If they start doing that, leakers will do the same - Take their leaked version, run it through ChatGPT, get something that's similar but not the same for the leak.

Post-truth is the era where nothing is attributable to a human because of AI interventions, and liability is shielded at every level because of it. It's insane.
Everything happening within a corporate network is tracked, so yeah unless the leaker was going through extraordinary lengths to cover their tracks it's only ever a question of how much effort you are willing to put in to find them.

So what should happen when the threat model changes? Just abandon all software, ossify it in a poor state, or something else?

You always to be advocating for ossification to avoid breaking apps which are no longer ok under an evolved threat model.

Finally, you didn’t actually answer the question I asked. It’s all very well and good to say how things should be, but people have to face the world as it actually is instead.
Why is it problematic?
Most of the tech podcasts I've listened to have had a very low information density because of:

* over-use of sound effects

* shouty people

* unfunny jokes (might get a chuckle in the pub, but that's not why I'm listening)

* saturated by advertising

Darknet Diaries gets the balance right. I'd love to find more which provide that kind of value.
This makes me think of this wonderful articlep[1] about Tolkien's concept of "the Machine."

because I definitely double check the provenance of the 30 dependencies that blow past my terminal when I apt install something

why would you? that's the package maintainers job.
each of these dependency also has a maintainer, so by definition all dependencies have a provenance that is as good as the package you are installing.

this is not npm where anyone can upload something and you have to check the provenance of each yourself

We are still flattening the curve.

What is happening right now is the byproduct of governments not wanting to face an economic crisis and a health crisis at the same time.

Now the health crisis is over (or better yet the panic around COVID has subsided) now we have to face the economic crisis that comes with closing down the world for 2 years.

We have only just pulled that forward. There is no free lunch.
1983 was when I got my first computer, a Timex/Sinclair 1000, followed up about a year later by a Commodore 64. Unlike many who had their first computing experiences then, I was already an adult, married and almost 30 years old. My experience and enthusiasm for small computers led directly to the IT career I started in 1989.

You can encrypt sessions to the TPM. To do that you need to securely know a public key for the TPM.

The protocol spoken to a TPM is like a micro-TLS. You get to encrypt, or not. You get to authenticate the TPM (like a server), or not. You get to do ephemeral-static key exchange (unlike TLS 1.3, which wants ephemeral-ephemeral key exchange). And you get to do PSK (password), and you get to do it in ways that are not subject to off-line dictionary attacks by eavesdroppers.

But you don't have to do encryption or authentication of the TPM, and the easiest thing to do is not to do either, which is what much software does. There's been this assumption that if it's on the motherboard, you can't mount active -or even just passive- attacks, but that is very much not true.

I really did not know what to read into the "TPM interdiction" comment in the context of bitwarden, but I've left comments elsewhere in this sub-thread.
It’s reasonable to not want your employees to share internal information. It’s perhaps less reasonable to put an entire company on blast because one person violated that expectation.
No, I'm saying electricity didn't "steal people's jobs" even taking into account roles that ceased to exist altogether, because it phased in slowly, created far more jobs than it took away and people whose roles were "replaced" by it simply adapted to different (usually better) jobs, and the absurd predictions of the time were all wrong not because of how they were phrased but because as a simple matter of fact electricity neither heralded a post-work utopia nor forced workers wages to stay at subsistence level.
"every single thread" : it's in the news the last few days. I'll continue to share what I know, and your idea of "weirdness" is your own hangup. We can take it up with dang if you think there's something wrong with it.

"having terminals in DCL" : I wasn't aware PLATO invented terminals.

"I don't give a shit about internet-history" : OK, that categorizes you.

There were lots of ideas, and PLATO had some. I never used the word "irrelevant." However, they are not the lost city of Atlantis or the panspermia idea that suddenly explains everything. They were there; they had some success; they could have had much more and thus wouldn't need to be rediscovered now.

This is what has made me hesitant to really invest deeply in Next.js. It's just too familiar where some open source project starts. Later it attempts to monetize. Some feature in open source makes it so new monetization thing (usually cloud functionality) isn't needed, so those feature(s) get downplayed, neglected, and eventually deprecated, often with self-fulfilled prophecy/declaration of "nobody is using those" (because they were engineered that way, but that inconvenient part is never mentioned and rarely acknowledged). It's one thing not to invest in unprofitable features (that's understandable for a for-profit company), but making them difficult or more obscure to use is often a part of this pattern.

I'm not saying Next.js is doing that with static export, but I'm not sure they aren't either. It fits the pattern too well. I'm still suspicious about how the Image implementation (which nearly every website needs) breaks `export` and the only solution is "roll your own image handler." I'm not sure if that fits into the understandable lack off investment or the intentional difficult/obscure.
My point is to relax instead. So a contrarian answer to the title question (ignoring the broader question): "none".

