I used to work at a car part store and the majority of the staff was teenagers looking to get into the car world (either future mechanics, or car parts managers) but they WAY under paid us for the type of work. Repair shops looking for specialty parts that someone with mechanics experience should really be looking for, not some teenager asking "whats a brake rotor?". We had a revolving door of workers and our customers knew we were terrible and likely to get the wrong part. Getting screamed at by customers was daily because we had no idea what they were doing. However the exploitation was a trade off of, "I'll get a year experience and go to a dealership" or "I just need a filler job until I get a better job". It was ""exploitive"" but it was extremely helpful to me, it was the only job willing to let me be part time while in school that didn't involve hard physical labour. I did more exploitive jobs before, working 10+ hours hand shoveling snow in -40 for $10/hour. That company didn't last very long because they drained the whole city of potential employees and never knew who was gonna show the next day.
Domestic civilian and military radar is the same thing. It's (mostly) all managed by the FAA, and the military just gets a copy of the civilian radar feed as part of the Joint Surveillance System. [1]

The limiting factor is geography. Radar coverage in the US is excellent, but the mountains out west make universal coverage hard, and there's some areas that just aren't cost effective to cover.

At 40,000 MSL, yes, everything in the US is covered. Below 10,000 MSL though, there are definite gaps - especially in the mountainous west. It's just physics, the mountains block the signal, and filling in all the gaps is cost prohibitive. Instead, they just tell aircraft to fly higher if they want radar service.

As for outages... ATC radar goes out all the time. You just never hear about it because they either switch to an adjacent, (slower) en-route radar site as part of CENRAP [2], or fall back to procedural control (voice position reports on the radio). Redundancy is baked into the system at many levels, both technical and human.

The PC will eventually lock up more. Free general-purpose computing will remain on things like Raspberry Pi (and many other variants). There will be Windows computers, like we now have Macs, and Windows-incapable computers to run Linux (or whatever else open OS).
The right and wrong direction are up for debate. Everything is an opportunity cost, so if the product is not successful or making money, then shifting resources away from it to something more productive may sink the product faster, but might not have been the wrong for the business.

I've not known many executive decisions like that (right or wrong) being made without any input from technical side of the business, perhaps not Joe shitkicker in the trenches but technical leads. and I've very rarely encountered a technical person who concedes that their project or product or team should be given fewer resources. Almost always the complaint is that if only they were given more resources, they could have been successful, which rarely understands business and market realities and often confuses cause and effect.

And the egos and empire building and infighting and so on are definitely a thing that happens, and they are definitely not restricted to management. Engineers and technical people are some of the worst offenders!

I'm not trying to absolve executives and managers here, but I do think some engineers need better perspective and yes some empathy with the business side. Almost no new engineer needs to be told that their leaders are poor -- they'll hear it from their coworkers in their second week on the job and continuously after that until they retire. What I've rarely if ever heard is "damn we shipped a real piece of crap here, it must be embarrassing for our executives and sales people who have to sell it and answer to our customers, we could have done much better".
> So Point3D actually narrows the type of Point2D even though the notation suggests that it widens it.

The notation suggests that it extends the definition with additional restrictions. Which it does. Which, yes, produces a narrower scope. That’s how definitions work.
If they shoot and miss, assault or murder they get additional uplifted charges (like you list above because of the ACT not just intent). Robbing with a weapon is in itself prima facie evidence of willingness to use that weapon and why there is uplifted punishment for "armed robbery" vs "robbery".

If they simply rob without a weapon, there are generally robbery charges with lessor penalties.

There is a clear uplift of risk/jeopardy of death or harm when using a weapon while committing robbery -- the person committing the crime is only partially in control of the outcome: the victim, witnesses, law enforcement interruption or an infinite number of random events can all trigger the harm (which is attached to the original crime). But this is well known and a decision the assailant made before committing the act -- they inherently are willing to kill or harm the second they chose to use the weapon in the act even if their intent walking into it was not to kill specifically.

I guess we just disagree, but I am very happy the laws and punishments are written to align with my POV.

If they have real skills they can find employment else where.

They are whining because they know they were being over compensated at Google and that they are unlikely to be able to find another job that pays so much money with so little effort.

