I just read about "MIRROR" for physical pain relief by neuroplasticity techniques: Mindful, Intention, Repetition, Relaxation, Optimism, and Resilience.

The book, The Brain's Way of Healing, suggests modest improvements in a (similar) framework result in more hope which turns into a virtous cycle. Sounds like an overlap with your comments on appreciation.
I agree and was going to say the same thing, so instead I'll elaborate on another angle. (Also—don't shorten to auth solves the vast majority of this debate.)

Some things in computer science are just plain "hard," and no amount of renaming or abstracting is going to solve it; you either need to take the time to understand it (i.e. learn authenticate = prove you who are, authorize = what are you allowed to do), or outsource the prob (e.g. "don't roll your own crypto").

Similar problems:

- Time. It's non-linear in calendar representations because of definition changes by humans. There are gaps in years trying to reconcile different calendars. There are leap seconds added based on scientific measurements, non-deterministic ways. Time zones enough confuse people. 99% of the time you can use something like "duration since 1970 UTC" (unix epoch) but you may eventually hit non-linearities if you try and say "once every 10 days" by doing 10 * secs / day.

- Names. Different all over the world. I won't even give examples because I'm still a bit confused, I recently learned that in parts of India first name and surname are reversed, so not even consistent in one country. Prob best to just put a "Name" field and a "Nickname / Display Name" field and let the user decide.

- Geodistance. The Earth is not a sphere, it's an "oblate ellipsoid" since the spinny makes the middle bulge. There are many ways to calculate distance between two coords and generally simple ones will work for majority of settlements. But if your customers are near the poles, or maybe include flight paths, etc the errors could be very significant. I've had this leak out in cases like Postgres where you can use the sphere approximation (much faster) or the proper calculationg (much slower) when running a query like "give me all points within a x mile radius".

Auth (hah!) is just another one intrinsically difficult concept that's not made more complex by language and can't be simplified away.
It's not a nothingburger.

This is a particularly amusing example of one of several known failure modes for this sort of models. Pointing at another model and saying "this didn't fail on that particular input" doesn't change that it's a systemic problem. When the particular failure is the model thinking that "coat" means a piece of clothing, or that it doesn't notice the lack of spots, it's obvious enough a problem that the human operator can detect and work around, but, until we actually solve these issues, it's reckless to the point of negligence to ignore the problem and deploy these tools in unsupervised contexts.

Having an understanding of what was wrong with me was an important part of understanding how to fix it, or more properly, how to work around it.

I struggle plenty with depression and anxiety in the mental-illness sense of those words (as opposed to the current-emotional-state sense). What that means is that my brain is always over-sensitive to negatives and assumes bad outcomes in cases of ambiguity, to a degree that isn't rationally justifiable. I can't control that fact; it doesn't occur on a conscious level and those are inputs to my cognition, not outputs of it.

But what I can do is recognize that because I am helpless to change those inputs, I need to know that they're warped and know how to compensate for them. I know that my brain will serve me aggressively negative examples and downplay positive ones, so I needed to practice both (a) not listening to it and (b) consciously recalling positive examples to counterbalance it. I know my brain will make me nervous and jittery, so I needed to consciously train myself to think "okay, even if I totally screw this up, it isn't the end of the world". I know I tend to avoid things that scare or stress me, so I needed to train myself to confront or remove them.

What my brain tells me still "feels" right to me, and it probably always will, and in that sense I cannot not have the mental health struggles I do. They are, in that sense, cognitively incurable (and so far I have not found a medication that lastingly cures them either). But understanding the fact that that is a fundamental part of the mental world in which I live has given me a lot of tools to do better than I could in the past.
I disagree. I expect industrial civilization will continue indefinitely, meaning, we will continue manufacturing cute special-effect gizmos, and having fancy concerts with millions of dollars in special-purpose manufactured goods, and people will continue to have fun.

That's what sustainable means.
Magit does that and this is super useful indeed!
Thanks for the correction. Not sure what myth you're talking about. Goats are one of the main seed dispersers at this point and overgrazing can even be a problem. Goats do also climb argan trees naturally for fruit, but I looked it up and there is an issue of herders purposefully trying to put many goats into a tree for tourists to take pictures. I'd imagine you wouldn't see a whole dozen of them in a tree like this if they're just grazing alone but they certainly can and do climb trees for fruit. Argan isn't even the only tree they're known to do this with
Not a good analogy.

“Permission” and “persistence” have the same prefix but entirely different semantics. They also occur more commonly in everyday life.

AuthN and AuthZ are similar in in spelling, appear in similar contexts, and are less colloquial, making the distinction a lot less clear.

It has learnt all sorts of invariances, almost certainly also that.

This was the first thing I did and I intuitively thought it would be able to do it.

An invariant isn’t the same thing as a purple giraffe. One is an image manipulation applied at training time to make the classifier robust against transformations. The other is a thing that might someday exist in nature. (The most straightforward way is to dump a barrel of wine over the giraffe and take a photo.)
MSVC's C++ exceptions are based on Win32 exceptions, and are visible from an SEH handler. They're thrown via RaiseException() with an exception code of 0xE06D7363.

