I've heard the name Phrack before but never really sought it out. I've sometimes unknowingly read it such as [1] "Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit" by Aleph1. In any case, I'm quite naieve about the whole culture surrounding it.

My question: how come that Phrack takes a few years to publish nowadays? Looking back at it, it published much more frequently.

URL shorteners still benefit QR codes, if you can’t control the length of the URL or want to abuse the QR code by putting some logo in the middle.
A return and an annulled sale are still credits and debits, respectively, when it comes to the mechanical sum being performed. The specific category of the action is higher-level information that doesn't need to appear at this level of the model.
How does the legal definition of firing compare to the legal definition of canceling a contract? I would imagine that the outcome depends on exactly what was specified in the contract itself. While I might feel sympathy for the former employees of Google, without knowing the exact conditions under which they were employed at (not by) Google, I can only sympathize and not much else.
Assuming that this is yet another DevOps tech I'll be expected to be an expert in, I looked up Istio [0]:

As organizations accelerate their moves to the cloud, they are, by necessity, modernizing their applications as well. But shifting from monolithic legacy apps to cloud-native ones can raise challenges for DevOps teams.

Developers must learn to assemble apps using loosely coupled microservices to ensure portability in the cloud.

This just isn't true. You don't need microservices to use the Cloud.

My point is regarding writes specifically. A HDD can typically survive longer than a SSD if they were both to receive the same amount of writes over time.

SSDs use flash memory cells, which have a limited amount of writes you can do to them before they start to fail. Compared to magnetic disks in HDDs that don't have a finite lifetime of writes.

If you are mostly reading data, then no worries, probably won't affect you. But NASs typically gets a lot of writes, so you want something more durable than SSDs (in terms of writes).
Truth exists by a simple proof by contradiction.

* truth does not exist

* If truth does not exist, anything and everything is false

* If everything is false, so is the statement "truth does not exist"

* Therefore truth must exist

We're also talking about two questions: does objective reality exist? and can it be accurately communicated (at least up to a certain standard) with human language? I think the first question is not that interesting in most cases, since it devolves into untestable speculation. The second question has gained prominence thanks to postmodernism and can be discussed at length, although ultimately because it aims to deconstruct meaning, it suffers from the same type of contradiction mentioned above... if nothing has meaning, neither does the theory that points that out.

That said, neither of these should be relevant in the advent of generative AI and AGI. The fact some tools will produce content that is indistinguishable from reality has no impact on objective reality and whether or not we can capture true statements with language. Not only that, but I think AGI will probably need to grapple with the same problem. I can imagine a super intelligent machine making some advancements in this area, and I suspect it will also hit a wall and realize the limits of its own perceptions.
Russians are using a layered infantry approach in Ukraine.

The first tier is for a so called "meat attack". You don't need no training for this, nor are you expected to survive. They preferably use prisoners/foreigneres/migrants/non-ethnic russians for these echelons.
> It doesn't mean the opposite, though.

It does in my English though, and it really really grates when I hear it. Just because a minority of people have started abusing the language doesn't mean I have to go along with it.

> compound words

Compound words like "afternoon" where the two words themselves make sense together? "couldcare" might be a compound word, but "could care" isn't. Plus, if I start to say "after noon" to mean "mid morning" then get pissed off when people call me out on my language butchery then perhaps my minority take and desire to impose it on the rest of the world would make me the person in the wrong.

Those pesky details like cache line misses and inter node latencies should just go away. I am far too important to know about such realities. Why should I care about cores or processor architecture, I should just be able to write my code and something should figure out the details.

If you agree with the above statement, please go into management.
So compensation is high but if you look at profits of the companies many workers actually aren't capturing much of the value they are generating. So yeah the people unionizing are getting paid like 200+ thousand a year but when corporate profits are 400+ thousand a year per person there's a good argument that they should be making more.

Also this is assuming that the only point of unionization is pay and that's just not true. My experience is that pro-union people have a variety of things. One example is that I once worked at a place where they initially denied an exception to return to office rules to someone who had an immunocompromised family member. A union allows workers to collectively put their foot down on policies that are unacceptable. Honestly tech workers are often paid well but very stressed out.

This is an aside but overall I've found the anti-union sentiment in tech to be weird in that they view standing up to management as some sort of weakness. To me the real cowards are the people who will watch an asshole in a 200 million dollar house dictate policies without ever even considering fighting back. I don't get how people have made continuously rolling over in front of management a virtue, it's just silly.

Edit: to be fair maybe the anti-union people have never had management do stupid or unfair policies and maybe they haven't seen their company laying people off while announcing tens of billions in stock buy backs but too many people in this industry have and it doesn't make them a "snowflake" to want to fight.
To add, the set of observable mutations (beneficial or not) that occur as a result of a single point mutation is in all likelihood an extremely tiny subset of the set of all observable mutations - even after “deduping” for the observed effect.

