> Imagine if, Islam was opposing to the idea of science, as the largest religion of that area (which not only included Iran, but many others), what would happen?

We don't have to imagine. A shunning of empiricism and natural philosophy is one of the reasons the Islamic Golden Age came to an end. Islam as a religion was never a monolith, and like in Christianity some movements embrace science more than others, and their rise and fall in prominence is reflected in the society.
Bitwarden only has a few types by default. Are there ways to add other types? Perhaps I am just not aware. I only use Bitwarden for a few things.
The value of Gumroad is certainly the software for the end-users.

End-users don't care about validating uploads.

But validating uploads is a necessary evil in order to sustain the business.

All user input is evil, but especially so when they have a free-for-all "upload" field.
> You have to go out of your way (or get very unlucky if you're choosing random parameters) to construct an exercise that will fool a large portion of people.

That's not remotely true. You're generally picking small integers, here, and frequently dealing with problems that have very few parameters.

"Species of birds in the genus Madeupicus all have the same proportions. Adult birds of one species in the genus have a wingspan of one meter and weigh one kilogram. How much do birds of a species in the genus with a two meter wingspan weigh?"

This is a very similar problem to the one in the original example. It has the same trick, which is that the integers on either side of the equation are the same in the first example, but they will not be the same in the second equation due to dimensional scaling.

Students do hundreds of math problems per week. Randomly-selected small integers will collide frequently.

And that's all ignoring the benefits of surprising people, which you still tacitly deny. What are you optimizing your questions for, "fairness"? "Predictability"? That sounds like a great way to ensure as many people as possible who didn't actually understand the subject matter will pass your tests.
All the streaming services have shitty interfaces. How many times do these fuckers need to poorly re-invent the music player?
Haa...cyclocross is definitely gear intensive.

I always enjoyed running becasue I could be ready in like 2 minutes vs going for a bike ride that involved at a minimum kitting up, pumping the tires, and more often than that for the type of riding I like (cross/mtb) I'd also have to drive to a destination. Now I can't run due to injury/surgery, so I have a bike on the trainer now and that's my tv time. minimizes the bike futzing.

I think a lot of us are used to the "bullshit asymmetry principle" and would rather disengage than engage in a handful of fruitless and repeated arguments.
I have no idea why they removed the 1Password android keyboard. It was such a convenient fallback. Autofill is extremely unreliable.

Pity they can't gather telemetry on something that they have removed.
You should be able to install any software you like on devices you paid full price for. Apple should make their money selling phones, computers, tablets, an operating system which should run on every PC, and digital content like music and books.
Reflexivity is like being your own observer, if you think about it. Suggests that we can modify our own behavior we are aware of ourselves, and that individuals lacking reflexivity are more "automatic", so to speak.
The version I use(d) doesn’t connect to their servers, it stores a local password vault, and uses WebDAV to sync. I mostly moved away from passwords, and moved important passwords to a different system (Bitwarden/vaultwarden), but still kept random low value/legacy stuff in 1Password, which is why I am annoyed vs merely disappointed by their product changes.
It is missing the right for own initiative and doesn't have budget powers, which is consequence of EU not being a state, but a union of independent states. However it has to vote and agree on all EU regulations and changes the proposed initiatives quite a lot. However EU parliament politics are ... complicated between party family and national interests.

A big problem is that its negotiations happen outside the spotlight. News focus on national parliaments and national governments and following EU debate is painfulnkt only, but also due to the multilinguality.

Microsoft did quite well for decades with Windows, never once charging developers to distribute on the platform. Apple does quite well with macOS. The value proposition of the App Store is access, period.

> The Job Bank website pulls from tax filing data so is going to be pretty reflective of real positions

The data here is completely survey-based, not based on tax filing.

The primary source is Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey.
This survey is conducted using a sample of respondents and data may be suppressed for reasons of confidentiality or data quality, but it is the most inclusive, timely and unbiased source of wage data by occupational group.

