You're absolutely right that this is basically the same technology some vendors tried to leverage to prevent us from running whatever we want on our own computers.

Luckily that mostly didn't happen (at least outside of the mobile ecosystem...), and the same technology is now very widely deployed to give users _more_ control over what runs on their computer.

The advice at the end is spot on.

It also turned out that the best way to appear generous was actually to be generous since false displays of generosity were usually discovered and resulted in ostracism

I'll help anyone out at work. I'll teach anyone anything I know. I will never throw someone else under the bus. I'll take credit with "we" and blame with "I".

I've been rewarded for this behavior at the places I've worked at.
I tried the query in other search engines:

- Bing shows a similar carousel as Google at the top but here Arnold is the first image.

- DuckDuckGo doesn't show a direct answer. First results are IMDb and Wikipedia.

- Kagi is similar to DuckDuckGo, no direkt answer, IMDb and Wikipedia first. Where it gets interesting is the third result. It is a link to a Google query for the phrase: "Why doesn't Arnold Schwarzenegger show up in this query on Google?"
Doonesbury is my pick.

While true, it’s also true that “neger” is the German word for “negro” and the last time I was in Bavaria also a certain type of dark chocolate covered donut. I’m not sure if the word is considered outmoded or politically incorrect as it is in English.

Aside from Cisco, Juniper has not exactly been forthcoming about backdoors:

If my job were to ensure backdoor access to everything I could, at least to get started I'd sort a list of hardware vendors by marketshare.
They did. Microsoft has the dominant consumer OS, the doninant browser, the instant dominant messaging platform, the dominant online email platform, some of the best tools for building web pages, and defeated palm to become the dominant mobile internet platform. Steve Balmer threw everything away.
The method used, i.e. to calculate the cosine of the two authors' word vectors, is poorly suited for stylometric analysis because it is based on a poster's lexicon and the word frequencies of each word, but ignoring stylistically relevant factors like word order.

Also, the cosine of the vectors of word frequencies conflates author-specific vocabulary and topics; in other words, my account is grouped (with >51% similarity, according to the demo) with someone probably because we wrote about similar things. A strong stylometric matcher ought to be robust against topic shifts (our personal writing style is what stays constant when we move from writing about one topic to writing about another topic, just like our personality is what stays constant about our behavior over time - of course styles do change, but the premise then has to be that such changes happen very slowly).

Stylometrics/authorship identification is interesting and has led to some surprising findings, e.g. in forensic linguistics (Malcolm Coulthard wrote several good books about the topic).

This paper lists some other features that could be used and compares a bunch of techniques: https://research.ijcaonline.org/volume86/number12/pxc3893384...

On one hand, thank you for showing us all how easy it is to make something like this. No doubt organizations with more resources already have more sophisticated systems in the same vein.

On the other hand, can we agree that this product is unethical?

In many cases, when a person uses an alt, it is a direct and strong signal that they do not wish their other posts to be associated.

So this product is circumventing the explicit will of the person, and making it available to anyone with zero effort i.e. there is no barrier to getting this info.

I met someone about 10 years ago who said they built this at a university. And their argument also was "actually this enhances privacy because it lets you know something something something". And yet their research grants were coming from one source only.

It can be used for good, but most often it won't.
Yes and yes.

Regardless of what you say, it’s actions that matter. You can tell me you’re against something all you want — but if your actions tell me you aren’t, guess which I care about?

It’s easy to talk ourselves into doing something “under protest” that we’re “against” for a big paycheck. But you know what, at some point, we’re not really “against” it afterall.
As for the "unfettered access" stuff; a telco, or at least the one I worked at, doesn't really work like that. We buy products and engineering services from our suppliers but we run our own network, and if we did outsource operations, those engineers would sit on premise and the whole thing would be under our control.
I'm not saying it's easy.

I have myself lost a lot in this process, and it took about two years to learn a new skill set.

But now it's over, I realize I'm maybe better off than if I had a job in my field back then.
I was proposing you ban endorsements of financial products so that it would not be possible to sue someone for later wrongdoings by that company. Once you have explicit rules for what is legal and what is not (there are already these rules) then it eliminates any confusion of whats illegal if you are a public figure.

I think it is largely both, and I recognize that we can and should reform some of the government granted rights I just dont think the Right of Exclusion should be one of those reforms.

I myself work at a university (had the pleasure to be in the working group that drafted our first code of conduct) and I can very much relate to this: that is both sides.

IMHO CS professors, however, tend to become drama queens when it comes to any progressive political thinking. And they might have reason for this reflex.

