I love John Chadwick's original The Decipherment of Linear B. It's my favorite book of all time for its nostalgic value. A taut detective story about science and discovery, following the evidence with great integrity even when it challenges your own assumptions and established dogma, how intelligence and insight can transfer domains (Ventris was an architect by training), the value of open scientific collaboration - and the knowledge rewards we can earn when we aspire to these values.

Later books did a much better job shining a light on Ventris' collaborators, in particular the scientifically far more rigorous Alice Kober (e.g. The Riddle of the Labyrinth), but I will never forget reading Chadwick with 14, or thereabouts, and feeling profoundly affected. A formative read, even if the actual state of science on Linear B is quite a bit more complicated!

See above; this app sadly won't be available.
It's bizarre to end this by denouncing encryption. "There's been this long lasting problem on Facebook, but a large part of it is something introduced last month."
Yes because my life was better when I stopped visiting all those sites for a time. More productive, more focused, more present. I found myself “addicted” to other things though: work slack, discord, etc.

I made it about 1.5 months before relapsing. It was difficult at first but easy after a few days. It’s funny how when I returned 1.5 months later seemingly nothing had happened in that time. There was hardly anything to “miss out on”. I plan to do it again…but not at this exact moment :-)
The Linear B decipherment is a bit of a con (more on Chadwick's side than poor Ventris, I expect). Ventris' grid method is cryptographic nonsense, of course. (Look in vain for any frequency tabulation.) But Chadwick (one of the best, or at least most self-promoting, Greek lexicographers of his day) seems to have recognized that a loose enough spelling formula, together with an impossibly large lexicon of ancient Greek, is a recipe for infinite decipherment fun.

One Oxfordian liked to take the English names of visiting scholars, turn them into Linear B, and then back into Greek using the very loose Ventris rules, only to find that some Greek god would always come out.

But this example is more fun (courtesy of Michael C. Stokes by way of Douglas Young):

Arma uirumque cano Troiae qui primus ab oris...

a-ma wi-ru-qe ka-no to-ro-ja qi-pi-ri-mu a-po-ri

halmai wiluite kainos Tholoiai Diphilimus apolis

ἅλμαι ἰλύι τε καινῶς Θολῳᾳ Διφιλιμος ἄπολις

That is, the first line of Virgil's Aeneid (Latin) -> Linear B -> Greek. My trans: "With brine and slime, at Tholoia [place of beehive tombs], Diphilimus is made a ruined city in an inventive way."

> Now just to find a competent neurologist who's willing to run a brain scan.

FYI: Autism isn’t diagnosed by brain imaging. It’s an area of active research and there have been a few small studies from researchers claiming progress with fMRI techniques, but there is no current imaging test a doctor can order to check you for autism.

So if you do find a neurologist who claims to be able to diagnose you by brain scan, you should actually leave that doctor and find a better one.
Uh probably not. In theory I might spend more time working on my side projects, but in all likeliness I'd just end up spending more time on social media sites with less interesting/intelligent conversations instead.

It's definitely made me a bit more cynical too, but to be honest... so has most of the internet. It's very easy to see the worst in humanity if you spend too long on any of these social media services.
Somewhere in the docker daemon’s config parameters I imagine: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd
It's just a fundamental disconnect then, I guess. You and I have a very different understanding of how this "crime" was carried out.

He was charged for connecting to a database with credentials that he was already connecting to before with the application. I could argue that he already had access to the other data because the connection allowed it.

So, that begs the question: what did he actually "break" into and how is it different than connecting to the database via the app on the same PC? Would you even be able to tell the difference as a sysadmin looking at logs?
That’s a bit reductive. On VR you can also watch immersive videos and mainstream films in 3D.
I mean, yes, legally, it's a fire escape. But, there's a full size door leading out to it, it's typically made of treated wood, and the staircase is a normal wood staircase, not some rickety metal thing.

These also have the added bonus of being generally a nicer staircase than the one that's actually built into the house. The interior, retrofitted staircases tend to be narrow with lots of awkward, angled steps.

