> BRICS called, they wanna give back some funny money they've been hoarding. I think you might want to send it to the folks in the UMBRAGE group, see what they have to (not) say about it ..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_7#UMBRAGE

Russia has similar groups of cyber threat actors so this doesn’t really prove anything.

> so making the Poles hate Russia even more

I’m pretty sure Polands feelings regarding Russia are poor enough that a simple attack on their rail system is not going to make them change the way they feel.

> eventually resulting in public support of Polands' occupation of Western Ukraine attaining critical populist mass .. seems like an easy outcome of this attack.

This doesn’t seem like it’s ever gonna happen as it doesn’t have any reason to.

Do you have any evidence that Poland is planning to occupy western Ukraine?.

> Especially given todays newsroll explaining the Zelensky doesn't have its allies support for the invasion of Russia .

Ukraine doesn’t want to invade Russia they want to stop Russias invasion so I’m not sure what this sentence even means.
I don't know of any actual TVs that have this, but Amazon's Sidewalk network seems ideal to route around this. If you have an Echo device hooked to the internet, any Sidewalk device within hundreds of feet now has a low-bandwidth internet connection that could phone home usage information.

Or they could just build a cellular modem into the TV. It's all about whether the payoff is worth the cost.
I see, thanks. If that's the case I wish they'd just say they're not willing to give out their name, but so it goes.
And when it all goes to shit they can blame it on a flakey excel formula.
Isn't this confusing cause and effect? Fewer people are having children because it is harder than ever to afford a family, not because the locals have decided passively not to continue on.

Immigration absolutely depresses wages - if you import more supply, what happens to the price? That doesn't require advanced economics to understand.
> But would it really have hurt to have the SEC say “we’ll be applying the Howey Test to NFTs, if you plan to sell one we’d recommend consulting a lawyer versed in securities law before proceeding”.

They did that a few years back for ICOs, sending out "You seem to be doing an ICO. Tell us why you don't need to register this as a security". The ICO market mostly evaporated. A few ICOs did a securities registration.

Embarrassing questions have to be answered in a securities registration. Like "Who are you?" "Where do you live?" "What's your previous financial experience?" "Do you have a criminal record?". Crypto people are scared of that stuff.
Solution: Make both the sellers and the buyers liable, and once credits are identified as fake, require easily-verifiable removal (i.e. not just buying the next round of fake credits).

Optionally add some multiplier (if you get caught selling or using fake credits, you have to actually remove 3x the CO2 that you fake-avoided).
Rust is a starkly different vocabulary and syntax than other languages I've learned. The error handling is different than both Python, C, Matlab, etc. Objects suddenly have ownership that has to be respected.

If I see Java source, it makes sense even though I don't know Java... at least up until how javax.swing layouts are constructed or I see a really obscure annotation without comments. If I had to add something to the Arduino 1.0 IDE, I'm confident I could figure it out in a day or two, because a class is a class, lines end with semicolons and comments look /* like this */, I can guess the existence of sort() or random() or an int being either int, Int, or Integer.

In contrast, a Rust "trait" being roughly equivalent to a C "struct" would not have been in my top 20 guesses. I can't recall trait being a keyword in ANY language I've used. I have no idea what Box and Arc are, because to me, those are "what you put tools in" and "plasma from too much potential difference".

Yes, I can check the reference (constantly) but at some point looking up every word or tick mark gets in the way of absorbing the story. The punctuation in particular bothers me, because it's not searchable via engine. There's no special Google result for

rust '

I can't be more clear. My ability to read/write code extends beyond pseudocode. Rust is just not an easy transition for a "primarily C" user, in my experience and opinion.
I didn't think OP was bearish. In fact they seem very bullish on AI and their capabilities. If a software engineer can do something then there is no reason that an AI copilot can't do it. Most software jobs don't require much thinking and I expect that almost all work at the higher levels of the software stack will be automated similar to OP.

