We need to stop talking about this clown. He is the worst kind of candidate: a useful idiot for the dark money forces who financially back him.

Since RFK Jr. loves conspiracy theories, here’s mine: fringe candidates like him always end up having financial ties to countries and organizations with a vested interest in the destabilization of the USA.
I have never in my career seen a good implementation of cloud development. At every company I've ever worked for, "cloud development" is nothing but a Linux VM that gets provisioned for you in AWS, a file watcher that syncs your local files to the VM, and some extra CLI tools to run builds and tests on the VM. And every time I've used this, the overhead of verifying the syncing is up to date, the environment is consistent between my laptop and VM is the same, all this other mess...every time I end up just abandoning "cloud dev" and doing things on my laptop. God forbid you change a file in your cloud VM and forget to sync in the reverse direction. Not only is local development more reliable, but it's also faster (no remote network hop in the critical path of building things).
Honestly there is demand for local inference in the enterprise space, especially computer vision systems, that demand more power than comparable arm platforms can provide.

I could see there being a small but valuable niche they could fill.
GPT, Copilot, etc. are glorified auto-complete tools. There is nothing wrong with using them, and they are useful.

They still need a programmer to give proper instructions, though. I don't think an end user can prompt them to write anything remotely sophisticated the current technology.

When these tools are able to detect ambiguity in specifications and start asking the right questions to clarify those ambiguities, they will also start being useful for non-programmers.
They can be nice as small servers. OSX is not as suited to server usage as a BSD or Linux and doesn’t have expandable storage - NUCs have additional m2 or sata drive ports. The NUCs also cost less.
Sure, but you know what has state? ODEs and their discrete-time analogue, recurrence relations. You first meet ODEs in calculus. Even if you say “who cares about continuous time, my computer is fundamentally discrete!” you won’t have a concept of limiting behaviors without calculus.
How does this compare to Singularity containers?

FWIW, there was absolutely no attempt at spin on my part. If that $90M number was extractable from the article, I would have cited that. Clearly you agree that the $735M number that appears in the headline is incorrectly spun, right?
Yeah, I can keep Brainfuck in my head easily. Doesn't mean I'm going to use it as anything other than a toy language.

I have this pet proposal that LLMs would be pretty nice to help fill out WikiData https://friend.computer/jekyll/update/2023/04/30/wikidata-ll..., as the technique of getting LLMs to write queries, instead of directly giving data, has worked really well so far for me.
I had this and requested a new link by filling the form again. It worked.
Children need to be educated well and given opportunities to guarantee the future of society, but ensuring adults are content or at least able to support themselves is important for stability today. More un/under-employed/unemployable people means more crime and social unrest, retarding growth and costing more resources than would have been spent supporting them.
We know that GPT-4 is the king at this time, so only researchers, developers, and enthusiasts setup local LLMs. They don't need easier way to setup. For image generation, Local Stable Diffusion is the king for certain big genre of image generation. Many people including PC newbie try it, so there are many guides.
Compilers are translators, but generally from one formal language to another. Speaking English to GPT4 and getting a fully functional program is a whole other beast. Sure, I guess you could abstract it away and call an LLM a compiler as well.
On the other hand, here in the US, I can walk into one location of a store, and tax is X. I walk 3 blocks to another location, and tax is Y.

That's because one is juuuuuust (like 100ft) outside the city limit and county vs city tax is different.
Infosec twitter may be gone, but the infosec spam bots are still there. Just try searching for "Linux kernel" and try to find content by a real human. Before you manage to find one, you'll have to scan through hundreds if not thousands of low-quality bot posts about the latest linux kernel commit, linux kernel CVEs, or linux kernel mailing list posts.
School for 6 year olds involves a lot of social recess time and playing with friends. 8 hours in total is not an unusual amount of time. But as far as instructional time goes, yes, it benefits older kids more.
Road signage is actually a very specific and typographically demanding use case with its own whole world of constraints and consequences. It's everywhere so very mundane to us, but it's not surprising at all that a general-purpose font isn't usable for it.
Operating systems other than MacOS? (Well, Asahi is pretty impressive but it is only a couple years old).
This is the study RFK Jr. was talking about.

It's a peer reviewed, published scientific study in a highly respected journal.

