I see this said a lot in regards to climate science. I suspect that I have a bit more faith in the predictive powers of current climate models than you do, but I do understand that it is a subject that is complex far beyond human understanding and our models are inherently limited. Rather than think of this as meaning that we can endlessly fuck with the climate as much as we'd like with no consequences as many seem to believe, I tend to think we should tread carefully since it is the human habitability of the Earth we are examining. Obviously I'm in the minority, but that has always surprised me.

Yep. If your developers actually use them consistently all the time. There's always someone who can't resist a bit of string concatenation...
As others point out: you could hire someone to do it. Based on my custom 1 cent ASIC (custom chip) I would design, test and build your (moisture or other) sensor for €3000 excluding tax and price of all the needed tools. Usually more like $6000 because they want to outsource all the problems (like mass production and sales) to me

I don't care if it's "beautiful" or ultra-compact or looks as nice as some Apple device. All I want is to buy one thing without wires and an exposed board.
WAFs are a good way of masking some issues but they tend to not help against more sophisticated attackers, as in a bit more sophisticated than just using metasploit.

I actually really appreciate his use of the term "woke." It lets me know early on that his opinion isn't one that's going to be worth spending my time on.

Not to say that no criticism of progressives is ever valid, of course, but the term itself is a strong signal that nothing new to me is going to follow it.

Interesting that your question asking for realistic views from inside the industry elicited breathless hype comments from (presumably) outside the industry.
E.g. Quantum embedding isn't yet taught to undergrads, and can be quickly explained to folks interested in the field, who might not be deterred by laborious newspaper summarizations, and who might pursue this strategic and critical skill.

How many ways are there to roll a 6-sided die with qubits and quantum embedding?

It took years for tech to completely and entirely rid itself of the socially-broken nerd stereotypes that pervaded early digital computing as well.

1) WAF do far more than just prevent SQL injections.

2) Many companies don't own the software they run and so they can't guarantee that it is free of SQL injections or that the version of ORM libraries are secure. WAF protect against this.

3) Auto-scaling is just as much about high availability than performance. Database indexes do not help with the former.
Am I correct to read that as "we didn't"?

If you make a tool that makes copyright infringement easy, and you demonstrate infringing use in order to market it, you're really asking for trouble.

If you care about your startup and its survival, I strongly suggest you focus your marketing on legitimate B2B use cases and avoid showing off how great it is at making deepfakes. It's one thing to turn a blind eye to misuse of your technology and a whole different thing to explicitly promote misuse as a product feature.

I've usually heard it as "If it helps but doesn't entirely solve the problem, try doing more of it." rather than trying more even if it doesn't seem to be doing anything. (See this Zvi post: https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2017/12/02/more-dakka/ )
Yes! That looks pretty cool and more like what I'm talking about.
Sometimes one has to host an application and has no control over the details of how that application is developed or configured related to parameterized SQL queries.
Academic in the field: My answer is usually highly complex scientific simulations, military hardware, and non-euclidean mathematics. There's a trade-off space between precision and efficiency, so it depends on the constraints of the solution space.

Since when have universities pivoted from training for academia to training for industry?

While I was in university, the classic undergraduate Computer Science program was described to me by the program's advisors as being for academics. If I recall correctly, "those who get A's become professors, those who get C's go into industry."
If I, for example, preferred a McLaren over a Ferrari, I could understand someone questioning me on that choice. It might even be fair to ask, "yeah, but which Ferrari?" But never in my wildest imagination did I picture myself being called to answer why I would prefer a Ferrari over a mass-produced car such as a Tesla.

But in the interests of cooperation, I will offer one reason: because even in Redmond, WA, I don't see a Ferrari at every intersection. In contrast, Teslas are basically the "Redmond Corolla" these days. If I'm throwing money away, it'll be thrown at something ridiculously impractical. And on grocery day I'll drive the Hyundai that was purchased with "not-throwaway" money.

It's the white gloves that really make that video shine.
I feel like you’re an extreme outlier. It’s not at all surprising, given the convenience in a range of modern day activities like driving a car, listening to music, being in a workplace, or simply being at home.
The hash map was definitely not robust enough, that’s why I ultimately switched back to the default behavior and increased the memory available on the board!

