The implications of Karnaugh maps and state machine reduction, which
we did in "Digital Logic" when I was a student, were that you could
take any problem, express it as a set of states and transforms, and
boil that down to an optimal netlist of discrete logic gates.

Of course, in the mid 80's that was a pedagogical tool to lead us
toward register machines and von Neumann architectures, but there were
still some old-skool EE hackers around who built things like guidance
systems for the Navy which were hybrid analogue/digital "computers"
totally without CPUs or code. Today we have FPGAs and high level tools
for building ASIC, but cheap microprocessors effectively swept aside
an entire approach.

Maybe we missed something. Many small and well constrained problems in
IoT type applications might better be served by hard-configured
solutions. They would use less power, be immune to malicious network
hacking, not need 'firmware' updates,

Did they get the job done to your satisfaction and budget? If so you might want to just pay them in a way that rewards them for their skill and not their time.

Not saying it's easy, but worth thinking about before you start the surveillence.
This is not entirely true. You're arguing for prohibition, and in many cases prohibition will lead to black markets and other undesirable outcomes.

In a country like Spain or wherever in Europe where people haven't been owning and open carrying guns for dozens of years it is not unreasonable to think bans wouldn't have an effect on people. But if you try to ban something outright, something that people are used to, you're going to get problems.

Banning sex has, by the way, been tried. If you ask a religious person what's the best way to deal with teen pregnancy they are going to say abstention. It doesn't work.

This should led you to believe that there is, in fact, a sweetspot between regulation and prohibition and that's really how most competent politicans should look at these issues. I don't think a gun ban is reasonable in the USA; but I would argue you definitely need more and progressive regulation so that the population is slowly disarmed. But how can you do that when it is literally in your constitution?

I disagree. People won't switch from cars to bikes from two reasons:

1) They don't want to be exposed to elements.

2) They want to have some kind of protection during accident.
To answer your questions

1/ You do that when you get the idea that they have grown smart enough and sneaking and doing it anyway on their friends' phones.
2/ Apple phones are good and hard to hack (at least by a regular kid).
3/ Yes. Plus a reward/punishment system for additional/curtailed hours on completion of chores.

I personally have a slightly different approach.

1/ I have given them Kindle as replacement devices (they also have jailed phones) and socially engineered them to make them feel superior about that. I've also given them some RPi to play with (to practically apply the things they read and learn from the books on Kindle).

This way, they don't take the phone as a forbidden fruit (since they already have it).

2/ I have created a normal user on Android phones with Microsoft ecosystem (I have a O360 family subscription) so, apart from the regular firewall stuff, it also logs everything my kids do on the phone and reports to me. Occassionally I go through the complete logs in their phones, to see if they tried to bypass their user profiles and do something funny.

However, it's important to make them realise that all this is done for their own good. Plus I make sure not to interfere in everything they do. It's ok to make mistakes as long as I can make sure it's reversible. Otherwise I've seen deep rooted resentment in some other kids. For example, their map locations sync to me in real time. I make sure they understand that this is for their own convenience (kids don't care about safety so no point in highlighting that) like arranging an Uber if they need one or to give them directions. That way, they don't take it as spying on them and are completely comfortable with sharing their live location with me. On the contrary, they take it as their parent (me) taking care of them and are actually pretty proud about it.

3/ I avoid negative feedback loops. I don't say you can use the phone only for 2 hours daily. Rather I say, you can use the phone as long as you want but only after you finish your daily checklist. Chores/Class tasks etc. It's works pretty well.
Couldn't be that secret if Bernard Collaery himself actually knows about the trial rather than fully blind-sided.
Wild animal suffering is the new frontier of animal welfare
I had piano and clarinet lessons as a kid, and kept them up into my teens. I rarely practiced except when I was forced to, and I wasn't very good at practising when I did. I don't consider this abuse by the way, I was "forced" to go to school lessons too (not that I'm questioning Wil Wheaton's experience, which sounds quite different). Ultimately I found the repetition required in practising extremely boring, and I didn't have enough inner drive to get better. There's probably (a lack of) natural aptitude involved too, although this is hard to disentangle from motivation - a negative feedback loop maybe.

When I hear an good musician now, I inevitably wish I'd tried harder and could do what they do. If I hadn't had lessons, perhaps I'd blame my folks for the fact that I can't play jazz. But I was given every opportunity, had lessons for years, and didn't prioritise it. I just accept that it wasn't for me.

My parents also encouraged me to join a choir, and whilst I tended to daydream in choir practice, I kept that up into adulthood and it's had a major impact on my life.
Of course, but saying "we saw her driving around the area of the crime, and she bought gun parts months before(and has a good explanation as to why)" is not proof - at least in my opinion it doesn't meet the "beyond any reasonable doubt" requirement for conviction by the American justice system. If the experts could establish that the bullet that killed her husband was fired from said gun then sure, that's proof. Asking the jury to basically "guess" is not justice - it's more like rolling a dice.
For certain purposes (like graphics programming), this is not a viable option. Not only are you bounded by time (16ms for a single frame means you have to limit the number of points you sample, which may mean that from one frame to the other, you have way less samples), but checking for the distance is way, way less efficient than a simple math expression that can be easily parallelized.
It is an complex idea but in theory one could produce a live-image that spins up the Whonix 'gateway' and 'workstation' virtual-machines into RAM. Boom, probably better than Tails.

