Thank you for that comment - it gets to the underlying feeling I didn't express.

A problem with any form of regulation of speech is that there can be speech that is abhorrent. I feel there is an underlying idea behind the strong stance on free speech, namely (to quote @elicash) "the way to address speech that feels abhorrent, that feels harmful, that literally denies the humanity of people, that one way to do that is with more speech and not less".
An obvious way to do that is to just blast noise over someone's speech. In a very absolutist's view on free speech, that works.

In a slightly more nuanced view, you would argue that heckling / making noise to drown out speech is not free speech but weaponising speech. And, you may continue to argue, weaponised speech does not deserve protection.

I would counter that in the last few years, I have seen US politicians and certain TV channels doing things with speech which -- in my view -- easily cross the bar of "weaponising speech". (Note: I am sure most of you can come up with instances of this from either side of the political divide, so I am not even going to hint at examples. Your examples work equally well as mine.)

To me, this raises the question of whether the government should step in and stop this sort of speech. That sounds terribly iffy.... major eeks! On the other hand, if not, why would we allow that while not allowing other weaponisations of speech? Are some weaponisations of speech worse than others? Feels exploitable.... Or is it because regular citizens deserve less rights than politicians? That also feels very iffy...

I'm not sure what a good answer is, nor that any country has found one. (That includes the USA.)
If we're starting from the assumption that the first key was compromised, then you're still vulnerable to MITM. The only solution is communicating the key through a different, trusted way. Which is exactly what github did - inasmuch you can trust that github.com is github.

I learnt music theory informally from 19-21 so have a "mature student" perspective

I'm not a musician but can happily converse with musicians, play basic piano and bass, as well as use any DAW

For properly learning music theory the best approach IMO is learning to grok the Piano

The layout of 88 keys and adaptability of the piano will probably always be the best way to truly understand most western music theory concepts

You can explore every major aspect of music theory (rhythm, melody and harmony) in a very deep but approachable way

Beyond sight reading I'd pick up a fake book of basic lead sheets (I personally love The Real Book)

The biggest breakthrough for me was practicing as many extended chord voicings (inverting chords that have more than three notes) so you can begin to feel what music theory concepts work in different musical contexts

Music theory are tools for the toolbox, you can augment them and create truly novel works over time
This would be the perfect choice. I developed in this in 2002. It is old tech! Wonder if aspnet webmatrix still exists (makes it even easier to build simple apps)
I don't know if you've been on a jury or closely related to a case, but you'd be right to have no faith in the system as is.

Jury nullification (what I originally argued for) can't fix the system but it sure as hell can throw a wrench in the works. The process of a case going to trial can be a nightmare, but ultimately if juries exercise their right and regularly decide a case by what they think should actually be punished in the first place we might just see less resources spent on BS charges that are arguably pushed through just to get the prosecutor a promotion.
Ah yes, the current craze of Da Vinci art exhibitions that show him humanising unconventional subjects. It's very important to be aware of this craze!
There's a narrow window for that attack. The fingerprint is only used on the first connection, for manual verification. Any later connections would check the ~/.ssh/known_hosts which has the full public key.

If you somehow can MITM an SSH connection on the first connection, you can probably use any key. Most people don't check the fingerprint.

But you are correct, computing an SSH key with a collisionwis expected to take an infeasible amount of time/energy with current understanding of crypto and available computers.
That and no more customer support to pay for. Plus, the consumer prices are probably subsidized by the massive volumes in OEM licenses and O365 subscriptions.
All I've seen pretty much can.

Each solution can be encoded as an integer, and as long as you can construct your query as "is solution less than N?", you can use binary search to solve the problem in log(n) repetitions of the query, which does not affect the complexity class.

You don't need 10,000 more data to train a model with 10,000 more parameters. You can use the same data and the model will perform better. Much better. The problem is that currently it is nearly impossible to run and train the model with more parameters.

ChatGPT has nearly 200 billion parameters. GPT-4 we don't know, there are rumors that it has 100 trillion parameters, but they are probably unfounded. In any case, we've seen how much more powerful GPT-4 is. Imagine a GPT-5 with 1 quadrillion parameters.

And then imagine that after you've trained it to some reasonable level, you "downsample" the parameters, using the SVD approach described in LoRA, and get a GPT-5 with the same 200 billion parameters as ChatGPT, but with many, many times more power, even than GPT-4.

It seems like a bad name for the concept. It implies 'essence', rather than 'embellishments'.

Completely agree with this, I am at the point in my own career where I am a part of one of these units in an organization valued at around $16B. It involves stake holders from product, c-suite, etc.

People in these groups are socially sterile in my viewpoint while working an active goal or problem and it has been a big eye-opener for me to realize that the plans within plans are actually not engineered from a position of malice, just strategic thinking. It's business warfare.
>I don’t think the existence of this tool in and of itself will scare them into behaving better - they’ll probably just try their best to work around it

This is something that can be done tastefully. But that takes skill. A boring interface is far better than a poorly done “juiced” one.

