The law itself is broken, at least when combined with trade secret law. When you look at the incentive structure, you see the no one would apply for a patent if they thought it was actually difficult for others to independently figure out or reverse engineer; it's better to simply keep it a secret, and anyone sharing it will be liable for civil action and criminal prosecution. If you believe that others will figure it out on their own anyway, then it makes sense to patent it to deny them the ability to do so. Pretty much the entirety of IP law is a farce.

The whole story about wanting to incentivize companies to share their secrets doesn't even make sense. If we want the body of public knowledge to grow, don't legally protect secrets. Make non-competes illegal and make NDAs have a short maximum time limit, and you won't need to do anything special for knowledge to proliferate. The nerds that actually make things tend to like talking about how it works.
What a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.
And it gives you the right answer. Just tried it with chatGPT and Gemini. You can shove your petty strawman.
In the interest of this being a place for discussions:
I have frequently heard the slogan that the republican efforts to cut federal programs is a major cause of why these programs failure. As I mentioned above, I am sure that such policy is not helping these programs, but as a bigger point, there is just not a good correlation between such policies and the actual effectiveness of various government programs. The military/dod is a great example of a part of the government that has received bipartisan budget increases for more than two decades running (it always escapes republican calls for fiscal responsibility) and yet the military is a pretty bloated and ineffective operation. Meanwhile the parks service, department of interior, EPA, etc are all constantly getting squeezed by the republicans and yet they are all pretty good at what they do and deliver a lot on a tight budget. If anything I would say that the effectiveness of government programs is inversely correlated with the intensity of republican assaults on them. Meanwhile in solidly blue areas there are plenty of government programs that just plain suck and plenty that work very well. If it were a simply matter of one party being the difference then you would not see so much variance. There is a lot more to what makes a government program effective than whether it is well funded. Saying that government is incapable of delivering core services is clearly a nonsense position, but blaming the failures of government on the republicans doesn't really seem to be supported by any evidence.

Yes, obviously humidity changes with temperature. I don’t see how that’s important. 99% of dead boards out there are not dead because of indoor, room temperature level humidity fluctuations, and the plenty of PCBs still working from the 70s don’t seem much affected by them either. There’s thermal cycling concerns, but that’s dominated by the board’s own heat generation. Do you have some data that would indicate that modern boards are sensitive to this?
At least when I took world history and anthropology classes, the academic term for 'monumental architecture' was quite well defined: large-scale man-made structures that are built to impress and convey symbolic meanings. Göbekli Tepe is definitely that. The definition you offer seems quite subjective, and maybe more suited to art history than archeology.

Network traffic monitoring is routinely done at enterprises. It's usually part-automated using the typical approaches (rules and AI), and part-manual (via a dedicated SOC team).

There are actual compromises caught this way too, it's not (entirely) just for show. A high-profile example would be Kaspersky catching a sophisticated data exfiltration campaign at their own headquarters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f6YyH62jFE

So it is definitely possible, just maybe not how you imagine it being done.
Outside of a philosophy class, 'know' takes on quite a bit more pragmatic meaning which is perfectly appropriate here.

This is a great article! Funny about Yugiri (39), because your version is a mirror image to Eawase (17), and the traditional Japanese Yugiri breaks that symmetry.

Every Genji-mon that is not self-symmetrical should have a mirror image, which I was able to quickly verify in the Genji-mon table you displayed.

Minori (40) is the only non symmetrical Genji-mon that breaks the rule, because it's the only one whose mirror image is also isomorphic to itself.

I can only imagine that there was something deliberate about the symmetry breaking for Yugiri, given the almost fanatical attention to detail in Japanese arts in general, and the equally strong penchant for deliberate imperfection in traditions like Kintsugi.

> Informed consent is an essential pre-condition to providing immunization

Why does the consent need to be collected individually? We don't even require collective sign off for the factory fumes we each breathe daily. It seems reasonable for a government to consent on behalf of its governed for something like public health.

>The top end Pentium 4 had a TDP of 115W vs. 170W for the current top end Ryzen 9000 and even worse for current Intel.

You can't compare CPUs based on TDP; it's an almost entirely useless measurement. The only thing it's good for is making sure you have a sufficient heatsink and cooling system, because it tells you only the peak power consumption of the chip. No one runs their CPUs flat-out all the time unless it's some kind of data center or something; we're talking about PCs here.