Wikipedia: `Rebecca Smethurst, also known as Dr. Becky, is a British astrophysicist, author, and YouTuber who is a junior research fellow at the University of Oxford. She was the recipient of the 2020 Caroline Herschel Prize Lectureship, awarded by the Royal Astronomical Society, as well as the 2020 Mary Somerville Medal and Prize, awarded by the Institute of Physics. In 2022, she won the Royal Astronomical Society's Winton Award "for research by a post-doctoral fellow in Astronomy whose career has shown the most promising development".`
She has a PhD in astrophysics, with her academic work centered around the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. As far as I can tell, she's still an active researcher, even though she clearly spends a lot of her time on her Youtube channel.

It's better than the OP article, which ignores the counterarguments against MOND.

* Can I annotate places I've been?

* Is info automatically shared between my devices?

The blurb says "keeping GPS open can dramatically shorten battery life". Does that mean this app will do that?

The analogy is a teensy bit strained but you are substantively correct.
Okay, so it's about two photons hitting the same molecule in quick succession.

Why don't we see continuous infrared light, then? Surely light without pauses has way more ability to send two photons one after another than light with pauses.
Ask HN: Can you advise about IANA.org, IETF.org, ABNF, and a new media type?

Germany Probes Military Security Leak After Russian Wiretapping
They were founded on the premise that some large player (specifically Google) would develop AGI, keep it closed, and maybe not develop it in the best interests (safety) of the public. The founding charter was essentially to try to ensure that AI was developed safely, which at the time they believed would be best done by making it open source and available to everyone (this was anyways contentious from day 1 - a bit like saying the best defense against bio-hackers is to open source the DNA for Ebola).

What goes unsaid, perhaps, is that back then (before the transformer had even been invented, before AlphaGo, what people might have imagined AGI to look like (some kind of sterile super-intelligence) was very different from the LLM-based "AGI" that eventually emerged.

So, what changed, what was the fresh information that warranted a change of opinion that open source was not the safest approach?

I'd say a few things.

1) As it turned out, OpenAI themselves were the first to develop a fledgling AGI, so they were not in the role they envisaged of open sourcing something to counteract an evil closed source competitor.

2) The LLM-based form of AGI that OpenAI developed was really not what anyone imagined it would be. The danger of what OpenAI developed, so far, isn't some doomsday "AI takes over the world" scenario, but rather that it's inherently a super-toxic chatbot (did you see OpenAI's examples of how it was before RLHF ?!) that is potentially disruptive and negative to society because of what it is rather than because of it's intelligence. The danger (and remedy) is not, so far, what OpenAI originally thought it would be.

3) OpenAI have been quite open about this in the past: Musk leaving, being their major source of funds, forced OpenAI to make changes in how they were funded. At the same time as this was happening (around GPT 2.0), it was becoming evident how extraordinarily expensive this unanticipated path to AGI was going to be to continue developing (Altman has indicated a cost of $100M+ to train GPT-3 - maybe including hardware). They were no longer looking for a benefactor like Musk willing/able to donate a few $10's of millions, but needed a partner able to put billions into the effort, which necessitated an investor expecting a return on investment, and hence the corporate structure change to accommodate that.

Whether or not they're right in their answer, it's interesting to me that this debate is a modern repeat of the discussion about the oddities of Mercury's orbit that some attempted to explain with a hypothetical planet Vulcan [0]. One of the early evidences for Einstein's general relativity was that it accounted for those oddities with only the planetary bodies that had already been observed.

Yeah, maybe it's not perfect, nor am I saying there aren't exceptions.

I guess a good example is Bloomberg Terminal vs whatever investments interface your bank gives you.

The latter typically follows the modern design standards of lots of spacing everywhere, using easier to understand terminology and such, while the Bloomberg Terminal is almost straight opposite, cram as much information in as possible, everything available via keyboard shortcuts, industry terms everywhere, favoring quick action and assuming the user mostly knows what they're doing.

Both products are built with two different users in mind. I guess the point I was trying to make in the parent comment is that trouble comes when you don't explicitly aim for one of them.

Also, clutter/high-density UI isn't the only distinction between the two extremes, also the amount of power the user gets, how many safety features there are, how easy things can be found, how things are explained and more, is also impacted by this.

> Tobacco and alcohol are more harmful than LSD, GSB or ecstasy

Tobacco and alcohol are statistically probably more harmful than nuclear weaponry. They are more harmfull because they are legal. If people took ecstasy in the same quantities as tobacco and alcohol, then the picture would be different.

> I've never taken LSD, but there are exactly zero accounts that characterise it as "neither fun nor novel."

That example is not quite adequate. Acidheads are minority among drug users, and good trips cannot justify the legalization of hard drugs. Not to mention the bad trips. Or the mental disorders caused by LSD.

> Amphetamines, opiates and tropane alkaloids have legitimate medical uses. And there are cultures with a long history of responsibly using them. I don't agree with OP in being overly permissive with their distribution; many people can't handle them, and until we can predict which people can't handle which drugs recreationally, due to neurochemistry or personality issues, I'm against broad legalisation.

