Our business primarily uses macOS but we use Microsoft Defender ATP because we’re an Azure and Microsoft 365 house. The performance hit is absolutely insane but I’ve simply not had enough time to debug it and see if it can be tuned to something more reasonable.

Installing Homebrew is probably the biggest example, without Defender ATP, probably ~3 minutes. With Defender ATP, upwards of 15.

I’d love to convince the powers that be that XProtect is enough, but I’d need some way of measuring and auditing it. Any suggestions?

You can't solve the issue unless you build (much) more housing. An app to donating to charity is like nothing. You have good intentions but it is what it is.

And even if you build housing, you somehow need to reduce the induced demand.

Since we're talking anomalous orb phenomena, there's been common sightings of floating corporeal "orbs" for lack of better term captured by consumer ring security cameras: https://microufostudy.medium.com/the-micro-ufo-phenomenon-d2...

The article appears to have a wide sampling of videos featuring these orbs and make convincing claims they're not conventionally explainable (not bugs, camera artifacts, etc).

Anyone with experience of such sightings?
Unlikely -- Saturn had consumer-friendly no-hassle pricing (and vehicles) in the 1990s. That model hasn't returned.

(Also, the superlative owners' manual for my wife's Saturn was a user-friendly document designed with the end-user in mind. Never seen anything like it before or since.)

Honestly, I hadn't come across the lattice method until you mentioned it. I would strongly argue that it hinders learning because it's hard to draw an association between the numbers you are writing down and how the lattice method is set up. It is equivalent to long division after you recognize that the lattice method removes the shifting to the right as you multiply by the next digit. With the standard long multiplication method, you recognize that what you were really doing is splitting the multiplier by powers of 10 once you learn the distributive property. The lattice method is actually weirder because you don't move by increasing powers of 10, you go in the reverse direction. You still have to carry and you still add up numbers in column/power of 10 order, starting with the smallest power at the very end. If anything, the lattice method represents everything about the common core math approach that many parents and teachers dislike.

The algorithm matters and I argue that once students can naturally derive the algorithm on their own, there's no place for human calculations. Computers and calculators should be used. We're no longer living in a society where students will have to worry about "what if you don't have a calculator on you". It seems as weird as memorizing unit conversions to me.

What's interesting is that the purpose of implementing the common core standard was exactly what I am arguing for. A shift away from algorithmic memorization to a number sense way of doing math. The failure lies with the teachers not being able to teach well much more than students not learning.
> I find that CUDA's cub library is better if you're doing prefix-sums within a kernel.

Thrust doesn't have a __device__ prefix-sum iirc, just the global call /laugh

> "Thrust" is more of a quick-and-dirty prototype kind of code, which has weaker performance than people expect.

Yes, absolutely, they're complimentary and in many cases CUB does things slightly better, or does things that Thrust doesn't support.

But Thrust is fantastic for "I want to allocate some GPU arrays, set up some data, and run sort+prefix sum, then hand it off to something else to run the actual algorithm. It's glue that helps you get started (eg see those quickstarts - those are very short even by CUDA standards let alone OpenCL) and figure out if your idea is going to work. And there's very little penalty to keeping the "global steps" inside thrust, eg if you're just doing "fill this index-array with 0..N and then sort(arr1,arr2)" that is not much slower than doing everything raw, or writing one big function that tries to do everything without intermediate computations. It's also easy to get Thrust containers to give you a real pointer and at that point you can call CUB or real kernels or do whatever else you want.

As far as performance... eh, CUB is a little faster but not like incredibly much so, maybe 10% or so from what I remember, it wasn't huge. Thrust algorithms are usually not in-place so CUB can provide slightly higher problem size in most situations (since you don't have to allocate a scratch buffer). I actually found the CUB in-place sort was slower than Thrust non-inplace though (understandable, that's a common penalty, and CUB non-inplace might be even faster).

More fundamentally, Thrust really works at the level of iterators and not kernels/grids, so you can't really do warp-level operations at all using global "sort this shit" type commands. Thrust doesn't expose the grid information to you and doesn't make guarantees about what grid topology will be executed (there is an OpenMP backend!).

But if there is some general "per-item" function in your algorithm, you can call it using the map-iterator (can't remember what it's called but like, pass this object to this function) and either pass the object to work on, or have the value passed be an index of a work-item and your function loads it (store a pointer to the array start in the map-iterator). And in that case you inherit some of the occupancy auto-tuning that Thrust does, which is nice just as a basic thing to get off the ground - it'll try to use as wide a grid as is feasible given the occupancy/utilization.

