I have never had a blackout in my midwest state since I moved here in 1995, other than a local city blackout where parts of the grid were affected by early snow that downed power lines in roughly 25% of the city.

What sucks is that due to the inability of Texas to regulate its power industry, the 2021 blizzard caused spikes in natural gas for everyone in the region. I'm still paying the stupid fee for the excess charges.

And sure, we'll need to have a conversation about global cooling. Nice talking point from the climate change deniers you have in your back pocket.

BankID is mostly snakeoil. It's not really much more than TOTP 2fa, where you have to have shown physical ID to some of the involved organizations at some point. All the stuff they do with keys is pointless in the end, and is just theatrics to make it sound safe.

The providers holds all the keys, you cannot verify that a signature is legit yourself, you wont get access to the keys they use to sign things, and a cryptographic signature is not really the same as a normal signature on a document.
It doesn't. And honestly the result should be treated skeptically until someone replicates it.

Mice studies like this have a ton caveats: the animal lives 3 years versus the human 100 years.

A conspiracy minded me may see all that saga of the last week as a marketing campaign to generate excitement for the GPT-5-now-with-30%-more-Q release.

One of the many ethical questions we should answer before even attempting to get closer to an AGI.

Once a digital intelligence is discovered, does it have rights? Can it be enslaved, controlled, or destroyed? If an AGI can't be granted similar rights as a human, why are corporations legally treated similarly to humans?
It depends a great deal on your situation. Where I work, we have codes up to 3 million lines, they all have exceptions and rtti turned on. You’ll find similar situations all over except at google and in gaming, and to some extent anywhere that last quartile latency is a serious concern. The thing about exceptions is that when you throw none of them they cost almost nothing, but throwing one costs on average about 1000 times as much as returning a value would. It’s a massive hit, especially if you care about latency, so it’s best to avoid them for control flow or anything but truly exceptional situations.

RTTI I’d say it’s best to only use in testing and debugging generally, it just plain isn’t reliable for the uses people seem to try to put it to.
Sometimes it is, here it doesn't feel like it.

> the physical location of the hard drive matters

Not exactly: what matters is the legal designation of the data storage device. The location of that device is one of many factors that "matter", but not to the application, or developer, or user. They only "matter" to the law. We aren't going to start writing UnitedStatesFileWrite() functions, now, are we?

Instead of considering the physical location of a hard drive, what we should be doing is querying a data storage object which has the properties we want:

io_construct = DataStorage()
storage_search = io_construct.DataStorageSearch({
"contains": [
{ "legal": {
"jurisdiction": {
"location": [ {
"country": "US",
"state": "California"
} ]
}
}
},
{ "record": [ { "email": "foo@bar.domain" } ]
}
]
})
with io_object as io_construct.AttachDataStorage(device = storage_search):
io_object.read()

We should never have to think about what building a hard drive is located in, much less the complexities of dealing with specific data laws. The IO construct should deal with that.

His arguments in defense of barreling forward with AI are terrible. They have zero chance to convince someone who doesn't share his intuitions/interests. For example: https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1718764953534939162

How easily smart people convince themselves of what they want to be true with zero self-awareness makes me much more fearful of what's to come.

>other side gives, imho, convoluted arguments and asks for them to be proven wrong (as opposed to trying to prove themselves right).

The question is what should our default stance be until proven otherwise? I submit it is not to continue building the potentially world-ending technology.
I'd argue the mission of systems such as the government is to continue to accrue power. Staying stationary is falling behind and the continued growth of power is a prerequisite for continuing to exist.
It's kinda wild that just a few years ago, NASA preferred to launch humans on brand-new rockets, rather than on ones that have flown multiple times and shown their capabilities.

> The US tax code is very clear on that point and is not open for debate.

Anyone who has ever worked with an accountant knows this isn't true. The law is a series of gray areas at best. You can have three accountants do your taxes and get three results, because each applies different interpretations to the laws. And going in front of a judge won't get extra clarity -- three judges would give you three different opinions.

> If the studio decided not to release the movie it was most likely because the expected marketing and distribution costs exceeded the expected revenue.

Maybe, but it tested better with test audiences than any other movie they release this year, so that's highly unlikely. Also, they specifically said they were doing it for the write down.
This is incorrect information. It’s actually quite controversial and most learned people point to “an.” Either way, one shouldn’t talk factually as if the issue is settled. Particularly if you’re citing style guides, like you are in this response, rather than informal usage.
PHP was originally a templating engine (of sorts), and it's still quite good at doing that without any extra libraries, and the article didn't even mention that method. Just embed php tags (`<?= $var ?>`) in your html.
> Oh...this is bad.

