In FIDO a separate public+private key pair is minted for each (key,site) pairing. This has lots of important benefits, but one is that it preserves existing anonymity.

If I use a Security Key to sign into Facebook as "Melissa Smith" and use the same Security Key to sign into my GitHub account "acab420", even if Facebook and Microsoft work very hard they can't correlate the information they have to prove those are being authenticated with the same authenticator. The keys are different, as they would be if these were different authenticators.

You might think it's impossible for FIDO1 or in scenarios where it's "just" a second factor and isn't storing anything for the site on your key, but there's a really clever trick. The Relying Party (e.g. web site) is required to remember a large random-looking "ID" for your key. Those aren't really random - they're effectively your private key for that site, but encrypted using a symmetric key only your authenticator knows. It encrypted its own private key and just sent that, in plain text, knowing it's impossible to decrypt (typically AES-128 or similar) and when the ID is sent back, the authenticator just decrypts it. AEAD is used, so an authenticator can tell if this ID isn't one it made because the AEAD fails.
Most jews emigrated, that's true, the number killed in pogroms was not huge generally in the hundreds in any given events. Nevertheless at various times in various countries they were often banned form selling property, banned from using banks, denied legal paperwork, various banned from emigrating or forcible expelled. Of course many chose to go because they had somewhere to go.

However the idea that this was the main driving force isn't compatible with the actual pattern of emigration. If the pull from Israel was the dominant factor we'd expect to see more or less uniform emigration from Arab countries. We don't, rather emigration was at different times from different places, driven by local conditions and government policies. For example the mass emigration of most Persian jews was very late compared to Arab countries, coinciding with the Iranian revolution in the 1970s.

I would say your comment is most definitely rude, especially the part where you reduce the reason for the text to two options, neither of which are very flattering. Incidentally, it seems like neither of your given reasons are accurate either.

You could have gotten the same idea across by saying something like "This is a visual project so I feel like it should include more screenshots in the main description" and leaving the insulting assumptions out entirely.

SOPS is only an alternative for vault KV Store. Even then, it requires a lot of manual plumbing when you have operators and Terraform pushing secrets or keys into Vault KV.

To replace SSH Sign and Cert Authority or databases engines, both generating short-lived credentials on-demand, SOPS will not easily solve the issue.

If you only need KV Store, SOPS experience is way better than Vault and maintenance cost is low.

If the model is closed and served through an API, probably not.

But at the moment Mistral seems to focus on smaller and efficient models that you can fine-tuned and run on your own infrastructure.

Mistral 7b was free but if they come up with larger capable models, they can offer them with a non-commercial free license and a sell a commercial license for companies that need to fine-tune it.

Looking at the performance of small fine-tuned models on specific tasks, I think most company will prefer taking that route rather than trusting OpenAI with their own data, the market is huge I think.
It used to be common wisdom that for hyper marathons you needed to sleep. People thought that you can not run a few days non stop. And then Cliff Young proved that theory wrong. And now they run non-stop, at least for the Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon.
Hacking vs. cracking is a useful system of classification, but the distinction is not absolute, there is a gray area between these two. Many well-respected hackers started their careers by compromising systems of other organizations, cracking copy-protection in commercial systems, or obtaining privileged information about proprietary systems (famously AT&T's telephone system), but these acts were committed mostly out of curiosity, as technical challenges, or as a protest of the perceived power imbalance that violates the spirit of hacking - rather than motivated by monetary gains or a desire to bring mayhem and destruction. Whether or not these activities are acceptable depends on someone's own personal interpretation in a case-by-case basis.

'Piracy' is the wrong thing to call it.

Perhaps the gatekeepers you describe are the same ones who pushed the term 'piracy' this way; to describe any human who copies chunks of 1s and 0s they feel protective of.

Meanwhile, real pirates really steal real physical goods from real people.

How do you mean protest? Do you mean people in the streets? No, that didn't happen.

Do you mean inter-governmental protest in the form of summoning an ambassador and dressing them down? In the form of sternly worded demarches asking for clarification? In diplomatic discussions that frankly announced our relationship was injured? Yes that very much happened. A relationship was impaired and Germany was quite diplomatically clear about it.

Diplomatic protest does not need to be public to be effective.

I disagree with some of this. I think if you work with international teams, half of the time of day stuff is in play no matter what. But in general I sort of agree that we should all try to work slower/work fewer hours, for the good of society. But we shouldn’t harass those who have more time and interest in the work they’re doing and want to work more, or those who might need more breaks or work most optimally at a slower pace. We should care about workers collectively and individually, I think.

> Is it really possible to build games line Cities Skylines, Subnautica, Rust, Outer Wilds, KSP, Ori... in Godot? Is this more of a long term ambition at this point, or is it possible for this kind of game to be built in Godot today?

This might be a bit silly, but when it comes to engines and tools in regards to graphical fidelity and larger projects, I like to think of it in 3 broad categories:

* Impossible - you're not making the next Crysis in GameMaker, Construct, or RPG Maker. Period.
* Unviable - you could technically rip out and replace 50% of jMonkeyEngine or NeoAxis with something more performant and better, if you had near-unlimited resources; except we both know it's not happening.
* Viable - you could take an off-the-shelf engine like Unity or Unreal and with a large amount of work achieve your goals, with varying degrees of success.

Godot was strictly in the "unviable" group during its 2.X and 3.X releases, but is getting better now (new renderer, nice LOD functionality, good C# support in addition to GDScript when you don't want to program gameplay in C++) and thanks to community efforts missing functionality is also getting added (like the terrain plugins, the older of which were sometimes quite broken): https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset It still doesn't have that big of a commercial ecosystem around it (like Unity does) and still feels a bit half baked at times and getting the same things you could get out of Unity or Unreal working would take more work for larger projects... but it feels more and more doable.

