It is quite common and vessels often have outages that leave them Not Under Command. Usually they are safely at sea when this happens and they can drift for hours without causing problems. But of course there's always a possibility of it happening at exactly the wrong moment.

The reasons for this are the usual: lack of redundancy, lack of maintenance, overworked and understaffed crews, etc. etc. The book lays out how ships are pretty much designed to be floating disasters and the Class societies (essentially privatized regulators) are in the pockets of the builders, and they are so captured that they make rules that make it difficult to make safe vessels.

For instance, he was trying to design multi-screw vessels but the rules now assume single-screwed ships and it can be impossible to design in additional shaft alleys and still conform.
The comment contains the words “crypto” and “fiat”. It should be obvious that it’s head-in-the-clouds thinking.
You can see it happening in! [1] is a waterfall display (time is vertical axis, frequency is horizontal) of a few CW signals and compare the harsh braodband clicks on the right to the nice dotted lines on the left. That kind of broadband noise happens when your signal goes from on to off too fast (or something else like just not generating a clean sine wave). If your radio can shape your keying to have a little ramp-up/ramp-down you get a much cleaner looking signal like those on the left.

The noise is effectively AM, since you are modulating the signal from 0 to full amplitude, and with the very fast amplitude change you get what looks like characteristic AM signal with a center carrier and symmetric sidebands.

If you find a good replacement for SW eng as a career, let me know.
Are they offloading cloud operations using sidechannel funnel?

If so its a prime opportunity to look into investment potential and growth vectors!
Yep. Implementation looks simple enough that, if it is a drop-in replacement, should be up-streamed.

Curious to know if there are any known caveats?

Otherwise, go for it. May seem daunting, but it's not. I've submitted a couple of proposals and patches; pretty happy with the process.
My bad. Never payed attention to that story, but that was how I recalled the headlines.
That's a good suggestion! I tried to generate as many moods as possible for the initial version, but I may have missed some (even basic ones).

It's definitely something to add. Do you have other mood suggestions in mind?
Rental car companies loathe debit cards, for reasons so sane person can fathom. Last time we rented, they (Hertz, as it was) outright refused our debit card.
Well, you can use 3rd party app stores like F-Droid, which is open source...
Yep, I just closed the tab at that point.
He does this all the time to libraries. These things are correlated; the more tools you make, the less time you have to maintain any single one of them. You learn to ignore it because they're also extremely well made libraries where the unmaintained status doesn't mean anything.

Two counter arguments:

The package registry entry isn't the package. At no time is the original creator deprived of their rights to their package. Any fork will have to respect whatever license the original creator assigned. Open source licenses are allow forking by design for a reason.

Also, this whole thing needs to rest on a transparent process that doesn't make takeovers easy. There need to be clear criteria when takeovers can even be initiated, like extended inactivity (think 6 months or more) or unresponsive maintainers when serious issues are encountered. Also, there is not much harm in a mechanism for reclamation by the original package owner.

I don't disagree with you. I don't have a solution either. I also know that the paper linked above put on HN will not make much of a difference to peoples perspectives on the matter since it doesn't have a ton of merit to it.

So the question becomes -- whats the point of posting it here other than to inflame commentary?
Hey there!

We have worked extensively with many of the latest LLM models and tried many different techniques to solve the various problems for our customers.

We use a combination of tools from Google and OpenAI to leverage LLMs. We use React and Heroku to support the web application.

The biggest challenge so far has been getting good field extraction and the ability to accurately search millions of documents using NLP. We've iterated our tools several times and finally reached a good solution that adequately solves the biggest needs of our customers.

We've built a RAG and iterated several times in order to try and get the best configurations for our customers.
I used to have an internet connection from a small ISP that used carrier grade nat. Same issue. I think most of these captcha systems basically just look at IP or other reputation, and then make end-users do mechanical turk style work for free.

