The big advantage is that it saves two levels of indentation and a lot of repeated pattern matching.

def equal?(x,y) when x == y do
true
end
def equal?(_,_), do: false

would be equivalent to

def equal?(x,y) do
case {x,y} do
{x,y} when x == y ->
true
_ ->
false
end
end

It's also handy in places like GenServers, where from a reading perspective clustering the hooks and their helper functions together is far more readable than the alternative.

def handle_call(:msg1,_from,_state) do
helper1()
helper2()
etc...
end

def helper1(), do: 1
def helper2(), do: 2

def handle_call(:msg2,_from,_state), do: :err

Is a lot better than

def handle_call(msg,_from,_state) do
case {msg, _from, _state} do
{:msg1,_from,_state} ->
helper1()
helper2()
etc...
{:msg2,_from,_state} -> :err
end
end
def helper1(), do: 1
def helper2(), do: 2

Especially remembering that you'll likely have a lot more than 2 message callbacks.
It makes these connections even when all the things mentioned in the official "How to stop Firefox from making automatic connections"[1] are disabled. This includes the captive portal detection you allude to.

Regardless:

The browser asks me if I allow it to make these connections.

I tell it in unmistakable and irrevocable terms that I do not.

The browser makes these connections anyway.

The problem was never the connections or the contents of the data stream. You were aware of this before posting your comment, and yet you commented anyway. You are a troll.

Conservatives hate the administrative state and want to destroy it. They would prefer the free market solve all problems instead of regulators like the SEC or FTC or EPA.

The Federalist Society has been workshopping this fringe theory that Congress isn't allowed to delegate enforcement decisions to federal agencies and that administrative judges are somehow unconstitutional. This was an unsuccessful (!) argument against the New Deal, but now thanks to a far-right Supreme Court it's a live issue again.

Can you imagine if Congress had to vote on whether to punish Intuit for misleading ads? It would obviously result in the effective end of entire categories of regulation.
I have found through experience in explaining the utility grid problem to those that have little or no knowledge of the topic to start simply with a visual mathematical equation. Everyone understands basic math right?

Today we have:

Generation = Consumption

If generation fails, regardless of the reason, consumption fails as well. As some know, over consumption can cause generation failure and this is the finite juggle we read daily in the Summer from places such as TX and CA but this impact will be expanding globally year over year as electrical demand grows.

Now consider:

Generation + Storage = Consumption

Using a buffer, a computing concept applied to the energy sector, would allow for a place to debit/credit energy at will within the limits of the system regardless of consumption. In time any and all generation systems will feed into storage mechanisms which shifts the system reliability to the storage vectors away from today's generation focus. This concept is extremely big picture and I mentioned nothing about renewables as the current core electrical grid design is unsustainable. Those with their thinking cap on will realize also that the buffer is nothing more than a unit of consumption itself that is capable of returning a portion of what it held minus efficiency round trip losses.

Looking at it as math we can now apply logic as such

((Generation0 + Generation1 + GenerationN) + (Storage0 + Storage1 + StorageN)) = Consumption

As an analogous computer comparison that some here can certainly relate to, I fall back to those which have experienced the relief when a load balancer was introduced into their tech stack. Failure is definitely still possible but the core architectural design change allows to plan and compensate for that failure.

One thing is certain it will likely get worse before it gets better as there are many people talking about the problem and significantly less working toward a solution.

How do I run this/see the results? I'm a little lost.
Makes sense to me. Is a mortgage officer not a gatekeeper of the bank's capital?
Python is great in DL, so any chance we'll see a combination of neural nets and computer algebra in a new sympy?
> This could be implemented without any vendor keys. You associate the user's own key with the user's account.

But how would you bootstrap this? How do you make sure the initial key was actually created in the secure exceution environment and not created by MITM malware running on the main application processor?

If this was that easy, FIDO authenticators wouldn't need attestation either.

> That's assuming it matters at that point. The attacker doesn't care if you revoke the keys after they steal your money.

If attacking a single device costs a few millions, it definitely does matter, since you'd need to expend that effort every single time (and you'd be racing against time, since the legitimate owner of the device can always report it as stolen and have it revoked for transaction confirmation, transfer their funds to another wallet etc.)

> And is likely to happen in the future, so any design that makes the assumption that it will not happen is clearly flawed.

