Good to hear metrics correlation might be useful to you, just as background you can get more info here: https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/netdata-cloud-metric-correlat...

At the moment it's based on a short window of data so the focus is more for short term changes around an area of interest you have already found.

Longer term it would be cool to be able to use an anomaly score on the metrics themselves (or if a lot of alarms happen to be going off) to automatically find such regions for you so its more like surfacing insights to you as opposed to you having to already know a window if time you are interested in.

They need to act to get the ban rescinded, they can't just ignore this issue away.
Signal is going to start attacking third-party tools once it's installed on your phone.

It's as though Theo decided that OpenSSH should respond to portscanners by trying to pwn the source systems.
Sounds more or less like the way punishment is handled in modern society.
Assassinating the researchers doesn't help.
I don't think that's quite it, at least not entirely. They were complaining about how everything they found on how to diagnose and inspect the problem started with downloading a third party tool.

I read this as a complaint that React doesn't provide information on what's going on that you can see and inspect (whether true or not). The equivalent for Postgres would be if they didn't document their protocol and instead referred you to a special debugger they provided, and you had to rely on that instead, making use of gdb or the equivalent much more complicated.
It appears that the U of MN researchers experimented on Linux kernel developers without those developers' consent. The researchers didn't even go through their Institutional Review Board (IRB) until the experiment was done, which is not allowed. When they finished the experiment they then got approval from their IRB, and the IRB approved it even though the people being experimented on had not consented.

There are all sorts of rules when doing an experiment on humans in the US, and they generally require consent.

To be clear: I do not know all the facts in this case, and I'm not a lawyer. But I'm glad that GregKH took the "immediate ban" step, that seemed like the safest course of action with the info he had. I think experiments to see "what can slip through review" could be really valuable & important, but when humans are being experimented on, you normally need their consent first.
This sort of incident is difficult to set expectations for reporting back.

I expect UMN to move swiftly on this but it’s a large university and may move more slowly than we’d like.
I'm much more interested in ReScript[0] than TypeScript, but I guess that TypeScript is much more appealing to C# programmers and much more supported as a whole.

Anyone here has some experience with ReScript (or ReasonML, for what it matters) to share with the rest of us?

Hi everyone!

For many years, I developed myself and tried to break the barrier that made me understand I had no control over my life and my activities. It was like someone inside me played against me and won most of the time. I wrestled with this for years, I spent hundreds of hours on therapy. I knew I procrastinated, but I thought this was because of some other problem, the problem that I couldn’t understand. In the middle of last year, when my co-founder and I scuttled our previous project due to the pandemic, I asked myself: what do I know well enough, and what are my own pain point and a pain point of many others? The answer immediately occurred to me, and I didn’t even think about anything else. I’ve done a great deal of research on procrastination, studied hundreds of papers, discussed it with many psychologists and researchers, and, along with knowledge, I got an answer to my question: what this barrier inside me is, why I have it and what I can do with it.

The result is a course. It’s based on scientific research and how I, as a person with this trait, see this problem. This is important because not a single author of this research is a procrastinator, and they have no experience with what it feels like and how to live with it. I went through all the practices I offer myself. I took a test on procrastination level in February 2021, and my score was 41 out of 45. It’s the top 10% of all procrastinators (not like it’s the top I was happy to join). Now my score is 32. It’s the lower threshold, beyond which the average procrastinators are. I’ve jumped through 2 categories, and I can see this is really so. I start doing something much easier, I am more focused, and I can regularly work for hours avoiding distractions. And damn, I love my new state.

Procrastination is not a problem of time management, lack of willpower, motivation or anything else. Procrastination is when you put things off for later or for a time right before a deadline, even though you understand the adverse consequences of such putting off. We have it as a behavioral response when we want to avoid aversive emotions from the upcoming task. That is, it’s a problem of maladaptive emotional regulation.

The product is a program that aimed to overwhelm chronic procrastination, and many creative people are among those who constantly delay their tasks. This is why you should take a survey - to figure out whether you have this problem and at what level. If your rate is high - you’re invited, if not - you’re just fine and don’t need it.

Appreciate feedback from you, guys.

The university should be policing its researchers. Banning the whole university reinforces the incentive to do so. Otherwise the fact that a contribution comes from a university researcher would bear no added trust versus a layperson.
Sounds like the podcasts from Sanspants Radio are right up your alley. "Shut Up a Second" is spitballing on a different random topic every show, and "Plumbing the Death Star" is discussion on different pop-culture related questions such as "what if Professor X ran Hogwarts?"

Their D&D podcast is probably my favorite of the genre as well.
I blew up at someone in the different thread and got roasted... but I don't understand why you couldn't talk to the team reviewing the patches...

