... Take it from someone with celiac. You don't always feel it. I didn't for decades.

But it caught up with me. Really badly. And when I say badly, it nearly killed me. I got hypocalcima, and fuck me if it wasn't the most painful thing I ever endured. I've broken bones, etc. All that shit is child's play to every muscle in your body locking up and your body feeling like it is getting stabbed with needles all over. Thankfully once they give you calcium, it goes down. But... I was probably an hour or two away from dead, from asphyxiation.

I played with fire again, and caught it quicker the next time. But I had no concrete diagnosis. Now, I do.

Oh, as a bonus, I got the bones of an 85 year old woman with osteopenia.

Don't fuck with this shit internet stranger. Please.
Datacenter CEO alleged to have faked Tier 4 cert to snag $10.7M SEC deal: DOJ
Any guidance is appreciated.

Building something else that doesn't create potential legal liabilities is the simplest thing that might work. I mean this probably isn't the best idea you can possibly have. And probably not the coolest thing you can possibly build.

On the other hand, thinking about legal pitfalls might be your favorite hobby. Good luck.
You make an interesting point. Maybe facilitating the usage of sideloaded books is not among Amazon’s priorities. Yet I don’t know how much of that comes from malice rather than simply negligence or lack of interest.
I was under the impression that because the components are packed so tight it is difficult to scan anything beneath the laptop. Happy to be corrected.
Non-default as in browsers should not provide any attestation information unless configured to via a setting in about:config (which can be automatically enabled by IT on a managed device), and mobile OSes should not provide attestation info to apps unless configured via some similarly buried setting that MDM can enable.

Basically put it there for nerds and IT where the device owner wants that extra security and coordinates with (or is) the service provider to set it up. For everyday use, it should be unavailable so that it's not used for lockin.
My Paperwhite 4 is 6.6” x 4.6” x 0.3”. This new one is 5” x 7” x 0.3”. Unless the bezel is significantly smaller (and from the pictures it doesn't), I'll wait for the next version. I read in landscape because in portrait mode the rapid scanning back and forth is annoying.
Ask HN: Data professional explain how Tableau is not just awful, terrible, bad
I got into tableau in 2015 when data visualization was taking off, eventually I realized my (internal team) customers just wanted tabular data, maybe sort/filter but def did not use stories, etc. Now I'm at a company that is 100% tableau and analysts are using it as a pinterest for business logic. There still seems to be no version control 9 years later? I dunno, please help.

preservationism allows you to bypass "legal nonsense"? That's some entitlement you have. So basically, laws don't matter to you. People's life work don't matter? It's ok for you to take what somebody created in the name of preservation. I bet you wouldn't be saying this if you created and released something that you rely on as your income.
Fully makes sense plus I appreciate the source right there in the title so you can use that as well to decide how trustworthy it might be. Well done
A two-state solution is a fever dream if the occupier is uninterested in it. We’ve seen that repeatedly for the past 75+ years in actions and literal words.

So the question is, if you were the subjugated population, what would you do?
One of the reasons I still frequent this forum is to countertrade the espoused opinions. Meta@100 was such an easy buy, Everyone was talking as if they were going out of business because they did not like the idea of the metaverse. A quick look at their earnings said that was utter nonsesnse. So bizarre to see all jounalists and many users here to attribute the turn around to them pivoting to AI when that was not at all what the CEO was saying during that time. Always look for primary sources, opinions are funny.
Congrats on launching your 1.0!

As someone else that is doing something with a remarkably similar sales pitch for the same sorts of reasons, it's interesting to see a very different approach to the one that I've taken.

Are there any particular use cases that you've encountered that wouldn't be a particularly good fit for Citizen? (i.e. do you have an anti-pitch?)

It would be interesting to know what considerations you've made for a few other points I might expect from an app server:

- What's the story around scaling the number of instances of a Citizen app beyond 1? There are a few things like sessions or cache that are stored in globals

- Similarly, how configurable are things like (e.g.) session storage? If, for example, I wanted to use cookies or store sessions in my database

- Is there any prescriptive way that you're supposed to interact with external data? By this I mean, you've got some file structure for storing models, but it's unclear what the expected usage is

I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves!

Cool AI Coding Demos
What makes for a cooler demo?

* Build a tic-tac-toe game without writing a single line of code using an AI coding tool?

Snapdragon X still has a full 12 cores (all same cores, it's homogeneous) and the Strix Point is also 12 cores but in a 4+8 configuration but with the "little" cores not sacrificing that much (nothing like the little cores in ARM's designs which might as well not even exist, they are a complete waste of silicon). Consumer software doesn't scale to that, so what are you going to do with more transistors allocated to the CPU?

It's not unlike why Apple puts so many video engines in their SoCs - they don't actually have much else to do with the transistor budget they can afford. Making single thread performance better isn't limited by transistor count anymore and software is bad at multithreading.
Heretical Thoughts on AI (2023)
I expect adults to govern their own self-care, but I can't expects adults to do their own journalism.

