Well, for one, foods aren't the only thing that affect symptoms. And a lot of food issues are related to (1) which parts of your GI tract are affected and (2) what's wrong with them. People with strictures usually need to eat low-fiber diets, for example, but people without structures can actually benefit from some fiber.

The "why" is a little less clear, but it's likely a mix of genetic factors and environmental/infectious triggers. Plus good old-fashioned stress :)

You would be sending logs to a log collector (a SIEM) in security terms, and then you could join your firewall logs against your SSH auth logs.

This kind of anomaly detection is possible. Not sure how common it is. I doubt it is common.
No it doesn't conflict with what I said - think about it, they gave poorer scores to images they thought were AI generated. And they were bad at telling them apart, and thus shot down genuine human art. The actual AI art, they gave high scores because they thought it was human art.

There's no morality in profit. If there's a profit to be made, a bunch of rich people will make that profit.

The only way to save human art will be to have an audience watch you create it and everybody signs it with their private key. This means that human generated art will be even more valuable for collectors, not less.
The entire idea of taking over Ukraine is to steal its resources and they would become a net exporter with a fairly small upfront investment. If Russia controlled Ukraine, they would control ~30% of the World's fertilizer distribution, tons of grain, and would give them a stronger foothold on natural gas distribution and oil reserves, all while being on Poland's doorstep. Putin is a Eurasianist, he doesn't care about the people in Eastern Ukraine.

I think the thing folk miss is when there’s an error like divide by zero, or the calculation would return NaN. I feel like this is the main gap/concern with using JSON and it seems to be rarely discussed.
> If you can't learn any information from "shortage" then that's your problem.

I can learn information when used as people usually use the term. The dictionary definition conveying how most people use the word is quite clear. It is just your usage that doesn't seem to communicate anything. Although I keep asking what it is you are trying to say in an effort to figure out what your non-standard usage is attempting to communicate, but perhaps it is not explainable. I do wonder if your usage's intent is as a scare word? Do you hope we are frightened when you say "shortage"?

> You could easily get a trinket at trivial cost if you wanted it

Yeah, okay, it's trivial compared to my means, but exceedingly expensive to other people. $1 is a substantial chunk of the typical yearly income in Niger, for example. They flat out can't afford a $1 trinket. That is a shortage by what you're telling us, surely?

If not, I take it that shortage only applies when people are as well off or more well off than you? But how can we know how well off you are? And what makes you the benchmark? Why not, say, Jeff Bezos?

> but having one is not important to you

Says who? I would say it is quite important to me. My quality of life is severely diminished not being able to afford a jet. If I want to fly, I have to, <shudder>, rent space on a flight with other flightmates to get the cost down to something manageable, and even then it's still a substantial cost.

If that's not important, then buying a home isn't important either. You can equally find a group of housemates and rent a house. Everyone who wants a roof over their head can have one, even if it requires some compromise on comfort. Owning a home is not a necessity. In fact, historically, owning a home was quite unusual. Only in last ~75 years has it become 'normal'.

> The stuff you said earlier about government intervention, lotteries, etc.

I don't follow. How does that relate to "preventing" supply and demand? That is supply and demand.

This pattern is common. Anecdotally, I think the majority of people trained in bioinformatics end up working full-time in standard software engineering.

I think this is starting to change. Next-generation sequencers and other imaging devices are causing more wet labs to produce massive amounts of data – which is increasing the number of companies hiring for bioinformatics roles.

I was fully expecting the answer to be that the rain was tamping down some unknown source of wifi interference... Which is a reasonable hypothesis if the packet loss is also within the home network.

I was not expecting the home Internet all went over a long range WiFi bridge, but knowing that a tree makes far more sense as the problem. Strange how it correlates with rain that way.

(Author here) I didn't forget, it just didn't seem like the most likely problem.

Like I said in a reply to a sibling to your comment, the gear was ~10yrs old at the time and had been working fine until then. It was perched in a very inconvenient spot because it had to "look around the corner" of the building, so checking the line of sight wasn't just a case of looking out the window.

I went in order of "most likely to be the problem, weighted by how easy they were to check." This is a debugging strategy that has served me well, and I don't regret using it that time either.
I worked with someone at big name university biomedical informatics department who found out only in their early 30's by emergency health crisis that they had Crohn's. Perhaps with some people it requires an emergency for there to be clinical investigation, or epigenetic conditions silence some pathologies until there is a specific stressor or gene activation.

I sure hope a CRISPR edit treatment comes along to permanently cure some of the serious Crohn subtypes.

