Not arguing for gitmo’s continued existence, but I would point out that the gulag system was a primary tool of oppression in the Soviet Union, and an estimated 18M soviet citizens were sent there.

Over the course of Guantanamo’s existence under 1000 men and boys have been extrajudicially detained and tortured there. Expanding this well known data by an order of magnitude (plus a little) gives a conservative estimate of 50000 individuals extrajudicially detained under post 9/11 foreign policy (just a guess at totals based on roughly how many of these prisons were built in the bush era).

I tested this one some ruby, and it told me to break my code with typos. -- Replace "enable_starttls_auto" with "enable_starttls_aauto".

I will be super interested when I can run this against a whole git repo codebase instead of a single file.
Around ten years ago there was this "Smartbird" which was much more than a toy:

but apart an initial hype I think it was never further developed.

Scroll down to the part of my below citation where each jurisdiction is identified with new combustion vehicle sales bans. This forces auto supply chains to reconfigure or die.

Some jurisdictions might walk their bans back, but you only require a critical mass of the total addressable market to stick to it for it to remain effective. “As California goes, so goes the nation.” and all the jazz.

Well if you change it to say what you're claiming it already says...
It’s exactly as absurd as the alternative legislation to “phase out” (what a bizarre turn of phrase) ICE vehicles. And I say this as an EV owner.

The concept of banning one tech or another in this way is backwards thinking and stems from ignorance of the power and beauty of market economics.

People (in the aggregate) will buy the products that work best for them at the price they can afford.

Now it’s true those products often have externalities, sometimes even directly harmful to the people that are buying them! (e.g. fast food)

Except in the gravest product safety sense, these products should be left to compete with each other in the great world marketplace.

The aim of government should be to subsidize the innovations that make products with the best externalities safer, cleaner, faster, better, cheaper, etc. to the point where they can stand alone and win in the open market.

In the case of EVs, what we need is not bans on ICE vehicles in some ever closer looming date. What we’ll need is massive infrastructure improvements to support the intrinsic demand for the truly better/cheaper/faster/safer product.

The initial round of subsidies have more than achieved the boost up the learning curve to make these products ultra competitive.

We are rapidly approaching the point where the only reason someone wouldn’t by an EV is because either it’s truly inappropriate for their use case (see: plows in NYC) or they simply don’t have a convenient way to charge it.
This is actually what made it so disturbing to me. I think people with high g factor are innately advantaged by no merit of their own. According to my personal philosophy, I’d say these people (assuming they experience inordinate success in life in a career which leverages features of high g factor) are obligated to some degree to use that ability to uplift other people who struggle due to low g factor.

After some consideration I was left with the sense that I’d squandered something because I was too busy mired in egoism, navel gazing, insecurity, and helplessness driven by the sense that I’m less fortunate. And yet I’ve had a lot of good fortune which clearly stemmed from mental characteristics I believed I didn’t have.

I suppose I always felt like such an imposter. As though I was only ever hours or days away from being found out, then being relegated to a life more suited to someone as incompetent as I was.

Now I try to be less self absorbed and think more about what I can do for other people — people who can’t thrive in a technology-driven world due to innate disabilities, for example. Statistically it’s known that this is a staggering portion of our population, and these people deserve to get as much out of life as anyone. Living in poverty because you can’t understand how to apply for a job online, perform many basic jobs, navigate state or provincial websites to obtain disability assistance, or manage personal finances and so on is such an egregious offence to humanity in my mind.

In summary, I should have spent less time feeling sorry for myself and more time helping people with real problems.

I suspect I will never manage to meaningfully help people more than I would have when I thought I was stupid. I believed in pro social behaviour before the test. For that reason I’m not sure it helped me to see the IQ score.
One must pick their battles in order to win a war.
I dunno. I think you are over generalizing TBH. For some it might be a public service. For others it might damage their mental health. It's highly contextual to where you are in life.
Thanks for the reading materials. I have read your post at least briefly. There's a lot to digest. The reconciliation docs covers a lot of my confusion. Here's what I mean by back channel.

function fn(arg) {
let foo = useFoo();
// do something with arg and foo
}

The way I understand the words, `fn` is a function of `arg`. `foo` was acquired by a "back channel".

