"someone might guess a key by luck" has always been an accepted risk of RSA or any key-based encryption system. It's an "act of God".
Thank you all for the kind comments! The Rails community has always been supportive to me. Even criticisms were done in a constructive manner.

I will go into detail on why I stopped RailsCasts in part 3, but I will say it wasn’t because of the community. You all have been awesome.

Interesting this should be my first video card that I bought myself. I do remember there being issues using specific renderer libraries, swapping out glide dll's and that sort of stuff to make certain games work. For a DOA card I sure was happy with it!
I agree, and it’s not even easy to switch careers. Retraining for some other work means learning a lot of new knowledge and skills, with a body and brain that are not nearly as good as they were at 20. The worker also takes a huge loss in income and status by starting again from the bottom. All this assumes that they even succeed at the change.
If you are in graduate school, you should learn how to write. You will not always be in the luxury to have an internet connection to clarify your point to your audience.
Yea, Apple's vertical integration and absolute homogeneity are definitely big factors here. Also size of userbase, and the expectations of said users. (As someone already mentioned folks buy Pine64 SBCs for 20-50 bucks for fun, to tinker, to run their hobby projects, but almost nobody buys an M1/M2 chipped device for thousands of dollars "for this funny little project".)

But what I find very frustrating is that many software projects - especially open source ones - don't really think about the end-to-end user experience and don't have "interfaces" to help manage the UX, as in signal that the device is not respecting some standard/protocol/API/whatever. At best there's some obscure error message. Assertion failed. Blahblah.

I mean ... I know there were latops with Ubuntu stickers, but it's just not a big thing - as far as I know. Sometimes niche manufacturers with some newsworthy feature (FOSS firmware, drivers, etc) get into the news, but that's why it's news, because there's just no run-of-the-mill boring supplier...

> For instance implementations of monadic control flow, effect systems, higher kinded types, algebraic data types, exhaustive pattern matching etc are all laughably unergonomic or entireley missing in most "popular"/"enterprise" languages.

You don't need all that garbage in most languages because they allow mutation. In Haskell you can't have a class instance with a few variables so you end up with all these endofunctors, monomorphisms, and applicatives. And I would argue that, say, implementing Chaitin's algorithm, which involves filling and emptying a stack and destructuring a graph is not at all straightforward in a functional language.
I thought about going to my tenth to do something like this, but two things happened. One, the people who organized our first reunion had not matured since high school. They waited until the last moment to invite a lot of people which meant anyone out of town (ie, who “made it”) wouldn’t be able to come. Two, I realized that forty percent of the people I cared about wouldn’t be there, because our social group spanned years. We had seniors when we were juniors, and when I was a senior we had a sophomore, who was the “king” of the group when my brother joined it when he was a sophomore. I wouldn’t get to see any of those people, and that bummed me out.

By the next reunion I realized I didn’t have anything to prove to any of them. I wasn’t interested. And they were still trying to select for locals. See also “Glory Days” by Bruce Springsteen: people who peaked in high school.
any tips on how to get started here? I have plenty of past Rails experience and although I'd prefer rewriting the stack endpoint by endpoint in something like Phoenix, I'd probably be amenable to other kinds of work yet staying in the Ruby ecosystem
Sure, there are multiple ways to reduce the complexity of your loss-space, but the issue is that you usually want these small gradient values because they are important. Roughly if you "smooth over what appears to be a small hole" often you'll miss a large space that needs to be explored (obviously this is multi-dimensional but you get the idea).

However you can reduce memory by doing mixed-precision training if you are careful. See section "2.3.1. Loss Scaling To Preserve Small Gradient Magnitudes" in https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/performance/mixed-preci...
Ugh, I tend to think of self plagiarism in methods and techniques sections as a feature, not a bug... No change means no change, after all; so long as the other paper is cited, it's clearer that the methodology is consistent.

>A person cannot have a learning disability and be below average in intelligence by definition.

Very aware of this, which essentially means that learning disabilities are a privilege for kids who are ALREADY ADVANTAGED over the other students, and yet a child with a 120IQ and dysgraphia gets to take 50% more time on their test than a kid with 80IQ basically without question, and if they press the issue they can probably get double time. That's my main issue. You need to be below 70IQ typically to be considered to have an intellectual disability.

You know, because that's fair. It's an "accommodation" for a student who has already gotten higher grades than another student to one day be pulled into a doctors office, have it explained that they have this horrible problem, and now get 50% more time on tests than somebody they were already a solid grade point ahead of, a child who statistically we can predict will live their entire lives with higher socioeconomic status and higher quality of life already!

