absolutely. in the case of openziti, the x.509 is the first authentication gate (optionally paired with ziti posture checks and mfa). everything from there is least privileged, attribute-based access, at a service level. default is closed - access to no services (even if authenticated at the level of the private ziti network fabric overlay).

My understanding is that around 60-70% of the homeless in SF used to have a home/work and wish to be productive members of society but have fallen on hard times for one reason or another. So 30-40% are in the "wouldn't take the housing if you gave it to them" group.
The only reason I elect Apple is because it has an OS that isn't Windows and isn't Linux. I spend a lot of time fixing other people's operating system problems, I don't want to do it at home.

There is no way I will ever again run Linux as a daily driver. I had to do it a decade ago, and it was fine. It isn't fine now.
I take issue with "Non-availability of low code/No code tool". There are plenty of no-code and low-code ETL tools that are heavily used for reading, re-formatting and restructuring CSV files. For exanple out own Easy Data Transform, which is a drag and drop data transformation tool aimed very much at business users, rather than professional data scientists.

In middle school (late 80's, early 90's ?), me and a couple friends used to sit around in class and dream up custom JRPGs like Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy type games. We'd draw maps and build out stories and wish we could build out the actual games.

Today with tools like Godot and RPG Maker (regardless of how good or bad compared to others), I realize it is actually possible to build these games I used to dream about. But like the title of this article, I fear falling too deep down a rabbit hole now that i have a family and adult responsibilities.

But man does that inner 12-year fet super excited at the thought of building an 8-bit Dragon Warrior clone based on the old Middle Earth Role Playing TTRPG adventures.
it sounds like you’re reading more into my words than there is to read. additives are ingredients in mass-produced food that wouldn’t be there if you made the same thing at home. it’s as simple as that
The fatal flaw in your sarcasm is that specs are declarative but those languages are imperative. Those languages also have more syntax than is strictly necessary, which limits the ability of domain experts to contribute to the spec without the assistance of a developer.
What the article is saying is that when you develop and build ML systems, your workflow is different from the workflow you would have if you were solving the same problem without ML.

The weird part is presenting it as 2.0 which implies that it replaces 1.0; it doesn't, apart from some edge cases like image recognition - we don't hand code rules to recognise images anymore but that's a tiny tiny part of all the software development work out there.
You still need to shift your hand position. One of you hands leaves the home row, or at least that's how I always used the track point (and I started using them in the 90s). Is it as much of a shift as a trackpad? No, of course not. Is it a panacea of speed because your hands don't have to move as much? Not at all. Keyboard shortcuts are still much faster.

You like them or you don't. There's no real need to explain about it anymore than that. Honestly, on my Thinkpads, I used the trackpad just as much as the point. Maybe I'm just not very good at it, but it takes some skill to use the point. The physical click buttons are nice though.

I also don't use 3 finger shortcuts on my Mac either, so maybe I'm just crazy.
I do not want to intrude - but I am curious at the same time what you mean by "real harm", was it something along the lines of what the original author described?
(Or perhaps other people can share their experiences?)

I'm also a bit confused from a logical point of view - if there is such and end goal of Zen, of being "completely disassembled" wouldn't Japanese temples where they do a lot of zazen, at some point need to look like asylums for the terminally psychically ill, once a majority has "disassembled themselves"?
> These days I do 20 minutes a day of mind control which involves nothing more than counting down from 9 to 1 repeatedly.

If it works for you that's great. However, I would say approaching meditation from a "mind control" exercise such as "counting down from 9 to 1 repeatedly" goes counter to its purpose and will hinder its full potential. If you're willing to experiment with other methods, try letting your mind wander and don't let it stick; just experience the ebb and flow. Twenty-minute sessions sound about right for me as well.

It's a common argument, which may or may not be true if it can be properly defined at all.
Basically what he did what read about the "insight knownledges", (which are initially described in the Visuddhimagga, in a very loose way), and interpret them in whatever ways he sees fit, then proceed to see his, and everyone's life through the lens of that. He even diagnose everyone like an MD on his forums. (And incidentally, he /is/ a MD.)

You hear a dog bark and feel afraid ? Do you do meditation ? yes ? Surely you must be in a Bhaya ñana phase, and are on your way to enlightenment. Because bhaya = fear. Did you already experience that a few years ago ? did you go through this and that extremely loosely defined stages ? Then surely you are already a Sotāpanna and are headed to the attainment of once-returner.