There is a broad tendency in software to jump onto whatever the big FAANG guys are doing. The trouble with this is often that they are working at a vastly bigger scale than you are, hence their solutions are vastly overfitted to your problem. So it's definitely interesting to read about this stuff but I'm sure Cargo is fine for most folks.
Such an adult insight
The other alternatives are a) fundamental system reform that takes years and needs a short term solution or b) do nothing

I wasn't arguing that jury nullification is the best or perfect answer. I simply raised that I wish more people viewed jurt duty this way. The jury is in charge in a court room. No one gets convicted criminally unless they take a deal or a jury decides it. Short of blowing up the entire system, anyone with jury duty today could do somefhing about it.

Yeah currently Copilot is way more useful than ChatGPT. That may change with plugins, we'll have to say.

Either way though, Copilot is certainly a product of the 'current AI wave' that is being compared to crypto scams above.
On the Framework laptop 13, the 3.5mm jack is built-in (not an expansion card).
And the 13” Framework has a 3.5mm jack in addition to the four expansion cards, meaning the two are neck-and-neck.

Maybe the Framework could have squeezed in some more ports if they weren’t customizable, but I prefer the flexibility.
It's so easy to blame management for these kind of things but the day to day designers have to take some responsibility too. New reddit is dreadful, literally unusable. You're telling me all that is the fault of "managers" and the people constructing the code are blameless? There could be no other way to solve the problem management set them? This "don't blame me, I'm just doing what I've been told to do" attitude stinks and the faster these passenger devs get replaced with AI the better
Awk syntax is basically what became core Javascript according to its creator [1]. Bourne shell syntax is very different so I take your comment as a frustrated reaction to the "Python obsolete" comment which must be seen in context with Python introducing itself as an awk replacement among other things (though not nearly as aggressive as Perl which use to have the a2p script to bogusly convert awk to Perl code).

This is good to know.

What is a harder challenge is how to read the comments that are on topic whilst skipping those that derail the topic with a ranty tangent or bikeshedding, usually generating a mass of less valuable comments in reply.

(I'm aware there could be irony in me posting this at a tangent but I hope it's at least close enough and not ranting or arguing about an obscure aspect)

I enjoy HN enormously, both the articles and the comments but it does seem increasingly prone to derailing that often masks a load of interesting/valuable comments.

Of course one person's side issues is another person's central issue, so this may be somewhat intractable.

The best way I've seen see far is simply to close an entire branch of comments as soon as it's clear someone is derailing and then move down, hoping that the next set stay on topic.
That implies there is a fly in all the soups.
> red and blue America have very different ideas in mind when they use the terms woke/wokeness. This renders the two groups almost unable to communicate with each other

Whichever side (or both) then have poisoned the word as it can now never be used without being divisive — intentionally or otherwise. I'm not sure there is any other recourse but to abandon the word.

I don't think that would necessarily be a horrible thing to do — the idea can still exist (although Orwell might have believed otherwise).

It is unfortunate though that forces exist that would try and poison any discussion. Perhaps going after a specific word though is an easy means to do that?
I don't remember the last time some tech company employees got together to beat someone to death and the companies mounted a defense for those employees.
The laptop pictured has a US keyboard layout, that's just how the US keyboard layout is. They also have an ISO/most-of-world keyboard layout (with options for qwerty/qwertz/azerty labelling, at least on last gen), as seen on the laptop ad in the footer (assuming the link doesn't get changed from the french site after I post that comment, if it does, just go look up the order form on an EU site)
From the outside you can't see all the Thin Blue Line flag bumper stickers or Back the Blue yard signs during BLM protests. The Republican Party hates government, but seems to love cops for some reason. Republicans don't trust the government, but they trust cops. Republicans generally think the government is wholly incompetent, but want them to practice the death penalty and immediately trust the police account of fatal shootings. If Republican distrust of government was consistent, we would be able to address the systemic issues found in many police and sheriff departments around the country. Since our legislature requires a super majority to pass bills, there is no opportunity to address this is in a way that will really make a difference. Instead, each locality has to find a way to influence their police departments individually with very little success.

I had a teacher one year in elementary school whose use of my native language was kinda bad, my mom was kinda furious that people were taken for these positions (I guess math would've been fine, but not the native language). So not sure your point holds, except for homeschooled kids if the parents can't spell they're stuck with those teachers for longer than a year. FWIW, I don't have a bone to pick with the public school system in general, although I didn't enjoy it very much in the last few years. The thing is that I doubt homeschooling (if it was allowed here) would have improved a lot.
Bespoke search engines for varying topics, with revenue generated by subscriptions and not ads. They already exist to some extent, for example searching research articles we have ncbi/google scholar. But this will be taken to the next level, with search engines for social media (reddit, hacker news), movies/tv shows (justwatch.com as a basic example).

Of course there's Kagi which imo is worth every dollar.