Django Ninja and SvelteKit is my new go-to. I use Go for particularly data intensive applications and tooling. Skeleton UI and Flowbite-Svelte for UI components. Obviously Tailwind given the former. I tend to generate SDKs for my frontends using OpenAPI so generally I'm also using OpenAPI Generator CLI. If there's a need for desktop app I use Wails.io with most of the above stack.

The value that I sell for my products is that they focus on pragmatism and long term maintainability. Even if you don't use me for the next feature, this project will still be able to be worked on by anyone competent you hire.

Exactly this, the degree is used as a proxy for the actual qualities that employers for certain higher paying positions are screening for. But that's not what they tell you. They tell you that 'having a degree will get you a high paying job'. This stops being the case if the everyone has a degree and the proxy relationship no longer works. The honest thing to say is have the correct "mindset, social-economic status, and background" and you will get a high paying job.

This has been my impression overall with AI so far as someone with Senior in their title.

AI is very good at doing things that can be unit tested, or doing small implementation details.

It falls flat on its face when you ask it to understand architectural patterns, or even reference other classes/modules in a broader codebase.

The hard part about coding is rarely the code, more often it is understanding the human side of things, and how you can fulfill real world needs of users.

> For a real world analogy, if you go skydiving, and you sign an injury against waiver, and you get hurt out of pure dumb luck and not negligence, good luck suing anyone for that. You jumped out of a plane. What did you think might happen? But if you walk into a McDonald's and fall through the floor into a basement and break your leg, no number of "not responsible for accidents" signs on the walls would keep them from being liable.

Even this is a bad example, since it is just gross negligence and not intentional. A better analogy would be if mcdonalds shoots you.
The comment above seems to be interpreting OpenAI’s goals in a way that is not consistent with its charter.

Structurally, for OpenAI, capped profit is a means not the end. If the capped profit part of OpenAI is not acting in alignment with its mission, it is the OpenAI board’s responsibility to rein it in.

https://openai.com/charter

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity. We will attempt to directly build safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome. To that end, we commit to the following principles:

Broadly distributed benefits

…

Long-term safety

…

Technical leadership

…

Cooperative orientation
I still agree, and I think we're getting to the meat of it!

Hero images are made to be ignored. They should draw the eye, but not hold it. This is where current "AI styles" completely fail; they add too much detail for no clear reason, and it raises questions AI isn't prepared to answer. Hero images are there to spice things up so the page doesn't read like a scientific paper, but shouldn't distract from the article itself. It's a blog, not a gallery. I think "colorful whitespace" is the perfect description.

Art for my wall should be interesting. I want it to evoke emotion and tell a story. It needs more than good composition and color. It should hold up to scrutiny.

I guess my point simply boils down "not everything needs to be fine art."

> But my gripe about hero images is a consumerist objection, and there are more issues with these techniques than that.

I'm with you here as well, but I'm not really prepared to discuss the deeper issues. Big pile of shite, that.
This reminds me of a taxi driver in Dubrovnik, Croatia who told me that his cel service would not work when it rained because the rain changed transmissions where he lived in a way that meant that his phone would connect to a cel tower one valley over which was in Bosnia where he didn't have a data plan.
> If there are no rich people to tax, then who owns the unaffordable real estate?

People like my mom who bought their place 20 years ago. Or like my grandparents who bought their house 50 years ago.

But there's not enough new investment to increase supply. In large part because there aren't enough people with liquid wealth to provide said supply.

And none of the people who bought decades ago are selling because they need somewhere to live and can't afford to buy at current prices. Any gains they've made would be immediately eaten away by the new purchase.

You couldn't do something like a wealth tax on these people because they have very little cashflow to pay those taxes with. And it's not like they aren't using their homes, so an under-use tax wouldn't work either. You could try a land value tax, but again there's no cashflow to collect that from and nowhere for these people to go if they're forced to sell.

> perhaps we need an intelligence branch whose remit is just to gather info and do analysis on issues of geopolitical and security importance

The first part is, afaik, part of the intelligence community's mission. It worked to the extent that when GW Bush wasn't getting the answers he wanted on Iraq, he setup his own intelligence office to create the disinformation they wanted. (On the other hand, CIA head George Tenet, perhaps due to pressure, told Bush that Iraq WMD would be a "slam dunk".)

Also, afaik, that happens in a separate branch of the CIA than the covert operations. Is that not separate enough?
Earlier systems like perforce used the totally ordered integer naming scheme you describe, but it requires a centralized entity to keep the names globally unique. Using hashes for naming avoids this, and the way they are used in git imposes a partial order.

