LSD/mushrooms are way more powerful, you can't compare those. What's next, mescalin or ayahuasca?

I've done shrooms couple of times, it was profoundly mind-and-life-changing experience and in many ways the most intense and beautiful event in my life. But I wouldn't recommend it to maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of people I know, simply because I wouldn't be sure it wouldn't mess them up badly, like really badly. At least not under professional supervision and adequate gradual dosing.

You make everybody smoke weed few times, not much bad can happen. You make everybody trippin', and consequences are unpredictable. Show some respect for the stuff, it very well deserves it.

If you're talking about exploiting buffer overflows etc, it is pretty much imperative to learn C at the very least, and probably some assembly as well. So many of these type of exploits are in C code, and exploitable programs (not infrequently including the OS itself) written in C are so pervasive, so you'd need to have a good understanding of it.

It's worth noting that even many experienced C programmers don't pursue this kind of research; it takes a special kind of mindset and focus to read enough source code in context to recognize where the program may read untrusted input from the network, neglect to bounds check/sanitize it, etc.

Most C programmers I know are busy trying to write code, not exploit it, and the better ones are also kept busy trying to ensure they are not making the kind of mistakes that lead to remote exploits (or patching them), since it is so "get it wrong" in C.

Agreed! and the approach to operator overloading is much more pragmatic.
How much would it cost to get someone dedicated to manage your bare metal infrastructure? In this day and age, where using ansible or terraform is considered close to the metal, how much would it cost you to manage your own server?

And what about scaling?

That's precisely the problem. Bare metal hosts are unbeatable in cost, but fixed costs render them too expensive for a startup. Then, when fixed costs start to become irrelevant, you need to factor in the cost of rearchitecting your solution.

Then, when both of those costs become irrelevant, you already have the entire team trained and experienced in using a cloud service provider.
You're heading in the right direction but traditional UNIX tools don't work here. That's why Signal needs to use SGX.

Consider: how do you know the SSH server isn't tampered with? It could be feeding you an entirely fake session.

You might say, the sandbox. How do you know the sandbox isn't tampered with?

How do you know the hard disk or the RAM isn't tampered with? The third party owns the machine itself.

SGX is based on the insight that it's very, very difficult to tamper with a physical circuit as small as a CPU. The CPU is the root of trust in any machine. If a CPU can produce a report that says the moral equivalent of "I'm running an OpenSSH server version X" and the CPU itself is preventing the server owner from tampering with the software, then you have the ability to reason about what the server is doing with your data.

An aside - I am lucky enough to live somewhere where no security is needed. I don't even have lockable doors or windows. I only mention this because it hasn't struck me for a long time how different life felt when I lived in a city (there've been a few - London, Glasgow, Sydney, Brisbane). Locking a door would seem really odd to me here.

I did though once set up a timelapse cam to try & trace where a bush rat was getting in the house.
The bad bits of my journey...

Raspberry PIs, other SBCs and usb webcams/noIR are an exercise in futility, as the inbuilt camera interface and v4l lags horribly at reasonable resolutions.

USB webcams can behave oddly if you stream constantly and are close to using the bandwidth of USB2

Zoneminder is memory hungry and will suck CPU like no tomorrow. But has a decent user interface, if you keep lots of data.

MotionEye can be configured to be unable to play back its captures which is a bug imho.
> ...and supports for production software on the target device

Assuming I understand this right... why should an operation system limit the programming language used for creating applications in at all? That's a bad trend to follow which unfortunately seems to be quite common on more recent platforms.

Since C seems to be supported (which I assume means: there are C headers for operating system APIs, and which btw is a great thing), wouldn't any language work which can call into C APIs (which is nearly every programming language on the planet).

E.g. even if the OS doesn't "officially" offer Go bindings, why should a third-party not be able to come up with Go bindings via the C-APIs? Also "Con: The toolchain produces large binaries." is laughable, because from the POV of a C programmer, everything else out there produces "large binaries" ;)

Interesting, in my experience getting a team that really works together instead of a bunch of people cobbled together with varying levels of competence and opinions on what's good is what is really puts a drag on a project.

Basically: the 10x developer is the same developer unhindered by people that build sloppy shit or broken procedures that need to be integrated.

Agree mostly but he only talk about some AI start-ups that have a 1 to 1 model or at best a 1 to few.
There is some AI startups like ours which have a 1 to many model. We use Computer Vision to collect data from video streams and sell data and transformed data through our API.
The output of our models is the same for everyone.

Cost wise though it's clearly being not knowledgeable about how it works or at least think all AI startups have huge training set. For many companies owning your hardware for training is a very easy step to rationalise cost.

It feels like an article written about all AI companies but actually (very) true only for some AI companies.
It can be banned, sure, but I don't see the superstitious side of the consumption being curtailed.

When you have a market for rare 'natural wondercures' being sought out, it only takes one mutation in a virus to spread on from another mammal to humans, add to that China's population density. A recipe for disaster.
When we got a new puppy, I wasn't bothered about recording and I didn't want my video sitting on some dodgy 3rd party cloud, so I dug out some old half-broken iPhones, plugged them into permanent power and run https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/icam-webcam-video-streaming/id... on them.

