For serverless (as in AWS-lambda-like) I agree. In that usecase WASM provides a better security barrier than containers, with faster cold-start time (which is really important for the scaling promise of these services).

For the stuff people run on their Kubernetes clusters I have more mixed expectations. Containers are more universal, but I can totally see a microservice architecture running as a lot of WASM runtimes with a handful of containers.
Based on the included chart, it seems RFK Jr is quite the populist candidate. Sure, he holds some radical positions like not getting involved in foreign wars, but he seems pretty sensible overall.
For 500 bucks worth of crypto anyone in the world can get a reasonably competent full auto AK with a box of milsurp ammo.

If that's your definition of "hard", I'd say you're setting that bar far too low.
If a game anti-cheat system can detect that a regular VM is a VM, then it will also detect Kata VM is a VM. In both cases you're running a game in a VM with a dedicated kernel.

Kata VMs are especially VM-y because they use a lot of VM-only features that wouldn't work with real hardware to enhance performance by sharing work between the guest and the host.
IIRC, public trading was halted several days early due to an "extraordinary event." It was never restarted, CUSIP was removed a few days later. Short positions weren't closed and long positions are sitting in brokerage accounts.
> I'll be using that the second AR becomes accessible for everyday outdoor use.

I probably wouldn't. I'd just keep doing what I currently do -- avoid environments that are saturated with ads.
> Plumbers don't do much soldering

Today no. But in the past of course they did. Every house has 1/2" and 3/4" copper pipe with sweated solder joints. At least 10's of them in each house, if not 100 or more.
Or: "Our unit was ambushed while setting up camp. We could all have escaped alive in our truck, if not for the fact that the first of us killed by the enemy was Private Jeane, and she was the one with the keys."
And there was nothing that we could do about it. mhils was a made man and ibm guy wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it.
My grandfather invented, marketed, and maybe patented a device on this premise before he died decades ago. I still have one in its retail packaging in my curio cabinet.

IIRC the first iteration he made used a keypad to enter the code, and the second used the blinkers.

If there's something in a wikipedia article that experts will argue against, the article needs updating to be compatible with, even if does not include, expert-level knowledge.
It will necessarily be worse than the fixed oven.
Somewhat related to shadow programs for leadership roles -- at my previous company we had shadow program to give employees a peek into performance review discussions. It was always a black box and created uncertainty for many IC's, but the ones who attended the mock performance reviews really appreciated the insight into the process.
I've said it multiple times to multiple people and I'm gonna say it again: If ChatGPT can give you correct solutions, you don't work on complex enough problems and your job will probably be automated relatively soon. Complex SQL is a great example of the type of problem LLMs fail at spectacularly, but average humans (well, I mean average programmers) do not.
Happens all the time, nearly everywhere.
I guess it depends where you live. I see record numbers of unhoused people and young adults living with their parents into their 30s.
I have yet to experience an issue watching media from where I reside when in the states (or when visiting Europe) than the other way around. Given, I live in Asia and haven’t spent a ton of time in Europe so maybe that explains it.

You should consider that other people have different experiences before accusing them of being in a bubble
Probably not popular in Japan.
Renting the space to the departments and other similar things probably.

I wish I was joking, but a friend who works at a Uni was recently complaining of their budget being affected by (mandatory) things like that.
> I haven’t heard a good practical rebuttal though :/

The practical rebuttal to people justifying their deeds with sophistry a teenager can see through is to stop them, regardless of whether they like it or not, and not getting too tangled up in the chaff they came up with to rationalize what they are doing.
A delicious example of a buttercream cake is "Frankfurter Kranz" ("Frankfurt crown cake"). Here's an excerpt from its Wikipedia article to get an idea what it's like:

"Preparation starts with the baking of a firm sponge cake in a ring shaped baking tin. The cake is then sliced horizontally to divide it into two or three rings, and thick layers of buttercream icing are placed between the rings, usually with a layer of red jam (typically strawberry, blackcurrant or cherry jam). The outside of the cake is then thickly coated with more buttercream and topped with caramel-covered brittle nuts, called Krokant, toasted almond flakes and/or ground hazelnuts. Krokant is signature to this dish.", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurter_Kranz

Many cities in the US are only usable by car. You can’t just leap from a car-based city to a non-car-based city, you have to provide transitionary options (also even car-optional cities still have parking garages).
People get irate about government spending here's a big difference between someone wasting your money and someone wasting their own money.
(Not the OP) "Uninhabitable" is a vague word, but I found it useful to think about this in terms of global stability. The US Dept. of Defense (not a traditionally environmentalist group, though perhaps traditionally alarmist) did a series of studies on this. Here's a recent summary: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Oct/21/2002877353/-1/-1/0/DOD...

