This probably doesn't matter very much, but I found it very interesting. If you watch some old 80s movies, you'll find they had a very naive sense of information, deception, and revolution. I'm thinking particularly of movies or shows like Pump Up the Volume or Max Headroom. "The People" (ie, a few extras and the main characters) were presented with "the truth" (ie, a few sentences about some minor corruption.) and this led to a deus ex machina revolution where those powers were somehow "defeated." Even if this didn't happen on screen, it was sort of implied "everything is ok now."

I think these sorts of cultural ideas hearken back to the cold war, and refer directly to the USSR. Real, specific coverups occurred, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Soviet_cover-ups) and were perpetrated directly by specific government officials, and these specific government officials sat atop a very fragile and vulnerable government structure. Furthermore, the government truly attempted to cover things up, usually successfully.

Obviously we're in a much different world now, and the propagation of information has forced an evil government to move from coverup to disinformation. (or at least spin and messaging.) It sometimes feels like the culture has not quite caught up to this yet. I still see people shouting that people need to know "the truth," and there seems to be an expectation that once "the people" know "the truth," then everything will be alright, just like we saw on TV so many times.
At least she sought out professional advice and acted on it. It could be a lot worse.
The key is ending the device query string with DA1 aka "Primary Device Attributes", which literally every terminal i've managed to test with responds to. Guaranteed that one answer, you completely avoid nasty timeouts. This is required for even VT100 conformance, so it can be expected on even hardware terminals (though not necessarily those outside the DEC family).

I tested over 24 terminals personally, and the only one I found which didn't respond to DA1 was Terminology from EFL, which crashed forty ways to a friday anyway so who really cares?

i'm glad you asked, as i'm hella proud of this entire system. you can check the code at:

i mean, it's tricky, and you have to think some things out pretty carefully, but it works. everything hinges on DA1.

> Consider also the issue of Mars’ fragile ecosystem. The planet certainly has a hostile environment for human life, but on Mars, humans will be the invasive species with all that implies.

Mars has no ecosystem that we know of, since that implies life. Likewise, in general "invasive species" is a term used in relation to the impact caused on the native ecosystem.

> When you are 100% free from cancer you are still a cancer patient but its said to be 'in remission'.

Actually, the term "in remission" is used because the signs and symptoms might have disappeared, but cancer may still be in the body. It means cancer has not been found, and that there is no evidence of disease, however due to the nature of the disease you can't be sure that the cancer has been 'cured' (i.e. gone) because it still might be in the body even though there is no sign of disease. When you are 100% free of cancer you are said to be cured, however as this can not be known, some doctors say you are "cured" after 5 years of complete remission, because that gives a sufficient degree of certainty that the cancer is gone.

> It is the most consistent with medical language used to date, as such could not possibly be described as being thrown around for PR purpopses or just out right fear mongering.

It might be an improvement, although personally I think the main issue is bundling it all together is misleading, as you bundle the extreme cases with the less-severe ones. If 1% of people have 'long covid' there is a big difference between 0.9% of people having a slightly reduced sense of taste after 12 weeks which recovers after 6 months and 0.1% of people having chronic fatigue forever, and visa-versa. The bundling together as a singular 'Long Covid' I personally think is an intentional language tactic increase compliance to rules IMO.

>This is a strawman argument. Publishing the code/weights is not mutually exclusive to providing an API

You're misinterpreting my comment. I'm directly addressing this fragment by the gp: >which can be downloaded, and accessed as a library,

I'm not making any moral ideology statements about the model's "openness", "transparency", or "intellectual property".

As a person very interested in playing with something like GPT-3, I'm talking about practical concerns of even running the model. Some type of cloud API access let's me run experiments today. Hopefully the API cost is reasonable or free with limits. I believe that's true of most researchers because they can't afford the hardware in the near future to run a GPT-3-size model as local library.

I'm not a proponent of many of the practices Facebook regularly engages in but this, as described, is quite harmless. I'm not sure what the purpose of this article is other than to try and paint a false narrative.

