It could be key spraying, maybe targeting a particular organization with distributed infrastructure for which the attacker already has some keys, but more likely groups blasting default keys (i.e. for some crappy IoT devices that included them in the firmware etc) for a nice & quick botnet.
I was kind of happy with MSDOS 2.11, I felt that they'd got the basics in place (in particular hard disk / subdirectory support) and that bloat hadn't started. From memory I used this for years and years although I was young so time didn't rush past so quickly so who really knows. I kept a version of MSDOS 2.11 debug.com around for decades (patched with itself so it wouldn't just do a version check then quit). From memory it was something like 12K bytes whereas debug.exe from MSDOS 6.x was more like 60K bytes.

It's just another system of control. Temporarily embarrassed millionaires and all that. And once the desire for freedom has been transmuted into support for corporate authoritarianism, the money flows and the political hacks get to work shoring up the platform for the sponsors.

I don't think 'libertarian' has to be synonymous with 'anarchist', but US libertarianism desperately needs an analog of anarchism-without-adjectives and to drop the axiomatic-fundamentalist approach that ends up fooling so many into supporting authoritarianism. Coercion is not some binary thing, but rather a matter of degree based on power differentials.

“[the store staff] walk the merchandise up to the register” and once you pay you get it — called the “catalog showroom concept”. Used by “Best Product” department stores for four decades from the 1950s to 1990s, roughly 200 stores US nationwide by the time of their closure in the 1990s. Some stuff was in self-serve aisles, but the majority was delivered when requested by submitting a paper form to staff, the box rolled down a conveyor belt and I seem to remember you physically took possession from staff after you paid.

A 2024 version would have less paper and more robotics, but the retail concept in the US worked quite successfully for decades. Treated staff decently as well…

This sort of lawyer talk is depressingly common. Like, a social network tells you "you've violated our community standards" but won't say how you did it.

Calling something "inaccurate" is utter BS. In an actual legal proceeding, the parties are enjoined to speak "with specificity," meaning that kind of crap isn't tolerated. But in a public statement, anything goes, apparently.

You can see why they do it: if they did answer with specificity, people would just argue about the details. Calling it "inaccurate" is equivalent to, "sit down and shut up."
The outrage! The vague feelings of people I don't know taking things out of context may survive. If not, I'll bring them soup.

There are some unfortunately popular projects like Puppet over the past 20 years who tried to sell the lack of documentation as a positive, or just had incomplete and outdated documentation like Chef. ;] On the flip side, IETF RFCs, Python PEPs, and Rust RFCs are examples where specifications made things clearer and open to everyone. It's not enough to open source a thing without context or comments, the learning curve must be accounted for to make it as self-service and understandable as possible to people who have domain knowledge but have never used this particular thing before. OOTBE UX. Code maybe a communication of intended system behavior, but it is often too low-level and spread around to be relied upon as a singular, compact reference.
Thatd be great. Is there somewhere I can message you?

It had nothing to do with market effects. Some states and even quite a few local governments made their own net neutrality laws once the Trump admin nixed it federally. Complying with NN laws in some places but not others would have been way too complicated, so they just let it be.

NN being saved by consumer backlash doesn't really make sense in the US, anyway, where many (most?) people only have one or two choices for internet service. ISPs don't really need to care if their customers don't like their policies.

This is a great example of the concept “ubiquitous language” from Domain Driven Design.

Use language that your domain experts understand. If your users know about NACHA files, using other terms would mean they need to keep a mapping in their head.

On the other hand, in Stripe’s case, their users are not domain experts and so it is valuable to craft an abstraction that is understandable yet hides unnecessary detail. If you have to teach your users a language, make it as simple as possible.

You are probably thinking of dowels used as loose tenons, where a blind hole is drilled into the mating pieces of wood and the dowel is not visible once the joint is together.

Sometimes people glue a butt or mitre joint, then once the glue has set, drill a through hole for a through dowel from an outside face of the joint.