What's important is idle CPU power consumption, and that's significantly better these days.

>older phones or tablets with <5W CPUs, so why do those go out of support so fast?

That's an entirely different situation because of the closed and vendor-controlled nature of those systems. They're not PCs; they're basically appliances. It's a shitty situation, but there's not much people can do about it, though many have tried (CyanogenMod, GrapheneOS, etc.).

>Plenty of others who don't even care about 4k

Not everyone cares about 4k, it's true (personally I like it but it's not that much better than 1080p). But if you can't tell the difference between 1080p and an NTSC TV, you're blind.

>1080p TVs and even some 720p TVs are still sold new

Yes, as I said before, we're seeing diminishing returns. (Or should I say "diminishing discernable improvements"?)

Also, the 720p stuff is only in very small (relatively) screens. You're not going to find a 75" TV with 720p or even 1080p; those are all 4k. The low-res stuff is relegated to very small budget models where it's really pointless to have such high resolution.
The Radeon 7800 XT is officially supported on Windows [1], and I'm pretty sure it works fine on Linux even if it's not considered officially supported. It's Navi 32, just like the Radeon PRO V710, which is officially supported on Linux.

If Reddit actually cared about their users they'd have a feature to blanket-block various topics, like politics, meme, sports or anime subreddits. There is this big map of Reddit and if it were for me I'd never see any content of many if not most of these regions: https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/

Reddit is dearly missing a recommendation feed that actually aligns with ones interests (e.g. subreddits similar to those already subscribed to and upvoted content). Oh, and owners who care more about their users than money - but I guess that's been hopeless from the beginning. I've mostly stopped using it and would love to know alternatives

Ask HN: Paid Ads to Test Messaging?
I'm currently focused on outbound via LinkedIn for a B2B Software product, specifically aimed at Data Scientists.

I'm having trouble with the messaging though. I have some other ideas I'd like to try, but I don't have a large enough sample to test them on. Mostly because LinkedIn has such a low messaging limit

Have you all experimented with the use of paid ads to test messaging for use in other most cost effective campaigns?
100% agree with you on the keyboards. I had an X220, then a T490, and now I'm on an E16. The keyboard has gotten noticeably worse every time I've upgraded, sacrificing key travel and feel for flatness. It's such a shame - I would happily take a little extra body thickness for a nicer feeling keyboard.
> The HN title makes it sound like differences between the brain and ANNs were previously unknown and is misleading IMO

There are no words in the title which express this. Your own brain is "making it sound" like that. Misleading, yes, but attribute it correctly.
Auth Series 3: SSO
As I said in a sister comment here, you can't compare CPUs by TDP. No one runs their CPU flat-out all the time on a PC. Idle power is the important metric.
I think TypeScript provides a lot more of the freedom the author is looking for. For instance, you can say, "the type of this argument is whatever is returned by that function."

Personally I find myself more comfortable and productive using types. Stating your types has a similar benefit to journaling, in my view. It's a forcing function for clarifying your ideas about the problem domain. Some perceive this as overhead, I perceive this as front loading. If my ideas are murky, I will run into trouble sooner or later. The later it is, the more painful it will be.

I think it largely comes down to different habits of working and thinking. I don't think one way is superior to another inherently (though types are important for collaboration), but that different people work in different ways.
All this means is that you poorly curated your follows.

No.

Rendering outside of a web browser gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to how you layout and render. Rendering engines don’t necessarily use components tree by the way.

Even gui frameworks (which is what I think you are talking about with OS graphic library) have layout engines which are a lot more powerful than css. Flexbox is a step in the right direction but still inferior to what some frameworks could do 20 years ago.

Many places all over the world including the Caribbean. The locals warn people not to use Google Maps.

My problem with Google is that they have a wildly inaccurate maps that would destroy the reputation of any cartographer, yet they publish their app giving dangerous and deadly routes happily gathering the ad revenue without so much a warning that their directions are certain to result in a horrible outcome. I am still appalled, but all we can do is warn people and share stories.
Here's the way I'm thinking about this:

the vertical cuts do not significantly the internal structure of the onion as each individual cut I make does not entirely sever the connection between the thin vertical slices I'm making. This means that I can do a lot of these, and not worry about harming the overall structural integrity. Then I make a single horizontal cut which does harm the overall structural integrity. This is not intrinsic to the horizontal cut itself, but the fact that I have both horizontal and vertical cuts.

