I think you’re absolutely correct, inefficiency is a strong counterweight, and it’s one that’s (consciously or subconsciously) built into the laws and punishments.

When you look at a punishment which is set up as a “deterrent” or you hear about someone “throwing the book at you” it’s because of all the perceived inefficiency. They caught “you” this time, and they’re accounting for all the times “you got away with it” (statistically).

If you go from 10% efficiency to 100% efficiency without changing the punishment, observant people will, I believe correctly, take issue with the fact the punishment has now become “10x more drastic” when taken as a whole society.

There is also something about this inefficiency that makes us more free. Everyone bends the rules to some extent in an area they feel is worth the risk. Maybe you changed an outlet without consulting a licensed electrician / inspector.

To that end, the inefficiencies are built into our economies. Would people be safer with every electrical change being measured? Surely. Could the economy support every electrical change being measured? As in, can the average American even afford to pay an electrician every time they want to change a fixture? I think the answer is realistically no. If everyone has enough free cash they don’t mind spending it on an electrician, 100% efficiency and compliance might be reasonable and good.

You’ll see this phenomenon while traveling, there are things like traffic violations, sketchy wiring, eyesores, etc that you’d say “that would never fly in $HOME_COUNTRY” and it’s commonplace there. They may even still be illegal there. But the standards of enforcement change to meet what are in principle the ideals of the people, but in practice what’s possible for the economies to support. You might go back in 10 years and find their economy is stronger, the enforcement has increased, but people are not unhappy with the change and life goes on. The people who did the sketchy wiring have probably had time and an influx of cash from the stronger economy to pursue better training, and are now the ones doing good to-code work.

The way technology throws this out of balance is to give enforcement the ability to expand without incurring the traditional economic penalties for doing so. Those economic penalties would’ve grown the economy in other areas. If you follow the line of thinking, it leads to a significant increase in the wealth gap. Of course, there’s enough evidence to support that this is exactly what’s been unfolding. My thought is, if this natural economic balancer is reduced, we should seek to add another.

First, the dominant philosophy of physics/science is that of falsification. Which roughly says that it is impossible to know the "true" laws. All of physics is just models, nothing else, and you can't do better than that.

Second, physicists also do not foist this question onto philosophers. There is plenty of work done on this by physicists.

Particularly, on the question of whether the wavefunction is simply a calculational tool or more, there are many many papers written by physicists. Two samples [1, 2].

What makes my blood boil is that they are just going to keep pulling shit like this which they KNOW everyone (with zero exceptions) intensely HATES, and it's up to everyone to push back ferociously (very high threshold) every damn time. It's up there with "not now" instead of "get rekt and never ask me again" choices in terms of user-antagonism.

I'm aware that other OSes exist, but I happen to hate Windows least on the whole :/

Good news - the US is interested in Part B, jail for squatting (including outdoors in a public place) but not Part A, because communism is terrible.
Why don't we feed this into a model and ask that model itself to teach us?

Let me know when you can solve for 1 or more of

- Human Greed

- A system set up on the principal of the more you have capital you have, the more capital you can acquire.

- The instinct to achieve "security" for you and your family

- Democracy being run on averages, and the IQ/EQ of the average person is frighteningly sub-par

- Ethics being an idea not a formula

- The instinct for most of our educated population to focus on second rate problems they are not in a position to solve

Then get back to us
Just a warning for people who are planning on doing this: it works amazingly well but if you're using it in a shared environment where you may end up wanting to revoke a key (e.g. terminating an employee) the key revocation problem can be a hassle. In one environment I worked in we solved it by issuing short-term pseudo-ephemeral keys (e.g. someone could get a prod key for an hour) and side-stepped the problem.

