Which reference AES implementation? My memory is that the one from the spec has terrible timing side channel attacks... e.g. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/its-all-question-time-aes-tim... seems to corroborate my memory.

I seem to recall this was remotely exploitable, and exploiting timing side channels has only gotten better since 2014.

I think recreational drug use is demonstrably good for society and part of all succesful civilizations. Take caffeine, sugar, alcohol and tobacco as the primary examples. All potent drugs and all taken habitually and en masse by all the most successful societies in the world.
For .gov, gov.uk, etc. specifically, it's not that hard of a problem. You can't sign up for those TLDs if you're not a government, so browsers could decorate the URL bar for them. Then you just need to teach people e.g. that the URL bar should turn green whenever interacting with any government, and governments at all levels should use these restricted domains.

You could do a similar thing with banks. Require them to use a .bank TLD (or .bank.us, .bank.uk, etc.), only let actual, regulated banks register them, and give them special decorations. Use eminent domain if those domains are already taken.

Unlike EV cert validation, it would actually mean something if you restricted decorations to specific known regulated groups.
> “If you’re getting hate, that’s a good sign.” ...In the past, he used to engage with them...Now, he doesn’t get too involved.

Did he mean to say "passion" in this case? How is hate a "good" sign of engagement? If someone has an opinion and is willing to share it with me, I'd hope they could do it in a constructive way (but I wouldn't call that "hate", and this is the Internet he's talking about).

Imagine being surrounded by 100 people hurling insults at you, telling you you're no good and your product / service / art sucks. How is that a "good sign"?

Edit: Maybe the assumption is "For every hater, I find 10 people that _do_ like it", so the realization is that "I'm reaching people," and the underlying prayer is that "And hopefully, they're not _all_ haters."
Oh good. I could have sworn I heard that the timed exclusivity requirement came from the Dubai side, but in any case I am glad to hear that they are more widely available now.

Yep, some people tested this same theory out for firearms (or was it suppressors?) all produced and sold in one state in accordance with state laws. Of course the Feds shut that down and the courts agreed. The only reason they don't do this with pot is because they don't feel like it.

Carriers have been blacklisting IMEIs for at least 10+ years. Since phones tended to be carrier-locked back then you couldn't go to a new carrier without being in good standing to get your device's unlock code from the old carrier. Now that devices are available unlocked by default, it is probably harder since it would require carriers to communicate IMEIs?
Yeah. Check other responses now, there are a couple of solutions already

Dart? Version 1 was a lot like Javascript/Typescript in one spec (a dynamic language with optional unsound typing). Version 2 uses sound typing, but you can still let variables unannoted (and the compiler will infer type "dynamic") for scripts.
I suppose a "data transfer" from Reddit to OAI would be valuable for SamA too? Still a transfer of value from one hand to the other, while others (eg. Google) have to pay.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they pay now. They can't get away with scraping as easily now that they are better-known and commercially incentivized.
OK, but the fact that the definition of M1 changed right around the time Biden took office makes me wonder what Biden policies the change might have been intended to obscure.

(I know the Fed is not under the direct control of the White House, but the change might've been made by decision-makers at the Fed whose sympathy with Biden overrode their commitment to impartially reporting monetary information to the public.)

That event was over a decade ago. Those were not production cars, and production at Tesla has moved away from this model and into "structural packs" where the battery pack is major structural component of the frame.

Also, that demo was pretty much there to get some tax subsidies or something. They built the system to comply with the minimum to qualify, and once they got the money they didn't do anything else with it. Those cars weren't really production at all.

The wealthiest American banker should be Andy Beal ($10 billion+), and that's because he wholly owns a big bank [1].

For reference, Jamie Dimon has been CEO of JP Morgan (America's largest bank) for nearly two decades and controls $1 billion in shares. Yeah, they're all mega-rich, but there's a big difference between someone having $1 billion and $30 billion. The latter can spend the former's entire assets in a year and still become wealthier over time.

Spigot: A command-line exact real calculator
Money is a representation of wealth. Underpinning that are real resources and labor, economists have realized this since Adam Smith.

Debt is money creation. Deficit spending by the US govt is money creation; FED literally creates out of of thin air some money to buy T bills when it does QE.

