> Frankly this is absurd.

What's absurd is Apple's software sending requests to random and entirely-unvetted servers without even so much as notifying the user, let alone obtaining consent.

> Did you know that the file system of your computer contains your personal data, including files you save?

Why yes, and that would just so happen to be the reason why I ain't exactly comfortable with closed-source software silently sifting through it and blindly following anything and everything vaguely resembling a URL or encoding thereof.

> EDIT: No, that’s not what exfiltration means. You are simply misusing the word.

https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/data-exfilt...:

"A common data exfiltration definition is the theft or unauthorized removal or movement of any data from a device. Data exfiltration typically involves a cyber criminal stealing data from personal or corporate devices, such as computers and mobile phones, through various cyberattack methods.

"Another data exfiltration meaning is data exportation and extrusion, data leakage, or data theft, which can pose serious problems for organizations. Failing to control information security can lead to data loss that could cause reputational and financial damage to an organization."

Thanks to this crawler, anyone who sends you even so much as a QR-encoded image of a link will know that it was successfully received, that it was a macOS machine that received it, and quite possibly the public IP address of the machine that received it. That's data that's worth preventing disclosure, for the same reasons email clients often don't load images in emails by default.
Well, it's not as if there are any libertarians left.
Anyone with a consumer card is benefiting from this work right now, if they're on Adrenalin version 22.7.1 or higher (from July).

The professional validation of their professional-level drivers for their professional-level cards isn't some kind of proprietary driver segregation, it's a strong guarantee that these drivers are functioning and stable for professional users to stake their business on.

"The AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q3 driver has been tested and approved by Dell, HP, and Lenovo for stability and is available through their driver downloads"

For my gaming PC, I'm okay trying new drivers and maybe seeing some graphical glitches and having to downgrade. For a professional workstation, I would not deploy new drivers unless I know they're going to be as stable and reliable as the ones I have already. A 79% performance bump is useless if it crashes Maya every two hours or something.

LOL
Yes you are both right to correct me.

I will get in trouble with my wife because the feds will rat me out to her for something stupid these hypothetical kids end up doing.
You seem to think, and I don't agree, that "cheater" is like "felon", a label which is applied after some process.

I consider it like "thief". A thief is a thief when they thieve. A cheater is a cheat when they cheat.
> Recovery codes are meant to be recorded when enabling 2FA. They can then be used (once per code) in place of a 2FA code, in case of your predicament. Have you perhaps noted these down somewhere?

I don't think they were ever set up for this account, or I would have a record of them, and Google would presumably be offering them as an alternate recovery option (it's not).

I could get a recovery code via my primary email since I still have access to that but Google isn't offering to send one there either.
despite the shortcomings and ambition of Nix, I've been amazed at how it's catching on. I see shell.nix files in tons of mainstream projects now, or Nix used to set up CI environments or package projects.

it gives me hope. I just wish the boilerplate were less arcane. Nix is a relatively elegant language, I'm not sure why nixpkgs is so ugly.
> all skills are available for everyone

Exactly this!

We no longer have to pay the 10,000 hours to specialize.

The opportunity cost to choose our skill sets is huge. In the future, we won't have to contend with that horrible choice anymore. Anyone will be able to paint, play the piano, act, code, and more.
There is literally a billboard on the highway in British Columbia that is a pair of skidmarks descending into a valley with large font that says "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD". During the night this sign is lit like a christmas tree, very bright.

I could never get over how difficult it was to ignore that stupid billboard every time I crossed it.

Create an agency of one (yourself) and use the AI tools. Profit from the margins between the cost of the AI (likely near zero as time goes on) and what you charge customers.

Large scale storage is not cost effective with current tech. It is not just a civic engineering problem.

Solar power is very cheap, but a complete 24/7 solution requires batteries. Those are much more expensive than the panels. A better battery is all we need. Panels are good enough already.
Things only cost that much per unit because they are one-offs. The trick to saving pots of money is to build duplicates, which will not incur research, design, tooling, test rig, etc., costs.
These do all sound like interesting ideas, but in our current Cambrian explosion of new databases (especially "X open-source SQL database you know and love, but distributed" forks) - you can fork SQLite and build that without being needlessly confrontational about it, or including the language about how they'll rejoin SQLite if their terms are met, which makes me feel like this is a fork about leverage as much as realizing a different vision for a database.
I'm not so sure it will be that easy to exactly control the output of the AI algos. This is not that important when doing art for art's sake but, for commercial purposes, if you can't make that can of coke slightly bigger or more redder, or have the teenage in the picture hold it slighlty differently (all as per client's feedback), the tool might be a failure.
You’re conflating the ability to make things for the masses and being able to automatically generate it.

