I think there's a fair bit of microservices in the CNCF space. Cortex is implemented as micro services (and Kubernetes largely is, too)
If OpenAI's code is conscious then it's definitely insane which should make people wonder about what exactly they're saying when they say things like "Neural networks are conscious". AI researchers constantly use words without defining them and then wonder why they're confused about what counts as intelligence and, more generally, consciousness.

In fields like AI there really is no room for confused language like that, it's a mathematical field so no one should be confused about function approximators being conscious or not.
Could you elaborate more on the control mechanisms that supported the outcome of "your machine will often fail to boot, can't be remotely boot-unlocked" for said anti-supported use cases?
Out of interactions with 100,000 people, how many are racist dipshits? 2 or 3?
You'll have another couple dozen "ignorant, but want to hurt or provoke you" that use racist slurs. There's a difference between ignorant behavior and racist beliefs. Hurtful language in a brief confrontation is an insufficient criteria to identify "real" racism unless you're radically changing the meaning of the word.

Getting called a name is a reason to look for racism, but it's more likely to be the result of testosterone fueled heat of the moment stupidity than a belief about people based on the color of their skin.

An astonishingly large proportion of people in the US are decent, fair dealing, hero of their own story, regular old homo sapiens. Get rid of the political noise and we have an overly civil and decent society literally unmatched in history in its liberal and tolerant values. There are boomer holdouts that aren't on board with sex stuff, some racist clusters with objectively racist beliefs, but the rainbow coalition and civil rights activists have won those battles in the culture war.

There are fewer than 9000 kkk members left in the US, down from millions at their peak. There's a couple or 5 times more neonazis. (There's some probably unconstitutional ongoing surveillance of extremists by the fbi and nsa resulting in good yearly reporting that congress and the public and activist groups tolerate, I guess because fuck those people.)

It's not that there isn't room for improvement, that there aren't objectively bad things that we need to resolve. I don't want to trivialize the remaining challenges we face in making society better.

I just think it's a good idea to recognize that what's apparently happening at this Tesla plant is extremely unusual. If it's a bad as alleged, it needs to be overhauled aggressively, and the person or people that brought about the cluster of racists needs to be kicked to the curb.
Makes me feel less bad about being so bored watching Raised By Wolves, as I was expecting an epic TV show on par with the exploration of the Aliens universe.
I think they mean they rented/bought Dune to watch, via YouTube's movie platform[1]. The host of the Microsoft Teams video meeting then likely shared their view of the YouTube screen (I don't know how it works in MS Teams, but, for example, I know Jitsi allows a meeting participant to embed a YouTube video for all to watch+listen to. It's surprisingly good quality)

I think you’re right. Fifteen years ago would have been the right time to disable macros by default. Now, we have the technology to sandbox everything to largely mitigate security concerns.

However, sandboxing is a much higher investment from MS’ POV. This feels like they’re making this move specifically to distract from the fact that they should have made the tech investment into sandboxing today.
Wait, a company is raising pressure in response to market conditions instead of complaining about people being unwilling to work?

I'm not advocating for no consequences. I'm advocating for no pre-consequences.

And yes, sometimes kids get away with things if they aren't monitored 24/7. They're supposed to. Figuring out the boundaries of attempting that, and dealing with the consequences when you fail, is a very important lesson for children.

I appreciate how direct and clear what this library does and who it is for. I have no need for it now, but after 1 paragraph of reading I’ll be remembering its name for later.
Yeah. I took my partners dog for the afternoon. It has an airtag (not an official supported use). I knew the dog had it but there was some comment made about our walk. Monitoring by proxy.

We have a tracking collar for our dog. The actual tracker is around 1" x 2", and gives realtime reports via the cell network. it would be easy to use it to track a spouse or car or whatever.
I wonder if increasing public acceptance of gays is helping as well. Maybe in the past, you were kind of forced into the 'gay club'/promiscuous sex subgroup, even if you were just looking for a longterm monogamous relationship, because there just weren't many places to meet potential partners.

