Sex happens in private (mostly, and I'm not judging those who prefer otherwise) and people lie about it. A lot.

But a more publicly observable and, obviously, very adjacent indicator is kissing.

Time was, you'd see a lot of people kissing in public. Not just quick ones either. Pretty normal to walk past bars and there'd be a couple (or more than one) making out by the smoking area. Same in bars beyond a certain time of night, same in a lot of city parks. Sometimes even on the subway. Teenagers walking home from nights out or drinking in the park. (Legal here in the UK and not frowned upon like in the US). In the middle of club or festival crowds.

And whether you think that's cool or gross, there's notably less of it around, and that's been a trend for quite some time.

Maybe the 70s through 90s was an anomaly, it would have been heavily frowned upon before that, but something certainly changed in the mid/late 00s.
This may be true, but going to a site, not following the rules and then being upset you got moderated is fairly silly. If you don't like the rules, there's plenty of internet out there for everyone.
I do wonder how we're talking past each other. Usually when I use an SMT solver I'm interested in finding a satisfying solution. Breaking up the problem on some variable the solver would search across multiple processors can improve the wall-time until finding one.

I doubt I'm following your metaphors/allusions, but the parallel may be that you're only hoping for any portfolio to have excess performance, and not the sum total.
No, it's not. Supply of housing is not in any way limited. Cities are desperately fighting a rearguard action against greedy developers plopping multi-story monstrosities in former SFH areas. All in the name of "affordable housing".

While the supply of house units per capita is at the record-high levels.

Reality: housing is cheap, abundant, and high quality. Just not near the downtown cores of large cities.

Putting stickers onto phones, kicking out violators and fostering a culture around that does miracles to that kind of behavior. Once a majority enjoyes the moment and is very openly pissed off by any kind of filming we go back to being ourselves.
Sorry, I should have been more clear.

At the time I came across these threads, none of these submissions were "[flagged]" (or at least not indicated as such in the UI). They had 10-30ish upvotes, all were under an hour old, and yet they were buried on the first and second pages of "new".

Do articles that are flagged once or twice get internally penalized and de-ranked but not shown as "[flagged]" yet in the UI until they accumulate more flagging?
2g (and all other standards after it) use 20-millisecond frames.

It needs to send 8KHz audio at much lower bitrates (~14Kbps instead of 64Kbps), and you can't do that with raw PCM if you want decent quality. This means you need lossy compression and a codec, and those need far more than a single sample to work well.

CDMA was similar, not sure what their frame size was exactly, but it was somewhere in the vicinity.
Egont sounds a bit like SQL, no? A social way to share data and work with it ... a shared RDBMS where everyone has a user account and can create tables/share them with other users, built in security, etc. Splat a GUI on top and you have something similar.

Modern web frameworks are getting pretty declarative. If you want a basic web app with a log in/out page that's not hard to do. I'm more familiar with Micronaut than Spring but you'd just add:

micronaut.security.authentication=cookie

and the relevant dependencies. Now you write a class that checks the username/password, or use LDAP, or configure OAuth and the /login URL takes a POST of username/password. Write a bit of HTML that looks good for your website and you're done.

> it's a grave privacy violation.

I'm missing something here. DKIM mostly proves an email from person@from.me was sent by a server @from.me controls. There is also a bloody great audit trail inside of the email with together with SPF can do a pretty good job of proving the same thing.

I'm struggling to see how an email sent to me, that presumably was always intended to be readable by me could suddenly become a privacy violation because it's signed. That is doubly so if I won't receive it if it isn't validly signed when it is received, which is often the case.
Not to mention passkeys, which people seem to be so enamored with.

I'm glad the author linked to Matt's videos. As soon as I saw the Wired headline I knew where they got the scoop from. His youtube channel [0] is focused on IOT hacking. Most of his techniques will probably be considered basic by HN people, but his videos have a good vibe and I look forward to them showing up in my feed. Hope others enjoy too!

I think the path Serenity took is the better one. Initially targeting QEMU as the single supported platform. You have the same advantage as far as targeting a single platform for drivers but contributors don't need to buy additional hardware, can develop using the platform/tools they are accustomed to, starting instances is faster than rebooting hardware and no need to deal with the issues of remotely debugging. Targeting a specific SBC as a 2nd platform after a certain level of stability is reached is probably a good idea.
Interesting. I'm not sure if the public comment period is over (The original proposal is dated August, 2023), but this stands out to me from their paper:

We propose to focus the scope of our program on intentional radiators that generate and emit RF energy by radiation or induction.31 Such devices – if exploited by a vulnerability – could be manipulated to generate and emit RF energy to cause harmful interference. While we observe that any IoT device may emit RF energy (whether intentionally, incidentally, or unintentionally), in the case of incidental and unintentional radiators, the RF energy emitted because of exploitation may not be enough to be likely to cause harmful interference to radio transmissions.

