You’ve never felt a good after a short bit of cardio or lifting heavy weights?

Besides my point was that most overweight people would lose weight simply walking around the block every day. That’s not asking people to go for a run when they weigh 250lbs+ which will always suck unless you very slowly work up to being able to run more than a half a block and wear knee supports.

The thing about working out daily is that the first 10min always sucks bad after but after you’re done it feels great - for the rest of the morning. Being depressed is harder in that mind state which feeds into more physical activity.

Like I said though you have to start small.
I keep hearing about how the US has lots of gun shootings. How does it compare to Israel? Genuine question.
(In a hypothetical world where any of this made sense) If Mexico invaded the USA and Canada offered to take in all US citizens, would you move?

As much as dislike the major idea behind it that push ( build a system to get Trump out -- mildly ridiculous to focus entire company around that ), there was one idea in there that did make sense:

- Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

I think that would change internet landscape a fair bit.

If you can’t operate responsibly in 300+ markets then don’t operate in 300+ markets? Seems sensible to me.

If an airline doesn’t have enough pilots to service 20 routes they reduce their routes, not let passengers fly the plane.
Class-based inheritance is IMHO overrated. Most of the time you're interested in specific behavior (what is the area under this shape?), rather than some abstract taxonomy (is square a specialized rect or is rect a generalized square?).

Composition and interfaces tend to produce less convoluted designs, and the most obnoxious problem with multiple inheritance ("diamonds") has to be explicitly addressed at the call site, rather than by meditating on the globally-determined method resolution order.
Have CAPTCHAs actually helped to solve or reduce automated fraud, card testing and disputes? Is there any evidence of that?
Nah, this is totally a normal retraction.
Good points, thanks for that. I'm more the old-school, server-side web guy from CGI and servlet days, who happens to like Haskell and related languages now. To that end, I haven't really been doing anything front-end at all, but would like to explore some of that.

I'm not even sure that HTMX isn't enough for my needs, so smaller and lighter is my definite preference. I suppose I should try more Elm now, and tinker with Purescript and GHCJS later. If it's all side projects, then I'm not really swapping anything unless it's a choice I'm making to explore new-to-me tech.
Securing the Bitcoin network is the useful work.
Agreed, but at that point, why have the edits anymore; particularly if you expect people to actually check.

Obscuring faces for privacy, cropping would no longer work. And even minor touchups like lighting would be of questionable value since you're expecting users not to look at the edited photo or at least to primarily look at the edited photo next to the original.

I suspect in practice that doing edits on top of a signed photo would be basically the same as not having editing capability at all; and even that's assuming users would compare the edited and non-edited versions at all, which is not a safe assumption in my mind given how hard it is to even get people to click into a full article past the headline.

I've seen fleurons used in blog posts as end of article mark. It's sort of a generic sign-off / chop, stuck inline to the last paragraph of the text. Usually, when used this way, they'll be styled in a different, lighter color than the text before them.

Obviously, an "end of article" marker isn't a thing that needs to exist — you know the article is over because there's no more article! But people putting extra "stuff" inline at the end of the last paragraph of an article, has a long history in printing anyway. Because people can be extra, and I suppose Unicode should support encoding the extravagancies of existing historical documents.
My setup was modeled after the precogs’ workstations in Minority Report.
The particular issue here is that is subjective as any other subjective definition. 100 IQ is subjective and a moving target. 100 IQ doesn't even mean you can survive and navigate in the real world. Even worse is all humans cannot do all tasks other humans can do and we'd consider them intelligent.

Furthermore this "must behave like a human" blindness represents both a danger, and a way to miss intelligence capabilities leaving them unused/under capitalized. Humans behave like humans because we have human bodies with particular sets of strengths and weaknesses. Other 'intelligent' actors with different embodiment will necessarily behave differently.

Couple that with humans have become far more intelligent and stronger by using tools, that the ability to 'universally' interface with external tooling, at least in my subjective opinion is what will be the defining factor of higher intelligences.

You have it oddly exactly backwards. I find that people that are not smart enough to understand Bitcoin generally respond by getting mad about Bitcoin or ignoring it.

People that first understand it eventually find Monero and BCH and start investing everything they can afford.

Of course idiots can be on both sides.

That just moves the problem from where to store the blockchain to where to store the concatenated hashes.

If this is some cloud provider, what are you getting from a blockchain? Just have the cloud provider do the certification. If they betray you or go out of business you've lost your hashes anyway.

If it's stored on the endpoint device, you can't prove it anymore if the device gets lost or damaged. In theory people could back them up, but we all know perfectly well that ordinary people are not going to do that unless it's automated.

So then you're back to storing them in a distributed system, i.e. making them a necessary part of the blockchain. And then it gets too big.
>Are you professing that we should pass on everyone that doesn't have a perfect record?

