If I'm physically off, the most productive thing I can do is give myself space to recover. I try to refill my "Sims bars": sleep, eat, socialize etc. If I get bored, I might just clean the flat, triage my Downloads folder, and maybe pick some easy tasks from my to-do list. It gives me a clean slate for the next day, which really helps me recover.

If I'm emotionally off, I leave all work aside and take myself on a date. That usually means cycling to a breakfast place I like, going to a museum, getting drinks with friends or reading in a pleasant place.

Above all, I accept that not every day will be productive, and that forcing myself to produce consistent output is not a good idea.

> if they just passively host the content

But specifically, the issue with the likes of today's Facebook and Twitter (no idea about Telegram) is that they do NOT «just passively host the content», in fact they started to actively engage into its editorializing as soon as they switched to using «algorithmic feeds» !

This has even been a pretty big legislative battle in EU a few years ago, when there were attempts to try to legislate «3rd way(s)» between the extremes of dumb hosting and online newspaper :

Not that underpaid workers aren't an issue, but - in my experience working in kitchens, the owner / person controlling the funds is very rarely actually on the cooking team. And so the respect comes from other team members, not management.
This is a dangerous way to think about it. State and time are different things, and if you think of them as the same, then your mental model glosses over some parts of reality that will become important as your software grows more complex.

State is inherently dangerous BECAUSE a program runs TEMPORALLY. As the number of state changes increases, the dangers of an unwanted state increase (particularly insidious are the state combinations you thought weren't even possible). This is why functional programmers favor immutability and idempotent functions.

Also: Just because the EXTERNAL observability of state hasn't changed is no reason to assume that no state changes have occurred. Hidden state changes are the most dangerous of all.

BattlEye is generally broken even on windows (though it happens that it is actually working as intended right now). Cheaters generally use windows, and switching to Linux will only be done when the windows anticheat is considerably harder to break, and with proton/wine, you even get to run the same version on both.
This falls squarely into the "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to consider whether they should" category.

There are so many unknowns with potentially horrifying answers.

We don't know what generates human consciousness. But we know the brain is a key part of it. At what point does a bunch of lab grown human neurons become conscious? Can it become conscious outside of a body? What would that experience be like if a lab grown brain used as a computer developed consciousness? And what would happen to that consciousness?

The potential energy savings aren't worth risking the potential horror.

Maybe I'm too cautious, but - from what I understand our research into consciousness isn't very thorough. Meaning, we do not know the causes and thresholds for consciousness.

So, to me, it seems like until that threshold is very clearly established, any work with 'organoids' is hazardous at best, but more than likely just wildly inappropriate.

Rerun is a fantastic tool. I've made my team adopt it to visualise all of our (Rust) inference pipeline, it's been instrumental to improve our system.

I'm very impressed that not only they develop rerun, but they are mostly building the entire UI from scratch through egui. Very serious syndrome of not invented here but the result is astonishing! Their blog also has some very interesting posts on the code.
Quite unbelievable how AMD has botched the Zen5 release, especially since there was no need in rushing these CPUs out the door at all. Why couldn't they wait until these improvements were commonly available? Also, at least from initial testing, it seems that these changes improve Zen4 performance almost the same way as Zen5, so at least when it comes to gaming performance, there's currently no reason to expect that Zen5 will be able to justify its increased price tag. I can safely say that buying a 5800X3D was one of the best purchases I ever made, I still see no reason to upgrade...

A little bit OT, but: AV is "intrusive" often because the OS lacks
proper APIs that would allow AV to be not intrusive.

I'm always confused by the fact that people rather rant about AVs trying
to overcome limitations of OS instead of ranting about the OS that is so
behind that doesn't include proper APIs for software that is established
as needed for the past 40 years.

"Nevertheless, the Pentagon’s clandestine propaganda efforts are set to continue.

It always amuses me whenever a biology story here gets the tech crowd quivering, when they would normally be crowing gleefully about ASI and human obsolescence.
From Wikipedia:

"In 2023, former Italian prime minister Giuliano Amato said that France downed the plane while targeting a Libyan military jet in an attempt to kill Muammar Gaddafi. Amato said that Italy tipped off Libya about the planned assassination and consequently Gaddafi did not board the Libyan military jet"

To be honest, this theory of mistaken identity sounds much more plausible than anybody shooting down (or bombing) a random passenger plane flying an Italian domestic flight on purpose. Whether the presumably Libyan plane they actually targeted was transporting nuclear material or Gaddafi, I have no idea. Shame on them anyway for covering it up.

