well thats ruined my weekend.

I was going swimming in the local sewage river, the river thames.

I shall give that a miss now and install some extra oxygen cylinders in my undergroud fallout shelter.

Just when you think your winning and turning the tide against compelete world wide destruction something like this comes along.

Well, wasn't it Hitler that pulled the US out of the Depression by forcing it to spend 40% of GDP of military?

Keynes just suggested, that there may be better options to end a recession than to fight a war.

Argentina, like most South American countries, has too much red tape, too much bureaucracy, too much corruption, too many people with entitlement. I don't think Keynes has much to do with it. And please spare me the ideas of god' ol Ludwig who has not worked one day of his life in private entrerprises.
Those are just government programs (and even there it's missing a lot). Most research in the US is funded by the industry nowadays. But you can still easily make the case that the US government alone spent more than one trillion dollars on research in the last decade, even without looking at other countries [1]. And the EU spends a lot on the federal government level as well.

* without already labelled training data (assuming you're referring to causal LLMs).

If you have labelled training data (or semi-labelled), BERT takes the cake, both in terms of accuracy and efficiency. In fact, you can have luck with getting a CLM to generate noisy labels and then training BERT/RoBERTa on that to get a robust strong classifier.
Blogger is still around. Themes look very old fashioned but I think overall it's good enough to publish. This blog https://www.filfre.net/2024/07/the-later-years-of-douglas-ad... was on first page on HN a couple of days ago and it is blogger.

I think it has to do with the fact that this is not only about prisons. Those private prisons, doesn't matter their number, also represent a risk to other aspects of society. You are only measuring effects on prisons themselves.
The problem is that Google infra requires everything running to be new. There is a build horizon of 6 months. Everything built with code older than 6 months is not able to run on Borg. And since Google deprecates many internal infra tools/libraries routinely, a team is required to make sure the service remains up-to-date. Google doesn't want to pay for such maintenance.

Your job is to make your users happy. If you spend 2x the amount of time to build a blazing fast UI compared to a normal speed UI, then the question is if you maybe had better spent the time on things your users wanted, like features. Features are not everything, but code that is faster than necessary (or has lower memory footprint) just doesn't bring much to the table from the user's perspective, especially for UI programs. If you were writing an OS kernel or a browser, then maybe (probably even) Rust is a better choice.
In one example, there (most likely) aren't any innocent civilians hanging around. In the other there will certainly be innocent civilians on the other end.

Which reminds me of one of my favourite memes:

I invite my closest friends and family to a gender reveal party, but when I open the box with maniacal flourish instead of pink or blue balloons, a television screen is revealed.

I dim the lights remotely as we hear Cate Blanchett say, “The world is changed. I feel it in the water.”

Too late, they realise.

The pregnancy? A scam.

The Lord of the Rings editions? Extended.

The doors? Locked.

For the same reason people want to automate their homes, or the industries run with lots of robots, etc: because it increases productivity. The repair shop could be monitoring for usage, for adequate performance of hydraulics, long-term performance statistics, some 3rd-party gets notified to fix it before it's totally unusable, etc.

I have a friend that is a car mechanic. The amount of automation he works with is fascinating.

Sure, lifts and whatnot should be in a separate network, etc, but even banks and federal agencies screw up network security routinely. Expecting top-tier security posture from repair shops is unrealistic. So yes, they will install a security agent on their Windows machines because it looks like a good idea (it really is) without having the faintest clue about all the implications. C'est la vie.
this is such a hilariously bad take that I have no hope that anything will ever change

In the past few years I've tried Proton, Mailbox.org and now I'm with Posteo.de. Unfortunately they don't support custom domains, but I use SimpleLogin to solve this problem. Overall I'm pretty happy with this setup.
By 'objectively' do you mean something like:

"A subjective but widely/generally agreed Average Utilitarianism with high distribution of utility (e.g. low Gini Coefficient)"?

