The big deal about these events is that, if you reasonably assume that it's a proton, then it violates a bound called the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin limit. Anything going that fast should be energetic enough to interact with the cosmic microwave background, which is hugely blueshifted in its frame of reference. The GZK is a kind of cosmic speed limit over long distances.

So anything this energetic would need have a nearby source (in astrophysical terms) so it doesn't have time to slow down. But when we trace these things back, we see bupkus in the direction it came from.

This means there is either (almost certainly) interesting new astrophysics, or (with tiny probability) new particle physics involved. Whatever is giving individual protons the energy of a thrown baseball is probably something worth studying.
Problem is that it hollows out the middle and all that's left is either expensive niche stuff or mass produced synthetic crap. Wood furniture is a good example today.
Ask HN: Would humanity benefit from designing a new computing platform
What if we took all the lessons learned from the past 50 years and rebuilt a brand new computing platform, hardware and software, from scratch, removing all the extra layers of complexity, removing all the bottlenecks and not worrying about backward compatibility. We could even let go of the 0s and 1s, and replace it with something else.

Are there companies working on such a project? Would this allow us to gain orders of magnitude of value in terms of performance.

Note: My question concerns reusing existing base manufacturing technologies, I'm not talking about something like Quantum Computing.
If LLMs have models (tokens), there are definitely tokens inside said models, and a program can manipulate them.

Well, they are non-obvious slots near Flight Attendant stations and high traffic areas.

I wont say I hung out near them on a flight and observed traffic patterns, nor did I observe periods in the rear of the plane where one CF slot was unattended.

I forget the exact model now, but Im leaving out alot of detail. There are assumptions in the "unattended slot" hypothesis. For one, the slots need to be set to an autoplay, which is not a given, and if not- requires navigating a complex and dated touch screen.
> Starbucks is bad coffee anyway.

It's better coffee than those places that want to make coffee the "proper way", but can't. I understand the "corporations-bad" source of the hate for Starbucks, but their coffee is okay precisely because they're driven by corporate goals: Press button, coffee comes out, calibrated the same as every other Starbucks in the world; to be passable.
> And D-K did indeed show a correlation between the two, just not as strong of one as we would expect. Rather, they showed a consistent bias. That's the interesting result.

Right, so:

1. If the data were truly random, with no correlation, we'd expect the line to be straight across the middle, with the first quartile at 50% and the last quartile also at 50%

2. If the data were 100% accurate and precise [1], we'd expect the line to be diagonal, with the first quartile at 12.5% and the last quartile at 87.5%.

3. If the data were accurate but not precise (i.e., basically right but with some randomness built in), we'd expect the line to be in between #1 and #2 -- basically, changing from #2 into #1 as the randomness increases, but with the intersection at 50%.

That's because someone in the 2nd percentile can't underestimate themselves as much as they can overestimate themselves, and someone in the 98th percentile can't oversetimate themselves as much as they can underestimate themselves. But in any case, the "0 bias" case looks symmetric.

4. But what we actually see is none of the above: we see the 1st quartile being at (eyeballing the chart) 60%, and the last quartile at 75%.

That shows that there is indeed some ability for self-evaluation, but it's off. The fourth quartile could indeed just be random, the effect of clipping at the top meaning that the upper quartile cannot overestimate themselves as much as they understimate themselves. But there's no getting around the fact that the bottom quartile are overestimating themselves.

It is a personality trait I identify with, made more stark because my wife is quite the opposite.

IMHO, good fiction asks us to suspend our disbelief to create a novel setting and unique circumstances. Having accepted that, we still expect the world to behave according to its own logic.

Bad fiction abuses the suspension of disbelief, and it rubs people like me (and the gp) wrong.

In this case, it is a silly short story, so it doesn't bother me much. On the other hand, complaining about TV shows and movies can practically become a sport with the the right company.

