Wouldn't this be a direct antithesis to any expectation of privacy or data security people have of their social media hosts? If I run an instance called mycoolfacebook.example and get thousands of people to sign up, what's stopping me from just passively saving all 'friends only' posts that pour in from people with friends @facebook.com? Do we need e2ee mastodon now, or do we just hope laws take into account malicious observations?
I don't see why that would be particularly difficult to accomplish. A dataset made up of 3D assets would actually give an algorithm more information to work with. The question is whether it could generate a usable model and not an Eldrich horror of disconnected triangles and non-manifold geometry.

The easiest win would probably be to have an algorithm pick between predetermined types of assets (heads, appendages, clothes, etc), reshape them without actually adding new geometry, and then doing essentially what the linked page does with skins and shaders.
what would be demolished is the carbon fiber aero at the first carousel.
I do not think Holmes was competent enough to understand that tech would never work (this is still up for debate though, "never" is a very broad timeframe).

Instead, she did waht every CEO does - hired people whom she believed to be capable of making the tech work, gave an optimistic world view to the investors to make sure she has the time/money to get to production, and demanded the results from her employees.

If anything, she was too successful - she got too much money, and she got Walgreens to agree to a test run way too early. The rest is textbook Silicon Valley.

I am not a great communicator. I talk too fast, don't articulate my thoughts, start talking before the other person is finished (though I have a pet theory I picked up this habit from my first high-paced tech job working across 9 timezones with Indians =p ).

I am constantly trying to work on this part of myself-for both myself and others' benefit-but have to be careful to not get too anxious about trying to fix my communication.

I really appreciate this comment because I've found that when I talk to (close) friends about this challenge they do not consider communication something that can be much improved; communication style is mostly rigid. This baffles me because it seems like it would doom most bad communicators to a lifetime of bad communicating. This might be exactly how life works, I admit, but its an interesting way of getting to this obvious point.

Where do you recommend someone like me go to learn more about those vocal exercises you mentioned. That does seem like a great starting place.

> HTTPS can mitigate some of that, just like it can for VPNs, but the site you're going to is still very much visible.

Not in a sense that defeats privacy, since the exit node doesn't know the sender.

With Tor and HTTPS, no Tor node sees the cleartext data, and no node can associate me with the server I'm contacting. That sounds very much private to me.

I've read these warnings, but I don't see anything that would defeat privacy if Tor is used correctly.
I also noticed Eric's podcast episodes got more unhinged as time went by. I thought it was a little weird when he tried to launch his son as well. There are some good episodes in there though.
Email is a clear text protocol by design. Not that there is something bad in it (to me focing encryption everywhere doesn't make that much sense, and for most uses of email, you don't need that level of security), but you need to always keep that in mind.

For that reason, every server that claims to offer some end to end encrypted email service is bullshit, since somewhere the mail must be decrypted to be sent out to other servers (except if you exchange mails with users of the same service, that is extremely unlikely).

In my opinion, the best thing to do is to host your own mail server. For a person with a moderate knowledge of Linux it's not that difficult to install, the most difficult thing is to configure the server and the DNS correctly with all the record required to not be considered spam, and you have full control of your mail.

Yes, your mail of course are still going out in plain text when you send them to other servers (of course these days the communicatoin is TLS encrypted, but still they can be intercepted by controlling the destination server), but otherwise the messages are on your server, that can be a physical machine with encrypted disks if you want it to (I don't care that much and I have my server on AWS).

This much more clearly displays the problem with all these “this service does not exist” because even though it doesn’t show the source material it’s abundantly clear that these are just simple stitches of the training toons.

Like you get Elsa with different hair or the up grandpa in a suit.

Once you compare them to the closest examples from the training date it becomes a lot less impressive than the implied “this face is completely out of the imagination of a AI model” turns out the model just imagined someone in the training set with the hair of someone else. Quite boring.
That’s what I thought this might be before reading the article. Off the top of my head maybe you could signal market movement with a certain stimulus (e.g. a green or red light for up or down market, varying intensity). Of course it wouldn’t work, but if it did the results would be gruesome. Imagine a network of thousands of hamsters plugged into a trading interface to exploit their collective pattern-recognition: the strong traders allowed to feed and reproduce, the weak ones obviously culled. The price of hamster bedding increases 10,000%. Just awful.

This reminds me of a 2016 blog post titled "Scalable and Secure Access with SSH" [1] on the Facebook engineering blog which does this with standard SSH tooling. I think the benefit of HIBA is more granularity in terms of authorization per system via Grants attached to certs as compared to authorized principal files on the hosts. Grants are centrally managed and can be given on a case-by-case basis, and revoked individually, for example.

There is actually a difference.

The person who wants a change can pay you, or anyone else, to implement it. Then everyone gets it, but you still get paid for it.

Which is actually a sustainable business model. One corporation pays you $5000 for change A, another pays you $3500 for change B, an individual pays you $100 for small change C, you make $8600 this month and the whole world gets A, B and C.

In theory you might now have corporation A waiting for someone else to pay for the change instead of paying for it themselves, but if the change to them is worth $10,000/month and waiting for somebody else to do it causes them to have to wait five years, how does the math work out for them on that?

