My question, and I know no one knows the answer, is are we afraid of a ghost? The ghost being a person who was all in on Biden, that now goes: "fuck that, I'm not voting for Harris"

Are there large numbers of people like this? Nobody knows, but the media certainly does a good job of pushing that narrative. Informing you is not their job, getting you scared and angered is.

I'm gonna vote for the non-fascist one. I wish Biden had stepped down much sooner, but it doesn't change the reality that I am scared of the violence that might arise if the right wins. Our country is in a state of corruption, the supreme court needs to be radically reigned-in and I only see one path before November to have a chance at addressing all these issues, and it's voting Democrats as much as we can.
It has been a while, but I've used Notability for teaching purposes over the pandemic. I can't recall why, but there was an exodus from Notability to Goodnotes at some point, so you may already have insight into the two.
I like this advice, but I would suggest adopting a prelude that has better defaults than what the language ships with.
No, the obfuscation helps with setting "enterprise" prices.

> I think few people on Earth in 2012 really understood that their data could ever be used in such a way, and so their consent was not informed.

Arguably this is just not consent, plain and simple. There could be no reasonable expectation for a person to believe they are agreeing to this. Whereas uninformed consent, I'd argue, is more like how people were agreeing to giving away their data but do not actually understand how the data is taken and used (let's be real, this includes even a lot, if not most, tech people).
To a lot of outsiders it honestly looks like to some extent Israel controls US foreign policy. It's not a good look. Why does the US have to tiptoe so much around this issue? Why does Israel have such leverage? What is this leverage?

I always say, imagine if it was France instead of Israel. Then you see how crazy the situation is.
There's also the constitutional monarchy-model we have here in Sweden, where the head of state is fully ornamental, with no power to speak of.
The approach taken there is unfortunately not correct. The existence of sections (and section headers) is completely optional for ELF files; you can have valid executables and libraries without them. `sstrip` [https://github.com/aunali1/super-strip] can be used to generate such files.

The correct approach is to process the program headers and find the tail end of anything referenced in PT_LOAD as well as from DT_DYN items.

You can combine that with a section based approach; if the file has debug information it won't be covered by program headers and you'd end up cutting it off if going purely by program headers. However, this is technically optional while the program header based approach is really required.
Why would anyone believe this?
Yandex (West of the Urals) and Mojeek (UK) are pretty much Europe's independent search engines on any semblance of web scale.
I've had many, many close, intimate (It's entirely possible to have intimate relationships with other men/people you aren't romantically involved with), and meaningful friendships (and frenemyships), over the last 43 years.

Long story, but I'm a member of an organization, where we have a Common Purpose, and regularly work together.

Many of these relationships have been somewhat "transient," where we were very close, for a time, and have drifted apart. No animus, we just went different paths. I always enjoy running into them, later, and take pleasure in their success (or sadness, in their not-success).

I'd say that most of my current close circle have been there for around 25 years.

I'm quite grateful for it. I know that there's a huge problem, with folks (especially men), my age, becoming quite isolated, and, in my opinion, it is quite unhealthy; both mentally, and physically.

To have a friend, I must be a friend. It's been very important for me to be as open-minded, honest, and accepting, as I want others to be, for me.

I have also had a number of fairly close friendships, that began as antagonistic relationships. I've learned not to burn bridges.

One of the behaviors that I see here (and elsewhere, in teh Internets Tubes), is folks that begin relationships with attacks. We've never ever had any interaction with someone, and our very first contact, ever, is an attack.

It seems to be a sign of the times. I suspect that remote communication makes that easier. It's a lot easier to attack someone, if you are not within right hook range.

Also, I think that limited interaction makes it easy to think of others as one-dimensional "caricatures," and we can ignore the aspects that we may find in common, or attractive. I think that it is also easy to project false narratives and motives onto people on the other end of an electronic medium.

It's been my experience that every single person that I've ever met, has a life story, and, often, that story has a great many places that intersect or run parallel to my own. I have also been surprised, at finding that I have great admiration for some folks, once I learn more about them, and that helps to mitigate the places we disagree.

The problem is, though, I also see this antagonistic behavior translated IRL, and, in some venues (like this one, where a lot of extremely influential folks hang out casually), it can result in real personal damage.
Thank you Joe, you are a true patriot and your legacy will be as a great President.
I did ~12h RAM test few times and it always passed successfully (except when I was testing EXPO profile on early BIOS version).

