I'm not sure if you're making an argument or just ranting. But in case it's an argument: the best behavior for the company is to say "ups, we fucked up", work with the hacker to fix the issue and maybe send some cash his way. The second best behavior is to deny the issue and work on fixing it. We didn't have a chance to see that, because 3 day deadline. It's even possible the initial denial was by a non-technical person, and it took more than 3 days to even escalate to somebody able to do something about it. We're not talking about just a guy with a laptop here, fixing this would most likely involve multiple people, both technical and non technical. Quite possibly somebody approving a budget and so on. That's why I said a 3-day deadline is hilarious.
IPvFoo author here. The problem is that there's no way to obtain the (hostname, ip) stream from Chrome/Firefox without requesting the "all websites" permission.

In theory, browser vendors could define a narrowly-scoped permission that only reports (hostname, ip), or roll this functionality into the browser UI, but neither seems likely to happen.

I made IPvFoo to promote IPv6 adoption, and wouldn't consider selling it for less than $10M USD. It probably won't ever be worth that much because it's an easily-cloned utility without a "moat", but it's more rational to set a price than refuse to sell under any circumstances.
…in order to appease shareholders and/or hit earnings numbers, right?
> It’s not like the money just disappears.

Tencent has lost a lot of value in the past few months and has had a terrible year overall. The value has disappeared.

> I think it’s a concept invented to facilitate wealth transfers.

Well, if you transfer a bunch of wealth upwards, it's going to have negative consequences that travel downwards. Those who receive them may describe the economy as "bad." Which not only describes a current state, but probably mostly encodes their lack of hope for any type of future mobility that may change their circumstances.
That's a lot of assumptions packed into a single perspective.
Just download the repo as a zip file and manually upload it as an extension to your browser.
Maybe that wasn't true years ago?
In Marx's time, you needed humans to perform any kind of labor. Even machines needed operators. But there's nothing about LTV that would make it a hard requirement. The point of Marx's claim is that without someone performing labor using capital, there wouldn't be any value for the owner of said capital to pocket. This is just as true if you replace workers with AI.
Human-caused extinction is not correct, based on modern archaeological evidence.
> Is Nature really going to reject that paper? It was written by a Harvard guy, after all.

Yes.
One possible reason is due to Section 174 tax issues. See: https://www.axios.com/2024/01/20/taxes-irs-startups-section1...
Desk rejects also happen regularly from Editors (who are not blind to the author names and affiliations). Editors can also make final decisions to accept or reject when reviewers don't agree.

Even in a blind peer review, the subject of study introduces another layer of bias in the process. Let's say two economics papers are submitted that discusses how people spend their last part of their pay check. One studies a pool of people across United States and other studies of people across Nigeria. Which one do you think is going to get positive review from editors and reviewers? The Nigeria paper might not even go to review. The editor is going to say something on the lines of "the focus of the study is too narrow for the journal" but won't say the same when it is across US. This is in addition to the trust issues with any research conducted outside western countries.

For researchers from the "low ranked" universities, the game is rigged against them and there is nothing they can do to swing it to their favour.
Your definition assumes that photography is not art and/or doesn't involve conscious skill and creative imagination. That's not the consensus, to put it mildly.

True, but it doesn't have a program wrapper and isn't part of the AWS Free tier.

For a lot of teams, it's a better choice than Embrasure, but Embrasure serves its use case well and all of its components can be deployed with AWS's free plan.
Welcome to the world of striving for equity over equality.

Lots of blame levied at a strawman white culture. If only there’d be a concomitant critique of the problematic groups at hand. Alas, that’s verboten under the current regime.

Lowering expectations for those under their patronage only makes advantage easier for me and mine. Good luck to them and their token positions.
IPv4 is to AWS what iMessage is to Apple.

Actually, why doesn’t Apple mandate the IPv6 transition for iOS?
Well, they might have all the info sometimes but we don't know how often or if they even do. How would the IRS know if they know everything? What evidence do they have of absence?

There are 36 countries that manage to do return-free taxes. They seem to have a base rate that covers most (~64% in the UK) people. The US tax code is way more complicated than one base rate for everyone. It's unclear to me how anything other than income tax is handled in these countries. Does the UK have a capital gains tax? Tax deductions?
> I wonder how many universities actually mega climbed ranks in the past decades though

I know of one, the University of Chicago. And it did so by gaming the ranking metrics. It dropped its long and idiosyncratic application and adopted the Common App. The admissions rate tanked from above 40% less than twenty years ago to about 5% now simply because more students applied. Did the quality of the education change? I doubt it.

