Car culture wasn't embedded into society before WWII. Before then, the USA had an incredible network of railways, and many cities had pretty decent tram systems. Those were abandoned or ripped out as car manufacturers and policy makers pushed a pro-car agenda. Car manufacturers became extremely wealthy as a result.

I don't disagree with you that it feels embedded (and indeed, the American suburbs are particularly dependent on cars), but I do disagree that it could never happen. The USA has made big dramatic changes in society before, and big changes are possible again. In fact, I will say such changes are inevitable! It just depends on whether we are intentional in making those changes ourselves or if they are forced upon us by hitting the limits of an unsustainable arrangement.
Neither? I mean, it could be useful but not essential.
It might be a leftover from the time where we had text-only docs (no courier) and the use of `backticks` was not commonplace. With those restrictions, ALL_CAPS would be a way to signal “this is a name that has meaning for machines”, simply because humans don’t use that convention.
Changing the port to anything other than 22 does this as well.
Well, if you have any competitors, pay to leave fake reviews on their Google listings :P
You can see here: GitHub.com/HNx1/IdentityLM

It’s a direct (and open source) implementation of public key cryptography into the LLM logit distribution.

I believe it's not announced yet.

I'll chuck out an unqualified estimate of €10k each, will find out next year (probably) if I'm anywhere close!
I never wrote 69k assembly but I did use the coldfire subset and it was downright delightful compared to x86asm. X86asm is by far the most confusing hacked together mess I've ever seen.

> this concept is appealing to me, but why not also offer a full-sized sensor at a higher cost for those who want one?

I'm seriously baffled by the decision as well. full frame is a highly sought after feature in higher end cameras. I myself chose a z5 over the zfc because of full frame.

That said, the new nikon Zf blows this out of the water if you want a high end sensor paired with the retro aesthetic.
> And with iOS 17 to be released in just a few months, Apple will be drooping the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and iPhone XS from the compatibility list.

This is false, iPhone XS is supported on iOS 17.
Shall we build ozone factories at McMurdo and Tierra Del Fuego? :-D
The wild thing about this is that Elon thought he was clever getting a head start on the takeover. The SEC can and will show exactly to the dollar that he materially benefitted from lower prices on the shares he bought before disclosing he was accumulating shares. This is the multibillionaire version of stealing an airplane and crashing it, and then being billed for the fuel.
This is a phenomenal piece of writing.
Jump hosts are a well-tested and widely-deployed pattern already that basically do the same thing without the downside of lockout problems from connecting from somewhere new.
> Modern I/O devices are highly concurrent and support massive throughput. A device can have millisecond latency while still executing an operation every microsecond. In these cases, the operation latency doesn't matter, your thread has to handle events at the rate the device executes operations.

This is true for some applications, like an OLAP database or similar. It’s not true for the typical user-facing app where you want to finish requests as soon as possible because a user is waiting and every millisecond costs you money.
If the vulnerability is within the PNG renderer, then wouldn't all text messaging (not just iMessage) be effected?

As I recall, the disclosures of major vulnerabilities in iMessage don't say that regular SMS messaging is effected.
So.. if Motorola had taken the 88000 into TSMC and pursued the nm war down the size ladder do you think it would have worked?

Maybe the 68000 -> 88000 transition was the problem?
Motorola was an example of the adage "never invest in a company that has a museum to itself."

(The Galvin Center has since been demolished, replaced by a Top Golf. There's drone footage on Youtube of various stages of the demolition.)
This is true only because today the borders between RISC and CISC do ot exist anymore, modern technologies would decode everything into uops anyway. But in 1980s and early 90s, this was not true. CISC was indeed more difficult to scale.
> Comparing the President of a Japanese video game company to the CEO of major American healthcare organization with ~6-7x the revenue isn't really an apt comparison, is it?

Why wouldn’t it be? And if it’s not, how about a comparison between Sony and KP? Sony’s revenue in 2022 was $88B (though with a much larger net of $6.7B instead of KP’s $0.9B). Sony’s CEO was paid $4.4M.

https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/FY2022_20F_PDF.p...

