I just found a great video from Dr. K. the other day on how entertainment addictions work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK-s2qBU40A. The second half of the stream is missing, but there's a good comment there summarizing the advice for doing a dopamine detox.
A bunch of sites popped up hosting it loaded with SEO garbage and ads. I’d licensed it MIT so while they certainly can, it sure doesn’t feel nice.

I don't think it would help against situations where your primary system is being encrypted for a while, and thus your backups eventually get overwritten with bad stuff.

This reminds me of an old joke in the Haskell community, where people who struggled to understand Monads would finally get it after a while, and would assume that whatever the last sentence they heard was the only necessary one for the explanation.
Maybe before charging high taxes to cover up large scale political mistakes they should start making good decisions and giving people back their money’s worth in public services. And by good decisions I mean: put ideological wishful thinking a side and do some math and make a plan.

UK just looks like a crazy show from outside. Weirdly enough it was put up for a vote and people went for it with the Brexit.

With the leftist government for another 3+ years in Germany, the chances for Germany to get back on track are nil. And if Germany sh*t its pants it’s not rosy for the EU either. UK gone, France not exactly outpacing everyone and the South on the brink of financial collapse.

I'm willing to bet most people would pick a Covid reinfection over Influenza. That's not even minimising covid (although with such robust population immunity, now is the time to stop making such a unique deal about covid and to stop freaking out about every single variant) - it's simply that the flu is not a mild disease. Influenza is a horrible virus.

Pretty sure Mastodon will never replace Twitter. It's just too different, can't attract users who want to know what's happening outside their social circle, and probably can't attract any brands either.

They (hopefully) won't steal your ip or personal pictures, but there is so much telemetry and other phoning home going on, and without transparency or the option to really turn it off.
Thanks. I'll do a little research to confirm it and add Ruby if this is the case.
Any way to actually monitor traffic at the PC or network level for an individual user? I see a lot of odd behavior by TVs, IOT devices, connected bulbs and such. None of them seem necessary to me. I feel windows could do a lot better with reporting or allowing users to clearly see what is communicating across the network currently.
Yeah that stuck with me as well.
People are surprisingly chill about BMCs as attack surface, eg Intel management features get a lot more scrutiny.
I am not a fan of having a script pull down
all manner of things in order to run.

The smart is of course to review the script
and see what its dependencies are.

This is not always straight forward, esp. when
it gets recursive.

In that NPM is the worst offender I have tried.

It can easily expand from 10 libraries to hundreds
of dependencies (and dependencies of the dependencies)

I mean in the case where nothing rejects.

Say for example the loop was doing `result.push({success: true, value: item})` instead of just `result.push(item)`. Then the value returned from loop() is different from the one returned by Promise.all(promises), and your overall monitor() function might return either.

That's an interesting essay and I agree it goes to the heart of the question. There's clearly an interesting question, even in the colour domain: is someone infringing copyright if the data they themselves are sharing has a perfectly legitimate colour that is the basis of their sharing? That's the plausible deniability bit that's so important: "Yes your honour, I did share that chunk of random data, but I did so because it's part of this totally legitimately coloured file I was wanting to share. I had no idea that someone added a new colour to the block. Obviously, I'm only sharing the original colour block; prove otherwise". At some point, the court has to decide the colour of the block from the perspective of the accused, which allows a basis for deniability.

I don't think there is low enough level here anymore. $0.3 micros maybe ? Why you're doing floats on them ? $2-3 micros already can have 64kB flash. You're just inventing imaginary cases to support "let's just do it worse and uglier" case.

Evaluation can be slow, which is why flakes-based tools usually cache the evaluation results. (There aren’t going to be duplicate downloads in any case.)

There’s no shebang support in nix3 (the new, flakes-native CLI with a single “nix” command). The closest you can get is probably “nix run”—can’t be distilled down to a single file, but can fetch and cache even online Git repos (use “nix registry pin” to freeze the commit hash).
Surprised not to see a mention of Talos II system based on IBM POWER9 technology that is open spec and otherwise a very competent build with fully open hardware FPGA mainboard and stuff like physical trip jumper protection, and potential for customised security measures via the BMC, Arctic Tern, et cetera. IBM is notoriously good at virtualisation, and POWER9 is very competent for machine learning workloads, the 2U and 4U systems they offer can go up something ridiculous like 176 threads in a two-socket configuration and there's plenty of lanes. You can reprogram the firmware, too; it's all out there in the open and you normally wouldn't need special hardware.

You can get one for not less than $5,500. https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TLSDS3/intro.html
How does one achieve such security?