Basically habitability and stability isn't just a matter of "will this land burn you alive" but also access to cropland and rangeland, clean water, or avoiding negatives like increased hurricanes and wildfires, or simply floods and droughts. Migration out of increasingly harsh areas is expected to fuel global instability, across large regions of the world at a time, often in some of the most populous or contentious areas.

While the DoD's regional analyses aren't released to the public, there are similar studies in academia... https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://par.nsf.g... (that one does go into detailed definitions of habitability).

Basically the hot and humid areas of the world, like Southeast Asia and Sub Saharan Africa, are expected to spawn a lot of climate refugees.

I believe more detailed models are out there, but I haven't looked too deep.
It's a relatively easily falsifiable statement, so stop JAQing off.
A million drivers of Hyundais that the manufacturer cheaped out on immobilizers in the US would be interested in this as a finished product.
How so? I've used them before and didn't see a problem with them.
For Windows they're not pushing current 102 users to the new design yet. This matches some of the previous rollouts where the auto-upgrade branch is treated a bit more like 'stable' or 'ESR' might be in Linux and Firefox ESR.
He sounds like a monster of a vehicle. Loyal and strong. The goodest of cars.
Small nitpick, $475k was their prior total compensation. Maybe half of that was salary, the rest stock.
Right around the turn of the century, the Japanese brands were all great designs. I haven't seen one for sale in the US in a long time though.
Hhmm. I don't remember FF ever trying to reproduce IE6. I remember having to do special hacks to handle IE.
I haven't applied to as many places but its defiantly demoralizing. Looking at pay cuts feels so bad too. Its not like life stops being expensive. Rent keeps going up, prices for homes out of reach, food keeps getting more expensive, especially eating healthy, gas, electricity bill. it never ends. then you need to listen to some soulless hr robot tell you 180k is to much...
Haha :) I always extend my respect for such stuff..
It just shows how everything is bloated and ballooned today..

$1.2 million will fund 4 years of research for 2 professors, and 2 PhD students. It’s not exactly a career making grant.
I like your product but your pricing per endpoint is not what I would choose:

10 endpoints - $1 per endpoint per month

20 endpoints - $1.5 per endpoint per month

30 endpoints - $1.33 per endpoint per month
True. You want to always use an odd number so there are no ties.

I'm guessing they were trying a parameter sweep, and found that (thanks to the bug) they got the best results for K=2.

This too is problematic in its own sense.
Anecdotally: both of the times I had Covid, I tested negative for a couple of days with two different brands of rapid antigen tests until I had really overt symptoms (bad headache, raging sore throat, fever).
Mind you it didn’t have doors that locked and you started it by twisting a screwdriver.
10 minutes? To find the position, see if you fit, customize your cover letter and resume to well fit, and go through their portal? I could see maybe with aid of a GPT this being possible nowadays but still non-trivial.
Don't you need capital you can burn to be in a growth phase, like a startup would be?
> inventing it for the purposes of

Regardless of how the sentence continues, there is no such thing. There is making inventions in the world as it currently is, and what follows from that.

edit: since the page http://tech.mit.edu/V105/N16/weisen.16n.html is down atm, I have to quote it instead of linking it:

> People have a series of rationalizations. People say for example that science and technology have their own logic, that they are in fact autonomous. This particular rationalization is profoundly false. It is not true that science marches on in defiance of human will, independent of human will, that just is not the case. But it is comfortable, as I said: it leads to the position that "if I don't do it, someone else will."

> Of course if one takes that as an ethical principle then obviously it can serve as a license to do anything at all. "People will be murdered; if I don't do it, someone else will." "Women will be raped; if I don't do it, someone else will." That is just a license for violence.

> Other people say, and I think this is a widely used rationalization, that fundamentally the tools we work on are "mere" tools; This means that whether they get use for good or evil depends on the person who ultimately buys them and so on.

> There's nothing bad about working in computer vision, for example. Computer vision may very well some day be used to heal people who would otherwise die. Of course, it could also be used to guide missiles, cruise missiles for example, to their destination, and all that. You see, the technology itself is neutral and value-free and it just depends how one uses it. And besides -- consistent with that -- we can't know, we scientists cannot know how it is going to be used. So therefore we have no responsibility.

> Well, that is false. It is true that a computer, for example, can be used for good or evil. It is true that a helicopter can be used as a gunship and it can also be used to rescue people from a mountain pass. And if the question arises of how a specific device is going to be used, in what I call an abstract ideal society, then one might very well say one cannot know.

> But we live in a concrete society, [and] with concrete social and historical circumstances and political realities in this society, it is perfectly obvious that when something like a computer is invented, then it is going to be adopted will be for military purposes. It follows from the concrete realities in which we live, it does not follow from pure logic. But we're not living in an abstract society, we're living in the society in which we in fact live.

