> The way to solve self-driving cars in a few years is to start building roads and infrastructure for such automation. Maybe even have a human driving multiple cars, computer assisted, simultaneously from a remote office.

Even if the system took one driver-hour per vehicle-hour, with every vehicle controlled by one human driver at all times and each human driver controlling only one vehicle at a time, there would be significant benefits in terms of cost and availability from having all the taxi drivers working from a single ops centre, instantly assignable to any vehicle anywhere on demand. Any driver-hour-per-vehicle-hour reductions would be gravy on top of that. (However the system would certainly need some level of autonomous driving to at least halt the vehicle safely in the event of a communications failure or the like.)

(It's probably a coincidence that Musk happens to be building something which might be extremely valuable as a component of such a remote-driving system https://www.starlink.com/ , but perhaps it is not. 35mm of latency in each direction https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/02/space... is probably not a showstopper in this application http://www.brake.org.uk/component/tags/tag/thinking-time , especially if it can be compensated for by a professional and tightly-monitored driver pool, reduced speed limits and/or failsafe locally-controlled AI braking. The need to rely on autonomous driving and/or a supplementary ground-based network in tunnels and under bridges would likely be a bigger drawback.)
On the Everest comparison, the difference is Everest climbers primarily risk their own lives as people who agreed to make the climb.

Whereas Cannonballers risk the lives of everybody sharing the road with them. Ie, regular drivers who have not agreed to let someone charge up behind them at >100 mph.
> dep was slow because of I/O, not SAT solving.

Actually dep tended to produce suboptimal solutions, meaning in some cases it downloaded too many packages to solve dependencies. And that meant more I/O operations than needed. Plugging a full-blown SAT solver would have solved this issue.
If you already know and you're familiar with Vue, why don't you use Nuxt.js? You can generate a SPA or a PWA if you don't want to have the SSR version.
Going 120mph with other traffic just going about their day is dangerous and anti-social. Nothing commendable about it. It's all fun and games until someone gets killed.

I hope they have good long think about why they chose to endanger everyone they passed for some silly record.
Oberon was good for its time back in early 90's, too little for modern computing.

We would be better served with Modula-3 or Active Oberon, which Go failed to learn from.
I think the state of addiction is often times a symptom of a larger problem - similar to the symptom of terrorism - what social and geopolitical factors have driven young men in the Middle East into the embrace of radicals? Likewise, what factors, events, and socioeconomic circumstances have driven people into the throes of addiction?

I think often, when fighting or attempting to mitigate a symptom, you may decrease said symptom in the short-term but in the long-term, precious little is being done to solve the problem (e.g. War on Poverty, War on Drugs, War on Terrorism, etc.).
I might not recognize the address. But `whois 12.34.56.78` will tell me whose network it's on. Anything other than my hosting provider would be a red flag. If it's the right company but the site still looks wrong, I'd try to SSH, which would fail because known hosts (see adjacent comment) and also authentication would fail. Then I'd reach for the VM console inside my hosting provider's site, and see the correct/expected address there, and hopefully realize what's up. You could also check your DNS provider, assuming that hasn't been compromised.

It can be a good tradeoff to know where/how to find information rather than actually knowing the information.

I don't even understand why people use antivirus software. Sure, if you're on an ancient version of your OS, like Windows XP, then it might serve some purpose, but assuming modern versions of these operating systems, antivirus software does more harm than good.

Worried about browser extensions?

Another problem is that popular antivirus software are also installing their own root certificate so they can MITM secure HTTPS connections.

For example Bitdefender is able to inspect and modify your Google search result without installing a browser extension. And this is a common practice. See for example:

The mind numbing thing to me is you wouldnt even have to believe in climate change to understand how incredibly screwed we are. We are already done for without multiple degrees of temperature increase. Climate change is just the last nail in the coffin. We are wasting non-replaceable resources at an unfathomable rate to sustain growth for growth sake. A lot of people still dont seem to understand what "finite" means. One day stuff is out. And that day is coming closer. And instead of prolonging the time we have left to search for solutions, we waste the remaining resources for growth as if there is no tomorrow. Which to be fair, there wont.

