Not at all, considering that coincidentally just yesterday I was having an HN discussion on an unrelated topic about DJ Bernstein, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_J._Bernstein#Cryptograp....

You're right though, I guess I didn't mean to say that NSA would give up on or would not want back doors into widely deployed crypto algorithms, but even with Dual_EC_DRBG the suspicions were widely known and discussed before it was a NIST standard (i.e. I guess you could say it was a conspiracy, but it wasn't really a secret conspiracy), and the standard was withdrawn in 2014.
Paint's journey has been so weird. It was going to be replaced by Paint 3D, made an optional component, and now it's getting updates I would have killed to have 20 years ago. But it's been such a useful and enduring tool because of both its ubiquity and its simplicity, so I hope the upcoming changes will be as minimalist as those of the past.
I wonder when military spy satellites will be as cheap as munitions or flying drones. This seems like the only countermeasure to anti-satellite weaponry. If a country can just launch a new one in less than a day, they will have a huge advantage. At least until Kessler syndrome sets in.

Agreed! That's the beauty of it!
I've admired Ron's designs for a long time, especially his Conan and Alien work, and have to thank you for confirming what I sort-of wondered about.

Designing an object in a fantasy world does seem to resemble building a great character that 90% invisible to the audience.

> The first crate, foo, is in the 2024 edition, and defines a trait with a single generic method. The second crate, bar, is in the 2021 edition, depends on foo, and implements that trait for its own type.

I wasn’t aware that an early edition of rust can reference crates for a later edition. It doesn’t seem that terrible to prohibit this (Probably some very good reason to counter this though!). Editions give us the privilege of not having to constantly update crates that don’t really need to be changed whenever a new rust version comes out. If I do end up making changes to my crate and updating my dependencies then I don’t see it as such a pain to update the Rust Edition of my crate if said dependencies also happen to use a later edition.

I do, however, see one downside to this though and experienced it first hand in c# .net standard where it was way better to use the earliest version possible of .net standard for your library to maximise compatibility with things that use it. No incentive to use a later standard and therefore there was stagnation. May not be applicable because you normally distribute compiled binaries but food for thought.
While I agree in general, a good quality burr grinder is surprisingly consistent. I'm not sure you could reliably get distinct results one notch apart, but at a given notch you will have a very narrow spread in grain sizes and a couple notches apart they will be visually distinct. James Hoffman has some videos comparing several cheap and expensive grinders, including looking closely at the grain size, and you can see the difference clearly.
Any details of what the "tripwire" consisted of with at least some greater specificity?

> It's not "naturally-occurring" if you have to distill it out of sea salt or celery juice.

Blame the US gov, they are the ones that decided using celery salt as your source of nitrates meant you "didn't add any nitrates". Maybe if our government was functional enough to not regularly shutdown from inaction, we would have an easier time improving and updating food labeling requirements.
What protection against jailbreaking did they add?
Actually, no. A pilot might punch from a perfectly flyable aircraft that ran out of fuel and can't be glided in due to terrain. Or a plane that has no propulsion for other reasons. They might even punch from a plane with some fuel but damage that precludes landing--if they're over civilization they might point it into nowhere and punch so they come down over civilization.
It's broken for me in the same way on iOS 16.
Another reason I'm deprecating Gmail. I'll keep it around awhile, but it's already not my main email provider. I paid for ProtonMail early on and will probably pay for it again at some point even though my use of email in general is comfortably within the free tier.
Spotify is pulling an Epic-Fortnite here.

Whine and cry that the contract they have with Apple is egregious.

Hopefully a federal judge stuffs Spotify just like Epic was stuffed.
Are we talking a Windows environment? I'm sure there are commercial solutions, but I think sandboxie could achieve something similar (don't know how secure it is considered).

If you can chose your system QubesOS may be interesting. It would be interesting if Qubes developed the capability to have non local VMs transparently (they wouldn't necessarily need to be virtualized).
The fighters can actually receive the radar information from AWACs, so the pilots see the radar image. However, just like not having total CAPs coverage over the US, there's not a lot of AWACs coverage either. I'd be shocked if there's any mechanism for them receiving civilian ATC radar. To that end, how much radar coverage is actually there? Isn't civilian traffic pretty much IDs broadcast from the planes?
I'm pretty sure retailers pay wholesalers, not the other way around.
It was so common that S3 added several features to make it really, really hard to accidentally leave a whole bucket public.

