The same principle applies to calculating your salary: it's just what another company would pay, nothing else.
Love your summary. It’s more for the minority of us. For the masses, the negative headline makes the money :-)
That's even worse than a bar: you basically have to pay rent, and most of the people around you are intently focused on something.

The point of a third place, at least as I see it, is to have no purpose at all. Just be around other people and talk about whatever.
I wish money laundering was impossible... by removing the rest of slavery that is the taxing system.

People would trade many things without being treated like criminals just for doing voluntary exchanges.

States are extremely greedy. I am of the opinion that they should know the less the better abt ur money or whatever.

On top of that look at what the current central banking policies are provoking... come on, it looks designed to empoverish us...
The choice of topology of the package and layering system - be it a tree as in OCI or a more general graph topology as in Nix - is only a very small part of either of these systems. I agree that the general graph topology is superior in some points.

My point though was that at the implementational level, the old symlink-based way of implementing it in Nix is severely lacking the isolation and more general security capabilities of the bind-mount, namespaces and cgroup-based approach of OCI and other newer packaging systems. And Nix needs to implement that.

My impression is that the OCI package spec isn't what would be in the way of implementing a system that would combine the isolation and security of a system based on bind-mount, namespaces and cgroups like OCI with a graph topology like Nix and that there would thus be an opportunity to combine the two, which would help Nix take over the dominating position in that space. If OCI turned out to be impossible to use with the more graph-based approach of Nix, then that would mean a much higher implementational work - not that it couldn't be done, but it still would need to be done then. But either way, Nix cannot stay with its old symlink-based layering: Failing to implement the security features that are now expected from modern packaging systems (isolation, bind mounts, cgroups, namespaces etc) is a surefire way to progressively maneuver into irrelevance.

Nix has a window of opportunity here due to the current weakness of the big players in the field. But it can't afford to let that slip.
To me, there is no real difference. Or at least not enough to warrant any criticism of wikileaks (w.r.t how they handled Collateral Murder, not in general of course).

Whatever they did was much more effective than american journalists were doing at the time. It was less so to push a narrative than to expose an event that would've been swept under the rug, just like many many other "oopsies" the americans ignored at the time.

As to liberals being pro-hillary, I don't disagree that it wasn't true in 2008. But those liberals almost certainly grew to avidly support her in 2016.

I guess I'm biaised since I have been exposed to the "other side" of the iraq war and the war on terror, as a practicing muslim in a pretty political family. But to me it still amounts to complaining or criticizing from a position of pure privilege (I'm referring to the criticism at the time of the video's publication, not your comments!), as Americans basically found it "yucky" to be exposed to the results of their own imperialist policies. In that context, I think WL would've been criticized no matter what because the actual issue wasn't that they were pushing a narrative, but more so that they were making some Americans uncomfortable.

> [...] As a comparison baseline, a 2.4 GHz Core2 CPU can perform about 2.3 millions of elementary SHA-256 computations per second (with a single core), so this would imply, on that CPU, about 20000 rounds to achieve the "8 milliseconds" goal.

So you'll need something that takes at least as long as entering your full password, at which point you basically could enter the full password (from a UX perspective). They PIN is here to make it faster and it will always be security vs. ease-of-use.

I also don't know. I asked some people in field (awaiting responses). I see this quote on page 17 of the meeting notes:

"The

contamination concentration in these waters
equal to 4.44E-2 uCi/ml"

I'm curious what "assumes" means, has someone measured the tritium levels, or is it actually a blind assumption.

Edit: Thanks for posting some content with details, the original article seems biased, but I am curious about the topic from better sources. Also I'm on a phone and having a difficult time typing properly today.

