No, I think the new consensus is that all systems are vulnerable (obviously true if all systems have users with access, whom may be compromised) - so not layers: compartments (and need to know;need to access).

I believe this is part of eg google/alphabet's new model: no hard wall, soft "inside" (egg model). Just stand alone secure sub-systems with ACL (access control lists) mediating access on a user-by-user, sub-system by sub-system level. No real trust in "location" as proof of authorization (I assume truly, off-grid clean rooms are excepted) - because "everything" needs access to networked resources.

Yeah, he's wrong that the most paranoid weren't assuming how bad it was. If anything, Enemy of the State had general public worried with Echelon revelations and technical details of Puzzle Palace making me certain they were doing mass surveillance and hacking. At least within a few years of 9/11 and Patriot Act. They'd do whatever they (a) could and (b) had to do for their mission.

Far as weakening, we were noting they did a lot of things that were public knowledge that indicated they prioritized shoddy products and surveillance over security. I had an essay listing most of them. I might dig it up and submit it Thursday if anyone is interested.
cargo cult - where someone sees bounty falling from the sky and then imitates the behavior without understanding it. Supposedly this happened in New Guinea during WWII where people saw parachutes of food and weapons coming down after the soldiers laid out marker panels. So they laid out marker panels in a ritual. Also this happened in 2019 when companies were constructed without understanding what was required to actually have a business.
The geoengineering technology simply isn’t here. There’s no strong capitalist incentives for such tech to emerge or be developed.

There’s no way we can eliminate the use of fossil fuels in the next ten years. There’s no way we can change consumer diets to rely less on methane producing animals. There’s nothing we can do to stop the acidification of oceans and the collapse of aquaculture. And when the permafrost melts and releases methane exponentially into the atmosphere it’s game over.

Unless we have a way to siphon out gases from the atmosphere, we’re finished.

Trusted Types will prevent a dependency or careless developer from setting innerHTML without going through a policy you've evaluated and decided to trust, but it doesn't have an HTML sanitizer, so for those cases a library like DOMPurify is still necessary.

Yes but how do you distinguish the microplastics from small tea dust?
That's very nice. They finally got a more general control model. That's progress. The first flip from that crowd was two decades ago. Now they have a way of generating and following more complex motions. "80% success", they write, so there's a ways to go yet.

I wonder what they use for actuators. What you want for running and gymnastics is a spring with adjustable spring constant, zero point, and damping. A pneumatic cylinder can do that, and can store energy briefly between motions. Humans, when running, recover about 60%-70% of energy from stride to stride. (Cheetahs, 90%. That's how they run so fast.) Hydraulics can't do that very well, although there have been some attempts with hydraulic accumulators. There have been attempts to do this mechanically, with two motors and a spring, but they're bulky. Direct drive electric motors can do it, but if you have a gear train, the inertia of the motor is multiplied by the reduction ratio and you lose the ability to absorb shock loads. Also tend to break gear teeth. ("You cannot strip the teeth of a magnetic field" - early electric locomotive selling point.) I once thought that direct drive linear motors [1] were going to be the answer, but those never got popular. (Aura, the main company in that field, had some nice technology and a big financial scandal. Their web site looks like a placeholder now. It's one of those areas where hard problem + limited demand -> no products.)

There's a hack called a 'series elastic actuator', which is a powered screw jack with a stiff spring on the end, used to fake more general springs. When absorbing energy, the motor runs fast to back off the screw jack and unload the stiff spring. This recovers no energy; it uses power when absorbing energy. It's used in research robots where battery life isn't an issue.

It took Boston Dynamics about $120 million to get to the "legged squad support system", the militarized Big Dog. No idea how much it took to get to a usable Atlas.

It's good that they're still trying. The question is how much patience and money Softbank has left.

I wish Schaft had made it. They were a University of Tokyo spinoff, bought by Google and dumped by Google. They used small liquid-cooled motors, so they could run the motors much harder than usually done. Like Tesla's motors, but far smaller.

Worth noting that despite us not leaving the union, Trump is apparently getting what he wants. The union basically capitulated to his demands. At least that is my reading.

To be clear, I'm not saying one way or another whether this is a good thing. It's just, I felt the title somewhat implied that the USG had given up on its intentions. Whereas actually what happened was the opposite. I meant only to point this out for others who might be likewise confused.
If people really believe +4C is likely in 80 years, why aren’t they out marching and demanding a move to nuclear power? It’s the only option that doesn’t decimate the poor and drastically increase the price of food, and this magnitudes more likely to be acted upon. Yet the overlap between people against nuclear power and terrified of climate change is a massive majority.

Yes, actually this is a gradient descent, a modified version of adagrad.

We do not know yet if this could perform faster or better than the classical machine learning. There are some fundamental difficulties on comparing two ML approaches, what's the criteria ? If it takes exponentially less time but with a lower accuracy, is that ok ? What if we need less data points to learn ?

If the shape is exponentially more complex, can we find a way of learning, we need at least some local convexity near the minima.

Sorry, more questions than answers, this is where we stand now in Quantum Machine Learning. We are able to do things but we do not have a clear view.

I'd like to be in a world where if Cloudflare or AWS is down my websites and the sites I enjoy are still up.

