It's almost like they don't want us to run exit nodes...

This man's plight is exactly the reason I won't.
I don't know about exports but for certain there's quite a lot of water Israel transfers to Jordan as part of the 90s peace accords. That's a huge deal in the Mid East.

For decades, the weather report in Israel would include the water level of the Sea of Galilee, the only real lake in the country and the source of most of the nation's drinkable water. It would be a major concern during droughts. Now there's so much desalinated water that some are actually being pumped into the lake, for environmental reasons.
Other countries could create their gTLD as they see fit: .gouv, .ukgov, etc.

They instead prefer using a SLD (like .gouv.fr) because they’re complete owner of their ccTLD. ccTLDs are not affiliated in anyway with ICANN. I’m guessing .gov is a special case nowadays, and probably considered like a ccTLD from the ICANN point of view, I’ll have to look into it

Edit: it seems like gov is considered as a Sponsored TLD[1] (sTLD). Not sure what it implies.

The root of all of these is: nobody really cares. The PM is just trying to cram features X, Y, and Z in before the sprint ends so that metrics A, B, and C can go up. The engineer (as you said) just wants to close tickets and implements whatever is in the ticket, regardless of whether it's the right way. QA probably caught this, but the ticket was prioritized as a P3 and buried with the other 459 P3 bugs that nobody is ever going to look at. The senior exec doesn't even know what autofocus is and just wants the $ chart to go up rather than down. He's really the only one on the totem pole with any power to say "Wait, stop, this isn't right--it isn't beautiful, it isn't complete, and the little details matter." But he won't because he is a businessman, not a craftsman.

Another post in two weeks that reminds me of that S.Jobs quote I lean on a lot: “When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

Nobody seems to care about the aesthetic or quality anymore. Software development has become a beige, boring assembly line where brains go in as input and "Metrics Go Up" comes out the other end of the factory.
How much could a good lawyer with a long and distinguished career make in the private market? That's how much we should be paying our judges. If you want the best you have to at least be moderately competitive with what's on offer. I have a similar opinion about legislators -- we probably want top tier doctors and executives and lawyers as our legislators. Being elected to office should not be a step down in their lifestyle.

I see private compensation for elite talent being completely out of whack -- the prices the public service must compete with -- as basically a separate issue.

Historically, a generous salary for legislators and various other high offices was part of the progressive/left platform in both the UK and France. They weren't paid before the 19th century, ensuring only the independently wealthy could hold those offices.
Seems dangerous to infer too much about the general behavior of entire species based on the observed behavior captured in two individuals at the moment they were being entombed in the lava flow from a volcanic eruption.

Like assuming that based on some skeletons found under a volcanic ash flow that the normal behavior of humans was running with your hands in the air and screaming really loudly.
Wow, the website of his hosting company[1] is, eh, extremly honest:

> Further, as Kosovo is an extremely corrupt country, we are able to bribe both executive and judicative as well as getting information about court orders and raids before execution, enabling us to move servers out of the affected location, protecting our clients in any situation. Our excellent Serbian connections enable us to also move servers cross-border and play "ping pong" between both countries, essentially keeping content online forever.

Farewell to the Network Effect
Actually it wouldn’t be an advantage. It would be a huge sunk cost (and added weight bogging down performance and handling) for a feature that virtually never gets used.

Tesla increases distance ideally by increasing efficiency. Their cars consistently score the best/lowest Wh/mi for their weight, by doing things like designing their own heat pump instead of traditional AC and resistive heating.

Because EV production is virtually always constrained by battery production, the number of cars you can sell is typically your battery production capacity (MWh) divided by your battery capacity per vehicle.

Their inherent efficiency combined with the Supercharger network to support longer trips lets them produce more cars at a lower cost / price.
YMMV, but for me as someone who can't charge at home, the options are:

* Charge at work (1-3kW so not always enough to fill battery, and chargers need to be shared some days... But my commute isn't long enough that I'd need a full charge every day)

* While shopping at the grocery store (some by me have free charging, especially if you shop at non-peak times)

* There's a few chargers attached to lampposts on my street. $2/hr at 7kW, so cheaper for me than gas. Sometimes these are ICE'd out, but parking enforcement in my city recently got the ability to enforce EV-only parking spots

* Public library (free). There used to be some issues with vagrants but less so since the library got a security guard

* Movie theater

* Mall (the problem is that these are 350kW chargers, so the car is probably full too quickly to do any shopping)

* Most of my long drives are to visit family, so they usually have a 120v plug I can use. If you're in a place where the standard voltage is higher, this is even more viable. And there's plenty of 350kW chargers along the freeways.

