My personal example: VoIP phones stopping after the Asterisk server was up for 3 days.

Reason: the server had IPv6 turned on, and it steadily accumulated privacy IPv6 addresses. These addresses were all sent in a packet describing the supported media endpoints, using UDP.

And yep, eventually it overflowed the MTU and the phones couldn't handle the fragment reassembly.

I recently migrated my API from lambda functions do a dockerized Node API and I evaluated NestJS, though ended up using Fastify.

This is true in a statistical sense. The reason why people do this is when getting on a plane you have a total lack of control of your surroundings. You are not allowed to inspect the maintenance records you are not allowed to determine the qualifications of the pilots you are not allowed to do a whole host of other things that are supposed to be taken care of by the processes in place. So when those processes break down it makes people apprehensive. Because we were told trust the processes but we're shown that we can't trust the processes. It really doesn't matter that the statistical likelihood is extremely small compared to alternative forms of transportation.

When I get in my car I personally am in control of a large amount of the risk that I take. I have decided the maintenance of my vehicle when I get on the road I can be vigilant about those around me and choose to take actions to minimize my risk. Now that being said a large number of people get behind the wheel of their car and they take no steps to minimize their risk. Even when they see something ahead that seems risky they take no action to avoid it until the last possible moment when it is often too late. Still even in those circumstances they are in control of that risk and it's easier for people to accept that.
I am conscious. What's the purpose of me having consciousness? As far as can tell I could have functioned the exact same way without experiencing anything whatsoever.

Old tryhard MLC/TLC controllers tended to lock up and/or slow down when used for boot disks and/or used with OS that had no ATA TRIM command support to explicitly unallocate disk sectors. For this reason, SLC disks and CompactFlash under 8GB were used to be recommended. But that's like 10 years ago.

"chauvinism" ?

What do you mean by that?

Wikipedia describes "chauvinism" as "the unreasonable belief in the superiority or dominance of one's own group or people".

Now, if there were silicon-based persons, and some carbon-based person (in particular some humans) had an irrational bias against them, I can see the term "carbon chauvinism" making sense to describe that.

But, (so far) there are no such silicon-based persons.

> Very few. Covid mass infection events happened mostly through the air, much less so through touching a surface. We learned that early in the pandemic.

No, "we" didn't. The CDC and, by extension, much of the coverage was insisting on surface sanitization even though there was plenty of evidence for airborne transmission already. I distinctly remembered going with the CDC recommendations until a friend pointed me out to a bunch of published articles with a preponderance of evidence for airborne transmission. It took many months for the CDC and other agencies to change their stance, by which time the whole 'surface cleaning' was already entrenched in everyone's minds.

Since all of these companies are pretty early stage and lean, I focused on the 3-4 most important areas that make sense at an early stage. 1. Monthly Traffic 2. Focus areas 3. Founder’s Previous Companies & 4. Founder’s Educational Background.
Without a stack or heap, are the pre-allocated variables essentially just stored in main memory at a fixed location? I assume if you call the same function from more than one caller, the compiler would just overwrite the return address variable for each call.
I mean that’s what sucks about Open AI isn’t it ? They won’t tell us what is in the training data so we don’t know. All I’m saying is that it wouldn’t be surprising if this was discussed previously somewhere in a pop science book.

I suspect that there is already enough public domain art and photography to train an effective visual art AI model.

> It's a life-threatening journey to the top

I agree, but if someones life depends of not charging a bag with pop, then that person should not be climbing. It's too dangerous for the person and whoevers try to help.

Anectote 1: One of my friend tried to climb the Aconcagua with two friends and not enough experience. They get stuck in the middle, three days in a tent during a snow storm. They had to return down after that. All of them survived with all their fingers+toes. So it's a happy ending.

Anectote 2: We went to an excustion to climb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uritorco (only 2000m (6400ft), a piece of cake in comparison) There were a few buses, like 150 persons. Some people went without a bottle of water and with unconfortable shoes. They "climbed" 10m (30ft) until the asphalt road ended. All of them survived, but the total lack of preparation makes it more surprising.

How do cases like this ever get diagnosed?

How does someone with mild symptoms get tested for a rare virus in the first place?
> Participants gave poorer ratings to images they thought were created by artificial intelligence.

Later:

> “Customer service created by AI might be perceived as worse, not because it’s objectively worse, but just because it's degraded as something created by AI.”

Here are two examples where the researcher contrasts the "objective" merits of a thing with the subjective matter of an individual's beliefs about where that thing came from. But that is a rather loaded framing. Can we rule out the conclusion that artworks created by human artists are objectively better? I'd rate my enjoyment of holding a 5000 year old Ancient Egyptian relic much lower if I am told that it is a modern reproduction. Is it that I have a subjective bias towards an authentic original, regardless of the objective features of the relic? Or is it that the relic's provenance is itself an objective attribute of the relic, and if I am lied to about that attribute, it will affect my opinion?

