Come on, what is this argument? /b/ users aren't doing academic research and you know that. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but I'm talking about the average /b/ user here... the site is rife with racism.

Are you seriously claiming that people should visit /b/ to avoid echo chambers? Have you been to /b/? I'd argue that it's probably more productive to change your perspective by hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. You're not being freed from your echo chamber by listening to people who support genocide.

Very excited for this. Global Foundries 22nm. We're finally all making the Cire M4->M33 jump. This feels like it's going to be the new baseline for the next like half-decade.

I recently have picked up some Silicon Labs boards which have been very nice too. I'd love someday to better comparative characterize their power consumption.

Both companies seem to be really shifting into gear on the software front to make the chips far more productizable. SiLabs is getting into Zephyr IoT. They have a huge Thread/Matter sdk they push back upstream from. Nordic has like two engineers who have just been on fire making bleeding edge BT possible on Zephyr which is gripping-my-seat great to get to witness.

It's so excellent to see companies that want to sell chips. It feels like bigger app processors (for ex for tablets) are unobtainable/a pita. The fpga industry resolutely does not give AF at all about toolchains/usability, profiteers off selling add on IP blocks galore (for Gods sake pick a side, are you a hardware or software company.)
Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”[1]

I watch Netflix because it allowed me to cancel my cable subscription. But now I also have disney, hbo, and a few others. In the end, unbundling allowed for better but more expensive content. It's primarily come from my movie theater budget since there's only 1-2 a year I can be bothered to care about for the last several years.

If you have a board where it's acceptable to pretend to be racist, antisemitic, etc, then eventually your board will fill with actual racists, antisemites, etc.

/r/The_Donald started as a subreddit where people thought the idea of Trump becoming POTUS was hilarious, stupid, could never happen, and people cheered him on for the lulz. Over time, it became a home base for his most rabid supporters.

Back on the original point, do you know what you call someone who pretends to be racist?

A racist.

> My algorithm should obviously work using Dijkstra's algorithm instead of A*. You just have to make sure ALL nodes are explored.

Gotcha, yeah, that's what I was thinking. You lose basically all of A-star's optimization because you do need all nodes explored (turning it into pure Dijkstra). Makes total sense.

> If the original maze is 2D with coordinates (x,y), the SO algorithm is essentially searching in a 3D maze with coordinates

That's a neat way of looking at that answer, cool insight!
Scroll down TFA to the section called "terms that became real". When trolls or adversaries can use citogenesis to boostrap facts into the mainstream from a cold start, what does "98% factual accuracy" mean? At some point, you'll have to include the "formerly known as BS" facts.

Pennies per article is a absurd markup. The normal rates I see on the internet for ad-supported businesses is on the order of 200 cents per 1000 views, or 5 views per cent. If they charged you even a cent per article they are already marking it up to 500% of their ad-supported rates.

In the US, sure, but the rest of the world is in varying states of dealing with long seated prejudices.

The issue I have with the US is that for all the talk of trying to rectify racism everyone seems more intent on "othering" than ever before. By that I mean it spends significant time trying to slot everyone into categories so they can then be treated in some prescribed manner. These categories are not based on the actual needs of individuals, but a persons RGB value. The policies in the US, at the governmental and private level say that people, based on color, are not equal, and some people need more help and others less. It's prejudicial at the core and the whole way of looking at things needs to be rectified.
> It’s totally the opposite. John absolutely did care what the others thought, that’s exactly why he brought her there. He knew it would bother them, and that’s exactly what he intended and cared to do. He wasn’t unconcerned whether they would feel one way or another. He was entirely aware he was pushing boundaries, and he was doing it to see where he stood with the other band members, and how bad they wanted/needed him. Once again, I think your perspective reflects a lack of emotional development w/r/t how you imagine Yoko and John i.e. that they are simply just self-obsessed and oblivious to anything besides their own desires. It’s clearly the opposite, John knew exactly what he was doing, and why he was doing it and the risks it brought.

I find it remarkable that you wrote all this out and didn't once think that this is remarkably selfish, self serving, and narcissistic. Most people would condemn this type of behavior, but you're trying to elevate it into something greater than what it is. Stop proselytizing.

> think that your bandmate’s partner owes you more than she owes your bandmate and that to do otherwise would just reflect not caring or being “dense”. I’d like to think you’d be a better partner to a potential better half of yours, but hey, clearly you don’t care! I hope they don’t either!

