Your parent comment said he was assuming a PIN was used to seal the TPM, and the attacking the link would have failed if the TPM had a PIN set, no? I agree though that using a TPM without a PIN gives little in the way of data protection. Not nothing, but little.
> the city will install almost 5,000 new speed signs, adjust 170 traffic lights

How is 5000 signs 'slowly' ?
50 years is a looong time. I don't think that was it.
Not only that, they also result in commits that change a lot of files and make many changes in each file. Try to revert one of those commits is difficult after other changes have been merged into the main branch.
My city has been limited to 30 km/h for a few years now.

As someone who is mostly by bike and by foot, sometimes in public transports and occasionally in a car, that has been a good thing.

The city is small and full of traffic lights, and there's a ring road, 50 to 30 km/h inside the city can't be increasing travel time too much for cars. I don't think it was possible to drive at 50 km/h in most of the city anyway.

(and the city could use less air pollution, I guess it helps a bit on this aspect in addition to the noise and the safety).

Congratulations to Amsterdam :-)
Most of the vaccines were designed and developed in University labs - so if you trust science then you should trust them.

The COVID numbers also come from scientists in public health and statistics organisations.
Why don't you trust those scientists they made no profit.

The first vaccine to be approved the AstraZenica one approved in the UK was sold at cost so that should show that it was needed.

Why do you not trust those scientists I show above.

Which scientists do you accept? and why are they different?

It did have issues in that for under 30 it had a slightly higher risk of embolisms (which is one reason that it is not use much now) and in its first tests did not have enough over 60 year olds in the trial. This latter was picked up by several things US did not approve it - how much was NIH it got nad press possibly because the not over 60s tests meant that European politicians misinterpreted so say it was unsafe and that view was not changed when it had the full tests, its PR was messed up saying things like it passed all tersts then had to backtrack making AZ look shady. Being the fitst some people pressing for patyent free vaccines criticised it from day one even thopugh much cheaper for all than other vaccines.

So everyone was critising it even though it worked.

How much of this was driven by other pharma companies lobbying because of the at cost price vs their with profit price. The AZ president has said that they would not do things at cost again as it is just not worth the issues.
Ask HN: Is Counter.dev down?
I’ve been having trouble accessing the site for a day or two. I use counter.dev for some of my hobby projects.

I couldn’t find any status page or any thread on other social media, so I’m asking here.

Does anyone know more?
And to add another case, you step out of the cinema and make some rather tasteless remark about the lead actor.

Your relatively well-chosen circle of friends reacts to that negatively and you concede that you were probably being unfair.

The online equivalent of that is more like a splitting of universes. Half of the comment's blast radius impacts a group of people who much like your friends finds it distasteful, but unlike your friends has very little other context about you with which to build an image. They launch an attack against this new simulacrum.

The other half finds, amongst the near-infinite crowd of people you're not hanging out with right now (many of which wouldn't have passed some other social filter of yours), some number of people who agree with and amplify your off-the-cuff nasty take.
Average quality is so much higher for certain languages (Clojure and OCaml also come to mind). I don’t mind a 5% pool size when 95% of the alternative can’t build things.
In my language, there are decent books on the subject and informative and inspiring accounts on Instagram. Look for "baby signing", must be loads of English materials. We created our own extended vocabulary using English baby signing, lots of good words here: https://babysignlanguage.com/dictionary/table/

Like the GP said, helped us loads in communicating with our kid before he could talk, much to our shared delight, and, I believe, relieved a _bunch_ of potential frustration.
Same here. Not trusting endpoints go both ways - I don't trust it either. I don't have a fancy router, but it supports guest wifi, so I use my work computer with that.

Not quite as long as a week but here are some tips when I want to code from a long haul flight or some other offline situation.

- The replacement for Figma is straightforward - pen and paper. Make sure you take some.

- devdocs.io for offline docs or if what you're using isn't in there, a lot of packages offer a PDF of their docs.

- I keep a pyproject file that has basically any mainstream package I am likely to want at any point while writing Python, then when I leave for a trip I make sure everything is installed locally. Docker can also be helpful for this.

- Sometimes I write tests when I have internet then when I'm offline I just spend the time making the tests go green.

- Other times I will forget about writing new code and learn something new by working through the PDF of a book. Most technical books set up the dev environment in the first few pages, do that when you have internet then you're good to go.

