It's exaggerated.

The problem with hydrogen is that it was involved in a very public accident (the Hindenburg). However, only 1/3 of the people on it died and they did so on the ground because they couldn't escape from the fire [1]. The flammability of hydrogen can be mitigated just as the flammability of gasoline can be mitigated.

Also keep in mind the Ford Pinto is from 1970 while the Hindenburg was from 1930 and the Pinto's failure mode was _not unique_ to the Pinto; it was endemic of car designs of the time (doesn't mean the Pinto doing that design was smart, its just that cars were literally unsafe in any accident). Obviously in 50 years we've come a long way with gasoline safety; I expect we could make a significantly safer blimp nearly 100 years after the Hindenburg.

Foreseen doesn't mean fixable. The scale of production achieved in East Asia is unique and doesn't look reproducible elsewhere at the same price points.

Ask HN: How to detect where am I biased and what is a tolerable amount of bias?
Thanks for the concern, but I didn’t miss the point. There is no wisdom in extrapolating absolute statements from fringe coincidences.
> Or it's a realistic view from outside your bubble.

This doesn't negate my point about propaganda. There is a long and deep history of the wealthy classes pitting the lower classes against each other in this very way, primarily by directing anger at the middle tiers from the lower, and a fomenting a sense of fear of the lower tiers in the middle.

I have checked out the income distribution in the US: you're way off. The typical software engineer has a total compensation less than $150k (pick any source: salary.com, indeed.com, etc.). The top 1% of salary is more than $350k in the lowest income states (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/financial-advisor/a...).

> I stand in full solidarity with the Walmart lady. Lifting her up doesn't mean gettinf her into programming bootcamp though. Her rent is so sky high because all the insane tech worker compensation around her inflated housing costs.

You stand in solidarity with the top 5%, because you're contributing to their propaganda efforts. Housing costs are inflated primarily because collectively housing is in shortage--a condition the wealthy love to see because they're relatively insensitive to it (they don't live where we do) and it also serves their propaganda interests (see above), which you seem to have taken up with glee.
Labor is a market, which means that the only two possibilities are 1) the offered pay is too low, 2) literally nobody in the entire country exists with these skills (in which case, the company needs to pony up the money to train them).
You must ignore others to notice invisible insights. But to avoid Cassandra’s curse, you must learn to understand the people you ignore... Greatness awaits those who find secret sauce and share the recipe.
That is crazy indeed.

I can't remember, do the other encoders automatically change the chroma subsampling? XYB JPEG peaks pretty hard at specific bpp ranges depending on the subsampling.

Also, things like this make me wonder what other tasks would be better in XYB colorspace. BM3D, for instance, performs best in "opponent" color space: https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynthEvolution/VapourSynth-BM...
The limitations of this tool are obvious from the author's documentation. Plus, a door lock would prevent this from working, so if you're living in a recent house and have thick door and lock the door, you don't have to worry about this attack vector. It's strongly suggested to also hot glue your USB ports shut for added security.
I wrote [ɴ] instead of /ɴ/ for a reason. It's true that the phoneme /ɴ/ has various realizations (including as no consonant at all, only nasalizing the preceding vowel), but when considering "pan" in isolation, the /ɴ/ is utterance-final and has the commonly accepted realization [ɴ].

Orion is fantastic.

I still use Firefox since it is cross browser but if I change to MacBook as my dev machine I might go all in on Orion as well.
The exact reason why you need some control over your search engine results.

For me, I have blackholed w3schools and boosted MDN in my search engine of choice. It is quite nice to always get the MDN page on a web-dev related query as the top result.

Even searching for "w3schools" directly results in the wikipedia as the top result (which is.. fair enough).

The same search on DDG results is a page full of w3schools & subdomains.
Our product Bulksign https://bulksign.com does this, the name of the product is directly inspired by that feature (sending same documents for signature to hundreds of recipients).
I really fail to understand how these big Japanese companies work.

It's like Toyota with electric cars, they could have become a leader in EVs as they had the bulk of the hybrid market (and thus experience), but they kept insisting that hydrogen was the way to go despite actual hydrogen car sales being abysmal and EV (read: Tesla) sales exploding.
I gave up on the NYT with the Judith Miller WMD non-sense. The NYT failed the United States during the run up to the Iraq war. All they had to do was honestly report what they knew.
This is interesting! What do you make of retrocausal effects in "image exposure" experiments, and other psi related phenomena. I'm curious if you have ideas for a physical theory that speaks to precognition and remove viewing?

