What about new players who are competitive in other, similar titles, and thus start off with a strong advantage?

And - what about experienced players who cheat?

In some scenes, it's actually more often that cheaters are some of the best, most experienced players who have a strong competitive lean and feel they 'deserve' to win, so use cheats to get an edge. It's far more common than you'd think.

That's the problem with any anti-cheat system. It's all the what-ifs. Every single 'clever idea' that has been theorized under the sun has been tried and most have failed.
In 2015, I somehow got subscribed to the Rensselaer School of Architecture Alumni mailing list on my personal email. I didn't go to RPI, I had never shown any interest in RPI, I don't even know anyone who went to RPI, and I had graduated from a different university about five years earlier.

I would get two or three emails a month from them, and I would click unsubscribe every time. The emails would continue. Finally, in 2018, I got the "We're sorry to see you go" unsubscribe confirmation email.

Then about three months ago, I started getting emails from the Rensselaer Office of Annual Giving. But this time it was to my work email, not my personal email. How would they get my work email address?

I have no idea how this happened, but I suspect universities play fast and loose with their mailing lists for exactly the reason you said. It's obnoxious.

> There is baseload. That's demand.

You’re incorrect in several ways here. Utilities care about the supply they need to generate not total customer demand because of inefficiency in the transmission network. People like yourself got confused when reading about existing terms and have been using them incorrectly ever since.

Anyway you’ve been spouting so much nonsense I’m only going to respond to a fraction of it.

The minimum power demand is the easiest to reach with intermittent sources via even minimal storage being by definition the lowest relevant number. It’s also the least valuable electricity to supply which is why nobody actually does this. You use energy from batteries when the price of that energy is highest. That’s a function of energy markets not inherent limitations on the technology. It’s easy to move most use at 3AM to other times of the day because most of the consumption is due to cheap prices. Charging EV’s late at night happens specifically because there’s anything particular going on at 3AM and otherwise generation would be idle.
> From where I sit, this is not a battle over open source. It’s a fight between someone worth hundreds of millions and a company worth billions. When you’re trying to figure out what’s going on in any conflict, whether it’s a family fight, a divorce, or a business fight, one of the best rules of thumb is to follow the money.

This is disingenuous. Automattic is worth $10 billion and WP Engine is worth maybe around a billion.

Automattic itself is also owned by a private investment group, the assets of which are far, far more than $102 billion https://automattic.com/press/

Apples to apples, this is not the David vs Goliath story your are looking for. This is the "owner" of an ecosystem smothering the only independent competition.
Societies change, and also plainly ours does not work that way as we don't have a high proportion of jobs requiring even 10 years' experience despite most of us spending ~47 years in the workforce.
> but also won't exploit you the way an employer can

Eh, my experience is the opposite. A lot more exploitation in grad school than in industry. It's a lot easier to change jobs than change professors/universities.

I recall multiple cases of formal/semi-formal interventions where other professors or the department had to force an advisor to let the person graduate (they wanted to keep milking them for more papers).

And then when you do graduate, forget a career in research if you can't get recommendation letters from him.

But otherwise, I agree. A ton of benefits if you go to graduate school and don't have an abusive advisor.

(I also took a year off after high school. Never understood why everyone said I was making a big mistake...).
Ocean yes, but then that opens you up to hurricanes and/or tsunamis.

If by that you mean, if you are using Linux in production servers: You may use GPL software in a commercial setting. The source code part only applies if you are distributing software that contains GPL code.
I'm not sure most people would claim their success comes down to the intellectual stuff. It's just that a certain type of nerd who is also very competent at what they do likes hanging out around other nerds of a similar type. If you read the descriptions of the actual work, at least among the FDEs, it seems striking how much it sounds like a relatively normal consulting engagement — we're not really talking developing foundational new algorithms or infrastructure here. But the kind of person who enjoys working at and does well in places like Palantir probably wouldn't enjoy Accenture. I agree it can veer pretentious, but I think it's more about clustering a certain kind of person together, similar to what you hear about e.g. places like Jane Street.

C is basically Algol with curly braces and pointers. The sentiment expressed there is probably equally applicable to C, or maybe Pascal. Those are often held up today as a minimal example in contrast to Lisp. There is a sort of sparse, warty elegance to the family. Blocks, arrays, if/then, assignment, while loops. What more could you need?

I think the point here is that so that people reading the article don't complain about "they didn't contain GPL code directly" somehow justifies thinking that that was bikeshedding and not a legitimate violation of the license.
Of course, it does not matter if the code was modified or not, but that point might not be clear to the readers who don't have enough experience with GPL.

Of course the childish comments that seem to have been posted on github were probably not great, I think people should be respectful, so maybe the additional lesson here is that github, by trying hard to become a social network and not focusing on being a code host and issue tracker, succeeded in being a social network, with the whole package, attracting this kind of shitty behavior, and that's one more reason to avoid it now. You wouldn't upload your code on a social network, would you?

I think it's uncontroversial that Likud opposes a 2-state solution, for what it's worth. I think you're going to find a lot of people taking Israel's side in the existential question of whether it should defend itself as a sovereign, and/or respond to mass-casualty attacks from paramilitary militias in territories it occupies, but far fewer people endorsing Israel's leadership. "I support Israel's right to exist but Netanyahu belongs at the Hague" is a pretty common position.

The issue is: it doesn't get you anywhere in the Israel/Hezbollah conflict. I believe Israel has awful, possibly criminal leadership. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't respond to full-scale military attacks from neighboring near-peer militaries.

