A fine article. Really appreciated the candor. However, the last bit here left me thinking:

> “ So, this is what I think about when I need to push through. I am at the right place because it minimizes future regrets.”

What is the point of it all? There is probably a reason that the “pursuit of happiness” resonates with people more than a saying such as “minimize future regrets.” I’m not saying the author is wrong - minimizing future regrets may indeed maximize long-term happiness - but I can’t help but feel a little bit of hollowness in the proclamation “minimize future regrets.” But if I’m honest with myself, this may be a projection of my negative mood as I deal with a major current regret (divorce). So maybe there’s something to this idea after all?

I suppose my point is that avoiding pain or regret, while perhaps a necessary precondition, is not necessarily the same as the pursuit of happiness or the pursuit of a meaningful life or life well lived.

That's funny, I've stopped caring about remembering most passwords and use the "forgot my password" loop as a login mechanism for rarely accessed sites/services. I also only enable 2FA on important ones like email, github, or banking. Basically my threat model includes my ability to lose things.

Me: Hi, do you believe you are conscious?

ChatGPT (GPT-4 model): As an artificial intelligence model, I don't have beliefs, emotions, consciousness, or subjective experiences. I do not have a personal identity, self-awareness, or any kind of subjective experience. My responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data.

In terms of consciousness, it's commonly described as an experience or awareness of one's surroundings, thoughts, and feelings. This is not something an artificial intelligence, like myself, is capable of. I don't experience the world, I process information given to me and generate responses based on my programming and training data.

Any semblance of consciousness or understanding that might seem to come from me is actually a reflection of the information and tasks I was trained on, not a result of any internal thoughts or experiences.

AMP had some really awful aspects to it, was a power grab. But it also tackled a very real existential crisis, that sites were being incredibly poorly built with ghastly performance, and they did make an ok toolkit. Going power mad & hosting all the content themselves was obscene though.

Since PCB manufacturing has become super cheap, they could consider having a custom L- or U-shaped custom PCB around the battery box that serves no other purpose than routing signals and power to where they are needed and solder the different boards directly onto that. That would also allow to place supports for this large PCB where they are convenient instead of having to separately mount each of these small PCBs to the case.

With less cables in the way, they might get better airflow in the case as well.

Edit: I guesstimated the size and think that they could get five pieces of such a board for less than 20€, including delivery.
I really really like Strongbox.

My only resistance from going the route of strongboxsafe is the lack of app-specific PIN, opposed to OS-specific PIN that is still missing from the free version.

While a master password covers the specific database, the PIN covers the app.

This is a problem for me there:

1. No OS-specific PIN/passcode in free version

A wider acceptance should borne with this simple feature in the free version.

Also Netwrix is more enterprise-ready with their SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA ready but that is a moot point for most SMBs, SMEs, family-servers and homelabs.

I do do like the simple fact that Strongbox has it all out with their Github repository.

It was a ho-hum phone by the existing standard of mobile phones. But it offered a full-size capacitive touchscreen and a desktop-level operating system. These were both unique in the market, and importantly they were designed together for a cohesive experience that nobody else could match. The iPhone introduced UI affordances like inertial touch scrolling which we take for granted today, and that UI enabled things like mobile web browsing that didn’t suck.

The iPod touch was an important pillar of this new platform’s introduction. It’s often forgotten today, but a lot of people around the world got introduced to iOS on the iPod rather than the iPhone.

> signatures that can be correlated, many are generated from weak keys or malformed certificates. The results suggest widespread misuse of GPG and other PGP implementations by Python packagers

So a bunch of python packages don't implement the spec correctly... and this is pgp's fault.
The OP is talking about years-long lead times.

AFAIK (but never studied the latest processes), making a mask takes weeks. That means that the minimum lead-time on making masks is weeks long, because there is no interdependence between them. But I'm sure this is one of the steps that add up to years on practice, because of production limitations.

