I'm actually surprised Claude was about to do that much.

I hadn't even considered handing it a visual mockup to work from. Event though that workflow is par for the course for any web design team.

I would assume there must be at least some prior work into locating individual assets in a larger canvas. It just needs to be integrated into the pipeline.


Major nitpick: ARK is not a hedge fund but an ETF. My understanding is that it tracks an actively managed list of public stocks.

I'm sure it's not much consolation, but "actual" hedge funds are for the sophisticated investor. These funds have access to more sophisticated ways of wiping out investor money.


You're right. Cathie Wood's ARK is all about "disruptive innovation". It's no surprise to see the fund falling after tech. stocks were so grossly inflated.

As an investment strategy, it's a long-term play. Whether the holdings make sense is a whole other question. But don't expect a huge change in strategy just because the markets are down.


Is this about the old DEC Alpha?


yes


Microsoft offering the Windows ISO for download is a recent addition.

If you had to restore a PC 10 years ago, your only options were to obtain a restore disk from the PC manufacturer, use a restore partition on the HDD (assuming it was intact) or buy Windows.

In the past, I had to get restore disk images on BitTorrent to fix friends computers.


Independent discovery don't happen overnight. Intel must have been aware of these vulnerabilities for some time.

edit: I'm sure everyone involved acted responsibly. I'm just curious as how far apart these independent discoveries were made.

The bug has been around forever, but it must have been discovered relatively recently since it's not fixed in hardware yet.

I've always been baffled by the concept of simultaneous discovery.


The Spectre paper includes this line in the acknowledgements:

> We would like to thank Intel for their professional handling of this issue through communicating a clear timeline and connecting all involved researchers.


So Google people and the Germans were working on the same thing without knowing of each other until Intel connected them?


Graz is in Austria, but considering these things are usually kept quiet quite long: probably yes


Google project zero blog says: We reported this issue to Intel, AMD and ARM on 2017-06-01


We talked about NSA and how people are leaving for greener pastures. Wondered two things:

1) Have any of them ended up in Project Zero or working on stuff like this

2) Wonder if NSA knew about this vulnerability and now someone there in a windowless office is sighing saying to themselves "Welp, another backdoor we can't use".


For the cloud providers it's the security of the hypervisor that's at stake.


How is Uber any different than taking a taxi to the hospital?


If Uber says 5 minutes, it might be 7, or even possibly 15 if things go very, very wrong. Heck, if it's gonna be 15 you know this ahead of time because you can see the driver making wrong turns.

If you call a taxi service, and they say "15 minutes," it could be 30, 45, or 60. Maybe they're mussing with the truth, maybe they're outright lying. You don't know, and without the map showing the driver, you have no way of knowing.


A lot of modern taxi services have apps (often written by just a few big shops and contracted/branded out, but still). So you can start to get some of the same assurances from Taxis that you could get from Uber.

Also even before Uber/apps, I never had a problem with calling a Taxi and it not showing up within a few min, and I've lived a lot of places.


I've called a taxi three times in my life.

The first time was in 2012 because Microsoft was paying for it. It was from downtown Bellevue (so not an obscure place). I called them, they estimated 15 minutes, and it took them 40 minutes to show up. I'd never called a taxi before so I didn't realize this was normal; I called them back a few times to ask what was wrong, and they just said "soon!"

The second time was in 2015 in a country that didn't have Uber. They had an app. The app didn't work. They also didn't answer the phone. I tried multiple times, including an hour later after eating lunch. I gave up and spent 50 minutes walking home in ridiculous heat.

The third time was in 2016 because it was in a small town in the US that didn't have Uber. They did have an app. Their "app" displayed a phone number and told me to call it. That was the entire app. I called it, they estimated 30 minutes and showed up in 45 minutes, and they charged me $40 for a ten minute ride. Small town so I can understand the wait, but the price was definitely because they knew I had no other choice.

Meanwhile, I get annoyed when Ubers take longer than 5 minutes to show up because they take wrong turns.

I think it's definitely a matter of luck and location. Some places have horrible taxi services, some places have okay taxi services. Some places only have okay taxi services now because of competition from Uber. Ubers are still nearly always a huge margin better.


I guess you never tried to get a taxi in SF, then. Pre-Uber, attempting to hail one could leave you standing in the street for several tens of minutes, and calling a dispatcher would get you the universal estimate of 20 minutes, which in reality would be 40 minutes or more, assuming they actually showed up, which was a tossup.


Also, I could imagine a series of accidents where explaining to a Taxi where you were and where you needed to be might be physically difficult.

You can call an uber (or lyft) for your destination, with a few finger taps.

(*And the driver will know who they are looking for visually, as well.)


Wasn't Verisign the very first CA business? How the mighty have fallen!


I doesn't say but this is for the Mac.


An unnecessary comment, everyone on HN uses Macs.

Yeah, it does indeed. Would love to see a solution for reliably starting that thing at system startup. Also, would be nice to be able to pause it for a period of time.


Launchd is your friend here. Good tutorial: http://www.launchd.info/


Thank you, stranger!



Also, it would be better if the solutions to both of those problems don't involve using a mouse.


Totally, I hate seeing my screen blinking.
