The first paragraph from the article linked in OP is:

> "The Dendra armor, one of the oldest suits of bronze armor ever found, had been considered a purely ceremonial piece. It seemed impossible to use in battle due to its cumbersome design."

Of course, this is completely false. It's more of a journalism problem than an issue with the study they're reporting on, of course.

> "Earlier experiments with replicas demonstrated its flexibility for use in combat but not its suitability for use in extended battle contexts [...]. Was it purely ceremonial [...]?"

This is a remarkably thin justification. If a set of armor can be used in combat, then its suitability for extended use hinges only on its weight and weight distribution. (Assuming the set doesn't include a closed helmet, as those can be troublesome in other respects; they can make it hard to breathe and hard to see.) A simple in silico ergonomics study, the kind that can be run in a single afternoon, could have answered their question. Though, admittedly, that would be less fun.

Heroku product here: the Essential 0 and 1 plans replace the older row-limited Heroku Postgres mini/basic plans at the same price points but better perf in a lot of scenarios and a storage instead of row limit - forcing people to denormalize for row count wasn't ideal under old mini/basic limits. The Essential-2 plan is a new option for a larger pre-prod/test/small-scale DB option above what we offered before.

We're expanding the Aurora-backed offerings to include larger dedicated DBs in the relatively near future as well.

Now I fall asleep listening to his 'drydock' Q&A episodes or lectures on historical campaigns, technologies, etc. & it's not really a problem at all anymore. It's been amazingly helpful.

I find the content interesting enough that I don't feel bored & restless, but not so urgent or exciting that it keeps me up. And I get multiple nights out of each episode by falling asleep fairly quickly

There is another problem with evaporative cooling in regards to the effect on climate: water vapor has an incredibly strong greenhouse effect. It's complicated though, because white clouds have the opposite effect: they reflect heat back into space. I have no idea how you could begin to calculate the net effect from additional humidity introduced into the environment, you would have to somehow figure out how much becomes just humidity and how much contributes to more cloud formation.

What One Man Learned Living Alone in the Wilderness for 40 Years
One thing about Framework is that it’s good enough that it’ll last a while, meaning recurring demand might take a few years to manifest. Hopefully they’ll able to survive on pure increase in customer base until the first round comes back for more. I have a very early batch of Framework 13 and I probably won’t be upgrading anything in the next 5 years unless something dramatically changes.
I don't really mean it in the quality of life sense as prison is pretty awful in most of the world, especially in developing countries.

The 13th amendment codifies slavery into our prison system and few things are as barbaric in my mind. It's basically a few small rungs down from sacrificing prisoners to Quetzalcoatl and the rain gods, which is graphic but no more dehumanizing. States with prolific death penalties just skip the religious angle.

I'm trying to square the claims in this article with what Microsoft says.

Article: "This database file has a record of everything you’ve ever viewed on your PC in plain text"

Microsoft: "Snapshots are encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker, which are enabled by default on Windows 11."

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy-and-cont...

The article is a little bit hand-wavy about how exactly the database comes to be decrypted and remotely exfiltrated. The headline says it takes "two lines of code" but unless I'm missing it, I don't see those lines discussed in the article.
That screenshot where the attacker agrees that buying their services would help makes me have a very strong suspicion this attack is either faked, sponsored by or in some way Hudson Rock is in cahoots with the attackers. That screenshot is a pure 100% advertisement manufactured by Hudson Rock one way or another.

As they usually say.. I'd check whoever is running Hudson Rock's hard drive.
US states are not fully sovereign. There is a simple test for that: can a state secede unilaterally. If not, states are subordinate to the federal government.

The original idea of the US was a decentralized state. The Union is the sovereign entity, while power rests with the individual states, unless explicitly given to the federal government. Over time, it became clear that you can't run a country like that in the modern world. Slowly, with creative interpretations of the Constitution, the federal government gained more and more power over the states.

One of the distinctive features of the actual US system is that it's often unclear which level of government has the authority to regulate a particular matter. Much of the political debate is about the constitutionality of laws and regulations, which may have been in force for decades. And controversial legislation often ends up in the Supreme Court, which may then decide that the state or the federal government did not have the authority to regulate that.
Back then Windows had already blessed Windows Installer packages (.msi), which could be installed unattended from the CLI. But, to be fair, many companies still preferred to use other installer tools, including sometimes Microsoft themselves (e.g. ClickOnce).

But there's been improvements. The winget CLI can now install and update several well-known applications, and even upgrade them when you first downloaded them any other way. There's also the MSIX package format, which is much closer to distro packages or mobile apps, can auto-update without a central repository and supports sandboxing.

Nowadays, even if still a bit hacky, I definitely consider Windows packaging less painful than the mess that is Linux distribution. Packages in distro repositories are regularly outdated, and every other package is installed misconfigured or has been patched in unclear ways by the distro maintainers; then there's Flatpak which make for gigantic installs with clunky sandboxing, or AppImages.

These tools are designed for and marketed to lawyers to use. These are not generalist LLM products. Your "this is why lawyers exist" statement makes no sense in the context of these products.

