It's an interesting point. I think it's educational to have people obviously adjusting their position when corrected. It's almost a rarity these days, and I think someone accepting they were wrong is refreshing!

Granted, the TLDR at the top would have helped haha, especially if it was a long post.
K so unsafe code can run inside of the JVM that runs Minecraft.

I assume that the user can then just kill his Minecraft session which solves the client side problem but that leaves Minecraft multiplayer servers vulnerable to exploitation.

Am I missing anyrhing else here? Apologies, I'm stupid.
Great write-up. To think how much some innocuous things like offshore mooring points can become a critical asset.

Also really enjoyed this factoid:

>a new tanker in this class costs $40-$60 million, often less than one load of fuel it carries.
A bit like duck typing.
I mean, yeah, you're right, I was being sarcastic

Obviously they don't put it in to destroy your teeth, and despite what the other replier said, it _is_ important why (in reality: better flavor), which is _why_ they went through the effort of falsely attributing why it's done (in fantasy: to destroy teeth)

p.s., phosphoric acid is delicious, that's why people like products with it in it. Back in the days of soda fountains, they'd add it in! Now it's mixed into cocktails, sometimes with various other acids (citric, tartaric, etc)
Seems like a useful formalism though, at least coming from a programming background.

Maybe some kind of "it's all of them at once" mental model is useful in math, but object oriented programming gives you a hierarchal mindset, everything is in a container of some sort, so multiple return values having a container like a set makes perfect sense and just a bunch of loose values isn't a very familiar concept.

But perhaps if you're actually doing math, things are different?
Oh come on, this attack is nothing like this - this attack is “We intentionally stripped the safety isolation of our electric wire and licked it and got shocked”.
>The company has tested sweelin in a range of foods, achieving a 70% reduction in the sugar content of ketchup and a 50% reduction in that of chocolate, for example, without changing palatability.

Why can they not replace 100% of the sugar? For their top line advertisement, feels like there is some gotcha that prevents total sugar substitution.
I think it’s not ideological. It’s just greed. Rent seeking is all these people want in the end and for that they need it controlled.

Safety research is not a bullshit job - it’s good that these models have safety such as not randomly jumping you with rape fantasies in the midst of financial discussions (hi Alpaca).

It’s the whole security theatre posturing that’s the problem. We can have regulation that says don’t store knives at child accessibility and it makes the world a safer place but this research is about deliberately plunging a knife into your hand and complaining it’s not blunt enough
I think they meant: "then humanity is set... to benefit from the discovery." Just a guess.
There are social pressures why a kid wouldn't want to move between tracks. All their friends are there.

They may also want to avoid moving to a higher track to avoid teasing from colleagues for being a "smarty-pants" or perceived as too good for the friend group.
I find it interesting that you insist there is no value to word choice on buttons in this comment, but your previous comment thread four hours prior (and ongoing) on another post delves into very pedantic semantics on naming types. Would you please explain the difference between the two cases?
This is pretty much exactly how the public education system is structured here in Switzerland. Early years focus primarily on socialization, multilingualism, literacy and basic numeracy. Then as you move through later elementary school to middle and finally through the Matura phase there are rapid accelerations and bifurcations. If you can keep up you continue on the path to ETHZ and other top Unis. If not you move into the trade or technical school or lower Uni tracks. There is a chance to come back but the baseline expectatio. Is that about 20% of students will go straight through the Matura process. If you complete you have basically free access to any university in Switzerland. ETHZ is something like CHF800/semester. But the trade and technical school path is also good IMO. It’s appropriate.

It’s also not a perfect system but much much better than what I grew up with in the US compared to what I’m seeing now with my son here.
The FSF lost its way at least 10 years ago, though probably longer. The whole tech landscape has shifted while they still focus on the distinction between firmware stored on a wifi card nand vs being loaded on initialisation. No one but RMS can work out how this makes a difference.