The internet has made it very easy for people to homogenize both words and ideas very rapidly. This is the cost of making knowledge universal I guess. Maybe it’s a good thing if it allows us to progress all on the same page rather than taking the time to understand differences? If progress is good. Whatever progress is. Who knows. Although the ideas aren’t really homogenizing in a lot of cases, it is often causing dichotomies. But really it’s no more than a few factions that reinforce their homogenizations. Ok I guess it’s bad… I am rambling as much as that essay. You have increased your follow count to 6 now, good show.

As someone who absolutely hates Crypto:

It's basically a way around currency controls/trade/monetary restrictions in countries like Iran, Zimbabwe, Russia, China, and other problematic or failed states.

You can literally convert your local currency into energy to run your mining rig and create a fungible pseudo-currency that can be transferred to family/friends elsewhere and directly into dollars.

So there is always going to be a legitimate use for Crypto until it is banned. Even if its stupid speculative environment-destroying crypto-bro idiocy, there is a constant demand for it in these developing/failed state/evil regime states.

Just because the Iranian Rial is 0.000024 dollars on google, doesn't mean Iranians can actually get anywhere near that exchange rate in reality due to state controls. So while 1 Dollar = 42250.00 Rials right now, I know people who can't convert to dollars for less than 125,000 Rials, and typically 200,000 or more.
I’ve wondered, instead of betting on “truth” why not bet on the outcome of a webscraping query, where the code is open source?

Example, I publish some code that scrapes the outcome of an upcoming sports game. It returns a True/False payload.

Bettors can examine my source code and see the exact time when it will be run. They can then place their bet on the code itself.

Sure the code could point to a bad actor and someone could pull the rug, but you could also take the consensus result from a few trusted sources, e.g. Google sports, ESPN, etc.
Your comment is a bit ironic in the sense that I can tell you didn't read the article because you reproduce conclusions from the article. That's okay! Obviously you didn't need to read it to know what I would have said. :)

Let me quote from the end:

"Another argument against connecting distance and diversity is that distance is on a long running decline from 1900 even for the first four decades while diversity words were basically flat. When diversity words pop in the 90's there isn't an immediate reaction in cosine distance, it's only about a decade later, in 2000, that cosine distance takes a steep drop."

That seems awfully similar to the two points you've raised here.

What I do find a bit distasteful is that you jump in with "your diversity hypothesis is bunk" and accuse me of trying to fit a narrative - without even reading what you're commenting on.
CppCon 2019: Andrei Alexandrescu “Speed Is Found in the Minds of People“
Even if the estimates are off by a lot, your point is still pretty clear. This is that bias talked about with covid, right? What’s the name again? Where “more vaccinated people have covid” doesn’t mean what some suggest when most people are vaccinated.
We know the Japanese forces outside of Japan would have surrendered if there was a peace treaty, because that's what happened. That would be the purpose of a peace treaty (and exchange of prisoners, etc.).

If the USSR decided to invade Japan on its own, who cares? We could let them fight. Or we could ally with Japan.
This a personal opinion, but I think the most interesting thing in the Blade Runner universe aren't even Replicants.

We know Replicants are used for space travel and colony labor, and we also know Earth is overpopulated and mostly stripped of resources. I want to see more of this dynamic, space exploration, life in the colonies, what politics are like on a dying planet. Who the other big evil corporations are. How does space travel work? Who owns it? What do colonies produce? Etc.

2049 had a nice story, but it pales in comparison to what's potentially available in such a rich and deep set universe.
How about burning down businesses?
> Rogan is merely a figurehead for the larger demand: liberals have decided that they and they alone will determine the free flow of ideas. That this is contrary to ideals that they themselves embraced a mere decade ago, and that some of us have not forgotten, is immaterial.

