7.4 is supported on focal until 2025 for example. Centos has its own LTS and supported versions and so on.

> That some provider is still hosting old EOL'ed and no longer supported versions shouldn't prevent a library author from saying

Yes it should. Its not 'some' provider. Its providerS. A gigantic part of the web lives on such large hosts. AWS and similar ecosystems constitute a small part of the web. This is not saying that the former is low traffic but large in size compared to AWS et al. There is similar traffic and user activity going on in both ecosystems.

You can easily 'deprecate' something and spend millions of dollars man-hours in upgrading your stack as a larger startup which uses AWS. But millions of small businesses, individuals who rely on Open Source software and such hosting providers won't have the money or time to jump through such upgrade hoops 'just because'. It is 'just because' for the simple fact that a lot of such version hops we do in Open Source software development do not bring much to the end users. And they will not appreciate their businesses getting hampered trying to go through upgrade hoops which they have never asked for.

An alternate approach to this is saying 'f*k you' to those people and doing Open Source for the sake of software development itself, without caring about end users. That would also work - but only for those who develop Open Source and who have the time to keep it updated. The general public would just move on from Open Source and start using reliable private service providers that don't break their businesses every other year.

Importantly, the data also shows the limitations of using inauthentic tactics to generate engagement and build influence online.

I'm not sure whether this speaks to the low quality of IO undertakings or indicates selection bias by the report authors. Much of the analysis revolves around things like posting times, the use of GAN imagery, and shallow analytics such as likes-per-tweet, along with extensive qualitative analysis of post content.

This is far from state-of-the-art in adversarial network analysis; indeed it's far from even SOTA in Stanford, whose social media research lab has put out far more rigorous research in recent years, and which is just one among many academic institution doing exciting work in this space.

I wonder if to some extent the content was watered down to appeal to Graphika's commercial clients. They publish a lot, but for a general/commercial rather than an academic audience. As far as I can see their secret sauce is about being able to do good community detection at scale in close to real time, by deploying and parallelizing a lot of resources and having a combination of good commercial relationships with good infrastructure; doing for 2 cents what any fool (like me) can do for a dollar, so to speak.

Another possibility is that this is a limited hangout to acknowledge that sure, the US conducts information operations of its own, but present them as bland and boring to adversaries and critics while accepting a minor controversy to draw attention away from more sensitive and effective programs.

I think you meant precipitation hardening. The article mentions that they can 3d print material that has a similar structure to 17-4 PH steel, with similar strength properties. They aren't specifically heat treating while printing, they're effectively printing heat treated material.

So I think you're right that it won't be 17-4 PH. It sounds like it could be just as strong without the need for heat treating. That's pretty cool.

It also accuses rasterization of being "a hack", as if 1 spp with the denoiser coming to the rescue was nothing of the like. Also no need to label things as "hack"; they are all approximations, and good ones at that.

It also then argues that developers get RT "for free", which is nothing of the sort since there are many details involved to get it to work decently.

Exactly. Words, when used precisely, can carry be used to infer a significant amount of intentions behind the text.

In this case, holding targets at risk implies a strategy of deterrence, a desire for peace and the de-escalatition of conflicts, as opposed to initiating the first strike with the intention of destruction.
Maybe he will get away with it if he only cheated against Magnus, and only in that one match. Because it's perfectly reasonable for him to play against Magnus many more times and lost.

But if he cheated a lot more (as Magnus seems to allege) then he'll also lose to others he used to beat easily.

EDIT: I think a big issue with chess is this "perfection" mentality. Magnus cannot make a single mistake or lose a single game without it being a big show. Hans beating Magnus this one time, even though he was playing against black, should basically mean nothing - Magnus can probably beat Hans 10 times over. If Hans was beating Magnus 10 times it would be different - but also if he was on a streak to Magnus 10 times he would be playing with a lot more scrutiny.
General storage IOPS scales with disk size, roughly and to a point. It's often cheaper and faster to increase the instance storage than move to EBS, prioritized or not.

Of course if you need to recover quickly in a disaster you'll want a hot standby or replica. Still may be cheaper than PIOPs. (Especially if you need HA anyway.)

There are six TV news firms in USA. In many locales, the same local news "team" appears on all broadcast channels.
Definitely, that is the case. Sometimes societies start going down a route that is totally in contrast with what ideology that people have been conditioned to. And this is not even about USSR - at the moment, many people in places like US are experiencing the same thing, with a Randian dystopia taking over from the former center-right capitalism as capitalism in those countries finally goes back to its late 19th century roots. So the new state of the society is way too different from the state of the society that shaped these people's ideologies. And they are totally appalled.

Soviet Union's case is an exception to this: The Soviets were literally brainwashed by Hollywood movies and bootleg CIA video tapes to believe that everybody in the capitalist west lived like how the rich lived in Manhattan. They thought that they would keep all the good stuff from socialism (guaranteed jobs, reasonable pay, housing, free education, higher education, healthcare, reasonable retirement etc) but would also get the consumerism and the glamor depicted in Hollywood movies. They learned that things don't work that way.

Even until recently, there were Russians who still didn't know that there were homeless in the US. The Internet has likely changed that though...
Except he did play him, and only after that loss did he withdraw from the tournament and refuse to play with him again. The implication is clear to all that Carlsen suspects foul play in that game, I don't see the point in being coy about that now.
it's not a matter of what you expose. VMs are simply more isolated than containers.

