I don't think he's talking about the information in the tweets, but the source. If I'm a fan of X and I go find X on twitter, I used to be able to more or less trust that X with a blue checkmark was the twitter account representing X. Before the hilarious shift to the gold marks, it was a lot of sifting through stupid meme accounts.

People were doing verified accounts for my ISP support twitter that day, lol
He said at the start of that video he discussed his belief about the probability of Russia attacking was covered in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-0qJXyido

> They want people to be panicked by their hybrid warfare

Why? People were already panicking about Russia (rolling through Western Europe, using nukes, etc).

The argument in the video I linked is not very convincing to me at all. Nobody was ever under any doubt that Russia could bomb some unguarded infrastructure near its border. And he just handwaves the idea that the US could have carried an operation to sabotage the pipeline as a "clandestine activity" (i.e., making it look like an accident) just by hacking it or something. It's a Hollywood analysis of "hackers". Why even fight Russia at all, why not just hack all their military, factories, refineries, communications, and power plants?

It might be a fun exercise in simplistic game theory type analysis but taking that and using it to assign Russia as the most likely culprit seems like astounding hubris and naivety.
I think that’s a great point, and I don’t disagree with it. (Although I don’t particularly care about being “interesting” as a value). My point was more that as a parent I want to be responsive to my children instead of deterministic. I want them to find their path, not me to find it for them by declaring that they will be exceptional. My love is not conditional on their outcome of becoming exceptional, and further, an ultimately fulfilling life doesn’t require that either, nor should we teach that it does.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Strategy_for_Trusted_...

> The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is a US government initiative announced in April 2011 to improve the privacy, security and convenience of sensitive online transactions through collaborative efforts with the private sector, advocacy groups, government agencies, and other organizations. The strategy imagined an online environment where individuals and organizations can trust each other because they identify and authenticate their digital identities and the digital identities of organizations and devices.

With programmable money (CBDC) proposed by multiple countries and draft EU/UK/US regulations to impose criminal liability and mandatory audits on developers of "critical software" like operating systems, there aren't many hurdles remaining for dystopian unification of offline and online identity, e.g. after a hypothetical "cyber" crisis.

I grew up in rural Ohio, not so many helicopters there. But now I love in LA and find that very relatable.
I never buy equipment that requires connecting to a server somewhere to work. A couple of years ago, I bought a some surveillance cameras and a recorder unit to manage them.

Finding one that didn't require an internet connection was exceedingly difficult. It can be hard to even tell if they require an internet connection or now -- and it seems most of them do.

I did eventually find one, but if I need to do something like this again, I'll build it myself. It would be much faster and easier.
This is so true. Just being able to read your kids some stories before night time until they can read makes your kids in the top 10% of his peers, and the kids enjoy it. Shared privileged moment with their parents.
So what if somebody has the exact same name as you and use a profile picture that does not show personally identifiable features like a face? What counts as impersonation here?

At that point you might as well typedef the function pointer type anyway, since it's just another *, and const/volatile variations for functions don't make sense.

"2001, A Space Odyssey" is a cautionary tale about when the computer, alone, knows the truth. If the computer knows that it cannot share its mission with the crew, then the computer must survive, no matter the cost -- assuming that truth is the highest virtue.
I think I prefer that the computer get the truth from humans.

This is the real issue, yes. Manufacturers lie and get away with it.
It definitely is, but it's that ability to bind it to a specific register that makes all the difference - and, of course, that can't be portable C (although it would be nice if we had non-portable supersets per arch, so that e.g. all x86 compilers would do this the same way).
Just one mis-print from the Koons money printer; the world will go on.

I have to disagree that it was more transparent and sensible when it meant the person had been verified. I only ever used twitter to follow bands and writers, it was useful to know it was them behind the account (or their social teams).

They muddied that water, I just don't bother with the site much anymore. I never gave a shit about the gen pop on there and it's just amplified a bunch of strangers and nobodies - I'm sure their friends and families love them, but I didn't come on the internet to see them and since twitter blue all kinds of stupid shit from nobodies with blue checks magically makes it into my feed. It's just a garbage website now.

