> However, the AI stocks are priced as if they are going to reap all the benefits, if not today, then perhaps even about a month or two ago.

Yeah, there's actually a huge amount of metaphorical territory--if sparsely populated--between "optimistic about AI in a general sense" versus "believing all of today's market/startup hype".

However it feels like the window has been dragged so far to the hype-side that anything less than breathless stock-buying while waving a The Singularity Is Near sign will get you a "pessimist" or even "Luddite" label.

Ted Lasso, probably their biggest hit? Masters of the Air?
>For your second point: That line of reasoning has traditionally resulted in underfunding of security.

Underfunding relative to what? Another example I'd cite would be the TSA. How much do we pay it now vs how much would we lose based on what they've truly stopped?

>Say that you know for a fact that CrowdStrike prevented a ransomware attack. How can you accurately assess the money saved by prevention if you don’t know what the ransom would have been set at? How can you accurately assess the value of the data loss from not paying the ransom?

You could estimate at an order of magnitude based on the level of access of the user and a model of your infrastructure. For example, if only one machine is compromised, you could estimate order of magnitude based on the value of the data lost, the floor being set at the days of work lost * hourly rate of the user.

It’s actually pretty simple:

1. Identify the most important parts of the message you want to convey.

2. Imagine they’re under NDA and you can’t disclose them publicly.

3. Think about generic placeholders for the parts you can’t disclose.

4. Now say what you wanted while replacing confidential stuff with the placeholders.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" - Karl Marx.

It's not an inherent function of capitalism. If anything, Marx himself actually pitched communism as boosting overall productivity of society by putting bourgeois to work.
You're also very uninformed about what the word "fascist" means.
Other merits or demerits aside, doesn’t it seem obvious that if the state started distributing $3,600,000,000,000 of cash a year, it could possibly, just maybe, move the needle on inflation just a tiny wee bit? Has anyone ever addressed that challenge, or is it baked into the pie on purpose? If so, is this just a way to redistribute the allocation of assets? If so, why not just be honest and start the conversation there?
*> Isn't that concerning?*

Off the top of my head, not especially. The problem of rivals that can process data faster and with greater precision is a problem that existed before AI was used/commoditized.

I suppose I am concerned about AI using information to specifically target vast numbers of people at scale, based on their psychological traits/desires/vulnerabilities. Esp for political, psyops, dark pattern marketing, etc.
I left it ambiguous on purpose, as equivalent could mean many things, someone at least as accomplished, at least as wealthy, or at least as considerate... the list it goes on. It all depends on what that person is looking for. Seems silly to judge which attributes are important for what is a deeply personal choice with serious life implications.
You probably could. Easiest way would probably be to standup a GKE cluster quickly and then copy out the fluentd config.
This is a great quote:

> In the middle of Apple’s case against Microsoft, Xerox sued Apple, hoping to establish its rights as the inventor of the desktop interface. The court threw out this case, too, and questioned why Xerox took so long to raise the issue. Bill Gates later reflected on these cases: “we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox ... I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that [Jobs] had already stolen it.”
I could not see anywhere if the ban is in place. Just that the infra is apparently not ready. But considering their cheap electrical energy, and if they have a good distribution network alreadyin place, this can be done rather very well. But an outright ban doesn't make any sense. Banning non hybrid ICE might be a good idea, considering the reason cited is lack of foreign reserves.

But just getting any cheap EV from china without maintenance commitment, is awful.

A healthy society produces surplus to provide for those who depend on others.
To ensure enough surplus, everyone who is able, should add value.
No. Not in production yet. But that should solve this problem once it's available for any company that uses it (and I believe CrowdStrike is heavily involved with it).
I definitely want to keep working at home. My workplace rebuilt all the cubicles to be half their previous size. Coincidentally, this was just as COVID started. Now we're required to work 2 days a week in the office. It's great to see people in person, but if you need to meet with someone in their cubicle, you're either going to be hanging out in the aisle or sitting very very close to them.
I did. It remains in seated position. Not because I don’t want to use it but rather that being standing without moving is rapidly uncomfortable and also bad for health. Yes you can alternate. But that’s just annoying.

The hard truth is that we are made to move and to move on purpose but that’s not what the society wants us to do. Standing desks and all are just hacks, not the panacea.
> For example - if your computer fails to boot 3 times in a row, with a third party driver, how about automatically disabling the driver?

I don't think computers got to that level of refinement. Yes, we have AI, but this is mostly used to spread propaganda. Last i looked, you cannot fix Linux or Windows without human intervention.
There's been a narrative in the US over the last 40-or-so years that a "job" is the answer to all social problems. At best, that's half-true. Money is the real solution to social problems. And maybe it was the case 40 or 50 years ago, but having a job doesn't provide the same money that it used to, relative to required expenses.