Other people have raised good points about getting away from your computer. I don't want to preach but I do like a 'holiday' day where I do some light coding in the morning then spend the afternoon doing something else entirely.
I won't be the one defending Linkedin, but:

- I got all my jobs via Linkedin (e.g., either a recruiter reaches to me, or I reach a recruiter working for company X, or I search through their job ads, etc.)

- I do not use Linkedin for anything other than job search. So one can easily not look at their timeline nor stupid social posts (linkedin notifications are off, and I do not receive any notification via email)

So, yeah, it sucks if they start asking for phone numbers.

TABs should be used for indentation, making it line up pretty.

SPace is for separating words.

Modern editors (and old ones too) should be able to show what is a TAB, so there is no reason to be confused.

The problem is that people think of TABs as a certain number of spaces, as if an indentation must be a certain number of spaces. In Python or Yaml etc, the logical construct is to have "one indentation level" for things like the statemants that belong to an if, or whatever. Requiring people to put in a somewhat randomly chosen number of spaces is just silly. It is "one level", so the logical choise would have been to put in one symbol to designate this fact, then use the settings of the editor to show it as you want (how many "spaces" to move), and this can change depending on personal choice, the monitor you use, etc.
Sam is a great guy with a true passion for this. Hope it succeeds.
Presumably whilst 5000 sounds like a lot it probably isn’t? Each road impacted needing multiple signs and all that.
If you're wondering about the actual performance of these cores, I think they'll end up around 300-350 single thread Geekbench6 points (comparable to Intel Goldmont N4020, or the ancient Core 2 E8400/Q9500). This is based on extrapolating ARMs public estimates (35% better than A55, or up to 90% of A73 performance).

The A55 (2017) wasn't great from a perf/watt standpoint (modest power savings but massive performance reduction vs their A7x middle cores), and it doesn't look like the A510 (2021) is a big leap forward. It's nowhere near Apple's very impressive efficiency cores (which reach A7x like performance at lower power than the A55). Anandtech has more details:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16693/arm-announces-mobile-ar...

As of the latest generation of SoCs, Apple’s efficiency cores were around 4x faster than any Cortex-A55 based SoC. Which, running at roughly the same system active power, also made them 3-4x more efficient in the traditional benchmarks. As presented, a theoretical A510 SoC won't be able to close that efficiency gap at all.

See also https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-perfo... especially the last graph, which shows how far ahead Apple is on perf/watt.
Is it one more case where a good technology was killed by incumbents fearing disruption?

Their tech seemed solid and a good match for tablets such as the Kindle Fire family that tries to overlap tablets and e-readers.
I have the habit of force stopping any questionable application (uber) as soon as I stop using it. That and limiting permissions to when the app is actually open.
It's easy to distinguish which jobs are fake and which are legit. At least in IT I can do that. Linkedin is crap, but it's one of the places in which you can get to know which companies are out there.
The information is still correct. Moving your headquarters is a pretty old trick to circumvent state sanctions (while leaving a good chunk of operations in the sanctioned country as an example) and doesn't fly with checking institutions.
Let me save a lot of you a google. 18.6 mph.
There's probably a huge cultural difference here, but the image there sure does not look like a 30km/h street to me --- more like a 30mph one. That said, I've seen pictures of other European streets, far narrower and meandering, where even 30km/h would seem too fast.

It is also launching a campaign with the slogan: “We drive 30 for each other.”

Not surprisingly, the socialism is blatantly obvious.
>When was the last time the US attacked a nation to annex them into their sovereignty?

So invading and bombing other countries is now fine as long as you don't annex them? Good to know that's how far the goalposts have moved.
Oh, than I got that urban legend wrong.
The maximum url length is typically quite long.

Another thing is that you don’t necessarily need to encode uuids canonically. They are just u128’s. It’s relatively straightforward to find a url friendly string representation that is shorter.

I cannot agree to the statement "Everyone hates yaml".

I think the "highly unlikely" part is pure speculation.

If the stone in TFA gets buried when _our_ civilization collapses, the stone would now probably date to 2020 AD instead of whatever it should have been.
To the layman, sure, this stuff seems high tech.

However, for anyone that has been exposed to neural nets in the past decade, the solution of "throwing more compute" at it has been obvious. The big driver of this has been the actual compute availability. Even in early 2000s, it was simply unfeasible to just make computers iterate on a bunch of things until they got it right. When deep learning took hold and showed promise, hardware start to catch up, and now a rack of GPUs can pretty much out-compute buildings of servers back from 2000s.