I guess it is the FCC so this makes sense from their point of view. From my perspective, I'd like to see marks indicating:

* If the devices can be pointed to an alternate API provider if the company stops supporting

* If firmware has been escrowed / will be made available if the company stops supporting

* If device data is stored by the company

* If that data is certified as end to end encrypted

* Some marks for who / how the data is used

I can relate with everything you have said and my life experience seems to be similar to yours. When I was younger in the 90s I forced myself to go clubbing a few times. I hated everything about it, frankly. Even so, I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on important life experiences when I read comments here.

But I think it's important to keep in mind that threads like these suffer from selection bias because, objectively speaking, most people in real life do not go clubbing or raving in their adulthood...

"Which products will be included in the program?
The program applies to consumer wireless IoT products.

Examples of eligible products include internet-connected home security cameras, voice-activated shopping devices, smart appliances, fitness trackers, garage door openers, and baby monitors."

Ok, nothing I use then. I hope this comes to home and SMB network gear.
Lots of people on /r/covidlonghaulers and on twitter have reported suffering Long Covid after having been vaccinated. The last report out of the UK from the ONS in July 2023 [1] shows that most sufferers are actually from Omicron onwards and in the UK adult vaccination is above 80%.

The vaccines just don't defend against Long Covid, they may reduce the risk a bit the studies show some potential protective effect but its definitely not sufficient. Given the high risk and high debilitation of Long Covid it would be sensible to take precautions to avoid catching Covid again until such time as protective vaccination is available as Long Covid will ruin your life.

Not true, artificial sweeteners lead to the same addiction effects as sugar. There was some paper about this recently.

I didn't know that JSON.stringify could be called multiple times on the same object and then unpacked via repeated calls to JSON.parse. So I was wrong on that. I think definitely this warrants a comment in the code, at the least explaining why this was taking place. The likely reason for the nesting was I think calling an LLM for a valid json object and somewhere in that workflow the json object was getting stringified more than once. I suspect this is the fault of the codebase and not the LLM itself, but it was typical of these devs to not ever investigate the api to understand what it was returning and rather just apply bandaid after bandaid.

I reserve my general opinion on the quality of this coder's work, as evidenced by the quality of the app itself among other things. But I guess you'd have to just trust (or not trust) me on that.
Other than research, is the idea that this would be used for very expensive, made to order treatments? When you have to pay to launch the mass of the medicine into space, I can’t see any other model being economical.

And in the real world, not even this is true, due to the cost of satisfying OKRs--opportunity cost is one kind of cost, but optimizing an OKR can of course negatively impact other valuable things that aren't represented by OKRs.

You know what would make farming even cheaper? Child labour. So would indentured servitude. Or why not consider slavery? After all we've established that we're fine with breaking the law so that certain industries have lower operating costs, so these should all be on the table. No one wants to pay more for food.

Besides, child slaves do the jobs Americans don't want to do! You're socially immoral if you don't support it.
And they were right. Television created nothing of value.
There's a concept called "unsprung mass", which basically destroys handling of all vehicles from race cars to trucks. Basically the greater the unsprung mass, the harder it is to damp the input into the suspension because of the inertia of the moving suspension components themselves. An ideal suspension has zero undamped mass, and all input to the suspension is a direct result of contact with the surface the vehicle is traveling on.

There is zero chance this tech will make it into sports cars unless it can beat the weight of a magnesium or AL alloy rim. Even casual vehicles like minivans have rim weight minimized for comfort.

Not an expert :) just watched enough Donut media on youtubes :P
They are vastly improving code quality by replacing first party libraries with third party ones. For example all the encryption libraries, media codecs etc. create a needlessly large attack surface (and general correctness surface) if you roll your own. That's why some of the first things they've started using are FFMPEG and OpenSSL.
One example is an unsubscribe link. Legally, it would be no bueno to have it behind any sort of login.

Another is just counting if a link from an email was clicked. I want friction to be as little as possible. That's done by having some sort of redirect, but you have to use a JavaScript initiated post to weed add false positives. That's already ridiculous, but because of automated link prefetchers, you still need to disable that and show a f'n button.

And then I have to answer to clients that want to know why their clickthrough stats are down precipitously and I don't honestly have the wherewithall to explain the inner workers of every filter that snoops their email before they read it.
You were correct, we had a good call and I go him directionally correct. He knows what to do now. Thanks for encouraging him.

This comment reminds me of a video I saw recently (not sure if I could find it) where someone broke down failure points for projects based on different aspects of engineering, using "designing a drone" as the example project.

For someone working on the systems interactions, the failure point is making sure all the bits of the project are working together.

For someone working on optics, the failure point is finding cost-effective optics -- if you can't do that, then the project isn't going to go forward.

For the hobbyist? The failure point is <i>getting the project done</i>. Every other concern takes a back seat to this!

