> These routers all have secured passwords that are non-default.

Secure passwords is just a tiny subset of non-default passwords. Chances of an average human being being able to come up with a password with enough entropy to be called as secure is pretty low.

> These routers were deliberately placed on the internet by people that knew enough about them to do so.

This means these people knows how to expose the management interface to the internet. It does not mean these people have enough knowledge on securing their devices -- based on their actions, it is more likely that the opposite is true.
Surely it implies an ability to count incrementally, which is all OP was implying? The dog does not have to abstract the concept of '3' to be able to count- it's still very interesting.
You can definitely bike if that's your thing, I mean it's 35C right now, but there are a lot of times when it's 40-45C. Or occasionally 50C.

This could theoretically be good for someone who works from home primarily, but you really do need access to a car to get around Phoenix in general. Some day you're going to want to visit, say, the Renaissance Faire and biking from Tempe to Apache Junction is unlikely to be an attractive option for most people. And I pity any Uber drivers that get contracted to help get someone through the traffic jam for that.

There are a decent amount of bike lanes and whatnot, but the city was optimized for cars, which is why all the self-driving tests are there and you can see a Waymo every other day or so, including that new smaller car.

The light rail is great if you want to go to downtown Phoenix or the ball park and maybe for ASU, but a bit less attractive for many other destinations. Meikong Plaza and H-Mart on Dobson aren't very far from the light rail, but walking ~1 mile in 45C weather with groceries only works for the younger and healthier folks. Asiana or Fujiya are probably non-starters for someone using the light rail, being 2-3 miles away. Don't get me wrong, you can take your bike onto the light rail (or bus) and get there, but it's a significant effort and if it's one of those few days that hits 50C, most people's willpower will give out.

I'm surprised they don't compromise a bit and have a handful of community cars that are shared by some agreement. Then again, I suppose that Uber/Waymo can take over there. It honestly looks pretty cool, but we tend to use the cars a lot and outdoor stuff is only attractive between October and May or so.

Your post assumes that there's no manipulation of the market occurring, an assumption we know to be false.
I started using TikTok for a couple of weeks now and started to find it fascinating, the communities that are built around the bubbles the algorithm creates are quite interesting and have discussion between themselves. It's easy to reach out to actual subject mater experts for non-technical stuff, people you wouldn't typically see on HN or Reddit.

Now does it bring __value__ to my life? No

Will I keep participating and creating content just to engage in these niche communities? Yes
Revenue increased probably because of the hack, because that seems to be how it works in this twisted world.

> What sort of manipulative amplification/suppression, specifically?

I don't know if this counts but I was surprised to run into this pro-DPRK account while scrolling recently: https://www.tiktok.com/@dprkorea_?lang=en

It purports to show North Korea through the lens of a hidden camera. Plenty of shots of couples holding hands and playing badminton without nets.

I get the sense that this is propaganda and not genuinely capturing the everyday lives of North Koreans. That said, I can't prove that this is the case.
"the bitter lesson" is a very interesting, thank you! However, I wonder if AST vs. text analysis is fully comparable to the examples given in the post. Applying human concepts for chess, go, image processing, etc. failed over statistical methods, but I don't think AST vs. text is exactly the same argument. IMO, using an AST is simply a more accurate representation of a program and doesn't necessarily imply an attempt to bring in human intuition/concepts.
I love elementary OS and would use it on all my computers if I didn't love NixOS even more (and sometimes I use NixOS with Pantheon, elementary's window manager).

> all AppCenter apps are now packaged and distributed as Flatpaks, a modern container format that keeps apps siloed away from each other—and your sensitive data

All apps are siloed from your sensitive data? That is a little um simplified or misleading or something. They may have done a great job with security now that they have Portals, but it is surely a much more complicated story than the above quote suggests.
Anecdotally, I browse r/TikTokCringe (which, despite the name, is not exclusively cringe TikToks) and it sometimes feels like that number is much closer 50% or higher.

It's nice to see the data supports my observation.

Depends on where, I guess. In busy places in Manhattan you'll likely wait under a minute for a taxi (and more for an Uber). In San Francisco you're likely to wait 20-40 minutes for a taxi (that may never come), versus 5-10 minutes for an Uber.

I think the Bitcoin community give the rest of the space a bad name. There are too many people with fringe libertarian views in that space that dominate the narrative. Ethereum, I've found is a much more interesting space. It's valuable because you can actually use the blockchain for things more complicated than just sending coins around. As stupid as many of the NFTs are right now, they have the potential to completely change how the art, music and gaming industries are monetized. Defi has a huge potential to make banking more efficient and provide banking services to underserved areas as long as they have an internet connection.

Translators may do so when they're acting as interpreters. I don't know for certain, but I doubt that most translators who are translating written documents do so.
> Instead they just think it's "that typescript" thing and itgnore it. Iff deno dies it's probably because of that typescript shadow, not despite of it.

