A anecdote along the same lines as your drawing vs constructing observation:

I happen to be fairly adept at wood working. And I often think up novel constructions that people quite fancy and indeed are willing to pay their hard earned bucks for.

Once I have thought these things up, I am able to render them to paper/CAD very easily for concrete plan creation. I am never surprised at the appearance of the thing when it is rendered to CAD, I always knew that’s what it would look like. I never saw it in any visual sense, but I knew exactly how it would appear, and I could answer in great detail any question someone might have about it (barring, perhaps, the sorts of questions that require trigonometry/excessive number crunching – the reason I’m putting it to CAD/paper).

To me, this means there isn’t a binary “has ‘imagination’/does not have ‘imagination’” divide. Rather, folks perhaps have different methods of “visualization”. Some folks have a “bitmap” approach (≈Photoshop). From the comments here, it seems some a “vector” approach (≈Illustrator). I would perhaps describe mine as a “CSG” approach (≈OpenSCAD/Grasshopper/etc.).

What’s nice with this phrasing is that nobody is missing anything. Nobody is a-trait. Everyone just has a different method of doing the same sorta thing, perhaps with some relative strengths and weaknesses accordingly, but no fundamental lack of ability to answer any particular question.

But who knows, maybe that’s just cope.
He is Australian right?

Just finished working through part 1 and subscribed! Thank you so much! I've always been interested in learning ML but the math has been the hurdle for me that seems to have been assumed knowledge elsewhere. Saw the title and was immediately hooked! Can't wait for more.
One of these days, people will learn that using data diodes, to prevent egress of control, and multilevel secure operating systems are good things...

but first, offline full backups that get tested.... why doesn't anyone do this any more?
The parent poster was being sarcastic. ;-)
Probably just pushing you towards GitHub.
A canary goes something like "This website has not received or acted on any government orders to disclose or modify or remove material." When they ever do, then they remove that notice. The government enforcement usually includes a gag order prohibiting the target from saying that they're under orders, so the intent is that you can infer government gag pressure by the canary having been removed. Wikileaks used to have such a notice and no longer does, so we assume government enforcement is why.

I'm not sure what the cryptographic part has to do with anything. I'd guess it was signed in a way that you can verify the government itself didn't tamper with the notice.
There are two subthreads about the structure of the plea deal, but they're both closely related; both are about the question of whether the plea stipulation drops the notion that Assange had a direct hand in the conspiracy that produced Chelsea Manning's document trove, rather than just being a passive receiver who published documents he had no real duty, as a non-American, to protect.

In both threads, the answer comes down to: the plea agreement says otherwise. Assange has stipulated to his culpability in the conspiracy --- the 793(g) charge you brought up. The plea agreement doesn't list the overt acts that substantiate the charge, and would make clearer the reasoning behind Assange's active participation. But that's because the plea agreement is a stipulation, for which the only evidence needed is that of agreement between prosecution and defense.

The superseding indictment is much more explicit. Had the case ever gone to trial, you'd have seen at its conclusion jury instructions that would have made clear the evidentiary threshold --- the overt acts, what acts qualify, etc --- to convict on the conspiracy.
Super awesome! A lot of this was review for me after watching 3blue1brown's series on Linear Algebra but definitely some new stuff in here. I would definitely recommend this series to anybody looking to learn!

I'm trying to work this out myself. Julian's wiki page has

> He was granted asylum by Ecuador in August 2012[10] on the grounds of political persecution and fears he might be extradited to the United States.[11]

It seems to me like the Trump administration simply mainted the status quo of what came before them. One theory could be the timing of the charges was more aligned with Ecuador changing PM/kicking Assange out of the embassy. https://thegrayzone.com/2019/04/14/lenin-moreno-julian-assan...
The other side are bombing children everyday and nobody are calling them terrorists.. what a weird world we are living in.
Isn't a lot of that tied up in residential real estate investment trusts though, which offer the much more perverse incentive of pushing rents as high as they'll go, to the point of increasing homelessness?
So what others might call API boundaries? the components of logical separation where you could intrude new logic, without necessarily having to tell either side?