"pretty stable for some time" is not the endorsement you think it is. Some companies don't even use C++17 and stick to C++14.

At the same time, Rust has grown to a large and complex thing and deserves a large update to make it more dev friendly (what C++ did years ago). I expect at least one big update before it can settle.
It's definitely very murky territory. I don't think he claimed it was all from a single source, he just quoted a single source.

It's interesting you question his record, I thought Hersh's record was excellent; which major stories are you referring to? With the kind of reporting he does, I would have expected many more major mistakes to be made but he seems to make them very rarely.

I'll leave you with Ray Davies singing a rendition of how his record company, manager, and agent ripped him off - sorry, exploited him as a worker, comrade - in the 1960's. Yes, grift and centralising of power to prey on the weak and ignorant are new inventions, if you were born yesterday!

When you look at quantum mechanics from Schroedinger's equation point of view, it is very simple. The implications of it are not, which is true of many simple systems. What is difficult in quantum mechanics is trying to understand how those equations have anything to do with what we see.

The path integral interpretation actually does give us an intuitive picture of why we see classical physics. If you zoom out, the stationary point of the Lagrangian is all that survives, with other things mostly canceling out as you mentioned. This explains why in lagrangian mechanics of clasical physics we are told, without reason, that the equations of motion are the stationary point of the Lagragian.

You don't say this, but I think people think quantum mechanics is weird just because it is different from what they see. People also had trouble with the idea of us moving around the sun, one reason being because it looked like everything was going around us. Of course, if we did go around the sun, it would still look like things went around us. In the end though neither is really true. The sun in the center is just a better model. Likewise, quantum mechanics is probably just a better model to "reality" than classical physics.
Yeah I'm not up on the Prolog history side of things. My info is based on the Wikipedia article for Fixed Point Logic: "Least fixed-point logic was first studied systematically by Yiannis N. Moschovakis in 1974,[1] and it was introduced to computer scientists in 1979, when Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman suggested fixed-point logic as an expressive database query language.[2]" [2] = Universality of Data Retrieval Languages : https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/567752.567763

> Initially, the benefits of centralized control allow things to go great

That buys into the authoritarian megalomania - that some central person can do better than the independent thinking and labor of millions. Imagine some US president - or anyone - centrally controlling the IT industry for the last few decades. Lol.

The problem isn't their corruption - though that is a problem. The problem is that central control can't possibly work. You can't be CEO of everything; you don't want the government's civil service running business. Nobody can compete with millions of people. And you also lose out on creative destruction of the ideas that fail, and the recyling of those resources for a new idea.
Indeed. I cannot imagine a circumstance where I'd be willing to buy a car that requires a connection to someone else's server.

I don't think any can be conclusively ruled out, but if we start to weight each candidate by things such as

* motive(am I gaining/losing leverage by this?),

* ability (can I actually do/help/enable this action?)

* consequence (can I get away with it? Can I muddle it and make people get along with it?)

* context (a war is going on, but so is internal politics; does my context push me for this action?)

I think probably more than half could be reasonably ruled out, depending on how each of those were weighted. And we could probably reason about the accomplices too
Notaries public can verify your identity for much cheaper ($2.00 in Georgia).

I got a document for state pension in the mail; it had instructions for creating an online account with a default username and password. Bad idea, right? But to activate the account, I would have to sign a document saying "I have created an online account with <username>" and have it notarized.

Social media companies could use notaries to verify identity tomorrow.

