The problem with the west is that it’s already developed. Everything in the west is a bit like the European automobile industry, it’s highly refined for what it is and we expect to milk it for some time to come.

Same thing happened with the financial institutions and internet infrastructure - those who had the early versions of it established early ended up lagging behind once the technology was superseded.

The poorest countries in Europe had the best internet for a while because the richest countries wanted to milk the copper wires they invested on.

The US for long had much worse payments systems than Europe and Africa because they were at advanced stage on adopting the early technology.
You've precisely described the reason I will not fly commercial anymore. All of this surveillance has a chilling effect. On citizens, on business, on international trade.

Flying privately requires none of this. Which is how you know they're not serious about security but about control of the masses.

Also, the thing you're ignoring, and perhaps why you fail to understand the problem, is you haven't bothered to ask what the false positive rate is. Would you enjoy being stopped and arrested by very cocksure police simply because a computer made a mistake and they refuse to believe that?
Yes, though O’Brien is Ó Briain in Irish, according to Wikipedia. I think the apostrophe in Irish names was added by English speakers, perhaps by analogy with "o'clock", perhaps to avoid writing something that would look like an initial.

There are also English names of Norman origin that contain an apostrophe, though the only example I can think of immediately is the fictional d'Urberville.
Yes but those signs had WIRES and BATTERIES, which are clear indicators of sinister intent.
> It doesn't matter if the model is deterministic or probabilistic: a probabilistic model can be used to (losslessly) compress a dataset with entropy coding.

But if you can choose to lose information you can obviously achieve a higher compression score. That's literally what optical & auditory compression exploits. Indeed, we know people generally don't memorize the entire Wikipedia article. Rather they convert what they learn into some internally consistent story that they can then recite at any time & each time they recite it it's even differently worded (maybe memorizing some facts that help solidify the story).

Again, I have no problem with compression and decompression being equated to intelligence provided both are allowed to be lossy (or at least one facet of intelligence). That's because you get to inject structure into the stored representation that may not otherwise exist in the original data and you get to choose how to hydrate that representation. That's why LZMA isn't "more intelligent" than ZIP - the algorithm itself is "smarter" at compression but you're not getting to AGI by working on a better LZMA.

It's also why H264 and MP3 aren't intelligent either. While compression is lossy decompression is deterministic. That's why we can characterize LLMs as "more intelligent" than LZMA even though LZMA compresses losslessly better than LLMs.
"It's a security measure" would be a very convincing line for a slower response time on a single, infrequent action that the user takes.
Peer reviews are (often) also done by people who live and breathe the subject matter.
I fixed my recurrent back pain with a 6 mn daily morning, ie. plank, side plank, reverse plank, 1mn 30 sec each.

Posture muscles are not very well known in the general public. Loss of strength due to aging and sedentary lifestyle makes standing, seating, etc uncomfortable.

You can just show the user the transliteration & have them confirm it makes sense. Always store the original version since you can't reverse the process. But you can compare the transliterated version to make sure it matches.

Debit cards a pretty common example of this. I believe you can only have ASCII in the cardholder name field.
Too late, I already gave the US government my DNA/reference via blood sample. The military has been doing that since the early 90's.
You write a letter and hopefully that solves it.

You then hold a committee meeting and hopefully that solves it.

You finally change federal law and usually that solves it.

If it doesn't you have to start arresting people to foment change.

This is not a gentle tool.
for example https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ + cron job on router to periodically update dns record
It's a general pattern of what russia does to names of places and people, which is aggressively imposing their own cultural paradigm (which follows the more general general pattern). You can look up your civil code provisions around names and ask a question or two of what historical problem they attempt to solve.
So a couple of things i remember from back in the old structural bioinformatics days...

Firstly, there are naturally occurring mixed-chirality (alternating) peptides. They are usually circular iirc.

Secondly, no you can't really have larger proteins with both left and right (ignoring glycine). They would not fold into nice helix/sheet strucures and likely just be random coil.

For cells to have mixed populations of all-L and all-R proteins would mean doubling up all the machinery for creating them.

One theory that I thought was reasonable for why there's a monochiral world is that once the arbitrary choice is made (L or R) then that gets 'locked in' by all the machinery around that choice. As in, L 'won'.
Thanks for the info. How would you go about figuring out what the blob allows you to configure? Is it documented anywhere (e.g. an Intel Manual)?
Some people aren't smart enough to appreciate theory. These people don't even learn the hard way either. They take their disbelief and excuses to their grave. For the rest of us, good theories aren't just admired from afar, they're acted upon before they materialize.
Why do I feel this is not so simple as the compiler scenario?

