I'm a few hours in, and it's enjoyable, but I'm not blown away by the gameplay as much as the graphics and sound design. It's a fairly linear affair with a lot of backtracking, and I find the Mind Place system tedious. It's a glorified menu system that blocks off progression until you've pinned some notes to predetermined places on the board, or watched some cutscenes where the character miraculously figures out what to do next. It's not engaging in any way, and just takes me out of the core game loop.

But I love the numerous references to Control and Max Payne, and how they've integrated it into the same universe. I can't wait for the Max Payne remakes, and hopefully the next installment in the series. I just wish it could be done without association with Rockstar. They ruined the experience of MP3, which was a solid game, but Rockstar's Social Club launcher is a garbage piece of software.
Isn’t there a discussion to be had about journalists (and activists) needing to insert intersectionality into fantasy worlds in a genre for a demographic that didn’t ask for it?

Don't we need to have a discussion first to debate whether you should be writing comments on such topics first? I mean, I didn't ask for your opinions, so I think it's a discussion worth having.
Wait until someone puts a gun on a drone and shoots up a concert from states away, or another country...
It is still important, since a higher price means a higher down payment.
Whither philosophy?
I don't seem to have bookmarked anything except for the link I posted earlier and the HN thread that discussed this (posted below).

From my memory it was every zen module up to and including zen3.

It's possible that zen4 has been fixed but I'm not certain about that.

There is a "requirements" section of the PDF that talks a little bit more about which CPUs were effected but that isn't distilled!

The justices put a ton of effort into maintaining the courts legitimacy. A large part of that is not making decisions that the vast majority of the country disagrees with, even if there's no real legal reason to do so. I think this would be one of those situations.
Not when they don't suffer for trying.

An unfortunately there is no good way, no technology board of overseers, who takes away their (smart)phone priviledges when they don't behave.
In fact, corporations have been using machine learning to expand their power for over a decade. The problem is not ai, but the lack of anti-trust enforcement.

if you don't just ban it, you get the whole GDPR consent banner issue. what is the downside of banning it? it's not like businesses couldn't manage advertising before the internet was around
There’s plenty of questions about ZFS in the show that get answered, that’s always a given.

I’d say their opinion on “ransomware being a backup problem not a security problem” was enlightening and their backup opinions are also interesting (Push vs. Pull, ZFSes snapshotting, etc.)

Allan’s experience in FreeBSD is welcome too, not every day you get to hear about FreeBSD in prod.

They both skew FOSS too but not in an idealistic way, it’s based on decades of experience.

Distributing CSAM.

They took about $10k worth of my home lab gear. After eight months I was told I could go collect it back after they found nothing.

It was pretty traumatic. I still need to write down the complete summary. I've got about 50 pages of notes.

Knowing I was innocent was a certain comfort, but I really didn't know if there were going to be other motivations to manufacture something. Thankfully that didn't happen.
You don't need a network at all. Just email me who you want to transact with and I'll create a row for them.
I'm not sure they are implying their data is more important. FWIW, the research claims:

Most of the previous research on data brokers and national security focuses on data about all U.S. persons, rather than focusing on servicemembers as we do in this report. Research in both categories is described here.

Also, I think of note is that Military personnel are unique in that they are banned from using tiktok, at least right now, as of recently. This research, combined with earlier and future research might be able to determine what kind of effect this ban has on data collection/data brokers.

I also think it is unique in that the US government is the employer of military personnel, so if they take any action related to protecting their employee data from brokers or from selling, maybe this can be a model for all US citizens, or at least for other employers.
That was generative AI so it can support financially as declared before. Nothing to worry about.
Discovered this sometime last year in my previous role as a platform engineer managing our on-prem kubernetes cluster as well as the CI/CD pipeline infrastructure.

Although I saw this dissonance between actual and assigned CPU causing issues, particularly CPU throttling, I struggled to find a scalable solution that would affect all Go deployments on the cluster.

Getting all devs to include that autoprocs dependency was not exactly an option for hundreds of projects. Alternatively, setting all CPU request/limit to a whole number and then assigning that to a GOMAXPROCS environment variable in a k8s manifest was also clunky and infeasible.

I ended up just using this GOMAXPROCS variable for some of our more highly multithreaded applications which yielded some improvements but I’ve yet to find a solution that is applicable to all deployments in a microservices architecture with a high variability of CPU requirements for each project.

