The SEC has recently been pursuing very expansive insider trading definitions, and they are occasionally losing, so it’s very hard to say.

But traditionally in the US insider trading is not about market fairness, it’s about not stealing from shareholders. So if you have no obligation to the company or it’s shareholders you aren’t an insider. The phrase is “breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence”.
Right, because famously, politicians are totally selfless and never do anything self-serving.
That's if you even got a pin in the first place!

I discovered this recently when I wanted to use the gloriously named AusweisApp2 (ID app 2, superseding a PC app which was at least forward thinking enough to be called ID app 1).

In theory it's simple to request a new pin - you can even do it within the app! However I've moved since I acquired the card, and so instead of the reset mails going to my registered address, I can only assume they went to the address stored on the card. And in a catch-22 of course you can only update that with a pin...

But no worries, you can simply book an appointment at your nearest buergeramt to have a pin reset in person; except there are no free slots in the next 3 months.. anywhere!

I needed documents for a new visa, which should give me a new card (and hopefully a new pin!), which ultimately turned out to be faster to do than trying to sort out the damn pin
Where’s the data to back up the claim. The site doesn’t appear to link to the data.
Yup, good call point, which is why we deliberately implemented two different independent group VoIP implementations - the one in Element Call (based on matrix-js-sdk) and the one in Hydrogen (based on hydrogen-web-sdk).

Admittedly the new livekit-based implementation takes us back down to a single implementation for now, but in its defense it’s only a few weeks old (with e2ee). Hopefully others will spin up independent implementations rapidly - although right now it does introduce a potential commercial EEE situation… but from on LiveKit rather than Element.

Eitherway, it’s something we’re painfully aware of… while also trying to ensure we find enough $ to pay for dev on Matrix (and Element) otherwise the whole thing collapses.
Sure but when I ask you to pass the potato chips I want you to understand what that means and be physically able to do so. The five senses we know well are very well suited for that.
In production yes, but it’s like kids, you don’t want them to fall and hurt themselves, however that’s how they learn

Likewise, maybe self-driving cars need to get a few bumps and scratches to learn not to crash
I made this little utility last Sunday for Replicate.com hackathon in SF.

In a prod app, I usually want to pipe models together to form the final result. This lets you do that.

If people find this interesting:

- I will add an API later

- Other types of steps (JS-code, API calls etc)
Yes, if the SEC chooses to refer to the US Attorney then the gov't will need to prove to a jury that insider trading occurred.

But, to start, the SEC will just come knocking and asking questions. If you have a good explanation then they'll go away. But if you don't then they'll keep digging, get warrants, etc.

If it's some random hedge fund that makes these bets all the time then the SEC will probably go away. If it's a broke old lady who opened her brokerage account a week ago then it's pretty clear what's going on, and they'll have the tools they need to turn the screws and get to the bottom of it. And if it's someone whose wife works in Cisco M&A then it'll be pretty open and shut because these kinds of mergers keep track of who had access to what info, for exactly this reason.
Yes, except the problem here is that if the app crashes, you'll lose all the messages in the bundle. That's why people tend to use side-effect logging that persists messages immediately. That, and because it keeps timestamps correct.

I suppose this approach would make most sense in event-driven apps where no particular processing takes any meaningful amount of time, so you're constantly revisiting the top-level loop, where the "logging layer" could live. However, most software isn't written this way.

Things are legal until there is a law or ruling that makes them illegal

Even highly regulated fields like medicine or aerospace have frequent instances of irresponsibility for profit. Only fines that wipe out the profits of operating irresponsibly will get through them.

Conversely, we don't want to lose FOSS because single developers can't cope with the legal risks. Maybe there's opportunity for incentivizing cheap security certification of FOSS, or a CISA-approved subset of FOSS that is guaranteed to follow strict security practices.
The headline is about the data processed on their compute, the amount of data in the monitoring system is considerably smaller (but still not small data):

> But Brij Kishor Jashal, a scientist in the CMS collaboration, told The Register that his team were currently aggregating 30 terabytes over a 30-day period to monitor their computing infrastructure performance.

