With that definition of “end”, “end-to-end encryption” isn’t different from just plain “encryption”. The significance of the phrase is that you don’t leak anything outside the ultimate ends of the communication, including to servers in the middle.
I’m unsure why the word epistemology is omitted from these conversations so frequently. Fundamentally I feel that’s the underlying thing that’s difficult
500 years ago, 95% of humans were farmers; this is because we hadn't yet invented the combine harvester or the automatic cow milking machine.

Somewhere I have a CellBE PCI development board (from Mercury). I should get it working again and see if it's easier to deal with now.
>Regarding end-2-end encryption: It does not prevent a government from reading your messages anyhow

Yes, e2e in principle does. You are arguing that e2e on specific platforms could be wiretapped by government order, which is feasible.

I correct this because it's important to be technically correct when discussing this in public. E2e the technology is not broken.
eh, not really. even if you have a CS degree you forget how to do typical algo hard problems quickly after working in industry because you so rarely need to do them. the CS degree lets me _recognize_ when there's a problem with a particular complexity domain that needs a time- or space-efficient solution to scale, but I sure as hell can't recall the exact strategy on the spot like interview scenarios demand.

given a day or two, sure, I can go review, find that solution, and provide an implementation and explanation as to why it matters for a particular problem domain, but an hour-long phone interview isn't gonna check that effectively, unless they really want to see the initial stage of me silently reviewing maths literature to awaken knowledge in cold storage

on contrast, I _can_ explore systems design stuff fine in that space of time, because systems design _is_ what I practice regularly in industry, because that's what I'm regularly asked to do.
There are much more civil ways to state that you're out of your depth.
Same story here. Chantix (varenicline) somehow magically eliminated the carvings permanently (13 years and I haven't wanted nicotine again, though I still have nostalgia for the act of smoking). It has heavy side effects, still worth it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that GP is partially correct, in that the lunar sighting is not an individual thing, but done at the communal level by the central authority. It's just that like most religions, Islam has multiple streams, and this there are multiple central authorities.

Is this not how it works? I'm not Muslim, this is what I understood from a Muslim coworker. He also implied that there's some politics involved, in that various Middle Eastern countries align themselves with their political bloc when announcing the day, although any political motivations are "alleged" and not acknowledged.
(in reply to the post you just sent)
I can't actually reply to comments that far down, I guess that's a HN quirk I didn't notice all this time until just now but yeah I also just covered that in a reply to someone else

Physically, no, but practically there is little incentive. ICEVs are so inefficient to begin with that small improvements don't really move the needle much on fueling cost like they do with EVs. Combined with the fact that you necessarily have to carry a great deal more energy with you in an ICEV anyway.
elesiuta had some great commentary I agree with, but to add my own response:

> IMO these are all 'security' related, just personal security (which is what I define privacy as).

I think this level of reduction becomes problematic in scenarios where security>privacy advocates talk about security in the collective sense.

Playing devil's advocate to highlight where I believe this reduction of security->personal security->privacy breaks down: A man borrowed many books from a library on the topic of explosive chemistry. That man later was involved in terrorist acts.

This is a situation where one could argue that less privacy for people in relation to their library borrowing habits may have resulted in greater security.

This is an example of an event that has happened, and while I hate the cliche of terrorism in debates about privacy and feel this particular point can be argued, it's exactly these kinds of scenarios that security>privacy advocates use to push for fewer privacy protections across large groups of people.
I submitted Initech over a week ago and still don't see it.

>When you have a centralized system like ICANN DNS, the governments know which IP addresses the domain points to. They can go and serve them National Security Letters or shake them down to install secret backdoors.

HN opinions on CloudFlare aside, CloudFlare Tunnels mean DNS records point at CloudFlare servers, and the IP address of the origin server isn't discoverable via DNS. Sure, it's a court order away from being figured out even with dynamic IPs and historical logs with ISPs, but it's an interesting thought.