IMO AML should be abolished because it is ineffective, inefficient and nothing would effectively change if removed. It recovers 100x less than its compliance cost. It’s the TSA of banking, it’s motion without progress.

> Our storage is sharded and bottomless.

Anyone can claim this and LVM together 20 64TiB EBS volumes and put them on one big node. That's not sharding or bottomless.

Sharding and a shared nothing have incredible benefits to anyone who has a requirement for uptime, scalability, and cost reduction. We’ve avoided supporting parts of MySQL that make scaling worse and are working to add them back in ways that work, like FKs. In return for not supporting all MySQL features we hand back an immense amount in return. This is something our customers have been happy with.

I agree so much! I've always shivered when they asked me what tech I'm passionate about on job interviews.

When I hear/read people who say that they're passionate about a javascript lib or a programming language, it sounds really disingenuous to me (or like marketing bs, depending on context). Although they probably mean well, in most cases.
Very cool! Looks like Wall-E.

That's because DLSS2 actually also antialiases the game fairly well and cheap, compared to other methods commonly used.
Not that a mortgage paid-off home is free (especially a house--especially older, with land, etc.), but there does come a point for most people when the income coming in goes down, they still need to live someplace, and you have at least some control if you own a place. You still owe taxes and have some maintenance to coder but it's not quite like having a monthly bill that has to be paid no matter what and you're always exposed to a landlord just deciding to sell.

There are also non-financial tradeoffs but some degree of stability is probably desirable if there is no reason to think you'll want to pickup and move across the country.
> Taxation can also redistribute land rent, and far more fairly than "mass homeownership" which isn't really a sustainable system anywhere.

A Georgist land value tax would do that job admirably, though it will probably never happen in any jurisdiction, since it would hurt wealthy landowners the most. That could be why "mass home ownership" is a more politically palatable flavor of the same base concept; both will spread land rents among more people.
If by "source" you want proof that the componenets with Apple branding are genuine parts salvaged from broken Apple products, I obviously can't do that.

Here's what the article says:

> The parts aren’t being seized because they’re counterfeit. In fact, they’re demonstrably not counterfeit: the only reason an Apple logo is on a piece of a “third-party” component is because that piece is original OEM Apple hardware being legally re-sold:

> “The parts I buy have an original flex on it because that’s what’s best for my consumers,” [repair shop owner Jessa Jones] said. “It’s difficult and pointless to erase the existing Apple logo that’s printed on a tiny piece of flex. There’s no customer-facing Apple logo, no logo anywhere on the glass. It’s smaller than a grain of rice. We have never said online, in person, or anywhere else that these are Apple-certified screens.”

That aligns with claims I've heard from Louis Rossmann about the parts he uses.

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/clgnmh/comment/evx65...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47-LNbb2vR8

I can't prove that any of these claims are true by Jessa, Louis, or the author of this article. But it shouldn't matter. People are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
The logical solution for browser vendors is to also roll back the URL bar by 10 years, where we had different indicators for extended validation, normal certificates and plaintext. I guess a blue EU-logo whenever Article-45 compliant CAs are used would make sense. Then we just have to teach people: blue is for "government snoop mode".
If you inherited it (at least in the US) there will be probate records. And property transfer records. There's LOTS of documentation for that sort of thing.
The availability of the copyrighted works is not determinative. Fair use in the US takes (at minimum) four factors into account, listed in the federal copyright statute: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107.

That quote from Stanford's library is not discussing fair use doctrine in general, but rather is stating what is permitted in those specific circumstances. There are plenty of instances of fair use where the underlying work used was available at a fair price. That's the whole point of fair use law: some use of a work that is facially infringement escapes liability because the particular use is considered fair.
"Won" is a statement which is accurate for the moment in which I did my review. I think all of these database providers are great.

Postgres people need a solution just as much as MySQL people do. I think when it comes to Postgres, the name in my mind is Neon, even though I am a Planetscale customer. In my current job, I need MySQL, but to be clear I wouldn't be against Neon (even as a PS fan) if I had a direct need for it.

Neon has a reason to exist even if Planetscale is in the "lead." There is a huge community around Vitess, including, you know, YouTube, not to mention MySQL, which also has an enormous community.

Keep up the good work. Databases as a service are a good thing to be doing.
Sticking your face in front of a pit bull is a strategy for what?

