I empathize with the idea that college feels like a waste of time. 18-22 is too early to be making major life decisions like what someone wants to do for the next 40 years of their life.

I wish the concept of apprenticeships would come back - a kid fresh out of high school can work adjacent to whatever career they're interested in for a few years. Then attend college from 21-25, then begin their full time career.
Suing across borders is not a problem at all. It is only an issue if you want to sue someone protected by the state. So, well, yes, in this case it world be allowed as much as if NSO tried the same to a US company.

We don’t do cleanup of the index during VACUUM yet. That said, it’s coming very soon. We’re built on top of Usearch, which supports deletes. We plan to work with the Usearch team to port the post performant deletes to Lantern, and thereby support VACUUM.

With respect to recall vs QPS, we went ahead and generated this plot, hope this is helpful? http://docs.lantern.dev/graphs/recall-tps.png

You're right, 100k rows isn’t a reputable benchmark. We wanted to launch very quickly, and have benchmarking for larger datasets coming soon. Benchmarking is baked into our CI/CD, we take it very seriously!
everything you say is true of all 190+ countries: they all knew what a continuation of russia's genocide of Ukraine would cause, and yet each one did nothing despite being capable of sending at least minimal aid to Ukraine, or publicly voicing opposition to russia's genocide of Ukraine

so, again, each of those countries (russia alone more than any other) is equally guilty, be they China, USA, Iran, Canada, North Korea,
etc: none had any responsibility to intervene more or less than the others, and EU receives no special blame for russia's genocide of Ukraine

or, more to the point, they are all equally innocent, except for the aggressor, russia, who started the genocide of Ukraine in the first place

tl;dr russia is to blame
Syncing of "MFA codes" is really syncing of the secret component of TOTP (time based one time password).

And it's a good thing, and damn any 2fa solution that blocks it. I don't want to go through onerous, incompetent, poorly designed account recovery procedures if a toddler smashes my phone. So I use authy personally, while a friend backs his up locally.

First picture is a laptop, with a battery of course, being charged with solar...

Batteries are a cache, they allow harvest energy to be stored and used as needed, depending on load you can forgo them so long as the load is ok with varying voltage or being cut in and out if run through an inverter of some sort or solar controller both which will have capacitors that act as little batteries or caches to try and provide consistent power until they can't and they shut down.
As a certified dad, I have to agree.

> We got rid of this phase with Windows XP release

I assume you were talking about consumer versions like Win 95, 98 and Me (the release we don’t talk about)?

The NT based ones like NT 4 and Windows 2000 seemed decent when they came out. I guess MS realized that as well and started using NT for the consumer releases as well with XP.
It occurred to me that cycling primarily involves heart, lungs, and legs. You train all of them simultaneously, so they'll naturally have balanced performance. If you selectively impair one of the three, it will become a bottleneck. However, it seems to me that the lungs have the easiest job (e.g. cycling is easier than tasks like inflating balloons), so it should be possible to recover almost all the lost performance by training with the respirator on, bringing the lungs back into balance with the heart and legs.
To the best of my knowledge, OpenBSD's pf wouldn't exhibit such pathological behavior.
The system is still rife with abuse and cruelty. All the same problems are still there. Mental health workers (not just the doctor) can do whatever they want to the patients, with impunity.

It's a driver of wrongful incarceration and abuse. As like with other issues not everyone is terrible, but there's also abusive people that would never hit anyone, or lie to hurt them. Their abuse is softer, but much more prevalent. For every cop that murders someone there's thousands that throw someone into a wall, prevent them from going to the bathroom, or put the cuffs on tight.

There's also the prevalence of crackpot treatments, albeit with some research behind them. People with ADHD are routinely given medicine that simply doesn't work, sometimes after decades of successful treatment. They will also give you medication that's dangerous not to take, even though you will struggle to get and take your medicine due to the condition.

That's just the tip of the iceberg and what I know about. I'm sure there's much more.

Well, push based 2fa with "select this number on your 2fa device" helps prevent some vectors. Simple totp doesn't do that.

"Never give your totp or one time code over the phone" is good advice.

"Never give info to someone who called you, call them back on the official number" is another.

This is user error at this point.
man you should see what people are getting up to with evilginx2 these days. They are registering homoglyph URLs just for your and running MITMs that passthru the real site 1:1, and forwarding to the real thing once they skim your login token so you never even notice. The really crappy phishes and jankfest fake sites are pretty much obsolete.