Are people really unaware that encryption doesn't limit the information they send to only ever be viewed by the intended recipient? That's not how and never has been how encryption works, it's not a mission impossible letter that self destructs.

The point of E2E encryption is that you trust a recipient and don't trust the medium data is sent through to the recipient. Once the recipient has the information, how well you assessed your trust in the recipient is what matters regarding the security of the information you sent. Nothing has ever prevented the recipient from breaking that trust and sharing information sent to them.

There are of course ways of reducing access to the recipient of the information through a specific technology (view once, time expirations, "self destruction", highly controlled viewing areas, etc), making it more difficult for the recipient to "proove" you sent the information and show the information relying more on the recipients word, but even that has never been that secure (Snapchat is a simple example of such).

Raspian originally was a custom build of Debian to target the unusual hardware support of the 1st gen Pi (it had hardware float but not other bits needed for the armhf architecture, e.g. like having SSE but no PAE on x86, I can't remember the details though). Newer Pis are more standard (see "Are the images 32 or 64 bits?" at https://raspi.debian.net/faq/), and so Raspian isn't needed for them. So that's the difference between Debian and Raspian (there's likely other differences with extra things the RPi foundation has added, but YMMV if you find them useful or not).

For SoCs, you can either do the installation on the device (which can be painful), or build a chroot with the needed features and flash it to hardware (e.g. sdcard or some board storage), https://raspi.debian.net/ is providing pre-built chroots for you to flash (but if you wanted, you could use https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs to build/customise your own). There's lots of similar projects which build a Debian chroot for a specific SoC, either with custom kernels or with a specific feature-set (e.g. freedombox: https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/). None of these are "official" Debian projects (I think debian installer a.k.a. d-i is the only official/supported way of doing a install), but many are run by Debian Developers scratching a specific itch.

FYI, if you look at https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs/-/commits/ma..., there appears to be a fair few people who've made changes, and a least a few of them I recognise as being DDs, so it's not just one person (Gunnar Wolf is probably the person the name's been allocated to, and he probably wrote the docs). If it's security support you're thinking about, I'd put those images as more likely to have a fix early than Raspian (as those images are stock Debian, not rebuilds).
Your definition of computer is overly narrow. This complaint is like saying, "your model railroad doesn't expose you to the details of running a real railroad". Of course it doesn't, but that's not the point and it doesn't mean there aren't things that can be learned about "real" railroads from modeling. There is a lot to learn about how computers work from building a virtual machine like this; models and abstractions exist because it's extremely difficult to learn everything all at once.

Not sure this is applicable to anyone else, but when it comes to being a kid with no money for me that meant literally no digital money. I had no bank account (at least not with a debit card associated) and my parents would not have given me theirs.

It's a little clickbaity. Here is the core of the article:

> A Facebook representative told Insider that it allows users to report abuse, and those reports are then reviewed by contractors. When a user reports abuse, WhatsApp moderators are sent "the most recent messages sent to you by the reported user or group, according to WhatsApp's FAQ.

> WhatsApp is founded on so-called "end-to-end" encryption, which means that messages are scrambled before being sent and only unscrambled when they're received by the intended user. But when a user reports abuse, unencrypted versions of the message are sent to WhatsApp's moderation contractors, ProPublica reports.
In other news, bitcoin is at the same price as it was 2 to 3 weeks ago.

I'm also intrigued that this has 29 points and 0 comments.
Unfortunate wording in the title. The price of Bitcoin "crashed" as in plummeted, and the Chivo wallet system they're trying to use in El Salvador "crashed" as in went offline. The Bitcoin network, of course, chugged merrily along, at its usual 4 or so txns/second.
One argument critics bring in I don't understand is that Bitcoin is too volatile to be a currency. If a zoned market solely accept Bitcoin and a good costs say 1 BTC, why does it matter if the BTC-to-USD price is increasing or decreasing? For the zoned market it's still 1 BTC for said good.
Woof. What a tremendous amount of hope with such a small amount of reality.

