There is always that guy, well lots of that guy, that obviously wish the losers would go off and die somewhere so they can enjoy their winnings without having to think about them. And these people hate anything that forces them to rub shoulders with losers. They hate cities, public transit, flying coach. And especially hate sick people. You might have asked who leaves their wife when they get cancer, these guys.

When it comes to the resources used by disabled people I think of comments by Nolan Bushnell in a dead tree magazine interview. The interviewer asked him how he deals with unproductive engineers and Nolan says he didn't care about unproductive engineers. Because an unproductive engineer just wastes his salary. What he cared about was negatively productive engineers. And managers especially. What I see is there are a lot of heavily compensated people who destroy value their whole careers. And those people take a far and away bigger share than all the disabled people.

Where this tends to be going is a lot of that guy are the above, highly compensated less than worthless people. consider as you're career progressed up. Maybe when you started working most people around you had lower end jobs and were productive. And as you went up the percentage of people actually pulling their weight went down.

So yes most people doesn't mind people on disability. But the thin upper strata of that guys sure do.
It’s definitely not zero effort. But every time I’ve seen it draw out the timeline, it’s been because the expectations weren’t clear at hire time, nor in the PIP. You’re looking for a specific number of “significant PRs/week”, or story points, or something with subjectivity where you the manager still get to decide.

It’s a warning shot, and sometimes it only lasts a week.

BigCo HR can definitely make it take months, but the practice in general doesn’t have to be that way. We did this at startup size as small as 20 people, and I never regretted it.
Also, have you heard of Lance Armstrong? Do you think elite cycling teams worry more about health or performance?

It's a sliding scale from no harm to performance benefits to death. Clearly they are intelligent and educated and those teams expend effort to stay to the left of death...
Does making npm return 404 a portion of the time for a couple minutes really count as "bring[ing] down the JavaScript ecosystem"?
Yes. And you can have a grammar parser only select from valid tokens in a randomized distribution. But, this feels much more sophisticated to me, especially if you can mix specific token-based grammar requirements with other instructions during the token selection phase.
That's not what category error means.
The claim is that Meta solicited ads from scammers/fraudsters in violation of its own terms of service.

> The entire case was thrown out by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White, who ruled the claims were barred by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

However an appeals court ruled:

> We thus hold that Meta’s duty arising from its promise to moderate third-party advertisements is unrelated to Meta’s publisher status, and § 230(c)(1) does not apply to plaintiffs’ contract claims
It's funny that it sounds like every meal she cooked with the writer was ad-libbed, even pizza. A couple of years of her life were fictionalized in the Julia TV series around the time of the debut of the local PBS cooking show hosted by Julia Child.
Symbolic regression has the same failure mode; the reasons why the model failed can be explained in a more digestible way, but the actual truth of what happened is fundamentally similar -- some coefficient was off by some amount and/or some monomial beat out another in some optimization process.

At least with symbolic regression you can treat the model as an analyzable entity from first principles theories. But that's not really particularly relevant to most failure modes in practice, which usually boil down to either missing some qualitative change such as a bifurcation or else just parameters being off by a bit. Or a little bit of A and a little bit of B.
It's also possible particles increase causing expansion, this is just theoretical still. But if that's true, then it is finite but perpetually increasing. Potentially infinitely.

As a Reddit mod, I block most self-promotion because honestly it's mostly trash posted by people with no interest in the community.

These posts are almost always of low quality and designed to hook gullible people, and much of it driven either by influencers or sellers of snake oil. It's not just legit promotional posts, either; there's plenty of astroturfing trying to post recommendations for products etc. Even so I bet a lot goes under my radar.

In a very few cases I have allowed a promotional post when I have been convinced that it was for a good purpose. I support genuine entrepreneurs who look like they're building something of value. But those are extremely rare on Reddit. All of Reddit is rather bleak in that regard. So much content stealing, influencing, astroturfing, link farming, and outright spam.

