Here's my list - it ended up being a lot of history this year:

Wisdom’s Workshop (2016) by James Axtell is a history of the American research university from Medieval times to the present.

The Principles of Science (1874) by William Stanley Jevons (of economics fame) is a wide-ranging treatment of logic and philosophy of science that’s bursting with ideas.

Ballyhoo! (2024) by Jon Langmead is a history of professional wrestling and combat sports from its outlaw roots in the late nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century.

A Discourse on Political Economy (1824) by John Ramsay McCulloch is the first history of economic thought from the era of the classical economists.

Going from 5.2 to 6.1 is a 17% increase, which isn't insignificant.
Pipelining requires inserting extra (costly) flip-flops and intuitively one might think that this would decrease the performance. It is not that easy.
To get the worst of both worlds
How does it handle serial to TCP connection? I'm using DOSBox now, you can configure a serial port to turn into a TCP connection.
All? I’d be shocked if 5 percent of mortgage originations in the US are ARMs.
Would these stewards of the land commit suicide if, holistically, humans were bad for the land?

They might try to root out an invasive creature, or a disease causing bacteria, but would they root out themselves?
> This still won't prevent yoinking the entire RAM modules and dumping them offline.

Theoretically no, but realistically I doubt even intel agencies can pull this off.

> Ideally, the keys should just remain inside the SRAM cache on the CPU, never even going outside of the CPU die.

The real solution is putting the keys somewhere with a guarantee they will be gone prior to possibly executing untrusted code. In my mind the only real solution is UEFI APIs to support this (or wiping the ram as shown here). But then you have to trust the UEFI vendors which don't exactly have stellar track records.
These are two distinct questions. Are Obelisks part of the self? If you think of the "host" as being made up by it's DNA, then these are not part of that set, since they are not found in DNA copies. Or is an organism it's RNA? If it's the RNA that's the organism, then sure you could say this is part of that organism in that it exist as organelles of sorts, like mitochondria or chloroplasts (but in RNA form).

The second question is if it's parasitic, mutualistic, or neutral. If it's a parasite it should cause a fitness defect to the DNA organism's replication. As of yet I haven't seen evidence of this at the cellular level. But there is a strong argument that by depleting cells of nucleic acids (RNA) would have to be at least minimally parasitic. That is of course unless they confer some advantage to the cells with Obelisks. In which case, why don't all microbial cells have Obelisks. Importantly, the relationships between all the various Obelisks at least for now, is not lining up with microbial genome evolution. This would mean they are jumping from genome to genome.

Now you're in a late night pub discussion about where we should be drawing the boundaries of life.
“Free market” means freedom to exploit resources without government oversight. It’s not in any way related to fairer labor regulations (those are usually undesirable for free market absolutists, by definition)
1. The title still isn't wrong.
2. What does 1% mean in context?
This is a staggering and amazing finding.
Plastic bags make sense when people are carrying all their groceries on foot from the store to their homes. If the same people had to put their groceries in a car to be jostled about, I bet they wouldn't like their liquids in bags that can leak and leave a mess in their expensive cars.

I think a lot of people like glass, but I haven't seen a recycler want it in a long time. So is it more responsible to buy glass that you know is going in the trash, or plastic that might be recycled? It's not obvious.
Looking at the velocity of how we got to this level is absolutely noteworthy
Don't know. They're undetected =-)
Exactly. The earth was doing just fine for the incredible spans of time before humans took over the role of managing it.
"If the person who runs your server turns out to be imperfect in a way that you can’t endure, you can find another server, spend five minutes moving your account over, and you’re back up and running on the new server"

He's completely wrong about how easy it is to move a Mastodon account to another server.

First, your instance admins can completely wipe your account before you even have a chance to move.

Second, you can't move an account, you create a new one on another server which produces a new handle. You can move followers over using some clunky process few users would understand. It can take up to 30 days to process and may require multiple tries. In case any blockage happens between your old and new server, it gets even trickier.

Worse, your content cannot be migrated. It is forever stuck at the old server and at the whims of whoever runs it. Same for the redirect from your old account to your new account.

If the point is to have a robust network where your account, content and followers/followings are safe...Mastodon is the worst.
So what? It's not like common law has less effect. "Body of law" is understood by lawyers to include both common and statutory law.
We should have compassion for everyone, albeit it's pretty difficult for genuinely horrible people. However, compassion doesn't mean giving them everything they want without conditions. That's enablement, and isn't compassionate at all.
Not EU specifically, but I support other international regions and work with teams supporting the EU. I'm not in big tech, but a different sector for a large company.

