I have ideas for a "Hackers 2" better than that. All these "30 years later" sequels are dripped in nostalgia too much imo. The Hacking scene is a lot more wilder now. It's hard to imagine either of the leads not having their own family or being divorced with kids or something. They can still be cool to an older audience I guess but you need to let the under 40 crowd relate with them.

My idea is something like "Summer Wars" (anime movie, highly recommend) meets the character building and realism of "The Joker" with the humor,fun and style of the original "Hackers". I'll use layman friendly but still technical stories of actual hacks from various threat intel reports I've read over the years that make anything you seen in movies sound boring. Most of you in tech also read these reports but what most of you don't read is the personal details of the actors behind them. APTs and their organization as part of different governemnt units (china for example have MSS and different units in the PLA) but also those guys don't always work strictly for the state. I have seen first hand guys doing whitehat security work but I also had extensive intel on APTs in their region using those very specific techniques lol, but don't take my word for it either directly or via informal association (russia amd criminal groups for example) many of the APT attacks you hear about involve regular people which always made me think of how easy it would be to weave them into a movie plot. I would also like to add a blue teamer's perspective: the shock, the awe, the excitement, the chaos, the friendly fire! Of what happens when blueteams outside of security vendor companies go toe-to-toe with APT actors.

Honestly, I am really keen on inspiring younger people because the talent shortage is real (and you do get paid well in our industry).90%+ of people I interact with these days work in infosec but I'm hard pressed to find anyone who's even heard of "the manifesto".
That’s a very accurate summary of where I work at the moment. All the nice things were said, but everything that made us what we were is being destroyed piece by piece.
The author seems to admit that narcotics on warrant were justified (or at least logical). I am not sure what his expectation is. Aren't you risking years of jail because of that alone? Seems wildly irresponsible if he has family and kids.

On the other hand, I don't know the full situation and trying to infer information from this submitted video.

If homeless people were legally confined in some government-run institution and were able to use drugs inside that institution, how would you react? I would react by saying that the government institution that confines our homeless people is doing a shitty job. I also say SPS is doing a shitty job.
dTal, Looks like you can't (explain with numbers). That's OK. It's counterintuitive but not counterfactual. Maybe you're not smarter than me afterall. Here are some numbers for you:

Oil per weight - Source to table

1kg of chicken - 300ml oil

1kg of bread - 210ml oil

1kg of tomato - 650ml oil

Nutrition per oil

Chicken - 0.9g protein/ml oil

Bread - 0.42g protein/ml oil

Tomato - 0.1g protein/ml oil

Because the vaccine makers have thousands of times more money and media power. A study is just a study. They'd fund multiple counter studies.

Vaccines are a subscription model business for pharma. Every time they get a new vaccine approved it's a potential market of 8 billion people that they don't have to wait for to get sick.

People argue that pharma would actually make more money not selling flu vaccines, for example, because people would have to pay for more expensive treatments that would benefit them more, but that's illogical because most flu is treated with cheap otc meds at home.

Vaccines are great, but people will lose faith in them if they get the impression that pharma is motivated by greed and not for doing good for humanity.
Not supporting vertical dock clients is indeed a limitation in i3, using another dock client doesn't help here.
Setting aside the problem (mentioned in the article) that these images were produced for an aristocratic class, and possibly don’t accurately describe the reality of a peasant’s home, then what’s most striking is how decorative the interiors are: patterned floors, painted walls, and neat carpentry.

I’ve read the theory that the life of peasants in the Middle Ages was demonized and made to sound dystopian to encourage the working class of the Industrial Revolution (including ‘forgetting’ all the traditional festivals and days free from labor), and this sort of article makes me wonder whether this is additional evidence. Or possibly just the sanitized version for the entertainment of the upper class?

PS: a sidenote - strange to see spelling mistakes like a “pain of glass” in an academic paper.
I can't believe I'm pointing this out on HN of all places, but if making a song about weed gets your house raided and is considered probable cause, then the government is infringing your first amendment rights.
> How do you define rich.

As social animals humans are exceedingly skilled at determining fairness if they decide as a group. They will never get it perfect but they will get close enough. Your argument is a schoolboy argument: if the pie can't be divided exactly then you get most of it because you're bigger.

Progressive taxes don't need the precision you're demanding. It's a strawman argument.

Production is driven by demand and will very likely expand now that prices are rising again, just as production doubled back between 2011-2014 when last the price/kg rose [2] as it has in recent times.

Annual Gallium usage includes a substantial amount of reclaimed material from electronics which isn't counted as production against reserve.

> World primary low-purity gallium production capacity in 2021 was estimated to be 774,000 kilograms per year; high-purity refined gallium production capacity, 325,000 kilograms per year; and secondary high-purity gallium production capacity, 273,000 kilograms per year. [1]

"Graphics programmers" are historically some of the highest paid and hardest to hire programmers in gamedev. But they're probably less of a thing in the age of Unity and Unreal.
The execution by swe can still take 10 times longer depending on if you go with a proven, quick and dirty straightforward YAGNI solution vs reinventing the wheel in latest cool fad, with hundred layers of abstractions and configurations in beautifully crafted code in the most poetic rube goldberg machine you have ever seen.
I don't think I expressed myself very clearly, but I actually agree with you on most counts. The definition you listed is also the one I mentioned + evolution.

