> It should be unlawful to process sensitive personal data without adequate security

> Define adequate security

If there is no means of defining "adequate" when it comes to security of sensitive personal data, then companies should not be allowed to amass and process sensitive personal data.

If it's not possible for a company like Experian to exist safely, then it probably shouldn't exist at all.
What I would pay money for is a simple panel -mount device with an ultrasonic mister and a fan, basically a simple humidistat that can sense and flush CO2. I actually bought components to do this but never quite got around to it.
Sounds like you forgot why you started AND/OR haven't broken the next step into something small enough you can continue/resume. That sense of why clarifies the drive to move forwards. What's blocking the next step? Too big a jump? Something in the way that you need to step around?
> We should watch The Martian

Although the events at the beginning and end of the film require massive suspension of disbelief I rate The Martian as one of my favourite films for presenting an optimistic view of science and engineering, massively realistic by Hollywood standards. I'd definitely suggest watching it.
It is also useful for building rustc from source without any rustc binaries, although mrustc (a Rust to C transpiler) was supposed to be good for that too.
It's crazy, it means the costs of imports from the US (oil, cars, even consumer electronics) have shot up almost 20% in a year - and then there's the inflation and looming gas shortages, etc.

Neutrality is looking really, really nice right about now. We could keep the gas flowing via NS2 and get some stability back.
Personal thanks: in search of more horizontal space I installed it, and it does the trick nicely. I installed the "fixed" variant because I don’t want ligatures in the terminal.

> Balmer decided some part of Microsoft Game Studios needed to be shut down to save costs and the Flight Sim team had always been an outsider with the weakest political connections into the core of MGS, so even though the ESP business plan was much more sensible than most of the MGS products, it was the piece that ended up getting killed.

Worse than that.

This was relayed to me by someone who worked on the flight sim team.

So flight sim wasn't actually part of Microsoft game studio, they were in the middle of transitioning over when the shit hit the fan. The head of the organization that they were a part of (I forget what it was called), blocked the transfer so he could keep the flight sim team around as that org's sacrificial lamb to be laid off.

> I have all my games on Steam and I regret this a bit.

If you link your GOG and Steam accounts, some publishers allow GOG to give you access to the games you own on Steam on their platform :)
Huh, I didn't realize that
The article doesn't say a word about money printing which is probably the main story (along interest rates). The US has stopped printing money (and pretends it will shrink the Fed's balance sheet, though they still haven't started [1]). The ECB and BoE are still printing money. So mechanically USD goes up against both GBP and EUR.

Having tried Gluster, Ceph/Rook, and Longhorn, I strongly recommend Longhorn. Gluster is kinda clunky to setup but works, albeit with very little built-in observability. Ceph on its own also works but has some fairly intense hardware requirements. Ceph with Rook is a nightmare. Longhorn works great (as long as you use ext4 for the underlying filesystem), has good observability, is easy to install and uninstall, and has lower hardware requirements.

Its main drawback is it only supports replication, not erasure coding, which tbf is a large contributor to its ease of use and lower hardware requirements.
You need a special parser for Reuters headlines.

Nobody is refuting that there are not alternatives & solutions. Each of the pts are supported. It’s the shear scale of replacing conventional energy & we haven’t really dented its use.

This is from today’s James Kunstler blog:

The solar electric I installed on the house nine years ago is down. It’s supposed to feed that monster called the grid. Since April, I noticed that the electric bill is creeping up way beyond the usual seventeen bucks that the electric company charges home solar producers for the privilege of feeding their system — which, let’s face it, has a downside for them because the intermittency of so-called alt-energy disorders their operations.

Expensive timepiece today is the only way for a man to show off his wealth indoors in a relatively tasteful manner.

Woman can wear gold and diamonds on the neck, in the ears, on the wrists, on the lapel. She may carry a bag which costs thousands. Man can't wear any gold at all, except he is a rap star. He can't even wear cufflinks outside formal attire. Not sure about even a ring with stone. Maybe steel one with small diamond will not look extremely kitsch, but it is a big maybe.