We will encounter, as our awareness of the world expands, turbulent and traumatizing information. This isn't something to be criticized--it's unavoidable up to and including our own mortality. The responsible adult does not bury their head in the sand but, instead, interrogates the foundations of their own security.

Smell a flower. Take a bubble bath. Listen to some jazz. Hug your loved ones.

But don't cork the fountain of truth.
I use a combination of a Kindle Paperwhite Signature for novels and mainstream books. THen I use a Remarkable Tablet for PDFs, research papers, my own notes, etc.

I find it to be a good combination. Like you said, the paperwhite is amazing for laying in bed at night (really like the backlight) or on the couch or traveling to read. But it is too small for PDFs or serious notetaking. The Remarkable is perfect for those things. The remarkable also gives you full control over your files to do whatever you want. You can connect it to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc and/or just manage files directly on device (plug it in via usb-c and it shows up as a USB mass storage device).

The two tools compliment themselves nicely. Just my 2 cents.

Not bad now? Yeah, right. They're still barely complying with the law.

Huh? In what world is a hyperloop going maybe 700mph comparable to a spacecraft reentering from orbit at 17,000mph? Also, maybe there's something I'm missing but spacecraft can and do renter from orbit intact, thus proving that this problem is solvable even when the forces at play are orders of magnitude greater. Apply your safety argument to passenger airliners or even ordinary trains and you'll see that they are also "impossible to make safety guarantees" for.
> Given you've used it, just how self-service is it? To me this seems like such a large claim that - if it's doable - I'm surprised there are not more competitors in the "vertically integrated data providers" space.

It is both very self service and not very self service. That's why they employ the FDE model from the article, to actually ingrain it into the client company to the point that it becomes self service.

It's extremely hard to build such a product from scratch and have it actually be good, that's why there's no competitors. Especially providing the finely grained security controls that the article talks about, and have the platform be secure. There's a reason their security team wins the biggest CTFs half the time.
Open your eyes, you do know you are being fed insane propaganda about China, right?

This is great! IMO there's always room for more platforms to expose visibility for product launches.

Do you mind sharing a bit about the amount of daily traffic you get? Or plans for growing the platform? It would help people understand if/when it's worth paying to get listed. Thanks!
If I have to book a call with an expert just to test…it’s a total waste of my time for both personal and enterprise. MQTT lives…old-ish, faithful and reliable. It’s easy to setup - personal and enterprise. It’s scalable. I can pub and sub…that’s all we’re asking of it.
In this case it's just a fancy way of saying "random". What's important about a GCM nonce is that it never repeat, not that it's unpredictable (to me, a distinction between a "nonce" and an "IV"; a CBC IV must be unpredictable).

Because you only get 96 bits of nonce space with vanilla GCM, there's common advice to use a counter as the nonce.
Imagine the reaction to Palestinians blowing up a residential Israeli apartment building with hundreds of civilians inside and justifying it by saying they wanted to kill an IDF member inside.
Interesting thread. I wonder if this has anything to do with what I experienced with the one (two, actually) I set up for my mom years back. The books were visible on the filesystem but nowhere to be found when using the device.

Fortunately, getting two units in a row with jarring pink blotches was enough of a non-starter to suggest that she just revert to a V4 without my having to explain the confusing behavior.
It might also fold!

Oof, this is obvious in retrospect, and I regret it. Unfortunately, there are some very useful rhetorical angles which do not translate to text, and pity is one of them.
Why do that, though?

Kind of like APs, except that you typically study only 3, sometimes 4 subjects for the final two years of high school and then take final exams.

So for my final two years of high school, I only studies math, physics and bio.

In the same way that an AP can sometimes give you a semester's credit at a university, an A-Level can sometimes give you a full year's credit. (Only in US universities, though. In the UK you're expected to have done them, so you don't get extra credit. Though, for the same reason, a bachelors degree in the UK is typically only three years, not four.)
Amusingly, the LLVM implementation was also written by an intern at one point :)

Semi-NCA was actually published back then, just not in the cited paper.

See "Finding dominators in practice", published in 2004, section 2.3.
So two decades ago.

The main advantage of Semi-NCA (and why LLVM uses it) is that it makes for a good incremental update algorithm.
See https://reviews.llvm.org/D34258

Truthfully, as much as I love Cooper and friends (they were responsible for a lot of very thoughtful, well engineered algorithms at a time when lots of stuff was just "here's some research i think is better"), the "simple" dataflow based algorithm was never worth it.

Part of the thing i was good at way back then was keeping track of all of the research in compiler opts and which was any good - most of their stuff is very good.

I used to go through every paper that came around and keep an up to date library of ones worth looking at (both now and in the future) that a bunch of folks used. This was harder back in the days of nobody really publishing code, i used to have to write a ton of prototype implementations to see which numbers were real and which were BS because they compared against crappy implementations or whatever.

SEMI-NCA was an obvious win - it was simple enough to implement and test, equally as fast as what existed now, and could easily be extended to incremental updates.