> What about fire?

I actually rambled about fire, and then deleted the paragraph because the comment was already all over the place. Fire, to me, is a good example of the "good definition" problem I mentioned. I guess we'd all agree it doesn't respond to stimuli, and a necessary property of having a metabolism would be some kind of homeostasis. It also doesn't undergo evolution.

But rejecting it on those grounds doesn't feel complete. Let's say we find some chemical reaction that does self-regulate. This exists in a lab or computer modeling (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2022987118). Let's say its properties are determined by some initial chemical markers: a basis for heredity. Would we now call it alive?

I don't think we would. I think our definition of life is "I know it when I see it" and the more formal definitions we've tried on in astrobiology are basically just retrofitted to the examples we know or can think of.
Even something approaching 2600 Wh/kg would be amazing.

Very often contractors come in over time and over budget in private sector as well. I've cleaned up after contractors who have done it, and we've done it too. There's nothing magical about the private sector, it's the exact same problem. Do you want 4/5ths of an app that no one else will figure out how to finish in a reasonable time, or do you want to pay us more than we asked to finish? The choice is obvious, predictable, and observable if you've ever been involved in contractor relationships.

Not necessary. The google search function still works fine, its just the content becomes worst. If the content is generated from ChatGPT, I don't see how it will cut out the middle-person. I believe a more likely scenario is people appending site:reddit.com for all of their search. It will be domain specific.

Isn’t the main benefit of chatGPT that it combines multiple resources to weave the answer? Things like handling typos or formulation nuances sound auxiliary to me, probably non-goals at this stage. It’s still less than 1 month old..

Cool to hear some background stories to i3 from you and the other replies here. I didn't think about it in some time since i3 just works, but yeah thanks for maintaining this great project. Also surprised Michael is still maintaining/using it after becoming a Go evangelist. ;;-)
This is the first time I’ve heard someone be optimistic about embedded. Better than game dev or EE but that’s only one step up on the work/pay ladder. I find my work interesting but I would have made a lot more optimizing the search bar on the Facebook android app or whatever.
The main and most important mono/oligopolies to break are in finance, medical education and law. These are the primary gatekeepers preventing value to reach consumer, these are rent-seeking vampires.

Tech is interesting example, of course, but it's like a tempest in the bowl right now. We should permit to innovate everywhere, not just in web search space and e-commerce.
It's no coincidence that most pseudo-science alternatives always have an answer for things and it never changes (see homeopathy or the general notion that if it's "natural" it must always br the best)
> Any thoughts on Unity vs Unreal?

Doesn't really matter. There's a kajillion games made in both.

Unity is used by smaller indies and mobile devs. Unity is not conducive to large projects for reasons. Unity programming largely means C#.

Unreal has minimal use on mobile and is mostly used by larger teams. It's popularity over custom engines is increasing. Programming in Unreal largely means C++.

Of course backends could be anything. The above refers to game clients.

Games don't pay as well as big tech for damn sure. But companies like Riot Games pay decent. Big AAAA games that make lots of money know they compete with the broader tech industry for talent. Senior positions will pay north of $200,000. It's not all starving artist land. But big tech would pay 2x to 3x.

What does YouTube stand to gain by not doing anything about it? I wonder if there is some scheme where YouTube employees are paid off to allow it to run or if it's good for engagement. The only explanation has to be negligence or even malice given that the scams are so obvious and it has been bought to youtube's attention now for something like 3 years even as far back as 2019. YouTube has been sued twice for inaction at dealing with the scam videos, by Steve Wozniak and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

This has to be the best scam ever. No one getting in trouble for this, unlike the NFT frauds. It flies under the radar, unlike NFT rug pulls which get much more attention but make less money and less consistent.
These models are huge and much bigger than StableDiffusion that limits itself to fit on gaming hardware.

For Bloom 176B, an alternative to GPT3, you may need a cluster/machine with 512GB of GPU memory. That’s expensive.

On a more normal machine, you can run something like GPT J 6B, but it’s very limited in comparison to ChatGPT.

Maybe we will find a way to reduce the size of the models while keeping the capabilities.
If your engine is better then they will buy it and shut you down. Or they will put 100x as much money into marketing as you have. Or they will hit you with law suits.

What I am trying to say is in practice big corporations have many ways to get rid of their competion. For them there is no need to be better.
My mistake, edited to clarify I meant iOS, not the Watch.

Though I did recently discover I can always make my watchOS Flashlight Red (instead of the default blinding White) by enabling Theater(?) Mode, which is nice.
If you look at the frequency response the intent is pretty clear, hearing everything from 60-100Hz at exactly the same volume is... surreal. They're more for mixing and leveling presumably, mastering (and having a nice musical arrangement) is a more involved process where you can seek to have the features of a track be more broadly compatible.

