Professor Robert Sapolsky at Stanford had Toxoplasma and it's manipulation behaviors as a research interest for a period.
He's a successful popular science writer and I think many people appreciate his informal lecture style as entertaining.

I don't remember which are the best presentations he's given on T. gondii but here's one that appears to be high-ranking on search at least

I understand it's hardware, but that's a bit rough.
> If you compare the work and complexity involved in developing and maintaining the two solutions side-to-side, JWT is still much simpler overall for pretty much all scenarios.

I still disagree, especially given the prevalence of session based solutions in pretty much every web framework out there.

Your post contains a couple of suggestions that are counter to just about every piece of advice I’ve ever read about JWTs (for example, increasing expiration times to a day). So, consider me thoroughly unconvinced.

And you’re not even considering the solution that some web frameworks (e.g. Rails) ship by default, which is to store the entire session object itself in a cookie, which was purpose built for that sort of thing. Then very little is required on the server.
Google have been trying that thesis out for years and yet TPUs aren't flying off the shelves in the way H100s are.

The basic problem they seem to have faced is that the hardware was over-specialized. The needs of models changed quite fast. CUDA was flexible enough to roll with it, TPUs weren't. Google went through several TPU generations in only a few years and yet don't seem to have managed to build a serious edge over NVIDIA despite being less flexible.

They also lost out because the whole TPU ecosystem is different to PyTorch which is what won out. That's a risk if you do your own hardware. It ends up with a different software stack around it and maybe people pick hw based on sw and not the other way around.

So it's not that easy.
It only needs to be paired to an iOS device for initial setup and configuration. A watch with cellular can operate independently of the iOS device after setup and configuration.
You seem to think that there aren't any kids that, under pretty much any circumstances, would want to have a private device. Speaking from experience (having been a kid myself) I can assure you that these kids exist.

Well, for one, the EU had only lobbyists as consultants until some of the associations that defend freedom made so much noise that the EU could nothing but invite them, too. Point is, they should have been invited in the first place and not after massive outcries.

As a thought experiment, I think it’s useful to try steel manning this bill, and assume for a minute that the potential risk of a sufficiently advanced and “unsafe” model is real and severe.

It seems reasonable to regulate specific aspects of safety, e.g. it shouldn’t be possible to derive the formulas for chemical or nuclear weapons. If an AI company cannot be certain of this, it seems reasonable for the government to impose restrictions on the handling of such models. Where things get murky is how to define risk for things that are less obvious.

There is deeply embedded in the tech community an ethos and belief that core tech is neutral, the potential for harmful use is an acceptable reality. I have lived and breathed this for 20 years.

But information is not neutral, and the output of these models is derived from a corpus of information that is anything but neutral. A subset of this information is so incredibly harmful that the risk of its inclusion is high enough to warrant significant effort in ensuring safety.

Again, assuming a sufficiently advanced model, might it be reasonable that the onus is on the creator of the model to understand what it can do and certify what it cannot do?

Many have commented that the non-regulation of the early Internet was necessary and good, and that the same should be true for AI. But the eras are very unlike each other. The entire technology industry was still forming, and no one knew what would come of it. What grew was incredible. But with it came the data brokers, the worst aspects of social media, etc.

It’s against this backdrop of an increasingly enshittefied landscape that regulators are looking at this potentially seismic shift in computing and not feeling willing to let the companies that cooked up the current mess go headlong into something potentially far more fantastical (for good or bad) without checks and balances.

I still think the bill is far too vague and just drives AI development out of CA. But I can understand where it’s coming from, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a push for this nationally, with similarly vague specifications because no one knows how to quantify AI risk.

Edit: To be clear, I'm asking questions and trying to explore the legislator's angle here. I'm not saying I think this kind of legislation will be effective or that this is a good bill.
Give them access to high-level planning docs in a shared drive and if they don't look regularly it's their fault.
Conceptually is this sort of a database-agnostic SQL view? Seems like these could be stacked to simplify (or complicate?) an entire ETL pipeline.

I haven’t decided where I land on this. In some ways, stacking SQL views looks like it simplifies a bunch of ETL jobs, but I also fear a few things:

* It either breaks catastrophically when there’s a change in the source data

* Fails silently and just passes the incorrect data along

* More challenging to debug than an ETL pipeline where we have a clear point of error, can see the input and output of each stage, etc

* Source control of SQL views seems less great than code. Often when we have too many views, you can’t update one without dropping all of the dependencies and recreating them all

But I also wonder if I feel this way because I know programming better than SQL
It would be interesting to see how many people work for the delivery apps and how many of them would otherwise be working for the restaurants they're now delivering food for. Could some of the difficulties restaurants are having finding workers be due to part of labor market they usually have access to are now doing delivery instead of production?
The statistics say that wage growth has outpaced inflation.
The range claimed by chinese car companies is usually accurate (every article I’ve seen where a driver is interviewed includes a reported range that matches the manufacturer claims) maybe it’s something about not wanting to run afoul of a government that will kill you for abusive capitalistic behavior.

