AI Isn’t Magical and Won’t Help You Reopen Your Business
A number of countries are directly demanding they remove content that is considered "terrorist" or in some way an incitement to violence. Realistically, they have no choice but to have policies that forbid any such content on the platform.

France, for example, recently passed a law demanding that various illegal content be removed in 1 hour or 24 hours, or face enormous fines: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52664609
That only makes sense if a woman gets screened monthly, which they don't.
I havent confused them. Its phrased like that to alert people they can't change the key strength by bit-ness, but they can change the KDF password-strength, on GENERATION, which is peoples first gateway into Ed25519. And X448 opens another can of worms, ssh-keygen still does not support that algo. OpenSSL 1.1.1 does, with:
openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed448
but that doesn't relate to this discussion of use for SSH public keys.
The support is very bare bones and only allows C code access meant for use in TLS servers, not SSH command line tools. They recently added EVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key() relating to Ed25519/Ed448 but that doesnt help in actually running a command to generate these X448 algo Curve keys yourself for use in SSH keys.

So if you know how to use X448/Ed448 public/private keypairs with SSH, do tell.

Would you be fooled by that? No because once it became well known, people would adjust their heuristics for judging who's real. If that's too hard, platforms would help, such as by verifying identity more thoroughly. I've never heard any realistic description of how AI bots could somehow undermine society even close to the amount that humans already do.
A little off topic but why do these orchestration tools always prefer to use YAML as I really feel it a harder to understand format than JSON or better TOML and it's the only thing that I don't like about Ansible.

I see ruby kind of uses YAML often but are people comfortable editing YAML files? I always have to look up how to do arrays and such when I edit them once in a while.

Aggregate demand for home toilet paper rose as consumption of industrial toilet paper fell. Increasing supply of toilet paper is expensive and would not be profitable before toilet paper demand normalizes.
Why is that an issue?

You choose, somewhat arbitrarily, a particular level of reductionism to apply. (It seems from what you are saying that you would agree that) atoms are real, but bricks are not; bricks are what we call a clump of iron, oxygen, silicon, aluminum, etc. which is mostly stuck together in a particular shape and size. Bricks are based on a human perception of togetherness and objecthood that is completely arbitrary; there's no real delineation of the edge of a brick, nor is there a real definition of 'brick' in the first place.

All of this is (more-or-less) true. Yet, at the same time, not only can I move the slide to a place where the brick is very real (say, when it's smashing out your brains after being wrapped in a slice of lemon), I can also move it to a place where atoms are no less emergent than bricks. 'Atom' is just the name we give to a cluster of quarks in various configurations, with an electron (kind of, arguably) nearby.

Yet, atoms are a construct present in physics because they're useful in making predictions about physical phenomena. Nothing fundamental about it. And bricks are a construct in engineering and architecture because they have a certain functional and aesthetic purpose in each of those disciplines.

It's all always arbitrary. It's all always human understanding. Science is human understanding. The question is not 'is this just an artifact of human perception', the question is 'is this relevant to the questions I am asking'.

Certainly frameworks can do that but most of the time, especially for an important codebase it’s a good idea to rewrite the whole thing. It’s actually a good idea to start away even when you have lots of unknowns but have in mind it would be a good idea to do a rewrite. Smart companies do at least proof of concepts for this type of project and it pays off. A few sturdy well made code bases can become the backbone of a little enterprise.
In 2002, I was back in my hometown after some years away. By then they estimated that HIV infection was running at 1/3 of the population. I had a job that took me most days to the local cemetery, and was harrowed by the next round of graves freshly dug, most three foot long. I imagine you can guess why they were so short. And if that sounds angry, it is anger - still - but not directed at you, OP. I went to the hospital on one occasion to see the child of a friend, a little boy called AK, draw his last breath. His name was a reference to the machine gun; a child of a revolution I didn’t understand.

I’m not sure why I write this. I never really spoke of it before. I think I found your comment deeply moving.

