>Graphics programming skill (by 'skill', I mean being able to write a shader pipeline that both satisfies the art direction and performs well), on the contrary, is very deeply tied to a good understanding of hardware.

I'm not entirely sure I agree in the modern day sense. Especially if our analouge is webdev. So much of industry is using UE and Unity that you probably can be a "graphics programmer" professionally without ever knowing what a vertex buffer is (only slightly exaggerating). Your ultimate job is either to a) make images look better b) make images run faster or c) make sure images can get put into the engine properly. And a high level understanding and implentation of shaders/texturing concepts and understanding which settings run slower on those engines (even if you can't explain them in detail) can get you pretty far in those regards.

you're certainly SOL once you move out of your engine of choice, but you can definiely be productive enough to get hired if you got a foot in the door.
Ask HN: I would like an honest discussion about this math proof?

> it's hard to not notice that modern AML/KYC banking laws are rapidly degrading into complete bullshit

They were always bullshit from day one. AML/KYC is literally the financial arm of warrantless global mass surveillance. To me it's comical when I see HN defending unlimited strong cryptography and yet drawing the line at untraceable financial transactions. They are one and the same.
It's a pain, but it's the reality that we're stuck with. If you go out of your way to hide failure or burn yourself out trying to never fail, how is that better? What's a realistic alternative to accepting that you're human and might make mistakes, and accepting that some places are simply too dysfunctional to be able to handle it?
I think you'll have better luck asking this question on stackexchange: https://math.stackexchange.com/
This one is normal (every tesla I know of does this, ymmv of course). However their older model 3 and y were equipped with some very shoddy engineered suspension arms which, over time, started to creak because water can enter them. Also all the water from the front window was/is distributed more or less directly over the suspension arms. Newer models have somewhat better suspension arms equipped.
Seems like the two main difficulties in moving forward on this proposal are the name itself and agreeing on an API that's idiomatic to JavaScript, basically finding the right balance between simplicity and performance.

Perhaps a case of perfect being the enemy of good here.
In most jurisdictions businesses must have a physical address, in fact it is a requirement to incorporate.

Closer to the quantization as seen in JPEG compression.
I have noticed this, and I've been thoroughly impressed by spider's ability to assess a situation. For whatever reason they love to get stuck in my bathtub, and while the smaller house spiders are a bit slow, a few times I had the larger hunting spiders (either wolf or brown recluse I think) voluntarily walk on the container like it knew I was helping. A few other times I had them living in the corner of the bathroom, and when I turned on the shower they would casually stroll out of the bathroom (to avoid the steam?). Pretty cool creatures, and useful since they kill mosquitoes.
I think this distinction is artificial. Programming is made of and constrained by physics: the electric field in the transistors is a real physical phenomenon. While constructions are made of concepts; just ask an architect about "negative space".
Nice,

I currently do "curl ipinfo.io" which returns json, and seems to use a more accurate geo lookup (based on the hotel wifi I'm currently on). It doesn't report the network though, and the ASN is a string of asn and name, no org or country, so that's a bonus.

However

curl ip.guide

just returns blank (there's a redirect). If you follow the redirect with -L the json isn't pretty-printed.
I’ve been using Ruby since 1.7 and think the new syntax is fantastic. I hope you’re not weaponizing Rubocop in team or community projects in a manner that discourages “hip young” Rubyists from learning and exploring new ways of pushing the language & runtime forward.

One of the ideas of this project is, to NOT use concrete, to not have CO2 emmisions.

And depending on the "skill" of the robot and its algorithms, it could be very stable. I know that quite some ancient buildings in south america are put together just with stones put together(with precision and shaping of stones). They survived earthquakes and are still standing. So if enough stones of various shapes are avaiable - you won't need concrete. The weight and friction will hold them together.
They quickly delete any posts related to such a proof. Or at least any of my posts about it
You should take both of those announcements with a huge dollop of salt. Even the article you shared is extremely skeptical of the actual progress of Tesla's robot. And Chinese press releases should really not be read into too much - they are often much more for internal signalling then information.

Either way, there are companies which are much farther along than those - Boston Dynamics has a series of extremely impressive robots. They are still very far away from being a consumer technology. The kinds of physical power required to achieve the movements makes them extremely dangerous to be around on any malfunction or glitch, and they are very heavy machinery. Even animals and other humans, which are far more advanced in terms of their ability to control their movements, sometimes accidentally hurt others (stepping on your toes, turning around and hitting you when they didn't know you're there, etc.). Imagine a several hundred kilo machine stepping on your toes with its full weight just because it mis-estimated your movements.
spot-on.

it helps to recall that ETSI, despite being some opaque standards org is made of people[1] like you and me (many not in Europe) who helped draft this abomination of a standard. This is disguised as digital identity but the interest groups are mostly law-enforcement, and the same crowd that is pushing "chatcontrol", and "regulating cryptography".

