Yeah, seems suspicious. PATH_CHALLENGE frame is used to determine if a path is valid in the first place. It seems like the correct operation of a client can not possibly depend on lossless responses since, by its very nature, the client must expect that it might be sending packets on a path to the void.

There is no way for a client to distinguish between a invalid path and a server packet drop, so a server that randomly drops such frames seems externally indistinguishable from a “compliant” one. For that matter, you can even characterize that as a path to the server that is “temporarily invalid” which follows the letter of the spec.

The only problem that may exist here is if the spec actually demands such a undetectable, unenforceable, irrelevant requirement.
SnapDrop was so buggy that the transfer speed was very slow, sometimes hitting the send button did nothing, and need to open browser on the target machine first and recently somehow it stopped working completely, I figured installing NextCloud client on my Android phone solved it easily to have the file arrive instantly without complications.
I think I'd rather have a half page of APL with a page of explanations (given a little time to learn the language better than I do now) than 20 pages of Java that I have to scroll through with comments and unintelligible class paths.

Either way it takes time to consume the logic, but it's nice to have it all in one place than scattered about all over creation. I think that's what he's getting at with Aaron's more macro based view. He wrote thousands and thousands of loc before being able to whittle it down to such a terse amount. I can't read it, but that's less to do with APL and a lot more to do with knowing nothing of the domain of compilers.

The symbols actually make a lot of sense and can help you remember what they do. I can remember quite a few after only playing around with it a bit and reading a book on it ages ago.
I believe in Twin Peaks: The Return, he plays an evil doppelganger of Agent Cooper. Haven't seen it though.
It does actually. The McDonalds app "accidentally" forgets to check when you've picked up your order and keeps tracking you until you go into the app, then it'll check and realize you picked it up and stop tracking you.
> We don't let humans off the hook if they deceive us but there's an explanation for it.

Yes, we do. If I ask you to sing the alphabet song backwards instantly, and you have to pause for a few seconds and think and rehearse the alphabet mentally, we don't say 'ah, Mike just tried to deceive us! He refused to answer, pretending he didn't know, but eventually admitted he could sing it backwards after all'. Similarly, I can't imagine why a LLM would 'deceive' us about Tom Cruise's mother. It's simpler to just say that LLMs are not logically omniscient any more than humans are, and they just seem to be worse in this specific example.

> as that would make it in principle fixable.

Yes, see the discussion there: most people think it could be fixed by training with reversed text (or possibly the equivalent, bidirectional losses), but AFAIK it has not been done yet.
Every time someone invents an actually effective method of person-to-person file transfer, it gets used for piracy and blocked and shunned.

Sorry you couldn't be more wrong here. The parent post describes this correctly.

The door rests on the stops (on the inside) which transfer 100% of the pressurization load (from the inside out) into the fuselage. The stops look to be welded or part of the structure. There is no need to prevent movement inward because the force under pressurization is in the opposite direction! This door is apparently a 20 year old design, used on the legacy pre-MAX 737, it was not conceived by idiots.

The bolts don't carry this load at all. Their purpose is to keep the door from sliding upwards vertically up and over the stops.

The operation of the door for maintenance e.g. like opening a window for ventilation, the bolts are removed, the door is then lifted upwards with the help of springs, sliding past the stops and pops out. There looks to be a small strap to help keep it propped open.

Likely the presence of any one of the four bolts that restricts vertical movement would have prevented this, at least until it was discovered at a maintenance checkup.

It's possible the door was sitting on the stops with no bolts and enough landings happened inducing vertical loads to cause it to gradually slip out of place. Similar to how you can hold a mattress on top of your car with friction and your hand for a period of time, it just takes one gust of wind in the right direction and the rest is history.

This is also in some way where Camus ended up.

I've faced a beginning of life pretty loaded in trauma, and a young adult life where self-inflicting some more was a comforting behaviour in the face of the absurdity of life. When contemplating suicide up close, in some of the aftermath I saw Camus' thesis as a pretty decent way to figure out some sort of "philosophy of continuing to exist".

>Nazi germany privatized vast swaths of their economy (steel, rail, etc.) [1]. So you want america to look like Nazi Germany? /s

And how exactly that privatisation is at all related to fascism? The argument is totally irrelevant. Let's turn this on its head: Most of American corporations are privately/publicly (and not the government) so does America right now look like Nazi Germany?
That’s not true. Lockheed makes cargo planes and helicopters.
No there has been such a demonstration, which they quote and from which they show the results:

S.L. Hurst, “Multiple-Valued Logic - Its Status and Its Future“, IEEE Trans. on Computers, VOL. C-33, No 12, December 1984.

According to that demonstration, e would be optimal, but it is impossible because it is not integer. Among integers, 3 is best, followed by 2 and 4, which are equally good.

However, as mentioned in the article, the difference between 2 and 3 is very small and that classic demonstration does not take into account the difference in the complexity of the logic gates and registers for binary and ternary logic.
Not movie, but if there ever was one that should, it's Dune. It's about us.