I don't think its intentional (the overlords?) but it is an unjustifiable gap for any society that considers itself democratic.

Its not just the broad unwashed masses. Essentially outside a tiny number of central banking economists the rest of the world has still "flat Earth" level understanding of how monetary systems work, the role of private banks and, crucially, what alternatives there might be and pros/cons.

Efforts for financial literacy, to the extend they exist, are inadequate and incomplete, essentially manuals for smoothing financial product consumption, not background knowledge on how and why these systems are setup.

Its a fixable gap. Compared to the amount of complexity of material people are exposed to at different school levels, this stuff is really not that difficult.
Something with privilege could usually just remove the immutable flag and then go on and do whatever dumb stuff it wants to do... But they usually don't.

My corporate macbook was at its most stable when I had set /etc/hosts immutable and the corporate chef got stuck and nobody yelled at me. Of course, a couple months later I did a mac os update and some corporate spyware interfered with the gpu driver... would have been updated if chef had run in the past three weeks. Whoops.
We disagree. Being ready to make a change and being kind to yourself are not mutually exclusive ideas.
I'm not expert but was involved in adjacent field, so I do not have a singular explanation and one pager. Neuroscience/biology research is complex, but a good indicator is that there are hundreds of papers on trying to modulate responses to implants. They have not gotten very far on a resilient solution to it, and like I said, it's been decades since they've discovered this problem and the fact that neural link doesn't even bring it up leads me to believe they are just BS ing everyone in the same way elon ignored major questions about FSD for tesla, they are nowhere near solving the actual crux of the issue.
Of course any major RDBMS would have no problem with the data. If the reports here are accurate, you could fit the last 5-20 years of all NOTAM messages into the RAM of a Raspberry Pi running SQLite.

But if that's enough, why hasn't the FAA solved the problem already?

And even a "major RDBMS" is vulnerable to stodgy management leaving design in a state where it's vulnerable to a single central point of failure, where "2 contractors who introduced data errors" (!) can bring it down.

Modern highly-distributed consensus systems are not vulnerable to that. Neither accident nor malice from 2 government contractors could prevent all authorized updates worldwide in a distributed consensus system like Ethereum.

DC & northern Virginia (or wherever the FAA's systems hosted) could even spontaneously disappear into a lava pit and the official consensus set of NOTAMs would continue to update.
I think the muddling of roles is what bothers me about it. In a workplace, the responsibility is reversed. You're the opposite of a customer - you're an employee.

Here, customers (and honestly, what they are getting vs. what they are paying for is so bad in my opinion it borders on fraud, so even using the term customer here is being generous) are treated like employees.
The practical problem is that filesystems and databases are highly optimized toward different objectives at an architectural level. You can treat one like the other but the performance will be comparatively terrible.

This is made even more difficult by the practical necessity of backward compatibility with standards like POSIX, SQL, et al in the same implementation that were never intended to be interchangeable at the implementation level.

In principle you could design a database to be used as an effective filesystem. In practice, the implementation wouldn't be very compatible with any other software you need to work with and the ability to integrate matters.
> Everything else would seem to be a reimplementation of common best practices...

True, but those protections are enabled by default (on Pixels at least). Users don't have to do anything here.

You're not wrong, but GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are valid options, if you don't trust the ROM Pixel ships with. Even with a custom ROM you're left trusting the OEM. It'd be nice if we could have an open hardware / open firmware Android, but it hasn't happened, yet.
Chatgpt would have been a better therapist for me than the online therapist I had a few years ago. I really felt like I was talking to a bot that didn’t parse the things I was saying.
In the case of seL4, don't confuse formal verification with security. The code matches the spec, and security properties can be extracted very precisely, but spec might contain oversights/bugs which would allow an attacker to perform unexpected behaviors.