A unix-y analogy would be mapping network calls into /dev/tun or /dev/tap instances via the kernel so you can put them into processes and "do things" to the payload.

In the literal mainframe days, when real programmers were women and pipes and cables had waxed string laces around them, there were known points in the architecture to "add bits" without massive change. IBM excelled in selling boxes which were soft-locked slow, and could be field upgraded by key turns but also by adding extra processing logic to the edge.

third party integrators sold addons for Dec-10 to add a parallel processor through memory mapping and User-Unallocated-Instructions (deliberate holes left in the ISA to permit wire-wrap coding of microcode to do things). Vax VARs sold memory upgrades based on all kinds of wierd tricks including bending the memory chip legs up to make an extra air-strung address line tied to an I/O pin.. But IBM users would say neither the 10 nor the 11/780 were true mainframes. I think by the time the 11/780 came out, the idea of micro-mini-midi-mainframe was a bit passe. It mattered if you were an IBM jobshop and depended on VM/CMS and the like. The "prism" idea meant these huge behemoths were already being sharded into logical sub-machines.

There's a whole chapter in Bell/Mudge/MacNamara computer architecture on the "wheel of life" model of how a device becomes intelligent until eventually its a discrete computer and then .. the wheel runs again.
Good, this was getting majorly embarrassing for all countries still involved with this legal mess. The man dying in prison stuck in legal limbo without any conviction whatsoever (innocent until proven guilty and all that) would have been a PR disaster for the UK. And of course there's also the issue that the UK is very likely to get a new government that would have likely been leaning to just letting the man go in any case. At least the current Labour leader strikes me as a decent man with some actual principles and backbone and this would fundamentally be a decent thing to do.

This would have been embarrassing for the US. One country doing something decent and calling another out on the whole indecency of the whole case. Not a good look after a decade plus of legal limbo with no end in sight. And of course the man actually being extradited (as unlikely as that would have been at this point) would just refocus the attention on all the embarrassing things that Wikileaks actually leaked that have caused this whole vindictive attitude towards Assange. All that stuff being rehashed in court rooms and the media for months on end was not going to end well. So, the US grudgingly finally doing the right thing via a plea deal seems like a good face saving compromise that just ends this now.
So, you're an expert in hat related deaths? I fail to see how rattling off irrelevant statistics makes you "informed". Still not a single reference to hat related deaths, the topic of our debate!
The history of Assange is the history of diplomatic incidents, in that sense rejecting the plea deal would not be out of the ordinary

Currently using dell latitude from 2014, so it’s 10 years old. Bought it refurbished a few years ago for around $130. Upgraded its ram to 16 GB and storage to 2 TB SSD. And it has removable battery. Should last me well beyond 2030s.
There are wealthy, high status people in the public school too, and employers really don’t care where you got your degree these days. If anything, state flagship public schools skew larger which means economies of scale grow the variety of available internship/research and other opportunities.
Sure, I agree it’s information they can get. But the larger point was that “the Houthis have sufficient intelligence” is a moot statement if the Houthis don’t have a command structure that prevents random cells from attacking whoever they please. An adjacent thread pointed out that at least one unrelated Russian ship appears to have learnt this the hard way.

> It’s like asking why SQL query forming via string concatenation of user inputs is unsafe.

To be honest, that's a surprisingly deep question, and the answer is something I'm yet to see any developer I worked with understand. For example, did you know that SQL injection and XSS are really the same problem? And so is using template systems[0] like Mustache?

In my experience, very few people appreciate that the issue with "SQL query forming via string concatenation" isn't in the "SQL" part, but in the "string concatenation" part.

The article says the Surface had a 7/10 in 2022. A bump to 8/10 in 2024 isn't that significant to chalk up to a change in leadership.
At least you won :)
Yeah. Seems it doesn’t even have its own article there.

