I accept that a reel to reel could generate a high static charge field but I would expect anything creating this level of physical phenomenon would be dangerous to humans.

Wouldn’t it be much more likely for someone walking into such a space to become a lightning rod rather than a fly in a spider web?
Are there any good books one can recommend on this topic?

> The key encoding also deviates from prior practice with other algorithms and entirely forgoes ASN.1 encapsulation of the key, that can be used to encode more than one key representation.

Good - ASN.1 encapsulation and the stupid mishmash of formats is awful.

Having one canonical representation of the key derived from the seed alone sounds like a great idea?

Pretty sure they are mostly used as fine tuning targets, rather than as-is.
Right, the timing of this is an unfortunate distraction because the worsening of Twitter is significantly apolitical and nonpartisan.
So this is just a wrapper for Automations and Profiles (or how Apple calls it: Focus).

But i like the idea to make such features accessible to the everyone and not only people who geek out on their phone.

As others pointed out you should implement qr codes which would make it even more usable.
IIRC, analgesics/comfort were actually considered but Mother Theresa’s hospices couldn’t afford it. They were in the slums of India decades ago. Hence, why they were hospices not hospitals
I agree in general but the way this has worked for me in practice is that I approach things hierarchically up and down. Any specific hallucinations tend to come out in the wash as the same question is asked from different layers of abstraction.
AI Tool to Increase Productivity
I would like to share about a project I’m working on called Laskade . It’s an AI workspace that helps you get more work done in less time.

I started working on Laskade to address challenges I faced as a product manager—like writing PRDs and manually copying them to Jira, sharing hand-drawn wireframes with designers, transcribing video meetings, among others.

Unlike Notion or Confluence, Laskade will offer role-specific suggestions, automations, and templates tailored to Product managers , Designers, Engineers, and other roles. Check it out: www.laskade.com

> I feel like in pretty much every case here they still do not need arbitrary access.

Several of those cases do indeed need arbitrary access.

> The moment a driver needs to be used to say allow an IOMMU range for a given device, the target computer has been tainted and you lose much of the benefit of DMA in the first place.

The premise there being that the device is doing something suspicious rather than the same thing that device would ordinarily do if it was present in the machine for innocuous reasons.

> Does a GPU need access to memory of a Usermode application for some reason, okay, the GPU driver should orchestrate that.

Okay, so the GPU has some CPU cores on it and if the usermode application is scheduled on any of those cores -- or could be scheduled on any of them -- then it will need access to that application's entire address space. Which is what happens by default, since they're ordinary CPU cores that just happen to be on the other side of a PCIe bus.

> Again, opt-in. The driver should specify explicit ranges when initializing the device.

What ranges? The security processor is intended to scan every last memory page. The cache card is storing arbitrary memory pages on itself and would need access to arbitrary others because any given page could be transferred to or from the cache at any time. The cluster card is presenting the entire cluster's combined memory as a single address space to every node and managing which pages are stored on which node.

And just to reiterate, it doesn't have to be anything exotic. The storage controller in a common machine is going to do DMA to arbitrary memory pages for swap.
That seems like a stretch. Discussions on wokeness are among the most common on the internet, it's also a well-known flame-war topic and explicitly political in nature. I think most people could have predicted the outcome of that thread based on the title alone. I suppose anything written by pg is automatically germane to HN, but that creates an awkward situation if other tech adjacent politically relevant discussion is subject to normal moderation policies.

Anyway, I know moderation is difficult, but I want to gently suggest that this feels like a double standard.
> Its quite bizarre why social media apps allow anonymous people to interact with you

Bit strange to attribute this to 'social media apps', isn't it? I'm interacting with an anonymous person right now. Most platforms allow it, including the older ones (i.e., IRC)
Could we delete that comment? I understand your intent, but I’d like to avoid it coming across as spam.
I don't think these hypotheses are in tension. The notion that some scholars, like Plato, distrusted writing based on epistemological theories--the nature of truth and knowing--is well attested. The paper you linked is a sociological description that seeks to better explain the evolution of the institutionalization of writing. Why people behave a certain way, and why they think they behave that way (i.e. their rationalizations), are only loosely related, and often at complete odds.

Why do you need to adhere to religion or spirituality in order to establish a framework to live by? Many atheists and agnostics find great meaning and moral guidance from frameworks that at no point involve religion or spirituality.
I have a couple of airtags from a side project I was playing around with that didn't end up working out. I've used these with some cheap cases from Aliexpress to attach to my small and often lost stuff around the house.
I think you need to make the argument about Nazis on its merits. Trump's people do much that fits the definition of fascism, many try to normalize or advocate for fascism, dictatorship, and even normalize Hitler. His most prominent member of government did a proto-Nazi salute (and don't say he's too dumb to know what it would look like).

And that paragraph would not be objectionable to many people in that political grouping.
From an employee perspective it varies greatly on what phase of life I’m in.

As a 20 something with little or no experience I’m more willing to burn myself out to get the experience and to climb a ladder rung or 2 early and ascending with the company.

