> I think piracy is much closer to dying than people think it is.

I sincerely hope you are wrong because it engenders certain things which would indicate we have a very rough road ahead as a people.

Being able to record and save historically significant things and communicate about them when they are not offered to the general public in a way that can be saved for posterity is an incredibly important thing because it documents your history. We are looking at a black hole for at least the last 20 years.

There are news pieces that happened which I know and others my age noticed, about which cannot be found anywhere on the internet anymore because of the DMCA being used to remove references to it. These were historically significant and details things which just are no longer available. Without supporting evidence, people with a benefit to do so argue it never happened (deceitfully); when it did.

Additionally, while they won't say this, and I am not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. The courts and any law passed by congress are required to have a legal authority that is based in one of the fundamental documents, which does not violate those documents (in any way).

Many of the judges ruling on the DMCA cases have failed to address the actual coercive and documented abuses this legislation has been used for over the short time its been upheld. The supreme court recently refused to hear a case about it, and the legislation appears to lack legal authority because its being used to thwart innovation, control and limit free speech and discussion and other things, in violation of our first amendment rights as people; and when there is a lack of basis for authority it becomes null and void (as Thomas Paine would say in 1776), or unconstitutional.

When its upheld and enforced despite lacking a basis of authority it calls into question important aspects of credibility of the courts and the rule of law, and whether we live in a democracy or actually in a fascist state. Incidentally, enforcing law without basis has been done historically in fascist states like for example East Germany before the wall came down.

That in its entirety is very concerning to me because this should never happen except in the latter; and that likely means a lot of death is ahead for almost all of us because those dynamics cause inevitable outcomes, as all intolerable and coercive acts enforced through law do eventually.
The Yuddites are going for purposeful exaggeration because discussing things in a nuanced manner won't get support quickly enough from people in power. Fear is a stronger immediate motivator than curiosity or distrust. The reality is that multiple AI systems will likely contradict eachother leading to systems collapse, killing thousands of people as power, transit, or trade systems shut down. It is of course a massive concern, but it isn't as scary as total extinction, and the fear is destruction on that scale will be ignored as an anomaly or simply an operation risk.

You have an extremely high risk dying in a vehicle collision but people dismiss the risk because it isn't immediately apparent that 40,000 people die every year in the U.S. from that very cause. Certain deadly events become common enough that they get ignored due to desensitization, or become categorized as individual and anecdotal tragedies because they aren't mass casualty events like a plane crash or a hotel collapsing. If a few thousand people die every quarter from AI lockups or failures that nobody could've predicted or prevented because the AI is fully operationally autonomous, it will be treated the same as vehicle deaths. And that is the true fear.
It's high time for Reddit to be buried. With the clout it already has, Apollo could probably start its own social media platform.

Reddit, like Twitter, does not seem to understand what Facebook and Instagram already know: For many people, the APP -IS- the platform.
What's interesting to me is that hydroelectric power generation pretty much dominates when it comes to over output per plant.

There are quite many browser-supported protocols which are not http or https, which can be used also for malicious purposes.

HTTPS is probably the only protocol which is guaranteed to show content from the claimed source.
That guy made a video about Techlore's video 8 months ago and didn't even watch the original video fully. I wouldn't trust his opinion.
I think most people who wanted large datasets got their data via pushshift. Pushshift was basically a guy who started out doing small things got so frustrated with the API that he eventually grew to maintaining large mirrors of Reddit content on Google cloud that people could access and query.
I don't know why anyone doing research would have used reddit's API instead of using pushshift.

Pushshift has been shutdown by reddit earlier this year, so probably they are getting hammered by LLM folks trying to get the data now since they killed pushshift without understanding how it fit into the universe.

