Yeah, friction makes it easier to sort out what's important vs. what's not. Probably the most life-friendly device I own is my smartwatch: it's just a fancy beeper for skimming through (and not replying to) high-priority messages that make it through my strict notification controls.

Companies need to learn there's a lot of value in restraint and not acting like they're the most important thing in the world.
It also uses a Merkle tree to compress the snapshot versions associated with commits. But the actual commit structure builds on top of that. A pure Merkle tree or forest would only give you a set of overlapping snapshots, without any directionality. So, I think it is fair to call it a blockchain as well.
That's in a large part not because people like big tech companies, rather they just hate the government even more than they hate big tech, because the government being so corrupt and ineffective is why the big tech companies are getting away with all the blatant abuses they perpetrate. I think interpreting that as "people would rather Amazon take over the government" is incorrect.
Well, they might as well be props. Some companies will sell you something that looks like book, but isn't, just to make your office look good. I have even seen a wallpaper with image of a bookshelf :)
I present the long-term safety of radioactive hazards as an design task to my students. Effectively, a limit-case test of their design know-how. These are my notes on the subject:

Nothing other that speculative solutions have so far been proposed.

In the same module, I also address the problem of communicating with alien intelligence using the Voyager 'Golden Record' as an exemplar.
The company that did 4-cores-forever, has the opportunity to redeem itself, in its next consumer GPU release, by disrupting the "8-16GB VRAM forever" that AMD and Nvidia have been imposing on us for a decade. It would be poetic to see 32-48GB at a non-eye-watering price point.

Intel definitely seems to be doing all the right things on software support.

I tried AMD exactly once for Linux graphics, it was so unstable that I bought a NVIDIA card within a month and have never looked back. Potentially NVidias approach of staying as far away as possible from the Linux kernel abstractions is much saner than to play ball with them.

Show HN: I built a chess training website (and open sourced it)
A few years ago I built ChessTraining.app as a way to train the things I needed to improve at in Chess.

I spent my Christmas break doing it.

Last Christmas, I decided it needed to be rebuilt ground-up and completely overhauled. So I did that, and it's just ticked over 30,000 lines of code.

Recently I decided to Open Source (https://github.com/KeeghanM/chess-training-app-2.0) it, which for an amateur solo dev is terrifying - I'm scared I have a million security flaws and I'm just asking to get attacked! But I also think developing in the open is the best course of action so... risk taken.

Current Features:
Natural Play Learning: Chessable, but better! A unique method that adapts to your learning curve, focusing on new challenges and reinforcing concepts as needed.

Tactics Trainer: Sharpen your tactical vision using the WoodPecker Method, with puzzles generated based on selected themes or covering the whole remit of chess tactics.

Endgame Trainer: Improve your endgame skills with tailored training covering all major piece endgames.
Visualisation Training: Enhance your ability to foresee multiple moves ahead and improve your strategic planning.

Recall Training: Enhance your board recall by memorising board positions, try it under time pressure for a real challenge.
Before one can do advanced mathematics (I have too have done research in math) one needs to learn the basics. Reading Smullyan did not in any way help you learn advanced mathematics. It may have helped you to get motivated to learn math and want to learn advanced math but it didn’t help you accomplish this. There’s a reason just about every mathematics department teaches classes on how to do proofs and on basic set theory but almost none of them teach from Smullyan’s book.

The overwhelming empirical evidence is that having a course on proofs and basic set theory is much better preparation for advanced mathematics than reading Smulyan’s recreational math books. I guess you’d rather your students read Martin Gardner and then do Fraliegh’s Abstract Algebra book. No one does it that way but go with your so called empirical evidence.

Having a Ph.D. in math ought to have taught you to reason better than to use “actual research” as part of your reasoning when discussing learning topics that are not cutting edge. One doesn’t need to have done research in mathematics to know about Gorenstein rings or projective dimension or other such stuff. It also has nothing to do with teaching basic math.

I could be wrong in my opinion but attack it on its merits without using superfluous things like “actual research” when research has nothing to do with the topic.
For a trivial example, see the Solar System.
Acknowledge that social media is a distraction and understand how it impacts your productivity is vital. For a long time I wasn't able to understand that I have an issue with that.
It's worth pointing out that we got lucky with a savvy tester stumbling on the backdoor in the dark. It wasn't anyone's job to find this backdoor, and arguably if it had been designed just a little better, no one would have noticed.

I wouldn't have gov't be maintainers of the main repos, but either be assigned to vetting critical repos, or mirroring them and co-maintaining copies endorsed for security (if I agreed gov't should be involved).

The ultimate questions is, are our critical systems (kernel, systemd, core userland) safe *enough* against future similar attacks, that we are okay trusting the global economy to another lucky valgrind test?

You incorrectly implied that a national security risk is "the potential of negative consequences in any sphere of human life". If we didn't get lucky, this could have been an economic and human catastrophe. That's not an inconvenience.
I'm pretty sure if they need it for something around the nuclear weapons programme, they can cough up a million USD for a bounty.