I also did Prime95 CPU stress testing a few times without issues.

All issues seem to be related to either BIOS or drivers.
The US was in Afghanistan for twenty years. Everything the US did there collapsed in a few months after twenty years. It seems like after the second Osama was killed everything done there was a waste of time and money for the US. It's a terrible situation, but it's a terrible situation whenever there is a country using religion to justify oppression and war. The people have to be willing to get rid of the oppressors.

> securing himself a surprise victory in the snap election everyone thought would be a disaster for him.

This is totally incorrect. Macron's party arrived 3rd in number of seats when previously it had a relative majority. He lost over a hundred seats in parliament and many key roles. Additionally his coalition is weakened because his allies really didn't appreciate his move and are already openly questioning his leadership.

He is in a way worse position now than he was before the snap election, and while you can say nobody won, no one can seriously question the fact that Macron lost hard.

As for the rise of the far right, it's happening in more countries than just France: Germany, Netherland, Italy, etc.
Windows 7 wouldn't have saved them if they used Crowdstrike. This was the problem. :-/
Thoughts on TablePlus? It’s my goto and have never been left disappointed by it
It's far easier to hide malicious code in C or C++: just write some subtle undefined behavior that you can write an exploit against. Developers do that all the time even when they're not trying to be malicious. In Rust you'd have to wrap it in "unsafe" which draws attention.
We need a lot more of this kind of in depth analysis. Right now the cheering on of AI is overwhelming. Criticism is often suppressed, both on the vendor side who just want to sell, and on the client side who have very strong FOMO.

I work for the client side and this bothers me a lot. It's very hard to get a true honest value analysis done with all the sales influence and office politics going on.

I've been gardening for 30 years, never any issues. Last year I pulled a broken branch out of a hedge and a bit I hadn't seen wacked me in the eye. Couple of hours later I was seeing flashes and a massive floater-like object appeared, a bit like a wobbling HUD graticule around my central vision. Turned out to be a posterior vitreous detachment which luckily settled down (mostly). Thank Christ.

I bought some airsoft goggles which are reasonably comfortable and non-misting, and wear them when doing any significant work, even just gardening.
Biden wasn't running for chief scientist somewhere, he was running for President of the United States, and a huge part (probably the primary part) of that job is being able to communicate effectively. If "your brain isn't able to adequately influence the movement of the vocal cords and the tongue the lips and the jaw" then you shouldn't be applying for a job where verbal communication is paramount.

I think there’s a bit of a misconception for people coming from other frameworks when it comes to Lit and it’s relation to vanilla web components.

It’s not like it’s “compatible” but a different thing, Lit is actually a standard web component the same way as a vanilla one might be.

The only difference is that you extend a different base class instead of HTMLElement, but Lit also extends HTMLElement, they just give you a massive quality of life upgrade when it comes to boilerplate and other developer experience factors and it only costs you like 5kb.

To the point that I think it’s generally a bad idea to extend HTMLElement directly. It’s very very rarely a good trade off though exceptions obviously exist.

If you want to mention this, then you very clearly haven't actually tried it. The implementation in GDB is more convenient than rr (you can start/stop recording at will), but it is also orders of magnitude less efficient. It's only usable for very small code snippets. Otherwise it takes effectively forever and/or runs out of resources.
Last sentence of article says he was proven to be right ~8 years ago. That's the most interesting bit to me.
Totally. rr is nothing short of a revolution in debuggin.
Wow, this is one of the worst articles I've ever seen. Aside from the obviously false information about Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 mentioned in other comments, the article just drops in this statement at the end:

"This is also precisely why military aircraft, like the Air Force One, still use needles, dials, and gauges—you cannot beat the reliability of older systems that have already been put through the wringer."

Gonna need a citation for that! The two jets used for Air Force One are based on the 747-200, which was one of the very early 747 models, so of course it predates glass cockpits. The reason isn't "precisely" because analogue gauges are more reliable, it's because of the plane's age. Look at all military aircraft development and you'll see they use the technology of the era. The replacement for the current VC-25 (Air Force One) aircraft will be based on the 747-8, and you better believe they'll have the glass cockpits now in use in the latest 747s.

It's on the rise, yeah. It's not just France.

The UK may have just managed to get a majority, but that's a peculiarity of their electoral system. As a fraction of the votes, their far right gained a larger share than in previous years.

