He still seems to forget about it anytime he's "very confident [random bold claim] is 1 year away" though.
Fair point, I can't edit my comment.

My metric though is this: Someone has admin level access to full root on control plane and does things to customer accounts they don't want. A customer complains that the control plane has been used to reset things / asks for logs / etc.

That's your opportunity to identify a root level control plane hack, disclose it, do the password reset things, remediate and move forward.

OR - You don't disclose things till much later, you deny things, you provide scrubbed logs. Add in the bitcoin angle where this type of story is pretty common (trusted entity runs away with coins because they are easy to steal) - and couple that with how they handled the reports -> as I said in my comment, I'd be careful putting sensitive info onto that platform.

Quake 3, 800x600 at 120 fps. It was glorious. My current 180 Hz IPS is ok but CRT displays excel at lower resolutions and high refresh rates.

The big problem with Starship right now looks to be the heat tiles - I don't think they've had a single test where they haven't had some pop off, and I'd be willing to bet the internal redesign that was announced is to stiffen up the hill to deal with flex (since it seems to be trading a little of internal diameter to do it - willing to bet that's too deepen some bracing members).
That’s really good. Thanks again.

Someone ran some scenarios and identified some specific gaps in what they had on hand to respond to those scenarios.
Domesticated is such a lovely word. Cattle are domesticated, but you really don't want cattle and pigs inside the house and in fact, the "mini pig" movement has wreaked havoc on many a TV living-room couch.

The degree of flexibility in gene expression in dogs and dog-related creatures must play some part in this, to be able to shift behaviour inter-generationally so strongly. But I couldn't see a single instance of the word "epigenetics" in the wiki article. Hormone expression in female foxes might be one of those "if the switch doesn't turn off, it stays on" things, or "once the switch has turned off it can't turn on again" things, so that behaviour in early childhood preserves an open door which in the wild would shut off. You wouldn't need an epigenetic effect to achieve that if the swich behaviour is latent in the gene expression as-is, maybe over 1000 years it moves to favour a different state of hormesis/homeostasis (probably mis-using one, or both terms)

Also take note of the "breeding for aggression" side of the story. We do this all the time with pit-bull terriers and German Shephards and Rottweilers.
Question, Why encryption after quic. Well I know that quic 8s not adopted yet. But let's say if it does do we need the encryption provided inside webrtc. And whouldn't that be redundant. Spatially considering the whole point of RTC is to get a stream of data from one point to other as fast as possible.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this while I was traveling and would come across large numbers of people who are in really niche communities and the math didn't make sense to me. The obvious answer in reteospect is that the world is huge and a tiny percentage of people doing anything equals a large number of people. If 1 in 10,000 Americans are doing this that's still a huge group.

I'm not saying it makes anything better, I'm saying that Google has always been able to return results that don't include the search terms, that's why the '+' force inclusion operator existed. It is not a new phenomena for Google to return results that don't contain keywords, since one of the defining features of Google vs Excite/Lycos/AltaVista et al is that it wasn't a simple TFIDF (textual frequency inverse document frequency) search, many of the older search engines used a variant of that. PageRank, even in Google 1.0, probably allowed a very low ranked TFIDF result (doesn't include most of the query) to be boosted, although I'm just speculating.

I'm just saying, in the same theme of my original 'young whippersnappers' post, that a lot of things people are saying is new behavior is in fact, old behavior with a different UX.

I think that Google Maps and GMail are also "dying". Google Maps has gotten very bad at picking an optimal route in the past year. GMail spam filtering is becoming worse. I think that Google and perhaps even Alphabet are putting resources into markets that they think will reap benefits in the future, and letting the areas where they have a dominant position run on autopilot.

I have faith that a bunch of self interested scientists will happily gleefully point out the flaws in other scientists arguments and shoot them down. And that doing so repeatedly with just one agreed rule - the rule is that experimental results are the only, final arbiter in the dispute. Experiment says your idea is wrong it's wrong.

Of course scientists are not perfect truth seeking missiles - but the incentive structure i science and engineering (pace lysenko) is setup so that what works works abs everything else can take a hike.

An "expert consensus" in scientific terms is for example evolution - a theory that the most intelligent argumentative minds of ten generations has been unable to tear down. Not every scientific or engineering axiom is so robust but hells bells that sort of thing is worth putting my "faith" into.

