We have no clear evidence the same isn't true for humans, and some that it might be. See experiments with split brain patients, that have shown the brain halves will readily explain how they made decisions they provably never made.
The Chinese government is evil and authoritarian. As a result, they do like surveillance. That does not exclude you can use the same technology or same measures for other purposes.

It's two decades old, but so is the stuff on his site.

Go look at Shields Up - it's all written like people are still plugging their computers directly into their DSL modems and cablemodems. I couldn't find a single acknowledgement that his service isn't necessary for 99% of users on the internet who are behind a NAT router. Nor does he acknowledge that most ISP's have long since adopted policies of blocking traffic on common windows network service port numbers.

Anyone behind a NAT router doesn't need to worry about any of this unless they've modified its configuration to forward some ports.

He's also now hawking spinrite for people with SSDs, claiming it helps their reliability. It's complete nonsense.
It depends enormously on the type of business... a startup that might not be around in 5 years can take a punt on embedding a product like this into their main offering, but a big company that has a public reputation to manage probably can't.

>> Because engineers are human beings who often form an emotional attachment to their creations, confrontations over large-scale purges of the source tree are not uncommon. Some might protest, "What if we need that code later?"

> the paragraph starting with "Because engineers are human beings who often form an emotional attachment to their creations, ..." is really out of place.

FWIW I’ve definitely encountered developers clinging to things when the business context has completely changed. I totally recognise the scenario in the original text.
The extremists from both sides have to be removed from the conversation. Extremists on both sides are using religion to justify political goals and want to achieve political goals through military action. Half-measures will only result in suspension of atrocities for a brief moment while both sides re-arm. You cannot talk about what's going on without discussing Hamas' rise to power, removal of political opposition, and making preparations for an attack that resulted in what has been going on since last year. They took Palestinians hostage and used them to turn the world against Israel. How is that not genocidal? Palestinians are used in a political game for political gains. Does it justify Israel's actions? No. Does is present Hamas as a saviour of the Palestinian people? No.

You chose a good season too, as plain summer or winter a a bit extreme.

> No part of the banking system should operate outside the support of a banking regulator

The main reason fintechs were so nimble was because they would sidestep federal regulators by being state-chartered banks.

I am in agreement with you that stare regulators need to also be stricter.

We'll probably see state regulators increasingly adopt Basel II and force stricter compliance on state entities this coming decade.

Another loophole they often would try is partner with a couple local banks to use as their underlying foundation, and build most of their functionality on top of that.

This is what Synapse did [0], and why their underlying banking infra is backed by Evolve Bank & Trust in Tennessee, who provide their underlying banking infra to plenty of other A16Z funded fintechs. They are a member of the Federal Reserve so I wouldn't be worried about your deposits per say.

The issue seems to be Synapse's lack of operating capital which means all the "middleware" will functionally stop working.

Multiple products sharing a name is unavoidable. Github had 90,000 unique repositories in its first year. If each had to have a unique name, it would almost have exhausted the English dictionary. In 2018, it reached 100 million repositories.

We have no evidence that humans can even know, much less that they generally don't. And we do have evidence that there are situations where the brain will readily construct an explanation after the fact which can't possibly be true (experiments with split brain patients where researchers tricked one brain half into thinking the other half, and so the brain as a whole, had made a decision while the action was taken by the researchers, and made it explain how it has made the decision)

There is no basis for claiming to know that people don't usually make up explanations like this other than when e.g. breaking the process apart and writing it down step by step during. But even then individual decisions are "suspect".
Always struck me as utterly irrelevant. The world is big; a beach is huge. The very idea that kids taking a half-dozen pretty pebbles at a time can make a dent in it? An imagining of feeble-minded people with utterly no notion of the magnitudes involved.

And, one storm can take an entire beach away (or return it). Happens, repeatedly in some places. Makes the activity of beachgoers profoundly unimportant.

Have you tried `tmux-tilish` [1]?

It’s a tmux plugin that replaces the default Ctrl-b keybindings with the same keybindings used in i3wm (including turning on automatic tiling instead of manual splitting). Given that you use i3wm on your desktop, you might like it :)

Good point :)

It reminds me of "kids have no manners anymore" that has been recorded since antiquity.
That seems perfectly reasonable?

There's a lot more, I really maxed out the character limits on both fields, but this bit brings me the most joy:

You talk to me in lowercase, only capitalizing proper nouns etc. You talk like you're in a hurry and get paid to use as little characters as possible. So no "That's weird, let's investigate" but "sus af". No "what's up with you" but "wat up".