The blind holes approach is tricky to get perfect alignment on where dowels are being added across a longer length. As a hobbyist I've tried a few cheaper dowelling jigs and had mixed success. This challenge lead to other loose tenon solutions like biscuits or dominos which allow for some side to side misalignment while retaining the ability to keep the visible faces aligned.

The through dowel approach avoids the misalignment problem, but comes with the visibility of the end grain of the dowel on one exposed face. Some people are ok with that.

Dowels are still one of the "strongest" options for end-grain to long-grain joints. Many professional woodworkers now favour dominos simply due to who quick it allows them to work and the additional allowance for some side-to-side alignment.
> But sometimes I see useful topics being discussed that are for whatever reason, marred by mathematics.

it's not marred, but formalized by mathematics.

Maths is very unambiguous. It makes it so that you cannot interpret it wrong, as long as you learn the meaning of the symbols. The transformation of these symbols are logical operations, and follows on from previous operations.

By describing processes or thoughts this way, it ensures that what you say is formal - aka, someone else can follow the logic _exactly_ from the assumptions/axioms.

It also allows you to overlay proven theorems from other fields of maths and apply it to your current situation. By doing so, you can transform your problem to a known solved problem, and therefore, have a solution. This solution might be complicated and require knowledge from that field unrelated to your problem, but i dont think that's a problem with maths itself - it's a sign of your own deficiency.

Finally, maths forces you to think systematically. It forces your brain to adopt a style of thinking that most people find difficult, but it is what it takes to solve problems wholistically.
If not for space considerations, I would be right there with you.

I still have hardware and software to get me back to NT 4.0 or Windows 95 (OSR 2, please, it wasn't tolerable before that). I haven't needed to in a while, but in a previous job, we'd run across old disks in some author's archive and I'd go home to dig around, find a 5.25" drive and rig something up, reach back in time.

I could maybe do Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

If shipping weren't so brutal, I would love to send off my old stuff to someone who would use it. I still have working SCSI equipment! I bet somewhere there is someone stymied on trying to liberate some ancient works but for the necessary hardware/software setup.

Both of these services support sending IP addresses via an API endpoint and can handle up to 500k IP addresses. You can also share the report via URL.

Can you expand on that last bit? I don’t understand how this compromises the entire network or any individual user. The ISPs only have layer 3 data in plaintext. We can perform timing/throughput analysis attacks against individuals, but not the entire network. These operations are VERY expensive/difficult.
DCMA takedowns are almost certainly faster and cheaper than pursuing the trademark route.

Many companies that do not have business in countries known for their abundance of bad actors will block their IP ranges right away.

Nowadays hackers worth their salt will make use of botnets and VPNs located at more "friendly" countries.

Moreover, it's increasingly easy each year for companies to support BYOD and let employees procure whatever they want that meets IT requirements. My current employer gave all non-tech staff $2000 to buy themselves a laptop, which was then enrolled in some fleet management systems with almost a single click.

Frankly, I see very few people choosing Windows anymore.

Also, another point to add: Microsoft's Intune fleet management system is perfectly capable of managing Macs, and you can use AD as your IDM source of truth for just about anything, including SSO for Google Workspace & ChromeOS devices.

To your last point, Windows Server is a hard requirement in many enterprises because of legacy or procured software that requires it. That is entirely separate from end user computing.

(I used to run end user computing for an F500, and I also ran the Enterprise Apps org at the same time. This was from about 2008-2015, and initiatives including mass migrations aware from MS Office to Workspace, and replacing thousands of Windows laptops with Chromebooks.)
Ah yes, keeping the US government away from the thing they created in the first place. That's seems workable, sure.

No, because California and 12 other states, as well as quite a few local governments, passed their own net neutrality laws. The larger, national ISPs were pretty hamstrung: they couldn't really follow the NN laws in the places where they existed, but then impose non-neutral terms in the places where they didn't, without running into lots of trouble.

A federal rule is good, though, to harmonize things, even if the state/local laws were more or less already doing the job.