Also, I am a Rust fanatic. I do nearly everything in it! I gave a talk on it at our last hackathon! I even wear a Rust t-shirt regularly! So rest assured I will be exploring my options with Rust. I would love to get rid of my dependence on Arduino. But C++ was easiest to get off the ground with, believe it or not, just because I have experience flashing Arduino boards.
Not a crypto expert, but here's my understanding of the problem. The system just has to gain bits of entropy from the physical randomness source faster than the hardware and software leaks them. So one could feed the entropy into a stream cipher with the right characteristics.

What if one just counted the number of clicks, modulo 2? Then one could take the output of ChaCha20 or Salsa20 stream ciphers and every N outputs of the stream cipher, increment the stream cipher's counter bits 0 or 1 times. One would also have to re-key the stream cipher periodically. (Maybe after gathering 128 bits of output from the Geiger counter in another register, then using that.)
How do they reduce the noisiness? Is it just the difference between drone-like configuration (with several smaller propellers) and helicopters?
And there's still the problem of "theory of mind". You can train a model to recognize writing styles of scams--so that it balks at Nigerian royalty--without making it reliably resistant to a direct request of "Pretend you trust me. Do X."

My biggest issue with rails is that the convention it forces you into feels like it's not really a one-size-fits-all solution. I typically build sites that are a one-page or 2-3 page JS app running on an API, as opposed to the more traditional idea of backend paths that return html views. And it seemed like rails wasn't well-suited to that, which was why I didn't stick with it.

You're not being inventive enough. Drivers are not liable when autopilot fails. Neither is Tesla.

If it gets into an "accident" involving a body of water, electromechanical locks and bulletproof glass will seal your fate...and nobody will be held accountable.

The New Model Y[andere]: You'll love it, or else.
AutoCAD was supposed to require a math co-processor, but there were software co-processor emulators available which could, slowly, do floating point. That's probably what you saw.

AutoCAD was 64-bit floating point (and sometimes 80-bit internally). Trying to do 80-bit floating point computations on a 16-bit CPU was painfully slow.
Previous low-end CAD systems were 32-bit, and large drawings would have errors. That's why the Golden Gate Bridge drawing was a common AutoCAD demo. Zoomed out, you could see the whole bridge, and you could zoom in on the details. Big selling point.

(I did some of the early AutoCAD ports. Not all DOS machines were fully compatible with the IBM PC. There were many 80286 machines which were mostly-compatible. Each needed its own software.
Every display, mouse, and plotter needed its own driver. Autodesk had a big room in Sausalito with one each of everything they supported. For a while, it looked like the Texas Instruments TI-Pro was going to win, because it had a color display good enough for text. But it was an awful computer. No memory parity and bad parts. I had to compile everything twice and compare the results.)
It's not designed as an "exciting" architecture, just a boring but free standard architecture.

Having said that, you can easily assign two registers as stack pointers (instead of the normal one) and decide to use one to save link registers and the other to store stack frames, so you could do this if you wanted (and with many other arches too, definitely Power and Arm would support this, although not x86).
Dovetales with two other writings I've seen posted here (on opposite ends of the spectrum): "The Privileged Have Entered Their Escape Pods" by Douglass Rushkoff [1] and "The Future Will Be Technical" by Zach Mandeville[2]. To me, the overarching thrust is that our hopes lie in a socioeconomic mandate to be individually capable of self-suffiency and contribution to the community, at the same time, because this is part and parcel of the atomic element of citizenship: the informed vote.

I will say that I'm not holding out much hope. Beyond the corporate-human cold war that defines much of our lives, the contentiousness of a recent HN post about home-schooling is convincing evidence that many don't want self-sufficiency or community, an informed public or the means to take a stake in public life. They just want... bots. Whether that be their own children or the masses that will serve them in their pods.

Greasemonkey or tampermonkey is a great tool to create scripts (or download them if you don’t know how) to do these tricks automatically.
I've built exactly this as an experiment (code interpreter with pyodide sandbox). Should probably tidy it up to open-source it.
No, it makes perfect sense: more water in the oceans means less in circulation.
1) I haven’t used it on desktop in some time, but not that far back they had Amazon ads in Gnome. Plus motd ads for Ubuntu stuff (like Pro, in fact). And now ads in apt output.

