Tesla's data doesn't even show that they are safer on highways, I don't think you understand the original criticism.

It's like this:

Tesla: Look how great we are, our apple is redder than their orange.

Critic: It doesn't make sense to compare the colors of those things in that way. Here's why ...

You: So being a redder apple should now be disregarded?
Makes me think about stroboscopic geometry or the geometric patterns you see when you rub your eyes. Where are those shapes coming from?

I think some neural wetware can be instinctually tuned to resonate with particular shapes—like snakes or faces. But I would guess that large collections tend to resonate with certain geometries naturally. Like, to the perfect symmetry of circles or to crisp contrasts or straight lines or repeating angles.

In other words, I think some geometry is inherent to neurons once there aren’t other instinctual matters to deal with. This should be empirically testable.
Just curious, would your deployment method be any different today? If so, how?
That's not what I meant, the articles from Buzzfeed News were good, I don't deny it.

That being said, their reputation as "Buzzfeed" is bad, if you repeat a piece of information to someone and say that you "read it on Buzzfeed", there will be an inherent bias that the source is bad, because most people associate them with terrible pop-culture articles on Facebook and don't even know that they won a pullitzer prize.

In that context, their reputation is permanently damaged for most people. If Buzzfeed really want to create "serious" news branch they'd have to call it something else at the very least.
> because the web already obviously a bad idea 30 years ago when people decided that website owners should be able to make users do shit before being able to read/view the content

Are you sure that was in the original spec?
That's exactly the point that was being made to you. The debate here is precisely what is reasonable, and what is harm.
Do you have evidence Tesla crashes less than Mercedes? I'd be interested to see a comparison.
Someone who knows better can correct me, but I assume they put the character in a complex environment to show that they are rendering a highly realistic character while still rendering a complex environment. I remember very impressive character rending tech demos from 10-20 years ago, but it was a single character in a static environment.

I generally agree with you, but in this case I suspect Grace Hopper would be honored by it and also impressed with the engineering here. It's not like they slapped her name on a soda can or something.
You would think that an intelligence operation that ransomed your corporate network, and shut down your core business for weeks would be sufficient to declare a jurisdiction unfriendly. But alas, it takes public opinion to shift before doing anything drastic…
P1 Gen4 Thinkpad. Love it. Ubuntu 21.10 works really well on it, including firmware upgrades. Nearly zero issues.
For all I know Bin Laden was also elected “fair and free”. The problem is the power is not in the people but a select few, even in “democratic” America.

The toddler comparison does not make a lot of sense. Most Russians and Americans are just as able bodied as Putin or Biden, they ain't tiny powerless humans. They are choosing and supporting authoritarianism.
Someone said that not haggling caused the neighbouring vendors to be upset (presumably jealous at not hitting the jackpot).

Can you point me to the cultures where not haggling caused offense?
How is that related to this?

OATH/TOTP does not need your mobile number. It only needs the current time, a secret, and an SHA/HMAC function.

Funny sidenote about the Matrix unreal demo: where did Neo go? He just disappears.
As you point out, while boycotting someone based on your perception of their opinion is not new, the modality of mass mob boycotts of individuals over things potentially taken out of context is entirely new, and that's exactly what "cancel culture" refers to. The underlying mechanism of Twitter is what gave birth to the term, regardless of whether it's used by haters to justify hate speech.

One other thing that's new, in America, is the idea that speech is less important than people's feelings. Coupled with the new notion that hurting someone's feelings constitutes a form of harm tantamount to violence, this allows proportionality in punishment to be abstracted away. If measures of harm are arbitrary and shifting depending on how much mob traction one particular issue recieves or how sensitive one person happens to be, then proportionality is impossible, and "cancel culture" captures a state where cancellation is the answer to any grievance of any severity which manages to find cultural purchase.
Of course, it depends on what you view as harmful, and who's opinions you agree with. There is no obvious right answer. Pretending we can say "so this should never happen" is absurd in my view, it implies people have to give their money to people that will use that money to fund harm.

The core of free speech is that even abhorrent views should not face censorship by the government, because democracy requires it. If this is true, surely the right to not support people who's views you disagree with is just as necessary? (If not, is every Republican cancelling the Democratic party by not donating to them?) The answer, as with democracy and freedom of speech, is to make the better argument, get people to agree with you, and then use that to support the things you think are right.

We don't have a better answer than that.

I think there are obvious cases we can personally make better choices: seek context and clarity, don't jump to conclusions and pile on just because others say something without checking it is valid and proportionate, but again, that's never the "anti-cancel culture" argument.

This is indeed rendered in realtime, but one thing to note is it's a "4D" capture, more-or-less meaning each frame of the animation is its own asset. This makes it possible to reproduce subtle physics like the lips sticking together slightly when the actor opens her mouth. The amount of storage space, alone, makes this impractical for anything other than demos. Unity claims they will be able to achieve this level of fidelity using a deep learning-based compression that will allow stuff like this to appear in game cutscenes, but all the movements will still be pre-baked. The only interaction possible will be moving the camera. At that point the technology will be very useful, but it's still a ways away from having such a realistic character that can react to you dynamically.

