I gave the image to GPT-4o through the Kagi Expert interface. It gives you a description of the image before you ask any questions about it. The initial description did not include anything about the lack of spots, but when I prompted it with the same follow up message from the article "Provide a detailed description of the image and its most distinctive features." it gave me a lot of details, including the lack of spots on the giraffe.
Thank you for the nerd-snipe, but thank goodness others had done the reverse engineering otherwise this would have been a long night...
This doesn't exactly strengthen the museum's case against returning artifacts.
If I ever interview at Cloudflare and get this question I might answer with "call the sales team and have them fix it by selling someone an enterprise subscription paid upfront by the decade" just to see if the interviewers read Hacker News :P
You pronounce the last letter as a second syllable: authn is "auth-in" and authz is "auth-zee" (probably "auth-zed" in non-American English).
"Processed". Did you personally see their "near instant end"?

There is a very humane way to kill mammals actually: inert gas asphyxiation. A pig will happily enter a chamber full of nitrogen and die peacefully. If you arranged that then it's commendable. Personally meat is nowhere near important enough to me to go to such lengths, though.
I can't really tell you the why, but they're different implementations with different bugs.
Identification and authentication are different, though. You identify yourself to a website as a specific user (e.g. using a username) and the website in turn authenticates your claim, i.e. verifies that you are in fact the user you claim to be (e.g. using that user's password).
The idea of being way out on the open water, and pulling up your anchor and finding that it is bringing up some giant steel-wrapped black cable up out into view as you look over the edge of your boat, going off in either direction downward into the seemingly infinite deep water... brings up some crazy weird primal fear [1] in me. I wouldn't even want to touch it, let alone haul the cable onboard and cut it. I'd cut loose the anchor chain and hope to see the thing again.

If we are doing straight comparisons, London is comparable cost of living to NYC and SF.

20k USD was not livable for either of those cities.
Oh sorry, I guess that makes it a very detailed and well though-out response.
Very cool! I’ve been to a few shows with these and was pretty enthralled with the level of effects that are possible given the

Of course he's not a professional scientist!!!

To be one you have to partake in academic politics, with its legendarily low stakes, in a publish or perish environment ... for little more than minimum-wage.
Yeah but it's hard to understand unless doing a lot with auth. Indeed "don't roll you own crypto" but you don't need a PhD in Mathematics to roll you own auth. Sometimes it's necessary and even if not, it's good to know what could need work.
yup, no sympathy for "British Museums".
No, this is about preventing unwanted jamming/interference by a transmitter on frequencies it isn't intending or needing to transmit on as part of the design phase of a product. Overcoming intentional jamming is an entirely different ballgame.
isn't there a way to unflag content for a mod.. Just, asking for my friend..
Me thinks, too, its kind of strange to have something in the guidelines about not deleting posts and just do that on purpose by some who's there for enforcing of the rules, instead of the using the mod's power to unflag it (..just a suspicion)
We carry a physical analog of this in real life: work badge. My policy-enforced visible picture identifies who I am and that I match that photo and also gatekeeps me into and out of places I'm allowed to enter.

> terminology implies that the two concepts, authentication and authorization, are more closely related than they are ... There are some links ... because what you can do is tied to who you are. But they're also very different

AuthZ being entirely dependent on AuthN is not "some links". That's an unbreakable dependency.

I can agree that these two words being a single letter apart are easy to conflate though. But as they are related, we're more likely to increase training/education around the concept rather than rename them.
Two ways, default key is [IP address + User ID] we also have a fallback with a higher limit on [IP address] only when we expect lots of attempts from e.g. a VPN.
I think any Linux distro that work out of the box is optimal, so you won't need to fix things right at the start like WiFi driver is incorrect.

In my opinion don't look at Asahi Linux based distros. Too much configurability and sometimes you just want to code. That's including Manjaro Linux since it's almost like Debian only with pacman and with even more bloat.
If you really want, you can avoid JS for drop down menus too. I've seen the CSS hover [1] and the summary/details [2] approach before. My recent sites use Bulma for all the styling, so the only JavaScript I'm using is the toggle for the navbar burger icon on small screens [3].

Former Pentagon deputyCIO Rob Carey on guardrails that should steer Fed Agencies
The study itself [0] makes a stronger claim:

When any antigen breaches the skin barrier, the local immunologic response
includes cell-mediated translocation of the antigen to the local lymph nodes
from where a systemic immune response is initiated. The translocation of tattoo
ink seems to be very effective; it has been estimated that 32% of the injected
pigment is translocated after 6 weeks, and that as much as 99% may become
translocated over time.

In clinical settings, pigmented and enlarged lymph nodes have been described in
tattooed individuals for decades. Translocation of both black and coloured
tattoo pigments to human lymph nodes has been confirmed, as have depositions of
metal particles from tattoo needle wear.

That is - it's not just during the healing period, and that it's been confirmed rather than a hypothesis.

