PCRs being problematic was actually one of the issues policy mechanism in TPM 2.0 was meant to resolve (see "Non-Brittle PCRs (New in 2.0)" in [0]).

Tldr version is that you'd authorize OS manufacturer's kernel signing key to use the TPM key so that each time your OS vendor signs the kernel it's OK for the TPM.

Sadly I don't think I've seen this deployed in the wild.

Ideally “the government” wouldn’t fear the people any more than, say, my computer fears me. It is a tool. It exists to implement my will.

Fear derives from things like our sense of self-preservation, and other concerns that our goals might not be achieved. Since the government ideally has no goal but to serve the people, it should have no fear (perhaps other than the fear of failure).
It's likely a clash between some high level managers, and they just haven't pushed the issue to the point that Satya has to make a decision for the org as a whole.

Do you have a source for that? Windows had dark mode in 2016, macOS in 2018 and iOS/Android in 2019.

No one knows exactly where economy of scale will land us, but much like Moore's law the trend in the data is there. Of course any major change in these industries are going to have knock on effects. We have been automating the steel production process in 1st world countries for years simply due to the cost of human labor. I expect that trend will continue and those plant operators will effectively end up being paid to work on other things on non operation days.

those things aren't mutually exclusive. North Korea is a malnourished country, evidenced by the pretty stark fact that South Koreans are now so much taller that South Korean women are approaching the height of North Korean men.

It's just that if you pump a quarter of your entire GDP into nukes and hackers you can still be decent at it even if your people are starving.
I agree. It's not "here" until it's open-source.

Let’s look at the problem numerically!

Under your proposed scheme, from the time between a branch being issued and resolved around half the subsequent instructions executed by your CPU will be retired and the other half will be discarded. So, all else being equal, performance is 50% compared to non-branching code.

With branch prediction, after a single branch all the speculatively-executed instructions are either retired or discarded. If a branch predictor randomly guesses for each branch, it will achieve 50% accuracy...so, averaged across many branches, 50% of speculatively executed instructions are retired.

So the worst possible branch predictor has equivalent performance to your proposed scheme, and it’s quite a bit simpler to implement (which translates to increased performance). If your branch predictor is any better than blind guessing, it will achieve better performance (by the benchmark of % of correctly-speculated instructions). Given that modern branch predictors achieve 95%+ accuracy on typical workloads, it’s clear why processor designers choose branch prediction rather than executing both pathways.
It can though. Texas still has to get approval from the feds to run the plants in a manner that will increase emission levels beyond EPA limits. Here's the letter [1] ERCOT sent asking for permission.

The bill is opposed by the Hindu American Foundation. They give their rationale for opposing the bill in:

https://www.hinduamerican.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/HAF...

They state:

"We share the admirable goals of protecting civil rights and eliminating all forms of prejudice and discrimination, including based on caste. As such, the question is not whether we deal with allegations of caste discrimination, but how. If and when caste discrimination allegations emerge, they should be adjudicated under the existing protected class of ancestry, just as the state of California did in California Department of Fair Employment Housing v. Cisco Systems, Inc."

They state in https://www.hinduamerican.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cas...

"All of these measures can be traced back to allegations being made by a for-profit, activist entity called Equality Labs which stands to profit from its caste competency training services."

---

I'm inclined to agree with them that caste discrimination is probably already illegal on the basis of ancestry.

(Unfortunately laws themselves don't eliminate prejudice.)
Would you mind expanding why it was tough to get started with Retool?

We are building https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack, a low-code platform to build LLM apps with a goal of making it easy for non-tech people to leverage LLMs in their workflows. Would love to learn about your experience with retool and incorporate some of that feedback into LLMStack.

This is clearly comment bait. If you've done any type of opsec before you know the legal hurdles.

I just wanna tell everyone here who is happy about how this outcome was acheived, never to complain about corporations running your democracy. You can't complain only when the outcome is undesirable. You surrendered "by the people" part if democracy because it suited your views.
Yes, by quitting.
Yes, I'd much rather be subjected to clicking on ads and playing flappy bird than being kept behind a wall and standing in bread lines in the Soviet Union.
Good luck with this. It must be very frustrating to see this happening. Make sure you cross your 't's and dot your 'i's before going to court on this and offer them to settle first assuming you have hard proof that they copied your work product.

Document everything.

They item would be whether or not YC is aware of this and whether or not your application or parts thereof somehow made it to these people. If it did you have a much stronger case, if it did not then you need to document very carefully which bits you believe have been copied, timestamp the works and make sure your lawyer gives you a fair assessment of what to expect in terms of costs and what your claim will be.

I can't look into your walled but depending on how much backing you've got you may be able to hit the pretty hard or you may have to walk away from it, even if you have proof, hard to tell.

As someone who grew up in America (typically ask culture) but also grew up in a very guess culture family, subculture and religion (Utah Mormons), this seems insane to me. I grew up guess culture so I understand it, but ask culture is so much clearer/concise/kinder in my opinion. Less likely to be misunderstood and build resentment, etc.

