Yep, Putin will absolutely try to grab new land whenever he thinks he can get away with it, no matter how many young Russian men die in the process. To him it's just a game to fulfill his fantasies of being a great conquering czar, and for that reason credibility of NATO's article 5 is vital.

Even the good relations between EU and Russia pre-2014 were just theater on Russia's part. Here in Finland during those years shady Russian businessmen kept buying properties that made no financial sense, but were located close to critical infrastructure or military locations. They have never acted in good faith.

Dynamic, results, and data-driven, customer-focused Product Manager with over 15 years of experience. During my career, I was growing software, travel, and e-commerce (mostly marketplace) startups and products.

My biggest passion is working with people, and creating and supporting teams. Following my passion, I started my education as an organizational and personal coach. I have a strong belief that collaboration and good people-oriented culture make difference for the company.

Moreover, I founded the peer-support group for senior product people where my colleagues can discuss their problems in a non-judgmental and supportive environment.

I have successfully led the direction of the product strategy, directly responsible for developing and driving product goals, OKR’s, roadmaps, and building out and mentoring teams (UX, Product, BA, Development, QA, DevOps).

Also, I have my own practice as an executive and life coach in existential and psychodynamic methods.
Are you sure about that? Quite a few people going shopping are just to pick up a couple of items - they need milk for the kids' breakfast, or forgot to pick up a couple of tomatoes for dinner. There's a 15-items-or-less counter because people use it.

A bike can carry several bags, with a front basket and two side baskets.

In an area not built solely for cars, the purchasing dynamics change a lot. With a bike, you can park in front of the store and be in and out pretty quickly. You end up doing a smaller trips more often rather than large trips. You also end up having more smaller stores nearby, for daily shopping.

You still use the car for the monthly big trips to Costco, but walk or bike to fill in the odds&ends. Also, several grocery stores in our city offer delivery, so that's another option for the bulky items.
If you define "control" narrowly enough, nothing controls anything. But if you use a plain reading of "control" as in "can and will influence the actions of", it seems like "doesn't control in any way" is trivially false.
"presigned" URLs[1] are a pretty standard and recommended way of providing users access to upload/download content to Amazon S3 buckets without needing other forms of authentication like IAM credential pair, or STS token, etc

Web Applications do utilize this pattern very frequently

But as noted i previous comment these do have short expiry times (configurable) so that there is no permanent or long-term risk on the lines of the OP article

What is the deal with Nvidia and AI
In over 16 years of investing, including the 2020-2021 meme stock frenzy, I have yet to see anything like the past year or so and especially the past 2 months. Just how relentless Nvidia is. And at the same time, Apple, Google ,and Tesla have fallen a lot, yet the indexes keep going up, thanks to Ai and chips. Who else feels like they left money on the table by missing out on Nvidia, selling too soon, or being invested in the wrong tech stocks like Apple, Google, or Tesla.

People say " market overextended, it will fall" or "bubble" yet it keeps going up literally every day for weeks on end. Even in the 90s and 2020 it was not like this. Is this like the Singularity actually happening or something. Is this truly a new paradigm.

According to NDI(Movember 2023):
42% say that Ukraine should engage in negotiations, but
84% do not find it acceptable to end the war if it means letting Russia have the territory it controls currently. Even if Russia leaves all territory occupied since the 2022 invasion, 73% won't agree to such peace deal, they want pre-2014 borders.

My understanding is that git and mercurial were created independently around the same time, so in a world where Torvalds didn't create git we'd probably all use hg. Although, it isn't super hard to imagine him still working in system software and eventually creating git under almost the same circumstances, just that it would be used on a BSD rather than Linux.

UNESCO's GenAI strategy talks a lot about fears of students cheating on papers but it does set a poor precedence if teachers seem not to hold up their end of the bargain.

GenAI could generate novel questions, not just answers. It could make both kids and adults more curious about our world.

After spending my career in supply chain and logistics, I am now at the interface of design and support for complex systems. So, reliability, or rather the full Reliability-Availability-Maintainability-Testability-Supportability, RAMT(S), is really important for my work.

