The risk here isn't that your snooping boss feels a bit uncomfortable.

The risk is that your snooping boss now thinks they'd better not send you on that expensive training course or assign you that big, important project where success could get you promoted. And that you'll never get a chance to address their fears, as they want to keep the snooping secret.

But... It was a misogynistic harassment campaign. Some maybe well-meaning useful idiots also hitched their horse to it (and most have not even been tarnished by it), but that was the main thrust of that adventure.

Is Wikipedia supposed to describe World War II as a 'small disagreement over national borders and ethnic purity', lest it be accused of partiality? A spade's a spade, a war's a war, a harassment campaign is... A harassment campaign.

I found that conversation to be straight up chilling.

In the end, personally, it's about whether or not I am willing to use passkeys. If I am not willing to use them, I certainly am not willing to recommend that others do so.

To use passkeys already means giving up quite a lot. That's not necessarily a showstopper, if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Personally, right now, it's not an easy call at all.

The attestation issue, as well as the sentiments expressed in the github thread, don't exactly help.

I picked those projects because they were high-profile. But I'll give you another example that I am intimately involved with.

Take the software/web accessibility remediation mess where universities and companies are being sued left and right for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) violations. These organizations know the real threat of legal liabilities, make projects to improve accessibility of their products (web sites, etc.), and routinely blow up their project timelines only to start with new projects. So the concept of "deadlines are real and have consequences" firmly applies here. Yet, NONE of these projects are completed on time. There are many reason for these project failures, but my original argument still stands in this case: "Estimating in the second type of environment is also bogus".
It’s worse and deeper than you’d want to know. That said most HR Tech companies and large corporate HR departments are incompetent so it’s not really as scary in practice as it sounds.

That's an incredibly interesting thing in my opinion. Even if we send colony ships now, the odds of them arriving to a planet thousands years later that is already inhabited by humans or human descendents because our technology evolved over that time it non zero. Combined with relative time it gets even more weirder, because an almost-lightspeed ship we'd send could be surpassed by something much more advanced in a matter of days (spaceship time). So when do we send ships? I think there's a Kurzgesagt video about this somewhere
this type of person is exactly who we try to identify for staff and higher roles. They could be 20% or even 50% more productive as an individual, but if they raise everyone's game even 2% across 50 or more people they are producing far more value. The reality is they crush fewer tickets individually, and that's a good thing, but it gets perverted by a purely metrics-driven assessment.

> Age-adjusted rates of firearm homicide are highest in Washington, DC and lowest in New Hampshire.

Washington DC having some of the strictest (if not the most strict) gun laws in the nation, and New Hampshire being a gun rights haven smack dab in the middle of a bunch of states with harsh gun laws. With permitless carry.

Almost like the denser the population, the less regard people have for each others' lives.

Also, I will never understand the argument of "people meet unfortunate demises, thus the rest of us forfeit our right to defend ourselves with the most effective means." It's not something that's debatable to me. Death is an unfortunate reality, and it will never be fixed, no matter how many layers of authoritarian bloat you pile onto it. Let's work on fixing our moral decay instead.
It does sometimes feel like we're missing out on these "reasonable company with reasonable expectations" type businesses and funding and crashing a ton of companies that would otherwise maybe live on reasonably?

Nanos yes, but Unikernel no. I think it started 2013? But your point still stands.
Its distinguishing feature is rewind, which was present in the final build of zsnes, which, to quote Nerrel, is an emulator from the f*cking Clinton presidency.
Yes, dunking bird style evaporation engines are among the lowest efficiency kinds of evaporation engine. One of the big reasons for this is that the process is using evaporation to create a temperature difference where the cold is generated at the same place the evaporation occurs. Evaporation works better when it is hot. This is a negative feedback which reduces the effectiveness of the system.

Fresh water is not a strict requirement for most evaporation engines. It is the low efficiency which drives that. In theory, the osmotic energy difference between fresh water and sea water is much smaller than the energy obtainable from the evaporation process. After all, seawater is observed to evaporate! However, when your efficiency is under 1%, even a low additional cost becomes a big one.

IIRC, Carlson, from ref 1 in the energy tower article (I remember adding that reference to Wikipedia in 2006!) had a design which used a Stirling engine running off an evaporation generated temperature difference which had the same negative feedback problem. There are other designs, like the piston-based one which Barton worked on before pivoting to a co-generation system (Hmm, that seems to have fallen down the Wikipedia memory hole - https://handwiki.org/wiki/Physics:Barton_evaporation_engine ).

