Bridges between separate blockchains have, at least briefly, custody of the asset. Most bridges work by transferring the asset to the bridge, with instructions to transfer it onward to some other wallet. Which is why bridges can steal the asset while in transit. This happens. A lot, to the tune of about US$3 billion so far.

The paper gets rather hand-wavey when discussing inter-blockchain bridges and trust. But they don't have a solution. They wrote:

"Having already implicitly addressed generalizability (the ability to process arbitrary data) and extensibility (the support of and effort required to expand an interoperability system with new chains), trustlessness undeniably represents the most important dimension, practically speaking, given the number of hacks and amount of damage already suffered by the space.g,4,10 Trustlessness—a measure for the additional trust required from users of an interoperability system beyond that in the underlying source and destination chains—is closely related to the solution’s verification mechanism, potential further trust, and liveness assumptions; and together with these, it constitutes protocol-sided security. However, given the difficulty of reliably assessing highly complex systems with unique architectures, constantly changing maturity, and under permanent threat from a variety of risks and attack vectors, a new approach to trust in interoperability is to look at it as a spectrum."

"Look at it as a spectrum" means "we don't know how to fix this."

There are lots of schemes to fix this.[1] They're really complicated (hence vulnerable), slow, or not really trustless.
It's a hard problem. Throwing buzzwords at it does not help.

Grain piles have free drainage so we don't expect saturation, but if water freely drains through this system it seems problematic.
I live in a wealthy area in the US, we have many food banks and social support services, and still there are huge numbers of kids suffering from food scarcity. It always comes back to the parents. Even delivering food requires said parents to give a shit, which they don’t —- whether out of pride or sociopathic disdain.

My state is one a handful that provides free lunches and morning snacks to all kids, regardless of parent incomes. It’s essential for these children.

You are still conflating your experience volunteering with full knowledge of the problem.
> with fast networks, huge disks, fast processors --- it seems wasteful to me to even consider shared libraries.

The problem is that you will always have to rebuild all packages that link against a certain library when a security update is released so that if the user installs a security update, they will have to download several gigabytes instead of just a few megabytes.
No need, just a notice to others that would maybe prefer not to support such 'hosting' services. It was not trademark/copyright related I can say.

$200k is quite achievable both remote, IF you have experience. If you are brand new to the industry things have shifted and new grads are having a very tough time.

Double or triple that was easily achievable remote from 2020 to 2023, but now likely requires going in-office in NYC, SF, or Seattle.

The work life balance is not significantly different at different pay levels once you get to true tech companies (leaving aside companies where the tech doesn’t bring in the money)
A very narrow minded view. There are plenty of undemocratic and authoritarian countries around the world, Iran is hardly unique and perhaps not even the worst. And so-called democratic countries are sometimes not much better - a trip through US foreign policy over the years is pretty horrific, the violent oppression of the Palestinians by Israel, and others. None of this should have anything to do with whether a country’s citizens and academics should have access to scientific knowledge and conduct research. In fact scientific knowledge and a better educated population is one of the best ways to combat authoritarianism and oppression.

The OG strain was much less transmissible than D614G or Delta/Omicron. Most transmission chains died out and R0 was < 1. That was offset by superspreaders (or superspreading events) where one person could infect dozens of people. Typically, this happened with prolonged (1+ hour) contact with someone that was projecting their voice (restaurants, choir practice). There were documented cases of much more casual contact producing transmission, but this wasn't common. Later variants were more inherently transmissible, but it has never reached the level that you suggest.

And all that is needed for a pandemic like SARS-CoV-2 is for an R0 of around 2-3, so one person infecting 2-3 others, on average. If we really have a cluster of 6 health care workers, that is enough to get extremely alarmed.
It is true, Not only in europe, it happen in the US and in Asia too. It is a "non issue" in the sense that it won't trigger a catastrophic seism, as long as houses are mostly well built, the risks are minimal.
Yep, and I keep harping on that one simple point. If that data is collected at all, it will be used. Even with laws protecting it. Look how HiPAA has become something of a joke now between regular breaches and app everything, which skirt as much as they can.
It takes about 5 minutes to transmit a signature, as I understand? The receiver then can try to find the combination of navigation packets that gives the right signature, and recover its position this way.

So yeah, this should solve the spoofing issues for most cases. Low-orbit sats would be able to transmit a signature every millisecond or so, but that's not really necessary.
it is only ruining if you decide to see the dead posts and still dislike that spam is being killed.

since this is a 'walled site, you can just have a read of the official release notes and then the related PEPs ...

https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html

New typing features:

* PEP 696: Type parameters (typing.TypeVar, typing.ParamSpec, and typing.TypeVarTuple) now support defaults.

