I think you're describing the Ian Knot[1] or the Secure Ian Knot[2]

I use the first for apron strings and draw strings, and the second for tying my shoes, and both knots are pretty much guaranteed to never come undone by themselves. The first one can be tied in like two seconds once you're used to it. And in fact, it may be just as "secure" as the more complex secure knot, so maybe I don't even need that one...

Because i am very objective person and this is just hard fact.
It may be healthy to think that way but just not the reality.
Yes, everyone experiences life differently, and the sum total of those experiences covers a wide spectrum.

Personally, I’ve been on both sides of this conversation. Grew up dirt poor, started working as a teen to help my family make ends meet, and dreamed of a “better” life where the work I did mattered to me and the money I made would be sufficient to not constantly wonder where the next meal comes from. A constant source of that soul crushing misery and despair.

Later in life, I was fortunate enough to experience the lifestyle afforded by a Silicon Valley salary after working my ass off to get there, an “arrival” of sorts.

Younger me had no ability to comprehend how/why this high paying job would make me more deeply unhappy than I’d ever been in my life.

Life experience is contextual and relative, but important nonetheless.
Right, that was the point of the parent comment that started this, I wish there was a web app to do this like Google has. And someone replied saying there is, and linking to instructions on how to use an iOS device, which is exactly not what the original comment was about.
> I despise being a cog in a huge corporate machine, it’s like the job was designed to be as unappealing as possible.

How much of your unhappiness is your job, or more so a function of having a continually growing list of responsibilities that can become to feel suffocating (e.g., marriage, kids, managing people at work, etc).

Because it can be a taboo subject, I’ve seen people misattribute their unhappiness to a single thing when it’s really a culmination of many things … and their isn’t a way to “fix” the unhappiness (you can’t “un-have” a kid)
I agree that e.g. locating .mo files is out of scope for a stdlib, but runtime format strings seems like something the stdlib could do. Because it does not, std::fmt is borderline useless for software which wants to support multiple languages.

Please do not just read through the Java API specification. It is enormous. A lot of it is irrelevant to almost everyone (the first entries are java.applet.* and java.awt.*). A lot of what sounds relevant is often implemented better and more usefully in third-party packages. This is BS advice.

Read the docs for types and modules you see in use, in your codebase. Do an occasional code dive into the standard library and poke around in it. Do not just read through the Java standard library.
One fix that was mentioned in the comments that would have been easy to implement (and, frankly, bizarre it’s not implemented yet) is confirming password when performing such critical actions as removing or adding devices/telephone numbers.
>Bravely coming out against... rape victims?

your sarcasm is completely misplaced, 1) coming out against rape victims would actually be quite brave, you'd get downvoted to hell, but 2) I didn't do that. "Rape victims" who have children (women) don't pay child support, men do.

OP is against all child support, in which he's wrong, but with regard to rape, a child born from a rape is entitled to child support from which men? that part of his comment actually made no sense at all
It appears that the situation in Russia is much improved and Boris would likely feel the transition he initiated brought them close to parity in terms of availability and variety:

It's not good news for Linux distros. This setting breaks GRUB's expectations of shim being available when Secure Boot is enabled. Because of this, it will decline booting and will show you an error message.

IIRC EVGA and Gigabyte have "Audit mode" option in their firmware, which does only logging.
PHP was built around this idea for decades %)

Theoretically one could produce ready-to-run, guaranteed clean Python request handlers very quickly. Run all the startup and imports stuff in a Python process, then freeze it. Fork a copy of it on a new request (with COW it's definitely fast), and terminate it normally after that. This would require some care, e.g. to not open sockets before the fork, so that handlers won't share it.

I bet it has been tried, but I'm too lazy to actually search for that.
Holding up the ridiculous edge case that almost never happens and needs reform -- rape victims that end up as a non-custodial parent and thus owing child support -- to prevent an honest discussion of the whole issue (with more common injustices but also complexity and nuance) sucks. It doesn't help us move forward and improve the world.

this reminded me of The Egg, and decided to reread it.

> They inevitably move, only to find the new place they're in sucks, just in different ways.