The problem is that you can issue keys without having to deploy them to a fleet of servers (you sign the user's pubkey using your SSH CA key), but you have no way of revoking them without pushing an updated revocation list to the whole fleet. We did have a few long-term keys that were issued, generally for build machines and dev environments, and had a procedure in place to push CRLs if necessary, but luckily we didn't ever end up in a situation where we had to use it.
The "drop out" part isn't meant to be permanent or literal. Even Tim Leary kept busy writing books, teaching, giving talks and generally making a living.

Nothing wrong with boosting creativity. The choice of directing that creativity to your employer's profits is only an issue if your company is boring or unethical or undeserving. Besides, I don't think micro-dosing aspires to the "turn on, tune in" part of the equation. I've never micro-dosed, but a coffee-like buzz has no connection with Leary's mantra.
No, they won’t.
Hey! I'm Arnaud, first author of the paper.
XLNet also shuffles the data during training, but they use a masking mechanism instead of the causal + double positional encoding. The application differs, XLNet is not AFAIK focused on generation (even if it can be used for that) and the burst-sampling idea is new.
I'd love to see how you derive that from Newton's Laws of Motion, which are all about acceleration. All other things being equal, it takes no more or less energy to keep a heavy object in motion than a light one. After all, a pendulum's period is proportional to its length, and not its weight.

This applies to most AI features that have been released recently. It feels like almost every business that wants to think of itself as a tech company has been desperate to throw out as many new features as possible that they can slap an AI label onto.

Most of those features are garbage and make the product worse, either because they don't address an actual problem or because they are implemented poorly. But of course improving the product is at best a secondary concern, chasing the hype is far more important, both for the company itself and the individuals building this stuff.
That's the tradeoff everyone makes when they say something isn't in their "core competency" - they give up any real competitive advantage that area of expertise could bring them. That often makes total sense like with accounting or HR, but most companies take it way too far in engineering and internal support software.

Engineers make the same mistake all the time too: we love to say that "premature optimization is the root of all evil", ignoring that the full quote is "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. _Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%_"

A lot do, personally, every single time I try to go back to conda/mamba whatever, I get some extremely weird C/C++ related linking bug - just recently, I ran into an issue where the environment was _almost_ completely isolated from the OS distro's C/C++ build infra, except for LD, which was apparently so old it was missing the vpdpbusd instruction (https://github.com/google/XNNPACK/issues/6389). Except the thing was, that wouldn't happen when building outside of of the Conda environment. Very confusing. Standard virtualenvs are boring but nearly always work as expected in comparison.

I'm an Applied Scientist vs. ML Engineer, if that matters.
> First, with IPv4 this will have the potential to increasingly penalize innocent bystanders... Worst case, this will give bad actors the option to lock the original owner out of their own server if they have a botnet host in the same network.

So instead of looking, like the author of these new options, for ways to make life for the bad guys harder we do nothing?

Your concerned are addressed in TFA:

> ... and to shield specific clients from penalty

> A PerSourcePenaltyExemptList option allows certain address ranges to be exempt from all penalties.

It's easy for the original owner to find the list of all the IP blocks the three or four ISPs he's legitimately be connecting from to that exemption list.

I don't buy your argument nor all the variation on the same theme: "There's a minuscule risk of X, so we absolutely nothing but saying there's nothing to do and we let bad guys roam free!".

There's nothing more depressing than that approach.

Kudos to the author of that new functionality: there may be issues, it may not be the panacea, but at least he's trying.
Knowing you could turn on recall to spy in this way implies an individual with the technical know how to grab a freeware keylogger anyways.

Similarly with airtags, you have been able to buy cheaper cellular based GPS trackers for years prior to airtags existing.

In the airtag case, those GPS tags also do not alert the individual that there is a beacon following their person, and as such most likely go unnoticed and under reported.
I'm not super clear on the situation, but I have a brother that DJs at a local venue. Their biggest complaint was that even though they had obtained their broadcast license they couldn't livestream their sets on Twitch. Not sure if this offering now resolves that issue, or how other platforms are handling those situations. Seems like it would make more sense for the platforms to require proof of the performers licensing rather than handling the licensing themselves.
I think most markdown symbols add semantic comprehension or emphasis value in _plain_ text. That is functional[^1] even here.

