Running Windows at scale for use by average non-security-professional workers is negligent.
Sure, there are books like Software Architecture the hard parts and even the well architected framework from AWS but they only indicate possible ways to investigate problem domains, design solutions and test and validate implementations, but it's all context dependent
EVs were ready. The Nissan Leaf was the first successful mass market one.

Rockets that land themselves were talked about since the 60s and prototyped by Lockheed in the 90s as the DC-X. (Search YouTube for some flight tests.) The funding just wasn’t there after the Cold War was over and excitement about space was at a low point.

I’m not taking away from the great accomplishments of the engineers at Tesla and SpaceX. What I’m pointing out is that in both cases Musk was raising money to complete and bring to market things that were already quite proven to be achievable. EVs and vertical landing rockets had been done, just not as well.

Rapid tunneling, FSD, and Neurolink are all things nobody has done or done well. Success rate is much worse in that domain because there is a lot less prior art to draw from and less certainty about a solution.
They could have let it die. They didn't have to.
One obstacle to increasing the amount of bikes lanes isn't money, but opposition to reducing the amount of curbside space for parking.

My hope is AVs will reduce car ownership, which in turn reduces the amount of curbside space for required cars (Hopefully AVs can be parked at a few centralised parking lots). In turn this will allow for more bike lanes and bus lanes leading to improved active transport and public transport options.
> Why can't I just use Windows Defender and a network scanner for detection, and netboot the endpoints to make bootkits useless?

Defender for Endpoint runs in kernel mode. If you just mean plain jane Defender, well, there's a reason Microsoft sells Defender for Endpoint.

I'm not sure what a network scanner is intended to do here but if you mean a network intrusion detection system, those still exist but the market has kind of been strangled by EDR because you get higher fidelity detections and need one fewer skillset.

> It works just fine and has for a long time.

Sort of. There are a lot of controls (MDM and sandboxing and such) that go into that. I'd guess most orgs would just slap EDR on the phones if they could. Again, same result with fewer skillsets and products if so. You need a pretty severe risk to outweigh that and I'm not sure a one-time incident and the slight risk of an actual hostile compromise of an EDR vendor get there. Maybe if there are more like this.
Good ideas finally need government backing and adoption to scale and sustain. OSS has been facing tough times since cloud providers like AWS came in. Moves like this will help keep the open source spirit alive. Really proud to see this and hope more governments go this way.
No, there is no vision LLM that produces confidence numbers to my knowledge.
Unfortunately we have created a reward system that gives a huge number of "followers" to the one who records. Followers are capital that translate to money (cf. cougar guy, hawk tuah, etc.) Someone could be the next to monetize their following as the "yellowstone lava dude".

Can we somehow instead create an socioeconomic system that instead rewards those that turn and run?

Like if you can prove that you turned and ran, you don't have to pay taxes that year to the IRS.

The government in turn saves money on rescue efforts of sorts. It all works out.
Tools (and Rust is a tool) are only ever as good as the hands of the one wielding them.
That’s correct - it’s something you should do in Python.

To pull data from the API you can use the requests package which is already within your Python environment.

If you have sensitive API keys you can add them to your environment variables list and then read them with Python too so they’re not apparent in the code.
You're going to run out of coins I think.
I've mostly switched over to Waymo, but had to take Ubers twice in the last month:

* The first one, the driver made multiple racist remarks about different groups he observed as we drove.

* The second one, the driver talked at length about UFOs and how they are real, for the entire 50 minute drive.

Most drivers are totally normal and don't do things like that, but the tail end of negative experiences can be quite bad. Dirty cars, loud radios, body odor, and unsafe driving are all relatively common with human drivers. A Lyft driver I was riding with a few years back almost ran over a man in a wheelchair who had the right of way.

Wait times are also more reliable so far with Waymo. It's not uncommon for an Uber/Lyft driver to accept a ride but then not drive toward you for 5+ minutes. Waymo has the advantage of predictability - both in terms of arrival time and overall travel time (whereas there is variance among human drivers).

Sometimes I've had Waymos get stuck, but it usually resolves within 10-15 seconds.

Given how smooth, predictable, and safe Waymos are, I don't see a strong reason to risk a negative experience with a human driver (beyond ideological reasons). However, I hope another strong provider comes on the market soon to give them some competition.
But that's just certificate auth, which happens during session establishment and before data transmission isn't it? So isn't it an idp with cert auth as the primary first factor?

This is a chart of battery CELL production.

Megapack (a giant battery pack for grid energy storage) has much more in it than just battery cells.

Tesla's Megapack sales are growing rapidly, they just ramped one U.S. factory from 10 GWh to 40 GWh and are building another 40 GWh factory in China.

Every few weeks there's another big project announced that will use Megapacks.

As far as I know Tesla is a decisive leader in that field but hard to tell because while there is competition, they don't disclose the sales.
Suggesting everyone should have to use a specific bike is exactly a suggestion like that - bikes have sizes and shapes that are suited to riders of particular body sizes and shapes.