Show HN: Tailored resumes based on job descriptions
> [DB is] more like 10 different companies all operating under one umbrella.

A standard part of an acquisition is integrating and migrating IT over a defined time period, so you don't keep accruing and perpetuating technical debt. Who were the CIOs at DB?
Ask HN: What ML/AI architechtures used in chemistry/biology, engineering?
Any papers?
Like, what an ML used to determine the epigenetic clocks was. Or how is it used in electrical/mechanical/materials engineering. Or in small molecule therapeutics engineering and bioelectric reprogramming. Or in how to speed up clinical trials and generalize (via transfer learning) from mouse to humans?

There is some YC startup developing this, and another startup featured at Foresight Institute to speed up clinical trials with AI.
I'd like to get familiar just with a general approach.
Because I'm taking a Machine Learning with Python course on freecodecamp and got some ideas about AI/ML applications to small molecule design in cellular reprogramming.
Hi HN!

I have been working on https://resgen.app for a couple weeks, and wanted to share it since it has been helpful for me in my own job search.

The idea came about after the frustration of tailoring each resume for each job. The way we actually talk about our experiences and the way they are portrayed on the resume are sometimes different. So, I wanted to make something that takes my rambling about my experiences and turn it into a custom resume for each job.

Resgen is a chrome extension / web app that tailors your experiences to best match the job description. On every LinkedIn job, a new button will appear that says "Generate". When clicked, a tailored resume will be generated using the experiences you entered on the app. It's also a good way to keep track of which resumes went to which job.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
Want fewer car accidents? Remove traffic signals and road signs (2017)
First, I want to stress that I'm a Policy Wonk turned Cybersecurity practitioner. Though I have a STEM education, I haven't touched chemistry or physics in almost a decade.

That said, this paper does look promising and it kind of reminds me of the heavy water electrolysis process used in Nuclear Energy.

Using saltwater instead of fresh+distilled water would be great, though I'm curious about the cost of productionizing this, as the kind of cost and energy outlay needed for this at scale might not be efficient.

That said, I am not a ChemE or Physicist so I could be wrong

> Seems green hydrogen is the ultimate strategy.

Yep, but that will take time to build, hence the idea to use brown hydrogen in the meantime.
I remember reading a horror book about rats in London after a nuclear war. One scene has stuck with me for 3 decades:

A woman sits in her house pretending to have a cup of tea. She's dying of radiation poisoning but goes through the motions of her pre apocalypse life rather than face what is happening. Bugs swarm through the dirty water in the tea mug, but she's denied reality so deeply that she doesn't see them.

It feels like industrial societies, especially governments and corporate leadership, are doing the same thing. Denying reality because the alternative is too big, too mind numbingly terrifying to accept.

I was walking my dog this morning, and had a flash of an imagined future. The grass was replaced by soil that was brown and cracked. Lush trees and foliage gone, only withered stumps remain. Houses were gone, just a few burnt beams left. No wildlife at all.

Maybe we should use all that AI power to generate a satellite and street view showing the potential future. Though I can't delude myself into thinking it would change anyone's mind.

To save you all the trouble: OK Doomer.
nicely done - props to the vendor (which is one of the best), but not gross. excellent level of information, explanation, experimentation, teardown.
Great, now disable it on mobile where opening the on-scree keyboard is jarring.
short answer....Brexit and a political class that hates the populace

And an economy that doesn't really manufacture anything. I know that others will have more statistics than me but Britain isn't really known for producing anything is it.
I'm trying to imagine a plausible reason to (a) run a Tor exit node, but also (b) not actually use Tor for online nefariousness, and I'm coming up blank. I don't think running a Tor node as an excuse is a real scenario. (edit: emphasis)

Edit2: Jeez guys. I support Tor. I'm saying anyone who runs an exit node is also going to use Tor for anything that might get them in trouble, not do those thing in the clear and "use Tor as an excuse" as suggested above. That's a silly scenario and a poor justification for criminalizing Tor exit nodes.
One of my favorite relevant quotes, whether you’re talking about code or user interfaces:

The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise. — Edsger Dijkstra
True enough. But even this level of detail and research is far beyond what the "authorities" displayed in this case.
The tragedy of JS if blocks being statements not expressions is made explicit here
I stopped running a Tor non-exit node from home a few years back, because a lot of websites and platforms blacklist any IP associated with Tor. I couldn't actually watch anything on Hulu for years (though they were still happy to take my money, which I refused to give them) because of this.

