So a large part is to lie? I don't know. I mean, yes, I get angry by my children, and I don't know any parent that does not. Probably I get angry too often too early. But I really try hard never to lie to my kids. I even show them that I am angry because I think that's part of the game. Kids need to learn that other people have emotions.

But telling stories about horrific creatures to avoid dangerous places? I don't know. I mean yes, I guess it works, but why not tell them the (horrific) truth?
It's unlikely that celebrities and politicians allow DMs from any account. I think that setting is off by default.
I really hope you're wrong. But it's not a good sign that this is the best counter-argument I could find: I'm not sure that he's smart enough to do that, and I'm not sure that he thinks long-term enough to try.

But it would explain a lot if this administration were deliberately trying to destabilize things, instead of just blundering...
I can think of two immediate uses for the stable version of whatever comes after GPT-3.

A lot of code I write is actually solving the problem, and if I can have some tools to make my code better then I will definitely take them. Having a tool that can suggest certain patterns that are statistically likely to be the right approach would be great. Or maybe I'm using a tricky API that, if misused, is a security vulnerability and a tool can catch then for me because it was trained on many other uses of that API. Or maybe there's a known database of security vulnerabilities with writeups it could be trained on. There's no replacement for domain knowledge, but not everyone is a domain expert and it's better to have tools for this kind of stuff than not. I'd certainly feel happy to have something that _usually_ suggests something correct than have no help at all.

A lot of the code I write is also not actually solving a problem, but writing boilerplate nonsense because in a software system that's complicated enough, I can't always "just" solve the problem. Maybe that means generating some data types a certain way because the library I'm using expects them to be there. Or sometimes there's a common (but verbose) pattern for using an API where I can have a bespoke template generated within the context of the other code, then put markers in my editor where it thinks I should double-check that the code is right. There's probably all kinds of other "smart templating/codegen" applications I haven't thought of.

I already have tools to help me out with this in the form of autocompletion, templates, static analysis tools, and refactoring tools. But they operate in a different space. I'm excited for a more probabilistic set of new tools to help me do things better and automate some of the boilerplate I need to write today. They may not always be correct, but tools could be built around them to suggest to me when I need to double-check something before simply committing the code. All of this would make me more productive and probably allow for more developers to work in specific domains where they can't today.
Immutability and structural equality will make these extremely useful. I'm concerned how the masses of recent grads and bootcamp grads will interact with these. One of my favorite JS interview questions is "what is the difference between var, let, and const?". I don't reject candidates based on it, I just like hearing the different answers. I only heard the correct answer once out of all the entry-level developers that I interviewed.
Really nice, exactly what I need just now as I'm setting up a remote workstation/part-time server at my families farm, but did not have a motherboard with IPMI/iKVM at hand.

Oh, and thanks for using Proxmox VE! Was positively surprised when I saw our installer flash up out of nowhere :)
Fully half of your post is a sarcastic rant.

>why not determine what an employee at a given level is worth to the company, and pay that amount to anybody

Because the same salary may be worth the same amount to the company paying it, but it is not worth the same amount to different people receiving it. Among two equally valuable people, one may accept and one may decline due to salary's differing value to them based on environmental factors. This is obvious to businesses, and is generally accounted for (fairly or unfairly).

This is a good idea! Latency can be a big pain for web conferencing. Are the video streams sent directly to the other clients, or are they relayed through a central server?

I love my tesla as much as the next guy but take electrek articles with a grain of salt. He's pretty biased.
I've noticed that with my skype-to-the-office setup where I leave it on, the resource use (mostly bandwidth) bugs me in the back of my mind.

That makes the experience a little uncomfortable as an always-on thing.

I'd definitely like to know that resource use was minimal when I wasn't in a conversation or actively engaged with the system.

I think that having the system as an appliance is a plus and makes it more comfortable to just leave on - versus something running in a window on a screen from my work laptop.
Let's not forget this is almost exactly what happened during the 2016 election. Both the RNC and DNC were hacked.[1] The RNC data simply was never leaked. There are multiple reasons why that might have been the case.

Also, some harmful effects take time to show up.
Reflectively pointing to imperatives like "normal or OK" when someone is having a moment of questioning imperatives that have got them this far is unhelpful. Why does it matter what's normal or OK? Maybe the thing that OP should be doing is something that's considered by many to be abnormal or not OK. If you want to convince OP that they should be working harder then fine. I'm not saying that's the wrong conclusion, but at least give a reason that's more useful than (a) other people are suffering therefore work (makes no sense) or (b) do what's normal or OK (why?) or even (c) you have a moral duty because you're being paid well (unconvincing as an argument and psychologically unmotivating).
That's not necessarily true. There are VMM or hypervisor projects that utilize seL4 for x86 and ARM [1][2][3]. In this situation there isn't really one that is in "control". You could also have other threads or components that have higher privileges that can maybe do other monitoring or control activities.

Glad you posted this but...

This is one of those multi-day, multi-faceted topics that need us to have many conversations until it's stopped.