I also think spinning Nintendo as simply a Japanese video game company undersells their global presence as well as the fact that they build hardware in addition to software. My guess is that Nintendo or Sony have a much greater global presence than KP though I certainly could be wrong.
What a stupid headline. I have no idea how many times the size of Brazil is normal. Is this 3x as large? Is it 10 percent larger? The whole measure is completely meaningless.
But you are sure of this, even though there were no indications in that direction, and several in the opposite.
Dropdown Hover UX Improvement
Not sure this is worth an argument over semantics, but modern "embedded" development is a lot bigger than just microcontrollers and wearables. IMO as soon as you're deploying a computer into any kind of "appliance", or you're offline for periods of time, or you're running on batteries or your primary network connection is wireless... then yeah, you're starting to hit the requirements associated with embedded and need to seek established solutions for them, including using distros which account for those requirements.
at that point, why not just do FIDO2 with a YubiKey or something? eg https://www.ajfriesen.com/yubikey-ssh-key/ as long as you don't lose the YubiKey or the backup YubiKeys you're good.
I believe the fp64 limitation came from the laptop-grade GPU I had rather than inherent to AMD or ROCm.

The API level I could target was at least two or three versions behind the latest they have to offer.
And if you do that anyway, don't be a dingus.

Disconnect the fan cable from the socket so that the motor doesn't send pulses of energy back into your laptop. It probably won't harm it, but better safe than sorry.

I already find the narcissistic "welcome to you" message on the package inducing of extensive amounts of vomit. And then they only get $75k for this? I want them go DOWN.
ISA certainly isn't the most important factor, but your ISA has to be a good enough baseline. History is littered with ISAs that made bad enough choices that were limiting at the time (VLIW, Itanium) or handicapped future generations couldn't (MIPS delay slots).

Arguably x86 and arm are the "RISCiest CISC" and "CISCiest RISC" architectures, and have succeeded due to ISA pragmatism (and having the flexibility to be pragmatic without breaking compatibility) as much as anything else.

Not saying fail2ban is in any way state-of-the-art security or even best-practice at this point, but if they're burning an IP after a few bad attempts, that's going to be more effective than letting them try tens of thousands per IP, no? Security in layers of course, so even a few [dozen, hundred] failed SSH attempts should probably raise an alarm or put things into an elevated security mode automatically...but also don't leave SSH open to the public, especially not on :22.
People can generate a few good samples of what they want a character to look like and then interrogate clip to get a more detailed prompt that makes it more consistent.
It increases the prompt sizes a lot, but I don't think there's an easy way to solve this.

Maybe you could build a UI that semi-automates this process?
There was one in '99 - $800 for a whopping 1.2 MP image [1]. It did not do well [2], although to be fair there were a number of issues with that implementation:

> The lack of battery space, the need to open the camera to change ISO, White Balance or any other image setting, and the need to indicate a crop in the viewfinder if anything less than a full frame sensor is used, are all difficult to get around, especially considering that this had to work in more than one model of camera. And that made the large assumption that many modern photographers would be willing to live without a rear LCD to check their images.

iMessage is a "perpetual source of security concerns" because it is a remotely triggerable target. That's it.

If everyone is using message service X, then we'll start seeing more attacks on X.

The exploits we've seen over the last few years haven't been in iMessage the app, they've been in a host of different things. The most recent security brouhaha was apparently in the webp library[1] that also effected chrome, webkit, Firefox, every electron app, and I assume every app on android, iOS, macOS, that uses system image decoders, etc. But if you want a specific target then you aren't going to use something like a random webpage or phishing email if you have something that you can guarantee will go to only one device that you know is exploitable, and you can guarantee how it will be handled - i.e. the builtin system messaging apps.

[1] and even here the attack didn't happen from iMessage

I think you're essentially describing the hardware DRM supply chain.

For example, HDCP is a DRM scheme where Intel convinces (or legally requires) every manufacturer of HDMI output devices (e.g. set-top boxes, Blu-ray players) in the world to encrypt certain video streams.

Then, Intel requires manufacturers of HDMI input devices (e.g. TVs) to purchase a license key that can decrypt those video streams. This license agreement also requires the manufacturer to design their device such that the device key cannot be easily discovered and the video content cannot be easily copied.

