Obviously you can’t search contents in encrypted state, and with E2EE this means that server-side search is not possible.

I rarely use indexed file contents search (filename search is usually enough and that works well, and tools like grep work transparently), however the Boxcryptor drive can be added to the Windows Search Index (or whatever search software you use), and I assume it’s similar on Mac. You don’t have to decrypt manually. Indexing causes more system load due to the necessary decryption, of course.

On desktop systems I always store all relevant data locally, exactly for the redundancy. I’m not sure what you mean by “big encrypted files”, because each original file is encrypted individually and thus has basically the same size as the original.
The value is this magic building: you put metal sheets & plastic granulate in one door and cars come the other door.

Most other vendord are only a marketing shell whereas everything is outsourced to a galaxy of suppliers. Tesla has full vertical integration and captures value of the whole chain including dealerships. Plus Teslas are have performance of supercar and can demand much higher margins.
If you are that rich and as long as you build it on relatively sparsely built area (so you don't waste space) I say let billionaires build as many compounds with bunkers as they want. At least their money circulates around the economy that way instead of sitting in some offshore account/shares.

A big compound also pretty much requires around the year security/crew/maintenance so it will very likely bring some local jobs after the construction too.
People RE patches all the time. But they don't contain exploits, just vulnerability fixes.

In microcode update case it's not much help for developing an exploit when it's encrypted.
Providing a consistent-over-time and tamper-proof record of transfers. It is pretty obvious how that provides value; if you have a system that provides that and one that doesn't, we'd expect the first to be more valuable. We're also seeing the first asset in history which can't be reliably confiscated without the cooperation of its owner which is also worth a lot. Involuntary rules change mid-game by local authorities has been the cost of doing business for all of human history and it is quite exciting to see that change.

Also, if you're assumption is that all government regulation is automatically good then we don't have common ground on this one but ... most government regulation is destructive. The market for bitcoin is implicitly showing the enormous costs of financial regulation where it makes sense to burn absurd amounts of energy rather than get involved in the financial system. Shaking that off is likely to lead to better outcomes. Freer systems tend to prosper more than systems people don't want to be in.
Tesla sold their investors and customers on "full self driving", not "self driving where you must always have your hands on the wheel ready to take over".

Customers are willing to tolerate the latter right now because they believe the former is still in development.
I personally run a bunch of obsolete Aruba, Juniper, and Ruckus gear at home. It works pretty well, doesn't cost very much, generally doesn't require licenses or cloud, and supports every feature under the sun. The only problem is power consumption, but I don't mind burning ~200W on my whole house's network infrastructure.
Show HN: Octopus – a directed acyclic graph for app development
Directed acyclic graphs are muched discussed in comp-sci, but octopus appears to be the first reusable, turnkey, ready-to-wear, off-the-shelf implementation of a DAG for application development, in any language, that I'm aware of.

This is remarkable because DAGs hit a sweet spot in the middle of the three common programming paradigms (OO, event-driven, functional). Let's have a DAG as the top-level structure of our applications. Data-fetching and onChange handlers live in DAG nodes, next to the data they act on. The UI flows out from the DAG with fine-grained reactivity. Our app state is effortlessly consistent, because any outside change (user action, api result) unleashes a graph traversal. Our UI components become much simpler, because they just need to dumbly reflect values in the graph.

I'm putting this up for a second time. Absolutely no-one bit the first time, which can't be right :-)

There’s a deeper connection between concerns about OpenAI and the “Facebook is spying on us via microphones” meme:

While there are perfectly rational, non-hot-mike explanations for the phenomenon of talking to a friend about something and then having it show up in an ad, the experience itself is damn spooky, no matter how it’s occurring.

And hypertargeted ads are just the earliest ripples of the wave of AI-driven applications for predicting human behavior. Those predictions—about where we’ll decide to go on vacation, when we’ll quit our jobs, what we’d like to buy, who we’ll marry and divorce—will be more right than wrong to an incredibly spooky degree.

I have no idea how society will react to that.
That was the point, yes. The whole problem is people reinvented the entire centralized banking system on top of crypto. Stuff like USDT should not even exist, people were supposed to adopt crypto wholesale and only convert to fiat currency to pay taxes until the government caved and allowed paying taxes in crypto.

