Counterpoint, I have opted out at multiple airports including Boston without event. They all know opting out is a thing, they press one button to turn off the camera, I hold up a piece of paper over the cameras anyway just in case, and they have never said anything.

One reason to opt out even though everyone says “they already have your picture 1000 different ways” is that these cameras are not normal cameras, they are stereoscopic close-range cameras that take a 3D image of your face. That takes facial recognition accuracy up to 95%+, from 70% or less on a normal photo.

Furthermore, they say they do not retain the image. That may or may not be strictly true. But they do not say they are deleting the eigenvector, facial measurements, a hash of the image, or any other useful derivatives of the image
No one wants to de-orbit anything, because of the small chance that it hits something important on the ground, and the added fuel cost, it's easier and cheaper to just leave things in a graveyard orbit.

Maybe if starship achieves it's goals of rapid re-usability, then active debris removal could be affordable.

In the mean time it would make sense for some kind of international agreement that requires all launches plan for de-orbiting of their debris.
The right for privacy and not being constantly filmed, monitored and recorded. That principle.
Ideally you have several vents perpendicular to the orbital path and open them at the same time, so the vectors cancel out. That's the happy case. If, because we are in the sad case, we can't get that, it's still better to have one piece of debris versus thousands.
I disagree. Paying for content, whether directly or indirectly, and being a platform that connects users/advertisers with content owners and takes a cut of all transactions are two very different business models. YouTube is very clearly the latter.
With a title like "What everyone seems to be missing about ..." I was sort of expecting something other than a repeat of some of the most common comments made about it. "Why didn't they do a staggered rollout?" is literally the first thing that anyone with any sort of IT experience asks.
For the lowest risk changes in terms of review comment activity, that appears to almost already be happening.
I think it was Orson Scott Card who wrote a story about that. I seem to remember it included boxers with their brains below the belt.

Rocky Flats manufactured triggers. What’s pit production?
I don’t understand the utility of a foldable phone. Are there any advantages?
Well, there's a third option: Optimus joins self driving to be the stock pump du jour, but Tesla attempts to methodically builds its core businesses, EVs and energy storage, to grow into its current valuation.

Just like you, I'm not saying this will happen. But I do think it most closely matches the Tesla playbook of the previous decade.
Neuralink's value jump leaves some Musk employees itching to cash out
Move to a different area where you feel uncomfortable at first, and try to get to know people there and see their good sides. Assimilate to whatever degree you feel comfortable (i.e. don't give up your core values, but be willing to try new things and hear new perspectives open-mindedly). Do it again a few years later. And again. And again.

The internet is biased towards your interests in a way that the real world isn't. Often the cultural geography of a place is a whole package, you can't just pick your own little bubble like on reddit or HN. Even if you just go grocery shopping or go out to public places and events, you'll run into different kinds of people.
Not worried about leaks?
Don’t forget that the upkeep costs of that existing, low density infrastructure is very expensive, and is often net negative for municipalities.
The USSR bombed it in 1941.

And when the Warsaw Uprising started Stalin ordered Soviet troops to wait 20 miles out of Warsaw for a month so poles and Germans would kill each other.

So the USSR has had a pivotal role in Warsaw's fall.
I've had no such trouble in Boston. In Denver, I got an annoyed agent, but no argument. They flipped through their TSA state ID binder and did the customary comparison, but no argument.

I actually have taken up the habit of wearing a surgical mask through security simply for this purpose, right up until I've opted out and they have my ID in hand. When they ask me to lower it I do, but not until I've opted out.
It’s misleading when Tesla is one company with 4 old models and 1 new model, and the competition is 17 companies with dozens and dozens of mostly all brand new models.
Seeing their parents do it should make it less cool.

Having seen what kind of adults such bubble wrapped children turn into I think that perhaps some risk should be acceptable, let nature sort a few things out, and understand we're not all going to survive to old age. As sad as it is to see a child die before their time, I think it's more sad to see adults who have never lived.

I taken a lot of PEDs for therapeutic reasons to combat the effects of ME/CFS, mainly hGH peptides and Test Cypionate but also some of the esoteric stuff as well. So I'm generally pro PEDs when done in moderation. Obviously some people go overboard.
I think a lot of innate athletic prowess is higher endogenous level of many of the same PEDs so you could probably identify likely athletes with DNA tests. So what are these competitions for, to figure out who has the better DNA + work ethic? I'm all for armature sports done for the benefit of the participants.
What in the hell makes you think that just because the form factor of a computer is a phone, that suddenly routine file management is something that no longer is on the list of things I might want to do?

