For me it's not so much about that but the "how".

Parent definitely would've nerd sniped me with a link and if these replies here on HN hadn't been there to catch my interest first I would have just googled him.

Basically by trying to be a smart ass and belittling others they harmed their own cause of making Hammurabi more widely known.

We were definitely reading about the lockdowns in Wuhan in January 2020.

January 19, 2020, the first case in Washington state was detected in a man who had recently traveled from Wuhan.

Surveillance blood samples from Dec 13, 2019 to January 17, 2020 from several nine US states were tested for COVID-19 antibodies: "Of the 7389 samples, 106 were reactive by pan-Ig. Of these 106 specimens, 90 were available for further testing. Eighty-four of 90 had neutralizing activity, 1 had S1 binding activity, and 1 had receptor-binding domain/ACE2 blocking activity >50%, suggesting the presence of anti–SARS-CoV-2–reactive antibodies. Donations with reactivity occurred in all 9 states"

When was this? MIT's financial aid was already very generous when I was applying (in 2008); IIRC the no-tuition threshold was 100 k$ back then

>My understanding from initial anecdotes is this is actually literally wrong. Which was surprising to me, too. But people on GLPs tend to prefer more nutritious food (high protein and high fiber).

Not only that but prescribers and patients have noticed that GLP-1 agonists also appear to significantly reduce people's consumption of drugs like alcohol, nicotine and opioids. At least in some populations.

Much more research is needed but right now it's extremely promising that they will have a place in addiction treatment in the future.
Yes, on high density displays this is very much possible. Eye based SSAA, the worse your prescription the better the quality. On my Pixel 9 Pro, the no AA circle demo is perfect on native 1440p resolution without AA. But dense foliage in 3D scenes will definitely ruin that. Motion induced shimmering is inescapable I think, without some kind of filtering.
I agree with your desire for what HN should be, and disagree with your assessment that the top voted comment doesn’t support it.

HN is the only forum I know of that has broadly grasped that most so-called “science” outside of the hard sciences and mathematics is complete garbage and driven by funding needs. The world is awash in non-knowledge. This is an extremely serious issue.

Building the skill to rapidly come to a preliminarily judgement of a headline is crucial.
Most of your analysis is flawed because the model is non-rivalrous so it could easily be given to every player.

Additionally, many people can contribute to make something greater that benefits everyone (see open source). So the argument of “you couldn’t have done this on your own” also doesn’t hold any water.

The only thing that protects niantic is just a shitty ToS like the rest of the games that nobody pays attention to. There is nothing fundamentally “right” about what they did.
There is an email here, I've had success getting a response before:

I'd guess the answer is that "yes" it is still relevant, but I'd be guessing that "most" companies care more about economic efficiency than ideology, too. If you have metrics on how much companies spend to be "skeptical" I'm all ears.
Searching for python documentation was the worst, geeks for geeks and others would get the top slot for reskinning the pypi docs with ads.

The entire thing was so blatant and obvious that I assumed Google did not care due to ad revenue.

When ChatGPT launched search, you could immediately skip over all the crap. It made search nice again.
Thanks for posting!

Out of curiosity, could you talk more about the practical utility of the sensor readings you get while monitoring compost? Temp and moisture seem straightforward, but e.g., does gas composition imply anything about C/N ratio, or does it check if the pile is going anoxic? Is air pressure a general proxy for decomposition rate?

Also, have you changed any of your own composting practices due to what you’ve learned from your experience with monitoring?
There are a lot of people here citing loss of muscle mass as a side effect of GLP-1s, when the reality is that weight loss almost always comes with muscle loss.

For me, that hasn't even been the case. I'm down 40lbs on a relatively low dose of Semaglutide and my muscle mass has moderately increased over the last 6 months. The hysteria over this is totally unfounded.
At the very least, we should expect to see the same kinds of downsides you’d see for anyone who managed to eat way, way less and lose weight at a multiple-pounds-per-week rate for weeks and weeks on end without taking a drug to do it. They’d be truly miraculous if they achieved their results without even the same cost as doing the same thing without the drug.
> When your appetite is crushed you don't go for the chicken breast, you go for what is immediately appetizing (usually carbs+fats like pizza or fries).

