Providing an uncritical lens and an approving audience doesn't encourage someone to change their behavior. Congratulations, we've been shown that the guy is an asshole. He also got a chance to promote his product to people who actually like that product, and arguably given an entire ecosystem that can support him and similar people.

Unless Rogan is secretly operating the world's longest, most elaborate public sting operation, I don't think the "let 'em hang themselves" argument really holds water.
The NYT has a pretty strong anti-EU bias. I suspect it has a lot to do with American interests and the ownership of the paper. Just about every article about EU affairs has a very negative and skeptical stance. They REALLY hate the EU certification of PDO for food labeling, which in itself I think is a big clue about who’s interests it represents.
You don't need to reach for Haskell or Rust, you can wrap any unsafe string in an UnsafeString type that can't be mistaken for a plain string. I was hoping the post would get to saying 'make wrong code into errors'.
I disagree.
For example, a simple todo-list web-app doesn't need any cookies but stores everything in localStorage.
Cookies are made for a server, localStorage for a client.
None of those really cover much of the field.

AI also includes things like expert systems, which don't autmatically learn, adapt to much or recognize any patterns.
> And let's be real. DDoS attacks are acts of digital terrorism.

No, it's not. Not everything that's bad is terrorism.

Terrorism is specifically about using violence. Don't water down terms.
when I lived in JP (a part of Boston) I made my commuter bike "unstealable" by taping it and putting joint compound all over the frame. The thing was ugly as sin and looked at lot like this bike.

I could leave it locked with one of those cheap combination cable locks, and no one ever took it.
"Free speech" for normal people means "the practical freedom to speak freely", not whatever nitpicking legalistic definition I infer you're using.
I had the "DMORPH" program, which had you construct a grid, and it would generate separate image for every frame. Then you had to use "DTA" to turn it into a FLIC file. No MPEG here, no animated .gif here, you had FLIC as your animation format.
I feel like you aren't using the phrase "race to the bottom" correctly here. Generally a race to the bottom implies some kind of detrimental outcome for the world as a result of people failing to internalize externalities generated by a business.
They have substantial resale value, if you know the right people.
You snark at it, but this tautology is a far better claim than the original ("all/most countries did better").
And that just makes all the difference, don't it.

Rather misleading since the concrete isn't even structurally integral to the bike. It's more like a rebar bike that had concrete poured on it.
If they're Skylake or newer and the Lenovo has a TPM + UEFI Secure Boot, you can probably clean-install Windows 11 without a hitch. I recently reinstalled a Win10-era Asus ZenBook with a Skylake m3 which Microsoft claimed "is not supported" but a normal, unpatched Win11 setup USB worked fine and Windows Update runs properly. (It doesn't complain about unsupported hardware as it would)
>The top three conservation actions are to set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using large appliances and charging electric vehicles and turn off unnecessary lights.
Ages ago, I had a colleague who was deeply into hacking of his mTOR pathway. Among other things, this included a permanent calorie deficit and removal of all protein from his diet.

I don't know if he's still alive. Maybe it was working a bit too well, I recall he looked like an extremely tall 13 year old with anorexia.
There is an art to apologizing.

You just failed. Badly.

To start with, you made it about my reaction, and not what you did. Second, you have repeated your condemnation without acknowledging that you are doing so.

In polls, a significant majority of Americans support someone's right to choose suicide in the case of someone with an untreatable illness causing significant suffering for as long as they remain alive. A significant majority also support that allowing assistance in said suicide, particularly if there are sufficient protections. (Our actual laws are generally not in line with what people think, but that is what polls say people think. And it is what I think.) If your ethical judgments come from any other position, you are the one whose moral opinions are out of line.

The ethical question is whether a person with a permanent and untreatable major psychiatric disorder qualifies as an untreatable illness causing significant suffering for as long as they remain alive. If they can make that case convincingly enough, most Americans support their right to suicide. And even to receive assistance.

