I think Atomic Data is a pretty cool project in the linked data/knowledge graph space

> Atomic Data is a modular specification for sharing, modifying and modeling graph data. It combines the ease of use of JSON, the connectivity of RDF (linked data) and the reliability of type-safety.

> AtomicServer is an open source, powerful graph database + headless CMS. It's the reference implementation for the Atomic Data specification, written in Rust

Demo: https://atomicdata.dev/

You can absolutely still opt out of body scans. Talk about being unhelpful.
Everyone does thing is stupidly inefficient ways.

For example, we need technical drawings of parts, the only way is through a web interface that fetches from some remote server and you can only do one at a time. So you will often see people copy pasting (or even typing if they're reading from paper) each item code one by one and printing one by one. Another common thing, we use SAP for most things but Excel is required for some stuff by my direct leader but also higher management and there's a lot of sort of awkward getting things out of SAP and into spreadsheets in the right format. So here some basic data manipulation is needed and you see literally everyone doing everything manually most of the time.

In general, I just want to not be wasteful and do repetitive things manually while using a computer with Windows, which is something I'm not used to

Using tool websites is a bit annoying since so much stuff is just blocked
I thought the pieces hitting the ground are not from Starlink.
Yes. It looks like the new warhead will be the W93, to be deployed on the new Columbia class SSBNs. I assume they'd deploy on some sort of upgraded/refurbished Trident missile.

Just do what the job requires of you and in your off time explore and experiment. You're young and the job you currently have absolutely does not fit your interests and they won't magically have the same youthful exuberance that you do and they most likely won't be aligned with the kind of personal growth that you're looking for.

Doing what you love has the potential to completely kill what you love keep that in mind.

Thanks for the reminder to check out the book Death in Yellowstone. According to Randall Munroe it's quite a read.
They can be. For example, Team Astana’s license was initially not renewed for 2007 following a doping scandal.

Unfortunately, the UCI usually reissues the license if the team pinky promises not to dope again.

Team Astana signed Lance Armstrong in 2009 and we all know how that went.
Ironically, this benefits Apple so much.

> I'm not sure also what is defined as a lie here.

It's the "Martha Stewart" lesson. It may be that you have done nothing wrong. The government may stop by and ask you questions anyways. If you lie during those questions you have committed a felony.

Do NOT speak without a lawyer. In particular if you have anything worth losing. Which is more or less everyone.
You raise an important point. To me, pre-IPO "valuation" is mostly VC bullshit. Remember WeWork's pre-IPO valuations??? Jan 2019: 47B USD! What really matters: Post-IPO market cap, as long as there is significant float. (See VinFast IPO with a ridiculously small float.)
When the source is not available, I don’t have to think about whether or not I can use it.

When the source is available, I need to carefully consider what the license is, and if it’s anything other than MIT I’ll have to go through a whole approval process to use the thing. Any experience with corporate means you know the thing cannot be used if you value your sanity.

I just fundamentally believe that making the source available should be the same as making it free/unencumbered. If you need the legal system to enforce your license for you something is going wrong.
Things like this have been done before:

If they’re not prepared for passengers to opt out, the public needs to be aware and the only way they’ll be aware is by delaying hundreds of passengers directly behind you.

as I already said I have tried them all, I spent hours on reddit, I like Obsidian but I don't like paying to synchronize, I don't like syncthing because I have to have the phone turned on while for standardnotes it takes 1 minute to synchronize without using third parties
Thanks for the comment!

That’s possible. For it to work you’d have to create a “dropdown block” and select the “dynamic” option in its settings. Then, you will be able to select a dataframe and the column from that dataframe you want to use as dropdown options.

By the way, every query automatically becomes a dataframe so you can use either a query result’s column or a raw Python dataframe.

As a side note, I’m putting together detailed product documentation this week too and I’ll make sure to include it there.

Currently use markdown files + dropbox for sync. I can't seem to stick with a single notes app for any appreciable length of time but having files in plain text makes it easier to switch.

Currently using:

- Obsidian: this one has stuck the longest

- iA Writer: really pretty, seems to be more useful for longform

- NeoVim: I live it in anyway... may as well

I dug into this, and apparently the Works program was terminated because WWII happened, which obviously depleted people who were using it as a bunch were being either shipped off to war or hired up for war industries. The fact it hasn't been spun up again is worth investigating but it seems its termination had nothing to do with how successful it was.
reputable does not mean amazon. they hide random sellers on some products and lie they are from the oem on the product page.

half of premium kingston models I got from the did not fall under the obvious and amateur scam this tool detects... but were lower quality chips or outright QA failed units. that half always fails around the 3x capacity writes. so infuriating.
That doesn't seem to be most people's experience, see sibling posts.