I can say that delays can and do happen because of regulation. This could be extra work for privacy regulations, or for accessibility standards, etc. Even just the fact that you need legal review in multiple languages can add delays. The more regulations you have and the diversity of regulations among the numerous locations you support, the more resources you need (time and/or personnel).

Most of the regulations are there for good reason. In my opinion, it's the differences between each supported region that causes the most problems. In some cases things like the EU help standardize the regs vs having 20 different definitions of them.
Certainly not every station, at least not then. And the trick would be reaching someone who can authorise something useful.
This is an interesting concept, and I mean no offense, but is this just essentially a public journal/demo concept for a low data web page? I’m having a hard time imagining folks will spend any time saving/ intentionally re-visiting such a site, except for e.g. posting on here for curious folks to browse through.
I worked for AWS for 3.5 years. Their only culture is to treat all employees like shit, a PIP culture and one that they know they can continue being tech’s worst employer (despite the newest Leadership Principle) because all of the H1B visa holders will do damn near anything to keep their jobs.

This isn’t an H1B Visa holder rant. It’s an indictment to the program that keeps them beholden to a company.
The OP addresses it to some degree, but how does this fit with the fundamental classes of phylogeny?

My poor understanding has been that there are cellular organisms / 'biota' (if those are the right terms - prokaryotes, eukaryotes, etc.) and viruses. Where do obelisks, Virus-Viroid Hybrids, Zeta-Elements, Ambiviruses all fit in that scheme, if they do at all? Or is there a new scheme?

And it is very cool for you to answer questions here. Remember us if you visit Sweden someday! :)
Where is the ARM mortgage data?

Yes, and I concur.
To run multiple agents in TypeScript, you're typically reaching for a package like 'pm2'. This starts a Node.js process for each Agent, then you need another tool like Redis for them to communicate.

Adding Docker adds even more weight.

You could run multiple agents in a single Node.js process, but you'll eventually face event-loop conflicts.

With Elixir and BEAM, you already have the tools to run agents as a lightweight Erlang process. You also have built-in PubSub for inter-agent communication (via a package).

This provides the ability for safely running 1000's of agents in a single BEAM Node. This is much more robust and efficient then Node.js and TypeScript.
Not only that, but the headline is a non-inflation adjusted value! We're still well below the peak of 2010!

We might be on the cusp of a collapse, but the media (and HN commentators!) continue to predict 3465 out of the last 2 recessions.
LLMs are the worst thing to happen to the Internet. What a goddamn blunder for humanity.
While I am aware of bitlocker in general, I don't have a full grasp of it. Just how secure is it from a software of hardware attack?

It was my understanding that veracrypt was considered more tested than bitlocker due to the lack of backdoors or workarounds. Can anoyone point me at some good resources regarding this?
"She told me she knows that her belongings are an “eyesore,” so she tries to keep them out of the way."

If only all homeless people were like this. As someone who lives in an epicenter of this stuff, I don't think that encampments / people living in tents on the street are inherently a problem - its the small number of homeless people who aggressively spread trash and human waste everywhere that are making the neighborhood unlivable for everyone. Probably these people are dealing with mental health crises, maybe they are just dicks, but either way we have to get them off the street and I'm pretty sure the only way for that to happen is through oppressive policies.
This is exactly what I was mentioning. Despite being a TCG spec, it's implemented in firmware and has no hard requirement on a TPM at all.
I'd consider myself a WoT megafan. I've read the full series more than 10 times since AMoL, and did a re-read of the series before every book release when it was being written. I'm in the middle of a re-read right now, even - I just finished a chapter from A Crown of Swords right before opening HN and reading this article.

And... I think the WoT adaption is fine. It's not exactly how I would have done it, and there are a few choices that I think are just bad, but on the whole I have enjoyed the show and think it captures most of the primary elements of the series.

It's a 14.5 book series where the books average 600+ pages. Any adaptation is going to have to make massive changes, at least if they're filming it with real people. They also got dealt a raw hand with covid resulting in all sorts of set limitations and Mat's actor just... not returning after they filmed the first 6 episodes.
I don’t think the principal market actually cares about that.
> This is logic of post-2008 fail-capitalism instead of 1970’s and China’s aspirational, problem solving capitalism.

