Amusingly, the ping of death was somewhat a result of all the other UNIX ping tools that silently truncated the ICMP packet to the “standard” size, even when told to use a larger size. It was Windows ping that actually honored the packet size option, which allowed the larger ping packets to be sent. Im pretty sure that many UNIX systems were also affected by it, as they had never been exposed to larger ping packet either. I don’t know if there are good sources explaining this, but I remember it when it happened.
I lean to the side of AI progress over copyright, though I fear AI becoming stupid when incentive for original works maybe goes down, so I think society needs to figure out some social contract at least, like subsidies to keep new content flowing.

Almost nothing in tennis has to do with strength, quite the opposite. I can see definitely see more tall players become better with movement, ground strokes, and volleys(Medvedev, Zverev). Tall players still get injured a ton, but science is improving in the recovery department.

Since this is Hacker News I think I should point out Moore's Law.

All the computer modeling done by Hansen and others in the early 80's could be done today on a gamer desktop. The code itself is a mix of Fortran and (bleach) IDL (Interactive Data Language a product that today exists only to extract money from tiny niches of science). But rewriting it in Numpy/Julia/C++/Rust would be a month's exercise to most of us.

Which means if there was some way to model the climate while discounting the greenhouse effect, thereby providing evidence against manmade global warming, someone would have done it by now, with a Jupyter notebook.
Ah ok, makes sense.

I’d recommend you check out Apparency [1], which can inspect .app bundles and show you what’s up with the signing on your bundle. It looks like you include a few frameworks (which also need to be signed), so maybe you have components missing signatures/with mismatched signatures.

Many people think the justice system should systematically err towards mercy.

Highway cops might have discretion to let people off with a warning for minor violations, but the same discretion isn't supposed to let them punish people who are innocent. State governors have the power to grant pardons, but don't have the inverse power. And so on.

us-east-1 is many, many datacenters across its Availability Zones and tens of billions of investment for Amazon Web Services.

Across all the datacenters the number of operations personnel likely exceeds 100. Think of the unit of scale as a datacenter, with an availability zone potentially containing 10+ of those.

It’s okay for people to use the word “random” without meaning secure cryptographic randomness, even in a technical setting. To be pedantic myself, the word “random” has many legitimate meanings, so we don’t need to impose the most strict version of our favorite term of art on people any time an overloaded word is used, right? It’s fine to ask or point out or discuss the nuance, but saying “I think you mean X” is likely to be an incorrect assumption, no?

>but there are frequently fairly large natural disasters in the US - there are always hurricanes and stuff, there was that flooding in new York not so long ago, earthquakes in California in the 90s, wildfires etc.

Right but what type of datacenter related incidents did they cause? Did us-east-1 go down because of hurricane sandy? Did us-west-1 go down because of wildfires? I don't seem to remember any datacenter outages caused by wide area natural disasters, whereas I can remember plenty caused by BGP/DNS/config shenanigans.
I wonder how this affects things like the Oxford English Dictionary, wiktionary, and other corpus-based linguistics, which rely on sample sentences of the word usage in order to determine the context.

Because language is an evolving thing, it is almost certain that they have referenced sentences from copyrighted sources. E.g. I'm willing to bet that they have the sentence where Cory Doctorow introduces the term "enshittification". (The OALD 7ed in it's foreword even states "Corpus analysis now makes it possible to draw authentic examples from a vast range of attested contemporary usage. A concordance will display hundreds or thousands of them to choose from.")

I suspect that the inclusion of a few sentences -- especially those that introduce a new word or usage of a word -- are fair use, but the inclusion of the entire texts is not.

This then brings up an interesting point where the computer scientists/linguists developing tools like WordNet or other NLP databases would be at an advantage to those that take the approach of throwing a lot of data into a neural network and hoping for the best. Yes, it is a lot more work/effort to develop those NLP databases, but in the end they may end up being more robust, especially around the question of copyright.

Seeing that old Friden mechanical calculator under it's cover take me way back. We used them to do basic statistics on data sets in an NSF summer research school I attended after my high school sophmore year. What a sound a roomful of them could make.

At the time there was one computer on the college campus where the program was hosted - all batch, all punched cards, of course, and too valuable to be used for mere number crunching of undergraduate research. By the time I matriculated a year later, the physics department had its own PDP 8, and we did our number crunching on data sets punched onto paper tape, on that. Given the challenges in getting a data set properly punched and the cost of debugging, I'm pretty sure the PDP only saved net people time if you had to run the same computation at least several dozen times.
How quickly can the governments detect a regression? Weeks or months later?

