I do believe both parties see the other this way.

Archive.is believes that Cloudflare can simply provide the full EDNS data, and they're technically right. But Cloudflare won't budge because they believe this is hostile to user privacy. I haven't heard a counterargument that Cloudflare is wrong about this.

Cloudflare believes that Archive.is can simply live without the EDNS data, and they're technically right. But Archive.is won't budge because they believe it prevents their abuse prevention techniques. They mention that owning their own AS would solve the problem but that's too expensive.[1]

Blame is in the eye of the beholder, but it seems to me that Archive.is should find alternative abuse prevention techniques like other websites do. Cloudflare has an argument based on privacy. Archive.is has an argument based on the proper solution being too expensive. The expense of running an AS is disputed in this HN thread.[2]

The common understanding seems to be that producing true LK99 is very difficult as you need to get the crystal structure just right. Many samples probably have mixes of the correct and other structures. That's why some float and some don't. The sample might be quite "dirty", meaning the critical temperature is lower.
I'm not sure if it occurs to you, but exactly the same statement applies to every country on earth.

"If you ignore the really bad cases, the average is fine".

Australia accepts more immigrants per capita than any other country on earth - so it's extremely diverse, and remote. Why are the health outcomes in Australia AT LEAST 10x better than the US?

> "do the ads actually work and how well" doesn't matter all that much to the people running the auction house

The people running the ads are measuring the results in different ways. Whether or not they see measurable increases attributed to their ad spend is what keeps them coming back, or not.

Auction houses are inextricably linked to the results they are driving. It's most of the reason they get most of their business.

This is why companies like Google and Facebook control so much of the ad market. Not just because they are popular publishers, but because they have some of the most sophisticated ad delivery and measurement platforms.

I can transfer an ad click ID through to a sale and into my CRM, showing a 100% direct attribution. This attribution determines my likelihood to choose an "auction house" in the future.

It's kind of crazy the level of disrespect and outright dismissal the HN community gives to the ad world.

Probably the entire peloton was -- if so, can it still be considered cheating?

Of course, not everybody used EPO and not everybody who did used as much as Riis, Ullrich, Pantani, Virenque, Armstrong, Zabel, Hamburger... Blood doping existed long before EPO. Amphetamines (and strychnine!) were used long before blood doping. Induráin almost certainly used either EPO or blood doping.

EPO and blood doping can still be used (and are likely still used) but noone can push it to the dangerous extremes of the 90's. That will be caught (because such hematocrit values aren't allowed anymore -- and it's easy to test for).

AOL and the early ISPs set up base there, and the first IX was created there.

Now if you want to go back further and ask why ISPs set up shop there, that's likely due to location and nearby population.
We had an agent team at my previous employer, five people, all with several years of experience with C/C++, Linux and Mach kernels, etc. Most based in Austin, and this wasn't a large operation by any means.

But of course you could easily find cheaper engineers somewhere else, you are looking at a pool of people two or three times larger after all.

We also outsourced to Israel, India, and Ukraine, between 2012 and 2018. The final outcome was to dismantle all the operations there, move some to Mexico, and repatriate most of the work to the US.
No I mean why is this "huge" when each time that's happened it's been deflated within 12 hours:

- initial LK-99 paper upload on Arxiv: HUGE, then it's probably nothing until replication (waiting)

- DFT release: HUGE, then probably nothing (DFT has poor predictive power)

- 110K SC: HUGE, then ... ?

In every case it's been the laymen saying HUGE, then the experts saying it's probably insignificant. Then the laymen settle on what the experts said.
Thanks, I take it as a compliment.
I believe 110K is where it hit zero resistivity (the lower bound) but any increase from there and it was no longer presenting superconductivity.

If we are to trust the SK team, it's possible the design in the paper is outdated and in-house they have dialed it in to something stable at room temperature.

A meta point as someone who has been working in mathematical signal processing and ML professionally for a while -- at the time of writing, every single comment in this thread displayed a serious (yet unique!) misconception about AI, either as it works today or in general. I understand why it's gotten so buzzy in popular discourse, but it's sadly all but ruined discussion on social media (including HN).

Are there any good, maybe more gatekept forums for discussing AI news? It is great to have a community to discuss with, the field is so large and moving so fast, and there's so much to learn from other practitioners, but the SNR here (where i often find news) has just gotten so low.
Can someone with field expertise explain the implications if this material were real / replicable / cheaply manufacturable? I see a lot of breathless excitement in these comments, as if free energy and perpetual motion machines are right around the corner, but from the few details I've delved into it's more like the electric grid might get 10% more efficient, MRIs might get a little cheaper, etc.

