My co-researcher was thrown in with the sharks on that project. He'd never even taken calculus, let alone any form of coding class. And this was Matlab, by the by, a language that not only holds your hand, but chews your food for you too. He never really groked matrices either.

We were a neuro lab, so coding was seen as something similar to a hammer: Bang away with it all you want, but at the end of the day, it's going back in a dark drawer where it belongs with the other tools.

Hey thanks for this article. It covered a lot of things I had to figure out myself, at great pain and over the course of many weeks, to get a similar-ish workload running on EKS. It also has some ideas that I hadn’t really thought about, especially around using PVs to amortize the cost of model fetching across pod lifecycles. I like that an awful lot.
Right, this is the common sense approach for identifying the cause of a regression. Not sure what people do other than this unless it's a very simple codebase
If I had a gadget that might steal your life's savings, but assured you the probability was "near-zero", would you be ok with that?

Perhaps you personally would be fine with it. But would it be ok for a court declaring that someone has no recourse, and must accept such an uncompensated risk?

WMIProcessWatcher: CIA technique to async detect when a process is created
I think the main difference between Buffer Tree (Arge, Brodal and Fagerberg) and the more modern B-epsilon/Fractal/Hitchhiker Trees is what's stored in the branch buffer. Buffer Tree stores the data in the buffer. The newer Trees store the commands on data in the buffer, i.e. storing [insert(x), delete(y), update(a: 1), upsert(b: 2)] instead of [x, y, 1, 2]. The command+value are the data being migrated to the lower layers. The older papers just allude to "data" and show the asymptotic analysis.

Having commands is better because you can preserve the order of operations as multiple operations against the same record coming down the layers. Also it can short-circuit query at higher nodes, e.g. it's deleted. Upsert is much faster with a single upsert command added to the root node's buffer than the typical query-modify-write cycle.
> If I'm put in a role I don't like, I have time to find another job. Ideally, this would be explicit ("We don't like you, so we're giving you the shit work, but if you find a better offer, please take it.").

I'm not sure I quite following your argument. How is it harder to get a job when unemployed vs when being given shit work from 9-5? If it's financial anxiety, then severance is the best of both worlds: ex-employee gets paid and time to find a new job
Given that it is relevant to their research, they should consider learning how to code.

Otherwise you'll be at the mercy of whatever autogenerated code that you happen to be using, since you literally don't have the skill to check if it's actually working.

The other alternative is to work with a programmer.
So from a certain perspective, the positive niche / need it would fill is enabling the local power users who might also do complex Excel queries, or have their own MS Access, etc?

So... Half the appeal of crypto and Tether & co has been a separation from the current financial system and 'deep state,' yet here we are embracing both with hugs.

The cryptoverse is no place for making sense.
My interpretation of low-code includes headless CMSes, authentication as a service with pre-built components e.g. Clerk, plug-and-play collaboration e.g. Liveblocks. Those services save me a lot of time without having to worry about underlying implementation, and they also have some nice escape hatches.

However, I share the author's skepticism about other low-code tools that involve a lot of UI/visual flow building with limited insight into how the black box works and what its constraints are.
The same is true with part 2 of problem 8 and problem 21 which both are generally much harder problems which are made easier by carefully constructed test cases. I also find it somewhat annoying, but par for the course with advent given the same test data for part 1 & 2; and the fact that you actually see the only test case -- it's not hidden test cases like in other programming competitions.
CoreSight is not Apple proprietary, it’s part of ARM’s offering. This vulnerability appears to be part of CoreSight.

You are wrongly believing then. There’s still a bunch of ARM IP in their CPU.
And that’s about what we do - I love to cook, and grocery shopping is kind of fun, especially when I spot a particularly good-looking steak. I end up spending about 500 EUR/mo on groceries for my family of 3, and at least 100 of that is very elective.

I’ll go out to eat for the sake of socializing, but we rarely go out to eat as a family, because cooking at home is easier, along with being cheaper and frankly better than most restaurant meals that cost well over double what I paid for higher-quality ingredients. I’d rather have a friend come over and make lasagna with her than go out to a restaurant where it’s too loud to talk and the waiter comes over to see “if there’s anything we need” every 15 minutes.

