> Home surveillance stuff is also a waste of time. It is basically entirely ineffective, every petty criminal knows to wear a mask and clearance rates are below 15%.

This is very context-dependent.

If I lived in a large city somewhere and was often not at home, sure - but I live in a small town and am almost always home. "Home surveillance stuff" notifies me when something unexpected is happening on my property and lets me respond to it personally. The clearance rate for reported crimes is immaterial when you're able to prevent the harm from occurring in the first place.
It's worked great for us. Every developer runs a dev cluster on their own machines. Services like s3 are transparently replaced with mock versions. We have two builds that can be run, which really just determines which set of helm charts to deploy: the full stack or a lightweight one with just the bare necessities.
Yep. It’s such a cancer in the US too. So many NIMBY’s. Toronto when I went was so odd like a mix of dense and then houses.

If you have information that contradicts what multiple banks have told me I would love to know it, since it would be very nice to have that information available to my Canadian bankers.

In the 3 banks I've worked with in Canada, all were completely unable to access my American credit history.

The governments do share tax data, but AFAIK the banks have no way to link "John Smith SSN:123-45-6789" to "John Smith SIN:098-76-54321". They even have my US SSN number since Canadian banks report to the IRS.

I didn't grow up in California but Virginia so it was pretty lonely. Everyone online was from CA in the 90s and my friends didn't start having family computers until probably the 2000s.

And my parents really weren't very helpful with me growing it into a career. I was always "playing on the computer."
That is interesting information. I note that the same enzyme breaks down melatonin. If a variant that is particularly efficient at caffeine is also particularly efficient at breaking down melatonin, the symptom would be difficulty getting to sleep independent of amount of caffeine, which is totally fixed by taking melatonin tablets.
Do you blame Word for documents that make 0 sense because the contents are incoherent? Because that's basically what's happening here. The OKR in question were non nonsense and contradictory, but that's completely irrelevant to if OKRs are useful or not.

But simultaneously Matrix is not a good enough Discord alternative.

k8s is simply a set of bullet proof ideas to run production grade services forcing "hope is not a strategy" as much as possible, it standardises things like rollouts, rolling restarts, canary deployments, failover etc. You can replicate it with a zoo of loosely coupled products but a monolith which you can hire for with impeccable production record and industry certs will always be preferable to orgs. It's Googles way of fighting cloud vendor lockin' when they saw they're losing market share to AWS. Only large companies need it really, a small 5 person startup will do on Digital Ocean VPS just fine with some S3 for blob storage and CDN cache.
Yes, I heard this concept alleged publicly ~25 years ago. I've only heard the "bugdoor" term within the last few years.

The first time I heard the idea, someone was claiming publicly that a manager/lead at a tech vendor had been approached by a government, and asked to insert a backdoor that would look accidental, and without the larger organization aware. That might've been apocryphal, but the idea was plausible.

The idea is maybe received a bit differently today, when there's a ton more people doing work, by a ton of developers who haven't had correctness and security prioritized. Even some of the key bits of tech infrastructure, by some the largest tech companies, seem to think weekly security updates, for multiple CVEs each, isn't insane. "Uh, you want us to make a security vulnerability, and make it look like it was because we were negligent? If you can wait a week, I can give you a dozen all-natural ones."
Progress isn't inevitable because the government can stop it sometimes. Nuclear power is regulated to be forty times safer than natural gas (the safest natural gas) (the factor of forty is ignoring the additional climate costs), and that's why we don't have abundant nuclear power.
That document is an in-progress proposal to amend a rule, no? I think there was strong opposition to this rule before this accident flight, and the blowback from the missing data here might be strong enough to be able to get it passed anyway.
Is this just related to caffeine, or coffee in general? I drink a LOT of decaf, which probably ends up being 2-4 cups of "real" coffee.
If one were so inclined to be civically active in the US at least, it should be possible to set up an api with local law enforcement that would be able to take in data from always on microphones such as with widely deployed door bell cameras, smart assistants and phones coupled with ai sound recognition and automatically report and triangulate offending sources of noise which would probably go a long way towards making enforcement more plausible. Over a decade ago when I first proposed this I was against its development for obvious privacy concerns. Seeing as how that ship has long sailed it seems that were long over due to have such a background system in place. I mean at this point its no worse than the litany of cameras we see already deployed by municipalities on traffic lights.
Eh - they solve different problems. Bluesky is optimised to be able to aggregate likes across billions of tweets happening in a as-federated-as-possible way. That’s a hard technical problem. I don’t believe any existing federated solution can be “dropped in” to solve it. It’s tricky even in an entirely centralised system.

