Kinda sad that Netflix opted for quantity over quality. It shows with all the inane sequels like Murder mystery 2, Extraction 2 and with the idea of just filling an uninteresting script with some stars to make the numbers like Red Notice. And many of the top 50 shows reflect just that. The last Netflix original I watched and liked was The Queen's Gambit.
Because we gave up on holding them accountable.

Suppose there was death penalty for this type of behaviour. If you default of $100M of debt you are executed, no limited liability shroud, no bankruptcy, no backsies, no do-overs -- just cold steel. Your head in a bucket, and your family destitute in the streets.

This type of behaviour would cease to exist almost immediately.

For non-subsistence farming, the amount of manure needed to replace the amount of nutrients being removed every year can result in too much of some things which can harm the ground. Growers have to be careful not to accidentally salt their ground with manure.

Manure is also very heavy, and therefore expensive to transport, and that’s without going into restrictions that kick in when moving animal waste long distances.

Pathogens, weeds and even pesticide residue are also a concern. The dairy I work with makes use of large digester tanks that help reduce these.

Basically manure is great when you are close to a source (like a dairy), but you can’t put on too much or move it around too far without issues. So there is value in being able to economically break it up into it’s components.
Video games are a better market than toys for children, sure, but it still doesn't feel like a reliable bet for Hasbro to get into.

Particularly the mention of video game licensing rather than development just screams execs amazed at how well that did, but I think they're overestimating how much they can make that repeatable. What with Pathfinder and Divinity games having laid the foundation for a CRPG comeback, Baldur's Gate 2 being one of those games still talked about nearly 25 years later, the wave of growth TTRPGs and derivatives got over the pandemic (see also the critical role amazon shows), there was a lot weighing in favour of BG3 that I don't think is repeatable on a more frequent basis. Not to mention Hasbro being relatively hands off and probably having forgotten they licensed it out.

I think Hasbro think they're going to knock out Baldur Gate 3's and that it was their brand that provided all the value so they can charge the next people more, and maybe stuff it full of microtransactions. But I think much more likely is an outcome like the opening of Warhammer, a bunch of "ehh, it did ok I guess" mid tier games, and if they try to extract too much value from it they'll crush it.

I wanted the $40-50k Lightning. I called all of my dealers I've ever bought from. None of them had it. They had the $80-100k Lightnings.

The couple of people I know who got the base model got them through buying fleet trucks. I cannot afford to buy 5 trucks, I can't afford to buy 1 truck at the current prices.

Thankfully, my 2019 Ford Ranger is probably the closest to the perfect truck as I think I can get, big enough to handle 8 foot lumber, small enough to drive in any congested city (at least in America).
I hear a lot of push-back and skepticism here about uncontextualized ideas coming from permaculture design, and I have learned to make it clear about the frame, paradigm, and worldview I am speaking from. A common push-back is about efficiency and scale and confusing it for efficacy.

Going along further down this road, what's a bit of a mind twister is when I assert it's better to approach Kuberenetes like gardening. A lot of the apparent complexity are actually part of the self-healing mechanisms.

As far as Taoist philosophy goes, not everyone buys into that, and there are multiple ways to interpret and approach Taoism. Still, have you ever read a book entitled, "Treatise on Efficacy"?

It's HIPAA.

IANAL: And unless 23andMe meets the HIPAA definition of a "covered entity", which I'm not sure they do, they're not going to be covered by HIPAA.
Exactly. With traditional development it is very expensive if you find a core problem in late development. In rapid development you expect to catch it early.
I skim through headers of 100+ vote submission daily, and since 7.10 I haven't seen anything about this conflict until recently, and now this is second in last week. Since the discussion usually tend to be broad topic rather than specific link, this feels a lot (I left a single comment last time and was flooded by responses). Both entries are talking negatively about Israel (I think specifically Al Jazeera is not very good source being affiliated with Qatari government) so it feels kind of biased; of course it may just reflect HN users opinion, but the comments were more balanced?
For sure it is vague. But there is already law covering illegal business practices and competition. Without understanding Japanese its hard to say if its under that umbrella, which might make it not vague at all.
As someone else said you don't need to train any models, also - small LLMs (7b~) can run really well even on a base M1 Macbook air from 3 years ago.

For those who don't eat and breathe this stuff, "basebands" are the processors that do all the cellular radio stuff on your smartphone. They're separate from device CPUs (referred to as the Application Processor), and are loaded with firmware.

