People need to remember what year Bitcoin first became popular and what year it is today. Comparing crypto of today to AI of today is unfair. You need to compare crypto when it first came out:
- “digital cash”, “buy anything with minimal fees”
- “banking for the unbanked”
- “digital gold”, “not subject to inflation”
- “trade cash for crypto with anyone on the street”
- “no merchant fees”
All of these statements were true when Bitcoin first came out and all of them provided value to some albeit not everyone. Most of these statements are not true today. 6-7 years later and we can barely buy anything with crypto, the fees are most definitely not minimal and the “merchant fees” fade in comparison, the market is fragmented beyond imagination. Given taxation and KYC requirements crypto today is anything but “banking for the unbanked” or “digital cash”, you most definitely can’t trade it with random strangers on the street unless you want to get yourself arrested. Due to its volatility and correlation with the market crypto also does not appear to be a safe heaven today, despite what theory would have us believe.
All that to say, there was great hope for crypto when it first came out but over time its utility diminished. I can draw some parallels with the AI of today but will the future turn out the same we can only guess.
hash functions map infinite-cardinality input sets to finite-cardinality output sets

definitionally, this means each output value maps to multiple input values -- which means uniqueness is, factually, not guaranteed

it doesn't matter if the likelihood of collisions is 1-in-10, or 1-in-100000, or 1-in-1000000000000, or etc. -- if a collision is possible at all, then uniqueness is not guaranteed, and cannot be assumed as true

I think that's low-balling it a lot.

If you start out at $5/month. $2.50 goes to reddit. $1.50 goes to apple. That leaves a buck a user, 960k earnt. The first tax calculator I found for novia scotia estimates $489,203 tax owed on that. So that's $470k/year. (Ignoring the difference between CDN and USD, because it makes relatively little difference to the tax due.)

I'd be curious how many users you could keep migrating from $5-once to $5/month.
The federal minimum wage hasn't budged in 14 years. It's closer to the United Nations definitions of poverty than it is to resembling a wage.

I don’t know a single non-technical end user that even knows what web “engine” powers their browser, let alone cares. This is not something real people remotely think about.
Opposite in that you liked it at the beginning but not at the end? I could see that happening, given the plot.
I expect that many, if not most networked games have RCEs in them.

Security is not a priority. Priorities are performance and getting the thing out the door under constant crunch time with minimal cost and likely nobody hired specifically to handle this kind of security.

Performance usually means shortcuts everywhere, a mentality to avoid anything unnecessary in normal operation (like checks that values are within an expected range), and memory-unsafe languages.

Add various anti-cheats and you'll probably get an almost free escalation straight to the kernel too.

Also, lots of complexity, and often built-in scripting languages.

Edit: In this specific case, it was a series in logic bugs, in code that would generally not be considered super-sensitive and thus receive additional attention for a security review. To write secure software, every developer needs to be security aware, and a game company isn't the environment where you can expect that to happen.
It is sort of the inverse. To be pedantic, mechanics have mechanic's liens which allows them to hold a car forever until they're paid.

If it's worth enough for Google, Google could definitely bring full force of judgments. The only thing is the LBO debtors have a UCC lien which may be worth more than what Twitter is worth in a bankruptcy.

Twitter does currently have cash and may pay a judgment to prevent an event of default on the big debt. But debtors always have to worry being behind secured debt.
I had the pleasure of taking this course with Prof. Boyd when he did a semester at MIT and it really was excellent. With a basic understanding of linear algebra and proofs it opened my eyes to so many techniques and ways to look at problems. It also lowered my fear of tackling more complex coursework because it motivated my interest. The only downside is that I became far too over reliant on the MATLAB package they made to pair with the course, so trying to implement some of the techniques later on from scratch took some doing.

The high tech offerings are hype and little else, and are not social media, but venture capital sinkholes. The public does not interact with them, just rich people talking to rich people about it. Come to think, it's actually just rich people trying to make a buck.

The situation in both countries is different - there is no internet in Cuba, so the least work for the best outcome is to run this kind of "net".

In the US, you can always get access to whatever you need for free, with a little work, by torrenting for example. Torrenting is much less work than El Paquete or the stuff you listed.Why would anyone pay for those offerings instead?

I think it's apples to oranges.
Yes, since they've been selling cars claiming it would be ready for the last 7 years.

Nobody else is doing that, and I resent their beta-testing features with the rest of us there as unwilling participants.

