Interestingly - I don’t think vanguard’s anti-cheat really requires a TPM yet? At least not on windows 10. I wonder why cheaters aren’t just sticking to windows 10?

Although I think they are doing other means of identifying hardware as well- and they are rolling out hardware-bans much more broadly in general I think.

I don’t think my main computer has a TPM, and vanguard has been at least somewhat “functional”. “Functional” only meaning that it lets me play. It has caused intermittent blue screens, which windows directly blames on Vanguard’s vgk.sys, and also it seems to kill some other driver every time I boot my PC. I’m really considering quitting League of Legends, but most of my close friends are still playing. I never noticed issues with cheaters at my skill level, and this anti cheat is so invasive, always running at startup.

Riot can claim it “doesn’t do anything unless you are in-game” but that’s not true at all. On boot every time it pops up basically saying “we killed some other service you had running. Hope that wasn’t important!” I have to reinstall and reboot any time I want to play their game now, because I’ve been uninstalling the anticheat each time I’m not playing.
Show HN: Who is hiring? Tech adjacency table viz
Hi All,

After reading Part 1 of the Hypermedia Systems book [0] I wanted to see if I could make an interactive data viz with just HTML and CSS.

Here is the initial result which shows a technology adjacency table for job openings posted to the Ask HN: Who is Hiring? thread (May 2024)

https://ludicrousdisplay.github.io/HN/whoishiring202405.html

Rows and columns correspond to one or more related technologies. Values in the table show the number of job postings that mention the technologies corresponding to the cell's given row and column.

Clicking on a row header or table cell will display a list of matching job postings. Clicking on the text in the top left corner of the table displays the job postings that do not reference any of the technologies in the table.

This is a first step, proof of concept, so I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the approach. I plan to produce another viz for the June Who is hiring? thread towards the end of next week.

Iteration cycle of strongly typed languages can be very short too, if you pick the right technologies. Rust (and c++), unfortunately, has pretty long compile times compared to, say, Go.

The problem with loosely typed languages is that you don't find out until runtime that you have a problem. And if the problem is inside an if statement that users only hit 1% of the time, you might not find it at all except in the form of users very occasionally complaining that it sometimes crashes unexpectedly.
I think they are. Rust is a general purpose programming language, and Lua is a language specifically designed to be embeddable. But that means if you're making a project that embeds Lua, like Factorio for example, you have the choice of what language you write the code in. The choice is whether to write a function as native or to write it in Lua, and that choice might not be super clear unless someone else already made that choice for you.

This is completely different than assembly vs PHP. Assembly is a 'don't use it unless you have to' programming language, while PHP is a programming language designed for website building. You wouldn't use assembly to make a website because there are no frameworks for it and you'll scream and cry. You wouldn't use PHP to write the entrypoint to your operating system because PHP can't do that.

Rust and Lua are a lot closer together than PHP and assembly and it often would be reasonable to compare these languages for the same problems. It's not relevant at all to the blog post though because the engine they're using is built for Lua, and it's not really up to them unless they want to work against the engine and try to use a different language.

It provides a standardized interface.

This is just a long-winded way of saying it's popular. It's popular, therefore people know it, therefore they view whatever it does as "the standard." Kind of like... MS Windows?

It is based on checking features.

The feature-checking approach is slow and makes cross-compilation unnecessarily difficult. Plus a lot of the "features" that auto-conf checks for are things that haven't been an issue for decades, like "sizeof char"
I did say "mostly" for a reason. A few months after the FBI director made those comments the Director of National Intelligence (who oversees the FBI and the rest of the US intelligence community) released a report reiterating that an animal origin was most likely and that there wasn't evidence of a lab leak. The Wikipedia article[1] on the lab leak theory will summarize it better than I can:

> In February 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported that the US Energy Department, based on new intelligence, had shifted its view from "undecided" to "low confidence" that the pandemic originated with a lab leak. In the intelligence community, "low confidence" means the information is sourced to low-quality or otherwise untrustworthy sources. In the wake of these reports, FBI Director Christopher Wray reiterated the bureau's assessment, saying that the Government of China was doing its best to thwart any investigation. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan responded to the report saying "some elements of the intelligence community have reached conclusions on one side, some on the other. A number of them have said they just don't have enough information to be sure", and there was still "no definitive answer" to the pandemic origins' question. The reassessment renewed the political debate around the issue in the US.

