For FIDO (and thus WebAuthn, and thus to make this actually practical beyond a toy that only works for some particular Yubico product) the keys are random per enrollment. This is intentional because it means that you can't be tracked, since "your" key on Facebook and "your" key on GitHub are no more related to each other than "my" key on Facebook is to "your" key on GitHub.

Google have apparently some plans to address this problem in the medium term. Adam Langley has written vaguely on this subject before. In the short term, their priority is the trick he wrote about most recently - if your Android phone is enrolled as a Security Key with Google, and it's signed in to Google because it's an Android phone, and you use Chrome on a desktop, which is also signed into Google, the Chrome can use Bluetooth to determine if the phone is physically nearby and if so propose to authenticate your desktop Chrome to a remote web site using the Android phone. Elegant, albeit not suitable for those who fear lock-in.
make doesn't really understand C or C dependencies, but the compilers usually do. Here is a minimal example that will take care of dependencies by passing -MD -MP to gcc or clang. The dependencies (*.d files) get generated as part of the normal gcc/clang invocations. There is no separate dependency generation step.

$ cat Makefile
CFLAGS := -MD -MP
hello: hello.o x.o y.o
-include *.d

$ echo '#include "x.h"' > x.c
$ echo '#include "y.h"' > y.c
$ touch x.h y.h
$ echo 'int main(void) {}' > hello.c

$ make
cc -MD -MP -c -o hello.o hello.c
cc -MD -MP -c -o x.o x.c
cc -MD -MP -c -o y.o y.c
cc hello.o x.o y.o -o hello

$ touch x.h

$ make
cc -MD -MP -c -o x.o x.c
cc hello.o x.o y.o -o hello

The original article seems to assert that there are essentially no non-grinder buyers (which would be a key distinction from the gold farming) that in this case the existing grinders are selling the items to the new-potential grinders who are paying an initial investment with the hope of recovering it by grinding - if that's the case, then it is essentially a classic pyramid scheme where you as a newcomer pay so that future newcomers would pay you more afterwards; which works until the stream of new incoming money dries up.

> We hackers like to believe there is a technological solution for everything. These projects feed that delusion. Massive reductions and degrowth are hard for us to accept.

Massive reductions and degrowth are not going to happen in a democracy. People can say they are all for fighting climate change, but the minute the price of gasoline goes up, they are ready to vote out the leaders. Look at the US where Biden's approval rate has an inverse correlation with the price of gasoline.

Look at France and the yellow vest protests.

Expecting people to reduce consumption to fight climate change is like Malthus expecting people to embrace celibacy to combat overpopulation - not going to happen. Thankfully, for overpopulation, safe, cheap, effective birth control (a technological solution) turned things around. We will need the same for climate change.

Seems clear to me he's upset the other driver's liability insurance isn't covering the accident in a case where law enforcement and others see clear liability for that other driver, and other driver's insurer's reasons seem to more or less amount to "you haven't legally compelled me to pay yet, and probably won't."
My pet theory on Bachelor Farmer is that being owned by the Daytons affected the closing quite a bit.

It was a hobby of theirs, but nothing they were willing to keep around as a risk (contrast with Spoon and Stable, Gavin’s identity). The other restaurants in the area are booming (Kado no Mise, Belacour, Billys are a few particular post-Covid success stories on the same block)

Check out this cool little late night snack place in St. Paul.[1] The idea is a bunch of little food trucks, but it’s all inside so you can enjoy it during the winter, too. What a cute date idea, right? Go out and see a movie, then get some late night tacos. It’s right in downtown, surely it’s safe.

Oh wait, it’s not at all safe. Fourteen innocent people were shot because some gang members showed up and opened fire indiscriminately. It hardly made the news.

I almost moved to uptown a few months ago and I am unbelievably happy that I decided to move to safe and boring Wayzata instead.

> "Each person leads with their beliefs and emotions. . ."

This is a common problem but there's something I'd call the Feynman solution, as he describes it in several of his lectures (New Zealand QED lecture I think). It's probably applicable to engineering problems as well as to scientific research.

Basically, you have to train yourself not to be emotionally tied to a particular outcome. In Feynman's case, he was talking about scientific theories about the nature of the universe, in the context of a question about whether he 'liked' quantum theory or not. As he put it, you don't get to tell nature how to behave, if you want to understand nature you're going to have to accept that some cherished theory or other that you wanted to be true is going to end up in the garbage bin of failed notions. A corollary is, have something else to get emotionally involved in, family, art, music, etc.

It seems the same with engineering of all sorts. Love that brilliant code you wrote, love that language you've spent all that time learning, love that system you spent a decade building, love those architectural blueprints you slaved over for six months? If it doesn't work for the problem at hand, it's best to toss it out the window and try something else, and getting emotional about it is a mistake. Equivalently, tossing something that works just because you have antipathy towards it for some reason is not the way to go.

Otherwise you end up like all those physicists who hated quantum mechanics so much that they either quit physics or spent decades of effort on futile attempts to refute it.
> By "petroleum industry CCS is a scam" I assume you're referring to efforts to make fuels from atmospheric carbon

Petroleum industry CCS also includes pumping captured CO2 directly into underground reservoirs. Not only is this unstable (it's not chemically transformed), and inefficient (solid chemical forms take less space, less pressure, don't need cooling to remain liquid, etc.), but those reservoirs are typically old oil/gas wells: "capturing" CO2 in those wells will push out any remaining oil/gas, which the company can then sell for burning.

The point is that bullshit jobs don't contribute anything to society (at least my take after reading the book).

If the game studio never existed not much in society would change, let's go even further and say all game developers never existed. Society wouldn't change. Now lets get rid of all the elementary school teachers. Would society drastically changed?

