As for secure boot, assuming plan9 can boot from a read-only volume, that shouldn't be hard to implement. The (simplified) way it works on most systems is that secure boot is implement in the SOC and that's used to verify the installed bootloader and then the verified bootloader verifies that the boot volume is unmodified (think checksum, but a bit more complicated to make it boot faster. :) There isn't anything about that that couldn't be incorporated into almost any boot process.
I doubt Chrultrabook is anywhere near ThinkPad. Lenovo officially supports Linux and ships some models with Ubuntu or Fedora Linux. The Debian wiki has a great list tracking what works on each model. I've had success with ThinkPads that don't officially support Linux, with help from the wiki.

The giant warning banners on the submission site suggest its a complex and incomplete project.

this is surprisingly engaging!
All: this was a bug. We're reversing the charges. Everyone affected got an email. The tl;dr:

* The advance notice of the billing change (we announced in October, but only on our community site) slipped, but the billing change didn't. That's not OK! We agree: you get notified before we bill new things to you.

* Ordinarily, we waive invoices less than $5. Our billing code had a bug that let these charges slip through. D'oh.
Finally, a privacy technology that's actually interesting to me! I never thought of this before but it seems really nice to have.

That isn't currently technically feasible.
At that point you can just ditch both randstr and keyval entirely and encode directly into &heads[3].val since it allocates anyway. You still have to pass in a useless randlen because it will otherwise crash, oh well, the beauty of C "output" parameters.

This "copy from heap into stack variable" dance doesn't save on cleanups either since there is only one unconditional return after the encode.

(But I can see how you arrive at this current code if you "laid out" your needed variables at the top and then realized later Curl_base64_encode always allocates)

extremely low, tbh. OP needs to learn that it's a numbers game. Don't be picky, and shoot for positions that may seem out of reach. There's a lot of extra things I find that most don't try (most likely because they don't know). I didn't know either at first, but I spent probably mid double digit hours finding tips and tricks to maximizing interviews. OP, if you're reading this i'll list some out, it's not all inclusive, there's much more out there that I'm probably leaving out. You got to be hungry.

- cold messages + emails, use chatgpt or find recruiting influencers to best cater how to write good messages. Jeff Su had a really good one where he had a regex search pattern for recruiters who had emails in their profile that you can use.

- apply everyday, jobs refresh all the time. be the first 50. if there's over 100 or 200 applicants, might not be worth your time going through workday to fill everything out.

- have multiple versions of your resume catered to slightly nuiance positions. I had 3 version of mine that differed in the metrics I exemplified and the focus on what I worked on/achieved.

- use fishbowl,blind,reddit, any social media to get random referral. people are willing. take advantage of the playing field.

- small things like profile picture, format of resume (i spent over 25 hours on my resume getting it destroyed by friends and willing helpers, making small changes to action words and nouns).

- there's too many sites that have job postings, if you're only looking at monster or linkedin, you are probably 10 websites too short. scrounge the internet for all the sites and just send it.

- volunteer work pro bono, get some experience.

- apply like crazy but not all at once, i applied on avg to about 5-10 companies a day for 1.5 months. it helps you not get burned out. i only spent an hour per day, the rest i worked on my portfolio.

that's all i can think of off the top of my head. I hope you achieve your goals OP.

Android Voice Activity Detection
Android VAD library is designed to process audio in real-time and identify presence of human speech in audio samples that contain a mixture of speech and noise. The VAD functionality operates offline, performing all processing tasks directly on the mobile device.

The repository offers three distinct models for voice activity detection:

WebRTC VAD is based on a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) which is known for its exceptional speed and effectiveness in distinguishing between noise and silence. However, it may demonstrate relatively lower accuracy when it comes to differentiating speech from background noise.

Silero VAD is based on a Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and utilizes the ONNX Runtime Mobile for execution. It provides exceptional accuracy and achieves processing time that is very close to WebRTC VAD.

Yamnet VAD is based on a Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and employs the Mobilenet_v1 depthwise-separable convolution architecture. For execution utilizes the Tensorflow Lite runtime. Yamnet VAD can predict 521 audio event classes (such as speech, music, animal sounds and etc). It was trained on AudioSet-YouTube corpus.