No, this is reality. It does not matter if you're working under capitalism, socialism, communism, mercantilism, or some as yet unknown system since economics is the “study of the allocation of scarce resources which have alternative uses.” You cannot deny resource scarcity anymore than you can deny natural selection or gravity. To do so leads to a lot of tragic consequences.

> You don’t address shortages of healthcare, housing or food with an elegant and fair system to decide who starves and dies.

Food is an excellent example to use. In order to guarantee that no one goes hungry, or is well fed, or whatever metric you want to use how much food should be produced? Please find a way for this seemingly simple solution to not devolve into rationing by some mechanism.

> You expand supply to make sure no one has to. You examine supply chain and figure out the bottlenecks.

By expanding supply of healthcare you are taking resources away from somewhere else. Everyone can become a doctor and the nation will have very cheap and plentiful healthcare. Of course no one will be building houses, repairing roads, generating electricity, making MRI machines, refining helium, building the equipment to do the above, or countless other economic activities required for society as we know it to exist. There are limited resources, people, and time. You can’t do everything all at once.

> For example China has started mass producing MRI machines, that’s one way you adress a problem.

How do you know how many MRI machines you need? How do you know if you have too many? What about doctors, nurses, gloves, defibrillators, etc… Prices are actually a mechanism that communicates where more resources need to be allocated and where less are needed. What you’re talking about sounds more like central planning or some subset of it.
Yeah that’s exactly how I think of llms in my head: lossy compression that interpolates in order to fill in gaps. Hallucination is simply interpolation error. Which is guaranteed in lossy compression.
Acts of nature are obviously not attributable, the same with a volcano eruption. If it's caused by humans attribution is possible.
We have the whole Mediterranean for beaches, so I guess it’s that. There is the Disney park in Paris, but I gather it’s much smaller.

Legend says they had staffing problems because, according to company regulations, staff must always greet guests with a smile and Parisians just couldn’t do that.
I think the story is that the COVID stimulus checks meant that people who normally live paycheck to paycheck were for the first time showing a healthy bank balance which increased their credit score just enough to qualify. Once the checks stopped they stated defaulting.
But how are these life? Life generally defined by ability to reproduce and these would be piggybacking on hosts cellular machinery.

Do these have a known utility or is it possible some junk DNA is involved with their encoding?

I have not reviewed all the arguments.

One is simple. EU does not have a single language. There is are shared values, shared vision, shared culture, or shared identity among regular people.

The cards are stacked against EU being succesful.

Thanks for your feedback
What is the purpose of your original comment? Do you disagree with one of the parent's assertions that (this will keep evolving) (keep getting worse) (we might as well act as if we are getting surveilled) (Too much incentive to not have adversarial actors)? It doesn't seem as if you do, yet some would interpret your tone as argumentative, or unsubstantiated alarmism
This is fair. I personally agree that US government is small, or should be small for that matter. A lot of EU countries have much more efficient governments.

My original comment was about the neo-conservative ideology, which was either directly in power or heavily influencal in governmental policy in US since Reagan. It's, like anything ideological, mostly symbolic. I think the whole healtchare debate is just one of the symbolic points of this ideology. Ideologies change, and I certainly hope this for US and rest of the world that it changes.
> convince most of their customers it will be safe to attend

Apparently, you've never met my Aunt Sue. She has a graduate degree in innumeracy with a minor in illiteracy and a specialization in worrying about whatever the media tells her to worry about. However, she always votes.

More seriously, it's not cost-effective to "convince most customers it will be safe enough to attend." The game theory around fallacious public perception makes it a losing proposition for a politician or company to ever appear to reduce security requirements because as soon as "rare bad thing happens", they will be blamed - even though their reduction in pointless measures had no bearing on it.

Most independent experts agree that securing cockpit doors in 2002 made subjecting every passenger to the TSA's increased security measures unnecessary and, objectively, a very poor ROI in both cost and disruption. However, the TSA will never, ever go away - even though it could and should. Not only is reducing security politically costly, the TSA is now a multi-billion dollar federal bureaucracy, paying hundreds of vendors with lobbyists and employing tens of thousands of unionized workers spread across the most populous congressional districts. Yes, this is frustrating.
I steal your Windows laptop. I want your data. I don't have your credentials, so can't login to Windows. I let your laptop boot to the point where Bitlocker is automatically unlocked, perform a hard reboot, dump the RAM, extract the keys, and can now decrypt your drive and extract your data.
>But if I don't contest the claims, how can youtube possibly count them as abusive?

