A number of replies here are noting (correctly) how this doesn't have much to do with AI (despite some sentences in this article kind of implicating it; the title doesn't really, fwiw) and is more of an issue with cloud providers, confusing ways in which security tokens apply to data being shared publicly, and dealing with big data downloads (which isn't terribly new)...

...but one notable way in which it does implicate an AI-specific risk is how prevalent it is to use serialized Python objects to store these large opaque AI models, given how the Python serialization format was never exactly intended for untrusted data distribution and so is kind of effectively code... but stored in a way where both what that code says as well as that it is there at all is extremely obfuscated to people who download it.

> This is particularly interesting considering the repository’s original purpose: providing AI models for use in training code. The repository instructs users to download a model data file from the SAS link and feed it into a script. The file’s format is ckpt, a format produced by the TensorFlow library. It’s formatted using Python’s pickle formatter, which is prone to arbitrary code execution by design. Meaning, an attacker could have injected malicious code into all the AI models in this storage account, and every user who trusts Microsoft’s GitHub repository would’ve been infected by it.

“What is written without effort is read without pleasure.”
Well, sorta. In America we don't build communities as well, so a single parent is alone to raise their kids and also work.

A single parent with a strong local community of caregivers who can help perform the work of raising a kid in their community is probably not worse off than the standard, alienated two parent household in America.

So while what you say might be true in America, I don't think it's axiomatic.

This title in particular encourages sharing the article out of context, because it is a bit sensational.

That's why the title is so important.

If an article is aimed at a particular audience only and could be misunderstood otherwise, that's a good indication that the title should reflect that fact. (As the revised one does.)

As a sidenote: This submission has been tried multiple times on HN and it would very likely not have been successful here without the sensational title. [0]

The nuclear family also is a fairly recent norm in there west from the mid 20th century. Before then it was much more common to live with extended family. Having grandparents and uncles and aunts all living in the same building or next door makes childrearing so much easier. There is a reason we used to live like this. It's at odds though with the ideal worker in our economy who relocates to where job opportunities are best.
go bid :D
Bit of devil's advocate here, but would it make more sense to invest heavily in the Randstad so that more people can live there and enjoy the benefits of being in a heavily networked area?

I just moved to the Netherlands (in the Randstad) and it's arguably better for the country that I moved to a place that already is dense and efficient to provide services to. Though it would be nice if it were above sea level.
A multi generational household occurs naturally when grandma and grandpa had a stable two parent households and now mom and dad do too.

Moreover, it's not necessary to force everyone in the same house. My parents and inlaws are within 20 minutes. It's great and since they are both married and happy, there's little family stress and the kids get ample time with both grandparents. God forbid, if anything were to happen to either my wife or I, they would be well taken care of.

Eventually our parents may move in or closer by, but right now, it's nice for everyone to have some separation.
I’m often shocked at what my kids are able to choose (as elementary students, much worse for middle school) when buying cafeteria lunch. Admittedly I went to a small parochial school, but when we bought “hot lunch” we were given a pre-determined, food pyramid compliant assortment and are only choice was chocolate or plain milk. And you were done when your tray was empty, or recess was over. There was very little waste from cafeteria meals.

Now my middle schooler will choose two cookies and a juice and the lunch attendant doesn’t bay an eye. Any retroactive punishment is long after he’s enjoyed his food treats or diabetes in early adulthood.
Sadly this isn't just the case for scientific Python. E.g. some widely-used web library (I forget which) recently switched to using a Rust implementation of TLS, and suddenly you needed a working Rust tool chain available to install it. This caused a lot of grief.

I love Python, and I've been experimenting with Rust and enjoying it so far, but this situation could have been better handled, I think.

I agree 100% about scientific Python though. It's a whole new level of horrible when it comes to dependency management.
I can't read the whole article but remember learning in the past that children of widows have outcomes more similar to two-parent households than divorced parent households. This would seem to suggest the divorce is more of a signal of family/status than something which is driving bad outcomes.

