If the NYT wanted to charge OpenAI $20/mo to access their articles like any other user, that's fine with me. But they're not asking for that, they're suing them to stop it instead. That's why it's a stupid IP battle.
No, it’s not theater.

2FA was not created as a defense against password manager compromise. That is not its purpose. It protects against password reuse attacks and helps to protect against total compromise of people who have been phished.

Even better, a password manager can avoid giving up a TOTP code to a phisher in the first place because it is checking the domain.

If your password manager is compromised, you’ve got big problems regardless of 2FA tokens being in there or not.

The extremely marginal security benefit of storing the 2FA tokens separate from your password manager is just not even worth discussing in most scenarios. It exists, but doing that causes the additional risks of losing access to your 2FA token or having your 2FA code phished, both of which seem a lot more likely than your password manager being compromised. At least, as long as you’re using any halfway decent password manager.

Long term, the goal is to get rid of passwords and 2FA altogether by switching to Passkeys. Each Passkey will naturally be stored in a single place, since they can’t be split into multiple parts anyways.
I'd really love to use an IDE, but I haven't found any modern ones that I don't hate. Which is curious, since I used to love the Borland IDEs (Turbo Pascal, Turbo C). Maybe I'm just spoiled, but all the IDEs that I've tried since have managed to turn me off quite thoroughly, in one way or another.

Given that we ship cargo in incredible amounts across all oceans, ranging from liquids, bulk to containers and cars everyday with zero nuclear-powered carho vessels, calling nuclear your only option is odd.
iOS has a reputation for having the best security, but how many times have Android/WhatsApp had these sorts of silent-instant-root exploits via invisible messages? I don't remember it happening. Maybe the strategy of writing lots of stuff in Java is paying off there.

Sure does! That's why I used "electeds" rather than "representatives", to make really clear the connection.

On the other hand, the state is losing population on an absolute basis (and relatively even more so against a backdrop of national growth). So some folks are voting with their feet. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when I'm free enough to do the same.
Since they've gone to the trouble of protecting it with an insecure hash, couldn't they also have designed this hardware feature so that it could be completely disabled until the device is rebooted? This vulnerability doesn't persist through reboots, so it would be sufficient to have the firmware lock the feature out during startup outside of development or manufacturing contexts.

mtg is more recent than things like the johnniac, but plausibly there's a traditional card game with the same criteria that predates electronic computation

but then we have to ask thorny ontological questions: does a card game count if it requires a particular configuration to be turing-complete, but nobody ever played it in that configuration? what if nobody ever played the game at all? what if nobody even knew the rules?

Batteries are nowhere near able to meet any energy storage demands of the grid.

The simple question to ask yourself is why do battery installations always get quoted in units of power - GW - and not units of energy, GWH - which is what we actually use?

(The answer is: because they're terrible for it. Batteries hold about 3x they're rated power value as energy - which means the 10 GW or whatever someone quotes is good for about 3 hours at that output. Great for grid stability, expensive and useless for long term storage).

I'm not sure that makes much difference from a quality-of-HN point of view. That is, if an account is (mostly) posting a single domain, and also is (mostly) the only account posting that domain, that doesn't seem to me so different from using HN "primarily for promotion". Or did I misunderstand you?
China is betting on all the things at once: they're the world leader in building out new solar, new wind, new nuclear and new coal power simultaneously.
Just pointing out a benefit when it was said there was none, I agree with all your points here.
I had a professor in an facilities course mention the improved level of industrialization of nuclear plant construction as a big reason why France managed to be successful with nuclear energy in a way that other countries have not. If so, is this one of those dreaded examples of the free market failing our actual best interests?

Only if sensible people continue to run the public health authorities.

You now have people that refuse to vaccinate their children against measles, COVID vaccine hesitancy is a widespread phenomenon with some people resorting to heresay remedies like horse dewormers instead, an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist is running for US president and polling with double digit numbers.

Health-related insights are particularly susceptible to targeted misinformation. And in an era of social media, this can quickly become a majority opinion.
yup my host profusely apologized and emailed me back with the specific exit and a line i could use to ask locals for directions, but when we met I felt he was almost disappointed that I didn't get that we were obviously to meet by the entrance closest to the road which led to the property (it was his apartment that he was renting out for the summer because his family goes somewhere north for the summer)

Blue bubbles bad syndrome. Gotta bring it up when ever humanly possible.

Nvidia has a very similar green man bad syndrome going on too. As the amount of time a HN discussion on Nvidia increases, the probability of mentioning that Linus said “fuck you nvidia” approaches 1, even though it’s irrelevant to a topic, or that he's a mercurial asshole who's said a whole lot of things.

