Yes, you both are right. The duality of Conway's Law, especially in reverse, is fascinating to consider. This could indeed extend to the realms of the narrative Blizzard perpetuates not only through its products, but also within its internal culture.

As the (slighly modified) quote from Alan Moore suggests "Artists use lies to tell the truth, while (corporate) politicians use them to cover the truth up.", the stories we tell have power. They shape our understanding and, in turn, our reality. In Blizzard's case, the mythology and narratives within their games may have started to mirror the internal dynamics of the company.

It's plausible that the leadership and upper management, continually immersing themselves in the game narratives they produce, might unconsciously influence their hiring and structural decisions. This could result in an organization where individuals who align with these narratives are more likely to rise through the ranks.

This might not be a negative thing, were it not for the obvious issues of thus who seek power in their stories having usually conflicted psychology. Rather than a healthy reflection of the company's product, we're seeing the darker aspects of their game's narrative permeating the company's culture.

It's a strong reminder that life imitates art and vice versa.
Since it is a partially offline game, there doesn’t seem to be any way to calculate the Diablo 2 population. But I’d be shocked if there were more D2 players than D3.

It's a summary of an FBI agent's report "Naked Communism". I'm thankful they were motivated to amplify the FBI's findings because the goals are heinous. And if we all agree the goals are heinous then I don't see anything left to contend with. If we can't agree they are heinous then I guess the communist agenda is alive and well.

SEEKING WORK | East Coast, USA | REMOTE

I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including various forms of networking and distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and make money. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy codebases

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

The basic idea isn't excellent. It's wrong. It's firmly rooted in mid-1990s cryptography (the original design was a DOD contract to TIS); in particular, to the idea that cryptography is too expensive to do on edge systems. That's why DNSSEC's core design has offline signers (my belief is that the supposed security benefits of offline signing are back-rationalized --- remember that a best-practices "leaf" DNSSEC deployment today will have online signers, to foil enumeration attacks).

If you were to scrap DNSSEC-ter and start from scratch in 2023, there is no chance the design would look anything like DNSSEC. It would be fully encrypted for privacy. It would strike a different balance between authenticated denial and offline keys. It would use different primitives, and it would probably have a different DNS RR schema.

There are lots of implementation problems with DNSSEC, but the real issue is that the design is the best we could do in 1998, and that most of what's "improved" since then have been more effective ways to shoehorn the same model into the evolving core DNS infrastructure, rather than really improving the fundamental design.

Edit: Hey all, we got an overwhelming amount of great applications, so we've temporarily closed this down. We'll re-open if we don't find a match.

We produce vertically-aligned, on-prem, clustered, private cloud appliance. We design the hardware (motherboard, BMC, etc) and write the software (obviously integrating open source components where it makes sense eg. KVM, but also writing our own). Everything comes from a single vendor - us. The result is a cloud-like experience with no finger pointing and no shoe-horning as it was all built to work together. We have offices around the world, but fully remote is great, too.

Marketing-y blurb follows:

We’re building a globally distributed, locally embedded organisation that enables our Softies to be located in the place they live and work the best. Rather than plunder the global talent pool to relocate to Silicon Valley (though you can if you want) you can be where you do your best work and participate in our global community of Softies using platforms we’ve built or customised to make that possible.

As a venture backed company we’re growing and changing fast, and in some cases you could get the chance to build or influence that growth in ways not possible in more traditional businesses. We don’t just accept the “industry norm” and constantly challenge ourselves to do things better, often working at the leading edge of where IT infrastructure and open source are heading.

The article mirrors my experience with LEO (as a white person).

"The reason for the stop is..." -> citation, in-and-out in minutes.

"What the hell was that?" -> citation + wait around while they call their superior officer to figure out what to charge me with.

"Turn the car off and get out the vehicle" -> This is going to hurt.

I bet if we were to look at police training, their flow chart for handling situations is: simple crimes -> write the ticket, move on; minor, but straight forward crimes -> get them to admit to something; you're planning on booking them -> go in blazing.

FWIW, the time I was told to get out of the car and hand cuffed, I had a warrant out due to clerical error with a speeding ticket that I paid, but it didn't get marked as paid. I still got handcuffed and thrown into the police cruiser and only avoided an arrest because the LEO for some reason let me get the receipt from my glove compartment.

It's certainly a risk that these cuts might be going too deep.

Personally I would have made the process more gradual but who knows, maybe they're running out of runway, or their research gives them confidence that a sufficient number of (profitable) users will stick around.

This is all just armchair conjecture but I suspect that either they'll be fine or that they're screwed regardless -- either way I doubt this decision will sink them.

That's a fair point, but I still feel like the sales pitch is lackluster. I only know 1 person with one of these (or who talks about it), despite being surrounded by high earning tech workers.

On the other hand when I think back to the Apple Watch launch, despite early models not selling that well compared to other Apple devices I remember plenty of friends having them.

What exactly do you think the Venn diagram of: users who are annoyed with the API change + users who are willing to put up with Usenet?

Look at migrations to Mastodon and Matrix. It's still niche. It's great for that niche, but it's not something the average user will understand.

Users care about UX, quality of life. This argument isn't grounded in that.

parent comment didn't say that it's the best, but it's obviously the easiest for the modern digital nomad. in most other places integration probably happened over timespans of several centuries.

check the history of germans outside of germany. they lived in places for centuries and never integrated at all, but kept to themselves, except in the US.

in asia today foreigners are not expected to integrate at all. nor in africa. they will always stand out, and yes, maybe through intermarrying in a few centuries some will have integrated. but there is no place like the US where you can effectively integrate from day one if you have an open mind. i have lived in all these places so i speak from my own experience.
This isn't new security technology. The service model for DNSSEC was designed in 1994.