Qbix certainly looks very interesting. How have you guys been around for ten years and flown under the radar?
> .. and is also the ideology of every single species on Earth from bacteria to higher mammals and humans (we're not special).

we ARE special

we are the only form of life on Earth that has (at least in some places) chosen to not expand ourselves at the expense of everything else

some humans value the natural world, unpolluted waters, general quality of life over having as many children as possible
> I believe you can do bold in Unicode. (see: 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝) As far as I know HN has never supported bold as a markup style.

Oh, I think you're right, I'd forgotten. Grr, HN's limited subset of Markdown is quite annoying sometimes. Well, I'm going to be lazy and just write "R".

> I'd like to know more about the sets you refer to, ℝ[ε] and ℝ(ε), but I don't recognize them. Do they have names I can search for?

No, they don't, that's part of my point -- that you don't need to use recognized systems with names, you can use the usual constructions (or unusual constructions...) to make your own in the way that mathematicians always do. I mean I guess they sort of have names in that the notation would be pretty understandable to most everyone, although pronouncing it is annoying in that they'd both most typically just be pronounced "R adjoin epsilon", although I guess you could say "ring-adjoin" or "field-adjoin" to disambiguate. But note that there's plenty of other variants one could make as well, not just these.

Basically go learn some abstract algebra, is what I would say. Or go read about ring adjunction (and polynomials) or field adjunction (and rational functions).

Btw, I wouldn't describe these as "sets", that's not really the appropriate word to use here. When we talk about systems of numbers, we are, well, talking about systems, or algebraic structures -- rings, fields, ordered rings or fields, topological rings or fields, etc. To say "set" implies that what is important is the elements of these things, the contents; but these elements have no meaning on their own, they're given meaning by the structure -- the permitted operations, relations, etc. (Addition, multiplication, negation, less than or equal to...) Formally, an algebraic structure is a tuple, with the base set being just the first element of that tuple, even if we typically abuse notation and use the same symbol to refer to the set and the structure on that set.

Um, hope that's helpful?
How is that good news? It means the data from this test is worthless.
The workers were not held in contempt though.
This state of information isn't the least bit new, but for some reason many of us are treating it like it is. Wealthy families, corporations, politicians, banks, and so on have always had their hands in what we get to see. The very idea that foreign enemy nations use propaganda has itself been used as a propaganda tactic many times.

What's troublesome for the public is that the culture does not instill a healthy level of individualism when it comes to interpreting information; we are encouraged to trust experts and to otherwise follow one of two distinct camps on any given topic. People don't believe they have time to understand things on their own, nor do they believe they have the capacity to do so. In actuality, this is nonsense, given how many people manage to at least pass through high school, and how much time adults spend consuming entertainment. In their defense, it takes an inordinate amount of work to sift through the detritus that makes up at least 80% of prose on the internet; most articles simply can't get to the point, but I guess creative writing majors need something to do.

I truly think the best thing for the average person right now is to not take information-for-sale seriously. They are better off knowing less, not more. The idea that information has a linearly distributed benefit is a fallacy. The more information, the more vectors for pathological information.
This is completely irrelevant but people often refer to you when they message/email me!

If you’re getting married, probably better to stay where you can prioritize life outside of career, no?
No probably not. If you don't usually get cravings and you haven't smoked in over 4 years you're probably fine. A good check is to note how you react when you smell someone's cigarette on the street.
On Reddit, whenever China is even remotely applicable you will see the top comments mocking and flaming Xi. India is less extreme (not on random posts) but the vast majority of https://reddit.com/r/India criticizes Modi as well (and on random posts there's general India negativity and sometimes even racism in other subs). Other platforms I'm on (including HN) also give no sympathy to dictators.

So it's definitely not every platform
This is not logging. It's web session telemetry.
Fair enough. To reiterate, Im personally not a fan but I would say they are generally usable.
And in how many systems you ever ended switching from one database engine for another?
GPT-4 has a lot of problems with recent versions of APIs. Working with Cloudflare workers was initially painful because of the dated code it would generate. The code would be valid, it just didn't work with the initial scaffolding wrangler generated.

