Security isn't done at the individual gate in Terminal 4 (newest terminal). And actually security screening at the gate is a pain in the ass. Once you're screened you're stuck in a room with no bathrooms (you need to leave and get rescreened). And if your flight changes gates (happened to me), you have to get rescreened all over again.

It is helpful in the sense that bottlenecks don't happen earlier on, but I'm not sure it's that great of an approach.
Prior to smart phones, programming on phones was much more inaccessible due to hardware fragmentation. Mobile Apps are popular and APIs are available everywhere. Some deployed apps include implementations of BASIC, Python and other languages which you can use to develop right on the phone. The problem is, typing on a smart phone is terrible, and it's worse for programming. You need a keyboard and by then you might as well use a laptop.
My personal way to do this is to check on the web what the rate without any fee is (search engine “100/however much you need eur to isk“) and then I make a mental note of that number. I go around exchange places and ask how much isk they’d give me for 100 eur all included. Makes it easier to compare them with each other without having to figure out whatever commission and fee structure they came up with, and gives me an idea of how far they are from the interbank rate.

An even better solution is to get a card like TransferWise (revolut are exploitative assholes and I don’t recommend enabling this employee exploiter) that charges very very reasonable rates so that you don’t even need to exchange or can use an atm if cash is required.

The “Obfuscate” Programming Language
I am getting the feeling you are being disingenuous: a record is a record, a records that gets deleted after 24 hours was still a record. This is a truth based only on the meaning of the word "record". The chat application was not kept from preserving history, it was designed to actively delete history after 24 hours

If there is a court order to not delete history, then the application was designed to do the opposite, and if a technical detail meant the application could not be changed, then the only way to respect the order would have been to stop using the chat application. Instead, there was a decision to use it more ...
This is only a very small benefit to CentOS Stream. Most users would never report bugs but still suffered the loss of a LTS CentOS.
We are planning to add that in the near future! Stay tuned.
Because in eastern Europe it's probably more dangerous to eat rare meat due to more lax regulations.

There's a reason restaurants add an asterisk after meat dishes. There's risk involved in consuming rare foods. The risk is just very small in the US and Europe. Not so small in other countries.

The RedHat model doesn't even work for RedHat anymore. They killed CentOS for a reason. Too few companies were paying for it.

Of course not. Stop trying to trivialise privacy. Despite addresses being printed in a big book years ago, it was for regular people to look up other regular people.

The situation today is much more dire.

It’s also very much a reduction of what some of these technologies are capable of. For instance, I’ve used Netmaker somewhat extensively as a VPN solution, and I mostly agree with the sentiments that the original article expresses about Netmaker (young, unstable). However, that is not the most interesting use case that Netmaker offers at all. Rather, a much more interesting use case is something like having an easy and straightforward way for Kube pods in AWS and GCP spanning across multiple regions to talk to each other. Multi-cloud architectures are greatly simplified by these kinds of technologies, especially Netmaker, partly because of their abilities to punch through NATs.

Also, Netmaker is kernel level WireGuard which is much more performant. If you’re just using Tailscale to talk to clusters from your MacBook, for instance, userland WireGuard is probably going to be more than enough. When you need servers to talk to each other, though, you usually need the extra perf
You're partly right, but most companies have daily limits on meal expenses. Something like $20 for lunch and $40 for dinner. If I can help it, I'm not burning my daily limit on a disgusting overpriced sandwich!
It's interesting to look at some of the leaders on a long-game perspective.

I feel like Fidel Castro, for example, didn't really use the office as a vehicle for self-enrichment and seemed to bow out in a graceful attempt to preserve his long-term legacy.

It seems like Xi is on a similar vector-- his domestic credibility is largely due to rising global economic and political importance, and you don't really hear rumours of grand mansions and fleets of luxury vehicles on the state's tab. Maybe from that perspective, it's a "why change horses in mid-stream" scenario in the short-mid term at least.