I think tallying up the morals of each side of this conflict is really unproductive, but in the spirit of just digging into the details here, I feel like it's worth pointing out that the details on Hezbollah's side of the scale are grim. Not in its conflict with Israel, but with the broader region, where it has killed civilians with great gusto.
No. How do you use it if it's in a safe? The only way this works is if you use the yubikey to log into google or some other auth provider and then use that auth provider for everything. But you are even worse off then as that auth provider now is a single point of failure... get that account revoked for any reason and you've lost access everywhere.
Offtopic technical note: I've created a new post for this because the previous one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41801315) was old enough to fall out of the ranked stories on HN.

We picked it for the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) when it was already several days old, and by the time the thread got going, it basically got evicted from cache. This is a manual workaround to correct that. Sorry all!

I've moved the comments from the other thread hither, which is why most of them are hours older than the current submission is.
Ask HN: Standard NDA conditions during deeptech due diligence?
I have co-founded a deep tech startup in the biotechnology sector. After a meeting with some of their partners, a French fund has expressed interest in investing. They have appointed a domain expert and are asking us to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). We're wondering about standard terms for such agreements. What are the standard penalty fees and conditions?

My co-founder is rightfully concerned that the NDA terms we've been sent are too lenient in case of information leaks. We work in a competitive drug development space, and any information leaks to a large pharmaceutical company could cause significant harm to our business. We are far from idea stage.

The expert appointed by the fund is currently an academic, but with some clear connections to the pharmaceutical industry.

> Americans get to be the suckers propping up the decent lifestyles of the rest of the western world and much of Asia and the ME

America benefited greatly from this position though, it's just the gains have not been equally distributed, and one can make an argument that Americans simply vote for that outcome. It is very unclear to me how the situation of the middle class in the US becomes any better if the US gives up its leverage for Chinese to dictate the terms. FWIW pre-WW1 the US had even worse inequality while not propping up anyone's lifestyle abroad.
Oh yeah, no, you're definitely streaming high-definition video from the airplane. You'd better put your phone in airplane mode. The front camera is silently recording and selling your complaints about the airplane food to a competing airline in full HD. Some say they can tell from your pores. Airlines specifically upgraded in-flight wifi to 100 Gbps upload so that we could get seamless data brokering on-demand. A data broker I know sometimes hits a button to get instant live-streaming access to the inside of the seatback pocket. He really likes it.

WeChat using a custom protocol like MMTLS instead of sticking with something solid like TLS 1.3 is a risky move. Rolling your own crypto almost always leads to trouble.

Hmm, I don't really have a "go-to" programming language. Depending on the problem, context, constraints, and team preference, I use whatever.

For personal projects, my preference for the past few years invariably has been Lisp dialects. I prefer Clojure-like lightweight PLs - Fennel if I need to deal with a Lua-compatible runtime, Clojurescript for JS-engines. For bash scripting - Babashka. If I need to be close to metal, Common Lisp is great, but it's been a while since I had the need. I've been trying to fix this asynchronous pipeline in nbb that uses Redis and BullMQ, among some other things (for some of them, I'm thinking I may have to brush up on my Python - hopefully, I wouldn't have to), but it's taking longer than desired, been procrastinating with it a lot.

Why do you ask? You can't decide what to pick to start with or something?
It's not a FPGA. It's an NPU IP block from the Xilinx side of the company. It was presumably originally developed to be run on a Xilinx FPGA, but that doesn't mean AMD did the stupid thing and actually fabbed a FPGA fabric instead of properly synthesizing the design for their laptop ASIC. Xilinx involvement does not automatically mean it's an FPGA.

> I’m not sure what you expect to happen?

They're probably expecting their email provider to take that info and use it somewhere upstream of their own individual account. Which, as you've pointed out, does happen.

Maybe they don't believe that it happens often enough or something, but the thresholds do need to be reasonably high since, as you pointed out, some people hit the button whether it's justified or not. If the threshold for email provider action was too low, you'd end up not being able to send to anyone with Gmail because one guy forgot he signed up to a list (or signed up and immediately reported it as spam to spite the sender).

The person you replied to also sounds like they may be using an offline or third-party email client, though. There's a difference between a "Report Spam" button somewhere your email provider controls, and a "Mark as Spam" button in your third-party email client. I'd assume there's some kind of protocol that could potentially allow third-party clients to report it back to the email provider, but would also assume it may not be as reliable as first-party interfaces.

AI training demand should in theory be extremely elastic. Scale up when and where power is cheap, scale down when and where it is expensive. Training larger models takes a long time, and storing or moving the current training checkpoint is not that expensive.

Inference is somewhat elastic - people want relatively low latency - they might be able to tolerate an extra round-trip around the world, but probably not waiting until a time when there is more total capacity.

However, the big impediment to using cheap and green power is the capital cost of the training hardware; that can't be moved around in a hurry, so its capacity goes unused when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. Much of the cost of the high-end data centre oriented GPU hardware is likely not incremental cost for nvidia - it is recovering fixed costs, or profit. In addition, people buying the hardware fear it will depreciate, so they have a limited time frame to use it.

So it is fair to say that it is nvidia's pricing strategy that is a significant driver of Google, Microsoft and Amazon investing in nuclear.
Yeah I’d likely just pick the best scoring one (that is, the pick is made by the evaluation tool, not the model) - to simulate “whatever the receiver deemed best for what they wanted”.