I've seen a lot of "piles of YAML", even contributed to some. There were some good projects that didn't end up in disaster, but to me the same could be said for the shell.
> It may not exactly be the most highbrow philosophical or theological treatise you've ever encountered

It's worse than that, it's bad theology on a topic that has been discussed for millennia.
Nice, but I like my servers and find serverless difficult to debug.
is the default-src necessary if you're using sandbox or is it redundant?
This seems insane. I think there must be part of the story we're not hearing.

Not saying I'd agree with it even with the whole story, I don't know, but I am dubious of this being the full story, because in fact communities are not _that_ crazy.
The last I was in San Francisco International the TSA staff came barreling out of their door and the first agent out yelled into the terminal, "MAN! I really hope someone opts out today! I can't wait to give that guy a serious patdown."

They're trained to operate in an unethical way.
Those are completely different muscles, so it makes sense that your posture isn’t different.
This isn't a casual mistaken. Taking from the newly implemented border exit control that we've gotten. (If you think we don't have one, re-read that) :

The GAO found that the ability for people to understand that Americans are not required to go through the biometric exit was non-existant and the experience of opting out was very poor.

What this means is signage was not posted that indicating for Americans this is an optional process and people forming the "requirement" were not educated that it is optional for citizens.

Yet, the experience is that people forcefully push people into to posing for the camera with markings on the floor, the lack of opting in/consenting to it, and prevent people from being aware of what's going on. (Yes: You can opt out .. walk up to the board area with your passport open to your photo page)
Sure, but those don't support local deployment, at least not in any sort of easy way.
This is basically it. Rent scales with average income in a location, so no matter how wealthy a society is, the struggle to pay the most basic living expense (shelter) will always remain. You can't escape the rat race without owning property or earning above average income.
How is the power being generated for all this manufacturing capacity?
Starlink would need to license LTE spectrum in every country it operated. Much easier to work with local carriers and piggyback on their existing bandwidth.
Regular Sunday 10 miles here, then I had the pleasure to experience plantar fasciitis. I love running, but the injuries can be really annoying
When they're locally built, tariffs don't apply. Like Japanese, Korean and European car manufacturers, BYD will do the same in Mexico and eventually the US if necessary.
This is basically exactly what we needed at the start up I worked at, with the added need of being able to host open source projects (airbyte, metabase) with a reasonable level of confidence.

We ended up migrating from Heroku to Kubernetes. I tried to take some of the learnings to build https://github.com/czhu12/canine

It basically wraps Kubernetes and tries to hide as much complexity from Kubernetes as possible, and only expose the good parts that will be enough for 95% of web application work loads.
Gaining reliable access to the equipment can also be tricky depending on your budget, schedule and floorplan. I personally couldn't really get a good habit going until I could purchase the equipment and make it available from home. Prior to that I was intermittently going to a gym but Covid really drilled into me how transient that access can be.

Considering how far you can go with just a few gallons of water, would be nice if there was more innovation in this space to increase accessibility in a safe way. While the bars and weights are one thing, it's ultimately the lack of a rack that makes squats troublesome imo.
They're all threats until I walk up to them and actively volunteer. Then it's all "i swear i'm not gay i'm required to touch you near your groin."

The amount of agents who act like that and then start to get shy when you smile and go through with a patdown is pretty comical.
That's the beauty of this system. You build it all locally, test it locally, debug it locally. Only then do you deploy to the cloud. And since you can build the whole thing with one file, it's really easy to reason about.

And if somehow you get a bug in production, you have the time travel debugger to replay exactly what the state of the cloud was at the time.
I've seen a bit of confusion regarding this. First, it's 10% of Denmark's total land area, which is roughly equivalent to 15% of farmland area. Second, the conversion of farmland area into nature and forests is mainly for improving water quality, as excess nitrogen from agriculture has essentially killed the rivers and coastal waters through oxygen depletion from algae.

Regarding global warming and CO2, the area conversion of peatlands will help, but the major change here is the introduction of a carbon tax for the entire agricultural industry. And to end confusion regarding other emissions than CO2, it's actually a CO2-equivalent (CO2e) tax, which includes a range of other gasses. E.g., 1kg of methane is 25kg CO2e.

If you'd like to read more, see the two PDF documents below, which are the main official documents. They're in Danish, but upload them to Claude or ChatGPT, and you'll have a much better source of information if you'd like to know more about the specifics and how the actual implementation is planned.

Even for consumer devices, battery aging and capacity loss is very slow after 70%,

My laptop, power tools and iphone beg to differ....
The issue is that people stop exercising at all as adults which makes about as much sense as stopping teeth brushing.

