The malicious commit was designed to be confusing, as noted in the first comment of the investigation:

2001(?) I got an email from a client and it said "Debbie would like to revoke the earlier email". Might not have said 'revoke' but something like that. And there were a lot of extra headers I hadn't seen before. After some questioning, I got that they'd just installed some Exchange server setup (or whatever the direct predecessor was?) and you could undo email. But the 'undo' was to send an email revoking the earlier one. MAPI/internal clients understood it; to external clients like me, it was just another email. I'm not sure they (the client) quite understood that they couldn't 'undo' emails to me, because they could do it just fine to everyone else (inside the company).
Show HN: Pour Decision – Mindful Drinking Companion
I made an alcohol tracker app!

Pour Decision works best for controlling drinking rather than quitting completely. It comes at a one-time payment rather than a subscription model.

Here are some of the features:

- Set personalized goals, log your intake.

- Pre-set DB of common drinks and cocktails.

- Detailed analytics: weekly, monthly and yearly breakdown of all data

- Log water intake, helps remember to hydrate

- Log and track calories, money spent on alcohol

Some of the planned features:

- Apple watch companion app to log from your wrists

- Integration with Apple Health

- Heath map style "year-in-drinking" calendar

What do y'all think?

Ask HN: Can I get a ~1K loan on HN to get more investment into my R&D startup?
Hi, HN users.
I am in a dire situation to receive a large investment for my R&D startup and in order to release the investment I need to pay ~1000$ for some formalities and documents. I live in Lithuania and only have some property there to offer as a collateral. I know there may be some kind users here, maybe someone can lend me 1000$? Or offer the ways to lend this 1000$ elsewhere for LT citizens with property as a collateral?

I should return the 1K loan in a month, in case everything is ok. But given my property as a collateral, may be this can ensure that I will return the loan amount some time in the future anyways.

Thanks

From the article: "Infineon did not report the flaw to NASA because the company did not know what the transistors would be used for, Fitzpatrick said."

They might not have "known", but come on, you're selling radiation-hardened chips to NASA. You can sure make an educated guess that they might be used for a probe.

I'm guessing there's a clause missing in the contract that says Infineon must disclose all known problems to NASA regardless of how the chips will be used.

Regardless, there are some people at NASA to whom 'Infineon' is now a curse word.

I’m going to push back on the advice to learn higher grade math rather than competition math, as I feel the author is ignoring an important skill that competition math helps develop. They allude it in passing:

> A student can wrestle with a competition problem for long periods of time, and all the teacher needs to do is give a hint once in a while and check the student’s work once they claim to have solved the problem.

Wrestling with a problem for long periods of time is not just a convenience for the teacher, it is a skill that will serve students well for decades to come. Sitting with a problem that you don’t know how to solve for hours, trying various approaches, failing and failing and trying again, is a life skill that learning calculus two years early won’t teach you.

Many of the tactics used in competition problems are also useful in general quantitative situations: identifying symmetries, invariant quantities, properties that can only increase under perturbations.

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing whether your Bill Gates context includes his years at Microsoft, or only as a philanthropist with sketchy friends.

If the former, you'll need to present an argument that Microsoft did not hold back the entire industry for 20 years with low quality products, severe user-hostility, and monopolistic practices.

If the latter, you should read up about the 1980s and 1990s and early 2000s.
Your understanding is correct, though I believe that you, jordanb and me are tilting at windmills (as most commenters seem to think the laws are insane without even trying to understand the dynamics behind them).

Craig Wright admits he isn't the inventor of Bitcoin after judgment in UK
For me LLM's are on a different page of the tech book (the models/algorithms side). The Web as such being literally about computer networks, interconnectedness of people and machines and sharing information [1].

It is possible though that the more widespread adoption of data science / ML / AI stacks will make a newly decentralized Web more interesting (along the lines of federated learning etc.)

It may take a while. You don't need gigantic language models to create interesting things in this direction but the current environment is not conducive, that is why it is not happening. Five to ten years is not an unreasonable projection (assuming nothing extraordinary happens in the meantime).

[1] Perversely, LLM's would be much harder without the old Web making lots of data available, but that is a different story.
I think you have it backwards.

Let's say somebody is making $1K/month from UBI. They might take a job that pays $1/hour because the difference between $1K/month and $1160/month is very significant.

And there'd be no reason to stop jobs from paying $1/hour because everybody already gets UBI.
Or programming language design. However, I think during the process, things are still distilled so that new common patterns are incorporated. I am sure null-terminated strings were not a particularly bad idea in the 70s given the constraints developers faced at the time. It's just that later we have different constraints and have gained more experience, thus finally realizing that it is an unsafe design.
You’re oddly specific so I assume you’re speaking to your experience, but your case would be survivor bias.

Academia does pander to the masses, and it provides a path to take a person off the street and turn them into a somewhat of a knowledge expert in a range of disciplines.

You also hope that your nurse practitioner, physician or surgeon didn’t take a self-taught path.
It sounds like you got a lot of responses. Naturally, when you get a lot of responses to something, it feels very intense. So it’s natural to think that the people responding to you feel that same level of intensity that you do.