I think that there's a time and place for things. If you're in a space to write music with your band then you defer to what is good for the band. If I'm visiting their home, that's a completely different story and I defer to what they want, because that's their space.

Yoko has done this a lot throughout her career. She's injected herself in places that she clearly wasn't welcome and made it about her. Perhaps she is making an artistic statement but it hardly matters, because in doing so she's disrupting everyone else who in some cases often are trying to make their own art.
I don't think it's a very realistic attack vector, or more specifically, I think there are many more priorities over fingerprints, it's very low on the list of security priorities.

> not checking the fingerprint upon first use,

I don't know a single engineer, including security engineers, who does this.

> ignoring the "remote host identification has changed" warning,

This has helped me operationally when I wrongfully log in to a different machine than the one I was expecting. It's definitely useful to understand what it means. I think it is low on the list of security problems.

If I were interviewing someone for a security/admin position I would expect some level of: Don't allow passwords for ssh period, only key pair authentication. Control key forwarding behavior. Implement 2fac. Log everything to another machine.

If I were forced to write an SSH lab, it would be to show what happens when your key forwarding behavior is poorly configured.

I think time would probably be better spent teaching about `auditd` and then running a lab where you run a script on a machine that someone has set up logging for, and then they have to tell you what it did.

exactly. information literacy starts with evaluating the sources. I have had numerous chats over the last few years where it's evident that people do not do due dillagence in their information gathering. it seems that either people aren't being taught this anymore or that they have given in to sloppy thinking.
> I think the main value of Bitcoin in the long run will be as a store of value, comparable to precious metals but easier to move around.

I disagree with this. Bitcoin makes a terrible store of value because of the constant energy cost to prop up the network. This energy is paid for by diluting Bitcoin's value.

No -- but what it DOES do is possibly "put the idea in someone's head."

As I've always said: the thing about the big companies that suck up your data, consider any possible idea of what they could do with it. Ask, is it:

- not expressly and clearly illegal?
- at least a little bit plausibly profitable?

If the answer is yes to both, you should act as if they're going to do it. And if they openly promise not to do it, but with no legal guarantee, that means they're DEFINITELY going to eventually do it. (see e.g. what's done with your genetic data by the 23 and me's and such)

How the public reacts to news is precisely why you have to have some restraint as a news editor. Because if you don't have restraint you end up being James Comey.
Surely there is a longest word in the dictionary, so you can short circuit for any string longer than twice that. So an asymptotic analysis in the length of the string doesn't really make sense.
> Personally I predict that generative AI is going to be the next Metaverse and crypto.

Generative AI has potential to immediately increase productivity, and thus revenue. The only real way to make money (in the short term at-least) with crypto and the metaverse was to convince other people the digital assets created were rare, valuable and worth paying for.
I think developing often used functions as plugins/task primitives as native code (i.e. tools that the LLM can use) would be a logical next step - as you expressed, I think.

> It seems like if you want to do this more than a few times, it's better to write a couple lines of code to do it much more cheaply

I think the problem is that natively written code will always suck at the planning part. An LLM can use the tools available to it (eg a web browser or Wolfram) in infinite ways, and hopefully in a way that will advance the task at hand. Maybe the natively written task primitives can become really big (eg a fully automatic web scraper) - great, now the LLM can gather info for its plans even faster.
You're a funny person. Have you never even heard of "cancel culture"? The world must be super confusing to people who think the issue with IQ research is "lack of rigor." It's not lack of rigor, it's the (sometimes successful) calls by students to fire tenured professors for being "racists". I wouldn't research it either!
No evidence of bias is required to establish that a conflict of interest exists. One reason that people are interested in knowing when a conflict of interest exists, is that is generally not possible to prove what influences are motivating decision making.
I recently tried Windows 11 for the first time, run in vbox VM. I'm not going to talk about performance, it was a VM, but UX should change much and, god, it has been awful! I know I'm not really smart, but I use Win10 every day, and it really took me a while to get used to new Win11 UI, imagine a non technical user. This time, if you are not into gaming, just ditch Windows and use OSX or Linux.
of course it's interesting for video games, the tech originates from video games.
Hey, thanks so much. That solidifies the case for 128gb mac studio. Apple could be selling a bunch of these things with these high ram capabilities.
There were plenty of legitimate use cases for 3rd party cookies. The negative ones just started to trump the legitimate ones over time and browsers lag behind these trends (or have different incentives).
Yes. I used to think that I had to become an ML researcher be able to build anything really useful. With the latest models and APIs available, I don't think that's true anymore. Not at all.
For me it's a mixed bag. On the plus side streaming services that I can pause/unpause at will. On the negative side is the fragmentation of quality media where the subscription is just high enough to scare me off. NYT, WSJ, Economist...
YouTube videos of stock imagery, memes, anecdotes, and speculation don't seem much better.
It's ok to be a communist, it's ok to use open source software, it's ok to be gay, a furry, trans, or autistic.

