>> unless you think Tupac was literally calling out hits on Chino XL, was not intended to be a true threat at the time, and certainly couldn't reasonably be taken as one today.

Huh?

There were whole articles written about the song and the context of the time in which it was written. Tupac lived a notoriously violent life and saw himself as a legit street gangster despite the actual reality of the opposite.

From 2017:

That opening line—that egregious, confrontational, hate-filled opening line—was one of the most unforgettable utterances ever committed to wax by the late Tupac Shakur. It’s been 20 years since the release of 2Pac’s scathingly brutal diss track “Hit ’Em Up,” a song that came to embody the venom behind the Death Row/Bad Boy beef of the mid-’90s and an easy reference for the antagonistic figure many saw 2Pac as in his final months on this earth.

There was a palpable sense of dread hanging over hip-hop in mid-’96.

The final paragraph of the article sums it up:

In the wake of Shakur’s murder, “Hit ’Em Up” would become a chilling epitaph for a feud that seemed to spiral out of control—even more so after the Notorious B.I.G. met a similar fate in March 1997. Taken on its own merit, it’s one of the greatest diss records in hip-hop history; but attached to the moment, it was a lot more than that. Something more volatile. Something more dangerous.

I don’t care here for long term storage but let it us pick up?

As far as I know flash memory should last at least ten years. After that period of time I would either copy the data, erase and write again or look for other tech. So this requires manual intervention.

Which other?
Magnetic tapes are often used for this purpose. Microfilms shall be much better. Paper is really resilient.

I would avoid any cloud, Google has a bad track record. The online access and requirements make it unreliable. In best case the don’t try to search the data or delete it by accident. As they did already.

As far as I know CDs last only ten years. DVDs maybe 30 years. I’ve it is a -ROM it last likely 100 years. But therefore you need special equipment. The M-Discs you mention are new for me but this sounds good. Are regular drives guaranteed to read it?

The most problematic thing isn’t just keeping the data. We also need to be able to read it again. Maybe we need to use good old stones ^^

Was the 10K number supposed to be scientific? I thought it was a rule of thumb kinda thing like 10k steps a day (which most people are not getting, as that is around 5 miles of walking).
It was a conspiracy theory in the beginning. The far-right is constantly spamming out conspiracy theories, boosting the ones that are plausible and memory-holing the ones that aren't: Sandy Hook crisis actors, Antifa Jan 6 rioters, a terrorist attack at the border†. The Covid as bioweapon angle didn't take, but the lab leak angle is plausible and has some circumstantial evidence, so now the right is saying "told ya so". But the media dismissed that theory initially for the same reason the villagers dismissed the boy who cried wolf.

It's not that simple. If you try too much, you may end up automating the wrong thing and getting yourself further from mastery.

It may take 10k hours, but if you rush it, it's possible you'll never get there.

For example, when training olympic weightlifting, if you fail your third attempt, you just stop or put less weight to ensure a successful lift, otherwise you risk fixing the wrong movement.

You cannot keep at it, you just get worse, rest is necessary at that point before you try again.

Show HN: LYML – a configuration format with the expressed goal of being readable
Hey, this is my brain-fart from about a year ago which was kindly dragged back into my brain through a groupchat. I now want to move this forward and would like some feedback.

Originally, this was conceived while looking for a config language for a different project. I wanted something "Open-BSD-y", type safe, and avoid the ini-hellhole that has one spec for every implementation. Thus, LYML (/ˈlʏ.məl/) was born. And soon forgotten again. (I blame the ADHD and my dog).

What I'm primarily looking for here are:

— peer-review (read: let others find bugs I don't see)
— people who may want to collaborate

Apple hasn't established any use case for the VP beyond watching a very limited selection of movies.

Anybody who can afford the VP for watching movies can afford the place and equipment to have a far superior movie-watching experience.

And as many reviews have noted: the VP has a worse FOV than the Quest 2 or 3, and the same blurriness and artifact issues that the Quest 3 has. The summary consensus is that the VP is the best VR headset on the market, but not 7x its next competitor.
Maybe, but if you had an app that allows you to define kitchen + appliances. You could eaily made a game/app that tells you what to do. Take stuff out off fridge, cut it up... ping your virtual pot needs stirring, go back to cutting, ping turn off the oven... and so on.

I am using the definition which comes from Adam Smith and is generally accepted in classical economics. A free market is a market which approaches a state of perfect competition, if a monopoly exists within a market, it is by definition not a free market. To my knowledge there is no other generally accepted definition used by economists. I guess Republican politicians may use it differently, or something, but politicians are liars, practically everything politicians say is misinformation to some degree.

