> Search for "AMD PSP".

To quote https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14803645

"AMD seems not to use the brand name "AMD PSP" anymore. Instead some years ago they began to use the name "AMD Secure Processor". Nevertheless it is just the same: Read the small footnote at http://www.amd.com/en-gb/innovations/software-technologies/s... which begins with 'AMD Secure Processor (formerly “Platform Security Processor” or “PSP”)'."
It's putting spin on old technology. This all sounds like something that could have been done in the 70s, and was mainstream in the 80s.

The dashboards are probably way prettier now though.

It is very convenient and easy to define the problem as historical as you don't need to prove anything. Linking to an Wikipedia article that do not says the statement you want to quote is also a nice touch for an article about science.

There is a correlation between hight and power, where people of less hight has been marginalized from positions of power[1] at least for as the written history.

So in a satirical statement, I will now make a scientific claim that bias in promotion of people with less hight is the problem and thus people should be given special shoes during the hiring process in order to solve the problem. No need to bring data other than the historical proof. Science is done here.

If you show me research showing how socitey confers more power to people of smaller hight, then that would be something to consider. Only that data is worthy of consideration, and as you can't do that, we can just conclude that I am right and you are wrong.

I think this is quite an interesting idea, although there are probably endless reasons why it couldn't work in practice.

It reminds me of the advice to start arguing with others in your group if you're mugged, or to start singing, or anything similarly absurd.
There's a fine line between mad and truly irrational though. If your opponents truly believe that you are irrational and volatile then their most rational response should be to do anything in their power to neutralise you before you can harm them.

A second's notice is impractical - unless there's already a war underway, you'd be lucky to land strikes within a quarter hour. More likely effective would be counter-battery fire directed by radar, which we (and by extension South Korea) probably do as well as anyone in the world.

The most accurate counter-battery fire in the world can't take shells out of the air, though. Sufficiently well drilled and supplied NK gun crews would most likely be able to fire several rounds each before the first return fire arrived. And even if they weren't, at least one salvo would have to go out for the counter-battery radars to lay their guns at all, whereas the cities targeted by NK in this scenario don't move around much, and could be precisely targeted before the first fire mission commenced.

Twenty million in minutes is implausible. Twenty or thirty thousand isn't, and no preemptive option exists; to even hope to have a realistic shot at forestalling significant civilian casualties, we'd not only have to start the war nobody wants, but do it with utmost ferocity, crossing the DMZ like the Wehrmacht heading for the English Channel.

But even that wouldn't work; NK espionage assets would certainly notice the necessary concentration of force - all they'd have to do would be to watch the news stories about World War II-scale transports suddenly heading west across the Pacific from every military port on the US West Coast - and the NK regime, mad though it be, could hardly fail to draw the obvious conclusion and respond accordingly. There's no way in the modern world to achieve the kind of strategic surprise such blitzkrieg requires - not, at least, without pulling off the kind of deception that Tom Clancy wouldn't have dared write into a novel.
Scamming gullible people out of their retirements is probably easier than doing hard work, that's true.

When writing Korean names, like Chinese and probably others, the last name comes first, and more often than not that holds true when they're written in English, too. So his last name is Kim and his given name is Jong-Un. Separating the two syllables of the given name makes no sense, as in "Mr. Un". Mr. Jong-Un would be more appropriate, but Mr. Kim would be even more appropriate, as in Korean you don't refer to someone as "Mr. GivenName".
I spent a decade both as a "gig" consultant and as a "real" consultant. Here are the differences I saw between the two.

"Gig" consulting - You are a skillset for hire or the client is simply short on ppl to do the work. You are selling labor. While you have skillsets, the client needs you for a very specific project/product and they manage you in context of that project. You are two hands on a keyboard with bonus points if you have a brain.

"Real" consulting - You come in with a "solution" which the client needs or think they need. You are selling knowledge. They don't even know how to begin and you are the brains of the operation. You are hired less on your skillset and more for the IP you bring with you. The IP may be a process for how to get from A to B or training materials along with work sessions with a team etc. Yes, development may be part of the engagement but it's not what's actually being bought nor is it what you sell.

To be able to hire ppl who do the work, it's very important to disconnect the "who" is doing the work from the product itself. If you are selling a skillset, the "who" performs the work quickly becomes a sticking point. If you are selling a final product, an outcome...the who is less relevant.