Ops here, bored is good. Bored means it's working properly and it's a solved problem. Also, I haven't seen a good alternative outside ConfigMgr like Puppet/Chef/Ansible or something like Nix which has another set of problems. Containers work well enough and their positives vastly outweigh negatives in most cases.

It's also a solvable problem for most part. If you have a set of packages almost all the software needs, someone should probably create base image for everyone with everything pre-installed so your dockerfile starts with FROM companybaseimage:latest

Context, as it seems to have been missed:

>For reasons*, there's a soft limit on the scale that you'd expect structures** to scale to.

The content you cited acknowledges the premise of the Cosmological Principle, but it does not say anything about what these "reasons" could be.

So, nope, that's not an adequate argument.

Again, I could waste my time on a PhD in Cosmology to come back and actually make a good argument for why homogeneity in structure is favored at large cosmological scales ... but why should I? I didn't bring that particular argument into the conversation [1].

One thing to keep in mind m about LockBit ransomeware was it was SaaS — errr RaaS — and there is a good chance the target was picked by an insider there, or it was at least some opportunistic hacker not really associated with those who provided the service, besides signing up as an affiliate.

LockBit was so successful partly because they didn’t have to hack anyone themselves. It was basically something advertised “Got SSH or RDP access? Let’s make a bunch of money.”

This attracted hackers who might not trust themselves to do the extortion part safely, as well as people who didn’t actually hack anything but hated their boss, wanted a payday.
I can tell you from experience that leaving my EV to charge in my driveway overnight is way, way more convenient than stopping for gas (and paying a lot more for it).

I drive a lot, and I’ve ran into a situation only once where I had to find a charging station away from home. It just doesn’t happen nearly as often as people worry.
I think "follow the money" is a decent heuristic here. Why else would anyone do it?

Yeah this is what I do to. The OP's approach is interesting but I think that using typescript/javascript/whatever to build your app, then "render" using a build step (like `vite build` or whatever) and embedding the resulting static bundles is the best of both worlds.

That said, the JS ecosystem is so weird that I totally understand the urge to bail entirely and do things in Go. But JS/TS and all the related frameworks really are decent if you pick a reasonable subset of them.

> if you think "I already have to do JWT so I don't save anything by not using them everywhere" rebuts the post

I have never believed that and I don't think my comment ever suggested I did, I mentioned "you might have jwt-handling tooling already" as one concern among many, not an entire argument. It really seems like you've honed in on a single point and, as you would say, misapprehended my comment. That one argument is not reason alone to use JWT and I really don't think my original comment ever implied I thought it was the entirety of the topic.
Not taking a side in this debate, but what is ownership? As far as I can tell it is an invented concept and has no objective truth, only a "truth that we all agree on".
>Crumbling infrastructure is also contributing to the problem. About 40% of Mexico City's water is lost due to leaky pipes and other issues, the Post reported.

Similar issues in many places, pipes build ages ago and no maintenance done in decades.
It makes a pretty big difference whether you have to send the secret down the wire to prove you possess it (e.g. a JWT, unlike say a private key).
I'm a kagi subscriber, and I haven't heard of the "expert" feature, nor am I able to find it in their AI documentation. Is there a comprehensive list of features somewhere that I'm missing?
Maybe we will understand when an AI becomes depressed.
If I have to run a separate DB to check for revocations, why not skip JWTs and just use that separate DB for auth directly.
Maybe because Lua is an easy and interpreted programming language for beginners ?

Maybe such a big solution is not needed for tiny sized projects ?

Maybe we don't need fatty big executables for the ease of deployment ?
For anyone interested, here is the issue about auto-reloading.

I'm not trying to argue, lol. You're asking for more information but in such a weirdly aggressive way.

The reason there is a soft limit (in our current theories) is because of the cosmological principle

As much as I love HN, this type of aggressiveness and desire to converse as if defending a dissertation can get bloody exhausting.
That would be a great feature the only places I use WiFi besides home/work is the airport/plane, hotels, and occasionally other offices or people’s homes. There is no need to be broadcasting driving/walking around etc.
I see zero evidence for any of that.

Science has a long history of proposals based on various fudge factors. Some of those fudge factors disappear when we get better measurements. Some require learning more about the system. For example Newton's theory of sound was consistently wrong until Laplace figured out how adiabatic heating changed things. Some require learning more about the physics. For example Einstein got rid of the need for a fudge factor for figuring out Mercury's orbit. Some require proposing new physics.

When dark matter is called a fudge factor, that is absolutely technically correct. It *IS* a fudge factor. It is a fudge factor that explains a whole lot of stuff, at the cost of requiring something new whose nature we have no real clue about. This isn't conspiracy theory. This is how science works. It is how science is supposed to work.

It's current status is much like that of the neutrino when it was first proposed. A particle we can't think of a way to detect in any way other than the fact that it is required for conservation laws to work out. As it happens, we did eventually figure out how to detect it. But only through discovering then-unknown physics (chain reactions), and building detectors which required a budget that was unthinkable for physics back when the neutrino was proposed in 1930.
For 2000 kcal of net calories, it is recommended that up to 35% of the calories come from protein, which translates to about 175g of protein. That's the upper bound, but the theory is that one maintains this level of protein while keeping a 1500 kcal of intake with weight training, so weight loss won't be lean muscles.