P.S. Chicago recently dropped out of the top 10 this past year for the first time since adopting the Common App, due to a change in the ranking formula. Which says more about the inside baseball of rankings than it does about the education on offer.

Lucky you; Taiwan is a great place to live!

I would say that selling into US businesses is going to be a real drag, though. Those 11 AM PST meetings start at 3 AM in Taiwan...
One thing is certain. I’d not get into Harvard in 1869.

Initially I thought it was all a rich kids game, but the later maths and geometry questions require you to know what you are doing. Of course thats easier with expensive tutors, but it’s entirely possible you’ll never grasp it.
Curious, what would be a severance package HN would be satisfied with? I suspect the average US employee would be stunned to hear an offer of 6 months.

So much negativity around these statistical outliers. The majority of companies in the US don't offer severance and it's very rare in some industries. Not saying that it's fair, but name and shame? Maybe we're living in different worlds.
If it's "unprofitable to hire people", raise your prices. If people aren't willing to pay those prices, your business model is a failure and your company is not a benefit to society.

It is detrimental to society to allow capital owners to pocket all the profits and drive the cost of labor down.
Love this! Above all else - I find that my mind wonders with concerning ease and so having something that is a Chrome extension means I'm not having to go back and forth between other tools (in other tabs!). This keeps me on task and allows me to time-block periods in my day where I can just focus on a 'themed folder' from which to go through stuff I've bookmarked and written up simple reminder context notes, for that very purpose.
Much needed - in my busy-mind life. Thanks
Was this Tencent's decision then since they own Riot? Tencent seems to be facing some headwinds. See:

> I'd guess blenders are a commodity at this point - for most of the market, customers are very price sensitive, so since repairability ain't gonna win you any points, you may just as well assume that you get a fraction of the market share, and if your product breaks early, you'll capture that fraction of repeat purchases.

I think I'd call cars a commodity too. I used to avoid buying cars with auto transmissions or turbos. The auto transmission will need a rebuild[1] around 200000km, and the turbo is just an extra thing that could break, and yet new-car buyers vastly prefer to buy autoboxes with turbos.

Some manufacturers (Audi) stopped making manual transmission NA cars back in 2010, without even seeing a dip in sales.

If buyers cared about repair costs, auto transmissions and turbos wouldn't be anywhere near as common as we see.

[1] All cars have clutches. In a traditional auto the clutch plates are inside the box and requires many dozens more hours of billable labour than the clutch plate in a manual transmission.
AWS doesn't have good enough IPv6 support for an exodus from IPv4. ALB does not support IPv6-only. Cloudfront only supports IPv4 origins. API Gateway only supports IPv4.
Man what a mess. I guess if you give someone something to optimize (publications) they will do so.

Science has become distracted by celebrity and money.

What a waste of grant money. I hope the NCI, NSF and NIH fund a program to route out scientific fraud, it is clearly needed.

When I was in grad school some fellow students were admonished for plagiarism but allowed to stay. I always think of who was denied a place by these folks.
The “threat” that a government might regulate the operations of a corporation is not a threat at all, that’s a very normal policy discussion. Your suggestion that I am inviting threats against people is an fantasy and unrelated to this discussion.
I dunno, my local (council-affiliated "Better" brand) gym claims exactly that in its advertising — that you pay by the month with no cancellation fee — but it turns out when you go to cancel that they have already laid claim to the next month's payment too and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. On that day I certainly wished I had it on its own special account that I could just close.
Thank you. I got 1/3 of the way through and started wondering why I was struggling to get to the end. I backed out and checked the comments hoping to find exactly what you posted.
I’m aware, I left the academic world in no small part that I refused to write papers that weren’t worth reading. A high quality, but short, CV is a career ender these days. I’m happier now though!
They have required that iOS apps must work in an IPv6-only environment for years.
Time is not a zero cost thing, and especially not for the poorest people.
Sales isn't easy to measure.

If you generate the same number of leads, do you need 300 salespeople to convert them? Or could your top 100 performers do it? Do you need separate salespeople for each product or can one person sell it all?

