Having team members in different (mutually distrusting) jurisdictions is a good way to allow organisations/projects to avoid legal coercion, so you're thinking along the right lines. You seem to be suggesting, though, that the files themselves would be split between the locations, rather than just parts of the keys, and I don't think think there is any technical or legal benefit to the former over the latter.

The thought experiment you really need to think about is "What legal jeopardy could I face if I held an encrypted copy of an illegal file, but the only copy of the key was held by my friend in a non-extradition country?". Lawyers would probably say "It depends", but I'm guessing that a judge would interpret that situation as if you had 99% of an illegal file, and then they would round it up to 100%, especially if the prosecution could show that you had knowledge of (and/or intent to possess) what the (pre-encryption) contents of the file were.

A better thought experiment, though, would be "What would happen if large numbers of strangers were all using a protocol which allowed fixed size blocks of random-looking data to be hosted on each other's behalf?". Someone using this system might take a pre-existing random block (call it "P") and XOR it with an illegal file ("Q", padded to the right length), then upload the resulting block ("R"). They could then communicate out-of-band to someone that they only need to download P and R to recreate Q. However, if someone else found this property of (the seemingly random data in) P and R, the creator of R could claim that someone must have downloaded their R and generated P from it using Q (since XOR is reversible like that), which the accused could claim to have no knowledge of.

An idea similar to this, using XOR, was actually implemented and was called the Owner-Free File System[0]. I can't vouch for how effective it was at any of its goals, and I don't endorse it, but it's a useful way to think about things like plausible deniability. Also, to pre-empt the objection that just running such a "block sharing/hosting" application would itself be evidence of malicious intent, it's worth considering the liability of Tor nodes (especially exit nodes) and people running BitTorrent clients that make their computer contribute towards the operation of a distributed hash table.[1]

The "pv" command they recommend instead is, by contrast, not standard and is nowhere near universally available. Also, as just about any not-a-noob knows, the author's "cat" suggestion will not work on devices that expect whole blocks, except perhaps by accident ... and it's not a good habit to rely on accidents. Options like skip and seek also allow you to do things like write a single block at an arbitrary location, which can be very useful sometimes and is something cat/head/etc. can't do.

Reacting to anything one doesn't understand, without even trying to understand it, as strange or obscure or weird (all their words) is a very deeply incurious attitude. That kind of crap doesn't even belong here, per guidelines.

You can disagree with me, but there's nothing "in bad faith" about what I wrote.

> Padding a resume is sometimes necessary to bypass automated systems

You're justifying lying. Not a good start for a relationship with your employer. Would you hire someone you knew was lying on their application?

> recruiters will openly tell you to do this

If they do, you know you're dealing with dishonest recruiters. Is that who you want to do business with?

> who will make mistakes

Just go to another company where you do qualify.

> Padding the salary history is almost impossible

Back before the internet, other people endlessly bragged to me how they got a better offer by padding their salary. When I interviewed for jobs, I'd bring a paystub to show the interviewer that my salary history was honest. They appreciated that. They were aware that such padding was routine.

> If the company doesn't do this diligence

A lot don't do that, especially smaller outfits.

> What about cases where the employee ends up being better than expected and brings way more value to the company than the originally agreed upon offer?

Simple. Document the value you brought to the company, go to the manager and start negotiating. If he won't budge, quit, and interview at the next company, being sure to present your evidence of the value you bring. P.S. if you really did bring the value, the company will be happy to raise your pay in order to keep you.

> The amount of resources a company/corp has

The only power a corp has over you is if you give it to them by being afraid to negotiate and afraid to walk away. They're not going to hire thugs to beat you and shoot your dog.

BTW, just for fun, I've been watching "Power", a miniseries about drug kingpins. I have to laugh at how they negotiate. It's always "do this for me or I'll kill you". Way to inspire loyalty! Or at least the silly Hollywood fantasy way.

Elon tends to expand into businesses that can leverage tech his companies have already developed; for example I believe the tunnel company leverages metallurgy trade secrets mostly from SpaceX, but perhaps also from Tesla.

In this case, I think he must believe Tesla AI is ready to do a whole lot of moderation; perhaps in a hybrid model with some high-skill human moderators. That's an approach a previous company he was part of, PayPal took re spotting fraud - a task that's not that different than rooting out bots and nation state actors.

I don't doubt his sincerity with regard to safeguarding free speech; but he may also have been sizing up the AI application to moderation angle for some while.

> if an automaker [...] can prove

What is the standard of proof? And how is maintenance defined? If you haven't released an update in over a year, is that acceptable?
the cult of cat? the cult of pv? Really, we just need a progress meter that says "don't bother getting up up", "get lunch now", or "come back tomorrow", but I don't know that there is one.

For bulk copying of /dev/zero to /dev/null, `dd` is fastest (block sizes of 256kB up to 4MB are about the same speed), then `pv` (block sizes of 256kB up to 4MB are about the same speed), then `head`.

But it's true, unless you're dealing with an actual tape drive, there aren't a lot of things in the world anymore that depend on a specific block size; the idea that you'll get a faster transfer if you (say) exactly match the erase block size of your SD card doesn't seem to hold much water anymore.

And debian's bash-completion of `dd` has been broken for several releases, I despair of it ever working right again.

To add some details.

