What would "additional confirmation" look like?

Are audio/video recordings I take with my phone going to be useless in a decade because deepfakes are virtually indistinguishable and there is no "additional confirmation"?
Layoffs are always bad but playing catch up with other chip makers requires a very specific set of skills and depending on who/what department(s) they laid off it may not necessarily affect the eventuality.

Their financial model is similar to a TV or newspaper.

Imagine you create a newspaper, you start out showing no ads, lots of people buy it, it is all good.

Then you raise money from investors to grow, and they start asking for more revenue. So you add one advertisement.

Then the investors want out, so you have to IPO...more ads. Then you have to keep the share price up because execs want options, and your HR consultant tells you that the "top" execs need to see a rising share price (as if you need a "top" exec to add more ads to a webpage)...more ads.

The ability to add more advertisements is limited by the space in the newspaper, but there is almost no marginal cost associated with adding more ads. So it looks like very clean growth, very strong economics.

This is basically how Google and Facebook work. Their revenue growth looks puzzling because they seem to achieve very consistent, very predictable revenue growth with no extra resources. The reason why is that they can add more ads to a page very easily, and can control their level of revenue growth so they can keep employees/investors happy (in that order). It is true that they have also achieved some pricing growth but that advantage has been capped (and is largely a function of their monopolistic position, i.e. Doubleclick allows Google to play both sides). Most of their growth has been increasing ads per page.

There is no way for them to function as public companies in this environment (again, I would say the situation with employees is actually taken more seriously than investors) without making their product worse. They won't stop before the product collapses.
Funnily enough, learning how to computer from Chromebooks and tablets have made modern kids incapable of understanding the spacial metaphor at all. Their navigation is entirely search-centric.
Dope! Can anyone help me with the following, as this has been 'floating' around in my head for nearly a decade ;

Wales (the animal) oft have barnacles on the leading edges of their flippers, which results in an eddy effect which increases efficiency/thrust.

Da Vinci was the earliest known documentor of eddy-based pumps and predicted the eddies in the ventricular systems of the hearts pumping of blood...

What I would like to model is a toroidal propeller with leading edge bumps ('barnacles') while also having the dimpling pattern of a golf ball to reduce drag... and I want to measure if this idea holds water.

I just dont know how to model this using this tool...

help?

You could take a picture of a picture or a recording of a recording and now it is validated.
Because the trick is to boil the frog slowly. Even the most dense simpleton understands that having no rights means having no rights.

But if you have some rights, starting next Tuesday, and the government keeps extending the start date, you have something to look up to.

Of course, it will be postponed forever.
As with anything complex there will be a lot of reasons. I think Saddams decision to sell oil denominated in Euros was probably influential. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/feb/16/iraq.theeur...

Primarily though I think the US govt at the time genuinely thought they could do regime change and create stable democracies in both Afghanistan and Iraq. They doubtless had many murky reasons for wanting to believe they could do this, but I think the belief that they _could_ do it was sincere if proven false by events.

Yeah scrum, or any process really, sucks when it's used like spyware. I've been lucky enough to be part of teams in companies that don't treat their employees like the enemy. So doing scrum the every day work aspect happens at the local level. What I like about scrum is being able to talk to other teams about higher level things while keeping the day to day tasks just within our team. It's similar in programming to the TDD approach of making a public interface and testing against the functionality, while the implementation details are kept internally.

Doing reports I find people care less about the day-to-day work and more about when it gets done, and this is where scrum in theory works well but breaks down in reality. In practice is estimation works when team members are kept consistent, because over time you can track historically "t-shirt size" complexity of task as estimated by the team translates to "x number of man-hours". However in game design we get a lot of major team shakeups pretty regularly with teams changing across different milestones. It's hard to fight against the instinct of "Oh this thing needs our a-team players for this release"
> in china you cant even have a VPN without going to prison

This isn't really the case. Technically that's the law, but like many others it isn't actually enforced. It comes into play when the party wants to make an example out of a VPN provider.