Many would consider a ChromeOS device compromised from day one.
"Assume breach" was the phrase they taught us at Microsoft (at least in 2016). I assume everything is compromised. So I make public and distribute/decentralize as much as possible.

I #BuildInPublic as much as possible on GitHub and GitLab and dedicate everything to public domain (http://pledge.pub/).

I have a number of computers and can be up and running on a new Macbook in under an hour.

I run multiple mirrored web sites.

I distribute crypto keys across ledgers and safety deposit boxes in multiple states.

Most importantly: I don't pay for insurance (except for mandated auto and homeowners). Instead, everyday I go out there and try to deliver as much good to as many people as possible, knowing that the best insurance when bad luck strikes isn't some check from some corporation, but the helping hands from your fellow neighbors.
Ugh. Insufferable green virtue signalling.
Honestly, it's not so bad. It's easy to pick any such attempt apart. This is close to my favorite pithy way of explaining it, too, which is to break it down component-wise using the idea of filter banks. It's not a single sentence, but here's what I tend to say:

Any signal—like sounds or electrical signals, or even images—can be thought of as having a certain amount of 'energy' at any choice of frequency. This makes the most sense in music where we might thing of a 3-note chord as having 3 distinct packets of energy at 3 different frequencies.

For any given frequency, we can compute the amount of energy a signal contains at that frequency by comparing the signal with a test signal, a "pure tone" at that frequency. Pure tones are signals that have the unique property of putting all of the energy at exactly one frequency. The Fourier Transform is an equation which packages this idea up, showing us how to represent all of these measurements of energy at all frequencies.

The natural idea of a "pure tone" might be a sine wave. This is what we think of when we think of a musical pure tone and it certainly exists only at a single frequency. But sine waves make for bad comparison signals due to the problem of "phase": two sine waves played together can perfectly support one another and become twice as loud, or they can perfectly interrupt one another and become silence. This happens because sine waves oscillate between positive values and negative values and positive things can cancel out negative things.

When you look at the equation for the Fourier transform you'll see an exponent of a complex number. This is an improved version of a 'pure tone' which avoids the phasing issues of a sine wave. It does this by spinning like a clock hand in two dimensions, remaining always at the same length. This extra dimension lets us preserve enough information so that things never cancel out like with sine waves.
I have several layers of security, including an infosec mindset that comes naturally, but at the end of the day I don't really know. I have faith that if I were to be infected statistically it would be by some malware that would give itself away by mining crypto or doing something else very loud and disruptive.

Fun story but my laptop was actually hacked remotely once, without me knowing.

It was almost 20 years ago, some would call me a script kiddie. Just trying to be bad ass, trying to live the movie Hackers. Had a stolen laptop running FreeBSD, with a wicked bootsplash just like the kids in the movie.

So you can imagine I was moving with the wrong crowds online, having little defacing wars with other groups and shit like that. Caught the wrong kind of attention.

I say that infosec comes naturally to me now but pobody's nerfect and back then I had re-used a password in a weakly encrypted service database, someone hacked this service, found my password, found my ssh logins to the servers, and traced backwards to my laptop.

I don't remember the details but somehow working back from one server, perhaps to another jumpserver, they were able to get the IP for my laptop and actually login to it.

Fortunately for me they didn't do anything but gather data, they posted this on a wall of shame saying "another hacker down". I say fortunately for me because I had thousands of customer's data on that laptop, including CC#'s for the business I was running at the time. They missed all this, and the very next day I reinstalled my laptop and reset all passwords on pure coincidence. I had no idea I had been hacked, I just felt like reinstalling for some other reason.

Found their wall of shame posting later and felt very much ashamed.

This thread has inspired me to setup a tripwire for my workstation. It's something I used to use many years ago but I think it's a good setup to have some sort of alerting if files start changing.
There is difference between "content that is no longer actively promoted by a company" and "the company explicitly put your content on a no-show list".

I’m a layman, but I always think of the Fourier Transform as “an algorithm that converts amplitude over time into frequency intensities”. I guess that’s more of a What than a How, but it still seems good enough for a single sentence.
I think unlike in the case here, (soft) shadow banning would be appropriate to describe it, even though not 100% technical correct.
Basic atomic filesystem operations support consensus numbers[0] 1 or 2 (via rename and RENAME_EXCHANGE, respectively), but for some concurrent algorithms one needs higher ones. File locks are the only way to get those (if we ignore IPC), and those APIs are a pain.

