I had a similar experience with a Postgres database once. It only mirrored some publicly available statistical data, and it was still in early development, so I didn't give security of the database any attention. My intention was anyway to only expose it to localhost.

Then I started noticing that the database was randomly "getting stuck" on the test system. This went on for a few times until I noticed that I exposed the database to the internet with postgres/postgres as credentials.

It might have been even some "friendly" attackers that changed the password when they were able to log in, to protect the server, maybe even the hosting provider. I should totally try that again once and observe what commands the attackers actually run. A bad actor probably wouldn't change the password, to stay unnoticed.
Is there a way to share a users connection library to a whole team?
The YouTube experience just keeps getting worse. I do the majority of my watching on my couch, casting videos from my phone to the TV via Chromecast.

It seems like every time I watch a video now, it adds a "Mix" of similar videos to the one I watched to my home feed. Unlike other videos, I can't remove these stupid Mixes, and so they just remain there, even though I have no desire to watch them. They're like half the videos in my feed now. The other half is uninteresting echo-chamber stuff based on channels I already follow.

It seems like once your YT profile has accumulated enough history, it stops being able to organically recommend anything new or interesting.
You could absolutely revoke a ssn from a government database. The problem is the ssn is too small of number range to allow for that. You can basically state that ssn/name combo is no longer valid and you now need the new ssn/name combo authenticate. Not so dissimilar from user name password. Even better you could force companies to pay the government a nominal processing fee say 5-50$ per user exposed to ensure that loss of this info results in meaningful costs to the negligent company
No, but it makes more conceptual sense given the model can consider what was said before it
This is the first time I heard of Type 1, 2, and 3 Autism. I was under the impression that DSM-V eliminated subtypes from the diagnostic, and favored a multi-dimensional under a single category (maybe it is still an ICD-11 thing, which I think has 8 subcategories).

Wikipedia has this to say:

> Disagreements persist about what should be included as part of the diagnosis, whether there are meaningful subtypes or stages of autism.

And cites a paper [1] claiming:

> The elimination of subcategories was controversial for various reasons, including concerns over the removal of an important part of an individual’s identity and community, specifically related to Asperger’s disorder, as well as concerns over losing services due to an individual no longer meeting more stringent diagnostic criteria. However, the evidence for the existence of subcategories within ASD has continued to be very weak (Miller and Ozonoff 1997, 2000). Furthermore, the shift from multiple subcategories to a single dimension resulted in improved diagnostic specificity and good diagnostic sensitivity, with over 90% of children with PDDs meeting DSM-5 ASD criteria (Huerta et al. 2012; Mandy et al. 2012), and with the remainder likely captured by the new social communication disorder diagnosis.

It looks to me that if they would have kept multiple categories, that would have been a political decision (in particular, identity politics for thous which identify as Asperger’s). It seems like the current single category / multiple dimensions has proven it self to be a much better approach for diagnostic. That is evidence suggest this is a successful change, with both autism advocates and psychiatrists preferring the current single category approach.

I started to make much more money by just spending the same amount of time writing enterprise software. HFTs made it very hard to find a moat in technical trading, I don't believe you can beat them at their own game today; I especially don't think you can just make something and get passive income from it - that was never the case, it was always a job, though very flexible one.

I switched to stock picking based on the premise that the market at large might be momentarily irrational because it doesn't have the same insight into the tech industry as I do - e.g. I made good profits on AMD between $30 and $150, Nvidia $100 to $400, some medium term trades on Supermicro and TSMC.

Yes, my company just went through a merger and for quite a while we had two OneDrives showing up and it was difficult to tell where the default folders were in addition to being a huge mess any time a file dialog opened.

If you have someone trying to break into the house you live and stay in, you don't call them "okupas", it's trespassing/breaking and entering. One quick police call and you'll get help to have them thrown out.

The squatting/"okupas" thing is about occupying otherwise vacant properties.

$20M might be optimal if tuition was $0 and they didn't receive any research grants.
At BK in the 1990s we “did it” like so: burgers and buns went into a “broiler/steamer” machine which did the flame broiling on top and toasted the buns on the bottom, we would assemble burgers (regular size) and whoppers (XL) and put them in the steam tray, people at the whopper board and burger board would take them out of the steam tray and put the condiments on and put them in boxes in the heat chute.

