We're using Nomad, and appreciate its comparative simplicity (we launch plain binaries created with Nix), but there are still basic features missing that can create struggles. The ones I hit are:

* It can't work down batch jobs in priority order [1] -- a feature even the ultra-old university cluster schedulers had

* Sometimes job starts can be in arbitrary order, in the API and the UI, making it difficult to find the most recent ones [2]

* Nomad seems to store pretty much everything in its Raft state, making it extremely slow to startup and operate (including GUI) if some rogue process created 100k allocations. Cleaning that up seems to require nuking the Raft state, thus also losing all info about all jobs.

I don't know how well Kubernetes does in these areas.

Traditionally, a botnet can be compromised (at least largely) of actual consumer devices unknowingly making requests on their owners' behalf. This can cover hundreds of unrelated ISPs as the "origin" and is effectively indistinguishable from organic traffic to a popular destination. "Accountability" is not simple here.
I just finished a wonderful book that readers of this comment thread may find interesting: "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" by Ed Yong. The book is a relatively non-technical deep dive into the many ways different organisms sense their environments. The chapters are organized by the senses; in the chapter on hearing, he covers everything from mammals to insects. His discussion of echolocation was amazing: of the many species of bats, there are a number of quite different ways in which they use echolocation. Some bats use quite different chirps for "scan mode" versus "final approach on target" mode. He gives plots of FFT's of the various sounds researchers have captured. I could go on and on about his amazing descriptions of insect vibration sensing, electric eels, taste, sight in its various forms across species, etc. Great read, highly recommended.
You can be harsh — it is pretty dumb to come here shitting on a whole platform, when they don’t even know the basics.
> there are some published works that design MRI sequences ("pattern" in which you operate the MRI machine to switch/modulate the electromagnets of the gradient coils, send RF pulses, and record the received RF pulses) in such a way that they reduce or don't cause the majority of the noise from the switching of the gradient coil in a typical MRI sequence.

There are and they have various names from vendors (whisper mode, quiet suite etc). Unfortunately these modes of operation are usually a bit limiting in terms of resolution and make sequences longer. They do reduce the noise.

By and large, if you give kids a movie to watch you’ll get 30 minutes of them remaining still.

Clinically, the application for noise reduction is often for patients whose hearing is at risk and can’t be protected effectively. Animals and patients with pathology which prevents earplug or headphone use etc.

That depends if it is a hardware or software keylogger. I have several hardware keyloggers that go inline with the USB keyboard and a couple that are the keyboard. The keylogger keyboards can not be detected by anything beyond recognizing the model but they use very cheap generic keyboards.

I will defer to the rest of the comments for software as it is already being covered.

Selective prosecution is a defense under the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution.

However, the Supreme Court has left the prescribed remedy intentionally vague since 1996, which in turn makes the claims themselves less likely to be raised, and less likely to succeed.

Man, this is completely unrelated problem. Implicit operator overload is just a bad design. Integer promotion has advantages and disadvantages, especially in a language like C where you often use 8bit or 16bit types for memory optimization/alignment reasons.
You're using "at least they do something about antitrust" as an excuse for all their poorly thought out rules that increase compliance burdens and actually make competing in those markets harder. You can't then say "well the US isn't doing it" -- the US isn't imposing the higher compliance costs either.
My use of SSDs is generally limited to boot drives and redundant backup.

Only Apple charges an additional $100 per year though. I know that's nothing for big studios, but it scares very small indie devs away.
I doubt the price will go up that much, if at all. Maybe there will be more expensive tiers, but $20 will probably stay.

Between better quantization, pruning, smaller models through better training/distilling/architecture, hardware price drops and purpose-built hardware, it will probably be much cheaper to run such a model in the future.

You can link to sections in the middle of a document, not just the document. The link is by name so if you move that section to a different document they all update.

Why should developing countries share the externalities for products that you consume and use?

Maybe the market won't be able to solve these problems even with appropriate measures like those suggested here. Your argument seems to be, "it won't work so we shouldn't try because it will be worse for us" which doesn't seem convincing to me.
I don't see how this can be true. It generates code so much faster than GPT-4 does when you call it through chatgpt.
I've been working on anti-DDOS off and on for 20 years now. The answer is sometimes government actors, but oftentimes scammers in Eastern Europe. They do these big attacks for street cred amongst the botting community.

They then use their street cred to get paid by less scrupulous actors to attack their rivals. Sometimes the people paying are governments, sometimes just shady companies. For example last year there was a lot of crypto companies attacking each other's websites.

