News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Even more amazing is that there are still people playing that game.

"Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves, not for society."

As human beings, we have an underlying need for belonging and connection. All of us are by default programmed to be connected to our own interests. For many that circle broadens to their friends and family and for a few that broadens to their immediate community. Fewer still feel connected to their country and only some of us will feel connected to the world.

If you read just one article on web3, let it be this one.
Re:14-inch MacBook Pro review: A Mac Pro in your backpack on Monday October 25, 2021 @12:46PM (#28990005)
I think it's pretty cool that video is getting such a performance boost, however there are more developers than video editors out there that could have used few more general purpose cores on the silicon. If you look at compile times, the M1 MAX is just slightly better than AMD mobile CPUs produced on an inferior process node. Nothing to write home about.

As with anything, we have to ask ourselves why are we offloading the responsibility to the OS providers to solve this, when we really have to determine for ourselves if the risk is even a risk at all on our individual systems. Do I care about this hard to exploit vulnerability on a web server that's streaming video content to the public? No. Does it matter on a DB server with important financial data? Yes it does.

Applying the patch should be opt-in if you ask me. But of course, most sysadmins are hopeless. So then the OS vendors push it out, it's safer than letting the decision to uninformed people.

Looks very nice! Does it support multi gpu training during the search?
Re:On the death of my family's dairy farm (2019) on Friday March 12, 2021 @11:52AM (#26437795)
There used to be a time when every town had a dairy and also nice men who would deliver it to you in glass reusable containers and perhaps even have sex with your wife.
Re:Tom Lehrer releases song lyrics to public domain on Tuesday October 20, 2020 @11:20AM (#24838368)
I remember reading about an ELI5: The "Old Math" in Tom Lehrer's New Math. That post was funny.

If you haven't heard the song, he describes the way they used to do math as follows:

Consider the following subtraction problem, which I will put up here: 342 minus 173. Now, remember how we used to do that:

Three from two is nine, carry the one, and if you're under 35 or went to a private school, you say seven from three is six, but if you're over 35 and went to a public school, you say eight from four is six ...and carry the one, so we have 169.

I wish I could give it a try... I don't have a place of my own yet and no access to a kitchen, but hey! It could be worse. I'll save the recipe for the future though.
The ability to create a docker image from multiple sub-images is pretty useful. I think you could also use Dockerfile multi stage builds for that, but it’s not as clean.
Re:Chernobyl wildfires and radiation risk on Thursday April 16, 2020 @12:01PM (#22890734)
So far in 2020 we have a near-war with Iran, a global pandemic, a locust invasion in Africa, Krakatoa erupting in Indonesia, and now a radioactive wildfire, and it's only April.
Not my comment, but exactly my thoughts:

AI is a buzzword with no meaning behind it used by every idiot that runs a script on a big CSV file, so far outside of IT it can't be any less of a meme. I can already see them "analyzing" these "top 10 compliment beast" listicles and creating "sex in a bottle" and it's going to be Secretions Magnifiques II.

Re:In the Pancreas, Common Fungi May Drive Cancer on Friday October 04, 2019 @01:46PM (#21160079)
PDA tumours in humans and mouse models of this cancer displayed an increase in fungi of about 3,000-fold compared to normal pancreatic tissue. The composition of the mycobiome of PDA tumours was distinct from that of the gut or normal pancreas on the basis of alpha- and beta-diversity indices. Specifically, the fungal community that infiltrated PDA tumours was markedly enriched for Malassezia spp. in both mice and humans.
This is an undervalued piece of news. We need to get rid of the remaining autocracies of this world.

Are there better options for $35? I'm fine with the seller being an unknown Chinese company.

Saving this. If it works, it's spectacular. And using it for Revolut, they're horrible scammers.
Re:Ask HN: What board games are you playing? on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @01:01PM (#20032012)
#1 would be Through The Ages for me, the newer edition. But only if played 1v1 because it's too bothersome waiting for 2 or 3 other people. Also, I don't have that many friends.

Cool logo and domain you got there. I like the idea of using your own Gmail account in order to send the emails, there's no better way that I know of to bypass SPAM filters.
Re:Moloch: A new DAO aims to fix Ethereum on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @12:54PM (#20031950)
It's not easy to wrap my head around this one. So its purpose is to fund development around Ethereum, therefore the most likely to join it with ETH funds would be teams building dapps on Ethereum, or developing the protocol itself? Or rich people, that are also rich in ETH.