Preferences can be cultivated. A preference for cooking and reading library books is less expensive than one for going to restaurants and the movies and maintaining the range of streaming subscriptions required to have access to all the currently-popular shows. I’ll leave more subjective judgments out of it.
T SNE Not PCA. With t SNE parameters that can be configured
Yeah, we were in a neuro lab. So your patch-clamping, pipette drawing, and tetrode dropping skills were a bit more prized.

My co-researcher had never taken calculus, let alone any coding. Trying to get him up to speed with all the various skills he'd missed out on would have taken another 4 years of full time 'remedial' education. Of course, there was no time for that, let alone budget.

I totally agree with you though. And that's why I really think that AI would have helped out a lot. It's not perfect in any way, but your velocity through all the pitfalls of learning is a lot faster with the AI helping out.
With Electron you are not developing an embedded browser, it is a dependency of your product which means you are responsible to keep this dependency secure and up-to-date.

I don't follow how rules for software with VPN functions could apply to a video game chat, but as with all laws intend and interpretation matters. Successfully convincing a judge that your game chat is a Class I critical product is unlikely.

On first glance, it seems strange to award more contracts to the provider using a totally unproven platform. I would have thought they would ramp up contract awards more conservatively in that case. I have to wonder whether the decision is in part about weighing unease with a new platform against unease with unpredictable leadership. Maybe that’s not a big factor, I could also see it being more about the lobbying power of established defense contractors.
I guess I don't agree that the analogy doesn't hold. You agree that the training isn't infringing, but you think my analogy is not the reason why. I think it is the reason why.

The Bolsheviks would beg to differ on whether the kulaks were an elite class.

When LLMs reproduce someone else's work, it is theft and appropriation, and our tech culture is rationalizing it out of hatred of the laptop class -- the kulaks, in my analogy. These traditional media do have their faults, and it's fine to point those out. But reporting is work, consisting of more than just "copying and transforming", and stealing it is wrong. "[F]orcing" it into the public domain is no more a "best outcome" than forcing the farms to collectivize.

Keeping sessions alive is useful, but there are lots of ways to improve security without losing much convenience.

Sessions shouldn't live longer on the server than on the client, that's just silly.

The cookie associated with a session should be updated with moderate frequency, and old cookies should be invalidated.

If a particular client doesn't connect for long enough, it should probably have its session revoked.
Are they losing money to compete on price?
If you dearly love that 5 (now 6) dollar daily coffee, I’m not going to say you’re wasteful. You’ve just decided that that coffee really is worth $18,000/decade (or perpetual $45k) instead of spending about $2,000/decade (or perpetual $5k - frivolous enough!) on a cappuccino machine plus decent beans and milk like I do.

You probably don’t waste as much as I do on skiing or amateur radio stuff.
> The infidelity example I used was actually part of one of the many HIPAA training classes that I've attended over the years. In the (real life) example the nurses were gossiping about the case in the elevator. It happened that a family member was in the elevator with them.

As I said, I read the original line as being specifically about using medical information privacy protection to keep the information from the spouse, and I think that's a less-than-robust example. I now understand that that wasn't your intent. Mentioning nurses gossiping and discussing patients in an unsecured location adds detail that makes it more robust.

> So, treatment for an STD, for example, should be public information? What if that treatment occurred while the spouse was on a six month military deployment?

My position is that the answer to the first question should be "no": treatment for an STD should not be public information. The answer to the second question has no bearing on the answer to the first, but it is presented/worded as if it should.

That the infidelity and STD treatment occurred while the spouse was deployed distracts from the fact that nurses shouldn't be gossiping in crowded elevators at all. Medical professionals shouldn't be gossiping in crowded elevators independent of the if the spouse is in the military or not or is deployed or not.
I am not the poster you replied to, but I’ve dealt with this in various forms.

