I believe the concern is that non-ionizing radiation can still warm tissues, and depending on the frequency, these can be deeper than what normal sunlight or IR radiation would reach.

Whether a few milliwats of that type of warming are actually cause for concern I don't know, but even if it's bogus, that doesn't mean that regulators will not be enforcing legal maximums anyway.

Yes, but the modifications that are possible are limited by what the API of the package manager provides. Like Windows Installer does. If that doesn't work you create custom install uninstall logic, which has the potential to be less robust/reliable than what the package manager provides.

In logistics, I would suggest LLMs as an assistant to workers. The worker would still make the judgements, but an LLM could fill out forms, suggest alternatives, remind of unfinished tasks, or help look up information such as the right contact person at customer or vendor Xs. These features mostly reduce tedium, but keep judgement in the hands of the person

Future LLMs should gradually become more powerful, and any work on such an assistant today will be good preparation for more powerful assistants

Vertical specialties like logistics are in fact the BEST place to use LLMs, quoting from the article:

"The most interesting (and likely valuable) companies are the ones that take boring industries and find non-obvious use cases for AI. In those cases, the key is having a team that can effectively distribute a product to users, with or without AI"

Ah yes, sturdiness is another magical quality of lightning that is under-appreciated. I've never had a lightning cable end break, or a lightning port wear out, the device is long obsoleted by that point.

Another problem I had with USB-C, is that just because it fits physically, doesn't actually mean it will work since what's inside the cable can be dramatically different. In my personal life:

- the Nintendo Switch uses a proprietary USB-C interface for the power brick, they somehow feed ethernet internet through it

- thunderbolt docks need thunderbolt USB-C cables. And there's thunderbolt 2,3,4.

- my magsafe phone charger uses a USB-C end, but needs to be plugged into a special power brick to get full power

This is actually... somewhat worse because now I have multiple USB-C cables that all have a different purpose that I can't tell apart from a glance (because the connectors are all the same!)
There is zero chance that I, a US resident, will ever use debit cards for anything. The reason is that in the event of a fraudulent charge (which still happens surprisingly often, given that chips were supposed to put an end to that):

- With a debit card, I am out $X of my own money, until the bank can be bothered to agree that the charge is fraudulent and refund my money, which can take weeks or months, if at all. Good luck paying rent or buying food or whatnot in the meantime if you don't have a nice savings cushion.

- With a credit card, I am out $0 of my own money, and now the bank is potentially out $X of THEIR own money, making them significantly more motivated to investigate promptly and agree that the charge is fraudulent. For however long this takes, I still have my own money to pay rent and buy food, and I'm not on the hook for paying the fraudulent charge.

The fact that credit cards tend to have "rewards" in the form of cash back or airline miles or whatever is secondary to me, personally, although I do take advantage of this as much as possible.

> i can look at just about anyone -- myself included -- and tie them to a vicious deed in 3 hops

You're not distinguishing between remote and proximate cooperation with evil, or material and formal cooperation. No one is claiming that buying a pair of sneakers from a company that uses part of its funds for an evil end makes you guilty of the crime. If that was the standard, then forget 3 hops. Everyone would be saddled with an unbelievable amount of guilt, and trying to avoid it would make life unlivable. But more to the point, you aren't actually guilty according to the principle of double effect. We do not have in life the luxury of avoiding all evil, so we can only do what is best, and that often means allowing evil side effects, within bounds.

I do have problems with the author's views, of course, and I think Ed Feser's article "Justice or Revenge?" can explain at least one of them [0]. But I am not opposed to retributive justice. It is part and parcel of justice. Mercy presupposes the legitimacy of retribution as well as just deserts; it would be a meaningless idea otherwise.

Have this game. Love it! It's a great pick up and play couch game.
Nah, he's 100% a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" guy. He goes around making a bunch of assertions for which he has no evidence, but conveniently confirm his worldview and require him to change his habits not at all. I googled "how much do millennials spend on avocado toast" and got a bazillion results with sources about how it's not an issue. I also just googled "australia tradies productivity" and after some reading, it seems a lot more likely that the slowdown in productivity is from firm consolidation leading to a lack of competition.

