> He is anti-choice ... he would not implement a federal ban

As Americans have a lot of freedom to choose which state they live in, I don't see how this can possibly be described as "anti-choice". Being anti-choice would mean implementing a federal ban.

Abortion bans aren't about religious authority or "anti-individualism", even though most religions are against abortion. They exist because at some point the foetus transitions to become a person who themselves must have basic rights defended by the government and (possibly religious) morality. At that point the choice is by definition not an individual choice because it controls the baby's life, and the baby is an individual.

That's why it's totally normal for even very secular countries to have abortion bans in place after a certain number of weeks.

> This is Plato's Noble lie [3] and fundamentally anti-individualist.

You are misrepresenting his point very badly here and it feels deliberate. Ramaswamy isn't saying he opposes secularism. He isn't even passing opinion on the phenomenon in question. The statements you quoted are phrased as neutral observation. He's arguing that this outcome appears to be inevitable regardless of what he or anyone else personally wants.
The Thames is 215 miles long and while there are portions that are 100% wrapped in civilisation I think there are areas in both the tidal and non-tidal sections that are totally wild.

Obviously experimental archaeologists have to try and ignore airplanes, plastic bag waste, and their own good health and shiny teeth but I think this kind of activity is amazing.

Hey everyone,

I got tired of disabling the Privacy Sandbox settings on all of my machines, for every single Chrome profile, so I made a quick extension to keep these settings off.

> [...] there would basically be only two Huffman codes, 0 for repeating the last symbol as much times as possible, and 1 for EOB it might even be the other way around.

You are correct. More generally EOB won't be the lexicographically last symbol if there are length codes used only once in given block. But it's already possible that the Huffman tree was not optimal anyway, so such cases are safe to ignore as we can rely on the fallback.

> The overhead of looking for deflate blocks can actually be made arbitrarily small by simply increasing the chunk size because you only have to check the first ~64 kiB of the chunk for a valid start position.

But it still means that you need to probe all 2^19 positions. The fact that such probing can be made efficient surprised me the most. After reading your paper (especially the Table 1), it seems that rejecting valid trees with unused symbols were the defining factor, given that allowing them will increase false positives by at least 8 orders of magnitude.

> [...] the idea proposed by pugz was to use a dummy 16-bit LZ77 window initialized with unique IDs.

Unique IDs per block, right? I also assume there is some encoding for definitive literals (okay if only the standard DEFLATE is supported), and that second pass has to be serialized so it should make heavy use of gather instructions for performance (another reason that it didn't come to my mind at that time). Still in awe, to be honest.

Ask HN: Isn't it hard to find a programmer's job that is a bit greener?
How do you really evaluate how green is your developer's job?

Avoiding jobs related to standard aviation or oil is one thing, but software is so diverse and complex, which means you have to inspect the clients of a company to evaluate how green it is.

I would also be quite interested in anything related to non-obsolescent, long term, lightweight software practices, to fight the good old Law of Wirth, but it seems like the industry is barely scratching the surface of that problem, and it's such a large problem that I don't know if it's actually a problem of just removing software entirely where it's possible.

I don't even know if there exists some manual or standard practice to write "green" software.
No offense, but you are questioning google just now? Like... 2012 was the year to question Google about shady practices. Like bundling Chrome with other software and installing it without user agreements. But it's just an example among many.
Would it no be comparable to "seeing" the first black hole long after predicting them? AFAIK we knew black holes exists long before we finally were able to observe them. (And we still dont see them, just their effects).

Still not sure if thats what the article meant, just curious.

I was replying to someone asking how I got my "classic" 1990s-era Amiga screenshots to look so fancy. The built in Amiga AGA chipset is pretty limited by today's standards and gets slower/uses more memory the higher you push the resolution and colour depth. Most classic Amigas run on low-res limited colour screens - the default is 640x256 in 4 colours. On an 68030-accelerated Amiga I could just about push it to 800x600 in 256 colours, but it was very sluggish.

I now have a Vampire Accelerator card[1] which adds a much faster CPU core, along with an embedded graphics chipset, HDMI output, networking, SD card interface and other nice things. The Vampire "graphics card" is driven through the AmigaOS's support for "ReTargetable Graphics" (RTG). You can read about the setup and installation on my site[2].

My vintage 1992 A1200 is running a hacked together OS, using a base of "CoffinOS" which is a distribution of AmigaOS favoured by Vampire accelerator users. It consists of a classic AmigaOS 3.x installation along with all the Vampire-specific drivers, utilities, games and other things all ready to go out of the box. Because it ships copyrighted AmigaOS binaries and other things that may not be 100% legal to redistribute (and the Amiga scene in general is a litigious mess), I won't link to it but it's easy enough to find[3].