When we talk about how flexible and adaptable free markets are, we also forget how inertia-prone they are-- too many private businesses will let their country's future rot because they want to milk dying business plans for one more calendar quarter. China's ability to direct economic activity gives them a way to break the stiction.
Well Kant (Chomsky, et al.) are probably right that we must have innate concepts -- esp. causation, geometry, linguistic primitives etc. in order to be able to perceive at all.

So in this sense a minimal set of a-priori concepts are required to be built-in, or else we couldn't learn anything at all.

You might say that this means we can separate the sensory-motor genesis of concepts from their content -- but I think this only applies to a-priori ones.

What i'm talking about is conceptualisations of our environment that provide its causal structure. One important aspect of that is how desires (via goals) change the world. Another is how the world itself works.

Both of these do require a body, or at least a solution to the problem of induction (ie., that P(A|B) is consistent with P(A|B->A), P(A|~(B->A_), P(A| B->Z, C->Z, Z->A), etc.)
Yes this article is promoting the "open core" model those companies follow, as opposed to the "pure" open source model Red Hat follows.
> The technique, however, is much more useful for the temperature control elements than the vacuum

The vacuum sealing (which doesn’t actually leave a vacuum, because its not done in a rigid container, so name aside, sous vide cooking is not, in any substantive sense, cooking under vacuum) is a technique in achieving temperature control, because it means the food is in direct contact with the bag which is in direct contact with the water bath, rather than there being air in the bag insulating the food from the water bath.

> The reverse sear method mimics the temperature control element of the technique, but is just done in an oven, so it’s very much not under a vacuum.

In an oven, the food is in direct contact with the thermal medium without a layer in between, but the thermal medium is air rather than water; air has a similar specific heat but much lower density than liquid water at constant pressure, so even if your heat control is as good as in a sous vide system (with most ovens, it is not) you still aren’t really getting the same effect. Reverse sear is a faster, hotter, less even method than sous vide, with the advantage (for steaks, and things where this is an advantage) of producing greater surface evaporation which provides a better sear.
The article says cooking in the dishwasher primarily happens in the drying stage, so it's not really cooking in water. It's closer to defrosting in a pot of water then throwing it in the oven.
That would be a goal towards democracy.

However their target is fascism, as they are implementing fascism in all the other states they are invading. Military of economically. That works pretty well for them, so why should they go for limiting their industrial/military/surveillance power system?
I'm really hoping that a project is picked up that removes the lock-in and centralized storage of the metadata providers. Having TMDB/TVDB/etc all have a feed of everyone's media content via ip is a privacy issue and potentially a legal issue if the MPAA/RIAA/Whatever target it.

Storing the metadata into something like IPFS+TOR would be amazing for privacy concerns.
Ytalk works without a server so even better.

While other researchers think of a bird’s color as a way for attracting mates or camouflage, Herkenhoff is studying how color affects flight efficiency.

“We’ve done experiments and determined that for our fixed-wing aircraft, applying certain color can change the flight efficiency. And the same is true for birds, we believe,” he said.

How color can change the physics of flight?
Catastrophic failure is pretty bad for efficiency. Over any serious time horizon, being maximally efficient means finding the optimal level of robustness, given the likelihoods and consequences of possible failures and the costs involved in preventing or mitigating them.
I’ve found it a real big win for dealing with other people.

It can redraft emails for tone,

It catches semantics errors in documents that slide right past the usual spelling and grammar checks,

It can do a half decent job documenting other people’s undocumented code saving me a pile of time getting to grips with poorly documented code for whatever reason I’m doing that.

It’s like having an assistant that’s not proactive. I can throw tasks I feel it can handle at it and it comes back with work I can double check or fix up obvious issues with, sometimes I’ll have to ask it to redo the work if it’s not right but it also accepts corrective feedback, even if you cut it off in the first couple of sentences because you’ve realised it completely misinterpreted something like the tone you asked for.