Those christofascist states have been seeing immigration inflows, are recently leading economically, and generally aren’t as screwed up reproductively where families are treated as expendable resources to be exploited for labour until they burn out like in blue states and Canada.

The left has done many nice things to ensure human rights and hedonism (not saying that negatively) but in the process all the values and traditions they deemed unimportant in the name of progress are catching up with them and I only seeing this intensify over time unless blue states and Canada have a serious come to Jesus moment. The current reality of blue states is they can ONLY exist in a world where places even more regressive than the red states exist and supply them with a constant supply of population to burn through and oddly nobody on the left seems to be all that concerned with this even though it will collapse blue state values and economics in less than a century as global population plateaus.

The American red states don’t strike me as a paragon of morality but they do strike me as one of the most relatively sustainable and affluent and “normal” cultures in the developed world, and affluent goes a long way.

If you’re expecting Canada to be a refuge from a conservative wave you’re likely to be disappointed because it and the blue states have much of the same systemic problems and it will be pressured to reform in much the same way.

Hashcash, Bitcoin’s predecessor, was created to solve email spam:

Exactly. Even in a relatively dense location, I have a new automation that runs when my cameras detect a person, both blaring a siren outside as well as notifying me in the house. Now about half a dozen times, it has stopped someone from getting farther than a few feet on the property, whereas without it I had people sneaking around looking for unlocked doors.
I remember a StackOverflow question about a one-ton tungsten(?) ball heading towards Earth from the edge of the solar system, I forget how many nines after the decimal point in it's velocity. The question was what what would happen to Earth--and the very surprising answer was basically nothing. The ball would be vaporized very quickly by the interplanetary medium and disperse long before reaching Earth. Some of the energy would hit but it wouldn't be enough to notice.
Also has China ever claimed to be Russia’s security guarantor?

I don't think the problem you're describing is actually a problem.

Exposure to super-high temps occurs in a small set of circumstances, all of which overlap with the destruction of the recording device and the cessation of incoming data. So we only need the same 1.2GB (or whatever) of high-temperature-tolerant storage.

The 25 hour storage can be on normal flash, as if we're more than 2 hours past the incident and data is continuing to come in, then the incident of interest did not destroy the airplane, and the flash will have remained within its normal operating parameters.
'Better life' or 'worse life' is always subjective, there is no way to objectively quantify what makes one life 'better' than another. You could list every objective measure imaginable (life expectancy, education, access to opportunity, etc.) and you would not be close to capturing or defining 'a better life'. Human satisfaction is largely a felt quality, an emotion that transcends data points.

Optimism is currently being used to fuel false political narratives. Any article on the topic can't help but feel political given the circumstances. Not just left vs. right, but capitalism vs. socialism, rich vs. poor, majority vs. minority. 'Things are better now then they ever have been' is an argument used in all those arenas. It's not am objective argument in any of them, it's a rhetorical device that advocates for the status quo.

We shouldn't be optimistic or pessimistic about the future, we should be both.
There you also have patient privacy to take into account.
I think it's more Corporate English. I've never heard anyone say it outside of a work meeting.
You can indirect webfingers, so @you@site-you-own points to @you@someone-else-owns-this-server.

It's not ideal because there isn't a reverse link; if someone-else-owns-this-server dies, people who were following you on it will see you evaporate. But you can edit @you@site-you-own to point to @you@your-new-site so that at least people holding your ur-name can find you.

But unfortunately, there are few better solutions when someone else owns the data. One nice thing about the Fediverse is you can ameliorate most of this by setting up your own server (though I won't pretend that's going to be the solution that replaces everyone using Twitter; I maintain my own server and it is the same pain in the ass that self-hosting has always been).
Only if the patient consents (or their family if they are unable to give legal consent), otherwise no for patient privacy.
This. It's the npm install 100 packages and do everything with JS vs Rails arguments all over again.
Your post is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

If your focus is narrow enough the vanilla gpt can still provide good enough results. We narrow down the scope for the gpt and ask it to answer binary questions. With that we get good results.

Your approach is better for supporting broader questions. We support that as well and there the results aren’t as good.

Well, there is the theory and then there is the reality.

Theory: having less privacy makes things easier for accident investigators, post-mortem.

