This is one of those fluky months in the household survey. All the negative number in employment can be accounted for by 1) government wage/salary worker and 2) unincorporated self employed. There is pretty obviously some huge error in there, especially 2) down 4.1% MoM. Self employed are not counted in the employer report

In the household report private non farm employment was up 395k. In the employer report private nonfarm payrolls were up 339k

My experience with these types of audits and security questionnaires is that there are usually a lot of items that aren't actually important either in general, or for your specific company/product. And often if you can provide a compelling argument why you don't actually need something, the customer will usually be ok with it. But the more of those there are, the longer it takes to close the deal, or finish the audit, and the more resources you have to spend on it.
“That would incur a fixed cost of around $32k for the migration.”

They should consider Backblaze b2 if they want s3 api compatibility. Backblaze currently offers to cover the migration costs assuming some spend commitment.
Why are they not considering a decentralized mirrorlist?

I’m not sure your analogy holds.

YouTube plays full music content on their site and shows ads on top of it.

I'm a Windows wizard and couldn't care less about Linux neckbeards, I already tried to make Linux a part of my arsenal only to meet repeated failures. Linux isn't suited for me, and probably most users at that, and that's fine.

> If I hired a babysitter and on their watch, one of my kids caught on fire, yes, I'd insist on attributing that to the person whose one job it was to ensure their safety, and at least not hiring them again.

Interesting that the responsibility stops there. What about the person that hired the obviously incompetent babysitter? They don’t appear to have sufficient judgement to be responsible for kids.

From a recent podcast [0] it seems unlikely that they make profit from gpt-3.5-turbo, at least not in the sense that it pays for employee salaries. Instead, from the conversation, it seems like OpenAI is aiming to make money mostly from enterprise partnerships, probably to fine tune GPT-4 or what not to your own private data.

I think this makes sense, you keep competitors at bay by offering a good-enough, dirt-cheap API and then ask the big bucks for the private setup. This mirrors Stability AI's strategy, which is basically that but with open source models.

Because if you’ve ever been working poor you know that your support network is hugely important. Grandma can watch the kids, Pablo knows how to keep that old car of yours running cheap, Henry has some house repair know-how, and so forth. Leaving your entire family and friends to settle elsewhere; it’s hard. It’s scary. And if you’re poor, it’s almost certainly one-way for at least some years.

And even so many are doing it.

My story is more of a facepalm since there was no known hack that came of it.

My former employer had a helpdesk website that was written in Perl 4 in the '90s by some interns. The users' passwords were stored in plaintext in /var/www under a subdirectory. Anyone who guessed the URL could have stolen those passwords and accessed a trove of information and data of some of the biggest financial institutions.

My coworker and I patched it up as much as we could (2018-20), upgraded it from RHEL 4 to 7/8, Perl 5, fixed the public password issue, and flagged it with management but it largely fell onto deaf ears at the time.

I am still amazed at how blatantly incompetant and reckless some companies are.
My counter to the dismissal of the problem of "nuisance homelessness" was to insist that they're a problem. But argument aside, it sounds like we're agreed policy-wise: let's aggressively fix the problem of violent law-breaking lifestyle-choice homelessness with all the obvious tools we've been neglecting to use, and with the money and peace of mind freed up by their absence (carried out in tandem, no doubt you'll want to accuse me of favouritism for law-abiding seniors again...) turn our efforts to the more difficult issue of the invisible law-abiding down-on-their-luck homeless.

I now fully agree with the author's take on AI programming after read the article, though its still worth to learn programminig as of now. Only if you know the in and outs of a computer and coding logic, why this and that happen, what is under the hood etc, then you will have enough confidence and fully understand and control everything, thus more efficiency and time saving.

I regard prompt programmers are still a kind of tech debt, always a tickbomb though, of course it is a must have job class in the future.

Finally, I think only Ai achieves AGI level then the everything described in the article will be 100% true and right, imo we have to at least wait another 3-5 years to see that happen.

HIP is a Runtime API that allows creating applications for AMD and Nvidia GPUs
Looks like lots of businesses, investments and patents https://newtonhoward.com/rapid-4-d-imaging-focused-on-protei...
Look long and hard at AMD's financials circa 2015[1]...for the sake of anticipated TL;DR, here are a few summary highlights:

- -27.5% YoY revenue decline
- -6.3% YoY gross margin decline
- -$481M operating loss
- $230M short-term debt
- $388M non-cancelable operating lease commitments
- $538M unconditional purchase commitments
- $2.032B long-term debt (!)
- -$412M stockholders' deficit (!!)

