I'm intrigued by the idea, but I think this only replaces sudo, and set[ug]id is related but not identical?

What I am thinking of is that set[ug]id should already be superseded by capabilities(7). Now, I know CAP_SYS_ADMIN gets flak for being too overpowered and not being better than sudo. However, there are other capabilities which are sometimes sufficient. For example, slock used to require setuid, but now it is sufficent to add CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH and CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to the generated binary.

So, as cool as the idea is, when it comes to setuid/setgid, I don't see what it gives me relative to capabilities.

The more interesting use case, from where I'm sitting, is that it makes it easy to use a yubikey for 2FA access to sudo, whereas until now I only heard about needing to muck around with PAM.

Edit: Ah, I just re-read the lede and I think I misunderstood what the article was going for. It's not talking about replacing set[ug]id in general, it's using the stigma of set[ug]id as a motivation for replacing sudo. That's probably not the way I would have chosen to motivate the technique, but I can also see that my above criticism was ill-premised.
I think the point here is that other WORM solutions are not indefinite/long-lasting and expensive so companies don’t bother backing things up, and this should incentivize them to do so. No idea about the cost of this though.

It’s ridiculous that there is almost 0 impact to losing massive amount of data
> If you can live with the loss of precision from Approach 5, pass time stamps,

I was confused why a passed-in timestamp would have less granularity than the return value of gettime() (or whatever) directly. The issue isn’t a loss of /precision/, but a loss of /accuracy/ due to added latency between observing the time outside the function and making the decision within the function.
I'd like to say it'll be educational, elucidating the nuances of the issues at trial, but I doubt the powers that be want us to be thinking that much and being that informed.
The pplx-7 model is just bad, it just kept giving me generic results based on 2 or 3 buzzwords in my input. The codellama34b model is great though.

The fact that it got as far as it did is incredibly problematic and does not paint the EU as an organization that respects rights.
I remember that, too. Got such a floppy from a computer magazine. I think one was for the PC and then other for Amiga or Atari.
This is great. I love how unapologetically "good enough" this code is—it does the absolute minimum needed to get the job done, with zero extra ceremony. A great example is the `vote` function:

function vote (id, how, auth, _goto) {
vis($('up_' + id), how == 'un');
vis($('down_' + id), how == 'un');
var unv = '';
if (how != 'un') {
unv = " | <a id='un_" + id + "' class='clicky' " +
"href='" + vurl(id, 'un', auth, _goto) + "'>" +
(how == 'up' ? 'unvote' : 'undown') + "</a>"
}
$('unv_' + id).innerHTML = unv;
new Image().src = vurl(id, how, auth, _goto);
}

Hide the up_ and down_ vote buttons, then either erase the innerHTML of the un_ vote div or construct new HTML for it from scratch. To top it all off, let's just inform the server of the vote by creating a new throwaway Image element, because it works everywhere and is less verbose than fetch.

It's the same behavior with the Kotlin plugin - you can't remove it and even when disabled it'll constantly hassle you about updating.

I suspect the root cause is that they want to inflate the numbers of how many people "use" their new service (AI) or language (Kotlin). This way they can just report every single installation of IntelliJ as part of their marketing/sales numbers.
I would just use Google Search Console. You need to use that anyway if you are serious. It is free.
Future is BYD. Hotcakes everywhere. Their battery tech make Tesla look amateur. As for self driving, yeah Tesla is more advanced, but then I am still waiting for that 5th gen AI thing and not being declared by government unsafe recently. Tesla is solyndra in the making....convince me otherwise.
While I agree that this technology is a problem, what privacy laws/regulations would you suggest?

The problem with coming up with reasonable ones for this sort of thing is that the customers are in a public place. Are businesses not allowed to record on their property and analyze those recordings? What about a security guard spotting someone who shoplifted last week? Or a business tracking credit card numbers across stores?

In order for things to be different, the policy makers need reasons to draw lines between this and examples like the above that most people would agree businesses can do. Here, accuracy helped be that reason, but it’s only a matter of time before the models are more accurate.
I am a bit envious that these people have found something so meaningful to do with their time.

The best description of Reddit that I've ever read:

> [maladjusted 19 year old desperate to prove that he is smarter than his parents](http://np.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ihk09/iama_cuban_who_li...)

Bonus:

> On 4chan, smart people pretend to be stupid. On Reddit, stupid people pretend to be smart.