When the Labour Force Survey data is not available, other sources are considered, including:
Employment and Social Development Canada program data such as Employment Insurance program survey data
The Census
Provincial and territorial surveys and administrative data
Other organizations administrative data, such as the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Canadian Medical Association
Other sources when applicable
First published in November 2022, Small Area Estimations developed by Statistics Canada were added as a new data source.
Also time not billable to jobs, and vacation time, and rework (hopefully this is minimal). And insurance - that's a biggie.
Probably not exactly what you're thinking, but here's my stuff:

I used lilypond to typeset a lot of music, and then python scripts to chop them up so that I could overlay it on some videos of my own playing.

I have used Manim to create animations to go along with some music instruction videos that I'm creating.

I have created my own back/forward pedal to control a slideshow while playing the piano (using 2 arduinos, 1 in the pedal and another at the computer for wireless communication).

I used PHP to generate keyboard images from chord descriptions many years ago.

The author misses the concept of passion I think. It’s a major assumption that everyone has the same amount of time to discuss and or do, and I think it’s an incorrect/useless assumption.

There are certainly people who talk about hobbies more than actually doing them (it felt like this article was targeted negatively towards these folks), but often the biggest doers are also the biggest discussers.
Gptsms Access GPT through SMS, anytime, anywhere
What do you think about making GPT more accessible?

GPT SMS is an open source and community driven project still in development.
Will be funded by the community to serve humanity :)

Feel free the join the community!

Website: https://gptsms.online
Github: https://github.com/gpt-sms

For now only numbers from France can use the test version and have a rate of 1sms/24h. As the project advance rate will be decreased and more phone numbers will be available in more regions.

Your feedbacks are important :)

I’d be fine with telemetry if it recorded locally in a way which was fully inspectable and human readable and which I could send IFF I wanted to, but with a password manager I’d be scared even of just a long list of events; passwords and keys themselves are so low entropy vs long lists that you could easily encode something…
Ask HN: What ML books would you recommend for SWE getting into the field?

As a developer with more than a handful of apps on the AppStore, I can understand as one grows, desiring to move away from the 70-30 split, get better data around users and conversions, etc. This will become an interesting test if I flip. I'm not exactly thrilled about figuring out Paddle/Stripe/BrainTree/Paypal again, subscriptions and verifications, but there are a couple of struggling Apps in the portfolio that I need better data on the lack of conversion to standard price that it may be worth it.

All this said, I think everyone forgets after the first year of continuous billing per customer on subscriptions the percentage drops down to 15%, from the 70-30 to 85-15, which gets pretty close to operational profit parity for small shops.
> Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi recently hailed the New Delta project as the largest initiative ever undertaken in the country.

Wait a minute, how are we scoping and measuring initiatives when there’s at least one Great Pyramid plus a few others that may rank fairly high.
No I don't think there's a reason. Possibly that the primary sense of a canal is to transport things and this is to transport water. But that's the other sense of the word. I blame it on the firing of copy editors. Maybe this is another thing chatgpt can save us from.
I'd like to see a yearly benchmark for models, could be logic puzzles or a suit of tasks but as it stands there is not good way to measure the ability of models.
Their role is neither representing nor shaping interests.

Their role is managing while being accountable. And doing said managing by the least amount of coercion and the maximal amount of convincing.

There's no such thing as "represent". It's a political dead end meant to draw votes and political power to those who are presented as "representing" the current social division magnified by the media, whether it's race, religion, or the usual liberal conservative division.

You're supposed to hold them accountable even and especially if it goes against your "representation" or interests. But so long as the majority are playing the "representation" politics meta game, there's no hope for accountability.

If the point is to let everybody know so the arrestee’s friends can know and possibly help, making the records harder to find doesn’t help.

Exactly this. I self-host and blanket block a bunch of hosting providers because I get 100% spam from them. Just a few hosting providers that seemingly are unable to police their address space seem to be responsible for a big proportion of it.

If sending outbound email it's important to use a provider that itself has a good reputation. Just trying to develop a reputation for your own range isn't sufficient if your supplier has a bad reputation.