* PEP 702: The new warnings.deprecated() decorator adds support
for marking deprecations in the type system and at runtime.

* PEP 705: typing.ReadOnly can be used to mark an item of a typing.TypedDict as read-only for type checkers.

* PEP 742: typing.TypeIs provides more intuitive type narrowing behavior, as an alternative to typing.TypeGuard.

Personally the ability for the type checker to note calls to deprecated functions in a signature-dependent way looks useful. I'm sure the others will be useful too.

Government officials can cite whatever they want, including stuff they pulled out of their ass, as long as they have the votes.
Like i wrote, the question was probably ill formed, but it is a question, not an opinion nonetheless.

I am a bit touched that it seemed like i did not read or understand the article, in fact i read the article in its entirety, as one of the first to comment, even to my surprise for such a compelling story. I understood he was getting support and feeling strengthened by his learning on the internet. I feel my questions seem to be taken as rhetorical. I feel it is still unanswered, even no hints towards how or why, only that 'i should not ask such questions'. I guess American culture is very different from European (can it even be seen as having a culture as a whole, there is so much diversity)... and hence my question not being appreciated?

High-quality studies also lay out a methodology for evaluating, assessing, and ultimately characterizing the issue, so that the impact of policy changes can be properly assessed. Even showing that well-known investigatory methods function adequately for a given problem is of value.

Put another way, "you can't control what you can't measure" (or in this case, characterize more generally).
Oh this is a good find. Thank you for sharing that link!
The code is the mean, not the end. And you take care in it, because other people will work with it to handle changing requirements. One aspect of seniority is to know the tools to solve a problem, the other is to make the solution practical to maintain and adaptive. And this takes as much time as solving the problem.
Election year. The assumption is it is simultaneously posturing for current administration, validating its existence and funding to potential new one, and PR for the public.

Before that? I don't remember that much from the past few years, but I think a good chunk of federal agencies were kinda in a weird stalemate ( which is kinda what the US is system is built for anyway ).
I'm an ML researcher and I seriously do not understand how people are avoiding the stupid loops. Like where I tell the LLM all the conditions, what works and what doesn't work, and then it tells me to do the thing that I just said doesn't work (while at the beginning of the response it even acknowledges this!). So then I say "x doesn't work, here's the output" and then it says "sorry for the confusion, you're right. Instead let's <insert bunch of useless words> then do x" where x is the same thing...

I can't be the only one, right? I feel like I'm being gaslit lol

Count me among those who don't believe in intellectual property. There are so many of us. Every time I express this, I find that I'm not alone.

Intellectual property is a government-granted monopoly on information, on bits, on numbers. And everybody intuitively understands the absurdity of it. Infringement happens every day at massive scales, people do not even realize they are infringing, it is natural to them.
hah, I was actually aware of this, ironically because I side-projected an encoding/decoding that "visibled" normally unprintable ASCII characters into printable UTF-8

https://github.com/pmarreck/elixir-snippets/blob/master/prin...

Maybe we should bring field and record separators back and call it "ascii-separated values" (ASV) lol (because, you know... "as originally envisioned by the makers of ASCII")

The only caveat is the lack of visible printability of those (hence that project up there). It would be neat if (by default) the field separator ASCII character looked similar to a tab (maybe with some distinguishing detail such as a dotted underline) and the record separator ASCII character looked similar to a newline (again, with some extra visible difference, but also including the visible linefeed)

There's probably a font feature that lets you do this

The final issue with it is how in the world would we type those characters?
Are there any numbers on how the availability of books in this way negatively impacts sales? Bear in mind that often people resort to such libraries because they are unable to buy a copy (out of print, not available in their country), can’t afford to buy (so they wouldn’t be paying anyway) or just want to look something up (wouldn’t bother buying the book just for that).

Not sure why you are talking about lizards and jews. At least you're not telling anything of substance I could even take as an argument.

You may tell me how it was Russia's fault the US/EU instigated the coup d'état in Ukraine for a change.
Obviously it depends on the exact test you are running, but a factor that is frequently ignored in A/B testing is that often one arm of the experiment is the existing state vs. another arm that is some novel state, and such novelty can itself have an effect. E.g. it doesn't really matter if this widget is blue or green, but changing it from one color to the other temporarily increases user attention to it, until they are again used to the new color. Users don't actually prefer your new flow for X over the old one, but because it is new they are trying it out, etc.
You got off lucky. Imagine if one of those government Mecca's of sanctioned piracy called a library had bought your book and put it on public exhibition for free? The estimated losses to the publishing industry are in the billions of dollars in the last decade alone. They are freely given physical copies of your copyrighted work with the mere promise that they will be returned. Many are stolen, and when they are the thief is rarely charged, and the copyrighted material is simply replaced so that it may be made public again. Meanwhile you get a payment equivalent to maybe a fast food meal.
There is always a tipping point for quite a few use cases where incremental evaluation degrades perf compared with full batch / historical query ?
> but don't recall anything about software or peripherals despite having a Coco 2

They did sell 3rd party software for the Coco (at minimum). The distributor I sold games through had a Tandy contact and sent one of my games to see if they wanted to sell it in stores like some other ones they were selling.