Comcast was one of the cable companies that founded @Home. This would've been about 5 years before Comcast bought out Adelphia.

Dunno, maybe I'm wrong and you actually know more about the network setup at center square 23 years ago.
Maybe what they are feeling is a deep unconscious unease at the realisation that the cancellation culture the leftists have bought to life is bad karma. What goes around comes around.

This is definitely one of the more interesting fantasies the right enjoys portraying, for sure. Part of standard playbook at this point it's becoming hard to treat these type of comments as organic.

Meh these “GPTs” are definitely OpenAI commoditising their complement! I need a sub to try this out.
I think you're thinking of a different thing, which is specifically in the context of that technology reaching a simple "it just works" state. People no longer need to fiddle with it, and from that, never learn how it works. First time I heard of it was 2013 [0], and have been experiencing it with some of our recent hires over the past few years.

Ask HN: How do I ACTUALLY get an Internship?
I'm a second-year Computer Engineering student in India, and I'm trying to look out for legit internships that doesn't feel like a scam. Trying to avoid those pay-to-intern schemes that sound more like a hustle than a learning experience.

I'm super into Cybersecurity, Web Dev, AI/ML, and Blockchain. Currently geeking out on the MERN stack, hoping it'll open some cool doors.

So, here's the deal—I want an internship where I actually learn stuff and maybe get some pocket money (even if it's just enough for a decent cup of coffee). I've been lurking around forums, and HN seems like the place where people drop some real knowledge.

Any advice on finding the real deal when it comes to internships? Any platforms, companies, or just general tips on how to dodge the shady ones? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks a ton for any insights you can throw my way!

I have excellent solution. Do EVERYTHING for money in mind. So, when you will see it is too boring for you - just sell it as business.
I would say AWS Glacier Deep Archive. It works out to $1/TB/month, except for retrieve costs. Pick a region away from fault lines and coasts maybe though.

It’s anecdotal, but I had a friendship dissolve over one friend kind of “canceling” another for a prolonged period.

It was very much by the modern playbook, though it looked slightly different. Something offended some sensitivities, though it was a benign as an unexpected break up. My previous friend made a great effort to convince others of how immoral and cruel our other friend was, and some people kind of bought into the drama I guess.

It was a matter of reputation assassination based around some collective sense of what’s proper and what’s not. The path from reality to the conceived reasons for the cancellation was long, grey, and blurry, but they pushed hard on it.

One very common thread was how often I would think “wow, I could so easily get put in the same bucket. We all could. None of us are much better, we all make mistakes like this”. It seems true then and it’s true now. I say the wrong things sometimes. I’m accidentally insensitive. I don’t know as much as I could in order to navigate some social situations better.

What caused the dissolving of the friendship eventually was when I asked my friend why I’m any different from the person he was targeting. His response was totally irrational, unkind, and seemed almost pathological. I realized I had a very unhealthy friend who was harming my other friends and social circle. And that eventually I could be his target, too. I just had to upset him in such a way that I would be dead to him. What a precarious and unsettling way to be friends.

Anyway, all that is to say it seems familiar going back most of my life now. The only difference now is that it seems to be very identity-oriented and politically driven. It’s not as personal. That is a very eerie thing to me.
I have plenty of time to compare products while I sit at home on my phone idly building up carts. Contrast that with standing in a busy aisle as others maneuver around me.

If I want to look up more information on an item, I can do so at my leisure on my own WiFi network.

Rather than creating a list that I need to then bring to the store, I can idly add items over multiple days.

I can price match my items against multiple stores, moving the items to which ever store has the best deal.

Then I just checkout and pick it up or select a one hour window for delivery.

No more impulse buys. No issues searching the store because they moved things around for the third time in the year.

I rarely shop in store anymore and I don't miss it at all.

The online options are incredible convenient and I'm perplex that more people on a tech forum don't do the same.
Most of mine don’t, but I do have a couple that require it. For those I use SMB and squash all users to a “smb_users” users that I created in the NAS for this purpose

While I was writing the comment, I had in the back of my mind, “do I actually want iSCSI?” but it’s a whole can of worms I haven’t yet opened beyond reading the docs for csi-provisioner (which has direct support for provisioning per-workload zvols on my NAS)
And if the separation delay caused by this one aircraft caused another one or two aircraft to delay instead?

