Do you have one kind of drone that DJI produces (mini, mavic, phantom, matrice, ...) that you would not choose over... well over anything else?

I mean without political considerations (like commercial war and the fact that DJI got banned in the US, exactly because nobody can compete). Just based on the product.

I'm with you on every bit of that.

I'm good about turning that potential internal shaming into annoyance with the employer. For me, that means that every ridiculous request for tips gives me a bad feeling about the business, either shame for being pushed into tipping, or frustration that I had to spend emotional effort to avoid it. Either way, it leaves me with a bad feeling about the place, and makes me less likely to go back.

"Most people don't have the time or knowledge to set up a Linux box, much less an OSS baby monitor."

Luckily this granddad does. I also get deployed by daughter in law to deal with any safety critical stuff in their house eg stair gates and mounting TVs on the wall that will survive an acrobat practising a new routine. Ironically enough, her other half is a railway safety engineer.

Technology isn't the be all and end all. Whilst I can and have rigged up a baby monitor from a spare Riolink, a spare PoE switch, a VPN back to my home Zoneminder etc, it isn't actually required. Yes I do have a lot of spare stuff and grandad's cloud is acceptable.
Also, most stylometry work isn't well fitted to active attempts to forge another author, and is more about distinguishing authorship in works with uncertain attribution.
Right now the most basic USB-C Yubico Key-Dongle goes for around $80 (considering taxes and shipping in Europe). As yubico state themselves, you really need 2 dongles just in case.

Most people are not paying $160 for this, period, when 2FA and passkeys are a "good enough" thing.
Everyone bought into "immutable" "no side-effects" "one way data flow" as this ultimate goal. But never thought what the tradeoff is.

And people get FOMO that they need to use a big thing that they couldn't write themselves.

Whereas if you throw out everything and just build only what you need, you get something infinitely more understandable and simpler, probably with some hand-rolled data-binding thing that you actually understand.

Most people don't understand how their frameworks are working under the hood. They are just relying on a nicely documented API...until anything goes wrong.

Trying to debug React for example is insane. And if you build your own custom store it re-renders 6 times when in dev. When I saw this...I knew React's days were numbered.
I'm assuming this means they deflected 50% of the laser light.
>the neolithic revolution, we "transcended" local food supplies

>the "industrial revolution" ... [transcended] muscle power

Except neither revolution really "transcends" the earlier limits, they just apply an ugly hack and then blithely ignore the accompanying consequences.

With agriculture we ignore (effectively "null pricing") the destruction of ecosystems. With industry we ignore the pollution from mining and burning.

It's precisely these side-effects (from earlier, supposedly "transcendent" innovations) that now pushes us beyond safe terrestrial boundaries.
"Magnetic anomalies are generally a small fraction of the magnetic field. The total field ranges from 25,000 to 65,000 nanoteslas (nT). To measure anomalies, magnetometers need a sensitivity of 10 nT or less."

Considering LycaMobile offers eSIM, I decided to try it out (EE network) as a possible alternative to GiffGaff (O2 network). However, there were some challenges along the way. Let's see how it turns out.
Give me an implementation I can self-host, without Google, Apple, etc. having effective control (including claws in my relevant software supply chain) and with an easy user experience, where I can maintain secure backups (on my own infrastructure, thank you) and smooth transition to future devices, and ideally, if needed, securely export root keys (cause if I don't control them then someone else owns them), and maybe I'll be interested.

In the meantime plain old high-entropy passwords with a good manager gives me all those features and a simplicity that's hard to beat.

In my 30+ years of computing I've suffered more harm from failures of other companies than I have from any failure of my own diligence. The whole lesson learned is to reduce trust in them and, maybe I'm wrong, but everything I've read about passkeys and the like seems to put me at liberty of the companies developing and pushing the implementations of them down my throat. It will take a lot of trust before I give up my ability to copy/paste my credentials.

Great news — social media is falling apart

The future of social media is looking more like a network of platforms that offer people a customized experience.

https://www.businessinsider.com/social-media-splintering-new...

short:

For more than a decade, social media has brought people together on a handful of platforms, most notably Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. But in an effort to feed the rapacious desire for growth, these platforms have transformed from places for people to connect to entertainment channels. As the big players have deteriorated into a chaotic mash of shouting and sponsored content, alienated users are decamping for a hodgepodge of platforms.

Like many young people, I've taken refuge in close-knit private circles such as group chats. In these smaller spaces, populated with friends and family, I don't feel the crippling pressure to overshare and harvest my every thought for possible work opportunities. These havens are free from the round-the-clock avalanche of meticulously curated content, ads, and brand campaigns. Instead of the stilted experience of hanging out in a shopping mall, group chats feel more like an intimate dinner at a friend's house.

