Ok! Glad to know that it runs well in Proton.

I was looking at buying on GOG since I would let my kids play it, easier to share games without having to mess around with Steam family sharing.

I got 'while True: learn ()' as well as 'Shenzhen I/O'. The former held his interest while the latter is a little difficult for him to engage with.

This looks like it would be on the more engaging side.
Esports so far has been a terrible business. No one wants to pay PPV for vidya games when you can watch so much of that for free. And most orgs have failed to find any real means of revenue. Just one example the Overwatch league that required millions invested to own a team is being shut down
I think subscribers are sticky enough that this would pretty quickly drive revshare down.

Especially when I imagine a sizable portion of revenue comes from the very biggest streamers, who may not need discovery from twitch at all and would then default to the lowest value. Like, this model has sort of flipped setup from what I'd think you want; the more successful you are the lower twitches cut.

I suppose they could just make the minimum value 50% (iiuc this is the current value). But I'm still not sure how much it would help.
I've never used firebase before. But are you saying that, in it's default configuration, anyone who registers a firebase account has R/W access to any firebase database as long as the database owner forgot to put that line in there somewhere?

That seems like an insane design...
Apple files another challenge to the EU Digital Markets Act
The bandwidth was obviously never the problem for Amazon. It was the actual content. How do you monetize Twitch streamers and, more importantly, Twitch stream viewers? They never figured that out, even at Amazon-scale.
I understand where you're coming from but what they provided DOES make their work reproducible. You can use the data, source code, and recipe to train the model and get the weights.

It would be nice if they provided the weights so it could be USABLE without the effort or knowledge required.

We (I think) would all like to see more _truly_ open models (not just the source code) that enable collaboration in the community.
This all reminds me of someone explaining the reason World War 1 started.

Who's to say they're the first to discover this? They're the first to discover it and do something to fix it.

I thought there was a US law now where breaches like this have to be reported?

Yes, hence the feedback.

it is other people

You've been here plenty long to know it's not how HN works, everyone is responsible for their own commentary.

I am sincere in that I believe that truth matters, and should at least be taken into consideration.

I'm sure most people share that sincere belief, it's just that few enjoy, well, being harangued.

Seriously, what is the big issue with disagreeing with the crowd, without applying speculative subjective framing to the situation?

"I don't understand what I'm supposedly doing wrong" is conversation. The above is haranguey, especially since no one is asking you to eschew speculative or subjective framing.

Big Pharma will not jump on anything that they can not patent, naturally occurring substances are not patent/copyrightable.
Under Xi the regime has become ever more authoritarian. Chinese citizens are aware of the surveillance but dissidents have been using airdrop for a while now to share anti-government media and information anonymously with random strangers in crowded places, like the subway. The kind of stuff they'd previously share on the internet but which has become too risky.

This has been a thorn in the Party's eye for some time now. If it's true and they cracked it, it would mean the final major way Chinese residents can share information outside of government control is gone. I wouldn't take their word for it though. Announcing it just means Apple would work on a fix. So why not keep it secret and exploit the vulnerability?
Thanks for posting this. I was curious how they were able to detect liquid in the USB port
I honestly wonder how the softcore content works out in terms of impacting Twitch's balance sheet.

I'm not interested in it, but I'm not against it. Yet I genuinely question how it works in Twitch's favor in any material way.

Basically, I look at the softcore streams as those streamers using Twitch as a platform to provide additional content for no meaningful capital cost to the themselves (the streamers, not Twitch). It's basically a free additional discovery and advertising channel to attract new users to their core monetization platform (like OnlyFans) where they make their actual money. Twitch is basically giving them a free platform to direct most of the money to another platform, not to Twitch.

So where is Twitch making real money in that? If you're telling me through subs and bits, you're out of your mind, because that's peanuts compared to what those gals are getting from their OnlyFans, merch, other donation platforms, etc. They're snatching up nickels while the comparative money firehose is pointed elsewhere, all while diluting their brand at least a bit. Granted, I feel they need to expand their audience regardless out of the video game niche, but I question if this has been materially moving the needle.

