"Something unique may have been lost (a language, a clothing style, and a harsh way of life), but so much more has been gained (access to all the world has to offer)."

I mostly agree with your overall gist, but I will poke a little hole here just for completeness: What does all the world have to offer? A spectrum of other cultures? Today yes, but only because the process of loss and homogenization you just said was a good thing has not yet completed. Give that same process a few more generations and the whole world will be the same, and any differences won't matter at all. It's already almost like that today. When I go on vacation on the other side of the world, it's hardly any different. If it weren't for the history and the interesting ancient structures, there would hardly be any point in travelling from any place to any other place.

The process is not complete, and so today, sure, there is still a lot of point to travel. But that is merely mass and inertia and it's eroding away.

Life is getting better in certain material ways, which are undeniably valuable, but it is not getting richer. It WAS getting richer for a while when communication and travel gave more people more access to the wide varied world than was possible before, but now, that wide varied world is becoming less varied, and so the richness is decreasing.
Why do you feel the need to complain about the people complaining about the people complaining? Just let them complain in peace!

Wow - great on them! At first I was saddened at the idea of sterilizing that many animals but on further reading the article estimates there are 300 million street dogs across Asia... That's a hard number to swallow.
Waze seemed to not understand the express/collector system in Toronto for the longest time, and would have you merge back and forth between the two unnecessarily. It seems to have become better over the last year or two, however.

Assuming that there is no way to be 100% certain that all food is safe all the time, what do you think is the acceptable amount of poisoning that should be considered safe? 0.001%? Six sigma? There will always be some sort of food contamination going on if people want to buy food.

Is this example outside a normal range in the larger picture? Or is it just an outrage article? Corporations are constantly cost-cutting to keep product prices low for consumers, so that can't really be a way to judge liability.
Genuine question: what other „entertainment media” are you reading in 2023 that does not contain what you describe as „off-topic pretentious garbage”?

It makes more sense when you consider that many of the journalists who have gone into newsletters are there because they felt that the need to appeal to "average readers" and build a broad customer pool (edit: often at the insistence of their evil bosses) was restricting their genius and that they'd have a better time narrow-casting to a smaller (but more consistently monetizable) fanbase.

>Whether the results of the Riff trial may ever have a p value suitable for nature/science, likely not. When it comes to the human body and our biology, a mass trial like this may even be more useful than traditional studies

Can you explain this further? I'm curious about it, because at face value it seems like it is somewhat contradictory. On one hand, you're saying it won't likely be demonstrably significant enough to generalize, but then you say it will be more valuable. Are you saying it's value is in it's non-generalizability? I.e., each person finds what 'riff' works for them? I thought the point of publishing results was, in part, to separate the wheat from the chaff so we don't all have to run a ton of self-experiments.
What's your point? Their point was that these scales can help provide evidence of minorities and women getting paid less. Can you expand on what we could learn from the situation of two people getting different salaries when they're neither minorities nor women?
I'm not against bodycams but studies on their effectiveness often come to conclusions like "...the current evidence regarding the effectiveness of body-worn cameras is mixed" with the inevitable "additional research is needed."

By and large, just ignore them? Life's a lot easier when you don't fancy yourself a 10x programmer, accept mediocrity, and just absorb best practices by osmosis a few years after they're developed by the bigshots.

This reminds me a lot of early Javascript: a thousand small companies each promising a 10% improvement to your workflow. Wait a couple years and it'll be three companies each offering 150% boosts instead, with clear instructions.

It's an exciting time if you like to be on the bleeding edge, but then you should be working with one of those companies. Otherwise, just wait for the dust to settle...
Author is likely unsophisticated and frustrated that their competency in c/c++ fail to translated to rust without a bunch of additional effort.

The article contains several strawmen that aren't constructed particularly well even by strawmen standards. They're not even really knocked down. Just gently pushed where they lean against a nearby wall.

But if you go to the very end, then I think we can infer what's going on here:

> ... the growing movement toward legislation. [...] Because we could end up in a less secure future, where nobody understands why, with red tape that prevents you from finding out what went wrong.

Rust contains many low level details that you have to understand. And type inference, generics, associated types, two macro systems, algebraic data types (which have to concern themselves with low level details), pattern matching, and ownership and borrowing. It is hard to get up to speed with all of these concepts.

Compare that with python. With python you have to understand dictionaries and the call stack. That's about it (imagine me handwaving a bit).

Additional concepts that you have to understand in order to be productive (or get the job done at all) is a consideration that is worth making. However, having a hard time groking the affine types and the borrow checker isn't really an argument against Rust.
Shakespeare is very funny and crude, but he also wielded a larger vocabulary than we're used to in our penny theatre (TV shows, popular YA books, etc.) We also know that, if nothing else, poetry is good exercising for both sides of the brain, and most people won't bother with it outside of school. (There are more reasons to teach these things but I'm setting them aside.)

We don't even try to teach what was considered scholarly in 1600, let alone in Latin and French. Those works were also considered archaic back then, too.

