Well, I'd respect it more if the monarch had a few less of these powers.

They don't even make the monarch get a driver's licence or pay taxes because laws don't apply to them. (Instead they voluntarily pay taxes and don't speed.)

Maybe they could try writing some of that down in a constitution.
No. You will get fake answers from the dishonest, with the youngest possible age that will be accepted without too many questions. As for the honest ones, starting something early does not necessarily mean that they kept on doing it, or more importantly, it does not mean that they learned more than others about technologies that are fairly new.

There are of course outliers, like competitive programmers who have successful software careers, but you can find them easily by other means.

Any interview question, where the answer cannot be verified fairly quickly, if used as a criteria for hiring, will get you plenty of liars and a few good people.
Author here. "Secrets in the perimeter instead of the core" is an interesting point. To my mind it can just as equally be a disadvantage - I'd usually consider the core more trusted and less exposed.

When deploying client certificate auth with HTTP load balancers, etc. you basically have to have the LB add a X-Client-Certificate: ... header and then trust that it's telling the truth. This means a LB compromise basically compromises everything, since it can just lie, whereas something like (for example) AWS's HMAC-based signature system (where the substance of a request is signed using a shared secret unknown to LBs) for its APIs wouldn't be.

So I actually find this a compelling argument against client certificates in practice. It's actually a curious example of how the security of client certificates might be worse in practice, even though theoretically superior on the client-to-server leg, because of the backend implications it creates.
Weird, it's always worked perfectly for me. Now that I think about it I haven't updated in a long time, and after this I probably won't.
Govt don't need to break encryption technically. They just need to have lawful orders issued to the app or platform companies to comply to provide the information about the targets (1-1 chats or group chats). Question is - can the companies comply? Do the companies themselves have backdoors so they can comply? Btw, there are laws on the books that say they ought to have mechanisms such that they can comply.

Yes. From the perspective of the bank, the deposit is the liability and the loan is the asset. People online always get this wrong because they look at it from the perspective of the individual/business on the other end of the transaction.

> Adding a MIDI port to the Amiga would have been trivial

The Amiga is unsuitable for serious MIDI work because of a hardware design flaw. There are like 4 timers and the timer interrupts were at a higher priority than the serial port interrupt. There was only a 1-byte buffer for the serial port, so it was possible to lose data if one of the higher priority timers fired at the wrong time.[1]

more details would be helpful. which countries pay well and are easy to get into? china for example is no longer on that list. finding a school online that is trustworthy is not easy. there are a lot of scams out there trying to exploit people looking for a job like this. you pretty much have to go there first to look at the place before you commit to a contract. this is not the kind of thing to do when you are already under pressure.

also, moving is expensive. living as an expat in a foreign country is not that cheap (you'll spend more than the locals). i believe there are areas in the US where you can live cheaply too. finding one that is cheap but yet has decent internet may be a challenge though. (my gut suggests to look for places with community ran internet service)
It was pretty magical. This was 2003 (20 years ago then) in a massive soviet-era concert hall.

It was the first time it saw the film and the live aspect left me a lot of questions whether this is somehow a completely different experience from the actual film.

I've since watched it at home many times and the live-band aspect is obviously immense but the music was pretty close to the film.

I attended the press conference as well and one of his answers really struck me.

He was asked about how he composes film scores and his answer included something along the lines: "I only compose based on the script, I never watch any of the footage before the composition is finished."

I think it took quite a few years actually.
There's a subtle art to telling geographic lies that ultimately don't matter. Overpasses which go over a few extra dead ends on paper but miss in reality. Any underground passageway is easy simple to fudge so long as it connects the right ends. An extra footpath in a cemetery full of of winding unmarked footpaths. A spare non-public road in a closed off industrial facility. So many ways
> the Fed has been providing most of the liquidity to the FDIC in the last 2 months

I’ve seen this claim from AEI folks [1], and while I’m listening, I’m not (yet) buying it. It looks more like the BTFP [2][3]. (EDIT: It’s not the BTFP. Something screwy here, but unclear how much.)