Burgers could sit in either the heat chute or the steam tray for 10 minutes and we were supposed to throw them out if they went over that limit. Under normal conditions we didn’t throw a lot of them out but we would go to a purely on demand model on Sunday afternoons when we could sometimes go 20 minutes between customers.
Yes, I agree. This seems a naive fix.

I love how well this is written. Definitely "look how interesting this is" rather than "look how much do I know". And it dives as deep as needs to, while being accessible for almost everyone. One really needs to master some topic to be able to describe it simply. Great job.
well, one of the goals of education needs to be to show that there is no other side. we are all humans, in one global society, and thus we should all be on the same side. there should be no opposition. we need to be open to everyone. and the only thing we should not tolerate is intolerance itself.

education means teaching people that it is desirable and beneficial to cooperate, and that it is necessary to put aside our differences in order to achieve that.

you assume that current religious doctrines trump any hope of achieving that. but i beg to differ. every religion in its core is based on love, and therefore any form rejection of non-believers is already a failure of the core beliefs of every religion.

and for every claim that their rejection or hatred is backed by their holy scripture, we can find another member of that same religion who disagrees. i have been participating in interreligious dialogue and i know that peaceful coexistence and cooperation among religions is possible.

The divine teachings are intended to create a bond of unity in the human world and establish the foundations of love and fellowship among mankind. Divine religion is not a cause for discord and disagreement. If religion becomes the source of antagonism and strife, the absence of religion is to be preferred

The establishing of the divine religions is for peace, not for war and the shedding of blood. Inasmuch as all are founded upon one reality which is love and unity, the wars and dissensions which have characterized the history of religion have been due to imitations and superstitions which arise afterward. Religion is reality and reality is one. The fundamentals of the religion of God are therefore one in reality. There is neither difference nor change in the fundamentals. Variance is caused by blind imitations, prejudices and adherence to forms which appear later, and inasmuch as these differ, discord and strife result. If the religions of the world would forsake these causes of difficulty and seek the fundamentals, all would agree, and strife and dissension would pass away
Why are you conflating being tech savvy with being organized? Only a subset of people in tech that I know have the type of organization you describe. I personally rely on local search for everything.

> This entire thing is a hoax.

While the usage of the ok sign likely began as a LARP hoax, it has since become adopted as a high sign/shibboleth by actual white supremacists and adjacent fringe groups like Boogaloo Boys, similarly to Hawaiian shirts.

That’s the entire point of these types of signaling behaviors - they’re plausibly deniable, innocuous or not obviously offensive or aggressive, and they’re usually inscrutable or indecipherable to the out-group while being effective as signifiers of the in-group.
Thank you! That explains it. I must have made the example for 0.11!
Yes, Onedrive started out as a pretty useful tool but has turned into a deceptive trojan that tries to force whatever growth metric MSFT managers are currently chasing through a combination of dark patterns (like hiding true file paths from view) and also simply refusing to operate in obviously useful ways which many users want and expect (like not having a built-in way to back up only specific sub-folders on different drives (forcing paying users to trick it by using junctions)).
Yes, it's a good way to put it. Though it's worse in some respects, since AI will add "context" to the "contents" too.

I've seen some of that - that said I can't figure out how I'm supposed to do DNS registration with GUA addresses. The only way I know to register addresses in DNS is with DHCP. Should I just have my IPv6 DHCP server advertise the GUA addreses? Is there some other way to do this?

I'm actually genuinely confused about this.

Two systems I know from HPC that more usefully expose various architectures' RAPL etc. to userland via a daemon for application profiling are https://variorum.readthedocs.io/ and https://hpc.fau.de/research/tools/likwid/. Of course other sources of power consumption than CPU/uncore and GPU may be significant.

For whole-node power on typical racked systems, I'd expect to interrogate the power strips or similar supplies with SNMP or otherwise.

> in which, the CPU is probed with some known inputs to gain confidence that there is no backdoor.