As another data point, I have several manually-uploaded zip and 7z files of my own documents and content, both encrypted and not, and never had a problem.

The majority of my Drive usage by bytes is encrypted backup pack files uploaded via API by Arq Backup or rclone. That's all worked fine for many years.
> That factory had no clue that they were breaking any law.

The violation of the law occurred when they shipped it internationally. I doubt they were "clueless" about the potential problems involved. I seriously doubt the receiver of the goods was either.

Modern crls are partitioned so this really isn’t a problem you will run into.
Yeah, computers tend to hear differently than humans do, so you can cater some sort of message to them that humans won't process but they will. See https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/12/8/1928 as an example.

They can also be embedded into songs so that humans hear one thing but the computer does something different: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity18/presentat...

There have also been attacks on computer vision systems (like in cars) that can make them suddenly brake or misidentify a lane or street marker, etc., but in ways not obvious to humans: https://adversarial-designs.shop/blogs/blog/adversarial-patc... or to fool facial recognition systems into thinking you're someone else (in a way that won't fool anyone who actually knows you).

And more broadly, any sort of obscured malware tries to deliver a malicious payload while pretending to be something else to the human who runs it.

with the barefoot wait that now is over 30min on lax or other major places. that is the same as losing your flight on the majority of cases.

They are shinier (like you mention) and sell more cases. Matte is obviously easier to get right for surfaces that are meant for human touch, but unfortunately economic incentives are at odds with that.
> Because of the very good consumer protection laws we have here, I got my money back.

Sometimes a scammer will give money back easily just to avoid a negative review, irrespective of local consumer protections or lack thereof, if they have currently managed to maintain a good rep (via exchanging good reviews with buyers who haven't tested the item yet, or have passed it on as a present and never will test it, from fake reviews, managing to get negative reviews cancelled the harder way, and other trickery).

Energy storage also strikes me as a scenario where it is trivial to shop for the best deal. There is no halo around a product for industrial users who are just looking for technical specs given price. Worst for battery manufacturers, I assume it is straightforward to mix and match brands/technologies as the grids expand over time.
Try using RCS?
That sucks for Sam. I've seen luxury homes and normal homes and all homes have problems and luxury ones tend to be way more expensive.
What I mean is that price is not a substitute for quality.

California should have new home warranty protection though and maybe that would cover significant remodels and what not. I am sure he tried the warranty remedy though, or maybe the lawsuit is to force that. I think 4 years for plumbing.. so it would depend on when he closed.

The surgical mask is an excellent low friction strategy. Even if the camera ("accidentally") gets a few snaps of your face, they will be (mostly) useless. And post COVID-19, you still see some people wearing masks on flights, so you don't entirely look like a crazy person.
Counter-suggestion:

Dive totally into the Windows world.

My background was star-nix, and when i found myself having to use Windows, I always did something like Cygwin, gvim, etc. Which worked fine.

But it necessarily limited my expertise in Windows. Being an expert in Windows, while working in a Windows environment, should make you a more valuable player.

When someone asks you how you do something, you don't want their eyes to glaze over when you say "First you have to install Cygwin." You make yourself a useless resource in their opinion.

Everything that can be done as a user in *nix can be done in Windows, in some Windows way. Be useful to yourself and your colleagues.

I think.

That's not really a AI-specific problem though. Any sort of hostile codebreaker is the same sort of threat.

What sort of information would you want to protect from AI but not other humans? If it's a secret, isn't it a matter of who gets to see it, not necessarily what? I'd sooner trust "our AI" than "their human".
Nonetheless, the option exists. Get there early and you have the option.
Emacs is archaic and dying. Use JEdit instead. JEdit is the new Emacs. JEdit is already better than Emacs because it's being written using an excellent new language named Java.
Ok one notable difference: did the linux researchers of yore warn about adversarial giants getting this tech? Or is this unique to the current moment? That for me is the largest question when considering the logical progression on "linux open is better therefore ai open is better".