Running a tor node is a thankless thing one can choose to do. Nevertheless I did for years. I don't do it anymore.
The founder of Microsoft, has wealthy connected parents and grandparents.

The founder of Facebook too

The founder of Google grew up in Academic family.

--

All of them received financial support, reducing risks loosing living expenses.
Risk of loosing livelyhood, significanly changes how a founder or an enegineer spends their time.

Connecting young people to networks of rich, influencial and generally experienced & smart people -- is a huge deal as well.

It improves their verbal skills, perception management, broadness their knowlege.

All of the above, can probably be easily found in many Stanford, Harvard, MIT graduates...

None of the are 'competitively obtained skills' due to 'hard work'.

--

Additionally moral choices that favor lying, fudging facts and intentions -- may also be a characterstics of graduates from those types of schools... This an opinion.

All of the above contributes to successfull financial outcomes.

None are particularly representative of person's merits compared to others...
The link is to a debugging and testing version of the document. Notice the "debug" in the URL: "https://sqlite.org/debug/matrix/whynotgit.html"

The correct link is https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html
Look at what DeepMind has done with the universal Atari video game player, AlphaGo, AlphaStar (Starcraft II), etc. See the new Netflix "Unknown: Killer Robots" documentary. There are already companies testing AI that controls swarms of drones or (in simulation?) jets.

These types of AI will be (if they aren't already) so much faster and strategically superior to humans, militaries will have to deploy them. And if they want to be competitive, the extreme speed advantage of the AI means they will need to remove humans from the loop.

Despite all of the propaganda, military activities are strategic, NOT ethical.

The only way you can remove the added danger of superintelligent (hyperspeed) AI military deployment and have real security is to find a geopolitical solution other than war. Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.
The anti-tivoization clause does not require root filesystem access - that is one path allowing modification, but not a particularly secure one. keeping a secured booth path to unmodified original firmware&fs is fine as long as access to an alternate bootpath of the device in order to use modified software is allowed.
The work involved probably includes porting to the Snapdragon NSP for throughput and efficiency's sake.

For LLMs the biggest challenge is addressing such a large model - or finding a balance between the model size and its capability on a mobile device.
What Most People Still Get Wrong About Covid Management
you seem to have strong sense of ownership on your land, maybe your ancestors owned that land for very long time, but keep in mind that your ancestors came from somewhere and nobody denied them the right to stay and live
Gotcha. Thanks! :)
C++ interop is impressive, and notoriously hard to get right. This seems like it would be able to cover a lot of APIs.

Swift and C# are the well-designed languages I'd rather use at my work instead of Go. It's a real shame both are effectively locked into a specific platform.

You can really tell that they had years of attention and careful design by experts in PL poured into them. Go seems like an amateur hobby project in comparison.
To be fair, I am not sure it was your perceived lack of reach in my specific case. I simply got burned out on trying to use reader apps, given there are so many of them out there, all just not feeling quite right to me at the end of the day (similar to how there are bajillion different todo apps of all kinds and sizes).

So it isn't like i had some specific set of requirements that i was looking for in a reader app and was actively searching for it. It was more of a case of "i don't know what i actually want until i see it, and i gave up on actively searching for it". Tastefully opinionated defaults and workflows draw me in, can't argue with that.

Realistically, no matter how wide your reach could've been, I probably wouldn't have noticed the app unless I saw an HN thread about it like this one. That's a datapoint of one though.
The target market is someone who

1. is tech-savvy and runs an app/service with a bunch of users

2. has tried existing emailing platforms and feel that they're too expensive

3. wants full freedom of who they target their emails to

A tech-savvy person could make their own solution, and that's what I wanted to do with my site CubeDesk, but it's surprisingly difficult and time-consuming, which gave me the idea for this service.

The English -> SQL thing is just a fun feature I added since I'm excited about LLMs. Comes in handy for folks who aren't SQL experts (like me).

Totally agree on the security concerns. That seems to be the main feedback in this thread and will be my main focus going forward!
Elon Musk says an ‘X’ will soon mark the spot where Twitter used to be
Toyota and its fellow Japanese car makers were betting the bank on hydrogen based green cars. This was wishful thinking but they had a reason. A regular ICE car produces several post sales revenue streams. For example, regular oil changes, brake replacements, engine issues and etc. EV's produce almost none of these ongoing revenue streams and therefor the ongoing value for Toyota would drop significantly.

