Ah. That's helpful.

It's peer to peer, but not trustless. There's a moment in the transaction at which one party can default. So they need a reputation and dispute resolution system.[1]

You'd think there would be trustless decentralized exchanges by now.
Ones have been proposed.[2] Some even exist. It's possible to have a truly trustless exchange where orders are smart contracts on a blockchain, transactions are atomic swaps, and at no moment does a third party have custody of anything. This is called an "on-chain order book". It's rarely seen, because it's slow, lacks liquidity providers, and is subject to front-running. Also, nobody makes a billion dollars running one. Most so-called "decentralized exchanges" turn out not to be totally trustless inside.

Criticism of open office plans was almost a trope (there's a software book from the 90s that rips into them), but in the years before Covid, companies doubled-down, removing partitions and implementing full hot-desking.

I think those horrible, noisy environments would have led to a backlash sooner rather than later. Now any complaints about open plan offices will just be dismissed as people whining about not being able to WFH.
Naturally, the full text of Harry Potter would appear in the training corpus, but why would frequency matter, and why would multiple copies get put in there intentionally?
Also known as "trying to earn a living"
That makes it harder for PG&E to gouged customers!
My team does 0 days in and 5 days WFH and it works really well, especially since we're located in 15 different countries and 37 different cities.
hot tea, already.

But what's their angle anyway?
GCP doesn't have Github as a funnel.

Google also invented "cloud" and is in last place. Invention counts for little.

Google is over-run with MBAs who are busy complecting and burning their employer to the ground while cycling back into the competition (Azure and AWS).
As far as I know the Aranet uses NDIR CO2 sensor modules from SenseAir. We do use the same brand in our DIY kits and they are very accurate and probably one of the best low-cost CO2 sensors.

While what you're saying is true, you can only type around 800 English words on the home row using QWERTY. You can type thousands using Dvorak, so mastering the Dvorak home row would gain you more than mastering the QWERTY home row. Dvorak is simply a better-thought-out layout.
When I lived in Chelsea, Google contacted me and insisted I fly out to San Francisco for a curated tour of Mountain View

“Where leadership roles had to be”

I said I wanted to walk to work to the giant billion dollar office down the street, I love Chelsea, I love the Meatpacking District, I love the Highline and the things around that office, I love models

But “roles with direct reports had to be in mountain view” and they assured me I would be so impressed with the highly coveted Mountain View and highly coveted Google

the only thing seared in my brain from that trip was standing at an elevator that had a warning sign that I might get cancer if I use it, in the middle of a sprawling boring unwalkable suburb and a janitor being my best source at the time that its a boilerplate disclaimer. He was right. But that was my experience.

That's a giant mess free-for-all though.

There is more of a point to actual learning than to create a language model.
I have a friend who did it that way, but I’ve never done it myself.
For the most part, Apple already had what people wanted even before Cook took over. They iterated on those and their market valuation grew.

My question is how is the "value" of 90% of Apple's market valuation "created"? How come a single day in any company can see their "value" rise by 24%? What of value is created with an announcement that wasn't there the day ago?
> My work uses Microsoft SSO for everything. Passkeys aren't enabled though. And management won't enable them on Azure AD.

I don't think they're actually available on AzureAD. That thing tends to lag like crazy in actual security features. FIDO support is relatively newish. IIRC it was generally available around the end of 2022. Only recently, you no longer have to register a phone number for password reset (which is different from login, mind (SSPR)).

> they enable the tried and tested and ultra secure method of SMS based 2FA with a password

This isn't actually that much worse than the MS recommended way of using their crappy authenticator. They even allow passwordless sign-in with that thing! The prompt doesn't tell you anything useful apart from "login with <account>?". Now, at least, they prompt you for a number you see on screen. It doesn't help with phishing, but at least you know the request comes from what you're doing, not someone else, since it also tended to drop any request if another one was pending.
Not true, you don’t have the same stability as person owning a house does.