Lol? Where are you getting your sources?
Take a look at LibreWolf. It "standardizes" all fingerprintable variables (canvas size, fonts, etc) so that you look like anybody else with a default config.
Lovely! We just migrated from postgres 14 to 16 for 3 postgres clusters (servers) on RDS containing about 2TB of data across 8 databases. We were down from 00:00 to 04:00. Steps we took:

* enabled our fallback "maintenance mode" site. It's a super lightweight version of our site running on CF workers.
* scaled down all apps using the db to 0 in terraform
* hit the upgrade button in the aws web ui, which runs pg_upgrade. 14->15
* waited for it to finish
* hit the upgrade button again. 15->16
* waited for the dbs to start accepting connections (they do before they're marked as ready, I think aws does more stuff than pg_upgrade)
* Started `VACUUM ANALYZE; REINDEX DATABASE CONCURRENTLY`. The idea is to avoid performance issues between versions and make use of performance improvements from new versions.
* Started spinning up the apps again
* Waited until all apps had a handful of containers running
* Started accepting traffic (disabled maintenance site)
* Went to bed

The REINDEX CONCURRENTLY happily chugged along for the biggest db for another 18 hours without blocking anything. Next time we're doing aws blue/green deploys to avoid downtime. We didn't this time since we weren't on 14.9 yet (the minimum minor version of 14 supported by blue green).

If I was doing this myself I wouldn't pay the AWS tax, instead do blue/green myself with logical replication and a load balancer.
I don't think it would make much of a difference. It's assuming HN makes any impact to my life as it is. If it wasn't HN then it'd probably be a video game or some other "time-wasting" activity in my downtime.

I gave HN a break for a bit, didn't make any difference. It's like having an interactive newspaper of news I might be interested in when there's not much happening with my RSS reader.
Hello, welcome to an init vs systemd rehash! :)
We definitely did a dry run with a parity configuration a couple nights before. It gave us a lot more confidence.
I briefly worked with Hans around 2005. My impression at the time was that he declined the manslaughter plea because he thought he was smarter than everyone around him.
The cost of the land to the grower is lower on account of the presence of the turbines.
Maybe that is typical, but it's not correct.

A lot of animals do possess general intelligence in the sense that they can adapt to a wide range of different situations(within what they're physically capable of).

Involving "human level" in this definition just makes it much more poorly defined.
I had a very similar experience with Canonical when I was looking for my first job. The entire tone of the transaction was very negative and passive aggressive. It made me nervous about their work culture so I decided not to continue the application process. I'm still a bit bummed about it since I would have loved to work in that space.
Use two trucks when needed?

This is a really simple fix that the rest of the world does better.
I just mean in the usual way that another component in the stack is another way for things to go wrong, another thing to update that might mean api changes that require further effort, and so on.

It was plenty solid, but I’ve definitely seen it fall victim to operator error :-) I’d certainly consider using it again to support a team, under the right circumstances.
But it's perfect if you do want to watch alone. Depending on the app, 5.1 audio is spatialized. Resolution is effectively 1080p in terms of detail if you make the screen comfortably large.

And if you have the right app, you can lie back on your bed and watch your movie on a cinema screen that feels like it's floating above you in the sky. Incredibly relaxing, and amazing if you have any kind of back problems.

Also the best way to watch 3D movies -- no loss of brightness like in cinemas, and none of the ghosting you get using Bluetooth shutter glasses with a TV/projector.
Most of this cash is in offshore accounts and Apple can't use it domestically without paying a boat load of taxes on it. Moreover Netflix's market cap at the moment is $212B and with even a conservative 30% acquisition premium Apple would have to pay $275-300B. They simply can't afford it.
So 20th, not bad but not the best. Some surprising countries before it, such as Australia. And UK number 2. This does seem to back up the OP.

Yes, it's that bad. See Hanno's talk a few years ago about nonce reuse.

https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot16/workshop-program/pr...

It was presented at Black Hat by injecting their slides into the MI6 website, IIRC, using this exact weakness.

It's not just a bad issue, it's also deceptively easy to run into and not realize it.

AES-GCM has a 96-bit nonce. If you sample these randomly, after 2^32 messages, you have a greater than 2^-32 chance of reuse for each subsequent message.

If you're using this algorithm with a static key to encrypt customer records, as a small business, you might never hit this bound.

If you're as large as a cloud provider, you get a nonce reuse every hour.

(Check out Amazon's KMS white paper if you'd like to see how they avoid this sharp edge in practice.)
Xeon Phi is dead end so I don't know is it good example.
Speed/responsiveness via customized UI. The youtube app is noticeably faster and easier to use than the youtube mobile website.
If China wants to destroy their cultural heritage, that's their right. Same with Syria, Egypt, India, Africa, wherever. No one owes colonizers the gift of their heritage, culture or artifacts.

