Yeah, it will definitely depend on the workload.

A good example of a dense sort + join GPU workload would be looking for "Cliques" of Twitter or Facebook users. A Clique of 3 would be three users, A, B, and C, where A follows B, B follows C, and C follows A.

You'd perform this analysis by performing two joins: the follower-followee table on itself three times.

----------

So it really depends on your workload. But I can imagine that someone who is analyzing these kinds of tougher join operations would enjoy GPUs to accelerate the task.
The amusing thing about Musk is, assuming he loses and has to pay a couple millions in a settlement...

...it still won't be the most expensive time he ran his mouth on twitter, said false things, and had to pay a big settlement that year.

(Musk had to pay a $20m fine to the SEC for making fraudulent statements on Twitter. Musk is on record that the fine was "worth it". And I guess if you're billions, maybe a really satisfactory tweet really is worth a few million.)

Prior to Amazon buying out FreeRTOS (along with its creator and maintainer) and relicensing it to MIT, it was "GPL with exceptions". Clause 1 would be OK if it left it at "through the FreeRTOS API interface", that's a thing that projects have done to define a more practical boundary than "userspace | kernel or core system library" which the GPL uses on traditional operating systems. (There was a GPL java replacement project that used a "classpath exception" for the java standard library.) But the rest is odd and makes one doubt that the GPL can really be modified this way and still be coherent.

Clause 1:

...

As a special exception, the copyright holder of FreeRTOS gives you permission
to link FreeRTOS with independent modules that communicate with FreeRTOS
solely through the FreeRTOS API interface, regardless of the license terms of
these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting combined
work under terms of your choice, provided that

...

+ The combined work is not itself an RTOS, scheduler, kernel or related product.

+ The independent modules add significant and primary functionality that is
unrelated to multitasking, intertask communication or intertask signalling -
and therefore do not merely extend the functionality already present in
FreeRTOS.

Clause 2:

FreeRTOS may not be used for any competitive or comparative purpose, including the
publication of any form of run time or compile time metric, without the express
permission of Real Time Engineers Ltd. (this is the norm within the industry and
is intended to ensure information accuracy).

Not good.

Something negative is eventually going to be written about big tech, and Facebook stands out as the easiest to be negative about / even scapegoat.

Not only that, but the story is incredibly easy to write. Mark Zuckerberg is a single individual with near total control of the country. It’s almost Shakespearean. Writing about any other company would be a muddled narrative with many different sides, hard to trace blame, etc.

Given people seem super pro “catch the criminals” because facial recognition:

1. It can only identify people it already has facial recognition for. So that means people who are already in the system - who you already have fingerprints as well.

2. Can facial recognition provide cause for a warrant? If it can, what happens if its accuracy is biased (see the numerous studies showing “accurate” facial recognition systems are in the order of 15%-20% less accurate at identifying women of color than white men). Seems like that would be reason to get the warrant dismissed and subsequent evidence removed - based on my years of legal experience watching tv ;)

3. Can this be used to identify wanted people randomly on the street, or is it just retroactive (eg there was a crime, identify the person in the picture). The latter is significantly less of a problem (imo) than continuous live identification.

4. How long is this data archived? Who is responsible when it leaks?
Github is still up.
I'm more inclined to say that the real solution to this is to make it expensive for the callers by having a service that answers the call every time and tries to keep the caller on the line wasting their time. There's obviously an asymmetric principal at play here.

Imagine for a sec a situation where:
1. I receive a robocaller message.
2. I press a button on phone indicating spam
3. Software Agent takes over, presses the right DTMF to proceed (ML based analysis of what works and what doesn't)
4. Agent waits for human to come on, starts playing random conversational pieces that sound right (extension, the google thing that booked a hair dresser appointment takes this even further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D-6mxb_Mu8).

Sort-of.

I mean Facebook does deserve the negative PR it's receiving, don't get me wrong. I finally deleted my account, too, since it's become too much. It does seem to me like it's very much in their interest of the media to keep attacking Facebook now that it's socially acceptable (Cambridge Analytica stuff and all), since Facebook's one of the companies that greatly influenced and interfered with their possibility to generate an income.

Rather than go through all that mess of appeasing a ridiculously limited (proprietary) firmware, the author should have just built/flashed coreboot.

