You might not want to log in to both systems. For this specific case a link can still be used to the service that permits adding comments, that you are logged in to already, without needing to use third-party cookies.

Furthermore, cookies are not a very good way of doing logins. There are other problems with them, including of stealing them if someone else takes over the service, and of difficulty of users knowing what they are if they want to modify or delete specific cookies, and that the server must set the expiry which makes it difficult for end users to control. Methods that are controlled by the end user would be better.

Other methods of authentication can include:

- HTTP basic and digest authentication (which has some of the same problems).

- Two-factor authentication, which has many problems (especially if they are badly implemented).

- HMAC. For things that only require authentication for write access and that are idempotent, it should be safe whether or not the connection is encrypted. A proxy could spy on the operation but can only use it to do the same operation that you had just done, and cannot be used to do any other operation. However, these characteristics are not valid for all systems; e.g. it does not prevent replay and does not prevent spying on what you are doing. For uploading files to a server that are never changed or deleted, if the files are public anyways, and anyone already knows who uploaded them and when, and if nothing else is done with this authentication, then HMAC will work.

- X.509 client certificates. This requires TLS, although many servers already do anyways (although I think that for things that do not require authentication, the TLS should be optional instead). This is secure; if a server obtains a copy of your certificate they cannot use it to impersonate you. Furthermore, X.509 can be used to log in to multiple services without needing an authentication server, and a kind of 2FA is possible if the private key is passworded (and the server you are logging in to will never see the private key or the password). Also, it can be signed by a different issuer certificate that has a different key (the issuer certificate is normally someone else but could also be controlled by yourself as well if you want to); you could store the private key of the issuer certificate in a separate computer not connected to the internet (possibly in addition to being passworded), providing some additional protection if the subject certificate is compromised. There are many other benefits as well.

Screen-recording Anukari has been a bit of a challenge, as OBS works best while using GPU encoding, and also seems to do things that the GPU doesn't like in general (and Anukari uses the GPU). I suspect what you're hearing in the videos has to do with that. But also I'm sure that the model for the mic compression could be improved, and I'm not sure about the default attack time, etc.

GitHub-style PRs are the worst way of reviewing changes, except (in practice, if not in theory) for all the others :P.

When my then-employer first stated using git, I managed to convince them to set up Gerrit -- I had my own personal Gerrit instance running at home, it was great. I think it lasted about a year before the popularity factor kicked in and we switched to GitLab.

At least part of the difficulty is that approximately everyone who would need to learn how to use a new mechanism is already familiar with PRs. And folk new to the industry learn pretty quickly that it's normal and "easy". The cultural inertia is immense, and that means we're much more likely to evolve our way out of the hole (or switch to a completely different paradigm) than we are to en-mass switch to a different way of working that's still Git.

There are ways to make the PR experience more reasonable; GitHub has introduced stacked PRs which queue up. Even without that, I find disabling merge commits puts my team in a sweet spot where even if I'd prefer Gerrit, I'm not tearing my hair out and neither are the rest of my team who (mostly) don't care all that much.

> Initial Disclosure: After extensive research, we believe the evidence justifies a short position in shares of Backblaze (NASDAQ: BLZE). Morpheus Research holds short positions in BLZE, and Morpheus Research may profit from short positions held by others. This report represents our opinion, and we encourage all readers to do their own due diligence. Please see our full disclaimer at the bottom of the report.

Although I appreciate that they included this, I can't help but feel it would have been more apparent if this statement had been included before the bullet points of the article. By the point I saw that statement, I had already formed an opinion on Backblaze. Although I am not saying Morpheus has done anything inherently dishonest, I do think the placement was intentional, and that it would have served the readership better if it had been the first thing that readers see.

Hmm, thanks for going into detail. My point wasn't so much that you can experience everything a city has to offer in a corporate park. It was more that most US cities offer roughly the same things.

I know I can get Greek and Asian food in both St. Louis and Denver. I just confirmed that both cities have Greek places with Taramosalata; I know from dating a Chinese girl for a year that both of those cities have extremely authentic Asian places. I've seen gay men walking around in at least Denver and Calgary (not even US).

