"Normalize" in this sense means "to make culturally acceptable". A thing can be legal but still be taboo, for example, in Japan tattoos are legal but you might get discriminated against at an onsen if the owner doesn't want tattoos on display in their establishment.

Weed might be "normalized" in some communities, but a large portion of Americans will silently judge you if you are a recreational drug user regardless of it is weed or cocaine or fentanyl. Contrast to, say, beer or wine, which the majority of Americans will not silently judge you for indulging in moderation.
On one hand I'm very happy with all the recent policy changes coming down from different federal agencies, but on the other there's a very high likelihood that they will all be reversed a few months from now if/when a new administration takes over. That is always the downside of executive rule. With Congress unwilling/incapable of acting though I guess this is the best we'll get.

It’s a less-harmful alcohol substitute. I have multiple friends who’ve gone “California sober” and it has sure looked like nothing but a good change.

It’s by far the best sleep aid I’ve personally found. Practically miraculous. Huge change for the better, I’ve gone several months at a time without it on a couple occasions since starting and holy crap, life used to be terrible. Extremely low-risk, doesn’t leave me hung over feeling like a lot of the legal sleep aids do. Plus, hell, it’s a lot of fun to watch some MST3K while it’s kicking in.

Almost no serious interactions, so you can take it while ill and having to take other drugs, to help (enormously) with sleep or appetite or whatever.

For that matter, having a damn effective pain reliever and sleep aid that you can just keep on hand for when you get the flu or something, and not have to go suffer through a waiting room for a prescription while ill, is a giant QOL boost.

And... when dealing with humans - policies are often not enacted like we thought they would be in our head's under ideal conditions.

Policies are implemented by politicians and government drones, are beholden to budgets and meandering political sentiment of the population, etc. ie - they will never be implemented "correctly" - so we should pick the policies that are the hardest to get wrong and/or have the least negative side effects.

If you want to keep the information secret, you need a way to store it. Assuming number generation must be coordinated centrally (to prevent collisions), that does not seem like an impossible task. A system that involves a cryptographic hash could divide the id space up into different segments without being dectpherable from the outside world unless the cryptography is broken. A periodic key rotation system could reduce the impact of a compromise.

To me, the real question is why embed that information in the passport number at all? Even if driven by cryptography, it seems to represent a risk for which i don't understand the benefit.

I don't believe it's black and white. Sure, some workplaces are too demanding, but in other cases, people are taking advantage.

My observations (in the USA) over the past few years suggest that most people who were hired around 2019-2021 when hiring technical staff was super difficult, have an absolutely bonkers level of entitlement. People are making 200k a year, and bristle at the implication that it's not acceptable for them to be completely absent (from their fully remote jobs) and unreachable all day without warning. None of the nearshore workers I've worked with exhibit this attitude -- it's only Americans, and only the engineers. They assume that the company wouldn't dare risk losing them by calling them out on this, and that if they did lose their job it's going to be trivial to get an equal or better one anyway, so why should they do anything that might cause any stress? Why should they have a sense of urgency? "I'll get on it when I get back from the beach, the waves are really good this morning." That's the work ethic. I'm not saying it's everyone, of course, but it's a common attitude. Oh, and all these people have incentive stock options, but don't seem to really believe they matter, so they are deeply disappointed with like a 4% raise, thinking a 10-20% annual raise makes sense. Overall the attitude isn't one of "i'm going to do everything I can to make us successful so my equity will make me rich" it's "I'm going to maximize my cash compensation and minimize my hours spent on work until it's not fun anymore, then on to the next."

By the way, it is their right to act this way if they want, but I'm pretty sure the bottom 50% of US engineers (in terms of ambition) are going to find themselves replaced by nearshore talent that works harder than they do and doesn't even think hard work is an injustice.

Plenty of escalations are due to bugs. It's good to operate on a blameless model, but if I followed your model I'd gladly put the blame on engineers like you if the cause was found to be a dependency issue or a misconfiguration issue.

Ofc, in the real world peers and I operate on a blameless model. Shit happens, but we need to fix our mistakes asap if they are made.

Not all contactless payment cards are EMV cards (or even smartcards!), and not all EMV cards are Java cards, though.