USD is the global reserve currency. Practically all trade deals are in USD, even when say a S Korean firm sells stuff to Indonesia. Only the US can print USD, all other countries must export goods or services to acquire the USD needed for their imports.

Say an amount X USD represents all goods and services in the world. When the USG prints money, now X+dX dollars represent the same goods and services. USG spends the dX amount via salaries, purchase orders etc, and this amount reaches US companies and individuals. These individuals then purchase goods and services abroad. Essentially, without producing or selling anything in return, US gets to import dX dollars worth of goods and services. That's what seigniorage means in that context.

I don't have a compatible device but I'm curious how the pricing works. Does it work like a subscription where you pay monthly for unlimited runs per month? Or do you just need to pay for enough runs and buy more if you run out?
Sure that is the case for systemd itself but it's not the case for most projects that happen to use things systemd provides.

There is very little benefit for most userspace software to tie itself to systemd and by extension linux when otherwise it could be portable to any unix or unix like platform. Especially when an alternative, portable solution already exists and is well established.
The argument was that this design of systemd makes it hard to write applications that are portable, so that systemd is effectively a very big net negative to the open source ecosystem, because it causes massive fragmentation.

I think you might have missed the “not” in my comment. I agree on the numbers but would not second guess whatever happened internally since I have no knowledge of how that worked.
> Like all dietary/nutrition sciences there are plenty of studies for both sides of arguments (e.g. coffee is healthy/unhealthy, eggs are healthy/unhealthy), so you can easily find studies that contradict the benefits of bacteria in raw milk (certainly there is a potential safety risk)

Apparently not, as per the study you linked to.

"To our knowledge, there are no studies exploring the impact of unpasteurised milk intake on the gut microbiome."

> here’s an NIH study

It isn't an NIH study, it was done in Ireland.

"This research received no specific external funding but authors are supported in part by the Science Foundation Ireland in the form of a center grant (Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre Grant number SFI/12/RC/2273)."

> raw milk’s association with promotion of bacteria in the microbiome beneficial to physical/mental outcomes

The study was selection of 24 people out of a group that paid to spend 12 days on an organic farm in Ireland learning how to cook from a celebrity chef. During the stay they drank unpasteurized milk and ate fresh farm food and at the end had more lactobacillus in their fecal matter and some of them reported less anxiety. Unfortunately, I don't see much value in this data.
We’re using KEDA and ScaledJob to scale tomographic reconstructions in the cloud. When a CT scanner has finished uploading a scan, we let a ScaledJob create a Job to process the data. A scan is maybe 8 hours and during that time we don’t need any compute resources. But when it’s done we need both lots of CPU and GPU power to process GBs and TBs of data rapidly to show previews to the user.

Also, when a user triggers new previews we scale up nodes to process that data. The problem there though is the scale up time of the node pool which is a few minutes for a GPU node on Azure.

We payed to have a GPU running all the time before but that got too expensive.

As a side note, would I do it again I probably wouldn’t build a data pipeline on top of KEDA ScaledJobs and possibly not use Kubernetes at all.

12.3.4 is pretty good.

The pros are that I've seen very human behavior from it like speeding up to get through a yellow light and letting people merge when they have a turn signals on. It also slows down for speed bumps and avoids blocking 4 way stops if pedestrians are crossing in the far side.

The bad is hard braking and acceleration at stop signs and there are just some situations where it waits too late to brake and then brakes too hard.

ECMO is a miracle, but can also lead to some of the saddest situations imaginable:

As someone who is "C# curious," but haven't been able to keep up with all the horrific number of rebrands of the "new, open, .net, core, framework", what is the C# equivalent of $(for GOOS in linux darwin; do for GOARCH in amd64 arm64; do dotnet build -o thing_${GOOS}-${GOARCH}; done; done)?
I don't have a license, so can't know for sure.

But the only versions mentioned in [1] that should compile out of the box into Wasm, are the ones that say they use "the Rijndaal reference implementation."

I don't think compiling OpenSSL into Wasm is tenable. But some wrappers around the Go AES implementation should work.

