> And ML is a much more popular topic than finance.

Holy SV-bubble moly, I don't think that's true, maybe not even in SV itself.

Two quick comparisons:

- https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Finance,... (Finance VS Machine Learning)

- https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Finance%... (Finance News VS Machine Learning News)

Even when comparing the region where "Machine Learning" is the most popular (South Korea), it ends up being 18% / 82% for "Finance". Or comparing the most popular city (Sunnyvale) it ends up being 14% / 86% for "Finance".

Not only is finance both a deeper and wider subject than machine learning, but also most people know that finance exists one way or another, while most people in the world probably haven't even heard about machine learning.
> I have no idea what's up with Hungary though.

I assume it's the same thing that's up with the German far right: they consider themselves in opposition to the EU / Berlin and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

While that's also somewhat true for Poland, Poland likely calculates the risks differently based on their specific history with Russia. They don't want to become as progressive as Germany, but unlike a renewed Russian empire they don't see Western progressiveness as an existential threat to Polish independence.
A comment on that post:

“I’m the original author of this code, though I no longer maintain it.

”Just want to give folks a heads-up that we’ve been in discussion with various parties about this for some time now, as we agree the negative effects on the root servers are undesirable. So in terms of “do the Chromium folks know/care”; yes, and yes.

”This is a challenging problem to solve, as we’ve repeatedly seen in the past that NXDOMAIN hijacking is pervasive (I can’t speak quantitatively or claim that “exception rather than the norm” is false, but it’s certainly at least very common), and network operators often actively worked around previous attempts to detect it in order to ensure they could hijack without Chromium detecting it.

”We do have some proposed designs to fix; at this point much of the issue is engineering bandwidth. Though I’m sure that if ISPs wanted to cooperate with us on a reliable way to detect NXDOMAIN hijacking, we wouldn’t object. Ideally, we wouldn’t have to frustrate them, nor they us.”

A way for DNS root servers and Chromium devs to cooperate that couldn’t be hijacked by domain redirecting ISPs would be nice.
Nobody is immune to propaganda, some are just more susceptible than others. But if you're not capable of personal agency you shouldn't be online anyway.
> God help us if people start trying to use an overconfident chatbot to replace documentation :(.

A chat bot looks like a great help to parse through huge volumes of documentation.

If the chatbot built around the docs outputs garbage, that is a telltale sign that the documentation was garbage to start with.

Just because people started developing clever chatbots that misfire, let's not fool ourselves into believing documentation was a solved problem and all docs were squeaky clean.
Agree with the fact that google web search is now garbage.
I almost always use simultaneously yandex+google.
In google I always set a max limit date, usually 2 years back.
Personally I find the documentary and travel genre most interesting. I think it's quite a hard genre to get right, though. When one thinks travel photography the mind immediately goes to the saturated, contrasty, increasingly dark (for some reason, what is this trend?) photos that are popular on Instagram, but the genre can be so much more interesting.

One photographer I really like is Mitchell Kanashkevich who photographs mostly people on his travels. He really has a way of developing relationships with them to allow him to take photos you don't often see.

https://www.mitchellk-photos.com/

Another fun photographer who is mostly taking aerials is George Steinmetz who photographs for National Geographic. His assignments and projects are mostly related to global problems such as feeding the world population and climate change. He has some beautiful photos, and his Instagram is also quite fun with each post being two halfs of an aerial for that panoramic feel.

https://www.georgesteinmetz.com/

Honestly, a lot of the National Geographic photographers take amazing photos.

Personally, I try to incorporate a bit of both's style in my own photography, but of course it takes years of practice. I do mostly travel, documentary and landscapes. You can check out my work below.

That doesn't at all seem like what happened (the changes were in the works prior to the drama), but this is a high-drama tangent unrelated to the story here.

This isn't some tiny authoritative DNS server being flooded unexpectedly with queries. These are the Internet DNS root services. They have to keep up with this kind of traffic. It's their literal job description.
Nothing except concrete military capability, defensible border positioning, and an ingrained culture of territorial defensive without offensive aspirations has a good track record for lasting peace.

Any sort of peace acceptable to the Ukrainians is going to leave Russia with a lingering casus belli, which only the above (and NATO membership) is going to prevent escalating back into war.
Seymour doesn’t provide any proof or any evidence. It’s argument by assertion. What he writes is plausible but without any sources or other corroborating evidence. I think it more believable that Seymour has been paid to write this by a Russian aligned entity.