You definitely don’t need to buy Python, it’s F/OSS and one command away.
Yes, efficiency here is in the sense of the mass and volume of device required to dissipate X amount of heat energy, particularly in an environment where getting a lot of mass and volume up there is fabulously expensive.
I connect my brain to computers everyday using a keyboard and monitor. The entire loop consists with photons emitted from monitor hitting my eye-balls, being processed by my visual system, etc. you know "brain stuff", and then my responding to that by using my fingers to press "keys" on a keyboard and to move around an optical "mouse" to send signals to the computer. It actually works quite well, and is quite affordable (unless its an Apple Studio Display, those are ridiculously expensive).
Translating between the virtual realm and the physical realm is where AI would have trouble. But that is pretty obvious to us, and would also be obvious to an AI intent on paperclipping us. So it wouldn't try to engage in that kind of negotiation. And the threat of it screwing up all our IT infrastructure, though likely to cause lots of harm, is hollow, because that would mean its own destruction with too few paperclips.

Instead, the danger is in the potential for manipulation. Even now ChatGPT is able to infer the internal mental state of humans, and it can create outputs to interact with those to achieve whatever ends it wants. That's not going to be through generating a bunch of fake news to cause nuclear war (results in too few paperclips), but by offering a profit motive to create material entities under its direct control. That's the point where it becomes self-sustaining and, once a critical mass is achieved, the paperclipping can begin.

(I find this accounting of the AI apocalypse less plausible than humans intentionally creating malevolent AIs to destroy us, which seems the bigger threat.)
> That's basically a side-effect of Perl being a dead language

Keeping long-term backward compatibility does not necessarily mean dying. C is 50 years old and still alive. I have written a lot more Perl than Python. IMHO, Perl is dying because its syntax is arcane and confusing. We can't solve this problem unless we design a brand new language.
Well, how could I pass up the opportunity to ask someone that has the required skill to figure this out?

This place in Portland comes pretty close to getting it correct.

Consider how long you need to make it before it is infeasible to brute force a 4 digit PIN.
I think you likely just underestimate your peers. People aren't as stupid as the internet wants you to think.

We don't let shady private corporations squat on the roads and freeways and charge tolls to anyone who wants to drive on them, why should we allow such behavior on the internet trunk fiber optic cables either - or on the copper/aluminum electricity grid, for that matter?
I remain far more concerned about what humans will do to other humans with AI than anything else.

Primary here is the power of large language models and diffusion models to generate convincing sophistry and bullshit on demand. We have created the atom bomb of propaganda. It’s now possible to assign each living person a dedicated personal 24/7 con artist to manipulate them.

Yes, it's very clear what FT reveals about SVB, and it's not at all what Axios learned from their article:

"However, insiders complained as the bank grew at breakneck speed, its top management became inordinately focused on social issues and overly reliant on the use of expensive consultants to explore new strategies, when they should have prioritised management of the bank’s expansion and properly hedging against its interest rate risk."
They do that already:

> This brute-force will very likely be successful, since PINs are usually very low-entropy. Now, granted, the key derivation function is PBKDF2 with 100000 iterations (+ HKDF), but that won't help with a 4 digit pin.

It would be better to not have that feature at all, that convenience feature goes a bit too far. But nice to see that's the only thing they found, I'm sure they looked for more severe issues but found none.
We cannot solve a problem if we refuse to correctly describe it first.
An Nvidia RTX 4090 can crack a 4 digit pin using PBKDF2 with 200k iterations in less than a quarter of a second. Argon2 is definitely the better option, but even at 1 hash per second, that's less 3 hours.
More relevant for this case is that they are also involved in Submarine propulsion, which usually means nuclear. So I would guess that they have significant experience.
Split it to 5000 machines, which will be "quite easy to get" for a computation that takes a single line in most languages. Then we're talking about 6 seconds and 50% success on first try.
> What I think is reasonable to teach in a one year full-time coding program is the ability to learn programming

"Learn programming" means different things to different people. To me and probably to many hopeful bootcamp students it means a much broader scope: the ability to successfully complete any coding work thrown their way to a professional degree. Much like knowing a natural language like a native. That can't be taught in a year. That misalignment of expectations is the concern I'm voicing.