Now, being able to browse and buy a Nigerian movie at a gas station instead of needing to get it online is something that might qualify if it's truly exclusive to DC. The techie "tent city" in California is probably unique to California, you've got me on that one.

Having visited plenty of U.S. history/military/science/etc museums across several midwestern/western states, those could probably be argued either way. On one hand, of course every museum will have different artifacts/exhibits/etc that mean it's not quite the same at every one, and there are individual facts that you could learn at one but not another. On the other hand, I think the likelihood of coming across something in a US museum that noticeably expands my human experience is lower than the likelihood of that happening in another continent's museums.

Sure, you can do a lot of things here... stuff in [brackets] isn't sung.

For example I was trying to steer a melodic techno prompt recently in a better direction by putting stuff like this upfront:

[intro - dramatic synths, pulsing techno bass] [organic percussive samples] [rolling galloping pulsing gritty bassline] [soaring experimental synths, modulation heavy, echos, sound design, 3d sound] [lush atmosphere, variation] [hypnotic groovy arppegiation arps] [sampled repetitive trippy vocal]

All of this is just stuff I kind of made up and wanted in the song, but it meaningfully improved the output over just tags. I think "steering/nudging the generation space" is a decent idea for how I feel like this affects the output.

I also often use them to structure things around song structure like [intro], [break], [chorus], and even get more descriptive with these describing things or moments I'd like to happen. Again adherence is not perfect, but seems to help steer things.

One of my favorite tags I've seen is [Suck the entire song through vacuum] and well... I choose to believe, check out 1:29 https://suno.com/s/xdIDhlKQUed0Dp1I

Worth playing around with a bunch, especially if you're not quite getting something interesting or in the direction you want.

Good for him ? First, I thought the AI was materializing her projections - but actually, she chose to relate with ChatGPT (!) in conspiring against him - which obviously must have to take advantage of that opportunity and some leaves chains in a cup happen to be aligned or weighted so, so well. For them, fallen under control of such factors.. - can they escape from it after all somehow, if they want ? - or, better maybe.. shall they be happy for the wish they/she granted, deserving it, granted by ?? ;)

So now, "" it's some of third Popper world frozen unequivalently at a past time.. [slope shaped..] - since then, * IT * self-repeat and decide usurping about us already in such a way.. .

btw elsewhere now it happen [flagged, overtake]. The next ? (.) (modus operandi?) .?

The "hungry judge" finding did not replicate [0], and the original paper had serious methodological flaws, namely, that prisoners with parole hearings later in the day were more likely to have either overworked "shared counsel" (the Israeli equivalent of public defenders) or no counsel at all [1]. You should consider the hungry judge effect another debunked victim of the replication crisis.

I'm not necessarily arguing it should be one way or another, just clarifying what photon_rancher was saying about the offline behavior extending past just RDP login.

As for the article's stance: keep in mind RDP to any user account isn't necessarily automatically required to fix it. In general even, it's a tradeoff one makes when deciding between fail open and secure. There likely isn't a "right" and "wrong" answer here, neither approach is going to make everyone happy. Unsurprisingly, the security researcher is unhappy the needle doesn't lean more in the direction of security.

AI art is like a photoshop drawing. If it's done by someone who sucks, which are most users if the tool is accessible enough, you will just think "That's a bad photoshop drawing". You will recognize the standard tools, the standard brushes, bad masking – all the stuff that is easy to do and that everyone will do.

That's not a tool issue. It just means that working on a raised floor is not the same a being able to reach a higher ceiling.

I was absolutely impressed/puzzled by the Leningrad Cowboys as a kid.

In the mid-2000s, J. Karjalainen (a Finnish musician) put out a concept album called Lännen-Jukka. If you like Blues, it's worth checking out. YLE, the Finnish media network, put out a documentary on it. Karjalainen travels through the US including significant time in Upper Michigan, where many Finns settled a hundred years ago (and more recently).

