So the question now is, if it were calling `crypto.getRandomValues()` instead, would it sound different?

EDIT:

This is not a 100% joke question. I'd expect both versions to sound the same, but at the same time, there's a threshold on the RNG spectrum between "getRandomNumber() { return 4; }" and some truly random quantum source, where if you feed the RNG to audio output, people will be able to distinguish between "bad RNGs" (left of threshold), and "good RNGs" (right of threshold). I wonder where that threshold falls.
Where I currently live, tin roofs are the norm. And yes, it can be extremely loud in the rainy reason. My wife & I quite like it actually, like a white noise generator. Also, I can easily get out of phone/video calls I don’t want to be on.
Rent control is dumb policy anyways.

Now how can we get rid of nimby rule? Local governments have way too much influence on development, for better or worse.

Perhaps sufficiently large development proposals must be entertained by the entire city or town rather than being unilaterally decided by a board - that seems like a sufficient compromise (at the expense of speed, but development is slow anyway given the appeals).

Of course that’s not a perfect solution either since there are towns in which home ownership rate is almost 100% and thus they would be most incentivized to not allow any development even if they all voted at the expense of the neighbors shouldering the development burden.
It's not either or. A config file checked into git and applied by a CI/CD pipeline is infrastructure as code.
Windows in planes can be replaced by LCD screens. I don't think they are necessary at all. In fact, they already sell cruise ship cabins with this feature. I've yet to hear anyone talk about this as a showstopper problem.

I am completely shocked that this discussion does more or less not include the issue of noise.
I was diagnosed with 100 AHI last year and from day one it was impossible for me to sleep with the noise the mask makes....
The first night in sleep centre with CPAP was hell for me. I couldn't fall asleep even though it was 4 a.m. and I had only slept 4 hours the day before.

At home I can only fall asleep with hearing protection, because of which my ears are permanently inflamed.

The doctor, referring to the high AHI, did not even consider trying other forms of therapy.
> You can sleep with hearing protection, right? Then everything is good.

To me, CPAP doesn't feel like a solution. Rather, it is a bad temporary solution with which a lot of money can be made through rental fees.
No, I don’t think it’s blackmail in this particular situation. Though that definitely does exist here in other spots. This is just an old guy who tries to quell the riff-raff of the youth of the neighborhood. He’s really sweet actually. And if you bring him a cold beer, he’ll do a quick cleaning of your windows to boot!
The fact that we have to call it "their firmware and secure enclaves" is a bit telling, though. The majority of consumer-facing devices today have a layer of inscrutability that we leave up to the manufacturer to implement properly. For instance, Microsoft has Bitlocker, but I couldn't confidently say that isn't backdoored either.

Apple has whitepapers, but they're about as verifiable as LK-99 in-practice. Their security model entirely revolves around the Apple-issued root of trust, and if you can't trust them then you have to hit the bricks. If you don't own both ends, the end-to-end encryption shtick is a theatrical farce.

There also exists a working direct download link which I can’t post because the Danish Rights Alliance is following me around DMCA’ing anything to that effect. They already struck my Twitter once.

But, BitTorrent is probably the only way a dataset like this can survive now. It’s a damn shame since OpenAI are the ones making money, and researchers are simply trying to replicate their scientific efforts.

By the way, you can use aria2c to download just the books3 part of that torrent. Use aria2c —-select-file=44 and pass the torrent url. Takes about 30 minutes. Plus most people probably don’t have 800GB free.

You still have to fill it up by touching and breathing in the fumes while pumping it into the tank, so not exactly, but you're right that it does affect others as well.
Cellebrite has many offerings. The lower-level ones do data backup for stores like yours. The advanced ones break into modern iPhones.
To keep this short: I think a balance between what we do and what stop the spray wants to do is ok.

Trees that excel on wet ground will be better fire breaks because their fuel is higher in the tree and the ground is wet. Yeah that helps as a fire break but it is not some super power. In my area you will naturally get small clumps of large aspens and then a lot of small aspen bushes. Those smaller trees/bushes burn up like anything else and they help guide the fires to their more resistant big brothers.

The fires happening around my city blew through a place I know well, it has a lot of aspen and swamps. The fire destroyed it all, maybe the aspen helped but not in a meaningful way. When the smoke clears maybe the picture will be different.

It is not realistic to assume that if we let aspen do what it wishes that it will make fire breaks that are of real value. Aspen is like a weed and if you cut all the trees down in an area the aspen bushes start to take over. That being said, a diverse forest is always going to be a better forest.

It's mostly navy run right now is my understanding, and used by journalists, so I don't see how it's that much of a downgrade.

This is quite frankly a farce of a PR stunt. “Oops we hacked the UFED we stole” is not going to fly in any reasonable court. There are proper ways to get evidence thrown out and trying to use the most petty way possible since it sells well is not it.
They're talking about bird noises, the article said, among other things.

That's called ambient noise.

That's not white noise.
This is a fair point.

I've seen many frameworks shared in hackernews. But rarely do I see
anyone commenting on their IDE's capability to be able to use that framework for go-lang, rust, c, c++, etc.

