It's not for profit though. Presumably there are city services involved (fire, police, emergency), civil utilities (water and sewage perhaps, electricity), and state defense. You're paying to live in that environment created by the government around that parcel, not just on that parcel.
>Ok but the lack of underrepresented minorities in the field and the important role people like Gebru played in extending the political and status of minorities is ok to extinguish?

Yes it's okay to extinguish it if hiring underrepresented minorities means hiring bad actors like her who contribute nothing of value. Scientific truth is scientific truth; if you hire people for the color of their skin or their sexuality instead of their ability to produce truth, you slow the progress of science and make the world worse for everyone.
I am far from an expert, mostly parroting what I've heard from actual experts, but I think it gets back perhaps to a similar question of why doesn't ASML 'just' start a fabrication business since they already have the tools, and at cost no less?

The answer to that seemingly no brainer question is the exact same reason that TSMC have an edge over other fabs. There's a massive, incredible amount of complexity in the fabrication process, in particular doing it with economical yields - it's a completely separate business really.

In fact it might be the latter that's the least copyable part. For sure once competitors see that something is possible, some valuable information has been exposed, but doing that economically at scale is another matter entirely - and that's where there's a business to compete with. That can't simply be reverse-engineered or copied because the myriad details of the process are incredibly closely guarded IP!
> The thing that google/Apple have brought to the table is cloud backup of your private keys (yes, you should have lots of questions about how that is managed).

Absolutely. I keep my BitLocker keys in my Microsoft account because it's a simple solution that provides good enough security for me. If someone wants access to my data they have to get the key and my disk. I understand it and I'm satisfied with how it works.

With passkeys, having a cloud backup doesn't even make sense to me. If I'm using a YubiKey or a TPM, the private key can't be extracted to back it up, so what do they back up? Do I have to opt in to a weaker system to get cloud backups?

At the very least, I should be able to designate trusted parties (parents, siblings, kids) where at least one of them has to approve the recovery of a cloud backup. Microsoft, Google, etc. shouldn't be able to access it at all. I trust my family, not big tech.

So this thread is 5 days old at this point but for the record I still want to point out that whereas initially I was willing to play along and say, OK if those responsible for the launch define 'success' to mean 'clearing the launchpad' well than that was a 'success' alright. Even if it wasn't a success when you leave off the quotes.

But in the intervening days I read up quite a bit and found quite a spectrum of opinions. Turns out this launch made a loss of at least $300M (not to forget, of tax payer money) based on estimated costs of engines alone. Both the rocket and the launch pad suffered from design errors. The launch pad suffered heavy damage because it was apparently not built to withstand the forces present at launch. There's video footage of a parked car next to a palm tree at least a mile or so from the launch pad which both got peltered by debris and then engulfed in fast moving smoke clouds.

This is happening right in the middle of a nature reserve which none of those responsible have the slightest respect for.

But this is the state of affairs when you have a billionaire conman with a captive audience of fanboys, gullible media and those who are just hoping too hard for advancements in spaceflight.
What did he sign? And what are the relevant laws?

You have to be careful thinking you owe your employer everything they would wish to have. Disclosing the inner workings is extremely helpful to people trying to figure out where to work, and how their current employer compares to others. I got a job at Google X Robotics in 2017 in large part because the place was so secret and I always wanted to know what happened there. It was quite an interesting experience, but I do wonder how I would have felt if someone like me working there had written something like this before I made the decision.
Its just convenience. Its not worth it to lug them around and try to remember you have one.

I'd also agree with this sentiment.
> The time scale for new species adapted to a completely new climate is many millions of years, not a few thousands.

On what are you basing this statement? I would argue that entirely depends on the complexity of the species and the time per generation. Bacteria certainly can adapt to extremely different conditions within years, if not even quicker. And these "simple life forms" are arguably much more important for the ecosystem than more complex ones like mammals.

Well at this point there's only one higher court they could go to (if they'd even take up the case). Frankly the case law on this subject is pretty well established and the judges have just been following existing precedent.

Assume that I have no real reference point for what you're talking about. What sort of things, specifically, are you noticing?
Yes, I’ve noticed that a lot of companies implement “OAuth” differently. I’ve found the only way to reliably implement it is to read each company’s docs and also test their API. Once you implement their flow and signing (or not signing) method, it’s really not that complicated.

>This is an extremely valid point and I know many potential Mastodon users that have been turned off because of it. It would be like tying your identity to a specific subreddit.

I said this last time Mastodon was discussed here, and was downvoted to hell by fans of the platform.

The best part is a particular subreddit being able to ban you from the entire platform because they don't like what you do in another subreddit.

Thanks, but no thanks.
Not sure this is true. Breaking Bad, which blew up because of its availability on Netflix, seems like a decent counter-example.
Now this seems like a fair assessment I can agree with.