If I were a maintainer there and got such a "funny" comment on a feature request, they'd get a very snotty response.
> The iPhone was already a smashing success before third-party apps (jailbroken ones included) were ever developed.

Source for this? It wasn't until a few generations in that the iPhone really took off. Yes there were die-hard supporter and people who loved it from day 1 but people always pretend the iPhone was destined to be what it is today at launch and that was not at all the impression I had living through it.
Certainly, but we need an xz decompressor to read the current debian repo versions for the next decades, when they are oldstable or archived.

Show HN: Chartgenie – A Chart and Graph Maker for iPhones
I created Chartgenie with one simple goal, to create and share beautiful charts . I wanted to have the ability to take a piece of information from a book, an article, a piece of research, or from a work project, and turn it into a beautiful chart that tells a story. No spreadsheet pivoting, no coding, just some text fields and options to customize.

I hope you fid it useful and any feedback would be appreciated!
To me that's the big one, that even you an individual has the ultimate option to define "win" however you want.

Not only are you not subject to the conflict of interest between users and sellers in a commercial product, you aren't even subject to the popularity contest tyranny of the majority in a non-commercial product.

If someone takes the last open version of something and forks it and never does anything further to it and no one else ever uses it, but it does what they want, they win.

They win at life no matter what anyone thinks about that fork.
And then the local witch doctors hear about the weird deaths and dig the “curse” up as a weapon[1] against their enemies :) if they are clever enough they make sure that the digging and distributing of it is not done personally but by less valuable people pressed into service (such as old slaves, enemies, etc etc)

More caution might not be a bad thing.
I thought the next thing after CD/DVD would have been essentially thumbsticks. Or something more akin to Switch cartridges. Data access is data access, it seemed we could get more data in less space by moving to basically SSDs.

But yeah, on demand(ish), always available(ish) content kind of changed the game.
Would technically work, but if I’m keeping physical media around I’d want archival quality (original CD audio or at least FLAC). A Blu-ray would fit a lot of FLACs too though, if not nearly as many as it could MP3s.
Most sites are more easily searched via an external engine restricted to the appropriate domain. E.g., if I search "python object model" I expect to find this [0] lovely reference. I misremembered the exact title, but ddg, bing, and google all have it as one of the first results, depending on your search personalization profile. It's #17 in the docs' built-in search engine accessed through !py3.

More importantly, in that custom search, it's behind the datetime module (which "models" some time-related behavior), the ssl module (which has a multiplexing "model" for wrapping socket "objects"), and many other results that are just stdlib modules with no consideration for the fact that the query doesn't seem to be asking about specific APIs or modules.

It's not a great search phrase, and writing a proper search engine is hard, but when I use other tools (e.g., binding !py in qutebrowser's search customization to a ddg search with the site:docs.python.org restriction) I don't have to spend any time crafting a perfect query and still get exactly the results I want.

Such a nice interview though. It's cool that something like this is happening on a mainstream platform like Jon Stwarts Daily Show
Ah, fair enough, that wasn't anywhere in the article.
Eh, there’s kinda precedent in entertainment specifically, from the days of the studio system.

Though made up of a bunch of “free choices” the situation was still kinda shit for both consumers of film and actors.

So it may or may not be a good description of what’s happening, but it’s not a ridiculous notion.
If I was the maintainer and was approached by government telling me, "hey, here are two folks who're going to be two new full-time maintainers and we're funding them" I certainly would be worried.

(Shrug) Nobody's being held in an Amazon warehouse against their will. They pay well, so people elect to put up with BS like lining up off the clock for security screening.

> If others want to compete they should offer something as compelling

Perhaps they cannot? Monopolies can apply to the purchase of labour, too. Indeed, the lack of viable competition, would be circumstantial evidence, to support the argument that there is a monopoly. Monopolies will sometimes overpay for labour in the same way they will undercharge for products - it can squeeze competitors out.
You have no damn clue what you're talking about.
Interesting concept. I tried the query "Please provide a comprehensive analysis of Bell Canada's fundamental financial metrics" as I am quite familiar with BCE as a company.

The output was quite generic. Lots of buzzwords, without any substantial discussion about the what the company actually sells or what they are investing in (fibre to the home network, 5G, evolution from telco to tech services firm, cloud consulting, etc...).

Also the financial "analysis" was limited to discussing the PE ratio and P/B of the company. Telcos are typically valued based on EV/EBITDA or EV/FCF -- this is standard amongst analysts and investors in the Telco community.

The analysis seemed very surface-level, but it's an interesting start.

>the only way I see to properly mitigate these kinds of threats is to ditch OSS and make all software commercial again (and legally force vendors to stop with the "no warranty" clause in licensing).

Which just pushes the problem to commercial companies getting a 'friendly' national security letter they can't talk about to anyone stating they should add REDACTED to the library they provide.

I think that's the real difference under all this - Dominos employs drivers (and they get paid by tips, sure there are issues) but it's all one thing. If they deliver a cold pizza it's on them.

All the delivery app companies are NOT making the food so the blame game starts AND they are not employees so a bunch of gaming is going on.

