The problem I see with anti-cheat technology is that editors are also forcing these rootkits on games that can be played solo (either solo exclusively or multiplayer games with solo campaigns).

While I can fully understand being forced to run anti-cheat technology on my PC to play online games, I find it totally unacceptable and unethical to have this kind of software forced upon me for games I exclusively play solo.

I consider myself lucky to not need to worry at all about the financial cost of my hobby, I value gaming so much that I would even pay double for some of the games I played. But installing a rootkit on my PC is out of the question. Personally, until editors accept to treat their honest customers as honest customers (at least the solo players), I will not behave "honestly" and will keep using "alternative" ways to acquire games.
When I was younger, I once had an employer (a major fast food chain) that had a document that explicitly said discussing wages with anyone but the franchise owner was forbidden. I didn't know better at the time, but that's super illegal.
The Military-Industrial Stock Buyback Complex
i thought this was a rant about how ebook sellers sell ebooks at the same price as hardcovers even though it has 0 additional cost associated with it over a paperback, let alone a hardcover, yet they mark it up just as high, as if the idea of making it cheaper for consumers to buy "more" seems stupid. Secondly, the idea that ebook libraries need to rebuy ebooks after certain lendings to mimic how physical copies would get "used"? the fuck is that

Psstt... Dividing is not associative for the reals.
I mean business logic in a very broad sense. You have your DAW and it does something. That's the abstract model. You could define what it does in a high-granularity sense (point 1), but you also need to define what it does at lower levels of granularity. What you define at those lower levels is still part of the the abstract model of the DAW. Hence it's "business logic". Whether you use a while-loop instead of a for-loop, that's not business logic but an implementation detail.

Programmers make a ton of "implementation detail" type decisions but they also make a ton of decisions that affect the abstract definition of the thing, and these I define as "business logic".

I know you're getting at the whole "oblate spheroid" shape thing, but I'm pretty sure people have known it wasn't perfectly round for way longer than that. You only need to look out a window to see hills and mountains after all (unless you live in the Netherlands ofc).

Fun fact: the actual shape of the Earth is neither a sphere nor an ellipsoid but a "geoid", literally something "shaped like the earth".
No, and very funny, but I have nothing to do with Docusign.

But you'll understand that when you make accusations on a public forum, it helps to actually have evidence of your case.

Because anybody can say anything about any company, even if it's all made up.

I've seen totally false accusations made here on HN that the moderators had to take down to prevent them from continuing reputational harm to an otherwise well-regarded startup here (had reached over 100 points).

So when I see a "don't use X company because Y" post, I tend to be a bit more suspicious now if there aren't a reasonable amount of verifiable facts provided (screenshots of problem, screenshots of support ticket responses, etc.).

A problem only too familiar to observablehq users, there are quite a few solutions

https://observablehq.com/search?query=Cors&onlyOwner=false
I think the point is that the decisions on direction shouldn't be made behind entirely closed doors by insiders. Outside input should be taken seriously, with invitation to dialogue, rather than chasing some narrowly-supported vision.

As a web developer myself, I too am baffled by the folks who don't like the Web stack, but fine.

And good points, I guess I wasn't too concrete on "unify on one approach" vs. "consider all options". So to solidify my thoughts, I do think diversity in approaches is a good thing. It would just be great if any parts could be shared so that others could iterate on the same idea.

For an example of a missed opportunity for diversity, if only React Native had originally architected itself as Reactless Native + React, we could've had equivalents for each different renderer by now (e.g. Vue Native, Angular Native) based on that Reactless Native base.

For an example of the merits of unifying on one approach, see Yoga Layout. Flexbox has proven to be an agreeable layout model, and because it's so solid (apart from where it varies from the spec, which I do grumble about) various different cross-platform projects have benefitted from unifying around it as a reliable building block.

I guess my grumbles with Yoga's spec deviations echo your distaste for the "it's a solved problem" sentiment, too. Even established solutions should be open to improvement and evolution, and I had that partially in mind when talking about being open-minded.

The whole point is that Newton came up with the law before there was observational data that could prove it, which is fundamentally different from regression. The data is used to reject the theory, not to form it, here.
Hmm, I'd say the burden of proof is on you since you're the one arguing that one common usage among many is "right" and all others are wrong.
Before going and digging into these, could you also explain what the necessary background is for this stuff to be meaningful?

In spite of having done a decent amount with neural networks, I'm a bit lost at how we suddenly got to what we're seeing now. It would be really helpful to understand the progression of things because I stepped away from this stuff for maybe 2 years and we seem to have crossed an ocean in the intervening time.

On the quote opening the article:

I had a lecturer who used to counter "if something ever seems like magic it means you're not asking enough questions."

That stuck with me, although the article goes on to counter it fairly well.
Because most of the complexity of smartphones is hidden from the user.

