"I was very interested in that question. And one of the places that I focused on was the MSRC, which is short for Microsoft Security Response Center. This center is like a clearing house for reports of security bugs, and it was Harris' very first stop when he began warning colleagues of the flaw that he discovered. But the issue is that the center itself was understaffed and underresourced. And one employee who used to work there told me that staff is trained to think of cases in terms of how can I get to won't fix. So this center also clashed with the product teams."

I used to work for the MSRC. He's right that it was understaffed and underresourced. It's one of the reasons I quit, same for many of my ex-colleagues. But I disagree with his characterization of us trying to find any way to get cases to Won't Fix. The fact is, we got many, many reports that were genuinely not vulns, and therefore shouldn't be prioritized for fixing from a security standpoint. Yes, occasionally reports may be incorrectly analyzed but that's not because we were trying to get them to Won't Fix. It's just people making mistakes now and then.

"And, you know, another big issue there is that they're clashing with the product teams that they need to fix the actual issues. So they would bring a security vulnerability to a product group. They'd say, you need to fix this flaw. But those groups were often unmotivated to act fast, if at all, because compensation is tied to the release of new products and features."

That's true in part, but it varies wildly between product teams. Some were incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, some were clueless about security, some just didn't prioritize it.

Sometimes the fix was insufficient. When I was there, MSRC wouldn't check if the fix did what it was supposed to do, except in occasional cases where we were explicitly asked to check or if it was a particularly risky case that needed the extra scrutiny. But like he says, we were understaffed and underresourced, we simply didn't have the time to do this for every case.
No one banned unlimited, you suggested.

We have a number of mobile services in the UK who explicitly offer routers with WiFi slots for replacing your home broadband with unlimited SIMs. I have used them in the past to replace the wired internet when there has been line maintenance that took out the broadband for a couple of days.

4G alone can get you a nice stable 100Mb/s.

You seem to be defending a shitty deal that happening in North America, without any clear reason.
ASML is going to remain a monopoly and whatever Chinese alternative that there may be is going to stay in China for the foreseeable future.

However because the Chinese electronics industry is so big and they rely so much on imports, when they are building alternatives to the US-controlled semiconductor supply chain (ASML, Applied Materials, TSMC etc.), it will matter at one point for ASML even if the Chinese tools and final products are never exported.
> It depends by whom this code was written

This is really just a hand-wave. You are saying "maybe there's some difficult to read lisp code out there, so lisp might not always be easier", whereas I am talking about objective measures. That is the exact same program translated between the two representations. This can be accomplished by taking the lisp code, reversing it, and removing the brackets. Note the opposite direction is much harder because information is lost. The lisp source code encodes more information, and what is added is highly relevant to the process of reading it. When, as in Forth, this information is not given, it must be computed which is more mentally taxing hence making Forth code harder to read.

> Define harder

The human mind is a computer. Operations on this computer require energy, as much has been verified scientifically. Reading a program can be seen as an operation in this computer, as I have previously defined. Reading a Forth program requires a greater use of working memory to store items of the stack, and hence is more difficult as this is an extremely scarce resource. Using more working memory also implies an increased number of operations, so a higher time complexity as well as space. Forth code also requires more accesses to long term memory for arities. The human mind is not nearly as subjective as you take it to be, many aspects of it have been measured and observed. In the long term, pattern recognition kicks in and the problem begins to lessen but this is analogous to function memoisation. That a function can be memoised does not prove it is easy to compute, just that after putting enough work in you don't have to do the work again.

> how Forth solves this apparently huge problem

It partially solves the problem by writing expressions in a format closer to lisp. To fully solve the problem, you end up writing lisp.
The demand is affected by consumer preferences. The manufacturers are behind recycling initiatives, so they understand that
and you've also casually mentioned 'useful', without saying to whom.

Basically, i am arguing that for productivity to be 'useful', it must be privately useful. Therefore, an economy must be producing something that an individual decided they want, rather than something that is commanded by an authority (such as a top-down command economy).

After all, the gov't authority might consider it useful to have holes dug by shovel, in order to occupy people and prevent them from doing other things.
That's funny: do you know why there is petroleum at all?
When plants evolved to have line, they where able to become trees.

Sadly, no bacteria was able to decompose linine. It took a looooot of time (I don't remember how much, but a whole lot). So trees wouldn't decompose when falling down, so they would grow on top of each other, burying the oldest one more and more.
And the end, you have wood very deep, under a lot of pressure and I'm a hot environment: it created the petroleum.

So what you're expecting can take millions of year and it would be ironic if petroleum had to be twice in such a cycle.
I feel Recall got excessive backlash because of how ubiquitous and far reaching Windows is, and critics basically live and die by finding something popular to bitch about.

There are already many things that record our data and actions that most of us are otherwise fine with. Browsing history, Undo in any number of productivity software, search histories both local (eg: Windows) and remote (eg: Google, Bing), password managers and Post-Its on monitors(tm), chat logs, vidja gaem save files, and more.

