As a one-time developer of consumer IoT hardware I’m divided on this. In principle everything should respect the DNS servers provided by your local DHCP server. In practice some of those DNS servers are hilariously bad, because they’re operated by ISPs, who will happily highjack every single DNS query to inject a message about how you’re approaching your bandwidth quota, or just outright ignore TTLs that were dropped to allow clean switchover between providers. We ended up hardcoding known good DNS servers because otherwise we’d get complaints from customers when things stopped working, and no amount of saying it’s not our fault would avoid being branded as useless crap.
Is it your intention to discourage the free world from arming Ukraine? Because that’s usually the intention of those who push this narrative.

I wonder, too, if you would be doing the same thing if you saw a russian missile flying towards you.
Consensys! Thank you.

Yep. That was it. I went nuts the other day trying to remember the name of the first 'Real UNIX' I was using about 12-18 months after I started with Coherent.

After Consensys, I used Novell's Unixware, Sun's SunOS (Solaris 1), then Solaris 2, and finally Linux.

Please educate me, oh Cool Guy Steve.

Government debt is usually denominated in the currency that government issues. They can print themselves out of debt at any time. At the cost of inflation. And that currency getting devalued against the world's trading currency, the US dollar.

So if the country in question has a huge and diversified economy, this is less of an issue. And if the country in question can print more US dollars, and has never defaulted on its debt in centuries, I don't see how they would let that go.

The actual risk to an investor in US government debt of not getting paid is zero, unless their name is China and they start WW3.

Now, does this mean US government debt is a good investment? That's a different question.
While most C compilers ignore this the size in C can definitely be used for checking and this is intended, e.g. see the C2X charter: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2086.htm

And compilers do this already to some degree:

Dunno about other states, but in Oregon, it is explicitly forbidden to coast in neutral downhill

https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_811.495

> A person commits the offense of unlawful coasting on a downgrade if the person is the driver of a vehicle on a downgrade and the person coasts with the gears or transmission of the motor vehicle in neutral or with the clutch disengaged.

However, this only refers to going downhill. It says nothing about approaching a red light or any other scenario where you might consider choosing to coast.
because only one of those four has a PR email address that only responds with poop emojis.
Unless you are clearly making the customer aware that you are doing so, I think it's slimey to do so. It's very "fake it till you make it" to advertise a service that you only assume you can pick up as needed.

Yes, mostly through the ideas of Edward Bernays and Ivy Lee.
The list of things they asked for seems to be basically "everything" - seems like a dragnet approach.
> just because they aren't now doesn't mean the US's military intervention is to thank for that.

The alternative was that the entire peninsula would be "North Korea". And then there would never be any chance of formulating a functional democratic society.
You presuppose that posturing is never dangerous or immoral.

Posturing that you are willing to nuke the economy is bad, even if it's fake.
> Becauae the UK is and was at the time a Rome Statute party, the ICC did have investigate British potential violations in Iraq.

Some of those possible violations were no doubt awful, but as usual the national leadership layer of the winning sides was untouched. I still have hopes that Tony Blair will one day face the punishment he deserves.

> And now you have two servers to administer.

If you use even crude tools such as clusterssh, managing a bunch of machines isn’t linearly harder than managing one.

While tape renders itself easily to be offline storage (it’s offline as soon as you eject it after all), you can have that with remote servers that pull data to back it up instead of receiving pushed data. If no server can push data to any other server, only pull from them, a ransomware attack becomes a lot harder.

Also, while tape in a warehouse (or on the desk) is offline, tapes in the robot are no more difficult to destroy than hard disks. They are just slower.
That would likely require a return to mandatory service.
Are you just trying to create employment for yourself? This is amazingly bad advice. I literally get hired to fix these setups by people that take this approach.

Yes, it's good to periodically review query plans.

But designing and planning for data retrieval is part of a design process. And it's easy. Even Django since 2003 allowed you to define indexes inside your models. Got a 100m record table and you're adding a column you want to query by interatively? Rollout an index. This is normal day-to-day software development...

The write overhead is wild speculation. 99% of business are read heavy.

