I mean it's literally in TFA:

"In late September Micron, an Idaho-based maker of memory chips, reported a 20% year-on-year fall in quarterly sales. A week later amd, a Californian chip designer, slashed its sales estimate for the third quarter by 16%. Within days Bloomberg reported that Intel plans to lay off thousands of staff, following a string of poor results"

But most of the article is about how they're building new fabs in America, right when sales to China are being restricted. So its about a future surge in supply and reduction in demand.

> If Copilot itself is infringing then so is GPT-3, DALL-E 2, NovelAI, and Stable Diffusion.

I genuinely think that all of them are. But that's not why I'm against them.

We've seen the effects that text and image generators have on the bottom segment of content generation (SEO pages). As the technology matures, it'll displace more and more, in both arts and engineering.
I have some bitter taste about that myself. First they offshore[1] to anywhere, but US, but the moment US makes it geopolitically risky, US recompenses Intel by offering massive incentives to re-shore. It is maddening. The worst part is, making chips is actually hard so there is a good and valid reason to actually do it, but I just hate rewarding bad behavior ( from US taxpayer's perspective ).

For example, when there is a security bug in Linux you can shutdown those servers and spin up FreeBSD ones while the patch is being made.
You'll need to implement views for handling recovery tokens, processes for people losing their second factor due to stolen phone or corrupted app, and FAQ pages for questions about why my second factor is not accepted.
The richest nerd at my school had a Psion 5, I was totally sold on the concept and still am. They'd disappeared by the time I was in a position to spend money on expensive toys though, sadly.

I agree with you that new tech can be good even if only a few people ever buy/use it, however I get the impression that Meta is investing billions in this VR stuff and are targeting "everyone"

Informational Asymmetry (IA) is not the same as STO, and it’s a fundamental of Information Security

That made reading the article worthwhile for me.

I mean, what else is a secret but informational asymmetry?
This looks like a replacement for something called slirp4netns which is "User-mode networking for unprivileged network namespaces." I wasn't familiar with this or libslirp. Can someone say what the practical use-case is for User-mode networking? Is this just to complements Podman's existing security posture or something else?
100% agree! Contrast with "Pokemon or Big Data" https://pixelastic.github.io/pokemonorbigdata/
Yes, your options are unsafety, garbage collection (in the broad sense, which includes Rc), and hiding lifetimes from the compiler via "handles" or similar.

Can you even imagine other options, though? If enough information about the lifetimes isn't known at compile time, how can the compiler prove it safe?
I think my interest in the advances in science that JWST is bringing is largely eclipsed by the joy that the folks who lived for years with a gnawing concern that it may never see first light are able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their effort.
What it isn't vulnerable to is SIM jacking, IMO that makes it far more valuable
This article might help shed some light on why people have been working on libcamera: https://lwn.net/Articles/904776/

tl;dr: many OEM vendors are moving toward creating "dumber" cameras, with the hardware just exporting a raw data stream and all the image processing logic is done in software. The existing v4l2 stack in Linux is limited and not ready for such a change; also it would be unpractical to put all this new logic, often proprietary and with restrictive patents, into the kernel.

Quoting Laurent Pinchart referenced in the article:

> "Given the direction the industry is taking, this situation will become increasingly common in the future. With the notable exception of Raspberry Pi who is leading the way in open-source camera support, no SoC vendor is willing today to open their imaging algorithms."
"The plant will produce 22-nanometer and 28-nanometer chips to address strong global demand for speciality chip technologies, they said"

I'm curious why not the latest - 3nm, 5nm
I posted a link recently about a huge chain company here in South Africa instituting a "No Whites" policy and it got flagged. I am not lying, 100% legal here too.

At some point we have to have some honest discussion on these topics. That is if we don't nuke ourselves into oblivion before that happens.
We already have people throwing articles and YouTube videos where the title says something like "holy shit X is happening!" and everyone runs with it as if it were evidence and then if you actually read the article or watched the video the evidence is basically "actually nothing happened" or hersay alleging that X/10000 almost happened.
Well, not really. It deals with a portion of what you need to build a camera, so which portion exactly is it ? And now if someone else creates another FLOSS camera library / toolkit they're going to call it libcam and we'll all get confused about who's who
Presumably you would trick the person into touching the key. Similar to getting someone to put their password in with a phishing attack.
In terms of compensation maybe (I'd say Indians in USA generally make more than EU devs), but you don't fear being fired and deported.

That said, Russian and Chinese developers had the same happening in companies in the UK.
Once you reach a certain size, I guess this is true everywhere. About 2 to 3% of employees in any org. will be slacking.
Its not socially acceptable to say in public that you don't know how to text, so SMS 2FA has zero help desk support costs.