What are the exciting and apparently obvious applications that have everyone so excited? Is it a fusion / tokamak containment thing, that the cost of cooling current superconducting magnets is one of the big barriers to net energy generation?
Uh huh, by which standard that Imperial Japan recognized and adhered to?
Unless you literally live in a wood shack in the forest like the Unabomber good luck existing in modern USA society without an SSN. I suppose you could probably do it if you inherited generational wealth and lived from birth to death only spending cash on things.
I mean, yes? There was a lot of talk years ago of the benefits of regenerative breaking. At the time the consensus was that for in city driving that could recoup a considerable amount of the energy. Add on top of that the efficiencies of burning fuel in a power station vs ICE, and it sounded like there was a good chance it’d be cheaper.

I haven’t heard a lot of those arguments in a long time though. Hard to say if they were founded or if they were just part of the marketing zeitgeist trying to get people excited for electric.

And of course, I just realized that no one talked about conditioning, hot and cold with power, that alone could account for some pretty big power bills. Pretty convenient…
Right, it took me reading four or five entries before I started to notice that it was really not normal.

And every single post is about an expensive new hardware purchase. Not just computers. Two motorcycles. A generator. Another generator. Solar panels (with accompanying drone footage of the overhead view). And then each post he hopefully points to some Houston-area business where you, too, can get your Hardware on.

It looks like guerrilla marketing aimed at nerds and tinkerers to me.
Adhering to that list seems exhausting…
Where I'm located I'm billed $.07 per kwh. My model 3 LR has a 75 kw battery, so to charge it from totally empty to totally full would cost $5.25. Tesla's claims are a bit inflated, but I can get 300 miles on a full charge, putting the cost to drive 100 miles at $1.75. Even if we took an extremely generous approximate of 50mpg, it would take 2 gallons for an ICE vehicle to travel 100 miles. Where I'm located, gas is going for $4 a gallon, so it would cost $8.00 to travel the same 100 miles in an ICE vehicle.

If you're charging at home, the EV easily wins.

However, charging away from home can get expensive. During peak hours, it's possible to find charging for $.50 per kwh. Now it would cost $37.50 or $12.50 to drive 100 miles. Compared to the $8.00 in the ICE car, the EV is more expensive.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to claim that most cars cost more to charge than to fill up with gas. If you are able to charge at home, EVs are cheaper to drive per mile.
huh. no substantive comments yet. overreaction to “hackeronies”. i like cute names like that. it also rubs the salt in the wound during a layoff so i further enjoy the irony.

does this mean the pentest industry as a whole is in decline? or did h1 over invest and is having a hangover now? or are competitors starting to drink their milkshake? or is shift left working?

i do also wonder how this affects their downstream contractors. “flours” to be consistent with their employee naming scheme.

We already pay these fees ourselves collectively because the advertising costs are incorporated into the price of products.

Plus we now pay an additional tax on top of it to Google et al.

Plus we pay with our attention, and with our data (as someone else already noted).

On top of this all, the near-monopoly of Google is forcing prices for ads up, and there is a vicious cycle where companies need to buy increasingly expensive ads to outcompete each other (or, to stay relevant). Which, of course, the consumer ultimately pays for.

I believe the current system is an abject failure that has seriously curtailed civil liberties, costs an endless fortune of taxpayer money, completely fails to help people who do have serious addiction problems and ruins lives, mostly of more vulnerable people, with fines and criminal records and jail time. It also force people to buy impure drugs, directly resulting in many deaths and accidental overdoses, including a huge part of the fentanyl death toll.

I think most of the popular drugs should be legalized with various levels of access and greater restrictions for the drugs we known are most prone to serious abuse, such as opioids and speed (along with nicotine and alcohol). There's simply no reason a grown adult shouldn't be able to smoke a joint or eat some mushrooms or do some lines of coke in their own home - and buy them safely and legally without undue fear of impurities.

Tesla M3 owner. Does it cost more to charge at a supercharger during peak hours in a state where gas is cheap? Absolutely. Does it cost less in states like California where gas is ridiculously expensive using a slow charger at home/workplace? Also absolutely.
Everyone agree. Oversimplifying, there are 3 categories to classify the initial team:

1) A bunch of clowns.

2) Interesting

3) Next Nobel prize winners

I think they had a good reputation in the community, so the opinion of the hivemind was to discard 1. But there was still the possibility of a honest mistake or something weird.

If this post is correct, other team confirmed that they discovered a new family of "high temperature" superconductor. The old families have been tweaked and explored to death. A new family gives a lot of room to optimize the composition and building process. So perhaps they found it.

If this is confirmed they are definitively in the "interesting" category, at least.
A good solution would be a flat tax plus a prebate. Tax all income at 15% regardless of the source, with no tax breaks or exceptions. The first $50k or so is tax free, and that could be handled as a prebate where everyone gets paid (taxRate * floor) by the govt[0]. This would be much more progressive than the current system and vastly simpler to implement and enforce.

