I use Hypothesis a lot, and it's underrated, but it's pretty buggy, though. The experience is often not smooth and requires technical understanding to work around roadblocks. E.g. without installing the extension (which is Chrome-only and not available for Firefox) try annotating HN comments.
how about

What can I do for you?
Interesting. This was upvoted when the US was asleep, and downvoted as the US woke up.

I seem to be missing something that makes this unlikely.

Most chips have a capacitor across the power pins. That would tend to "integrate" the signal.

Recent chips operate at sub-volt values but the LED is in the 2+ volt range so they likely are on different rails of the power supply or have buck/boost circuits.

Even trivial designs don't use full in-order processing so multiple ADDs might overlap a MULT. This ain't your father's first processor.

The traces on the board, if not carefully designed, likely have reflection and ringing effects, especially at via points making the signal rather noisy.

Processors are running in the nano/pico range but the led/camera likely can't reach that resolution.

At these speeds the resistor-to-ground circuit on the LED would have capactive and inductive effects that would be hard to model and need to be pre-measured.

If it is a near-field (touch card) key then there are a lot of other noise sources including other chips and circuit trace induced voltages.

Cryptographic coprocessors in Verilog/VHDL are available as open source or vendor IP. They won't leak.

I could construct a "bench level test" that MIGHT be able to detect the computation but I'd need a really good oscilloscope on a well engineered circuit board knowing the exact specs of the processor and knowledge of the algorithm used.

Oh, and as mentioned, nobody who knows anything about crypto already knows and protects against timing/power attacks.
If you like org-mode, which is essentially an outliner, check out Logseq.

Logseq is a “second brain” but its primary format is a daily journal. This threw me off at first because I like to file knowledge into different topics. But turns out you can just throw random thoughts at it daily in bullet points, hashtag main points, and later see all hashtags in a single view. This encourages you to keep writing on different topics without organizing them first, and still be able to have a coherent view a certain topic later (just click on the hashtag). You can even build queries for bullet points in your bullet points.

Tobi Lutke, CEO of Shopify uses Logseq. Logseq is essentially like a huge Lisp engine but with a modern Markdown interface.
Writing on paper gets bad ideas out of my head better than any other medium.

I honestly think that typing on computing devices and writing on paper are conceptually two separate ideas. And should have a finely measured difference in name.

Programming is often called 'writing a program' and it probably is very similar. There is something about typing on a computer that encourages me to forget what I typed in. Typing on a kb and monitor is like writing in symbolic language to me, even if the words I'm typing are in natural language.

Writing on paper permenantly marks the paper and that makes a massive difference to my mind. It's stored, referrable and my body can also physically destroy it. The muscle linkages to make the shape of a glyph or character with my pen on paper is concrete.
Oh wow! i had no idea; i honestly just used smaller sized phillips heads to compensate for this apparent head gap size difference. Thanks for the info!
There's tons of exceptions. But there's a reason people who graduate with teaching degrees have the lowest SAT scores of pretty much any major/discipline.
Precisely what will happen, except "once again" implies their corruption occurs in discrete events.
Writing a shell script to install packages, hoping it's idempotent, isn't to the level of "[do it] once, and you won't have to do it ever again!".

Installing a list of packages is relatively easy, sure.

A NixOS system configuration also takes care of settings for different services; which typically you'd edit files under /etc/ for.

The closest practical analogue to a NixOS system configuration that's popular is probably setting up your computer.
I think that failed because it appealed to a comparatively much smaller audience and that audience was likely more engaged with mainstream social media much more through amplifying other “leaders” content than creating their own. In a case like that it’s much more difficult to rapidly acquire the captive audience ready to jump ship to the new platform unless you can get a bunch of the most visible leaders to very quickly do the same before the outrage dies down.

In the case of Twitter these changes are impacting a much more diverse population of passive consumers and active content creators, and doing so in a way that these policy changes, if permanent, will induce chronic friction in using the platform, so it may be a better opportunity that prior movements to ditch existing platforms.

I’m talking about probabilities though, not predicting that as an outcome. And I think the overall probability, while higher, may still not be too high. But I’m just an interested observer with no particular expertise in the social dynamics of network effects, so take this comment in that context as well.
Its not about Star Wars and marvel.

Its about making everyone else bend the knee.

