I explained already sharing is part not all of iCloud Photos.

Backups entered the discussion because you claimed iCloud meant backups not photos. And your words suggest iCloud Backup is more private than it is. Scanning device backups was not part of the photo scanning plan. But it is on the table always without E2EE.

The article said backed up to Google Photos. And the photos were sent over Gmail and chat. It is not clear device backups were scanned or existed. And device content is a misleading name for backups in the context of scanning on devices.
> The gold standard stuff is hilariously reductionist.

Not really. Ending the dollar's convertibility into gold obviously had a severe impact on how foreign economies viewed the US and the dollar. I think it's "hilariously" ignorant to pretend that this wasn't a factor.

The economic reality for the US was that, before this, we just had to print money for the value of $100 worth of gold. Meanwhile, other countries had to produce actual goods or services that were valued at $100 worth of gold.

As multiple countries started repatriating their gold, the US does a rugpull and says we're done with that? It was effectively a US default on debt (which would have happened if we allowed repatriation anyway, because we didn't have enough gold to pay back all of our creditors who wanted their gold).

Yes, there were quite a few factors happening concurrently with this. But I don't see how it's simple to disentangle the effective default on debt denominated in the global reserve currency with all the other global economic volatility at the time. Laundry-listing other things that happened at the same time is not an explanation.

Edit: Just want to point out that, IMO, the real problem was the US was defaulting on our debt. What Nixon did was just like an escape hatch for it where the US did not have to call it what it was and we also got to keep the gold. I agree with you in the sense that I think bad things would have happened with or without Nixon ending the gold standard. But I view that event as a clear sign and catalyst or accelerant for all the volatility that ensued immediately after. I still think it's crazy the US ended up on top after this anyway.

Late 30s, early 40s is really late for children. Something I will teach children is that real life has time limits and it's important to be aware of them.

It's all doable, of course, but all risk has increased. One thing I would do in my life on a do over is start earlier.

Late 30s you're playing on hard mode. Early 40s, you've got to sperm donor that and solo it (which a friend of a friend is doing). The time risk is very high!

I really messed up on this early in my step daughters life back when Facebook was the dominant platform. Posted all kinds of stuff. Fortunately for both of us, she was self aware enough to express discomfort with the idea once she understood what it meant.

The production line is one thing, the supply chain is quite another. When the Department of Defense shut down F-22 production they mothballed the Lockheed Martin final production line (although there were some gaps and missing tooling). But then when they looked into restarting production several years later they found it was just impossible because the supply chain had disintegrated.
You are hiding in your closet as armed intruders search your home for you. You call the police, who conveniently are driving by with a SWAT team at that moment. The phone company reports, yes, the frantic call is coming from a landline in your house.

I'm well aware of what MRIs are capable of; thanks for the explanation, but it was the reasons and motives that I question, because as I said, none of the providers really cared to read or interpret the results or make any diagnosis based on the scans, other than "welp nothing's broken, go to PT."

Many medical tests are not used as diagnostic aids, but as insurance tickboxes or fishing expeditions. You can have a really simple ailment and if you tell the PCP too much about it, they will order a battery of tests just to rule out a bunch of crazy stuff. Or conversely if you seem too healthy, the PCP will order increasingly invasive tests in order to find something to treat. (Also the standards bodies move their goalposts so that healthy people are more likely meet the requirements for disorders, like "catching cancer early" with colonoscopies and mammograms, or hypertension criteria that get stricter and stricter.)

Doctors can also get fairly adamant about the testing according to their standards. I told a doctor she didn't need to test all my liver enzymes (at a time when I was out-of-pocket for everything) and she said she didn't feel like refilling my thyroid medication if I didn't let her test anything and everything she wanted. So I was essentially blackmailed into submitting to that. Now can you imagine being out-of-pocket on an MRI that nobody will use?
Is that actually the case for Raytheon specifically, which has deep ties to Massachusetts? It was founded by Vannevar Bush, who was VP and Dean of Engineering at MIT at the time. (And I know they still do a lot of the tech in Massachusetts - my friend's wife works on missile guidance for them.)
> As long as you already know enough about Sparta to be able to tell whether those blog posts, Reddit threads, and Amazon and Goodreads reviews are legit or spam.

Nope, it's more of just a generalized credibility/bullshit detector. It has zero to do with the topic at hand. This is a major life skill that is important to develop.