Meanwhile in the 80s, you had to know some command line just to run a game. If you wanted free games, you had to hand copy the code from a book. Once you learned a little bit, you were either content and kept playing the games or you wanted to learn more about how the game and the computer works.

We don't have that same barrier to entry now. That's good and bad, but that's part of why computers and smartphones are so ubiquitous now.
This seems like a narrative looking for an article. Also it was a discord server, which isn't inside a video game.

I don’t think GPT4 beats an expert yet. That’s why expectations to ask it to build a complex commercial project from scratch are not realistic.

Where it shines is up-levelling the developer in areas he is not an expert. Need to jump out of Java development and process some data in Python with a special library? It will likely be more than 10x speed up for you to ask GPT4 for help. Learning a functional language? It will send tons of best practices your way. It’s also great in translating ideas between domains, one example are your requirements to code, but also code to tests, data to SQL etc.

I’m happy with how helpful it is in exploring implementation concepts - you can discuss problems you imagine and it will improve the suggestions. A bit like a brainstom guide for you. And sometimes it will surprise you with a much simpler idea which you’ve been overthinking.

It’s really great when you don’t expect it to be perfect. It fails very often do to unclear commands (limited prompt „memory” is counter intuitively for humans limiting what can be understood - how can it not remember what you can see a bit to the top?). It will always try to do what you ask for, but if you assume it will know what you know you will be disappointed.

you dont exactly need to have it hot synced imo.

i've been running this scheme where i keep the "live" DB on my phone so any change i need to do, i do it on the phone and every often i sync or copy it to the laptop.

this has served me well for like the past 6-9 years so i guess it works. You definitely do not need an online service.

its not like passwords change like crazy. i've had entries that i only change because of stupid password reset policies (every 4 months for example), other than that, i only update the DB if i add a new entry.
Are we talking about the interval [0, 1] in R or about [0.0f, 1.0f] (the interval in the space of floats)?

I'm pretty sure that your definition of an interval is correct even when the set doesn't have a total order, but if we're talking about floats whose values are in [0, 1] in the space of real numbers, that may not include -0.0f, since floating point numbers usually represent one number in a range of real values, and -0.0f represents -epsilon where epsilon is between 0 and the real value of the smallest denorm.

Tbh, the only practical non-integers we all need (apart from science-ish pretence and graphics) are .00, .000, .0000 and .000000 decimals (money, qty, percent.00, milliqty). Literally all business and in-game accounting needs get covered by these. Even edge/rounding issues are irrelevant, because everyone is ready to just agree to either way of doing it, and that agreement is much more important than the method itself. This floating bullshit is basically of none, zero, nil practical use outside of academics.

Modern CPUs can effectively emulate whole subroutines in microcode, but somehow we got stuck with that useless binary floating point standard for numbers. And on top of that, languages provide them as a default numeric system for all new software.
The only problem is that it can't distinguish between nested if/else blocks at the type level, but it's probably fine

This part in the PDF gave me pause:

>As KeePassXC is a relatively complex program and the review effort was limited, I did not review all of the code base. Some helper features stay not reviewed, for example: TOTP, SSH agent, browser plug-in communication, auto-type, KeeShare password sharing mechanism, freedesktop integration, HIBP support, database statistics feature. Maybe these features could be a subject to a next review version.

Those integrations seem like scary weak-points, especially to the browser.. and I'm a little confused because later on he says he did review the browser extension code:

>KeePassXC supports integration with browser extensions. The communication between the password manager application and the browser extensions is implemented using secure and modern libsodium-style encryption. I personally trust this cryptography choice and salut the use of encryption to communicate with browser extensions.

Not bad for an armchair physicist. Disclaimer, my undergraduate degree was in physics but I'm not a quantum expert by any measure and my graduate work took me closer to statistical mechanics.

So for the simplest explanation for you and the parent is that as you said electrons are both particles and waves, there are experiments that we can demonstrate for that. But if you're thinking of the electron cloud then that exists partially because you aren't measuring the electron. Basically this particle(s)/wave(s) orbiting the atom can exist in a lot of different configurations at once determined by it's energy (which is influenced by its/they position and how fast it is/they are moving). For educational purposes we often treat them more exclusively as a particle (early electrodynamics) or a wave (early quantum) depending on what field we are talking about.

Of course there is greater definition I can give to what it is if we want to start talking about what protons and neutrons are made of and most of that is what occurs at the LHC. (But I'm heavily out of my depth in high energy particle physics).

The measurement uncertainty applies to some other properties as well basically your uncertainty in the electron's position (sigma_x) and uncertainty in the electron's momentum (sigma_p) are bound by sigma_p * sigma_x >= hbar/2

hbar is the reduced planck constant and sigma are statistical variance, but that condition must always hold so as sigma_x goes to 0 (you are more certain about the potential) sigma_p must get larger to compensate so you are less certain about the momentum. This measurement collapses the waveform and until enough time passes for the system to "normalize" the momentum will continue to be uncertain, after that you can measure the momentum but the position could be different too.