The casual fanboyism disrupts all discourse on these topics because there’s a large minority of users who have adopted what PG describes as “hater-ism” and allowed it to dominate their thinking on a topic. Negative parasocial attachment is the same process as positive parasocial attachment and just as problematic, but largely never called out.

http://www.paulgraham.com/fh.html

In short: lotta fanboys on these topics who don't even realize they're fanboys/adopting fanboy frames, because they don't realize that anti-fanboys are still parasocially attached too. And we've casually accepted the low level of discourse on these topics, and it pollutes the whole discussion of a lot of interesting topics because of who's doing them.

I moved to Japan in 1983, and for the first few years I lived and worked near Shinjuku Station and passed through it every day. I also spent most of my free time in the Shinjuku area and wandered around exploring a lot. It took a full year before I really knew the area and could find any entrance or tunnel without getting lost. The station has changed and grown a lot since, and acquiring that sense would take even longer today.

As it happens, I will be going to Shinjuku later today for the first time in four years to meet an old friend for lunch. I spent some time online yesterday looking at photos and streetview of the area. My friend has been living in the Tokyo area as long as I have and used to go to Shinjuku a lot, too. But he doesn't use a smartphone and we're meeting on the south side of the station, which has changed a lot. So I prepared a four-page PDF with maps and pictures showing where we will meet, and I told my friend to print it out and bring it along. I hope we're able to find each other.
Collect does not mean own.
Good question.

Definitely not Best Buy. There is only an increase for fast food workers and certain health care workers.

Not sure whether food delivery gig work will fall under “fast food”. Probably not.

Note that I think most of the CA people make 19+ an hour for “pick up and delivery” already. $16 an hour plus $3.20 for the gig bump plus mileage (and tax write offs).
I think it's extremely smart of Mr. Iger to keep CEO intervention at "less messaging, more storytelling", and leave it to his organization to interpret and implement. Nobody likes a micromanager.
The thyroid is by far the largest consumer of iodine. It stores iodine in thyroglobulin, which is the precursor to thyroid hormone. I don't know the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the thyroid released more iodine by breaking down thyroglobulin than breaking down thyroid hormone.
> Maybe it's a real problem caused by the physical realities of nuclear. Calling regulation an artificial cost is like calling sewage treatment an artificial cost of water.

That's just plain wrong. I don't know whether regulations in this case are bloat or not, but you're basically saying that regulations are never bloated, which is abjectly false.
Sending these through messaging apps is appealing because that usually requires zero user action - you just send a message and the device runs the exploit as it generates preview thumbnails.

In case it wasn't clear, I'm talking about carbon-free propulsion options. Batteries don't have the energy capacity required for long distance shipping, and their weight is a big issue for ships. 300 mile range is fine for an EV, it's not for a ship.
Sorry for the lay question but what’s the benefit of the hard reset over a general restart?
Just what we needed, another euphemism treadmill.

Getting old kind of sucks. While with fortune you’ll have gained some wisdom and assets, your body and mind are noticeably deteriorating by the time you hit 40 and it just gets worse from there. You get uglier, weaker, slower physically and mentally, more forgetful, and less healthy with every passing year. The only thing getting old has going for it is it feels like it beats the alternative. And no amount of euphemism is ever going to change that.
Yes it is: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/07/02/transparent-solar-pan...

“Combining two usage modes based on Insolight’s optical micro-tracking technology, these modules focus light on high-efficiency solar cells,” Insolight said in a press release. “When aligned, the optical system can generate energy (E-MODE), but it is also possible to unalign it to ‘leak’ the light (MLT-MODE). The solar modules therefore act like a ‘smart’ shade adjusting the amount of light they let through.”

This makes it possible to optimize the photosynthesis of plants during the seasons and reduce the negative impact of high summer heat on the yields and quality of agricultural products, while recovering the rest of the light in the form of electricity. Starting from July, the panels will be tested for four years on a 165-square-meter surface area. They will replace protective plastic tunnels on strawberries and raspberries.

“Dynamically adjusting the light transmitted to the plants paves the way for increased protection from climate variations and possible increases in crop yields thanks to the matching of the light to the needs of the plants and the lowering of the temperature during heat waves via the shading effect,” said Bastien Christ, head of the berries and medicinal plants group at Agroscope.

21 reactors under construction even with a short build time of 7 years is just 3 finished per year, and with China having ~15x the population of Germany that would amount to 0,2 reactors finishing per year in Germany. Multiplied with 1,4 GW that would add ~0,3 GW capacity resulting in about 2,5 TWh additional electricity generated per year which is 0,5% of annual current german demand. Do that for 20 years and you'd be at 10% of current electricity demand or about 5-7% of the demand in 20 years from now - or in other words micro-optimisation.
I stayed at a capsule hotel just a block away from the station this summer, that was quite the experience. I was there for not even 3 full weeks but I think I'll feel nostalgic for Japan for the rest of my life, a strange and stunning country.