Great article, did New Yorker abandon its rambling house style?
Ansible playbooks are usually a list of steps to execute in order (imperative). Those steps may try to present a declarative interface to what they are supposed to do, but many fail to fulfill the definition of "declarative" that you have linked. E.g. with the built-in modules it is impossible to declare a desired set of installed packages, only a set of packages to be installed _in addition to all already installed packages_. This means it is impossible to remove an installed package again by removing it from the declaration, you have to specify a second step (imperative) that explicitly removes the package. This makes it impossible to declare a final state for "installed packages" with ansible.
"If, back in the 70s, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak had to guarantee that their computers would not be used for serious crimes, would they have been willing to sign with potential jail time on the line? Would they have even bothered to found Apple?"

back in the 70s computer crime was not technically possible or even really feasible in the way we see it today. we didnt have an internet until the 80s.

what we have with AI is wholesale development, integration, and execution in our everyday lives across numerous platforms and services. its used in bill pay, litigation, even war. we absolutely do need legislation to protect and secure regular people from it.

this feels like a classic case of having your cake and eat it too. Either AI is a very powerful tool for humanity and thus would naturally require a regulatory framework around it to ensure its proper use and application, or its a buzzword hyped up by SEO's and marketing teams to make people think a handful of big companies that ran out of steam 20 years ago still have the potential to innovate stuff.
So they just eat the fees?
>> one shouldn’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphising and mysticising models based on the ‘neural’ name

And yet, artificial neural networks ARE an approximation of how biological neurons work. It is worth noting that they came out of neurobiology and not some math department - well at least in the forward direction, I'm not sure who came up with the training algorithms (probably the math folks). Should they be considered mystical? No. I would also posit that biological neurons are more efficient and probably have better learning algorithms than artificial ones today.

I'm confused as to why some people seem to shun the biological equivalence of these things. In a recent thread here I learned that physical synaptic weights (in our brains) are at least partly stored in DNA or its methylation. If that isn't fascinating I'm not sure what is. Or is it more along the lines of intelligence can be reduced to a large number of simple things, and biology has given us an interesting physical implementation?
It’s the unrecognized but genius artist fallacy: many great artists were unknown and poor when they did their best work.

It's sometimes even smaller than states. Many waterways are federal, meaning islands have to grow their own in order to avoid having to transport weed from one part of the state to another part of the same state across a federal waterway.
I think the argument here is that hate (which is a subset of passion) is not the purely negative thing that we immediately think it is. Especially in art. When people _hate_ art the art has served its purpose. Art's intention (to paint with heinously broad strokes) is to create emotions and drive thoughts. That's a very different intention than a product/service and they shouldn't be compared in that sense.

There has been a time that Python was a fringe language, only known by some hardcore nerds. I thought Joel Spolsky had once mentioned that having Python on your resume was a signal of a quality developer, someone who went off the beaten path.

Times have changed. Python is now the MS Excel for developers. It shines for quick and dirty data mangling. Unfortunately, that is how a seizable portion of people approach software engineering. My theory is that for some having to do abstract thinking and perform a dry analysis beforehand is an impediment. They can only discover what they want while banging out something. They fix the runtime errors they could catch, and slap some more features on top.

Types imply a kind of foresight, and that is what some people really have difficulty with.

EDIT: Might sound negative, so I admit that the quick feedback cycle you can get from an interpreter language like php/python is a feature in itself.

Not to downplay the dilemmas we face today, it seems to me that the main problem is that the machine is too expensive, too complicated and too large to serve as a permanent heart/lung replacement.

No technical reason, but you won't be able to run a compiled binary due to policy. You need to use an interpreter.

It can still leak data if attackers can get their input reflected. I.e. I send you a word, and then I get to observe a compressed and encrypted message including my word and sensitive data. If my word matches the sensitive data, the cyphertext will be smaller. Hence I can learn things about the cipgertext. That is no longer good encryption.
I think the divulgator role is necessary though. I like Neil's laid back & slow persona. He communicates for effect, glossing over details which would overwhelm casual audiences. He is emotional, grave or funny as needed. He simplifies where it's needed for a 40 minute episode of a show aimed at general audiences (like myself!).

I feel the role of science communicators/eduitaners such as these is to spark an interest in the topic. You can later go for details elsewhere, or even pursue a career in science.