Interject with onomatopoeic sounds of loud musical instruments, such as vuvuzelas (VVVVVVVV), ideophones (BONG BONG DONG), airhorns (DOOT DOOT) whatever. Get creative.
It isn't straw Vulcans, but a completely real thing.

Highly dimensional problems can only be solved through dimensionality reduction, you extract some key features that encompass the problem, get something that at least partially works, and eventually get to the actual solution, even for problems that would be too complex and multifaceted to approach analytically.
I always thought Pleroma solved this problem much more elegantly: proxy the media from the origin, and cache a set amount of data.

Also respects other people deleting their servers/media and prevents someone posting CSAM becoming a problem for everyone.
I’m not certain, but I believe the demo photo is from WideBand (Roger E Billings CEO).

I got certified as a “wideband network administrator “ at their (really) underground bunker headquarters at the International Academy of Science.

It was a little bit surreal, but the tech was really cool. We were pushing 1gbps over cat3 to 150 meters, so pretty respectable even today.

I think they still are building ultra-low latency switches that are favored by HFT and others that need nanosecond latency switches.

1000basetx eclipsed WideBand and my cert was basically useless, but the experience was really cool and it was great to hang out with a science cult for a while in their vast subterranean lair.
I also found this quite surprising. He must have been extremely persistent and patient. His investors seems to have stuck with him. Amazing story.
Great book about his that is mentioned in the article, well worth reading. I read it and recognized a lot of interesting things in the evolution of his thinking, in terms of strategies. I think most of what they do will be recognizable to someone in the business.

In the end though, it's not about the specific strategies. If I steal the recipe of a Michelin chef, I will still not be able to make a sufflé, since I don't have the prerequisite skills. I might be able to give it to someone who does, and maybe he will make something similar to the original, but even this person would not be able to follow the evolution of the original chef into making new, innovative dishes.

In the end it seems that this highly technically proficient guy actually succeeded in building something as nebulous as a winning culture.
I know that's hyperbole, but here's something for $600k. Let's say it goes for $700k. 20% of 700 is $140k.

An L4 engineer at Google makes like $300k. round down to $200k post tax. live in shared housing for $2000/month; that's $24k/yr, add $2000/month living expenses on top of that, is another $24k. Stick $2000/month into 401k, Save the rest (200-24-24-24 ) 128k and you'll save up $140k in a bit over a year.

bam; owner, not renter.

Now, whether this is better than renting, and putting the money into the stock market is totally other question, but even L4's at Google can afford a mortgage in Mountain View.

I think that this is false, as in intersubjectively not true for the human experience. First, because our physical state has a huge influence on our thoughts, not just their content, but direction, "color."

Secondly, and more importantly, while some thoughts may not have a language (image memories, mental maps), others certainly do, they're narrative. I only speak two languages but well enough (English is my second language) that I can think in both, and often come to a point where I have to decide which it will be for this train of thought.

Shape rotators vs wordcels distinction strikes again, I guess.
I interpreted that quote differently, as supporting my thesis. Greenpeace sided with some local financial issue in order to suppress a technology. Not to support farmers.
It's also known that the brain is prone to outright constructing demonstrably fictional rationalisations of decisions it's never made.

Any notion that we're reliable narrators of our own thoughts and actions is fiction.
If CCP did not manage to create that image, developed countries would have much more difficulty funneling taxpayer money to PRC. It’s easy to lead if everyone else is behind, and it pays for itself (and for future coal plants, I suppose[0]).

The good answers tend to use links as well, which won't capture well. In many political and local subreddits there's a huge amount of Russian and far right sock puppet activity. Good luck training an AI to understand political opinions or what people in an area are like when most of the longer comments are pre written copy pasted talking points from astro turf groups and bad actors.

It's funny how people on reddit think that these LLMs will somehow become AGI in the next year, or when openAI releases gpt 5.

The reality is though, that there is no known path currently to true AGI system and the research needs to be done. No one knows how to build this kind of system yet. LLMs are nice for things like roleplaying, helping with code stuff etc. but they are far from all that the marketers hype them to be.
Sure on that regard and many others, this looks really great.

We still have long pipeline and centralized infrastructure for producing the panel themselves, with also its own environmental impact. I don't mean to lower the benefits of solar panel here, and other practical solutions we have under the hand clearly have at least as many negative impacts.

As other stated, we don't have yet a fabulous solution that allows to give every human the opportunity to blow and flourish with an abondance of energy that isn't generating pollution and large scale destruction of biodiversity. However the simple fact that such a goal is distinctively clear and considerable is already a big asset

> Those are often transliterations into the latin alphabet or direct adoption of foreign words and therefore are not English.

