I don't get this point. You realize how many civilians would've died if a land invasion happened? The war was so bloody, and so intense that it is completely insane to expect the US to not only launch an extremely costly invasion thay would destroy Japan, but also lose hundreds of thousands of its own soldiers in the process. And yeah I know the argument was that japan was about to surrender anyways (which is just not true even then), but that's complete hindsight even if it was true.

It's also awfully convenient, and quite the coincidence that the Japanese state went from absolutely unwilling to surrender and still preparing for a fight until the end to willing to surrender on the Allies terms right when the nukes were dropped... but would've done so anyways?

Do you also think the russians shouldn't have bombed berlin when they were engaged in the extremely intense battle there? Or that the US shouldn't have bombed Germany at all? I guess you might say yes but that's also because you don't have to then send your own troops to a certain death.
This is an awfully biased and inaccurate source of what these models can do and what they will probably be able to do. HN is not full of experts here. It's fanboys.
People nowadays think "monopolistic" is a synonym for "something I don't like."
> O_APPEND is just redundant (because by definition if you truncate the file you're writing at its end).

No, O_APPEND is not redundant with O_TRUNC. When you use O_APPEND, you also have the extra behavior that every write goes to the end of the file, instead of the current position; this is important when more than one process is writing to the same file.
You don't, at least for me, I have 5700 followers and most posts (with art) only see 200-500 impressions, whereas a year ago I was getting 3000 on average. The Following tab is clearly (at least for me) not in timeline order, so most of my followers never even know I posted anything. Since I post art most of my followers are artists, so you would think they would see them. Impressions (which are Twitter putting tweets in a timeline so that people scroll by them) are not under the control of the poster. Likes per impression for me are up, so interaction is higher which is supposed to increase how often tweets are shown, but only timely retweets seem to help any.

I am trying to figure out how the algorithm decides on what to show in the Following tab, but the code is way too big to analyze without being able to run it and look at logging/metrics/stats.
I have sympathy. It's hard to write fundamental APIs. They need to grow and change like anything else, always at the risk of startling somebody.

Years ago I extended a network file system server to include additional information in an Open response (revision tag to enable distributed caching). Turns out a customer had also extended the server response in their builds, to do something else security-related. Our release startled them, resulting in a lawsuit.

It was all silly and fixed in a patch (a boot config file enable/disable of our new extended info) and it went away. But it underlines how with the best of intentions, still things go wrong.
The article is about ultrasonic sounds though. And the stresses they describe were not that they tapped on them.

You'd at least need to check checksums of all of them post-copy and preferably store it in error-resistant (RAID5/6 or other error correction) way. Else you might just be copying the errors that sneak in. It might not even be the source hard drive producing it just transient bit flip in RAM
I highly doubt this was truly written by a 14 year old. Perhaps someone fudged their age to try and make the content go viral? The GitHub profile is 3 weeks old but it's clear this ain't his first GH profile, and there are commits for SEO optimization! The English skill alone seems too advanced for that age level.

Maybe he really is a genius but I've become far more cynical in recent years, don't believe everything on the internet! By the way, I'm 12 years old.
The brand died to me after they stopped making Buffalo Chicken flavor pizza rolls.
There is literally a graph I linked, and several other in his twitter thread, that show you are not correct. The difference is caused by deaths in all age groups, throughout every age bracket until about 79. Obviously infant mortality rates in the US, which are higher than elsewhere mainly due to poor prenatal care, have the biggest impact on a per-person basis. But we can see that it does not add up to explaining away 74% of all deaths in the US as insignificant (CDC link indicates top 10 causes make up 75% of all deaths), simply because even though the difference is greater in younger age groups, the absolute number of deaths is still too low to completely change the statistics. It certainly has a measurable impact. About 1/3 of the difference, as I said.
I got tired of it the first time I got one, yet these hell devices are still everywhere.
Nah you’re referring to the top article in the politics category.

I’m referring to the top article in the general category:

It’s nothing to do with life hacks… just a thinly veiled excuse to write about a current hot topic that gets clicks.
I think the object, ideally, is to meet a person you like so much that the problems and sacrifices that a (active, committed) relationship entails are worth it.

