I think you underestimate how big the number of 2^128 ECDSA operations are. It is 20 orders of magnitude bigger than the puzzle that was just solved (that took 2 years). There is no way we scale our compute that much in 70 years unless we start building Dyson spheres.

The project this “cloned” is just a data visualization tool. You can plug any data into it - good data, bad data.

They are launching an AI model which they claim produces higher quality weather data than traditional models relying on physical simulation. And they used this visualization library to make an engaging website.

Constructively, you have gotten to this position by overreacting to a perceived “clone” and failing to be enlightened by the numerous comments and the original post explaining the purpose.

Respectfully, I suggest you take a breath and try to disassociate from whatever emotional reaction you are having about this.
As far as I am aware, everything is turned on. I know the EyeSight feature is on. I will have to take another look at the user manual and see if I am missing something.
If we were talking about developers in general, perhaps, but we're specifically talking about good developers. They exist at the intersection of understanding the business, what customers are actually saying, and understanding the technology. Without that, what would make them good?

That's the point. It's not. But it was painted as such because it made for great (cough cough) "journalism".
I'm guessing the "book" in question would be something akin to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOD-STD-2167A

Which, given that that's a military spec, also speaks to a motivation for such a tightly controlled approach: the cost of design changes is truly immense. When you have a large government project with MANY different contractors working on different pieces of the system, a lot of Agile principles need to go out the window. The spec needs to be fairly well nailed down up front because a late change that affects adjacent systems gets really expensive when those adjacent systems are being managed by a completely different company. That requirements tweak may now be a full on contract renegotiation. And, as Boeing's recent woes illustrate, communication among all the subcontractors may be so poor that even identifying the potential impact of a specification change may be difficult to do reliably.

Not such a big deal in a lot of tech projects where it's relatively inexpensive to solve problems as you find them. But Mars rovers don't get to have canary deployments.

Also, even then, it's still not really "textbook" waterfall.
It was definitely the dominant conceptual approach, but I think it's an open question how much it was actually followed versus just being the lies everybody agreed to tell the executive caste.

One way I've weaned people off waterfall approaches is just to tell them yes, of course that's what we're doing, but to make it extra safe, we'll produce software early and often so you can see progress. Then eventually I'll slip in getting users to try it, just for "testing". And then getting it deployed early, for more "testing". The smart ones get engaged in this process, using it to making things better than the initial conceptions. They may produce waterfall documents for a while, especially if they need to pacify higher ups. But often they'll just forget. I think them GANTT charts and the like were always a ritual to get them feelings of control, and they stop doing that work once they have actual control.

So I suspect a lot of the nominal waterfall projects of yore were similarly made to work by developers just doing the right thing in quiet ways while saying, "Oh, that's 90% complete for sure. Mark it on your chart!"

Don't often comment here but I just wanted to say that I feel you. ADHD was crippling for me my whole life and you really do develop a whole host of weird little layers of protection, either against yourself or against how you expect others to treat you. I'm 36 and got prescribed meds last year and it was a profound experience being able to cast off all the rituals and just... function. It is certainly frustrating to consider what one could have accomplished with this ability at, say, the age of 18 instead... but that way lies madness. At least we can build our future.

> I don't consider it a "strawman" so much as a "simplification"

I consider it a straw man because, as the agile crowd describes it, there appears to be no such thing as "waterfall". Perhaps that is the result of comical oversimplification rather than a conscious attempt at deception (I believe this is the case), but it still results in standing up a straw man so it can be knocked down.
A ripoff of the visualization layer? Even if it was, who cares? That's not the work. What's next, you think a new chess engine is a ripoff because they use a standard chess board for visualization? A new protein prediction model is a ripoff because they use the standard visualization?
Who is "we"? Because that sounds like a highly localized problem specific to the North American continent.

We lost access to one of our phones numbers recently - moving it from Three (UK) to Smarty (a trading name of Three). No access for 3 weeks over which time I spent hours-and-hours contacting them.

So many things tied to our phone number, including banking authorisation (work, charities, and home), online account auth (2fa), contact from school, contact with family, ... it was an absolute nightmare. The single worst customer support experience of my life AFAIR.

In the UK there are two Ombudsman for such services but one says they won't help until 8 weeks after you report a problem to the company involved (and the other somehow says they won't help at all).

It's really given me resolve to, instead of simplifying and signing the family up to the same services, distributing suppliers to avoid us all being stuck without service at the same time.

To be fair, this is not exactly uncommon for many workloads, even on todays 64bit machines.
I live in a place that was very similar to what you describe. In the last couple years it's become as bad as where I moved from some days.

A lot of it is the surrounding areas have been surrendered to the noise makers and residents in my town are friends with them and they come and go as they please at all hours, unhindered by law enforcement.

But dismayingly, more of the residents are getting louder themselves for whatever reason. The worst part is they by and large follow the speed limit but are still insanely loud so the police just look at it like I'm just annoyed and need to get over it.