I thought Canada was legally distinct, and only the person Charles III is shared with the UK? I.e. he's the King of Canada. It seems like it's primarily tradition at this point which makes this happen, rather than a hard requirement.
The article doesn’t have any context about what the Escapist is, or who or what anything else mentioned is (zero punctuation?). Anyone have an ELI5?
Because this is hackernews:

So when was the last time you checked for patched-but-not-auto-applied vulnerabilities in your (almost certainly ISP-provided) router?

ISPs don't want things to randomly break for consumers, so are likely to avoid rolling out updates that could potentially go wrong, but all code has vulnerabilities, and this controls access to your internal network.
So many people have this delusion that, in a Mad-Max-ian world they'd be a badass sitting on the bones of their enemies when in fact they'd just be dead in a ditch somewhere.

There's a pretty vocal minority on HN (and in tech generally) that are unapologetic supporters of might-makes-right and wholly against the rule of law. It's at least a bit refreshing from the usual set of people who are against the same but too mealy-mouthed to say it outright.

JUSTICE GORSUCH delivered the opinion of the Court.

On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise. Forced to leave their ancestral lands in Georgia and Alabama, the Creek Nation received assurances that their new lands in the West would be secure forever. In exchange for ceding “all their land, East of the Mississippi river,” the U. S. government agreed by treaty that “[t]he Creek country west of the Mississippi shall be solemnly guarantied to the Creek Indians.” Treaty With the Creeks, Arts. I, XIV, Mar. 24, 1832, 7 Stat. 366, 368 (1832 Treaty). Both parties settled on boundary lines for a new and “permanent home to the whole Creek nation,” located in what is now Oklahoma. Treaty With the Creeks, preamble, Feb. 14, 1833, 7 Stat. 418 (1833 Treaty). The government further promised that “[no] State or Territory [shall] ever have a right to pass laws for the government of such Indians, but they shall be allowed to govern themselves.” 1832 Treaty, Art. XIV, 7 Stat. 368.
Sounds like a tribal matter, and not something for colonists to answer.
Not sure that test works well with WeWork. Where I was in London most people had heard of WeWork as they had lots of events with free beer. Obviously it didn't seem to make them much money.

Maybe at this point we should be talking about all three major players as opposed to selecting one victim for partition. They all suck hard. They all stand to benefit from TMobile raising prices, because it will give them an excuse to do the same.

I am personally tired of the oligopolies in US. Bring in some competition. I thought the free market was a thing here ( or is it just lip service ) .
What's your reason for those numbers? The power output of a normal car engine seems a bit on the low side to me.
Most people don't know what a $400k Security Engineer actually does to warrant that pay because you can probably find a similar job at another company that pays much less and probably makes you work more. I sure as fuck don't and I at least have one pentesting cert FWIW.

This pricing scheme punishes people trying to be honest about their skill set. Otherwise why stop at the average? Just max it out and ask for $700k. Another $300k/yr won't break Netflix's bank and everyone else is getting rich that they won't care to call you out either.
How would that deter those who know they are sitting in a far away jurisdiction?
It would be great if there was some kind of open decentralized protocol for agents as an alternative to being locked in to a few particular platforms.

It's basically messaging app bots. As far as I know, users can't communicate across messenger platforms.

Maybe we will end up with messenger convergence/bundling products merging with agent services.
Every GPS I've ever used seems confused by the express/collector system on the 401. Google Maps, the one built into my Toyota, and the old Garmin all had trouble with it.
There is a 0% chance that I'd put in the effort to get an offer from a company just to set my price with a company I'd like to work for. No company is worth that headache.

If I happen to already have a competing offer, sure. But when job searching I'm not carpet bombing resumes, I'm targeting specific companies that I think would be a match.
If your IV is constant then you open yourself to chosen plaintext attacks. For example, if I can get your application to encrypt "hackernews" for me, I will just look for other rows with the same ciphertext prefix as my encrypted field and know they start with "hackernews" (this is going to be true up to the block size of AES).

One technique for using AES (assuming you're using AES in a secure mode) and still being able to search is to compute a corresponding hash digest based on a small predefined length of the plaintext. Then you can search on that and get back all the rows that start with that. The actual field may still not be what you're looking for but you've narrowed it down to a much smaller subset. Then you just decrypt the field from the subset of rows and return the ones that match. It's definitely inefficient and still has issues but an improvement over a constant IV for all rows.
Prove it.

Fundamentally, AI image creators stitch together images, then try to apply an art style.

You might call it “unique” because it stitches things together wrong (hello 10 fingers on one hand), but it is still fundamentally just copying, pasting, and then deforming lines together.

People claiming that AIs understand what they’re doing and that what AIs do is not fundamentally copying and pasting are the ones who have the burden of proof here.
Cool to see that you kept the idea alive, thanks! :D

I'd have totally forgotten to post again, even though I also considered doing it at some point.
You don’t even have to disclose the company during negotiation, I’ve simply said “I have an offer from a Series A company with X equity and Y salary” so they have something to benchmark against
A house is not a sovereign nation.
There are plenty of never-profitable businesses that have gone bankrupt in the past. See e.g. pets.com from the dot com bust. And this downturn has seen "functioning" businesses like SVB and First Republic go under too. So I'm not sure this time is different, at least to the extent you're suggesting.

