Next step, we make an open source loadable module with a small virtual machine that loads blobs from user mode.

It will only run blobs signed by a private key owned by NVIDIA, the public key is part of the open source module.

Or we create a hypervisor that virtualizes linux, and bypasses most of the kernel or...

There's always a way... this is just annoying and makes it more expensive to get decent drivers for Linux, so less effort will be spent there.
Personally I'd remove it from the National Flood Insurance Program. If the buyer can get a private company to insure it then the sale can go through. If the buyer cannot get a private company to insure it then the sale can only go through if they are not using a mortgage (mortgaged properties legally have to carry flood insurance). Couple this with plenty of disclosures so the buyer is aware they are taking on significant risk.

EEA still has the four freedoms which was not acceptable to the UK.

A smart person who has read up on EU/UK and some European migration situations will note that migration to e.g: Denmark/Switzerland is still difficult despite being part of those four freedoms. This is because they bothered to mitigate migration within the parameters of the law; since the right to work under EU's four freedoms only applies for 6 months.
Not sure about viruses. Yes, ads have been used as a vector, and there are zero days, but I think mainstream OSes and browsers have pretty good security if you keep up to date? I suspect phishing attacks are a bigger issue.

It can be quite difficult to tell the difference between spooky coincidences and actual targeted ads. My money is on spooky coincidences, but it's a problem that many people imagine otherwise, and there's no way to prove it one way or the other because modern technology is basically magic as far as most users are concerned.
This whole idea is completely wrong, in my opinion. You first need to demonstrate why your sampling model/methodology (collection of top50 NA CS departments) will lead to an error-free way to establish a discrimination type mechanism of selection. There is a near absence of people of South east asian origin in the NFL, but I don't think the NFL is doing so on discriminatory grounds. The end result is under-representation, but the underlying mechanism is not one of malicious discrimination by the talent scouts.

The point is, lets discuss evidence of discrimination rather than a weird "this can only be possible with discrimination" argument.
TiVo, like all such products, ran proprietary software "on top" of the Linux kernel (and "underneath", typically, in the form of a closed source bootloader). As far as I know, no company bothers to apply such DRM unless they do this. So this is kind of a distinction without a difference.
>You don't claim something on based on beliefs.

What's your evidence for this claim?
It's about uncertainty though so it doesn't really work if you know it will turn up (also 1 minute is hardly a delay).

People would probably choose a system of 0-30mins delay with no info vs 0-60mins with info, if they know thats the rules. 'it'll be here within half an hour' is close enough to knowledge to get the uncertainty out the way which is a lot of the problem.

But if passengers don't know what the rules are or when (or if) the train is coming, and you'll get a lot less complaints and grumbling passengers with a 0-60 full info delay system then you do with a 0-20 with no info. In one you know the train is coming in 47mins. Annoying, but you can tune out for 30 mins, get a coffee, read hacker news, tell a friend you'll be 47 mins late etc. In the other it might be here in 2 mins or 20. You can't even nip to the loo without concern you might miss it. In the first instance you are mildly annoyed but you replan your time; in the second you're on edge for what turns out to only be 8mins, but a highly annoying and stressful 8 mins.

It's the uncertainty that's painful not so much the delay (for small-ish values of delay!)
Sounds like you are actually an exception that proves the rule. Unfortunately the average buyer of a crossover/SUV has at most 4 passengers in the vehicle, and most vehicle-miles driven are single-occupant. Both uses which are better served by other vehicle types that have less negative externalities.

I don't think SUVs should cease to exist, but we should stop subsidizing them with broken CAFE rules that incentivize manufacturers to make SUVs/trucks/crossovers to the exception of cars, and price them accordingly. Most Americans don't have 7 people in their family, so the most common vehicle on the road shouldn't be designed to accommodate an exceptional circumstance at many other costs to society.
Buy MSFT? They have a good investment in OpenAI and their involvement may bring growth in their stock.
I also did benchmarks with zlib and libarchivemount via their library interface here [0]. It has been a while that I have run them, so I forgot. Unfortunately, I did not add libdeflate. I did not even add ISA-l. At that point, I was already would have been glad if my custom-written gzip decompressor could match the speed of the gzip command line utility, which for some weird reason is half as fast as zlib.

I have been unable to re-watch that movie. Because it hits too close to home.
Following all my opinion, but easier to write without constant hedging:

IMO public discourse is less controlled by private corporations/organizations now than at basically any other point in our history, with the possible exception of like, 10 years ago.

