It does. My understanding is that as long as the police don’t make the suggestion, then it’s not entrapment.

If the officer asks, “hey, do you wanna bomb that building?” it’s entrapment. If you ask “would you help me bomb that building?” and the officer sells you what you think is a bomb, it’s not. Of course, the officer isn’t necessarily wearing a wire or anything, and it’s possible to phrase things carefully to suggest something without literally making the suggestion, so it comes down to the officer’s testimony (“I never suggested that he commit a crime” and maybe “I did suggest that somebody ought to pay for that behavior”) versus the accused’s.

Also, Azure is running on Windows. While majority of VMs may be running on Linux, the hosts are running Windows.

I would assume Microsoft sees competitive advantage in using their own OS and hypervisor.
Interesting, i've heard Nvidia is the way to go. Closed source, yes, but still great drivers. I saw some very concerning behavior from AMD GPUs, like not releasing decent drivers for ages after new cards were released, etc.

I also have an Nvidia right now, so.. hopefully it works great hah. Otherwise i'll be on Windows.
Everybody knows that NC does not hold the monopoly on being terrible - actually no one does hold such monopoly and this makes your statement useless truism. It fits the definition of whataboutism perfectly.

I am not defending ICE, what they do is terrible, but it is not even remotely comparable to the scale and seriousness of human rights violation in NC torture camps.

I believe that what you've linked to is legally incorrect.

Refer to, e.g. United States vs. Thomas: https://www.lexisnexis.com/community/casebrief/p/casebrief-u... ... which is an actual appeal court decision.

The defendants were at a bar. A drunken woman collapsed. The defendants put her in their car, took her home, and had sex with her while they believed she was unconscious.

In fact, the woman had died at the bar, and they had been having sex with a corpse. They could not be convicted of rape, but they could be convicted of attempted rape because they believed the woman was alive at the time.

Being factually mistaken about the possibility of a crime is not a defense to a charge of attempt, conspiracy etc.

There is no sense in which Facebook is inherently bound by the values and interests of its customers (either as individuals or in groups).

Given their power in mediating human-human communications at every scale, It would be an act of colossal self-harm to allow them to act opaquely and without constraint.

The exact nature of oversight and constraint is an evolving question, but I'm very confident the right answer isn't “none”.

In my opinion, the reason why immediate-mode API are so efficient and practical is because it helps to avoid structure duplication.

An UI, from an abstract point of view, is nothing but a big structure.

When you're writing an application or a game, you very often already have an existing structure containing everything you need.

Take a simple example : a leaderboard.

Using anything but an immediate-mode API will force you to create a second, complex structure to hold this leaderboard, and a lot of glue code to copy data to and from this structure.

Isn’t rolling stone a rock magazine? Obviously this is a super subjective list but I would expect a rock magazine to favor classic rock albums. Kinda weird they are moving away from that.
>Is there such a thing as an objective album ranking?

No, but there's such thing as a "somewhat objective album ranking".

>Actually forget the shifting landscape of music, consider the shifting landscape of people - theres been significant generational change since 2003, doesn't it make sense that albums move up and down the ranking as their relevance increases or decreases?

Not when it hasn't change that much for 3 decades prior...

>It doesn't surprise me at all that Marvin Gaye would have gone up the ranking.

As if Marvin Gaye represents some new taste/genre? It's as old or older as a lot of the stuff it went above in ranking.

And it's not like 2020 sensibilities are somehow closer to Joni Mitchel's Blue suddenly over, say, Velvet Underground (which, iirc, got dropped in ranking).
This is a travelling salesman problem. It's true that a conventional computer cannot truly solve this problem for large size inputs because it is NP-hard. Whether the inputs for an actual scheduled aviation company are large enough to make this important I somewhat doubt, but regardless:

We have good heuristics for this problem which are very close to the likely best solution. So instead of an amazing pay off for a true solution you get in fact only a slight improvement or worse in some cases merely confirmation that your existing heuristic answer was actually the best possible.
While posterity often sorts things out what a list like this misses is how big, and important, some records were when they came out. U2's Joshua Tree dropped quite a bit but it was an absolute monster when it came out.

Past experience had shown me that if your your signup button is called "Get Started" I simply won't see it!

My favourite example of this tiny anti-pattern is https://kepler.gl/

They offer amazing open source software for GIS. You can install it from GitHub - but if you click the "Get Started" button they will drop you into a hosted experience (no signup required) which is just insanely useful.

It took me far too long to figure this out, because I didn't think to click on "Get Started".

