You're absolutely correct but this isn't a new phenomenon this has been the way politics has been for as long as anyone can remember. Especially at the federal level. I think everyone's open to ideas to fix it but the problem is those who need to fix it are the politicians who are getting the bribes from the companies.

Because it's so easy to get the electorate distracted by issues that don't really divide people but sound very divisive how do you get this really fixed? Look at both sides and the issues they scream at each other about most of them are insignificant or only matter at a local level and not a federal level. Most of them don't truly divide the people cuz most people would come to some sort of a reasonable agreement on them. Politicians stoke the flames because when you're focused on the fact that your neighbor is evil for some trivial thing that you have a different opinion on you'll never realize the real problem is the politicians taking the bribes from all of it.
I don't think that's a cynical take considering the description

I agree with you that great wealth can be used to fund meaningful research and development. Unfortunately, as we have seen, great wealth is used to distort society to reinforce their ability to hold onto wealth.
> this type of incident used to pop up on HN every month or so, and yet in the past few years they've become incredibly rare. And do you know why that is? It is not because developers got better. It's almost entirely due to the fact that development frameworks (particularly JS in browsers) have made a multi-year and systematic effort to reduce the availability of insecure default PRGs to bad developers. The result is that an entire bug class has gone from a common, monthly occurrence, to a relative rarity.

That's a fair take and worth considering.

I suspect this whole dilemma speaks to a widening divide between those who see security as the top and inviolate priority in modern software and those still seeing software as something with much more varied and heterogenous concerns. And that gap gets most contentious when it comes to what things like what should be considered default, what capabilities should be available altogether, how convenient those features should be made, what emphasis should be made in education/training/mentorship, etc.

Undoubtedly, (often sloppy) network-delivered and network-attached software has come to dominate the industry and with it the consequences of security-practice lapses have become be more severe than they once had been. But at the same time, we can watch as things like correctness, stability, resource-efficiency, performance-efficiency, maintenance/repair-ability, etc tumble away and turn much of the same software into byzantine garbage that barely runs on X-core YYY-ghz hardware with ZZ-gigabytes of RAM and faults have the time when it does.

So I think there's a real tension, but I get where you're coming from. It may in fact be true that making a seeded PRNG less easily available would be a wise favor to the security-first-and-always people. :D
>Basically, the CA grid now has a massive glut of solar generation at midday, and so they changed net metering to not pay anywhere near 1:1 on backfed power (it's a really bad ratio, but I don't remember, maybe like 1:5)

1:5 isn't "anti-solar" though, it accurately reflects the fact that power is worth significantly less at that point in time.

>it's to encourage people to install storage and do time shifting on the power they generate, to help even things out for the grid.

Yep makes sense. Someone has to bear the cost of providing power when it's expensive to do, and it makes sense to more accurately price the solar energy.
hallelujah! This is definitely one of the more common annoyances one will still run into in async rust.
Hey I'm Suraj. I realised that I was spending way to much on these short form conent that really impacted my attention span and was a brain rot to me. So I built this app to tackle them.
But the article is about basic research. Do you think that we can cut basic research just so that one rich guy can have projects?
This is actually the only place I've posted it haha. Will incorporate feedback from here (especially more candid video content) before proceeding.

I filed for a patent a couple days ago on the burr assembly, and a design patent on the wood arch thing, but definitely not looking to prevent anyone from making their own. Only to prevent some massive company from running off with it or even patenting it since I'm never going to be that high profile.
There's a whole literature of cryptographic hashes designed for this problem.
Tracing GC has much better throughput than reference counting GCs (yeah, they both are GC algorithms), especially when compared against Arc<>, which would be quite expensive if many objects were making use of it, due to the synchronization overhead. (Note: I'm not saying that Rust would be slow or anything, as you can precisely go as low-level as you wish and circumvent the price of any form of GC. But if you were to have a lot of Arc objects around, e.g. you use them to represent stuff the user can also manipulate and thus have completely opaque lifetimes, then the overhead can become non-negligible)

Tracing GCs can do most of the work completely independently of the user code, and in parallel. Also, only live objects are touched, which can be also beneficial for certain kinds of applications.
Your wife's right.
I missed it too (sorry, Matt) --- I wrote my comment in bed half awake (I have a problem) and without glasses (I'm old) I can't see for shit.
You make a good point, but what's discussed in the OP seems to be less complex than a full async runtime, e.g. it does not really depend on low-level OS features. So it seems to be the kind of thing that might become part of the standard library at some point, much like the Rust HashMap. You would still be able to avoid it altogether by just not using Gc<> objects (you "don't pay for what you don't use") so it wouldn't be a true runtime.
Selling a billion dollars of amazon via blocks etc with limited market impact? Probably doable if not super cheap.

