I expected this to include a discussion on forward secrecy [1], but it doesn’t seem to. (I searched the page for “forward” but got no hit.)

A reasonable tradeoff at the current time may be to keep primary keys / certificates classical, and make session key exchange quantum resistant [2]. That would thwart any “harvest now, decrypt later” adversary. It wouldn’t protect against a man in the middle with a big quantum computer, but that’s not a very realistic threat for the foreseeable future.

Don’t know how much it will bring down the handshake size though.

Talking about how pep 518 makes python packaging a lot easier is actually one of my screening steps. If they can't pretend to be captivated by that, I drop them immediately. I don't care if you're trying to scam me, if you're also learning key peps!

And God help a scammer who ends up in my hands... Because I will definitely teach them python packaging and GitHub build automations for pypi publishing! I am honestly in awe of some of my students' abilities to deal with python BS.

And Poetry? Pip's own Pep 518 compliance ensures we don't need it! We're managing dependencies by hand, `pyproject.toml` style! Woohoo!

Effectively, dehumidifiers reverse the boiling process.

To boil water you've got to add the thermal heat of vapourisation to water, 540 calories/g, or about 2 kJ/g.

To condense water you've got to remove that same quantity of heat. Granted that heat pumps are more efficient than adding pure heat, you're still looking at expending somewhere between 10--20% of the energy removed.

Energy usage also varies with the relative humidity and ambient tempuerature. Remember that both the lower the relative humidity and the lower the ambient temperature the lower the amount of water (absolute humidity) in the air. Dehumidifiers work best when handling hot, humid air, which is not typically where water is in short supply in the first place. Attempting to dehumidify cool dry air, say, in a high-altitude desert, will be exceptionally energy intensive and produce very little output water.

The condensation traps and nets mentioned in TFA work best in very-high-humidity environments. This can be useful, but again the total gains are limited, and the process remains the "un-boiling water" problem.
Excessive debt is not good. Encouraging debt by the effective subsidy of inflation tends to be coupled with varying interest rates to control that inflation, and therefore there are periods of low interest rates. Savvy investors try to borrow heavily during these low interest periods creating a boom, even though the enterprises they might invest in are no more worthy of investment. This is malinvestment, because real physical capital (including skilled labor) becomes reallocated into more risky ventures because of the influx of easy money. When reality returns and it's clear that many of those risks don't pan out, there is upheaval, bankrupcy, layoffs, etc., a "bust". This is a bad thing for economic stability and human happiness.

Debt should not be encouraged nor discouraged. Interest rates should be natural, based on market forces about the time value of money.

Homeowners don't deserve a mortgage subsidy paid via inflation. If there is a subsidy, make it explicit through law.
That it's very hard to avoid (we think in fact impossible), because of the way that Linux _exit(2) works when you have threads, destructors and thread-local storage together. This is even if you are very careful. You should probably read the links I posted.
The binaries you refer to as source of truth are a paid product (not sure if the trial version, which requires filling out a form that's currently not loading, includes all options, or how honest it is to use that to make an alternative to their software, or if the terms allow that) and don't seem to run on my operating system. I guess I could buy me a Windows license and read the pkzip EULA to see if you're allowed to use it for making a clone, but I figured the two decoders (that don't always agree with each other) I had on hand would do. If they agree about a field, it's good enough (and decoders can expect that unspecced fields are garbage)
Lack of data parallelism is implied by computation that is performed.

You gradient descend on your state.

Each step needs to work on up to date state otherwise you're computing gradient descend from state that doesn't exist anymore and your computed gradient descent delta is nonsensical if applied to the most recent state (it was calculated on old one, direction that your computation calculated is now wrong).

You also can't calculate it without having access to the whole state. You have to do full forward and backward pass and mutate weights.

There aren't any ways of slicing and distributing that make sense in terms of efficiency.

The reason is that too much data at too high frequency needs to be mutated and then made readable.

That's also the reason why nvidia is focusing so much on hyper efficient interconnects - because that's the bottleneck.

Computation itself is way ahead of in/out data transfer. Data transfer is the main problem and going in the direction of architecture that dramatically reduces it by several orders of magnitude is just not the way to go.

If somebody solves this problem it'll mean they solved much more interesting problem – because it'll mean you can locally uptrain model and inject this knowledge into bigger one arbitrarily.
> They're right to be angry at their government: freedom of communication is a human right they've had taken away from them.

Freedom of communication is freedom to express oneself for individual humans.
It is not the right for a totalitarian state to promote itself and weaken democracies.

TikTok works completely different in China vs other countries. Outside of China we have to deal with a highly addictive algo that promotes content of extreme right nuts, anti-vaccination hustlers, and content that over paints any negative information about China.

