does getting a humanities degree improve one's soft skills, or do people that already have good soft skills choose and succeed in humanities degrees?

I took several upper-level humanities courses in college (almost enough to get a classics minor), but I don't really feel like they improved my ability to communicate/network in the office. in my experience, these courses teach the material and the skill of writing a very specific kind of formal research paper that doesn't have much to do with business or technical writing. while you don't directly use a lot of the concepts you learn in a CS degree, I find the technical background much more useful in my day-to-day work.
A schoolyard bully goes to a group of children, and tells one “I want all your lunches, or I’m going to break your legs.” The children refuse, and their legs are broken; but it’s the children’s fault for not allowing the bully to take some of their lunch, and break one of their legs each.

The meaning of all words changes. It would be ironic if the meaning of the word hacker would be unchangeable, impenetrable.
The random stuff at Intel are usually little experiments to see how complimentary tech drives Xeon sales. When they pitched IoT stuff, the real "sale" was to get Intel-based edge devices in place to herd the IoT. And to get "intel" about what customers are planning in the place around opportunities/threats like 5G.

I think that effort in particular (about 5 years ago for me) was a warning sign about Intel -- they didn't internalize that your smart water meter would have a chip beefy enough very soon to connect to a cellular or other long range network and just hit a cloud endpoint.
That's just silly, Wal-Mart would be the most valuable company (while being far from the most profitable) if it held true.
I too would like whichever group I happen to fall in to get an yearly bonus.
>Is there an open source solution for processing streams of structured and unstructured logs and routing then onward?

https://securityonion.net

It doesn't route them onward - it will collect, aggregate and provide you the tools to correlate/analyze logs across your environment. Enable the built in network monitoring tools too and you have not only a powerful tool to help you with application management, but security as well (hence its namesake).

Beware - in pealing back the layers of your environment you can really get sucked in. I never seem to have enough hardware to do what I want with SO but it's pretty amazing what you can do with it.

EDIT - wow, I'm a little shocked that no one else has brought Security Onion up. I guess they need to up their advertising game!

I cannot find this in the documentation (I'm sure it's there somewhere) so let me ask here. How long does a function stay warm? As in, a client makes a request that invokes a function, the function processes the request and responds to the client. Now what? Does the same "instance" of a function stay alive to handle another request for a certain period of time or is it immediately released?

I'm asking because sometimes it's necessary to do some expensive work in order to respond to the request and doing the same work on every invocation is not necessary. For example on AWS Lambda, one of our functions launches a Chromium instance which can take a few seconds, but because the function can stay alive after a request is done, the same Chromium instance is immediately ready on the next function invocation. Other use cases involve e.g. connecting a database (which I see CF is tinkering with over at [0]).

I don't think it's intended to actually subvert Google. It's simply interesting.

It's one thing to speculate on taking over a company through unconventional means, but gradually chipping away at a company using the very thing that powers it is pretty interesting. It's hard to imagine doing that in 2005, even harder to imagine doing it now.

They will fail. If they release anything less than a card as fast as a standard nvidia card and with as good driver support, they have absolutely no chance.

nvidia has a huge market, people buy their stuff because it's fast and there's software support for everything from AAA games to scientific/engineering modelling to ML.

intel took far, far too long to come up wiht a viable graphics ecosystem to ever be successful.

Well, if a company wants to reach its own followers on Facebook, it is forced to pay for that.
I'm sure they are aware (or at least some people there are aware), especially since it is repeatedly pointed out on the internet. They just might not care.
If price weren’t the determining factor, the average iPhone buyer wouldn’t live in a household in the US with A 40% higher income.

I can tell you based on where I live and who I work with, there are many people who are low and moderate income who own iPhones now.

They don’t buy their phones outright like some people do; they usually can’t drop $1000 in one go on something that’s not their rent.

However, low and moderate income people can pay $10 or $20 a month for the phone while using prepaid services.

To be blunt, that’s why poor inner city kids can rock very nice iPhones.

An iPhone SE is $200 on a carrier deal; it’s a better phone than anything else in that price range that low and moderate income people can afford.
> It's not clear to me that larger models will solve this in the limit; take the way GPT3 fails on addition past a certain number, and the fundamental inability for transformers to learn certain algorithms.

GPT-3 was OpenAI exercise in how far pure scaling can get you. They have used some 2 years old method. Already at the point when they started training GPT-3 there were readily available remedies to many of GPT-3 issues. Given how they energized the wider community I'm sure even more focus will be given to improving language models in the following years.

