Facts that are included in a story or left out at the journalist's discretion have the power to create very different impressions on people.

For example, in your story, if Main Street is known to house many brothels or abortion clinics, merely mentioning it in the story may have the effect of hardening public opinion towards the victim. If the story were to mention the make and model of the car, and there had been many crashes with that model recently, it might stir up suspicion about that car manufacturer. Almost any detail can be charged in this way.

All good journalists strive to be as objective as possible, part of which means being aware of these kinds of charges, and balancing them against delivering detailed information.
Community leaders I feel like leads to having meetups conform to one personality.

Having been at UofI in the 80’s PLATO was still in use. I despised it for the computer based learning for Physics 107, loved it for Empire and thankful that I never got good enough at it that it became a problem.
Just in case this isn’t sarcasm, you may be interested to know they’re made by the same person.

> I think the thing that hurts a lot of folks is the one thing they wanted to do with Redis is use a managed version of it in AWS. And now they can't.

Hum, I have not considered this aspect before - I mean I've realized that AWS probably cannot use Redis [until they pay back], but that users (customers) would be affected...likely I'm biased here cuz not using managed services of that sort, sat having Redis + Sentinel setup of our own.
Back when I used to play with roms in the Android world being able to back things up was neat… but also took a ton of space and was crazy cumbersome.

I kinda prefer iCloud style backups.
I'll sleep easier tonight after reading this! I know other people know what you say there, but at times reading HN one would suspect that it's not that commonly known around these parts.

Maybe public figures were "saying what they meant" in, I don't know, the mid-1800s. People who grew up with "modern" communications and media infrastructure (smartphones, brain rot, streaming garbage 24/7, ads everywhere, etc) do not have the capacity to act in a non-mediatic fashion in public space anymore.

So that's the reality, I think. Not only is Sam Altman "fake" in public, so is everyone else (more or less), including you and I.

Nonetheless, it's a national sport at least in massive chunks of the English-speaking world now to endlessly speculate about the real intentions of these pharaonic figures. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: what a very peculiar timeline.
Could this "reality search" stuff be parallelized?

Could reaction permutation and property testing occur in a more automated fashion than is currently?
If you think of it as a bra burning arc, you won't get the historical context.

The most jarring for me was some of the childhood scenes.
So? Are you worried that baby is going to go out and try to score baby heroin? You have to point to some actual negative outcome beyond "the drugs we gave were present".

Why don't mothers with the most children use painkillers?

Having children fundamentally alters your body, making future births easier, generally. The people with the most children tend to be poorerto, and might not be able to afford painkillers. The people with the most children might be religious families who treat women as machines for producing children. Maybe about a million hypotheses.

But we should be studying it! You are right about that. Our health care system under studies the experiences of women.
Also, as per the page:

> Intel used the Pentium name instead of 586, because in 1991, it had lost a trademark dispute over the "386" trademark, when a judge ruled that the number was generic.
They all do basically the same thing.
> The company you're whistle blowing against and their major shareholders should know this exists.

They'll just get out the $5 wrench then
You’re missing the fact that Intel wanted to differentiate itself from the growing IA-32 clone chips from AMD and Cyrix. 586 couldn’t be trademarked, but Pentium could.
So back in the 1990s, online I talked with someone who worked in the GPS constellation. He said that they wanted multiple passes of a Navstar over their tracking locations to correct the orbital parameters after every orbital burn. Since they were in MEO, drag was a smaller deal, so burns were infrequent. In LEO drag was so much larger that regular burns are necessary. However, on reflection I don't know the precision of the Hall Effect thrusters that the Starlink satellites are using. If they are precise enough in their thrust application then the only thing you'd need to observe would be the effects of exoatmosphere drag, which are still a big deal. Steve's operational experience was only with chemical thrusters, electricals were still bleeding edge in the 1990s.

Basically, because of drag MEO will always be >>> than LEO for navigation purposes. That's why all the dedicated navsats are there! It is possibly to piggy-back and get a large enough scale to compensate for the loss of accuracy. Eyeballing satellitemap.space for my location (roughly 35N), it looks like you'd get a zenith every minute or two from Starlink. Again, fine for stationary, not sure about moving, given the need for multiple zeniths to correct uncertainty.

As for the laser link SpaceX is very tight-lipped about that as far as I can tell, and that is one where the precision is all going to be measured operationally. Something like LAGEOS shows that it is possible to do things incredibly precisely with light, but the question is, does Starlink have the mass, energy, and compute budget to actually do it in practice.
Maybe boot a Linux USB drive and use dd to copy the drive? I assume this is too easy, but I'm curious about where it fails.
That is why many people complain about not really owning the device. And some others defend not owning the device because - cool reasons; and if someone owns his own device that breaks the magic for everyone involved, somehow /s

They aren't facing prison for this, they are facing prison for trying to cover this up. That's a subtle but important difference.
That is a private company making a decision about their work environment.