---

Totalitarian states fear their constituents, as they could rise to take their destiny in their own hands. A rule based order and the existence of successful democracies are always a threat to any dictator circle, because their iron fist is fragile.
Russia is already trying to pin this on Ukraine, and doing a very sloppy job at it.

They claim that this van with a Ukrainian license plate was found near the attack. However, they blur out the country part of the plate and the remainder indicates Belarus.

Few Americans have considered the rationality of the GFWC without the context of authoritarianism.

China blocks the internet because 50 years ago the vast majority of the country was illiterate and subsistence farming. You don't wake up one day equipped to critically think about statements that sound good but aren't true. You don't wake up understanding the tragedy of the commons. You don't suddenly have a historical understanding of how your country came to be and the values it was founded upon. You don't wake up having thought about the golden rule or "equality" and matched that to various situations in the zeitgeist. You don't wake up having fully contemplated that others might treat you the same way you treat them. These things come from major investments in public education.

Americans have huge amounts of privilege they aren't even aware they have. We grew up with public education, and don't understand what it means to not have public education, or have a poor literacy rate.

It might surprise many to know that while china does have great power over the GFW they choose not to enforce it for many of their educated and more well off citizens, which is why you can use VPN services to get pretty unfiltered internet within China.

The US is facing a crisis where half the population doesn't understand that in November they are going to vote to lose the right to have a meaningful vote, and so many people here haven't fully contemplated not taking that very very real possibility seriously. "Hoping" that Americans will arrive at the right conclusion is a poor strategy to continue living in a "liberal democracy." Living in a liberal democracy requires more than hope.

We are in the "if you can keep it stage" of "a republic if, you can keep it."

Letting a hostile genocidal foreign power have direct access to our countries most vulnerable and impressionable people, our children, is not good policy, especially when that foreign power has gone to great effort to make sure that what they are doing to us, is not done to them.
This sentiment stems from not being able to distinguish types of inflation.

In the current environment, cost inflation is not a problem anymore. The reason why the FEDs might not lower the interest rate, is because of salary inflation.

So right now you are at advantage working. Houses are flatlining in value due to increased interest rates and you can negotiate better pays with your employer.

Also, please avoid straw men like first time buyers etc. These are not really fitting for the debate and only add load the debate emotionally.

But to take you on your argument: The situation for young working class couples has generally not changed for decades.

(I am Danish, so statistics I know and use are mostly centered around macro dynamics of Denmark, though this is irrelevant for the broader discussion, as the ECB also seeks 2% inflation target)
Nobody said that, RTFA. They're explicitly saying it could be a beneficial policy if applied evenly, but that that it looks like it was only created because one antisemitic person got doxxed. It's not like this is the first time someone's personal details were leaked on Twitter, but it's the first time they did something about it, which is rather suspicious timing given Elon's other actions in recent years.
It's not much different. But programmers tend to assume that static data lives forever and don't always think of this problem.
Might that hint that the problem that is there is that the metric is bad?
I wish I knew how to play that game. It's a game primarily played by the rich, and is part of the reason that the primary losers from inflation are poor.
confirmation bias indeed works that way more often than not: it confirms what you already believe
The problem here is that Tiktok is not merely "promoting totalitarianism", it is actively spying on it's users and sending their data to the Chinese government. Don't you think this warrants a ban?

They crawl all the time, their instances could go down and no problem, there are still hundreds doing the same task. They consume waaaay too much traffic for the cloud to make sense financially.

Hybrid approach is best in cases like this. Use the cloud for client facing interfaces and rent dedicated servers for the spiders.

We use AI for simple tasks and it already pays off. It's not unreliable if you do it right.
Sure, certainly, if it's also the case that all the US apps that are actively spying on their users and selling that data to the US three letter agencies also warrant banning.

From recent reports that's apparently most, if not all, of them.

As a quick follow up query, can Chinese, UK, Australian, etc. companies buy up data on US citizens from brokers? Is that OK, it's probably for business reasons after all .. or friendly five eyes cross border mutual spying to take the stink off.
Even with 0% inflation savings do have inherent costs and risks: you might die before you get to spend them, they might be confiscated by some future dystopian state, or society might just get poorer and the money buys less in the future than it does now.

Most obviously there is the time value of money. Money by itself isn't useful, only the things you can buy with it are. Something today is more useful than the same thing in a year.

Economists often act like none of the above is true. They argue that given an improving world people would just do nothing, hoarding money in the expectation of it being worth more in a year. For as long as I've been alive the 2% target has been justified with this sort of nonsensical circular pop psychology, in which supposedly devaluing savings was required to manipulate the people out of their naturally zombie-like state (which if true would obviously mean the economy wouldn't grow, acting as a negative feedback loop that would then make it immediately untrue again). The existence of counter-examples like Switzerland did not bother any of them. Now we read that this wasn't even the actual source of the number, it was just plucked out of the air and justified retroactively! Not really a surprise given the weakness of the original argument.

