Is this Deep Green Resistance? If it is, the anti-trans thing is a combination of things, one of them being that they view hormone replacement therapy as an unnatural "big pharma" thing that can't survive in their idyllic future where the Earth has a population of 100,000, just like insulin for diabetics. The other is just that they had significant factional splits with thin voting margins, and the faction that kept the name was fighting against another faction that had some transgender members, so "Transgender people are industrialised freaks and/or rapists" was a convenient way to try to expel enough voting members of the opposing faction to seize control of the faction. A lot of the time when you see a random extreme political organisation that's nominally left-wing have a strongly anti-transgender stance, it's because at some point in their organisational past transgender people were casualties in some larger factional dispute.

DNS records aren't part of the encrypted or authenticated channel, so SSH is trivial to perform a key replacement attack against?
Do you know of a straightforward way to identify that this is happening: where one node is using DERP or one link between your nodes is falling back to DERP?
While obviously the true original would be better, I wonder how closely modern upscaling/de-noising/etc (possibly with AI assistance?) would approximate the lost footage.
OP specifically specifies that this was a "conveyor-belt sushi" restaurant. Those are only "all you can eat" in the sense that you're welcome to pull as many plates as you'd like off of the belt, but each plate is usually priced at one of a few different levels, and you will be charged for the total value of the plates you removed from the belt.

Eg, if yellow plates are $1, blue plates are $2, and orange plates are $3, and you pulled two orange plates, a blue plate and a yellow plate, your total would come out to $9 even if you didn't clear your plates.

Meta is asking me to log in with my facebook account. Then after authenticating with my FB account meta says I don't have a meta account.

Is this all some sort of scam to get me to click accept on whatever godforsaken ToS comes with a meta account? If the FB account is good enough to freakin AUTHENTICATE me then just use that ffs.
> That's a problem with all encryption anyways. Inspection has to be done at the end-user's device. So I don't think it's fair to hold that against S/MIME.

I don't think that has to be the case, though. Protocol negotiation is a thing; SSL negotiating the version of the protocol to use, HTTP 1.1 -> 2.0 negotiation, etc.

You could imagine a mail protocol that starts at an encryption level, then during the negotiation process when the mail-to-be-delivered provides a public key, the recipient server can check that key against a listing of keys accepted by the user, and if not included, attempt to negotiate down to an unencrypted version of the email.

The sender of the email could choose to not allow that downgrade and get an undeliverable mail error, or they could choose to allow the downgrade to plain text/html email. This could then be run through the standard spam/malware filtering as usual and the spam eliminated, while email that came from already trusted email can skip those filters because the user has already judged them worthy of accepting and keeping the communication private.

So I don't think that's an intrinsic difficulty of all encryption schemes for email, but...

> If it can be done with E2EE messaging apps, sure it can be done with email. Long-term storage is a really difficult problem anyways.

So first I'll state that I don't think all E2EE messaging apps reach the following bar, either, but the difference between an ephemeral SSL-encrypted communication channel and an email, fundamentally, is that the ephemeral channel won't be written to a disk somewhere, while the email will.

The window in which it is possible to get a copy, and the difficulty in obtaining it, is much more in favor of secrets staying secret in the ephemeral channel than it is in encrypted email. The data payload persists longer, and is likely encrypted by the same private key across many emails, so getting the emails and getting the keys are much easier than with the ephemeral channel that generates a temporary set of keys on each connection and never persists any of it to disk (so storing the communication with the hope of eventually grabbing the keys from the user's machine by virus or social engineering or just plain ol' physical theft doesn't even make any sense the same way GPG-encrypted email does).
Have you been able to look at the Tesla document? Do you think it'll meaningfully help the EE's at other automakers redesign their architectures?
> The Hollywood actors' union did not stop selling to a specific entity, they stopped work across the board.

Not entirely true; they stopped work for firms with which they did not have a labor agreement in place; they reached interim deals with a number of indie productions allowing work to proceed, even while the negotiations with the AMPTP were taking place.
The DC power for LED varies based on the bulb and most are less than 48V. Which means you end up with DC-DC converter in each one. DC-DC is slightly more efficient than DC-AC but not enough to make worth converting.

The same is true of electronics, you are replacing AC-DC charger with DC-DC charger.

The other big problem is that lots of appliances require more power than feasible with 48V. People are fine with the low-power DC right up until they need to plug in a space heater. Are you going to have two kinds of outlets everywhere? Or incrementally upgrade each circuit? Or are going to upgrade the wiring with super thick cable that can handle the current?
The more I think about this the more it rings true...
Nice job skipping the explicit qualifier of "plain vanilla"? Being able to build your own version on top isn't the same as an existing tested product.
Conveyor-belt sushi does not charge the same way a traditional "all you can eat" buffet restaurant charges. See my comment here[0].

