Upgrading my Chumby 8 kernel part 12: UART woes
Predators including the human variety.
note that these are tld servers run by Verisign

I have old habits I am trying to break doing things from memory as it gets me into trouble here for saying outdated things, so I just did 'dig -t ns net' and then did a dig @ the first one in the list. I considered checking them all but I don't know what the current convergence time in the anycast clusters are for net.

I'm glad you caught the NXDOMAIN. It's really one more epoxy coated screw in the coffin proving people should move off that registrar. It should take a great deal more than an abuse complaint to get a domain on hold, especially one belonging to a large network provider. Maybe it would make sense at this time for Hurricane to become it's own registrar. I printed out the book of requirements. For a retired hobbyist like me it would be insane, but for a business I think they could do it without too much overhead.
It's called a "burdensome discovery request" and will likely be rejected outright or curtailed greatly in scope.

To the extent that it's interesting it's because (on top of brazenly stealing everyone's copyrighted material in the first place) it simply showcases just how thuggish and antidemocratic the brain trust behind this company truly is.

In a nutshell this is like a thief breaking into your house, stealing all your underwear and jewelry -- and then going to the judge to compel you to produce receipts to prove that it's all yours. And certificates of origin to prove they aren't all counterfeits.

I had to use authy for damn twitch which couldn't go for normal authenticator. Thank you -.-
I’m not sure. I’m not too familiar with this. I’d just recommend checking so you don’t get into some silly trouble.
Not sure about "most skilled", as there are some very good machinist with skills in different areas. I'd say he's definatley the most patient, learning and explaining ancient methods and every step along the way. And the videos are certainly of the most visually appealing.
Australia has become SO competitive for solar and battery installation you can actually be fairly safe nowadays just picking any old supplier that has >4.7* on google and there'll almost definitely be <10% price difference (that's the WA experience anyway).

Going with a door knocking sales rep for home batteries would be madness in most countries but chances are pretty good that in Australia you would get a perfectly decent product.
AWS to build $1.3B top-secret cloud for Australia's government
I'd like to see this reform happen in my country, Australia. The two major political parties always last at least 2 terms in government. (There are no midterms like in the USA). And both parties have their flaws. An MMP system might allow the smaller parties to force compromise on the brittleness of the thinking of the major parties. Labor with its policies that disregard economic consequences (boosting immigration to very high levels while the housing industry is experiencing high cost inflation) vs liberals/nationals with their heads buried in the sand about climate change and being constrained by the ultraconservative factions from making any useful centrist reforms.

Of course it's a major change to the system of government and never going to happen.
Time to reinvent Java style reverse FQDN for user handles! IMO short username or alphanumerical ID is a must so as not to get into The Falsehoods.
The irony of using a chatbot to gain insight into the current problems with the job market
> I love that I can just use my phone for virtually everything I use my laptop for (developing probably being the only obsticle).

I used to write software on my phone using termux (usually via DeX).
If I'm not mistaken, the berries can also be used to make a drink (iirc mixed with lemonade).
Isn’t it against their self interest? If my iPhone is acting as my laptop with just an additional screen, why would I buy a Mac book.
EU and USA also give direct subsidies to vehicle manufacturers. I'm just not buying the narrative that all these huge tariffs on Chinese goods are merely to combat "illegal" subsidies. That implies that Chinese industries are not profitable, in which case -- where is the money coming from? There are large tariffs on nearly every category of good shipped from China.

The USA put a 266% tariff on Chinese steel[0]. Is china really only charging the USA 26% of their cost for producing steel? And just eating the other 74% losses? If it was a handful of products, this might make sense but I've seen this "illegal support / dumping" claim for nearly everything coming out of China. If it was all true, they'd be bankrupt!

It costs about 10 times as much to build a chemical plant in the USA vs. building it in China. At some point we have to accept that money genuinely just goes further in China, and adapt to that the best we can. Maybe that means consolidation to create greater economies of scale for expensive nearly-fully automated factories, and balancing that consolidation by opening up our markets to real competition from China. Maybe it means using Neo-colonialism to build up competing countries industry who also have large pools of inexpensive labor. Yes, any solution is painful, and perhaps I'd be more accepting of tariffs if they went directly to the right citizens to ease the economic pain of job losses in each sector. At some point though, we have to come to some kind of reckoning instead of burying our heads in the sand and trying to just keep the status quo of everything being super expensive.