Nothing about this is antisemitic.

In my case, my estimation is a simple count.

Prior to using my email, I was getting 2 targeted attacks per week to my email.

After making an acct on LinkedIn with resume, was seeing 25-30 attacks per week.

I didn't make any attempt to determine the classification of attack, or its complexity. It was a simple dumb count.

These proposals appear to be coming from the W3C Anti-Fraud Community Group. They haven't identified even a single use case[1] of the technologies they're trying to push onto the world being misused and abused. Use cases and their naivety appear to be largely copied from the OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications[2].

There are no use case about these technologies being used by a dystopian country. No use case about enabling anti-competitive practices from incumbent companies. Seemingly little to no care or attempts to balance the longer term strategic impacts of these technologies on society, such as loss of innovation or greater fragility due to increased centralisation/monopolisation of technology. No cost-benefit analysis or historical analysis for identified threat actors likelihood to compromise TPMs and attested operating systems to avoid these technologies (there's no shortage of Widevine L1 content out there on the Internet). No environmental impact consideration for blacklisting devices and having them all thrown into a rubbish tip too early in their lifespan. No political/sovereignty consideration to whether people around the world will accept a handful of American technology companies to be in control of everything, and whether that would push to the rest of the world to abandon American technology.

The majority of the contributors to these projects appear to be tech employees of large technology companies seemingly without experience outside of this bubble. Discussions within the group at times self-identify this naivety. The group appears very hasty to propose the most drastic, impractical technical security controls with significant negative impacts such as whitelisting device hardware and software. But in the real world for e.g. banking fraud, attacks typically occur through social engineering where the group's proposed technical controls wouldn't help. There appears to be little to no attempt made to consider more effective real world security controls with fewer negative impacts, such as delaying transactions and notifying users through multiple channels to ensure users have had a chance to validate a transaction or "cool off".

Yeah, no kidding. I have a hard time believing that the way corporate board seats are filled has anything to do with maximizing the performance of a company. It seems like it’s just an entrenched, unspoken agreement among the executive class to keep their pockets filled with walking around money—or private-jetting money in their case.
I've turned a few former colleagues away with offers because of this office thing.

It's becoming a frustrating flag to plant. I've been WFH for the better part of a decade, yet since COVID, it's some new phenomenon? Hardly.

I don't want to work anywhere that won't work with me. Or at least their hiring management, giving them the freedom to negotiate
Their license may prohibit encrypted transmissions. If you publicize the key, it’s just an encoding.
I know it’d be incredibly painful initially, but I’m surprised more firms don’t adopt a policy where they only accept traffic to an approved accept list of IPs/domains instead of permitting traffic unless explicitly denied. With an interface that allows employees to request allowances, this seems like a great added layer of security.
I think a lot of these libraries are made by people who don't really design systems.

At its core, what chatgpt and the like really are, are ways to transform natural language into structured data and vice versa. All you really need is an interface that allows you to plug in these APIs to _normal_ workflow engines that lots of companies are using every day to do work, both fully automated workflow engines like airflow or whatever, and also just plugging them into the _exact same systems_ that human engineers use -- it's perfectly possible to get chatgpt to use Jira and submit PRs or whatever.
I don’t like it. It doesn’t quite make sense as a title.
Are the minis upgradeable? My nuc now has an nvme drive and a 2.5" ssd, and I've upped it to 32gb ram for some light vmware work.

On the other side of spectrum I have a few cheap nucs with celeron for media tv and streaming purposes.

If I read it correctly, Mac mini is 800cad for 8gb ram and 256 sdd.

I lived in Atlanta until last year and I still have my house there.

- not too far away from a major airport.

- not too hot in the summer. We don’t care about the winter. We have our winter home

- not too expensive.

- suburbs is okay. But not rural. But we would really like a walkable place. Our condo isn’t in a “walkable” area. But since it is built as a resort hotel, there are three restaurants, a well stocked convenience store, three pools and a gym on site, and a jogging trail.

- a low tax state.

The only city that we have been to that real piqued our interest is Charlotte, NC.

We were there last year for three weeks. But I ended up traveling for work two of those weeks. We are going back next year for three weeks.

We both love Vegas just because there is so much to do and Nevada is state income tax free and the cost of living isn’t high. But it’s hot.

