Sure! In order to set a bit of context...

First watch the 2022 cinematic [0], to get an idea of what they normally ship. Then watch the 2023 cinematic [1], to see how badly they messed up. And just to drive the point home, compare it with the 2024 cinematic [2] which is a return to form.

If you look at the 2023 cinematic in a vacuum it might seem generic and uninspired, but then when you compare it with the 2022 and 2024 cinematics the quality gap becomes apparent.

> As for the company denying the issue this means nothing.

It doesn't mean nothing - if the company themselves claim it's not an issue, then they're admitting he didn't hack anything and didn't expose them to any risk by revealing the vulnerability. Because according to the company themselves, it "means nothing", so he just took them at their word. They can't have it both ways, claim it was nothing to avoid liability themselves, while also claiming it caused them great harm and he should be prosecuted.

I will, perhaps, have a tiny bit of sympathy for the company, when attacks by companies on consumers via undisclosed spyware (they call it "telemetry") are treated in the same "raid the premises and confiscate everything" manner by the authorities.
You can also use base45 [1]:

-4J5BJ+%F$C881NIMV-IG2.C (base45, 132 bits in QR)
JWM9GFVXFN0RKDH4Z4KR3RV6A0 (base32, 143 bits in QR)
200924207194334734815443970355691218512 (decimal, 130 bits in QR)

It will make use of all allowed characters in the alphanumeric mode, while being significantly shorter than base32 and as dense as decimal. And decimal encoding in general needs bignum, because there is no suitable 10^k which is only slightly larger than powers of two so no convenient binary-to-decimal encoding exists (conversely, QR code itself does make use of the fact 2^10 is only slightly larger than 10^3 for this mode). Base45 always works on three-byte groups and maintains the similar efficiency in comparison.

Enlightenment is not something you have more or less of. :)

If you have experienced what people often refer to as enlightenment, you'll know the feeling fades. It's like trying to hold onto water. Knowing it is there can change the way you think about the world, sure, but chasing it is the ultimate ego trip. It's probably better to be open to it than to run around looking for it.

And I have to tell you, listening to Slayer on the second day of an acid binge in some dingy basement apartment while you try to figure out who you know that has some weed is not the same as hanging around in an alpine meadow with the cast of Hair. It's just not.

I never meant to devalue psychedelics, I was agreeing with the removal of that magical cache they seem to enjoy. For a lot of people they are simply affordable party drugs that let you drink your face off and have a good time for 8 hours or whatever. Their clinical use is very different and I love that it is being explored in a rigorous manner.

The psychedelic drugs themselves do not operate in a vacuum. They are neither good nor bad. I don't mean to devalue their therapeutic use but if anything they are a shortcut to give you a taste of what is possible with your existing hardware.

For an adult trying to lead a responsible life, regular meditation (or walking, playing an instrument, etc) is probably better than self-dosing after work on a Friday. For someone struggling with PTSD, I would imagine a dose in the right environment alleviates that burden in a way most other things cannot. Seeing that it is possible to not feel like you have been feeling could give you the motivation to try to hold on to that and find other ways to experience it. That's incredibly valuable.

A stateful firewall is prerequisite for NAT implementations commonly deployed in most office and consumer settings due to the session tracking requirement. So you just stop doing the NAT part and the firewall continues to deny untracked ingress connections just like it did when NAT was running.

Verizon’s current HQ (which is in Basking Ridge) used to be AT&T’s corporate HQ; as far as I’m aware, no significant Bell Labs work was ever done there, and Verizon has never had any legacy with Bell Labs.
There's a difference in type of thinking in moving from operations on numbers (basic whole number math) to operations-on-operations-on-numbers (anything with fractions).

Suddenly, you need to begin to understand the rules around operators, sequencing, and what operations are legal and illegal.

Absent that understanding, even...

1/4 x 2/5

... gets very complicated trying to reason with physical analogs.

So it's the point at which math becomes "pure" rather than strictly physically-mapped.
Thanks, I'll meditate on that and re read the paper with this view in mind.