"We wanted to use white people as control for arrest stats but the police don't arrest white people" seems like a result you would also want to publish.
While your theory does add an interesting dimension to this conversation, it may not hold up when considering the current state of Diablo IV. As someone who's participated in the beta and server slash events, I can confirm that the game, by all indications, is shaping up to be a solid entry in the franchise.

Given this, it's unfortunate - even tragic - to witness this external drama potentially overshadowing what should be a momentous release. Instead of being able to focus purely on the merits of the game, we find ourselves intertwined in this larger narrative of corporate mismanagement and serious ethical failings.

But that's your choice. I have multiple "users", and only one of them has access to ssh keys, etc. Users I use for less trusted apps just have write access to their mostly empty home dir filled with some dotfiles "whatever" app created by itself.

You can firewall by process UIDs/GIDs too, and I use that to allow the user access only to the internet and not to localhost or home network, or only to localhost, etc.
Simply because you don't have an answer doesn't mean you can't point out that something is wrong.

I don't get houseplants. Inside they look stark, isolated, completely removed from their element. I love a good garden and outdoor flowers but houseplants seem ridiculous to me even excluding the ongoing maintenance and the inability to just leave home for a few weeks without having to setup someone to water. Why do I want to be physically tied down by my home decor? Or have the quality of my home decor dependant on the quality of my green thumb skills? Give me a Dali on the wall any day that invariably leads to a discussion on what a person sees in the scene.

You find this in online games quite a bit - the have a qualifying round in a tournament which divides players into ten divisions. The top three out of ten in the top four divisions get a great prize, and the top one in the remaining get a slightly lesser version. So it makes sense to smurf yourself into a lower division and hope to win the one prize than compete with equal skill players for the three prizes.
Yeah, maybe it is "wearing a thong" since it's developers were so concerned about social acceptability.

I would say though that it is no mean feat for the Emperor to get away with being naked in public, it takes power and the ability to wield it.

Similarly ChatGPT has a few competences that add up to people perceiving it is able, one of which is the ability to come up with plausible and satisfying answers whether they are right or wrong (often using shortcuts) and another one is getting people to engage with these answers.

> which has wink-wink tacit endorsement from the devs.

Is that true? A kinda competitor to Beat Saber is Synth Riders, and it's not wink-wink, there is official support for custom songs (and mods I think? I'm not sure). And when I get back to Beat Saber (because I like both Beat Saber and Synth Riders' game play), I feel like I'm owning an iPhone: a beautiful object but I can't actually do what I want with it
Ask HN: How are you handling OpenAI's API latency?
I have a pretty complicated prompt setup due to context requirements. I need to have 3 calls to the GPT-3 Turbo to get the required output which is about 10k tokens of input and output per user interaction. If the LLM was fast (2-3 seconds per API call) that would be fine, but I'm dealing with around 45-60 seconds of wait time. Embedding and fine tuning wouldn't speed this up because the context is constantly shifting.
is there a link to the actual manuscript?

MongoDB remains the 5th most popular database: https://db-engines.com/en/ranking

And there are four major reasons still to choose MongoDB over something like PostgreSQL.

a) PostgreSQL has terrible support for horizontal scalability. Nothing is built-in, proven or supported.

b) MongoDB has superior ability to manipulate and query the JSON.

c) MongoDB is significantly faster for document-attribute updates.

d) MongoDB has better tooling for those of us that prefer to manage our schema in the application layer.

Black motorists are also much likely to be pulled over, even in situations where police do not see the race of the person they are pulling over. Or when the officer is black.

I don't think anyone is denying the racial element, but it's easier for me to see it as a symptom of intergenerational poverty and disenfranchisement rather than systemic malpractice from individual officers.

In this case, I wouldn't want to downplay the progress we have made on policing the police. The only reason this study exists at all is because of the proliferation and availability of police body camera footage. That's a big win for everybody.
Probably one before the other
Your repo was my first time trying to find a bug in any kind of code other than my own. So bear with me, please.

The only thing I think may cause an issue is that `bash` should be installed in `/usr/local/bin` on OpenBSD and not `/bin/bash` if the installation is done through `pkg_add`. I know I've had to make that change when copying shell scripts written on Mac over to an OpenBSD machine.

Your mileage may be varying.
>For example, I enjoy rock-climbing as a hobby. Doing it involves literally learning new patterns of movement.

Sure but does your ability to learn new patterns of movement have much to do with having the hands to climb ? Do you think an amputated person would be less intelligent than you because he could not climb the same rocks ?

Would a blind man be less intelligent than you because he couldn't drive ?

You can't go and ask GPT-4 to go clean your room right now.

But is it because it's not intelligent enough to understand what it means to tidy up your room and go about doing that ? Or is the default inability to see and touch the real issue ?

Many papers/demonstrations including what I linked point overwhelmingly to the latter.
that sounds like a terribly inefficient way to get fluoride on teeth compared to toothpaste
The protocol wasn't designed on purpose to do this, but I think it's worth keeping in mind that this is why centralized DNS providers do DNSSEC features and promote DNSSEC: it's a thing that keeps you dependent on SAAS providers, because the DIY is so difficult. Keeping your domain anchored to a particular platform is a powerful customer retention mechanism; you're likely to do everything you can with that domain with that same platform.

Or Folding@Home is barely active enough to decide to stop, or they have a sunk cost fallacy... there are other options.

While Folding@Home has some mindshare among techies of a certain age, I suspect it's no longer practical given the wide availability of much higher performance cloud computing, and I don't think it has ever been cost effective. I suspect it needs reevaluating in the modern era. The last time I was looking at the project at all seriously was in ~2006 I think.