-----

Don't even get me started on the other core issues. The abhorrent recommendations and difficulty of discovery, the inadequate monetization options for streamers, the limited number of advertisers and where I only get recommended product categories (like energy drinks) I have never bought in my existence, etc.
Great problem to have
“Important” is not what I would use to describe one of the most toxic and uninteresting cesspools to come out of the Internet.
Yea, and if they were actually breached and there were victims, the first thing they would do is issue a press release telling the world "We Take Security Very Seriously."
Nitpicking, but for a technical audience it's worth noting that ibogaine is not at all a 'potent' psychedelic in the pharmacological sense of the term. A typical therapeutic dose is on the order of 500mg, which makes ibogaine something like 20 times less potent than psilocybin (typical dose ~25mg), which itself is 100 times less potent than LSD (typical doses less than 250ug).

Of course, this isn't really relevant to the subjective experience of taking ibogaine at its typical dose, which by all accounts is strange in ways that go beyond the classical psychedelics.
Yeah that's what I'm alluding to. Juniper has GREAT foundations, but it's failed endlessly to innovate. It needs the leadership and financing to innovate to realize its potential.

There is at least some reason to believe we should make some types of buildings less robust. While there are many beautiful old homes, there is a bit of a bias when we think of older homes towards ones that have been kept up to date or remodeled many times in their lives. A large percentage of homes don’t go through this process and become blight.

Japanese houses depreciate over a ~30 year cycle where, at the end of that cycle, the only value left is in the land and the home is demolished and rebuilt.

If you can use highly recyclable materials, this would encourage more adaptable cities where the housing is more easily adjusted for the needs of the people at the time. Density can go up or down over the course of these long cycles.

The other approach is to build simplified floor plans which are highly robust but adaptable to maximize reusability - like the two column, three row warehouse layout which can be be adapted for almost any use case.

This is my issue with builders like Icon, who are making 3d printed cement walled homes. Homes that last a long time get adapted many times in their life span, and these structures don’t really enable the growth and adaptation we see from buildings that are useful for many decades.

This is likely going to be for certain large institutional funds where there are many restrictions on what can be bought. Buying an ETF is often the easiest path for them. Also, retail folks that like the idea of the SEC signing off on it (I think this is a silly reason but I can empathize with why that might be comforting for some).

I've heard so many people claim this, but I've never seen this put into practice in production, and at scale.

I don't even think that that proves that this cannot be done... And I've seen A LOT of people try. But, things invariably start to break down, and at this point I just think that the statement above is more wishy washy than anything, though I want to believe...
Unless I’m shown concrete examples of what constitutes this kind of purposeful impersonation I’m unsure what is being discussed. I take your explanation to mean that any company that decided to start writing, producing and distributing reggae music would fall under this description.

Again, I am honestly confused by what is meant in this thread!
lol.. I didn't know if you were joking... you weren't!
The latter. I'm very definitely not at that level either, but looking at German words from books that couldn't be found on English Wiktionary, I was able to find them on German Wiktionary. One example would be "Weihnachtsfest" - not sure it's "officially" a compound word, though if you know "Weihnacht" and "Fest", then the meaning should be clear. In any case, it shows up as a single word and trying to "split" words made up of other words is an exercise in insanity.

Another example is "krächzender", which might also serve to give some idea of the particular pains in processing German text. It's not in English Wiktionary, but krächzen is, and is a verb. So "krächzender" is the adjectival form of the verb, and if you know "krächzen" and the general rules around adjective formation it would probably be obvious. But would you rely on a computer to parse those rules, or would you want a table with all the declensions laid out? And if you're building a vocab list for a book, is it a separate entry in the list, or does it fall under the verb?

Obviously, German Wiktionary only has definitions & explanations in German so it's not great for beginners, but any tool that's trying to automatically do stuff with German text would likely benefit from using German Wiktionary.

I have no idea if it's true for other languages, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's also true for other major languages spoken by Wikipedia users (e.g., French, Spanish, but maybe not Chinese).