Recall the SOPA & PIPA protests of last decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA

There were more than a few discussions here
That is really interesting. I have an ancient T61p from I think 2008 running Fedora, which works fine for basic stuff. I would love to upgrade it because it's built like the proverbial brick shithouse and has a great keyboard and a 4:3 display (which would also need to be updated). But it's probably impossible without more or less completely rebuilding the laptop.
But the stats are converging upwards, and it's dishonest to throw an unrelated number out there like it's a useful fact. In May they suggested a 0.4% IFR [1] so conditions and fatality estimates have gotten worse. That's an extra million citizens dead if everyone gets it.

There is another traditional FPGA use case where you need real time data capture or signal generation. That seems to be getting eaten from the bottom now that there are really high speed MCUs that are easier to program. It's less efficient, but easier to develop for.
Sounds like Google 2010. You'll never receive a promotion. Have you been through a performance cycle to see what you're rated?

I was in the same position many years ago, but they used the lack of output to try sabotaging.

Money is all that measures these jobs. Even if able to do something at a startup, the company/product will likely be shuttered within a short period of time. That is, there'll never really be an opportunity for it to shine or be used. You could've just done that at home. Further, the shuttered company lives on as a technicality to still own everything you did with them.

If able to also work stable/normal hours and only 5 days/week, that is another positive step. I spent hours day on night working on that nothing. Set hours leaves time outside of work. Waste not, eh?

Definitely save. At least 50% of take-home salary. To a high-yield investment account, even if just buying into the S&P 500. Avoid debt. Always pay cash, even for a house.

You may have problems finding another job with nothing to represent your time. On the other hand, supply and demand. Beggars and choosers. More importantly, most just lie on their resume anyway.
They do use Iridium, but its not clear who runs the end-service...if you use the SOS feature, it contacts a Garmin center (i believe), who then dispatch the appropriate services. Its not an actual sarsat plb.

So if Garmin's system is down, there is a very real risk that these services won't have anyone on the other end to answer the call.
Funny enough, to the last point, someone drafted an IPv4+ spec that does something like that.

see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tang-ipv4plus-03

Do you have any recommendations for digital mapping solutions that “just work” without connectivity?
It wasn't in the scope of this audit, but it's still somewhat concerning... PBKDF2 with SHA-256 (a super fast hash with hardware support) as a key derivation function (which should be slow and difficult and hard to do in hardware)? That doesn't sound right. The answer provided (cross platform compatibility) doesn't sound satisfying.

Was this discussed with the prior audit?

EDIT to add: Here's the 2018 "cryptographically right answer" on password hashing ( https://latacora.singles/2018/04/03/cryptographic-right-answ... ):

Password handling

Percival, 2009: scrypt or PBKDF2.

Ptacek, 2015: In order of preference, use scrypt, bcrypt, and then if nothing else is available PBKDF2.

Latacora, 2018: In order of preference, use scrypt, argon2, bcrypt, and then if nothing else is available PBKDF2.

You care about this if: you accept passwords from users or, anywhere in your system, have human-intelligible secret keys.

But, seriously: you can throw a dart at a wall to pick one of these. Technically, argon2 and scrypt are materially better than bcrypt, which is much better than PBKDF2. In practice, it mostly matters that you use a real secure password hash, and not as much which one you use.

Don’t build elaborate password-hash-agility schemes.

Avoid: SHA-3, naked SHA-2, SHA-1, MD5.

EDIT to UPDATE:

Bitwarden has commented (about an hour ago) that they'll fix this! Cool.

Haven't used Jitsi Meet before, but for 1-on-1, I'm pretty sure Sidekick has that in their dev pipeline already -- tbh, having them provide the device/stand and the features to automatically handle reminding me to join/simple single-press to open the chat make the experience far simpler than using a software-only solution. For the intro $25/mo, this is a no-brainer if it improves communication, even just for one good conversation.

A bad peace is better than a good war.

As anyone who's ever had a war fought on their soil will tell you.

When was the last time a war has been fought on your country's soil? How many times since then has your country brought war to another's?

Your opinion might change were you on the receiving end of these adventures.
I think it's a fallacy to think that you are smarter if you land a job at a Big N company. I know a few, you I wouldn't qualify as smarter than average on any scale are working at those companies because they happen to get good referrals and got lucky on interview days.
I believe the point is that you can have perfect syntactic compatibility, but that means nothing when your program calls boost::asio or a Common Lisp defmethod and you want to interpret it as Haskell.

The only way this could work is if you write the whole stdlib in your AST system.

Of course, this still won't mean your lazy Haskell program works as an eager C program. Language semantics are too different, even between similar languages, you'll ALWAYS hit corner cases on anything more than a toy program. Even if you translate C# to Java. Well, maybe C to C++ will work decently, as few programs use the diverging features.
I don't know if it's common, but does it matter? Doesn't the PE firm that owns your employer get to decide how you spend your work time?
You don't know how other peoples' libraries work, and that's fine.