I think most of the replies to your post suggest that you are correct, even though the downvotes are unfortunate.
Finally, there is light at the end of the hype tunnel.
I’m honestly hoping for Apple to reset the narrative. People don’t give a damn about AI features. They care about features that have value for them.
Companies should therefore use AI as much as they like, as long as it’s for bringing actual value to the consumer.
So far, instead, all we’ve seen is hype marketing centered about using AI as a blanket term for everything, because it’s just the “next big thing”.
The normalization is near, though.
Which apple device? I didn’t know they made watches for kids. Couldn’t find it either.
Vapi AI
Pretty much how our gut brain works, our heart brain works, and how octopus arms work too.
the approach in the article is for analytics / DW type use cases, not OTLP. So a dig about kids these days not understanding constraints is not particularly relevant.
I'd love to hear from a lawyer.

Is this law even constitutional? Doesn't it violate the first amendment?
What to ZIRPs have to do with Pomodoro subscriptions?
Doesn't even have to be about tracking - we got a limited watch for our kid when she was 9 or 10 so she could call and text us if anything came up, and used that as the basis for letting her do her own thing even more. Was fantastic. I'm pretty anti-device for kids (said 11yo is still grumpy I won't get her a phone), but watches with cellular are quite great.
Also. Its very scary the workd we live in
Sure, but isn't it still going to take you N minutes/hours/days to discover the violation? Does it make a material difference that you can revoke access this hot second as opposed to up-to-5-minutes when the token expires?

Seems to me that for most applications, the irrevocable 5-minute token seems "good enough".
Podcasts would need more than one engineer, certainly more than 0 <= x < 1.
It is for kids and not teens, after all
I don’t buy that tracking kids is necessary or increases their safety. This seems to be an American phenomenon.
Usually the difference is where the interception occurs.

For instance, most countries have had the ability to intercept signals since there have been signals.

What they want is to root the OS / Application, and transmit home the unencrypted contents of messages before encryption or after decryption.

They cant just walk into a business and order that however, they need the power to compel businesses to implement these changes. Thats why these things end up super vague.
At least it wasn't laserdisc sized.

> Education is run by the government in the US, as is healthcare. It's ironic that you blame capitalism for that.

No it's not ironic, and it's also not completely correct. There's no point in having a conversation with lack of good faith statements like this. For starters, education is underfunded, and it's leached on to by corporations. Big surprise it doesn't do well. There's also lack of social support structures surrounding our education, so it's no surprise that the educational system is overwhelmed with trying to be too much while also underfunded.

And healthcare is not ran by the government in the U.S. It is almost completely privatized, so your statement is an outright untruth and purely bizarre. I have no idea what you're agenda is, but there clearly is one.

> Wealth equality is a goal of communism.

Wrong again.
Why not give them a cell phone but not install tracking software on it?
I used some utility written in machine language for renumbering BASIC lines in AppleSoft BASIC (MS derivative). It would march through the linked list data structure and assign new numbers, fixing up the GOTOs and GOSUBs.
I simply called using the landline back in the day, but I grew up in a small village in Germany where roaming the fields unsupervised was the norm.
In this case, that wasn't that much of a concern. I felt like the buyer had the skills to grow TinyPilot from $1M to $10M+, but he didn't have a technical background, so he'd have a hard time recreating the business from scratch even if he had access to a lot of our secret sauce.

If I were selling to a direct competitor, I would have had to be a lot more protective about trade secrets. I could make them sign contracts saying that they wouldn't use the information against me if the deal falls through, but I'd have a hard time enforcing it, and the cost of suing them would probably be higher than anything I'd hope to extract for a contract breach.
In my extended family, it's a huge generational gap, with those under 30 using the apps constantly and those over 30 only using traditional delivery from pizza and Chinese restaurants that have their own drivers. One of the weirdest experiences was when my nephew had milk and a couple other items delivered only a couple of hours after he got home from his job at a grocery store. Guess he didn't think about getting those items at the end of his shift. The delivery apps seem to have integrated themselves into their way of thinking how food gets to the house. It's a bit odd for me as I'm not part of that generation.
I would love a class on taking care of my fountain pens. Maybe I'll find something on YouTube.
Thanks for sharing your story.

It’s a tragedy that universal healthcare and tougher regulation against unhealthy food is still not achieved.

If you don’t mind me asking, what advice would you share to deal with such diagnosis and making it through?
You can attach a kid watch to your iphone plan. They get their own number and are part of your family management. It works really well.

At least one parent must have an iphone, though.

There is no watch specifically for kids, we just gave ours my wife's old one (I'm on Android, so ...)
In addition to infrequent access type use-cases, the ability to trivially create new DBs without incurring significant costs is the killer feature.

This makes it feasible to build multi-tenant applications with 1-db-per-tenant. I know the same can be achieved with RLS policies or application-layer permissions, but nothing beats the peace mind (for developer and customers alike) of having tenant data in entirely separate databases. This also makes it easier to have custom schema for different subsets of users. Side note: SQLite (the OG serverless DB) also has the same benefit but is decidedly less feature-full than postgres/mysql.

