You might enjoy playing Junkrat in Overwatch 2 if you like pyro. I skipped TF2 (the playful paintbrush texture were a turn-off at the time) but now 10 years later some of the OverWatch characters give me the same joy to play I had in original TFC (sniper=Widowmaker, medic=Mercy, soldier=Pharah, spy=Sombra)

Here is the script. This is like FTP/scp to an inbox. Remove the two leading spaces that HN needs in quoting code blocks.

This uses OpenSSL to a) send a base64-encoded MD5 hash of each file in the headers, then b) base64-encode the file itself. There is also an OpenSSL "smime" applet, but I really don't know what it does.

The netcat is going to send this over cleartext; use OpenSSL s_client (or maybe "nc -ssl" if your netcat supports it) if cleartext is a problem.

This is written in dash, so it should run in most POSIX-compliant shells. Note that local variables are not POSIX-compliant; for a true POSIX shell, change the shell function to "mimer () ( ...body ...)" to force a subshell.

Shellcheck doesn't like printf formats done like this, but you can't please everybody.

This also works in Windows with ports of OpenSSL and busybox, btw.

Ok but what if someone's killed due to taking advice from an AI? Certainly it's not hard to imagine a near future where AI is good enough that it's a well-trusted first port of call for medical diagnoses and the like, and a sloppily or maliciously trained system would surely have the potential for being "responsible" for deaths caused by the wrong advice - but who would be legally responsible?
I have Reddit posts auto open in Apollo but specifically went to this one in browser to see how bad it’s gotten. It’s not just an annoying pop up. You literally cannot use most of Reddit in a mobile browser now.

And I came from the link in this post which was supposed to go to old.reddit

That’s how dire things are. I have been a reddit user since 2009, almost 15 years. But I’m not a nostalgic person. As awful as it has gotten it’s still the place where most discussion on the internet happens (and has happened for over a decade.) That can’t just be replaced overnight. They’re sitting on a huuuuge amount of content that is fully indexed by search engines too. This would be a huge blow to the internet in general I think. All so they can have a Groupon style IPO.
I think hahamrfunnyguy must have meant "convert the numbers to strings" - that's the only way I can make sense of it. quiz.txt must contain code, not sample data.

The big lie is calling it waste; "partially spent fuel" is more accurate. As pointed out in the video re-processing the fuel gets all of the usable fissile material out; what's not mentioned in the video is that further chemical processing can neutralize the remaining radioactivity and leave the final waste product as inert glass pellets.

We're barely tapping the potential of uranium-based nuclear power and have yet to begin with thorium. Zero-emission, cheap, and super-abundant electricity via nuclear has been possible for decades... but politics.

The paper draws the analogy to continuous root-finding ("Interpolation search is the regula falsi method"), nice. One thing I've been wondering lately is whether the ITP method[0], which is actually more recent than this paper, is a good fit for sorted searching. It's an elegant method that guarantees a maximum number of queries, for example one more than binary search, while taking advantage of interpolation for better-behaved distributions. I wrote a short section about this at [1]. Which is likely to link to the OP soon too.

Since the author's here: the "Optimized binary search" algorithm looks good, in that it has an obvious branchless implementation. But it'll depend on how the code's written and compiled, and clang in particular will turn it into a branch without -mllvm --x86-cmov-converter=0. Making it branchless was the intention, right? Was the output code checked to make sure it uses cmov?

We've had a variation of this attempted when trying to sell a vehicle online. The scam is not specific to the item being sold, because they have no intention of picking it up. Rather, you are sent a realistic Paypal money transfer notification, and are asked to put most of it (since the amount is higher than the purchase price) into some sort of Moneygram transfer "for the person who will pick it up."

Paypal has an email listed on their site, IIRC, where you can send these, and it will tell you if it really came through them. Ours had not.
Our company has a free downloadable version, but it isn't open source. There are also features which require a license, and we offer both SaaS hosting and commercial support. I'm sure you can run the same playbook with OSS.

Here's our license: https://fusionauth.io/license

It can be a little confusing (what's free and what isn't requires a FAQ: https://fusionauth.io/license-faq ).

We get some pushback on "why aren't you OSS", but we counter that with a code escrow offer and no one has taken us up on it yet.

We also OSS a lot of other aspects of our system (SDKs, docs, core infra like our JWT processing code), which scratches some of that itch for our devs and community.

That said, I think it depends on what your product is. If it isn't dev focused, then I'd definitely stay away from OSS. If it is, are you in a land grab area with strong network effects? If so, OSS might make sense. You really can only go one way (really hard to walk it back) so I'd think about it from many angles before making the choice.
If the modern process didn’t involve so much leetcode and insane amounts of highly tuned preparation - I’d agree this would be reasonable. However, it takes most candidates that I know over 100 hours of prep to even pass most technical screens after they’ve had a job for a couple years. The regular occurrence being nights and weekends for a quarter then interviewing aggressively for the next quarter. (While still studying of course)

Maybe different in your roles or part of the world but in SV - it’s brutal.
Nah, I have played that as an adult. It is not that.

OSS Monetization
Unfortunately I can’t share specifics about Neuralink. But the general points I will make are:

- in this field, monkeys are high value animals and experimenters will often work with the same ones for many years; they are not, generally speaking, a high throughput model.

- to the extent a company does need to go through a large number of animals for a study, the way this works is you start by figuring out all of the problems you might be worried about, and choosing some rarity threshold to verify absence of (safety against), and then animal numbers are derived from the power calculation. For example, to rule out a potential complication to no more than 1% of patients with 95% confidence… you need a lot of animals, especially considering multiple study arms. This is the values tradeoff we as a society have chosen to make and empower our regulators to enforce. There is often a negotiation for the least controversial species to use that will satisfy the scientific goals.
During my time at RIT, 2005-2010, you could apply for classes via a web interface, but if you wanted to actually get the good spots, you'd use the telnet interface.

