I don't see anything bad with this hype cycle :

- these guys thought they found something
- turns out it probably wasn't superconductors but it's an still interesting finding
- there was no fraud and something new was discovered
- material science got a bit more mainstream exposure

I'd rather see that than another crypto or AI hype cycle
Yep - well know that cat bites and scratches are the worst. Most likely to get infected and take AGES to heal.
I'm lucky enough that I can buy tickets and look at the manuscript in person this afternoon, but I can't help but feel this should be open source
Consider this point:

> there's no guarantee that the message you're monitoring for won't change. Maybe someday the Linux kernel developers will decide to put more information in their MCE messages and change the format.

How often do the messages change? How often do you need to re-train the AI? Is it worthwhile?
Attestation has a minimal effect on risk because the probability of a device being compromised is high and scales with the value of compromising the device. It isn't necessary when the value is low and it isn't sufficient when the value is high. There is no place for it.
But those KPIs, the team has to reach them for the next evaluation round.
> The problem is, this all quickly adds up to a lot of money

That's also a lot on my mind. The issue here is transaction fees and taxes. People keep calling it "donations", but essentially they are income for the artists and should be taxed as such. Commercial platforms and payment providers get a way-too-big cut from donations, imho, so I think the only way to make this somehow commercially viable is if artists unite under some low-profit organisation which keeps a low part of the donations just to keep lights on and redistributes the rest to their members. Bank transfers in the EU are cheap, but recipients often don't want to publish their bank account numbers, so there's an extra "privacy" tax.
They're not making claims about companies, they're making claims about cultures (American, European, Japanese).
The Golay code and closely related Leech lattice are super cool objects. I was looking into using them for post-quantum crypto, but in my application the Golay code was outperformed by LDPC, and the Leech lattice did slightly better but maybe not enough to justify its complexity.
Agreed, JSON is just a wire protocol. What TFA complains about is lack of contract on the part of logs' producers. (Schema would be a crucial part of such contract.)
What do you do when you need some library or command-line tool? Do you prefer to git clone and manually build from source? How do you keep up to date?
Wow I never see Perl on HN; are we finally gonna see a Perl revival?
This is probably the best we can reasonably do but even this doesn't show the whole picture. I think it makes it look like most (but not all) of the safety difference is due to much less distance driven in the UK. But, given identical attitudes and driving style, I would expect accidents per km to be much higher in the UK because more time is spent on much slower urban roads in town centres (perhaps not big city centres so much) and UK suburban (which is much higher density => smaller distance than US suburban). So the spatial density of opportunity for vehicle/pedrestrian collision is much greater.

Perhaps per unit time spent driving would be closer, but still not there.

But that's all to say, I think the UK numbers are better than the USA ones by an even larger factor than they appear.
Many physical bookstores have web pages where they sell e-books as well. Find the store that serves what you want, instead of finding faults with the ones who don't and going with the huge sell-everything-store.

Technology Connections talked a lot about this and the supposed planned obsolescence of light bulbs

TL;DW: (if I rember correctly) Bulbs with shorter lifespans are generally more energy efficient. There was good reasons to not making bulb that last forever.
If professional Russian pilots could be depended on to soberly follow the rules and do what they're told, then maybe Russia wouldn't be having so many problems getting their ass kicked in Ukraine, while "accidentally" bombing so many apartment buildings full of civilians, don't you think?

A glance at Wikipedia confirms that some pathogens are aware of PD-L1 and like to mess with proteins that regulate the immune system. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the most common human virus, the herpes that 90% of people have had and a common cause of cancer, apparently has a protein that induces expression of PD-L1. Some other viruses in mice have been observed to do it.

What a mess. I love immunology.
FWIW I had bad experiences with rr shipped with Ubuntu LTS. I build rr from source, it's relatively easy to do.
If one can absolutely prioritize their “wants” (no “want” has equal rank with any other), then any choice between two of them is simple: choose the higher ranked and “sacrifice” the lower one, right?
What is the advantage of this versus just keeping people's balances in a database?
for string instruments, there are optimal ranges for string-length, tension and thickness that vary with its frequency. Which is why for example a violin has shorter strings than a cello or a contra bass. Similarly, acoustic (non-electric) bass guitars don't work so well, etc.

To my understanding in a piano, the lower strings are "too short", this includes grand pianos at a concert hall for example. There is a compromise in the construction. The Alexander Piano has an adequate length of strings, so in principle it has better sounds in the lower frequency ranges.

Infections after bites from animals is nothing new. Look up Capnocytophaga canimorsus - which is a bacterium that can transmitted after a dog bite.

Learnings: Keep in mind if you where with felins if you get ill:

„ Treatment with antibiotics is effective in most cases, but the most important yet basic diagnostic tool available to clinicians remains the knowledge of recent exposure to canines or felines.“

I use both Comlink and Dexie, for different purposes.