I don’t know the truth of the matter and Seymour could be right. We just can’t tell from the evidence provided.
Azure has Azure Files and Azrue NetApp Files, the later one is provided from NetApp. Azure Files was used in the article, maybe you are using NetApp Files?

Assume you are just going to ignore the fact that Florida is only ~51% white and he won Hispanics by 15 points? Or are Hispanics not counted as minorities in this narrative?

"Sure, and Florida is moving away from teaching useful things."

This is news to me as I review my kids homework with them every night and it seems to be full of useful things like math, science, reading comprehension, geography, etc. Its almost as if you are being fed a false narrative from wherever you get your information from and then you believe it...

Florida is just moving away from teaching sexuality to young kids.

As far as blaming everything on right wing media, I have voted Dem my entire life prior to this, every single vote I've ever cast. I'm mid 40s. I voted Dem on the federal level while voting Rep at the state level this last election. I don't think I've ever watched a complete segment of right wing media on TV or online in my life. I arrived at my opinion by observing how California has endorsed schools lying to parents regarding their kids sexuality and am against that.

What if instead of assuming that everyone that votes differently than you do is a poor misguided easily influenced idiot and instead you actually try to understand that they just have different priorities than you do. Everyone is trying to just do right by their family and you will get much further and be happier if you focus on the 90% of things that most of us have in common rather than attacking and insulting over the 10% that we disagree on. This attacking and denigrating of different political parties is weakening the country.

Or you can continue to be smug and condescending. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and superior to others. Your call. Based on your post history in this thread, I think we both know what you will choose.
Well, comments are turned off. They are desperate now.
You're not wrong, because that is true too, but it is NATO that scares Russia.

Given Russia's long history of bloody invasions, I don't think this is something Americans can at all relate to. The American Civil War is small potatoes compared to some of the things that Russians (and other continental countries) have been through.

It makes for a very paranoid country.
I work for a psychology and neuroscience department, and have done for over a decade now.

Does that give me genuine academic credentials? Pff, no.

Does it mean I have a reasonable high-level grounding in modern understanding of how the brain works? Yes, it does.

Again: You have made an extraordinary claim. You need to provide extraordinary evidence to support it, not just toss accusations of ad-hominem attacks at anyone who points out how thin your argument is.
Estonia isn't even really considered a former SSR if I'm not mistaken. The period of time they were an SSR was mostly considered an illegal occupation, with the legitimate and recognized government being in exile. It's similar to calling Vienna, Austria a "former German city" because of the Anschluss.
I'm all for Ukraine deciding how they want to be called, but in english "the" is not that uncommon when referrening to sovereign countries, e.g. those that have "republic", "states", "lands" in their name. Similar is true for other languages - e.g. in German, "die Ukraine" just sounds a lot more natural than "Ukraine" when used in a sentence. I imagine this could be true for other languages as well and people might end up taking that habbit over to english.

It's fine to politely point it out in political discussion or discussion that is at least focused on Ukraine, but copy pasting canned responses on the mere occurence of "the Ukraine" just comes off as spammy and probably does more to antagonize than educate.
Actually, I should say explains one of the algorithms.

There is a surprisingly long list of algorithm that solves the problem.

The article goes into na vs. v but offers no explanation for why the is inappropriate. Russian doesn't have articles. There is no the in Russian. Pretending that using the Ukraine somehow compromises the sovereignty of Ukraine is ridiculous.
Essential complexity I agree, you cannot get rid of (hence the whole "essential" part). However, when you program, lots of non-essential complexity sneaks in. If you've only ever written code in one language, I bet you wouldn't even be able to notice what is essential vs non-essential.
It does count them equally and I agree it's popularity is mostly because of the free tier. From the same website, there is a graph and Cloudflare is lower for high-traffic websites than Cloudfront, Akamai and Fastly. [0] But regardless, that gives Cloudflare power over a lot of sites.

