I had a competitor to my TV torrent site who would call PayPal on a monthly basis and claim our site was selling CSAM. PayPal would be forced to immediately block the account and do a thorough investigation to exonerate us (though weirdly they didn't care about the piracy). It is a fantastic ruse to destroy someone's legitimate business though as the payment providers cannot ignore the complaint, even if it is made repeatedly and regularly and is clearly bogus.

I think what that sentence is saying is that we don't know how to reproduce it in a lab. We don't know what exactly is happening in the real world that is causing us to perceive this. It could be an illusion I guess, but I think it's undisputed it's a real phenomenon.
That's not the consensus and "minimal" compliance is not a thing.
Oh, I think you misunderstood. I’m rooting for the whales as against all the humans. ;)
That's a good point and it illustrates what the solution is too. Email, is a series of protocols: POP3, SMTP and IMAP; thus they don't suffer issues with HTTP (a different protocol) that this article describes. The Web mail apps are just a client to serve your email protocol data to you. While the web apps do suffer from the HTTP issues, you at least have the freedom to switch your clients, and even the servers of your email data.

If they’d re-release Far Cry 2 with graphics on par with FC 5, I might never play anything else. I could hike around all day admiring the scenery in FC 5, or ride a jet ski from one end of the river to the other. But the story was hokey and tropey, most of the characters were uninteresting, and the ending was enough to put me off of Ubisoft for good. FC 2 had a great story, great characters, lots of interesting mechanics. And of course, the Standard Ubisoft Paradigm (climb a $TALL to unlock a map quadrant, sneak into $PLACE and fight $HEAVY, $SNIPER, and $LIGHT, have a $FORCEDENCOUNTER with $SUBBBOSS for some exposition), was still new enough that we weren’t tired of it yet.
Although this is hardly the first submission about this topic, one wonders whether OSHA might be able to get involved.

I think it’s more the day care aspect of school that is important so that adults can work. Once they are 18 the day care is no longer important. A very small percentage of the population actually care if kids learned geometry or read Chaucer.
I thought that the following was worth re-quoting here:

>"Beyond these fundamental requirements, every great engineer that I’ve worked with brings distinct additional strengths. Just to pick a few examples, they might:

o Know every line of a multi-million line codebase and be able to diagnose a bug without even looking at any code.

o Be unrelentingly optimistic and never give up on a goal, even if it takes years to come to fruition.

o Crush any obstacle that comes between them and done. Before lunch.

o Be a grizzled vet who has shipped so many things that they help the whole team make great tradeoffs… or be relatively new, but so motivated that if you take a chance on them, they will repay it 10x.

o Bring a completely different perspective that changes how you think about a problem or a whole project.

o Reduce your stress level because you know that anything that lands in their lap is 100% handled.

o Make the team so fun that everyone can’t wait to get to work, or loves to hang out together outside of work.

o Have a knack for isolating and eliminating the nastiest, most difficult to reproduce bugs.

o Have the empathy and passion for education that makes them great at mentoring interns and less-experienced but promising newcomers.

o Be so incredibly committed to your product that they will stretch in unexpected ways to make it a massive success.

o Engage directly with users to turn them into evangelists and help the whole product team learn what they really need to build.

o See the big picture of the architecture you are building and save the team years of wandering the right way down the wrong paths.

o Be emotionally intelligent in a way that recognizes when colleagues need to talk about something difficult, or even initiate those conversations that would be easier to avoid.

o Be passionate about growing the team and help you identify and interview terrific candidates.

o Read all the blogs and be aware of the bleeding edge of tech. (Bonus points if they have enough taste and self control to know when to actually use the bleeding edge of tech).

o Challenge you and call you out — very publicly if need be — when you are being a jackass.

o Love to put on the headphones and knock out impossible features, impossibly fast.

o Have a sensitivity to user interface that allows them to collaborate unusually effectively with designers.

o Be a tool builder who will continually make your team more efficient.

o Communicate effectively to other technical and non-technical teams.

o Surprise you with futures and prototypes you’d have never thought of."

So what is this useful for, then?
A modern rack contains many computers. We use both our own lil embedded OS, Hubris, as well as our own illumos distribution named Helios.

None of this is exposed directly to the customer, though. You run VMs with whatever you want.
Competitive FPS games did even exist on the N64 (James Bond Golden Eye, Perfect Dark), and in the next generation they were very common and mostly had the modern two stick controls which is still used today. So I don't think that had anything to do with it.

> The PC gaming market is actually bigger now than it was back then.