What I don't understand is why the law in USA allows someone be employed, and by signing some contract thing still count as if she is not employed.

In Russia, distinction is clear in law. Do you pay her regularly? I. e. at least one a month? Then she is employee, no matter who says what.

I understand less protection for workers, less vacation, less regulation overall, this is all understandable. I don't understand why facts are ignored in favor of words.

To be honest, this always seemed more likely.

Global cooling was the dominant theory from the time investigation of greenhouse gases began in the late 19th century up until the late 1970’s.

While the Venus-like future of Earth is entirely possible, there seems to be far more evidence of planets with damaged atmospheres becoming too cold / losing entropy.

Herman Hesse's novel "the glass bead game" discusses a movement he calls The age of the Feuilleton When a sports writer is asked for his opinion on nuclear physics, and a chef might expound on the relative merits of gay love and modern dance. At the time I first read this (the 1970s) it felt like a very odd artifice, an unlikely situation: who the hell would care about this?

But in the context of Facebook, insta-famous, I think Hesse might have been on the money: we've descended into a rats-nest of opinion-that-matters coming from D list celebrities, and we ignore real ideas, because they're just too hard to cope with.

I think FB owns some of this: the idea we glom onto people and give giant thumbs-up signals to the ones who say things we can relate to even if we are doing a thumbs-up to a picture of a starving Kid: we reduced the mental effort to participate to a single button click, and rank people by influence which is judged by engagement which is judged by likes

So I'd reduce the impact of Facebook down to likes -This idea may have been birthed elsewhere, but Facebook is where it exploded to worldwide relevance.
Ouch, level3 is pretty big. How could they have an outage?

Are you sure this is a problem you want to (try to) solve technically?

- You'll make it very hard for genuine people to contact you.

- You don't solve the problem, you only make it more expensive. As long as the benefit of calling you is bigger than the cost they will jump through whatever hoop to call you.

For some context: this isn't a problem everywhere in the world. In my country there are strict laws about unsolicited phone calls (especially to people who have indicated they wan't to be called[1]). I never get a spam called (automated or otherwise).

> I would argue it's unrealistic to make such a system that would be fair in the eyes of all coming generations. Imagine they implemented a social credit system in the Middle Ages and added or deducted points based on whether or not you followed the laws and norms of that era.

How bloggers use web push notifications to reach target audience?
First of all I doubt that most people who go into this have a feeling of desperation, especially not the teenagers that are targeted. (I do sort of have an issue with the targeting, though when I think about it, I bet that teenagers actually understand what they are giving up better than 50 year olds). So I would rephrase that as "are we, as a society, ok with people _wanting_ $20 more than privacy", to which my answer is yes. I guess I would have a problem if it were desperation, but then I don't think that in this sense being "desperate" for $20 off a smart phone plan is correct usage of the term.
Aaand they sold that company to IBM for a huge amount, so it was likely a smart move.
Outright restricting would seem unlikely given the anti-trust scene they are having to put up against. But, I can totally imagine them introducing an extra step under the garb of "protecting" users like a dialog, a popup coupled with a red banner on the URL is enough to discourage significant number of people from visiting the target website.
The author of this article is referring to 'attacks' in the microcosm of Twitter and it was the very same accounts calling for the head of the MAGA kid who were on the receiving end of 'learn to code' comments.

That's why I drew that comparison. But yes there's possibly better examples.

> a MAGA hat [used to] implicitly express, a vicious hatred of liberals

That is a game, I enjoy flaunting wealth over people and using my ungodly strong power I've worked hard for to stomp on people in a game.

But I don't want to live on a monopoly board, or squash people into oblivion in real life. Games are quite often about direct competition.

While there is some argument for making sure not to kill the motivation of hard workers due to equalising society too far, I don't think the US is close to that level, and the scale is far, far in the other direction.

Also, forcibly taking isn't correct, it's a progressive tax on income not a raid.

I don't think this analogy works for a meaningful conversation.

This seems like a really bad time to propose something like this. Parts of SF look like a mad max wasteland and they really have blown it when it comes to crime, vagrancy, and blight. It really seems like facial recognition could help catch criminals and put them away for once.