The argument under consideration is that if our social lives are too different from those of our ancestors in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness, that will lead to widespread mental-health problems like addiction and suicide. (The study of existing hunter-gatherers is relevant because we cannot go back in time and study our ancestors in detail.)

Your "I'd rather be born as a random person in modern society than a random person in a pre-historical hunter gatherer society" has no relevance that argument.
The triune model of the brain is not just a simplification, but one that promotes antiquated biases about human intelligence in how human intelligence differs from non-human intelligence, how intelligence is distributed among humans themselves, and what is essential to defining human intelligence itself.

The lizard, small mammal, human distinction maps pretty deceptively onto Aristotle's distinctions between the souls: vegetative (plant), sensitive (animal), and rational (human). So if one is trying to pinpoint the seat of intelligence, it seems to follow that we can ignore the two lower sections of the brain in favor of the higher one. Franz Joseph Gall, the founder of phrenology, himself did that, writing off the cerebellum as relevant only for producing the sexual drive [1].

Scientific theories of self-control which were nothing more than Christian dualist arguments evolved out of Gall's work and argued that intelligence involved suppression of the lower faculties, which provided cover for eugenicist and supremacist arguments throughout the 20th century and still shows up today in popular theories about how the 'limbic system' subverts the rational capacities of individuals and is used to manipulate the masses (Elon loves this theory).

Current work funded at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience still prioritizes the neocortex as the seat of rationality, with some like Jeff Hawkins (Palm founder turned brain scientist) arguing that "intelligence is an algorithm found in the neocortex". Singularity arguments rely in part on the assumption that intelligence in humans is mostly limited by the other parts of the brain, not empowered by them, and that a form of intelligence freed of embodiment will inevitably exterminate those that are embodied by right.

The truth is, neglected sub-regions such as the "lizard" cerebellum actually contain the vast majority of neurons, have been shown to have evolved disproportionately larger within early hominins [2], and are theorized to be equally involved in abstract cognition as in bodily manipulation [3]. This is something of a paradigm shift that has only been able to take shape since the late 20th-century (through the work of Jeremy Schmahmann, Peter Strick and others[4]), even though hints of it have been present in the data since it was collected, and that's because of how compelling the triune brain model has been. Research in this direction can directly address mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, but it has to be funded first [5].

All this campaign will do is generate a ton of false positives. They'll end up duplicating Russia's practice of reporting people you don't like as unpatriotic. The US also has some experience with the practice [1], but fortunately those days are way behind us.

The Apple TV has to stream camera from the iPhone to the TV and the other participants (up to 32 participants) in real time without dropping frames or garbling the audio.

I'm not sure the the A10, say nothing of the A4, could reliably handle group calls. To be fair to the A4 and A10, group calls weren't a feature of FaceTime until 2018. Could the A4 handle an audio or low-res video call? Probably.
I've gained a tremendous amount of respect for PII while selling software to banks.

My position on this type of data is that I am simply a temporary custodian over it. The identifiable person owns this information. I recognize it as pure liability for us. All downside in our business models.

We go out of our way to keep this stuff out of our systems. We spent the better part of a month talking about various architectures that would "keep the mess over there" (aka inside the bank's 'secure' environment).

The closest we get to liability is storing salted & hashed PII so that we can correlate business keys within sessions. If we find a piece of PII actually makes it through our layers of redaction, it is treated similar to production going down. Our entire team is trained to respond to a PII incident as if it were a radiation leak at a nuclear power plant.

You cannot repair a broken population after a doom loop.
Keeping it on life support merely entrenches dependance and makes it even harder to undo the damage even generations down the line.

Doom loops only end when the population that doomed the area consumes itself, if they are prevented from doing so though programs, nothing improves.
The same problem exists at the seed level. Who is collecting the 2 trillion seeds (50% germination rate)?

Those are two, also having different networks for different areas (if you have a good service on carrier 1 at one location and carrier 2 at another)
It's not reasonable to expect human security token generation to be perfectly secure all the time. The system needs to be safe overall. The organization should have set an OrgPolicy on this entire project to prevent blanket sharing of auth tokens/credentials like this. Ideally blanket access tokens should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Google banned generation of service account keys for internally-used projects. So an awry JSON file doesn't allow access to Google data/code. This is enforced at the highest level by OrgPolicy. There's a bunch more restrictions, too.
Yup, plenty of stories of pilots going in with the plane because they were guiding it away from people on the ground. That's why modern ejection seats can save you even if you're at ground level (although you do have to be upright in that case.) It lets the pilot ride it as long as possible and yet escape.
It is possible that the C implementation of SQLite is the single most commonly deployed software library ever. If not, then it is probably the second, after zlib.

