A military friend of mine deployed in Iraq in 2009 could contact me on one computer system, but the other was was locked tight, eg, with glue filling the USB slots.

Bruce Schneier writes at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/05/nsa-how-to-rem... :

> Since I started working with the Snowden documents, I bought a new computer that has never been connected to the internet. If I want to transfer a file, I encrypt the file on the secure computer and walk it over to my internet computer, using a USB stick. To decrypt something, I reverse the process. This might not be bulletproof, but it's pretty good.

At https://www.wired.com/2013/10/149481/ he also writes "Osama Bin Laden used one. I hope human rights organizations in repressive countries are doing the same." and "the Natanz nuclear plant in Iran" used one as well.
> The end result is that, as the layers of self-entrenching management grew, basically every engineer left within 3 years

I'm currently in this situation. Our small company was bought out a couple years ago. Before, we had one meeting every quarter and now we have at least one meeting every day (if not more). The managers aren't listening when I tell them that engineers are leaving because there are too many meetings. The crazy thing is that most of the meetings aren't even related to what we actually work on, it's absolutely insane.
Personal and Psychological Dimensions of AI Researchers Confronting AI Risks
Well that's the most obvious way to put FUD out there.

It might be a good time to review the number of failed launches on crew rated rockets (the safety requirements on which are roughly equivalent to the requirements for carrying nuclear material). Particularly ones which led to a loss of crew, as those would correspond most closely to a possible nuclear material release.

It's far less scary, but alas not as convenient for FUD.
I'm also quite interested in the source of their peace of mind.

It might be that they're already involved in that project and it's flush with space and distribution; the message here might just be "we got this".

Or it might be "don't worry, corporate feudalism is great."

This is a good one. Management and understanding of state vs. just shipping all the state.
I really like the sneers about some terrible naming, e.g. in the slide on "The self-attention operation":

> “keys”, “queries”, “values”, in one of the
least-meaningful semantic designations we have in deep learning

And in the context of LSTMs:

> throwing in some other names, like “forget gate”, “input gate”, “output gate” for
good measure

This makes me feel more confident about actually understanding these topics. Before, I was totally misled by the awkward terminology.
I'm intrigued. Should all smart refrigerators be able to run web servers? TVs? Would you want them to?
It already happened with Kosmos 954 and will probably happen again soon: ~20 other satellites had been sent in space with the same tech. Kosmos crashed away from (human) life centers but that was a huge stroke of luck. Research area was 100k+ km2.

Launches are less to be feared because they are oriented toward sea and the most critical moment are the first minutes. The device discussed is intended to travel away from earth so as you noted it won’t be dangerous after it quit orbit.

> It was a common position among European and American communists that the Stalinist turn was a grave error that communists should strongly oppose…

That was a “common position” in the sense that it was around, but it wasn’t the overriding position until 1956, when both the brutal Soviet invasion of Hungary and Khrushchev’s changes allowed European communists to make an easy break with Stalin. Before that, many European Communists were reluctant to alienate the Soviet Union or be tarred as Trotskyists.

Then in the mid–late 1960s, the decline of Stalin’s popularity gave way to a rise in Mao’s popularity among some French, British, and German Communists, a position which has also dated badly.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Communist movement in many European countries remained fragmented, with the largest parties being post-Stalinist, but splinter parties still upholding Stalin and Mao as the models of their struggle. Interestingly, some of the smallest splinter parties operated just like cults of the Scientology sort, only without any religious basis – there was a trial in the UK fairly recently about an old Maoist party keeping a woman hostage for years.
I did. It was a legal/contract restriction about permissible uses. Their corporate data wasn't allowed off the computer, and I wasn't allowed to use it for anyone else's corporate data.

Configuration like you mention is a different matter.
Many coroutine uses are not asynchronous, but synchronous, they block when resumed and do not execute in parallel. This permits cooperative multitasking, versus preemptive (or preemptive with a bunch of locks to imitate cooperative which is, of course, a waste). Since they can, in principle, execute within the same thread (with C++'s implementation and some others you the programmer can send them off to other threads for execution, but that's an explicit choice) this can simplify concurrent system design and execution (in the concurrency is not parallelism sense). In the single threaded case, it's also faster than multithreaded asynchronous code since the context switching (modulo cache misses) is greatly reduced. Especially useful in the case where you want synchrony and not asynchrony.