Didn’t you get an NIE? I had one immediately (so did my whole family), the card wasn’t paper, and it was treated as identical to the Spanish ID. And yes it was super convenient certificates and all. I had to use the certs once and was afraid (due to past experience) but honestly it “just worked”.

Maybe EU citizens don’t get an NIE, though? I’m from further away.

If it was meant to be a guidebook with examples, why all the fuss about it?

You don't see people worshipping Cooking for Dummies, so why are we so cult-y about Scrum or The Phoenix Project. What's with the weird zen/Kung fu kind of vibe of it, as if they have just discovered sliced fknin bread?

Sadly, I genuinely think that for some people the Phoenix Project is an eye opener. Their enthusiasm on just discovering how to be a professional in the role they have been half assing for decades bugs the living crap out of me.

To me, reading TPP felt like reading a patronizing self help book. I found it nauseating, shallow, bland, and anyone expressing even a tinge of enthusiasm about it feels like an affront to my sensibilities.
Whereas on the classical side of wealth, gorillions are held by anonymous layers of legal bodies that allow quick shifting of assets out of taxation and circumvent eg. weapon embargos.

Its the messiness the article speaks about and it mostly works for the few and not the many.

It would be helpful for us to realize that it is that what goverments do like, aka sustain, because the existing power structures rely on it.

IIUC cm precision should be fine if the algorithms looking for stable placement accounts for that cm (and reality id imagine it’d account for less precision than that). If a placement needs sub cm precision the algorithm would just discard that option.

Additionally there shouldn’t be any accumulation in a specific direction. Any accumulated gaps would be accounted for when placing the next rock and rectified to within a cm.

All of that's assuming that demand will continue. What this will do is remove crypto from the mainstream. And without paid celebrity endorsements, where will the new dumb money inflow come from? And if that dries up, how will the mining rigs pay their electricity bills?
A corporation that's able to do business globally but is not domiciled anywhere is analogous to a person who can travel anywhere but doesn't have any citizenship or a passport.

The latter sounds obviously like a fantasy — it's simply not how any of this works. What makes anyone think the former is feasible?
The Thompson story is very telling about C and how semantically powerful it is. KT tried to rewrite UNIX in B at some time, but he failed. Assembly allows you to do many interesting things because it is a low level language, and yet you can build abstractions, so it was a better language than B to write UNIX. But once B got structures, and was starting to become C, things changed. Structures with fields and pointers to other structures is the ha-ha moment of C. It is what really makes the whole language so special. With this simple building block you can start building abstractions that are able to abstract away low level details, while, at the same time, you have full control on low level details.
At the exec level, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) is primarily responsible for maintaining availability of the network systems and data, but the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is responsible for securing systems and data. Sometimes they are same-level positions and compete for authority + resources. Sometimes CISO is subordinate to CIO. CIO supports profit centers, whereas CISO is entire a cost center and is focused on preventing losses.

The problem is that the competing interests aren’t exactly comparable apples-to-apples. Should every system get OS patches ASAP? Yes if you want to minimize the security surface area. No if the upgrade creates some adverse affect on employee/system. Testing can reveal the latter, but it takes time, which is the enemy of unpatched systems.

Low level IT workers are given instructions and incentives to follow established security procedures (including overseeing patching). Their supervisors are the ones who must make the call when it comes to how much testing is sufficient before forcing those patches.

While I'm definitely a "crypto skeptic", I think it's probably going to persist in this niche of "US-equivalent hawala banking for people who aren't allowed the stability of the US dollar".

People worried about US hyperinflation are nuts. People worried about Argentine hyperinflation have a reasonable point.

A big problem with everything is that digital money has no scale. It's reasonable to want to stop people transacting billions of dollars for Russian weapons and it's not reasonable to pursue every last Russian national. But in an electronic system "one" and "one billion" fit in the same field.

Seems like an advert for their Product SPR: Secure Programmable Routers. I don't know their system, so don't see the rest of my comment as a critique.

If your systems supports VLAN tagging per SSID there is an option to make the single Router setup more secure. This will most likely only apply to companies and home labs. For example at my company we have Zyxel gear were we can tag WLAN connections with a VLAN based on the SSID.