> In June 2023, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declassified their report on the virus' origins, in compliance with an Act of Congress compelling it to do so. The report stated that while the lab leak theory could not be ruled out, the overall assessment of the National Intelligence Council and a majority of IC assets (with low confidence) was that the pandemic most likely began as a zoonotic event. No evidence was found that SARS-CoV-2 or a progenitor virus existed in a laboratory, and there was no evidence of any biosafety incident. Proponents of the lab leak hypothesis reacted by accusing the agencies of conspiring with the Chinese, or of being incompetent. Covering the story for the Sydney Morning Herald, its science reporter Liam Mannix wrote that the US report marked the end of the lab leak case, and that it had ended "not with a bang, but a whimper".

I live in Texas where it can also get to over 110°, and I have never seen anyone do this. We've all done the open the door, jump in to start the car, crank the AC, roll down the windows too. You gotta exhaust that baked air inside. It's so bad you avoid touching the car with bare hands. But again, not once would I think wasting water on the car would be a good idea or even a good thing to do.
I immediately thought temperature and humidity.

But of course correlation yada yada causation.
The optimum risk level is never zero. There comes a point where the cost of averting the risk is greater than the cost of the risk.

Consider my standard example of this: electric power. We insist nuclear plants be insanely safe, making them uneconomic, making us use far more dangerous sources of power instead.
This is a great example of why the age of truly terrible software is going to be ushered in as LLMS get better.

When the cost of complexity of interacting with an API is paid by the LLM, optimizing this particular part of software design (also one of the hardest to get right) will be less fashionable.

Cool, so it seems like a rather universal core intuition of human consciousness :)

It also makes sense thinking about our own creation:

- we were made by our parents (and our experience in the world)

- our matter/energy has always been here (or so it seems)

- we feel alive and can interact with our environment and other things seemingly alive or not (rocks, etc)

Btw, if we are alive and made up of matter that was already here, what separates us from non-living things?

2. The things that you like can sometimes be a real challenge. For same try different things everyday, even a 5 min effort in a new thing will keep you up.

3. Don't root for quick happiness in whatever you do, sometimes its fun to fail in trying many things.
Another false equivalence, not at all the same as in the West. This is government censorship scrubbing all search results from pre-2005. That Google update made it harder to search for groups that had put out misinformation and scammy SEO stuff, like googlebombing ("miserable failure" returns George W. Bush).

If you want to stop fake news, it only takes 1 law.

You can still publish whatever you want, but if the word "news" appears in the page then you must provide links to all original sources.

You claim a source told you that POTUS will have a press conference today? I want a video of the conversation you had with that source and full documentation of who spoke with who, where, when, and under what circumstances.

Oh, it's an anonymous source and you put it on a web page that says it's news? That's 6 months in confinement for whoever did that. Someone will serve 6 months if it means hunting down every last stockholder.

Problem solved.
>except it mentions COVID-19 so it obviously isn't.

Perhaps it was just updated?

I generally ignore/ get annoyed by articles that don't have a date/ updated on, on the byline.
While that seems prudent, at the same time for how many years have we been beholden to russian launches because we didn’t have an american system at all after the shuttle? Seems like the sky didn’t fall during that time despite only one launch system we had to go to Kazakhstan to borrow. Kind of hard to justify the cost to the tax payer when the benefit they get is effectively zero since no new capabilities are present really: we could launch people to iss before and we can do that now too.
It doesn't really add up. The schedule was always uncertain. Why not postpone? Why a big announcement only a year and a half ago? Seems pretty cruel to all the people selected to take the trip...
Yes, also referred to as “Assured Access.”
> Clearly SpaceX already won, NASA should just pull the plug on Boeing.

That would cost NASA a lot more money than continuing.

The contract is task order based. Boeing (and SpaceX) get paid for reaching some milestones, but mostly for launching the actual operational missions, of which Boeing is currently contracted for 6. Boeing had to front the development money for the system, and then gets paid back when they actually fly. This is in contrast with the traditional cost+ contracting, where Boeing just tallies costs and gets paid that plus a fixed profit margin.

At this point, Boeing has reached all the milestones and gotten paid for them, but hasn't flown any of the operational missions, and has spent billions more than they've been paid to develop the system. If NASA cancels now without a clear reason listed in the contract, Boeing has a clean case for contract violation against them, and can sue for the spent development money. Delays are not an appropriate reason, so long as Boeing isn't unduly endangering the crew they can just keep trying. But they are not getting paid any money from NASA for any of this, every day that the program continues but they are not launching the actual paid 6 missions, they are just wasting their own money.

Abstract Types Have Existential Type (1988)
Here ya go!

===========

Why yes an astronaut has had diarrhea while on the ISS. And it was me!

Getting diarrhea in outer space was certainly not on my bucket list. It was, however, a normal… and qualified “pain in the rear (see what I did there?!).”