Their non budging stance on issues that hardly make sense or are logically inconsistent, meanwhile society is rapidly shifting to a constant mandatory surveillance state.

At this point the FSF is just a Richard Stallman fan club. So kicking him out would scrap their last bit of relevance.
From my comment: "Now, you could argue that global warming is bad / enough freeways cannot be built / etc., sure. Maybe we cannot have nice things.

But don't argue that people want to live in urban paradise and some contrived system is simply not giving them what they want. "

I just don't like the hypocrisy.

However, it's the comments like this that make me think that for any equivalent level of far-, left is worse than right. The right wants to decide how you should live your life; so does the left, but the left does it in this vindictive, holier-than-thou ninny kind of way ;)
Barcelona is hot too but somehow it works, bc less cars and more trees(especially near sidewalks) means nicer walking even in hot summer
"Greater Houston is 10,000 square miles with 7.5 million people. Greater Amsterdam is 1000 square miles with 2.5 million people." - yes, we know that american towns are inferior because of parking requirements and local zoning, yes the problem is more complex, but does this mean it's not a problem or ppl just should start slowly fixing it? (Like abolishing parking reqs, zoning laws and just pass a law that forces companies to build a nice sidewalk&bike lane when a street is renovated, slowly fixing the problem). We can't know for sure walkable city will not work in Huston because laws generally prohibit building one with those stupid requirements
Yes. This is correct.

Though the extent of it really matters, I always hear "Norway is a capitalist country" when their economy is primarily in the hands of the state, more than for example Venezuela.

But people tend to point to Venezuela, and not Norway, as an example of a failed state owned economy.

It's not really about "sectors" of the economy that are publicly owned but actual economic output. The money in the US is produced and it is in the hands of private individuals most of it. In Norway near 70% of it is produced and in the hands of the state. Obviously Norway is a particular example because they're a country that relies on natural resources extraction. But you can look at other similar countries in terms of their exports (Australia, Chile) and see how the Norwegian model differs.

The USPS, for example, is a service. It's not really a business, it doesn't have to be profitable it ideally has to be sustainable but I wouldn't say it's a necessity. Not only that, it subsidised private businesses like Amazon.

Of the similarly-aged protocols, I think it's the most difficult (which is not saying much).

SMTP and HTTP can be pretty easily done by hand, which makes them more accessible to a person learning the protocols themselves.

DNS the protocol is simple, but I do think there's something to be said for how complex it is if you want to say, set up your own domain from which to reliably send e-mail.
Mentioned in the article, but forced rhubarb grows so fast you can hear it. This soundcloud file suggests hearing it in a darkened vault by candlelight would be extraordinary experience!

You often need the chemical properties of sugar to maintain texture. It’s not just a question of flavor or sweetness.
I wouldn't call this behaviour a "preference" as such however. Engaging in coitus with the nearest available object out of sexual frustration is probably more akin to using a fleshlight than our "in love with the same gender" definition of homosexuality.
Probably has to do with palatability. Like how full sugar Coke tastes great and zero calorie Coke tastes terrible. The half sugar half stevia Coke tastes better than zero calorie but worse than full sugar. They probably tested each food and detected the inflection point where taste scores started suffering.
Probably because even though it tastes like sugar, it doesn't behave like sugar, which has a more active role in baked goods than as a simple flavoring agent.

Nothing stopping people from putting it on broccoli.
Gzip as a classifier is surprisingly good and you should use it as a benchmark for your neural network.
Could be the size of the molecule that will activate the relevant taste receptors, or the number of active molecules in a given volume of product, or given weight.

No, if your blog isn't AI it's worthless. If your newspaper isn't AI it's worthless. If your company website isn't entirely AI in every sense of the word, guess what. Worthless.

That's my observation. I run a relatively popular software marketplace/directory where people submit and present their software products. AI related tools is hottest topic for sure. However, as you've guessed, many of them are either disfunctioning or seem to be abandoned.