Most of the people who do this have a lot of technical skill but not a lot of opportunity to get paid for it based on where they live or the circumstances of their upbringing.
Anyone can claim that, there's no link to a specific actor
>There is zero (0) actions being taken to stop this madness. If you run a large website, you still regularly see attacks from routers compromised 3, 4, 5 years ago

Yes, you're 100% correct. Back in the day when the main bot net activity was spam if you were infected and you started sending TB of spam the ISP would first block your outgoing smtp. If they kept getting complaints in a week or two they'd cut you off.

I remember 30 years ago when most people were on dialup, I was fortunate enough to have 128kB SDSL. As a relatively clueless kid I decided to portscan an IP range belonging to a mobile service company. Few days later my dad got a phone call saying their IDS flagged it and "don't do it or we'll cancel your service". For a port scan of few public IPs no less!

ISPs could definitely put a stop to 99% of these botnets, but until they see some ROI, why would they bother?

The statement is only insane when one doesn't understand the behind the scenes electric company monopolies in the USA.

While cost per kilowatt hour has decreased significantly over the last decade, consumer prices have /increased/ significantly.

This is because the electric grid in the US is semi-regulated monopolies.

The same is not true for Oil, Gas, or Natural Gas as there is competition in the marketplace. The competition is light, and there are few players, but few is always better than a single supplier.

Single suppliers /always and forever/ raise prices beyond what the market can sustain, because they can.

100% this, Apple wants complete control over the distribution and tooling used on their platforms. While it does provide advantages for their hardware development I think it just ties back to them wanting 30% of any application or gaming revenue.
There’s another problem with Mac gaming: even though Macs have a higher marketshare than they’ve ever had before, they aren’t owned by people who are expecting to use them for games.

Someone who is into the PC gaming scene already owns a gaming PC by now. If they own a Mac it’s probably their productivity machine.

It’s obviously an anecdote but that’s how I do things. I have a gaming PC and all it does is gaming. My Mac is for portable computing and general productivity. Even though I own a Mac and some of my games work on Mac (like Baldur’s Gate 3), I rarely if ever use that Mac for gaming.

I think it’s on Apple to put real money into changing that perception (and to make the OS a little better for gaming - for example, Windows handles window management for games better, Mac handles mice with scroll wheels terribly unless you get third party software).

While I don't take starcraft2wol's theory seriously, there are a bunch of services that have made phone numbers essentially mandatory. They claim this is to "protect your account".

You sign up for a Skype account or Twitter account and decline to give your phone number, instead choosing a different form of 2FA? In my experience your account will be blocked for 'suspicious activity' even if you have literally no activity.
I still have a couple of cantennas that I made, oh, about 20 years or so ago. There was a coffee shop half a block from me that didn't have any WiFi (owner behind the times), so I set up a WRT54G with DD-WRT as a client bridge, hooked a cantenna to it, and pointed it at the coffee shop. With the cantenna at the other end, I was able to get a solid signal.

These days? With mobile data anywhere I'm likely to go, that's more trouble than needed. Aside from that, modern WiFi isn't really conducive to external antennas.
Median household in the bay is around 130k, not far off
We're into decade 6, if you look at the progenitors of software. Banks and airline systems were among the first to invest heavily into computer software, and we're watching them having to pay down their mortgage-sized tech debt. Southwest Airlines has had several ground stops because of software problems. Bank's are notoriously finicky to deal with.

What's would be fascinating is to see from the inside how massive distributed systems like Google operates evolves over a century.
A few fake posts is not "failure". Don't panic. Dust is kicked up on any platform for any given news event. When the dust settles the fake stuff gets identified with labels and replies. Some patience needed on busy news days. No big deal.

I found the information on X about the conflict mostly fine. The fake stuff was often easy to spot even before called out.

Most reasonable people don't want to be guilty of spreading false information. That's another reason why adding labels and corrective or context community notes to posts is effective, because it's a small motivator towards accuracy. Or a large motivator if they decide to limit accounts that attract too many notes.
> why don't they use those tools to combat botnets?

Because they probably don't care.
I’ve seen that claim but AFAICT it comes from a single source, which was a presentation by someone involved in the FireWire connector design. So at this point it’s more of an urban legend, until we have some solid confirmation.

It does not really matter though, they are very similar in construction, and are very sturdy, and I really like them both :)
This and a bunch of WRT54Gs bought for five dollars each because they were bricked let me do wifi for my whole apartment building while I was a senior in uni living off campus. Got the best connection I could afford from comcast and basically I became a mini ISP. I charged five bucks a month to 20 people and it paid for my own connection basically. The trick was that my own packets had priority :)

> I get what you’re saying. But, a 10% donation is significant regardless of your income level.

This is simply untrue. 10% of a $20K income is the difference between your baby having healthcare or not. 10% of a $1 billion income has zero influence on your lifestyle. The value of money is nonlinear. And furthermore most religions (in the US) position the percentages as pretax, so wealthy people actually pay rather less in percentage tithing than poor people do.