(Even "start using" would have been a huge improvement)
This study is getting a fair bit of media attention and I'm curious what others think of it. The study is large and appears to follow sound methods. My concern about it is their focus on bias. They address age, gender, and racial bias well. However there's a more obvious bias that I don't see mentioned. Dialysis patients know they are immune compromised and seem more likely than the average population to take extra precautions during the pandemic.

Is it clear Assange knew the password was to a U.S. government computer system?

Let's say Manning had the files at some point and encrypted them on his own machine with some password which would NOT give access to any U.S. government computer system? Then it wouldn't be a conspiracy to gain access to a U.S. government computer system, would it?

Once it reaches this level of complexity, one might consider setting up some kind of centralised authentication system. You can hook openssh to pull public keys off openldap, and possibly add some additional checks on it (like group membership).

This way when a developer leaves the company, you just remove their entry in the LDAP DIT and all and every access is removed.
I remember at one point (and they may be higher or lower now) that cost per click on adWords was around $35 for lots of personal injury attorney related terms.

> Stuff like multiple cursors are a few elisp lines away...

Last time I tried to get multiple cursors/selections working, it was definitely more than that, and the result was awkward and cumbersome at best. The problem is that everything else is written assuming that there's one cursor and one selection, so you can't really make a multiple cursor system in Emacs that integrates with everything else; it remains a special case.
This is the Android problem all over again. Some argue that Linux is the most popular graphical desktop/mobile OS. I think, however, that back then when we were dreaming about Linux desktops we wanted the freedom, not necessarily or only the kernel itself.

So if Linux and Unix end up dominating everything in the form of Android, MacOS and Windows, that's not a huge win for the FLOSS community.
We've used Knex and it works well provided you don't need features such as repeatable migrations.

Imo you should actually differentiate your migrations between schema changes and data mutations. That allows you to use a more powerful tool like liquibase/flyway for schema yet use your preferred language (JS/TS) for data mutations which might need other libraries.

I'm curious if people have tried this approach before.
In terms of the problem of removing SSH public keys from authorized_keys, etc we solve that problem by means of Ansible. If a developer leaves the company, he/she is removed and that Ansible task is applied to all the servers. Works fine too.

It is a bit of work but navigation with keyboard/gamepad is possible with an immediate-mode GUI, as demonstrated by the excellent work of Omar Cornut (Dear Imgui)

Curious as to what people think wrt the final question " Do we trust [OpenAI] to take on this role [of deciding who can have access to newer SOTA models and who can't]? And if not, how can academics and practitioners fight for the continued democratization of AI, as some of its most important techniques become as hard to replicate as GPT-3?"

It seems like for super gigantic models, good infra to train on cloud deployment (for which many labs can have credits / grants) would be the first priority, followed perhaps by good compression/pruning tech so after training inference can be done on one/fewer GPUs. Any other things?

The water jacket is intriguing, but doesn't it require a tonnage that's never been lifted into space yet? Had me thinking about a space elevator taking water up into space and also alleviating sea levels (to the point where much more water would be exported to something other than the shield).

It surely may be possible but involves risks and costs that no one is willing to take. Perhaps that balance of risk will change in the future.

You can always buy a domain at http://domains.Google with free email forwarding then forward say samantha@mydomain.com to samantha@mailinator.com

This gives you the ability to create accounts on sites to try them out, while being able to check emails without paying for email service or getting spam forwards to your real email.

Makes it impractical for the provider of the service to block the forward without blocking Google clients.

I used to just use Mailinator mx records but providers wised up and started doing mx record checks.
The real question is, why would you ever keep any money at all in a savings account? 100% of my net worth is tied up in various investments, with $0 dollars in both my savings and checking account.

Though if I ever do need cash, I just overdraw my checking and money/margin is drawn from my brokerage.

I then liquidate assets as needed to pay off my credit card before the interest kicks in.
Getting close to making that oxymoron a reality is the whole goal of any album ranking.

> In the story you linked, any reasonable person would have let the Germans dock.

Shit NO. Extracts from article below:

“Their application was declined because the Director-General of Health was not reasonably satisfied that the ship had a compelling need to arrive in New Zealand that reached the high threshold required”

“People in vessels travelling to New Zealand to avoid the cyclone season in the Pacific may have other genuine humanitarian reasons or other compelling needs for coming, which would need to be demonstrated in order for these vessels to qualify for an exemption – but financial loss alone is unlikely to meet the criteria.”

“‘As much as our country is known for its hospitality, New Zealand cannot become a maritime Covid-19 safe haven for everyone in unfortunate circumstances’.”

“Immigration NZ’s national manager of border and visa operations Peter Elms said their decision to knowingly travel here without approval “0’demonstrates a blatant disregard for New Zealand’s border restrictions’.”

