I know of nowhere else I can read intelligent back-and-forth arguments in Philosophy, Linguistics, Information about a Google Ads email—-one I find of importance as, I too have received such emails from big G over the past decade... And, like DroidScript, the experience was devastating for my business. But the more painful, the better. Failure is feedback. And because of my painful past experiences with Google, it’s impossible for me to forget. It’s a case study in Diversification vs. Focus.

Your point about security is valid. But we are already past that point when we started moving all of our apps and our data to cloud.

And deliberately so, to defuse the situation and not anger the customer further. The "we are" is of the same origin. It creates the assumption that the customer is dealing with "some Google team" that made the decision, when in fact it was one person or even just a stupid algorithm.
Both of those DHTs are using centralized signalling servers to first be able to establish any P2P connections. Maybe there has been some recent invention in DHTs, but AFAIK, 100% P2P discovery is still not "there" (meaning "accessible, fast, not using too much resources and can find other peers")

But yes, all three parts of that name have a well established technical meaning. It is a very descriptive name, once you know all the parts.
no worries dude. Ah great, I'm sure you'll find the Oura ring really useful to lead a balanced lifestyle. You are right, _managed_ stress - or, exercise - is necessary to improve fitness and resilience. I guess the trick is to stress your body enough to elicit improvements but not too much so that you end up in a chronic stress situation through over-training. E.g. I over trained last week and my HRV crashed the start of this week. I need to rest for 3-4 days, to get it back to baseline. If I continued to train I'd veer further into over-training territory and be more susceptible to illness, injury, become more irritable, less patient, etc.

If you want to learn more about HRV, the Whoop Blog [1] and Whoop podcasts [2] are great resources.

Years ago I read scientists saying that indoor air pollution was one of the largest causes of death, disease, and decreased quality of life. So I decided to take it seriously. This is one of my biggest eccentricities, as people find it very hard to believe anything invisible matters.

My biggest hack in this regard: living somewhere with low enough ambient pollution that you can open a window. Say less than 50 pm 2.5 outdoors. This reliably leads to a pm 2.5 of 4 indoors, even with windows shut, as long as I am not cooking poorly.

Then the open window will vent VOCs and CO2. Even a tiny crack of an open window in winter is sufficient. In summer you need more open.

That’s pretty much it, and the rest is making sure not to burn stuff when cooking, which mostly involves keeping the stove clean and not letting anything fall on the burners, and putting hot water in warm pans after cooking.

I measure all of this with an awair, a laseregg, and a co2 monitor. It’s pretty low effort and I feel confident the air quality is good.

If I do mess up while cooking I open windows to vent and put on a mask until it has dissipated. It’s all mostly just background habit now.
If you want to learn what Floc is for the first time you probably shouldn't start with an article titled "Google’s FLoC Is a Terrible Idea". I also don't know what it is but will just wait for a more neutral source hopefully.
Frankly, I don't find these sorts of things to be very interesting anymore. When Fabrice Bellard first released a usable PC emulator in JavaScript something like a decade ago, that was really interesting (and I had fun running Linux in Safari on an iPod touch!). But at this point, this is just "here's an emulator, which I compiled with emscripten (already ported, by the way), and which I've thrown into the automatic Chrome tab to 'app' maker".
I think it's related to the stolen Apple DLLs in their product. Any competent legal department would tell them to remove those immediately, because you don't want to get in a lawsuit with Apple over such a clear case.

I'm not sure why people are so stressed about this. GPT-3 models currently produce long chains of plausible text that's ultimately gobbledygoop. For it to be of any use at all at least some minimal control is needed.

This seems like a great first step to filtering output into something more coherent and interesting. Besides I can't imagine this technology in any serious consumer application without some basic verbal restraint
this highlights important practical implications of choosing stack that has advantage in one area but then lacks in another, packages, and then paying for it. I'm not FAANG and dont need it. In fact, now that I think about it, I should be building stuff, not learning new programming languages.
This is a problem primarily because there are nearly 8 billion people plus national borders. If we were still all "primitive" and sparsely populated nomadic hunter-gatherers, people would just migrate away from these areas and go to more temperate areas that global warming is essentially thawing. But we can't readily do that because that would mean emptying out specific nations and exporting their people to other nations and that ends up being hugely problematic.