With hydrogen based car though it's an almost exact copy of the ICE car. It's got a big, hot finicky fuel cell under the hood that requires ongoing highly qualified maintenance. It would require complex 'hydrogen stations' to refuel. If there's no battery then brakes will continue to wear out on schedule. In short, everything a ICE car offers except the CO2.

It's not surprising that this is the future that Toyota had its eyes on for way too long. Group think. Now they're playing catch up and they're far behind.

The paper discusses that.

It is possible that the mammal was scavenging the carcass of the dinosaur when the two became buried. This proposed scenario would account for the large size of the dinosaur relative to the mammal (terrestrial predators usually favour prey that are not much larger than themselves, particularly when hunting alone), and the fact that the mammal was biting the ribs of the dinosaur when it died, which would otherwise have been difficult to access (but not impossible—see below) on a living prey item. However, while plausible, we cite three lines of evidence that challenge this hypothesis. First, the bones of the dinosaur are otherwise devoid of tooth marks, which are commonly left by carnivorous mammals while scavenging. Second, it seems unlikely that the two animals would have become so entangled, were the dinosaur dead prior to the arrival of the mammal. Third, the scavenging scenario does not predict the position of the mammal atop the dinosaur, since the mammal could presumably just as easily have eaten the dinosaur from ground level.

We propose instead that the two animals were buried in an act of predation on the part of the mammal, only for both to have been entombed by a sudden lahar-type volcanic debris flow (Fig. 2). This hypothesis would explain the entwined nature of the skeletons, wherein the left hindfoot of the mammal became trapped within the folded left leg of the dinosaur when it collapsed to the ground. It would also account for the lack of tooth marks and other indications of scavenging on the dinosaur’s skeleton, and for the mammal’s position atop the dinosaur, as though to subdue its weakened prey.
Couldn't you say the same for every coffee shop that gives random people Wi-Fi access?
"Because the clock say so". Like in Pratchett's Small Gods, we shouldn't believe in the clock instead of the worrying trends that are unleashing in front of us. There was a lot of political and economic players putting that limit, but right now it looks pretty evident than we already might had crossed the safe limits, and by a long shot.
This is a bad joke, right? Would you hold the politicians that you support to the same standards? Of course not, and none of Bernie’s supporters could possibly care less if he has a home in Vermont and a home in DC just like literally every single senator.

You can't possibly even know what socialism is if making such an airheaded comment.
This case was in Austria, not the US, and was quite some time ago (early 2010s). He was charged under a law criminalizing "support of general distribution", not possession. He was sentenced to probation, and left the country.
I think your world model is a bit off here. Each tech job creates multiple non-tech jobs on average (1.5-2 in the bay area, last I checked). It's true we're coming out of a mini-recession in tech, but in general over the past 10 years there have been way more job openings than workers.

Someone experienced continuing to work in tech is a net benefit to society; they contribute way above median taxes and their economic activity generates jobs. It's not zero-sum; the more people working in tech as senior engineers, the richer society gets.

The only case I think you could actually point to net downsides is that within tech, it's possibly easier for a more junior to get a job replacing a more senior when the latter retires, from reduction of competition. So from a selfish perspective of "I want your job" sure it makes your life easier if a senior engineer retires.

I'll put a [citation needed] on your claims around downsides to society and leave it at that. Judging by the downvotes it seems others don't agree with you either; if you want to persuade people I think you need to provide some concrete evidence.
a function _if(cond, a, b) would probably have been better.
This isn't a parody, right? I mean, surely no-one would (seriously) say this in public in real life?

Right?
If you want the equivalent of if-expression in JS, I think it is much better to make a separate function with a number of returns.
In this case the function is already there:

function deriv(exp, variable) {
if (is_number(exp)) {
return 0;
}
if (is_variable(exp)) {
if (is_same_variable(exp, variable)) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
if (is_sum(exp)) {
return make_sum(deriv(addend(exp), variable),
deriv(augend(exp), variable));
}
if (is_product(exp)) {
return make_product(deriv(multiplier(exp),
variable),
multiplicand(exp)))
}
return error(exp, "unknown expression type -- deriv");
}
I have never really made extensive use of either docker or k8s, but those things always made me feel weird and I always saw those as some kind of shotgun solution to nightmare-ish software who are so complex, badly written and designed that they requires some kind of hazmat suit to work properly.

The NYT keeps getting worse. The article goes on and on and doesn't say anything (in the first ~75% or so that I muddled through) about how the proposed negotiations are different than the status quo.