Disgusting comment. Steve Gibson is a true and independent professional with hundreds upon hundreds of hours of great and accurate video podcast content. Even when he makes a tiny mistake he comes back the next week and thoroughly corrects himself. That post is ancient and largely invalid. On top of that SQRL is in public domain with a published spec/algorithm. Stop punching the old man.
I’m happy to hear that. I used to develop for a RSC server. I remember doing completely for free and one day I got paid for it and I will never ever forget it. Thanks Brwn. Long live rsckbd!
It's been a while since I wrote this, but I seem to remember that widows are NP-hard at least: fitting them to pages maps onto box-packing.

I really implemented this algorithm so that I could nicely "flow" images in a GUI window. I was working with Sean Parent & Jaakko Järvi on Adam/Eve. My assertion was that there were layout principles (Adam?) for UI similar to the constraint properties for the object model (Eve?). The "other" layout principle was the grid-bag (CSS's box model for grids).

While I’m very sure that training on copyright protected works for
LLMs will be found fair use, General Data Protection Regulation has some real teeth. I wonder if there is a way to reliably purge a name from the model without retraining.

Another option is that operators of LLMs decide to just deny EU citizens access to their tools until they figure out a solution.
> there is no better approach to check for intercepting middleboxes

I can see some purposes for detecting middleboxes. I've done it. It usually doesn't involve DNS. It does involve certificate pinning though.

> detecting if the user has a captive portal between them and the Internet

That's easy. Try to browse to something. If succeeds but the certificate isn't valid then the user probably has a captive portal. That, or your pinned certificate has been revoked.

> detecting ... if the user's provider messes around with DNS

Certificate pinning, again, comes to the rescue. Pin a certificate to your own DoH server and then use DoH to look up whatever you need.

If you can't connect to your DoH server then you effectively aren't (or shouldn't be) connected to the internet.

OP here!

I've been obsessing over creating a high-end and unique metallic look that I feel has been sorely missing from the web. I've put quite a bit of effort into ensuring the implementation is lightweight, performant and cross-browser compatible.

Maybe Metalmorphism can bring a touch of metallic elegance to the web in 2023?

The library I've written to powers all this, called MetalliCSS, lets you turn any HTML element into a metallic looking thing by giving it a certain classname. It generates the SVG code (filters and all) on the fly and renders the raster image to a canvas element that is placed inside the element. The library will respect the dimensions, as well as the background and border-radius properties of the element, using them all as parameters for the effect (even after the first render, if anything changes, dynamically).

I love metallic stuff. I think the aesthetic is timeless and compelling. Seeing something metallic in the world always gives me pause. I remember as a child being fascinated with metallic toys and such, even the cheap plastic stuff with a faux metal coat. When I got into web development, the skeuomorphic design trend was on the rise, and I remember it fondly. I feel like I am on a personal crusade to bring back some of the charm of this bygone era.

Please let me answer any questions you may have about the implementation.
The equivalent of of std vector is an array+size+capacity field. pop_back would litterally be capacity--. resize has overhead as it needs to handle resize up as well as down.
Given how many folks use Grammarly, I just don’t think many people actually care about privacy.
As soon as Google would do that, providers would implement exceptions.
But at least you won't be part of the problem, forcing people to use Chromium.

Exercise with light dumbbells as propagated by the famous bodybuilders at the end of the 19th century (people like Prof. Attila, Sandow, Strongfort) could fit the bill. This training approach goes against many accepted truths today but it's what these people swore by.

If this sounds interesting to you at all I highly recommend David Bolton's book "The Lost Secret to a Great Body". It is very well argued. Here's an excerpt that I found intriguing:

**

The first thing you have to realise is that THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEIGHT TRAINING. THE WEIGHTS THEMSELVES ARE ONLY INCIDENTAL - IT’S WHAT YOU YOURSELF ARE DOING WITH YOUR MUSCLES THAT IS IMPORTANT.

The second thing you have to realise is that the very word “exercising” - as in the previously mentioned Mr Pope’s chapter on “The art of exercising” - was being used then in a different way to mean something totally different from what we think of as “exercising” today. For a start it was supposed to be a physical “art”.

We tend to think of proper “exercise” as something difficult and physically taxing - the man who’s just come back from a ten mile run, panting and bending over to get his breath back, his legs wobbling underneath him, has just finished his “exercise” - the person lying in a sweaty heap of exhaustion after one and a half hours hard cardio on the machines, static bike and cross trainers has just “exercised” etc... by this definition exercise is taxing on one’s system and needs recovering from.