While many "real" consultants bill hourly, many of the bigger consulting companies sell "projects" and then make money on the margin. You can charge more for knowledge than labor because knowledge is harder to valuate in $ than an hour of labor is.

I.e. a friend of mine would sell white papers on particular topics within his expertise customized to the clients use cases. So, $200 hourly for coming in, meeting everyone, taking notes on needs, use case, meeting with CxO levels on concerns and goals etc. Spend 5 hours updating a pre-made template with most of the boiler plate info plus client specific stuff and charge 20K + hourly billing for the finished paper of maybe 20 pages. Usually these would support whatever agenda some CxO at the company wanted to push and needed "industry expertise", "best practices" and "market research" to back it up.

Selling a product vs your billable time makes consulting scale better in terms of revenues.
You can use an even better example, Ukraine.

The Ukraine gave up their nuclear weaponry, with a promise from the west that we’d protect them.

Only a few years later, Russia is invading the Ukraine right now, and we all don’t do shit.
If you're an engineer working for a dictator, empowering him with offensive (or defensive) technologies, you absolutely need to expect foreign intelligence agencies' attention, up to and including assassination. This is quite literally those agencies' raison d'être.

Well not outright false. The OP said "he", presumably referencing Kim Jong-un. At that time it'd not been him, but Kim Jong-il...
Uhhh... what made PD important was that it was, precisely, the extreme of non-cooperation; a situation where cooperation was logically possible, but not rational. EVERY other game where cooperation is at least possible is better at promoting cooperation, not just one. If peeps have thought iterated PDs are the acme of cooperation, that's pretty crazy, too.
During the Vietnam war (or the American war, depending on your perspective) the North Vietnamese got very skilled at concealing artillery pieces, even inside caves, and then rolling them out, blasting off a few rounds, and whipping them away again.

I don't think there's currently any kind of instant-reaction force that could deal with the low tech threat of thousands of simple guns all firing simultaneously.

Well, except for nukes.
This is an area where I think the Coast Guard does a decent job. We have a program called Team Coordination Training[0] which, while monotonous and annoying to those who have to take it every year, aims to instruct students on the importance of clear, non-punitive communication between all members of a crew or team to ensure maximum situational awareness. Some implementations of the training are better than others, but the intent is good, and is a more useful tool than generic risk assessment models that are frequently blown off in practice.

I think that the most important and engaging components of conflict are "mystery" and "anticipation". Playing those out with a deliberate antagonist just happens to be an easy go-to way of encapsulating that, playing with the mystery of what he's got up his sleeve and anticipating when they finally clash.

But these components of conflict do not require an antagonist "character" per se. The conflict can be survival, overcoming disease, making that next promotion, getting the girl/guy, not knowing what happened to bring the world to the condition it's in, etc.

Or they can be applied in simple charm or humor, but those still need a setup and payoff of some sort. The "setup" here still sets up a conflict of some type, just not necessarily of the antagonistic flavor.

So I would disagree that there's no "conflict", but rather there is a lack of a specific antagonist character.

NHK just reported on TV it passed directly over Hokkaido, but landed 1200km straight east of Hokkaido in the sea.
I hadn't heard about micromorts before, thanks! That's definitely an interesting and valuable unit for comparison. It adds perspective to the fatalities per year.

I'd add that looking at participation-hours is another interesting way to look at it.

For example, my average day skydiving was 3-10 jumps. So I might have spent up to 80 micromorts in a day. But a freefall is at most 60 seconds, so I could also say I spent 80 micromorts in 10 minutes. Hang-gliding is something you only do maybe once or twice in a day, with flight times being 30-60 minutes.

It might not be fair to use participation hours for various reasons, but if you do slice it that way, skydiving looks a lot more dangerous.

They should be correlated. It’s difficult (or near impossible) to interpret the underlying convolutional features, but one can assume they are recognizing basic image descriptors like intensities and shapes. They are rescaled to a size that would deemphasize complex descriptors like texture. Likewise, they are single-channel so that would deemphasize color features.

But you CAN make a loop that looks as simple as the Python example; Python just happens to provide one built in, right? The Python code holds the thread for the entire duration just like the Node one will hold the event loop. Wouldn't the Python loop cause the same problems as the node one in an evented app, say, a Twister app? (sorry my Python is a few years rusty)

The ideal would be just as performant as the sync Python code, but effectively async. And his observation that async iterators by design can't do it without severe overhead for such tight inner loops is very good.

and, so, to drive user adoption you aren't required as a rule to shorten the time-to-accomplish-distance between the two elements of the first challenge / reward, there is such thing as making it too easy, as growth / prowess also drive adoption. Instead, look to creating a clear path to accomplish the first few tasks, that is, those tasks that pretty much every user will want to do to early on "get in the game."

