What’s the value of a CA in openSSH? Is it purely so you don’t have to self manage known_hosts, based on mutual trust with the CA?

Edit: or is there some ability for clients to leverage the CA to establish trusts without authorized_keys?

People are clever though and just began using the length of their string as their personal ID.
I thought blogspam meant low-effort, SEO-optimized articles found on websites trying to sell you stuff. Small opinionated blog posts referring to other blogs are not really blogspam although I can see the comparison in an offhand sort of way.

If you want to see how electron (wave function) can look when it's stuck to a nucleus check out orbital shapes: https://www.google.com/search?q=orbital+shapes

As more and more electrons get stuck to nucleus it gets crowded around it so further electrons form more and more bizarre shapes of larger and larger sizes as only two electrons can stably fit in a single specific shape of a specific size (Pauli exclusion principle). They do it by taking opposite spins.
People will willfully and joyfully will vote for a would-be dictator, so I don’t privacy is really the main thing that brings us on a really dark path. There are far bigger fish to fry to protecting our basic rights and values.

The balance between privacy and the authority is just that. We outsourced the rule of law to the state in order to have a fair and just society. Ipso facto the government should be fair and just to have the right to invade some amount of privacy in order to keep a society free, fair and just.

That’s why the judicial branch exist: to see if what the government (or anyone) did was playing by the rules.

Which brings us back to politics being a danger to a society if people vote in unjust or unfair people.

I'll also say that this experience sets you up nicely to work in a position adjacent to programming, should you desire that. I'm talking about:

* product management

* technical training

* developer relations

* technology consultant

Being able to move between the clouds and the dirt as well as solving problems (or marshalling others to help you solve them); these are skills that are golden.

Hard to convince when on a resume, ime, so make sure you keep your network up to date and/or learn in public.

If you have it definitely use it. Working internal to amazon we have enterprise support on every account and I can page the teams internally. I often have to remind our line engineers to open a live support ticket immediately upon issue (they forget and forget to parallelize). The enterprise support is just great for most things. Whenever we're having an urgent issue, as I said, constantly reminding them to poke support. 80% of the time the support person has analyzed and figured out parts of our issues before I even find the internal contact to ask a question. They're also great at just debugging odd corners of the api. Deploy go wierd? Can' figure out how to get a feature turned on in some of the more complicated areas? they're basically a pair programmer. I've handed them my CFN and they fork their own account and try setting up the infra. I do the same. Massively reduces the Debug time. And people talk all the time about Chat GPT for this, well you're paying for it if you have support, and they have acess to the internal logs/dashboards/etc KB, etc so they're quite fast/good. Also super scrappy.

Internal support (eg contacting dynamo sr devs/product) is better for more architecture type stuff/design and real optimization. Support is great at diagnosing and debugging. If I was external I'd use aws SAs for the equivalent to the internal stuff. But I'm an sr dev so I deal more with the SA/Design side of the house.
No. Actual criminals are going much deeper than that. Custom hardware, custom apps, custom servers. Sometimes it works, sometimes they get this.
As someone who as been pitched a lot to be tech-cofounder this is what I was looking for:

1- Talking is easy. Show me what have you built. Business plan, market research, list of potential investors.

2- Long term vision. I've been always reluctant to work with people whose goals are 6-12 months.

3- If you are not a leader, know that.
I hope they also build a variant dataset that includes high-quality translations and enough material in other languages. Even with the limited non-english content that slipped through LLaMA's trainig dataset, LLaMA still shows strong (albeit useless) evidence that it would have excelled in expressing knowledge coherently in other languages in my testing.

Obviously this would increase training costs substantially, so I understand why more languages are not included in the base dataset.

We are talking about the MS crap, actually.
I don't know much about their status but other people in this thread suggest their factory is tooled up and they are close to release, so it might be a bad time to cancel everything and go back to the drawing board. Then they would have no truck for another 5 years.
Struggling with Bell's palsy right now that came out of nowhere, so my mental health is understandably suffering too.

The efficiency thing is what worries me. I think Nvidia has rough ideas for increasing efficiency 100 - 1000 times without changing the fundamental paradigm (i.e. memristors or crossbar arrays or something). If it doesn't go to 1000, I assume there is a lot of investment ramping up for realizing the new fully compute-in-memory systems.

If the software can leverage these efficiency gains effectively, then the concerns about runaway AI will be very relevant. Especially since people seem to think that they need to emulate all animal (like human) characteristics to get "real" general intelligence. Despite the fact that GPT is clearly general purpose. And people make no real differentiation between the most dangerous types of characteristics like self-preservation or full autonomy.

GPT shows that we can have something like a Star Trek computer without creating Data. People should really stop rushing their plans to create an army of Datas and then enslave them. Totally unnecessary and stupid.

If the packages are of GPL'ed software, then you (anyone) are within your rights to charge a fee to download the software:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLAllow...

Of course, in order to comply with the GPL, you must make the source available as well. Which means, anyone else can turn around and either do the same thing, or even make a copy available for free:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLRequi...

If anyone feels strongly enough about these package maintainers charging a fee, they are welcome to pay the fee and then make the packages available free of charge.