If it were only climate change, this would be kind of meh. But it's not, so it's not.

Wow what’s the pm 2.5 in Pittsburgh? In montreal it is 40 or so, and I find with windows open the indoor level will be 4-13.

The author clearly does not have a basic understanding of (quantum) physics, yet makes the bold assertion that his "theory" explains quantum mechanics and relativity. For example, his distributed simulation idea is obviously incompatible with basic results of quantum mechanics [1]. An actual theory would make quantitative predictions beyond drawing heuristic connections in a prosaic wall of text.

Its truly impressive that you can build an academic career in philosophy by producing such content. The days where GPT-4 will advance to a faculty position in this field are probably not that far ahead.

Anything that is in web browser (like e.g most uses of protonmail) offloads all security to the security of the TLS connection.

Unless you also ensure proper certificate pining, if someone can get a court order for any accepted CA to give them a valid certificate for your domain you won't notice a thing while that someone gets your browser to run any code and e.g. dump keys, certificates or messages.

How expensive is it in Germany? Russian retailers also had a decent supply, but the 5950X cost ~$1050 in the winter, ~$990 now. Which is a little bit more than the usual regional premium but honestly not too bad. GPU prices are much much worse. Over $1200 for a 6700XT – yes the one with a seven. 2.5 times the US MSRP :/

Nowadays I try, as much as I can, to not be bound to any single "community". With the world being polarized as it is, the communities, no matter what they are centered around, are becoming very tribal in nature, sometimes wading straight into cultishness. I don't like many phenomena which plague many communities, and try to avoid them as best I can.

Communities can be full of hypocrites who can't stop talking how diverse and inclusive they are and how everyone should feel welcome and safe, and at the same time either engage or be consciously oblivious to backstabbing inside — as long as the appearances are kept.

Communities can be poisoned by newcomers who would like to reform them from the ground up not a week after joining.

Communities can contain influential members with whom you are assumed to be always agreeing, and you can be expelled for not being thrilled with their ideas. And you are expected to be aware of everything dear leaders write or shoot videos about.

The outsiders may like to cherry-pick some behavior they label "problematic" from more prominent community members and label everyone as the carrier of such behavior.

Some communities would like to drag you in and have you commit to them if you only want to contribute a little something.

I have a gas stove at home. I'm by no means a member of some kind of gas stove users community (does it even exist?). I don't share tips on using your gas stove better, and I don't spend time bickering about advantages of gas stoves over electric ones.

I sometimes do drive-by pull requests to some projects which I use myself and which proved to be useful enough. Doesn't mean I "belong" or am "bound" to those projects in any shape or form.

Is Harvard subject to the same 5% payout rule that private charitable foundations are? I really like that rule. If you're not giving out at least 5% of the capital every year, it strongly implies that the purpose of your foundation is something other than giving out charity and you should be declassified as a non-profit.
Projects have functioned just fine without elaborate governance structures. If a project is mature and the work is done, suddenly "improvers" appear, misquote Popper and write long texts about the elusive "community".

It starts innocent, but always ends badly like in the famous Orwell novel. Productive people move on to the next project or only produce proprietary software.
In this specific instance, the solution is very low cost and low effort, so the ROI is probably good.

Also, in general, the later years of your life when you've gained experience and wisdom are quite valuable to the world, it's not a bad idea to maximize those.

It is dangerous, especially without warrants and massive data trails of who requested the data and why, who looked it up, what they checked and more. Not only just from the law/security side but from people in your position, probably at a security firm that some of this is outsourced to or a govt agency that has these capabilities.

For instance, take someone in your role or even a team of someone from enforcement and someone in your role, if 1-2 individuals get in that situation that are corrupt, it can turn into a blackmail or potential business espionage scenario. Since requests/warrants are being suppressed to keep a low profile, even finding out what and how information was looked up would be easy to pass for some scammers or organized criminals. Someone could sell access to information and start targeting many people. Scams could be run on wealth or small competitors suppressed.