I've found copying and pasting chunks of the API context into the prompt solves 99% of it. I'm now able to get it to generate modern workers just fine. You can copy an example method signature, some docs, etc. and it picks up on that fairly reliably. I've even just copy-and-pasted an entire worker implementation (100+ LoC) at the beginning of a prompt and that worked.
Go look at anything Altman and his compatriots have said about the need for “alignment” in their creation of a supposed god, or the “long-termism” ideology from which much of this emerged, which is really little more than warmed over Calvinism.
How does this stuff keep happening? Like no one wants it in the public why is it still coming up?
I think what's missing from this discussion is an emphasis on how layered Windows paths are.

The Win32 paths are like an emulation layer. They parse the given path and produce a kernel path. Win32 implements all the weird history you know and love as well as things like `.` and `..`. You can use the `\\?\` prefix to escape this parsing and pass paths to the kernel.

The NT kernel has paths like `\Device\HarddiskVolume2\path\to\file`. NT paths are much simpler. There are no restrictions on paths except that they can't contain empty components (notably they can contain nul). At this layer, `.` and `..` are legit filenames.

However, it's the filesystem driver ultimately says what's a valid filename and what isn't.
I've seen apps replaced/rewritten on top of a database multiple times. I've seen it be very convenient to have enough logic in the database that it was easy and low-risk to have multiple programs share a database, without sharing much or any code.

I've never actually seen a database system get swapped out, in real life. The only two ways I can imagine it happening are: 1) someone made a colossal fuck-up picking the DB software—and, it'd have to be really bad, I've seen a lot of applications stick with a mistake there and just deal with the pain; or 2) extreme hockey-stick growth (which, file under "good problem to have, and we can afford a proper migration")

In fact, #2 is usually addressable with supplementary databases, a little re-structuring of the existing database, and smarter caching, except in super-rare scenarios of truly wild growth or unusual access patterns. More often than not, even then, the original database sticks around in some form or another.

It's mostly just a ritual. After you've gotten past whatever pressures and inducements your management offers (or not) for you to stay, the exit interview is you pretending to seriously answer the "why" and HR pretending to care.
Hah, I didn't know that.

It's like Pancake Day in the UK. Traditionally the time to use up sugar/milk/eggs before lent but turns into everyone buying extra to pig out on. To think we could have got Mardi Gras instead.

And the competition is not about completely stopping wildfires, as is clearly stated on the linked page. They target what they call Extreme Wildfire Events which are roughly 3% of all wildfires. The focus is on detecting and suppressing those, as those 3% of all wildfires account for 80% of the total damages.

This made my fucking day
About I2C addressing: I've thought about the issue. That solution could fail in theory because of collisions, ie a micro-controller cannot atomically check the assert pin and raise it if low. The project uses 1000ms + rand(0, 5000ms), which sounds big enough.

I've always wondered if a solution based of multi-master I2C support could work: all childs shout a unique ID and the parent answers with their assigned I2C address. Children that do not win the arbitration will detect collisions and stop because of arbitration errors. Unsure how well it could work with many children.

See https://www.i2c-bus.org/multimaster/ and https://www.i2c-bus.org/i2c-primer/clock-generation-stretchi... for introductions to I2C multimaster and arbitration. The spec is of course not open.

I'd be interested in discussing the topic more!
Notice periods are, as far as I know and in my experience, the _minimum_ number of weeks or months to give notice. Nothing is stopping you from giving notice earlier.
Look white, grew up white, not completely white in actual fact. I was mainly establishing my general whiteness of character and persona, but being accurate.

edit: I describe myself as straight-presenting for the same reasons.
A funding body grants you money and demands open-access. They often state very clearly that costs for publications (submission or publication fees, open access fees etc) cannot be paid from grant money. Thus, you need another source. The first address is your institute / department / faculty / university. If they decline to pay the open access fee, you are in trouble.

That’s actually common practice in a lot of fields.
It would be passed on to renters as a higher price.
Even though I know OP lives in US: in Europe you get written down the notice period on your contract. If you decide to quit or if your company decides to fire you, both parties have to honor the notice period (usually between 1-3 months).

>First responders are told to go to a place and do a thing.

