> security vulnerabilities are basically the original developers getting outsmarted, caught out being careless

This is absolutely not true. Security vulnerabilities can be due to a huge variety of reasons well beyond "the developer is outsmarted/careless". A great example of this was unicode related issues. Also, changing API/ABI surfaces.

And, we think of security vulnerabilities as "bugs" that cause "hacks", but sometimes vulnerabilities come in the form not in a technical hack, but attacks on users.

Sometimes, the developers know there's an issue, but the business forces them ahead anyways and takes on the risk. I've dealt with a few of those.

It's counterproductive to put it firmly on the developers, but I do agree that technical security issues and quality issues are tightly intertwined.
Comparing data on populations from 2020 or 2021 is probably not going to give very accurate data because of COVID.

Much of Europe was locked down making travel often impossible. All that really says is there is a lot of drug tourism.
The movie Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is absolutely hilarious. I've rewatched it several times, and I originally went into it never having heard of Alan Partridge and only barely of Steve Coogan. The trailers don't capture it all. "Trust me, Susan." is probably the greatest line ever in the midst of a shootout.

I was properly introduced to Steve Coogan and also Rob Bryden through their movie The Trip.

Why are those folks trying to sprinkle AI over everything, even when it's completely inappropriate?

There's no AI involved in web crawling. If you come to my site, I'll tell you which pages you can visit/index, and which pages you can't, end of the story

Yes, there are security concerns with people putting /very-secret-admin-panel in their robots.txt and letting malicious actors know what URLs they should target. But if /very-secret-admin-panel is never linked by any public page, then the bot won't encounter it, therefore this stuff should never belong to robots.txt.

Please keep it as straightforward as this and don't add any AI bullshit to one of the few remaining simple processes in web development and administration.

How did you miss the "then they reduced funding" part? So yes, at first, then not anymore.
It's because measuring those things is impossible. It's not like people haven't tried - look up cyclomatic complexity for example.

But programming is more like product design or urban planning than structural engineering or construction.

There's no formula for maintainability or technical debt in the same way that there's no formula for the best town design.

That doesn't mean that all towns are equal, or that we can't say anything about urban planning. It just means you can rarely make concrete rules about it.
The opposite of this is the UK where you can go to a festival and have any drugs you bought tested to make sure they are genuine and then handed back to you, no questions asked.

Obviously, the solution is somewhere between these two extremes. The softer end seems to be loosing though.
For me there are two cases:

1. My problem fits the way a framework is shaped perfectly and the things it does for me are done in the way I want them done

2. My problem doesn't fit any framework and I rather take a micro-framwwork and build the rest myself

The latter is more common
That’s nuts to me. I read aerodynamics for my masters and would have been lost without skimming 100’s of papers and fully reading about 100 papers.

Now I’m currently doing research on a niche statistics topic and I would be lost without papers.

How does one figure out “this is what we currently understand about x” without research papers and plundering scihub?
> But in the world of the factory factory factory, the apprentice carpenter (who really just wanted to drive a few nails) is now faced with trying to understand the gargantuan complexity of the factory factory factory.

Sometimes I wonder if that's the point of all this complexity. (EDIT: I mean really excessive complexity as alluded to in the article with factory factory factories, or 100 microservices all in different programming languages just for a website (true story))

I mean who actually gets to decide what sort of approach to use, and what are their incentives?

The senior in the team is in charge of deciding what approach to use. The senior's (personal) objective is not to get fired, maintain their position as the most senior so they can get the payrises and promotions, etc. So they sort of have an incentive to choose something that is going to be easier to understand for them than for others e.g. juniors, a kind of "moat" to protect their position of power and high salary getting attacked by lower paid juniors who don't yet have the experience to understand complex abstractions over manual tasks they haven't yet done themselves.

I mean obviously that's not a kind thing for a senior to do, nor something that's in their employer's interest, but on the other hand it is rational given their incentives...

I agree with what you're saying! I am currently studying forensic psychology, and this was a compulsory reading, along with a few others. This one stood out to me as I felt it wasn't very objective, and I was surprised it was mandatory. I asked myself if the entire paper was just the author's excuse to watch Paw Patrol with his kid. Oddly, this was the most interesting one I read today for many of the reasons you described.

I felt that there were a few comments the author made that were food for thought, particularly the statement that the criminals are predominantly outsiders (migrants and visitors), which I felt was a really interesting observation that the author made, particularly in light of some other stuff I've been reading about group and intergroup relations and its impact on security, where perceived differences can lead to tensions and conflicts between groups. This observation makes me wonder how concepts of 'them vs us' are represented to young people through their engagement with media.

