There’s a few areas where paper is vastly superior:

Doesn’t require power to operate

The tactile experience is top notch, and makes for fast seeking in the book

You can sell or lend the book without permission from someone else

Edit: also books don’t have dynamic tracking or affiliate links or scams for getting you to buy something - this is more apropos to websites. Still though, I hear people say that long form is dead and internet video/short form, or even blogs is the way real knowledge is passed on.

seems to be a dup, but more comments in this post

Because they _want_ it to be true.

I've made a good amount of "enemies" debunking common bullshit believed about technology at table discussions. People just love believing we already have SkyNet but our governments have it by the balls, and the utopian future is juuuuust around the corner.

They believed that for _decades_ now. Wish I was joking.

But the modern AI / ML folk is very much to blame as well. Every 0.01% improvement in cat recognition NNs is hailed as the solution to all our problems.

(Not to mention peer review rings where AI "papers" with zero reproducible experiments get applauded and published with almost zero scrutiny. There were a few articles about it on HN as well.)

All of that certainly doesn't help for the general public to have the right info.

The public discourse about the capabilities of technology really needs a bit more conservative revisit that must temper expectations. Especially having in mind that a lot of technology actually can achieve much more than it does right now... but is stymied by politico-economical and social factors, like 90% of the time.
Loss of Smell from Covid-19, Cognitive Problems Linked
I haven't seen any decent articles on this (doesn't mean there aren't any) that mention anything besides most basic flags.

Have a gander at the comment I linked (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29976096).

Probably the easiest way to start is to create your unit file as usual, copy the list from the comment into it, and then run:

$ systemd-analyze security unit-name

It prints a huge list of suggestions along with a short description of each one. Look up their names in here:

$ man systemd.directives

and look at the man linked there. Usually it's one of

$ man systemd.exec
$ man systemd.resource-control

I think the starter list should get you 95% there (I use it for most applications with minor variations in paths and flags like MemoryDenyWriteExecute that breaks JIT compilers).

---

If you want to keep your configuration as short as possible, the list with the most bang for your buck would look something like this:

User=non-root-username

# disable privilege escalation through SUID binaries
NoNewPrivileges=yes
CapabilityBoundingSet=

# removes access to /home
ProtectHome=yes

# makes most paths read-only
ProtectSystem=strict

# opens read-write access only to paths your application needs
ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/foo /var/lib/bar

If your application follows FHS and writes stuff to /var/whatever, prefer:

RuntimeDirectory=appname
StateDirectory=appname
CacheDirectory=appname
LogsDirectory=appname
ConfigurationDirectory=appname

instead of

RuntimeDirectory=/var/run/appname
StateDirectory=/var/lib/appname
CacheDirectory=/var/cache/appname
LogsDirectory=/var/log/appname
ConfigurationDirectory=/etc/appname
Nobody seems to get the idea of building software out of pieces with well defined APIs any more </rant>. I would say it's not possible to build large software without adhering to this principle but I seem to be proven wrong. You can build large poor quality software and just throw more people at it.

The other part about team dependence is very true but it also shows a lack of knowledge/thinking/care by whoever formed the teams. It seemed for a while Amazon had things right both in terms of boundaries of teams and in terms of forcing people to use APIs- not sure what they do these days.
Serverless is never cheaper than running on your own machines once you hit any scale. Just cheaper to start with. They want to hook you in so when you scale you pay them the big bucks.
I prefer when programs listen for SIGQUIT… it makes more sense that this would be used to quit a process then SIGINT - IMO …
Their service scope is waaaay too broad, no reason to be responsible for quasi banking services, traffic fine payment, and utility payment processing.
Zip codes are easy to fix.

What’s painful is when a file has phone numbers and excel helpfully converts them all to scientific notation.
yes indeed, accusation vs counter accusation is a part of war. I'm a little surprised we (meaning everybody) are generally not able to raise our skepticism to the level required by the cynicism of info-ops, but perhaps we will always believe what we prefer rather than what might actually be happening
> once viable homomorphic encryption rolls out

It should be noted that there is currently no reason to beleive homomorphic encryption will ever be fast enough to be applicable for anything except niche problems that require the utmost secrecy for tiny amounts of computation.