> if you were in the 95th percentile of Starcraft players, that would truly be something, since the skill ceiling is MILES high.

If you made it near the top of diamond in Starcraft 2, that's probably top 5%, and that's still _miles_ away from where the pro players are. I made it near the top of diamond at some point after it came out and I was terrible at SC2.

Sapolsky's cartoonish mis-characterization of Schizophrenia and people afflicted with Schizophrenia is a joke and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. His widely-cited and (unfortunately) popular lecture on YouTube is proof positive that Sapolsky is an imposter and isn't truly interested in the rigors of scientific reasoning. If you want real cutting-edge Schizophrenia research it's best left to those on the front line in hospitals and Ivory Towers. Not armchair yahoos like Sapolsky who get a laugh off the backs of people suffering. He's done a great disservice to those who are afflicted with Schizophrenia. Much better than his rambling lecture is a TED talk given by Bethany Yeiser. Let's put a human face on Schizophrenia, shouldn't we?
Don't know about you, but without Maps I'd be completely lost. Also, all gov services in my country (Estonia) require Smart ID, which requires a smartphone. So if I want to log into my bank account, sign documents, look at my medical records, do tax declarations, manage my business information, manage car parking, and so on and so on, I will need a smartphone. I suppose I could use the oldschool physical ID card and a ID card reader for my computer, but then I'd not be able to do anything on the go, and I'm certainly not going to carry a computer with me to be able to pay for car parking.

I'd say being able to live without a smartphone is only in third-world countries at this point, and less and less even there. In Argentina, everything from government services to booking a hair salon appointment to viewing restaurant menus is done via Whatsapp and QR codes, for example.
none of the guidelines actually addresses this type of comment

They do. A significant chunk of the site guidelines boils down to 'no meta' and even address the specific kind of meta in the comments - meta about appropriateness of submissions and meta about the alleged misbehaviour of others.

The fact that it's not just your opinion doesn't change the fact that the mods have said this kind of commentary does not, in fact, provide value to them which was your claim.

But like tptacek says, just read/follow dang's comments, almost everything gets recycled through there on a regular basis.

> Even if mostly staged this is very impressive to me, not much on the current tech but more on how much leverage Google has to win this race on the long run because of its hardware presence.

I think you have too much information to form a reasonable opinion on the situation. Google is using editing techniques and specific scripting to try to demonstrate they have a sufficiently powerful general AI. The magnitude of this claim is huge, and the fact that they're faking it should be a likewise enormous scandal.

To sum this up "well I guess they're doing better than XYZ" discounts the absurd context of all this.

I'm not sure GoogleSQL is, for all intents and purposes, anything more than just a particular SQL implementation. Notably, it still breaks from the relational model in the same way and, as such, is prone to the very same bugs of which we speak.

The closest thing to the 'Rust' of SQL is probably Datalog. Even something like QUEL, which Postgres used for the first decade of its life, would have likely left us in a much better place.

But Oracle won the database wars, so we got left with the junk that came with it – for compatibility initially, and now we can't seem to move past SQL because the typical developer somehow has come to think SQL and relational algebra/calculus are the exact same thing...

Fiction:

"Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" and "Tress of the Emerald Sea" - Two of Brandon Sanderson's "secret projects" that he released this year and easily my favorites of the bunch. Tress is just such a fun adventure and Yumi left me an emotional wreck by the end.

"There Is No Antimemetics Division" - I had a brief period where I wanted to read some stories about clandestine operations around odd anomalies, SCP-adjacent if you will. This, alongside "Agents of Dreamland", is rather short and great for getting through in a couple sittings. It's all about taking on an entity that you actively can't remember the existence of.

Non-Fiction:

"Letters to a Young Poet" - This is a collection of ten letters sent from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke to a younger aspiring poet in the early 1900s. As a creative that sometimes struggles with the whole "what am I doing this for?", I found this a highly inspiring and comforting read.

"On Writing" - I'm sure most of you know the book, or at the least know Stephen King. The info in here on writing (at least in the style of King) is fantastic, but I think the memoir portions are the killer part of this book. The man certainly has a storied past, for better or worse.

You could always speak with the staff about your dietary restrictions as is standard practice for the allergic, intolerant, and such.

If they can accommodate your request, and they typically will, you’re golden. If not, you may need to patronize a different business. It is, after all, a reciprocal relationship. If your basic needs aren’t met, and they have a stiff policy on substitution - then yes, you are a jerk for ignoring them.
Sadly with the limited context sizes on LLMs, you can't ingest a large project at all once to ask for feedback on the more abstract requirements of "good" software practices/design.