Then, Intel gets media companies to include some extra metadata in video media like Blu-ray discs. This metadata can contain revoked device keys, so that if a TV manufacturer violates the terms of the license agreement (e.g. leaks their key, or sells a device that makes copies of video content), that manufacturer's TVs won't be able to play new content that starts including their key in the revocation list.

Of course, Intel's HDCP master key was either leaked or reverse-engineered, so anyone can generate their own valid device keys. Intel will probably sue you if you do this, I guess.
Congrats on the project, what you did looks nice but I have to say this: “brutalism” and “react” kind of clash in my mind. I understand you’re inspired by the brutalist aesthetics, but I read the very definition of brutalism as “not react”.
Also, engineering-ish small businesses, and universities, and the occasional non-profit saving money with dumb terminals where they'd otherwise need a PC on each desk.

I once paid ~$100 for Coherent (Unix-like) for my '286, then sent it back due to the 64KB process limit, while I used Unix workstations at an internship. My next home computer was to buy a used Sun-3/75 from the local Sun office, for a fraction of a what a PC would cost.
Why is it that someone who is trained as an intelligence officer and almost certainly knows how information system security / audit works often seems to make obvious mistakes in their attempt to defect to a foreign adversary? It seems odd that someone with this level of expertise would make obvious incriminating google searches and similarly send incriminating emails. Then again, we may only be learning of those who are (paradoxically) lacking in basic operational security.

Was this person perhaps hoping to get caught to raise awareness for their reports of corruption?
Consumer reports is still pretty good
Which is why the US Navy is pivoting it's battle fleet away from littoral operations and back towards blue-water sea control. The concept is to launch stand-off strike weapons and interdict sea lines of communication outside the range of shore defenses.

It's also questionable whether the Russian Navy experience is even relevant. They are simply incompetent and poorly equipped. NATO has been feeding the Ukrainians real-time targeting data which gives them a huge advantage.
Agreed. At the risk of a shitstorm of downvotes, tokenized media could be part of a solution, especially at the consumer level. Authenticate real videos via a mint button/QR that airdrops you a token from creator. May require platforms to opt-in tho. Basically trust nothing unless you can authenticate source onchain. Not great fo sho, but prob necessary soon
Well, it was in San Francisco. Is this something you do frequently? Don't waiters/waitresses confront you about it?

Have you gotten it to work with Whisper by any chance?
For high level and exec positions, I will almost certainly do backchannels. But I only do it if I or someone on my exec team is closely enough connected to the backchannel that I know and trust their opinion. The whole point of a backchannel is that it should be an even more trusted source than the gauntlet of interviews I've already put the candidate through.

Backchanneling on every candidate would be way too much. It's only worthwhile when its a high level and high impact role. Moreso, if you were to feel the need to backchannel on everyone, that basically means you dont trust your current team and interview process and should instead focus on that.

Cold backchannel make no sense to me. Not only does it not accomplish the goals of having a trusted and confidential source, but also I would not want this getting back to the candidate accidentally. That would be poor form.
I use fail2ban because I take break in attempts personally, especially when it's some script trying default logins one after another. It's insulting.
I hope so. I’ll probably tip much less (maybe 10%) when there when it’s in full effect. Which is probably too bad for waitstaff. They pulled in much more than minimum wage in most cases and most it wasn’t taxed. I had a friend that cleared $500/night working the Olive Garden back in the day. With this new scheme he’d make $250 if you cut tips in half which I think people will rationalize now.

Whoah! I didn't realize they were the same company!
The author addresses this and claims that it isn't good enough because they sometimes don't back-port fixes or don't back-port them fast enough.
Oh nice! I work at DESY (don’t know anything about this though)
I think an ideal input would be numeric keypad. Alternatively (in case numbers might be too many buttons), arrow left/right to move cursor and -/+ to adjust each digit individually, and the start/stop button (if pushed when the timer is already at zero, then it will silence, and then if pushed again without setting the timer, then it is counting up instead). The wheel (described there) and start/stop button, would be another way. Add the mode switch clock/alarm-set/timer/clock-set, and the alarm switch on/off, and light switch on/dim/off (or merely on/off), and possibly volume switch. Cover to avoid pushing the switches while it is closed.