Early contactless payment protocols also started out as something adjacent to, but distinct from, EMV; they eventually got included under the EMV umbrella, but unlike for contact payments, the protocols (called "kernels") vary considerably between e.g. Visa and Mastercard.

There's still a wide range of non-EMV contactless payment cards in use today, mostly for stored-value transit use cases (EMV works best when there's a network connection and doesn't handle long-term two-sided offline cases very well). NXP is an important player there (with their Mifare series of cards/chips); Felica is another (mostly in Japan).

Of course, nor would I expect them to make it so.

In fact, I mention the SEE in my package's documentation. If you have a license to the paid extension, it should be easy to compile it and use it with my package.

It will be slow, however, because it will be running the reference AES implementation in Wasm.

That said, if anyone is interested in sponsoring a SEE license, I can look into doing the encryption Go (which uses assembly on most platforms for those bits).
My last company used Splunk and SignalFx. They were fine, but I wasn't necessarily in the weeds with configuration and usage. The Observability Team made it easy to use.

My current company, a much small startup, primarily uses Datadog and we are starting to better integrage Honeycomb. We mostly abandoned Google Cloud Monitoring because the UI/UX are not that great. Honeycomb is a paradigm, so took some time for us/me to understand. It's growing on us.

Despite the ability to completely blow up our bill (which is now better controlled), Datadog is a good product that lets us quickly answer questions when things go wrong. It's not perfect, but it's the best we have right now. The UI is intuitive, and facilitates more discovery (esp. for metrics and their attributes).
The same mistake we as an industry are doomed to repeat.

Why ? I guess you do not get this unless you have systemd, that is fine by me. If I would use anything outside of sudo I would go to doas.

My home distro does not have systemd, so I guess I may never see run0.

I have been evaluating the various BSDs for a few years in case my distro is forced to use systemd and friends. The distro I use is fighting the good fight against large monolithic tools, but it is having a hard time trying to avoid these monolithic tools.

With Linux slowly forcing systemd, Wayland, various Desktop Environments and now this, my move to a BSD may happen sooner that later.

Curious, I wonder how close run0 is to how Windows raise auths ? With LP now working for Microsoft, is he cloning tools from Windows for use in Linux ?

I guess the root cause of my claim is that OpenAI won't tell us whether or not GPT-3.5 is an MoE model, and I assumed it wasn't. Since GPT-3.5 is clearly nondeterministic at temp=0, I believed the nondeterminism was due to FPU stuff, and this effect was amplified with GPT-4's MoE. But if GPT-3.5 is also MoE then that's just wrong.

What makes this especially tricky is that small models are truly 100% deterministic at temp=0 because the relative likelihoods are too coarse for FPU issues to be a factor. I had thought 3.5 was big enough that some of its token probabilities were too fine-grained for the FPU. But that's probably wrong.

On the other hand, it's not just GPT, there are currently floating-point difficulties in vllm which significantly affect the determinism of any model run on it: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/966 Note that a suggested fix is upcasting to float32. So it's possible that GPT-3.5 is using an especially low-precision float and introducing nondeterminism by saving money on compute costs.

Sadly I do not have the money[1] to actually run a test to falsify any of this. It seems like this would be a good little research project.

[1] Or the time, or the motivation :) But this stuff is expensive.

Your body can adapt over time, it's just that most people don't try because they live indoors and control their environment and would prefer to be comfortable.

When I moved to a place with much warmer summers, the first year was awful. I could barely go outside without looking like I just came out of a sauna. Several years later, living without air conditioning and mostly walking everywhere, I was one of those people wearing pants and long sleeves in the peak of summer without sweating. 100F was just another warm day.

Since then I've moved to somewhere much cooler. I sweat profusely when it gets to a mere 75F. I just never trained my body to adapt.

To pivot back to the original topic about showering, people who shower every day strip off the body's natural oils that keep the skin moisturized. In response, the body produces more oils to maintain the integrity of the skin. And then some people want to shower more for that "clean" feeling and the problem gets worse.

In a sense, your body adapts to your daily showering, so when you abruptly stop, you're gonna smell.

In a similar sense, people with long hair are regularly advised to only wash their hair occasionally, because washing removes all the oils that their body generates, leading to dry hair that breaks easily. But people with short hair claim they have to wash their hair regularly because it "gets oily" when they stop.
