Modern messaging protocols, including the Signal Protocol used by WhatsApp, use Diffie-Hellman key agreement for Forward Secrecy. DH requires an exchange between two active parties, who will then agree on an ephemeral session key. Ideally the session key is deleted once it is no longer being used, rendering any captured cipher texts useless.

While we could encrypt sessions keys under an escrow key that the authorities control, that's a very serious degradation of forward secrecy. If an authority's escrow key is ever compromised, then all sessions encrypted with keys escrowed are also compromised. Non-negotiated keys that are re-used are also inherently more vulnerable to cryptanalysis, so it's an invitation for trouble if any cryptographic weaknesses are found in the escrow scheme. These are technical considerations.
Their equipment review posts and videos are a must-watch. Even if you don't end up picking the winner, they will point out the best/worst aspects of their winners and losers that almost certainly apply to the products you're looking at.

ATK is one of the few digital subscriptions I'm thrilled to pay for -- it pays for itself every year just in bad equipment purchases.

(E.g., knowing that their top picks for kitchen timers will last many years despite being twice the price as cheapo ones, or knowing that buying the cheap bamboo wooden spoons is actually preferable.)
What does "dinner service" mean to you?

I cook a fairly standard south Indian dinner of daal stew, rice + stir fried veggies a couple times a week in ~30-45 minutes of total work. Nothing preprocessed, premixed, or premade other than (and these are really stretching the definitions thereof):

* Asofoetida powder that's been preground and dried for me

* The rice has been polished and debran-ed (ie, turned into white rice)

* pressure cooked lentils (I make a big batch every weekend or so and freeze it into dinner sized portions)
If you have to scroll, they are not displayed. You seem to have a working definition of "display" which does not include making something visible, but that conflicts with every actual definition of the term.
My wife is a great cook. Breakfast and dinner can be 20-40 minutes. But the main dish of the day (lunch) takes us between 45 and 120 minutes.
Apple and their dragons horde of cash was a prime subject in what I thought was a really excellent article, Intellectual Property and the Fissured Economy. Horded IP had created insurmountable moats around these titans. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37169236 https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2023/05/intellectual-prop...
We all have the same productivity? Nice!
Great article.

In Australia we have the ACCC as our consumer protection body, which does great work in this space. When I travel overseas I'm marveled by the lack of standardisation of ingredient and nutritional information presented in other countries.

It sounds like in lieu of a strong consumer protection body the US falls to random lawyers like this to keep industry players in line. This mechanism doesn't seem to work at all.
> Think about that for 2 seconds. What does it mean?

Apple makes stuff that people want and are willing to pay for.
Show HN: Tokinals – expirable tickets and passes on the Bitcoin blockchain
The Tokinal Standard is a new protocol designed for inscribing time-bound or usage-limited passes, tickets, ballots, or other conditional access assets onto the Bitcoin blockchain. Using ordinals and recursive inscriptions, Tokinals introduces a degree of ephemerality into ordinals, thereby unlocking new possibilities for tokenized ownership and unique applications across various sectors such as tickets, passes, in-game assets, ballots and more.

You can inscribe and issue tokinals here:
https://tokinals.com

You can read more on the standard here:
https://docs.tokinals.com

Would be great to get HN's thoughts on the protocol.
Disney Coding Adventures is a series of physical books that present coding basics like functions and loops, but it sounds like your 8 year old may have progressed beyond that.
Singapore has EZ Link and NETS. Anyone who drives in Singapore would be familiar with NETS as it is the main payment method for car parks (parking garages for my American brethren).

NETS has been slowly transitioning from a contact based card (similar to a SIM card) to a NFC/RFID contactless card. Some car parks do NOT accept the new type contactless card which means that you really need to have both flavors of NETS cards when driving.
Ethan Chlebowski sometimes talks about this in his recipes. But there's not much to it really - you just have to get in the habit of cleaning while cooking. Most recipes will have a few intermissions where you're just waiting for something to cook, water to boil, some meat to brown/saute etc. I use those times to clean and usually only spend 2 minutes cleaning up after the cooking is done.

This is something I wonder about. How separate are the salt ions when salt dissolves in water? If you add a chunk of sodium to water it will explode; that doesn't happen when you add salt.

SiFive's 2-stage pipeline E20 (and Arm's Cortex M0+) still execute 1 instruction per clock cycle on straight line code -- they just take an extra cycle on any taken branch .. doesn't matter whether conditional, unconditional, call, return.

SERV takes 32 clock cycles for most instructions, 64 cycles for some such as shifts and branches.

Yes, there are some things SERV is fast enough for, but E20 is not all that much slower than 5-stage pipe plus branch prediction E31 -- E20 does 1.2 DMIPS/MHz compared to E31 1.6 (and Arm Cortex M0+ 0.95, M3/M4 1.25)
This is what I think of whenever companies talk of the harms and overuse of class action lawsuits.

