It is certainly true that there are many inventions that pose some sort of threat to humanity, and that they are generally pursued by people who have some sort of personal/professional interest in their development. In that respect, this isn't particularly different.

The sentiment of "Oh by the way this stuff is super bad and dangerous so we should be careful" just rings pretty hollow from someone who is at the tail-end of a career spent in pursuit of that exact bad, dangerous thing. If he were 20 years younger or not wealthy it's hard to believe that he would be saying this out loud, even if he believed it.

Also this sentiment rings _extra_ hollow from someone who supposedly left CMU because he didn't want to accept Pentagon funds or work on things that would be used for war. That feels like either an incoherent value system or some pretty substantial half-truths to me.
Clickbait and lying.

It did immediately respond - by detonating the self-destruct explosives. It's just that that didn't immediately destroy the whole rocket.
Poll: does anyone (mostly in the US) tip outside of restaurants? Like valets, hotel staff, grocery store staff, etc.
No, but that's not the regulator's problem either. It's not as if there is some sacrosanct right for companies to merge that is being abrogated. The entire existence of a company is at the pleasure of government.
By and large true, but there are some sketchy rural places, and some rural places that are safe but not friendly....such as the place I moved back when I assumed all rural people were neighborly.

Last time I used WebCrypto the implementation in Safari was buggy in subtle ways. It was possible to work around it. I filed bugs against Apple so maybe it's fixed now.

These days you can argue that a browser is intended to do anything, as there seems to be no scope limit to what goes into HTML5. But it's not what they're really about. Why did this exploit occur, well, WebCrypto apparently isn't directly exposed to WASM as C/C++ APIs even though that seems like an obvious thing to do. Or an even more obvious possibility: expose it as a subset of some existing API like POSIX. But WASM is api-lite, so everything beyond pure computation requires invoking JS and that's not how any existing C++ is written.

Eventually people will blast through this stuff. But, it was worked out in other platforms in the 80s and early 90s.
Your points are all excellent examples of how far Passkeys have to go before they’re useful and usable for the masses.

They are cross-platform, but I’ve noticed that the platform makers want so strongly to keep you within their various gardens, that using them across ecosystems isn’t very intuitive or obvious unless you experiment or already know. That’s not a great way to foster mass adoption.

I’m using them everywhere I can and that make sense, but I’m tracking their use very closely in my password manager.
> Today, the Crown retains the ownership of all unmarked swans in England and Wales

Don't understand. All unmarked swans belong to the crown, and all cygnets are unmarked until they are marked. But you can't mark a swan you don't own; so after just one generation, all swans are unmarked, and therefore belong to the crown.

A couple things.

The first is that Starship has a AFTS (Autonomous Flight Termination System), which means that it's commanding itself to destruct if it predicts that it will be going out of bounds, rather than the ground sending the command to it. I don't think there is a way to command the rocket remotely after launch.

The other thing is that it did break up when it was around 30 KM above ground.
I'm baffled that they didn't use a linear charge for the FTS. Was it that much cheaper to just put the two little hole-poking charges?

I have no clue but could be more a problem of his assignments and framing from NYT editors. His book on history of AI was very good.
Okay, so is this some grammatical style that I'm just unaware of:

> where he has worked for more than decade

I would have expected an "a" or something before decade.

Meanwhile, over at theverge they have:

> employed by Google for more than a decade

Which is what I would have thought would be the grammatically correct form.

Okay, so the overall structure of the article is "man does thing then decides he maybe should not have done the thing". It doesn't really feel like it's adding anything meaningful to the conversation. At the very least theverge has Hinton's twitter response to the nytimes article, which feels like it expands the conversation to: "man regrets choices, but thinks large corporation we're all familiar with is doing okayish". That actually feels like a bit of news.