Don't minifiers convert these anyway?

const a = 1;
let b = 2;
console.log(a, b);

bun build --minify a.js // bundles this to:

var o=1,l=2;console.log(o,l);

It's not even using const or let, it's flattened these multiple statements into one 'var' statement
Using "the mainstream media" as a bogeyman was tired 20 years ago, and it's even more tired these days. We can view Elon Musk's own depredations plainly on Twitter itself, with no "mainstream media" involved, and the evidence of Twitter's decline (that just so happens to correlate with Musk's takeover) can be observed directly on Twitter as well, with blue-checked right wing fruitcakes boosted to the top of every timeline, shrieking about trans people and "white replacement" in an attempt to foment violent hatred against the current crop of undesirables. But please, continue to delude yourself into thinking that "mainstream" media is the problem here.
Yup.

Which is why it's so annoying when Tesla recalls hit the news. So many people treat it like a huge event, when really, it's just a small software update.
An interesting thing that no one (I think/hope) has mentioned: Shorts are just glorified videos. Mind you, I have only watched less than a handful of them, more than a couple of months ago but here it goes: The URL is something like youtube.com/shorts/w12jfk. That last part is the random ID YouTube assigns. If you change the link to a video link, youtube.com/watch?v=w12jfk, then you get the normal interface. (The ID is randomly typed)
Maybe a bookmarklet, or something, could make things bearable, but there still giving clicks to Shorts, probably.

Edit: But the post is about Stories, huh... A thing I hardly remember it existed. So much for a first comment.
EU regulators were convinced it was an issue. And do many drivers follow you so distantly?
They don't care.

The goal for all VCs is to make large returns from startups, Otherwise they underperform. VCs know that 90% of these startups fail and will make sure that they are highly unlikely to lose. Even if it means dumping on retail at higher prices via selling SAFEs in 'crowdfunding campaigns'.
That's why satire tends to be exaggerated to an extreme degree.

Because that's what Coinmint dangled over Massena village and town administrators to coerce them into handing over the Alcoa property and power allocations without knowing what they were doing.

I sure wonder where those "150 jobs" are that Coinmint said they'd hire here.
They do. (Source: talked to Google adtech engineers.)
Great, keep the recipe under wraps, never allow it to be manufactured abroad, and only allow hospitals to distribute it. Otherwise this is just going to become the frontline antibiotic given whenever somebody gets so little as a cough in most of the world :/. The problem with our existing antibiotics was how generously they were given out to anybody with any symptom.

I don't mean to pick on you specifically, but this kind of approach doesn't fit the way I like to work.

For example, just because the manifest.json worked doesn't mean it is correct - is it free of issues (security or otherwise)?

I would argue that every system in production today seemed to "just work" when it was built and initially tested, and yet how many serious issues are in the wild today (security or otherwise)?

I prefer to take a little more time solving problems, gaining an understanding of WHY things are done certain ways, and some insight into potential problems that may arise in the future even if something seems to work at first glance.

Now I get that you are just talking about a small chrome extension that maybe you are only using for yourself... but scaling that up to anything beyond that seems like a ticking time bomb to me.
Its crazy how little this country has really changed since 1970, when you remove the superficial fluff like iphones or flat screen tv. Take a neighborhood in socal. It might be full of dingbat apartments. 50 years ago in 1973 it probably looked exactly the same since thats when those apartments where built. Go back another 50 years though, and you have a former spanish ranchero with cattle, oil derricks, or fruit orchards depending on what block of southern californian suburbia you are considering. The world was growing and changing rapidly then basically stalled out. much more restrictive zoning separating degrees of use (e.g. apartment versus a home) versus type of use (residential vs industrial) came in to replace redlining in effort to limit movement of the working poor into certain neighborhoods so as not to affect real estate valuations, and now we have our world today, full of 50+ year old apartments and 70+ year old single story "starter" californian homes going for over $1000 a square foot thanks to our inability to add more housing to an in demand area.
Nobody went to jail, the united states is primarily run by business interests since the 80s, and facism is alive and well in the states. It sounds to me like they got exactly what they wanted, just had to be patient.

I use APKPure. I have the suspicion that it must be some kind of malware/spying operation, but I couldn't find any proof so I kept it. Another HN user [1] followed up on a comment on mine on the topic and they didn't find anything particularly strange either.

I have physical access to the devices and I can also see every device that is registered in DHCP making queries to Unbound. Unless a specific application is leaking requests to 443 I can say with certainty that they are using my DNS server. People on my network appreciate the ad blocking and I would hear about it if that stopped working.

