B6 Audis have a design problem with their sunroof drains. When they clog up, unknown to you, the water will pool in passengers footwell area. It takes a while to notice this as a person, as there is 4-6" of foam padding between the metal floor of the car, and where you rest your feet . The TCM lives between these layers, and eventually, in the lake that will form, submerging your TCM -- leaving you with yet another reason to hate your Audi.

This is early 2000's. Late 200 a8 models had I believe 30+ different "computers" living in the same over metal under foam situation.*

I now have secondhand PTSD from reading this, and thinking about the Audi owners who have found out the hard way.

Dead leaves caught in your sunroof can make your transmission flake out. I'm sure the owner's manual, on page 935, instructs you to ream out the drains with a pipe-cleaner every 5,000km so that your car can shift properly. The only word I can think of for this is..."perverted".
That is a reasonable skepticism, I think.

But I will say: by the time anyone has “something to show for it,” AGI will, pretty much by definition, already be here. I don’t think we’re gonna be able to see it coming, or know what it will look like, except through very speculative predictions. So I do think while skepticism is warranted, we should still evaluate everything in good faith, and not automatically jump to shilling. (Not saying you’re doing that, btw - just commenting)
Not OP but okay. I could see anxiety acting that way and getting people in a negative feedback loop.

On the even more anecdotal side, I have heard of people having different heartbeats while super high too, even palpitations, which can be very distressing with the high not helping at all!
I thought Jet.com acquisition would solve this. What a waste.
Every gaming platform will give the information upon "emergency request," and most CSR's, siding in caution, will happily give out the name, mailing address...email, and even challenge questions...

It's a social engineering attack that has worked 2ezily since 2007.

Similar to SWATting, but essentially in reverse.

Also abusable are the new GDPR requests. Compliance is pretty much at odds with security of the account itself. Complying with the inane EU rules basically makes your system at risk at trivial account takeover, which juxtapositionally/ironically then make it easier to leverage a person.

It's like 2FA over SMS....you are basically at the mercy of a Verizon/ATT employee.

Stop trusting humans, make systems that humans cannot make unilateral decisions without a reasonable amount of redtape.
Google doesn't use shared building wifi in their corporate campuses

> For both wired and wireless access, Google uses RADIUS servers to assign devices to an appropriate network, based on 802.1x authentication. We use dynamic, rather than static, VLAN assignment. This approach means that rather than relying on the switch/port static configuration, we use the RADIUS servers to inform the switch of the appropriate VLAN assignment for the authenticated device. Managed devices provide their certificate as part of this 802.1x handshake and are assigned to the unprivileged network, while unrecognized and unmanaged devices on the corporate network are assigned to a remediation or guest network. - https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

Yes BeyondCorp does allow access to corporate resources outside of the intranet, but as part of a managed device + identity + network evaluation.
The site is great now and I think those changes would ruin it in my opinion.

Um, no. I've definitely sent unclassified emails to @nsa.gov addresses, when I worked in government. They would be crippled if they didn't have some way to email the outside world.
Linear Algebra by Shilov is worth a shout, and as will all Dover maths books remarkably reasonably priced.
Easy for me to imagine. We simulate every atom of a brain. If the simulation is accurate it should think. The only thing that would make that not possible is believing in some kind of spirit.

After that it's just optimizations. Are their algorithms to simulate atoms faster. Is every aspect of those atoms important to the simulation. Can you instead simulate molecules instead of atoms. Or larger structures. Etc...

I'm not saying that is how we will arrive at AGI but it is arguably a logical path that should lead there of something else doesn't come first.
Again, I will hand-wave about complexity. A larger memory and the ability to load/unload large corpora rapidly implies a very different kind of cognition than the one we enjoy.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, only that I can imagine a reality where you can’t just arbitrarily scale components of cognition and still have a functioning system.
What's wrong with one AP per room? That's exactly how it should be and indeed gives you bulletproof performance & reliability. Wi-Fi should be your home's "last mile" and everything before that should be wired.

The over-gigabit speeds are hyperbole, but in my case I'm regularly seeing ~500Mbps both ways and very consistent latency with no sudden spikes.

Most wireless problems are due to there being a single AP that's barely within reach causing tons of retransmissions which makes any real-time application (such as calls) unusable. It doesn't help that Wi-Fi signal strength meters are completely useless (maybe they should measure actual packet loss instead of RSSI which is only part of the picture) so end-users are unable to tell what's actually going on.

Having APs always within line of sight of the client device solves all these problems.
The only one that worked well for me on Windows is SpaceSniffer. It correctly treated symlinks and junctions (most tools duplicate those) and alternate data streams (which most tools ignore).

That's still a choice of palette; you'll find it listed on Wikipedia [1] under "Regular RGB palettes".

There's no doubt it's a much more objective choice than the one I used! I did say I was cheating.