It is quite fascinating, that besides the overall performance and capabilities of a system, pros care about RAMT a lot. Regardless of the field. Nice to see that confirmed, in yet another field I knew next to nothing about.

The usual good quality writing by Bruce, with some thoughts that are
on everybody's minds about the amplification of power imbalance
looming because of big-tech commercial AI.

Note; this is a call not to _regulate_ commercial AI but to directly
address the balance, or rather re-balance the playing field with a
(presumably free and open) public AI.

But what would this be exactly? A model? A standard for training
models? Another kind of abstract standard? A dataset for training
models? A publicly funded compute pool?

The elephant in the room is guardrails and alignment. Would this
public AI follow the same (completely broken and theoretically
impossible) restraints given to commercial AI services? Or would it
impose a different set of government restraints? Could we still shop
around for more or less permissive models?

The comparison Bruce misses is that obviously search was a very
important societal function. In the early days search looked like the
kind of "big" problem mentioned; particle accelerators, nuclear
reactors, road and rail networks... because you needed "big compute"
to do it... right?

But that was never really true. Google started in a garage. If any
national government had wanted to level the playing field they could
have stepped in circa 2000 and created a "public search". Why did that
not happen? Even in Europe or the UK, why can't I just search on an
ad-free authoritative engine run out of a minor tax for the benefit of
all economies? Instead we're 20 years on and Google - a frankly awful
search engine - is almost irrelevant now as a plethora of alternatives
exist.

And for that same reason I doubt we will see a positive offering in
the sphere of "public AI".

Instead I think "public" AI will mean individually private AI on
domestic and high-end hardware - very quickly now. It will move
on-prem and even into phone devices as is already happening. The next
big breakthroughs will be in training which will reduce it to a hobby
coders purview. The days of "Big AI" will turn out to be a short-lived
temporary advantage.
I think Putin would not invade Poland, it's just as strong or even stronger than Ukraine, with less corruption, better economy and defense treaties.

Baltics have always been the biggest risk. They are very small population-wise and can be "easily" cut off (Suwalki gap). But the addition of Sweden and Finland to the alliance will significantly improve the defense posture (airfields, maritime logistics).
There are way too many computer scientists coming out of the college pipeline, it'll be very easy for those engineers to pivot to the semiconductor field. Additionally, on the manufacturing side, semiconductors are in principle pretty similar to biotech and biologics pharma maufacturing (many discrete unit operation skids, cleanroom environment, lots of documentation, etc) and i'm seeing lots of automation and manufacturing companies pivoting to semi-conductors.

it won't be 100% efficient, but where the money goes, the talent will follow pretty quickly.

> Please summarise https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/the-race-to-2nm-risc-v-...

But this is my _personal_ takeaway: there are companies building (or trying to) Risc-V cores at advanced geometries. That is somewhat unheard of for a rather new and not-yet popular core. This suggests a lot of momentum for it. It's actually a new Japanese company called "Rapidus" that has some major backers and it's working with Tenstorrent (which has had a lot of buzz over the last couple of years). So it's exciting because a new company is entering the ring, from a new country, and they are benefitting Risc-V which is gaining traction.

There is another article on this here:

> visual programming

25 years ago when I read that Microsoft has a software development environment named "Visual Studio" I imagined, well, something with graphs and nodes and flow and... Well something visual, right? Now it's 2024 and VS is still not visual.

Of course things are not as simple. Flyde (along with many alternatives mentioned) is visual IMHO. Keep up the good work!

Apple is not a monopolist. The judge in the Epic Games suit even said so[0]. It also isn't a public service. It's a private service operated by a private company where you have to pay to play. And part of paying means agreeing to certain terms and conditions before you're allowed access. Violating that agreement is grounds for termination of your access.

Her objections include: "HRW’s initial reactions to the Hamas attacks...included the ‘context’ of ‘apartheid’ and ‘occupation’"

And "political framing that could always contextualize and “explain” why Jewish Israeli lives were lost in Palestinian violence."