Beware, simplified description ahead. We have a Guest SSID. All connections from this SSID get tagged with a dedicated VLAN on the Access Points. The traffic is then routed to our Firewall and from there to the internet. All switches in between use the VLAN to prevent Guest connections from reaching any other devices on the LAN.
If you zoom in you can see that it's a polygon like mesh. It's certainly supposed to be how the rocks are represented in the system.

cmd+d working was a surprise!
Logically you'd keep as many parts as possible inside, where the temperature is easier to control?
This part takes the least to claim the worst isn’t here. Akin to saying Al Capone was “just doing dishes” when he was arrested, why would you.

There are various illegal parts: Creating a currency for example. But even if one can walk around the definition of a currency, exchanging it for dollars is most probably questionable: You give banknotes to someone in exchange for a token which you don’t know how it was obtained. In most cases, it is facilitating drug exchange and hitmen, so, unless one can prove where a Bitcoin comes from, I’m surprised it is even legal to exchange it for tender money.

The whole thing should have been sued from the start.

Krita is a great piece of software for certain tasks, for sure. I use it alongside Blender, GIMP, and Inkscape. Well worth keeping it installed and ready for those times it's just the best tool for the job at hand.
Idea: create a journal that is GitHub based.

It generates any data plots/tables through CI, which means you need to have your data available and consumable, and containerised code. Its PR reviewers are scientists doing peer review.

Then you get public review and comment, reproducible environments, and open data.
First party bot support is one of the biggest reasons I stick with Telegram and Discord for communication.

Renaults unofficial slogan is " tous les jours un bruit nouveau", which means "every day a new noise".

I agree with this, I should have been more specific, I really meant it from the researchers perspective, they are trying to make NN's that more closely model the brain for their brain research, not for AGI, so in that regard, the research was looking at how constraints affect learning, and whether applying constraints might result in a network that more closely mirrors brain activity, for AI purposes, we want smart machines, not necessarily a model of the brain with all it's additional functions aside from 'intelligence' :)
Is it surprising that people sometimes lie and cheat? No, of course not.

Is it surprising that people who lie and cheat sometimes obtain an advantage by doing so? Again, no.

But yes, I do think we would be better off without people lying and cheating.

IANAL and I do not claim that the law was necessarily broken in this instance, but the intent was clearly to deceive a business partner in order to obtain a financial advantage. I mean just look at SA's own words here:

> So we hired a bunch of our college friends to 'work' for us for the day so we could look larger than we actually were

The deceptive intent is explicit in his own description of events. It's honestly quite silly that you are looking for some semantic get-out clause here when SA's own statement is so explicit.

Just wanted to share that in my country (Spain) and more concretely in my area (rural part of Catalonia) we have a building technique called “Pedra Seca” literal translation is “Dry Stone”. It basically involves building stuff with just rocks, nothing more. It’s still in use mostly in agricultural fields.

Do 0w-30 not Xw-20. The number on the left is cold temperature performance, where cold temperature =not at operating temperature.

The number on the right is in the manual and you only change it when you go to the track.

Atm you're running a lighter oil than your car is designed to use and it's very likely to be a bad idea.

In the video you linked the only oils you can compare in the way he is comparing them are the 0w-20 and the 5w-20.

Later edit: I've watched that and since the tests the oils only at cold temperature it is entirely inconclusive wrt protection at operating temperature.

And cooking test is just dumb. Your oil rarely above operating spec. The only oil exposure to above spec temps is the oil in the top side while the engine is cooking after being stopped, and the oil in the burn chamber which burns and is then filtered out.

If you want to know how your oil is doing collect it after a service interval and send it to be tested.

This is a failure of the business, not security per se. A proper impact analysis of changes should be conducted along with risk analysis to determine if the change is even warranted.

Security themselves aren't usually qualified to know how things will affect everyone and all processes, any more than anyone else is in the business for things outside their domain.

If you allow one bit of the business to run rampant and put their needs ahead of all others, you will get bad outcomes, whether that department is security, or development or IT infrastructure, or marketing, or whoever.

So I disagree with your carrot and stick approach. It's not about holding people who may have a good reason to want something accountable for all the other possible negative effects of it. It requires a business that is properly managing itself and balancing all the differing needs within it.
World facing 'hellish' 3C of climate heating, UN warns
The article's viewpoint relies on accepting AML regulations and financial surveillance as beneficial. In my view, CZ is not a villain; he ran a popular business without defrauding customers. There were no victims. His wrongdoing lies in not taking his "police" role seriously enough. As per AML regulations, he had a duty to investigate customers and de-platform those that he considered criminal, all without due process of course. However, he chose not to strictly adhere to this role. Yes he broke laws, unethical laws that do more harm than good. I don't know to what degree CZ was motivated by personal gain vs principle but I don't believe he deserves the "Bond villain" label.