There was never previously any realistic method for a private citizen to gain a platform to meaningfully influence discourse. Traditional media _literally_ defined the narratives in play. I’d argue that a whole lot of the ideological carnage and polarization going on is directly a result of the “democratization” of public discourse.

While there was some oversight, the reality is that news media still had basically total control over whatever narrative they were interested in pushing.

In fact, I’d argue that a lot of the ideological chaos and subsequent censorship we have seen recently is precisely a result of private corporations losing control of public discourse.
If you must have a child hormones will have little to do with it. Reproduction can be made into a very routine robotic like activity, like going to the gym.

> Many, many years ago we (SANS Internet Storm Center) published some interesting research about survival time of new machines connected to the Internet. Back then, when Windows XP was the most popular operating system, it was enough to connect your new machine to the Internet and get compromised before you managed to download and install patches. Microsoft changed this with Windows XP SP2, which introduced the host based firewall that was (finally) enabled by default, so a new user had a better chance of surviving the Internet.
Yea, pretty much this. I'm half of a two person couple well into the upper middle class - we live in a one bedroom condo that costs more than half a million dollars... kids are not a realistic financial decision.
As far as I remember, the "best" displays on the Elitebooks sport a whopping 72%... NTSC coverage. Some are worse, at around 48% or something.

I don't understand why they cheap out so much on displays. These could be very nice little laptops... My 10 yo MBP's display is running circles around them...
i had veery long discussions with them for few weeks or so. i was wearing multiple engineering hats. vp was technical and knew what and why was needed. vp was brought in for enforcement action when it started to become bottleneck for other teams. after VP performed "enforcement" they gave estimation of 3 people for 3 months of work. And they wanted to implement half of the requirements and not in a way that were specified.

I went to guy next room, his estimation was 1 week of coding and 1 week of unit/testing/integration/documentation. He ended up been the one who did it

the bottom line that they just didn't want to work. on different occasion same two developers during review of requirements literally said "but to implement this functionality we would have to write a code/work".

Just for a context, this was company where company had gifts for 20 and 25 years anniversary of employment. And this is company that makes software for living. (Not the blue company.)

PS. Just for a more complete picture, that company had "agile methodology department" that had developed internally sprint/ticket tracking system and wiki. those systems weren't linked so you couldn't cross reference things. Project that I was hired to do was given exception from many policies so I decided to get jira/confluence, which despite been universally despised here were light years ahead of what company had. In process I failed to get approvals from it, information security, agile and some other departments. At the end (after 3 months) general manger personally approved it and took personal responsibility for any breaches.

yet, 1 year later I got visit from internal audit who weren't happy that I spent money on system that duplicates functionality of existing system.

PPS. the really funny part, i interviewed with google and was asked to tell how i had organizational challenge or something and how I managed to overcome it. I told this story (about buying jira) and after doing it was asked if i could do something different. I answered that given organizational structure it was the only way to approach. Interviewers verdict was that I am not humble enough because I can't admit that something could be done differently. Hence i am not googley enough and therefor "strong no hire"
It's not a "camera", you need more than one WiFi device and you can't identify people. Still impressive and scary without the hyberbole.
Not surprising considering that non-boarding private secondary schools in the area are over $30k per year.
Is there some evidence that these chemicals are more present in countries with lower birthrates?

Plastic, plastic byproducts, etc. are some of the cheapest and most readily available materials in the world, including in developing countries. The much stronger predictor here seems to be HDI and industrial maturity.
Are the Indians in NA somehow fundamentally different? It isn't like we've left the rest of our social/cultural practices and ills behind upon moving to the West. Thus it makes sense that if there's evidence of caste based discrimination at the highest levels of education in India, there is likely such discrimination in Indian communities in the West too.
I worked at Meta for many years. We extensively researched this phenomenon ("I was talking about XYZ, then 30 minutes later, I saw an ad for it! The mics must be on!")

The conclusion we drew was much more nefarious than "the machines are listening". It's that you, personally, are a very basic machine of patterns and habit. You took as input some signal that you were not concious of which STIMULATED you to talk about XYZ. That same signal was in your environment. It stimulated others who match your demographic profile. They made explicit search engine queries for it. Since you are almost exactly the same person as the people in your environment, you are a high-value user account to target that same ad to since the likelihood that it would be in your unconscious mind and thus trigger a buy-signal when you see the ad is higher.