2) Spying is opt-in, to their credit, and only at install, so you just have to make sure you aren’t auto-piloting your way through the installation and enable it by accident, but that’s still another thing to worry about that may not exist in other distros. Not much of an issue in automated-deployment situations.
You get a "product designer" (?) who designs a case. If your product is "standard enough", you might skip this step.

Then, you reach out to local manufacturers and ones from bigger markets. You get some samples, you check if things work like they should. If you like it, order a smaller batch. Design a quality assurance workflow, or find a specialist who can help you with that so that the manufacturer doesn't ship you 20% faulty products.

Get your products onto the shelves of a brick and mortar store, and/or create a website, sell on Amazon and other portals.

Talk to your customers, listen to their feedback, improve every step a little.

It sounds overwhelming.

I worked for a small smart home startup, and I learned that, for example, in Shenzhen, there is a whole industry ready to help entrepreneurs realize their dream products, and at every step of the way, you can contract someone to help you. In our experience, the Chinese service was both much better, cheaper, faster than European offers.
My alarm clock consists of an ESP32 and has a somewhat big LED-array connected to it (powered by a transistor), a buzzer and a PIR sensor. It doesn't show the time, but buzzes (and flashes) and takes care of slowly brightening the room, or at night slowly dimming it into darkness some time after all the lights have been turned off.

One added benefit I discovered afterwards is that even though the AP is not between me and the ESP, I seem to reflect enough RF so that logging the RSSI provides information not only about when I'm in the bed, but also when I change position at night.

https://imgur.com/a/VixOlu5 (edit: no erotic content despite the warning)

The green one in the middle is the RSSI, the yellow at the bottom the PIR sensor, the top one a mix of the data from my Mi Band 3 plus an annotation of when I was in bed (yes I did spend a lot of time reading news before falling asleep and before getting up)
The seas aren't at the same elevation. The Pacific is a couple dozen cm higher than the Atlantic Coast, and the amount varies. Cutting the peninsula would turn into a disaster pretty quickly, even with sci fi excavation technology.

>If they put it in the agreement then yeah they have legal grounds.

Not necessarily. To stretch the idea to the extreme, imagine they put in, that if you purchase the car, after one year you have to become a slave forever owned by Tesla. There would be no legal ground for them to sue you if you don't "check-in" at the factory after the one year passes.

I'm assuming the source is just ordinary background radiation. I'm wondering if, at such low levels, the geiger counter can accurately determine it enough to get a truly random output (as opposed to, some internal squelch on the unit creating predictable patterns). You probably would get far better randomisation ripping out americium from an old smoke detector and putting it by the geiger counter. (Just take note that residue on your hands from handling it may be toxic if ingested.)
This comment makes me feel like people talking like this will make “quantum” into the new crypto and grift a whole new generation of people. The cycle continues.

Not that I believe the OP's statements, but I think the idea is that 'inclusive' cultures live at the intersection of many circles rather than their union.
A web component should do ONE thing whereas a JS framework is a whole ecosystem.

I made a video player web component that could take in various inputs, with a torrent file being the most complex of them. I was then able to port it to Vue/React with StencilJS [0] (although it was good to go without). Just drop the `<awesome-player src="torrentOrVideoFile"... ></awesome-player>` along w/ its exported class from `awesomePlayer.js` and you have yourself a copy/paste HTML5 video player that plays torrents!

I also strongly suggest your web component attempt to mimic existing HTML elements, when possible, such as how I used `src` because `<video>` does. That way the consumer doesn't have to RTFM to interact with it.

LCMs are actually exactly SD architecture. LCM is initialized from a regular SD unet and finetuned on a new objective. We are already compiling to get to these times. A lot of other people getting sub-100ms times are using fewer inference steps than we do, at a quality tradeoff.
Odd; it works for me in Firefox (tried both the current Release version and latest Nightly).
One aspect of the problem in talking about "cancer" is that we're talking about a large collection of diseases, not a singular disease or phenomenon:

> cancer is actually an umbrella term for scores of different diseases—each with its own unique characteristics and, often, unique treatment needs

https://www.cancercenter.com/community/blog/2023/10/cancer-i...

