All that's changed is that this role is now visible in IAMS and any API calls by Amazon support tools will be logged in AWS CloudTrail - I don't think AWS have any more access now than they did before.

It's obvious to anyone who has had problems with any AWS services (lambda functions that couldn't be deleted, non properly propagating/operational services) that support has access to them via their tools.

It's especially useful in crowd gatherings, group photos and such. I think it's rather designed for concerts, weddings, etc.

My A7-III has it. Since it uses Eye-AF and Face-AF pipelines (it generates a face model from the photo you take for that feature only), it needs AI autofocus stack inside the camera. A7-C should have it, maybe latest APS-C lines (6600 for example) have it.

Sony's AF tech is insane. Point to a person with sunglasses, and it marks the eye instantaneously. What the actual sorcery?

- German public insurance is priced according to income, not health condition. Preconditions aren't a thing°

- You know that the treatment is covered before it begins. There are no surprise costs. There are rarely any costs at all, except for a 5-10€ deductible that cannot go above a certain monthly amount.

- It covers your dependents for free.

- It covers students for very cheap.

- It covers you in all of the EU, by law. This includes internships abroad.

Basically, you can trust your insurance to fully cover all necessary care, with no exceptions.

What is sad to see is how many Chinese are supporting genocide.
No it isn't.

I could just re-post the post you replied to, as it is explained there, but that probably won't help at this point... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The problem seems to be that, as with many things in China, the laws and regulations are considered more guidelines than actual rules. If the authorities want to crack down on stuff, they do and there's nothing anyone can do about it, and it's not always clear what criteria are used to make decisions on these things, if any.
> I would expect they are interested in me or don’t care.

There are several degrees of interest. Essentially they are interested in everyone trying to hide anything from them and they probably understand people of real danger to them will do their best to look ordinary and mediocre.

> If their policy says nothing over 256, then they likely have capability for more.

Sounds reasonable but breaking 512 obviously is much harder than 256 and will take significant time and resources they don't really want to waste. They will rather force you to reveal the key and only break 512+ if they can't easily reach you physically or identify you in the first place.
I mean, looking at it and knowing python is strong at lists and dictionaries… there sure is a better way which I would search for.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the OP was talking about the overhead of lifetime management for objects that don't live for a very long time. Or maybe objects that don't have "interesting" lives.

One example in my head individual strings that need to be constructed dynamically but live for the lifetime of the application (better to leak it with Box::leak or lazy_static! than pollute all code with lifetimes)

Another is writing in lifetimes for single purpose objects that live on the stack and might only ever get passed by ref into a single function and then get destroyed soon after.

Lifetimes are super important in rust and are a core part of the language, but in such degenerate cases they take up a lot of programmer effort for little benefit. In my head a "automatic" solution such as GC /could/ have a home in the language. Perhaps this would make rust a slightly better fit for really complex monolithic GUI apps (word processing, spreadsheets, CAD) where full GC would be performance-onerous but data lifetimes would be too complex for rust's strictly ordered lifetime concept
Are you serious? Infantino is trying to introduce a two-year schedule for the World Cup, solely to make more money. Not to mention that Infantino and two Swiss judicial officials are under active investigation in a corruption scandal [1].

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, I also recommend SSE over websockets, especially if all you want is to signal clients when state changes on the server.

SSE is a simple protocol that you can easily implement yourself both in the server and the client if the client lacks support.

SSE also adds naturally to existing infrastructure of request-response if you only use SSE for notification and keep everything the same, i.e. use same endpoints as before for fetching new data on a SSE notification event, and thus can be turned off as easily if problematic, e.g. too high server load.

> It's a bit messy in JS.

Mainly, IME, because of the combination of JS map, etc., passing extra, infrequently used parameters, and functions you might want to use often accepting optional less-frequently-used parameters, which can end up interacting horribly wrong when you do:

arr.map(func)

instead of:

arr.map(v => func(v))

when you want a “simple” map application.

Grindr €6.5M fined for not collecting users’ valid consent for sharing data
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority imposed a fine of €6,500,000 on Grindr for not collecting users' valid consent for sharing data with third parties for profiling and advertising purposes from the Grindr App.

Particularly interesting is that it is not allowed under GDPR to have a free version of an app with the condition that it shares personal data (in this case for targeting and profiling for ads) as the consent of the user is not freely given in this case - in a "Take it or leave it" situation, consent cannot be seen as freely given.

> "Intel (INTC.O) recently published what it described as an annual letter to suppliers, dated December, that it had been 'required to ensure that its supply chain does not use any labour or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region', following restrictions imposed by 'multiple governments'."