Film production is already commoditized and anyone can make high end content.

Being able to automatically create that is a different argument than what you posit.
not op, but i often see people trying to push their old mindset on a language they are learning, which is a bad approach. maybe i miss sth, but i don't see how any knowledge from python is applicable to rust. so it may be beneficial to clear your mind and go from zero.

I've muted all phone calls for anyone not on my contact list because of robocalls. It's absurd that this is a problem in 2022.
To be fair, making a robot to fix a specific kind of dishwasher whose internal layout is known and where fixes involve replacing parts already meant to be replaceable is probably a lot easier than one that can fix any dishwasher. Same with sorting trash.

The big point here is that this boosting and potentially servicing mission isn't being pitched by NASA. It's a SpaceX proposal connected to their entirely private program to develop EVA capability for Dragon and to eventually test Starship's ability to support crews in space. Thus for NASA it would likely be cheaper than if they were asking for it.

So the reason we likely won't see a robotic servicing of Hubble (from this) is that it doesn't have as much relevance to SpaceX's goals with Polaris Dawn as just docking, orbit raising and maybe crewed servicing does.
The "deflationary spiral" has empirical evidence from a fair number of financial crises in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It happened. A lot. And it was really destructive when it did.

I definitely did that once or twice, just send a small craft with some RCS thrusters and reaction wheels then attach it to spacecraft via The Claw
I've been interested in this topic recently, I hate my AVR, but there isn't a better alternative. I've been hoping instead of an AVR I could pipe HDMI into my PC and run DIRAC there, but I've yet to find a capture card that can capture DTS/Atmos etc, so it hasn't been fruitful
> What is a reasonable adder to enable the ability to automatically dock and boost Hubble with a second stage using a stock first stage F9?

Not really sure.

But honestly, it needs a crewed mission. There's not much point to raising Hubble's orbit without replacing the reaction control wheels. And that'd basically require an EVA.
Do you mean Rutherford B Hayes? Andrew Jackson died in 1845, 16 years before the civil war began.
The explanation for the retraction doesn't explain that user agent string. It's weird enough coming from macOS; it's even weirder coming from Firefox.

The behavior's still concerning in any case, whether it's macOS silently doing it or Firefox silently doing it.
Look at it this way. If you enter an Apple Store, see that iPhone doesn't have a audiojack - you leave. There's no record or way of asking you anything.

"Big Box" stores will not question you for the reasons why you bought a Nokia over a OnePlus. Their market research doesn't focus on that. They also don't share customer data with Apple, Nokia or OnePlus.

Neither does Apple have it in their culture to ask, what people want.

I disagree. It's a rudimentary features of all these models to take a concept picture and refine it. It won't be like the director would give a prompt and get a feature length movie, it will be more like the director uses MS Paint (as in a common software for non tech people) to make a scene outline and directs AI to make a stylish and animated version of that. Something is wrong? just erase it and try again. Dalle2 had this interface from the get go. The models just haven't gotten there yet.
I 100% agree; the login is goofy, but overall I prefer the site because it uses a relatively simple UI (and isn't concerned with the latest design fad) to show me relatively simple data. I use Ally for retail banking and now the page loads but it takes several (very noticeable) seconds to load my account balances and while it's doing that, I have to wonder how computers which can do literally billions of operations per second with multi-gigabyte network links can take so long to load a single number. I'll take the 1998 look over that any day.

India's HDI (Human Development Index) is worse than half of sub-Sahara African countries. Who bear the brunt of this dire statistics? The higher caste or the dalits and the adivasis? India should spend money on this vulnerable people but the Modi government is talking of spending money to dress up the capital or other vanity projects. When confront Indian will readily cite they have a dalit president or this or that to address Western sensibilities but the ground reality is that Indian's caste culture hasn't changed. And that is the problem.
There's already several companies doing that kinda thing for telescopes that point back down at earth. For telescopes that point away from earth I don't think anyone wants to do it because there's not much $$ in it.