Specifically, you'd connect to a cluster of VMS machines (some VAXes, some Alphas) which had a text interface to the (reputedly) off-campus mainframe which did registration. I recall that "vaxa" was usually the most crowded because it was always listed first, but if you got on one of the Alpha systems it was more responsive.

Everyone insisted that you MUST use telnet, not ssh (although ssh was enabled) because having hundreds of students logged onto each VAX was enough load already without introducing cryptography. If I remember right, you could get a list of who was logged in which indicated if they came in via telnet or SSH, and people did get shamed for using SSH.
This article doesn't make any sense to me. DevOps from my perspective is CI/CD defined with a YAML file and using Docker biuld containers or custom GitLab Runners (or the Github equivalent), not something where programming in Python or Golang is needed.

I use this for my Teslas Dashcam (it was built for it), but it also has a feature to rsync music files from a network share every time it connects to the network and expose it as files on a USB drive to the host. Sounds like it would cover what you want, and it supports RPI Zero Ws natively.

I agree, and about human-accessible protocols in general, like HTTP and IRC.
It’s insane though. Just about any company can show higher quarterlies by doing shortsighted things that deeply undermine their long term value proposition.

Apple could license off a bunch of crap. Boeing could sell assets and designs. Toyota could just rebadge cheaper vehicles and sell all of their factories.. all of those could make record “profits”.

Are we doomed to everything just being a pump and dump scheme from here on out because why shouldn’t everything just be speculation?

I would believe that if it weren't for the fact that top-level pay has significantly widened from the bottom-level pay.
Nobody indeed buys a satellite, but they could have put a tax on receivers to fund the system. In my country they even tax data carriers (CD, HDD, laptop/phone with internal storage, etc.) for the music industry because we may store songs on it... clearly this is achievable, and funding satellites is a much more direct benefit than the bullshit that the music labels keep coming up with so the general public could actually be in favor of it.

There's also the famous Minsky statement that, paraphrasing, AI could pretty much be figured out over a solid summer of work. Appeals to authority on these questions are really annoying because people who work their entire lives on a thing are incredibly prone to think it's the most important thing in the world, and that this is the most exceptional time right now. Just statistically that's most of the time wrong.

Another example was Hinton, who according to a recent Wired interview, went down his AI doomer spiral after seeing PaLM explain to him why a joke is funny. That is such a bizarre statement it honestly makes me retroactively question some of these people's technical credentials.

Tbf, Portugal in the 1990s wasn't comparable to other countries in Western Europe.

In the 90s, Portugal's HDI was comparable to Poland and a number of other Eastern European states and still is to this day.

And ime, housewife type experiences definetly skew towards those who can afford a household on a single income - especially looking at countries c. 2010-2023 with similar developmental indicators as Portugal and Eastern Europe in the 90s.
Firstly, wtf is ad authoritam? There is no such word in the dictionary. If you mean ad hominem then no it isn't. It is an appeal to your higher sensibilities. But looking at your ridiculous response I can only conclude the opposite.

> Your comment it's a list of fallacies

List them.

> All of your statements won't validate the scriptures. They are just myths. Grow up.

I don't need to validate scriptures to some random nut on the internet. Whether you like it or not these scriptures are and will be studied for centuries and inspire many great scientists who are yet to come. Even after you will cease to exist on this planet. So don't regard yourself higher than what you are truly worth. Less than a dust in this cosmic existence.

> Newton did 'alchemy'. Well, he tried. Obviously, it didn't work. So what? Tell that to Lavoisier. Bam. 5000 years of bullshit, debunked from a French Chemist with basic Chemistry.

Well he became Newton because he did venture into and studied various paths (including occult practices). That is what a true scientist is and what a true scientist does. He was open minded, explored everything and did not take anything for granted. Even if it means setting up for failure. You would never get it because you are as close minded as it gets. It is not your cup of tea. You are probably only good at what is taught to you in academia and regurgitating that. That is where you will reside rest of your life. You are incapable of expanding your knowledge, producing new proofs/theorems or even coming up with novel concepts. So no matter how much you harp about science vs pseudoscience your contributions are next to nothing compared to a Newton, Galileo or Copernicus or any of the greats of that Era. Yes they got many things wrong. But the things they got right changed the World for the better. Now you will sit here in judgement of these great people who walked the Earth? Who tf are you?

And yes Lavoisier wouldn't have gotten to where he did if not for seeing all the failures of alchemy. There is nothing like "basic Chemistry" when the foundations of it was laid through various failures of the people from previous generations. As someone truly said, we all stand on the shoulders of giants. And all giants before us have had their fair share of success and failures. And they never got to where they did without first venturing into as many things as they could and giving it an honest shot and not dismissing everything as pseudo-science.

What makes us different from 'stochastic parrots'? Or where creativity, which machines don't have by definition, begins and ends?

There is a bunch of philosophical questions, but LLMs are more than just parrots. They develop multi-level patterns recognition. And they can solve multi-step problems which they have never seen before. May be each individual step, but not the whole combination. Selecting the right combination out of zillons is not exactly 'parroting'. Doesn't matter how we call it, it has extremely high potential in real physical world. Looks like it's a near future.

How would it hurt you? The American Heritage Dictionary gives three definitions of hurt:

> 1. To cause physical damage or pain to (an individual or a body part); injure.

> 2. To experience injury or pain to or in (an individual or a body part).

> 3. To cause mental or emotional suffering to; distress.

Does looking at them cause you mental or emotional suffering?