For example, Rust tokio 1.0:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25520353

I don't see anyone mentioning an IDE there.
No it hasn't been known, because to be known, a mature technology must be exist.

And your presumptive statement presumes that nothing changes. What is difficult today, is simple tomorrow.

Just like aluminum, which used to be more expensive than gold.
> If you track enough sharks for long enough eventually you’ll find a pair that seems to exhibit synchronous movement patterns…?

Not necessarily unless the behavior is yet present in its biology. The research suggests that they are more complex animals than the simple image shown in the films and this is a valid point. The animals are traveling together on purpose apparently.

We could track enough humans for a long long time and still we wouldn't watch humans melting into one big sporangium, or growing feathered wings.

I'm not talking about the display of RSS. I'm talking about the little icon that shows when a URL has a feed set in it's HTML head section. Rather than having to go in and look at the source by manually.
No it didn’t. It only allowed it in case of a good-faith mistake, which is very different from intentionally using a Cellebrite to capture evidence illegally.

Recent decades suggest that, with a bit of strategy, backlash from curtailing economic protections for working people can easily be minimized to spiraling debt, homelessness, addiction, and suicide, in that order. No biggie.

I know some parts of Montana where that would be...inadvisable.
I'm saying your comments basically boiled down to that. You are unhappy that developers might prefer a tool that doesn't officially support newer features of a language, even though it doesn't really prevent them developing with the new features using the same or different IDE or a text editor or whatever. Same deal with C# or C++ and every other language supported by IDE's, hence C.S.B. This is an issue with programming in general, not Java specific.
They have an app for ios.
I am not sure of which fires you are speaking of specifically, but the fires around my city were taken seriously right away. The ground type, location, wind and night are what escalated things.

On another note, fire is a natural part of a forests life. If we rush to put out everything which is not near cities or buildings, we are just pushing things back until the next fire in the area is even worse. It is better for the forest to burn a bit.
Accessibility is the last line of defense in fight for general ergonomics, because it sets legal limits on how shitty and user-abusive the UI/UX can get.
> that the owner saturated everything with water prior to evacuating.

Used to live in rural Colorado and have had our house threatened by wildfires multiple times. We did the same thing and set up large volume pivot sprinklers that formed both a perimeter and kept the roof+deck wet when the fires got within a mile of us. Glad to hear it worked for this person. Wildfires are scary.
This is very similar to the layering approach I ended up with for a service I built a couple of years ago (AWS using Pulumi).

Global - Things from the AWS global region, notably DNS (DelegationSet and Zone) and IAM

Core - Semi-permanent per-stack resources such as secrets and certificates

Network - Network resources per-stack (ie. VPC & EC2)

Database - Database resources per-stack (i.e. RDS) and rotating secrets (via Lambda)

Application - Application resources per-stack (i.e. ECS)

Breakglass - Resources for breakglass shell access to the DMZ subnets
That’s an astonishingly loud machine - I can barely hear mine. I sometimes lay and try to listen to it, but quickly I find the sound of my breathing makes up the majority of noise in the room.
Was this a random tragedy, or something we should expect to see more of in areas that aren't historically prone to wildfire? Are we going to have to cut down our trees and gardens in New England to protect against fire?
Ok, not a linguist, and probably couldn't hang with a bright undergrad in the subject, but I'm going to make a HN-inventing-things-from-first-principles conjecture: could there be a class of early scripts that are more a mnemonic device than a true writing system as we would undertand it today? I.e. without already knowing an enormous amount of context, no one could understand them? Is there a term for such a thing?
Let's say you're charged.

They seize your phone and pull photographs, text messages, messenger logs, maps data, etc. The messages are inculpatory.

What do you want to say? That the extraction method is unreliable, that the Police have incorrect logs? Imply that the text messages have been extracted with errors, somehow?

That simply isn't the case. The data extracted is both reliable and probative. This is a copy and paste.
Some, if not all did it.
Plus I doubt townhouses, inns, homes, whatever they were called back then, had air-tight windows to block out the sound in the cities. A friend of mine lived in a new-ish apartment in NYC upper-west side and it was 100% silent with the windows closed. Way quieter than my house in a suburb on a main street.

>“We’re suppose to take some ‘hacking company’’s word for it that they’re doing everything forensically correctly, and the prosecution expects us to just trust them?”

You'd be surprised. The courts are not scientific debate arenas. Burn forensics? Pseudoscience. Bite mark forensics? Pseudoscience. Lots of DNA-based forensics? Totally unreliable. Firearms ballistics forensics? Laughable pseudoscience. Polygraph tests? Laughable pseudoscience. Field sobriety tests / "drug recognition expert" certifications? Lol, lmao even.

All of this nonsense has been successfully used to convict people in court. Turns out, putting someone with PhD after their name or a white lab coat or a phony certification on the stand tends to work for prosecutors.
It doesn't. When has it in the past 50 years? (There were some violations during the 60s and earlier). You might find a counter example with some CIA involvement or something.

