At least my license has a document ID in addition to the license ID.

There's also a barcode on the back that looks high-entropy enough that it could at least contain a URL, and maybe even a digitally signed statement by the issuing authority.

Between these two things alone, it should be possible for an issuing authority to publish a document number revocation list that verifiers can query in a privacy-preserving way (i.e. without the issuer learning who's checking somebody's license when)

> the more friction keeping businesses away from frivolously asking for ID (and then backhauling your activity), the better.

Is it, though? Banks and even random places like Airbnbs still regularly ask me for a photo of my driver's license for all kinds of purposes, so arguably this is the worst of both worlds: Pervasive data collection without actual security against fraud.

How would this be any worse if the ID verification was at least more secure, if not hopefully also more private (which is more likely with a digital signature than with a photo of a license in any case; how would you anonymize the photo of something inherently identifying)?

If Recall is such a big problem for that, then what of Thunderbird which would give your entire set of emails to anyone with read permissions, or Firefox which would give your email credentials and in turn your entire set of emails to anyone with read permissions. Unless you make a habit of going through all of your email archive one by one, that information is not going to be in recall. Same thing for Signal, Messenger, et al. Recall sees everything you see. Your credentials and local storage, cookies, cache, et al. see everything you see, and everything you don't see, and things you see on other devices too, and etc etc.

WARC-GPT: An open-source tool for exploring web archives using AI
It looks like during last year's heat wave, California FINALLY broke its previous all-time peak load of 50,270mW in 24 July 2006, with a whopping 52,061mW on 6 September 2023.

Still, peak usage year over year looks flat to my eyes.

I'm sure we can't keep time-shifting and efficiency engineering ourselves out of a fundamental need for more total energy for a huge % of EVs and the push to phase out natural gas, but it might do most of the work for us. All big power hogs are getting more efficient. Electric cars can charge "whenever", but I imagine a future where just spreading the EV load between 11pm and 6am is no longer enough. Plus, we need more energy storage or non-solar) sources to handle the fact that loads are going to increasingly move to the overnight hours.

Even with strong passwords, maybe you don't want someone attempting to authenticate so quickly. Could be DoS or trying to exploit sshd. If you're traveling, cellular and VPN are both options. VPN could have a similar auth dilemma, but there's defense in depth.

Also it's unlikely that your hotel's IP address is spamming the particular SSH server you need to connect to.
Yes how outlined how it it was possible. He is still sceptical and believes it has a low chance of success. And he knows that if it happens it will most likely take longer.

But the point that matters here is that even if only 0.00001% of this goal is achieved, its fantastic.

So when we evaluate their plan we should evaluate it as 100% success or failure. We should evaluate the chance that they are 0.00001% successful.

And we can still be sceptical of that 0.00001%. Since doing that is hard as fuck and will need not just SpaceX but many others as well.

But what SpaceX is doing, is for the first time making it possible to seriously consider that 0.00001%.

Judging by your first paragraph, I suspect (but 'm not sure) you did not get the spirit in which capitalism was defined. (or the way I think it was defined) i.e free enterprise. As far as the long term outcome is concerned your are essentially correct.

To the extent I have read about the term capitalism, one area is almost completely ignored - private land ownership as 'birth' right. ( a subject in its own right)

It's a larger discussion though - both so called capitalism and socialism as normally characterized misses many fundamentals of human life, but has huge appeal for the simplistic minded economists, philosophers and masses alike. When you get the fundamentals wrong, sooner or later things turn sour. And my firm belief is that one cannot get the fundamentals right with an IQ of 100 except for tiny groups of people, say less than 150.

Alcohol is a disinfectant. Someday humans may adapt to tolerate consumption of other solvents. Doubtful that any will have significant benefits. IMO the (subjective) advantages of alcohol's effect on some brains is far outweighed by the disadvantages / societal costs. If it weren't historically accepted I doubt it would be any more legal than other regulated/illegal psychedelics.
If so, that's a problem. It might explain why this happened, but that doesn't mean it's an acceptable practice, especially after recently claiming that security is a primary focus for all project teams.

Security requirements often completely change the architecture of a product. Things can be built without security that are significantly more challenging to accomplish when strict data security requirements are in place. Architectures that assume no security often completely break down when security is tacked on top.

If this is a matter of a product not yet getting "security added", that again raises major concerns about how Microsoft is building products.

It seems a bit shady, with respect. I want to talk about papers and publicly available systems that are out there. I'm not going to engage with an amoral web 3 head who's got some proprietary code in his trench coat and wants me to walk into the alleyway to do a deal. I'm building an open source system, so others can train their own databases, not just me.

Are you interested in publishing your code as an open source system? Then I will pledge at least 40 man hours to the code base, doing tasks that you've been too busy to take care of, but which will make your code and clients happy.

I have background in image processing and compression , python packaging/pypi deployment, CI/CD, testing, and benchmarking. I could definitely help you knock down some of your tickets.

