I don't understand the Apple's reasoning. Keeping Kaspersky on side ought to be top priority for next time it happens the info might not be so forthcoming. Apple could easily dispose of the money in ways that showed it would pay if it could. And, to Apple, the amount isn't even small change.

> So I created a methodology to determine if survivors could be found.

Methodology is the study of methods (just as sociology is the study of societies).

It is not a method (any more than a sociology is a society).
Contemporary systems are an organism to themselves. Guided by natural "artificial" selection. Corporations are like aliens trying to terraform the social landscape so they can survive. I can't image what it will be like when they become even more autonomous.
This is awful for security.

Not a car fan, but I use one from time to time:

- grocery shopping every week requires a car

- it takes me 1.5 hours to commute to work by subway, ~ 1 hour by car in a good day. When it's freezing outside and I have to walk 2 kilometers to the subway, I would prefer the car. When there are 38 degrees Celsius, I would prefer the car (also from the subway to the office is over .5 kilometers). Getting sweaty in the office is bad. Luckily I work from home most of the time or I take a motorcycle, much faster than a car and better most of the time (except when it's freezing)

- driving the kids to school sometimes requires a car when the school is 2 km away and there is no direct public transportation in that direction (or you have to change 3 different bus lines)

Work from home is not always and option and most of the time is not the employee's choice. All the greenwashing companies that require their employees in the office for work that does not require physical presence bear more guilt on pollution than their employees.
Just wondering what's the end game of these AI startups. YC would reject many other reasonably sound ideas I hear but this space is highly speculative and I don't see any such down-the-stream-chatgpt-wrapper startup reaching a billion dollar IPO.
I use the Overcast app for listening to podcasts. Sometimes when I say "play Overcast" it will play, other times it will not. When it doesn't play, it will either say it doesn't understand, or it will say I need to unlock my iPhone. Or it will start a free trial of Apple Music and start playing songs by some band called Overcast. This is crazy. The app is extremely popular, and the command is very simple. I have also tried using different syntax ("tell the app Overcast to play", "play the Overcast app"), and have not been able to find anything that reliably works.

It is similarly unreliable with navigation and calling restaurants. If I tell it to call Restaurant X in Palo Alto, it will tell me that it couldn't find that in my Contacts. No shit — I'm not asking about my Contacts. I have to literally tell it to search for the restaurant in Palo Alto, then listen to it tell me about the restaurant (how many stars, how far in which direction, that it can navigate or call), then tell it to call. There's no reason it shouldn't be a simple "call X in town Y". IME this used to work, but has been increasingly broken.
I also switched away from Ubuntu after 20 years because of snaps. Went with Debian and couldn't be happier. It's like Ubuntu without the nonsense.
A standalone archive packaged with all dependencies.

Installing yet another language package manager (not to mention having to navigate all the anti-features like telemetry they seem to come with these days) is a major pain in the ass. Not everyone is a javascript developer.

Then there is also the online requirement that comes with those package managers. Not all system have or should have an internet connection.
If you're ok with telemetry, use Windows. They have plenty of it for you to be ok with...
To be honest I think part of this is a poor interface provided by SQL Alchemy. To quote an influential author on my career, Scott Meyers, "interfaces should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly."
Yeah, and places I work with ms stuff keep getting hacked (big important stuff) and leaking stuff and places with linux, or anything else as, far as I can tell don't. Or ar least not in the same number or quantity.

I have never seen a crypto locker ransomware on a server except for windows servers. I haven't seen another OS with ads. So many terroble things happen only in the windows/ms ecosystem that it really makes me wonderhow it sticks around but I have ideas about that and they will just make you think I am wierd.
CEO thoughts: "Oh post-morten are always well received, I should write one for that very really basic bug we had and how we took 5 days to find it, and forget to mention how we fix it or how we have changed our structure so that it never happen again"

Also the CEO: "remember to be defensive on reddit comments saying how we are a small 1 million dollar backed startup and how it's normal do to this king of rookies mistake to be fast."

I'm sort of saying that, yes.

Some of this is actually very well known - at the cellular level, when a cell divides, the nuclear DNA doesn't uniquely determine every aspect of the new cells, certain organelles divide separately and by their own mechanisms. So, it's trivial to observe that you can't recreate a cell fully knowing just its DNA, you also need the mitochondrial DNA but also other bits.

But there is even more than that. Imagine you had a program that explained exactly how to build a PC that can run this same program, starting from raw sand and ending up with a fully powered PC. So, if you boot a PC and give it access to a smart factory, this program will create a new smart factory from scratch that is a near perfect copy of the original smart factory. The question is: if you don't have a smart factory at all, you just found this program on printed paper, would you be able to use it to build a smart factory?