Lithium batteries are more than capable of starting cars, and at a fraction of the size (just look up "car starters" and the like on Amazon - those are usually a tiny lithium battery that you pull 50c from). The thing is they are usually much pricier for an equivalent size battery and have problems in the cold that make them unsuitable in some climates.
The "hipster" boring phone looks like prison tech. A clear plastic case and a significantly reduced UI. I bet the speaker is intentionally quiet, too, with the marketing idea that it "saves your ears" (another hallmark of prison electronics).

Did someone actually take prison tech to market it to hipsters?
That's a mouthful of a name
Thanks. I'd suggest this security problem is severe enough to warrant a few duplicate posts!
Re: the manual driver updates. Recently I put a clean Win11 install on an ASUS Meteor Lake laptop for someone, and Windows downloaded and installed all the latest drivers automatically (along with a bunch of fresh bloatware, natch). Maybe Qualcomm is working with Microsoft so their drivers will get updated the same way?
I meant this kind of thing to fall under #1. Don't do work that can be avoided includes pulling 1M rows * a bunch of columns you don't need over the network.

From your description though, it doesn't sound like something I'd classify as a network issue. That's just classic orm nonsense. I guess I don't know what you mean by "distributed query", but it sounds terrible.

The most classic network performance issue is forgetting to disable nagle's algorithm.

The most classic sql performance issue is not using an index.
This hypothesis does not sound plausible and tells more about your own world view than anything else.
Well it depends which space they want to be taken seriously in. Currently the 741 is very poor when compared to any dGPU or Apple. It only favourably compares to iGPUs.

I believe they have three options

1. Say it’s meant to be like an iGPU, and work on supporting dGPUs to complement it.

2. Say that they want to compete with dGPUs/Apple and risk losing their mobile crown. Which is what Apple did in exchange for one design across all products.

3. Say they want to have a split product portfolio. A more desktop focused GPU for Snapdragon X with a more mobile centric one for 8xx
Robot? It’s more like a remote-control exoskeleton.
I finally made it! I am 27 years old and I only had failed projects. My last project was different. I built a telegram bot that acts like a Dapp for solana, it;s purpose is to do micro buys and sells on solana tokens to increase volume. So far I have 621 customers, and I am making 500-1500$ daily from tx fees!
RSA can technically sign any arbitrary data like this -- it's fine, but you run the risk that any arbitrary set of bytes might accidentally look valid. Unpadded encryption/signing is the worst. PKCS padding is better because you at least need to decrypt to `0x00 || 0x01 || PS || 0x00 || <message>`, but the more flexible the data you're signing, even if padded, the less secure it is.

It's far more secure to sign a hash and prepend that to the data itself because that means you need to have a very specific number of padding bytes that match, and you need a way to generate data with arbitrary hashes. This is pretty difficult.

If you're just signing arbitrary data, there is a real risk that someone can construct something that yields valid data.

Where you get killed is that technically, every 256 bytes decrypts to a message -- it's the proportion of valid to invalid messages (and how usable an arbitrary valid message is) that really defines the security of the system.

In this case, you just need something that decrypts to a string having N pipes and a string of M digits. Based on some very basic napkin math, that should happen in under or around a billion trials. Inserting your name and an arbitrary degree -- that's going to be a lot more expensive!
Reminds me of Razer project Linda (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gKu-T13vXs )
Current I publish 2 walking videos per week on YouTube [1] also with a GPX Animation in the intro. For the GPX track I currently use the free GPX Animator [1] with some scripting of the CLI args.

I have experimented also with Mapbox and Remotion and could get nicer results than GPX Animator but it's not even worth the render time. Same for Google Earth Studio - it's just too slow as I often create batches of 5-6 videos per day. How long does one 20s video take to render - 4K60?

One thing I'd love to have is not just the GPX track but photos or video snippets popping up geo-located - maybe even info boxes for more than just a moving line. This could be coming from Wikipedia etc or some custom JSON data. There is potential to improve map animations but I can't see how I would recoup the cost per video. For me it would be worth less than $0.50 per video on my volume of 100+ videos per year. The web interface and video looks nice though the pricing is out of reach.