This might be true, but I'm fairly certain that the market share of the PC platform has strongly decreased relative to the consoles. AAA games have largely shifted to consoles or console ports. The most plausible reason is that the desktop PC market has collapsed. The heyday of PC gaming was probably somewhere between Quake (1996) and Crysis (2007).
The best way to describe it is that it's unfinished conflict from WW1, WW2 and the Cold War, and therefore seeing it as Russia vs the west makes sense if you look at the entire history. Quite crazy that this is still happening in 2023.

Expensive because, under deadlines, it's a bit of a nightmare to have to twist your mind into all these shapes (and shatter a few times because your first couple passes of understanding are going to go so right until they go so wrong) until whatever you're reverse engineering finally clicks. It's even better when you feel you're just at the cusp of delivering a new feature on top of what you reverse engineered, and you realize you're missing a skill and have to level up your knowledge to inside of a couple days (oh, and dont forget the times when you think you've learned just enough of that skill to deliver and realize you need to explore an entire subfield of that skill to truly deliver).

I've delivered every single time, but I can't do this shit more than a few times a year; I don't say this lightly: it's fucking unhealthy..
I honestly thought what most contributed to their fall was that "Corba-la-la-la-la-la!" thing while they attacked.

The case you cited is only federal law. Many states in the USA banned CGI depictions of CSAM as a result of cases like that, so computer-generated imagery, and child sex dolls are not permitted across a large section of the country, for better or worse. I have no opinion on it as I don't know if access to items such as these which involve no real children make the majority of those interested more or less likely to physically offend. I am sure for some it mitigates their desires, and for others it accentuates them. I am not a psychologist.

I don't think any phone or headset has enough power to actually destroy eardrums. They can be loud enough to cause pain and even hearing loss over long-term use, but not loud enough to actually blow out somebody's ear drums in one blast. Even shooting a gun without ear protection, which is much louder than any phone or headphone speaker, is very unlikely to ever rupture your ear drums outright (although some loss of hearing is certain.)

I don't think you could successfully sue somebody for "they played a loud sound that was painful but my ear drums are still intact."
A simple compressor solves that issue so I really doubt this would be an effective measure.

Do you mean that it is the OH group on psilocin that binds with the receptor?
There probably are many other compounds with an OH group and another backbone, and they are not supposed to bind with 5HT2a.

The OH group is ~0.62% of the whole molecule, so there are way more molecule positions in space in which the OH group will be facing away from the receptor, so the active compound will not react.
webmail doesn't tend to have the problem of sharing pieces of content via hyperlink, which is the problem the author is talking about.

fediverse apps do fine as clients to access pieces of content through their own dedicated communication channels, in the same way webmail clients do.
One of the reasons for gcc's inline asm syntax being so verbose is it tells the compiler which registers are used and how. There is no indication in your last asm() that the value of rax before the asm() is read from. This means the compiler could assume it's safe to clobber rax just before. After all, you assigned a value into rax and never read it, a reasonable optimizer might say, why emit that first assignment at all?
I'm fascinated by this! Do you have any favorite books or articles that turned you on to CORBA?
apologies for that - it came from a friend who was reviewing that HN thread and used that word - but it was my choice to repeat that word in my writeup.

I mean speak for yourself I guess, I learned a ton of programming fundamentals in pursuit of my CS degree and that laid the foundation directly for my career in web engineering.

I entered the job market already experienced with the tools, languages, and then-popular libraries and frameworks - I learned exponentially more on the job, of course, but that learning was built my college education. It would have been a struggle to get right to work without it.
Experience shows it doesn't work. So long as it's an illegal marketplace you get all the problems of an illegal marketplace. Whether you go after the sellers or the buyers doesn't change the illicit nature of the situation. If you want to actually improve the situation you make the transaction legal and aboveboard.
I am getting a lot of calls from a Mr. Likely. His first name is Scam. I don't know a Scam Likely, why does he keep calling me?!

Seriously though, my spam to legitimate phone call ratio is about 10 to 1 (10 calls spam/telemarketing for each call I actually want).

My phone does a good job identifying scam, and if not I simply ignore any call from a number I do not know. If it is important they'll leave a number!

The part that I do not understand is how it is possible to call 1000's of numbers for free. Just do not allow any flat plans with free calls anywhere; charge a few cents per call and lower the flat fee.
Normal folks will save money, and scammer will need to pay.

Edit: Spelling
Total fluke. Apparently the byproduct of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. I didn’t find the explanation in the article all that clear as to how/why but this seems more like luck than good negotiating.
This would be more impressive if it hadn't been captured, uploaded to TikTok who compressed it to death, then downloaded and reuploaded to Reddit who also compressed it to death.

As it is, I can tell something happened maybe, but it might be ball lighting, might be a UFO, might be a particularly brightly-lit Bigfoot.

Go team Orca.

Humans are jerks. Sonar makes orcas bleed from their ears.

