I really don't, but it is evident that you have a vendetta against me. I have no conflict of interest. I have simply come to the logical conclusion that it's a hazardous to stick to use it if you don't want to be stuck on an old version of Python.
Though not relevant to the Atlantic ocean, it is worth noting that the Australian coral reef has in fact recovered from the disastrous state it was after the bleaching and damage events in 2016/2017. Reef coverage is in fact at the highest levels ever recorded in some areas.

It does make one wonder why this more recent good news has not found the same level of exposure as when the situation was bleak back then. Perhaps good news just doesn't gather as many clicks.
That seems like a problem on your end.

Some people never reach Senior level, both on skill level and impact. Judging someone level purely on time is a sure way to promote incompetent and lose talent that is developing faster than average. Organization promoting mediocrity, where people are awarded with random bonuses instead of opportunities.

How can you expect anything substantial from senior developers if you promoted them purely on experience measured in time?. How anybody would be motived if they can just wait for promotion? How can hire people on senior positions if you do not have internal metrics for these positions? How can you get rid of underperformers?
Different kinds of hackers then, I suppose.

> ZIRP was toxic. It made us bad and lazy.

Yes. It makes me really nervous to see people celebrating the fed talking about lowering rates. Maybe rates should be lowered a bit, sure, I don't know. But please, please don't ever let us go back to zero-interest. As a person who works with technology, that era was so incredibly depressing. So much waste. I'm on the verge of leaving the tech industry because of what happened over the past 10 years. City bus drivers don't have to share an industry with SBF and Juicero and Elon Musk, you know?
The average car on the road is 12 years old. So if we make a change today the average car will have it in 12 years, and the majority a few years latter. This isn't instant, but it is fast enough if the change is good.

My first prototype of execution replay I implemented was for Linux processes (in like, 2000 or something), which I did by modifying Linux. The primary thing I did there was to instrument copy_to_user().

The final version of execution replay that I did was for Xen, which had the asynchronous device drivers. In that case, the goal of the drivers was to have the device do DMA directly into the guest's memory space, and thus had to be modeled as an external processor. If you were content to modify your virtual devices to always doing copying, it would be significantly easier.

But yeah, in both cases you just have so much that the thing underneath might be doing, it's hard to tell which is going to be more fragile. :-)

The final version also did multi-processor VMs, using the paging hardware to track sharing across virtual cpus [1]. The key take-away from that was, "It's slow, but often not as slow as you might think."

Gee, if only there was some kind of rigorous and well understood process for determining how to transform discrete observations according to how representative they are, such that we could build a model for a larger population.

Something like that would be very useful for political decision, so perhaps we could name it after the latin word for "of the state"…

What is the frequency? I haven't read much on it.

Honestly, I'm not sure the frequency needs to be extraordinarily high. The ability to get rid of the "but think of all the jobs that will be lost" argument lets us get rid of swaths of bullshit jobs that don't need to exist, or even actually harmful jobs. It's been a constant roadblock to greater automation.

Thumbs up for clevis/tang, happy user here, too!

Did not hear about booster. Its README claims "Clevis style data binding. The encrypted filesystem can be bound to TPM2 chip or to a network service.". Does it mean that it tries to deliver various bindings independently from clevis pins, even when duplicating their functions?
Sounds like someone (your parents? the company you work at? your school?) have installed a firewall of some sorts.

The ride to what? The place where human musicians can't earn a living because they can't live on less than what it costs to have an AI regurgitate the melodic patterns, chord progressions, and other music theory it has learned? This benefits who, exactly? It's a race to the bottom. Who is going to pay anything for music that can be generated basically for free? Who is going to go to a concert or festival to listen to a computer? Who is going to buy merchandise? Are the hardware, models, and algorithms used going to capture the public interest like the personalities and abilities of the musicians in a band? Will anyone be a "fan" of this kind of music? Will there be an AI Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Prince, or Taylor Swift?
Crosswalks. The "car crossings" for pedestrians and bikes are called crosswalks. They're dedicated sections of road, typically selected for high visibility, specially demarcated and often even specifically signaled. High-speed traffic is generally kept away from other modes of transit by means of elevated highway sections (in high-density areas).

My dude, this is literally exactly what I had in mind.

