>We have fairly trivial and absolutely universal problems unsolved for decades, while browsers get crammed full of features that aren't used by 99.9% of websites.

Why is this surprising? Universal problems are hard to solve otherwise it wouldn't be a universal problem in the first place. Add to that large numbers of groups will have their own set of opinions on what the best solution is, and it will conflict with some ideas.

You can check out the Youtube channel and Gitlab repos, they will tell you the work I have done so far.

This is not my full time project.
Almost certainly not. They'd have started prototyping the attack with small numbers, and once it started working, slowly scaling it up.
No, probably not.

Google already tries to do this with the info cards they put at the top of searches. But:

1. They often don't parse my search correctly, so the answer is not relevant to what I'm actually asking.

2. They struggle to pull out the correct information, so the answer is almost correct but off somehow (e.g. data from the wrong year).

3. They can't assess the reliability or appropriateness of sources, so they sometimes pick out very questionable answers.

(1) and (2) are hard NLP problems. (3) is even harder.

Given all you have is a landing page harvesting emails, I have very little reason to expect you'll do better than Google.
TikTok’s In-App Browser Includes Code That Can Monitor Your Keystrokes
Many mobility devices can move at speeds higher than pedestrian speed, but they can only effectively do that on a smooth surface that’s designed for it. (As shown in both of those videos.) This is especially beneficial for people who can’t drive.

But as to your question about ruined pavement unfit for a mobility device moving at pedestrian speed, that describes a nontrivial portion of the sidewalks near my apartment in Philly. (And that’s if you can even navigate around all the parked cars blocking the crosswalks and curb cuts.)

For sale: 8 hours/week of my time
I have a full time job as a software engineer that I enjoy. I work 4 10-hour days and have Fridays off. High inflation and increased expenses are driving me back into the job market looking for ways to supplement my income, but I don't want to fight for gigs on freelance platforms like Upwork.

Ideally I want a reliable project where I can invest 8-12 hours per week. One idea I had was to offer my services to companies looking to fill full time roles as a 'bridge' employee until they find their full time candidate (I could even participate in the interview process).

I guess I'm looking for a 'long term gig'. Am I nuts? Or is there a job board out there for companies/startups that need just a bit of extra help?
They are doing it for your own good. Cant you see

I just updated our "Nombas doesn't exist anymore" page, for readers of this nice and mostly-accurate article, with a little more background on why I think NASA chose it (tl;dr "robust and predictable"). <http://brent-noorda.com/nombas/us/index.htm>

BTW, it just occurred to me after writing that that one of the first customers to ever license our software, over the dozen years we were in business, used it to control a camera, while possibly our last customer (NASA) also used it to control a (much bigger) camera.

He was a participant in (delusionaly?) ratting people out to the secret police. I'll leave it to others to forecast a dystopia, he seems to forecast a dystopia he is trying to build.

What’s funny about this story is that Rabelo had the last laugh — the photograph is actually “Hyeres, France, 1932”, a famous photograph by the French photographer and “father of modern photojournalism”, Henri Cartier-Bresson. Made in 1932, the photo sold at auction in 2008 for a whopping $265,000.

This is like the time Michael Crichton submitted a famous story as a college assignment and only got a 'C'

It's a shame that the original live streams and clips, and the accounts that posted them, have been banned or deleted since then, but I know what I watched that day, and I know how police actually respond to a real riot.

January 6th was a bunch of people with unbreakable faith (some still even after) to a grifter of a magnitude not seen in this country for as long as I'm aware of. He told them to go to the capitol, and that he would go with them. I watched as a horde of people were practically escorted around, having barriers and gates opened up for them, and police allowing protestors to take selfies with them.

After that, the man who told his followers to go to the capitol couldn't even muster any support or pardons for them.

If you are going to say that there was no federal collusion here, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
No, but I did just now, and my comment still stands. You can note also the only comment on your most recent video calls this vaporware too.

It sounds like you're addicted to keeping in touch with work. I've been there and done that. This is a larger problem than vacations. It's a legitimate addiction likely rooted in some deeper issues.

I would suggest you start being stricter about work communication in general. Get work off your personal devices. I use an old phone as a secondary work only phone. Set some boundaries with this. Maybe don't take it out of your office at night. Or don't look at it after 7pm.

If you're anything like me, it probably takes you 3-5 days of vacation to fully unplug from work and relax. Imagine if you could relax this care free at the end of every day? This is what I'm talking about working towards.
Switches and routers sure- I've used it for things like that quite a bit- but I'd never put a server (even a 1U) in one. Ease of getting in and swapping parts is a huge factor.
ETW is not similar at all to DTrace, a fact explained in the README of the linked repository.

I am not privy to Microsoft's decision to port (and ship!) DTrace to Windows, but I would imagine its advantages compared to ETW had something to do with it...
I understand that our current society expects me to believe by default his wife's accusations of sexual assault, but are we also supposed to believe that he waterboarded her, as she alleged in a TEDx talk?

