I'm quite happy with this. I don't need my stuff correlated. When friends and family die I miss them, but I don't go around snooping through the things they may have left behind, that feels disrespectful. If they wanted me to know about their WoW accomplishments, they would have told me about them.

Gmx.com addresses (assuming no use of VPN or Tor exit node) excluded people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the time. You would always have been redirected to the country TLD options. GMX.com was a new spin off around 2009. There’s an interesting archived page here that discussed exactly this:

Gmx is popular in Germany but I think it was always a bit niche outside Germany speaking countries it was relatively unheard of at the time.

Notably, you might of heard of GMX when visiting Germany for the CCC convention. Both Len Sassaman and Dan Kaminsky presented at CCC in the same year (2007) at 24C3 for example. Dan presented for several years in a row and fiercely opposed Craig Wright’s claims to be Satoshi.

Kaminsky, Finney and Sassaman all died rather young.

I don’t follow this too closely, but having been in Europe for a few weeks, the food tastes noticeably better and is often cheaper than the US.

One of the things you notice is shorter ingredient lists on prepared food. The ingredients in Italy for McDonald’s French fries are: potato, salt, oil. In the US there’s 7-8 including hydrogenated soybean oil and flavor/color agents. Oreos were similarly different, and arguably better tasting.

I believe they regulate flavors and coloring additives differently, and many people feel both of these type of items can be problematic.

Yep, the authors do a relatively straightforward LCA and estimate essentially equally carbon footprint between concrete and “corncrete.”

Point still stands - it’s a major goal of building technology to mitigate the embodied carbon of buildings due to concrete.
You are correct that, on Tcl level, everything _is_ (behaves like) a string.

But there have been too many discussions about how horrible this is for performance, that it is always worth mentioning the fact that internally this simplistic view is not true.
Doing the image processing in software would use too much energy. The IPU6 is a PCI device that does complete image processing, handing fully baked frames to the system. If you wanted to do what the IPU does but on the CPU, you'd need to use the vector units and they use a lot of power.

NL may be better than what's in the US but it's quickly deteriorating after the 2006 reforms. We've got dozens of competing health insurance companies big and small, but their base coverage package is the same because that's legally required. So the main thing they differentiate is with nonsense; minor differences between competitors, but mainly marketing, bullshit apps, etc. That is, a nontrivial portion of health insurance payments is spent on marketing.

Then there's the other big problem. Base insurance, which btw goes up to €150 / month next year (per adult), only covers cheap generics whose purchase prices are negotiated by the government (or something like that). The consequence now is that the manufacturers are not willing to pay the import fees for their generics, because the profit margins are too slim. Thousands of types of medications are now no longer available, difficult to get, or will only be available again in X months. This is stuff like basic painkillers, adhd, diabetes, etc.

The system is failing, is all I'm saying.

You're right about that. It's far from an ideal solution. I'd much rather if that pressure came from regulation that would consistently deliver severe consequences for any company that decides to cut costs/increase profits by neglecting their responsibility to protect our data and the systems and services we pay for and depend on. That way, all systems would be reasonably protected. We wouldn't have to worry as much about pranking teenagers causing disruptions and posting penis pictures, and it would still make it harder for the adult hackers to gain access and do much worse.

Of the of the issues with diet soda in particular is your tastes favor sweets. I used to drink 4-8 cans of Diet Dr Pepper daily. When I stopped, after a couple of weeks I found my taste preferences to be very different. I’d favor savory more attractive and sweet stuff would seem too sweet.

crazy idea, but perhaps you should find some way to let your parents see who you are while you're alive?
The authors do mention approximately equivalent carbon footprints in their LCA, but they don’t really explain how they account for the energy involved in heating the corncrete. If they are assuming a clean grid or renewable source already, then there’s not much potential for reducing that carbon footprint. But if they are assuming a typical or dirty grid, then that’s one area where the footprint can come down a significant amount. I was only skimming but I didn’t see a mention of what assumption they used there.
At that funeral where he held that speech, a group of Mats' online friends were present, having arrived earlier and met the father. The leader of Mats' group in WoW also talked at the funeral. What Robert (the father) actually said was that when Mats died they had that feeling and that worry. But shortly after that the emails started coming (after Robert had written about what had happened, on Mats' blog, he did so because he actually thought there were people out there who cared.

