There are different people on HN with differing views.

I, for one, would never claim that "prisons don't work, don't deter crime, don't rehabilitate" without any qualifiers. Maybe some specific systems have some problems, but that's a very different thing than "prisons" as a concept.

America has weird leadership fetishes. Captains are supposed to go down with the ship but in times of crisis the President abandons us all to run away on his.
Piecemeal response, but endpoint managers are really there to ensure:

1) That the device is compliant with whatever security standards (AV is running, no weird user accounts that are admins etc;)

2) That if the machine is lost || fails to check in: it is wiped.

3) That if security standards change; those changes can be rolled out.

4) That activity on the device is somewhat logged, not to great extent but: Login Events (and what factor was used), if Admin elevation was called; if a strange executable was executed. etc; These logs are only useful in certain circumstances and I've never seen anyone actually use them outside of arbitration.

Honestly, yours sounds more like a religious claim that the other.

It seems less a religious claim to assert that the human brain is mechanistic, and simply operates using physics to perform complex operations than to assert that there is something “unknowable”, or “outside of physics” that would prevent us from being able to build a similar machine.

If there were 0 examples in the universe, I think your point would be a good one. But, given there is 1 example, I think it stands to reason that there could be more.

I could accept an argument that one might expect it to be hideously complicated, and not something we’ll be able to accomplish for a long time.

But the claim that there’s an information theoretic reason that would absolutely prevent it, would seem to make the claim that there is something metaphysical about the operation of the brain, which seems like a quasi religious claim to me.
Lithium isn't found as a pure element, if that's what you mean. It's part of minerals bound up into stable molecules. So it won't blow up.

It's very hard to find anything volatile in nature, pretty much by definition. Exceptions are things that are continually generated, eg you can find reactive oxygen in nature because plants keep making more. That or things that are only volatile once you purify or transform them in some way.

Some quick options come to mind:

- unjust distribution of the cameras themselves

- camera data is used for selective enforcement (alert a nearby office when minorities are driving through white neighborhoods)

Same "advice" can be given to fatties too. Your health and your problem. I put advice in quotes because it doesn't work and isn't that easy in practice.
Yeah I too wondered why the author would target 60Hz at all. The fact that the SNES controller is polled at 60Hz is simply a consequence of the game reading the input at that rate. As mentioned in the other comment in this setup the polling of the controller is not in sync with the game reading the input at all. Thus even if you target a polling rate of 60Hz perfectly you'd actually have worse input latency than the original hardware.

It would be much better to target 120Hz or higher to reduce input latency and bring it as close to the original hardware as possible by ensuring there is always an up-to-date input state ready for the game to read.

While that's true, there are multi-billion dollar industries built around exploiting financial ignorance. Payday loan companies and gambling are top of mind for me here. Who are we really bailing out, the financially unhealthy or the corporate parasites?
You think that incompetence is evenly deployed no matter what the race of the accused?
Taken to a logical extreme, it might mean all that. That discussion is interesting philosophically (I mean that sincerely), but in this case I'm just speaking practically, and in that context it's easy to see the solutions IMHO.

In all fairness, NASA provides oversight for the Commercial Crew Program. This is better than the previous arrangements because there is incentive for companies to perform the contracted work on behalf of NASA rather than NASA taking on all the risk.

The rate at which the temperature is changing is probably at historic highs, but both the current temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations are close to historic lows.

See [1], that xkcd is picking a really biased starting point by using the last ice age as a baseline. Ice ages themselves being extreme abnormalities from the general historic trend.

I guess you missed out on the notion of "fun." Thoughts and prayers.
Unlikely. It’s too recent for Wayback machine to cache.

Their post was ostensibly the same but much more vaguely worded. And if you say “virtualisation is about being as close to the hardware as possible” without much more detail to someone else who talks about wanted to run a VM with a different guest CPU, then it’s understandable that people will assume the reply is mixing up virtualisation with containerisation since there’s nothing in virtualisation that says you cannot emulate hardware in the guest. Whereas containerisation is very much intended to run natively on the hardware
Isn't having a private entity be able to do what previously required a nation a good sign for that nation? The idea that the USA cannot re-obtain that capability again seems silly to me and there are a lot of pros for having private companies pushing the state of art forward.
And yet we can use mathematics to know that that limit exists. It’s a powerful thing, mathematics.

Gödel doesn’t say ‘mathematics cannot contemplate itself’. Quite the opposite.
Taking all legal free money is wise, or even just non-idiotic?
Oh, just to be clear, I have no problems with models built on OSINT. My problem is someone doing that, building a commercial product on it, and then telling others they can't do it to them, while also using the money they get from the endeavor to make the world worse for everyone else.