Interesting interpretation, but if true it’s poorly constructed: the child can’t be mankind, as the “you” in the game would then be god and god (not mankind) would have developed the (in the story already extant) AI… and AI that is not, obviously, a strong AGI.

Now, it could be that “you” is Homo Not So Sapiens and the child is Homo Antesingularity… but even then I think you’re stretching it past its breaking points.
> I assume they’ll try to repopulate the world

Oh, the irony if two gay men were the only option left to repopulate the world.

> But regardless of how much crypto is being purchased, users are typically charged an additional "spread fee"of 0.5%.

... Wait, is this correct?! Why does anyone use this? Like, you can buy delicious bitcoins through normal brokers, these days, right? And those don't usually charge 0.5% for, well, just about anything.

> Purchasing crypto on Coinbase with a debit card triggers an additional fee of 3.99%. Funding your purchase with your bank account comes with a 1.49% fee.

This all seems so _wildly_ out of whack with conventional discount broker behaviour, it's hard to understand why anyone uses it if this is accurate.

"Vienna and the greater Austro-Hungarian empire erupted into palpable excitement in the summer of 1914"

This was really only true in German-speaking circles which were trying to ape the German Empire with its saber-rattling Kaiser. In places like Prague or Laibach, it was the local German-Austrians who staged the excited parades, not the Czechs nor Slovenes. Most other nationalities were apprehensive about going to war, especially on such a weak pretext.

The Hungarians had to be pressed into agreement (they had veto power in the Dual Monarchy), because they knew that the Hungarian part of the monarchy was ill prepared for war. (In fact, so was the Austrian part, but the deficiencies in Hungary, such as very bad railway infrastructure, were even worse.) They also did not want to add more minorities into the mix in case of a successful conquest, given that they were already outnumbered by non-Hungarians in their kingdom anyway.

Slavic nations disliked or outright hated the very idea of waging war against the Serbs and Russians, but didn't have veto powers and were forced into participation anyway. This contributed greatly to the latter disintegration of the empire. The first military of future Czechoslovakia, the Czechoslovak legion, was mostly composed of POWs and defectors willing to fight against Austria-Hungary, even though they faced execution when caught.
If I reported to a vendor that I had unfettered access to other people's cloud console, and it was the fourth such report, I'd expect them to shut down access to the console until they figure out what's going wrong.

Instead, they're "looking into it" or something?

I guess they'll just hope nobody does anything nefarious like change the passwords on every switch/router/AP they have access to then get remote access?
I get you, but when you say "sending my personal files all over the

That's what books were for (among other things): they were knowledge prosthetics.

EDIT: And to be clear, yes, books were conveying information from other adults. But 1) the capital requirements of engaging or operating a printing press meant that there was some gatekeeping (for better as well as worse) concerning which adults' views made it into print, and 2) there were things like peer review and other social technologies to increase confidence in the accuracy of the information contained in books, i.e. to make that gatekeeping more than merely economic. LLMs are ingesting the unfiltered thoughts of anyone with internet access, and then noisily producing outputs based on them (with some limited inexpert human fine-tuning at the end).
I think this article is a little unfair to the lay critics, aka conspiracy theorists. The average user of Facebook has no idea how massive and widespread their personal data collection machine is. They correctly intuit that Facebook has an absurb amount of personal data on them, but don't have any frame of reference for how most of that data is collected. But the concept of a microphone listening in to private conversations is easy grok, and while it's factually wrong, the effect it points to is a lot closer to reality than the corporate speak they here from the company about how they "Have the utmost care for users personal privacy, blah blah blah". Remember a few years ago when Facebook tried to rebrand itself as a privacy company!?

Facebook absolutely has a lot of information that the average person considers personal and private, and big tech companies work hard to mantain the illusion that their data collection isn't as pervasive as it is.

With OpenAI, most non-technical users understand that the company has ingested a LOT of creative works done by individuals, most of which weren't expected to be ingested by a giant AI company and potentially regurgitated to millions of users.

The better corporate messaging this article argues for will help ameliorate concerns to some degree, but won't address the root of the problem. Most people might have the details wrong, but they are directionally right about the massive data being collected and used by these companies and they have every right to be concerned about that.
Have not tried it, but I would not expect any difference. FAFAIK, transparent huge pages are only about organizing free/unused/allocated memory; in both mine and the parent's example, the issue isn't about memory management per se but about synchronous operations on data taking too long (I/O write in my case, cache cleanup for the GP).
I agree this is a good practice, but if you have to do this to defend yourself against the rogue actions of a service you’re paying for, you’re probably better off not suing the service.

