They're rare because nobody is doing them. If some group decides that it's a thing to do, it will increase rapidly in frequency.

I don't know what the limitations are, and maybe natural disasters will continue to dominate. But I wouldn't extrapolate just because it hadn't been the mechanism of choice so far.

Apple's spend in this area is totally unknown, other than everybody expects them to. To contrast, Meta has been spending so much in this area that they've bet the company on it. It's anybody's game right now, but Meta already has launched products and iterated on them.
Inaccurate assessment.

Your flagged and dead comment says others don't agree with your logic.
I think the trick is, if they ask about the gap in employment, to simply tell them that you had to take time off to care for a family member. Anything past that is not their business. Depending on your state/country, it's illegal to ask for more details.

I hope that you don't feel bad or anything -- you're not the only person to have health/family/whatever issues.

I quit Matlab years ago but find Octave to be useful whenever I have to run old code.

However at this point I've definitively switched to Python/numpy/scipy/jupyter/etc.. Basically no reason to go back to Octave or Matlab.

I still use Mathematica on occasion though. I haven't found an alternative that is as convenient.
Do you think it would be ideal as an OS to program remote, automated tasks (e.g. swipe the area nearby my house every hour, following this path)?
I would've put the binary into Ghidra, found the asm by EIP/RIP when the author found the segfault breakpoint in gdb or whatever, then looked for XREFs. That probably would've helped find where the memory/variable/code was. I'm not 100% sure that could've been traced back release -> debug build?

I take it the author didn't know this method, or... I might be missing something as to why that wasn't done?

Kudos on being so responsive to that feedback!
I'm a christian (protestant, for what it matters) but I am also very down-to-earth. I know why I believe in God : that's how my parents educated me, and when I was old enough to think by myself, I chose to keep believing.
But I believe mostly in science, and I know there is not a single proof from science on the existence (or not) of God. Yet, I also choose to believe in a religion because it reassures me to say "Please help me, please be with me" when I'm in a dangerous or stressing situation, or when I'm depressed, or when I mourn, while fully knowing that it very might be just bullshit.
In a way, I make believe that God exists and is as described in the Bible, but I don't see why I should try to enforce my make believe onto others (and I don't plan on enforcing it on my children).

I'm not versed in philosophy, but reading your comment, I think I adhere to the Correspondence Theory of Truth, in the way that science IS true, science is THE truth. But religion is useful to me, it reassures me, so it is true TO ME, it is MY truth, so I might also adhere to the Pragmatic Theory of Truth.

In the end, I know full well how to differentiate between those two aspects of my beliefs system, and I think both have their uses and both could live together in the human mind, as long as you know which one to use in which situation.
I think the question is where are the errors reported? Would you see logs in dmesg for example? Or is there some smartctl-like tool that exposes the raw correction counters?
There are a lot of support jobs like cook, fork lift operator, electrician etc. that are contracted out. Any US citizen/permanent resident can apply but I'm sure is quite competitive.
What do you mean? Law enforcement doesn't comment on details of an investigation except when asking for help finding suspects. If they have suspects they have to investigate quietly until they have enough evidence for an arrest.

Back in the 1950s, when only 10-12% of Americans over 25 had a 4-year degree or more, a humanities degree was a lot more valuable than today, because it marked you in the top 10-12% in terms of education.

Then “way more people should go to college” happened, which is by and large a good thing, but means that whoever has the least valuable degree is in a worse spot than that same degree would represent in 1955.

It's really sad that neither side actually gets this. Both (for the sake of simplifying, let's call it the left and the right) are filled with loud bigoted reprobates who don't realise they are the very things they hate, just with different labels attached.

An added layer of bewilderment is that the woke movement is becoming increasingly more bigoted, and seems to be using the fascist playbook more and more. Like, where's the self awareness?

Thanks! I just listened to it. What a great interview.

It made me realise yet again that the math used by computer scientists is usually different from the math used by mathematicians. Because what computer scientists care about (computations and proofs) is very different from what mathematicians care about (structures and proofs).

Which means that computer scientists often choose a different foundation for the mathematics they use. Set theory is but one possible foundation. However other foundations (based on type theory for example) are more useful for computer scientists. Resulting in a different flavour of mathematics. And things that are proven to be true in one foundation isn’t necessarily true in another foundation.

However it is all still math. Just different flavours of math based on different foundational axioms.
>I think what I learned from the experience is at some point you’ve got to compartmentalize harmful people from your groups and inevitably a growing number of segments of society, even if that feels wrong in some way. It’s more wrong to let them perpetually abuse people.

You need to ban abusive people at the first possible time (after you have established that they are abusive and not, e.g just ESL who learned from an old TV show/book). The more moderation a community has, the better the community will be.

If somebody has Asbergers and can't adjust, ban them too. The why doesn't matter (unless it is easily correctable), the how does.
I actually don't think that's terribly relevant. Deliberate attacks are qualitatively different from natural events. They're not independent, so naive statistical comparisons are misleading. In particular, deliberate attacks have a significant social component, where the success of one attack, especially one that is widely known, can lead to more being attempted. Attackers can adapt to your countermeasures. There also seem to be an increasing number of people willing to destroy critical bits of society.

In short, past rates are not a guarantee of future risks. I expect infrastructure attacks to be a growing problem.
The response was re: sanedigital's remark that it was a good way to minimally fix (implied) bad teams.

And I've seen it used exactly that way in practice at bad companies.

It's not a strawman if it's lived experience and professed corporate IT strategy at a lot of non-tech companies.

"Runtime value" is an implementation detail. You could write an Idris interpreter.

It'd be useful too. Why should your whole project fail to run just because one file that's not going to get used has a type error?

It's possible that their true target was in the neighborhood of the second station, that the second station wasn't actually misidentified. But I guess we'll only know for sure when they get caught.