Be afraid of Disney, the fear keeps you in-check. Show that you are all-powerful and can change laws on a whim, even when they don't need to. Make everyone know you are the only source of classic characters. (Maybe Nintendo too, who also indoctrinates children with their corporate IP.)
the most significant difference is that one has blue paint and the other red.

otherwise, they are seemingly the same in terms of outcomes for average workers.
> I hope you don't work in marketing.

Hell no, but also don't mistake me for thinking that this was a good idea.

However, particularly when I don't understand a subject well, I try to take all reasonable-sounding claims seriously at first and give them some back-of-the-envelope analysis. It seemed to me that the original claim was that Blue sales couldn't replace ads, but it seems like the numbers are close under some reasonable approximation.

I do agree that this move is likely to drive many users away from Twitter entirely, but a short-sighted company could still think that an acceptable tradeoff if they're having trouble selling all available advertising space.
Crazy. I post under my real name on reddit and I'm a moderator for our local community. I've never gotten any sort of real threat, but its concerning that it ever happens since I'm so easily found in reality.
I faced a recent distributed attack averaging 20,000 RPS[1] around the same time which makes me think that there might be a bot. I wonder if there’s a network of website operators similar to NANOG or the RIPE NCC mailing lists where I could compare my own experience with those of other operators.

My Meeting with David Bohm
Not everybody has US calendars.
I know that everything on the internet isn't 'really' public, but I feel like this isn't productive, the data's already been scraped.

The cat's out of the bag, other companies are doing exactly the same including openai (and have been for a bit more than a decade). Now that a specific company is popular they get flak? Seems like it's waaaaay too late.

Also what about open source models built on a this same data? I can't make games with other people's assets even if I release it for free, so are they next?
I don't think it's for lack of trying. From my understanding, bidirectional links / annotations are the big thing the web is missing compared to Project Xanadu. It seems to be an idea that lots of people get bitten by, never quite goes anywhere in the general sphere, and they end up pivoting to a narrow implementation wholly contained on one website.
I would not be surprised if Twitter is substantially Indian or spread across the world.
I do. stroke order is - | o
Sounds like you haven't tried doing it. V6 and VB.Net are fundamentally different languages. VB.Net has much more in common with C# than it has with VB6. It is the conversion from VB6 to VB.Net that is the hard part but it is probably no harder to convert directly to C#.

In particular the way that object destruction works is completely different. VB6 using reference counting and .Net languages use a garbage collector.

Systems using reference counting destroy objects and run the destructors as soon as there are no references to the object while those using garbage collectors might only dispose of the objects when memory is low, perhaps never. This means that object lifetime can be very different and that patterns such as RAII require extra work in .Net.
Basically if you had a Twitter presence with at least several hundred followers, you probably knew someone who knew someone who had codes.
Will this include manipulated reviews?

Take Airbnb, which became personal for me when I found out my reviews (of 3 and 4 stars) were edited or deleted. And where the last few Airbnb's were generally not good experiences (toilet requiring physically pushing stuff down, another one where bed was adjacent to wall with elevator machinery, another with 3 restaurants outside the ground floor courtyard including seating outside the house).

I discovered that in the Airbnb subreddit, hosts have common tips for how to remove bad reviews. Easy, just say that it violates the guidelines because: "there is a complaint about something the host cannot control"

That's it. It's that easy, and now information discovery by the consumer becomes difficult, as they see 4.8 star reviews with glowing positivity.

I'm skeptical but that's what they need to crack down on, that grey area where you make fake/arbitrary guidelines for reviews and ONLY delete the negatives.

Same thing happened to me on Amazon, I had pickling jars that all universally cracked in the fridge, and my review was deleted because it violated guidelines.

It's not just a bot or fake sponsorship issue, it's also a biased sampling game: delete the negative, leave the positive.
Yup! And as somebody living in the United States, it is not so obvious how I would learn about Russian holidays, etc.
> For a feudalism - Reddit comparison, where is the economic compensation? Answer: there isn’t any that is facilitated by the platform.

The one angle I can see is selling access and priority on the sub externally. It’s clearly against the terms of service, but if done within the parameters of the sub it blends in fairly easily.

A good analogy is the private tax collectors in old Europe. The right to collect taxes would be sold to a private individual. In this case, the mods would be paying with their time to manage the rest of the sub and Reddit would turn a blind eye to paid mod abuse.
I agree with dvorak_typist. Just recently read about Chesterton's Fence clearly applies here.