Including the squared circle for inline links.

And, maybe prohibitively slow, perhaps integrate some kind of linting or syntax checking as part of the rejection sampling. I.e. burst sample N potential generated snippets in parallel, reject those that are syntactically invalid.
I'm trying to get you to see that it's a significant chore and you shouldn't dismiss it. It's usually done in addition to other obligations like work and childcare. A lot of americans are also poor, work long hours, or don't have reliable access to a car.

Also people "around the world" may not be cooking at home as much as you assume either. Street food is everywhere and it is not new by any means. Individual household kitchens for city dwellers have not historically been the norm, and they still aren't in a lot of places.
> understanding what global superpowers do in the modern era, as long as you have a more flexible definition

Yeah, absolutely. I remember a certain sense of enlightenment as undergraduate when a professor laid out the way the US projects military power - not through direct land occupation and control, but through deployment of a network of semi-permanent bases from which force can be rapidly unleashed on flexible terms, as well as through "advisors" that can co-opt local armies to carry out US objectives.

Coupling that with direct and indirect shaping of cultural and economic consensus across allied nations, it's hard to define the role of northamerican states with a word different from "empire".

It seems like that to me too. I keep hoping that it's just some cognition defect, that they're trying to be reasonable, that there's this one little piece of logic they stumble over... but the more I listen to them, the more convinced I become that they really do just want all of us to be extinct.
Are you implying that using any GPL licensed software forces you to publish everything you create that touches it must also be published under GPL? That's not how it works.
This is the national org for 1099 passthrough contracting shops. See if any of these folks have work. These organizations will perform the sales part with larger companies, and carry larger insurance policies than independent consultants can usually get. They'll take a cut, but there's still pretty good money in it. The work is typically staff augmentation roles on various large projects at F500 companies.

Most people in the early 80s had no idea what to do with a computer at home, that's why they mostly were bought by enthusiasts, tinkerers, and gamers.

Chapter 12 of Real-Time Collision Detection has a section on vertex welding.

The 1st edition of 3D Math Primer has it in Chapter 14.4.2: Vertex Welding.

If you want to merge vertices that are within WELD_EPSILON then you can create a 3D grid of cells with cell sizes being at least as large as 2*WELD_EPSILON and put each vertex in its cell. For each cell, you only need to check the 8 neighboring cells to see if the vertex should be merged with a nearby vertex.

The worst case could be worse than O(N) if most of the vertices end up in the same grid cell but don't require merging.
> When you resize your browser, you're not testing for responsiveness. You're testing the side effect of how a layout looks when you resize a browser.

A UI that is not resizable should not use the web platform. [^1]

If you do imperative things in reaction to viewport dimensions, it's your own responsibility to do it correctly (layout operations always need to be idempotent).

There is a point though: window resizing misses DPR. And missing that commonly breaks responsive UIs.

Maybe that's the main point of the author, but the word "side effect" is really unfortunate then.

[1] If you don't support some viewport sizes, you can show a hint to the user that this viewport is unsupported.
Agreed. Dystopian is too far. However, I do think that college parking is low-key a predatory racket. Students are a captive market and the school supplies the parking. They know the enrollment numbers, they make you buy a parking permit, so they know how many spots are needed. Somehow though, there are never enough parking spots. I think it should be illegal for schools to issue tickets for parking (outside of handicap spots, the middle of the road, fire lanes, etc) until they can prove that there is a legal spot for every permit they issue. Otherwise, they are incentivized to issue more parking permits than there are spots which is clearly setting up many students to be in an impossible situation.
Well, on old school sites where there are static pages each pointed to by an unique url, yes it does show the contents of the page :)

Yes, everyone has heard of food deserts.

