It isn't polished and is more involved but it is well supported both by products for integration and as a project by EU. It has a very flexible API as well. It lacks features paid platforms have like a builtin taxii server but it is like most OSS projects continually evolving and dependent on PRs.

It all depends on your requirements. I have seen industry wide orgs using a spreadsheet for sharing intel. And then you have theatconnect and SOAR's with builtin TIPs.

It's not for everyone but it is a good starting point. It you are trying to figure out how to best operationalize threat intel, use MISP. It will help you define what your requirements are at least. Setting it up and dealing with occasional issues can be a pain but that aisde works smoothly. Once you get it to help you define your threat intel program and pipeline you can decide if something else that costs six figures or is new to the market can get the job done and provides better value.

> I couldn't do this with notebooks as there is a lack of "something" for me that doesn't quite allow me to be as disciplined as I am with the device right now.

I understand this. I prefer notebooks for certain tasks and have some good systems I can use to organize it but having a centralized device is very powerful for maintaing what you call discipline.

> Regarding it being another gizmo by adding news, I think that since I didn't get it for the "disconnection" it doesn't feel like corrupting it. Especially in this format (clean, no images, just information at glance).

Yeah, part of it is the philosophy you bring to it (it's a tool, after all). Also depends on your view of "the news". I have a generally negative view, avoid most of it, so that leads me to having a different outlook.
But that also gives it power... the more people act on a given indicator the more powerful (even predictable) it becomes

So then you end up with this weird catch-22 where the indicator only has value because people are watching it, while it is those people watching it that gives them their power.

They aren't going to be as useful for forecasting the big institutional curbstomps that seem to characterize volatility today, but there are other ways of understanding how those guys behave.
Proof-of-Work as Anonymous Micropayment: Rewarding a Tor Relay [pdf]
French newspapers are a lot more nuanced (some of them at least) because a significant part of the French left is deeply opposed to NATO, distrust and dislike the USA and is sympathetic to the Russian views that NATO eastern extension is a form of aggression and should be stopped.
Pretty sure that’s relatively new and had a hand written parser for most of their history.

This would have been more relevant had Rust existed 30-35 years ago when C++ was ascending to supremacy. As it is, C++ is being pushed further and further into niche use cases and Rust is competing with C++ in those ever-decreasing niche use cases. That was my point in the first place - Rust seems like it's too little, too late. Add Go to the mix and there's even less of a reason to use Rust. It feels like Rust is obsolete before it even got started.
Quite a lot of the philosophical debate has been tied up in the effort to show that minds cannot be the result of purely physical processes or will never be explained as such, which does not tell us anything about what they are.

We are not going to be able to say with any great precision what we are trying to say with the word 'consciousness' until we have more information. In lieu of that, what we can do is say what phenomena seem to be in need of explanations before we can compile a definition.

At this point, opinions that human-level consciousness is either just more of what has been done so far, or cannot possibly be just that, are just opinions.
AI researchers with huge salaries at huge companies are incentivized to hype what tasks machine learning can do while underestimating how centralized power it gives to the companies that have the infrastructure to train huge NNs.

It doesn’t matter whether AI is conscious or not, only whether it’s centralizing or decentralizing power as it gets more powerful than human thinking (even if it’s not conscious).
William Safire's Rules for Writers (1980)
It certainly is propaganda. But it is not that different from any longer piece from a political leader. We should assume that given that it is signed by him, he has been influencial in what it says, even if it is mostly ghost-written, it reflects his views and opinions. Someone like Putin can dictate an article while getting a bath or travelling in his airplane. He does not need to type it into a computer.

I respect it for what it is, something with his name above it published on a Kremlin site. Propaganda is worse when it is hidden or disguised or pretends to be something it is not.
If more and more people know this, it loses power
It's Authoritarianism in disguise.

Co-opt the symbols that are antithetical to your cause and turn them to your own.

It's a tragic and pathetic point of human civilization. People gathering behind a symbol that historically represents the opposite of what they are fighting for whilst totally naive to the irony.