People are also turning toward a new crop of social-media platforms that have emerged in the past few years to capitalize on the void left by the deterioration of large platforms. Some of the new entrants are trying to recreate the original, clutter-free social experiences big platforms used to offer, while others are experimenting with radical ideas to reboot the concept from scratch.

So far, none of the new sites can compete with the sheer size of the old, centralized networks, but they do offer some hope. As people grow tired of toxic and addictive platforms that undermine real social connection, this new wave of social-focused upstarts could end up producing a healthier online environment.
If someone is performing a denial of service attack from one I.P. address then this will help.

To tptacek's point, you've got to ask yourself is a denial of service attack in your threat model?

The reality is most folk set up fail2ban after seeing auth failures in their logs, not service degradation.

If you're considering a denial of service attack in your threat model, then I'd probably also consider a DDoS attack and there are likely more effective solutions here (a firewall or CDN).

And don't forget you're using some of those precious CPU cycles to parse the auth logs, with python no less :-)
Also a factor was that while clone machines existed of the IBM/Intel systems and earlier Apple and other 6502 computers, often out of Taiwan, the other vertical vendors managed to keep tighter control. 68k equipment from 3rd parties for Macs and such was much harder to come by. While that temporarily increased their margins, long term it meant that PC component costs kept dropping until you could get a 586 desktop that did 75% of a SPARCstation or NeXT for 30% of the cost.
> I know governments have numerous Supercomputers that blow past $200MM in build price, but what universities do?

Even when individual universities don't-- governments have supercomputing centers that universities are a primary user of and often charge back value of computing time to the university or it is a separate item that is competitively granted.

Here we're talking about Jupiter, which is a ~$300M supercomputer where research universities will be a primary user.
Copying information isn't the same as stealing. To steal means to take away.
Yeah, the third derivative is negative. Just needs to continue, perhaps speed up, but at least something's going in the right direction.
I see your point, though respectfully disagree. Voleon gets some real advantages from being "the only game in town" by being the only remotely large quant fund right next door to Berkeley, and Jon McAuliffe has his pick of good students from Berkeley. I don't think Voleon should be able to reap all of those advantages but not play by California's rules.

I wonder how this article is going down in the Berkeley stat department...

Meanwhile, the global troposphere is averaging 0.56C higher than it was four decades ago.
> you're still back using Google services

You are going to download APKs from Google servers, but you are not running the Google Play Services, which are the Google proprietary blobs that runs many Google stuff in the background. It already makes a huge difference.

So if your Google is to run a phone free of Google's proprietary stuff and you are willing to compromise on a few proprietary apps that you don't see yourself going without, or even open source apps not in F-Droid (that exists too), you are fine.

But when I ran Android, I wasn't making any of these compromises and still had a fulfilling life.

The situation for Signal in the free world is sadly not optimal indeed. I went to the extra mile of recompiling it myself without its dependencies on the Google libraries (GCM), which required a few code edits. It worked but it was a pain. The intermediary solution that still allows you to use a store is Aurora, and I guess it's convenient enough.
I don't know what you have against compile-once-run-many, but as a Rust user I agree that most software doesn't need C or Rust. I think there could probably be a Rust-like and a Java/Go-like, two general-purpose languages that cover 99% of software.
I started working professionally in the late 1980s and it seemed like the big competition at the time was between x86 and 680x0 variants.

From the Mac right up to multiprocessing minis (Bull DPX/2 for example could be had with 4 68030), plus a variety of high end workstation vendors (Sun, Apollo) the 680x0 seemed like a much higher end processor than anything Intel based.

Then Sun dropped it in favour of Sparc.

It took a while but the 386 and it's replacements gradually ate everything in that space thanks to Compaq leading the way. Even Sun had intel based machines.
I very much doubt the usefulness of the information you get from 23andme. I would say it's useful with a grain of salt when it comes to clinical accuracy, maybe it would enable someone to actually go to the doctor and get properly and accurately tested. But on the other hand, it can also enforce a false sense of security when the tests are clean. 'FDA approved' does not actually mean 'clinically useful'[1].

From the ancestry standpoint, I think it's only useful for a very limited set of individuals/scenarios. In my case, I'm 90% Eastern European which is... kind of basic considering I know where I was born. Yeah, I share a lot of my DNA with all the people who were born in roughly the same geographic area. Big fucking surprise?

