> Too bad it's a big club and everybody here won't be in it, eh.

There is some uncomfortable truth in this.

Those who identify with technology, and take for granted being its
masters, controllers and benefactors, end up the most disappointed.

The hoi polloi are happily indifferent to the cargo cult of shiny
stuff that comes and goes, which they buy because their friend got
one.

But those intelligent enough to know what we could have had, what's
possible and what's lost, will feel betrayed by larger forces that
nobody controls, whatever "big club" you imagine yourself in.

It's one thing for a man to lose to lose his faith. It's something
else when a priest does.

PL/C was a simplified(?) version that was handy for this 1970s student.
Another problem is the cost. Mostly in energy. We have had these sugar cane or corn starch based biopolymers for years that nominally degrade to nothing, the reason nobody uses them (except facts-not-required corporate greenwashing purposes) is that the amount of energy you have to spend to get the input processed to the required state lies very much within the "totally ridiculous are you kidding" range.

Also, it turns out if you can't leave your packaging on the shelf for awhile and have it maintain a known state, it's less useful than the other stuff. Especially in developing countries with limited infrastructure (which is where the volume is) and where supply chains are likely to be exposed to high temperature and humidity which is exactly the environment required for accelerating breakdown...
That sounds nice in theory but how do they solve inventory split?

Inventory levels for SKUs across multiple warehouses is notoriously difficult to balance, even more so for smaller (Shopify mom&pop) retailers.

If I split my inventory across multiple packers, the likelihood to get "local-ish" delivery is getting smaller and and smaller.

What I get, however, is a scalable workforce for packaging/shipping. It can result in economies of scale if and only if all the order can be shipped from a single packer.

By the way, if they use anything else than ultra local carriers, the package will anyway be sent away to a sorting center dozens or hundreds of kilometers away from the packet, if even the customer is right next door.

It's a good idea if you want to "uberize"/get a scalable packaging/inventory workforce, but it seems to me to be disguised under a green-ish marketing varnish that quickly fades away once you look at it closely.
Howdy! Kind of forgot that I put this up, the registration url can also take an optional pubkey parameter, so you dont have to rely on the server generating the private key for you (docs are a little lacking so I understand the confusion!)

To answer your last question, eBPF XDP which is what I use can only do PASS, DROP or REDIRECT. So I stick with the easiest possible outcome and do PASS/DROP, which means your connections will just stop working.

However you can always set up the detection yourself by adding the captive portal detection pages to your wag MFA list then the browser should do everything else for you.

Unfortunately doing interception or acting like a proxy isnt something Im looking to do with wag (which makes authorisation timeout/logout a bit easier to deal with)

Hope that answers things!

As I have been saying this since 2015, they should have launch the Game Store as a separate thing, and keep that 30% cut. Gaming accounts for ~75% to 80% of all App Store revenue.

And then just gradually lower the other App category 5% every 3-4 years, We would have arrived at 20% by now and looking at 15% in ~2025 without possibly little backlash.

Instead they decide to keep those 30%, and continue to offer AppleTV+, Apple Music, Arcade, Fitness, News and all other services operating at zero margin for potential to customer lock in.

From all the public information and readings I am willing bet this is a strategy championed by Eddy Cue and ultimately won in the internal Apple Discussions.
Im not entirely sure what you mean by "eternal session keys" in the context of wag specifically.

While the wireguard key effectively gives you the ability to talk to the wag server, the session is effectively maintained by a map in ebpf, as to whether you've authorised or not.

So even if someone steals your private key material, they wont be able to access MFA restricted routes

Yep! I do indeed have protections against bruteforcing TOTP codes, effectively each authentication has a number of "attempts" a user can make before their account gets locked, and an admin is then required to unlock it.

Specifically to force people to have a bit of a think as to why their device is trying to force auth to begin with, as it indicates an endpoint compromise.
I fear you might be true. I do worry though that a big reason LLMs are good and answering tech questions is that they’ve read SO
This doesn't discuss Internet forum software which allowed including "emojis" in text, via small predefined GIF images. Was this a later development? There were also instant messengers like ICQ and AIM, but they only came out in 1996/1997, and I don't know whether they had "emojis" from the start.