Um, when your appetite is "crushed", nothing is particularly appetizing. That is the entire point. It allows one to make better decisions or pass on eating.

"Gee all of the minks died. Maybe we should protect the humans?"
I think it was late 2012 or early 2013 when I was in India (Hyderabad) at a time when an earthquake in the Mediterranean Sea cut I think it was SEA-WE-ME 3. The internet was terrible for the next two weeks, until the cable was repaired: almost half the internet flat-out didn’t work, including most USA hosts. I have no idea why communication between India and the USA, which should head east, was affected by a break to the west in the Mediterranean. I do know that local ISPs often have fairly dodgy peering arrangements.

My workaround was to tunnel via my own VPS in Singapore, as I could connect to it and but I was using OpenVPN back then and performance was pretty terrible. (Now if I want such tunnelling I use WireGuard, and it’s much better.)
I think it’s kind of up to the investors what is unfair for them.
Very much have. Don't care much for one, do care for some of the other.

The belittling continues I see.

Have you heard of Terry Fox? Anyone with an elementary school education surely has.
"It could help with search and rescue" jokes aside [1] this seems really useful for robotics. Their demo video is estimating a camera position from a single image, after learning the scene from a couple images. Stick the camera on a robot, and you are now estimating where the robot is based on what the robot has seen before.

They are a bit vague on what else the model does, but it sounds like they extrapolate what the rest of the environment could look like, the same way you can make a good guess what the back side of that rock would look like. That gives autonomous robots a baseline they can use to plan actions (like how to drive/fly/crawl to the other side) that can be updated as new view points become available.

> This kind of depends on the "great man" view of history where these figures have the kind of influence needed to move entire cultures.

No it doesn't it just depends on the "words the most important person in the world says matters in times of crisis" view of history.

> Some of this was probably cultural contagion from the US, but not all of it.

I don't think "all of it" is the alternative. There has clearly been a groundswell of similar sentiments across the western world, but to suppose that the question of who is the US President is literally immaterial is frankly insane.
Why would anyone take issue with this? Asking as someone who tried both games at different points.

Niantic was always open with the fact that they gather location data, particularly in places cars can't go - I remember an early blog post saying as much before they were unbundled from Google. No one was tricked, they were just not paying attention.
"Imho, the biggest mistake in the West's approach to the entire war has been its failure to proactively announce military aid changes and the conditions that would trigger them."

Yes, exactly. Everything is justified post-hoc. It's almost as if they are deliberately treating Russia like a naughty child. The last thing we want is a tantrum.

My guess is they don't want DMV employees checking odometers, because they won't trust the vehicle owners and the possibility of odometer tampering, if they can still do that.

It's moving and feels true, I have a particular dislike for credit card processing, but when I stop myself, I cannot think of a single practical example of how credit card processing has tightened rather than loosened over time. Separately, despite despising the ex. absurdity of AmEx getting 5% of the restaurant check because they pay off their customers, their profit seems attributable and proportionate to the credit risk taken on, there aren't really signs of significant market power

Are you a member of any ACM special interest groups? Which ones? Do you find your membership valuable? What kinds of value are you getting out of it?
Yep! So far it looks like GLPs might just be a generic "craving-reducer." Pretty wild stuff if it holds (and we continue not to see significant adverse effects).

Nah, wokeness was zero-sum, interested in domination/submission and Power, and it sought to control others, particularly their speech. This is positive-sum -- your health comes at no-one else's expense, and indeed your example can quietly help others (and vice versa) -- and the only person you're really worried about controlling is yourself.

Legal battles can be very expensive, even if you are not actually in the wrong.
>it's easier to make these criticisms in retrospect.

For what it's worth, I've been critical of our (American, subsequently western) response since the first one. Speaking as an American, our response was and still are lukewarm and thus ineffectual in declaring a firm stand against warmongering. I was heartbroken and then angry at being told how (not) valuable world peace actually was.

