Your whole argument basically falls apart with this logic: "Republicans wanted to cheat to put a Republican in power, until they were stopped by a court of law, and when defeated, appealed to powerful Republicans, who voted along party lines to give more power to Republicans."
There's been a few grid storage fires in the news, you'd think refurbishing/recycling would increase the risk. If the aluminium batteries are significantly less explosive, that might tip that balance?
In Node, you would commonly reach for the builtin core "node:crypto" module to run cryptographic functionality like this. I wondered why that wasn't used here, but bcryptjs was. After digging into it a little, node doesn't ship with core support for bcrypt, because it's not supported by OpenSSL.

The node crypto module is essentially an API that offloads crypto work to OpenSSL. If we dig into OpenSSL, they won't support bcrypt. Bcrypt won't be supported by OpenSSL because of reasons to do with standardisation. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/5323

Since bcrypt is not a "standardised" algorithm, it makes me wonder why Okta used it, at all?

I remember in uni studying cryptography for application development and even then, back in 2013, it was used and recommended, but not standardised. it says a lot that 12 years on it still hasn't been.

Just as a counterpoint (which you generally don't hear when people talk about any kind of exercise):

I'm 43 too. I started getting back into it about a year ago and ended up feeling a lot worse physically (and correspondingly psychologically) because of it. I have pain in my arm/shoulder now that isn't getting any better and which "physiotherapy" did almost nothing to improve, and hip pain/discomfort that's gotten worse in the process, plus there's the obvious wasted time, effort, and money.

I'm glad you're having positive effects from it, but it's far from a universal truth that weight training leads to positive outcomes. Not that I think that's what you're claiming, but that seems to be the narrative online.

Hey, first of all, it's awesome to hear that. I miss screen savers and procedural animation so much... I mean, I used to zone out on them for hours, and try to write my own as a kid. It was a lot of fun. I realize the world has no need for them anymore, but I still like them. I'm not sure how we got to a point where there's only one basic screen saver for the Mac and it's almost impossible to find anything else.

I hadn't heard of hopalong fractals, but this code implements something very similar. Conceptually, if you scan the whole image space at each iteration and, for each lit pixel you light up another random pixel at half the brightness within a certain radius, things will begin to trend in one direction. Because if the first one you light happens to be off to the left, then there's double the probability that the next will be at least that far to the left, and then the leftward spread becomes exponentially more likely in the following iterations. I haven't actually encountered spiral arms in this, but maybe following hopalongs will be my next saver ;) There's a lot you can do with a little code here. You can warp the space you want to light up, or over/under light certain things, re-amplify, or run a fader on the entire screen in a few bytes. The possibilities are endless. But it's kind of like...how do I make a thing that looks like that? The fun part, for me, of making a screen saver or any procedural art is cooking with very few ingredients and lots of limitations.
Clearly, eh? Spoken like someone who didn't get debilitating whiplash for years from being rear ended on a highway. My friend's vestibular system has been shot for 8 years and counting from that accident, and she still can't drive / bike / do much requiring balance/hand-eye coordination anymore. She was "lucky" this accident happened under the old system, she will at least get compensation ("will", because it's only now getting to trial, because the government insurance wouldn't pay what is due on its own, and the same government wouldn't fund the courts to provide a speedier resolution). If this accident happened today, she would have gotten peanuts that aren't enough to even offset the increased costs of life, let alone get any meaningful compensation for pain and suffering.

Do you want to tell me more about how you saving ~$500/year outweighs people like her being absolutely shafted under the new system? Please don't, I don't care. That's not why I commented.

The main purpose of my original comment wasn't to say that the new ICBC system is shitty – enough was said about that elsewhere already. It was to illustrate with a real life example that laws regarding liability can and are changed in very significant ways when the situation calls for it. Petty political reasons being as good a call as any, apparently, so I'm not worried about self-driving cars being stiffled by that. There's a sprinkle of "be careful what you wish for" in there as well, for those who see manufacturers' liability as a problem.

Early egyptology wasnt about science. Ancient egypt was backdrop to many stories from the bible. Historians were looking to learn more about those events from a literate culture that lived alongside them. They were hoping to confirm or elaborate upon christianity. Only later, after almost zero mention was found, did egyptology evolve away from being a religious mission.

Skimming this stuff reinforces the belief that one will regret attempting to compete in a market with any significant regulatory requirement. Compliance seems boring, exhausting, complicated, occasionally arbitrary, and sometimes petty.
Some ways one could approach it:

Religious: the body is connected to a spirit and should be protected.

Familial: the body is scared to individuals who knew the person.

Cultural:; the body represents a current people, and to exhume it makes them feel dehumanized.

Legal: the body is property and property rights are to be respected.

Seems like with ancient Egyptian mummies none of those are relevant. The modern Egyptians have moved on from the old faiths, none trace their lineage to those mummies, culturally they are proud of them, legally there has been too much churn for the old claims to be relevant.

Show HN: A GPU group-buying layer to get enterprise rates (~50% off H100s)
We built, saga[1] a layer that lets smaller teams access enterprise GPU discounts through collective buying power.

How it works:

1. Aggregate GPU spend across hundreds of ML teams

2. Get enterprise rates through combined volume

3. Pass savings to users, monetize via provider partnerships

Technical notes:

- Works at billing layer only (no access to code/data)

- Supports existing cloud setups or managed GPUs

- Private beta running since January, opening more spots for March

- Currently seeing ~50% savings on H100s/A100s

Agreed, I'm consistently inconsistent. I'll lift for a while, then mess around and not lift for a while.

Each and every time I've gone back to consistent barbell lifting it would only take me a few months to get back to higher numbers I've run into in the past. This is part of the reason why I love weightlifting so much.

I used to be an avid runner, and not running after a long while has made it much more difficult. Lifting is always easy to get back into (at least for me).

Even with current limited systems — which are not purely desk workers, they're already being connected to and controlling robots, even by amateurs — AI lowers the minimum human skill level needed to do those things.

The fear is: how far are we from an AI that doesn't need a human in the loop? Because ChatGPT was almost immediately followed by ChaosGPT, and I have every reason to expect people to continue to make clones of ChaosGPT continuously until one is capable of actually causing harm. (As with 3d-printed guns, high chance the first ones will explode in the face of the user rather than the target).

I hope we're years away, just as self driving cars turned out to be over-promised and under-delivered for the last decade — even without a question of "safety", it's going to be hard to transition the world economy to one where humans need not apply.

> And the problem of "human alignment" is one unsolved since Cain and Abel.

Yes, it is unsolved since time immemorial.

This has required us to not only write laws, but also design our societies and institutions such that humans breaking laws doesn't make everything collapse.

While I dislike the meme "AI == crypto", one overlap is that both have nerds speed-running discovering how legislation works any why it's needed — for crypto, specifically financial legislation after it explodes in their face; for AI, to imbue the machine with a reason to approximate society's moral code, because they see the problem coming.

However, they have done a lot of research on these cases and not found anything abnormal.