Going to 4-bit color won't make it feasible. Even with 1-bit black/white pixels on about the minimum possible 18x24 Waldo face, you have 432 bits to look for, and you're not going to find them without cheating somehow. This guy on Twitter tried pretty thoroughly: https://twitter.com/gsuberland/status/1508697913177915393

For the palette hack, you want to go the other way; it's easier with bigger pixels. I was able to create a perfect Waldo face from the first 988 bytes of π as a TIFF, where the standard supports 16-bit palette indices for the pixel data. Unfortunately nothing except imagemagick seems to support actually viewing these TIFFs.

This is what I noticed about Clubhouse that I felt went underreported -- you rarely talked over each other because latency was very low. I was under the impression this was a big part of why they dragged out the android release, it doesn't allow the same real-time audio API that iOS apparently has.
> Do you really think a book with instructions in a room plus a man to carry them out understands Chinese?

Again with the scale misdirection. Are you really sure a room the size of Jupiter with a rule book the size of many libraries, full of trillions of people following the rules, shuffling quadrillions of symbols for millions of years definitely can’t ever understand Chinese? Not in any sense?
Not really true. It took 27M tries to find that one
I have Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus 256 GB version. I got it because I hate display notches or camera holes. I recommend to get a newer one, or the last Galaxy Note.

It's an excellent phone-computer overall. My USB-C dock has HDMI and USB-A which both work as well as with a PC and I use them to connect my classic PC keyboard, mouse and full HD display.

On the software side, don't waste your time getting stuff working on bare rooted Android. Download NixOnDroid or Termux and use that like you'd use a NixOS/Debian distro.

If you're a Node.js coder, it's very easy to get all your stuff working inside NixOnDroid. Don't worry about installing and using X or VNC, that sucks. You can run VSCode server and access it using Android Chrome or Firefox - that works flawlessly and provides seamless access inside the NixOnDroid environment too.

The default OS is well made, no need to reinstall it unless for ideological/privacy reasons - the S9 is actually still getting updates (4 years now).

I want to de-google my life so I flashed it and did not install any Google software and don't use any Google services. Flashing ROM on this phone is very easy. I am using ArrowOS.

Beware: I am in EU, so I got the Exynos version. Based on XDA-Developers, it seems like the Snapdragon version (commonly sold in US and elsewhere) isn't as hackable - but as I said the default OS is good and you can run NixOnDroid on it too.
It is not a security issue. The state.gov email server, which is meant for unclassified communication, was hacked during this time, while the clintonemail.com server was not.

It is a document retention issue. If none of the Secretaries were trying to circumvent the retention rules and were emailing or CCing state.gov addresses on most of their emails anyway, the issue becomes fairly small. That is why none of them were prosecuted.

I had the same kind of accidental introduction to depth illusions as a kid. The family station wagon had a patterned finish that was just repeated squares. On long trips my eyes would relax and suddenly the pattern jumped off the surface. Unfortunately it's not so easy any more, I have a hard time getting them to lock in now.
Sometimes I look at the credits lists for very impressive, native 90s desktop programs, that were made in a reasonable amount of time by a small group of people who, at least to some degree, had worse tools than we do now, for a smaller market and lower pay. Usually to be shipped on CD, so they even had to mostly work and not have too many bugs at launch, on top of that. And I wonder WTF happened to our industry and what the armies of programmers at all these companies are doing.
It's not purely electrical. It's also chemical, especially if you look at how synapses work. (But then again, chemical processes are driven by electric charges anyway.)

I believe AGI is possible, but the more I study ML the more convinced I am that we don’t know what it (AGI) is. I also, don’t know if I agree that humans have GI (humanity as a whole does). I think we’re actually copycats more than anything else. Neural nets are the atoms of GI, but it’s not clear what the superstructure of GI is. We all assume that we understand what general intelligence is, but I don’t think we actually have the goods yet. We understand optimization, but we don’t understand the thing that chooses what to optimize. There is some notion of “values” in order for intelligence to be legible, and we don’t know what that is either.
HTTPS is when you ask 200 companies if either of them know the key for your bank. And they are all run by charlatan boomers who think buying more firewalls and cool security products is equivalent to securing their private cert signing keys. Why on earth would I ever want this? Like hello, have you ever seen ultracorporate tech company culture? They really don't know what they're doing. Why would you trust them let alone trust 200 of them in a way such that even if one of them messes up, all your sites are compromised?

Imagine that domain names contained the public key in them. I Google up "mybank", and it gives me https://8c789ad256afa4ca93f1af6436e7adff51cdd1c380de7d7cc78b...
This takes <1000 lines of code to implement and already stops the only thing that HTTPS stops: a noob MITM positioned attacker who can't break into CAs. The MITM can't change the Google results, because you already came from https://a4244aa43ddd6e3ef9e64bb80f4ee952f68232aa008d3da9c78e..., which you somehow obtained before the MITM happened.
I don't know, I maintain that policy fairly strictly, but I can imagine falling for this.