Writing up a plan for disaster recovery is a strategy for disaster recovery. The pros are that it is cheap and ticks the regulatory checkboxes. The downside is that it has a high probability of a high recovery time in the case of a disaster.

My point is that there are different pros and cons to every strategy that you can pick. I also don't think that all strategies are better than "default behaviour" whatever that is.
Control had a whole DLC devoted to the link (haven't played AW2 yet).

I stopped using youtube entirely for a few weeks when I got the popup the first time. I just recently watched a few couple videos and the popup seems to have disappeared? Maybe this shit is causing a bigger drop in numbers than they're comfortable with? It would surprise me if that was the case but I figure they're reporting "watch hours" to advertisers/investors and not "adblock-free watch hours". In order to keep misleading those people I could see them letting up on enforcement if it was causing a real numbers drop.
Banks have an incentive to create as many roadblocks as possible to prevent you from transferring out large sums of money.
I have had customers say this when not getting desired throughput cross-continent. "But the pipes! They are fat!" Yes but also your window needs to scale... 6 figure network engineers not knowing about window scaling, who do not know how to analyze a packet trace.

I recently had someone suggest that they needed 1ms latency cross-continent. I explained patiently that the laws of physics have to change for them to hit that number.

I am not even a network engineer!
> Hamlet: Get thee to a nunnery! Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me. I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves – believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery. Where’s your father?

[Snip]

> Hamlet. If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery. Go, farewell. Or if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go; and quickly too. Farewell.

I mean, what do people want with regards to a modern translation? Like, I could say "Hamlet then insults Ophelia by saying she should die as a virgin with a double-entendre also suggesting she's a whore" (Due to a quirk in the language of the 1500s, nunnery is a slang term for whorehouse), but its just not as awesome as the insult Hamlet actually slings in the play.

Its over the top, but you know, that's how theater is supposed to be sometimes. (And doubly so: Hamlet himself is being over-the-top on purpose "in universe").

---------

In my high school, there were "translation notes" so to speak... to help with the slang of the 1500s, to help you out when terms had a 2nd meaning that'd be lost on today. But the base layer is in fact, quite straightforward.

Its really not hard to understand the words as written, though I can definitely see needing deeper analysis + more reading to fully comprehend the scenes and all layers of the play.

But yeah, its like, almost all sex jokes, double-entendres, incredible insults. Etc. etc. Its probably the most low-brow, base humor just with an air of "Smart people think this is cultural" about it. Its stuff high schoolers should honestly find interesting, if its taught correctly.
Have you seen this video of the guy who on some sort of “adventure” outing? They are way up in the air on some sort of platform where you are supposed to jump across these planks from one platform to another. Someone is filming from either a platform or plateau next to the rig.

There’s a harness connected to a rail above you to catch you if you fall.

In the video the man gets halfway across and the cable attached to his harness just pops off. The instructor behind him instinctively reaches out as if he can use The Force to catch him if he biffs, but he makes it to the other side unharmed, and is all smiles until the cable catches up and bops him in the back. At which point he turns around and connects the dots.

It’s a bit like that. And this is the image that comes into my mind every time I discover we have untested recovery processes while we are in the middle of a recovery.
Citibank shareholders got diluted, and Citibank paid back for that bailout, with the taxpayers profiting ~12 billion in total.

If the money couldn't have been paid back, the shareholders wouldn't have been diluted.

They would have been wiped out.
Seems like being able to look up people's home address is a pretty minor part of that threat?
It's going to rewrite every pyramid conspiracy theory. Someone is probably already recording a video about how stone age people didn't have the technology to stack stones.
The story of crypto is the story of recreating the existing financial system from scratch, particularly including all its regulations that make the current modern financial system so annoying. Yes, the current financial regulations suck, but each one was put into place because of failures like you see in crypto every day. In the long run cyrpto regulation will wind up looking much like modern financial regulation because it suffers from the same pressures, incentives, and attack surfaces as the modern financial system. This isn't to say that the current financial regulation regime is good in any sense of the word, just that it's effective at what it's explicitly designed to respond to. Crypto that lacks the regulation of modern finance will suffer from one set of problems; modern financial regulation suffers from another set of problems emergent from the system of regulation itself. That crypto doesn't suffer from problems caused by the system of regulations does not make it inherently better than modern finance
To my knowledge, I'm not banned from using TikTok as a US military service member. The ban is about using it on government furnished equipment / devices / networks.
Anecdotal: I've been quite happy with T-Mobile's coverage for many years now. At least where I'm at they have just as good, if not better, coverage than Verizon does.
There's absurd amounts of cartel violence right now in Mexico. My brother in law is married to a lady who grew up in Mexico and she's lost several cousins to cartel violence. The town where her family lives is more or less vacant after hours. And I don't know about border-enforcement but state park police are actively engaging with these same cartel members and they are armed and violent (https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3577673-cartels-ar... from that I'd assume that these New Jalisco soldiers are not pleasant to deal with if you're one of these low-level BP guys (cartel's are involved in smuggling people through the border). I wouldn't want their jobs and I wouldn't call them "low life wannabe warrior's" either.
Great points in general, but two things:

> you don't want to give lots of information to the CIA if they're violent maniacs because they might use that information recklessly ... the biggest problem in the scenario is if the CIA is composed of violent maniacs, or if it's incentivized to cultivate rather than restrain people's tendencies to violent maniacal behavior.

The problem is that the system can act like a violent maniac without any individual human being one. Each person running a model, typing into Excel, making just a small decision, can add up to enormous injustices. Similar to how an experiment that just tries to collect all the data can be much more vulnerable to p-hacking and researcher bias, even with well-intentioned researchers who would never dream of intentionally faking or fabricating data.

> As an analogy about the base rate argument, people have argued that it could be beneficial for people's health to perform fewer tests

And I think a similar argument could be made to show that, in the face of flawed models (possibly much more flawed than diagnostic tests), it may be beneficial for the country if spy agencies actually had less information. I think this is why I included "gait" as one of my features that identified my theoretical terrorist. Maybe it's a useful feature, maybe not. Maybe he injured his foot yesterday, causing him to walk like someone who's planning a bombing. To make it really obvious, how would you feel if you found out the CIA was using Zodiac signs as one of the features of its terrorist-detector model? I'm sure it's not literally doing that, but I'm less sure it's not using features that are just as spurious.
It's cleaner to say that ELTP is really just two ETL steps done in sequence.

ETL1: gather the raw data from the data source, mapping it to the schema required to load it into the data store.

ETL2: pull the normalized data, process it in some way, and load into a downstream data store.

I suppose that ETL is typically bound to getting data into a warehouse, but that feels like a largely arbitrary distinction. We are just moving data from source to sink.
This won't stop here. Whoever in the EU government is willing to suffer the bad PR optics of outlawing Firefox, is willing to go further I'd wager. How long before Linux is banned in the EU on personal devices?
No, you're expected to call and set up an appointment with a banker who can sell you on some kind of business account that has appropriate services for moving money in that way.

And yes, this will cost more and take more time than the spreading-it-out method.
I don't use chrome. In Firefox reader mode is an icon in the address bar you can just press. Why would chrome hide it? Unless I'm missing something and you're both talking about something completely different.
ListenBrainz Service Incident
They've been throwing money left and right for years, they can throw some when we are unable to work.
I've talked about TLS before, it is a bane on the Internet in its current form.

Here is what users need from any browser that cares about the user:

- An option to not use OS supplied root certificates. Instead, to customize and set up user allowed certificates on the first run/first site use.

- An easy UI for trusted certificates that give categories and what each certificates scope means.

E.g. 'This certificate is issued by a telco provider on behalf of the Government of Canada, is a blanket certificate for all domains, can let the government see all your encrypted traffic.'

'This certificate is issued by the IT department of your organization and let's them see all encrypted traffic'

- It should appear as a warning when a user sees these blanket certificates used on general purpose websites (like Google services) and have a way to tell whether there is a potential MITM happening.

'Normally this website would use a certificate provided by Google.com Inc but it seems your Government issued certificate is being used to see all encrypted traffic you are sending to Gmail.com'

- Warn meaningfully about algorithm usage choices: 'The algorithm strength is 2048 bits and the year is 2023, and governments already have capable computers that can break this encryption with this strength.'
The Alan Wake and Tom Zane characters are mentioned in Control a number of times, and the FBC make several appearances in Alan Wake II.

In the case of Shakespeare, it doesn't make sense to look at the reading level of 16th century Londoners because they were watching his plays, not reading them.
