No need for a manager. Use a simple formula based on the company or service name. That way you can remember one base password and slightly modify it for any service. No need to copy and paste, no need to trust other companies with all of your passwords. No need for any software.

I haven’t thought about passwords in at least 5 years since I started using Apple + iCloud. Apple has native password management baked into everything. My face or thumb logs me in, whether I’m using laptop or phone. When creating accounts I just use the auto-fill and generated password.
2FA is not the main target here, it’s SMS one time password flows. Where you never go through a traditional account setup, you just enter your phone number, it sends you a text with a one time password (generally embedded in a URL you can click), and you’re logged in.

With 2FA, you at least have to log into successfully without the cell phone first, it’s harder to exploit. You can pretty easily rate limit 2FA prompts per account, auto-ban malicious accounts, etc. While SMS OTP flows are extremely easy to exploit - the text is sent before any sort of association with and account occurs, making rate limiting, banning, etc. much more difficult.
If I consider buying a car the second thing I’d look is its weight (after the consumption). I don’t don’t care having a powerful car but using that power to move a fatty steel block is silly.
Different people have different problems. I used Apple keyboards for years and developed wrist pains. Switched to split keyboards and things got much better since then.

There are also many mechanical switches with little travel and low force (eg. Choc v1, Kailh Super Speed).
Watch This Giant Teddy Bear “Drive” a Tesla (Into Child Mannequins)

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are only safe while operated by an attentive driver. Unfortunately, research shows that ADAS can not be used without inducing driver complacency.

To combat this, driver monitoring systems (DMS) are used to detect inattention and loudly return control back to the user to prevent unsafe operation.

The tests show that in the presence of constant wheel torque used to simulate hands on the wheel (via a weight attached to the wheel), Tesla’s facial DMS is unable to determine that a giant teddy bear is not an attentive driver.

In the other video linked, it similarly shows that it can not detect an individual texting while wearing sunglasses amongst other similarly common scenarios.

The inability to handle the case of “hands on wheel, teddy bear” which is a softball test compared to “hands on wheel, inattentive driver” proves a gross systemic deficiency in Tesla’s approach to safety-critical system design.

The inability to handle or even consider trivial cases, common cases such as sunglasses, and their policy of default-allow for unsafe practices are a staggering example of safety engineering incompetence and malfeasance.
If you have time, I would love to hear that complicated story.

I remember once hearing that the rate of those forces' decay indicates (but does not prove) that they decay in more than three dimensions. This was an accomplished chemist talking, so I'm sure that she was being concise but factual.
We’re already heading towards a peak mid-century and then a slow decline of global populations based on existing trends.
I don’t know. My province in Canada is experiencing anomalous weather events year after year, and while things still look “okay” we seem to be encroaching on visible threshold events quite rapidly.

Sure, these events could mysteriously stop. Or stay very much the same, acting like a new normal that isn’t so destructive as to be an emergency. But the trend line is there. Fires increasing, biodiversity decreasing, floods occurring more dramatically and frequently, 100 year events predicted to be 10 year events not in decades but right now.

If that’s not an emergency, what is? If you’re thinking something like “when the province is stricken with drought for 10 years and everyone’s starving”, I hate to tell you but that’s well past the emergency date. At that point, you’re already done and the initial emergency happened.
Now I want to buy an HP printer, use it in wireless mode with a bogus account, and print 1000 pages a day of 4chan screen shots and posters that say "HP SUCKS."
Risk factor:

1. 0 back to the mothership and it survives ok? Then why not ARM? Just greedy. Or we need to get some resources back to the common pool somehow. Hence unless you treat it is open source movement. But then see point 3.

2. All groups have a life cycle. Unless it evolves. But x86 and ARM is racing and it does not stop. In fact what stop ARM is not payment but dominance by Q. If Apple not branch out, we still have no good watch and no very fast ARM cpu. Just like intel. X86 need someone else to push so we can have 64bit and still too hot. You need competition and so far it has. And Q move is a distraction from its major war in ARM.

3. There is a chinese factor somewhere not mentioned. It could be easily dominated later by chinese. Imagine a cpu design dominate by Soviet Union. China is not … And it cannot due to limited information flow 2 ways.
> VC money is super expensive.

it's expensive in the long term, if your company is successful. In the short term, it is cheap, because you don't pay interest on VC money, which makes your cashflow much better.

Bank loans/bonds are expensive up-front, because you are obligated to service interest. It's cheap in the long run because once your business generates revenue, you can use them to pay off the loan, and slowly wean it off, or find an even lower interest loan to refinance off.