Based on this he is an Arahant (because he says he cycled the insight knownledges 4 times).

But being an Arahat basically means being free of ill will, desire of the senses, and of a sense of self-existent self (and other things). It does not mean "just go though those phases, and that's it, that's his own reduction of the path to a few pages in the Visuddhimagga, which i would not even consider canonical personally.

> Are you basing this purely on reading about supposedly enlightened people getting angry or grumpy? That's a surprisingly common thing, actually.

People believing they are enlightened are common in some circles, yes, and it's always a red flag imo.

Yes, an Arhat does not get angry, that's in the very definition of the term: ill will has been totally eliminated. You cannot say you are an Arahat but you get angry, it would just mean you are something else than an Arhat, by definition.
I think it's also psychological. When buying a Mac, you have this warm fuzzy feeling that you are taken care of, you have been given the best, there is nothing to improve and nothing to worry about.
the company described here has ~30 people. Of course you don’t need PM. PM is a coordinator function. Can this scale if the product surface area multiplies 10x, and so does the org? At Notion we did something similar and it broke down as the company passed the Dunbar number (> 100 eng + design + sales + support). We faced stagnation because being “champion” & coordinating meant you couldn’t perform your function at the same time.
I don't think kernel ABI is compatible between versions.

So unless the vendor distributes the source for the driver interfacing with the machine, it shouldn't run on modern releases.
Edge still uses the Microsoft root store; Microsoft’s program has been going through some updates recently and they paused processing of new applications while sorting processes. I would guess their application is in but is still under review.
> Without additives, your bread is hard and stale 24 hours from now. Are you willing and able to go buy bread every single day?

I have a bakery and 3 stores within 5 min walking distance. But I'm in Europe so I don't need to worry about those additives anyway.

Tbh the rule of thumb for bread is you should be suspicious if it doesn't go bad in a few days :)
I recently attended a hackathon (TreeHacks) where Andrej was a keynote speaker, and he's since updated his vision to include the significance of LLMs. The new software is that of prompt engineering, using LLMs as a simulator for the types of programs you want to build [1]. The definition of programming will keep changing as we get to higher and higher levels of abstraction.

>1. Chinchilla has demonstrated models are currently unnecessarily large, and would benefit more from data scaling.

Not convinced. It showed this for the original self supervised task, but it might be true that the spare parameters end up being useful for the later finetuning/RLHF stages.
Why would the AIs spit out code? I think the point of the article is that they'll spit out black boxes full of weights that can be used to compute anything ala the universal approximation theorem. You'll train a neural net for a given task and verify the results. Producing code seems to be pandering to our ego.

To top it all off, the next generation of techies think the company that did this is one of the good ones and voluntarily use their software(VSCode?).
The syntax. I don’t see how prior use in mathematics or other languages has any bearing. JavaScript could have led the way by using a clear syntax instead of perpetuating complexity.
tcpdump or a pcap should probably show something fairly obvious for a 40 second delay. But my guess is path mtu problems. I've written a test for this; it's unpolished but might help you out.

click start, and wait for the test to finish. If the table shows notes other than OK in the right column, you might have an issue. If you do, probably you can fix it by applying MSS clamping on your internet router, or manually setting an MTU appropriate to your connection.
How does one achieve 17 hours of battery life with an X13 Gen3 AMD? I can manage maybe 6.
I'll give an example that I'm sure the gp did not have in mind, but it's one that I see somewhat often. If you ever ask a question online about trans ideology, such as a basic question about biology like "do trans woman menstrate?", a lot of people will say things like "it's not my job to educate you."

I personally hate that response. If you truly believe something is true, and you believe that you have evidence to back it up, you would show that evidence every chance you get.

Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should have some understanding of why they think the things they do, which should require "doing your own research" to some extent. But people who make bold claims and defer to telling people to do your own research without any kind of source for their claims is probably doing so because said claims don't have great evidence to back them up.

I do agree that the people that tell you not to do your own research and just appeal to authority shouldn't are the bad guys. "Do your own research" should be like saying "I am not a lawyer, but" - it should be used as a disclaimer of sorts after presenting an explanation of why you think your claim is true. "Here's what I think, here's why, but I could be wrong, so you should look into it yourself too."
It is more or less Software 3.0 now, DNNs, if compared to LLNs are like analog computers, if compared to VLSI CPUs.