> Are you saying you honestly can't think of a way to vet a local teacher? How about taking to their students?

You can figure out if they're good at teaching as a general skill (although contacting a bunch of students who are willing to take the time to talk to you is a lot of work). It's quite difficult to suss out their actual knowledgeability, however. For example, you can find a local moral philosophy professor who is well-liked, but who will teach everything through a lens of Kantianism and disparage consequentialism and never even mention virtue ethics. And you could spend 50 hours of private tutoring and never know you were receiving major bias and being left with huge gaps -- something unlikely to happen if you spent the same time carefully reading a couple of well-respected intro textbooks on the subject.

> ...and then flooding the internet...

See above about credibility/bullshit detection. Remember, don't look at average stars or anything like that, look for posts/reviews that go in-depth where you can tell the reviewer knows what they're talking about, and then look for consistent commonalities between posts.

Another thing you need: patience.

I'm 34, and just in the last year reached the point where I have:

- enough experience and context to do great work, and

- the right people to leverage that context and experience on meaningful applications

It took a lot of waiting for that ideal blend of circumstances to come around. I wish I'd have been able to tell my 26 year old self that as he slogged through an entry level EE job. The choices he made affected where I am now, but he definitely made some sacrifices on my behalf.
My understanding is that the fabrication of the dies are exactly the same, the actual silicon.

You saved me the trouble of writing out all the same advice.
'None of the people leaving negative reviews had actually read the book, which wasn’t slated to come out until February of next year.'

I'm sure this is true of nearly all books, bad reviews or not. At least all these reviews are well written and go well beyond the required word count though.

If I didn't know better, I'd suspect there was some kind of industry behind all of this book review nonsense?
I actually like that one better than the newer version.
DMCA requires handling of repeat infringers so something similar to the three strikes has to exist.
Sure there are plenty of public places, church [I'm not religious] etc. though ensured you had something in common. Imagine being the attractive girl at the gym trying to work out and every time you go, 4 dudes come up and hit on you, day after day after day. Or the married woman that doesn't wear a ring just trying to grocery shop for her family and cant get down isle without being hit on. Parties and bars sure, I get it.

I don't think it's as huge of a problem as this article claims because:

a) you can request the same resource from multiple servers

b) it is not just the address bar which can control the server it's requested from -- servers can link to each other.

Of course, if one server is unavailable, the browser may not know to try another... but that's a small improvement which can be added.

That doesn't seem to contradict me; maybe they closed the soda-lime glass pyrex plant because those product models weren't selling as well?

Just stumbled upon this thread and wanted to share Richard Hamming's classic talk from '86, "You and Your Research."

Then I realized that the funny part is that PG has already linked to Hamming's talk on his site (http://www.paulgraham.com/hamming.html), and mentioned it on Twitter (https://twitter.com/paulg/status/849300780997890048).

There’s a part in that talk that has always stuck with me: he advises to ask yourself at every Friday evening, "What are the important problems in my field?" Not entirely dissimilar from PG’s take on how the educational system in forcing you to commit prematurely often has you overlook this entirely.

In the vein of "great minds think alike," both of them hammer home the importance of working on what genuinely grabs your interest. PG's advice is to "optimize for interestingness" ; Hamming when he says, "If you do not work on an important problem, it's unlikely you'll do important work."

I got a kick out of how both of them advocate for being flexible in our approach to work — especially given how launching and pivoting after learning from your users has also been the PG advice for the better part of two decades in startup-focused essays. PG's all for switching horses mid-race if a more exciting problem shows up , and Hamming shares the same sentiment, stressing the importance of being ready to seize new opportunities. Today pivoting is just default vernacular in startup world, but also cutting losses and getting that fractal and pushing that to its end is worth it.

Curious how has "optimizing for interestingness" played out in your own work or life? Additionally, curious if there are any good HN stories about pursuing research and “pivoting” in fields that are not searching for product-market/fit for a startup…

(Hamming’s talk has been shared countless times here and this feels like PG’s contribution to a similar idea (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35778036)).
This is just the old Chomsky false conscious argument which is as wrong now as ever. Nothing is stopping you from living frugally and valuing friends and family. The economic structure doesn’t prevent that, in fact it’s generally easier to live with parents if you get along well.

Other people just want other things, and that’s OK too.

