If that's unclear the answer is simple, destroy the key. Otherwise you can try to be a good neighbour and let them know. You do not get to just open random doors and see what's going on.

The real issue here is whether this instance is comparable, not whether opening doors with lost and found keys is a bad thing.

The real difference is whether they 'found' the key or if they were handed it. In this case I'd argue they were handed the key, as there was no plausible protection mechanism preventing them from accessing the key. It wasn't lying around somewhere forgotten or secret, it was in plain sight.

And frankly we need some good Samaritan laws for cases where someone responsibly disclose a vulnerability without doing further harm, even if what they did was illegal on its own it certainly should not be in light of the fact that they responsibly disclosed the vulnerability.
Sure, but they had people who tried. I can’t say that they were effective but you could actually work on “I’m going to work with farmers in China to see if we can boost their crop yields” as your job, at least you could in the past.
It warms my heart that almost 20 years later, the same thread is playing out again.

That solution doesn't sound great. Consider these situations:

* User is on p.54, turns the page, and now they are on ... ?

* User tells a friend: 'Look at the second paragraph of p.54'. Friend: 'I'm looking, I don't see it'. User: 'Oh, the other p.54' ...
> new oil field

I was surprised because I assumed Norway wouldn’t open new oil fields. I’d say it’s “interesting,” but what I actually mean isn’t publishable.
The cost of oil production in Norway is high compared to most OPEC countries, so net production will mostly flat. They can just loosen their grip a bit. The GDP would drop for nothing.
350k in new H100s and in total 600k in H100s equivalents.
Yes. That's what (de)coupling is.
> Just search 'anti-science' in the US.

And marvel at the pseudoscientific claims, that purely coincidentally get a free pass from science.

Don't forget though: the claim is "We have no idea what is real, throw away all technology and lets live in the trees". I am anti-science, but I am not the strawman described above - I wonder how many others are like me, and I also wonder how many in the pro-science camp actually care about such details, despite how important interpersonal relations are when it comes to people's beliefs (something fairly well studied by science, ironically).

> It pre-dates Covid by a few years, and Covid just ramped it up.

Was it the virus itself, or might it have been the mass psychological phenomenon surrounding covid that got people all worked up?

> We are having measles outbreaks. Polio is coming back. The US is turning more towards a religious Fundamentalism, and science just doesn't fit their world view.

That's right! I recommend scientists take off their fundamentalist hats and put their science hats back on, lest even more misfortune befall them, and us.

> (of course, i'm assuming you were making a comment about my internal model being that the US is turning anti-science, and based on models being imperfect, maybe i'm over-stating it.)

"I have a bee in my bonnet" is probably a decent description of my ire lol. Joking aside though: I am literally serious about what I say, and I propose it is very far from guaranteed that I do not have a valid and causally important point.
Ask HN: Is no one bothered that Apple silently installed Journal app on iPhones?
I noticed a new app (Journal) on my home screen, and was very confused since I didn't remember installing it. After some googling, it seems that Apple installed it silently as part of the upgrade to iOS 17.2.1.

Yes, I can just delete it (and have done so). But is no one bothered by this breach? More and more, I am finding Apple to be such a greedy, hypocritical company and am getting disgusted by their PR image.

Do others feel similarly?

I predict some of you will comment "why not stop using iPhones", so I'll address that in advance. It's not easy to move away if you have already bought a bunch of devices and software that all work together. Moving to Android will take significant time, money and effort, and hence the threshold to do so tends to be high. It takes time for the aggregate of annoyances to catch up to that, but I feel like I am nearing my limits, and will seriously consider alternatives on my next phone refresh cycle.

INTENT is the keyword for most laws. If the intent here was to check the security it is 100% legal within EU. Don't know about UK. I guess the guy poked around.
He's lying because he's so far behind.
He had access to the key by looking at the source code. The key wasn't intended to be used by him manually.
Yup, I did this (not for $60!!) almost a decade ago with 4 savemyserver HP 1U’s and a switch. Each server cost me about $200 without HDD. Another $200 in ECC memory. I used it for a long time until colocation costs went up because they were bought by L3Harris.