At the trough of interest rates, big companies had insane numbers of salespeople touching each deal (easily 10+ at some orgs) because they'd over-hired and the forced people to hyper-specialize to justify it.
Can MemeZoo make you money in the long run?
I was playing around with the MemeZoo App platform and although its in Beta, the features look very promising. Since it aggregates all the Meme monetization avenues, how long until it starts making money for its users?
CIDR and the resulting address space fragmentation was the problem that IPv6 was originally meant to solve; allowing splitting into random-sized subnets makes routing more complex and worse. And if you made the routable part of an IPv6 address longer than 64 bits then that makes the routing much more compute-intensive. 64 bits in the local part of the address is sort of overkill, but a 128 bit address isn't really any harder to use than a 96 bit address, and it means things like, well, being able to automatically assign the local part based on the MAC address, which only works if the local part of the address is more than 48 bits.
If they're about warmth, then maybe keeping the air volume to a minimum is part of the function, so maybe curling up was a part of it. The other part was probably that people were statistically shorter in the middle ages.
This really needs to be an EU-wide thing, and a lot sooner.

Two years till it becomes illegal to offer something on IPv4 for the general public and not offer it on IPv6, two more years and no ISP may route IPv4.

Also no ISP NAT bullshit. A default enabled firewall refusing incoming connections is fine, but the internet should be a network of machines that can talk to each other, and for that to happen it must be possible for owners to accept incoming connections, even if it is for nothing more than remote access to their PCs.
Let's wait and see, this feels like a mistrial by a small court. The last word has not been spoken here.
The one pencil sketch gives you some idea. I think they just have a smallish opening — it looks like there is room to the left and to the right (inside) of the shuttered area.
It is visible in the APNIC Labs measurement at 30% and within different AS of China Mobile at 65% or better, it depends province by provice, and provider by provider.

https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CN

I don't call this abysmal at all. It very possibly is higher, there are reasons why APNIC may undercount, but noting that APNIC and Akamai tend to agree on their numbers.

Google's own numbers for China are far lower for reasons which do not affect the APNIC or Akamai data.
Even the collaborators who did not engage in fraud show a shockingly low level of concern for correcting or retracting fraudulent papers their names are attached to. At this point, I think it is best to assume all involved are guilty and they should have to demonstrate their integrity by how proactively they work to correct the errors.
I appreciate the write up. Nice read.
They vaccinate boys. Our doctor recommended it, but I suspect it largely depends on the doctor.
>primary browsing language is en-gb

Related to this, being multi-lingual on the web can be annoying. If I set my language to da-DK (my native), some non-danish websites will serve a poorly translated or machine translated version. But if I set it to en-GB a lot of danish web sites will serve an english translation, which I also don't want. I have to fiddle with this setting a lot. I wish I could set da-DK only for .dk TLDs.
They won't correct the record because they "can't admit an oversight" due to the snark in a niche newsletter...a newsletter which you then say isn't important enough to serve as an incentive? So which is it, important or not?

I would think they can't admit an oversight due to the institutional incentives you mention; the snark is irrelevant. If anything, it encourages publicity for the oversight, which is the only thing that might change the incentive.
When I was young and had a bunk bed it was pretty normal to box the lower bunk in with sheets, cushions from the couch — whatever — just to make it into a cave-like thing.

Suddenly I want something like this again.
Arguing that "we can price IPv4 out" only reinforces my point; of course, ignoring the fact that it is a pipe-dream. But the fact remains, no one really prefers IPv6 over IPv4.
But it should be possible for a system to prove its consistency, right?
AI is the ultimate leaky abstraction
It is when things go bad that you really need to start thinking. How well do you actually understand AI models?
Is that true for unprocessed meats like steak, too? Stats predominantly reflecting a diet consisting of pizza, sandwiches, burgers (chased down with soda and/or beer) are irrelevant, if we’re talking about carnivore.
2.5k! That's definitely high for a family of five (assuming). Not that you should, I have expensive taste, but certainly you could bring that down?
> But I can trivially easily buy replacement brake pads from any number of manufacturers. Even for a Lexus LFA (limited production supercar), I can buy pads from Bendix, FVP, Proline, and Wagner [and that's just what RockAuto carries].

