Personally, I try soak up nuggets of info from "alt right", libertarian and prepper channels or sources. If you're comfortable wading through things you disagree with, then you will get a ton of info.

There is just something too "sanitized" and "prepared" about mainstream sources that I actively distrust them on any heated topic.
Why is job security outdated? The ‘gig economy’ with flexible arrangements seems to suit exploitative employers great. Workers peeing in bottles and the workplace culture in such jobs seems Dickensian.

What is the point of a job? To me the point is to look after people (from both the employer and employee’s perspective).
The launch of the 4080s is still a ways off.

I doubt any partners had designs finalized, given the rumors of how little time they are given to do that before each launch (which is a problem in its own right, and one of the things they are know to complain about).

I think d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is the md5 sum of "nothing", e.g. md5 reverse will get you a zero-length stream of characters.

(granted this is entirely without looking at the data) but my guess is that they MD5 hashed whatever was in that apartment_id column and if it was empty it spat out d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

I read the Chris Hedges book when it came out and it's left a lasting impression on me. I think it got rid of any academic notions of war I may have had. One part that I'll always remember was him saying the war criminals were the pundits on TV leading up to and during the Bulkan war, they held much guilt in leading the masses to the terrible outcomes. The other counter intuitive insight it gives is how wars have this strange effect on some people where they can relinquish their day-to-day worries/anxiety/failings and instead can find some kind of strange peace or even thrive in a more black/white just-survive reset of society. I should probably read it again.

Plenty of Android devices have kernels that are too old to be vulnerable. Versions 5.1 and newer are vulnerable.
The funny thing is Nvidia already has 2 sub-part-numbers for better-than-the-xxx0-cards, without creating another line of xxx5 products. The 16GB could have been branded 4080 Ti or 4080 Super with the 12GB being the 'base' 4080.
The amount of negative press around the 4080 12GB was not insignificant:

meh, the way you're talking about the things that women do more comes off as pretty condescending

"I feel" / "maybe we should" are not weasel words, they are phrases to start a conversation with an acknowledgement that you're not perfect

"effusive praise for pedestrian situations" what does this even mean, different people speak more emphatically about things

"don't get me started on emojis" why not?

you're not saying anything hateful or whatever, but idk, if you were having this conversation with me in real life, I would come away with the impression that you do not take women very seriously
Closing businesses, canceled warehouses, hiring freezes: Amazon’s new frugality
> They say it is a dangerous example of 'technosolutionism': turning to technology to provide quick fixes for deep-rooted discrimination issues that require investment and changes to company culture.

I definitely agree with this sentiment, however I think it's also important to remember how bad human reviewers are. I think a lot of times, because it is harder to collect data measuring the effect of human systems, we focus on how bad AI systems are. At least with an algorithm you can:

- try to identify biases via testing

- back test changes to see how those biases change

I think given the choice between equally biased human and algorithmic systems, I would have more faith that the algorithmic system could be meaningfully changed in the near term than a human system.
You're in luck though, because nobody is ever going to use this format.
Now now, you can't expect them to think of everything now can you? /s
[MS-OXORMMS] reuses cryptography from [MS-RMPR] as the offending 15 year old specification that allows ECB to be used (as well as padded and unpadded CBC) for encrypting the content blob within the message.rpmsg attachment to "protected e-mails". As the original article states, Microsoft have kept using ECB for backwards compatibility with their 13 year old product Office 2010 that reached end of life 2 years ago (Oct 2020)[1].

Despite all the talk about "Purview Advanced Message Encryption" replacing whatever came before it, a recent demonstration[2] shows attachments labelled "message_v4.rpmsg"[3] and "message_v3.rpmsg"[4] being sent to an external Gmail recipient so it appears [MS-OXORMMS]/[MS-RMPR] are still being relied upon but perhaps the server part of [MS-RMPR] is now only implemented by Azure and has no on-premises implementation?

In one of the examples[4], the "Purview Advanced Message Encryption" feature allows "message_v3.rpmsg" to be sent as an attachment to an external recipient that then doesn't have permission to view the e-mail. Why send an encrypted message to someone that is meant to have no means to decrypt it?

> In many cases, he slept on the plane, and never even got a hotel room.

Doesn't sound like such a great life. Anything short of a bed is pretty awful to sleep, let alone planes; even less once-a-day long-haul flights that would allow any acceptable amount of sleep.

I'd guess "never even got a hotel room" is an exaggeration.
100% agree. We always keep all tokens (not just AWS secret keys) in a separate file that is never checked into the repo and are passed into the CloudFormation template at deployment. (The error in this case was a new repo hastily pushed and .gitignore wasn't properly updated to exclude the file with the keys.) But we've since switched to using AWS Secrets which is a much better solution.
That's how it works though. What you end up with is different groups looking at different data to support whatever narrative is convenient for them. Then they call the other people idiots who can't see what is blatantly obvious.

