Cancel Culture in Hacker News
Since the start of the conflict I've seen how hackernews moderators have been flagging, down-voting and removing from the front page links that are not aligned with the western propaganda.

I was very naive with this community. There is brilliant people and brilliant discussions, but we are all afraid to the repercussions.

Companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Stripe, Intel, Siemens, Sequoia Capital boycotting Web summit for a more than a reasonable post of the "resigned CEO" saying "war crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies" shows the hypocrisy of these companies.

We keep improving the technology but we are loosing all the humanity.

I'm very sad and hopeless
I have an uncomfortable amount of money, so uncomfortable it makes flying in a helicopter a pipe dream.

Guess I'll have to drive my kid to football practice in a plain ol' car. I know, car's are very 1999.
Thanks for the insight. I wonder how much of it is the brain. Normally the acoustic processing inside our heads is capable of reducing unfocused sounds by around 12 dB (a phenomenon described with the term "Cocktail Party Effect"). So I wonder what happens when the hearing focuses on the ubwanted stuff instead.

As for cinemas: Unless you go to weird off the beat venues the listening levels should be those specified by the mixing engineer in the studio. Most cinemas have dolby certifications, which means the engineer in the studio will hear nearly exactly what you hear.

The levels within cinema productions are painstakingly kept below any levels considered harmful by both the industry and the law for obvious reasons. That however doesn't mean it will be equally pleasant to all people or that there are some people with special hearing conditions where it might come across as downright hostile (like you).

If this happens often to you I'd suggest investing into decent hearing protection. I have one with me at all times, despite being relatively insensitive to sounds and levels that would put other people at the edge of their seats.
UDP is needed exactly for real time data, like voice calls and games.

TCP cannot do it. It's in order by design, which makes it useless for timely data.

If anything UDP should have higher QoS.

It’s India. The land of the thrifty, always looking for a deal (cultural stereotype). It’s the reason so many US companies have a hard time breaking into that market though.

My boss and I spent several weeks in India talking to people and learning the cultural basics just to figure out how to price our products. If you want to sell there, you need extremely competitive pricing with discounts, in a very price-sensitive market. Like, if you know the coupon culture in the US, it’s like that times 100.
This is a great question. Actually, I have two opinions about this:
- It is not economically useful for foundational model providers to build this, or at least integrate it with their products, because it will cost them double. They would prefer RLHF and something intrinsic to their models.
- Our dataset is proprietary. We have to collect and write a huge number of prompts to fine-tune it well. And our model is not 100% LLM, we use a version of the evolutionary algorithm to control the quality.

I would say we have a tiny moat of data and algorithm. But at the end of the day, it is about delivering something people find useful. If we could be replaced, let it be. But it works for now.

TCP's throttling mechanisms are quite coarse compared to what is described above, and they don't measure packet latency, only packet loss (after suitable timeout).

I love the concept of advertising-free cities! It's actually the advertising situation with public transport that I have found particularly frustrating where I am. For instance, some bus seats have transport maps on the ceiling above them, but others have private advertisements. Likewise, some stations have dozens of electronic advertising boards where they could have timetables. Perhaps they could at least have a button on them to switch them momentarily to a map or timetable.

I wonder how many millions of people have missed their train/bus connection because they couldn't find a departure board among the billboards.
I remember playing Uplink as a child as well. Pretty great game.

I wonder if it inspired the creation of imgui at all. Or what kind of engine the game had because it had pretty compelling UI capabilities, stuff I hoped to see on UI frameworks of the future.
Thank you for your reply. Could you give us more details on that idea?
If they're in group messages all the other parties will have copies. You can ask them to send them again.
So many transactions are flagged as false positives (way more than 1%), while there are a lot of false negatives because the tools don't improve as quickly as the scammers. The case for blocking transactions is getting weaker - we should instead strengthen the post-fraud response mechanisms, and then analyse the additional data we gain.

Arguably this is currently more of a bug instead of a feature given it’s used primarily for crime and scams. Government regulation over money flows has legitimate purposes and is not pure repression.
I don't see how it hinges on the market share. If Windows had a market share of 30% those 30% would still be better off if they had greater choice. People are locked into operating systems for all kinds of reasons. A lot of people use an operating system because they say, depend on an Office Suite or a piece of music creation software or to play video games. Why should this dictate their browser engine?

Mind you people on Apple systems can still use Safari, people on Windows will always be able to use Edge etc, but there is no coherent argument for not putting more equal choices in front of a user across systems. All these companies make general purpose computing devices, there is no downside for the consumer in having control over them.

To let a company be anti-competitive and lock down a platform, so people have to use their proprietary software rather than being able to run a real version of Firefox or Chrome is completely backwards.
Well I meant any character I could type (and find again easily for the second one) that would be unique within the comment and not give me italics, but sure.