If you define security as a "lack of exploitable bugs", then security can never be proven, because it's impossible to prove a negative. Also many formally verified systems have had critical bugs discovered, like the KRACK attacks in WPA. The formal verification wasn't wrong, just incomplete, because modeling complex systems is inherently an intractable problem.

The fact that seL4 doesn't even offer bug bounties should be a huge red flag that this is still very much an academic exercise, and should not be used in places where security actually matters.

I don't believe mirrors and caches affect this behaviour.

How this works is that the package index contains a stanza Phased-Update-Percentage: giving a number between 0 and 100. Then your client picks a number in the same range, and accepts an update if the repository's value is higher than the client's value.

Whether the fixed value comes from your mirror or Ubuntu's, makes no odds - You still have a fixed value on the server and a variable value on the client, so the outcome is still variable. Caching the index, or mirroring it without regenerating it, still leaves this decision to the end client.

Something else I found interesting looking into this mechanism - the seed for the rng is sourcePackage-version-machineID. So you won't "that one machine that always updates last" or "that one machine that charges head-first into phased updates", it should be randomly distributed for each version of each package.
Misleading headline. "A group of state legislators propose a law" != "State ABC wants to XYZ"

This is a law proposed by a small group of state legislators. Of course, all laws start as bills like this. But most bills never become law.

A more responsible and less sensationalistic story would talk about the level of support for such a bill, its chances of becoming actual law, its constitutionality, and so on.

This is newsworthy, but not when reported like this.

> Thats not what this article is suggesting. It is possible the article is targeting the GOP considering their recent bill to gut the IRS and remove income tax.

That's a mischaracterization. That's a messaging bill that's been was first introduced and must have failed in 1999, and I presume many other times since.

So in other words, they're considering doing no such thing. It's DOA and everyone knows it. If it wasn't DOA, it wouldn't be on the table.
You don't get to add new information to support what you think the answer is. Based on the wording of the question, it's not possible to know. Especially since it was intended to be a trick question to prove humanity is safe, they don't get the benefit of the doubt on how the question fails to provide enough information to answer. I'd recommend you read it again.
For your 2nd drawback, I can recommend checking out git subtree. It allows 2 way split and merge of any subtree of a repo. You can easily open source part of your repo in a “fork” and keep it up to date with your mainline as well as incoming pull requests with very little effort.
Used cars are already ticking time bombs because of the engine, transmissions, etc…being able to measure battery wear definitively without hiring an mechanic to closely go over it actually makes an EV a much safer used car buy than an ICE.
Yep. Seems like the last two years have really given way to spammy or fraudulent security "researchers" who are just trying to get payouts. It's been plaguing a number of projects on GitHub for a while now.
Or just give tariff discounts to those places that treat their workers (and the environment) better.
The gpu required to run it (A100) is said to cost about $150k. If each query is said to cost about 3 cents, then that means the card could execute the model about 5 million times before it makes profit. Maybe a bit more if we include the electricity bill, and even more if Microsoft charges extra for the service since they want to make profit.

I don't think these numbers sounds very out of line. It would be easier to understand the feasibility of this if we knew how fast those cards could execute the model. If it takes a second to run it then a few cents seems about right, if it takes a few milliseconds then it is a lot less than a few cents unless Microsoft charges huge premium for the servers.
That’s a little more than 10 years. The charger networks, battery issues in the cold, availability of the raw materials, etc won’t scale that quickly. It’ll probably take closer to 20 years for the tipping point to be reached.
Scroll down to the part where something was actually enacted as opposed to being promised to be enacted long after the legislators leave office. These "plans", "pledges" are about as reliable as carbon net zero promises. It is purely performative. You may not have noticed, but carbon emissions keep going up. As does coal use [https://www.iea.org/news/the-world-s-coal-consumption-is-set...].

But lets have another pledge, it will all be phased out in 2040!