How does some implementations falling apart imply all possible implementations being insecure? Smartcards are an application of trusted computing too, and there have been no successful breaches there to my knowledge. The fact that the manufacturers specialize in security, not in general-purpose computing like Intel and only occasionally dabble in security, probably helps.
hi alex and ben! in before HN downvotes me
You know, I hate privacy-intrusive ads...but if a business would present me with an honest option to click on - "Show me your best guess what you think I want to buy!" - I would enjoy clicking on it. When I want. Because I do want to shop, and I do want to buy. I just hate being monitored in secret and nudged in secret to influence my behaviour against my own will. Let me shop - be transparent about your AI recommendations, and I might even buy the suggestion. Just stay away from the shady stuff.
"Dreams" kind of sounds like some AI thing, which I feared at first. This is much better.
All good questions - and every person has different needs.

The fact is each potential adopter either needs to go through and comb over the compatibility page (not what I would expect with a drop-in replacement); or just try and see if it works, and be surprised later if they run into an unimplemented module because they were operating under an incorrect assumption.
Er, I'm way out of touch with modern c++, what implementation do you buy? Borland used to have tons of little helpers and utils to smooth over some rough edges.

I'd imagine ms vc++ has tons of stuff to support this?

Again, I haven't used a commercial compiler in a while. But that seems like really standard stuff you get with them, yeah?
They convince themselves that with their market power, they'll be able to absorb the cost of any settlement... which has been the case for a while now

Why are you preoccupied with how someone should “just admit it”? (You don't have to answer that. I'm rephrasing it.)

My confessional is where?

Again, your continued interest in people's supposed character rather than their health outcomes is revealing.

> And, yes, I'm laughing at the fact that you think doctor 1 (no financial gain for his advice) is dumb, but doctor 2 (much financial gain for prescribing the drug) is the one who has it all figured out.

I haven't said that the first doctor is wrong. But I suspect that you have failed at reading user handles...
And yet you can't point to any evidence of Israel actually fighting ISIS, just your word...

... and supposedly I'm a bigot if I show you otherwise. Not cool, I'm done here.
Perhaps a joke, but it's a legitimate concern of a very complex topic. U.S. society has gone through a golden era of accepting that weight is often outside of people's control. All of us are addicted to something, it's just that people who are overweight were forced to wear their addictions for everyone to see and laugh at. And fact of the matter is, some people would happily choose to be overweight, just like some would choose to be skinny. Not all of our life choices have to be "perfect" (with respect to "ideal" health, which is its own complex set of variables). Just as some people like yourself have a range of desires for their partners. That's all healthy and normal diversity that we should celebrate.

But when we live in a world where people can easily choose what weight they want to be, will society revert to ostrasizing those that choose to live outside the "norm"? Or will this soceital shift persist. I certainly hope for the latter, but there is a genuine concern here.

Bioshock actually does a good job exploring this dystopia. In that world a chemical know as Adam allows, amongst other things, a whole host of cosmetic surgeries that were not possible before. Now everyone can be "beautiful". Just like these drugs will enable people to be

To quote the game:
> With genetic modifications, beauty is no longer a goal or even a virtue, it is a moral obligation. Do we force the healthy to live with the contagious? Do we mix the criminal with the law abiding? Then why are the plain allowed to mingle with the fair?!

>with science you can count on one thing: you’ll die before you know the fundamental truth

Now that’s a hilariously ironic take within a comment declaring religious faiths (belief absent evidence, meaning it’s impossible to “know its true”) superiority.

That science tries not to deal in absolutes is a feature, not a bug. You’re looking at the pursuit of knowledge from an entirely incorrect perspective.
Sounds like a great project idea to make a toy demo of this direction you'd like to see. Maybe comparable to https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter15... and https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/blob/main/docs/chapter8.... which are a few hundred lines of Lisp each, but do enough to be interesting.
Tree Of Thought can do pretty well at Sudoku, apparently: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.08291
> For Windows, binary compatibility with 3rd party apps is extremely important, at least for the apps that aren't browsers running JavaScript, so, what Qualcomm could aim to do is to optimize the heck of their ARM offerings for x86 emulation/JITing, and efficient JavaScript execution, more or less what Apple did.

I found this remark by HN user dwaite very informative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37327938

TL;DR emulated x86-32 performance on ARM is poor, and is going to stay poor because of the memory model. Whether this strategy is going to be successful largely depends on how important/prevalent legacy 32bit apps are.
Various forms of malaria have been already described in the works of Hippocrates, more than 2400 years ago, and from them it appears to have been one of the most frequent infectious diseases in ancient Greece, certainly the most frequent among those that could have serious consequences, including death.

