that one always amazes me. How did they figure it out? it's not exactly intuitive, especially when they wouldn't have known about the chemistry underneath.

Normally, the valuations tend to drop after Intel acquires them (see Altera and I think McAfee as well). At least this one didn't drop.
> .. Tor .. believing its three hops is the minimum required number of hops to achieve the goal of anonymity.

It's more nuanced than that. Tor's design states the following:

"A global passive adversary is the most commonly assumed threat when analyzing theoretical anonymity designs. But like all practical low-latency systems, Tor does not protect against such a strong adversary."

https://svn-archive.torproject.org/svn/projects/design-paper...

There are tons of ways to de-anonymize users, Tor and VPN users alike. Same goes for mixnets. Whether or not an attacker can acquire a user's real-world identity depends on a lot of parameters. The number of network proxy hops is just one parameter.

Having said that, everything else equal, more hops is better than fewer. Then again, if all the user does is log into Facebook with their real-world identity, the number of hops doesn't matter at all. Or it does, because their adversary isn't Facebook, but their local ISP! It depends on what the user wants to protect against. There is a reason the Tor Project went on to build the Tor Browser. They realized that the sort of anonymity that users were looking for wasn't to be had with only the Tor network. They needed to complement the tor client with privacy protections on the application layer.

Regarding network proxy hops there's also this perspective: strong anonymity, low bandwidth overhead, low latency - choose two. This anonymity trilemma teaches us yet again that security and performance / UX is often at odds. If you want security you have to be prepared for inconvenience.
Encryption without authentication is not very useful; if unauthenticated, your ISP could middle-man your connection and effectively decrypt everything while making you think you're encrypted.

If that's not in your threat model, and you want encryption for another purpose, then I could understand that, but currently, protecting the endpoints against malicious attackers in the middle is the big value of TLS.
The Rust for Linux politics mess should be laid squarely at Linus' feet. He's the BDFL. He approved adding Rust to Linux, and he massively failed at communicating what that even meant. If he wants Rust in the kernel, he needs to kick some maintainers in the ass and get everyone aligned.

Europe's safety is optimized for its environment: mostly narrow, crooked, and crowded streets with a lot of pedestrians. Most use cases for a pickup truck that's only sold in North America are in the part of America where you're much more likely to crash into a tree, deer, fence post, etc than you are a person.
Why do you think this is a fundamental hurdle, rather than just one more problem that can be solved? I dont have strong evidence either way, but I've seen a lot of 'fundamental unsurmountable problems' fall by the wayside over the past few years. So I'm not sure we can be that confident that a problem like this, for which we have very good classic algorithms, is a fundamental issue.
Thinking that a new, least sucking data format won’t be used for configuration was a bigger mistake. Like, yeah, I will exchange all my data in JSON now, but store configs in a good old XMLNS XSLT DTMF?
To start with, "I/you" is most of the time a meaningless or at best very ambigous term.

Let's say that here "I" is taken as synonym of "the present reflective attention".

Can the question "did I chose to ground reasoning?" in such a context be attached to a meaningful interpretation? And if so, is the answer reachable by the means available to "I"? Can "I" transcend "my" beliefs through contemplation of "my" own affabulations?
This appears to represent a failure within the company. It means the employees are more loyal to managers than they are to the product. Which means your management is failing at their jobs. I suspect for similar reasons, turtles all the way up. But I'm not sure it's surprising as C Suite execs value quarterly earnings over product. But the latter is supposed to drive the former
It's so surprising to hear these issues with FSD and it makes me nervous even though I haven't encountered any problems in v13. I regularly use it back and forth between work and home and mostly rush hour with a lot of difficult merges and weird situations.
It certainly isn't. Getting even C code written by human with best effort for addressing standards and conventions accepted is challenging enough.

So we can conclude that the LLM doesn’t think much of “tasted Honda” or “repelling tape”, and was very surprised by “Honda’s spicy rodent”, but it knows enough about human nature that “and I will do it again” came as almost no surprise whatsoever.

Is there a term for when society shifts the frame of reference on all dimensions so that anything that would have been deemed odd / wrong now naturally ends up positive ?
Controls that require a feedback loop have more cognitive overhead than controls you can just use “blindly” (this includes not having to check for haptic feedback to test what mode it’s in) and from pure muscle memory. For example, you learn that your preferred volume when driving on a highway is at (say) the two o’clock position, and with time you’ll blindly turn the knob to that position without even consciously thinking about it. If, on the other hand, you “know” that the knob could be in a wrong mode, you’ll tend to hesitate when operating it because of that anticipation, having to check back whether the knob is indeed in the correct mode.

What are you talking about? I'm yet to work at a business where developers aren't proficient in 2 or more programming languages. Why do you presume that experts in the field would be blocked by a limitation that does not apply to the vast majority of professional software developers?
It's true that the subthread was a generic tangent and in that sense off-topic, but that arguably started with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42997899, not the reply. It's also true that the subthread got a bit testier and flamier as it went along, which was disappointing. I've detached it from the original root now (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43017762).

If someone wants to talk about boys, it's fair for others to talk about girls.

No, but my newborn had to go to the ER once and it kicked off 18 months of billing disputes with the hospital. And the thing I learned was the depths of incompetence, malice, and laziness that a hospital billing department was capable of.