Thank you whoever wrote this piece to remind me how trash the old steel frames have been. I managed to break a few in my time.

These days, we do still get badly made frames. The cheap poorly made composite being the key failures.
Of course, every now and then someone makes a void in an aluminum frame so it won't live 20+ years.

Stainless always was a joke, titanium almost nobody makes because it's pain to weld.

I will also kick the "researchers" for using lifetime mileage of people who do not use their bikes to do everything.
It's not particularly easy to put a car on a train, for instance.

Quora started out fairly interesting albeit often with answers written by self-evident self-promoting know it alls. That’s mostly a decade in the rear view mirror today it’s filled with people trying to shill, promote, or I don’t know exactly. In any case it’s largely low quality which of course drives any high quality answers even less likely to be contributed.

Ha! Love it. Thanks for the readjustment, I'll stop spoiling my laptop.
> But this also means that the coordinate must be sampled from a set large enough that the attacker cannot guess it by random chance. If the modulus is near ( 2 ^ 256 ), this is clearly the case. But with a modulus of ( 2 ^ 64 - 2 ^ 32 + 1 ), we're not quite there, and if we drop to ( 2 ^ 31 - 1 ), it's definitely not the case. Trying to fake a proof two billion times until one gets lucky is absolutely within the range of an attacker's capabilities.

> To stop this, we sample r from an extension field. For example, you can define y where y ^ 3 = 5, and take combinations of 1, y and y ^ 2 .

This reads like trying to increase entropy without adding entropy. Given the analogy of bruteforcing a low entropy preimage in a hash, Concatenating the secret preimage with itself, or adding capitalization on the second occurence etc. does not increase entropy, its just a constant factor in computational complexity which both attacker and defender suffer.

I am probably misunderstanding what's written, but I suspect its due to the unclear exposition...
We know the desired random distribution of the 3rd order real polynomials (a product of uniform random distributions say), and I believe we can work out the distribution of the subset that have linear roots only and the fraction of random real polynomials that have real roots, so the distribution for the polynomials with roots of type a, b, and conj b, comes from the (weighted) difference of these two, and leads to the joint distribution of a, b (because conj b is fixed given b).

I didn’t want to claim that a full proof is not going to be messy in the details, I just think that this type of construct makes me feel not surprised that the largest root is more likely to be real.

It feels like this problem must have been solved previously, probably in some physics context (maybe in areas related to applications of random matrix theory or dynamical systems).
“This ^” style comments work very poorly on a site that doesn't maintain temporal ordering of comments.
Your argument that it's correct to not give a shit about tests and security and encryption and memory leaks simply because lots of people are using the project is upside-down, extremely unprofessional, and downright dangerous.

He shipped, but he didn't meet his users or the Internet community's needs, because his users and the Internet at large need safe reliable systems that somebody's actually bothered running the existing unit tests on, instead of security theater, Dunning-Kruger evangelism, and knee-jerk apologetics like your defeatist and fatalistic acceptance and justification of the status quo.

Trotting out Win32 to justify PHP's flaws is pretty unhinged. I'm unsure you're not just a parody account. A serious person would realize they've run out of valid arguments and re-examine their priors before making such an embarrassingly bottom-of-the-barrel justification.

Thomas Midgley Jr. also shipped and made a lasting impact on the world. Changing the world is not the only measure of success, nor justification of harmful impact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.

>His legacy is one of inventing the two chemicals that did the greatest environmental damage. Environmental historian J. R. McNeill stated that he "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history." Author Bill Bryson remarked that he possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny." Science writer Fred Pearce described him as a "one-man environmental disaster".