Aleph | Remote - US or LATAM | getaleph.com/careers

Open positions: Software Engineer, Product Designer, Head of People, Founding Growth Marketer

Aleph is redefining the world of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). We operate in a well-defined software category with a multi-billion TAM yet a lack of a clear winner. We’re here to change that, and our early results speak for themselves.

We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Turo, Notion, Zapier, and others.

What we’ve built so far is the most seamless way to centralize all of a company's financial data – think expenses from Quickbooks or Netsuite, pipeline forecasts from Salesforce – and bring it into the tools finance teams are already using. But the vision goes way beyond that. We’re building the source of truth for a business’ data, and ultimately the platform businesses use to make better decisions.

We’re way ahead of schedule due to our unique approach, with no churn and rapid growth despite no marketing spend to date.

To apply, use the application in getaleph.com/careers and send me a quick email. Find me at pablo @ our domain.

> The current state of the art in large nuclear plants can’t be mass produced

That just false.

> any durable price declines at all.

If we stopped building wind turbines for decades the price declines wouldn't be durable either.

The simply reality is that when nuclear was built at scale, even with current PWR the prices are pretty damn good. India cost in their heavy water reactors are really good. South Koreas reactor prices in UEA are incredibly reasonable.

I actually did a bunch of calculations on this. Starting in around 2000, what if Germany had gone nuclear instead of solar/wind/storage and so on. I took very pessimistic price assumptions for the nuclear plants based on the South Korean reactors in UAE. And I assumed a scaling rate far lower then what France did in the 70/80s.

And even then the price for a complete transition of the whole grid to 95%+ nuclear was both cheaper and faster then what Germany actually achieved. And that would have come at a cost that amounts to about 4-5% of extra debt per GDP with resulting low electricity prices.

Germany as society is paying, far, far more then that. Just their recent emergency measures to subsidize prices are about as much as a whole nuclear fleet. Germany had decades of high energy prices that one had to account for and then they had a huge investment in wind and solar. Plus costly deals with Russia both politically and in cost terms.

Frankly, there is simply no evidence that Germany did better by Solar/Wind/Coal/Gas route then if they had done nuclear. And that is before we are even considering that without storage the system Germany building is very brittle and its not at all clear when they will actually achieve consistent 95%+ green energy.
> We got over this in other domains long ago.

How does the incident/accident rate in these other domains look like, then?

> How on earth does all this still depend on skilled individuals not making a mistake?

Everything safety critical always depends on skilled individuals not making a mistake, as long as there isn't full automation (in which case it depends on the people designing and implementing the automation system).

Until we do have that, mixed automation can actually make things less safe if it isn't done very deliberately and carefully, with people in operations relying on an imperfect system, and system designers on ops to catch complex and edge cases.

It's kind of fascinating that we've taken the lowest-bandwidth way of proving agency and effort - writing - and made it tremendously more labor-intensive to deduce whether any agency or effort were involved at all. I think the knock-on effects are probably huge - not only are the reporter and the maintainer both wasting time here that could be better spent on something useful, but the whole bug-bounty-crowdsourced-CVE process is now compromised by a lower signal-to-noise ratio and the probable outcome of raising barriers to submission as a means of dealing with the spam, meaning fewer bugs discovered and fixed, more security vulnerabilities, and everything that results from that.

The same dynamic is at play in other sectors, meaning we find ourselves increasingly unable to assign any trust to product reviews, court filings, recipes, how-to guides, medical advice, and so forth. One of the promises of the internet was the rapid expansion of content through democratization of publishing, but I think we're witnessing the gutting of any benefit that had left.
You're totally correct, and just to clarify for anyone who's not into audio/DSP this isn't referring to "data compression" but rather dynamic range compression. Basically quieter sounds get amplified so that the difference between a quiet sound and a loud sound is smaller, and then the whole thing gets amplified so that it's dancing right on the edge of clipping.

I suspect that this problem can be solved with greater computer power — instead of trying to squeeze everything into the context, LLMs will be fine-tuned to the design and architecture of each codebase.

Essentially, we’re relying only on “short term” memory for code generation at the moment, but should be using a mix of long- and short- term memory, just like human programmers.

Copilot and similar use-cases is like asking a random stranger a question on Stack Overflow. They may or may not be able to provide a useful answer, and that is highly dependent on the amount and quality of the context provided.

