ISRG / Let's Encrypt | General Counsel | Half Time | Fully Remote

If you’re an attorney looking for a flexible half-time position with great work/life balance and a mission that matters, this could be the job for you!

Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) has changed the Internet for nearly everyone using it. You’d be our next staff member (our 24th), joining a highly motivated and future-focused organization. We make the Internet more secure and privacy-respecting. Our largest project, Let’s Encrypt, helps more than 300 million websites protect their visitors. We operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit so we can stay focused on what’s best for the people using the Internet. This model lets us take on tough problems and we’ve built up the staff capability to do it.

All behaviour (management or individuals) is determined by goals and objectives.

I don't think anyone in management turns up thinking I want to create the most toxic work environment and work only with folks who are not good at anything or need the whip. Even the best intrinsically motivated people need an environment and challenge to rise to the occasion of doing their best work. Sometimes it's peer competition, at other times it's unreasonable deadlines.

On an individual level our desires and goals are fairly mimetic. Our motivation to do work is a function of our desires, goals and the difficulty level of the problem. A bunch of the observations around theory x/theory y doesn't account for what individual motivation is and how is it derived.

A lot of this literature stems from older generational simpler classification models around how to influence human motivation. In classical Indian literature, a famous Indian philosopher Chanakya talks about Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed to get things done. Translated it means - persuasion, price, penalty and coercion to get things done.

While philosophically we can lean in on similar models applied to management - the key here is a lot of these theoretical models need evolution to really apply to individuals and situations.
I’m just old enough to remember when C and Pascal were called high-level languages.

“C is actually assembly” was quite a plot twist from there.
> Given abc->abd, what does xyz go to? ChatGPT says xyd until you further prompt it.

Because you chose to phrase it in a way predictably broken by BPEs (https://gwern.net/gpt-3#bpes), like so many character-based puzzles people 'disprove' GPT with, as Melanie Mitchell already demonstrated with your exact example 3 years ago: https://twitter.com/MelMitchell1/status/1285270704313610241
Had the same reaction as soon as I found out pyATS is a cisco-specific thing. I run very simple networks for events on shoestring hardware/budgets and built a simple wrapper around my own object model using python, jinja and napalm to deploy cisco switches via SSH. Has terraform-like semantics (plan/apply) and lets me be productive and eliminate config drift. Napalm does all of the heavy lifting, it is fantastic. I will probably be integrating it with netbox soon.
There is a component in contentment that I think is lacking in complacency...that of general happiness. So to me, they are not the same.

As someone who has a growth mindset I can assure you that in corporations like Microsoft or Intel (I worked at the latter), one's own personal growth is not only fostered, but highly encouraged.

Corporate life ain't for everyone and I get that. As a 56 year-old being squeezed out of the marketplace due to ageism, some of us aren't just after the highest pay or the most prestige at our jobs.
Any compression pressure gradient that causes the N-layer composite to yield beyond its natural elasticity, and causes any breakdown of level 1 in the N-layer matrix allowing intrusion of fluid beyond that level, has now caused a permanent failure.

You now have a vessel of effective thickness N-1 (the outer layer will be sheared away and lost).

However, your new N-1 layer vessel now has an average pressure gradient across N-1 instead of N layers, increasing the deflection of the remaining layers, resulting in accelerated cracking, failure and loss of the next layer.

This all occurs over < ~1 millisecond at an 800bar pressure differential.

This failure mode is radically different than the failure modes of carbon fiber composites under tension. The capacity of such vessels for compression vs. tension is so comparatively low that it would be deemed effectively zero in most cases.
I do. I am beginning to feel the costs though. Even telling people that I don't have one is getting a bit awkward. Imagine the look of incomprehension.

A lot of people talk about 'needing' a smartphone for services/stuff I have never used, and probably would never use. I suppose I just kept living my life as I did before the 2010s, while everyone else changed. I was already in my 30s at that time, so not subject to the same social pressures a younger person would have felt, so perhaps it was easier.
It seems they are really against VR gaming. No controllers, nothing shown in the announcement video. They apparently really want to focus on their immersive AR desktop. But who wants to pay $3500+ for ... floating screens?
That's partially why I don't want to pay for YT Premium right now... The ads are getting really bad, always being placed at the worst moment of a video, and I don't want to reward YT for destroying my user experience. They made their product worse, just to force me to pay $15/mo because I'd get so frustrated with how bad it has gotten.
There are 10 problems in computer science: we only have two jokes, and one of them is bad.
Please lay off the ad hominems. And read the other posts that led me to characterize their view as hate.
An electricity-only market isn’t unusual. France, Spain, Italy, and the UK created capacity markets only recently (in 2017, 2021, 2018, and 2014, respectively). Germany specifically decided against creating one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22146....

OP is imputing some ideological aspect to ERCOT’s design, but electricity-only markets versus an electricity-plus-capacity markets is a technical detail of how the market is structured. Both are “deregulated electrical market structures” that separate electric utilities from generators—which is the specific feature OP was complaining about.

In fact, capacity markets are typically seen as subsidies for fossil fuels. The whole point is to take money from ratepayers and give it to generators who can commit to producing a definite capacity. That process favors gas plants; renewables capacity is heavily discounted in capacity auctions.

I think crypto was an echo chamber.

AI though, struck a nerve because people intuit a killer app. Or more precisely, AI could potentially be applied in many different places. The last time we had something that felt like this was probably the web browser — at least for me, it is.