I'm not saying Alphabet/Google/Youtube did this, but they do things on a massive scale and they could "look into" a reasonable sample of claims all on their own and generate very good statistics. (always good to remember, statistical significance is independent of population size, only dependent on sample size, and rather small samples have a lot of significance, see birthday paradox)
Another millennial lost in make believe 8-/

Those are very nice numbers! It's so neat and tidy! It's also a complete divergence from physical reality. You know, that boomer land where old people yell at the cloud?

For starters, I'm an advocate of total tobacco abstinence. I watched so many people shrivel up and die from tobacco as I grew up in the south, that I would never ever be a user.

Even the people that I know who are still users basically say they would really like to quit, but they're just too addicted. The withdrawal is just too intense and long lasting. One friend's mom quit because of advancing emphysema, she said she craved a cigarette every day for the remaining 10 years of her life.

Tobacco has a withdrawal on par with heroin, but you don't even get high from it, you just feel a relief from the withdrawal after using. It's one of the most insidious drugs of compulsion known to man, which is why it's such a commercial success.

But if each cigarette takes 20 minutes off of a persons life, I know a few people who should have died in the 1800s.

Almost nothing in the natural world is a linear phenomenon.
Price signal are only relevant is you have a price elasticity of demand, which oil and gas obviously don't have, as they are the building bricks of modern trade and production. Also if logic isn't enough, you just have to look at oil price/consumption to see how inelastic oil prices are.
Why the hell would you get an ARM when the fixed rate was 3%? The only way to go from there is up.
It appeals to Americans, but Europeans have all that, with the exception of the last one, just a train away.
You're conflating physical properties with other abilities/characteristics. Does a dwarf have a physical limitation preventing them from wielding magic? This is the argument.

I don't see anything innately wrong with a human who can breathe fire, or has wings, or a dwarf with four arms, so long as you're willing to RP it. It does seem silly to say that no, it's actually against the rules, your dwarf can't learn magic.
> On top of that the post-Roe v Wade environment encourages some folks to migrate towards urban areas in more "permissive" states.

Crucially, among those who leave are not just patients. There are also doctors leaving.
> Democracy will not function with an educated public.

What makes you think that?

> dumbing down choices are just a way to get give power to megacorp and political institutions

Yes, and an educated public would find better ways to convey the same information because they can use their education to build a new thing, or build regulations or laws where they see a need, or build defenses against adversaries without sacrificing privacy. You can't do that with your local public (eg, citizens) if your citizens aren't able to comprehend the problems they're encountering.

I'm not convinced there is a coherent "territory" when it comes to mathematics. Sometimes (remarkably!) mathematical concepts neatly line up with some part of the universe, and we gain some insight into how it works. But often that part of the universe lies entirely within somebody's mind - mathematics as an hobby or aesthetic pursuit, for instance, occupied with questions of pure logic.

Different ways of thinking about the same thing can lead to conflicting truths even without set theory getting in the way. The standard model of the real numbers has no infinitesimally small elements, for instance, but the hyperreal numbers do, despite satisfying all of the same first-order properties.
Often, excluding people who won't conform is necessary if a community is to achieve its aims.
It did not become particularly easier to qualify for new mortgages over the past five years the way it did in 2004-2008. Nominal prices accelerated, yes, but rates were around 2.5%.

Generally speaking people who are in mortgages are able to afford them because they're on fairly decent terms and lent to people who are capable of paying. But nobody is selling if they're going to need a new mortgage.
If you think the stock is overpriced that's a great investment opportunity for you. I think much of the rise is due to the insanely great economics of the Cybercab along side the success of FSD 13, and the ramp up of Optimus. The stock is still probably overheated, but I'm not planning to short that.

After going all-in on Trump is there much downside left to continuing on that path? Is there somebody left that doesn't know about Musk's politics?
That seems like a fun project to replicate independently. You didn't want to rebuild it?

No, the TPM doesn't retain PCR measurements over reboots, and the log (rather than the composite PCR value) is handled by the firmware and the OS and the TPM has no idea it exists.
I wonder to what extent credit card issuers factored-in pandemic related stimulus into their risk models. If they really considered cash on-hand as a replacement to verified income the stimulus payments would have completely invalidated their existing models.
Not every group is right for every person.