To me, it's like a gold rush where everyone is trying their luck. My expectations - a small portion will make it, and then they will be acquired by the "whales".
This is kind of the fault of phoronix, as Leah's release was always marked as unofficial.
You don’t need sugar for textural reasons for either chocolate or ketchup. It almost surely has to do with taste.
It’s either 3000x sweeter by volume or number of calories per X amount of sweetness.

I’m pretty sure it’s the latter but it doesn’t seem easy to Google.
You can get ketchup and chocolate without any sugar at all.
Yes, problem is complex but also easy fixable in long term: abolish parking reqs & allow building dense buildings & force building nice sidewalk+trees+bike lane+ safety islands on every street renovation. This way there is no upfront cost to rebuild everything instantly, instead same public resources will be used(street renovation money is already allocated) and the town will become more walkable gradually

USPS is profitable, though. (even if Congress messes with their retirement accounting to make it look worse)

If they subsidize anyone it's China, because we forced them to do that by signing the UPU treaty. After that it's people who buy forever stamps.
Not if you’re a fossil fuel fan I guess
This is cool, but I've been using Allulose as sugar has some specific properties (such as rising dough, preservative, etc.) that are pretty important and lost with other properties, and it's low-carb. What's the advantages?
Seems like we have like 800 natural and artificial gums, flours, emulsifiers, etc, some of which are even occasionally considered health food ingredients, and most almost all of which seems healthier than sugar, why not use those for the baking texture if you're going to use the fake sugar for sweetness?
16:9 is a terrible ratio for a computer, but a good one for a movie tablet.
In this case, isn't it kindof right though? If it says it represents a file descriptor, not a concrete file. The descriptor reads the file for you. You close the descriptor, not the file, etc. Though in that case you could argue the name of the object should be FileDescriptor and not File. You are onto something, often we model functions to act on objects, not objects to be tools acting on other objects.
If they wanted to prevent you from using the Pencil, it seems like you wouldn't be able to use it at all. Not just use it poorly.

Code execution in a JVM is typically equivalent to code execution on the host where it's running.

Because this vulnerability affects both clients and servers, it sounds like a good way for someone to write a worm that ends up creating a giant botnet by spreading from servers to clients and vice-versa.
Looks hella cool and if you don’t mind me asking what’s the MRR and what’s the tech stack that powers it.

Yeah, I mean we have been doing work for these systems. We’re all basically data entry for a giant database that ends up I suppose getting mined for value and maybe producing AI.

That was Larry pages Initial goal with Google anyway, his goal was to create an AI not a search engine, and the search engine was simply a means to that, I feel sad for him as seems like openai got there first.
> I don’t think an encyclopaedia should cater to racist views of its readers over factual information

Uh, nobody thinks this. I'm sensing an straw man argument fast incoming..

> So it seems unreasonable to stretch the truth to diversify or narrow down the number of people you mention

It's entirely unclear where you see the truth being stretched? Factually recognizing important contributions by people from under-represented backgrounds is doing the exact opposite of narrowing the "number of people you mention". It's literally mentioning more people who contributed to a certain effort or field of study.
I've never understood how ppl get drunk with low alcohol drinks (beer/wine/something similar). After 1 beer I'm literally full, I feel my belly full and just can't push more
There are cases where people are intractable in their beliefs, and both may be right. Abortion in the US is a good example. Regardless of what I personally believe, I will not write off half the people I meet as moral idiots or say that they don't have a valid point. I think both sides are right and wrong, and I don't have the indecency to believe I should be an arbiter of every case. And I could argue either side. That's important when you go from your general principles to being forced to deal with the individual cases. The most astonishing thing about the law is what it shows you about the individual nature of most incidents. No two things are alike.