While the role played by mosquitos was not known, one of the ancient theories about the cause of such infectious diseases (which was described by Varro) was not essentially different from modern theories. It supposed that the wind brings from the swamps a large number of small animals, which are so small that they cannot be seen, and which enter the human body causing the disease. Therefore the proximity of swamps should be avoided, to avoid the diseases.
Off the back of Joel's blog posts I convinced my employer to go with FogCreek CoPilot (remote control / remote assist software), and it was such a disappointment; after all the blog posts about how to Do Software Right(tm) I has raised my expectations that the result of all this process and care would surely be as good as anything could reasonably be. It had few features, was unreliable and slow from the UK, and comparatively expensive.

It's a long time ago so I can't remember the details, but it's stuck with me for ~15 years as a lesson in not believing the hype, and ... I dunno, you can't procedure your way into building amazing things, maybe? Post-hoc looking back from the outside, FogCreek building somewhat generic tools for developers seems very navel-gazing like they didn't have a burningly compelling idea (such as StackOverflow was) and you can't add more private offices unto business/market success.
interesting but looks rather chatty;

also completely ignores timing/traffic correlation attacks which are no longer theoretical anymore - and chattiness would likely make them more effective
I don't think it's a rebuttal. I don't think it's a "but"; it appears to be an "and". The implication is a warning for people who may look to an alternative to inuit based on this - stay away from H&R Block as well. No one said anything about inuit not being punished.
I am very aware of the definition of zero-cost.

We're talking about the comparison between using an abstraction vs not using an abstraction.

When I said "doesn't have a runtime cost", I meant "the abstraction doesn't have a runtime cost compared to not using the abstraction".

If you want your computer to do anything useful, then you have to write code, and that code has a runtime cost.

That runtime cost is unavoidable, it is a simple necessity of the computer doing useful work, regardless of whether you use an abstraction or not.

Whenever you create or use an abstraction, you do a cost-benefit analysis in your head: "does this abstraction provide enough value to justify the EXTRA cost of the abstraction?"

But if there is no extra cost, then the abstraction is free, it is truly zero cost, because the code needed to be written no matter what, and the abstraction is the same speed as not using the abstraction. So there is no cost-benefit analysis, because the abstraction is always worth it.
Fully agreed with the gist of your point...

...with the addendum that it's still possible to dislike the silliness of the prequels and the new trilogy, while embracing the silliness of the OT. Rose-tinted glasses? You betcha! The OT meant the world to me when I was young.

I like Rey though. I think the accusations of her being a Mary Sue are mysogynistic -- isn't Luke's journey in the OT essentially the same? -- as is some of the backlash against the new trilogy. Which I also find boring, but not because the main characters are women or whatever.

What undid the new trilogy, in my opinion, was a couple of things:

- As a reaction against the worst excesses of the prequels, they instead stayed too close to the OT, especially during the serviceable but uninspired The Force Awakens, basically a remake of A New Hope.

- Then, it's clear JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson didn't see eye to eye (or their creative teams didn't, same thing), and so the rest of the new trilogy is essentially a flamewar between the two, with each saying "what happened before didn't matter, THIS is what matters now!" and undoing what the other did. Which was... embarrassing. Again, the OT was also full of retcons -- e.g. it's obvious Leia wasn't Luke's sister in Episode IV -- but at least it wasn't a glorified flamewar of writers actively undoing what others before had done.
We looked at FogBugz as a replacement for RT, but it had some severely opinionated limitation on release flow/version numbers that meant it didn't fit our existing product releases, let alone our future plans. (I think we were pretty interested in it for the UI and the dynamic velocity modelling? But the presentation/demo pretty much ended with the "so don't do that" discussion :-)
Apple pulls in hundreds of millions per day, I'd think that a lot of them should be going to AI if they want to remain relevant.. it's not hard to imagine Google, Facebook, or maybe even a seriously retooled Microsoft coming out with an earbud that acts as a smart assistant and pretty much replaces the modern smartphone
Well yes to all that. I still don't see the problem. An async function isn't really an async function, it's a sync function that returns a future. Would it be better if all that was manual? I've done quite a bit of stuff using manual async traits and it's painful and I highly value the syntax sugar that async brings. That said, I certainly don't want some executor running quietly behind the scenes doing async stuff for me without my explicit and full control. If I want to manually poll a future, that's for me to decide.
We are also in need of sand for concrete. Can we not crush the rock until suitable for concrete and then entomb it in buildings and structures?
web proxies completely bypass any protection offered by HTTPS as they act as a true man-in-the-middle and place requests on behalf of the user. Unlike traditional proxies, web proxies are entirely web based and use a web interface so literally all the data flows through the server side code of the web proxy.
You are essentially noting your own idea doesn't make sense. You can't identify any profit motive changing, because the motive wasn't profit.

