Where reading PKD and absorbing his worldview ends and a career in infosec begins is incresingly vague. I've been in it since the 90's and tbh, sometimes I think cybersecurity is just a way of collecting undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenics and setting them against one another for sport. If it weren't, how would we know?

There is a great talk by him from about '77 where he outlines the basic idea that we are living in a simulation that became the basis for the plot of The Matrix movies, and the logic is pretty classic psychological disassociation and paranoia you get from using drugs over time. Not to diminish his huge contributions, but there's stuff that's right on the edge. One of the beautiful elements of the "Mr. Robot" series is that this underlying question is also a major plot point. You can see him in the video here (sorry, the better versions seem to haven scrubbed) https://youtu.be/_U6lgSbPj8Q?t=47 , and he's got the kind of blunted affect that is typically associated with decline. His book "Exegesis," which were the letters he was writing to people at the time are consistent with indications something was going wrong as well. When I was just learning synths and a new sampler over the pandemic, I produced a track from a live session with samples from the speech, albeit they were in reference to the "Computer Controlled" logo on the 303 bass synth I used in it: https://soundcloud.com/n-gram-music/exegesis , but I sampled just the best parts.

This is to say, neither PKD nor hackers concerned about surveillance dystopia today may have a reliable picture, as paranoia can be really enveloping. That said, of course that's what They would say - you can see how this becomes an inescapable spiral. Paranoia is the iterated logic of an idea and unless you uproot the foudational one, by virtue of perfectly reasonable and consistent logic, it's going to creep back.

Shazam is great but a similar app that really "wowed" me around 2007 was Midomi - it could recognise humming with good results, even though I'm really bad at hitting right notes and key. It still exist but is not really talked about anymore, Shazam seems to have dominated that market.
This echoes their previous neglect that led to the ads platform being abused by state actors to stoke genocides. They said that they only have time to focus on a shortlist of countries (basically an economic ranking). We evidently can't trust these orgs to be responsible or to address harmful neglect without public outcry and action to drive accountability or real change.
Why do you say "UI and UX"; how are they different in your view?

Jargon BS is invading people's heads and it has to stop.

That we’re ignoring all of the evidence that contributed to the case (and conviction, which was made after the wiped drive was discovered) outside one laptop?
The US passed similar laws, but at the time it was passed was the year 1970, when $10,000 was worth, inflation adjusted, over $70,000 and more than the median household income. They used the fact that the majority might have been against these laws but too apathetic to stop it as it was such an incredibly high value compared to what much of the public ever hoped to have in cash savings, to deceive the public into accepting a non-inflation adjusted figure that slowly tightens the noose to ever smaller and smaller transactions (inflation adjusted).
The appeal was denied. The evidence was available through other means and was ultimately ruled to be inconsequential.

> when the equivalent standalone one is $150.

There often aren't actual equivalents available in consumer, so it's hard to get an apples-to-apples comparison. Which isn't to say a consumer grade piece of kit won't be fine for your use, just that you aren't paying $500 vs $150 for "the same thing", rather the $500 one has a bunch of feature and/or component quality stuff you may not care about (and some extra margin, but nothing like 200% you suggest)
Not OP, but I think the Swedish TV streaming service has a simpler, while nicer UX (hope you can at least see this from your country, if not play the content): https://www.svtplay.se/

Admitedly, it follows the same pattern as Netflix, but I like how it's more responsive and feels way simpler/lighter.
What stops Reddit from being gamed like this? How does the "reddit <search term>" trick on Google return good results in a way that isn't being gamed?

I'm not saying it's as simple as adding an up/down vote widget next to each Google search result, but what can Google do to compete with social sites here where social sites have a lot of rich signals about what users prefer? There's no way to weigh or moderate each up/down vote based on how reliable the source is? What stops Hacker News, Reddit and Slashdot being overrun with spam from bot votes?
Same, and with just about every tech corp using it, it gets old rather quick.
> I don't think it's fair to call that wasted, as if the food produced in these wealthy nations could be transferred to the poor nations.

