My research (ML for binary function recognition) uses obfuscation and diverse compilation for data augmentation.

Intuitively, obfuscation is a form of anti-optimization. My hope is that it's differentiable, so perhaps given enough knowledge of obfuscation, an ML model can make corresponding optimizations to "undo" them, then for more performance, apply those same un-obfuscations to code that hasn't already been obfuscated.

Especially since - and this is the part that makes it feel most like an ad - it's really seems only to be for certain big brands. "Street name, street name, street name, WENDY'S, street name..."

Yes. Now would you be willing to answer my question? I'm trying to figure out whether we disagree over a matter of where precisely to draw a line, or if the very idea of the line is antithetical.
Ouch! Folks across the street own a bike shop and sponsor an annual criteruim. Last year there was a crash right in front of our house - touch of wheels I suppose. There's a slight hill at the end of the street and I guess the riders could have been going in excess of 30 mph or more. No one badly hurt AFAIK but one bike had a broken frame. In this case no fancy equipment was required to detect the flaw. :-/

I’m adamantly against any union who’s members are employees paid by tax dollars. Doesn’t matter if it’s police, fire, teachers or dog catchers.

Having a collective bargaining agreement where one side of the table isn’t on the hook for the actual bill invariably ends up with self preserving administrative bureaucracy.

In the case of Google Search, it's a single result from a data source they control... Largely ads are that way too.

Going back a bit, before Google ate ad-space, the method was a somewhat obtuse bidding cycle for ad display that would then pass around the request via iframe from system to system to finally display an ad. You'd often see upwards of 8-10 layers of IFrame before the actual ad, each one loading a fair amount of JS, that dramatically outweighed even the heaviest of modern JS SPA application tooling.

It's still largely how it's done, but google will share info with google, and it has gotten faster. But ad displays cross network are anything but fast, sub 1s or for that matter light.

This is also a question of BREAKING UP google into smaller companies from the single ad-space within Google/Alphabet itself. Which complicates things.

> This leads to the systemic racism we see in policing

It allows for it, but doesn't inherently lead to it. But I do agree that overbearing laws and relying on leniency makes for a terrible system. I'd be all for changing speed limits to be sensible with how people actually drive [0], and then zero tolerance enforcement (including for cops). But that isn't the world we live in now. And electing into being a martyr isn't going to change that - cops will just sort you personally into the "bad" person bucket and carry on with their prejudices.

> Also the point in the video is that this never works aside from the most absolute mundane of traffic stops, and even then you're putting yourself at risk. Did you watch it?

Not in the last 10 years, and yes I am talking about the most mundane of traffic stops. IMO the main risk comes from people spilling their internal narrative that justifies what they did, thinking that will convince a cop. "I was only speeding because I was late" etc. Don't do that! Or obviously if you have contraband in the car or are under the influence, engage as little as possible! But if that is the case then you shouldn't have been casually violating the law to begin with (and so there should be much less to hope for leniency for)....

> If someone burst into my home right now and robbed me, I still would not call the police

I'd say this is a quite uncommon perspective - I would guess that you have had repeated very poor interactions with the police. And I say this as someone who has been wrongly arrested (aka kidnapped), detained for a night (aka ransomed), and then harassed for a year by the "justice" system. I've still called the cops since then. I'm just not the kind of person who wants to get physically aggressive, which is what would otherwise be required to DIY.

I thought that was well known, it's not like they were secretive about it, in fact they openly advertised it. Their sales pitch, I think was, that many customers ran Oracle software on RHEL, and this way they would have a single provider of support for both the OS and the software running on it.

Given Oracle's rather well-earned reputation, that does not sound like an attractive proposal to me, but there's a chance orgs that are on the hook for anything Oracle already might not share that assessment.

IIRC, Oracle's move to eat part of Red Hat's lunch was considered the reason Red Hat stopped making the kernel source available in the form of mainline tree + patches, thus making it less convenient for Oracle's staff to provide support at the same level of expertise as Red Hat, but I don't think anyone working at Red Hat has commented on this on the record.
The "*fakes" are those what really scary. Usually day by day, normal population won't interact much farther than miles / kilometers from their work / home / travel path, the rest of info we got from digital media. Now that if we cannot trust the digital media, our ability to gather information for making decision will get worse.

Let's say that nowadays I know that US has gun/ mass shooting problem from the digital news. But how when someday the media reporting that multiple countries, such as some EU countries and Canada also have mass shooting due to the change of gun laws, sooner or later we'll won't know the truth anymore.

This is very dangerous because it can be used to manipulate people to accept what's bad as normal, and can argue then provide proof that's generated by AI.

Hopefully we won't need to experience that issue.

I can understand how people come to this conclusion.

Anecdotally, I know several people who regret ever using Adderall. To be fair, I also know a number of people who regret ever using caffeine. Compare to, for example, I don't think I know anyone who regrets taking Aleve for their headaches.

So I would categorize both Adderall and caffeine as "having some downsides". The main reason that I do support caffeine is that I know many people who happily drink coffee as part of their everyday life, and just a few who regret it, and I personally like to drink coffee. For Adderall my anecdotes are more mixed, closer to 70-30 against.

Obviously these are unscientific. I could be wrong. Perhaps in 50 years we will learn more and it will become clear that Adderall is good for the brain, or that caffeine is bad for it. But, right now, to me, the state of the science is such that I find it less convincing than anecdotes from my personal network.

I do, and I switch to to my Birkenstocks at work, as my feet can breathe way better in them and it also gives my sneakers an ~8h rest to stay smell-free and cool until I have to go home and put them back on.