Like you cannot walk into a bank with a gun yelling 5th amendment and not go to jail. It's not blanket. It protects you from statements of self incrimination.

dunno about the evidence, but I kinda figured post-combustion lead is more atmospheric than pre-combustion lead. Elemental lead doesn't really absorb through the skin (and gas doesn't evaporate too well at low temperatures) as far as I know.

Hallucinogenics brought me to my current career. Synthesizing DMT got me my first full-time grant writing gig. I believe more hackers experiment with drugs than the nerd stereotype would lead you to believe.

QuiteRSS. It's very self hosted in the sense that it's a normal native Qt GUI application for running on Windows, most Linux distros, MacOS, FreeBSD, and OS/2. No need for fragile complicated stuff like a webserver, dynamic language execution, database server, or extra programs required to use it (ie, browsers). It uses sqlite internally and sqlite tools work with it if you want an SQL interface. It handles my 1000+ feeds pretty well.

It has no consideration for mobile support or concepts like synchronizing.

These are BGP blocks, right? If Cloudflare's ISP doesn't have a route to the system in question, then it can't proxy the site anymore.

Maybe Cloudflare has an Ethernet cable between the server in question and itself, but that seems unlikely to me. There is probably some ISP in the middle that will play ball, right?
Thanks for your perspective. I appreciate it.

That disaster is the legal basis (in common law) for natural persons to sue corporate persons, and for governments to hold corporations accountable to laws separately from every individual member of the corporation, making it much easier to prosecute them.
> I feel like the science behind West Coast weather phenomena is dubious, if only because the West Coast US has basically no historical record.

There’s not a separate science of “West Coast weather phenomena”.

> There probably were a number of extreme weather events that hit CA before the 19th century.

Doubtless. No one would be surprised by this.

> In fact if you delve into it, there are a number of legends passed down from the indigenous peoples describing huge fires and unbelievable rain storms that flooded the whole of the central valley.

Huge fires are clearly things that can happen in California. Rain storms flooding the whole Central Valley aren’t as extreme as, say, over-a-month rain storms producing flooding everywhere on earth, as legends go, but have similar plausibility problems in that (1) they would leave material evidence which would have been found, and (2) the very same absence of a large-scale community with detailed records and communications that lets you say “the West Coast US has basically no historical record” means that the source of any such legend would necessarily have to be really free extrapolation from a much narrower observation.
I find this is a fairly typical comment. Though it acknowledges that there are differences of opinion and belief, it then tries to sidestep the philosophical quandary by simply claiming victory by default. (“My side is the only one that could have any legitimacy - see?”)
It's bizarre that this is the case given that ascii contains characters for this very purpose. There's record separator, group separator... Now if your data contains those, that's bad. But that's much rarer than containing ordinary whitespace.

You posted a comment that seems to have a thesis of “Windows isn’t actually as bad as you think it is”. Is that correct? If not, what were you trying to convey? If you had posted your statement in isolation or in a different context it might have a different meaning but I’m not seeing many interpretations here besides “yeah it’s actually super easy to remove this junk so it’s not a big deal”. The question is why it’s there in the first place?

There's a generic argument against DT, in any form, that was formulated back in the 1980s. All experience since then confirms the argument: it's that DT fusion reactors must have unacceptably low volumetric power density, much worse than fission reactors. This follows from limits on power/area at the reactor boundary and from minimum thickness of the blanket dictated by nuclear cross sections.
This will make the reactors much more expensive than fission reactors. And give that fission has proven to not be competitive, DT fusion has no chance.

I worked at a SaaS startup, where after 5 years, the monthly earnings would barely pay for the AWS bill and 1 mid level engineer. Gross profit was single digit percentage, based on the official COGS. COGS was likely low, since it expected to make the bad numbers look better. Most of the company got laid off. Even then, like 150% to 200% of revenue was going to payroll.

I'm not sure about GPT, because this is visual task.

Good examples are typical courier service, or FedEX. Or companies like Amazon make their own delivery services.

They usually have standard boxes/envelopes with standard barcode markings for correspondence.

All these boxes/envelopes gathered from sending offices and concentrated into sort facility, where machine vision could sort them, to separate container for each destination branch office, or for some places, big central office have it's own container.

Than containers load to big truck and run to destination city, where unload at destination branch office.

In destination branch office next sorting distribute packages to containers of small offices.

Then smaller truck deliver containers to small offices.

Similar thing happen on returns, just in target office created new mark and placed over old mark.

What could be wrong? - Some delivery companies allow containers of free form, not just rectangular or envelopes, just limiting weight and sum of sizes, so you for example could send car body kit, or skis, not inside rectangular container.

For human, handling such things is trivial task, but for machine it is nightmare. But if this thing will see something like GPT-4, which claimed multimodal, possible it will detect it right and understand how to handle it.

It scrapes a bunch of aggregator pages, just extracts linked text, casts out all but new links since last time, no whitespace whatsoever, and merges the links in a continuous stream so you can set a comfortable size and scroll. Sequence numbers help keep place as it takes several sessions to get to the bottom.