(Though whether that's just a couple years of software technology progress, or a decade+ for hardware progress, who can say?)

Chile today has the 2nd largest GDP in south america and is comparable in economic freedom to South Korea.

Consider their cousin Venezuela that also has nationalized resource industries but has otherwise promoted policies contrary to Friedman's advice. As a result they have economic conditions comparable to North Korea.

To say Chile's economic success is only due to nationalization of industry is inconsistent with the outcome.

Amazon has at least two generations of their own homebrew ARM chip, the Graviton. They offer it for people to rent and use in AWS, and publicly stated they are rapidly transitioning their internal services to use it too. In my experience Graviton 2 is much cheaper than x86 for typical web workloads--I've seen costs cut by 20-40% with it.
Yeah, the environment is bit-for-bit identical in dev and prod. Any difference is an opportunity for bugs.

OK, there's one concession, there's an env var that indicates if it's a dev and prod environment. We try to use it sparingly. Useful for stuff like not reporting exceptions that originate in a dev environment.

Basically, there's a default.nix file in the repo, and you run nix-shell and it builds and launches you into the environment. We don't depend on anything outside of the environment. There's also a dev.nix and a prod.nix, with that single env var different. There's nothing you can't run and test natively, including databases.

Oh, it also works on MacOS, but that's a different environment because some dependencies don't make sense on MacOS, so some stuff is missing.
Do you mean SMS? I don't see a requirement that you use that. Yeah, that would be a pain. My SMS goes to a voip number that emails me the message, and that works most of the time, but a few jerky sites reject it. I just figured that the 2fa slows down requests to 2 per minute or whatever, the speed of TOTP codes changing.

I also don't know what a verified account is. If it's just email-confirmed then yeah, that is trivial. If it is a payment card that worked, or even further a shipping address that worked, that can be more annoying to game.

I had thought that it was only the Pi Zero series that had strict quantity limits, and that people were supposed to be able to buy lots of 4's if they wanted to.

Also, for most users (not all) there isn't really a pressing need for a 4, since the 400 has been plentiful and is basically a 4 in a different form factor, with an attached keyboard. I figured if I wanted a 4 before they became available again, I'd just get a 400. What I really want is some more Zeros and Zero W's, but I think those are both being replaced by the more power hungry and expensive Zero W2.

I do get joy from coding but with regards to OS:

- I simply don't know where to begin... which one to contribute to? I don't have an area of computing that excites me to such a degree for longer than a week.

- I worry that anything meaningful that warrants open-source contribution is going to established - and will feel more like a dayjob in terms of creativity (or lack thereof; implementing a shopping list of FRs) and formality.

I could be entirely wrong but I've never tested this hypothesis as I have a huge backlog of (useless/unprofitable) side-projects to build. Perhaps I'm more of a lone wolf :)

EDIT: One thing that I do assume would be better in established OS is focusing on complexity and going deeper. With side projects you'll often spend far more time on boilerplate stuff than on the "big idea" that might have drawn you in.

> People not wanting to patronize or associate with you when you cause harm to people they care about is really not a bad thing, and it's not new either, and yet it is what gets called "cancel culture" by a lot of people.

> Popehat seems to be falling into the trap of thinking the precisely defining something will lead to clarity. It rarely, if ever, does. Each one of us has our own conception of a term - wordfeel, if you will - and virtually no one actually knows or holds to the literal dictionary definition.

I really disagree, I think he addresses this very specifically at the end of the article, where he writes, "I believe more specificity — action items — is the answer":

> Pointing to specific instances of “cancellation” and debating why they are inside or outside of our norms is a productive action item. Saying “colleges shouldn’t disinvite speakers because of controversy” is a good specific action item; we can debate it. Saying “Ken, stop piling on 20-follower Twitter accounts when they say stupid things” is an action item; I can debate it. [Shan’t.] Saying “stop demanding that businesses fire people for what they say off the job” is an action item. I might not agree but we can discuss it.

He's not at all falling into a definition trap! I think that misses the point of the article, which is one of the most coherent articles I've ever encountered on the subject.
That hurt.

I think even if you only have a 60hz monitor it'll compare 60 vs 30, you should be able to see a difference between them.

I have mine at 180hz and it's extremely easy to track horizontally moving objects at 180hz, and it's almost impossible to see anything in the 30hz content.
This certainly seems more common. Every time I’ve had to refactor 20 year old cruft it’s been because of engineers with the launch-and-iterate mentality 20 years ago, that stopped caring about the “iterate” part once they gained enough job security.
i don't disagree, adafruit is probably acting in their best interest, however they perceive what that interest might be, it's not always just "more profit", more often than not, it's a matter of survival that is at stake.

My issue was with the comment somehow suggesting the entire system (Big Bad Market) is somehow less wise than an individual actor.

Yet, the entire system contains much more information, that the individual actor does not, and can never have access to, e.g. value judgements of other market participants he will never meet.

Markets, at the core, are just auctions. It's one way to resolve the question who gets the scarce resource first. At other times, it's medical triage, a system very different from "free markets". It can also be first-come, first-serve, which is what currently being attempted by Adafruit now.