For a number of close family members Google has variously refused to accept valid recovery emails, valid recovery codes, and valid backup phone numbers in order to regain account access.

Despite how ridiculous it is from a consistency and security perspective, your MFA- or backup contact- enrolled phone number with SMS is still essentially Google’s gold standard for determining rightful access to an account.

Their auth and password reset processes are constantly changing and they have several steps that are automatically adaptive.

The only foolproof ways I’m aware of to always retain access to your Google account is to enroll in Advanced Protection, and/or to use a paid Google Workspace account.

Why would I want to quantify it? The burden of proof is on the thief.

I have a gadget that will, with some probability, steal your life's savings. It operates through a process that is analogous to a human chewing. When engineering it, we just say for simplicity that the gadget "chews". Of course, that's only a metaphor -- machines can't chew.

But (and here's where your argument gets ridiculous), unless you can quantify the fact that my gadget can't chew, then I will steal your savings. Good luck.

From my experience, Podman is basically the same as Docker except for the stuff it’s still missing. Either one will teach you how to use containers but you may run into some walls with Podman. I’m not sure if it fully supports compose yet, for example.
The two writers will have two different new root nodes which need to be merged, and that could trigger further merging of lower level new nodes recursively. It becomes a merging of two subtrees. The subtrees can be quite different if node-splitting happens during inserts by the writers. It quickly becomes a complicate problem.
Honestly, this is why I use some version of the “Collection” class that is popular in most frameworks. Normalization for array and string functions is huge for reducing some cognitive load. Would it be nice if this was built in? Of course, but until then, I’ll take all the help I can get.
this is new technologies, and there are no scientists have salary higher than programmers
Not a fair comparison. One you were asking for fixed price contract the other you are paying a salary. The salaried person is more likely to be able to be agile and not need requirements (if you said to the intern $20k once I am happy with the job they’d say “define happy” and you are back to requirements!)

As for code vs. no code. If (big if!) bubble can do what you need it can be a cheaper route to launch an MVP.
i think the concept of "source code as AST" or something like that is basically a fine one, but the devil is in the details. your "true source" must continue to support (just off the top of my head):

- precise "decompilation" to readable, idiomatic text
- comments
- line numbers or some semantic equivalent
The appeal is in having a choice; having an option to use an alternative (crypto) monetary system, a hybrid, or fiat.

> Sellafield also handles all waste from UK's nuclear plants.

Let's see what you are trying to do here. If Sellafield handles both civilian and military waste, and Sellafield is bad, it follows that civilian nuclear waste is bad? That's your argument, right? And you see how it actually does not follow, logically speaking. It's like you saying this casino in Las Vegas is bad because there are lots of Mafia guys, and I say, yes, but at Carnegie Hall there are only musicians and ballerinas, and you say, sure but at at this Las Vegas casino there are musicians, ballerinas and Mafia guys, and it's a bad place, so Carnegie Hall must be a bad place too.

The vast majority of civilian nuclear power plants don't reprocess their spent fuel, and certainly not on site. They put the spent fuel first in some type of swimming pools with water, to allow them to cool down, and after a few years they put them in some dry casks.

The uranium from Sellafield was processed to extract the plutonium. That required huge amounts of chemicals, and there were some leaks. But those leaks are particular to the situation at Sellafield, and not relevant for the situation in Spain or other places that don't do reprocessing.
This is nitpicky, but that includes the diary you keep under your bed. You probably mean something closer to "published".
Oh. I have yet to encounter one of these that I'd take seriously.

I have an anecdote, from a friend of mine, from the 1990s.

He was a fairly well-paid team leader for an NYC bank. Ran a C++ shop. He had to wear a tie to work, but was paid enough to buy a house, in his twenties.

In any case, when I knew him, he was an even-higher-paid consultant, working for the same bank. This time, he wore a three-piece bespoke suit to work. He now owned a house in Port Washington, and he was still in his early thirties.

He told me that the bank wanted to release some new server-based product. This was before the Web was really a thing, so it probably was an EDI system (I didn't ask him what, as I knew he wouldn't tell me).