If he really cared about this stuff, he'd be advocating for stricter antitrust (monopoly regulation is I think what it's called in Australia) rules, but weirdly you find almost no multimillionaire business owners doing so. Instead they spend their column inches arguing that we need to whip the rowers harder so the boat goes faster.

Or hey, CEO pay spiked too, meaning they've also been paid a lot more to do at least the same amount of work they were doing. Is he also advocating for higher levels of unemployment for the CEO class? Definitely not!

> No lie, I’ve seen a slice of avocado toast on a menu for $12. It made me irate.

For a point we have in common, I have problems in most Italian restaurants because of exactly this. I'm like, "I know this cost $4 and 15min to make, why does it cost $25". Yeah yeah I know I'm subsidizing the steak or whatever, but:

Fine-grained caching strategies of dynamic queries
Come on folks, neither the author of the post nor any commenter I've seen here as of writing is arguing that we want any more tulip-scam crap or another FTX, which is probably the highest-profile and clearest-cut instance of financial fraud since LTCM or something: everyone is on the same page that we don't want any more pump-and-dump nonsense from crypto hucksters.

But punishing good behavior is a terribly idea at all time and in all places: whatever combination of Paypal, and the regulators, and this Paxos outfit that have decided to raise the bar on Internet money compared to forms of Internet money that we've all taken for granted since forever? That's a good thing.

It's very complicated in the details, but roughly, fractional reserve lending done by traditional banks and the money supply created thereby only works because it's in fact enmeshed in an a stupendous net of regulations, and guaranteed by things like the FDIC, and a bunch of stuff. Fractionally-backed, loosely-regulated Internet money is a very bad idea whether it's stored in MySQL or a blockchain.

> I could imagine companies issuing iPhones with MDM and corporate credentials preconfigured

This is already happening with iPhones & iPads, the Dev tools just aren't anywhere close to being able to match macOS. I'm sort of surprised Apple hasn't at least ported Xcode to be able to run on iPadOS.
Yeah, but some of these aren't "cheap" devices (Wahoo fitness devices have this flaw). Wahoo actually calls out Apple chargers in their doc, which is super annoying because it's NOT an Apple problem, it's shit design/penny-pinching from Wahoo.

And there are USB-C chargers (provided with Google phones and Belkin USB-C car chargers) that will charge the devices. So, I guess they're ignoring the lack of negotiation and just providing 5v? No idea.

So, consumers are left guessing what will work or won't. And carrying at least two chargers (one "dumb" and one "smart/PD").
Yes and no. Windows has a very fine grained permissions system, including at the admin level. The problem is that it was designed for multi-user systems in the 90s, so the permission and security systems are mostly concerned about keeping users safe from each other, and having administrator roles for managing those users and doing system-wide tasks. Preventing a process from injecting code into another process by the same user running in the same session just isn't in the original threat model, since it's just the user screwing with their own stuff.

The shift towards protections from malware happened mostly as a consequence of Windows XP. There are now better controls, like assigning low-trust processes like a browser's renderer a low integrity level to prevent them from doing that. But it's also late enough that it's hard to rock the boat too much without breaking existing applications. Microsoft tried to make a clean break and offer more sandboxed applications with a user-friendly package manager (called the Microsoft Store) but this wasn't well received by app developers: most didn't use it at all, and those that did often opted out of the sandboxing.

That is just wrong though - pretty much in every country out there that has a good direct payments scheme exposed to customers, it is gaining market share at the expense of credit cards. Pix in Brazil and UPI in India are only two such examples, in both countries these are well on the way / are the dominant payment mechanism for ordinary consumers transacting with businesses.

Unless these gangs have found a way to make money on Spotify, which isn't available to the average artist then I can't imagine it being particularly effective.

