> but doesn't anybody else get just bored by the lack of progress?

Be the change that you want to happen. Where possible implement it in software with your friends and publish it on the internet. Thus: I am not bored by the lack of progress, instead I am rather overworked by implementing parts of this in my free time after work.

No reasonable person would fault you for covering the camera. Assuming you still have the car, you have endless ammo for doing so. Including the fact that tesla employees were caught sharing video that was supposedly private.

I’ve spent time looking at a map of my city, and it’s pretty easy to see the transition. The older streetcar suburbs have streets on a grid, and alleys down the middle of every block. The post WW2 areas are all widely separated and full of cul-de-sacs, and the alleys are gone.

Walking anywhere in the older areas is easy, though a lot of the amenities like mom and pop stores are now gone. Walking anywhere in the newer areas is pretty much impossible. The streets don’t connect and there is nowhere to walk to.
I don't use Uber simply because I prefer to avoid doing business with companies that gleefully and intentionally break the law.

Why should that matter? If you want to run two tasks concurrently, you run them concurrently the same way, whether they are blocking or not.
Ubiquiti has many other problems besides this. The worst is their vendor lockin, where even basic network operations are not possible if you happen to have any non-ubiquiti hardware in your network. You should stay away.
I wonder if MikroTik would be compromised- they’re Latvian and don’t necessarily have to bow to the NSA.
Why is it "-Fhardened" and not "-fhardened"?
True. Although, I find that in practice Kotlin's coloring is quite pleasant to use due to the calling conventions and the tooling.
More interestingly, Cavium (now Marvell) also designed and manufactured the HSMs which are used by the top cloud providers (such as AWS, GCP, possibly Azure too), to hold the most critical private keys:

It is funny on some websites (airline ones, for example) where you can include titles, not only relatively common ones like "Doctor" or "Reverend" but also things like "Excellency" or "Lord". I imagine more people pick these latter ones as a joke than people who are actually entitled to these honorifics.

Pardon me for the stupid question, but wouldn’t you get much better bang for the buck with high end consumer GPUs from Nvidia? I think you’d be limited to 16gb memory per card, but you could have a full 8 card system for less than the price of one H100. Is there really no way to partition the workload to run with 16gb memory per card?

We are talking about a joke made in a comedy programme. Making a joke in a comedy programme, even in conversation with someone later revealed to have been a sex offender, is not a crime. In fact, making outrageous jokes and being Russell Brand is what the BBC and Channel 4 paid him for at the time.

As for any actual sexual misconduct, that is a matter for the courts to decide; but in my mind there is no question that the BBC and Channel 4 enabled, encouraged and rewarded Brand's behaviour.
“Censoring the internet is like nailing jello to the wall,” because, “The internet interprets censorship as damage and censorship routes around it l,” eh?

I remember those sayings. I even remember saying them. So sure we were. But that’s not quite how things worked out is it? Sure, it’s difficult for a country to enforce its laws over every internet user everywhere, but it doesn’t have to. It just has to enforce it for the people inside its borders. It’s been 23 years since Bill Clinton made the jello remark as part of a speech arguing for permanent normal trade relations with China, I think the jury is back on this one. A country not only can, but does.

I’d argue you don’t even need a Great Firewall like China or Russia. Canada even got Facebook to follow its laws about subsidizing Canadian newsrooms by just putting ink to paper, albeit just not the way they hoped.
This kind of reminds me of the database Q&A, which used SRI's NLP tech to allow you to query databases with "plain English".
Corretto seems to have 21 as of just now.
The real reason is because Cathrine Zeta Jones and James Bond actually did implement a program in Malaysia that collects all those rounding errors on a seperate bank account. And since it wenr global, affecting everypne, everyone thinks it ia simply normal.

Or it is because rounding errors happen and accounting is a bitch. The first option makes for a better movie plot so.
If anything, you probably need several layers of different, non-aligned country vendors to have some Swiss cheese model security. So some Huawei stuff, somewhere, as long as it isn't only Huawei stuff.

I never do that, except when I do. What kind of soapbox are you trying to stand on. It looks more like a cardboard box collapsing under the weight of your own hubris.

I get the suspicion of news outlets of any kind. It doesn't matter what stream the journalists are fished out of, but they cannot all be subject matter experts in all subjects. This is also an expectation full of hubris on your part.

Is there anyone here who actually thought cloud provider HSMs were secure against the provider itself or whatever nation state(s) have jurisdiction over it?

It would never occur to me to even suspect that. I assume that anything I do in the cloud is absolutely transparent to the cloud provider unless it's running homomorphic encryption, which is still too slow and limited to do much that is useful.