Another pattern that I have seen emerging is that certain products allow end-users to create DBs on the fly as a part of their own product offering. For example, Retool (which uses Neon) allows users to create a new database in seconds, even on their free plan. I don't think this would have been possible (both cost and DX wise) if they provisioned a new Postgres cluster for each customer.

On that note, and in light of what happened with the Planetscale free plan, this would make the Supabase free offering and branching to be significantly less expensive to operate. btw: thank you for the free plan and all the amazing OSS contributions from the supabase team!!
Interesting.

As an aside, I searched for "musician book can't escape music" and your comment was on the front page of the Google results in sixth position. In fact it was in nearly every search I tried. I couldn't find such a book with moderate trying, just a BBC Point of View transcript on the same thing.

It's personally not a problem I've really noticed in my day to day (for example, today I would only hear music on my headphones at work and as part of TV others in the house are watching at home), though I probably don't spend my time in the same places a musician would.
Maybe safety. But also CO is a pretty high emissions state at the moment and many mods can contribute to that.

Another solution: a HTTP proxy server listening on localhost to which you sent HTTPS requests using GET https:// instead of CONNECT. Then the proxy server could have all the logic about which requests to handle via the cache versus which to fetch directly. It could also handle authentication to a cache server if that is required.

The problem is most clients don’t do GET https://, because in your old-school corporate web proxy use case, the proxy server is remote, and sending HTTPS requests to it over HTTP eliminates the security of HTTPS.

If only there was some standard environment variable like artifact_proxy, which had to be a localhost http URI, and which tools would understand as meaning “send HTTP GET to this proxy, even for https://, delegating all the TLS stuff to it, but only if you are trying to download a build artifact, not for any runtime use”

The hard part wouldn’t be implementing this idea (the local proxy server and the environment variable), the hard part would be getting all the different tool developers to agree to support it

You actually can’t. There are off market and on market plans. Even though it’s by the same insurer, on market insurance is only taken by 50% of the places that take the off marketplace plans. Been down that road a few years ago and it was a disaster. Ended up getting a great plan for my company through the state chamber of commerce.

You've twisted the definition of democracy to suit your needs. Very typical behavior of convoy supporters like yourself.
Torrents tank when there is lack of popularity. Linux can be configured for a wide variety of purposes, from IoT driver to gaming workstation, so not all packages are equally popular with all people, and just because a package is unpopular doesn't mean it isn't important. If I'm the one person in the world running a service that everyone else relies on, then the packages which support that service are important even if no one else uses them.

Therefore to use torrents requires one of two choices, neither of which are really viable when you think about it. Either:

* Require everyone who uses the distribution to torrent releases of the full set of packages for the distribution. (And remember that packages regularly get updated even in LTS releases, due to backporting security fixes etc.) It means everyone using the distro really needs to be running dozens or hundreds of torrents.

* Everyone torrents only the packages they need, so access to packages becomes up to popular vote instead of actual importance.

Torrents are fine for isos but intractible for ongoing package management.
Thanks for reading! And thanks for giving us a chance in those early days!
Any sources that you can provide which integrate both of those measures (so that we are comparing prices to salary)? (and of course even if inflation and wage growth were always identical, people would be worse off as they get pushed in to higher tax brackets)

My partner's team works across all of Google's products (e.g., Cloud, Geo, not Verily or Waymo) and is part of the green light process for those launches. I don't want to get into more specifics than that, but let's say a product is not growing year-over-year as expected. This is one of the teams involved.

My guess is they will retain "parts pairing" from a technical perspective, but frame it as an anti theft measure, and focus on preventing use of stolen device parts.

Perhaps they'll relax the restrictions on "non first party" components (likely you'll lose some functionality that aftermarket parts don't actually support), but use pairing to lock out parts from stolen phones.

I suspect that part of their strategy is to try to make stolen iPhones less attractive to thieves, and effective parts pairing would likely reduce the market for stolen phones stripped for parts.

Of course, if you can "blank" off a stolen part to appear as an unofficial one, that doesn't work! That idea is therefore likely to face challenges.

The challenge will be what is really meant by parts pairing - to some extent if you want to do some features securely (say touch ID), you probably want to pair the reader to the secure enclave with a shared AES key and similar. There could be tooling to reset and re-establish that pairing on an unlocked device.

Legislation often struggles to define exactly what is required though, so it will certainly be interesting to see how Apple responds.
Yes but the build up isn't manual. You go patching prompts with responses until the final result. The last prompt will be almost the whole code complete, obviously.

It's called predatory pricing -- you buy cheap now, pay later when they come to recoup their cost. It won't drain their bank if they end up undercutting/destroying all local competitor and we become dependent on them.

This is not necessarily a problem if we can all peacefully coexist. China has a history of weaponizing their dominant market position to settle geopolitical/market disputes -- eg, rare earth metal ban against Japan in 2010; China's recent graphite "export control" to protect Chinese EV companies' business in markets abroad.

The fact that China practically banned all foreign EV battery makers from local EV market and forced EV OEMs to use locally made batteries by local battery makers to dominate the global battery market since 2016 under Xi's Make-In-China 2025 adds to the view that this isn't purely about saving the planet or making affordable EVs for the rest of us.