Islands like Rhodes, Zante, Crete, etc. and specific villages targeted only to foreigners like Faliraki, Laganas, etc and on high tourist pediod like August are usually bad indicators of Greece and its people. I don’t know whether you visited those, but it’s pretty much the same in almost all tourist-dependent countries and the most visited sightseeings worldwide. You could visit another island on a different season and just meet the friendliest people around.

These cities also have a housing affordability issue. They all refuse to build enough housing - especially mixed development. It’s not really a shock as to why homelessness is rising when you literally can’t afford a roof and everything else gets more expensive because of landlords leaching all the money out of the economy.
Regarding the non upgradable battery, one thing a lot of people don’t know is that you can charge your MacBook with a USB power bank. The typical phone power bank only puts out 10W, but this is usually enough to maintain the internal charge while you use it on an Air, and to at least very significantly extend the lifetime on the Pro. This has come in handy for me on a long flight where I unexpectedly didn’t have power at my seat.

And someone will decide that a 0.0001% probability of an airplane crash caused by a bug is acceptable? Maybe 0.0000001% is more reasonable? In any case, how do you accurately determine the probability of a rare failure of a black box without doing many real experiments with real inputs?
There is already an Infectious Disease specialization that does this exact thing.
> This article triggered my first panic attacks in years and led to a constant sense of dread and anxiety.

Perhaps you should think of your dread and anxiety as a symptom of craving. But if you think your family obligations get in the way, there's nothing wrong with avoiding deep insight practices for now. You can do light meditation and even take an intellectual interest in the deeper teachings without seriously triggering anything.
These are just recruiters, though. It’s a sales job and they have quotas and incentives. Many of them were not in the industry a short time ago and many are now leaving the industry on a rail.

Do you expect your car sales guy to be professional? I’d love for that to be the case, but the reality is usually not so.
My intent was to single out a-spiritual meditation. Meditation that occurs as part of an established program of spiritual practice, that goes along with other aspects of religion within a centuries old framework is obviously the opposite of weird. It is normal.

Whether what you call crisis events that are part of the process is == psychotic episodes seems dubious to me. The psychosis I hear reported from more extreme “aspiritual” meditators doesn’t sound productive but disabling and in many cases permanently so. In the context of established religion, such things are “selected against” in the Darwinian sense. Anything that’s part of the process within the context of a long running time tested religious framework, be it Buddhism, Catholicism, Hasidism etc… must be evolutionarily advantageous (in a institutional not biological sense).
Rotary has been open to women since 1989, and it welcomes anyone who fits the membership requirements - "adult persons who demonstrate good character, integrity, and leadership; possess good reputation within their business, profession, occupation, and/or community".

I was actively involved in Rotary in the 90s/00s via a Rotaract Club (for 18-30yos), and even then, there were many women, many non-white members, and plenty of people under 50 in the Rotary clubs I visited.

If some clubs/areas are still dominated by white, older males, it is mostly due to the difficulty in attracting any new members into volunteer organisations these days (mostly as it's unfashionable and people have other things to do), not due to any exclusionist policies.

If all of humanity does get wiped out by climate change, it will be kinda comforting to know that we were basically just smart apes the entire time. Like, we had decades of evidence we were going to all kill ourselves and did nothing, that shows a massive gap in our ability as a species/culture to tackle truly planetary problems
Needs this for SHA256 sums

I often compare SHA256 sums of software and have to trust my eyes that the two hashes are the same. Most of the time I just look at the first 5 characters, alongside the last five characters, but I don't look at the middle, and I really should.

Some hashes could deliberately look the same but have 2-3 characters different, and I wouldn't know, unless I look at each character individually, but who does that?
By hardcoding tasks, like old assistants. If they don't have proof that it isn't hardcoded then it is almost surely hardcoded.

For example Google Duplex, I remember many being very impressed by this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5VN56jQMWM

That entire conversation was just hardcoded with some if-else statements depending on what the other part said. The tech isn't as impressive when you know that, and anyone who interacts with the tech will realize that these are just hardcoded actions very quickly, but the demos will look very cool.

So applying that level of hardcoding to these situations you take a hardcoded script, then put an LLM on top that just generates calls to these hardcoded scripts, and voila now you have the exact same assistant you had before but now it has a more advanced text parsing interface.