Guard Duty does have some ptocees level monitoring with some recent additions: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-guardduty-ec2-runtim...

The main thing I was thinking is that the audit hooking and especially runtime patching across modules (liblzma5 patching functions in the main sshd code block) seems like the kind of thing a generic behavioral profile could get but especially one driven by the fact that sshd does not do any of that normally.

And, yes, performance and reliability issues are a big problem here. When CarbonBlack takes down production again, you probably end up with a bunch of exclusions which mean an actual attacker might be missed.

Imagine you come across a society that categorizes people by their finger length ratios. They say if you have a longer 2nd digit your race is 2D, longer 4th digit your race is 4D.

Newspaper descriptions of people frequently say if they are 2D or 4D, especially if crime is involved. Job applications ask if you are 2D or 4D. There have to be laws banning 2D and 4D discrimination because it's so common.

You tell them it's crazy that they spend so much time worrying about 2D vs 4D. That it hardly matters! In return they tell you of course digit-race exists! You can easily measure it, and it's partly heritable. In fact it's scientifically unsound to ignore digit-race because it correlates with so many health issues [1].

Your cries that those health issues would be better understood with other ways of thinking about populations are ignored.

But, thanks to the third party doctrine, it doesn't include the records of that computer activity that exist on ISP (or anyone else's) servers.

> One option is to create an automation tax

Since everything is going to get automated, this is one of the more complex ways of getting to the same place: industry taxes that pay for a universal income.

My take is just as radical, but makes more philosophical and moral sense (to me).

All newly discovered non-human made resources are considered a common inheritance. Industry (whoever) gets bounties for discovery, and bids to extract, with that money getting distributed to everyone evenly.

What I like about it: inheritance is considered a moral transaction, joint inheritance of the planet is an ideal we often give lip service to, flat distribution does not favor or disfavor anyone, and this distribution method doesn't take anything from anyone (after a gradual transition to the new regime).

The value of total natural resources extracted is going to increase over time, even as unit pricing goes down. Access to resources beyond Earth will give the value of new resources a big boost.

Something will have to radically change, regardless.
Signals are basically lazy functions. You can't "just" use functions if performance is a concern, cause that's the least efficient way to keep everything consistent.

Since watching seems(?) to be synchronous in the proposal, why do you think extra debugging tools are needed? You can breakpoint into render() with a regular debugger and look at the stack trace.

Luxury is build quality: not just a list of features, but the care and effort taken in assembling all the parts into a car: tolerances, alignments, finish quality.

Tesla fails all, with frequent misaligned panels, paint bubbling, ill-fitting parts, etc. It has software bells and whistels, but shitty build quality for the hardware.

20+ years ago, we did a trade-off in the datacenter, replacing single piece of expensive hardware with multiple copies of cheap hardware, with software to patch over the deficiencies. That doesn't work as well when the product is a single piece of hardware.

With some smart software, I can run 3 servers at 50% uptime each, and get 100% uptime. I can't get one nicely assembled car from two shitty ones.

Even if you are looking at the turbines "edge-on," there's probably going to be a noticeable Doppler return as well.

Plastic drones with plastic propellers are still visible on radar because the tiny propellers spin super fast, so they light up like a Christmas tree on Doppler radar because the approaching vs receding velocities of the blades are so different.

Which part strikes you as vague?

"""Others who use this device won’t see your activity."""

Seems like plain language to me. Anyone who thought this feature was hiding them from the websites they were visiting simply imagined that.
All you're saying here is that you think Ansar Allah has good reason to attack native Yemeni Sunnis, who make up the majority of the population. I don't think defending or even mitigating the Houthi cult is an especially useful rhetorical hill to die on. Note that I didn't refer to "Sunni Emiratis". They're not blowing up mosques in the Emirates, are they?
Upon further reading, I think you might be correct. I initially thought a good signing process would be sufficient since it sounded like this malicious blob was secretly being included in the tarball by the build server, but it instead seems to be the case that the malicious binary was included in the repo as a test file.

You could probably still protect against this sort of attack using signing, but it would be much more laborious and annoying to get working. The idea is that you would somehow declare that OpenSSH binaries must be signed by a *particular* key/authority, that VS Code is signed by Microsoft, Chrome signed by Google, etc. Additionally, the config declaring all of this obviously needs to be secured so you'd need to lock down access to those files (changing key associations would need to require more permissions than just updating old software or installing new software to be useful).