What do you think? A little too brusque on the approach? Or a potential colab?

I remember my Dad, in his last day conscious, with a fluid line in that kicked off some sort of pressure alert every time he raised his hand to his face… which he did compulsively because of his confusion on top of his dementia.

The nurses obviously couldn’t respond to it each time, but nor could they switch it off altogether, and it didn’t reset after any period of time.

My siblings and I took turns to gently hold his arm down on the side of the bed… which became just holding his hand, which I still miss.
The quote is saying that transmission line capacity is higher when it's windy and lower when it is windless (due to less cooling).

If you assume that EV charging is the marginal load which would put you over the windless capacity, but not the windy capacity, then in order to prevent overload you'd need to prevent EV charging when there is no wind and therefore the transmission capacity is lower.

Taking a step back it's a general problem with this type of optimization, what to do when the system has become accustomed to, and is designed for, capacity which isn't available. How do you get people to use less power in order to avoid a blackout?

Perhaps I was vague. Sunlight is usually vital. Alcohol is never necessary, at least not in this modern age of refrigeration. (Tolerating it is likely a side effect of needing to consume fermented fruit to survive.)

So trying to debate extremes may become a straw man that diffuses useful discussion around alcohol.
Chebyshev approximation and how it can help (2012)
I still wouldn't call it a razor.

A razor is when you have a large number of potential explanations and want a simple rule to check if it worth further scrutiny. Occam's razor is the most famous, it says that the simplest explanation is probably the right one, Hanlon's razor is another one, it says that stupidity is more likely than malice.

Here it is just a guideline "don't dumb down", but there is no simple rule that tells if a message is dumb or not. For example, in the topic of science, a razor could be "numbers without error bars are dumb". It only takes a few seconds to see or not to see error bars, so you can quickly drop the ones without to focus on those that have.
Tornado Cash was a service that people used, Stable Diffusion is a 2gb blob of tensors. The latter is not something you can control, the MPAA/RIAA have been trying to control the proliferation of pirated media for 30 years, it has not worked and their case is WAY more clear cut under our current system of laws.

Additionally, there's no way you will be able to force people to insert fingerprinting into the model or surrounding tooling. There is no way to force fingerprinting into the source material, glaze etc are memes that are easily defeated and in fact can help stabilize outputs when training on glazed images is used as a negative embedding. The idea that any of this stuff is a viable method of combating gen AI is laughable. You can run this stuff on an 8 year old GPU with a blob the size of a couple netflix episodes. While outputs straight from SD may be identifiable, SD + manual intervention can easily create outputs that are not traceable. There is no workable solution that doesn't address the underlying economic incentives.

It doesn't matter that the model is trained on data that you believe is "stolen", people who want the model will have access to it, you won't be able to prove the outputs are AI, and even if you could, it won't be cost effective to prosecute people for creating in this way.

The problem here is our economic system and it's reliance on scarcity and markets to assign value to things that are fundamentally not scarce (AI models, digital goods) and it's failure to correctly assign value to things that have enormous positive externalities (artists creating culture).
> Even with strong passwords, maybe you don't want someone attempting to authenticate so quickly. Could be DoS or trying to exploit sshd.

DoS in this context is generally pretty boring. Your CPU would end up at 100% and the service would be slower to respond but still would. Also, responding to a DoS attempt by blocking access is a DoS vector for anyone who can share or spoof your IP address, so that seems like a bad idea.

If someone is trying to exploit sshd, they'll typically do it on the first attempt and this does nothing.

> Also it's unlikely that your hotel's IP address is spamming the particular SSH server you need to connect to.

It is when the hotel is using the cheapest available ISP with CGNAT.
I used to work as a field engineer on oilfields and rigs. We had panels of equipment, each with their own alarms and beeps. Once the rig manager (the client) remarked that we were ignoring the alarms, snidely insinuating that we should pay more attention given the possibility of things going wrong.

The reality was we knew what was going on just by listening to the alarms. I could predict which alarm was going to go off before it did and so I could safely (appear to) ignore them. I would only panic if an unexpected alarm went off (or happened in an unexpected sequence). It is possible the same situation was going on in the hospital.
90% capacity factor is possible but quite generous, France is below 70%. As nuclear penetration goes up it becomes impossible to sustain high capacity because demand itself is variable, so you either need to overbuild nuclear and run nuclear at low capacity factors, or you need to build storage.

I'm very shocked to see that China's utility scale solar project is $600 per kwp. I almost want to say something must be wrong with that number. It's higher than retail rooftop PV costs which is $450 per kwp.

Wow who could’ve known that was a bad idea? Surely not the “most educated” institutions in all of the US…
The OSI doesn't have a monopoly on the words "open source", nor does the FSF have one on "free software". And the OSI's and the FSF's definitions do have problems, and we should not let ourselves be conditioned to perpetuate them "just because that's how it is" any more than we should let ourselves be conditioned to any other part of the societal status quo.

