Back in 1997, when James Gosling outlined his vision for Java, he said it should be a conservative language (wrapping a very innovative runtime) that would ideally only adopt features that have proven themselves, for some time, in other languages. Being a last mover is at the very core of Java's evolution strategy. It's not playing catch-up because we're not trying to adopt all features other, more "adventurous", languages have, but rather to selectively pick the fewest features that would have the biggest impact. That's the aspiration, at least.
The remote locking requires remote connectivity, which means risk of errors or hacking. Also, once the ability to remote lock is built-in, it makes it easy to say "oh sure you paid for XYZ features, but once you sell the vehicle it is reset to factory defaults" — meaning the new owner has to pay for whatever you paid for already.

I think bicycle calorie burn calculators are basically just nonsense. 600 calories is a ton to burn for a relatively short leisurely ride. Maybe 5x too much.

I have an older garmin that has told me I have burned 9000 calories in a weekend, and uh, I didn’t. No evidence for that, but I simply don’t believe it. Bicycle tourists would have to have wild food intake to sustain that for weeks.

That's like- the whole point. If you as a manager set a goal, those three choices are all the choices the people under you have to meet the goal, and you often set it up so that the preferred choice (actually make things better) is impossible. Its saying that decision makers need to be aware of this and adjust your behavior.

Like you said, if they don't, the people dealing with it have no choice- so, it'd be impossible to offer advice for those people, since they have no way of actioning it (unless its convincing the decision maker of that point)
By who? The people I know who have had to deal with GDPR still regard it as a disastrous piece of legislation, a textbook example of how not to write civilized law. It's achieved nothing obvious or concrete, and meanwhile many Americans now perceive the EU as using privacy legislation to extort massive fines from them. Fines that are levied regardless of how much effort they put into compliance.

Some people used “trunk” since well before Git existed. If ever there was an example of how the umbrage at renaming things was baselessly manufactured, master -> main has to be right up there.
> As another resident of California who had previously gotten zero help from the police retrieving a stolen laptop I could GPS trace to a specific address, I would appreciate knowing the tips & tricks.

I would guess that with cars, it is a bit more clear-cut of a job compared to laptops, because every car is registered with the state, has insurance paid on it, and has a unique VIN number. All plain and clear-cut, easy for the government officials to understand.

How would you go about it with a laptop? There is no state-level registry, the perpetrator can easily conceal the laptop elsewhere or swap it for another one, etc. Basically, I bet it boils down to LAPS just not having a simple and easy way to truly verify laptop ownership.

Not trying to justify that behavior btw, imo it should be persecuted and investigated just the same. Just trying to think of a more pragmatic reason for why it is this way.
The diffusion of responsibility is one of those protections. There should definitely be some strict liability for certain corporate malfeasance, where it doesn't too much matter who specifically did the deed, the executive/C-level is responsible and takes the fall (and maybe throw the BoD in there too). Then prosecution comes down to 'Did your company do X? If yes, you're guilty.'

Nope, not even in the same ballpark, er, playground.

TL;DR: Nobody is solving real problems for users, that's hard. So they're solving substitute problems that are easier for themselves.

The conceit is the "playing with themselves" metaphor: I.T. managers are building themselves dollhouses, and I.T. developers are building tech playgrounds, then just playing with themselves.

None of the above are listening to or delivering what users actually need.

// Interesting take, but author after meandering down a rant wasn't sure where to go with it so just sort of stopped writing mid-weeds.
I immediately found the results suspect, and think I have found what is actually going on. The dataset it was trained on was 2770 images, minus 982 of those used for validation. I posit that the system did not actually read any pictures from the brains, but simply overfitted all the training images into the network itself. For example, if one looks at a picture of a teddy bear, you'd get an overfitted picture of another teddy bear from the training dataset instead.

The best evidence for this is a picture(1) from page 6 of the paper. Look at the second row. The building generated by 'mind reading' subject 2 and 4 look strikingly similar, but not very similar to the ground truth! From manually combing through the training dataset, I found a picture of a building that does look like that, and by scaling it down and cropping it exactly in the middle, it overlays rather closely(2) on the output that was ostensibly generated for an unrelated image.

If so, at most they found that looking at similar subjects light up similar regions of the brain, putting Stable Diffusion on top of it serves no purpose. At worst it's entirely cherry-picked coincidences.

The LWN article discusses this point:

> it was widely assumed at the time that SCO's real objective was to prod IBM into acquiring the company. That would have solved SCO's ongoing business problems and IBM, for rather less than the amount demanded in court, could have made an annoying problem go away and also lay claim to the ownership of Unix — and, thus, Linux. ...

> IBM, though, refused to play that game; the company had invested heavily into Linux in its early days and was uninterested in allowing any sort of intellectual-property taint to attach to that effort.
calc is just insane. From the manual:

"Calc was originally started as a two-week project to occupy a lull in the author’s schedule.

...

Emacs Lisp would surely reach its limits long before the project got too far out of hand.

To make a long story short, Emacs Lisp turned out to be a distressingly solid implementation of Lisp, and the humble task of calculating turned out to be more open-ended than one might have expected.

Emacs Lisp didn’t have built-in floating point math (now it does), so this had to be simulated in software. In fact, Emacs integers would only comfortably fit six decimal digits or so (at the time)—not enough for a decent calculator. So I had to write my own high-precision integer code as well, and once I had this I figured that arbitrary-size integers were just as easy as large integers. Arbitrary floating-point precision was the logical next step. Also, since the large integer arithmetic was there anyway it seemed only fair to give the user direct access to it, which in turn made it practical to support fractions as
well as floats. All these features inspired me to look around for other data types that might be worth having.