One thing I don't understand is why many or most of these fake businesses weren't thwarted by postcard verification. I could only come up with a couple possibilities:

- Google stopped doing postcard verification, or a loophole in the creation process lets savvy scammers avoid it (like an alternate verification method or providing a different address for the postcard).

- New business entries go live before the postcard verification, and that period is long and lucrative enough to be worth exploiting.

- They're paying local property owners to accept a postcard and read them the number - postcard mules. That seems hard to scale as big as some of these networks. Two of the "chains" had dozens of locations in one metro, all seemingly created in the same month or so. Also, some of the addresses seem like multi-unit commercial buildings where one person wouldn't receive a postcard.
How’s the build quality?
1. I think we are speculating about intention here. Maybe they were both incorrectly identified as connected to the larger grid. Maybe the smaller one was chosen as a second target for a different reason.

2. Nothing discussed in the video is insider knowledge. Everything is public knowledge, and could have been learned with a library card and an internet connection.
First time I've ever heard of that tool, it looks incredible. I wish Xcode had some of that functionality. It's close in some ways, all the building blocks are there.

People use crypto to make payments. I know because I invested in a European company that pays a lot of Argentinian developers in USDT. Further removing the link between crypto and traditional payment rails just makes a true circular crypto economy more likely. You don’t need SWIFT once everyone accepts crypto.

afaik the linux kernel doesn't read environment variables, but it does write some: processes spawned by the kernel, such as init, modprobe, and request_key, start with some pre-defined environment variables, like HOME=/ TERM=linux PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin.
That’s true. Press your thumb ever so lightly on the social scale for enough decades and it adds up.

Slippery slope is absolutely a risk. Claims that a person transgressed should not be taken lightly.

... but in the presence of persistent harassment that will not cease online, tying the behavior to the person behind the behavior and bringing proper consequences to bear is the only regulatory system that actually works. There's a reason that you can be fined or imprisoned for trying to pull crap like that IRL.

But I am sorry that you were falsely accused. That is a possibility (both in doxxing attempts and in more "traditional" harassment).

False accusation is entirely possible, but it doesn't imply we just let harassers get on unchecked.

The author, David Mumford, is known for his distinguished work in algebraic geometry, and was awarded the Fields Medal in 1974. [2]

Pattern theory was formulated by Ulf Grenander to describe knowledge of the world as patterns. [3]

Prof. Mumford explains that "[s]everal essential ideas brought me to realize how Grenander's Pattern Theory was the right way to understand almost all cognitive skills and especially vision. One was the emphasis on pattern synthesis as well as pattern analysis." [0]. Second, "was that natural signals given by functions f vary not only by random additive perturbations but often by composition with random rearrangements of their domain. The resulting probability distribution in the vector space of signals is nothing like Gaussian. Its support is usually a twisted snakey submanifold. This puts the lie to all simplistic Gaussian pattern recognition algorithms." [0]. And third, "graphical structures were everywhere in the representations of ideas in cognitive domains" [0].

His most recent work seems to be "Pattern Theory, the Stochastic Analysis of Real World Signals" [1]

I don’t know much about Sam Altman, but the OP listed a bunch of external signals which are just that.

My guess is the Sam has a solid combination of vision, determination, intelligence, realism and connections. Strong determination with all those other positive supports can take you a long way.

Sam also got the timing right: doubling down on AI just as the technology was ripe for it to flourish.
There are limited opportunities to use the aware, this is true. This is most especially due to cost - $3,500 for the base model Hololense. But it works and is actually really cool. It's like the original Microsoft surface product - the table sized tablet thingy, not the laptop form factor - it was too expensive and never saw wide deployment, but it was very cool if you actually got a chance to use it. It's priced out of consumer use, which makes it invisible to most. I have no idea how many people have learned to be airplane de-icers thru Hololense-based training programs, if it's all a marketing gimmick, or if there's a new generation of them trained in VR. It certainly sounds cool, but if they were really making money, it doesn't make sense for Microsoft too have cancelled the project.
I think it probably doesn't take an electrical engineer to figure out that destroying the radiators would put the substation out of action at least temporarily, but it does show they put a bit of thought into it at least. It doesn't seem like a case of a dumbass using the substation for target practice on a whim, it all seems very deliberate and purposeful.

Senior says task will take one day. Junior says it will take 3 days. What do you put into estimate?

Story points are simply a way to say "I think that looks roughly like twice the work of that one we estimated before".

Usefulness depends on specific environment and who and for what interprets the output (usually, at some organization level, there's excel/Gantt, that will convert them into an exact date. That will fail spectacularly in 99% of the cases).

These kinds of businesses are common for scams, by kind of business I mean “urgent” ones: such as a locksmith, or garage door repair. In either case its unlikely you already know/have one, and you urgently want the issue fixed, so you’re most likely to search google and pick the one with the most reviews.

I had this happen to me with the garage door case, dude showed up, different name on card than the van, and different than who I even called. Searching google maps for “garage door repair” turned up tons of businesses with fake sounding names, all a ton of fake 5 star reviews.

> Doxxing is an escalation intended to cause real harm in the real world

Correct. And is the necessary escalation when online-only tools have failed and the attacker will not relent (such as this circumstance, where the actor in question is taking active steps to bypass methods to down-sample their signal).

I'm assuming most people holding a position in this conversation aren't absolutists (for example, they recognize why the FBI honeypots / tricks people / subpoenas information to de-anonymize those suspected of crime). Is the issue which hands hold the power / take the step of de-anonymizing someone? If that is the issue, what is the recommend course of action in this scenario (which exceeds people's tolerance to continue to operate freely in the OSS community without harassment but does not meet the threshold of an FBI criminal investigation)?