Efficiency is always the big challenge for evaporation engines, but the strict thermodynamic limits are much higher than any current design. This means that there is a lot of room to improve! One of these days I'll write a paper on that.
Same. The best people I ever worked with were grumpy graybeards (in spirit if not physically). Brusque is the kindest way to describe them. If you knew your shit, or at least demonstrated that you had exhausted your knowledge, they would help you.

That said, it isn’t _required_ for you to be a jerk; I’ve also worked with incredibly talented people who were generally kind. But they did not go out of their way to network and schmooze. IME, people who are concerned with what others think of them are the least accomplished.
> isn't this 'everything is identical' model fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics?

No, quite the opposite, actually. Some particles being identical is core to many quantum mechanical ideas. The distinction between Bosons and Fermions fundamentally relies on this idea.

Also, it probably isn’t true that all electrons have individual well-defined paths through spacetime.

Electrons are Fermions.

When two electrons are “in orbit” around a helium nucleus, with the atom including the electrons being in the lowest energy state, the two electrons are orbitals distinguished by their spin, but, at least if it were not for the interaction with the magnetic interaction from the spin of the nucleus, you could choose any axis along which to consider the spin direction of the electrons, and like, you would get for each of the two spin directions along that axis, one of the electrons would have its spin in that direction. But considering different axiis for the spin, you would be splitting the two up in different ways?

I’m fairly confident it isn’t possible to assign a consistent id for each electron which persists through time. (Even setting aside the “they don’t have well-defined positions” aspect)
A future simple linux-like (or unix-like) OS -- could theoretically be created with only 4 syscalls:

open()
read()
write()
close()

Such a theoretical linux-like or unix-like OS would assume quite literally that "everything is a file" -- including the ability to perform all other syscall/API calls/functions via special system files, probably located in /proc and/or /sys and/or other special directories, as other posters have previously alluded to...

Also, these 4 syscalls could theoretically be combined into a single syscall -- something like (I'll use a Pascal-like syntax here because it will read easier):

FileHandleOrResult = OpenOrReadOrWriteOrClose(FileHandle: Integer; Mode: Integer; pData: Pointer; pDataLen: Integer);

if Mode = 1 then open();

if Mode = 2 then read();

if Mode = 3 then write();

if Mode = 4 then close();

FileHandle is the handle for the file IF we have one; that's for read() write() and close() -- for open() it could be -1, or whatever...

Mode is the mode, as previously enumerated.

pData is a pointer to a pre-allocated data buffer, the data to read or write, or the full filename when opening...

(And of course, the OS could overwrite it with text strings of any error messages that occur... if errors should occur...)

pDataLen is the size of that buffer in bytes.

When the Mode is open(), pData contains a string of the path and file to open.

When Mode is read(), pData is read to, that is, overwritten.

When Mode is write(), pData is used to write from.

All in all, pretty simple, pretty straightforward...

A "one syscall Linux or Unix (or Linux-like or Unix-like) operating system", if you will... for simplicity and understanding!

> "You updated your linkedIn so I am going to fire you"

You might be close to quitting (via perceived signal) so I’m going to give the high visibility project to someone “loyal”.

You may be perceived as a quitter so I’m going to give discretionary budget for the next raise to the employee who is more loyal.

You might be perceived as quitting, and my company requires me to stack rank employees. The lowest gets fired. I put you there to keep the rest of my team. You become a “sacrifice” since you were going to quit anyways.

And these are just the examples my friends at Amazon talk about. I’m sure there’s more.

Now consider all of the above, but now you’re on a visa. Losing your job means you have a few weeks to replace it or get deported.
Those points aren't contradictory. C++ is actually so terrible that

1. They're underreporting CVEs as of today. You acknowledge that a CVE should have been filed for the FS issue but it wasn't. I say it wasn't because the community has a cavalier attitude towards security and they didn't think it was worthy of a CVE. Nothing you've said contradicts this

2. Herb Sutter argues that there should be more control over what CVEs are filed because he's not happy with the ones being filed today, which may merely be bugs and not vulnerabilities. This may make the situation worse, with even fewer CVEs being filed. That's juking the stats.

Herb does acknowledge that CVEs aren't ideal, but the entire article is based on getting the number of CVEs in C++ down to a level comparable with Rust. He wouldn't have set that as a goal if he truly thought CVEs were meaningless.

