I hope each of these facial recognition matches is reviewed by someone of the same race / skin color as the alleged perp. Often times to someone of a different race it can be hard to see differences that are obvious to those of the same race. I have heard both black and white people say "They all look the same to me" regarding people of the other race. I am sure the same applies to Asians.

Is this a serious response? I have no attachment to any company Musk owns. I own/use not a single product they have made. Maybe, just maybe, it's you who is irrational here. Disliking a person you will never interact with because he has done a few things you disagree with.

The guy has a double degree in physics and economics. The guy whose companies single handedly upended the car industry. The guy whose companies build the first viable reuseable rockets. Musk is definitely a weirdo. But denying his intelligence is wildly stupid.
On the other hand, tls/443 is pretty undesirable for media delivery in videoconferencing because a) it's tcp-based and the required ACKs mean a big reduction in throughput and increase in latency, especially in the presence of packet loss, and b) most video services these days (and open source servers) use webrtc which encrypts the data in transit already--so the tls encryption is a waste of resources

Though tls/443 is usually still supported because it's most often allowed by even restrictive firewalls and networks

Ever been to the Epic campus? It's literally like Disneyland - they have a whole section that is entirely made up like Alice in Wonderland: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/20/business/epic-systems-cam...

They also wanted to build tunnels into the facility that were too low for the local fire department's trucks to get through, so they just... bought them all new trucks that were shorter.

Having read plenty of version control system logs from around the turn of the millennium (i.e. when things were _far_ less crazy than 1987), I'd wager most of it would come in the form of commits marked “implemented EGA driver, faster AI in Reversi, improve FPU exception code”, aka “I'm done for today, committing”.
Let's get this straight. The person blessed with what is basically a panhandling superpower -- an attractive female body -- somehow says her marks, the ones paying $80, have an entitled attitude toward sexual attention. Pause and think about that. Do you think these guys had a Plan B to buy them an English degree?

These places conduct zero-sum economic activity. One person loses money, one person gains money, and nothing of value is created. Draw a control volume around an economic activity to understand it. China: Opium in, silver out. Congo: Guns in, rubber out. This place: Money in, nothing out.

A hallmark of exploiters is that they have contempt for their marks. Well, I sense more than a little contempt here. Don't trust this person around children or small animals.

Of course she justifies herself eloquently; did you not just see what she spent the money on? An English degree.

Moreover, she admits that she understands what she was doing:

> my livelihood somehow still depended on men employing bad judgement.

So don't get distracted. Draw a control volume. And stay away from these places, and these people.

Most people here commenting, even those praising this writing, who will surely rush to defend her, must at some level clearly understand this. Like -- do you frequent prostitutes? ... Didn't think so. So you know I'm right.

> Canada is concerned its culture is at risk from globalisation, and those concerns are not without merit.

I don't think that preserving Canadian culture is a factor in any of this, nor does it seem to be a concern of the current government.

These same politicians have been bringing in an absolutely staggering number of foreigners each year for many years now, with most of them from cultures that are extremely dissimilar from, if not outright incompatible with, what was Canadian culture.
That's only for very broad things; as long as there's no red flags, short term takes priority.
Spot on.

The amount of cognitive dissonance with regard to environmental concern continues to amaze me.

Many people seem to have strong concerns about their environmental impact but few acknowledge just how damaging (relative to others) certain activities are.

The obvious example is driving. People know it is bad but few seem to be aware of just how much co2 is produced per litre of petrol used (about 234g - so about 1kg every 5km traveled). Let that sink in. At an average of 20,000km per year that is about 4,000kg. Per capita co2 emissions in the US is 14,000kg.

Sorting your recycling is so much easier than acknowledging that.
Believing that absolutely everything in the US, including medicine and food, is negatively impacted by the drive for more profit, does not make you a conspiracy nut; it is the defining characteristic of the US economy.

All it takes is an email between Apple and Google saying they want to keep prices high for conspiracy. Isn't above them, either. Certainly inline with past of apple. Seems more a complaint against them, I grant.

The discovery is what could kill Google, here. They will argue customers could switch, but any negotiations with apple to stay default are discoverable. If any of them note they fear losing share, that is pretty damning.

Important to point out they are talking about harm to self + harm to others. What's not clear is if they are looking at it from a society perspective or from the individual.

From a society perspective any drug with high prevalence of use should top the chart, because of the scale of harm.

In the case of cocaine I would argue that it can't be separated from alcohol. I don't know any cocaine user that doesn't consume it with alcohol, and most do it for the sole purpose of drinking more alcohol. There's a feedback loop where users get very drunk, take a line to feel better and energized, then drink a shit ton again, only to top it off with cocaine, rinse & repeat.

Programmers are often overconfident and think they can implement anything... except when they have to follow common sense regulation in which case it's always impossible or they come up with ridiculous straw men like you just have.