On top of this, I have installed various components from Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.2, so it's a sort of mash-up of two different distributions of AmigaOS. To get my fancy looking icons, I used the "Faenza" icon set in PNG format.

Hope that clears it up a bit!

[1] There are loads of accelerator options now for classic Amigas that add faster processors, networking, graphics and other cool things. There are some others mentioned in this thread like the TerribleFire series of accelerators, and the PiStorm accelerator based around a Raspberry PI is also proving a very popular and full-featured option.

[2] https://www.markround.com/blog/2020/07/21/apollo-vampire-ami...

[3] Side note - Apollo Accelerators (the makers of the Vampire) are working on ApolloOS which is a legally clean distribution of the open-source AmigaOS clone, AROS. This is what you'll get (and is officially supported) if you buy a new Vampire card or stand-alone Vampire V4 system although CoffinOS is still being developed and distributed by a mystery team.
I have zigbee and wifi smart home based on Home Assistant, zigbee2mqtt and ESP Home. It is completely local, no internet required and works perfectly. The automation is done in Node Red. If I need to do some action from the internet, I do it through wireguard VPN (one click on my Android phone).

I especially like that zigbee is not even able to make connections to the internet itself. I "own" the devices.

I understand that VPNs are hard for average users, but centralised, potentially insecure server infrastructures, generally situated in China, pose a significant security concern.

> the system did what it was designed to do, i.e. fail safely when it receives data that it can't process

I am no expert in air traffic control systems, but in a case like this, wouldn't it be better to simply reject the incorrect data and send a warning or something similar?
If it was forward looking, rather than retroactive then it would at least mean that chip manufacturers wouldn't be able to sell their undocumented/unsupported crap because all the buyers have to have it?

If there are no buyers then their attitude should change.
And checking for ID collisions is generally extremely easy, both in code and compute.

And the ID collision was in user data which the air traffic system has to continuously accept during operations.

And it sounds like that data breaks down into individual flight plans - so it might be trivial to reject just one flight plan, and allow the rest to proceed.

BUT...doubtless the UK's flight control software came out of some multi-billion-pound government boondoggle. So we should be grateful that it doesn't crash planes into each other, or send innocent postal workers to jail for theft, and overlook these sorts of failures.
I think it is a privacy win. Every now and then, probably once every few months, I come across a website on Firefox where I have to disable enhanced tracking protection.

You’re misunderstanding. There’s been frustration amongst macOS power users about the proliferation of Electron apps which are worse than native apps in every regard, from performance to user interface. Native apps are no longer the norm, but there are many people who fervently prefer them and avoid Electron apps at all costs, so developers using native technologies have started making it clear from the start how their apps are built.

Google CEL – Common Expression Language Sandbox
I worked in safety-critical ATC projects in engineering and management positions (systems, quality and compliance engineering) for a decade. ATC systems are supposed to not fail, even under adverse conditions. Where high availability is required for safety reasons, redundant architectures is one of the options. Apparently the "backup system" was conceived for this purpose. According to the report (page 17) the responsible subsystem suffered from a "critical exception [..] that triggers the conditions that led to the incident", which let both the primary and backup system fail, and has now apparently been fixed. So obviously the system was not supposed to fail on receiving wrong or suspicious flight plan data, and it was apparently pure luck that no such data arrived for five years. To claim that the subsystem (consisting of the primary and backup system) "safely failed" indicates significant gaps in safety management (either faulty safety analyses, faulty specifications, or faulty configuration or software). The report suggests that critical omissions occured at several levels.

I think it's more useful if you read it from the perspective of "how do I hang onto this rocket ship and survive?". Of course, then the advice applies to very few people but it does become more useful.

Not really convinced either way though. Much of this feels like backwards-facing advice, things that only make sense when you already know what you're doing, and very surface level.

The "tying it all together" section really demonstrates this.

The truth is, all the most valuable skills she's picked up are likely to have been implicit from being in an incredible environment in a company growing really fast around other great people.

Though in fairness, I think that >99% of people cannot articulate their growth path or process and strategy and they would not be believable even if they could, so in that regard, she is par for the course.

If there's two waypoint markers that are named the same, how did the flight control and/or plane software know which one is being referred? Assuming closest, it would have had to special case for it already, no?

Yeah, this is essentially how finetuned models work. If you fine tune stablediffusion to produce anime images, it might forget how to produce images in any other style. But it will become much better at anime images than the base model. If anime images are the art style you’re after, this is a good trade. Same with fine tuning LLMs for SQL or whatever.

True.

By "interoperability" I mean being able to have any client connect to any server without discrimination.

Remote attestation violates this by enumerating approved clients and cryptographically vefifying them.

"Adversarial interoperability" is an even more interesting concept.