Actually making the chips has a higher floor, because every step is interdependent. With a hundred steps, each one taking half a day, we are talking about 2 months here. There are probably more than a hundred, and a few take more than half a day (but many take less than it), so yeah, I'd easily expect a 4 months minimum. What doesn't compare to years at all.

I think there is a lot more to it than we Western societies know of.

Take castes for example Japan has castes or "Burakumin" even now in 2023. Anyone who deals with "unclean" job like slaughterhouse, undertaker, obviously Japanese mob (which ironically was created due to the discrimination). Supposedly (and highly likely) the people who were tasked with cleaning up in the radioactive areas of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster were all or labelled Burakumin people.

Then there is Japanese blood personality types which is yet another form of discrimination, lord help you if you're type B.

The indigenous residents of Japan Ainu are also discriminated against.

for everyone there is a salary / guarantee of future income point where they can just "get on with it" - go hell for leather at work and be happy their family's future is secure anyway.

Welfare states reduce that level, this subsidising businesses (!) but at some point you gotta pay if you want more than the basics. It's not extrinsic motivation - it's much more a hygiene factor to allow intrinsic motivation to come tomplay
Quickbooks is currently a necessary evil for me. I have to use it, because that is what my bookkeepers and accountants use.

The success of the Mac was to show what a pc could be. This headset is the same. Both Apple Watch and iPhone sucked when they came out, but they were good enough at showing what the future could be; enough for people to buy them. Both have improved dramatically around 5-10 years after release.

This headset should be thought of as a dev unit, except substitute dev with early adopters.

If it’s good then there will definitely be a value add in maybe 5-10 years. If it sucks then they’ll just have failed at creating a compelling headset experience that has broad appeal, just like everyone before them.

It’s important to realize just still how early we are in the computing revolution, and how much of the growth curve there’s left.

Invoking Cunningham's, I'd guess it's memory mapped I/O occupying 0xE0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF. That's the top ⅛ of the address space, which is every binary address starting with 111.

In researching this I learned that some 32bit hardware could utilize 128GB of ram using Physical Address Extensions. Each process is still limited to 4GB though.
Why? Presumably it's the gate to the job they want. And they want the job so they have to cross the gate.
Did Skinner have anything to say about how the reinforcement works? Because with LLMs you do need the right sort of architecture, and the same with neurons, even though they don't use back propagation. Only humans are known to have language in the full sense, and there has to be some neural reason why that is. Maybe you could make an argument for cetaceans or certain birds, but again they must have the neural architecture for it.
Maybe it would help to show them disabled and give an explanation like this when you try to use it?
Sequoia is an implementation of OpenPGP, i.e. RFC 4880. It also supports a few non-standard extensions to OpenPGP, e.g. ECDSA and EdDSA signatures, better stream ciphers than CAST5, etc.

I think a legitimate selling point of Sequoia is simplicity: it's a new implementation, written in a memory-safe language[1], and it can make better (but still not optimal) default decisions.

At the same time, I don't think Sequoia succeeds in avoiding PGP's baggage or drawbacks: PGP is defined by its baggage, and any greenfield implementation that avoids that baggage is intentionally breaking compatibility with the thing it's meant to be compatible with.

It's unclear to me (personally) what the value proposition for Sequoia is meant to be, given that it's shackled to the past and can't do better on basic things like certificate malleability. If the goal is for it to be something better, I think it'd be best to cut the losses and start from stronger (and more modern) foundations.

I’ve learned from gpt. Did it teach me? In the same way books teach me things, yes, it did. I could have learned the same things on my own with much more reading, but you don’t always know what to read when working on a problem. Gpt has read everything, and can tell you answers to questions you don’t even know to ask. Like “how do the complete works of two authors (I’ve never read) relate?” Sure it gives a nonsensical answer quite often, but that doesn’t really matter. I can verify what I need to verify on my own, just as I would any other unreliable source of information (like CNN, aljazeera, etc…)

I understand the sentiment, but my personal opinion is that the human impact from Chernobyl specifically is vastly under counted. We're talking about a regime (the USSR) that didn't even admit there was an issue for a week while the plant was in an active meltdown. You really can't trust the official numbers related to the disaster.

