I think you might want to read the article.

it's about binary bit by bit
reproducibility of not just the binaries but also how they get packed into an iso (i.e. r13y.com is outdated, the missing <1% where also as far as I remember a _upstream_ python regression as reproducability of binaries (ignoring the packaging into an iso) was already there a few years ago)

now when it comes to packages beyond the core iso things become complicated to compare due to the subtle but in this regard significant different ways they handle packages, e.g. a bunch of packages you would find on arch in aur you find as normal packages in nix and most of the -bin upstream packages are simply not needed with nix

in general nix makes it easier to create reproducible builds but (independent of nix) this doesn't mean that it's always possible and often needs patching which often but not always is done if you combine this with the default package repository of nix being much larger (>80k) then e.g. arch (<15k non aur) comparing percentages there isn't very useful.

through one very common misconception is that the hash in the nix store path is based on the build output, but it's instead based on all sources (weather binary not) used for building the binary in an isolated environment

this means it has not quite the security benefit some people might think it has, but in turn is necessary as it means nix can use software which is non reproducible buildable in a way which still produces reasonable reproducable deplyments (as in not necessary all bits the same but all functionality, compiler-cfgs, dependencies versions, users, configurations etc. being the same
ive been watching the netflix show sex education and it is always the most boring and uninteresting when the characters are talking about or otherwise having sex. the show is much more interesting when it focuses on the actual relationships between the characters.

> and so the researchers cannot definitively say that Mars ever had a magnetic field

We know that Mars had a dynamo-effect in the past from various measurements of the magnetization in its crust, indicating that it had a magnetic field.

I think you mean "get started with it"? It's not easy to win against a competitor with a 25 year head start.
The issue with using gksudo is that it's a GTK application, and it drags in with it a ton of dependencies. The document (which does indeed build Emacs) needs to be able to run on server distros which do not have any GUI applications installed.
With all due respect, if you want to build accessible components, you cannot rely on JS commands alone. I've been down this road and ended up writing JS commands combined with JS Hooks for just about every component to get what I actually wanted.
The logic is that prioritizing public transport, and hence restricting private cars, is restricting freedom of movement by making you depend on municipal government for transportation. Did you read the rest of my original comment?
From my understanding, the evidence for Mars magnetic field is well established from measurements of ejecta and rock banding.

Estimates differ on the strength of the field but I'm not sure there's disagreement on whether there ever was one.
One benefit of a "proper" colonoscopy is that the scope has a little wire that's used to remove polyps. Polyps have a high chance to progress to tumors, so nipping them in the bud is a good idea. Can't do that with a pill camera setup.

I had to fight with my doctors as a late 20-something to get one. Polyps, the Doctor who performed it told me he was proud of me for being persistent and made it clear that colon cancer is not an old man’s disease anymore.

I knew this because my brothers best friend died at 30 from it.

In-person interaction fulfills our innate biological desire for community.

Remote work is just a means of earning income.

You are comparing apples to oranges by assuming there is some relation between online chatting and remote working.
If there was an app where I could quickly hook up with a woman just for some physical satisfaction as easily as men do on Grindr I’d be pretty satisfied too. Low effort sex should be more readily available so that people don’t have to pollute serious dating apps looking for it.
But that's still a bug, obviously not intended behavior. I think i would rather have unobtrusive battery notifications than worry about the possibility of a specific type of unintended behavior that can be easily and routinely prevented by the manufactured. There's all kinds of excessive and annoying safety behaviors we could be putting into our devices but most of us get by on at least a minimum of trust.

Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.1 Released
As the world marches on, the TDE dev team appears to be keeping their head down and focused on usability improvements in this point release of the KDE3.5 successor.

Notably window-snapping was added to twin, konqueror got some usability improvements, a new quick-launch wheel app was added. There were improvements to the bluez and sound subsystems, a and then a slew of fixes, man page improvements.