They're not my enemies but they're not my friends. I don't feel sympathy for them. If anything, they should feel sympathy for me and give me some of that extra cash they've been getting. Why do they deserve it more than I do? I can do "nothing at all" just as well as they did.
The article has lots of factual arguments going. But it misses the 1) point you mentioned. Regardless of whatever people like to believe, that guy isn't going crash and burn, go bankrupt or anything like that.

It's fairly simple for the government to bail him out. They already did that to Anil Ambani. It doesn't even have to be a direct payout, there are always 'projects' you can give and pay them some 1000% extra money compared what it would otherwise cost. In other words a government(tax funded) bailout is easily doable and will be done, when the need arises. In many ways the party is just giving money to itself(Electoral bonds).

Just to complete the argument, don't expect any backlash against the government either. The current ruling party enjoys nearly 'no prior conditions' based support from their constituency regardless of whatever they do, no matter big a disaster unfolds. And this is going to be the case for the foreseeable future(think decades).

To summarise, whatever fraud this is, no matter how big the impact of this on the Indian economy. In fact even if takes down the whole set up with him. He is just going to emerge from this fine. And the government will bail him out without any consequences for them.

I at least got a chuckle out of it. So it's good enough for me
It's super interesting to read this list as someone young enough that the first time I was ever prompted to consider computer security was in a college course almost a decade after this was written. Although different terminology was used, some of the ideas, like "Default Permit" and "Enumerating Badness" were so heavily discouraged when I first started studying that it's almost hard to imagine them being considered good practice so recently before (although even today they're common enough that it's still worth calling out, so maybe this wasn't uncommon knowledge at the time either). On the other hand, the next two ideas, "penetrate and patch" along with "hacking is cool" certainly don't seem to be as reviled as the author would like, and I don't think that the latter was a dead idea within a decade like they suggested. Trying to interpret them charitably, I could believe that the intention here was to decry the lack of proper threat modeling that was done in advance at the time (which still is a real issue today). On the other hand, reading it at face value sounds like the idea that if you think enough in advance and just "don't write bugs" that your product will be 100% secure and never need any patching, which I don't think is a good take. I'd counter that it's essentially the same as the fallacy they mention later, "We don't need host security, we have a good firewall"; proper design up front is a good "firewall" to stop bugs from coming in, but it's not a substitute for having proper mitigations for when they do inevitably occur.
It's not just silencers - movies and video games are generally bad at gunshots. For good reasons - if you make them as loud as they ought to be, even to the limits of the recording equipment (since you'd need to go well into the hearing-unsafe territory), they'll drown out everything else.

There are exceptions. The famous shootout scene from "Heat" does a surprisingly good job at conveying just how deafening gunfire really is close up, for a movie. Although even that is much milder than it would be IRL, due to use of blanks and the aforementioned equipment limitations.

So the word to-do list is misleading. It should be a to-do heap. To be specific, a to-do min-abs-heap :)
Metamates.

Microsofties.
If stocks go to zero, it's generally easy to get your hands on them, since people holding those shares will want to realize capital losses for tax purposes. Even if the stock is delisted from exchanges, brokerages routinely "buy" such shares from their clients, and I'm sure they would make the shares available to anyone wanting to close out a short position.
So you're saying you won't be impressed until it can 100% replace you. Seems like you will have trouble adapting if you decide to wait that long.
iot vendor: "we will sysadmin for you JOHN of 123 MAIN ST, BOISE. with automatic updates and automatic shipment on low toner or dishwasher rinse aid!"
> too hard to search on?

You only wrote "latest wargames" whatever that is. I'm not wading through the dreck of the interweb to figure out what you had in mind based on that. Thanks for pointing out specifically what you had in mind.

While interesting, it is as I imagined; there is no political calculation involved here. When the time comes to weigh supply chain problems (even if severe) against going kinetic with China and risk losing carriers, destroyers, etc. I believe the US will decline. We're talking about nuclear fallout here. Recovering damaged warheads from the seabed on the other end of the planet. Respectfully, I just don't see it.

> Funny how you ignore my point and rather focus on the side-comments.

I don't think I deserve this. For my part I've been respectful of your comments and I appreciate your time.

> Losing Taiwan is an extinction level event for multiple, major US Industries and service sectors. Period.

