Yes. But the Western Media has been soft on those in the West who do business with SA, have political relationships with SA, etc.

For example, even POTUS Trump* got a free pass. His first overseas visit was to SA. Imagine that, of all our allies, he goes to SA first. And yet, not a peep of outrage, even from The Left leaning media. Why would that be?

* This is not an attack of DJT. It simply a perfect example of how (intentionally) blind the media is to those who accept and enable SA.

A Letter to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
> Doominess and gloominess is the real disease of our times

I see SIGNIFICANTLY more homeless people in the two cities I frequent than at any other time in my life, there is a snow covered tent city half a kilometer from the glass monstrosity Google has built here and mostly doesn't occupy. Facism is on the rise globally. A third world war is possibly percolating in Europe. Google is soaking up all the bulk of revenue that used to go to publishers. Amazon has destroyed at least half of bookstores.

But sure, I guess gloominess is the issue. Does all of the above make you happy somehow?
If something relies on trusted data I'd argue there isn't a ReDoS vulnerability there at all.

In some ways this reminds of XML/JSON parsing vulnerabilities. If ran on untrusted / unsanitised data they can be absolutely tier 1 critical (remote code execution) but if parsing trusted data then they are essentially benign.

If someone claims you have a vulnerability and you disagree then it's on the submitter to prove it with a PoC or a plausible mechanism for triggering it.

That doesn't however invalidate the whole class of vulnerabilities.

You can see it on reddit. The subreddits used to be interesting and relatively diverse, now it’s just autoposting by pots and thousands of identical comments. It’s only on the small subreddits that there’s still actual content and they’ll be destroyed with time.
Interesting point! I think there's something to it.

Forgive me if my central European bias is showing, but I've always discounted how important it is to align yourself with the mission of the company you decide to work for. Seemed to me like it's a complete bonus and luxury if the two overlap, and the default is just... work.

Of course as long as the company isn't actively working against something you would consider your values.

But it's definitely a question that can't be ignored if one wants to do some digging.
Yeah, it seems a little crazy to me the FOMC FFR decisions are burying the lede on RRP and TGA activities. I can't think of another similar period in Federal Reserve and Treasury history to compare to.

FOMC = Federal Open Market Committee

FFR = Federal Funds Rate

RRP = Reverse Repo Facility

TGA = Treasury General Account
It's a short spiral pattern, seems a little weird to attribute it to anything?

Show HN: Pressn't – a site where you can only have a single post
Today's internet is filled with dopamine wells of content. I wanted to steer away from that and foster meaningful writing. So I made a site where you can only have a single post. The intention is to encourage thoughtful posts like the blogs we all love here at HN (Paul Graham's, fasterthanlime, Bartosz Ciechanowski's, etc).

For now posts are only markdown, but I intend to make some markdown extensions to make posts more dynamic.

Startups offering "equity compensation" is a scam in every case I've encountered it. The first is that if a company is not publicly traded the "value" of the equity compensation is essentially just fiction - even if you have access to secondary markets, which you typically do not, due to the lack of any actual market interest.

Of course the "secondary market" is also a very big "if", as numerous startups have a variety of restrictions on how equity can be transferred - either explicitly or because your comp is "options" in a non-public company.

There is a real problem in the startup world where "equity compensation" is intentionally designed to be close to zero real value or cost. There have been numerous stories (on HN no less) over the years where startups have arranged to be bought in ways that result in the effective value of vested "equity" dropping to zero value for ICs, or founders/VC investors getting to cash out after funding rounds, but ICs not having those options. The notion that an IC is not investing financially in your startup because they didn't explicitly give you cash is BS - if you don't want to "dilute" the company, pay them cash.

Anyway, given the background of startups screwing over early employees I am simply not interested in listening to such companies blaming other factors making it "hard" to IPO, until I see a real shift to ensure that ICs are properly compensated for their investments in the company pre-IPO.
The purpose of communication is to distribute and filter information. We don't actually need to communicate. We do it to distribute and filter information. It is currently a very inefficient process. If AI does that for us in the future, all is good and we end up being more efficient. No more time wasted on reading & writing comments on the Internet.

AI should be able to pick the most relevant information for you and present it in the most compressed form.
If heroin was legal and pure, there would be far fewer fentanyl overdose deaths.

The number of deaths from not-fentanyl is low so calling it "drug overdose deaths" instead of "fentanyl overdose deaths" is disingenuous.