>>The robber Barrons of the 19th century and companies like Standard Oil needed no help from regulators to become oppressive monopolies and rent seekers.

yes, yes they in fact did. Far from being an era of laissez-faire, the late 19th century was dominated by a class of rich parasites, just like the modern economy. The freed market, without all these distortions and giveaways, is truly an equalizing force. [1]

A truly free market without subsidized security, regulation, and arbitration imposes costs on large scale aggregations of assets that quickly deplete them… It may be that libertarianism, taken to its logical conclusion, is far more egalitarian and redistributionist than we ever dreamed – not as a function of any central State, but rather due to its lack. [2]

Even in the 19th century the corporation was a legal entity chartered by the State. Corporations benefit from an arsenal of privileges, such as personhood and limited liability, which serve to set the rules of the market on terms favorable to corporate investors and managers. Obviously, limited liability is a fiat subsidy to corporate investors The imbalance of responsibility this enables cannot be underestimated, for it goes to the very heart of corporate economic behavior.

> which was given to the bankers by the customers to be held in safe custody

That simply not how banking works. Many individuals think of banking that way, and they can because FDIC insures their deposits for up to $250k. (Which for the average person might as well be infinite.) But companies are supposed to understand and manage risk better. A corporate bank account is not and has never been a black box to just dump your funds in without worry.
Can we not turn every thread into a thread about ChatGPT?
The article's simplistic and short-sighted sub-title: "The flow of arms to Ukraine has exposed a worrisome lack of production capacity in the United States that has its roots in the end of the Cold War."

Try looking back a few decades further - to when the U.S. had a large number of its own arsenals, at which the government could produce weapons and ammunition at scale. Example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Armory - which Wikipedia notes was in operation from 1777 to 1968, as the primary manufacturing center for U.S. military firearms.

If you know some history: All "A List" nations used to build and maintain entire networks of arsenals, armories, and such - because they knew that private companies weren't going to maintain excess production capacity and inventories, that war was a real thing, and that "Oops!, there's a war now, but we're really short on weapons and ammo" was a great game plan...if you wanted to become a former "A List" nation.
I really lived this once. I was an engineering manager of a team that maintained an app that was used extensively by a particular business unit. My understanding was the app was a money maker because customers contracted to have people use this (it was a BPO unit).

I was tasked with providing a demo to the new CTO and a few other execs. We had worked hard for a couple of years and really improved the app a lot. I got through the demo and.. silence, nothing. They moved on to other things. I found this to be very very odd.

I found out months later that all the revenue from the app was booked to another group, and my team was a huge drag on the org we were in. As such, our hard work was not rewarded, raises were pitiful. Most the team quit, lay offs, then I quit.

So yeah it’s good to know what’s going on.
Wall Street journal isn’t right leaning [0]. This may be a case of Overton window at work. [1]

A google search says NYT categorizes them as leaning conservative, which given the climate is like asking Russia if they think Ukraine is the bad guy.

This just further displays what the author was probably getting at, that were in different realities based on the assumptions made. To be a classic moderate of the early 2000’s is unheard of in mainstream “discussions”, yet I’d bet many adult Americans hold a moderate view.

As a society we don’t know how to handle the insane communication technology we have, and not many know how to effectively filter stuff out (I sure don’t fully know)

Sure, but laptops back then were also massively thicker and heavier so engineers had more freedom and less restrictions from the design/marketing team.

Nobody would buy a laptop with that bulk and heft today unless we're talking about these mobile workstation laptops with Xeon CPUs and Quadro GPUs.

> then forget trying to become a plumber

I think the election of "plumber" is just a saying, but I expect plumbers to be one of the safest professions. You need to make a hole in the wall, avoid the electricity wires and structural columns. The pipes inside the wall sometimes are not like the pipes in the paper blueprint, in particular when the building is old and had some fixes before you. Identify the hole, decide what to change and solder the new parts. Now cover that, and make a bad looking repair of the wall. Did I miss something? It need a lot of advancement in robotic and image recognition and other non textual AI.
Sure, but the difference is that it's now both a plausible moment to go MITM (because they got that key), and furthermore the hypothetical attacker now has good reason to believe users won't be scared by a host-key-change warning, and the hypothetical attacker would know this opportunity exists for a large set of users simultaneously. If some malicious network operator were to try and exploit users, now would be a good moment - they'd likely catch many more people in the time it takes to be discovered than on an average day.

The MITM-at-the-start risk is of course real, but I think this new everyone -restarts-simultaneously risk is qualitatively different enough to be worth at least considering.

Deutsche Bank Shares Plunge in Renewed Bout of Stress
I'm curious; why would you recommend the Nashville Number System over Roman Numerals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis)? Seems like the latter is much more widely used. Maybe I'm in a different bubble than you...
> And it just so happens that the current system we came up with - a mixed market with a strong, democratically elected public authority, yet freedom for individuals to pursue taxable profits - is the one that seems to work the best, because it pushes powerful people, both politicians and capitalists, to cater to the needs of society if they need to maintain their power. It's not an utopia, human nature has not changed and some would chain other people up tomorrow like in medieval times if they could get away with it, yet it works remarkably well.

I think the conclusion I'm coming to, at least for now, is that while that is in fact the system that we owe much of our current wealth to, it is not necessarily the system we currently live under. Yet we do have a society that likes to pretend it is still the system.