I run a couple ryzen mini PCs on Verizon fios 1Gbps at home now for my hosting needs but I would jump at $60 colo in a heartbeat if I got even 100mb connection unmetered.
DARPA is doing a relatively large scale effort to see if social sciences papers replicate, and how easy it is to look at a paper and guess if it will replicate

the preliminary estimation phase predicts like 50% rates of replication

let's be real, the average social science paper is not good

edit: there are lots of garbage papers in every field, the culture of academia is deeply flawed, the low standards are just even lower in some fields
The number cited in the parent comment was US$2/month. We have roughly 3k subscriptions at US$1/month, and although we'd love to collect more of the revenue, I don't find myself thinking that PP's micropayment structure is untenable for this.

Yes, for 25c payments, especially one-off's, the systems are not there at this time.
Right, that’s what I’m talking about. Early Google wasn’t like “oh if we pair people with better ads the markets become more efficient and this society benefits” or whatever. They literally had people working on protein folding because they were interested in it.

I feel like WebGPU actually holds some amount of promise as a cross-platform convenience. I'd agree that there's not a great reason to update your native code for this right now though.

If you're writing new gfx code though and are more familiar with web technology, there's definitely utility there. That's the bigger value prop: that people with web development skills can work on more pro (GPU-required) applications.
Spam is an inevitability on any system. Matrix gets spam, Facebook Messenger gets spam, email gets spam. Where there's people, there's always going to be spam. I even get spam on Xbox Live messages, beginning years ago!

Another idea that interests me is whitelist-prioritized communications for stuff like IM, and phone calls from the PSTN. If someone isn't in my address book, they shouldn't be able to get through as easily (not saying block them completely, that sounds like a disaster).

It's funny, so much hype and emphasis on things like AGI and crypto, but the problems we should solve first and foremost aren't anywhere near as sexy or lucrative. Profitable shareholder driven biz are usually by their very nature never going to chase these types of problems.
Robotic boat, a large tank, some power-to-storable tech, a power generating turbine beneath the waterline and a huge kite. Just send it out on the oceans, to cruise aimlessly wherever the satellite uplink suggests favorable weather and have it head home when the algorithms assumes that remaining tank capacity might get filled up on the way back. Most attractive post-fossil future ever.

Unfortunately, unattended power-to-anything is very much a far away dream, despite all delusions of being able to do it large scale on Mars. All other technology is basically ready to go, and the "lateral lift" of a fast-moving boat is a perfectly adequate substitute for mooring when it comes to tapping wind on the high seas.

It’s a process not an end state.

“Follow science” and ‘follow “the” science’ are two different things, and we just need to go back in history to understand that humans did some horrible stuff because of “the” science.
Already done it. I’m speaking from experience, not fear.
I sometimes wonder what the outcome would have been if they didn't curb 'Sydney'.

In those first few weeks users reported spending hours engaged with the product and that they had some of the most interesting conversations in their life.

The interest and engagement quickly died down as the 'errant' human-like behavior was tampered down.
Is reusing an allocation while changing its size a thing you expect to be able to do? I would believe that some languages/systems/etc can do that, but it certainly feels like an exception rather than a rule. Reuse generally means the whole block of memory is retained, from what I've seen, because you'd have to track that half-freed memory for reuse somehow and that has some associated cost. (A compacting-GC language would be a reasonable exception here, for example)
Great job. I recently had a similar idea while reading the sci-fi series The Expanse - I read in English and since it's not my first language, I am often confused by descriptions of spaceships, planets, constructions, etc. I have problems visualising it.

I had an idea to use RAG to extract all relevant descriptions of given object and compile them to a detailed description. The description would be fed to a text-to-image model.

Have you considered something similar? It would be harder to implement, but the results could be more precise and it would be possible to cover books GPT-4 is not familiar with.
Thanks again. I have to correct my previous reply. The ESP32-S3 has an extended instruction set detailed in the technical reference manual. These include vector operations (8, 16, or 32 bit).

I'm curious, why do you believe int8 will dominate?
Nobody should trust my opinion, I am not an attorney, let alone one specialized in this area.