From the article:

Here are some more examples that illustrate this position:

(1) Revenue-based lending: verify an organization’s revenue stream, without knowing the
specific transaction details or channels.

(2) Regulatory surveillance: verify that an organization is adhering to regulation without
requiring access to the details of its activities.

(3) KYC/AML verification without privacy violation: verify age and citizenship of individuals without requiring them to supply their name or any other personally identifiable information.

(4) Contract verification: verify that an organization has entered into a valuable contract
with a counterparty without disclosing who the counterparty is.

(5) Vice clause verification: verify that an organization has not been trading with unethical organizations, without having access to the list of organization’s trading counterparties.
Time Warner Cable stopped existing a long time ago, it existed 2009 to 2016.

Discovery most recently took over the media part and now it is officially known as Warner Bros Discovery.

Two of the most recent most high profile hacks required a large degree of preplanning, scoping out, custom coding etc to achieve the breadth and depth of penetration gained upon execution.

How would you classify supply-chain attacks?

Primary security was bypassed by breaking secondary security .. so there was security to be overcome, there was no social engineering aside from understanding procedures in play, and no disgruntled employees.

Outstanding comment! Bound to fly over the head of some in HN.
Most people think about Terminator-style scenarios when it comes to AI, but in reality the dangers it poses will be like the proverbial frog boiling to death. It will come slowly but surely and be on the level of societal problems that eventually make society collapse rather than a killer robot from the future.
> Distributing a single model over thousands of tiny GPUs takes months of time from dozens of people with rare expertise. CG-1 eliminates this challenge. Setting up a generative AI model takes minutes, not months and can be done by a single person.

That's fascinating. Their website[0] says that their model support is 600 billion parameters. Is that enough, given how rapidly these models seem to be expanding? I'm not on the up-and-up with how vast they need to be.

You don’t need tools for this, run this command once and you’ll never have to worry about using the wrong key for that git repo again:

cd <git repo>
git config --local core.sshCommand "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_<private key to use>"

Job done.
When Overwatch first came out it was so easy to find both normal and ranked games, we're talking 30 seconds or less, I had a great time even when teams weren't optimally balanced.

But then they started forcing classes, implemented the different queues and today that's become a big issue.

If I continually play healer I can find games relatively easily (in say a minute or two), but on the other hand if I want to play dps I'm going to be in a queue for 20 minutes. Tanks are usually in the middle, so a big portion of the game just feels non-accessible to me.

I think something was lost in the retelling. It could just be an era when people didn't figure out biometrics yet. It makes sense today, but caught up in new hype, people often implement cutting edge technology where it doesn't belong.

> Nintendo has repeatedly sued even when they lose.

Why don't we have laws to punish companies like Nintendo for this kind of harassment? What if we had one like "if a copyright lawsuit is found to be frivolous or filed in bad faith, the copyright for all of the plaintiff's works involved in the case is forfeit to the defendant"?

Oh, cool. I'm a bit surprised, but it makes sense since I've known Cathode well before.
You’re making the preposterous assertion that all countries’ politicians are equally corrupt. That needs some extraordinary data to support.
Most clients ignore that anyways. Like literally only a few Linux distributions add local DHCP ones to their server list.

In 99.99% of the cases you have to intercept or reconfigure.
It is so interesting that you are mentioning Lotus Notes because that is exactly what I was thinking when I was setting up our Confluence pages: it is exactly like Lotus Notes' Knowledge Base template, with some additional funtionality. Crazy how we keep reinventing things.

By the way, and this is just my point of view: we moved from Notion to Confluence because Notion has no free tier for small teams (4 people). We were working on a project for a not-for profit org and their money is always tight.

Since you already give Notion free, have you ever evaluating doing like Atlassian that up to 10 (or 5) people the thing is free?
I have no doubt that Anatoly is completely aware of these other uses of like! I know him professionally. The time he sat through a plenary on the uses of "like," which he mentions, at the very least would have brought him up to speed. But also, he is a linguist, and a philologist, and an exquisite scholar, and despite his get-off-my-language-lawn blog entry, he is quite learned.

I'll just unplug your mouse / keyboard / wifi dongle and get to the USB port that it's using. Unless you are suggesting that modern computers should ship with zero USB ports.
I stand by my comment, your interpretation misses a lot :(

But, maybe I'm the one missing your view here--could you explain more what you mean specifically?
> It identified a culture where Tessier-Lavigne “tended to reward the ‘winners’ (that is, postdocs who could generate favorable results) and marginalize or diminish the ‘losers’ (that is, postdocs who were unable or struggled to generate such data).”

