That's not quite accurate.

The dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for most of the post-war period has led to critiques regarding the vibrancy of political competition and the effective functioning of democracy.

The chaebols, those massive family-run conglomerates, have essentially been the architects behind South Korea's economic renaissance since the '60s. Think Samsung, Hyundai, LG - these giants spearheaded the transformation from a post-war economy to an industrial powerhouse, under the guidance of policies favoring heavy industrialization and export-led growth. It's fascinating to see how the government played matchmaker here, doling out financial support and monopolistic privileges like candy at a parade. This strategic play birthed the "Miracle on the Han River," flipping the script from poverty to prosperity.

But, as with all tales of meteoric rise, there's a darker subplot. The symbiosis between the chaebols and political elites isn't all roses. Issues of corruption, nepotism, and economic dominance cloud this success story, leading to a wave of calls for corporate governance reform and efforts to dilute their power.

On a different note, South Korea's journey to democracy is a saga of its own. Decades of authoritarian rule gave way in the late '80s, thanks to the collective might of students, intellectuals, and labor activists. The June Democratic Uprising in '87 was a game-changer, forcing the military regime's hand to pave the way for democratic reforms and the country's first free presidential election later that year.
Sorry for the misquote but it's a distraction from my issue which was with the usage of the word 'passed'.

Do you pass information from other tokens to a token in the sense that each token processes information from other tokens? A token isn't a processing unit AFAIK, it's just a word part. The processing is not the responsibility of the token itself. My understanding is that tokens may be associated with each other via an external structure but not passed to each other. Or maybe they meant a token vector? And the token vector contains information from related tokens? It's unclear.

To me, 'passed' means data passed to a function or algorithm for processing. It's confusing unless a token is a function or algorithm.

My point is that this language only makes sense if you are already up to date in that field.

I don’t think France successfully became a democracy at all during the Revolution; the First Republic quickly fell into the mass murdering reign of terror under Robespierre, who was ousted by the Directory, who remained in power for four years until Napoleon’s coup. Lafayette himself was basically driven out of France by the radicals.

On the other hand, Britain itself was already fairly democratic by 1776, and the thirteen colonies had their own representative government institutions. The point of complaint was that the British were simply ignoring those institutions and flagrantly violating the traditional rights that Englishmen were entitled to. And a lot of the British were sympathetic to this viewpoint so there wasn’t the political capital to crack down on the rebellion as harshly as Britain would do in various other colonies at other points in time.

And aside from Lafayette, the French monarchy—the same absolute monarchy the Revolution sought to overthrow—was the regime that supported American independence, mostly out of “enemy of my enemy is my friend” considerations.
This is such a deeply American take that I can't help but laugh out loud. It's like going to a developing nation and saying that, while emissions from two stroke scooters kills people there's no alternative to get your life things done.

even easier is to STOP HOSTING SSHD ON IPV4 ON CLEARNET

at minimum, ipv6 only if you absolutely must do it (it absolutely cuts the scans way down)

better is to only host it on vpn

even better is to only activate it with a portknocker, over vpn

even better-better is to set up a private ipv6 peer-to-peer cloud and socat/relay to the private ipv6 network (yggdrasil comes to mind, but there's other solutions to darknet)

your sshd you need for server maintenance/scp/git/rsync should never be hosted on ipv4 clearnet where a chinese bot will find it 3 secs after the route is established after boot.
They happen in parts of the market. Subsidy creates a price floor, but new construction will knock down older premium priced apartments outside of highly desirable areas.

People who advocate for tenements usually do so to eliminate the price floor.
You're assuming that feature matters to me (it does but I have a lot of users relative to servers, so even the most basic tier of userify express or their cloud offering would handle my needs for dramatically less than premium tailscale). What you're missing is the foundation of being able to deploy something like this depends on easy acls that integrate with my current identity system (i.e. saml) because I need to be able to control access per business unit so that when the mesh of everything is brought online users still only have access to the subset of systems they should have access to. This matters whether it's Sheila in accounting who only ever uses it to remote desktop to her on prem workstation, or jackie in IT using it to manage on prem servers across multiple locations and cloud servers.

So yes, maybe a small subset of my users are actually using enough of the premium bundle to justify that cost but I can't even mix and match because the basis of every use case (the ACLs) are only in the premium package in a functional way.
How the California forest that was Endor in 'Return of the Jedi' was obliterated (2022)
Belated 2022 article, just stumbled over this one.

The forest was in Del Norte County, the northwestern tip of California; also Humboldt County. Many people wrongly think it was filmed in Muir Woods, Marin County (close to ILM), which the filmmakers initially requested, but were rejected mainly due to the pyrotechnics.

The Del Norte forest was clear-cut right after the film shoot was over, except you can visit the grove where the speeder chase scene was shot. Protected in perpetuity within a state park in Humboldt County are the remaining shreds of Endor. The Film Commission highlighted the area in its “Map of the Movies” for a self-guided tour through the two northern counties. [https://hdnfc.org/sites/default/files/2021-06/map-of-the-mov...]
> Eastern Europe only took off after the fall of the USSR

The Balkans maybe don't count as Eastern Europe, but before ww2 we were predominantly agrarian. 75% of the population worked on farms[1]. By the 1970's Yugoslavia was a modern industrial economy with all the accoutrements you would expect from a European nation (power, sanitation, roads, etc). Only 29% of the population worked on farms[2].

Then in early 1990's the country fell apart, democracies came out of the ashes, and by 2004 the first bits of former Yugoslavia started joining the EU and NATO[3]. Overall a great success.

I might not put it quite the same way but I had similar thoughts about the contrast in which these things are often discussed.

Maybe it's not all quite that way though? The film Her is pretty similar to what's described in this article? Eerily so in many ways in fact. That protagonist is male.