So 1 TB / day, that's about 10 MB/s.
This is most stupid comment I’ve ever read from here.

What I'm curious about is who is the leaker.

The Five Eyes and India have been communicating about this for a couple months now, but Trudeau publicly announced this after The Globe and Mail said they would publish a story about Foreign Interference. To preempt that Trudeau announced this in Parliament 30 minutes before that article was released [0]

Generally, stuff at this level is highly sensitive and classified because it becomes a headache for everyone [1]. It doesn't make sense for the Canadian PMO to leak this despite G20 crap because it has no actual benefit during a non-election year nor does it make sense for the Indian PMO to leak this as this impacts Indian foreign relations.

Was this a disgruntled CSIS analyst (like the China Election Interference leak), the Tories (they leaked the existence of a military base in Afghanistan used for anti-Taliban black ops), disgruntled NDP MPs (force an early election and win the Vancouver suburbs where they compete against the Liberals), or disgruntled Liberal MPs (force an early election and get a cabinet position or a more senior role)?

It varies. Stephen Hawking lived with it for many years. For most people, 2-5 years of steady decline is normal between diagnosis and death. In some people it progresses more rapidly, in others much more slowly. I don't think we really know why.
Well, according to what people write in this thread, a distributed grep or some other way to organize a decent central logging system might be a necessary part of the core competency. Because if they buy splunk instead, they might go bankrupt.
I think Canada's is also way too high for the services provided but my reaction above was just shock at how bad it was rather than a real discussion of tax policy. We really have to compare rates at the margin because that is what is actually pricing incremental services and in Canada that marginal tax rate at that income level is 38% quickly heading up to 48-52ish% depending on which province.

Depends on what you think is fair but I always think about tax from what would I be willing to pay for the service (and pay to provide to others) given what the service is if there was no coercion or free loading and that number is way, way less than what I am currently paying in taxes. This is due to a mix of services being provided that generate no network effect value or negative network effect value to me, poor cost management on the services provided that benefit me and/or benefit me through improving someone else in Canada and in some cases outlawing outside provision to me (i.e. healthcare) and forcing use of the government service that is inferior.
I liked the Monzo tone of voice doc a lot but this is cleaner.
According to the github page for crun, it's because it's more performant and uses less memory and because the authors feel it is a better fit for a lower level container runtime. C code runs on more systems than Go does as well. I'm assuming that will stop being true at some point, but as of now C runs basically everywhere.

Perhaps, the poster is referring to assassinations by the West being overlooked and/or justified while those committed by other countries are vilified and even an excuse for the West starting another war, killing millions of people in the name of vengeance.

By the way, many “intrajudicial” killings are not justified either.
Bloody hell - until I looked at the digram, I did no realise - this is pure profiling. What has benefit data got to do with a child at risk. As per Housing - this is profile of people because they live on the 'wrong' estate.

"Accessing Out of Work benefits" is saying the child may be at risk.
"Teenage Parent" is used as an indicator.
I'm sure it technically counts. If this was allowed imagine how easy it would be to get out of an insider trading accusation.

> Oh, but I didn't pay employees for insider information. I merely overheard it at the bus stop!

Granted, if this really is how someone learns of an acquisition it would be unlikely to get proven in court, and unlikely you'd even get accused as someone with no ties to the company.

That all being said, the clear message from our government is that insider trading is okay. Our politicians do it every week. So don't feel bad about it if you do get a lucky tip.

> The screenshots from Blade Runner 2 and Dune do look cool though.

Good news about Dune! It's actually a good movie. It's both close to the book and makes the right calls in changing what needs to be changed for the big screen. It looks amazing, too. Give it a chance.