Someday, I'm hoping some sociologists look for evidence of socioeconomic discrimination in captcha implementations.

In my experience, performing the exact same actions with your mouse in Mountain View leads to a completely different outcome than it does in lower income areas (red-voting white, ethnic minorities, etc) surrounding the Bay Area.
I agree that it's a hard problem (like fair markets regulation in general - e.g. it's not straightforward how to define a particular market either). Unfortunately I'm also not sure what the better solution would be - at least trying to make them as fair as possible seems to be the somewhat reasonable choice, compared to full central planning or a free-for-all market.
Agree and disagree. Kids can't really understand the negative impact of the things made to alter their mind, and since their parents are responsible for them, it's their job not to just explain, but to do their best to limit or participate in their usage. This is only difficult if your children are not in your presence 24/7 (public school, hanging out at malls, etc).
2D fighters, as well. The port of SFA3 on Saturn trounces the PS1 release, for example.

I mean, I'm not the lawyer, my brother is. But I'll speculate all the same.

I don't think that they are actually doing anything illegal [0]. It seems to be perfectly fine to pilot your boat anywhere you want to. Even if that means it looks like you're gonna run into the pier. It's not like they ever actually did run into the pier anyways.

Also, per other conversations with my brother, maritime law is not like 'normal' law. When we say that the US constitution is the supreme law of the land, that isn't just a turn of phrase. That literally mean 'the land'. Not the ocean. Maritime law is, from what I remember, the oldest law we have. And as such, things in maritime law aren't what you'd think.

Like, if you want to impound a boat, they have these really really comically large boat-cuffs that you have to use. And you have to do these strange legal gymnastics to actually impound a boat. Because, well, it's a boat. You can just take it over the horizon and effectively the captain will just never be seen again. It's not like the land where it's hard to get to another jurisdiction. In a boat, it's really easy. That's kinda the point of a boat.

Things like credit and ownership also work really funky too. Like, if you own the boat, but aren't actually on the boat when it goes out to sea, you're really just kinda hoping that the captain comes back. Not just due to freak storms, but also you really have to trust the captain. So things like credit and how money works on the sea are just different. Because it's so damn easy to just not come back.

If any real lawyers want to join in, please do. Again, I'm not a maritime lawyer, my brother is.

[0] To note here, the Rocket Boat company went bust in 2019, apparently. They're trying to bring it back, but seem to be struggling with the aftereffects of covid and whatnot.
Yep. Anyone peddling cryptocurrencies as a legitimate replacement for traditional State-controlled fiat currencies WITHOUT a meaty protection layer on top is at this point delusional. You think that you’re selling a technological replacement but you’re actually selling a whole suite of financial deregulation that frankly society hasn’t been begging for, and these people will more often than not take it as a given that the general public agrees with their libertarian view.
The latter is unlikely. The developers are active on the Affinity messageboards, I don't recall them ever having any interest in building web apps. Just creating a "good enough" cross-platform alternative to Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator is more than a full-time job already.
The whole point of Guantanamo is that it's not in the USA and therefore the US constitution doesn't apply and they can do what they want.

Which is ridiculous given that Assange was also not in the USA. Somehow US law applies to him when he has nothing to do with the USA, but not to people imprisoned on a US government facility by the US government.
I like it, but I find it frustrating that zen mode is timed and that I have to login to access past puzzles - I don't find it enjoyable or worth it with these constrains.
Attack vector requires local execution access and allows for escaping limited privileges like non-root user accounts and breaking out of (some?) namespace jails used by containers and sandboxing systems.
SMS is still used in France. It is free, reliable and every phone supports it, making it the default.

I think there are historical reasons. There was a time where most plans had free SMS but expensive internet, and even today the cheapest plans have free SMS and very limited data (ex: 50MB/month for the free.fr 2€/month plan).

Countries that didn't have good SMS infrastructure and advantageous plans are the most likely to have switched to private, internet-based messengers.