I would trust them to be secure against the average "hacker" though, so they do serve some purpose. If your threat model includes nation states then you should not be trusting cloud providers at all.

Technically that’s true but the holdings of these public mega firms tend to be in the hands of many small holders such as you or I, who it’s well understood are unlikely to cause a fuss for the reasons you mentioned.

It’s happened at least three times. They got Yahoo’s CEO to [bypass SOX compliance and] hand over access to 500 million email accounts. Last I heard, she said they convinced her she wasn’t allowed to ask corporate lawyers for guidance.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/04/yahoo-sec...

Both she and Yahoo’s shareholders suffered greatly for complying.

There’s also Crypto AG, which was a foreign-owned CIA front that spied on US allies:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/11/crypto-ag-ci...

The Washington Post article is now bullshit-walled, but goes into more details.

One of my favorite parts of the story is that the intelligence agency handlers needed to make sure they only hired incompetent / mediocre engineers and mathematicians at the actual company (algorithm and backdoor design was done at a US government agency that employed competent people).

One day, a brilliant woman applied for a job. She aced the interview, and there were concerns she might be too smart, but upper management hired her on the grounds that the interview results were probably spurious. She was just a woman, after all.

She ended up exposing and fixing their backdoors pretty quickly, which caused a huge containment problem for them.
Not to diminish his contributions but the high level idea was relatively simple. Break a file into pieces and then reconstitute them using hashes. The devil really is in being able to actually implement that which he also did. Ashwin Navin was pivotal in getting it out there for people to use as well.
>More likely an IC plant in the editorial office that said "NSA Backdoors Don't Share."

Wouldn't be more likely that a plant would actually not say that, but rather come up with something else? Seems much more likely that a plant would promote some other aspect of a leak that would be less damaging as the story. Or even possibly making part of the document dump disappear.
Java has been used for soft real-time systems, such as payment processors or real-time bidding. For a GC-ed language, its latency guarantees can be pretty OK due to having good garbage collectors and runtime optimizations.

But, yes, obviously it can't be used for systems where latency is a matter of life and death, like operating the breaks on a car.
You can't legally use their drivers, particularly CUDA, for consumer gear in a datacenter.

Buildkite Announces Acquisition of Packagecloud
Interesting read on the BMW 7 series Protection vehicle. Here's a tidbit from the field: I've heard, through the grapevine, about a team responsible for the safety of a certain high-profile individual (no names mentioned, of course ). About a year ago, they made a strategic shift away from BMWs as protection vehicles. Why? Because in emergency escape scenarios, it's crucial to be able to move the car even with the doors not fully closed / deliberately open. But with the BMW, if the doors aren't fully closed, the car won't budge. It's a fascinating look at how design features in luxury vehicles can intersect with real-world security needs in unexpected ways.

Disclaimer: I don't have primary knowledge of this, and it's second-hand information from someone I trust personally. As with all such information, grain of salt recommended.

Not OP, but I agree with them. Here's my take:

If you design your software right, you can use async/await similarly to IO in Haskell—functions that are not async are fast and unlikely to fail, while functions that are async are potentially slow and likely to throw exceptions. This partition can help you reason about and structure your code as you're writing it for solid error handling and minimal duplicate I/O.
> I've always found it odd that people have such guttural reactions to cryptocurrency. It's a technology. Calm down.

Because the resource waste and scalping had real, measurable impact to a lot of completely unrelated people's life.
Can you provide an example of this issue? This has not been my experience.
People complain that Tesla doesn't do enough to prevent humans from defeating driver assist systems and then also complain about the privacy issues. Can't have it both way. Internal cameras are used to confirm you're attentive and eyes are on the road.

Tesla employees being overprivileged with regards to consumer data access is a corporate policy, legal, and governance issue, not a tech issue. Like any other company, if consumer data is accessed in a way exceeding legitimate business purposes, someone should be fired.

EDIT:

> The cabin camera can determine driver inattentiveness and provide you with audible alerts, to remind you to keep your eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged.

> By default, images and video from the camera do not leave the vehicle itself and are not transmitted to anyone, including Tesla, unless you enable data sharing. If you enable data sharing and a safety critical event occurs (such as a collision), Model Y shares short cabin camera video clips with Tesla to help us develop future safety enhancements and continuously improve the intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera. Data may also be shared if diagnostics are required on cabin camera functionality. Cabin camera does not perform facial recognition or any other method of identity verification. To protect your privacy, cabin camera data is not associated with your vehicle identification number.

(own Teslas, you are prompted to agree to different data sharing configurations before it is enabled)
Yes, while green and red threads were an implementation detail not exposed to Java programmers, now both thread models are exposed (Threads and Virtual Threads).

