You could replace ECDSA with a post quantum algorithm. Keep in mind that many crypto primitives are safe, so there are large parts of bitcoin where you don't have to do anything. Digital signatures is going to be where the main problem is for bitcoin. But thinks like the hash algorithm should be fine (at most quantum gives a square root speed up for hashing, which isn't enough to be really concerning).

One thing that might be problematic for a blockchain where everything has to go on the blockchain forever is that some post quantum schemes have really large signatures or key sizes.

I'm not that familiar with the details of bitcoin, but i had the impression that p2pkh is more secure against quantum computers.

[I should emphasize, im not a cryptographer and only somewhat familiar with bitcoin]
Your feelings as a non-Japanese have absolutely no bearing on what flies in Japan.

Whether the content concerned is tentacle hentai, or goth lolis, or genderbent King Arthur and Leonardo Da Vinci, or whatever else, that stuff is legal under Japanese law and Visa/MC are violating Japanese rights ordering Japanese creators and merchants to censor them. Visa/MC are quite literally engaging in foreign interference and subversion of democracy and Japan's very culture.
The point of tree calculus as I understand is that all programs are valid data structures, so they can be modified and analyzed during runtime with nothing but other programs.
Yes, I believe so. It doesn't seem to have been the OP, though. The submission was a fine one.
By number sure but by volume no, UMG/Sony/WMG etc are not owned by Musicians.

Indie labels and the occasional hit independent label like Def Row/TDE are small in comparison and usually only include the owning musicians established music, not their beginnings. Bands often have to fight to buy back rights for that kinda stuff.

Interscope, Reprise, etc are all owned by the big three. Interscope wasn't even founded by artists.

Also labels (like Def Row and Reprise) often sell out to the big three, so even if you sign to one of them when they're independent, that won't mean it'll last forever and you as an artist won't get veto over that.

The OpenWrt One is the first device designed by the OpenWrt developers to run firmware images that they release. It’s very clear what I mean, but your pedantry prevents you from admitting fault. It’s not consistent with HN guidelines and you should stop or I will notify mods. But you do you.
They showed a logical qubit that can last entangled for an hour, but to do that they had to combine their hundred or so physical qubits into a single one, so in some sense they have, right now, a single (logical) qubit

If you want to learn about what theoretical quantum computers might be able to do faster than classical ones and what they might not, you can try to read about quantum complexity theory, or some of what Scott Aaronson puts out on his blog if you don't want to go that in depth.

But the key thing to know about quantum computing is that it is all about the mathematical properties of quantum physics, such as the way complex probabilities work.
Which is total nonsense. There is certainly plenty of room for improvement in the healthcare system. But the average competence level of doctors is higher now than ever before. If you think we have problems now than look how many quacks there were a century ago, before health insurance even really existed.
Right, and in the meantime nuclear-armed countries mostly get to avoid the horrible, endless churn of death and war and teenagers being sent off to the meat grinder to push some border here or some border there.

We have eliminated warfare between nuclear countries, conflicts have been reduced to nuclear/non-nuclear or proxy warfare, and that's a very solid reduction in suffering.
I don't think anyone went and checked the whois database at that time that can corroborate the story.
Indie musicians love tech. "Sound cloud rapper" was a whole genre. Bandcamp brought so many indie artists into the mainstream who never would have been found without it.

Historically, musicians made most of their money off of concerts and merch (especially merch at concerts). Established musicians definitely rallies against streaming/digital downloads when it first came out, but some newer artists have embraced it given it cuts out the middle man and you don't necessarily need to suck up to labels to get any "airtime" and thus reach.