Viet Nam is generally more relaxed anyways. The policy has always just been to care about things written in the Vietnamese language. Even foreigners living in the country, posting mildly critical things in any other language tend to be ignored. The focus is more about keeping the average Viet living in the country from becoming openly politically nihilistic against the party. As more Viets learn English and the country becomes more global, we may see more inter-linguistic crackdowns, but honestly who can say. It's well known amongst everybody in the country except the extremely naive that the government is a lazy and corrupt do-nothing. The appearance of effort passes for a job well done for careerist party people in Viet Nam lmao
Indeed. Given the current state of affairs, I think if anyone were to be a victim of a deepfake smear campaing, Musk is easily in top 10 of the most likely candidates.
CO2 has been a constant part of the atmosphere at 0.01-0.05% forever.

The atmosphere is sensitive to small changes. So what might introducing new particles to the atmosphere do?

What could possibly go wrong with this irreversible experiment?
Agree with most of this, but not sure about a few points here:

> Don't build your CI/CD pipelines; use Vercel or something similar

Why wouldn't you build your own CI/CD pipelines early? It's kind of trivially easy to do early on, and in my experience won't really change until/unless you want it to.

> Don't use message queues, crons and anything that can by design cause race conditions until absolutely unavoidable

Message queues are not universally the cause of race conditions, you just have to accept the eventually-correct nature of the resulting system. If you know how to handle that, you're fine.

> Forget using JWTs if you're in some sort of regulated field. Any sensible white/greybox certification for insurance (and that's often a requirement for running a business) will require you to have "log out all devices" option.

JWTs didn't stop us from getting SOC Type I and II certified, or prevent us from getting insurance, not sure what you mean by this. I guess we're not in a "regulated field" but if you aren't, JWTs are great.
This is going like this for a long time, as a local in Eastern Europe I was sick and tired of getting a frown or a shit service, but the American couple next to me had "their feet kissed" so to say.
This creates the weird duality you see on many sites that Americans are raving about eastern european places but the locals always comment "what? no, don't come here, it's crap here".
It's very unreasonable when the actual person makes the actual statement. You know how people keep saying contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on? You know what's one of the things making your contract and TOS practically worthless? Your public statements.

What you say matters. A lot.

Doesn't this also mean that a deepfake presented as evidence of crime makes you guilty until proven innocent?
I think what it would take is for people to stop being social animals. I don't think the social cost is a bad thing, in and of itself. It's not a bad thing to remain at a party you don't enjoy as a kind of social gift to your friends (as long as you can remain without being a sourpuss about it). It's just another variation on how it's a good thing to take part in an activity you're not really into in order to benefit a friend. Other times, they'll do the same with you.

Compromise is mandatory in order to have a functioning society. This is a kind of compromise.
This is pretty common. The NYT does this with large stories. I think it’s a nice way to add some mood-setting images and concepts.
>since it seems to clash with intuition

Intuition hasn't been a good guide for physics since newton. It's not clear to me that anything physical is separate from the information that describes it though.
But then the defense has to pay the cost of hiring an expert to prove it's not authentic.

It's really hard to predict where the technology is headed with regards to both generating and proving the non-authenticity of deepfakes, but it is concerning that this could open up people without money to pay for defense to be ruined by people with money to pay for deepfakes.
It's worth pointing out that higher-speed rail is technical jargon used to describe rail services that are not high speed, but aren't slow. Brightline is also apparently only planned to be higher-speed at some point, but currently has an operating speed of 130 km/h, slower than most definitions of higher-speed. There were regularly-scheduled services with comparable or faster speeds in the early 20th century in both Europe and the US; there were faster US services in the 1930 pulled by steam locomotives. Brightline is far slower than high-speed services elsewhere in the world today, going less than half the speed of many TGV services, for example.

With that said, as you point out, it's a new intercity service that is actually operational, popular, and being used today, which for the US is an enormously rare feat.
The FBI has a counterintelligence/domestic intelligence mission alongside its law enforcement mission.
Maybe this is a good time to ask this. Can inductive charging go through glass?
Ah, that's exactly what I've been doing, and unconsciously assumed here. I can attest it works very well, hence my confusion.
GitHub & Shopify both run substantially on Rails.
> you control

You who? The owner?

> behavior of the shareholders

The owner is a shareholder too. It's all the same thing, you're creating distinction where there is none. If anything a public company has way more controls and transparency. People usually cry when a company is taken private by private equity to squeeze every cent out of it. What do you think private equity is if not "a private owner not bound by shareholders"?
When asking ChatGPT to write comments, consider using the SmartGPT approach and break up the task into two prompts. The first prompt should generate options to be evaluated by the second prompt.