Lack of agency causing depression? Makes perfect sense to me. Helicopter parenting, particularly of teenagers, is like locking an animal into a cage.
This has just unlocked a childhood memory of mine. I read a book as a young child about a girl and her grandfather who did experiments about space and time. The girl's name was Gedanken. It explored some of Einstein's theories in the form of short adventures. I've been struggling to find the name of the book. Does anyone else remember this book?
I think that is true. And I also think the future would be automated by the algorithm but the human will still be a significant part in deciding the outputs. Humans cannot be replaced 100% unless big corps create something truly AGI.
AWS has started using it internally recently, but the biggest Lean software project remains Lean 4 itself, which is almost entirely written in Lean 4 (though not verified except for some index operations and data structures). Galois has used Lean 4 internally, too, and I know of another smaller verification project by a German company for verifying some internals that were very difficult to understand.

One reason for lack of adoption is that the verified standard library for programming is still rather small. Fortunately, it is expected to grow much more quickly now that there are developers who are getting paid to work on it and I expect that we will likely see a lot more on this front in the coming years.
Isn't geometric algebra simply a more general theory that actually encompasses complexes and quaternions?
With the main difference that it sound way cooler.
I believe you're referring to the stateless retry mechanism? It's designed to be used only when the server is actually under attack (either as an amplification vector or exhaustion of its own connection capacity). The idea is that the server establishes some threshold for pending QUIC connections, and only if that is exceeded does it start requiring clients to complete the extra stateless, SYN-cookie style roundtrip to validate their source address. So it maintains the advantage of one less roundtrip than TCP+TLS unless the server is receiving large amounts of connections that are not progressing in a timely manner.
Someday. Please.
I assume you are talking about the current conflict in the Middle East. That is generally off topic per the guidelines.

Israel vs Palestine is an old conflict with few updates but troop movements and body counts.
If you read through the first 8 chapters of Genesis, you'll see that in the beginning God's creation was perfect, without any of the evil you reference.

Then you'll see that because humans are intrinsically human, this idea of sin, a disease if you will, infects all of existence and the clock of entropy begins to wind down. And now humans know the difference between good and evil, and with that knowledge comes the ability to choose evil.

> inquest of Adam and Eve

Hear me out; God created genetically perfect humans at the beginning, capable of yielding all the variety we see today (and more, who knows how many branches of humanity have been completely wiped out through the years). It wasn't until the Mosaic law was handed down that what we call "incest" was outlawed. I will presume that this was about the time that genetic diversity had narrowed to the point of producing overly damaged offspring.

> Did God create heaven?

Yes.

> Did God create hell?

That depends on which one you're talking about. He created all but one hell. The one He didn't create is merely His absence.

> Did God create "taking babies from their crying mothers actually levels them up out of the world of suffering"; did God create death and suffering?

By one man sin entered the world. The answer is no, God did not create these things.
First, I want to emphatically agree - an Israeli life isn't worth any more than a Palestinian life.

> Hamas has given Israel a good reason to strike back but not indiscriminately and in retribution

I want to argue against your framing here, because that is not how Israelis see things. At least the normal ones don't think of it as "striking back in retribution" or anything like that.

The thing is, Hamas has declared war on Israel. They slaughtered 1400 people, took hostages, and are actively and continually firing rockets at Israel. There's been 3 weeks of rocket attacks. Luckily Israel has lots of defensive capabilities to block these kinds of attacks, but they are actively waging a war in the hopes of killing as many Israelis as possible.

So the situation from Israel's perspective is - we are bordering a semi-state, whose government is intent on destroying Israel, have shown themselves capable of killing many Israelis, and is continuing to wage war. What should Israel do? The only response that most Israelis come to, which is what any other country in the world would do when faced with a similar situation, is to attack the enemy country until it doesn't have the capability to hurt you anymore.

It's not some kind of "tit for tat" terrorist attack. It's literally a bordering country intent on destroying you and actively trying to do so.

And btw, people seem to think that Israel is all-powerful or something here and can just choose whatever response it wants - but several other countries are actively threatening to join the war and attack Israel all at once. It's as if Mexico invaded the States, killed thousands of Americans, was firing rockets at American cities, and Canada was threatening to join in the war. What kind of response would make sense in this context?

I mean that sincerely - what do you think Israel should do given this current situation? Because I sure as hell don't have a better idea than "try to destroy Hamas before they kill me".
I do not think most games are ‘fun’: they give you dopamine rushes through achievements. In a horror game it is survival to the end, same with survival games. In an fps it is achieving a level or part and staying alive or being very efficient. With an rpg it can be discovery of new things or abilities.
What for one person is fun for another can be tedious. It is exactly this balance you need to find for your target audience.
The wider the target audience often the less in-depth a game goes to prevent tediousness.
As a developer, JavaScript does not scale due it lacking static checkability and for some, performance.
So we slap TypeScript on top, which mostly solves this problem.
But starting a massive browser UI project today, I think Qt on WASM + WebGPU makes a lot of technical sense.
That would have the added commercial benefit of making ad blocking harder. Although the binary could be cracked by a modified browser.