As much as I want to work there, they're also responsible for peddling the pile of shit like treasure chests, unlock keys and "trading cards" which I find extremely repulsive.
I think we need to seriously consider mandatory HIV screening with health pass technology at bars and restaurants. We’ve got a good framework from Covid and we can use that technology to force everyone to get an HIV test. The vast majority of new infections are caused by people who don’t know their status so I think it’s a no brainer to require this of anyone who wants to eat at a restaurant or bar or even purchase non essential goods. We owe it to the people who go to restaurants on dates with people who don’t know their status. Maybe also require the HIV test pass to enroll your kids in school.
ISPC has some support for this using the "soa<>" qualifier. For example,

struct Point { float x, y, z; };
soa<8> Point pts[...];
for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
pts[i].x + pts[i].y
}

behaves as if originally written like

struct Point { float x[8], y[8], z[8]; };
Point pts;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
pts.x[i] + pts.y[i];
}

See https://ispc.github.io/ispc.html#structure-of-array-types

I've not yet had an excuse to use ISPC myself, unfortunately :(
That's a good tip, I've been really disappointed in our Sense's ability to detect anything correctly. It's detected 9 heating devices so far. I suspect that our variable speed heat pump is hard for it to figure out reliably.

I ordered the additional sensor that I'll use for the heat pump and one more circuit and see if it does any better, if not, the Emporia seems reasonably priced for as many sensors as it has.
> such as a real Unix shell with native code compilers

??? macOS does have a real Unix shell. It’s called zsh. And it’s not that hard to get whatever compilers you want.

Shells are not the entire UNIX environment, they’re just one part of it. (And I don’t think you meant it this way, but please don’t say it’s not a “Unix shell” because it doesn’t have GNU extensions.)
> Microsoft takes these kinds of vulnerabilities (...) seriously.

Sorry, CVE database disagrees with you when looking at the statistics of how often RCE macro loopholes are found in embedded VBA APIs inside spreadsheets.

Some examples:

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=Excel

From those 439 around ~350 are _remote_ execution exploits with their own CVE ID, meaning another VBA API or programming paradigm was affected and downloaded and executed code remotely without the user noticing.

I'd argue that "taking this seriously" is the opposite of the sheer amount of those CVE IDs.

And these are only the vulnerabilities we publicly know of, there are far worse VBA exploits being traded on dark markets.

The reason why Microsoft took so long to deprecate these VBA APIs is that large enterprise-grade organizations do almost everything in Excel. From querying a database server to storing a financial report remotely on a mounted net share drive to even including another external file for the inclusion of modules or methods. It really makes you wannacry.
California sues Tesla, saying it permitted racial discrimination at its factory
My father did something like this. He wasn’t even trying to teach us a lesson or anything. We had gone back to his hometown to see some relatives and we took a drive around. He told us all those stories you mentioned above. It did not make me think about being safer. It just made me think, “Wow, now I know why my father is such a @#$% downer all the time. Note to self: Dad is broken, don’t take anything he says seriously.” So be careful how you present it because your kids’ thought process is not the same as yours.
Sure, I said nothing to the contrary. It's a minor simplification to call it a reverse proxy. The proxy is built upon a very deep investment in infrastructure, take all of the cert signing stuff, for example.

Most BeyondCorp concepts seem simple, and they are, but they depend on a lot of existing machinery, almost all of which is non-existent in pre-existing corp networks. The average tech company is currently struggling to catch up.
The Internals of PostgreSQL: Chapter 3 Query Processing
Forgive me, I'm new to this - but wouldn't the mitigation status also depend on the distribution?

It doesn't paint AMD in any better of a light, but it may not be so dire.

The distributions at the top don't usually run a mainstream [vanilla] kernel. Consequently, neither do their children/derivatives.

For example, the kernel configs for my distribution (Fedora 35) show it as enabled - unless I'm missing some further step:

$ zgrep CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISO /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y

I ask and remain somewhat curious partly because I don't see the messages in the ring buffer I'd expect

What would they do when it inevitably breaks? Google won't bail them out on this one. What if there's a security issue with the server, are they going to have it up to date? Are they going to cry wolf online about how this ancient editor doesn't work for them? I understand some may want those poor souls locked into vscode to see the light, but this isn't the right way to do it. Emacs is great because it's rock-solid and incentivizes good practices, this is the complete opposite.
>Fecal incontinence was defined as the loss of liquid, solid, or mucus stool occurring at least monthly on a validated questionnaire.

This seems highly ambiguous. Does this include bad accidental farts? I wish we could see what the respondents were given to define FI. Seems to be self-reported too so it’s even less reliable.

