It can to a point, but it can’t to the extent that humans can with sufficiently complex problems.

Deep learning models like this can theoretically approximate pretty much any problem that can be expressed as a function.

It’s entirely possible that there just doesn’t exist a function from visual data (maybe even including LIDAR and RADAR etc) to correct driver decisions.

Humans can also intuit the behavior of other humans to an extent, even while driving (knowing that someone who is driving erratically is probably fucked up and will be dangerous to stay near). Kind of like a really shitty gossip protocol.
I generally agree, although I do understand the motivation for requiring device attestation here: Since the card neither has a PIN pad, nor a display, there is a lot of trust on the mobile device to be honest when it comes to signature operations.

Another solution would be an external, Bluetooth-connected terminal with both a PIN pad (or biometric authentication) and a display, but that would mostly defeat the purpose of using smartcards: The entire point of schemes like this is that users don't need to buy and carry yet another device beyond the smartphone and an ID card that they already own.
You say that, but when I rented a place in France, the landlord turned up in the middle of my 1 year tenancy, about a week before Christmas, and told me I have 2 weeks notice because he had sold the flat to a new owner. He hadn't mentioned anything about it until he turned up at the door with this news.

I was just about to travel for Christmas (outside France), so I had to urgently find somewhere else to live in a few days, then move all my stuff, just before I went away. That was difficult.

I was lucky some lovely Mormon friends stopped by, and when I asked if they could help me move my stuff, they obtained the church van, ignored that they weren't insured to carry me or my things, and did a brilliant job of helping me move quickly.

> In any case, all of the free stuff Europe (and any place, for that matter) gives their citizens will come to an end real soon once the population bomb explodes on the world.

Presenting it as "all the free stuff" is a bit ideological I believe, it's not free stuff, nothing is free, it's indirect/socialized wage, and if you participate in the economy you are paying for it albeit indirectly.

A population bomb would affect the whole economy, it doesn't matter whether what's lost is social perks or a wage loss i.e. weath redistribution. And it may be just as well that the safety net will remain the same while the wages take a hit instead. It really depends on politics, what is the easiest thing to remove/the more palatable to populations (who do vote).
It won't. Those homes will just go in fewer hands so the rich will be richer the poor will be poorer.

We've already had a low birthrates for a while and property prices (where the jobs are) have gone nowhere but up, outpacing Inflation, wage growth and sometimes even the stock market.

Nobody cares the desolate countryside homes are sitting empty because there are no jobs there.

Here is Biden’s actual response:

“The border wall. The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate to redirect that money. They didnt. They wouldn’t. And in the meantime theres nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I cant stop that.”

“Do you believe the border wall works?”

“No.”

The biden administration then proceeded to waive 26 federal laws for the department of homeland security to continue to build the border wall. Let’s break this down for a second.

What would have happened had the administration not waived the federal laws preventing continued expansion of the wall? Unless i am mistaken, unspent budget allocated to the wall would have returned to the department of treasury to balance the budget / return to taxpayers.

So either:

-Biden does not believe that the border wall works, but would still *spend that allocated money on something he does not believe works*, rather than allow that money to flow back to the dept. of treasury…

OR

-Biden does believe that the border wall works, and is lying through his teeth.

At this point, i am not even sure which of these two realities i believe. They are both pretty depressing.
I personally don't care what FAANG does. They all sound like horrible companies to work for, and I don't care for the products they produce either.

I was working remotely before the pandemic and will continue to work remotely in the future. It's great that we have more opportunities now than before, but they always existed. So what the "mainstream" or "big tech" world does in current year is their own business. I won't judge anyone who works for them, we all have our reasons for making the choices we do, but I don't think it makes tons of sense to ascribe too much weight to what the largest tech companies do. They might represent a significant portion of the market but it's a big world and there's tons of smaller companies out there doing much "better" things in much "better" ways.

My philosophy is that I'm going to live the life I want to and not worry about what companies I don't like do. I don't work for them and, with the exception of Amazon, I don't use what that they produce either.

Productivity measures, as GDP per hour worked, are highly skewed by things that we don’t think of as “productivity”.

Go and look and the “most productive countries”. Who is #1? Ireland.

Why? Because GDP is very high. Why? Because multinationals use Ireland as a tax haven.

They move IP to that country, then “charge” Google offices in other countries for that IP. That’s then added to Irish GDP.

Now what happens to that money. Does it get paid to Irish people? No, beyond the handful of people in the Google Ireland office, it goes back to Google USA when the profits are repatriated.

It’s the same thing for other “highest productivity countries” - Luxembourg (finance), Norway (oil), Switzerland (finance).

They all have very high profit activities that are outsized to the hours workers put in.

