That kind of an MITM attack would require both a lack of public key pinning from Snapchat _and_ a compromised certificate authority issuing bogus Snapchat TLS certificates that were trusted by common consumer devices. It's possible for a state level actor, sure, but it's unlikely that kind of countermeasure is being deployed in a blanket over every device connected to the Gatwick airport wifi.

The parent post said (emphasis mine):

> While everything was *TLS* encrypted between all conversation participants and the Snapchat server

To which you replied:

> Snapchat *does not encrypt* text messages only photos and video.

Which isn't true. TLS is encryption, and provides effective protection against an MITM attack from the provider of the Gatwick airport wifi. Sure, E2EE encryption may provide better privacy. It's only providing a meaningful improvement against a certain group of adversaries, though. That's the set of attackers who have the resources to defeat TLS, even without public key pinning, yet who do not have the resources to compromise/keylog one or more of the devices or compel cooperation from Snapchat.

Even if Snapchat did E2EE their messages, you would be very unlikely to have certainty that _your_ messages were secure. All it takes is `shouldE2EE := username != 'dogma1137'`. Or more likely `shouldCCTheNSA := username == 'dogma1137'`. The only defence against that kind of coerced cooperation is a full source code audit, confidence that there's no obfuscated code fooling your auditor, reproducible builds of the app, an ongoing assurance of some kind that the installed build's checksum matches that of the audited code, and finally full and ongoing confidence that none of the other vendors involved in the production of your device from the OS software stack right down to the baseband chip, have been similarly coerced.

tl:dr, TLS is probably all you need. For the cases where TLS legitimately isn't sufficient, you should be assuming that any conversation within 100m of any electronic device has been compromised.
I certainly don't rule that out. But even the Hofstadter "strange loop" model explains awareness, moreso than the qualia of experience. (Show me an "ouch", and I'll show a way to accomplish identical behavior via -X weighting of utils.) And, it invokes the question of whether a sufficiently advanced predictive function in silicon/code would also have consciousness and/or qualia.

If yes, one essentially lands in IIT [0] (according to some, implying that even a light switch has a 1-bit micro-consciousness).

If no, then one wonders what utility qualia brings to the table, compared to simply optimizing the algorithm to work without subjectivity. (Would ML training be more effective if we could somehow add "yuck" and "yum" experiences? How would we tell, assuming we aren't accidentally doing it already?)

For another perspective, Peter Watts' novel "Blindsight" explores the idea that consciousness is merely a temporary local optimum, and eventually selected against, in favor of life forms which are intelligent without being conscious.

While I absolutely love the convenience of tap and pay systems, cash competes in many ways and we should not let the system slip away. The most obvious and egregious manifestation of this in my country is that they are not introducing new denominations. I used to be able to get coffe and breakfast with coins, now I need multiple notes.

They already introduced new designs of the old denominations that required cash machines to be updated for, so it’s doable.

I actually have a short book on the Itanic/Itanium done and planned to have it released as a free download by now. But various schedule-related stuff happened and it just hasn't happened yet.

I was a mostly hardware-focused industry analyst during Itanium's heyday so I find the topic really interesting. From a technical perspective, compilers (and dependency on them) certainly played a role but there were a bunch of other lessons too around market timing, partner strategies, fighting the last war, etc.

Worth keeping in mind that Helen Keller didn't loose her hearing (and sight) until an illness at 19 months old.

At this age, a child's brain has already locked in the sounds for their native language and lost the ability to learn non-native sounds (hell, research suggests that unborn infants can recognise the difference between their mothers native language and foreign languages before they even leave the womb). The typical child will have been using single word sentences for months and just starting to move onto two word sentences.

Keller might have regressed to zero language abilities after her illness, but she didn't need to start completely from scratch when she learned how to speak.
Oh, I haven’t even considered the problem of the low concentration in the air. The problem of the energy loss from conversion alone makes capturing a net loss, even if we assume 100% pure CO2 and theoretically perfect processes. Not putting it into the atmosphere in the first place is the only viable option. Otherwise you spend at least the same energy again just to undo the initial pollution. Practically it’s much worse.
Don't even get me started on the absurdity that is region-locked content in the age of the Internet.

It's a complex question. First, every diligence has very limited time, so for code and arch diligence, we get enough time to know if it's really good, or really bad. In the middle, you need weeks, not hours.

Second, every client has different priorities, but in general, they want to know what the potential risks are of tanking the investment, and what they need to do to make sure this can't hapen. PE firms aren't like VCs... they don't want a 1 in 10 chance of unicorn, they want a 90% chance of a solid return with zero chance of losing the entire thing. When you're spending $50M to a $1B, a low-but-avoidable risk of disaster is not OK. Finding those is our number one priority. If the code is not awful, then the people, process, and org risks are much more likely to do this.

I'm one of the first to say tech debt kills companies - I've literally seen it. But.... dysfunctional organizations kill companies worse and faster. And those are much easier to sniff out in two days of interviews.

I'd certainly entertain it as possibility. From a purely physical perspective, I think the Gaia Hypothesis [0] has some validity to it, even if the analogy to DNA organisms is deeply imperfect.

Where I stumble, though, is identifying a way in which the Earth is actively chasing any sort of free energy differential, meaning no iterated selection pressures, and (probably) nothing we could call intelligence.

The word "was" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting here. The Black was 2013, and the Pi was 2012, mate.

Arguably, the branding of the Pi is much better too, and they conquered the education market, and are widely available at various retailers. Not to mention the Pi compute modules being used in a lot of products by the likes of Korg.