A recovering alcoholic friend of mine once told me this syndrome is well known in 12 step programs. They call it "doing a geographical."
you asked where I got it from, and I explained succinctly; I think my answer was adequate and is a perfectly valid criticism. That you had a different reaction does not require introspection, nor does it require me to be wrong. i hope you don't go online just looking for agreement all the time.
The VSL is for the Valuation of a Statistical Life, which is shown at the first link you posted. That's entirely different from saying that all lives are treated as having the same value.

If you follow your link to the actual VSL guidance, you will see that. [1] There is even discussion regarding how advances in data science can be used for subgroup evaluation of VSLs.

And yes, a lawyer for the defense will show that, unlike a zip file of photos that can ONLY be copies of protected works and that anyone distributing such a zip file cannot reasonably say that they are expecting non-infringing works, with Stable Diffusion there is basically no one expecting to get copies of any of the plaintiffs protected works.

Like, literally no one who made or uses SD knows or cares about the plaintiffs, is interested in their drawing style, and even remotely interested in any of their individual protected works. If I were the defendants I would train a model without any of the plaintiffs’ work and then show the court that the results for an astronaut riding a horse are no worse without their works.

And no, some lawyer is not going to scream out “objection, intent has nothing to do with copyright”, because, again, all that is meant by the intent is this: if Stable Diffusion output an image but your intent was not to copy another image… well too bad, you’re still infringing… this all happens where the liability for disseminating the copy and foregoing any fair use is on the person using the tool. Is using the tool worth the risk? Maybe not!

The intentions of the toolmakers are very important to the courts. A tool like a torrent website that does literally nothing to police their content and even actively promotes piracy is going to be treated differently than publicdomaintorrents.info.
MSI Z690 has coreboot support, https://www.phoronix.com/news/MSI-Z690-A-DDR5-Coreboot
A very unlikely planet-killing asteroid. I can live with the odds.

To those who can't, may I ask a question? When you walk in the street to go to work, do you wear bullet-proof gear in case someone shoots you? I mean it may happen, just like the asteroid. It just feels weird to not accept some risk.

Let's face it: space exploration is cool, that's all. No need to find excuses :)
Part of the issue with this MSI problem, is that the firmware also measures TPM events that say "Secure Boot is enabled with this configuration" even when it's not. These events are (almost always) used for FDE (via PCR 7) with a TPM.

This means that even if you setup FDE correctly (binding to say PCRs 0, 7, and 11), you would be able to bypass FDE using this MSI bug. For example, BitLocker binds to PCR 7.

You could get around this bug by sealing to PCR 4 (which contains the _hash_ of the bootloader). But then you have to redo FDE sealing every time your bootloader updates.
Meanwhile, the externality of the damage cheap disinformation causes to society won't be paid by the creators of this technology.

I fear that computer scientists don't have the necessary training in and understanding of ethics and social sciences to comprehence the consequences their creations are having on other people and society as a whole.
It was a very slow creep of changes. For the first year, they really didn't change much (except gutted our health insurance plan and got rid of "unlimited" vacation).

Eventually, they tried to get us to integrate with more and more of their other products, which introduced a TON of extra "stakeholders" on every single project.

With every extra stakeholder they also had to introduce extra meetings and extra process until even making a small change felt like a massive chore. I went from merging dozens of changes a week to maybe one or two.

Felt pretty claustrophobic after a bit so I ended up leaving to go somewhere smaller.
After 15 years of engineering... I'm still insecure. So are most engineers. I wouldn't tell someone to stop being insecure. I'd let them know it's totally normal to feel insecure.
What if Amazon is just an online bookstore? What if Apple is just a computer company? What if Google is just a search engine?

I didn't make it past the paywall, but I think this is a pretty silly argument. Yes, the stock might even drop another 50% between now and the bottom of the recession as margins fall to keep demand level. No, the company is going to be just fine. They'll be making huge software-style margins on FSD in 2024 and beyond. FSD has been the better part of a decade in the making, and it runs on every Tesla made since 2019. That's a lot of cars! Hundreds of thousands of people have it, and while it definitely isn't complete yet, they're a heck of a lot closer. My sources are my friends that use FSD in their own cars every day.