NZ has nearly eradicated Covid again, so we are a desirable destination, and we need to ensure we are strict otherwise every Tomaz, Diyk, und Harri will be sailing here.
I assume you're referring to the integration between Windows and Linux?

Because WSL2 i've not had a single "chmod" issue, .. not sure why i would. Chmod within linux works just like you'd expect. However permissions across the OS boundary is another story.

Though TBH i'm not sure what you'd expect from chmod'ing files in the Windows side. Seems unfair to expect Linux-centric behaviors to work on the Windows installation. Eg you wouldn't expect to be able to put Windows applications inside Linux Containers, right?

Ask HN: How do you handle your editor plugin/extension security?
Over my career I have used several different editors, and I have usually customized them more or less extensively. With emacs/vim one can easily inspect the plugin/extension code for any security issue and if using a package manager, lock it to specific git commit hashes so that even if moving to a new machine, one still has the exact same code.

For example Doom Emacs is predicated on using specific commits, and not head versions of plugins, and in vim/neovim it's easy to achieve it using say minpac (although extensions like CoC in vim would be more problematic of course)

These days having to work in Java I am using IntelliJ quite a bit, but plugins in intellij are basically compiled java applications that can do anything and do not seem to be sandboxed in any way (I have not found any discussions about plugins sandbox/permissions when searching, but given plugins available it seems that is not happening). I have been considering switching to VSCode for its remote functionality, but given that its extensions are basically arbitrary javascript also with huge amounts of dependencies, it makes me a bit uneasy. VSCode has had a github issue open about sandboxing/permissions for a significant amount of time, but it does not seem to have been implemented yet. This is a bit surprising because I would've thought that an electron based editor would at least have a plugins can access only editor buffers / can not open network connections kind of permissions.

What do you do / what do you feel comfortable with in your day to day life? Not use plugins at all? Use plugins only made by the editor developer (Microsoft/Jetbrains, although of course you're still exposed to dependency security issues)? Use other plugins say firewalling the editor (via Little Snitch say)? Only ever manually install plugins and never auto update them after building them yourself from source? And does your company have any security policies about this?
Us government typically doesn’t outsource work to shell companies setup on tax evading islands
A month ago, I asked GPT-3 this question. I was attempting to write a crossover fanfiction version of Asimov's The Last Question in AI Dungeon. Unfortunately, GPT-3 didn't recognize this reference - after all, a short story is too weightless. You need a well-established collection of fictions and fanfictions in the same universe to gain any recognition by GPT-3.

My input was, roughly:

> Human: "Is it possible to defy entropy?"

> Alien: "We've asked this question to Microvac, Galactic AC, Universal AC, Cosmic AC, and AC, the most powerful supercomputer in our world. However, the only answer we got was 'THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER'."

And the only output I could get was:

> Human: "Why couldn't the computer answer the question?"

> Alien: "It's like asking a computer 'how do you pet a cat', which is meaningless to it."

GPT-3 didn't realize it was an Asimov reference, instead, GPT-3 decided to use the common trope in Sci-Fi that logical computers cannot understand human experience, which is out of context and clearly doesn't apply here.

But on second thought, I invoked this trope in an indirect way. Perhaps GPT-3 actually knew it - I should try to replicate the same context as the original story, and see how it goes.

Definitely agree, a Mac you get Mac OS, Ubuntu you get Ubuntu, Windows you get some Frankenstein of the OS, Mcafee, Dell, and various other companies applications all stitched together.

Why not store the public key in a users ldap profile, then when they login ssh can pull that with the AuthorizedKeyCommand option to sshd config. As it's in AD / ldap you can allow them to manage their own public keys via a simple portal. When a user quits or is fired, their account is disabled and this will stop the key from being used.

It's not an assumption. Self awareness has been scientifically tested in many species, most prominently by using the mirror test: testing if an animal can recognize itself in a mirror by observing if its behavior changes after surreptitiously placing onto its body a mark, which the animal can only see through the mirror. One can argue about the merits of the mirror test, but it's inaccurate to say that scientists are merely making assumptions. They're doing their best to rigorously test self awareness.
This is good. There's not much information around on this topic, and often roles seem only vaguely hinted at.

The lab I work at recently had a "worry" during recent attacks on UK science infrastructure that someone might have compromised an unknown private key someone might have stored on a third part server. The institutional response was to switch to password-based ssh only for a month (so lots of people used sshpass...) and then revoke - at the bastion - every single key listed in every single authorized_keys for every one of thousands of users in the system, before turning key access on again.

I've wondered why they didn't switch to an ssh certificate system. My best guess is the complication, maintenance, and risk profile of setting up a secure key-signing system to do this signing automatically - presumably this acts as a single point-of-failure for compromising the entire network.