I am honestly very curious who hasn't observed the same behavior in large corporations too. (And to be clear, I'm not defending this behavior; rather curious if it's not an unfortunate generalized situation that occurs not only in academia).
To top it, it could be argued that Chrome is a worse piece of spyware than Bonzi Buddy ever was.

You don't put a single character into the address bar of Chrome without notifying Google.

Yes, even if you are typing a domain instead of planning to search for something you have told Google about it, which means they know everything you visit, both internal websites at work and everything else.
Darn, you had me excited!
Remember, graduates of these institutions go on to run everything else, and take these ideas with them. Including bizarre conventions such as the people of color hierarchy, where Kenyans and Ghanaians are higher on the totem poll than equally poor Bangladeshis or Indians. All of us “people of color” have to live within this paradigm.

What pushed me over the edge was facing these policies from the receiving end. I now routinely have to explain my “diversity” to white decision makers in a business context. And my kids—I’ve had three since I wrote that post—are being encouraged to identify as “people of color.” So they can spend the rest of their lives writing diversity essays and trying to persuade white people to pick them.

College racial preferences aren’t the only problem here, but I’m convinced that—given how influential higher education is in American society—they’re the root of the problem.

On an adjacent note, my wife worked at an eye doctor's office for a good while as an optical tech. She said that the number of people who drove themselves to their appointments that flat out _could not see well enough to drive safely_ was absolutely staggering.

It's a wonder that we're not just constantly running into each other all the time out on the road.

One of the tough things about a party-controlled, self-hosted e-signature is that it becomes easier to repudiate because a party to the contract has custody of the platform.

The non-custodial party can claim they never signed, and when the custodial party produces evidence of IP address and timestamp, the non-custodial party may have a credible argument that they are faked and the person asserting those authenticated details has the motive and means to fake them.

That argument is much harder to assert with something like DocuSign because it is unlikely DocuSign would put their business on the line to fake someone's signature.

I'm not saying repudiation based on custody of the e-signature platform is a winning argument, but it's something to consider before self-hosting if you are going to use the platform to sign your own contracts.
A friend of mine survived it, I wouldn't wish pancreatic cancer on even my enemies. That stuff is tough. I do the Purple Stride with her every year to celebrate her battle.

You've never needed to set up DHCP to use IPv4.
It depends on what's available. If you grew up in abject poverty on a rural farm then getting a job in doors, in air conditioning, without requiring brutal, repetitive physical labor is like heaven - requiring you to work 15 hour days and 7 days a week is a small price to pay. If you grew up in a wealthy suburb, then the baseline is 40-hour weeks in the same conditions, and you have aspirations to either a) work less for the same money or b) make a lot more money. Anything else is "abusive" to you. There's something like labor arbitrage going on here...
Agent Forwarding is not a trivial thing to take lightly, but a knee-jerk reaction "ban it entirely" is too much.

I forward my agent by default because I've set it up securely. My setup is safe from this exploit too (I use gpg-agent as my SSH Agent). In return I get the seamless convenience I cannot get through any other method. Jump hosts are fine (and I use them too) but there is no way I'd be able to do remote git operations in ephemeral dev containers without the peace of mind (and safety) that agent forwarding gives me.

Creating keys on remote dev envs for git operations is _less_ secure than agent forwarding, even when those keys are encrypted (passphrase protected) at rest, because they have to be loaded into memory on the (potentially compromised) remote host.
The people in other reference frames must just be simulations, so their experiences are invalid.
Typically, the difference between equivalent JSON and Protobuf payloads that have been gzipped is quite small. It can even be that the gzipped Protobuf payload is larger than gzipped JSON one. Granted, there's less data to decompress out of it, which may mean a faster decompression stage, but I'm not sure that's a bottleneck in the first place.

So, do they not compress requests between microservices? Otherwise, how did they see such a reduction?
Who’s “bending over backwards” here? When gambling is regulated, nothing of value is lost. Also, when a ‘few’ people are capable of propping up an industry worth hundreds of billions, your definition of ‘few’ is pretty suspect.

This is the approach that finally worked for me and have been using this for past 4 years.

I create a top level directory for collection of related repositories. It lets me configure git for different collection of repositories.
> Does any developer here on HN really believe that JSON parsing (plus schema validation) is what adds the most latency to a request? It just doesn't add up that just switching to PB would deliver that speedup.
