I happen to work at a government job partially because I saw how my father was treated by the private sector. However, our institution is failing at the requirements that you put forth. The government ministers complained back in 2015 that the independent quantitative measurements weren't accurately capturing employee productivity. As you would expect from Goodhart's law, there certainly were certain employees being underpaid and overpaid, respectively. Thus, the measurements were scraped. However, the bureaucracy has prevented a new set of metrics from being put into place. As a result, I've been working for eight years on what I was told would be a six-month probationary salary because there is literally no mechanism for anyone to receive a raise. Thankfully, recent events are looking like this might change to something sane in a year or two, but the last proposal I saw for someone moving out of the bottom of a salary bracket was: "candidate has won awards from professional bodies in at least three countries across at least two continents".

In log shipping cases it’s good as a buffer so you can batch writes to the underlying SIEM. This prevents tons of small API calls with a few hundred or thousand log lines each. Instead Kafka will take all the small calls and the SIEM can subscribe and turn them into much larger batches to write to the underlying storage (eg S3).
Sure, under the hood it is still access keys. Very temporarily defined access keys that going the normal happy path means you're not directly handling. What I'm really meaning by my above comment is you're not configuring your workload with ACCESS_KEY=abc123 SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xyz789.
There is some evidence that it does hurt stock prices:

https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/data-b...

"Stocks of breached companies on average underperformed the NASDAQ by -3.2% in the six months after a breach disclosure"

That said, it's not clear what the long term impact is on stock price (if there is any).
It can change in the other direction too, through management/ownership changes. My previous regime taught me a lot about how I should limit the loyalty I show, but the current lot (buy out six years ago) do a much better job of not being arseholes.

This article reads like nonsense - even the header is clickbait material.

Claiming science needs peer review is like saying a painting isn't art until a critic reviews it. The results existsindependently of external validation.

Peer review is not essential for science. Science can be done, whether or not it's peer-reviewed.

Especially when you're dealing with scientific frontiers, where no one really can verify things - and peers don't even exist? How does peer review work then?

The idea that something can be 'less scientific' just because it's not been peer-reviewed is nonsense. Unreviewed scientific work can stand on its own merit. Moreover this insistence on peer review really opens up more room for academic dogma and politics to creep into the hard sciences - not a good thing.

Given the amount of scientific fraud going on, even with 'peer review', it's just not necessary for true science and it's something that should be done away with.
Because desktop PowerPC was unpopular for anything other than Mac, and PPC NT wasn't designed for Open Firmware. Though you can blame Microsoft's monopoly tactics - in which loyalty to x86 was the prime directive, alternative OSes on PPC Macs were not a widely accepted idea either - people stuck around with classic Mac OS, in (ultimately) vain hopes that Copland/Taligent would deliver.
This, 1000 times this. I have said this and seen it so many times (I work in diligence looking at companies). The big sin in tech is over-hiring to look like success. This is the act I consider reprehensible - making people believe they have a career when they got hired at an unsustainable burn rate to make number go up on an investment slide deck - fully aware that post-transaction (sale to next investor) half of them get the headsman's axe.

Are you suggesting a disgruntled former employee could use the password and do things? At that point, I have questions. How is the former employee accessing the cloud service? If your cloud is allowing public access without a VPN, then you've done something wrong there. If the former employee is still accessing your VPN, again, you've done something wrong. Many other things still come to mind but point back to you well before password rotation rules.

No, not at all. You have missed the mark completely here. This is totally culturally dependent. In a culture where this is expected, this is indeed what will happen. If you've only ever lived in such a culture then, yeah, you might get the mistaken idea this is an intrinsic human universal truth.

But cultural norms are really powerful and can absolutely overcome natural game theory / self interest dynamics. If everyone you know would think less of you after you quit a job when it is known that employers are loyal, you won't do it. Same goes for the reverse.

> And at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I watched in alarm as public trust in science disintegrated.

It is not that common that science airs their dirty laundry out in the public. With covid, the debates and disagreements were very public.

Was covid-19 a severe disease or "just a flu"? Does it spread primarily by droplets, or is it airborne? Do masks work, or not? Were the lockdowns useful, or not? Did the border closures help, or not? Did the virus likely escape from a laboratory, or jump to humans from a natural animal population? Is long covid a serious condition, or is it just psychological?

There isn't a single policy-relevant question about covid-19, where you don't have one camp of highly-credentialed experts in medical science and epidemiology arguing for A, and another camp of equally highly-credentialed experts arguing for B.

People are not that stupid. They can see that science doesn't agree on pretty much anything on covid. And not just tiny minutiae, but about the big, relevant questions. So the loss of public trust is well-earned. Epidemiology just isn't nearly as well developed a science as we thought it to be.