Worked very well.
Revolut is predatory and walking on the line of legality. I would stay as far away as I can from them.

Quite impressed with the valuation.

Transferwise Borderless seems to have a better business model with sane prices and not "everything free".

And Revolut still uses their e-money license instead of their proper Lithuanian banking license. Quite surprising.
Heh heh, title is indeed badly worded.
We moved to GCP from AWS because we thought it'd be cheaper. Turns out it wasn't that much cheaper at all. But Google paid for the transition so there's that...

Isn't the main problem that women are too picky, and men are not picky enough though? So the apps only work for decent women, and very good looking men.

The biggest lemon problems can be solved by the people by just being careful. I.e. making a video call first, before meeting in real.
It looks good. When should we expect firefox support?
Thank you so much for your feedback. I was unsure how to properly name this, but maybe Biometrics Wrapper would have been better.

Regarding LAContext, the only difference is that aiDee adds an extra layer of abstraction with a clean and simple public API (e.g. biometricAuth.authenticateUser(...) instead of context.evaluatePolicy(...)).

If I had a company where I'd need to implement this in 10 different apps, I think I would do something like aiDee.
I refused to interview with them due to their poor employment practises. A quick search reveals what's going on.
The middle ground is finding a US multinational that's hiring in the UK or Ireland. Although Dublin has nicely replicated the insane property prices and commuting disaster that comes with growth.

Yes, don't feel bad, we'd never see it anyway. I agree with the proposals of the others, rather write an email to the corresponding author or a blog post about it.

So glad I got a refund years ago.
The lack of in-person or even phone support is practiced by quite a few banking start ups. This also means that if they block your account for any reason (e.g. suspected fraud), it can be very hard to get hold of them. N26 has had similar issues with people not being able to access their money for weeks after their account got blocked.

Not sure where the rest of the accusations comes from.

It's been a long long time since I've interviewed for a developer job, and unless anything wildly radical happens, unlikely to happen ever again. BUT...
At the time I recall that what worked very well was that I'd start with the knucklehead solution. I'd say, "Well, a naive way of doing this would be..." and what this does is buys a bit more time of thinking as you talk through the facile way of doing things.
That alone is not going to be enough to pass this kind of interview, but I remember this as a useful trick.

How can you be a prof at Harvard and make such a statement to the press?

Well, maybe they did A/B testing and discovered that people don't give a damn. I will certainly mimimize usage of services that do such testing.
Yep, Transferwise Borderless is quite great. They also offer things that Revolut doesn't such as U.S. bank account, plus Revolut just feels bloated and complex with hidden fees.
That's a great little story, I assume untrue, where the "flexible glass" was just chosen as a mythical invention, to make the point. Similar to the "acid that dissolves any material" story.

Reading it, I thought how fantastic it would be if that material had actually been around for centuries. Then of course, the end of the article links to gorilla glass, a material we all use daily and barely even think about. Do we live in mythical times?

AKA Yahoo effect.
Well... I'm in my hometown in Italy right now, people are advised to work remotely or avoid mass transit, everything closes after 6PM, museums/theaters/schools are closed, a small percentage of the population is going a little crazy so please everyone we must start asking ourselves some questions about those wild numbers that come out and people reporting them must be a little bit more responsible.

We had 7 fatalities here in Italy in an really big area, all of those people were old (some very old) and with other aggressive diseases or health problems going on, but we keep saying we have 200something people positive to COVID-19 making the mortality rate 3.5% BUT those 7 people are absolutely not representative of the 3.5% of total population so we must be missing people that are positive to the virus but don't get tested and never will.

We don't have enough test kits, we don't have enough personnel, we cannot overwhelm every lab in northern Italy just to start testing everyone for COVID-19 so many people without symptoms or with light symptoms are going on with their lives without ever being reported as positive... you get tested if:
- you met with someone that died
- you have severe symptoms
- you have light symptoms and you are old or have some other disease
- you live in one of the (really small) isolated areas
- you escape from the areas that are isolated
- you are close to someone that have escaped

If you are young and have a cold, even if you want to get tested, no one will come. I know from first hand some 4 people that are sick right now (symptoms like normal cold or a mild influenza) and one person that had I bad influenza finishing last week... are they positive? We will never know, now scale that up to the millions of people living in northern Italy
Huh, could you summarize the results of a quick search here, to save everyone else the time?

Year old diesel Skoda – sell or scrap
Hi,

I have a 10 year old Skoda Octavia with 200k miles. It has one of those Volkswagen diesel engines that are part of the Dieselgate scandal. I recently bought a new car, and am trying to make the best decision in terms of environmental impact regarding the Skoda. I could sell/donate or scrap it. Which is environmentaly more reasonable?

Thanks!

It was rescued by the AdWords team, and later the Flutter team decided to use it instead of JavaScript, in the process they turned Dart into a strongly typed language with type inference (thus everyone from the dynamic camp left the design team), and nowadays the future of Flutter and Dart are tied together.