They're also very useful if you've ever had to create a bare metal multitasking system. Much easier for state management than older style "while (true)" loops with a million state variables so functions can resume via a switch/case as pseudo-coroutines. (Well, easier if you don't have to implement the coroutine mechanism yourself.)
I am bookmarking this comment. My first job out of college was a great project for the world, but also at nearly grocery store wages. It was a small company with literally 2-3 people. The CEO was an old man "with no retirement" and also "2 million dollars in debt"

Later when I offered to defer my wages until the product was released (it seemed he was "running out of money"), eventually all the trust building tactics he had used on me over the years were cashed out on as I gradually became disillusioned to realize him paying me dirt was deliberate. He could have easily paid me a decent wage for that work, but ultimately I met nothing but resistance and breadcrumbing and stonewalling when trying to get a decent pay

"I don't have the money to pay you" he said at one point after the fact when I asked to be paid what he owes me. But afterwards and after I had rage quit, he simply hired someone else to start from scratch on my 2nd project after I had told the other developer that one thing I saw first hand working for him was how corporations don't care about people

Granted I wasn't the fastest developer in terms of the number of hours I worked, and the new person he hired seems to have been pretty good, definitely above my level, assuming they implemented all the features I did. But I was getting my work done just fine as far as I and the other dev could tell
or `podman run -V "$PWD":/mount debian /mount/myapp` if you want a really heavy fix.

Packaging for nix isn't as hard as it might seem so I've found it easier just to do it the 'right' way.
Yes, correct. If this is their best shot at a solution, it doesn't bode well for their interpretation of the AGPL allowing any UX-friendly version of this, let alone a normally functioning API Gateway.
> But, as I understand it, current case law allows copying where it's necessary to functionally make use of a copyrighted piece of work.

Not just case law; it's explicit in statute too:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/117

> (a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy.—Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided:

> (1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner, or

> (2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.
> and destroyed whatever trust was left in science, medicine, governments and media

If you can't distinguish between science, medicine, media and government policies, there's little we can do.

People need to have basic understanding and the ability to differentiate and not mix up and conflate everything.

If you're getting your scientific data from headlines, for-profit media outlets, opportunistic politicians, or podcasters and what not.

This isn't the same as scientific dissidents.

Do we need more political dissidents? Maybe that's the better topic here.

> There is a reason why these freedoms are absolute and non-negotiable: Even when people think they have a good reason to violate them, they're wrong

Those freedoms are actually not absolute, and are negotiable. I understand that you would want them to be absolute and are a freedom of speech absolutist. But don't claim that they are currently absolute.

So in fact, we might ask ourselves, why aren't they currently implemented in an absolute framework in any country not even the US?

Now, to be frank, I'll admit the possibility that maybe an absolute freedom of speech is better, but I also recognize certain dangers with it that might want to put a few little caveats to protect from misinformation, abuse, hatred, defamation, fear mongering, incitement of violence, etc.

And I don't know which is truly best.

My point though is that, when making policies, these concerns come into the picture, where they do not in a purely scientific framework.

Because when making policies, you also need to ask yourself:

1. Could this cause a panic

2. Could this hurt our collective effort to fight off the virus

3. Could this cause unrest that would just add to the pile of problems we already face

4. Could it just distract us and lead us towards a dead end

5. Is there a solid evidence base or data to support this

6. How might international implications or considerations affect it

And so on.
The new copyright act, I don't know what all changed.

All I can say is that analogue copies were permitted. You play it back analogue and record digitally.

A youtube copyright claim one of my videos got, from where I filmed fireworks and there was music playing in the background, which was then auto-flagged by the machine, I responded with that video not being about the music and that I can't record fireworks without that music playing and that I had no influence over the person playing that music and that it was technically an analogue recording.

The claim was dropped.

That is however different from this case of the IA and Sony etc

I’m willing to accept the 0 to 100M to 0 plot line. But I agree, if this was a truly productive post the poster would have also admitted some level of personal culpability. They are the founder after all and the VC is just another stakeholder. The founder hired those VPs, not the VCs.

>Open the song Aerodynamic and fast-forward to 2:28, start listening to the passage. I hear the higher pitch on my right and the lower one on my left ear. What about you?

tbh I'm not sure which notes they're referring to here. There are a couple overlapping high/low pairs in that segment, and I'm not sure which is the octave/those frequencies.

One seems like higher is more in my left, but it clearly follows the left speaker on my headphones. The others warble around for me, though I'm pretty strongly right handed.

---

Even after reading and listening to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_illusion I'm totally lost as to what this post or wikipedia are describing. Are people hearing like:

left ear right ear
-------------------------
high (nothing in right ear)
low
high
low

or something else? I mostly hear:

left ear central right ear
--------------------------------------
high low low
low low high
high low low
low low high

I'm definitely hearing "low" while hearing "high" on the opposite ear, though it feels like there's a basically constant central "low" as well. The high tone clearly moves between sides.

Maybe worth mentioning: I've had a hearing test in the past year and I'm essentially completely balanced, so there likely isn't a tone-deafness issue on one side that could cause a reception imbalance. Could the illusion just be hearing damage? And then handedness just follows which ear takes more damage due to more noisy things happening / less protection on that side? That could also explain why left-handed people are less strongly sided, as they're forced to do things more balanced due to right-hand-only stuff existing.