The other side to this is, I wonder if you worked with anyone, or if people in your role, ever looked up information on people they know or potential competitors/enemies to use against them even if they did nothing wrong? What kind of oversight would be there to watch that, especially in the more underground operations in law enforcement or national security? Cops now in most places can look up anything on your phone. Are they doing it to family/friends/business people that they want to have some blackmail or upper hand on? Are they spying on people for their benefit, not for a crime? Probabilistically yes.

The gaping hole of security is the human, a few bad people with access to that data and you have some authoritarian powers that have never been seen in history to be abused. Giving individuals that much power will end badly, there is no way someone could control themselves if there is little oversight. If a law enforcement officer or security/intel professional has to provide no trail of that, it will be abused. It will be abused even with the trail.

Potential privacy laws, competition, bad press,... but technically, nothing. Same as DoNotTrack.

In fact that's the whole idea behind FLoC. It is supposed to be a privacy improving feature! For now, the usual tracking methods based partly on third party cookies work for them, certainly better than FLoC would, and they are definitely more privacy invading.

But with things like GDPR, and with privacy being a bigger and bigger selling point, Google feels like it had to find something else and FLoC is their answer.

I don't know how the story will end but most likely in the same way as DoNotTrack, which started out badly, and turned into a joke when browsers started enabling it by default, disregarding the recommendation.

It sounds like they deemed more cost-effective to rewrite the protocol than learning how to use `grpc.Dial`
well if you're referring to 3D LUTs as the objective of the excercise, it's probably helpful to start with a LUT volume capable of doing realistic color transformations. 33 by 33 by 33 matrices are the standard used for broadcast color and it's only recently LUTS have been used for "color timing" features because the effectiveness and effective precision of a 3D LUT is extremely depending on your work flow and working color space and the details of your gamma and so on. OpenEXR is a floating point format for many reasons including handling of color.

my point about the work flow involved is particularly relevant in consideration of emulating celluloid film stock because the bandwidth of film is concentrated in the high values of the channels. Silicon sensors struggle with highlights fundamentally even before the encoding. Photons hitting a piece of film are scattered throughout multiple layers (Fujifilm famously sold 4 layer negative film in retail volumes with enough success to turn Kodak, who held virtually every important patent for digital cameras, into a schizophrenic jelly mess.) and in comparison with the reflectivity of a silicon sensor, even allowing a layer of sophisticated precision lenses on top, channeling the light, film is incredibly accommodating to absorb excess light without the loss of detail. Sensors not only put lenses up front to corral the light rays but of course the next obstacles are the color matrix layers and IR/UV cut filters, and you can sometimes see online amateur photography forums panicking at the sight of a overloaded sensor flaring to show geometric patterns of diffraction caused by the sensor silicon itself. The route available for a photon meeting with a camera sensor is a utterly constrained path compared with the photon partying through the celluloid structure enjoyed by trendier EM radiation; this is why the BSI back side illumination tech reflecting photons back into the sensor wells has been so effective. The sad case Brit in me took some time to get used to Back Side Illuminated Sensors, meaning of course the sun shines out of the Sony high megapixel fanny...
Clearly Boni wanted him gone in order to take his spot, so under the cover of trust, discretion and friendship he enticed him to share about his microdosing adventures including how he had taken it before meetings.

You make a good point about an idealized credentialing mechanism cutting off the left tail of the distribution, but the spread in performance will still be much higher in credential-holding SWE than nursing and, because of the high leverage, still worth selecting for.

You can only be so much better at nursing than the average qualified nurse. How many more patients will the best nurse save? You can be several multiples (whether it’s 10 or not, I won’t get into here, but I think it’s at least 3) more effective than the average in SWE.
Government is not one thing though. There's the rule making branch of government and then there's the executive branch of government, the various agencies and government owned companies that often make people just as helpless as these tech behemoths, in some cases even more so.

It's simply very hard to go up against monopolies, regardless of whether they are private or public. It all depends on your ability to pay for good lawyers and survive the time until you get justice (both physically and financially).

What we need here is government in its role as a rule maker. This is a function that only government can play. It's not a question of being better or worse than private enterprise. It's a categorically different role.