I do and recommend three things:

1. have separate vlan (named vspy ;) for all the external devices like appletv etc

2. all traffic to internet dns ports (53, 853 etc) is completely blocked from this vlan

3. all trafic to ips list (using ipset matching for speed) containing manually curated few dozens of publicly known DoH servers (including 8.8.8.8 et. al) is completely blocked from this vlan

In other words: use my own dns server or go away.

all services works fine (apple,google, tv/movies streaming etc.) while being in this vlan, and I see "my" devices continuously hit the 2&3 bariers.
Same thing happened with StackExchange and Wikipedia, but they appear to have fixed it.

That would be silent ban (if you're not getting informend that you are, or reason for it), or just plain ban.

Shadow ban is explicity "pretend to user they are not banned, but don't show it to everyone else"

Like say getting shadow banned on reddit or HN, you will see your stuff when you're logged in, but anonymous or other people wont.

Search equivalent would be you getting your own site when you're searching but nobody else does

Just like "A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors" it'll only make sense and click once you already understand the concept, at least the haskell one was satirical.
Those simple phrases are I admit a fun experiment to see how much you can compact concepts, sometimes it is actually useful to come up with new words to represent common phenomenons in a given field to use with the people that already know of the concepts(hence why you pretty much need to "expand" almost every couple words of the phrase for the laymen to understand).

There is value in doing this expansion to teach the laymen, and the author does make the expansion somewhat in his post to be fair.

I'm really interested in the topic of basic electronics.

I've got a CS degree but from a university where CS came from the mathematical school, rather than the engineering school. Hence in four years, there was only one (optional) class where a computer was used, all other lectures where theorems and proofs with pen and paper.

But I would really love to be able to tinker with circuits, not necessarily with logic circuits, but being able to get some motors to do something useful or - more likely - fun has been something I've always wanted to learn. Mind you, it wasn't at the top of cool things I'm interested in, so I never really made too much of an effort. But that was also partly because I found it surprisingly difficult to find good resources to get started. Compared to say, programming, or other CS topics.

I'm sure this is partly because as a complete novice, it's already challenging to even assess what would constitute a good resource and what not. But I've just always failed to find a book or course that was at the right level of complexity (for me) and caught my interest sufficiently to actually stick to the topic. Either it's quickly over my head or it's something like 45 minutes of youtube videos just to get to Ohm's law, or so.

Eventually, I discovered some (older) books from the model train community that I bought for next to nothing from ebay. Those are quite okay, I like that they are quite practical in that they refer to actual electronic parts with the names/IDs that you can go out and buy. The downside, again, is that they're quite light on the theory - the kind of writing that tries very hard not to alienate the reader and thus doesn't dare to properly explain anything of more than trivial complexity.

Therefore, if anyone has any good recommendations for books, courses, videos, or other resources that you have found useful and that are tailored to beginners but dare to confront them with the full monty and not just some hand-wavy watered-down version of things AND (ideally) are hands-on so that when you're done, you'd be able to order some parts and be able to actually put something together, I'd very much appreciate some hints.

France is a net importer. I am not sure what exactly you mean by "France is one of the biggest exporters" though.

Here a graph that shows "total energy used in the country minus its production of energy", which shows that France that mostly produces nuclear energy consistently requires more energy than it produces.

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/france/Energy_imports/

Even though that wasn't really what I am talking about. The reality is that France frequently has to shut down many of their reactors, which causes them to for longer periods of time require energy from Germany.

The reason for that is that for example in July 2022, 29 of their 56 nuclear plants were offline due to outages. Given that as you the majority of what France produces is nuclear energy, this is a big problems. These offline plants still require energy for cooling. So if other countries didn't provide energy France would have had a blackout. A lot of that is evidently cold by climate change and heat (these problems mostly happen in summer), but at the same time France for example at the end of 2021 had issues and needed to import energy for heating.

This is not to be pro-gas or coal at all. I think they should be abandoned as quickly as possible for many reasons, CO2, pollution both at energy production as well as fuel production, limits on availability, etc. This is to say that just everyone switching to to nuclear energy isn't a magical fix.

There is a strong need for mixes, both in how energy is produced and saved. And when I say saving, I don't mean batteries, but storage plants, some for long time storage like pumped storage hydroelectricity, and various types with typically lower storage, but quicker response times for spikes to prevent outages. Cause then one can actually make use of less consistent energy sources. Short-term and long-term storage work. And the more of those you have to more stable your energy grid will be, regardless of whether you use nuclear power or other power. And you won't have to shut down plants so quickly, because you overproduce at certain times of the day, be it for solar energy or less demand at night, for nuclear energy.
It's close enough.

But then, how is it different from Laplace transform?

(I have to admit, I actually learned about both during my uni time. But now I totally forgot them all.)