> the FRC deal, FDIC is giving JPM a 50B term loan, which is most likely again borrowed from the Fed

Source? The press release notes a loss-sharing arrangement. No loan. (EDIT: there is a loan.)

Great writing! I love how this book gets to the point right from the start, answering one of my questions about deep learning (how did this start?) in the very first sentence:

"The current period of progress in artificial intelligence was triggered when Krizhevsky et al.[2012] showed that an artificial neural network (..) could beat complex state-of-the-art image recognition methods by a huge margin (..)"
I think the political neutrality of the monarchy is underrated. Yes, we can argue about the pedantic details of whether the King is truly 100% "neutral" on every issue, and the continued existence of the monarchy of itself is a political question, but the fact is that the monarch stays out of politics: from Brexit to Scottish independence to inflation to the small boats crisis to the NHS, the King doesn't tell us his opinion and he keeps his nose out of things.

Which is great! There's enormous value in having a ceremonial national institution which isn't politicised and doesn't split opinion along the typical partisan lines. It's a part of our national identity, something that we all have in common, something that unites us - and in these polarised times we desperately need more things that unite us.

If we replace the monarch with an elected head of state, even a "powerless" and "ceremonial" one, there's no way it won't lead to more polarisation and division.

The other good argument I've heard for keeping the monarchy is that abolishing the monarchy means rewriting the British constitution from the ground up. You can be sure that whichever party is in power will take this opportunity to subtly tweak things to favour themselves. Do you trust them to do it fairly?

Better the devil you know.
One could claim the contagion was the erosion of trust in smaller banks.
I think chronic over-usage is a more serious concern. Taking even handful of pills is not that likely to result in permanent damage (unlike paracetamol). Up to 100 mg/kg shouldn't be that risky (so 20 400mg pills for somebody who weighs 80kg)
> They use the printf "%f" float format conversion so `printf "%f" 2e3` will work just fine, whereas using something that definitively is not a float makes printf exit with an error code as it fails to format the value as float, failing this check.

You are of course correct (sorry to sound like a language model), I missed the printf.

Quite the opposite approach would be better. Tiebreaks only happened because players are actively seeking them for various reasons, playing to 14 draws in previous matches. Set the formula to 5 wins in classical (like it used to be), and it would be a real chess championship event. Players would no longer seek draws hoping for some luck in the tiebreaks.
Some countries are known for falsifying statistics -- Argentina and China, for example. Chile is not. That means that if the official GDP/capita of Chile and Argentina are about the same, the real ones must be very different.

(And they aren't the same. Chile's is a lot higher at the moment.)

Because the inverse reaction is empirically known to be exothermic, I was initially perplexed at how this could even be possible, until I read some of the other articles about microdroplets. (I’m not sure I understand the paper’s proposed mechanism TBH as it seems to be claiming to be exothermic based on an unshared simulation run).

It seems like a bunch of Stanford researchers in this lab are studying the whole hydrogen peroxide microdroplet thing, which is what makes this possible, because peroxide is a reactive specie that’ll make a lot of regularly endothermic reactions exothermic when used instead of water. But why do microdroplets produce peroxide when that is itself endothermic?

I found a good explanation of this phenomenon (seems to be a hot topic in the Chemistry world in the past couple years) how it may actually be a reaction between ozone and water in https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2022/sc/d1sc0...

So my takeaway TLDR is, this may actually be a reaction between O3, N2, and H20. Or between H202 and N2. Ozone is not highly concentrated in air and is the limiting reagent (note that this experiment produced very little ammonia). So this seems unscaleable/impractical without producing large quantities of Ozone.

