Things break. Moving things break much more frequently. In space, where any error can easily be fatal, you generally want to keep things as simple as possible to complete the task at hand. As well, when things break you want them to be as easy to repair as possible. Complexity should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, or in cases where the benefit provided is tremendous. Extremely lengthy spacewalks won't happen for numerous reasons (oxygen, battery, exhaustion, radiation, and so on) so that's not really even a desirable goal.
TVB specifically is exclusive to the i9 product line, but K SKUs in the i7 line have also experienced a heightened occurrence of stability issues.

So you kind of have to go all in on Turbo boost 3.0 as the issue and then explain why the non-K variants of the i7 and i9 don't seem to have the same frequency of occurrence.
From the README:

* Pushing with docker is limited to images that have layers of maximum size 500MB. Refer to maximum request body sizes in your Workers plan.

* To circumvent that limitation, you can manually add the layer and the manifest into the R2 bucket or use a client that is able to chunk uploads in sizes less than 500MB (or the limit that you have in your Workers plan).
Some new news in the article and comment:

- [security expert] "This [logs without timestamps] isn’t one of their main databases; it is metadata on who is contacting who. Its only real use is to know who is contacting whom and how many times."

- [commenter] "I have a theory that this call log was being used for a national security investigation. Otherwise why would this rise to the level of public safety/national security exemption?" [with two DOJ-approved 1-month delays for disclosure]

So, someone set up a separate Snowflake instance with mostly May-Oct 2022 AT&T data (90% former customers) apparently for that purpose. And left it up. Will anyone in Congress (e.g. Sen Ron Wyden) ask who did and why? (Another commenter on HN pointed out that Roe v Wade was overturned 6/2022, presumably that was not the intent of the original national-security investigation, but there's a potential for privacy abuse by the hackers' customers beyond everyday spam)

- In early 2023, Snowflake set up a unit especially for Telco data.
But when you read the blurb (below), this product is not aimed at the telco's use-case; coincidentally this was also around the time Snowflake was touting integration with GenAI.

"Unlocking the Value of Telecom Data: Why It’s Time to Act" https://www.snowflake.com/blog/telecom-data-partnerships/

"Telecoms are the connecting tissue of the modern economy. They run everything... growing importance... hyperconnectivity.

What makes telecom service providers unique is that they have access to consumer location data. For most other industries, a consumer can go into their phone’s privacy settings and turn off the location access in the smartphone app. But in the world of telecom, as long as the phone is connected to a network, the telecom provider can use triangulation to find the approximate location of a consumer. This is why there is an emerging trend of companies [which ones?] building partnerships with telecoms to power use cases across multiple industries from competitor intelligence, alternate credit scoring, hyper-targeted marketing and more.

... Yet, despite the importance of telecommunications for society and in connecting industries, network operators are not yet fully embracing the value of the data they have at their fingertips"

But the value of this data (90% former customers) was clearly not to the telco itself... so who is the unnamed partnership and who is the end-customer? And was one of Snowflake's AI partners involved?

Overall a very fair post. A few notes:

> mobile client sends a notification by default for any activity

This is a setting on a per-server basis, “Default Notification Settings” although it doesn’t effect “Highlight notifications” or poll notifications if the user has participated in a poll, so it leaves something to be desired.

> no active ruby bot library

I’ve used Discord.rb, and it may not meet the author’s definition of active, but it does exist.

> complicated subscription structure with unclear pricing (but probably <$20/m)

Discord is free. “Boosting” or paying at a server level is completely voluntary and unlocks mostly cosmetic features.

> mobile app is noticeably slower at everything

This one I don’t get. On my 5-year-old iPhone the Discord mobile app is pretty snappy. “slower” than what?
It mentions Dumas held a eulogy for him. Dumas father came from a similar family background: He was the son of a French nobleman and a Caribbean slave, and Dumas' grandfather bought his father free and brought him to France, where he ended up a general under Napoleon.

So tired of the dragon chasing with gaming graphics. The fruit they are chasing today is so low hanging yet demands such powerful hardware just to do something like render a beam of light through the woods. Meanwhile the game hardly looks better than crysis outside of that, especially when you are, you know, focused on playing the game and not pixel peeping. I wish developers put more effort into compatibility and cross platform support but I guess its not the developers making the engines after all, they are kind of beholden to them.
Finally.

Its insane that all of a sudden everyone that pays a bit money can have a "verified" checkmark, while claiming to be someone else.

Ask HN: How do you find new games to play?
I'm trying to break down the mental processes that occur when trying to find new games to play.

If you could answer a few of these questions, that would be greatly appreciated! :D

- How do you usually discover new games?

- What are aspects of games that you enjoy?

- Do you think finding new games to play is easy? If not, what do you wish was easier to find new games?

- What's your most recent favorite game? How did you find that game?

i don’t think credit freezing matters too much in this case because the leak wasn’t tied to SSN, name, etc. that would be used for identity theft. it was phone call and location data. much worse for privacy but less useful for financial fraud.
Being an astronaut on the ISS is the most "in a prison" setting imaginable. Get out of that small box and you will die in seconds. It is also a dangerous, unhealthy and demanding job. And yet, it is also one of the most sought after job.

Less prestigious jobs but also desirable to some are sailors, or worse, submariners, and people working in Antarctica and other remote, hostile places.

Speaking about countries, North Korea is an oppressive dictatorship, but at least, it is not at war, and crime is limited. There are countries where your freedoms are just as or even more limited because you risk getting killed, mugged, kidnapped, etc... if you leave your armored vehicle and armed escort.