If you are in a courtroom, say, serving on a jury, you will be presented with carefully crafted discussion and debate which will make you think the best and worst of both sides. The lawyers presenting those cases could switch at any moment and present to you the opposite side's case. Does the opposite side not deserve representation? How many false convictions resulted in the death penalty because a lawyer failed to argue their client's case well enough? How many pagans were burned at the stake, or Christians crucified and fed to lions, because people were taught that argumentation was to decide which position to pick? Discussion is to open your eyes, not close your mind.

What a wise person has wannabe philosopher has to do to counter this situation? My example is bad because all I can do is just to burn less. But what are any ways to make the world (including you and me) to burn less?
Sadly, it seems the kind of caution you advocate is conspicuously absent from cable "news" punditry. Even worse, there are millions of viewers who feel that they are being informed by this kind of caustic debate.
Sugar substitutes can differ from actual sugar in several ways. The sweetness may take longer to be detected, it may stick around longer (aftertaste), and there may be other, bitter flavors in addition to the sweetness. As others have mentioned, sugar also has various technical roles in food, such as softening baked goods and acting as a preservative.
Folks with inherited diabetes do not have the option of moderation. You don't need to see this through such a narrow political lens. Some fermented nut-based vegan cheeses are healthier for the heart. Should we moan about that invention and insist on dairy based cheese, moderation, and less choice? No one is forcing you to use these new things.

> Unusually warm water (as little as 1 °C above usual summer means) can cause the breakdown of the symbiosis and the mass expulsion of zooxanthellae, referred to as “coral bleaching.” [1]

Coral bleaching isn't typical and is a direct indication of water temperatures exceeding the max habitable temperatures. You can look at coral, or manatees, or algal blooms to confirm that our present conditions are anomalous. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but the research is in regarding rising sea temperatures.

> But you do this automatically when you are trying to discern the truth - invalid arguments are to be eliminated.

The world would look a lot different if this were something people do "automatically". No, it is laborious and emotionally difficult, and even smart and intellectually honest people who try hard fail at it often.

> The whole point of discussion and debate should be to decide which position to pick (because it's the factually correct one).

Something in this formulation reminded me of those times at university - I was going through some sort of crisis during the first year. In my country at the time, elementary school and even high school approached things kind of like "there are things you don't know yet and once you learn the facts, you will know the truth". University destroyed this for me. I started to realize how flawed our brains are and how complex reality is. There are facts that are and always will be beyond our grasp and we can only have approximations of approximations, simplified models that hopefully work well enough to be useful. It was surprisingly emotionally difficult for me to accept that fundamental insecurity and un-discoverability of some ultimate "truth".
upd I have found a list of female philosophers in the topic, thank you HN.
Yes but we've seen added sugar to be quite an addictive substance. People want to quit and it's difficult. You will feel the void of sugar.
So if there's a healthy alternative that can reduce sugar. It is a highly valuable stepping stone where the success of it would be to make itself unnecessary (although still fun to use!)
I think if it's natural and doesn't pose health risks that it sounds great.

Couldn't you say the same thing for iOS/iPadOS though? It's up to the developers to manually support iPads. To date, very well known and popular apps like Instagram still run as iPhone-sized.

You know, sometimes it's very hard to judge.

I'm of xUSSR descent, and sometimes when I see a group of chinese colleagues speaking together loudly, it is very weird to me, as soometimes they are so loud that if it was in Russian it would mean that the brawl could start any second. It is hard to judge sometimes.

Even in written communication it is was told to me many times that many Russians, especially those with B1/B2 levels, as well as Jewish people are extremely direct, and it may be perceived as native speakers as rude, although it isn't meant to.
There were years of hope in the semiconductor industry that somebody would come up with something better rather than having to make that nightmare work.

Alternatives were tried. Synchrotron EUV sources. (works, but huge).
Linear accelerators (The SLAC beamline was used as a light source as a test). X-ray lasers (don't work yet). Electron beam lithography (works, but too slow.)

There's got to be a better way to do this.