It's truly the easiest thing to catch. I can't fathom why there's so little interest at any level of government to tackle this problem.
Germany is struggling to meet its 2% military budget requirement, as mandated by the EU. It's not a non-issue at all. And other budget categories - like healthcare - are already expensive, not only for the government spending but normal people because contributions are rising.

> And you also have to factor in the economic contributions of immigrants, many of whom presumably have jobs and pay taxes.

Yes, a whole third has some form of employment. And employment can also mean a mini job that pays practically no taxes and costs the taxpayer due to additional payments for rent, etc. The number of migrants who actually contribute is small. The rest receives welfare.

WalMart is like 90% of the way there. They'll bring it right this second, for a fee, or tomorrow for free, for anything in its store. 1 day shipping on anything in its warehouses. The only thing they're missing is the random do-dads I seem to need quite often.

I don't think they have the best name reputation. At least people my age, WalMart is synonymous with cheap and poor quality. But that was before the age of dropshipping and Amazon, where now Walmart's offerings are probably actually better quality than a lot of stuff. IMO they probably should have leveraged Jet there instead, but it is what it is.
Europe should be on Europe's side. Not be the lapdog of the United States. But that's unfathomable for many people.

We want to branch out to industries which are highly dependent on weather. That way we can integrate their data together with our core competency: the weather and climate. Some examples include the energy grid, agriculture, logistics, and defense.
Generally fantasy role-playing relies on some historical input, which fills out the world. A game could be set in a place like 13th century Spain with a mix of influences from North African to Western European. Or it could be set in something like the Aztec Empire of around the same time period. The whole game is setup to be pretty flexible - you can project onto it whatever you want, within the basic ruleset.
Higher atmospheric CO2 is actually causing this all around the world. Faster, bigger plants with less nutrient density.
Why should we give them a pass on the metaphor? If that’s not what they mean, they can use different words. It’s telling that they don’t.
It seems like the last several months have seen a trickle of information being leaked since the recent scandals involving Chris Tyson and some video series from former employees "exposing" the channel as basically scripted reality TV (I thought that was already well known, it's pretty obvious if you spend more than a few minutes watching it).

What Donaldson has done is effectively hack the Youtube algorithm, and as a hobby content creator for the last 10 years or so, I find it has been absolutely destructive to the "content" world. He's absolutely right - you're not trying to make the best content, or the best video, or whatever - you're trying to make the best YOUTUBE video, implicitly admitting what youtube floats to the top of recommendation algorithms is NOT any of those things. It's hyper optimized to be as addictive and as least satiating mentally as possible, it's entertainment junk food. At least old-school reality TV had semi interesting people on it.

It's just very saddening for me to watch the "beastification" of youtube and the overall creator space. I make content because I like making it. I make the content I would like to watch. It's secondary to me whether anyone else enjoys it, and that kind of creative spirit is absolutely gone on the web, and I completely believe content quality has suffered from it. To some degree the audience is the problem for demanding it, as sibling comments have pointed out, but I think this is blaming the victim a bit. Youtube also pushes these addicting videos out to people and highly incentivizes it. It'd be like handing out cigarettes at the hospital and blaming the subset of people that get addicted. Sure, it's their fault, but the hospital probably shouldn't be doing that in the first place.
I think Apple PR/Gruber, need to reflect on how these eurosceptic clickbaits are affecting the Apple community in Europe - both developers and consumers. Just a random example from recent months: multiple watch parties have been canceled due to a lack of interest, and it’s becoming difficult to find speakers and sell tickets for developer events.

Beneath the surface, people have shifted from being excited about the platform to feeling, ‘meh, we do what we have to do.’ Apple has never been great with Europe - from language support to missing services, we’re quite used to being a second-tier region. But the constant narrative that it’s somehow our fault that Apple wants to break the rules and get away with it is too much to swallow.
I don’t think I understand what your issue is with them. They used an open-source project to visualize their data, were open about doing so, and cited the creator of the project.

What more did you want from them? (Genuine question.)
Hybrids are great until it comes to long term maintenance where you are not having to manage and work on two different systems. Having personal who can work on both electrical and gas has been one of the issues with the hybrid adoption in fleet vehicles with other groups.

Not to say it isn't worth exploring, but I do know it is a common issue when discussed.
Better on some dimension will work. More accurate, faster, more fine grained, something.

To mitigate this case you could limit capacity in terms of concurrency instead of request rate. Basically it would be like a fairly-acquired semaphore.
I remember my last time walking into a Sears. I figured I'd give it a shot to see if they had anything different than HD/Lowes in the category I was looking at (shop vac attachments). A clerk pointed me to a computer saying "If we don't have it in the store you can order it from our catalog". The computer catalog was literally just searching Amazon listings. That basically confirmed to me that Sears was in a death spiral.
> What makes natural language great is the ability for humans to create a shared model of understanding that aims to eliminate ambiguity.