Especially shortly after the OSI declared the SSPL non-open just because the OSI is made up of cloud companies and the SSPL isn't good for cloud companies, even though it meets their definition.

The assumption that open source software must be free for unlimited commercial use is a bad one. Would you ever say that a soup kitchen doesn't really give free soup, if Amazon isn't allowed to come and take the whole vat of soup to feed its worker droids? "Free" always comes with abuse limits... except in FOSS, apparently. Amazon copying and cloudifying the software doesn't deprive the creator of the software, like it would if it was soup, but it still comes with a host of other negative externalities we're experiencing today.

Is free software the end, or is the means to some kind of utopic vision? Should software be free because software should be free, or should it be free because that makes the world better? Apart from license compatibility (which is a valid concern) I don't see what problem is created by putting "no advertisements" in the license.
Why. That sounds lame as hell
I would have agreed with you until revently. And now, everyone is throwing email, chat, code, everything into cloud based AI tools at a highly regulated company. This happened 6 months after they just locked everything down for actual employees because of an IP leak. Very strange times…
About two years ago,, the CEO of Stellantis was crowing that they were going to crank up their margins to Apple levels with after-sale feature bills. Not hearing that much any more. The "more crap per car" approach backfired. For a while, rather blah SUVs were reaching for US$100,000. That didn't last.

Outside the US, which now has a 100% tariff on cars imported from China, electric cars from China are taking over. Nio and BYD have good cars now. Without subscription-based heated car seats.
Why have it all then?

Truth is they will have it off at first then an update will only do the windows folder and slowly creep from there. Another update will “accidentally “ turn it on then more options will be available and more will be defaulted on.

There will not be a single option but multiple toggles at some point.

Better internet isn't always available. A VPN on the ssh port isn't going to do you much good if someone sharing your IP address is doing brute force attempts against the ssh port on every IP address and your system uses that as a signal to block the IP address.

Unless you're only blocking connection attempts to ssh and not the VPN, but what good is that? There is no reason to expect the VPN to be any more secure than OpenSSH.
> Either way, hardly a reason to make it illegal.

Indeed. Plenty of other good reasons like healthcare costs, increased physical violence, DUIs, neglected families, etc.

Stupid slow startups times are the realm of MS programs like Excel, Word and SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio). Each upgrade of these programs produces longer loading times. I can only assume there's some serious synchronous phoning home going on with ssms at least.

The article starts talking about windows, but doesn't have any examples of windows apps. I would tend to agree about the bloat, but I assume that a machine running windows 95 and 4MB of RAM was pretty responsive except for the occasional disk paging and as long as you didn't have multiple large apps going at the same time.
Why Unix v6? Why teach with a 50 years old design? I feel to teach the fundamentals of an operating system, i.e. scheduling, IPC, address space management, a microkernel design would be better.
What's funny about this and other "recalls" (pun intended) of "products" from so-called "tech" companies as a result of "feedback", or "backlash" as Wired calls it, is that the companies never asked for such input and AFAIK no one is contacting the companies to give it. AFAICT it is obtained through surveillance. To people born after the internet this might seem normal, but to me it is quite odd. The companies claim to be operating in service of "users" but there is generally no direct contact between these "users" and the company.^1 With some isolated exceptions that have increased over time, there is no customer service. And in most cases the "customer" has not paid the company for the so-called "product". Generally, no one is asking a refund on their purchase of Windows because generally no one pays Microsoft for it. Instead people just complain into the ether.

No need to pay for being the target of surveillance. The "products" are free.

1. Unless we count the telemetry and "auto-updates". Users never asked for this stuff though, it is not initiated by them. This "product" is broken on delivery hence the alleged need to keep "fixing" it by remotely installing more software, presumably that isn't broken and will not used for surveillance, on peoples' computers. All for free. There is no money to refund if the "product" does not work as expected.

> We project the cost to fly a single SLS/Orion system through at least Artemis IV to be $4.1 billion per launch at a cadence of approximately one mission per year.

Yeah but you see, they will miss that 'one mission per year' thing by quite a large margin. And it will be more expensive because of that alone.

There are other traps in these numbers. OIG numbers are far better then NASA but I bet in 20-30 years when somebody does the total cost it will be higher.

> prior development of the system or for next-generation technologies such as the SLS’s Exploration Upper Stage, Orion’s docking system, or Mobile Launcher 2.

And I don't think just excluding all 'prior development' as if it was irrelevant makes much sense. Development cost should be considered as part of a program.
You're not wrong. ICU delirium is a serious problem.

https://www.statnews.com/2016/10/14/icu-delirium-hospitals/

But it's tough to make improvements. Regular hospital design is (roughly) optimized for staff productivity. They need to be able to treat and monitor many patients simultaneously which requires clear sight lines, good lighting, and a high level of automation. A more humane hospital design would also require more staff at a time when we already have a severe shortage. Where would the funding come from?