Though often my mind does not stop and does the work on its own or I'm more relaxed and later on can focus better.
Isn't this publicity good? I think whoever leaked that to press gave Facebook a favor. He could've twitted, "Fake news, we're not building a phone" and that's it.
They will be secured with 9B CHF in case the losses are bigger then some unknown number.
Fingerprints work great in modern Linux distros (I use them for sudo and sometimes unlocking my display), but the fingerprint hardware and the TPM don't seem to talk to each other. Windows Hello (and I presume TouchID) is set up to handle authentication and authorization together in one well-secured kernel blob with all kinds of TPM trickery to ensure security.

The Linux version of this process, at least as far as I could find so far, consists of identifying and authorizing the user alright, but the TPM's secret management seems to be handled by an entirely different system.

This means that brute-forcing or other attempts at access don't need to go through the biometric system on Linux whereas Windows Hello is more tightly protected against malware like that.

Dongles do work great! With WebAuthn/FIDO(2) we can hopefully soon start to let go of password managers completely. Passwords are useful but passwordless authentication is just better for most single factor authentication mechanisms in my opinion.
So because one set of chinese are able to make bunch of counterfeit casio watches way cheaper than another set of chinese can make apple watches, the first one are more productive because both make watches that show time? Maybe there is a reason why another watch or another nursing service or another tv (at another time) is more expensive? Maybe the reason is that in the more expensive case they produce more value i.e are more productive?

By the way, just started wondering why nobody is worried about the atrocious productivity development of CEOs over the last decades? Should shareholders maybe hire some consultants to advice the CEOs how they could make their work more efficiently that they could become cheaper?
Naturally I mean the latest version.

As for it being implemented, I was assuming that by now it already was, given that it is still being actively developed.

Why would I install a package from some 3rd party PPA? That is almost the same as leaving their installation intact.

It is a matter of trust. I trust my distribution vendor (no choice here really), but hardware vendors should just offer open-source drivers and apps and leave it at that. The app comes from the PPA already compiled, so who knows what it is doing.
I wonder what hardware can handle that bandwidth
The vast majority of artists don’t make a living selling the “generic art” that enthusiasts are so sure AI will disrupt (and if they do, certainly not individual pieces to hotels/coffee shops/etc, but bulk licensing through agencies)

Can you clarify? Are the “things you do but don’t really think about” good, like good habits that have become ingrained, or bad because they’ve become mindless rote that are often unnecessary action?

(“Force me to write code” suggests that we’re looking to think deeply about what we’re doing and trying to minimize unnecessary action, so the rote actions are bad.)
It doesn't. Even if you have ChatGPT Plus, the key you have only supports 3.5 unless you are explicitly given the gpt-4 key.

I can't help but thinking whenever I see Facebook about the change that we could see in the world if the platform were able to prioritize connection and social cohesion. Enabling people to see things from new perspectives and discuss things freely and openly.

There's so much power for good in the platform, which is being held back by the need to return a profit.
The sentiment is totally ok to think and feel. But it makes you look like an insecure loser to blast the entire directory with you latest grievance.

If you want to project power as a ceo you have the communication task delegated to someone who specializes in company communications and information security.
Yes, and last week the backstop was 30B CHF. So why did they increase that by more than 3x within days? Makes no sense other than UBS finally looked at the books and freaked out.
Honestly think this is quite common at the CEO level. I swear it's like a requirement, founders have to be a little bit deluded into thinking they're changing the world and not just... starting a business.

I think the C syntax was actually a compromise to simplify the grammar. Remember C dates back to the 60s, and computers had very little RAM and storage back then, so they had to be very clever in how they designed the language. The C function pointer syntax is the way it is because you can reuse the same grammatical rules for parsing types as you do expressions. Pointers are prefix and function calls are suffix.
This is a very personal take, but one of the things I have always attributed to the Baumol effect is the following.

My partner works in the (semi) healthcare. She loves it but her main stress factor (nemesis even) has been lousy management. And she has a point. The managers in her organization are people who would be fired after a few weeks in my organization. I work in IT and we pay our managers serious money. I am the last one to say they are perfect or more than marginally competent, but they get the job done.

What my partner ends up with are the managers that cannot get a job in the better paying segment. And that is very much to the detriment of our healthcare.

The Baumol effect is not as much about, say, musicians who decide against their calling to become engineer instead, but about the job roles that can switch markets easily. Among those, the real talent follows the money. And to be honest, I cannot blame them. It is just human nature. But that does not make it less of a problem.
This is probably because your body has atrophied fat burning metabolic pathways.

I would suggest to start with regular daily fasting. This means you eat within short window of time every day (max 4-6h) and the rest you get by with no calories. It takes about 2 weeks to a month for a person to adjust depending on your overall health, age and whether you are insulin resistant.