If you want an “AI coworker”, then proper “learning” will be needed…
You know, like when you use bacon grease in your USB ports. Or flip the monitor to face away from you when you’re pressing backspace. Just the regular things normal technomancers learn to do to avoid the wrath of the Basilisk.
I think this is easier said than done. If you only have a basic understanding of a language then can you really accurately accomplish this? Sounding natural/native is a challenge that even many speakers never obtain despite being able to be understandable. So even the (arguably poor) argument of "just learn English" isn't that great. I'd also say that that argument is poor because you don't need to know any specific language to contribute. Isn't it actually a good thing that we can bridge these gaps and allow more people to contribute? Certainly we should reduce noise but I think this is far easier said than done (and some noise is even helpful at times).

I just don't think there are easy answers, no matter how much we want there to be. We should be careful to not lose nuance to our desires.
You could say the same of EventBrite, Craigslist, and evite (birthday parties). Facebook is not alone. Why not just turn off all screens while you’re at it? /s

>> zero confidence that today we'd have public education, social security,

Neither of which should be federal programs. It has no business being at the federal level.

>>or freedom from religion.

It was not until the Civil War really the passage of the 14th amendment that the Bill of right even applied at the state level, that is why each state has their own Constitution.

In fact federal constitution implicitly did not bar States from supporting religion, the "separation" as it were was intended to only be for the federal government leaving each state to choose for themselves if they wanted to be secular or not (most did desire that anyway) however the federal government was to powerless to force a religion on any state, but also power less to prevent it.

the Civil War and 14th amendment forever upended the role of the federal government in State Affairs.

>>I'd be terrified if we had to relitigate the Bill of Rights

Hamilton as not in favor of the Bill of Rights[1], in fact has now be proven correct in his fears. he thought that the Bill of rights would become something it was never intended to be, that the people would view it as a complete list of rights the government as granted the people. A complete inversion of how the constitution is suppose to work. Often times the case law authorizing these new powers dive into the nuances of the "bill of rights" proving Hamilton correct when he said that men disposed to usurp power would use the Bill of Rights to expand government power beyond its authorized remit

For example since Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution does not grant the authority for the federal government to regulate Education then the government should have no power to create the Dept of Education yet they find all kinds of ways do things they are not actually empowered to do

>>.changed the method of election over the course of the past 200-odd years

yes for the worse, we have progress more to a centralized democracy with power consolidated into a single federal government. Moving away from the Republican form of government our founders established.

>> I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted.

I’m guessing you aren’t carrying an epi regularly — they seem likely to be broken if in my pocket. It’s not a pocket sized form factor.

The bag I have is about the size of two croissants — I keep it under seat in front of me or in my lap.

But this topic has inspired me to improve my process, so I would like to find a money belt or shoulder holster style bag to carry meds and epi while traveling. Basically body hugging.

Any help in finding something that isn’t from Temu, or some random drop shipper? I found one eagle creek bag but would prefer a shoulder style?
I find it increasingly repulsive to read. I'm not even surprised on the FB-like newsfeed full of ads (all suggested/promoted), but the happy-go-lucky, ignorant, agressively positive tone people strike there is hard to bear. As if everyone were a CEO TED speaker, everything is positive learning and growth, nothing remotely controversial.

This could have been a platform for professional exchange, hell, even something Substack-like.

"This I now perceived to be wrong, not because it is too radical, but because it is too simplistic.

One thing I'd be curious about is how many of these perturbations can you stack up?

A picture of a cat still retains an obvious cat-ness to humans, even when it's been tainted by "truck-ness", but they're slightly more likely to agree it's more truck-y. That response scales with how perturbed it is. (Fig 3 in paper.) If you added the perturbations for "vehicle-ness", would that response be stronger while affecting the image less than cracking up the intensity on the effect? Could you start combining separate concepts, and pick them out individually as like... "activation scores" or something?

If so, feels like compression all of a sudden. I know there's a ton of other ML compression things out there, but that just feels like it could be really information dense.
First of all, you're moving the goalpost since the conversation was about the cost of professionals, not the availability of treatment.

> The antistate libertarian "propaganda" is working so well because it's not propaganda but the only way to get treatment. At least they let me pay for the drugs myself, I'd probably kill myself if I couldn't get them just because the state said so.

It only works for the very small fraction that can pay “he equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of treatment, which means that for pretty much everyone it's literally as if state said that they cannot get them! In the richest country in the world, some people can't even afford drugs that are decades old, call that a way to get treatment.