They did not, which was a bummer. One funny thing, the opening screen, prior to title and credits etc. was a matrix like display with the screen full of random characters (numbers and letters, not 1's and 0's) shifting characters and colors, etc., the Tandy guy said he thought the game was broken at first.
> health and identity related 'features'

But it's easy enough to just opt out of all that. I don't use fitness or health wearables. I don't have my DNA or ancestry analyzed. I don't use online/telehealth services. Hell I don't even visit the doctor very often. I don't trust healthcare at all because it's very easy for them to use "scare" marketing to get people to pay for all kinds of stuff that (a) they don't need and (b) has very little real benefit and (c) that in most cases is for conditions that common sense and a little self-discipline can avoid.

You're free to think that doctors and health organizations operate on some higher plane of morality but the truth is they are businesses and need to compete for customers just like any other business does.

It's based on Z-Sets - a generalization of relational algebra.
Many of the aggregations, projections, filters from SQL are associative and can be implemented in Z-Sets. Z-Sets supports incremental operations (adding one value to a set while computing the 'max' is just the max of the two arguments - rather than requiring recomputing the 'max' over the entire set.

None of it is accurate and almost all of it is modeled from sparse, low quality training sets. Banks are not selling PII’ed account balance data to shady aggregators.

To me, the more interesting and outrageous story is how many aggregators are able to sell garbage data so successfully.
I think what they meant was that if there are eligibility requirements and such, paperwork is required and some parents won't do it. So no questions asked solves that problem. That's how I parsed it, at least.

C structs are a terrible serialization format, since they are not a serialization format at all. Nothing guarantees that you will get consistent struct behavior on the same machine, but also, it only really solves the problem for C. For everything else, you have to duplicate the C structure exactly, including however it may vary per architecture (e.g. due to alignment.)

And OK fine. It's not that bad, most C ABIs are able to work around this reasonably OK (not all of them but sure, let's just call it a skill issue.) But then what do you do when you want anything more complicated than a completely fixed-size type? Like for example... a string. Or an array. Now we can't just use a struct, a single request will need to be split into multiple different structures at the bare minimum.

And plus, there's no real reason to limit this all to the same machine. Tunneling UNIX domain sockets over the network is perfectly reasonable behavior and most* SSH implementations these days support this. So I think scoping the interoperability to "same machine" is unnecessarily limiting, especially when it's not actually hard to write consistent de/serialization in any language.

would something like dbsp support spreadsheet style computations? Most of the financial world is stuck behind spreadsheets and the entire process of productioinizing spreadsheets is broken:

* Engineers don't have time to understand the spreadsheet logic and translate everything into an incremental version for production.

* Analysts don't understand the challenges with stream processing.

* SQL is still too awkward of a language for finance.

* Excel is a batch environment, which makes it hard to codify it as a streaming calculation.

If I understand correctly, your paper implies as long as there is a way to describe spreadsheets as a Zset, some incremental version of the program can be derived? Spreadsheets are pretty close to a relational table, but it would be a ZSet algebra on cells, not rows, similar to functional reactive programming. So dbsp on cells would be incremental UDFs, not just UDAFs?

thoughts??
But what value does an HTML form alone have? Compared to the old offline version, you have more trouble authenticating before filling it out (which isn't worth anything because you have to sign it anyway...).

ClickHouse's materialized views are wonderful, but they do require very careful design up front.

In particular, aggregations need to be defined using the special AggregateFunction data types, which must be paired with the corresponding aggregation functions such as countMerge(). Joins are possible in CH views, but they operate in a specific way (against the insert batch) that you must know about; joins against other tables are generally a bad idea for performance, and you should use dictionaries as much as possible for fast in-memory lookup. Lastly, it's also hard to update MVs because their entire source query has to be modified as a whole. Adding a column requires declaring the whole MV, which introduces the possibility of making mistakes in your migrations.

CH views are really more like triggers, and so they're a little misleadingly named. Very powerful, of course. In short, a lot more "manual" than this other system.
It is mentioned now.
I think it’s a nice idea, but given the bean-counting-efficiency-experts that run the company, this will never fly “build for the 90-95%” is what I constantly heard from bosses before I left frontend and went to backend, and eventually leaving the cloud industry all together. I can see it working for government sites though because profit isn’t the sole purpose of the website, it’s more there to serve the public as a whole.