I never used 23andme and not planning to (the example is from a close friend of mine who did). I think the privacy concerns far outweigh the benefits.

But I am interested in genetic testing so if anyone has any pointers for a privacy conscious, not-for-profit (maybe in academia?), non-Law Enforcement friendly entity and preferably does it anonymously, please let me know.

Wasn't this obvious from the get go that this can't work?

If AI will eventually generate say 10k by 10k images, I can resize to 2.001k by 1.999k or similar, and I just don't get how any subtle signal in the pixels can persist through that.

Maybe you could do something at the compositional level, but that seems restrictive to the output. Maybe something about like larger regions average color balance or something? But you wouldn't be able to fit many bits in there, especially when you need to avoid triggering accidentally.

Also: here are some play money markets for whether this will work:

A long time ago I had a company backchannel someone I actually would have listed as a reference except I knew he was out of country and on vacation. That left a sour taste in mouth and I ended up not going with their offer. So if you’re going to backchannel I’d suggest at least not cold calling.

Based on this tenant space listing [0] the building appears to have around 40k sq ft of leasable space. That works out to around 3.25 years of rent assuming 40k sq ft leasable at $32/sq ft.

It’s definitely not a good sign for commercial office space, that’s for sure.

US 30 year bonds are yielding 5%, that’s much more attractive than a half-leased Class B office tower with an 8% mortgage right now.

To be transparent, if I saw someone not tip when they took the bill I’d say something. I’ve heard of people looking explicitly at tips when evaluating dates, because it’s perceived as a (vague) proxy for empathy. I’ve also seen workers complain to the customer over not tipping, so you can totally be “outed” by them too.

I’m against tipping like a lot of this thread, but it’s a standard practice in the US. Being the one non-tipper is not changing the system, you’re just hurting the service worker.

which is why open-source AI, and affordable access to hardware, is so important. groups with access to powerful AI systems will crush those without. if competing institutions can build out equally powerful, competing AIs, it prevents any single actor from gaining too much advantage.

I remember hearing a lot about "democratizing" AI a few years ago, but now I just hear about "alignment," which is sort of the opposite. competing institutions, by definition, aren't aligned in their goals, so how could their AIs be?
I am surprised that no one has commented on the difficulty of learning/using the 68000 Assembly language versus Intel.

Iirc, there were no books available to me for the Motorola Assembly language programming nor do I remember having easy access to any environments for it.
Right. And trade secret protections are enforceable forever, not just for the 1-2 years that a non-compete might cover. And they almost certainly would not get thrown out even if (large) parts of an employment agreement did; in fact, often quant firms will make IP agreements separate from employment agreements.
That’s fair. I was thinking something in the realm of a bolded asterisk next to the title. Or something similarly subtle with an explanation in the rules perhaps. Obviously there are users who would meta comment about this each time it happened (as is happening currently), so I can understand the reluctance.
The first thing you need to do on any new Linux server installation:

I was thinking the other day about embedding keys in cameras, etc. but came up with the problem that you could just wire up a computer that BEHAVES like a CCD sensor and send whatever the hell you feel like in to the signing hardware, so you feed in your fake image and it gets signed by the camera as though it were real. I assume smarter people than me have put much more time into the problem, so I'd be interested to see any good resources on the subject.
Why? Have you seen the medical outcomes for people in that group who develop acute medical problems? I don't mean just the statistical outcomes, but the qualitative individual ones. Other than 'possibly survive a sudden famine' I cannot think of a single thing morbid obesity makes better.
My dream is to make everything visualizable at runtime. I think all of computing becomes very simple and much less complex if we can do this.

We are visualizing things in our head already. And any explanation of anything in computing is a diagram. But we have zero diagrams when coding.

Just dynamically instrument all code to send messages to a GUI.

These docs are comprehensive, but most people don't want that level of detail, so having someone else test it and write something short would help!

For awhile I didn't "push" Oils because it still had a Python dependency. But it's now in pure C++, and good news: as of this week, we're beating bash on some compute-bound benchmarks!

(I/O bound scripts have always been the same speed, which is most shell scripts)

(Also, we still need to rename Oil -> YSH in those docs, that will probably cause some confusion for awhile - https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/03/rename.html )

You're not making much sense here. The better init comes from training and little else.

That could be tricky. When I live, a cold burrito in a refrigerator cabinet is considered to be groceries, and is untaxed. Heat up that burrito, and it's a taxable meal. Also, some non-profit organizations aren't taxed on purchases, so the sticker price is the final price for them.

You can't pre-calculate the final taxed price using the local tax algorithms as they are today. They number can't be known until the transaction takes place.
