I almost never delete things. It's a form of memory and I've definitely found it possible to go back through photos, emails and journal entries to remember what I was doing at that point. Memory is linked so it only takes a few sparks to put you back in context.

In addtion, it's increasingly looking like LLMs will need inordinate amounts of data to get it to the next level. If we want this to be personalized this will certainly mean slurping our digital lives into a format for training (let's assume you can do this locally and maintain privacy).

I'm looking forward to using these capabilities to enhance my memory, and indeed one day merge those capabilities [h+]

It was interesting to see the hardware VP9 encoder included. I’ve found it to be the best streaming format for compatibility (ignoring h264) - a single stream can be watched on all devices and browsers
The GPU architecture of Arc A770 is Xe, while the iGPU of Core i7 13700K is UHD, so they are clearly different. On the other hand, the iGPU of Ryzen 7000 is RDNA2, so it can be assumed that it has the same quality as RADEON 6000, although with a very large scale difference. Therefore, the conclusion is that the iGPU of Ryzen 7000 is the best option for having an AV1 hardware encoder that can save money for eating a lot of nice ramen.

Thoughts to minds is what songs to birds: a way to communicate a relationships between observable things. Such relationships get reduced to a set of things "inside" and everything else that's outside. The boundary must be a smooth shape, that could be arbitrarily precise if the physical medium allowed it. A mind receiving a thought sees it as a finite set of resonant frequencies, even if the thought is more complex than that. Furthermore, the ultimate receiver of the thought is brain with its finite number of neurons, and even though different frequencies get mapped to different neurons, each neuron reduces amplitudes even further by activating a chemical reaction only when its input exceeds a certain threshold. Thus a continuous amplitude gets reduced to a sequnce of 0s and 1s, or a rational number. Hence the thoughts thinkable by brain are "rational". In their own realm thoughts are more like birdsongs with infinitely many harmonics and precise amplitudes.
I would agree with that assessment — it’s applying something of a fuzzy concept to networking. Arguably it is doing it without a great explanation of how, why, and the trade offs, but then the zero trust concept itself is also still in its evolutionary phase.

Zero trust isn’t about doing it in one place, and then leaving all other doors wide open (although that is one possible realisation).

From a security standpoint, it should be about layering, and making it and based on relevant security anchors. For most people, the fact of being on an authenticated local network is a huge positive indicator. (Or more to the point, being outside of it is the indicator.) This is why, generally, home routers don’t leave the admin interface exposed to the WAN. Are we to advocate dropping the “deny WAN for /admin” rule simply because the admin GUI already has password access control?
Focus on the sellers. Customers have no choice but to shop where the vendors are comfortable selling, so your job is to make your site the best way to sell. Inventory management and updates should be smooth and painless, offer statistical information on views and sales, shipping options, payment processing, and customer service, make the direct contact between sellers and customers easy and incentivize them to close the sale using your platform by making that the easist way to proceed.

If both sides are determined to work around you, it's just a losing proposition, so get the one with something to lose on your side!

>I went in several years ago to grab an HDMI cable that was listed for ~$10 online but was marked $20 in the store. Silly that it’s even necessary, but it was easy to price match.

While I get your point, that I'd even have to compare prices online and in person from the same retailer, even if they will "price match" (which is really just ripping off anyone who wouldn't think to look for a better price from them online) is slimy as hell IMHO.
>True. It's a false idea that privatisation improves anything. Most private good and services are better because of competition, not because of the ownership.

Absolutely. So let's have competition with multiple private contractors at every airport, paid by the number of passengers who choose to use a particular contractor to go through security.

That would solve every problem, as the market will optimize for maximum passenger satisfaction at security checkpoints, especially if they can get more people through faster.

What could go wrong? /s
>If you're not even willing to make a bet for a single signed dollar, that doesn't speak highly to your confidence in your work.

I've long thought that one should have the attitude (and act to make it so) that one should be willing to bet their job on the quality of their work, but not necessarily actually do so.

And betting anyone (co-worker or not) that they can't compromise the systems (especially, but not limited to production systems) you're tasked with keeping from compromise is a bad bet -- even if you win.

I'd class that sort of behavior as having serious potential to be a "Career Limiting Move" (CLM).

I think this hard love approach to forcing people to revolt doesn't really work. Just as bringing democracy by guns didn't, as strategic bombing didn't, etc.

It takes time to build trust and alliances which is needed to then make a change.

They are quoting from the Wikipedia article you yourself suggested. You are free to suggest another source.

Wikipedia cites this article:

https://physicsworld.com/a/benfords-law-and-the-2020-us-pres...

> In a working paper published on 10 November, Mebane looks deeper at the US election data using a 2BL test, based on the second digits and Benford’s law digit probabilities, along with other statistical tools.

> The bottom line: there are no signs of irregularity in the officially declared precinct vote counts data from Fulton County, GA, Allegheny County, PA, Milwaukee, WI, and Chicago, IL, as some have claimed.