The most obvious concern is the RAM-usage (because of tmpfs and each VM having allocated RAM on top of that) and if disk-usage between the gateway and workstation images could be de-duplicated to save space in the live-image.

Great article.

To expand a little on why “Keep It Simple” is so powerful: less code = less bugs and less security issues. Less code = easier to change.
It isn't wrong, but we aren't talking about the model somehow magically transcending the data it's seen. We're talking about making sure the data it sees is representative, so the results it outputs are as well.

Given that male nurses exist (and though less common, certainly aren't rare), why has the model apparently seen so few?

There actually is a fairly simple explanation: because the images it has seen labelled "nurse" are more likely from stock photography sites rather than photos of actual nurses, and stock photography is often stereotypical rather than typical.
Yeah, the SpaceX Kool-aid, at least as regards Mars colonization, is about as lethal as the Jonestown variety.

There will be no Mars colonization on Starships, whatever Elon says. Starship is just wholly inadequate to the task. Neither will there be any sub-orbital passenger or freight service on it.

Starship should be adequate for lofting lots of Starlinks, for getting to the moon, and for boosting just amazingly well-equipped 100t outer solar system probes and telescopes. It might suffice for a quick visit to Mars with a half-dozen crew. (BTW, 9, not 6 months, each way.)

Probably the only way to make even that work would be to send two ships strung on a cable, nose to nose, spun for centrifugal gee force, so they could still walk when they got there. Maybe the second ship carries hydrogen (as ammonia?) to bond to ISR carbon to come home on. And solar panels, to crack the carbon.

But the first thing any attempted colonist would transmit back is "Can I please come home?"

That's how a software implementation by a newbie works.
You can't expect a newbie to take security into account before the software is implemented.
Instead, there should be a custom to rectify all the security errors in the end before the software is pushed to the server.
Exactly how it works in other countries - prosecution has to establish that she was definitely the killer, not "maybe" the killer. They do that by summoning experts and witnesses, until it's either clear as a day that she killed the person, or....it's not, and then the entire case falls apart. You can't(shouldn't!) convict someone on such flimsy evidence as presented in this case.

If you ever listened to the podcast "Serial" that's another great example of that - the prosecution had no substantial evidence, yet the guy got senteced for murder because the prosecutor was able to tell a convicing story to the jury. It's a madhouse.
there is no line, that's up to everyone for themselves. if you can't find what you need to forgive then that is sad for you because you still feel pain and you haven't found a way to make the pain go away. and i feel for you and i wish i could help you.

i am not trying to suggest that you need to forgive in order to feel better. i don't think it works that way. but rather, you need to feel better before you can forgive. i am not feeling sad that you haven't forgiven, but i am feeling sad because you are still hurting.

some may not find what they need to be able to forgive, and some pain will not go away, and it's sad that they will have to keep living with that.
> It's perfectly possible etc.

that's true. However, when essentially all mainstream and government claims are based on said crank's claims, and in line with government interests, that is very suspicious.

That seems like a silly reaction. 40k people die in car crashes in the US every year, and you’re scared by the one death that is an edge case? Would you have been less scared if he had been killed in the impact, and the door handles hadn’t mattered? I agree that car safety systems should be better, but in this case it seems like they did the job. They kept this guy alive long enough to be killed by the aftermath of the crash, rather than the crash itself.

Driving in a car is always a gamble, no matter who makes the car. There is no beta testing here, _you are in a car_.

I also feel compelled to point out that if the fancy screen crashes, then you can either keep driving and navigate using your phone, or you can park and try to reboot or troubleshoot it. The computer that runs the screen is separate from the one that controls the motor(s). Also, isn’t the yoke an option on just one of the four Tesla models? You can just avoid buying that one if you don’t like it :)

FWIW, I don’t own a car. I don’t commute, so when mine was stolen a few years back I simply put off replacing it until I really needed one.
Quoting Wikipedia:

> Engineering studies for the plant began in October 1964, with early site preparation starting three years later. In 1972 its 1,168 megawatts (1,566,000 hp) hydroelectric plant became operational as the largest such facility in the world.[citation needed] The facility was built to balance the supply from the nearby Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.[3]

A very common reason for building these historically.

I've noticed a pattern among the childhood stories of young musicians (and artists in general). They either found the instrument fascinating on its own and were just enjoying toying with it [1] or were surrounded by people (parents, family) who enojoy playing music, and that enjoyment infected them.

On the other hand, the people I know who were forced by parents to practice piano for years have not touched it ever in their adult life. They treated it as just another chore, such as say biology class at school - something they have to do, but have no interest in and will drop from their mind as soon as they don't have to do it any more.

[1] A common subscenario here is some kind of dysfunction (prolonged illness, dysfunctional family, not fitting with other children for some reason) which pushed the kid into a lonely parallel universe of just sitting on their own and praticing their art for years.
You are off by an order of magnitude at least.
256 TPUs-v4 (not pod), would cost you around 20k$/day.
They actually used 512 TPUs (256 for base model + 128 for each of the two superresolution models).