Only a short mention in the main article about NTP itself:

> Network Time Security (NTS) is a secure version of NTPv4 with TLS and AEAD. The main improvement over previous attempts is that a separate "key establishment" server handles the heavy asymmetric cryptography, which needs to be done only once. If the server goes down, previous users would still be able to fetch time without fear of MITM. NTS is currently supported by several time servers, including Cloudflare. It is supported by NTPSec and chrony.
I don’t know why everyone in this thread is thinking so small picture. We’re in a Cold War.
There’s strong evidence that it’s causation.
Ask HN: What should I be on the lookout putting my MVP to production using AWS?
Putting a product to production for the first time using AWS backend - its like a platform to look at ecommerce data which scrapes info from different websites for competitive analysis.
I get the feeling that people would react differently if it was related to cars.

For instance a plane of rolling rocks right in a corner that would screw with tire grip and have several cars fall into the valley because of it. Would you see it as an issue with drivers not being skilled enough to keep control under adverse conditions ? Or request the maintainer of the road to do its job and fix it ?
That's fine. If they can't implement features in a way that doesn't stifle competition or create vendor lock-in, then they don't get to implement those features. I think that's a totally reasonable consequence of the DMA, if true.
All this talk of replacing junior engineers makes me think:

Aren’t interns and junior engineers paid on their potential rather than the work they produce?

Doesn’t it take a while (like 6 months - 1 year) for any associate to start contributing significantly to the organisation’s output?

A lawyer might delegate the same task to ChatGPT rather than a junior but is the purpose of delegation primary to get the task completed or to give an opportunity for junior to learn the specifics of the task?
>"Most who grew up to become geniuses, pre-1900, were kept apart from same age peers and raised at home, by tutors or parents. Michel Montaigne’s father employed only servants who were fluent in Latin, curating a classical culture, so Montaigne would read the classics in his mother tongue. J.S. Mill spent his childhood at his father’s desk, helping his father write a treatise on economics"

I've noticed this as well, but took a different lesson from it: they were rich. They were all rich. Of course there's the odd rags to riches story here and there. But almost uniformly as a rule, anyone you've ever read about or heard of who was notable in any way as an intellectual in history was born and raised rich. There was nothing genetic or cultural about it. They were just afforded a thousand opportunities at every turn that the rest of us never were. That's really all there is to it.

No, the problem is that a critical mass of a market is dependant on a single operator of that market, and that operator is not providing equal access to it but considers itself the owner AND a privileged player there which everyone has to pay to compete with.

The audience of iPhone users are that market.

-

"You have something to sell on my market? Sure, here are the fees, the rules and I take a cut of all your sales"

--> "My data shows that people like what you're selling on my market, so I studied all details, decided to build it myself, provide it for less/free and compete with you. Thanks for doing the risky work of proving that potential."

"Feel free to stay if you like, your continued success will continue to educate/fund my competing product. If you leave, you have to end business with all customers, as I took measures that they are ONLY able to visit MY market"

1. Clinton neither admitted nor denied it. She only said she "didn't recall" making that statement.

2. In any case, Clinton has been very openly critical of Assange, saying the charges were not punishing journalism and that "he has to answer for what he's done." [1]

I’m implying that southern slavs having distant ancient macedonian ancestors seems pretty likely to me. People don’t just disappear and make way for an incoming group of people, these slavic migrants 900 years after alexander the great lived probably interbred and assimilated cultures to an extent with whoever was in the balkan peninsula at the time.

The problem that causes it is in photo cases that a flat string representation kind of mixes code and data. And therefore escaping (such as not allowing quotes in the user input to terminate quotes in your query, or not allowing html tags to be opened or closed by user input, nor allowing html attributes to be opened or closed by the user input, etc) is needed.

Block based compressors like gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, etc don’t natively know how to compress multiple files, to them it’s just bytes in bytes out. Using these with tar allows both archive (multiple files / directories in one file) as well as compression. Such usage has the potential for higher compression ratios because it can deduplicate across the entire archive. Zip compresses each file individually, but has an uncompressed index. Tools like 7z use standard compression algorithms (I believe Lzma) with a different archive format. It’s all about how you want to integrate or customize your tools.
Where did you get that it’s going to perform about half? Judging by official numbers it should perform around the same.