My point isn't that aftermarket manufacturers stepped in, my point is that, with old cars, the design was close to, if not identical to, an existing caliper, even if that was from a different manufacturer.

Maybe it was because many manufacturers didn't design or manufacture their own calipers - it was done by bendix, et al. Now they spend extra money designing their own, often with no obvious benefit.

> Note that none of those were branded as Toyota/Lexus original parts, nor sold by them. If they did all that design work in order to capture spare parts sales, they forgot to do the second part of that strategy.

That's only the brake pads bit. I mentioned quite a few other components, too.

No no, he wasn't hired by them, they were hired by him (or, rather, his org).

His org had keys to the front door. His team had reported that their designated closet seemed to have a bunch of other people's stuff in it. He walked in, and instead of walls, the closet had curtains. He stuck his head through the curtain and saw other people's shit, then pulled his head out and reported it. Then he got fined.

This is the first time I hear of liking heels as having a foot fetish.
Le organizzazioni media e gli esperti degli affari nordcoreani sono stati bersaglio di una sofisticata campagna di hacking nel dicembre 2023, orchestrata dall'attore minaccioso noto come ScarCruft. Secondo i ricercatori di SentinelOne, ScarCruft ha introdotto nuove catene di infezione, utilizzando un rapporto tecnico di ricerca minaccia come esca, mirando probabilmente ai professionisti della sicurezza informatica e agli appassionati di intelligence sulle minacce.

ScarCruft, anche noto come APT37, InkySquid, RedEyes, Ricochet Chollima e Ruby Sleet, è collegato al Ministero della Sicurezza di Stato (MSS) della Corea del Nord, distinguendosi dai gruppi Lazarus e Kimsuky. Il gruppo è noto per il targeting di governi e disertori, utilizzando esche di spear-phishing per consegnare il backdoor RokRAT, perseguendo gli interessi strategici della Corea del Nord.

L'ultima campagna di attacco di ScarCruft, individuata da SentinelOne, ha preso di mira un esperto degli affari nordcoreani, fingendo di essere un membro dell'Istituto di Ricerca sulla Corea del Nord. La vittima è stata indotta ad aprire un file ZIP contenente materiali di presentazione. Benché la maggior parte dei file fosse benigna, due file LNK maligni riflettono una sequenza di infezione precedentemente nota.

SentinelOne ha anche scoperto malware, inclusi due file LNK ("inteligence.lnk" e "news.lnk") e varianti di shellcode che consegnano RokRAT. Questi elementi sono stati identificati come parte dei processi di pianificazione e test di ScarCruft. Sebbene la procedura di infezione tramite news.lnk non sia ancora stata osservata in natura, indica una possibile utilizzazione in future campagne.

Il continuo sviluppo delle tattiche di ScarCruft suggerisce un adattamento attivo per eludere la rilevazione, in risposta alle divulgazioni pubbliche sulle sue tecniche. Il gruppo rimane impegnato nell'acquisire intelligence strategica, cercando di ottenere informazioni su minacce e strategie di difesa non pubbliche. Questo approccio consente a ScarCruft di comprendere meglio la percezione della comunità internazionale sugli sviluppi in Corea del Nord, influenzando così i processi decisionali del paese.

I randomly clicked on repeatability and am still curious about how it's achieved with distributed training. Wouldn't deterministic synchronization make things slow? But I have heard that at least in a couple of big companies, their training is repeatable.
That's my was the first thought to cross my mind. As I was composing my post though, I tried to keep in mind that there are people in a position to need to take crappy jobs with crappy companies, and that's part of who this piece is addressing. I just think that "don't negotiate" is the wrong framing, even if in some situations, it could possibly be the right move.

This is oversimplifying. Pipeline stalls aren't the same thing as "horrible memory patterns". Not all workloads can be optimized like that at all, some very legitimate workloads are inherently random access (think RAM caching and databases!) and we still want to run them on CPUs tuned for wide issue of in-register instructions.

And when your very legitimate workload does stall, inevitably, it's nice if the CPU has another thread able to issue while it waits. In fact hyperthreading benefits almost all but the most heavily tuned workloads. Pretty much everyone stalls on a routine enough basis to make it worthwhile.

Now, in the post-spectre world where you need to spend transistors on firewalling/tagging to prevent information leaks, maybe it's not as big a benefit. But it's mischaracterizing history to claim that it was never worthwhile.