Same thing is going to happen in the future. If economy works out in such a way that someone with median salary can buy a box that allows them to train a model like Llama in a week (with of course cheap electricity and updated power grid), we are going to get much cooler things. Because in that case, it wouldn't be a matter of figuring out what the best architecture is for LLM - it would be a matter of generalizing the compute graph, which means that the actual architecture would be a learnable parameter.

I mean if you look at the human brain, and take the neural activations per second (which is essentially a floating point operation of add/multiply) times the number of neurons, you get some petaflop number. We have racks of hardware that can match that number right now. We just don't know the correct structure of all the compute graph, and to figure it out is a matter of iteration, and computers are better at iteration than humans are.
same old template based data binding, just like observable never existed.

Most of the problems with data binding stem from the fact that there is not a prorammable understandable primitive for us to reason about it. Yet time and time again people try to hide such primitive behind some magic templates, hooks, runes and that kind of nonsense
Yeah I moved a short distance in London to an area that is all 20mph and for me the most noticeable change is the reduction in noise levels (the limits in the previous area were generally 30mph). The new area feels so much more peaceful. It surprised me how much difference a 10mph drop makes.
What about brake dust? That's a big problem too, and curb weight tax wouldn't help because EV mostly use regen braking[0].

Also, some tires and brakes emit far less than others[O], so it would be much better to tax by level of non-exhaust emissions (just like CO2/km).

14,000 people executed without trial makes Che a mass murderer, whether you like it or not.

Worship of this mass murderer is repugnant:

“We executed many people by firing squad without knowing if they were fully guilty. At times, the Revolution cannot stop to conduct much investigation.”

“My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood…I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”

“We must eliminate all newspapers; we cannot make a revolution with free press.”

“We send to Guanahacabibes [i.e., Cuban labor camp] people who have committed crimes against revolutionary morals…it is hard labor…the working conditions are harsh…”
This is a fair point but the same is absolutely true for JS. In fact moreso. A JS error makes an entire script fail. CSS fails gracefully. The more CSS you support, the better things work. If you fail to support some JS syntax you break the whole script
Stepping – Incremental View Maintenance for Python
Which is the exact point of my silly answer. :-)

The original article claimed that "of necessity [lossy codecs] eliminate some of the musical information". I don't know how to quantify the musical information, but given another statement that "[l]ess bits always equals less music", it seems to be more or less same to the information-theoretic complexity. But as you have correctly guessed, there are a lot of places where the information can be lost, everything from performer's skills, musical instruments, ADC/DAC processes, and up to speakers. So "information not lost" is not a good argument for bashing lossy codecs, because you have lost so many informations already, just that you haven't noticed yet.

Also I claim the lossless compression exists even after this massive reduction of potential information because you can prove that a specific step is indeed bijective. In fact, even the most of lossy codecs are lossless. They are designed to lose some information at the very specific point so that they can be analyzed. "Lossless JPEG (re)compression" wouldn't make sense unless you realize that those lossless steps can be done more efficiently. I have seen enough people who assumed that this is impossible though...

Just curious, why aren't you using something like Cloudflare, Vercel or some other proven website for website hits?

Rather than what looks to be an unproven pet project of some developer. If nobody is paying for it, there are no guarantees of uptime or support.
They’re doing this in Reykjavik as well which is great, although enforcement is poor so on the larger roads that are now 50km/h everyone is still driving 70km/h as they were when the limit was 60km/h. Going back to the UK where a twisty road through my parents village with tiny pavements was 30mph was pretty shocking with how much more dangerous that felt.
Saito isn't an obscure blockchain. The formal proof of its sybil-proof properties is also chain-agnostic.

It would be difficult to modify POS to have these properties, but the question of how best to accomplish that would be something for developers in those other networks to address.
This is wonderful. remember : Cities aren't noisy, Cars are noisy.
That's getting close to something reasonable to achieve on a (non-"e") bicycle. I have always wanted to get a speeding ticket on my bike, but never have.
The street looks that way because up until now the speed limit was 50km/h, or about 30mph.
I'm fan of the concept of superblocks. You can drive inside them, but not between them. Want to go from block A to D? Can't drive through B and C. Need to drive out to the ring road, then follow it and into block D.

Makes it so that no through traffic at speed goes through the areas where people live and stay.
YOUR behavior is weird? Looks more like your friends are justifying their behavior to continue doing what they are doing.
That's exactly missing the point.

He's got 3 points, and so? That's none of the insurance company's business. It's between a driver and the road authorities.

