I don’t want to go to bed. Read me a cybersecurity bedtime story about AI hacking baddies with a heart of gold, written like a PR blast.

> Machine learning has the promise to improve our world, and in many ways it already has. However, research and lived experiences continue to show this technology has risks. Capabilities that used to be restricted to science fiction and academia are increasingly available to the public. The responsible use and development of AI requires…

Okay. This went downhill pretty fast, but let’s proceed from the basis that this wasn’t written by a GPT trained on landing pages and sentiment analysis.

TL;DR: We’ve got some gripers drowning out the hypers.

> Information security has a lot of useful paradigms, tools, and network access that enable us to accelerate responsible use in all areas.

Risk management frameworks… Threat intel… Critical control mapping… Threat modeling… Wait.. Did you just say “network access”?

Joe, Will… just one more question.

A banquet at your company regatta is being prepared by the executives’ personal AI chef. The guests are enjoying raw oysters. The entrée consists of boiled dog. How will that make your shareholders feel?
objectively no, but compared to what it was like in 2007...
Plus: many, many disciplines require memorization of quite a few facts to pass the course. CS included - you might have just had an easy time/forgotten about your freshman and sophomore courses that covered more basic elements like syntax, best practices, basic algos, etc.
Realistically, many people's bayesian priors are severely skewed against the lab leak hypothesis because it is associated with Donald Trump, and even intelligent people find it difficult to separate the message from the messenger.
I'm in LA and looking for potential co-founders for side projects. I have some vague ideas but nothing I'm set on. Leave your contact info.
How is it possible to be efficient in these points without a strong engineering background, especially if you are innovating? Discussions in points 1, 2 and 3 will only be note taking if you cannot concretely envision what the implementation could be and need to ask engineering everything that is not a generic or superficial feature. The non-technical PM I have worked with always turned up to be project managers drowning the engineering and design teams in meetings and processes.
Instead of replying in spirit the same message to various comments here, I generalized the skepticism in one. To people commenting that "experts had repeatedly suggested that it is unlikely to be a leak."

Experts, that is people studying in biochemistry/biology/virology labs were and will always be saying that it is likely. Working in such a lab without accidents would be a historical miracle.

That is one of the reasons working actively with
and producing bioweapons was "ditched" effectively by a lot of countries including the U.S. (Or at least I hope.)

I suggest starting with the wikipedia rabbithole.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare

Let us be clear:
Political announcers were saying it is unlikely for diplomatic/cover-our/their-asses reasons.

Recall/research the USSR/Russian anthrax in Yekaterinburg of 1979. To this day it is a closed off area.

No person that has worked in a lab would say "unlikely..."

Check the 2004-04 event.

P.S. Literally, we had a known leak in Taiwan in 2021 while they were trying to study the SARS-COV-2 virus.
> Should commit summaries describe the change, or the intent?

Yes.

Intent first, then a high level summary of the changes (if non-trivial).

Some programmers say that the code is the documentation and that comments in code are a "code smell". I strongly disagree.

The code is a communication between the programmer and the compiler, and leaves out intent. The code does what it does, right or wrong. But what we care about is what we intended the code to do, and why.

So intent is more important because the code could be wrong.
Nice strawman. In any case, I'd say that the old adage of confidence and being attractive (personality, presentation, etc) is more important than many of the things you're insecure about.
No, something doesn't need to be good to be useful or popular or persist, that presupposes a degree of pervasive thoughtfulness and rationality that simply do not exist in reality.

That's why you can't argue that a useless element (I'm using more convenient alternatives to scroll) is useful just because it's persisted for decades
Your command doesn't sort, only inverses the initial order. It's equivalent to

Less of a core vim tip, but since it's vim-style: I like to use ctrl shift H and L to move L/R between tabs in whatever terminal app I'm using.

(And since I'm open to learning other tips, I'm just going to say that this is the best method possible for navigating the tabs, period)

It's relatively known/accepted that these drugs have a different effect on people with ADHD and people without.

Did they just diagnose a bunch of people with ADHD through treatment?
> we cannot use effects related to quantum entanglement to communicate

ELI5 to a non-physicist why not? I thought this was possible, if Alice and Bob share an entangled pair of a set of particles (i.e. each has a clique of particles entangled with the other), and they pre-arrange an algorithm for determining the meaning of different states of their particles.

IIRC wasn't this the gist of the "wormhole" paper that went viral last year (which was criticized for being improperly named, but nonetheless demonstrated a method of "communication" between two locations given a prearranged algorithm for assigning meanings to different states of entanglement)?
This leaves the taste of chatgpt in one's mouth, whether you intended to or not.
The scrambles are computer generated and yes you can get lucky cases, which is why they are often taking averages as well.