Children who are adults but can't think for themselves like adults so they need a parental figure in the form of authoritarian institutions to tell them what to do because self reliance is just so scary. If they can't think for themselves how could anyone else in the country be mature enough to think for themselves.

This will be contested but to blame the historic "left" and "right" as equally responsible for the erosion of sanity is dishonest. I've been "left" my whole life but this drastic transition to Authoritarianism is firmly the blame of the modern "left". I'm considering adjusting my party alliance in response to this new world order.

because of the "vanishing point" style 3d perspective it's difficult for me to tell relative sizes of things, so I had to frequently resort to counting bricks on the front leg vs the rear leg for extra-dimensional-L pieces; it was more about that than things like chirality. The result was, didn't really feel like a shape matching game to me, felt like a brick counting game. I guess in a certain way I was expecting something that felt more like those "which cube matches this piece of paper folded up" type matches

Also, don't mind being timed to the nth of a second, but I'd prefer a clock that was not so frenetic in my field of vision, just showing seconds would be enough.
What you said and much more.

For example, you buy a burner phone, but the place you bought it from, even if a second hand shop, had a security camera. Maybe they also record IMEI's before selling phones.

Or you carry your burner phone together with your real phone. Or alternatively, you leave one at home when using the other. Both of these things can be linked by a sufficiently determined actor (FBI/NSA level).

Or they track you to using a public square WiFi one day. Again, cameras are everywhere.

If they got your real name, no matter how, it's game over. You will be surveilled and they will find proof to link you. This is why all those posts "if only DPR used this kind of encryption or dead-men-switch" are ridiculous. Once they knew his real name it was just a matter of time and building a case.

Thank you. Totally agree and 100% support scaling, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. The most basic scale would be to go from your knees instead of toes *while maintaining a rigid core* but there's a huge variety of other options too.
Scanning electron micrographs of an Intel i486
On top of that, our security standards have also gotten higher. No one was worried about corrupt spreadsheets causing segfaults in 1995. But today that corrupt spreadsheet is just as likely to be a malicious file from some attacker on the internet, deliberately crafted to exploit the buffer overrun behind that segfault. Any piece of software that might conceivably touch attacker-controlled input needs to be hardened against this sort of thing.

We're also going to be seeing more and more pressure to make things multithreaded. So so much of the old software was designed back when concurrency just wasn't in the picture. That's why PID reuse races are so nasty in child process management. And why anything that touches the environment (which lots of standard libc functions do under the covers: https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2020-0159) is unsound in multithreaded programs. Making everything threadsafe is genuinely hard.

According to Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_emergencies_i...

...in the US, there are ~40 (after counting the green squares twice it seems there are now 41) ongoing "national emergencies" declared since the passage of the "National Emergencies Act" in 1976.

The oldest one seems to be from 1979 and involve sanctions on Iran from the hostage crisis.

Biden has declared five emergencies; Trump declared nine (that haven't ended), Obama also declared nine (again ignoring ones that ended), GWB declared eleven, net, Clinton declared six, net, and surprisingly all emergencies between 1979 and 1994, roughly did come to an end.

Regardless of what one thinks of it, it's curious that for a couple of decades, the norm was for emergencies in the US to end and now it's not.
Actually, to a certain extent, yes, the electricity company is going to report you if you're using too much electricity (this is how pot growers used to be caught), and yes, preventing traffickers from using legitimate banking is absolutely a standard practice, this is literally why money laundering is a thing. Also, if you are stupid enough to get caught money laundering (people will proposition strangers/(young stupid people) and say "cash this money, I'll give you 10%") you'll be blacklisted pretty damn quick - literally penniless teenagers give away their entire future to these scams.
As soon as I saw this post I thought it that podcast. It was quite interesting how we take the alphabet as so fundamental. (And with a surname beginning with "V" I was always frustrated at school at being down the back of the line unless an enlightened teacher occasionally mixed it up)
The zoning laws didn’t change in between. Japan got burned on property speculation, and no one no longer sees residential real estate as much of an investment. Also, no one wants to buy second hand structures, so your appreciation is limited to land and the existing housing on that land is a liability (buyers have to tear it down before building a new house on the land). Japan has a large amount of housing starts because they have a large amount of demolitions. Liberal zoning allows for this, for sure, but I’m not sure many Americans would be willing to go that route.
Yes definately how much you care about dogs/pets.

