> Chinese vaccines are absolute trash compared to Western vaccines, but Xi Jinping can't really backtrack on his decision to only use domestic vaccines because that would imply he, the half-god, has made an error in judgement.

The Chinese vaccine was the first vaccine out; and in particular the mRNA vaccine technology was new and unproven. There would be no shame in saying, "We can be proud that Sinovac was the first vaccine approved; it saved millions of lives and allowed us to go back to normal long before anyone else. But now, in the light of the new, more virulent strains of COVID (created in part by decision of the rest of the world not to implement coordinated lockdown strategies), and in the light of the extensive testing of the new mRNA vaccine technology, it makes sense to move on."

At least, there shouldn't be any shame in saying something like that; the shame is only in he heads of the CCP.

This is the political equivalent of a comb-over. People wearing a comb-over look in the mirror and convince themselves that it looks better than just being bald; whereas everyone else can already see that they're bald, and disrespect them more for refusing to accept the fact than they would just pure baldness.

Kalvium | Remote or onsite, India | Full Time or Contract | https://kalvium.kekahire.com/ | https://kalvium.com

We have multiple open roles in engineering - I'm hiring for data scientists and full stack engineers.

Kalvium is redoing the 4-yr computer science program to be 2X better than any current program in india, including top-tier institutes you can name? How're we doing this - we are rethinking from scratch everything about the course: pedagogy (blackboards makes sense for CS? How about open offices? How about lectures?), courseware (replace irrelevant courses with more CS skills).

If this ambition sounds good to you - you should know we've already started 3 classrooms and have students going through this! Join us.

PS: even if you've not found an open role fit for you, but you're interested in participating in this challenge and vision, please get in touch. We love talking to people who connect with our mission - we usually find ways of collaborating. You can reach out to me anil@kalvieducation.com

Which is why proper open source should be GPL, with a commercial license, so that the likes of him pay for the work of others that make his business possible to start with.
> Where are you going to get the training data, once copyright law is amended to protect artists from this new kind of intellectual property theft?

For me, countries that don't enforce that or old models from before the ban. Then again, I'm a nerd who wouldn't release my creations commercially—they'd be AI-generated shitposts or images done for the joy of exploring what my new tools can do.

First it was GoldiBlox, then it was Warhol, and now it's this one.

I really should consider going back to school and getting my JD for IP law. Here in Texas I can try for the Bar without attending, though of course that's a fool's errand most of the time.

Still, if there was one case I could be the plaintiff or write an amicus brief, this would be the one. It also comes at a perfect time for my CCC Art & Beauty talk around music and AI that I've been sketching out in my head.

I'm so glad this happened, and I am so waiting to see how this plays out compared to the hive-mind of "what we want to be true" versus "what the conditions are really like that we have to start fixing and not just talking about wanting to be different" like the clown that runs TechDirt. Nobody goes there anymore.
Iirc fuzzers would add randomness and measure occurences of newly entered codepaths and build out from previous randomness to reach more codepaths. However as you noted, in this case the cryptographic verification code would in practice always be hit before any sany progress could be done in fuzzing any deeper.

To catch this they would've needed to make a specific fuzzing setup where the process prepared random certificates that are THEN signed and passed further and make the fuzzer short-circuit anything where the random cerificate failed the signing to actually test verification.
In the trolley problem of deciding between screwing up life for everyone versus having some people die because they chose not to get a vaccine, that doesn’t seem like a close call to me.
But how would you judge a MANs character by the firmness of his handshake then?
We probably have different definitions for what constitutes an artist. In my experience most artists spend time looking at the world around them rather than looking at other artists' work.

I'm Michal, working remotely for more than 10 years. Primarily a full-stack (C#/React) developer, but I've been wearing many hats in my career - from a system architect, through consultant, to project manager.

Experienced in developing custom complete ERP/CRM solutions from ground-up and integrating with various third-party systems for e-commerce and recruitment industries - both solo and as a part of a team.
You assume that one knows that the place where you're going is beyond the reach of cellular service before one even goes there.
I generally agree, although paying for things still doesn't prevent companies from tracking us, selling our data or advertising to us. The additional income stream is hard to resist.

Another thing: if you won't pay for something, consider sending the creator a few words of praise. It might not pay the bills, but it feels damn good to be on the receiving end of kind words.

My business model allows me to give everything away for free without compromising on ethics. However, it's the positive feedback that really makes me want to continue on this path. The occasional "thank you" email never fails to make me smile.

I've since learned to praise everyone whose work I use or enjoy.
Do you mean the ad about the Visionary subscription? I'm also a paying customer but I'm OK with these one-time notification kind of ads about the product I'm using. Just don't shove it in my face every time I open it.

Most of the jazz keyboard players I gig with use good semi-weighted keys, and it works out for them.

You'd strengthen your point by putting your entering conditions ("for classical piano") up front.
Hash functions are only incredibly difficult to invert when the input domain is large, which is not the case with phone numbers. Even if you use a password hashing function that takes 1s to run (and if you need to frequently compare the hash, that's on the high side), you could practically invert the hash of an individual phone number. For this use case making it relatively expensive to obtain a single number in the clear would probably be good enough though.