At the same time, I do think people have gone a bit too far in their want to not give anyone shame. Yes - some shame is not going to help single-parent households now but I would think some societal shame would prevent people from being reckless with having kids or maybe make people think twice about leaving their partner when it really is just a rough patch.

There is ample evidence that boys and girls with fathers do better.
It’s not a universal good. It’s often good (I grew up this way, as did most of my friends and we’re mostly fine), but the nuclear family is also sometimes a breeding ground for the worst abuses. Insisting on it, giving it special privilege gives privilege to those abuses.

Kids absolutely benefit from stable, nurturing surroundings. But that could take so many other forms: multi-generational families, co-parenting, “it takes a village to raise a child”, queer families, polyamorous families; teens might find they benefit more from chosen families. Cultures around the world and across time have used many other systems to help parent. Focusing on the nuclear family is a distraction from the real aim and it might even cause more problems than it solves.

Why are Americans always so quick to cast shade? This is the comments section, I'm not about to write an essay about all the details here.
If you’re asking for strict double blind randomized trials then no of course not that research would be totally unethical. On the other hand we have a growing mountain of evidence that boys without fathers have comparably worse outcomes and so far as I know there’s no serious dispute.

Also, frankly, the suggestion that fathers are optional or even unnecessary is quite sexist. Just because we’re generally inured to anti-male sexism doesn’t keep it from being objectively wrong.
A marriage does not equate to submission, but patriarchal issues in current marriages are still very much present.
In other words, invest more in men. Years of neglection on their education and up bringing, downright ignoring the needs of young/adult males. And you wonder why the family situation is fucked up. This is a symptom of the end of western civilization. Populations are on the decline. If you don't have strong men, they will come from outside. Just don't expect them to hold on to your fucked up "values".

Let's be honest, how many people on HN (or elsewhere) have a VP level job? Even if it is true that jobs are the very senior level are filled this way, that's a very small % of the total (in my company, much smaller than 1%).

So that still wouldn't make the claim that "most jobs are not posted/filled by referrals" true.

The replacement for the A10 is the AC-130.

F35 is the multirole fighter. You build it because you don't know if you are doing a stealth mission, a dogfight, CAS or wild weasel.

F35 can do it all, but as a jack of all trades master of none.

-------

Consider the A10 in the current Ukrainian war: CAS is impossible because both sides have too much antiair. You need wild weasel (aka: anti-air defense) fighters right now.

Eventually, one sides air defense will be destroyed to the point where CAS is needed. A multirole fighter can perform both jobs.

While a specialized wild weasel (ex: stealth bombers) would be kinda useless after air defenses are down. While A10 is useless before air defenses are down.

Well fortunately 45 days is within the time span of attributing a click (30 days) and with the best algorithms, you only need about 3 days of behavioral activity of each person to forecast LTV correctly on an aggregate of just dozens of people.

Can’t really comment on how effective or ineffective it is for the consumer though.

Because the politicians who suggest any such policy, when it gets to the point where people demand they explain why they're proposing it, either has to come clean, or dissemble.

The latter is obvious lying and deflection, and that's a PR disaster. The former is an absolute shitstorm. Single-parent celebrities that have five different kids by four different baby-daddies go on talk shows and Twitter, start calling you a Nazi. Whatever passes for newspaper editorials now days start whining for the next 6 months that it's anti-inclusive and undermines diversity. Invitations at colleges to speak at graduation are rescinded, some of your campaign donors stop taking your calls even though the mid-terms are coming up in less than a year. LGBT activists then crawl out of the woodwork saying that what we really need aren't two-parent households, because anyone can be a parent. We just need two-plus income families, and that poly-amory is superior because it can potentially bring four or more incomes into the house. Only cis-bigots really want just two parents there.

And then you back off. Not a battle worth fighting. None of this, even if it worked, could be milked for votes in an effort to get promoted from the House to the Senate (or the White House). And since it would be attacked from day one with the possibility that it might fail, why even try? It's far from a sure thing. All we know is the correlation, not the causation.