The wikipedia article states the "Taarof is a ritual politeness that levels the playing field and promotes equality in a hierarchical culture" but the expectation that you repeatedly say no to something that is being offered and that you want out of social nicety seems nonsensical, and I don't see how it promotes equality. Can someone shed some light on this?

I wonder what the chances are that a security researcher would execute a Windows binary they receive over chat from a rando. This isn't even security 101, just common sense at this point.

If anything, I'm sure it gave researchers a chance to play around with the binary in a secure environment. They wouldn't even need to reverse engineer it, since the source code was made public by the attackers. Good guy black hats!

Speaking of, can someone find the exploit in the linked repository? I'm curious what it does, but can't bother with going through all files. TFA could've linked to it, as well as mention how they determined this project is linked to NK hackers...
I wonder if there's any correlation, causation, whatever, between the guesser segment of the population and socially disrupting mental disorders. Autism, ADHD, etc.

Giving it a quick think with the people I know (given that I don't know the mental health status of people without diagnoses) it's an almost perfect split.

A secondary wonder comes in due to the theory of mind deficit that can come with those disorders - thinking, or guessing, that other people have the same information you do even if it's not been communicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind

Maybe sprinkle in some illusion of transparency too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion_of_transparency

Of course there are a billion other variables, just a possible pattern that popped into mind as I was reading the article.

It could just be that people who socialise less in general are more likely to become guessers possibly (Caveman programming: If you ask for something and get rejected you are risking your position in the tribe)
I believe K is still quite popular at various banks.
I really do wonder who they're targeting as a paying customer. What dev/team is all of these things

1. Getting paid to work on ML to such an extent that perf is important (enough)

2. Comfortable leaving the warm confines of python and a huge ecosystem

3. Willing to learn a brand new, closed source, beta maturity language

4. Does inference on CPU

5. Willing to run their inference pipeline behind some FaaS layer because that's how I'm assuming modular plans to make money? The alternative is an honest to goodness licensed compiler and that seems even more farfetched (though I guess not beyond the realm of possibility).

What I wouldn't give to be in the room when they're pitching VCs because they've managed to raise a lot of money for what looks like a TAM of like 5 people.
>>> and have a very low opinion of Mullvad

I have a high opinion of them, one of the few VPN services I would trust not to give in even to governmental pressure. I firmly believe they would shut down their service before the compromised user privacy. That is very commendable
Nice article but there is something strange at how important he things vMVPDs are and unimportant other streaming services are.

That is, I had a fight with my RSS reader over whether or not soccer was interesting and my RSS reader won, which got me (1) reading about Premier League Football, (2) watching free games on OTA TV, (3) getting a Peacock subscription (my first streaming subscription), and (4) wondering about getting an Apple TV subscription to get Major League Soccer.

Peacock is cheap and it's not hard to justify to catch an extra game every weekend, but no way am I going to get a Fubo.TV subscription that costs 10x and I'd feel like a fool if I was paying big money to get a stream of my local network affiliates I can get for free OTA and also funding CNN, Fox News, and other channels I think are toxic.
More than I get paid at my actual job which really pisses me off.
Followr AI – Social Media Management Tool
The LA Times' findings just take us full circle back to my original point. I thought keeping plastic bags off our beaches (and other environments) was supposed to be the primary benefit of the ban.
Hello everyone!

I’m co-founder of Reblox Solutions, a software factory that develops custom projects for clients. Along with my partners, we got tired of making products for others, and some months ago we focused on making a product 100% ours.

With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, we noticed a significant lack of serious tools for managing social media. As a result, we created Followr.ai, an AI-based social media management platform designed to help businesses and individuals effectively manage their accounts.

Here is what you can do with Followr.ai:

* Create relevant and fast content with AI tools
* Schedule and automatically post for you
* Collaborate with your team on the same content calendar * Analyze your social media with metrics
* Respond to comments and DMs with AI assistance

To allow people to test the platform, we offer a limited free version and then once they want to subscribe to one of the plans, they have a 7-day free trial where they have access to all the functionalities of the plan before we start charging them (they can unsubscribe at any time).

For the support part, we decided to integrate it with Intercom where there is currently only one person behind responding to queries (hopefully we will grow and be able to expand the support team).

For sales and support video calls, we integrated it with Calendly.

Please try it out and let me know if you have any feedback, I will really appreciate it . I'm also happy to take any other technical questions you may have.
Isn't it simply an English "word" which is very popular?
It's not a position, it's a simple question. Given that I can get a lot of information out of a computer to which I have physical access with only middling forensic skills, I'm inclined to think that the police can do at least as well if they're sufficiently motivated.

I'm curious what corruption means here.

From what I can tell, a 10x return over 75 years is about a 3% annualized return. That's not a tremendous return during the Zero interest rate phenomena. It's almost a money loser in today's environment.

I do understand the concern about not being able to repurpose the parking spaces, etc. but somehow having been involved in repurposing discussions, I seriously doubt Chicago "Motorists" will ever let a parking space be repurposed into anything else.

Are there democracies now? Yes.