As a 30-40+ something with a partner, young kids and a teen or two, I’m super less willing to do that. I’m more likely to be in a senior technical or management position. I’ve experienced the burnout, I’ve gotten the big grind to product launches out of my system and I’m looking for stability and lower risk investments for my time.
That size is on the edge of something you can train at home

I honestly don't see how. I haven't ever asked a question that implicates politics. This is just not what I use it for.

I understand the concern about this risk in general. I'm just making a personal observation that this isn't how I use these tools.

> Online multiplayer games must (yes must) take place on servers with human admins. Admins should be present for a majority of the time any players are playing.

Let's just make each game have a visible referee that is visible to everyone, and then after each infraction, the play can be reviewed under a video assistant. They can even have a group that does nothing but moderates the referees.

Or, we could just have games
The important issue in thinking about problems is understanding all the interconnected problems.

The internet is a horrifically hostile place. If you design a product without that in mind you're creating a danger for yourself and for your users. Slap a community site up without thinking about COPPA or GDPR or whatever Californian law and suddenly you'll have problems. Slap a site up without heavy moderation and it will be filled with the most awful porn you can imagine.

It's not about just accepting the way things the way the are, it's avoiding becoming a casualty of the way things are.
A friend recently moved to a rural area, and this question came up. I mentioned Fediverse as one possibility, with caveats.

I think you'd have to go through and make sure you know exactly what to tell them to install/configure for each of the following scenarios:

* Willing to install an iOS app.

* Willing to install an Android app.

* Willing to create an account in a Web site, and want to get email when someone in the group says something (with a hashtag or whatever).

Also see whether they're willing to talk on Fediverse, or they want something less public.
You have misunderstood or mis-read the article ... 2^{31}-1 is not 12345678910987654321.

Specifically, 2^{31}-1 = 2147483647.

Borel asked Dyson to name a prime number and, unlike Grothendieck, Dyson provided a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself: 2^{31) – 1.

But that reply did not satisfy Borel. He wanted Dyson to recite all of the digits of a large prime number.

Dyson fell silent, so after a moment, Sloane jumped in and said, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”

So Sloane was supplying a different prime, but one where he could recite all the digits.

You are absolutely right, I think it should be basic opsec, but is probably advanced opsec seeing how many folks get tripped up by this stuff.

This means, never using a browser context you have ever logged into any service that is personally identifying. That also means the order in which you load pages. If your ritual is open pintrest followed by slashdot, that is now your finger print.

It isn't just what you do, but how you do it and the ordering between those events. You also don't want to accidentally deanon yourself or your peers, even when everyone is trusted because it also leaks group membership information.

The mental framework for opsec can be modeled as vector calculus and differential geometry. You have to think of the flow of information across a surface and in the integral of that flow. Assume an adversary with perfect total information.

You've been missing the point of bheadmaster's posts, which (as it seems to me) was to show that "you can compose context-aware code with context-oblivious code (by passing context.Background()), and vice versa with no problems". Bheadmaster gave some proof of concept code showing how to do that. The code might be somewhat inefficient, but that doesn't invalidate the point. If you think there's a more efficient way to compose context-aware code with context-oblivious code, then the best way to make that case would be to explain how to do so.
The important part about the statements in the drift paper are the qualifiers:

> Cells whose activity was previously correlated with environmental and behavioral variables are most frequently no longer active in response to the same variables weeks later. At the same time, a mostly new pool of neurons develops activity patterns correlated with these variables.

“Most frequently” and “mostly new” —- this means that some neurons still fire across the weeks-long periods for the same activities, leaving plenty of potential space for concept cells.

This doesn’t necessarily mean concept cells exist, but it does allow for the possibility of their existence.

I also didn’t check which regions of the brain were evaluated in each concept, as it is likely they have some different characteristics at the neuron level.

Ask HN: Looking for a AI Web Scape Research Tool?
Has anyone come across any good tools (free or paid) that allow me to enter a URL and scrape the site, capturing the core content and providing a summary with AI? I am looking for this when needed to research a company for work. I also know I can pass in a URL to ChatGPT but want something a little more where it will at least go to the next level down pages from the menu. So you get their services, etc.

I found loads of options for coding up something yourself but I could not find an easy to use paid-for tool.
HN link is not the paper’s title. Also doesn’t seem to be peer reviewed and isn’t even uploaded to a pre-print server like arXiv—literally hosted on GitHub.
It's been a while since I took electrostatics, but I don't understand the theory behind this. If the rolls become charged and you are presumably neutral, wouldn't they attract you rather than repel you? That's what makes me think this story is apocryphal.

Is there an argument here beyond armchair psychologizing?

GPT-3 is over 4 years old. The writing was on the wall then. FAANG status-strivers had plenty of warning to maybe stop blowing their TC on impressing other people, and choose instead to sock something away.

Most chose not to, because living the "right" lifestyle was far more important than prudence. It is for these people that just desserts are in store.

