I use a dedicated backup user, and setfacl does allow inheritance of its acl on newly created things. I can't look it up now but I'm sure a Google search will find it. It can also prevent the 640 as well because those acls are different than the normal mask.

I think what you might be doing is applying a group acl instead of a user acl. In my setup I use normal Unix group permissions for some things, acls that apply group permissions for most things, but for homes I put my backup account as acl user permissions for read.

Could you use root? Sure, but you would need to evaluate the risk in that. As root is "do all the things" account. The backup account can still read all the things so you still have data loss exposure but it can't modify the things.

I only learned to tie my shoes 18 months ago. All my life I’d been tying granny knots and wondering why I was always tying my shoes even with double knots.

Someone posted a page here on the topic, and it was a revelation. It still feels wrong to tie my shoes correctly with amount of muscle memory I have. and it’s extra embarrassing given that I spent a fair amount of mental effort on knots in my youth.

> or less, I bet the actual equation is more complicated

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

I’m a bit tired otherwise I’d write something more rigorous. There are different ways the central limit theorem is expressed and proved here—there are more powerful ways to state it that require more complicated proofs, and there are simpler versions that are simple to prove.

A simple version will suffice here. Treat the resistors as iid variables with finite variance σ². When you average them, the variance of the average is σ²/n. More or less… this means that if your resistors are ±10%, and you have 16 of them, you get something with (fuzzy math) ±10%/√16 = ±2.5%.

There’s a lot of unstated assumptions in what I just wrote. But you’ll see the “grows proportional to √n” a lot in stats.
True about the eagles, but fortunately they came in at the end. The eagle thing is well known flaw in LOTR.

But I forgive Tolkien because of the many hours of enjoyment I derived from his books!
"Following a nine-hour evidence session, the FDA advisory committee, composed of mental health and medical experts, voted by a margin of 9 to 2 that the available data did not prove that the drug was an effective treatment of PTSD in combination with therapy. In a second vote, the panel also concluded the benefits of the treatment did not outweigh the risks, with the vote carried by 10 to 1."
Care to expand on this thought? Curious what you have in mind!
Both things can be true:

* If this software system managed to add, say, 1% to hundreds or thousands of people's rents... that's a lot of money and the company probably deserves what's coming to them, civil or criminal.

* Housing prices are still set by supply and demand. You can't charge LA prices in Atlanta no matter what kind of fancy scheme you run.

People want a bogeyman so bad for the housing crisis, but it's mostly stuff like this, where local NIMBYs stop homes from being built:

Just because cruel and unusual punishment would be an efficient-in-some-regards way to approach punishment doesn’t mean it’s a humane approach.

Humane is top priority. Punishments should be commensurate to the crime committed - with under-punishment always preferable to over-punishment.

In short: anyone in favor of human universalism is the last person you want to put in charge of AGI alignment.
Of course they won’t save you from external data. The whole point is for your system to have a way to identify rows internally so you can deal with external systems getting wonky without corrupting your own data.

All of your concerns are easily solved by a unique index.

Using external keys as a forcing function to prevent people from representing data wrong is not great.
And this part you quote comes right after a description of how their primary data center failed so badly that they had to completely evacuate it... It does give the impression that they just use cheap unreliable providers across the board.

Not necessarily a bad thing, it might be a calculated risk so they can pass on savings to customers. Still, a strong signal there.
Gangs are as often business-by-other-means. Not to say some aren’t government, either.

They often come to exist due to niches government can’t (officially) operate in, but when they grow enough, they’re susceptible to capture the same as any other entity.
What I typically do is create a systemd service for game servers and attach a TTY. That way it starts with the rest of my web services, and linux already handles "i/o to processes" via files that other process can access(e.x. /run/minecraft/{stdin,stdout,stderr})
The surrogate key uniquely identifies a row in your database, which is an entity just as real and significant as the car or the employee or what-have-you. Don't confuse the two!

I agree with you that having a surrogate key isn't going to save you from the reasons why natural keys can be difficult. The complexity has to go somewhere. But not having a unique identifier for each row is going to make things extra difficult.

One of the most surprising things I learned about the US healthcare system is how often everything is mutating or being retroactively updated (assume it applies to other countries too).

Things you'd think would be constant after Step 1 often aren't, and processes are tolerant of their being corrected / re-entered after Step 52 has already been completed.

Ma'am this is Wendy's. We're talking about an article where someone is holding up their behavior as an example to others -- behavior that for nearly every office you can only get away with if you're the CTO. And even then it's probably still a dick move, but you can be a dick when you're the CTO.

This is terrible woefully out-of-touch advice if the audience is anything other than executives who have enough clout to make the world move around them. If you're one of those people that is important enough that you can make everyone who wants to talk to you use your preferred communication medium then this might be actionable advice for you.