I recommend watching the documentary, which contains private video recordings of that eulogy.

At the moment, the cost of flood insurance in the US is too cheap. That is, the price doesn't reflect the risk. It is a ticking time bomb.

On the other hand, if you are a home owner in a flood zone, the best "investment" you can make is buy flood insurance and hope for a flood.

Of note, flood insurance is nationalized, so probably will be backed by your tax dollars

That's exactly what his father said. They had thought it was just playing a game (he used the word 'competition' when he spoke about it).

EditAdd: And it's not strange. First, Mats had his own apartment, it wasn't like he was playing where his parents were walking past all the time. And secondly, every time he logged on to WoW he would spend the first 30 minutes running. So if anyone watched him when he started playing the would simply see a figure on a monitor running on a road, and keep running, and that was all.

What else would you characterize “ weird artificial junk” as?
Portland cement is not easily replaceable in its main use (building construction) because concrete made with organic substances as sand grain binders, be it cornstarch or epoxy-polymer, isn't fire resistant.

The compressive strength of cornstarch concrete maxes out at 26 MPa according to the paper, while different Portland cement formulations range from 20-50 MPa, and epoxy-polymer can go up to > 100 MPa, though brittleness is a problem.

The optimal strategy for cleaning up Portland cement production is probably (1) renewable-based electrification of the kilns used to make CaO from CaCO3 (limestone), and (2) capture and stabilization of the CO2 from the kilns in a form like carbon fiber or diamond. Still a bit sci-fi but technologically feasible (but not economical at present).

Ask HN: Strategies against AI voice and video scams?
With the advancements in generative AI, especially for voice and video, I've been wondering for a while how to effectively protect against scams. For now I feel like I can personally still tell that a video or audio is generated/fake, but I'm getting increasingly worried that as these things develop it will become impossible to identify fakes.

What I'm currently thinking is to establish a code word in my family to at least protect against the scenario where a caller claims to be me (it's so easy to train a voice on recordings nowadays). I was wondering if the HN Community can think of other ways to protect against this threat?

Looking at the recent realtime voice release of Open AI and combining it with Diffusion Models, the opportunities for scammers are becoming endless and I'm deeply worried that there are no real protections at this point.

We have huge numbers of people 'rocking the boat' trying to create say.... a Gamma Squeeze.

The only reason everyone trusts a Gamma Squeeze can happen is because they trust the math in Black Scholes. The may not even understand the math, just trust that the YouTuber who told them about Gamma Squeezes had enough of an understanding

Today's problem IMO, is now a bunch of malicious players who are willing to waste their money are trying to make 'interesting' things happen in the market, almost out of shear boredom. Rather than necessarily trying to find the right prices of various things.

Knowing that other groups follow say, Black Scholes, is taken as an opportunity to mess with market makers.
I actually have some friends working on construction materials for moon bases! ie turning regolith into bricks, using drones/robots to assemble the structures etc. pretty cool stuff. There’s a fair bit of research going on into this problem.

I think the main challenge with your idea is that you have to get the corn starch to the moon… you really want your solution to be focused on ISRU (in-situ research utilization) as much as possible.
Also, it’s usually pretty obvious when fermenting goes bad. My take is fermentation takes a while which really allows the biological process to become really positive or really rancid.
Growing up in the EU in the 00s there was always the public health concerns of E numbers causing this or that.

Ironic in a way, because E numbers mean that the specific chemical has been cleared as a foodstuff in the EU, IIRC.

Though I suppose it’s more concerning if an approved substance has some unforeseen effect versus an unapproved one and you’d want to investigate further.

I guess it shows how government regulation of naturally occurring substances (though perhaps synthesized, or refined) carries with it a new set of incentives, and reasons to be political. Not that I’m against regulation, but it’s hard if not impossible to have a truly politically neutral approach.