This reminds me of a study on disgust. As I remember it, subjects in the study were shown a dead cockroach and told it had been totally disinfected and sanitized in some way. The roach was dipped in a glass of water, then the subjects were asked to take a sip. Obviously, many participants were grossed out and didn't drink the water. The researchers' conclusions went something like this: "the disgust response is an adaptation which serves to limit our exposure to dangerous pathogens and such. This cockroach has no pathogens on it. Therefore, our disgust reactions (and the subjects who did not drink the water) are irrational". An excellent reply was published, which went something like this: "Dead cockroaches are gross. Drinking dead cockroach water is gross. Therefore not drinking the water was rational".
I think you have the mistaken impression that I was arguing with you (certainly my comment makes it clear that I don't feel that LLMs are a panacea). I merely thought that you might be curious how GPT-4 would respond.

> My guess is that this was generated using GPT4?

This is a good guess, since I stated outright that I used GPT-4, and then mentioned GPT-4 later on in the comment.

> In practice, build systems need to cope with systems that pretend to be other systems via incompletely-implemented compatibility layers.

That sounds fine though. If the system claims to provide feature X, you probably want the program in question to compile assuming feature X is available. If the compatibility layer doesn’t work as advertised, a compiler error is a great choice. Let the user choose to turn off that flag in their system configuration when building the project.

I’m not proposing user agent sniffing. I’m proposing something much more fine grained than that. Make something that looks more like the output of configure that build systems can use as input.

>My guess is that a ransomware group is behind this.

My bet would be that they were after a crypto exchange(s) where they've already compromised some level of access and want to get deeper into the backend.

>Even if the backdoor had gone into production servers it would have been found fairly quickly if used at some scale.

I agree. Yes it's possible the backdoor could've gone unnoticed for months/years but I think the perp would've had to assume not.
> The most fundamental argument for panpsychism is that it obeys Occam's razor FAR better than the "emergent animate matter" hypothesis.

Meh. Seems to me like this is just dressing up the anthropic principle in clerical robes. The scare quotes around the "emergent animate matter" strawman sort of give the game away. There is no such "hypothesis". "Animate matter" is an observation, how it emerged is a question, and a difficult one. But declaring "Because Panpsychism" doesn't constitute an answer any more than "In the Beginning..." did.
I wouldn't really consider port knocking to be that effective of a way to block connections. It is really only obscure, but port knocking software is very accessible. So if you know a port needs to be knocked, it's not hard for an attacker to get to it.

The main benefit of port knocking is that it allows you to present your ports as normally closed. If you have a system and you are worried about it getting port scanned for whatever reason, it makes sense to have a scheme where the ports are closed unless it receives a knock. So if someone gets access they shouldn't for whatever reason and pulls a portscan off, the information they get about your system is somewhat limited.

In this scheme, it would be much better to have an access point you authenticate with and then that handles the port knocking for the other devices. So it is a kind of obscure method that is really only useful in a specific use case.

As far as SSH keys go, I would argue that SSH support is so ubiquitous, and SSH access is so powerful that it is a reasonable security tradeoff. I also don't think that SSH ports should be exposed to the internet, unless it is a specific use case where that is the whole point, like GitHub. I'm very down on connecting directly through SSH without network access. The xz situation has validated this opinion.

I personally don't know any application where you really need supreme admin access to every device, from any device, from anywhere in the world, while at the same time it has extreme security requirements. That's a pretty big task. At that point, constructing a dedicated, hardened access point that faces the internet and grants access to other devices is probably the way to go.
Not who you're replying to, but I'll take a crack at this and share my ponderings on this topic.

Let's take for granted first that you're convinced of your own consciousness. You're more confident in it you say, though not thoroughly convinced, so let's start there. So in light of the fact that you are not simply a being inside the universe, but an integral, inseparable part of it, is you observing the universe not the universe observing itself? This might not be "the entire universe in totality is a big, pondering mind" but it at least means, again given that you are conscious, that the universe is at least as conscious and aware as you are.

If you're not conscious then there's no starting point from which to even begin this line of inquiry.
It does mean that they're soft.

Necessarily.

If you grew up in the 70s and 80s, you likely lived during an era where your parents paid little to no attention to what you were doing on a daily basis. People had children after a childhood of benign neglect and decided that they were going to be their kids' friends and began to hover. They bought into every stupid little bit of propaganda and couldn't let their kids out of earshot. So now they have a bunch of kids who only ever get away from their parental units when they're at school, and they are unsocialized as hell because most hoverparents will take their kids' word over that of their teachers.

They have no internal conflict resolution skills because their parents would jump in to handle the situation. They have little to no socialization skills. They need apps to find dates.

Generations are largely what their parents make them to be, and these kids are the absolute epitome of soft. And they're gonna be real big mad in another 30 years when they don't get anywhere with work because their entitlement continues to outweigh their performance.