The issue with Redhat in my experience is not having to pay money for it (when I worked with Redhat it was for the government who had bought some huge bulk license and had no issues with paying that, still cheaper than many other licenses), it is that the license servers, etc always have broken while CentOS just have worked. More moving parts which can break. The act of checking licenses makes the product worse than the free one. And I have had similar issues with OpenShift.

Edit: This reminded me of another story. I once had a long fight with Gitlab's support due to an issue with their billing. They failed to fix it so now we run on the community edition which just works.

My preferens for free is due to there often being bugs in the billing/license checking.

On immigration forms you have to say, in one question, whether you have ever used, possessed, distributed or sold illegal drugs. Basically asking people to lie, I guess.

I don’t know how it is phrased in army recruitment, but if they are willing to take the fat and stupid, they might also allow the honest.
You're not looking for a discussion, but rather a fight. I hope you find some peace. Understand that not everyone who responds with a counterpoint also downvoted you.

But I'll respond once in good faith - a browser, which is designed to load and run obfuscated remote scripts from quasi-trusted sources, and display complex untrusted HTML mail content, and which is subject to XSS vulnerabilities, will always be inherently less secure than, e.g., mutt. It exposes you to potentially malicious second parties (e.g. ProtonMail) and third parties. This is true regardless of any mitigations and security measures that are also built in to the browser. If you have enough distrust in your threat model to use ProtonMail, you also likely acknowledge the browser's weaknesses.
Multiple hashing rounds or bcrypt would likely be a fine solution for this

> Vaccines mean it's no longer the least worst option.

Millions of dead, and 100s of millions taken out of workforce for ~2 weeks during infection, possibly multiple times, possibly with long covid effects for years after, or we're coming up on winter where immunity weakest. It's far from clear vaccines isn't the worst option short term (0-3 years).

>flush the economy down the toilet

I mean sure? Except with confluence of global factors PRC economy, while underperforming is still outperforming most of western countries, as stated above. Hence status quo is currently sustainable, there is less pressure to deliver economically when everyone else is sinking. Obviously sustainable not long term, but I can easily see another year or two, especially with global slow down. The broader point being, all the western MSM reporting on PRC wrecking itself economically is avoiding the fact that it's not wrecking itself as much as most developing countries with RU sanctions, or dealing with US dollar, and US dealing with end of cheap money. Zero covid + three red lines on real estate + tech crack down, etc all deliberate policy choices are not as devasting as 10% inflation or end of cheap credit causing housing sales + tech valuations to crash like in PRC. It's not world ending, PRC is collapsing stuff.

>Do you want to stop the world until every disease is eradicated

No I think PRC wants to stop this specific disease that has demonstrably kills many people with linger side effects even in wealthy countries with access to better health care.

E: posting rate limited so @benj111

>So I don't even know what figures you are working with

Studies conservatively extrapolating TW/SKR post living with covid + mRNA numbers to PRC with modifier for lower per capital med care access. I don't know what figures you are working with to conclude ~3M would get covid when it will be 100s of millions since no vaccine prevent spread and majority of pop have no natural immunity. Estimates from scientists who actually crunched the numbers: a few million dead, significant % of which due to overhelming hospital infra.

1. Millions of dead (conservative estimate is ~2+) is still factually a lot of dead to deal with. If that can be avoided with accepted costs (which I'm arguing, currently is) then why not.

2. It's worse in that it comes with millions of dead bodies and at least 10s of millions long covid. Maybe zero covid is sunk cost and those figures are inevitable, but still no compelling reason for lifting short term.

3. Covid = flu? Are linger side effects of flu as well understood as covid? Annual influenza deaths is fraction of covid deaths. Extrapolating from US annual flu deaths, in PRC, influenza would kill ~100,000 per year vs again millions of covid deaths in same period. Like if PRC can get away with only 500k hospitalizations, Xi could personally go smother each covid ICU patient and still spin it as a win.
The engineer stumbled onto the least sympathetic, least transformative, most obnoxious use case for the AI. He was trading on the artist's name, confusing people and even arguably devaluing her work by reproducing it in a clumsy and low-value way. Folks in the industry would do better to acknowledge, as he did, that this was wrong and establish standards so everyone knows this is not considered a proper practice.
Twitter's Regime Change
Is it leeching if they're paying the founder of CentOS and creator of Rocky Linux to help them build out the system to suit their needs and then contributing that code back upstream?

I mean, I guess he could have been working for them for free for thirteen months, but that seems rather unlikely.

> No first-world company will break the law to save money on artists

If the future of copyright law in the west moves to outlaw use in training data then the west will lose out to companies from China, Vietnam and anywhere else that doesn't care at all about western copyright. I think it will give them a competitive edge.
At the time of its release, around 2002, space was the killer feature. People were either using outlook express with their ISP email and losing all emails frequently when upgrading or changing ISPs, or hotmail which only had 4MB of storage in the free plan. It was normal to scroll through your emails, make sure you didn’t miss anything, and then delete all emails. I think outgoing emails were automatically deleted after 30 days too.
Nope. That may be true for a thin slice of Twitter's most active and popular users, but not at all for the long tail of people posting in niche interest areas that keep people engaged. The scientists, engineers, artists, philosophers, OSINT researchers, etc who post interesting content and keep people returning to Twitter to engage with it.