All of our progress since the industrial revolution was made possible by cheap/free energy. Once we run out of everything from energy to fertilizer to metals to sand to our ecosystem and its biodiversity, there will be no slowing down, there will be collapse. Without fossil fuel based fertilizers we can say goodbye to the idea of food safety. Especially since modern fertilizers are the only thing that allows the dirt we use instead of actual soil to grow anything. And despite that we are still burning this stuff for personal transportation and having ingenious ideas like growing biofuel, of course also unsustainable in overexploitation. Because fuck yeah! Better yet, we are actually trying to replace oil in the transport and energy sectors with natural gas. The natural gas we need to not be faced with an incredible productivity decrease in food production. Its like people are straight up mad, we are talking about electric cars replacing fossil fuel to keep our transportation network running, and of course the freedom of getting to drive around in your own car. Completely ignoring how many batteries we could actually build before we run out of lithium without an real option for recycling. We were all born right in time to witness the waste of the last few hopes we have for decelerating and long term survival of human civilization on a few more years of unsustainable growth. And the best part, none of this was inevitable. And none of it is a surprise.
Problem is that humans and AI train in fundamentally different ways: AI trains by simulating crashes and adversarial/genetic networks.
First question is what the hell does this mean:

> As you install open-source packages, trustd will scan them and provide you with instant feedback on any problems.

What kind of scanning? Algorithmic? Based on human review? If we're outsourcing trust to you, I'd want to know a lot more.

And "we use Slack instead of a dashboard" doesn't sound terribly appealing. I'd want a dashboard and a range of notification options (for me email > Slack. Others may differ)
Your assumption of what Fitts's Law is isn't quite correct. Wikipedia has a description of Fitts's Law [1], some of the follow-on work in that space, and its application to HCI. There's a multitude of books, papers, and blog posts that deal with the application of Fitts's law to UI design and usability, so I'll let you pick your favorite source and go with that.

In broad strokes, the time to accurately complete a task is proportional to the distance to an item and inversely proportional to the size of the item. So, having to scroll tabs increases the distance -- potentially a lot. But, constantly shrinking tabs reduces the target size. I think you'd have to do an amortized analysis on this one because upon a the creation of a new tab the Firefox model only makes that new tab harder to get to, while the Chrome model shrinks all tabs, making each harder to click.

But, I could buy that there's some threshold here where Chrome maintains a tab size that still doesn't appreciably increase error rate while improving distance by eliminating the tab scroll. I'd expect that minimal tab width to be much larger than Chrome's true minimum tab width. But, I'd be shocked if Google didn't run usability studies on this. I just haven't come across anything on my own.

One thing I've always thought would be a good idea is a tool (either local or part of the pip/other packet manager download process) that greps and prints out all URLs and IP addresses within the code, including common encodings. Additionally, any lines that uses any transfer protocols (like HTTP requests) should be highlighted too as IP/urls can be encoded. Any HTTP request, for example, to suspiciously encoded URLs could raise flags.

The official library itself could have a "urls" file which has a list of urls that are expected and so anything that doesn't match can be questioned.

Whilst this won't solve the issue 100%, it raises the difficulty barrier to implement outgoing network calls.
No question but that it is massively irresponsible, and deserving serious jail time. But the question remains: will there be anyone else more massively irresponsible?

Answer: sure, any Trump voter.
The rest of your code? IANAL but I don’t think it’s viral like the GPL.

The way I understand it, if you fix a bug in an SO code snippet, then in theory you own that bug fix back to the crowd.

EDIT: The more I read about this the more cringeworthy it becomes. CC BY-SA is not designed for source code. The language in the actual license is extremely imprecise for trying to reason about using modular bits of CC licensed code in a complex system.

“Adapted Material” is defined simply as;

Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material

... and ...

in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor.

Is my 100,000 LOC application “derived from” or “based upon” a function which converts a hex string to a byte[]? That’s a question that can only be decided in a courtroom, and to my knowledge CC BY-SA has never been litigated in the context of source code.

My inclination is that the terms “derived from” and “based upon” must necessarily carry a stronger meaning than, for example, “incorporates” or other similar terms which would not imply a central shared function or feature.

Randomness management is one of the main transferable skills from one game to another. Most good Poker players tend to be able to easily become good at other games with randomness.
Man, the performance is pretty incredible considering what all it's doing. I'm going to try it out on some other devices.
If you do actually want to like it, be sure that you have tried a place that offers Fever Tree tonic and Hendrick's gin and ask for them by name. Do not simply ask for a generic "gin and tonic" made with their cheapest gin and tonic syrup mixed up in their soda dispenser — either of which are quite liable to render the concoction entirely undrinkable.

A good gin and tonic also includes a lime wedge. Even a little of this in the drink makes a big difference.

(Yes, there are definitely other gins that would work, and indeed, other tonics — but these are the more popular big names which you will have more luck finding at bars.)
Facebook also appears to have published BPF to do the same thing as py-spy but in kernel on perf hooks. But isn’t currently well documented to be easily accessible as far as I can tell.