I do want to add that in my 30s I'm seeing my mental abilities diminish pretty rapidly, so I don't know how long I can keep doing this. I've also seen people switch to other careers as they get old because they can't handle it anymore. So it seems to go both ways.
One idea: PG&E has killed lots of California residents through neglect, not to mention all the damage caused by fires that were their responsibility. Someone ought to pay for that other than the tax payers, if only to make an example.
I don't know much about the gut microbiome, but it is pretty well established now that the ketones produced by fasting (or diet mimicking it like keto) have a powerful effect on the brain : as an alternative to glucose for fuelling neurone, and a signaling molecule to mitochondria for mitophagy (the cleaning up of the damaged ones) and mitogenesis. These processes can reactivate and repair group of neurones compromised by oxydative stress or insuline resistance and thus heal the mind.

See Chris Palmer book : "Brain Energy" or Bikman's : "What makes Us Sick" or Gundry the "Keto Code"... All saying the same thing although with different perspectives. Yes the Brain is just another organ and we're starting to discover ways to trigger self healing processes which can leverage and/or take over the common chemical oriented cures mimicking neurotransmitters...

It started 100 years ago at the Mayo clinic were they cured epileptic children with strict keto diet. Quit fascinating !

What I don't understand is why all of these complicated SSO technologies like OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML, LDAP, etc are integrated at the application layer at all. All these web applications should be using something like "Trusted Header SSO" [1], thus completely offloading authentication to the upstream reverse proxy (which does or should exist anyway) and then the whole problem vanishes at the level of the application. It's like the MxN problem that Language Server Protocol addresses, but here "M" is applications and "N" is authentication protocols. The fact that I have to hand over my administrator password to the grubby memory of random shoddy applications as they pass it over LDAP to authenticate me in my corporate "holy grail" SSO-everything environment is insane to me.

I don't see how that jives with the paper, given that at follow-up, almost half of the people were on a vegetarian diet.

It looks like she only has one paper on PubMed, where she is listed as "Independent Researcher." The paper makes no mentions of plants:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35873236/.

She does mention the SMILES trial, but that states the opposite:

https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291...

the available evidence from observational studies suggests that diets higher in plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains, and lean proteins, including fish, are associated with a reduced risk for depression

and

ModiMedDiet diet:

The primary focus was on increasing diet quality by supporting the consumption of the following 12 key food groups (recommended servings in brackets): whole grains (5–8 servings per day); vegetables (6 per day); fruit (3 per day), legumes (3–4 per week); low-fat and unsweetened dairy foods (2–3 per day); raw and unsalted nuts (1 per day); fish (at least 2 per week); lean red meats (3–4 per week) [32], chicken (2–3 per week); eggs (up to 6 per week); and olive oil (3 tablespoons per day), whilst reducing intake of ‘extras’ foods, such as sweets, refined cereals, fried food, fast-food, processed meats and sugary drinks (no more than 3 per week). Red or white wine consumption beyond 2 standard drinks per day and all other alcohol (e.g. spirits, beer) were included within the ‘extras’ food group. Individuals were advised to select red wine preferably and only drink with meals. The dietary composition of the ModiMedDiet was as follows: protein 18% of total energy (E); fat 40% of E; carbohydrates 37% of E; alcohol 2% of E; fibre/other 3% of E.

Note that we don't directly get energy from most fibers, so 3% energy does not mean 3% of the volume of food.

Getting rid of plant/fiber from your diet is probably a terrible idea, unless you have a specific reason to do so. That's because if you don't give your microbiota something to eat, then it will eat you (starting with your mucus).

A dietary fiber-deprived gut microbiota degrades the colonic mucus barrier and enhances pathogen susceptibility

Bifidobacteria or Fiber Protects against Diet-Induced Microbiota-Mediated Colonic Mucus Deterioration

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S193131281...

In people who have trouble digesting plants, they may have already lost the part of their microbiota which would digest the plants. So when re-introducing plants into your diet, you should do it gradually so that it doesn't overload your biota.
That's absurd. I don't pirate, I pay for content because the cost is pretty much negligible to me. I'm happy to reward authors for creating content I enjoy. But I agree with grandparent: copyright is immoral and it should be abolished for the benefit of humanity. We can share culture with the entire world at pretty much no cost at all, having copyright laws that put it out of reach of only the poorest for the exclusive benefit of a few rich is bullshit.

> I'm interested in hearing why you think that's the case, tho.

It's a good question, and in hindsight I can see why it wouldn't be obvious.

Basically: because the two are part of an equality gradient where one end is effectively an opportunity lottery with the worst odds and the other end is "sameness", and where a society draws the line (manifesting as parties with their positions, which of course means there can be more than one line to dice up the gradient a bit) depends on a whole host of factors. Culture, experiences, etc.

Your points above largely support the Gradient argument; it's easy to assume teal is blue, or perhaps green, or to convince some people blue is green (comically, some stoplights come to mind). I'm merely sharing my formula for how the line manifests.