I seem to remember that I did find a way to kinda work around it somehow, like what I was iterating was grid launches instead of work-items, and obviously those can use warp-collective calls etc, but yeah at some point you'll have to make the hop to a proper kernel launch, Thrust just lets you push it off a bit. I was just seeing if I could do it to leverage Thrust's occupancy auto-tuning.

Maybe it was that I'd stride the object space (eg launch an iterator for every 32 items) and do a kernel launch on each chunk, or something like that.
I also have latency issues with USB soundcards and MIDI devices, specifically. Tried multiple vendors and in each one introduced ~100-200 milliseconds of delay. The old PCI SoundBlaster Audigy card I had 20 years ago with a the standard DIN MIDI interface was orders of magnitude better, even running Windows XP.

Given the amount of money involved in this issue between Twitter and Musk, and the general trend by large organizations and governments to hire PR firms to advance narratives in the court of public opinion, I wonder if this "blog post" is just that - part of a hit piece sanctioned by the Musk team?

There isn't anything ground breaking security-wise in this article, and the headline is definitely a lot of Trunped up hyperbole.

The blog "take" could be about any tech or Fortune 500 company.
I generally agree with this but I have a counter argument. I grew up in the 80/90s generally unsupervised. I played outside from sunrise to sunset. Complete freedom. As a parent now, I reflect back on those days and think about the times I came really close getting badly hurt or doing something completely stupid. My conclusion is that in parenting, it’s either you supervise or you don’t. You can choose to loosen certain boundaries WHILE you’re supervising but don’t ever think allowing your kids to go completely unsupervised is good for them in any shape or form.
In my search for a “universal USB C” cable I have found.

- you have to make sure they support the wattage requirements you need.

- you have to make sure it isn’t power only and supports data.

- you have to make sure it supports the data speed you need

- you have to make sure it supports video over USB C - I have a portable USB C monitor.
This is neat. Honestly though.. they're not very good. They're rather all rather generic and many of them aren't illustrating the verse very clearly. It makes sense-- DALLE prompts tend to be very specific and it looks like for the most part they just used bible verses while attaching phrases like Classical Art, Painting, 2022, etc. With more work by the author to create a more specific prompt you can probably make some really great stuff

I don’t disagree with you that serious money can be saved if one knows the correct way to buy from a private party. But psychological comfort also has real value for a lot of, maybe even most, people. It may seem like a poor reason to you, but for them it’s worth it. Plus, you should be happy to have fewer people competing with you to buy from private sellers, thereby further lowering your price.

I'm Penetration Tester / Security Engineer that has worked both on defending and breaking stuff. Breaking stuff turned out to be more fun, so pentesting / red teaming is slightly more preferable. But I'll consider all offers since my main concern right now is culture fit.

Looking for a fully remote or remote-first company with ambitious goals, challenging projects and fun colleagues. I have worked for government and Fortune 500 companies before, not looking to repeat that experience. Would love to find a place that has a CTF team, regularly attends / speaks at conferences and doesn't consist of a pack of lone wolves.

There would have to be extraordinary evidence to convince me that this is not dust or pollen floating very close to the lens and illuminated by the IR lights. This happens to my cameras quite often, and looks exactly like the first photo in that link.

The fact that they've never been seen directly, only on camera, seems to back that up.

The first video (actually, most of the videos) is very obviously an insect stuck to a spider web.
M1 is a unified memory system and doesn't have VRAM.
Supposedly Stable Diffusion was trained on 512 x 512 images, so it's not clear that it will work well for larger images even if you had the RAM.

To generate larger images, it is standard practice to generate 512 x 512 and then use a separate tool to upscale, and maybe a second separate tool to improve the face. The Windows versions of SD environments are starting to incorporate these additional tools, but the Apple Silicon versions of SD environments are lagging behind due to Pytorch metal limitations.... It'll hopefully sort itself out in the next few months.

This article isn't really about Bucky Fuller so much as it is about a 21st century skeptic's view of technological optimism. The criticisms feel weak unless you are predisposed against his philosophy.

In so far as the critique has any merit, it comes from comparisons to him and others who make careers out of commentary and punditry (inherently self-aggrandizing professions). I think that type of work is actually legitimate, though it is a) basically what publications like Slate and TNR are for and b) not really a complete summary of Fuller's work, which succeeded in genuine contributions to architecture.
People who lose internal political battles at companies have strong incentives to leave and then become whistleblowers. It's not that the disclosures are automatically false, but they are definitely coming from someone with an axe to grind and a strong monetary incentive to find anything possible to complain about.
...names which do not suggest the character of the operation or disparage it in any way and do not enable some widow or mother to say that her son was killed in an operation called "Bunnyhug" or "Ballyhoo."
I've been thinking about this I think it is the end result of globalization. First we could ship stuff overseas, then we could ship jobs overseas, now people are realizing they can ship their house overseas, and Portugal has a much nicer climate and weather than Shanghai so why not move there. Basically with the advent of the internet and the rise in remote work there's no more reason people really feel tied to a place, so in the most desirable places in the world you are no longer just competing against the people in your state or country, that real estate is now on the global market against 7 billion other people.

