It’s indeed his success primarily, it’s thanks to him primarily. And for that there’s a huge amount of praise that he has earned.

But it’s not due to him alone, but also due to the people that he managed to attract, hire and keep. Due to the people he passed the responsibility onto, and just as much due to the processes and philosophy he put in place. Alone having the people doesn’t guarantee success on this scale, you need the magic stuff, and the vision.

Nobody else did what he has done today with Starship or in the past with enough other things. And when it comes to costs and capabilities of Starship, nobody is even close. Not even close.

Ok, cool!
A partner showed me their CRM tool, it had an AI component that created a profile of each of their contacts. It was pretty complete and clearly had info from LinkedIn and other sources.

The personality summary was concerning as it was both deeply accurate in some respects and deeply inaccurate in others. Most concerning, it said I was "risk adverse" and "struggles to make decisions with incomplete data".

With 35 years at startups and independent contracting, risk tolerance and ability to make decisions with incomplete data are kind of in my wheelhouse.

Worse, if this profile was being shown to potential employers, it could (would?) be a deal breaker. It's kind of like being judged by your MBTI results.
I will be getting my first mac soon (I am still sad about it), which means I will need to figure out the WM. Currently I am considering yabai and amethyst. I guess now I should add AeroSpace to the list.

If you are actually using tiling WM on mac, could you share which one and why?
What a self-sabotaging setup. No wonder the mainstream tech got so bloated.
Odd, I think Musk is doing quite well with 'Twitter'. It is a very good thing that the ideological censorship which the Ancienne Regime at Twitter was guilty of has been lifted, especially in the light of the oncoming elections in Europe/the US and the current mess in Brazil etc. It is clear as daylight that those who are ideologically aligned with the previous regime at Twitter are annoyed that their playground has been opened to 'the other side' but this is one of the few areas where diversity really matters: diversity of opinion. You don't have to like what the opposition says but you should allow them to speak, no matter whether you're on the 'progressive' or 'conservative' or 'libertarian' or whatever other side you can think of.
Blistering fast Mandelbrot rendering in Rust
AVR gives up on core/SRAM and instead offers incredible peripherals. While AVR DA, DB, DD, EA, and EB chips can serve as replacements to ATmega (albeit with new pinouts), the newer chips are a completely different ballgame.

AVR DB has 3x OpAmps for free.

AVR EA and EB have differential 12-bit ADCs with programmable 1x to 16x gain. We're not just talking about measuring 4mA to 20mA protocol easily, but you can measure uA of current with reasonable accuracy with just a shunt-resistor + the AVR EA's ADC.

AVR DD has a dual power-supply with 1.8V to 5V support. That means that some pins can be on 3.3V logic while other pins are on 5V logic. IE: The AVR DD's job is to be a built-in full-and-proper level shifter.

Bonus points: All modern AVR chips (Dx and Ex) have an event-system to route events from any peripheral (Timers, Pins, UART, etc. etc.) to many other pins and even interrupts to the CPU. This combines with the CCL programmable logic unit (Four 3-LUTs + two 1-bit memory cells) to have an incredible amount of "glue logic" built into these chips.

Anyone who comes in this topic and talks about "But 32bit whatevers", ESP32 or about super-cheap RISC-V chips is missing the point of the AVR line. You're not really the ones in the market for this chip. Anyone who has to deal with a cheap design that manipulates a bit of analog sensors, or glue together logic... well... AVR is the right chip for these jobs.

----------

There's one problem. It means that you need to know the ins-and-outs of the peripherals that are offered on these chips. AVR DD cannot do the same current-measuring job that an AVR EA or AVR EB can do.

Mixed-signal Peripherals are so much harder to understand than MHz and SRAM. But for those who are "in the know", well... these are awesome peripherals. Its difficult to find competitors to these chips.

Indeed, a proper bidirectional 3.3V to 5V level shifter across 28 I/O pins alone would probably cost you more than the $1-ish AVR DD.

3x Rail-to-Rail OpAmps with programmable voltage-reference, a DAC and differential ADC is a *bargain* for the AVR DB's $2 price point.

---------

And the whole line offers like 5V and 50mA in/out on the GPIO. Its an extremely forgiving chip. The fun trick is to run Resistor+LED directly off of GPIO because... you can. (Typical LEDs are 20mA).
No I'm not arguing that. It should be obvious

When I go fishing at the creek it is not a ton of paper bags littering it. Single-use plastic bags are terrible and people overly use them. Go get a pack of gum from a bodega and you'll be offered a plastic bag by default.