I don’t think whether or not such a rule is a part of gdpr is very relevant to the effect of the rules on people outside of the regulated businesses in practice.
Ignorant question: what percentage?
Sure, but it's hard to imagine he doesn't risk losing at least some of his existing employees if there are plenty of other options out there offering considerably more pay. And then be forced into taking on new employees at a considerably higher rate, hoping that won't then seed division/unhappiness in the ranks. It's hard to see it as a long-term viable business strategy anyway.
All academic and research institutes tend to accumulate patents and weaponize them. It's not fair to characterize SRI as a "non-practicing entity". Aside from all the things they build for defense / NSF, they did invent this thing called "Siri" that a lot of people use.

> They never built a commercial intrusion-detection product

No, but they did give away things like Bothunter away (which is admittedly HIDS).

I'm sympathetic to the argument against patents, etc. I was your competitor in the IDS space and also made a very fast IDS and exited, and also was harassed by people without a product in the market (over sending TCP RSTs to close connections, of all things, where there was loads of prior art).
> with the slightly added benefit that I don't have to worry about a sites shitty security practices.

I mean, here's the thing, I already don't have to worry about a site's shitty security practices because I'm using a random password for each account. Sure, my email could be leaked, but it's available on my CV anyway so, uh, congrats?
This is really exaggerated. 80% of all App Store revenue comes from sleazy pay to win games and loot boxes (according to the Epic trial).

The streaming apps have either completely abandoned in app purchases (Netflix, Spotify, YouTube TV, etc) or they allow outside purchases.

Not to mention apps that require out of band subscriptions to use or sell physical services and have an option of Apple Pay (standard credit card charges) like Uber.

Even if in app purchases only charged standard credit card processing fees, that’s the least of the problems for the Indy developer.
Instead, Microsoft charged thousands of dollars per seat per development tool, and even more for access to documentation (I have an old set of MSDN CDs around somewhere).

It’s two sides of the same coin, and I think the idea of taking a percentage of revenue does a better job of aligning platform owners and developers.

Q.E.D., for a look at my OP.
Why... does this exist... at all?
> This sounds pretty good to me, this is therefore like a regular old password except it's a cryptographic key that I don't have to remember and it's secured by whatever device PIN or face unlock that the device has.

So is my password, because I use (password manager).
So a useless word that could be replaced by stating the geographic name of the 'certain parts of the world' referred to. Seems like an artificial name the muddies/pollutes the topic rather than enlightens. The Spanish inquisition started in 1478, Spain threw off the muslim invaders in 1492. Should we call it the Islamic Spanish Inquisition, since Islamic is such an interchangeable term?
Even more hilarious: I have recorded customer service events specifically stating against all three of those.

I liked 1Password when it was an amazing Mac-only app. Now it's just another Electron app I can throw away and discard for different Electron app, there's nothing special about it.

The problem is that I don't see any particular alternative. I don't like Bitwarden's security (password is provided to the server to partially unlock so a malware server or MITM could get the password) and LastPass has known issues.

EDIT: And standalone apps are neat and cool, but doesn't let me share the Netflix password with my family.

I really wish life expectancy was more granular and included a number with, like, deaths due to risky behavior filtered out. Judging by the internet I get the impression that things like "falling off the top of a train" are much more common there than in some other more risk averse and lower bravado places, and it's hard to tell how much that impacts life expectancy vs other lifestyle and environmental factors.

with respect to the memory bandwidth thing, typically with ddr4 ram you get 30 or 40 gigabytes a second, jason cook tells me. a single main memory copy at 530 megabytes a second eats up one of those 30 or 40. if it's 4k (3840x2160), four times that, 10% of the computer, or 20% at 120 hertz. if you go from one copy per frame to two copies per frame, instead of using 20% of the computer's memory bandwidth just to update the screen, you're using 40%. or 50% if you are also writing that memory before it goes through the two copies

if you're trying to do something else on the computer, even on a different core, that's bottlenecked on memory bandwidth (as opposed to cpu or i/o or something) that's like using 50% of the computer, which means the whole computer is effectively half as fast

i think it's worth a significant amount of complexity to get your display system to suck up 30% of your computer instead of 50%, even when you're doing something that updates the full screen every frame, such as smooth scrolling, a 3d fps, or watching a movie, and that's why I think it's important to try to minimize copies in the pixel paper path