By whom? There's still a human blindly trusting what the computer says somewhere in the loop, and we can and should expect them to do due diligence for a matter where lives are on the line, like a raid.
But when they do, the results can be hilarious!

As you pointed out there are a myriad of circumstances that can occur. Being so specific about a solution seems wrong headed to me. Imagine getting your new door opener and every thing works. Do you really think many people will unplug it each year and verify that the battery is still effective? I haven't even tried it and mine is new. Should we pass a law requiring everyone with a battery backed door opener to prove that they check it each year and that it works?

For my situation the manual solution is optimal. We can reach everything and door opens easily. Not only that the car I would actually escape in is parked on the street. The garage car is an EV and would not be my first choice for escape. Everyone situation is different.

Don't even get me started about SF's requiring home owners to fix uneven sidewalks:)
No need to worry, I'm not Irish.
its worse actually for ICE because you are probably only accounting for engine efficiency but there are also transmission losses to the wheel. Further all the 3000 or so component of ICE weight fair bit too. I have not seen any analysis on combine energy to the wheel/Kg comparison between ICE & EVs but I'd bet it gets significantly worse for IC cars even at 500wh/Kg.
This definitely falls into the category for me of "things that I wasn't there for."

Because I learned computers when DOS was a thing, I will always be able to write a .bat or use CMD when necessary, but having been on the UNIX/Linux side since 2003, I didn't learn C# or PowerShell but rather bash, php, ruby. So while I'm friendly with modern Windows now that they closed up the "is it a stable OS" gap with Apple, I don't really know what to do in PowerShell and am more likely to use WSL!

Around 375 employees per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI

Let's say 500 employees, earning above Bay Area average, along with benefits etc at $400K average per year. That's $200 million a year in wages, so in the same ballpark as the $200 million in infrastructure costs cited in the article, for a total of $400 million in expenses per year.
>>Midjourney CEO David Holz announced last year that his program would explicitly forbid users to create images of China’s Xi Jinping. Users who attempt to do so are threatened with a ban. “Political satire in china is pretty not-okay,” Holz posted on Discord, according to The Washington Post. He added that “the ability for people in China to use this tech is more important than your ability to generate satire.”

It is not about the ability of people in China to use their tech that is more important than our ability to to generate satire — it's Holz' ability to make money.

And if he thinks that some people's ability to use it at all is more important than all user's ability to use it freely (without CCP's blessing on every pixel), I'd suggest he needs to rethink freedom vs authoritarianism.

Fork that.

At my most cynical, my response to this is dripping with acidic sarcasm towards the idea that Kenyans are somehow bringing corruption into our clean, meritocratic university system.
To create one, yes. But to propagate it, no.
I personally am okay with the American model tbf.

When I want to quit immediately, I don't want to stay miserable in the same job for 1-3 months. 3 months would be insane for me. As long as it works both ways (I can quit whenever, and you can fire me whenever) - it's fine.

Acceptable. Preferred even.
Classic attention is quadratic in context length and faster alternatives seem to not perform as well, wonder how Hyena is in comparison to linear attention algorithms.
It's understood there is no universal truth, so the news here is not that these platforms are becoming distorted where they were not before. It's that social media platforms in the democratic US are increasingly moderating content to align with dictators for, one assumes, money. Perhaps it's to increase platform reach in those countries, but what is the side-effect going to be on US politics with an online media landscape that now skews more heavily toward #dictator? Will US states legislatures begin to request the same 'moderation services' to support their own anti-democratic agendas? If so the country will change, the economic environment will change here, and not for the better.

I didn't equate nudity and pornography, and Americans don't do that. I'm asking if porn is normal elsewhere (answer was no) and saying FB moderation board might be lumping them together because there aren't fair ways to designate porn vs not.

I would use something other than mpge. Tesla advertises numbers you won't see in the real world, more so than some other manufacturers (Porsche is an example that goes the opposite direction and under-promises).

I do wish my Model 3 LR would actually go 358 miles on a charge, that's for sure, but it would have to get even lower Wh/mi than Tesla claims on the Monroney sticker. I suppose that's not the most egregious lie on Tesla's web site, however.
