Thanks for this.

Good advice at the end plus a link to an unrelated but equally interesting hardware debug/reverse engineer:

Lessons for aspiring reverse engineers

Spend a few hours/days reading before you start doing.

Prior knowledge helps. You'll get better at reverse engineering as you do it more.

Code shape is recognizable. SPI drivers all look the same, I2C drivers all look similar, circular buffers all look the same. Code shape is a great hint about code function.

Assume people who wrote the code and designed the chip are sane (until proven otherwise).

Newton's first law of software and hardware design: without a significant outside force, things will keep being designed as they always have been. Assume most designs are similar, and what you saw before is likely what you'll see again

Defaults are not changed most of the time.

Every bit of knowledge helps eliminate possibilities in other places. When something confuses you, leave it alone and go analyze something else. Come back to this one later when you know more.

Weird-looking constants mean things. The weirder the number, the more meaning it probably carries

Have a theory before you rush to try things. An experiment with no theory is meaningless.

Do try things. A theory with no experiment is pointless.

Take notes as you try/figure out things, since your "trying things" binary will quickly become an unmanageable mess and you'll forget things.

Possibly, but I did my search from the airport closest to me and not LA. That's likely the dominant factor.
The marginal cost to the patient for having that treatment was zero.

Meanwhile in the US the federal government spends 8% of GDP in tax payer funds on health care, for things like Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, etc. That's the same as the UK pays for health care, counting public and private expenditure combined. You are already paying the cost of an entire first world health care system in your federal taxes, and as an employee you and your company also still have to pay for your own private health care to actually get any treatment for yourself.
If it’s so important for the whole planet, why is no one paying Brazilians to keep the rainforests intact?
I see what you mean. And I still find "capitalize on pain" too broad a framing for what the app. Characterizing it that way does not inform and draws parallels to other, less ethical players that "capitalize on pain". Such as Purdue Pharma for example.

So from your 2017 source ( that is what we have easily available ) :

France 'contributed' ~ € 7.5 Billon netto to the EU.

Which is something totally different than € 26 Billion. And it still isn't your money.
>So they can focus in continue saving millions of lives since December

Not sure. Are the researchers working on the vaccine are the one handling the claims? I mean, whats this thing about "focusing on saving lives" got to do with being not responsible for the product?

>It seems a fair deal for society

Only if these companies act in good faith. Knowing what we know about Pharmaceutical companies, It is beyond me why anyone would think they would..

If you said that "we were desperate so we have to take the risk of them possibly behaving bad", then it would have made much more sense.
So it’s true?!!

Maybe the ultra-greens are against urbanization and I think there is merit to that. But the other topics don't really fit.

You can put every living human on Sicily and still have space. The problem is that 99% would have died of thirst after a few days.

I think today is earth overshoot day, so we used resources the earth could recoup within a year. That problem isn't solved with everyone moving into cities, it is externalities and our resource consumption. Maybe cities are a few percent more efficient, but it doesn't really matter that much. Cities are also relatively unhealthy in most cases. Living expectation are countered by the proximity of medical professionals perhaps.

edit: It is indeed today:

Provably Efficient Learning Algorithms for Neural Networks
If I told you that you were wrong, and I could show you why, would you want to listen? Because it seems like you’re doubling down on a strong opinion you have, and looking for information that could support it.
This is a systematic issue though, not an intent problem. Why do the middle class end up paying for it while the rich which own 40% of the assets don't? Due to lobbying and constantly electing politicians that are the same over and over again. The top 10% in the US own 70% of the assets. Just make the rich pay their taxes and the situation is resolved but we just keep gouging the middle class. Middle class should establish a fund to pay for lobbyists.
Why don't they just filter out the useless Y's, but keep the good ones?

I've historically spent all my days SSH'd into a remote server in a screen/tmux session writing code in vim and doing various admin/db tasks.

Recently I started using vscode with the remote-ssh plugin and it has surprisingly been a pleasant experience. I have an integrated terminal to the remote box and I have full intellisense for coding (I do 80% coding / 20% admin, probably).

It took a gestalt flip for me to realize that with this plugin installed, vscode is basically a very (very) fancy terminal emulator.

Only problems I've encountered so far are if you paste large strings or quickly scroll through your bash history, sometimes characters will drop from the strings. Also, sometimes you have to reload the window because intellisense stops working because it seems like the language server installed on the remote box stops working.
Amusingly, I signed up for this a couple days ago (https://mtm.masterthemainframe.com/), which worked fine at the time, but the following day when I went to follow up I discovered the HTTPS cert had expired :D

That was several hours ago. The site's still down.
I don't think its overstated. The web is broken and search especially so. Now days I look for curated list to find interesting webpages and topics.