I plan to test it out but hadn’t yet.

For anyone that wants to understand how py-spy works id also suggest the talk on rbspy (see YouTube) it’s great and basically the same but for ruby.

The original people who contacted customer support got this message:

While we are taking all feedback on board, disabling the new formatting tool isn't an option that we will be offering."[0]

It is of course possible that your particular request was super persuasive and caused them to change their mind, but the more likely explanation is the scale of the public backlash forced them to reconsider.

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, but I'm talking specifically about outbound network traffic. Your API's application servers (where such evil libraries could be deployed) should not be able to have any network connectivity towards the internet. So on that server, you should not be able to do even `curl www.google.com` for example.
IPv6 DNS C2 is pretty easy to spot. ISMDoor for instance throws an exclamation point in its "sync" messages with the C2 which gives it away since that's an invalid character in the spec. Other C2s use IPv6 responses which are encoded which often drops them outside of the global unicast scope or returns an IPv6 address on an unassigned network. IPv6 has such a huge address space that you can check responses with something like ipv6calc and catch anomalies really fast. As far as I've analyzed there isn't a malware family using IPv6 DNS tunneling that actually attempts to be always in an address range that makes sense/valid in its responses or produce a query that couldn't be easily spotted as a blob of base-64/encrypted data. Though given that you get 16 bytes in a AAAA record to work with it would be pretty trivial to make an encoding that uses those 16 bytes to fill with English word combinations that look like valid hostnames then ensure encoded responses are always in say Google's ::/32.

Edit: If you're looking to passively monitor your DNS I'm a big fan of CIRCL's D4 project that's just getting up and running. Check it out! https://www.d4-project.org/
Yep this was my point. It's not that people don't want things that fit, it's that this is not the primary motivating factor in that part of the market.
"Fuel cell" is the technical term for "gas tank" used in motorsports; it's literally a cell that holds fuel. In the techie/green community, the term has come to be used as a shorthand for "hydrogen fuel cell" but that's a more recent development.

Not arguing with you. But I think a digital bioweapon is a better analogy than a bomb. Since it spreads without control after release, like a... well... virus. If a country released a bioweapon somewhere and it affected "un-intended targets" there's going to be a lot of international problems with that.

I kind of feel, and I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert, that digital warfare should be treated closer to biological warfare than just your typical bombs and bullets kind. Generally, and holy shit I know someone is going to flip their shit for me saying this, but generally a regular bomb (not nuke) is an acute type of problem. After it goes off, it's GENERALLY harmless after that. Yes, structure collapse, contamination, gas leaks and other after effects. But not really more booms from the bomb. Weaponized ebloa can still make more people sick, not affected by the original release. Same with NotPetya and other cyber attacks. After deployed, it can affect more and more targets as time goes on.

I'm really looking forward to the U2F support - it's built into openssh and allows multiple ssh-keys tied to a single yubikey. The gnupg stack has become more stable, but it's always been the problematic part of the setup.

The other advantage is that you can use the cheap U2F/Fido yubikeys without GPG/applet support.
Ok, I quickly did the math for 500 lambdas (1Gb):

Provisioned:
500 * 86400 (sec/day) * 0.000004167 ~= $180

Keep-alive:
500 * 1440 (min/day) * 2 (sec. runtime) * 0.000016667 (100ms price) * 10 ~= $240

Invocation costs on the provisioned ones would be a lot cheaper too cheaper too.
Roughly $45 provisioned vs $80 for 50M calls.

So depending on the demands, provisioning can be more performant, and cheaper at the same time.
If you're on the webpage, under the top left corner hamburger menu the first item is "Donate". Not sure how they've done this year, their goal listed is $550k but for me it shows 0% which I find hard to believe in December. I blame my browser lockdowns.

They also have apps with in-app purchases to donate as well.

In most cases these geniuses (economists) are employed by the governments that established the thieving central banks. And after 100 years of "research" they still can't figure it out. Or won't.

https://www.austriancenter.com/cantillon-effect-populism/ -
"Well, the reason is that this phenomenon has been completely ignored by groups and parties on the left. Newspapers are full of populist campaigns advocating for higher taxes for the rich, and redistribution from the rich to the poor. All of that despite the fact that the concept of central banks was advocated by Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto. Central banks have been one of the main institutions established by the left in the last two centuries. Nowadays, central banks are a given, almost nobody questions them. Inflation would also exist without central banks, but it would definitely be not as high."
In automotive parlance it is fuel cell... ie a cell to hold fuel. That's just what they're called.
