I guess there is a lot of context missing for me, as I'm not super well-read when it comes to the interdealings of US government agencies.

Could you maybe give a short summary of the reasons for the restriction of information sharing between the FBI and CIA?
At that point it's just an argument about "what is a service"? But people typically find that using the database as an API ends up with the services so coupled that they might as well be one even if they technically run as different binaries.
Is it even possible to direct that much energy is a specific direction?
Only long term money is in services. And vendor lock-in looks good to executives.

To make money you need to keep selling devices and that is hard. Having someone first pay for devices and then monthly fee is much more profitable. This model applies to many industries.

I find it easier to follow tasks if I can scroll up a bit to the previous day and see if any tasks are being left undone for a couple days. I can just drop that task if I realize it's not important, but having it right there in front of me is very useful I've found.
I have less trusted services all listening on my Tailscale network. Network ACLs can then ensure they can't talk to each other and the only thing that can talk to them is the reverse proxy.
Ironically? Because back in the day we (the US) were terrified that the CIA or the FBI, given too much liberty of information sharing, could mutate into a USSR-esque KGB, keeping an eye on foreign powers but also scanning for domestic political dissidence and connecting the dots between exterior and interior threats. It was seen as a hallmark of a police state to have citizens under the same level of scrutiny as potential foreign threats.

9/11 changed a lot about how Americans perceive risk factors. The CIA, FBI, and DHS are still separate orgs, but there are now mechanisms by which they share information and the walls between domestic and foreign spying are a lot thinner.
I'm confused how courts will deal with this in the future. We are just entering the age of deep fake voices, convincing ones at least. And there are bound to be plenty of deep fakes that sound like the real person but aren't.

Are we now going to be held liable for deepfakes we didn't make?

I'm surprised people aren't using this more for divorces and what not. Create a deepfake of your wife and then say "Here's proof my wife was cheating"
Calling it a shift is not right either. It's not the same electron that leaves one side and makes it way to the other. Electrons injected on one side and removed on the other.

CIA is a surveillance organization with no significant restrictions on what they do outside the US, including on US citizens. FBI is an internal law enforcement agency (ostensibly) limited by american civil protections and due process.

If you take the organizations at face value by stated mission, it makes sense that the CIA would have a tremendous amount of information on US citizens that would be proscribed for the FBI. Allowing shared access is just asking for parallel construction and secret courts and shit.

Given that diesel is often considered "more polluting" you can probably make it work out given a bunch of assumptions that may or may not apply. Trucks are the primary cause of road wear, for example.
Maybe we could do a blind test of the courts, sending them real and fake videos, and check which percentage of the videos are they really able to verify.
I think the problem is that it is massively expensive compared to asking car drivers to stop for 15 minutes every 200 miles.

We use PDFlib, but we started using it a long time ago when there wasn't a lot of good open source options for building pdfs. PDFlib isn't open source or free. So far PDFlib has worked well and not been so expensive that we've needed to look for anything else.

Well I would start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-subject_rule

From there (since I am in the US) I would look at the decades of jurisprudence at the state level where most states have already adopted a Single Subject rule for their legislature's and have not seemed to gotten bogged down by it. it is not a new concept.

here is a pretty good overview from the MN legislature:

https://www.house.mn.gov/hrd/pubs/ss/sssubtitle.pdf

Then I could look to the Proposed law in Congress (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/872/...) which addresses your budget concern by adding "An appropriations bill shall not contain any general legislation or change of existing law provision, " meaning a budget is about a budget not about passing new laws or changing laws / regulations.

That is just a start of where one could go for this topic
Wouldn't the actual power be with the courts who would be the people convicting anyone accused of a crime by either FBI or CIA?
> Shared data structures? Common library? Services have an API. If you are sharing data structures and a common "core" library across services, yes, you are officially doing it wrong.

Maybe I've been doing this wrong all my life then.