You always have to be prepared to move, can’t change stuff without landlords approval, can’t buy nice stuff (good luck moving your 80 inch TV with your nice leather couch).
It seems a lot of air quality monitors, such as the PurpleAir PA-II [1] , are just wrapping the Plantower PMS5003 [2], which is a turnkey particle sensor which integrates laser sensors, airflow, and MCU to perform measurements and spit out results on a serial bus.

I'm pretty surprised by the lack of diversity in the "consumer" market.

Slashdot should be a harbinger to Reddit. Community can just leave. Reddit is happily shutting out very active partners instead of working with them.
The line you quoted doesn't mean they know the password. But this one does:

> Fortunately I'm attuned enough to decline them.

There is only something to decline if they know your password.
> "as well as 1Password"

1Password does not support PassKeys.

They have announced the intention to, but outside of beta releases it's not there yet.
Probably something like Flooz-2023
In many genres of game, frame rate makes a huge difference in the ability to control the game and catch what's happening. Framerate is probably the worst thing you could have picked to mock when you're making an argument about enjoyment. Especially when citing an FPS.
Yes, definitely want to add something in those lines, where the AI detects your level and adapts in more than one way.

What's amazing to me is you have an entire modscene of young or amateur programmers uploading binary code to god-knows-where and this is the first time this sort of thing has happened (that I can recall)

What's the security like on Steam workshop? Or Nexusmods? Gaming and modding is still rife with lots of little "here download my exe from this forum post and give it a run please".

Pretty much every game I play modded ends up with some kind of support framework DLL that tons of other mods build from. I am amazed that that has still not really blown up in our faces here in 2023.
As a web user who relies on controlling DNS in order to "block" ads and telemetry, among other things, and having done so since before "ad blockers" existed, I have long theorised this is why DNS is continually effective for me in successfully avoiding web developer shenanigans. Generally, DNS is a blind spot for web developers. And it appears likely to remain so for the forseeable future.

It’s like a triggered phase change from a super heated or cooled state. Something triggers the start and the state shifts very quickly. In this case the Covid supply shock was the seed.
We created a cheap effective DIY positive pressure system and it’s been working well for about a year now.

What exactly are they violating? Isn't running a binary with a bash script ok?
The last time I used Microsoft Authenticator (which was quite a few years ago), I noticed it would send me a request regardless of whether the correct password was entered or not. I suppose this is one of those "security by obscurity" type measures where they don't want to reveal whether the password was correct or not before MFAing. However, this results in non-stop requests because every few hours someone somewhere in the world attempts to penetrate my MS account.

This became so tiresome that I disabled MFA. Here's a hot take: if your MFA solution fatigues people to the point they disable MFA, you have a problem.

Also, I'm wondering if the OP might be referring to passwordless "Approve this login request" notifications rather than plain old MFA, where someone just needs to enter your email address and hope you approve the login request. Not sure if MS does this, but I know other apps that do.
You Shouldn’t Invest in Vector Databases?
Where in Europe? It's not a big place, but there are some pretty major regional differences, even within countries.
No, we only tested with true HEPA filters.

One important thing to point out with PPS systems is that you need to get the air from fully polluted to zero polluted in ONE pass as unlike air purifiers, there is no recirculation. So the filter quality is super important.
I wouldn't expect it to be independent of truthfulness. The Cobra Effect [0] suggests that offering a reward for something, in this case public airing of testimony, increases the likelihood of false testimony given the absence of any truthful testimony.

Well, it's probably an outlier on the general trend on a ten-year timescale, most climate stories on a regional basis seem to fall into that category. Of course, ten years from now we'll have something worse... But that's not something we can really control, any action we take on climate even the most drastic won't have any real effect for about 30-70 years at least.

Sci-fi interpretation: Humans are a highly aggressive species derived from predatory apes, given to unpredictable violence, not very capable of long-term planning. Quarantined by alien civilizations for that reason.
Since they talked about the authenticator app, it depends on how it's set up. You can enable it for passwordless logins, so you'd get the prompt for knowing the account name.
Growing up with a poor diet and lack of nutrients will make your skin look bad, you won’t grow as tall, and you’ll be overall less attractive. Many environmental factors directly contribute to one’s’ perceived attractiveness.
I've seen people terrified at the idea of speaking (hell, I experienced it myself decades ago.) It's not always even a matter of level. People with good grammar and a lot of vocabulary will have zero ease speaking for lack of practice.