If religions wanted people to donate to the degree they were capable, the percentage function would be exponential. If you make $20K you donate $200. If you make $1 billion you donate $950 million.
Really? I only download/stream via torrent occasionally, but I've not run into that in a very long time. Just this past weekend I wanted to watch the first episode of the new season of Loki. Fired up the Disney+ app on my Sony TV. Black screen, no response.

Went into app settings and force closed the app, restarted app...black screen, no response.

Rebooted TV and opened Disney+ app. Black screen, no response.

Eventually just switched inputs to the laptop sitting under the TV stand. Clicked Popcorn Time icon (I leave VPN always on for this laptop). Clicked Loki. Clicked episode. Within 1 minute the show was playing.

This is one reason why I keep this as an option. Other times I admit I just can't be arsed to subscribe to yet another service to check out a show I heard about. Not claiming any moral high ground. I just don't want to pay for another streaming service when I already have paid access to 3 (at least until they offer something I know I want to watch for a month's subscription at minimum.)

Popular things that people want are stolen more often... so what? Correlation is not causation.

Piracy is theft, but it's pretty minor shouldn't be a felony and the harm is a dollar or two at most for movies and music per user and shouldn't be harshly penalized and thus probably isn't worth the studios or attorneys time to bother with.
What happens if I lose my phone?
First ask yourself what you're defending and from whom; is the data you are producing even worth anything to anyone? If the answer is no, risk does not exist and no defense is needed.

If you're producing something of perceived value, then you need to consider who might be interested in and what means or length they'll go through to get it. This practice is known as threat modeling and is the only meaningful way to get "security" without wasting resources.

When you threat model often, you come to realize almost all attackers are financially motivated and bound by market constraints, which means they're looking for the highest reward for the least amount of work; very few are looking to do anything else with your data other than to use it for quick monetary gain.

So? Let them eat cake. Leave a small amount of canary crypto-currency unprotected in your home directory. Set up a public ledger alert and if that currency is transfered, you know you've been compromised, by a keylogger or something else. It's very unlikely your keystrokes are worth any more than this.
Localized advertising is the obvious answer.

It's not.

How would that help?
It isn't, and this isn't authentication with a pin.

Passkeys also requires the device. Using a pin with this is 2-factor. Pin + hardware token.

Isn't it obvious that logging in with your face or your fingerprint is less secure? Sure, it's convenient, but any thug can just forcefully unlock your device.
Nope, not signing up.

The trend from Google continues to be towards "if you lose your phone with your credentials, you will be unable to log in". And Google refuses to create a scalable system that allows you access to your account by verifying your identity in person.

This is a recipe for disaster. And, possibly, a warning to move off GMail before it gets worse.
Valve isn't saying there is some technical problem with Metal that prevents game engines from using it, so how are other game engines supporting it relevant? Valve isn't supporting it because too few of their customers use Macs for it to be worth it to Valve. It may be worth it to other engine developers, or maybe those other engine developers are wasting their time/money, but in either case that has nothing to do with it not being worthwhile for Valve.

Valve publishes the relevant statistic btw. They have less Mac customers than Linux. Mac users are fringe and just aren't very relevant to Valve.
Shift is one cycle. Or is one cycle. If your table is using a fast algorithm, it’s going to add a few more cycles and a couple very predictable branches.

Meanwhile, divide is insanely slow.

If your table is in L1 or L2 cache, it should be faster than the divide, but if not, I’d guess it would be slower. As the article says, that’s why you test then hope it doesn’t change later.
For example a certain group decides to short on a share. The DDOS the company and "leak" it to the press. The bad press negatively impacts the share price. At least this was the way some time ago when I had to deal with such attacks.

Energy drinks are addictive and the inputs are cheap.

I suspect that to some degree individual drinks will be boom -> bust, as newer brands cannibalize the market by having (or advertising) superior energy, more caffeine, better comedowns, etc., and with older drinks having a higher likelihood of bad publicity simply on account of having been around longer. MLMs like Herbalife are also operating in the space (all "loaded tea" shops are MLM), so obviously in cases like that there's a ton of pressure producing early growth.

The PIN (or biometric) is not used to replace your Google account password. The PIN (or biometric) is used to authenticate to your device that holds your Passkeys, which in turn will authenticate you to your Google account (or any account that supports Passkey-based sign-in).
I think for anyone not working in national security, any thug could just as easily get your password out of you.
Yes, for sure. At least in the US, it will be in the spice aisle at your local generic grocery store (Safeway, Kroger, Walmart, Meijer, etc), although keep in mind that it is a very small container - on a cost-per-weight basis you are going to get a much better deal somewhere else.
