I wrote a convoluted tool for this problem which isolates kubectl environments in docker containers: https://github.com/forestgagnon/kparanoid.

This approach allows the convenience of short, context-free commands without compromising safety, because the context info in the shell prompt can be relied on, due to the isolation.

There are some things which don't work well inside a docker container (port-forwarding for example), but it does make it simple to have isolated shell history, specific kubectl versions, etc.
A firmware for the wifi/bluetooth can convince the embedded controller to pass the keys that are pressed on the keyboard and pass this data using wifi, is that?

If that is the case, my list of reasons to like open-source firmwares and dislike intel IME has just increased a bit more.

They hide the tweet counts for a reason.

It's hard to respect the "Verified" users if you knew they all have tweet counts that when divided by hours since they joined the platform it comes out at over 1 tweet an hour every hour for 9+ years.

You can check this yourself using the wayback machine to see all their counts from before it was hidden. Pretty much every popular personality on Twitter is hopelessly addicted to it and you realize how little value their views have when they must be staring at it for hours and hours a day.
Please copy my code. Reality is I'll be gone in 100 years tops and I'd be more than glad if my crappy code actually helps someone.

As for attribution, we all learn by looking at code from all kinds of licenses. Between Stack Overflow, projects hosted in GitHub, libraries that sit on our vendor directories and even closed source projects there's a lot that is carried over to new projects without attribution.

We're heading to a world were most projects are basically libraries glued together anyway. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.

The dream of an omniscient pair programming buddy is slowly coming to fruition and I for one welcome.

Copilot is just a tool, fancy search engine for the code that's available online. Projects should be judged by the way they use Copilot just like I'm judged if I misuse my car.

I couldn't care less whether my name is shoved in some ever increasing CONTRIBUTOR.md file that no one but machines will read.

I'm actually going to start documenting blocks of code more thoroughly so Copilot can better infer what each block does.

TLDR; GitHub will eventually add some kind of "data usage reporting" utility that could show which parts of final your code made with help of this CuckPilot could potentially infringe copyright with links to other known sources of these parts of code. Then they will tell you that it is your responsibility to ensure that your final code does not have copyright issues.
Network effects are breaking down. Reeds Law and Metcalfe law are already showing signs they don't hold for various reasons such as the Dunbar number, error rates in the 6 inch chimp brain we have increasing from info overload etc.

Therefore I'd say the era of non linear scaling taking advantage of network effects has already peaked. Disney has said they have the resources to pump out star wars movies every week but the chimp troupe doesn't have the finanical and cognitive capacities to handle it.

Microsoft popularised telemetry in otherwise-offline applications with Windows 10. Now every other trendchasing company thinks they should do it too.

Patrick Winston (1943-2019) was a computer scientist at MIT. Every year he gave a popular talk titled How to Speak. In the talk he explains effective techniques to hold your audience's attention. Here is a recording of the talk from 2018:

How To Speak by Patrick Winston:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unzc731iCUY

He also published a book of his insights in 2020 titled Make It Clear: Speak and Write to Persuade and Inform. Many of the examples in the book have an emphasis on speaking in an academic or teaching setting. However, there are good insights that anyone can learn from.
My primary goal now is to be able to spend as much time with my loved ones as possible, because that is time that has no price. And when I say "time", I don't just mean passively sitting there with them; I mean actually 100% mentally engaged and enjoying their company and presence.

I used to think in my early 20s that if I worked really hard and lived that SV grind lifestyle, that I would magically make a lot of money and life would be easy.

In fact, what ended up happening was reality - I lost a loved one midway through my 20s, and it altered my perception of just what is actually important vs. what is noise.

Now I just want to make sure I spend just enough time to keep doing well at work, and use everything else in the tank for the really important things.

Not everything on Github was uploaded by the copyright holders. Often enough, it's uploaded by people who only have access to it under an open source license, so Github cannot in general squeeze additional license terms out of the uploader at that point.
I didn't need to before Covid, but our government decided that it was okay to change rules (drastically), on a day-to-day basis, then when they got called out for changing them with less than 24 hour warning, decided that 48 hours was fine. If you didn't follow the news, you could get caught up and have to pay a not insubstantial fine, or more realistically you were planning to do something that was deemed safe enough some days earlier.

An older example: if you didn't pay attention to the news on 9/11 you risked being stuck in the airport for a very long time.

So yeah, there are situations where you do need to follow the news. Not often, but two global events have happened in my lifetime (3 if you count the fall of the Berlin wall) where you really did need to pay attention to the news.