Truly one of the most brain-off takes I have ever had the misfortune of being privy to. "Hey, lets lock out one of the most basic computing primitives because the hardware form factor happens to be consistent with a telephony handset."

Seriously. People who think like this are the same people who are draining the life out of computing. Trying to turn it into little more than a top-down orchestrated, network-access trickling device, instead of what it should be, which is an emancipator of the physical limitations of the human brain; a bicycle for the mind.
I'd like to see a cite for that.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Do you think I should focus on a sub-niche I'm already involved in, or should I aim for a higher-value segment that I'm not currently a part of?

Aren't there laws against malicious prosecution? Also a prosecutor could face disbarment and then political repercussions which is what happened in Arizona to Maricopa County attorney Andrew Thomas.

So it takes a lot but the system does self-regulate.
That is right in theory, wrong in practice. You can go to jail if you violate your fiduciary responsibility, you can also fulfil your fiduciary duties and easily lose your CEO job if you do not prioritize shareholder returns. I'm talking about publicly traded US based companies, like Tesla. This is how proxy advisory services like ISS and Glass Lewis, and board politics in general work. Tesla has defied the rules for a long time, because of the massive cred for innovation and value creation that Musk has accrued over time. That is finite.
This comes down to a skill issue. Not as in “you don’t have the innate skill to do this,” but as in “you haven’t learned the skill such that it doesn’t take forever to do.”

If you want to fork money over to Vercel every month, fine, but assume that this can’t be done reliably and safely while also not taking forever. Did I invest a lot of time in the past learning and honing these skills? Of course. Now they’re useful for something beyond a hobby.

I am polish but only been in Warsaw recently and I was surprised by how beautiful the city is.

I traveled all around Eastern Europe and I put it definitely higher in my rankings than Prague and Budapest.

I can see the point of those who may disagree, it's a matter of taste, but I find Warsaw one of the most beautiful cities in Europe for a weekend (whereas the likes of Rome, Paris, London can simply not be appreciated well in such a short time span).
Should we do the same for segmentation faults? Silently return zero and let the program continue with whatever broken internal state it ends up with?
I think the current safety systems that are beginning to see more adoption (lane drift warning, collision avoidance, automatic braking/engine shut-off, or infrared HUDs etc. in fancier cars) are probably more effective. If the car can detect dangers and act without waiting for you to respond, that's better than just trying to amplify a warning and hoping you hear it and react in time.

Now that (in the US) hearing aids are available off the shelf, hopefully we'll soon see more airpod-wannabes that don't look like the traditional aids. Cheaper too. But IMO that's not really a great solution to driving safety. By the time you hear something (be it a horn or a screeching crash) it's usually too late anyway.
I think this gets into unanswerable metaphysical questions about when we can say mathematical objects, propositions, etc. really exist.

But I think if we take the view that it's not a random variable until we query it, that makes it awkward to talk about how GPT-2 (and similar models) is trained. No one ever draws samples from the model during training, but the whole justification for the cross-entropy-minimizing training procedure is based on thinking about the model as a random variable.
It's not even truly open source, they set a user limit.

What’s the most confusing thing to me is why anyone is giving CS any slack here

This isn’t a indie game dev or some group of volunteers

CS actively sells and uses fear to gain customers to a bad product. Their whole 3B business is based on unearned trust

IMO that constitutes fraud if it’s this magnitude. Someone needs to go to jail and investors need to lose all their money and liquidate the company
> Active debris removal (harpoon satellites, magnet arms, whatever) are not a solution to this problem and are a huge waste of money.

This is wrong because it's based on a flawed assumption.

That assumption being: Propellant is required to deorbit debris, and the rocket equation makes launching all that propellant prohibitively expensive.

And while we can't do anything about the rocket equation, we don't actually need to have propellant in space to deorbit things.

Ways to deorbit without propellant in space:

1. The ground based methods. Although these would likely be seen by superpowers as military escalation of the status-quo.

2. Propulsion-less drone satellites. All propulsion-less designs use some form of sail which can be used to change the drone's orbit to match the debris before latching on and towing it to a new orbit. Once the debris is now in a decaying or graveyard orbit, the drone can detach and go after it's next target. All that is needed is time, power (readily accessible via solar power this close to the sun), and reaction wheels (which now we know what caused previous designs to fail like in the Kepler mission, can be built to last).