Assuming an average training time of 1 week as you said, that gives us about 280k$.

It's also most likely trained for longer than a week, the base model for Dalle-2 was trained for 100-200k GPU hours, so between 2-4x longer than that, we can guess this is roughly similar.

You also never successfully train everything first try, so all in all, to replicate this work just from the paper, we are talking about at least 500k$.

Our daughters both play instruments and they only get to choose each semester how much teaching they want to do or if they want to play in orchestras or ensembles. But once they choose so they cannot stop practicing for their ensemble concert. Interestingly while there is a lot of friction involved to get them to practice at times they are always very proud and happy for their performance and want to do it again. The most draconian measure we apply is not letting them use electronic media.

> It's still much more friction than simply going to a gun show or a state where there are no questions asked when you purchase a weapon.

I really wish people would stop repeating this falsehood. If you live in a state that allows private sales without a background check, and you sell a gun to a non-resident of that state, you have committed a felony. Non-resident sales must go through an FFL, which means background checks and whatnot.

Most criminals get their guns through theft, self-manufacture, or straw purchases (often via a spouse or close relative). They're not acquiring them through legal loopholes.
> Yes it is that simple. Denying there is a link between shooting and gun laws is he problem. It's that simple.

The data just doesn't support that view. Simply asserting "because I said so" is not a good way to convince people of your argument.
> If I'm unable to convey authorization by giving you the token, it is not a capability. If I am able to guess the token, it is not a capability.

You're taking "communicable" too literally. It doesn't mean "literally giving someone else this bytestring and now they can do it, too". It means "there is a way to give someone else the capability". SCM_RIGHTS is such a way to communicate capabilities between processes. Further up above you're also conflating files and file descriptors, which are very different things.

That’s an almost impossible task. Code gets immensely more expensive to understand or modify based on its age. If you don’t bother thinking about security until the 11th hour, it’s too late. Things will slip through.

Just in case it's not clear to anyone (or to you) they pump the water up the mountain with cheap (often renewable) energy when there's a surplus, and then release it instead of turning on the more expensive gas generators to fuel the peak demand.

Of course it's wartime propaganda, but the tone is mild and it gives some details about battlefield technology. It would be nice to get some detailed reporting like this from the Ukrainian side. Some quotes below translated with Bing.

About Intelligence

The Armed Forces of Ukraine has a well-established work with the civilian population. Civilians shoot everything on their phones - the movement of our equipment, location - and throw them into groups in social networks. This data is then analyzed. And they react.

On the other hand, they have intelligence from American satellites. When they attacked us near Balakliya, they had all the information: where who was standing, what was the state of the equipment, the number of people, where was who was ... Suppose we crossed the border, there were (Ukrainian) towers with video cameras, fully autonomous: electric units, batteries ... Everything is American. That is, all the videos with our equipment immediately went to their headquarters. We drove up with border guards and shot this equipment with machine guns.

They're clear. Drones are mandatory. First, they identify targets, then make all the necessary calculations using programs that are downloaded to tablets or smartphones. Coordinates are entered automatically - by the mark from the target. The program gives a directional angle for the mortar. Whatever the shot goes to the target.

Suppose an observer or spotter equipped with a thermal imager, a tablet, where (electronic) maps are loaded, can transmit coordinates. That is, not on paper maps, but on an electronic tablet, he indicated a point, and the coordinates automatically left. We didn't have that.

About Javelins

The Ukrainians use American Javelin anti-tank systems, Swedish-British NLAW, Ukrainian Stugna-P against us. Of the Javelin's ten hits, only one case I saw was when the turret flew away and when there was a complete destruction of the tank. And so basically - shell-shocked everyone (in the crew), and the equipment can be restored after hitting. We had one Javelin hit the tank. A cumulative jet pierced the turret and the breech of the gun. The crew received only burns to his face and hands.

Half of the Javelins are non-working because they run on batteries. Without it, it won't work. And the batteries are already half non-working. That is, the West is dumping them with junk...

...Then I saw a man running out of MT-LB. I ran along the forest plantation for 20-30 meters. He disappeared into a trench. And from there (the last thing I saw) was the Javelin. Up the rocket went up - I shout to the driver mechanic: come back! To move away from that position... That's it. The missile hit the tank – the turret, next to the hat of the Pine sight. The dynamic protection worked. That is, the gap was outside, the tank was combat-ready - after me they still rode on it, fought...

About Tactics

All battles are conducted at a distance of no closer than four kilometers. That is, there are no contact fights as such. Contact battles are conducted by special forces, which at night move into the forest plantations and with the help of thermal imagers destroy the infantry.
I'm sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, and I'm genuinely curious. I hear that line of reasoning often, "well criminals would do it anyway", but is that really true?

In the UK, guns are heavily restricted and we definitely have criminals but our gun crime is very low. There must be some reason these criminals are not using guns?

I'd wager that it's because most people do not have guns, so they're harder to access, less chance of criminals being able to access. Wouldn't that be the same in the US too?
