Indeed. Ask my ex-wife (an economist) how that worked out for her.
Although single-speed motors were most common, some drives had variable speed motors. In combination with an appropriate disc controller, the rotation could be sped up or slowed down so that bit locations arrived at the read/write head at a uniform rate. Thus you could pack bits as closely on the outer tracks as on the innermost.

The horse has bolted on the question "is that camera/mic on". If you see the camera, assume it's on. There's no going back.

Often the camera/mic is dumb, oblivious to the status of downstream recording. Passive mics aren't even powered.

I understand the concern about signalling recording status, but it's too late for people to adjust their expectations of recording status from the presence of a red light.

Threads like this are not good for my mental health. I’m a public sector software engineer for the US government in the DMV. I have eights years in and I’m barely making 6 six figures. I’m considering getting out but it won’t be easy. It’s a weird feeling that at 31 I feel like I already screwed up career and income wise. Is there any chance I could make 200k plus before 40 ?

I have a coworker that believes we are paid well considering our benefits and pto compared to the average software developer. His argument is that outside of FAANG, salaries for the average developer aren’t that much higher than ours. And if they are, the working conditions are worst. He also believes FAANG employees are working more than 80 hours work, or they are super better than “public sector employees” so that’s why they command higher pay. I don’t buy the last one.

You could, but if you got busted doing that, your reputation would take a hit. Everyone would know it was you because you own the camera with that private key. (To wriggle out of it, you would need to claim that either your camera was stolen before the photo was taken, or that Canon/Reuters's private key was compromised. The former claim would be harder if there was, e.g., a second digital signature stored in the JPEG showing that you confirmed your identity with a fingerprint 10 minutes earlier.)

Also: Could you, actually? Maybe photos of monitors have "tells" that can be detected with some kind of image processing.

Meaning weaker and ineffective. The last great battle they fought in Afghan was absolute humiliation. With peak of 400K troops station in Afghan for near 2 decades with near 10T spent with 1 single objective to remove Taleban. They return home fleeing in great Kabul flee incident gifting countless high tech weapons there to Talebans (to resold to Russians and Chinese). Trained 10K Afghanis commandos to join as mercs worldwide or seeded next round of 911 2.0 in USA. Tactics and weapon severely destroyed by Russians shovels (some American troops got slaughtered there as well under the guise of mercs). Talk about Syria, even more humiliating. The ops there when needed, actually had to request permissions with Wagners general there (not even Russian MoD). Cheaper? They win a war first, then we see and evaluate. As current standing, they are at best 3rd or 4th army in the world in actual combat.
My experience is kinda the opposite. Big companies get into certain workflows and don't want to change, altho they are happy to take bugfixes. This is also where I'm at with much of the software I rely upon, some of which I pull at my own whim.

No, they're still mining Bitcoin. There's absolutely no way to crack secp256k1 keys with even a datacenter GPU. We're firmly in the realm of quantum computers if you expect to crack anything before the heat death of the universe.
A fair point. However, what are we optimizing for? An open/fair market, or consumer safety? Balance is key, but I'm interested in any counter proposals that do a better job.

> people will still want to signal their commitment/ability to provide when proposing

Will they? Why?

People getting married these days are far more likely to already live together, maybe own a house together. These sorts of signals to each other seem somewhat pointless. Especially as it's common for both partners to work, making it somewhat anachronistic for one partner to have this expectation on them.

This whole idea of stupidly expensive diamonds signalling commitment is just marketing bullshit, that has been so ingrained that people think it's somehow natural or necessary. If that's falling away piece by piece then that's something to celebrate.

Now the other form of signalling - "I am high status, look at my high-status shiny stuff", yeah that's not going anywhere.

> "what if the obesity epidemic has nothing to do with calories in vs calories out, and actually there is some toxin which the body has to sequester in subcutaneous fat and that's why everyone's getting obese"

Everyone loses weight on a caloric deficit. And "doubly labeled water" experiments show that people vastly underestimate how many calories they actually eat each day.

See this often cited paper: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199212313272701

In a test of people who believed themselves to be diet resistant, every single subject lied about how much they ate when asked to self report.

> The failure of some obese subjects to lose weight while eating a diet they report as low in calories is due to an energy intake substantially higher than reported and an overestimation of physical activity, not to an abnormality in thermogenesis.

I see similar loss curves when training ViTs (from scratch), which has always bothered me but I had bigger concerns so never delved too deep into it. The only difference is that I see the training loss go _up_ during each epoch. The cliffs between epochs are large enough that training loss goes down overall and validation loss keeps going down the whole time as well. The model gets close-ish to SoTA so I guess it's "normal".