Maybe some sort of exponential back-of is warrented? Say you check the news and if nothing relevant happend you check in again the next day, then you skip a day, then two, etc. When an event happens where you need to follow the news (say a local flood), you go back to an hourly checkup.

The final thing I have noticed is that the news you need to follow are mostly very local. What happens in other countries is, relatively speaking, of no importance to you.
Such a claim was never accurate. The regions with good soil are already used. Northern Ontario isn't farmed because of climate, but because it's either muskeg or the Clay Belt. While the latter is good soil, all previous attempts to lure settlers failed because both muskeg and the Clay Belt are completely infested with black flies and mosquitos.

(Muskeg also covers Siberia.)
Google has been working on the self-driving car for 12 years.

“San Francisco was one of the first cities where we tested our self-driving cars, dating back to 2009 when we traveled everything from Lombard Street to the Golden Gate Bridge. Now that we have the world’s first fleet of fully self-driving cars running in Arizona, the hilly and foggy streets of San Francisco will give our cars even more practice in different terrains and environments.”

I have had a simple rule to unfollow anyone who posts off topic, and honestly it works pretty well. A lot of people have accounts just for talking about whatever topic they are interested in.

It does mean occasionally unfollowing someone who has otherwise great content, but often it’s retweeted by someone else I do follow, and anyway - it’s worth the cost.
I went from wanting to work for more prestigious companies (e.g., FAANG) and getting more prestigious roles (e.g., Director of Data Science) to not caring about any of it. Trading fame and fortune for family and friends.

Some of the change came from finally paying off debts and having well-funded retirement and savings accounts. I can finally afford to not try to make more money, so suddenly the super stressful job with the mind boggling salary just isn't worth the stress. I recognize there's certainly privilege there, and I would hope that someday we're all so lucky as to have solid safety nets.

The rest of the change came from having a broader view of the impacts (and non-impacts) my work has. I don't like being part of the wealth inequality gap in the US. I don't like working for tech companies that use their mission statement to devalue and underpay their workers. I don't like contributing to technologies that are being used in backroom deals to support burgeoning humanitarian crises (whether that's creating racially biased algorithms, selling personal data, or literally building bombs). So much of Silicon Valley is well-intentioned but myopic engineers building tools that greedy business people sell to the highest bidder without regard to their final use case. And speaking up, regardless of the HR propaganda, doesn't work-- they will quickly show you the door and corner you into silence with lawyers and hush money (which, on the flip side, is one way to fully fund retirement and savings accounts).

So I'm in my mid-30s, still young by non-silicon valley standards, working through a bit of an identity crisis to figure out what goals really are worthwhile. But my 20s taught me that selling my soul to someone else's company isn't my goal. And building my own company with VC money isn't my goal. So I'm left with tending my personal relationships, refocusing my career outside of startups (back to nonprofits and academia), spending more time outdoors, and pursuing whatever tangential curiosity piques my interest this week.
Also it probably depends whether you have actually used some aws services. I have searched quite a lot of aws services before, and not finding the product page straight away is a pretty good hint.

Just make companies liable for any damage caused by their crappy products. Make them pay billions in damages every time somebody gets hacked because of their negligence. Then they'll start caring about the quality of their software instead of treating it as a cost center.
> People can find meanings in all sorts of things and in all sorts of ways.

I've been grappling with this recently. Specifically the question of "What amounts to fantasy and superstition and what reflects reality?" Pyschedelics is a rabbit-trail followed from here, as well as the idea that "nothing is actually real, this is just a simulation". And following those is the idea "reality is what you make it" and "you are God". But those conclusions run up against things that we cannot change like death and taxes (the taxes part is a joke, but only kind of). We're left with a dissonance of "all is illusion" vs "there exist things that we cannot change and things that are consistent outside of ourselves".

If we were in a dream-state and there was not actual object permanence then I'd agree with the conclusions of the religious pyschedelics crowd, as well as the all-is-illusion crowd. (Except there's some math from quantum physics that shows things don't exist unless you look at them...[0] or something like that. Conversations like this make me wish I took more comprehensive notes.) So I guess it is all an illusion until we touch it. :D That reminds me of the early graphical rendering method "culling" where if something isn't in the rendered field-of-view (FOV) then it doesn't get passed through the graphical pipeline.

How this informs the quest to extract meaning from the universe, I don't know.

This is a bit of a rabbit trail by itself. I do wonder at the fabric of existence from time-to-time, but I don't wonder at the purpose of it all -- religious convictions being what they are to me.

It doesn't matter how agressive your filtering is, it doesn't matter how many accounts you mute, it doesn't matter how many words you block.