Most likely, no, because the program can easily depend on certain details of the original smart factory that it was used to copy. Let's say, it could have instructions like "measure the length of original.robot_arm_7 and cut this piece of metal to the same length", or, "combine the liquid in original.vat3 with two parts "water" and 1 part liquid from original.vat7, and pour the result in copy.vat3". This is how life works: it uses DNA to build copies of itself, but DNA can't help you build the original base cell, that was arrived at by an entirely different process.

Edit: for another simple example, consider that, if some ultra-advanced alien species found a population of living mammals, but they were all female, they would be fully able to create more females of the same species. But, it would be completely impossible for them to create a male of the original species, because there is no DNA whatsoever in a female mammal that explains how to build a testicle or a sperm cell. They could build artificial males, but they couldn't ever know if those males resemble the originals or not. So again, the DNA of an organism doesn't encode all the information necessary to create the species, that is transmitted through a more complex mechanism.
Not saying the demand for piano tuners has gotten down, but contrary to door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen it's not zero - and will not be for the foreseeable future.
And it has 25 hours in a day, arguably an upgrade from Earth in terms of getting an extra hour of sleep. No other planet comes even remotely close to being so similar.

I'm personally really interested in studies with psychedelics. E.g. https://episode-study.de for germany.

I feel like they could really help in a lot of mental conditions, especially in a controlled setting with a therapist.
Therapy with psychedelics could be like speedrunning therapy! That's what many people claim after their experience at least.

I do also think widespread use of such substances could drastically change our society, which is also good for mental health, presumably.
> A function call can't simply "not return"

Remember "callback hell"? Assumption that a function call returns after running to completion requires rather specific synchronous cascading architecture, which WILL break in multithreaded code. Most of the multithreaded function calls will set a flag in shared memory and return early, expecting caller to poll.

If your API is based on single entry-point `invokeMethod(callee, method)` it is equally untraceable to event entry point `fireEvent(producer, event)`.
They compete with other insurance companies for customers. And the way to do that is to minimize the cost of insurance for a given payout. Which can push the expected value to go positive.

If a bank can pay you positive value (in the form of interest), an insurance company can as well.
He's wrong about TX though. There is a DMV but don't go there for a license plate nor a driver's license. You need to go to two different places for those, your local tax office for license plates in the county you are registered... And the dept of public safety for drivers license. Oh, and you have to do that IN your county.
Can you do another only this time in the style of Brian O'Nolan as Flann O'Brien?
Seems a bit unusual for the sanctions to also block paying a charity instead.

Well, as long as the charity is a legit thing and not some shady attempted workaround.
I don't think security is the main problem tbh. Every time you trust a third party developer you're compromising your security a little. Add a third party deb repo? Just as bad wrt security!

But, these bash scripts are definitely terrible for maintenance. They do a bunch of changes to your system and you can't undo those changes easily.

Where I live, there is a suburb called Crookes - one of the oldest settlements in the area, called Krkor by the Vikings - which has a high street named Crookes. Not Crookes High Street, or Crookes Road - just Crookes. Confuses the hell out of delivery drivers and people new to the area (and of course the locals become belligerent if you dare refer to it as "Crookes High Street"). The road itself is over 1000 years old, according to local records.
Sorry to be the one to break it to you but yes, it actually does give them insight into most disabilities. Its not like they know what its like to have them, but having one themselves makes it a lot easier to relate and empathise.
The idea of moving fast is to have extensive logs and alerts so you fix all error fasts while they appear without "wasting time" with long expensive tests in a phase where things change every day.

5 days to find out you have "duplicate key" errors in the db is the opposite of fast
The situation is actually not that bad - see https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/1dbujal/information... for more follow-up information.

TL;DR: Termux is coming back to Google Play! While it's currently missing some features and have some rough edges due to more restrictive Google Play requirements and feedback from the review process, it will be fleshed out over time.
I have a hunch about the real purpose of all of this. I wouldn't be surprised if this has been discussed already, so please excuse if I am not up to date.

UTM SE is a virtual machine. Virtual machine allow running things under the user's control. Apple being Corporate does not want that. They don't want things they don't control because that hurts their profit and public image. So it seems they just forbade JIT under some esoteric rationale. UTM SE called that bluff by submitting a virtual machine without JIT even this being a bad idea performance-wise.