4 - if you had control with some badass AI why not land the plane safely for a recovery... the example in both the OP and the GP are planes lost in the country they are from not in enemy territory. The planes are not cheap... why would you purposefully wreck it in in a safe location.
I've seen worse. Couple years back, there was an audit that included an internal system I've been working on. It was running on Debian oldstable because of a vital proprietary library I wasn't able to get working on stable at the time, but it had unattended upgrades set up and all that.

The company made some basic port scan and established that we're running outdated and vulnerable version of Apache. I found the act of explaining the concept of backports to a "pentester" to be physically painful.

They didn't get paid and another company was entrusted with the audit.
It’s just overall vastly improved. I understand that’s not really saying much since the iOS 16 keyboard, when compared to what’s out there, is essentially unusable.

I can’t remember the last time I said “fuck this stupid fucking keyboard”, whereas I said it with the iOS 16 keyboard every time I had to use it.
Because your average low six figure software dev has more in common with the warehouse workers then the actually rich. Accounting for inflation all these "rich" tech bros have made it to what would be called "middle class" in the 80s and 90s. And unless you're DINKing around at $250k base salary in a low CoL area you haven't even made it to uppper middle class of that era.

High inflation and the disproportionate increases in housing costs even relative to the high inflation have made people so much poorer but it happened so fast the number adjustment hasn't caught up to where people don't realize that $80k which was a modest salary in 1990 you need $180k today to get that purchasing power.

The sentiment "woah, you make six figures!" was affected by inflation too and you need a quarter million to have that today.

What do you mean by dynamically-typed generics and statically typed generics here? I've looked up "post-monomorphization errors" and found some things about assertions about generic types failing because of the choices made by the user who passed in types or constants that do not work with the generic code. It seems like Zig libraries have the option of generating the errors at the right place if they place their assertions in the function that returns the type to the user, but they also have the option of generating the errors in the wrong place if they place their assertions in methods of the type.

> So… I’m not sold on your wording that it’s circumventing issues, as it’s choosing a different set of trade-offs. In shedding types-are-a-language-of-their-own, you also shed confidence about what’s a breaking change, and make call sites more fragile. Decide for yourself whether it’s worth it.

Client code can just look at all the members of all the structs so there's not really much hope for enforcing that changes cannot break any client code using compiler-adjacent tooling.
> a relational database that has solid JSON+text support (e.g. Postgres) [vs] a NoSQL DB that attempts to implement a true relational model

I think both cases are similar to using a flat-head screwdriver for a phillips screw. It will technically work but you might run into otherwise avoidable problems. Use the right tool for the job. Though generally a relational database with JSON support will better serve most web applications, a nosql db might better serve niche internal processing.

I always kind of felt that Microsoft should have made gradual updates to Paint. I'm not saying that they should be itching to take on Photoshop or anything, but I feel that between Windows 95 until Windows Vista, Paint was pretty much unchanged.

I think it would have been kind of cool if they kept a small team dedicated to making Paint gradually better, getting it into parity with something like Paint.NET or something like that.

I work at one of the largest, and have also worked at startups and in between.

Having PII littered about in ways that aren’t easily deletable is quite a canary. Companies with these issues are the same companies that end up with data breaches due to their cavalier treatment of user data. Perhaps these companies should be grateful they have a regulatory body ensuring they don’t fall too far behind the basic data stewardship practices the rest of the industry has in place.

I don't need to run all of production, just enough of it to get the job done with no shared parts. That's usually very little.
I do with proc macros could evolve to be able to query the compiler for information (which would necessitate careful thought to adding stages to compiling). I've wanted to know "does this struct impl this trait" or "give me a list of all concretely implemented traits" or various things like this that would be very, very useful in a proc macro.
In theory for any AI model that generates code you'll want to have a series of post generation tests, for example something like SAST and/or SCA that ensure the model is not biasing itself to particular flaws.

At least for common languages this should stand out.

Where it gets more tricky is watering hole attacks against specialized languages or certain setups. This said you'd have to ensure that this data is not already there scraped up from the internet.