This post is about securing the firmware that runs on these little processors. When baseband firmware is compromised, it can lead to complete device compromise.
We used Openstack for a while, but overall it was a nightmare. I'm sure it's better than it used to be, but it is not simple to spin up or maintain, and it's not designed to baby VMs -- if one acts up they expect you to delete and recreate it, which works OK for microservices but not for huge Windows terminal servers.
Just like some Israelis support expelling all Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan and settling these territories with Israelis. The only "side" that's not wrong (IMO) is the one that condemns violence against civilians and is for peace and the two state solution, this "side" exists among both Israelis and Palestinians (but is the minority for both).
Borland did a lot of thrashing around that point. They were a great language company, but they wanted to be Microsoft. At one point they had their own spreadsheet (which was pretty good, but DOS only) and their own database manager. And some of their language products were weird (Turbo Prolog, which, so Prolog people tell me, wasn't quite Prolog).
No, the company in question made promises about the security of it and has broken those promises. Now their customer's DNA is potentially available to anyone (not just governments). They should pay dearly for breaking these promises. This is not the point of my original comment.

The person I'm responding to is victim-blaming, and also making the completely silly claim that it's irresponsible to willingly "leak" DNA through some vague lens that it's going to be used to harm your descendants for generations.

DNA sequencing is constantly becoming more affordable and accessible. Unless regulated, this will be data that gets collected and abused en-masse. It's a little expensive now, but I could easily sequence just about anyone's DNA today as long as I have some sort of physical access to a space they use. If that's the commenters concern, they'd be much better off focusing on that rather than blaming people for expecting a company to keep medical data secure.
I doubt there's publicly available evidence.

Assuming incompetence before malice, I'd say that Qualcomm and the other 5G baseband manufacturers have such a moat around cellular modems that it doesn't need to be secure. It's not a competitive advantage. A security critical application simply assumes that the network and the 5G baseband are compromised.
I have a lot of hope the open core movement is going to help, but right now it's still bonkers hard and expensive & special to attach a good modern bus to a chip. Having ram or USB3+ or PCIe or soon CXL - much less BT or wifi! - is a totally different kind of feat that open silicon seems far off from. The LiteX folks come to mind as deserving as big nod here but I think mainly fpga not basic targeting. A connected computer still feels so far off.

It's pretty interesting seeing some plateau forming commercially. The new Intel n100 - n30p chips look awesome. But they compete with mini-pc systems built around 20-65W desktop chips from 3-10 years ago that have a huge cheap second hand market. And they are a bit more power efficient but not vastly, producing similar power. But, good news, Intel & oems can have new systems using these chips on the market for competitive prices. Being able to compete with your own secondary market is a great sign to me.
I mean, of course. A lot of things would happen differently in business if the decision makers shared consequences and downside with the worker bees. Our system unfortunately is set up such that the executive class reaps the majority of the rewards and upside, while the workers primarily shoulder the downside.

Like it or not, Gaza's citizens chose Hamas as their elected government. Said government chose to go start a war with Israel. War is not elegant, and unfortunately innocent citizens on both sides pay the price.

"""Nevertheless, it has been estimated that 74% of the variance in human eye colour can be explained by one interval on chromosome 15 that contains the OCA2 gene"""

That's about blue/brown, and realistically, there are a bunch of other genes which also have effects, as "eye color" is really a collection of phenotypes, not just a single one.
It shouldn't be legal for a transfer of a revocable license to be described as "buying".
1) Common law versus civil law. We rely a lot more on private lawsuits than on regulator action. This is probably a mistake, given that it sure looks like it adds costs to common law countries with little to no benefit (and, arguably, harm) but it’s what we have.

2) The consumer protection laws we do have, and the bodies to enforce them, are relatively weak and enforcement is spotty at best. The most recent serious attempt to kinda fix this is the formation of the CFPB, and one of our two relevant political parties deliberately prevents it from working when they hold the White House (sample size of one, admittedly) and has been trying to totally kill it, in the legislature or (better, because it’s popular and this is deniable) in the courts.

Feces ... is microorganisms, mostly bacteria. It is mostly correct to say poo is made up of bacteria. Lots of kinds, lots of species. Soil is likewise alive.

If you kill everything you take a competitive ecosystem of many species and leave raw materials for the next, most invasive colonizer which is often more likely to cause disease.

Sterilizing manure is likewise pointless unless kept in a sealed container, once you expose it to the world it's going to get something alive in it real quick.