The last sentence makes sense to me, if the finetuning job changes significatively more the weights of other layers than just the last one, it is kinda normal to to use Lora on them. I had the impression that it was rarely the case, but I must be mistaken. I'll think about applications where this is the case.
What router do you use that doesn't support IPv6?
For those that were wondering: Unlike in IPv4, IPv6 routers never fragment IPv6 packets. Packets exceeding the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the destination link are dropped and this condition is signaled by a Packet too big ICMPv6 message to the originating node, similarly to the IPv4 method when the Don't Fragment bit is set.
Uh no? Every functioning system we have on the planet is hierarchical. And each system has a different degree of effectiveness & success with some being more corrupt than others.

Feedback: you need to state very clearly, high up on the page WHY someone would want to use a non-managed solution vs SecretsManager or SSM Parameter Store.

Oh cool, I find cilantro to taste bad! Stevia less so, but I don't like it. Is Aspartame the same (I also find it to have an aftertaste)?
Anti-intellectualism is a very real thing in this country, and mostly found in ultra conservative circles. For example, it is VERY popular at certain rallies to believe that 1) Obama is still running the show behind the scenes as a communist, AND 2) Donald won in 2020, AND 3) Donald is the current sitting prez, AND 4) that the January 6th hilarity was both 4a) a psy-ops by the then Speaker AND 4b) those brave patriots that were involved are political prisoners.

These are ANDs, not ORs. They are often all believed at once.

Anti-intellectualism and a distaste for upper education in general because it "indoctrinates" is not fringe. Keep in mind no one in power of any political party actually believes ANY of that but it is one of the popular drum beats.

While I agree that there is lots of innovation and talent in the EU, I think there is also an "innovation gap" with other developed economies. Here's a take from the Economist [0] but you can find similar articles from the Financial Times, Blomberg, and other similar outlets.

We went ahead and implemented our own little queue in postgres based on that to get rid of a wonky thing we had that built on top of redis. What I like about this is that it's simple, robust, and transactional. So, you get some nice guarantees out of that.

For fairness, you might do stuff with partitioning on the priority column. Simply set up your workers to only hit a certain partition. So you have separate workers for higher and lower priority queue items. If you then dynamically lower the priority of tenants sending you lots of traffic, the system becomes more fair for the others. You could work with some simple moving average here. Just an idea, but something like this might work.
Wow, what a great post, thanks so much. I don't know a single thing about LoL but yeah, shipping what is essentially a single tracking shot through a pretty static environment vs the complex, choreographed scenes with characters fighting etc. Pretty big difference.
Hybrid triples your communication surface, but people typically only think it doubles the surface.

Hence why the communication sucks.
In theory, any impact from longer addresses would be outweighed by the benefit of the shorter non-CIDR routing table (and in turn that should be outweighed by avoiding NAT, and that should be outweighed by avoiding CGNAT). (Plus with most systems being natively 64-bit these days, that impact should be 0 - the routable part of an IPv6 address is 64 bits, and comparing a 64-bit value is no harder than comparing a 32-bit value).

In practice IPv6 is newer, which has good and bad sides; IPv6 routing paths are more likely to be using newer (and therefore faster) equipment, but there's also a bigger risk of someone making a mistake that messes up your routing/latency, particularly if your ISP hasn't been doing IPv6 for very long.

I don't think you can change the IMSI remotely, or at least, you're not supposed to be able to. Most US MVNOs use IMSIs assigned to the operating carrier, which makes it hard to switch the operating carrier. Some do use their own IMSI, which you could then conceivably change network agreements and use a different network, but with today's networks, your users might have phones band optimized for the old carrier, and not have good reception with the new one.

Okay, and does Tencent publish a P&L for Riot Games? Or are you assuming that if Tencent is profitable that means all of their subsidiaries are profitable? If you read the actual press release you’ll see Riot doubled headcount in the last few years. Highly doubtful their revenue growth kept up with their growing labor costs. Overhiring during the pandemic is a much more likely root cause for layoffs rather than management just trying to juice the profit margin in a market downturn.

I've had several HS friends go to Harvard. They all said the same thing - its for networking post graduation, the education itself is all smoke and mirrors.