Every person who reviews another person’s scholarship must be willing to sign their name to their own evaluation, to stand by it and assert it was not the work of the machines.

I will say, if there's one person that might give China the bird and do it anyway despite a heavy economic penalty, it's Elon. His reactions against companies like Disney have been shocking and remarkably principled.

That said, I agree it's pretty unlikely. No individual person has enough resources to win a fight againt a world-power nation state like China, even if they wanted to badly enough to risk it all.

I read a book from 1960 about Quantum Mechanics. There is more content from one paragraph there than from anything from your AppleTV, your Facebook, your WhatsApp, your Telegram or anything else from your stupid overpriced trash media. Ken Thompson is right when he calls Apple an atrocity. Linux and Framasoft are not terrorist organisations but I'm not sure about any other.
You can ask the same about e.g. Pascal, Python and Javascript, because all of them just make a bunch of C calls at the end of the day and can’t use NIC ports directly.

Isn't this almost identical to the general admissions process, too?

It seems strange to me that we built institutions on the idea of filtering in/out applicants based on relatively arbitrary criteria, and then express shock/surprise when the reward systems inside that institution are.. basically the same?

There are parallels everywhere, e.g. scientists feeling they must get positive 'groundbreaking discovery!' news reporting about their publications, not just actually doing impactful work, in the same way good grades aren't enough and you need some other impactful story to tell in order to be accepted to many schools.

All of it can be traced back to money, money, money.

I don't find this at all persuasive. The author mentions a lot of potential problems, but doesn't go into detail on why any of them are insurmountable. It just seems like the assumption that because it sounds impossible at current levels of tech that it will always be impossible.
Tachiyomi – It's Joever
The counterpoint to this is: if the restaurant wants to stop serving food at 4:45 so the staff can leave at 5, they should close at 4:45 instead of 5.

"Closing time" is external-facing, and customers shouldn't be expected to know that it actually means "4:45 so the staff can go home at 5".

It's not a cultural thing, it's about clearly setting expectations. If you publicly state that closing time is 5, and you're not okay with someone coming in to order at 4:45, that's on you, not them. Trying to justify "you can't order a half hour before closing" as a "cultural norm" is just making excuses for poor communication, imo.

Besides, isn't expecting everyone to understand your specific cultural norms fairly... Exclusionary?
To be clear, this is a municipal court decision. It may still be appealed, and the plaintiffs are still deciding whether to do so.

My hunch is they will. There's been a massive surge of support, new members, and cash for these organisations as a reaction to the verdict.

In addition this is a complex case with little precedent, involving international treaties. Cases like that are typically destined for the supreme court, and possibly even international courts.

So this probably isn't the final verdict.
Tech people don't use rsync or FTP because those are terrible solutions. FTP is insecure and requires setting up a server. Rsync requires an account on both machines.

In my experience companies usually end up paying for a service that solves this problem for their employees. Yes really.

Anyway I would suggest using

Yes, the government should investigate crimes and prosecute them. They should not make consent decrees and babysit them.
"Especially if those countries are currently suffering from economic depression like China and Russia"

Dude, I don't know. "Despite the challenges posed by external pressure and earlier negative forecasts, Russia's GDP growth in 2023 is expected to be 3.5%,"

Most EU countries would be happy about such a growth. Russia has 100 times less debt than the US and an unemployment rate about 2.5% if I remember correctly.

TIL it’s not the same (or merely varying by sales tax) across the US. I thought they always had the same prices in one country. That’s why they feel cheap at the airport or in the center of the capital but relatively more expensive in rural areas. Not so in the US then?

The premise of this article: that closed source, company owned software is better secured, is utter rubbish.

Closed source companies have been hacked so extensively most citizens and every US Federal Employee of the western world has be owed. The most highly kept nuclear secrets were leaked or stolen. The most guarded industrial secrets have been lifted by other countries.

This antiquated idea that making a small list of people who have access and putting ownership into private corporations is inherently more secure has proven to be folly time and time again, yet organizations continue to espouse it like it’s some kind of truth. It’s a falsehood.

Open Source has thousands of well intentioned eyeballs looking at things, and that is a very effective form of security that truly makes things secure.
If the tech is still what was announced, the satellite does the heavy lifting and the cell sees it as a bog-standard cell tower.

I don't know a single person who doesn't list "more efficient" in their list of reasons they prefer WHO. The different opinions are only asymmetric in that the advantages alleged for WHO are typically a superset of the advantages alleged for RTO. Practically speaking, both are mostly correct - it's the person who does better with one or the other, not the policy itself.

E.g. just looking at the efficiency variable alone, people who collaborate better remotely are not more or less hampered be being in-person with their colleagues than vice versa (unless you cherry-pick).

So there's no reason not to just allow both, other than those common petty motivations that poor leaders are susceptible to focusing on, usually for optics reasons or other bad second-order metrics.
Seems to me its to promote Y combinator and the startups going through their program to the tech crowd, and to also provide a recruitment pool for those startups.

So startup promotion and talent outreach I would say, both which require an audience (HN in this case).