Seriously, look long and hard at those numbers, and when you think you understand what they might mean, consider them again and again until the feeling of insurmountable adversity sinks in and you're on your knees begging public equity markets for an ounce of capital and a pinch of courtesy faith...on the promise of meaningful risk-adjusted ROIC to be delivered in just a few years.

> But Nvidia gpu datacenter growth isn't new. And AMd were asleep

...which is why this remark comes off as sheer arrogance (no disrespect).

Su and the rest of AMD leadership certainly weren't asleep. The difference here is while you're busy scouting speculative waters defended by competition with deep battle pockets and an even deeper technical moat, Su was simply preoccupied bringing a zombie company back to life and building up enough health to slay a weaker giant.

Personally, I was already beyond impressed with one miracle delivered.

> They are also quite blatant about "if you vote against PAP, we'll take money away from your constituency".

Not cool!

> The "grassroots" setup PAP has resident committees, neighborhood committees, resident's networks, etc. It's a massive group of volunteers for PAP that allows them a broad interaction with voters that the opposition can't really replicate

Unpaid volunteers? Wow...

Honestly I think if they were serious about it they could create processes and entities in place that would benefit constituents without depending on the ruling party.
If my understanding is correct, because Maturana was relatively strict about using autopoiesis only for biological systems with material and energy flow.
Solving difficult problems well typically involves some form of root cause analysis. A novice looking at a broken thing may decide to simply replace it and move on with the day. You can mindlessly replace widgets very rapidly. A master looking at the same might be more inclined to ask "why" a few times and set up some additional calls with the customer.

I don't think this really has anything to do with "intelligence" as much as it does patience.
There are two options when it comes to knowing about aliens: "yes there are" and "we still don't know." Considering only one of those has any finality, theres a very large chance that the "we don't know" status quo continues for a very long time. It is highly unlikely that we know one way or another within 32 years.

From being on the school newspaper (nerd) with a ruthless English teacher as editor, I learnt the older style you just described.

Actually I learnt it by having large swathes of my text highlighted and deleted with an instruction "rewrite this".

I didn't realise how bad modern news is at this until you pointed it out. It's fairly common these days for me to start reading an article but still have little idea what it's about beyond the clickbait headline when I'm a third or a quarter way through an enormous read, so I just give up and leave.

I wonder when and why this changed?

Solving the housing problem at a municipal, county or state level doesn't make any sense, without adding internal passport controls and internal visas. Housing is a national problem that needs to be handled by the federal.

I have no problem using my Federal taxes to house the homeless. But I can't stand when my city tries to house people using my property taxes. It doesn't make any sense, they have no control over the inputs. It's creating an incentive at the national level to relocate to my city/county/state.
No one who lives in a $1mil+ home (absent subsidies) is middle class.
Guix's graft system is a hack specifically made to get security updates out ASAP. They should really only be seen as a last resort because it circumvents the primary benefit of using Guix as a functional build system (pure, reproducible builds). I'm not sure if Nix has a similar system.

IMHO I'd prefer to see compile-time caches like ccache or sccache be better integrated into Nix while still providing the guarantees that a functional build system provides. That alone would save massive amounts of compute power when rebuilding packages, as you'd essentially only need to recompile the files that change in a package. Not only on continuous build systems like Nix's Hydra, but also when just rebuilding packages locally. This won't solve the storage cost issue, but would definitely alleviate compute costs.
In this case it would be CHF.
They should rebrand it Data Impound Lot.
My linear algebra professor put a lot of effort into showing us the processes; how to do things, how and why they worked. Unfortunately they spent no time showing us how this stuff was actually used in the real world, and so for me it all went in one ear and out the other. A buddy of mine said that his professor spent about half an hour discussing some applications of linear algebra, and just that half hour lecture made the subject much more palatable.

Then a few years later, I took a computer graphics class for my CS degree, and we were learning how to render a 3D object on a 2D monitor. And of course we used linear algebra, and then it made perfect sense. I figure all the people in the math department that cared about practical applications had left to join the CS department, or EE, or Physics or whatever. So the math department, at least at my university, had only the people who just cared about the theory, which just didn't work for my brain.
Fail2ban can work on more than just sshd.
There is one case where I think DNSSEC provides a lot of value: domain validation for the purpose of issuing a TLS certificate.

To get a DV certificate, the most common kind, you just have to prove you own the domain. If someone can MitM the DNS request to verify domain ownership, then they can issue a certificate for your domain. Transperency logs help protect against this, as long as you are watching them, and notice the bad cert issued before too much damage is done. Granted, there isn't a big risk of MitM between the nameserver and the CA, hopefully with multiple locations. But a state actor might be able to do it.

Still, I'm not sure that is worth the complexity of DNSSEC. Especially since you really only need signed records for specific records.