Looking for feedback on my new wellness wearable idea
hi,
I have an idea to make a tactile feedback wearable device which would be worn on the wrist.It's a screen-less device which has sensors that essentially works on detecting if your anxiety levels are going up and provides tactile feedback and then also teaches you mindful breathing so you can calm yourself down. The tactile feedback makes a more anxious person self aware and gets them out of the constant thinking loop. The device also has other features like SOS alerts when you are having a panic attack so a friend/family can reach out to you. The idea of the device is to teach people coping strategies and make it the body's automatic response when anxious. While in CBT, when a person who's facing anxiety or a panic attack the first thing that's taught is how o control your breath. The device's main idea is to teach people the same; i.e being in control of your breath by a) stimulating them through texture and the b) mindful breathing exercises.
As someone who suffers from Anxiety disorder and has been in therapy, taking control of my breath required a lot of work. Ideally the mirroring exercise or letting a friend talk me out of a panic attack or an anxiety attack are the only two things which would help me consciously control my breath. But in situations where people do not know how to cope, are not comfortable with talking to friends (since that's an additional step which you ideally do not think of when feeling anxious or when panicking) this device should help!
I'm still working on this device and would love to get feedback on the same.
Haven’t seen this before, pretty neat https://topaz.github.io/paste/#XQAAAQATAAAAAAAAAAAqGgknZByHj...
I don't feel like the article is particularly in favor of or against debanking in general. (I think in fact that his position as stated is that debanking in general is bad unless it's against people he doesn't like, which is a position held by literally everybody.) Rather, it's an examination of why debanking exists in general and why "bank everyone you're allowed to" isn't the dominant strategy, what factors go into influencing politically-driven debanking, and whether or not the current argument made by cryptocurrency advocates that "we are being debanked for political reasons" is true or not. It concludes that while crypto is being debanked (or equivalently but less provocatively, banks are declining to create new relations with them), it's primarily because crypto has historically been bad for banks. This in turn has created a(n arguably political) culture among those who decide who shall be banked or debanked to not service their industry. In other words, crypto isn't being debanked because people morally disagree with them per se, but because crypto is simply extremely risky

tl;dr of the tl;dr: the article is primarily about systems around debanking and only secondarily about whether or not crypto is being debanked (conclusion: it is and it's not necessarily for political reasons)

Well, it fixed a perceived wrong.
Oftentimes injustice is what actually hurts.

I do believe, though, that there is a vast spectrum of behaviours in between non violent inaction and an isolated random killing, that make a lot more sense in every way and that is called politics.

Maybe just learn to pronounce it with a very strong Australian accent. If you're missing the point, the first syllable rhymes with punt.
It is a solved problem. Here is a solution that requires something of the order of 1,000,000th of the resources of your proposed idea, no subscription, and runs so fast that you would not even notice it on a machine from 20 years ago:

text/html; lynx -width 72 -assume_charset=%{charset} -display_charset=utf-8 -dump %s | sed 's|^ ||'; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

If you want something more modern:

> he just behaved the worst he's ever behaved in daycare today

I'm sorry, maybe it's not my place, but... Please listen to him. Children are not stupid, they just lack experience. If he behaves some way then there is a reason for it. The usual suspect is lack of attention (which is very important for a child), since they get more of it (even if in form of punishment) for behaving "badly"... The outcome is predictable.

I found that treating them as adults when it comes to respecting their wishes goes a long way towards raising a good person.

Again, sorry for an unsolicited advice from a random person on the internet. Especially as it sounds like life is very stressful for you right now. Fingers crossed everything gets better soon.
A defining sentence at the top of the page, something like “Tree Calculus is a [noun phrase] for [summary of purpose],” would be helpful. Wikipedia articles typically begin with such sentences:

“Lambda calculus (also written as λ-calculus) is a formal system in mathematical logic for expressing computation based on function abstraction and application using variable binding and substitution.”

“In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.”

“The felicific calculus is an algorithm formulated by utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) for calculating the degree or amount of pleasure that a specific action is likely to induce.”
I feel like I've ripped off the bandaid for a few weeks now and I'm left with a 'now what?' feeling. I'm stuck trying to think of ways we can bring the temperature down and bring us back to being a civil society.
There's some kind of problem with the presentation which is causing people not to engage with it. It's no more complex a concept than, say, Lisp; everyone here has learned more complex programming topics than this. But people are not really processing the information presented, eg, there's confusion about whether or not a page with code examples is describing a programming language.

I think the presentation is effective but intimidating? There's something about it that causes people to tune out? But if you actually pay it some attention, it's pretty clear. I'm a bit baffled, the presentation looks good to me, and I know these commenters aren't dumb, so I just don't understand what went wrong here.
Usually it's phrased differently but it's on the form.
> Using USD as their currency though does mean there is no possibility of them being invoiced in their own national currency even in cases where it might make sense

Plenty of countries use the dollar alongside their national currency, formally and informally [1]. Plenty use it without making it legal tender.

Musicians are more likely to stick around these days because you can get a small piece of the pie instead of just immediately dying off if no label or radio station will pick you up.