There are limits to what the commandline arguments can take. And even if you fallback to files instead, you still need to serialise a potentially huge amount of data. (Wanna serialise a 1GB tree that is going to get only one lookup in each call to the script?) On top of that, you're missing any chance of in-memory caching, because the script call can't preserve that, while FFI could. Then there are things that are just not possible to serialise like pointers to mapped memory, file descriptors (outside of unix sockets), etc.

Finally even if everything works, a command execution and parsing results is massively slower than a function call. So yeah, there's lots of restrictions on what you can practically do that way.
I feel like looking at the first working versions of a big successful project is a great way to understand how it works.

Usually it will only contain the most important core features without a lot of abstractions/generalizations. So it is actually manageable to read through all of the code in a couple of days.
The ONLY reason these disgusting predators can colonize human cultural output like this is the antisocial, and tremendously stupid copyright laws enacted.

It always makes me wonder why people want a tiny cartel of companies to own humanity’s music culture, and subsequently be able to bully companies like Spotify, Youtube and others into enforcing extrajudicial policies that maintain the cartel’s dominance.

> Various companies make a lot of money by implementing "dark patterns", such as getting customers onto subscriptions and then making it hard for them to cancel. They can't admit that this is why their revenue went up, so they make a bunch of claims about how their success comes out of [various beneficent strategies], but anyone who tries to replicate the success by using those lovely strategies is liable to go broke.

This bullet point makes me wonder if there are situations where newcomers end up beating the original company because consumers are willing to pay an enormous premium just to avoid the dark patterns.

Carrot solutions? :)
Cloudflare due to their security posture around customer accounts.
Yeah, but is there say... Scientific consensus that "safer" for the procedure is safer for the species? I mean, we don't really have a predefined goal, right? And I'd posit we're increasingly distancing ourselves from any consensus there - which to a large extent is how the domain of knowledge is circumscribed. The powers disbursing research funding want results that would ostensibly yield benefit in some system in some formulaic calculation as to where we should be going - but the human species is so far away from consensus on that.

For instance lot of contemporary issues can be tracked back to the effects of population and the infrastructure and logistics necessary to maintain it. Suddenly economists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, demographers, et cetera... There's suddenly manifold complications once you stop looking at it in a vacuum and under a microscope, and thus consensus ceases. Importantly, we must consider the resolution at which policy is informed by inputs from these various intersecting fields and what should be given precedence and also important is the practicality and the means of application. Most importantly of all, I think, is that autonomy be granted to individuals and communities to conduct the experiments of life as this forwards the goal of truthseeking rather plainly. And with that the flow of ideas and experience.
Of course it does, especially when they don't know that they are breaking it.

So much for "ignorance of the law excuses not", it does if you are a cop.

And for someone who invented “clearly established right"...

And if prosecutor doesn't want to prosecute cops, judge, jury, etc. isn't even involved.

I'm guessing not, unless they consider using it and possibly complaining "helping".
100% agree with this. The biggest issue seems to be that they make no visible effort to find and disable user-uploaded copyright content, so it's effectively a free-for-all file sharing site. A lot of the cases are especially egregious because the uploading user will give the content an invalid "license" like CC0 that they have no right to apply.

I picked three random pieces of recent copyright content (Adobe Lightroom, the video game Hollow Knight, the Taylor Swift album "Folklore"), and I found all of them easily and trivially on the Internet Archive. In fact I found hacked versions of the entire Adobe CC suite. The IA is at least as complete a source for pirated content as most public bittorrent trackers.

Officially, of course, the Internet Archive is subject to DMCA safe harbor protections. This is user uploaded content, and so long as IA responds quickly to takedown notices, they're in the clear. But this story represents the situation de jure, not de facto. Ever since Viacom v. YouTube, it's been abundantly clear that even the biggest online platforms can't use this excuse in practice when sharing of copyright IP becomes rampant. YouTube put in the first version of their much maligned "Content ID" system the year after the Viacom lawsuit, and the parties settled out of court after YouTube lost at the circuit court level. [1]

I don't believe that the Internet Archive, as a much smaller entity, is likely to see a significantly different outcome - that is, unless the lawsuits manage to bankrupt them entirely. This would suggest they need to be much more proactive about removing or disabling access to copyright content on the platform.

Popularizing dynamic DNS seems like a good idea, but may require new protocols altogether in order to support all the IP address changes. But yea, more edge compute; owned by the source. Sounds good to me.
You said it was just a bunch of “broke college students protesting”. You are completely wrong, but you truly “show your a$$” by making a remark like that about NOLA. Many other cities support BDS, especially internationally where there is more freedom of speech on this issue, including Dublin.
I suggest you take a second look at that article you reference. They haven't calculated the rate for this year so you have no evidence for your claim.

Straight from the article:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which posted the numbers, has not yet calculated a suicide rate for the year, but available data suggests suicides are more common in the U.S. than at any time since the dawn of World War II.