You don't have the right to demand that they cater to your requirements.
The rich and powerful are pretty famous for not saving the consequences of their actions, I'm not sure what you are implying....
Memory would indeed be an issue for mixing MPA and SPA, but besides not being an issue for a full SPA it also wouldn't be an issue for sites that are all MPA except AJAX submissions that don't cause a SPA page change. Currently I think an all MPA would waste the localStorage space.

SessionStorage by default with prominent placement in the docs would be better I think. It would automatically clean up the data from visitors' disk space at appropriate times, whereas the localStorage setting puts it in a place that gets persisted for quite some time.

Thanks for those links, I've read them but it's good for others here to see them.
Apple’s built-in backup solution is called Time
Machine. It was dogshit when it launched a decade ago, never got more reliable despite many OS releases, and is still largely dogshit.

The author of the blog makes an application that is very good at making backups on macOS and now their app is broken due to skullduggery by Apple.

So the issue is threefold: a) Apple further turning MascOS into iPhone, b) this harms competition, and c) users ultimately suffer because Apple has no incentive to get better.
Police now say it's been ruled a suicide:

Not only are SAAS products just database wrappers, but many other products also enhance the capabilities of Postgres and MySQL through the use of a third-party product, such as leveraging DuckDB's analytical capabilities on PostgreSQL. Whether these two different databases can achieve seamless integration remains to be observed.

If you or I killed a half a million people, we wouldn't be facing 20 years in prison. We'd be lucky to not be facing a firing squad or a noose.

All I ask is that the leadership of McKinsey be treated to that same standard. Let their golden parachutes be literal.

My right to flag comments was previously unfairly taken away from me. Maybe if I still had this right, I would've just flagged and moved on, but I didn't have this right. I don't even know why it was taken away.
Everything is in the source code. I highly doubt any of the good hash functions listed in smhasher3 (ie all tests passed) would collide over identifiers.

So they should all have zero collisions, meaning there’s no ‘least’ among the good quality ones - they’re all equally collissionless (they differ in other tests).

Sounds like an interesting project. What’s its purpose?
Agree, but OTOH, how much impact would some beardy old man schoolteacher telling them not to enjoy these feel-good things really have?

(Maybe quite a lot. I really don't know.)
Its complex cause you cant really find one person to blame. What no one really says is we are struggling with complexity overload. And what complicates it is all the people's wealth and status accumulation falsely signals control. When they really have less and less control the more complex the system gets.

When you look at pentagon leaders and afg/iraq or Wall St CEOs and 2008 gfc or the Pope and the peado army or linux kernel maintainers and serious security bugs found everyday the commonality is Complexity.

No one is fit the more complex things gets. So even though we get Tahrir Square once in a while, decade later we still have Generals in charge.

Scaling has become easy but scaling without unintended costs and consequences the past few decades have shown is complex.

> A slap on the wrist. After a half million Americans have died from a crisis they helped kickstart, they should be facing criminal charges and jail time.

I keep reading people who say, over and over again, that the war on drugs is a failure and that it's a mistake to try criminally prosecute suppliers and send them to prison. People will always find a way to get the drugs if they want them, we're told.

But then I see the same people turn around that McKinsey is responsible for millions of deaths from the opioid crisis, and the execs involved should be held criminally responsible.

It's hard to reconcile the calls for criminal prosecution against McKinsey execs with the argument that drugs should be legalized and that we shouldn't go after other suppliers of drugs.
Right, the ones who profit are just setting up the rules, policies, and incentive structures that those people work under.

If you're running at 10Gbps and you don't spare the memory to buffer a single packet, that's desire not need.

Your expertise does not make you automatically right about every tradeoff.

Also why does on-the-fly editing for PTP packets in particular require your buffer to be bigger than a PTP packet? Aren't those small?
You can. Most Linux users can't -- I say 90%, if not 99%. Most Linux users are just users, many of which don't know how to use tar or xargs without looking it up, very few have the technical knowledge and capability of figuring out "what broke it".

Why crossover SUVs are now greener than sedans
> make things overly complicated

Some people say that Systemd units are complicated or even Nginx configs are complicated or ... . Probably for those who do "Guile Scheme" everyday, it's easy peasy.

From my own experience, AFAIR, Django (python based web framework) tend to have settings defined in Python code, not in some sort of INI files/Config DSL or OpenProject heavily relies on Ruby code for configs - from my perspective [as operations guy] this requires extra work on unparsing those "beatiful" things like lambdas or whatever is cool new stuff people can put in such "configs". But for developers of Django/OpenProject - it's their daily stuff and not a problem at all.

So I'd say - depends on product's target audience.
But either way freezin' cool!