Comlink gives a seamless abstraction over the worker "bridge", and Dexie does the same for the complex IDB API.

I have run into performance issues with Dexie when querying lots of objects (~1M) from a collection, but it looks like it's more of a limitation on IndexedDB itself.
It's hypocritical trend. We talk about reducing emissions but produce and buy cars that are 20 times or more heavier than our bodies and ratio increasing every year.

Also we talk about lack of parking places at cities and again... We produce bigger cars.

Obviously its just a game for some.
I was recently in Istanbul and I’m always reminded of Scarry when I watch the traffic going over the Bosporus. So many ships, bridges, etc.
It turns out that it's convenient to look this up!

https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/globicatella

> Etymology: Glo.bi.ca.tel.la. L. masc. n. globus, a ball, sphere, globe; L. fem. dim. n. catella, a small chain; N.L. [neo-Latin] fem. dim. n. Globicatella, a short chain made up of spheres

catella is the diminutive form of catena, "chain", which survives in the word "concatenate".
The Pokemon Snap one brings me back to when I was a kid. They had these Pokemon Snap machines, and you used to be able to take your memory card to the local mall and use them to print out stickers from the photos you took in game. Those "bridges" between the virtual world and the real world endlessly fascinated me.

Hybrid work is totally fine, most big companies are globally distributed anyways so it can't be avoided, my team for example in in other parts of the world so what do i get by being 100% in an office where i don't know anybody and nobody cares of what i do since i'm not i their team? Let people organize as they want, we are not babies.

Agreed that graduates or super juniors must spend some time in the office with other people, but mostly to understand how to behave in the work-centric society.
Ask HN: Deal with feeling of not knowing anything well enough?
I've spent 15 years in the tech industry, working with well-known tech companies and engaging in projects that I'm proud of. My main focus has been on creating reliable, widely-used distributed systems. However, I often feel like I lack in-depth knowledge. The challenges I face seem quite similar, like working with building blocks. My approach involves learning what's necessary to solve immediate issues and then moving on. I'm unsure how to reach the expertise level of industry leaders like Brenden Gregg and Jeff Dean.

It might be like having Impostor Syndrome. But I do believe I have some knowledge and can use it effectively, but there’s also a sense that I lack deep understanding.

How can I handle this situation? What steps can I take to achieve even just a small portion of their expertise?
And (approximately) no one ever cared.
I'll never understand how cat owners are so okay with this kind of biting and scratching behaviour in general, sometimes even finding it cute; a friend of a friend nearly lost an eye because her cat randomly decided to be skittish and bolt up the couch with zero care.
But it's not just that: to black start the grid you have to shed load - that is, you need to trip all the breakers along the grid, and then very carefully restore loads to avoid knocking yourself offline again.

You just plain aren't going to do that in an hour when you're offline because someone trashed your automated systems - resetting and restoring the grid would require people on site, in communication. That's not happening in an hour without staggering expense.
ScoreCast: A Tool for Predicting Football Game Outcomes in Six Minor Leagues

Powered by a DecisionTreeClassifier model, ScoreCast provides users with insights into which team is likely to win or lose a match, aiding football enthusiasts and bettors in making informed decisions.
> Yeah, until someone creates a website that just ships the products they say they have, and people type in the URL for the site directly and shop there?

This already happens over and over, and with AI it’s only going to be worse. Company makes a decent product, gains reputation, and then strip mines their good will for quick cash while quality plummets. After a while, you just distrust the whole online shopping experience. Even if someone is selling a good product, the lemons are ruining the whole market.

Interestingly it was immediately scannable to me as links. I was an avid web user at the time (I was 15!) and I guess that stuck in my mind.
The most glaring thing about this article to me is that I didn’t find the author having mentioned that he had any significant offline relationships prior to taking a year off. I mean, he encounters various people under an array of pretenses throughout the article, but I can’t help but wonder what his issue could have been with connecting with people without the internet with these different encounters taking place within the year. In this sense, the story as an experience raises more questions than it answers because I don’t know the guy.

But at the same time, this account fits right in with more recent ones that I’ve come across about how difficult it is for people to find social networks offline, particularly for young men (I think the author was in his late 20s when this was published?).
/opt/homebrew isn't a folder provided by the operating the system, but it's still a "system folder" as in not a user folder. That's messed up. I have to imagine that this causes no end of issues on multi-user machines. The homebrew folder should either be somewhere under ~, or owned by root or some other system account.
How do you resolve a choice between poorly fulfilling a higher-ranked want and perfectly fulfilling a lower-ranked one?
You are right, but probability estimation of possibly novel phenomena is an ill posed problem.

So either you do not model it at all, or come up with some mental model of what probability you are comfortable with and due to which factors; the factors being more important than the final number.

I've been using Teams on my intel macbook for years, it works "fine". (It's a massive battery drain and CPU hog, but other than that it works)

Not sure what you're on about. I'm all for shitting on Teams, as the chat and specifically group chat functionality is horrible, especially compared to slack (that has its own issues).