The claim here is that an overnight minor update from v11.4.4 to v11.4.7 caused a significant regression.
I agree with checking the references, but again, my point is that as a general rule it's really not that easy. You can think it's easy because you have had the work done for you for this particular article and that it is obvious in this particular article, but in general, it is way more complicated.

Properly checking that the citation is indeed saying that often requires studying the quoted paper quite in details. Again, it may not have been the case here, but it is an amount of work that a reviewer should plan in advance.

But more importantly, and it makes your point moot: if the article is misrepresentating the reference, then, rather than in the peer-review process, it will be the reference author that will notice it.

I think it is my point: people here are seeing peer-review and are thinking that it is the ultimate method to decide what is good or bad (or what is "consensus"). This is ridiculous. A peer-reviewed article has NEVER been considered as "obviously correct and uncriticable". A peer-review is just one of the step in the long process. If indeed the references were not saying what the article is saying they say, it will end up being discovered.

The peer-review is the first step before submitting the article to the whole community, and it is then that the majority of the discussion happens.

> If you're not double-checking dubious claims

While I agree with the previous things, this bit makes me pause: careful with that, historically, the majority of correct claims were, at first, sounding dubious, and the majority of incorrect claims were, at first, sounding totally not dubious.

Let's rather say: let's double-check everything.

Wawrinka's single handed is arguably better than many double handers out there. It's combination of power and spin is unmatched. He can play the whole range of shots, gets incredible accuracy and appears to be repeatable enough to exchange rallies against the best forehand all day.

Many English Wikipedia articles about Eastern European history are propaganda from one of the sides. In some cases it's a deliberate effort by irredentist editors from whichever country to push their cause; in other cases, it's a result of editors from outside the region who can't read any of the the relevant languages and therefore don't understand that they are using biased sources uncritically.

The key point is that when using four tracks, the CPU basically just needed to tell the hardware where in memory a sample was, what frequency to play it at, and how long to go for, and then the hardware would just play it over DMA with no CPU time needed. That's eminently compatible with simultaneously running a game that requires about as much CPU power as the system has available.

Once you start going in to more than four channels, you suddenly start needing to do the mixing in the CPU instead. I remember my original Amiga 500 was capable of only doing 7 channels using OctaMED (six mixed into three, and one native), so the CPU load of mixing was significant. That is why it generally wasn't possible to use more than four channels in games.

Of course, once a bit more CPU power was available, doing the mixing in the CPU became no longer a problem.

One MP3 player used a neat trick for playing sound at better than 8-bit resolution. It would play the more significant bits one one channel, then set the volume of another channel (on the same side) lower and play the least significant bits on that channel, and the hardware would keep them in absolute lock-step. (And obviously do that twice using all four channels for stereo output.)

curl is an excellently powerful library and utility but I agree that wget has better defaults. I am almost certain to get the behavior that I want by just throwing a URL at wget, including retrying from the point where it had an issue. I actually ran into a case where our corporate firewall was a little too eager to block a download being performed by the Visual Studio installer because of a signature match partway through a specific download. All I had to do to grab the file was have wget download it. No magic incantations, it was just smart enough to not start the download from the beginning after being cut off, and since it started midway it no longer tripped the signature match rule.

There's another crucial aspect to this which is that most orchards you see are absolute monocultures. There's an enormous value in planting a diversity of companion crops and staggering species in orchards, and you see a lot less ruin in these types of orchard designs.

The problem with monocultures is you have no breaks where competition from other bug species, birds, animals, etc, keeps an ecosystem in balance. So you end up creating this environment where a pest can take off without any resistance.

This is usually not done out of a desire to maximize yields. Farmers don't want to take up space with trees that are 'not producing'. But the other way to look at it is that those other plants and trees are producing a ton of value, they're just not producing a crop per se. That said, many companion plants can also be valuable crops in their own right.

I just mentioned this elsewhere. But everyone in freelancing and agency feels the same way. If only they could get that sweet passive income they could relax and have a stable buisness. Here are some things to consider:

- have you ever built and maintained a large codebase/project over several years?

- have you ever sold or marketed a product rather than a service?

- are you ready to compete with the whole world, as opposed to locally?

In my experience they are completely different skills, that agencies and freelancers do not have.

One approach is to develop internal "products" that make you more efficient. The bar drops from being something a customer can buy and enjoy right off the shelf, to being a productivity multiplier.

I persnally actually accepted the opposite. If everyone is obsessed with passive income and not doing work, to the extent that they are accepting tiny margins with artificially low discount rates, I want to maximize the value of the time I do concrete work.