To be suckered into soul-draining bad relationships on the pretenses of imaginary friends in the sky that told you to do it sounds hellish.
All day long, every day, the news media attempts to gin up more wars. They foster ignorance, fear, and hatred. Foreign leaders who haven't been in the news for years are made the primary focus overnight, just because that's where we're supposed to bomb next. Not all of us can even imagine why we should fight people in other hemispheres who've never done anything to us, so our fear and hatred lands closer to home. That's a big reason we have such tyrannical prison sentences.

If we didn't have a gigantic military that spends over a trillion dollars a year on the purchase of armaments, our armaments manufacturers would have less money to make our news media insane.
Definitely Raph is very much into Rust.
Exactly. These were foods for US "latchkey kids" in the 1970s and 1980s, not "midcentury" (think Mad Men early 1960s) foods. During this time the rise of having two working parents (or because of rising divorce rates, a single working parent) combined with inflexibility of employers to allow "flex time" as they often do today, meant that many children often had to prepare their own meals. So simple frozen foods were common as even a grade school child could prepare them.

Amazing level of cynicism for a 12 year old, I'm impressed.

If the “normal way” of doing things worked then Twitter wouldn’t have been in such a bad state when he took over in the first place. An unconventional approach brings more risk but can also end up being worth it.

Would I do things differently if it were up to me? Sure, but it isn’t, and I can at least appreciate that they are trying to move quickly & try different things. I’m reserving my judgement for whether or not this approach works in the long run.

I agree, but this explains to me why Lifehacker disappeared from the top nav of the other Gizmodo sites a couple of days ago.
I did something similar: made a very small partition on a USB drive and assigned it a drive letter, then tried to install in there. It didn't work because it's the variable that is bigger, not its contents, so whatever value it contains it still overflows the one expected. Short of patching the relevant WINE code (which I don't even know where to start looking for) A XP VM might be the last resort. The software once installed works fine as I experienced by moving to Linux a very old XP install I had on a backup.
Google could have (and many expected them to) eat Amazon's lunch for cloud compute back when it was new. However, Amazon actually had infrastructure around customer support while Google famously really doesn't. From what I gather Google cloud is technologically better, but no one wants to use a cloud from someone who doesn't do customer support as well.
Hi there! I wish I could claim that I wrote the Makefiles, but my knowledge of C is very limited and all the credit for that goes to xyzz, who created the original exploit intended for Amazon kindles. I simply created a fork that would work with the echo using the same CPU, the original code is here: https://github.com/xyzz/amonet

I've used it for many years. About 18 months ago had a complete motherboard failure on a MBP and had to restore a bit over 2TB to a new computer. I used the "mail me a drive" option and it worked fine. Only challenge was that it took about 1 week for them to create the disk from their backups.

> Nobody expected the United States to specifically target tens of thousands of innocent civilians instead of military targets in a single sweep.

Yea they did. The US had already bombed most big cities killing hundreds of thousands. The other cities were actively preparing for the same to happen.
I don’t remember the specifics but I think there was a case where they accidentally amplified his tweets too much and they did reverse that change. He tweeted about it but I think it was a couple months back so it would take a bit to find.

They wouldn't though.

The Lagrange points are stable positions relative to two bodies, like the earth and the moon or the earth and the sun. But those things are moving, orbiting. The points move with them. The line from the earth to any Lagrange point won't stay stably pointing at any star in the sky.

And even then, the focal point of this atmospheric lens is at a specific distance that is not, afaik, the distance to any Lagrange point.
Of course they should. There’s lots of people out there who watch their movies on TV with the built-in speakers, or on their tablet or laptop. A TV mix used to be normal, not everybody has the money, space, or desire for a dedicated movie room with an Atmos setup.

It used to be incredibly difficult for me to edit 4K footage on my computer. What’s your point? How does that undermine what young editors are doing now with 4K and beyond?

I don't know how true that was in 1940. My understanding is that much of that sprawl developed as they rebuilt all the cities that had been bombed.

The crack epidemic in the 80s wasn't fentanyl. Whatever its divergent chemical properties, I'd rather address the reason people start using it in the first place. If we don't fix that, then even a magic rehab pill that instantly cures addiction won't have any meaningful impact.