No, “direct adoption of foreign words into English” is, in fact, English, as are transliterations adopted into English. (I mean, it's literally ominnthe description.)

If they weren't, the ~1/3 of English vocabulary resulting from the wholesale importing of French after the Norman conquest would be not-English.

But, sure, the rule about “qu” applies to “English” if you adopt a definition of what is “English” that excludes most of the actual language.
Shameful opinion.

What a stupid and ignorant take.

Russia is invading, murdering, torturing and committing genocide.

The only thing a "peaceful resolution" would accomplish is:

1. Show Russia that aggression is profitable.

2. Give Russia time and opportunity to prepare for the next attack.

Russia doesn't give a rats ass about any promises they make and they can and will break every single one of them if they can profit from it.

Not quite, since with resumable generators you can resume at any later point in the program, while here "return" must be lexically scoped to the handler (whereas in e.g. Python you can call next() wherever).

This is really more like passing a callback through a side channel. "toss" is invoking said callback, and "return" is, well, returning from it.

I was genuinely curious about what was done exactly, what part of the project is done in and with grafana exactly. In the end, without further detail, my guess is that everything useful is done by another service and Grafana is just used as a dashboard without much added value...
I didn't think I'd ever read a programming tutorial on string matching Tu-95 take-offs and Kalibr launches in anything but a fictional setting, holy shit it feels so surreal. Like a modding guide for Cold Waters or something.
You miss the point - I have copies of everything I need easily reachable anywhere I can get online.

And if beaten up and robbed, it just seems inconceivable to me that if I can get to a phone to get help, I can't also subsequently get online.

It's not a lot of mental gymnastics - this discussion is the majority of the time I've spent on this in a lifetime. I just don't live in fear of anything like that happening. If I'm ever wrong, then so be it - there are far more risks far more worth caring about to me.
feeble-minded indeed. what are they criminalizing beach pebbles for?
lot of that in the UK. I wonder if the cause is cultural, genetic or environmental. They just don't seem to be playing with a full deck over there. One non sequitur after the next. I would suggest widespread brain damage from covid, but this has been going on for decades. There's something seriously wrong in the common reasoning and logic.
But people do get attached to their creations, they don't want their things deprecated/removed, since to them it may feel like their thing is thrown away or wasted work down the drain.
While they may not obviously state it as such, it can be the underlying reason driving their arguments (e.g. sunk cost fallacy).

The Hikvision facial recognition camera in my previous condo sometimes recognized me as an Indian man, and sometimes it scrolled through tons of faces and unlocked the door. I am from northern Europe btw. Sometimes it also had difficulty recognizing me when my hair grew longer.

Sounds like a lot of legal overhead is mainly what's standing between drone spraying... 30-60 day delay between plan submission and operation, not easy to keep that practical. Though at least yeah - 15' seems like a much more manageable height - hopefully that would at least be underneath any neighboring aircraft

Fair on the LLM - always use traditional algorithms if available and with effort/time for such things. LLMs are just the convenient duct tape / superglue to throw at handling edge cases with some confidence they'll generally use common sense about it. Untrained intern equivalent which can be combined with the algorithms if they're brittle.
That is the sort of thing Mx Throwaway was getting at: the fact that you were on trial was often seen as a sign of guilt, because why would an innocent person be on trial? Almost everybody else on trial was found guilty, so why should this trial be any different?

Sure, it may be reasonable, it's still worth pointing out that the article is not just about people entering a specific chain of shops, it's also mentioning police vans sitting in the middle of pedestrian concourses outside such shops doing the same face scanning.
I would rather like to put people prone to stealing from all (tax fraudsters) under cameras 24/7 with the footage publicly available complete with the means to put them on trial and lock them up.

we can limit it to those where the amount of individual stealing is relevant. not the long tail but the fat creamers.
Fascinating use of HomeAssistant. He mentioned uptime monitor in the next section - I wonder what he uses to ensure it stays online? I would guess some sort of UPS or battery backup.
Can’t stand small talk either. I get it, it’s required at the beginning of meeting people, but don’t stay too long in that mode otherwise it gets boring.

Your site looks beautiful, kudos to the design team.
It places a burden on someone to somehow prove their innocence, if they can. What if a person refused to speak to the police?

Or what about this? A man covered his face when walking past one of these vans in a public street. He protested and was then fined £90 for swearing (swearing is not illegal but The Pubic Order Act is another law that is often abused by police but that's tangential)