As we've seen with COVID-19 the Western establishment is capable of causing great harm to private sector interests when, right or wrong, they've deemed it necessary. The US military hasn't been so irresponsible that it can't function without a continuous supply of 3nm GPUs. I'll grant you there will be great disruption, but it's neither fatal nor permanent.
And it seems like those feature updates don't die for no reason. They phase out models with insufficient RAM or 32-bit CPUs.
It's very good in Malay, though it has an Indonesian dialect.

It's bad at this particular sentence though: "Sesuatu yang sedikit dibicarakan di media tentang ChatGPT adalah ia multibahasa." (Something rarely spoken in media about ChatGPT is that is is multilingual)

Mine would be: "Media jarang membicarakan kebolehan ChatGPT berbicara dalam pelbagai bahasa" (Media rarely speaks of the ability of ChatGPT to speak in many types of languages)

It might just be that ChatGPT feels compelled to follow the exact same sentence structure and sometimes words just don't fit into those fields. If I translate a correct sentence into English as above, it sounds awkward as well.

ChatGPT does Malay poetry better than me, but it seems to be heavily biased towards love songs.
Personally, I can't go with this advice. We're on 2.5 years rolling our own, and it's been really clear that we made the right choice in not going with next.js, which was the only such framework at the time.

Given that the remix author complete broke react-router for our use case (to the point where we can't upgrade to v6), I wouldn't trust that remix could meet our needs, either.

(There is a temptation to fork react-router v5 and maintain it independently. But, we're good just pinning the version for now.)
I find it interesting how quickly people will defend their own exploitation.
Because you get issued a range and you actually do whatever you want within that range. Like IP addresses.

What you do within that range is up to up, you don't actually have to ask the authority for every single number within the range. As a simplification: If you get the number from 100 to 200 to assign to your books but the last digit is a check digit, you didn't get 100 numbers to choose from. You got to choose from: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and the third number is the check digit, which is computed from the other numbers. Just with ISBNs (and other numbering schemes) the numbers are larger of course.

Going back to the IP address analogy: if you are issued 11.0.0.0/8, you can use anything from 11.0.0.1 to 11.255.255.255 but you don't have to start with 11.0.0.1 and you don't have to treat it as one big /8 either. You can subdivide it into multiple /28s for example.

The only difference here is that with ISBNs (or anything else that has a check digit) is that the last digit is not freely usable. It's just a check digit. It's not really part of the range so to speak. It's like you subdividing your /8 into lots of /28s but ignoring the fact that the network address on the /28s is actually the network address and having one of the computers in your network use it as their actual IP address. That's obviously gonna wreak some havoc because some of your network thinks it's a network address for one of the /28s and some others think it's an individual computer.
And I bet you think your $50K/$100K/$150K or whatever else salary is perfectly justified and you are adding great value to the world. Why is that? Or will you admit that you are privileged as well?
They should have remote operators on call. It should be simple to integrate a routing into the software that sends an alarm if it detects the car is stopped in the middle of the road for more than 5 minutes. Remote operator gets the alarm, takes control and moves over the car to the side of the road.

He is talking about how the prevailing attitude towards antitrust in the executive branch has changed. Lina Khan is a symbol and motivator of that change. Not sure what you're talking about.
Well now I don't want to apply OR work there!
The Adani Group is massive, transnational, and has resource partnerships that cross continents with multiple joint companies and government relations.

There are relationships with Indian banking giant ICICI that are questionable and that also cross continents.

And more (it's big wall map tiny font material here).

Point being, shaking up the Adani Groups reputation has flow on effects that can be capitalised upon in many ways by shorting many other associated companies that may fail due to governments losing confidence to proceed on large projects, choosing other partners, etc.
Nah, the worst case you end up in court facing damages, fines, or jail time, depending on the lie and who you told it to. And unable to find work in your industry again.
I don't think you not having heard of the guy mentioned makes it machine generated? You could Google him, he is very big fish but keeps a low profile in the media. Most of his wealth is also stocks so it's highly vulnerable to fluctuations.
I started reading but couldn't get my sleepy brain around how Adani manipulated the stocks. Sure, the valuations are astronomical but doesn't indicate that Adanis themselves are behind the rise? Can someone please post a TLDR?
Surely they should be functions?