The problem result from the ability to forge a fake origin IP address. This can be avoided by adding a certificate for the IP address. It adds a processing and size overhead, but it also preserves the single round trip transaction.
Interesting that the study author attributes the decline in teen suicides from 1990 to 2005 to technology. [1]

In particular, he says that adults considered children (especially boys, who make up the large majority of teen suicides) to be knowledgeable about computers, which gave the kids agency.

I'd literally have to find the press releases from the day they announced R2, which kinda goes into depth on it a bit (and I can't find it). But logically, why wouldn't they do a 180? It has to be eating into their margins. Wholesale costs alone would estimate that it's eating 15-20% of their revenue.

Remember when Uber used to be cheaper than a taxi? It's the same issue, different market; there is so much being subsidized by other money that if they ever run into any financial issues, hire the wrong executive, or simply get market dominance ... they'll shift this all to the customer.

WebTransport requires an established HTTP3 (and therefore QUIC) connection or an established HTTP2 (and therefore TCP) connection, so its vulnerability to reflection attacks corresponds to the vulnerability of the underlying handshakes.

Geometric algebra is the only intuitive explanations of quaternions that I have seen, since geometric algebra actually explains what quaternions are much better.

You can then see that rotations using rotors (from geometric algebra aka "quaternions") are then basicaly two consequitive mirror operations across two vectors.
Copilot is just synthesis of man-made code. If a lot of code is written with bad security practices, Copilot will replicate those practices.
”The book you're remembering is likely "Mr. Tompkins" by George Gamow. The series features the character Mr. Tompkins, but in "Mr. Tompkins in Paperback" (which combines "Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland" and "Mr. Tompkins Explores the Atom"), he has a daughter named Gedanken. The stories are known for their accessible exploration of advanced scientific concepts, including those related to Einstein's theories, through fantastical adventures.”

None of the translations say that: https://biblia.com/bible/esv/leviticus/20/13

It's pretty black and white that the Bible condemns homosexuality, there is no rationalization required.

The rationalization is the other way around. Many Christians no longer believe that homosexuality is wrong and they are faced with having to abandon the Bible as a guide for morality or coming up with complex interpretive efforts to align the text with modern moral perspectives.

Of course, most Christians chose the latter option or abandon the Old Testament, which is almost impossible to defend by modern moral standards, and stick with the New Testament which is a bit more vanilla.
How do you do that and still allow access from anyone without any prior configuration?
Amplification attacks would still be a problem even if ISPs were to de-prioritize UDP traffic (for which there is exactly 0 reason, but that's another matter). They would still impact anyone talking over UDP, effectively saturating the "UDP link" even if they leave TCP unaffected. And there are some pretty important protocols people actually care about that work over UDP - DNS and RTP în particular.

Finally, in an ideal internet, ISPs would not have actually cared whether they are transporting UDP or TCP or SCTP or whatever else. The fact that it's basically impossible to send an IP packet that is not one of the blessed protocols over the Internet is already a major corruption of the stack model. Further gimping UDP to make TCP the only viable option would be crazy.
Kung Fu Cooking Movies – Video Essay
It does matter. You don't have to link with the kernel, or support the C ABI. You're still tied to C with libc. It's especially bad on Linux because glibc is so awful.

Forcing libc has absolutely nothing to do with type safety. How do you think they invoke syscalls in libc? There's no more type checking of syscalls there than there is in Go's standard library. From a user's point of view it's identical, except you don't have to worry about endless glibc version errors with Go.

That's only on the bank's side. There's a major problem where the merchant later cancels the transaction on their side despite successful 3D-Secure.

Either 3DS doesn't actually offload liability (so even accepting a fully 3DS-verified transaction is a risk), or merchants aren't up to date on what they are and aren't liable for.

>I read this as an statement of surprise or astonishment based in the belief that Tesla should know more about labor relations in the EU, but for some reason does not appear so.

This is the sentiment I am pushing back on. It seems very arrogant for amateur internet posters to think they know more than the tesla legal team and tesla management team after reading about the topic for 2 minutes.

It is fine to not understand the tesla position, and fine to not not agree with with the morality.

I just dont think it is reasonable for people to assume they are more knowledgeable about the detail simply because they dont understand or agree.

It reduces to "I dont understand their actions, so they must be stupider than me", which I think is a foolish response, but unfortunately quite common.

Tesla is the one with access to their cost modeling for hiring scabs and the legal team. They know the long term costs of union agreements, and if they spread to other countries. They have teams of lawyers.

But no, surely some posters are quick to believes they have a better understanding of the tradeoffs Tesla faces.