Cheap if you can not have a car instead.

Plus if you vacation here you can get 5 day tickets for example, and explore the whole country, it covers various ships, cable cars and so on. It can be a pretty damn good deal if you take advantage of it.

For people living here that don't need a full GA (Swisspass is a car that has lots of functions). There is also Halb-Tax to reduce your price significantly, and if you use it frequently you can get even better deal with Halb-Tax Plus.

I think its quite reasonably priced for what you get. But if you are a tourist coming in just buying 1 regular ticket it can be expensive. That said lots of local transport is often included with the hotel.

Given Ford relentless push for more pickups and systematic reduction in all smaller cars. I would say Ford killed about few 1000x more people the Boeing ever has. And they have equally done a huge amount to prevent regulation, both in terms of safety and fuel economy. The US still doesn't even test how well cars do against pedestrian. The list goes on and on.

We hold Boeing to a much, much, much higher standard. And that is a good thing. So to give this guy credit when he has been involved with Ford, a company that has done an incredible amount to make the world more unsafe, we should maybe not just to conclusions about how much saver boing would be with him.

That said, safety at Boeing even from a business perspective would have been different, so his intensives there are very different.

If we actually ever want to really deal with traffic accidents, we need to approach it with the same systematic root-cause analysis and immediate action principles.

That is what they have stared doing in some of the leading countries and its amazing. Every accident leads to adjustment in the infrastructure, Identifikation of other locations with the same potential issues and updated road standards.

Unfortunately we are still far to lax, on actually regulating the cars themselves and far to forgiving on cars, car company and drivers. The arms raise of 'my car is bigger then your car' shouldn't be allowed. Cities shouldn't allow these horrible F-150 type cars into them at all. The list goes on.

> e) most users of such sites aren't demanding for quality nor service, therefore you can compress a lot more and if you overloaded they would come to other sites (which could be operated by the same people just serving from the other place)

Actually, the opposite is true.

If you live a country where piracy is persecuted and these services aren't available and you want to watch Silo, you don't have a choice — you have to pay for Apple TV. If you want to watch Stranger Things, you have to pay for Netflix.

But if those services are available to you, then you would have those shows on any of dozens of pirate services, and you can switch between them anytime. At which point they actually start to compete on other qualities, like streaming.

In fact, many of them have much better quality, at least in the areas where their audience lives.
That broadcast.com to Yahoo and Tom selling Myspace to Murdoch are 2 of my favorite flop acquisitions. Honorable mention: Digg selling its soul to their own sales team.

Ha haaa! NO, I have a decent-sized 45 collection and there's no confusion about their awesomeness! Most of them sound better than the dynamically-compressed-to-shit streaming "remasters" of the same songs today.

I also have a few 3-inch CDs, which were supposed to be the successor to 45s but record companies just weren't down for seriously selling singles at that point.

Another historical curiosity: I have a couple of "video CDs," which were regular-sized (5-inch) CDs with a digital section containing the song (playable on any CD player) and then an analog video section with the video for the song (playable on later LaserDisc players).
Wise wouldn't have worked as my friend was among the 10M American adults who are unbanked. Also I doubt him and I would have been able to do account setup on a Sunday, within 1 hour, which is the time it took us to do the transfer, despite this situation being his first time ever using Bitcoin.

You get a better understanding by poking at your learning objective from multiple directions, which hopefully gives one enough information to better grasp the information in proper technical resources.

The Pilot literally turned off safety features on the plane. They simply miscalculated and didn't plan properly. They had not even seen the place where they wanted to fly this demonstration. It was incredibly reckless.
No. They were both enormously influential, though.

IBM S/360 got there before the PDP-11 (1964 vs 1970) -- but it probably also wasn't the first.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360

Unix was developed on a PDP-11 (I ignore the first, embryonic, version on an 18-bit PDP-7 because that version was in assembler and couldn't really do much more than host Space War). The real, grown-up, version of Unix with proper virtual memory was developed on a VAX (as part of BSD Unix). Sockets also came from BSD Unix, developed on VAX.