Users get information and discussion forum, Y combinator gets an audience/talent pool. Sounds like a fair deal to me, and from what I can tell no malpractice.
I think you see moving around careers as a failure of some type. I disagree and see that as success, so there is no "arguing against your own thesis".

On average, yes it's easy to get stuck in a rut with low quality content, toxic social media, attention-stealing recommendations, etc. but with just a reasonable amount of effort it can be avoided in favor of the good stuff. Just like a traveler can get stuck at tourist traps or with just a few more moments of planning find a local treasure; and how if you're at a buffet you could get locked into the mac & cheese or go find the hibachi station in the back. It would be nice if getting lost wasn't a thing, but it's not terribly onerous to navigate the scenic route.
disappointing.
I can relate to some aspects. After more than 10 years in IT (Also mid 30s), I sometimes I have the feeling I've seen it all. Another framework, another paradigm.. getting more of those "Oh wait that new thing you seemed to have invented is 99% similar to this old tech from years ago but its now made hipster".

I find myself scanning through news headlines, trying to up my dopamine while doomscrolling YT, but ultimately.. sometimes after I do.. I feel both TMI and empty at the same time. The world seems to have gone crazy with a constant tug-of-war on every single subject known to man. It's extremely tireing, and it makes you want to escape ( to a cabin) indeed.
I’m currently using a Banana-PI R3 which meets those requirements. It only recently got release support for OpenWRT, but SinoVOIP seems to be actively working with them (which is confirmed with this announcement). There are still small issues (last I checked the boot loader method of cloning to nand is broken), but it’s been pretty solid for the last 5 or 6 months.

I was coming from a late model AirPort Extreme but needed something with more configurability. My biggest with it issue is that the BPI is a fast computer with lots of RAM and storage (and SD and M2 expand ability), but OpenWRT is made for the tiniest embedded systems and everything from configuration to pre-built packages prioritize space over quality of life. Busybox is fine, but when I have as much power as a desktop computer from 10 years ago, it feels like an unnecessary inconvenience. Or as I just went through, Ruby installs the Ruby interpreter and nothing else, each module in the standard library is a separate package and someone went through the work of configuring the dependencies of each of them. Likewise, LUCI is great, but sometimes I just want to configure a thing, not have to find the LUCI configuration for the thing.

> How wrong were we

Nowhere! Social media brought out the true character of people; most (many?) of us are negative species, mix that along with bad people.
Taking aside the unknown unknowns and known unknowns in the speculative science of really creating generation ships, the article puts forth a forced narrative that Plan B has to involve colonizing extrasolar worlds and then breaks down why it's impossible (again, a highly debatable conclusion). What it doesn't talk about so much is that we don't need to leave the solar system to create a Plan B. While nearby solar systems are very speculatively feasiable for humanity, our own solar system is outright technically feasible and at a much lower technological threshhold. We could put deep effort into colonizing many places right here and in some cases even with something close to current technology, just massively scaled up. A few basic ideas in descending order of feasability:

The obvious candidate, Mars (despite its supposed problems, still a much more reasonable choice than anything outside the solar system and the planet with the most benign climatic conditions outside earth our whole system. This is a huge plus even when weighed against all of the difficulties of Mars)

The upper atmosphere of Venus (extremely amenable and doable even with something very close to current tech)

The subsurface of Mercury (easy climate control and so much free solar power once you set up the collection systems)

Asteroids hauled into the inner solar system, or even asteroids as they currently orbit in the Belt

At least a couple of Jupiter's moons.

With enough long-term investment and effort, potentially millions, or even hundreds of millions of people could live scattered across these places, with the resources of Earth still in the background as a backup to potential problems and creating a humanity that's much more robust against terrestrial cataclysms.

On that last note, asteroids would cease being one of those potential cataclysms, since our being able to fulfill any of the above colonization plans presupposes our being able to capture and redirect all but the most gargantuan asteroids if they're discovered heading for Earth.
Yes. And while Starbucks offers a decent service, Dell's has rather become absolutely mediocre.

I'm not even sure Dell has been that good at capital management as of late. His last good shot, and an amazing one, was to buy out his own company at a much undervalued price, with plenty of financing support from investment banks. 10 years ago already.
Sure, but incels talking point is that 80% of women are going after 20% of men, that's whopping 80% of men who are being left out.

I'm outside this world but what always strikes me is the risk/reward gamble that cheaters are taking.

By the time they are caught cheating, they have invested dozens of years if not decades into a career that is now pretty much dead. Is there a life-after-cheating story in the relevant field? I can't imagine much of one. Part-time lecturer/tutor in a fourth rate school, perhaps.

Of course, that presumes a moment in time where they begin cheating, risking it all. If they were cheating all along, from age 12 onward, maybe stopping is the problem.

That's a very reductive and bad-faith interpretation of the criticism. A much better one would be: "You can write either write a symbol soup with multiple paragraphs explaining what the soup does and why it is good, or you could write an equivalent amount of code in a verbose, readable language. The former option introduces two places for errors: they could be either in the code, or in the mapping from the code to the prose, while the latter only has one."