It is socially acceptable to say you as a revenue generating customer don't know every little detail of TOTP, so the help desk for all practical purposes has to become a TOTP app help desk and provide support for every app ever written and every use case imaginable including device upgrades, etc. There is no upper limit to technical support. "Your helpdesk told me to install this app and now my battery is dead I demand compensation"

TOTP is pretty expensive to implement.

Leading to AGI? I have been using deep learning professionally for about seven years (and neural networks since the 1980s with a commercial product and I wrote the model for SAIC’s bomb detector they did for the FAA).

Personally, as awesomely useful as deep learning is, I don’t see the path to AGI. I think AGI will be a hybrid of DL, GOFAI, and things not yet invented.
> In contrast, I bike over 1000 miles a year and walk several times a week. Yet I am not in a walk-able mixed use neighborhood nor have any interest in living in one.

You do realize that, statistically, you are a MASSIVE outlier - right?

> If you make walk-able, mixed-use neighborhoods there is no guarantee people will use them.

Statistics disagree here. Look up walking commute rates in walkable neighborhoods vs random suburbs. Look at vehicle ownership rates. Look at gasoline sales per capita, etc, etc.

> I propose that cars were made because people are lazy (or, in reality, have no time in this dual income era we live in - walking takes a lot of time, even if it is very enjoyable).

What's been proven is that people have set limits for how long they are willing to commute. If cars could drive 2x as fast, people who are willing to commute by car would live farther away from work. Ditto for train riders, bikers, or walkers.

The goal is to shrink the distance people who DON'T want to own a car have to live from work by building more housing and making nearby neighborhoods more walkable and bikable.

Many people in cities would rather not drive if the option was realistic.

Many people in America LOVE their cars, and will go to their grave defending car culture. But many people who drive cars do so out of necessity and would rather not.
Integration of Qdrant ANN vector database back end with txtai

I am on the same page as you. I also have tried spacemacs, but it either installs or doesn't depending on what OS I'm on. I secretly wish someone would make a bundled installer for it for Windows so I dont have to figure out the terminal incantations to make it work on Windows. I've also managed to mess up the initial setup on Linux too.
This is exactly what happened when two of my friends joined Amazon to work as in store shoppers at whole foods. They did their training, got paid, did the (incredibly intense) job a few days, asked themselves “is this really all there is to life” and left. They showed the company the same courtesy the company would have showed them and just didn’t turn up for shifts.

If you treat your people as things, you shouldn’t be surprised when they either hate you or just don’t care.
> The title was "migrations."

Are any of the migrations in the article non-data migrations?
Author here, happy to answer any questions! :)
A lot of crypto nerds swarmed to this field because the tech is undeniably fun, and the whole space is rather interesting and is fun to play in. Kinda like it's more fun writing a multiplayer game than a singleplayer game?

I don't think most of these people are into cryptocurrencies specifically.
"People initially embraced new programs and new capabilities with joy, then came to depend on them, then found themselves subject to a system that controlled their lives."
There is no spare capacity to build highest-end process fabs, and there is huge demand for capacity in 22/28nm too.

Yeah I was a purple badge when I was doing an Externship with them via a consulting firm.
Most Java libraries want to keep compatibility with Java 8, or at most Java 11; there will be more uptake of these kinds of features once the baseline becomes Java 17, which will probably still take a long time.
Fine, I'll bite. I downvoted you because TLS 1.3 isn't a conspiracy to make your old stuff break, and such an allegation is undeserving of a reply. You should be able to run an HTTP/S proxy supporting TLS 1.3 on any machine, issuing your own cert to machines that insist on unsupported HTTPS connection types, and route most of your traffic through it without issue.

Raspberry Pis are out of stock because 1) companies that used them in production and got those production builds certified in some way get preference and 2) scalpers are taking the rest of the stock and doubling their money with it as it drops.

Older Xeons (and similar hardware) aren't worth running unless you have access to really cheap electricity; upgrading your system is cheaper than paying for the electricity you'd be wasting otherwise, even if you're staying a gen or two behind by buying datacenter surplus from eBay et al.

I understand your consternation, as some devices (e.g. cell phones) and some applications (e.g. SaaS apps) definitely appear to exhibit rent-seeking behavior. But that's no reason to declare literally everything a conspiracy, which just makes you appear to have some wires crossed.
Kind of offtopic. IPhone has a totp password key store in icloud. It is very unknown feature.
Stagit looks really nice and lightweight.

I like the idea of generating static webpages, it sounds great for read only content.

However, it doesn't sound very good for collaboration. Someone can come your repo but it doesn't seem easy for them to submit changes back upstream to your repo?
It's hard to predict all the ways in which change will affect someone. Serious negative consequences may not be apparent at first. Also, if change is instituted from the outside (by company management, government etc.), it's rightful to be suspicious if the people bringing in the change had your interest in mind.