I think one of the biggest barriers is that the human brain isn't running on binary code, and attempting to replicate it on our current technology model is doomed to encounter emulation issues.
You have a similar background to me; though I used Zones on Solaris before Jails on FreeBSD.

But wasn't it through experimentation that we developed that understanding? And in the earliest phases of that experimentation, that's when our understanding was at its weakest, right? You almost seem to be implying that we had the understanding before ever attempting the experiments.
To my understanding Rent to Own was around significantly earlier than the popular usage of credit cards:

"Development of the Rent-to-Own Concept: 1950s

The roots of the rent-to-own business reach back to the 1950s when a number of people pioneered the concept. For instance, Charles Loudermilk, Sr., founder of Atlanta-based Aaron Rents, started out in 1955 by renting Army surplus chairs for ten cents a day. The founder of Rent-A-Center was J. Ernest Talley, widely acknowledged as the most influential figure in the development of the industry.

In the 1950s he ran a retail appliance store with a cousin in Kansas. Because tightening bank credit prevented a number of customers from buying his merchandise, he hit on the idea of renting the items. If customers failed to meet the payments, he could always repossess the merchandise; if they reached the end of the rental agreement, they would own the merchandise and Talley would have made some extra cash in addition to increasing the sales volume of his appliance store.

In 1963 he developed a rent-to-own chain called Mr. T’s, which by 1974 had grown to 14 stores. He sold the business, which became part of the Remco chain, and he turned his attention to commercial real estate in the Dallas area.

When the Texas real estate market suffered a crash he returned to the rent-to-own concept in 1987, establishing Talley Leasing with his son Michael. The new company rented appliances to apartment complex owners."

Do you want to have a meaningful dialogue, or do you just want to keep everyone guessing?
I am so confused about how this topic is discussed. I think it's completely backwards.

If I was a nationalist in any country with roughly the demographic shape of Germany (so, most of the wealthy ones), I would regard open immigration as the highest possible leverage move, to the point, where I (not, in fact, being a nationalist) actually feel bad about the devastating effects this is ultimately going to have a few years down the line for the countries these people are leaving behind.

Bar an AI miracle, everyone is going to need bodies, and the bodies they are going to produce, to avoid societal breakdown. By current looks, it is potentially the scarcest resource of the future.

I understand that immigration of unskilled people is a little off from the "skilled immigration" pipe dream and less convenient, but are people really that confused about the slightly longer term and exponentially scarier cost of no immigration?

These countries have a system that, while not perfect, is the most excellent at creating skilled enough humans. Letting anyone willing and able to produce a child in the country, that you can then pump through that system, is the absolute cheapest and most realistic way you are ever going to get the amount of bodies you are going to need to avoid a total demographic disaster.
Fwiw, when I've forgotten to cancel something, I've had success saying something like "I was checking my credit card statement and was surprised I'm still paying for X. I haven't used it at all since Y date. Would it be possible to have a refund, perhaps partial, since then, for $xx?". Basically I make it easy for them to say yes.

"AI is impossible" is a tough argument, given the existence of non-A I.

"Machine learning isn't the route to AI" is something you could more reasonably argue, but that's a drastically narrower claim.
Isn't that horrible UI-wise? The UI will ask for password and show '******'. The user then has to remove the last 6 stars and put in the OTP.

A dedicated question for the OTP would be much better. Also, the password manager would know to not save the password+OTP every time as a new password.
> has nothing to do with “late stage capitalism”

Couldn't agree more, and the ironic thing about this phrase is that it's really more reminiscent of the pre-depression era of robber barons, price fixing, no workers rights, Panic of 18XX where companies really got too powerful and ran wild because there wasn't enough regulation yet
Of course in any population there will be a long tail of people who are bad at finances, for example leasing cars they can’t afford or using buy now pay later plans for clothes they don’t need.

That's not what this is about though. In those situations, the person is consciously choosing a bad option. However this is materially different, because with auto-pay people are being charged without their knowledge. The first situation involves making a bad choice, but this is being unaware of a bad thing, which companies are exploiting.
Asking a similar vein, really sick of all the cloud first networking great. Like Access Points especially.

I don't mind a cloud option, but prefer self hosted first. I'm particular something that's already or otherwise ready to containerize.
Subscriptions should have a time based expiry option. It's trivial to implement from a technology standpoint and not providing that option is an anti-consumer tactic. The fact that all businesses are so anti-consumer is a testament to the dystopian times we live in. Technology is being used to actively harm us.
Not impossible: you could get the application specific password and then start using it on other sites.