Sure, the British preserved plenty, but that isn't relevant when none of it was theirs to preserve.
Cool, but you still get below 5% capacity factor on solar in Poland during the day, and guess what? There's night 16 hours a day.
People also use it as a nootropic which I think the parent is referring to.
Moderation would be the best. I have gotten a little bit of value from Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and HN. But most of that value can be captured within a few minutes a day rather than the few hours I spend. But moderation feels harder than quitting outright. I relapsed on Reddit recently and I found it easier to just have a zero tolerance policy.
Although my Elac speakers and SVS sub have an opinion of their own, but I agree generally regarding Oculus. Apple MacBook Pros are the best approximation for stereo-only. My Thinkpad T series has terrible speakers, so headphones are an improvement for almost any activity there. Quest Pro sound is pretty good, but it's nothing spectacular and good luck casting or viewing multichannel media there, i.e., there's no Plex or VLC for Oculus (this app doesn't work on Quest[0]). Without the encouragement and convincing of each major app vendor to get on another platform, they won't and can't justify the expense. This is one of catch-22's of platforms being double-ended marketplaces that must be addressed, or it will bomb.

This is about readability. The point is that only if you _don't_ have an ending slash, you need to know the tag type. If there is one, you don't need to know anything to understand the tree structure, the code is self-evident.

Do you add quotes to your single-word attribute values? Why? They are also unnecessary following the spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#unquoted

Do you omit the opening html tag because it's optional? https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#optional-tags

Do you write unclosed <dd> tags? Do you close your paragraph elements?

The spec allows a lot of questionable styles, your argument that because something is not required it is superfluous doesn't hold any water.
Isn't the App Store basically user generated content with moderation?

They have certainly received bad publicity over the App Store.
> Reproduction is not the goal! Making papers is not the goal! Making useful models is the goal.

1. The thread is about the requirements of calling a model open source. The goal of making the models is separate from the requirements of the open source definition.

2. Suppose that author A of a model prefers working exclusively with the model weights to modify the model. Author A's preferred form of modification includes the model weights - and whatever scripts are needed to generate a running model from the weights - but does not include the training set and initial training scripts. Suppose that author B of an unrelated model prefers to retrain the model as part of the process of modifying the model. If author B changes the training set and/or changes the training scripts, then the training set is part of the preferred form of modifying the model. The training set and the training scripts are both necessary for turning the training set into a running model, so I think author B would have to include the training set even if author B changes only the training scripts. Correct me if I'm wrong.) jncfhnb, you're like author A, so if you were to release an open source model then you would need to include the weights but not the training data. Trapais and nullc, don't assume that every model author is author B.

For personal reference, here is the relevant excerpt from the open source definition from the Open Source Initiative [A1]:

> The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

Open source software is not the same as free software, but here is the relevant excerpt from the free software definition explainer from the Free Software Foundation [A2]:

> Source code is defined as the preferred form of the program for making changes in. Thus, whatever form a developer changes to develop the program is the source code of that developer's version.

You know everyone gets those discounts right? Like that's why the cloud is so much more economical than a datacenter, once you are at scale AWS will give you MASSIVE (I'm talking 30-60% discounts) on compute and other compute-adjacent resources, and I've seen 99% discounts on bandwidth with multi year agreements too.

I think that's where the disconnect is, a lot of people don't actually realize how cheap cloud compute is because they're only seeing the price for like... 20-30 servers and some basic S3 or load balancer usage. There are entire departments at Amazon that run those numbers on a daily basis to make sure AWS is always competitive with building your own datacenter.
I know as a fact that what you are saying does happen. I also know as a fact that many creators and performers are not being controlled by anyone and are in complete control of their own decisions and finances. Like with everything, we have to use our own judgement. But it's undeniable that there are now many more routes for individuals to pursue sex work independently and that is a very good thing.
So are all the increasingly vintage vhs amateur porno whose provenance can't be tracked on their way out? Are there any porn preservation movements out there?

Sometimes I wonder if there's a common porn clip that high % of world has seen growing up. The de_dust2 of porno. Arguably porn is more global mass culture than any franchise. And I guess it would be kind of a shame if all that is lost.
Or they might try to launch it iOS style, provide stunted 3rd party experience, only first party full apps, and try to launch a 3rd party more complete support later.
What’s your take on Coqui-TTS?
I mean Bluesky is founded by Jack Dorsey, who made a fortune for shareholders with his last social media company by conning an idiot into paying way above market value for it. Of course it'll be hard to make that particular lightning bolt strike twice, but it's not like he doesn't have a good track record.
I was hoping you would mention type checking.
The point of this post isn’t the linear transformer algorithm. They’re surveying a variety of Linear transformers and showing a general form in order to talk at large about their performance characteristics.
We also tried to use DMS for a few things (Rackspace to AWS migration, replication out to data lakes, etc) and it has been consistently undersupported, buggy and ate months of time before we went to other solutions. While a lot of AWS support has been good; not for DMS. It feels entirely half baked .
I'm diagnosed. No brain scan required, but heteroanamnesis was. People who know you well like your parents or partner will be extensively interviewed. As well as yourself, and you (and they) will get many questionnaires which will be cross referenced.