With what I described, bar would not compile, because the compiler would add a "+ Leak" bound to T.

The unfortunate part is that means that upgrading foo to the 2024 edition means you either have to break backwards compatibility (at least for 2021 code) or add Leak bounds to type parameters and trait objects. There could be a cargo fix rule to do that update for you.

It is really unfortunate that existing APIs can't be made more general without breaking compatibility though.
I'm inclined to believe you (as putting your name out, and having a random address is fine). But I'm used to seeing profiles for founders on a website. You have a name listed on there that I can find no payments or tech history for (I could just be terrible at searching). Normally there are other nuggets on the internet that would help provide credibility to your history/profile, which helps establish some trust.
I see what your are saying, but in other use cases the presentation state needs to be considered as part of the document. This is one of the reasons zip/jar containers work somewhat well. You can audit different chunks of data separately and cryptographically sign them. sqlite actually has an archive format[1] that is interesting to think about and I have pondered using it for some applications (store the files and also store tables of metadata/analysis)

Maybe thats the real evolutionary path going on, as we humans grow to have a more temporally aware mindset. That ability to see how past actions effected the future hopefully allows for more predictive capabilities.
Well, the main problem with this is, it would require human experimentation to be efficient. You know, those babies raised in this way, those in that way. And by the age of 2 cut open and everything meassured.

Or do you have other ideas how to do proper testing?

Because otherwise experiments with control groups, electrodes, MRT etc. are a thing in psychology. But you can only achieve so much with it.
> How do drones get around the issue of communications jamming?

For one, by making it harder to jam in the first place. Starlink with its extremely directional antennas is a good example - an opponent would need an equally massive fleet of satellites or high-altitude ECM planes to jam it, and the latter ones can easily be targeted by anti-radar rockets.

This is why the US government has been pushing insane amounts of money into SpaceX... Starlink is the future of interconnected wars.

They shouldn't be a investment object anyways, just like food shouldn't be.
Neuroplasticity decreases with age.

Virtual networks are a nightmare to setup and manage in Azure which is why everyone just takes the easy path and not bother.

Almost every Azure service we deal with has virtual networks as an after thought because they want to get to market as quickly as possible, and even to them managing vnets is a nightmare.

Not to excuse developers/users though. There are plenty of unsecured S3 buckets, docker containers, and Github repos that expose too much "because it's easier". I've had a developer checkin their ftp creds into a repo the whole company has access to. He even broke the keys up and concat them in shell to work around the static checks "because it's easier" for their dev/test flow.

I'm equally confused. I came here to say the same. One thing I'm not confident about is my understanding of this article. Is it, in fact, saying that they're slowing down production because they fear low consumer demand? I may have missed it in the article but I don't feel like it ever clearly states it like that.

Def possible I just didn't read it well but I ended my review of it still confused about whether they were worried about lack of or increase in demand

I doubt you will be able to prove, or show, that the nuclear family has even slightly higher rates of abuse per 100,000 than any of the other modern forms of family you have suggested. Until ~2013 with the legalization of gay marriage when it then became an unmentionable issue, even left-wing websites like The Atlantic, and mainstream publications like the BBC, were warning about how domestic abuse in LGBTQ relationships is at least possibly higher than a traditional marriage.

This will be great! ...for California!

Anyone who thought that California's "Do Not Sell My Data" requirements would cause websites to tamp down on the data collection nationwide were sorely disappointed when sites simply implemented an IP Address check to only display the option if they were in California. Other states followed suit, and sites amended their logic to show the banner in California, Virginia, etc.

They are going to cling to data vacuuming for as wide and as long as they can.
Yup, it's not that FOSS is immune to enshittification, it's that it puts power into the user's hands should that time some.

The worst case is that Godot forks, rebrands, goes private with the rebrand, and leaves the public branch unmaintained. But in that case your current game isn't screwed. It is still yours, can't be nickle and died, and you have source code access to fix any bugs (even if you lost a lot of support). Though, it is very likely someone else decides to maintain Godot as a result of this.