> Or am I wrong? How large is your initial alloc?

Zero. Most of the time. When I don't know the exact requirement before hand.

> Reason is that I would expect the allocator to, normally, allocate blocks tight together and most reallocations to grow the size by more than the granularity of the memory allocator

Now look at it like this. Even if I wrote my own allocator with malloc(), free() and realloc(), I would have written it such a way that the first time I found a pointer getting realloc()-ed I would have added an extra 60% at its end assuming this pointer has a trend to grow. And for subsequent small increment calls use space at the end.

I don't see why C library's allocator writers wouldn't have thought the same. Even if on some platform it's not done for some reason, that can be replaced with your own implementation.

Add with it the fact that OS is also optimizing your memory usage, your allocs are virtual pages mapped to actual physical ram. And who knows how deep these caches go at processor level. You are basically caching over caching and so on.

This is similar to "reading a file in memory" because "accessing from disk is so slow". That's so much 90s thought. Your file will be cached in memory by the OS whenever you access it the first time and you have sufficient free RAM available for cache.

But one doesn't need to assume the above to be true. Simply measure and check for yourself. If your findings don't match your understandings, there are alternate explanations.
A place that volatile shows up in C today that is stunningly handy is when writing eBPF programs.

In eBPF you have to appease a verifier which is trying to prove safety and liveness properties of the compiled program. To prove safety properties you often need to ensure that some offset into a buffer (bpf map) will be in bounds. Even if you judiciously sprinkle such bound checks into your code, the compiler may eliminate them entirely or perform them on some different register or stack value it knows to be semantically sufficient. Unfortunately the verifier is not as smart as the compiler.

Using volatile to reload some offset just before bounds checking it and using it to index the map is a very reliable approach to getting code to verify.
Quite true...though "thermal runaway fire hazard" would be the correct descriptive. (Outside of old car batteries building up hydrogen gas, "explode" is a miserably over-hyped word for dangerous non-electrical battery failures.)

OTOH - if (say) you're keeping an old phone for "emergency use only", then it's unsafe when the battery or electronics get too flaky to be relied upon for that.

The parent comment is does not talk about the political desirability of public identity, but rather makes (largely baseless as far as I can tell, unlike the article) claims about the technical security of one particular scheme.

> The perfect world where every instrument is applied fairly and in no other way, does not exist.

True – yet the absence of a government-provided system often means that inferior means of identity verification will have to be used by people and businesses. (Have you ever opened a bank account or credit card in the US?)

That's why we get absurd private initiatives like Worldcoin that seem every bit as dystopian as some of the more poorly implemented government-based ID schemes.

This is definitely not true. Developers are better off in the private sector and I've never heard of any developer regard working for the government as coveted or prestigious.
> Breaking the monopoly of a tech giant could, and likely would, decimate their value.

And to that end… so? Why is the government so afraid to slap down excessively profiteering, monopolizing conglomerates? Because primarily rich people would lose a small amount of their vast wealth? Because some poorer investors who foolishly hoped to capitalize by investing heavily in a single company might lose a lot of money, having knowingly taken such a risk? It certainly isn’t because of the significant taxes they pay, or that a 190k jobs, which wouldn’t necessarily be lost, would be such a significant addition to the 6.4 million people already unemployed.

As for how? Google has quite a number of differing product lines and “businesses”, so, rather easily I’d say? Search, apps, hosting, ads… it really wouldn’t be that difficult to define those lines.

I'm in a union and got a 1.5% raise, benefits have decreased and we're forced into hybrid working. I'm in a country where I can't just be fired without notice so that union doesnt do much for me there either.

> if you're looking to hire frontend engineers, the candidate pool for React is a few orders or magnitude bigger

Two comments on this - I know it will not change your mind, but maybe other people will read this:

1. Of course, the candidate pool for React is bigger, I think Hotwired - in its current form was released in 2021 (November or December). So this expectation is kinda “Planning to fail” right? If you put this as a criteria of course you are going to choose React. Are you sure you are not already decided to use React and then found reasons for the decision. It is totally fine if you did as we are all doing this constantly (first deciding and then finding reasons or explanations for the decision)

2. I think if you have a React developer (so a person who should know JS and HTML) who cannot write Hotwire code, that is a big problem. Anyone with a good foundation of JS and HTML should be able to write Hotwire code (Stimulus + Turbo)

Recommendation: Don't put in your job ad "Required skill: Hotwired". Just hire people who understand how the web works (browser + HTML ...) and they will be able to write Hotwire-compliant code.