Expensive low-key watch on steel or leather wristband is totally okay in almost any social situation. In case someone suddenly recognizes the brand - you always may say that it is a Chinese replica.

Not that I endorse that, just pointing out.

If not a standard, then at least a specification. This discussion is from 2020, so I'm not sure if it's still up to date:

"For the most part though, rustc itself is the spec" - so, for implementing the GCC frontend, read the current LLVM frontend really carefully and do everything the same way? And try to keep up with all the changes which will inevitably happen in the LLVM frontend while you are implementing the GCC frontend?
Section 2.1 specifically talks about the concerns including creating a monoculture, inhibiting competition and limiting innovation.
I made a decision years ago that I would stop buying things on steam and only buy them in GOG. It was hard sometimes - gog only got older games and definitely not the best of the newest titles.

I found that I would simply hold off on buying each new title for "a year or two" and if I wanted it still and it wasn't on gog I would buy from steam. I found that after "a year or two" I had no interest in it. I'm not sure why that is - likely psychological - but it kept me on gog.

So, I agree - gog is great. I appreciate them. But its hard for most to make that shift.

If their estimate is always shorter than yours, they can easily accuse you of sandbagging to meet your estimate.

A lot of bosses do that I think. They accept your estimates but internally they expect you to always be under the estimate. Accusations of laziness fly eventually if you are over estimate, or even meet your estimates consistently.
This florid critique really lifted my spirits, though.
Another related project is the libgccjit backend for rustc:

Good point. GOG Connect is great.

I haven't seen anything new offered to me in years, but I haven't bought from steam in years. Likely a correlation.

Thanks for bringing this up.
There's a $19B difference between Twitter's market cap and the agreed deal proceeds.

Twitter has to pursue receiving that-- either in consummation of the deal or adequate recompense. If their board doesn't, they'll be sued into oblivion by their own shareholders. It's do-or-die.

That doesn't mean, though, if they were offered a couple billion less for Twitter and were sure that Musk would then close... that they might not blink, rather than wobble $19B+ on a court case.

The problem is, a $2B discount on Twitter doesn't improve Musk's financial condition much or make the deal materially less stupid for him.

I said heated seats deliberately. They are much more energy efficient than cabin heaters and will keep you alive during a blizzard. If you're not appropriately dressed they won't keep you comfortable.

And if electricity prices surge then regulators aren't doing their job. The costs of renewable energy have been dropping dramatically and are expected to keep dropping. I do expect the price delta between peak and trough electricity prices to widen dramatically, but mostly due to the price of trough dropping.
It's much deeper than that... But honestly I don't think Western audience will appreciate the movie. It's such profoundly prophetic look at future of Russia after collapse of USSR.

I find these stories amusing as I weigh the negative effect of the reviews vs. the benefits of getting a story "trending" and assume this event ends up being a net positive for them.

I could see a sliding scale of consequence. Your one share gets you a fine. A lot of shares gets you some prison time and a bigger fine. Elon gets years and years and a fine that's a significant percentage of his net worth.

- Mailgun for sending app emails

C++ is wildly prolific, and yet it is under constant criticism. Most people in my experience (even C++ proponents) would agree that much of that criticism is reasonable, even if there's a subset of C++ that can be carefully used to create reliable software.

Go is odd in that its proponents seem to flatly deny any of the very reasonable criticisms levied against it. And they continue to do so right up until the moment that the language authors finally address them.

Agree to disagree I guess. Reuters clearly believes the story is that there was widespread use in Iran for at least two years after the sanctions went into effect and that Binance was aware.

Also, before loading the cargo into empty pre-cleaned compartments, each cargo hold first needs to be physically inspected so it's good to have an oxygen meter reading before you descend into the darkness with your gear using your expolosion-proof flashlight.