I've seen at least a few startups try similar kinda things ("let's launch a constellation of cheap satellites and rent time on them out!") and they flopped hard. My favorite tried marketing as a "cryptocurrency in space" thing (LMFAO)

AKA a "death spiral".
There’s a gap between ‘did not achieve its stated aims’ and ‘did not win any actual rights’ that is big enough to drive a truck through…

Also, Andrew Jackson wasn’t a very nice guy, but he’d been dead for 28 years when the Civil War ended. Can’t really blame him for how things worked out at that point.
Not sure how deadly it was, but there was widespread avian flu earlier this year. I stopped putting bird seed in our feeder for months because of it, since feeders is a good way to spread it.

But I recently started putting seed out again and the birds are coming back, so maybe it's just where you live. I live in the Midwest.

Also bad joke (and I don't mean it), but your headline made me think of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXsIfpnThFA

That's a very reductionist point of view which glosses over history.
Is Postgres ever going to allow automatic partitioning?

Something like:

CREATE TABLE logs (
time TIMESTAMPTZ,
data JSONB
) PARTITION ON time IN INTERVAL '1 day'

And it just creates/manages these partitions for every day?

If you can already manage partitions like this manually it feels like the next step is to just have it be automatic. So you have less of a need to switch to Timescale or ClickHouse or whatever other database as the amount of data you're storing/querying grows. (Yeah that's a handwave-y suggestion but at least you could stick with Postgres for longer.)
Think "probably" vs "provably" (it's about pronunciation/spelling)
Your stereo's electronics are also pretty well protected against radiation. That radiation has a habit of frying electronics (even rad hard ones) after a while.
It briefly discusses DALL-E and imagine models near the end, which seems to paper over a big part research in AI right now, but that also wasn't the point of the article, which is fair. What I find interesting is that this reminds me how AI is being trained on a very narrow set of human inputs. Images, text, possibly some video, but there's a huge amount of data governing human behavior that is none of those things. Facial expressions, body language, tone, diet, environment, etc. etc. etc. I'm sure it's coming, but it feels a long way off.
Yeah, i get it every time when setting up a new 2FA service anywhere + some remind me once in a while (on login) to download backup codes (for services where I haven't done so yet).
Try again and do what? How are you directing the shot? How do you erase an emotion? How do you erase and redo inner turmoil when delivering a performance?

Right—the ones who survive in the industry will be the ones who use these tools to increase their output 5x or more (while someone who's only good at the prompt-crafting part and isn't an expert at image manipulation might only hit 1x-2x the pro's prior output)

Generally I try to avoid VPSs. They are long lived, it's easy to accumulate undocumented state, and have substantial memory, disk I/O, and network I/O overhead. You may end up with a years old VPS with many changes over the years, and ugly things accumulate. Maybe you built a package from source, but now it's got a security vulnerability, but your forgot it's there. So apt upgrade doesn't help. Not to mention any security fix assumes you aren't already compromised. A rebuilt container (I suggest proxmox or docker) rebuilt will remove any previous existing compromise. Sure you can clone an old VPS... but you still don't know exactly what changes have been made, and if it was compromised the clone is as well.

Much better to have docker (or similar) build script, a ansible play, or a puppet manifest. They will clearly list needed packages, config files, services, at least in puppet's case you'll have the "trifecta". The trifecta is a mapping between a service, the required packages, and the config files. So Puppet can notice a config file change, restart a service, and if a package is missing install it. So puppet is to a degree self healing, even when an admin edits a file on the guest/container/VPS instead of in puppet and it's fixed on the next puppet run.

That way years later it's not big deal to upgrade the OS, or replace one piece of the stack with another, then apply ALL the changes you've done so far, and test the result.

I can tell you from experience it's a nightmare to inherit somebody else's VPS that has 3 python installs, tons of services, and requires manual intervention on boot to start/stop services. Would be MUCH better if it was just managed by config management and everything except the base OS is controlled by ansible/puppet.

Often custom VPSs are called pets or snowflakes (with a negative connotation), much better to make them easy to replace as needed, like cows (with a positive connotation) as the saying goes.
> in any case, power plug type G is by far the safest and best.

That's utter crap. We had this argument multiple times, and somehow people without proof call it "best and safest"... when facts state that it is just not the case.

We're not "officially" in a recession because the midterms are just around the corner. The numbers they use to judge inflation, GDP, recession are all fudged for political purposes. I don't need some greased politician or partisan body to tell me that.

This would be the same regardless of which party were in power, the government lies.
That sounds a lot like the EU v1.0:
