Woke/DEI ended up in a very exaggerated manner. I'm quite certain the swing back will do the same. Just human nature.
My question isnt related to radical but P2P in these sense in general, Why should I store someone else's data and why should someone else store my data? doesnt it make it easy to access?
Extra bonus points if the employees took an 83b election (paid tax on stock grant up front instead of when vested). Hopefully they all had options instead of stock.
Yes, but the holes were intentionally constructed such that the end result is predictable.

There is a difference between pretending to be the original raw data, and pretending to be whatever data will most likely fit.
I worked at a startup years ago that was all about clean printing (plus add space). Layout was a challenging technical problem in the late 2000s.

> this is a very VC-brained comment to make on a peer-to-peer open source project. let's instead ask if there are any single points of failure to the protocol and service, and if so, are those sustainable regarding developer time, effort, and compensation?

Crunchbase said they raised at least 12m as a “fully decentralized code repository”. I’d say presenting your open source project without saying it’s VC-backed is the only “VC-Brained” thing happening here.
> it is impossible to use a nuke without negatively affecting other people

Should I be allowed to own C4 explosives and machine guns? Because I can use C4 explosives in a way that doesn't harm other people by simply detonating it on my private property. I am confused about what the limiting principle is supposed to be here. Do we just allow people to have access to technology of arbitrary power as long as there exists >= 1 non-nefarious use-case of that power, and then hope for the best?

> There's also the question of wether you're challenbging the state's monopoly on violence (i.e., national security) which will never apply to AI.

This misses my point about offense vs defense asymmetry (although really it's Connor Leahy's point). I'm not saying that AGI+person can overtake a government. I'm saying that AGI+person may end up like machine gun+person in the set of nefarious asymmetric capabilities it enables.

So why not inform vendor, release a statement like "found something big" without details, get the marketing from it, and provide the details 30 days after patch is made available. That way it hurts users less.
And that is wrong why? Because at the same time, drivers have to be paid at least minimum wages in the countries they drive in.
I struggle to believe anyone actually hates such regulations, but to hate every single one of the thousands of regulations the EU government has passed over the last few decades suggests something somewhat deeper
The Crucial Layers of Bitcoin Security: A Tale of Hardware Wallets and Risks
Wasting what space? Sure, the gear selectors on a lot of cars are in the center console, and maybe I’d rather store something there. But I have never, in my entire history of driving cars, wanted to put anything right behind the steering wheel — first, it’s really awkward to get anything else there and second, any dangly thing there could tangle with the wheel, thus killing me.

So no, please keep the critical driving controls in fixed locations that are easy to access without looking away from the road or looking away. IMO that includes the horn, the turn signals, the wiper control, cruise control settings, and turn signals. And things I might want to adjust in a moderate hurry while driving should have fixed, tactile locations; climate control and sound volume are in this category.

My first car nailed all of this. Recent cars, not so much.
I suspect as much as well. If AI makes it easier to produce certain products, then advertisers will do their damndest to create demand for those products. And if AI makes production cheaper, safer, and faster, then planners will orient their constructions and designs around making use of those efficiencies. Similar to how the widespread adoption of the car changed our cities, so too will AI change what we build, AI's limitations and all.

I wouldn't be surprised if, at some point, we have a mental model of "things AI can build" and companies just assume that the majority of our solutions to problems will come from within that set. It doesn't even matter if those AI solutions don't fit the problems very well, as long as they're cheap. The smaller set of "things we still have to get humans to build" will cost more and therefore be de-emphasized and seen as a last resort. An equivalent might be producing features that introduce legal vulnerabilities. You can imagine lots of planners saying, "Can we do without that feature?"
> WAF based approach is an admission of ignorance and a position of weakness

Sure, but what about the benefits?

Let's say you've got an ecommerce website, and you find XSS.

Without a WAF that would be a critical problem, fixing the problem would be an urgent issue, and it'd probably be a sign you need to train your people better and perform thorough security code reviews. You'll have to have an 'incident wash-up' and you might even have to notify customers.

If you've got a WAF, though? It's not exploitable. Give yourself a pat on the back for having 'multiple layers of protection'. The problem is now 'technical debt' and you can chuck a ticket at the bottom of the backlog and delete it 6 months later while 'cleaning up the backlog'.

Well sure, but Prince Andrew conducting sexual abuse isn't currently in the realm of established fact. You and I have our strong suspicions, but he hasn't been convicted of anything and as far as I'm aware the evidence boils down to a few witness statements. The Tiananmen Square massacre is supported by photos, multiple eyewitness accounts from protestors and soldiers, foreign media reports, and even remorseful statements from government officials.

> if a young actress had accused him in 2010, for example, she would have been suppressed

She probably would have worsened her career prospects, which I agree is horrific. It's a testament of how the entertainment industry reinforces patriarchal norms. But it is a far cry from actual suppression. Personalities like David Icke have been lobbing accusations around about the Royal Family for years, publishing books and giving talks. As far as I'm aware he hasn't been imprisioned or censored in the UK for any of that. He's been banned from countries for denying the Holocaust and spreading COVID misinformation, but neither of these are cases of stating well-established facts.