I guess you could argue that the "better alcohol" would be something that is as pleasant but without the intoxication, whatever that would be
That's true. When I didn't have internet at home in early 00's I did far more tasks than today.
The thing is today, except for Debian (DVD/BD sets/ISO's), Hyperbola (offline mirroring, the repos are small) and few systems more, working offline seems odd as lots of things depend on fetching software via repos, or documentation, where you can't get that any more for lots of programming languages or software such as MS Office.

But, well, at least systems like 9front have static binaries, so they are easily shareable, and all the documentation it's offline.

And, universally, there's mbsync/msmtp for email, and news spooling via usenet. Sometimes I'd love an NNTP->Usenet bridge, so everything could be done offline from nearly any modern OS since the 90's, and just connect once to answer to all threads.
How do these things play out? Say the CEO wants to fire the CTO, how do they go about engaging consultants for the job? Do they discuss their goal explicitly with the consultants or is there some sort of underhanded language where the consultant team somehow understands why they are being hired?

If you are being explicit, do you risk leaving a paper trail behind which might come back to hurt you? But if you are not explicit, maybe the consultants end up finding out that the CTO is in fact performing really good.
He's not an Arab, he's ethnically Bangladeshi, and that's a common way to spell his name here.
This almost sounds like what Carbon [1] is doing with their 'normal' resin printers. They project images through the bottom of a vat filled with resin. But a special membrane creates a small 'dead zone' where the resin does not cure. This makes continuous printing possible at an almost infinite z / height resolution. I believe they also use this for chemical properties because the small interface is full of oxygen.

Right, companies are extralegal vigilantes fighting against the oppressive governments together with the people.

Are you sure that you are not the delusional one by claiming that this(working with the governments) affects their bottom line? How much money the law abiding government friendly companies lost so far?
Perhaps because most countries do not want to be like China ? You can apply your reasoning to almost any Chinese policy internal or external but that doesn't justify the policy.

Jasmine is phenomenal. Her Bob Graham Round run a few years back was spectacular too.
Even a pretending government sometimes make the right decision, even if the motivation is at best questionable.

The nasty influence of TikTok outside China has been very clear for a long time. This is part of modern warfare, establishment is only really slow to process this fact. Also because of the misplaced idea that a democratic constitution with a rule of law is something that magically was always there and will forever be there, even if we sit passively down and see people rising that promise to break that constitution down.
This is exactly why KLoC is not a good measurement. If you know about this, you will make sure you match everyone else by embellishing your line count with comments, copy and rename functions or extra deep nesting. The manager will still not know anything without looking at everyones code.

Yeah, it angers me to hear people argue that inflation is good because it encourages people to invest instead of hoarding cash.

1. It's your money, so it's not for others to control.

2. You may have a good reason for keeping money under your mattress. For example, you're poor and inexperienced with investing and have heard how people lose their shirts if they don't know what they're doing. There is a lot of complexity to investing, and scary contracts and qualifiers, and then you find out that you don't really own clear title to the stocks you've bought, and hear stories that brokerage firms transfer stock that they don't even have, but will protect favored rich clients if push comes to shove.

3. Maybe there's real risk in the economy, so recklessly investing despite that danger shouldn't be forced one someone with the threat of stealing value.

4. The rich can afford advisors who will help them invest so that they don't have to hold onto inflating cash, and know of ways to preserve value. Only the poor have a sizeable portion of their wealth in cash.

TikTok bans in India and US are very different.

India did it as a kneejerk response to the Doklam border incident of 2020. When you don't intend a full scale war,the other recourse is to hurt China economically. I distinctly remember the wave that followed of boycotting Chinese goods as much as possible. TikTok is the outcome of that.

While it doesn't do much politically, the ban was to hurt Bytedance. When 80-100 million people go dark on a certain social media platform, those numbers don't look good. When Bytedance wants MAU stats to leverage against the next expansion loans or merger (possibly), this could hurt them. Or simply revenue from ads. With the US it is pure political influence on the sly which the government is afraid of. Indians are tough audience to sway that way from my experience.
Remember reading about a former NASA engineer who designed large clay pots that extracted water moisture by condensation and collected it for drinking. He especially made sure that the material used was local and the construction methods didn't require any specialized equipment nor electricity.

The target were some of the harder hit (in terms of draught) places in Africa.

Internet search is failing me atm.
What does any of this have to do with TikTok? I've looked over my daughter's shoulder at what she's watching on TikTok. It's mostly silly kids doing silly dances to silly music. Not my cup of tea, but not exactly election-manipulation. What are they "doing to us" specifically?