That's an extremely long time for eye contact. I bet you could get that time down too.
Definitely true. You’re not gonna starve, if you doing embedded at $BIGTECH probably 200-300k TC, but there will be a discount compared to the regular software engineers wherever you’re working.
No, what you are writing is not correct. It can make up "information" on the fly. It's goal is to sound plausible, not to tell the truth.

Second, the "language model" is a text completion engine. What can be controlled using conversational natur language is ChatGPT, which is a conversational engine developed out of a language model.

> Many of them are academic or quant types who seem to have some complex about being “bad at coding”.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this.

Coupled with this (which leads to: [I’m bad at coding so I won’t spend effort doing it even 1/2 way good]), and pandas having the most abstraction obfuscation of underlying data types, production can become a hot flaming mess that takes months to fix and scale up even linearly w/#of customers :sweat:

This is not a SAP-specific problem. I've seen highly paid programmers with veteran-like CVs deliver absolute crap in the PHP world. If there's a shortage of good programmers, you'll get this kind of thing. Moreso if it's in a un-sexy field of work like SAP.
Reddit bans teacher for sharing work that looks too much like AI
I've made my own simple physics engines and used linear algebra to do things like projecting from 3d to 2d space. None of it was any good but it was a lot of fun. This was back when I was most comfortable in Java and the performance was horrible. I don't know what methods of collision detection real engines use but Runge–Kutta is not a good option for real time games.

I don't know how to do it and make money but I would recommend playing with the math. It's like magic, you setup the formulas and things just start moving on the screen. It was so much fun.

MCUs with just 4MB of RAM may not even have IP based networking.
Agreed, but just to clarify: which instance did they sample?

Because if it's mastodon.social, people can and do migrate off that instance to smaller ones, and that might affect the final figure.
Poor analogy. More bandwidth does not occupy more physical space. Wider highways, very much so, to the point of producing an environment hostile to peaceful living, more noise and pollution, barriers to walking and nature etc.

I think they meant graphics programmers, not artists.
In my experience, there is no password that is generated by most humans that cannot be quickly and easily cracked by good password guessing tools. The tools have gotten to the point where they already know about every trick you might throw into the mix, and they already have mitigation schemes designed to be optimized for them.

You should be letting your password manager generate all your passwords, according to the limits imposed by the site, and make sure that you never accidentally re-use any of those passwords anywhere. It should be a reliable password manager with local storage of the vault. If cloud storage/sync is used, you should be able to choose your own cloud storage/sync mechanism.

And then you should add 2FA on top of that, if you can.
I think you're grossly overestimating what is happening.

Why exactly have you placed information between quote marks?
There's (kind of) a way around that, if you don't build sharing things to the public in an anonymous way into your system.

SyncThing and Jami are fine because they don't provide publishing tools the way BitTorrent does, just personal use and private group tools.

There's still lots of unexplored potential that has nothing to do with publishing, but most P2P devs seem to be most interesting in trying to get rid of all centralization entirely and build a whole new internet.

I don't follow Mozilla news, but it looks like FF Send claims they closed because people were using it to ship malware.

Yeah, I didn't express myself very clearly, sorry.

Let me try again: I think our various definitions of life are not the actual definition that most astronomers have in their head. I think the actual definition people believe is "I know it when I see it." Two illustrative examples:

Let's say we find a system of chemical reactions going on somewhere that meets most definitions: self-regulating, initial chemical seeds as a basis for heredity, some chain of triggers that causes it to look like it's responding to a stimulus.... This is isn't far-fetched, reactions like this exist in a lab. I don't think we'd call that thing alive - we don't currently. There would be arguments, but most people would probably agree it's a technicality.

Now let's say we find something totally way out there crazy from a science fiction book, like a naturally occurring "computer" running an alien civilization on it. It doesn't have homeostasis - would we call it alive? Most people probably would.

I guess I am prposing that the prevailing actual definition of life that lives in our heads is probably closer to "would I feel bad about killing it?" By both this and the more technical definition, we'd almost certainly recognize it, at least when studied up close. (But probably not through a telescope.)

Is that more sensible?

> you appeal to authority (your own) to elevate your opinion over those of us mere common-sense mortals.

I mean, I'm actually kind of arguing in favor of a common-sense definition, and it's a comment on the internet, which would take me three times as long to type if I sourced it. I would do that for a blog post, but I don't even know if anyone is going to read this :)

But, in fact, this is all so abstract that I wouldn't know what to cite. I still think having an idea of biochemistries, the energy scales, etc. makes someone in the field more qualified to speculate than completely uninformed internet comments.
All companies strive/want/expect/hope/conspire for one thing for cost: When purchasing for the input it would like to operate with terms of a market economy but when selling their goods/services they would like to be monopolistic. It's very a fundamental and natural desire. Desire to kill competition is just a manifestation of this fundamental rule.
