It's not "a single photo of a damaged chip" there are at least 4 different public examples that I've seen. Not that it changes the scale of the evidence much.

The fact that the vendors are acting so quickly about this suggests to me that they have other non-public examples of the problem (from warranty returns, etc.) and the hullabaloo led them to compare notes and determine the root cause rather quickly. Or maybe they're just over-reacting to defuse the mob but I don't think that's super likely.
Like a lot of urban legends, there is a mix of truth.

* No, interstate highways in the US are not required by regulation to be designed for military use.

* Yes, the military is aware that highways are an option for landing if need be, and they have even trained to do this.

* Regardless, the military doesn't really need highways to be required by law to be designed for landing for them to serve that practical purpose. A scenario in which US military bases and airports are blown up is a pretty extreme scenario to plan for anyway. There are almost 20,000 airports in the US.

* Some other countries do impose design requirements by law for highways to be used as runways.
> If you ask me user-facing performance was always a priority.

You're absolutely correct, every major Apple architectural change has been motivated in large part by performance.

For example, the MacUser cover introducing PowerPC was "FASTEST EVER! PowerPC Macs • Five Times Faster • Outperforms Pentium". Apple was effectively forced to move to Intel because IBM fabrication caused PowerPC to fall behind performance goals. And of course, performance continues to be a primary motivation behind the move to Apple Silicon.
I recently started using LingQ for this. It's effortful rather than easy, which makes it a bit harder to develop into a habit, but the technique seems very effective, and the platform works well both when importing content and when studying it.

Maybe you're targeting people who are more casual learners, and aren't willing to do stuff that feels hard?
I heard it's so complicated that they have built up a reservoir of institutional knowledge and in-house expertise that would take ten years to reproduce. I've also heard this as the reason that if China were to capture Taiwan and TSMC intact (however likely that is or not) then they still couldn't run it competently without those people, or without those ten years of more work. I don't know if it's true or not, that's just what I heard.
> Unfortunate that Canada seems to be allowing the mergers of massive telecom companies without any concerns of monopolization, price fixing, etc. etc, though that's a bit of a tangent.

Shaw isn't really a telecom in the traditional sense, they don't really have any mobile phone subscriber base. That being said, we've always had monopolization, and price fixing for those things in Canada.
> there's often not enough evidence to convict

Then add financial liability IMO. If Amazon charges someone's credit card for a counterfeit motorcycle helmet that turns out to be deadly, they should get hit with a massive fine. Let them go after the upstream and if they don't have a good enough relationship with their business partners to do that, tough luck for them.

Maybe that's the easiest. Make the retailer that charges consumers' credit cards liable and don't let companies hide behind "marketplaces" that are designed to avoid liability.

If one uses a redirect_uri with PKCE parameters to send a response a non-oauth endpoint, the AS is still acting as a redirector.

It's typically not a list. You typically will have one redirect uri (at least, one per AS), because thats the communication endpoint defined by your client. There are other parameters like state to remember what you wanted to do after you had an access token.

PKCE exists to bind the front-channel authorization request and back-channel token request together as being by the same client. There is otherwise no evidence that the two parts are by the same software instance, which causes other security issues.

NDAs would still apply even in a zero-copyright world. Of course, there's the related question of whether or not publishers would actually agree to nondisclosure in said world, and whether or not authors would care to actually refuse publication agreements that lacked them.

The thing about publishers is that none of them are interested in publishing without copyright. Authors have inherent advantages in their craft that would at least leave them with something in a zero-copyright world - you can still crowdfund literature, and that's why you see plenty of self-published authors but not that many self-published filmmakers[0]. But publishers can't - all the things that make them money require not just copyright, but also sublicensing rights on derivative works. In the zero-copyright world they're all fighting to republish things that people already have. So they need copyright ownership with licensing terms that subtly disfavor authors instead.

That being said, I'm not an advocate for zero-copyright. That's the nuclear option. But it does need to be pared back to protecting artists from publishers[1], rather than protecting publishers from readers.

Brawls no, not that I'm aware- though there are very opinionated fan-bases and supporters groups even state-side who have had great success protesting owners, abusive coaches, etc. In England the women's game was banned for fifty years so likewise, the fan base never developed the same way as the men's though that's changing.

I tend to watch big matches on the mens side so I will answer what I can. The physicality of women's matches here in the states is high, just check out I think Sierra Gordon on twitter a few days ago where she posted a rather, surprisingly, dirty blindside play by Alex Morgan. The women are scrappy, and play rough physically like they are in college still- whereas the men tend to hold themselves back more if you watch closely. The women tend to play every match of the league full throttle and that's because by the end of the season, you usually have four or five teams fighting for a playoff space.

Women foul more as their technique is generally worse, because of a lack of high level coaches in the youth side to engrain habits. That being said, they don't complain and fake like the men do. Some preppy youth players come in w that prep-school attitude as I like to call it, but in a season or three its usually out of them.

