I rented a car last year, and I had a number of errands that I couldn't do without a vehicle, so I got them done, and I also had a nostalgic little tour of sites old and new. I happened to visit Big 5 at one point and purchased some sunglasses. Also from Big 5, but purchased a while ago, I was wearing some fingerless black gloves, which are nice in the summertime when you need to touch a hot steering wheel.

Anyway, I returned the car on time and told the clerk, "it's all yours!" And he asked me, "are you sure you didn't leave anything in there? Like a firearm, for instance?" and I scoffed and said "no!" so he went out to check, and returned with my rosary.

So I don't know whether it was my somewhat "tactical" looking outfit with the gloves and a leather shoulder pouch, or if the vehicle had been tracked visiting the Big 5, but I was rather shocked and offended that he'd basically accused me of carrying a gun around and concealing it in the trunk of their rental. Though perhaps that sort of thing happens a lot of the time!
A large part of the world is made up of people that don't live around guns or know the proper names of their parts - living in the UK, the majority of people I know wouldn't know this, I bet it's the same for most of the people in Europe and Asia too.
This is just slowing down their AI, not saying they won’t have it.

China has just built the largest combat hospital across from Taiwan and over a dozen huge air raid shelters. Xi also passed a law that said Taiwan verbally refusing to be under the CCP control is an act of war.

We are waiting for the leadership there to settle down and stop using AI for genocide, no need to make it easy for them.
>As a backpacker and a sailor, I strongly feel that DWR/Gore-Tex stuff is garbage anyways- it's (only slightly) breathable when new, but when the coating wears after a few weeks or months, or gets dirty it becomes no longer hydrophobic, and the water sheets on completely blocking the pores.

Most jackets that use a durable water repellant require the coating be regularly maintained (cleaning, re-heating) and re-applied after some time. Manufacturers usually say "years", but one year seems more realistic, even in a not-that-wet climate.

That being said, I agree that Gore-Tex stuff is not waterproof enough for sailing. It's a compromise between waterproof/light-weight/packability/breathability.
Right, suddenly someone's doing the work for them and for "free".
In addition, it gives the United States and EU the chance to catch up and build up their domestic semiconductor capabilities without being undercut by chips from China. Countries have too slowly realized the importance of this and are playing catchup after years of underinvestment.

Fair, though it's too late to edit now.
Initially we strive for 100% interoperability.

The provider framework has been kept MPL, as have the providers, so we will keep being compatible.

We will see what the longer-term future brings, and we'll react accordingly. We also have a bunch of ideas for improvements to the provider ecosystem and their capabilities, but those will go through the public RFC process once it's in place.

I totally get this perspective. My first foray into Factorio ended abruptly when I realized I'd made a total mess and was now signed up for a bunch of miserable refactoring.

Later, I realized that was the wrong approach - just go build a new factory somewhere. It's fun to take a more "hacky" approach to Factorio than I allow myself at work sometimes.

Of course, that was when the game really got its hooks into me, and I quit after a few dozen hours when I realized that I was scratching the same itch that I could use for side projects and other learning.

It's a balance, idk. I'll definitely play the new expansion at some point, but I do find myself feeling a bit strange when I'm spending time learning how to do something ultimately worthless when I could be using the same kind of mental energy to build something tangible or learn some new skill.

In terms of happiness and life satisfaction, it's really clear that there's a sweet spot in terms of monetary wealth. Below a certain amount, happiness and satisfaction go down. But the same also happens above a certain amount, too.
I believe they are used fairly interchangeably in colloquial speech. E.g.

"Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?" (Guru and Premier, 1999)

"I'm like two magazines fully-loaded to your one" (ibid.)
Unfortunately by this point is a losing battle, most techies have been conditioned to believe that serving unencrypted raw HTML, HTML which contains no confidential information in it, might as well make the Dark Forces of Evil win. "What if someone MITM-es your recipes blog?".

Of course, it just happens that this let's encrypt push puts even more power in the hands of Google, the owner of Chrome. I would have said something about that, too, but yesterday someone re-posted the HN guidelines and I'm not up for another fight with Google engineers comp-ed 600k and up, engineers who are very eager to anonymously defend their employer online.
Obtaining the initial certificate is somewhat vulnerable to MitM if the attacker can divert the verification request to a server under its control. Some countries (including Iran IIRC) went as far as using BGP announces to do that (which makes it very obvious).