Looking at the current capital gains rate is actually too rosy, since there are so many loopholes and exceptions that wealthy people can use to bring the rate down. The actual effective tax rate billionaires in the US pay is below 10%.

I doubt something like this will ever happen given how many selfish interests would fight against it. It sure would be great though if middle class workers didn't pay a higher tax rate than millionaires.

[0] I'm throwing out round numbers but have seen research that backs up figures in this ballpark.
Yes actually.

Years ago Tesla's website show of the cost of the Model 3 as ($Purchase Price - $Expected Gas savings), so instead of being presented with a $55,000 CAD purchase price, it was shown as around high $40,000 or something around there. I think that was circa 2017 but I'm not 100% sure.

So it was a selling point.
Ok, I'll bite. Where are the statistics supporting that?

In my case (Buenos Aires, IT work) it used to be the case that people all over the city and surrounding areas had to commute to the city's "microcenter" (what we call the financial/historical district), resulting in typical commute times of 1 to 2 hours. Dreadful.

So your statement doesn't ring true for us in Buenos Aires.
Ask HN: has Netflix open-sourced its metrics threshold tuning system from 2012?
Hey!

I just watched the presentation from post url and I really liked the tool Roy talked about at 19:00-22:40.

Also he answered a question (34:07-35:23) about which algorithm they use to actually tune thresholds by saying that he was sure it would be open-sourced at some point.

So I searched through the entire list of public repositories on https://github.com/Netflix?sort=stargazers and didn't find anything relatively similar to what Roy described.

Does anyone know:
1. What is the name of the metrics tuning system?
2. Is it open-source?
3. Is it actively supported or is it deprecated?

Thanks.

Creating something (writing a book, recording a song, etc) is a conversion of time (your only finite resource) into something of value (maybe only to you). It also turns out that having a profit motive and IP protection around creating valuable things is a fundamental requirement for having a creative industry to begin with. It's also what drives the free market to determine which creations are even valuable to begin with.

Most descriptions of and implementations of Shamir secret sharing are a bit intimidating. If however you just need a system where any two people with shares can reconstruct the secret then SSS can be very short and simple.

Let

a0 = the secret
p = a prime number > a0
a1 = a random integer in [1, p-1]

Assign each person who is to receive a share of the secret an ID in [1, p-1]. It is OK to simply assign IDs sequentially starting at 1.

Here is how to generate the share for the person with ID i:

Si = (a0 + i*a1) % p

Tell each person their ID and given them their share. When each person has received their ID and share you can delete a0 and a1.

To recover the secret given Si from person with ID i and Sj from person with ID j, do this in Python 3.8 or later:

a0 = ((j*Si - i*Sj) * pow(j-i, -1, p)) % p

Pow(x, -1, m) for integers x and m in Python >= 3.8 computes the modular inverse of x mod m.

If you need to generate a share for a new person or regenerate a share for an existing person get shares from two people and recover a0 as described above. Recover a1 like this:

a1 = ((Sj - Si) * pow(j-i, -1, p)) % p

You can then use a0 and a1 to issue or reissue shares as described earlier.
Sure - will do. I had to create a shortlist for the MVP, but Cantonese will definitely be coming soon.
> If one "large player" like the NYT decides to "alter the past", you can compare with the WaPo or any other newspaper. You can compare with the Internet Archive. You can compare with microfiche. These aren't "impossible to detect", they're trivial to detect if you bother to compare.

Detection doesn't really matter, because people are too lazy to validate the facts, and reporters are not interested in reporting them.

Yeah, I have no idea where they are getting their numbers. I haven't run the real-world numbers recently, but my Model Y is rated at 4.0 miles/kwh. I pay about $0.16 per kwh to home charge. That's 25 miles/dollar (USD). My back of envelope calculation says that vs an ICE car getting 37 mpg, the break-even price for gas would be $1.48/gallon.

When did you try Tiptap? In the last few weeks we have made several improvements to our documentation, but you are right! At a certain point, if you want to do really custom things, you have to put Tiptap aside and dive deep into ProseMirror. The learning curve is pretty steep, and the documentation could use some more step-by-step information. You may have to give it a second try.

We are quite happy with the free tier. We may just make some small adjustments, but I think we'll stick with it!

> My point is that if you don't think that all of these situations are equally infringing of CC-BY-NC, then you need to explain why some are commercial and some are not.

What “NonCommercial” means in the license is explictly defined in the license, and if you think either those examples, or more to the point, every possible use ever so as to render ‘NonCommercial’ into ‘no use’ as you have claimed, you need to make that argument, based on the definition in the license, not some concept of what might be construed as commercial use by general legal principles if the license used the term without its own explicit definition.
The idea of intellectual property being property that someone owns is a purely social construct though.