There are a million ways to curtail anti-competitive behavior. One, on the spot, example would be: not to stop people from making searches, but instead to tax at 100% everything over the 30% of searches.
A news media producing "clickbait and ragebait" articles should not be covered by the law because it requires to follow a code of ethics (article 27 [1] ) unless it is a Indigenous news organization. I think the articles you mention definitely are not compatible with "code of ethics whose standards of professional conduct require adherence to the recognized processes and principles of the journalism profession, including fairness, independence and rigour in reporting news and handling sources" so please rest assured that they can be shared free of charge. Sadly, clickbait articles from Indigenous news organization might disappear.

LOL this is absolute gold.

You are so out of your element and just absolutely lost. I'm obviously not a HG employee. You challenged my comment? You weren't even part of the conversation. Your challenge was not understanding a modicum of politeness when someone is referring to an old business they worked for and might not want to be associated with so they give vague references that make it blatantly clear they don't want bring it up? This is easy in your stead because you have literally worked for no one that anyone cares about or has any interest in whatsoever.

If you were on hn throwing some spicy tea out for people to read, if you had EVER worked for anywhere that actually MADE spicy tea- you'd get my drift.

"This is a weird response, it's not like it's not public information, there's nothing "impolite" about it."

This is literally one of the most ignorant responses I've ever, ever seen on HN. Nothing I said was public information. and I clearly didn't want to expound. Take the fucking hint.

Anyway, take it easy bud.

Agree! I've also noticed that the # of restaurants vs. price distribution for eating out in SF falls off a cliff especially <$25 per person range, whereas there are many more options in NYC and LA. In other words, prepare to pay up, stand in line for hours or be on a reservation waitlist for the most part if you want "good" food in SF.

“These types of discussions on this site are pointless.” So you’re a troll then. Don’t start shit if you don’t want to engage. If you really think it’s pointless don’t bring it up.

As you say, many people disagree with you. It is very possible they have more of an argument than then just being idiots or shills or whatever disparaging label you want to give them. The question you are responding to is a legit one. People will continue to ask for justification whenever you proclaim Apple a monopolist. The fact they haven’t been convinced by the thousands of comments means your position isn’t as self evident as you think.
Difficult but absolutely not impossible. There's whole domains of law dedicated to identifying and defining these kinds of fuzzy edge cases. Anyone that tells you it is impossible has malign motivations.
It really depends on what you're looking for. Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Chicago all come to mind as cities with a strong food culture. I'd add Portland and Seattle too with the caveat that you've gotta be a bit more picky.
PRC generates STEM talent, most but not all stays in the PRC. Meanwhile, people come from all over the world to do STEM in the USA. So ya, Tsinghua and PKU are still, in 2023, are providers of STEM talent in America. And even if China decided to close off emigration tomorrow, we still have India and Europe, it isn't going to make it win as much, especially with the its own demographic bomb ticking (they will need to import talent as well in the next 50 years).

Before China's hardcore response the pandemic scared a bunch of people into emigrating, you might have had a point. We will see now that China is opening up again if it goes back to the trend it had in 2019 or not.

The IETF also hijacked the OID 1.3.6.1

ISO and the ITU agreed a system of OIDs (Object Identifiers). Such identifiers are needed in various systems which want some way to uniquely identify arbitrary things in a hierarchy, such as the fields in the X.509 certificates for your HTTPS servers, nodes in your SNMP system, and DICOM medical image data.

To mint new OIDs you need a parent OID from which you can just branch off children. So for example if you owned 5.6.7.8 then you're entitled to make 5.6.7.8.9 but also 5.6.7.8.1, 5.6.7.8.2, 5.6.7.8.4261 and so on, and they in turn can have children of their own, maybe 5.6.7.8.4261.8302048.1.384823.5 ends up existing. But how can you get such an arc in the first place? ISO and ITU issued themselves initial numbers 0, 1 and 2 and they in turn issued some prominent international entities their own arcs, to e.g. the US Department of Defence.

The IETF understandably wanted to issue OIDs, but in the early days it wasn't obvious who should issue an arc to them. So, some authors wrote an RFC which just "presumes" the US Department of Defence (owners of the 1.3.6 arc) will issue 1.3.6.1 to the IETF. No such formal issuance occurred, but too late, there's an IETF RFC which says the DoD is going to give the IETF the 1.3.6.1 arc so everybody writing RFCs which need OIDs just uses ones from the 1.3.6.1 hierarchy. A successful namespace hijacking is about numbers. If most people who have an opinion think you own 1.3.6.1 then you do, if not, you don't.

Even if today the US DoD actually said "No, we decided you can't have it" that wouldn't be effective, way more people care what the IETF thinks about this.
Agreed, and I think your points will be missed amongst the cacophony of praise for the admittedly-entertaining article. Reminds you that you can dress anything up and people will accept it if it's eloquent and entertaining enough.
It’s not “blown up”. It’s not about the sheer number, it’s about growth. Violent crimes targeting Asians are up 186%

I suggest that you read the news more often before going with just your gut to support a specific narrative.
The wonderful thing about the western world is that most countries value freedom of the press. The dark side of this is that you can spin up your own “scientific journal” and charge people to publish in it, game the rankings like any common SEO scam, and nobody will stop you because (especially here in the US) you’re exercising your first amendment rights. Then people can fill it with nonsense and even script-generated fake papers. People outside the scientific community can also scam more “legitimate” for-profit journals in various ways, resulting in more silly publications that the actual scientific community has to filter out. It’s very annoying.