Some of the issues floated like the seemingly complete lack of encryption are valid, but the overall response indeed felt very overblown and hypocritical.

Probably a negotiating tactic. ARM is starting out by asking for something extreme (halting Elite X sales and destroying Nuvia's IP), when what they really want is for Qualcomm to renegotiate a new license for the IP with more money going to ARM.
A household with 1 income is almost impossible for most households, they have to compete in a housing market with other families that do have 2 incomes. This automatically raises real estate prices for everyone.

This post says "Just let me drive. I don't need fancy screens."

An analogy with a phone might be to just talk to people.

I still have a hunch that editors, when attempting to assist the developer, should have memory of the last clean copy of the code and use that for inference, as much or moreso than the current code.

In particular there are no guarantees that as I am writing a new method that I have the brackets balanced to make the code around it be seen as valid code. I'm so tired of not being able to use autocomplete in the middle of a complex edit unless I ritualistically write the code in an order that is unnatural to me.

Similarly, if I'm iteratively trying to fix a type error, the previous edit was not sane, and is of no help at all. You may have to go several edits back.
> What do you have to lose?

If that were true, all wars would end in genocide rather than treaty.

That they do not* is evidence that often, people —even individually— eventually decide what they have to lose is that which they have not yet lost.

(War, like chess, is a negative-sum game. The same calculus applies to the "victors"; I worry that people in the Old Country often forget this aspect.)

EDIT: also, the point of being either a noncombatant or a recognised combatant (who only followed lawful orders) is that you are then protected at the end of hostilities, so already your "nothing left to lose" has assumed (perhaps correctly!) a world in which the Geneva Conventions no longer have any meaning.

* consider: the US was losing in the Chiến tranh Việt Nam yet left without dropping The Bomb; Great Britain was losing in the US Revolution yet failed to do whatever the XVIII equivalent of glassing the colonies might have been (yes, they were busy globally with France, so they were a tad distracted, but still...)
It is indeed very straightforward. I did a quick check and I use this exact library for my "coarse-grained Debian diff" program, `meikkalainen` [1], and I was able to get it up and working mostly how I wanted within the same morning I started it. Very straightforward, even for a guy who doesn't spend a lot of time in the Goverse.

>If it's affordable, then the value isn't going up and it's a poor investment.

Here in Tokyo, values generally do not go up, yet there are still plenty of landlords, who seem to use housing as an investment of sorts. Some landlords seem to be people who simply have owned a property a long time and want to rent it out in case they want to return to that house later (this happens when someone gets transferred somewhere by their employer). But the big apartment buildings are owned by large real estate corporations. I don't work in that industry, but I imagine they're making money simply on volume. Even though the building value falls to zero over the course of 40 or 50 years, it does seem to work out, and there are constantly new apartment buildings being constructed.
In the past extended family would usually live close by, so they could assist the mother inside the home. Today, both parents need to work outside the home, and family is usually too far away to assist.
There would be good and bad to recaptioning images.

Of course it would make finding some images easier.

Problems with AI image relabeling might include:
1. AIs overuse some terms. If you search for a term the AI does not use, you find nothing.
2. AIs can be wrong. What if the AI misclassifies all 1967 Corvettes?
3. AIs are good at finding the big picture, but will it know that that is the only 1967 Corvette ever to leave the factory with those odd tail lights? (I'm making that up as an example.)
4. AIs might give overly general or overly specific labels. Is that a bit of technical clipart, a PCB layout, or part of an ESP32-S3-DevBoardC-1 PCB layout that has pins 3 of 4 switched in an obvious error?

None of these are taking screenshots of your entire desktop, using OCR and AI to summarize all text/secrets displayed and storing them in a single centralized, location, (currently) easily exfiltrated and searched by any one gaining access to your desktop

My company Hot Aisle is working on solving this problem.

It has nothing to do with availability or pricing. You can't rent single MI300x today cause ROCm doesn't support virtualization. PCIe passthrough doesn't work yet. AMD knows about the issue and is working on it.

We will have 8xMI300x for rent soon. Once AMD fixes their stuff, we will be able to rent out one at a time.
When did Apple announce they’re going to start taking screenshots of entire screens and storing them? Windows has had a (crappy) unified search “across all apps” for years and there’s been no backlash AFAIK.

There could be a lot of things that are impacting your sleep that are physical and mental.

On the physical side of things: sleep apnea. This can be caused by enlarged tonsils, enlarged adenoids (if you still have them), deviated septum, and obesity, and probably other things that I don't know about.

On the mental side of things: I don't know.

I hate websites that redirect URLs that should be 404s to something else like their homepage or whatever they think is relevant. My brain has to slam on the brakes and make sense of the absolute dissonance between what I expected and what I'm seeing, which is taxing.