Does that include any of the apps that block screenshots? If not, this again becomes a more complex version of "don't use such apps".
But its still a massively better approach long term rather than making up some hacking project, quadruple that if one owns the place. I mean sure its nice to see such creativity, but in our lifetimes how often do we see some... lets say a bit different folks being obsessed in one topic, neglecting all other aspects or much simpler, yet less 'hacked on my own' solutions.

I mean it literally, one example out of endless sea - a peer making some VR game about collecting virtual balls by vacuuming over them in pacman style, across whole apartment, so kids do the work. Instead of learning children to accept the suck a bit since life will bring you millions more such situations, man up and just do it, without additional external motivation and hand holding. But he wanted to play around with tech primarily, not thinking much about potential consequences (kids outright refusing activities that aren't fun and strengthening this mindset). Of course that vacuuming is also pretty crappy at the end, instead of thinking 'there is corner / weird place that I should cover too', they just run quickly through all virtual balls, missing the core reason for vacuuming.

I have seen project teams diving into developing a new application without having a basic diagram in place explaining any aspect of the solution -- including the data model.

Not sure what it takes for simple ER diagrams to become the norm for project documentation. In spite of so many tools being available in this space hardly anyone actually uses them in practice.

Maybe Microsoft has to make it a feature in Excel or PowerPoint for people to use it?

These diagrams need not be exhaustive but should convey the key structure and relations as per context. We can create a dozen small diagrams for the same database if needed to document the requirements and design. Whatever works and does the job of communicating and documenting.
I bet larger part of that was project decided by the management, with unrealistic goals and some external interested party stating they are possible...
> for someone who develops web application backends and larger distributed systems

Blazor: It's Microsoft's way of doing in-browser C#. It can do quick-and-dirty server-side HTML, and professional-grade, in-browser WASM.

Why is this useful "for someone who develops web application backends"?

The nice thing about server-side Blazor is that you can make a management console, or otherwise port ops scripts, into a self-service page. Because you can choose to render on the server, you don't have to write an API, serialize your response, ect. You can do a SQL-ish query (with LINQ and Entity Framework) in the middle of HTML.

(Granted, for production-grade pages Blazor can run in the browser as WASM and use industrial-strength APIs.)

Read generously, they're talking about with supplemental oxygen. At 35k feet, even with pure oxygen, many people will not be able to breathe and most will not be able to comfortably. (Above 40k feet, supplemental oxygen no longer works--everybody needs pressurised oxygen.)

many such offerings around, it seems. What I am looking for however, is a tool which I can use / script against. My use case is to produce (relatively straightforward) db diagrams from some model descriptions I have (part of another process). I have table names, column names, and relationships in a memory structure, and want to draw an ER like diagram. Currently looking at producing this wit plantuml, generating the puml file form my data, then running plantuml to generate the png / svg.

Looking around i find most tools in this corner are either full fledged DB design tools with their own editor, but no API. The others like this and things like dbdiagram.io usually are focused online only, which is not an option for me.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
Putting a government monitored streaming video camera in every bedroom and bathroom in the country to detect sexual assault would also be "defense in depth". But it would be a terrible thing to do, both because it's easily evaded (do your rape someplace else) and because of the intrusion. Any kind of defense in depth argument has to consider how easily bypassed the defense is and the cost it comes at.

Believe it or not, most people don't play video games against strangers. Anti-cheat is not of any value to them. Even for people who do play video games against strangers even uncompromised anti-cheat doesn't stop many forms of cheating like macro-mouses. Especially now with all the success being shown at machine learning playing video games with nothing more than a video feed and the button inputs, the amount that anti-cheat can help is clearly quite bounded and getting worse over time.

And the cost? Anti-cheat comes at the cost of general purpose computing, at the cost of being able to control the computers with which you trust your most intimate secrets. It's a civil liberties nightmare, or at least a per-requisite technology for many such nightmares. Opposition to anti-cheat is opposition to RMS's Right to read dystopia (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html).

I don't think it's too far a leap that saying that anti-cheat or DRM technology that comes at the expense of the availability of general purpose computing is more of a problem for human rights than the farcical bedroom cameras I started with.

So when you advocate anti-cheating technology that locks users out of controlling their own computers, you're favoring an at-best incremental improvement which can still be evaded for a narrow application that most people don't care about... and this comes at the expense of imperiling the human rights of others.

Like with many things there is an asymmetry to the costs: Anti-cheat and DRM substantially fail if even a moderate amount of dedicated people still have a way to cheat. Yet the damage to people's freedom from the loss of general purpose computing is still substantial even when the lockdowns can be evaded.

If anti-cheat came at no meaningful cost the fact that it could be evaded wouldn't be a meaningful argument against it. But it's expensive to develop, intrusive, disruptive, and the more successful it is the more effective it'll be at being abused to deny people control of their computers in anti-social ways.