Maybe we shouldn't necessarily ban them, but we should definitely tax them to make people question "do I really need that bag?"

Reconstructing Training Data from Document Understanding Models
"...This paper presents CDMI, the first reconstruction attack designed to extract sensitive fields from the training data of these models. We attack LayoutLM and BROS architectures, demonstrating that an adversary can perfectly reconstruct up to 4.1% of the fields of the documents used for fine-tuning, including some names, dates, and invoice amounts up to six-digit numbers. When our reconstruction attack is combined with a membership inference attack, our attack accuracy escalates to 22.5%..."

Are there any open source tools to do Mobile Device Management (MDM)?

Its a little interesting that device management has remained an "enterprise" thing for so long. The ratio of phones/tablets/laptops/media-centers to people seems to have gone way up, but we are still managing users and devices on by one in the home. I'm not sure what beachheads we have to try & do better.

I think of it as a significantly different layer, but yunohost's integration of many of the online services you can easily host notably often includes ldap integration. Which is at least some kind of shared infra enterprises stuff.

TF2 was one the first major game to introduce a F2P+microtransactions+loot crate economy. I think they did it fairly.

Paid content was always for purely cosmetic changes (with some very small exceptions, removed in 2013). You could pay for items if you want, but they also were granted to you weekly entirely for free.

You could/can purchase every weapon in the game for about $5 total.

I played TF2 at a competitive level for a year without spending a cent on the game.

We will probably perform a human mission and return samples before a robot goes and picks up the Perseverance samples.

We’ve been mars-capable since Apollo. It’s a matter of will, which is a political function of cost, which is falling rapidly.
I’m not sure how I would measure this, but it doesn’t match my experience.

I have a Gen 3 WP PVS-14 that I use quite a bit. There is sufficient IR light outdoors pretty much all the time to see quite clearly with it, even with a new moon. The only time it’s difficult to use passively is if it’s extremely overcast. Even then, the tiny, weak IR LED on the device itself is enough to reach out to 50 yards or so.
How can it take 2 months on foot, yet only 1 month per horse, when a horse can only travel between 25-35 miles a day, which is not twice as far as a human can travel in a day, but about equal?
The original comment I was replying to explicitly asked about the “phantom shares” theories. When I said don’t go down that rabbit role, that is what I was referring to. Not the real market dynamics behind the price movement. And I’m not hostile towards anyone who believes in that, I myself used to believe it. I just think it’s a waste of time because there is zero proof that phantom shares of GameStop even exist. GameStop has also carried out two dilutions since this whole thing started, raising about $2B. If anyone is creating “phantom shares” and selling them to people, it’s the company itself. These theories are dangerous because they rope in people who don’t know enough to know better.
Can anyone summarize how much risk? I don't see that in the abstract. And how much amount of xylitol where it becomes a risk? (We all know, everything can kill you in the right volumes, even water, but there are also healthy volumes.)

> It's pretty trivial. Put mass in between you and space.

Seems like you quite confident. So go on. Expand on that a bit... its trivial after all.

You will teleport all that mass to ELO? Or use tracker beam to capture asteroid and space mine it to smelt shielding.

I am super curious how you solve it trivially.

You downvote but dont explain this trivial solution. Am I asking too much? Calling someone out to explain something is offensive or something?

Beats me. What does simulation mean in this context?
Yes, but there are already higher performance aircraft available beyond a Cessna and pilots still flock to what they can afford.

There is no regulation preventing aircraft manufacturers from selling GA performance beasts. There is just not a big enough market to sell into to make it sustain a business.

Who's Keeping the Python Ecosystem Safe?
I didn't mean it as a slippery slope argument, rather an explanation of why calling "this in particular" immoral is probably just one person drawing the line in such a way that what they need/want is perfectly covered. It's more likely that their changing needs/wants move that bar, than that the moving bar changes their needs/wants.

So "buying a house and purposefully leaving it empty is immoral" is bound to change the moment they purchase a second, empty house.

Years ago I hosted some African refugees in my home for a short time while more appropriate accommodation was in the works. I cannot describe the feeling I had seeing one of the children understand how a modern toilet works: we do our business in a bunch of clean water, and then dump a bunch more clean water to take it away. Given their circumstances this was probably the most immoral thing we could have done in the modern world.

It's a selection/survivor bias going on too. The public doesn't want to read about some incremental gain in some subfield they have no expertise in. People interested in those are reading the journals and preprints and mailing lists and such.