Of course, a bank will only lend if you have collateral, while VC will "lend" if the business idea is good.
Cooling the planet doesn't make the oceans less acidic.
Americans prioritized the price over the accuracy of the product, and at this point the "vomit" flavor is what Americans prefer. Same deal with other foods full of oil like American cheese. Same thing with other artificial ingredients like gums (cream cheese, ice cream, etc.).

These foods are deeply ingrained with the culture now. It's much more complex than just having an opinion about how things are made and assuming that opinion is correct.

Just because a vocal minority complains about the quality of a product doesn't mean the majority agrees or stops buying it. People vote with their wallets.
The Glove80 is great! It's like the Kinesis Advantage, but with improved key wells and thumb clusters.
I disagree, it’s special because it’s owned collectively by the people living in the community without some for-profit middleman rent seeking inflated payments for sub-par service. This isn’t some victory for capitalism and free markets. This is the government having to step in because of the failure of the market to provide a basic 21st century service to the people at a reasonable price. The same way the market has failed to provide healthcare access at a reasonable price in the US.

I think your conclusion is also incorrect. A for profit corporation only has incentive to maximize profit for their shareholders so if they are the only provider in town they will likely jack prices up. But a municipality/town does have incentive to improve the lives of their constituents and even if you don’t believe that argument, there is always the argument that a fast reliable internet at a reasonable price could spur economic investment in the community. So a single municipal owned internet provider could be a decent option without competition but that’s unlikely to be the case for a for profit business.
Correct. As per my edit in my other response in this thread, we would still be at 10+ billion in 2100. It isn’t like “oh, hey, don’t worry, it’s going down guys!” We should absolutely worry.
Reflectors act as solar sails and hence need a fuel supply to stay put.

I'd like to suggest that some people may find wordpress + buddypress + wisechat as a self hosted replacement.

Matrix and some of the connector apps like element / fuzzychat? are nice for self hosted replacement as well.

Yes wordpress has needed securing , which is much easier today than it was 5 years ago.. buddypress can get run over with spam signups, but there are plugins and methods for that.. many ways to handle backups easy and the theming is adaptable, but out of the box familiar enough for most users they can do chats, groups, profiles, etc without ever asking how/where things are.

self hostable, and easy for some, but not as easy to deploy and maintain as clicking a link to join a discord.
In the console ecosystem, you pay more for games, subscriptions, fees and such, depending on your habits.

And you don't get a fully functioning work PC out of it... Which is stupid, as both consoles would be great PCs, especially the XSX with bigger RAM ICs. They are kind of like high power Mac M1s.
it seems like voyager 2 gets to say goodbye on its own terms
OTOH, "falls short" is comically absurd after ONE WEEK ! Imagine Nature saying the same thing about a cancer drug ?

The mainstream press is absolutely guilty of clickbaiting this one - instead of lazy "falls short" sorts of headlines, I expect them to talk about the "race to replicate" with infographics showing all the efforts, breaking down what partial-replication means, applications for LK99 depending on what properties its provien to have, and so on.

(i.e. there's plenty of great news to mine here)
DRY = Don’t Repeat Yourself.
The solution is well understood: universal education and readily available birth control. It's already working in the more developed economies.
The advantage of docker based developer workflows is that it makes things repeatable. If you’ve ever tried to support a team installing their own dependencies you’ll understand the pain!

If everyone is working in docker in VS Code it’s not a huge jump to have them develop in remote VMs. Now your devs can get setup instantaneously and can use thin and light MacBook Airs instead of heavy MacBook Pros.
OpenVINO is super easy in PyTorch and a few other places.

And there are other specific efforts like Embree (which now supports Intel GPU rendering), and Vukan ML efforts like Apache TVM and MLIR-based projects.
Sadly printing out 2D layouts doesn't work for contoured keyboards. Switching to the contoured Kinesis Advantage was the largest improvement for me (much better than the Kyria, Ferris Sweep, Moonlander, or Keyboardio Model 100). I would've never tried the Advantage if I had used a flat keyboard comparison tool.

(Now using a Glove80, which provides benefits over the Advantage2 and doesn't have the issues of the Advantage360 Pro.)
>I don't think Texas had it that bad humidity-wise in the recent heat waves, did they?

They were in Harris County so that is a coastal county where temperatures during the summer are oppressively hot due to high humidity. Back in June when these people passed, the humidity and unseasonably high heat combined to make it very dangerous for people with health problems to be outside during the daytime. Even healthy people were urged to stay indoors due to the high heat index. It gets nasty on the Gulf Coast and Baytown, where they lived, is a refinery town so the air quality is bad anyway.
The probe would have reoriented itself towards the Earth in October, it does so twice a year.