This is, usually, not true. But I can understand why you’d feel that way… I can understand why you feel like you’ve stepped on some kind of religious tenet.

In reality, it’s just a bunch of people independently replying to you. They’re not offended, it just feels intense to you because of how many people are replying. The same thing happens, for example, on Stack Overflow if you say something technically wrong, and ten people independently correct you. It feels like some kind of attack, even when it is not.

Yes, but that's an NVIDIA project, so would be expected to be hand optimized, same as their cuDNN kernels.

I'm more curious about what types of model people in research or industry are developing, where NVIDIA support such as this is not enough, and they are developing their own PTX kernels.
Nah, RISC-V looked at that and decided to formalize the concept of extensions properly and put it through a proper standards process instead of letting it be dominated by the whims of manufacturer's product and marketing pipeline.
Not working. It's not listing various channels that I am in.
Stating this alternatively, it removes the need for coordination and communication and allows teams to work independently. Which is good.
If it is funded by taxation, it need not be inflationary.

If you think about it, the Fed only really has one "knob" they can turn to control inflation: they can either raise or lower the interest rates.

However, raising taxes is also anti-inflationary, and in stagflationary environments (like we had at the end of Trump's presidency), it lets the government control inflation without making borrowing more expensive.

And then there's the assumption that you'd write it in that way, and in that order. There might be situations where you'd want to use the Hungarian and write "Neumann János" instead.

I.e. the assumption that the family names come last is not necessarily correct even in Europe. Let alone if one deals with the various Chinese languages, Japanese, or Korean. And probably others.
though I believe in RISC-V‘s case what will happen is that every vendor will have that realization at the same time, not tell anyone and make an extension and now there‘s five different incompatible encodings for the same operation.

This is probably also a flawed analogy applying simple ideas to an extremely complex system / set of overlapping systems, but I see UBI as a sort of social and economic lubricant.

People at the bottom of the economy are not able to effectively participate in it. At the absolute bottom it's homeless people with no real path to employment or any real ability to improve their situation. You get above that layer and you've got people making constant compromises between competing necessities like housing, nutrition, and clothing.

Inconsistent and/or substandard nutrition can be massively impacting to adults and even more so to children. Their immediate and long term mental and physical capability is lessened compared to others. People who aren't able to effectively participate in the economy today have kids who aren't able to effectively participate in the economy tomorrow. This creates a persistent drag on the economy as a whole.

It's absolutely possible UBI causes some degree of price increases, but in exchange we get an economy with a larger number of effective participants and less drag at the bottom.
>So, you’re saying it’s convenient for management, yes? Making things convenient for management at the expense of the front-line workers inverts the priorities of a company.

You'd end up having a points system whether you like it or not. If it wasn't story points, it'd be days/weeks/months estimates.

Almost nowhere you will find "it's done when it's done, don't bother me until it's done" as an option for a developer.

If you want an even more utopian arrangement, management would know how to look at git and use the software once in a while to see how things are progressing.

If you're thinking of a UBI that allows people to live a comfortable life without working, yeah that doesn't seem possible. But if you're thinking of a UBI that prevents homelessness and hunger, it seems possible.

Let's say we set the bare minimum at 1000$ per month.

That gives us 1000$ * 260,000,000 adults * 12 months ~= 3 trillion$ per year. That's around half of the federal government spending for 2023. I know 1000$ doesn't seem like a lot but if you live in a low density area with roommate(s) and eat a lot of rice[0], it's do-able. Of course, living in a costly area wouldn't be possible for people who solely survive on UBI. The UBI could even be upped to 1,500$ and still leave government with 1.5 trillion to spend.

No, what you’re describing is a “take from the rich and give to the poor” welfare program. The idea behind UBI is that everyone gets the same amount regardless of what they otherwise make. If those who make more are taxed more, and thus ultimately net less, how is that in any way “universal”? And for that matter, how is that any different from what we already have?

What you are describing as UBI is nothing more than disguised calls for increased taxes on the rich and greater welfare for the poor. Which, fine, if that’s what you want then why not be honest about it in the first place instead of couching it in misleading terms such as “UBI”?

Having logical, or indeed even sympathetic, reasons for doing bad things does not excuse doing bad things. This is the entire point, and how history should be studied, because it emphasizes the underlying lessons to be learned. In this thread every attempt to paint the researchers as evil racists is relatively easy to factually rebuke. And it's because they weren't. They easily could have been you or I. And this is why it's so important to study history and actually try to genuinely understand the perspective of bad individuals.

Basically the entirety of evils in human history is people saying 'Okay, I know I'm doing bad things. But I'm a good person and I have very good, exceptional, reasons for doing these bad things. And once this is over we'll have a much better world for everybody, so it's okay in this instance.' And a lot of the times, the logic and rhetoric used is appealing. This is why it's so absolutely important to understand it, study it, and endeavor to never fall into such rationalization ever again. Because after all is said and done, this grand utopia we envision at the end will likely never come to pass, or anything even like it - whether or not we succeed, yet all of these evils done in the name of the pursuit of such absolutely do come to pass.