Then they hang out in your inbox for months, learn your real business processes, and send a real invoice to your real customer using your real forms except an account number is wrong.

Then the forensics guy will have to determine every site that can be accessed from your email and if any PII can be seen. What used to be a simple 'hehe i sent spam' is now a 6 month consulting engagement and telling the state's attorney general how many customers were breached.

It is a simple problem and in literature it was named "label bias".

Let's say you maximize performance of a single piece of pipeline (training on a dataset or something else), and you do it the same way for all pieces. The labels that were correct as inputs in training are your limitation. Why? Because when a mistake happens, you've never learned to recover from it, because you always gave the correct labels in your training.

What LLM pipelines do is probably something like this:

* a complex task is solved by a pipeline of prompts

* we tweak a single prompt

* we observe the output at the end of the whole pipeline and determine if the tweak was right

In this way, the joint loss of the pipeline is observed and that is ok.

But, the moment your pipeline is:
POS Tagger -> Dependency Tree Parser -> Named Entity Recognition -> ... -> Machine Translation

and you have separate training sets that maximize performance of each particular piece, you are introducing label bias and are relying on some luck to recover from errors early in the pipeline because during training, the later parts never got errors as input and recovered to the correct output.
For me the question is "who the fsck uses Google Authenticator to store all their tokens, both company and personal?"
this is a very vague statement. lua is used in a lot of environments and is very performant. you can use it inside nginx (openresty) to process requests at a pretty large scale. you can use it inside of redis.

lua and javascript are somewhat interchangeable aside from the fact that js has a much larger ecosystem.

sure there are situations where lua might be a bad choice but based on your remarks you make it sound like it sucks anywhere except inside a game engine.

Your comment is not considering that these governments are more likely to target politicians and journalists which are more likely to use iPhone regardless of where they are located. I don’t know if the implication that iPhone is less secure holds but it’s likely.
I think this is the right way to think about it. Still a lot of value in making the various numbers bigger...if you don't do that, competitors will, and then you'll lose market share way faster than you did before.

But if Apple is looking for a step change in revenue or tech dominance, they'll have to rely more on other innovative/step-change product lines like the VR headset...I'm sure they're doing that, just not sure if investors are all seeing it that way

I hate carbon neutrality as marketing. It all means is that they got some carbon credits to offset their carbon emissions. Oil companies could change literally nothing in their production pipelines and claim there are carbon-neutral by acquiring those credits somewhere and/or planting some trees (and lobbying to increase how many carbon credits are given for that)
Give it some time. Good news is that "faster than expected" seems to be a very common saying among people studying these areas, so you might not have to wait as long as the geological time might suggest!

Honestly, as someone who has been very concerned about climate for a while now, I'm surprised how much visible disruption of the climate system we've directly been able to observe. Earlier in my life I thought that, though dire, this was certainly a problem that would impact future generations but not so much ours. It turns out I might have been quite wrong on that front.

Ports (TiBook had Ethernet, modem, full sized DVI, FireWire, USB, optical audio, s-video, and PCMCIA), upgradable memory and storage, replaceable battery, and an illuminated Apple logo ;-)

I can’t remember if it was the 2012 or 2016 MBP, but it was about 10 years between the TiBook and the next Apple portable with as accurate color representation. It was even longer before another Mac laptop had a screen as thin with bezels as small.

Picking mine up for the first time in several years, I’m shocked at how huge and heavy it was. In its day it was 30-50% thinner and lighter than a high end Dell.

I think Fennel and Janet went separate ways fairly early on, and the creator of Fennel focussed primarily on Janet whilst the current maintainer of Fennel is responsible for much (most?) of what you see in Fennel today...So some very different design choices between the two languages, i believe.
Note that the areas of the three largest deviations are, in order: Biosphere Integrity, Novel Entities (synthetic chemical & processes), and Biogeochemical Flows.

The entire ecosystem on which we depend for sustenance is an extremely complex web of interlocking dependencies, from plankton to pollinators, to soil microbiota, to temperature & hydration, and so on, endlessly.

This is the food web. If it collapses, we as a species are beyond fooked. Because it is so complex (and even something relatively simple such as CO2-driven greenhouse effect climate change is too complex for the lower half of the population to understand), it is barely even discussed.

But make no mistake, the food web is under massive assault from all kinds of human activities (and even the artificial agriculture web is coming up against the hard limit of a phosphorus crisis). This is likely to be a sooner and more catastrophic failure than the climate crisis. The Fine Article nicely clarifies some of the threat.