In a comment[0] on the previous discussion of this paper, arberx posted a slightly older analysis[1]. The techniques in that analysis seem much more useful for identifying exchanges with huge amounts of fake volume. Identifying wash trading at more legitimate-looking exchanges is a difficult problem though.

Of course any bad dog is likely to be called a "pit bull mix" regardless of appearance, like any rifle mentioned in a news story is an "AR15 assault weapon," today, or was an "Uzi" years ago.

Pit Bulls (and a couple other terrier breeds) have a unique relationship with pain. Many individuals of these breeds do not react to pain the way we expect, for them just its another sensation and not worth avoiding. This leads to training problems and communications problems. People expect that a nose flick communicates "stop that", but instead it tells the dog "violent responses are part of civil discussion."
One use case is probably as gateway, I could put IRC on it and wireguard and have an emergency entry into a network.
> When the proof terminates (well, if it does :) you can look at the completed proof tree and find a justification of the proof

This is of course correct as far as it goes, but it's not what this project means by "motivation" of a proof. Their concept of "motivation" is a lot closer to "what would your reasoning process be if you were trying to derive the proof yourself". In particular, this requires avoiding needless brute-force searches. (It's probably the case that some statements can only be proven via brute-force, but if so they're of course out of scope for a project aiming for "motivated" proofs!)

The real open question AFAICT is whether the informal examples given in this project of a "motivated proof" are actually also motivated in a formal sense. It may be that statements that can be formally shown to be "easy" to derive are limited to things we would already regard as so trivial as to be totally uninteresting.

(For instance, statements of syllogistic logic are known to be very easy to prove; i.e. the computational complexity of finding such proofs is quite low, so they can be usefully applied even as one's knowledge base of "background" facts grows very large. But such proofs are also not very interesting!)
This rings very true to me. There is a huge difference between waiting in line for “now I’ll be able to get online anywhere” and “now I’ll be able to use the next generation of wireless broadband” let alone the smaller increments most years involve.

I’m the maintainer of many high profile repositories in JavaScript land (react, react native, prettier, excalidraw…) and the following paragraph rings true:

“But there is no public evidence whatsoever that these instances warrant the noise, make-work, and consequent fatigue that their reports induce.”

All the vulnerabilities ever reported through this channel were regex dos and were absolutely not real security issues. Most of the times they were in code paths that were not actually used which makes matter worse.

Because a bunch of companies are hooking up their security processes with those reports, it leads to situations where people are alarmed about those non issues. It generates truly useless work to the maintainer and put them in situation where they have to justify that the report is completely bogus even though it has a “CVE” attached to it.
I never had those issues with SCSI. By 1996 I had a Zip drive, a Jaz drive, an external CDROM drive and two external hard drives connected to my PPC 6100 without issues.
There was quite a bit of discussion about this when it happened. Not sure what news media you were listening to, but there was quite a bit of push back for this decision when it happened from main stream commentators.
I think that depends on signal to noise ratio. If your snapshots change a lot normally and it's irrelevant to the code you're trying to alter, you'll get used to skipping by them.

But if you use the snapshots as a means of understanding the templating and checking what it alters, people are much happier to examine the diff.

> If I do something not meeting Western standards, I'm liable to get cancelled.

This just means you’re getting information from unreliable sources. “Cancelled” sounds like you’ll be unemployable but 99% of the time it means someone said something insulting, some people criticized them, and they had no significant consequences. The American and English right-wing like to talk like cancellation is a real problem because it’s both an effective marketing tool (notice how often complaints about being cancelled are delivered in for-profit books and media by people making upper-class incomes from it) and as a proactive defense against criticism.
Doesn’t SG tightly control their press? So how do we know how many overdose deaths they have? Also, they have a population of about 6M, including expats, compared to 300M in the US.
Note that you are unlikely to achieve 95% efficiency on the gas. That requires you to run your plumbing at about 20 degrees (celcius), since burning gas means simple thermodynamics apply. At 40C you're already down to 90%, and virtually every installation I've seen actually is set to 60-80 degrees, at which point you're nearing an efficiency of only half.

Hotter water means a more reactive system and smaller radiators (you'll need five times the volume for a given power output when you compare plumbing water of ~30 to 70+. You are almost certainly not installing that. Maybe you are installing floor heating, in which case you are likely OK.