Bad news about Blade Runner 2: it's not good. It looks good, but the movie is pointless and jarringly bad acted at times (Jared Leto, enough said). And I say this as someone who absolutely loves Blade Runner, so I'm not one of the naysayers who found it "boring". It's not boring -- it's bad and pointless. Someone here called it "fanfiction", and that's what it is: fanfiction by a very competent director who doesn't truly understand the source material.
Not sure who the "we" is that you refer to, but Google (and Samsung, and other Android manufacturers, as well as companies building other Linux-based embedded/IoT devices) could band together and create a "Corporate Embedded Linux Consortium", and pool some money together to pay developers to maintain old kernel versions.

If the mainline kernel devs are uncomfortable allowing those to be official kernel.org releases, that's fine: the CELC can host the new versions themselves and call the versions something like "5.10.95-celc" or whatever.

I don't get why this is so difficult for people to grasp: if you want long-term maintenance of something, then pay people to maintain it long-term. It's a frighteningly simple concept.

But yes, it'd be better for SoC vendors to track upstream more closely, and actually release updates for newer kernel versions, instead of the usual practice of locking each chip to whatever already-old kernel they choose from the start. Or, the golden ideal: SoC vendors should upstream their changes. But fat chance of that happening any time soon.

> (there's actually been quite a bit of progress here in getting them to actually take updates from the stable kernel at all! And that's getting thrown away now...)

I found this statement kinda funny. If the original situation was that they wouldn't take updates from the stable kernels, then what were all those unpaid developers even maintaining them for? It's bad enough that it's (for most people) unrewarding work that they weren't getting paid for... but then few people were actually making use of it? Ouch. No wonder they're giving up, regardless of any progress made with the SoC vendors.
I would say that's a pretty good thing to be 'throwing' money at, to paraphrase the author of the article
Svelte, Node, Vercel, Supabase/Postgres, Stripe, WandB, Amplitude, Sentry, ConvertKit, Mailgun, Slack, Discord, Google, ZenDesk, Miro, Figma, Clerky, Mercury, Xero, and Pilot soon. We have a bit of AWS stuff.

Vercel's instant previews are particularly great, and Svelte's ergonomics I like more than React. Svelte's SSR stuff seems cool but I am not 100% convinced yet we're leaning static enough.

I also think we're doing laps on anyone who isn't using ChatGPT/CoPilot... those poor lost souls.

Regarding (1), I used Vim for 19 years, and I had strong muscle memory. However, I found it took only about a week to get comfortable with Kakoune. Its multiple-selection-oriented editing just mapped really well onto how I was already using Vim, which is to say, making extensive use of visual mode and highlightsearch. I have met Vim purists who tell me this is missing the point of Vim. If so, all the more reason to make the switch. But if verb-motion works better for you than selection-verb, by all means continue using Vim; it's a great editor.
Awesome! I've been using matrix on and off for around 3 years and I absolutely love it.
You failed at thinking that orbstack is nothing but a UI-layer to docker.

It's certainly not that. In fact you don't even need to have the app running in order to use docker!

Ive lost the link now but somewhere @Danny explains the different layers (like networking, file sharing, domains etc) that he had to write from scratch that are not part of Docker (the engine)

For example. One of the longest bugs in Docker for Mac has been file-sharing/bind mounts... Orbstack performance over Docker for Mac in this respect is incredible. Also Docker for Mac (still) doesnt have ipv6 whereas Orbstack enables this out of the box seamlessly.

Thinking of Orbstack as "just another UI for docker" is completely wrong.

Techy friend group of mine migrated from Discord to a self-hosted private Matrix server a few months back. No complaints so far, although we didn't use Discord's voice/video/screen-sharing features (which I hear that Matrix intends to support eventually).

UX-wise, it made me appreciate the distinction between Discord's "everyone is subscribed to every channel in a server by default" stance, and IRC/Matrix's opposite approach. The latter certainly scales better, but the former is so, so much better for discoverability, so it's probably the better default for small servers.