I don't know what planet you're living on but this is completely backwards from everything I've seen people say online.

> You act as if the typescript compiler and source-maps suddenly stopped working once they're out of the core.

I know that I personally don't bother using TS for Node projects until they reach a certain size. I'd love to use it for every tiny script, but the overhead of setting up a tsconfig, figuring out where the build files will go, adding them to the gitignore if there is one, combining the build step and the run step into a little script for development, etc, just tips the equation. On top of that, I can't really ship TS on NPM because that assumes everyone downstream will be willing to do the same config + build process.

Deno solves all of this by making TS a first-class citizen. That's huge.

No need to try to be silly to avoid reality.

Just read all the Snowden revelations. Those very same agencies, whose mission statement is to spy on everyone, are still working their jobs of spying on everyone. It's not like they were disbanded just because Snowden revealed a tiny slice of what they were doing then.
Love the approach of keeping the planning very close to the execution. It's very similar to what we did at Open Listings (though the labeling system was maybe a little more complex and applied to both PRs and Issues).

It seems like passive consumption, be it of books or tiktok, is unlikely to improve someone very much. You may learn some new facts but I doubt you’ll be able to revise any of your deep assumptions about the world.

That being said, it’s much more natural to actively read than to actively watch TikTok. Thus, in practice, reading is often a better activity than watching TikTok. The first chapter or Robert Adler’s “How to Read a Book” talks about active reading in more detail; he has a few more arguments too.

Side note: unless you are a relativist and think everyone’s view about art is equally correct no matter what, the person who studies art is probably “more correct” than the Instagramer; a lot of art requires cultural context (e.g, familiarity with the Bible and Ovid) to understand. If you are a relativist, then why does nearly everyone agree some art belongs in a museum and a lot of art is garbage that nobody cares about?

No--we have nowhere near a billion years. It's roughly a billion until all life is wiped from the planet, but it will be uninhabitable for humans *long* before that point.

We have only 50 million years before Earth's ability to adapt to solar warming pegs and the temperature starts crawling up--and note that even that will not be good for an awful lot of plant life because of low CO2 levels. Earth needs to start it's retreat before then.
I hope this doesn't mean the end of Parsec as a standalone service. There's nothing out there that comes close to Parsec's performance and it'd be a huge loss.
Look at the author of the piece: "Aya is an aspiring journalist who is into everything related to culture. A curious explorer and traveler, she graduated from the faculty of Arts with one mission in mind: experience everything. She is interested in filmmaking and scriptwriting and hopes to one day write her own feature film."

can you expect "journalism" from someone who is not a journalist?
That's just from the most recent checkpoint :-)

If you were to build it "from scratch" you'd also need to include the millions of years of (distributed) evolution required to get that particular kid to that point.

Google does not have the capability to scan local files on your device. They still have the luxury of answering "we can't" to such demands.

But Google steps on your privacy in so many other ways, it's probably not worth defending this one technicality.

> But why ask for consent right away when someone just visits your website for the first time? Imagine that you walk into a shop and the owner starts harassing you right away

You do implicitly give consent to "be tracked" when you walk into a shop. A savvy shop-keeper will look at the clothes (brand, style, etc.), hair, facial features, etc. and internally compare you to other's who have made purchases and either approach you or not.

The closest thing we have to that is our (pretty terrible, in the privacy kind of way) ad networks to tell us what kind of people visit our online shop. Without that information, it's hard to (nay, impossible) to guess what demographics come to our store and position the store to cater to the demographic that actually makes a purchase vs. those that don't. If I see a whole bunch of boomers coming to the site, but they don't convert, I can figure out why they're not making a purchase and do something about it, just like I could in a brick-and-mortar store.

I really don't like the amount of personal data gathered or the dark patterns surrounding them. But there's got to be a way to surface some kind of aggregate information without sacrificing privacy.
Wow, I read that and thought I hope he's not working in finance!

He could easily handle the promotion aspect by framing it this way:

"As a promotion, I now don't have to drive 2 hours a day, and I still get the same pay!" That's a nice promotion, two prime hours of waking life 5 times a week. Not to mention the stress and gas/maintenance.

Any time you can exchange money for time, do it.
Is there honestly a market for it? I bet it's too expensive to run it without ads, and I don't think people would pay for social media.

The runner is a pain in the butt to setup locally. Switch to gitlab or don't rely on community actions, run everything in single bash script.
> There are important differences between being influenced by domestic actors, as part of a domestic political process, and being influenced by foreign actors

Just because the actors are domestic doesn't make it at all better. Domestic actors don't have public welfare in mind, they have their own welfare in mind.

This influence happens behind close doors, and I, as a constituent, don't get to have any input on it.

For a great example, I didn't get to vote on whether or not Fox news should peddle absolute nonsense 24/7 that radicalizes their base. Its owners made that decision, without my input.