Some of those get some reward from it in terms of added publicity, others in terms of building out their network, but a bunch even do it anonymously and seem to get no real world financial benefit from it other than sharing what they're working on and having discussions with other people interested in the same things.

Musk seems to fundamentally misunderstand not only how and why regular people use Twitter, but also how popular but non-celebrity people use it. He only sees it through his own lens, which is as a marketing tool, a way to move markets, and a place to shitpost freely. His changes make sense in that context only.

No. Only if you redistribute your copy are you violating copyright law.

TL;DR: Given four founders total, 25% equity seems like a reasonable starting point for your negotiations, but I don’t recommend sacrificing salary for it.

After working for startups as a founder, employee, or consultant for 12+ years, I've learned to treat equity as a bonus and not as a substitute for salary—because no matter how much you trust the founders, any subsequent investors will, by definition, dilute existing shareholders.

Those 12 years included a half dozen startups, only half of which I had equity in. In every case that equity ended up amounting to nothing, either because the business ultimately failed or an acquisition diluted my shares to zero. (In the latter case, I got generous retention bonuses, but that was a function of salary, not equity.) I was fine with the equity outcome only because I demanded, and got, market rates every time.

Not only do the vast majority of startups fail; the chances of a successful exit are slimmer still. A lottery ticket is no substitute for salary. First-time founders tend to overvalue equity; use that to your advantage.
Interesting. However, the link they provide as reference where apparently "The developers thought that its name is suitably reminiscent of the French term système D" does not have this term anywhere. My guess is this was just made up by a 3rd party (h-online in this case) and everyone just went with it?

I have that c't magazine they're referring to somewhere, I'll look it up there
It is never morally defensible if you do not have conclusive evidence. Of course what would be considered conclusive is subjective, but that is a matter of education as there can be objective standards. These will never be approached by vigilantism though.
I really enjoyed this article.

I am interested in the parallelism and multithreading, asynchrony and things progressing independently (concurrency)

I wrote a multithreaded Java Actor implementation. It can send messages between threads at 19-100 million messages a second depending on the variation. There are variations that generate messages in parallel and in different threads, in advance or as the program goes. If messages are created in advance it can add 1 billion integers a second. This is due to the fact that each thread can add up a different range of the integers. For comparison a single thread on my computer can add 1-1000000000 in 2 seconds. This means it doubles the performance of adding.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...

I also wrote a multithreaded interpreter that uses this actor implementation to support a "receive" and "send" instruction. It can also send jump instructions to other threads with a "sendcode" and "receivecode" instruction for those threads to change their execution.

The company doesn’t care about you. I don’t understand this loyalty to companies and billionaires.
Could it not also be that people who happen to have less grey matter in those "self-control" areas, will (statistically) tend to be prone to drink more alcohol? That is, the causality could run the other way. It takes some self-control and restraint to moderate one's consumption, after all.

Indeed. This discussion has been far too American-centric and not considered the impact this would have on Twitter users elsewhere in the world. Especially journalists in developing countries and war zones, who have been able to use Twitter to amplify stories that would otherwise have been missed or ignored.
The "normal people don't want federation" sentiment is really just a misstatement of "normal people don't want bad and/or complicated UIs".

Easy to conflate, because (yes, email aside) there are essentially no good examples of good normal-people UIs for federated things. Partly because they tend to be volunteer, open-source efforts with the concomitant lack of budget/resources, I guess, but partly also because you need a better UI to deal with the added complexities that are introduced by federation in the first place. There are more choices to make.

In theory, of course it is possible to make a good UI for federated chat, or micro-shitposting, or whatever.

But in practice, Matrix has forty-five GUI clients and zero good ones. Mastodon likewise.

It is. Rocky Linux is not in the same space like RHEL. They cant dictate the market prices.

I very much doubt Rocky is a sustainable business model. Hell even RHEL was not...
This is the aftermath of the enterprise/FOSS (pay for support/whatever model that never really worked) war on prices and we are basically going back to the era for paying for software and some people and businesses dont like it.

Can confirm, also very dissapointed with Auth0. We have been happily using Auth0 for years within their self-service license tier. Unfortunately we are now in the process of migrating away from Auth0 on short notice.

We never hit 10k MAU, but according to their sales people you can't have multiple tenants without an enterprise license, even though that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs. We have been using them in good faith, however they will not shy away from aggressive sales tactics and threatening to 'de-provision' you if you do not commit to a very expensive license.
As opposed to the other three, you can find a place to stay matching most if not all your requirements in literally a few hours in Tokyo -- which is not a "city" ( it's a prefecture, with a governor, and dozens of cities ), and that's a whole different conversation, but needed to understand the difference.

Housing in the West is a demented horror story at any rate.
Sanctions on parts for particular purposes are trivial to bypass, you just buy the parts abroad or for a different purpose. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to go as indigenous as possible to reduce dependency on foreign components. They've definitely made impressive advances in the last decade or so.