As a PhD student alongside Matt, it’s not any intern. Ph.D. internships are much more scoped to specific lines of work and are a way to potentially fund promising researchers for the long term.

> i just wish it had a feature that alerted the you whenever someone used it to locate one of your devices.

I’m shocked that the very security-minded Apple doesn’t do this. I shared my location indefinitely with my wife and was shocked that I didn’t get a notification when she was tracking me. How is this not an option for the indefinite location share?

> The airtag/tile makes this much harder, perhaps the airtag should loudly beep or notify nearby devices whenever it's being actively located.

AirTags do have a feature like this. If an AirTag is detected on your person, it will make an alarm sound. Basically they can’t be carried near a device that isn’t their owner’s device for long without sounding an alarm.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the movie Baron was much more threatening. We only see a little glimpse of what he's like, but what we see is terrifying, and our imagination feels the gaps.

I'm reading the book again recently - I had forgotten that we actually get to see what the Baron is thinking, and when it happens, he looks almost human, like an executive in an evil corporation - like weighing about his potential successors, ranting about the cost of the war, or fretting over how the Sardaukar may see him as incompetent.
Enough is enough!
As far as I was able to tell, the system didn't know which NIC it should be routing through. So it would sit at the disk encryption screen and you wouldn't be able to remote unlock it. And you don't have access to the building to go in and do it in person. Or if you successfully cleared that, the OS also rolled the dice to let you authenticate. Rebooting was painful, typically taking 5-15 minutes. And if you tried to edit configurations to try and load the dice, puppet would overwrite them. Tickets seeking help were mostly ignored, citing that dual NIC was explicitly not supported.
It's ethically dubious because solar or wind power wasn't an option in the 50s-70s. So you're effectively gating the majority of the world off from nuclear power, enjoyed by developed economies. Which would have developed economies of scale (see: France) with the end result of developed countries having access to cheaper power than developing ones.

And I'm confused. Your reasoning around why more reactors wouldn't have increased nuclear weapon proliferation was contingent on only the US, USSR, Britain, and Germany (and presumably countries like them, to an approximation) having more reactors.

Either you get to say that (a) all countries, or (b) only "responsible" (for lack of a better word) countries should have used more nuclear power.

If (a), then you have increased proliferation risk. If (b), then you're establishing (and presumably militarily enforcing) a two-tier ability to access cheap energy, that favors developed nations.
Inclined to agree, but I feel it's potentially dangerous to think these are actually distinct populations.

Plenty of HIV+ "hetero" folks are hiding their homosexual activities, for myriad obvious reasons, i.e. the stats probably aren't accurate.

Don't assume you're particularly well insulated because you think you're playing bareback in the non-gay pool. Plenty of folks are pissing in all the pools, there are no boundaries.
Yeah, but what if I want indefinite sharing (like with my wife) but would also like to be notified when I’m being tracked? That should definitely be an option. It should really be the default…

Right now it’s way too damn easy to ask to borrow someone’s phone, then share their location with you indefinitely, and have that person not notice that you’re able to track them until the next time they use FindMy. There are probably a huge percentage of users that almost NEVER open the FindMy app. It’s a glaring security and safety omission from Apple.
Sure also it should be a condition of employment for all government workers and osha should mandate testing because it’s a hazard if you get cut and bleed. We need a presidential order to make it happen. I’m with her! Again!

We are here having an argument about whether doing this is improper social etiquette and whether it is theft. Then jiro assumes that it is and uses that conclusion to use a condescending tone to compare me to shoplifters and lecture me on what "I'm supposed to be willing to accept" "in our world", calling me names such as "internet literalist".

There is nothing further to be said. This is no longer an argument. We disagree, and that's fine, you don't have to be rude about it.

I receive emails every week from AWS and others offering me to join this and that team, this and that "confidential project", asking me to call them or send a CV on every email I use on GitHub, PyPI, or HN.

For your own information, I have never done it, to date.
"The fall in diagnoses among gay and bisexual men is a result of the growing availability of HIV prevention pill PrEP and targeted promotion of routine HIV testing followed by the rapid initiation of HIV treatment for those diagnosed, meaning they are more quickly virally suppressed and cannot pass on HIV."
