I find it interesting how folks here are always so much more critical of things like this, despite being generally outside of what the average HNer is experienced with or knowledgeable about.

Is this an ideal setup? Not even close, but you'll find mechanical people love to tinker with this kind of thing, myself included.

For people saying “but there are amazing musicians who don’t read music,” yes, of course there are. Literacy isn’t required for poets, either. There are rich oral traditions that weren’t written down for hundreds or thousands of years. But you cannot convince me that reading and writing are unimportant for poets and audiobook readers. You can do both jobs without reading or writing, but they’re a heck of a lot easier if you do.

I think it also depends what instrument you play. It’s understandable that there are guitarists in this thread saying “eh, pianists don’t need sheet music, I do fine without it” but they are missing the fact that sheet music is way more useful for piano than it is for guitar. If someone truly does not want to learn to read music, they might consider taking up an instrument like guitar where you can get along without it.

If you're working on strategy at Unity in good faith right now, I think you announce like they did rather than having the CEO take accountability. Because I think the CEO apology strategy depends on the CEO's ability to convince people he's sincere and contrite. That's a tall order under these circumstances.
Canarying gets you a 1/n treatment group, but it might be skew geographically (all affected users are near the canary’s datacenter). You need a percentage in a feature flag if 1/n is too big and you want, e.g., 0.1% of traffic.

well, yes, but not quite like that.
One might think that an individual who thinks about an empire that has been “dead” for nearly 1500 years is a bit strange. Why would anyone care about a dead empire, after all?
The reason why it’s funny is because of how common people say they do think about the Roman empire (which for me is also quite often). It’s subverting expectations— you think no one thinks about the Empire— in reality, all of your family and neighbors do think about the Empire on a regular basis.

> but isn't it fascinating how truly interested in the roman republic and emopire we are?

If you're in the US, how can you not be? It's everywhere! The fledgling US was desperately in need of authority and gravitas, so they essentially cosplayed as the inheritors of the ideals of Rome, and put that shit everywhere.

Why does Washington DC look the way it does? Why are there pillars and obelisks and domes and white marble everywhere? Why is there Latin on the money? Why does every US courthouse look like a Roman temple, and why is there a Roman goddess on it?

The trend is popular because it's laughing at men for being "nerdy", but I think it's sad how ignorant a lot of people in the US are for not knowing about or recognizing the absolutely enormous amounts of references to Rome that exists in modern US.

If it is publicly traded stocks it is pretty easy.

There is this doctrine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

which tends to push people towards more dependency on property tax, particularly the idea that high property taxes might be a good thing if they drove people in San Francisco to abandon their single family houses. I posted an article from Jacobin advocating that a few weeks back and was shocked to get a swell of people blaming immigrants for high rent that and some other experiences make me wonder if YOShInOn and I should quit posting articles from Jacobin.

(That said, the left around Ithaca NY has gotten the idea that high property taxes cause high rents but that's because Ithaca has the unusual problem that so much of the land in Ithaca belongs to educational and other institutions that are tax exempt so the remaining landowners have quite the burden.)
> ed is a line editor in the sense that all of it's commands act on a \n delimited line at a time

I don't think that’s fully correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_editor (emphasis added):

“a line editor is a text editor in which each editing command applies to _one_or_more_ complete lines of text designated by the user”

Also, ed commands all can work on multiple lines by prefixing them with an address range. For example,

1,4l

will output the first four lines of the file to the output device.

I also think a defining feature is that line editors don’t automatically show a full screen of the document because they’re designed to be usable on a teletype, where printing a line took about 10 seconds. In fact, even just outputting the current line after each command was considered wasteful.
This actually sounds like quite the argument for electric trucks.

The asses-in-chairs owner I mentioned briefly had us discount time we spent on coffee breaks or on walks from our daily hours... exercise tends to encourage brain activity and for me specifically (I have ADHD) it has an extremely strong effect.

I’m really unsure about the Chinese milk scandal analogy. While the Vioxx incident is definitely terrible on its own and may indicate the US government and merchants do not take enough responsibility, the comparison to the melamine is awkward at best; one is a new drug with possible negative health implications (for whatever reason), while the other is a food product with an already illegal additive. It’s not particularly useful to compare the reactions toward the two.
Pardon me, but your implementation is a strawman. Pick on this (which doesn't require Cython 3):

from libcpp.vector cimport vector
from libcpp.pair cimport pair

cdef class PointVec:
cdef vector[pair[float, float]] vec

def __init__(self, points: list[tuple[float, float]]):
self.vec = points

def __repr__(self):
result = ", ".join(f"({x}, {y})" for x, y in self.vec)
return f"PointVec({result})"

def __setitem__(
self, index, point: tuple[float, float]
):
cdef pair[float, float] *p = &self.vec.at(index)
p.first = point[0]
p.second = point[1]

def __getitem__(self, index):
return self.vec.at(index)
I play by ear and chords too, but being able to jot something down, or read something someone else has written down, is as useful to me in music as it is in English. Literacy is just plain practical.
So 7 basic plots. But an actual plot for an original story isn’t just a basic plot is it? It’s an original work.