Everyone cares, but my wife had sworn off children and dogs were here "kids".

Thousands of books. I like having collections of books, like all the Asimov books, or all the 'Simon Black' books for boys. I must admit there are a lot of my books that I have never read, and some that I started but didn't finish.

These days I gravitate towards having them in digital form because that's far less waste of space. Years ago though, all my books were in paper format, mainly paper-back, but quite a lot in hard-cover. I prefer my reference books to remain as a physical book.

Several years ago, I made a conscious effort to replace as many physical books as I could with their digital equivalents. (I also did the same thing with my CDs and DVDs) That probably reduced the space taken up by 'stuff' down to about a quarter of what it had been previously.

Japan definitely has zoning as well, but that wasn’t what we were debating? Just more liberal zoning vs more conservative zoning.

The only areas free of zoning that I know of are slums, shanty towns, and favelas.
Yes, but you need someone with much bananas to build a big factory in order to match the demand.

Mostly it’s just kind of funny because “fight the sea” is sometimes used as a metaphor for futility. And also climate change and sea level rise is a global problem. I do know the Dutch have a lot of experience with this, the phrasing just came off as funny. And I am not under the impression a for profit org would do any better. I just think fighting the sea is going to get very hard by 2100.

> This means, a) the recipient doesn't know whether the signature is from their counterparty because that HMAC signing secret is only loosely/deniably secret, and b) without a counter (another low entropy shared secret or a ratchet), there is no way of knowing whether the signed message you recieve is the "first," one derived from your shared secret.

The HMAC signing key is not publicised until _after_ the recipient first/immediately verifies the signature. (This is practical for chat applications like OTR and Signal, but it would leave a much much wider window open if you tried to implement it for a much lies synchronous communication channel like email.)
Most media here has suggested variously that they are "concerned about Russian influence", that the majority of the funding has come from the United States etc. They're whipping up a new War on Terror (currently funded by US extremists) in order to justify increased police militarization and the use of extra-ordinary and unnecessary measures.

They are saying they cannot deal with the situation normally while simultaneously refusing to meet with the truckers and eschewing ordinary policing for weeks beforehand.

Yanis Varoufakis is onto something with the death of of social democracy and capitalism and their mutation into something new and nasty.

The Datapoint 2200, the source of the 8008 instruction set, is an interesting machine. The CPU was built from TTL chips. To decode instructions, they used decimal BCD decoder chips, specifically the 7442. But they'd use them as octal decoder chips, only using 8 outputs.

The Datapoint 2200 documentation gave the opcodes in octal, so they were clearly thinking in octal. The 8008 documentation, however, didn't use octal or hexadecimal. The opcodes were given in binary, but grouped in 3 bits, octal style, e.g. 10 111 010. (They didn't specify opcodes in octal or hex!) I think the 8008 was right at the time where octal was on the way out and hexadecimal was taking over. (The 8008 assembler manual uses both octal and hexadecimal, but hexadecimal primarily.)

The Intel 8080 still specified the instruction set in binary, not octal or hexadecimal. The 8085 had opcodes in binary in a 1983 manual, but now split with a line into 4-bit chunks (i.e. hexadecimal-style). And then an appendix gave the opcodes in hexadecimal.

(Just some random history.)
> having a centralized device is very powerful for maintaing what you call discipline.

You hit the nail on the head with this. I've got a searchable database of all of my notes and suddenly it feels much less like a waste of time just dumping random stuff into a piece of paper.

> I have a generally negative view, avoid most of it, so that leads me to having a different outlook.

You and me both, but it keeps the mind occupied sometimes and I love reading about new gadgets. World news, economy et cetera not so much.
sending people yearly reports they can accept (since for most cases they are accurate) or send in amendments.

This would be perfect. It doesn't make any sense that my employer, banks, etc has to send everything in, but then I do to.

