Canada and Europe are well known to engage in such mafia behaviors, seeking "protection money", in exchange for no real protection at all. If the companies pay now, they will only have to pay even more later.

> I have no desire to read literature with 100+ named characters

Personal share ... I had the same hesitance about getting into Tolstoy. I read The Death Of Ivan Ilyich -- it's short and has few characters. Absolutely loved it. That sealed the deal so I'm working through Anna Karenina now. I'm reading the Rosamund Bartlett translation and it's just superb so I don't really care about the torrent of names and characters. It's worth it IMO.

When assessing if the company is worth investing in, assume it's faked.

The particular problem that we have is too many robot companies are putting out videos of robots doing things they have not been able to do in the past. Moreso, even yourself, you can feed data into multimodal models and get instructions to perform real world actions.

"Them" is Amazon, a company with over 1 million employees, last I checked.

It's perfectly reasonable to trust the KMS team to keep your keys secure, even if you don't trust the RDS team to never try to look at your data.

I know it's tempting to think of all of AWS as a sort of "Dave" who wears multiple hats, but we're talking about a large company. Protecting against other parts of the same company is still a worthwhile and meaningful security control.
I see it differently. In the 25 years I've been working in this industry I see a welcome trend toward doing more in the database, such that the impedance mismatch dissipates. This is from a low-water mark 20 years ago or so, when most Java developers I knew kept the database at arm's length, insisting it met them on their terms rather than the other way around.

https://gist.github.com/cpursley/c8fb81fe8a7e5df038158bdfe0f...

One way to eliminate the Java-SQL impedance (for example) mismatch is to delete Java altogether, along with JOOQ, Hibernate, and Spring (for example).
I agree for the most part, but I think another reason to use the SDK is bugs: for dirt-simple APIs and auth methods, this might not be a concern, but for anything else, you might write your own integration that seems to work properly, but fails in strange ways -- possibly intermittently -- later on.

Source: I've done this, and this happened, and it was a pain in the ass to track down the problem. Ultimately I'd wished I'd just used the official client library in the first place.

What is “the underlying process”?

For example, Newton was able to model gravity quite successfully without ever being able to “understand the underlying process”. In fact, physics today still doesn’t have a good grasp on what gravity is. Yet we use the models and equations all the time

In a way, physics is also a collection of black boxes, perhaps just seemingly more elegant boxes

Obesity is not contagious. If obesity is a risk factor, then by all means include that in the list of people who the vaccine should be recommended.

Right; but you can't cross-compile everything. This is really common in AI libraries, especially multi-target projects like ONNX: https://onnx.ai/

The math probably adds up in Google's favor with the TPUs, even if they end up being less efficient and slower per-unit than Nvidia hardware. They don't need to pay for the margins, and they can run them 24/7 for their intended purpose. The previous-generation TPUs can't be reused or resold for other purposes though, and if/when AI blows over as a trend you probably can't easily start mining crypto or doing HPC calculations like an Nvidia cluster would.

I find the structure of the headline interesting, "AI" sounds to me like a single entity there.

I know it's a stylistic choice but it makes me wonder what the future holds in store for humanity.
This is true, but mostly because the cost of bring in external air is near $0 in most cases - just open a few windows! But there's a lot of absurdly cool ways to scrub CO2 that are not especially expensive, like the video-game level of serendipity+convenience that's the Sabatier Reaction [1]. Combine hydrogen + CO2 at 300C => methane + water.

It's already being used on the ISS to keep the air fresh. It'll also be a key component on Mars. There you have basically unlimited CO2 and unlimited hydrogen which yields unlimited methane and unlimited water. Carry out electrolysis on some of the water and you get hydrogen + oxygen. The hydrogen can be fed back into the original cycle, and so you end up left with methane + oxygen which is also known as rocket fuel, uncoincidentally the exact sort SpaceX's Starship is using.

Back on Earth you could use this reaction to create practically endless carbon neutral fuel so long as the CO2 was sourced from either the air or a regrown natural capture source like trees or what not. Rockets using this fuel would even have a negative carbon footprint since some of that fuel will get burnt outside the atmosphere. It all seriously feels like a video game where there's just this perfect, but just utterly contrived, rule allowing you to thrive on the next level of difficulty.

Sounds like a you thing. I consult macOS manpages routinely. Having been away from Windows for a long time, I consult MS docs on Windows and PowerShell pretty much every time I touch Windows.