No, not following. I understand how master based provisioning management systems had their time and place, but we've largely moved beyond that to baking images, whether containers or VMs. Running a master based system comes with a whole house of other issues. Ansible is now relegated to a better system than based for installing packages and configuring the baked image. The time of booting a vanilla imstamce and then installing software when a scaling events happens is over.

By the way, what does ansible do to help with scaling applications?

Did you bother to actually, you know, READ the article you shared?

"It was not until the 1830s that the idea of a centralized municipal police department first emerged in the United States" vs. ". The first formal slave patrol was created in the Carolina colonies in 1704"

Slave patrols predate municipal police departments by 100+ years.

And for additional clarity, let's draw the link:

" Following the Civil War, these vigilante-style organizations evolved in modern Southern police departments primarily as a means of controlling freed slaves who were now laborers working in an agricultural caste system, and enforcing "Jim Crow" segregation laws, designed to deny freed slaves equal rights and access to the political system."

You're right in that northern police forces were more interested in protecting mercantile interests. And that's where we get the core functions of our police system: Protect the interests of the moneyed class (north) and suppress minorities (south)

But citing this article as evidence that US police isn't rooted in slave patrols is... bold choice, Cotton.

> So your degree is free unless other people are willing to pay you to have it? In which case it costs you money?

yes. If your degree is in an area where you are unlikely to recuperate the initial investment of the education, then it effectively becomes free (i.e., paid for by society). I like this because some degrees that aren't productive, but has a genuine societal benefit (like studying history or something), can be funded this way. The person doing said degree has to really like it, and give up a high salary to do so.

Degrees which _are_ economically productive will very easily reach the threshold for repayment of the loan, and thus the cost is borne by the employer/employee, who then ultimately benefit the most out of the degree (and therefore, justifies the relief to taxpayers for the cost of the loan).

And because i believe most people are not willing to sacrifice their future economic gains just to have a free degree, i believe most will look to doing one which will become economically productive. But there are a few passionate individuals who look beyond their own economic gains, and this method allows those people to exist and contribute their passion to society.

I do totally agree with your larger points, but these numbers just don’t make any sense, and analysis like this could do unintended damage to your otherwise good points. Would it perhaps be better to cite the industry testing practices and procedures, the volume of testing, the regulations, training, feedback loop, redundancies, and all the other safety efforts behind airline software?

Uptime is not a comparable metric in any way. Aircraft computers often reboot every flight or every day. AWS downtimes don’t typically result in fatalities. The fall time of the 737 MAX before it impacts isn’t ‘downtime’, and simply cannot be used to summarize the reliability of aviation software as a whole. Arriving at 250000x this way makes it a meaningless number, and you didn’t account for the bug in the linked article in your reliability estimate at all.

I have one - they're more a cool decoration than a fan. If you shape the fan blades to actually move air, the motor slows down to nearly stopped under the load. That's why when you buy them in the shop the fan blades are usually perfectly flat so they don't blow any air at all, but look cool on top of your stove.
I think the description feels klunky and kludgy because it leaves out a key aspect of what physics sees in emergent properties[1]; these are properties arising out of the interaction of an ensemble of elements. And looking at your link, it seems most "emergentists" also were specifically considering ensembles. But article just says: "Emergence occurs when there is a conceptual discontinuity between two descriptions targeting the same phenomenon.", which seems too broad and so unilluminating.

Kubernetes is an almost necessary tech when you operate your own cloud and that’s where it came from: Google.

The smart people at Google knew that by quickly packaging their own internal tech and releasing it on open source they’d help people move from the incumbent AWS.

Helping customers switch IaaS hurts the both, lock in is better, but it hurts AWS way more. Proof? They made it free to run the necessary compute behind K8s control plane, until recently that was.

Are there benefits on running your biz’ web app using constructs made for a “cloud”? Sure there is, that’s why people are moving to K8s. There is real business benefits, given a certain amount of necessary moving parts. LinkedIn had such a headache with this they created Kafka.

I suspect most organisations’ Architects and IT peeps push for K8s as a moat for their skills and to beef up their resumé. They know full well that the value is not there for the biz’ but there’s something in it for them.