I haven't trained convnets at this scale so I'm not sure if similar behavior has been seen there, but you'd think someone would have mentioned it at some point. So perhaps these strange loss curves are a feature of Transformer based models in particular?
Or. Hear me out. Why don't these companies actually give me back the ability to control my devices? Why is the onus on me? Why don't these fuckers do the right thing. So tired of this what-aboutism bullshit.

It's not really bullshit, it is a physical manifestation of the commitment that is supposed to accompany a marriage. People are human, the stone is both a reminder of the vows that they took as well as a sacrifice the husband made to demonstrate love and commitment for that particular spouse. Yes of course it doesn't have to be a diamond per se, but that's basically what the entire world has agreed upon for this particular gesture. And because the entire world recognizes it, it does have value "beyond the hype."

Well, I mostly use it at home with my server at home also, so technically it works without the internet in that case.

But your point still stands anytime I'm away from home.
This is a very poor analogy. For one thing, casing someone's home is not interesting research. It's not news to anyone that locks only keep honest people out. You need physical access to break in. The legal system and the people nearby (neighbors and residents, and their firearms in the USA) are the main lines of defense here. Unlocked doors are a harm targeting one household.

Conversely, with vulnerable IoT devices, we're talking about internet-connected devices. The potential harm is to everyone on the Internet, not just one household, when they're taken over and made part of a botnet. An attacker can exploit them from anywhere in the world, including residents of hostile jurisdictions that are tolerant (or actively supportive) of such activity. Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. The protections people have relied on for centuries to defend their residences from bad guys don't apply anymore.

These IoT devices can also be used to gain a foothold in your home network, which are usually flat networks. It's surprisingly difficult to find a "router" for home use at a reasonable price point that can setup VLANs, by the way. Even as a technical person.

The better analogy IMO is to building codes, where your property rights are limited by society's interest to keep your family safe, but more importantly, your neighbors safe too, because fires spread. It's still an imperfect analogy for a number of reasons. Cyberattacks are a relatively novel kind of threat. All analogies are going to be imperfect.

That's assuming they make a final firmware update. Having the 2nd manual key available from day 1 ensures the device is unlockable with just a release of the key. Having a 2nd key or a signed unlock firmware update I guess are two ways to achieve the same goal, but the 2nd key would be better. The 2nd key likely stay in place forever, in each update, while the unlock firmware would likely end up remaining as the original firmware, because why would most vendors build two firmwares for each release. It would sit forgotten on a drive somewhere. The use of original unlock firmware could mean making a device vulnerable between loading the unlock firmware and the community firmware, so the 2nd key is preferred. It's always ready.

Ideally, the key would also be pre-registered somewhere to ensure they can't skip out on releasing it, but I'm not sure how you do that without it potentially leaking before the device reaches end of support. I guess a code sitting in a lawyer's vault somewhere. Again, nobody is paying the lawyer to refresh his vault's firmware image after each patch, so 2nd key wins over unlock firmware again.

Why a lawyer's vault? I know lots of people would love to take ownership of the device immediately, but from the device creator's perspective, they tend not to like that... especially if a device is a source of subscription revenue. So I'm not sure how you'd get vendor buy in to early release unless it becomes mandatory... which I can't see.
I still haven't gotten my head around the valorization of Bill Binney, who does not appear to have been an opponent of dragnet surveillance, as he's so often portrayed, but rather of inefficient and poorly managed dragnet surveillance. ThinThread, the system he designed and left NSA over when they didn't pursue it, still left it up to NSA to determine which data to make available, and still presumed NSA would collect the same raw data.

Maybe someone more familiar with ThinThread can make a case for how that system would be acceptable to us where Trailblazer (its competing design, in the narrative one tends to read here) wasn't.
Oh wow yeah - I've also seen other people's training loss curves like that, going up during each epoch and then jumping down at the end of the epoch. I've never experienced that myself, and have no idea what's causing it!

> GPL has already established that runtime linking counts as a derived work

No, whether runtime/dynamic linking (or even static linking) creates a derivative work under copyright (as is when, to the extent it does, such a use would nonetheless be fair use and still not require a license) is still a contentious topic, and AFAIK there are no cases strongly suggesting a general answer.

A license offering permission cannot itself resolve when the law requires such permission. Arguing that it can is like saying my offering terms of permission to use my home and claiming that they apply to use of the public street out front establishes that I own the street.