Overall I’m very impressed and looking forward to future improvement in similar technologies. I’m absolutely going to buy whatever stupid expensive computer is needed the moment it’s possible to run an equivalent model locally, if I had to buy a top of the line Mac Studio to get enough unified memory to run this, done, no question, the only issues I’ve got with it are I’m sending information to outside parties which limits what I choose to use it for to situations where it’s ok to send that information, and that despite paying for GPTPlus I’m subject to a rationing system that doesn’t best align with my usage. I use it infrequently at most once or twice a day for a short burst then not again for a while, meaning I have to worry about the “every three hours” response limits forcing me to spread my work out over the day to meet their availability demands, if it’s that bad I’d rather a message queue to be honest then I can just fire my messages off and get replies when they’re done, but their real time chat interface is more useful to me than paying per use on the API directly.

Hypotheses are "based" on data in the sense that via imagination we simulate ways the world might be, and then "data" is a clue to a contradiction.

Deep learning models are data: they are just associations between points.

Train a NN on data generated from an exponential function, and the model produced is not exponential.

Train a NN on the covid pandemic, and you will never obtain the SIR model.

AI is just associative statistical modelling. The model is the data.
Employees get a small chunk of the profits compared to the people who own the company and nothing on years the company doesn’t make a profit.

I don’t think this is a revolutionary idea, that’s how traders bonuses are paid, that’s how the variable part of CEO pay is calculated. Why not for employees too who frankly contribute the bulk of the work that generate said profits (and sometimes do so despite the managers and execs best efforts to lost the company money but get bonuses anyway)
Creating a consistent character for embedding in Stable Diffusion
I don't understand this idea of making an rdf - what value does the rdf provide? Is there a way to view a diff in terminal that makes it faster / more intuitive?

I think your logic stands when thinking about individuals or private organisations.

But when thinking about state actors they almost have unlimited money/resources thus even if adding a backdoor is a bit harder on open source having unlimited money/resources makes it irrelevant.

Where “unlimited” = to the size of the open source organisation that maintains a bit of software.

If it will run user-supplied binaries, then each user would need their own virtual machine.

At which point you may as well just fire up a small VM slap Apache on it (or whatever you prefer) and run your binary as a CGI program behind a page.

Or put another way, hosting a service like this would cost more than hosting a VM, which means an already tiny market just got smaller.

So, while I'm not aware of such a service, I predict it it exists it'll be more expensive than you are prepared to accept.

I get that using a Woordle solver is redundant, so this is an example,not an actual use case, but I'll say it anyway - if you want to share code like this then use JavaScript or set up a server and use PHP or whatever with your C code running on your server.
This is good news! And it makes sense. OpenAI stores swaths of personal information that it scrapes off websites and who knows where else from. The “right to be forgotten” applies: individuals for whom the GDPR applies (i.e. citizens of the European Union) can ask OpenAI to remove their personal information from the models. As the video points out, OpenAI may already be in breach with the GDPR by not asking individuals for consent when ingesting their personal information into training data sets.

Big fat lawsuits will be incoming and hopefully lead to banning non-compliant LLMs and hand out fines for their current breaches.

> No auth, no checks, just full access via the `security` command.

Indeed, that security command was definitely a misnomer.

However these days it's not as easy, you get a pop-up for every app that wants to access the keychain.

The bigger problem though is that Apple resorts to pop-ups way too much. Installing a new Mac with my work stuff I get 30 of them. This causes fatigue and totally fails to solve the problem.

In fact it does the exact same thing that Apple blamed Vista for in their Mac vs PC ad. In fact macOS is worse now than Vista ever was. https://youtu.be/VuqZ8AqmLPY
It’s not quite true that every attacker has been thwarted.

There have been a few cases where the pilot waited for the co-pilot to use the restroom, locked them out of the cockpit with the post-9/11 door, then intentionally crashed the plane.