Do driverless cars make all this moot?
That is hard for me to believe. Men are SO much more dateable in their 30's and 40's than in their 20's. There's a reason women traditionally date older men, and only part of it is economics. Though money matters too, and older men tend to have more of it, which does come in handy when starting a family.

My central point is this:

"are available for most people to use for a lot of stuff, and this is way way better than what competitors like OpenAI offer."

I presume you agree with it.

> rather than serving access

Its not the same access though.

I am sure that you are creative enough to think of many questions that you could ask llama3, that would instead get you kicked off of OpenAI.

> They don't "[allow] developers to modify its code however they want"

Actually, the fact that the model weights are available means that you can even ignore any limitations that you think are on it, and you'll probably just get away with it. You are also ignoring the fact that the limitations are minimal to most people.

Thats a huge deal!

And it is dishonest to compare a situation where limitations are both minimal and almost unenforceable (Except against maybe Google) to a situation where its physically not possible to get access to the model weights to do what you want with them.
The argument you are making here is that somebody else will figure it out. However, the argument you made before depends on that any arbitrary entity will figure it out with time and money. Those are categorically different.

If, in the first place, you actually meant that somebody else will figure it out, then it is logically unsound to argue that a arbitrarily chosen entity, Tesla in this case, is a shoe-in to figure it out as well. You need to present actual arguments for why they in particular will be a somebody.

If you actually thought the argument you presented initially was logically sound, then you meant everybody and the arguments you have just made are irrelevant as they only argue “there exists”, not “for all” which is what your initial argument rested on.

tl;dr You are mixing up “there exists” and “for all”.

Doing RADIUS certs with Windows Server is just a pain every time I go to do it. Mostly lack of a good how to that covers the subset of what is needed to use RADIUS to get on the WiFi. The MS docs cover the kitchen sink, the patio and the front yard. And since I’m not a RADIUS practitioner, I’m never certain if I made a secure thing. (I guess the answer is no with the recent RADIUS design flaw disclosure). Perfect space for an appliance IMO, once RADIUS is cleaned up. I think any security-minded SMB will want to stop using WPA2 for WiFi authentication. I know we have one firewalled as a guest network, always getting hammered on from the outside.

Can’t really advise what makes a good MVP for your effort. But if I could buy a box that was set and forget for this function, kept itself patched, complained when it couldn’t and wasn’t too expensive, I could acquire one where I work.

I appreciate the additional information, but I'm not sure what you're claiming is a fundamental misunderstanding on my part. I was referring to running the model with quantization, and was clear that I hadn't verified the accuracy of the claims.

The comment about the MPS PyTorch backend was related to performance, not whether the model would fit at all. I can't say whether it's accurate that the MPS backend has significant room for optimization, but it is still publicly listed as in beta.

At least on Amazon and eBay, I'll buy from the user whose name matches the brand.

Of course if it's "brand"-usa or something iterative you should check.

When this happened to me 13 years ago it was kind of different. Amazon didn't offer returns on memory products and the vendor display name was a non unique settable string, different from their URL stub corresponding to their username.

Amazon gave me their condolences after I forwarded them the conversation from Kingston's warranty department exposing the fraud but not my money back.

They've gotten better on all these fronts.

Additionally they used to be flooded with lookalike frauds in memory up until a few years ago. You'd have the mysterious Sannsung or SamDisk products. They've cracked down on that too.

And lastly there are other major etailers that don't do this third party retail stuff

It'll be interesting to come back here in a couple of years and see what's left. What do they even do anymore? They have Facebook, which hasn't visibly changed in a decade. They have Instagram, which feels a bit sleeker but also remained more or less the same. and Whatsapp. Ad network that runs on top of those services and floods them with trash. Bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to exist anymore - Libra, the grandiose multibillion dollar Legless VR, etc.

But they still have 70 thousand people (a small country) doing _something_. What are they doing? Updating Facebook UI? Not really, the UI hasn't been updated, and you don't need 70 thousand people to do that. Stuff like React and Llama? Good, I guess, we'll see how they make use of Llama in a couple of years. Spellcheck for posts maybe?

The board of Tesla represents Musk. Their actions lay this bare. They would have fired him after he attempted (and later succeeded) to extort Tesla.
No, cars are still very space inefficient which is a big problem in the densest cities in the world. A train carrying a thousand passengers past every three minutes is much better than the capacity of a road, especially during congestion
The sad thing is it used to be much better before they started adding the whole 'Eco' thing where it supposedly finds a more gas-efficient route. Except the algorithm seems to fail to account for things like start-and-stop and elevation changes, so it will send you climbing over a mountain road that's half a mile shorter than a nearby highway, and you end up burning twice as much fuel.

It's problematic enough where I live that I usually set the starting point for directions at the on-ramp at a nearby highway because the directions maps gives me for getting to that spot are often patently bad.

They really need a way to have users customize the routing much more. For example, there should be an option to minimize the number of steps in the route. Or at least be able to tell it that 'shortcuts' better save me more than 10% of the time to my destination, not a single minute off a 3-hour drive.