As policies go, that one seems kind of clumsy. Assuming for the sake of argument that Uighurs are being used for forced labor in China (which I'm inclined to believe), then isn't "workers in Xinjiang region are forced labor, workers outside of Xinjiang are not" a bit of an oversimplification? Presumably there is also non-forced labor happening in Xinjiang, and probably some amount of forced labor happening outside Xinjiang.

I suppose sometimes simple heuristics can work well enough to get the job done and more complicated supply chain audits might be too hard. (One obvious alternative is to just stop trading with China at all, but that's a policy that's unlikely to be enacted by the U.S. or other large nations for equally obvious reasons.)
Are you referring to third party seller sales on the amazon.com websites?

That's completely different and separate issue from AWS customer data (for example someone running e-commerce software on a linux VM).

3rd party seller sales pay Amazon commission on each sale - deciding which products are selling well is just a matter of Amazon doing a SQL call on their own sales database (much like a physical retailer may see what brands/products are selling well)
> DI is the biggest snake oil out there. The vast majority of time it's just used as a hack job to enable test isolation in weak languages and gives you no real-world decoupling.

Have you got any data or writings to back this up? I ask because what you write is my gut feeling but I can't put it into words or convince anyone.

That I have ended up programming in an area where the answer to testing is "spin that into its own class so it's testable" when the code is used in a single place, would be fine as a private or protected method, but still needs tests to confirm the output is right, drives me crazy. For libraries sure, but for checking the date parsing is right, that you didn't mess up the calculation... just let me test the damn protected method and be done with it.

Hundreds of tiny classes benefits no one, only the testing framework.
> LLVM binaries

I wouldn’t want LLVM, I like JIT. The binaries are CPU and OS agnostic; sometimes I debug C# code on AMD64 Win10 which then runs on Alpine Linux with ARMv7 and ARM64 CPU. It’s relatively easy to generate code in runtime, allows to beat C performance in some cases, and enables good serialization libraries. Binaries are tiny because CIL is more efficient than machine code.

In modern .NET startup time is pretty good despite the JIT. Also, on modern hardware you wouldn’t want short-lived processes being launching at kilohertz frequency regardless on the language. Because cache hierarchy, you’d want to reuse RAM pages over time as much as possible.

> no MS involved

I think after the complete thing is cross platform and open source, MS involvement is not a huge deal anymore.
As a Chinese, I think the logic of certain Western countries is ridiculous. Because Xinjiang’s human rights situation is considered to be problematic, so Xinjiang’s companies are banned. As an analogy, can I think that the human rights situation of African Americans is terrible, so I need to ban companies that employ African Americans?

These bans will only make the living conditions of minorities worse, because they may lose their jobs because of the ban.

By the way, Uyghurs live and work in every province in China, especially in the catering industry. I have never heard complaints about forced labor. American propaganda makes me feel ridiculous, but it seems to be working.
> Assuming that "session" state persists beyond the lifetime of either the client or the server is generally problematic.

I don't think you're interpreting the problem right? The state is tied to the connection, not outliving client or server. But it outlives single requests, and would be uncomfortably expensive to re-establish per request.
The implied but not stated corollary is that everyone who is assuming there's a difference is making unsupported assertions.

Still reading, but an early highlight for me is their rewriting of the attention mechanism in terms of tensor products. (Section “Attention Heads as Information Movement”) I always found the original formulation in terms of query/key/value/output matrices quite hard to operationally make sense of.

Some 15 years ago when I was an undergraduate, I took a class in Linear Algebra. A month or whatever in we got to the chapter of transformation matrices: Rotation and translation of 3D points. I immediately saw the utility: I could make 3D graphics with these tools! I pretty much ran home and started building a first person spaceship game, pouring over the book trying to work out how to make all these bits fit together. The graphics were rudimentary, I used SDL and most stars were just white squares (SDL_FillRect), but eventually I got to the point where I could travel in "space" and have the stars zoom by.

Turns out, software matrix multiplication is not the best way of doing 3D graphics, but it's a great way of learning how the mathematics of it works. In the mean time of doing all this I had gotten linear algebra. LA was one of the first "hard" classes we took, and a lot of people barely passed. I got top grades in that class.

The moral of the story is that if you want to learn how something works, then this (what OP is doing), is correct. This is a great way to learn. There probably is a faster or better way of doing it, but in terms of learning-efficiency, this is great.

" feel that "economics" as currently practiced has "you're not allowed to take the rich people's money" baked in as a very deep but generally unspoken assumption. "

It's more simple than that.

The unspoken assumption is: "There's a fixed amount of money".

Once you realise there is no more a fixed amount of money as there are a fixed amount of awardable points in basketball, then how many points "the rich" happen to have becomes an irrelevant concern.

Then you can get onto the real issue - what are the power dynamics and are real resources being used effectively or hoarded.