Work has continued on the FreeBSD support as well as support for new distro releases like Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu Mantic
If somebody asks you to buy half a ton of fertilizer on their behalf, I suggest you think twice about it. Why do they want you to buy it for them? Even if he's a farmer, with a rational use for that much fertilizer, why is he making such an unusual arrangement to receive fertilizer through his friend instead of buying it himself normally?

Who knows man, maybe feds caught him with some pot plants and now he's setting you up in some sort of bullshit anti-terror sting to cut a deal. Regardless of what kind of truck you have, casually buying half a ton of fertilizer for somebody else is an odd request that warrants some explaining.
Yeah. To the degree these terms are referring to similar pop-notion of the ideas, the spike and decline are interesting repetitions.
Just don't plan on drinking that flavor of Gatorade again. The association with miralax etc will ruin it for you forever.
I fundamentally distrust these sort of guides. It was brought home reading something on the google SRE book - basically they talked about how google started with two data centres and a bunch of python scripts as automation.

Did they do "up-front" design? Of course. Did they get it horribly wrong at times ? of course.

but the large working system evolved from a small working system.

Thinking you can cunningly plan a future system to hang together like some giant zipper with pieces as yet to be built pulling together perfectly is ludicrous.
That's an interesting comparison because in both cases the intent is to deceive, and no matter how successful the deception is, the deceiver is still not what they purport to be. Hopefully future law and policy regarding AI will be crafted with that in mind, unlike that other set of deceivers who have had their deception enacted into law as if it is reality, in many jurisdictions.
It's sortof like guilt by association and not far off from credit reporting. I don't know what the current count is but some bot detection software and appliances can use upwards of 80+ indicators. There is incentive is in positive detection but there is little incentive to remove entries to avoid false positives currently. One can see the end results wake of pain it causes by comments here of people having accounts terminated for no obvious reason and being cut off from all corporate communications. Financial systems are hyper-vigilant in this area.

That seems unusual. Aren't cybercriminals motivated purely by money? Why would native language matter?
I've had one colonoscopy. I don't even remember the procedure itself. I got wheeled into the room, the doctor made a couple of jokes while the anesthesiologist put a tube in my arm, then I was out like a light. Then I woke up and it was over.

The prep, however, was pretty bad...
Same situation, but 10 years later for me. I’m now on a 3 year cycle due to the type of polyps.
As others have mentioned, there’s sorting issues (are directory entries created in the same order for a project that compiled everything in a directory?), timestamps (archive files and many other formats embed timestamps), and things that you really want to be random (tmpdir on Linux [at least in the past] would create directories of varying length).

I’ve successfully built tools to compare Java JARs that required getting around two of those and other test tools that required the third. I’m sure there are more.

GPTs compute the next most likely token.

The punch line of a joke toys with the expectation of the most likely conclusion. GPT is fundamentally at odds with this because it wants to compute what is expected, so as a result there is no surprise, or unveiling of hidden insight.

It also has absolutely zero training on emotional cues, facial expressions, body language, etc. I suspect it would do better if it had that training.

Perhaps it is possible that humor could be an emergent property of GPTs. A higher order pattern that it learns.
IMHO There are two main problems with social media (and by consequence dating apps) that makes it work very well for a few people but make all the rest suffer miserably: the first is that it flattens things into one dimension, making it look like a single ranking; the second is that it induces a fake “tabula rasa” feeling, as if everyone had the same opportunities simply because everyone is in the same platform. Both of these things are fundamentally wrong: human beings are multidimensional and there are myriad ways for a person to “shine” other than looks (and different people will perceive you and your multiple characteristics also in totally different ways); and just because someone else succeeded (or failed) by doing something that doesn’t mean you can reproduce the same results. Human society is amazing and social media is a horribly inaccurate “digital twin”.
> That may be the case in practice but it is not literally true, since semantically, inheritance is effectively a form of copy-and-paste in the compiler.

No, not really. The whole point of inheritance is declaring new types by implementing specifying interfaces in a way that specify type hierarchies.