If you want 'domestic' influence and oversight over your mass media, social networks, etc, use the political process to set some ground rules, and make everyone operating these businesses in your country follow them. Blaming or targeting the foreign boogieman is a distraction, when we've got plenty of domestic monsters living in our closet.
Ya, I don't know about their approximation, but I think we've already found ourselves hitting some limits with computing power and data on big NLP ML models. The appearance of custom chips is a pretty good example.

Maybe for text we won't run out of data, considering the internet has so much text available.

But I still think that the "human learning" is something to consider. Maybe a baby is a statistical machine, and it has a statistical based model that's so good it needs very little data, but it's also possible it uses something more logic based. In any case, I feel at least a baby would combine multiple learnings together, it would have started to learn about the dimensions and shapes and temperatures and properties of various physical objects, while simultaneously learning about the language used to refer to those things.

I think this last piece can allow a baby to connect the predictions of real things with the language used, which then helps provide semantics for the language that are taken into consideration by a human.
>They are going to realise soon how much of an addictive nightmare this app is and it just takes a slip up or a scandal from ByteDance to anger the majority users on the platform.

Have you seen this previously anywhere? Sounds like a pipe dream to me. Did, for example, Facebook's scandals kill Facebook? The spywares that Lenovo bundled even make a dent in Lenovo's brand? Reddit's constant push of dark pattern shrink their userbase?
Don't know how many. But I have a few times where we used external APIs that could conceivably set a cookie.
I am quite sure there are enough preload/prefetch links in the Google results pages to make this irrelevant (and crash the poor routers' owners' downstream links).

This is a great looking release and I really don’t think enough attention is being drawn to just how lovely the elementaryOS desktop looks and feels on a hi-DPI display, which is not something I can say for most Linux desktops. Also the font hinting/text rendering looks excellent too.
This is a good start to the discussion.

Let me add my $0.02. CPUs seem to hide memory issues with more-and-more cache. The most recent AMD EPYC chips have 256MB of L3 cache. Intel has less L3 cache, but has something like 1MB of L2 cache per core now (!!!). AMD has shown us the future: 64MB SRAM being grafted onto these chips to maybe add +64MB per die (or maybe 768 MB of L3 cache in a hypothetical EPYC in the future).

GPUs have a different design. GPUs have almost no caches worth discussing. Instead, GPUs have manually managed scratch RAM, also known as __shared__ memory (which roughly fits in the L1 cache speeds). __shared__ is pretty small though, maybe only 64kB or so. The real important thing about __shared__ is that any SIMD lane can read/write to it at high speeds, so it serves as a good area for inter-thread communications. ("Thread" is a bit ambiguous, but... lets just simplify it and call them cuda-threads).

The other bit GPUs have are a ridiculous number of registers. AMD RDNA has 1024-registers, of which up to 256 can be allocated into a kernel. (The device driver of modern GPUs will further parallelize loads by requesting only some of the registers per invocation. A well written memcpy kernel may only need 64 vector-registers for example... the device driver may load 16 parallel instances of this hypothetical kernel to run in parallel on the GPU core so all 1024 registers are used).

These 1024-registers are 32-bits and 32-SIMD-lanes wide on AMD RDNA, or 128kB of registers per WGP (workgroup processor, an AMD RDNA "core"). I kid you not: AMD RDNA has more registers per WGP than Intel Skylake had L1 cache per core!!

---------------

As such, we can immediately see how modern GPUs and CPUs get around the memory bandwidth issue. CPUs try to hide it with increasingly large caches... while GPU register sizes are so large that it borders on insanity.
Canada: Fast-moving proposal creates filtering, blocking and reporting rules
This is a good way to look at it. From our perspective, we are at a tipping point in the cybersecurity industry were AI/ML is becoming the core strategy of many businesses. Also services providers and enterprise companies can only afford a full SOC in house. Some of the most expensive areas of a SOC include engineering, data scientist, and architectures. There are analyst in that equation, but we believe we can up-level IT operators to bridge the skillset gap in security.

We believe our solution can bring these components together into one single platform, so even a small business can utilize security operations even on a a smaller budget.

I've gotta agree here. I was working on setting up CI/CD with github action for my first time, and I thought I kept doing something wrong because there was no indication of any problems on the UI. I was googling all sorts of stuff, and eventually decided to check the github status page.
Uber is an application that helps drivers find passengers (not the other way around). They do not control the costs associated with operating a car service and so have no chance of engendering the productivity necessary to keep costs down. Their VC subsidized attack on the taxi industry has actually destroyed much of the productivity gains inherent in traditional car service companies who were able to scale car maintenance and other fees (now each individual driver has to manage their own costs).

Uber's only major contribution is an easily reproducible app and considerable market manipulation which it can no longer maintain. If Uber decided to charge what their failed system actually requires for profitability, it would be uncompetitive against traditional car services that actually have the capacity to scale the costs associated with car services.