Water Aid immediately springs to my mind, but it is no longer recommended by GiveWell. https://www.givewell.org/international/health/water. Which highlights some of the problems with this objectivity and effort.

Perhaps malaria charities are the current 'best bang for buck' / best targeting 'a better world' with the fewest competing interests.
ER worker here. It really depends on the details. If she was C-STAT positive with last known normal within three hours, you assume stroke, activate the stroke team, and everything moves very quickly. This is where every minute counts, because you can do clot busting to recover brain function.

The fact that she was discharged without an overnight admit suggests to me that the MRI did not show a stroke, or perhaps she was outside the treatment window when she went to the hospital.
Yep. And even aside from security, its a nightmare needing to maintain multiple versions of a product. "Oh, our software is crashing? What version do you have? Oh, 4.5. Well, update 4.7 from 2 years ago may fix your problem, but we've also released major versions 5 and 6 since then - no, I'm not trying to upsell you ma'am. We'll pull up the code from that version and see if we can figure out the problem."

Having evergreen software that just keeps itself up to date is marvellous. The Google Docs team only needs to care about the current version of their software. There are no documents saved with an old version. There's no need to backport fixes to old versions, and no QA teams that need to test backported security updates on 10 year old hardware.

Its just a shame about, y'know, the aptly named crowdstrike.

That was very lucky then. USB parallel ports adapters are only intended to work with printers. They fail with any hardware that does custom signalling over the parallel port.
The best thing I ever did for work was to get a notebook and keep a running todo. Every few days I start a new entry, copying over old items and ignoring items that aren't important anymore. I then prioritise my work and get going. This has been my constant over the last 15 years and has always served me well (very low friction, easy to use pen and paper to jot out ideas/thoughts/todos).

I have expanded that a bit in the few years. I now also use Obsidian as my digital wiki. If I'm researching topics, etc. I store it in Obsidian. It's basically my second brain and really helps when I need to remember the details of something I looked at months in the past.

The other thing I started doing is keeping a running work journal in a Google doc where I summarize what I did each day. This is more out of necessity, as I need to write my performance review each year and I use this to summarize what I did.
FUD(Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt), an high usage on desktops(we use ms because the executives know it from their computers), an license model that gets better for the buyer the microsoft products you use, bribes to computer manufacturers so that computers come preinstalled with windows and EEE(Embrace, Extend and Extinguish).
If the file was signed, wouldn't that have prevented the corrupted transmission file from being loaded.

I assume if the signed file was hacked (or parts missing), then it wouldn't pass verification.

this should ring alarm bells for the other south asian neighbours who shared similar colonialism past.

socialist policies for the marginalized several decades ago seems to always bite back when leaders don't bring out more opportunities and instead play with the politics of handing out favourable access.

if some of these countries dream to call themselves developed in the future, they need to introspect whether you would need quotas and reservations after achieving it.
You might be interested to use Intel VTune then if you have an Intel CPU. I believe it has a profiling option that shows memory bandwidth over time [1].

I fail to see how these two things are in conflict. I don't know of any grid operators that are advocating for a baseload generation free grid, of course solar and wind are great too, much cheaper then well everything elss at this point, but storage onky goes so far, a reliable grid needs base gen

yea I don't need an attack on a weak system, I mean the authorized legal normal way of unlocking BL from Windows when you have the right credentials. Windows might not be able to unlock BitLocker with just your password.

I don't know how common it is to disable TPM-stored keys in companies, but on personal licenses, you need group policy to even allow that.

Although this is moot if Windows recovery mode is accepted as the right system by the TPM. But aren't permissions/privileges a bit neutered in that mode?

You're making the title be more than it is. This won't get solved by more certification. The checkbox of having certified security is what allowed it to happen in the first place.
I've done this as well, where I work. There's some talk about replacing it with an off-the-shelf solution, but my service takes one call to issue a token and one call to authenticate it.

