It's a nice scalar representation of a UUID, for example. Also it makes a nice internal state for a fast 64-bit PRNG (e.g., any 128/64-bit LCG/MCG, such as pcg64).
God if only. Unfortunately, they call it the ol "ball and chain" for a reason.

Most men would happily sleep around with many women as they could if they had a "pass" from their partner. I wouldn't even be surprised if more than half of all married men would describe their sex life in terms like "mediocre" or worse.

Marriage is supposed to solve that issue, but I claim that among other things, falling marriage rates indicate that increasingly large numbers of (usually men) are prioritizing sleeping around over settling down.
Substance addiction is free reward with no effort at all. Sounds like it fits!
mRNA vaccines feel like they're going to be absolutely game changing in the next few decades, and maybe one day we'll see HIV, Malaria and many cancers as forgotten memories the same way we look at Polio today. Even with covid-19, traditional vaccines didn't have the same level of effectiveness and a lot more of the world would have been severely impacted without them.
By starting to charge money. Maybe not realistic right now because of the competition, but I'm sure it would look different if privacy abuse was illegal and everyone had to adapt.
> You typically get 1 IP and it rarely changes.

At least in Germany this is only somewhat true on fiber. Most cable/DSL has been on dynamic assignment forever, and some are even on CGNAT for IPv4 now.

IPs are shitty stable identifiers - and yet, before we got a static IP with our fiber provider, the neighbors YouTube recommendations leaked into our own.

> > It made it to production, for a long time

I never said it didn't make it to production. I was asking if that's the case, and giving one data point.

It apparently didn't make it into Ubuntu LTS either, so there's another one.

If you have information that proves or disproves either point, please present it.
Specifically for CMPXCHG16B, the normal case is for this to actually be two separate numbers (usually an 8-byte pointer and an ABA counter) stored in memory as a pair.

For a lot of 128-bit arithmetic, it's also better to use the integer registers to take advantage of the ADC/ADCX/ADOX and MULX instructions for basic arithmetic operations. It actually depends a lot on the operation chain.
> The first decade of the web fulfilled that promise – the web was decentralised with a long-tail of content and options, it created small, more localised communities, provided individual empowerment and fostered huge value.

I feel lucky to have grown up during this period of the web. It was an exciting and interesting time.
Well, I think it’s ok to connect it to WiFi (with temp password), update it, then disconnect it and change the WiFi password. Yes I know it’ll try to phone out with unprotected WiFi but those are increasingly rare. You won’t be able to update it later without a usb stick though.

It’ll probably be fine. Probably.
Replayable: You observe attack against server A, you can take that attack and perform it against server B.

This attack is unreplayable because it cryptographically ties into the SSH host key of the server.

CD-ROM drives were much more common than 5.25” floppy disk drives by 1994. Several games and multimedia applications required them.
I think the idea is they might reduce the alignment in places to save memory.
In docker and vagrant you do it the same way, the hash of the specific artefact. That can be a commit ID, but you can also do this without Git and the likes and use a content hash. Those are guaranteed to always refer to the same thing.

>> Usually you don't really want "the more deterministic way to get all, and only, the things you absolutely need."

That is why I wrote about the specific exception for CI, but since we're talking about humans experimenting in a box, we're not talking about CI.

I would document our supply chain completely by organizing and setting up a complete, but less economic, and smaller scale backup for it.

Everything you need, all open sourced, well documented, and ready to use to patch over any issues in our primary supply chain.
The "A" in MOVDQA stands for "aligned," and requires 16-byte alignment. The corresponding MOVDQU does not require alignment but is marginally slower, at least on older CPUs.
You’re right, those actions by themselves don’t necessarily point to hypomania—they’re just snippets of a larger journey.

Panama was indeed just the beginning; the real journey has been internal—navigating the landscapes of self-discovery and learning to process my thoughts through writing.

Your comment is much appreciated; it’s all part of the conversation about understanding ourselves better. So thank you for that.
I love LSP as much as the next person, but bacon's flicker-free zero config clippy watching basically TAUGHT me Rust!
Probably someone else who has had the same experience and understands you completely.

The question comes into whether you've continue to apply self-effort towards your inner growth, like the other person may have.

When we go about seeking our best way, it increases the chances of meeting others doing the same.
I'm assuming that you already have part of the infrastructure at home for other purposes (a network, a gaming PC, a media server, etc.). All that can also utilise the same NAS.

I guess if you feel paying for terabytes of Google drive is not much of an expense more power to you. It's certainly fire and forget. I find it too expensive, and irritating to keep paying for all the historical data I've generated. When my RAID is about to reach capacity, I buy a couple of 4 TB drives and that's it. No subscription to worry about.
Even if other users (or possibly, sock puppets of the attacker) had not been complaining, the original maintainer probably would have began to trust the attacker after enough real contributions.
Perfect behavioral prediction wouldn't be enough. They want nothing less than perfect behavioral control (modulo a few 'free choices' they allow).

