That's 400 req/s on a distributed cloud environment. 400 requests per second on a $5 VPS is practically free, 400 requests per second on Azure Lambda (or whatever they call it) can bankrupt you.

That $5 VPS will also be null routed within days with the kinds of DDOS traffic sites like HIBP get.
That's an interesting observation that human vision can make out detail from a noisy signal. Non-generative CNNs are typically going to filter noise due to the loss functions used. Generative models could in theory learn to recognize whatever signal in that noise humans are queuing on and guess at the missing content. I think there'd be resistance to generative models in photography pipelines though based on the "made-up pixels" argument.
Interestingly it's only one letter in the esolang Rewi: û
it... did? Their final answer is:

> nimium valedīxit or totiēns valedīxit: "she bade farewell too much before" or "she bade farewell so many times before".

nimium/totiēns conveying "too many times before" and "valedīxit" conveying "she said goodbye".
The problem is that there are complex concepts that translate to a single syllable in some languages but requires a lot of context or explanation in other languages. Would these be "single instructions" or multiple? Then when you really break it down, many concepts are used grammatically but are not required based on their context. Should you count that as extraneous or not? An example is that some languages use a case system to indicate the epistemology of a statement, how the speaker knew that information (i.e. saw it first hand, heard it second hand, or saw evidence of it). Depending on the context, this may be vital or extraneous. Therefore the same statement that is "compressed" to remove useless information would be compressed two different ways. That doesn't seem feasible. All of this is to say, this sounds good in theory, but the complexities on practice are insurmountable.
Find a midsize company that isn’t a tech company and needs help maintaining a very old but critical system. There’s very little accountability since management doesn’t understand software and it pays well because it’s boring as shit and no one wants to do it
IMO, yes - because governments then either compel or buy this data from the private sector.
At some point the city will move more to the Right as will the state. There is a misunderstood demographic that is large, diverse and at odds with the young Progressive crowd (many of whom are out-of-state transplants). Evidence of what I've just said can be seen in the breakdowns of which mayoral candidates were most popular by neighborhood. The most pro-police ones were in the poorer and less white boroughs, while the most radical left-wing ones were in the white, upper-class hipster neighborhoods.

Immigration is just another one of these types of these issues that's not well understood by upper-class liberals, is my speculation. Conversations with people and observations are making me think the migrant issue has potential to galvanize the working class to oppose it.
Meh, ChatGPTs answer might be very different if it would have been trained on this stackexchange thread.
But its not just used for ad targeting for things you might actually want to buy.

It's used for political campaigns, and social manipulation. Governments can also compel the private company to reveal information they have about people.

As I said a few comments above, it's possible for things to be run efficiently; there's just less of an incentive to do so.

In terms of this exact comparison - is this like for like? I don't understand it well enough to know.

Data backup for Windows

With this backup software you back up the complete Windows system and create a backup to external USB media, to network storage systems or to any cloud.

Thanks to the automatic data backup, all important folders on the backup medium are directly available and can be restored at any time, without you having to access third-party software to restore them in an emergency.

With Langmeier Backup, your backup medium is always kept up-to-date. The data backup starts, for example, when you connect your external hard drive, or according to a schedule you set. This way, you always have an up-to-date backup at hand, without having to think about backing up your data first.

Langmeier Backup takes care of backing up your data, files and emails, with no need for you to manually gather and copy your newly changed data over and over again.
Something which is the default for basically every keyboard-driven GUI in the world isn't dead by any reckoning.
Remote update mechanisms will be used to deliberately brick or downgrade the device (usually for petty commercial reasons), by unintended parties (e.g. Chinese spies with leverage over Chinese manufacturers), at the wrong time (e.g. one hour of outage when the smart oven should be cooking dinner), and so on.

Signature verification without human users controlling the updates means protecting an attack vector.

Almost double
Just yesterday I was helping with an incident and we had outlined two possible solutions. The first was bad (do nothing, leave things in a somewhat bad state), the second was a ton of work (including restoring from snapshot). I was able to describe these solutions as a spectrum.

1. Do nothing, bad state remains
2. Surgically restore to world before bad state
3. Remove all bad state (even if it wasn't caused by the incident)

I'm omitting some details, but I think this strategy can be effective.

How configurable should X be? We have one customer who wants it to be configured like this. All other customers want it configured like that.

We can make X maximally configurable which would allow future customers to have a custom setup - how likely is that?

The answerer does say that either the perfect past (Latin’s closest to -ed) or the pluperfect past (Latin’s closest to had -ed) would work, they just chose perfect past. Maybe that choice was because the perfect past has a sense of finality that English’s simple past doesn’t, so it isn’t necessary to reach deeper into the sequence of tenses as it is in English.

