Niche is fine. I don't know why people are obsessed with languages becoming dominant, or enjoy calling languages "dead". I don't need everyone to use Clojure. In fact, I'd rather prefer that my competitors use something else, because it gives me an edge over them.

I don't have "expectations", I think "hopes" is a better word here. I hope to continue to profit from the core team's thinking and be able to use the tools they create and ideas they generate.
You can get 500/500 fiber for like €35/m in Estonia (if you bundle with your phone). Gigabit for the €50 range.

That sounds great, but considering the average salary is about €1500/m it’s actually really shit.
I think it will filter copy paste programmers, and that is for good.
I've been tinkering with the idea of writing a service agent that detects when my Garmin GPS watch is connected to my desktop (where / how I charge it) and automatically pulls down any new activities to store locally as a backup.

Starting around 2012... I used to scrape my activities off of the Garmin Connect website, I eventually got tired of the manual nature of this process and also having to keep up with changes they made to their site. After that, I used something called, I believe, Tapatirik, for a while, to automatically sync them to a Dropbox account. But, it wasn't flaky sometimes, so I eventually gave up entirely and just turned on the sync to Strava option. But that also has spurious failures that are annoying to deal with. And on and on it goes...

Frustrating is one word for it. I'm at a point where I find it to be completely anti-consumer.
I can upload basic metrics from my Fenix 3 (steps, HR, etc) and see them in the app but I can't upload an activity I did earlier today (a run) to see the stats on it.

We totally understand that this product isn't for everyone. Sidekick works best for teams that actually want to feel like they're in the same room with an always-on video. These are really fast-paced teams like cofounders or operations teams.

Could someone in the know inform me as to whether or not my knee jerk reaction of "couldn't this individual possibly contribute to the Tor project instead?" is warranted?
Awesome product, and the subscription model is really really smart!

Is there support to plug in headphones and microphone? For instance, if you're in a situation where there's background noise (a partner who may be doing their own activities, or kids/pets prone to make loud noises) Sidekick would still be tremendously useful. One setup might be to keep it default-unplugged so you can hear a colleague who wants to ping you over speakers, but you'd put on a headset with a directional mic built in quickly before replying.

The packet signature thing is maybe sort of interesting, but it's not hard to block Tor exit nodes; Tor themselves makes this easy:

#!/bin/bash
addresses=$(curl -s https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist?ip=<your-server's-ip> | sed '/^#/d')

if [ -n "$addresses" ]; then
/sbin/ipset flush tor
echo "$addresses" | while read address; do
/sbin/ipset -q -A tor "$address"
done
fi

Add that to a cron job and your form abuse traffic falls off a cliff.

"Members of the LSST science team said last month that, assuming the full deployment of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, nearly every exposure from the observatory within two hours of sunset or sunrise would have a satellite streak. During summer months, when twilight times longer, there could be a 40 percent impact on twilight observing time, according to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, or AURA, which manages the LSST project for the National Science Foundation.

“Because of scattered light in the optics by the bright satellites, the scientific usefulness of an entire exposure can sometimes be negated,” AURA said in a statement last month. “Detection of near-Earth asteroids, normally surveyed for during twilight, would be particularly impacted. Dark energy surveys are also sensitive to the satellites because of streaks caused in the images. Avoiding saturation of streaks is vital.”"

Even if a few million people signed up for that (which is a stretch IMO), it amounts to chump change that probably doesn't cover the cost of their content moderation team alone. You can't build a business on $12/year.

I didn't want to focus too much on GPT-3, actually I tried to avoid discussing it beyond using it as an introduction to the topic. It's more of a general discussion of why I think AI writing code is a good thing for Software Engineers.

In a way that's kind of the point - the implementation details and the capabilities of GPT-3 or any other model aren't that relevant because whether AI writing code will make Software Engineers obsolete isn't a question of whether it will work, it's more a question of the extent to which the job of a Software Engineer is to write code per-se, which in my view it's not.

> Like having drugs dispensed at government facilities where users were offered counseling and rehab, and an area specifically for getting high.

I've read that this approach has been pretty successful where it's been tried. the theory is that doing it in a controlled environment removes a lot of the "fun" for the users so more of them eventually quit. additionally, it makes the use of hard drugs less visible, so fewer people end up picking up the habit.