My boomer dad got a job right out of high school, with only a diploma, and was able to purchase a house and support my then-stay-at-home mother within 3 months of starting work. That is simply unheard of now. And it's not because people don't have jobs.
What are you talking about - that is deregulation. This was a government granted monopoly - you don't get more regulated than that.
how would you use this within chrome?
Right. That's actually less than the failure rate of condoms used as intended. But you'll never experience childbirth, postpartum pain, and you can just walk away from a family if your partner's vagina is a source permanent pain for her.
Fellow kiddo of divorce here. One of my homes was whole. The other was an absolute shit-show from age 5 to 19, when I stopped talking to them. Bio-dad was useless. In fact, I felt quite represented overall by the article, what with it discussing how poor women will choose no man over a shit man. My mom definitely chose that, and I'm immensely better for it. I'm just disappointed I had to do mandatory visitations.

Luckily I got a step dad later on who stepped right up. I wouldn't be who I am today without him, he's awesome.
> we're helping cat photos load 3 milliseconds faster...

No. You don't load cat pictures faster by surrounding it with spyware and choose the cat pic with data from said spyware.
Can you elaborate on this? It's rather general.
> Given how panics are intended to be used (handling unexpected state/precondition violations/etc.), it seems it seems akin to saying "just don't write bugs"

It is more about always making the error reach the function that called the method/library (lost if one of the own dependencies of this library rise the panic [UB included] crashing the program), what allows the programmer to take the decision (and not to a deep dependency^5 ) about if to continue running the program, by taking alternative route, or not.
Severance? There are white male and female leads, and the villains are a woman and a black man.

Ted Lasso is definitely a white male protagonist.

Presumed Innocent, The Big Door Prize, Dick Turpin, and this is all just from Apple TV. I think this 'problem' might be imaginary.

Only the bad ones. The good ones have less downtime than a regular person. Random dudes you work with probably golf more than most presidents do.

To me, this is the single biggest problem with welfare.

The woman wants to work, yet cannot because she can’t guarantee how fast she will move past the “no welfare and very little money” transition until she gets promoted to full time work.

Her only recourse is to stay on welfare. Now the real issue comes to her children. If she managed to really instill in them the need to never be on welfare themselves, great, they’ll join the workforce. But what if she didn’t? Maybe only tried a bit, but the years of being on welfare made her lose touch with the working world. Children now only see welfare and thus generational poverty starts.
That would neat, although I suspect most compilers/linters should already be able to warn you about potential overflows.

If you want to boil down what devs are looking for in a diff tool to one thing, it would be "which change(s) between these two versions of code result in a different binary (or AST/opcodes/bytecode, depending on the language)?" All other changes, while certainly sometimes useful to know about, are just syntactic sugar.

> Spending it on other projects is a bad idea:

Disagree

> - it'd be distracting, they're open source devs/maintainers not fund managers

True. Dedicating time & effort to this would take away time & effort from development. But the harsh reality here is:

1. Client devs simply will not receive anywhere near as much funding as the drop Jellyfin are proposing/asking for.

2. It's clear from the article that Jellyfin's main devs would prefer a world where those client devs do receive such funds.

It's ultimately a trade-off: Jellyfin central dev would take a hit from taking on such a fiscal role, but the Client dev community would benefit, which sounds like it would benefit Jellyfin ultimately. Entirely up to Jellyfin's devs on whether they feel the hit would be worthwhile but I don't think it should be dismissed out of hand & it's worth suggesting.

I recently swapped out my office chair for a coffee table. It allows me to sit without back support in a variety of positions - cross legged, feet on the ground, sometimes with my hands supporting me.. even hunched over if I'm being a bit lazy / sucked into whatever is happening on screen.

The results have been almost instantaneous - back feels stronger, I'm not as stiff overall - general mobility and flexibility is better.

Took a week or so to get used to. Initially I wanted to get up and go find a couch a lot. Now I can sit for hours, but like you mentioned - with the small movements - it's never totally sedentary.
“The winning time was fitted to a rational fraction curve for the quadruped records (r2 = 0.823, adjusted r2 = 0.787, F = 26.9, P < 0.05) and to a linear curve for the biped records (r2 = 0.952, adjusted r2 = 0.949, F = 336.1, P < 0.05; Figure Figure1).1).”

Unfortunately, a linear extrapolation implies that at some time, the bipedal 100m will take negative time…

Unless your customers are primarily in higher education/research, then just take the time to figure out SAML. Higher ed collaboration requires eduGAIN, which requires SAML (because SAML has mature multilateral federation support).
Windows as an OS is not as resilient as Linux when it comes to non-ideal operating conditions.

Plus, Linux is way lighter when compared to Windows. I can easily fit a stable and reliable server inside 512MB of RAM with a couple of services on top of it.

You can only dream this on Windows. CPU requirements has the same gap. Linux is way lighter.

Lastly, Linux can be tweaked from terminal completely. You need to do complex tricks to do the same in Windows.
void could be an actual meaningful type for a template rather than a dummy type.
Having dealt with the operational side of SAML implementations, as well as implementation of the spec, it would be nice if tools like this generated docs for customer setup that are app specific. This would go from initial setup to certificate updates to configuring custom attributes supported by the SP.
> C and C++ don't have a type spindle, where void would be at the bottom. Only C++ has the concept of subtype, only in the class system, and the C++ class system doesn't have a bottom type; there is no bottom class that is a base for all the others.

A bottom type is not the base of all other types.