Biosphere collapse could happen suddenly and without warning. That would throw the global south into political turmoil while prompting a global and destabilizing refugee crisis.

> The caller claimed to be one of the members of the IT team, and deepfaked our employee’s actual voice. The voice was familiar with the floor plan of the office, coworkers, and internal processes of the company. Throughout the conversation, the employee grew more and more suspicious, but unfortunately did provide the attacker one additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) code.

> The additional OTP token shared over the call was critical, because it allowed the attacker to add their own personal device to the employee’s Okta account, which allowed them to produce their own Okta MFA from that point forward.

They needed to have a couple of minutes to set things up from their end, and then ask for the second OTP code. A phone call works well for that.

Ah I see, thanks! Managed to miss it while ⌘-F'ing through the article for 'Citizen Lab'.
I wrote "usually people in my profession have rarely if ever any need for Excel". But I will explain.

Many software developers usually have no need for something like Excel. Either they use some free/libre alternative, because they know about it existing, or they use an actual programming language, or some might even use something like Emacs org-mode spreadsheets, or they use some library like Pandas for things, where it is reasonable to get out the tools. Software developers are also more likely to be aware of the technical debt incurred by storing anything inside Excel formats and will avoid it, if they are wise.

As such many software developers rarely use Excel, if at all. I personally don't use it at all. All my simple spreadsheet needs are covered by Libreoffice Calc or Emacs org-mode. If I had to use Excel now, I would not know the names of functions (translated perhaps, because Excel does that silly stuff) or how to reference cells (Is it $ and then the number? And : as a separator between col and row?). So yeah, to properly use it, many of us would have to learn at least a little of it.

Many if not most cases of Excel usage are actually due to people not knowing the alternatives, or perhaps knowing they exist, but not having the knowledge to use them (like with programming and quickly dishing out a few Pandas calls or Emacs org mode spreadsheets).
It's always interesting how these dissidents "don't know" the impacts of climate change.

They claim that CO2 isn't that important yet they have no explanation for how any other known phenomenon could explain temperature increases.

Then they claim the temperature increases aren't as big as predicted.

Then they claim that the natural impacts are not historically unprecendented.

Yet physical modeling of the planetary system gives us a pretty damn good idea of how much more energy stays in the system due to a given increase in CO2.

We have a variety of physical and stochastic models which give various ranges of increases in global mean temperature, and very very few of those models in the ensembles show the impact being "small".

All of this also conveniently ignores the catastrophic effects of ocean acidification due to increases in atmospheric CO2, which is a problem so great it by itself is more than enough justification to alter the climate.

These "dissidents" are being canceled for the best reasons: because their thinking is flawed, they grasp at conclusions, they question established research without being experts in the specific areas, and they always fail to provide the extraordinary evidence necessary to revoke the utility of our current models. Most importantly, they have no alternative system that explain the observed phenomena of the climate system as a working alternative with models with predictive power.

Predictive power is one of the most important factors of the utility of a theory, and thus far from everything we've learned since the 70s, the empirical data confirms that we are, effectively, living in a climate emergency.

And here's why they are "denialists" instead of being people with real claims to alternative theories: because their entire reason for being is to nitpick minor and irrelevant points to a titanic theory that is based on millions of lines of physical evidence, millions of different measurement instruments, entire lines of novel research dedicated to model and instrument calibration and debiasing, advances in chaos theory and modeling of Navier-Stokes equations, etc.

They offer no alternative theory that can claim better precision and explanations. They resort to bullshit claims like solar sunspots and axis tilt, which have been debunked over and over so many times it's not even funny. And they never stay affixed to researching any of these potential lines with the seriousness of anyone who honestly believes they have better explanations, instead jumping from BS to point to BS point, completely ignoring that real climate scientists actually have a bunch of actual differing opinions brought from serious, actual expertise in the field, which has nothing to do with the pretend dissent from these quacks.
>6/7 people colluding in this way is highly abnormal-- even in the CIA, most people have some amount of integrity.

Yes, they probbably thought they were acting with integrity. It wasn't labeled as a bribe, it was a bonus for helping squash "a dangerous conspiracy theory with geopolitical implications", that the recipients happened to at least be open to.

In many of these situations, the people involved think that they are doing the right thing, even CIA officers staging coups or planning asssasintations. Convince someone they're doing the right thing and you can get them to participate in a lot of shady things.

The CIA have been masters of shaping their perception as "well any evil they do is necessary evil", particularly with members of congress