I have to suspect that there's a point where you introduce too much friction though. if it's too annoying to go to the government facility, it might become tempting to just buy illegally. for instance, there is still a market for bootleg cigarettes even though anyone 18/21 or older can buy them at any gas station or convenience store. for some people it's worth buying them illegally to either evade the tax or purchase less than a full pack at once. I've also heard from my friends in CA that there is still a thriving illicit weed market for similar reasons.
I would agree that most recommendation engines are as you described. However, my conclusion was that this is a product of people.

Ad revenue increases with time spent on the site. So the goal is to get people to spend more time, if people genuinely wanted to engage with others of differing beliefs, or be show content outside of their obvious interests, then it would make sense to do this in order to increase the magic “engagement” numbers?

So the fact that it’s not happening suggests to me at least that most people are quite happy in their echo chamber?

These vehicles with taller profiles often don't have more space than their platform-equivalent wagon or hatch variants. Sometimes, they're actually smaller. They just have worse aero and therefore worse fuel economy, because people like to sit higher.

~Nobody is buying a Kicks/C-HR/HR-V to go offroad/fishing/etc. Nor do these vehicles offer more space compared to similarly priced or similarly capable vehicles in these manufacturers lineups. They simply have a confidence-inspiring seating position and look cool.
You could still encrypt all the stored data in the cloud and delete everything that is unencrypted.

Since most of the historical data that customers upload is in the Garmin cloud, not on their local devices (I believe the local device only stores a small period of recent activity), this potentially means a lot of lost data for customers.

I would also imagine things like accounts and their relations to hardware devices (which account is associated with which device) is stored in the cloud somewhere, so those associations alone are important for synchronizing data to the cloud.

This will be a mess to cleanup if true, if they don't have some kind of separate off-site backups outside of this compromise.

This article would have much less of a problem with CSS if they actually used the cascade. All those instances of double underscore in class names should be two separate classes: ".author-bio__name" becomes ".author-bio .name". Then you can style the generic .name while also having control over specifically author names.

The end of the article comes to the same kind of conclusion (use multiple classes), while also using CSS as a style standard. But the beginning shouldn't even be an option.

Let me guess, Big-4? boutiques in the UK don't usually charge that kind of day-rate and the big banks all use their purchasing power to get day rates down.

Metasploit module for SAP “RECON” CVE-2020-6287 that adds an admin user
I had a good conversation with Tim at the 2016 decentralized web conference. I joked with him that I was one of the many people who had written two books on the semantic web.

Anyway, this article is about his original vision for the web, not the semantic web. When he talks now, I get the feeling that he is disappointed that the SW/linked data did not really take off. That said, from my perspective linked data, the use of standard Ontology’s, open knowledge graphs like DBPedia and Wikidata, and some hope for more integration into real AI systems (not just deep learning) is possible.

As the founder of a remote company this defeats the purpose for me. Benefits of remote:

- No commute

- No office politics

- No forced schedule

- Less meetings

- More writing

- Forced communication

- No "assess in seats" culture

In part, this seems to defeat at least:

- No forced schedule

- Less meetings

- No "asses in seats" culture

My hunch is that your market research consisted of only talking to companies that are just now adopting remote as a result of COVID. Obviously those companies want to recreate the draconian politics of a forced-commute workplace.

They are contributing to the Tor project by sending detailed vulnerability reports. As for demanding that they fix/upstream changes themselves, then yes, that's likely too big of an ask, as even these reports are a gift. Tor has paid employees. "PRs welcome, wontfix" is not acceptable for security vulnerabilities in a security product.
So you told your kids Santa Claus doesn't exist at the first possible opportunity? There are many positive reasons to lie.
It can simultaneously be true that 1) FAANG employees (including myself) are compensated and rewarded well above the national average, and potentially better than any other stable option available, and 2) FAANG employees are not adequately compensated for the value and revenue they generate for the company.

Amazon does not get the richest CEO in the world by truly compensating employees what they are worth to the company. Facebook literally tells employees that they target 90-95% of "market rate" for engineering salaries, based on location of the office they work in, and they refuse to negotiate with competing offers, resulting in massive compensation disparities between London and Seattle/Menlo Park.