If you just consistently do a little bit of strength training then it never gets hard, you just very slowly tail off in absolute strength which is fine.

The average adult probably also isn’t great at learning for example because they just stop once they finish school.
> Why not resistive heating?

Because France has a massive dependency on nuclear power... of course resistive heaters are cheaper than anything else when you got a ton of NPPs around. But their plants are all aging and are a nightmare to keep operational, so if they'd switch over to heat pumps their total energy demand would go down drastically.
HN downvotes are not signal for truth, just popularity.
Marshall taught one of my classes at NCSU when I was there ten years ago. He was a little eccentric but super nice. I remember that he said if we made a website, the “natural exploratory pressures” of the internet would find it, so all we had to do was have good content. I wonder how much of that still holds, but it’s a good memory. Hope his family finds peace.
And a lot of those people would not have been in a position to start their own companies--much less succeed at it.

Have a big trust fund? Sure. If it were from Day 1, depending on the circumstances, 9-5 would have been ehh. But not sure how directed I would have been absent strong parental direction.
It's similar (ish), but I think unfortunately the comparison distracts from your core point and observation.

Musk Inc. is, in essence, a privet equity company. He raises a fund, and invests it along with his own cash into a business he knows well, and with which he believes he can disrupt the status quo.

He's very hands on, understanding all the important core details, setting culture, and pushing hard. But he also delegates to experts he brings in to run his businesses.

It's obviously not the same as PE, but there are distinct similarities. With each of his companies he clearly can't take an active role all the time, but what his team are experts at is identifying the areas he needs to be on top of, and they will quite literally fly him in for it. It seems to me it's always the start of something, be it a new company or project. He will be there 24/7 getting it off the ground, but then hand over to lieutenants to run.

It's a formula that seems to work again and again. We're (well those of you in the US) are in for an interesting time over the coming year as he has a new project to kick start.
Jessica Tallon's implementation of petnames and edge names was extremely simple within the paper davexunit linked, but used in-band mechanisms to communicate edge names that didn't require any sort of large trusted authority. You could retrieve them directly from fellow peers, who could publish their current set of edge names. This even works in a p2p context over ocapn, etc. The implementation was naive but it did work and used a publish-subscribe mechanism directly from other peers.

That said, edge names are only one way to share contacts. In fact "share contact" on peoples' phones is a great way to have contextual sharing: "Oh, let me introduce you to my friend Dave. Here's Dave's contact info!"

At any rate, petnames aren't a particular technology, they're a design space of "Secure UI/UX". However I do agree more research needs to be done in that space; we've only barely begun to scratch the surface.
>But you can compare the transliterated version to make sure it matches

No you can't.

Add: Okay, you need to know why. I'm right here a living breathing person with a government id that has the same name scribed in two scripts side by side.

There is an algorithm (blessed by the same government that issued said it) which defines how to transliterate names from one to another, published on the parliament web site and implement in all the places that are involved in the id issuing business.

The algorithm will however not produce the outcome you will see on my id, because me, living breathing person who has a name asked nicely to spell it the way I like. The next time I visit the id issuing place, I could forget to ask nicely and then I will have two valid ids (no, the old one will not be marked as void!) with three names that don't exactly match. It's all perfectly fine, because name as a legal concept is defined in the character set you probably can't read anyway.

Please, don't try be smart with names.
Blocking/allowlisting all JavaScript is the only way [1] to have a CSP fully contain an app (no exfiltration) [2] and with prefetch that might not be enough. The author is correct at the end to suggest using WebAssembly. (Also, it still has the issue of clicking links, which can be limited to certain domains or even data: by wrapping the untrusted code in an iframe and using child-src on the parent of the iframe)

People used to say the same things about things made in Taiwan, then Japan, and then China, for things like electronics and white goods. It was true - until suddenly it wasn't.

In engineering you ultimately have to build stuff. Over, and over, and over again. You'll mess it up a lot at first, and then one day you'll realize that you haven't.

China is not stuck in 1965 trying to make an EV out of a saucepan and a backyard forge. They learn, and they keep trying. They have a domestic market that their government allows to be used as a test bed for everything they are doing, which sounds more coercive than it really is, especially given the fierce Sino-centric patriotism they have.

If Xi can last another 20 years without a palace coup, or manage a smooth transition of power that does not whipsaw policy, the West is in serious trouble.
This is supposed to launch in New Zealand during 2024, in partnership with a local carrier. Was being heavily hyped a year or so back, but I haven’t heard much recently?
I was travelling by train from Mongolia/crossed the border by bus because it was cheaper, and when I mean by bus, the bus collects you at the station before the border and drives you to the big border checkpoint building where you cross the border by foot/where they have booths and guards that do the passport and visa checks, just like at an airport.