Capitalism has been so successful, it's convinced people that they can have all of it's benefits with none of the pain. That we can achieve advanced technology, bountiful harvests (sans genetically engineered and ecosystem-destroying mass-produced industrial farming), and seeming social stability, without a global system of profit seeking.

I'm not a fan of capitalism. But it's pretty clear when you look at other economies and the state of the world in the past that advancements and social stability don't come cheap. In a post-capitalist society, most of those resources wouldn't exist because there'd be a lack of capital to develop them. Where they did exist, they'd be too expensive for the common person to benefit from them. And where they were applied to the whole society, they'd be ineffective due to poor funding models.

Neat! I've been thinking of building something similar to this — a portable Linux machine that has an eInk display and little QWERTY keyboard, in a size that's a just a bit bigger than a smartphone.

I've had a spare eInk display laying around for some time now, and it's about ~~5"~~ 3.7" in size, I think. I managed to get it working with a Pi Zero, and wrote a small Python script which captures the desktop, and then compares it to the previous capture, and then updates the bounds of where the capture is different. Somewhat slow with a Pi Zero, but still somewhat usable. I really need to look into the possibility of performing partial refreshes on the display to save it from having to invert the screen every time there is a change.

I might try and use a Pi 4/ Pi CM4 to drive the whole thing — I believe the bottleneck mainly lies in sending the data over to the display, which the Pi Zero is unfortunately quite slow at doing. Plus, it would potentially be a bit more powerful/useful with the newer processor found on the Pi 4!
FWIW, I do still totally use NoScript, and am somewhat picky with what I enable; quite many e.g. blogs (and news sites too) are in fact readable enough without it. And in case of blogs in particular (especially on the blogger site), I do quite often just skip reading them if they don't show anything with JS disabled, as this is plain dumb first of all, but also tends to be a strong signal that the particular site will be super slow, annoying, and hard to read with JS enabled anyway.

Another possibility is to write to the mods and ask them to change it, in case you made a horrible mistake. But this is not horrible.

Just remember to use the original title next time you post something.

It looks like you are the author of the blog post and/or the developer of the software. Next time add a small comment explaining that and offering to answer questions. It's not mandatory, but sometimes people is more friendly if the submitter is the author and replies the questions in the thread.
I heard the same thing in the 90's, when moving IT jobs to the three I's (India, Israel, Ireland) was all the rage. I figured out which parts of the job were hardest to move, and got good at those. Fortunately, defects in quality and responsiveness killed many of those initiatives.

Focus on the parts of the job that aren't easy to automate. For example, AI may become good at writing code, but not at figuring out what code to write. Get good at Architecture and Requirements, and understanding the business you support.
I appreciate this has been debated extensively already - but while crypto currency (especially stable coins) can be a worthwhile alternative to fiat money, bitcoin really isn't. A significant crash or surge happens every couple of weeks.
I saw an election poster many years ago which I have acted on since, suggesting not to vote for yourself but for those less fortunate. Never forgot it.
It's normal BTC behavior, BTC spikes up and goes down all the time. 10-15% per day moves happen regularly. Open the price chart and look at it.
That's a mighty big if though, since to a first approximation nothing except maybe ransoms is priced in Bitcoin. Most shops notionally accepting it actually set prices in USD and simply convert as needed.
Bitcoin is volatile not in relation to USD, but to "real prices". USD or EUR are just more stable in relation to those, so it's convenient to measure BTC in USD. You can't fix the prices in BTC because you'd soon find that you are overpricing or underpricing in relation to real supply and demand of all the stuff around.

I'm not a fan of SRM, but this isn't true.

The idea people in the SRM research community have go more like that you have declining CO2 emissions, at some point you turn around by deploying negative emissions tech and SRM is basically your "let's cut off the worst effects in times of highest CO2 concentrations". This is e.g. often described by David Keith, who's one of the leading advocates for SRM research.

Whether any of that is feasible or realistic is of course debatable, also whether one should even go down that path and whether even the prospect of doing SRM is blocking faster climate action. (And I sympathize with all those concerns, but I think paiting a wrong picture doesn't help.)