I wish you success and maybe there really is a market for premium priced GPX Animations. For me personally this could only work as a standalone app in the $30-$50 price range only.

Good job on the polishing!

I’ve heard recently that a lot of the research funding for looking for the Loch Ness Monster is to marine biologists, who study the life in the lake (and also look for a monster a little bit, as a treat).
Not really any more than any other brand.

Apple are pretty much the only major SoC company who don’t brand the CPU and GPU independently
I think you're the one missing something. I just searched that exact phrase and all the sources I can find says they play the sound through the interior sound system. Can you find me a source that says otherwise? I can't.
So, in your words "equality" does not mean "everything is equal" and you mention "military" as an example. Did I get that right? You think that requiring half of the population - purely by gender - to perform forced labor for 12 months... is an example of "equality"? I would say it's a rather blatant example of inequality!

This article was very "old man yells at cloud".
If we're to leave a beloved item from a story behind, discussing that items place in that story is not too be overlooked. [spoilers] The Primer is given to Nell who is able to rise above her station and save the world, with the help of some friends and the Primer. Who doesn't want to save the world? Outside of fiction that might be too grandiose an idea to express out loud, but it's a very alluring idea. To replace the Primer as the North Star, you'd need a new short story, of the kind Cory Doctorow writes, just not all pessimistic, of a New Advanced Knowledge Compendium, guiding a young adult, instead of an orphan child, to find meaning in life as a data scientist at a non-profit and not a FAANG. or something.

Thing is, we do manipulate children. They're children and malleable and we teach them a sorts of lessons, starting with potty training and where's appropriate to pee and poop, along with work ethic, honesty, the idea of personal property and intellectual property and not stealing or cheating. When to lie, when no to.

What's alluring about the Primer is the idea that there's a guide to life. Who hasn't made some sort of social faux pas and wished they hadn't done that? If only I'd learned about whatever, I wouldn't have done this embarrassing thing! A more thorough exploration of the Primer's allure needs to be done before it can be replaced.
That's incorrect. I just did some searching and they play the sounds through the interior sound system.
I'd rather have a few bevy posts every month than the daily deluge of AI articles.
Apple loves 1984 theme, 4 decades ago they even made a commercial with reference to it
I'm aware of that. We're talking about artificial engine sounds, though.
So that's why one unit Celcius is roughly 2 units Fahrenheit!

For some reason I never noticed there are exactly 180 degrees between freezing and boiling points on the Fahrenheit scale. 100°C is a nice "round" number, and 180°F divides evenly into a lot of smaller numbers.

We have two chest freezers and an upright freezer. The chest freezers outlast the upright freezer, and there's no shelves* to get in the way of optimal packing.

*However, you have to unpack when you want something from the bottom. This is why we have an upright freezer. We store cheese curds from our dairy in it, and we want to access them quickly and easily and regularly. Also we use ice packs for shipping, and the shelves make it easy to freeze ice packs flat.

i'd be more willing to suspect the cookware than the foods given the sampling method and the particular foods mentioned.

This is about - a critique of - "The Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer” ... futuristic interactive schoolbook, described in Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age. And ideas for what would be better.

(@dang, please give people-who-post extra points for making the title on HN more helpful than the original (as a general rule, with occasional exceptions))
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it :)

Also thank you for the insight on RSA functionality, that makes a lot of sense! I didn't realise why hashing is used.

The issue with generating a valid string is, as detailed at the very end of the post, that you need at least a pipes before and b pipes after the digits which need to be between to pipes. That narrows the possibilities down quite a bit.
the real convergence will happen eventually, when Google merges Android with ChromeOS and we will get the worst of both worlds
I have one of the originals too, I only use it in an emergency (e.g. maintaining a Raspberry Pi) because the trackpad is so awful - I can't type on it because the cursor jumps all over the place.

That basically shattered my dream of leaving my work laptop at home on short business trips. Well, that and it weighs as much as a laptop anyway so there wasn't actually a benefit.
A rough approximation might be a Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS in grayscale mode. That's my daily driver.
Interesting read. I guess I'm mostly interested in on number 2 here:

Under this point of view, a property-based testing library is really two parts:
1. A fuzzer.
2. A library of tools for making it easy to construct property-based tests using that fuzzer.