I’m an academia-pessimist and it seems like while in the past year a decent amount of research has come out debunking this whole “spontaneous peroxide” thing (it’s still cool, but it’s not a silver bullet and it makes results like these less impactful knowing it’s actually ozone powering the whole thing) the original groups of spontaneous peroxide researchers are pumping out as much microdroplet research as possible before everybody accepts it’s dependent on ozone. The newer papers should at least propose this mechanism in the name of intellectual honesty.
At a high level all games depend on a great deal of practice to excel. Chess is not distinct in that sense.
If production gets easier, I’m guessing the competitive bar will raise to a point where you still can’t do this with little effort. There may be an adjustment period where you can, but I think it will be temporary. An arms race will kick off with the new tools.

> you should be worried about the case where inflation continues to rise and the unrealized losses from these bonds increases and may cause a much more consequential default

No, you shouldn’t. Duration is stress tested at the larger banks. The smaller banks lobbied to be exempted from liquidity coverage ratios in 2017 and got it, which is a large part of why we are in this mess. There is no evidence the Fed is constrained by bank balance sheets. (This could change, regionally, with CRE write downs. But again, money being destroyed.)
The window doesn't need to be cracked open to use a "slim jim", at least on older vehicles.

I once accidentally locked myself out of the 2000 Honda Civic I used to own. The engine was still running, and I didn't want it to run out of gas or be late to work. I popped the driver's side door window trim off so I could see how the mechanism worked, and then improvised a "slim jim" out of some wire from my fence. It was disappointingly easy.

A huge amount of work is dedicated to busting cheaters. Getting into the minutia of exactly how this is done is outside the scope of this post, but the most obvious one is correlation. Run a correlation check between a suspected cheater's moves and various engines - and see how they matchup. Another would be time expenditure. A guy spending the same time for an only-move and a superhuman tactical sequence is probably not legit. And there's dozens of other metrics you can use to determine 'cheatiness', with the end result being near 100% certainty on whether somebody is or isn't legit.

I'm relatively high rated on chess.com and only run into a cheater every once in a blue moon. Invariably his account tends to be closed, and points refunded shortly thereafter. This wasn't always the case, 'back in the day' chess.com had a major problem with cheaters, but it's clear that at some point they made a serious effort to start flushing out the cheaters - and it's been a big success.

> Why are client certificates rarely used? There are likely several reasons, but probably the most obvious one is that the UI for handling them has been truly abysmal.

While the UI is bad, I think the main reason client cents aren’t adopted is due to its cost and specifically recurring costs. For b2c stuff, users don’t want to purchase certificates just to authenticate. And they certainly don’t want to repurchase them every year or so. Imagine if a web site had an $80 annual authentication fee that didn’t even go to the site.

Way back, I wished there would be some sort of government issuance that would cover the costs and negotiate with standards people to allow perpetual client certs that never expire (good enough for bitcoin wallets).

Interestingly, the US government does do this for employees through the Homeland Security Presidential Directive [0] where all federal staff have a client certificate issued and stored in a physical card for use.

The UI is still bad, but you can use it to authenticate to federal websites.

> cannot maintain the standard … when the boomer generation retires

But doesn’t AI fundamentally change this all? I can already see Japan rejoicing that the demographic curve just became a lot less threatening.

People it seems, with the arrival of the robots in the knowledge workforce, have shifted from an economic asset class to a potential liability / efficiency bottleneck in the definition of capitalism and that means change. It means the demographic predicted rise of India for example is not as preordained as it once was.

In this new world where few people own most of the assets and regular humans as economic factors are diminishing …

No, the BTFP is a separate line on the weekly lending release H.4.1. The lending to FDIC is entirely separate (on the line after).

Also, FDIC bridge banks are not eligible for BTFP, because they are not eligible for the primary discount window. They are banks in default…

Agree with this. I find it bizarre that people seem to shit talk actual work so much.

In my circles, it used to be that people considered office work a "cushy job". It was clearly recognised as being out of the ordinary and special.

Now it's like it's flipped and somehow anything that actually does anything real is for the proles.