IEEE floating-point is largely based on their floating-point format -- but it is incompatible and has a number of extra bells and whistles that William Kahan insisted on.

They were also used for developing various experimental programming languages.

Windows NT is in many ways a reimplementation of DEC's VMS operating system for the VAX.

The PDP-11/74 was an early experimental 4-way SMP machine -- that quickly taught the OS developers that they didn't know as much as they thought about how to write SMP software!
Abusive, SPF is plenty enough unless you cannot map the domain with the right IPs due to DNS trickery (rotation, etc), then you would need an IP agnostic way to do some checks, hence the cryptographic DNS based signature.

That said, with no-DNS email addresses, SPF comes for free (alice@[x.x.x.x] bob@[ipv6:...]).

Namely, if SPF does pass, cryptographic DNS based signature mecanisms are excessive and must not be used to score.

Well, part of it is being on Hacker News, which will definitely skew towards "self-host everything!", and on top of that Jellyfin is genuinely free and open-source while the more popular alternative (Plex) isn't, so probably more popular here again, and not necessarily reflective of the popularity amongst self-hosters in general!

I definitely wouldn't expect it to be high on the list of priorities, but I do appreciate that it's under consideration at the very least.

Some people have committed homicides while on LSD [1], that they would unlikely have committed otherwise. Here's a crazy story a New Zealand friend of mine told me. She knew a guy who had gotten high on LSD while vacationing in France, and wandered into some stranger's backyard. The homeowner came out and they stabbed them with a pitchfork and killed them. They went to French prison for life, but were released as part of a deal France made with New Zealand for the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior by the French Secret Service. They released all New Zealanders and repatriated them, and this guy, lucky SOB he is, was set free.

When you create the database, you're asked whether you want to give everyone access (development mode), or whether no one gets it (production mode). If you choose the development mode, it will automatically disable that access after a certain timestamp, so you don't forget to update it before shipping. This of course doesn't stop people who don't care about security from just manually giving out public R/W, or extending the timestamp.

I’ve never been the target audience for this, so sharing anecdata with a sample size of 1 (well, 2 kids). But as I type this my kids are watching some streamer play minecraft on our TV. They’re watching it via YouTube though. I don’t know the last time they used Twitch, and I suspect the youngest doesn’t even know how to get there.
I was sharing feelings and opinions, when you refer to my "conclusions" you're speaking to elements of the empty set. I get that you're a big Julia evangelist, but if you hope to reach people, you must learn to listen.

How long did it take Julia to solve its warmup issue? The language is about 12, and I last tried in earnest two years ago. So, a decade, give or take? You speak from the top of a mountain, and you say the view is nice. Sitting at the base of a similar mountain, it's the journey that I dread, because Python's recent long-term journeys have been pretty rough. And I'm just not convinced that the destination is so great.

No, the default is no access to anything. You have to write rules that allow access to each record in the database.

It sounds like the rule that they wrote only checked that the request _is logged in_, because they assumed that visitors can't create their own accounts.
"Unassisted" is a pointless qualifier only used to make Dumont win. There is no reason why something that uses a catapult for takeoff does not qualify to be an aircraft.

Especially when the Wright brothers plane could fly properly and under control, flying 24 miles, including many turns, a year before Dumont could barely manage a few hundred meters in a nearly straight line and ended his flight in an uncontrolled roll.
> The energy stored in the oil is analogous to the "outside heat" for heat pumps.

This isn't correct. Here's a thought experiment to clarify:

If we burn X MJ of oil, we transfer X MJ of energy as heat to our house.

Otoh, if we set up a generator (say 40% efficient) which produces electricity from oil and dumps waste heat into our house, and use that to power a 300% efficient heat pump, we get 0.6X (generator waste heat) + 1.2X (300% * 0.4X) = 1.8X MJ of heat using the same X MJ of oil.

Thus,we get an additional 0.8X MJ of heat (80% extra heating) from the same X MJ of oil just by using a heat pump (& generator) compared to burning it. I.e we're using the energy stored inside the oil more efficiently.