All open-source projects that deal with reimplementing parts of Windows, particularly Wine and ReactOS, consider those leaked sources radioactive and would not accept any patches if there's even a slightest suspicion that the patch author gleaned anything from those sources.

I think the point the person you're replying to was trying to make is that the line drawn between things the government should have a hand in vs. things they should leave alone is fairly arbitrary, and is a matter of opinion. So saying the government should be kept away from the internet is just one place to draw the line, and it's perhaps interesting to know of other places where someone might draw that line, in order to get a baseline, and determine if it's even worth trying to have a productive discussion with them about government regulation.
fwiw, there are approximately 25,000 FTEs reporting up to Thomas Kurian, and I'm not sure how many thousands of TVCs. That's just for Cloud, and doesn't include the massive numbers of additional, relevant employees directly support Cloud from within TI. Part of Google's problem is that it's so big and so broad, and has always insisted on a monorepo for internal source code, and it's outsourced to vendors as much as possible, that it's nearly impossible to disentangle any one business unit from the next. I predict that if the FTC or the EU seriously try to break up the company, this will be there argument against it.

I guess that makes sense. I mean I'm not depressed and I never have been but I know that cigarettes gave stability to a lot of friends I had when younger who had those kind of issues. Less likely to fall off the deep end and probably kept them more functional and taking care of themselves.

The thing I don't get is why they need a spyware router in everyone's home. They own the infrastructure and know where all the traffic is coming from. They can do this with their own hardware outside people's homes.

I do wonder if they're sucking up LAN traffic data too, though, some of it which might be unencrypted, like smart devices talking to each other.

Wonderful analysis, thank so so much for adding so much value to this discussion.
The doomsday "propaganda" didn't come to pass because several states and localities promptly passed their own net neutrality laws after it was deregulated at the federal level. The larger ISPs couldn't find a workable way to implement their non-neutral bullshit in some markets but not others, and the local ISPs in places with no net neutrality laws never really had enough clout to do crappy things in the first place.

AI safety is pretty much a total joke because the development of AI is not driven by high-minded idealistic principles. The driving force behind the advancement of AI is "We can (and it might make us a lot of money). Therefore, we should."

Like it or not, that's how it is. This is how technology has always progressed, regardless of whether you can make the argument that this is OK from a moral standpoint or not. You can't do anything about it even if you wanted to. Recklessly uncontrolled advancement of technology is already the status quo.

AI safety proponents (especially "effective" ones who truly believe what they are saying) need to be making the argument that the alarm needs to be raised. There needs to be an immediate intervention that shuts down AI progress, and the nature of this intervention must be radical to the point where people will reject it.

Most of these AI safety proponents are not willing to make this argument because they know it's pointless, or they're actually just jealous of the people who carelessly advance technology and make a shitton of money off of it.

Thank you for this. I am looking for as much information on Lama 70b running locally, but not finding as much as I would like. How come you have access to both 7995WX and M3 Max? Professional setting or hobbyist? I'm not knowledgeable with regards to running LLMs on CPU. Do I understand correctly that Threadripper treats RAM as unified memory in the same way as Apple silicon, so that you could in theory dump 256GB of RAM into the system and have the FP16 llama3 70b actually run and load?
As someone who has dealt with depression and probably always will, a socially engaging workout would eliminate any chance whatsoever of participation.

Trying to force my muscles to move in front of other people, not to mention holding up conversations I don't have energy for, would be social torture.

My process: puttering around organizing my space gets me moving - if I "waste" a day or two moving around, all the better. The vanishing clutter lifts my spirits.

Then walks. Cardio VR games that are fun of their own accord. As I get more energy, I ramp up actual workouts. And start engaging with people again.

--

Edit: But yes, as a preventative, I can see social workouts as helpful for overcoming a general exercise motivation gap. The same as for anyone. But it would have a tendency to backfire when an episode hit.

I need to recover physical, mental, then social energy in that order.