It's early 20th century (and later) black American dialect to say things "have soul" or "don't have soul." In the West, Black Americans are associated with a mystical connection to the Earth, deeper understandings, and suffering.

This is a complete tangent but:

In Terminator 1 Skynet looses because John Conner taught people how to fight the machines, but John Conner only knows this because Kyle Reese taught Sarah Conner how to fight the machines and she taught John Conner. But Kyle Reese only knows this because he was taught by John Conner- so there's no actual source of the information on how to fight the machines, it's a loop with no beginning or end.

I had a philosophy teacher who said this is evidence of divine intervention to destroy Skynet, essentially God told people through John Conner how to win, but a cut scene in Terminator 1 implies Skynet was also created by reverse engineering the chip in the destroyed Terminator- implying there's also no origin of the information on how to create Skynet and it's also an infinite loop.
A frequent form of lack of tolerance for risk I’ve seen is not being able to make a speed vs quality trade-off. One example:

We were rolling out a change that had a small risk that we’ll have to manually reboot a couple of machines. The total disruption to business would’ve been less than $10k for sure. I had to fight people who wanted to spend 3 months writing a one-ff tooling lowering the chance of it happening. Madness!

Giant trucks are entirely unnecessary. Most work is done with a work van not truck now. Trucks can’t even carry sheet goods sensibly even more. Even if they can the beds are so high as to be impractical loading and unloading.

Modern pick ups are urban tanks meant to out weigh other vehicles protecting the occupants. That’s why people buy them, because they are scared. Of the other scared idiots in the other urban tanks.
various. Notable I, some years ago, had a project that considered automatic consolidation of ontologies based on meta-ontologies and heuristics.

The idea being that everyone have their own ontology for the data they release and the system would make a consolidated ontology that could be used to automatic integration of data from different datasources.

regardless, that project did not get traction, so now it sits.

You’re conflating entertainment shows with university lectures.

The point of videos like the aforementioned isn’t to give people a background into game development. It’s to give people who have no experience an overview for entertainment purposes.
Yeah, these discussions are fascinating but I'd still think it's not very hard to learn how to blow stuff up and sabotage assembly lines, given enough tries.

So it's not exactly an infinite loop IMO, it's more like that the first iteration was more crude and the machines were difficult to kill but then people learned and passed the information along back in time, eventually forming the infinite loop -- it still had a first step though, it didn't come out of nothing.
Totally agree with that. It's an aid to lay bricks, doesn't do your job for you.

Yup. I'm from a farming community and basically all the farmers keep around circa 90s trucks because those had sensible beds and weren't 20ft off the ground.

What an incredibly bad faith reply. Candidates should always be given an answer within a few days of finishing the interview. But it’s not good for a candidate to think they’ve bombed during the interview.

If someone fails my interview, it is completely possible that they’ll still get an offer. I have one data point, and my colleagues are going to collect more. I’ve changed my vote from no to yes in debriefs many times once I saw other feedback. But that’s a lot less likely to happen if my interview wrecks their confidence.
The developers either created or commissioned the website. Accordingly, I think we can safely assume it conveys their goals.
I'm only starting to learn about these things.

From the data I've seen and read it seems like low interest rates are (politically) alluring, because of short term metrics, but will bite back via inflation and bubbles bursting very consistently.

Is there any wisdom and data that challenges or expands on this that a layman can understand?
I'm suggesting that you don't know who wrote the content. You don't know the developers wrote it. And if a non-developer wrote it, then that person probably isn't going to commit the content to a repo.

> My reading of how mDNS works is that it should suffer from similar problems to SSDP on routers that can't broadcast/multicast between radios

This smells of someone who is not a network engineer. mDNS works fine, it has known ways to route it across broadcast domains, and actually, way more products out of the box can "reflect" mDNS across VLANs than SSDP. What on earth does that have to do with broadcasting "between radios"?.

> This is because the speakers all know where each other are on the local network (thanks to SSDP),

But you just said above they switched to mDNS?

No way.

If google decides that they don’t want to fund Mozilla anymore, then these Firefox derivatives fall as well. I don’t really see the zen team (or other ff forks) hiring the FF devs that are making 6 figures at Mozilla.

