Interesting use of the concept of "false alert" -the Hawaii Missile alert was valid, well formed and conformed to protocol in the Layer1 and Layer2 senses. It was a message which was capable of being sent and acted on by software systems.

The problem was, it wasn't initiated through the auspices of the channels which are permitted to approve a message. So, it was "false" in the higher layer senses, not in the actual formal structure, more in the process chains.

Ronald Reagan hot-microphone "I declared war on Russia" as a sound check is a bit more in the "false" space. Or, that txt message Abraham Lincoln sent about trust on the internet.

To me, the falsity begs a layer question. If the lower layers are well formed, the falsity has to lie in the higher layer processes. It was a falsely authorised message. It was sent over the correct channels, injected by the correct endpoints. It just wasn't what had been approved to be sent. (if approved at all) -Thats not "false" thats "unapproved"

The problem is as much with the name, as with the formalisms around sending. If you want this to really be a presidential alert then wire it to some MFA which is bound to the current occupant of the role. If its just that guy getting his guy to call some guy who approves a tech at AT&T sending a message, then it shouldn't have been called a presidential message.

(hats off to the authors of the paper who did some stellar work on spoofing a send event, and show how it would work in a small radius of a transmitter in an event like a football game)
> The only reason v6 is dual stack is because they're changing all the existing addresses and routing. If you're only creating a second header format that everything is updated to support, it can be mostly unified. Routing tables etc would all shared.

A new header format is a new version of IP. That's how it was designed. That's the compatibility story of IP. There is no way (there never was a way) to change the IPv4 header format without incrementing the version number. There is no way to not create a "second" stack when you increment the version number. Different versions are always different "stacks". They are always going to have different mechanics and need different hardware.

All the other things that IPv6 changed didn't make it a different stack. Making a version 6 at all made a new stack and all the other things were changed to throw in additional improvements (and make things simpler) since there needed to be a different stack anyway. If version 6 had changed "just" the header it still would have been just as hard to upgrade to, but people would have even fewer reasons to upgrade.
How is Bruno different from using REST-Client or similar tools?
Looks like it can’t handle RAML or OpenAPI so it can only be an additional tool, never the primary one. I really like what they are doing, especially with the CLI client but it’s not really an API documentation. The documentation feature in Postman was very nice, as OpenAPI is not powerful enough here
If you're using type aliases or type inference you don't have to type out the long type, but when you get the error that you need `Foo<Bar<Baz<...<&Whatever>>>` but you have `Foo<Bar<Baz<...<&&Whatever>>`, you'll still have to spend 20 minutes dealing with it.

I think TS is a special case, since you can "just say no", but in languages with a statically typed runtime/no runtime I try to minimize the amount of <> in a type, even if they're hidden behind a type alias or inference.
For one, this definitely seems like a submarine ad for the AI tool (imagetwin, henceforth called AIT for AI tool to not give them too much more free press). Not sure if Nature has an angle (probably also free scans) but they gave the researcher free access to the AIT per the preprint disclaimer [0]. Also, it's not really giving you enough info to asses whether the AIT is better, because it's basically PR, so allow me:

For one, the fact-checking against the AIT per the preprint is "Duplications highlighted by ImageTwin.ai were evaluated as appropriate or inappropriate by80
one reviewer (the author)". Not a great way to reduce false-positives given the conflict of interest (more free scans for the author!) and the fact he'd already reviewed most of the offenders.

Also, the article says the AIT missed four papers the author flagged. But in the preprint the category with "At least one inappropriate duplication was identified during the manual review, none were highlighted by the ImageTwin.ai software" has 34 members. Per the author's results text, out of 715 papers with images, the author caught 34 inappropriate duplications the AIT missed, the AIT caught 57 inappropriate duplications that the author subsequently agreed were bad, and they both caught 24 together. But these numbers disagree with the venn diagram shown in figure 3 and referenced in the conclusion, which the Nature article also references. So... am I missing something or is that inconsistent? And were there any AIT flagged papers that the author disagreed were problematic or not?

AIT charges a pretty non-trivial amount per scan, at high volume it's still >$2 before you get to custom pricing [1]. It was "only" 2-3x faster than the researcher, and at least per the article it still needs to be checked for false positives. Taking some normal researcher pay and reasonable estimates for the rate at which they can review papers, it seems like the AIT is pretty damn expensive and might be priced competitively to "research intern".

This technology has existed for a really long time in the form of reverse image search. Google launched it in 2011, later neutered it (probably not profitable enough), but Yandex still has a pretty good one since 2014 [2]. Overall this seems like a pretty sloppy preprint with an obvious conflict of interest, and a tool that doesn't have any apparent innovation beyond commercializing a probably-underserved vertical.