Another thing I remember is that while here, Karjalainen & his bandmates were detained by the TSA at Minneapolis St Paul airport and treated rather poorly. Apparently TSA thought they were gonna overstay their visas in the US and try to "make it big in music". It was very bizarre.

Recent events made me think of that again.

Guaranteed QoS isn’t perfect:

1. Neighbours can be noisy to the other hyperthread on the same CPU. For example, heavy usage of avx-512 and other vectorized instructions can affect a tenant running on the same core but different hyperthread. You can disable hyperthreading, but now you are making the same tradeoff where you are sacrificing efficiency for low tail latencies.

2. There are certain locks in the kernel which can be exhausted by certain behaviour of a single tenant. For example, on kernel 5.15 there was one global kernel lock for cgroup resource accounting. If you have a tenant which is constantly hitting cgroup limits it increases lock contention in the kernel which slows down other tenants on the system which also use the same locks. This particular issue with cgroups accounting has been improved in later kernels.

3. If your latency sensitive service runs on the same cores which service IRQs, the tail latency can greatly increase when there are heavy IRQ load, for example high speed NIC IRQs. You can isolate those CPUs from the pool of CPUs offered to pods, but now you are dedicating 4-8 CPUs to just process interrupts. Ideally you could run the non-guaranteed pods on the CPUs which service IRQs, but that is not supported by kubernetes.

4. During full node memory pressure, the kernel does not respect memory.min and will reclaim pages of guaranteed QoS workloads.

5. The current implementation of memory QoS does not adjust memory.max of the burstable pod slice, so bursable pods can take up the entire free memory of the kubepods slice which starves new memory allocations from guaranteed pods.

Dont even get me started on NUMA issues.

No I havent, maybe its worth trying. Adderall worked so well for me initially I didnt want to experiment but yeah over time the negatives have outweighed the positives. I mean seriously first day 5mg worked better than 20mg a month or two later

I imagine the tolerance thing holds with all drugs so Im surprised people say it works for them long term (maybe placebo, or they're comparing it to withdrawal "Ive been on adderall for 10 years, if I go a day without it I feel like shit and cant function, so it works!" but maybe...

That is fair; I think the reality is nuanced and that different opinions existed at the same time and were warring internally in the Soviet Union. In particular, IIUC, Trotsky thought that "a socialist revolution must spread internationally to succeed and cannot be confined to one nation" (OpenAI) - but he was also assassinated by Stalin's order, and the assassin was honored by Brezhnev. Stalin was assassinated as well.

It's a great tragedy if they felt threatened by capitalism, and capitalism by communism, in a self-perpetuating way that could have been avoided.

But I would argue that capitalism has its roots in aristocracy, imperialism, and private ownership (i.e. slavery, colonialism, and systemic exploitation), to an extent that it is fair to say that capitalism cannot co-exist with communist ideals.

But yes, European countries were heavily influenced by communist ideology, which continues to shape our values today, about well-regulated free markets, fair taxation, public service, and so on, which directly threatened capitalist interests, and arguably that's why we're seeing a rise in fascism, in an attempt to remove these communist ideals.

To be clear, I am confused on this matter, but I do think that the Europeans have been foolish to follow US doctrine for the last 50 years (since Reagan/Thatcher), and especially the last 10-20 years have been devastating on virtually every sector of the economy.

> I've always been a very good / fast reader, which has been incredibly useful in my programming career. I had a good SAT math score (710) but got a perfect score (800) on the SAT verbal (in the late 90s).

This is me and also many of the CS students in my cohort, and AFAIK something that universities actively selected for, and students also self-selected around in an era of RTFM/MUDs/IRC before LLMs or youtube. The best programmers I've worked with are still always very linguistically brained.. polyglots even when they didn't have to be, or with a long track record of engaging with difficult literature. If nothing else.. just very witty in that certain way that's meta-cognitive, meta-linguistic.

This is still true I think but it's much harder see out in the wild due to the degree/career trajectory popularity. Plus as long we're optimizing for leet-coding even though built-from-scratch algorithms are a very rare need compared to skills with good design/exposition.. naturally the math-brain is favored.