Chat-first mode with embedded mind-maps in a multi-modal notes/PKMS app [video]
TL;DR:
Hi everyone, I am a solo-dev working on an early stage AI first Knowledge Management System called anyscribe.io (as a side-project currently). I had posted earlier here and got some great feedback. I really love this community!

I am sharing a new early stage exploration I am doing. (I request you to 2x the speed on the video to save your time). I look forward to hearing more feedback and thank you sincerely for the time! I have an early access waitlist at anyscribe.io

Video Summary: With anyscribe.io, alongside a GUI based system, you can use a chat-first approach to store and interact with your knowledge base! Meet Jeeves, your friendly assistant.

Share your videos, audio, whiteboard scribbles and text notes with Jeeves and and let it organise it all automatically for you. You can chat with Jeeves and glean insights from everything you've ever dumped, with chat also linking back to your info via interactive blocks. The interactive blocks can further help you visualise information in many forms (text to diagrams, whiteboard scribbles to diagrams, charts, presentations and more) .

You can also visualise all your info related to a particular topic using an embedded and interactive Mind-Map that can help you brain-storm better.

Totally agree. Well before AI issues the platform was turning a blind eye to low quality questions and answers, ones obviously written by people with limited experience and judgement, focused mainly on chasing completion targets over correctness.
Thanks for the laugh
Searching for keywords shouldn't be likely to hallucinate. And I would assume they would have a subsequent step to run a quick check to see they're really in the text. And if there is some issue, I suppose we can always fall back to something like TF-IDF.

The second part does seem more problematic, but still, as essentially a yes/no question, it should be significantly less likely to hallucinate/confabulate than for other tasks.
Besides what everybody says there is also slight difference between engines in terms how they behave.
I used to be “progaming” going on tournaments in quake 3 and then COD1 and 2. They are all on same quake engine and feel very similar with different timing.

The way of the counterstrike source engine feels is different in a way i never fully absorbed. Also the gunplay is different you might have the pure aim (aim at target and click) but im CS you have to compensate for the each gun and really know them. In quake it basically shoots where you point no matter if you are running or in middle of a jump. Other games have aiming down the sights. That is a lot more forgiving and transferable skill than in CS.
That has nothing to do with a particular language, you could use individual allocations in Zig and end up with the same mess. Similarly, you could use memory arenas in C/... and not have the problem.
As someone who has been diagnosed, it really bothers me when people tell me I'm not allowed to want to not be this way. For some people, it's a hell.
Because I've lost one laptop (RIP) to a crack in a motherboard brought on by repeated squashing and twisting, and my current notebook is creaking. Quite literally. Although I probably should simply stop tossing my laptop into a backpack, that's just how life goes. So something that absorbs that stress would be ideal!
> UniSuper was able to eventually restore services because the fund had backups in place with another provider.

That's the most important take away, I think. It applies universally.
Man Deguard definitely looks slick and the UI looks really nice!

I'd be super interested to know how they track "session state" as their do seem to rely very heavily on adding proxies and other additional software layers in front of the wireguard connection itself (https://defguard.gitbook.io/defguard/admin-and-features/wire...)

With wag specifically it's all just wireguard and a tiny bit of ebpf to do the management, along with tracking the external IP to determine if its time to re-challenge a user.
> a government could easily solve this virtually overnight in whichever given country by telling companies "single use plastics are banned as of x date, you will find an alternative and eat the cost or you will stop selling your product

People will find ways around this. The British government imposed minimum costs on plastic bags (they have to charge customers not give them out free), and sales of single use bags is down, but people are reusing reusable bags less to we are probably using more plastic: https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/no-plastic-bag-sales...
+1 for Spatial Computing here -- I see immersive here and just think 2D animations of 3D concepts, good start though it may be, is leaving possibilities on the table. 3D consumed inside a fully 6DOF 3D animated space is a better environment to transfer meaning. These collections of links could be piped into WebXR with just a little tweaking and really be immersive.