There are 2^64 possible values for a single register. It's not possible to probe all possible combinations of values for the over 60 user-accessible registers, to find the single combination which, when calling a specific one of the more than 2^30 possible instructions, silently flips a secret "disable all permissions checking" bit.
Dear OS writers:

Internet access is not always guaranteed or reliable. Please do not assume that the cloud is a viable solution for every user.

I ran into this on my phone awhile back. I knew I would be out of service for some time but had some PDFs I needed to reference. So I downloaded them to "files". Que surprise when I later go to look up a value and there's a little cloud with a down arrow button next to the PDF in the files app, which of course fails because I'm nowhere near any internet access. Even more fun: turning off the cloud integration in files just causes the files to disappear, even if you are currently connected. It's allergic to local storage.
No, the browsing history isn't likely to (data URLs I guess make it technically possible, but...); your browser cache might.
It's not about "yucky" so much as specialization and only having a limited time in life to learn everything.

Should your reseacher have to manage nvidia drivers and infiniband networking? Should your operations engineer need to understand the math behind transformers? Does your researcher really gain any value from understanding the intricacies of docker layer caching?

I've seen what it looks like when a company hires mostly researchers and ignores other expertise, versus what happens when a company hires diverse talent sets to build a cross domain team. The second option works way better.

Assuming that this is actually a thing, I'd like to know why exactly.

Obviously YouTube would prefer that its users watch the ads, but are they currently not making enough money of their advertisers? At some point there should be a realization that after a certain point, you can dial that ad money knob over anymore, without hurting the product. YouTube hit that limit long ago and YouTube is unusable without an ad blocker or a Premium subscription.

Ideally they could dial the number of ads back a bit, and require higher quality of the advertisers, but I doubt that an option anymore, I don't think users would uninstall their ad blockers at this point. YouTube damaged their product and now they are screwed an is attempting to "fix" the issue by force.

YouTube ads was always a shit show though. They never had enough "inventory" and the quality of the ads was always really low. So you saw the same bad ads over and over, and they where never relevant to the content (still isn't).

I have also only been skimming the info but the issues seem to be:

1) Recall takes snapshots of user’s activity and then copilot analyses it and keep the info in a plain text database.

2) The database is accessible to other accounts in the same computer.

3) The database is kept very small in order to save storage space. The trouble is that it is so small that it takes no time at all to upload it. One researcher infected his machine with a know piece of malware. By the time the AV software recognized it the database had already been sent.

4) Oncenthe database is in hand it is trivial to see whatever the person was working on and what information was involved. Apparently you can literally see some things.

So yeah, collecting large amounts of sensitive data makes for a very juicy target.
Because body development is a science. Alterations to development patterns are sometimes linked to exposure to chemicals and such. For instance, back in the 90s some male kids grew breast tissues after exposure to then-common synthetic fragrances. It may be creepy, but someone has to notice these things as the proverbial canary in the coalmine.

As implemented, hard mode doesn't count gray letters (letters nowhere in the solution) as hints. You're allowed to reuse gray letters, but true hard mode should prevent that.

But this article is about market cap not revenue. But even revenue is almost meaningless for the things you mention -- it's profit per employee which would be interesting. And for that, tech companies are nowhere near the top.

I believe Fannie Mae is the second who made 17400 with 8100 people or 2.17M per employee.

To compare, nVidia made 4368 with 29600.

Software products these days are being written quick and dirty to be released as fast as possible to capture the market. Nobody has time to create quality software because by the time you finish your product, your users will already be using your competitor's product which may be horribly slow and buggy and a memory hog, but it was released a year earlier than your product. So there you go. "Release fast, improve later" is the motto of the software companies today.
And how about the fact that there are simply too many of them!

I was once in the recovery room with my wife. For some reason the sensor was having a very hard time reading her pulse. The normal bips would frequently fail. Too many failures in a row and the alarm would start it's EEEEEE scream we've all seen from Hollywood. It would shut up as soon as it managed to pick up a beat.

Hers was definitely not the only one in the room occasionally screaming. The nurses were completely ignoring it. Quite understandably so as it was obviously doing false alarms. But in a flood of false alarms like that are the real ones going to be noticed??
I think this will be definitely a "for now" moment until they let us all become a little bit more used to the idea.