TLDR, you are not special. You are a meat computer consuming the same environmental input data as everyone you know. You are almost the same in your behavior and desires as your peers. If this wasn't true, ad targeting would not be worth a bazillion dollars.
I should have clarified what I meant with the 2GB figure. I am counting the memory consumption of everything: running Linux (specifically Fedora Server 38), running k3s (which means CoreDNS, Klipper, Traefik, ...), running the oauth2-proxy, then running the whole suite of Jitsi (sans Jibri, since I do not need the functionality it provides). I simply ran "free -h" in my server and saw 2GB of memory usage.

The "actual" amount of memory that goes into running jvb and jicofo seems to be roughly 600 MB, which is still a lot to some, I guess. But I was able to run a meeting with three people and share my screen with peak memory usage at 2.2 GB -- again, for the whole system.

k3s-server makes up nearly half of the 2 GB idle figure, sitting at about 700 MB of usage (according to the top(1) command I ran for this post).

If 2 GB idle memory usage is too much, then I would say ditch k3s entirely and handle everything with docker-compose, using Nginx as your reverse proxy. That should at least bring the figure down to about 800 MB (jvb, jicofo, prosody, containerd, oauth2-proxy, nginx).
Having read the article and somewhat followed the SK troubles, the only sensible conclusion I can draw is that the culture itself has become poor and unable to prosper, and is on a downward trajectory. A small % of people will obviously succeed but this doesn’t really make a culture. You having children today doesn’t guarantee the circumstances for your children, no matter how much of a financial or otherwise buffer you put in place - because your neighbours are in the same situation and nobody wants to take action to divert from the current course. This is another society that’s on track for extinction.

You just can’t play along and hope for the best. It doesn’t work that way and it never did. Forcing your kids to stay up until 4 am to study while you get yourself into debt is not a recipe for success no matter what the rest of the country is doing. It’s just terrible from a societal perspective.
I really want to do better on this....

But at the moment I use SyncThing, and a 4TB external drive for backups. I use Back in Time, a GUI Rsync frontend.

I organize things generally first by who it's for, then by the project. I have my personal projects folder, and a clients folder.

I don't have any system for anything lower level that that, nor do I want one really. If something is used by multiple projects I'll just copy it and not have to worry about mentally refcounting.

But I might make a folder for a specific type of reusable resource and copy things to and from it.

I share pretty much exclusively via Facebook and email.

I like to very aggressively avoid DIY software in daily life if I can, I don't really have any scripts that are just for personal use although I do have a few FOSS projects, so I don't use any scripts or anything to manage files.

A lot of small stuff like my books and music collection is just straight synced between all my devices. SyncThing is pretty amazing and makes everything a lot easier.

My photos mostly start on a phone, so they are synced as well, if I delete a crappy one on the computer, or move one elsewhere, it will go away on the phone(There is a metadata record left behind by the sync engine though, unless you manually delete the record, I think it includes filenames, not sure if that's an issue for the privacy types).

Code of course is all on GitHub, I don't do any significant programming outside of projects big enough that they have their own Git repo.

I use streaming services and don't pirate anything, so I have less data to manage.

I'm just starting to approach having enough files where 1TB on my laptop isn't enough for everything I've ever made, so I think I will probably move to a NAS or cloud for some things. Backups and not that important files will go on the NAS which will have its own redundancy, more important stuff will be cloud and on my laptop if they fit.

Unfortunately, NASes with RAID are expensive
Just the disks cost a ton, and then the NAS itself costs a lot if you want a nice low power commercial box with a remote access service, not some old server from eBay. Maybe I'll try a Pi Zero W 2 and USB disks.
This is such a creative way to put yourself to sleep! I'm sure this would be a great way to relax and get a good night's rest. I'm sure a lot of people would find this helpful!
They should call this initiative Open AI.
> Private property rights are not absolute, sure. But is regulating media companies going to solve anything?

I am not sure if you were aware, but this article is about ISPs and we currently have laws that already regulate them and make the behavior described in the article as illegal.

So yes we do regulate them. And these laws are called common carrier laws. And those have have existed for decades and uncontroversial, and yes they work.

> Are there any regulations which both sides could be happy with

Both sides are indeed already happy with our existing common carrier laws that apply to ISPs, yes. Common carrier laws are not controversial.
Who Will Understand Consciousness?
I have indeed paid my federal, state, and local taxes online, and it was not too terrible.

On the other hand, the USPTO patent database is nearly impossible for anyone other than a professional to navigate. Their search sucks.

Since you mentioned taxes: the fact that Intuit and H&R Block have successfully prevented the IRS from doing what nearly everyone wants: file your taxes for you, for free. For the vast majority of taxpayers, they could do that, yet the political pressure from paid tax preparers have prevented it, at least up to now.