Well in a way, all small cafes compete with each other and it doesn't have to be about coffee (and definitely not about raw coffee prices as agri commodity, which are certainly <1% of their gross revenue). Somehow i have to pay twice as much for a burger in many joints, vs 15 years ago, about 1.5x as much for an espresso elsewhere, but exactly as much in Starbucks, and that gets me thinking.

This sounds very similar to Head- or Tailscale, nice to see some alternatives to managing wireguard networks. Is there a comparison anywhere to understand what functionality overlaps, what is added, what differs and what will perhaps never be implemented?
We've been using glusterFS in production for several years. It is slow and can be slow, especially when nodes experience higher network latency. When writes are synchronously executed across all the nodes we've seen higher load averages on servers.

However it has been working reliably. So for non-critical time constrained loads it's good enough.

> So while you may see videos of drones taking out tanks, they are often tanks that have already been killed and drones come in on an immobile target, etc.

Those tanks are immobilized by other drones or mines.

Yep, Ukraine uses more drones than RF in both absolute and relative terms, because Ukraine uses 10x less artillery shells.
That's a very misleading comparison. When Mozilla (upstream) axes a feature, it's gone permanently and you can't get it back.

Which is not the case here at all, here downstream turns off a feature in the default build, while simultaneously providing the fully featured version in a just as easily installable package.
Holy shit, this is incredible. Thanks for making it!
I guess I take it for granted that top research universities intend to directly serve top students and researchers, and the general public will benefit indirectly from the research they produce.

If you entirely reject the idea of meritocracy, then yeah, go nuts. Just hold a lottery and the 2,000 luckiest kids that year go to MIT.
But how confident can we really be that our thinking is categorically different?

I know that humans are doing more than interpolating, because at the rate we read and for the typical lifespan we have, we simply cannot ingest enough text to perform the sorts of tasks we perform by simple interpolation.

I also know that whatever our brains are doing, it isn't backpropagation, nor is it even remotely related to it. The inventor of backpropagation, Geoff Hinton, frequently points this out. Backpropagation is egregiously nonlocal.
Of course it is. In many countries there is tax on liquid assets. Thats why these people buy art, cars etc. Things the tax authority cannot easily identify. Its also easy to transport these goods to another country. Its easy to change the value temporarily so you can move funds arround very easily.
I know some people doing it and storing their stuff in Dubai. Tax evasion is number one reason.
I also chatted with Mr. Richards for a while, after porting BCPL to the GP2X handheld 'underground' gaming machine, and using BCPL to emulate an EDSAC on which I wanted to run XOX, thus claiming the title of 'oldest title to be ported to the GP2X', for a while.

Mr. Richards got himself a GP2X after a while, and then saw how folks were porting BCPL all over the place, and I think he kind of got a big kick out of that .. we fell out of touch, but it was really a worthwhile effort to port BCPL like that, and attract the attention of the master ..
>look at all the top-level comments on this HN post with no engagement, by users who have repeated the same pattern discussed about quora.

So responding to a post but not getting responses is the same as responding to slop with a financial incentive? I'm not sure I fully follow.

I only very slightly agree in the fact that I rarely make top level comments unless I feel I have something unique to share. And I know that's not necessarily a common enough sentiment (lest, very few people would make top level comments). But given how I usually check the front page or active, my retort 99% of the time is already posted elsewhere. Half the time it already has responses too. So most of my activity is more responding to other comments to try and start a discussion.

And ultimately that is my goal in a forum: 1) ask about and understand others' experiences and 2) try to share my own experinces where appropriate. I have my share of https://xkcd.com/386/ as well, so I'm not perfect in regards to "hearing myself speak" or falling for the occasional flamebait. But I'd like to think that most of my engagement no forums like this passes a few basic tests:

- does this comment contribute to the conversation?
- do I have a goal in mind with my comment? (e.g. if I'm asking a question, am I asking that user? Do I hope anyone at all chimes in with an answer? If I'm sharing a story, does this story hold potential value and lessons for the community?)
- Is the comment civil? Can I make this comment without involving the person (unless the person is the goal)?