In more concrete and software-related terms, bringing in new software to companies often means layoffs... The software is meant to replace at least some of the people.
I assume that in order to make this claim you have indeed tracked them down and could then share your results in order to corroborate this?
I guess my issue is this: why is the burden on me, the employee, when you cannot figure out at what rate you're losing employees after training, what it is costing you, and why you're losing them?

Just like the marketing 'department' of a startup SaaS calculates a Cost Per Customer, figure out what your on-boarding process is costing the company and adjust your salaries across the board to be competitive in that arena. If you're not being competitive - figure out why. Maybe you'll save more money in the long run by providing better leadership training that motivates employees to stay longer, effectively making your cost of on-boarding training worth it. Or, here's a shocker, maybe that training just sucks and you shouldn't put your employees through it anyways.

And if you cannot find a way to be competitive whilst doing so, just like employers have learned to be with health, life, pension, and leave benefits, then your company will sink. There are many professions that many seek employment solely because they don't have the capital to invest into themselves and their training. Why should one open themselves to the burden of both, if there's an alternative?
The concept is also the same.

> Neural networks, despite their name, don't share anything in common with human brains.

They share enough. Current ANNs are different than human neurons, however, the principle of learning they are operating on is very similar.

Machine Learning is learning. You can't look at ImageNet or just about any other model and say otherwise.

I'm informed on how current artificial neural networks work, how they are made, what they are and aren't capable of, etc. Thanks.
Congress was cancelled in anticipation of government rules. It says so in the announcement.
These people would rather be dead than under Russian rule. Why would 97% of them support continuing defense if not?

And don't forget that when Russians still thought they're going to win, they brought in mobile crematoriums and started filtrating people and sending them off to Siberia if not torturing and murdering them. It was never a question of "no war and survive" VS "die in war" - but "no war, die anyways" VS "war, possibly survive"
I seem to recall the guidelines here being against list-articles, but this is the NY Times so I guess it's a reputable source.

Anyhow, the items from his acting career are:

- Early headshot (picture) and type-written résumé

- A fedora (hat) from "Mean Streets"

- An actual taxi driver's license from preparing for "Taxi Driver"

- Dog tags from "Deer Hunter"

- "Raging Bull" annoted script

Cool items, and I guess a really nice move by him to donate personal stuff like that for future generations of film buffs to admire. :)
> VR is gonna be a tough sell to the masses

I think this is the major factor of why this will be a business failure for Meta. Failure in the sense that this product is not for the masses like a social media "product".

3D TV's were supposed to be the next big thing and never took off. People don't like wearing this type of thing on their head for long periods of time. Then there are huge numbers of people that will get motion sickness, feel disoriented, have vision issues and other physical reasons they won't want to or can't use VR.

Maybe its a generational thing? Okay, is the business plan then to wait 20 years? If this VR product and push doesn't get across the early adopter chasm [0] in the next 1-2 years its not going to happen for mainstream.

Which is a shame, assuming it's true.
I thought keybase was really innovative in their use of modern cryptography.
Not all governments survive for a whole term.
Checked the talk page and part of the history log has been blocked/deleted (due to including personal information). Didn't know this was possible to do. Wonder what other pages had this.
The biggest problem here is leadership. The technology is "there" and has been for a while. The problem is that that "there" is not where Zuckerberg wants it to be. Zuckerberg wants to carve his own very specific niche of VR and goes completely tunnel vision on everything else. So instead of exploring the weird and wonderful things VR can do, we end up with those generic legless Facebook avatars that nobody likes. His announcement of legs coming to the Metaverse even had to be faked with a mo-cap suit, not actual in-headset tracking, since that's hard. Meanwhile back in the PCVR space we had full body tracking for years and people running around with it VRChat all the time with their complete custom avatars.

Lots of those PR problems wouldn't even happen with better leadership. The requirement for Facebook accounts on Quest2 for example not only caused tons of problems, both practically and in terms of PR, it was also completely unnecessary, as Quest2 didn't have any Facebook specific features worth talking about. And now it's all getting rolled back to how it was before anyway.

So many of the problems that Meta is facing wouldn't even exist when they didn't create them in the first place.
In my experience, TOTP for 2FA is incredibly difficult to deploy at scale.

That's the reason for SMS success: It is indeed incredibly easy to implement and deploy at scale.
Given how far we've come in the past 150 years, no sense in waiting for an existential threat. Let's get crackin'!
> As long as few people drive, cars give drivers extreme advantages.