I'm guessing we're on the same page and are debating a nuance. Lol
You are not wrong, but logic errors are a pervasive concept that applies to all code bases. Logic errors in the existing codebase, as you've demonstrated, can also cause issues. The pro-Rust argument here would be "letting the compiler handle memory safety for you frees up your attention to focus on those logic errors even more."

Time will tell!

You are getting downvoted because conventional wisdom is wrong. No one needs to eat plants (although many are nutritious). You can be very healthy eating eggs, fish, shellfish, meat, organ meats, and broth. Animals are made of the same things that we are, so they are very nutritious.
> horror/zombie series

I have never heard this said about Firefly. I consider the show to be more about human experimenting and creating super soldiers (River Tam) and that it just got cancelled before they could really get into it. I guess Serenity was more about conflicts with Reavers but I wouldn't exactly pin the Horror/Zombie label on the series because of that.
This seems like a pretty bad faith argument that illustrates exactly the point the parent comment was making. Firing Gebru for insubordination is not "extinguishing" anything, it's getting rid of an employee that was actively taking pot shots at the company in her paper and somehow equated getting fired with anti-minority bias. In practice, Google is already much more tolerant of activism than the average tech company and she was unable to play by the corporate rules.
All supplies a source of wage suppression pressure. It has zero to do with the savings from the fired worker.
I think you missed my point. Genentech, AFAIK, was not doing research on machine learning as in the principles of how machine learning works and how to make it better. They do biotech research which uses applied machine learning. You don't need a PhD in ML to apply things that are already known

I am already sharing Apple TV+ using Family Sharing and it's working out great.

There are Apple limits to how often you can change families, and potentially family members could buy apps with your account or use its storage, so you're incentivized to only share with people you trust and not random strangers.

Netflix needs something similar at no additional charge.
Stranger things too.
In the current US system, much of income is captured by rent and health insurance, regardless of where it comes from.

It's the circular dependencies.

GCC 4.8 or higher needs GCC 4.7 or higher to build - so do you come up with a way of bootstrapping GCC from itself without an existing C++ compiler (for example, Perl is self-hosting, but the bootstrap is done with 'miniperl' that can be built with C alone), or do you start with GCC 4.7 that you can bootstrap and go from there?

The glibc problem is more interesting because it's an indirect dependency. glibc needs python to build itself, but python needs glibc.

The point the article makes is that solving these problems is non-obvious and solutions come with tradeoffs.

This isn't how people seriously approach memory safety.

Memory safety is a critical starting point, because without it you can no longer trust the logic you wrote in your program to behave in any particular bounded way. Memory safety bugs undermine everything else.

Ahaha yeah it bugged the hell out of me too. Near as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with the Open5GS S1AP message, so filing a GitHub issue isn't the way forward. I did speak with Baicells about it, but their response was sorta... Complex. tl;dr I'm somehow the first one to find it, and they probably won't be fixing it.

If you set the rate limits to ~200Mbps you should be able to achieve max throughput on your 227.

I've similarly run Open5GS on a few cursed systems - shame the OpenStick doesn't support band 48 (though, mine won't detect a SIM card anyway...) - I've snagged a few old Verizon MiFi models that happen to have B48 support in the interim, or my iPhone 11 which makes a good UE.
>How can someone have these deep insights into Google's ML strategy and the evolution of the field and simultaneously think LSTMs were invented by Google in 2014?

I knew GraphQL would eventually come down to this, it was already apparent in the idea. Instead of replacement for REST services, GraphQL is really more like a way to expose a database schema from any relational database in a standard way.

Spot on. Culture is a taboo topic for Americans, although they're as influenced by it as it anyone else. The only kind of "culture" they can acknowledge (generalizing here but once I saw this, I couldn't unsee it) is one that is created with purpose, for a short term, like in software companies. Not the organic, multi-generation, undirected type.

I'm really baffled by how many people think a job is more than a job and there's some ownership over the employee's critical thinking capabilities during the job and after it ends.

While I agree the OP is "going for internet brownie points" (or probably a bit butthurt from being laid off from a certifiably top-5 cushiest job in the United States) the article doesn't include anything even remotely trade secret and is predominantly opinion. It's really totally fine to blog about how you feel about your employer. There are certainly risks, but a company has to pay extra if they actually don't want you to blog at all (or they have to be extremely litigious).

There's a strong precedent of employer-employee loyalty that has substantially been set due to pre-internet information disparities between the two. In the past year or so, there have been some pretty unprecedented layoffs (e.g. Google lays off thousands and then does billions of stock buybacks ...)... The employer-employee relationship needs to evolve.
I had a Fujitsu Loox laptop with a Carusoe processor when they came out. A friend picked it up for me in Japan. It was awesome because 1) it was physically very small but had a really nice display, 2) it had way above average battery life and 3) it had a built in DVD player in the ancient times when that was a very desirable feature. The downside was...it was really slow compared to 'equivalent' Intel offerings. It ended up being my travel laptop because it could fit comfortably on an airplane tray. It was fine for writing/email and great at watching movies, but it was never going to be my daily driver.