What Putin did was declare war against the very notion of peace, and the west fucking surrendered it in the worst way possible after preaching so passionately about peace to everyone everywhere everytime.
It may not be Geospatial data at all and I'm not sure how much the users consented but the data collection strategy was well crafted. I remember recommending building a game to collect handwriting data from testers (about a thousand), to the research lab I worked for long time back.
In the raw footage the wavefront will almost always appear to move from the closer points to the further points simply because it takes time to propagate, and we see that in their example here. This is now somewhat misleading, as they're synthetically moving the camera in post (but not the pulse propagation). I point this out because the team have also developed an "unwarping" technique to cancel it out, and they demonstrate it at the bottom of their website. Note how the scattered light now propagates outward intuitively.

In defense of bash, in spite of its many footguns... you do yourself a disservice if you refuse to learn bash, which is rock-solid stable and has basically ubiquitous deployment. SSH into any server or use any UNIX-like environment and you are instantly at home. While JS and Ruby ecosystems churn every year and mandate yet another round of dependency hell and keeping up with the latest and greatest in rubocop bikeshedding, bash just keeps on ticking throughout the years with little to no recurring maintenance burden.

That being said, if you are doing something other than just piping together processes and managing unstructured streams of flat plaintext, bash is the wrong tool for the job. bash is best used interactively, in the REPL, for having a back-and-forth conversation with the machine and interrogating its current state (filesystem, resource usage...), or that of other machines over the network (that is, using dig, curl, openssl, ping, mtr, etc), and processing streams of text. Even for lightly structured data, like if I am doing boring, garbage CRUDdy tedium on the web and need to figure out how to do some rudimentary transform of a JSON document, figure out which headers to send and which endpoints to hit, curl and jq it is - and there I am, reshaping the data in as interactive of an environment it gets.

The minute I need to write something for a non-interactive, end-user use case, with requirements for better domain modelling / structuring of data, testing, deployment, readability, maintainability, extensibility, etc. it is time to reach for a more modern language. But if you want to talk to the machine, virtually any (non-Windows) machine, interactively, bash is your lingua franca, or perhaps your Latin/Ancient Greek/Aramaic, esoteric and outdated as it is.

I also get the feeling that people just recoil at any level of complexity and need to hide behind their clean, simple abstractions these days. As a Haskell enthusiast, I am also susceptible to this tendency, but one needs to be at least capable of diving into the historical, messy work underneath the hood.
I don't see how it's surprising at all, given the current climate of overmarketing and overpromising on "AI" in tech. The most realistic applications are also the most straightforward - academic cheating, machine-generated "art," mediocre automated customer support, and so forth.
Ever since the slaughterbots video this is sort of how I imagined the next wars. Hundreds of thousands of autonomous drones killing anything that moves.

> Even state and especially UC have “invested” significantly in infrastructure improvements paid for with loans backed by expectations of tuition income, which has had an absurd effect on growing tuition far outside of inflation.

What timeframe are you looking at?

Back in 2011, registration fees at UC Berkeley were $7,230 per semester, with $813 allotted to health insurance (which could be waived if you provided proof of existing insurance from your family), so $6,417 ignoring health insurance. Meanwhile, last year, registration fees were an eye-popping $9,847 for new students, but cost of health insurance grew much faster to $1,929 ($7,918 ignoring health insurance). This is about a 23% increase, compared to CPI-measured inflation of about 35% between Sep 2011 and Sep 2023.

(The next biggest driver of the overall increase was the campus fee, which went from $253 to $820.)

Or, if you look at just tuition alone, that went from $5610 to $6261, or just barely above 10%.

https://registrar.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/fee_schedu...

If you look further back, in 1999, tuition was a mere $1543, but I posit that tuition at UCs has actually been fairly stable over the past decade.

Thanks, 2h is a bit too much for me, so what I do is about 3-4 10-12 mins walk-sprint walk reps. Basically half walk (3.5m/h) and half sprint-walk (4.4m/h). I wish I could do more but my joints are not really good.
Ultimately what you’re doing is scalable for most use cases. You can even horizontally scale that setup on the fly to mimicking what you would get from using next in a serverless environment.
Frankly, with the amount of real-world walking required to progress in Ingress and Pokémon Go, most players were compensated by the motivation to get a decent amount of exercise, which had a net positive impact on their health. Most exercise apps require users to pay subscriptions for the pleasure of using them.
Suppose a group of people agree amongst themselves to work together to produce and sell a good or service.