While runs are typically short, it is not always the case. What makes permadeath more acceptable is that thanks to procedural generation, your next run will be different from your last one, avoiding the repetition that can make starting over such a bad experience.

It is such a great combo that permadeath and procedural generation are most often seen together, the roguelike/roguelite formula.

Permadeath is very engaging, try playing a game in "hardcore" mode if it is available and you will see what I mean, it plays with your emotions like nothing else. Problem is, once you are dead, starting over is a tedious experience, same levels, same story, no more surprises, etc... That's where procedural generation comes in, giving you new levels and maintaining the level of excitement on every run. The sense of progression comes from going further and further as you get better.

In the same way, procedural generation is great but for a single run, it will never be as good as a handcrafted environment, it really shines when you do multiple runs, and a great way of making people do multiple runs is, you guessed it, permadeath.
Recruiters make more money when people are jumping around every 2 years. Favoring clients who make you the most money isn't uncommon.
Meh, it's a VPN and they're apparently enforcing good authentication at that level. I still favour treating the network as public and doing real TLS (because your services want to do that anyway), but single sign on is definitely what you want, and if it were Kerberos or something in place of Tailscale then the PAM side of things would be more or less the same (other than not having to reinvent the wheel, because PAM for Kerberos has already been implemented).

> special arcane magic

It doesn't really do anything particularly arcane (unless you count EBCDIC conversions) but it does things that are useful and often necessary that other equally-standard utilities can't. Isn't that good enough?

> Doing this kind of thing is a) rare

Probably not as rare as you think. Maybe it's not all that useful for writing applications, but for the quite large number of people who have to do provisioning (either bare-metal or virtual) and such it's a different matter. There's a lot to be said for tools that are ubiquitous, well standardized, and flexible.
Having any kind of dominant political culture at a company probably makes things pretty miserable on the whole so I empathize. I did look into what you said about politics (as opposed to culture) and you are right that a majority of tech companies are funneling money into Democratic PACs and candidates, though, I don't think many of these folks are progressives. What I do find really concerning is that most of these candidate donations are being sent to places where these companies clearly don't operate. That seems like a loophole worth closing.

The US makes 285 million tons of garbage a year.

A coal train carries 13500 tons of coal.

So that would be 21111 trains a year, or 50 trains a day - if we moved ALL the garbage.

The stretch between North Platte and O'Fallons, NE is the busiest main freight line in the US, seeing about 120-140 UP trains a day.

So we can do it. We could train all the US garbage somewhere. We have the power.

Nobody's FSD can depend on map data for road signs since those can change by the hour; eg road out, construction, etc. Vision for signs is probably fine when fused with map data. But more generally, there are all kinds of road situations that need a general solution and not a map one.
I think most of the authors of opne source code only care that their code is being stripped of credits, not that it's being used.

It's not a lot to ask.

If it IS somehow an impossible technical challenge that this commercial entity can't manage, but they still want to persue the potential of this technology, they are free to pay other commercial software developers for licences that grant this usage explicitly just like any other commercial use/redistribution license.

If that pool of software is too small to be as useful, and too expensive to be practical, so what? Tough shit.

I see no reason to excuse how they are currently just not even bothering to do either option, or address the issue in any other way, and are simply outlaw right now.
At least from my perspective as a web developer, I just never found it all that useful. When I finally got an invite to it a few months ago, I used it for a bit but it always just felt like more of a toy than a real tool. If you're someone that's learning to code then Copilot looks like this fantastical tool that can write all your code for you, and that's why I think it gets so much attention. But from my perspective, Copilot just completely breaks down inside of a large established codebase. It's great if you're just standing up an app for the first time but once you lay down standards, common services and components, etc, Copilot just starts getting in your way.

I was excited when it first came out but I'm just over it now.

Top performers should switch jobs or assignments early and often to gain experience and build a network, and probably should not stay in a job more than 2 years until they are considered senior.

Low/marginal performers need to stay in each job long enough (2 years?) to show they can hold it down and are not being let go frequently because of incompetence. Job security has value for these people who are the main beneficiaries of tenure since the more competent don't need tenure, at least until they near retirement.

Middle performers can afford to switch a few times but often need to stay 4 years until their options vest. Generally the rewards are higher if you switch frequently up to a point. It's hard to get pay raises that match switching jobs.
The Age of Inflation
Ahh government work. Can always tell because y’all don’t call them appliances. But I mean idk, I kinda do. The largest place I ops’d for had two 40 rack floors with some misc stuff here and there. Don’t remember at all how many of individual servers that meant once you accounted for KVMs, SANs, UPS, and networking but it was a lot.

I mean yeah we had a huge Hyper-V cluster for the Windows IT folks, bunch of random appliances bought over the years, but then for our software stack we ran a big-ole RHV cluster (look, we had a sweetheart deal from RH gave us everything) spent a lot of time getting k8s hooked up to everything (open stack we decided wasn’t worth the squeeze) and devs were v happy, no more tickets! All the backing infrastructure was vm based but we managed it and the devs got to care no percent.
Why not PowerShell, though? If you ever want to directly administer Windows through the command-line, PowerShell is increasingly your only bet, as older CMD executables are deprecated.

I'll suffix with my opinion that PowerShell is much nicer than many POSIX shells, especially given its hybrid object-oriented + functional pipeline paradigm.