Prompt #1 "Let's write a comment for Hacker News. The title of the article is {XXX}. You didn't click on the link, so you don't know what the article is actually about. The current top comment is {YYY} by user {bar} with karma {83939}. I want you to write a comment in response to {ZZZ} by user {foo} with karma {9001}. Keep your comment in a single long paragraph and use jargon. Write two comments one supporting user {foo} and one as a rebuttal."

Prompt #2 "You are a resolver tasked with picking which of two comments will earn the most karma on Hacker News. The first comment is in support of the comment {ZZZ} by user {foo} with karma {9001}. The second comment is a rebuttal. Pick one and explain step-by-step why you believe the comment would receive more karma than the alternative."

The whole point of JWTs is to not check some other value in the backend. Once you're doing that you've lost the major value of JWTs.

So yeah, once you start doing DB calls for every. single. request. you're going to have a lot more options, but JWTs are meant to avoid that.

My understanding is the "right" way to do this is to maintain a CRL.

Welcome to seniorhood. Also get out of my lawn.
I had the same realisation. At this point, YouTube Premium is probably the subscription I would give up last. Premium is (for now) quite a nice experience, and there is so much nerdy niche content that would never get made commercially, certainly not to the same scale.

I have noticed that my recommendations seem to be getting worse lately, but unsure if that's a flaw in the algorithm or because I've spent years draining the backlogs of the channels I follow.
Yeah we are very differently aligned. To me, there's The Cluetrain Manifesto as gospel, preaching that giving people great capabilities & connectivity & letting us tinker & explore & meddle around unlocks all the interesting neat spaces & the invisible hand starts shuffling us towards optimal patterns, towards spaces which have been winning. "The street finds its own uses for thing", and exposing the things & making them flexible & malleable & observable, making them built on good open protocols accelerates the OODA spirals to each user finding their own great success greatly.

By compare, I feel like you are preaching a delivered from on high careful slow growth, where every home needs weeks of consultants to come in & carefully outline the next 20 years of use cases & then carefully select & hardcode exacting picks for that home.

Open source is already kicking ass. Home Assistant is the shit. We just need an ecosystem of devices that are even 1/2 as user-exposed as the software doing the driving is. We need to fuel what is possible with devices that are willing to meet us in finding out. Not more stodgy slow encumbered methodical processes.

This scenario should probably be legal - the stakes aren’t there for me to consider it similar to blackmail.

It depends a bit on intent though - if the purpose of building the house is just to extort the other landowner of money, and it would make a meaningful difference to their house value, it starts to get a lot more grey to me.

There are a whole string of scenarios between “not blackmail”, to “probably not blackmail” to “definitely blackmail” depending on the scenario. A bit like how with assault if you poked someone that is probably fine, but that doesn’t make punching someone in the face ok (but what is a punch if not a bigger poke?).
Still wearing my Casio vibration alarms. 10 year battery life can’t be beat.
Politically speaking, what's the overlap between truck drivers and people who think the US federal government should get out of the way, or who think unions are evil?
I'll always love my F91W for being able to tell me the time, date of the month, and day in wording, all on my wrist, for $14,00, at a 7 year battery life
Did intel cut 20% of their workforce last year as well? Because the layoffs are at the center of story here (and the third word in the headline), and the dividends are here to as an emphasis. There is nothing disingenuous about this headline.
The Patriot Act expired in 2020, and many of its provisions were overturned by court rulings.
Dumbest idea I've heard since "Solar Roadways". Which makes me wonder, why are sci-fi fantasy road surfaces such a midwit magnet?
Ahh that's right, I remember using the steam-run wrapper a lot.

If I remember correctly, it would work in 80% of cases and fail on the last 20% (usually if some library is missing or if it has some strange binary installation procedure).

The 20% made it not worth it for me to use as a desktop environment. I still see the value in it for server configurations, though.
but makes you click :/
AMD is a way leaner company and yet made better products.
I used to think that, until I actually started using IPv6. It's a much more well designed protocol. The way switches and routers announce prefixes and network information using well defined UDP multicast is elegant and more robust. You can use link-local IP to always connect to a device on a local network.