(I actually think he is likely an abuser, etc., and it seems like the 70k thing was in response to a lawsuit, but c'mon I really doubt he waterboarded anyone.)
Yes. I am actually a proponent of the sith kind of management style. You work with your boss. You work with your report. He works with his report.

I own a 4 person company. That is how we work. My clients talk to me (and sometimes my report -we don't isolate) I talk to my report about internal stuff and he decides if his report should be involved. Highly productive.
Light mobility sounds pretty good to me honestly. Though the term “micromobility” has caught on pretty well, so this may be a losing battle. :)

Oh god this hurts. The same sloppy arguing. Ok

I was talking about literature. You just expanded it a whole lot, which diffuses the point I was making. I don't think this is a tactic, I just don't think you can focus.

Nonethless, "It happens because our art and our philosophy [1] inspires our science and our engineering [2]" You conveniently assume [1] and [2] are divorced and each lies with two entirely divided castes. They are aspects of the same.

"Law, government, peace, prosperity, human rights, ethics. These things all spring from the humanities"

Oh lord. Law is from human nature. Desire for justice/fairness exists even in monkeys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg

Peace - this comes from humanities? Justify this.

ethics - nothing to do with law apparently, see above.

prosperity - nothing to do with science, right.

I've had enough of this crap. You can't debate, you don't want to look for common understanding. It's a kind of arrogance.
> Those stats were from early 2021, and they show the efficacy wasn't similar for Pfizer and Moderna. There's no current recommended 'best' as I stated, because there's no basis for saying which is best at this point, because the products fundamentally don't work. Also, that efficacy was about infection, rather than hospitalization/death, which we now know, the shots have essentially zero efficacy against infection.

Your own source shows at least one of these reduced hospitalizations upon infection, and reduced infection rates, compared to the other. How do you start with that data and then conclude "therefore they don't work at all"?

> We know they don't work because even Fauci himself, 4 doses in still got sick, and then had a rebound after paxlovid (which should have been entirely unnecessary if the vaccines worked at all).

I'm not sure you understand what the words "know" and "work" mean. Are you really claiming "if the vaccines worked at all" then anyone fully vaccinated would never get sick and, if they did, would never have severe symptoms? Is your understanding of the world truly that black and white that you think if something isn't 100% effective, it doesn't work "at all"? If so, I'm very sorry to tell you this, but the entire world might be terrifying to you, because nothing is 100% guaranteed. Ever. Nothing is 100% effective, ever. Everything in the universe is based on probability, not guarantees. Every medication you take, even prescribed by doctors to you while you're in the hospital, is based on how likely they are to be effective, and how effective they might be for you. Nothing is "all or nothing".

That's why statistical analyses exist and are a foundational part of science: we decide if things are true or effective based on their probability of working and the average effectiveness, not whether they solve a problem 100% of the time. Such a thing doesn't exist. Even poisons aren't 100% like that; that's why poison toxicity is measured in LD50, which is the amount that would kill 50% of people -- and leave 50% alive. Because NOTHING, not even arsenic or broad-spectrum antibiotics, are 100% effective at ANYTHING.
Right, and for some more detail, recent studies on cellular energy metabolism and epigenetics suggests that DNA damage may happen more often when you're eating or metabolizing. This is because, your cells tend to reproduce when it has available food, and in order to reproduce, they need to make a copy of your DNA, and so it must open up structures and read your DNA to make a copy of the DNA. However, DNA is at greater risk of being damaged/corrupted (from chemicals like those in smoking, or food itself) when this process is occurring because the DNA is open for access, rather than being in an otherwise mostly packaged/protected state.

Why would you know that?

They used an Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630v2, it's in the paper. What if in the process of crafting the attack on their old workstation PC they found that it was seemingly possible to do low key sizes very quickly and scaled up from there to a practical attack. Or maybe they have quite the competency in Mathematics and realized their attack was not that computationally expensive.

>Ran on a single core, the appended Magma code breaks the Microsoft SIKE challenges $IKEp182 and $IKEp217 in about 4 minutes and 6 minutes, respectively. A run on the SIKEp434 parameters, previously believed to meet NIST’s quantum security level 1, took about 62 minutes, again on a single core. We also ran the code on random instances of SIKEp503 (level 2), SIKEp610 (level 3) and SIKEp751 (level 5), which took about 2h19m, 8h15m and 20h37m, respectively.

The assumption that “is associated with” is the same as “causes” is also rampant. It’s good to be reminded that causation could flow either way, or that a third thing could be the causative factor.
Do we have evidence that people who maintain a healthy weight do so primarily because of social pressure? I'm genuinely asking because I don't actually know that that's true. Most of the people I know of a healthy weight actually don't have a lot of shame about their bodies. In fact the most internal shamed people I know are either fat people or unhealthily thin people??
> "one coin, one vote."

I think we are in agreement, but if we try to play devil's advocate to ourselves :)

There are tasks you can conceivably determine some thresholds:

You pick up 10 bushels of apples a day, you "meet expectations". You pick up 15, you "Exceed expectations". You pick up 5, you "need to improve".