Similar effects can be observed in plenty of countries, among those Sweden, Germany to some extent, Italy, Hungary has been way left for a long time, etc.

They reverted months after we left, which means the only way to hold it off would have been to stay forever and make them the 51st state.

Anyone who didn’t want to live under authoritarian Islamist rule should have left during that 20 year period. I find it hard to believe the whole place reverting was a surprise.
I also tried to source this the first time I heard it, and similarly couldn't confirm it. It might be trivially true in the sense that every huge corporation has some ancient box (or VM) lurking in the shadows somewhere, but I can't find any evidence online that Windows 3.1 is anywhere on Southwest's critical path for booking/itinerary management/plane repositioning/etc.

On a slightly truer note: the NYC subway runs, in part, on eComStation (a/k/a OS/2 Warp). The eComStation parts of the system chugged along on Friday, while the newer parts (OMNY for contactless payment, train arrival panels, etc.) all had problems.

Yes, but if they used an up-to-date version, they'd probably be using Crowdstrike by now, because everybody else did.

Meh, it was a downward spiral after the debate. No way he was going to last long.

That is what parent is challenging. You can of course disagree. I think it's an interesting point. How much damage do we do to ourselves by societally selecting charismatic people who speak eloquently as leaders (importantly: over other qualities)?

Ahh, right. You'd need bitlocker keys. Although I wonder if the central key server could be queried to obtain each host's key?

Also makes me wonder about a software configuration management system that operated on disks while the virtual hosts were powered down. With windows it feels like that'd be at least very difficult, but Linux could definitely be managed that way. Like an immutable operating system where changes can only come from the central controller, and the OS itself is written with that in mind. Dunno what benefit that might bring, but it's a fun mental excursion.

Seems totally reasonable: I am confident in my ability to do this job now, but I'm less sure I'll be able to do it three or four years from now, so I will be seeing out this contract and won't sign a new one with you. A perfectly normal thing most working people do in their 60s.
Given the low birth rate of cuba, it's going to create a havoc in the age pyramid. How can a country survive this kind of change?
There's no "EU as a whole". Europe is made of vastly different countries with their own politics and the people care much more about the national politics compared to EU level politics (at least based on what I have seen).

It doesn't help that the EU parliament (elected directly) does not have much power compared to the commission.
The problem isn't the head of state but the head of government. The solution to that is reduce the powers of the President.

I have been having thought that the office of President should be split. With separate head of state and head of government that runs the executive branch. Another option would be to have triumvirate with command in chief that commands the military. Maybe the President has power to dismiss the others, or there is system than one person can't take over, like the CnC can never be executive.

You could do that with current structure by giving all the executive power to the Vice President, and then President would be left with head of state role. They would run as slate, with the visible, charismatic President, and the unknown, competent VP. If the President dies, the VP loses all his power.
This may piss off a bunch of people here on this site who are in the C-suite but...

I'd only hire Biden for the CEO role actually. Guys a great executive that has a hard time leaving. Classic CEO.
does anyone know the psychology of sharing photos with Harris and Biden tilted like pi/8 radians counterclockwise?

I see it repeatedly since this story broke, but not earlier.

It likely relates to how outlets looking to promote a person (athlete, candidate, whatever) tend to show them from below, as if they're larger than normal, but that's just a guess.
There’s no argument meant to be made. Just a statement of the (sad) fact that blatant gaslighting is pretty common and often very effective.
Yep. And because it's insecure it becomes increasingly isolated (for very good reasons) from the rest of your network, which creates major operational bottlenecks and impediments against future desirable updates and upgrades.
Most Black folks want safety in their neighborhoods, period, and that is not possible without police and hence most support it. You don't hear "Defund the Police" anymore because we know how well it worked out.
You’re right, which I also used in my argument, but I was shot down by our own people, because their success metrics were based on passing the audit with the least amount of fuss.

We kept our other controls, we just added edr as well, because just having it appeased auditors. If you try to explain to an auditor your other controls, it could change a part of the audit from five minutes to multiple days.

We don’t use crowdstrike, but this was years ago.
I did use gdb recently on Windows, but this was for a cross compiled program using mingw. Not sure it works for programs made with MSVC.
See you don't understand, he IS fit to serve, but he doesn't believe he'll win the election.
how do you measure who is effective?
The important consideration is that he’s unfit to serve for four and a half more years, and also that he’s unfit to win the election. In contrast, he’s probably not considerably more unfit for the next six months than for the past six.
Hear hear.