One of the core points in the book is that the "more prestigious" and "higher pay" a job is, the likelihood of it being bullshit is high. While important jobs like janitor, barber, or a retail worker are very important and pay terribly.

I'm a programmer that develops CRM software. If my company cease to existed the world wouldn't even shrug.
> Note, I never disagreed with the author…

Well, it was certainly hard to see it any other way:

Author:

From your first reply:

A typical spectrum is the exact same thing as gradients of frequencies.

As your reply did not explicitly make this claim about the autism spectrum, it nominally did not directly contradict the author, but if it was not about the autism spectrum, then it was utterly pointless to raise it here - and, furthermore, it took several promptings on my part before you addressed this issue.

With regard to your second paragraph, I completely agree.
seriously, there've been six of these in the last two days
Case sensitivity is a good idea for sorting/identifying between files/directories.
That's the exact opposite of the term "bullshit jobs" which is about the situations where people are getting paid (sometimes even quite much) for doing something that does not create any value, where the work done is bullshit.
In my international travel, where I used to (a) carry an unlocked phone, then (b) used to use the second (physical) SIM slot once that became available, I would buy SIMs from local carrier shops or kiosks (whichever costs less), and found that $10/GB is really not ludicrously expensive in first world markets.

It's difficult to get SIMs that work in local places around the world that do everything you need to do and cost much less than that. Plus the ones you buy locally have different numbers.

Eventually I switched this around, I put my US carrier in my SIM slot, and I use eSIM on the phone to get decent digital plans "in market". Some are digital via apps, some are QR codes from shops or kiosks.

eSIM seems to have better or at least competitive pricing for the last 4 years or so.

// Note I'm generally using a lot of data, so cost matters. The only thing I've found much cheaper is to get a local carrier who also offers free unlimited WiFi from local APs. Anywhere this works, that naturally beats any cell-only plan. You usually won't find this except by searching local language sites or going into local carrier stores and asking.
This is addressed in the original white paper. In a world where BTC is valued at 1M USD/coin you’d also expect a decent amount of day to day usage. Miners could still make decent profits based on transaction fees just from confirming blocks even once the Coinbase rewards stop. I’m not saying that’s currently the case, but that is the design. Also if miners are making a profit off let’s say $40k/coin and the price goes down to 30, yet there’s still a profit for some miners, how exactly does that become unsustainable?
I saw Tenet this year. Great movie, though very confusing in ways I can't say without spoiling it. I really enjoy Christopher Nolan's work and I think this may be one of his best (though it's hard to choose).

Most users are stuck at this initial phase (preparing the data).

One thing I'm working now is adding use-case focused guides: short article explaining how a realtor would go about building a model to help them roughly value houses (including data collection). I hope this helps with these two points.

> Help interpreting of whether the MAE / loss is good or bad

There's a couple things I'm working on that might help:
1) Show metric improvement relative to a baseline (e.g. MAE for a model that always predicts the mean).
2) Show both train and test curves. The current curve is only on test data.

> Better understanding of when to use regression vs. classification

> Some sense of how training and validation is done

I'm currently redesigning the UX around a step-by-step flow (for initial users at least), that should give a bit of room to explain things along the way (e.g. what classification/regression means for total beginners).

> Some automatic way to prevent overfitting

Medium-term models there'll be a mode to continuously train models to tune hyperparameters, that should help avoid overfitting. Until then it's mostly handpicked parameters (including regularization), and having tested this on Kaggle challenges it still sometimes beats my hand-written ML code :)

> Model weights

You can already download the model weights (download icon next to the model name) ; or do you mean feature importances? That's a planned feature, but it's not straightforward to implement in a generic way so might take a month or two before it's shipped.

Madden NFL.
I can believe it to be true but so far no evidence has convinced me of that.

> However it is also true that some people will never accept it as being true.

I suspect it is because of the philosophical point I made, but maybe some people are not able to articulate it? E.g. I could accept my practical point to be invalid but that would not invalidate the second point - I just give freedom of choice value in itself. Hence I can tolerate costs that arise because of that.
This is wonderful. I am ordinary joe and I find this more than useful. this is 'the' smartest idea for this stage of machine learning workings. we are there I guess. just push some buttons and get the model than use it why-ever you need it for. simple as that. somebody please take all acedemics away leave the stage for more practical people. I mean of course all academics deserve to be appreciated and we do but it is time for ordinary people. I don't want to understand every tiny detail about how machine learning works.. this tools seem helpful and it is free and it uses the the most convenient tool we have: browser! I say wow.
lol sadly exactly right I'm sure
>That would require them to store password hashes unsalted and using the same hash function & number of rounds as the online dumps of compromised hashes.

Even if you don't have the precomputed hashes, you can still bruteforce using a wordlist.

>Password databases are supposed to encrypted, so without the master password they also won't see see the rest of the hashes in the db to see if they reused the master password. So no, they won't know which passwords are compromised unless there are some absolute design disasters going on.

You don't need access to the database to pull this off, just a wordlist obtained from prior dumps/leaks.

That's what the renting system is built off. The fact that most people only watch a film once.

I couldn't care less about whether I own a copy of a movie. All I care is that I can watch it when I want to watch it. That's a different issue though, not one of disposable income, but of licensing and content availability.

Electronic Arts.
I was looking at Madden NFL 200x games last week specifically the assortment of music (Chamillionaire, Earshot, Slipknot, Green day, etc.) that got me into listening to music in the first place. If it wasn't for those games, I don't think I would have ever gotten into football or listening to music.

Modden NFL helped demonstrate technology really well in a variety of ways that was fun and interesting to people who didn't see the appeal in video games like Pac Man. It was definitely a big contributor to getting more people into electronic interactive content.