An important aspect of this is that keeping things as they are in the scientific community is also very political. And what claims to be apolitical in the letter and purely research guided is often radical conservatism. I think one has to understand that the academic system at its current state still relies a very biased narrative of excellence that has promoted a certain type of academic. The reaction demonstrates IMHO that there might a bit of good reasoning behind the mission statement (which I still don't really like because it seems to not reflect other important values in science)
Exploring the relationship between cooperative institutions and robotisation
Yeah, I was around back then. It was faster if the code was heavily optimized for AltiVec like Photoshop Gaussian Blur, image interpolation, audio filters, etc. But most general purpose code was not.

The G4s were overclocked for most of their life and stuck behind a 133mhz bus that choked the whole system. The MDDs you cite even gained the unaffectionate “Wind Tunnel” nick name. I hope whoever worked in Pro Tools with such machines had it running in a different room.

I remember a video studio still running a 68k Quadra that had some crazy expensive Avid board in 2001 or something, so I'm not surprised by high end equipment lasting a long time. Though I imagine you could emulate it on a laptop these days. Depending on 20yo hardware that ran really hot for most of its life it's not a recipe for peace of mind.

I was a huge enthusiast of 68k and the PPC and was devastated when Apple switched to Intel. Mediocrity won, I thought. Even though both architectures were much more interesting than x86, the reality of chip manufacturing is that scale is almost everything. Intel had it then, mobile phone chips have it now.
Well the only solution is too have too many alts so that nobody can believe you can possibly have that many

Common ETFs usually trade at 20x+ their actual output. When people ask me for investment advice, I tell them that I am good at predicting this fiction and no I won't subject anyone else to it because the whole thing is 50% a complete insider trading scam.

Archaeological evidence changes what we think how ancient humans prepared food
That post was actually what motivated me to make this. I'm on your email list :)
I was laid off as part of a layoff large enough to trigger the WARN act, so I was put on garden leave for 60 days.. I was fortunate to find a new job and start it exactly as the garden leave expired.

It was my first job search in the post-COVID era, aka the era of remote work, and wow was it different. Traditionally, I'd see a handful of jobs that looked interesting each week, and would be one of a handful of applicants. Now that geography isn't really a barrier, there were far more options, but far more applicants. I'd see 20+ roles per week that were a good fit, but each would have 40-200+ applicants, even for the senior (Director/VP) level roles I was looking for.

I've got over 20 years experience from startup to massive tech companies, and applied to 58 jobs. 12 of those led to an initial discussiopn with a recruiter, and 3 of those led to a full interview loop and 1 job offer.

Since accepting the job offer, I've heard from 4 more of the companies I applied to and they were interested in going forward with the process. For each, it was at least 5 weeks since my initial application.

This is concerning, but it is also hard to fully trust ICAN.

Your reply is disingenuous because it implies that you truly think that there aren't a large number of social engagements that involve purchases.

Haha, you got me and my main account. That's spooky.
I use a simple custom DB [0]. my DB is my library: Lists of artists and albums, enriched (and updated) with data from APIs (last.fm, RYM, spotify) for filtering, organizing....

I have learned not to invest anymore time in organizing files (structure...) and files metadata (correction....). I just leave it as it is. it is not "pretty". But my UI is my DB so who cares. I just do a simple folder search [1] or take out that vinyl, when I need to.

I store all my digital playlists in the same text files: M3U, Spotify URIs, YouTube URLs, it does not matter. I guess you could call it an agnostic system.

It works for desktop. Mobile is trickier.

Evaluate videos with the Advanced Video Quality Tool [video]
Edit: this is applicable not to a "small business" in general, but a "small non-IT business". For a small IT business, well, this is only partially applicable - only to non-IT roles. If they are developing desktop software, then they need to be able to test its installation and upgrade via the installers, which is then incompatible with the "remove admin privileges from laptops" recommendation.
I have started using dapr by Microsoft which has a very active small community and increasing adoption. Becoming proficient in using a tool like this and also becoming a contributor is an example of being in demand for the companies that might be using it if it doesn't mean working specifically for MSFT or one of the other corporate sponsors.

Another strategy for getting intro to users of OSS software is to join discord and start offering help and then possibly leveraging that to mention the help could be more permanent.

Do be careful though not to be explicitly soliciting since that is usually against the community policies so a little bit of a needle to thread.
<< On the other hand, can we agree that this product is unethical?

It does create a high level of discomfort, because it illustrates well what privacy advocates try talking about to the population at large, but all that said.. how is it any different from regular scraping and analyzing it any other way?