Tactically the game is slower, the game has more upper 90's goals, but a lot of that is lack of proper youth training too. Canada's womens soccer team had a female coach who drilled average passing speed as a team into them and they almost rivaled the mens statistics. I think that was 2011 or 2015 and they did v well. Do some research on that and you can probably find a whitepaper. Average passing per minute or something like that. Tactically too, a superstar or two still is capable of greatly influences the game at a high level, like basketball.
The thing that always fascinated me about LCARS and Star Trek interfaces was the labelling -- rather than a label that tells you what a button does, or whats being visualized on screen, you'll get a random-seeming number or an unlabeled chart.

"Letting the database handle it" for truly large tables can have some potentially tricky issues.

The most common I've seen relate to replication. If your database has replicas and uses row-based replication (as opposed to statement-based replication) running "update huge_table set title = upper(title)" could create a billion updated rows, which then need to be copied to all of those replicas. This can cause big problems.

In those cases, it's better to update 1,000 rows at a time using some kind of batching mechanism, similar to the one described in the article.

No. "But they could do something illegal with the thing they need to do their job" is not a good argument.

It's definitely a thing. I remember when Lost first aired I had lengthy discussions every week with friends, I even logged into Lostpedia to browse, exchange theories etc.

By comparison, the first Netflix show I remember really watching was House of Cards. Tried to have conversations with friends about it but inevitably you'd start with "oh, what episode are you on? Is that the one with the...? So you haven't seen...?".

Discussing an entire season when it's complete is definitely less fulfilling than discussing each episode. Depending on the show, of course.

Show HN: Agent Actors – Plan-Do-Check-Adjust with Parallelized LLM Agent Trees
Hey HN! Been working on this library for architecting stateful LLM agent trees that execute in parallel. Think of it like a AI scheduler for BabyAGIs or AutoGPTs, like:

-----

Parent (Plan and Adjust): Chief Revenue Officer / VP Sales

Children (Do and Check): 3 Sales Development Representatives; 2 Account Managers; 1 Market Researcher.

You can give the CRO a task and it will break it down, distribute it appropriately to its children, and the children will work in parallel on the task.

Curious to hear your feedback first HN, we're launching on Twitter tomorrow!
Thought this was worth sharing. I'm terrible with remembering dates of birthdays, anniversaries, etc. plus I hate shopping.
My reading of the statement (and understanding of other reporting on this subject) is that EXPO alone can trigger this issue. Calling EXPO overclocking feels somewhat disingenuous to me.

EXPO is akin to Intel's XMP. The RAM stick reports timings and other settings that it can handle and then the motherboard/user selects one to use. The profiles are needed because the official JEDEC standard for DDR doesn't provide a mechanism for running up to the frequencies that modern RAM uses; e.g. if you buy a DDR5 6000MHz kit, it'll only run at 4800MHz or thereabouts until you enable EXPO/XMP. RAM is really never expected to be run at the base frequency (without EXPO/XMP). If you buy a prebuilt, it'll have EXPO/XMP enabled, and if you build yourself you always should be enabling it. If you have a RAM kit that's somewhat recent and don't have it enabled, you've likely wasted money on the RAM.

Intel has attempted to claim that XMP was overclocking and violated their warranty but my understanding is that they quickly backed off.
Am I a "cunt" or an "absolute cunt"? Can you explain the difference and how you made your determination based on the content of my post?

If an absolute cunt is somehow the best kind of cunt or something akin to the type of cunt against which all others can be compared for validating their individual levels of cuntness then I definitely want to be THE absolute cunt. Not just any absolute cunt.

Indeed I suspect that you're correct when you "revel" that cunts are everywhere and I take some measure of comfort in knowing that there are those among us all, people like myself who find some small pleasure in their presence.

Not OP. They're pushing an agenda is the general criticism. E.g. I'm all for them not excluding minorities. If the show does good, it does good. It's a universal unassailable good/win.

> well yeah, but there was already state, but nobody used it for that

state was meant to be application state. The problem is that there _wasn't_ anything like PKCE in vanilla OAuth 2, so the client was told to overload state with protocol state with particular processing rules, rather than just its own application state.

With PKCE, the AS can see whether it is the same client instance and reject the request. The state workarounds meant the client had to implement the rejection, which many did not do.
>No random liked tweets, no recommendations. That simply didn't exist before.

Have you actually ever used Twitter? That's literally the first thing that has existed in Twitter. It's the oldest part of the entire service. It has always existed.

And of course, third-party Twitter clients such as Tweetbot always gave you pure sequential timeline. Elon decided to ban all of them.

>There seems also better support for freedom of speech now. Before Musk, accounts were often suspended for highly dubious reasons.

Highly dubious reasons such as what?

Also, remember when Musk banned people for posting links to Mastodon? Where does this fall on the "free speech" spectrum?

>I can't comment much on the Twitter API now costing money, but was it even important?

Yes.

>Moreover, in the past the "verification" was not about verification. It was a way to split Twitterers into peasants and elite. Where the elite didn't just include celebrities and big organizations, but also random journalists for some reason.

In the past, verification was supposed to mean that if you had the name "Bill Clinton" and a picture of Bill Clinton, that it was actually Bill Clinton. And now it's about… Paying Elon Musk $10?