also keep in mind that many people dual-wield monitors these days, and 3840x2160, though common, is not as big as they get
I was going for "ignore the issue, let's just re-patch all alloc/free pointers, built-in or external, new or old" which I think would still work. (As long as anticheat doesn't freak out) It wouldn't suffer from inconsistencies, because you'd control all the calls again. Or is there something missing in this approach?
I have on several occasions. Power outages, being out of gas, having to clean tanks because of a bad batch of gas, a gas station I used to go to on road trips going out of business, credit card processing issues, getting tired of lines so I go elsewhere, and just being closed for the night are all failure modes of gas pumps I've personally experienced. Some of these way more than once.

I haven't personally experienced any failures to get a charge on CCS chargers though. I do agree if the power can't run the pumps it won't run the chargers either, but there hasn't been a similar major power outage since I got an EV and tried to charge on a public charger.

That reminds me, I've experienced bad gas require me to make repairs on my cars. I've never personally had an EVSE break my car, but I do contend it could happen.

It depends on your threshold of meddling, although I suppose you're right that those 2 countries are on the lighter side. There was a big kerfuffle with Singapore in the late 80s re: Francis Seow, and the US supplies weapons to both of those countries.

No reason both can't be true. evil companies can shovel ad-supported business models down our throats while the few paid options which have emerged haven't offered users enough value to justify the fees, being forced to be logged into an account, or having to worry about how many searches you make in a day.

Thank you for your comment, I'm happy to hear that!
Two major problems with holding passwords server side as hashes:
1) Every authentication attempt needs to send the password as cleartext (even if over TLS) so that the hash can be recomputed server side and compared. This gives ample opportunity for the password to be intercepted either over the wire or compromise of infrastructure server-side. Using asymmetric encryption doesn't have this vulnerabity.

2) Passwords that can be stored in the meatsack attached to the keyboard aren't as random as we'd like to think them to be, where as a secure pseudo-random function will generate keypairs with unguessable entropy.

Expanding on 2) While salting and non-uniform iteration counts of hashes prevents instant compromise from rainbow tables, they only slow down adversaries generating hashes from password guesses, as the salt and iteration count will typically be leaked from the same table as the password hash.

Its worth noting that while it definitely is infeasible to attempt to crack 100K+ users passwords from a password hash leak, using password spraying and especially password stuffing approaches will inevitably lead to compromise one or more accounts relatively quickly. At the other end of the spectrum, if a known high-value account can be identified, dedicating the distributed cloud resources to cracking a specific password can be a net-profitable undertaking.
Q> Write a FizzBuzz problem in COBOL

A> Sure, here is the FizzBuzz problem in COBOL:

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. FIZZBUZZ.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 COUNT PIC 9(02).
01 MESSAGE PIC X(08).
01 BLANK PIC X(01) VALUE SPACES.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
INITIALIZE.
MOVE 1 TO COUNT.
PERFORM UNTIL COUNT > 100
EVALUATE COUNT
WHEN 3
MOVE "Fizz" TO MESSAGE
WHEN 5
MOVE "Buzz" TO MESSAGE
WHEN 3 AND 5
MOVE "FizzBuzz" TO MESSAGE
WHEN OTHER
MOVE COUNT TO MESSAGE
END-EVALUATE
DISPLAY MESSAGE
ADD 1 TO COUNT
END-PERFORM.
GOBACK.

This program prints the numbers from 1 to 100. However, for multiples of 3, it prints "Fizz" instead of the number. For multiples of 5, it prints "Buzz" instead of the number. And for multiples of both 3 and 5, it prints "FizzBuzz" instead of the number.

Here is an example of the output of the program:

1
2
Fizz
4
Buzz
Fizz
7
8
Fizz
Buzz
11
Fizz
13
14
FizzBuzz
16
17
Fizz
19
Buzz

Disclosures:

1. I work for Google, but not on Bard.

2. I don't know COBOL. Would be good if someone can check if the code is legit. I get a feel that it checks for the numbers to match (3, 5), not be divisible by 3 and 5.