If your goal was code reuse and "copy-and-paste" then nothing would beat composition. If you decide instead to go with inheritance, you have far more requirements to meet that go way beyond code reuse.
You couldn't live in those other countries or overstay your visa though. I mean you could, but it would've been illegal. In Morocco it was a common thing to do, overstay European visas. They were still marked as illegal, and ID checks were common, and deportation very much so too. You almost always would've gotten deported if caught in an ID check. So I'm not sure how that could be considered to be open borders.

Yes, atmospheric loss driven by solar wind is a very slow process. It’s the only reason why anybody entertains ideas of thickening the Martian atmosphere… the loss is slow enough that if a civilization has the means to do that kind of planetary engineering, maintenance to offset losses is trivial.

Intuitively I’d expect it to be faster in the case of Earth due to it being so much closer to the sun but I don’t know this for certain.
I met my wife on eHarmony after a few unsuccessful years on the apps. We have been happily married for 3 years. eHarmony was far better than any app but I can only attribute that to the fact that it is a paid for service with no free option, everyone there has to pay and that means people are more engaged and serious about a relationship.

It occours to me that the incentives are skewed. If the dating apps do a great job they lose users. This means the apps will (conciously or not) be designed to keep users using and that means, not finding a suitable partner. Even worse they actually put features that will help you find a match behind a pay wall, even more incentive to tantilise you but not deliver.

It'd be interesting to see a service that you only pay once you're in a relationship with someone from the service. So the company only gets paid when they find good matches. It'd become really good at finding matches or die.
In a number of years, when someone say "Nobody could have predicted that pulling a very voluminous fuel from the ground would cause earthquakes," please remind them of this post I am making on 10/29/2023.

Pulling a fuel out of the ground can always cause earthquakes later on. Pulling a very voluminous and non-energy-dense fuel out of the ground will be more likely to cause earthquakes than pulling out an energy dense fuel.
How would you differentiate the value you perceived vs the value you provided?

I love chat but before AI and before understanding the value of people reaching out to me apart from the chat medium just to say they were thinking of me I cannot consider the value of chat to be anything beyond a poor substitute to real conversations and interactions.

I ship a piece of free macOS software based on pyinstaller. Literally include a script to bypass the signing for the entire folder to get around having to pay.

It’s bad practice. Confusing for users and dangerous for users to get used to doing something like that.

But yeah I’m not paying $99 a year.
Sure, but it seems pretty clear that Google __does__ hate you so it doesn't exactly feel misplaced.
That is the exact assertion for exactly the same reasons. Remote work may work for you (much like chatting) but you are giving up a lot of communication richness in the process.

Working from home has very real trade offs that may work for you and your team, but it is no substitute for working and especially meeting in person. It primarily impacts communication efficacy, which for many larger teams is already the limiting factor.
I used to do more node work, and that was mostly pre v4. Express was the go-to.

There’s more options out there now. I did a bit of research a few years back, and my go-to now is Fastify.

If you don’t have time to do research then surely you don’t have time to learn a new tool, right? Just use Express.
1000%, Ive left teams and jobs over people "not giving a shit". One of the quickest path to burn out.
I feel like these apps are fundamentally opposed to having users form healthy relationships. The apps make money from searching, not finding.

I’m not very familiar with “the apps” but it seems like unless you are using grinder or tinder, someone trying to find a meaningful relationship and companionship would be a bad customer for dating apps, so they would want to both avoid those customers and even damage relationships in order to make more money.

Like how facebook and twitter make more money from angry, non-friends than from good friends connecting.

It does seem like a good problem for the “original internet” as there’s a lot of matching and filtering needed to present opportunities. But it’s hard to find communities based around a temporary status.

If I wanted to find a meaningful relationship, I’d probably want to be part of some large organization that has a section of the org for single people. So maybe a church or social club or something like that. But the organization would need to be huge to have a meaningful amount of people to make matches.