Reddit is completely stupid if they think people are going to pay for "enterprise API" access... pushshift existed because the API was trash and the only real option is to dump the entire dataset into something usable. The reason reddit's data was used so much is because there was an SQL API via pushshift and you could also download archives of the entire dataset at one go.
I want to illustrate how easy it is to figure out the game: https://i.imgur.com/ezLVvo4.png

And that's the reason why this article is geopolitically naïve beyond comprehension. Morocco and Algeria does not like each other and can end up fighting tomorrow. Libya is a hot mess after French and Italians weren't able to hold their impulses and Egypt is under military government.

Indeed, really you would need four tank cars (104 m³).

Edit edit: forgot to convert for thermal efficiency again, make that 7kg of uranium for a PWR cycle, and 124 grams in a fast reactor.
On the subscription side, I think it's an issue as it moves the control away from the consumer when doing those upgrades. With the older, one-time purchase upgrade model, which has since fallen out of favour; I could evaluate once a year whether the updated product was worth the additional cost. With a subscription model, there's a chance I could end up funding the development of features that I neither want nor need.
Please dont make it a mini-usb connector, I have only just managed to purge the last of the electronics that require this standard from my home.

Learn to write. Write anything, not just code.

Writing in some sense, is a general form of programming.
For numerous technical reasons, ADS-B itself is not suitable for low-flying small UAS. Technical reasons include but are not limited to the following:

- Lack of support for the 1090 MHz ADS-B channel on any consumer handheld devices

- Cost, Size, Weight and Power (CSWaP) requirements of ADS-B transponders on CSWaP constrained UA

- Limited bandwidth of both uplink and downlink, which would likely be saturated by large numbers of UAS, endangering manned aviation

Understanding these technical shortcomings, regulators worldwide have ruled out the use of ADS-B for the small UAS for which UAS RID and DRIP are intended.

I'm not sure it is a good idea to expend energy to move energy.
Understandable, given you’re probably on Android.

I took another look at RIF just in case my memory of it was out of date and the difference in quality between it and Apollo is massive. I’m doubling down on my original comment: Apollo is a truly special app and RIF (and likely others) are very generic clients.
Indeed that sounds like a fantastic machine. But still doesn't meets my battery goals. I really think that some of these mobile-soc-in-a-laptop devices should utilize the extra space they have and add on an extra battery. This one seems to have 45Whr. making it 99+WHr would have been much better IMO.
Show HN: Word2vec Algorithm in ~100sloc with NumPy
Here's a small demonstration of the fundamental aspects of the word-to-vec
algorithm. It's implemented in a single python script and depends only on a single text file for training.

It's not meant to be blazingly fast or anything, just a toy example to aid my understanding of how word vectors might be learnt from a corpus.
I'm not saying it is like that I'm saying there could be other factors invisible to us which close the door on low price/high volume plays.

You'd assume that she has more than enough smarts to think about such options if they were on the table in the first place.
I had a very similar issue with some AMD-based servers (bulldozer, I think) about ten years ago. There was a bug where Xen-based virtual machines could set a C-state on cores it was assigned, but for whatever reason it wasn't able to wake them up. It was fun trying to figure out what the heck was going on.

This hits home for me. I am a serial idea-writer-downer. Maybe its time to cold delete all my programming notes. And free my brain to focus on things that matter, and not an endless stream of unfinished side projects. Good read.
If those countries had much oil, we would have made sure those wells were pumping (notice how quick we rebuilt wells in Iraq?).

When solar is the new oil, there might be similar efforts to keep the panels illuminated.
This could also be a bookmarklet. That would make it more secure as bookmarklets only have access to the page you use them on.

Looking at the code, you can indeed run it as a bookmarklet. I went to https://www.example.com and typed this in the browser console:

s1=document.createElement('script'); s1.src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.0.slim.min.js'; document.head.appendChild(s1); s2=document.createElement('script'); s2.onload=()=>window.cssProReady(); s2.src='https://csspro.com/demo-build/mainnewnew.js'; document.head.appendChild(s2);

Boom! The tool is running.

So prefixing that line with "javascript:" and putting it into a bookmark would let you use it on any site you wish, simply by clicking the bookmark. Without having to install an extension.