Also, not everyone will solve every scramble the same way, since there's an element of decision making involved there, and future steps depend on previous ones.
Not at all. If you'd rather do hobbies, you do you.

However, I do find that most people don't have hobbies that they can spend 8+ hours a day on and remain happy doing them. I do, but that's not very typical.

My wife loves her work and the people she works with. So, that was fine, too.

Work also serves as a slight "forcing function" so that you kinda have to get up and do something even if you're a little not up for it while you would just blow off a hobby.

It's all about whatever keeps you going.
Predictions:

1) in 2050, the world will get its energy almost exclusively from renewable sources, with a combination of batteries, hydrogen, biogas, hydropower (conventional and pumped), and demand management used to cope with variability.

2) Energy, even taking into account transmission and firming costs, will be cheaper than it ever was.

3) Message boards will still be full of arguments over nuclear energy.
Here's shorter article.

The cost overrun is a global problem.

The five European Pressurized Reactors (EPRs) designed by French utility EDF have all suffered unanticipated issues that have led to costly delays and soaring price

Findings of a 2020 Massachusetts Institute of Technology analysis that found successive iterations of a new nuclear design generally cost more than the original project

Although a pair of Chinese EPRs have been completed and are generating power, one unit was shut down for more than a year because of faulty fuel rods.

Costs and delays have also plagued EPRs in France, the United Kingdom, and Finland, where the completion of the Olkiluoto 3 reactor has been delayed 17 years

The expectation is not necessarily to perform better on a test because of the medicine directly, but to be able to study more effectively and achieve a higher score as a result of being able to focus better on the required boring tasks. Of course it doesn't make you smarter directly.

So our technology and so on will magically ensure our ecosystem doesn't die? We will find ways not only to adapt ourselves, but also to keep plants from dying due to sudden changes in climate, to keep animals from dying whose food sources have died out? We'll find magical solutions for all of these problems, whose complexity we still aren't close to fully understanding?

I wish I could share your optimism.
Tires are certain height. You want a flat floor. And you want to maximise the surface area and the volume. As such only sensible option is to build above tires and for the full width. Thus the room in between.
> There's also the camp that noticed that everything the pro-nuclear propagandists say about the supposed upsides is either paltering or an outright lie

At this point, both camps are blatantly lying. That's the very nature of a polarized discussion that has lasted for decades with very few new elements.

I guess you can't blame GP for being sour about discussions he's had on that topic. But at the same time, it's kind of odd he didn't notice people from his own side peddling blatant lies.
Multiplying out the average time for the tasks, they spent about 25 minutes total. If their goal was to recreate the conditions where people take these drugs in non-medical settings, they failed. It is not when you have a half hour of puzzles, and someone sitting next to you and scoring your work. It's when you have 24 hours of work and 16 hours to do it.

Apply this sort of thinking to every facet of modern life, and we will have death by a thousand safety-conscious cuts. This article is based on eliciting an emotional response and by a statistical argument. Of course if we adopt the safety measures then things will be safer. "It's only $XXX. Doesn't that seem like a small amount?" "It's lives we're talking about. Why does money matter?" That's an emotional, illogical argument. Now multiply that amount by all of the areas where safety could be better, and all of a sudden, we start to see why things are the way that they are.

I'm very confused. What does this mean?
If you're actually interested in getting some of that muscle memory, my suggestion to people just getting started has always been to simply force yourself to use vi(m) for whatever you're working on and only learn one or two new things at a time. Say you've just learned gg and G to move to the beginning or end of the file. Whenever you find yourself wanting to move to the beginning or end, use your new command. Don't try to learn any more until gg and G have become second nature (or unless you find you don't really use it often enough to justify committing it to memory; it will happen). Then figure out what your next biggest slowdown or frustration is and figure out the "vim way" of doing that and add that to your repertoire. Rinse and repeat. If you do even a moderate bit of coding, it really doesn't take long to learn enough to improve your speed/efficiency. It may feel slow and frustrating at first, but in my experience, and for everyone I've "coached" on vim, it's a pretty small hump to get over if you just stick with it.

By the time you've got 20+ years doing this, you'll have a workflow that is extremely well suited to your needs/preferences. And that's the nice thing with vim; it will always have room for you to expand your skills with it, but you don't have to know even close to all of it to benefit from it. Use what fits your needs and what helps; the rest is just candy.

Espressif is taking quite a radical approach as compared to other semiconductor companies. They provide everything from a Cloud SaaS for their chips, to open source phone apps that connect over BLE/WiFi to their chips, reference hardware designs, integrations with voice assistants, and more. Typically, semiconductor companies have shied away from providing anything comprehensive because they don't want to upset their distributors and partners who provide the missing services - but not Espressif.

I think if the US-China chip war hadn't been going on, and customers wouldn't have been paranoid of using a Chinese chip (and being in a tough spot like Huawei customers), Espressif chipsets would be waaaaay more popular.