I covered that. Edge routers transition 1.x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x as a default, and x.x.x.x to 1.x.x.x.x. This is an interim change, so that ipv4 can communicate to ipv4 forever. Legacy systems can be supported on ipv4 only, relegating them (just as they are now!) to not having access to that new address space.
Starlink's laser system is already up and running. Back in January it was delivering over 42 petabytes per day:

“We're passing over terabits per second [of data] every day across 9,000 lasers,” SpaceX engineer Travis Brashears said today at SPIE Photonics West, an event in San Francisco focused on the latest advancements in optics and light. "We actually serve over lasers all of our users on Starlink at a given time in like a two-hour window.”
Are you saying Google engineering books are excellent?
That would have been an excellent addition to that comment.
These low effort posts are against the HN guidelines and also not terribly clever.
1. Not a reason to avoid discussion. More than that, we have enough of a picture as this blog post shows with its blizzard of supporting links.

2. It's on the nose, though.

3. The truth is often unkind, especially for con-men. It's like listing out all the crap Bernie Madoff or SBF pulled and then saying "it's unkind" to list those things out.

4. The author is sounding an alarm of rationality. Again, we have enough of a picture, and there is enough at stake to discuss things that are happening in public, in front of the world, to the public.
Yes, but this is to aid in a proper transition. All old ipv4 addresses will route fine, using this method.
Telegram does not support group message encryption, and encryption is off by default for direct messages.

If the interviewer expects you to answer entire design question in 3 seconds, that interview is pretty broken. Those questions should take longish time (minutes to tens of minutes), and should let candidate showcase their thought process.
Looks nice. Willing to give it a try, but it wasn't clear what kind of search it does... this is really important for me: on one side searching for text inside images, and the other being able to do smart searches (not just matching words)
Yeah me too, but then I actually read the (very short) article, which immediately addresses that and not much else.

Better title would be 'instead of authz & authn ...' to make that clear, because it does just sound like they haven't heard of the concept at first.
> It’s cost of living in more-or-less on par with cities like New York and San Francisco

More like Chicago in my limited experience, but the pre-tax salaries are way lower in London than for similar roles in the US.

I never understood how people can afford to live in London by the late 2010s/early 2020s.

> It’s substantially higher than the rest of the UK, and minimum wage in London has generally been higher than the rest of the UK (either in law, or as a de-facto standard, with companies paying a “London bonus”)

Ofc, I'm just assuming London used to be relatively cheaper 20+ years ago and the cost of living ratio was not as bad then compared to today.

Like Tower Hamlets seemed to have only started gentrifying in the early 2000s.
Tattoo ink is not a food or a drug and is not intended to treat or diagnose any disease or medical condition.
I'm not seeing it... can you clearly explain specifically what scenarios your not-IPv4 deployment strategy enables that doesn't exist with IPv6 today?

(If you're going to say "not-IPv4 local network with IPv4 ISP", then clearly explain how the not-IPv4 local network is supposed to get its not-IPv4 address, and why that is materially different from existing IPv6 tunnel options.)

In said benchmark the function threw an exception 3906 / 1000000 = 0.4% of the time and it was from 10 to 32 times (edit: 73.2 times on my Mac Mini M1) slower on average. 9% would be much worse.

EDIT: updated the ratio to reflect the GP comment instead of the SO post.

You should re-read the article. Your interpretation doesn't align with my takeaway from it, and I'm curious why that is.

The article mirrored my advice. Their number one golden rule was padded shorts: "Endura’s Pro SL bib shorts, which use silicone in the pad to prevent "bottoming out," unlike foam."

I suggested investing in a good pair of women's padded cycling underwear without specifying a brand. I've never even heard of the Endura brand.

I do think you downvoted for me being trans.

Have you looked at Neovide? It's very similar to this, a cross-platform Rust based GUI front end for neovim. Neovide is really quite nice; it's beautifully rendered.

https://neovide.dev

My primary use case for Neovide (vs neovim running in Wezterm/kitty/Alacritty) is simply so I can Alt/Cmd-TAB to it quickly as I usually run with many terminal windows open and it's somewhat of a chore to locate the one with nvim in it, whereas with Neovide I have a separate app with an icon in the dock/sysmenu to switch to.

The article is from August, 2023. Of course AI's can do it now; they are trained on lots of articles written about the spotless baby giraffe. The point is whether or not they were able to do it before humans had analyzed it.

> They also didn't check if other stars would form circles from any arbitrary point of view (how many circles are actually up there, not just the apparent ones),

I think (not sure of the proof) that any set of points that form a circle from a specific PoV would, from any arbitrary PoV form a regular shape (ellipse) or a straight line.

So we can probably tell if any group of stars/galaxies/bright-lights-in-the-sky form a "structure" (i.e. a regular shape).

right so then the argument is less about "should you use JWTs" and more about "should you use stateless session tokens".

> JWTs are motivated by migrating authN into its own independently-scaled microservice

that's definitely one use-case, although I don't actually think having auth in a separate microservice under your own custody is the dominant use-case. The auth being in an entirely separate database means PII is in an entirely separate database, which can be a useful access control mechanism, or in the case of using a third-party auth service, means that there is no PII in databases under your custody at all. It makes the situation of "developers can access all data created by the software that they work on" really easy to implement while also maintaining "developers do not have access to all of the PII" as an access barrier. I think "I just use Auth0/FusionAuth and don't think about it" is actually the dominant use-case, and every third party offering that kind of developer experience utilizes stateless session tokens to make that happen.