Flutter became enough of a nuisance that Android team has now come up with Jetpack Composer, to detriment of the existing Android UI toolkits, because they need to have their Java/Kotlin Flutter.
I started by using a NVR off AliExpress. It worked well until I added a camera from a different vendor, same brand though and it refused to be reliable and had frequent disconnections.

Moved onto ZoneMinder and after hours of setup I felt the UI wasn't good enough for a non-tech person. I want others in my family access the feeds with ease, ZoneMinder does not cut it.

While I was experimenting with cameras, I was also getting into HomeAssistant which had motionEye as a supported service. It was easy to add cameras and almost any camera could be hacked to have RTSP support and motionEye.

Motion-detection could be enabled on the Raspberry Pi's motionEye, offloading compute off the cameras. This was important for me as many of my cheap Chinese cameras lag/hang/shutdown on load.

The Raspberry Pi also has Pi-Hole installed which I configured to block all IPs and domains being used by the IP cameras thereby limiting its access to local network only.

As I kept adding cameras (10+), performance on Raspberry Pi started getting affected, so I added another Raspberry Pi and installed motionEye on it. Setup MQTT on motionEye to send notifications to HomeAssistant on motion/human detection. Added multiple HDDs (4) so cameras can write with less conflicts.

I still haven't got some cameras (Xiaomi) into this setup as I don't want to hack them yet. (The open firmware(s) lack features). But they do backup recordings to the same Raspberry Pi NFS and I plan to find something which can show motionEye and Xiaomi videos in one interface.
You should support the external authenticators like aws-iam-authenticator for authentication.
Go has been a minimalist language from inception. It's not "let's try to make the best language, period", it's "let's explore what benefits we can gain from sticking to a limited subset of language designs that hasn't been seriously tried in decades".

Dart might be a bit of a kitchen sink language (what's it with Danes and operator overloading?), but you couldn't port over the minimalism of Go by addition, it would not be minimalism anymore.

Dart innovations like "collection if/for" syntax seem laughably trivial, but when you look at the examples for declarative UI it should become immediately clear that they reduce cognitive load a lot compared to the equivalent flatMaps or imperative state buildup. Those syntax goodies seem really nice in the scope Dart is made for, but I think that they would look seriously out of place in a more general purpose language.

This line from the article is interesting:

"An analysis of the start and end dates of 147 former Revolut employees on LinkedIn suggests that over 80 percent had lasted less than a year, and over half stayed at the company for less than six months."
>It's time for a radical thesis - the Internet (in its current form) is irreversibly broken. Because of its scale & growth rate - it effectively eliminates all options of realistic governance (at least centralized / regulated - the ones we know at this point).

This isn't a radical thesis. It's become de rigueur to complain about how irreparably, irredeemably broken the internet is. Javascript is a cancer. Normies and corporations have ruined the web's quirky technocratic charm and rendered it a lifeless, homogeneous mass of standard templates and best practices. Nazis, psychopaths and charlatans have an unparalleled capacity to spread their lies and hate. And worst of all, pitchfork-wielding, pearl-clutching mobs of SJW moralists are trying to stop them! We seem to get a thread about it every week.

A truly radical thesis would ascribe any positive value to the modern web at all. That would cause SV to drop their monocles into their Monster energy drinks in shock. Youtube is more valuable to the world as a repository of information and culture than the Library of Alexandria, but people would burn it down in an instant simply to spite the ads. Social media has provided most profoundly democratizing paradigm shift in mass communication since the telephone or possibly even email, but people write it off as nothing but idiots sharing memes in a Skinner Box. The internet has brought people together in uncountable positive ways, we're just trapped in our own identity bubbles and it's no longer possible to see the forest for the trees.

The web isn't broken, it just isn't perfect. But it's still a lot better than people seem to give it credit for. I know the author only wrote this... barely even an article... just to push Tim Berners-Lee's Solid but to me the argument for completely abandoning the web and starting over just isn't that strong.
Depends on your definition of small - but I accept the point that if the peptides are small enough it can be useful and I went too far there.

Remember the problem posed was to calculate the mass of proteins upto 1000aa where the difference between mono-isotopic mass and real average mass would be many 10's of daltons - much more than the missing water!
No one from Go community would touch such a "Frankenstein", it remains to be seen if Go 2.0 will really add generics or if it will be shot down like the improved error handling proposal.

I'd say they definitely are, to people studying the subject matter; it's hard to find a sociological analysis of contemporary capitalism (in terms of culture, alienation, fetishism or otherwise) in the literature that doesn't at least mention critical theorists, and it's hard to find studies on political deliberation that don't mention Habermas. The point is that if Scott were to engage in such literature, he'd have to address some of the claims anyway.

Not being part of Scott's audience (and therefore he should have no concern with mentioning their work which is often highly relevant to the topics he writes about) seems to just speak in favour of an echo chamber rather than considering and criticizing ideas that are already out there and hold sway with people informed on the topics.