> Chinatown is stuck in the 1950s. It's not modern China.

This is a really weird complaint. SF Chinatown is a neighborhood settled by mostly Cantonese speaking immigrants in the mid 19th century, and still mostly inhabited by descendants of Chinese immigrants who moved to the US generations ago. Why would you expect it (or want it) to be "modern China"?
Yeah, the whole "order an Uber/Lyft, but they don't move for 5 minutes" phenomenon. Had this happen for a trip from MTV to SF, I guess they sit at home and wait for a ride?

Uber and Lyft MUST be hurting in SF.

Personally have switched to Waymo, most people I know have switched to Waymo. Find that it's induced a lot of personal demand. I'd rather wait a little longer and have a safe, comfortable ride, than drive in SF myself, circle around trying to find parking, and then be worried about my window being smashed, etc.
Mine's a 2022.. I'll look into that, thanks.
It's actually a little bit worse in terms of seeding torrents. Stremio (and things like Kodi) shine when you combine them with a torrent caching service like real-debrid. The stream links become direct download links and no torrenting happens at all.

All the media in the world and no waiting at all. It works better than any streaming platform.

I have no plans on competing; for a purely civilian purpose, is there a way to get the "motor doping" stuff for bikes? It seems like it would be kind of cool to get a bit of an artificial push when biking.
Exactly, you want space and a community that shares your values. And car ownership makes that possible and you’d rather that than the trade off. This is how most people feel.

I'm no fan of the Russian government here, but what exactly is the legal basis for seizing the Russian state's overseas assets?

It needs to be something much, much stronger than "well, they're obviously the Bad Guys", or, "UN says theyre bad", because while that might be true, no one invades a country thinking they are the baddies. The US invaded Iraq without UN sanction, for example, Turkey invaded Cyprus, the British of old invaded, well, everywhere, etc.

So it would seem to require some legal standard, and also some protection to stop legalistic fig leaves over a one sided majority out to get a country (eg imagine if the standard was "UN agrees invader is bad" and then Russia and China persuaded the UN that Japan had invaded Sakhalin Island because a fishing boat landed there.)

To repeat: Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine, but seizure of assets requires more than blog posts by "russiamustpay" dot com.
That's actually a very evolutionarily logical response to encountering a predator though.

Most predators can outrun deer (and ever more so, humans). If you start running, they WILL instinctively chase and kill you. If you stand there, look big, and stare at them like you don't give a shit, predators actually start to question their own confidence and there is a good chance they will walk away rather than take a chance with you.

As for geological events, I imagine evolution hasn't really optimized much for that. They are extremely rare, if you're a deer standing on an erupting volcano you can't exactly outrun it either.
Somewhat off topic but: How difficult is it get get between SF and San Jose via public transportation? I ask because I'm looking at jobs and initially wasn't considering San Jose; however, I would if it was fairly easy to get to SF's amenities.

According to the link below there are 529 accidents per 100 million miles driven for people aged 20-29. That is a bit better than 99.999% reliable.

Google seems to have decided that it will show you the alternate routes if it feels like it. Or when you're halfway through the route. Or not even at all. Or especially fun, it will prompt you about a faster route, but with a prompt that disappears after a little while, and when you go to the 'alternate routes' section, that route is nowhere to be found.

Certainly not for records that are made of multiple lines.
>>> Particles have a defined position and momentum [...] If you somehow learned these then the shannon entropy is zero.

>> Entropy in classical statistical mechanics is proportional to the logarithm of the volume in phase space [and diverges to minus infinity if you define precisely the position and momentum of the particles and the volume in phase sphere goes to zero]

> [It's zero also] if you consider the phase space because then it is reduced to a single point (you need a bit of distribution theory to prove it rigorously but it is somewhat intuitive).

> The probability p of an microstate is always between 0 and 1, therefore p ln(p) is always negative and S is always positive.

The points in the phase space are not "microstates" with probability between 0 and 1. It's a continuous distribution and if it collapses to a point (i.e. you somehow learned the exact positions and momentums) the density at that point is unbounded. The entropy is also unbounded and goes to minus infinity as the volume in phase space collapses to zero.

You can avoid the divergence by dividing the continuous phase space into discrete "microstates" but having a well-defined "microstate" corresponding to some finite volume in phase space is not the same as what was written above about "particles having a defined position and momentum" that is "somehow learned". The microstates do not have precisely defined positions and momentums. The phase space is not reduced to a single point in that case.

If the phase space is reduced to a single point I'd like to see your proof that S(ρ) = −k ∫ ρ(x) log ρ(x) dx = 0

My prediction (dating back to 2015 when I was working at Uber) is that the cost per trip will never make sense for this to be a viable business model in the way Waymo presents itself as a product. I would really be curious to know how much Google has spent on this project over the last 15-20 years. There are many cheap Honda Civics and many unskilled people to drive them vs the custom real time hardware and software solutions required to power a Waymo trip.