I do agree that this era of low interest rates has led to some companies getting absolutely massive without ever turning a profit. But hey, that playbook worked for Amazon. Most tech companies have substantially lower capital requirements than WeWork, and can weather this sort of downturn as long as they have a reasonable cash position. Sure, Uber might not make back the amount of funding it's burned through, but that's different than it having a business where the unit economics will never work out.
I can speak to the “legislation” bit. The federal government is starting to take a position that “memory safety is good.” A few recommendations have come out of a few security-adjacent portions of the government, and this has caused quite a stir in at least the C++ community. Right now it’s more along the lines of “prefer a memory safe language over a memory unsafe language if possible” but some fear(/ others hope?) that the recommendations will eventually grow teeth.

Résumé/CV: https://safareli.com/resume
Email: email is in the resume

For the past three years, I’ve been working at deepchannel.com as the second full-time Software Engineer. We built the VSCode for data engineers working on dbt projects. I've done a bit of everything there – from conducting technical interviews and getting an internal ETL tool and backend HTTP API off the ground to kicking off some of the core intelligence features in the IDE and seeing them through to production.

Outside of that, I’m a hacker and TypeScript and functional programming wizard. I’ve made extensive Open source contributions in PureScript and JavaScript, and even gotten shoutouts in deep functional programming papers. I have been giving talks, organizing meetups and hackathons in my home city of Tbilisi.

I have about 10 years of software engineering under my belt, including 6 years working remotely for U.S. startups. I’m looking for a small-to-medium size team. Ideally we would start remotely, but I would be open to moving to New York or San Francisco. I’m at my best working with people who are optimistic and driven, where everyone’s all about teamwork and helping each other grow.
> The level of vitriol for Kotaku specifically made no damn sense, given how diverse the writing staff was.

I think you got the cause and effect backwards here, unfortunately.
You handle it by immediately giving copies of the video to police, prosecutors, and a police oversight board, all of whom have responsible processes for viewing and releasing video. Kept in video management tools with strong logging, access controls, and watermarking, so that anybody misbehaving is quickly caught.

In practice, this shouldn't be hard. Those groups are all already used to handling evidence and data with privacy considerations. If their processes are solid, it shouldn't be a big change. And if not, well, it's good that cops get a personal interest in responsible data management.
Given that an estimated 70% of security vulnerabilities are currently memory safety errors, I think that justifies the use of Rust all by itself.

But a far greater gain is that Rust is designed right from the start with tighter semantics which make it more suitable static analysis, and that it is, unlike C/C++, largely free of undefined behaviour.
why would they and why would american workers want them too. The US ha had wage stagnation for decades. In what world would those worker let corporations bring in competition. Why would the new hordes of gen x and millenial bosses hire the elderly.
You did used to be able to similarly overstate your current salary, and then something quite a lot more formal than "secret slack channel" evolved. And it's often not accurate. Urgh.

I don't think that anyone can do this, at all. I think there's a totally different skillset that it takes to actually run a business than to get money from VCs, and by stripping away the need for the running-a-business skillset, Adam Neumann really perfected his VC grift game. That doesn't mean that he wasn't exceptionally skilled at it.
We really need multiple words for diet.

It means at least two different things:

It can refer to specific planned period of eating a certain way to achieve a certain end.

e.g. Atkins diet(please look up how he died before considering this), fodmap diet , low GI diet, potato diet

It can also refer to the normal way a particular person at particular place and time in history eats.

e.g The Roman diet, Celtic diet, American Diet, French diet, Pandas diet, Neanderthal diet ,Vegan/Vegetarian diets, Kosher/Halal diets
Kotaku is one of the only game outlets that actually got blacklisted by publishers for negative coverage. What's the integrity violation you're so upset about? I hope it's not a completely made up one like gamergate
Thanks for the answer! I've got some more questions now. Sorry, but if anyone is willing to take a stab at these questions, it'd be helpful to me.

1. IIUC PE executables are Windows executables. So a Linux system that targets UEFI ends up writing a PE executable to the EFI System Partition?

2. I know that some UEFIs (or is it all?) support BIOS boot sector as backward compatibility feature? How does that work? If I write a "hello world" program in pure machine code in the 1st sector of the boot disk, would UEFI read that and execute that? How would it even know whether what's in the first sector is valid code or garbage? By checking the magic 0x55 0xaa at the end of the boot sector?
Then that is the price of not having the headache. Markets work best when buyers AND sellers are constantly engaging in negotiations.

Your linked study did exactly what I cautioned against. It's in-vitro. It's pointing to potential mechanisms, not a clinical outcome on patients. I know you said you don't read studies, but maybe it's a good idea before drawing conclusions.
Unfortunately a common practical complaint about body cameras right now is battery life. Police shifts are typically 12 hours and may go over several hours routinely in major cities. It's not necessarily an unsolvable problem but the options on the market right now don't make it that long without being in standby for much of it. A lot of departments issue each officer two cameras to mitigate the problem but that creates its own problems around keeping both regularly uploaded.
