You're absolutely right! There's a huge difference. One is a general solution to the general problem of how to move data around in an organized fashion and the other is a specific solution to the specific problem of wanting murderbots.

That said, the approach of some of the commentors here is that the only acceptable approach is to refuse to work on anything that could ever be "weaponized". It's possible that the distinction you've so clearly and correctly pointed to could stand to be more compatible with this stance.

Autonomous murderbots are highly likely to depend on network protocols, among other things.
>> I want to ask: why is Tesla's advanced suite of cameras and ultrasonic sensors unable to detect a big, yellow and black stationary barrier?

The answer to that is that sensors detect, but don't make decisions. The decisions are made by the car AI that takes input from the censors and outputs control signals.

So the pertinent answer is "why is Tesla's AI unable to make the decisions necessary to avoid a big, yellow and black stationary barrier?".

Unfortunately, nobody can answer that, including Tesla engineers, because their cars' AI is trained with black-box machine learning algorithms that are extremely resistant to any attempt to understand how they make decisions.

But, you know. I'm pretty sure they're really safe /s
> I don’t have children yet, but when I get children I hope to show them programming and involve them in what I do with computers and to show interest in what they are doing and to encourage them to be creative.

I had the same hope for my children (now 12 & 14), so I let them start using devices & playing games when they were 3 (even gave my older kid the first rev of the OLPC laptop). To a large degree, I regret the decision to start that early.

Nothing has gone the same way it did when I was a kid. I had a DOS machine with a couple of crappy games, and a BASIC interpreter. The only thing I could do is learn to program, it was the most exciting thing available.

Today, the absolute flood of high quality content in videos & games has basically prevented them from wanting to spend time figuring out low level details. They have options for spending their time that are so much better than I had that they basically can't choose to create. At least not yet.

My oldest has been talking about creating his own games for years, he's very curious, he's a super user of the OS's he has access too, his knowledge of game styles and history far exceeds mine (and I was a game dev for a decade). But when it comes down to spending time making things, he inevitably chooses to play an interesting game rather than learn coding. My younger son is almost as addicted to games, but has a simultaneous addiction to YouTube.

Recently I met a couple of extremely smart and creative kids whose parents (AI researchers) have completely and severely restricted their access to any devices at all. It got me wondering what the best way to encourage creativity is. Pushing too much will turn them off or make them resist, but a lack of any support can be even worse.

Making sure they have time where they're bored and don't have access to high quality and structured entertainment choices at all times currently seems like a good idea to me.

OTOH, they're growing out of some habits I was worried about, and maybe the best approach is just to set a good example and love and support them in whichever directions they want to go.
> software written by electrical engineers

I mentioned elsewhere in this thread that I did an EE/CS dual degree after having programmed for a long time beforehand. I really don't understand why, but some of the EE-only software I've worked with has been absolutely atrocious.

One of my favourite moments in undergrad was in my Digital Communications class. I don't remember exactly what we were doing, but it involved Matlab and some kind of signal decoding. I handed in my assignment and got called in to have a one-on-one with the professor; he was certain that I had cheated and just hard-coded the answers to my assignment instead of actually writing the decoder. Why? Because my code ran instantaneously instead of sitting and grinding for 30+ seconds. What was my secret? I'd seen a couple of triply-nested for loops in the code and decided they could all be accomplished with a matrix multiply instead of doing all of that computation by hand.

In the same class, a friend (also an EE/CS dual) and I came up with the dynamic programming solution to the Viterbi decoding problem as well, and again, got taken to task for having a solution that ran too fast. Sigh...

You recommend RBAC but then state that the k8s-dash starts with full permissions. That's not true at all when using RBAC. You need to define which namespaces, resources, etc get accessed. Right now with k8s if you deploy RBAC + k8s-dash (which is basically deprecated anyway) and don't set up its RBAC svc account you won't be able to view things in k8s without putting in your personal admin token because it would use the default service account which has no/very limited permissions.

Definitely suggest adding more RBAC examples to this. And things like ETCD w/SSL, etc.
Neighborhood I grew up in was like that. I had an Atari 2600, a friend had an Intellivision (with the speech synth module thing), and another had a ColecoVision. I don't remember why, but getting to play on the ColecoVision was a big deal. Parents didn't like him having people over or something.
Wow, I commented about this on the blog post, and they apparently deleted my comment. Cool.
What is your rationale behind that statement?
I find it impressive that they would even know they are '90% done'. Usually that's a good indication the person speaking has no clue about how long it will take to get it completed but they feel they have done a lot of work already. And then they hit a snag or some unforeseen obstacle and suddenly that 90% is unrealistically optimistic.
Fascinating that we have been having the same debate on surveillance for over 30 years.

If they could have foreseen Facebook, they would have been aghast.
>Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business.

Okay...

Consuming political news has empowered me to communicate with my elected representatives about policies that matter to me.

Consuming local news has kept me informed of important happenings in my community - including events that I attended and consider my self better off for going.

Consuming industry news has kept me up-to-date on the things that I need to stay aware of at my Cybersecurity job.

I find that consuming 24 hour TV news, or consuming and sharing lots of hyper-partisan political news is emotionally taxing. I don't do much of that. I occasionally watch my local news, but mostly consume local newspapers and neighborhood blogs to keep informed of what is happening in my community.

Everything else I read online, and I do consume news pretty much every day.

I really don't see the point in outright refusing to stay informed of current events. Just don't overindulge in the news/entertainment nonsense that masquerades as real journalism now days.
Actually, randomly could be a good funding model.

How do you plan on responding to requests regarding GDPR requirements from EU residents? What happens when someone starts uploading content that could be covered under the DMCA? Following the links, should we assume that https://www.forter.com is the responsible company?