Do they have the goal you describe? No.

Will they ever? Very unlikely, for reasons I listed.

Does that make them democracies? If you say they are not democracies then I'm calling No True Scotsman.

We have 2000 years of history where the most vocal proponents of democracy deliberately restricted full citizenship from all its population.

It's therefore hard for me to think your goal is a core part of democracy.
Given the crazy shit the CIA has been documented to get up to, and the fact that the NSA has similar lack of oversight of agents in the field, why do you think that there isn't any monetizing on ransomware going on?

This video is definitely corny. (I'm in it.) This is intended as an extremely accessible introduction to Bun, definitely not targeted at the HN crowd. I think we really just wanted to make something with some production value to reflect the fact that Bun itself is post-1.0 and more stable/polished.

The two camera thing is a classic trick that lets you add some visual interest. Basically you're cutting between two angles. And you can only be looking directly at one camera at a time so you won't be looking into the lens for one of the two shots.
It's putting a packet through a 150w CPU like weighing a brick is using using a 500 lb scale. I.e. just because it can do that much and you're using that device doesn't mean it's the relevant number to look at. When you're not pushing things it'll be near idle wattage, when you are pushing things like mad it'll be around <4 core wattage (which will still be a lot less than 150W) in this workload. The important thing is it's a CPU which has a great single thread performance and, as a result, it has a high peak multicore wattage you won't actually care about.

Overall I'd bet all of the NICs and transceivers are the majority of the power usage in a given year.

Then I register with ERCOT... and profit. They seem to have passed a few bothersome "bills" to thwart our attempts at being a giant resistor though. Also, so they don't seem to specify any efficiency rating for the whole endeavor. Perhaps I can literally install a giant power resistor + a few GPUs, claim 75 MW, turn it all off and then head to the bank?
Most of us don't run Windows, this is HACKER News not PEBKAC News.
I feel like these are added dimensions beyond existing rating systems but I haven't found a good way to capture the data or communicate it.

At a high level what I really want is two ratings: Global rating and does this deliver what it promised. A greasy spoon is objectively not a good restaurant but it scratches an itch and you have certain relatively low expectations of it so in the context of greasy spoons generally I might rate the restaurant 5 stars even if globally I'd give it two stars.

As you say with Fast X: objectively it is not a good movie but it absolutely delivers what it promised. People who like that movie series will be pleased with it so in that context it deserves a positive rating.

As a follow-on I want to tell the system about the things I like + the things I hate. Then I want the system to give more weight to ratings from others who both like and hate the same things. I honestly don't care if critics or audiences liked the movie... I want to know if people who in some way think like me enjoyed it.
In my case it was the city. I'm not sure if the providers pay for access or is it free (paid for by taxes).

I personally really like https://kit.svelte.dev. One of SvelteKit's philosophies is "use the platform." So it sticks close to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and adds enhancements where it makes sense. Also the SvelteKit community is pretty active and helpful.

The base SvelteKit skeleton project provides a minimal site using best practices so you can get started right away on the unique features of your app. You don't have to use any of SvelteKit's extra enhancements, but they are designed to cut down the boilerplate almost every project needs.

I have built several small projects with SvelteKit. Here is one of my latest projects, built in an afternoon or two (the biggest feature is hidden away):

- https://github.com/Leftium/transform/commits/main

- https://tt.leftium.com/

---

On the other hand, there is merit in using tech you are already proficient with. (StackOverflow uses .net because that's what the devs were familiar with.) It is possible to use PHP/Python/Django for the backend and just use SvelteKit on the frontend.

Very nice project, not a tool I would use (I rarely use Javascript) but I like the design philosophy behind it, and the focus on performance and simplicity.

Or the CCP also got its eyes on Hawai. That wouldn't be a stretch given the British took over islands even closer to China than Hawai is to the US.
Probably, but again K is a language from 1993. I think closed-source languages are relics from a time it was more normal and some are so established they're still accepted, but new closed-source languages feel out of touch. Can you think of any new ones that caught on? I really can't to be honest!
What makes it unique is the name recognition. It wasn't the first project to use proof of work, and it wasn't the last either.
I pretty much agree with all that.

An annuity or two isn't bad. I'll have one through a long-ago DB pension and another through a charitable trust that wasn't really a great financial "deal" but I wanted to donate and it provides another income stream. But they're pretty much just nice add-ons (in addition to social security of course).

I'm not against annuities, including DB pensions. I just don't think (honestly funded) DB pensions are this fantastic benefit that's been yanked away from people who could have taken the same amount of money and invested it otherwise.
"people on this site" consists of thousands of people, including you, with a variety of opinions, and not everyone comments on every subject. You're basically complaining that not everyone believes the same thing.
BMW in particular, and german carmakers as a whole are in for a rough decade. Declining quality and increasing competition will pose the kind of risks not even eu protectionism can shield them from.

One such risk is china. German carmakers desperately need new markets and china is one of them. But germany and the eu cant bully china and they will want access to european markets in return. And what i am reading and hearing is that chinese ev carmakers are rather competitive.