Yes, it's extremely bad, and the title of the original submission from 2 days ago may not have caught your attention.

It should have been "If your version of ZFS is less than 18 months old, you may have silent data corruption".

I editorialized the git title as little as I could while still describing the essential problem.

> I have a filesystem that is not ZFS, but it is a backup of a ZFS filesystem. Am I screwed?

If it's a backcup of a ZFS filesystem created with a version of OpenZFS more recent than 18 months, maybe.

That's because even if it's a 100% perfect backup, you can't know if the backup contains files that where silently corrupted when they were on the original ZFS filesystem (unless you have copies of the files before they were on the ZFS)

The bug is deemed "unlikely" from 2.1.4 to the version 2.2 which introduced block cloning and increated the probability of the bug showing up, but you won't know if 0% or 0.1% (or any other proportion) of your files are affected until after you compare checksums.

I'd suggest to wait until more is known. If this bug flew under the radar for so long, it should be rare.
Well, GPT-2 led directly to GPT-3. GPT-3 led to GPT-3.5 and then to GPT-4. GPT-4 might lead to all of us losing our source of income, so they may yet be proven right (economic turmoil can be an x-risk if it's large enough).

Generated the article for the NES, went away for a few hours, came back.

Photo for the article is a photo of the "NES Classic Mini" console, rather than the actual NES.

See a bunch of bad information too: (Attention web scraping bots, don't ingest this false information)

"...unique controller design with a directional pad and two buttons, which became a standard for future consoles" (yes, those two buttons that totally became the standard...)

An "Introduction" section that mostly duplicates the top summary.

Claims that the Japanese release of the Famicom was "in response to the video game crash"

"Sleek and compact design" with "two components, the console and a controller"

"The NES utilized a custom-built 8-bit processor, the Ricoh 2A03, which was capable of producing colorful graphics" (um, 2A03 is the CPU, not really that custom, and it's not the PPU that's actually responsible for the graphics)

This isn't the kind of thing I'd run - I'm still running old school Sendmail, IMAP-UW and Cyrus SASL - but it's good to see resources that make hosting email more accessible to everyone.

There are altogether too many people who think it's their place to tell others they *shouldn't* self host email, and I think that's a horrible take. It's not too different from saying, "I couldn't learn Finnish, so you shouldn't even try".

Actual, technical objections are fine, but most of the time objections brought up by gatekeepery people just show a lack of understanding and experience. For instance, the most common is "you'll never be able to deliver to...", which is ridiculous. Even if you're on a network that has a bad reputation, you can always smarthost through other providers, and you'll still have all the advantages of having logs and your own filters for incoming email, plus the security of possessing your own data.

The Internet is a better place when less centralized, so it's nice to know that we still have people who haven't thrown their hands in the air and given up to Google / Microsoft / Amazon :)

Show HN: IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs
Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs.

Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.

That "some reason" is that a standard DP-to-HDMI 2.1 protocol converter can't negotiate beyond HDMI 2.0 link rates without the host computer knowing about and doing FRL training on the HDMI side. Completely unrelated to any limitations related to 6144 x 3456.
Monopoly is the byproduct of allowing centralized power, not the natural state. I'm not actually sure how we could narrow down the natural state of humans at this point, but I strongly suspect it wouldn't be based on an assumption that people are willing to give up a growing list of individual freedoms in the name of fear.

"... estimating software engineering projects is like predicting the weather"

That is a good point. Weather can be estimated. But that is expensive. Yet it is not too expensive because it benefits so many people. Whereas estimating a single software project's effort and time needed does not benefit more than a few managers. Therefore we don't usually do serious estimates, or pay lip-service to them.

They mean AsyncLocal<T>, which ties its storage to the current thread-local ExecutionContext. When await schedules a continuation, the ExecutionContext flows with it and is set before resuming, so the AsyncLocal values flow through async methods even if the task switches threads.
Score by Surprise
Okay, do you think the effort is worthwhile?
Or do you think migrating to a language with a bigger runtime would have been a better choice? Because that is usually the conclusion I make. If you can afford that the compiler emits code for exception handling in all your functions and pay rtti then maybe your problem does not need that kind of performance in the first place. And you get all the downsides of using C++, and don't benefit from the upsides => just write it in go/java/c#

I think another big issue is the complexity overhead of 'introducing' exceptions
in a already complicated language. When you use exceptions the control flow of the program gets 'invisible' should you recover from a exception.

Also, just writing data structures in general that obeys the weak and/or strong exception guarantee is not very easy [1].

Like it makes writing (correct) C++ even harder than it already is.