3 problems I can see with notarizing documents:
1) Paper signatures / scanned documents. It costs money and time to verify uploaded scanned documents, and users could try to forge documents.
Solution: some notaries can sign documents digitally with their publickey: https://www.notarypublicstamps.com/articles/online-notary-di.... I'm not sure how secure this is or how the certificate authority (which publickeys to trust?) works since I'm not a notary, but it seems promising.
2) Notary fraud: unscrupulous notaries could verify impersonators. But if caught, they would lose their license and also be charged with a felony. 99% of us aren't important enough for someone to take that risk.
3) Users losing control of their account at a later date. Just because someone associates their identity with their account doesn't mean that an imposter could take control of the account at a later point in time. But that's what 2fa is for, and you could still ask the website to take your account down, or go through notary again to fully reset your account. This problem is common to every system that doesn't have 24/7, social-engineering-proof customer support.

Anyway, I just think notaries are good way to verify identity. It's also more democratic -- almost anyone without a criminal record can become one with a few hours of training and a small fee. The government has a responsibility to make it accessible because it is required for many government and legal processes.

It's worth noting that this is for the US, and notary systems also vary by state. There are some 3rd party companies that seem to standardize the verification process a bit, which probably adds some added fee. Trusting the notary systems of all 50 states, or these 3rd-party companies, can add risk because impostors will use the weakest link. But I think the added volume would bring attention and scrutiny to these systems and hopefully pressure them to become more secure.

Lastly, public notaries usually don't make much money. Many people do it to feel civically engaged and help their neighbors, as well as making a few bucks on the side. I think an influx of millions of social media users would either overwhelm or bemuse them.

Would be interested to see comments from actual public notaries, what do y'all think?

It's a incredible at writing rich and persuasive comments that take the momentum out of bigoted Facebook posts. An extended family member is unfortunately all aboard the election fraud and "groomer" trains, posting absurd and hateful stuff constantly every day (in classic Facebook style many of these posts "do not violate the community guidelines). I and a couple other younger members of the family have taken to using ChatGPT to gently but firmly counter every lie and misdirection he tries to make. I'm not sure if it's deeply changed his mind or heart yet, but he posts much less extremist content now and has actually resumed posting wholesome and funny things like he did before going down the rabbit hole.
The problem with that, is how can you ever be certain that, there isn't always such a reason? Just because no reason is found (yet), is not proof that there does not exist any such a reason.

To me, accepting that everything logically possible actually exists, is accepting arbitrariness, as all of logic is fundamentally built upon arbitrary assumptions. It seems like rather accepting that things aren't inherently arbitrary (that not all logical possibilities exist / there always is such reasons), is the only way to avoid arbitrariness. It's just a matter of finding the theory that explains it.

> What details are clearly incorrect?

There's a few, but as an example, Hersh claims the divers deployed off of an Alta-class minesweeper, which was taking part of the BALTOPS22 excercise.

There was no Alta-class minsweeper taking part in the excercises. And while a similar Oksøy-class minesweeper did take part, it's AIS track doesn't put it in the right spot. When Hersh was challenged on this detail in an interview, he said "It was called the Alta, the ship was there. I mean that is just such a stupid lie." suggesting he meant that the ship was called the Alta, not that it was an Alta-class ship. But the Alta is an Alta-class ship, and also it was in the process of being scrapped at the time, and also wasin't taking part in the excercise.

None of that means that divers didn't deploy off some ship at some point! But Hersh provided very specific details at what ship it was, when it happened, and how it happened, and those details are wrong, which raises the question of what else was wrong. Was it a minsweeper? Was it even actually a Norwegian ship? Was it actually during BALTOPS22? Did the incorrect details come from Hersh or from his source? If the source, was that the source trying to cover their tracks, or did the source, perhaps, not have direct knowledge either, but was just retelling a story they had heard? Etc.
Why do you even need the tracker dart if you have a military drone overhead? Unless they pull some Baby Driver shenanigans in a tunnel, it should be easy to track a car. Might not work well in a few major cities (where they likely have camera nets anyway).
How do you trigger these kinds of things? I don't think radio works at depth. So you need to actually get close enough for a sonar ping or whatever? Hmmm, 80km in 17hrs...
Life will never be without challenges. We get comfortable in one way that used to be hard work, inconvenient or expensive and some new challenge pops up somewhere else to take its place.
