Ask HN: How do you manage registrar login?
The scenario is you have domains with a registrar. Typical good practice is that the login to the registrar is an external email address. This way if any issues with the registar, you are not locked out.

If you do not have Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, any other 3P provider, how do you manage this scenario? The goal is to not have any 3P mail and be self-contained within your own domain and email management.

Edit This scenario is for a home user that has domains for various projects, purposes however currently uses a separate hotmail, gmail, etc for the login to the registrar.

Tangentially related, is anybody besides the autonomous car folks developing games or virtual environments designed from the ground up for exporting machine learning APIs? By this I mean exporting game state and accepting game controls through the network without going through adapter contortions.

Exactly, random rivers throughout Alaska could be turning orange than eventually going back to blue for the last 10,000+ years for all we know. As the article stressed, these rivers are in the middle of nowhere so it would be hard for anybody to notice. But that story is boring, better to turn it into a menacing tale of climate change for more clicks.
Tiny text would also drive me insane. I'll stick with my current reader that has a more book-like aspect ratio.
Reasonable, but to the extent the person feels their privacy is being violated it's hard to expect them to voluntarily self-violate it further (and be accused of having shopped the screenshot etc). Other discussion in the thread suggest both that Snapchat's in-app AI validates the claim, and that the website of the advertiser is exactly the sort of sketchy degree mill that you would expect to use such techniques.

It might be an elaborate prank perpetrated by multiple people working in concert, but 'tech company known for violating privacy violates privacy again' seems at least equally economical.

Oh yes. I didn't mean it as a criticism aimed at you, I was just trying to understand what the delay is about.
Also, this entire argument seems to be founded on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiling%27s_axiom_of_symmetry. It is not clear that Freiling himself accepts this axiom -- "Freiling's argument is not widely accepted because of the following two problems with it (which Freiling was well aware of and discussed in his paper)."
I think the Fed should have already lowered interest rates. I think they are overcooking it waiting until September. If they do not lower interest rates soon I suspect we will see greater unemployment and may eventually enter into a recession.
Not quite. Yes, they show that superluminal (faster than light) warp drives still require negative energy, though dramatically less than previously calculated, which is what your quote refers to.

However, TFA featured on HN focuses on a different finding in the same paper - that positive-energy warp drive solutions exist, that still warp spacetime, but are necessarily sub-lightspeed. This is still useful, because it's still a potential avenue on how to actually approach accelerating something to some large fraction of c. These also solve a lot of the immediate objections to prior art, such as being delicately between event horizons of a black/white (ish) hole pair, the accompanying hawking radiation, and causality paradoxes.
As much as I'd love open access to academic publications and don't think the current model is great:

> Think of how cancer could have been cured a decade ago if information was allowed to flow freely from the 50's forward

might be a bit fanciful? Unless you're referring to something particular I'm unaware of.

The people best equipped and trained to deliver a cure for cancer (and then some, since it tends not to be particularly field-restricred) do have access.

I think the loss is more likely in engineering (to the publication's science), cheaper methods, more reliably manufacturable versions of lab prototypes, etc.

I doubt there are many people capable of cancer research breakthroughs who don't have access to cancer research, personally.

(And to be clear: I'm not capable of it.)

Quite interesting — but how is it fundamentally more productive than being in VS code in R or python? You don’t get any of the benefits of an IDE here. I often find myself doing very similar workflows but default to either VS Code or the shell. Trying to imagine this truly making workflows faster/easier/more efficient, but can’t figure it.
Some books "you don't understand" can change the reader, so the (new) reader experiences a (new) book in their next reading.

There seemed to be several meetings in this room superimposed on one another, and they cannot be sorted out. To sort them out would have been to destroy their effect, however, for they achieved syntheses of their several aspects and became the true meeting that never really took place but which contained all the other meetings in one theatrical unity.

> ..On first read, yes, it’s nonsense, but this is the experience of experiencing Lafferty. He doesn’t make any sense, until you decide, and you must decide, that he does. Then, suddenly, he becomes a genius. Read the paragraph again. What’s he talking about? Today, you might realize he’s predicting Zoom: a main meeting full of individual nonmeetings taking place in chats and side slacks that together constitute a constant and overarching supermeeting! Tomorrow, it’ll sound like something else entirely.

