I always wondered why people would ask to analyse the chances of a coinflip during logical interviews, according to you, after 2 flips you have both result happening? Its not like that, if you have 1 in 100 chances of making it, each time you re try you have a 1 in 100 chances
The parent made the comment that broadcast media is necessary for the proper functioning of civic society.

Which seems like a very strong claim.
So in that case he might as well show lottery winners as good role models.

He could tell the truth instead about how most startups fail miserably and the founders see nothing.

Not to mention that the only way this works is if you have parents as a financial back stop.
People who fake understanding by creating an ad hoc internal model to sound like an expert often get a lot of things right. You catch such people by asking more complex questions, and then you often get extremely alien responses that no sane person would say if they understood. And yes, LLMs give such responses all the time, every single one of them, none of them really understands much, they have memorized a ton of things and have some ad hoc flows to get through simple problems, but they don't seem to really understand much at all.

Humans who just try to sound like an expert also make similar alien mistakes as LLMs do, so I think since we say such humans don't learn to understand we can also say that such models don't learn to understand. You don't become an expert by trying to sound like an expert. These models are trained to sound like experts, so we should expect them to be more like such humans rather than the humans who become experts.
Let's hope they find a sustainable business model, because the people working there needs salaries and hosting needs paying...
I completely disagree with you: reusing private keys is an enormous vulnerability. It's really important to rotate them.

It's very easy to avoid the pitfall you mentioned by having multiple valid certs with different expiry dates. You can easily use multiple CAs.

Done your way, a single leaked private key means your entire site is compromised indefinitely. That's unacceptable to me.

I'm working in vue, and get lost at the transition between my code and the framework stuff, when an error "falls through the cracks", and the call stack comes from the framework. What do you do for that, even?
Without getting into what it means to "trust" Woit or anyone else, whether we're talking about specialists or domain outsiders like myself: if experts disagree, it's up to them to explain why. I can't guess why their superior knowledge has led them to reject the line of argument unless they tell me.
I've done some work with salesforce integrations and from my perspective, the pain comes in when trying to keep a bi-directional link between data in the CRM and data in the custom backend systems. At least in my case, there is a desire for a low latency sync so that the two data sources are as similar as possible.

Salesforce, with its batch loads, open api spec, soap/rest api and 'use mulesoft' approach makes this pretty painful, and quite expensive.

The dream, at least among folks I work with, is for a single pane of glass where salesforce provide contact and case management, and the internal systems provide a source of truth and the apis or screens to fix problems or complete tasks

So what would be the recommended way to protect against government MitM by using some obscure CA?
That would mostly benefit the monitoring services, and still leave each individual customer on the hook to fix the issues this caused for them.

"free credit monitoring" should not be a considered a valid solution to "oops we leaked your private data".

Another Youtuber called "Omi in a Hellcat" - he owned properties and a large collection of nice cars which he parked outside his large McMansion and had a IPTV solution he sold via Firesticks.

The Feds eventually arrested him and took all his assets as restitution, and he got a 5 years sentence.

Ignorance of the law is no defense as he found out.

Don't be deflated - it is not a negative statement on you. For most people, going the startup route is bad advice. Older people know that and take much more care to set up safety nets for themselves before going into the VC world. I don't want to go so far to say that YC & PC are exploiting the naivety of youth... but they certainly know which demographics will embrace the risk vs. which will not, and they speak accordingly.
Many people seem to survive 7 hours of advice on how to write properly, solve math problems, and understand history and science for 175 days a year over 12 of their most impressionable years without thinking any of those things are important.

It has been a difficult adjustment that has taken months. I've had neck and shoulder pain while learning to use it. It sure isn't for everyone.

Be lazy like me. $400 will get you 2x16GB drives and a 2-bay Synology NAS. Tell it to mirror the drives to each other and keep history. The defaults are fine. Then mirror the most important files with it's cloud sync function (GDrive, etc). This is in case your house burns down. I know you dislike "online" but the fact is cloud datacenters have pretty good redundancy. Plug external drives into the USB ports for unimportant and replaceable files. Meditate with idea that you don't actually need to organize anything since the NAS will index it all so you can search. Call it a day.
Giving people this information may get people to quit, maybe, instead of having to fire them or lay them off.