Let's Encrypt uses Multi-Perspective Validation (https://letsencrypt.org/2020/02/19/multi-perspective-validat...) in order to protect from most interception of the DV request.
Well, you are not alone. As a Math PhD, I want to believe that there is something less trivial than glorified linear regression to this whole AI/ML mess, but well, there isn't... It's non-linear transforms + holy Mary's all the way.
For what it's worth, the CNCF is not big on CLAs in general although, as far as I know, they don't specifically prohibit them. In general, they prefer to use a developer certificate of origin.
Sure, movies portray suppressors as incredible magic devices, but everyone I know thinks this is fiction.
I recently broke the screen of my fairphone. I went to the official website, ordered a genuine screen for 70$, it came by mail two days later. They sent me an email showing how to do the repair, it took me about 10 minutes to replace it with only a screwdriver. Note: the phone is water resistant.

My point is, repairable phones are totally feasible, if fairphone can deliver this service, why couldn't Apple ? (I know, because of profits). This fairphone may not be as sexy as an iPhone Pro, but it is still a very capable device. With the amount of R&D cash that Apple has, they could make a sexy repairable high end phone, but it is not in their interest.
If you’re not seeing anything then you’re not looking in the right places and don’t have the network.
Companies saying "we will let some FTEs contribute to this project along with their regular work" is very different from Amazon paying a dedicated team to work on it full time.
Reminds me of house buying. Realtors are experts at getting bids and creating a high stakes competition with 0 transparency or accountability. They can easily lie or mislead people (and a lot of them do).
There's a kind of busywork in note-taking, list-making, organizing, that can often feel like you're getting something done, but is a kind of procrastination.

Then, there's real value to taking notes that for me is most pronounced when I write them with a real pen and paper. I may never actually go back to these, but the act of writing them down solidifies things for me. Things like WWDC sessions, online courses. The value is the act of deliberately recording. There's a kind of brain/physical connection that happens.

Ultimately, intentionality matters. There are some projects where the note-taking itself is the point. The notes are the end product; you're producing something like a catalogue of thoughts. Hypercard.

But, it's easy to get lost in that if what you're really trying to achieve is 'over there' somewhere. It can be a way of avoiding the work entirely.
Sure, and that's not a bad thing by itself. It moves the needle up.

I don't think corporate has ever said "we have too many people who want to work". There will be more jobs out there that can't be automated, at least until we hit Terminator levels of sentience. But by then our robot overlords will solve capitalism for us.
Yep, totally standard - bit of a weird criticism tbh.

Ideally we would want to let people contribute freely without the need to sign anything extra. However, for the exact process we will defer to the Linux Foundation / CNCF. The ultimate goal is to ensure that a rug pull like this is never allowed to happen again.

Oh yeah or the various asteroid breaking games ! :D
I have a personal story that seems to dovetail with this article.

Back in the days of the pre-Y2K "crisis" hype, I lived in Colorado and was young and more impressionable, I started developing a prepper mentality. While I was pretty sure that we'd get through that, it seemed wise to plan for the future.

So, I fell into a group of like-minded people, and joined in conversations about what would be needed to survive in a post-collapse environment. We honed our hunting skills, pre-stocked camping backpacks, and formulated plans to flee into the mountains in case things went south. We also started looking into what it would take to buy a piece of property and build out a bunker, stock it, and prepare for whatever was to come.

My enthusiasm for this individual prepper mentality diminished quite rapidly due to a single conversation. I was in a "seminar" where we were all discussing the advantages/disadvantages of prebuilt bunkers and how to disguise them on the property. During a break, when I asked one of the "consultants" what his plan was. He took me aside, looked around so that nobody would hear him and said something along the lines of: "Kid, don't waste your time with this hiding in a bunker nonsense. Me and my kids and grandkids live up in the mountains and know where a lot of these preppers have their stashes. If things go south, we're just going use our bulldozers and diggers to dig them out and take what they've stored away for us. They won't be able to outlast a group of us."

I looked at him like he was Judas, but he then said. "Don't think I'm the only one in this business who's planning to do this, we'll gladly take their money and build whatever bunker they want, but at the end of the day, if things go to hell, we'll use whatever means we have to survive, and so if that means cracking open these stashes - so be it".

