The kind of "no singularity" model Kerr discusses--where you have an object inside the inner horizon that replaces the ring singularity--is not actually viable. First, most physicists believe the inner horizon itself is not viable, because it is unstable against small perturbations, which any real hole will have (because there is always something falling in, even if it's just the cosmic background radiation). Second, it's not actually possible to replace the entire ring singularity with a non-singular object.

However, there is a different type of "no singularity" model in the literature, called a "Bardeen black hole" (among other things), in which there is not only no singularity, but no event horizon. What appears to us as an event horizon is actually just an apparent horizon--a surface where, locally, light cannot escape, but which will not stay that way forever; eventually it will evaporate away (by a process similar to Hawking radiation), and everything that was trapped inside will come back out (though in hugely scrambled form). So there is nowhere in this spacetime that can't send light signals to infinity; it just takes a really long time for the signals to get out from some parts of it.
Irrelevant to them.
Because the upstream developer is not the only one who needs to profile the program.

For one thing, you might be the upstream developer of a library the program links against, and your stack frames might be hidden under frames from the program that didn’t save the frame pointer. Or if it’s a library that isn’t saving the frame pointer, vice versa.

But the more interesting use case is if you’re not the upstream developer of anything, but a skilled user who wants to get a view of your entire system and diagnose problems yourself. Personally I do that all the time, both in my spare time and at work. With respect to performance in particular I have more experience with the macOS tooling than the Linux tooling, but it’s analogous – with tools like Instruments and dtrace I can get a profile of any process I want or of the entire system, and I find that incredibly valuable. And that’s made possible in part by the stock macOS toolchain enabling frame pointers by default.

The NixOS case you linked sounds rather annoying, but turning on optimizations and -Werror and PIC by default is very different from just enabling frame pointers by default.
One difference is that stone countertops are not a danger to homeowners or people doing future basic renovation.
> I think it fits really well in an OO approach, where your messages just become method calls on the actor object -- I believe Swift does that.

That’s definitely true. Here’s what I think of as a motivating example: consider a process that takes input data in an input channel, provides some sort of enrichment, and writes the result to an output channel. Simple, right? Now imagine that enrichment requires some sort of configuration data. And that’s mostly static, but there are regular updates to that configuration that are provided by some sort of side channel. In the CSP model, that’s fine: have the process read from two channels, one with input data and the other with updated configuration data. In the Actor model, you have to read from your mailbox, check if this is an input message or a configuration update, and act accordingly. There’s no sort of OO approach that makes that switch statement feel “natural.” I feel that there’s no point into trying to shoehorn both that input data and configuration updates into the same message queue. Any attempt to do so in a clean way is basically just putting arbitrary functions onto a queue.

That said, I recognize that, beyond certain edge cases, the two models are logically equivalent.
"Serious investigation" is a subjective classifier that heavily depends on who was driving, who was hit, and who is investigating.

Since 2017, Republicans have been pushing forward "hit and kill" bills to give drivers legal immunity for running down protestors. Here's an in-depth look at Iowa's such bill, prompted by the Governor's motorcade striking a single protestor that stood in their way. Not a crowd that stood in their way, a single person with a megaphone at a public event.

Hm. That seems unlikely.

Try and stop me. I LOVE Costco.

Basically, when I buy something at a regular store, I'm shocked at the recent inflation.

But at Costco, most things have barely budged at all in the past few years. And that's starting at a lower base as well - at the moment it's simply nuts how much cheaper things are there.

In fact, if you look at their financial statements, their entire profit equals their membership fee income - this means you're buying things at cost price on average. And Costco is known to be brutal to their suppliers, using their market position to force lower prices and larger pack sizes onto the manufacturers.

They don't sell everything though - there are some items you have to buy on Amazon or a regular grocery store. But almost (not entirely) every time that Costco sells something, it's the best deal you can get.

Another downside is you have to buy a LOT of what you're buying. So it only makes sense if you're planning ahead somewhat, and if you have room in your fridge/freezer/garage.

EDIT: actually the main drawback is the hugeness and remoteness of the store, and the immense number of other shoppers. But again, this plays into going every couple of weeks and buying ahead. These things are inherent in their model and I accept it. I actually spend less total time shopping now because I do all of it in 60-80 minutes every two weeks.

Another edit: none of this means that the quality is any lower. Somehow, they're delivering excellent meat, produce, and more at a fraction of the cost.

Maybe I should buy shares in this company. They barely have a profit margin though.

- This is a tool to build binaries for Python applications. It could have just as been written in any other language that can produce binaries.