For example, I quite enjoyed the Netflix movie Spectral, right up until the end, where they tried too hard to explain the mystery and violated things that I had not suspended my disbelief about. The TV show Fringe had a ton of these moments as well. Some were easy to accept, some episodes were painful to get through.
You build two or three of them and compare them to each other. That's how a lot of pushing the boundaries of stability or precision is evaluated.

I'll add another +1 for Termux on an android phone. I have a hub that lets me charge my phone and plug a real keyboard into my android device.

It (termux) is mildly annoying as you don't get to set your own username and you can't ssh into your phone (or maybe you can if you're on a rooted device.)

Also, there's no sixel support, so it's somewhat limited as a remote management platform.

But I've successfully scp'd remote files to local, then used emacs to modify the files and then scp them back. Git works fine, so you can clone, branch, commit and push if that's your workflow. Make and gcc all work fine, so you can compile other tools (prolog, scheme, node) if you need them.

Sbcl should work, but I ran into problems compiling I haven't yet resolved (not sure it isn't related to me monkeying around with local library links) so ymmv.

I know python is available via the package system, but I'm not a python person.

DNS as a password manager is kind of an own-goal, as you give the attacker the means to mount an offline attack against your encrypted passwords at the outset. They can simply retrieve the encrypted blobs over the network, and begin.

Putting that aside, as instantiated by the author, there are some problems with the encryption methodology:

1. CBC doesn't provide integrity

There's no guarantee given to you by the construction that the password you (successfully!) decrypted is the same password you encrypted. If you're symmetrically encrypting anything nowadays, you should be using some form of authenticated encryption.

2. `openssl enc`'s -pbkdf2 flag defaults to 10k iterations, which is off by more than an order of magnitude by today's standards for a comparable use case(protecting password vaults).

3. using PBKDF2 in the first place.

There are more modern KDFs nowadays(scrypt, argon2) that are resistant to more kinds of attacks[0] that should probably be used instead.

4. using `openssl enc` in the first place.

OpenSSL has always cautioned against using the `enc` command for anything serious, so I feel obligated to mention it.

Sorry if this seems like I'm talking out of school, but in case any one reading was inspired to use this methodology for encrypting their own passwords, I wanted to give a proper accounting of what I think the limitations are.

Someone decided to call a software "informatica".

A british recruiter was quite insistent to have a call… turns out because she read "informatica" on my profile (as in, laurea in informatica), asked me how many years of experience I had with the tool, I replied "I just heard of it 2 minutes ago when you first mentioned it". Then got mad at me for having written the word "informatica" on my profile.
The “AI” is just the visual stills. A human still has to craft the strategy, write the content, feed the model new fashion and generally be “influential”.

At the moment, it seems like a net loss.

a lot of people don’t care

many would far rather be entertained by an AI than pay an actual human (woman) for company

many people view the latter as failure, while viewing the former as just entertainment no different than buying hentai manga or adults only computer game

same with placating their partners. “Oh this onlyfans is just AI there is no woman I’m interacting with”

and there is an exception to Section 230 immunity where site operators can be liable for user generated content if its possible a human was sex trafficked, obvious AI that is erotic doesnt have this problem as there is no human, leading to a more favorable business environment

I can see it being impossible to compete with very quickly, especially if the AI is always saying the right things and producing content quicker

First of all, nuclear is very expensive, but most of that cost is in the original construction, of the reactor. In the wake of Fukushima, Germany decomissioned many already built, mature reactors that could have continued to safely and cheaply operate for decades. Shutting down pre-existing reactors and justifying it with "well, building new reactors is expensive" is at best stupid.

Second of all, renewables are incredibly cheap when they're a minority of the grid. The problem is that if there's a shortfall of electricity, things get real expensive real fast. To make realistic grid-scale comparisons between renewables and nuclear power, you need to compare the cost of renewables-plus-storage against the cost of nuclear, and at that point things get a lot more nuanced and hard to compare.

For instance, solar PV is the cheapest electricity you can get, but in places with a lot of preexisting solar installation it's also some of the lowest value electricity. During the middle of a sunny summer day in Germany, electricity spot prices can go negative because so much solar is being produced, but then that same night, prices shoot up because suddenly all those PVs stop producing any electricity at all. It's a bit of a race to the bottom if you don't have storage to offset those swings.