You've never had someone you love spend months attempting to convince you of this, that their pain is real, and the fact that you can't see from the outside what they go through on the inside doesn't make the pain any less.

Out of hand you condemn anyone who got convinced by this. Call them terrible. But you've never had to deal with this situation. This is the arrogant naïveté that I refer to.
I think that you have to take responsibility when your actions (doxing) result in a higher probability of other actions (swatting). The exact degree of responsibility varies.

You believe the same thing. Cloudflare dropping Kiwifarms wouldn’t directly result in Kiwifarms going dark; it’s just a highly predictable outcome. If you don’t think a company is responsible for anything but their direct actions, the argument for providing service to Kiwifarms becomes much weaker.
After working at a startup, I don't think I would ever start one because I'm not interested in exploiting people when it comes work life balance or compensation.
Agreed. The billions of dollars thrown at anything claiming “AI” is quite disappointing. It’s a small branch of statistics the same way that statistics is a small branch of math.

At this point, even a rolling average is labeled as AI.
MS also famously has lots and lots of pretty decent re-sellers all around the world, which re-sellers have their own very deep lists of business contacts.

Afaik Google has tried to get something out of the enterprise space for a good 5 years now (I'd say), ever since they launched GCP, but it's just not in their DNA to do and especially to maintain business sales.
Everything looks easier when someone else is doing it.
>And if you compare current eastern Germany as opposed to the DDR, current inhabitants have it so much better

Depends on what you mean by better. For example they're much worse thrown in the rat race
> Instagram is still strong amongst teens

Yes, see "Instagram is just to keep up appearances." Still in use but out. As in out of style, not cool, for the parents, etc. Teens are using it to keep the parents at bay for what they are doing on TikTok/Snap.
Close, but you're missing the point. It becomes a Nazi bar, regardless of the owner's intentions for the bar. So arguing the semantics of one admin's beliefs is irrelevant.
They are talking up their own chances of success for the $$$'s. When they tweet / do a puff piece that a PR person has lined up in the news of course they will say that their one true technology is going to solve world hunger and bring about world peace.

Why are <insert language, database, framework, technology etc> so overconfident?

And I actually only truly grasped this recently(the concept makes sense). My paranoid self always thinks that in a game like League, there are artificial matchmaking things going on to keep you at 50%, apart from a stagnation of skill. In truth, I probably just need to get better(at whatever, doesn't have to be League).

According to the abstract of the article, its effects, at least in that form of using it, were not immunosuppresive.

On the contrary, the protection of the intestine to aging effects was due to increased autophagy in the intestinal cells, which eliminated the defective cells, and by increased levels of antimicrobial lysozyme, and these effects persisted long after the initial treatment ended.

There's a study on pubmed that suggests it is more immunomodulatory in action than suppressive. I'll update this if I find the link.

They had 4M users, it's not enough unless it was growing hyperbolically, which it wasn't.
I've noticed that packaging for consumer goods accounts for a sizable portion of waste. This is something that could be curtailed even without innovation taken into account. Some sort of policy decision will be necessary as it will not suffice to deflect responsibility to consumers, especially when that demographic is only growing in the West. We can't outpace growth with shaming.
No. You have to be unhealthy to the extent that it probably isn’t safe for you to live alone and walking across a room is an accomplishment. That’s when you start to worry.

I don't think this is accurate. I've only looked at KF briefly, but it seems like the causal ancestor is actually that KF tracks people who are loudly and publicly doing crazy stuff, which correlates with people who are at risk of loudly and publicly killing themselves.
I've seen the term "default host" on other routers too, so it's fair enough. AirPort settings were pretty full-featured for a consumer device, just lacked advanced routing stuff that I'd not use in a home anyway.

It started falling apart when they made the new AirPort Utility, which hid some settings. I had to go install the old version.
If the model physically does not have enough information to create a work that would be found to be infringing on your friend's rights, then why is your friend upset? The model viewed his work and learned from it in the same way that humans do.

