Only client sockets are available. So what you can do is build a worker that receives HTTP requests and then uses TCP sockets to fetch data from wherever, returning it over HTTP somehow.

> there is no price that makes them a good risk for an insurer

To a naive mind that doesn't know much about insurance this sounds untrue. I'd be willing to insure houses myself with as many funds as I could get at 33% of the property value per year, for example.
Yep. Like a virus, once an idea's replication rate is high enough, it doesn't need to be seeded by propagandists.

> But, really how often do you need to do that and what % of users really need to?

When testing something or you want to spin up your own isolated environment for yourself or for your team? Very often.

> Also, once on the cloud some business management take so long to "approve" new expenses that in reality it may not really be feasible to do things fast enough for it to be a benefit.

And that’s get back to my other point that when you do a “lift and shift”. If you don’t change your processes both IT and technical, you won’t see any benefit from the cloud and you will end up spending more.

There are so many ways that you can both give developers freedom and still have the necessary guardrails. I’m speaking about AWS because that’s the one I know best (and where I work). But I’m sure there are equivalent services on other providers.

For instance you can have a vending machine type of setup where you allow department heads to set up non prod accounts with organization controlled service control policies. You can use a Service Catalog approach where you surface Terraform or CloudFormation defined products where the users can only provision infrastructure defined by their administrators. But they can do it themselves.

Depending on which level of the organization I’m working with, I try to convince the IT department to give individual departments their own organizational unit to monitor and to embed someone from IT into their team - ie a “DevOps” philosophy.
Do you own your home outright? If you don't, the mortgage issuer (i.e. the real owner) would likely not play ball with catastrophic coverage.

I've managed to keep my premium low by increasing the deductible to the max and also not increasing the covered amount (replacement cost). Even though I own the property, I'm not balsy enough to completely drop coverage. But, I also don't live in an area where the land is 80%+ of the value. For reference, I pay probably about a quarter of a percent of the insured value per year with a $3000 deductible, which seems pretty darn reasonable compared to comprehensive/collision car insurance.
Different ideologies make relationships wear out, all the time.

Some manager does not care too much about documenting some area of the product, some IC does not care enough to dig into the code to understand it, etc. Week by week these people's trust on each other will be eroded by the disagreements that stem from what they expect from each other.

I may be a cynic, but I don't believe in fixing most if not all of these relationships. Life is too short, and the industry is huge.
I'm hopeful it will. In practice I've seen the malicious compliance angle more often e.g. 'send us photocopies of id / official documents to prove you're a CA resident and then we'll remove your data.'
If you could get a farm 50% as efficient at growth in an extremely dense area (think Manhattan) my guess is the transport cost reduction might be worth it for high cost growth.

These two ideas are incompatible with each other. You can't claim that you didn't know to question the source, and then also that you questioned the source, even if it was done in the least effective possible manner.
No, because that would make GET not-cachable by URL alone, which breaks systems that rely on the fact that it is.

A new method doesn’t break existing systems.
Different browsers will leak different data from this (and subsequent)
methods. And so what if there are some easier things one can gather; fingerprinting relies on gathering many things. You claim it needs a "large number of statistically unique" items, which is wrong. One statistically unique item is enough, but that's hard.

What is actually used is enough (not large, not small, not one usually... just enough) items with some spread in statistics such that one gathers enough such things so they can conclude to some level of certainty the device is uniquely determined.

Thus any new piece of data that provides any amount of device discrimination is useful. This new method fits the bill. And it will open the door to much more advanced attacks, as all new attacks do.

The technology is what matters to users. Mozilla only matters in that they develop and publish the software that users care about.

If the software is forked and development is continued as an open source project under the auspices of another organization, that works just as well for users. Conversely, if the software dies but the Mozilla Corporation survives as the world's leading manufacturer of paperclips, that's of no value to the software's users.

The Injury Costs of Knapping
That's right, generative model outputs are worthless unless checked by a human. You are using it right. For the moment I don't think there is any single domain where AI can work on its own, autonomy was reached in 0% of fields. That makes me think the removal of the human in the loop will take a long time. We are still safe, AI will be our sidekick.