> If you look at the enormous fruits of human genius that mankind has developed in the last 50 years, atomic energy and rocketry and flying to the moon and coherent light, and it goes on and on and on -- and then it turns out that every one of these triumphs is used primarily in military terms. So it is not reasonable for a scientist or technologist to insist that he or she does not know -- or cannot know -- how it is going to be used.

-- Joseph Weizenbaum
Sustainable means "we could keep doing it this way indefinitely" and the answer...no, we absolutely cannot keep doing it (i.e. producing energy) this way indefinitely. It never was sustainable, we just live in a system with a huge amount of inertia and big reservoirs that allows us to imagine things are sustainable when they aren't.
One factor I've found is the intersection of Enhanced Tracking Protection and Multi-Account Container in Firefox. I'm seeing daily "Please stop using an ad blocker, Firefox is an ad blocker, please use Chrome, this site works best in Chrome" banners and ad walls and paywalls and other similar cranky anti-patterns.

It fascinates me how many people I know have uBlock (Origin) installed in Chrome and see nowhere near as many whiny banners and "stop running an ad blocker" nonsense as I see running Firefox without an ad blocker just ETP and MAC. The people complaining "Firefox is an ad blocker" are making it clear that they don't actually care that you are blocking ads or not, they care that you are blocking trackers and hate you for trying to maintain a semblance of privacy. Keeps saying the quiet parts out loud.

Most of the sites that do that are a "close tab and ignore" thing, some are a sequester to their own account container and feed them garbage (create a dumb account for them, turn off ETP just for them just in that container). It is still only a once-a-month case where such a site I need to get something done on is entirely broken in Firefox and I need to open it in something Chromium based, but that's still too often and getting worse.

But that "Firefox is an ad blocker, please use a less private browser" is a daily annoyance for me for sure.
You're not the only one. I mostly use laptops as notebooks, not on my lap, and usually plugged into a docking station for a decent keyboard, a mouse, and external monitors. I don't need a laptop for ants!
Should be no certificates for cogs. I”m about to go through a revamp.
I do short term rentals.

Thanks for the feedback.

I need the practice describing what I”m doing.

Usually about half. It's designed to cover the costs of running a university research program spread across all the projects. So a 10MM project provides 10x the funding that a 1MM project provides. Think things like health insurance for the researchers, covering time between projects, lab capital costs, electricity, administration, accounting, even the cost of writing grants.

There's a valid question of if that number can be smaller, but the general concept makes sense.
Yeah. I love the concept of a Unified API. But holy shit if it's not open source there's no way I would touch it. I'm very vocal about my dislike for the commercial Unified API companies.
Of course there is no way around that. A partial mitigation is the same as done for network protocols: reserve some space for future extensions.
I do remember some birthday parties of a late relative with an abundance of tasty cakes, some of them buttercream cakes. Now, I don't know the recipes...
You have to ask whether there's real effort put into the 2500 applications. I'm sure I haven't applied to that many jobs. Maybe not even 200 in total. But it's also true that some applications are simply sent off with little chance of getting the job: either my experience was too tangential, or the job appeared to already have an intended taker, or the ad had been there too long to still be live, and so on.

I've been on the hiring side as well and you can definitely see that by far most applications (direct from the ATS) are from someone who might as well not have bothered: their experience is only qualifying in a stretch, or they are so completely out there you have to wonder how they thought it was worth 30 seconds to apply.

46 first rounds sounds like a lot too. I get the feeling that applying to too many jobs simply meant that the low probability dusted up a bunch of HMs who thought they'd take a chance.

I don't think hiring is a straight up numbers game, there's probably certain pots that are OOM more likely to get you a job than others. Eg personal network and similar businesses.
Much more people are familiar with the Greek letters (e.g. from mathematics or physics) than with the Greek language.

Knowing the letters is enough to allow the use of a dictionary to find most words, i.e. most nouns. Searching for verbs in a dictionary can be more difficult without knowing the grammar, as it may not be obvious which is the dictionary form that corresponds to a verbal form in the text.

I have read many Greek and Latin bilingual books and I have always found the original text to be of great value. The English text is very useful for reading quickly in order to have a general idea about the content of the original text and for searching quickly things in which you are interested.

Whenever you want to know anything certain about the content of the original text, the only way is to look at the original language. It does not matter if the original text looks like the original inscriptions. The original text may be shown in a one-to-one transliteration into Latin letters, without losing any information.

On the other hand, I have never seen any reliable English translation, i.e. any translation where after seeing twice the same English word in the translation you may conclude that the Greek author used the same word in both cases or that the author meant the same thing in both places.