Would be a good alternative the author could offer imho.
How would that work with VCS?

Wow, I recently saw some old car catalogues from similar era, cars and computers used to be so so expensive!
Congrats on launching! This looks great; everywhere I've worked has had a bad version of this built up ad hoc, so I can see this being really useful. I could see it working well with Retool and other low code tools effectively giving the operations and customer support teams better tooling to work with.
Rust to Assembly: Understanding the Inner Workings of Rust
Yep, but prototypes of (small, monochrome) LCD screens were created in the '60's, your $50,000 data point would have been probably mid-1980's, and the $100 lcd tv's probably happened in the late 2010's.

I wouldn't be surprised (if this humidity device actually works and can be bettered) that working regrigerator sized units will be availably in 2040 and be actually affordable by the 2070's.
I mean, hardware is cheap enough that any server of importance should be individually disposable.

Yeah, you can do stuff to maximize uptime but if it needs to stay up that badly you have to consider the case of the hardware needing to be turned off at some point.

> So, dont try to justify obvious flaw

I'm not, it's a bug and should be fixed. But I think if anything is powered for 3 years straight it's a bit concerning.

Otherwise you're liable to find things like that somebody started something by hand 2 years ago, and at a critical moment nobody quite remember what the command was.
> They aren't empty threats; Facebook briefly blocked news articles in Australia over a similar measure that required tech companies to pay publishers for news content. Google said it would pull its search engine from the country before a compromise was struck.

. . . and then they caved and paid Australian publishers in the face of typically Australian "don't let the door hit you on the way out" response.
This is what I’ve wanted for ages from browser dev tools. It’s now fairly standard to have hot refresh where the dev server uses websockets to control injecting changes and refreshing the browser when changes are made in the code files. I want to go the other way. If I tweak css in browser, have a way to write those changes back to the project. The real challenge would be traversing a change in browser css back to scss/less.

Web development is simple. But do it in the most productivity way is hard. Deployment is hard. Monitoring is hard. Correctness is hard. Scalability is hard. Testing is hard. Designing is hard,...

The only easy part of web development is code. That's the fact and the illusion for your question.

I think they may have used Africa as an example not as the only place.

Solar can be exported, for example, as pure hydrogen or potentially as hydrogen in ammonia, or possibly other easier to transport material (I'm not a chemist).

Places that receive high amounts of sunlight like Australia would also work for this.

As opposed to already tying energy needs to contested regions.
Ask HN: How to become better at shipping?
I've worked as a programmer over more than 10 years.

While I'm technically proficient, over time I've gradually gotten to ship less - less feature work per given month.

This has correlated with how I favor quality over everything else.

But in recent times I've come to realise that shipping is everything - whether at a startup or a big corp, 9/10 times all what is really valued is feature delivery. Everthing else seems just fluff in comparison, and is rarely thanked for - if anything it only brings drama.

I'm also disenchanted with how things work at our industry, so by now I'd just do whatever is appreciated the most, investing the least effort that is responsibly viable, and then using my spare time doing the things I love.

So my question is: how to become the type of programmer that is recognised for her focus on delivery?

It's hard for me because it would seem that getting there would mean cutting a lot of corners. Most times 'shippers' in a given team don't include the best test coverage, for instance.

I also have the impression that there isn't that much popular knowledge (or literature) about getting to this mentality/habits. Most tech discussion revolves at stuff that while interesting, might go in the exact opposite direction of what I'm seeking.

Interesting - I guess I didn't get "significant" spam either, but after a dozen or so beg bounties I had enough of it and removed it again. And now it's back to roughly zero beg bounties. Serious security researchers won't have a hard time clicking "Contact" in my website header & sending an e-mail to that address anyways.
Keep in mind this is only mandatory for government websites. That's a pretty low bar. If I worked for the government, or even a company that had one clear way to contact security, I would love this. I honestly have no fucking idea how to directly contact security most of the time and that's insane because I actually want to help them.