I'm not sure most people are against going after the suppliers, even if they support decriminalization. Decriminalization should mean that users are not prosecuted for simply using drugs, but those participating in the manufacture and distribution are still held responsible.

If the information is going to be released in full though, and I'm a murderous executive, then why not kill you immediately?

(1) How do you prove you have a deadman switch? How do you prove it functions correctly?

(2) How do you prove it contains any more material then you've already shown you have?

(3) Since you're going to testify anyway, what's the benefit in leaving you alive when your story can discredited after the fact, and apparently it is trivially easy to get away with an untraceable murder?

which leads to (4): if the point is to "send a message" then killing you later is kind of pointless. Let the deadman switch trigger and send a message to everyone else - it won't save you.

People concoct scenarios where they're like "oh but I'll record a tape saying 'I didn't kill myself'" as though thats a unique thing and not something every deranged person does anyway, including Australia's racist politician (who's very much still alive, being awful).

The world doesn't work like a TV storyline, but good news for you the only reason everyone's like "are they killing whistleblowers?" is because you're all bored and want to feel clever on the internet (while handily pushing the much more useful narrative: through no specific actions, don't become a whistleblower because there's an untraceable, unprovable service which has definitely killed every dead whistleblower you heard of. Please ignore all the alive ones who kind of had their lives ruined by the process but didn't die and are thus boring to talk about).

> Schwarzschild radius

Does this image help to confirm or reject the Shwarzschild radius, or whether black holes have hair or turbulence at the boundary we've been calling the event horizon though Hawking radiation permeates through all such boundaries in at least some directions?

> which may be due to a Doppler boost from the rapid rotation of the accretion disc.

How much does the thermal energy vary within the (already physically distributed) matter surrounding the black hole?

Isn't there reason to believe that things are in a different phase of matter at those darker temperatures ? Are there superfluid states at those thermal ranges? Are our phase transition diagrams complete? Standard phase transition diagrams do not describe the Mpemba effect, for example. TODOcite. Does fusion plasma research have insight into the phases of matter at higher temperatures? What are the temperatures around the disturbance?

Does M87a show a similar Doppler effect as this analysis suggests affects the 2017 EHT Sgr A* image?

I would love to see _anyone_ release a minimal MR headset with the form factor/weight around that of the big screen beyond, a resolution equivalent to looking at a 1440p monitor and no onboard mobile hardware/battery.

WIRED data & video via USB-C. No compression. Latency equivalent to a desktop monitor with DisplayPort/HDMI, good colours and a high refresh rate.

If I want standalone VR; I would like to be able to plug my headset into my phone via USB-C and Android XR pops up. After all, what's the point of putting a phone in my headset when I already have a flagship phone with the same specs?

If I want to do productivity work; I would like to be able to plug my headset into my laptop/desktop and the OS displays a minimal/familiar virtual space to do stuff in (unlike WMR home) that lets me arrange several virtual monitors around me - or better yet, no monitors, just floating windows themselves.

Having tried to use the Q3 for productivity, I can see that we actually have the technology for this but headset vendors cram hardware we don't need into these devices making them impractical for anything other than 45 minutes of VR gaming.

Give me a headset I can wear for 8+ hours a day that replaces my multi-monitor workstation and I can pack in my laptop bag.

Suchir's Essay on Fair Use
Legalization was popular for weed because weed is relatively benign but decriminalization is what's needed for harder drugs.

People get these mixed up and use them interchangeably but they're very different. There will (and should) never be heroin shops that look like Apple stores like there are for weed.

Decrim can be for production, distribution and possession but people generally use it to mean possession. That means that possession of amounts for personal use are not a criminal matter, which makes sense if we see it as an addiction that needs to be treated. In that scenario, production and distribution can be (and often are) illegal.

There are other nuances in how to handle decriminalization in terms of social services offered and how to disrupt demand.
The word "overdose" has to be the best PR campaign of all time. it is an addictive poison.

Reflectively Loading ELFs, may we never touch Disk
I recently pushed an update to Sickle that generates shellcode to perform reflective ELF loading.

If you're unfamiliar with what exactly this is, to give you a quick high-level overview; an attacker uses these techniques to map an executable filetype (EXE, ELF) into memory and execute it. When done correctly this prevents the malware from ever touching disk!

If you want to see a demo run of it launching a “Hello World” application, I uploaded a video on X.

I don't really agree with your characterisation of ROI.

Every potential decision outcome has a ROI (which we mostly don't know in advance, though we can often guess). The investments for which we need governments are those that won't ever work in the private sector due to misaligned incentives (no company will pay out of its own pocket to educate young children, not because there's no ROI overall but because it's much too diffuse -- the ROI for that company is extremely low).

People can disagree about whether government should also make some investments that would also be made by self-interested people/companies.