This is the entire focus of western American Christianity. The pervasiveness of this is built into our culture, and as a result the world culture (because we exported this insanity)

So what you get is a worldwide society of people who will use any human failing of a leader as proof of why all of what they did is wrong.

Pillaging Christians starting with the Inquisition created a perfect reference person for which everyone should be compared to which makes everyone not good enough ever. Only through the weekly blessing that you have to attend and confess to can you be temporarily saved from certain forever death

It's just so embedded into western culture that the source is not even recognized as the source.

> every additional partner had the potential to break big, important parts of our stack
...
> our distaste for contractual and technical lock-in grew dramatically

I learned this through osmosis at one financial-adjacent company I worked for. Every senior technical manager was extremely hostile to any third-party integration. I personally saw several product driven initiatives completely dropped because it would require even the slightest lock-in.

When I see posts on HN or Reddit where the startup mentions a tech-stack built entirely on third-party services, I cringe. That is one of my main frustrations with the current AI wave - where most businesses are only viable with a quality of AI that is available only through third-parties. I believe in 3-5 years we'll be reading a lot of blog posts just like this one telling the same story about how their AI startup was forced to fold due to some locked-in provider changing policies.
Paperless-ngx supports a folder on disk that you can drop files into and have them ingested. Throw in a samba container pointed at the same directory in your docker-compose and you’ve replicated the same setup.

> there is no evil intent

I think the only way to know this is to understand whether google’s rewrites also impact what ads are eligible to show.

E.g. if 50 advertisers are bidding on “children apparel” and only 10 advertisers are bidding on “kids clothes”, then rewriting to the query with more eligible ad impressions is misleading to both the user and the advertiser.

Certain keywords are more profitable than others. Google knows this. One sure-fire guaranteed way to increase revenue is to reduce the % of long tail searches (since long tail searches typically have no ads at all) by modifying queries and swapping words around.

If I were a desperate exec at Google, that’s the first place I would look if I was in a crunch to boost revenue short-term.
No one with a brain or in a position of power has ever made a legitimate claim that Monero or Bitcoin Cash is a scam.

Are you saying that the very lack of evidence for a conspiracy theory means it’s probably true?

People are free to believe what they choose to believe, but that doesn’t seem like an especially well grounded worldview.
You’re in the right mindset. I’d recommend a pivot from the “private citizen” persona to the “CTO persona”. As a CTO, I want a web browser based on open standards so that my company’s portfolio of products and internal business apps are protected from monopoly behavior by browser vendors.

Mozilla may have forgotten the CTO persona. CTOs can donate engineering hours to Mozilla. Companies can donate money. If companies in the Fortune 500 aren’t using Firefox internally and companies like Netflix aren’t recommending Firefox to users, then Mozilla will continue to struggle to get market share and sustain funding.

One key use case: Firefox used to make it easy to create corporate intranet apps (the apps teams at companies use to do work). However, Firefox security changes started breaking intranet apps by returning the “your connection is not secure” error and giving workers no way to override. This hurts CTOs so CTOs switch their companies to Edge & Chrome.
The implication is that you’re being unwittingly directly channeled to certain sellers sites, instead of to sites that link to various sellers, I guess.

So the path to a potential sale is shorter and you’re more likely to buy (less time to get decision fatigue), and certain vendors might be prioritized.

I think that’s what she is implying
Having a lot of experience wrangling prototypes in JS was a nice benefit to my first forays into lua, though I wrote more functional code than OO anyway.

Honestly, off by one errors due to indexing was a lot harder to shake than getting used to meta tables.

> you probably aren't famous so maybe you don't understand, but that sounds potentially harmful for someone who is.

I’m not so convinced. What harm does this account cause?

The most harmful thing that comes to mind is that someone could use the information to plan a murder. The account doesn’t provide this information; it is actually relevant that the information is otherwise available. A person so dedicated to hating this person that they decide to show up with violent intent at a public airport where his jet just landed or is about to take off is pretty damn likely to also be dedicated enough to find this information from other public sources. The account only makes it easier -- it doesn’t enable given that they’re already able -- for someone else to be actually harmful.

This talk of some billionaire gets to fly around in his private jet and the worst thing about it is that everyone else in the world gets to know when and where the jet arrives and departs... it’s just not something I have any sympathy for.
>"First, we will define the space as a grid of cells. We want to smoothly move paints, or different colors, around in this space. To do this, we will use two maps, specifically two 2D arrays, to capture the information for each cell. The color map stores the color values of each cell, while the velocity map stores a vector that represents the velocity, i.e. the information about the speed and direction of the water flow in each cell."

First of all, great article!

Second, there's something weird-but-interesting going on in the quote I've highlighted, above...

First, we have Conway's Game Of Life:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

To recap, Conway's Game Of Life is sort of like a one array (representing the screen), 2D simulation.

Whereas the above fluid simulation uses two arrays, two maps, in 2D...

My question, my curiosity, is simply this:

What would happen if we used three or more arrays, three or more maps, in 2D?