And - price is ridiculously high. $1000+ for what? I don't know about others but my phone camera is only used for scanning QR codes rarely or taking occasional pictures of family (not a picture every hour) which even lower range phones (300 USD or so) do damn decent given it's not dark.

My 98% of the usage is to read something. Some website, email or ebook. Why do I need 120 Hz display for that? Gaming? That's always going to be inferior to even a console let alone a gaming PC.
I think when lay people say "peer reviewed research" they mean it as a metanym for "the scientific consensus as established by empirical research and vigorous debate," which isn't absolute fact to be sure, but is about as sturdy a foundation as you can hope for. I think I know more about peer review and retractions than most people - and I know next to nothing.
Maybe for context, the fact that high-ranking public servants in the West are known as "Mandarins" should indicate the reputation of Chinese government officials for political intrigue.

Your quote from the article does not suggest what you seem to think it suggests.

The Greeks definitely were able to prove the Pythagorean theorem, and the Greeks definitely though Pythagoras specifically knew how to prove it: e.g. Proclus II states this in writing explicitly, as does Euclid 300 years later, and numerous ancient sources inbetween. It would be hard for this not to be the consensus. We can't know if Pythagoras really did, simply because we have no surviving writings directly from Pythagoras - as I stated explicitly in my previous post.
Excellent article; thank you for sharing. It dates back to 2005, and the following caught my eye:

> PR people fear bloggers for the same reason readers like them. And that means there may be a struggle ahead. As this new kind of writing draws readers away from traditional media, we should be prepared for whatever PR mutates into to compensate.

Alas, the days of "bloggers are more authentic than the print media" are long gone. The PR people are now everywhere: blogs, social media, messaging apps, movies, OTT series etc. The "crap" pervades all media, not just print. The PR has indeed mutated as predicted.

Basically, the general guidance in this post now applies to _anything_ you read.

This isn't a deficiency of LAN games, it's a deficiency of the observer mode Blizzard added to the game when they remastered it. The code they wrote to deal with stealthed units as an observer mistakenly changes the actual game state when you change player vision (i.e. set the game to only show one player's vision), which leads to the game state desyncing for the observer that does this. I run a project (ShieldBattery) where we've developed numerous patches to the game including a fix for this bug, but pro games don't use our stuff so they're stuck with the bug unless Blizzard decides to maintain the game again.

The "pray you fixed them all" refers to the fact that you can't really for sure since someone can do

Apple have form for some very odd stray vibrations around their macbook and being on charge. It's a not-electric-but-you-think-it-is thing around soft-touching their brushed aluminium case, sometimes.

The "gosh, this is hot" thing when its on charge has been an issue from time to time, as the magsafe ages out, or some component on the mac board. Apparently its caused by HF on top of the desired DC, leaking out the componentry somehow as mechanical vibration.

What I find remarkable, once again, about psychedelic drugs is their high reliability in creating transformative experience. Perhaps it is this rather than the transformative experience itself that is key.

I suspect the biggest concern operating off of an earthen runway is ingestion of FOD. For unimproved runways the 737 Classic could be fitted with so-called gravel kits to reduce the chances of ingesting crap from the runway on takeoff. That's why you still see 737-200s in service in the wintery parts of Canada – the fans on the NG and MAX (and A320) are too big to make gravel kits practical.

However, where the weight itself is an issue, Indian Airlines (now Air India) ordered some A320s with beefier landing gear precisely to operate something that heavy off of less than great paved runways.

Ural's not going to have much in the way of manufacturer support though so their options are a bit limited.
How real are the security risks? My wife is using Oneplus 5t about 6 years old. It doesn't feel slow, cam may not be greatest, but pretty good. Battery life is one day with mild usage. It is stuck on Android 10, but play services and apps are updated.
I would indeed expect them to ensure a good fit in response to my doing so. And my doing research actually saves them time doing so, because I included similar information about me. For someone who didn't, why would the company offer it in response?

If someone isn't that interested in that specific job, and would take just any job, they shouldn't do it, but someone who wants that specific job more, will

That's one risk they take by adopting the scattershot, "impersonally apply to so many jobs simultaneously that you need AI to automate it" approach. Another one is getting a job somewhere that ends up being a bad fit

I'll also note that cultural fit can be important for job satisfaction and/or effectiveness, even though you mock the concept as 'the candidate telling how the company is greatest thing that have ever existed and why they love to join it so much...'.

Ask HN: What are the most liquid software markets?
Here a "software market" is anywhere software is bought and sold.
At a certain point all software needs to be maintained. Interfaces change, the environment it operates in changes, etc. You can handle that with a level-of-effort support contract. At what point do you say "it's done!" have the development team move out, and have the support people come in?