No one got rich off from malaria vaccine development. As the article mentions, the funding was the Gates foundation. A charity gave away money to make it happen.
I’m not literally suggesting that as the solution, I’m being illustrative. It doesn’t have to be an impossible to solve problem as they’ve presented it to be.
I don’t think this is necessarily a question of money. The U.S. eradicated malaria within the last 75 years and it seems like it was a pretty massive undertaking. If people at the time could developed a vaccine, I’m sure they would have.
This argument comes up on HN frequently but doesn't seem particularly compelling to me.

We have laws and regulations around things like noise, parking, etc which apply equally to homeowners, long term renters, short term renters, guests, contractors, etc.

Does having a neighbor who rents their place on Airbnb really change your life compared to a neighbor who has frequent social gatherings or has a large family or works night shift? It seems like the correct solution here is to improve action by parking enforcement, towing companies, building security, HOA or police depending on the exact issue and severity, rather than take away the right of people to rent out their place.
But would you need the captain to get lon/lat coordinates and raise an alarm?

You’d video the SOS signal and upload the geotagged movie to Twitter.
That sounds plausible to me, thanks for the hint.
It is year 2035. TypeScript type system gained conscious.
Further, I think local laws and ordnances like this (if this carries outside of NYC) will disincentivize the view that housing is an investment vehicle and shift the view to it being a consumable.

The proliferation of short term rentals has had negative effects on housing affordability across the country, so anything that helps pop this bubble is a net benefit to new homeowners. I couldn't care less about existing homeowners and declining property values in the face of increasing supply because owning your housing should be expensive, but not something that's unreachable with unsustainable asset inflation without similar real wage increases.
But in terms of using those platforms - you likely log into your bank via a chrome-based browser or Edge.

Even if not, you are still running a browser on their platform. Why not scrape financial information from another source such as disk storage or by monitoring network/crypto API?

If the platform vendor turns malicious, why presuppose they will only alter the behavior with respect to their own apps?
Right, it's basically an annuity.

I actually know which one he is talking about, but since he didn't call it out, I won't either (maybe they like it quiet).

But what happened was that Joel freaked a bit out over some of the drama on the Business of Software forums and shuttered them, in spite of them being very popular and having a huge community - another one of those weird decisions. In an alternate timeline, they would have been HN.
Author here. No, OpenBSD's `pf` is not affected.
Ahah, that's awesome. Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions about Replicate! Happy to help.
Are you asking what the full exploit chain is here specifically? Because that obviously hasn't been written up yet.

But for the last one, it's the difference between https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i... (parser vulnerability leading to not-really arbitrary code execution and memory corruption) and https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2022/03/forcedentry-s... (logic errors leading to a sandbox escape) Notably, the sandbox escape itself did not do anything that would have been prevented by a memory safe language.

The security model of a sandboxed process is that even full arbitrary code execution cannot do anything the sandbox says the process cannot do, and the process the parsers run in is sandboxed to only be able to communicate to other processes through very limited interfaces that have no access to network or disk.
I'm super skeptical of the viability, much less the desirability, of language VM specific CI and hosting services..

Feels like an acquisition by Cloudflare/Vercel is a more likely exit scenario.. But then if we get an HHVM repeat and most of the benefits are just introduced into Node proper what's the real value to the aquirer? Aqui-hire? Deno has raised at least $25m though, and bun $7m..

I guess most startups fail so maybe there is just no answer.
Nevertheless a bit bold to call that a discovery? Next up, a discovery that humans can't jump to the moon? "We've tried, really hard! And as we learned in multiple expeditions, contrary to popular belief not even during an eclipse!"

There's probably some intermediate draft version where it all made sense and perhaps each of the changes that led from there to the eventual outcome appear perfectly sensible when looked at from the right angle. But none of that will make the end result any better.
If I may take a guess, your previous comment may be getting downvoted because people misread it as fat-shaming the U.S. (which is one of the world's leaders when it comes to being overweight). That's definitely how I read it the first time, having forgotten the kerfuffle the EU went through with the COVID vaccine.

Q4_0 is often mentioned as being the "tried and true" quantization level to try first. I've heard folks have had good results with 3-bit quantization (Q3_K_M) as well
Many already come with that. (I am not aware of which models though. Toyota should have it in many.)

As a rule of thumb you could consider "cars which are planned as vehicles that could be lent for longer periods of time": it is foreseen that if the client stops paying for the subscription, the car is remotely disabled.