It seems that they just used a different, more powerful transmitter than usual.
The enthusiasm with geoengineering among the HN community is worrisome. Not sure which computing analogy would drive home the complete recklessness of this mentality but the Earth is not something you can reboot to the last working state once you harebrained patch implodes.

It is true that we have been slowly geoengineering for ages (initially unwittingly, recently with eyes wide open) and it is also true that our modeling abilities increase but this is quite far from making us experts in geoengineering.

For the short term future (decades) the only strategy that seems to make sense on the face of epistemic uncertainty is to refrain from aggravating the situation while studying ever more deeply the system we are now perturbing so much.

Our biggest mental deficiency when handling complexity is that we cant think holistically in practical ways. Isolating individual factors and applying linear thinking has worked wonders in isolated problems but it is not cutting it here.
I think you’re pointing out a problem which mobile has begun trying to solve - passwords are probably not the right long term solution to authentication for the majority of the population or usecases - the right solution is something more like an automatic biometric scan that doesn’t require remembering anything - just presenting yourself ie. Fingerprint scan, retina scan, faceID etc.

Devices which support these authentication method need to become ubiquitous and their APIs need to be open and widely integrated with, including by web applications and laptop/desktop applications.

There are some hard problems to solve in the way.

You either need to make a central authority that manages the scan data or you need to figure out a way to cryptographically hash the output of a biometric scan such that it can be reliably checked against a stored value in a database. Or perhaps our AI experts on HN could comment on if there is a not too computationally expensive verification method…

But it would be nice. Overtime users could remember less.
I hear you - but there are two problems with that argument.

(1) the internet is, to a first approximation, wrong about everything - so while posting "Wrong" tells us that you disagree with the GP, it doesn't tell us anything about who's actually right;

(2) shallow dismissals like "Wrong" have a degrading influence on the threads - they don't just encourage others to post more of the same, but worse. Basically, either your comments are contributing to improving the discussion culture or they're worsening it - there isn't really any level ground.

You can overcome both (1) and (2) by respectfully and substantively explaining why the other commenter is wrong. Then we all can learn something. Maybe (hopefully) even the other commenter can learn something.

If you don't want to do that or don't have time, it's better to post nothing than to just post "Wrong". That way you don't have a negative impact a la (2), and per (1), the internet is wrong about everything anyway, so you're basically just leaving things the way you found them.
Yeah, boost and pin are just as important to me. Google inexplicably doesn't show Wikipedia on the first page much of the time anymore, and I can fix that with Pins in Kagi.
Yeah if I look up Intel's GPUs in the open-source Blender benchmark for 3D performance [1], the leading Intel Arc A770 GPU is slower than ... the NVidia GeForce RTX 2070?! Which came out in 2019 [2], so Intel's latest GPUs are slower than NVidia's chips that are 2 generations and 4 years old.

Probably, but it's still an awful pinky stretch a gazillion times a day. I have escape on my thumb cluster. Easy to reach and utilizes the strong thumbs.
> I'm not sure districts are inherently bad. The concept that people living in the same geographic area will have similar concerns that need to be addressed makes sense to me.

Yes, it would make much more sense to define the districts by any of various obvious methods and then not worry about whether they have equal population.
What makes Twitter think they can just steal usernames, and get away with it?
So

The RTX 3060 was 170 Watt, the RX 7600 is 165 W. So it's on par efficiency wise as well, it would seem.
I would love to see an automated style replication from these tables by Edward Burne-Jones.

I had seem some articles about replication from limited sets; the 87 drawings in the PDF found at https://www.kelmscottchauceronline.org/colouring-book should be enough.

There is probably some model already available at https://replicate.com/

Edit: I cannot find the article I was thinking of, nor online implementations:

does anyone remember studies which spawned from the 2017 "Neural Style Transfer" cone, but were based on giving a limited set of source images to the engine to study the source style thoroughly?
I have no idea why you are trying to carry water for nazis, but quickly: there were many genocides the nazis engaged in. When you say genocide you meant to say jewish holocaust. The germans also intended to kill all slavs, among many others. The Soviets certainly cared about slav genocide, no? The Soviets were part of the allies? This shows your statement to be not just false, but completely ignorant.
> you'll need to do a lot of quality work to prevent mediocre results from a boosted site from shadowing better results from unboosted sites

That strikes me as a non-goal. As the search engine, you can't know what attributes a user is valuing when they boost, and so you can't know when it's appropriate to override that boost. "Better" is subjective, contextual, and comes in thousands of different flavors.
The X is pronounced with the SH sound.
Terraform, and by extension HCL, is more powerful and flexible. It can be used across clouds. It has providers for all kinds of things, like kubernetes. It can be abstracted and modularized. It supports cool features like workspaces and junk, depending on how you want to use it.