I don't know if it is still the case now with 4G/5G and the phasing out of earlier standards, but SMS had the advantage of going through congested networks better than anything else, including phone calls, MMS and internet data. Probably because it is an ouf-of-band signaling protocol.
Same for Go standard library. It is excellent and curated by "billions of dollars".
Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users
Just want to mention, these fees are ~3% plus some fixed cost between 5 and 30 cents. This does push the effective percentage up when looking at small transactions like those commonly made in an app store. Stripe is the highest I’ve seen with a 30 cents fixed charge, but this means for a $5 purchase, they’re effectively charging 8.9%.

Not only that, but:

> The pact would lower the rates by 0.04 percentage point and keep them there for five years.

Seriously?

I'm no expert and I know the numbers have to be small given costs and such, but… 0.04%?

That said, this part looks more important in the long run:

> The proposed settlement would create some changes to give merchants more choice on accepting cards, allowing them to guide consumers to cards that have lower fees. It would also give small businesses the ability to form groups to negotiate swipe fees, similar to what large retailers already do today.
softcore by day on twitch

Porn is very lucrative business, the crafty ones use it as an opportunity to advertise their other streams.

The other female streamers are pressured to compete for limited audience.

So unless Twitch goes after it its a race to the bottom.
We're not worse at remembering numbers, there's just no need for it so we don't bother.
Yes I think that's exactly my point. The immigrants have less resources and are at a disadvantage (eg language) compared to the US born population. But they think and do differently which enables them to achieve escape velocity from poverty.

My point is that the same mindset is available to others if they chose to seek it out. Telling yourself how poor and stuck you are precludes that.
So you took asm code that had no SIMD instructions in it, made your own version in c++ with intrinsics and figured out that, yes, SIMD is faster? Realy?

Except for when you to `var != null` to make sure var isn't null OR undefined since those are two different things in javascript and undefined will implicitly be converted to null here.

It's 'valued' at $40bn, so if you can figure out the particulars of their VC rain dance, I imagine there's plenty of capital available for acquisitions.
Because forcing people to speak the ruling class's lingua franca has done so much good for the 500+ languages we already forced out of existence? If anything, finally having proper real-time translation would allow folks to keep speaking their native tongue instead of being forced to abandon it.

Languages with global speaker bases will be fine, but languages with tiny speaker groups would highly benefit from having an alternative to "stop speaking your own language and learn ours, or your government won't talk to you".
i mean the cap ex is that you have to build a phone.
the people deserve more of an explanation than “national security” if they’re going to ban such a popular app

I agree that as much as possible of the TikTok briefings should be declassified, and am extremely skeptical of giving governments additional powers, but "national security" really is a sufficient justification in this case. There is no way we should allow a hostile foreign government access to such a massive amount of data on Americans or the ability to easily spread their propaganda.
Again I think you're going on a bit dated stuff - a lot has changed. Most video cards now a days pretty much silent most of the time - they generally just run a lot cooler than in the past, even when being pushed pretty decently. NVidia has also really dropped the ball in the gaming domain, perhaps because both Sony and Microsoft both use AMD now a days. So take everything I say to have a sort of implied [on AMD] attached at the end.

As for that game you mentioned, the 5700XT is doing 54FPS average on 'very high quality' settings at 1080p - so substantially better than a PS5! The PS4/PS5 uses a checkerboard upscaling to make their resolution claims. So half the pixels are 'real' and half are fudged. So for e.g. '1800p' the hardware itself is only directly rendering a 1600x900 image at well below 'very high' settings, and then interpolating the other half. In general, though, it seems like they did a top notch port - ultra wide resolution, multi monitor support, and more - all at much better performance, and for much less $$$.

> I'm not sure what this has to do with fiat currency.

Just read their reply as "traditional payment methods". Nothing really protects credit/debit card transactions, the security of which is basically the emperor isn't wearing clothes.

