I didn't have that experinece; it's been pleasant for me (there was a billing snafu while they changed their plan structure but it was resolved with a support email) and their monitoring has been very reliable since I signed up a year ago. Their service also seems to be better (4 checks/locations vs Uptrend's 2.)<p>Anyway, tl;dr is I never had an issue that resulted in not getting alerted about something that I needed to be alerted about, which, above all else, is the point of their offering. | null | null | 41,811,025 | 41,809,879 | null | null | null | null |

Every time we have launched a mission into deep space we have learnt more as a species about what makes Earth 'tick'. We can also do a lot without actual space travel - maybe if more people had heeded the observations of the greenhouse effect on Venus in the 60s, for instance, we would have less of an issue cleaning up our own atmosphere now.<p>I'm not confident that our place is in the stars, but it would be narrow-minded not to give living out there a go. | null | null | 41,808,340 | 41,807,681 | null | [

Not so much the armor and detainment capabilities.<p>If it’s known they don’t pursue and aren’t likely to attack <i>you</i> to secure an arrest, the risk for them <i>from the person they’re stopping</i> (traffic on the e.g. highway they’re standing next to is another matter) in an encounter is a ton lower. Why fight them when you can just leave? And rack up another charge, sure, but one a hell of a lot less serious than attacking someone and <i>then still fleeing</i>.<p>It does mean calling in a regular cop for arrests, but what proportion of stops result in arrests in a day? They also have to call in tow trucks and ambulances and fire trucks. | null | null | 41,811,160 | 41,810,627 | null | null | null | null |

And in that light it makes sense that she's become an influencer who makes content instead of someone who devotes most of their time to advancing the science. Yes, oftentimes people will be paid to work on problems, and they'll end up in a cul-de-sac. That will be the case for the majority of the field in the case of something like quantum physics. But if we pay enough of these people to sit in rooms and work on problems, maybe one of them will figure something out. That's how science progresses. | null | null | 41,808,127 | 41,808,127 | null | [

41,811,333 | comment | lcnPylGDnU4H9OF | 2024-10-11T17:15:12 | null | For the 99% user, they're a huge step up in security. The <i>password</i> many will use for <i>every site</i> is itself a single point of failure on top of often being an incredibly guessable thing like "password" or "abc123". It being the same password for everything poses the security risk that a compromise of one company's data exposes your password for another company.<p>Now they can be told they only have to remember a single password and that makes a difference, though it does need to be stressed that this particular password should be more secure than "password". They remember a single password -- which is ideally hard to guess -- then copy the randomly generated password for whatever account and paste it in the login form.<p>A real worry is the possibility of a password manager service being compromised. However, these companies hire security experts and do regular audits of their systems and practices, which, when compared to the opsec of those who choose "password" for their password, is obviously beneficial. So of course we collectively decided that single points of failure are "good"; they are far better than what we had before.<p>(Admittedly, perhaps one attack that's enabled is to discover services that are used by an individual via compromised data from the password manager service. I still get the feeling that such a compromise, even on a wide scale, is more easily done elsewhere.) | null | null | 41,806,819 | 41,801,883 | null | null | null | null |

return math.sqrt(get_big_number() - get_small_number())

I'll pick the first one every time.

41,811,364 | comment | otherjason | 2024-10-11T17:18:24 | null | For devices with compute capability of 7.0 or greater (anything from the Volta series on), a single thread block can address up to the entire shared memory size of the SM; the 48 kB limit that older hardware had is no more. Most contemporary applications are going to be running on hardware that doesn’t have the shared memory limit you mentioned.<p>The claim at the end of your post, suggesting that >1 block per SM is always better than 1 block per SM, isn’t strictly true either. In the example you gave, you’re limited to 60 blocks because the thread count of each block is too high. You could, for example, cut the blocks in half to yield 120 blocks. But each block has half as many threads in it, so you don’t automatically get any occupancy benefit by doing so.<p>When planning out the geometry of a CUDA thread grid, there are inherent tradeoffs between SM thread and/or warp scheduler limits, shared memory usage, register usage, and overall SM count, and those tradeoffs can be counterintuitive if you follow (admittedly, NVIDIA’s official) guidance that maximizing the thread count leads to optimal performance. | null | null | 41,809,498 | 41,808,013 | null | null | null | null |

Now if the debt is tied to a house (mortgage) or a car (car loan), you might lose the house/car if you don't pay, but you do not have an obligation to pay. Likewise failure to pay will not impact your credit.<p>So if I die in debt up to my eyeballs, and if I am sole signatory on those debts, I have only hurt my creditors, not my family.<p>caveats-- if my family was counting on the house and I have an unaffordable mortgage, then yes I have caused them harm. Likewise other irresponsible debts.<p>-- at the end of the chain, creditors are also people. It is their job to loan money at risk, so their loss is their problem, but this assumes I was dealing in good faith when I took the loan. | null | null | 41,811,001 | 41,809,879 | null | [