I'd say that natural language enables shared understanding because it *allows* ambiguity. We can construct abstractions and find analogs to put them into words. We expect the hearer to reconstruct those abstractions from a different starting point and by referring to a different set of experiences. The potential for ambiguity is a necessary part of that process. We get closer to a reliably shared construction by layering our analogs and testing our respective mental models against each other.

Formalism and DSLs definitely do a better job by giving us an initial set of shared meanings to work from. An LLM might be able to wrap a fuzzy interface around a DSL but I agree that sharing a common semantic framework without fuzzy mediation might be a much better idea.

This is the big advantage of hledger. It has two ways of translating csv into journal form - one simple and one more complicated, but very flexible.

I find it best to have a separate journal for each downloaded account. I just include them into a master journal (along with a manual entry journal) and generate reports from that.

I also use git so I can roll back the latest import, if something goes wrong - but that hasn’t happened yet.
No knowing the public key reduces the number of keys you have to attempt to find the corresponding private key. If it required the same number of attempts they would have just found it first without having to wait for the broadcast to snipe it.

At least from my perspective in the US South, this is non-existent. Hot water is heated with resistive heating elements and stored in an (under-) insulated cylinder until needed, accounting for as much as 30% of monthly household energy use.

On-demand systems (gas and electric) are available, but I've not personally been in a house where they were used for other than quality of life (i.e., providing hot water sooner than and until the water can get from the hot water heater).
A dance is a kind of negotiation. The "decision about how things will be" is what move should be performed next. Success is achieved by both parties, or neither - never just one or the other - and may even entail a "surrender" on the part of one of them.

The entire point is that metaphors can emphasize different aspects. This metaphor emphasizes ideas like:

-disagreements are not zero sum

-coming to a consensus is more important than getting your way

-we are ultimately all on the same side

-be graceful - carefully choose your moment to assert yourself

> When you had kids (or I guess anyone who is considering having kids), did you ever fear of "passing down" your trauma?

No kids yet because of exactly what' you've said. I was not going to have kids until I could give them a better life, even if that means I never have them. We're actually trying now because I'm comfortable with my life and skills now.
Huh, it's almost as if using a pickup truck to go for groceries isn't the best idea. How about that.
I have a pretty modest ACE score of 2, the stories here are something else.

I am curious is having both parents with mental health challenges the common scenario? My father was depressive alcoholic who never worked in my lifetime, and as an adult I think that was more impactful than I realized as a child. My mom just had a pretty severe eating disorder but was functional adult.

I turned out fine, maybe higher anxiety than most and way way too risk adverse in every facet of life, but have a happy family and steady work and such.

My sister though has had a lifetime of depression and eating disorders, and even though has advanced degrees is living on disability since her 30s. I wonder if she had a higher ACE score, perhaps with non family members or something.

Both of us were “gifted” and valedictorian of our small school, so up to college had very similar paths.
Agreed that it’s definitely not everybody. But it feels like the “sour grapes” cohort is the fastest growing one, and increasingly is tilting all discussions that direction.

HN feels like a bunch of people bitter about AI, bitter about social media, bitter about the Saas model, bitter about Crypto, bitter about ads, bitter about privacy, bitter about capitalism, bitter about Elon Musk, bitter about every damn thing imaginable. Like a bunch of grumpy old men, we don’t like new things here, the 90s were the peak of the internet and computing apparently.

The archetype HN holds in highest regard would be an anonymous European socialist lone Mother Theresa/Jack Reacher hacker living off the grid (privacy reasons, of course) and grinding away at open source dev utilities out of the goodness of their heart. Anything outside of that? Profit maximizing drivel intended to trick the dumb masses!

This is getting scarily close to “most people who get cancer only have themselves to blame” which can be a comforting thought if you’re putting in a lot of effort to reduce your own risk of cancer but at the end of the day it’s not true and kind of a shitty thing to say when we’re commemorating someone who fell victim to this horrible disease.

Reduce the odds it’ll get you too as much as you want, you’re wise to do so, but keep in mind it can still get you too and it is never somebody’s own fault.

More importantly, you can (almost) never say that if a cancer patient had done this and that or not done such and so they wouldn’t have gotten sick. You just can’t know and even if you did it’d still be a shit thing to say.

TBF there are orgs at companies whose sole role is to play DEFENSE - lawyers, CSO etc… if they deem something too risky it IS their job to block it, and then it’s up to upper management to override them if the situation calls for it.

Now that said they should still try to advance the mission within that framework, and not be lazy.
True. There is a significant asymmetry, though, in that you are more likely to be in a situation where you know the starting address of an object and a minimum size than you are to be in a situation where you know the end address of an object and a minimum size. Strictly speaking that's also an arbitrary convention (as I guess the address of a struct could be defined as the address of its last byte), but it's a near-universal one.