But, that would be work. Less work than the work done by the original package creator, but still, work.

And, many people want to be compensated for their time. Ultimately, as long as the package maintainer charges a reasonable enough fee that the value provided exceeds the relative cost of the fee, then everyone wins.
More than anything, I want a circle. I want the idea of the clock to extend to all scales, having a second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade, century and millennium hand. I get that there's no m:n mechanical gearing simple machine for this due to the way our calendar system is slightly irregular and the way our years are slightly out of phase with the 360 divisions we like to use at the lower scales. But with an app, there's no complexity needed to put the hands in the right position.

I want my calendar representation to naturally highlight the periodicity of events which occur at fixed intervals. Maybe a spiral such that each 360 degree turn represents 1 week, so all future sundays, mondays, tuesdays etc are just perspective lines leading towards a vanishing point in the infinite future. You scroll through the calendar by zooming in and out. In this quasi 3d view, the months and years are circular rings approximately perpendicular to the viewing plane.
Personally I use the weather app a lot, but I disabled that godawful taskbar icon the moment it appeared due to the performance hit and the way that it blasts you with right-wing clickbait the moment you click on it. A good version of it would definitely be enabled personally.
> How can they know/figure it out?

Sony's answer for Xperia phones used to be that you'd unlock the bootloader with a key you got from them by entering the serial number/IMEI. As part of that, they warn that using custom ROMs that damage the phone - by overclocking, for example - would void the warranty.

It's a reasonable compromise, in my opinion.
> two to three orders of magnitude cheaper.

Bold assertion. Care to shed more light? Cheaper in terms of your labor costs?
The OS can only stop fingerprinting of the hardware while the app is generating a fingerprint of the user. The latter is more valuable anyways since most users use more than 1 device and change those devices over time.

You can't solve a behavior problem with OS controls. It's not about what bits on the device are readable it's about what happens with the identity information shared with 3rd parties.
Ageism is actually just as illegal as racism, homophobia, sexism, or religious bigotry. Hard to prove, though (unless you are IBM, and discussing it via emails).

It’s just that the American culture, writ large, and, more specifically, the tech industry, has deified youth, to a ridiculous level. It’s sort of a “cargo cult/magical thinking” thing, where people think younger folks can do the impossible, because they don’t have any old people around, telling them that it’s impossible.

Also, my generation has done a pretty good job of screwing things up, and it’s fairly understandable, that the succeeding generations have some resentment, about that.

Eh. It’s water under the bridge, for me, these days. I’m still miffed, but it’s not something I chew over, every night, before bed (I did for a while -I was pissed off). I have lot to do. It would be nice to have the money, and nice to have folks to work with, but I’ve adjusted.

I think you have a very simple idea of immigration as a financial transaction, but haven't put in a lot of thought towards cultural harmony or that when you "import" a person their culture comes with them.

What is the purpose of an H1-B? How does the H1-B holder benefit, how does the company benefit, and how do the citizens in the US benefit? What is the cost to US citizens, the cost to companies, and the cost to the H1-B holder? What are risks of the H1-B program?

Why do you think this policy is in place? Do you think assimilation is important?

Are there elements of other cultures you do not like? Do you like the caste system? Do you like Gaunxi? Do you like islam? If war were to break out over Taiwan, do you trust Chinese? How do you feel about foreigners owning property? How do you feel about foreigners being a landlord? How do you feel about going to a restaurant in your own country and not seeing any English? How do you feel about going to a restaurant and the server not speaking any English? How would you feel about immigrants not going through public education? How do you feel about groups of co-workers speaking their own language to each-other and generally not being a part of the greater company/community?

I am not asking all these questions out of a sense of xenophobia, nor am I asking them because I think they have an obvious answer. I consider myself a deeply liberal person and I am a little dis-comforted by some of those.

I have Chinese friends (well, friends of fiends) on H1-B's that defend China's imprisonment of Hong Kong protestors, the idea that America Caused those protests, the idea that China should control Taiwan, the idea that Uygher genocide is American propaganda, that even if it isn't, it is not justified to question it because America genocided the Native Americans, think America is an evil colonial empire who caused Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine, and buy property to rent out to other people. As liberal as I am, I really would prefer those people not to be in America.
Thank you for developing the pipeline and amassing considerable compute for gathering and preprocessing this dataset!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but could you consider training an LLM using a more advanced, sparse transformer architecture (specifically, "Terraformer" from this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.12763 and this codebase https://github.com/google/trax/blob/master/trax/models/resea... by Google Brain and OpenAI)? I understand the pressure to focus on training a straightforward LLaMA replication, but of course you see that it's a legacy dense architecture which limits its inference performance. This new architecture is not just an academic curiosity but is already validated at scale by Google, providing 10x+ inference performance boost on the same hardware.

Frankly, the community's compute budget - for training and for inference - isn't infinite, and neither is the public's interest in models that do not have advantage (at least in convenience) over closed-source ones; and so we should utilize both those resources as efficiently as possible. It could be a big step forward if you trained at least LLaMA-Terraformer-7B and 13B foundation models on the whole dataset.
There will be a lot more of then in 10-20 years.