Once you get adjusted, you can try to restrict carbs a bit. Carbs are responsible for most of the hunger feeling. When I cut carbs my hunger ended completely. Cutting carbs (with restricted eating window) will force your body to adjust to functioning on your fat stores alone.

Please, be mindful none of this requires cutting calories. You can eat as much as you want, just keep your feeding to a short window every day and try restricting carbs and replace them mostly with fats. Ideally you would also want to pay attention to what kind of fats -- refined ones are usually the worst.

Hunger is your body signalling inability to get fuel for its critical processes. Given that most of us have hundreds of thousands of calories of fat (even if you look relatively lean), it is a bit preposterous idea that should be understood by your body having large stores of fuel but being unable to access them when it needs.

This might be because there is insulin present (any levels of insulin basically block your fat metabolism). Or it might be because you have never exercised your fat metabolism and now suddenly you require it to provide a lot of energy which it is not equipped to do.

This is solved by simply exercising it which means allowing your body to metabolise your stomach content and then waiting some more so that it has to reverse its processes to start metabolising fats. 16-18 hours is what is necessary to get there and that's why 4-6 hour eating window comes from -- so that you can train your fat metabolism a bit, every day.

With healthy fat metabolism you should be able to go on a prolonged fast and it should be enjoyable.
Facebook most certainly changed the world. The result was not good from my perspective. You can justify phrases like "social good" in a lot of different ways. Which is why you should always be skeptical of such claims.
Rolls Royce already makes the nuclear reactors for the UK's current fleet of nuclear submarine, and is developing the reactor for the new SSN-AUKUS subs that are currently in the design phase. They also market a modular reactor for civilian applications. Presumably these are all based on a common core design and the research grant is to adapt it for space applications.

I would go one step further - Meditations on Moloch is my favorite post on the internet, bar none. I first read it in 2014, and now I go back to it every now and then and I'm still awe-struck.

According to the paper, they used a streak camera. It also helps that they only collected 15ns long segments.

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

Check page 3 of the supplementary information available here:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-023-01095-5#Sec16

In figure S1, you can see a schematic view of the streak camera internals. Apparantely the incoming photons hit a screen and eject electrons from it which are accelerated towards a detector. By quickly changing the voltage perpendicular to the direction of flight of the electrons, they are deflected in different directions depending on when they arrived. That is each detected line ("streak"?) will show up on a different row of pixels on the detector.

Does that make sense?
If you need it in mp3 format specifically you might need to do some transcoding because some shows/platforms only provide m4a downloads. If you're just interested in the raw audio file you should be able to extract the download links from the rss feed. On the off chance that there isn't a raw rss link available (eg. there's only a link to apple podcasts page), there are guides that allow you to extract the raw rss link via api.

It's not too bad of an email. It probably could be done a lot better, but whatever.

It's a shitty, insensitive, email subject line though. Many people are going to see that and have a very negative reaction.
I’d like to see more effort into golfing down prompts in general before being shared. So many prompts are almost self-important in how verbose they are, like a school kid bullshitting an essay.

Watching so called techies use ChatGPT is like watching non tech people use Google.

Bear Stearns was a very different case. Instead of a run on deposits, their credit disappeared. Bear operated on a system of continuous credit. They would pick up the phone and call some other place and borrow. Everyone else collectively decided to just stop lending to them, quite suddenly. They had been writing down a lot of losses but when their guy went on CNBC in March 2008 to announce that his bank had plenty of liquidity, the next day literally nobody on the street would lend them anything. Then the Fed had to bail them out on Saturday. It was really a completely different type of thing.

Hey folks, I've been really enjoying this discussion and wanted to chime in with some thoughts on the nature of personal knowledge bases. I've been dabbling in a side project that tries to address some of the issues mentioned here, mainly focusing on automation and the use of LLMs.

I believe one of the main challenges in building a personal knowledge base is achieving the right balance between automation and manual curation. While automation can conserve time, it's crucial not to lose the personal touch that makes these knowledge bases meaningful and relevant to us as individuals. My approach aims to capture your readings as you browse the web. Though this is a simple approach, it focuses solely on your personal experience.

In my project, I've been experimenting with using LLMs to help with information retrieval. The idea is to enhance the search experience by leveraging AI to not only find relevant content but also to provide context, answer questions, and offer insights. I've found that integrating LLMs can add a whole new dimension to exploring our personal libraries.

I think it's essential for any knowledge management tool to be user-friendly and accessible, allowing people to focus on the content rather than getting bogged down by the tool itself.

Anyway, just wanted to share some thoughts and ideas I've been playing with in my project. if you are interested. Please check out my project here. https://github.com/memex-life/memex

I'm not sure if fTPMs have endorsement key certificates. I should know, but mostly I work with dTPMs and vTPMs. Not that an fTPM not having an EK certificate is a big deal -- if you bootstrap a public key for it early enough in OS installation, you can just trust the fTPM.