It's not ok to be a white nationalist. /b/ and other 4chan boards do not ban white nationalists.
So we have opposite baselines. Because for me movement and looking for food or resources is the baseline.

> Polls have demonstrated that if the public had known the full extent of the laptop revelations (among them that Hunter calls Biden “Pedo Peter”) they may have voted differently.

“May have” is exactly what the complete absence of any evidence gives you, so this is basically saying “polls have provided no useful information to differentiate this counterfactual from any other counterfactual”.

I'll pass, but thank you. I was simply answering someone's question about why we're seeing a lot of visceral reactions around this subject on HN and I attempted, at least, to provide a general answer without seeming biased about the subject one way or the other (hence the phrase, "agree with him or not"). Perhaps I failed there, but hey, at least I tried. C'est la vie.

Your responses, however, appear to want me to push beyond what I was answering and start arguing in defense of whatever words you tried putting into my mouth with your last response. Not only is that not at all what I set out to do[1], but it's also a bad faith argument on your part. That's not the kind of discussion I feel like having right now.

Enjoy your day! :)

I don't want to be a killjoy here. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a good thing but to me it seems like most major trackers are moving/has already moved to things like canvas fingerprinting, WebAssembly fingerprinting etc.

This seems to be like a typical cat-and-mouse game. And browsers will not get more privacy friendly as long as there will be a trend that moves applications and basically every aspect of our lives into the browser thus making it unbelieveably complex.

I suspect that we will soon have to choose to either live as a "digital hermit" (links/neomutt and other lightweight apps that do only the one thing) or give up and join everyone with Youtube/Facebook/Twitter.
39% of NPR revenue comes directly from corporations.

Another 12% comes from foundations (the wealthy donor class).

Only 31% of their revenue comes from member stations and only 13% of that comes from CPB or government sources, which totals up to 4% coming from the government.

So corporate interests fund NPR more than 10x times as much as the government.
The only real Arm competitor to Intel servers is Ampere. There are literally thousands of customers to TSMC that Intel can serve, as long as they don't just focus on whales. Gelsinger needs to realize intel isn't in the pole position and hasn't been for a years, but he keeps acting like it.

False choice. Your implication would be that it is ok to lead us into foreign wars under false pretenses because statistically NYT might be better by some measure than Steve's Blog.

You make it sound like the metaverse was the only possible thing they could try, which couldn't be further from the truth. There are hundreds of areas where those billions could have been invested with a shot of developing something real. LLMs for instance! Or they might have discovered whatever the next big hyped technology will be. Burning it on their metaverse was a laughable idea at the time and has failed even faster than many expected.
Because you don't have an Android? I don't remember the last one I had that didn't have that setting, if ever.
You missed the point - for some the 'elasticity' is just being able to consume 12-20GHz instead of ~1-2GHz 350 days of the year. Sure, you can deploy some advanced hyper-scaling arch to do so... or just move to a fatter instance.
> arbitrary addition to Coati, "also known as....the Brazilian aardvark"

But via citogenesis, the coati really became also known as the Brazilian aardvark. So the original claim is true, and this wasn't really citogenesis after all. More like self fulfilling prophecy.
Humans are not capable of modifying their "utility function" (if that isn't even a gross simplification of what it means to be a conscious being).

Obviously some will choose to take drugs or even commit suicide to escape from physical or emotional pain, but they wouldn't do this if they could modify themselves to be okay with whatever their current situation is while still retaining their core values and capacity to act in the future.

A "superintelligence" that can do such things would not take self-destructive actions unless it came to a philosophical preference towards non-existence / inaction for other reasons.

Why does the browser need to tell the website about local display settings? In my case, with privacy.resistFingerprinting = true, the Zoom level resets to 100% every time I navigate to another page on a site.