> void is not a proper type; it's just a hack shoehorned into a convenient spot in the type system.

It is a type, but it is not Regular and it is incomplete. 'return x;' is invalid in a void-returning function because it doesn't type check. 'return void()' or 'return (void)0;' or 'return void_returning_function();' are all valid because they type check.

Making void regular has been proposed multiple times [1]. It is a relatively simple extension but nobody that cares has the time to carry it through standardization.

That’s when someone takes ages to e.g. clean something up because they are using way more effort than necessary.
Absolutely the expression of our instincts is formed by our environment, including the social environment. Yes, our present social organization could be making the human animal sick.
Yes, exactly. If you pay someone not to work, I can't blame them for not working. Sure it could be short-sighted, but that's not a moral flaw. The system is designed to keep people in poverty and dependent on the system. It's really tragic
One advantage of SAML over OIDC - they standardized IDP initiated login, so you can skip the "login using..." button when sending an already logged in user to a third party system.

But the various XML canonicalization specs, XML transforms, embedding X509 certificates, all the mess they created to be able to embed signatures inside XML messages instead of just sending them separate from the assertions, is horrible to get right and will be a source of more security bugs for many, many years to come. https://www.google.com/search?q=canonicalization+CVE+SAML

Political parties should be democratic institutions. Who else should be democratic if not the parties? In many countries candidates are rejected from elections if parties cannot show that they were selected in a fair, transparent and democratic process.

Wow, I had no idea that "Middle East" referred to different regions in different languages - that's interesting.

Btw we say "Near East" in English too and it's vaguely defined but it usually includes Israel. But I don't think it's wrong to say that Israel is in the "Middle East" too - the two terms overlap somewhat.
> Why is the goal to get people to quit their jobs and get a nice apartment?

> Isn't it supposed to be a minimum base level of support? Why do we keep moving the goal posts?

Ultimately, the whole point of UBI is to head off political objections to automating away most jobs, so the tech barons can pursue the technology to do that unimpeded (at least until it's too late). "Minimum base level of support" is basically the Terrafoam welfare warehouses from Manna (https://marshallbrain.com/manna).
This is alternatively referred to as the welfare cliff [1]

The stimulus checks kicked off inflation. But inflation should have been limited to the amount of money injected in the economy. We ended up seeing inflation exceeding the amount of money injected.

Hidden in Covid was a massive decline in labor force productivity and participation - the lion's share coming from baby boomers retiring during this time. So it's no longer about the amount of money, but the shrinking pile of stuff it is chasing after.

Even if there was an easy way to run windows headless and microsoft didn't charge per-core licenses I actually think the platform itself is the issue--

It's that windows isn't POSIX compliant. It's easier to port libraries, etc. to run on OSX than it is on Windows. There's all sorts of weird gotchas when porting to windows as well. Setting up many language runtimes, compilers, etc. is all very different and oftentimes poorly supported. There's far smaller of a critical mass of libraries that will run on windows either (natively not on a VM).
From adminstration and user perspective Oauth (Oauthorization) is alot more confusing though.

"Why is google asking me to grant access to my google drive for SAAS X, I just want to login to SAAS X via Google"
Good thinking about proxies.

But I don't put any stock in (non-professor) sabbatical programs, specifically, anymore, at least not the month-ish kind.

It's easy for a company to advertise sabbaticals, whether they mean it or not (e.g., no cost if you layoff or have a hostile work environment in the first 5 years), and there's also odd incentives, as well as perceptions.

For one example, you can imagine a stereotypical coked-up CEO saying, "If someone is still here in 5 years, they must be complacent, not top players. Sabbatical means they document their duties, and we send them home for 4 weeks, to test whether the docs are enough. It's time to check the freshness date, bro."

And on the employee side, you can imagine people approaching 5-6 years holding out a little longer for that bonus/vacation, but seeing no real refresh of incentive after (unlike RSUs). I've seen industry sabbaticals like this used for job-hunting, and the occasion almost looks like a sign that's time.

(With professors, OTOH, it's different: it might be a year, and a chance to refresh your research, break into a new area, write a book, be a visiting researcher, etc. Which potentially has upside for the university. And the real commitment signal by the employer is tenure.)
Hey Brendan,

> If your company is paying for commercial software that includes kernel drivers or kernel modules, you can make eBPF a requirement.

Windows soon, may still be atleast a year ahead. Would that be a fair statement? atleast being the operating keyword here.

Specifically in the context of network security software, for eBPF programs to be portable across windows/linux, we would need MSFT to add a lot more hooks and expose internal kernel stucts. Hopefully via a common libbpf definition.
Otherwise, I fear, having two versions of the same product, across two OSs would mean more secuirty and quality issues.

I guess the point I am trying to make is, we would get there, but we are more than a few years away.
I would love to see something like cilium on vanilla windows for a Software defined Company Wide network. We can then start building enterprise network secutiry into it. Baby steps!

My favorite Apple TV series is actually "Lessons in Chemistry". The protagonist is Brie Larson. 2023 show.

On the sci-fi side, I really enjoyed Apple TV's Silo led by Rebecca Ferguson. Also 2023.