But again, I will make an argument that these are curved as well, it's just that curving was done previously and on large data sets.

You can establish seemingly absolute criteria in software - from seemingly hard numbers (line of code, programs deployed, tickets closed, IRs in prod after deployment, etc) to softer numbers (are your comments good, is your code maintainable, etc). But again... how do you come up with these numbers? Either you make them up, in which case they'll have to be adjusted based on reality of your actual developers, or they're based on previous experience, in which case it's the reality and curve of previous developers.

Ans it turns out the way this was implemented didn't really works well. There just isn't a universal format that you can generate the list and upload it to server/cdn/whatever. No one ever figure out how to actually use this list to generate a http2 server push from a common platform/cdn.

The alternative (Service worker/<meta> preferch/preload tags) on other hand are much easier to handle although have one extra round trip. Because they are just text files that you need to upload to the server.
Talking to a therapist isn't a bad idea. For me, I discovered that my workaholism was based on an insecurity where I felt a need to constantly prove my worth through work successes. Working on that with a therapist was one of the most life changing things I ever did.
> Saying the 4800U in a NUC uses power X, therefore all 4800U's use power X is flat out wrong.

If the TDP is only configurable up to 28w, but they're pulling almost 70w total system power (when there's simply no other real power users in the entire system), then there's a serious problem with their default "average" power usage not respecting TDP in any real way.

A lot of AMD laptops have historically dropped 30+% of their performance when you unplug them (a notable example would be the MS Surface 4s) so they can look better than they really are as reviewers tend to be lazy about this and test performance while plugged in then do a rundown test to push out a "review" within the couple day window they can still make ad money.

Comparing to other Zen 3 chips (I've gone into that elsewhere in this thread), top-binned EPYC uses 4-4.5w per core to do 2.45GHz base clocks (that's 32-36w for 8 cores at ~2.5GHz while they claim base clocks of 2.7GHz). If you lower that max TDP even further, those clocks go down even farther.

I disliked when Intel started going with TDP as a recommendation rather than a limit 15 years ago. I disliked when AMD followed suit so they wouldn't seem to be at a disadvantage (well, at less of a disadvantage as they were getting crushed at that time). I dislike the M2 Air which throttles back rather quickly.

The only good thing in recent times has been Intel's 12th gen adding a peak power consumption metric (no doubt because the difference between that and their normal TDP would have basically guaranteed a lawsuit).

> Why are you using peek instead of average?

Many (most) benchmarks are short-lived, but people infer long-term performance from these.

If a chip is getting N marks at 60w, long-term performance where power adjusts down to 30-40w isn't going to be anywhere close to that number.

M1/M2 when actively cooled can run at peak clocks/performance all the time. This means that performance expectations are in line with what reviews show. This is good for consumers (and they need to be more upfront about the air thermal throttling).
Mu-opioid agonists have positive prosocial effects as do other GABAergics such as kava and alprazolam.

How about the prosocial effects of low doses of ketamine or other NMDA antagonists such as PCP and dextromethorphan?

Perhaps I'm anti alcohol because you can get the exact same effect from compounds with better risk profiles. Alcohol is a very old drug with a lot of risks compared to the benefit. It hammers so many different receptors, the off target effects are nuts and that's not even mentioning the risk from the toxic metabolite acetaldehyde.

There's no reason to use ethanol with so many better options for the same behavioral modifications.

Yours doesn't even support the D language, which is the most useful part of DTrace.

Also it lacks the most important property of DTrace -- safety. With DTrace you can't crash the machine. Unless I am misunderstanding something, your code doesn't have this property.
it was a cool idea, but i don't remember even seeing it implemented in spdy which is where i believe it came from.

> Not fond of these metrics. Feels easy to gamify and hack. I can just push commit a when it's more mature, good I improved the metric, but reduced tinkering, collaboration with devs and product and probably released a subpar solution.

This is not gamed/hacked -- it's the metric working as designed. It is meant to measure purely how fast you can get commits into production. If you have found a way to do that faster, then the metric should increase to reflect that.

So there are two aspects of the problem: are you delivering fast, and are you delivering something valuable?

The delivery lead time doesn't even pretend to measure whether you're delivering something valuable. You need a different metric for that. And in your example, that would go down by your practise.
> On typical distributions, none of the system libraries use DT_HASH, not even core libraries such as libgcc_s.so.1. Any tool that performs symbol lookups needs to support DT_GNU_HASH these days.

It seems to me that EAC includes its own copy of a dynamic linker for the express purpose of validating that glibc functions are not obviously detoured in the current process.
It is, relatively speaking.

Those are the exact same maximum penalties for a single count of wire fraud. It's more lenient than the penalty for growing 50-99 marijuana plants (same jail time, fines go up to $1M) or selling 50-99kg of marijuana (same penalty as the cultivation). On the high end of the scale, sale or cultivation of marijuana includes life in prison.

Relative to other less serious crimes (in my opinion), this does seem fairly lenient. There aren't even mandatory minimums on it, unlike drug charges.