If Firefox decides to deeply ingrain some DRM standard, there’s a high likelihood that it’ll be included in downstream browsers like this one, unless they are privacy nuts like librewolf.

We need entirely new browsers that are more than window dressing on top of existing ones.

https://ibb.co/gtJghBP
https://ibb.co/9nvHT1P

1) The half transparent green font color is really hard to read over a white background.

2) It fails to recongize already filled in squares and tries to change them. The source is computer generated and the image is pretty clear. It seems like a best case scenario for digit recongnition, nevertheless it fails.

3) It constantly re-evaluates while I'm trying to hold the puzzle up to the camera with varying degrees of success. Too fast for me to get a screen grab when I see a successful attempt among all the failures.

Cool project though! I was excited to try it :)
You say that and I guarantee you that people who have dedicated their career to that particular topic will say those “science communicators” are technically incorrect due to the generalisations and/or analogies made in the explanation.

It’s such a common behavioural tendency with general audience publications that someone coined a law for it (the name of which I forget but I’m sure someone else on here can reply with it).
They certainly are retrofitted, but the existing semantic tags are largely abandoned for div soups that are beaten into shape and submission by lavish amounts of JS and a few sprinkles of CSS (and the latter often as CSS-in-JS). For microformats there is at least a little ecosystem already, and the vendor-driven committees don't need to be involved.
Construction cones and stop signs are easy to move. *hint hint*
Yeah, this is hiking the original Semantic Web goal post over the horizon, across the ocean, up a mountain, and cutting it down to a little stump downhill in front of the kicker compared to the original claims. "It's going to change the world! Everything will be contained in RDF files that anyone can trivially embed and anyone can run queries against the Knowledge Graph to determine anything they want!"

"We've achieved victory! After over 25 years, if you want to know who wrote a blog post, you can get it from a few sites this way!"

I'd call it damning with faint success, except it really isn't even success. Relative to the promises of "Semantic Web" it's simply a failure. And it's not like Semantic Web was overpromised a bit, but there were good ideas there and the reality is perhaps more prosaic but also useful. No, it's just useless. It failed, and LLMs will be the complete death of it.

The "Semantic Web" is not the idea that the web contains "semantics" and someday we'll have access to them. That the web has information on it is not the solution statement, it's the problem statement. The semantic web is the idea that all this information on the web will be organized, by the owners of the information, voluntarily, and correctly, into a big cross-site Knowledge Graph that can be queried by anybody. To the point that visiting Wikipedia behind the scenes would not be a big chunk of formatted text, but a download of "facts" embedded in tuples in RDF and the screen you read as a human a rendered result of that, where Wikipedia doesn't just use self-hosted data but could grab "the Knowledge Graph" and directly embed other RDF information from the US government or companies or universities. Compare this dream to reality and you can see it doesn't even resemble reality.

Nobody was sitting around twenty years ago going "oh, wow, if we really work at this for 20 years some people might annotate their web blogs with their author and people might be able to write bespoke code to query it, sometimes, if we achieve this it will have all been worth it". The idea is precisely that such an act would be so mundane as to not be something you would think of calling out, just as I don't wax poetic about the <b> tag in HTML being something that changes the world every day. That it would not be something "possible" but that it would be something your browser is automatically doing behind the scenes, along with the other vast amount of RDF-driven stuff it is constantly doing for you all the time. The very fact that someone thinks something so trivial is worth calling out is proof that the idea has utterly failed.

Recession and crisis in the IT industry. 7 months of interviews with 50 managers
Over the course of seven months, I conducted more than 50 interviews with top-level managers, mainly CEO (chief executive officer), CTO (chief technology officer), CFO (chief financial officer), COO (chief operating officer) and CIO (chief innovation/IT officer), from countries such as Poland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and Sweden. These meetings gave me the opportunity to hear a variety of perspectives on the onset of the crisis in the markets, especially in the IT and high-tech industry, and to learn about the current situation in companies. The following transcripts are based on these reflections and the data collected.
Monetization is the elephant in the room in my opinion.

IMDB could easily be a service entirely dedicated to hosting movie metadata as RDF or JSON-LD. They need to fund it though, and the go to seems to be advertising and API access. Advertising means needing human readable UI, not metadata, and if they put data behind an API its a tough sell to use a standardized and potentially limiting format.