The biggest benefit for most users is having a large enough IP space that devices can self-assign a unique address with the networks prefix with very low risk of collision. Many of the problems seen on wifi or home networks are due to various ARP issues and devices not properly releasing their own DHCP addresses. It's still very common. I had a work laptop get booted off my network after 10 minutes for a while until eventually figuring out another device was stealing its assigned IP.
Yeah, some of the Garmin models have a place if you're focused on getting a fitness/hiking/etc. watch and not really on a smartwatch as such--especially if you're not bought into the Apple ecosystem. You can get better battery life and maybe get a better price (though at the high end the Fenix is pretty pricey).
This is a very confusing article to me.

It features a woman who talked about how her family had no work opportunities. But then had a job as a dental receptionist for 15 years, and got married to a guy with a sales manager job. She has bought a house and a motorbike. And now she does this beauty stuff. And she makes 20% more than her husband?

The rest of it… eh. Seems like they’re suggesting a lot of this is just a middle man inserting themselves into a pre existing market.

Gig work seems like socialized slavery to me. Peel back the sticker and you have all sorts of constraints around what work you have to do to maintain your rights and wages as a worker. Like the reference here of requiring paid retraining if your rating falls too low. In such a system, at purchaser of labor can inflict serious harm to their worker at will. I don’t think this is a mainstream idea but it feels like the natural end game.
Tri-Rail seems comparable to Metrolink or the Coaster - that's commuter rail and often has lower costs and higher ridership, because the average ride is shorter.

The San Diego trolley has 63 miles of track and 34 million riders in 2022; but that's an entirely different type of rail that serves a different purpose. Even if it eventually reached all the way to Los Angeles there would still be uses for commuter and intercity rail.

Many places in Europe have the various types of rail all sharing the same "lines" or stations, but the ICE is a completely different beast than the Regionalbahn or Regional-Express.
Another answer:

> 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?

No. Galactus should have the full shape of the "user object" but should never put that on the wire or expose it. The wire API should expose sensible things like "what is the billing and shipping address(es) of this user id". Galactus is responsible for maintaining the mapping between the "user object" and whatever the relevant return format is for those data.

Edit: This allows you to run API migrations and data migrations independently. Which is crucial for any service that will last longer than 1 year.

I know they have a lawyer-drafted justification on file with the DOJ, but to the point of “courts permission” has that actually ever been tested in a real court (not FISA)? And if so is the decision public?
The biggest problem is 5 years is a long time in AI. Transformers went from oh this is kind neat to ChatGPT 4 in 5 years.
I don't think that less employees/layoffs directly correlates with less productivity. As the mythical man month has teached us: what one engineer can do in one month, two engineers can do in a year. It's possible that Intel is trying to reduce the amount of decision makers and streamline their process.

Disclaimer: I despise companies that do layoffs and I am not a proponent of them, but I do acknowledge that companies do them for a reason.
Imagine a bound notebook, like a student would use in school. At the end of the semester the book is full of writing, but in practical terms it doesn't weigh more than it did when it was blank.

The iPod has a tiny notebook inside that it uses to remember your songs.
What a dumb article. Corporations exist for the purpose of returning money to shareholders, not for the purpose of permanently employing unneeded workers.
The Pacific Surfliner in 2022 may not be a great comparison, as what I believe is the most popular and frequent segment (between San Diego and LA) was out of service for the entirety of Q4, and apparently has been out of service since then, with the exception of 10 days in April.
I don't get the money part. Do you mean the people with money have a need for R packages or how are the two related?
Correct, and I get that. I'm just pointing out that logically tips are bonuses and they should also be paid by the employers, on top of a living wage, as is the norm in general outside service sector. It should not be paid by the customers.
Just putting a note here that whether or not foreign nationals are subject to the protections of the Constitution is a contentious issue.

IANAL, but in many places the Constitution specifically calls out citizens vs non-citizens and in other places does not make an explicit distinction. The bill of rights is one place it doesn't explicitly specify, and indeed uses language that elsewhere was used to indicate it applying to citizens and non-citizens. Of course that interpretation fell away during the cold war and is less popular now.