The talk about replacing it is with OAuth2, so the result will be that integrating with any service will be more difficult than writing the entire auth service in the first place, but what can you do.

"Fast" and wide roads don't actually help much with moving traffic around as there's such a phenomenon as induced demand. When more lanes are added to a road, more people are encouraged to drive and then the fast and wide roads get congested, especially where they join with smaller roads.

There's also the geometry problem. As more roads are built and more people travel by car, the various amenities get spread further apart (e.g. more parking required) which then makes them more difficult for people to walk/cycle to. This then gets more people to make a car journey when they previously might have walked which increases the amount of traffic. As more traffic builds up, more and wider roads are built which pushes everything further apart. This then encourages more and longer car journeys which results in more congestion - the solution to which would appear to be adding just one more lane to the roads.

The trick to solving congestion issues is to encourage as many people as possible to make short, non-car based journeys. Unfortunately, prioritising car journeys is almost always at the expense of other traffic.

How you know instagram is the most deleted app in 2023, but 69% of people believe they miss important events if they don’t check Instagram and other social networks, and those events are necessary for strengthening their connections. So I build a web agent that will daily summarize instagram stories of your friends and send to you via telegram or mail. Bye need of instagram, now we can delete it and still stay connected with out friends/relatives
In your neighbourhood you probably have frequent incidents of elderly drivers of motor vehicles killing pedestrians.
They read our emails, track our presence in the web, know what we buy online and even listen our conversations so that they can sell us stuff we don’t need. That bothers me more than what this fake company did.

And by “they” I mean big corporations in coalition with ad companies.
Very well put. Compliance over actual ops or security.

I'd say that the basic user and session management is easy to implement. The issue is when things get more complicated and your customers want to have single sign on, groups, roles, OpenID and so forth. You can still do it yourself, but at some point you might be spending a lot of developer time on reinventing the wheel instead of working on your actual product. You might also have to build all the associated dashboards for managing all that.
Well, it's certainly creative. Which is probably a good thing if you're running a marketing company like these guys are, especially given how packed the field is right now.

But to say it was a risky move would be the understatement of the century. Delivering mail to companies that didn't ask for it, and in person? Using dead people to advertise? AI created deepfakes of the people targeted as a persuasion tactic? This could have easily gone very poorly for you, and lead to all sorts of criminal charges. Remember, we're in a world where a few glowing lights for a TV show ad caused a bomb scare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_Mooninite_panic

Where harmless packages caused buildings to get evacuated, and Facebook had to change its ad settings because people were using it to target specific individuals.

The fact only one company sent a cease and desist, and no one got scared enough to get the police involved was probably a miraculous stroke of luck. So, points for creativity, though you got incredibly lucky the end result was so positive here.

Last trimester of 2023 poverty was 44.8% and first trimester of 2024 with the new government poverty is 55.5% on the rise[1]. That is 10.7% increase of poverty in 4 months, or 2,6% increase in poverty every month of the new government. I don’t completely blame the new government for the rapid increase in poverty but austerity measures such as firing people working in the public sector and reducing social assistance contributed a lot.

So a program built with an non-determinisitc compiler cannot be open source? Or even just a C program that will change based on the order each object file is built? What about build time stamps?

You can absolutely open source an LLM, it's just that noone has. And you can absouletely bundle the random seem with the training data, it's just that, again, noone has.

And runtime randomness is hardly an issue. We write programs with RNG in them all the time and noone takes issue with that

Grid operators are moving to "renewables and firming" to replace "baseload and peaking".

Since peaking and firming are basically the same thing, it just comes down to whether renewables are cleaner and cheaper than baseload, which they are.

Nuclear fans talk all the time about baseload and pretend peaking doesn't exist so they can attack renewables.

Domestic cats came from African wildcats. It was only a subset of African wildcats that developed a commensal relationship with humans. The wildcats that are not domesticated have very different social behavior and do not seek out humanity (nor live in social group like feral domestic cats do, etc.).