Google ruined itself years ago, or maybe "we" ruined it.
I'm not unfamiliar with the problem space and why I want to do X, I'm just looking on implementation details. If the question was "How should I solve that problem? Should I use X?", then sure "use Y instead because it's a better practice" would be a valid answer.
Humans are pretty good at nuking (literally or figuratively) entire ecosystems. See the Fertile Crescent, for example.

However, the damage we've done over the last ten thousand years may be reversible. There's at least one team working on a way to turn deserts into self-sustaining forests or even rainforests, and it's very promising.

The trick is going to be figuring that out before we make ourselves extinct.
So effective that we're going back to mask mandates, talking feverishly about boosters, etc. And this is for already vaccinated individuals.

I'm not 100% sure what meds my uncle takes, we all -- his wife and kids included -- just kinda put up with him and know how to deal.

To be clear, I encourage anyone with any condition whatsoever, including 'normal' ones, to seek help if they are making you suffer.

Here again comes to another problem with psychiatry. Suppose person A has COVID and is experiencing runny noses, pneumonia, cough, etc (whatever the symptoms are). As a society, we've decided that -- independent of person A's view of their own condition -- person A deserves medical treatment (hence all the talk about the unvaccinnated -- likely people who don't particularly mind being infected by covid -- being forced to live their life a certain way by others who are more afraid).

Can we apply this same logic to similarly debilitating disease like schizo? No... because actually none of the schizophrenia symptoms are necessarily bad. Unlike COVID, where everyone feels absolutely comfortable judging the absolute 'badness' of the symptoms without any regard to the sufferer's view, with schizo and other mental health conditions, the sufferer is required to be stressed in order to fix it. If the sufferer doesn't really mind the voices, then no one is going to step in and say anything.

Given how stark a difference it is between physical disease, where we can all observe a symptom and say whether you have it, regarless of your thoughts, with many psychiatric illnesses schizophrenia, it is impossible to do so, calling into question whether these deserve to be called illnesses.

It's an example, but it's hardly unique to pain treatment. Any specialist is going to bill out at a couple hundred bucks for a quick visit, and might be scheduling 3-6 months out; that's entirely your financial responsibility if you haven't met your deductible.

Anything that requires ongoing treatments or regular doctors' visits is going to be largely inaccessible to a low-income person on a high-deductible plan.
Yep; I can’t believe what used to be bar-none the most useful set of search results will now seemingly scatter results into the list that have zero matches for my search term, as well as some with boldfaced words that I did not even type.

And also, for some reason the “zero-click results” stuff really bothers me. I don’t want some crappy AI summary of a Wikipedia page, I want the Wikipedia link first, for example. I can only assume this is a form of traffic theft because I seriously doubt Google has agreements with all the sites they slurp useful information from.

Yeah, I think the key aspect of the story isn't that they somehow convinced the patent office, but more likely that the patent office in South Africa was the first one they tried that didn't bother to check if the people listed as inventors actually exist.

(Given that we don't have their side of the story and they are only listed as not having rejected it)

I'm more familiar with the Spanish, Irish and UK systems. I tried to find a nice document giving numbers for what I was describing, but most of what I can find is anecdotal, and the official reports are weren't quantitative.

> It's not really a "wrong" interpretation of calculus, but it has limitations. Eventually the geometric intuition breaks down.

As long as you realise it's an analogy, it's not the actual thing, I don't see the problem. So for example gradient descent in neural networks is partial differentiation along 100s or 1000s of dimensions, and I wouldn't try to visualise that directly; I might use an analogy of a marble rolling down a 3-dimensional landscape to find a local minimum, but that's clearly an analogy.
I went out drinking once in DC with some people who worked at the NSA in 2005 or so and they said they were hiring for people to analyze "all the traffic on the internet".

When the Snowden leaks came out it was not a surprise. Granted most people don't go out drinking with the people doing the spying, but even people who work at the NSA can't keep a secret, if it was even meant to be a secret.
Canonical urls help with noting your own purposeful duplicated content. But that meta tag goes on the duplicated content. So it doesn't help with scrapers, who strip that out.
Maybe. Maybe not.

But no one has to be happy with you for being willing to do the dirty work.
Hm, this is not really news, but perhaps it's the first time I consciously think about it.