My buddy said he had to take a botany class as a filler for some academic requirement for graduation. He said the entire class was to pick a tree out on campus and then describe how it changed over the course of the semester.

He maintained he had more rigorous classes in HS then he had at Harvard and said the progressive politics were so pervasive, that as long as you towed the ideological line, then you got favorable grades.

It would appear not much as changed since he was there in the early aughts.

> I really believe the primary reason is that Europe is not one culturally homogeneous area that speaks one language

There are likely several reasons at play, culture being a big one. However, there are other reasons at play such as differences in law, financing, immigration, the job market. Bert Huber, an entrepreneur in the EU has given this some thought:

https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/is-europe-just-not-good-at...
What’s the end state? Harvard eventually doesn’t even have to provide an education. It’s role is as a manufacturer of prestige. It selects N people a year, deems those people “elite,” and those people end up employed in elite investment banks and consulting companies because they were deemed elite by an institution with that power. Those elites then go on to recruit the next year worth of elites.

I mean, this already is happening in name brand education institutions. The value is all in the name and network of fellow elites, and the education itself is largely irrelevant. I’d name schools, but I bet a lot of HN readership got their first lucrative FAANG jobs based entirely on their attendance at one of these institutions…

I think something is "acceptable" when absolutely no one will lift a finger to change it. It's not just "just not objectionable enough": if this were the case, gyms wouldn't be hugely profitable, thriving businesses occupying lots of retail space.

There are some really insidious undertones of racism in this comment. Geography is a much bigger determinant of national economic well-being than whether or not they want to read about science. And blaming citizens for being born in autocratic countries and not immediately implementing a western democracy is also pretty gross.
The problem with the left having a stranglehold on culture, and especially academic culture, is that its sacred cows are left un molested to the point they forget they have any. Healthy at any size is a personal favorite because of how immediately obvious it is false to even the most causal of observers yet academics and doctors will line up to preach that ridiculous gospel. When people see those who have died from Covid while being clearly morbidly obese being described in the news media as perfectly healthy with no preexisting conditions - it does beg a few questions.
Before the European invasion, bison ranged from Maine to Florida and Texas to Alberta. We don't know their numbers. Before the invasion, forest cover was kept down across much of the continent by regular burns. After the pandemics were seeded, the burns ceased, and the massive uptake of carbon regrowing the forests caused what is often called a "little ice age". The new forest cover did not favor bison.

We don't know the historical range of Na-Dene or Lakota, or other modern nations; we know only where they were centuries after the aforementioned pandemics wiped out a large majority of all populations across two continents.

The current Pueblo habit of adobe dwellings is suited to their now-confined range. One may reasonably doubt those living in wetter climates used them.

> ethical pursuit of profits.

There’s the sticking point. Way too many unethical capitalists, and without strong enforcement mechanisms those bad actors simply concentrate market power and actually break the capitalist system you’re so ready to cream your jeans over.

Edit: also after having looked up that book, not sure if some Freudian level psychobabble making sweeping claims about human emotion and motivation is really that great of an argument for unrestrained capitalism.
Real-world latency is impacted by configuration and hardware (e.g. your ISP may have different routes for IPv6 that can be either better or worse, it can be handled by different routers with different performance, IPv4 traffic may be going through CGNAT, PPPoE concentrators, etc) that dwarf any theoretical differences.

Google's IPv6 stats also measure latency compared to IPv4 and in most countries IPv6 has lower latency (e.g. in the US on average you get 10ms lower latency with IPv6). When this chart was new it was mostly the other way around, with early IPv6 implementations being poor https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...

Billions of addresses might seem like a lot, but every IPv6 network has at least 2^64 addresses and it doesn't make much sense (to me) to give any customer less than one network.

(Maybe you meant billions of /64 blocks? ISPs could be providing a /32 ≈ 4 billion /64 blocks, though there still are 2 billion of those in the entire IPv6 space)
Oregon (kind of) dropped requirements for very basic reading, writing, and arithmetic to graduate high school because such skills were deemed racist.