Otherwise it was typically required for one of the crew to fully enter beforehand to prove survivability.

Not as bad as a full oil tanker having strong H2S vapors when you open a hatch, emanating from wherever the crude is not completely sealed from the atmosphere.

Now the crude oil is a natural source of PAH compounds which of course the heaviest polycyclics are concentrated into the black fuel oils and asphalts, as the lighter hydrocarbons are removed in the refinery by distillation to largely become LPG, gasoline and diesel fuel. In the fuels the PAHs are mainly significant in the diesel-range products with bicyclics and tricyclics sometimes being prominent.

The toluene and benzene are monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Just as dangerous as a gasoline cargo, but you want to take better care of it because it's too expensive to burn.

As a reminder, often commodity vegetable oils and animal tallow are loaded into compartments previously containing benzene and things like that, and after the industrial chemicals were exported, the return trip will be with agricultural product. Vessel personnel recognize these strong solvents as leaving their cargo holds spotless after discharge, with no further serious cleaning required before expediting the next load.

OTOH in a good US port after these chemical tankers return and discharge the edible oils at nearby agricultural docks, we require some fairly extensive cleaning and verification before risking a load of sensitive chemical raw materials.
A common misconception is that GCC stands for GNU C Compiler, but it stands for GNU Compiler Collection. Perhaps why you did not realize ;)

I am reminded of James Thurber's short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." So much of my life has required just waiting, so daydreaming, people watching and hyper-focusing on my surroundings have become valuable skills.

Every one was easy to pick my preferred color until I got to 824268 and 199989. I honestly couldn’t choose which I preferred. I sat there for awhile trying to decide when the colors changed. Is it on a timer or did I accidentally choose one of the colors, even though I don’t think I did?
It's already "bogged down" - I described a direct concern. Brushing that aside is equivalent to saying the concerns don't matter.

Social security numbers were introduced for the sole purpose of administering the social security program. The protections on private entities abusing them were neutered, which is how we ended up with the backwards regime under discussion. People have a vague fear that social security numbers are important and shouldn't be casually shared, which is the only thing holding back (for example) grocery stores from demanding your social security number to get the regular prices.

If say the US issued everyone a cryptographic identity via a smart card, there would be little stopping every single business from demanding that you scan this card. Imagine needing to link your singular legal identity to every single online service, so they could better associate your surveillance records. Big tech is currently doing its best to accomplish this through phone numbers, but at least it's possible to get additional phone numbers.

This company was created because somebody that actually built a large could with Dell/Supermicro suffered years and years of pain.

If you do as you suggest you will have to do a whole lot more, at the minimum you need to set-up (and pay) VMWare.

Then you will need to figure out how you do automated firmware upgrades, low level monitoring and if security is a concern you likely want to configure secure booting with attestation and things like that.

Consider how much work it is to do what you suggest, vs buying this rack. And then consider how good (and repeatable) the end result is.

That is at least the theory, see:

I remember when I visited Paris and Germany I tried really hard to use the rudimentary language skills I had. The French always seemed too frustrated to slow down to the speed I could manage, and the Germans were just excited to have a chance to practice their English, and chide me (in English) about our invasion of Iraq. (admittedly this was almost 20 years ago, so things might be different now.)
You can "watch it grow" with uncle bens.

If with “AGI” you mean “the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...), not something (vastly) surpassing humans, and add “limited processing ability”, I don’t think AGI would be able to crack something we cannot crack with the 8-ish billions humans we have.

Also, many of the large problems we have (wars, climate change) aren’t intellectual but social, to start with.

When we started AllenNLP, PyTorch was just starting to emerge as a competitor to Tensorflow and we made the difficult decision to support PyTorch. In hindsight this was a great decision as the majority of top research is done in PyTorch today.

Tango primarily supports PyTorch, but unlike AllenNLP, is flexible enough to support other deep learning libraries as well. For example, we're adding support for JAX so we can easily leverage TPUs.