I don't know where the "split" part comes from. The checkmark didn't actually do anything. It was literally just "we checked that this publicly notable person is who they say they are". Elon is the one that is trying to split Twitter into the paying and the non-paying by making sure that the non-paying are made much less visible. Freedom of speech if you just fork over the $10?

And yeah, journalists were also verified because they tweet about a lot of news from their accounts, and you want to know that "@johndoe from New York Times" is actually John Doe working for the New York Times and not Sergei in St. Petersburg.

>You can easily see whether a famous account is real by looking at the number of followers.

And how does that work if a famous account is new?
Yeah, it's certainly not always an option, but it just needs to be enough of an option for enough people in order to put some downward pressure on rents (compared to full capture of the increased income).

Totally, and in my experience it's above a certain level in the company, below that level the employees have pride and care about their customers because they are them and can relate to them, above a certain level they are not users of their own products, cant relate to regular people and then a different dynamic takes over.

And yet it's the best human mind can come up and the basis for all the scientific knowledge.

Many a 3D object can be projected in infinite ways to a 2D plane, which is not at all surprising: that "3D view" is but one of colinear projections of a cylinder just like that square or circle. None of those are isomorphic, which is not at all surprising: that square or circle or even 3D view could be a projection of any number of different objects, which does not make them the same object at all. The example chosen is a terrible one.

Basically, mathematics is a demonstration that our understanding is limited. We also do understand how incomplete it is, so there's no misunderstanding there either.

This article is demonstration of how someone can turn half-truths into seemingly something more, but not really.

Eg. I can project lemon to colour yellow, and sun to colour yellow (let's call that function ColourOf()), but that's not the basis to say that Yellow color is at the same time both a sun and a lemon: they are two distinct things which happen to have one common property in relation to the function ColourOf.

There is nothing we as humans misunderstand about that.

Apple, as an example, promise that your keys are end-to-end encrypted and not viewable by Apple themselves. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT213305#:~:text=Recovery%20....

Should you trust Apple? Is this secure enough if a password can still be used that recovers all these keys?

Ultimately there is always a convenience/security trade-off. The “passkey” concept has it right for the 99% of users case (in my opinion). For that 1%, it’s still WebAuthn, so nothing stops you from using a Yubikey with a second safe-held Yubikey for disaster recovery.
It's two sides of the same coin, no?

"Stop spreading this bullshit."

Looking at the entirety of your comment, you should really apply this advice to yourself.

Highly processed or ultra-processed food is absolutely a meaningful term. The United Nations published so-called NOVA food classification which divides food into four categories by the amount of processing it received.

Category 4 is what OP was talking about. Industrially processed stuff full of preservatives, artificial coloring, hydrogenated oils, protein isolate, maltodextrin, invert sugar etc. Unlike the other three categories, this sort of industrial processing is a relative newcomer, it wasn't even a thing 100 or 150 years ago, so it is entirely plausible that our guts and our gut biome may not be happy about it.
"the systems aim to measure whether a student knows the classroom material by the end of a term without penalties for behavior,"

Ok, let's give students a test at the beginning of the year to see if they test out. Then the same test at the end of the year to see if the people who didn't test out pass. Would work pretty well to see what improvements were made to their knowledge during the course vs what they came in with. As is mentioned in the article, there are other learning related areas this approach misses.

Sorry, that's only speculation, since I haven't had more time to analyze the database. If you read Apple's passkey security document, it claims that passkeys are distributed identically across devices. And that you can recover the passkeys even in the event that all associated devices are lost. It's also possible to share passkeys at any time.

passkeys.com:

> When a user sets up a passkey, a key is generated and synchronized to the cloud. When the user connects from another device in the same ecosystem, it will use the same key.

WebAuthn supports verified attestations for hardware-backed authenticators. Passkeys seem to be designed for normal consumers, who worry about losing authenticator devices.
For me, the biggest pain point is usually setting up a working development environment and other infrastructure, which is often hampered by poor documentation. Sometimes the documentation is really good for one of the ways to use some library/framework/service, but not so good if you have a slightly unconventional use case and then you get stuck.

Programming an application in any random programming language isn't usually too hard when you're handed a perfectly working environment and just need to build the business logic. Most websites don't take some crazy LeetCode skills to build. But getting to the stage where you have a working environment isn't always trivial even in this age of containers and all kinds of build tools.
> The main drivers are lifestyle choices and availability of contraceptives. 1972 does not predate most socioeconomic changes like women entering the workforce and their education levels.

Not true. The decline in birth rates actually started in the 1950’s before the sexual revolution. It only came to a head in 1972 ie the problems did not start in 1972, that’s the year Canada became unable to replenish its workforce with native births alone. Canada was also behind the US when it comes to the sexual revolution. Abortion wasn’t even legal there until 1988.

The root cause of declining birthrates is NOT socioeconomic
Last year, I went on a diet of only strawberry flavored candy peeps. I lost 50 lbs, my skin cleared up, and I feel like I have more energy. Clearly an all candy diet is something we need more research on, as it seems the status quo is to undersell the advantages of this high sucrose diet.