That article cites this paper:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/inapB.pdf

> The vote counts from the four jurisdictions are not final, so one should treat them cautiously. Nonetheless preliminary analysis shows little that suggests there are problems.

Presumably a more up to date source exists now that the votes are finalized. The paper also has a link to the data they used on GitHub if you'd like to see for yourself (and both this & the paper below say they downloaded it from the Secretary of State websites of each state, so presumably you could do that too if you didn't trust this random GitHub).

This paper from MITRE is interesting but doesn't use 2BL. (They don't find any evidence of fraud. They do discuss 2BL in an appendix.)

Increasing burning of natural gas might have been sensible before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Today it makes the German energy grid one of Europe most expensive grid, and the amount of subsidizes the German government is spending makes practically everything else cheap in comparison. The German government are paying their citizens bills, lower taxes and subsidize most of the construction and operational cost of fossil fuel power plants. Just because the government is paying the bill does not make it cheap. How many more winters with government bailouts can people take before enough is enough?

Germany is not going to reach the European climate goals if they continue with building new natural gas power plants. They will also not reach the Paris agreement. It is "a bad thing" to continue burning fossil fuels!

There is a lot of technology that exists and future tech that they could be using. The German has instead chosen to use fossil fuels. If we are discussing what they could be doing, what they could make a political decision that when they ban production of new fossil fuel cars they also ban the construction of new fossil fuel power plants. This would be much more real than politician talking about solar and wind while at the same time building tons of natural gas power plants in the backyard.

He makes a convincing point in favor of swearing in this section:

The Motives for Swearing

Swearing is a hammer used to drive many nails. Different types are used by different people for different reasons. People swear:

In imitation, because those around them swore when they were growing up, and humans learn by mimicry.
To fit in among peers (or people they admire) who swear.
To stick out in a culture that proscribes swearing; to sound edgy and contemporary, feel like they’re ‘living dangerously’, and experience the thrill of breaking taboos. (A subset of this: people who like to perform and play the clown often combine swearing with overstatement or ridiculousness for comedic shock value.)
To blow off steam (especially as a single-word expletive when something goes wrong).
To pack an emotional punch and vent feelings about a particular person or thing, either directly at the target of the feelings, or to a third party.
To buy time. Swear words can be used as filler (the way people use “um”, “uh”, and “like”), buying extra time while also sounding edgy.
By habit, because by now they’ve been swearing for so long it’s become ingrained.
The lack of namespacing in Rust is so weird. The discussion has been going for years, but it makes zero sense to me that after seeing issues npm and pypi faced during the past decade Rust is still pushing back against a more structured registry structure. Squatting will become more and more problematic the longer this flat registry approach persists.
In fact the Android monopoly is slightly better because you can choose to avoid using Google services and use the open source version of Android instead.

love getting down voted for sharing joy in mutual overlapping discovery. This happens all the time in science and in math... I was using these sort of constructs for information theoretic explorations that attempted to extend physical laws to new domains. To put it loosely I was attempting to find a simpler explanation for some of our understanding of fundamental physics. Some of it stuck, some of it sucked. It was a lot of fun though
This is perhaps the only HN post where I can say this and maybe not be downvoted:

It's not necessarily slower. It really depends on the connectivity of the VPN hub.

At my previous company our VPN server was on a VERY good network, including InterNAP traffic optimizers.

One of our employees ran some testing of it and found that in most cases going over the VPN was faster than natively using his Comcast connection. Comcast would tend to route the traffic over their own network links as much as possible.

In the case of the VPN server, it was well enough connected that Comcast could get to it quickly, and the good connectivity it had (largely thanks to Level-3, but the InterNAP optimizer would help it pick great connections in any case), would get it to the final destination faster than Comcast's network could.
Damn, that's a shame. I contacted nuget just a few minutes ago to reserve a name for packages I want to publish. Hope they will consider it :(

Sometimes it's the character itself that makes the difference though. Especially in cases where you're dealing with satire involving a figure from our shared culture, but also in the case of works where the artist is drawing from the history of the character and fictional universe they exist in. Sometimes the artist can't just swap out the IP with a generic character and still have the effect they were going for.

The difference is that AMD is making CPU’s that are competitive with Intel on a cost-performance basis. It doesn’t make any sense to blame this on the consumer when it’s a case of the producer failing to compete.

The Python community dislikes putting fast-changing things in the stdlib, because being in the stdlib slows down the development, and ties any improvements to upgrading Python.

(This is also why there is no good HTTP client library in the stdlib, even though the popular `requests` library gets new releases every 6 months with minor fixes only)
> When performance matters, stored procedures are the way to go, not wasting network traffic and CPU cycles on the client, As it so happens, these additional runtimes are great and safer way to extend PL/SQL, pg/SQL, T-SQL,... than writing C extensions.

While I agree in principle, in practice to me it feels like the tooling just isn't there.