I won't as a policy give out information to an incoming call, and I do call back if they want any info from me. But my working memory is not endless. The topic of discussion had changed three times before he was asked for any information, and the information still wasn't PII, it was a confirmation code. The scammer knew enough about him that he wasn't especially on alert. I can well imagine that flag in my mind that I was on an incoming call having been lost before we got to that point. And I suspect that's exactly how the scam was designed.
Exactly. VP is the level that spends most of their time concerned with how their function strategically fits with other functions. It's the entry-level position for C-level corporate politics.

If Director is the most senior you can be without being that, you're generally the highest execution-focused role that lets your VP do their thing. Somewhat equivalent to an XO in the military. At the same time, you're usually the one who has to translate the relevant parts of the strategy into something relevant and tactical for everyone below.

I wouldn't say it's _never_ OK to have a multi-page résumé, but as a hiring manager/interviewer I do strongly prefer one-pagers.

I never penalize or reject candidates based on having a multi-page résumé, but I tend to see a strong correlation between candidates with great one-page résumés and great written communication skills. It shows that they've spent the time to consider what's relevant to the hiring manager/recruiter/etc.

IMO, keep the résumé short and sweet, and stick to the highlights, with a heavier emphasis on more recent experience. If you really want to dive into more detail on something, write a cover letter tailored to the position/company you're applying for.

The problem is, there's no real clinical benefit that comes out of gain of function research. Virologists claim that there is, but they can't point to examples of where it helped us actually treat or prevent something.

Basically they're creating bigger and bigger fires and claiming that doing so somehow helps firefighters. Next we'll have nuclear weapons researchers claiming that higher yields are good to know about so we can work out how to protect against stronger explosions.

I use to have this problem as well. It turns out that I had set

That is true, and most DBAs are fully aware that the security model is only as good as the extensions they load and docker integration is very likely low on the list of necessities.

Same specs except 250gb HDD instead of 160gb which, in my opinion, isn’t something to scoff at in 2007/2008. Overpriced? Sure. But $200 wasn’t exorbitant for the upgrade. The blog dismisses that a little too readily IMO.
1. We have a demographic trend towards lower demand as GenZ population is smaller than Millenial, and Baby boomers will mostly die off over the next 10 years (Japan problem). Yes this considers immigration

2. We are close to all time highs in home construction pipeline, and the rate of starts is at 2000s bubble levels and increasing. We will likely eclipse the 70s building peak sometime this year.

3. If they aren't selling they also aren't buying (generally). Somebody choosing not to move due to low rate has no net effect on inventory

These narratives have been powerful in shaping the FOMO psychology though, despite data showing the exact opposite is true.

What's driving housing now is pure psychology, and low active listings (not low structural supply). The Fed will likely start selling MBS, driving rates to 6% or above to solve both of these.

Though the fact they even bought MBS for so long to begin with somewhat implies they don't care about creating a bubble in housing. Maybe they do nothing and let it ride

I agree with you, but he doesn’t really have the authority to push the investigation in any other way than to roast whoever he has access to in public meetings. There isn’t congressional support to pass a resolution or bill to do so. He holds minority views within a minority party, and he is just one legislator, not an executive.

In other words, the only way that Rand Paul can influence the situation in any meaningful way is through political means. So, I find it hard to fault the theatrics with Fauci as distasteful as there are.

"I think to some degree the crazy pay and the crazy costs are a treadmill."

What is your net income after expenses? How much equity do you have in your home?

It's possible that the actual value you're receiving could be higher in other locations, even if your salary is significantly lower (1/2 even). I'm guessing you could sell your current home and buy a similar one in a low cost area for cash (not that you should use cash) and have some left over.

I have no interest in SV and never have. But if I had a do-over in life, I would have moved there for maybe 5-8 years and left for a low cost area.

Even ignoring the concept of adversaries, wireless mesh is difficult to scale. Throughput and range are inversely proportional. Environmental conditions can attenuate signal. Propagation of routes is tricky as the network grows. It makes sense for something like starlink where there is LOS and ownership. But for modern day bandwidth requirements wireless mesh doesn’t make sense. Useful for smaller deployments where the data payloads are small and the max hops is limited.

> The difference is the npm ecosystem actively encourages automatically following SemVer because by default it uses a ^ to prefix the version number.

So does Go. In fact, Go only supports the equivalent of ^, there is no way to specify a dependency as '=1.2.3'. That is, whenever you have two different dependencies which use the same dependency at different (semver compatible) versions, go mod will always download the newer of the two, effectively assuming that the one depending on an older version will also work with the newer.

The only difference in this respect compared to NPM (and perhaps also Cargo or NuGet? I don't know) is that Go will never download a version that is not explicitly specified in some go.mod file - which is indeed a much better policy.