Lest we forget, this is (of course) the ultimate goal of all advertising.
Totally disagree. Killing my third party app reduced my reddit usage by like 90%. Now I really only use it on my desktop PC.

On mobile, when I tap reddit search results I am never logged in which means I have to go to old.reddit.com to see the full thread and comments. If they added a log in wall I'd just stop tapping reddit results on mobile.
Not just autoconf. Build systems in general are a bad abstraction, which leads to lots and lots of code to try to make them do what you want. It's a sad reality of the mismatch between a prodecural task (compile files X, Y, and Z into binary A) and what we want (compile some random subset of files X, Y, and Z, doing an arbitrary number of other tasks first, into binary B).

For fun, you can read the responses to my musing that maybe build systems aren't needed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35474996 (People can't imagine programming without a build system - it's sad)
IPv6, too. (Unless you also need interface IDs for link-local addresses.)
That is very subjective, and far from what I’ve seen.
This kind of advice is such garbage.

No, reading "come as you are" or any of the shit bell hooks writes doesn't just fix issues for people like the OP. Telling them then that they have a "bad personality" is so fucked up. Personality is subjective, and most people on earth can find others who believe that their own personality is "perfect".

Someone not being successful in the dating market does not necessarily imply that their personality is bad. Saying they have no game and implying that this speaks about their personality is really hurtful. Women's sexual selection is not the arbiter of a good personality - and indeed, given what we know about how seductive dark triad traits are, it may in fact be a signal of a bad personality.

It's pretty bad when you straight up recommend "woo" to people, and effectively say "all roads lead to rome... EXCEPT THE RED PILL!"

The reality is that no matter how garbage Tate et all are, the alternative explanations for why increasingly large amounts of men have no game are so bad that huge swaths of men get seduced by tate's bullshit.

Your kind of response only takes impressionable men who would fall for it and further entrenches their beliefs that the red pill is the "subversive", "real" way that alpha men are ending up with harems while billy the beta ends up making another HN post about typescript
Absolutely, awareness is the first step towards change.Thanks for that insight, it's a valuable addition to the idea of mental barriers and personal growth.
If you're an average early-mid career person you pay more than your net worth to be near locations of high productivity. If you're a billionaire, you pay a small fraction of your net worth. If your wealth is hereditary and you don't actually produce anything yourself, you don't even need to live in a high productivity location

Depends on who you think should be paying the most, I guess...
I'm one of the authors of this work -- I can explain a little.

"Provably efficient" means that the language provides worst-case performance guarantees.

For example in the "Automatic Parallelism Management" paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3632880), we develop a compiler and run-time system that can execute extremely fine-grained parallel code without losing performance. (Concretely, imagine tiny tasks of around only 10-100 instructions each.)

The key idea is to make sure that any task which is *too tiny* is executed sequentially instead of in parallel. To make this happen, we use a scheduler that runs in the background during execution. It is the scheduler's job to decide on-the-fly which tasks should be sequentialized and which tasks should be "promoted" into actual threads that can run in parallel. Intuitively, each promotion incurs a cost, but also exposes parallelism.

In the paper, we present our scheduler and prove a worst-case performance bound. We specifically show that the total overhead of promotion will be at most a small constant factor (e.g., 1% overhead), and also that the theoretical amount of parallelism is unaffected, asymptotically.

All of this is implemented in MaPLe (https://github.com/mpllang/mpl) and you can go play with it now!

In Flatpak you define the dependencies as runtimes, and they are shared between apps. So for example when you install Kdenlive it will download the entire kde framework that is huge but when you install the next kde app it won't download it again
I suspect they're taking issue with the implication that these things are universally life changing, not that they can be meaningful at all. I have no doubt the author of this article uncovered personal truths, but the whole thing is framed as if they become an expert on everyone else's mental health by breaking free from their own depression.

Personally for navel-gazy articles like this I think it's more useful to focus on telling one's own story instead of making broad edicts and sprinkling in some science in an effort to lend legitimacy to them. What works for one person won't work for everyone, but "I was in X situation and did Y and it helped me" is far more likely to be helpful for someone else than simply "Do Y", especially when you're writing for a wide audience.
I'd love to work on a Von Neumann probe. A machine that could set down on Mars and make a supply chain complete enough to replace itself, AND have enough capacity to allow the creation of supplies sufficient for human flourishing.