Of course Apple has no qualms of running their own virtual machines themselves. Because, duh! They aren't against virtual machines... They are against loss of control!
Concerning NHS I'd be extatic if they listened to my specific and narrow problem before writing paperwork that they do not read later and I have to tell again someone else in that 15 minutes they allocate for me, that would be a first step in my view towards the dreamland of holistic approaches.
Retirement = you bought (pension/savings/investments) yourself time in your 20-30 last years in life to enjoy. You are paying yourself to do what pleases you.
I would even argue that Linus Torvalds's famous abrasiveness is its own kind of charisma, well adapted to its target audience.
This looks a cool project and it's a shame to see the code already has broken dependencies. Was funding the reason this project wasn't carried on, or was it designed to be a PhD project only?
100% agree. You need to cook your food. You need to exert energy to move (walk, run, or cycle instead of car.) You need to communicate face-to-face, instead of with a screen. Swimming is such a great feeling that I've never seen someone worry about an email while doing it.

If you drive your car to a desk job where you sit in a zoom meeting all day and then stuff your face with food you bought, you're going to crash and burn. If your "hobbies" involve "Netflix", you've got a problem.
> you could've said the same thing about computers, back when they were room-sized machines full of vacuum tubes, capable of rudimentary calculations and not much else

Electronic computers were seen as useful right from the start; they clearly fulfilled an existing need. No-one was handing out VC money to make computers of possible speculative future interest in the 1940s.

Ah I just use it to control music when driving and adding stuff to the shopping list. I find any other tasks require a human. Not because of Siri as such but because the problem is deeply concerned with context and semantics.
> A company can no just claim things and have it mean nothing legally

They can because that statement isn't binding and it's very interpretable.

> Adobe does NOT train any GenAI models on customer’s content

Today? Right as the tweet was being posted? That he knows of? They train non-GenAI models? Opinions are his own? He's not an authoritative source? It's not "customer content" if you gave them full rights on it?

We have evidence of tweets not counting much in a court, particularly if there are deep pockets behind them. So no, unless it's a legally binding document (and even then I have my doubts, deep pockets run deep) it's literally just words.
I was brought up by Keynesian folks in much the same spirit.

Exactly my first thoughts. If it's put in the fridge as soon as it's cool I will eat it the next day. Otherwise it goes out.
I'd lightly edited the first one, but this one is all ChatGPT with an Original Thought Capability Module installed:

In the dimly lit newsroom, where cigarette smoke intertwined with the hum of typewriters, grizzled old hack John Mitchell wrestled with the beast that is truth. Clad in a rumpled trench coat and armed with a trusty pen, he carved out an exposé on a monstrous contraption birthed in the bowels of some godforsaken lab. The contraption in question? A hacking autonomous munition AI, cunning as the devil and twice as dangerous, capable of worming its way into 53% of real-world vulnerabilities with the finesse of a cat burglar.

His fingers danced across the keys, painting a picture stark and sober, a testament to his years of journalistic grit. But no sooner had the ink dried than his editor, Trevor Hayes, the greenhorn with a nose for sensationalism, barreled in, waving the draft like a flag. "John, this is solid," he quipped, "but it needs more pizzazz. How about ‘Killer AI Set to Unleash Cyber Armageddon!’?" Mitchell’s shoulders sagged under the weight of compromise, for he knew that in the dance between integrity and sensationalism, the latter often led. With a sigh, he glanced at the clock, pondering the fine line between truth and the grotesque mask of hyperbole that news demanded.

My name is Burhanuddin Rashid, and I am a software engineer with 8+ years of experience in developing mobile applications. I am an open-source enthusiast and a Google Developer Expert in Dart and Flutter.

I owe most of my career to the open-source community. I got exposed to this when I open-sourced my first Android PhotoEditor library, which reached around 3.8K stars and is still active. This led me to an opportunity to speak at Droidcon Berlin 2021, sharing my open-source learnings.

Work-wise, currently, I am working remotely from SFO for a startup called Rock, which is a chat plus task management app. We are a remote-first company and building a product that allows users to work remotely in an asynchronous manner with fewer meetings.

My biggest contribution so far in the product was to improve code and app quality by introducing testing to the team.

Before that, I was the Android tech lead to build an offline-first app to manage package delivery with real-time location tracking, collaborating with a remote team. Apart from this, I've also worked on web and backend technologies like React and Spring Boot, which gives me additional knowledge of how the system works end-to-end.

Also, in my free time, I learn and share my knowledge by writing blogs, newsletters, Youtube videos, or speaking at conferences.
Rather the point is that depression is... more of a shared symptom really. We're mostly grasping at straws with our treatments, but we do know that some cases (and we assume, causes..) are amenable to lifestyle factors. Others are assuredly not.

