My mother was concerned that some of her information, and mine, leaked because she signed up for another bank account from a place she decided she didn't trust. She said she wasn't worried about the money being stolen, but she was worried about our identities being stolen.

My concern was the complete opposite - I assume that my social security number and address are already for sale for a fraction of a cent somewhere, bundled with 10,000 other identities. But if money gets stolen, that's a whole rigamarole, with banks wringing their hands and saying "identity theft" as if that clears them from any responsibility.

Unless you can get home instantly and actually do something about it I think you will just be antagonizing yourself and be stressed all the time. :(
I'm saying that per the physical Church-Turing thesis, any function that is computable by ordinary physical means are Turing computable, and we have no evidence that even hints at the physical Church-Turing thesis not holding.

For it not to hold, there would need to be something unique about the physics of a brain that allows it to compute a class of functions which are inherently impossible to compute by other means. That'd imply entirely new/unknown physics that we're somehow not seeing any hints of.

> Your claim is that the brain is actually a computable function, can you tell me which one it is using your favorite version of a Turing complete instruction set?

No, my claim is that absent evidence of unknown physics or another way of disproving the physical Church-Turing thesis, the rational assumption is that the brain follows the same laws of physics as everything else, and so is limited to computation that is equivalent in power to Turing computable functions, just like everything else we know of.

For the brain not to be a computer would imply "magic" - not just that we don't know how the brain works, but for the brain to work in ways inconsistent with all known physics, and inconsistent in ways impossible to simulate with Turing computable functions. No sign of any such unknown physics happening in the brain has ever been recorded.

I think a lot of the mis-match comes from scale. Most companies want to be operating at 10X of whatever they currently are doing. So there is a clear bias towards solutions that can auto scale and are easy for growing companies to hire for.

It might make sense for you to bite the bullet and settle down in some out of the way software shop where there is no conceit of needing to scale. State and Local government come to mind. Be prepared for other tradeoffs and inefficiencies.
The use of accelerometer/gyro/IMU for activity tracking is quite well researched, including for animals. I found some papers on seizure detection for dogs using collar mounted accelerometer, though nothing for cat/feline.
Based on the linked video, I think the phenomenona would be quite detectable. It might be that overall vibration every N seconds would be sufficient, but ideally you would have the energies at various frequency bands - like 0.5-1hz,2-4hz etc, as the near periodic motion is likely very characteristic - and easier to separate from regular activity. As mentioned you will need some sensor on the cat, and a gateway to get the data online. There is a bunch of DIY options, but it can be quite overwhelming and one can easily get stuck on seemingly minor things...

A lot of financial things in the US are “secured” or anchored by SSN, that’s the only reason why. That and mother’s maiden name and first vacation and other security questions. It’d be less important with MFA now but SSN is also needed when opening new credit, so having it allows you to pretty easily fake someone else’s identity for credit. KYC hasn’t removed it from the equation.

We are a bare metal compute offering. They can be used for whatever people want to use them for (within legal limits, of course). Interest is much higher now that we've started to work with teams publishing benchmarks which show that H100's have a nice competitor [0].

I'll admit, it is still early days. We just finished up another free compute [1] two week stint with a benchmarking team. One thing we discovered is that saving checkpoints is slow AF. I'm guessing an issue with ROCm. Hopefully get that resolved soon. Now we are in the process of onboarding the next team.

Reading this I am confused about what exactly this is meant to solve as well.

Given that services like Lambda and ECS are already setup to be able to pull from secret manager natively and provide it as an environment variable.

What is the threat model that this is actually going to solve? At best it seems like security through obscurity, it removes the low hanging fruit of looking at ENV but if your application has the rights to use this than if someone gets into your container they can still get your secret.

What am I missing about the big advantage of this and why it was made?

Have you considered keeping him only in one room while you are gone, and placing many cameras in the room, as well as having a more controlled lighting set up?

That’s the big one but this also happens in lower level classroom environments. School and teacher achievement at the inner district is graded on how many kids meet the minimum bar.

That's not true, because a very common way of getting a new idea is to start from something existing and then extend it.

Thus a pretty standard task for any PhD student is to reproduce someone's published result as the first step towards testing the new idea. And even if you start by assuming some previous work is correct, frequently you will end up reproducing it in some what because you want to sanity check the extension you built on top of it.

I will repeat something I’ve said before, because many people don’t realize this: since the start of the industrial revolution, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has DOUBLED.

I think that it’s perfectly fine to speculate as to whether or not that will be a problem, but I find that fact alone to be remarkable. I can’t imagine a way, with systems as complex as climate and biology, that wouldn’t have some very complex downstream effects.

Fuel ethanol. Big investor driven industry which managed to get mandates for production in more or less all fuel for personal transport. Production of which is at best energy neutral while at the same time diverting a significant portion of the best land towards nonsense non-energy-production. They know full well that the energy budget for inputs vs outputs is awful, but it's a profitable venture, particularly with high and rising oil prices.