Holy shit. This is beyond the pale.
I'm against this, but not for the typical reason of privacy or worry of government overuse. What I'm worried about more than either of those is the growing prevalence of GAN created video. As the outputs of GAN become more realistic and indistinguishable from the real thing, having a facial recognition system to be able to prove that you were or were not in some place at a certain time is going to be integral in fighting off the fake videos that are going to swarm us all soon.

What I'd rather see is twofold:

1.) A right to wear a mask. Both legally and for it to become socially acceptable. We should have a right to protect our privacy, when we want it.

2.) Open data when it comes to this. Otherwise I feel that power will centralize with governments and larger private orgs. By opening the data set, the system can be used for good. This would have to include some sort of authentication system as well - possibly something like 2fa where an alert comes to your phone that you have to authorize before an entity can query your facial recognition stats.

Hard stuff? All the registrar is doing here is taking a request from a CA and sending it to a user. The user sends back a reply and the registrar passes it along to the CA.

The current regime puts all the "hard stuff" on DNS and BGP (yikes). Instead you could put the "hard stuff" on an HTTP POST over a TLS connection.

The registrar already needed basic account security because otherwise anyone can just compromise the registrar account for a domain, change the authoritative DNS, and own the certs that way. If they do end up increasing their security at all, this is a good thing to protect the domain owners. If they don't increase security at all, we're back where we were before, but without the DNS and BGP vectors.

In the U.S., there is a multi-factor test if someone is an employee. Just paying someone regularly isn't enough. You might get a haircut once a month, but your barber clearly isn't an employee. It requires more, like control over their day-to-day actions, if you provide benefits, and several other factors.

The Russian law may seem clear, but in reality it's just a stand-in for a more complex analysis.
I'm just one data point, but I imagine I'm not alone:

If I tip someone well, it's because they've been incredibly attentive, kind, accommodating, etc. As much as possible, I want the tip to brighten their day. The effect is greatly diminished if that money is immediately divvied up amongst the other servers, making the difference to what they bring home negligible.

I've never worked as a server (though I did work at Chik-fil-A in highschool; employees are not allowed to accept tips there), and I did not realize that many restaurants are involved in the handling of tip money, rather than the tips going directly to the respective server.

So, no, that's not what I had in mind.

Why should anyone expect that sort of handling of tips? Not everyone has worked a job involving tips. I didn't. Should I have spontaneously asked one of my server friends "hey, btw, how are tips handled at your job? Like, I suspect that when I tip someone, you know, that money goes to them, because after all, I gave it to that person and not the restaurant and not anyone else, but just in case I'm mistaken, could you tell me what happens with the tip money after I leave it on the table? It's a question that's been gnawing at the back of my mind, and I just had to ask!"

My point being: unless you're a server at one of those restaurants, how would you know that your server doesn't get the tip you left for them? Could you substantiate such a claim?
Their "Quiz Director" was fired and a lot of the salaried staff they let go were replaced with people paid by the hour. That might be their source, although I agree that it's ridiculous.

A lot of these people are panicking because their cozy, well-paid but unprofitable jobs are under threat.

That being said, the irony of Twitter activists complaining to poorly compensated teenagers that "they're taking our jobs" is highly ironic in today's political atmosphere.

If you are able to perform the following steps for any of Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Microsoft or Twitter, I will literally eat a hat (you may choose what kind):

1. Discover an easily exploitable vulnerability that allows access to a chosen user's private data

2. Email their security address about it

3. Tweet at them about it

4. Fax them about it

5. A week later the vulnerability is still exploitable

You do not have to play fair. You're allowed to impersonate a suburban mom or a grandpa who's not good with technology. You're allowed to ramble or use vague and non-technical terms as long as a reasonably qualified person could determine what the vulnerability is. Specifically, it is not required that you include relevant product versions, steps to reproduce, a full reproduction video, or a one-sentence impact summary like "a caller can eavesdrop on the recipient of a Group Facetime call without their knowledge or consent".

There's no apologising this away. The vulnerability was already a monumental fuckup, but this detail propels it into the realm of cultural dysfunction. It should not be possible to fail this badly. If you put listening devices in people's pockets, you need to hold yourself to a higher standard than "I dunno, bug reporting is hard".