> where your parents are professors

There is always an excuse. The parents are professors, or upper middle class dentists, or your mom does charity for United Way and managed to become the leader of the charitable organization and managed to meet some exec from IBM. Given how diverse these professions are and that they basically describe a slightly upper middle class family, im gonna guess their children account for more than 1%.
The particular conditions which lead to Japanese "stagflation" are complicated and somewhat beyond me (and, seemingly, Japanese policymakers), but the basic operation of trying to cut interest rates to raise inflation and raise interest rates to cut inflation is something that should work across all normal-looking market economies. It did take a long time to take effect in Japan, probably because the model would require negative rates and works less well in that region.
That was just a silly little example of how if someone saves $24 per week over the course of a lifetime it can expand into great sums of money through the miracle of matching and compound interest.

And that was at 7% returns. Over the last 50 years the market has averaged 11% so if half a century ago (let's pretend 401ks are that old they're only 46 years old) an 18-year-old entry level worker emptied trash cans at an amusement park that had a 401k with employer match for 50 years they would have a vast sum of money today.

There are some people who cannot afford to save 4% of their income.

There are so few people who can genuinely not afford to save 4% of their (pre-tax) income that they are irrelevant to discussions about retirement saving.

Serious question: is it a testable hypothesis?

If it's not possible to verify that the system is fulfilling its purpose, and if the general consensus is that it doesn't fulfill its purpose, then what do we get out of saying that "encouraging inventors to publish their work" is it's purpose? It feels like it's mass self-delusion at that point, and for who?
I didn’t know anything was degraded (I’m not the one doing tooling decisions in my org. There were some emails about dev mode, but nothing that really highlighted any impact/changes) until a developer reached out to me a couple weeks ago and wanted to know the names of a couple of icons, colors, etc.

The changes were a clear step backwards and this change shows some real pettiness. I guess if you’re on top, money is better than goodwill. Seems like they’re turning the monetization to 11 now after investors couldn’t cash out with Adobe. Let’s not forget that it was Adobe that ultimately called it off.
I did! Thank you.
For a while there I had high hopes that one could pull in Java libraries via their JVM interop on top of the Common Language Runtime, but it doesn't seem to have caught on and I'm not in that ecosystem enough to know why. But yes, for the many excellent reasons you cited it means the library ecosystem is nowhere near that of the JVM, and thus I haven't once considered .net for a new project regardless of how much I love C# the language. Well, that, and my experience with the observability and introspection components of the JVM are second to none
Not to mention numerous competitors with billions of dollars to burn "outcompeting" startups, with political and other ties if that fails. It's a great story though.
Agreed, but that's what I've noticed. Not necessarily degrading them, but snapping back or saying rude things like 'I just told you 5 minutes ago..'

If someone tried that with the guy who ran our calls, they'd get a very public dressing down if not worse.
Yes, definitely. Thanks for motivating me to improve the documentation!

If the question wasn't being asked in a professional context you could request for the other party to say a slur as validation, since existing LLMs usually refuse to say slurs and will even lecture you for asking such a thing. Admittedly, this form of validation has very limited utility and it's mostly meant as a joke.
Great question. Would love to know more about this from those with experience.
IIRC, back when it was text, you were shown two words and could type anything for one of the words (typically the easier to read word) and the other word would be a word they’d intentionally blurred a bit to use for the actual captcha check.

> A survey of 5,458 Americans that Bentley University recently conducted with Gallup shows that your own employees’ answers — their attitudes and expectations — might vary widely depending on the generational cohort.

> Everyone wants a four-day workweek. The survey asked what actions employers could take to increase employees’ well-being. The No. 1 answer was to offer a four-day 40-hour workweek in place of a five-day 40-hour workweek. Overall, 77% of respondents said this would improve their well-being. But among younger workers ages 18 to 29, a whopping 82% favored a shorter workweek.

> That finding was presented to a group of 25 CEOs, none of whom saw a four-day workweek as viable. However, some companies that have participated in experiments with four-day 32-hour workweeks have seen good results for well-being and productivity and have made the change permanent. Older executives might not see employee wellness quite the same way as younger employees — and leaders who figure out how to successfully manage in ways that better support well-being might have a recruitment edge.

Like remote work, even in the face of data, the 4 week workweek is considered "unviable." But it eventually will be as those in positions of leadership and power retire or age out. Make change where you can, otherwise, hold fast.

> I always assumed 'exploitation' meant forcing people to do things they didn't want to do.