I don't know about that. I'm living in London right now, and I'd hate to have a car. It would mean need a parking space all the time for it, for something I wouldn't use most days because almost everything I need say-to-day is a 10 min walk away, and if it isn't then it's a quick bus or tube ride away.
The Pico is a completely different product.
Fair point.

I guess the only "migrations" that matter, are data ones.

I'm not a "big data" chap, but I have written distributed (franchised) systems, and have had to do many upgrades and transitions, affecting many folks.

It's taught me to be forward-thinking in my architecture.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess you would need some sort of XSS to get the user to touch the key. I've seen the web dialogues on Beef and they can be quite convincing, but still doubt this will work with any significant sample of victim/users.
Probably better if you are not a cryptographer. Because you have fewer inclination to write “your own cryptographic algo”.
Airbnb.com.au Show total listing price including any fees
Heck I still use i.reddit.com on mobile!
It doesnt work like that. $0.5 more BOM means price is at least $2-3 more. You arent competitive with bottom of the market any more and have to spend money on marketing, branding, awareness. You cant just print "super quiet" on the box because bottom feeders will follow with same slogans (like 500W PMPO stereo systems of the nineties).

This means Chinese factories, because lets face it its all made in China (even the big brands like TTI), cant just start making better models on their own, they simply wouldnt sell. There needs to be a big player with marketing or political muscle (force loudness level policies) to pull it off.

SawStop is a good example of how difficult it is to sell something substantially better that only costs marginally more.

Btw even universes main villain Musk was thinking of quiet leaf blowers https://www.extremetech.com/electronics/290329-elon-musk-lea... :)
Emacs is over 40. While GNU Emacs is 37 years old; but, Stallman wrote the first version of Emacs several years before that.
Any penalty less than the profit, isn't an effective penalty, and won't act as a deterrent.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (USA) has a history of giving million-dollar fines for crimes that produced billions in profit and/or took billions away from victims. And the lack of deterrence has been reflected in the actions of the US financial industry.
I saw some pictures a while ago on twitter of their new fab in Arizona under construction. It looked pretty similar. TSMC means business when they start building out. I don't want to imagine handling logistics on a construction site like this!
That's both uncharitable & incorrect

In my experience the benefit found through training is often so that the employer can check a box that reduces their liability. I have certainly worked for some pretty shoddy employers, but if the employer was interested in you getting something out of it, why not let you as an individual or a group decide what that training is?
I should indeed have mentioned that. On the other hand, this is not a concern if you do not execute the it outside your shell (e.g. in another script that reads TOTP secrets from elsewhere).
Glad to see this. Now split up the whole company.
There is also the down side of up.

At some point, maybe ten or twenty years from now, we're going to have a lot of bankrupt companies around the hydrocarbon economy. Everything from gas stations to oil rigs is going to have non-trivial costs to decommission. The sooner we understand this and plan for it with specialized funds[0] that can handle it the better. Right now we're in the established candle makers versus upstart electric bulb manufacturers part of the story. The difference for us is the sheer scale of this transition. We already have petrol stations in Canada that are run at a yearly loss because the estimated costs of disposing of the surrounding soil are high enough that it's cheaper in net value accounting terms to lose money year by year.

[0] I imagine something like an escrow style fund where payments into the fund are paid back with interest after a predefined period of time if there is no cleanup from the entity or its subsidiaries, including subsidiaries that have been sold off to new owners. That way it aligns incentives and rewards good actors that take preventative steps to ensure less costly decommission.
I've been looking for a reason to leave the comfort of JetBrains tools for VSCode, and this might be it.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion about the new UI, other than that it looks way too much like VSCode and way too little like the current one.

The main reason I use JetBrains stuff is that I'm familiar with the interface, it's messy but I know where to find all I need. VSCode is unusable without writing json config files and dropping into a terminal.

I always wonder why the keyboard jockeys are using IDEs at all instead of Vim. Why even use the Vim plugin instead of Vim? If optimal keyboard usage is your goal, Vim is all you need and want, it is the king.

Me? I like being able to open the IDE preferences and see the configurations for all the testing, virtual environment, or whatever crap I need to have set up to do my work. Typing text is easy, dealing with bullshit configs is the annoying part.

They've come into my messy table and threw all the papers into the ground. If I need to sort them all again I might as well not pay them for the privilege.
The way GitHub is acting here, it seems to be a case of "if no-one takes us to court and sticks through to the end, then we can do whatever the hell we want". aka "Most people complaining are just making noise".

CoPilot doesn't seem to be a terrible implementation, instead it seems to be relying on it operating in a grey area. So they're going for broke, to try and get wide enough adoption that it becomes a fait accompli.
O/T T: try reader mode in firefox or safari sometime. works pretty well.
