Clasic Visual Basic 6 is very old, like 30 years old!!! I still have the CD stored somewhere. It's geting harder and harder to install because it ask for Java 4 (exactly) and has a 16 bit installer. I don't recomend it for newcomers. (There is an "unoficial" installer that fix all the problems, but I never tried it.) Also, people make fun of you because it has "basic" in the name and they remember the old unestructured version of "basic". Anyway, for small apps that look nice enough and have two buttons and everyone can use, I still love VB6.

(Now I'm using mostly Racket, but the syntax is too strange if the parent doesn't use it. I recomend to start with Python and save a few parenthesis for later when the kid get enlighted.)
I was thinking the same. The STaR paper this is an extension of came out in 2022, so at least possible this is what q-star is based on too, but maybe with Q standing for something else.

The move is from 25/3 to 100/20. That uplink change is a big jump for sure.

Nothing in the press release about latency or jitter though.

(Corrected uplink; thanks @Thorrez!)
It may also be that a neutral switch already exists to lock out the starter (as opposed to only being an indicator). Adding an indicator for a sensor that’s already present is cheaper/easier/higher RoI than sensing plus indicating.
Ye we are leaping into over automation by now. Fragile centralized systems etc. No backup processes.

There is this new movie about it. It is quite good, but I don't remember the name. Where the ship drives up on the beach.

I honestly think there need to be a "no internet" friday and weekend every year. With the whole internet connectivity closed down to test redundancies.
We’re all copycats. Trying too hard to be unique will most likely just cause stagnation.
I do not care AT ALL. The real numbers are actually horrible enough. We can see the footage of them destroying everything, killing everyone. They literally killed a guy holding up a white flag, I have seen the video! So what is the point of them even supposedly faking numbers? I detest this headline on its own, I won't read it. And even if they make up a few more then actually die, this really does not change a single thing for me. I know I am on the right side on this one.
Good. It seems the only way to get internet providers to do the right thing is to make it mandatory by law. We tried the carrot and now they should get the stick.

Isn't that exactly what this article is advocating for? Its just getting to Least Privilege in a much less painful way than is common.
Low-Cost Modular Bio-Inspired Electric-Pneumatic Actuator Legged Robots
Temporary Privileges is an example of security theater. It does not change the attack surface in a threat model because the model is not temporal. Has anyone ever shown a practical evidence that the attacker will face a problem waiting for the elevated permissions to support this idea?

And if you still really want to do that, you don't need AWS roles as a separate concept for this. You can just use temporary membership in groups.

AWS IAM model is overcomplicated compared to GCP/Azure.

It has to start somewhere, and for many of us, that somewhere is in individual decisions.

Interacting with Amazon is increasingly feeling like being worked over by a seedy breed of con artist. I just missed a good price (circa 25% off the normal price) because -- best guess -- a driver failed to deliver and now my order is stuck in their "running late" limbo that will see it eventually cancelled. It's hardly the first time, exactly this scenario of an abnormally good price effectively lost, and no call to customer service can fix it. In fact, the driver missed the delivery story is the explanation I've read somewhere, but the unerring correspondence with very favorable pricing leaves me feeling suspicious.

I commend your decision, and your awareness of its impact.
Meanwhile, to my knowledge, ATT is actively pulling all existing DSL service with the only hard line alternative in many markets being a 1Mbps “UVerse” connection over the same copper phone lines. My 6Mbps DSL was suddenly turned into a 1Mbps UVerse line last year, with no warning. This has been happening to my neighbors as well. In some instances, after a big storm knocked out phone lines, ATT took the opportunity to cancel some folks DSL lines under their new policies. If you go to the ATT DSL page you will see that it is no longer being offered as a service.

Fortunately we were able to get Starlink soon after but it’s not a perfect replacement, particularly for gaming, due to the periods of short downtimes we still experience.

> keep in mind that car navigation will snap your position to roads.

Right. I chose driving as an example because someone navigating a city on foot could conceivably do it with low-precision signals like wifi. They can stop and wait for a better signal, or carefully study the map comparing it to street signs; a fix that puts them on the right block and that only updates once or twice per block is adequate, if not good.

Whereas turn-by-turn navigation is able to tell the driver "take the next right" 3 seconds before the turn - which shows the signal is being tracked precisely and regularly.

> For a better comparison, try e.g. Google Maps in pedestrian or bicycle navigation mode.

If you're into sports, take a look on Strava at people doing things like big city marathons: https://www.strava.com/activities/8078299417 https://www.strava.com/activities/51910242 where of course the positions aren't snapped to roads.

You'll see minor hiccups from time to time - but despite navigating between many tall buildings, you won't see errors of hundreds of miles.
> Standard of 100Mbps down and 20Mbps up

Still only 20 up? Moving from 300/10 on cable to 300/300 on fiber has been huge. You can’t realistically use offsite backup on 10 or 20mbps up. Uploading a YouTube video can take an hour. I once sent a dataset to a coworker and it was embarrassing when they’re receiving at 10mbps. Being a tech worker with a stone-age connection…
I'm a foreigner, nobody cares about that.

somewhat related: at one job that was working with GPL software, i managed to get them to add a provision into my contract that stated that all code i wrote at the company would be published under the GPL. that way the company still owned my code but i would be allowed to take it and reuse it, and potentially do what your teammate did.

> I don't, but if I did, and I chose to lie about it, random Chinese parents would never know the difference. (Though entering China might have been a challenge.) Why ask?