You could say "requirements are satisfied", is the threshold but those always change on a project. You need to predict what you need in the future. No one is good at that, but the fact that some may be lucky does not imply that it's possible. Doing it right in a schedule based environment means contract renegotiation. This could be expensive and many times its easier for the customer to bypass management and convince the engineers to take on more scope for free. This happens all the time, project managers need to be vigilant! But vigilance does not build value, it just creates avenues for conflict.

Regardless of what your methodology is, every successful project will become a "unknown deadline, flexible features" product at some point in its life-cycle. Why are we bifurcating that stage at an arbitrary point based on faulty assumptions made months and years in the past? What agile does is it moves the arbitrary bifurcation point to t=0 and avoids classes of zero-sum customer-management-worker conflicts.
Do you truly believe that the turnaround time for you contacting support, speaking to a first-tier support agent, having the request escalated to engineering, having a support engineer triaging it to the right team, and finally having the report being gauged so urgent that it pages the oncall for that team, is faster than automated infrastructure monitoring that the teams already have?

For something as core as DNS, I'm sure engineers were aware about the issue within minutes. There's a lot of politics and processes between that and public acknowledgment of an incident.
Yes, when people in the 4000s write clickbait holonet articles about how the Master Theorem of Neural Network Scaling was not actually invented by the Muskovites of Mars, but was found written on an Ancient American tablet containing the works of Hoffmann et al., I hope somebody will offer substantial corrections.

That's not in any sense a value judgment of the empirical work done at DeepMind. Nor does it stop anybody from writing a better article which explains that the Babylonians (and many others) used the empirical observations underlying the theorem, while explaining that this did not constitute mathematical proof.

Do we know if any of this has been patched since the paper in 2019? One could hope…
That's exactly it, and that is what is so hard to get other people to understand. It's a random word generator. It can't 'hallucinate' or 'confabulate' anymore than dice can. It cannot possibly be wrong or incorrect.

Those of us who've played D&D or something similar are familiar with rolling dice, say a 10-sided die and a 6-sided die, and cross-referencing the results against a table to generate random monster encounters, treasure, etc.

If you roll a die to determine how many gold pieces an orc is carrying, and you roll a 5, that is the result. You don't claim that the dice was hallucinating or confabulating or got the facts wrong or whatever. It's a random generator, and it generated a random number, and that result is truthfully the result it generated.

LLMs are also random generators. They're not databases of facts, they're not mathematical calculators. They are like the D&D random generation tables, only developed deeply enough such that they can string together randomly generated words into coherent sentences and paragraphs.

That sentence/paragraph is just as true as the result of rolling some dice. If you roll an 11, then you rolled an 11. The dice didn't hallucinate it, confabulate it, lie about it, or get it wrong. The true result is that you rolled an 11. If you wanted to roll a 12, too bad. You were unlucky. The dice weren't somehow magically 'wrong'.

And an LLM is not somehow magically wrong or incorrect or hallucinating or even confabulating when it gives you an answer that isn't what you wanted. It's randomly generating text. And its answer is every bit as correct as the result of rolling dice or drawing a card.

I 3d printed a stand for my watch which embeds the charging puck, and so whenever I take it off for any reason, it just goes on the stand. It doesn't even really stand out as a task unnatural enough to need tolerating, kinda at the level of hanging your clothes on a hook/hangar after changing.

For all other situations, I just have to stick the watch to the back of my phone to charge it, so don't even need to carry around a separate watch charger.
Thanks for asking! You may edit the legacy function implementation. These shenanigans are done to enable providing a new protocol that spans two different set of functions in a way that is a) backward compatible, b) forward compatible.

Say you have functions A and B that do roughly the same, so you refactor them into a function C and then redefine A() { C(); } B() { C(); }. So far good. But if B() is part of the API, some client could have defined auxiliary methods on B - normally they won't be called when C() is invoked directly. Moreover imagine that C() is also now part of the API and some new client could have defined auxiliary methods on C() - normally they won't be called when B() is invoked directly.

So either you need to specify that the old API is obsolete (so old programs doesn't work), or abandon the idea of exporting the new API. With a proxy generic function you may retain the old API and the new API at the same time without further duplicating functionality.
I use DDG as my main search engine for several years now. It used to be that google results were better, but for more than a year now I've found the google results to be worse. I hardly ever do !g these ays. Recently I did a comparison between google, DDG and Kagi and to my surprise for the handful of terms the results were very similar, where DDG with ads turned off usually gave the best results. That included searches for stuff like Kreditkarte which I guess is a lucrative search term. I live in Germany, that does affect things.