That would be foolish, but users do all sorts of foolish things.

Germany just keeps getting better, check the data.

People who say life here is getting worse or that it will collapse are either dumb or Nazis.

Whether AFD wants or not, immigrants will continue coming to Germany and will eventually be a majority.

"Native" Germans mostly want to experience life and go to Mallorca, not fulfill silly reproduction goals for an antiquated belief that it's a duty.

Germany will become a really European and diverse country in a few decades and this is awesome. Deal with it.
Running Jolla AppSupport/aliendalvik on regular Linux distros
This is a very common misconception. Production is all that matters and existence is completely irrelevant independently. Production factors in existence and future expected existence. For example if any oil rich nation thinks oil going to run out they will hoard it for future so they can make money.

But some get pedantic and ask "But isnt number of Oil molecules in earth finite?"

Such pedantism can be easily blowm away by responding with pedantism. Oil molecules on "earth" might be finite but in universe they are infinite. Even if the molecules are finite atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen are vastly infinite in universe. We already know how to merge these atoms to form hydrocarbons.

These arguments then get into the saner territory of "but isnt it too expensive to bring water from Jupiter and turn it into Oil on moon and then ship it to earth?", yes it is compared to fracking but fracking was considered too expensive compared to drilling which was considered too expensive compared to using mined coal etc.

Ignore existence and focus on "production". As far as production is concerned we are not going to run out of oil ever. Unless we stop "needing" it.

Are there any niches for super high speed chips that it isn't possible to fill with silicon based chips? Would there ever be a niche for a small company making handfuls of them, or would it only be feasible at scale?
The reason it seems far fetched is we have one example of a mechanistic, physics based machine that we know can perform the computations necessary to produce intelligence.

I could understand the hypothesis that AGI is not computable, if we didn’t have an existing example of a machine that can produce AGI.

Since we do have an existing machine that can produce AGI, we would have to suppose it does something:

- outside of physics to achieve its results

- performs some operation that is impossible for us to understand or replicate

Both of those seem… unlikely to me.
I've got to give it to Bezos on how Amazon could maintain its culture, or at least could slow down the dilution of its culture for the past 30 years. I feel that the 14 leadership principles offer a more balanced and actionable framework than Google's "do no evil", which unfortunately also gives a small number of activists room to do evil. An interesting observation is that Amazon used to promote slowly. A new grad would join Amazon as L4, and took more than 10 years or more to get promoted to L6. Making L6 used to be a big deal. L7 engineers were like demigods. In the early years, Amazon got most of its L7 through internal promotion, and gave them enormous power at the institutional level. Those old-timer L7s didn't give a shit about political pressures from their peer managers, so they held a really high bar on promotion. Interestingly, Amazon engineers were pretty cool with the promotion process, probably because the promotion anxiety came from comparing with one's coworkers. I heard the culture dilution accelerated in the past few years because, no surprise, Amazon hired and promoted faster. Many L7s were hired externally and could easily succumb to the pressure from peer managers. Going to the next level in three years or less has become a thing. The L8 is the new L7, yada yada yada.
That's a lovely and idealistic view of humans.

Unfortunately bad actors have realized that what we actually are is just meat computers with unpatchable security vulnerabilities, so demanding that people just stop having problems and fit your nebulous definition of competence with unlimited and unwavering performance, has predictably not panned out.

What is the more moral solution then? Recognizing and placing systematic limits on exploitation behaviors, or is it continuing to demand super-vigilance from the victims?
These aren't speed cameras, they aren't for traffic enforcement. They're for tracking location and movement of vehicles. Nobody's going to get a ticket from these.

16 is a lot.

Uppercase + numbers + special characters will only give 1.3 more bits per character. 26 possibilities is 4.7 bits, so each additional lowercase letter adds enough entropy to make up for the alphabet size of 4.7/1.3=3.6 characters.

So roughly speaking, 16 lowercase letters has about the entropy of 12 characters with a larger alphabet. That seems ok to me; 12 characters is pretty decent. Certainly not laughable.

With an alphabet of 64 possible characters, you have 12lg(64)=72 bits for 12 random characters.

With an alphabet of 26 possible characters, you have 16lg(26)=75 bits for 16 random characters.

And the "random" part that allows the lg(possibilities) calculation is enabled by not allowing you to set the passwords yourself.

Of course, 75 bits only gives you about 100 billion users × apps before you start hitting birthdays—er, collisions—so hopefully they're not using the passwords as unique keys anywhere! (But why would they?)