Orcas are also used as circus animals (i.e.: SeaWorld), and some of them get so aggravated that they commit suicide by bumping their heads against the pool walls.

Orcas should attack more often, I fully approve of it.

In fact, we should help orcas multiply in numbers so that the yacht enthusiasts get displaced and leave the sea to the creatures doing a free service for the environment.

In older days before Ruby had encoding-aware strings, ?a would return the ASCII integer value of 'a'. It made sense in that context but is now pretty much a quirky fossil.

That describes Bigfoot. I’d hope your epidemic standard is beyond anecdotes + videos that report to show what they report they’re showing. Else you can be made to believe anything.

I don’t know enough about ball lightning to care one way or another.
It's not a capitalistic concept. People in the DDR (among other communist states) used to rat each other out with the consequence of the target losing their home or possible incarceration so that the stoolie could "inherit" this desired asset. They still had the concept of some being more equal than others and deserving more.
Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
Elon Musk:

"To address extreme level of data scraping & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits:

At least one pod has learned to hunt and kill great whites, which may not be new to orcas but was news to us.
It really depends on the card. I have an old RDNA workstation card in my server and the driver was a real crapshoot. I eventually started delaying updates to newer kernel releases (which would fix other bugs!) because there would be regressions of various kinds. Graphics under Linux is still a bit painful after all these years.

At least Nvidia finally open sourced their driver too, I guess. And Intel is still open source. But it still sucks a bit I think unless you do research.
Travel was extremely restricted and even the fields had microphones, Winston couldn't reasonably escape and there would have been no where to go
To those getting "Rate Limit Exceeded" or without an account, this is Elon Musk's tweet:

There's no doubt they teach behaviors to each other, but that goes hand-in-hand with invention and experimentation. Different pods have different diets and hunting tactics, meaning at least some of them occasionally try something new and teach the others if it works well.
I have gotten close with some female engineers, and until recently they never mentioned their dating preferences. They were explaining how a night went down

"I didn't want to approach them, he wasn't that tall, but she insisted so we did anyway. He was kind of cute until he took off his hat. His friend was country and I love country."

They explain the night, how they went to different tables and had different drinks. They exchanged phone numbers.

I was a bit bothered that they never mentioned anything I deemed important "Job/Education/etc..." Apparently a "construction safety manager".

The girl ended up mentioning that he was a big Trump supporter and that she is very liberal, I asked her how that would work with the whole 'country' thing. She said that she is always going to be working and not a stay at home mom.

And 1 month later she broke up with him.

Weird how height, hair, and 'country' was more important than job and beliefs.
I read a lot of discussion here that focuses on learning as some kind of basic skill acquisition. How to I learn Rust? How to I learn to speak conversational Japanese?

Other topics require judgement, the weighing of alternatives. Sometimes there is no clear winner.

When you just need to know a fact, searching online or asking GPT is a good way to go.

I haven't had good luck learning higher level concepts this way. One example: how would you discover an idea like "don't repeat yourself" if you didn't know it? There's a school of thought that says you'll learn it when you need it, but I'm not so sure - I think you can make faster progress if someone guides you through several complex improvements at once.

Another example: say you're writing a networked game and you are communicating some basic information but you are also communicating inforation that is derived from the basic information (and hence is unnecessary to send). How do you learn this is inelegant, "repeating yourself", a waste of bandwidth? A critique from a mentor would clue you in right away.
Oh wow so I'm not the only one who felt like this.

Having different unsynchronized servers has been a gigantic turn off for me.

That's like the one thing that shouldn't be the case with anything social online.

Most people in our circles recognize the social media is marketing for your personal brand, and use it responsibly. Many people in the wider world don't. They often see it as a way to share memories with other people or to save their memories, because free photo storage is a thing of the past and most people don't have more than 256 GB of hard drive space on their phone (their only computing device).

It is being overlooked that one of the big impediments to CORBA was the literal cost of license from the vendors. They all wanted to make big bucks. It kind of reminds me of the early days of LISP and smalltalk. Venders were more interested in cashing in than spreading the technology. To be sure, for a big company it wasn't that huge, but when the Dot-com boom went bust and company's were trying to find ways to save money, that was a big flag on the expense sheet given that alternatives were becoming available.
Another master stroke of genius from this first principles maverick. Everything in every field is so simple for him, it's a wonder every one else has been just too stupid to try these ideas before. Horribly mismanaged Twitter that was before Elon failing to the tune of around break even is now going to have hundreds of millions of paid blue checks for sure
Yeah, the data is very lacking.

However, there's a huge advantage to a legal transaction in that if something goes wrong the wronged party need not fear going to the police. It's much better for disputes to be settled in court than by violence.