Some rough ideas right now:

- People think that cherry-picking the best GPT-3 examples is cheating - why? Train a model that will be selecting the best examples for you. My proposition is to train a model that guesses whether some text was GPT-3 generated or human made - select samples that look the most human like.

- Use a good search method to look for the best samples. Monte Carlo Tree Search? AlphaZero? MuZero? If MuZero can play a games of Chess, Shogi, Go and all of Atari then way should it not be able to play a game of what word will come next?

- Hook up the language model to a search engine. Instead of writing a whole program yourself, why not to copy-paste some stuff from StackOverflow with some slight modifications?

Etc.

It doesn't address the issues with agency, grounding and multi-modality, but it's a good road map for the next 2-3 years.
This would be good. I'm waiting to see high performance PCs running on ARM CPU instead of x86.
I'm not writing off x86, but I think AMD is going to define the future of x86 (like the did before), instead of Intel.
FWIW, hardening seedlings to sunlight from a greenhouse is all about switching their spectrum, and it takes 3 to 7 days depending on what plant you're talking about. Gardener's rule of thumb. 4/6/8hr exposure etc.

I wonder if anyone has used RGB LEDs and tormented plants with short cycle color changes yet? There's much anecdata and debate over spectrum vs efficiency in indoor gardening, but it's faded as power density became more obviously dominant, i think.
In Romania, fake news try to say that NATO military bases run a prostitution rings with underage girls.

>The questioning only really has a loud voice in places like the USA with horrendously expensive higher ed systems. I don't really hear a lot of griping about the cost of education or opining on internet alternatives when I'm in Munich or Vienna.

There's also a growing anti intellectual movement in the US, you even see it here on hacker news. If you start with the premise that education is at best useless and at worse actively harmful of course the cost would be questioned.
Yeah, I've heard this before. Ask anyone in Spanish journalism how well their laws asking for the same thing worked out for them. Spoiler: It's a complete fail.

This is the real problem. None of the other conspiracy theories, "Google is evil", profit-based claims, etc. are the cause. The problem is that people are horrible, awful, disgusting monsters, and letting them communicate on the Internet in public forums is a terrible idea.

HN is literally the only public forum I use, and only because it's small enough and obscure enough that most of the trolls stay away, and a couple moderators can keep it usable.

Yahoo removed comments, ridding the world of one of the larger cesspools. Reddit's entire raison d'être is to serve as a fetid pool of the worst the Internet has to offer.

Why wouldn't something similar to RISC V happen in the GPU space?
Designs of future ARM versions could end up being skewed toward NVIDIA's needs or worse, designed to or information withheld in ways that kill other embedded products and monopolize the embedded market.

They could theoretically simply stop licensing ARM to Broadcom, although that might invoke some anti-trust suits.
Picked up this exact one, maxed out the storage but WiFi-only, with an Apple Pencil. It hasn’t obviated my laptop which I do entirely different work on, but it has almost completely obviated my phone since I can route calls through it. I was planning to buy a new phone this year, but seeing as how it gets about 5 minutes of weekly active usage on average since I bought this iPad, which is like 99% camera and 1% Apple Pay, don’t think there would be much point in that.

This has also replaced paper notebooks for me which is what I bought it to do, and I had a pretty sizable book collection on my phone which has been shunted over.
Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but opinions are my own

I totally disagree. Red Hat patches/maintains things regardless of whether people pay for it. Everything is always available open source. There are numerous derivatives of RHEL that get these for example.

The money you pay for Red Hat stuff is for support. There are always free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer alternatives of red hat products.
Reddit does offer the option to "use old Reddit" if you're signed in. I only learned about this recently, maybe it's common knowledge.

I often browse Reddit with Safari and there haven't been very many extensions available for it. Certainly none to do something simple like this, since it would have to be made available through the app store.

PS: Apple has announced that FireFox and Chrome extensions can be made available for Safari in Big Sur, although it seems like they have to go through a convoluted process and probably pay $99/year for the privilege.

Oh that's rich. Comparing a company that enabled a technology never seen before, which enters into voluntary agreements with other companies who create technology never seen before, to schoolyard bullies extorting kids and stealing their money.

I love how working in tech can warp your sense of reality.

And by the way, tell us, what analogy applies to the $ amounts that Koda takes off the top, before it pays its musicians royalties or gives them their share? I'm sure that wouldn't be breaking legs in their view, now would it?