I am referring to a governor which would prevent cars from being capable of 10MPH even on empty roads. Actual in town speed limits would presumably be lower. Now, with our infrastructure that seems like a huge issue, but cites used to be built for walking and even small towns simply had vastly higher density.

Watch this and suddenly those mentioned speed limits are completely reasonable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=954L9MpfCEo

Note, 10MPH would allow for 2-3x the speed of a horse over long distances. So, in this alternate history cars would still have been very useful.

There are many automotive "auto-brake" systems, usually controlled by a radar. Those are useful. They're usually programmed to act only when a collision is inevitable. They prevent some slow-speed collisions, and reduce the damage in some faster ones.

I'm in the same boat as the GP, in that I want to use Rust for a lot of things that I think it would be good at, but I don't get to choose my high priority tasks. And for me at least, my high priority tasks are not the tasks that benefit from Rust over other languages.

Having tried both Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, I have to say Kubernetes has a much steeper learning curve but is a much more stable and consistent tool that focuses on its set boundaries.

Mesos is sometimes referred to as an alternative, but in reality, it's more of a lower level OS for the server workload than a container native orchestration utility.

I think using Kubernetes as a backend for any FaaS (and in particular OpenFaaS) is a great idea. Can't wait to try it out.

As you say, if we had it, we'd say so. But we don't, and neither does anyone else.

Yeah, but the skills that country needs are concentrated in a few brains. That's a weak point that's easy to exploit. And deniable. Iran's got no shortage of intellectuals. A couple of nuclear scientists going away won't move the needle.

Also, Iran is not one of "those kinds of regimes". It's one of the better countries to live in in the middle east. Apparently it's a cool place to visit too. US allies like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc. are worse.

> - The agent must have a good chance of competing against the opponent more than once.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I was wondering how much the population size and matching algorithm in the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma matter to the strategy outcome. I suspect it's quite a lot, given that if you never play the same opponent again, strategies that defect often should come out quite well, but if you always play the same opponent, strategies that cooperate should do well. If grouping is bought into the system, such that there are multiple levels of subgroups with the smaller the group both are members in having higher chances of replaying in the same round, you might see interesting emergent behavior.

I also wonder if that might allow for special elements (the "sociopath") to have interesting divergent strategies that work well as long as they don't achieve more than a small fraction of the total population and keep a relatively large amount of interactions to strangers.
> Key points

> Quant trading pays very well, plateauing at between $300,000 and $10m a year after five to ten years, depending on performance. This of course allows for very large annual donations.

> The job is highly intellectually challenging, and most staff are very satisfied with their work. Turnover in the firms is very low. The culture is quite geeky – nothing like the aggressive and showy stereotype of some parts of finance. The work is highly collaborative and good teamwork skills are vital.

> There are arguments both that quant trading is socially useful, and that it is socially harmful. Having investigated these, Alex thinks that it is highly likely to be beneficial for the world. Rob is less confident, but still leans towards thinking it is net positive. Both explain their perspectives and consider some potential downsides.

> The most common majors to study to get into the industry are maths, computer science and physics, but people with the necessary abilities can apply from many other fields too. The key trait they look for is “evidence of general problem solving, or puzzle solving, or analytical thinking”. Coding isn’t necessary as it is taught to you.

> While very competitive, the application process is quite straightforward, so it’s worth a shot for many people.
The thing is, NK has one of the largest military in the world and can fire 200,000 or so rounds of mortars, tanks, rockets whatever to Seoul within 5 mins. A missile system can maybe defend 10,000 during that time? Just a back of the envelope calculation.
Unfortunately, if you live somewhere where it gets legitimately hot outside or your commute involves a substantial hill, sweating is non-optional. I work in San Francisco so the weather is good for biking, but my apartment is at the top of a big hill. I do bike to work, but on the way home I often work up a sweat and have to change. However, I did recently order an e-bike which I'm very excited about to avoid that issue!
You're right about converting init files not being a problem. Looking back, it was a stupid statement on my part. Even converting the few services I run to nosh/s6/runit/etc. from systemd wouldn't be a problem... and it would be fun.

What I really want to say is: Arch is heavily tied to systemd and I don't want to use any systemd-based distro, even if I can run something alongside it.