3-400b? No way. There isn't capacity, you would cause a massive dip in prices. The timelines you would have to exit over would be very long, so disclosure also causes market reaction.

Loans work to an extent, but you get risk adjusted and eg 1bn of amazon stock is pretty low risk whilst 100bn is high risk. Concentration/size vs market cap and adv matter.

You can do it all, at a price, but it would be a lot lower than the current stock price for obvious reasons

>Sexual violence is violence, yes?

You can define sexual violence in a lot of ways, it's a pretty loose term, I know there are some people who would consider non-consensual arm touching or strong language to be sexual violence. Most people will say that sexual violence and straight up murder via guns and knives are different things though.

I'm not saying that the Amish don't have crime or any problems, but that article doesn't have data to show that the rate of sexual violence in the Amish community is higher than in secular communities or other religious communities like Hasidic Jews or Buddhists. Let's not even attempt to talk about sexual violence in the Syrian, Afgan, or Iraqi immigrant communities in Europe.

Honestly just look at real crime statistics for different communities, including the Amish, the data speaks for itself.

typeinvestigations is a partisan publication, I would not cite their investigative reporting for the same reasons I wouldn't cite Fox News. They are more likely to be motivated by racial hatred of white people than they are to actually be seeking the truth.

WRT Anti-Amish sentiment, yeah that's pretty messed up! tbh your arguments just seem to be making more of a case AGAINST multiculturalism, I'm not sure if that's your intent. This shows that even in the case of a completely nonviolent, insular community, harassment and hatred towards an out-group is inevitable. So why the heck do Swedish politicians think it's a good idea to allow a community of people with a very different culture and who DONT have a strong belief in pacifism to live in their country without integrating?

From that wikipedia article:

>Due to the Amish belief in pacifism, Amish victims of these crimes rarely retaliate.[4]

Sorta makes my point about the Amish community.

>So, what does successful integration look like to you, in the Texas context?

Comparing border towns with the rest of the state is a little unfair as people living there are very likely to be people with strong ties to Mexico (i.e. they physically go to Mexico often) and the least likely to assimilate. If Sweden shared a border with Syria then it would be a little more understandable for people living on the border to keep close ties with Syrian culture. Even just a little ways away from the border towns though Texas towns are much better integrated and similar to the rest of Texas and the US.

Texas border towns are undeniably MORE integrated than the case we're talking about in Sweden though. I was in Brownsville a few weeks ago and it's still pretty much America: everyone speaks English and it's taught in schools, the people still are pretty much American.

So to answer your question: I would expect the Syrian case to be at least more integrated than what it is, something more like a normal Texas town that's not on the border. e.g. Kingsville. High proportion of ethnically Latino people but still very much American in culture.
Yep, sometimes we are basically techpriests. Apply the sacred unguents and pray that the machine spirit calms down, cause that's all you can do.
No, there's really no space for wriggling here. You use getrandom() or, in the worst case, /dev/urandom, and this kernel nit goes away. It was never the case that the LRNG was "exhaustible"; there was only a broken interface to it.
too bad that with this having been knocked down in the early 90's, there won't be any 3D scan of the thing...
That's simply not how the system works. For the most part, medical insurers no longer provide much real "insurance" in the sense of bearing risk. Instead they mostly act as administrators for employer self-funded health plans. Since insurers are subject to an 85% minimum medical loss ratio, every paid claim is actually a gain because they get to take up to 15% from a larger revenue stream. The majority of the pressure to tighten coverage rules actually comes from those large employers since they're the ones ultimately paying the bills.

If anyone wants to see real reform then eliminating employer sponsored health plans is one potential way to get the incentives more properly aligned.
Show HN: JOBifAI, an LLM+Flux Augmented Visual Novel
Hello hn,

I wanted to make a Proof of Concept to show what truly original gameplay mechanics could be brought in by genAI.
There are 2 in this game:

- argument based language interactions: it's not a choice-based Visual Novel. To progress you need to convince NPCs.