That's what Movim does, by building on XMPP and its extensions. It's still pretty rough though, and administering a node (something that regular users are NOT required to do, but I thought it would be cool) requires some knowledge of XMPP/ejabberd (which I lack, as I discovered).

Ideally I'd be happy with something like that, where a single geek can provide a secure and federated social hub to his circle of friends/family.
One problem is for people to be noticed they have to offer something compelling, maybe novel, but most of all something which will cause nods or outrage,

Since most people have nothing significant to say (notable discovery) they signal which ever way they can. So they dig up nonsense molehills and let their friends build it into a mountain.

Yes, it's frustrating - but if the predominant response is doubt and confusion, you guys clearly didn't think this all the way through. AI tech is now easy and accessible, and you need to make a very good case why an AI startup would "need" you - along with the platforms you're promoting.

This is true. I know of someone who has had their real name and email address posted on Twitter by someone to harass them and Twitter finds nothing wrong with it and says it doesn't violate their rules. However don't say a curse word or you might get a 24 hour / 7 day time out.
I was thinking the same thing. The public library had a few Apple IIs that you could load games on and play. There would typically be a few kids gathered around one computer taking turns.

The console manufacturers have a major financial stake in preventing ‘jailbreaks’ and they all have failed. There is no such stake on the PC platform and it has a legacy spanning decades.

It’s really far-fetched to believe it’s anywhere near possible to secure it.
In the case of developing an exploit, one might reasonably claim that getting 0xdeadbeef in %rip is 90% done. A lot of researchers would stop at that point, because it's sufficient to demonstrate that it's exploitable. Some years ago, before various mitigations, you'd just have to polish up the payload and then you'd be 100%. But today, there might be a fair bit of work turning a demo crasher into a weaponized exploit.

Apple’s 2019 Mac Pro will be shaped by workflows
It's not fair to say they don't care about privacy when by in large when they are surrendering it they are not aware. The average person has a very low awareness of the long term implications to the loss of privacy and how affect say, their chances of getting a job, or getting the best price for a product. But they will figure it out.

When I read about the Cambridge Analitica story I was kind of shocked anyone was surprised by what they are doing. I have seen companies hoover up data from Facebook in a similar way so I have always understood that under their old ToS any friend could give away your data by participating in an app. It had been like that for a long time (they changed the ToS-- I believe in 2015). That seemed terrible to me, years ago. The fact that it took people so long to be shocked about it just shows that their is going to be a long lag between when these things happen and when popular consciousness catches up with the implications.
Isn't the absolute magnitude of the remaining work more relevant?
My comment wasn't about poor people being dumb. My comment was attempting to point out that, when you are poor, small amounts of money matter a lot more.

I may have worded it poorly or misread the context of the comment I was replying to, but the point I was trying to get across is that when you don't have much money, you have to be much more conscious about how you spend it. And if you aren't, then you go broke and don't eat for a while. It's an easy thing for well-off people to lose sight of.
Yes privacy is a concern. And it need to be similar to TutaNota. I've just found one good alternative Mailfence.com features and UI is very nice.
It's an interesting conjecture, but what about the anomalies? There are over a hundred planet systems discovered by Kepler with various levels of confirmation. None of them are mentioned here. The essay only lists 9 systems. How do the rest compare? Are there anomalies in unconfirmed systems? Why were these systems chosen; was it a random selection?

You can do this in pretty much any language. Back in the early 2000's, people used to take the Perl source code and replace the main loop (you know, the part that actually opens files and reads in your "perl scripts") with the text of a cut and pasted perl script. So when the executable ran, instead opening a file, it simply ran the perl code that was nothing but a (giant) string within the perl interpreter executable. Nothing stopping you from including the code from a perl http server or other perl framework instead. I think cpanel did something like this for many years as their toolset was all perl but distributed as a single binary file.

Yes, including arbitrary data in binaries is probably as old as making binaries itself.

I think what is new is that in the mid 90s you didn't have an open source, memory safe, ergonomic, strongly typed, type inferenced language that targets multiple platforms with ease, with a decent standard lib. Rust is delivering that. Golang is delivering that. I think those two are novel in that sense.

From where I'm sitting the last few decades have been ruled by VMs and the explosion of scripting languages, because no one wanted to use those Apple/Microsoft toolchains that have been around in the 90s. While those toolchains rested on their laurels (or didn't, can't tell the difference now), Java became the enterprise workhorse.
No request is for FREE email providers only. Any time you pay for email, your privacy is out of the window by default. Because you provide them your address and payment information.

I don't think you understand the scale of these wars between developed nations. You could kill every single person in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc and it wouldn't even begin to compare to the relative death toll that WW2 inflicted. And to be clear it is not because these countries are not heavily populated. Iraq, for instance, would be about the 7th largest country in Europe, nearly 4 times the size of Sweden for instance.

The loss of life when developed nations fight against each other is literally inconceivable in today's times which is why I went out of my way to try to give measurements that can help you grasp it. The entirety of the world's conflicts today is completely and absolutely negligible compared to WW2. And I'm focusing on WW2. The major point here is the WW3 that we have avoided. The reason for that avoidance is almost entirely because of nuclear weapons.

Finally, it's not just peace for the west. There is unprecedented peace throughout the vast majority of the world. The entirety of Africa and the Mideast account for less than 20% of the world's population.

Fascinating that this relationship scales from solar systems in which the planets are close to the star to solar systems that are more spread out. I wonder if the mass of the star has an effect on the average distance that the mass of the rest of the solar system is from the star. I also wonder if the mass of the star has a correlation with the tightness of the logarithmic distance relationship exhibited in this article.