It'll still seep through the cracks because that's what Twitter wants.

I got to the point of 1000+ accounts and 1000+ words muted and it's still a bad place. To Twitter it is more valuable to them that I have to hear about the issues Twitter considers important than for me to have a healthy Twitter feed.

A global "Politics on/off" switch is 100% possible and they choose not to do it because they consider it more important for the world that I hear the correct politics than be able to just hear none.
This is very true. It’s important to screen for physical causes first.

For example, thyroid issues can cause the same symptoms as bipolar. I was screened for that at the start of my treatment.

Yes, indeed. Consider also the fact that the Anglo-Saxons were culturally and ethnically similar to the Vikings (whom the Anglo-Saxons collectively referred to as "Danes" despite also coming from Norway and Sweden). The Danelaw[1] had resulted in significant intermixing of Anglo-Saxons and Danes, and by 1066 England had had two Danish kings.

It's completely unsurprising that Anglo-Saxons integrated well into the Varangian Guard.

Having noodled on these comments for a few, I share your view, but I'm curious if the type of testing varies based on seniority/carefulness. I find people earlier in their careers (or people with less care) write code where the failures at boundary conditions are obvious to me, but not to them. I can see unit tests (or quick check) paying big dividends with that group while being lower ROI for more experienced / more careful teams.

I don't get it. If there's a blanket of total secrecy, then why does the company who makes the secret fuel have its stock price boosted so much? Obviously the information already leaked - to the people buying the stock! - before the increase of the stock price caused further attention.
Something which is a “derivative work” is still copyrighted. In fact, by definition, a “derivative work” is copyrightable. It’s the minimum threshold at which something, based on something else, gets its own, new copyright.

The algorithm is not copyrighted, but the source code of the function is copyrighted. You could learn how the algorithm works by reading the function, and then write your own function that implements the same algorithm. Algorithms are not copyrightable, they are not subject to copyright. Source code is copyrightable.

Copilot is not reproducing just the algorithm, it is spitting out large chunks of the copyrighted source code, verbatim.

RSA Conference goes full blockchain, for a moment – Amy Castor
Have you seen a hydrogen pump in real life? While yes, it can be faster than a 20 minute fast charge, it is a significantly more complex process than gasoline - it doesn’t just pour out the end of a hose as a stable liquid.

I actually think a lot of people will prefer a 10-20 min fast charge on a BEV (I certainly do). Due to the volatile nature of hydrogen I can’t imagine many places will let you run to the toilet or get a coffee while pumping either; these are all just fine to do with fast charging.

For me the choice between BEV and the alternates is more about availability of home charging - if you can wake up each day with reliably ~250 miles of range already in the car, you virtually never need to fill up/charge on the road anyway!
I do not care. RSS and Atom both win over closed platforms. If I could get back to an RSS-oriented internet, I would rejoice even if Atom didn’t exist.
At this point I am just really interested in the psychology and goal-orientation of the Muse Group team. There seems to be a fundamental disconnect with significant portions of the community they inherited. This disconnect includes things like ethical concerns and public-facing messaging...to some really strange extents.

For example Martin was very upfront[0] about including the community in decision-making, to include the original Audacity team, which he apparently interviewed about their past and intentions for Audacity...but then these strange gaffes keep occurring with the software's written policies and back-end functionality. So I wonder what the perspective and messaging looks like on the inside of this project.

I guess I wonder if--and maybe this is way out there--but I wonder if Muse Group is designing for acquisition. Their website is more like a portfolio in a lot of ways [1]. They could be pitched as a FOSS-to-commercial services bridge, for example. This would also explain the strange moves around metrics-gathering and user data; a customer looking to acquire something from Muse Group would almost certainly be asking about these things.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting the difference is, or what specifically here is a "mobile cartel?"

I'm sure students in the valley have been routinely exposed to VLSI chip-making, and actually making ICs, since at least the early 90s. I know I was.

The main problem is there are only so many universities with so many sections therefore quite a lot of students don't get exposure, even within a given EE department. And even if they could offer it to all students, many wouldn't enroll, as you're basically doing this class constantly for like a year, for not that many credits relative to the time spent, as it sucks down just tons of hours as one gets familiar with all the nitpicky details that one needs to know. And as one learns to deal with the joy that is CAD tooling.

However, in my opinion, the experience in invaluable. And students that can pass that course, with a successful chip in hand, are hand picked by employers. We sure do.

EE272 at Stanford actually started to post their flow. Another benefit of the open source PDKs.