From my vantage point as someone living in America, however, I'm probably in a similar boat to you, because of my inexperience in electronics. If I want to take a deep dive into the subject, I'd be much better off getting a lot of generic cheap parts I can accidentally burn through, but would give me 90% of what I need, and I can worry about whether or not I need something highly specialized later, as my projects -- and my knowledge and skills! -- mature.

Logic languages are definitely not what I'd expect a relational-first language to look like.

What we learned from Prolog is mostly that starting from an exponentially-complex primitive and then trying to beat it into submission doesn't work at scale. Relational DBs don't have that problem. They do go n-squared and n-cubed and so forth easily, but there are lots of solutions to that as well.
My Lumenator
Actually, you can solve the assignment problem as a linear program (LP). Just do

min sum_i sum_j c_{ij}*x_{ij}

s.t. sum_i x_{ij} == 1, for all j
sum_j x_{ij} == 1, for all i

and you automagically get an integer solution in the x_{ij} due to the structure of the constraints.

CVXPY would be a good way to implement this these days.

Did you just arrive from Mars to judge our discourse norms?

It's completely typical to expect someone who makes a surprising factual claim to back it up with evidence. You're talking to them because you think they might know something you don't, and be able to point to how they know it - or they might not, and them offering weak or non-existent evidence would show that.
Repudiation doesn't work if the receive discards the email if it isn't signed, or marks it as DKIM validated when it is received. Many receivers using independent email providers like gmail, so the sender has no control over whether it happens or not. Both practices are common today, so it likely it does happen.

Rotating the key does make the claim "I have proof he sent it" a litter weaker, as it's no longer as easy to prove. But only a little as "your honour, it is marked as DKIM verified by the independent email provider he uses" is pretty solid.
I don't know where this idea that the RPi has good hardware documentation comes from. One glaring example is its DWC USB controller. Sure, it has a Linux driver that is open source, but its datasheet is not publicly available!

So if you want to develop your own driver for it, you have to second guess its documentation by reading at the driver's comments. This is bad.

Hail science, but I find the idea that intelligent design = someone thought it out to be a naive misunderstanding.

I think a lot about proton pumps. I know it has to have evolved naturally, but it looks so engineered. I am certain there's a lot more to the process of evolution than we currently know.

To be fair most versions of intelligent design arguments I know are also quite naive.
One of Serenity's philosophical decisions is that as much as possible they build everything themselves from scratch. So even if NetBSD's drivers would be easy to adapt and have a compatible license they probably wouldn't go that route and would instead write their own drivers.
Interesting that E is cited under “capabilities”, but not under “loosen up the functions”. E’s eventual-send RPC model is interesting in a number of ways. If the receiver is local then it works a bit like a JavaScript callback in that there’s an event loop driving execution; if it’s remote then E has a clever “promise pipelining” mechanism that can hide latency. However E didn’t do anything memorable (to me at least!) about handling failure, which was the main point of that heading.

For “capabilities” and “A Language To Encourage Modular Monoliths”, I like the idea of a capability-secure module system. Something like ML’s signatures and functors, but modules can’t import, they only get access to the arguments passed into a functor. Everything is dependency injection. The build system determines which modules are compiled with which dependencies (which functors are passed which arguments).

An existing “semi-dynamic language” is CLOS, the Common Lisp object system. Its metaobject protocol is designed so that there are clear points when defining or altering parts of the object system (classes, methods, etc.) at which the result is compiled, so you know when you pay for being dynamic. It’s an interesting pre-Self design that doesn’t rely on JITs.

WRT “value database”, a friend of mine used to work for a company that had a Lisp-ish image-based geospatial language. They were trying to modernise its foundations by porting to the JVM. He had horror stories about their language’s golden image having primitives whose implementation didn’t correspond to the source, because of decades of mutate-in-place development.

The most common example of the “value database” or image-based style of development is in fact your bog standard SQL database: DDL and stored procedures are very much mutate-in-place development. We avoid the downsides by carefully managing migrations, and most people prefer not to put lots of cleverness into the database. The impedance mismatch between database development by mutate-in-place and non-database development by rebuild and restart is a horribly longstanding problem.

As for “a truly relational language”, at least part of what they want is R style data frames.

Things like this are useless, in my mind, because hackers are always going to innovate and find ways around protection mechanisms. Today's "locked down" IoT device could easily become tomorrow's "vulnerable to an easily exploitable pre-auth RCE".

What the government probably _should_ do is begin establishing a record of manufacturers/vendors which indicates how secure their products have been over a long period of time with an indication of how secure and consumer-friendly their products should be considered in the future. This would take the form of something like the existing travel advisories Homeland Security provides.

Should you buy Cisco products? Well, they have a track record of deciding to EOL stuff instead of fixing it when it's expensive or inconvenient to do the right thing.

Should you buy Lenovo products? Well, they're built in a country that regularly tries and succeeds in hacking our infrastructure and has a history of including rootkits in their laptops.