Also, the part about California leading the nation has stopped being true a long time ago. California is an object lesson in government dysfunction, wacky ideas, a crazy, utopian electorate that is disconnected from reality and a shrinking population as people flee to more sane jurisdictions where things actually work. It is by far the most hated state in the nation, and is generally used as a slur.

This sounds exactly like the equivalent of unvested matching.
Not at all my expertise, but:

The good class D amplifiers are closed-loop control systems. They don’t just create a output a fixed sequence of highs and lows for a given piece of music — they determine when to switch based on some combination of the input signal, the observed output voltage and current, and various state variables (for example, for protection). And they operate at frequencies of several megahertz, possibly with rather high precision pulse widths needed.

So one could do this with an ADC, a microcontroller, and a single output bit, but it would need to run the ADC at quite high frequency and possibly have multiple input channels (for current and voltage). This sounds expensive.

A TPA3255 costs $12.50 (qty 1 from Digikey). Add a dollar or two a nice DAC. I don’t think a 20-bit ADC, a DSP running at a couple hundred MHz, and most of the same driver and power circuitry that’s already in the TPA3255 would come out at the same price.
Before defining any strategy, you need to define an appropriate threat model. Which kind of information are you storing on your device and who can target you?

If you are a standard person and not doing any illegal, the information that you need to protect are mostly related to financial and personal standpoint. So you need to protect you bank/credit card/cryptowallet with encryption and/or MFA. For financial information, use the same criteria, according also to level of continentality that you want to achieve: it's stupid to encrypt your cat pictures, it may be worth to encrypt cipher your son pictures, it's mandatory to protect your health related files also with MFA.
This is just to have an idea, you should make this exercise frequently (let's say every 6 months) and verify if the security controls are in place and have to be updated.

For my own devices, I am using this approach:

* Infrastructure: I am using a password manager with MFA for all my accounts and where is possible I have enabled MFA. I have Cloudflare ZT on my home network, so I am a bit protected against web threat. Moreover, I have a script that everyday download phishing and malicious feeds and update my router's ACLs. I am not exposing anything on public, all the services inside my house are accessible through VPN. My Chinese camera are heavy firewalled in a different VLAN and reachable only from specific host. Every device is upgraded to last version and no default passwords.

* Main laptop: is running Linux, so I am feeling a bit more safer during the web surfing. Anyway, I have an encrypted backup for important data over cloud, just to be ensure disaster recovery.

* Secondary laptop: is running Windows, I am keeping it regularly updated with scheduled MS Defender scans. My wife is mainly using it, but she is not installing anything without my approval (I am the admin of the laptop).

* Phone: Storage encrypted, access protected by strong PIN and no biometric. Applications are installed only from official stores and using a DNS blacklist. My phone has a native feature to reduce and auditing app permissions on a schedule and I am doing it by myself as well sometimes. In case I have to connect to an unencrypted public network, I am using a Wireguard VPN client.

Just my 2 cents, I hope to did not forget anything and be helpful.
That is correct, then the article should also mention it.
> Leaving strings unquoted can easily lead to unintentional numbers.

It seems like this sums up all the issues pointed out by the article. Ie. you’re safe as long as you quote your strings.

Sidenote, this post reminds me that Musk exists. For a while there he was spamming controversial stuff non-stop and was in my "news" daily. Someone must have silenced him due to his stocks tanking? Or maybe people got bored of his news, not sure. It's been a nice break for me though.

I need some type of plugin-filter to just remove all Elon/Twitter mentions lol, but i'm also attracted to observing the chaos.
That’s a great form factor for building a speaker but a rather annoying form factor for driving an existing passive speaker.
California is the world’s fourth largest economy and has 12% of the US population (39 million compared to the 600k folks living in Wyoming). It’ll continue to be an economic powerhouse long after people complaining online about the state are gone. If complaining makes you feel better, do so, but it doesn’t change the facts. It’s certainly not going to hurt California [1].

Edit: I have never lived in California.