The scheme makes no sense to me, but in society like the Swedish where banks are heavily regulated and monitored and where cash is used less and less it might be one of the last ways of laundering money. Still, they are taking SEK, buying crypto, using the crypto to buy fake stream of "music" they put to Spotify to get a meagerly pay out for played streams. The "loses" on each laundered kronor must be immense.
yeah, a used 3090 would be the most likely candidate if my next build was something for personal use only. Thing is, I'm probably going to expense it. Which limits me to new components.

And I'm not in too much of a rush (weeks / short months). Can afford to wait for a month / two to see how the ROCm support pans out on the AMD side. 60% performance for <50% price is a compelling argument. If the ML support is decent...

Though the 4090 is somewhat expensive, I might end up taking it anyway just for the simple reason that it's the only 24GB card with CUDA.

Frankly the vast majority of people with credit card debt I know still deserve relief. Even people who are under significant credit card debt due to frivolous spending— they likely need therapy or time to budget or similar but now they cannot due to the crushing weight and stress of credit card debt. Or they could’ve been able to pay it off but an emergency happened and they got laid off or they were already barely scraping by and now their car broke down or something.

I think we worry too much about what if undeserving people receive help. Most people are good people who just got caught out on something and could use some help getting themselves out of some goddamn 25% interest craziness.

It's not currently tracking anything, at least according to some unity devs on their support forums. So in the absence of some network request to capture, scripting the reinstall loop is the current option to be have a "day 1" script ready in advance.

> the same ip address

Unity confirmed that this is part of how they intend to do it. That's why the meme scripts so far make a point to cycle up addresses or use rotating proxies per install.

The other part of the methodology that unity confirmed is "proprietary internal models that can't be shared but are GDPR compliant". Somehow.
Too bad this isn't a high-level comment that can be upvoted and float to the top.
That argument is actually the same error that GP criticizes: Wavelength (i.e. quantized energy) matters a lot.

Being irradiated by hundreds of watts of direct sunlight is fine for a short while (and causes skin cancer in the long term!), hundreds of watts of microwave radiation for the same duration is already pretty bad, and the only good thing about hundreds of watts of hard gamma radiation is that you don't have to worry about the long-term effects too much.

With mobile devices, we're talking about dozens or at most hundreds of milliwatts of microwave radiation though; there might be some effect, but I personally doubt it would be significant enough to worry about – earlier cell phones used way higher power levels, and I'm not aware of any link to cancer there. And they've been around for a while!

Last time I read up on it, the heating effect of holding any metal or plastic slab to the side of your head dominates any additional heat transfer from the EM radiation, even for fairly deep tissues.
Does that mean you're restarting your nodes after every change? It'll work, but mightn't it be a bit tricky if lots of people start creating tenants?

Thanks for that, it is interesting.

Is this actually something I want to see in a configuration script? Why not just use a scripting langauge and be done with it? I wonder if the safety features can't be replicated with rigorous testing of say python as config scripts instead of learning yet another programming language?

https://prelude.dhall-lang.org/Text/concatSep.dhall

I think this is the key fulcrum for me: "config is code", sure, but not the same kind of "code".

It -is- compelling to argue for statistically deterministic config code but my practical objection here is 'can we arrive at same safety using testing with a known language?'

Writing this has made consider whether configuration should be conceptually looked at as a database instead of "code". How many people even know how e.g. postgres stores its tables and why would modulo some performance niche would you care anyway?

It seems configuration management is a graph db query and update matter. Standardize on configuration query language (if necessary) and stop worrying how the damn thing is represented by the config management tool.
> Doubly so when Microsoft themselves don't use it

Often, as you mentioned, Windows Installer packages are wrapped by an executable (in WiX this is called a "bundle" because you may also choose to add redistributables like the C++ runtime).

However, what you see in installations like SQL Server, Office and Visual Studio is that the installers are bundles as well - of a large amount of MSIs that need to be installed and uninstalled in a specific order. A single Microsoft Installer package is transactional and can be rolled back on failure, but bundles are not as well defined and left open to the implementation of the bundle. Windows Installer does not reach beyond the single msi package.