Very cool effect

Is there a basic JS library to do something like this by giving it two image paths via a property of an html tag? (and then the library automatically replacing the html element with an animation)

For example:

<div x-img-1=“img1.svg” x-img-2=“img2.svt”>default content to replace with animation</div>

Extra bonus point if it works on the background image of an element, so that a whole page might have an animated svg background

TLDR: A Denial-of-Service vulnerability triggered via cache poisoning on registry.npmjs.org which can render individual packages inaccessible

I don't see the big security impact that the headline suggests, as active big-scale exploitation would likely be quickly noticed and fixed.
The most interesting attack vector IMHO would be to block individual security fixes to packages on a small scale.
Rather than training another AI network to detect fakes, I think we need to use semantic likelihood. That is, what is the probability of this picture being real based on its content? Low probabilities demand higher proof. I think this is what my brain does.

Let's put it like this, in germany we try to keep those people away from weapons and police actually (partly) prevented them from going to Ukraine. In Ukraine they would officially armed.

So yeah, germany is not directly in war and if a war comes here, we probably would also arm our Nazis again and hope they shoot in the direction we want - but I would be against that and I would consider this "black".

„Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.“

The last part of this quote is often forgotten.
Fundamentally what makes a wolf a different species than "dog" is that people don't consider them to be the same.

But there are several good reasons; their behavior, life strategy, and often size and appearance are all radically different. The best match here is probably the "ecological species concept": (1) https://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/a-z/Ecological_sp... ; (2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotype

> and what species are the offspring of a dog-wolf mating considered?

I am not personally aware of standard terminology, but I might say "half wolf" or "wolf hybrid". The wikipedia page is titled "wolfdog". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdog

There is standard terminology for the offspring of a wolf and a coyote; those are called "red wolves". Wikipedia suggests that they have a taxonomic species name canis rufus, but this is controversial (since they're hybrids).

Contrary to what the article implies, this isn't just passing the mechanical motions through. There's a lot of highly configurable signal processing to remove things like hand tremors. Good luck designing a mechanical linkage for that. The tolerance issues with the mechanicals would probably rival the cost and complexity here since you'd have no calibration mechanisms either and the maintenance/lifecycle would be disastrously expensive for the same reason.

Robotics is simply better for this.

Ask HN: What websites or servers do you know require external technology to run?
An example would be using a radio receiver to seek true random numbers from atmospheric noise, as mentioned here:

First of all, thank you! What a treasure trove of data.

If I may ask a question, do you have historical air quality data?
Yup, and not to mention the myriad of strange UX in GIMP that the devs won’t budge on, like the whole layer boundary situation. There’s a reason literally no other image editor handles layer boundaries the way GIMP does.
CPU is about 10% according to grafana and that seems to have been the peak.

Search load is approx 1,000 per hour but there are spikes of a few dozen per second here and there, mostly from bots (there's an amazonbot?).

That CPU spike appears to be correlated with the search spikes.
It has major implications for atmospheric composition[1]. Climates are a massively dynamic system, and they work in really unintuitive and complicated ways. It's a pretty big misconception that we're capable of performing deductive reasoning about them. Even our stochastic workarounds aren't capable of dealing with them very well (see: the commonly joked about unreliability of predictive meteorology), which is why I generally take a very hard skeptical stance whenever I see this kind of conclusive language, outside of purely descriptive measures and careful talk about correlations. The climate is undergoing change that hasn't been seen since about 10k years ago, and that's about all we can say conclusively.

I bet most cars are used most times in traffic, hence the traffic. Although you can try to get through it avoiding the brakes, ’round here if you leave any kind of gap ahead of you, you’re gonna be slamming on the brakes instead of gradually braking every other minute. Also the extra weight in stop/start conditions can’t be ignored; it takes a lot of energy to get moving from a stop.
If it hardlocked an A8 but not an A9, chances are very high that an emulator would run it with no problem, because nobody deliberately tries to emulate the kind of CPU bug that lets an app hardlock the CPU. GP appears to have been interested in deterring people from running their code on non-authorised real hardware at the time, not targeting emulator users.

