The FBI paints themselves in a negative light, over and over and over again. It really shouldn't surprise anyone that an institution that from the very start was doing backwards crap (just look at everything the FBI did to MLK and the civil rights movement).

There's no need to bring in outside influence to think negatively of the FBI - they've done it to themselves and if anything deserve far more scrutiny than they get.
Which is deeply interesting to people who want to run Asahi Linux on an M2.

I found the data compelling--M2 silicon under Linux is generally competitive against contemporary strong x86 laptops, but if you are sensitive about the performance of a particular workload, choose your device carefully.

This can always be claimed about anything, both ways.

Look at the other evidence in appeal. (The defendant is appealing [1].)

Last I checked, the testing strategy was „all maintainers’ computers should be on the nightly build and report bugs/crashes they experience”.

I wonder how Microsoft does this with Windows? A friend of mine worked on Intel GPU drivers and they had entire farms of PCs where the tested driver would be installed on top of fresh Windows installation. For kernels, you’d probably need something like that, but times a thousand…
this is very cool. the apple m2 is now at the point where the Phoronix test suite is running on it ?

We are very close to the Apple M2 being the best Linux laptop right ?

You handle it in appeals, and the appeals court looks at the balance of the evidence weighed against the alleged exculpatory evidence and makes a decision?
Periodic Table diagrams emphasize patterns in electron clouds, chemistry, over nuclei. The nucleus valley of stability is more easily seen in a nuclide chart. I wish I knew of better ones, but here are two interactives[1][2] and a slide[3] for research context. FWIW.

I've wondered if atoms might be taught less unsuccessfully in primary by focusing on nuclei. Little balls, easily visualized, with only two constituents. And behaviors like stable numbers which preview electron behavior. And only then, with a firm and stable place to stand, take on electron clouds' manifold wackiness and the zoo of chemistry.

One reason is that it’s a part time job to manage one and a full time job to manage 4.

Generally people put a part time job on the back burner and focus on the main full time job.

There's a lot of comments here suggesting this is a narrative from FB/Snap, but it really isn't. I was previously able to target adverts directly to the tiny audience of potential users of my product, and the return on those adverts was nearly 10x.

Overnight it entirely evaporated as a source of new customers and I don't know how I'd build a niche business again without it.

Advertising gets a bad rap, but I like to believe I am providing value to my customers and they wouldn't have found my product otherwise. Who was hurt?
I think you meant Strzok, NOT Strozk. Did you read his book? Actually great read. Dude, like anyone else had his own opinions, unless you believe FBI agent are cyborgs and have no right to be humans, have their own personal opinions, etc. and was sharing it with his private connections. He was on a power trip but there was no power that he could actually use to corrupt. Hence, even if he said he will stop Trump for winning, as you know - he did not do so, because he way just showing off. I'm not defending him as a decent FBI agent, seems he was not, but also his position like many other people (Clinton, Soros, etc) has been blown out of proportion by Maga/Alt-right.
To illustrate how far this discussion is from PKD's frame of reference, PKD didn't need encryption when VALIS used a pink laser beam from space to trigger anamnesis so he remembered that he was a secret Christian in ancient Rome, and also predicted that his son would suffer from an inguinal hernia.

In case that wasn't clear enough, PKD wasn't talking about what you're talking about.

Odesa Is Defiant. It’s Also Putin’s Ultimate Target
I'm all for criticizing hypocrisy, especially in government, but the COVID example strikes me as perhaps the worst possible for demonstrating the point. Some level of "draconian" action would have helped slow, or even stop, the spread of COVID-19; at least in the US, none was taken.

A far better example, which actually involves surveillance rather than unrelated masking and distancing measures, would be politicians and wealthy businesspeople pushing invasive CSAM detection systems into consumer devices "for the good of the children" while schmoozing with Jeffrey Epstein.

Typical faff from Unherd; a long article full of information better explained elsewhere followed by a poorly veiled gesture towards their existing agenda.

It isn't irrelevant. There are active efforts by right-wing politicians and talking heads to discredit the FBI. I think legitimate discourse is good and am happy to have it, but cherry picking things to simply push an agenda doesn't help.
Trump fans want to get rid of the FBI because they served a warrant against Trump for violations of the Espionage Act and raided Mar-A-Lago.

That's literally it. As long as the Feds were just cracking the heads of black protestors and snatching brown people up out of their beds, Trumpists were hard-core thin blue line. But the Feds dared disturb their oshi and now the same Trumpists have gone full #ACAB

It's basic fascist ideology - loyalty to the leader above all, and belief that the leader is above the system.
How much would you pay per month, reasonable?

$10 a month is kind of reasonable given you need a cluster of GPUs to service the requests. The cheapest single GPU capable of responding relatively fast at the same performance of OpenAI is about $275/month. So basically 30 users at $10 a month just to break even on that cost. However, that GPU could probably handle only half dozen users, and 6 < 30. I could use cheaper older 1080ti but the response time/latency is going to be slower than copilot. And the electricity costs are now 4x.