We’ve decided on the approach of replacing real regulation with class action lawsuits. And if that’s the case, I’m damn glad there are people holding the manufacturers feet to the fire (or the lack of fire, in the case of Bkue Diamond).

I’d be happy to replace this whole system with some real, effective regulation. But until that day, I’m very skeptical of anyone who wants to get rid of class action lawsuits.
I don't see how. I haven't played Starfield yet, but from what I've read, all the planets are pretty much the same with a few textures and biomes swapped out and a few random encampments added. You can't even explore the entire planet, just whatever the game engine decides is a planet.

No Man's Sky already did the "trillions of planets" thing, and with that game you could seamlessly go from planet to planet, where in Starfield, it's all loading screens.

Seems like a paid, propped up article, to promote a mediocre game.
This didn't initially work for me. I changed DNS server settings tore down all my outside connections (physically), brought them back up…nada. Still infinite loop. Then I remembered I have an on-device ad filter implemented as a VPN, toggled that off and nn again, and now it works without even presenting a captcha. So, thank you for point me in the right direction!
Luckily, we had a real judge say that’s not a monopoly.

But by that logic Shopify has a monopoly on distributing Shopify apps, and McDonalds has a monopoly on Quarter Pounders.
100% of the heat we get from the sun is currently lost as waste heat, by one means or another. So you're not boiling the oceans by any reasonable projection of energy usage increase of solar energy.

(yes yes some of it is reflected back into space as non-IR light, but you can also lose IR-emissions back into space without heating the Earth as well).

That is false dilemma between 'only compositor can handle screensavers / global keybindings / screen grabs' and 'arbitrary app can grab screen / read all keystrokes'.

It is easily conceivable to have a system, where regular applications cannot do these things, but privileged programs can do that (without being integrated into one big compositor).
I believe recruiters can pay to send “InMail” messages even if you aren’t already a connection. This seems to be the source of a lot of my recruiter spam. Or connect requests with a recruiting message.
> Tell me, how do you fix something like that like that?

A little at a time; continuous refactoring/improvement is a vital pillar of agile. You've got 50 redundant fields that can be inferred but you have to understand the domain to do that? Well, understand the domain a bit, and infer one of them. Then next time you come back to that part of the code do another one.

(I mean, if the table was like that already then it sounds like the API didn't introduce a new problem, it just surfaced a problem you already had)
You realize most people don't read the ingredients or are even aware of laws about protected terms such as organic? If you genuinely don't understand how that's misleading marketing, then you have no idea what most people are like.

Could the average consumer be more educated? Sure. Could companies be less shitty about marketing their products in a misleading way? Yep.

Let me give you my favorite example of a legally acceptable (and actually used) marketing gimmick: a good source of calcium with milk! I've seen this on products with literally 0% calcium, because everything is a good course of calcium with milk. This comment is a good source of calcium with milk.

As to your example the issue isn't that it contains olive oil, but that it's not the primary oil used in the product when the labeling clearly implies that. It's a shitty marketing practice that misleads uninformed consumers into buying their product. Quit victim blaming and maybe we should just have marketing that isn't purposefully deceitful?

Unformatted is irrelevant (or a benefit).

That is contains slang is a huge benefit - how else will it learn slang?

That is often far from the truth is of mixed value. Firstly it is very unclear that a LLM is the best method for holding facts. Secondly, the "untrue" data at least gives the LLM an idea of what could be true given a context, which lets it learn a better model of the world.

For example, if it gets a lot of text wrongly claiming that "Winston Churchill is the 40th President of the United States" it will add to the evidence that "The President of the United States" and "Winston Churchill" are both in the class of "people".

This is opposed to nonsense text like "A carpet States President United" (which is just noise).
I wonder if those compounds would bind well with Henna for your hair treatment idea.
Smelling is more than just being able to detect an odor. You also need to be able to understand what that odor is. The capacity to recognize an odor from a certain volume of smell chemicals being tipped off is actually a distinguishing pattern of multiple sclerosis!

How would it destroy any of them? They could all still be used together by anyone who prefers that. Anyone who wanted to could continue to install apps only from a specific App Store even if others were available. You could still run iOS on an iPhone even if iOS also ran on Samsung devices and Android also ran on iPhones.

The only change is that you could also choose something different.
Conversely the people who argue against growth never have any answers they want to elaborate on. They have "well we can't have endless growth" and that's where the conversation stops.

They never want to examine the consequences of that thought (no growth means we're into a zero-sum game) or whether they think we're even plausibly close to the limit (instead they want to have a proxy argument about environmental damage or global warming, and are very uninterested in any specific solutions to their go to examples - i.e. "we can't possibly stop emitting CO2 from power generation, we must simply use less power!").
Another YouTube cooking personality I really like is Internet Shaquille (https://m.youtube.com/@internetshaquille). His videos are very informationally dense without engaging in many of the typical YouTuber nonsense. And the ads are always at the end.
If you lie in big letters in a TV ad, and tell the truth in the fine print somewhere, we have a name for that: false advertising.

