A tangentially related question. I have, embarrassingly, not kept up with fido. What does it provide? I am guessing it provides a spec for a iOS keychain equivalent where passwords are stored in a dongle (or software) and “let out” based on user approval. I remember reading it also provides a new password-less auth mechanism. Is it out yet? If so is it adopted?

Hard Truths about Generative AI

They were too early. A decade from now when NLP is bullet proof and AI has made significant advances we'll revisit this. Pragmatically it makes sense at this juncture to focus on the API behind the voice interface that lets you issue commands. That's the true power. That's effectively a global catalog of services that can do anything, driven through one API. We can revisit voice but this is where the starting line is IMO.
There are FOIA statutes that require federal, state and local governments to release documents and other data in the public interest in a reasonable amount of time. In this case, the statute gives the FBI 14 days. Limiting the release of documents to 500 per month to make the process take 66 years start to finish (IMO) is a violation of this statute. And there are tools the government has to automatically scrub documents of potentially sensitive information and these tools can run at a clip far higher than 500 documents a month. And so far, this district judge appears to agree.

If I could find any other publication covering this court case I would have provided the link.

Similarly, the FDA has asked a court for 55 years to respond to a FOIA request for COVID vaccine data. Assume you won't object to this source. [0]

For anyone interested in this topic, I can wholeheartedly recommend the book: "The WEIRDest People in the World" by Joseph Henrich.

The book provieds a beautifully constructed framework to understand culture and its effect on psychological development, as well as economic development.

1. In the book, the author argues that innovation rates of countries correlate positively with the psychological dimension of "individualism". (FIGURE 13.5)
2. The the dissolution of strong kinship ties correlates significantly with high economic growth. An argument the author repeats in his paper from 2022 [1]

My personal opinion is: gaining wealth is not a zero-sum-game, but a — the more participants the bigger the pie gets — kind of game.
I truly believe, if cultures and institutions change, everyone in the world can be wealthy. With "wealthy" I refer to the living-standard North-American or Europeans enjoy.

It's simply a bad position. You've characterized all of Wikileaks by the one leak that upset your party, the (at the time) ruling party of a hegemonic state.

Do you have anything other than the leaks about the Democrats as evidence of anything? Have you surveyed Wikileaks materials and seen evidence of the evil Russian hand in anything except your own personal grievance, which is that your party lost an election, partially because its process was shown to be corrupt?

Wikileaks hasn't even added any material since then, but somehow it's been relentlessly working for Putin.

I’ve come out the other side of the tunnel with the conclusion that everyone should write lock free code, because it is too hard to reason about the performance of mutexs, let alone the sequential semantics of code that is too sloppy to be made lock free.

Edit: Do you actually mean multiprocess programs? Those are the ones that communicate via lock free data structures stored in shared memory, with the invariant that processes can be kill -9’ed or segfault without leaving the shared memory in an inconsistent state.

That’s like switching your compiler into nightmare mode. It’s technically possible, but first you need to master piles of obscure data structure research.

This is extremely disrespectful of the economic savvy and work ethic of South Korean people.

Korean state had an extremely focused industrial policy to improve the added value created by the country's economic output.

The thing that needs critique here is that free trade would be somehow always beneficial. South Koreans state aggressively supported those industries it wanted to uplift.

Countries do rise up from third world countries to advanced industries. It just does not happen very often - sadly.

Another example of a country that rose from total poverty to industrialized advanced economy is my home country Finland which was in the 18th century dirt poor, started to industrialize, and only after second world war started to get some resemblance of wealth. However, the long history of poverty is still reflected to this day in lack of capital (are there other reasons for lack of capital I'm not sure).

It’s not inherently immoral to be in sales. If you actually do believe that solar panels are a good investment for a house and believe the company you’re working for does good work, working to inform other people of this would be from your view a moral positive. In practice of course it is easy to end up lying to increase your paycheck, or fooling yourself into believing your company is good because your paycheck relies on it. But if someone chooses a good company and doesn’t lie to potential clients, I think that’s fine.

> Tech startup founder

> Startup early employee

Plenty of these have caused harm. Many modern startups have the explicit goal of "disrupting" traditional labor rights or unions.