I speak from personal experience. My partner is from Belarus. Their mother was nearby in Gomel at the time of the incident, and she was pregnant with my sister in law. Both my sister in law's kids have birth defects. The number of people my partner knows who have died of cancer is staggering.

And I'm not the only one to notice these impacts. Here is an article from the BBC that explores wool workers who treated radioactive wool [0]. A vast majority have either died or were forced to retire due to poor health. And these wool workers were just a microcosm of what went on in the country after the disaster.

Even today, some milk from Belarus has been found to be radioactive [1].

What's really fun is when traveling in Europe. A Spanish-speaking person visiting Belgium, for example, would want the maps to show directions in Spanish, except sometimes it would be nice to see street names in the local language so they can be matched up with street signs. But wait, what's the local language in Belgium? What if you're in Brussels?

Fun times.
Then people say: So then ban First person shooters, and then people argument: "Oh I play call of duty and don't shoot anyone in real life". So what? Do everyone get influenced by games or just those that - for instance - didn't have strong parents, teaching them things like values, empathy and etc?

Is Gen Z on to Something with ‘Funemployment’?
From my perspective the poll itself is somewhat biased in wording. Personally I'm in favor of not using these terms at all, but explicitly writing out the process in the question: "Are you in favor of allowing people to have medical practitioners inject or provide them with lethal drugs in order to die for reasons of..."

In 2021 there were 10,064 deaths by MAiD in Canada, fewer than 7 were self-administered[1]. Making greater than 99.9% of MAiD deaths euthanasia, or at least consented-to mercy killings. I personally think calling them "assistance in dying" implies an autonomy in the actual act that does not exist. The autonomy is theoretically[2] in the decision (until the exact moment of administration), but this is the case for all suicides.

"Assisted dying" also, to me, implies inevitability. That the person is already dying, and that this process is just made easier. 219 of the 10,064 MAiD deaths (2.18%) in 2021 were of people whose deaths were "not reasonably foreseeable" (not in progress)[1]. "Assisted dying" is a disingenuous term for these deaths, "assisted suicide" is better. I don't know whether the change in terms would have altered the polling results. I'd presume that most people realize that poverty is not a lethal condition, but I don't know what's going through their heads as they answer the question.

There's little that inspires confidence that what is used is not actually awful, there's plenty that shows how fragile and finicky PGP implementations are, thus how awful they are. Doing things the same way for two decades combined with not taking additional precautions (like transport crypto) puts a lot of weight on a single thing. That deserves all the possible scrutiny it possibly can get.

> There's a reason Zerodium values iOS zero days less than Android ones too [0], which is quite telling of the amount of them they already have in stock.

You could be right, but I don't think it's a given that the latter follows the former. The reason that Zerodium values iOS zero-days less than Androids is more likely because the US and European governments that purchase these exploits from Zerodium value iOS less than Android, which itself could be attributed to there simply being more Android phones used by adversarial countries than iOS.
> This isn’t exactly accurate either. Last I heard, it was based on “hops.” Not just 1 degree of separation of Vladimir Putin, but N degrees of separation from anyone considered to be a potential “national security threat.”

The quote was completely accurate. What you heard is inaccurate. The US isn't allowed to get data for people living in the US (or US citizens living anywhere) at all without a court order. They can collect Putin's data and that of his non-American associates. They can then search that data for Americans suspected to be involved in schemes against national security. They cannot search that data for Americans who aren't, which is what is being reported here.

Ah yes, the language where a string can magically become a boolean and cause an error. And you can never be sure what is legal because of so many changes in parsing legality between versions.

Yaml is one of the worst config languages.
Why would you store critical passwords in two places?
Yes. As the post says: well-designed signing schemes need to be misuse resistant.

(And to be clear: it's not the "spec" they're failing to implement. The breakages here indicate that people aren't generating strong keys or doing signing operations correctly with the `gpg` CLI; poor design and documentation there is absolutely the tool's fault.)