He consulted with his team, and submitted a proposal for a C++ project, taking several months, and costing six figures.

Some VP (banks have lots of those) came in, and had been studying Visual Basic. He also hated the IT teams (they can be like that, you know).

He told his higher-ups that he could write the whole thing, in VB, in half the time, for a quarter of the money (since he'd be doing most of the work, himself).

Stop me, if you've heard this before...

My friend lost the bid. He quit the company (along with most of his team), and traveled around the world for a couple of years.

When he got back, the bank was in a shambles. The VP had screwed the pooch in a big way, and was long fired. Attempts to redo the project were dumpster fires, since they no longer had any trained engineers on staff, and they couldn't hire new staff.

They were begging my friend to come back.

And the rest is history...
VBA reborn!
Ever since reading Ready Player One, I've been struck by the concept of omnidirectional VR treadmills.

These shoes are so much cooler than that. Now all we need are low-profile haptic gloves and possibly some system for generating wind to help generate the illusion of motion.
Except we know of occasions they printed tether in return for collateral promises, rather than actually for cash. Not to mention filling a hole with Bitfinex stock when one of their processors got raided.

Now, it's just a question of degree: they're so profitable they can recover from being fractional rapidly. OTOH, why mess with a working formula?
The difference between Tether and a standard bank actually seems pretty small to me. Tether doesn't look like they have enough money to pay back people holding Tether tokens. Banks don't have enough money to pay back depositors. Both muddle along fine.

Theoretically the banks have lower risk due to regulatory actions. We've had enough financial crisises now that a reasonable person could discount that. Given the levels of debt and spring-loaded derivatives, any institution is at risk these days. We can imagine a history book entry saying "XYZ couldn't return their depositors money" for pretty any actor in these markets.

The banks get bailouts of course, but that tends to be action outside the official rules; so maybe Tether will get it to? The differences here are mostly about how long the game has been played, not what the game is. Tether doesn't seem to be less reputable than the banks. It outlasted Credit Suisse for example. I'm not calling anything, but maybe Tether is going to behave a lot like another bank.
I think there were some early adopters with libertarian or just simple "stick it to the man" ideals that believed that, it was never the original position and those who wanted it to be that ended up up disillusioned.

Bitcoin was created with the notion of decentralized control in mind. It was all about having the option to go elsewhere. I'm not sure if the early developers stated a position on secrecy. I find it hard to reconcile the public ledger with any goal of avoiding scrutiny.
> Leaving the CU was inevitable in leaving the EU

You don't need to be a member of the EU to be a member of the EU customs union.

Monaco is not an EU member state, yet it is a member of the EU customs union.

In fact, post-Brexit, the UK remains a member of the EU customs union, but only with respect to Akrotiri and Dhekelia (British exclaves in Cyprus). (Additionally, the UK is negotiating with the EU and Spain for Gibraltar to join the Schengen area, and it is possible Gibraltar may also join the EU customs union as part of that.)

The EU also has (narrower) customs unions with Andorra, San Marino and Turkey.

The UK could have remained in a customs union with the EU at Brexit, if that had been negotiated as part of the Withdrawal Agreement. The EU might have been willing, but the UK made clear they weren't interested. The justification given by the UK, is that staying in (or rejoining) the EU customs union would reduce the UK's ability to make independent trade deals. However, the promised benefits of that ability have thus far failed to eventuate.
Great, so it looks like this requires phone manufacturers to add Microsoft-proprietary garbage to the USB descriptors. Instead of just having Windows do something sane like Linux and macOS do, and fall back to a standardized userspace interface.

I was thinking the same thing- the web page lists four employees, two advisors, and two founders. Some of those may be duplicates, but they spent an awful lot of space on the people, and only brief parts of the video on the (computer rendered) product.

Maybe some investors will be interested in the names behind the company, but nobody in the police/surveillance market cares. They want to see how closely it looks/sounds like a real bird, how long the battery lasts, etc. I expect that savvy investors realize that too, and probably aren’t chomping at the bit to invest in a company that goes public without at least a prototype to show off.