But to do that I'd need to have replication not just across data centers but across providers. And it's hard enough getting your team to understand how one provider works. We'd have to go an awful long way toward standardizing and dare I say comodifying these companies to get there.

But as Fortune 500 companies have known for longer than Fortune has existed, if you have two vendors you can play off of each other your life tends to go a lot better. Right now almost none of us have that, and I suspect we are all a little poorer for it.

> This is why OpenCL got so little love, Khronos just kept focusing on C until it was too late.

I think the major problem with OpenCL was that the primary author pushing it, Apple, had no presence in either the HPC nor high-end gaming industries (and still doesn't). Keep in mind OpenCL wasn't a Khronos creation, it was Apple's. Khronos adopted it in version 1.1, but the original 1.0 release was Apple-only as part of the Snow Leopard release.

As such, nobody that can drive GPU hardware sales was pushing it. Therefore OpenCL support from AMD & Nvidia was slow and bad, because it didn't help their bottom lines. It really wasn't because it was C instead of C++. It was because the drivers were bad and it was made "generic" too early on. There was no good programming guide for it, and it's super critical for GPGPU to know things like warp width and other programming information that OpenCL just doesn't have, because it's generic-ish. This generic-ish constraint is still a problem today, and is a major reason CUDA outperforms OpenCL so badly.

By contrast Nvidia drove CUDA hard, because it sold GPUs to the HPC crowd. And HPC crowds adopted it because it actually let them go faster with real programming guides on how to achieve performance from the GPU, along with actual documentation on what you should & shouldn't expect from actual hardware.

> This kind of counterfeit capitalism is terrible for society as a whole.

Well, so says the author, but he doesn’t make a very compelling case. He hammers WeWork, but WeWork is failing spectacularly and miserably, as Adam Smith’s invisible hand suggest it must. A lot of people have a problem with Walmart and Amazon, but I have yet to see any evidence that either of them has harmed society _as a whole_. He suggests they have the potential to, but rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater and preventing the world from getting Amazon and Walmart, we can deal with any actual abuses (like illegal labor practices) if they occur - just like we would if they were being done by “Jim’s corner store”.

The business of patent trolls is to find targets too small to have counsel on staff. The cost of sending a letter is negligible so even very "small" amounts (a few thousand USD) is a huge win.

Non-profits can easily make their benefit calculation to send off a few thousand and/or hire counsel just to cover a cheap settlement. Much less expensive than the cost of litigation.
Someone pointed out that the patent became active _today_. I wonder if they filed other lawsuits based on this patent as well?

> because rich people want to get richer

I actually don't think it's really greed. I think part of it is ethical business owners who just want to keep their businesses running. But to do that, they have to compete on a global scale and even if the business owner wants to cut emission and be carbon neutral, they can't compete with other businesses who aren't doing that. So, just points back to capitalism being the root cause. Same thing with moving factory production & jobs back to the US. You can't, even if you want to. It's not economically viable. Greed is not required to make these decisions. And even if you do move the factory back to the US, the jobs are super low paying (see: American Factory doc).

I also think part of it is a complete unwillingness to reduce the qualify of life. The rich western nations of the world are consuming 4+ Earth's worth of resources. Clearly this isn't sustainable. So, why do we just keep fooling ourselves into thinking that we can keep eating massive amounts of beef and having gadgets that we throw away after 5 years and drive 60 miles per day commuting? A correction is needed, and it will be painful. The longer we wait, the more painful the correction will be.

It's called carbon sequestration and it costs $100 - $300 per ton. So for a few $trillion, we could get net zero. Expensive, but comparable to the Iraq war or Apollo program in costs. A lot cheaper than WWII. Another way of thinking about it is that it would approximately double the price of gas.

It was more expensive to ship within the US and Canada than from China. Pretty much crushed the small retailers (I know I refused to spend $7 shipping for a $12 item). Now that that’s improved the rates should more normalize, because they won’t have to subsidize the loss on China shipping.

I see this in a lot of forums, such as r/twoxchromosomes on reddit

The outspoken members there are women who assume their negative life experience is all women's experience. That they are speaking for the injustice of all women. Disagreeing with that version of reality is the worst sin of all. Offering a different perspective is at best tacit consent for the status quo or at worst advocating for the victimhood of women, intentionally(?) ignoring any other possibility. Offering a different perspective if you do not have two X chromosomes is mansplaining, no matter what the content is.

This is called an echo chamber. People don't realize they don't have as much consensus on reality as they believe.

I think one way to short circuit this is to reveal that the lack of consensus perpetuates the oppression of women. There are men willing to be allies and help create a gradient of collaboration, but given the censorship it is equally as entertaining watching a fragmented cause get nowhere due to its own balkanization that the echo chambers doesn’t even even seem to notice.

And this is all exacerbated because people aren't treating each other as individuals, and instead trying to speak for entire groups. The irony is that you can't even address this conundrum without grouping the people who do this together.
It's the onus of the one making the claim to back it up. My 30 second google search didn't turn up much one way or the other so I can't say for sure.

Do you believe in marriage? Is it something enforced upon us by the culture or is it emergent from each one of us individually? What if I only speak about you yourself? Is happy marriage a 5, 10, 20 year long thing? If your partner dies, how long do you wait before your marry someone else?

I would even go as far as saying that "curing diseases, building computers and feeding the hungry" is something that people with a certain slave mentality tend to think about.