But, I agree with them I don't like the hours/minutes button that many clocks have instead. Another thing that many clocks don't have, that I think would be helpful, is alarm test function. Both it can ensure that the sound is not broken and you can know how loud it is.

Last time I had went to a hotel, they did not have a clock. So, next time I will bring my own clock (but unfortunately, it makes some noise).

I had also made a program in uxn which includes clock/alarm/timer function. Input can be by keyboard, joypad, mouse, or touch screen (only one type of input is required, but assumes that the keyboard includes a mapping of the joypad buttons to some of the keys, too). It is 3490 bytes long (although it includes a full ASCII font, even though this program does not use the entire ASCII set, so some of it is wasted), and could hopefully run on many kinds of computers. Actually, it includes other functions too, including 12/24 hours switch, day of week display, timer counting down and up, timer recording, sound test, volume control, and Westminster Quarters. But, for a simple clock (with simple electronics) you do not need all of those things; the stuff listed in the article seems like mostly good (although I would do some things differently).
Yes, it is one sided because it’s so plainly obvious who the victim is here, who was acting in bad faith and who wasn’t. This is unethical and harmful behavior by the tenant and it should be illegal. Not hard to understand!

If I have to fall back on ChatGPT to respond, it means I may as well be silent… and that is an option.

No, but since they got common, Germany switched to the "Triebfahrzeug" terminology in operations, and it translates to "propell[ing/ed] car".
Yup. I see many resources for self-hosting recommend fail2ban for e.g. SSH. But I always disable password-based SSH logins on all of my computers. The one niche use case I can see for fail2ban is possibly reducing the amount of hits to /wp-login.php and /cgi-bin in your web server (or reverse proxy's) access logs.
California is the worst state for tipping as of today. [1]

"Don't use fail2ban because you don't need it if you do XYZ"

I'm not so sure that's a good reason to be honest. And if you're worried about CVE's, well, you'll be using handwritten, hand delivered notes before long. Keep your systems patched, keep them tidy, none of this is likely to affect you, fail2ban or not.
Damn, I had a hunch that the fact I when learned it in my comp sci degree it wouldn't be useful in the future. I think it was 2012 when I took the class >.>
Natural selection is a far different process than humans selectively editing genes. Even if we gained a perfect understanding of every species on earth (we haven't even come close to finding them all) and were somehow able to scale this to impact the entire planet's genome, the idea that humans are somehow going to be able to select traits better and orders of magnitude faster than nature is the absolute height of arrogance and this comment is a good example of the exact reason we are screwed.
The widget is also done very cleverly. It appears to be a regular HTML <video> element and a slider.
What I like to do is just not buy stuff
I tend to agree. I think we just vary somewhat in how aware we are of our internal processes, with most of those processes being unconscious.

For example, I am very adept at art, particularly color and shading, yet I struggle to consciously imagine color or shading. I can consciously imagine 3-dimensional shapes and rotate them, but I struggle with any other visual data.

And yet I demonstrably CAN generate other visual data because I can draw and paint things, even things I have never seen before.

Clearly my brain is actually doing that work, even if I am just not conscious of it, thus I don't ascribe aphantasia to myself. My brain is perfectly functional in this area.
Despite owning an (old) car, I do try to take public transit and ride my bike. I would love to see local, state, and federal governments invest more in public transit and bike infrastructure. I don't expect everyone to live car-free, but some people already do, and it would be great to make that lifestyle possible for more people. It would also be great see families that own 2 (or more) cars feel comfortable dropping down to just one car. Safer bike paths and more convenient public transit can do that.
Incidentally, along with other strengthened paywalls, this might impact HN's own acceptance of YT videos, which may not be generally available to many HN readers.

In 2023, youtube.com was the single most frequently appearing site on HN front-page stories (based on HN's front-page archive), with 105 stories (of 10,950), about 1% of the total. (Based on my HN front-page analysis.)

Edit: Corrected above from 10% as initially written.

As previously noted, the New York Times saw front-page appearances fall to 25% of its prior level after that site's paywall strengthened in August 2019.

I'm anticipating a large number of comments addressing YT's anti-ad-blocking rather than the contents of the video itself.