The underground is dying though due to a plethora of other forms of entertainment. Shows were a great spot to get some social interaction, but people just don't go out as much anymore and are more likely to do discord and videogames instead of hitting up a basement, bar, cafe, or warehouse.
OLED cannot make my eyes red and burning even after 24 hours of looking at the screen. We need something better to emulate CRTs properly.
Bitcoin can not be a replacement for any currency. It has many problems. One big one is the inability to issue new coins when everyone panics and decides to hold it. When no one spends money, economies collapse and things go from bad to worse very quickly. We need a way to issue emergency currency to get things moving again.

Money is so ingrained into people's lives that they think it has true value. The fact is that it represents people's work and efforts. The funny part is that without it no one works together. We need a currency that lets us better work together. A currency with a fixed amount will increase the competition to get it therefore increasing disparities. Another funny thing about people is that we dislike to share so those who have will be less likely to share since they know that it's going to be so much harder to get it back. It can't work to make a better world.

Bitcoin is the start but we'll see a better coin with better properties that will make it a true replacement for the Dollar in the future.

For now, its role is and will continue to develop as a digital replacement for gold as a store of value.
TDD often doesn’t work for greenfield development because you have no idea how the software will be designed and structured until after you’ve done substantial implementation to prove out the viability of the software architecture and how implementation details interact. Major aspects of software architecture may need to be redesigned and reimplemented multiple times in order to better optimize the tradeoffs that manifest. By definition, greenfield development doesn’t lend itself to trivial analysis upfront, particularly for non-trivial systems.

Tests don’t help you design software, they help verify properties of the implementation. For non-trivial greenfield systems, the full set of properties (which is a very high dimensionality tradeoff space) and their expression in the implementation isn’t really knowable ahead of time.
Can you elaborate on your hypothetical doomsday scenario here?
>Nobody goes into business to lose money. Shareholders would be pissed!

Uh...yes they do? I mean, look at all the VC startups these days like Uber/Doordash/Rivian/WeWork/Carvana/etc. Some of those have been bleeding hundreds of millions per quarter for years and keep getting more pumped in over and over.

But even when it's not for insane VC reasons, companies burn money to get market share all the time. It's a textbook strategy. They just don't do it forever. Eventually, the shareholders can get impatient and decide to bail on the idea.

Any fad historians here? I got into the game late, but my impression is that TDD peaked when untyped interpreted languages like Ruby and JS were en vogue.

A lot of the maintenance/brownfield benefits the author cites can also come from the compiler itself if your language has branded types, ADTs, non-empty collections, and whatever else. I feel like you shouldn't bother testing what you can already prove.

None of this is esoteric. It can be spun up in TS, but mass culture is lagging behind technology.
The judge, prosecution and defense get to vet each juror by asking them about their beliefs and biases. They can reject jurors if they believe the juror is unable to hear a case without being impartial. Jurors (often) won't be told the details of the case they'll be hearing while they're being vetted, only the basic details (e.g. defendant is a white male accused of murdering another white male).

In extremely high profile cases like the ones featuring Donald Trump, courts focus on selecting jurors who can remain fair and impartial despite their knowledge of the case or their own personal opinions. They'll go through extensive vetting which can include written questionnaires, interviews, oral questioning about their media consumption, their political beliefs and potential biases, and so on.
Ugh, very annoying limitation. I've written scripts to create dummy tables, restore backups and sync across to existing tables twice now.
What dumb litigation minefield did IA do to itself this time? (The other obvious recent example being the illegal book lending.)
> If you have finite storage, you need to do something.

Sure.

> A very simple rule is to just drop everything older than a threshold.

Yep, makes sense.

> (Or another simple rule: you keep x GiB of information, and drop the oldest logs until you fit into that size limit.)

Same thing, it seems like.

> A slightly more complicated rules is: drop your logs with increasing probability as they age.

This doesn't really make sense to me. Logs aren't probabilistic. If something happened on 2024-11-01T12:01:01Z, and I have logs for that timestamp, then I should be able to see that thing which happened at that time.

> Sampling metrics also loses information.