The automatic weaponry also have some legitimate uses, that does not mean everyone should own one. Yes, some cultures used some drugs responsibly. That drugs were treated as sacred plants and were not readily available to everyone. No, contemporary Western culture is not a responsible one. On the contrary. Most of society are shallow overly-hedonistic entitled simpletons, fighting among themselves like rats in a cage. If you give them free drugs you will just dig them deeper and worsen the situation. Too many dopamine burners around anyway.

The book in question is just one opinion amongst many. Interesting, perhaps. Decisive, no. Yes, there are exceptions. Yes, plenty of fine (and some less fine) people have used drugs. No, that does not mean it should be legal. At least not when hard drugs are considered.
Relevance to HN is debatable. The spirit of the guidelines is that typical "front page news" is generally off topic unless there's evidence for a new phenomenon.

This was true even into the Game Boy Advance era (so the early 2000s). Have a look at how the box art for Mario Kart: Super Circuit compares to the actual graphics.

Admittedly, there was a general assumption that the box art (or even trailers) need not reflect the gameplay at all (and it was still a time when sufficiently high resolution graphics would be assumed to not be part of the actual game since it would be impossible), so there wasn't exactly much deception going on. But it could certainly still be disappointing if you're a child who doesn't quite know that. It's worth mentioning as well that the back of the box usually had some screengrabs to give an idea.
Whether or not you intended it, this reads as a bad faith response: you’re claiming those are “the same group of people” as if we haven’t had more than a decade of commentary about the difference between the best paid FAANG employees and contractors working at the same place, or even awareness that those companies hire more than one role. For example, during the recent thread about Google closing a daycare there were many people saying only the executives could afford that and even fairly highly-ranked SREs struggled.

A far more likely explanation is that your memory is grouping everyone who works at a FAANG in the same bucket rather than recognizing that there are multiple groups and the people who are doing well brag while the ones who aren’t complain.
Oh. My. God.

There's nothing wrong with MDF for certain applications. You just have to recognize the tradeoffs and how they affect the piece. Anyhow, to answer your question, there are different grades and qualities of MDF. If you go to a local plywood supplier, you'll find they tend to source higher-quality MDF than you'll get at a home improvement store like Home Depot. The same goes for plywood and even the small selection of hardwoods home improvement stores carry. If you can find a wholesaler who doesn't have minimum order sizes, it can even be less expensive. Just don't expect them to break the sheets down to fit in a car.

High quality MDF tends to be denser, has a more consistent surface quality, and the composition of the wood fibers tends to be finer and more consistently distributed throughout the board. You'll get finer quality cuts (though 99% of the time, you'll want to edge band the MDF anyhow), for example. That said, you don't really go and get a stock list ordered by MDF density (beyond normal and lightweight MDF, anyhow). It's more just a characteristic of the better quality MDF, with relatively minor density differences between brands/product lines.

The bigger benefit is that they're much more likely to stock certified low and no-added-formaldehyde MDF, which make a big difference in formaldehyde off-gassing. Some people are more sensitive to it than others, and the last thing you want is for a beautifully veneered furniture piece to have to be returned because it's irritating the hell out of someone's eyes and nose.

I’d also add things like ageism to the mix. It’s not hard to find people who thought this was great when they were 25 but now a couple decades later are noticing that it kind of sucks when they have family responsibilities and also the people their age or older are increasingly laid off or pushed to leave.

My brain is struggling to comprehend the structure of the title sentence. Subject verb object verb object? I don't get it. It's as confusing as that "a door is a door is a door" thing where people say something is itself and everyone acts like they know what that's supposed to mean.

Here's a sentence with an equivalent structure: "Chefs are going to feed me eat gravy". Or how about "My bike will go fast has wheels".

I thought maybe it was just broken English, but the article is very well-written. The title must have been on purpose, especially because they mention the title in explicit detail at the top of the article, but they only change "CoreDNS" to "CoreDNS default settings", mentioning nothing about the 2 extra words hanging at the end of the sentence.

Which one of these is correct?:

- CoreDNS is going to fail you, scale your K8s!

- CoreDNS is going to fail, you scale your K8s before it's too late!

- CoreDNS is going to fail you if you scale your K8s

- CoreDNS is going to cause you to be unable to scale your K8s

- CoreDNS is going to fail, you damn scale K8s

Is "scale K8s" an insult if you call someone that?

Filen is perhaps cheaper because they are storing lesser replicas. It is not financially feasible to provide 3 replicas at their price points, unless they're running their own storage infrastructure, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Now Ente could of course choose to keep lesser replicas and offer "lite" plans that are more affordable. But we would rather not complicate our pricing structure right now. Understanding buckets of GBs is hard enough, and adding tiers on top would worsen the experience for most.

All of that said, Filen does seem like a really cool project for storing files.