Moreover, almost all translations that I have seen contain some anachronisms, i.e. modern words which do not really have any exact correspondent in the ancient languages, so when looking at the original you can see that the Greek or Latin words actually meant something else. Because of this, I have seen papers in which wrong conclusions were affirmed about what some ancient authors have said, due to the fact that some translations were accepted as being true literally, without checking the original words.
It wouldn't stop anything. You have a car that has everything it needs to start and go just sitting there. Whether you have a physical key, password, retina scanner, you name it the issue is that the thief has physical access. For physical security they can just short some wires to make the car think it has the key, and for digital systems they gain access to the cleartext internal message bus of the car and tell it to start. The latter is the one that has more promise on making it actually secure because you can make the software required to drive the car and the car physically can't move without it but that comes with a lot of usability and performance trade-offs.
I don’t build a lot of apartment buildings but I absolutely support this. On the other hand, imagine if I used these techniques in my single family home a quarter mile from my nearest neighbor. Paradise. Dead silence.
Next thing you'll say the Beatles are being misleading with 'All you need is love' because people also need food and shelter.
Searching is the key word there. Without ads, Google would be behind a paywall. Without ads, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc. would also be behind paywalls.
That's great, it's not open source though so you shouldn't call it open source. Call it something else.
I don't know if that completely solves it. People keep keys in pockets.

The full fix is time of flight measurement but as I understand it that's still beyond cheap electronics.

Or just.. you know press a button when you want to unlock your car.
I'm afraid that in a small organization, where Slack is so often deployed, blocking abuse is a poor substitute for a low tolerance for abuse. My boss fired someone immediately after they made a degrading comment to someone on Slack, and in that case I think it was warranted. If that person was simply blocked by anyone involved it would have seriously broken communication with a core service. Putting a non-abusive person in that role was the better choice.

It depends on the organization of course, so a blocking feature makes sense as a local admin option. In our case a "flag this comment" feature would work better.
+1 to this and let me give a quote:

Rat,
pearl,
onion,
honey:
these colours came before the sun
lifted above the ocean
bringing light
alike to mortals and immortals.

And through this falling brightness
through the by now
mosque,
eucalyptus,
utter blue,
came Thetis,
gliding across the azimuth,
with armour the colour of moonlight laid on Her forearms,
palms upturned towards the sun,
hovering above the fleet,
Her skyish face towards her son,

Tesla Outlines Plan to Create Largest Auto Factory in Germany
I think a good starting point for this discussion is clarifying the implicit false dichotomy: it's either moral or moral, technology is either good or bad.

To quote Melvin Kranzberg "Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral".

Just because technology requires people to create it and to use it, does not mean that it has no impact on us (an by extension it also means that it's creation has impacts).

To take an obvious example, guns are not inherently good or bad. But they unlock the possibility of shooting people.
Nice catch, we are going to change that!
This is the same kind of take as going to a nice restaurant and loudly exclaiming "$50 for a steak?! I could pay $8 at the butcher and make the same thing at home!"
In case anyone else had trouble finding it, the minimap is only displayed if the viewport width was ≥1120px when the page was initially loaded.
Yep, somehow I missed that. 8 and F are sort of close, but not really.
Actually, Snowflake is the reason I ask :)
Not me. I want ads to be hyper-personalized, because I want them to be relevant. I don't mind ads at all, *so long as they are for things I might actually be interested in*. What drives me nuts though, are ads that are so totally and obviously un-suited for me. Like, I see ads all the time on Facebook where if I click the "Why did I see this ad" button, it turns out the advertiser was "targeting" (if you can call it that) "people over 18 years of age, with a primary location in the United States."

Seriously, WTF? I wish FB didn't even allow ads to be so broadly scoped. There is approximately NOTHING that is legitimately going to be of interest to everybody in that group. It's bad for the advertiser, bad for the user, and probably bad for Facebook to even have that.

No, I say figure out that I'm a libertarian atheist with strong interests in open source software, bicycles, guns, and electronics test equipment, and show me ads for those things first and foremost. Target the hell out of me, please.
A modern industrial estate could be more useful than somewhere more remote. You get large car parks to park vehicles and build things. Warehouses to hide equipment, do maintenance, and provide shelter. You have access to grid power and water. It will be on existing transport networks.

And it might just provide better cover. Western europe has hundreds of places like this. The enemy has to work out which building you are using in a group of fifty other non-descript buildings.
Hamilton’s Quaternions, Or, the Trouble with Triples
Agreed. I’m not sure what it’s like for PMs but 1 bite out of 43 applications is pretty bad. And 1 offer out of 46 interviews is also pretty bad.
A bill providing privacy rights for congress, while no such law exists for the rest of the population that has to contend with having their personal info captured and sold by data brokers for every online purchase or table reservation in a restaurant?

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others, indeed.