But claiming it doesn't work at all is a big one.

Definitely - things like open banking should make transferring money incredibly cheap.

If this could be done, it should be done as a proper non-startup business so that there's not drive to have an exit. The goal would be to just create a sustainable business that can pay employees a decent salary and work for the creators.

Probably completely unrealistic.
It is interesting that this is giving an advantage back to smaller more curated sites and physical shops. Amazon and Co are going to get AI'd to death.
The reason I want to avoid Hue is not so much because of network security, but because of simplicity. I've seen a whole lot of packet parsing and RF stuff. I want none of that to be required for my lamp to turn on when I flip a switch.

However, it seems like dimmable leds might almost be doing packet parsing over very weird PWM-modulated AC signals in order for the dimmer and LED to cooperate. I like the simplicity of using the power-line from switch to LED, but I hate the ad-hoc nature of the accidental communication, so perhaps it makes sense to upgrade to ZigBee, accepting the complication of RF and network addressing in return for having well specified protocols.
I've heard a hypothesis that cancer behavior is not primarily evolved in the patient, but instead it is an ancient mechanism from the time of transition from single cell to multi cell organism.

A human cell can never survive on its own. But there might have been a time when cells could have benefited from "pulling the escape hatch" and taking their chances instead of continuing cooperation within a damaged early multicellular organism.

They attacker injected their own control server communication into the dll that is used by solarflare to actually report back to the main system. sooo their own control server.

and if you tell me that this would have gotten by a regular pull request review on any project that uses a protected main branch, I am laughing.

Log4Shell would most likely not have been possible if the project receives actual funding. I know its a krass idea to spend money on things that are free but you know someone needs to be paid to review things.
I am of the opinion that if the government uses these things, they could spend the same amount of money on open source.
Do you even realize how much money that ends up being?

>So now you moved to every company and government should write their own software?

no but when my government pais for its development, they should use open source projects.

So yeah my original point still stands. If they would have used an open solution to this, which does not require a centralised control server itself, this would not have happened. Its literally what people like me get paid for to review and if you tell me that a pull request with encoded code without reason or feature ticket would have been approved and implemented, i strongly disagree.
This would have been found by any tool using static code analysis for security simply because its encoded. At least flagged.

> self hosted

self hosted does not mean you install it. otherwise slack is self hosted. or that facebook is self hosted just because i install the app on my phone.

Finally i leave you with the definition of self hosted from wikipedia:

>> Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control.

There was no reason for the firewall to even allow this in the first place unless they were using a service outside of their control.
The majority of new .net apps are linux in my experience. Because they all run in containers. Containers are best supported in linux.

It's not all bad, SEO help can be useful if your business lacks basic measurement, pages, titles, conversions etc. Or you have those things, but in a mess. "SEO" can branch into general site maintenace aspects I guess.

Too much SEO help can be unhelpful, as the article mentions, messing up your site with repetitive patterns cut from the same mold as millions of other sites.

In some ways SEO companies are like ChatGPT. Neither cares about the specific content, yet both pretend to be experts. Both apply a formula of sorts to generate output from a weird top-down angle. The resulting SEO copy has the tone of "pretending to give a shit. Shop Today!"

This idea is in direct cobtradiction to the claims that the Phoebus Cartel gathered to lower the lifespan of light bulbs due to declining sales in a market saturated with long-lasting bulbs. This is cited by some as the birth of Planned Obsolescence.

I personally have not be clear on which side of this argument holds more accuracy, but given today's anti-consumer leanings in manufactiring (particulatly in the US), I have my misgivings about it all.

I’m not sure if this is related, but I’ve been considering going back to regular milk as the price of oat milk continues to slowly increase. It’s gone from £1.50 to as high as £2.80 around my area.

That is what is called a synekdoche, where a part refers to the whole or the whole refers to it's part. A good word to know as a quick reply when someone starts trying to debate the meaning of word.
Is there evidence for a real correlation beyond the obvious spurious one: Newer bulbs are more efficient and at the same time have a shorter lifespan due to planned obsolescence.
What do you mean? They will pay the fine or the NO courts will extract them; Meta has legal entities with bank presence to charge for ads and (I assume) pay employees in NO.
> Sometimes you can even extract metrics from logs by looking for specific log lines

This looks backwards from the app dev's perspective.

- Metrics are strictly structured, documented data. They are a first-class output.

- "Strictly structured logs" is contradiction in terms. These are just events to be sent to a pub/sub, also a first-class output.

- Logs are unstructured, unknown, bleeding-edge, grey-area data, which can potentially become either metrics, or events, or bug tickets.

If I output data as metrics, I don't output it again as logs - that'd be just noise.

But of course other apps/systems can have a wholly different approach and force people to invest a lot into sorting out that dumpster fire. The leverage is on the producer side.