Imagine I want to fetch user data by id from Galactus, the user data service. I know what shape of data I want from it, and Galactus knows what shape of data it provides. Should both my service and Galactus have full, individual copies of this data structure? Alternatively, if Galactus has a published schema that I refer to, isn't that a shared data structure?

By extracting the user data shape to a common repository (library, header, schema, whatever), not only we deduplicate code, but we also centralize documentation. Maybe the `address` field is cached and frequently outdated, and someone from Galactus noted this down along with where to find the golden source.

Once you factor in other sources of redundancies (username regex, recommended logging, business-specific snippets), that naturally becomes a common library.

I get that it sacrifices some service independence, but is this piece of independence always so worth it, that common libraries are "officially doing it wrong"?

I don't think a single 'what is AGI' answer will satisfy everyone, someone will always have a complaint about something.

I personally recommend we make a bunch of different test or 'classifications' that can be measured. Then we test each AI system against these classifications. This isn't to define if its AGI or not, but it's capabilities. For example, if a human took some of these tests they could also fail because the human body/mind is not capable.

Just as an example, if we said "Flying is what birds do", then every plane would fail even though the capabilities of planes are far more useful to humans.

I see this as a much better framework than the nebulous goal of 'AGI' itself.

Not a doctor, but it could be auto-brewery syndrome [1]. In effect, your gut biome contains fermenting bacteria that ferment sugars and starches into alcohol. The alcohol might be causing depression, and switching to a diet that avoids fermentable stuff might cause anxiety due to alcohol withdrawal.

Again, not a doctor, not a diagnosis, but it might help give you a name that your doctor could look into.

My guess would the that the act of inserting or removing the drive from USB port would result in larger weight difference as the connector contact areas rub on each other. Depending on hardness of each side you could be either losing or gaining weight. This is excluding any possibly debris falling out or being stuck in the port.

Disclaimer, only a fun thought exercise, I know very little about these things.
> Wouldn't the weight ever so marginally depend on the record?

This raises an interesting point. It's very undesirable to have long sequences of all 0 or 1 in a digital stream that is being read subject to a lot of analog effects. You want the line to return to a known state. This is why simple serial communication protocol like RS-232 uses a mark bit, to synchronize the clock repeatedly to protect against drift.

It's possible -- and usually preferable -- to implement a digital coding in a way such that the average signal intensity is 50% and there are an approximately equal number of 0s and 1s physically speaking, with frequent crossings, regardless of the actual signal contents. Unsurprisingly, CDs do this on several levels, first permutating the stream into blocks with error correction, and then into a line coding that has regular transitions even if the stream is all 0/1. Though they're not guaranteed to literally have the exact same number of 0 and 1 bits across any content.

I think this is a great way to think about it. Hallucinations are the default and an LLM app is one that channels hallucinations rather than avoids them.
> if this was true wouldn't it imply that you could tell the difference between random and encrypted data?

Possibly.

You would have to create a dictionary with that meaning which would be more information that would add that theorized weight. This is a common problem in compression.
The one that comes to mind is PostgreSQL.

I agree that people underestimate the impact of the first two industrial revolutions while overestimating the impact of the third, if that was your point.

Your source is pre-covid. I did a cursory search into their Covid activities and found an expansive report based on an alleged whistleblower[1] and a narrower admission by the Secretary of State for Defense that they

> [use] publicly available data, including material shared on social media platforms, to assess UK disinformation trends. It is not to be involved in regulating, policing or even reporting opinion that it may or may not agree with.[2]

This is pretty damming, and makes me credit the whistleblower report more than I originally thought.

Obviously it is inappropriate for the Army to target anyone on the basis of their political opinion. I will point out, however, that Peter Hitchens is a loon. He's said that it's "simply not possible" the UK lockdown could have caused the subsequent fall in deaths because it's generally accepted that short-term mortality from Covid occurs 4 weeks after infection, and thus the reduction in mortality must have come from a reduction in infection before the start of the lockdown. [3] He claims his 4 week number is "pretty much accepted". This is false, he had one non-peer reviewed cite. [4]

Tangentially he also believes that the fall of the UK is imminent because of the permission of no-fault divorce. [5]

In the pre-9/11 era, one way of protecting domestic citizens against secret-police style spying was a literal hard firewall between the legally domestic FBI and legally international CIA.