The really cool thing about FSD is that the same software is going to take Tesla into whole new markets with the Tesla Bot in a few years. This isn't worth anything to Wall Street right now, but it sure will be in 2027.

How old do I have to become for "time heals all wounds" to work? I am 41 now, which is seemingly old for this website, but figure it might take another decade or two for that one to make sense? (How old are you?) In my so-far-limited experience, it isn't time that heals wounds, but active shifts in perspective (which of course require some time to happen but it isn't like time is doing it: I have many "wounds" that hurt just as much now as they did 20 years ago, because I have not been able to obtain any kind of closure and the thing that happened didn't retroactively change or anything... at best I just try to ignore it, but that was my same strategy right after stuff happened ;P).
If 100% of the population was vaccinated, 100% of the hospitalization and deaths would be of vaccinated people. Can you see how your argument is so very stupid?

Edit: post limited, so I’m going to dump this here and not further engage in refuting such inane idiocy:

> Full dose vaccination reduced the need for ICU admission by 49.7% (95% CI = 17-70) and mortality by 56.5% (95% CI = 20-77).

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36129790/

EVERY study shows that vaccination is extremely effective in reducing hospitalization and mortality.
I somewhat recall he was warning working engineers, who had not yet learned to anticipate the inevitable, and were not, he felt, being given representation by the IEEE.
It's not a perceived vulnerability, it was a real, fundamentally unavoidable vulnerability, which is why we're here talking about the aftermath. This is why I disagree that marketing could have solved it.

I hope that they provide a visible warning that secure boot is subverted.

So it's not that some evil maid could replace the boot chain and update the firmware settings to make it behave as if nothing happened.

Just for those folks who use and want it.

And maybe also introduce a TOFU model i.e. "allow execute" but ask when the hash changes, so booting the same unsigned binary is OK but updates aren't silently allowed and require a quick confirmation (possibly with a timer for unattended reboots). Won't help against physical attacker but should help against a malware that manages to get root and tries to install itself into the boot chain.
A conversation I overheard at work back when WOT was only up to maybe 6 books, between a coworker who brought the latest book to work to read at lunch and on breaks and another guy:

That game looks cool. Good job!
I have a Z97 board from ASUS that exhibits this behavior. It’s a bit ridiculous because there is no Secure Boot option in BIOS other than disable/enable.

There are historical and cultural reasons for our poorly insulated and heated homes, but "heating the core" is not one of them.

In the last few years the central govt has brought in legislation requiring landlords to heat and insulate homes to a certain standard.
If there was a fixed supply of currency the deflationary thing would be #1 problem.

Otherwise, the issue is the loss of regional monetary supply controls.

People do not like their salaries changing in nominal terms - that causes riots, but salaries are fluxuating vis-a-vis other national markets you just don't see it, because it's 'hidden' behind currency fluxuations.

Having everyone change their salaries and pricing all the time dramatically because of international issues is bad. It's easier to have regional economies have their own currencies, and to smooth out fluxuations between economies vis-a-vis central bank.

And of course, major actors would cause all sorts of problems.

The notion of a global currency is completely insane - neat thought experiment, but probably a total disaster.

The people who are behind most Crypto generally have utterly no understanding of what money is, and this is a primary problem with crypto.

"Oh, there is a dollar, I can make a digital thing and also call it a dollar!"

Yeah, no.

It's why most of the financial world is befuddled with crypto - because they are looking at tech people driving cars off of a cliff by burning 2% of the world's electricity supply. It's just economic populism.
Yes, I did consider that. That's exactly my point. He stated he hates (A) and likes (B). I suggested that hating (A) is a poor POV. It would be better to like both (A) and (B) even if you prefer (B).

Let's put it another way. If someone says the France sucks, Germany rules. And someone replies "The France doesn't suck, here's a few reasons why". Why do you feel the need to jump in and defend the POV that "France sucks"?