BUT this is a sign and a lesson for you to improve your documentation.

You should be able to sit down with any code you have written and understand it by reading the comments.

IMHO: Any code that is NOT documented sufficiently that you can puck it up later is "Throw away code!"
Disney has prepared for this day. They aren’t fighting to extend copyright instead they’ve wrapped mickey with so many trademarks that their iconic brand will be protected.

Besides, it’s only ‘steamboat Willy’ that enters the public domain which has little relevance to today’s Mickey Mouse.
Maybe this just hasnt happened yet, but I'm waiting for some pushback against Nintendo and Disney for brainwashing/indoctrinating children with corporate mascots masquerading as classic characters.

It seemed harmless, but now that I see 30 year olds that have an obsession/mental illness with these company's IP/corporate mascots that I think there might be something wrong with marketing to children. Even the ones aware they are being dragged on nostalgia trips have no defense. (Me included, I haven't found a Zelda game since TP above a 7/10, yet I feel compelled to play every single one. This is even more apparent with BOTW/TotK where despite these being different from Zelda, an open world with zelda skinned on it, I still need to play it.)

EDIT: Yes I agree about religion, sports, potentially colleges, and that adults can be brainwashed too.
People are awake all hours of the day.
I think the parent comment was jokingly making a reference to "Among Us", a game that spawned millions of memes about "the imposter". But my assumption could be wrong.
At this point I'll be shocked if they ever start inviting anyone that signed up for their waitlist over half a year ago.
'you don't have an answer' and you don't have a valid argument for me to answer.

I've given you my answer.

"religious basis" for what? freedom of religion?

Your just an unintelligent person trying to ignore the truth that it doesn't matter what my religous basis is. Jesus, Muhammed, Moses, Shiva... People have deeply held religious beliefs and it's not me trying to make someone feel small.

It's me standing up to narcists like yourself who think you can bully others into supporting your message because you don't agree with religious foundations.

Which is why you're saying "But Jesus..." when you have shit all knowledge of what Jesus would actually say and when that has nothing real to do with the topic at hand:

Religion is a protected class and you can't force someone to use their free speech to endorse your lifestyle.

Stop deflecting you coward and stick to that fact. I can defend what the Bible says - but that's irrelevant to the topic at hand because this isn't limited to the Bible and Jesus.

I've given you the answer... you're just to ignorant to understand that your right to live doesn't trump my right to religion.
It’s wild. I’m not a habitual social media user/checker, so my thoughts should be interpreted within that context.

Anyway, I don’t think anyone can fairly say they’re artificially growing the platform. I’ve watched them fight bots that attempt to autofollow everyone on the entire platform and engineer solutions for blatantly NSFW content filtering (but not blocking as that’s not a direct concern of theirs). They’re thinking really critically about giving users tools to give them the ability to see only the content they want to see. The coolest feature I’ve seen so far is custom feeds, which lets any user create a custom feed using whatever criteria they want to filter posts that any other user can then subsequently discover and add to their own list of feeds as an optional way to view content. For example, there’s a feed that (I presume) uses CV to include every post that includes a cat photo (no hashtags needed). It’s pretty cool.

They’re really on top of it, and when I say that I mean crazy passionate, bordering on burnout levels of on top of it. Throughout all of it they’ve been really authentically engaged, and even playful, with users.

As for users themselves, I’d say at the moment there are still really tight demographic bubbles of users on there, and everyone is an early-adopter, so the 80/20 rule doesn’t apply yet. Although it’s slowly changing, at least back in late May/April there were no lurkers. Everyone seemed to be posting and replying to everything. I find it interesting that they’ve managed to pierce beyond our techno-bubble. Not everyone on there has a technical background. I’d say they trend that direction, but they have writers and artists too, for example.

Lastly, I’ve seen some pretty neat experimenal web apps and chrome extensions being built around it. It’s all very exciting. That being said, this is early days, so it’s to be expected. I have a hunch they’re going to win this space because they seem to be making a concerted effort not to alienate users who are used to the idea of a centralized platform by not overwhelming said users with concerns that extend beyond engagement.