But most people I speak to don't realize that 1. Gas efficiency goes up as temperature differential goes down, and 2. energy transfered to water also needs to leave the system at your radiators. So size them for the effiency you want, or be disappointed with a significantly higher gas bill.
> Sure, buddy, just like ChatGPT will turn us into Einsteins, Knuths and Turings (hint: they won’t, you can’t replicate exceptional people with a crutch; exceptional people will be able to utilize it, but not general public)

Run-of-the-mill programmers are now building extremely complex solutions thanks to data structures and algorithms invented by the likes of Knuth. Sometimes it helps knowing the internals, most of the time, however people are using them only knowing inputs, outputs, and the name of the API method.
I completely agree with this comment. This seems like a paper published by someone who knows some mathematical techniques but has no domain knowledge.

Best case, she could get a backup from him.
That sounds perfectly plausible except if people are expecting these services to be free like all big tech platforms currently are. In that case the AI will tailor information to manipulate you to do what the people paying the platforms want whether that is buying a product or supporting a political cause.
Ubuntu is decent, I made the switch you describe and never looked back (at least for dev stuff!).

> “Importance” is subjective

No, not really. "Importance" is a rough proxy for legacy and influence. This is why one can say without any trace of subjectivism that Shakespeare is the most important writer of the English language, or Kafka the most important writer in modern German, etc. Maybe this is slightly less rigorous in the case of '2666' which is still a relatively young work, but it is widely hailed as a landmark novel.
My gut feeling is that it's fairly well known, but few people use it. Including yours truly.

Then again, I have rarely run into performance issues with database engines. Either the ones I've had contact with (SQLite, MSSQL, Postgres) are very good at what they do (which I suspect they are), or my requirements were too puny for them to break a sweat (which I also suspect to be the case).

I did use MSSQL Studio's query analyzer once to fix a performance issue and was able to get the query in question from nearly an hour down to under a second. triumphant grin I don't remember the details of the query, but the solution was to use a hash join.

"non-sensical tasking"

That could also be the result of thrashing after they were really far into the mess. That is, the solver maybe did output something sensible, but that solution has to get into the system that's used at runtime. Someone may have run another solution, or did manual updates while it was too overwhelmed to get all the changes posted. The solvers also depend on other context that's changing underneath them.
Southwest has the legacy SkySolver version which - believe it or not - runs locally on Windows OS. There is a cloud version that Southwest was either too cheap to buy or too resistant to migrate.
This is clearly riffing on Ørberg's Lingua Latīna per sē illūstrāta, which is a great introductory book to teaching yourself Latin. There are no explanations of anything; you have to deduce the meaning of the Latin phrases using the contextual clues given to you in the form of pictures and maps. And it works well.

Yes, i don't care much how much GDP grows, as all the system is broken. 90% of population is broke. Why care about those 10% "richness" at all.

Where's the rich come from ? From corruption. Some of them is in prison now, but it's not enough. 90% of richness comes from corruption.

Who's the rich ? Police and policician.

As a result, no more land for the poor. No jobs for the poor (labor work is hard work with very low pay).

I mean, there’s certain types of cultural exports or hegemony that makes sense. We got the Aztecs to stop sacrificing children to Huitzilopochtli. We don’t live in a world where people REALLY believe in total cultural relativism.

I think you’re spot on that we in the West find “step above slavery jobs” extremely distasteful. This results in situations where the news media celebrates the closing of a “child sweatshop” in Cambodia, but the cameras aren’t rolling when, faced with poor economic conditions due to the factory closing, those same children are now working in a child brothel, which everyone agrees is worse.

Similarly, Siddharth Kara has recently revealed the horrors going on in the Congo involving the Cobalt trade with the warlords and the Chinese. That ones interesting too because thirty years ago the operations were run by South Africans but the western world largely agreed this was wrong so they ceded the land back to the Congo. This resulted in warlords becoming enriched by the power vacuum and becoming well armed and making things horrific for the poor people living in Congo who have to mine up toxic cobalt with their bare hands in dangerous tunnels and pits.
As a repeat pit bull rescuer, I think these laws make the problem worse -- not better.

Pit bull attacks are the result of poor human treatment and poor human understanding of dog behavior. Outright banning terrier species that look like pits just encourages their reputation as dangerous and difficult -- leading people to buy and breed them in order to be scary or to fight.

The pit bull problem, like all dog problems, stems from dog breeding, dog sales, and inhumane treatment and rearing of dogs. Like another commenter mentioned, treating these dogs with violence and physical dominance just teaches them to get better at those techniques.

There will always be dogs that are not good with other dogs -- and dogs that are not good with people or kids. (We have people like this in society, too.) It is possible to love and care for such dogs and to keep them away from danger to themselves or others. It's the right thing to do.