On the other hand, at some point, my super limited Hungarian (of maybe 300 to 600 words?) was getting me praise just because I could use the little I knew without thinking.

”Practice, practice, practice!…”
If you're going to use an ML model, you might as well use an existing language translation model rather than asking ChatGPT or the like to convert words one by one. You'd probably get better results treating American English and British English as entirely different languages rather than assuming one is the same as the other but with a handful of different words.
The big question we should be asking ourselves, particularly in a mostly virtual service economy, is why it is the people that have to move and not the businesses that need the people.

Why do we have a society where social standing is determined by how far away from your mum you have to live to get a job?

Ultimately this will be determined in the marketplace. The best thing a startup can do at present is master remote management. Then it can get good people cheap.
Reddit announces plan to lay off 90 workers as subreddits plan mass protest
I mean, if you want to waste your money, fine. The question is whether encouraging residential PV is good policy. I don't think it is in most cases (maybe if it allows homes to be totally disconnected from the grid, saving the cost of running lines out to them?)
Layoffs are largely avoidable: stay profitable, avoid expanding too fast, treat employees well, and (time vested) worker-owned co-op.
whoa. Thank you! Just enabled this for my ublock extension. Don't see a difference yet, but I'm psyched for any chance to up my ublock usage.

Even if the full text is fully deduplicated, there is just so much more content about Harry Potter on the internet. And not just retellings of it, but discussion of it, mentions of it, bits of information that convey context about the Harry Potter story, each instance of which will help further strengthen and detail the concept of Harry Potter during training.
Offices don't even supply offices anymore and haven't for decades. They're clearly not fit for purpose.

There's a reason why 10x engineers inevitably work evenings and weekends, and, if they have any social acumen, manage to get themselves excused from most workday time wasting rituals, including showing up at the office.
13 FPS, so not really "playable" at Ultra settings for that resolution.

That being said, that it works at all is pretty amazing. :)
I think good UI means a user can understand what is possible from the beginning, without learning through trial and error. That’s why AI chatbots are bad UI in my opinion.
You might have some swirl on exit causing some dirty air to be pulled in the front against the filter.
Oh, just relax, it'll eventually blow away as winter sets in. And in about 5-10 years, another episode like this, maybe on top of a severe drought, will occur. It'll be a bit worse than this one. And so on.

Humans are just a step up from chimpanzees, and long-term planning doesn't seem to be what evolution has selected for.
You are right. But it's the same roundabout way that git is using.

Older version control systems like subversion used to store diffs.

Users of Git care a lot of about diffs between versions. And typically treat a specific commit as if it was a diff. Commands like 'git cherry-pick' re-inforce that notion.

However, internally each git commit is a complete snapshots of the state of the repository. Diffs are created on the fly as derived data.

Now even more internally, git does store snapshots as mostly as deltas. But to close the circle: those deltas have nothing to do with the diffs that users see.

This sounds very roundabout, but results in a simple and performant system, that doesn't ask the user to make compromises.

My suggestion for static libraries was along the same lines, if a bit clumsier.
Yes, this is what I am doing in my house. Pump the cleaned fresh air into the peripheral rooms (mostly bedrooms) and then this actually pressures the whole house (living room, bathrooms etc).
I think Loki is pretty much the easiest thing you can find (if you want it to be multi server, at least).
Loki whole approach comes down to avoiding expensive indexing (compared to Elastic search et all.), and really on "grep" for searching instead.
“highly coveted Mountain View” lmao
What was the filtration level of the filter system? What was the orientation/positioning?

I’m wondering if the airflow was in a loop but not mixing the entire room, or the filter wasn’t Hepa (or close), or it wasn’t reaching its claimed throughput/filtration, etc.