Doesn't feel like an insult at all to me. But then again I've long ago accepted the way I am (society does not).

The way I feel is constantly between bored and overloaded. Simple tasks can overload, yet complex matter or social settings (birthdays, dinner, chrores, etc) can bore me.

I have this with programming but also putting the dishes in the dishwasher but also in gaming. There are too many possibilities. Yet I really dig the freedom to explore the puzzles. Because if the sandbox is too strict, I feel trapped. Which is why vi is a great editor but also one I will never fully master. And that's OK; c'est la vi.
Wind is better if you actually build offshore, which for some reason is very underinvested. We should have 100s of GWs in offshore power in Europe now. The fact that UK does not have even 100GW is a shame.
One issue we hit were any schema changes totally messed it up. I don't have my notes in front of me, but we were constantly hitting data that wouldn't migrate, or that things suddenly broke whenever things changed.
Supply, demand, and cartels like Realpage.
(An awkward comparison, considering that the AI hands are solved by scale and are already going away in good image-generation models and in a few years people will be wondering what that phrase even means.)
Hard disagree on this one.

I’ve done over 400 SWE interviews for a recruiting company. I’ve seen a steady stream of candidates who could talk the talk, but had incredibly weak programming skills when put to the test. And the reverse - I’ve seen plenty of candidates who were awkward socially but ask them a programming problem and they’re right at home.

If you’re hiring for a programming role, assess their programming skills. Not just their social skills. A conversation only tells you half the picture.
Are you suggesting that a company that only does Research but no development (eg because they are selling the patents afterwards or so), should not be classified as doing R&D?

I took R&D as the bucket that we put both research and development into.
They are like 99% there tho. You can start group chat in iMessage and share iCloud videos there. There's some moderation built in iCloud imagine scanning.
That isn't what your linked graph shows. Slightly different hypothetical:

World 1: Men evaluate women on highly idiosyncratic scales. They "like" women in the top 53% of their personal scale, but it's a different scale for each man. All women are "liked" by 53% of men (but it's a different 53% for each woman). Women also evaluate men on highly idiosyncratic scales. They "like" men in the top 5% of their personal scale, but it's a different scale for each woman. All men are "liked" by 5% of women (but it's a different 5% for each woman). Due to their lower standards, men end up "liking" a lot of women who do not "like" them back, but nonetheless, every man will find a mutual match once in every 100 profiles they look at. Women are more selective, and better at focusing their attention on the type of men who might "like" them back, but overall success rates are broadly similar, and every woman will find a mutual match 1.8 times in every 100 profiles they look at.

World 2: Men rank women on a shared objective measure of attractiveness, and "like" any woman in the top 53% of the scale, so 53% of women are "liked" by all men, and 47% are "liked" by no men. Women also rank men on a shared objective measure of attractiveness, and "like" any man in the top 5% of the scale, so 5% of men are "liked" by all women, and 95% of men are "liked" by no women.

Note that in this model on average, 5% of all "likes" from men to women will be mutual, but 95% of men will "like" women and it will never be mutual while 5% of men will "like" women but it will always be mutual. Similarly, on average, 47% of "likes" from women to men will be mutual, but 47% of women will "like" men and it will never be mutual while 53% of women will "like" men and it will always be mutual. (Further note that since most relationships are monogamous, while a bare majority of women can find a mutual match, an overwhelming majority will not have it progress into a relationship since all women are chasing the same 5% of men.)

World 1 matches the graph perfectly, but describes a situation where merely looking at 100 profiles on Tinder guarantees every man a mutual match no matter how ugly or undesirable you may be. World 2 also matches the graph pretty closely, but dooms the vast majority of men and women to be unable to find a relationship at all.

Neither world seems very similar to our own to me (although I do recognise a specific subgroup of men intuit that world 2 is fairly close!), but the fact of the matter is we can't distinguish between world 1, world 2, or reality based on the graph you linked.
> This seems like it is an unreasonable thing to assume. And courts seem to agree.

Illegal vs legal and reasonable vs unreasonable are not entirely analogous.

There are lots of laws that I think are unreasonable and a lot of legal things that I think are unreasonable.
True, you'd have to plug into a device that has content already downloaded. Or use AppleTV, which presumably will have content.
