I feel like you're trying to force a very specific wording, "expectation of privacy", that doesn't fit very well with what I'm trying to describe, because in different contexts there can be different definitions/interpretations/kinds of "privacy".

For example, if one is driving down a public street, obviously one does not have an expectation of "privacy" in the traditional sense.

If everyone driving down a public street is checked, without probable cause, to make sure they aren't violating any laws, I think that should be an unconstitutional search.

Obviously that isn't an unconstitutional search under current interpretations of laws, but I think it ought to be.
Running your own email server. Receiving email is easier since mail routing and spam filtering has matured. But sending email is now hard with authenticating yourself everywhere and making sure you are not blocked by the big providers.

I'd also say that even with letsencrypt it is harder to setup a web server than 10 years ago when you didn't need https at all.
mdasen has already pointed out that "2x" seems to overstate the difference by quite a bit. YARP also has a spikier max latency, which I'd expect for a GC'ed language.

I don't see a way to choose the benchmarking platform in the PowerBI dashboard, so I assume all these numbers were collected on Windows. In that case, it doesn't surprise me that YARP is faster: Envoy uses libevent for cross-platform I/O, but libevent is relatively slow on Windows. It exposes Windows-native I/O completion ports as a BSD-style socket API, and the implementation is both inherently somewhat slow and pushes buffering concerns into the Envoy code. Kestrel, YARP's underlying webserver, uses libuv instead. libuv is more actively developed (because of Node.js) and takes the opposite approach, exposing an IOCP-like API even on POSIX systems. Basically, YARP's I/O model is much closer to Windows' native model. This Envoy issue[0] is really informative if you're interested in the details.

More broadly, the .NET team that builds the Kestrel webserver and contributes to YARP and gRPC is full of performance heavyweights. I'd start by assuming that the benchmarks for their projects are thoughtfully designed. Everyone makes mistakes, but start by assuming that James Newton-King, David Fowler, and their peers are brilliant engineers leading a talented team - because they are.

I say all this as someone who doesn't particularly love Windows as a development environment, .NET as a language, or Microsoft as a company (quit after just 6 months). Credit where credit's due.

This is not breaking an API or the implementation. It is not a refinement. This is a change to the language itself. If you had a published standard it would be a change and not an addition.
Truth be told this has been happening for several decades now:

> The great American pacifier is our love of stuff and our ability to fashion our own insular worlds through our staggering selection of things to buy (even if we can't actually afford an SUV). But consumer America is different from political America. In consumer America, diversity of preference is not just tolerated. It is mandatory. [...] You make your choices, and I make mine. Yours, of course, are wrong. But what do I care?

> Patching together customized networks of pundits, political comics, online news feeds and talk shows, we can choose among universes in which the polls show a dead heat or a blowout, the National Guard memos are truthful or fraudulent, the economy is rebounding or relapsing. You can watch Fox News and see your surrogate reduce my surrogate to a sputtering fool. I can go to my favorite political sites and follow the blogrolls, link after link, discovering how vast is the universe of people who realize that I am entirely right about everything. This virtual self-gerrymandering promotes black-and-white thinking. [...] You know that my naive ideas will lead America to crumble like Rome, and I know that morons like you are going to get me killed by a dirty bomb, but we never need to actually say a cross word to each other. Or anything at all, for that matter.

It's hard to say when it all started, and you could probably say it's been going on in this country since the Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists (or the Tories vs. Patriots, even). But growing up extremely online during the War of Terror, none of this is different to me in kind, only quantity.

Trump has what could be charitably described as a casual relationship with the truth, so one wonders if the name of this network is masterful trolling or breathtaking ignorance.
The "OpenSea" in the title is borderline clickbait. It was a phishing attack on users, not on OpenSea.

As someone has said on Twitter [1], blaming OpenSea is easy (and drives clicks), but wallet providers should be doing a lot more to protect users.