I work with language models and build SaaS. If you can help me figure it out, I could build a solution for you.

The only angle I can think is charging $100-500/month, but for an ultra fine-tuned version specific to a framework tailored to a "no-code" crowd.
Copilot isn't designed for people that aren't knowledgeable, it's designed for people that are knowledgeable but want to write code faster. When it comes to boilerplate or unit testing, I've found copilot to be invaluable given the price. From my limited perspective if I can save 15 minutes a month with copilot, the tool has paid for itself.
I turned them down after an interview in around 2000/2001 (they started out in London). The reason was that the idea seemed completely useless to me and I thought they'd never make a business out of it :-)
They wouldn't, but until recently they provided explicit functionality that allowed apps to access a persistent identifier so advertising SDKs in those apps could link activities happening in between apps, something that's not normally possible due to app sandboxing.

Now they've made that identifier explicitly opt-in (it prompts the user on first run) so if the user declines, advertisers have to fall back on probabilistic methods such as heuristics to try and link sessions together (which is harder especially if other countermeasures such as anti-fingerprinting, IP anonymisation with Private Relay, etc are used).
The contradiction appears there, in the abstract of his paper. He realized that greenhouse gas physics should trap warmth and CO2 was going up, but accepted that the world had actually been cooling for decades. So how could he explain this contradiction? He presented a hypothesis that maybe it was a volcano-related natural phenomenon, in which cooling caused by volcano exhaust was offsetting the warming effects of CO2, and that over time CO2 would overpower volcano cooling to create rising temperatures. But it was just a guess.

The main reason this is important is for the meta-level issue of what claims about consensus really mean. Newsweek didn't really care if the world got colder or warmer, they just wanted to sell papers. Mitchell wasn't misrepresented by the article nor me, as defrost claims. The article doesn't even quote him, it simply cites temperature data from one of his studies as a way to establish what trends existed at the time. Newsweek does so accurately because that's exactly what Mitchell's data did show, as my citation of his paper establishes. By Mitchell's own words, in 1975 the world had not only been cooling for decades but was still cooling!

Now defrost might argue that the Newsweek article was deceptive because, in fact, there was at least one scientist who rejected the "ice age doom is imminent" consensus as irresponsible. Indeed, claims about consensus are always very dubious for that exact reason, it's so rarely true. By 1975 there were certainly more than just Mitchell! But a Newsweek reader of the time couldn't have known that. They were being told that scientists in general believed in global cooling. Indeed nobody could deny the world was cooling, as that's clearly what the facts showed, so you'd have been a cooling denier if you'd said otherwise. If anyone had objected by raising Mitchell as a counter-example they'd have been told he was fringe, that his theories were outside the mainstream, that he was delaying action to prepare for the ice age and that even he accepted long term global cooling was real!

It can all be very confusing because to learn anything from this, you have to learn to doubt what you "know" is right based on what a handful of people have told you other people believe. Which is hard! But there's an even more confusing meta-level issue. Look at modern graphs of temperature:

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/

Look at the period between 1940 and 1975. The cooling Mitchell was writing about, that Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, that so many academics researched and reported on, that governments funded investigations into, that people proposed covering the Arctic with coal dust to fight - it's gone. The graph is flat. According to modern climatologists the cooling trend Mitchell was trying to explain with volcanos never existed at all ... and anyone who says otherwise is a malicious liar.
The existence of severe cases does not mean less severe cases don't count.

> OS virtualization relies on re-exposing the hardware and kernel primitives to VMs, no VM is reimplementing the Intel architecture for memory management, for example.

That's fair. But in the same way that the VM relies on that the host OS handles operations correctly, the kernel can assume the same, as long as there is a clean separation (so that one kernel doesn't influence the other).

Of course, if you have a bug in the (old/other) kernel that influences the tests themselves then that wouldn't work, but I would say that this probably makes up a very small minority of cases.

Just like if Intel runs tests for their CPUs on other CPUs and those other CPUs are buggy...

> Another hard topic. What's the output of a kernel

The kernel has an interface and if I ask it to write something and then read it back, I have an expectation about what happens. I don't need to care about the state of the kernel (neither should I) as long as the result is good. Only for certain performance-relevant things I can see that this might be a problem.

> and it'd still be impossible to test certain parts of the boot sequence

I'm neither a kernel nor a browser developer ;) but I would be interested in an example. You are probably right, but I fail to see what that would be.
Perhaps, but that would require legislative changes to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

It Was a Mystery in the Desert for 50 Years
90%+ of mortgage owners do not have enough cash.

Further, in most times MBSes are usually worth more than the debt - otherwise, modern banking wouldn't make any sense.

Mortgages issued in the last 2 years at ~2.75% are probably worth less than the debt now. So it might actually be the case for a lot of these loans.

That being said, the discount is not going to be anywhere close to 50%.

The difference in the discount would be evened out by the difference in the interest rate you'd have to refinance at almost exactly.