But it generates a lot of buzz since people think that the whole thing is AI powered when only parts of it are and the rest wont generalize into typical situations. In fact it is now often worse than before since you can't reliably invoke the scripts you want to invoke, instead you have to fight the AI interface trying to get it to read your question the way you want it to.
> I don't get it, what's the fuss about doing things early?

Because a brisk early morning when the sun rises is sublime. In that regard, I totally support people who need to sleep in -- because the only thing better than a brisk early morning sunrise is a quiet one. No rushing about, just relax and enjoy how peaceful it is before the day ramps up. It's energizing.
When I worked in finance, compliance (the team, not the concept) strongly preferred us to use vendor-supported tech. The understanding I got was that using vendor-supported software would indemnify us if a bug in that software caused us to violate some regulation.

Basically, violations caused by software could be passed off to the maintainer of that software, but for open source stuff we were considered the maintainer.

It was generally worth it to them to pay for stuff to avoid the tail risk of upsetting the SEC.

I’ve been hesitating using ChatGPT for copywriting, in the same way I haven’t used Copilot for anything other than exploration. Part of my resistance is “the principle” in the sense that I’m sick of SEO spam. Part is because I’m concerned I’ll become overly dependent on these tools. And a small part of me, I’m sure, is worried that I’ll become overly dependent on these tools because they can be so effective when guided properly. Maybe I’m more worried about accepting this next phase of generative technology.
I don't see posts like this as "feedback for Apple", but as encouragement for people to look into alternatives. Sure, lots of people do indeed prefer Apple's laptop-as-a-service model, but others do not. It is this latter group that posts like this targets.

What you're saying here is more like - yes, everybody knows fast food is bad, so let's stop creating YouTube channels about cooking.
Well first of you'd have to reduce that by the efficiency of our panels, so we're down to 20 petawatts

And then you'd have to factor in the fact that basically none of the planet can be covered in solar panels

And then the fact that you wouldn't be able to efficiently transport the energy to where we need it

So yes in theory you put a couple hundred sqkm of solar panels in the Sahara and you're golden, in practice it's much more complex
> Actually, anytime somebody finds a way to engage students to think in a different way than just trying to memorise facts is a win, IMO. I think it is lamentable that students are asked to rely more and more on recalling facts at the time where it is becoming less and less important compared to critical thinking.

That's a false dichotomy (which I used to believe, too). You can't "think critically" in a vacuum. You need memorized facts to do it (even if you plan to do more research to find out more facts).

I think it's important to spend time focused on memorization, but education can't stop there, either.
United Won’t Make Parents Pay to Sit Next to Children Under 12
It is one of those things as an outsider you think that something is overly complex, and then you learn it, and understand that it's complex because the issue it is tackling is dynamic which often requires a level of complexity to apply over.

I had the same thought with Regex before learning it. Now I can read it like css selectors, and you'll notice that the complex patterns are that way because they have to cover dynamic situations (using ranges, lookbehind/lookahead, etc).
Another thing to be cognizant of is the Gell–Mann amnesia effect and adjacent phenomena.

Especially when people talk about professions like lawyers, etc. it's almost as if they conceive of it as one unified workforce of hypercompetent experts who all know The Truth and can either tell you what it is or, failing that, then at least tell you what you should do in accordance with what The Truth is. But no industry works like that.

Think of how many programmers you know or know of and the range of competencies involved, including absurd practices and just outright weird opinions/positions held by a surprisingly large proportion of folks. Half these people are B- players at best and who are only there because they figured out how to make a living following rituals—which they may not necessarily understand (and some of which may actually be counterproductive but are inoffensive in the sense that they aren't so counterproductive that it will result in being let go).

Or forget that for a moment and just think of how many cases have been tried in court with lawyers on both sides. Do the courts regularly arrive at decisions that recognize counsel for both sides as being right (and it's just, say, the facts that are responsible for their clients losing the cases)? Or can you regularly find lawyers putting forth legal theories that simply don't hold up under scrutiny?
I found it interesting that most of the list of benefits sound like they could be describing Forth.
This works great until you get an engineer who pushes back constantly claiming it’s a time trade off or that this code is correct and you just don’t understand it. Sometimes humor doesn’t cut it.
That doesn't sound like progress. Maybe for CRUD apps it will be okay. I have a hard time imagining it will be acceptable for financial or critical systems.