The fact that (for the most part) 2 American credit card companies determine what porn people can and cannot watch on-line world-wide is an embodiment of this very problem.
Plenty of countries have elections on a fixed cycle and an election date known years in advance, and they don't have these extremely long drawn-out campaigns. Also, in most countries candidates also don't spend a fucktillion dollars on campaigning – another thing that has gotten rather out of hand in the US.

And the mid-terms make it even worse. De-facto the US runs on a two-year election cycle. I suspect this is part of the reason why things are so screwed in the first place.
Coal is a recent "invention". The Brits were pretty damn lucky they found lots of it under the last tree they chopped down. It was all wood before that.
The video wasn't talking about GPT per se. The world of AI is much bigger than language models - you have to look at the big picture. Language models by themselves give a convincing simulacrum of a thinking, planning agent - what happens when you set out to make such an agent? Where is this going? Language models show that with enough data, and the right architecture, there is no reason to rule out any particular capability. In theory, AIs can manipulate, deceive, reproduce, self-improve. In practice they can already do so with the most minimal of human nudging.

I too am wary of "something must be done" panic legislation that may inadvertently cause the "bad future" it seeks to prevent. But it is foolish to pretend that the danger is not real.
As a counterpoint, Sweden has elections on a fixed schedule as well, and electioneering is still essentially contained to a month before the election proper.
> this is not the fault of Microsoft, Windows, etc.

Partially, it is. The expected lifetime of unprotected Windows machine connected to the Internet is in minutes, and I think there's some fault of Microsoft and Windows in that. And people want a solution to this problem, and when Crowdstrike offers one they take it. The reason "Windows + Crowdstrike" became so omnipresent is because "Windows without Crowdstrike" is too big a risk. It may be not a direct fault but certainly a contribution to the whole situation.

> Any US president would have great leverage to threaten an Israeli PM personally or politically, or threaten changes to US foreign policy that would work badly for Israel.

US Presidents aren't dictators and there is no way _any_ policy change too bad for Israel wouldn't have led to serious financial issues for any party. AIPAC is damn well connected.

In any case, I don't believe Netanyahu would have caved. No matter the threat - the crimes of Oct 7 were way too serious for any Israeli PM to leave unanswered. It was the equivalent of 9/11 - and just like the US back then, who completely flattened Afghanistan in retaliation, there is no way any other Israeli PM would have had any other realpolitik option than to fight until Hamas is gone off the face of the planet.
> He got us out of Afghanistan too... this was a huge win and was very risky. Doesn't get enough credit for this one.

Thats because Trump agreed to get us out of afghaniston. Biden oversaw the absolutely disastrous execution, abandoning untold millions of military equipment in the hands of the taliban.
It's different in that analog circuits aren't just a physical representation of a wiring diagram - they are something I know I could manipulate if needed. Cut out a part there and replace it with a substitute, splice some wires in and add more parts to add extra functionality, etc. Digital electronics? The chips are magic black boxes. And when they communicate using digital protocols, like SPI, I2C, UART, etc., then the physical properties of connections between the chips become irrelevant too - the connection is either present or missing, you can't manipulate the behavior by messing with the wire from outside. No soldering in a cap to change delays, or a 555 to add timed behavior. Almost all of the circuit is therefore hidden in magic black boxes, and whatever remains either works or it doesn't.

Now sure, I know now I can do digital electronics with the right tools. But the tools I can use, that most hobbyists and professionals can access, allow only limited control. You can't just fab yourself an alternate chip to do something, you have to buy the very specific one that happens to do what you want, or a more general one that can be reprogrammed. And you rarely can reprogram existing chips on a board you modify, because the vendors don't want to see the magic.

Yes, I too, as a kid, was pissed off about digital electronics, and regularly remarked to a friend that soon we'll have light switches and fridges implemented using microcontrollers. If I only knew how true that prediction would turn out...

Now the irony is, at that same time I was making those complains, I was also studying X86 assembly and C++, trying to learn how to make video games. Turns out, the common thread that connects programming computers and analog electronics is accessibility. I could do both for almost free, while gradually learning through experimentation. I couldn't do that with digital electronics - the cost and educational barrier was just too great.
I'm guessing those things running 3.1 and 95 are air gapped then? Because wouldn't that make their systems quite vulnerable?
