i d classify it more as 'fear'. There is a pervasive attitude that every space has to be 'safe' for everyone everywhere all the time. That's infantilizing, rather than radicalizing, and it s very prominent.

>But if you do a documentary where you ask for your subjects' help, then you owe them something, and the least you can do is not exploit or spin their testimony to fit a specific point of view -- esp. a point of view they would discover after the fact. That's a betrayal.

It sounds like you are saying that it's unethical to include interviews in a documentary unless the interviewee is on board with the message of the documentary?

I don't agree with this claim either.

Suppose I'm a documentary filmmaker approaching the Sackler story with an open mind. I call up the Sacklers and say: "Would you like to tell your side of the story on camera?" They say yes. I interview them.

As I continue investigating, I discover lots of evidence that the Sacklers are villains, and their villainy ends up being the message of my documentary.

The Sacklers watch my film and discover it has a point of view they dislike. They feel that they've been exploited, that their testimony was spun, and that I owed it to them to not betray them this way, since they helped me with the documentary.

Do you agree with the Sacklers in this hypothetical?

Personally, I don't find the argument as stated particularly persuasive. If the Sacklers could demonstrate that their interview footage was cut in a way that misrepresented what they said, then I'd find fault with the documentarian on the grounds of making a misleading documentary. But I don't believe in a reciprocity obligation of the kind you describe. It seems to me that such an obligation is incompatible with the idea of investigative journalism.

Side note: In practice, it is already in the self-interest of journalists to play this kind of "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" game, in order to gain continued access to their subjects. I don't think it is a good idea to pile additional enforcement on top of the incentives that already exist.
"Good purpose" is ambiguous. Even if you start with a "reasonableness standard" that is something like a "test particle" that is white, male, raised in Minnesota to vaguely Christian parents born in the 80's watched Sponge Bob squarepants, it's less ambiguous. It means respecting the law, including ones you don't agree with. Including the laws that you think it would be good to break.

This server sits there as a perfect vehicle from which to break the law. It's like someone leaving a fleet of getaway cars and guns, with tips on which banks are loaded right now left on the drivers side seat, and delivering it to a poor neighborhood, where it is rational to accept higher risk for a higher reward.

There may be some who use it out of intellectual curiosity, and who are careful not to run afoul of any laws. LEOs will be of this type, I assume. I'm curious to know what is in that 8GB of tools that is included in every shell, for example. So for me the appeal would be a "safe" place to play with tools that I may have concern about even installing myself and what lists that adds me too. So in that sense its quite a good thing, it is freeing from risk of state involvement if your experiment/exploration goes wrong.

Presumably all serious hacking attempts originate from a remote process anyway, as only a very silly/young/foolish hacker would try certain tools from their actual home IP address and personal laptop. So one argument for this service is that it reduces the demand for (coerced) botnet nodes. If you squint your eyes it's a similar argument for providing clean needles and methodone to a community, no questions asked. No, it's ugly that people use, but it's even uglier that people use and reuse/share needles to avoid detection.

So while I agree it's probably a honeypot, there is also a sound argument for it to exist, legitimately, as a public service - a hacker's hamsterdam.
4xxx series is newest gen. As it goes they've made it more powerful and new technology to do so.

xxXx = Big X is "power". So 9 is highest, 8, 7, 6, 5 (3090/3080/3070) etc.

Bigger has more compute power, usually more RAM and more power requirements.

That's pretty much it. Figure out what you want to do, and then find a card that does that. Want ML? highest RAM you can get. Want high resolution gaming, high ram, high compute power.
Beyond questionable. It's anti-intellectual defeatism.

Doge.hair: Elon's Dream
I don't think that's entirely Fair. Anything you learned at a young age you're going to have more potential in. If you were introduced to X as a kid, you have years of doing or practicing X that someone else will never have, and those years come when your brain is still developing.

In my area the schools are providing computers at a young age and spending time teaching STEAM topics, for example. It's not going to make everybody into Nikola Tesla, but the effort to do something about it does exist.
On a simple level the more expensive cards have more transistors, more VRAM, and hence are faster and support running bigger ML models if your models have high VRAM requirements.

The newer generations also have a spate of new gaming, video, and ML technologies that make some aspects of all those things faster. TDLR: More expensive = better.