A 404 doesn't cause nearly as much dissonance, because the website is at least telling me why what I'm seeing is not what I expected.
1. My immediate family I meant spouse and children, not parents and siblings. Your point about family of origin is quite important.

2. I'm pretty old. My point is you can't really ever know how other people see you. It's what makes telepathy such an appealing/terrifying idea. You can be very responsive to your friends emotional states and the effect you have on them without ever really knowing how they see you. You might convince yourself you understand when you are young, but as you live longer, you have more situations where you are kind and affectionate to people that you see having a lot of flaws. My friends aren't really judging me, we just have a mutually enjoyable relationship. They know my flaws quite well, but like me anyways.

Tying your friendships to some theories you have about how other people think about you is probably a pretty good way to avoid friendships, especially if you are aiming for some certain standard and avoid or hide yourself when you miss the mark. It's like the old canard about getting a special friend - when you don't need another person, you become more attractive to other people.
It seems to scroll forever. Does this example terminate? What would be an easier example to try?
That page is written for marketing. My experience with industry research labs is that just like many places with somewhat misplaced incentive structures, a lot of the good research does not get marketed properly. e.g., the research marketing people will likely extoll more of the recent GenAI advances given that's more eyeball catching.

(Also on top of my head DeepSpeed is by MSR, which is used a lot in large scale ML training.)
MS recall captures screenshot, analyze them, extract data from them and create a database index of these things so you can search them.

Apple AI essentially provides API hooks that apps can use to expose actions and data to the model. Currently it seems Apple own apps does that but any app owner can decide to support this or not.

Two completely different approach.

Not only being near jobs but being developable at all. There are lots in the hollywood hills that go for $40k. Why that low for such prime land you might ask? I’d assume you’d find out the reason fast as soon as the current owner unloads their lemon onto you for a mere $40k.

which was started via China's provocations in the southern china seas. Not to mention the de-democratization of hong kong.

As for russia, their "response" is due to the fact that they don't want ukraine to lean westwards, regardless of the desire of the populous. I personally don't believe russia should have any say in how ukraine leans, and if their populous wants to lean westwards, russia have no right to intervene.

More and more stuff I buy, especially from higher end brands, comes packaged in purely cardboard packaging with no plastic. Not even tape or plastic bits to hold it together. They even brag about this in some of their marketing.

Paper is nice because you can put the packaging in either recycling or compost depending which bin has more space that week.

This is totally wrong. MI300x was released Dec 2023, just a few months ago. It is a fantastic product, but not into the hands of enough people, yet.

Personally, I feel about Apple Intelligence only slightly more positive than MS Recall.

I mean, sure, private cloud looks as good as something can be without being open source and self-hosted, but it seems nobody considered the fact that I do not want everything I do to be tracked.

If this was a per-app opt-in then maybe but as it has been presented this is pure distopia.
It is better for everyone, and it does not devalue child-rearing at all.

It is better for the family:
- it has more resources
- it has more income diversification

It is better for the father:
- he doesn't have to carry the weight of income-gathering alone

It is better for the mother:
- she doesn't have to carry the weight of child-rearing alone
- if things go sour, she can maintain herself and/or the family financially
- sha has more choices in life

It is better for the child:
- they get a wider variety of experiences
- they socialize with other kids earlier, which helps in early school-life
- they learn to socialize with more adults too
- there are professionals who have seen many children, who will notice problems before the parents will

It is better for the childcare professional:
- they have another job choice, helping them pick a job they enjoy

It is good for society:
- father, mother and childcare professional can do something that matches their talents, instead of doing something suboptimal for them, thus delivering more value to society

It doesn't devalue child-rearing, it values it more, by having a professional help do it.

I'm always befuddled by that argument. I'm not devaluing plumbing work by hiring a plumber, nor am I devaluing medical work by hiring a doctor. Why would I be devaluing child-rearing by hiring a professional to help?
Is there a difference between that and the others? I'm not seeing one fundamentally and brutally speaking.

Also, if a hostile has access to your computer then all bets are off. Nothing matters at that point besides how quickly you can remove that access if it's even possible and whether you can deal with the fallout.

> IKEA solved ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, flexible schedules

It's not really grammatically correct I think, but otherwise seems like a good compromise: we only leave out childcare subsidies, which is another monetary compensation, and do mention flexible work schedules which is a non-monetary benefit and might be crucial to IKEA's strategy.
(And completely different implementations)
What's obnoxious is someone claiming they have found the easiest way but then refusing to accept an easier way.
Noah Smith agrees as well:

"I’ve argued that dollar-euro financial hegemony won’t be replaced as a result of these sanctions, simply because none of the alternatives is ready to replace it. But ..."

https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/dont-worry-about-de-dollarizat...

I think the system is stable instable:

Dollar Inflation will continue. China will continue to have problems investing its trade surpluses sensibly. Western policy towards Russia and China will become even more hostile, but it will not come to a big bang.

At some point, we will realize that we have to solve the problems together, perhaps the Bancor will be introduced after all.