In a previous post about LiteFS [1], the creator Ben commented on how clients could maintain a monotonically consistent view of the database [2] even in the presence of replication lag and updates made by the client. I think this is a pretty good (TM) strategy that should work well for a majority of applications.

> > To improve latency, we're aiming at a scale-out model that works similarly to Fly Postgres. That's to say: writes get forwarded to the primary and all read requests get served from their local copies.

> How can you ensure that a client that just performed a forwarded write will be able to read that back on their local replica on subsequent reads?

> LiteFS provides a transaction ID that applications can use to determine replication lag. If the replica is behind the TXID, it can either wait or it can forward to the primary to ensure consistency.

Please tell this old guy what "ACAB" means.
It is of course not to scale. You simply couldn't see any satellites unless looking at ridiculously small areas. Most of them measure a few meters at best.
Depending on the country this can ring very true when it comes to food in my experience. i.e where popular = worse.

The most extreme experience I had was for a brief stay in Thailand, where the main tourist streets are filled with ridiculously glamorous looking and very busy restaurants serving the blandest meals (by anyone's opinion) with the most watered down and expensive drinks I've ever had. I don't think anyone could ever eat at one more than once.

But within only a couple streets distance you can find amazing street food for a fraction of the price and eat like a king, which is exactly what all the locals were eating. Some westerners might be a little worried about hygiene but they cook it right in front of you and honestly I think the tourist restaurants were a complete facade and are probably have far less hygienic kitchens hidden away... Since then, in foreign lands, I'm more wary of places filled with tourists and few locals.
Because even if every American stopped driving _tomorrow_, we are still going to have the effects of climate change anyway. We can't stop India and China from developing, so instead of trying to limit the rights of Americans to do something which might not even help, it's better to develop a solution such as in TFA.
> if someone uses a woman emoji she is definitely a woman unless there's a specific reason to do so.

I'm a man, and I sometimes use woman emojis because I like the look, or because it's fun. Do either of those count as "a specific reason to do so" in your framing? If not, consider how well your observations actually generalize to the world, and thus the universality of your statements.
Apple's method of 2FA, where they display the code on one of your Apple devices for secondary confirmation, would be somewhat akin to the scenario of how WebAuthn could work as 2FA by asking for confirmation on supported devices. I find this quite annoying as I don't use an iPhone (a mobile phone is one of the few devices that you always keep with you).

That said, the key thing to consider here is security vs ease of use. The more you opt for ease of use (like writing down your password or saving your password in your browser or WebAuthn passkey or using a password manager), the more you sacrifice security with varying degree (as the risk of password leaking increases). I'd say the proposed passkeys is definitely one of the worse option here (akin to saving your password in your browser) as anyone with access to your device will be able to access all your accounts without even needing to know your credentials.

At a previous employer, our software eng org migrated from on prem infrastructure supported by a systems engineering team to infrastructure in the cloud owned by the dev team.

One challenge was that, while we were lucky to score some talented systems engineers who joined dev teams, it wasn't easy to communicate to leadership that owning and managing infrastructure from the public internet all the way into the database requires knowledge and experience that software engineers might not have.

I tried putting together a PluralSight channel for us to use internally to help onboard new team members. We had access to AWS sandbox accounts where we had no proprietary data, and could build infra as needed to learn and/or experiment with ideas/designs/new services.

You can target people with this experience when hiring, but just getting qualified devs was hard a year ago, let alone people who also had systems experience/knowledge. A lot of the candidates worked somewhere with a QA team who tested their code, a dev ops team who managed a CI/CD process and managed releasing their code, a database team who owned the database cluster, a networking team who owned networking infrastructure, etc.

Really what you're looking for is somebody who likes to code, but also is interested in systems enough to at some point go read the RFC, run Wireshark, etc. I know a little about networking because I ran my own firewall on OpenBSD years ago, have been hosting e-mail and web for over 20yrs, etc. We got lucky with a few hires who lived and breathed code and systems engineering, but it will be challenging to retain people like that in a hot market.

At the end of it all, I couldn't really come up with a way to effectively accelerate learning these skills and getting that experience.

I started the same day as a new grad, and will never forget when, at the end of the day, he said "you mean I have to keep learning?" Yes, yes we do. Still do.

edit: I'd be interested in working on putting content together if people think it would be valuable.

The 48 DIMMs problem is not so bad...

Remember those problems where you are given n gold coins (among which one is fake) and a balance, and the task is to find the minimal number of weighting operations to identify the fake coin.

So, you go binary search looking for the borked DIMM, load 24 DIMMs see if it crashes, if no crash -> the borked DIMM is in the other pile, rinse and repeat...