Without a public hostname and cert, it's inconvenient to use. And how do you tell the equipment to use your certificate when you can't communicate with it because http is banned and https doesn't work without an approved certificate.
I think quite a few people would be happy to be able to put an Nvidia card in one of those Mac Pro slots and use it through CUDA only, as a compute/ML accelerator.

But Apple doesn't want to allow that either because they see CUDA as a competitor to their own APIs. So they do this whole spiel about the indivisible beauty of their own shared memory architecture.

If you're locked into containers as the solution, the answer to your problem is docker-compose. But verify that assumption first. Why containers and not VMs? VMs solved this particular problem years before anyone had ever heard of Docker. You don't need containers if you're just splitting up a single-server monolith. I don't know if I'd call them "friendly," but basically every VMM has a GUI. Docker's the easiest way to solve the runs-on-my-machine problem, but Vagrant isn't much harder.

k8s is a non-starter for this use case. So incredibly overcomplicated, and what did you think you were getting for that complexity? It's for large-scale deployments. You have one server. Resume driven development is getting out of control...

If you don't have a dedicated devops team, or you're not using a managed k8s service like AKS, just don't. Please don't. Stop spreading the madness to these beautifully simple environments. KISS: keep it simple, stupid. Running k8s because Docker CLI is too hard, is like learning to fly a F-16 because riding a bike is too hard.
1password is $3 a month. They could charge that price and still make money and reddit would make money for the loss of ad revenue from people using a 3rd party client.
I’ve heard great things but it’s longer than I could commit to reading. Can anyone recommend a similar but more concise text?
> Additionally, the closest relative to SARSCov2 that has been identified (RaTG13) was found in a cave in Mojiang county in Yunnan, over 1,000 km away, with no evidence that it was ever studied in the Wuhan lab.

As others have noted, this is mostly wrong. The WIV is the only lab in the world ever to publish a genome for RaTG13. They'd published a portion (under a different name, Ra4991) before the onset of the pandemic. The similarity to SARS-CoV-2 made it obvious they had something relevant, so they published the rest after. Perhaps you meant there's no evidence that the WIV ever had live RaTG13, and that's true--indeed, there's no evidence that anyone ever has, and some highly speculative claims that it might be an in silico fraud.

It's also not the closest relative anymore. From your other comments here, I believe your knowledge is about a year behind; you're repeating many old arguments that even those arguing most strongly against a possible research-related origin have long since abandoned.

> The map presented upfront from is also misleading, the early cases clustered around the market not the lab [0].

The market was the first big cluster, but the earliest cases show much less structure. See the paragraph beginning "A later study by academics at Wuhan University located the hotspots in Wuhan where people were reporting on social media that they needed treatment for Covid", which I believe is intended as explanation for that map (though that's not completely clear to me).

In any case, there's no reason to expect the first identified cluster in the same location as the first introduction. For example, SARS-CoV-2 must have been introduced into other continents at airports and seaports; but the first clusters were elsewhere, at nursing homes, choir practices, and other locations where the (a) the virus spread easily, and (b) the patients are likely to get sick enough for people to notice.

> Furthermore, several different isolates were found in the market, indicating that SARSCoV2 had been circulating before the epidemic took off.

I guess you're referring here to Pekar et. al? Their "different isolates" are literally just two SNPs apart. Roughly 1/10 of human-to-human transmissions result in two lineages at least that different, so this seems intuitively like it could easily evolve in cryptic human spread. Pekar did some complicated epidemiological modeling that claims otherwise, but I don't think it means much; see for example the criticism at

Yes, market friction like what you note is possible. But in theory, those points of friction and inefficiency can be overcome by the market with innovations in financial instruments.
It's actually a pretty awesome product. Its used by some top EMRs like Epic and Meditech. I used to think this story was insane then I worked with EMRs. Multivalue databases have their place and are very good for people records. You will also see innersystems cache and iris used in many government and intelligence sectors.

Much of this article's concerns can be addressed by a handful of tenets:

- spend time to understand the problem being solved.

- research applicable technologies for the problem which align closest with what the team knows.

- keep an open mind for other applicable technologies, but do not incorporate them without cause.

- accept that there are innumerable alternate ways to solve any given problem, but the time to solve is finite.

- do not emotionally attach oneself to the current solution so that other approaches can be objectively considered and employed when beneficial.

- alter technology used when benefit is identified and risk to success is minimized.

Proprietary extensions need to live in the opcode space reserved for custom extensions, where it'll overlap with other vendors' own custom extensions.

If they conflict with RISC-V's own space, the chip can't use RISC-V trademarks.