The Social Network and its consequences have been a disaster for the software engineering race. It marked the Eternal September when this profession was inundated with greedy normies who don't care about software, but rather their wealth and status. The end of this era could not come quickly enough.

"Deanonymization" doesn't have to refer to a full exact address. There are people who wish to conceal which country or region they live in, which this cripples.

There was a real example of that amount of information being relevant in the Silk Road investigation. Ulbricht accidentally revealed his timezone early on, which was useful to US authorities since it narrowed him down to being in the US, whereas without that information he could have been from anywhere in the world.

Douglas Adams, right again:

The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.

The notion that anyone would hold themselves out as a religious authority and then turn a metaphorical machine handle to stamp out their religious arguments is laughable to me. If you are motivated to go around telling other people how they should think about such topics you can at least make the effort (or seek the divine inspiration) to write the material yourself. Using an LLM seems like cargo-cultism, and for followers of Abrahamic religions it's arguably idolatrous.
We've had AI retrieval for two decades--this is the first time you can outsource your intelligence to a program. In the 2000-2010s, the debates was "why memorize when you can just search and synthesize." The debate is now "why even think?" (!)

I think its obvious why it would be bad for people to stop thinking.

1. We need people to be able to interact with AI. What good is it if an AI develops some new cure but no one understands or knows how to implement it?

2. We need people to scrutinize an AI's actions.

3. We need thinking people to help us achieve further advances in AI too.

4. There are a lot of subjective ideas for which there are no canned answers. People need to think through these for themselves.

5. Also world of hollowed-out humans who can’t muster the effort to write a letters to their own kids terrifies me[0]

I could think of more, but you could also easily ask ChatGPT.

A better description would be "lactase treated" milk.
In any case, I found consuming it regularly for breakfast still lead me to feel unwell over time.

However I can periodically consume dairy when I take a strong dose of lactase supplements.

From some literature it does appear that manufacturers can use "lactose free" even for non-zero amounts of lactose (10mg per 100g).

This is actually higher lactose density than many cheese varieties, especially considering I would be consuming say 150-200g of yogurt, whereas if I am eating cheese its in small careful quantity.
While I agree about Trump, Facebook has censored left-wing causes such as Palestinians. Zuckerberg's embrace of Trump, including possibly getting approval for Facebook's recent changes, raises many concerns.

I'd say categorically that fascism is not a helpful term to describe movements outside the 1900-1945 period in Europe. (e.g. Japan's movement was anti-colonial if anything, Tokugawa Japan would have been happy to be left alone to gaze its navel, if that wasn't possible it wanted the asia-pacific region as a buffer zone)

Today it is "Keir Starmer is a fascist" (Sci-fi writer Charlie Stross), "the local people department is fascist" (BLM supporters), I half expect to hear "Jesus was a fascist" although certainly that accusation is leveled at his followers.

There's something seductive about the imagery in Pink Floyd's The Wall and V is for Vendetta that is evocative of the period. Perhaps today's political systems are on the brink of failure due to inaction the way that the remnants of European aristocracy were. But we're not going to face what we're up against using "thought stopping" terms.

One could make the case that the real problem with "people worried about the price of eggs" is a lack of meaning and that Trump's talk about going to Mars or annexing Greenland addresses that more directly, as do the fantasies of fascism which can elevate ordinary feelings of despair.
This is incredible reading. It's hard to believe, but I believe it.
There's a few luxury vehicles using solid state coming to market soon I believe.

It'll take time to build up the manufacturing scale before it becomes widely adopted so traditional Li-ion is here to for a bit.

Of course after solid state there's lithium air batteries next up. However commercial viability is probably between 20~40 years.
Meetup is often used in the groups I'm in. A friend used to organize and it cost the organizers money but no the members. It was pretty ad free.

Now they're asking members to sign up (and pay) for more feature (meetup plus). and show ads. But still decent for organizing meetings.
I feel like pretty much all cheaters can be detected by just looking at mouse movements vs enemy positions. If you can easily spot cheaters through a killcam or spectator view, they can be detected through a serverside watchdog, no?
I’m the opposite. I live in the ‘burbs and have quite a bit of space, but would like even more! I really like my stuff. My favorite way to spend vacation time is to putter around my house because all around are things that make me so happy.

If I could wave a magic wand and get more space, I would double my garage space (or build a workshop out back). I’m just getting into woodworking and that can use a lot of space.
Isn’t that because the URL parameters are so long that by design they effectively _are_ the password protection for the resource ? They shouldn’t be able to ‘leak’ to unintended recipients.

Personally, like you I’m also not a huge fan of this, but URLs like that basically should be treated as the passwords. Don’t post them publicly / don’t give them out to people you don’t trust.

SaaSCurate is still in MVP phase.
I know someone whose mother “solves” clutter by giving things to family and friends, which is really outsourcing clutter because now your friends have the clutter problem and emotional blackmail to keep it.

When I met her, she was busy trying to gift something. In that moment I thought of the scene in Labyrinth, after Sarah eats the peach and ends up in the midden heap with the old lady who is telling Sarah to focus on her belongings. She was a lot.