I'm not trying to come off as combative, it seems that you are.

All I offered was a way to not sound entitled. Personally, I certainly hold the opinions of someone that's helping me much higher than the opinion of someone that isn't.

Another approach to avoid sounding entitled could be to post a more thoughtful and comprehensive analysis on HN or a blog, rather than nitpicking a commit and posting broad questions like "what could have prevented this?" and insinuating that the volunteers need to do better.

Finally, if it's true that not "just any developer" can contribute to OpenSSH... well it's open-source. Fork it. Or build your own.

Thanks for making this open source! As someone who is a total noob in this space, I see WebXR allows one to create VR applications that run in browser across a variety of VR headsets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebXR

"WebXR Device API is a Web application programming interface (API)[1][2] that describes support for accessing augmented reality and virtual reality devices, such as the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, Google Cardboard, HoloLens, Apple Vision Pro, Magic Leap or Open Source Virtual Reality (OSVR), in a web browser."

In your experience, does the promise hold true, is WebXR really "write once run anywhere" for the VR space?
I find that some of the books i don't understand come to me very slowly over time. I'll just have some insight one day and out of the blue I'll think "oh like that one thing in zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance", 20 years after i read it (or similar).

As for looking like a poser - most people will respond well to "tbh I didn't really understand what I read, tell me more and I'll keep it in mind if I revisit" (or "help me understand this other thing I have some concrete memory about", etc). Some jerks will scoff or dismiss you, most people I've encountered are pretty open to a good discussion even after it's been revealed.

Reading a lot of the comments it seems that most people here are keen to have otherwise quiet cars fitted with fake sounds. While I appreciate there's a safety aspect to making some sort of sound for pedestrians, I am actually looking forward to a future that makes cities and heavy traffic areas both quieter and cleaner. If you live in such areas, this would be a great quality of life improvement and dare I say, may improve property values in such places.

I'd hate to think that 20 years from now I'll still be subject to morons deciding to delight the neighbourhood at 2am with their overblown engine sounds.
I’ll add that even if the papers we all wanted were more freely accesible, the replication and completeness of their described methods would be another source of slowdown.

The people who follow this tradition of oral recitation where trained from childhood in a special school (kind of boarding) where certain values facilitating the lossless transfer of meaning like truthfulness, honesty etc, were imbibed deep into students. It was strictly not allowed to edit (add or subtract) the original verses( if one does so he/she can write another book).
After certain years has passed by, only those who were capable enough and 'morally' qualified were authorised to become teachers and pass on the knowledge.
Even today in some places in India(not so rampant as in like 100 years ago) the same culture is followed.

> Finally, if it's true that not "just any developer" can contribute to OpenSSH... well it's open-source. Fork it. Or build your own.

What good would that do? Would that enable the forker to voice their complaints about the original OpenSSH that's used by literally everyone else without people like you chiming in?

By the by, is it at all relevant that OpenSSH development is funded by at least 1 non-profit and probably other sources as well? They're not volunteers.

(And even if they were volunteers, users are quite within their rights to voice concerns and criticisms about software in a constructive manner. If open source developers don't want to face that, they can not develop open source software.)
I recently needed to help a downstream team with a problem with an Android app. I never did mobile app dev before, but I was able to spin up a POC (having not coded in Java for 22 years) and solve the problem with the help of ChatGPT 4.0.

Sure I probably would have been able to do it without ChatGPT, but it was so much easier to have something to bounce ideas off-of. A safety net, if you will.

The hallucination risk was irrelevant: it did hallucinate a little early on. I told it it was a hallucinating, and we moved onto a different way of solving the problem. It was easy enough to verify it was working as expected.
Not clear why I would use this over grep/ripgrep + sed or awk. Or grep/ripgrep + clist then cfdo/cdo in vim/nvim (which can confirm each substitution).

Sometimes a more specific tool makes a job easier, but I prefer using the tools already available and familiar to me.

AFAIK the concept of a “particle” is kind of a construct, or at least every bit as much as a “wave.” What’s really happening down there is whatever the math says is happening and it does not have direct physical analogies to much of anything we experience microscopically on a day to day basis.