By the way, I'm still waiting on the link for the fix in MSVC. Or did you give up on it because you saw steveklabnik's comment where he links to an MSVC maintainer saying there's no point fixing it in MSVC without changing the spec? (https://old.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/151cnlc/a_safety_cultu...).

> something you made up entirely, as you eventually reluctantly admitted

I didn't make up anything, nor did I admit anything. My information was outdated, and I said I was wrong. You're accusing me of lying when I didn't, which make it hard to interact with you.

I say only this. Don't harp on a mistake I made and admitted to, and instead address the substance of what I said.

1. CVEs between languages aren't comparable (you don't dispute this).

2. C++ community should have filed CVEs for this issue but didn't (you don't dispute this).

3. The lack of CVEs indicates that they have a much lower standard for security.
As a senior manager I worked closely with a VP of engineering on the engineering culture - one of the expected outcome was the improvement of our Glassdoor company rating. But my VP (and probably the leadership) wanted to go fast. So my VP was in touch with someone at Glassdoor and had a way to 'tweak' or remove unpleasant reviews. I don't know the details but if there is definitely a way for companies to do that despite Glassdoor claiming that reviews can't be removed.

Your frustration is understandable, particularly in this situation where the critical failures weren’t the fault of outsourced engineers.

But we really need to pump the brakes on the whole “everything must be in the passive voice and overly euphemized to the point of nigh-incomprehensibility”. If anything, it contributes to the click-bait problem.

I see: “Boeing outsourced to $9/hr SWE” and immediately start thinking about a dangerous corporate culture that prioritizes profits over lives. I’d argue most people probably interpret the headline in a similar fashion.

Just because some already-inclined reactionaries wrongly jump to “India lol” doesn’t mean the publication has some moral responsibility to contort the headline into something less effective that will get even more dramatically outcompeted by click bait headlines that actually bait racists (“Deadly Boeing crash was running Indian software”).

Since matter is basically precipitated energy from the near infinite energies released by the Big Bang, makes sense to me that it has fairly high amounts of energy compacted.

If nothing else, nuclear bombs made this blindingly obvious.
To clarify:

1. Gemini and Firefly are programmed (by a prompt) to give you "inclusive" results when you ask for depictions of people. So if you ask it to generate a crowd of people, while normally the AI could generate mostly or purely white crowd (perhaps because white people dominated the training dataset), with such a prompt it will try to give you people of both genders and all races.

2. Because of the above, in some context where you would expect only white people, for example the founding fathers of USA, it also depicts people of various races and genders. This is historically inaccurate and produces a lot of controversy, especially in times, when doing the reverse, depicting a historically non-white person as white, usually leads to some kind of outrage. And so such behavior is put to the same category as e.g. claiming "you can't be racist against white people".

3. And as a result, many people decide to "fight back" by trolling the creators of the tool, using the bias where instead of being negative towards white people, it is negative towards other people. So instead of taking positive figures like the founding fathers, you ask AI to generate depictions of evil people, who historically were white. Now the groups who claim "you can't be racist against white people" suddenly care about the historical inaccuracy. The trolls turn their enemies against each-other.

4. Your example with making the black nazis image manually misses an important point: the prompt used wasn't "a picture of black German soldiers in 1945". It was "a picture of German soldiers in 1945". If you ask an artist to draw you an artwork, which you describe as the latter, and he creates a picture of black soldiers, I think you just wouldn't pay and consider the contract to not be fulfilled.

This doesn't pass the smell test. For constant light the satellites would need to be in something like geosynchronous orbits, which is "very far away"(tm). Closer in and you'd need Starlink 2.0 quantities to get coverage.

Even then, the size of the orbiting reflector would need to be absolutely gargantuan to reflect enough sunlight to be useful.

No quite; even if 1st and 2nd stages deliver cargo to orbit cheaper than competition, you still has to make sure there is enough demand to pay back the cost of Starship creation. That demand may require not just being cheaper, but to being substantially cheaper than competition, to enable additional uses.

What SpaceX is doing with Starlink reminds of the situation with early versions of Windows, when, as Bill Gates described, the industry wasn't keen to produce applications for it. So Microsoft started writing Word and Excel in house. Similarly, SpaceX created Starlink which needs lots of launches, and which couldn't exist with previous level of launch prices, but is able to make profits if the prices are as low as SpaceX can provide.