Additionally since virtual threads are exposed across the whole runtime and standard library, not only they are built on top of native threads (red), the developers have control over their scheduling.
I can’t speak for the OP, but this makes it much easier to write code that uses threads that wait on IO, and just let the underlying system (VM + JDBC connectors, for example) handle the dirty work.

A few years ago, I wrote a load generation application using Kotlin’s coroutines - in this case, each coroutine would be a “device”. And I could add interesting modeling on each device; I easily ran 250k simulated devices within a single process, and it took me a couple of days. But coroutines are not totally simple; any method that might call IO needs to be made “coroutine aware”. So the abstraction kinda leaks all over the place.

Now, you can do the same thing in Java. Just simply model each device as its own Runnable and poof, you can spin up a million of them. And there isn’t much existing code that has to be rewritten. Pretty slick.

So this isn’t really a “high performance computing” feature, but a “blue collar coder” thing.

“Microsoft's next console after the Xbox Series X and S would represent not just a new device but a new "ecosystem generation,"…”

> Google had a mutually profitable business relationship with Brand. They were more than happy to publish his content before these allegations were made.

Sure. I would be more than happy to hang out with Russell Brand too until I found out he might have raped three women. Then I'd think twice. Credible accusations of rape and sexual assault have a way of changing things.

Russell Brand will find a platform. He's been kicked off media platforms before -- he seems to invite controversy as part of his schtick. The people who want to pay to listen to Russell Brand can continue to do so, plenty of channels available not as sensitive to public opinion as Google.

Russell Brand is a smart guy. I assume he's heard of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, or Andrew Tate. He probably knows what happens in these situations. Getting knocked off of YouTube is the least of it. I'm willing to give Russell Brand the benefit of innocent until proven guilty, but YouTube has no obligation to risk their reputation or alienate a large number of their users, especially when everything we know about Russell Brand, from his own mouth, gives the impression that he probably did some things he was hoping wouldn't get made public. Celebrities always walk that line, their fame and income based on perception and reputation.
This is a weird, lazy, bad-faith mischaracterisation of what I said.

Horizon is a framework. We rejoined it. End of argument.
From experience, those differences surface during stock taking. Amd most companies are really bad at that. And if they surfacey they are corrected by inventors adjustments (in unit of measure, not value, which is a differwnt can of worms). As long as those adjustments aren't to extreme, nobody really cares.

A good accountant so will sooner or later investigate those rounding errors, as they will show up somewhere ultimately. And a general policy of rounding in one direction is the last thing you want an auditor to find.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Zapier workflow for this.
You keep saying "NSA", but you mean "the intelligence agencies of every industrialized country in the world".
That's only a problem as long as you have followers, and care about that.

Platforms like Twitter/X depend on network effects: more users = more value to users.

But the reverse is also true: the more users leave, the less value to remaining users. And thus, a lower threshold for them to also leave.

Once a critical point is passed, a platform can die real quick.

Yeah, hard to blame Bard for getting that wrong when there's tons of webpages that seem semi-legit that have September 15th. Searching confessions of the fallen "September 15" 2023 yields hundreds of thousands of results which at least for a cached version has that date.

https://allmusicmagazine.com/staind-release-new-single-in-th...

Comparatively, ChatGPT says "I'm sorry, but I do not have access to real-time information, and my knowledge only goes up until September 2021. To find out the release date of a new Staind album, I recommend checking the official Staind website, social media profiles, or reputable music news sources for the most up-to-date information."

So which is more useful, one that doesn't even know there is a new album coming out, or one that knows what was its release date as of just a couple of months ago?
Oracle's stance on what contexts their JDK/JRE is free to use in is ... nuanced, and has changed in the past. While I don't wish to spread FUD, the thought of using it in a commercial environment in any fashion would give me pause. Playing around with Oracle on licensing is, as hobbies go, somewhere on my list of things to do down around making plutonium cocktails and alligator juggling.

The other vendors have different (typically more explicitly open) licensing on their shipped artifacts. As ever, if it really matters, it's time to consult a legal professional in your jurisdiction to be sure instead of taking a random internet nerd's opinion on it. ;)

Exactly! I don't want to subscribe to anything, I want to pay once and have the license forever (for that specific version + bugfixes).

That was the point of the lawsuit. But also seems like the law, museum, and lots of people here missed the point too.

The guy was paid less than $6K for his work. He was not handed a "giant pile of cash" either, but he will now have to pay back the cash that the museum (for whatever reason) lent him, along with the legal costs amounting to ~$11K.