Ah I see, I've not worked with any, however I do become curious about anything labeled as "Github alternative".

I know this movement since Github started with their "doubtful code scanning" that people are looking towards alternatives.

Not the least: good job!
The two-knob radio was a standard for a long time, and it looks like they're still made.
The AMD-based mini PCs like this that’ve been showing up recently are cool, but I’m guessing that they all get pretty hot and noisy when under load (similar to a compact laptop).

I think it’d make for a compelling product if one of these extended their vertical footprint a bit, making for a more cube-like shape and adding space for a 2-4x more heatsink and a big slow fan (maybe even a 200mm fan if making footprint slightly larger is permissible). It’d be a bit larger but cooler and much more quiet.
The sense that you're being asked, or coerced, to participate in realizing someone's shallow, misunderstood, but aggressively peddled reading of a dystopian social commentary fantasy scenario is very near to the heart of what makes tech bro culture so obnoxious for everyone else.
LearnXinYminutes says "Want to add your favorite language to the list? Head on over to Github[1] and send a pull request!" Right at the very bottom.

Yes, the throttle cable operates the opening of the throttle. Downstream of that is the airflow meter which is an input to the fuel injection computer so it knows how much air is going in.
The main problem with these projects - which was not much of an issue when the projects started - is that mobile phones of today seek access to web servers at vendors, including the OS source and possibly others such as the phone manufacturer and ISP. The phones balk if they don't connect to those servers. PirateBox and LibraryBox are not just captive portals to Internet connections, they are local content and app servers and don't need the Internet.

So when you connect to a Box via Wi-Fi your phone demands to connect to Internet hosts even though this is unnecessary for this use case. This behavior is confusing to the user. Some early solutions involved trying to spoof Apple servers for example, but the names and IPs of these servers kept changing and this kluge became ineffective.

The only solution I am aware of is to pre-inform users of a local IP address to browse to once their Wi-Fi is connected to the Box. But depending on the occasion and venue, getting such instructions to the audience and having them follow it, can be its own problem.
We have a newer Mazda, and I thought it had the same issue, but the mute button causes Carplay to pause the audio.
It’s a bad article trying to spin it. This is business as usual for vulnerability disclosure. The Reg is always sensationalizing things to get clicks. Just add any infosec research firm ever that has disclosed a vulnerability using coordinated disclosure to your list. Like say Google and their Project Zero. They follow very similar policies and if you stop communicating with their researchers they will just drop your bugs.
Maybe I'm missing something but Bitcoin is always on the public ledger; all that is needed to move it from one owner to another is a cryptographic key to assert you're the owner. So what does a "hardware walled" or "cold storage" actually offer?
> Netherlands

You cannot possible rate the Netherlands good on comfort. It's cattle class, even on 'long' (for Dutch standards) haul routes. They _just_ started to operate carriages with power sockets! I rode better trains in Poland 10 years ago than in NL.

I take el cheapo French TGV (Ouigo) over any Dutch rolling stock any day.
You make the same point very well.

In the threat model of the average European, corporations are actually seen as a higher risk. Maybe with less impact, but the risk is a lot higher. And they mistrust and complain about the state too, a ton, just a lot less.

Most Europeans don't think the state is evil, just incompetent. Though that sentiment is on the rise too since the covid conspiracies, and still fueled by Russian and Chinese disinfo campaigns.
Judging from how google subtitles my videos on youtube, this would look like a comic gag for most people.
Article quality doesn't really matter for the purposes of what counts as a dupe on HN. The time to switch to a better article was while the conversation was ongoing (and regardless, Reuters will probably not be dropped in favor of WSJ because of the paywall).
We agree! (well I don't know that I would say exactly 20 weeks, but it would be somewhere around there, and I fully agree about life of the mother and also considerations for if the fetus can survive outside of the womb).

So this is an example of the individual nuance I mentioned above. But, if we were to have this discussion in a Democratic political setting, many (not all) would agree with us, but there would be quibbling over how we define "threaten the life of the mother" and also what sort of evidence/justification the doctor would need to provide (if any). Also if it hadn't happened yet, at some point here if you identify as a man, your opinion is out.

I think many people on here are misunderstanding that I'm criticizing the left but not the right. I think the right's position of life at conception is much more extreme than the average on the left. But there is definitely extremism on the left, and it tends to be at the party level.
Intermittently and imperfectly democratic (or at least republican) cities such as Venice, Florence, Milan, and Rome managed to build impressive works. The English monarchs would have loved to be absolute, but didn't ever quite manage it, yet London isn't too shabby.

Having adults give this a once-over would have been better. Does the law allow collusion online rather than IRL? This sentence implies that it does, otherwise the "IRL" is superfluous. Most (but not all) of us know, based on our knowledge and experience with zoomer writing, that the writer is not speaking literally or carefully. But this is a summary of a legal document and can be used in a court of law. This writing is terrible given the context.

It's not the only example of bad writing.

> And even if some of the conspirators cheat by starting with lower prices than those the algorithm recommended, that doesn’t necessarily change things. Being bad at breaking the law isn’t a defense.