The abstract says nothing about AES or about any other similar encryption algorithm. It says only about a progress towards breaking RSA, i.e. that they have factorized a 22-bit number using a novel algorithm run on a D-Wave "quantum" (annealing) computer.<p>This is above what quantum computers can currently do, but it is a long way from breaking 2048-bit or 4096-bit RSA.<p>It has nothing to do with AES. In the parent article, unlike in the research paper, something completely different is described, which seems to be about breaking some toy block ciphers that have nothing to do with AES, but which also have a SPN (substitution-permutation network) structure.<p>SPN is a generic way of constructing an invertible function. Breaking any SPN cipher does not bring you any closer to breaking a different SPN cipher.<p>So nothing written there supports any danger to AES.<p>AES does have a particular algebraic structure, which makes breaking AES equivalent with solving a certain immense system of equations. There exists a very remote possibility that someone could discover an algorithm to solve this system of equations.<p>Nevertheless, in the unlikely event that this would happen, there are trivial modifications to AES that would have negligible or no effect on its performance, which would remove its equivalence with that system of equations, making impossible such mathematical attacks (such a change would be the substitution of some XOR operations from AES with integer additions; this needs only software changes for the applications run on computers with Intel/AMD or Arm CPUs). Therefore any such mathematical breakthrough would affect only the past recorded messages, because it would be easy to modify AES to keep secure the future communications. | null | null | 41,810,563 | 41,810,563 | null | null | null | null |

Yes, you would want to use keyboard-convenient glyphs to express this markup because the keyboard is the primary means by which a human inputs text into a computer, which itself is the primary means by which HTML documents are viewed. Also because HTML operates primarily within the context of typography, in other words, because the data that HTML marks up also consists of keyboard convenient glyphs. It only makes sense to use text glyphs to describe the transformation of text glyphs within the context of a textual medium of communication.<p>Even Markdown is essentially the same thing.

41,811,394 | comment | whatshisface | 2024-10-11T17:21:42 | null | If LQG turns out to be unworkable, we're back at string theory as the only renomalizable description of quantum gravity.<p>Quantum gravity research amounts to one professor per university faculty on average. Even in the worst case this would not be the crisis of unmet expectations it is made out to be... QG researchers are very brave because they are risking everything on the possibility that existing data constrains quantum gravity in a way that hasn't yet been understood. I doubt there is even a single person making that gamble unaware that the Planck energy density is something like 20 orders of magnitude above present-day experiments. | null | null | 41,808,127 | 41,808,127 | null | null | null | null |

41,811,398 | comment | Theodores | 2024-10-11T17:22:12 | null | ::backdrop was useful to me. Right now I am learning the last two years of stuff, refreshing my frontend skills. Things like scoping are a dream come true.<p>I haven't got all the way through it, but seeing the contents drop-down made me feel at home.<p>I put document structure first so the content looks good with no styling and no class attributes. I use no divs, just the more sensible elements. Sections, Articles, Asides and Navs work for me. There should be headings at the start of these elements, optionally in a Header and optionally ending with a Footer. The main structure is Header - Main - Footer.<p>Really there should be a need to keep it simple, and that begins with the document structure. It is then possible with scoping to style the elements within a block without having to use any classes except for at the top of a block.<p>It infuriates me that we have gone the other way to make everything more and more complex. We have turned something everyone should be able to work with into an outsourced cottage industry. Nowadays the tool chain needed for frontend development is stupid and a true barrier to entry. Whenever you look under the hood there is nothing but bloat.<p>My approach requires strict adherence to a document structure, however, my HTML content is fully human readable and the content looks great without a stylesheet, albeit HTML 1.0 pre-Netscape looking.<p>Tim Berners Lee did not have class attributes in HTML 1.0 but he did want content sectioning. Now that there is CSS grid it is easy to style up a structured document. However, 'sea of divs' HTML requires 'display: contents' to massage the simplest of form to fit into a grid.<p>I feel that a guide is needed for experienced frontend developers that are still churning out 'sea of div' content. In the Mozilla guide for 'div' it says that it is the element of last resort. I never need the 'div' because there is always something better.<p>The CSS compilers are also redundant when working with scoping and structured content. Sadly my IDE is out of date so I have to put the scoping in at the end as it does not recognise @scope. Time to upgrade...<p>Anyway, brilliant guide, in the right direction and of great interest to me and my peculiar way of writing super neat content and styling. | null | null | 41,804,410 | 41,801,334 | null | null | null | null |

That said, it's easy to believe these stories after dealing with support at any number of big tech companies. | null | null | 41,809,354 | 41,808,917 | null | null | null | null |