It might be a good time to take a vacation. If there isn't a lot of pressure for deadlines. Some time off can give you more perspective.

It seems like you are lethargic because the role is easy for you. If you like the place, and you want to develop your career there, then ask your boss, what you could work on to create a bigger impact. You might find that there is more opportunity for you there after all.

If that doesn't interest you, then you can coast for a while. That's fine too. Eventually, you'll probably get bored with this, and then you'll find another job with a more interesting role.
Yes, that's "full disclosure."
Aside from Tor Browser, Firefox with arkenfox/user.js is ideal for privacy [1].

Chromium-based browsers like Brave are ideal for security [2].

An ideal solution for privacy and security would be running Firefox+user.js in Qubes OS [3], or for even more anonymity, Tor Browser in Qubes-Whonix [4]. However, even this isn't bulletproof, and a 3 letter agency can still determine who you are with techniques like keystroke deanonymization [5] or other techniques [6] like traffic analysis. Tor is also not reliable for anonymity because the project is kind of a shitshow [7], so there's really nothing you can do to truly hide.

I take this at face value but it would be nice to know what the benefits are vs nginx and other off the shelf solutions.

The original Netflix prize also, it turned out, wasn't really implemented for a number of reasons. But one of them was apparently that Netflix doesn't necessarily want to give you the best recommendations; it wants you to keep your subscription. There's certainly some overlap between those objectives but they're not the same thing.
Reading the article, I'm not seeing much info on how the results were 7 months old in terms of brain development. At that age, one would expect brain development to improve. I hope the researchers discuss this in more detail in future news.
How does this compare to nginx? Does it support websockets? I have an asp.net core websocket based app that need to support hundred of thousands concurrent websockets connection. I ll be taking a look at this because I don't wanna expose Kestrel directly to the internet.

Part of the problem is that it's not necessarily quality going down, but the fact that quality itself is often defined by the amplitude of the shared experience. If thousands of people share the same art, then it's considered of great quality - even if it was just, say, a few white kids coopting some black music. When supply volume makes it fundamentally very hard to build such a shared experience, then it becomes difficult to recognise greatness in a (relatively) objective way.

It's the same for all art, as you say, starting from the figurative ones - the world has probably produced more professional painters in the last 150 years than in the whole history of the world, but among modern and contemporary works, almost nothing can really hold a candle to Michelangelo. Because there used to be one Sistine Chapel in the world, and now we're drowning in imagery every minute of our lives.

hmm, I am not sure this is a fair assessment, the portion on "Experts largely agree that current forms of AI are not conscious, in any sense of the word. " provides sources and a brief argument. Sure it's not a super long defense of the stance, but then again this is mostly an overview of what happened with all this twitter drama and not a full argument about this topic.

Also, it outright states "Granted, the claim could also be reasonable, if a particular definition of consciousness was specified as well."

I can't interpret the author's intent, but I think they're trying to point out a conflict between how Intel and most other references document the x86 opcode byte (as a byte table, with no clear coordinate relation between bits) versus how the byte is structured internally (around octal values, which would reveal a coordinate relationship if visualized).
There's a big difference between build-time and runtime dependencies. It doesn't matter what you use in your build environment, so yes, I do use TypeScript in my own web projects. It does matter a lot what you leave in your final product, so I'm never using react or any other JS frameworks.

I also use Java for my backend because not having to manage memory manually is worth of the small performance tradeoff.
To be "conscious" in the sense that we generally understand it, any AI would need, at minimum, two things that are not commonly part of it.

First, it needs to be continuously active and taking data input.

Second, and closely related, it needs to be continuously learning.

The neural nets we use today, in the main, are trained in one big lump, then fed discrete chunks of data to process. The neural nets themselves exist simply as static data on a disk somewhere. Some, I believe, have multiple training stages, but that's not at all the same thing as true continuity.