- Yes that is correct, applications are configured at build-time with environment variables. For example, you could use just 2 environment variables like in that demo to build binaries for sqlite-utils. There are a bunch of examples of common use cases here: https://ofek.dev/pyapp/latest/examples/

> what’s up with Roy?

My read is that he is disappointed that certain lines of research that could have come from his original publication of the black hole solution that is named after him, did not actually get pursued by the community. He describes at least some of them in the paper. Unfortunately, for reasons that I have pointed out elsewhere in this discussion, I don't think the kinds of models he appears to be interested in are actually viable physically, however interesting they might be mathematically.
Searching is slow (kinda expected that right now), but after clicking a product and then hitting back, I have to wait for the search again.

Not at computer so I didn't check the headers, but maybe allow the client to cache the response for a short time so it doesn't need to load search results again.
> The Oedipal complex is not "true" or "false," it describes the universal process of socialization

A description of a universal process is either false (the universal process does not exist as a universal process), or false (the universal process does exist but the description is inaccurate), or true (the universal process exists and the description is accurate).
Repackaging it is a literal strip of tape and throwing it in a drop box that’s likely less than two miles from your house.

The phenomenon that cracks me up, tho, is retail stores serving as points of return for Amazon! Kohls is so damn thirsty for foot traffic they’ll accept returns for a direct competitor!

CVS and Autozone I kind of get it. If you need a prescription or hemorrhoid cream or a car battery you’re probably not waiting on Amazon… but when literally everything in your store is also available on Amazon?

Tick tock, business model.
I’m sure other people will have had the opposite opinion, but if you have no clue what you’re doing and you try 2 or 3 things to acquire customers you’ll have fewer opportunities than somebody else who has no clue what they’re doing but who tries 2 or 3 dozen things.

Are you writing about or making videos about your product and (even better) your niche every single day?

How much are you spending on ads and on how many channels?

You have an ideal customer in mind? How can you reach more of them?

How many email addresses do you have? How often are you emailing them?

How many hours a day are you spending calling potential customers?

You can trick yourself into thinking you’re doing enough, but if you don’t know what you’re doing and are getting no results, how can you possibly know? You just need to do a lot of things and know that most of them will fail and learn.
The full unabridged Moby Dick is a real treat. Knowing the gist of the story is fine but all of the various diversions in the full novel turn the novel into a really surreal otherworldly experience. Patience really pays off when reading Moby Dick.

It is consistent. If the current app was opened by another app (e.g. by clicking a link that opened Safari, or if you're in Safari and click a link that opens in another app, etc), the button will be there.

OTOH if the current app was opened manually by the user, it won't be there.

Deepfloyd is slower and needs a lot more memory since it's pixel diffusion.

I agree, but I don't know of any stores where I am able to really inspect a product. I end up wading through review after review and trying to see if people were troubleshooting the product for the use case I intended.

I don't know if there's a solution. Nearly every place online is inundated by advertisers trying to game the system, and they ooze further into the corners with each passing month.

Agreed - I'm surprised the Aussie version of OSHA isn't the one taking care of this problem. I feel really bad for the early workers who didn't know getting affected. That's downright terrible.

But I imagine there's a method of safely working with this material. And, there's ALWAYS going to be hazardous materials - you can't ban them all. You raise the standard of the people working with materials. This feels like - oh melting steel is too hot and can be dangerous - we'll ban melting steel.

NOW, if it's like asbestos and the end consumer can get affected then I 100% agree with this ruling.
From where I sit in game platform tech, I didn't hear about a single layoff on the tech side of the company. Maybe a studio team got axed? That's a relatively regular occurrence and basically non-news in Hollywood.
> Where was this goal written down?

> Anyway, as a user, I want secure. I don't care that much about efficiency. I absolutely don't care that someone thinks some methods are more "modern" than others.

There are plenty of security improvements in the crypto refresh, see https://proton.me/blog/openpgp-crypto-refresh.

Also, I don't want to be rude here but the OpenPGP Working Group is not obligated to do only what you want and nothing else. A charter was agreed upon, and followed.

> I really really want an actual standard. Not a whole bunch of pointless incompatibility.

A new RFC is about to be released, updating the standard. It shouldn't cause any incompatibility, as I've tried to explain three different ways.

> OCFB-MDC is an athenticated encryption mode. A particularly simple and straightforward one. No other modes are required. That is the point I am trying to make here.

But is it secure? We don't really know because there's no security proof. It also uses SHA-1, which might be fine or might not be.

The maintainers of all OpenPGP implementations (including GnuPG) saw value in adopting AEAD modes. Clearly there was some disagreement in which modes should be used and how. None of this should be cause to fork the standard entirely, though. And it also shouldn't be cause to give up entirely and throw away everything except RFC4880.