Ask HN: What Hidden Gems in the Science and Tech World You Might Be Missing?
In the fast-paced world of technology and science, it's easy to get caught up in the buzz of mainstream advancements. Yet, often it's the lesser-known discoveries and innovations that pave the way for groundbreaking shifts. Whether it's an obscure paper, a niche tech startup, an unsung scientist making waves - or even just a transformative tool - I'm curious: What are those "hidden gems" you've come across that the rest of us might be overlooking? Share your insights and let's shine a light on the underrated and the underappreciated!
Interoperability is focused on what happens between services, not what happens inside. You don't have to use a specific database schema to be able to support standards in APIs.

Billion-scale vector search with Vespa – part one (2021)
First solution: Yes, finding the PC CD for this game took me like 20 minutes, both new/old in even my country for something like 20 EUR. If the author wanted to, I'm sure they could have found it equally easy.

Second solution: Not really, when you do CD releases you have a "gold master" which is the final burned CD that the other CDs are copied from. That's the one you use as the official one, as that's the one most people on PC actually have.

If the game had multiple regions (something PC games usually don't), you have multiple executables. But this happens mostly for console games, but again wouldn't be difficult to acquire a specific one for one of the ~4/5 regions there is.

Re third problem, you're probably right about this. But I'd still argue that verifying information after a finding would add more credence to the story itself and cement it better, it wouldn't take anything away from the story (unless it proved that there isn't actually any story).
The "as gateways for the respective core platform services" is the important part here.

The linked page states in its very first sentence:

> The European Commission has today designated, for the first time, six gatekeepers - Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft - under the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
That's a pretty good point actually.
Wouldn't that be OS specific anyway? Like, Windows has no concept of forking processes but instead it uses the CreateProcess function.
Concurrency control in an event loop, by Varda and Robinson
I'd say: "She has said goodbye too many times before."

Because it still has relevance for the present, it should be present perfect.

Unless if course it's about finally quitting, then the past tense makes sense.
Spammers and fraudster are a problem, sure, but the biggest? By what measure?

If we're trying to predict which threats are "big" enough to lead to system failure, the analysis is quite different. In natural systems, parasites tend to fill niches and can persist for lengthy periods, often as long as the host. Or longer.

Think of it as a historically situated evolutionary battle. Thinking over many scenarios, there are many failure modes. One way to tease apart the likely causal threats involves thinking through a lot of scenarios.

Under what conditions you think spam/fraud would (more or less) 'destroy' the open web? And what does that destruction look like to you?
Yes, but it’s lossy compression, so beware.
Show HN: PipeRider – open-source Data Impact Analysis for dbt changes
Hi HN! This is CL and we’re building PipeRider[0]. PipeRider is an open source data impact analysis tool, specifically during pull requests for dbt.

Why? In a previous life I worked on distributed version control systems[1] prior to git, weird data systems like in-postgres REST server with plv8, and building civic tech communities with open data. It always startled me when some new characteristics of data were uncovered, and we had to change some data schema & modeling and then recheck all downstream uses of the data (if we even could).

Fast forward to the modern era of data systems, the data engineering stack is certainly becoming more like the software engineering stack, with dbt as of one of the main game changers. But the engineering practices and tooling~~s~~ aren’t quite there, yet.

We are building the missing pieces of the “data-pipeline-as-code” puzzle, by making pull-requests on data systems more informative and bringing confidence to reviewing and testing the impact of code-change. Here’s an example PR of the campaign finance project[2]. The goal is to augment the CI process to help teams move faster when making data and pipeline logic changes, by being aware of intentional and unintentional downstream models and metrics impact.

As a version control nerd, I personally love semantic-aware diffs that can help inform stakeholders, such as diff formatted law amendment proposals in congressional bills. So, what can we do for complex data systems that are now pull-request-able? One thing is the "lineage diff" - A way to visualize the data models you are adding or making changes to, and help you to make sense of the impact.

Here's another example based on a pull request in the Danish Parliament data[3] dbt project[4] (Note the lineage diff is part of advanced impact analysis which is not open source)

You can try out Lineage Diff in this online viewer[5], by uploading two manifests from your dbt project to see the impact on lineage from your code-changes.

I’d love your feedback!

The indictment alleges Assange was more involved in the exfiltration than just getting some documents handed to him. It alleges he assisted in at least cracking passwords and requesting more documents after the initial contact. Both of these things would be entering a criminal conspiracy if true.

When to not use Rust – post-mortem on wiki converter project
Arguably, the problem here is that you want to do it free of charge. That's the problem in general: adtech aside, people want to discriminate between "humans" and "bots" in order to fairly distribute resources. What should be happening though, is that every user - human and bot alike - cover their resource usage on the margin.