That is unless the context sizes have significantly changed in the past months.

Add me to the list of people who owned a non-functional HP printer, due to no fault of my own.

Yes I had an 'ink subscription'. It broke down through a series of events, to the point I had no ink and none was coming. To get more, either a printer event (low ink) or a returned cartridge (I had none) were required.

I was paying for a printer lease/ink subscription which would never again yield any ink.

I cancelled, took the printer to the dump.
I wonder how long it will take for tech like foldable screens to make it's way to devices like this. After some scepticism, I've recently transitioned to a foldable and it does feel like the next evolution in phones, even if the tech is currently pretty fragile.
What modern phone charges at 48V? I'm not aware of any that charge at even 20V, outside of a couple of gimmick devices. No Samsung or Apple phone charges at anywhere close to that, that's for sure.

After one day's thought, "rented a movie in perpetuity" is almost as bonkers as "bought a driver's license". Yesterday, I was only asking for more explanation why you introduced the latter into the conversation.

> But I do need to purchase the ability to operate my car on my country's roads. Which effectively means my license costs money in some way or form to be usable.

I see a gulf between "costs money" and "bought". FWIW, I paid registration fees for my driver's license -- aka taxes.
Even in normal times, Microsoft does stack ranking. It's not great.
You're probably focusing on the wrong thing if you're jumping to the defense of people who leave things on the plate for any reason.

I didn’t believed Google presentation off-hand because I don’t care anymore, especially because it comes from them. I just use tools and adapt. Copilot helps me automating boring tasks, can’t help much at new stuff, so I actually discovered I often do “interesting” work. I use gpt 3.5/4 for everything but work, it’s been a bless, best suggestion engine for movies, books and music with just a prompt and without the need of tons of data about my watch history(looking at you youtube). In these strange times I’m actually learning a lot more, productivity is more or less the same as before llms, but annoying tasks are relieved a bit. All of that without the hype. Sometimes I laugh at Google, it must be a real shit show inside that mega corporation, but I kinda understand the need of a marketing editing, having a first class ticket on the AI train is so important for them as it seems they see it as an existential threat. At least it seems so since they decided to take the risk of lying.

> Much higher performance ethernet.

Depends what performance you are after. Ethernet isn't rated for safety critical stuff. It doesn't provide mechanisms for packet loss detection, and in most cases is pretty shit at flow control.

Ethernet is also shit for small sensors/actuators. There are lots of low bandwidth devices that need power and comms, ethernet isn't designed for that. having to route 2 pairs of cables to everything in a star pattern is really impractical.

Its probably ok for linking different zones, of non critical stuff. But running PoE? for all but specialist things, that sounds frankly stupid.
The most embarassing thing about this isn't that the board decided to fire the CEO. That happens all the time. Many startups replace their CEO, it isn't always clear whether it's the right decision, but that's the responsibility of the board.

The embarassing part is that the board decided to fire the CEO, announced their decision, refused to say why, attempted to put in place a new CEO but had to immediately demote the new CEO (Mira) after she rejected their plan, upset and alienated their core partners, along with almost all of their employees, and then publicly backtracked to undo the firing that led to this all happening.

Once you screw this up to such an incredible degree, how can anyone really trust that you were doing the rest of your job well?

One example is Porsche PDCC. It needs 48V to work so you end up with a car that has both.

Also I think all Mild Hybrids are 48V, so maybe theoretically you could get rid of the extra 12V battery there?
From a corporate standpoint, the big fear is that the LLM might do something that cause a big enough problem to cause the corporation to be sued. For LLMs to be really useful, they need to be able to do something...like maybe interact with the web.

Let's say you ask an LLM to apply to scholarships on your behalf and it does so, but also creates a ponzi scheme to help you pay for college. There isn't really a good way for the company who created the LLM to know that it won't ever try to do something like that. You can limit what it can do, but that also means it isn't useful for most of the things that would really be useful.

So eventually a corporation creates an LLM that is used to do something really bad. In the past, if you use your internet connection, email, MS Word, or whatever to do evil, the fault lies with you. No one sues Microsoft because a bomber wrote their todo list in Word. But with the LLM it starts blurring the lines between just being a tool that was used for evil and having a tool that is capable of evil to achieve a goal even if it wasn't explicitly asked to do something evil.
Total current consumption should be about the same (or even less, thanks to lower losses at 48v), so I'm not sure why would you would need a "much beefier" alternator. It will need different windings, but overall it should be about the same size and cost.