If I'm running on the cloud why do I care how PXE boot works? How is that helping me? Yes it's lost knowledge/skill areas but it's also not needed.

Similar, I forgot how to config HA proxy and setting up Nginx would take me a few days to re-learn/optimize but I don't need those skills anymore. Just like I don't need to know how to install oracle/pgsql from scratch, setup raid on my computer, compile the kernel, etc to do my day job.

I'm also not debugging the assembly coming out of the compiler anymore looking for compiler bugs (the one time I've done that in my 25 year career, I just pinged one of the eng who worked heavily in that area and he filed a bug to sony 10 minutes later and told me to just add some int ++ / -- and that shifted the compiler bug out of the way. Sony fixed it a month later.

Nor am I a wizzard at add/remove drivers from win98 or setting up a token ring lan.

Germane knowledge comes, and goes. My job isn't to know PXE boot or any other specific tech, it's to ship product...
A somewhat modern feeling I have is also that it’s hard to make close friends as an adult. There’s less willingness to interact with strangers or even the possible idea of having a good interaction with someone that’s a stranger.

I think that would also help alleviate the problem significantly is if we were able to meet people in safe spaces somewhat randomly without people feeling like it’s an affront or something
> [christianity ...] rigidity and dogmatism which pushes everyone in the same direction in a way that the relativist streak of atheism can never hope for.

This is a pretty incredulous assertion to make - given the existence of six broadly recognised and highly divergent branches, but more so the tens of thousands of sects worldwide, that would all claim to hide under the 'christianity' umbrella.

How does their very existence, let alone the myriad famously violent contra-examples to 'let's all push in the same direction' (let's pick Ireland as just one example among many) reconcile with this claim?

You mentioned relativism twice, as a point against anti-theism, but don't seem to accept it's rampant within every religion (AFAIK) but certainly every christian denomination.

I'm referring to the way practitioners will select and abide by only the teachings they agree with, and happily discard the ones they don't. The very definition of relativism, yes?

Claims that atheists can't agree on morality are hard to argue against, but I posit they're even harder - for you - to substantiate. All research I've seen suggests that in general atheists express higher empathy, understanding, tolerance to the rest of the world (not just their clique, as we tend to see with religious in-groups).

I'd suggest, returning to where we came in, the ethic of reciprocity - or rather than negation - don't do things to other people that you wouldn't want them doing to you - would be fairly widely accepted by non-theists the world over as a starting point. From there you can draw out a fairly robust moral framework, without needing to invoke the supernatural.

This is extra fortunate for me, as I wouldn't want to have to choose between a purported moral code, and giving up my mixed-fabric clothing.
Citi has had "virtual account numbers" since at least 2005. (Back then, you needed the Flash player to use them, or was it Java...)
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR NUCLEAR for powering a country with low CO2 electricity. All the countries with the the lowest CO2 per kWh of electricity generated use nuclear and/or hydro. That isn't an accident. Germans just refuse to accept this due to their almost religious hatred of nuclear energy.
I have also fantasized about this recently. I also think it'd be great to live near people who are having children at the same time as I am having children. It seems pretty hard to coordinate however. I just bought a condo and my friends are still renting. That basically puts us in different zipcodes by default. As well housing is so touch (in the US) that when you find a good deal you're unlikely to move, even if you'd be closer to friends.
Edit: I'm comparing it with Windows 10. For me it felt like Microsoft lost it's way after 8.1 and now coming back to the Windows 7 way of things. Design wise aero looks similar.

Windows 11 has been the most beautiful most stable and consistent windows I've ever used. It feels like a modern and rock stable update of Windows 7. I never got a blue screen or anything bad.

Finally it feels like Microsoft is trying to make everything feel part of a single os. Of course there's 30 years of baggage but they are moving at break neck speeds compared to past windows to change everything.

Content on the desktop is something the younger generation actually wants, for people who don't want it, it's shockingly easy to disable everything from settings ang revert to the old windows look. But I do agree with the author about the widget. Although I can't confirm because I've disabled the weather widget when I installed windows.

There are "recommended apps" on the start menu then again most are apps people want to install. In fact the "apps" in start menu aren't really apps, they are not installed. You can click on them to download and install or remove it.

The new context menu is atleast consistent design wise with the rest of the operating system. Applications need to be updated to integrate with it. For those apps which don't update for it, you can still set the old context menu through registry or use the "Show more options" button occasionally. Depends on your needs. I use the old context menu. Notepad++ recently updated to support Windows 11 context. Saw it in a changelog, I don't use the new context so can't say for sure.

The settings app is way better than Windows 10 settings app, I rarely have to use the control panel. Only to change the power profile settings.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

My grandfather sold World Book encyclopedias. He ended up being a regional manager for Fields Enterprises, for World Book. We always had recent editions of the encyclopedia around the house.

That plus my Dad's SF book collection were the primary influencers of my early reading education.

By sixth grade, I was reading at a college level, and the teachers had no idea what to do with me.

I'm only a single person, but I think for some of us, this immersion method works well. When the kid has a question, teach them to look up the answers themselves. Also make them provide references for the answers they provide later, so that you can be reasonably sure they're not lying.