There are plenty of other examples of "greenwashing", but ethanol is perhaps the worst offender in the US.
Even the US gov't gave up on the notion the SSN was not to be used as an identifier. My dad's SS card had a phrase printed on it saying so. My SS card did not have that text.
Key point of the article:

"Snowflake allows its corporate customers, like tech companies and telcos, to analyze huge amounts of customer data in the cloud. It’s not clear for what reason AT&T was storing customer data in Snowflake, and the spokesperson would not say."

Finally journalists are asking the question why customer data must be stored with third party cloud providers. AT&T is a long way from Bell Labs, shame on them.

Keeping your credit frozen permanently is a great idea. Some of the credit agencies even encourage this with features such as a temporary unfreeze of your credit for a few days/weeks and then back to the permanently frozen state.
Technically true, but in practice the role means you don't have to care about them. They're an implementation detail that's managed by AWS. Could be flying mice for all the app dev cares.
No it is not. The argument is that absent any evidence of the existence of such unknown physics happening in the brain the most logical assumption is to assume there isn't any, rather that presuming the existence of something we've never observed any hint of.

Software developers _are_ mostly factory workers, it's just that their factories make software.

But titles aside - only some software developers are highly paid; some aren't. And we are not "special people" - that's just company propaganda. There are millions and millions of us around the world. And in most of our companies, there are a lot. And our employment conditions are not "special", they are like the other SW developers, and - guess what? Pretty much like those of most of the other non-manual-labor workers, even if the salaries differ by profession.

Most employers, and the media, do a lot to inculcate us with this belief in distancing ourselves from each other, emphasizing differences and supposed uniqueness, so that our interactions go through them; and that we not think of doing things - professionally and otherwise - by direct coordination and collaboration, but rather through the mediation of management.

But if there's anyone who has the capacity to imagine things operating differently than they do today, surely it must be us SW devs - if we don't limit our critical scrutiny to just the computers we work on but direct it also towards surrounding social structures.
I'd agree that non-shallow reasoning will probably be the biggest challenge to overcome.

I don't see any fundamental limitation in this regard compared to the level of detail you'd need to give a human programmer. With existing integrations you can already ask along the lines of "fit a model to this dataset [attachment]" and have it infer a lot of the details, then iterate on it with clarification as you could a human programmer if needed.
You did not address the point about the large, wealthiest software companies hiring up all the best women candidates.

You are probably correct these companies are not hiring the best talent. But the reason is not necessarily bias. It's just as likely that they can't afford the best talent, including women who the top companies are competing for to improve their diversity metrics.
It is a relatively safe generalisation from my experience, both direct and through family & friends, even though I don't think it is true for my current circumstances.

The regime I'm currently under genuinely seems to value me and the others around. I've been afforded quite a lot of understanding with regard to unplanned time off (and sometimes missed deadlines) due to dealing with some personal issues and looking after ill family (damn near lost the old man a couple of weeks ago, scariest day of my existence thus far). Admittedly there are some things that I have a very low bus count on, so they can't just easily kick me out or risk irritating me to the point where I chose to go, but it is more than just that.

Of course if it came down to me or the whole company I'd be dropped quickly as is only sensible, so there is a limit to how much I can count on such loyalty (or if it _isn't_ loyalty, their feeling that they need to keep me around).

Previous regime¹ was quite different. I wouldn't have trusted some of them enough to lend them a fiver³, and when I got news of the current lot coming in I was very close to telling them to fuck off⁴ in most unprofessional terms even though I didn't have anywhere lined up to jump directly to.

Also working piles of unpaid overtime on a project then being bitched about by the CEO for not being present at 0900 on the dot one morning, was a good indication of how much my efforts were respected (I started working to rule at that point, in at 0859, out at 1731, no overtime without agreement up-front it would be paid for).

Right ... the output isn't really "keyboard & mouse operations" as stated in the abstract. The output is a sequence of atomic commands ("shoot", "select_weapon") or composite commands ("follow") that are then translated into mouse actions by a human-written layer.

Similarly, when I'm typing this post my output isn't "keyboard interrupts" nor "TCP frames". Those things do happen, but only by the grace of others' work.

Still I like the basic framework idea & I suppose future work looks at pushing the provided layer lower & lower - so the system can learn those atomic commands, rather than having humans provide them - and pushing the logic higher & higher via AI-generated composite commands.
AT&T and phone carriers in general are not technology companies. They are infrastructure companies that purchase off-the-shelf communication technology, slap a billing system on top, and then spend most of their time on operations (finding places to put towers, keeping the gear up and running) and marketing. The security component of communications isn't built by them, but by the equipment manufacturers that they purchase from. There are no strong penalties for involuntary data leaks - why would they do more?

When people invest in a business, whether it be your sibling’s business, or a local business, or a publicly traded business, they do it because they expect a return on investment.

An infrastructure utility such as ATT typically has to offer dividends because it is not going to experience the type of growth that would result in a return via share price increase.

Of course, ATT’s prices are not regulated like a proper utility, even though they should be, but it is still subject to the same market forces that prevent it from growing like a tech company would, who would have the option of foregoing dividends (or share buybacks).