It sounds like you’re disagreeing but you’re restating his point: all of the things you listed are how rare events are prevented from becoming worse.
The RTGs weren't launched in a different era. The most recent RTG went up less than three years ago. (On Perseverance.)
Would be a trivial way of pretending the user is active and preventing sleep, useful for miners or ensuring the device is accessible when the attacker is online.

However, Apple has made substantial changes to how it handles hardware and system-level extensions, and I doubt this would be possible without exploiting either the OS or existing software on the system. It would require a sysadmin to install, as the approval process requires accessibility access.

I love minisforum and all things mini pcs.

To add to parents great idea, this is 70 bucks more (currently $320 versus $390 for this on Amazon US) and it's an 8 core ryzen and 32gigbs of ram so will handle a lot more:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFBNDVW8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_...

Not affiliate, just anecdotal, just purchased this for myself this last fall and its fast and cheap and I feel the best current value from mini pc's at sub 400. The ones at 600-1000 cost are just incrementally better from this one's specs so I feel it's the sweet spot at $390. So your server can be much much beefier for not much more.

I may even be running a GPU externally on this :)
The company has no externalities or strategic competitors and doesn't leverage market dominance? Is it situated at the North Pole and run by a jolly old man in a bright red suit?

If p is the probability of success, then probability of 1500 successes in 150 independent trials is p^150. With p = 0.99, the chance you see 150 successes in a row is 0.22. If we take significance level to be the standard 0.05, then we cannot reject the hypothesis that the chance of success of Falcon 9 is less than 99%. We can, however, reject the hypothesis that it's less than 98%: if it was 98%, then in 150 trials, probability of all successes is 0.048, which is smaller than 0.05.
I think the issue is if you do not keep adding features then some big tech company or larger startup will develop your feature in house and bleed your user base dry.

Imagine if you did one thing really well (like booking meetings). It would take Microsoft or google a year to copy the functionality into their own apps.

No one cares when money is cheap, but in a recession the first thing cut is going to be some single use SaaS app. For software that was sold with a license key it obviously isn’t as much of an issue, but the recurring revenue makes you beholden to continuously adding new features.
This was interesting, but for the Stephen King On Writing Book, when I asked it what Chapter 5 was about, I got a different answer each time.

I have a website in development aidev.codes that automatically saves the output from OpenAI queries to files you specify (hosts them in a web page if it's that type of file). GitHub integration is one of many things I have planned. Today fixing some bugs with the knowledgebase stuff I just added yesterday and also putting in a template system. It has an !!edit command.

Also if you use vim you can try my npm package `askleo` `npm i -g askleo` (not tied to the website but requires your own OpenAI API key) with `:r ! askleo Go function to reverse a list of numbers` or whatever .
It’s a fantastic board spec. Timing with them on availability can take longer. If they can get VMware compatible would be great. Because they have dual 10g you need no network card in most cases. AM5 integrated graphics allows bring up / troubleshooting with no additional card (if remote console not working well). My use case I’d trade an extra m2 slot for a pci slot but can see their approach. These boards fit in nice compact setups as a result because u can run no pci and no hd setups

I am disagreeing because this person doesn't understand the concept of defense in depth: Occasional problems will happen, will ye or nil ye, and the best you can do is to, as you say, prevent them from becoming worse. Thinking airliners don't have occasional problems is missing a lot of what the air industry does that we can implement in other realms.
I've been looking for a new bank in the last week. Actual password practices I have encountered in 2023:

* ME Bank: Password must be between 6 and 20 chars long and consist entirely of numbers

* Westpac: Password must be exactly six (6) characters long, letters and numbers only
Airliners have to deal with all sorts of problems on the fly, literally. You can't stop lightning strikes, birds, engines catching fire, or any other myriad problems.

It's such a terrible analogy I'm a little flabbergasted. Planes need to reboot all the time to clear out hardware and software faults. The occasional problem is planned for.

Most managers are extroverts and thrive on micro-managing. It's doing their head in that staff can be given tasks and stuff gets done without their constant interference.

WFH of course doesn't apply to the majority of tangible work, but then again it doesn't get done in offices either.