The most common form of sails would be solar sails, but there's also EDTs and magnetic sails.
Project managers? Private messages? Heads of state? Afternoons?
Sometimes, yes. One choice is the right and proper self flagellation and sorrow for poor behaviour. The other is to not disable the engines on your warship when a programmer missed an edge case.
HN and in general the software community has a hate-boner for Microsoft, it is almost tradition at this poin.

While the hate is valid in many cases, I've observed that the cribbing about it has also been unwarranted or unjustified a lot of the time (also no other corp is held to the same standard) - and this is a prime example.

MS cannot legally restrict third party kernel. Apple can, bc they didn't get struck down like MS did.

MS has an option to not bundle Defender with their OS, which would let them lock the kernel to avoid the anti-trust restrictions, but that would be an insane decision to make.

Damned if they do, Damned if they don't indeed
They are still using backscatter X-ray scanners in parts of Europe, for example Berlin. That airport does allow you to opt out of them.

And in the US, backscatter X-rays have found continued use in jails and prisons. There is actually one that is used in Cook County (Chicago) that is a conveyor belt you stand on to get a full 5 seconds of X-ray exposure. Opting out of the prison scanner may be possible depending on your circumstances, but undoubtedly more difficult

If the CEO has to work for the shareholders benefit even outside the work then what about the rank-and-file? Should not all the Amazon employees be forced to shop only at amazon.com and WFM? Should not all Microsoft employees use only Microsoft software? Should all Google employees use Pixel phones and Netflix employees fired for subscribing to competitor streaming services or buying movie tickets?

I think your expectations of loyalty might be a bit exaggerated. A job is a job. Whether as a CEO or as a warehouse picker, it's not one's life.
Vent for a while, then use the reaction wheels to flip and vent in the opposite direction.
I don’t usually recommend that tourists visit Warsaw for their first trip to Poland. There are plenty of interesting things to see there, but an international tourist is going to have a certain expectation of what they will want to see, which is mostly Kraków’s medieval center and the Jewish history. That is course is a very narrow slice of Poland, which is a rapidly developing modern European powerhouse in its own right.

Another interesting thing is that almost all “old” things are materially mostly new, like the Ship of Theseus. Most structures take regular refurbishment to stay standing. So in a way, while Warsaw Old Town is materially new, the form is old, so it is still in some sense old. This is in contrast to Gdańsk’s old town which are facades slapped on top of communist block buildings meant to create a Polish themed city out of the former German city, much more Disney than architectural conservation.
Too much dogmatic Agile bullshit, with all the ceremonies and hours spent estimating points and then talking about points a few days later when they're all wrong.
Coming up with the words and concepts to describe the models is a challenge.

And yeah, Intel's current stumble with 13th/14th gen cpus seems like worst possible timing for such an extreme fuck up. That's not going to go well for future planning/purchase decisions by business customers.

I don't seek to deny the spying happens, but I ask you to put yourself in this situation and see if you feel as charitable to your own government, when it acts against you because of fears of an outside agency.

I guarantee you, your reaction will not be "oh, thats ok then, the root cause was these other bad people"
Good for you. There is no shortage of assholes at the border. It's gotten to the point where when I encounter a polite one, I think "what's his angle?" Maybe he's just not a jerk projecting his sense of powerlessness onto strangers. Imagine!

That said, I don't envy their job. But it seems to be a systemic attractor of asshole.
I'm unsure what you're talking about in terms of hearing aids not being socially acceptable... What places are discriminating or judging people because they have hearing aids?
> Plenty of endpoint vendors have had issues with PTrace (MacOS), kprobes (Linux), eBPF (Linux, K8s), etc.

Nothing is perfect, latest generation of Intel CPUs are unstable, bugs are part of all kernels, and so on and so forth. But eBPF does allow for less crashes than a kernel module and these crashes are usually sandboxing error rather than an error made by the third-party provider.

As a matter of fact, the eBPF Linux version of Crowdstrike did create kernel panics on some distros.

> This means that by offering Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft needs to give similar access to the underlying kernel to competing vendors like CRWD and S1.

Absolutely, and that's a good thing. This doesn't seem to prevent them from moving Defender to another set of security APIs or from creating another set of security APIs for anyone to hook on.
As every social it is mostly used by attention seekers and provides very little utility.

I swear I never found a job (or client now that I'm freelancing) nor I have found decent candidates on it.

