> This new SSH feature isn’t intended to solve enterprise-level problems.

But service level security features have the potential to cause enterprise-level problems.

Sure, in an ideal world, all admins would always make zero mistakes. And so would the admins of all of our clients, and their interns, and their automated deployment scripts. Also in that perfect world, service level security features would never be on by default, have the same default configuration across all distros, and be easy to configure.

But, alas, we don't live in a perfect world. And so I have seen more than one service-level security feature, implemented with the best of intentions, causing a production system to grind to a halt.

When I used to work with PA systems we had this really cool old-school looking impedance meter. We used to check the continuity of the PA like you do with a resistance meter in an electrical circuit.

I dont know much about analog audio but if I am remembering correctly, the device could inject a 1Khz tone that was only heard on speakers with impedance problems.

Does anyone else get the feeling that how we deal with technical debt in software is fundamentally and critically misguided?

How a pot hole gets filled in isn't a technical challenge, its a political challenge.

Developers can talk about the _technical_ side of technical debt all day long, but its a) generally well understood already, and b) blowing in the wind. How technical debt is handled is fundamentally a political problem.

We may understand this at a glance, but the solution of "gain knowledge and bring it up at standup" is not only not getting us anywhere, it's deliberately misleading us into thinking its up to us individually to change the organisation. It's as silly as telling the labourer that part of their job is to lobby the city council to spend more time and resources on filling pot holes.

Discussions on technical debt should be within the bounds of how to identify organisations where technical debt is identified as a real issue from the top down, and a survival guide for working in organisations where it is not.

It wasn't needed for this but it would be great to have a fulltext (and binary!) and reverse image search of the internet archive. Often you know something about what you are searchng fore but have no clue about the location.

Of course this is not going to happen with the current resources of the IA and if it did it would probably just result in them getting hammered with DMCA requests and other legal demands for content that the "owners" didn't even know was on the archive.

I tried to calculate a formula once, to convert increment of Earth's mass to increment of Earth's gravity for a planet of the same density, so not the same as escape velocity but sort of related. I'm not sure if it's actually correct but it was: x/x^(2/3) So i.e. for 5 Earth masses and the same density, it would be 1.71 of Earth's gravity on the surface, 10 masses -> 2.15 Earth's gravity.

Reasoning: Acceleration is GM/R^2 and planets R is like (x * Me / 4Pi / density)^1/3 . Directly proportional to M and inverse square root of radius, while the radius is directly proportional to (x)^(1/3)

Though the density for 2 planets made of the same stuff and different masses would probably be different due to differences in pressure in its internals? Just a guess.

36B vs 16B today, tomorrow you need an array of it, and now it isn't cache aligned, and more than twice the overhead.

Most likely instead of manipulating a 36B fixed length string, it is handled as a dynamic string, for extra runtime memory allocations, most likely consuming at least 64B per allocation. Etc etc.

It's worse than that. Czech pirate party also lost most of their members. The other member states also failed to gain any new ones.

As someone who ran a national party for a while, it feels like an end of an era.

The generation that started the Pirate party is getting older (in our 30s or older) and we're loosing (realistically, lost it a while back) our energy. If we had managed to establish the Pirates as an established party, then that would be fine, but we didn't (except in Czechia).
And now, even if you manage to give the Party to a new generation (as we did, before I left) the cultural moment is gone. Now it feels like people don't know or care about digital rights — even tho they affect them way more than they did 10 years ago when we were in our prime. If you'll allow me a hypothesis: everyone interested in IT got (financially) fat and lazy, and now we don't care anymore.

I think Ricky Gervais has a good point when he says if you were to get rid of scientific literature but keep the same process our scientific knowledge would all come back again. Being reflective of the nature of the existence just plain makes for the most useful story. Otherwise you can waste a lot of effort on imaginary things like flying spaghetti monsters.
Except that having multiple valid definitions of something that is foundational to a discipline is a bit unsettling.