I barely know anyone that can even like, build a crappy basic table. That would make me really disappointed in myself. It's like everyone is trapped in a fake virtual economy pretending it all matters.

There's this wonderful passage in in Shaw's letters when he expressed the same opinion:

>By all means put Mozart in his place; but don't be led into thinking that it was not a very high place. And don't read his scores; sing and hear them. If you look at his blessed old dominant sevenths,they will never be anything but dominant sevenths to you. If you listen to them only, you will sometimes find yourself going to the score to find what a strange chord it is you have heard, and being astonished and infuriated to find that it is as plain and platitudinous a seventh on paper as anything in "When Other Lips."
As you can see, the point was not "paying for things you like", if you could buy them and they're yours. The problem is paying an ongoing subscription where they can pull the plug at any time.

And owning your data and your tools isn't a theoretical or fringe concern. It is a central aspect of many people's lives, with wide practical consequences.
Again, to normal people it meant nothing. To people who tweeted a lot and were into twitter (ie “twitter people”) it was important, but not in the real world.

For the vast majority of people who just read twitter, it meant nothing.
> But so far this has seemed... pretty orderly? No depositors have been wiped out, no contagion has spread.

Making disorder the enemy is something of a distraction tactic. General rate of growth matters a lot more and much has been sacrificed in the name of trying to make the market look pretty at the cost of keeping the incentives properly aligned. Disorder is more of a code word for the wealthy and powerful being at risk of losing their social standing. The rest of us should be worried about general wealth and prosperity. Which, I might add, is maximised by the occasional dose of collapse in badly designed systems. Joseph Gentile has been given 2 goes now at wiping out his creditors; there was no need for that - the 2008 bailouts just gave him cover to go and get people wiped out a 2nd time.

The real question now is who is actually eating these losses? Is it old people with pensions? Because while it would be karmic justice to start wiping out elderly investors because they were the ones with political control ignoring all the problems building over the decades, but that would still be a huge problem.

They should have let 2000 or 2008 play out to their natural conclusions to minimise the overall damage. This one is a bunch of people going bankrupt in ways that could easily be predicted a decade ago. These losses have been created by Fed policy. And we'll probably find when the dust settles that they have once again stuffed everything up, there is no reason to believe this time is different. There have been bank crisises to safely assume that this time will not be different unless, miraculously, hindsight shows they changed tack.

Author here. There needn't be any cost for client certificates, since client certificates are frequently issued by custom in-house CAs for free. A more pertinent example of what you're talking about would be the use of S/MIME email encryption - I believe you could pay to get a proper certificate from a trusted CA for your email address to use S/MIME - I have no idea if any CA still does this or how many people do so. It's not something I've ever encountered personally, at least.

This actaully happened last year. The then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was in a spot of political bother and it looked like the then Queen was going to sack him, as she must (according to the conventions that comprise the UK's constitution) dismiss any prime minister who cannot command the confidence of the House of Commons.

Johnson didn't want to go, so he announced (via a leak to a tame newspaper, another part of our unwritten constitution) that he would advise the Queen to dissolve parliament, in order that new elections be held. He hoped to bring rebellious Tory MPs in line by threatening those in marginal seats with defeat, and those in secure seats with the prospect of a lengthy spell in opposition.

The Palace put paid to this plan by informing the PM that the Queen would be unavailable to meet with him, in the event of him perhaps wanting to to her in order to dissolve parliament.

And the rest is history!
It would have been great if the KEYGEN element's semantics meant

- generating a fresh keypair of a certain strength and persistence of the newly generated key if a keypair is not associated with a specific domain
- selection of the keypair from the persistence store using a browser's UI dialog if a keypair is already associated with the specific domain, with an option to regenerate the keypair

That would have been a good declarative alternative for password-based-authentication.

It would have enabled client-side id generation and simplified user registration and other authentication flows, including perhaps keyrotation.

I guess we should use webauthn now.