>Would it be feasible to clone Reddit (the site) and populate it with content scraped directly from Reddit?

Lol, no; this is why I rarely worry about developers encroaching on operations concerns. A completely trustworthy site (https://backlinko.com/reddit-users#how-many-comments-are-pub...) states that that reddit had 303 million posts and 2 billion comments, in 2020. Could you imagine, how long it would take, and how much you would need to spend, on compute, to scrape 5+ million comments a day, using something like Selenium? I am guessing that it's a number approaching infinity. Plus, they would figure it out and just shut you down.

The real problem seems to be lack of standards in manufacturing industry to raise the quality bar across the supply chain to the nuclear levels. If all regular factories of cooling systems and valves and pipes and concretes were operating to meet interoperability and quality standards set by regulatory bodies then the cost of meeting such high quality bar would be amortized over large number of things. Also, the "indirect" costs can be significantly optimized with today's tech – especially with more AI-infused software systems. I think this pattern of the problem is seen in many industries – of lack of regulations for enforcing interoperability requirements and setting quality bar high enough to meet a large number of critical use-cases. We don't build as many big and amazing things anymore, not as much as we used to.

I don’t see how these are different from any of the usual platitudes everyone commonly uses. I’d worry about everyone sounding the same but nevermind because we all use the same turns of phrase already.
Honestly, the best resources I know are the ISA/architecture manuals directly from each vendor (Intel, AMD, Arm) for the various CPUs and/or GPUs of interest. Prior to that, my experience largely comes from doing (working with lower level code, benchmarks, looking at assembly, profiling hardware counters, etc.).

> I also didn’t mean to strawman you about zero regulation.

Fair enough, mainly because I'm not the person you were originally discussing with :)

Going backwards, “we should have good regulations and not bad ones” is a very general, to the point of meaningless opinion (as you point out) but the actual opinion is "regulations tend to increase their ill effects as their limits on competition increase" i.e. lack of competition correlates with things like bad corner cutting, to the point that I would posit that it's a cause.

So, if we take that and steel man that case - zero regulation means you and I can both start touting our nuclear power station designs, and that would be bad. On the other hand, no one is going to employ either of us because there is competition that is clearly better. Still, I'm sure there are some health/work/environmental regulations that would/should be introduced that would also limit competition and kick us out of the market *but* wouldn't limit it to a monopoly or an effective cartel.

Contrasting that with regulatory capture that does produce a monopoly or an effective cartel (or more likely, is the result of regulations, shall we say… encouraged by incumbents to protect or produce a monopoly or cartel), we end up with say 2 or 3 giant companies that no one can compete with because of their size and the regulations protecting them, then they can do what they want and the kind of good regulations that you and I might both agree on are actually cut or ignored.

Banking, might be a good example. They do something wrong, who bails them out? Why not let them die? Why is it so hard to even enter the market? Why do we see so many financial giants engage in wrongdoing and yet so few receive punishment?

We can't turn to anyone else, that's why. 1 doctor on a ship who's a murderer, lock them in their cabin, but what do you do when someone needs surgery? You let them out. 100 doctors on a ship and 1 is a murderer… you lock them up and then pick the best doctor.
Our society - and your life - are controlled far more by culture and far less by material scarcity/“innate human nature” than most people believe, at least partially because the powerful perpetuate the phenomenon wherever they can. How would your mortgage change if the whole city/country/world decided that they shared some meaningful goals?

Plus, more fundamentally, I think most people intuitively find knowledge itself valuable. Even if bringing much joy to many people doesn’t erase mortgages, this dismissive attitude seems unjustified. Imo
vim is still very hostile to multilingual users with multiple keyboard layouts. You have to switch to a Latin layout before using any commands and switch back in order to input command arguments or go back to text input. Yes, remaps do exist but that's still a partial solution that doesn't work in all contexts. Nah. I can use a slightly less capable editor that keeps commands cleanly separated from the input language.
Another issue is that commands are utterly unergonomic, requiring lots of rapid Shift presses/releases, and mistakes can lead to destructive consequences.
In These cases I'd recommend text objects. For example,

Will delete everything inside parentheses and put you in insert mode.

Even works for HTML tags with t I think.

Edit: should be ci) to preserve the parentheses.

This is why here in Finland most large construction projects have in their contract with the main supplier/builder a limit on how many layers of sub contractors is allowed. This is 2 or 3 for most projects.

This makes communication chains much shorter which usually leads into better end result. Also when things go wrong finding who is at fault is easier and it is more likely to be some big company that actually has money/proper insurance to be able to take care of it instead of some 2 or 3 person company that caused a multimillion fuckup and thus they would just go bankrupt instead of paying.