Also recently I was forced to use Google Cloud Deployment Manager scripts for some legacy project we were migrating to Terraform, and I was shocked at how buggy and useless it was. Failed to create resources for no discernible reason, couldn't update existing resources with dependencies, couldn't delete resources, was just unfathomably shit all around. Finished the Terraform migration earlier this morning and everything went off without a hitch, plus we got more coverage for stuff Deployment Manager doesn't support. It's also organized much nicer now, with versioned modules and what-have-you.

Cloudformation is ugly and again, surprisingly isn't well supported by AWS. I don't understand how it's possible, but terraform providers seem to be more up to date with products and APIs. Maybe that's just me but I've seen others complain about the same thing.
"We" are not doing anything of the sort. 11 years into IPv6 and you still can't single home a network behind v6. Much like DNSSEC the purists refuse to admit that it has basically been a failure outside of very specific use cases.
> which computing analogy

Ooops... bricked it :(
This 1000%. Also recently discovered Google Deployment Manager is shit for the exact same reasons. I honestly don't get it.
Uf. Get a keyboard with a thumb cluster and put Esc there. I use vi bindings everywhere and not putting Esc on a an easy to reach key would be terrible.
I love the engineering behind Voyager 2. Is there a good book or documentary that folks here on HN recommend to go deep on the various engineering pieces behind Voyager ?
Can people be identified based on the sound of their farts?
Yeah but I think natural experiments like low-sulfur marine fuel adoption can point to areas where we can find reversible interim solutions.
Not surprising, the ability to target individuals whilst hiding behind the AI algo's, makes online psychological warfare a personal thing.

Also pretty neat that there's a Terraform provider for Kubernetes native resources.
I’ve also heard the police dispatcher track from the original Grand Theft Auto in many other places, though I’m not sure if GTA was the original source or if it’s the same track you’re referring to

The phrase in the track that I notice is “5 George K”
Something similar to this was the core of the Neal Stephenson/George Jewsbury novel Interface (highly recommended read); it's absolutely wild that it's already a real thing.
Where do you get those numbers from? In terms of total energy use, perhaps. But oil accounts for about 3% for electricity generation, compared to coal's 36% [https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-balances-overview/w...]. Most oil is used for transport, so dropping that would increase electricity demand, though a lot of that doesn't need to be dispatchable, and there might be efficiencies gained moving to electric. Similarly with gas and heating (gas is used for electricity generation a lot more than oil though).

Also, the same site shows nuclear as about 10% of the electricity generation mix worldwide; unless there's about 5x as much coal being used for steel-making and other non-electricity purposes, then the numbers would be around 5x instead of 20x.
New nuclear energy, at least in the places where most of the HN readership is concentrated, has very little to contribute as an incremental solution to climate change.

Now that Vogtle 3 & 4 are complete or almost so, there is essentially no new nuclear power plants under construction in the United States.

Europe? The long-delayed Flamanville 3 and Hinkley Point C1 and C2.

Canada? Nothing.

Australia? Nothing.

There won't be any additional new nuclear plants built in any of those regions before 2040 (which is only 17 years away)

We will have to almost completely decarbonize our electricity grids by 2035-2040 if the world is going to get net zero by 2050 (which is probably not enough to avoid the need for geoengineering anyway).
I built my own keyboard firmware (https://gitlab.com/hakfoo1/ch32v-keyboard) because I wanted to use a specific controller QMK didn't support, and the actual keyboard stuff isn't that complex (like 1k lines of C atop the vendor-supplied USB libraries). But it's not that configurable. It's got the usual assortment of custom keymap and macro support, but it's all stuff where you have to edit and recompile to change it.

"Flexible" programming, like "mount the keyboard as a psuedo-flash-drive and edit the config file on it", means sacrificing a lot of resources for the config file and parser, relative to a few pre-compiled data structures. When the entire controller has 128k of flash, and the actual firmware is using already burning through 60k of that, how much do you want to spend on that? I suspect that's why things like Soarer's Controller firmware (and perhaps VIA, I haven't studied it intensely) rely on the host doing the compilation.

Also, in my mind, programmability is one of those things that is very fast diminishing returns until a project moves form "single developer passion project" to "widely used major project." Even though I can, I rarely do change the bindings and macros. From that perspective, the hassle of recompilation is far smaller than trying to invent a way to dynamically change the mapping. It might be much more important if my audience were bigger than one user-- new people will want an easy way to bootstrap from a default image to actually match their needs.