And, of course, the RISC-V Consortium will never adopt proprietary extensions, as that goes against its core values.
HN doesn't lend itself to community building well, it's more like a meetup spot IME. Also it may be my eyes but I hardly notice people's names on here compared to something like reddit.
> Most importantly, the general reader should know that all labs researching viruses do research on dangerous viruses. After all there is no incentive to research benign viruses.

I'm curious how you came up with this heuristic. It seems to me that there's plenty of incentives to study benign viruses: the primary one being to develop a deeper understanding of the biology of viruses in general.
Its not a bad language once you get used to it and the ability of Cache to scale is past what I have seen with other database products. (I work on an EMR that also happens to use Cache and know some Epic people)

This is the reason I mod subs. Mods love to come up with new things they feel is ban-worthy. I try to remind them that we already have rules and just have to enforce them without creating additional work. It’s not fun always feeling like the dissenter, but I do it respectfully. So far so good.
This was something that was (mostly) praised in the start-up community up until now.

If you've ever moderated a large subreddit before, you would know that it's not self-moderating. Garbage comments attract more garbage comments, and pretty soon your userbase is toxic as everyone else who's looking for a civil conversation leaves.

Many of the old default subs like News, Politics, etc are ran by the same group of moderators, and they will heavily censor things they don't like. But it's the same thing on the other side of the spectrum, a lot of the conservative subs aren't tolerant to whatever they think is "woke".

Either you have a valid cert, or you need to manually install the cert, or you're clicking through a scary warning (every time you start a fresh browser session, I think).

For a normal user, the procedure for manually installing a certificate is "put the router back in the box, return it to the store, and buy a different brand".
i don't understand your point

a "block list" is associated with a user, not a server
Sorry. It seemed you were using Lumping as meaning combining data into larger summarizations, and are against that, or think it leads to errors. Maybe not.

Sure, if there was time to study all of history, that would be great. But sometimes you need summaries to provide context around the subject being deep dived, or more finely split. It isn't possible to split ad infinitum.

In the end all history is summary and interpretations. Some people take it too far, which I think you said, it is a sliding scale. It goes back and forth doesn't it, some people split and split, and find a lot of details, and then wrap it up and write a summary.

For formulas. I tend to think the understanding of the human animal will be cracked eventually. Being complex doesn't mean it cant be done. And we'll be able to find more 'formulaic' models of groups, and perhaps apply to history. But of course, it is speculation right now.

Of course, this 'speculative' history has been going on for hundreds of years. Aren't there historians just to study past historians that themselves tried to find 'models' of history. I'd say lumping has been part of the process for a long time.

But to come full circle, you need details from which to lump, so some groups go out finding details, and others try to put them back together again.
It isn't all facts, it is to find out why things happened, and really that takes putting things back together.

Of course we are talking about a couple made up words lump/split, and really each encompass entire fields. Perhaps it is bad example since the linked article lumps too much? So I'm in position of defending lumping, when it started with a not very good example.

Fair enough, but I'd file gain of function research in that category, it's common, and seeing a possible outcome of it, it's something we need to rethink very carefully.
Batteries are excluded for good reason. The device and battery can be a fire hazard. It needs to be capable of surviving high temperatures and pressures. The risk of any kind of electrical fault inside the recorder also needs to be exactly 0.

That's not all though. The boxes cannot actually get any data. The data needs to be sent to the black boxes from other sensors throughout the aircraft. So if the power to the blackbox is cut, it's likely that there is no power to the aircraft in general. That means there is no point in continuing to record. If we do include batteries, those batteries need to be able to power all relevant systems on the aircraft itself.

Also, technically flight recorders already have batteries. But those batteries are usually reserved for the locator beacons. Not recording. They are also located outside the black box itself. (although they are attached together and installed as one device.
I appreciate that insight. Thank you.

Users are deciding whether or not they should trade their comments, moderation, and submissions to reddit in exchange for the platform reddit provides.

Anything that would take functionality or access away isn't "evil" it merely decreases the value proposition potentially putting it below a threshold where its not worth bothering to provide the content that make's reddit worth visiting leaving the shell of reddit owned by its corporate overlords worth little.

The protest is demonstrating to Reddits CEO that it is in fact a negotiation because while they have no right to tell Reddit how to run its ship they don't have to join they voyage much less act as crew.

It's not their job to make Reddit profitable. If they wanted reddit to be profitable they could have not spent years adding negative value to the platform and wasting expensive developer hours. Alternatively they could have made third party app access a paid feature instead of asking developers to predict and then pay for usage.