I also listed spending time with people as a plus to the city. It's interesting that you left that out. I'd guess if the author had a job they loved with people they loved their attitude about everything else would change. The fact they're in a job they hate arguably taints everything else about their life. Commuting of course sucks if it's to a place you don't want to go in the first place. To me, commuting by public transport rocks because I got, on average, 50+ minutes of walking (25 each way) for free (added to the 20 minutes of standing on the train)

> the amount of Earthborne equipment and supplies to build a self-sustaining extraterrestrial supply chain is far below necessitating stripmining the Earth bare - obviously, since we were able to bootstrap terrestrial industry just fine without (yet) doing so.

Considering how quickly industrialization has damaged Earth's ancient ecology I sincerely doubt industry could be sustainably stood up on a planet like Mars.

You may be underestimating how special Earth is as a home, and vastly overestimating how suitable Mars would be for carbon-based life.
But without a legal precedent in place and an official standard, web scraping to use for machine learning purposes can't tell the difference, and frankly shouldn't have to.

Reproduction of the original data is one problem, but if we create restrictions around using data for training purposes I believe this is a huge impediment to human progress.

I would imagine that the state of the art in foreign language translation (Google translate, etc) would fall significantly behind for example.
There was an article (can't find the link) where a journalist couldn't get sufficient help from regular Abb Support; so he called up one of their (Media Relations?) people and told them he's writing a piece on customer satisfaction with Abb -- of course conveniently mentioning his most-recent troubles -- *"Would you like to comment for the article?"*.

He says, his problems were immediately escalated, then resolved properly. And...he still wrote the piece.

When I can find the link, will post here.

So... perhaps put a Twitter/HN/etc call-out to journalists, if they're planning to write articles on Abb, that you'ld like to share your experiences (headaches).

Someone who needs to be on a performance plan expects HR to force coworkers to be more patient? Sounds about right
The value of -0 as distinguished from +0 has a few uses. The most obvious one is preserving sign in the case of overflow. A less obvious use case is handling branch cuts. There are uses in a few more cases: I've heard it's occasionally useful in things like coordinate systems, since something like "0°5'3" W" can be stored as (-0.0, 5, 3) after explosion and still display correctly. It's definitely niche, but it does have its uses.

Returning a distinct value that retains the fact that it overflowed is quite useful--if you get that result out of the computation, you know you overflowed the computation rather than silently getting a meaningless result. Note in particular that infinities end up being sticky values: once a value goes infinite, it tends to stay infinity, which isn't true for largest finite values. Distinguishing between various kinds of "invalid" values turns out to be moderately useful in practice--I've used infinities a couple of times in my own code.

NaNs are useful in representing a different kind of error than overflowed computation. Now there is a lot of room to criticize IEEE 754 here: "x != x" was quite frankly a mistake (basically the primary reason for it was the creators wanted to make testing for NaN easier than calling isnan(x)...). sNaNs are of course an abomination that just makes things worse. Multiple NaN payloads were originally intended (in part) to let developers debug the sources of NaNs, but this requires support that never really materialized. However, NaN payloads did find new use in making NaN-boxing a useful technique, and dedicating an entire exponent to special values simplifies several numerical analysis lemmas.
For your information, I understand what is meant by stochastic parrot, but after interacting with ChatGPT quite a bit it is clear to me it is doing real thinking.

One way you can verify this is to ask for its opinion about novel things, for example you can invent something new and ask its ideas about it. It will give genuine feedback that shows understanding and does not show parroting behavior. Soon you will be able to ask it to build you the damn thing as well, and that should put an end to the idea that it is just parroting. It's not quite there so sometimes it does indeed seem to just parrot.

But it has real thoughts as well.
Ask HN: Does anyone else notice Joe Rogan using dark pattern advertising?
This is a good example:

This is obviously a Dan Carlin ad. I noticed one recently where he just asks the guest about their glasses, and the guest proceeds to straight up advertise a website that sells those glasses.

It feels like a very disingenuous way of advertising and it's happening more and more.
Do the image/font/script optimizations also work for SSG? I thought it was just for server side rendering. Also, does `next export` emit raw HMTL/CSS/JS or does it include React as the renderer as well? I seem to remember that `next export` could emit a build that (potentially) could work without JS as well, ie using React as purely a templating language rather than for logic.