Or, alternatively, they’re passionate kids with priorities that are different from yours and you’re out of the loop.

Denser cities and electric bikes would go a long way. But somehow in the US people only want to go places in a deadly metal box, even to fetch bread.
I've been thinking about this lately, and to put it bluntly, my conclusion is with the "sound money" people, that monetary intervention at the whims of bureaucrats has progressively poisoned the economy as the information system it is. Basically all irrationality observed both at the macro and micro level (down to individual insanity) is due to something being wrong with how money is made and allocated. This creates irrational behavior at top level, and that trickles down from there.

The first 1-2 numbers is the generation of Nvidia gpu. The latest 4 generations are 10xx, 20xx, 30xx, and 40xx. The last two numbers differentiate between gpus within a generation. The higher the number the better the gpu, xx70, xx80, and xx90 are common. So the newest gpus that Nvidia are putting out are the 4080 and the 4090, their newest generation and top two performing cards within that generation. In-between generations they usually release a ti variant of the card (3080ti) which is a moderately better version but not a new generation.

Without having actually done the research the White House is now funding, we can't just draw these conclusions and dismiss the ideas as impractical. Funding the research is good. Maybe there is a relatively cheap (can be funded by one nation) and reversible way to do this, don't we have to at least try to find it?

There is no rational reason to be against gathering more information.

> It's far cheaper just to replace, say, 1-3% of fossil fuel production per year with equivalent wind/solar/storage.

I’m not sure it’s as true now as it was 20 years ago, but I do remember seeing several campaigns raising awareness of the risks of antibiotic abuse.

At any rate, you’re not necessarily contradicting GP. You can both know that antibiotics don’t help with viral infections and also believe that antibiotic use is harmless. Put the two together, and giving your kids antibiotics “just in case” seems perfectly reasonable.

I will tell you, having been approached by Accenture a number of times that the rates they offer their consultants are far below what a decent consultant expects to get paid. You get what you pay for. You're mileage may vary.
> But not even trying? I don't think that's a rational and informed decision.

My GP told me that for mild to cases of mild to moderate depression, he’s hesitant about introducing antidepressants-be said they can worsen concentration at work, impairing performance, thereby introducing additional life stressors, leading to more depression not less. A person seeking antidepressants who was dissuaded from doing so by that advice is arguably making a much more informed choice than if he’d just given them what they wanted from the start.

Of course, there comes a degree of severity (drawing that line is sometimes a subjective judgement call) when he doesn’t have these qualms any more.

Although (this is my view, don’t know whether he agrees), if one’s situation is severe enough to warrant trying antidepressants, they might not be enough. While I’m no great fan of antipsychotics, if I was in a real crisis situation, I’d much rather something that delivers noticeable results right away, than something which might take 2-4 weeks to do nothing.

WASHINGTON—Saying the move would help ensure the safety of the American people, the Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday that it would be replacing the Statue of Liberty with a statue of a gun. “We believe this new statue will better represent the values of our nation and the ideals we hold dear,” said DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, adding that the new statue would be a more accurate representation of the country’s history and culture. “The Statue of Liberty has long been a symbol of America’s commitment to freedom and opportunity, but we believe a statue of a gun better reflects the country we are today.” Nielsen added that the new statue would be a Glock 17, which she said was the most popular handgun in the United States.

WASHINGTON—Saying that the nation’s capital was in a state of “utter chaos,” the nation’s top political pundits reported Friday that they were completely unable to make sense of the current state of affairs. “I’ve been watching the news all day, and I’m just as confused as I was this morning,” said CNN political analyst David Gergen, adding that he was “totally at a loss” as to what was going on in the nation’s capital. “I’ve been trying to make sense of the situation, but I just can’t. I’m not sure what’s happening, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen next. I’m just as confused as everyone else.” At press time, the nation’s top political pundits were reportedly “completely baffled” by the fact that they were still being paid to appear on television.

WASHINGTON—In a move that has been described as “unprecedented” and “unconstitutional,” the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the president is above the law. “We have determined that the president is not subject to any laws, and that he is free to do whatever he wants,” said Chief Justice John Roberts, adding that the president is “not bound by any legal precedent, nor is he required to follow any statute, regulation, or judicial ruling.” “The president is not required to obey any law, and he is not subject to any legal consequences for his actions. He is above the law.” Roberts went on to say that the president is also not subject to any laws of physics, and that he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, to whomever he wants.
> Zeek (formerly Bro)

People that encountered network security probably know the name "Bro" much better. Apparently they rebranded in 2018.