Seriously, tell them "we're going to send 10 patches for security review, don't merge any of them, tell us if it's good or not"
Would you ever use a DVR to skip television commercials? To me, it feels similar.
None of that you have stated is even remotely relevant to the discussion at hand but appears like a bait for some kind of flamewar. I will not take this bait.

> Should the same litmus test apply to your post about the Indian condition?

Obviously. But my post is about not making assumptions about what poor people want and rather trust that they have an agency.
> What do you expect to see or hope to test for?

I think the idea is that financially secure people are more willing to speak their mind. Getting salary upfront means everyone has small scale “fuck you” money. The problem here is that most people don’t actually have a reason to care about their employer’s problems, so not speaking up is often just a strategy of least resistance.

If we assume you watch free-to-air TV (not that I do, personally), or at least used to. Do you walk away from the TV while an ad is playing? Or perhaps you have a DVR setup that lets you skip ahead if you're watching on a slight delay.

Is that any different to skipping a sponsorship segment?
I might post a similar comment, but it’d be very sarcastic. I took one look and closed the tab.

It's not just "out of fashion". Red teaming, without consent of the owners of the system being analyzed, is typically illegal.

You generally must have consent from the people being experimented on within the US.

Academia runs on egos and reputations. You can be sure the the fallout is coming.
The researchers, the researcher's bosses and pretty much every person in command at UMN had to sign off on this being an acceptable method of conducting research. This shows such an extreme lack of good faith or judgement on their part that I do not believe UMN could, or should ever be forgiven.
Their actions show nothing but criminally bad faith taking place, all the way up to the top.
The only rational response from the Kernel team is to revert all code submitted by any member of UMN and to permanently blacklist every person who has ever attended UMN or worked at UMN for any reason or any length of time.

The only way I could see this getting forgiven is if every party that could have cancelled the project is forcibly removed from holding any position of employment or enrollment at UMN, going all the way up to the head owners and managers of the entire university.

We're talking about software engineers in big tech companies, right? They're extremely well paid and would have no problem finding a new job.
It would be great if we could solve the problem by backing up and addressing a few preliminary things first. Like, DNS is a very old protocol, and it's a good protocol. But will we keep using it this way 100 years from now? It may be counter-productive to only focus on backwards-compatible fixes.

Domain registration and name serving are pretty similar, yet we treat them very differently. For both security reasons and functional reasons, it would be nice if we had one unified way to manage them both.

Other services depend greatly on DNS names, like PKI. It would be very advantageous, again for security and functional reasons, if there were better (not necessarily tighter, but better) integration between the two.

Secure connections all pretty much share the same properties. Virtually every system you can think of can be thought of as one that (at some point) requires authentication, authorization, encryption, and data integrity. So, perhaps there is a unified way we can provide all of this, the same way TCP and UDP provide a unified way of transporting either streams or datagrams. Maybe even making them OS primitives the way the TCP/IP stack is today [didn't used to be!].

If we step back and start from first principles, and design protocols that provide all the functionality we know we need (now and in the future), we could start getting ready for computing in the next century and beyond. It doesn't have to be a pipe dream, especially if we start building support for experimental protocols into devices today.
I think the "stick" the GP was referring to is applied to developers, not consumers. Developers who don't get on board with Windows ARM get... to save themselves some effort. Developers who don't get on board with M1 will have their apps running slower than their competitors' apps across the entire ecosystem within another year or two, period.
They're used to one, but new to another.

No, I was explicitly suggesting that neurotoxic amines in coffee may be building up in some, possibly genetically predisposed heavy coffee drinkers, causing loss of dopaminergic neurons and ultimately dementia, or other neurological disorders.

This exact mechanism has been shown to be the cause of a very common neurological disorder called essential tremor. Patients have a genetic predisposition for building up tremor-inducing Harmala alkaloids due to reduced metabolism.
We don't currently have any plans to address this issue specifically -- this is a good use-case for using a general package manager like conda rather than something Python-specific like pip.
1. What the student code at umn says and what i think the student deserves are vastly different things.

2. Something being grounds for expulsion and what a reasonable response would be are vastly different things.

3. The rules saying "up to and including" (aka grounds for) and the full range of punishment are not the same - the max of a range is not the entirety of the range.

I participated in IRB for a UMN campus and that’s pretty much how these things worked back then.

As long as the problem is 30+ years away most banks don't particularly care about sea level and water table rise. On a 30 year mortgage they will have recovered their money. Now, when it's 10-20 years out that's when you'll see banks being more cautious. And by then it will be someone else's problem.
I think they misrepresented the project so that it would be classified as “not human research”. It’s unclear whether the misrepresentation was intentional (to obtain the exemption) or unintentional (they were genuinely unaware of the human impact).