If I start with the horizontal cut, again I do not signficantly harm the structural integrity of the onion. However, each subsequent vertical cut I make is now going to individually compromise the integrity of the onion.

With a sufficiently sharp knife, the single horizontal cut at the end does not really pose a significant danger overall.

This all being said I almost never do the horizontal cut out of pure laziness, and instead prefer to just do angled vertical cuts analogous to the video. They're never perfect but fine enough for me...
And arguably if one applies duct tape all over the laptop, the laptop can no longer be used, therefore no data can be input into it, preventing that data to be then exfiltrated by malware. A truly versatile product.
Are you hiring? (only somewhat sarcastic)

I did a 15~ month stint at AWS. Originally I was signed on to be a support engineer for their Linux teams, which sounded great! Absolutely within my skillset and a great way to get to play with new technologies and features at scale that I haven't before (Ansible, etc)

After going through all the hoops I get sidelined into the "Containers" team and have to learn Kubernetes, ECS, Fargate etc all effectively from scratch

It's all miserable. All of it. Massive Rube Goldberg machines of complexity for the sake of complexity that you need a team to decipher, let alone maintain.

Unfortunately it feels like all the Sysadmin jobs have been replaced either by "DevOps" or Cloud Engineers. There's little market left for people who just want to keep boxes inside a datacenter (or on prem) humming along. The ones that do all want that also seem to be all wedded to MSP's unfortunately
Yeah its weird, because the whole point of having a system for hiring involving common questions, rubrics, etc is because at the end of the day you can either show that scoring well on the interview is correlated with higher end-of-year performance reviews or not show that and alter your interview system until it does.

Like you guys can keep posting these articles that have 0 statistical rigor. It's not going to change a process that came about because it had statistical significance.

Do remember, Google used to be known for asking questions like "How many piano tuners are in NYC". Those questions are gone not because somebody wrote a random article insulting them; they're going because somebody did actual math and showed they weren't effective.

> conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this news

From what I've been able to tell, conspiracy theorists are hosts unto themselves. If you have the chance to talk to one deep in the weeds in person, it's fascinating how you can throw out literally any assertion, back it up with negative evidence ("can't really go into that"), and see the pick up. (It's best to do this outside your own context. As an American, it's easier to see the nonsense abroad.)

the key difference is in the function of the reticle if we want to do it in bulk analogous to normal lithography

in normal 2D lithography, you're typically only concerned with exposing area on a relatively flat film. This allows you to essentially 'block' the areas you don't want to expose and flood the areas you do want to expose. So you make your reticle with your pattern on it and you just shine the active wavelength (lets say 400 nm) through it and you get an exposed pattern and the areas not exposed.

in this volume lithography, you still have a relative thin flat film, but the pattern is no longer confined to a 2D surface, but in general is a 3D volume. So the reticle now needs to project a 3D pattern (essentially a hologram) instead of a 2D pattern. This is in general going to be quite difficult, and in some cases physically impossible if we're illuminating with the active wavelength.

eg. imagine a pattern like this where we are exposing from the top

---------------------

++++++++++++

--++----++--------

where --- is unexposed and ++ is exposed. There is basically no way we can get the active light to the 2nd layer without at least partially exposing the first layer.

The way the nanoscribe and similar systems goes about this is to use nonlinear effects. If I shine very intense 800 nm light onto a medium with a special optical property called a third order nonlinearity, I can sometimes get the medium to accept 2 800 nm photons as a substitute for a 400 nm photon (energy conservation is obeyed here since an 800 nm photon has half the energy of a 400 nm photon).

The crux here is that it needs to be very intense 800 nm light, so it needs to be concentrated. It's much harder to get intense light to expose an entire 3d hologram than it is to focus it into a single spot and raster it around.

Of course I'm not saying it will never be possible, but it is a significant effort.

Anyways, it's probably a good thing that food is so cheap that you need to create it at large scale to make any money off it.

Food production exists to feed people, not prop up small contributors to the food supply because their goods have been made too cheap and affordable for everyone.