I swear we as a society didn't understand, didn't value the work administrative assistants and secretaries did (organizing all your communication being one of them) and we've been trying and failing to replace them ever since.
Michael Goldharber - People have limited attention to give anything, but unlimited capacity to receive attention.

The Attention Economy has been inflated exploiting the above inequality.

Bottom line is the social media is not designed to optimize allocation of limited Global Human Attention. It does a fine job squandering it. And people are begining to notice.

It’s funny that indexing used to be unavailable when processing big data on Hadoop. Now that we have options to do so we now care. As tech evolves we adapt.
well its trade off , its easier to read, maybe a bit harder to write

also remember that sql is a query language not a programming language, so the main target are not programmers

also think of it this way, it might help,
you start with that you really want

select firstname, lastname, hobby

so you start by saying you want a table (a relation, a relvar)
that have first name , last name etc ... this is what you want
then you tell me where to get it from

from users

so the order is not bad , it like saying, get me a a drink from the box
you wont say, from the box get me a drink

select first resembles more natural language, and is more declarative

from first, is more procedural

what i want first, then how --> declarative

how to find what i want, then what i really want --> procedural
Another massive annoyance with natural keys - privacy. If your table's primary key contains personal information, that PII now infects every other table that holds a foreign key to that table.
The LLM is the fitness function.
In the wise words of Patsy, "it's only a model".

The real world is resistent to clean abstractions and abstractions are distressingly subject to change. What made your row unique today is quite likely to become non-unique in the days/months/years to come.

Always use surrogate keys. Your future self will thank you.

Did you read that FTC page? Do you think it's compliant to just fill in something on some website?

So your argument is that the rules for Instagram tat are more strict than the rules for drugs? Maybe they are, I don't know. But seems rather undesirable, because how many people are going to look up some doctor's name in some website most people don't even know exists? This seems a classic "pretend to be doing something while not actually doing something" type of non-solution.
The reaction is most interesting, but there are three concerns:

(1) It presumably requires concentrated CO2. It's not trivial to concentrate CO2 from the air without the appropriate technology.

(2) Pure hydrogen can risk an explosion.

(3) What does one do with the methane? Also, it too can risk a fire.

For these reasons, this is not a reaction that one would seek to do at home.
Apple puts effort into making you go to them for repair parts. Any deterrence against thieves is simply a fringe benefit. Don't credit them for something that isn't actually their goal.

> Wouldn't be surprised if they licensed the hardware block from RSA.

The only hardware crypto blocks the Wii had were SHA and AES, there wasn't a hardware RSA block.

Which makes sense, it had to run both SHA and AES over large blocks of data; But RSA was only ever used on small amounts of data to verify tickets, and only when launching a new title.

I'm not sure what they licensed from RSA. The patents for RSA had already expired, so maybe the code?
> Origin of Consciousness is a masterpiece, even if it's wrong

I read it after it had been debunked, and so parsed it as an alternate history, in a genre akin to Ted Chiang's "Omphalos" [1].

“ The employees suggest there are a number of risks that we are facing from AI development, including further entrenchment of existing inequalities, manipulation and misinformation, and loss of control of autonomous AI systems, which the letter says could lead to human extinction”

The order of the threats is amusing. “Our image creator doesn’t represent the nuanced spectrum of genders! And it sometime says things favorable about Trump. And, oh, I almost forgot… it may cause our extinction.”
In cases where companies are broken up due to “anti-trust”, what really happens from a business perspective? Does FB/Zuck still retain ownership? Or are they forced to sell?
If people are still renting the apartments, and the vacancy rates aren’t going up, (which in the United States, they’re not), then no, one company isn’t driving rents up.

We’re just not building enough housing.
Yes, Apple makes expensive CPUs and has much more cache, one of the reasons why they have been faster and why Intel adds much more caching each generation now.
And the people have themselves to blame for voting for zoning, code, and construction regulation that price housing into oblivion.

Right now renting is even cheaper than owning!
Another reason is sharding, in which case any non-random (to be more precise, non-uniformly distributed) bits are going to skew the partitions.
No - you're expecting a busy person to stop - now - and create a calendar or to do item indicating when they're able they should help you,

or risk forgetting to help you.

...or needing to scroll back through hours/days of messsges (ones that actually could be immediately answered or discussed, hopefully),

instead of you putting your (intricate, and/or technical request, from the context) into an email, ticket, or whatever you've all agreed upon.

I think that is the inflection point.

If you don't have a system in place, as an org, many people just don't think about it - find the closest, easiest text box, Send-Tweet. Or holler across the aisle of cubes at someone who is trying to concentrate...

Your particular point could be solved by an optionally overridable delay on responses.

I agree that optimizing for "respond to all things promptly" could lead to what you're saying. That doesn't need to be what you're optimizing for, solely.

If being good at email brings more high value email, well, that's one of those good problems maybe. If it brings more low value email, treat the low value email differently. Or rather, treat all email as what it is.

I'm not saying there's no place at all for purposefully delayed responses.

