There is a case to be made, not just for natural language but code.

AFAIK there is quite a bit of examples from security labs where malware authors aren't necessarily identified but at least fingerprinted based on naming conventions, patterns they use across multiple projects etc...

That sort of fingerprinting could expand to correlating someone's anonymous software projects to other examples of code elsewhere (ex: if they contribute to source available stuff).

re: the example project you mention specifically, it does feel like using tools like that almost as a linter for natural language would be a fingerprint in itself.

EDIT: As far as OPSEC goes, a fun tidbit. A friend of mine identified a PR I submitted anonymously to them, simply because of the style of PR comments I made.

Taxation, Debt, and Inflation are the primary means by which government extracts from the populace. No one wanted to tell the populace they were going to tax the fuck out of them to prop up businesses and the unemployed during lockdowns, so instead they just "tax" by allowing rampant inflation and then blame it on central bank, Russia, whatever.

And Windows needed that feature much, much earlier.

One of the open secrets about windows is that in the 3.1 to 98 era, quite a large percentage of system crashes were actually caused by Creative Labs’ audio drivers. Those guys could not produce stable software if their lives depended on it.

But I don’t blame CL for Windows being crash prone. Microsoft made a choice and a compromise to get popular. A permissive driver model made them more popular with customers. If you pander, then the rewards and the consequences are both yours to enjoy.

MS tried to have their cake and eat it too back then. They wanted everyone to think they were the most sophisticated and powerful company because they were the smartest company in the world (which was the internal dialog at the time according to insiders I interviewed), but at the same time that it was all dumb luck and they couldn’t control anything.
As if millions of comments suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Alternative explanation is that the board brought Dorsey back because they were toxic and wanted someone they could contain/control.

Dorsey comes back out of love and is trapped by his attachment to the possibility, but has unconsciously accepted he can never achieve it.

The “CEO is/isn’t a job” argument above is reflected in this. Dorsey wasn’t ever Jobs, or Michael Dell. They wouldn’t have brought him back if he was.

The first VC we pitched to felt like this was too niche of a problem. They wanted us to come back with a different, grander, pitch, so we'll see. In the current fundraising climate, it's been difficult to gather data points on whether we are on the right track (this post makes us feel like we're not crazy). We reached out to investors outside America, where we're based, and we're quickly realizing the VCs aren't as tech-savvy as we expected. After going thru the YC application process this cycle, we've have much greater appreciation for YC. They understand tech and startups, both. For one, we're instructed to define a toy / small problem, "don't talk, do" as opposed to pretty slides and ideas.

Best of luck to Steampipe and whoever else is working on this problem.

Is that the solution? I don’t know, but honestly all of these issues are solvable problems and the idea that we can’t figure it out in 13 years says more about our self belief than it does about the tractability of the problem.

I currently do AWS infra. This is job security to me, because every time Google shutters another product, a whole cohort of companies chooses AWS over GCP because we all know Google will pull the plug on GCP any day now.
Don't think that's true. Look here at this graph of the money supply. There is a visible change in the money supply after covid hits and stimulus starts. It has not been going on like that for 15 years.

This comment is confusing. Presumably Stadia is being shut due in part to poor sales?

I think that argument works a lot better if we're talking about a consumption level in the 10-100s of hours, along the lines of average for this title and most others like it:

6000 hours is multiple orders of magnitude beyond that point, so it feels like a point where it's a lot safer to reach for an absolute judgment that it really is "too much".

As I continue to see these headlines about AI generated art, it seems that the most important thing about art and music is not being addressed: experience.

Art—-the creation of it as well as the appreciation—-is a human, life experience.

AI will only have an impact on life’s journey if it adds something that traditional art and music alone cannot offer. To me, that is the ultimate value of AI: enhancing life. Otherwise, who needs it?

IME at least people who are really into guns are also very serious about gun safety. The problems mostly tend to come from those guys who bought an AR or pistol because it seemed cool who only take their guns out of the case once or twice a year. Unfortunately in a country the size of the US there are a lot of people in the latter group.

