Pentagon’s Former Software Chief Says US Loses the Technology Battle with China
Federated learning for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with Covid-19
This is a false choice.

As the world gets more unstable due to climate change — an increased risk on pandemics, civil unrest, extreme weather events — do we really want abandoned nuclear power stations added to the mix?

So, don’t do either. use way less energy, rely on renewables and batteries for the rest.

Where do you host your monitoring service. And how do you maintain uptime?
The main problem with Teams isn't Electron. The Chrome renderer is state-of-the art and V8 is an excellent JS runtime.

The problem is writing code for code reviews, not for users. You can't add a performance-aware architecture as an afterthought, and it's really hard to fix your code with a profiler if every single operation is slower than necessary.

On a very general level, modern development often encourages
"elegance" as in "code looks nice". Small things like looping through an array by creating an anonymous lambda function, creating an array-looping promise using that lambda, etc. What used to be one int, one comparison and one increment, is now fifteen objects created, seven levels of indirection and at least a few library calls.

This gets you software that manages to not keep up with my typing speed on a multi-gigahertz processor. It's not any single line of code that's hogging the cycles, and it's not fixable by changing the runtime from one Chrome variant to another.

The code looks much nicer though, I'm not denying that.
I dunno, we're looking at the worst case scenario in the history of nuclear power here, from a Gen 2 plant in the days when safety didn't matter. It is still doing better than a big dam failure. The risk looks pretty bearable.

The fact that it is still leaking power is a testament to how much energy there is in this tech. The upsides are unfathomable.

EDIT And my advice is abandon the waste argument. We've got 40 years of experience with it. It just hasn't turned out to be a problem. It isn't important enough to solve, the problem is tiny.
That is probably the primary use case for spot instances and certainly how I tend to used them. I have a few thousand files that need processing and each files takes 30 minutes. So I spin up 100 spot instances and use a small script to copy the file from a control machine to the next available remote machine, start the processing script, and then copy the result back when done.

I've also got another script that keeps track of how many spot instances are currently running and spins up some new ones (possibly in a different region) if they fall below a certain level.
Didn't know this was driven by PDS2. As much as I appreciate the convenience, I still find the whole drive fucking annoying - especially that, with all the talk about data portability, I still can't get a simple API endpoint I could point a script at to fetch me my account's balance.

You focused on the shark side and not on the lightning side. You will never get struck by lightning in a city, so there the probability is 0.

Knowing that they will get the bomb, the US had no reason to press on in the Pacific. A loss at Midway would have meant savage and immediate attacks on Australia (preceded of course by the takeover of Port Moresby, which was an Australian possession at the time). On the other hand a Japanese victory at Midway would have given Yamamoto the political capital to push for an armistice with America (he was part of the “Treaty” faction in the Imperial Japanese Navy, an armistice was his ultimate goal from the beginning). Japan also had a few tens of thousands of US, British and Australian POWs as a bargaining chip. All in all, both the US and Japan had all the reasons to sign an armistice. In which case the Two-Ocean Navy Act would have been dead. The US would have been able to redirect its industrial might into its other megaprojects at the time, the Manhattan and the B-29 projects, and obviously into everything that was needed for the European campaign.

But one could ask, why would the US rely on nukes, when they could grind it out, and eventually crush the Japanese with conventional weapons. The distinction between conventional and nuclear war is a post WWII concept. The question for Roosevelt was “should we lose 100000 people, or should we lose none, and still defeat Japan?” What do you think he would have answered?

still surprised that after working on Unicorn (uses QEMU engine, but with Python API to CPU instruction set and register set, useful for malware analysis) that the Intel TLB invalidate cache doesn’t work if the immediate address points to within its opcode’s own tiny operands.

Bah! A foolproof detector of being at virtualization within guest level is to use XOR opcode with Gx operand; and witness no change of its self-modified operand.
RDBMS have statistics to try addressing that.

IMHO just like machine learning is statistics on steroids, I would not be surprised to see some neural networks and embeddings try to model statistics for RDBMS in the future.

These models could just as well be these that can be used to infer if a user row is bound to add another order row, and which kind of product row to go with that.
I am not sure that you completely understand how higher education works in the US. This is understandable because it can be confusing.

Sticker price doesn't really matter, because those who cannot afford it are usually given financial aid and/or scholarships. At some places, the percentage of people receiving financial aid is over 50%.

The rhetoric that college is worthless and is solely an indication of "privilege" is harmful, especially to those who are lower income. College is still one of the best ways to acquire skills and an education, and is still one of, if not the biggest, ways for people to climb themselves and their families out of poverty.

Most students work their asses off to get into a good college, even the wealthy ones, and I think you underestimate their efforts and how hard it is to buy your way into a top school.

Also, there is definitely a significant difference, on average, between the type of student that MIT/UChicago/Stanford/etc might admit, compared to the students you might find at a top 100 college. I don't think that hiring should ever come down to where someone went to college like this (I'm sure that very rarely happens), but it does make sense most times for stretched recruiters to take into account where someone was trained because it does make a difference.

Seems reasonable. A lot of people involved in cryptocurrency seem to be trading way more often than is advisable when looking at the spreads (and thus exchange rake) involved. The exchange platforms certainly don't discourage extremely risky trading either, both by their interface design and by the level of leverage they offer. Finally, by providing it under the guise of "investing", which has a much better public image than "gambling", they provide it with a veneer of respectability. An ideal breeding ground for addicted behavior.

If you have a non-negligible amount of money on the line, you'll want to leave sooner than later and plan very carefully.

California is aggressive in going after people who leave the state, even years later, especially if you have a liquidity event shortly thereafter and/or plan to maintain ties to California. Keeping an address, coming back regularly to meet clients, etc. are all precisely the things the FTB uses to argue that people are still California residents.
Using Chernobyl as argument that nuclear power is "far too risky" is akin to using a car accident caused by an unsafe car as argument that cars are "far too risky".