This is not what was understood by the word exercise at the time the light dumbbell protocol was popular - that would have been “hard training” maybe or “a session of thorough physical work”. Exercise was supposed to be invigorating and enervating - to put something into your system rather than take something out of it, to build up rather than tear down.

**

Bonus: There is also a chapter how this specific type of training could help in boxing by improving your control over individual muscles and thereby making you less muscle bound.
Weird that it got through with a mistake in point 2:

> Russia believes that time is on its side. To keep the war machine going, Russia is ready [missing a 'to' here] raise the stakes. Russia seems to believe it can “bomb” Ukraine to the negotiating table.
The Mayo Clinic [0] says the recommended daily intake for adults is 38g for men or 25g for women. A little less if you're over 50.

The USDA [1] makes their calculations from a proportion of 14g fiber for each 1000kcal consumed - if you're an adult male with a healthy diet you're likely consuming around 2000-2500kcal, which puts your fiber needs at 28-35g per day.

You probably need more of it, but I'm not a doctor and even less *your* doctor, so please don't just take my word for it. :)

My idea of a social scene is people doing things with strangers such that they can be social outside their existing friend groups and make new friends.

It isn't two far-left white dudes in suits talking politics and their Hill jobs at a ground level bar in some brutalist monstrosity while ignoring everyone around them.

Yeah there are some fun and quirky things but a lot of that was hurt by COVID too.
That's why you wash egg shells destroying the natural protection layer. We don't.

Also, lots of food from the us banned there because it can be seriously unsafe for health.

No they shouldn't. Russia has played the "we must protect the Russian minority in that region" card before to justify military action. Its' the whole reason we have a war in Ukraine. Estonia must make ensure that no such pretense can exist in their country. Denying citizenship to people who don't denounce their Russian nationality and don't fully accept "becoming Estonian" is the right thing to do, IMO.
Not true.

Main requirement frequently mentioned preventing the citizenship is unwillingness to pass the language exam. Same or similar rules (understanding the language, accepting constitution, paying taxes, etc) apply in other countries, including Russia. One of the issues is that Estonia does not accept dual citizenship and Russian citizens are often not willing to give up their passport even when they have never lived there (this attitude has changed during the last year, however).

To make matters worse, some people (66k in JAN 2022) do not have citizenship, they however have a special status in Russia, making traveling there easier than with Estonian citizenship.
> Given Russia's long history of bloody invasions, I don't think this is something Americans can at all relate to.

This is something which most European countries can relate to, but they don't use it (anymore) to justify imperialism.

Incorrect. The reason fraud was rare was because of the general insistence on documentation. Court challenges were rare because people did in fact KYC.

At least based on this comment from the maintainer of the C++ NanoRanges library [0], it seems contracts (at one point) may be the intended method to bounds check:

> I actually proposed at() for std::span as part of P1024r0. It was soundly defeated in LEWG, 0|0|4|4|5.

> I wasn’t there for the meeting, but from what I understand the feeling was that contracts (which at that time seemed highly likely for ‘20) were a better way to go for bounds checking, and that we should not be throwing exceptions for programmer errors like out-of-bounds access.

No idea whether that is still the case though.

I believe that this is quite untrue. Finance is full of clever innovations that are mostly meant to make money for their creators. Because the monetary rewards are so high, it attracts some very talented people.

As just one example, you can securitize the revenues from golf courses. You can say, hey, i own six courses bringing in an average of $100m a year. I'm gonna take that $600m cash flow and sell it in an asset-backed security in order to raise money to finance the acquisition of more golf courses. Then I'm gonna tranche up those securities, because I found that I'll make more money selling 50% super safe and 50% risky than selling it as 100% middle-of-the-road risky. This example isn't really a hack anymore... it's almost the norm. But someone had to have the initial insight and then figure out if this was legal.
I don't not think that English isn't difficult to parse.

I agree completely that it's all about the code you write. You can write nice C++ that is easy to understand, easy to debug, and that you can be quite certain is bug free.

Something like Rust appears to eliminate one class of bugs, but then people still write bugs. Just look at the Rust language issue tracker on GitHub [1].

Fundamentally, you cannot get around the need for good code design. Any useful programming language will always have the ability to mishandle data.