When I noticed how a student who always got worse grades than me, who got no accommodations, I always saw him studying after school in the library and eventually realised "he must he here this every day for hours" I felt "wow this system is so fucking fair - because I lack ability, unlike him who definitionally cannot have a learning disability as he's below average intelligence, so he needs to do a harder version of the tests that I do".

Extra time on exams especially a ridiculous number like 50% is the more ridiculous accommodation in all but the most extreme cases. I got 50% extra time for dysgraphia when I was leaving tests with written essay portions early - maybe to be fair it could have taken me say 20% extra time to write. Also - despite my issues being specific to handwriting - I still got the same accommodation for computerised exams! What a fair and balanced accommodation only an ignorant person would question. I was diagnosed with a disability by a doctor so the accommodation HAS to make sense ten years later in a totally different context!
Why is one of the top posts saying Ali Khamenei launched “gas attacks” on schools? Is this just activists being dramatic or do they really think this was orchestrated by the gov and/or a gas attack? I haven’t read much into it but “suspected poisoning”in the OP article brings to mind tampered food, deploying military style chemical weapons in schools is a whole different ball game.

All of these "this is how you hire" posts are utterly worthless without data afterwards to prove that their selection process results in high performance. Does any of these posters actually correlate interview scores with performance reviews? No. It's just people very confidently announcing their own biases beliefs without any reason except their overconfidence.

At least the reason why we have Leetcode questions is because Google did the research and came to the conclusion that those are were good at algorithms ended up being more successful at Google, and THAT'S why we are all suffering through LC. But now that LC has been gamed, I would love to see what the results are as to what makes a successful interview.
I wouldn’t hire anyone who couldn’t reverse a binary tree (with a bit of coaching is fine too).

As a foreigner, I read the same local news same as locals. I can observe the behavior of governments when it comes to "saving face" versus Western governments.

It's pretty obvious that in countries like China the idea that the government can "never be wrong, never show weakness" is different than the Western approach.
A postmortem is, in most cases, really just a formal process to ensure everyone (including leadership) knows what went wrong, and how to prevent the issue from happening again, with some associated ceremony about like actually keeping track of the relevant action items to prevent recurrence of the issue.

It's pretty rare that you run into an issue that can't reoccur, or have similarly shaped reoccurrences.

Its a long read, but gives an insight how the ransomware NotPetya crippled Maersk and how they recovered.

Looking at how the earlier ransomware WannaCry crippled the crown jewels of many countries, highlights a weakness in non diverse systems.

I even know who is behind them, but I cant prove it, so why even mention it? Because I'm getting closer to proving it, which makes this game all the more interesting, even they have weaknesses they have failed to identify!

The WannaCry weekend was when I met Dame Stella Rimington and Baron Jonathon Evans hill walking at Scafell Pike and you can call me the world famous Walter Mitty because people are so obedient to authority.

Some years ago, Chinese immigrants came to Japan and were looked down upon as cheap labour. Nowadays, Chinese investors are buying the best real estate in Japan, and Chinese tourists are the main customers of the luxury brand shops in Omotesando.

Japan is a country where each generation is poorer than the generation before. In China, you can give your kids a better life than the one you had.

Who exactly is going to "just give" them this money? Big corporations? Why would they do that exactly? Under some law? What would the law say? That each company has to give some random people money? Or is it the government handing out the cash? Who all will they pay? Where will this money come from? What are the chances any of this actually gets voted for and enacted? How will it be enforced?

It's easy to create these fantasies in one's head, but think about it realistically for 5 seconds and it all breaks down.

You were the one who started suggesting that "legacy" was "woke", which you are not. Now you seem to have switched to defending it.

Legacy isn't fairness "down to the most minuscule detail" it is a significant part of admissions procedures, written into the rules. It would be reduce the complexity of admissions to simply throw out all legacy-related text. If it indeed provides no help to those legacy students, surely that's a win-win for everyone?
The plan was to manufacturer the vaccine in Asia for the Chinese market.

I agree that the politically, China didn't want to use Western vaccines.

BioNTech and Fosun Pharma are setting up a 50-50 joint venture to make and sell the COVID mRNA shot in China, with manufacturing capacity to produce up to 1 billion doses a year, Fosun said in a filing (PDF) to the Hong Kong Exchange on Sunday.

It's not really less empathetic, it's just more parochial (i.e. empathy tends to be reserved for the in-group).

Conversely, I find that urban politics often produce the kind of "empathy" where people say things in the abstract that are in line with empathy, but it doesn't translate to actual person-to-person interactions - i.e. it's more of a play act.

The "monkeysphere" concept comes to mind, and it does make me wonder sometimes if true empathy can even be scaled to large and diverse populations in principle.

Never mind that the unspoken secondary effects of someone running Plex on a machine, I.e. they’re probably using it to watch pirated media, which they’re probably acquiring using the same computer.