I don't think that's the claim. The claim is that the title implies that we've reached peak supportable population but because of the waste the USA's food production could support more population than it does. Nobody's getting mad at you for not sending your cheese rinds to Africa.
That’s true. That’s why is m against people with a 30% allocation on my team. Projekt Managers think you can just split a person’s work into parts but when somebody is allocated at 30% tk you, you actually get way less performance.
I bought a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 a few years ago as a secondary keyboard, and after two moves, still have yet to unpack my full-size MIDI keyboard.

NI markets the M32 as a controller designed to integrate with their software, but I don't even use any of it – the real selling point of the M32 is its build quality (and to a lesser degree, a rather nice default mapping in Ableton).

The M32's mini-keys have such a nice feel that when I bought a competing keyboard for use with my iPad, I had to return it because the NI had spoiled me. Everything else in the price range feels spongy and plasticky after using the M32.

I don't even use the encoders that much, but they too are significantly higher quality than the competition. Not only are they capacitive (touch a knob and the OLED display will show the name of the mapped parameter), they're higher resolution than most, meaning they're closer to the feel of analog potentiometers.

The only caveat is that you won't be able to use it with an iPad without an external power adapter, as the M32 requires more current than an iPad can supply by itself. Laptops are fine, however.
Yes, that's how the entire world works. You compete with others for the top spot.

You can either be a landlord or a renter. That is the system.
I have those tables as cheap quick tables (that can stack) for kids activities. Very nice for a quick surface / desk for the little kids.
Right, selling a property might actually be a fairly good application of this model, I agree - you shouldn't leave a property listed for too long, and together with the feedback from your agent you should get a meaningful estimate of how many offers to expect in that period.

I'd be curious to see the agent's reaction when someone actually implements that and flat out rejects all the first offers.
There is this - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

There's no evidence of the contrary from your side - drinking alcohol is like any abusing any other organic solvent, I can't imagine why anyone would presume it'd be any healthier.
> as long as both systems have their memory channels filled out and the workload fits in memory.

Those are big ifs. We don't know how much of those 8GBs were used, and how much swapping the OS was forced to do. But either way, it's a silly thing to have different.
TDD, as the top-most comment correctly points out <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32509268>, relies on having requirements against which to test, and as very best I can tell, requirements aren't "Agile" because (pick one:) (the users don't even know what they want || there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over)

>Could a facist nation (ie: Russia) be using our news to minipulate journalism (again)?

I would argue that it's similar to what happens with a lot of major stories. Something happens, then people start seeing it everywhere even if it was always there. They just talk about it more because it's the topic of the day.
I remember seeing more The Great War or The War to End Wars in post-WWI docs and media. Wikipedia says yes, it was WWI soon after the war, but that wasn't common yet.

I always liked CVS better than Subversion. Merging was easier, and admin could manually fix the repo, if you broke it. I think OpenBSD is still using CVS.

Git is better for distributed development and pushing to upstream via layers of review/approval.
The why can be really important though. We do X because Google does it, or something like that is often a red flag because they have some insanely convoluted process that they don't need. knowing that things are selected that fit the size and scale of where a company is or will be soon is important.
I have a keystep 37 and love it, and don't even use all of its features.

Wow, I did not expect to see my home town news KATV on the top of HN.
I think you're only going to see that benefit if, as mentioned you have a super precise oven, or you're getting super precise ingredient quality every time.

Otherwise there's too many variables fluctuating every time to really attribute much to those tiny variations in the recipe.
There could be a point of an economy of scale, which is not explicitly mentioned in the article.

While I can "come by" managing just one person (cutting the managerial corners), for 4 persons I need to organize myself more efficient.

Technology Deep Dive: Building a Faster ORAM Layer for Enclaves
The first time I heard of Shazam was on a road trip with a friend of mine who had minimal tech skills at best. I was already 10 years into my career as an engineer, and when he told me about it, I honestly didn't believe him; I was positive he was mistaken, and speculated it was a service similar to Aardvark[1], which was a peer-to-peer information engine.