Continuously wearing the same pair of sneakers for about 10h per day is ... not great. My feet would be in a swampy sweat broth.
> My anecdote is that I gained absolute pitch by playing on a Yamaha keyboard as a young child.

I have a similar anecdote. I had a small Casio keyboard that I gave to my daughter to play with when she was 3 or 4. There was no training or any kind of instruction beyond that. It was just another toy that was in her pile of toys and it wasn't something she played with very often.

Many years later, we are in a music store and I hit a key on a piano and she tells me it's wrong. I didn't really understand what she was saying and then we found out the keyboard had some pitch shift mode enabled and she was right. That's the day we found out she had perfect pitch.

If I remember correctly, they've also moved around the "No thanks" over the years. I seem to remember the "No thanks" option being below the "Enjoy Prime for FREE for blah ..." area a while back. I could swear the prompt changes sometimes between this more standard screenshot above, and some weird pitch geared specifically towards college students, where the "No thanks" option is considerably harder to see.

I was trying to reproduce the prompt that I was thinking of and found an equally obnoxious prompt:

If you accidentally click on prime, you are shown this

Which makes it seem like you can't even remove the "free" Prime trial, unless you look extremely closely.

Alternatively, if you do click on free shipping, but not on Prime free shipping, you get a popup showing this

Which defaults to trying to steal any gift card balance you have in order to pay for Prime.

No, it's not.

I think this is a useful framing. North Koreans have the brains, the organisational skills, and the drive to build an ICBM and a bomb, in spite of the fact that most of the rest of the world is against them, and most of their own people don’t even have enough to eat. Rather like the last white South African administration in that regard (although I believe they had some help from a friend with their free fall bombs), who had enough to eat but were sanctioned heavily but still managed to operate functioning cities.

What are you talking about? The progressive left frequently talks about the past be being better when it comes to the worlds increasing wealth inequality and how wages stagnated.

Can you stop speaking in strawmen and make an actual point? Are you dancing around an assertion that apartheid was better for South Africa?
Sorry man. Just asking an honest question. It's interesting to me that one can hold two opposing ideas and see no issue:

- History has demonstrated clear value in discovering and understanding concepts that have no practical use today

- One should not care to understand things that have no practical use today

Seems bizarre to think both things. That's why I asked.
It shows how closed the world the author lives in that they think “cis” is commonly used.
I think it's hard to get people to give credence to experts whose claims can be demonstrated to be outlandish. E.g. James Anderson, famously known for helping to discover and mitigate the Antarctic ozone holes in the late 20th century, said in 2018 that the chance there will be any permanent ice left in the Arctic by 2022 is "essentially zero"[0].

Yet a NASA site reports that in September 2022 (when the most recent measurement was taken), the Arctic sea ice minimum extent was ~4.67 million square kilometers. [1]

To be very explicit: I'm not saying that climate change doesn't exist. I'm not saying that Arctic sea ice is not diminishing (the NASA site says it's diminishing at ~12% per decade). I'm not saying that the Nobel prize is a good indicator of expertise.

I'm saying specifically that I believe it's more difficult to convince people to trust a source making claims of negative consequences when those consequences are less bad than the source says.

An analogy I might use is drugs (specifically in the US). I've heard a few people, who went through an anti-drug education program forced on them in their adolescence by parents/teachers, mention that marijuana was portrayed as just as bad as other, harder drugs. Then, when they went on in high school and college to smoke weed and discovered that they did not ruin their lives by getting stoned a few times a week, or even every day, they subsequently gave less credence to what the anti-drug advocates were saying.

Yeah I really think people are way out over their skis if they think that Red Hat/IBM doesn't have at least a somewhat justifiable case to make here. You can still disagree, but at least you need to admit that you can understand why they would be pissed about something like Rocky. They do offer downloads of RHEL for free (or is that gone too?) for anybody not using it commercially, this isn't some poor student cloning RHEL because they couldn't afford it or anything like that.
In the same spirit of toe socks, I wonder if there are also penis pants?
As a professional musician, this made me very uncomfortable for more reasons than I could easily count. Mainly, it seems to inflate the utility of absolute pitch. Some pros have it, other do not. Some composers have it, other do not. It really isn’t considered a mark of musical ability or competence.

I’m a pianist and lack absolute pitch. My violinist daughter has infallibly accurate absolute pitch; but even with bowed instruments where it would seem to be an incredible asset, it’s less useful than one would think because you’re still always playing into the ensemble. You’re matching a consensus pitch within a changing harmonic context. That’s without getting into tuning systems, etc…

There’s also something just a little reductionist about the whole enterprise of teaching your kids to have absolute pitch somewhat in isolation. (Yes, there’s something about playing Chopin etc. It just reads like an experiment in trying to develop musicianship by isolating one of a thousand parts rather than developing it holistically and organically.)
I actually doubt this, but you have to be very particular. You can't just go to the grocery store and pick up a free-range label. But e.g. my local farmer's market has a guy who is definitely pasture-raised chickens with the $$$ to match.
The article is bemoaning this tendency,not celebrating it.
> I don’t understand what game IBM is playing with Red Hat.

And this is yet another part of the reason why I don't understand the big push for RedHat specific tooling. Podman comes up a lot. But, just like with everything RHEL it seems as though RedHat / IBM wants to be the Apple of Linux. I'm not a fan of that. I also don't believe IBM is a good steward of OSS based on how I've seen them try to sell it in the enterprise.