That's not a TypeScript issue. I've encountered the same problem of not testing things properly in other languages. There's a definite mindset amongst some programmers that if it compiles and the unit tests pass, then it must work. I think a lot of less experienced devs have read too many blog posts on PL theory/testing and don't realize how many bugs are just not going to get caught by such techniques. You really do have to see something work with your own eyes and hammer it for a while by hand to know it's of a decent quality.

The fear of OOP is a problem though. I've encountered some really bad TypeScript/JS codebases that were just piles of top level functions for everything. The meme that OOP is bad is really damaging.

Tales in Tech History: ICL, the British Computing Giant
Also, the single most nonsensical reason that people give for doing microservices is that "it allows you to scale parts of the application separately". Why the fuck do you need to do that? Do you scale every API endpoint separately based on the load that it gets? No, of course not. You scale until the hot parts have manageable load and the cold parts will just tag along at no cost. The only time this argument makes sense is if one part is a stateless application and the other part is a database or cache cluster.

Microservices make sense when there are very strong organizational boundaries between the parts (you'd have to reinterview to move from one team to the other), or if there are technical reasons why two parts of the code cannot share the same runtime environment (such as being written in different languages), and a few other less common reasons.
Logisticians were intimately aware of the concept but I’ve never seen an equation formally written down or mentioned anywhere in ancient or medieval texts. They would have used a simplified version for planning - counting days of food an army has and how far they can move from their bases on that food, plus how much they can forage for and how much they can take from the local population.

It looks more like a Civ5 game board than a neat equation like the ideal rocket equation.
"I personally think it's fair to compare social science research with monks researching a religious text. They can work hard for years without ever coming up with a new idea."

Based on my own experiences, I really don't think this applies to other social sciences very well at all. I'm not particularly familiar with psych papers, which may well be mostly based on text-on-text, but in all the social science disciplines I am familiar with there's a great deal of focus on fieldwork and diving into the messy nitty-gritty of the actual world.

Is psych uniquely constrained from doing this somehow (patient ethics?), or is it a particular culture in the psych departments causing this?
Just because you can't measure something directly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There's plenty of things we only know only through indirect measurement.
I'm not sure I understand this?

How do active questions about a technology imply we are approaching a brick wall?

How could researchers without having access to the latest state of the art - by OpenAI or any other unknown companies be able to even test that we could be approaching a brick wall? It seems to me that it would take trillions to find out what the exact limit is.

It's possible that we will get diminishing returns, but I don't see how we can confidently claim or know it?

> The kinds of limitations we're "starting to see" are largely the same as they were a year ago. People were talking about it on here back then, but now it's becoming more apparent to more people as they get used to LLMs.

I don't follow. GPT-3.5 was borderline useless at reasoning.
But it still seemed amazing and what I wouldn't have thought to be possible in any near future.

And then GPT-4 was a crazy advancement over that to me. And I've been using it daily since it was available, for various use-cases. Are you saying we are seeing the limitations of GPT-4 specifically? Because, sure, GPT-4 is far from AGI, but I don't see how this implies that further scaling, optimisation, training data improvements, techniques like multi modality and other potential strategies that I might not be aware of couldn't bring another explosive step?

Also the fact that GPT-4 reasoning skill hasn't been reproduced by anyone else so far seems to leave me thinking that everyone except OpenAI are clueless. Claude Opus is close, like I've said before, but not quite GPT-4 levels in specific reasoning tasks that I'm using the API for.

If you can't reproduce GPT-4, how could we trust the assessment that we have hit a limit?

Bargaining chip for what exactly? The colony wouldn't have any kind of resources, except the wealth of its residents, but that wealth would all be tied up in bank accounts back on Earth. If Earth gets turned into a wasteland, the colony will probably die because I don't see how it could possibly survive without regular supply missions from Earth, and that depends on things on Earth not getting too horrible. Also, if Earth became a literal wasteland, all the wealth those rich people on Venus had would be gone: it's just numbers in computers after all.