[Edit] I should also add that I do not block VPN's. If someone wants to manually bypass my DNS they can do so with a VPN client. Perhaps some day all the browsers will start creating VPN tunnels to random CDN's on 443.
Not really Trump was planning the same thing a few years ago.

Most annoying thing is blue checks being boosted to the top of every thread. Especially since most blues in my replies are either scams or harassment. So I just hide all blues and tell them to pay me $8 to be visible, lol.
Fantastic talk, and I'm just 12 minutes in on a 1h14m video.

Take the Cartesian product, in fact, of those factors. I want location isolation, isolation from application layer problems, isolation from storage layer problems, isolation from media failure.

Edit:

They do RAID4 on the tape level. 5 tapes, one of them the parity tape.

When that fails: Reconstruction at sub-tape level. "We don't really have data loss."

"We make the backups as complicated and take as long as they need. The restores have to be quick and automatic. Recovery should be stupid, fast and simple."
It's not going to happen. You couldn't get enough able-bodied people to show up or communities to enforce it. The ideals that made this possible for Vietnam will die with the boomers.
yea, against self incrimination, as mentioned
People don’t owe crypto a ‘good attitude’. The only justifiable attitude toward it is a healthy scepticism until it proves to be anything more than a glorified pump and dump scheme. So far, it hasn’t cleared that bar in over a decade of trying.
>the Universe is not infinitely old

You don't know that. Claiming that there is a start to the universe is an absurd, religious ex nihilo argument.
Yes, that's exactly how it works, and yes, I install my banking app this way. It's not an issue from my perspective but I can see why Google doesn't like it.

I don't have a Google account and am unable to obtain Play Store APKs any other way, so Aurora Store fills an important niche for me.

I guess I will hold off on updating any Play Store apps until this is fixed or I can find another software/workaround.

As the number of cliffs increases, so does the likelihood that you will hit a second cliff in the middle of fixing the first one. At some point you hit a Kessler Syndrome situation where people start quitting and the people who should have fixed the problem in the first place aren't around anymore.

Nobody wants to stick around for a lecture they can see coming.
Actually, it very commonly is an all-or-nothing process. It doesn't matter how robust the lock on your front door is, if there is no lock on the back door, or if your window can be smashed. This especially true when it comes to cryptographic security, which is the subject at hand.

I suspect the source of your confusion comes from the idea of differential security, which is approximately "I don't need the best lock; I just need a better lock than the other guy". Again, note that this does not apply to cryptographic signing of packages. Note also that the question of whether or not your system actually is more secure than the other guy's is very much a binary distinction: it either is or it isn't. You can quantify this quite easily by counting vulnerabilities, or by analyzing the degree of access gained for each vulnerability that is encountered.

So yeah, it's one of the few things that tends to be all-or-nothing (up to some threat model, of course).
Comments said other manufacturers got it wrong also.
Yes, that's correct, and yes it's a massive violation of the terms. Aurora Store also lets you use your own Google account, which is also outside of Google's terms. But the only way to get apps from the Google Play Store without installing the entire set of Google Play Services is this, so the entire setup is outside of Google's terms

I made it a point to NAT redirect all outbound requests to UDP 53 in our enterprise back to our enterprise DNS server. It would sometimes piss off our engineers, when they realized 8.8.8.8 was somehow resolving our internal DNS names, but if they came to us and nicely explained their use-case then we excluded them from the NAT rule.
We should have those courses ready within the next year. Multivariable Calculus should be available in another few weeks, then Probability & Statistics at the end of July, then Methods of Proof, followed by Discrete Math, and Abstract Algebra later this fall. But courses in Number Theory, Graph Theory, Combinatorics, Real Analysis, etc. are all planned.
The adapter and LoRa have a drastically fewer parameters, so one might expect that forward + backward is roughly 2x the cost of forward.

Then (as far as I know), in contrast to generation, training is done on the entire output of the transformer (so all tokens of the full input) rather than serially token-by-token (in the RNN days, this was called teacher-forcing), so that may give you a significant boost in the tokens per second rate over generation.
Totally. GPT-4 can already do this, untuned, on niche languages and libraries. One of the main problems is still that you don't know when it's hallucinating a function or whatever though.

To rephrase, criticism/review of your code doesn't reflect a value judgment of you as an individual any more than an artist's patron asking for more blue-ish tones reflects a value judgment of the artist.