It sounds like she wanted their coverage to be more one-sided. Explaining "the ‘context’ of ‘apartheid’ and ‘occupation’" is perfectly valid.
Sweden's problem is that we insist on only selling to the "good guys" (for domestic policy reasons), but everyone who is considered a good guy (e.g. Norway) is already in the F-35 program. So we sell to no-so-good-but-not-terrible guys like Brazil, South Africa, Hungary and Thailand.

His support of Israel is what allows him to pull moves like this, providing more aid to Palestinians than those who more directly support Palestine.
Not that the number isn't absurdly large, but there are a few reasons to think that estimate is about an order of magnitude too high.

The first of which is that Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar all together only have a GDP of about $100 billion. 90% of these scams are run from that region of the world. The second is that these sorts of analyses end up unknowingly including the addresses of so-called "P2P exchangers" i.e. unlicensed but not necessarily entirely black market currency exchanges such as hawaladars. If one of the fraudsters converts their Tether to another currency with one of these exchangers, that address will be labelled as "fraud" even if all of the exchangers other customers are legitimate (informal money transfer systems are used for remittances in a lot of the world). The fact that unofficial exchangers often have business relationships with each other also even further complicates analyses that look solely at on-chain data. Lastly, no existing analysis, including by companies like Chainalysis, even comes close to $75 billion.
> IMO it's still not certain NATO will hold together if Putin decides to attack the Baltic states or Poland.

There is a reason forces of core NATO states farther from the Eastern flank are deployed to Poland and the Baltic states; it is practically impossible for Russia to attack them without attacking the forces of core NATO states, not just in a "legally, under Article 5, we must treat this as an attack" way, but in a "Russian troops are killing troops of those states" way.

It is not. A brand new F-35A costs a bit over 70 million. A new Rafale costs a bit over 100 million.

In terms of operating costs, yes the Rafale is cheaper, mostly because it's not stealth.

The fact that France is spending their money in France helps make up the difference - for France. But if you aren't France, the F-35 is a good deal.
Hopefully that is correct. The pile has been very valuable for open model work. It's a really high quality dataset

WA allows renewal by mail without even stepping into an office.

WA also allows transferring of drivers licenses without additional testing. To me, this is the most problematic part, because different states have different rules around priority, proper usage of the left lane, etc. and WA is a transplant destination, and the resulting mix of driver backgrounds is chaotic. As a general example, in WA pedestrians have priority at all intersections, including where there is no visibly marked crosswalk, but this is not true in all states.

Orban and his team don't work for Hungary. They work for themselves (for a small group around Orban's family), trying to take out as much money and power from every opportunity as they can. This might explain purchasing the gas on higher price (and a huge amount of other controversial deals) and preferring partnerships with corrupt governments and politicians. It's all about business and power.

There exists databases of “the hash of problematic photos” (CSAM), so it seems trivial to search your billions of photos against them before training an AI. You can’t catch everything, but this seems like an obvious miss considering the explicitly tried to scrape pornography.

Looks great on paper, but several things give me pause:

* Rivian expects deliveries to start in 2026, two years from now!

* Rivian expects the R2 will start at $45K. Usually, starting prices are for vehicles with less range, slower acceleration, etc.

* The price for an R2 with max range and acceleration will likely be substantially higher than $45K.

* The R2 will be competing against future updated models from Tesla, BYD, etc. in 2026. Rivian is chasing a moving target.

I actually find "bug" to be the most apt name for it. Their intent was to enable a feature, therefore writing it this way was not an error: it, however, did not take into account all the side-effects.

They did err on the side of caution, to protect the contributor, but when doing so, they did not take into account that it might be abused as well.

Just my two cents.

Discussing cryptographic solutions to denial of service attacks always seem a tad disingenuous. In the MITM model, the attacker is in full control of the communications channel, and can always replace, corrupt or deny packets to either recipient. No amount/quality/degree of cryptography can change this possibility.
All the enforcement won’t matter if the DA continues to release repeat offenders. A tiny minority of people commit a significant proportion of crime in the city, whether they’re detained at the end of a glock or an M4 doesn’t change the long term outcome if they’re back on the streets the next day.