In my understanding, a PBC is effectively the same as a for-profit company with regards to these sorts of things. Unlike a non-profit, a PBC has stock, which it can sell, so that's how it would get acquired. I believe that there were even some PBC SPACs back when that was fashionable.

> If they violate their charter as Ello may have, who exactly enforces it or file a lawsuit, and what is their compensation?

The only real thing a PBC does is change "shall maximize shareholder value" to "shall be managed in a manner that balances the stockholders’ pecuniary interests, the best interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct, and the public benefit or public benefits identified in its certificate of incorporation." See here for Delaware: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc15/

So it would look like any other shareholder grievance against management in form.
The difference, of course, being that I can't startup a private enterprise offering my own license, certifying folks to be on the road. Whereas the existing of municipal or public infra would not preclude the existence of private competition. They'd just actually have to compete.
I can't wait to not be able to run the trained model.
If it has to be 3D, Roblox is probably your best bet. There is a book Coding with Roblox Lua in 24 Hours: The Official Roblox Guide that is a good start. But for ages 9, it is going to be a steep learning curve.

If he is flexible, I would highly recommend starting with the Scratch programming language. You can make decent 2D games and there is a lot less cognitive overhead.
And every time some minor issue puts our biggest reactor offline the price of electricity spikes. Large nuclear reactors are huge single points of failure.
Carbon capture technologies produce more carbon emissions than they can capture if you account for the resource use for production and construction. Even when they do slightly better than breaking even the margin is so low that scaling it up is not a meaningful contribution relative to the amount of emissions we would need to counteract. This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

Geo engineering to the degree necessary to revert climate change is bad sci-fi, not science, no matter what billionaires selling personal EVs are telling you.

On the other hand we know that we are seeing an immense problem of overproduction which is incentivized by the economic system and impossible to tackle by blaming consumers for bad choices and asking the industry nicely to reduce waste or letting them get away with greenwashing by planting trees and raising honey bees. We could change that but it would require significant market intervention, which we (most Western nations at least) have been ideologically opposed to for decades.
> It's just unlikely to satisfy investors who were promised either a nice exit or a hockey stick.

Agreed. In our case we offered to buy them out.
I had similar. Was told I didn’t have enough troubleshooting experience when my previous 4 jobs involved it centrally or exclusively, and no questions were asked about my process when troubleshooting.
> It feels like almost all the issues with self-checkout technology come from the attempts to minimise shoplifting, which don't even seem that effective at doing that. In theory, a system that let you scan products the same way checkout staff do without any weight checks or bagging area rules or other interruptions would be incredibly efficient. Especially if you could do things like scan the same product multiple times if you were buying multiple copies of it.

Our local supermarket has this. A phone app you scan things as you go, and when leaving you scan a QR code, swipe to pay, then you get a code to open the gate out and you leave. It's incredibly smooth. Also, this means you can just put your bags in your cart and bag while you shop, so you just completely skip checkout, it's a breeze.

I don't understand your point about scanning multiple times though. If I'm buying 5 of something I scan one of them, and just increase the count to five.
I wonder how this will cut into the hobbiest/learn-at-home crowd with our half width, 1U free-tier-license ESXi servers we learn our skills for our day jobs on.
Google is asking devs to write a proposal to access Gemini Nano (on-device)
From a Google email

> We have been overwhelmed by the extraordinary volume of interest we have received in our Early Access Preview. At this stage of our program, we would like to prioritize opening up access to developers who have a clear vision of what they would like to build with Gemini Nano.
Therefore, we kindly request additional information about your specific plans for utilizing Gemini Nano or other On-Device Generative AI APIs.
Here's what we're looking for:
•
A clear and concise vision: What specific features or applications would you build? How would these features benefit your users and/or business?
•
Why does this feature or application need on-device execution of Gemini Nano? What about your use case will highlight the advantages of on-device generative models?

To help us understand your plans in more detail, we invite you to submit a no more than 2-page proposal outlining your vision. This proposal will be crucial in determining which developers will get access to Gemini Nano at this stage of our Early Access Preview.

The first order negative impact of burning fossil fuels is stuff like pollution, global warming etc. This is not accounted for by the price of these fuels.