Unfortunately, that means what typically makes it to widely shared mainstream science news is the clickbait sensationalist marketing hype. Sober analysis isn't good for TikTok...
I was definitely alive at the time and remember no such moral panic. I remember how much more acceptable it was in the 80's and 90's, even in upper middle class families to have 'tv dinners' and I think even for a time in the 70's and earlier (though I wasn't alive) dining out on fast food was a fashionable novelty. I very strongly remember when there was a discernible cultural shift which saw the likes of Whole Foods going mainstream and then the shift after that when even regular grocery stores started to have organic food and in-store bakeries which they didn't have before. And fast food chains started to consciously introduce salads and drop trans-fats and make other changes to seem more healthy. The shift started before Super-size me but I remember how shocking it was and how it helped to define the new zeitgeist that books like Erich Schlosser's Fast Food Nation were also helping to create. I think Super-Size me was even directly responsible for the fast food chains changing their menu part.

I kinda agree with your position, but I don’t share your optimistic outlook regarding Israel fate if it loses US support. I think the Arab world is mostly at peace with Israel because of US support, and Russia/China are only thinly supporting other nations because US has such a large stronghold via Israel that make really little sense economically. If Israel loses US support, this calculation changes wildly, and I’m kinda skeptic that Israel could pivot that quickly to other patron, the chaos on the power struggle between factions would create enough delay.

My impression yet is that unless something radically changes, I don’t think Israel would lose US, the power vacuum in the region would be filled by somebody else, something US is unlikely to allow. Despite the show, I don’t believe Biden/Netanyahu’s fallout; it’s simply the only way Biden can do at least the tiny amount of damage control that allows him to keep the most of Jewish/leftist voting blocks.

Anonymous Speaks: the inside story of the HBGary hack (2011)
I wonder how much this generalizes to other sugar alcohols, I've got some erythritol in the cupboard...
I agree. Especially the ownership thing.

Tangent:

I remember my mother, in the 1980s, getting a parking ticket. So she had to go to the local police officer. We were a tiny town, a village almost. But there was a police station. And the officer was in charge of this case. He talked to my mother. She explained. And he ended up saying that in this case, he’d be willing to make an exception.

Fast forward to today. I drive to school in the morning. There’s a van at the side of the road. It’s not even police; some kind of contractor. Out on the road, there’s a fancy radar/speed trap thing. They probably paid €100,000 of taxpayer money for it, plus a servicing contract. Were probably promised that it’s gonna pay for itself within two years. And now the two dudes sit inside the van. The machine is doing the work. Tickets are being sent out automatically by a computer system. And there is literally nobody who owns the process.

It is an abstract machinery, turning citizens into objects.

My mother and the policeman, as a result of the encounter, had reached an understanding. They became partners in the higher principle. There was a true connection between the citizens and the state. The state had a face, and there was a local representative who was in charge.

Today, the state has no face. Even the judges in the legal system just act as tiny wheels in the machinery. It’s hard to find anyone whoever owns anything. Much less owns up to anything.

"...we develop a new class of DNSSEC-based algorithmic complexity attacks on DNS, we dub KeyTrap attacks. All popular DNS implementations and services are vulnerable. With just a single DNS packet, the KeyTrap attacks lead to a 2.000.000x spike in CPU instruction count in vulnerable DNS resolvers, stalling some for as long as 16 hours. This devastating effect prompted major DNS vendors to refer to KeyTrap as the worst attack on DNS ever discovered. Exploiting KeyTrap, an attacker could effectively disable Internet access in any system utilizing a DNSSEC-validating resolver..."

Pre-Skylake Intel never had proper Vulkan support (on Linux at least) so it's a non issue.

I use a 2015 Skylake laptop for most of my graphics programming project and it's got full Vulkan 1.3 and wide set of features. The hardware doesn't do mesh shaders or Ray tracing but apart from that every new feature is available.

Not updating drivers is a problem, especially on mobile. Thankfully auto updaters are very common these days.

Great read! Elias always does great work.
This article sent me down a rabbit-hole about device cgroup rules, since the concept was foreign to me.

Bottom line here is that these rules look cryptic because they map to device _numbers and types_ as enumerated by the kernel. Some like `/dev/sda` translating to `b 8:0` are probably going to be consistent between different Linuxes. The rest? I have no idea.

The rule syntax is what the kernel itself uses, so that isn't Docker's fault. Still, I would love to be able to say `/dev/sda rwm` instead of `b 8:0 rwm`, by letting the Docker daemon automate the path-to-cgroup-rule translation. It would be far more docker-compose friendly. Even better, like for the sake of this article, would be to have known semantic names like 'gpu', '3daccelerator', and 'primarystorage'. Anything to make docker-compose files more useful to other people.