And the same structure prevents accountability, promotes political infighting and causes a misalignment of objectives all around. I hated every single minute of working inside such organizations.

The elephant in the room is that there has to be a level of tension, of slight mutual discomfort, of a bilateral transaction present in employer-employee relationship. It needs to be very dull and implied but it has to be there to make sure incentives are aligned and objectives are consistently met.

Tenured public service and unions show what might happen when this inconvenient element is missing.
Good point on your second statement.

On your first statement, it's less that the dollar is not losing value, and more that scarce items are gaining value compared to non-scarce things. So your Netflix subscription is staying the same, but the house near the coast has doubled. Inflation is never the same across the board. All it means is that a smaller group of people are laying claim to the scarcest items, and they are crowding out the hopes of an increasing number of people to one day be able to afford those scarce items.
> Sure, I'll take your statement that AirDrop hashes aren't as robust as they should be at face value, but I'm going to need you to provide more information. Of course, the PDFs have this, but the article would do well to better summarize.

Does the article they published about that which they link to not provide enough details? In that news release they referenced, they say "However, the research team shows that with new and optimized attack strategies, the low entropy of phone numbers enables attackers to deduce corresponding phone numbers from cryptographic hashes within milliseconds."

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding what you're asking, or if you just didn't notice that they provide the info you want fairly easily and succinctly already.
Basically now they can do a meta study on how the review process of IRB has flaws.
As shown, if you intentionally try to bypass the IRB, apparently you can. It's even reproducible.

In Q1, Apple took 8% of the PC sales worldwide. This means that Intel lost 4% of the market share in one quarter since Apple only uses Intel CPUs before.
Yeah, especially considering that the IRB said the research was out of scope (specifically that it was not "human subject research") rather than indicating that it was ethical. Kind of like the distinction between a court not having jurisdiction and a court declaring you didn't break any laws.
I disagree. There's not a single word of apology in it.
Pine is one of the most common firewoods here. I tend to go for gum, which is also an introduced species. And, yes that's often felled to be used only as firewood.

I should point out that there are plenty pine species that aren't considered invasive pests like wilding pines are; for example one of our bigger exports is radiata pine.

No development model is protected from malicious actors, and this is not unique to OSS. Could the Ministry of State Security sponsor a student to study at the US, and then after graduate, that student gets a job at Microsoft, and then introduces vulnerabilities in Windows? In theory all patches should get code reviews, but could someone get a bug past code reivew? Sure!

You can try to detect it before it happens, but very often you won't catch it until after it's landed in the source code repository, and some cases, it'll actually make it out to customers before you notice.

It's true for proprietary code; it'st true for open source code; it's true for x.509 CA certificates[1]. We should still do the best job that we can, if for no other reason that there are plenty of zero-days which are introduced by human error, never mind by malicious actors.

Not to diminish your experience, but you are an exception. Most poor people stay poor, no matter how hard they work.

And most poor people prefer free food over no food. You are right that most would prefer a dignified job and agency over their lives, but to say that people prefer to starve than to accept aid, or that it is just fine as a matter of policy to let people starve (or die of diarrhea as hundreds of indian children do each day as they don't have access to clean water) is just absurd. No one wants to watch their children die.

Again, i dont doubt your lived experience, but please do reflect on your views and whether they even remotely reflect reality.

Our company experiments with indoor location tracking using UWB beacons. We've got a few demo kits from different vendors to test it out.

Overall, If you have a UWB receiver devices installed ~ every 4-5 meters (15 feet) you can triangulate beacon's position to a pretty precise degree (around 10 cm / 4 inches accuracy). You can even detect the height of a beacon above the floor.

However, triangulation is the key. Often we have to install extra receivers just to deal with big columns and barriers, sources of intense electromagnetism (like big electric engines or microwaves), or some materials (glass doors turned out to be a major problem, wooden doors - not so much).

I'm not sure how accurate a positioning can be with your phone acting as a sole UWB receiver. Clearly Apple can make it work sufficiently well for an everyday use, but it won't be as precise as they show in carefully constructed demos.
But then the laborers who process the food have to go to work. And often work in close quarters in factories where it's easy to spread the virus.

Apparently Google owned Duck.com ever since it acquired Duck Corp. in 2010[1], and only 2-ish years ago transferred the domain to DuckDuckGo.

However, Duck is rather generic-sounding and will require $$$ in ad-spend to get name recall. Even though it's awkward, DuckDuckGo is certainly memorable, sometimes that works in a product's favour.