When something is off, way off, or you can't find a plausible explanation, that means it is a long term thing not in the general populace's sight, yet. It comes later, might be a move in order to pave way for something or moving something out of the way for something.

The big corps are NOT autonomous, they are moved around like chess pieces. They are tentacles of a bigger entity, whatever that is.

> Why do you think a trucker would risk life or even their truck in a highway robbery?

That's an armed robbery whereas stealing from a robo-truck is more like breaking and entering. Robberies require the willingness and ability to commit violence. Having a human witness present means more risk of things going wrong, even if they don't intervene. I think all these factors prevent a lot of potential crimes.

I don't know. Scrolling the Sora image generations feed is pretty fun.

It's got trendy memes, lots of mashups, and cool art. They've also managed to capture social media outrage bait on the platform: conservatives vs. liberals, Christians vs. atheists, and a whole other host of divisive issues that are interspersed throughout the feed. I think they have a social media play in the bag if they pursue it.

It feels like Sora could replace Instagram.

I think it's cool that you're experimenting in this area, but I'm not a huge fan of this as answer to a question about responsible/respectful web crawling.

Honourable mentions to Barbara Wojirsch, creator of the house style of the ECM Scandi jazz label, which is a cleaner descendant of some of the 50s styles.

https://ecmrecords.com/

Also Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson of Hypgnosis, who created a long line of definitive covers for artists from the 70s and 80s, including Pink Floyd. (I met Thorgerson once. He was notorious for being a complete arse - and so it proved. Unique talent though.)

Look at the flack they're getting for defending themselves. This was after the scope and scale of that initial Hamas attack, which kicked everything off. Now imagine the flack if they blew up all those pagers (and the associated collateral damage) without a war under way.

I think if the war didn't happen, they would have targeted high-profile people all at once, but with minimal collateral damage, leaving the rest of the pagers un-triggered.

So why aren't trains automated yet? I mean, beside the inter-airport shuttles. Seems like a much more constrained set of parameters to deal with. I'd think this would be a good "first" project to tackle for an AV company, even if the economics of replacing locomotive drivers/engineers weren't super compelling. Is it an insurance thing? Because a train wreck could be much more disastrous and costly? Or is it a union thing? Others?

> Philosophy’s logical conclusions are relativism and nihilism

Some philosophers, notably Jacobi [1], have argued this (he is credited with popularizing the term nihilism). He was arguing against enlightenment thinkers, especially Spinoza and Kant (and the rest of German Idealism). But one philosopher's conjecture isn't equal in any sense to some unequivocal stance of "Philosophy". It is worth noting, that he was arguing for "Faith" instead of speculative reason, so maybe not what you would think.

So your point is true in a very limited sense. Some philosophers have argued against some particular philosophies by suggesting that the particular philosophy they are criticizing is likely to lead to relativism and nihilism.

There is also just turn over, from my understanding from a former co-worker who had a kid go into truck driving, that truck drivers very rarely stay at the same company long term. New drivers get their training paid for and have an obligation to fill (ex walmart pays for training and pays you while you do it, but you have a 2-3 year obligation to them). Once they do that, they move on to another company. I am assuming for better pay and benefits. And even then, swapping companies is pretty common. Then also a good number stack enough money to buy their own truck and contract. I had a neighbor growing up who owned his own semi and worked on contract.

Also important is simply that the AI is not human.

We all know that however "non-judgmental" another human claims to be, they are having all kinds of private reactions and thoughts that they aren't sharing. And we can't turn off the circuits that want approval and status from other humans (even strangers), so it's basically impossible not to mask and filter to some extent.

Unicode is not the only character set (or the best one); this is a falsehood programmers believe about character sets (I wrote a list of this too but I do not remember if I had published it). However, that is not the most severe issue, due to the other things mentioned, such as if people do not have names (or if there are multiple ways to enter them, or if people sometimes change their name, or have the same name as other people, etc).