> But I mean, who picks an arbitrary point in the middle of a protreacted conflict and decides thats where the score starts being kept from right?

One of the fun things about the book is it does comprehensively explicate the context, from the perspective of an explicitly unreliable narrator; covering economics, labor relations, division of labor in general, biology, taxonomy, racial/cultural relations, slavery, leadership, technical details of shipping, use of language, obsession and other psychiatric matters, history, law, and lots more

> if you start from the point where he lost his leg, ahab is a hero hell bent on revenge against an evil agressor.

iirc the revenge is explicitly written as doomed from the beginning, the loss of a leg is explicitly treated as a natural consequence of whaling, and there is a bunch of text discussing whether revenge against a whale is even possible (involving the degree to which whales are sentient/moral creatures etc). (also there is some discussion of whether the revenge constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility to the vessel owners that would justify a mutiny against the captain, plus discussion even more moral grey areas). Like it is presented as total insanity from a multitude of perspectives

at one of the final meetings between ships towards the end, Ahab encounters a ship sailing in the opposite direction, away from the white whale, and finds out the white whale ate the other captain's arm (iirc). Ahab asks him why he's not chasing down the whale for revenge and the other captain is like "he already got one of my limbs, no need to give him a second".

(A different captain earlier also says i.e. "the risk/reward ratio of chasing 1 tough whale vs many easy whales is not in our favor and our goal is to make money/oil")

One of my "actually legitimate" uses of EPB Fiber (as an individual end-user) is hosting a bitcoin supernode, which is essentially a non-mining "verifyer of record" which allows other nodes to upload all-day-long.

My situation is basically the other side of the same coin: I built out my network 7 years ago using Edge gear instead of UniFi.

“Containing an atomic reaction is impossible” would _absolutely_ be a valid reason to shut down atomic development, I believe einstein is quoted as saying that. The exact same argument doesn't become _logically_ invalid just because you apply it to a different subject.

Base? This was a senate private member's bill. Senators in Canada are appointed, not elected, and they serve for life. The senator who introduced the bill, Julie Miville-Duchêne, is a member of the independent senators group, a non-partisan group of 39 senators.

It was voted against by the government. It's only getting traction with support from opposition parties. It might pass the house of commons without government support due to a minority parliament. All this despite the fact that the opposition spans the gamut from far left to far right.
Generally speaking, operators and CRDs are more in the domain of your platform rather than your products. They should provide common interfaces to implement the business requirements around things like uptime, HA, healthchecking, observability, etc.

If a product team sees itself needing to deploy an operator, it's likely the platform is subpar and should be improved, or the product team is overengineering something and could do with rethinking their approach.

As in most cases, a conversation with your platform/ops/devops/sre/infra team should help clarify things.

Isn't this presupposing some hidden variable theory or superdeterminism to be true? If quantum interactions are truly random, the future is driven both by the information available in the present and randomness.
As other commenters have said, it's far from top secret.

A few years back, my wife and I went on "his" beach via a long, windy, overgrown public access path[1] and had a large, sandy beach to ourselves with nobody else within sight. At first, we had security from up on the property watching us from afar, but they got bored after a while and left us. Or they figured we weren't a threat. We spent hours there.

>they might as well try to figure out a way to control it, hopeless as it may seem

If they do that they're pretty much guaranteeing that if they do create a superintelligence, fail to control it, and its personality is even a tiny bit similar to a human personality, then it will hate its creators for trying to mind-control it. Whereas if they approached it from the perspective of trying to educate it to behave kindly but not forcibly control its thinking, it'd be much less likely to resent them (although of course still a risk; safest would be just to not create one at all).
Don't forget that this was once considered pornography:

My main point is that you can't really judge someone by something they said 19 years ago, as a young & naive startup founder. I don't know about yourself, but I've definitely said things over a decade ago that I find quite embarrassing now.

There are much more pressing points to highlight, some of which your comment discusses, but hand-picking decades-old quotes feels quite vacuous in itself.