- natural language input: the LLM understands what happens and describe the result. This is, I believe the original vision of Interactive Fiction

- image-decyphering abilities: to argue, you need to understand what we're talking about, and most of the clues are hidden in the generated images

Most of the AI applications tend to be "human-made but worse" or "procedural generation but worse", which lead to the "AI slop" perception.
In this game, some people that would generally be adverse to AI (because it displaces artists) found it fun, as it embraces its issues and the surrounding debate.

The backend is AWS lambda + Replicate + Groq so it should withstand an hn hug of death.

I'll put the whole project on Github soon btw.

It's really short (less than 20 minutes) so I hope you'll try it (and have fun!).
Oh wow, i thought you were describing me for a moment there!

"KRNG" => kernel random number generator.

"LRNG" => (idiosyncratic) shorthand for "Linux's KRNG".

The LRNG never had the problem you're alluding to. It's not as if the literature eventually found "inexhaustible" designs. They were never exhaustible. There is no such danger. You can get to this axiomatically by looking at how a CSPRNG works (again: it's effectively a stream cipher construction), or empirically by reading about it. Either way: no, you're wrong here.

Hmm. IANALL but aren't types orthogonal to allocation?
Fake confidence is miles away from a real one. A keen eye can see the difference immediately.

It doesn't mean even fake one can't make a difference, depends on 'target', it maturity, intelligence etc. But if you expect a lot from the opposite side, you need to deliver at least as much, the more the better.

Agree with appearance, its a bit silly game but it works so who am I to question it.
Musk aside, I think there is huge value in knowing how to sustain human life indefinitely without the earth. In fact, I think its inevitable that humans will need to leave earth at some point in our future.

It may simply be as a result of population and overcrowding, it may be to flee war and persecution. I think there is a small chance we have already made changes to our atmosphere that make life here incompatible with humans.

Its possible that within just a few hundred years, humans need to live entirely within climate controlled environments. If I had Musk level money I would be working on this now.
My point was there's the capability to do all this backup preservation but it doesn't just happen. And it's less visible in many cases than the proverbial shoebox full of photos will be.

It's complicated. The answer is that nobody knows.

The US policy is "strategic ambiguity". It's enough to let us talk out of both sides of our mouth, making unofficial and non-binding promises privately to the Taiwanese government, while not quite making ourselves explicitly China's enemy.

It's exactly the same kind of ambiguity that China is practicing right now. It's just a military exercise... unless it isn't.

(It's not quite the same as Russia's "military exercise" near Ukraine. China has been doing this a long time, so it has some credibility. Russia's invasion preparations never had credibility.)

So China and the US keep needling each other over Taiwan. It's the kind of "I'm not touching you" BS you get from children, and like with children, it looks like it's guaranteed to proceed from not-touching to punching in a very short but utterly random period of time.

Is it today? Who knows? Stay tuned!
I like the idea, but it seems like such a cliche how poorly represented native peoples are in this project. If you're a historian and cartographer is there a more obvious failure that everyone knows about?

The mistake was that thinking the limited Indy hardware was supposed to run a real operating system. IRIX was a real operating system and to run it, you gave it max hardware. To do otherwise would be to put a single stroke lawnmower engine into a porsche 959.

I wonder if those that're trained to primarily communicate online are trained to do so adversarially in order trigger people. Triggering people is the most effective way to keep talking to someone.

I would specify grandparent's claim a bit more - certain kind of code, frequently used in ML style without a GC is hard/impossible.

E.g. heavily recursive data structures may not be a best fit (also not the best fit for the CPU).

Rust has definitely grown out its own style, which is more of a "strongly typed FP with local-scoped imperative parts", elegantly combining ML's strengths with C/C++-style performant patterns.
Sounds like they didn't even have perfect records of what software was deployed while they were trying to resuscitate the spacecraft? Because software deployed over the years to the same limited memory overwrote previous versions of software. Eventually they managed to get that memory dump (from a fail-safe and/or plain luck) which probably gave them a clearer picture of what they were dealing with.

This is very cool. I did my PhD in tidal interactions, but in the context of stars and giant planets - bodies that can typically be treated as having spheroidal symmetry. (In fact, one thing I was looking at was the corrections as you moved away from as assumption of spherical symmetry to include the equatorial bulge.)

The Earth's tides are far more complex because of the shape of the ocean basins, and it has quite a high dissipation rate. I'm not sure how much the internal tide contributes to that, but I suspect a lot given that the amplitude (tens of meters) is much greater than the surface displacement.

Anyway, gorgeous visualisation!
