Yeaaah you're trying poke holes. Problem is that there are larger holes in a network if you're setting up and safe guarding a VPN so you can SSH. Moving ssh if even needed at all should be to the provider's secured tools.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/new-using-amazon-ec2-in...

I really don't recommend extending responsibility for creature comforts. However you want to do this so be it.

> This makes no sense. By your own recommendation, "provider security" is an AWS offering.

Are you stating your system is infaliable? So why would you want to bear the infaliable claim and not shift it to the company providing it?

> What does Amazon's staffing have to do with best practices when securing a server deployed on their platform? Who said anything about "a fleet of security engineers"? How does any of that relate to securing that which one constructs, and ultimately is responsible for, when using said hosting services?

Tooling takes a team to support it. You think every company can afford a team to manage that tooling? And why should they? Not all businesses are tech companies but still need a digital footprint. They need to be selfconcious and choose provider practices to get the most out of them.

> Are you saying that your original statement of "You also shift fault to AWS rather than your company and team" is somehow an accepted convention?
Providers own the responsibility of their technology. In terms of failure if access is correctly configured and managed, yet their technology fails they owe your businesses it is very simple.

> And what wheel did I "reinvent"?

Implementing old security practices. Why wouldn't you move to be better pratices and prevent larger holes in your network? Often companies get into this repetitious cycle of reimplementation or reinvention of existing tools and technology just to manage access especially ssh. The convention of using a cloud platform is to use a cloud platform's security access not some sketched up VPN and SSH system.
Tunneling doesn't help. IPv4 host only knows about 32-bit addresses. It would be possible to have some proxy service but that would only work for subset and IPv6 is too big for that. What works is having IPv4 proxy for services.

There is no need for IPv4 hosts to talk to IPv6 hosts. For one thing, many hosts are dual-homed. IPv4 can keep doing its thing while everybody switches to IPv6.
I've avoided saying it since someone pointed out to me how racist the phrase honestly is but damn I've seen some rather, uhh, interesting product quality on some tools.

Guess like anywhere else, you get what you pay for. Both my best and worst tools are from China. But the cheap stuff is gonna be orders of magnitude more widespread, and both name- and no-name brands are more than willing to slap their labels on it if it'll make them a buck, not giving a crap about their reputation.
Apparently there's an idea for a feature to enable users to transfer their account and data from one federation node to another. Pretty sure it's in the "just an idea" phase, so don't hold your breath.
I had this misunderstanding for a long time until I saw Go explain the difference: https://go.dev/blog/waza-talk

The confusion here is parallelism vs concurrency. Parallelism is executing multiple tasks at once and concurrency is the composition of multiple tasks.

For example, imagine there is a woodshop with multiple people and there is only one hammer. The people would be working on their projects such as a chair, a table, etc. Everyone needs to use the hammer to continue their project.

If someone needed a hammer, they would take the single hammer and use it. There are still other projects going on but everyone else would have to wait until the hammer is free. This is concurrency but not parallelism.

If there are multiple hammers, then multiple people could use the hammer at the same time and their project continues. This is parallelism and concurrency.

The hammer here is the CPU and the multiple projects are threads. When you have Python concurrency, you are sharing the hammer across different projects, but it's still one hammer. This is useful for dealing with blocking I/O but not computing bottlenecks.

Let's say that one of the projects needs wood from another place. There is no point in this project to hold on to the hammer when waiting for wood. This is what those Python concurrency libraries are solving for. In real life, you have tasks waiting on other services such as getting customer info from a database. You don't want the task to be wasting the CPU cycles doing nothing, so we can pass the CPU to another task.

But this doesn't mean that we are using more of the CPU. We are still stuck with a single core. If we have a compute bottleneck such as calculating a lot of numbers, then the concurrency libraries don't help.

You might be wondering why Python only allows for a single hammer/CPU core. It's because it's very hard to get parallelism properly working, you can end up with your program stalling easily if you don't do it correctly. The underlying data structures of Python were never designed with that in mind because it was meant to be a scripting language where performance wasn't key. Python grew massive and people started to apply Python to areas where performance was key. It's amazing that Python got so far even with GIL IMO.

As an aside, you might read about "multiprocessing" Python where you can use multiple CPU cores. This is true but there are heavy overhead costs to this. This is like building brand-new workshops with single hammers to handle more projects. This post would get even longer if I explained what is a "process" but to put it shortly, it is how the OS, such as Windows or Linux, manages tasks. There is a lot of overhead with it because it is meant to work with all sorts of different programs written in different languages.
That sounds cool!

A completely false sense of security based in technological religion?

No, nobody needs that.

The difference being, probably the vast majority of humans _could_ publish in a journal if they devoted their life to it 100%.

Additionally the AI does not get bored or frustrated, which is probably one of the biggest impediments (other than money) that most people would have to such an endeavour.

If the AI had to do this while also doing all the other things humans do at the same time and constrained to the power of a human brain, then yes it would be unrealistic.
I think the difference is more to do with the fact that 'hallucination' is passed off as reality (whether it's ChatGPT confidently telling you that Abraham Lincoln had a MySpace page, or that weird guy on the train telling you that there are spiders in the seat cushions).

People are usually able to distinguish between their imagined scenarios and the real world.
I say some of it is still just plain bad - and I say it as someone who is considering a MacBook this year:

For example: the keys that Macs have instead of page up, page down, home and end still feels like four different "surprise me" buttons in every app I tried them in.
It's like trying to turn power steering in your car with the engine off. They're often not designed to "freewheel" so you're dragging the equipment with it.

Automatic sliding doors is the way to go, or if you have swing doors then they should be very large and well-hung.