One of the key lessons - if a doctor submits an incorrect billing code, insurance can't do anything to change it. If a doctor doesn't want to work with insurance to fix the codes, you as a patient have so few options to do anything.
And people should feel any compassion for architects of this. Lol

There is no correct answer for this; it’s a highly personal preference.

A lot of people prefer purity of grammar; these are the kind of folks who demand coding style guidelines and will be very unhappy if you violate their preference. They’re not wrong, but they have a very strong preference.

A lot of people don’t care so much about particular style decisions, but they want readable code that is easy to understand, maintain and modify. I think a lot of the trailing-comma-preferring people fall into this category. But again, it’s a preference and isn’t right or wrong.

There are probably also people who don’t care and compete in obfuscated code contests or try to minimize line counts by putting as many statements on each line as possible or otherwise writing genius-but-unreadable code by taking advantage of language and syntax idiosyncrasies. This is a preference too (although I consider it antisocial).

My preference is, if it’s unambiguous, allow trailing commas wherever there are lists, because it makes cut and paste operations much easier.

But at the end of the day that’s just my preference and not superior to anyone else.
As a general rule, a person who knows the patch level of FSD in their Cybertruck is a person who is about to say something unimaginably stupid.
So you don't write it in C?
Most FSD users are in it because they see how great things could be if self-driving existed, and are willing to put in the risk to get the algorithms trained.
In the US, key boxes seem the exception and smart locks are the rule. Nothing to lose, can be programmed to not work past a certain time, etc.

That works well for a single deadbolt. Many years ago we stayed in a friends apartment in Madrid. There were 3 keys for the locks, each at least a foot apart, and the door jamb was lined with metal to make it more difficult to break in. So it might not be simple and/or cheap to replace key boxes with smart locks.
Oh, they have their deals.

> you also over-estimate the desire for developers to increase their productivity with AI. I use AI to reduce complexity and give me more breathing room, not to increase my output.

I'm the same. But I expect that once many begin to do this, there will be some who do use it for productivity and they will set the bar. Then people like you and I will either use it for productivity or fall behind.

Actually, you don’t have that right. Most cities ban public nuisance noises such as blasting air horns.

You’re mostly free to do things that do not harm others. If you don’t like my speaking you can and should just move along. Blasting an air horn is not only harming me it harms everyone around you. Whereby you are interfering with everyone else’s right to not have public nuisances.

Nobody has certainty about the future. We can only look at what seems most likely given the data.
I don't get it, what do you expect them to do? just reinforce your view? the data is pretty clear how many people use FSD without issues. What's equally weird is you guys preemptively smearing folks who defend FSD. I don't get it, nothing will make you guys change your mind I guess.

In the extreme case that Obscura and Mullvad are forced to cooperate, you're right that this is the case. However, this is strictly (and much) less likely than a _single_ party being pressured or even a single party's infrastructure being hacked.

Another important thing to note: in our App, you can check your connected server’s public key against those listed on Mullvad’s server page, since we use the same servers as Mullvad's normal ones. It would be unheard of for a VPN provider (let alone a trustworthy one like Mullvad) to give their WireGuard private keys to a new partner.

Indeed. This is the issue with these panels. They tend to be prohibitively expensive. Worth for signage because labour costs will dominate in the long run. I suspect this is what dictates the panel prices.

Would YOU want to be named (without permission) in a document like this as being responsible for something in a high-visibility project like the kernel just because you contributed some code, or gave a talk at a conference?

Anyway, some slides at a conference are not the authoritative source for who works on Rust in the Linux kernel, something this is:

The goal is to wear you out and it's the context missing from the discussion. An external observer could look at any of my contested insurance claims and say 'They asked for more information, you gave it to them, the claim was approved, so what is the problem?"

What's missing is all the days I had to get up, check on my claim, and call them because the claim was still denied and they sure weren't going to call me.

What's missing is the hours I spent on the phone with them taking them step-by-step through the same issue each time.

Not a hardware guy, but I wonder if that's a factor in connector choice.

> I remember Google's early self driving cars and everyone thought they were only a few years away from being practical.

...and that turned out to be a little optimistic, but they really are "there" now IMHO in San Francisco. I rode in one for the first time last year. Subjectively, I felt safer moving through San Francisco traffic in the self-driving car than I do when I'm driving there myself or when I'm being driven by a human in a Lyft. It was attentive, cautious, and smooth, and I got there in a reasonable time with no fuss. And crucially, I see a notable lack of stories about it making dangerous decisions, despite the total passenger miles.

Why is Waymo there now and not Tesla? I think a combination of factors, including: (a) the head start, (b) the willingness to use LIDAR and RADAR to overcome limitations, (c) the focus on self-driving (they design and operate self-driving systems; they don't manufacture electric cars), (d) the service model (easier problem to focus on a mapped region with good weather and monitor everything vs. sell a car expected to work anywhere/anytime without (as much?) telemetry), (e) frankly, caring more about safety and less about hype. Of those differences, the "head start" one is shrinking relatively speaking, but the others will likely remain significant enough that I don't expect to trust Tesla's systems any time soon.

Yes. On the other hand, it does complicate things for the attacker, whether it is internal (the orgs) or external - a 3rd party attacker would have to compromise both orgs instead of one.

Voluntarily: If you look at the business incentives that wouldn't make a lot of sense.