Like I said, there is really no urgency even though I will be 50 next year. We might even end up buying a place in Atlanta again and going back and forth between Atlanta and Orlando.
I'm not a fan of hooks (and the endless blog posts and opinions that hooks somehow were the invention of functional coding), but react server components did a lot of people in. The default expectations being that react frontends have a node backed isn't how much people use react.
Definitions might very by organization. The training I have received defined both "insider threat" and "leak" to include accidental disclosures by insiders as well.

Incidentally, accidental disclosures are the main thing SCIFs are designed to prevent. Deliberately taking classified data out of a SCIF is not particularly difficult (although it is harder to plead accident if you are caught, which acts as a dissinsentive).
i've come across carbon (google's c++-next language), clasp (common lisp with an llvm backend), felix (compiler generates c++), and maybe a couple of others i'm forgetting.

also some languages have packages that deal with c++ interop to varying extents - see this discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/huhy8...
I could understand an acquisition to quickly launch an Nvidia cloud services platform.

This would also resolve a branding problem for Lambda, people always confusing it w AWS’ similarly named product..

Alright then, here:

The Texas two-step allows solvent companies to shield their assets from litigants using protections that are normally reserved for bankrupt companies. The goal of a Texas two-step is for the parent company to gain a third-party release of all liabilities it assigned to its spinoff, thus preventing litigants from pursuing those claims against the parent.

And yet here we have multiple people trying to spin things as "Oh, J&J just want what is fair for the litigants!"

Fun fact: the majority of large corporations who utilize the Texas Two Step somehow manage to avoid paying out anything more than a token sum, either through the "new" entity that holds the liabilities, or the "old" entity which promised it'd fully fund the liability holding entity.

Georgia Pacific did this. Pledged $1B, ended up funding $175M. The entity went bankrupt three months later with 62,000 claims fighting over those scraps for mesothelioma (i.e. an average claimant getting less than $3,000 - before legal costs).

Saint-Gobain did the same thing. More building products liabilities. Less than $100M in assets and no operations to fund more than 6,000 asbestos claims per year.

> Gross testified that Saint-Gobain repeatedly misrepresented its intent in creating the subsidiary that eventually filed for bankruptcy, calling executives’ testimony and other statements “misleading” and “not truthful.” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Craig Whitley followed Gross’s testimony last August with factual findings that included his own blistering critique of the executives’ statements as “contrary to the evidence,” saying the company’s story “strains credibility.”

Trane Technologies. Same deal.

And yet you and Matt talk about how the whole concept is "designed to be more fair for the claimants".

"Facts and analysis" in the three companies who have done this before J&J would disagree with you. Strongly.
I thought it was because Cloudflare DNS doesn't pass on the full IP subnet of the requesting computer, which archive.is wants. archive.is says they need it for better CDN routing, CloudFlare says it's a privacy violation and there are enough CloudFlare PoPs to provide for CDN granularity just by going off the requesting server.
Anyone have done write up about how to try this?

> I could hardly believe this finish, yet the program certainly earned its victory. … Only one thing marred the scene. Villa, who only a day earlier had reached the summit of his backgammon career in winning the world title, was disconsolate.

This seems to be the pattern for the human champions who are the first to lose to computers. What a truly singular moment in existence to experience. Both a personal loss and a loss for the whole human species, and you have to bear it alone.
Use of payment networks and keys are protected by contractual agreements that have quite a lot to do with liability.
Why would you need files locally when most IDEs support a session over SSH that doesn't even involve a remote desktop tool? Just edit the files over there.

>June version added “‘python and “‘ before and after the code snippet. Second, it also generated a few more comments. While a small change, the extra triple quotes render the code not executable.

I use a Nuc clone to run Home Assistant, and AI event detection for my camera network (assisted by a Coral accelerator). So I think it legitimately qualifies for those buzzwords.

Estuary Flow derivations [1], I suspect (I work here)? You write a program which has messages pushed to it, which maintains and updates an internal state, and which publishes output messages.

You can build cyclic data-flows [2] - not just DAGs - which seems a key ingredient.

You can also write contract-based tests that verify the end-to-end behaviors of your "agents" [3].

Today, you're limited to SQLite or TypeScript. Looking forward, we aim to open it up to any program packaged in a docker container.