The large also contributes to it - a normal door may be 3 feet wide, an accessible one can be 4 or even 5 feet wide.

I think the idea is “the government should take money from projects for the greater good” … this is a concept that is 100s of years old
It provides mailing lists, forums and isn't locked to a single type of VCS (in fact it doesn't even need a VCS at all, you can just release files - or you can host the VCS elsewhere and use it only for releases as, e.g., Free Pascal is doing with having the code in GitLab but all releases in SourceForge). Also as a user it has reviews and the project pages are not frontloaded with the source code but instead a summary that tells you what the program is, review/scores about it and even provide options to get notified whenever new versions are released. Hell, it even has screenshots.

Of course it all depends on each project to use them and IMO the SourceForge UX is far from ideal (also the pages load slowly), but at least the functionality is there.

> If security is a concern, getting a newer Pixel and installing GrapheneOS is your best bet. It's still not perfect and nothing beats just not having a cell phone, but that's a choice very few are okay with today.

> The trick with GrapheneOS, or any privacy setup, is that it requires attention to stay reasonably secure. The OS won't matter if you enable Google services and install apps that track and sell all your data.

Not sure how I could have been more clear here, I literally started by saying "if security is a concern". I stand by that, if security is a concern I would not use an iPhone or stock Android. I also stand by the assumption that for most people security isn't a concern.

So yes, I wouldn't recommend graphene for most people but I would recommend it to anyone both concerned about security and willing to sacrifice some functionality and convenience (both caveats in my original post).

You make it sound as though I changed my recommendation or story half way through. If that's your opinion, please do me a favor and point out specifically where I walked it back or contradicted myself.

Those things are not mutually exclusive. You absolutely seem to be moving the goalposts. You say your introducing points but each response is "what about the next issue down the line" i.e. moving the goalposts.

> To be honest, I don't really understand your position.

That there are best practices for every field of government, and they should be followed instead of politicians going by what they feel.

You're focusing on semantics and being for example "well define best", and I just don't see that as being a particularly productive avenue of conservation.

You want to try and make the point that everything is subjective, I guess, but it isn't. Again, there are best practices. Best as in the dictionary definition of the word. Context would be, as said, ensuring the UN charter of rights and freedoms is being implemented correctly (should I expect a request to define "correctly"?) It wouldn't be tyranny for a government to rule according to expert advice and suggestion, it would be competence.

If you really want to take the discussion into arguing about different people's definitions for best (or 'reasonable', or whichever word quote me saying), then we don't have anything further to discuss. It's not a discussion I find value in or have an interest in having.
Totally unrelated, but since we are talking about QOL tools on macOS, i thoroughly recommend BetterDisplay[0]

It enables reting scaling functionality on any external monitor, regardless of the resolution or the Apple compatibility.

It's great for 2k monitors that are totally hiDPI but are not deemed enough by Apple, and even for FHD secondarh displays that don't need that much display real state so you can use that real state to scale everything nicely.

They had a bug at one point where I would sign in with my google account and it would give me some sort of error. It felt like an edge case of logging in via u/p and later logging in via a google account (usually there needs to be some sort of account merge process there).

I suspect they didn't ditch passwords entirely for end users, but instead ditched them for a simpler implementation of their login flow.

If the only thing standing between America and another airplane based incident is the tireless work of the TSA, who fail 95% of their own red team attempts - why would there not be an incident out of a private aviation terminal where there is literally no security?

Either there’s some other non-security reason the likelihood has gone down and we don’t need the TSA — or it hasn’t, and something else (like reinforced cockpit doors) is stopping them and again we don’t need the TSA.

We’ve been running an A/B test the whole time between the public and private aviation terminals, and the results seem pretty compelling.

To answer your question directly: the procedures at the private terminal haven’t changed at all.

If it becomes a big problem, you just switch it around, wheelchair-bound people get boarded last. Then the advantage of faking it is somewhat removed.

>I would be extremely sceptical that this would help electric planes all that much. Current brushless motors aren't really all that heavy for their kW output and already boast 90% efficiency at optimal load and RPM, which on a plane will be for the majority of the cruise.

The highest power brushless motors listed on Amazon are about 8kW (motorcycle hub motors). Superconductors could make possible a motor of the same size with approximately a 50kW output. The weight savings would be considerable.

Read this paper for more info - the paper also has a picture of a 5 MW high temperature (liquid nitrogen) superconducting motor, which is about the size of a car, and being tested for potential use in propelling large ships.

I feel like all three major OSs are crap and have trade offs. It’s all about finding which one’s trade offs are ones you can live with. I can use any of the three, but each annoys me in different ways. I use macOS because I find it less annoying than Windows or Linux once I’ve set it up. The truly annoying bit is that each OS has a bit of exclusive software and a few exclusive features that are amazing… but I don’t want 3 OSs.

"Are y'all browsing the internet like this?"

Yes.

"If so how and why?"

Make HTTP request(s) outside browser then view with HTML reader. Many other ways to do it. Depends on personal preference.

Why: Because it's more flexible and efficient than using a browser. For example, 1. send multiple HTTP request in single TCP connection, 2. filter response body, e.g., using UNIX utilities, 3. it's both fast and reliable. There is no waiting.

"Isn't most of the web dependent on JavaScript?"

For ads and tracking, yes. For displaying text, generally no. In the later case, some sites may use Javascript to request text (JSON) from some other path or domain. In these cases, one can send the requests to the other path or domain without using JS. If the user prefers only text content, without graphics, this is especially convenient.

So your experience supports the accuracy of the pejorative meaning of "Chinesium" but you don't say it because it's "racist". Got it.

Japanese products used to have a poor reputation. Through years of hard work, the reputation greatly improved. More recently, Korean products underwent the same.