Tangent: there's a reason the browser is/used to be called an user agent. The web was meant to be accessed by automation. When I use a script to browse the web for me with curl, that script/curl is as much my agent as the browser is.

I see how remote attestation and other bot detection/prevention techniques make it cheaper for you to run the service the way you do. But the flip side is, those techniques will get everyone stuck using shitty, anti-ergonomic browsers and apps, whose entire UX is designed to best monetize the average person at every opportunity. In this reality, it wouldn't be possible to even start a service like yours without joining some BigCo that can handle the contractual load of interacting with every other business entity...

(Also need I remind everyone, that while the first customers of remote attestation are the DRM-ed media vendors, the second customer is your bank, and all the other banks.)
Depends on the application. I worked on one where new customers cost upgrades of $8 related to cost of reporting requirements (similar to background checks). Letting 10k bot requests supply stolen identities was incredibly costly.

Similarly, say an e-commerce business releases a limited edition product. Many users won't end up getting it anyway so blocking a few users is usually a much better experience than letting bots buy the product for resale later.

On the other hand, it's absolutely infuriating when blogs/search engines come up with these.
JIT in context of Toyota refers to their philosophical concept of keeping as many parts in transit. I'm not completely sure but I think runtime compilation in software is named after that than the other way around.
Here is the Kumulipo chant it references (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumulipo). I really enjoy that we are getting a bunch of Hawaiian named space things because of the Astronomy that goes on there.
The costs per person are pooled in those cases, similar to insurance, so it's expected that some people will "use what others paid in". That's ok. And sure, you can call it rationing, but whatever model of funding you're thinking of, at some point you'll get to make a decision like "do we spend 5M to save those 6 people or that 1 person?" - it's not a few layers detached.

I wonder, wouldn't it be more of a question of how much later to shut down. Or in other words, how big is the time buffer you get for not being "just in time"? The article suggests (the way I read it, at least) that it is some fundamental time span, but I feel like it's more like half a day?

We plan to have 100s of 3rd party integrations, so need to have a way to monitor this at scale? Would love to get any notes on people whose products integrate with lots of other products & how do they manage this at scale
I wondered what google translate would make of a dead language so I tried those phrases. Neither of them seem even close, so (as I don't speak Latin) I don't know whether the issue lies in google translate, the complexity of what's being portrayed, whether the phrases are too idiomatic, or whether these idioms would require context around them to translate correctly.

"nimium valedīxit": He got too sick

"totiēns valedīxit": He was always well

Edit: Playing around with google translate, "nim valedīxit" translates to He said goodbye. But "valedīxit" translates to Said goodbye. "Nimium" translates to Too many

So somewhere in that complexity it does seem to be that those two words have a meaning that build off eachother for their meaning, but google is considering it literally

If anyone has an explanation for these phrases rather than my guess work, I'd love to hear them!
Because this post has fallen off the front page, so almost no one is reading it to downvote nonsense like this.
We don’t live in an Economics 101 world. Unless you’re talking military airlift or similar.

What does happen is that companies with local agent networks or partners will engage that local partner. NYC is large enough that all sorts of unusual capability exists. If you need to get a bunch of farm animals in midtown, there are in-region companies who can do that.

Companies that don’t have appropriate supply chain ops just aren’t going to effectively do business. If in-region to you means a DC in North Carolina, for example, you’re probably going to get eaten alive by the competition.
UK pulls back from clash with Big Tech over private messaging
Or, a more hopeful view, is that "ad targeting privacy" makes "privacy" be a topic at all in society, and that could be leveraged to acquire more privacy in more areas, as people start to realize what it actually means.

Problem is that "evil marketing companies" is a lot easier for people to believe in, compared to "evil government", especially in places like in the Nordics where people generally have a much more favorably view of their governments than in other countries (for better or worse).
Just-in-time will cost you far more than it will save you. The problem is that when it fails, you judge those failures as "backwards looking one offs" as opposed to a cost that is part and parcel to being JIT.

Factory downtime is the single biggest cost a manufacturing shop can incur. No amount of working capital savings from carrying fewer screws, widgets, and bolts can offset the costs of taking 14 plants down due to penny wise, pound foolish math.
I don't think its lack of suitably qualified people leaving school - I know someone whose parter was responsible for selection of students for entry to one of the UK's top medical schools and they said they really struggled to find fair ways of selecting people given the oversupply of "perfect" candidates for a relatively small number of places.

No, that's past perfect but not passive. Passive voice is where the subject is not the actor. "Mistakes were made" is a classic example. Mistakes are the subject but did not do the verb. Someone made mistakes.

If you are otherwise healthty, doing those exercises 15 to 30 minutes per day will have you pain gone in a week.

And if you get a feeling for which muscles they are targeting you might be able to find variations of those stretches that you can do inbetween while sitring at your computer.