I think you'd be surprised how many people are really bad at lying; or even bad at acting normal when they think they have something to hide, particularly when asked such a question unexpectedly. Sure, some people with a criminal record may be able to lie plausibly when put on the spot, but there are a reasonable number who would give themselves away even if denying it. No real cost, some benefit, so why not ask?
> Having upload as such a small fraction of the download can be a pain sometimes.

I pay for 900 megabits and get 20. Upload, of course.

None of the other plans even offer upload speeds this high - so not only does paying for 900 get you only 20, but to get only 20 you have to pay for 900. That's nuts.

I beg to differ. Plenty of Berlin techno is a descendant of Detroit techno. The fact that you only mentioned Chicago already shows a lack of understanding. Kraftwerk and the others you mentioned influenced Detroit techno pioneers, Detroit techno pioneers influenced Berlin techno pioneers. It's a transatlantic sound.

> But a priori, you'd expect someone studying honestly to personally care about honestly, and thus to be less likely to give in to these sorts of pressures.

I'm not so sure you can automatically assume this. You can definitely assume that the subject interests them.

But it's also possible that someone studying honesty/dishonesty might start seeing the subject in academic/technical terms instead of moral terms. Which may give them much less of a disincentive to be dishonest than the average person.

Which is to say that repeated studying and analysis of instances where people are dishonest may break down the gut reaction people have to being dishonest.
Did they even host video and image content originally though? Vaguely remember such content was only available through external links. I think that would be a good compromise. Make it free/paid by donations/subscriptions and only host cheap text.
> Temporary Privileges is an example of a security theater. It does not change the attack surface in a threat model because it's not temporal. Has anyone ever shown a practical evidence to support this idea?

I agree. I think the benefit of this is quite low. If someone takes over your machine, things are lost anyways. If they take over your machine but for some reason cannot access your password manager (or so) or your 2fa to increase priviledges, you at least gain some time before the attack happens since the attacker has to wait - but it's not a major win.

The only case where this really helps is if the attacker gains only temporary access to you (maybe a temporary vulnerability in the browser) but can't "persist" it. In that case, you can reduce the blast radius.

I would dispute at least "The Name of the Rose", I'd say it's just a multi layered story.

A good portion of the book are philosophical discussions, which would be IMHO very boring and not understandable for small children.

The magic of novels like Svejk or Little Prince is that those extra layers are mostly implied, emergent, they're not written out explicitly and thus don't bore out the young readers.

Those are urban areas. If you instead count by city limits, Berlin is bigger by a large margin [1]. This is the perpetual problem with defining "biggest" - to some the urban area of Paris might still be "Paris" but the vast majority of it is outside the city limits.

> But a priori, you'd expect someone studying honestly to personally care about honestly

But then, why study honesty if you already know what it is?

For me, this sort of thing - an honesty expert - is in the same realm as 'ethics panels'.

These folk are there to abuse edge case arguments (think "trolley problem") in order to provide moral cover for corporations to act dishonestly, unethically. And they will provide documentation in support. CEOs will just do what they wanted, but call it "moral" tm.

This readme does a really poor job of explaining what the improvement is or how they drop half the multiplications. What is the Big O run time on this? Is this shifting the known best bounds?

And the diagrams are chaotic and don't really explain anything about why this approach is fast or good. The result is that I'm reluctant to even click-through to the PDF.

If you want to improve the project credibility please consider being honest and open about what is actually going on and giving some clear explanations and illustrations, rather than things that may as well be designed to hype people too busy to tell you that you are cranks. It's hard to tell if this is incredibly groundbreaking or just but nothingburger. Sadly I almost feel like that must be an intentional decision motivated by poor merits of work and a desire to exploit AI height. The alternative - which I prefer to believe is the case - is that the author simply needs to revise and better contextualize.
I think what I'm holding in such high regard is the meager resources and lack of experience caused the development to stick very close to first principles.

Sure, but at the same time if it's not included on distributions and not updated by upstream it's likely to have compatibility issues relatively quickly (GTK is particularly bad at maintaining compatibility between versions, even point releases).

Also code not being updated is something, TLS certificate not being renewed is in an other league in terms of lack of support of the project.
> Thus expected lifetime quickly becomes long enough that it's effectively not an issue for CPUs and GPUs if you provide sufficient cooling.

Both yes and no.

I still have an old AMD Athlon XP system, which works at 2200MHz (200x11), which is completely out of spec for that generation of AMD systems (2200MHz parts had 166MHz bus), and it still performs as on day one since it's not overclocked and cooled well.

On the other hand, we change parts which fry because they feel like it even they are not even close to their thermal limits, because they're kept in well cooled data center.

Sometimes, things go bzzt even without extreme heat. It's really interesting. Something is working at full throttle with no problems, you update a couple of things, reboot, and the device is gone for good.

You should consider focusing on intercepting network requests. Most if not all sites I scrape end up fetching data from some api.

I quite like the way JupyterHub deals with scopes¹ via roles²:

You create a role called "cleanup user servers", which requires a scope of "read:users" and "admin:server"³ (i.e. a role is bundle of scopes), and then define the services that role has, such as "garbage-collect".

You then generate a new service that names "garbage-collect", and associate an API key with it, and boom, that API key has the permissions to read user metrics, and administer the servers and is tied to a specific service.

Want to add another service to that role (e.g. "berate-users")? Just add it as a service in that role definition, and you can use the exact same API key.