It was early in my 5-month stay aboard the International Space Station. Not sure what brought it on —guessing food— my symptoms began to occur as I was sleeping in the U. S. Lab module. Waking sometime around 2 a.m. Greenwich time (the time zone used for our daily schedules), I knew what was coming. And it was coming fast! I sailed down to the Russian Service Module —the only toilet on the station back in 2007— and entered the tiny enclosed area short of panic, but with very high anxiety.

After quietly closing the sliding door, I fired up the Russian-designed toilet. I was actually grateful for the late hour, as I was hoping this would ensure that my two Russian crewmates (Oleg and Fyodor) would remain asleep… leaving me to my own devices.

Ultimately, I would be successful in my crisis-laden endeavor. After using two of the toilet system’s plastic bags (for collecting the fecal matter), and only one rubber glove, my symptoms subsided for a time. This allowed me the opportunity to quietly clean everything up, power-down the system, and fly back to the U. S. segment. It was there that I quickly broke open the American medical kit. Concealed beneath the module’s floor, under a large “door” adorned with the easily recognizable red cross symbol, I used its table of contents to locate the medication I so desperately needed. Immodium AD was —thank God— available for my use, and I followed the dosage recommendation to the letter. I would never have diarrhea again… in space anyway!

Will AI Automation Render Data Science Jobs Obsolete?
I've never heard of people having trouble sorting out good from bad papers, but maybe you're in a field where that's the case.
I have my 3 years of paper, I wanted to use it to experiment building a black mass program. A blackmass program is a concept which will yield to a black mass in the computer, capable of building conceptual cool tech like automating your daily work, self experimentation, self learning etc.

My notes will have instructions to reach the black mass state, a computer image scanner will try to learn my handwritings, take them as instructions, connect dots etc.

The design of this system is cryptic and challenging. because, side effect to create a computational program will result in a circling thoughts for me. And its hard for me to convert it into an action.

Taking that as an inspiration, this program is a circling program, which means, it will constantly spiral upwards in a value that is definitive to its actions in the past.

All my notes has information or points or ideas about this fictional concept. I burned the notes which were repetitive, kept the rest.

When I did that, It created more head space for me. The headspace, helped to solve problems and have more space for more learnings.
You mean terms like carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma? You're correct oncologists do talk in fairly advanced terms as you've described.

We laypeople use general terms where it starts: breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer. Metastatic when it invades other places, and we give it grades. Stage II, stage III, stage IV (and sometimes finer grades). General terms help us define what to focus on. This probably fits with your third point. For specific destinations, different cancers like to metastasize to specific places, but not always. We don't know why, it is still being investigated, but there are patterns.

Your second point is more advanced. Cancer cells have specific characteristics, in general we call them expressions or mutations, usually identified through biopsy and/or liquid biopsies. PD-L1, HER2, ALK+, PTEN, BRCA, BRAF, KRAS, PI3K, etc. We learn new ones all the time and sadly cancer will mutate and turn on/off characteristics. Cells are adaptable and duplicate with these adaptations.

You think you are being a critical thinker, but you are just playing into anti-Western propaganda that makes it seem like there is no difference between the two. It should be pretty clear that China has the most sophisticated propaganda system in the world, and you have been ensnared by it.
You can understand something fully and still call it weird. I’ve used perl for decades, some of the things it does are still just weird. As for fallacies, one of the first things I was taught in logic class was that using an argument’s formal structure (or lack thereof) to determine truth is itself a fallacy. Unsound != Untrue, and throwing around Latin names of fallacies doesn’t actually support an argument.

No, I was under the same impression until a few days ago. This one line changed the complete approach of looking at ads for me:

"If you believe you can help people but don't promote yourself, you're denying that help to people who need it."

Though that's also a reality these days, people do ads to fool consumers. A good consumer though knows how to read labels!
I wish it wasn’t such busywork rolling your own packages. It feels like a homework assignment even with generators. Lazy code is more fun to write for sure, faster to results.
> Personally, I find it curious that people talk about detecting single photons, but in these fractional charge experiments, nobody mentions detecting a single quasiparticle.

You detect a single photon when it perturbs an apparatus like a photon multiplier; you detect a single quasiparticle when it perturbs a split stream of electrons.

The apparent difference is that photons can travel through free space and strike such an apparatus from afar; while quasiparticles definitionally cannot. However, I’ve read about experiments that measure a single anyon on a dot by wrapping electron interferometry around it, which is measuring the lone quasiparticle on that dot.

So I don’t follow your point.
> the world is far more complicated than a human can grasp in their lifetime

Language plays a big part in this "grasping" process. Without language we would not have been able to build upon past experience and get to where we are now. It now preserves more knowledge than any one human can ever learn. We often think intelligence is an individual trait, but it is made of concepts and methods discovered by a social process based on language. A single human can't bootstrap to that level on his own.