I mean, literally not, right? Metrics are explicitly the pillar of observability which can aggregate over time without loss of information. You never need to sample metric data. You just aggregate at whatever layers exist in your system. You can roll-up metric data from whatever input granularity D1 to whatever output granularity e.g. 10·D1, and that "loses" information in some sense, I guess, but the information isn't really lost, it's just made more coarse, or less specific. It's not in any way the same as sampling of e.g. log data, which literally deletes information. Right?
“Detective” work is carrying a lot here which is really just comparing clothing, pictures, following the journey etc. all made possible from the surveillance resources and not their work. And after all that they didn’t even have him as a suspect lol.
Stream fusion is a fancier version of the concept of loop fusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_fission_and_fusion

At a high level and skipping details, suppose you want to do something like this:

(filter predicate (map f sequence))

Naively, this is two linear passes over the data. Fusion would allow you to combine these into one single linear pass.

This has particular uses when there are intermediate, temporary allocations that can be eliminated, it's not just about time performance.

> Come on frontend people, just stop. Please, just... stop.

I suspect this is part of why you're getting downvoted. This site seems to be a bit of a gag in its presentation. It's over-the-top on purpose.
I thought about Apple buying Intel but that was impossible from an asset light perspective. But now this raise an interesting question.

Could Apple control Intel enough to its own advantage? Effectively making Apple as Intel Foundry's largest customer. While Apple getting a seats on its board. Apple currently ship ~330M devices per year. That is 330M SoC, WiFi Bluetooth and 280M Modem, or roughly 1B chip per year. They also order a lot of CPU for their Datacenter. Apple also have the most important card that is cash. Apple has more cash than they know what to do with it. And giving Intel access of cheap ( not free ) access of capital would help them with their foundry ambitious which is capital intensive.

It also help US to build its foundry and technology capability in house.

This is a big bet but could potentially play out the same way as TSMC over taking Intel as leading Edge. Without Apple TSMC will need to find customer who is willing to pay up front on Capital intensive leading node R&D. And without Apple Qualcomm, Nvidia, Mediatek would have to pay for that. Ultimately leading to more expensive SoC for Android, which happens to be a market without a lot of room for margin.

But Tim Cook isn't the type of person to place huge bet. And that is on the assumption Johny could fix Intel. Unless the shareholder vote in majority to allow certain flavours to Apple such as buying a large percentage of shares along with many board seats. I know not sure the stupidity of Wall Street is willing to entertain the idea since they only want Intel for its dividends.
Bug resolution time is not the only metric of value in software development.
I'm beginning to write off most images as AI. I actually think that's where this is all headed.
Yes, my point is that right-wing talking heads are trying to make this into a "right vs left" issue, and they are getting destroyed for that characterization by their right-wing fan base. When you say "I can't determine who is downvoting/commenting on the video", that's specifically why I added the Walsh's video of the Daniel Perry case. Or heck, look at any of his videos, which normally always upvote his main ideas and tilt heavily right. If you think it's just a left-wing brigade flooding his comments, why don't you think they'd do the same on any of his Daniel Perry videos?
What ended up happening w/ that whole "downsizing/firing the Tesla supercharger team" episode a year ago or so?
The frequency is so high, and I am getting so burned out on checking comments to gauge how much everything is changing, that I've nearly given up subconsciously. Pretty close to just ignoring all images I see.
Agreed yet he'll serve some time like Gypsy Rose. A seemingly good hearted victimized murderer who story seems to work out well for her in the end in. She orchestrated killing her mom vs. just running away. If she's smart enough to get her mom killed indirectly using a lonely dude she's smart enough to run away. Murderer who is free with fame. Luigi is now the same yet is this murderer more liked then Gypsy Rose?
If you're a shareholder you get a postcard in the mail with the time and address of public meetings.
I think only when you think this kind of calculation is actually the hotspot of your code, and you should put a lot of effort to optimize it, then you could consider to do such things.

It is not something about complexity and code size, it is about the performance optimization.

I used to optimize a C++ application with SIMD intrinsics. The most time consuming function of this app is a linear algebra algorithm. That could perfectly fit this kind of optimization.

However, writing this kind of code and debug it took me a lot of time. I would say for most of "normal" application, it is useless.
People in China who really want to connect to the common internet can already do so. It’s not extremely hard, but just enough barriers so not everyone is willing to jump through hoops. And also, locals don’t really have that much appetite for it.

That only helps for a relative small range of N. Chess happens to sort of fit into this space. Go is way out, even a sqrt(N) is still in the "galaxy-sized computer" range. So again, there are few problems for which Grover's algorithms really takes us from practically uncomputable to computable.

Even for chess, 2^76 operations is still waaaaay more time than anyone will ever wait for a computation to finish, even if we assumed quantum computers could reach the OPS of today's best classical computers.