I'm 35 and compensated far and above what I ever could have dreamed of making as a teenager, but when I look at the tens of millions of dollars I've personally saved the company through my actions and work, I don't consider my compensation "fair". A pat on the back, an "exceeds" rating, and a 15% increase in my bonus for that half is peanuts by comparison.
In one of the controversies discussed in the article, Facebook banned an ad on the grounds that an upside-down red triangle constitutes hate speech - it's "a triangle symbol used by Nazis to identify political prisoners", you see. So I'm not sure the concept is quite as well-defined as you're suggesting.

"An Amazon spokesman said the company doesn’t use confidential information that companies share with it to build competing products"

The Google Fonts page doesn't really do justice to how dynamic this font is -- https://www.recursive.design/ has a live demo that shows more of the options, maybe the link should be changed to their demo.

There are four dimensions and a few other flags that the font can be adjusted by in CSS: natural-width to fixed-width, Linear to "Casual", Font weight, Font slant, and cursive variants.

By tweaking any of the variable font parameters it you can get anything in the range of a "serious" monospace font to a more casual font useful for UI mockups. I don't spend a huge amount of time in the font design world but this is one of the first variable fonts I've seen that feels less like a gimmicky demo and more like a seriously versatile tool, really great work!

The reduntancy is not low. GPT-* are basic "pattern generators" for our language organ. We have pattern generators for our gait for example -- all those synchronized movements of so many muscles can be effectively controlled by a well understood circuit, to the point that even a deafferented animal can still be be made to recognizably walk.

GPT is the equivalent, but for language: it can be used to phrase thoughts. Real language however, has thoughts, GPT doesnt have any thoughts. People are impressed by how many responses it has learned, but forget that it is contains a lot of gigabytes of "compressed" text associations. It needs "something else" to become actually useful.
In the Western culture, lying is primarily connected to deception. In cultures where Semitic religions have not influenced, lying and deception are not same: one can lie, without intending to deceive. That's how one has to look at.

One can lie for multiple reasons. For instance, to avoid conflict; or because one is not in a mood. Deception is one among many reasons.

Why the western culture focuses so much on the unity between lying/falsehood and deception? This has to do with the secularization of Christianity: Christian ideas becoming less Christian, more 'universal'. Satan, falsity, lying, deception--all form the unity in Christianity; in secular thinking, Satan is pushed out, but the unity between lying, falsehood and deception is present. This unity does not exist for Inuits or Chinese or even east Indians. It is part of child rearing practices in China and in India, to teach kids to lie.

> The rebuttal to your objection is always tools like "HLS"

Yup. I know HLS has gotten a lot better recently but my impression is that, somewhat like fusion, HLS as a first-class design paradigm is always a decade away.

> FPGA tools are just some of the lowest quality garbage out there

Absolutely. I think the problem is vendors see FPGA tooling as a cost center and a necessary evil in order to use their real products, the chips themselves. Users are also highly technical and traditionally have no alternative, so (mostly) working but poor-quality software is simply pushed out the door. "They'll figure it out".

Finally, to expand on the difficulties imposed by physical constraints, I think another huge blocker to wide adoption is that FPGAs are physically incompatible. I cannot take a bitstream compiled for one FPGA and program it to any other FPGA. Hell, I can't even take a bitstream compiled for one FPGA and use that bitstream for any other device in the same device family. Without some kind of standardized portability, FPGAs will remain niche devices used only for very specific applications.
Again, a counterpoint:

I worked on hardware for something akin to a FPGA on a much coarser granularity (kind of like coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays)--close enough that you have to adapt tools like place-and-route to compile to the hardware. The programming for this was mostly driven in pretty vanilla C++, with some extra intrinsics thrown in. This C++ was close enough to handcoded performance that many people didn't even bother trying to tune their applications by resorting to hand-coding in the assembly-ish syntax.

This helped bolster my opinion that FPGAs aren't really the answer that most people are looking for, and that there are useful nearby technologies that can leverage the benefits of FPGAs while having programming models that are on par with (say) GPGPU.
Sounds a bit much. Could you have names of firms running this sort of service? and are they recruiting?

When I was working in financial firms, there were internal red teams running vulnerability scanners or manual pentest (manual requires much more planning and coordination) . No point in paying external firms £10k per app to run an automated test. I am gonna have to consider changing side if audit firms are really billing £2-4k a day for this.