Then he said "the key to survival is being part of a community you can rely on. Ideally, this is your family as they're much less likely to betray you, but a good like-minded church group could also work".

I was a bit stunned by this, but it crystalized in my mind then, that the individual "prepper" was eventually doomed to fail at some point and it was pretty useless to prepare for it.

So, yes, I now agree that the best approach to "prepare" is to work to strengthen your community.
I'm not able to descipher how it works from that fragment.

This on wikipedia is clear, however:

Compared to coal and natural gas, though?
I did say most.

But in those cases yes - sunshine is not there for at least half the time and some areas have rather a lot of clouds.

Wind also some areas e.g. NW Europe have a lot but others don't.
I'm always baffled by people arguing that we shouldn't use HTTPS. Have these people forgotten the times when mobile providers would "optimize" images (=compress them to death) or even insert advertisements? Or the times when simply being on the same network as someone with alterior motives could lead to your credentials being stolen?

I get it, certificates are hard, but having free certificates by Letsencrypt has probably been one of the most beneficial things that happened to the Internet in the last 10 years. If someone doesn't like it, please put in the work to come up with a better solution, not arguing for an even worse solution.

The author of this article doesn't propose anything workable. Mentioning SSH is ridiculous, it's not meant to access servers you don't know. Also, I have seen more than a few sysadmins who would easily be tripped up by a MITM because they'd just wipe their know hosts file at the first sign of trouble. And these are TRAINED people.
The good news is that low-treatment ideas are spreading -- they might win out in due time.

> The sad thing is, that the bees can largely adapt to Varroa. It's the beekeepers that can't let them do it, because it means taking losses.

It's not even clear that it means taking losses. It might only mean taking losses for a while.
I found Lets Encrypt so convoluted that I would rather buy SSL certificates.
Even worse, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (and basically every new web technology) is only usable over HTTPS. I'm seriously starting to question the agenda behind this, this is not beneficial to the users in any way.

Self-signed certs should fine (if you validate them initially) but browsers make self-signed sites almost impossible to access, relying on Let's Encrypt or being subject to extortion is a shameful state for the web.

Also, what's with the ever-shrinking renewal periods? Why can't a certificate be valid for 10 years? They can revoke it anyway if it's been compromised or whatever.
Nothing in this blog post says this, or even implies it. Just because expecting a 10x improvement is unrealistic doesn't mean that it's impossible for the Rust compiler to get "much" faster for a more reasonable definition of "much" (say, 2x). He does say that there likely won't be some step change, but rather the result of lots of small improvements over a long period of time.
I used to work in the bulk storage industry and the running joke from 2005 until 2018 when I left was "surely this is the year tape will become obsolete".

Cold tier cloud storage absolutely has tape behind it. You can even send tapes to some cloud vendors.

Broadcasting is another giant customer. Companies like WBD have Exabytes or Zettabytes of digitized programming (movies, series, documentaries) which would be impractical to store on disk. The typical workflow is for the program scheduler to direct the robot to fetch the tape containing a program 24 hours in advance of the broadcast time and copy it to disk, then erasing the disk copy after broadcast.
I'm not going to take their word that they are illegal firearms when they demonstrate ignorance of firearms and firearms ads.
It's similarly incorrect to call a Ryzen 9 7950X3D a "chip", but if you complained about it, even on a hardcore PC enthusiast forum, you'd probably be downvoted and mocked for being uselessly pedantic.

How?

Truth is a human thing. Statistically averaging out 4, 5, 6, N text generations from an LLM will not converge to any “truth”.

You have essentially stated that outputs from a text generator are normally distributed around “Facts”.

May I gently suggest, that and older quote about an infinite number of simians, typewriters and the works of Shakespeare, is more appropriate ?

You happen to remember a particular piece of knowledge, so you project that expectation onto others. Theory of mind.

> yes, we expect professional software developers to have basic maths skills

Skill != knowledge. "What is a prime number" can be looked up and understood by any competent programmer in <5 minutes.

> "what is a prime number" is taught to 7 year olds, it's not vector calculus

Then it's reasonable to expect that an interviewee would be able to learn it as well, given the same resources. It does not however follow that an interviewee would inherently have that knowledge, just because 7 year olds are taught it.