If the front tells a lie in 45 point font, and the only place the truth is discovered is in 9pt font on the back, it’s a fraud. Sorry, that’s just how it works.

You don’t have to list every ingredient on the front, but you can’t lie (or deliberately mislead) on the front, and get away with it because you told the truth on the back.
I may be a square, but I think it’s insane to self-medicate with supplements without the oncologist being fully aware and supportive.

Cancer sucks and is complex enough without adding more variables. Especially if you’re dealing with immunotherapies and managing secondary infections and other complications. Plus, any problems that develop are going to be divvied up between various specialists.

Which is kinda what I thought. This isn't about your upthread point about Fugu. You're doing a platform advocacy thing, which I'm not interested in. I jumped in to point out that it's simply not true that Fugu is poorly supported in ChromeOS, because it's not. I'm not trying to have a fight about platforms.
Have you ever thought that it might be because of the regulatory environment in Europe that the tech system is so enemic?
I learned to cook in the '90s and '00s, so before cooking videos. I was mostly self-taught, from cookbooks and magazines. I absolutely would have benefited from some of the basic techniques type videos available now: the kinds that show what simmering looks and sounds like compared to what boiling looks like. The kind that shows how to soften onions until they're glassy, and how to sauté garlic without burning it.

My main mistakes back then were simply using too high a heat (though on rare occasion not high enough, like when pan-searing fish), cooking too long, and not using enough oil. All of these things could have been corrected with basic technique videos.

On a somewhat related note, a long time ago I learned how to make gnocchi from an elderly Italian woman. Her teaching technique was immersive: she simply made a batch of it with me standing at her side. There's an art to how quickly you knead the flour into the potatoes: if you don't knead it in rapidly enough you work it too much and it gets tough. You also don't want to overshoot and knead too much flour in. She would work a certain amount in, then have me poke the dough to feel it, and she'd comment on the consistency and where in the process we were; things like "this is what it feels like when you're almost there" and "now it is ready". These things were remarkably hard to put into words, it was a much more immediate thing, like she could detect and point out to me how different it felt from thirty seconds ago. These were things like resilience, just how resistant the dough was to being poked and how quickly it popped back. I can't see how this kind of thing could be conveyed in text or a video, or any way other than in person.
The Art of Imperfection
I was thinking of the Lower 9th Ward, but was going off citations that it was > 50% vacant in 2015. It looks like it was largely rebuilt between 2015-2022.
I've been in an elevator that was being operated by a human.

And that was the norm, until about the 1950s or 1960s when electronics became good-enough to allow those lowly passengers to control lifts for themselves, and save the wage-cost of several full-time employees for each lift. I think the last time I saw a human lift-operator was around the 1980s.

A good lift-operator could judge the lift well enough that there was no lip at all between the lift's floor and the building's floor. Some couldn't and there might be a 6-inch step to make, and that was dangerous. Today, electronics has removed that problem almost entirely and we never think about it.

And then indicating what was on each floor: 'Going up. First floor: home appliances, credit department, crockery and glassware.' And that was apart from listening to questions, being able to tell you which floor you wanted for your purchases, and telling you that you had arrived at that floor.

Of course there were all those lift operator jokes: 'Going up. ladies' dresses. Going down, ladies' underwear.'
With this analysis no energy source is renewable, and we'd even run out of sunlight (or surface area that can be dedicated to solar power anyways, or see demand exceed solar power were we to put solar panels on every square inch of the planet's surface).

In reality we're already certain to hit a population maximum in just two+ decades, and not only that but the world is very likely to be on a negative population growth curve after that for some time. And we're going to need some new tech revolution to drive energy demand in developed countries up much more than it is, and the developing world's per-capita demand will not likely exceed the developed world's once fully developed.

I.e., we're not growing forever, the end of population growth is around the corner, and the end of energy demand growth is not much further.

I wonder how well it would work for building an "apropos" tool for searching man pages (and infotext)?
Unless those countries have increasingly western lifestyles, stable political systems and growing economies, then it actually doesn't matter. The grim reality is that all those places have substantial modifiers on their death rates, and aren't exporting their increasing population to the world in any meaningful way.

We know from experience that if those places actually started to improve, then the birth rate would drop precipitously.
I am not a doctor. It is very sunny in the middle east (skin cancer?). Fasting is part of their cultural/religious tradition.
this is sort of the bigger picture observation I have about LLMs in general: that they seem to be massively over-parameterised, which in a classical statistical world would suggest they will readily over fit and it will be hard to get them to generalise beyond regurgitating their training material. Yet this is not the behaviour we see. So in some sense the "magic" we have seen flourish is that LLMs have managed to devise training mechanisms that do let them learn without over fitting in the context of a large excess of parameters. Part of it may be the sheer volume of training material but I suspect even with that you would get straight up regurgitation because it is so hard to stop the input data being degenerate. So other factors about how the training works must be contributing to this.

Of course, this is all my semi-layman speculation about this and I'm curious what actually knowledgeable people think.