Yes, it can be very dangerous. But so can many industrial and technological processes. The questions are rather can we make it safe? and, if so, can we reliably do it? The answers are 'yes' to both.
This is nonsense fear mongering. It didn't "just wake up" in any sense, the reactivity has been monitored for years and did rise slightly after 2017-2019 as the New Safe Confinement reduced the amount of rain getting into the structure.

The article seems to be jumping to conclusions without explaining how does "waking up" look like.
So it makes perfect sense to cover them.

There has been (one, perhaps two?) cases of damage to car by meteorite in the last decade, in the same period there have been billions of insurance policies issued. The per insurance policy cost is negligible.
Also a nice perspective: We'd have to allow developing countries and those with terribly corrupt/inefficient governments and regulatory regimes to use nuclear power.

I don't even like China engaging in large scale nuclear engineering, particularly because of how they screw up other sectors of industry.

If it wasn't for the ongoing Billion dollar lawsuit from Dominion, they still would be. Their fact checking is so non-existent they have have had multiple guests on that turned out to just be trolls that aren't even who they say they were.
The goal of NIF is weapons research, not fusion power (though their technology can in principle be used for fusion power as well, albeit extremely unlikely to be economical).

ITER is indeed aimed at studying fusion for power generation. It's important to remember though that even if ITER reaches its stated goal, it will not generate even one milliwatt of power - it will in fact consume much more power than it can generate. In fact, they are so far from net power generation that they didn't even bother to try to extract any usable power from the plasma - it wasn't even worth it to add turbines.

DEMO will be the "project" to try to obtain positive net power from plasma (it's not a project, it's just a concept that several countries aim to separately execute on, unlike the international collaboration of ITER). And the timeline for any DEMO net power generation is estimated at 30 years after ITER is successful - so 2050+ IF both ITER and DEMO achieve their expected timelines perfectly.

6 months of paid parental leave: The full story
I also found this a bit overly obvious at first, yet when considering it from an unintended side effects/uses perspective it's actually a valid thing to consider. For example, `less`[0] might be used with `sudo` to view a file owned by another user. This is all good until you remember that you can run arbitrary commands by just hitting '!' in the paging view, which are also runs with `sudo` privileges. Though that might seem like a bit of a contrived example, through unintended features otherwise safe tools can be unexpectedly dangerous (the entire point of this site).

For a real-ish world example of this effect, one of the OverTheWire wargame challenges [1] (spoilers for bandit) has a user login "shell" be a message saying login was prohibited, printed with `less`. When you resize your console window to a point where scrolling is needed and then attempt login, you can then interact with `less` and use '!' to run commands as the current user and print the key. Now you may say this isn't relevant to the `sudo` category of risk since who runs `sudo less` without also being able to run `sudo anything`, but many other apps use less as their pager, and some of those make much more sense to allow for general use with sudo (like say allowing all users to update apps, or any of hundreds of other insignificant things).

In short, I think the `sudo` and `setuid` notices might be better considered as "permission transparent", i.e. any permissions or access you hand to the listed tools are handed directly to the user as well. There are secure ways to not do this when writing programs, like by setting all of the real, effective, and saved uids [2] to something non-root (or the original calling user, if available) and totally wiping the capabilities sets before `exec()`ing anything, yet that's just what I remember from a computer security class a few years ago, you would probably be best off looking into it further if you're writing anything security sensitive.

The average age of cars on the road is above 10 years, if I recall correctly. This is plenty of time to rack up enough mileage to offset the carbon cost of manufacturing. Using averages, it seems like replacing a car with average MPG (25) with a car with 35 MPG, it only takes 7 years of driving to be better off CO2 wise. It takes even less for electric cars. I think most people overestimate how much CO2 is produced during manufacturing vs how much CO2 is produced by driving. I'm mostly going off of this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2IKCdnzl5k

Moreover, I don't believe that there is a daily commute that's more than 120 miles each way, and this is well within the capabilities of even reasonably priced electric cars today. If you have a charger at your workplace, you could accommodate even longer trips, however colder weather might make a big dent in the range of most electric cars.
AWS, and the monitors themselves are geographically redundant. So if ap-southeast-2 goes down, it uses another region like ap-southeast-1.

The web app that configures the monitors is deployed separately, so the web app can go down while the monitors + alerting keeps running.

The risk that comes from not using nuclear power is far greater and more likely. Fission is a temporary solution, but it has to be used to get to the next level -- just like we had to use every previous power source to get the next level.

That sounds like a culture problem to me.

SRE is just a fancy name for a class of people that make stuff more reliable. However it appears the reader of this book forgot about the other part: making stuff easy to use.

Everywhere I have worked in the last 10 years has had an embedded sysadmin/devop/SRE/PE of some sort. They are there to take the raw, difficult to use tools and adapt them so that developers are able to deploy without hand holding.

This means evangelising metrics, showing how to manage alerting, coordinating standards and leading incident responses.

The symptoms the writer describes are of a dysfunctional dev environment. Ideally your SRE should be able to rotate teams quickly. That means standards. Once a team is setup and running, they shouldn't really need ongoing SRE functions, unless they are making massive changes.

This can only happen if developers are re-using tools, rather than making new wheels out of space age materials and getting bored and moving onto new things.

I disagree. Perhaps not specifically these subs but the sentiment certainly involuntarily spreads opposition and one main purpose of subs like these is to have something to feel superior about. There are many like that, maybe these aren't the worst offenders.

I enjoy some of those myself from time to time, but it is what it is and has nothing to do with education and is more focused on self gratification. Just enjoy the pleasures in moderation.