My concern also hinges on that, however, because it can very justly be argued that this is federation-lite or d(i)e(t)-centralization. The underlying foundation of the AT-protocol will be expensive to run. It’s the push/pull dilemma. They’re not shy about this, but they’re not exactly shouting it from the rooftops either, if you catch my drift.
I think he is one of these typical narcissistic and possibly sociopathic CEOs who who don't think they can do any wrong and that they are always correct.
That's what I said in the article.
I'm aware, and in context with religion is an apt metaphor. But in context with psychedelics it's not.

They're not a numbing agents, they're catalysts for change, that's why they're applicable to therapy in ways that opiates are not.
One example was "I want to run an old version of Hugo".

In the time since running the old version of hugo, enough about the system had changed:

- The OS had changed significantly (so re-running an old build didn't work).
- The compiler had changed significantly (so compiling from source would have been difficult).

Also found NewPipe again. It’s actually more useful than the official app.
Calling the reddit mods landed gentry was a stroke of genius. Perfectly calibrated to get under the mods' skin and piss them off, while at the same time driving a wedge between them and the various commoners who already had innumerable personal grudges against the mods. It undermined the perceived legitimacy of the mods and provoked the mods to react emotionally at the same time, making the mods play the victim while simultaneously reminding the commoners who the real victims of the system really were.
One guy did, he got sued by OceanGate and withdrew his complaint as he didn't wanna spend his life being litigated against.
In public libraries sure, but not in many academic libraries or other private ones. Which is of course where the more interesting (not mass-produced) content is held.

It seems the majority of Twitter articles are about the poor quality of engineering solutions or Elon's inability to "pay his Google bill". It strikes me as propaganda when what we are truly witnessing is the rush to wall-garden the internet as AI LLM takes over.

Doesn't really make sense… What prevents a logged in bot from continuing to scrape vast amounts of data?
But isn't this an example of even AWS developers using cloud services wrong?

They used a serverless approach (which should have excellent scalability -- it's one of the most common marketing lines of it!) then had to switch architecture because they realised it wasn't scalable.
I think you could argue those three things are cause by our dysfunctional government, with no solution in sight.
That is not sufficient in total numbers. That would be in the press that a whole part of the population goes Tor. They would never be quiet enough about it.

Looks anorganic and if it is organic I bet for Netflix and co related.
Ok but that’s not relevant to what’s going on
I agree. if you use it only a few times or want to try it out renting is fine. once you get serious about using something owning usually is the cheaper superior path. you always can use what you own, not a promise for rentables.
I’ve led a couple software teams so I’d like to think I have a bit of perspective here. The author of this article means well but this entire line of thinking is flawed. For one, if you start using your story points for velocity tracking, people are gonna get wise to that pretty fast and start gaming things. That 5 point story? Looks like an 8 pointer to me. That quick task that needs to get done? Fuck you. Point it first and make it a 5 just in case. Oh my story is not fully tested? Fuck you. Merge it. Last day of the sprint. You’ll never get an honest accounting of work output this way. The incentive structure is totally wrong. If velocity is off, it’s YOUR fault as a leader. Not the teams.

People are not CI jobs. You have to listen. Pay attention. Your job isn’t to make sure they’re productive by putting together these bullshit metrics. It’s to make them more productive by removing blockers and being a meat shield for misguided stuff like this.
the speculation (in the very short article) is that Mickey without gloves is in the public domain in 2024, Mickey with gloves is 2025, and Mickey in color is 2035 due to how the character progressed 100 years ago
The only effective way to raise the confidence level of a program significantly is to give a convincing proof of its correctness. [0]

Edsger W. Dijkstra

CONTEXT:

Argument three is based on the constructive approach to the problem of program correctness. Today a usual technique is to make a program and then to test it. But: program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs, but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence. The only effective way to raise the confidence level of a program significantly is to give a convincing proof of its correctness. But one should not first make the program and then prove its correctness, because then the requirement of providing the proof would only increase the poor programmer’s burden. On the contrary: the programmer should let correctness proof and program grow hand in hand. Argument three is essentially based on the following observation. If one first asks oneself what the structure of a convincing proof would be and, having found this, then constructs a program satisfying this proof’s requirements, then these correctness concerns turn out to be a very effective heuristic guidance. By definition this approach is only applicable when we restrict ourselves to intellectually manageable programs, but it provides us with effective means for finding a satisfactory one among these.