Not the first time that Nvidia has released completely different GPUs under the same name. Around 2006, they had 2 existing variants of the 8800GTS(320mb and 640Mb VRAM). A year later, they launched a new 8800GTS with a newer GPU and 512Mb. The newer card was much faster than the both older versions of the card. I can only imagine that this caused lots of confusion for uninformed consumers who might think 640 > 512 > 320.
Just curious ;-) Whom are you thanking in particular?
The web page authors? The browser programmers? The OS programmers? Perhaps the graphics driver programmers? HN? The OP? The readers of your comment?

Yikes.

Russia and many other governments keep dossiers on people who the government deems concerning. This is not a surprise.

But the corruption in the military is concerning to me because the military is 1 step from power, and living in America, thinking that a massive neighbor could be coup'd by their military, or could practically be a military dictatorship, is intimidating. Laws should keep power balanced in the hands of civilian and non-civilian. If that is overridden dramatically like this example cites, then that creates a very large risk.

What a tremendously ignorant take. Do you get your science only from pop-sci articles 4 degrees removed from actual scientists? Can you point to any actual examples of this happening?
The article is also about other law enforcement agents enforcing the laws against that.
In a lot of the cases I think defund the police is only the right answer when treated as a zero sum scenario, and there may actually be a bunch of cases where it makes economic sense to do _both_ . (ie the outputs are of greater value than the inputs and progressively increase the pie over time) .
Even as a Rust user, I'd prefer to reduce the attack surface by having a userspace network stack. Tanenbaum gets the last laugh.

Of course, once it's in userspace you can write it in whatever language you want. But as a network-facing component, yes, it should preferably be written in a memory-safe language as much as possible, since it's extremely high-risk and the first target for remote adversaries.

Ok, now I'm confused. I 100% agree with that statement. I thought your whole point was that OPs code was not a valid way to sample from a binomial distribution?

But then what is your criticism? Are you arguing that the Binomial distribution does not model the original experiment correctly?

> when I see how Americans live, I definitely do not wish to join them.

Everyone's entitled to their preferences, but more people migrate to the US than any other country in the world, so it's evident that a lot people do wish to join them. And 7-8 of the top 10 recipients of global cross-border migration is to first-world countries, the inhabitants of which consume orders of magnitude more energy (even if that's less than Texans do) than those of the origin countries; so clearly many people other than myself vote with their feet to and go where more energy and resources are consumed per capita than less. Will you call all of those people myopic for pursuing a richer life, as well?

> Are you prepared to hear that it is simply not possible? We have finite resources.

Absolutely! I'm not wishing for sunshine and rainbows to appear magically and raise everyone's living standards. I simply choose to step out of the way of the people who are doing so by any means, including burning fossil fuels. And though it is axiomatically true that we live in a physical universe and therefore our resources are finite, I hope you're equally prepared to hear that in terms of the primary materials that go into producing the things that people consume, we've really just only scratched the surface of the Earth. It's pretty big. We're quite a long ways from where we need to mine other planets for resources.

> Once our ecosystem has collapsed, a possibility we see approaching close and closer

Eh. This gets repeated over and over with little evidence. Flooding in flood plains? Bring in the big earthmoving equipment, run the concrete plans, all powered by fossil fuels, and build dams. Cities with temperate climates experiencing more heat waves? Insulate homes and put in air conditioning. We'll adapt, or at least I will.

Punitive damages have to be large enough to discourage the harmful behavior. That means they need to be scaled to the budget of the person doing the harm, not to the harm itself. Maybe the State should keep whatever of the punitive part seems too much larger than the actual damage.

The alternative is that the fine is just "cost of doing business". Rich people park any old place, any old time, and just pay their parking fines. OK for city government revenue, but bad for public safety, and worse for fairness and civic life.
It's more likely to work the other way around. Suppose you train your system to try to match human hiring decisions, and some of your hiring managers have an unconscious bias against members of group X, enough to make a small difference in probability of hiring. Training the model will probably find that bias, and the effect may be that belonging to group X, alone, will have a negative weight in the model. So unconscious biases may become explicit.

There are ways around this: test the model by presenting credentials that are identical except for (is in group X) vs (is in group Y) and looking for major discrepancies.
Probably a result of the over-financialization of everything. It seems that once someone enters the proverbial "rat-race", there's really no stopping. Always got to get ahead, always got to compare yourself to someone who is wealthier, fitter, smarter, etc. Even passtimes or hobbies seem to have a competitive element to them "oh you like (activity)? Why haven't you made any money doing it?"

Seems we've forgotten how to simply do things because we genuinely enjoy them, regardless of skill, ability to generate income from them, etc. Which is kind of sad if you think about it.