Reality: In this case, the pilots did their job and got the plane down safely despite rapid depressurization and literally having their headsets sucked off of their heads. It is extremely unlikely to be pilot-error that a door-plug ripped off the airframe at 16,000' or that investigators would learn anything significant from the process in the flight-deck before or after the incident. At least nothing that would root-cause this incident.
If anyone has any tips on keeping up with control plane upgrades, please share them. We're having trouble keeping up with EKS upgrades. But, I think it's self-inflicted and we've got a lot of work to remove the knives that keep us from moving faster.

Things on my team's todo list (aka: correct the sins that occurred before therealfiona was hired):

- Change manifest files over to Helm. (Managing thousands of lines of yaml sucks, don't do it, use Helm or similar that we have not discovered yet.)
- Setup Renovate to help keep Helm chart versions up to date.
- Continue improving our process because there was none as of 2 years ago.
I've looked for this, the BioBank screen is this: https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/refer.cgi?id=100319 There is literally no guidance AFAICT. My best estimate is 8 US fl oz as per ChatGPT British still use cups to refer to that sometimes. And caffeine... it varies even from cup to cup, the estimate of 91mg per 8 oz cup is what I use.
IIRC, with 32 MB per core (8 per die - a Telum package has two of them), one socket has 256MB of cache for 16 cores. L1 and L2 are in-core, but L3 is on-die unused L2 from other core and L4 is unused L3 on the other die.

I am not sure if that continues off-package, but if it does, a drawer with 4 chips of 16 cores each will have 2 GB of off-chip cache and a full-sized Z with 5 drawers would have 10 GB of off-drawer cache (at this level it's probably not that much faster than same-drawer memory).

As for the RAIM, I think it's safe to assume it has a very wide path (n-1 modules) to the sockets and that aggregate bandwidth will not leave the 4 sockets starved (even if latencies suffer because of the redundancy, but you can replace a defective memory module with a running computer without it having to pause.
No federal law in the U.S. yet unfortunately, but more states are passing laws by the day (fortunately): https://iapp.org/resources/article/us-state-privacy-legislat...
Also, running checklists for specific types of emergencies.
I would expect that the nature of the accident would be clear nearly immediately

Not really. The cockpit door was blown open, and the pilot's headsets were blown off. It was a pretty chaotic event, and when you are flying an airplane, you definitely don't want to figuratively "jerk the wheel" - you remain calm and start running checklists.
That's interesting, the theme comes up in Starfield as well.
> A person ought to believe they can do great things.

I think there's pressure on us to think this, but I find that the older I get the happier I am moving away from this idea. I've accomplished a lot in my life and at the end of the day it doesn't bring me satisfaction. What brings me satisfaction is being able to sit quietly with peace of mind and be content with just being.

The desire to do "great things" is paired with an existential anxiety that I don't think is healthy. And not to be political, but often "great things" mean accomplishments that don't correctly model externalities like environmental damage and human exploitation.
It's corporate-speak. There are all sorts of these things.

Maybe my global transaction number is off. I'm not sure if the blockchain algo would have other bottlenecks when at 10gb blocks which is the size it would need to grow in order to accommodate 70k/sec. Certainly storage and network transfer is sufficient enough. It seems pretty feasible to process 16.67 MBps of data even on inefficient algorithms.

This is assuming uncorrelated results too. As you observe more and more of your businesses failing, you would want to update your estimate of your own rate of failure. Each new failure in a string of only failures is slight evidence that your own rate of failure may be >90%, even if it's 90% on average for everyone.

Even the same volume(cup) of coffee brewed the exact same way will vary in caffeine content based on whether it's a light or a dark roast. I wish more studies like this would just list mg of caffeine for comparison instead.
I (person who blamed the pilots union above) actually like unions. I could probably even say good things about pilot unions; I would say that part of the reason US airlines have fewer accidents than some other wealthy countries is the effect the unions have had on resisting attempts to work pilots through dangerous levels of fatigue, and on ensuring pilots can report dangerous situations and have them comprehensively fixed without retaliation.

I don't have faith in "market forces" to do those things, and consider the state of aviation in some other countries to be a living experiment showing why.

The opposition to cockpit recording is bonkers, though.
But in general, batching and pipelining are done via a text-based interface.

Activitypub is the federation equivalent of an at-home 3d printer. It’s easy enough to understand how it works and do stuff with it. And very hackable.

But it’s much harder for lay people to understand how it works internally.

I beg to differ because the fit and finish on a base model Prius is head and shoulders better than the base Model 3. The much greater reliability cannot be overstated. After 200,000 miles a well maintained Prius has no worries about $20,000 replacement battery cost like a similarly driven Model 3.