Yes politics intrudes, but if the last two years has taught us anything it's that politicians standing against experimental outcomes are just like King Canute - the experimental results will simply overwhelm them.

And I honestly have no faith that our brains have evolved to spot other apes lying to us sufficently well that people can do much better than chance even face to face in the same room. Thinking we can spot lies across billboards, tv ads, trade routes seems a bit much.

We can however rationalise incentives - and I suspect you are thinking spotting other peoples incentives is spotting lies. it's usually correlated!
I made a platform where you can intro yourself to your city
I often face the challenge of not being motivated to spend time socializing at meetups and online groups (yes I am a bit lazy when it comes to socializing) which results in me not being well connected with other people where I live that I actually really want to know. So I thought, why not just leave an introduction of myself posted up in my city for other people to find. This platform is that.

The headline is nonsense. Several governments, including the US, have pressured YouTube and others to remove covid misinformation. This is a classic constitutional work around, where you get the industry to censor stuff for you, when a censorship law might not hold up in court. The movie and comic book industries were big examples of this in the US.

She's just asking them to actually pass a law, and make clear rules:

OK, let me be more clear: The gating factor is FAA clearance, but it's not a delay yet.

More specifically: Nominal date for FAA clearance is X. Actual clearance will be >X (these agencies are never complete early; it's already been delayed twice). SpaceX readiness date will be <= X. Therefore FAA clearance is the program bottleneck.

The way we know for sure that neutrinos have mass is because we know they oscillate between flavours, and in order for them to be capable of undergoing any type of change they must have a mass, because anything without a mass can only travel at the speed of light, and anything travelling at the speed of light has no experience of time and can therefor never undergone any type of change.

Bandwidth isn’t the only constraint. You also have latency, finite write cycles, a minimum number of bytes that need to be rewritten at once. Also SSDs get those speeds by having onboard DRAM caches. That may not be the speed of the flash memory

I always thought that the standard model as a set of equations (a model) that fits observed data, without venturing far into “why this model is the governing principle for our universe”. That is, it is not able to explain things like “why an electron comes with two heavier varieties”.

To explain that I need to explain symmetry breaking.

Consider a pencil. The equations for a balanced pencil are completely symmetric with the point of symmetry being balanced on its tip. However an actual pencil is never to be found balanced on its tip it is always lying on a side. Therefore a perfectly symmetric theory may describe a real world situation which is not in the least symmetric.

The Standard Model is exactly such a theory. It is in principle completely symmetric, and there is no particular reason in it why an electron would weigh less than a proton rather than more. However it posits a number of free parameters, whose actual values are set by fields, which are therefore fixed throughout the observable universe. Each field is carried by a particle. And we've found all of those particles for the Standard Model, thereby confirming the existence of the fields. And our measurements of the properties of those particles reveals the values of the free parameters, and our theory gets better.

How many parameters? As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation_of_th... says, the traditional Standard Model has 19 parameters which we've measured. Thus while the theory itself says nothing about why the electron would have 2 heavier varieties, it does say that there should be 3 varieties on that particle, and the measured parameter values say what the masses are very precisely.

Proposals to include the complexities of the neutrino add another 7 parameters which we've so far not managed to measure. But we're working on it.

Well, it could still be spam, just that is very closely resembles non-spam, but the end result is you didn't get the information you were looking for, just something that was closed to it, but misinformation.

Imagine you're searching for vaccine information. GPT-3 generated spam provides pages that highly look like authentic NIH medical reports and expert opinion, only every piece of factual data was replaced with the spammer's product (let's say a competing Pharma vaccine that is less effective)

Search engines are not arbiters of truth, they can only approximate it via consensus knowledge, and if consensus is distorted by vast amount of spam, well, there's a problem.

Think of it like a blockchain ledger. If someone steals more than 50% of the hashing power, than all bets are off. Well if someone steals a non-trivial amount of a subject area with spam, than consensus algorithms break down, and the 'ledger' for that subject looks to be weighed towards the spammer.
I don't want to get too off-topic, but personally I can promise you we will never sell to Google. This problem is very personal. As well as being a programmer, I used to work as a journalist, and I've seen friends in media have their lives and businesses destroyed by Google's ad-tech. And I've seen the Internet turn from a wonderful thing to become a cesspool of content farms, clickbait and seo spam. I can't speak for other search startups, but we will never run ads or use ad-tech or sell user data or invade people's privacy. We're just two people. But we're two people on a mission.
Thought experiment: What would have happened if the hackers had distributed the funds among millions of wallets held by regular people - including wallets owned by police officers, judges and other government officials? Would it be possible/feasible to confiscate the illicitly acquired funds? Would people even want that after receiving a bribe they couldn't technically refuse?
I think that example breaks down for the laymen understanding of a transaction, since the robber is a different party than who gave the coins in the first place.