It's crazy how AI seems to progress at incredible speed and yet we don't get closer to full autonomy anywhere. It's as if we discover new problems at the same speed we are solving them. Just 5 years ago nobody would think hallucinations will become a central issue in AI, we might discover other unknown unknowns that hide in our future.
We're a very tech forward law firm, and we're bullish on AI. The issue is that lawyers are traditionally tech illiterate, and they treat Gen AI like a search engine that puts results in narrative form. Realistically, I think AI generated motions and contracts are the future, and this instance will be looked at by every tech averse lawyer to try and stymie progress in the field. These lawyers deserve their sanctions for being so reckless with things they don't understand, but rather than take away that lawyers need to learn tech, lawyers will say tech is bad. I almost wish this was non-news so it wouldn't further push the legal industry into the past, but those clients were wronged and I guess people need to know what to beware of when hiring a lawyer.

Personally, we get really good results from using AI, it's already present in all of our processes, but we tell it what to generate, rather than rely on it to know better.
History is written by men and selectively erased by other, more privileged, men.

> Humans will have to adapt to a new climate regime, by necessity. It's not going to be very pretty.

Somehow, I get a sense that the governing bodies are going to cause far more harm to people than the climate change. Similar to how Mao ordered the mass killing of Sparrows in a misguided belief that since sparrows eat crops, killing sparrows will increase yields. Unfortunately, killing the sparrows meant a predator of bugs (which eat crops in a more destructive manner) was drastically reduced. The crop yields plummeted largely from the policy to kill sparrows, resulting in millions people dying of starvation.

Human institutions with their "brilliant" ideas of intervening with nature often make matters worse, especially when chasing a single metric & ignoring other aspects of a system.

(2016)

I liked grad school, although it was way more time consuming than uni partially because the work was non-textbook and partially because I had to handle recitations and labs for my support. It wasn't so "fun" but then I was older and the stakes were higher.

Uni was "fun". Yeah, there were courses and studying but that wasn't so hard outside of memorization courses. Science and math seem to be both algorithmic and memory-based and man, the latter did me in. Yet I can remember esoteric, quite irrelevant hacking details... Guess it's an interest thing.

I also think I was way better connected in uni - not trapped in a department and sitting on the other side of a desk or lab table. There were 1000's and 1000's of people of similar age, interests and free-time at uni and it was the first time to be out of the control of others. This (greatly) predated the net, so maybe that's why I enjoyed the F2F activities? Uni was in a larger, more diverse city and at a more interesting time for the music biz, which also helped.

We created this problem by using energy and energy is the way back out of the problem.

Energy released by burning one barrel of oil: ~6 GJ.
Total number of barrels consumed per year: ~100M

Total energy per year: 6 * 10^17 J

Solar flux on 10^17 J/s or 3 * 10^24

if we had a machine that could convert CO2 -> Carbon in some stable form, we would need to use 10^-7 of the earth's solar flux.

At a very high level such a machine would have two principle "knobs" (1) the efficiency and (2) percent of earth that would need to be covered. The product of the 2 must equal (or be less than) 10^7.

Some example parameters:

Efficiency : 10^-2
Area: 10^-5

This seems wildly plausible for some microbe that we design in the near future that lives in the ocean. This efficiency parameter is lower than current plants.

For those wild eyed technologists that think we can beat nature by a good amount:

Efficiency : 10^-1
Area: 10^-6

That's a couple of hundred square miles. That seems paltry for an "existential threat". Even a couple of orders of magnitude more area seem like they would be fine to sequester for this purpose.

This type of technology seems well within our grasp (or within the next 20 years). I never understand the hysteria over this topic.
The thing is that if you are not an expert in the field you cannot tell gibberish from legit facts. Especially if the writing style and grammar are top-notch.

I know it is a bad bias, but we typically associate good and clear writing with legitimacy. Here we have chat GPT, that can do exactly that, but spit out complete bs.
Maybe. Sorry for the auto correct.

Okay, let's think about this:

- Signal has stated they'll withdraw from the EU rather than cooperate

- That means the app won't exist in the official EU app stores (iOS, etc.). Users will have to load the app on their own (which 95% of users won't do)

- Next, because Signal is no longer providing services, Signal's EU gateways will not be operational. Now your messages are encrypted, but I've no idea if your Signal connects at all, and where (Signal gateways in some Five Eyes country, perhaps?).

tldr; you're still leaking metadata, and now to a country that has no obligation to not track your metadata (your IP, when you sent message, who received message around the same time, etc).