Movies are sued all the time for copyright infringement due to substantially copying plot and character elements. [0]

Because these cases tend to each be unique, the line between infringement and non-infringement gets settled very much on a case by case basis.

As a result of this inherent unpredictability, most cases involve the accused settling with the aggrieved party to get the lawsuit dismissed.

This is common in many areas of civil law.

A few examples:

1. *"The Island" (2005)*
- Accusation: Similarities to the 1979 film "Parts: The Clonus Horror."
- Outcome: Settled out of court. [1]

2. *"Frozen" (2013)*
- Accusation: Claimed similarities to a short film named "The Snowman."
- Outcome: Disney settled the case. [2]

3. *"Coming to America" (1988)*
- Accusation: Art Buchwald claimed the movie was based on his script.
- Outcome: Paramount settled for an undisclosed amount. [3]

4. *"The Terminator" (1984)*
- Accusation: Harlan Ellison claimed it was similar to an episode of "The Outer Limits."
- Outcome: Settled out of court, and an acknowledgment was added to later copies. [4]

5. *"Disturbia" (2007)*
- Accusation: Accused of being similar to Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window."
- Outcome: Initially dismissed, but a settlement was reached. [5]

The vast majority of "failed replication" has nothing to do with fraud or false findings, and everything to do with "You have to write what you did to get this result that other people can follow, but you aren't really incentivized to be comprehensive and clear and note down every possible contributor so nobody can recreate the reaction you had in your paper because you didn't write down that you did it in an especially cold lab"

Not in my circles he's not. Most of the people I know say pretty much the same thing, myself included.

I'd be willing to put up with the inconvenience of this "fast charge" that gets me a few hours for 30 minutes of charging, but that presumes every where I stop has it. Which they absolutely would not, especially given the nature of the trips that take me that far.
Maybe there should be an “expected key” argument to “git clone”. GitHub could include it in the copy-pasted clone command. Problem solved.

I wonder if an expert can "impose" weights onto a model and the model will opt to continue with them when it resumes training. For example, in the vision example, the expert may not know where "orangeness" currently exists, but if they impose their own collection of weight adjustments that represent orangeness, will the model continue to use these weights as the path of least resistance when continuing to optimize? Just spitballing, but if we can't pick out which neurons do what, the alternative would seem to be to encourage the model to adopt a control interface of neurons.
I think the main thing is that most people still aren't working with a good migrations system to manage changes to their schema... which means logic held in database triggers and stored procedures quickly becomes a non-version-controlled not-properly-tested mess.

Good migration systems exist, and people should use them!

I held off on doing interesting things with triggers for more than a decade. In the past year I've started leaning into them much more heavily (actually using them in SQLite) because I have confidence that I can both write good tests for them and have good migrations automation in place for version-controlling my schema.
It may actually prove to be the opposite case as the capacitors in these old scopes self destruct and eat their own circuit boards and surrounding components.

I have a Rigol and an Agilent over 10 years old now and going strong. Honestly though, my Agilent overheated once and destroyed its own SMPS. This was terrifying given the price of the scope (and at the moment, just knowing -- it was dead and smelled like an electronics fire). I now have a circulating fan on my scope shelf moving air behind and across all my bench equipment.

I replaced that Agilent SMPS for $150? and then got a 2 year service plan for another couple hundred dollars.

The latest Rigol prices are pretty expendable, $299!! but I suspect they will be running for quite a few years.
> Supply chains stretched so taut that a single disruption shut the whole world down.

Saying "single disruption" here is almost as bad as saying the dinosaurs were wiped out by a single rock. It's not a matter of the number of underlying causes but a matter of the scale of the disruption.
Do you know why lenders still use very old FICO models? Is this just inertia, or are the new models more expensive, or do the old models predict default risk better for those loan types?
The cost of the boat is inconsequential, can be as low as free.

Someone who is doing this to save money isn't buying a superyacht. You can get very old boats in very bad shape that are not seaworthy but float well enough to live in for just about free (sometimes literally free).

In every marina I've had a boat there are a percentage of liveaboards. Many of those boats aren't going anywhere under their own power but they haven't left the slip in over a decade so it doesn't matter.

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/02/Android-11... says:

“Native image decoder - New NDK APIs let apps decode and encode images (such as JPEG, PNG, WebP) from native code for graphics or post processing, while retaining a smaller APK size since you don’t need to bundle an external library. The native decoder also takes advantage of Android’s process for ongoing platform security updates. See the NDK sample code for examples.”