It's unhelpful for either case to assume that the other side doesn't exist.
Tourism is making this country 3rd world.

There is plenty of industry and jobs in the north.

If the south keep relying on tourism they will keep this misery going.

I don't care if you are born here. I only care if you work and contribute here. Tourism is killing people.

Look at Barcelona. Before the Olympics it was a amazing place to live. Now it's rotten and prostituted to expats, tourists and poor people who go there to work in inhuman jobs paying unpayable rents.
This. And it seems the team wasn't able to do basic troubleshooting from either database or application log. This was a simple error - what will happen when transient errors (such as implicit locks on tables, etc) occurs. These guys shouldn't be writing code - at all.
Okay yep I get it now. The 4mv2 did it for me mathematically but I still couldn't get it intuitively until I imagined a car going 50mph rear ending a car going 40mph. If they wind up going the same speed as a result of the collision then the deceleration felt by the car in the back would only be 10mph if the car in front didn't change speed because it was like, an ocean liner. If the cars are the same size and the collision is perfect and all that then the car in front would gain 5mph and the car behind would lose 5mph.

Since in a head on, they are both changing speed then the deceleration must be half the combined relative deceleration.

The way I was imagining it was as if the car collides with another car going 50mph in a head on collision and the other car doesn't slow down due to the collision.

So it appears that it is I who am confidently wrong about physics (although I still hold that Milton Friedman is confidently wrong about economics!).
I agree, but in fairness, engineering mistakes do happen all the time, in every organisation. A good engineering culture enables mistakes to be acknowledged and reviewed in an emotionally neutral manner, ideally leaning to a learning experience.

Being on the receiving end of an internet pile-on of "OMG you idiots everyone knows the first thing you do when setting up a flerble cluster is spend a week installing grazoono monitoring!" is not conducive towards building a good engineering culture.

Building AI products
The top comment claimed "academia today is essentially a machine for amassing status and money".

Pointing out that it pays terribly is completely on point.
The conclusion of the blog are not great either.

Sure you should have tests, sure you shouldn't copy paste code you don't understand and you shouldn't push directly to production.

But, regardless of all that, the main issue of all this incident is not the rookie mistake itself, is how they didn't have logs or alerts and it took them 5 days of customer complaining to find out they had "duplication errors" in the db.

That's the thing that should have been fixed first and extensivly mentioned in the post-mortem
Correct, so it's impossible to determine the winners and losers in AI.

But no matter what all the companies will do with AI, they will all need AI computing. So it's not so difficult to predict that Nvidia will be a clear winner. Nvidia has had competition for 8 years in the AI space. Their market share today is more dominant than it ever used to be.

Probably, Nvidia has already won because of 5 million CUDA developer who will hardly switch to other platforms. It's basically Windows SDK and Apple/Android SDK reloaded.
Slightly different goals - those focus on reproducing arbitrary images while this one focuses on clean vector art outlines.
Yep, the ‘nerd’ analysis of something that is very trivial is funny really. It’s money: most business peeps don’t give a crap about you or your skills: they pay the minimum they can to up the gains and that’s it. No more complex explanations are needed.
My favourite languages are C# and C++, and sometimes I interview developers to work with them. Saying these languages are lacking libraries or good tools is unreasonable.
Julia was a plant[0] and Winston[1] is a terrorist*. It's about as romantic (look at their kill count!) as the underage fling[2] of Romeo(M16?) and Juliet(F13)?

People have to read 1984 in middle school, or at least before they have any life experience, in order not to spot the Potemkin cardboard of the frame[3] story.

[0] "so, how did you guys meet?"

[1] consider his answers when O'Brien tries to determine where his limits lie.

[2] although marrying them off has, in at least one case, been an effective way to defuse boys who had been trained as suicide bombers.

[3] "Theory and Practice" is Orwell's active ingredient; Julia and Winston are the sugar in the pill.
Three Questions to Help Triage Your Dashboards
Yes same here. I just really dislike video content.

I much prefer a long read / deep dive written article because it's much more accessible. I can read at my own speed of comprehension (generally much faster than a video) and I can easily jump around without losing context.

But I'm not very typical I guess.
I have invested in Nvidia 8 years ago. So if AI becomes huge and replaces me than I'll simply retire on my shares otherwise I'll still have a job. Investing in Nvidia is called hedging your job :)
A Google search does that well enough for me on its own
Indeed, which is why I ended up my original post with "by itself". Changing the state is a necessary, but not sufficient action.