Considering the cost of refinancing, if you bought your own debt with some new debt from some new mortgage company - this would be a losing proposition for 99%+ of mortgages.
Not the OP, understand and largely agree with your reasoning, though assuming there was a preponderance of evidence, why would someone only destroy a fraction of it knowing that doing so would be irrelevant, their efforts if discovered would be counter to their goals, and they would face significant penalties for doing so?
The mortgagor likely is the highest bidder. They have the least amount of risk seeing as how it is their own debt, allowing them to pay more than others, and still brings free money when purchased at a discount.

Labour intensive, though. Packaging up many loans and selling it as a complete unit is far easier.

A few of these are good, but others remind me of that "How To Professionally Say..." list that was making the rounds a few months ago, which was actually a list of snarky, passive-aggressive and shockingly unprofessional phrases.

By all means, ask your interviewer good questions! But please don't say this:

"Does your code review process promote empathy?"

"Tabs or spaces?"

"Does the company provide snacks and/or drinks?"

Ugh.

When I was a junior engineer, I thought that the tools I used and the products I worked on mattered most. But now, after two decades, I can see that what actually mattered was the people I worked with. If you're interviewing, focus on the people you meet. Are they kind to you? If you had to correct a mistake of theirs, how do you think they would react? How do they interact with each other? Would you enjoy spending time with them? Do you feel like you might learn something from them?

Take these questions (from the article) and focus on the interpersonal parts:

* How do you estimate work?

* How often does your team interact with other teams?

* If we have a very successful year, what would that look like?

Some questions I would add:

* Can you tell me about someone who was promoted recently? Why were they promoted?

* Can you tell me about some feedback you gave someone? How did it help them?
Thank you; corrected.

First of all, your definition of tracking is different from the one used by Apple. Apple’s definition of tracking is sharing information about an identifiable person between unrelated parties. Think Facebook buying all your purchases from Mastercard. Apple simply does not do that.

Next, Apple’s cohorts and interest information about audiences is not nearly as detailed as Facebook or Google. And even at a far less detailed level, they have started asking users for permission to personalize in a modal. The other ad networks have never asked in that way.

It seems like you have a problem with how Apple personalizes ads, but that’s a different conversation than whether they track and if tracking without consent is acceptable.

Conventional mortgages didn't change in 2007 either.

Now I don't think we're about to see the black swan again. But its always the riskier-end of the market that reacts first. I think its important to keep an eye on the subprime / risky mortgages to get a feel on the market.

The current question is "demand destruction", from a combination of inflation and rising interest rates. If the real economy out there is truly getting worse, then these little issues will become more and more common.

Here's the 4800U running in a tiny NUC at over 60w and the 5800U running at almost 52w. They absolutely DO hit very high real power usage.

TSMC N5 only offers 15% performance OR 30% lower power vs 7nm. Peak clocks on the 6850U are 10% higher than the 5xxx generation AND is on N6 instead of N5 which offers a significantly lower advantage than what I stated. N6 offers an 18% reduction in area vs N7 while N5 offers a 45% reduction in area, so you can do your math from there.

I don't think it's fair to say that it's just process, Apple has invested very heavily in their core design and their perf/w + total perf is still unmatched by companies like AMD or Qualcomm on the same process node. It's certainly not a one-horse race but Apple is definitely has world class CPU design capabilities regardless of node.
This was a great episode, I came here to post it but you beat me. Have ordered the book which is published a bit later in the UK but I'm looking forward to reading.
It's a fair concern that ML model generates misleading definitions and statements which hides bugs and is hard to detect, but it also depends on how the user utilizes this kind of tools.

For any serious use case, before attempting to prove any statements, a responsible user should always carefully define any *top level statements* manually or hire a domain expert to write or review the definition.

Once we have high confidence on the definition of the top level statements, the user might start to break down the proving approach into a couple of auxiliary lemmas.

From this moment, they can freely play with machine generated code without too much safety concern, because:

* the ultimate goal is to prove the original top level statement, which is already human inspected;

* if the machine generates a misleading lemma, it won't help proving the top level statement, but it won't lead to a false claim as well, since the proof checker will reject any incomplete or incorrect proof.

The worst case is to be fooled by misleading lemmas and waste a lot of time exploring an unhelpful proof approach, which could be sad and costly but won't be a critical safety issue.

If ML assisted interactive theorem provers inspired by Lean Chat becomes productivity tools, users should be educated to always do their best to ensure the top level statement is exactly what they want to define, this should be an industry common practice. For critical usage, a theorem prover UI can even enforce this practice by disable auto code generation for top level statements.
It's weird how they focused on A Scanner Darkly, I thought Ubik was more prescient in the small part of the plot that corporations run the world and advertising for them is ubiquitous.

De-populating is good if it is done by giving people—especially women—greater agency over their own lives.

Across all human societies, improving access to education, employment, finance, and birth control are correlated with a) stronger economies and better standards of living and b) declines in population growth.

You don’t have to prevent people from having babies. You just have to let them choose what they want to do with their lives.