It would be great if some improvement is found that would speed it up, but there is no reason to beleive such an improvement must exist.
This is still a far cry from a global nuclear winter or a deliberately redirected asteroid, or any other number of things that only humans are capable of.

IMHO, it's a better contract with frontend apps than REST, but you have to be mindful of the backend implementation and the shape of the GQL schema more or less matching your DB schema.
I totally agree with that, but I was responding to this statement:

which is wrong.
I hope not - for projects with any complexity, knowing I’ve got a checkpoint means I don’t need to think hard about doing risky things. I wonder if Microsoft keeps stats on how many Office users use auto save.

RANK is a good example of a useful less known window function. Please also consider dense_rank and row_number. All 3 have their advantages and disadvantages... (Rank leaves holes after rows with the same order, dense_rank gives consecutive numbers, row_number just numbers the rows.)

One can exercise tremendous change over ones self, but one cannot redefine ones relationship with society since relationships aren't one-way. That's always going to be a potential source of friction.

Isn't 'text files' alone enough? I haven't seen anyone not deal with documents in their entire life unless they can't read.

It doesn't really matter if user understand how file in computer works or not. You still get the same conclusion even you think them as physical file.

I give you a piece of paper, and you give me back when you come again. What's wrong with that?
Worse approach imo.

Nowadays a full stack dev is an intermediate Fe dev, with junior backend skills. He will make your backend un-maintainable. Get a proper master on a proper contract rate to design your architecture.
Raspberry pi serial numbers have a lot of zeros and when migrating device management solutions w/ a CSV set up in Excel we lost a lot of time from serials getting mangled like this.

I've used OpenBSD as my desktop OS for the last 10 years or so. I agree it's probably not the ideal desktop OS for everyone, but I think your dismissal may be a bit too strong.

You do need to be sure your desktop machine is well-suited for OpenBSD. This means supported Intel or AMD graphics (Nvidia won't work well if at all, and not all AMD will either) and network/wifi card.
> The bombs might sometimes be expected to hit the earth from a great height and then detonate, after all.

I'm under the impression that this is not how aircraft-carried nuclear bombs would be detonated. The Little Boy detonated at Hiroshima did so 580 meters from the ground.
Hijacking this rambling on Adobe, to try and get some visibility for this issue:

To substance designer users, Adobe is about to *shut down substance share* with all its shared graphs, materials, textures and tools alongside it, they will not port any of these graphs onto the new monetized platform they made, and newly added tools on that platform will be locked off for learning as they are stored on the innacessible sbar format rather than the open format of sbs

They will shut down substance share on September, so if you want to keep local copies of tools stored there, it is now or never to back it all up

For reference to non-substance users, all of the info above was corroborated after a lot of discussion with adobe's lead product management, they will do it anyway, no matter what, there's nearly a decade worth of collective knowledge in that repo, and yes, they will nuke it anyway because it can't be easily monetized
With nuclear, efficiency really doesn’t matter that much. It’s not the cost of the fuel that matters almost at all, it’s the cost of the reactor itself. The cost of the fuel and the efficiency of using that fuel is really a secondary cost compared to building the reactor in the first place, and operating the reactor with people
They don't, because unlike Ubisoft, they're mostly a middleman. They run the marketplace for other game vendors and so they have reputation to uphold. However, Ubisoft is primarily a game developer, so there is a moral hazard of them screwing you.

We all hate middlemen but this shows why they're needed (in the absence of regulation).
Linux has SELinux, which is enabled by default in RHEL and derivatives.

You could literally hand out root shell to people, and they wouldn’t be able to make much mess out of it.

There are SELinux policies to prevent disabling selinux too, of course.

You probably wouldn’t even need chattr.
> I still have the right to quit because the owner is a racist outside of work.

If you've not signed a contract involving this (morality clause etc), then... do you, legally?
I suggest you tell this to the author, not to me :P
It’s really interesting - we’ve seemingly given up on curation and discovery on the internet. There’s just too much spam and scam to really make it work. Take your average recipe website: it includes multiple paragraphs of irrelevant “background story” to delay you seeing the recipe for more ad views.