IIRC, there were no motherboards at that time shipping with a large enough flash ROM to hold the microcode, etc. necessary to support every generation of CPU on the AM4 socket, so in practice supporting the Ryzen 5xxx processors would require a motherboard firmware update that removes support from some older processors—possibly the one you're using to prepare for the CPU upgrade. AMD decided that would be a support nightmare and instead opted to make CPU support somewhat loosely tied to chipset generation (beta BIOS versions excepted).
Registration is relatively easy. The hard part is having good legal docs for the required documents for a corporation.

You might also consider an S Corp which has easier tax processes and can be converted to a C corp easily.

So what you mean is that any color that is a mixture of two wavelength that trigger two different cones is “close” in some sense to the perceived color of either one of those wavelengths?

This doesn’t mean color is “circular” per se, right? I suppose color perception with 3 cones has a sort of circularity when we plot the color space in 2d, but I’m not sure that sufficiently explains our experience of color.

Anyway, what you’re saying is that mixtures of two things can be perceived as close to one of the two inputs. The argument holds for any number of cones - if we had 10 cones, we could still trigger the two with the furthest apart wavelength response using a mixture of two separate wavelengths, and the result would be “close” to one of the two. But this also holds for any pair - the mixture of imagined cone #3 and imagined cone #6 would also yield a color that is “close” to #3, and also “close” to #6.

Has anyone asked a tetrachromat this question? What would it mean if they disagree that red is close to purple? What would it mean if they agree?

What I mean is that I had this "feeling", not even a belief, that if things go bad for everyone, then whomever is in charge will finally realize that shit's going sideways, and pull the plug on it. I'm saying feeling rather than belief cause I don't think I ever really believed that ; instead it's probably more of a remnant from childhood when there was always someone to save us in the end.

Their latest version was released on Sept 15th, 10 days ago. Can't imagine this version has been in manual review for even a week.

The split is different (but apparently not as different as I thought [1]) if you filter for Catholics who attend Mass regularly. Surveys of people who merely identify as Catholic also show that a large percentage do not believe in transubstantiation, one of the most fundamental beliefs of the Church. The Bishops have lots of problems to deal with besides just politics.

Thank you for your note, I'll keep it mind in case I try to get them to document things and / or read things.

The goal of my comment wasn't to document every attempt I made in the last months to convince them that writing some things down would be beneficial for the team. I do speak with them, we have video calls and we also talked about this topic multiple times.

I wanted to point out that it's a funny experience when you send a document to someone with the purpose of providing them a great overview, highlighting the benefits of these design docs... And nobody reads them.

I already understand the benefits of in person communication, I don't want to eradicate video calls, I'd just prefer to write our decisions down so that other people who were not part of a decision can read these docs and join later.

In the end, I understand that I'm trying to change the status quo and change the team culture, I know it's a hard thing to do, and I get it that it will take a while.

The chat that doesn't require immediate feedback is called "email".

Otherwise you are stuck with "hey, can you help?" with zero details for when you actually get to take a look. Then you have to say "yeah, what's wrong?" and wait another hour. A properly written email would have solved the issue in a tenth of the time.

I think people are aware of when they're Doomscrolling[0]. Do they need their devices to remind them of excessive screentime? That depends on what info they're consuming. I deliberately follow and subscribe to positive and uplifting content, and people. There are plenty of groups on Facebook, and lists on Twitter that have nothing but inspirational messages and content to make you Think Different™ about your life. I have two news apps on my device that I check daily just to keep tabs on current events. I deliberately train my feeds not to have news-type content because once I've read the news, I don't need to see it popup in my feeds again throughout the day.

Lets accept that the rate of change of technology during the enlightenment was as rapid as the last 100 years (it wasn't but lets accept it) - that was two centuries ago, these prints are 200K years ago, that's 3 orders of magnitude older.

There have been points in our history where technology/knowledge has advanced quicker than the baseline but the last two-three centuries (and particularly the last one) have been exceptional.

Whether that rate of change is sustainable for another century I don't know, I'd like to hope so since it'd mean humans are doing pretty well.

But if you took someone born in 1880 (a century before me) and they lived 90 years they'd have seen the invention of flight, the invention of the motorcar, the electrification of the world, the invention of wireless, the invention of TV, the invention of the internet, the invention of antibiotics, the invention of synthetic materials, the invention of the telephone, the first heart transplant, the invention of the nuclear bomb, the discovery of the structure of DNA and literally thousands of other technologies and discoveries in one human lifespan).

So may groups have done it, from spies to terrorists to secret lovers. It works well. While providers might be constantly combing your drafts for ad suggestions or statistics (unlikely), what brings an email to someone's attention are one or both of the endpoints. I don't think that threats are often actively thinking of the IPs of webmail visitors as endpoints, or recording the order of access in an easy to digest or process manner.

They probably would be if you were targeted, though, but that's what Tor and VPNs are for.

In my experience 90% of meetings with more than 3 people are irrelevant to my work. Here's a couple examples:

"Standups" that are really PM status calls that constantly go down rabbit holes. My update is 30s or less, but the meetings are always 30 minutes long and usually run over.

"Code reviews" that are really run/monopolized by one person. The entire team is required to attend even if you have no code, but in practice no one other than the runner is allowed to provide feedback.