What should I (we?) be building on top of Go's fuzzer to make it easier to construct property-based tests?

My current strategy is to interpret a byte stream as a sequence of "commands", let those be transitions that drive my "state machine", then test all invariants I can think of at every step.

OP is wrong anyway. Everything is art. Art is about interpretation not determinism.

What’s your process or weekly schedule for learning so many languages at once? What resources do you use or how do you approach a language?
That sounds a bit theoretical in this context, I am sure auto makers would love to save the costs of external speakers, so the incentive is there to drop them if the sounds were not mandated.
Show HN: Winternet, modular blog/social media framework
'agile' can mean anything from a slightly reductive but generally useful process to a mind numbing waste of time where no one is really allowed to do anything at all except talk about the work they're ostensibly supposed to be doing. if hiring companies were more clear, we could steer well clear of the latter. but they all say 'oh, yeah, we just have a lightweight agile process, not really a big deal, we're trying to do it right, not like those other terrible people'.

everyone whose been in the industry knows how to deal with the former. look, if you need daily status from me that i'm not just going to volunteer anyways, fine, its not a huge overhead. if you me to track my work with tickets, not gonna kill me. if you want me to meet every two weeks to make some plans, i can do that.

thats not what people have a problem with. not being able to actually make plans because we're supposed to come up with our own sprint goals is. spending 1 week out of every two 'planning' is. aurguing about the proper number of story points for a given task is. incessantly arguing about how we can cut up the work so it it nicely fits into 3-4 stories per sprint or whatever management wants is. at some point the management narrative completely overwhelms the actual work at hand.

omg i forgot some of the even bigger ones. expecting me to squeeze in all the other parts of my job like mentoring new hires or meeting with product or responding to issues in prod without messing up your sprint schedule. or undermining my ability to make any plans longer than a sprint because that contradicts your desire to tell simple stories and interchange workers.
The feasability is the same whether you crush a drive or erase it normally. A serious company would worry about the people who are inside your network reading the live drives, not campfire scare stories about drives magically remembering previous values.

Drives are extremely dense. If there were any way to store a value and still have any remnants of the old one, we would have slapped an error-correcting code on it and used that effect to double drive density.

Companies who believe in this magical spare capacity to read values that have been overwritten suffer from an entirely irrational fear. A paranoia that there is always a possibility.

The actual, non-theoretical possibility of recovering customer data is those companies being hacked by bored teenagers or everyday ransomware. Not empty drives.
Technically it's Windows' "here's a string of the commandline, go parse it yourself" (vs. argv array) that's the issue as every program can interpret quoting, escaping etc. differently. All these programs being from MS (powershell, cmd) does make them a little guiltier I guess.

The last generation of Windows Phone had convergence that provided a version of this. Allowed you to run UWP apps on a Windows desktop. But like many things in the Windows phone universe, it was simultaneously 10 years ahead and 10 years behind.

I miss the thing all the time.

We often had 100baseT and it was quite snappy for text heavy coms and reasonably sized images from the net. 9600 was already faster than you can read, this was an order of magnitude faster. Quake deathmatch was incredible, I remember getting almost twenty folks on a server once. :D

At some point I procured a 1600x1200 monitor… but not until a later job after 2k with an SGI was my computer able to handle that resolution comfortably.

I don’t understand what they are calling for either. I’ve answered a few and most of the time it’s a dead line when I answer. Just silence.
I strongly disagree after writing JS full time, and as a hobby, for 15 years. Normally when people argue against vanilla JS it’s because they never learned to write original applications (in any language), or if they are in management it’s just more expedient to churn through employees than train them to program.

Either way the OP has to both learn and deliver a product in a short time frame. It just makes more sense to cut out all the unnecessary bullshit developers use to compensate with.
Also well documented are attacks against stores of hashed passwords, esp. pre-built dictionary attacks.

There are more ways to do that wrong than right.

Of course, that is irrelevant to my point: even if you do store them all properly, you are still going to get attacked.

Don’t give people such terrible advice unless you also tell them how to protect themselves.

Hello HN,
I'd really like to learn the way AOSP forks are built for different hardware.
The sites of these forks seem quite hostile towards anyone who's going to ask them about it.