Over the years, I've been led to believe that NYTimes is a significant entity when it comes to news. However, I've already seen coverage and discussion of the current AI environment that's 1000x better on HN, reddit, and youtube.
It "responded" immediately to the "command" (an onboard automatic trigger) and the explosive charges ruptured the tanks instantly. However, the explosive charges which ruptured the tanks didn't cause the vehicle to disintegrate immediately, as it was stronger than anticipated and at a high altitude with lower wind force. (No one has flown a rocket of this construction and size before.) The flight was, however, pretty well terminated at that point (the FT in FTS).

They will be adding more explosives for the future to ensure structural failure.
Our industry is the same. Example: "Individual authentication systems are often insecure, so lets pool all our permission management under the umbrella of two or three huge companies that manage all authentication for everything in the entire world via mechanisms like OIDC."

We apparently like to trade noticeably frequent (but still fairly infrequent) small failures for rare catastrophic failures. The key here is that these rare catastrophic failures are rare enough that we can pretend they won't happen. Enough time goes by between incidents that we have time to forget and claim ignorance.

Eventually humanity will pool all risk in one basket so big that when it breaks we will go extinct. The end.

The last two methods--disabling ignition and disabling fuel injection--can be defeated by bringing your own ECU and / or other chips so that your key unlocks everything.

That could even be quick, depending on the make and model of the car.

The next step is to make all components work only if they can verify the ECU is the right one via the cryptographic solution du jour.

But this also complicates replacing wear components like coil packs, which now have to be tied to a specific vehicle, and can be defeated with enough part swaps anyways.

Physical security is hard.
There is another Minecraft-like called Vintage Story, which I like a lot. I love the effort that the Minetest team is making but the game's development doesn't seem to be going anywhere as of right now due to a lack of direction. I feel being a game that is fully open source is not doing any favors.

I don't know if it's possible under license but it might be able to pick up some steam if a large, for-profit mod came along.

They're relatively useless for other purposes. Eg, gold is rare, heavy and malleable. In situations where you need those qualities other options exist, like lead. It has the advantage of not oxidizing, so it makes for great jewelry.

But all of that is extremely contextual. If it turns out there's a huge reserve of it somewhere, it will crash in value. Or if things crash badly enough there may be other things to worry about. Eg, a community that desperately needs water is probably more interested in pipes than gold.

> King Charles III has immense powers on paper, but if he ever tried to actually wield them – with the possible exception of highly unusual circumstances, such as a constitutional crisis not of his own making – he would soon find himself deprived of them.

If he had sufficient popular support from the armed forces and a enough of the general public he might manage it.

The likely outcome though would be a considerable loss of support.
No doubt. And honestly where I am at wouldn't be considered rural. There are farms 5 minutes down the road from me but we're comfortably suburban.

One thing people need to keep in mind these days is that some folks seek out the most rural places because they don't want to be bothered. Some of them have something to hide too.

It's a tradeoff, because good ventilation - ideally just open a window - also means heat is leaking out of the house, which costs money (and co2 emissions) to restore.

There's cyclic systems, but I live in a neighbourhood where some houses were equipped with it; on the proper setting, it was too loud so people turned it down, then people got sick from high CO2 levels in their house.
This is what it says in the report about cloud gaming:

> In relation to cloud gaming services, Microsoft has a combination of assets that we consider is difficult for other cloud gaming service providers to match. By owning Windows, the OS for which the vast majority of PC games are designed, Microsoft could stream games from Windows servers without having to pay a Windows licensing fee or adapt games designed for Windows to an alternative OS. By having Xbox Cloud Gaming and Azure, Microsoft has both a short-term and a longer-term solution to host cloud gaming, leveraging its large and well distributed global cloud infrastructure to stream its games without having to pay a fee to third-party cloud platforms. And by having an existing console ecosystem, Microsoft has a range of popular games that it can offer. As such, we consider that Microsoft has a strong position in cloud gaming services and will remain an important competitor as the market expands and evolves.

Essentially, they have a larger foothold in cloud gaming than any other competitor, and by controlling the software and some of the most popular platforms for gaming, they have a vast advantage over other opponents to the merger, e.g. Sony.