Maybe there exists the following distinction. Modern language, as it's actually spoken most of the time, is like a higher level programming language. The structure of our brain, combined with our senses and the uber-simple way that we're taught as infants, is like lower level OS programming (parent points to hot food - look Johnny, it's hot! hot! - makes Johnny touch the food - food hot! - blows on the food to make it colder).

Some words like good/bad, hot/cold, and important/unimportant are underrepresented in everyday speech compared to the prevalence of the underlying concepts. That's why I'd categorize them as lower level word-concepts. This distinction, about variable levels of abstraction, might be important for true AI. Think about how many years it takes for humans to develop highly abstract cognition. That whole time our operating system is being coded. Maybe we need to approach AI in the same way.

It's not just AI that can benefit from better lower-level understanding. Seeing language in the above way, we can re-frame Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy and its normative implications for human communication. Our "programming" (communication) is on average too higher level. Excessively abstract instructions make it harder to decode and process in a precise and efficient manner.
Ted Cruz wants Twitter investigated over Iran sanctions compliance
I sez: "About 15 per 100,000 college students die each year from alcohol --- poisoning, motor vehicle accidents, other alcohol-related "

But then you act as if I said they were all alcohol poisoning, when I was pretty explicit about the number.

Fatal alcohol poisoning (actually this is a number for unintentional poisoning in which alcohol is involved, so it's a tad broader than pure alcohol poisoning) in college is about 4 per 100,000 annually, for clarity. It is possible that the COVID-19 death rate could be lower than this in the college student cohort for 2020-2021.

> and if the incidence were anything like 15 out of 100000 college students per year, the news would be full of such stories.

When I hear the word intelligently used in the context of something a computer should do I start to think that perhaps the reason it doesn't do it yet because our expectations are too wide and fickle for it to work as yet.

So perhaps this is the test of AI, when it formats my code the way I want it all the time without making a mistake.
With Kubernetes, you can run multiple apps in the same cluster and let Kubernetes manage the capacity on GCP for you. Nice this you have shared headroom for all your apps versus an app per VM in your setup (I think?).

What is wrong with actually using Google’s hosted Kubernetes that would make you want to run compose yourself in their VMs and setup auto scaling, physical machine upgrades, etc.

I’m actually very happy about this for a collateral reason: there’s a lot of confusion “out there” regarding the 1.0 and 1.2 version boards (the former being those with the USB-C power ‘bug’, the latter being those that correct it) and very little clarity by sellers (at least in my neck of the woods) as to who is shipping what.

At least if one orders an 8GB unit (which was previously unavailable and therefore never released with the flaw to begin with) one has no risk of getting a flawed unit.

And this kind of points to a general lack of transparency that they should figure out how to address in the future.

I think it would take a lot of mosquitoes to take down a human.

> True, this tiny insect does not do the job on its own. What makes it so dangerous is its capacity to transmit viruses or other parasites that cause devastating diseases.

If you catch Covid-19 from a kiss, we don’t say the other person killed you. We firmly blame the disease not the person who transmits it. “Well your honor, Sally didn’t do it on her own, it was her capacity to transmit viruses or other parasites. But mostly her.”

These all seem communicable, but we don’t blame humans:

“Lower respiratory infections remained the most deadly communicable disease, causing 3.0 million deaths worldwide in 2016. The death rate from diarrhoeal diseases decreased by almost 1 million between 2000 and 2016, but still caused 1.4 million deaths in 2016. Similarly, the number of tuberculosis deaths decreased during the same period, but is still among the top 10 causes with a death toll of 1.3 million. HIV/AIDS is no longer among the world’s top 10 causes of death, having killed 1.0 million people in 2016 compared with 1.5 million in 2000.”

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-...

Yes if you infect someone intentionally that’s different, but the mosquito isn’t trying to kill you.

From the article:

> (humans by the way are second behind the mosquito, causing 475,000 deaths every year)

If it’s not humans killing when we transmit, then it’s not mosquitoes. If the transmitter is involved then humans crush mosquitoes.
The quality of the American university system is foundational to why America is such a powerful and influential country. Suggesting any significant disruption to the university system that currently exists sounds like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