I have always kept a pair of Sawyer Mini SP128 water filters in my first aid and travel kits. We were able to use them when we went to South America to filter out stuff in the water that could have made us sick. They’ve been proven to be more effective than the life straw portable water filters. They’re about $20-30 on Amazon.
Even if there were 1 second ticks, there would be a race every second (or minute) to get in queue for specific trades. And therefore the speed race would continue as it is now. It would just happen on the edge of every second instead of continuously.

As long as you have markets, you are going to have market makers and takers trying to get edge. It happens on Wall Street and also every other market place you can think of.
I agree that there is rent seeking in this setup, but the overall value of free and open markets greatly overshadows that cost.
I do the same thing, don't hook it up to internet, never update, don't use smart features, watch everything off a separate Kodi box.

But TVs have become so hopelessly enshittified I would support legislation at this point. I am sure they are making a lot of money serving these ads ensuring the behavior will only continue and no "normal tvs" will even be sold.

My Samsung’s auto HDMI switching and CEC (ATV, Xbox, Blu Ray) works 95% of the time. I hardly see their switching menu.

I went to settings and opted out of everything I could, and only hook up via Ethernet to update firmware.
I don't think the TV can electrically tell the difference between the ethernet port being soldered in or not. Removing the wireless NIC was the only thing I was concerned might cause some broken behaviors.
Because `echo -n` is a BSD-ism that's not supported on System V derivatives¹. It's perfectly legitimate for:

echo -n "please hash this data"

...to output the bytes "-n please hash this data\n", which is even more misleading than the extra newline echo outputs normally.

I like how the people who say the cryptocurrencies millions of people actually want and use are ponzi scams, but don't apply the same standard of reasoning to carbon credits that nobody wants, and for which organic demand is zero.

Carbon credits are just nihlist virtue tokens that spread viral malignant bureaucracy. It's a made up thing to insert party faithful into organizations to "manage," this pretend virtue money.

fungi network? There were studies how the trees help each other through the fungi networks - though my thinking is that it is fungi who balance the tree coverage to their liking. Either way the studies clearly established that the fungi network is a tree communicating network of at least grove-scale. I think it may as well be much bigger - especially if it is fungi who would orchestrate, or at least symbiotically help to orchestrate, the mast year behavior.
I believe an engineer deserves whatever salary they can get. I try not to compare my salary with others; in the end we're all enabling huge salaries for upper management and CEO's, huge profits for shareholders. If someone makes $150K, $200K, that's awesome.

It's possible though, I found, to keep my midwest upbringing unspoilt in Silicon Valley. I ate out only once a week with the whole family, never took Uber, never owned a Tesla (owned a used minivan though).

After 26 years though I quit, sold the house, and moved with the wife (now empty nesters) back to the midwest.

Now I miss the excellent Asian food.
I'm most curious about this: "weights were relaxed" Is that something you've seen with your own eyes? What does it even mean, how did you observe it? Seems hard to verify without proprietary information, if it even means something to begin with.

Not OP, but I would probably say something like "don't have kids, it's morally irresponsible to bring children into a world where they will have to deal with conditions likely worse and far more barbaric than climate change which causes immense suffering in the future".

Then I'd quickly duck out before they reported me for being a witch.
Depends on the buyer. Many avoid GCP because of a perceived lack of policy / customer service reliability.
It is almost certainly sufficient for all extant models of TVs. It might not continue to be sufficient in the future, but for now, it probably is. And as another commenter pointed out, if you are really that worried about it, TVs are still among the easier electronics to open up, so you can just physically remove/destroy the networking hardware.

If a manufacturer ever _does_ ship a TV that will look for and auto connect to open networks, I'm curious if they would think to still do that, even if the TV is connected to a closed network. My guess is that they probably wouldn't (generally not worth the time to program for edge cases). So you could connected to a virtual network that doesn't have WAN access. The TV is connected to a network so (likely) wouldn't look for open networks, and still can't phone home or download updates.
I have a big projector. Though I haven’t used it much recently. It gets hot and it’s in a well lit room..