WRT to training, I'm of the opinion that if we as a country are going to maintain a relatively unrestricted right to bear arms (which I'm in favor of), the responsible course of action is to have broad gun safety training. Personally I'd make it part of the high school curriculum, just like english or algebra. That's where I start to hear objections from conservatives - they're totally in favor of people seeking training, after all those people probably already have an interest in guns and they're most likely seeking training from a pro-gun source, but they're concerned about broader required training being hijacked by anti-gun groups. And they probably aren't wrong, but I don't think we should ignore addressing the problem just because some people would abuse the solution.
Moreover, a stylometry analysis will reveal when I started to limit myself to one "moreover" for every two or three chapters.
I really like how it just worked when I installed it and the AWS plugin. The second one I tried was tailscale... I get some different results to the same query which is weird and broken, and an error "device can only be managed by original tailnet (403) (SQLSTATE HV000)"

Still, getting access to all this stuff with a SQL interface is very compelling so I'll try to get the plugins for all the stuff I have working properly.
You're describing an "income effect." There's also a "substitution effect." The fundamental idea is that people will change their purchases in response to changing prices. If there's a sale on bread, then you might pick up an extra loaf (substitution effect). But if you were a peasant mainly eating bread, then you might actually purchase less bread and more cheese (income effect).

Inflation statistics should correspond to what people buy, like an average across households. That's essentially what the government statistical agencies attempt to do using some combination of (1) actual market transactions, and (2) household surveys. Inflation stats are definitely imperfect--but not so obviously flawed as you suggest (weighting TV prices the same as energy prices).

Since inflation numbers are an average across households, inflation will certainly differ across households. (For some it will be higher, and for others it will be lower.) It's particularly concerning when food, energy, and housing inflation are higher than other categories (as they are today). Poorer households tend to spend more money on those staple goods. In that case, inflation will be higher for those households already less well off.

When things like used cars were driving numbers people absolutely wanted to include those in the messaging. I saw zero inflation-bugs complaining that really we should be using food and energy only when those weren't the dominant forces.

All the things matter. If there was no printing, prices would still rise due to pandemic issues related to less things being built and war issues related to less energy supply.

What are the odds they would happen to choose a pipeline that

1) Isn't actually delivering gas in the present, and may never again for political reasons.

2) Is so central to ongoing international disputes as well as a war.

Point 1 negates the practical impact. Point 2, and also their failure to take credit for it, negates the symbolic value.
Figma is an excellent example of performance being a top priority to set themselves apart, since they weren't the only player in town at the time.

We had Adobe Illustrator, XD was still in beta phases, and Sketch for macOS was showing signs of bloat and major performance hangups in any considerably realistic document. Affinity Designer was also coming into the scene with stellar performance, but had a high learning curve and wasn't well suited for interactive prototyping.

Figma swooped in and solved 3 problems:

1. Availability in the browser on any platform, where native apps can't reach (and thus 10x easier sharing of documents).
2. Incredible performance on first release through their WebGL renderer, rivaling all of the native apps listed above.
3. Stayed flexible, and yet, barebones enough to get at least 80% of a designer's needs covered initially.

Performance (and stability) were primarily what won me over to it, and I'd argue probably the same for many who switched over.
In the good ol'days when profit drove value not perceived market dominance based on shoddy short-term user data created by a generation of graphic designers.
> so making it worse in this fashion doesn't achieve any particular goal that I can see.

I can see at least three goals it achieves:

1. It helped to establish the superiority of Google engineering (in the minds of Google engineers), e.g. "We can do it better because we're Google."

2. It helped somebody (or multiple somebodies) in Google get promoted.

3. It signaled to the market that even as a new entry into the gaming market that Google has a big stick to wield and publishers/developers will have to bend to their will, and /will/ do it.