The positives of living in North Korea includes getting familiar with one of the most secretive culture in the world. There are some reports about North Koreans being quite joyful. People can have really shitty lives: war, crippling diseases, etc... and still find joy, so that shouldn't be surprising. And also, the article mentions travels, so, not really a prison.

And of course, there is the obvious aspect of compensation, which is probably substantial.
The root cause (1) is the data store should not have been available on the underlay network. Anything connected to an underlay network is a ticking time bomb.

Any servers or admins which need to talk to the data store should instead use a private overlay (2) network.

Any users (likely just remote admins) should do the same.

(1) Same root cause as 99% of breaches and yet it is too often swept under the rug while we focus on the infinite # of proximate causes

(2) Software, not private circuits.
I'm not familiar with an app showing spectra of pigments as used in painting, etc. Some high-end printers (plotters) incorporate spectrophotometers to measure properties of colors, but that's a highly controlled use of colorants.

In contrast, a painter can use a color in thick or thin layers, mixed with white, or clear medium, among other variations. And pigments can work differently in oil vs. acrylic vs. watercolor media. The spectrophotometric properties of a pigment change depending on usage so the information gleaned from measurement would probably not be that useful.

OTOH some manufacturers offer visual color mixing guides that can be helpful to artists. Here's one I've used from time to time:

This offers matching artists colors to RGB or CMYK specifications.

Its one thing to lay-off employees, I understand executives not wanting to take responsibility of the problems they created, human selfish behaviour and such.

Its a whole another thing to kick those workers when they are down. Imagine trying to find a job in this difficult tech market and being labelled as an underperformer! That's just plain evil !

Not sure if its possible, but I hope this turns into a defamation class action lawsuit by the former employees against Intuit.

Great demonstration. Thanks for pointing that out as a motivation.
Cool deepdive into syscalls! We've built a deterministic simulator in Python to test the performance of our medical device under different scenarios, and have handled this problem with a few very simple approaches:

1. Run each simulation in its own process, using eg multiprocessing.Pool

2. Processes receive a specification for the simulation as a simple dictionary, one key of which is "seeds"

3. Seed the global RNGs we use (math.random and np.random) at the start of each simulation

4. For some objects, we seed the state separately from the global seeds, run the random generation, then save the RNG state to restore later so we can have truly independent RNGs

5. Spot check individual simulations by running them twice to ensure they have the same results (1/1000, but this is customizable)

This has worked very well for us so far, and is dead simple.
I think it's also region dependent. I notice a lot of Americans have this strong drive to be a "winner" and are very sensitive to negative criticism. The same in southern Europe (though without the ambition but they are certainly sensitive)

In the Netherlands and Germany however we are pretty blunt and can tell people if we don't like something they did and they don't really take it personal if we're not an ass about it.

So for us a downvote button would be pretty normal.
This has nothing to do with propaganda lmao.

Yes, you fully understood me! Thank you for further explaining what I'm getting at.

I find myself able to 'co-navigate' a question or idea with the LLM, better than most other people around me, as defined by quality of model output. But it's just now dawning on me that this might be explained by more than me having greater general knowledge, or having a certain personality.

Somehow, I have an intuition for what words or phrases the LLM might have a tendency to overfit on, so I avoid those in my prompts. I likewise know what words to specifically use or emphasize so that I can trigger the LLM to tap into a certain knowledge-pool based on those.

When I see my friends engage with LLMs, I witness the lower quality output they get because they are not deploying the same intuitions in their prompts, and it's hard to teach them.
Same. But I quit drinking too.
I don't buy into that theory, at lrast in this case. There are other ways to hand-off data when it is legally requested. On the other hand, such data would be valuable to foreign actors who do not have a legal means of accessing such data. It would require a high degree of incompetence to sacrifice national security in the name of convenience.

Your intuition is right, and can be explained by looking at both the visible spectrogram and also the CIE diagram. In the former, what we call green takes up an inordinate amount of the spectrum. In the latter, green clearly takes up the largest amount of area of any well defined color.

Your eye is most receptive to green, in both the narrow and broad sense. The absolute peak is a green, and of any reasonable, well defined broad grouping of spectra, the greenest one is the one your eye will be most receptive to.

Also interestingly, the two colors that dovetail into colors we cannot see on either end, red and violet, we are the least receptive to.

You can see this play out in real survey results from XKCD: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

> why he sought to rob the "checkmarks" of their status symbol by commoditizing it, rather than coming up with some new symbol for paying customers.

Why do paying customers need any public symbol?

In other words, why not get rid of blue checkmarks altogether, create a subscriber system with benefits, and... that's all?

It seems to me that the only reason to reuse the blue checkmarks and publicly award them to subscribers is to entice people to pay to get some of the previous cachet of the blue checkmarks. Otherwise, what's the point? It's inherently misleading, and that's the point, the goal of the new system.

Remember when Musk forced the blue checkmarks back on non-paying celebrities, whether they wanted the blue checkmarks or not? It's difficult to interpret that as other than a ploy to restore some prestige to the checkmarks and mislead Twitter readers about who has paid for them and who has not.
You know that's not true. It's all well documented.

There were multiple ways to do it as long as you stayed inside one very narrow ecosystem; JARs from the JVM, Python's virtualenv, kind of PHP, I think Ruby had something? But containers gave you a single way to do it for any of those ecosystems.