I'd start with one that works in my back yard, and extracts metals from the soil in small quantities.
+1 for the Statistical Rethinking book by McElreath. I recently took the 2024 edition of the self-paced course https://github.com/rmcelreath/stat_rethinking_2024 and the lectures on youtube are amazing. He's not just teaching stats, but how to do science!

Another, more basic, book on Bayesian stats is: https://allendowney.github.io/ThinkBayes2/ The author uses the grid approximation for everything, so there is no need to get into Stan or other framework.

Myself, I'm still trying to (re)learn frequentist stuff properly (will post a separate comment about that), but the deeper I go the more convinced I am that it is total crap, and my desire to convert to the church of Bayes increases...

Apollo can still be used with sideloading a patch that allows you to enter new API key. As a single user it is hard to get to the limit.
Not a programmer, but couldn't the distribution's sshd patches for systemd (and all other distro patches for privileged daemons) use static includes? Wouldn't that have only pulled in the simple client-side communication API? Would that have defeated this vector? Would it be doable?
I wouldn't but my point is that a) no one is forcing anyone to use a website and b) it seems absurd to break a major browser API.
It was a really big problem for early x86-64 CPUs, I believe. My hearsay recollection is that the cache prefetcher would pretty much always load pairs of adjacent cache lines.
I have used 128 bit (and even 256 bit) numbers during Advent of Code when I was too lazy to optimize my algorithm and found that the puzzle input didn't exceed the 64 bit space by enough to look into arbitrary sized integers or better algorithmic solutions.

There are also some data formats that are 128 bit, like others mentioned.

"We value your privacy at $0.015 per bit of information"
This is the plain answer right here. The article promotes wasting way too much effort clicking around in the manufacturer's dark-patterned paradigm that merely provides some simulation of user empowerment. The simple answer is that no network backhaul means no surveillance. And if you want bonus points, open it up and pull the wifi card.

I'd caveat by not completely ruling out updating over the network though. Because you should only really be doing updates as part of your initial purchase/setup while it's still in the product return period, otherwise you can fall victim to post-sale revocation of functionality regardless of how an update is delivered.

Also perhaps not as applicable to TVs, but the initial purchase/return period is when you should be doing any advanced setup like pulling the wifi card or installing libre software distribution on a device. Otherwise you'll likely never actually get around to it later on once the device is "working". Ideally, think about how you're going to set up any given device/model in a freedom-preserving manner before you even buy it.

Not just VPN/VPS proxy access. They block my home residential IP too if I'm not using a megacorp browser. I opened a ticket about this a couple months ago and despite a few auto-replies assuring me they'd look into it and get back I've received nothing and nothing has changed.

Their ticket system is just there as a tar-pit to dissuade people from contacting them.

I really enjoyed this. Any suggestions from Hacker News for other shows for those who liked Silo?
This channel looks to be a solid recommendation.

Personality is everything, and can be developed from leveraging one's sincere ability to be curious.

As someone who accidentally outgrew gaming after playing them more than anyone I knew, a channel by this name, with this kind of content can shine the path forward to other equally interesting sides of one's self.

In my case, I rediscovered creating and building things was more interesting than playing in others worlds.

I never really quit gaming. I just didn't identify as someone who played games any longer.
Lack of proof in any direction is approaching the core issue here.

I'm a bit confused on how this would work. My cousin's farm originally belonged to my great uncle. It's been a working farm, in our family, for nearly 150, if not more. So if the 150 years has passed, does he need to vacate the farm? My uncle currently lives on my grandfather's farm, and that has been in our family for the same amount of time. Neither of these people are very wealthy. This type of thing is pretty common where I grew up. Middle class people inherit working farms and continue working them.

Really? I found it succumbed to the standard adaptation failure: fit as many plot points from the book into one season in cut-and-paste fashion, and link them together with some powerful overacting designed to direct the audience to the proper emotion. Three Body is failing the same way. A good adaptation needs a talented screenwriter, which is as hard to find as a good author.

Gang crime is primarily a symptom of poverty, inequality and lack of opportunities.

Nordic countries in particular would have a super low crime rate, had migration been handled better.

I do know, because “what if women aren’t interested in you” is a question you don’t ask after a certain degree of development.

I don’t know how long it will take to do this work. With a foundation of personal development and the right attitude, I bet you can go from “what if women aren’t interested in me” to successfully dating in under 6 weeks.

If you need to learn how to develop yourself, it could take 6 months or more before you’re able to internalize the needed lessons.
Significant swaths of Ph.D students would abandon all of their scholarly endeavors if they could go bar hopping and be pick-up artists.

Why should I even want a Ph.d if all it signals to the other sex is that I'm not just a nerd, but a nerd with a poor ability to calculate ROI. At least a lot of the "jocks" ended up with a good ROI job in finance that they got from their frat brothers rich dad.