VM isolation happens in hardware -- the processor, and is supported by the processor; container isolation happens in the OS kernel, and the hardware can not offer any features to containers that it can offer to virtual machines.
Okay, I think I understand you now. You are making a well debated philosophical argument which appears to fall under the term "anthropic objection", and philosophers have defended or attacked your position. (though it gets a bit confusing since some of the discussion has been around intelligent life in the universe in the context of religious beliefs, and other versions have nothing to do with religion.)

I found one rebuttal here saying that applying your line of reasoning to other topics besides the existence of intelligent life leads to absurd results:

"Critics of the anthropic objection argue that Sober’s reasoning delivers highly implausible results when transferred to examples where rational inferences are less controversial. Most famous is Leslie’s firing squad (Leslie 1989: 13f.), in which a prisoner expects to be executed by a firing squad but, to his own surprise, finds himself alive after all the marksmen have fired and wonders whether they intended to miss. The firing squad scenario involves an observation selection effect because the prisoner cannot contemplate his post-execution situation unless he somehow survives the execution. His observations, in other words, are “biased” towards finding himself alive (see Juhl [2007] and Kotzen [2012] for further useful examples). Sober’s analysis, applied to the firing squad scenario, suggests that it would not be rational for the prisoner to suspect that the marksmen intended to miss (unless independent evidence suggests so) because that would mean overlooking the observation selection effect that he faces. But, as Leslie, Weisberg (2005) and Kotzen (2012) argue, this recommendation seems very implausible."

I guess one way, it would be unethical but bear with me, is to wait until there is a very important, must-win scenario for Hans. Then, you have him think he's playing his opponent, but really he's playing Stockfish 15.

If he draws, he's cheating.

I know it's unethical, but what I'm saying is it's not impossible to catch someone cheating. Another idea I had is to telegraph different moves from a game, to a live broadcast. Imagine they just show their faces and then a 2d diagram of the board. Then you see what happens to his play. This only works assuming he's not using an implant or a thumper in his shoe.
If you get caught by one of his bodyguards, they'll make an example out of you.

This really is a one-sided view. I'm not saying it is an incorrect view, but I find that all dogmatic stances are only correct part of the time. Some small companies need a technical CTO. Large companies need a leader who can effectively delegate the technical aspects to his organization. Companies in the middle... will vary.
Not quite. There is still a possibility that Niemann will admit cheating. If he actually cheated there may be a time—in years or decades rather then months—that he fills with remorse and admits it (hopefully with a detailed description on how he did it so we can verify). If however he didn’t cheat, we will probably never actually know the truth.

This is pretty close to my current (hypothetical) plan for how I'd stand up a small full-stack app as a solo dev. Only thing I didn't think about was blue/green deployment which sounds great. Glad to see a real-world case study showing that the overall strategy works well

I have quit jobs where my manager lied to me. It is really really easy to tell when someone is lying.

You seem to live in some alternate dystopia where everyone lies to each other. How many of the companies that you have worked at have gone under?

There's a few issues here I see:

1) Privacy: I have multiple accounts. I don't always want these linked to each other either. This is not only multiple Google accounts (personal and work) but also this leaks data since Google knows more about what accounts I have.

2) Security: Just because it is my computer doesn't mean it is always safe. I don't want someone to be able to login to other services just because I'm logged into one. This is akin to being logged into your password manager but with less control since you can't login to a site you need and logout of your manager. Security is often about creating barriers.

3) Centralization: power/influence grows faster than linear with respect to control. Or we may refer to this as momentum. We don't want Google, or anyone, to have control over something so important like the internet. The distribution is essential. While centralization can be good, too much can stifle innovation. That's the whole problem with monopolies (which don't need to have absolute control, but just significant).

4) Personal control: It is my computer, my data, and my accounts. Your services should be making things easier but also expand the amount of control that we have. Creating walled gardens goes back to 3. Potentially this can even create fissures. Having personal control also helps innovation. Being able to play around lets people find new ways to do new things.

You don't have to imagine, check out any post match press conference or when players discuss over the board after the game.

They remember all the variations they consider, and they've considered most of the variations their opponents have calculated, so the variations aren't new branches, they're just pointers to spots in the game tree both players have in their heads.
chess.com suggests Hans cheated more than he admits. He did (much?) better in tournaments with zero delay. In a few consecutive tournaments, he made a lot of top engine moves, slightly above Magnus/Kasparov/Fisher at their best. He had a hard time explaining his lines in the interview after the game (with Firouzja I think).
I have no particular animosity towards Nvidia, and while I'm critical of the ignorance/mistakes made regarding crypto, I think they're doing incredible work and running an insanely difficult business as best they can.

I love man pages. But it took me many years before I realized how easy it is to write man pages for tools that I write (and further, I write in markdown and pandoc happily translates them to troff for me).

A few years ago I learned that one can also add a new section to man. I've added the `eg` section, which I fill with examples that I think will be useful to future me. For example, typing `man eg awk` opens up my man page of examples for awk, which is more pointed.

Totally agree there's no hard and fast rules here. That said, this person probably lucked out with a dependable team, and no doubt relied on intra-leadership (from yourself or peers I would assume!) to manage - and deliver - effectively. This kind of dependability doesn't usually appear out of thin air. It's also a bit of a catch 22 to replicate.

I've worked with similar people and there is definitely a place for them (tho probably not at the peak of the structure). But it's also nice to have someone that can critically discuss a solution and sign off on decisions that they fully understand. IMO.

I think the problem is that people think Tesla vs. EV. Tesla is repair hostile.

Because the software is the thing that matters, and the behavior of the software is exclusively controlled by the OEM, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the life or operation of the car will be impacted by manufacturer action. After all, Tesla has already made retroactive adjustments to range, etc in post-repair scenarios.