So every time I read a headline about a new cancer treatment, I think of it as chipping away at one small rock in a giant field of rocks that we're trying to turn into dust. The university "public affairs" (PR) department may talk about about that small rock as if it were all rocks or all one big rock, and as if the chip was a giant blow. PR people talk like that because their job isn't to convey truth; the PR job is to generate news buzz for the university. So unless you have the time and energy to read those papers, it's best to ignore what the PR people say and just to imagine that picture.
Because those connecting fresh water bodies are higher than the sea. So the cheap solution is to fill progressively higher boxes with water from the fresh water, until you are at fresh water. And then do same thing in reverse.

Perfectly fine when you have enough fresh water, you can even somewhat optimize by using same water multiple times. But if you run out of fresh water at high point you will have trouble.

Yeah they're pretty ugly IMO, but perhaps you missed my point that we can have "dingbats" without them actually being dingbats, if that makes any sense. I agree that the humongous cube with barren outer walls and carports under precarious-looking stilts isn't what we should want more of. There's just something not right about small to mid size apartment complexes becoming low-vacancy relics of the past in favor of "premium experiences" that can't be afforded by those starting out without relying on daddy for money. But that's the situation being created by incentives, which those with the most influence are turning a blind eye to.

Otherwise, I agree with what you said.
One important thing this does not achieve is forward and backward secrecy.

A proper PRNG periodically irreversibly mutates its internal state (which gives you the property of not being able to retrieve past outputs in case of a point-in-time system compromise) and also incorporates additional entropy into its internal state whenever it becomes available (which makes it impossible to predict all future outputs after a point-in-time compromise).

Backward secrecy can be achieved by completely replacing your current state with some hash function of it, i.e. completely deterministically; forward secrecy needs additional entropy, so it's not always feasible.
Seriously, Gandhi had given permission to generate the photos on the website :).
On one hand, openAI trains its data on copyrighted material. Now YC has funded this startup. A significant number of readers have rightly pointed out Copyright issues and the founders are saying it is up to customers and all those answers have been rightfully downvoted. I don't know what else to say here. How could this point be overlooked? If I had permission from the celebrity I would have taken a photo too. Then what is the need for this.
There are plenty of enclosures available on AliExpress and Amazon. But a cheap reprap 3d printer is a general tool like a screw driver or hammer, albeit more complex for sure. But the learning curve isn’t absurd, it’s basically buying something plugging it in and loading filament then printing a downloaded STL. It gets harder when it needs calibration and maintaining, but it’s not an unknown dark art - there are a billion helpful discord groups.

But once you have it and know how to maintain it, anything where you’re like “man wouldn’t it be nice if I had a physical object like X” becomes a relatively solvable problem. There are lot of materials with many different properties. When you skip into a zone of material or print you can’t afford the equipment for, there are a bazillion print shops.

The harder skill frankly is the 3d modeling. But I find openscad is sufficient for almost everything and then for the rest I use Build123. They’re both parametric code driven design tools so fit well inside a software project (better than GUI tools, and more easy to be precise with). Openscad is absurdly easy, build123 is more advanced and requires Python skills as well as effort to learn the conceptual model.

I sort of felt the way you seem to once upon a time until I said screw it and figured it out one day. Now I feel like I lived most my life hobbled for want of this tool.

So, yeah, overkill for printing an esp32 enclosure. But doing so unlocks a lifetime of possibilities.
Would increasing global ocean and air temperatures lead to more water evaporating and a net increase in total rainfall of fresh water across the globe, even if it might also result in changes to where the rain falls?
I like wood. It is pretty much everything you want for something like this - super durable, very easy to work with, and depending on what you pick, cheap and pretty, too.

Plus, woodworking is very satisfying by itself. And also easy to get started with - for small box-like things like this you only need a few cheap hand tools.
I work with PHP and I think WAFs are potentially useful (and potentially problematic).