Also, police agencies tend to be fiercely territorial about their jurisdiction and this rivalry was no exception.

Lying in court is not a crime. You need to be under oath to be able to commit perjury, e.g. by being a witness who is giving testimony which in turn will be used as evidence. Everyone else can lie as much as they want without fear of repercussions.
Yes it would, if that happened.

On the other hand, if consumers see that sawdust is one of the top four ingredients in the ingredients list, nobody's going to buy it.

So I don't know what your point is, because your hypothetical would never happen.

Whereas phasing olive slices out of salads is something that's happened. Or replacing fancy glossy plastic clamshell packaging with cheaper generic recyclable cardboard packaging when buying things online.
The release was just cut 9 hours ago, as shown on the releases part of the Github page (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/tag/v1.9.0). That then starts the jobs for the creation and deployment of the final binaries, and when that's done the Julialang.org website gets updated to state it's the release, and when that's done the blog post for the new release goes out. You can even follow the last step of the process here (https://github.com/JuliaLang/www.julialang.org/pull/1875), since it all occurs on the open source organization.
On a project I worked on, we implemented a "log out all devices" option and similar security features by building a simple deadline system on top of using JWTs.

Every user's data contained among other things a deadline timestamp, which was (re)set every time a security relevant data point was changed (password, 2FA, log out all devices, etc...)

When authenticating a user, services would check for both the JWTs validity (iat, nbf, exp), as well as the cached deadline (iat >= deadline) using a shared auth library. I'd be happy to learn more about the downsides but for as long as this was in place, it has worked really well.

I actually do agree with you that kanban is very flexible - and I have used plenty of additional swimlanes - for my original example we tried using "concepting" stage, multiple iterations, "mix" swimlanes for individual sound effects. These aren't "outcome" swimlanes, because I found that tracking an outcome becomes overly complex tracking subdependencies of the tasks of that outcome. At that point, Scrum becomes better at handling that complexity.

Which is why I always come back to "the best tool is the simplest that meets your need" - starting at Kanban is good, then you can add complexity. If that complexity starts to "outgrow" kanban (though it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges - it's not like scrum is just a more complex kanban, so I'm oversimplifying here) then you want to consider switching to another technique.

It's great that kanban has worked for all your projects and you haven't needed to use scrum!
Knowing this and being the person (or part of the team) to first implement a thing is the true thrill of programming. You, sometimes exclusively you, understand the weight and permanence of the minor decisions you make. This is why non-programmers often find programmers hard to understand, overly picky about minor details, strangely emotional about things they have a hard time verbalizing and so on.

I was uncertain about this as well, but wouldn't the electron-depletion in the substrate be (slowly) replaced from the ground?

In any case, the charge on the device would be negligible in any direction. It's a ridiculously small amount of charge when compared to the overall device, or even the substrate material of the flash memory cells.

Would be fun to do an experiment though. Maybe in 100 years we'll be able to do that.

Historically, CIA was supposed to be doing international intelligence gathering things while the FBI was more along the lines of the federal government's domestic crime investigation unit. CIA never really had to care about privacy rights because their targets were practically always foreign nationals not protected by the US Constitution. The FBI was almost exclusively operating domestically where Constitutional rights are practically always in effect.

> ... perhaps Developer workstation is the most tricky to get right. ...

I think the biggest 'risk' is there's a long tail of stuff a developer might want to do. The more niche some task is, the more likely it is that the program you're trying to use makes assumptions about things in Linux being where things in Linux usually are.

But. I think 'developer workstation' is the use case most likely to benefit from NixOS desktop use. -- For servers, I think 'running containers' is an almost ubiquitous way of deploying applications.