> Marketing

There's so much variability here, ranging from pretty benign activities to outright lying to people's faces about health outcomes of dangerous products.

My larger point is not that marketers or tech founders are inherently evil people, but that the system is rotten. For example, despite all the charities and philanthropy going to undeveloped countries, the net flow of resource is out of these countries and into more developed ones[1]. Nothing about ETG seems to contradict these tendencies, if you work in actuarial science and help a company minimize the taxes they pay in South Africa, but then donate 50% of your paycheque back to charitable causes in the country, your actions have not been a net benefit to the people of that country.

> "there is no readily-available 24V source from an ATX power supply,"

This is false. ATX provides both +12V and -12V:
* https://pinoutguide.com/Power/atxpower_pinout.shtml

Hooking them together would provide 24VDC. On a 350W PSU, I see -12V rated to supply 0.3A, which would allow for 24V fans drawing up to 7.2W of power, if desirable.

I don't see any reason to prefer 24V fans, however. The current losses over such short ranges are minimal, and I would think the larger economies of scale of 12V devices will keep 12V fans less expensive.

In the US, bows are usually not regulated. I can shoot a bow and arrow in my backyard, I don't have to be 150 yards from a building. I don't need a license, I don't even need to take a class. I can keep it in my car, carry it around with me, etc.

I can shoot rabbits in my back yard with a bow, but I can't use a .177 air rifle. I can shoot carp from a canoe.

Ha-Joon Chang explains the case of South Korea in details in his book "Kicking away the ladder": Korea developed because it was extremely protectionist, while receiving substantial financial support from the US (because of North Korea, China and USSR).

While Ghana has been under the rule of the IMF the whole time.

IMF policies are arguably extremely toxic; they basically guarantee that countries can't develop by keeping them open to a flood of subsidized products from more powerful countries, killing their ability to develop their agriculture and industry.

China developed similarly by stringently protecting its interior markets. The US did the same in the 19th century. Basically, all countries that successfully developed were staunchly protectionist, then became "free traders" once they become powerful enough to defend themselves on open markets.

Making Disabled Buttons More Inclusive
This would have been cool 10 years ago, but nowadays it feels more like rearranging the chairs on a sinking ship. Windows is becoming more and more locked down, with increasing difficulty to disable the bundled bloatware. And every new update runs the risk of completely undoing all these customizations. Not to mention the MS legal team could pull the rug at any second. All this effort would be better spent on a Linux gaming distro such as SteamOS.
The article refers to "rich" as "beyond the unsatisfied need for food, water, sanitation, health, shelter, education and information", then as GDP (PPP, presumably).

The proposed idea would have the article state that South Korea etc. progressed as they did because they had others work for them. Were this the case, it would have to be defended through some good evidence - which Dietrich Vollrath will be happy to receive, by the way, since the article is about "How come we could not identify a recipe".

What ties together their poster boys of South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore? They all had a baseline of education and decent government (for corporations, anyway), which they used to attract foreign investment (read: money flowing into the country) for industries that employed large amounts of people in roles where they could learn useful skills, kick-starting middle class wealth that could then propel the rest of the economy forward.

Most poor countries only have investment in extractive industries (oil, minerals, etc), which employ very few people, and the skills they learn are next to useless for anything else. The next rug up the ladder is places like Cambodia and Bangladesh, where investment goes into labour-intensive but low-tech industries like making clothes, but the government is too corrupt and the people too badly educated for much more. Although Bangladesh, in particular, has been a quiet success story lately, eclipsing India in GDP per capita.

> Support gun control if you want to reduce gun violence in this manner

The main problem with gun control is the inability of our society to honestly talk about who is doing the shooting and why. This eliminates any chance of enacting reasonable policies. The point of sale gun control favored by Democrats observably has little actual effect on gun violence, because, obviously, it only affects people who are already inclined to abide by laws, such as the ones against shooting people without good reason. On the other hand, the point of use gun control favored by Republicans demonstrably and significantly reduces murders with guns by discouraging people who are prone to shooting other people over trivialities from carrying their illegal firearms.