I think in this case the argument is that the author of the library also doesn't know how it works. Which means they can't fix it.
Thanks for the feedback. We're still really early so it's great to understand what people's reactions are.

We understand that Sidekick isn't for everyone and that's totally cool! We built it for those teams that work best while they're in the same room. These teams actually want to be on camera so they can turn and talk as if they're sitting side by side. Founders are a great example.
the latency is absolutely noticeable, the human brain adapts quite well though. i've switched mid-playthrough of ori and the blind forest (highly recommended btw) from a link to native 144hz and was blown away how easy the game has become :)

Puh that looks very crude.

The dashboard gives you a very bad overview. Its not even clear with one look what you are looking at.

Embedding surveillance and comms capabilities in fishing fleets is an old trick- there is even a reference in Wikipedia for the Soviets doing it in the 80s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_ship).

That's not to dismiss it- the PLAN is almost certainly using the fishing fleet to expand its capabilities, and the giant size of the "invisible fleet" has national security implications for the region. The article touches on the use of the fishing fleet to assert Chinese claims to the Spratley islands and other contested regions, which is definitely a concern for regional stability.
I'm highly skeptical of the lower ranges. Typically, a professional bass has a range down to around C2, and can hit a loud E2. There are some exceptionally low voices, especially in Russian choirs[1] that routinely hit B1s, maybe even a little lower.

To say that Axl Rose can hit an F1, is simply a mis-characterization of what vocal range is. "There was a time" simply doesn't contain any vocals in that range. Barry White did have an exceptionally low voice, but F#1 is similarly unbelievable.

David Bowie growls out an atonal "Well..." in "I took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft". How anybody assigned that a note value is beyond me.

The women have similar problems. Nine Simone hits an E2? That's an octave below where contra-altos normally operate.

It seems "range" in this article means that the singer once produced a noise that had a vague resemblance to a sung note that was interpreted by some article writer. As opposed to say, something that could actually be written down on sheet music and sung. Which is a shame because this list does include some with exceptional ranges.

I think your downvotes are entirely because you used the word “problematic” which some people feel is often used to shut down debate.

A shame, because your link pretty convincingly shows that the article’s claims about the Inuit are simply false.
This isn't a lie in the way we'd typically talk about lies. It isn't meant to deceive. It's a myth.

Sorry, I was trying to imply that it does work great over a wired LAN. I run my everyday browsers on a separate physical machine, communicating over gigabit ethernet.

> "Yaël Eisenstat, Facebook's former election ads integrity lead, said the employees’ concerns reflect her experience at the company, which she believes is on a dangerous path heading into the election.

> “All of these steps are leading up to a situation where, come November, a portion of Facebook users will not trust the outcome of the election because they have been bombarded with messages on Facebook preparing them to not trust it,” she told BuzzFeed News.

This is pretty damning stuff, coming from named, authoritative sources inside the company. I'm hopeful that the recent advertiser boycott will help shift priorities with leadership at the company, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's going to be impossible to tell if AI will replace humans for a very long time. Demand for software is increasing at a rate that will mean new engineers are needed for decades yet. We're not even close to "peak engineer". AI might chill that demand a little but it won't stop it. When demand for new software starts to slow (maybe never?) will it become obvious what the impact of AI on developer jobs actually is.

This is similar to the effect of robots on the automotive industry. Since they were introduced to car manufacturing in the 80s there have been vast numbers of robots implemented in every car factory - and yet the number of people employed making cars is still going up. The reason is because the demand for cars is also increasing at a staggering rate. If it levels out (which won't be for a long time as we're only just starting with electric cars) only then will we actually see the full effect.
I would say that’s more a problem of xenophobia, with a touch of profiteering than a problem with the lockdowns per se.

Ha.

The swiss had something like 50 murders TOTAL of which only 3 were unsolved. That's something like 0.5 per 100,000?

The USA is probably an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE higher?

The solve rates for crimes in the USA is horrendous - something like 35% in places like Baltimore.

Before we talk about how little the swiss have to show for their approach, perhaps we should allow them a touch of credit for creating a system that has reduced homicides AND led to the identification and conviction of those who commit them?

And maybe do something about the 15,000+ people killed per year in the US?
Sounds like a pretty sweet gig if making money is the primary goal of employment.
This is great feedback. We wanted to make all communication on Sidekick bi-directional -- if I can see you, you can see me. This is to prevent any abuse of the product.

The idea makes sense though, and it's something we'll definitely think about.

Appending MAC to address is a privacy nightmare and is going away with privacy extensions. (I dont want people to know what NIC i have and potentially track me by looking up who bought it).

Because of that DHCP may be needed and ARP as well... nice right?

Getting rid of NAT is also questionable and there are now tools to do NAT with IPv6. So common sense and learned practices win. (I still prefer NAT and firewall, dedicated servers can have port forwarding or separare ip allocated)

Address space is the only feature worth anything as original poster mentioned.