Good article. Thank you.
Even us madrileños (Madrid people) cannot. Our salaries and taxation cannot match the “invisible” renters driving up the housing market. Saying this as I pack my stuff to move outside the city.
The answer to your question is sovereignty and it is quite settled by this point in global governance. Who has it and who they gave it up to. As a republic, the citizens of Portugal are sovereign and they have the right to decide who gets to live where and for how much. The citizens can also choose to give up their sovereignty to others (the EU, globalism) or not exercise it (don’t vote or don’t hold their officials accountable).

This attitude, combined with a pathological inability to state what the practical harms/risks are, is why "privacy advocates" never get anywhere.
It is the usual partisan 'environmental group / greens are to blame for x/y/z'. Their 1 seat in parliament has affected government policy and the party that has been in power, with a large absolute majority for decades was powerless to stand in their way.
I understand. Just talking about weight a Macbook 16" is 2 Kg. So it would be much lighter, more integrated then carrying around all these pieces. If you go in a business trip you need the integration and battery of a laptop. Allright, this is not a 17" inches but you can easily increase the text size if needed.

Of course to each its own and is perfect that this solution works for you. But suggesting that is a lighter alternative to a real, modern laptop is incorrect. As it is the article that seems to advocate using obsolete browsers, obsolete editors and no modern software for the sake of saving money or the World.

The truth is that whomever depends on a computer for paid work needs performance. New processors (like the apple M1) are much faster than a 6-7 years old laptop. And, if the green cause is important, much more efficient energy management and longer battery life.

If you need power and quality (think images/video editing) you can't work with software and hardware of a decade (of two decades ago).
Sadly this is often due to regulations and industry expectations.

I work in finance and we get all these audits and questionnaires from regulators, insurers, intermediaries, clients, etc. and many of them are straight out of the 90s.

For example, when we replaced the VPN with a zero trust system, we got a ton of pushback. It didn't matter that the ZT implementation provided stronger guarantees than the VPN ever did as well as doing everything the VPN did. What mattered is that it wasn't called a VPN and they were expecting me to write "Cisco VPN" or similar.

Unfortunately, developers having admin access on their machines triggers so many red flags in these processes. Doesn't matter if you install a load of auditing and remote attestation stuff, admin access is instant ticket to bureaucratic hell.
The ISS can first of all move if something larger is detected. But the ISS has gotten hit, several times. But most of its cross sectional area is solar panels though so it's not been so bad.

Another big difference is that if the ISS gets hit by anything with significant kinetic energy, it will just punch a hole clean through whatever it impacts. There is nothing that can absorb that sort of kinetic energy. This is in most scenarios good news.

If a meteorite hits the lunar surface, the surface absorbs the kinetic energy, the surface and the meteorite evaporates, causing an explosion of molten rock moving at high velocities. This means even glancing hits or near misses can be devastating in a way they aren't when you are in orbit.
Hz Water: Masaru Emoto’s Experiment
I might agree with your last sentence but not the rest of it. Car owners systematically underestimate the total cost of ownership by ~50% (i.e. the true cost is ~2x the perceived cost). Under those conditions it is completely bizarre that buyers agonize over 1-2% of the purchase price. It would make sense to micromanage that purchase price if, and only if, the rest of your expenses are known and managed to very unusual accuracy.

That's one fucked up way to see the world, and... to fuck up your kids for good. I hope they are stronger than you and overcome whatever you instill(ed) in them, many do. Some would even call social services in such a case (I wouldn't but that's mostly due to general shit quality of those).

Overall, the whole article is so surreal - is this actual reality in US? Where I live, and lived, which means some parts of Europe, kids are much more self-sufficient, its expected from them and they are happy to deliver. I recall the joy and pride I felt when I begged my parents into letting me go alone for the first time on public transport from aunt home, and they let me and it was at the end simple ride with bunch of stops. The idea anybody can protect their kids 100% is completely ridiculous, just let it go. Teach them to be smart when interacting with strangers, not fearful. Are you also afraid by default when stranger approaches you ie with a question? (that would explain a lot).

Whatever inner problem you have, it can be worked on by specialists, just don't close yourself since you drag your closest family down that hole and young ones have no good defenses for messed up parents.