None of this has any more bearing on fraud by professional scientists than, say, the existence of some garbage-filled Wikimedia server or a badly-edited Wikipedia page means that the Wikipedia editors themselves are fraudsters.
Some races really do look more similar to each other than others. In America there is a high degree of mixed genes, that you don’t find in a more homogenous genetic pool such as Japan or places in Africa.

But this is true for every thing in the planet. Data modelling, computer programming, building, everything. Name something that the unusual is not more complicated and difficult to do.

I think the problem is people think health is magical and everything is known. Because they choose not to educate themselves.

register machines need to run about half as many instructions on average to do the same thing, which means that at the same clock speed a 1-cycle-per-clock cpu will go about twice as fast with a register instruction set. countering that is that the stack machine doesn't need multiplexers on the inputs to the alu, so it may actually be able to run at a higher clock speed if those multiplexers were part of the critical path, and the stack machine will occupy less silicon area, so you may be able to have more of them (but usually ram takes a lot more area than your cpu)

for out-of-order and superscalar processing, register machines have an advantage in that you can more easily have successive instructions that don't interfere, simply by not using the same registers. generally in a stack machine instruction it's hard to avoid using the result of the previous instruction; you need an extra instruction to do it (`over` or `swap` or something)

but i suspect it's partly just path-dependence: koopman's new wave of stack machines were already struggling upwind against 30 years of ibm 360, intel 8080, dec pdp-11, motorola 68000, dg nova, sun/fujitsu sparc, etc., all register machines, and so a rich store of knowledge had built up about them in compiler backends, assembly programmers, and cpu designers. maybe if chuck had designed the rtx2010 in 01973 instead of 01988 the story would have been different

maybe worth noting that all of the jvm, microsoft's clone of it (the cil), and wasm (as sph pointed out) are stack-based, and arm for a while had a 'jazelle' instruction set which interpreted many jvm bytecodes directly (trapping to software for more complex ones), so in a sense stack-based programs are more widespread now than they ever were before; that's what you see inside a .class file. they just are usually translated into some other instruction set before execution

If the training set is biased, the AI becomes biased. GIGO.
If they are, in fact, implying that another lab should produce a matching data-set to try to replicate results, well, I'm sorry, but that won't work, at least in a whole lot of fields. Data collection can be very expensive, and take a lot of time. It certainly is in my field.

If on, the other hand, they just want the raw data, and let others go to town on it in their own way, that's fine, probably. Results that don't depend on very particular details of the processing pipeline are probably more robust anyway.
> The only true meaning of white in the US is "not black",

That doesn't even follow from your own previous sentence - it would have to mean "not black or latino".

IMHO, I agree with you, most businesses would probably be happy with SQLite;
SQLite in WAL mode is really fast, the file size limit is basically in Terabytes and if you reach a bottleneck you probably reach a point where you can invest in more.

SQLite is quite powerful and as you said, really simple. Also, the documentation is easy to follow.
As a white person who grew up as a minority in my neighborhood, I have trouble distinguishing between white people with the same haircut, a problem I never seem to have with people of color. I don't think the race of a person is what matters, so much as the environment their brains were trained on.
> My analysis is it's a money milking scheme between groups of doctors. Pass you around so everyone gets a cut and they cross refer people to scratch each other's backs.

This is accurate. Years ago I had a kidney stone and the GP asked for an IVU (Intravenous urography) image to make sure about the size. The report prepared by the radiologist had the statement "operation is required".

When I got back to my GP just laughed sarcastically and told me that it was nothing to be worried of. He also said "the radiologist just wanted to return the favor, in case the GP wanted to operate". He was sick of this scheme too, but there was nothing he could do.
When I was saving for the down payment of my condo, one of the biggest changes I made was making my own lunch, rather than eating out every day.

There are going to be regional differences of course, but here in SF, a modest lunch costs at least $20. My average was around $25, or about $6500/year.

I adopted "meal prep Sundays" where I make all of my lunches for the week ahead, and the average cost is consistently around $5, making my annual weekday lunch cost about $1300. +$5200/year post tax to be used on other things.

Applying the same general idea to dinner unlocks further savings.

The funny thing is - I don't know that I'm even sacrificing time with this approach either. It takes me maybe 1.5 hours on Sunday for the lunch prep thing, but I'm saving a bunch of time by not physically going to restaurants, ordering, taking deliveries, etc. The variety is lacking with this approach, but the tradeoff is well worth it in my book.
My Master's thesis was basically taking a purely theoretical paper and "replicating" it, by which I mean taking the formulae and just writing the software to run them. It sounds trivial to an outsider but even that was I guess 300 hours of work.

In general I think undergraduate projects are a great space to attempt to replicate findings, but it heavily depends on the field. Fundamental physics experiments can be expensive and require equipment that's outside the reach of undergrads. But one thing I love about engineering as an academic field, by comparison, is that anything you research tends to be more achievable for others to replicate because as your end goal you are aiming for something that's practical in the field.