I'm consistently spammed by Indians and middle eastern devs every time I open a position, it's just endless which my current client does not want to hire due to timezone and language issues and definitely some bias for the quality of their coding and task understanding abilities.
It's way more extreme than that.

For any named product (such as Raptor Lake) intel only make 1-3 unique silicon dies. Any product in the
Alder Lake only had two dies, 8P+8E and 6P+0E [1]. Every single SKU comes from those two dies, if it has E cores, it's the 8P+8E die. Which means Alder Lake-N is actually the 8P+8E dies with all the P cores disabled.

The laptop versions, Alder Lake-P (20w) and Alder Lake-U (9 and 15w) are also the 8P+8E die, they couldn't use the 6P+0E die, because it has no E cores at all.

Raptor Lake is only one die with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, which they sell as every i9 and i7, along with the two top i5 designs. In the 13th generation, the remaining i5s are the Alder Lake 8P+8E die and the i3s are all Alder Lake 6P+0E dies.

The manufacturing defects aren't binary, it's not a simple pass/fail. It's all very analog: Some dies are simply able to reach higher clock speeds, or use more or less power. They test every single die and bin it based on its capabilities. The ones with the best power consumption go to the P and U SKUs. The ones which can reach the highest clock speeds are labeled as 13900KS, dies which just miss that get sold as 13900K, the rest get spread over all remaining SKUs based on their capabilities.

Intel couldn't decide to exclusively make 13900KS dies if they wanted to, because they are simply the top 0.1% of dies. They are forced to make 1000 dies, use the best one and sell the rest as lower SKUs.

[1] Wikichip has photos of the two dies: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/alder_...
Sure, that plays a role. You're also sticking your head in the sand if you think Musk's behavior is not an extreme own-goal that's hugely damaging to Tesla. It doesn't take a Musk hater to see that there are, in fact, a whole lot of new Musk haters in exactly Tesla's target market.

Being a celebrity is hard, and frankly Musk messed up by turning himself into one. That can only be explained by ego or lack of foresight.

GP said this needs to be "part of the narrative," and they're absolutely, unequivocally right. People hate him and don't want to be affiliated with him, justified or not.

This looks like it could be a really useful tool for us building internal query catalogues and dashboards.

Does the dashboard feature support any dynamic field selectors (similar to "variables" in Grafana)?
That's gonna depend on your skills and what you think is interesting to pursue. Generally speaking you'll want to learn how to, at a minimum, model stuff and 3d print it, and how to design PCBs. I strongly suggest FreeCAD and KiCad for those tasks respectively.
This is an interesting idea, if I'm understanding it right (i.e. you show one graph, user can interact with it, annotate certain data points or time periods, and then leave a freeform comment below it)?

I've never seen it in that particular format, though. Google Analytics had some light annotation tools (like you can mark certain dates with events) but it wasn't very extensive.

It would be cool to see something like that, like an data-driven interactive dialogue service. I hope you build it!
a bunch of unhelpful commenters will add that they anecdotally did not experience inconvenience.

this was the same play book with milliliter wave scanners, which are now proven to not be completely safe but who cares. at first you could opt out. then opt out was the same as mandatory patdown. then opt out meant an extra 30min wait by the xray scanner... etc. now its fully not an option.

meanwhile i bet the 911 hijackers would have zero problems getting pre check or whatever other private scamer is selling the no-scan boarding these days.

lastly, yeah, this is totally so they do not need a warrant to unlock your phone if you have face unlock. in the most plain and obvious Kafkaesque "he did provide the facescan willingly your honor. not once he opted out, which was always an option".

The "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy in a single sentence.
Well I can’t know what you’re talking about precisely because you didn’t give any examples, but my sense is that people involved in things like Wikipedia are going to lean (American) left because Wikipedia is socialism and it embraces progress. Most of the rest of the world is left of the American left and Wikipedia is also international, so that would exacerbate things to some degree.
> So float, int, unint64, int8 and a vector/array don't have specific memory layouts?

The memory layouts don't need to be known to the user. Different hardware architectures can have the concept of floats and ints and code can be written using them the same way while the underlying representations are distinct. I promise that IEEE754 is not the only way to represent floating point values handed down from god to man on a golden scroll.

> > And you need to know what the types of the inputs to a query wrapper function are to be able to call it properly.

Funny, I recall you not very long ago saying "interfaces describe behavior, types describe shape and structure". Now you acknowledge that the interface necessarily includes the types of the arguments?
No, because they are not medical devices. There is about a four page safety study that was done paid for by the manufacturer, and that is it.