For some reason your comments made me wonder about a gender-reversed take on Ex Machina. I don't mean that sarcastically, I just think it might be interesting what a good-faith exploration of some of the same questions might produce, as Ex Machina is so heavily focused on gender dynamics. Maybe you'd end up with essentially the same film though?

> Not opposed to raising minimum wage, but this law seems oddly specific, and has fairly goofy exemptions. We're going to see the usual side effect of businesses changing their behavior to become exempt.

Probably not, since part of the reason it is so specific is that it preempts local targeted (industry-specific as opposed to general) minimum wage laws. So trying to wiggle out around the boundary of the law would potentially expose a chain to having to deal with different targeted minimum wage laws in multiple CA jurisdictions.

>How can we ensure say, that Microsoft doesn't pay someone to throw a wrench in libre office development or Adobe to sabotage Gimp?

Microsoft and Adobe have reputations to uphold long into the future.

Is that infallible? Hell no it isn't, but consider that Jia Tan only needed to uphold his reputation insofar as getting his backdoor onto everyone's systems. Once that is done, his reputation or the lack thereof becomes a non-issue because his work is done. We're lucky we caught him just before the finish line.

The likelihood of demonstrably reputable parties like Microsoft and Adobe poisoning the well is practically nil because they don't have a finish line.

Im in Sydney as well. I suspect the immediate effect of rates shook out in Q2/Q3 last year when there was a big dip. Since Q4 inner west-ish prices are up another 10% for properties Im tracking. Clearance rates are still around 70%, though I see a fair number withdrawn beforehand instead of passed in.

> new report suggested the majority of recent sales in Sydney were to cash buyers. How long can that last?

A long long while. Every existing owner, 60% of the population, is at the top of the pyramid scheme. Anecdotally from agents and my observation is the ones selling an existing proprry are cashing out, doing a price insensitive downsize, and/or buying a “first home” for family members. More pressure on the middle market.

Similarly our net new residences and net inward migration is still insane. Something like 40k residences and 500k new people. Interest at a historical norm of 7% isnt going to do anything in light of that. Especially with good odds on RBA decrease this year or next.

Extends to the rental market as well. Minus the inner city covid pause rents are also tracking 10% or higher gains year after year.

So yes tax insanity, finance, and “investment” memes have cooked us. But I dont see anything getting materially better in light of that supply and demand.

> I'm familiar with old blog posts from back as far as maybe 2005 that predicted the crash in 2008 accurately.

The housing crash happened in 2006, though. I suppose being able to predict the crash even a few months in advance is impressive, but as you're hazy about the years, it is possible that it was really 2006 and the crash had already happened, which isn't so impressive.

2008 was the securities crash. That is when the mortgage market started to crumble under the weight of housing no longer having the value it once did with mortgagers left underwater. The housing market had to crash beforehand in order for this to happen. Once one saw that the housing market had crashed, it wouldn't take too much of a Kreskin to realize securities were on the horizon.

I wish I could agree, but the hard truth is that decisions that imply heavy amounts of energy consumption have to be able to sustain active critique.

Simply waving the upsides around and shaming anyone who questions the cost is an age-old posture that has helped bring our society to the brink of disaster.
But they have their own windowing system, yes?
That simply isn't the colloquial definition of a shortage. If rent is $20,000/month for a studio, going "well technically you can always get one if you can pay $20,000 a month so there's no shortage" is kind of a uselessly pedantic comment.
That just raises the hurdle for the attacker. The attacker in this case has full control to replace any function within ssh with their own version, and the master process of sshd will always need the ability to fork and still be root on the child process before dropping privileges. I don't see any way around that. They only needed to override one function this time, but if you raise the bar they would just override more functions and still succeed.
Great informative article. Note that "M-13" is often used for MS-13, and "M-18" (erroneously?) for B-18, which can be a bit confusing.

> The jump from Neuroticism to Narcissist confused me.

Me too

> I'm a bit wary of anything touching on narcissism, there was a big jump in people who loved talking about their narcissist ex the past 2-3 years.

The term narcissist maybe overused, but a lot of us also learned to recognise it in recent years. It is a fairly common behaviour, and people can have narcissistic traits without having clinical NPD. Just because some people claim their ex was narcissistic without adequate justification, that does not mean there are not also many who are right when they say it.

I think being forced into being confined with people during lockdowns also made people realise what they were putting up with. Because it is so different from how reasonable people behave, and it is associated with abusive behaviour, it can be hard to figure out what is going on.

A bigger problem IMO is the overuse of "gaslighting" which dilutes its meaning and makes it harder to clearly describe the actual behaviour.
It should go without saying: don't rely on this.

You probably don't have 100% certainty that the RCE hasn't already dropped a secondary payload.
Iran had already ceased to be a democracy by the time the coup happened. That was actually one of the precipitating causes for the coup, which had a ton of popular support at the time. Mossadegh was essentially a dictator ruling by means of emergency powers at the time he was overthrown, and even before that point, he had also interfered with the 1952 parliamentary election by stopping the counting of votes once the minimum quorum of MP’s had been elected.

Yes transformers are obviously more capable than humans in my opinion. Claude can ingest dozens of pages in seconds and -- in a single shot -- write a summary bringing in relevant passages.

The innovation is not the speed, but the lack of recursion or iteration. Humans, even accomplished ones, have to reread sections and really 'internalize' ideas before being able to summarize and very few humans can -- in a single attempt -- generate perfect speech. Most of us speak and unknowingly revise our own speech as we go along. Unlike transformers, that speak confidently, we start making a sentence and then decide halfway through its not going where we like. Then we start it over again, and by the powers of human attention, no one seems to really notice.

Transformers Are just insanely complicated and expensive to train.