As for "poverty and lack of opportunity" not being a new thing, no shit. But we've seen a hollowing out of the middle class over the past few decades. So a lot of newly impoverished people who grew up middle class, or are else seeing their quality of life decline through no fault of their own. That is relatively new on the scale that we're seeing it.

And I say this as someone who's immediate family has had some past issues with fentanyl addiction, so it's anecdotal, but I'm hardly just speaking from my armchair here.

So this sort of thing never really made much sense to me, because you could emulate this entire thing on a raspberry pi for significantly less than $500. Can anyone who is enthusiastic about this explain the appeal?
It didn't, it was just another bombing raid among many as far as the Japanese government was concerned. It was the entry of the USSR into the war against Japan that ended the war (Japan had been hoping that the USSR would act as a go-between to negotiate peace until that point).

There is little proof that the "enterprise" expensive ones are that much more durable, let alone for the price. Enterprise ones usually have some better power off protection and some more spare flash for write endurance but that's about it. Hell, we just had 2 of the enterprise intel ones outright die in last month (out of lot of ~30), at 98% life left!

On spinning rust there is practically no difference on reliability (assuming you buy drives designed for 24/7 not some green shit), just that you can attach SAS to it. We got stacks of dead drives to prove it.

That the flash is the same but strapped to different controller.

And if you truly care about your data you want redundancy, not more expensive storage. Put saved money into getting your home server with ECC memory(in home) or having one extra node or hot spare (in work).

I was tricked by a machine yesterday. I had to call up the bank because their online banking website had booted me out.

After only a couple of rings, and no hold music, I was straight through to a person! This is unprecedented. The call was something like:

"Hi, you're through to foobank. How can I help you today?"

"Hi, your online banking has locked me out and said I need to call this number to get my account re-enabled."

"No problem. What message do you get when you try to login?"

"Oh, I haven't actually tried to login again, I can try if you want. It just kicked me out and said my account was locked and I need to call to get it re-enabled".

"No problem. If you click the 'reset my password' button under the login form, you'll be able to reset your password."

"I'm not sure that's going to work, but I'll give it a try. It definitely said my account was locked and I need to call to get it re-enabled."

"No problem. If you click the 'reset my password' button under the login form, you'll be able to reset your password."

"...are you a machine?"

"I'm Ava (edit: maybe Ada[0]?), a virtual assistant. Would you like me to put you through to a member of staff?"

"Yes please".

And only then did I get to spend 10 minutes listening to hold music and ads, before a member of staff actually unlocked my account.

I felt stupid and deceived.

The best you can do is have a PSK per mac address.

Hostapd which manages the encryption of wifi access point in pretty much all wireless aps already supports it. You can supply a list of mac address to psk or obtain the psk from radius server. The mac address is provided as the username, all your need to do is return a different psk depending on the mac address. I have POC code lying around I should probably publish somewhere.

Like pointed in sibling comments, it is pretty trivial to clone a mac address so if you were to dump a "unique" psk, all you need is the mac address that goes with it.

What it does gain you though and that is a big plus in some situations, is the ability to revoke a single psk without having to reconfigure all your client devices. That is very useful.

The onboarding is a little bit wacky though. You need an easy way to get the client mac address, generate a unique psk for it, save that in your config, then attempt connection....

One way I would like to explore is have a "next available psk" easily available, for example in an app available to the network administrator. When hostapd asks for the psk associated with unknown/never seen before mac, return that default PSK and save it as associated with that mac on succesful connection, then regenerate a new default PSK for the next device.

This way, an admin can share the password or onboard new devices easily. You don't need to know the mac address of the client in advance.

If you need to revoke access for a device, just revoke the psk that was associated with it.

We raise our own chickens for meat, my young kids help. They eat meat.

I don’t understand why you think lovingly care and raising your own meat would make you a vegan? We use these moments to teach respect and gratefulness even for animals we are about to slaughter, but not in a pagan pantheistic way.

And what symbols it has, it reuses them wisely.

The square brackets alone make it a winner. Array, list and strings indexing. Dictionary lookups. Slices and substrings. List comprehensions. The notations convenience of this alone is immense.

Built in list, string, and dicts. For the 90% of code that is not performance critical, this is a godsend. Just looking at the c++ syntax for this makes me never want to use a stl data structure for anything trivial.