For those that want to implement and use AEAD, they can. Those that don't want to, don't have to. Again, none of this should cause incompatibilities, so there's no real reason to even argue about it on the internet and blame the crypto refresh for doing so :) For you as a user, it should be invisible. If it isn't, then the implementation is doing something wrong, not the spec.
My prediction is that we'll see a massive rise in manufacturers selling directly to consumers as e-commerce companies disintermediate traditional retailers. There's so much margin compression and headache to be captured if you can enable manufacturers to go around the big box stores of the world.

What I meant wasn't about HN, but about the "outside" world--I don't think "hacker" is a positive word among general public. And they did positive work--they helped train companies and revealed some Bad Stuff going on. If police takes someone's computers, then it's forensic investigation performed by forensic investigators, and not hackery performed by hackers.

But of course on technical forums like HN we call it hacking ("we" includes myself).

To address some of your points:

> they did something someone attempted to prevent them to do

Well, Newag claims they didn't add any shady stuff to the firmware, i.e. they didn't prevent anyone from anything. Which means Dragon Sector didn't break any protection mechanism, they were just debugging potential glitches! :)

I've debugged a lot of software in my life and no one has ever called me "hacker" for finding that missing CSS class :)).

> Hacking a train so that it accepts third party repairs and hacking a credit card reader to steal your money make use of the same techniques.

This is a very low level discussion ("low level" as in "assembler", and not intellectually, for the lack of a better word), but in this case there's one significant different--train firmware is supposed to be unchanged (according to Dragon Sector).

And credit card reader's fw has been modified.

So for me, again, they acted as forensic investigators/"debuggers".

> The ethical distinction is between white hats and black hats. The people in the article are white hats, that is, they work legally, ethically, and they are open about their activities.

Yes, I agree. But I would still prefer if the non-tech world called them something like "forensic investigators", as white hats are still a kind of hackers.
I’ve been to countries in Europe and in my experience the shops are much smaller than those in the US. “Supermarkets” are only slightly larger than your average mom-and-pop store in the US, and they have “hypermarkets” which are only slightly larger than your average US supermarket.
Product curation at Costco is another key aspect. If Costco sells it then it’s a decent product, they stand behind it, and the product is a good value. I trust them not to pass off bad merchandise on me.

If it's a DNS based privacy service (such as the mentioned "DNS service that essentially does what pihole does with easier configuration") they'll need to see your DNS traffic to know when to block the traffic.

If you use services like Google or Cloudflare to provide DNS over HTTPS they've got access to your traffic and you're vulnerable to being tracked by them anyway.
Under normal circumstances will this ever need replacing? Expecting this to be much better than paste, compared to 2-3 years for paste before conductivity drops, liquid metal should last 5+ years minimum?

How much more in percentage does it cost compared to paste? I know there are different kind of paste but just a rough estimate.

Is this the first in Laptops? It took years before Thermal Pad took off ( all because of enthusiast paying and companies discovered an market for it ). But AFAIK with liquid metal, companies were always talking about potential leakage.
I thought it was at least a selling point that is worth market the hell out of it.
If it's a full-screen in-app webview, there's a Done button on the top-left; alternatively, you can swipe back from the first page in the webview and it will close the webview and leave you where you were.

If it's a card webview, just swipe it down from the top edge.

> Switching between the two is very jarring.

I think that's the crux of the problem. Someone who's used to one style and has built muscle memory and some kind of hierarchy and ontology of the interaction with the system will have trouble with a different paradigm. That doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with either - they're just different, and some people will prefer one over the other.

Switching between GNOME and KDE, or vice-versa, has a similar effect.

The obvious one is Beat Saber, but in general there’s simply less app support for pico compared to Quest.

Most stores even warehouse stores if you go at opening (assuming you have the luxury of doing so) they are particularly uncrowded except on days prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I used to shop at 24 hour groceries after 10pm but the covid-19 pandemic stopped every grocery (plus consolidation under Safeway) in my area from doing that.
I appreciate Adaptation for being well written and clever but it doesn't really astound me because it relies too heavily on its gimmick. The classic meta "you see this movie you are watching? I am self referencing it! I am breaking the fourth wall! And now I'm breaking the fourth wall about breaking the fourth wall". The entire thing is just neurotic obsessive self examination without a point. It just repeatedly goes for the obvious joke by laying out the subtext without much subtlety.
Should Retail Theft Suspects Benefit from Discount Prices?
Moby Dick more or less ruined Melville, who was until that point a relatively popular author of exotic adventure stories. It made no money and fell into obscurity for 70 years before being rediscovered by a new generation of critics whose goal was to identify and champion "the great American novel."

Keep this in mind when you make your novel more like Moby Dick.