What if an employer paid you in coins, so you take your coins and go home, then tomorrow your employer decides to take back the coins they gave you since they were not happy with your work (or they're just jerks)? I think that would fit the layman understanding of "this was undone!" (i.e. the transaction wasn't final). If in this case, the underlying financial engines used two, none, or one transaction (as specifically defined by that engine), probably wouldn't matter to the one who no longer has their coins.

- This libertarian think tank, to a degree, is just making stuff up, and somehow the Nordics win here, as well.

This is fantastic. Projects like this lift me up:

a one-woman operation that has been running for over eight years. I format every single ebook myself, as well as maintaining the website. This is a passion project that was born from a love for reading and a commitment to make free ebooks that look good and feel enjoyable to read.

I use sources such as Project Gutenberg, Archive.org, and sometimes my own book collections. These texts serve as a foundation, and then public domain artwork is added to create a cover. Next comes editing and formatting for digital devices - either PDF, epub, or Kindle format. And voila, the process is complete.

They don't even have ads!
A common scenario where this approach fails: applying physics in realtime cross platform games. The floating point math involved is pretty much impossible to guarantee same results for. Deterministic physics engines do exist but they generally only guarantee determinism on the same OS/platform.
It is crazy how much rates have fallen. But the historical average for mortgage rates has been around 5-7%. The 70s in particular had very bad inflation that was pretty abnormal relative to history.

Also important to note that rate only matters in the context of price. Rates by themselves don't provide you much info. e.g. 0% on 10 million is still expensive, just as 1000% rate on 1 dollar is pretty cheap
Interesting, my anecdotes come from other people IRL... Not sure why there is this inconsistency, perhaps it depends on the type of issue.
That’s just Spotify. Many years ago they had a little tool that actually reported what demographic slots it pegged you at based on your listening preferences. The top two hits for me were 1.) early 20s, college educated, White, woman 2.) 60+, blue collar, African American, male

At the time I was a late 20s, college educated, South Asian male. I’m very cis and very straight. And yeah my musical tastes are pretty eclectic, but that was a weird profile to settle me on.
The issue is that your measurement can be below the real value. Therefore you can measure something slightly below even if the real value is somewhat above.

That is 0.199 eV could be measured even if the actual mass was 0.35 eV.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what they mean by sensitivity.
To play devil's advocate, this is a thing that could have said various times in the past 12 years as each previous peak look like "the bubble that you missed out on".

Also, financial instruments work differently from physical assets; if you have conviction that the peak has already happened ("the bubble happened, and there won't be another one"), you can take a bet against the price by shorting.

Of course, this leads to very different kinds of market dynamics which aren't directly comparable to the beanie baby bubble. Too much pressure on the short or (with leverage) long side can lead to liquidation cascades which result in very dramatic price movement. On the short side this would look like a short squeeze as a large fund can buy a bunch of the crypto to liquidate shorts, then sell it after the market moves at a profit.
I read his Holidays in Hell when it first came out and it had me convulsed with laughter. International travel was still fresh to me and he seemed to do a perfect job of highlighting the oddities of some cultures I had experienced.

Coming back to the book recently, I found it sophomoric and annoying. Does that mean I've become more sophisticated and empathetic or just lost my sense of humor? I don't know.
His approach is a great example of how these devices have affected IRL interaction. They’ve significantly reduced them. Whether that’s good bad or neutral, who knows?
Just look up posts about people getting banned from reddit on Twitter or on black hat forums. There are tons of people complaining about it.

The thing about users getting entirely banned from a platform is that they aren't able to complain anywhere near to the forum about unfairness. It's all done in stealth.

Platform algorithms now often do a lot to keep dissent about platforms themselves and partner companies out of sight. It's pretty crazy how companies that publicly advocate equality and fairness serve to undermine speech when it's about their business.