The article is right. I used to search Google for what the best X is. At some point. Indeed, I also used to search amazon and read the reviews.

Now, and for what feels like a while, I am not doing that anymore. Like, at all. And this is not a decision I consciously made.

If I want to know what the best dishwasher is, I am not going to amazon. I am not putting it into Google, simply because it's all affiliate links all the way down.
I either read professional reviews (like non-profit and established test companies, like Warentest here in Germany) or I ask the community somewhere.

Google and Amazon have conditioned me to subconsciously not use them anymore for that purpose.

Very interesting.
Still, it's a drop in the bucket. Half of the US is convinced that they can do no harm as long as they are "free" or whatever, while simultaneously taking pride in preparing for the end of times (conflict of interest much?).

All of China doesn't have a choice but to contribute to the destruction.

“Nobody pays the made of number from the first bill not even the uninsured.”

This is maybe true but the actual number you pay is a total gamble depending on whatever the hospital feels like they can discount this month, whatever loopholes the insurance has found for not paying, whatever hoops the insurance or hospital have set up and you have jumped through correctly or not and how much time you have for the next few months or years to fight the bill.

It’s a totally insane and arbitrary system. Probably the pinnacle of a large and unaccountable bureaucracy. Sometimes I wonder if dealing with the mob is a more straightforward and reliable thing vs going to a hospital.
It's a fair point that humans don't magically make this go away, but the thrust of the argument above is that robots are likely worse, because they lack any capacity at all for questioning or for remorse, and they also allow great physical detachment from the horrors they can cause. They don't stop to eat or sleep either, and they'll certainly do things that can cause their own destruction.

Humans also may be even likelier to be loyal than moral if a drone with a gun follows them around to keep them on-side.
For a lot of things I have to send photos of passports around, in wechat, whatsapp, line and whatever other BS other people request. The other day I was requested to give a new copy of my updated passport to a local telco with abysmal security, just to be able to return a SIM card to get my security deposit back. WHY?

It's infuriating. Governments still use a 100 year old system of stamping each others documents in overseas missions to confirm the authenticity of a document that is based in an era where there was neither telephone nor internet. The whole world runs on a bad joke.

The thing that's different about the three baltics is that their crypto is open source and has had many iterations. They even sued Gemalto for an insecure revision IIRC. All of the signing code is open source on top of that.

The way Germany works is that they design something in a committee for 20 years in private, then they push it out to public. Then the CCC finds security issues in there, then the government ignores it and changes the law to force you to use it anyway. One thing I will give the Germans is that in legal interaction with their official institutions they will allow you to blacken out PII from the identity card. But no private institution does that so it's kinda pointless.
Assuming you're not a short-sighted person, how would a poor country like Brazil protect, without make any money out of it, an area bigger than Europe?

It's interesting how rich countries made their money by exploiting our (and other poor countries) natural resources, but now they realized it's bad.

The solutions proposed by Macron and Biden is ridiculous, outrageous. But it's not surprising, considering Europe/US instinct of colonizers/exploiters.
Mostly, my mistake was I had the phone too far away - notice in the video that when I get it close, it sounds just fine.

In my experience with patents, you don't really need something novel as much as you need unique words in your patent, its all about wordsmithing.
As someone who has built production applications in about half a dozen server side languages, Ruby and Rails have both proven highly enjoyable. This blog post is a good reminder of why. They were both built for developer happiness and productivity.

It's a shame more people aren't using these tools these days. Especially when salaries seem to be climbing for positions that work with them.
I'm a recently naturalized German citizen, could you say more about how I can use my Perso this way. It seems nobody uses the "smart" features.

So far, it seems like a "mini passport" and an enormous risk to carry around literally everything someone needs to know to rob and/or impersonate me, but yet we're legally required to do so.
I do think it is slowly deteriorating though. I've noticed it on indie gaming subreddits. A dev will announce a new game and I suspect a lot of the comments are fake. Maybe not bots just yet, probably more likely the dev gathered a large group of friends to help out. But it wouldn't surprise me if this type of promotion became more and more bot driven as time goes on.

Isn't the phenomenon you're describing (and I agree it's a real trend) more due to SEO efforts than to any defects in the search engine itself?

It seems like there are millions of how-to informational articles now that are inherently designed to be clickbait. It's not that they don't have useful information, but they make you dig through a lot more verbiage than is necessary, because apparently some search engines think longer = more informative.