There seem to be many flaws in this article. The one that stuck out to me was chart showing the "Change in Shoplifting by Geography". Though it says shoplifting is down 40% in SF, this is "decline in shoplifting reports".
If nobody is going to do anything about shoplifting, are shops going to bother reporting it?

Seems to be a severely flawed post.

Note: I don't live in SF, and have no dog in this fight.
You may be interested in "The Storm Before The Calm: America's Discord, the Coming Crisis of the 2020s, and the Triumph Beyond" by George Friedman.

You may not buy the premise, but it is still comforting to read someone predicting "don't worry, this only lasts about a decade" written right before everyone went crazy.
Perhaps this is the point. If you don't have an agreed upon definition of the word, it is not a useful tool. A claim o consciousness, if that claim is meaningless, isn't useful.

But aside from that, there is a lot of philosophy on what consciousness is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness has some of it). And those people, especially philosophers in the crossover of computer systems/intelligence and general philosophy are "experts".
I'm honestly always amazed at people in these threads who say "Oh, well in general this is a public good, so we should be hands off". Sure, the default should be hands off, but if you have enough information to know what youre doing is wrong, you are responsible. It's one thing to say it's a public service, but if you know what you're doing is wrong, you know it's wrong,and in a lot of cases, a lot of effort is put into pretending that you don't know it's wrong even though you know it's wrong.

At the point where your own employees are risking their careers because they know it's wrong. Well... maybe only poor people have moral compasses.
We don't need to it to scale to infinity. It's a weird objection. It's like saying human lifespans can't grow to infinity so we should stop trying to be healthy.

The truth is, humanity can continue to be more productive and efficient for millions more years. We can do more with less like we've been doing for centuries.

For example, the US economy is bigger than ever, yet we emit less carbon than we did 10 years ago, both total and on a per capita basis.
Thanks, and BTW I never asked about why I was downvoted.
People downvote just because they don't like my question because it sounds controversial? It's fine.

Thank you Morozov for enlightening me.
Ah, I replied to myself with more information while you were also replying.

I also surmise that the short length of the words makes a DAWG just very heavy.

It's not clear to me that relative offsets would be notably smaller to the extent that would be needed. Even a hypothetical and cheated DAWG I came up with is ~33% bigger than alternatives. I've generally explored enough (see the paper in my other comment) that I don't feel that further investigations into a DAWG are likely to outperform other methods.

I can't see anything immediately that jumps out that the Crab game is doing that's special to save space, I think it just achieves better compression because you can compress larger files easier, and the words are longer with more overlapping sections.

I agree that you need to compare including the decompressor size, so I'm not sure which approach is better the Huffman trie or the one in the original article. I'm not familiar enough with GB programming to be able to suggest how much program memory would be needed to decode the Huffman Trie, it looks like it would be somewhat similar in complexity.
I think there are actually two different purposes to notebooks: technical, and "emotional".

I now keep notebooks for technical purposes. A note will typically take a page or two. I have a contents page, too, where I list the headings of each page. Contents pages are useful where you have structured information, like in a book. I haven't found them particularly useful in a notebook format, as topics jump around, so you have little idea as to where to look in a table of contents. I do keep an index, though. I'm finding this increasingly important. One twist I've begun adding is to write discursive posts on Wordpress. The notebook contains crucial summarising information, and dates to a blog post where some of the nuances are fleshed out.

There's also value in the more "emotional" aspect of notetaking: basically a diary. I remember that I used to keep a dream diary. Looking back, I realised just how violent my dreams were! They are also fun to look back on, and you can gain insights into your own personality through the broader sweep of time, rather than up close and personal. It can actually be quite interesting.

Less useful, though, is logging the time you brush your teeth.

On the more flippant side ... when I was at university I used to mark on the calendar whenever I took a dump. Being a student, I of course lived in none-too-salubrious circumstances. So I used to like to see if I could stretch things out a little, as it were. Brings a whole new meaning to keeping a log book. Oh, the foibles of human nature.

You should probably forget that I said that.
I came to say this same thing. I have used my Jelly 2 everyday since I got it. At first it was kind of a novelty to me, but now it's just normal. People still comment on it when I use it for Google Pay.