I recently installed a Merv13+Merv16 filter on my newly upgraded HVAC system and am able to drive PM2.5 to 0 with a minimal fan setting of roughly 2ACH. (Granted, we haven’t had wildfire smoke that strongly since installing it, but I induce bad air from time to time and it cleans it up quickly.)
As a law abiding citizen, my willingness to put in extra effort to avoid law enforcement is pretty low.
For me its I don’t go to toxic YouTube channels as much these days. I don’t erratically go through diff black holes of content. I watch the same sort of stuff. I usually will stop watching a channel if I notice the vibe in the comments are off (like justifications for bigotry but veiled as moral)
We're talking about wrong as in Galileo, as in radically upending, not modifications or normal gradients of wrongness. Knowledge is generally accretive, but we pay a lot of emotional and categorical attention to perspectives that break dogma. The vast majority absolutely do not, and they fade innumerably into the background of the industry they support.

It's easy (and trite) to cite the extremely limited pool of successful dogma-contrarians over time. Try making a list of the failed contrarians, and then another of all the knowledge (and its contributors) that didn't need fundamental reconsideration at some point in modernity.

Build an Uptime Monitoring System in Ruby with GCE, Cloud Storage, and PubSub
Temperature is such a personal thing; it's almost impossible to satisfy an entire group: some like it hotter, some colder, some in-between. On average women get cold quicker then men. I always have the problem that it's either too hot or that there's not enough fresh air (one office didn't even have windows or AC, it was horrible and I had a headache by 2pm every day, mostly due to lack of fresh air).

Personal offices is the best solution; I had a job that did that. It was brilliant. it's also fairly rare unfortunately.

This might be just the platform to attempt this (of course, I need to source the haptic glove elsewhere)

Creativity: producing what is novel + valuable

Systematizable: can be enumerated via algorithmic operations

"As others have mentioned": that is not an argument

"not everyone else who already knows": also not an argument

Now, my point is that creativity as defined above requires a burden of proof to be defined as systemetizable. For instance, mathematical leaps are often achieved by a spark of "creativity" which breaks existing structures in a way which is difficult to grasp, and to call this systemetizable is a leap that requires a complex argument calling upon deep notions of computational theory and computational neuroscience (like producing a topological map of the creative structure of the brain and proving that it can be mimicked by a listable process).

Now, to apply this to art in a convincing way would surely be even harder. Do you at least understand my point? Or is "brain = physics = creative" satisfactory enough for you still? Thanks for reading in good faith this time. :)
I’ve tried Dvorak and Colemak but went back to QWERTY. Whole software world is developed with QWERTY in mind, and it was too much PITA.

Split keyboard (especially with ortholinear, column staggered layout) will give you much more benefit than any alternative layout - and will be much easier to switch too.
Agreed on this. It is partly the commute, but also the environment you end up in. I used to work for a FAANG in “cube-ville USA”. It was dark and demoralizing. There were great views out of the windows, but you couldn’t see them through your cubicle walls. A bunch of us took the top panels down so we could enjoy the sunlight and view, but quickly got in trouble with facilities. It was fairly miserable. Until they moved us to a team room with zero windows. That was worse. I left soon after.
Passkeys are just a standard protocol, i.e. there'd just be a single "Use Passkey" button.
Dutch Privacy watchdog seeks clarification from ChatGPT on handling of data
When I asked above, I was thinking about the problem of locating someone who you know well, but you just have no clue where they are. Something along the lines of nationwide decades-long hunt for the Unabomber, but in an alternate timeline where 1. his identity and his DNA (or his brother's) were known, but his location was not, and 2. he did not live in an off-grid cabin, but instead somewhere connected to a wastewater treatment plant, or regularly showed up in one.

It's a far-fetched scenario, but I don't know enough about the breakdown of DNA in wastewater to know if it'd be possible to locate him via this method. If he wasn't shedding a unique strain of a virus, let's say, but where his genetics are known.

This researcher explained to a reporter how they conducted a binary search of sewer lines from the treatment plant, all the way back to a single manhole which was only fed by a single employer with 30 employees. I just don't know if this is only possible using viral RNA, or if anyone's DNA would be possible to search on in a similar manner. For good public health reasons, we're likely to have continual wastewater surveillance at all major plants going forward - I just don't know how far it could be pushed.