Well obviously "doesn't have the operational capacity" was paired with a large but finite amount of benefit. If God came down and asked Duda if he'd like for the pipeline to blow up, that's one thing. But you also risk international condemnation if you screw it up and get caught. You could blow up a pipeline, but there's no practice round.

Well, the US literally did have a practice round, but I don't think their benefit outweighs the potential backlash either. Russia really doesn't risk backlash, but on the first order seems more harmed than not. Maybe it would force Europe to reckon with a winter without Russian gas before the winter comes? Seems pretty flimsy.

Oh, lol, you just enter your domain name as the proxy address. Neat! (Or you just click that URL and it bounces you into the Signal app. I assume the only different between the iOS and Android versions here is that the Android version can capture that request before it goes to the browser, which is probably more secure from a government/firewall perspective.)

Even if it doesn't go nuclear, millions can die. See the 2nd Congo War for a recent example, 5.4 million excess deaths due to disease and starvation. The loss of life for combatants in that war is less than the total in Russia-Ukraine so far.

Putin isn't even the worst guy in the regime. The least bloody outcome would be a Russian revolution but I think that's asking for a lot of luck and hope. For a world that's ignored the risk of having nuclear weapons, we may now unwittingly be stuck in a trap in which using them is unavoidable.

i think they grew too quickly and just hired some people that were "content" makers not real reviewers, who weren't spending the time required to actually understand, nor actually have any scientific method.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of their reviewers were getting paid on the side for their recommendations (it seemed like it might've been freelanced out reading some of the reviews).

I've seen some signs that they might be getting better... let's hope.

Trouble is if you are a revolutionary leader of some kind you are probably going to be saying new things that no-one else talks about - which renders both anonspeak and the ai detection kind of redundant.

I guess the application for this then is in the interim to stop people or online groups becoming revolutionary by tracking and deradicalising them with targeted manipulation.
They deserve it for supporting shit like Stadia. It's one rare case where smug, annoying assholes who are cheerleading the destruction of personal computing (and, if you pay attention, the slow abolition of private property) are facing some negative consequences.

I used to think that politely warning people about obvious consequences of their bad decisions it a reasonable way to go. That if you are eloquent enough and logical enough they will see the dangers. ("If you use this service right now, Google will control your games in the future.") That was a naive and stupid view. Most people have no imagination whatsoever. They are physically incapable of imagining a shitty situation directly caused by their own decisions and actions. They need a real-life example. Well, this is it.

I think that's not the best definition of an addiction. Plenty of people that smoke aren't actively trying to quit or even want to quit, but they are very clearly addicted to nicotine.

It's the reason people have interventions: for a person addicted to something, it can be hard to actually admit that they're addicted to something. That should qualify, even if that person won't admit that their behavior has become a problem.
Exercise is the main one for me. Pick something progressive and addictive, like weightlifting or distance running. You’ll get hooked but there’s a built-in limit to how much you can do per day and per week.

I try to get out of the house on various adventures or even regular walks at every opportunity now.

Also I took up some hobbies like reading and photography. Some people golf fanatically and they seem to be better off for it.

At first, I unconsciously replaced game time with social media time, doomscrolling, news. Don’t do this. Be conscious and deliberate about subbing in quality leisure time.

The main thing is to treat games like a serious addiction if it is one, and replace it with a full and rich life. This is obviously not easy, but that is, in part, the point.

> "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months,

> real GDP

> real income

real income is down ~1% since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [1]. hardly seems like a "significant decline".

> employment

employment has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [2] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

> industrial production

industrial production has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [3] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

> wholesale-retail sales

retail sales has increased since Sept 2020 or Sept 2021 [4] and infact has been steadily increasing since April 2020.

so 1 of 5 indicators shows significant decline, 1 shows minor decline, 3 show increase.

Doesn't matter what they set their fees to. If a jury decides that Visa/MC is liable for the exploitation of a minor, they will be instructed to assess punitive damages, and the whole point of punitive damages it to make it hurt for the losing party.