Whereas books and libraries have none of that cruft. If you want to learn something the library (or bookstore) is a much better place - the books don’t come with dynamic ads and affiliate links to encourage you to buy something.
You can easily build export templates for any platform by yourself. My phone doesn't run Android, but a regular aarch64 GNU/Linux distro.
A lot of people are suggesting being cordial. For example, "thank you for the request but we cannot handle it at this time". This works for the usual people asking for feature requests but your problem is not so simple.

If you have a persistent requester you can still be professional but far more firm. I would personally say something along the lines of "I have noticed you making a lot of requests. I do not have time to handle them all, but I would be happy to discuss a support contract with you or your company billed at my hourly rate if you need additional support".

Usually demanding money and then ignoring them is enough to either convert them into a customer or get them to buzz off to someone easier to pick on. Since this isn't your case - they won't pay at all - you can be more firm. I don't use github but if it's possible just flat out block them. You could additionally just reaffirm that given the frequency of their requests you would normally service this with some kind of contract and then ignore them.

The key take away is never give someone who exploits you the chance to take advantage of your kindness. It's at these points you need to be firm. Otherwise they will continue to harass you.
Alright as expected then, Nvidia thing a bit unexpected. So, people do not do ML on FreeBSD?
I will eagerly await the new kex and keytypes, and will be sure to sysupgrade.

I will be very curious if the default kex shifts away from NTRU-Prime.

I might also point out that crystals-kyber was coequal to NTRU-Prime at the time that you set your new default kex.

I trust that the changelog will have a detailed explanation of all the changes that you will make, and why.

I will "ssh-rotate" whatever you decide.

I have no ML experience so tell me if I’m wrong here.

The argument is that Transformers spend most of their compute finding this language subspace. Once the subspace is found, it’s very easy for it to add words/phrases/etc to the model.

What this is proposing is that we should try to find a better way to represent this subspace.

We have no idea how to represent it at the moment. But maybe transformers can help us with figuring that out.

Not really because a huge feature of hygiene is accurate symbol provenance for syntax error reporting. syntax-case (syntax-parse for Racket) lets you do anything a Common Lisp like macro system can do but is still hygienic by default.
thank for you the pressing the case. My assessment of this report is that it shows two possibilities - Ukraine are deliberately endangering their own population, perhaps to incur PR benefit should a Russian strike be successful, or applying practical considerations which we can only speculate upon - easier to deploy from location rather than 'densely wooded' areas, for example.

Either way, my basic position is that this is likely to be a reluctant decision, forced upon the Ukrainians by an uneven contest.
I think 'death' is a misnomer here. It doesn't kill it so much as force you to acknowledge and face it.

I'd say it 'dies' during the trip as it is ripped from you. In my experiences however it took quite a dose to achieve that.

To me the folks warning to be careful about stress and things you avoid facing when tripping hard are dead-on.

Mushrooms have a way of cleansing the mind and soul, but that's if you are lucky,and you'd best be ready for it.

Usually it's just some cool visuals and good feelings.
I understand your metaphor in the sense that The Matrix is a scifi adaptation of the allegory of the cave. The concept that commercial/online bookstores are where items worth finding will be found is like thinking the shadows of the cave are the only thing worth seeing. You are correct, there is so much content there be found, which isn't limited/controlled by what the big market values.

Additionally those are very good points about English and streaming. There are books out there which are not translated and not digitized, which are absolutely worth reading, and will not be found anywhere besides private collections, used bookstores, flea markets, estate sales. Some of these books were originally purchased long ago and/or far away, just because they are not popular enough to be easily found does not mean they are not worh finding.
A (good) public library may also scratch a lot of the same itches: you can browse the stacks, they sometimes have events and "staff picks", etc.
I would argue there is great cognitive harm in anthropomorphizing. And it very much does not simplify anything, quite the opposite.

I do believe the notion of metaorganisms is useful. A human can be considered an emerging metaorganism formed from millions of cells of various origin including human, bacteria, viruses, giruses, parasites, etc.
We are also possibly part of larger metaorganisms, probably in the form of cities. And the entire planet can be considered a metaorganism. Terraforming another planet can be interpreted as a planet having offspring.

Arguing for the existence of metaorganisms is not the same as arguing that the mataorganism is aware and influences its own internal processes affecting its lower level member organisms. You (your conscious self) do not tell your kidney what to do.