One of the models studied markets itself with "AI-Assisted Research on Westlaw Precision is the first generative AI offering from Thomson Reuters and will help legal professionals find the answers they need faster and with high confidence."

Another says "Most attorneys know Practical Law as the trusted, up-to-date legal know-how platform that helps them get accurate answers across major practice areas. Its newest enhancement, Ask Practical Law AI is a generative AI search tool that dramatically improves the way you access the trusted expertise from Practical Law."

A third says "Transform your legal work with Lexis+ AI"
What he is missing is that if the max. 3 pointer comparisons in (together with the function call of `Is`)

if err == nil || target == nil {
return err == target
}

are a "pretty big performance penalty", there isn't much work going on. I mean, of course, these 2 or 3 comparisons + the function call of `Is` are at least double that of

err != nil

even if `Is` would have been inlined by the compiler.
This is poorly written and completely nonsensical.

From the article:

Q. Have you exfiltrated your own Recall database?
A. Yes. I have automated exfiltration, and made a website where you can upload a database and instantly search it.

I am deliberately holding back technical details until Microsoft ship the feature as I want to give them time to do something. I actually have a whole bunch of things to show and think the wider cyber community will have so much fun with this when generally available.. but I also think that’s really sad, as real world harm will ensue.
It would be interesting to see if they could acquire the required compute to handle iPhone scale.

Encountering Strangers in Public Places: Goffman and Civil Inattention (2011)
The database is not encrypted while the system is running. Microsoft's claim that it's encrypted is due to the machine being encrypted at rest with Bitlocker.

The databases are plain-text sqlite files within the current user's %appdata% folder.

So, literally anything that can grab those files and put them somewhere else can qualify as exfiltration. Any backup product worth its salt would be covering these databases.
Unfortunately, the HN conversation structure, while great for technical discussions, does not function well for political discussions.

I wish there were a similar site for reasonable political debate, but the moderation required would probably be too expensive.
BitLocker encrypts the hard drive contents at rest, but while the system is booted, the drive is transparently decrypted. So what Microsoft says is technically true, but doesn't necessarily present any kind of barrier to the database being exfiltrated by malware. It only protects against somebody stealing your hard drive.
We're down hundreds of officers though. And we don't and haven't had a mayor interested in bringing up a new system to replace the completely corrupt one we have.

In error handling or even reporting status there seems to be a part of being unaware that using stdout or some other strategy is either designed incorrectly which leads to slowdowns or people don’t understand when to use it. Sure languages also have this slowdown or have some documentation about it but many people just use what seems to be correct.

I thought about it for a minute, and sure, given a chrome.exe HWND, I can't think of a way to tell if it's Incognito.[1] But companies work with important vendors on major features all the time. If they think it's important enough to exclude private windows in Edge, they surely could have worked with Google to figure out something.

> nor should there be, obviously, as it would defeat the purpose

No it doesn't. Incognito mode is about leaving no trace on disk, that's all. Recall is the one defeating that purpose right now, if TFA is accurate.

[1] Not saying it's impossible. Only that I can't think of a straightforward solution in a pinch with my limited Windows experience and hacking skills.

java has the "rootCause" constructor which wraps another Exception (actually Throwable) of any type passed in. so the idiomatic way would be to create your own error types, but to pass the lower-level exception in as the rootCause so you can trace the exceptions down the stack if desired. Since the type is Throwable rather than a dependency-specific exception, this isn't exposed in the interface unless you go out of your way to cast things in an obviously dangerous way.

Does that not exist in Rust?
What's odd is that I have the exact opposite: I find it uncomfortable to use megabytes of libraries with hundreds of dependencies when I can spend 30 seconds and discover the html5 native way of doing something. But my applications look butt ugly. They're fast and privacy preserving, but also it requires a special skill, from my point of view, to make them look good (be it design skills or knowing how to use these frameworks)

I thought about what you said. I don't think this is whataboutism. The people most responsible for the policies you most disapprove of in Israel are precisely the people who were victims of reprisal pogroms and ethnic cleansings in other countries.

I don't think my thesis is "Israel is right". My awareness of Israel started with them killing that activist with a bulldozer, and didn't go better places from there. I'm guessing we 80% agree about Israel.

I think my thesis is "no simple argument about Israel or Palestine will ever be true". Which is, to me, kind of fascinating, if you can get past the horror, which I understand people (on both sides) not being able to do. Also: I sound like a Bond villain right now.

In 2001, image sensors and the electronics to drive them were far larger then they are today, an endoscope-style fibre optic isn't necessarily ridiculous if you only had a tiny hole to sneak through a thick obstruction.

What you actually miss here is the fact that we're getting MORE ads all the time.

It doesn't stop because the shareholders demand more money.

It's not about how google wouldn't be able to exist. They can surely exist as a search engine. It's not that expensive. It's about how google is getting worse and worse because of the greed in this sick system. This is what people hate. There were ads from the beginning on, but it was never so bad as it has become today.

Besides that: advertising is stealing my attention. Not only on the internet (where I just use ublock) but everywhere else. It's a disease. It penetrates my brain. I never asked for this. I feel violated by this industry which single aim it is to do just that and as effective as possible.

I despise it.