I don't care if they receive spam, I just want them to tell me how to contact them. Give me a captcha form, a phone number, an AOL Instant Messenger handle, I don't care.
Camp – A Scrapbook
They're not that rare. Also, there are a lot of other updates that in practice should be followed up with a reboot. For example, any library consumed by systemd (such as openssl) usually requires pid1 to relaunch. For example, debian released an openssl update just yesterday. You can run "checkrestart -v" to try to figure out how to restart every affected app but you'll quickly run into systemd's init process running with the old vulnerable library loaded, and then you might as well just reboot to get a clean "checkrestart -v". Even just relaunching non-pid-1 applications like dbus can quickly create a mess where sshd logins get a delay if you're not careful to also reload everything that depends on it.

600 0-100-0 cycles or perhaps 6000 20-80-20 cycles. And then after you've hit the cycle limit, your batteries are still good, but only have 80% of original capacity. Not sure how much it helps to make the numbers feasible though.

Why does the ratio affect efficiency? Naively it seems like it should just be able to use differently sized inductors.
I think this is mostly survivorship bias. We remember the interesting stuff and forget about the 90% of crap, while we experience current crap in real time. There are some really stellar games that inspired and shaped the industry, a few odd-balls that hold up surprisingly well but everyone seems to have forgotten about, and then there's a huge wasteland of <insert puzzle or arcade game>-clones.
Extra steps? Not sure about that.

Solar farms are definitely much, much simpler .. thousands or even millions of perfectly uniform panels manufactured in a factory, some wiring and power electronics and some electrical infrastructure to connect to the grid. Projects are delivered in months, and almost all within 1% of project budget.

Nuclear power plants consist of probably tens of thousands of different components: a reactor (containing a reactor core, fuel rods, control rods, moderator, and coolant), a turbine, a generator, a containment building, a cooling system, pumps, valves, and piping, a control system, a safety system, and a waste disposal system, along with all the same electrical infrastructure to connect to the grid. Projects take years to decades and invariably delivered multiples over budget.

I believe big cables will the the future... +-3 million volts and 30,000 amps DC makes a pair of cables each 2 feet thick which can deliver enough power for the whole of the UK, and then take that power from the equator to the north pole while losing only 5%.

The cable itself is expensive to make and hard to install, but I believe we will put cablemaking equipment onto a ship, and sail it at 1mph all the way from the equator to northern europe, with other ships bringing shipments of copper, steel, and polymers to keep it going.

The cable will be fed by lower voltage feeders, and voltage conversion done by stacked MOSFETS (600V MOSFETS, 5000 of them stacked, and all encased in polymer - at these voltages, air isn't a good enough insulator unless you have absolutely huge buildings.) Each stack can add or remove 300 megawatts of power from the cable - so you need a couple per powerstation or city

I really hope just using static types alone doesn't give people confidence to refactor. It of course depends what "refactor" really means. Are we talking about a function, class, module/library, an entire application? Maybe in the function case, static type give more confidence, but in the others the way to de-risk is to have good tests. Static types only help catch one class of errors where refactoring can introduce several error classes depending on the specific case.

In other words, if static types alone are giving confidence to refactor, it is a false confidence except in the most trivial of cases.
That'd be a smart criminal. This is a rare variety because a smart person has a better concept of consequences and better ways of making money than crime.
We actually always had a bunch of our own stuff, and still do, as well as work with other partners. For example, the number one module on mobile is local, and we don't get any local stuff from Bing at all. Similarly, the number one module desktop is knowledge graph, and we don't get that from Bing at all either. And yes, you can re-insert results if they are indeed censored, but Bing doesn't really intentionally censor anything either as far as we can tell or we'd here a lot more about it. Occasionally something drops out of the index for some kind of bug reason that gets fixed.
They should really teach rhetoric more in schools, so people are a bit more immune to the common tricks of the trade.