I'm sure there are other aspects to being conscious, but I suspect that some of them, at least, are emergent behaviours, and I further suspect that they are mostly or all dependent upon these two.
It’s easy to just guess a few times and get it right. At least wrong guesses should have time penalty.
The fault is not with the domains or the publishers, but with the authentication used and not looking ahead beyond the 'happy path' of setting things up and making them work initially. That's the easy part. The hard part is to think through to the long term consequences of all those choices.
You have acknowledged that there are valid academic criticisms of IIT, and for those wanting to get an idea of what those might be, a good place to start is with Scott Aaronson's responses in his blog: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=1799

Note that the issue that you are concerned with here and the usefulness of IIT are separate concerns, and critics like Aaronson are not taking that position on the basis of the attitudes you claim are behind many 'lay' critiques.
There's nothing in the article to suggest that they didn't do the due diligence; do you have access to some information about that that isn't in the article?
I have a system that randomly show "cards" of notes that are less than 150 words. I don't reference them often, but I often end up doing deeper analysis of information behind the notes all the time.

Or just linking them into big trees of cards like a wiki.

There are time when I search for information only to realize that they are already in my notes already.
Now joke aside, it had been informative to read about the recent developments in the region from both Western and Russian sources. For instance this report (https://tass.com/world/1406503) about a declaration from the EU (!) from Tass was interesting and painted a more nuanced picture of what's happening there. I failed to see this report mentioned in my other regular Western news feed. US, UK or french newspapers all seem to reduce the whole situation into "Russia is willing to start a war, the only problem with recent increase of shelling in Ukraine is that it could be used as an excuse by Russia". Reading so obviously simplistic account about the situation is saddening.

Also, it made me realize that pro-russia nationalists in Ukraine have their own distinct agenda.

Now, disclaimer, I have no horse in this race, I'm just a random westerner, but I've been lied too often and I'm sick of it.
Edit: My comment concerning salmon was poor. The fisherman I know who fish above Bonneville, The Dalles, and even above the John Day dams do catch salmon have good reports, but this is only local and anecdotal. We know there are places where salmon are spawning where they haven't in 80 years which gives hope, but doesn't provide a good overall indicator. The dams have been a tough on the Salmon.
>but people who suspect that's not the full story, well that's pointless to debate, they should use my framework for discussion

You can believe whatever you want, use whatever framework you want (religion, spirituality, science etc). I'm just pointing out that it is pointless to debate between the two because they fundamentally disagree about how to inquire about the world and answer questions like this. Everyone in this debate is talking past each other without acknowledging that they are starting from two very different positions and sets of definitions.
They have some public funding.
> there are significant benefits to automated enforcement

Could you elaborate on what you think the benefits are?

I'm of the opinion that systems that indiscriminately check whether all people nearby are currently committing a crime should not be things we should be building in our society. I would prefer there be a reason to suspect a person of a crime, and pursue on a targeted basis, rather than simply have panopticons charging people with crimes.

For example- with the system in this article, I would prefer if a person were required to call in and complain "there was a too-noisy car at this location at this time", and then a person reviewed footage from that location at that time and determined whether to send a ticket out or not.

Regarding your points about transparency, I completely agree with you.

Maybe we should just say "Shut up and program", similar to how some physicists say, "Shut up and calculate", when the philosophical wrangling gets out of hand. Copenhagen interpretation vs. many-worlds? Does it matter? Is there any way to find out? If not, back to work.

My comment on this for several decades has been that we don't know enough to address consciousness. We need to get common sense right first. Common sense, in this context, is getting through the next 30 seconds without screwing up. Automatic driving is the most active area there. Robot manipulation in unstructured environments is a closely related problem. Neither works well yet. Large neural nets are not particularly good at either of these problems.

We're missing something important. Something that all the mammals have. People have been arguing whether animals have consciousness for a long time, at least back to Aristotle. Few people claim that animals don't have some degree of common sense. It's essential to survival. Yet AI is terrible at implementing common sense. This is a big problem.
Maybe one should phrase it as “Ten most powerful men have more power than the least-powerful 3.1B people.” Money is power in this world as it currently works.