Statistically, a non-negligible proportion of medication prescribed to the general population can have an impact on cognitive abilities, and, de facto, make them worse drivers. Yet, car insurance companies are not privy to a driver's medical history. For a good reason: breach of privacy.

My argument is that points on a license fall under the same category: privacy, and not-their-business.

Then again, they also had insurances in the UK inviting drivers to install phone apps to monitor their driving, and set their premiums accordingly. So, if a country thinks that's absolutely fine, well, what to say..
Reading their docs: No real benefits, just misconceptions.

1. Collision resistance / "weak" PRGNs used to generate UUIDv4. Firstly, these are properties of the implementation, not the spec. Secondly, the source for calling the browser `Crypto.getRandomValues()` insecure is an issue that has been fixed back in 2016. I would not trust the developers of this implementation to do a better job than current browsers.

2. "Not URL or name friendly": Fair, but not very strong argument.

3. "Horizontally scalable" and "offline-capable": No argument given for why UUIDv4 does not meet these requirements, apart from point 1 above.

4. "Too fast": No argument given for why having a slower algorithm to generate random ids is more secure. Both UUIDv4 and Cuid2 use a similar number of random bits (122-124). When using a secure PRNG, both are equally difficult to guess, the SHA3 hashing doesn't add anything. You don't have to try and guess the "input" of the Cuid2 - you can just try to guess the "output" and skip the SHA3 hashing. It would be impossible to actually guess a generated ID, but UUIDv4 is just as impossible. Also no argument given for why UUIDv7 is fine but UUIDv4 is not.

I've used UUIDv4 for genering unique IDs for over 10 years now. I have run into collisions, when I hand-rolled my own implementation for J2ME with major bugs many years ago - ended up with around 20 bits of entropy instead of 122. That's not a reason to not use UUIDv4, just a reason to not implement it yourself unless you really know what you're doing.
Someone who is a Greek expat and pays attention to current events in Greece is more likely to be better informed than you (a non-Greek) simply because they know the history Greece better than you, and most importantly, they know the Greek language, which gives them access to more information from Greek language news sources, Greek language social media, and their Greek relatives back home. I find the English language media, provide very little coverage of countries where the language is not English. As a news junkie, I would love to be able to follow what is happening in places like the Balkans, Europe, etc; but I can't because I can't read them in their native languages.
I prefer thinking scalability more literally (like Chris Coyier): an approach that works for a small site and remain the same approach for a large site. Nue's approach is MVC, which is a project not released yet. Check: https://nuejs.org/tools/

Less characters in source code is obviously a better metric for simplicity than what there are on the minified code (Nue wins on both btw)

In the video, there is the phone-to-screen projection mockup, which is smooth and, imo absolutely fake, and cca one second where a developer is dragging the window from LCD to e-ink screen, and it shows the real frame rate, about 3–5 fps.
Wales (UK) did this about a week ago. Setting 20mph as a limit in urban areas. I was there yesterday and now the problem is that it's very unclear where exactly it applies and if it will be enforced. Also satnavs such as Apple and Google maps have not been updated for the new speeds leading to further confusion. There are some areas where this makes sense, but a blanket change seems political. Hopefully it will cause less pollution and accidents in the future and not just be used as a money making scheme for fining people.

> It’s relatively straightforward to find a url friendly string representation that is shorter.

Are we talking about shortening the whole URL or shortening specific UUIDs? If the latter then I imagine one would still need to keep track of the mapping UUID <-> shorten version, somewhere, right? If so, why not just add yet another field/column for an old good numeric integer that can be used for filtering? Would that work?
In the Netherlands you can find a running experiment for power generation based on salt vs freshwater. It is using the osmotic pressure instead, but nevertheless, maybe interesting to know there is a pilot plant running and they acquired more subsidy to build a larger scale installation.

> It's really annoying how none of these tools provide an easy way to activate the properly fast, zero CPU overhead hardware-based encryption that almost all modern SSDs can do, which also makes it work properly with DirectStorage, etc.

Because the situation is similar to Dr. House: All disks lie. An OS can't trust the quality of the encryption in modern SSDs, there is no way short of dedicated hardware and firmware reverse engineering to make sure it actually encrypts the data. And on top of that comes the issue with using the supposedly "secure" TPM for disk encryption, that in many cases can simply be sniffed on the communication bus [1].

The only way a disk encryption solution can reasonably guarantee security is if it either controls the whole stack (such as Apple's FileVault using the T2 coprocessor on Intel/built-in capabilities on M SoCs) or it does everything in ring 0 inside the OS.