Around this time, my friend Rick Koshi showed me his nifty new HP-28 calculator. It allowed the user to manipulate formulas as well as numerical quantities, and it could also operate on matrices. I decided that these would be good for Calc to have, too. And once things had gone this far, I figured I might as well take a look at serious algebra systems for further ideas.

... (and on and on and on) ...

Final thanks go to Richard Stallman, without whose fine implementations of the Emacs editor, language, and environment, Calc would have been finished in two weeks."

If you look at its feature set, it is amazing how much can be done with it. It has nifty features like evaluating formulae inline in any buffer, and replacing the expression with the result. Expanding things to their LaTeX representation, etc.

I spent a lot of time trying to learn it. I use it for simple calculations, but ultimately decided it is not worth my time to go much further. That same effort would be better spent learning Sage, with a lot less cognitive load. And there is decent integration between Sage and Emacs.
If you can win, why set that precedent? The negative result for SCO is very useful to the rest of society.

Canada also uses a space as a thousands separator, while English Canada uses a decimal point and French Canada uses a decimal comma. The use of a space as a thousands separator is explicitly to reduce confusion and ambiguity.
I think because you can't be anywhere else on the Internet anymore. It's like the system's pressure relief valve. A blaring steam whistle that's only getting worse and worse the more the Internet squeezes elsewhere.
A system that crosses its fingers and hopes "people will do the right thing" will always fail. These systems are games that will be played. If you can make more money by making one of these dangerous moves, someone will do it. And if there aren't laws against it, someone will always do it even if the established players won't. (not to say laws perfectly prevent all crime, but the rate is much higher without them)

Just look at crypto, speedrunning the history of finance and rediscovering all the fraud you can commit when there are no regulations, and at massive scales affecting millions of people. Just because established banks learned their lessons hasn't meant new players would, so a world without regulation will continuously experience these tragedies.

Almost always, when I tell a manager the truth about what I see, he also answers me with some part of the truth about the company. But you have to be careful with this method, almost any manager is afraid that after realizing the truth, you still have to reconfigure yourself or do something about the unwitting witness.

VPNs use the perimeter-based security model, which has been declared faulty by NIST.

https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/sites/default/files/2022-12/zta-n...

Line 259:

"It is no longer feasible to simply enforce access controls at the perimeter of the enterprise environment and assume that all subjects (e.g., end users, applications, and other non-human entities that request information from resources) within it can be trusted."

A VPN has security at the gate, aka, it keeps people out of the network perimeter. The assumption is that if someone gets within the perimeter, they passed most checks and can be trusted. Or, if something is already within the perimeter, that entity is to be trusted.

Insider threats are very real. Negligent/malicious employees cause damages. BYOD stands for both Device and Disaster. Supply chain attacks work through ways that the perimeter cannot defend against, and that is why the National Institute of Standards and Technology calls for a shift away from the perimeter-based security.
One of the biggest points of railway workers in the recent fight over contracts was safety concerns largely due to overwork and understaffing. According to both the government and the railway industry, the number of workers threating labor action over this was large enough to bring down rail transport in the US.

Perhaps they could have done a better job supporting their argument, but the general claim that railway workers generally believe safety standards are inadequate seems solid to me.

While I think a lot of these efforts are over-zealous, so is the response overblown. Take one example, the term felon. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors apparently recommended using the term "justice-involved person" instead. In response, the author writes:

"When the San Francisco Board of Supervisors replaces felon with justice-involved person, it is making an ideological claim—that there is something illegitimate about laws, courts, and prisons."

Huh? That's a huge leap. I think it's a lot more likely that the intent was simply to separate the person's state (having been convicted of a crime) from their identity as a human being. Labels like "felon" imply an essential, unchanging quality rather than a transitory state. Lots of people convicted of felonies later go on to live exemplary lives. I agree with the idea of not painting them all with the same brush. There are probably better substitutes than "justice-involved person", granted. But saying that term illegitimizes the court system is hyperbolic.
None of the people involved with this law are elected. Even once it reaches the so-called Parliament, the people there don't have any real power.

The checkpoint for the 7B parameter model is 13.5GB, so maybe? Larger models are multiple chunks at 13.6GB each or 16.3GB each. I am hoping I will be able to run on my 16GB Vram but I don't know how much overhead is needed. Maybe people on reddit will do their tricks and squeeze the models in to smaller cards.

EDIT: There seems to be a lot of overhead. Here someone struggles to fit the 7B parameter model (13.5GB checkpoint) on a 24GB card:

The benefit of “in process” isn’t really clicking for me.

We had Pandas or similar if we wanted to load and transform some data in memory. SQL is nicer than Pandas APIs but not sure that’s a killer feature?

If we have a lot of data and multiple people working with it then it makes sense to centralise it in a database or warehouse where it’s then easy to access via SQL anyway.

We can query files on S3 with it and have the processing locally, but then we have network latency because compute and storage are further apart. There’s a cost benefit here because we don’t need to run a server which could be significant.

It’s nicely implemented but I’m not seeing a big gap that it fills?

As far as I know, it isn't. I have anxiety as part of the bipolar package. And every psychiatrist I've had says that increased blood pressure can trigger anxiety.

They can both feel like tightness in the chest and from what I was told, the brain isn't good at separating signals. So your body feeling anxious leads to your brain feeling anxious.