I had heard of the similar Purple Earth Hypothesis[1] wherein organisms with photosynthesis based on retinal arose in the oceans early on. Chlorophyll-based life developed deeper and took advantage of the red and blue light that filtered through.

The hypothesis seems pretty speculative, but maybe it's compatible with this new research, which could explain why green plants came to dominate despite retinal being simpler.

Google will outlast the EU. Tensions have been high for years and Brexit seems to have less repercussions than initially thought. On top of that you have Germany strong arming France into giving weak nations billions. Its shaky from the weakest to the strongest countries.
Not sure that is actually a good idea as kids with well of backgrounds tend to get the higher tracks.

The challenge is on the GPU side. Now is they could finalize the V extension people could start using that for graphics.
The forgiveness instructions in the article are very detailed and tie together many current popular ideas. Some people really like complicated systems, so maybe having so much to do helps them by crowding out the bad feelings that cause suffering. Another approach is to decide that being the judge is no longer your job, and to simply stop caring. It can be hard because caring about the injustice to done to you often reflects your best values: kindness, fairness, compassion. To turn off the judge in your brain can feel like you’re abandoning your values. But forgiveness is actually work, and you have to ask yourself if it’s one of those jobs that don’t really need to be done. So the trick is separate your values from the work of being the judge, and choosing to keep your values but let other people be the judge. This approach has helped me.
I personally frame it as taking responsibility for your feelings - recognizing that you have in large measure conscious choice over the way you feel and can will it differently - and I think of it in opposition to what I perceive as a modern vogue for playing the victim, or worse, stacking up victimhood cards like they are spell multipliers and using them in a social competition to prove how much bigger of a victim you are than other people. But victimhood, as I see it, surrenders your well-being to forces external to you.

That all sounds pretty political, but everything social turns political above a certain scale.

Forgiveness is underrated, for sure. Take control over your self.

These examples are not similar to what is being discussed. Each of those were more commonly used in areas other than the cited ones.

The current discussion is more similar to how Python has become strongly associated with machine learning.

Anyone who cares about the Haskell language and ecosystem should do what they can to avoid it gaining a strong association with questionable crypto or other areas that will negatively impact wider adoption. This will also become a personal association whether warranted or not. This can be through promoting use in those wider areas or as this post does call attention to specific ones that the community should carefully consider rather than participate, because hey Haskell. It's like Haskell's Manhattan Project--choose wisely with eyes open.
> Social engineering will never be stopped, people want to be helpful.

They really do. And so you should design security systems with the assumption that your employees will actively undermine security "to be helpful" to adversaries.

> And generally speaking the cost for stopping it at non-secure businesses is going to be too high until a security incident happens.

The cost for Yubico's "Security Key" is $20 and there is a volume discount. You should buy each employee a key, and if there's no secure means by which they can be re-authorised when they inevitably lose it, a second one to keep safely for that case.

The attackers correctly anticipated that while "Can you get me Jenny in user assistance's phone number?" is just being helpful, "Can you disable Elon Musk's 2FA and give me control over his account?" is a bit... obvious. So they got themselves credentials to do that stuff. But there is no need for Twitter employees to be able to give away those credentials.

A private largest yard owner goes to a group of children that have been playing there for years, and tells one “I want all your lunches, or leave my private yard.” The children refuse, and they leave; but it’s the children’s fault for not allowing the bully to take some of their lunch, and leave.

The schoolyard made it sound like youtube was a public park. I think this still gets the point across.
I think C.S. Lewis does a good job explaining what forgiveness really means:

“For a good many people imagine that forgiving your enemies means making out that they are really not such bad fellows after all, when it is quite plain that they are. Go a step further. In my most clear- sighted moments not only do I not think myself a nice man, but I know that I am a very nasty one. I can look at some of the things I have done with horror and loathing. So apparently I am allowed to loathe and hate some of the things my enemies do. Now that I come to think of it, I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions, but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner.

For a long time I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life—namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.

Consequently, Christianity does not want us to reduce by one atom the hatred we feel for cruelty and treachery. We ought to hate them. Not one word of what we have said about them needs to be unsaid. But it does want us to hate them in the same way in which we hate things in ourselves: being sorry that the man should have done such things, and hoping, if it is anyway possible, that somehow, sometime, somewhere, he can be cured and made human again.”
Apple's customers don't care about NVidia -- they don't do serious computation, scientific computing. Our Hollywood clients all use PC-architecture machines with NVidia for video editing and rendering. The writers, etc, use Macs.

So Apple can save the cost and get higher profit margins by not having powerful GPUs in their products.