I was wrong, of course, Shazam really did live up to its hype. I think it's interesting that the someone knows about how a technology works the more sceptical they are of what it is capable of.

Each Pi, NVMe, switch has it's own PSU/VRM units.

That's about efficency of power conversion and power management.

It would be interesting if the authour measured the same board with 1 Pi and 1 NVMe, and 1 Pi and 6 NVMe.
I'm surprised that this doesn't mention cross-entropy, the contrastive loss function used by Facebook's wav2vec2 XLS-R pretraining paper and by OpenAI's CLIP.
Usually managers get trained in the bureaucratic processes of management but yes, there is usually no training in how to actually manage and often no mentoring either.
These lenders are not going broke because the mortgages are bad. They're going broke because they relied on short-term credit lines to originate mortgages, and rates have moved hard against them. Now they don't have the ability to rectify the situation without realizing a big loss on the mortgages.
My Zenbook UX305FA from 2015 with a dual-core passively cooled Broadwell Core-M processor had 8 GB of memory, and I think it was $799.

I think we are mostly agreeing, but let me be specific here. The NIH starts by defining autism:

"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder."

Defining autism as a DISORDER rather than common symptoms caused by a myriad of different disorders is where the issue is. I know we're doing a semantics game here, and doctors may full well understand this, but the public does not.

Then further:

"Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience."

Again, the spectrum is being defined as a variation of symptoms (with an implied common disorder), not a variation of disorders with similar symptoms.

Am I misunderstanding the word disorder here?

The people who have obviously made their preferences clear that they prefer not to be profiled and tracked that way, because the possibility is still there for those who consent to tracking.
It's definitely evil genius stuff.

I'm sure enough organizations have a mailing list called "customers@company" or "clients@company" to make it worth a shot. Colleges probably have "students@school" or "faculty@school" list.

Might be enough names you can profitably do it by hand.

> 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?

Probably. But if the means in which you can connect with those customers requires a surveillance apparatus that infringes on the privacy of the unconsented than perhaps the question that should be asked is does your business have a greater right to exists than the privacy of those customers (I’m guessing the reason you can’t reach them anymore is because they decided to no longer be tracked.
> Buttons are where you'd expect and do what you expect.

Wait, what? Netflix is the absolute worst at this. Every time I log in the interface is different! Netflix could not care less about users having a consistent seamless experience.

But as far as performance goes, I totally agree with you. The performance is impressively good and noticeably better than the other streaming apps I use.

The UX is just so bad in so many ways (UI churn, autoplay, useless ratings, useless categories, recaps that can be watched exactly once, and so on...) it mostly ruins the app for me. The actual video quality is great though.

Jones's case was civil, where the burden of proof and the penalties are remarkably different.

Had Jones's case been a criminal trial, the lawyer's screwup would have given Jones a powerful Fifth Amendment protection argument for excluding the relevant cell phone data from the trial. And anything that is found in that record is unlikely to be applicable to any criminal proceedings against Jones in the future (with the exception of perjury; I'm actually unclear on how a charge of perjury works in this circumstance when the Court is holding evidence provided by the defendant that the defendant perjured themselves).
Just wanted to say that the stay saasy blog is terrific. It makes me really wonder who you folks are. 90% of organizations just suck at everything you write about, so you must have some great experience.

Anyway, thanks for all the great content.
In this case though, the evidence wasn't proof of a crime. This was exculpatory evidence, the exact opposite. This seems just a bit more heinous than planting evidence for a conviction.
You actually could setup your own matrix server and have them connect to that. Should be fine, as long as this person is not in some part of China where freedoms are extra restricted.

You could probably also get them to join tailscale. It's a VPN technically but I doubt it's blocked since it's not marketed as a mass market service.