Aside from all that... if you're too good to read a manual, you're too good for Nix; do everyone a favor and move on.

Nix has lots of real UX issues to fix but trying to onboard or entice users whose expectation is to read nothing and learn nothing would just be a harmful mistake.

> however there are a lot of use-cases for data for which processing is highly advantageous.

Most use-cases require 'processing', otherwise there would be no point of most cloud services and we would only ever use, say, S3.

The moment you spin up even a virtual machine, it will need to be able to decrypt the EBS volumes you have attached to it. Even if you encrypt the filesystem with your own mechanism and feed it the key by hand every time, it is still available in the instance. Instance memory is not easily available to AWS employees, but neither are the physical media that backs EBS volumes(whatever it is, details are scarce and all pieces may not even be physically in the same building). If we are concerned to that extent, then we can't use any other service. Which is ok, there are plenty of business that have requirements that disallow the use of any cloud providers.

> Tolkien does not describe the political economy of the Hobbits in any detail, because it’s rarely relevant to the story

I find this kinda a funny statement, because Tolkien wrote so much about his world, about things that were rarely relevant to his actual stories. In hindsight, it feels like a surprising omission that he left this out.

Then again, it's been close to 30 years since I read The Silmarillion, so I don't recall if political economy ever really came up that much for other communities in Tolkien's world. So maybe that's just a general topic that he didn't find of enough interest to write about.
People do try to figure that out.

Bad example. The Gnostic Gospels tells us quite a lot about what they thought, and in their own terms.

If you are a "leader" trying to hire a "skilled" AI worker you are probably trying just trying to buy the ability to say "AI" a lot in your press releases. Save your money, just say "AI" a lot, you'll be better off than your competitors - trying to shoehorn The New Clippy™ into every corner of their app. To wit:

> It showed that 40% of 2,000 C-level executives surveyed plan to use genAI tools such as ChatGPT to cover critical skills shortages through the automation of tasks.

And even if you find a skilled AI worker, they'll just try to convince you not to build a chatbot. So much golf time wasted!

> “If there’s a desire to delegate critical activities and functions to genAI, it is essential that senior management first develops a deeper understanding of the data management processes, including what data can and cannot be used to train these systems,” said David Emm, Kaspersky’s principal security researcher.

When I say city, it means one of the few cities which have like a hundred software houses (big and small) while my city has only 5 opened within last two years (didn't have a single one when I graduated). I applied to in those cities. I understand they wouldn't pay more to a resource that had to relocate. I understand that businesses like to have resources that aren't burden (hence they would prefer someone in the same city). But this doesn't account the difference. Only my skills should have mattered.
There's a certain literary canon of "men of genius" and often Nabokov is recommended from this reference frame; people rightly react to its invocation. "Don't be terrified of Pale Fire" frames "Pale Fire" as an impenetrable manifestation of the essence of genius, implying that if you were at the right level you'd get it, but—condescendingly—it's still "okay" if you don't get it! That framing is nonsense. It's a thing that's fun for some people, and a certain kind of lit-bro mistakingly believes that what they like is what's genuinely Good and what every smart person should like. I expect your aversion is actually to that voice which takes for granted that "smart-sounding" is equivalent to literary merit for everyone else, too.

In fact, Pale Fire is quite a straightforward story, with a creative form with some puzzles to decipher if you feel like it. Or you can brush past them; the suspicious presence of contradictions is a delight in itself. It was fun for me at 22 but at 33 I would not go back and read it—I don't recall it being particularly deep, but it was a good time. I'm more interested in the other Russians now. Not that Nabokov, Tolstoy, or Dostoevsky have anything to do with each other. One would never think to group them at all if they hadn't written in the same language.

So you'd be fine with giving up a good chunk of your life expectancy? Because that's what the simple societies of the past involved.

You'd be fine with giving up modern medicine, sanitation, sewage disposal? You'd be fine with having to work all day just to produce a bare subsistence amount of food, so that your body wears out much faster than in a modern society? You'd be fine with no Internet, books being rare and expensive (no printing presses), travel beyond your local village being a huge undertaking? You'd be fine with no modern hospitals, no 911 to call, no ambulance to come get you if you're injured or have a heart attack or stroke? I could go on and on.

People who yearn for "the simple life" only do so because they have never actually experienced it and have no idea what it actually entails.