> engineers who refuse to learn its capabilities might well fall behind

Disagree because the answers and code snippets from humans are still vastly superior to AI and most questions have answers readily found on the first page of a search engine. A helpful human on the internet is more likely to rewrite all your code faster than you'd be able to cobble together some crap from a chat bot.
Also you don't even need an extremely dedicated space these days. Laser projectors like https://www.epson.com.au/LS12000B/ give better image than some TVs... without closing the curtains during the day. (Based on my older model, I assume they only got better)
I mean, if they could actually work then they'd be perfectly valid.

Say Carbon-capture were at a point where we could actually say that my paying $100 caused an extra metric ton of CO2 to be extracted from the atmosphere.

Then it actually would work to reduce what I can and offset the rest. Carbon is fungible. If I release 100 tons and capture 120 tons, I've done the world a favor.

The issue is simply that the Carbon Capture schemes seem to be hot air.
I have encountered this behavior for along time, on probably most of the sites on which I have used PayPal. It's annoying, but it's not new. Perhaps the service you are using messed up their implementation somewhere.

It is a bit of a dark pattern since it's one less opportunity for you to back out, but I don't think PayPal is to blame.

This is now my favorite Hacker News comment ever.
It's also the concepts.

The comment from fauigerzigerk sums it up well. You just have to know via experience, a great teacher, or very attentive learning that vec![1,2,3] is going to pop all of its values in a "print elements" loop while [1,2,3] will retain each value.

Other languages have similar behavior, but it's often more obvious e.g. Python with the .next() keyword.

What is presented here is a self-referential type, and Rust does not allow you to declare self-referential types, and an indexed arena is a solution to that. You are correct that you still have all the issues you described - that doesn't mean it should be a 'last resort' to stop using an incorrect system of lifetimes, because there is no 'safe code with lifetimes' that encodes a self-referential type. The type safety issue is solved by using slotmap or typed-generational-arena, which use unique key types.

I agree with this assessment. However, the book was never supposed to be realistic, simply a plausible beginning to a story. Idealistic hope, and imagining yet unimagined sci-fi stories that specifically reject the dystopian mindset that can often plague sci-fi, is kind of KSR's thing. All of his books are like this.
Over the last 3-4 years, I've spent a lot of time around RE folks. I can't speak for places like malls, but I have encountered quite a few that own your typical plaza/strip mall, and this is not at all how they think. Most are relatively simple folks, who make less than your typical SV SW engineer. Their goal is not to maximize profit, but rather to not work. That's why they really like triple net lease[1] - so they don't even have to think about it.

Once they've covered all their expenses so they can "retire" from their regular job, they put all the extra income into other RE efforts (namely buying other such strip malls). For lease renewals, they'll usually charge just the market rates. They are very unlikely to hyperfocus on one particular business they rent out to - they have better uses of their time, and don't want volatile income. They want something steady and reliable. They know restaurants have thin margins and may fail.

There's an Indian restaurant in one of the top food streets in my city that people love - a lot of folks consider it amongst the best in the city. I once jokingly told the owner "What will it take for you to open in my suburb?" She said that before she opened where she did, she tried to open at a plaza close to my house, but the rent was too high. I was shocked - that plaza is a graveyard of restaurants and businesses, and is not at all a happening location. Yet a top food street in the city charges less?

It's not a crazy story. It happens often.

Sorry, I will try to make it more clear.

NAND is more complex than AND, in the sense that it is more expressive than AND (having functional completeness which AND does not).

Similarly, it can be built from other less complex operators (AND and NAND).

If you're taking "One thing" to the extreme, in terms of the granularity or complexity of that "one thing", NAND is not as granular or simple as AND - and therefore isn't taking it to as far "to the extreme".
Anecdotes like this are just as banal and repetitive to me as mine was to you. MBAs could but socio-political/economic focus on job creation.

I’m not talking about MBAs but younger people using AI at home now.

They won’t need you or Django in their future.

I’m booting a Linux from Scratch distro to an LLM and training it to normalize it’s initial code base and reboot itself. So far so good. Next steps are add a GPU rendered empty 3D viewport; think like a blank Blender project. Then add in NeRF libs and such to render my own content.