Many such options. Why is "free market" judged to be inappropriate here?

From my experience in markets with severe shortages, first-come/first-serve rationing approach never failed to produce a poor supply, and free floating markets were always oversupplied (to a varying extent, but in general there was a trend).
Are you saying that it is a shame companies are selling 110ppi monitors?! 110ppi (27 inches/16:9 at 1440p) has been the standard non-retina resolution for a long time.

In 1999, the Nobel prize winning physicist Philip Warren Anderson said he is "sure that it's a fraud",[12] and in the same year another Nobel prize winning physicist, Steven Chu, called it "extremely unlikely".[23] The following year, a 2000 patent based on its hydrino-related technology[24][25] was later withdrawn by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) due to contradictions with known physics laws and other concerns about the viability of the described processes, citing Park and others.[26]

Sometimes the bots are just because people want the items for themselves. I know of some companies that bought 1000s of disk drives for their data centers that way from retailers, back when there was a drive shortage a few years ago.
Plus, IMEIs are often sequential, and can be queried (like a mac address) in a DB. This helps prevent theft.

So they have one IMEI, they have all for that phone.
> Always have pet projects.

I strongly don’t agree with this one. In my opinion, a well rounded individual will have hobbies and a life outside of programming that won’t leave time for pet projects.

Having said that, I do have a pet project that I’ve been “working on” for about 15 years. Maybe I’ll find some time to make some progress on it after I retire.

I do enjoy the lies given by Okta.

1. We didn't compromise any laptop? It was a thin client.

2. "Okta detected an unsuccessful attempt to compromise the account of a customer support engineer working for a third-party provider." -
I'm STILL unsure how its a unsuccessful attempt? Logged in to superuser portal with the ability to reset the Password and MFA of ~95% of clients isn't successful?

4. For a company that supports Zero-Trust. Support Engineers seem to have excessive access to Slack? 8.6k channels? (You may want to search AKIA* on your Slack, rather a bad security practice to store AWS keys in Slack channels )

5. Support engineers are also able to facilitate the resetting of passwords and MFA factors for users, but are unable to obtain those passwords. -
Uhm? I hope no-one can read passwords? not just support engineers, LOL. - are you implying passwords are stored in plaintext?

6. You claim a laptop was compromised? In that case what suspicious IP addresses do you have available to report?

7. The potential impact to Okta customers is NOT limited, I'm pretty certain resetting passwords and MFA would result in complete compromise of many clients systems.

8. If you are committed to transparency how about you hire a firm such as Mandiant and PUBLISH their report? I'm sure it would be very different to your report :)

21. Security Breach Management.
a) Notification: In the event of a Security Breach, Okta notifies impacted customers of such Security Breach. Okta
cooperates with an impacted customer’s reasonable request for information regarding such Security Breach, and Okta
provides regular updates on any such Security Breach and the investigative action and corrective action(s) taken. -

But customers only found out today? Why wait this long?

9. Access Controls. Okta has in place policies, procedures, and logical controls that are designed:

b. Controls to ensure that all Okta personnel who are granted access to any Customer Data are based on leastprivilege principles;

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

1. Security Standards. Okta’s ISMP includes adherence to and regular testing of the key controls, systems and procedures of
its ISMP to validate that they are properly implemented and effective in addressing the threats and risks identified. Such
testing includes:
a) Internal risk assessments;
b) ISO 27001, 27002, 27017 and 27018 certifications;
c) NIST guidance; and
d) SOC2 Type II (or successor standard) audits annually performed by accredited third-party auditors (“Audit
Report”).

I don't think storing AWS keys within Slack would comply to any of these standards?
Part of the challenge might be the limited number of individuals with expertise in both medicine and technology. Each of those fields are quite specialized and require time to build an understanding of the subject matter.
I sure hope more companies don't adopt this sort of gatekeeping, that sounds awful for the people who actually want to wear the shoes and great for the speculators who are abusing that demand to make money.

If you have limited runs that you want to sell fairly and maximize profit on, why not just do a regular auction?
Catchy, but not a particularly good criticism. Few people believe that using cameras for this is impossible, only that it makes the problem so much more difficult that it's insane to think that that's the way to go if your goal is to be a leader in self driving.
Nope. It would definitely make me want to donate money for new legislation that would greatly reduce their access to my data.
Nobody said they’re good quality though.
Maybe, but it's also just a good idea to do anyway, so might as well.
Perhaps a good mental model comes from sales. Treat it as a sales funnel. Leads, qualified leads, meetings booked, follow up meetings (serious), term sheet. Or whatever. It's a numbers game, pure and simple. 500 leads (look up lots of VCs and see if they have invested in anything similar) leads to 80 qualified leads, leads to 50 calls, leads to 10 follow up calls, etc. If you think about it this way, every "rejection" is just a person in your funnel, and your funnel shows lots of people will fall out. Who gives a shit, just keep going.

Obviously it isn't the exact same thing as doing sales, but, who cares? Sales folks have been dealing with rejection since the beginning of time, and from the folks I know in sales, when they have prospects (ie people in the funnel) and they can just keep moving them along, they seem to be ok psychologically.