BTW you should probably still be wearing a mask on a flight if you don't want COVID-19. You also avoid many other diseases as a bonus. This is the new normal - public health is dead and it's all pushed onto the individual now.
My thinking exactly. Surgical masks are commonplace on flights now, and I assume by default that those cameras are already on when I step up.
Indeed `man ascii` (on MacOS but the same for Linux for the most part) shows the manpage for 'ASCII(7)' - the '7' denotes the section of the manual the manpage is from. If you use `man man`, you can see the section numbers and names, e.g. Section 1 General Commands, 5 File Formats, 7 Misc Info, 8 System Manager's Manual. If a word, e.g. 'crontab', has multiple entries in different sections, then you might have to specify the section you want, e.g.`man crontab` shows the crontab(1) (General Command) and use `man -s 5 crontab` to see the crontab(5) (File Format). `apropos crontab` will show entries related to crontab, i.e. cron(8), crontab(1), and crontab(5).

A huge problem with this is that any sort of justice reform is complained about as being soft on crime, which people apparently hate. The justice system is cruel because people demand cruelty out of the justice system.

I was quite shocked to read this, as in it never brushed my mind that it could be. I personally doesn't feel like it is and is one of the reasons why I try to avoid working with that stack at all cost.

I don't think the neon sign is a good excuse for the mess colored functions are. You easily can create a synchronous O(n^4) function, and there are probably tons of quick async functions.
Moreover, your comment might be read as a free pass for using functions and methods that you're not really understanding the behavior off, it obviously doesn't sound like a good thing

The information is only hidden with colorless methods if you consider the documentation to be a place to hide information (o^o).
What's funny is other (possibly less trustable) countries will have your scan anyway... try "opting" out of the face scan when you arrive in India.
I think that there were no reported cases of Starlink debris hitting the ground (they're designed to burn up in atmosphere). There was a case of SpaceX's Dragon parts hitting the ground lately, but that's a different thing. Also debris hitting the ground is a different issue than debris in orbit, with different problems to solve - you can have a satellite that has 0 chance to hit the ground, while being a serious hazard in space. It's in SpaceX best interest to not leave debris in orbit, because any debris from Starlink would be a threat to Starlink itself.
dbus and rarely used systemd features (like trusting values from BIOS to create files in your fs root) included for vms but left laying around on baremetal builds will be the major attack vectors on linux for years to come.

The whole “boiling the frog” meme is that nobody notices the rights being curtailed over time. I understand the whole “not in public” thing but there’s still got to be a point where the depth and/or breadth of information gathered is too much.
> The technology isn’t there, but they have a deadline

The technology is there, as demonstrated by OpenAI's ChatGPT Voice Mode. With the resources and talent that Amazon possesses, they should at least be able to demo something similar. It's just that the Alexa organization is a mess, which prevents it from happening.
You just need a very big net.
Citation? Wikipedia would appreciate your contribution.

It's not hard to find earlier examples where the phrase is used to describe enabling and (yes) leveraging community contributions to accomplish things that otherwise wouldn't be practical; see my other post for a couple of those.

But then people will rightfully object that the term "Open Source", when used in a capacity related to journalistic or intelligence-gathering activities, doesn't have anything to do with software licensing. Even if OSI had trademarked the phrase, which they didn't, that shouldn't constrain its use in another context.

To which I'd counter that this statement is equally true when discussing AI models. We are going to have to completely rewire copyright law from the ground up to deal with this. Flame wars over what "Open Source" means or who has the right to use the phrase are going to look completely inconsequential by the time the dust settles.
The entitlement in your imperative demonstrated the principle.
Seems to be one constant here, yourself. And you know how the saying goes…
I'd look into writing and running your own browser extension for any of the web-based stuff. Javascript is more expressive (I believe) than AHK scripts and can easily manipulate the DOM/HTML to extract and parse data, fill in fields, or even do additional remote logins and fetches -- all without anything your admin has to install.

I don't know if your SAP is a desktop app or a website, but if it's a website, you can probably transform its output (or its AJAX calls) into some other format. Not too sure how you'd get it into and out of Excel after that (maybe via API if there is one, or you can generate a VBscript and use AHK to run it in Excel?)

If you voted for the lawmakers in power, it's your responsibility to hold them accountable for their actions and to check at that level.

If you didn't vote for them, these laws still represent the choice of the majority (or at least of their representatives).

Either way, surveillance laws are a direct consequence of our democratic process and must be acknowledged as such.