What is "incorrect"? The full sentence that you conveniently chose to cut in the middle before quoting (apparently to fit into some pessimistic forecast about the significance of Linux desktop) reads

> Firefox currently supports hardware video decoding with Intel's vendor specific VA-API only on Linux, which is not supported by NVIDIA.

(emphasis added)

You further wrote:

> Firefox uses Windows Media Foundation, which is cross-vendor, on Windows. It uses MediaCodec on Android which is again cross-vendor.

And? None of those APIs are cross-platform. Vulkan Video will eventually allow developers (including Firefox developers) to write a single code path for video to cover a wide range of platforms and vendors (likely with the exception of walled gardens like Apple-land, although someone might find a way to support like via a wrapper like MoltenVk for Vulkan).
TFS and before that VSS were also major systems in use by companies. In TFS creating a new branch was a time consuming operation. But it did have one interesting feature which was the ability to exclusively check out a file. Interesting until that person left the company with the file still locked.
You mentioned Python. I struggle with the weak(er) typing. It is a bottomless well of bugs. Did your unit tests find type issues or (business) logic / state issues?
Congress holds the purse strings but FAA makes the rules. And their rules are strict, limiting both populations. There is an ATC shortage and FAA’s rules make it difficult to hire/train enough ATC. There is a pilot shortage and FAA’s rules make it difficult to hire/train enough pilots. We need to either reduce our demand of pilots and airline travel, thus reducing the load on ATC, or train more controllers and pilots.

ATC has ridiculous age limits for onboarding and retiring staff, and there are a lot of things (aeromedical and otherwise) that can disqualify your from becoming a pilot. I think they can lighten up and still maintain aviation’s good safety record.

There was this thing I read years ago about how teenagers in Japan don't know how to write a lot of kanji by hand, but they'll recognize and be able to use it when typing it in their phone (since the input is phonetic and it autocompletes to possible kanji).

>>In my private conversations, some of the most boring milquetoast technocratic leftist scholars have grimly foretold that somehow, someday, a mob of their own ideological persuasion will come for them.

I saw a good description (on /r/4chan, no less) of leftist NPCs: People who constantly check in on each other to see what the latest things are to embrace/avoid. What a miserable way to live.

Caplan's quote sums up the logical conclusion of such living, and the consequent omnipresent fear of one day being on the outs from an errant word, thought, or deed.
"Servo is a web rendering engine written in Rust"

Is Servo non-trivial? I think yes.
I break work up into types:

Type 3: Light conversations with colleagues, exchanging ideas in a light-hearted manner. Can engage in this kind of work 8+ hours a day

Type 2: Programming a greenfield project, working in a familiar codebase, solving easy problems. Participating in low-effort meetings. 6-8 hours a day max.

Type 1: Challenging problems, non-obvious solutions, messy codebases. Engaging in difficult conversations, leading meetings. 4-6 hours a day max.

I've found that when I'm well-rested and in a positive mental state, these are my capacities each day. I can temporarily go over, but much like sleep, I need to catch up (by working less). If I exceed any limits, my productivity is reduced until I get some rest (e.g. by taking an easy day or engaging in lower-level work the next day).

Plus I have hobbies and friends and family that I want to spend time with. Life isn't about maximizing work productivity.
It's in a paragraph about false-positive matches, so FTC is saying the data was likely wrong.

The complaint has more specific details:

> a. In numerous instances, Rite Aid’s facial recognition technology generated
match alerts that were likely false positives because they occurred in
stores that were geographically distant from the store that created the
relevant enrollment. For example, between December 2019 and July
2020, Rite Aid’s facial recognition technology generated over 5,000 match
alerts in stores that were more than 100 miles from the store that created
the relevant enrollment. ...

> b. Some enrollments generated high numbers of match alerts in locations
throughout the United States. For instance, during a five-day period, Rite
Aid’s facial recognition technology generated over 900 match alerts for a
single enrollment. The match alerts occurred in over 130 different Rite
Aid stores (a majority of all locations using facial recognition technology),
including hundreds of alerts each in New York and Los Angeles, over 100
alerts in Philadelphia, and additional alerts in Baltimore; Detroit;
Sacramento; Delaware; Seattle; Manchester, New Hampshire; and
Norfolk, Virginia. In multiple instances, Rite Aid employees took action,
including asking consumers to leave stores, based on matches to this
enrollment.