Testing and debugging is a bit more difficult than with other languages (e.g. even using breakpoints and stepping through code), things like logging typically don't have pleasant implementations (e.g. log shipping), the discoverability and even version control of the code also tend to be worse, among other things. That's even before you get into building around the particular runtime that you're provided with, trying to get a grip on dependency/package management, automated CI deploys, rollbacks, monitoring/health checks, local development environments and so on.

My experiences might be the opposite of some folks, but I recall working on a system where most of the logic was implemented in the database packages and something like Java was used just as a glorified templating solution to serve a webapp. The performance was great, but actually working with the codebase was an utter nightmare, so it's not worth it in my opinion. That's like choosing to write a webapp in Assembly just because it's faster.

For example, look at the JetBrains survey, where they asked some questions about databases: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/databases/

Do you debug stored procedures?
47% Never
44% Rarely
9% Frequently

Do you have tests in your database?
70% No
15% I don't know
14% Yes

Do you keep your database scripts in a version control system?
54% Yes
37% No
9% I don't know

Do you write comments for the database objects?
49% No
27% Yes, for many types of objects
24% Yes, only for tables

If half the people don't debug their code, three quarters don't test their code, almost half don't use version control and about half don't bother writing comments of any sort, that's the kind of code that I don't want to be working with and would advise others against going for that approach. While we can talk about the fact that these things can be done, the fact that they're not, is evidence enough that the community just isn't there yet.

Use databases for what they're good at (including some in-database processing, like reporting), but don't try to do everything in them.
From the article:

> Now nostalgic gaming brands like MapleStory, Neopets, and Atari are still trying to promote their blockchain initiatives [..]

I'm not familiar with the history of MapleStory but Neopets was infamously sold off at the time and the only thing classic about Atari at this point is the name since it has been bought and sold numerous times since the classic period the name evokes.

So I guess at least as far as these two names are concerned the obvious answer is "because people are sitting on those famous brand names they bought and still trying to figure out how to milk their nostalgia for money". In other words, they were a perfect match for the NFT cashgrab period and the companies owning those brands aren't willing to give up on that opportunity yet.

Framing this as "classic gaming names [..] going in on the blockchain" evokes the idea of long-standing companies or even former giants turned underdogs seeing some kind of technological merit in the blockchain when instead it seems more like investors bought some IP and are desperate to find new ways to milk it. Of course in a way Neopets was the original ape NFT collection, just without the rampant money laundering and speculative investment ponzi scheme.

EDIT: Looks like MapleStory is a pay-to-win/pay-to-play MMO so it's literally built around milking people for cash. So their motivation is pretty clear, too. None of these examples demonstrate any usefulness in blockchain (regardless of whether any such usefulness has been demonstrated elsewhere) beyond trying to get people to spend money.
I disagree that is has little effect. The way we communicate is a central and essential aspect of us as a species. Even the little nods and the dog whistles matter. A dominate culture policing it's norm of communication onto another because the dominate one believes due to it being the prominent one it is thus superior leads to damaging and loss of cultural diversity and communication and perpetuates societal disunity and segregation.

Viewing swearing as "dumb" and thus people who swear are "dumb" is a really easy way to openly okay associating a whole group of people that may swear often as "dumb" or to selectively apply that standard to them.

You yourself are perfectly free to choose whatever words you would like to use;
I am perfectly free to find language policing and censoring repugnant.

> But I find that overuse of swearing usually detracts from a conversation

A reasonable concern. But don’t get carried away. We don’t need under use either!

When my kids were young I told then that swear words were not inherently bad, but needed to be used appropriately.

And I told them I couldn’t let them use them because they were not ready for that nuance, but also culturally, young children swearing was not a path to youthful success.

One day driving two of them through town, my son mentioned that one of his friends said a bad word.

I asked him which one, and he said “You know … fuh…!”

He got his meaning across, and I was about to so “oh, ok” when his sister blurted out “kuh!”

My son looked at her with surprise and admiration, and proceeded to exclaim “fuh” again, followed by his sister in what became an instant chanting game.

I had to use my outdoor voice to get them to stop.

My son pleaded with me. “We aren’t actually saying it, Dad!”

But I told them I couldn’t allow it.

He cried! I think he was four. I tried to be serious and empathetic. But no loop holes.
I wish there would be a setting that the mouse works normal when locked, but would scroll one pixel at a time when unlocked. It feels very unnatural to scroll with an unlocked mousewheel and not scroll when doing small adjustments.
I see. I read the PR you linked and have to partially agree. Yes the maintainer's reaction was rude and seemed much like an overreaction. However the original comment could also be seen as offensive and lecturing.

I don't want to defend phone-home mechanisms because I am personally not a fan but an update check really is different from surveillance. I in general agree with the comment that the feature should be opt-in but the argument was not presented in a good way.
1. Other gaming platforms could add support to interface with it.

2. It's not the same. With these you actually own the NFT and won't lose it if game itself goes away and they stop supporting it. These virtual items will last forever.

3. The NFT part of games isn't about fun. The technology behind a game isn't just what makes the game fun. A game needing to be good will always be a problem.