This is a real question.
Is it just me, or does the full "report and order" spend way, way too much time responding to the comments of various telecom companies and trade groups? The tone seems far too deferential, as if they're apologizing to the industry they're trying to regulate.
I only tried the trial of Vellum but, from what I remember, it was easy to use and beautiful to boot. Definitely a lot less complicated than Scrivener (which, if your goal is to write a book, is probably the way to go). It seems like a joy to work in for the long haul.

The thing for me is price. Vellum is $200-250, Scrivener is $60 (I got it for ~$40 with NaNoWriMo discounts a few years ago, if I recall correctly). Plus you can write screenplays in it, which was another bonus. I have spent more time than I should customizing it, but that ended up being part of the joy. I've more than a million words in it so it's unlikely I'll switch, but it's a joy to use.
The thing that most stood out to me about Charles Schultz is the thing least stood out - consistency. Peanuts was where and what was expected for 50 years.

I can't say he's an example to me because that regularity of quality is too far beyond what I'm capable of. At best I could maybe model Piers Anthony where I work constantly and some of it is crap and some not.

All that said, happy posthumous 100 to my first ever fandom.
People didn't read into it fairly, they deliberately misread what I was saying. I was not saying that people won't go back to meeting in person. I am saying that the online meetings will become more realistic.

> Why would you let your competitor who are barely trying to deliver EVs freeload on it?

This is such strange thinking. It's not like Tesla will give away free charging. The reality is more EVs using your chargers means more revenue. High utilization is better than low utilization. But you won't listen to me about it, so listen to Tesla instead:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22596337/tesla-supercharg...

This is what Tesla is already doing in Europe. It's easy in Europe because Europe has a common charging standard in CCS Type 2 Combo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y33AArvMUQ

A big benefit of CCS for Tesla owners is that they can easily switch to other charging networks when Tesla's network is uncompetitive:

https://www.electrive.com/2022/11/23/tesla-reduces-superchar...

The sad thing for North America is that it looks like Tesla will take the extremely cynical approach of allowing low volume manufacturers (like Aptera) to use Tesla's chargers if they adopt Tesla's plug. Hence the recent announcement of Tesla's plug supposedly being "open" and a "standard" now (as opposed to Tesla's previous faux openness):

https://www.tesla.com/blog/opening-north-american-charging-s...

Tesla believes that having the chargers support more than one manufacturer in this way will qualify Tesla chargers for US government subsidies. Tesla wants public funds, but doesn't want to provide public infrastructure by using CCS Type 1 Combo.

Maybe they'll allow other EVs to charge using a dongle, maybe they won't. But having to carry around a dongle merely to charge your car is just dumb. One more thing to buy, one more thing to lose, one more thing to break. Europe shows it doesn't need to be that way.

Closed, incompatible charging infrastructure makes EVs worse than ICE vehicles. You can fuel your ICE vehicle at any fueling station and you should be able to charge your EV at any charging station. Anything less is backward, primitive, and underdeveloped.
Budapest is a very weird place unless you live in an expat bubble in the 5th district downtown or in a villa in the 2nd. The city is basically a parody of itself, for example they didn't have money to keep up the mental hospital so they just released everyone on the street. Even a good few years after the fact, the city is still full of visibly mentally ill people, who act completely random. You never know when you'll get spat on or some abuse shouted at you just for existing. One time a guy walked up to me and put arms up like a boxer and tried to fight me. It's very unsafe too. We interviewed a dev in a downtown café in broad daylight in a crowded place and he was robbed at knifepoint just outside the café.

You're preaching to the choir a bit, but I'm just showing some empathy. I've been in places that started to move into directions that I didn't agree with, and caused me to start the process of moving. It takes time, and while you're lining things up, you have to do work to get paid.

You can judge someone that accepted a job at bigAdTech, but there are other jobs that start out as an acceptable place but as things continue on with potentially new leadership or some other change causes things to become untenable. Not everything is simple, but you can armchair quarterback and make judgement one the limit information you have.

Why pronouncing names correctly matters
I think Scrivener also has different goals: Vellum looks like it's intended for publishing, but Scrivener I think of more as an organizational tool. That said, I've been using Dabble if only because it's all cloud-based and I don't have to worry about syncing files around myself.
Objective-See: OverSight
5 kWh LFP battery with BMS and user serviçable rack format from a reputable brand in the USA is $1,649.99 so $330/kWh, see here for example:

https://www.currentconnected.com/product/sk48v100/

You can easily find other brands for less than $300/kWh, and plenty of review/teardowns on youtube.

Edit: adding "Typical capacity at 80% DOD @.5C Rate is over 7000 Cycles" so if you bring your battery to 7000 80% cycles at 0.5C you got 28000 kWh out of it, so 0.059 USD/kWh out of the battery (and you still have 4 kWh usable in the battery so many more cycles).