____________________________

All that said, I'm of course a big fan of renewables and I'm glad Germany is investing in them, and I think there's a bright future ahead with them. But using the low cost of solar modules and wind turbines as an argument against keeping nuclear power stations online is silly -- especially when there's still coal plants operating in Germany.

Whole lot of people are not understanding the point.

Of course there are kids on the internet. And on Facebook. That's what the article (and lawsuit) are saying. And of course Meta knows it.

That is exactly why Meta needs to stop their psychologically manipulative and harmful practices. Identifying who is a kid is not working well enough. Preventing kids from accessing services and being manipulated and harmed is not working well enough.

Kids will access these websites, and when they do, it isn't a fair fight. They're taking their developing brains and going up against billion dollar algorithms designed by armies of professional psychologists to manipulate them to maximize "engagement". And unsurprisingly, this is having negative effects.

Facebook cannot claim they don't know this - everyone knows this. They need to change how they treat everyone, if they can't exclude kids. Kids are killing themselves because of Facebook. We need to stop this manipulation across the board.

Corporations did not force both sexes to flood the labor pool. Women wanted (and fought) to gain the ability to be paid. To reduce their struggle and achievement as a “corporate conspiracy” is an insult.

Might businesses influence people’s decisions with marketing? Sure. But that is not why people yearn to be financially independent. People want to be financially independent so they can live life how they want to live it, and marry or date who they want to be with, and so on and so forth.
"The only limitation is your imagination." - The new Zombo.com
I agree nuclear initial investment is high but it’s cheaper to maintain in the long run than renewables. The making of solar panels, wind turbines and hydroelectric power stations release more carbon in the athmosphere than nuclear sites. Making of this stuff, especially batteries for stocking, produce more poisonous material than any nuclear site will, and must be stocked underground with high risks. Exaust fission materials produced by humanity so far is so little that stocking isn’t a problem and in some kind of reactors can even be recycled! Renewables don’t guarantee power continuity, nuclear fission does. I can go on the whole day, renewables alone can’t power the ever increasing world need. A mix of nuclear reactors, even small, and renewables could
The problem is that that cold oil is like sludge to pump around but your oil pump will try anyway. The result of that is insane oil pressure until the oil has warmed up enough to flow and that can cause all kinds of issue, from pump failure to cracks in lines. So it really isn't good but it will not show up in your oil analysis until something fails (and likely catastrophically) leaving your engine entirely without lubrication (you should get an immediate oil pressure alarm though when that happens, the sooner you can switch it off after that smaller the chance of damage).

On my car even with the 0W30 in it in winter the oil pressure starts almost at the top of the scale and as the oil warms up it drops, by the time it is warm enough at idle it sits at the lowest point on the scale + 1 unit. If I use the more sluggish summer oil for too long in winter I'll see it peg the needle on the oil pressure meter, and I have no idea how high it really is. So there is a substantial difference between the two, running temp is more or less the same when the engine is well and truly warmed up.
I respect the 40B investment by Paris, but also mentionable is that city by car is very doable. It almost felt like a secret treat we had this rainy summer holiday - no congestions and we could park side of street at all the hot spots paying with one of the parking apps.

The end of Moore's law is a blessing in disguise imho.

For too long, software has been written to make inefficient use of hardware, and/or designed with only next quarter's profit in mind. Based on the implicit assumption that faster hardware is just around the corner, and will make crappy software look decent. Security, frugal use of resources, reliability, maintenance, most anything was sacrificed in order to put products/services out there asap. Once out there, a continuous upgrade treadmill, and 3..5y later it's ewaste / bitrotted away.

We can put more compute in a few mm^2 than any human ever needs, at ridiculous low cost. It's about time the software world gets a breather, makes slow UIs fast again, and does some rework to dump the GBs of crap that populates today's systems.