This is part of Microsoft and OpenAI marketing/branding strategy. Similar wording was used during the acquisition when OpenAI used "pre-AGI" in their press release:

> Instead, we intend to license some of our pre-AGI technologies, with Microsoft becoming our preferred partner for commercializing them.*

It's mostly arguing about semantics and it's fine and common in research circles. Sam Altman is pretty out of line with his comment saying LeCun lacks vision because he doesn't adhere to their hype (my opinion) based wording. Aside from that it's just business as usual, no need to stop every time academics argue.

Notably missing aspect is precise time of events.

Personas like someone who posts content during 08:34:40 - 09:23:23 except 08:43:30-08:55:23, never seems to be active during 22:00 - 06:00, can be narrowed down to something like a person commuting via bus route A from stop B to C changing to a train route from C to D through passageway E in the station.

From there you can look for a man looking down at a phone, or couple information with other factors, or throw in a bait like a giant stinking dead fish or a rare and loud car in front of him and watch for responses he'd make. IMSI catchers and Bluetooth scanners can be useful as well if your adversaries are resourceful. Time and location of transmissions and time of receptions can be correlated, in theory.

This type of attacks can't be mitigated on fast-paced social media at all; both posts and requests has to be queued and obfuscated for time.

Salmon in the Pacific Northwest on the whole is dying. The entire salmon fishery will go extinct. Don't know where you get your information from, but Salmon in the Pacific Northwest is going the way of the cod fisheries in the North American Eastern seaboard.

Don't believe what your "salmon fisherman" will tell you - their whole purpose in life, their raison d'etre is to fish the salmon until every single last one is gone. Then they will move to another place to fish.
If all you have is Alice and Bob, there's no way to determine the time from Alice to Bob, or from Bob to Alice, you can only determine the sum of the two. This is because Alice and Bob have different local time scales.

To put it another way, you can't distinguish being in sync and Bob -> Alice taking 4 ms, and Alice -> Bob taking 6 ms, from being out of sync by 1 ms, and both directions taking 5 ms.

If you've got an external reference, such as GPS or an adjusted for time in transit radio clock, you can figure this out. If you've got a asymmetric first hop, but afterwards a mostly symmetric path (common for residential customers connecting to commercially hosted ntp servers) and a set of servers that are different round trips away, you can get an estimate. But if all the servers are the same/similar round trips, you likely won't have enough information.

Are you saying that you have the app previously installed on your phone, and it has ceased to work on that same phone, even though you didn't do something like a restore-from-backup in the interim? That's my interpretation of your comment but I could be misreading you.
The response to the lack of definition should be investigation into how that definition could look like, not arguing if we or something else has it or not. Without a definition and criteria to test you're never going to make progress.
Lower bounds on the product of the variances of a function and of its Fourier transform are pretty standard in physics texts. See e.g. the discussion leading to Eq. 16.34 in Feynman's lectures of physics https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_16.html

The weird thing is not that there is a relationship between a function and its Fourier transform. That's pretty "elementary" math, as you observe. The weird thing is that physically meaningful quantities such as position and momentum should be related via Fourier transform in the first place. No amount of math can prove this fact---you need experiments.

By the way, in Heisenberg-type lower bounds, you allow both the function and its Fourier transform to be nonzero everywhere, yielding the result that the Gaussian distribution minimizes the product of the variances. But you can also ask a different question: assuming that I want the function to be band-limited, i.e., I want the Fourier transform to be strictly 0 outside an interval [-B, B], which function minimizes the dispersion in the time domain? This question yields the beautiful theory of the "prolate spheroidal functions", which are far from elementary. This kind of question is useful e.g. in signal processing: if you are allowed to look at N samples of an audio signal, what is the best low-pass filter that you can design?