And if other sciences only take a meta level approach of "please trust the science", like the article author Paul Sutter here, it doesn't help. Maybe, if other sciences would call epidemiology out "please trust our science at least, we're not as bad as epidemiology", it could help some.
All companies use third party cloud providers. A lot of legacy companies have been shutting down data centers to move to the cloud. So there isn’t a question of whether why your data is in the cloud. It’s going to be in the cloud.

Yes, there is a risk, just like every other activity in the human society. Since currently the risk is so small as to be unmeasurable, I refuse to worry about it and don't really understand why we need a conversation about this - other than purely political "company X does a bad thing".

We can dispense with this notion that EVs cost more than ICE vehicles. You can now lease a Tesla Model 3 cheaper than you can a Toyota Camry.

(there are many sources for this, here's one: https://247wallst.com/investing/2024/04/27/tesla-model-3-vs-...)

The operational costs of the Model 3 will be less, so you're saving money all the way around. We are at the tipping point for EVs.

As for the claim that most people owning EVs would prefer an ICE car, that's not true. The fact is most EV owners (54%) said they're next car would be an EV, whilst 46% said it would be ICE. There were many reasons given for their next car being ICE, only one of which was they hated they hate their EV, and even then, most of that hate was directed at the state of public charging, not the vehicle itself.

Agree. People act like peer review is this unshakeable tenant of the scientific method, when it only became widespread in the 70s and 80s. To my mind, papers written these days are usually a lot worse than those written before peer review, often due to the demands of that process (soften your language here, obscure your point there, cite thirty other papers unnecessarily just in case one of the authors is the reviewer).
Zine on LLM Evals
We’re writing and illustrating a digital zine on building LLM evals. It’s set in a world where forest creatures learn how to prompt the LLM shoggoth living in the canopy of their home.

We wrote this zine for AI engineers that have heard of evals, but don’t know where to get started building their own evals.

The inspiration from the meme that LLMs are an alien intelligence that we put a mask on to make it palatable for us. Juxtaposing it against forest animals seemed amusing, and a way for us to do some world-building and fun as well.

A lot of speculation in this thread!

Yes, it's possible, but it would be difficult to do on your own if only because you can't (won't ethically) induce seizures at will so testing will be hard.

My suggestion would be to try to find research into this. There are many medical devices for humans that have found use in animal applications and I'm sure that seizure detection is a well-researched field.

It may not be difficult to copy a researcher's work. You'd be surprised to learn how simple most medical devices are at their core (I've been in the field for 20 years): it's the surrounding safety and predictability requirements that tend to make them complex and expensive.
There's a vast array of such conspiracy theories, loosely interconnected. They are immune to evidence or reason, asking if it makes sense is like making remarks about plot incoherence of a porno movie.

Yesterday I saw 'Wind turbines excrete chemtrails in order to change the weather' on facebook. Hundreds of comments were all in furious agreement. The more I block such posts, the more facebook seems to understand that it enrages me.

The central concepts of this web of theories are:

- an evil elite is trying to control us and/or profit from us

- the elite is leftwing / deepstate / woke / bill gates / george soros / lizard people

- they try to coerce our children to change their gender

- its basically all about renewable energies, which don't work (every week there's a new reason)

- or about immigrants, such as nazi theories like 'they are trying to replace us with brown people' or 'immigrates cause wildfires, not climate change'

- they (the evil elite) try to scare us, just like with covid

- they are trying to take money away from us and exploit us

- they are changing the weather in order to control us or some other vage nefarious purpose (not clear to me why the elite would change the weather)

- something something with chemtrails (this one is also really unclear for me, but it is related to changing the weather)

Basically if somebody believes any one of the above, its very likely they believe some or all of the other things too. The connections are very loose and incoherent. Doesn't matter for creating a narrative.

If you look carefully these concepts together are just a twisted, childish nightmare version of all that right wing conservatives hate. These are devices to incite hatred and distrust towards any of the solutions for today's problems that they want to undermine. Its like someone from a far-right think-tank took drugs and came up with all these in a bad trip, then put them on social media.

Facebook? Make it as weird as possible with some spiritual air to it, you'll get the older, gullible crowd. Make it a bit more 'discovery sciency' like with some hipster music? Thats tiktok for the teenage angst. Add some Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson to it and you'll get the enraged tech bros that also come to hacker news.