If your friend published images on the internet, he clearly intended them to be viewed by (meat) neural networks. Why are silicon ones operated by humans any different?

Edit: To elaborate, if (10 years ago) someone saw your friends works and started producing derivatives and publishing them to DeviantArt, would your friend have any good reason to be upset?
The progress in the ecosystems of open source projects and SaaS springing up in the layer above Stable Diffusion is more interesting to me than the art-making itself

Have we ever seen such progress in 3rd party code before? It's only a week and it seems like a lot of innovations came up chaotically from the userbase...?
It often feels like words are losing their meaning, with everyone misusing terms they don't fully understand.

I don't want to be a doomer and have have surely unknowingly misused terms as well, but its definitely noticable how these originally clearly defined terms are getting used in entirely new ways.

And it's not just with technical terms like this, it also applies to originally obvious terms such as racism, sexism etc which have lost their original meaning entirely
This is moving fast !

Obviously, it’s going to be an incredible boon for content creation. I suppose that in the future it’ll make creating videos an order of magnitude easier, which will allow a single person or a small team to make a high quality movie where all the assets are generated, so that’ll really give us an eye into a lot of people’s imaginations, for better or worse.

To leave a thought provoking example, what’s going to happen when every adolescent has the ability to make a convincing deepfake?

It’ll put nation states in a similar position than they already have with crypto, where they wonder if they should ban, or regulate… doing nothing wont be an option.
Everyone knows American sweets are the worst. So sugary, very little flavour. The chocolate is borderline disgusting.

I brought a pack of “runts” from a specialist store a few weeks back and they are beyond bad. Literally just sugar with bad flavourings.
I just evaluated all the javascript headless CMS just last week and my conclusion is that the best offering in this space is probably directus. Maybe I'll do a writeup when my directus app gets up and running.

Yeah, it should be in a static property/field or a singleton. Seen measurable improvements based on fixing this. System.Text.Json really has many unnecessary pitfalls. Maybe they should have fixed the memory problems with Newtonsoft instead. A much more practical lib.

Edit: With that said, in most apps JSON speed is very not important. Never seen it consumed more than couple of percent of execution time for APIs since .NET 1.1.
Software companies are leaning on prefabbed APIs to build software efficiently
I wonder what it means that the brain wave synchronization decreased over the session. Did some signal cause them to start out synchronized and then they gradually drifted apart spontaneously? Also kind of wonder if this will replicate.
I got a gitea server and an archivebox server running on my 2020 8GB M1 Mac mini that just serves locally. Whenever I want to mess with a thing I try to roll it out on my mini before my main desktop since my mini is more like an always on server. It's got 2 nvme drives and 1 sata drive hooked up to it for samba shares along with a crappy USB flash drive and a micro SD card for a total of 4TB of separate networked drives.

AMD wasn't part of retail, but they cut like 20% of their staff in the high-flying tech field and then bet it all on Zen processors, and their "custom" projects (XBox and PS4/PS5).

Needless to say, it worked out for AMD.

------

Its possible to survive downturns. You need to cut staff, stabilize the company, and then turn it all around. It takes a good management team with long-term vision.

I think "Best Buy" was a good turnaround in the past 10 years, and actually retail. So maybe a better example?

I dunno enough about BBBY. But its "possible" to turn a company around. I admit that most of these cases look like a lost cause though (Kodak, Sears, K-Mart, etc. etc.)
And flat, so any excess water will just run over the edge.
If I could have a thousand years to read and study deeply and just write and think, I would take it.

Yes my loved ones will die and that will make me sad. I'll grieve and move on. My life is not theirs - their death does not mean an end to what I am doing.

Flip the problem. If you could bestow a friend/family member with a thousand years, even knowing you will die, would you?