Somewhere in the intelligence community, a new project just received unlimited funding: join as many Discord servers (and Slack instances, and…) as possible, idle, and log everything.

Whether that requires 1,000 quietly idling accounts or 100,000 of them, there’s now enough motivation to pull it off.
Can we all just take a minute to realize how we now normalize a 10 dollar sandwich made with less than a dollar's worth of ingredients?

7-11 is the worst offender I've seen. Cheap sandwiches or salads for $8+. $3+ for a 20oz soda. No prices listed on anything. Or if they are it's only when you buy two or more.

Profiteering plain and simple.
What does it mean though to say an electron is a particle? Isn’t a particle an excitation of a quantum field? What does it mean to talk about the shape of a field?

Ya, I don't trust smart tvs not to show me ads at some point in the future, or spy on my behavior without telling me, so I don't even give my TVs my wifi password.

I'll update the firmware with a usb stick and use an Apple TV. Apple TVs are more expensive, but I feel less like I'm the product and they're popular enough and with few enough models that any major problems will be widely known.

I think attempting to solve a problem that is created by government regulations by creating more government regulations is crazy...

There should be no EV mandate, then there would not need to be consumer protections as the market would do what is does best and allow manufacturers to compete on the merits of the vehicles not by the government choosing what we should be allowed to drive.

I think there are already too many regulations on the manufacture of cars.

Keepass on pc and on android. The android saves as .kdbx files, which once saved as such, the pc reads and writes (default is .kdb files). I also use a keyfile common to both devices. Manual sync as i update irregularly.
Nothing touches a cloud, everything stays with me. My .kdbx files are steganographically encoded, and the file extension is changed.

I use cloud storage to save my .kdbx file(s).

On Linux and Windows, KeepassXC is my software of choice. On Android, I like (and have donated multiple times to) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2androi...

With the cloud storage setup (which, in my case, happens to be Google Drive), I always have the most recent version of my password safe(s) where I need them to be.

With this, my major threat exposure comprises of
* the cloud provider losing my data, letting an aggressor get hold of my (encrypted) password store(s) - and then the aggressor brute-forcing
* I myself losing my password store data to an aggressor
* I myself losing my password store credentials to an aggressor

I am explicitly not using any of the online password providers simply because they are by themselves a much too valuable target. I myself, hopefully, am not valuable (or visible) enough, and therefore am not subject to "at-scale" attack patterns.
The point is there isn't really a "thing the program should do".

If you compare to e.g. some sort of data entry or data analysis UI, you can describe the process the user is intended to follow, and that defines your "business logic".

With creative apps, this "process the user is intended to follow" doesn't exist. We're not implementing the rules of an employer or a company, we're providing open-ended workflows for people who don't know what they're doing.

It’s simple. Antimatter goes the other direction in time.

Just as you can go forwards and backwards in the X dimension. Matter can only go in one direction through time, antimatter the other.

So at the point of the Big Bang matter went on its direction through time saying buh-bye to antimatter that went in the opposite direction.

Note: I didn’t say forward and backwards because from their perspective we are the ones who went in the opposite direction.

This accounts for the lack of antimatter, the “missing mass” of the universe and why time travel (other than into the future for us) is impossible as the only way you could go in the opposite direction (the past) would be to convert yourself to antimatter which would be very very bad.

This also doesn’t mean there is an antimatter earth somewhere out there (in the other time direction so we’d never know anyway) because at the point of the Big Bang an entire series of events / interactions would have occurred. There’s no interacting link between the two times (t+1 vs t-1)

Figure out the maths for yourself…
It's humorous how incompetent US intelligence is that they give this access to a 21 year old, don't notice any data exfiltration by someone with presumably 0 technical skills, and take (weeks?) to catch the guy only after the leaks are made incredibly public.
No, it wasn't meant to, it was to refute your claim that no one was talking about it.
The experiment primarily focused on by the article was carried out on the general population of San Francisco in 1950. At the time San Francisco was 83% non-hispanic White alone. [1] The point of the Tuskegee experiment was to see if untreated syphilis affected blacks differently than whites, as was believed at the time. It was, in part, motivated by a previous experiment in Norway which had withheld treatment for white's suffering from syphilis, which formed the foundation of the modern understanding of syphilis. [2]

If it's unclear, I'm not defending or supporting any of this insanity, but emphasizing that the motivations were in no way racist. In general, if you want to learn more about the selection process for the various sociopathic experiments "we've" carried out through the years, the Wiki on MKUltra provides quite a lot of insight.