The first order positive impacts of burning fossil fuels are accounted for in the price of the fuels. That's what people are paying for. I need to drive a car, here is some money for oil.

What you are apparently talking about are the second order positive impact of fossil fuels. Some upside due to living in an environment of abundant cheap energy. I think you will have to argue more that these second order effects are comparable in size to the first order effects.

Ask HN: Where can I ask for code reviews online without being roasted for fun?
This may just be a cognitive bias on my side of things, but, I've found that a lot of the time when you ask people you don't work with to review your code, they tend to review it savagely, and with the intent of completely, and absolutely destroying you for "likes", "upvotes", etc.

A lot of the time I just want to figure out if I'm going down the right path before I have anything perfect, or breathlessly beautiful to ask for feedback on.

A lot of the time, I'm learning a new technology or a new paradigm and don't know what I'm doing, and, asking for help on Reddit or StackOverflow usually just means being roasted.

Is there any way to avoid the roasts?

Is there a different community everyone goes to?
There's an entire subfield dedicated to calculating life values for making difficult decisions.

I don't recall seeing having children as a variable in that valuation, it's typically more about how many years of work you continue to do, cast back into current dollars ("present value lifetime earnings", see https://escholarship.org/content/qt82d0550k/qt82d0550k.pdf?t...) and normalized for base rates.
> inherited wealth

We keep hearing that. (Because it sounds good).

It should be true because it's not all that hard to keep wealth increasing at least modestly - and let time do the work. But take heart! "The Missing Billionaires" argues that in practice inherited wealth is reliably lost over shockingly few generations.
I would not say it is you, it is the general market right now. Companies are uncertain about the economic outlook.
It's really true. Bing chat is 'smarter' when it doesn't search.

"and perhaps as low as 10%."

And why stop there? Why not .01%?

"a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent poses a risk"

Preponderance of the evidence is more likely than not. I would assume there is case law on what a risk is, or a definition somewhere in the text. If not, this is overly vague as the general definition is just a possibility of loss, which would include any level of risk, even .01%.

"Also note that, at least in my state, the respondent is afforded the opportunity to be present at the hearing determining whether or not they pose a risk."

Really, I thought that all states that had red flag laws had ex-parte initial hearings and that respondants were only allowed at the final hearings, after things likes having property seized and being forced out of thier home, etc.

I wasn't able to find that text in a Google search, so I'm not sure which state that is for me to look into it further.
Ah, not in the man page on my system.

Nothing can produce "truths". If you want absolute truths, pick a holy text and decide for yourself what absolute truth you can pin on it.
Climate models are fundamentally physical, but I don't have the insight in the field to have the deep insight to make qualified opinions.

I could after significant research as suggested. But that is a significant endeavour, hence following the opinion of the field is typically sufficient.

It's like a fronted developer making comments on kernel development and vice versa. It's both fundamentally code, but different fields.

Leaving aside the vast semantic Gulf between what Feynman was talking about and things being "bollocks", how do you evaluate the truthiness of novel arguments? The typical solution here is domain experts, aka peer review. The author's point is that they don't trust peer review, so you need some other method that's both practical and universal. I can't imagine what that could possibly look like.

It wasn't hidden though.

Lets pretend the guy was a pest exterminator, hired to kill some bug infestation. He is given a keycard to access most of the building. As he is hunting down the nest, he finds a hole in the wall. Bugs tend to come through holes in walls, so he goes in to figure out whether what he is looking for originates there.

He enters the room on the other side, and looks around for other holes that might have bugs. He then notices a file with big red letters saying "TOP SECRET". Turns out he accidentally entered the maximum security file room. So now he leaves the room, goes to security and tells them what he found. Then gets arrested for 1 count of trespassing and 1 count of breaking and entering.

How is that fair?
Please respond in good faith instead of trying to ‘gotcha’ me.

There are building inspections periodically during construction by the authority having jurisdiction, with the important trades (MEP, civil, structural) having their own specialized inspections.

When you buy a new house (or a new building), you will receive a warranty for workmanship from the builder who should have corresponding workmanship warranties for all their subcontractors, and the materials will also have warranties from the manufacturer.

Lastly, you can sue the builder if all other options are exhausted.