My suggestion would be get a proper decentralized messenger rather than spend time on these workarounds of questionable value.

I always get down-voted for "shilling", so I won't even make any suggestions this time. DYOD!

It certainly won’t replace central CA, which is one of the most fertile regions in the world. However, if you live far from that region, as most of the country doe, the freshness and available variety of foods decreases. If indoor farming becomes viable, it would allow those regions to have fresh foods they don’t normally have access to.

>The change does not apply to personal auto insurance or existing home insurance policies in the state.

This is a little misleading.

My family has State Farm, and they recently sent a letter informing us they will be inspecting our property.

My guess is they are looking for things that could increase the risk of fire or risk of losing/damage to the house during a fire and will ask us to remediate any issues they find.

This is understandable, but their current statement is likely misleading because they are likely implementing other, additional/different policies for existing home insurance policy holders.
verbs don't identify a resource, so why would they be in a URI?

A separate format to serialize a request spec is a good idea, sure, but it is a distinctly different thing than the URI of the resource referenced by the request.
Well, I think you can break it into two parts. I see the underlying tech getting better, making it easier, and making it faster. Look at the HTML dialogue element as an example.

So, “the path you take to get there” CAN be much improved as a developer.

Now, as a user, you may find that sites that could be simpler are much heavier and complex than you want them to be. My question is why? My argument is that both users and producers of these sites WANT them to be more complex. Which means blaming the technology is misplaced.

Certainly we CAN still make the sites that ran in Netscape 4. Why don’t we?

> must be salvaged at any cost

I disagree with this. Relationships with Cluster-B people can become very dangerous. This can even include parent-child relationships, for example, if the parent has NPD (narcisstic personality disorder). At the end you really need to look out for yourself and your mental health first (hence not at any cost).
I've wondered about this for wasabi. I believe it is the most expensive vegetable on the market at several hundred dollars per kilo - almost all of what is sold as wasabi is actually horseradish. Apparently it is picky about conditions (as the price would suggest), and so I'd think it would be an interesting opportunity.
I can't remember the specific terms of my mortgage, but as I recall, the first level was 'you must have home insurance with certain parameters including having us as a named insured, etc; if you don't, we will obtain home insurance at your expense'. But I don't know what the recourse is if home insurance is unobtainable.

Certainly, it would be a lot harder to get a new mortgage underwritten, which makes refinancing mostly impossible and makes selling difficult.

Given that the property would be difficult to sell, I'd imagine even if the contract allows it, lenders wouldn't foreclose for lack of insurance if insurance is unavailable.

Really, I think the way to move forward on the issue that so many homes are built in areas they shouldn't be is to make available insurance policies that cover permanent relocation, rather than rebuilding in place. You can still live there until it burns down, at which time, you must move elsewhere and the lot is deemed unbuildable for the forseable future. With some sort of provision to manage windfalls from changes in conditions allowing safe construction in the future. (It's not fair if you force people out, but ten or twenty years later, let people in again; OTOH, maybe one hundred years later, it will make sense?)

That one random guy asking for ten or twenty packets of ketchup every once in a while isn't the problem. Sure, it's weird, but he does put it all on his fries and he does eat it all, so that's just part of offering free ketchup.

However, would you still call it "detached from real life" if suddenly the manager from McDonalds starts showing up daily, filling a 100-gallon drum with ketchup because it is "free"? In law there is such a concept as a "reasonable person", which exists precisely to avoid people abusing loopholes like this.

> The earth naturally sequesters carbon on its own, we are simply vastly outpacing that process.So no we don’t need artificial carbon sequestration to hit even preindustrial levels again.

Debatable: not only have human activities taken over huge swathes of land which previously sequestered carbon (aka forests), we have been releasing huge amounts of carbon which had been sequestered through processes which basically can not work anymore, at least not naturally.

There is no millions of years of trees being buried wholesale because fungi haven’t evolved peroxisade yet, because they did, a while ago, and so dead trees rot and release their carbon.