I wouldn’t be opposed to making tolls and fines income based, like some Nordic countries.

I once was finishing up eating at Astro diner (iirc) on 55th and 6th and some guy in a lambo double parked across the street on 6th, blocking traffic, and just left it there. Cops came pretty quickly and were ticketing it, but there’s no way the person driving a $400k car cares about a $100 ticket. When we walked out they were still trying to figure out what to do, as they weren’t even sure a tow company would come to take it.

Cyber War Will Not Take Place (2013)
My perception is that Adobe stuff is kind of like Oracle. Overweight, expensive, free/open alternatives do just as well in most cases but if you really need to fully exploit the feature set, and really need a big company support agreement, there is no substitute.

Also if you are a creative business, most anyone you would want to hire will know Adobe tools. Very few will be familiar with gimp, inkscape, or command-line utilities.
This is going to result in the deaths of many post-op transfusion patients as well. Not being able to screen blood, even if you know the type is a huge risk. What a shameful, evil, and heinous attack on the most vulnerable.
Behavior takes the path of least resistance in pursuit of a goal. That goal can be something narcissistic like adoration, learning, or fulfillment. It could also be something technical like systems automation effort in the present to reduce labor or risk later. None of that is ethical if it deviates from the goals of the business.

Before criticizing whether the business is ethical instead focus on whether your own work or conduct is ethical. It likely isn’t. There is no reason it should be.

Software has no concept of ethics. If developers were career limited to ethical conduct, as are doctors or lawyers or truck drivers, the business has fewer options to perform in an unethical manner.
CLI for uploading files to Amazon S3 and generates presigned URLs
There's a self-fulfilling cycle that happens here in both history and anthropology where the assumption when looking at old cultures has been that they were a patriarchy, because that's all we've ever seen, because every time we look at an old culture we're assuming it's a patriarchy, so when we see things that look like a matriarchy we assume we're mistaken because everything else we've seen has been a patriarchy, so this must be one, too.

For instance, looking at the art from Minoan Crete, there's abundant examples of works where women are portrayed in the ways that in other cultures of the region were how the rulers were portrayed, but since we're assuming they were a patriarchy, the assumption has been that these were gods being portrayed, and not rulers, because rulers are men and these were women, so they couldn't have been rulers.

You see similar where we'll find grave sites where the skeleton seems female, but they're buried with the trappings and in the fashion of a ruler, and a shocking amount of effort is spent trying to reconcile that contradiction.

(This is not to argue that Rome was actually a matriarchy or anything silly like that, rather that the blindness of history to the role of women reaches almost comical levels in other places, so it's not surprising to find a blank spot in Roman history in pop culture, at least.)

Fixing this bug would be part of fixing a bunch of other floating point bugs, more specifically rounding and clamping.

But you can just curl it again in a few minutes and bring it down again. And then again after that, so they claim that it can be done indefinitely. That’s quite a big difference.

Also, you can target not just express but an even higher volume small library that most large projects depend on.

I don’t get how every comment so far has dismissed DoS as a serious issue.

Oh, of course, of course. Why, this is so mundane, why would anyone even bother to read it?

> For content processed or stored on Adobe servers, Adobe may use technologies and other processes, including escalation for manual (human) review, to screen for certain types of illegal content (such as child sexual abuse material), or other abusive content or behavior (for example, patterns of activity that indicate spam or phishing).

They are going to use AI to scan through all content...for your protection. Does Adobe have a problem with people using their cloud to produce child abuse material? I think we all recognize Bitcoin is used for illegal activity. But I never considered Adobe being associated with CP. I guess that's what they're going with...

I feel like this is a trope at this point. Just like Microsoft Recall, no one believes or trusts this won't eventually turn into them using your IP for themselves via AI, and then eventually by the government. That's the bottom line.

To really put a point on it, they are saying they're swipping a spider off us while they slip their hands down our pants.