Are these people entitled to the rights you're talking about? They're people, so I think you must say that they are.

OTOH, to all intents and purposes these people are behaving like a corporation. How can it be that corporations are denied those rights, but groups of people that behave exactly like corporations -- that are corporations, in all but name -- are entitled to them?

My prior post is choosing not to compare the two at all. In isolation, it is easier for California to handle fewer roads than it currently does.
I agree. And I think a lot of the most extreme backlash took off towards the end of the pandemic, when vaccine mandates became a thing. This was the moment where many people I know who were otherwise ok going along with many of the other measures started drawing a line and then began working backwards towards doubting everything else they had been told up to that point.

Notably, this was not Trump's fuckup.

And just to be clear about where I stand - I get the COVID booster together with a flu shot every fall now.
> There's nothing here to be curious about, just the usual "corporations bad"

I'm sorry to be abrupt, but thats not true. We can see that empirically. For instance, you are talking to someone who read it and thinks that's a simplistic caricature of what they said.

So we can dispense with the idea your rephrasing is equivalent. That's indisputable.

There's a good quote about this in Rand, something something faced with a contradiction check your premises. When we jump to these kind of reactions, it's an annoying responsibility to pause and sigh, and engage on some level beyond "I'm sick of people saying (something they didn't say)"
I hope this leads to DHH adopting Sorbet into Rails given Shopify has a strong interest in it.

On second thought, It is a large investment for something that isn't a core Ruby feature.
We’re not even allowed to add watchers to our legal Jira since our lawyers have told us it destroys privilege if there are multiple people in the discussion with the legal team. No chance if that’s true that a “cc:Lawyer” would provide any meaningful protection.
The JVM has a lot of modules and powerful features that, should perimeter defences fail, an attacker has access to. Then there's the issue of vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies upon which trusted libraries might depend, but aren't needed for deployed software, additional functionality which may be useful to an attacker. Features our software doesn't utilise may be available to a hacker to load dynamically, once perimeter defences have been breached or assist the attacker in breaching perimeter defences.

We may need to give the JVM access to keystores and private information that, should an attacker obtain them, have significant consequences. This isn't going to be the case for everyone, we have software that doesn't utilise SM authorization.

Java's existing SM infrastructure doesn't prevent loading modules or jar files based on signers, nor does it perform whitelisting of serializable classes. I've added LoadClassPermission to SecureClassLoader and SerialObjectPermission to Serialization. Java has serial filters for whitelisting, but these suffer the same problem as SecurityManager did, limited tooling to support building the whitelist. These new permissions allow policy to control loading of modules, including platform modules, based on Signer certificates etc and Serialization whitelists. The Serialization whitelist includes the code on the stack, and the authenticated user. Without the authenticated user (the source of the data), the code alone doesn't have permission to deserialize, the user, cannot deserialized with unauthorized code.

We developed high scaling policy providers (used for over a decade in production), that utilise immutability and thread confinement, we also developed a security manager with a non-blocking cache (cleaned by garbage collection), to avoid repeated permission checks from executor tasks and such like.

I've added these high-performance implementations.

However, the main feature is a principle of least privilege policy tool, with the following property -Djava.security.manager=polpAudit, The JVM will generate policy files, from least privilege principles, including execution paths with code signers, logged in users and serialized classes. This step is performed in a deployment staging environment.

When ready to deploy to production, simply set the property back to -Djava.security.manager=default and the JVM will now use high performance implementations, feel free to try it, the performance cost is unnoticeable for the majority of tasks, keep in mind the cache and hotspot will need time to warm up.

This isn't for sandboxing untrusted code; it's for constraining execution to trusted code and users and assisting in auditing. This isn't your old security manager you used for Applets, we're discarding the cruft and reusing the good.

The goal is, make it simple and practical to deploy a JVM with Authorization.