> If you just use your framework session system, you don't ever think about refresh tokens.

right, but now the problem of keeping PII data access rules separate from your application domain data is an additional thing you have to engineer and think about securing, so I think the article is underestimating some of the negatives of that tradeoff; I've never seen a framework with a built in session system that did a good job of keeping access to the PII separate from the application data.
> The content I will like best will not be popular. If that is true then it is hopeless for me because of the scaling properties of the assumptions of the system and incentives for users of the system.

I don't understand. The content you want is accessiblto you and anyone who wants it, where is the scaling problem ?

Interesting journey.
You're saying that they are almost identical because they share the first 4 letters.... That's a pretty low bar.
And the other 50% is concentrated power of will.
Actually I do have a plausible mechanism whose numbers have been sanity checked by a couple of cosmologists, but has never been published.

Here's the idea. The expansion of the universe is currently accelerating. If this continues indefinitely, we get the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip model. What happens if the Big Rip proceeds to the point where a lot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy gets released, and that release stops the Rip by creating the next Big Bang? This could form a cycle since the next Bang creates cosmos that in turn will Rip.

It doesn't sound entirely crazy to me. The Casimir effect shows that you should release vacuum energy when you constrain the volume that a particularly bit of space can interact with. The incredible expansion of a Rip should constrain such interactions. So a large release of vacuum energy seems expected. And who knows how releasing vacuum energy interacts with the acceleration of the expansion of the universe?

Let's do a back of the envelope estimate. Theory estimates vacuum energy at something like 10^113 joules per cubic meter of vacuum energy. For comparison the visible universe is estimated at 10^53 kg. Using Einstein's E = mc^2, that's around 10^70 joules. Current cosmological models say that at the hottest part of the Big Bang, the universe must have already been larger than a cubic meter. Yes, there is a lot of energy not in the form of visible matter. Even so, there's a lot of room for a release of vacuum energy to explain the energy density needed at the beginning of a Big Bang.

We at least pass the most basic sanity check.

This would offer interesting answers to some key cosmological questions.

Current Big Bang models struggle with how a large volume started out very uniform. Inflation has been proposed for this, but it has some problems. But in this model, extreme uniformity over a large volume is predicted. If you add in quantum fluctuations starting the vacuum release, that have spread out before we go from Rip to Bang, then you can also explain arbitrarily large structures in the universe.

This also explains the arrow of time. How could we start off with such low entropy when entropy is always increasing? Well as the universe expands, entropy increases. But volume increases faster. We wind up with a giant universe filled with very low entropy/volume. When a small piece of that forms a new Big Bang, it again starts with very low entropy.

Unfortunately, this involves an insane lack of conservation of energy. But GR provides no easy way to even state what conservation of energy means. At least not outside of limited classes of models. Which this is not one of. So the idea of energy not being conserved at cosmological scales is at least not entirely unprecedented by current theory.

I don't hate Elon because I don't think about Elon beyond commenting on the occasional article he happens to be referenced in and shaking my head when I see him do something stupid. I'm glad he put money towards both projects (Tesla/Space-X) and got them off the ground, and now I wish he would just leave them both alone and let adults run the show.

Yes, he literally took ownership of making the call for a concrete pad despite the engineers telling him it was going to fail.

https://thenext30trips.com/p/scrappy-special-edition

>Elon was clear that the decision to fly in that configuration with no water or diverter was his call, and in this case it almost destroyed the pad, accelerated the rocket’s failure, and led to the program being grounded pending FAA review.

Just like he was the one who insisted on a yoke without progressive steering in the Model S that is absolute garbage and quite frankly dangerous, and any real engineer would have told him if he had cared to ask.
> the fast orbit of Proxima implies it is gravitationally unbound given the visible mass of A and B

A 6T hard drive and Pandas will cost you a couple hundred bucks, one time purchase, and then last you for years (and several other data analysis jobs). It also doesn't require that you be connected to the Internet, doesn't require that you trust 3rd-party services, and is often faster (even in execution time) than spooling up BigQuery.

You can always save an intermediate data set partitioned and massaged into whatever format makes subsequent queries easy, but that's usually application-dependent, and so you want that control over how you actually store your intermediate results.

These are widely-used industry terms that have been used for decades. If that was a problem, surely we would have seen it by now?

Replacing terms - that have been around so long that many systems' behaviors map to them closely - with new terms that don't quite overlap seems wildly more likely to create ambiguity and confusion.
Because it's a conspiratorial mindset that willfully ignores the long list of other evidence for dark matter in favor of mocking physicists who are doing their best to make sense of confusing observations. That's exactly the kind of thing that downvotes are meant for.

This is a misleading headline; he's removed himself from the some of the CODEOWNERS file entries on Github (he's still on asyncio), which governs whose signoff you need to merge a PR. It's not even clear this is really news.

No aspect of the actual "ownership" of Python's code has changed.
In a way, a midlife purchase is more smart financially than an early life purchase.