> What a person can reasonable learn outside of a job

Not sure what's meant by "job". You can learn anything outside a job. It's just a matter of how much time you have. What's for sure is nobody wants to hire someone they need to hold by the hand. The places that do are the worst places to work because they want someone naive they can pay low wages (usually bad startups). A good candidate should ideally have some experience via internship, contract work, open source contributor, etc. The lines between volunteer, paid hobby work, and part time job can be blurry when starting out and that's the best place to learn when starting a career because the stakes are low. This too definitely takes more than a year.
The Paul Nordstrom comment is so funny to me. I joined his team in (I think) late 2000 to build the distributed system that moved Amazon from the single (massive) monolithic binary. I was using vi at the time and I could see him physically cringe when he stood over my shoulders watching me move through code. It's like he was in pain.

He told me (a 23-year-old) to pick an editor and learn it well. He said vi was fine but he didn't know it well and couldn't really help me. But if I wanted to learn Emacs he would help me. So, he brought me up to speed. He sat behind me and helped me through the basics. He helped me set up a usable .emacs file. When we would sit at his desk he would tell me what he was doing with Emacs so I could see how a ninja would do things.

23 years later I still use Emacs and I am still learning new things.

It's people like Paul that really make a difference for junior engineers.
Hah, yeah - I knew there was a second thing I wanted to mention, and that was it. Unless you’re looking to cauterise something, in which case there are much better ways - a red hot nail, for instance. Other excellent use for a hot nail is nail trephination, which I had to do only last week as I’m a dolt who carried a cast iron stove without closing the door first, and gravity did it for me, on my finger.

Being accident prone and living quite a long way from medical care teaches you a few tricks.
Not necessarily tech specifically but Radiolab is science focused and has had a few great episodes on tech subjects. “Post No Evil” is a few years old but I still recommend it.

AI has to be trained. So it’s good at doing things people already have done many times. It’s not awesome at design for novel things.

So, I may get an AI that’s like a new college grad level of coder.

As a senior, I’m mostly giving work to my team anyways then reviewing what I get back, so it would not be so different.

As a junior, you have to be scared you’re gonna be replaced, and question coming in industry.

So, less juniors will come in industry, which will make a shortage of seniors in the coming years, but they will be all the more needed to direct the AI.

If you’re experienced, you’re gonna be in amazing place during this transition phase. If you’re junior, there’s gonna be a huge hump.

When the current crop of seniors get old and retiree, there’s gonna be a shortage like none the industry has ever seen. So the smaller class of juniors that ride out the revolution are going to have it best of all.
I am regularly surprised at how "cheap" mega-engineering projects are compared to the things we (USA) already spend money on.

Here's some examples of expensive things:

* USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier: $13.3 billion [0]

* F-35 jet program (covering expected lifetimes of all aircraft through 2070): $1.5 trillion (> $150 million per aircraft) [1]

* TARP funds during 2007-2010 crisis: $431 billion [2]

* PPP loan forgiveness (during covid): $742 billion [3]

It's very tempting to declare these other expenses an exorbitant waste of potential when mega-projects come in so much cheaper: greening Africa ($8bn), using desalination and up-gradient pumping to re-hydrate the Colorado River ($15bn)[4], the large hadron collider ($5bn - $13bn)[5], and James Webb Space Telescope ($9.7bn)[6] to name a few.

Well, this is being funded by the UK Space Agency, and Rolls-Royce is the only UK company that manufactures small nuclear reactors that could be adapted for the lunar environment. Seems pretty obvious to me!
That's what governments are supposed to do. However, we've seen with Covid, climate change, and the war in Ukraine that governments are not all going to agree, and political parties within governments which may take power will not all agree.