If you want to see what it takes to do incremental updates with LT, take a look at GCC's dominator update code back around that time period (I think it's unchanged since then, actually, but i haven't looked in a few years). There were a fairly small number of people who could understand the data structures and algorithms involved.
Yes, it isn't python, it is... hardware. Not even CUDA specific. It is about memory moving around and optimization (remember, even the CPUs do speculative execution). I say a little more in the larger comment.

I'm less concerned about the CPU baseline and more concerned about the NPU timing. Especially given the other issues

Pretty cool stuff. If I were building this, I'd add some tagging system so users could filter what they want to see. Politics, business, sports, entertainment, etc.

Right now it seems heavily weighted towards world politics with a sprinkle of Victoria's Secret

Specifically I'd make it like little tags that you can click on to filter for or click on an x to filter out, something like that (think like how you can "solo" or "mute" any given track on a DAW)
It was published prior to that in a paper named "Finding dominators in practice", published in ESA 2004[1].

For once, the title is not actually an oversell, it actually covers that topic quite well for a conference paper.

Banning by TPM also makes ban evasion pretty expensive. At which point the cheater has to either buy a new mobo or solder a new TPM chip onto their mobo (not always possible). Though I guess at some point a sloppy vendor will leak TPM keys and it'll be spoof-able.

I switched from an older Paperwhite to the latest version (before this announcement) IMHO the 6.8 inch size is too big and now they go up to 7 inches? My wife has the regular kindle (because it got USB C before the Paperwhite and she lost hers just in time) and that size is imho perfect. The screen is noticeably worse though.

>to make it a bit more clear, the gravitational lens does not quite behave like a normal lens. Instead, you see the light from _behind_ the object.

Or to put it another way: A gravity lens bends space so that the light from behind an object curves around it while travelling straight.
Come to think of it, a foldable Kindle would be very nice! And not just because it has the format of a book.

The portability of a Paperwhite combined with the note-taking ability of a Scribe… there’s probably a market for that.

Edit: also, holding the device semi-opened, hands on its back, seems much more comfortable than holding it by the bezels as we currently do.

They probably don't consider themselves (and, as a University, could probably make a strong case) that it's not Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), which is the only thing that CAN-SPAM applies to.

And I have to disagree with the OP, though, because the only people who obey CAN-SPAM are the people who are generally not actually real spammers.

CAN-SPAM really only helps you get unsubscribed from marketing emails, not actually spam at all. As with all laws, outlaws will ignore them while law-abiding citizens get caught by them. Real spammers don't care and casually flout laws until, finally, they get caught by technological means.

As usual, the regulations are too little, too late, and apply to a completely different group of people than is even named in the title.

Hydroelectric dams have a storied history of pissing people off, through death and displacement, at the very least.

My ancestors (along with natives) were run off from their valley home in PA when a dam was built. Out here in the Sonoran Desert, we've got a lake where the river should be, and the indigeneous (among others) are still pissed about the dam that was pretty much politically forced on all of us.

Conversely, there are groups who absolutely rejoice when a dam is decommissioned and demolished. It's party time when that land is reclaimed, and the water flows again naturally.

I second giving landscape mode a try. There is something more comfortable about it and you get more space to hold onto each side of the screen.

Of note, the screen seems slower to update when waking up or going to the home screen and keyboard touch points seem slightly off and I'm not sure why that is.
I worked in the energy+mineral intelligence domain developing work that was subscribed to by investors and later sold to S&P (of the index).

The "is it factual" rule here is simpler than you may think* - in your example, can it be verified by multiple credible sources that

* Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said "as quoted", and that

* A senior Ukrainian intelligence official said "as quoted"

If so then it's fine to report that .. it's factual that they made the statements, whether what they said is also true is a seperate matter that may or may not be addressed in another reported snippet.

In the aggragator case here they're not even making the claim that "Volodymyr Zelenskyy said {X}" .. instead they are asserting as fact that "Politico reported that {Y}" .. which can be verified by a secure link to the Politico source.

* Until recently ...

Today, of course, there's highly credible in appearence generated video of public figures saying things they never said - this is the current challenge.

The means to address that is to chain reported news to sources and develop better tools to probe that chain for BS. A work in progress.
I adamantly disagree. There are 10,000 devices in this world that will feed you your email if you really need to see it in the second it comes in. You probably have one in your pocket right now and another on your wrist and a third that you are staring at to read this post.

I use a Remarkable tablet (the Scribe's competitor) for the exact reason that it doesn't come with apps for email or web browsing or an app store or a weather app. It writes really really well (the scribe does too) and lets you focus on that. It doesn't try to be the 4th version of a smart device when you already have so many.

The simplicity of it is a feature not a bug.
Eye tracking doesn’t require that many cameras, one or two will do. Just look at the Vision Pro, that’s its primary input mechanism.
I appreciate the technical achievements here. However, I wonder how long before it’s standard practice to track all peoples movement, not just those suspected of a crime. I know of at least one YouTube channel that is always recording all traffic camera streams in Washington so there must be some State entities doing the same. Back in 2020 there was a twitch channel that would play a 9x9 grid of all the livestream footage from the George Floyd protests. I’m sure an archive of that exists somewhere on a LE server.