Which makes sense. While I don't expect cloud gaming to overtake traditional local gaming in the short term, allowing Microsoft to buy some of the most popular franchises out there and the largest US publisher, may create an artificial behemoth in the field, impossible to overcome.
The only real solution is the passage of data privacy laws

AFAIK governments empower specific agencies and groups with qualified immunity. How would such laws be enforced if an agency has immunity?

The only real solution is the passage of data privacy laws

Even your own example — a whistleblower talking to a journalist — illustrates that the fear is not of people who abide by laws, but people and organizations that don't care about the laws.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be laws. But like almost everything involving human beings, the solution is not an if-then binary choice.

You have laws, but you also have mitigations.

Detection of batteries in waste streams
I suspect most of us would like that, but it doesn't seem feasible. Detection of AI text is incredibly difficult, and false positives would be a huge stain on the user base. Can you imagine posting a thoughtful comment, then having your user banned for a false positive calling you out as an AI? I would find that quite offensive and I don't know if anything could be done to reverse the negative effect it would have on me in regards to how I view HN.

Mass surveillance helped the UK Counter Terrorism Police identify Russian spies Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov in Salisbury investigation who were trying to kill a family of dissidents.

Granted, the website is dedicated to mass surveillance in the IT. But then think, generally speaking, is the mass surveillance on some reasonable level really so bad? It's helping identifying Russian soldiers who are committing war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine. It helps preserve the free and democratic society rather than creates a road to dystopia. Of course, I'm speaking of some reasonable levels, not of something like real-time client device scanning. It doesn't make any sense and it would simply not work.

> Microsoft hasn't changed their anti-competitive behaviour.

And the biggest evidence of that is that MS still uses their monopoly to step over Linux and other OSes at every chance:

> We found that the Microsoft Cloud Remedy had several shortcomings: [..] Microsoft would not have to supply Activision’s full range of games to providers that may decide to operate using a non-Windows PC operating system (eg Linux)

They literally would only allow competitors to gain access to Activision's catalogue if they promised to use it with Windows and only Windows.
I'm sure Be and others are having flashbacks. I am, at least.

And the worst part is that the EC would have very likely bent over and accepted this. Now I will never know, since the UK rejecting it makes it toxic.

The issue with heat exchangers and the like is noise on the one hand (can be suppressed of course), having it on the right setting (not too high if there's few people, not too low if there's many), and keeping the conduits clean (dust, moisture and heat is a great combo for some).
LunarVim as a Python IDE
I interpreted Musk's comment to reflect the fact that rockets generally will be destroyed if the tanks lose pressurization and/or the rocket tumbles. The (load bearing) tank walls usually cannot support major side loads. The Starship stack needs to be a lot stronger than "usual" rockets to withstand the rotational forces and aerodynamic forces involved in landing them.

Which is why we transfer small amounts to the wasabi hot-wallet, coinjoin, and then spend. Each spend is then joined with another spend to obfuscate every purchase.

It requires careful budgeting for future purchases (as the coin-join takes time).

Trezor now has experimental support for directly coin-joining bitcoin that is stored on the cold-wallet, but I don't think anyone should trust it.
That's much less convincing for the FTS in particular, which needs to be reliable even (or especially) in early testing. Since you expect everything else to go wrong, you need to be able to stop it from going wrong on top of people.

The HQLA assets in LCR calculation are priced at "fair value" (see your footnote 1 for example) which is the present market value. The haircut is not there to account for mark-to-market losses but for potential losses due to lower market depth.

This is explicitly stated in the Basel 3 rules

https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/chapter/LCR/30.htm?infor...

30.40 footnote 1, for example.

You can be insolvent and still meet LCR because LCR is based on average 30 days outflow. So if you have 600B of liabilities and 300B of assets but all those assets are HQLA 1 and your net outflow for LCR is calculated at 100B you have a 300% LCR and yet are very much insolvent.