Then again, currently Godot is hands down better for smaller projects, a lot of indie games, game jam games and quick prototyping, both Unity and Unreal feel too sluggish and heavyweight for that (and Unity in particular is a mess because of the whole legacy pipeline/URP/HDRP situation, DOTS, multiple input systems, multiple UI solutions and just so much fragmentation). Not every game needs to have the scale of the ones previously listed, actually most don't and should better manage their scope and could still be wildly successful.

Overall, it feels trending upwards and I'm curious to see where Godot will be in 5-10 years. If you tried right now, you'd just have all the normal early adopter struggles.

One can give analogous reasons (literally his main reason is it looks nicer lol) and practical examples that looks nicer in 1-based indexing too. It's a terrible argument that somehow got memed over way too long a time. Probably because no one needs to read the text, just post the link and you're done.

This is what lawyers are for. Instead of two companies actually competing, each spends a bunch of dollars on lawyers to fight in court. The one who spends the most dollars on lawyers wins.

Just to be clear, there is a lot of sarcasm here. But I think there is a bit of truth too.
With the resources available at that level the only limiting factors seem to be leadership and what's actually possible. So I think it's fair to hold them to a high standard.

I am not claiming Israel is ideal, it certainly isn't. The nakba was a real event too. There are plenty of jewish extremists.

I am simply pointing out that decrying Israel as an ethno-state while giving Arab countries a free pass on that, or even denying their mass expulsions and appropriation of property happened at all, is absurd.

Dedicating a whole hallway sound like an extremely expensive accommodation for hypothetical use.
Can someone answer CS 101 questions about this please.

I know there are other methods related to matrix factorization, but I’m asking specifically about quantization.

Does quantization literally mean the weight matrix floats are being represented using fewer bits than the 64 bit standard?

Second, if fewer bits are being used, are CPUs able to do math directly on fewer bits? Aren’t CPU registers still 64 bit? Are these floats converted back to 64 bit for math, or is there some clever packing technique where a 64 bit float actually represents many numbers (sort of a hackey simd instruction)? Or do modern CPUs have the hardware to do math on fewer bits?
Im looking forward to the msft copilot integration in office that can answer my emails and write transcripts of calls with to-dos. It will save time, but i think it will just up the ante since the culture is what got us here. And the risk of deals failing means you have to work on many at a time and accept as much as 100% swings in comp year to year. I would love to learn python, i figure with chatgpt i can learn it quickly. I learned vba with it and built bigger, crazier financial models but i still work the same amount… even my boss who is 50 is doing the same hrs.

With ai is it even worth it to try to get started in software or robotics? I feel like i will not be able to get a job bc these systems are advancing so fast, they will take the jr jobs first.

Value in my industry is really created from relationships (origination). The modeling and analysis work can probably be automated away with ai in a short time. I’m trying to bring the firm in that direction so that i can manage that.

This is a surprising statement as I haven’t heard of such an event happening and I’ve followed these events fairly closely.

When was the civilian massacre? Do you have a source? Or did you make it up?

> peaceful Israel within the 1967 boundaries

Israel was previously peaceful within the 1967 boundaries, in 1967. Arab states tried to destroy it in 1967 and again in 1973, resulting in Israel gaining land, something arab states now blame on Israel.
I'm curious about how to add this to my coffee brewing process. Is there an optimal amount of water for a given weight of beans? Does it need to be a "spritz" rather than a "drop"?

I think solutions to this are more likely to come out of introspection of what you actually want in life, rather than a clever hack that gets you a high-paying programming job straight away.

Some questions that might be interesting to ask yourself:

- How much money do you actually need?
- Are there things beyond money that stop you wanting to be a junior dev (status, networks and friendships, parts of your identity)?
- Could you afford to take a year or more off work? If so, would a job where you have a junior dev salary be strictly better than that, financially?
- Are there ways you could "actually build something" that would be satisfying to you, that don't require a career jump? For example, maybe there are roles or companies in your current industry that offer better work/life balance (at the cost of some salary) and would allow you time for hobbies.
- You don't have to be a developer to work in tech. FAANG are massive companies with all sorts of employees (lawyers, doctors, investors, finance people). Are there roles at the big tech companies that would fit into your existing skill set, where you wouldn't take such a hit to salary? Would those satisfy you, or are you more concerned with changing your day-to-day work?

Ask HN: Slowly Losing Interest in Software Engineering, should I be worried?
I've spent most of my teenage years tinkering around with programming, afterwards I spent 4 years pursuing my CS degree.

I worked as a tutor for 2 years, and a software engineer for 2 years.

Now, I got a job in a field that's not related to software engineering, let alone computer science, getting this job instead of a software engineering one has a lot of reasons and is not worth getting into to be honest.

Recently, I started to feel bad, really bad, because I was feeling like I've been slowly drifting away from software engineering, and all of the hard work I've made and the time I spent learning it is going to waste.

I want to start working on a side project but I no idea comes to mind!

Any tips to cope with this, what would of you done if you were in my place?

"Investors"
A strategy I've used since covid is to go into the office in the morning for my focus work. My mind works best then and I can also satisfy our current requirements for being at the office some of the time. Then I go home at noon, or 1 if I had some momentum on something. Then the afternoon is spent in the mindless teams/zoom/etc meetings and emailing. It's a pretty productive arrangement for me. Though it does break down when people insist on morning meetings. Then I get nothing done.