Ultimately though, I came away from the reading feeling that many of the author's points were rather weak, particularly those regarding misogyny. My ultimate conclusion was that this was overthinking kids' cartoons, and the author was testing whether they could get away with submitting an academic paper on Paw Patrol.
I don't see how that is a meaningfull data point. Most of those are likely not addicts so it doesn't affect relatives or society. What does the percentage of addicts look like? Percentage of ODs? Crimes committed by addicts to pay for their drugs? These are more relevant questions to ask imo.

>>Yeah, lots of people think rich capitalists like exploiting people for their labor to enrich themselves, but the truth is they hate it.

The people who genuinely hate exploiting people for labor to enrich themselves do not become rich capitalists, in the same sense that people who genuinely hate heights do not become airplane pilots, and people who genuinely hate public speaking do not become theater actors.

In most situations, a non-profit entity cannot be owned by a corporation in such a way that would give it controlling interest. If you are planning on filing for tax exemption, this is absolutely the case. A non-profit, however, can own (partially or completely) a for-profit corporation and have controlling interests.
IIRC, Google has precedent on this - e.g. scanning full books for search unless the owner explicitly refused.

No, the point is in the intrinsic quality - being well made. Usefulness is implied in being a product.

A rubbish hammer may be e.g. «useful» for some dozen bangs in a few weeks, then crumble. A rubbish item will have compromises. A "good" product will be masterful and optimal for function, less compromising for the demanding user.

Believe it or not, the "Let $X \in F$..." style is typically easier and more straightforward to write for mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists and closer to how they have the solution in their head (or on scraps of paper) anyway. The problem is, unless the result is super important, that style will get your paper rejected as it doesn't engage the reviewers who are not already familiar with the problem. So authors go instead for the conversational tone and try to find a good story, which is more often what actually shields that the work is quite simple or less important.

I guess it's a state of mind of "doing something". If you do what Portugal is doing and your numbers are the same than others, it feels natural to think that if you do something things will improve.

Then you do something like criminalize drug users, numbers get worse, but now you can claim is all fault of drug users for doing something illegal. You are doing "something", but they don't cooperate.
Perhaps they’re intending on a means to say whether your content can be used within an AI training model or not.

Heard the same from a friend of a friend, they would game Trip Advisor reviews by giving discounts to customers and the daughter would make accounts and leave positive reviews all the time.

There seriously needs to be a watchdog group or AI service (startup idea!) that vets reviews with heuristics like anomaly detection for VPN ip address reviews in succession or browser fingerprinting.

Also ChatGPT is gonna make writing unique reviews a thing of the past. Expect fake reviews sounding indistinguishable from genuine human writing. We are screwed.

It's a really weird sentence. I think most people would consider IDEs are the "fancy" ones, compared to emacs. I have to read your comment 3 times to ensure I didn't read it wrong.

Plus the comparison doesn't work at all. When you use your home-made framework to solve a common problem, you make it harder to maintain for others. When you use emacs you use emacs.

Emacs and IDEs are tools, but frameworks and libraries (and programming languages) are not merely tools. They're tools AND raw materials.

It shouldn't. Vancouver and Portugal have very different policy.

In Portugal drug possession, use are illegal. They aren't criminal but are illegal and carry penalties at special drug courts which give less protect to defendents.

Also, Vancouver's downtown core hardly had any families and things families need simply aren't available downtown.
I suspect businesses will use ChatGPT to mass write unique sounding fake reviews indistinguishable from genuine human writing. We are screwed.
Interesting , but the problems is that dinosaurs aren't reptiles and are theorized to have been warm blooded. So probably a better comparison would be to birds

However as far as I understand birds are found in artict/polar climates while dinosaurs were only at high latitudes during warm periods. It feels like there must be some fundamental physiological difference from birds other than flight - but I'm not clear what.

Some do, some don’t, depending on the group and the location. Most would just drift to whatever gets them easy money.

“Organized” doesn’t even have to be that large, could be a small group of accomplices that then know another group who is fencing stolen stuff.

If jumping into a Target or Walmart with a large garbage bag filling it with stuff to sell later makes a few extra bucks, why not? The police and the store employees just sit there looking at you without any real consequences. So why not do it?

They keep failing to see this, while CUDA is a polyglot programming model, a couple of years ago at an OpenCL conference (IWOCL), someone asked the panel when Fortran support was going to happen.

Everyone on the panel reacted surprised that it would be something that anyone would want to do, and most of the answers were the kind of talk to us later.

Meanwhile PGI was shipping Fortran for CUDA, this was before them being acquired by NVidia.

Did the comments here actually read the paper? It just does "russian peasant" multiplication simulating multiplication with addition.

There is no new math discovered as far as I understand. It's basically "we know how to do multiplication with a lot of additions".

If this was effective rather than just "simulate multiplication with a lot of additions" it would have been super interesting for parallelization of multiplications and communication bounds.
I rarely let myself a negative comment, but core of article is authors realising that n-bit multiplication is n additions. So, absolutely nothing interesting or new