Maybe I'm misremembering the iris scan. If it did happen, it could be because there were loads of Mongolian students about to embark on their next semester of studies in China.
But they aren't high capacity. As far as I've seen, we've been stuck on the same XY size 512 Mb dies for over a decade. Even now, Infineon is claiming they have a series that'll go up to 4 Gb but is still at the standard 2 Gb maximum. NOR hasn't gotten any denser in forever.
Slim Shady?
I think one thing that is under appreciated with kubernetes is how massive the package library is. It becomes trivial to stand up basically every open source project with a single command via helm. It gets a lot of hate but for medium sized deployments, it’s fantastic.

Before helm, just trying to run third party containers on bare metal resulted in constant downtime when the process would just hang for no reason, and and engineer would have to SSH and manually restart the instance.

We used this as a previous start up to host metabase, sentry and airbyte seamlessly, on our own cluster. Which let us break out of the constant price increases we faced for hosted versions of these products.

Shameless plug: I’ve been building https://github.com/czhu12/canine to try to make Kubernetes easier to use for solo developers. Would love any feedback from anyone looking to deploy something new to K8s!
If we end up going hungry (or food prices spiking), then this policy might be adjusted.

It's not like this will happen overnight anyways.
FWIW I’ve been using ECS at my current work (previously K8s) and to me it feels just flat worse:

- only some of the features

- none of the community

- all of the complexity but none of the upsides.

It was genuinely a bit shocking that it was considered a serious product seeing as how chaotic it was.
Wireguard running on my router (Unifi Dream Machine Pro) - but I have a static IPv4 address, as well as a routed /48 IPv6 block.

Anything that needs to be exposed to the internet (which was essentially TeslaMate during setup) through a cloudflare tunnel, which terminates on a server behind my router.

My heart sank at the description of being LLVM based. (I couldn't think of a worse choice for creating a JIT compiler.) Thankfully, they don't use LLVM at runtime! LLVM is only for static compilation of the JIT.
For a similar reason I think most definitions of poverty are silly. The poorest people in Western societies today are living like kings compared to the living standards of 1800. It's a moving goalpost that doesn't mean anything. You can measure wealth inequality, but that's a different thing.

> Nearly everything NASA does outside of operating the missions themselves is contracted out, especially the SLS which is all of it:

Kind of but not quite AFAIK. The design, specification building, and various prototyping happens within NASA. They contract out once they know what they want to build. Musk doesn't have the ability to cancel the SLS. That would require an act of Congress and face all the same obstacles as why the SLS got created in the first place (to save jobs that would have been cut after the cancellation of the shuttle). However, he would be able to cut the design and specification building & prototyping that NASA does and instead force them to contract out for that (preferably to SpaceX).

The entire focus of DOGE seems to be to reduce the number of employees, not to cut programs. The reason for that is also tactical sabotage. It's hard to cut programs because politics gets involved. But if you could mass fire employees so that government can't succeed at those programs, then you can follow up later and point to how government is incompetent and the programs need to be cut since they're not meeting their goals.

> Unmanned programs like Hubble and the other Great Observatories, New Horizons, Spirit/Opportunity/Curiosity, and the two Voyagers inspire the people far more than manned programs.

Unmanned programs inspire people already inclined to science & exploration of the unknown. They do not inspire people who aren't so inclined and who instead look towards heros to show them what's possible or ask "why are we spending any money on space exploration". Said another way, unmanned programs don't inspire people to become astronauts or value spending on research into exploration. Neil Armstrong landing on the moon inspired a lot of people to dream of becoming astronauts and perhaps spark their interest in science in the first place.

That's why the Mars program is important even if scientifically it's of limited value.

One thing I'll highlight. While Musk is a darling for SpaceX today because SpaceX is competing aggressively, over time SpaceX will inevitably morph into the next Boeing and put us back into the same problems if they're allowed to monopolize the government funds.

> and invisible symbols

Invisible symbols were in Unicode before Unicode was even a thing (ASCII already has a few). I also don't think emojis are the reason why devs add checks like in the OP, it's much more likely that they just don't want to deal with character encoding hell.

As much as devs like to hate on emojis, they're widely adopted in the real world. Emojis are the closest thing we have to a universal language. Having them in the character encoding standard ensures that they are really universal, and supported by every platform; a loss for everyone who's trying to count the number of glyphs in a string, but a win for everyone else.
EUR is the common answer.