I'd even say the security to directly access my bank via customer support relies on obvious, basically public, identifiers that to me seem somewhat trivial for a potential attacker to socially engineer.

… parent's "solution" does strike me a bit like "meet the new boss, same as the old boss", though.
My take as someone who worked in Cloud, closely with the AI product teams on GTM strategy, is that it was primarily the former: Google was always extremely risk averse when it came to AI, to the point that until Andrew Moore was pushed out, Google Cloud didn't refer to anything as AI. It was ML-only, hence the BigQuery ML, Video Intelligence ML, NLP API, and so many other "ML" product names. There was strong sentiment internally that the technology wasn't mature enough to legitimately call it "AI", and that any models adequately complex to be non-trivially explainable were a no-go. Part of this was just general conservatism around product launches within Google, but it was significantly driven by EU regulation, too. Having just come off massive GDPR projects and staring down the barrel of DMA, Google didn't want to do anything that expanded the risk surface, whether it was in Cloud, Ads, Mobile or anything else.

Their hand was forced with ChatGPT was launched ... and we're seeing how that's going.
It’s quite fathomable: they can charge the arbitrary amount of damage you do to the car to your credit card and then it’s your problem. They can’t do that with a debit card if you don’t have enough in the account, it will reject.

Also debit cards are typically used by poorer people who are riskier for them.

Debit cards save them on processing so they would prefer it if all else were equal. They’re not all stupid so the reasons must be sound.
Unless you’re going to allow babies to vote, we have to draw the line somewhere. It’s also not true that a 17 year old is disenfranchised for 4 years - they can engage with the political process as an adult as soon as they turn 18. Presidential elections aren’t the only feature of democracy. They aren’t even the only vote.
An Innovation Mindset: Improving Mainframe Quality Through Test
> No, that regex being used as a part of your build pipeline’s transitive dependencies’ codebase is not actually something which can be exploited for a DoS attack.

Yeah, issues in dev dependencies are such a headache in the JS world. There exist scenarios in which these matter (a compromised build tool injecting malicious code into the lib you’re building) but they are vanishingly rare and hidden under the tidal wave of DOSable regexes that don’t matter at all when you just call them in your build. Couple that with typical build tools having a transitive tree of 50 gabillion dependencies and it’s a real slog. I think the tooling for reporting on these issues needs to differentiate “exploitable if you redistribute” vs “exploitable if you use in a build pipeline”.
He got Dave Cutler to sit for a three hour interview.

As far as the value of his social media stuff goes, the danger posed by his inflating the importance of the Windows format dialog and his contribution to it (seriously?) is outweighed by the serious stuff he's doing.
There needs to be a name for this phenomenon experienced by native English speakers abroad, who actually want to learn a foreign language.

carrying cash is obviously annoying, credit cards are popular because they are much easier

duh?
You're not getting my phone number, thanks.

If you just want to send a code, and you want to tie it to some kind of identifier token, take the less-than-a-day that it takes to add normal "trusted third party" authentication, where you ask google/facebook/github/whoever to confirm this is a real person.

And then you don't have to save any personal information, either (which laws both in the US and EU say includes phone numbers), which means you also can't LEAK personal information when someone inevitably gets into your database.
I tried the demo, it worked well, allowing me to add a line and then delete the first line - a test that Dragon or Apple would have failed.

What does the actual app look like though? Is it only in a browser or can I use this anywhere on my Mac?

Have you tried to read the post you are replying to? It clearly refers to online payments which, in this universe, can't be settled with cash. Also, the "static password" securing the credit card transaction is clearly the 16 digit static number printed on the card and the associated metadata, that's what can be stolen.
Sure, different people can have different opinions. But it’s also not literally true, in the sense that it’s only one of three criteria, but also because it’s more of a conceptual framing than something to be taken exactly. There’s just a high bar of usefulness required.

You can tell that this isn’t literally true just by looking at the contents of the standard library.