I'm referring to the correlation between riots/civil unrest and food scarcity. You're familiar with the world food crises (2022–present)?
Part of what combined the two conflicts, aside from Allied questions about resource allocations and priorities, was the supply lines of the British Empire. There was a continuous series of supply lines running all the way from England to Burma, through the Mediterranean and Suez Canal and down through South Asia. The Suez Canal (under threat from the Italians and Germans) was part of the exact same supply line as the Burma Road (under threat from the Japanese).

I honestly don't know where you're going with this. You're theorizing about a condition you presumably don't have and then extrapolating your theories to professions you imagine to fit your idea of the "skillset" people with ADHD supposedly have.

There is not a skillset attached to the diagnosis of ADHD. There is no time to develop a skillset when the mind is constantly roving and unable to concentrate.
This is entirely a skill issue. I don't mean that dismissively, let me teach you the Mac way to close apps.

You hit ⌘-Tab, this brings up a list of every app you have open. Keep the thumb on the ⌘. More tabs go right, ` goes left. For every app you want to close, hit Q. When done, release ⌘.

My preferred way to launch an app is ⌘-Space and the first few letters of its name. This can have some frustrating delays of a second or two, but it will for the most part remember what you've opened. Other users are much more dock-oriented, I keep it hidden on the side and use it seldom.
> ... using keys is actually more convenient and significantly more secure.

And for those for whom it's an option, using U2F keys (like Yubikeys) is now easily doable with SSH.

So unless the attacker can hack the HSM inside your Yubikey, he's simply not getting your private SSH keys.
They don’t have to be special to be bespoke.

And almost all business integrations are highly bespoke.
Those are getting overhauls in regular intervals though, it’s more like theseus airplane. Except for the structure itself, there is a lot of repair and replacement happening.
And they also have a less-than-great safety record (although that is also pilot related).
I seen someone on LinkedIn yesterday talking about how you'll be able to "chat with your database"

Like, what if i don't want to be friends with a database? What next ? a few beers with my fridge? Skinny dipping with my toaster?
This seems like something I wouldn't want. I already use fail2ban, which does exactly the same thing, in a more generic manner. sshd is a security-sensitive piece of software, so ideally I want less code running in that process, not more.
You wish! In my experience they just load all the cloud work on to developers. Like, I’m setting up virtual networks, private endpoints, firewalls and what not, because if I don’t there won’t be horrible (I basically knew nothing about networking before I did it and I still don’t know if anything we do is correct in any manner) security but no security.

It’ll bite the company in the ass eventually, or maybe it won’t, but it is what it is.
I would like to have privacy but understand that’s nearly impossible in reality. I was using Chrome mostly due to inertia, but not being able to block ads is unacceptable to me. I do most of my browsing on iOS Safari these days, but use Chrome on my work computer.

SSH Key Management Challenges and Requirements
Thank you for the feedback. Will implement a success notification in a bit.

Regarding the programs, there are 3 demo workouts to try out that I linked in the post and all over the landing page. I understand you want to check the exercise lists prior to paying so you can compare, but just reading them wouldn't provide much unless you have context. That's why they are not available. I actually previously implemented a trial period in a prior update but it didn't yield success also became easy to just keep churning so I removed it.

If you have an alternative to this, please let me know your suggestion/s.

> It is not slander to say you distrust someone.

Of course it is slander to say that somebody's reputation is damaged. Especially when it's not a public figure. Just that somebody's name is public, doesn't make them a public figure. And you even continue. Step out of the mob frenzy for a while and try to look at how you are behaving from a higher perspective. Is it right of you to treat a person like that, because he sold his own business? It matters little you once purchased a product from him. Software change owners all the time.

Until there is definite proof of malevolence you should calm down, as should the other hackers. This business has the possibility of becoming a great embarrassment for Hacker News in the future.

Well, in Iran the Islamic Republic feels threatened by Baha'is. Most people that hate Baha'is is because they feel threatened by them. For example, Baha'is have no clergy. So all clergy will naturally feel treated as the Baha'i population grows -- that's just an example