Point of the Pi wasn't perf, even on release.
I tried to maintain a safe deposit box recently, and it was a comedy of errors. Well, it would've been comedy if it hadn't been my valuables at stake in there.

They couldn't get the paperwork right. From the first time I signed up and was issued a box, the paperwork was screwed up in some royal fashion, I would thoroughly read it and point out that they messed it up (always unfavorable to me) and they'd fix it up apologetically. This is a bank. Bankers do paperwork for a living and their livelihood depends on dotting "i"s and crossing "t"s, so to speak!

The worst experience was the second visit when I discovered that my keys no longer worked. Well, I'd brought only one key of course, and when we discovered that it had stopped working, they demanded for me to go back and bring in the twin key to test that one too. Of course it was jammed. I was absolutely appalled. The "senior relationship manager" said the boxes are old and tend to seize up like that. I demanded a letter in writing with their proposal to drill the lock and rekey it, for free, under my supervision.

So I came in on the Drill Day and, you know how they have that little private Viewing Room where you put the box, open it, and inspect its contents? Well, the drilling contractor had put all his tools and toolbox inside that room, so it was full of valuable property already. I was sort of flabbergasted at the clear security breaches they were committing, constantly. This is a bank!!!

So eventually I caught wind that safe deposit boxes are completely deprecated. The last straw is when I asked the banker what would happen in a power outage - could I retrieve my belongings? He said nah, the last power outage they had, the cameras stopped working so they closed and wouldn't allow any customers in. Well, shit, one purpose of having offsite storage was to stash some cash and emergency supplies in case the shit hits the fan, and they're telling me it'll be off-limits in case of the slightest outage or civil unrest.

So I decided that an SDB is useless for my (or anyone's) purposes and I closed it out and said bye-bye. They never screw up the paperwork on my checking or savings accounts.
If a customer service agent you just hired is called an "Executive Client Account Manager" what do you expect the talented software people to be called?

There's another obvious reason, which is that rich people have resources.

When cops steal from ordinary people, they rarely have the resources to fight it even if they hadn't just been robbed. So then the case never makes it to an appeals court for the media to cover it.

Or it does make it to court, because they're not actually poor, they're actually drug dealers with money to hire lawyers, but the courts are vaguely aware of this and then side with the police even if what the police did was entirely scandalous and unjust, because the victims are drug dealers. Which is how we get many terrible precedents.

So it's a rare opportunity when the police target some Beverly Hills high society chaps because it makes the people who would rather burn the constitution than let a drug dealer keep their money turn around and ask what stops this from being used against someone like themselves. And when they realize the answer is nothing, that's when you can often get a good precedent set.

Self-driving cars will likely increase accidents before they reduce them, if ever. It is pointless to outfit our roads and highways 100% with self-driving cars carrying only a handful, if that, of people, which is the only way you get to that unrealistic ideal of utilization. Trains, subways, and buses are "self-driving" technologies that we already have and are far more efficient at solving these problems. It is incredibly inefficient to have low passenger vehicles already. Making them self-driving just increases the cost of that inefficiency.
I'm sure you could achieve safety targets with a vehicle that was safe for those outside of it as well, perhaps safety for your children crossing the road should be attractive to consumers?

That applies to everything in life though... even when your literally doing nothing, just sitting under a tree on a pleasant day, a single big tree branch falling could end your life in an instant.

Purely due to random chance that a tree branch grew too weak and fell at the wrong time.

> Due to a mixture of standards, this has changed. The roof cap and pillars have thickened and curved for roll-over protection, and front pillars are also thicker to hold air bags that didn't exist in those older cars. The windows sills are higher up relative to the driver, to improve side-impact protection.

I've heard this argument before, but I'm simply not buying it. Cars like the Honda Civic or Volkswagen Golf have an excellent safety record, outclassing many giant SUVs while still having relatively small A-pillars and large windows on all sides. It is much more likely that it is simply a design choice, making them look "tough", "manly", and "aggressive" - just like that giant snowplow front which has become popular over the past few years.

If anything, giant SUVs are less safe, because they have to follow the less-strict safety standards for small trucks rather than passenger cars. They are especially prone to rollovers due to their high center of gravity. People feel safer in an SUV, because they are surrounded by similarly-sized vehicles rather than being surrounded by cars twice your size, but that doesn't actually make them safer.
It is, and that was suggested/linked to in both the other discussions before this was posted.

> Machine learning isn't comparable to software development. It is a statistical modelling exercise.

It's neither of the two. Machine learning isn't comparable to any other human endeavor because in many cases, much more value comes out of the models than (seemingly) goes in.

LLMs for example are punching way above their weight. The ideas underlying their software implementations are extremely simple compared to the incredibly complex behavior they produce. Take some neural networks that can be explained to a bright high schooler, add a few more relatively basic ML concepts, then push an unfiltered dump of half the Internet into it, and suddenly you get a machine that talks like a human.

Obviously I'm simplifying here, but consider that state-of-the-art LLM architectures are still simple enough that they can be completely understood through a 10-hour online course, and can be implemented in a few hundred lines of PyTorch code. That's absolutely bananas considering that the end result is something that can write a poem about airplanes in the style of Beowulf.

You should get your ApoB value low, but doctors in USA don't test ApoB. Tests are tied to insurance, which is tied to statistics. I care more about my body than the insurance statistics. I take Ezetimibe and Rosuvastatin, but I'm always considering dropping the statin. There are other drugs, but they are expensive, and some are injectables. Your insurance likely won't cover them, and your doctor is too busy playing golf to read about them.