And if you're looking for a Matrix client with a Discord-like UI, try Cinny.
Counterpoint: We are not traumatized, we are polarized.

You can layer paragraph upon paragraph about how things are bad, but they've often been far worse, and far more tumultuous. Segments of post-civil war, post-WW1, post-WW2 populations were in fact traumatized, from real loss. As have families from the pandemic. Throughout US history, politics has been fractious and at times violent, even in congress itself.

But no, we -- the average person -- are not traumatized. We do not need therapy. Author starts by winking at the self-medicalizing seen on social, trying to separate her serious argument from the frivolous ones on "TraumaTok." But then just dives right in and does the same thing, but with lots of words.
One wishes the goverment's messaging had been more informed by science and less by wishful thinking and the "needs of the economy". I still hear Atul Gawande pontificating in Summer 2020 on NPR about the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" against better knowledge, because it is known that immunity against coronaviruses is fleeting, an injected vaccine is not sterilizing and coronaviruses mutate rapidly.

If you habitually lie to people in the pursuit of your own interest you've pissed away their goodwill, and you won't ever have it again. It's a case of sleeping around and playing surprised that your wife won't have you back.

> none of this process is needed to answer the actual question which the LLM would know from its training data.

I think this isn't true; even if the model has the answer stored implicitly in its weights, it has no way of "citing it's source" or demonstrating that the answer is correct.
Sadly I feel much of public policy is "identify a symptom, treat that symptom, done".

> but I’m struggling to imagine what the source of uniqueness could be for a single cell tower.

GSM is/was a complex beast. Each base station can only handle 8 simultaneous phone calls (the old 2G/3G multiplexed ones, not modern VoIP), so in crowded areas they’re usually configured with a very short range. Some large conferences have had base stations with their range measured in single digit meters (<30 ft).

Furthermore, like WiFi, bandwidth is limited, so base stations are deployed in a “beehive like pattern”, like a triangle with a base station radiating out from each leg, and broadcasting at different frequencies to it’s neighbors.

That alone leaves a lot of room for configuration errors on each individual base stations, but when i say “a single cell tower”, i meant on that drive. The bug might be with a specific firmware version of that base station manufacturer, or that particular hardware revision, or simply a configuration error, or maybe it was a bug in our software and/or radio firmware. There are a lot of “moving parts” that needs to be investigated, but from a developer perspective, the error only occurred on one base station.

It could of course also turn out to be a “broken” base station, and often enough we would fail to find the error, and had to contact the network operator to get them to help trace down the error.
Trusted traveler programs have pretty wide latitude for removing members (for example, for something as small as not declaring a banana in your bag or bringing a spouse without global entry into that lane) and aren’t setup for use as identity verification. Plus it’d be a very small percentage of Americans - remember only around 55% have a passport. The amount with global entry will be a small percentage of that.
I used SumoLogic at my last job, which feels basically the same as Splunk. (Maybe not as fast? No idea on price.) There were times when it was easier to sync 45 GB of logs from S3 down to my laptop and run grep over them than it was to figure out the right arcane syntax and wait for the results. :-)
So the crux of the problem seems to be that Google synced the employee's MFA codes to the cloud, resulting in all of them being exposed once his account was compromised.

This is ironic seeing as how historically impossible Google made it to back up your codes to your own hardware. It's why I refuse to use any Authenticator app that doesn't provide that feature. I'm sorry Google, but you don't own my secrets: I do.

I don't want them to be locked away under some hardware-fused seed unless I generated it.

Saw a similar dark pattern with the deprication of the adb backup API's in Android, where apps are silently skipped (0 byte output) with no warning to the user. Google has effectively made it impossible to back up your phone to any cloud but theirs, to the point where customers of solutions like SeedVault have asked devs to impersonate device-to-device transfers as a workaround to beat the allowBackup manifest flag.

We have a real problem with the concept of ownership in this age, stemming from an arrogant and incorrect "we know best" attitude at tech conglomerates.