Breaking the law less or not at all is indeed a defense, possibly a successful one. It also doesn't constitute being "bad" at breaking the law.

Lots of people who work in government agencies feel that it is okay to lie to the public to try to achieve greater goods. They are wrong.

Not the parent, but NNs typically work better when you can't linearize your data. For classification, that means a space in which hyperplanes separate classes, and for regression a space in which a linear approximation is good.

For example, take the circle dataset here: https://playground.tensorflow.org

That doesn't look immediately linearly separable, but since it is 2D we have the insight that parameterizing by radius would do the trick. Now try doing that in 1000 dimensions. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't or don't want to bother.

It seems like you've changed my requirements and then decided the thinkpads were a great fit.
Being Christian in Europe and the US are two completely different experiences. The two chief differences that I notice:

1. In Europe it is sort of the default state. Everyone belongs to the same Church. It is not really part of one's identity. American Christians are so splintered that being part of a Church means being part of a significantly smaller community and that plays a much bigger role in forming one's identity. The community aspect of Church is similarly more pronounced in the US for this reason.

2. American Jesus is your personal trainer, your protector, your personal cheerleader, your forever companion. European Jesus is technically supposed to also be those things but nobody really buys into it. The fervent belief in the efficacy of prayer is completely lacking. That gives people less incentive to go to Church.
I think I don't understand how to make a design error inexpressible either.

I know what the statement means, but I fail to imagine any hardware construction that is automatically wrong, merely ones that don't do what someone wanted. The same exact construct and resulting behavior could be what someone else wanted.

Violating the nominal specs, or the nominal intended purpose of a part or circuit to get particular results is the oldest thing in the world.

Maybe some things are common enough that it's reasonable to make them difficult to express?

Ok, also especially if you can assert your intentions with labels that say high level things, then I guess I can see being able to flag some things that would break the intentions expressed by the labels.

Maybe I'm starting to imagine a little.

The grandparent provided an argument why we might not want to use an algorithm, even if it provided a Pareto improvement.

I suggested that the same argument could be used to say that we should actively degrade performance of the algorithm, in the name of equity. This is absurd, and illustrates that the GP argument is maybe not as strong as it appears.
Sure, but I think you can make the same comment about the motivation behind and effectiveness of almost any security measure in the enterprise space.

Hence the notion of layering and "defense in depth". But as old as this idea is, it seems like some people are still looking for / expecting silver bullets that magically "fix security". Also consider threat modeling... what security measure one needs to take are driven at least in part by factors like "how valuable is what you're protecting?" and "what are the expected capabilities of the enemy who would be attacking you?" and so on.

Your instincts suck. Sorry to be blunt. It's similar to correcting a slide: your brain won't do it automatically, but it's worth learning because it's a safety feature.

If somebody enters your lane at speed, the safest thing to do is to let them know you're there. Swerving or breaking in response multiplies the problem, as now there are two cars driving erratically. The horn won't always resolve everything, but it's by far the most effective way to get somebody's attention in a hurry.
I suspect the founders were told that no one was going to invest in gambling companies and they should take their deal.
You can attack both when the people trying to warn you are incompetent. This was an obvious second order effect; if they tell businesses "we don't want you to do this, so you can't unless you put up a sign" it should never be a surprise to see signs sprouting up on the landscape.

Teenagers could have predicted this was the likely outcome.

Whoever wrote it was either incredibly incompetent in not predicting this outcome or intended this outcome.
I wonder how discoverable (for normal people) these repositories are. It looks like https://app.radicle.xyz/robots.txt doesn't exist, so it seems like fair game for search engines, and indeed a search on Google and DDG for

site:app.radicle.xyz

does give some results. Maybe not that high up yet if not using that site filter, perhaps the ranking will improve?

Tools for integrating CI support with this would also be nice to see. Ultimately a loop with

while true; do wait_repo_update; git pull && ./run_ci.sh; done

but something nicer that you could only limit to pushes by trusted identities.

And then finally artifact storage. But maybe Radicle doesn't need to solve everything, in particular as a distributed network for sharing large binaries is going to get some undesirable uses pretty fast..
That's just an overly broad definition. You can call anything anything if you like, but it's not helpful. Slavery is buying and selling humans.

You're describing instead a world in which everything isn't available for free, and so you have to make choices on how the resources you receive are deployed.

And sorry - I couldn't make out what the game was from your text. I don't think it particularly helps either way. It's easy to construct a game that misses an important component of reality.

There's just so much pointless and wasted stuff with this device it hurts.

Why have a SFF desktop PC with a laptop APU and a niche and expensive OCuLink external GPU connector, when you can just build a Mini-ITX/SFF desktop system with a dedicated desktop APU/CPU, and a dedicated desktop GPU for cheaper and much more performance and might also be quieter?

This system is basically a non-portable laptop built from laptop parts but without a display and battery, which costs nearly as much as a laptop but that one comes with the advantage of portability thanks to the display and battery.

I get the cheap Chinese NUCs, but this device basically has the disadvantages of both a desktop PC and a laptop combined, with almost none of the upsides.
Is this the actual smoking gun, “many”?