Natural selection is very much not self aware and it is not trying to achieve an end goal, much less so a goal with regards to humanity. Nature has not "thought" neither ahead nor behind nor to the side of us.

From Wikipedia:

"The Gaia hypothesis proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet."

Do not confuse the Gaia hypothesis with a Gaia god. By anthropomorphizing that is what you do. Gaia does not answer your prayers, nor hear them, nor care for them.

I consider, anthropomorphizing to be the root mechanism at the formation of all religions. Humans were exposed to uncontrollable phenomena. In their attempt to influence them they anthropomorphizied the phenomena. As a result they could attemp to bargain with it, plead with it, threaten it, beg it, blame it, thank it, etc. . We have just repurposed the neural pathways used to communicate with other humans in order to communicate with the environment. Probably for the same reason a nerural net will missrecognise a leopard print sofa as a leopard. The unknown, unpredictability, is more terrifying than anything else, and definitely more terrifying than being wrong. Anthropomorphizing is also one of the things that will stand in our way towards developing AI. We will continue to redefine intelligence in order to maintain human exceptionality.

I believe anthropomorphizing is fundamentally wrong.
Putting passwords in a database, and that database behind some kind of service that allows queries, is a stupid mistake that can be implemented with SOAP, CORBA, a remote shell, or any other protocol or API style.

I don't think GraphQL makes the problem worse except by encouraging experimentation by putting an unusually powerful query language in the hands of the users

Why would we have to hold Excel to higher standards?

Now, that Excel stores binary floats, but tries to pretend to use decimal ones, that’s something I think we can blame it for.

Yeah, the number of BSD CVEs just boils down to the fact that nobody cares about BSD. Since nobody cares about it, its performance is also very 20-years-ago and doesn't stand up to modern linux performance. You could expect database performance (e.g. postgresql) to be 2-4x higher on linux under a highly concurrent load. There are thousands of full-time professionals around the world focused on linux performance and the applications are co-evolving to work best on linux so you can't expect cutting-edge speed from freebsd.

There's probably a niche for freebsd but unless you know exactly what it is and how to exploit that niche, you're not going to find it by accident.
i'm just gonna press X to doubt on this one
That approach seems overly prescriptive and is certainly overkill for creation and day-to-day use of non-critical words. For a word to be used widely, it has to go through a process of adoption.

Individuals around the world are still mostly allowed to use (or not) any word they choose. It may look like patchwork to you, but the importance of etymology of a word takes a backseat to its ability to successfully convey meaning.
This reminds me of a story of a geocoder (postal address search) which was found to frequently fail in NYC. When they debugged, they found addresses in east Manhattan (e.g. 100 E 61 St) were being converted to scientific notation.
The comments got me wondering about what a cookie can actually contain so I looked it up. A cookie can "include any US-ASCII character excluding a control character, Whitespace, double quotes, comma, semicolon, and backslash." Browsers typically restrict length to 4096 bytes. So "small text file" seems like a reasonable description. (The interesting distinction is text vs binary.)

I really can’t think of a reply but “LOL”…nothing can replace physical bookstores and libraries in particular are still very important. They provide a place to get books/newspapers/magazines for those who can’t afford an e-reader. Libraries also provide internet access to those who can’t afford it. I hope you go to your local library, get a card, and make use of the services they provide. I think it would be a great experience for you.
I think incorrectly paraphrasing someone that misleads the conversation is insulting, perhaps that is a personal feeling of my own.
Yes, but fake cards were such a problem it moved the entire card industry to chips. And also, if the friendly fraudster claims fraud or that it wasn't them, the shift stands.

I'd also argue that friendly fraud is just as if not more egregious than fraud fraud.
I think both brains and ML in practice "solve equations". The main thrust of machine learning is using linear algebra as a universal function fitter. Sure, the state space may be transformed in interesting ways and the overall process may be relatively opaque, but you could easily end up with the quadratic formula in there.

The equations may be very strange from the point of view of the underlying physics/kinematics problem. There's a lot of representations of the problem that fit well and may map better to what our perceptions see and the level of precision that our muscles need.

And it's likely very messy--- we don't have some clean, nested set of controllers here, but strange ways that many kinds of feedback are combined.