Constrained to a task and not used as a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, AI as-is does some mesmerizing stuff.

Reread the Google “no moat” memo; they and OpenAI screwed up with big models, said small tunable models are the way to go.

You go ahead an reminisce about 2005 and how much smarter you are than everyone. I’m going to iterate on new ideas with my kids.
“[the security researchers] may be liable for fines, damages and each individual of the [security research] Group may be imprisoned… Criminal penalties under the CFAA can be up to 20 years depending on circumstances.”

“the Group’s actions are also a violation of Buzz’s Terms of Use and constitute a breach of contract, entitling Buzz to compensatory damages and damages for lost revenue.”

“the Group’s agreement to infiltrate Buzz’s network is also a separate offense of conspiracy, exposing the Group to even more significant criminal liability.”

Emphasis added. The language is quite a bit more forceful and threatening than you make it out to be. Given that they were issuing these threats as an ultimatum, a "keep quiet about this or else...", it was likely a violation of California State Bar's rules of professional conduct.
> One time I asked a web dev friend of mine what he thought of Kubernetes and he didn't even know what it was. This was just a couple years ago. I was shocked at little he knew and how much he got paid.

Not be a good heuristic. Maybe they're in a job where they don't have to use Kubernetes.

Like, I know compiler developers who have no need to bother with Kubernetes.

In college they might have struggled; some people just don't work that well in a classroom environment. That doesn't necessarily mean they're idiots. Or maybe they improved afterwards.

Just because somebody got an A in classroom tests doesn't necessarily mean they should be the most-compensated.

The real world is complex.
I don't connect any of my Samsung TVs to the Internet, instead opting to use Google's stupid Google TV sticks, with some modifications to reduce some of the crapware that even those ship with and get rid of the otherwise unavoidable advertisements everywhere. This is, so far, the best setup I've managed, but even then it's far from ideal. These TVs are absolutely buggy. The most HDMI ports you can seem to find is around 3, and good luck getting them all to work right. HDMI CEC support can be enabled, but for some dumb reason you can't control the volume over HDMI CEC, so you still need an IR blaster for that (one point for using Google TV: the remote has a pretty versatile IR blaster built-in.) You also may think a Samsung TV and a Samsung "soundbar" would be a good pairing since they're both Samsung, and you'd be very foolish to think that, don't bother updating the firmware on either thing, it's going to randomly not work either way. I have to reboot the damn thing any time I want to use the HDMI input that it forwards to the TV because of course that doesn't work even when the firmware on both devices is completely up to date. Lest you think maybe it's just me, I have family who also has a Samsung TV + Samsung Soundbar combo and it also is similarly spotty.

What I want:

- A display panel that looks decent.

- A decent HDMI switch built-in, 5 inputs seems fair enough.

- A remote control that can send inputs over CEC.

- Automatic power off when there's no connection.

What I get:

- Advertisements everywhere.

- Tizen, the most miserable operating system I've had the displeasure of trying to use, and its godforsaken app store of garbage.

- Display processing that makes everything look horrifying by default.

- A game mode that improves latency from horrific to awful but causes really strange and confusing glitches.

- An ecosystem of very questionable hardware. Overpriced speakers inside of a plastic shell with a bunch of marketing attached, that barely work, and require taking one of the two or three HDMI ports you have for full functionality.

- If you dare connect it to the internet, you are subjected to ACR and data collection that should probably flat out be outlawed.

I didn't ask for any of this, but Samsung et al. need more revenue sources for these things I guess, that I don't believe they even sell at a loss anyway.

At this point I'm wondering if there is a single fucking thing I will ever buy in the future that I won't become completely disillusioned with. There's also my car, which has software brakes, and there's a known software bug that can cause them to error when you start the car sometimes, and it's not even an EV, where I'm sure I could experience the hell of tomorrow, today.

Misleading title; the study is very specifically about carbon offsetting by slowing deforestation. There are other incredibly common methods of carbon offsetting, e.g. renewable energy projects in developing countries. This study does not cover those. It's been known for a long time that tree-related carbon offsetting is one of the least reliable ways in general.