One of the ancient greek prophets declared the apocalypse would happen in 9 generations. She was quite wrong. Most doomsday prophets are (well, probably all but the last one).
The adage that we overestimate technology in the short term and we underestimate it in the long term holds. There is no way we all have a personal AGI assistants that drive our cars and work jobs for us this decade. At the end of this century we will all have this technology, barring any one of the possible apocalyptic catastrophes besetting us at present. The question is whether this advance is possible without some irrational exuberance today. We need the cult of AI to inspire us to think it’s even possible in the first place.
In the same vein, a lot of automation is working around process problems. It's all to easy for us technically-inclined folks to reach for a technical solution. A problem is stated and we immediately begin to draw up requirements, incorrectly assuming that a business process is a static thing.

Often times a little discipline, coordination, and documentation would more than suffice.
only an American could say this with a straight face. the horrors the US inflicted on other countries in the last several decades is so many times greater than anything China has ever done.

most importantly, stop projecting American imperialist attitudes onto China. there is zero indication of China trying to spread the systems you are so afraid of.

funny how the "neutral global citizen" is interested in preserving a system that just happens to benefit the west at the expense of the global south.

5G speed and device capacity increases have the capability to truly bring about pure wireless communication infrastructure that's cheap, efficient, reliable and performant enough that we could actually get some legit cyberpunk-ish tech built on top of it.

What? Multiplayer VR does not require that much bandwidth.

efficient, reliable

To me this is where 5G is worse than useless. The advent of 5G means companies have effectively stopped expanding 4G networks. The places I go with no data connectivity are exactly the same as they were five years ago and ten years ago. Where does 5G exist that 4G didn't exist beforehand?
A WWII HF transmitter but the transformer was separated from it at the time.

I was load testing it and whilst it was rated at 850V at 125mA it was very conservatively rated, it could handle well over 200mA without any significant voltage drop (as one would expect from a transformer made to mil specs).

This becomes a different beast when you introduce competitive play. In non-ranked there is this feeling of freedom to try new things, have fun, etc... but in ranked it feels like things are on the line(despite those things being so trivial as a few points up or down).

Settlers is so fun because you really feel like you're on a journey the whole game, and while it is nice to win, you remember the interactions and experiences in the game as the valuable thing(IMO).
>1) they've "held" the south-east (and donbass etc.) for a while, now

Yes they have. You put "held" in quotation marks, why? I think that Russia is going to make this into a 3rd "separatist"/breakway republic.

>2) nukes were never really on the table, that was just some tedious "russia strong man!" nonsense

U.S. intelligence allegedly failed to predict this invasion, which makes me think they underestimated Russia's goals and intentions here. Why wouldn't an irrational, paranoid dictator consider nukes? To consider him using weapons in his arsenal "nonsense" is wishful thinking or pulling wool over one's eyes

>3) Sanctions are starting to bite

Maybe, but maybe not enough to stop an irrational, paranoid dictator from accomplishing his goals.

>4) Morale among Russian troops is (allegedly) basically non-existent

This is true. That is why Russia is pulling troops from Syria, PMCs like Wagner, and using Chechen forces.
I would not consider the number of lives spent there to be winning no matter how you spin it. Additionally, being a stone's throw from the capital and being repelled as they were is also not winning by any metric you care to choose. Whether russian propaganda claims the campaign to be a success is another matter, but the bottom line is that the expense has been spectacular and the territorial gains do not justify it.
I hadn't thought of storing the CA key on the YubiKey. That's an interesting way to go about it.

Like the other reply though, I keep my private SSH key on the YubiKey, protected with both a PIN and a password. I can SSH from any computer as long as I can install gpg on it.
The most important (IMO) paragraph from that page:

> If there is one thing to understand about SOC2 audits, it’s: SOC2 is about documentation, not reality. SOC2 audits are performed by accountants, not pentesters. You’ll tell your audit team what security things you try to do. They’ll call upon the four cardinal directions of ontology in a ceremony of shamanic accountancy. They’ll tell you those security things are just fine. Then they’ll give you a 52,000-line questionnaire called the Information Request List (IRL), based in some occult way on what you told them you’re doing. And you’ll fill it out. You’ll have a few meetings and then write them a check. They’ll put your company name on a report.