And this illustrates the flaw with your starry-eyed Pollyanna-ism: no matter how honest & hard-working the bureaucrats might be, they're still accountable to corrupt pressures.

The 1950 census data, recently released, also sucks. To find one family whose exact address I wasn't sure of, I had to manually open about 50 strips of census taker daily records and decipher the hand-written names & addresses. Merely finding these 50 strips took more effort than nearly anyone would exert.

Their Search failed to find the family. I don't anyone could figure this out unless they were extremely motivated.

And last but certainly not least, let's look at the Obamacare website rollout, which got a Cabinet secretary fired.

So don't give us a couple good anecdotes and say, "look, the government works great!"
> how do you get the data about how to build your abstraction without first living without one to understand what parts of the system should be abstracted?

The minute I have any duplicated logic it gets combined as much as possible. I hate duplicating anything. Some duplication is impossible to avoid and I hate that too. I hate specifying the same logic in 2 places (say client-side and server-side for web validation). I will do anything possible to avoid that.

Good abstractions reduce mental load. I wouldn't be able to manage 20+ different applications if they didn't share a huge amount of common internal framework and have as a little duplication of logic as possible. I'm actually pretty militant about ensuring every abstraction is a programmer benefit and will remove layers if they serve no purpose.

I almost always build things out as a library. If we are consuming an external service, I will make that it's own library/framework to be consumed by the project it interacts with. Even if it's only ever used by one project. This is always more work initially but has never failed to be right choice.
It's there. Relevant fragment:

> Another economic factor in the falling birthrate is the rising price of real estate and a resulting increase in unmarried or late-marrying people. The tradition in Korea is for men to prepare a family home before marrying, and the rising cost of housing in recent years has thereby triggered a decline in marriage rates.
Because MS owns half the company, you could invest there but would also be investing in the rest of their product lines. If you are an accredited investor, Microventures and perhaps some others allow investment in pre-IPO shares.
ctrl+f "real estate"

"Another economic factor in the falling birthrate is the rising price of real estate and a resulting increase in unmarried or late-marrying people.

I see they're really committed to that 'No Limits' partnership! Good for them.

Now I have seen everything
In 2016 there was an Atlantic article detailing all the different ways wifi could be used to spy on you.

> By analyzing the exact ways that a Wi-Fi signal is altered when a human moves through it, researchers can “see” what someone writes with their finger in the air, identify a particular person by the way that they walk, and even read a person’s lips with startling accuracy—in some cases even if a router isn’t in the same room as the person performing the actions.

I'm not surprised training models on this data made the process much easier.

Haven't seen it in quite a while so I think it must have been dealt with somehow.
Yes, housing is a pretty big factor.

The textbook life you're supposed to lead in South Korea (and while South Korea is a very dynamic country that is always changing fast, for the moment, the expectation to adhere to norms and aspire to what your folks did is still a bit higher than you're perhaps used to) is to get married, move into a marriage home you bought - more on this in a moment - a couple of months to weeks before the ceremony to start co-habitation, and get busy having children.

"Buying a home" in South Korea means either outright buying, or very commonly, living rent-free for the duration of a one- or multi-year contract after putting down a deposit that is usually 75% or more of the property value. This system is considered good and desirable, called Jeonse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeonse

For numerous reasons, the Jeonse system is slowly getting dismantled. Monthly rent schemes are slowly becoming more and more prevalent. This is causing a big squeeze/run on the now-fewer good Jeonse apartments available, and giving many South Koreans the feeling that it's harder than ever to find a home to have, which is so intrinsically linked to this life milestone that for some, it puts getting married out of question.

In addition to the above issue, which is meant as perceptual, it's also actually become economically more difficult to afford good housing. Some of this is very real and beyond the control of individuals, others is peer pressure to allocate money to e.g. luxury goods. Overall it's become tough on couples to afford housing and kids without both parents working very hard, which in turns makes child-rearing difficult to pull off; Korean employers and co-workers are still very hostile to workers with children (don't bring private issues to work, etc.).

(I'm not Korean, but I've lived there for some years, can communicate in the language and read the news, and am married to a South Korean citizen with a child on the way; the latter is one of the reasons we moved away.)
This is the crux of the issue. A CIO once asked me what I thought was the most important factor for a software project to be successful. I told him good requirements. The CIO proceeded to lecture me with Agile you don’t really need requirements. I thought he was full of shit. It is the same thing as answering a question in the SAT exam. If you don’t know the question (requirement), how can you answer the question? This is truly nonsensical Orwellian logic. It is communism.