All of these incidents were overseas. One was confirmed, and one or two more are suspected cases of pilot suicide.
I do some minor piloting myself and I don't think those things go unreported often. Maybe uncontrollable dirt airports -- yes, sure.

But in class Bravo, with hundreds of souls on board, when all transmissions are recorded and public, and multiple plane watchers listen to them in real time -- not a chance.

That's not the same thing at all.

a supermarket is a place you "go to" vs the airport terminal is a place where "you are."

If I am going to the supermarket, I have the luxury of time and I probably have the luxury of for example going 10 minutes further for a better deal.

When I am at the terminal, I am at the terminal. I can't go anywhere else. The product is either there or or it isn't

I've had the same folder system for nearly a decade, which is a while for me, as I am young. Four main folders which are:
-Activity: social planning, ideas, games, holiday stuff, etc. in respective subfolders.
-Education: gradeschool, higher education, certificates, trainings, religious notes, etc. also organized by topic/semester as applicable.
-Management: responsibilities, work, taxes, health, family, housing, and all other boring but needful things.
-Media: mostly pictures and videos, organized by year. Some other stuff like journal entries.
I use the same system in my email and really any program that allows compartmentalization. I also keep other folders empty, like downloads, so I never have to guess where a file could be.
RDF is just an easy way to put everything into a graph, since file systems are stored in a hierarchy. You can use neo4j or whichever graph database, it doesn't have to be rdf. From there you can compare hashes that are in one file system but not in another, and do querying for constraints like largest files, folders with the most files, most recent files, etc.

If your file system is slightly out of sync, try out meld for an easy way to diff.

Why author did not used geometric algebra?

The curl(u) operator, which confines vectors and vector fields to R^3, is an outer product of nabla with u [1, page 9] in geometric algebra. And as such it is defined for arbitrary number of dimensions, not just 2, 3 and 7.

Got one going back to 1994. Not quite executive, but Alex St John was a group managed at Microsoft (DirectX) in 1992-1997. https://web.archive.org/web/20091006022255/http://www.firing... :

FS: What was Microsoft's philosophy or attitude regarding games when you began?

Alex St John: Oh, it was completely nonexistent! During that time, their entire focus was on multimedia video, the primary mission of DirectX wasn't to benefit and push gaming, but simply to drive Apple and Quicktime into the ground.

https://www.theregister.com/1998/10/29/microsoft_paid_apple_...

"David Boies, attorney for the DoJ, noted that John Warden, for Microsoft, had omitted to quote part of a handwritten note by Fred Anderson, Apple's CFO, in which Anderson wrote that "the [QuickTime] patent dispute was resolved with cross-licence and significant payment to Apple." The payment was $150 million."

"Microsoft and Intel had been shocked to find that Apple's QuickTime product made digital video on Windows seem like continuous motion, and was far in advance of anything that either of them had, even in a planning stage. The speed was achieved by bypassing Windows' Graphics Display Interface and enabling the application to write directly to the video card. The result was a significant improvement over the choppy, 'slide-show' quality of Microsoft's own efforts. Apple's intention was to establish the driver as a standard for multimedia video imaging, so that Mac developers could sell their applications on the Windows and Mac platforms. Microsoft requested a free licence from Apple for QuickTime for Windows in June 1993, and was refused. In July 1993, the San Francisco Canyon Company entered into an agreement with Intel to deliver a program (codenamed Mario) that would enable Intel to accelerate Video for Windows' processing of video images. However, although Intel certainly knew that Canyon had developed key parts of the code for Apple, it did not specify that this must be undertaken in a clean room,"

"Intel gave this code to Microsoft as part of a joint development program called Display Control Interface."

"Canyon admitted that it had copied to Intel code developed for and assigned to Apple. In September 1994, Apple's software was distributed by Microsoft in its developer kits, and in Microsoft's Video for Windows version 1.1d."