> it's getting harder and harder to find vanilla JS packages that you can wrap in Stimulus controllers for common tasks, compared to finding React packages

I am not sure what packages are you trying to find. But I would suggest if you are trying to find an 1-on-1 corresponding React package to Stimulus package the way the UI and UX is designed is not for Hotwire. You should not choose Hotwire to replace React but keep the same page behaviour. You should think your UX web experience different - more back to basics with interactivity sprinkled around

> Stimulus doesn't really offer a way to write unit tests for your controllers

Again if you have an application like say Figma UI then probably you need unit tests. But if you think the UX to be Rails 7 + Hotwire, you will not write so much JS code that you need unit tests for it.

Testing an end-to-end feature should be enough.

Of course, this is just me talking about a product (yours) that I don't know what it is an I am making so many assumptions.

Oh I get that. But what many do not realize when they give the work away like in the GPL you also give away control. They have given away control but now are asking for it back. That is up to the distros if they want to do that. They are perfectly allowed to do so. But they are perfectly allowed to not do so. This is one of the 'downsides' to open source. People may use your source in a way you do not like. I have this same conversation every few years with people on the net. It is usually about the time they realize people are not giving stuff back up stream (their intent) but realty is GPL does not require that.

It basically is for a better term a fork. A small fork but a fork non the less. There are changes they are distributed downstream, but the rub is not back upstream. In this particular case people are going thru the trouble of making a theme pack that is kind of unfinished. But not finishing the work and not upstreaming it either for whatever reason. Hence the letter. But strongly worded letters do not always get things done. Maybe it will but I doubt it. The distros forked because the upstream was not doing what they needed. So the distro managers did it. But now they are asking 'just ignore that part of the GPL that says you can modify the code'. This is basically a missing feature of the upstream so downstream is adding it in.

I see both sides I really do. But if you give away code do not always expect it to be used in the way you expect.
> Petroglyphs by the Hohokam in White Tank Mountain Regional Park, Arizona, and by the Ancestral Puebloans in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico, have been interpreted as the first known North American representations of the supernova, though other researchers remain skeptical.

Glad that this skepticism is noted, the evidence presented seems extremely dubious - I can't imagine the constellation Scorpio was recognized by indigenous in America of that time.
That's only convincing if you ignore the mass rioting that happens every other election cycle when the popular liberal (relative to Iran, eg he still hates America, but thinks maybe women should be given more freedom) candidate who promises reform gets removed from the ballot.

Having seen the rioting and resulting crackdowns in person, it's absurd to say that the people are particularly happy with the state of things.

Very likely for the remote workers that aren't essential for the company, for FAANGs.

Small/middle-sized companies will fight for those talents in the market and offer the remote work flexibility they want.

But I doubt those big employers that pay top salary will continue to have remote workers at all.

The top Big Tech companies are clear monopolies in a way or another and need to continuously find new markets to not be dependant only on their monopolies, because they know it's just time until regulators just jump in and tear apart their dirty money making machines.

In order to do that, they'd rather have people working in a office in the hopes of them being more commited to support them on that goal.
> I'm just pointing out that unions don't mean you get everything you want.

Sure, a crap union is a crap union. But union representation in general is more likely to result in the rights of remote workers being protected than, what, asking nicely?

There is a certain activation energy required for discussions to take place, which is quite high in a remote setting.

This isn't a problem by itself, however remote companies need to have a lot more processes around information transfer and team building, which is something companies don't need to actively think about for the most part if they build on-site teams.

These were presented areas for further research, as there are precedents for these vulns, and the economics of card distribution haven't changed much. This is a technical discussion about vulns in protocols, and given I've worked on them in the past, these were how I broke previous proposed protocols that were reimplementations of a variation on the EMV protocols. What's changed in the protocols is they have been simplified to use ECC keys (they couldn't support PKI previously because RSA keys were too long to fit in the SE key slots), but the main issue of effectively tokenizing authentication transactions (using those AES-GCM keys) has the same limitations as the original protocol - albeit with an ECC keypair to do app/device attestation.

Is this scheme vulnerable to that? Unknown. Are these attacks paths for additional vuln research that is exceptionally valuable and has significant policy consequences? Absolutely.
It's a standardized queue with a lot of features too...

You can set up filters and forwarding rules. It doesn't require a programmer or special knowledge to do so.

Sure, all these things can be done better with special software, but there is a massive benefit to something that all your existing untrained and probably-not-well-paid employees can set up themselves.
I really enjoyed this post.

As a kid I used the MultiConfig (based on a guide in PC Magazine!) to have different menus. When all you were trying to run was games, maxing your conventional memory was key. I had different combos for sound, no sound, CD-ROM, boot to windows, moving stuff between EMS/XMS so older games could fit.

I would meticulously try different combos and seeing that `mem` command return something above 600KB was a reward in and of itself.