It seems like a low bar to prove Oregon's vote by mail elections are secure. Why does it require taking the Secretary of State to court?

In France, the baseline was about 15-20€/month, if my memory serves. I'm sure that I was missing something at that price, but I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what. Probably some porn and sport channels?
OkCupid was great in the early 2010s when you used it mainly on a website and before it was bought and enshittified by the Match group just like all other dating sites.

It seems like it would be easy to recreate that magic -- it's just a website after all -- but getting the requisite network effects would be pretty much impossible. And if by some miracle you did succeed, Match group would just buy it and ruin it.
Unnatural? Not sure I understand the use of the term here. They were here for several hundred thousand years so there were only natural forces at work. There must have been some kind of balance if they thrived for that long. At the very least food availability would have limited their numbers in some way. It isn't dissimilar to the situation with bears.

Just guessing, but I would think there would have been a lot of cougars eating a lot of calves. That would also have some restraining impact on the population.
Are you sure? I recall that there was lots of debate on the topic of „training“ an immune system. And the conclusion was that such a thing does not (scientifically observed) exist. If it does, I‘d actually be interested in the biology behind it.
> With Android 14 comes ART 14, the Android Runtime. Google numbers the ART releases like major software projects now, and because the runtime is a Mainline module, it will be installed on older versions of Android, too. Ever since ART became a Mainline module in Android 12, users on that version or newer will get a better, faster app engine no matter how long their OEM takes to update the phone.

This to me is the most exciting update! With most apps already being updated from the store including the Launchers/Browsers and all Google stuff including Play Store and libraries - adding ART to the list makes the OEMs not updating Android as often problem much less of an actual problem. (It basically leaves the kernel/drivers and maybe a few more super low level things in the problem category - IIRC even the modem driver/firmware stuff is separately updated now a days.)
I remember this article from here, a while back.

I enjoy it, but am keenly aware that "giving a shit" often gets severely punished, these days.
Very 90s. I could imagine that logo on a 56k modem box.
The primes used in RSA are definitely randomly generated for each new key, unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say. And afaik determining that the random number is prime is a mixture of “generate a random number using a formula that has a high probability of generating primes” and various probabilistic primality tests. It’s possible AKS has been incorporated to prove the numbers are prime in modern implementations, not sure. But historically RSA traditionally (definitely before 2006) determined primality probabilistically.

ECC doesn’t require primes and so is safer in that respect although I’ve been hearing that ECC might have structural deficiencies that causes a swing back to RSA for the most secure applications.
The first samples were available last year. I do have access to some NDA information, but I found a public press-release: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221220005278/en/

If you are a large company, you can get pre-production samples from multiple manufacturers under the NDA. It's now a race to build a large-scale production line. We'll definitely see some first mass-produced solid-state batteries next year.

They won't appear in Walmart for several more years, not in the least because all the manufacturing capacity is double-booked for the foreseeable future.

Are Cisco, Huawei, Dell, HPE (Aruba), SUSE, Oracle, Nokia, ZTE, Red Hat, Panduit, Supermicro, National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), VMware, Samsung, Arista, Juniper, DataDirect Networks (DDN Lustre), Sophos, Tencent Cloud Computing, Apple, etc, not 'major organizations'?

Ask HN: Fun mind challenging games for kids under 8

Personally, a large part of my job is telling folks _why_ they should give a shit; providing data on how not giving a shit will affect them or their company's bottom line. If they don't listen and it hits the fan anyways, they may have learned something and give a little more of a shit going forward. If they don't, I move on. Those that don't learn from their mistakes will continually supply the fan with further shit to spray.

In general, people largely filter out the "caring" of what won't directly affect them personally or their tribe in the short term, blind to the longer term repercussions until they are pointed out with concrete details AND actionable options. Someone doing the "right things" for the current situation, either has foresight or prior knowledge. Those that aren't, either have neither, can't learn, or the options' positive net ffects do not outweigh the momentum of "doing nothing."