Teachers provide you with so much. Not only can they give you exactly the right knowledge at the right time, the good ones will keep your motivation topped up to get you through slumps and dips.

I started learning to sing 3 years ago. I've had two different teachers and I'm confident in saying I would have never learnt even a tenth of what I know without them. Teachers and coaches really come into their own when it comes to realtime skills. You just don't have the mental space to perform the learning task and assess your performance at the same time.
> if they published the design spec.

Apparently this is something the US military is doing with the F-22 replacement, NGAD. They will require ownership or a perpetual license or similar to the NGAD spec and blueprint, rather than allowing a defense contractor sole ownership of the design. Gives them a little leverage and ability to source multiple manufacturers, diversifying its supply line.

We have plenty of licensed RHEL, but in isolated environments the hurdle of connecting to a Satellite server or their subscription hub on the internet is too high -- at least with Rocky and the ilk available. For this set up, the licensing model doesn't match reality, at least not easily.

Are we really going to build out compatible configuration management, monitoring, logging, etc? -- it's not a seamless transition. How much time do we have to put towards this?

And yes -- there is software compatibility issues. Look at the OpenHPC software distribution, it's designed for SUSE or Enterprise Linux: https://github.com/openhpc/ohpc/wiki/2.X
Why can’t both be true? That both the world’s copyright system and YouTube’s is fundamentally broken.

YouTube assumes “guilty until proven innocent” because that’s cheaper. It’s cheaper because properly following the chain of what constitutes free speech and whether a claim is legitimate are costly questions. So it just ignores all of that and takes action because otherwise copyright trolls like the RIAA would attack them.

And that’s a big part of the problem, real world copyright laws and the DMCA are mostly used to protect large corporations. In the US it used to be 20+5 for copyright. The Founding Fathers reasoned that an artist deserved that long to profit off their successes, but that they should still innovate and create beyond that initial creation. Nowadays it’s death of the author + 75 years, or for anything produced before 1978, + 67. Walt Disney’s death was 66 years ago, with Mickey Mouse due to enter the public domain in 2024. We’re already hearing talks of Disney “losing Mickey Mouse”, so expect some intense lobbying and a bipartisan copyright bill to extend it to 100 and 87. And beyond the Death of Public Domain, we have laws such as the DMCA which are heavily abused across the entire Internet. Censoring information left and right, even when it’s perfectly legal and would be found so under the law. It’s a completely draconian idea with no balance at all.

So yes, the copyright system in general is broken, but so is YouTube. And shifting the blame does not absolve YouTube of killing off the ability to have a human review the process, especially at their profit levels. Instead, it just shows Tom Scott is an apologist for YouTube, which makes sense considering that’s where his paycheck comes from.

1. This implements the clunky C-ish API; there's also the Modern-C++ API wrappers, with automatic error checking, RAII resource control etc.; see: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers (due disclosure: I'm the author)

2. Implementing the _runtime_ API is not the right choice; it's important to implement the _driver_ API, otherwise you can't isolate contexts, dynamically add newly-compiled JIT kernels via modules etc.

3. This is less than 3000 lines of code. Wrapping all of the core CUDA APIs (driver, runtime, NVTX, JIT compilation of CUDA-C++ and of PTX) took me > 14,000 LoC.

Like many…odd aspects of current society, it’s hard to tell what’s intentional.

In this case, the Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) movement seems to suddenly be making significant progress after stalling since the 90s - just in time for culling expensive Boomers [1] (and, also in Canada, mentally ill homeless and teens).

As mentioned in the link, assisted suicide is being pushed by providers (at least to some degree), which still doesn’t prove intention, but is quite a bit more concerning than people deciding on this course of action by themselves.

As explained in the etymology section of the dedicated Wikipedia page, the name of the sect was "Asāsiyyūn" (Meaning something like "men of principles). The name Hashishin (Hashish smokers) was a derogative misnomer by their enemies.
The whole story and legends related to it captured the imagination of modern scholars with an orientalist biais.
Among today scholars the question is settled: while the sect and assassinations are historical facts, they are surrounded by lots of myths.

That concept works well enough for something simple and mechanical like an assault rifle, but it totally falls apart for aerospace products. Just because you have documentation doesn't mean you are actually capable of building the final product. In the real world, manufacturing engineers often make adjustments on the fly to get stuff working. And the designs often assume a particular set of tools, so without knowing how to recreate those tools you don't have anything useful.