Wikipedia has the following to say about it:

> Dr. Paxson originally named the software "Bro" as a warning regarding George Orwell's Big Brother from the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In 2018 the project leadership team decided to rename the software. At LBNL in the 1990s, the developers ran their sensors as a pseudo-user named “zeek”, thereby inspiring the name change in 2018.
I'm not providing a reference with this comment but I've heard numerous times that at the time of the polio epidemic it was a common observation that kids raised in "rough" conditions, i.e. on the streets and exposed to all the insalubrity that goes with it, were handling polio infections much better than kids raised with modern hygiene. The so-called "hygiene hypothesis"...
Dunno where you're from, but where I'm from, it is pretty much the opposite world. You're a red flag if you don't see yourself as having fun. Yes, this includes most webdev shoves where one does the equivalent of shoveling virtual manure. (No, I don't agree with this, either).

>Why do people think they can "play with new technologies" at work

Because software dev is a step above code monkeying and people value being able to grow. Which requires experimentation.

It's unprofessional when there are higher priorities or you can't make a potential business case.
It looks like they charge for the materials to offset the cost. This whole program, to ensure Americans get what they pay for in consumer items, is a much better use of my tax dollars than, say, paying for rich kids college loans.

You find yourself on the other side of a government regulator action and what do you do? Stumble your way though it for the first time while redirecting business critical assets to an unfamiliar one time project or hire a group of people who have been standing on the other side of these regulators twice a year for the last 20 years?

No one wants to tell the emperor he has no clothes. I work remotely at a AAA game studio with a lot of smart, techie people. No one at that company wants to do our work in VR, and no one at FB does, either. Even Second Life wasn't useful for business and we've had 20 years to figure that out.

You can also mod an X230 or a T430 with a xx20 keyboard, which is worth it as the CPU/GPU and USB ports are all a decent upgrade. You need to flash the embedded controller though, to remap the keys - also worth it, to use a third-party battery. The process is not too difficult, you just need to compile the stuff, make a bootable flash drive, and boot from it - no soldering etc.

If your goal is genuinely to find thoughtful and informational content, daily internet browsing won't be the place to get it. The RSS hand-picked blog approach is mostly going to provide you comfort food that mimics the real thing. Sticking with blogs means you stick exclusively with the sort of ideas that end up in blogs, for better or for worse. That's not even mentioning the English-language cultural filter.

The long form articles or "serious" publications also suffer from a similar problem, in that the fact that you pay for them or that the journalist spent some thoughtful time on these pieces is no guarantee that you will be getting something truly valuable. Or you might be getting the sense that you are doing something important, while actually just gobbling up disconnected tidbits which don't really amount to anything concrete. This is what makes HN such a sophisticated trap.

Ultimately, reading (non-junk) books and reading widely is more or less the only solution. Unfortunately, finding which books you'd want to read is something you'll have to figure out on your own because it is intimately connected to the precise parameters of your own life.

I’ve seen a single PDF which is the internal developer guide to a certain ARM based processor from years ago and that PDF was well over 1,000x in size to that hard drive. Yes, there were some pictures and charts, but most of that was just text, thousand upon thousand pages of detailed specs.
All currently updated Fedora releases use the same kernel release, that is, every kernel update is released to all currently updated Fedora release at the same time (with slight timing differences for the migration from "testing" to "stable"). If you look at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=kernel right now you see 5.19.15-x01 for Fedora 35, 36, and 37 (the 5.19.15-x00 packages didn't have these fixes, the 5.19.15-x01 packages have them).
Even if the government went to the trouble of creating the Debian package, they wouldn't allow it to run on an OS that doesn't support a particularly restrictive "Secure Boot" setup, which would provide the mobile network with a remote attestation that you are running only "certified" packages and system services (including a minimal set of mandatory ones).

Naturally, this certification process would ban apps which could spoof the UI of any official apps, but the ban would have to go further and include any apps which users have built from source themselves. End-to-end encrypted messaging apps (without backdoors) would similarly be banned.

At that point, the fact that you have the source code for all of the software running on your surveillance device isn't much comfort. What good is a phone when you are unable to speak?