To prevent disease you really need to do the opposite, let it ferment longer to allow the various waves of decomposers access to break down and metabolize as much as possible to get the resulting material further away from what it would be like inside a living body as the more different environments are, the less likely species will be able to thrive in both environments. (this is why fermenting pickles works, microbes that find salty veggies tasty won't find you tasty because you're not nearly so salty or acidic)

You do sterilize manure as mushroom culture to prevent competition with the fungi, but that is done in quite controlled environments.

proxmox is presently not an alternative to the VMWare stack.
Not even close.
Converting from the VMWare stack⭢ proxmox would be a giant shitshow.

I have been a paying user of WMware personally since the beginning and
I have worked on their enterprise stack for several years.
With the changes being made I cant see myself wanting to spend any personal
money on it I and I would not recommend someone to start fresh with it,
but for a lot of enterprises, they will, short term, have little choice
than to pay the fees.

>> The last of the patents on LFP expired last year. Up until then, the patent holders made a deal where Chinese companies could produce the cells, but not export them <<

China did negotiate a deal with a patent consortium in Suisse to license LFP royalty-free for all domestic use. But then I wonder what the point was, since all foreign battery makers/patent holders such as LG (NCM), Panasonic (NCA) were required to give up their IP Rights in order to acces China's NEV market, or China would have ignored their IP Rights anyway.

>> So that appears to be the reason for so much investment in the space in recent times. <<

Sure, there has been some improvement, but LFP is still mostly limited to entry-level, low-range EVs. The recent rise of LFP is largely attributable to the various COVID related auto component shortages and price spike in battery raw materials past few years. The average price of lithium however plunged by some 80% since last November and once 400+GWh new production capacity come up in the US, I suspect that LFP won't be as competitive.

> what you mean by epistemic soundness

This, for starters:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-epistemic/

You know that word "is" you use now and then? That word is fundamentally based in epistemology.

> and sometimes, suboptimal gameplay results in large quantities of death. Is curiosity about that a good thing?

Do you understand that part?

I will add some clarity: by "suboptimal gameplay", I am referring to the individual and collective behaviour of human beings, as it relates to causality (the consequences of our behaviour).

I am basically asking what HN's stance is on being curious about "large" quantities of (at least plausibly) unnecessary human death.
You know the US presidential election happens in 2024, right?
Meet Ashley, the first AI-powered political campaign caller
The way I see it, if you're gonna have to tighten your belt during the holidays, it's probably best to know about it sooner rather than later. By early December, people have likely already made plans for the holidays, which can easily include things that can't easily be changed (like expensive travel to go see family). Of course, that argument still applies if you're having layoffs in mid-January (right after people have done their holiday spending).

But I think it makes more sense if you look at it like this: some people feel like the holidays are already stressful enough, others feel like it's a time to be able to relax and refocus away from work. Having layoffs right at this point in time makes things even more stressful for the first group, and ruins the holiday for the second group. And in both cases, if you have layoffs in January, those affected can hit the ground running immediately rather than waiting for the New Year.
If you look at my comment history, you will see that I am, by US standards, borderline communist. I am also realist enough, to acknowlwdge the fact that people have to earn a living through work (we don't have the utopia Star Trek is showing, and even if we did I am sure reality would be more like The Expanse), and to see that, so far, a tamed version of capitalism provided, on average, the best outcome. And that means that not ever single person has the luxury to get all the meabing from a job needed to pay the bills. Heck, that was the case throughout history, the deffinition of BS is all that differed.

And no, nothing we do in the Western World, or the vast majority, is life and death. Theat is reserved for people suffering war, civil or otherwise, famine and rampant crime. Or people suffering through deregulated, unconstraint capitalism (which, I know, applies to people in the US for example, people that don't hold jobs that make up the majority of HN users so). So yes, this whole BS job thing is, IMHO, highly dubious.

Edit: Our pre-historic ancestors worked more than 15 hours, and they faced constant death by stuff we don't even blink about anymore. If Graebers counter point to modern office work, aka BS jobs, is pre-historic hunter-gatherer lifestyle this whole thing gets even more rediciulous. Fun fact, no hunter gatherer could earn a living writing books about other peoples societies and lives.
>According to the UN, over 150,000 people have been killed in Yemen, as well as estimates of more than 227,000 dead as a result of an ongoing famine and lack of healthcare facilities due to the war.

I think the OP point is why is this the only war being discussed, not that war is victimless.
It can but doesn't necessarily, right? There's a variety of interconnect and IOMMU architectures here, so it's not a given that a baseband processor has or is one step away from unrestricted access to the whole platform.