However, poking about in the Android mainline module docs I can find no evidence that the image decoder libraries are included in the system updates that get pushed through Google Play. I’ve unpacked the obvious modules & found the video codecs, but no sign whatsoever of the image decoder libraries,

It would be helpful to be able to tell whether a given phone has received such an update, especially in the case of 0-click exploits like this one! Are all Android 11+ phones guaranteed to receive it? (it would seem so, if this is a core security component) Is there anyway to tell whether you’ve received it? This aspect of Android updates seems to be entirely opaque to the end user - updates get pushed through Google Play services & that’s it.

After some investigation, I found https://support.google.com/product-documentation/answer/1141...

which gives some details of Android system updates pushed through Google Play. This changelog does not list CVEs or specific bugfixes, so it’s impossible to tell which bugs have been closed via this route, but it is at least slightly better than nothing at all.

It is possible to map those updates to actual CVEs mentioned in the AOSP sources via a circuitous route involving adb & running a bunch of commands on your phone, according to this blog post: https://www.esper.io/blog/building-a-google-play-system-upda...

Looking at the current AOSP wepb sources, no module tags have been attached to the current release, so it doesn’t look like it’s been pushed out yet, if it’s possible for Google to do so at all outside the monthly security updates for in-support phones.
I feel like term limits would at least help prevent singular people from staying in power long enough to collect more power. It only really seems controversial with the politicians themselves, everyone else seems to be pretty for it from wherever they are on the aisle from what I've seen.

This is the conclusion I've come to. Societal decay causes nations with even the most solid foundations to topple. There's really no way around it.

A phrase to summarize the phenomenon is: "Politics is downstream from culture."

We focus too much on slapping bandaids on society through increasing bloat of government and adding more laws to the pile, when the real root of the problem is our culture is falling apart. No amount of laws is going to fix that.

I parallel it to medications. You get one illness, so you get prescribed a medication. But then that medication causes an unusual reaction with your body, so you're given another medication to fix that one. But that medication has adverse effects when taken in conjunction with the first one, so now you need to take another medication to fix that... and it continues until you have a daily ritual of popping 20 pills to solve a trivial health condition.

The US is taking way too many medications, and not going on the proper diet to solve its health issues. That can be said both literally, and in the metaphorical sense.

You are absolutely right, that (for plain, domain attestation) paid CAs are exactly as trustworthy as LetsEncrypt, and often much less (remember the Diginotar debacle, for example). "Keeping the streets safe" is not their responsibility, except in a very limited sense. The $500 extended validation was mostly paper work and snake oil.

My point wasn't to discredit LetsEncrypt, but to point out that Google's claim to mitigate the MITM attack vector with https-first wasn't a very strong argument. I mean, yes, sure: if you can't intercept or downgrade to HTTP the MITM doesn't work. But all the HTTP seems to do was redirect to a malicious payload. But you can also do a redirect in HTTPS.

So if you can spoof someone to go to https://g00gle.com/ it should be just as easy to launch the attack chain from there.

GitHub Actions is a horrible CI/CD system. You cannot run steps in parallel on the same VM; container-based workloads are a second-class citizen. The first problem means that setting up local credentials and other environment dependencies cannot be parallelized (I'm looking at you, google-github-actions/setup-gcloud, with your 1m+ runtime... grrr), the second makes it quite difficult to put a Dockerfile in a repository to represent setup of the CI environment, and have both (a) the CI rebuild the container images when the image would change, pausing workflows depending on that image until the image is rebuilt, (b) not attempting to rebuild the image when its contents did not change, and immediately running workflows inside that image, including all dependencies already installed.

No, in GitHub Actions, you will attempt to repopulate from cache on every single run. Of course, sometimes the cache isn't found, particularly because there's a 5 GB cache size limit (which cannot be enlarged, not even for payment) which cycles out FIFO. So if you go over the 5 GB cache, you might as well not have one.

I deeply miss Concourse. Too bad Pivotal dismantled the team and it barely gets even maintenance work. Parallel tasks. Custom pipeline triggers. SSH into the CI environment to debug. Run one-off tasks in CI without needing to set up a pipeline. Transfer directory contents from one job to another without needing to create artifacts (which cost money to store if you're not careful about how long they should stick around for).

GitHub Actions is a bastardized toy CI/CD system that only got popular because GitHub make it as simple as uploading a file to .github/workflows in any repository - no additional signup, no in-house ops required, everything you could want is just there. So let's be very clear about what GitHub Actions is good and what it's bad at - it's good at getting people to sign up, but it's not nearly powerful enough to be the "best" system once you start to outgrow the early features.
There are a ton of "quantum software" companies that present themselves as consultants that can provide unique computational capabilities to your business once there is quantum hardware which can run that software. All of them sell various SDKs that run on simulators, simulating a handful of perfect qubits and some gates on them (generally pretty useless stuff). If quantum computers are one day built, some of these companies might become the equivalent of Red Hat, but today their services are mostly a waste of money.