Bottom line is, you're making too many assumptions about complete strangers.

> Why do you hate the short lifetimes?

Because they require more frequent maintenance. That has to happen either manually or through automation. LE seems to think that automation means that short lifetimes aren't painful, but I disagree -- if for no other reason than that there are plenty of places where automation is not feasible.
I may be holding out hope out of a sense of charity, admittedly. It feels right to hope that a man who is shockingly influential (see Ronan Farrow’s latest) won’t just continue to get worse.
> The certificates provide no security

Uh... it guarantees that the entity you're communicating with is the one with control over the web server you're trying to access.

The points about HTTP are worthless. Everyone's web traffic should be E2EE for everything. I don't understand someone arguing that it should be possible to spy on other people on your network.
I was hoping for more. I guess I watched, bid and lost enough eBay auctions to realize that people would bid up the price of a used item well beyond the price of buying it new on any number of retail sites. The thrill of winning was the only explanation I could come up with.

eBay or whatever the "jar of coins" is, I try to figure out what it is worth to me before placing the first bid - and never go beyond that. If I fail to overpay, I'm OK.

In this context, I think it's an appeal to the ethics of property rights over some other framework. It's an answer to the (undefended in the post) statement "[Rate limiting] is certainly immoral" by offering a framework in which it is not: "People run servers, and they host users on those servers. What is 'moral' on those servers is the will of the operator, and we are all guests. Morality extends to us the opportunity to freely leave at any time; it need not extend us more than that."

One can argue this framework is bad, but it is a framework under which one can consider the question of whether rate-limiting is immoral.

(I'd even go further to argue that "my property my rules unless the government has declared otherwise" is a default ethical framework for, at least, most Americans. Be it Disney World or my own hearth, there are a set of rules, written and unwritten, that those who do not co-own the property must abide while inhabiting the property or operating the property, and the owner may revoke the privilege of inhabitance or operation at, broadly, their discretion. Maybe "ownership makes right" isn't good enough for the specific context of "a user of a freely-provided authenticated public forum", but I think the burden is on the person holding that opinion to explain why we need a rule more restrictive than the default property-ownership-based 'my forum my rules').
HashiCorp manages a handful (~4 [0]) of the providers, while over 2,000 are managed by the community. I suspect breaking the interface would be further damaging to their reputation. The clouds will also have some influence around their provider.

If it’s relevant and newsworthy, I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

In the about us section they state their reporting is “exploring the ways technology is shaping–and is shaped by–our world.”

I’d say this reporting falls squarely in those crosshairs.
CLAs are very misunderstood in the software industry. Every open source project should make its contributors sign CLAs, and you should be wary of using one that doesn't. Why? Because any single contributor can claim at any point in the future that the project is using their code illegally, and that you/your company should pay them for using their proprietary IP for all of these years. Can you prove that you audited every single line in the project you used and were sure of its copyright status? A CLA ensures exactly that. There's a reason why Linux Foundation, Apache, CNCF, Mozilla, heck even FSF all have strict CLA requirements.

Relicensing is a completely separate conversation, and there are plenty of open source CLAs which don't have that provision.

Yes, but SSL is not used for plain HTTP.

Also, I think you meant TLS but that is only used in HTTPS not HTTP.
They were flashing an aircraft with a laser - none of this is surprising...

That said, I loathe the police in my area because they basically don't do anything. Dangerous drivers and motorcycles are more common than ever, my neighbor in a nice neighborhood was car jacked at gun point and police were annoyed she called.

The worst example was police taking 2hrs to show up after a friend was hit by a drunk driver... by the time they bratholized the drunk driver she was already under the limit.

For me, I'm far more worried about license plate scanners on police cruisers than FLIRs on helicopters (they've had this tech since 2006).

We provided a dedicated team on a temporary basis. Once the project is in the foundation, we will make a financial contribution, with which dedicated developers will be funded. At that point our devs will gradually hand over to the new, fully independent team. The other members of the initiative so far follow the same pattern but I can't speak on their behalf re: exact commitments.
Why Google? Because this is a big data problem and Google mastered big data and ML on big data a long time ago. Most big pharma hasn't completely internalized the mindset required to do truly large-scale data analysis.