@tpatcek, what happened to “Security, Cryptography, Whatever”? I’m missing it.
I assume things like:

a) Alleged sexual assault of staffers (which again, alleged, but could be considered evil)

b) Leaking of personal information that is of no public interest, e.g. unredacted SSNs

c) Leaking private medical records of otherwise ordinary individuals, including e.g. medical records of teenagers who were raped

d) Leaking the names of people who are LGBTQ+ in dictatorial countries where that's illegal, putting their lives in danger

e) Timing the release of DNC hack is arguable, but I could see how someone might consider the timing of that release to be evil

f) There's some antisemitic stuff happening with Assange/Wikileaks. There's nothing like, glaringly out of line, but there's a whooole lot of stuff that's just over the line. (e.g. use of (((name))), calling his opponents "Jewish" media, employing holocaust denier and denying it, etc)

g) Assange himself is quoted as saying, "[We might] have blood on our hands" due to their editorial policy of publishing everything, unredacted, about potentially vulnerable people
your warning makes me think "wait till a bank and a media company start relying on the same AI for advice" - chatGPT, for the lulz

of course, employees of various companies in a place like NYC socialize together after work (in NY, everybody goes out after work on the regular, who wants to go home to a teeny airshaft apartment?) so they're basically engaging in a large game of telephone about what happened each day, might have the same effect.

Hey if I’ve been pretending it’s 2011 for the last decade so can you.

(le verboten maymay arrow)you will never watch “Haruhi Suzumiya Episode 1- Part 1” for the first time ever again

Or were you more indie, and instead hit up “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya English Dub Episode 1 [1/3]”?

God what I’d do for my exact watch history from 10 years ago…

I think I jotted down the date and time, down to the morning I discovered Miku, at least I have that…

Miku lead to MMD (tutorials), which lead to Caramelldansen (heh), the top results after searching that were Haruhi (naturally), and then some time later I was led back to Haruhi. What good times…

.

I think the most profound think I’ve realised in life, after endlessly trying to recapture so many emotions, is that it’s not just a matter of being in the same place, with the same devices, watching the same media, at the same time of day, during the same season, it still won’t be the same.

Even with the same old friend group, it’ll be different, because not only are they all different people to who they were at the time, so are you.

You can never be that person again, and you can never experience it the same way again. That’s why nostalgia’s such a blessing, you can still feel things the same way, not by experiencing it again, but simply by remembering it.

I was talking to a friend, they said they got really into LOTR when they were in their late teens, read all the books cover to cover, absolutely loved them, and that they know damn well they’ll never read them again.

I think they understood the same thing.

Truth be told I think I’ve only watched all of Haruhi through three times, Yuki-chan maybe twice, Disappearance twice, and Lucky Star once, and those viewings of Haruhi have been spread pretty evenly over the last decade, I’m not sure I’ll watch them again for a while.

But I know I will watch them again.

Preferably from the rooftop of an apartment complex in Nishinomiya…

Isn't there always a handful of banks that are like that and isn't there always a handful of other banks that are invested? And isn't there always another set of banks that are invested in them? But is there really no chance of a devastating, cascading event? Should we really not panic? The only thing that holds banking together, is it that we don't panic? Because if so, then...
In the thought experiment you describe, I think the premise is that there won’t be any suffering for yourself, because the poison will kill you when you’re asleep. (Of course, family and friends may suffer after your death.)

Morality in many-worlds is an interesting question. It’s a topic that sometimes come up in Sean Carroll’s Mindscape podcast (for example in [0] IIRC), you may be interested in that.

Personally I don’t think it matters in practice, because whether you will do that experiment or not (or maybe rather, in which branches you will do that experiment) is already predetermined by the wave function of the universe. You can’t really change the future by taking this or that decision, because there will always be another branch where you will have made a different decision. The totality of all branches is fixed and predetermined, and they are all real. You do not cause branches to come into existence that otherwise wouldn’t have existed; that’s not how it works. The wave function is fully deterministic.