From https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/exploita...

exploitation noun [U] (UNFAIR TREATMENT)

the act of using someone or something unfairly for your own advantage:

exploitation of Marx wrote about the exploitation of the workers.

We want to put a stop to the exploitation of children by adults.

The exploitation of fear is an effective means of manipulation.

These people are the victims of reality TV exploitation.
The root (/) is a disk image/APFS snapshot. Apple didn't delete anything... their update replaced that image that you are booting from, which is supposed to be read-only.

/dev/disk3s3s1 on / (apfs, sealed, local, read-only, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk3s6 on /System/Volumes/VM (apfs, local, noexec, journaled, noatime, nobrowse)
/dev/disk3s4 on /System/Volumes/Preboot (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse)

/dev/disk3s1 on /System/Volumes/Data (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse, protect, root data)
map auto_home on /System/Volumes/Data/home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)

Stuff that is located on /System/Volumes/Data is on a non-readonly disk and will not be touched by any updates. You can see folders in /System/Volumes/Data that are also in / and there is some magic overlay that maps certain folders to /System/Volumes/Data automatically. So that files in /usr/local/ are actually stored in /System/Volumes/Data/usr/local.

> Also those two statements are not mutually exclusive.

> Errors in statistical models being called hallucinations in the past does not mean that term is not marketing speak for what I said earlier.

The implicit claim was that they call this hallucination because it sounds better. In other words that some marketing people thought "what's a nicer word for 'mistakes'?" That is categorically untrue.

I don't think there's any point arguing about whether or not the marketers like the use of the word "hallucinate" because neither of us has any evidence either way. Though I was also say the null hypothesis is that they're just using the standard word for it. So the onus is on you to provide some evidence that marketers came in an said "guys, make sure you say 'hallucinate'". Which I'm 99% sure has never happened.
Exactly. Too many people still act as if everything had already been discovered, was known and fully understood.

And as a result, new findings or solutions are often ignored, instead of used for the benefit of all.
That's a fair point, things are relatively stable in the US compared to a lot of places. However, it does preclude labor and savings as a path to Financial Security.

That makes them sound a bit more predatory than the reality of it but I get what you mean. When you're younger, by definition, you've got more shots on goal, you don't have other responsibilities (mortgage, kids, partners etc.) so you can take more riskier decisions, and you more have to rely on first principle thinking instead of experience (because you don't have any).

Saying that, I would like to see the advice for higher age ranges as I have a feeling more successful startups tend to be around there.
I agree, and the reason is housing. If housing in this country wasn't fucked up I think it would be possible. As of now, to do this as a janitor you would need to live with roommates or family. You would also need to avoid smoking, alcohol, gambling, and any other money sinks. Then you would need to invest all your savings for years.

Blockchain and Smart Manufacturing
is sweeping across industries, but with progress comes the risk of errors and inefficiencies. There is a big disconnect between the data transfer that happens between the OT and the IT. I believe it will take at least a couple of decades to bridge this gap and become completely autonomous. Till that time, I believe there will be challenges in the integration.

-?

There were similar challenges in the traditional manufacturing process where the order of the operation was not properly followed. The Japanese technique of Poka-Yoke ( a.k.a mistake proofing) was deployed today in most of the assembly lines across the world to ensure that both the order of the operation and the amount of load needed are verified and confirmed without much human interaction.

- ?

Take a scenario in which a part has failed in the quality check and moved to the second operation. If the operator or the team of operation 2 knew the quality issue in the part, they would not have performed it saving the energy and improving sustainability. These issues were raised due to the late date entry of operation 1.

?

Just like in manufacturing, where poka-yoke techniques prevent mistakes, blockchain technology offers a unique solution to streamline and secure digital transformations. Let's dive into how blockchain acts as the poka-yoke of this exciting journey. Data generation in manufacturing comes from multiple entities. So it is crucial to integrate Smart contracts and the order inside the blockchain-powered MES to ensure that the operation is performed in an orderly fashion.

Blockchain can act as the Poka-Yoke of a Digital Smart factory to ensure better sustainability and efficiency, improving the value added per every penny spent.

I don't know how badly inflation hits these projects, but that's around 820 million in today's money, which means roughly 580 million over budget. And I've no doubt that 600 million was only floated around in the first place to satisfy a bureaucratic manager who imagines that putting a number next to everything makes things efficient.

Not in a way that differs from old-fashioned web scraping.