Another happy PN51 user (R7 4700U) - I've found it to be quite the mighty mite working with big NetBeans projects.

I'm honestly not surprised that Asus would pick up the NUC line.
And yet in every company where the Texas Two Step has been done, funding, "requirements" etc., have been blatantly disregarded and the only ones who have been screwed over are said claimants.

Georgia Pacific, faced with several billions in claims, formed a subsidiary, and "pledged" to fund it to the full amount, starting with an initial $1B funding...

Actually only funded it to the value of $175M. Less than $3,000 per claimant for mesothelioma.

Less than $3,000... before claimant legal fees.
Confabulate is more of a neurological term so I think that's why it never caught on, but I've always thought that was the perfect word for what's happening
My employer does a similar thing for people working on particularly sensitive projects. Those employees are given a second laptop to use for internet.
Much better as home-servers (450~ euros for a barebone 1340p is a pretty good deal). They have really good IO and linux support.
Furthermore, Intel had no real way to get them in front of new customers.
Asus is absolutely happy to cut deals with Walmart and Best Buy and to play hardball.

> A country does not exist in a political vacuum and has to be able to protect its freedom and the very right to exist

Do you think that Eisenhower, a professional soldier and 5 star general, doesn't understand that? You're not understanding / misrepresenting what he is saying in that quote. It's about the cost of a military and how it has to be balanced against the productive and social needs of a country. A country that is grossly over-spending on the military, as Eisenhower perceived it already back then, and particularly in the case of the US, when that military is used for force and power projection, not defence, is strangling the society that it pretends to protect. This has been the history of the US over at least the last 50 years (when Eisenhower made this fore-warning speech).
This phenomenon is known as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect
Dear ASUS: please make a range of NUC with either on-board 4+ SATA lanes or a PCIx instance which can take a daughtercard which does true parallel SATA, not serialised.

TL;DR the market for home RAID/NAS is huge. We need you to stop needing us to max out with only 1 device, and sometimes M.2 keying isn't where we are. People are well beyond "2 disks is enough" in a home NAS now.

thanksbai.
Maybe things have changed in the ~15 years since I took the ACT, but no calculus was necessary for me to get a score in the 30s. You're probably right about getting accepted into an engineering major at a prestigious school though.
That appears to be true for the paper, but not to the statements attributed to RFK Jr., which uses language that is much stronger in terms of racial targeting.
A quote directly attributed to him makes that clear: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/15/us/politics/rfk-jr-remark...

I don't think what RFK Jr. is really related to the paper at all; whether it is peer reviewed and of high quality is irrelevant. It's his interpretation of it that matters in this case.

As a reminder, RFK Jr. has also said HIV may not cause AIDS, cell phones cause cancer, and believes his father and uncle were killed by the CIA. let's not pretend RFK Jr is not what he is, or that he didn't say what he said. His own wife and several other family members have come out and said that his statement was reprehensible.

If a streamer doesn’t have recurring revenue, it will go out of business very fast.

In other industries you may be paid once, but you don’t get asked to sign away a permanent right to lose your likeness to get paid. But they might offer you stock options, which are a kind of payment based on overall performance of the product.

Fiscal Dominance and the Return of Zero-Interest Bank Reserve Requirements [pdf]
Abstract:

As a matter of arithmetic, the trends of US government debt and deficits will eventually result in an outrageously high government debt-to-GDP ratio. But when exactly will the United States hit the constraint of infeasibility and how exactly will policy adjust to it? This article considers fiscal dominance, which is the possibility that accumulating government debt and deficits can produce increases in inflation that “dominate” central bank intentions to keep inflation low. Is it a serious possibility for the United States in the near future?
And how might various policies change (especially those related to the banking system) if fiscal dominance became a reality?
Thanks! Glad you liked what you saw :)

I was never allowed in, but at a previous employer we had a scif onsite that had no internet in that room, and nothing was allowed out (except by a very painful process involving a briefcase, handcuffs, multiple people, etc).

Needless to say none of the computers in the scif has internet. Keeping them updated was surprisingly simple - we could bring updates in, we just had an increasing stack of USB drives and hdds that never left lol.
agreed — even with some recent price increases they have amazing prices