I think your wife's collogues are missing the forest for the trees here. This isn't going away. You can't stop it. Her university can't win an AI arms race, nor should they even try to. I've already integrated ChatGPT into my workflow and not only is my boss thrilled about it, he's actively embracing it and encouraging the rest of the people at work to do it.

We're discussing approaching OpenAI about enterprise pricing so everyone can have the Plus version.

I'm able to take time doing the bullshit grunt work of my job and essentially outsource it to ChatGPT. Then I go in and fix everything it fucks up - not just code, but poor wording, incoherent / incongruent sentences, etc.

University professors, high school teachers, middle school teachers - everyone - are all in for a rude awakening. You're going to have to get to know your students. You're going to have to scale down class sizes, because you have to now invest time in learning someone's writing style to know what's ChatGPT and what's their own voice. You're going to have to actually test for understanding, not just rote memorization. Our species is moving past that, thank God.

And more importantly, we're going to see college scaled back like it should have already been. Most people are not only not college material, they don't need to be college material. The vast, vast majority of jobs in the world can be easily done without a four-year degree and with a few weeks to a few months on on-the-job training.

We're long overdue to pass the buck back to companies to pay for training their workers, not dumping a $25,000 to $250,000 responsibility on would-be workers in the hopes they can stand out. ChatGPT will hopefully be a huge catalyst for this, and I think paired with crippling student loans, we will start to see a massive paradigm shift soon.
A few suggestions:

1. Application / service to service secrets should be handled either by Vault or AWS Param Store. Both are good. AWS Param Store is easier but less feature rich. Ideally, your Vault instance would have the database engine which allows for automatic rotation and password management of databases like Postgres.

2. Developers should only have access to AWS through SSO using something like Okta. Okta has MFA through it's own authenticator app (not through SMS).

3. Password sharing should be handled with something like sops or if you need a more lightweight solution - Password Pusher. Sops works really well for hiding credentials within code that needs to be deployed. A team managed 1Password instance works well too.

4. Terraform should inherit a role that gives permissions to run against infrastructure. That role should be short lived and limited to running in a CI/CD environment (preferably on your own runner if that's possible).

5. You should have a separate AWS environment for running test projects. You can do this virtually (localstack) or physically through having a separate AWS account. I prefer the later since it's the real thing and implements all the APIs. Localstack can be decent though. If I had to setup an organization now, I would have a minimum of 3 AWS accounts. One for production infrastructure, one for staging environments and one for test environments. I would also add in AWS Budget Alerts and Cost Anomaly detection to prevent huge spend on it.
There are heaps, they're just not as big. We don't celebrate monopolies the same way you do, we don't celebrate exploiting people either.
I don't see how a "cryptocurrency based society" would actually work, but key management is not really the issue? You can give a copy of your key to a "bank" to hold (or even let them generate and keep it for you), use shamir's secret sharing schemes to split it for redundancy, etc. In a society where cryptocurrency was of any actual relevance, services and tools would be widely available to assist, just like you need to interface with and learn about banks today. Plenty of people in the world are still unbanked and even from those that are I would assume plenty "prefer to store cash in their mattresses".

The best postmortem I've seen was actually a conference talk: "Debugging Under Fire: Keep your Head when Systems have Lost their Mind" by Bryan Cantrill (in the GOTO conference, 2017)

Here's a YouTube video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30jNsCVLpAE

Here's the slides: https://gotochgo.com/2017/sessions/86/keynote-debugging-unde...

It goes into detail about a pretty bad outage (when an entire data center was brought down), the human aspects, automation, how they handled it, the various risks, architectures, how things fail and about software development in general.
Edward Tufte's analysis of the Space Shuttle Columbia explosion[0] is by far the most informative post mortem I've seen. It directly impacted everything I've written since reading it.

If you hit the link, you'll see the page appears to be a wall of text, not a simple slide or two. As you read deeper into the report, you'll understand that's an intentional aspect of the report. (I'll also note this is the Columbia explosion, not the better known Challenger disaster O-ring post-mortem discussed by Richard Feynman in his autobiography[1], even though that's a great post mortem as well).

aye - I learned that lesson the hard way many years ago. As with all things ChatGPT - it does better with an expert user. Prior to ChatGPT I learned how to write well both for my job, and then for grad school. ChatGPT is just a time saver.
I hinted at it but I didn’t make it clear. The software development job was “remote until Covid cleared” in mid 2020. The role in Professional Services assigned me to a “virtual office” permanently with travel when “things got back to normal”.
I'd expect significant performance improvements over the next few months are more people work on this in the same way the stable diffusion is now fairly usable on a CPU. It's always going to be slow on a CPU, but the smaller models might be usable for experimentation at some point.