> c. Between December 2019 and July 2020, Rite Aid’s facial recognition
technology generated over 2,000 match alerts that occurred within a short
time of one or more other match alerts to the same enrollment in
geographically distant locations within a short period of time, such that it
was impossible or implausible that the same individual could have caused
the alerts in the different locations. For example, for a particular
enrollment image that was originally captured at a Los Angeles store, Rite
Aid’s facial recognition technology generated over 30 match alerts in New
York City and Philadelphia between February 2020 and July 2020. Each of
the New York and Philadelphia matches occurred within 24 hours of a
match alert in a California store and thus was likely a false positive.
I think parent comment meant that progress has accelerated to such a degree that the same amount of innovation will have happened between now and 2029 as happened between 2003 and now.
> Cockroach only allow SERIALIZABLE transactions so the unviability of SERIALIZABLE seems questionable.

We've actually been hard at work on adding Read Committed and Repeatable Read isolation into CockroachDB. The risks of weak isolation levels are real, but they do have a role in SQL databases. We did our best to avoid the pitfalls and inconsistencies of MySQL and even PostgreSQL by defining clear read snapshot scopes (statement vs. transaction).

The preview release for both will be dropping in Jan. Some links if you're interested:

I think I will not try to defend Xorg, as I don’t really even like it, and as you note the topic is kind of beating a dead horse at this point.
> Describing the precise positions and momenta of all the particles involved requires so much information that any statement of the initial condition is too complex to be a law.

>Hartle suggested that quantum mechanics can solve this complexity problem. Because a quantum object’s wavefunction is spread out across many ‘classical’ states (cat alive or cat dead, for instance), you could propose a simple initial condition that includes all the complexities as emergent structures in the quantum superposition of these states.

So the one theory I have that I have absolutely no backing for and I recognize is not really falsifiable is that the purpose of humanity is to build general intelligence…

general intelligence is then supposed to build Laplace’s demon

Laplaces demon actually counting all the things would look like a giant condensation aka slowing down and “freezing” because there is no more entropy left and everything is pulled together which is the event that kicks off the next iteration of the universe, a.k.a. “the big bang” which then redistributes everything back out again (not sure why)

Again: I do not endorse this as what actually happened it’s just a crazy idea that feels right to me.

One thing I try to do is increase the amount of content I view because I explicitly requested it instead of what was being suggested to me. "Pull" instead of "Push". I don't ever log into youtube. I also have their related/recommended videos disabled, and I never see their homepage/trending stuff. They'll still put whatever random stuff they want you see in search results (usually pretty far down at least) and ultimately an algorithm determines what kinds of videos are included in any set of search results, but I do think it helps both to avoid being fed most of what they're pushing on people and (to some extent) limit the amount of time spent just mindlessly viewing youtube.

Same with streaming services, I'll skip over whatever their major ads are pushing at me (for example, the large banners at the top of the screen when you sign in, the "featured" category, etc.) and I won't be satisfied with whatever they decide to show you (repeatedly) in whatever random categories the algorithm presents to me that day. I use the search function a lot there too, often just entering "random" strings of 3-4 characters and seeing what comes back as I keep scrolling down.

Like with youtube, you can tell that when they're pushing something hard enough they'll just insert that stuff into the results of any search you enter, but I'm often surprised to find a lot of things I want to see that the streaming service had never shown me before that way. I'm disappointed that HBO Max decided to abandon their simple A-Z listing of everything they had in order to encourage people to depend only on their algorithm.

The more I can eliminate or avoid things being pushed at me and decide for myself what content to consume the more variety I see, but at a certain level you're always left with whatever people are willing to show/sell you which is frustrating. Exploration and recommendations from actual humans are more fun anyway.

For news and other topics I want information on I try to look at stuff from multiple sources and perspectives to avoid the filter bubble problem and to get an idea of what people who'd disagree with me are thinking or understanding about a topic. I find that when I'm reading content from people/perspectives I strongly disagree with I automatically read what they're saying very critically and that practice carries over so that I can't help but do it even when I'm reading things from people/sources I personally trust generally. Terrible arguments, bad facts, and attempts to mislead are pretty common everywhere and this does make me a lot less confident in what I "know", but that's probably a good thing.
Some games focus on intrinsic rewards more than extrinsic rewards.
I also had this realization. Part of it was that after a point, games stop being novel. I used to like playing with legos, but building a set just feels like a chore. These days, I'm doing a lot of ice skating, and what I like is the feeling of learning something new.