Emphasis mine, this is literally the point I'm making but from the perspective of an office that agreed to use Slack. Which is most offices that have Slack. If email or a bug tracker is the norm then you use that, and you would be equally rude if in that situation you tried to make them Slack you instead because "you don't check email."
The article mentions Atlanta right at the beginning, saying vacancies are rising.

> RealPage's effects can be seen most noticeably in Atlanta, where software-based pricing affects more than 80% of rentals. Since 2016, rents in the city have grown by 80% — and higher vacancy rates have not driven prices down.
Keeping your replies infrequent, or short, has little to do with your inbox being a wasteland of ineffectiveness.
This will absolutely work. My friend is from China, but lives here in the US. Most of her friends and family are still back in China. We communicate primarily over iMessage, but also on WeChat. About 2 years ago I sent her a video about the Tiananmen Square protests over WeChat by mistake - I meant to send it over iMessage. The next day she called me, really mad; her WeChat account was shut down, without explanation, and she knew exactly why (my WeChat message). But what's worse is many of her WeChat contacts also had their accounts shut down - not all of them, just her closest or most frequent contacts, like her family and close friends. My account didn't get shut down.

The impacted accounts were magically re-enabled 3 days later. No email. No notification. Nothing. It was a clear message: We're watching, all of you.

If vendors collude with each other (meaning there is no competition), which is obviously the case, no matter how many apartments are available for rent, then yes, one company IS driving rents up.
> Suppose you take the advice of this article, and use, say, social security numbers to identify people.

You seen to have misunderstood the point of the article: the author is recommending NOT using the SSN (a natural key) for primary keys, and instead to use an artificial, automatically generated key, so that the SSN is decoupled from the record and can potentially be updated.
In the rails example you gave, if they go so far as storing the entire session object in a cookie, I don't see why they wouldn't just use JWT as it's basically the same idea with an added signature to prove that it was generated by the server. Why would you invent something new which is just about as complex, has the same disadvantages and has fewer advantages?

You seem to be making some weird assumptions?

Here's how I would do this:

Use some LLM, the weights need to be know to both parties in the communication.

Producing text with the LLM means repeatedly feeding the LLM with the text-so-far to produce a probability distribution for the next token. You then use a random number generator to pick a token from that distribution.

If you want to turn this into steganography, you first take your cleartext and encrypt it with any old encryption system. The resulting bistream should be random-looking, if your encryption ain't broken. Now you take the LLM-mechanism I described above, but instead of sampling via a random number generator, you use your ciphertext as the source of entropy. (You need to use something like arithmetic coding to convert between your uniformly random-looking bitstream and the heavily weighted choices you make to sample your LLM. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding)

Almost any temperature will work, as long as it is known to both sender and receiver. (The 'temperature' parameter can be used to change the distribution, but it's still effectively a probability distribution at the end. And that's all that's required.)
What's unfair about the market is that it's mostly local "I've got mine" people shutting out the people who teach their kids, attend to them at the hospital, police their streets and so on, via things like zoning laws.

It feels good to blame some big, far-off company but it's not where the bulk of the problem lies. That doesn't mean the company isn't gouging a bit though and if they are, fine, nail them.
The main thing is that the synthetic key should never leave the database and never be displayed in the app - if you want to have another key that represents the human oriented key do it, but it should be another field, an indexed field even, but one that has a lot less monotonic sequential properties that are inherent to synthetic database identifiers.

You want to change that human key? Sure.
You want to to complain that the keys are not sequential? Sure.
You want to actually make them weird strings that are harmful to my brain? Why not?
You want to update primary keys in the database? No. Absolutely not.
It's roughly a subway stop east of it - the hotel I stay at when I visit is almost at the exact point on that map - but remember that Chinese maps and GPS do not line up (check that spot on google maps and then turn on the photo layer you'll see that the streets don't line up) - the actual spot looks like the mall even further east.

Huaqiangbei is legit (and a wonder!) - the spot that would be a real smoking gun is the Huaken Building (aka the "Dodgy Cellphone Market") which is south of Shennan Middle Rd and between the spot on the map and Huaqiangbei. That place is pretty amazing in its own right, at the east end people sell bits of phones, dead phones, 'recycled' phones - they are torn down into parts which are reassembled onto new PCBs and resold at the west end of the building - it's full of lots of little cubes, people each doing a part of the process and onselling their work product to the next person - if you ever thought your phone can't be worked on by hand, can't be fixed, you are so wrong, these are real professionals - they take junk and make it real again.

If the phones were simply being recycled it would be wonderfully OK, even if Apple hates the idea of this sort of grey market, they'd rather we threw them away so they can sell new ones. As I understand it many of the Apple chips these days are 'paired' at the factory, you can't just replace one (and they have to pass through the above process together as a unit) this may mean (I'm completely guessing here) that they're still screwed if the user wont erase their phone, even if they completely remake it