I know my one experience with Uber eats is such that I'll never use it again, and instead travel myself.
I think this is a case where doing the automated analysis on a large dataset is misleading, because the automated analysis is based on an automated evaluation of how good a move is. Another way of saying "don't blunder" in this context is "choose a move that is not much worse than the best move". That is hardly more useful advice than "choose the best move". The advice "don't blunder" only becomes useful when you can also give advice about how to recognize blunders: "check whether your pieces are hanging", "check whether your opponent has mate in 1", "check for forks". Probably many of the blunders in that dataset are simple things like this, but others are long forcing lines or counterintuitive sacrifices that are difficult to recognize both for you and for your opponent. The computer doesn't distinguish, but it's much easier to improve by focusing on the former than the latter. (obviously to continue to improve you have to do both, but "not hanging pieces" is a lot less work).
Great article. Krebs serves the story with a dose of judgement:

> these nitwits still fail spectacularly at hiding their illegal activities

Seems to me that part of what makes a global internet hazardous is the it is fully connected in a graph theory sense. Every clinical sociopath can reach every other person on earth.
Just makes it more annoying to implement. Your locally running CLI tool will still have access to the local TPM the browser used: in other words, the CLI tool can implement the necessary parts of the browser.
I went back 6 months to see his history of predictions to see if he had any merit. If you want to be charitable and call this a hit, that's 1 for 5 in predictions. Looking at the history of M7+ earthquakes in the past 3 months, he had no prediction of occurrence for 2 of the 3 earthquakes that have happened (and this pattern of failing to predict M7+ earthquakes continues further back in 2023, I just don't have the stats in front of me right now).

You have provided, to wit, zero evidence of his track record of successful predictions. Not even a (second) example of successful prediction, much less any attempt to actually quantify over any time scale how successful prediction is. And you claim that someone attempting to do the latter is only to conclude my own bias...

Some more data: if you go back to the Wayback Machine archive of his webpage (see https://web.archive.org/web/20231001000000*/ssgeos.org), you can see that there is persistently an earthquake forecast of over 10%, and on frequent basis even 40% or 50%, chance of magnitude 8.5+ earthquakes (right now, it's a 30% chance). The last such earthquake is 2012. Simply put, even on a probabilistic basis, it's an absolute, abject failure of a prediction.

FWIW, I should also point that when I tried to drill down to the scientific basis of the predictions from the source, I arrived at pure numerology: https://ssgeos.org/articles/geometry-dynamics-solar-system.h.... Not a great look!

I developed this Chrome extension to set opening links in new tabs as the default behavior. Often, I found myself frustrated when intending to save a tab for later, only to have it replace my current one. While aware of the CMD+Click shortcut for opening links in new tabs, I prefer this as the default behavior, which is the reason I created this extension.
That's because you don't need different versions of python. The author needs to test his stuff against different versions, including ARM and intel versions.

I'd say it is a good idea to pin python version in your project just like you'd pin any library - after all, there are changes to the standard library all the time. But how to do that in practice. Fuck me if I know a good way.
I wonder when it became common, since I did some Python stuff many years ago and never encountered the term in that context.

Hey, thank you for the feedback. I guess I failed to show the initial value of the product which is not directly give you access to courses but make easier your search for it. The idea is paying for the search but not for the content because the YouTube's content is obviously free.

Once again thank you for the feedback.

No human has walked on the moon in my lifetime (last human left December 1972). I'm somewhat against going back because I like to tease old people about this (which isn't a good reason I know, but it is fun).

Even if/when humans again walk on the moon it will just be a short trip and they will head back to earth (Likely China, but India is realistic, other countries that could realistically send someone to the moon don't seem very interested in trying) Their missions will be planed from Earth, and they will otherwise want to match earth time so they can contact people back on Earth.

If in the distance future we put colony on the moon, the people will drift apart from earth and so I expect the kids born on the moon will not care about earth time so much and may eventually demand a switch to moon time. OTOH, I think what they really want out of moon time (light cycles are too long to be useful humans) probably isn't what we think today.

I don't think that any were sickened from radiation. The increases found were quite small, and would not cause any radiation sickness. You need dose rates thousands of times higher than what was reported to get radiation sickness.

From https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60528828:

Prof Claire Corkhill, a nuclear materials expert from Sheffield University, told the BBC the spike was "quite localised" and there had been increases along the main routes in and out of the zone around the reactor.

"The increased movement of people and vehicles in and around the Chernobyl zone will have kicked up radioactive dust that's on the ground," Prof Corkhill said.

"Provided there's no further movement, it should decrease again over the next couple of days."

But any military activity in the zone is concerning.
The post upthread didn't assert they hoarded talent by paying more.

They hoarded talent by conspiring to make it harder to leave, which had the bonus of not having to pay them as much.
My take away is "humans enjoy living in spaces designed to be comfortable for humans". This criterion can be failed in cities and suburbs, though the failed state looks like miles of concrete versus... miles of concrete, actually, who thought that was a good idea.