> It's been bad enough that my daughter, who was a devout MCU fan, has zero interest in any new MCU content now. Some of the movies since Endgame have been good, some OK, and some of the movies and TV shows have just been terrible.

So much this. I was a comic book kid and a big fan of marvel's various properties.

I am so very sick of superhero movies now.

Iger wants to blame political sentiments he objects to, rather than looking at the basic reality that you can't just keep pumping out the same genre indefinitely while making money. Making movies isn't stamping widgets. Just look at how historically dominant genres have risen and fallen (westerns anyone?).

Also A24 is over there showing that ambitious and original concepts can be financially successful.

Iger's problem isn't woke politics its his own lack of imagination and lack of understanding of audiences.
Hot take: It's nice that Box, Arc, etc. are all just types and nothing special to the user, but it's not as nice that modern async code in particular ends up with Arc<T>, :Send+Sync+'static, Future<Output=T>, copied absolutely everywhere and often taking up half of each function signature.

As a general rule, anything that can be orthogonal should be, but also as a general rule, more syntax should only be needed for non-default cases so the default is minimal. With modern async treating these things as effectively the default, these rules end up in constant tension. C++ has the same problem and it's getting worse and worse, and I hope Rust doesn't continue down that direction.

Well, the point of kerckhoff's principle is that it should have been openly documented and then anyone lookindg at the docs even pre-publication would have said "we can't ship it like that, that feature needs to go."
Solar or wind makes sense on a small individualized basis for offgrid users. It’s a terrible idea for grid scale power vs. nuclear.
Figuring out storage is hard if you think in terms of Lithium Ion grid-scale batteries, or mountains for pumped hydro, but[1] puts forward the idea of synthetic natural gas generated by solar panels. That can be pumped into existing national gas grids, existing gas storage, and sent into existing gas power stations to generate power in quiet times. The article says that solar power has dropped from $100/Watt in 1976 to $0.50/Watt by 2016, and that instead of slowing down as the low hanging fruit has been picked, that process is speeding up since 2011 when Solar started to become cheaper than other forms of power generation, which changed the feedback loops and is bringing in much more demand which brings more investment, research and production, than before when it was an expensive little-used alternative.

This is a linked graph of solar growth compared to International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook predictions: https://rameznaam.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IEA-Solar-G...

In each of 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, the IEA predicted deployment of solar would stop accelerating (line going up) and steady off into consistant growth (flatline on that graph). Every year they have been very quickly wrong, and the 2019 predition of flatline is so wrong that by 2021 actual production of 190GW was WAYYYY off the top of that chart. At this rate we may not need to figure out storage nearly as much as we think.

> "What people have missed is that reaching cost parity on fuel synthesis will unlock huge new demand centers [and trigger an acceleration in demand/investment/research/cost decline of solar created synthetic fuels]."

There is way way more uranium than that. It is surprisingly common. And harvesting it from seawater opens up a supply that dwarfs any mining concept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_in_the_environment

>> Uranium is a naturally occurring element found in low levels within all rock, soil, and water. This is the highest-numbered element to be found naturally in significant quantities on earth. According to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation the normal concentration of uranium in soil is 300 μg/kg to 11.7 mg/kg. ... It is considered to be more plentiful than antimony, beryllium, cadmium, gold, mercury, silver, or tungsten and is about as abundant as tin, arsenic or molybdenum.

I don't see any motte-and-bailey argument. You said that the First Arab-Israeli War was an Arab war of aggression. I responded.

> all of Israel is now occupied territory

This isn't the point I was trying to make. All of Israel was taken from the Arabs - unjustly so. However, I was simply responding to your claim about the First Arab-Israeli War, and when I speak about the "occupied territories," I'm referring to the territories that Israel conquered in 1967, not the 1948 territories.

> since you can't make the case that the Arab states hands are clean with respect to Gaza and the West Bank

Why am I supposed to make that case?

> To do this, you have to ignore the comparable number of Jewish people chased out of Arab states in the same time period.

Jewish people were chased out of Arab countries following the establishment of the state of Israel, and to a large extent, as a result of the establishment of Israel and the antisemitic reaction it caused in the Arab world. The expulsion of Jewish people from the Arab world in the 1950s onwards did not retroactively justify the expulsion of the Arab population from what became Israel in 1948.

> No, they were not comparably provocative.

Launching major raids into Jordan, invading Egypt in concert with France and Britain in 1956 - those are pretty provocative moves.
Seems likely a compromise at the GPU or ARM side as equally possible routes.