All anti-aliasing techniques are essentially faking the effect of subsampling a higher resolution render. Temporal anti-aliasing is a pretty darn good anti-aliasing method, since it uses more real information than other methods except for (well implemented) brute force supersampling. It's also a little unique, since it can be tweaked to actually produce that intermediate higher resolution render, which is how we get temporal super resolution.
WildGaussians: 3D Gaussian Splatting in the Wild
That's another bandaid. The root cause is customer data collection mandated by outdated regulation. People should be able to digitally sign or provide a public key for their personal information without providing the raw text to 3rd parties. Various 1970's style government tax and regulatory rules need to be updated as well.
Someone else suggested the whistle, which looks a plausible off the shelf solution. But otherwise:

Mount a bell on your cat. Maybe more than one, with different sounds - collar, back and (if you can get him to tolerate it) a leg. Then train an ML model to recognise the sound of a seizure.

There are a few options for electronic collar-mounted platforms. But finding one that is all three of capable, lightweight enough for the cat, and has decent battery life, is difficult. We already know that bells are light enough, and they don't have a battery life problem. My guess is that ML will easily be able to detect a seizure with high accuracy, probably even with only one bell. You might need a mic in each room.

(after watching the video) It may even be enough to just detect the bell, and have a crude threshold for the proportion of time it's been ringing in the last minute or so - which will be a lot faster to gather the data for. That would be a good MVP.

Sure, end-to-end verification of software being run could be a thing, but what then prevents the LLM-assisted setup from using an analog video feed to a separate computer, and analog input back on keyboard and mouse? Do you also expect we'd sign-off on location and proximity -tracking for all computing devices in existence?

> I don't want to be "equalized".

You already are - by your employer. Mostly equalized at the absolute bottom of every situation where you disagree with your superiors or need to rely on the company for something.

> I'm happy to negotiate my own terms.

And your employer is even happier for you to believe you are actually negotiating your own terms.

> In my experience the union leaders negotiate better terms for themselves than for the people they represent.

That is certainly a potential problem. But think about the distribution of status, benefits and compensation of owners, managers, and employees - that's even more extreme, and prevalent, than misdeeds by union leaders.

This sounds like a bit of a "democracy can have corruption so let's support the monarchy" kind of an argument.

> The company prefers to have a good "shepherd" for the flock - the union leader.

What companies prefer is to shepherd the flock themselves. Failing that, getting a collaborative shepherd. The challenge in unionization is disrupting the shepherding and allowing for conscious collective reflection and action.

> in France, Germany, Italy where the unions are strong, but the Bay Area, London, New York where unions are not really a thing.

The US is the center of the major world empire right now, and is not really comparable with most other places. However, even if you took the US - it's pretty much a hellscape, socially.

Until the strong exponential hypothesis is (dis-)proven, the quadratic cost is required or you have to give something up. Just the cost of exhaustive search.

As (dis-)proving SETH will resolve the P vs NP problem, I wouldn't hold my breath.

The question is if a particular use case can accept those costs.
This is great! Really good work. It reminds me of working in a SmallTalk environment and coding inside the debugger while an exception is being thrown and restarting the computation.

I believe that this path can be supported as it is right now, and the next step would be to store a computation on some server. If an uncaught exception is raised, store all the computation along with the state, transfer it to your local machine, and restore the state of the machine as it was when the exception was thrown. This way, you can debug the state of the program with all the live variables as it was being run.
Lots of unknown unknowns. How would we know when we know everything there is to know?

Saying something "seems to be of finite complexity," without evidence or attempt at proof, sounds profound but means nothing. Do you mean to imply that some things "seem to be" of infinite complexity? If not, what does "finite complexity" mean? Do you think human brains can understand anything completely as long as "it seems to be of finite complexity?"
Some statements from NASA:

> After the more recent debris sightings, NASA and SpaceX now acknowledge that improvements are needed. The agency recently stated that initial studies expected the trunk to burn up fully upon reentry. “NASA and SpaceX will continue exploring additional solutions as we learn from the discovered debris,” NASA stated.
“We did analysis back before Demo-2 and clearly the models don’t deal with the trunk very well,” Steve Stich, NASA commercial crew program manager, said in an interview after a Starliner briefing ahead of that mission’s June 6 launch. He said it’s likely because of the composite materials used in the trunk. “It’s almost like a thermal protection system.”
The solution he said NASA and SpaceX are looking at involves changing deorbiting procedures. Currently, the trunk is released before the capsule performs its orbit burn. That means the trunk can remain in orbit for months before making an uncontrolled reentry.
Instead, Stich said engineers are examining doing the deorbit burn and then releasing the trunk. That would provide more control of where the trunk reenters, ensuring that any debris that survives reentry lands in unpopulated regions.
“We’re in the process of doing that work right now,” he said. “I would love to have something in place next year if we can, but we’ve got to do all the right analysis. We’ve got make sure that it’s safe for the crew.”