Like, n-maps, n-arrays (the "higher dimensional generalization" if you will...) to represent things other than velocity...

What would our simulation look like, then?

For example, some interesting things to play with, in this space, might include (but not be limited to, as Lawyers would say!): Acceleration, Jerk, Snap, Crackle and/or Pop:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth_deriv...

Basically, if velocity is the first derivative of position (and thus should go in the second (n+1) array or map), then maybe other derivatives can go in the higher dimensional map appropriate to them.

Oh sure, they could be computed on-the-fly too... but that's no fun!

In fact, what might be interesting might be to see side-by-side graphics of higher-dimensional maps along with the base-level map, as the simulation (be it Life or Fluid Dynamics or ?) evolves!

What could be discovered?

Well, I as-of-yet don't know obviously... but it seems like these concepts should mesh together somehow...

Anyway, great article!
> But humans can have a discussion about what is natural and what is not, and decide to mitigate it.

(1) accuracy or fit for purpose, not natural, is the issue.

(2) evaluation, not having a discussion, is the issue.

(3) LLMs can definitely do evaluation, and probably can also have discussions and decide to, if given a proper prompt and access to ground truth in the first case, and if also used in a properly constructed agent framework, for the second.

(4) if you did all that, and used LLM decisions and not human decisions to guide retraining, I suspect with current LLMs you’d actually have made the problem worse not better, because you’d reduce the influence of higher-capacity and more diverse humans on the training cycle and increase the influence of less diverse, lower capacity LLMs.
Pretty interesting research. I've had a ~97 normal temperature my whole life and I remember doctors telling me that was quite low and asking questions about how I was feeling etc

Culture is not the same thing as national identity.

And as a practical matter, no, the US is very good at assimilating immigrants. (Which is usually a good thing! But in this context would be cultural genocide. Or cultural suicide on the part of the Israelis/Ukrainians.) The overwhelming majority would be monolingual English speakers and intermarrying within three generations.

Of course there will always be objections to any change. Everything is a trade-off. But if you wanted a truly secure device, you have to start with idea that every customer gets the same thing - a truly blank slate. It's only recently, and with incredible device density, that this assumption has changed. The fact that manufacturers CAN put extra CPUs and CAN put unique hidden, immutable data in your computer does mean it MUST be so. This is simply the path we've been going down for about the last 20 years or so. It doesn't mean we have to keep going down that path.

I'd also add that computers have multiple CPUs, and an FPGA and an M1, for example, could coexist, with the FPGA serving as the BIOS and firmware repository. I think there are real and frankly chilling reasons why manufacturers will not take this approach, and it's not because of economics. A truly free device is a threat to the establishment.

Ask HN: As a vendor or developer, what's your experience with bug bounties?
I've been involved in various bug bounty programs from the researchers side, but I've never sat on the other side of the table and been the one receiving the reports. So for those who have, I'm interested to know how your experience has been.

Have you found the programs to be beneficial and useful overall? Do you get enough high-quality engagement to make up for the time taken up by junk reports? Is it feasible to do your own triage, or have you had to outsource that?

And most importantly: would you recommend that other organisations sign up to a bug bounty program, and if so, what advice would you give them?
You do realize that people heavily speculate on the price of dollars, stocks, real estate, etc., don't you? ;-)

This series is an interesting view into Meta's internal policies - but historically it lacks a great of context and doesn't explain the roots of the conflict that led to the mass exodus of Rohingya people from Myanmar - in fact the author is almost entirely silent on a key issue that exacerbated the situation: Saudi-Pakistani efforts to run a regime change operation based in the Rohingya region. See Reuters, 2016:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-myanmar-rohingya/myanmars...

> "“Though not confirmed, there are indications he went to Pakistan and possibly elsewhere, and that he received practical training in modern guerrilla warfare,” the group said. It noted that Ata Ullah was one of 20 Rohingya from Saudi Arabia leading the group’s operations in Rakhine State. Separately, a committee of 20 senior Rohingya emigres oversees the group, which has headquarters in Mecca, the ICG said."

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

That certainly doesn't justify the response of the Myanmar government, but it helps explain it to some degree - imagine the US political response if, say, US border facilities were attacked by an Iran-based group that killed a dozen US border guards.

Entirely neglecting this background is just bad journalism, and also distorts the role of Meta. It's highly unlikely, given this information, that a rigorous censorship strategy on Meta would have changed the outcome much if at all. A more rational conclusion is that the Myanmar government viewed the Rohingya people as a potential base for Saudi/Pakistani-backed terror groups to launch attacks within Myanmar, and that was the root cause of the expulsion, and that social media-based propaganda efforts were not that important in understanding what happened.

I'm also in favor of free speech over censorship - it's very easy to demonstrate in an open conversation that mindless hatred of others based on their ethnic/religious/racial background is simply the product of ignorance and immaturity.
This never happened as far as I can tell.