Edit: you could also setup a web chat that's outside of China, like one of those customer support chat widgets. It won't be e2e, but the TLS connection should protect against China's traffic inspection while also being incoquious.

Whatever you say on Wechat is logged forever for sure, so you might want to put it like "hey try my chat thing out" or "dave doesnt have wechat try this thing" so you're not asking them to evade big brother on the record.
My general investment focus is quite simple: I either invest in stuff I'm already a happy customer of (mostly stocks), things I wish would exist but doesn't, and/or stuff that's just stupidly ambitious but could change the world as a whole (for the better) if successful.
The other angle I'd really like to see is license safety. If it was possible to create a Copilot type tool trained exclusively on permissively licensed code (or even proprietary code that was licensed such that the tool subscription could include a very broad license grant) and with a business model that was willing to indemnify customers against copyright and patent claims - now that would be worth a hefty subscription fee.
> Is rackmount equipment cheaper than regular consumer PC hardware?

Not even close for new, but a generation or two old can be had very cheaply.

I was was once gifted a 128 node cluster (with the racks, UPS, everything) to a lab for the tax write off alone - they even provided shipping. The servers were only 3 years old iirc, but had depreciated enough on their books I guess and they wanted a faster cluster.
It’s laughable that people still think this is something that human intervention can stall without the entire planet going back to a Neolithic lifestyle.

The focus needs to be developing ways to mitigate the impact. Climate is never static. One major geologic event can do more climate harm than hundreds of years of human industry.

Commercial whaling probably did more climate harm than anything we’re doing now because it broke the iron cycle that is vital to plankton blooms

Yes, because the last few decades of drug prohibition have shown how differently it works nowadays.
The FBI has always had a bad rap, and they are a somewhat fascistic org themselves. And I'm a full-blooded born in the USA American saying this. The FBI doesn't need any help from foreign nations to be portrayed negatively. Just look up COINTELPRO for one of many egregious examples. It's not just bad individuals, but multi-year supremacist programs.

More recently, they tried to force Apple to put a backdoor in their phones.

I think that's one of the most important qualities of literature and poetry—they can illuminate those "truer than science" personal-perceptual aspects of the human experience, which are hard to get at otherwise. Literature as a whole ends up providing a kind of language for our inner lives, and a map of what is human.
I would require that all employees from the CEO down spend at least one week per year working in a customer support role although I'm not sure how to prevent them from blowing their top and going balistic at a customer given the amount of shit that customer support agents have to take on a daily basis. Hmmm.. on second thought, maybe not such a good idea but a man can dream right?

Perhaps restricting them to just working on email replies/responses and vet those responses prior to allowing them to be sent might work while also getting them to listen in on some live calls may be a safer option in terms of customer retention.

That makes no sense. A borrower would have incentive to default on the debt, so they can then purchase it at less than face value, effectively causing them to experience a gain and the lender to experience a loss.

Why would anyone choose to lend under such terms?
It depends on how you use the queue, though it'll revolve around:

1. Keep a live connection to the queue, which is not great operationally (a lot of open connections just idling most of the time).

2. Poll the queue - at this point you're just polling.

3. Send an HTTP ping when something is added to the queue - essentially webhooks.

That's why a queue is not a silver bullet.

Heh, he had it wiped professionally and then wiped it two more times, himself. Interesting background, as the recordings came from an informer, who's recordings in question were made of his own volition... in hopes to provide more evidence to reduce his sentence in the affair(s). Wild story, with plenty of twists. The agent is def going to jail, but the missing evidence is not necessarily exculpatory. Both senators & the lobbyist were convicted on most(all?) counts.

> Due to the Apple M2 currently lacking any power/temperature sensor support under Linux, this is simply looking at the raw performance of the M2 and Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U with not being able to accurately compare the M2 power efficiency / performance-per-Watt at this time.

Really surprised that anyone would consider this a fair comparison. Thermal management is a huge factor to consider with these tests given safety limiters reduce CPU performance.