Smith agreed with you that some free markets may naturally tend toward monopolization, how they are regulated is definitely one factor but it's a complex subject. Either way I can't imagine any definition of 'free market' which would apply to Boeing's primary markets in 2024, they are not free of regulation, they don't approach perfect competition, they are definitely un-free.
Anecdotally, there’s a great episode of the journal[1] that does not lend too much credence to the idea that the reverse migration movement is anything but a temporary stay away from home.

I would argue that Garry's motivation and intent is extremely relevant to this topic of conversation; possibly the most relevant thing. The article omitting this is absolutely scummy, because it fills that omission with connections to antisemetism, and then goes on to speak on how "powerful people need to be held accountable" (absolutely true).

Yes, "for you" and clearly, for me, I did not draw the conclusion that Garry's motivations were antisemetic. That's not the point. Journalists publish articles for an extremely broad audience, and there's a high degree of responsibility and ethics required of the author while publishing; a degree that, to be clear, I do not feel this author met.

I've had shops do all of the following (not at the same time but each has happened before I stopped letting them change my oil):

- fill with the wrong weight oil
- not change the filter
- not tighten the new filter adequately, resulting in leaks
- install a very low quality "no-name" filter
- overfill the oil
- overtighten/strip threads on the drain plug.
- leave tools under the hood.

And that's just oil changes, one of the simplest things a shop can do. Maybe it's because they put their least skilled people on it, but it doesn't incline me to trust them for anything else.
Perhaps some of those people aren't quite as talented as they would like to think they are?

I'm not sure how that creates an obligation in the, uhh, 'non-wealthy', that they just don't appreciate art and should be paying those people more by paying more for media.

There's plenty of room in Hollywood budgets to make a movie that doesn't require the leads to make $30M each while underpaying extras. I think you're railing at the wrong "enemy".
Why the double standard? Why should or shouldn't it be couth for someone to talk about their political positions? Everyone is a human, and you don't get anything done in politics unless there is mass action, which means we must have conversations, public AND private, about politics.

I'm sorry, if you are like "I'm glad they gave me the money and the label" and can't take it when someone associated makes an embarassing human moment, you are just trying to have your cake and eat it too. Do better.
There's a difference between what type of consequences we're talking about.

Just to add some nuance here, Tan's comments weren't a death threat in the legal sense (or at least don't constitue a crime). It is perfectly legal (if inadvisable) to say something along the lines of "Politician X should die a slow painful death." It only becomes a crime if it is a highly specific threat. E.g. "I am going to shoot Politician X on Tuesday evening after they leave City Hall."

> I, personally, can make a judgement about both of things better with a patch that I apply locally than with a PR.

`gh pr checkout NNN` works very well to give a local copy for review, by pulling and checking out the PR branch. There are equivalent commands for gitlab.

Also:

> The main issue with PRs (in my opinion) is that they limit severely the context in which the changes are viewed. If I want to properly review a piece of code I have to check it out and follow the diff in its proper context (either while debugging) or even while just reading it.

Both PRs and emailed patches encourage reading and reviewing just the patch. With emailed patches, you need to prepare a local branch with the patches applied if you want to do the kind of review you describe; with a PR, you need to fetch and checkout the PR branch. I would argue that checking out the latter is substantially easier than the former, especially given the availability of command-line tools like `gh pr checkout`.

I wonder how much that changes the final probability. I think the biggest piece is instead of both able to detect each other only one will (the other will probably be dead by the time the information gets back the other way) which halves the chances of detecting another civilization. Beyond that, given sufficiently short civilization lifespans vs the age of the universe they can randomly appear in and a relatively uniform rate of random occurrence, I don't think "a random civilization appeared x years ago x light years away for the timing to work out" actually ends up being any less likely than "a random civilization appeared at the same time". It feels like it should but really if you just take the chance it'd happen normally and say "well, there is an equal chance a civilization could have developed x years prior" you correct for the time for traversing the distance without changing the probability.

The main thing the speed of light prevents is a single civilization staying together as a galaxy sized empire.

In most cases there is no cost at all of the untalented, employers make profits on their work as well. Just look at salaries compared to profits.

If a talented worker makes her company a profit of 10 million dollars just because of her work, she'll be lucky to get 100 000 dollars out of that. So there's plenty of money left for paying the untalented. And they are sure to also get less than they deserve.

These look pretty useful cool...

I'm curious a bit though, here, and in other posts in HN, I often see that HMAC, a symmetric key is preferred, going as far as suggesting, in JWT, that other algorithms should not be implemented. Why is that? What are the problems with say RSA? (Ignorning that I'm not sure Asymmetric keys work with Macaroons design at all)

From my perspective, Asymmetric keys have been a great boon, in that I can keep the private key, secured on my single auth server, but then freely distribute the public key to the edge, greatly increasing responsiveness, and reducing the bottleneck on the Auth server.

Is there some security concern I've been missing?