I think it is because we are now really close to what the non-technical mainstream public thinks computing should be — “do what I mean, not what I say”.
I don't think it's that the concepts are contrived (although the test cases certainly are), it's just that our quantum computers are really early in their development and can't do the more complicated things yet. It's like if we had calculators that took an hour to do each arithmetic operation- the fact that people wouldn't use it doesn't mean arithmetic is contrived, just that it isn't as powerful as better alternatives.

As the quote mentions, we'll need "many thousand qubits" to reach the point where society itself is getting new benefits out of things. These contrived cases help figure out how to scale the whole system.

A person can hallucinate under the effects of drugs or mental disorder and then tell you about it after they've recovered from it.

This experience is available to you and is well documented.
Did you really get the answer faster than a computer?or put another way, what question did you answer? How much force was applied to the stick before it broke? How fast was the stick moving 0.04s after breakage? How much sound was produced? There are thousands of questions you don’t have answers to when you simply break a stick.
For them to add that line to a map with an otherwise extremely low level of detail and realism seems like it must have been intentional. I have just as little sympathy for the studio as I would if they had snuck in a swastika.
Science went from something where you needed to have a physical library of journals into something much easier, where scientists the world over can now parse these repositories online. This massive increase in efficiency did not result in fewer scientists, it resulted in a lot more scientists as it became easier for more people to do research thanks to the internet.

Home machine is a Ryzen 7 5000 series on 11 pro and it's decently fast. work machine is a Ryzen 7 4000 series and it's dog slow, especially network shares or network applications and I haven't a clue why. 64gb ram in my home box and 32gb in my work one. both on nvme disks. the beta 1 of 11 was crazy fast compared to windows 10 but somewhere they made it dog slow before releasing it
I was under the impression that CentOS mostly competed with Debian or Ubuntu, with the added benefit that switching from CentOS to RHEL was very easy.

RHEL probably competes more with proprietary Unix systems (although they all seem to be fading to oblivion these days), SLES, or Windows.

Maybe z/OS on mainframes, but I suspect Linux deployments on those machines are more like "We already have the mainframe, let's buy a couple more CPUs and RAM and put Linux in an extra LPAR or VM instead of buying new servers".
Google PaLM 2 language model is embarrassingly useless

The entire internet has become a market for ads traded among corporations, and that the ads themselves are useless to 70% of the audience is meaningless because the market has its own momentum now.

The side effect is that the below-median brainpower of the 30% of the audience who doesn't know any better than to watch ads and click on them is now the driving metric for content.

In a world where programming revenue comes from ads, and only idiots see ads, the programming will cater evermore to the tastes of the most-idiotic viewer.
Telling journalists that their young colleague is allowed to have their picture taken but they cannot because they're too old and frumpy doesn't sound like a good way to get positive coverage for your product. Easier to forbid pictures of anybody using it than to make a policy of judging journalists by their physical appearance.

I've been saying hype for a while.

Please share products that exist today that leverage ChatGPT and are useful. A product that could not exist w/o ChatGPT. A product with actual users and a productive chatGPT.

ChatGPT is nothing more than a tech preview or fun experiment that will pave the way for the future. However, it's still confidently wrong, easily confused and incredibly filtered.

I'd love to see a product with tangible results.
Not a dumb question!

> Excuse my tone this time because my heart doesn't want RHEL to be inaccessible to hobbyists.

For those of who have not dabbled in the RH space for a long time: Where does Fedora stand in this brave new world?
Possibly. This is way beyond my knowledge.

But I'm not aware of many other "search this finite part of the number line for this property", where "this finite part" is still too big for classical computers.

It almost sounds like quantum computers are tailor made for the types of problems we've been building cryptosystems on.

But maybe this is not all quantum computers will be able to do. I couldn't even explain exactly how they apply to simulations of quantum systems, but have only taken more knowledgeable people at their word.
AMD continues to sabotage itself with their terrible GPU compute support. I don't understand why it's so hard for them to pick a single API and support it on all GPUs and on all major platforms (Linux, Windows).

It's no wonder why NVIDIA's market cap is so much higher.

Interview with a Senior Rust Developer [video]
There is a notable difference between Pydantic's JSON Schema output and OpenAI's expected input for function calling: Pydantic outputs an extra `title` field, which although shouldn't impact ChatGPT output, it's annoying.

Easiest solution is to just recursively remove the `title` field from Pydantic's output: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58938576/remove-key-and-...
I found Windows 10 rapidly gets slow, the slowest being opening the Start menu and right-clicking taskbar buttons. Possibly the menus are a new implementation: all the new menus etc in Win10 and 11 seem to open slowly or repaint slowly under Parallels.

Windows 11 so far feels slightly faster in terms of responsiveness and UI. However my typical performance benchmark is to run a build of the software stack I work on, which takes 1.5 hours (good machine) to 3 hours (slow or low-end VM.) On the same VM, upgraded from Win10 to Win11, this build slowed from about 2:45 to closer to 3 hours. Minor over such a long timeframe, but it does show the OS is definitely not faster.

I'll state it more clearly here because you seem resistant to really think about what I have said - there are men and women of all sexual orientations using steroids. Are you certain that a disproportionate number of straight men, out of the group of those who lift, are users of steroids? Or are you really just projecting your own feelings and insecurities onto a group of people you don't know, and asserting it as fact? Because it sounds like there's a touch of resentment towards women (implying they're really to blame for this) in your comment, and that's what I was primarily taking issue with.

> the push to normalize something that would otherwise be classified as a mental disorder

This is the kind of thing people said about being gay, bi or lesbian back in the day, and only the most hateful and bigoted say that now. In ten years time you'll either look back at comments like this and cringe with embarrassment, or you'll be one of those miserable, hate-filled bigots. I hope for your sake it's the former.
