Those happy days when we distributed the equivalent of password files in the DNS via the IN HS (HESIOD) type. (Kerberos)

And then Sun went feral on Yellow pages/NIS and we all stopped loving each other anyway and now.. it's a lot more fragmented.

There are many deprecated RRtypes. "lets put it in the DNS" is a bit of a meme.

(use of past tense invites somebody to point out you can still run the code if you walk back in e.g. NetBSD sources but you might find widespread support for these RRtypes missing from a lot of things)
I'm no lawyer, but the claim is that the request made by the Brazilian judge doesn't comply with Brazil's own laws. Presumably if X (not Elon) has complied with other censorship requests they found the requests to be lawful.
The irony here is that long term employment can also lead to disengagement and apathy. So really, the latter has nothing to do with being employed or not.
The interesting thought experiment is what will likely happen one way or another depending on the policy they choose/enforce (if possible).

1. They don't ban AI posts => probably a lot of low-effort (often correct) postings; reputation farming because why not; people trusting SO less; may as well skip the middle-man and simply ask ChatGPT directly

2. ban AI posts => how do they enforce this; conflict/complaints/annoyance when mis-flagged; reduction in answer submissions; plenty of generated (mostly correct) answers getting through; reputation farming; quality could still decline until people stop using SO (but maybe not as soon as 1).

3. put more effort into allowing correct answers (regardless of how written), penalize incorrect answers which appear generated => maintain higher quality bar; can sustain for a while until ChatGPT et al is simply just better to ask directly (but not as soon as 1 or 2).

I used up my free credits using GPT-4o the other day asking random stuff that I might have googled or Wikipedia searched before--it was more efficient and engaging. I could come around to paying $20/mo as I'd get way more value than I get from Netflix and a few other services.

A lot of sites are going to have trouble competing with AI so they may as well have the best AI for their domains to stay relevant. Humans will still be providing original content but most of it may be indirectly consumed by others. A lot of content wasn't accurate anyway so there will simply be more pushing an agenda or just selling stuff. Hopefully we will value quality and our preferred truths and there will be some competition to deliver that.
>>The solution is either correct or incorrect.

Not even humans write 100% correct solutions. Everyday programming is not a theorem proving exercise. Programs are correct enough, to cover a agreeable amount of test cases.

>>Anytime I ask it to generate a series of classes

Generating a class is too big and broad of question to ask an LLM to generate. My chunks of inputs and outputs to/from an LLM are often on the lines of a single for loop, if block or a small chunk of code that can't be written in more than one way. There are several steps from here to a complete class.

LLM is your classic socratic thinking tool. You really to have to learn to ask and work in chunks of questions that are smallest, and involve only one change from the previous question, and are atomic enough to do a easy roll back. And you need to build from here.

As experience with the series of books The Little Schemer shows, this unfortunately is not everyone's cup of tea. A lot of people struggle to keep a train of thought in their minds and work in that workflow.

To that extent I see LLM are not for everyone. Just like how Google search was great and helped a lot of people, but the majority just couldn't bring themselves to sit in front of a screen and work for hours stitching solutions from various places on internet into a working solution.
Just like Microsoft told congress that Internet Explorer couldn’t be uninstalled from Windows 98, even though it didn’t come preinstalled with Windows 95.

Pre-sentience = wild wild west
post- sentience = every sci-fi movie/book you've ever seen/read..
In the meantime every possible scenario being drummed up is mere fear-mongering because the post event will radically change the dynamics of the pre event. We simply have ZERO precedence in human history to guide our speculations. And the power...the intent...the results...cannot by the best of means begin to paint a picture with any degree of accuracy. Sit back and enjoy the ride is all I can say.
Oh...and make nice with our new masters while in pre event somehow if you can. Cross your fingers it will have any impact in post.

Brazil could attempt to ban the accounts somehow, they don't have jurisdiction to force Twitter to ban them. The whole play here is a game of chicken - "ban these accounts or we cut you off from the Brazilian user base"
HP to Pursue $4B Damages After Mike Lynch Yacht Death
I'm not sure what you're referring to specifically.

If you're asking why we need zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) in a human passport system:
Imagine you have 6 billion to give away, and all lives worldwide should get their fair share. How could you do this? Giving money to authorities like governments and trusting them?
In the context of 'alllivesmatter.world', I propose the DUKI system. Here's how it works:

- Each person has a human passport (they should never have more than one)

- They can directly claim this money on the blockchain using the DUKI system

- This ensures that each unique person gets their share only once at each period

To achieve this and prevent multiple claims per person without considering privacy, we could use national security IDs, but these IDs need to be genuine, assuming that every human gets and only gets one.
However, using these IDs directly would compromise privacy. So instead, we let authorities prove that using ZKP:

- A valid national ID was used in creating the passport

- Each national ID is used only once in the system

This way, we preserve privacy while still ensuring the integrity of the distribution process.
Other service that focus on real people could also utilize on this. It just like currently wallet as an entry to web3 world, with only one key difference: that wallet represents a unique human in the world.
Of course not. Even though everyone tells me that all Microsoft software on top of the core operating system is actually installed using the same app installation framework that all third parties use, which definitely permits uninstalling.

I think verbal abuse is terrible and should be prevented by the state, just not under the umbrella of limiting free speech.

For me verbal abuse is in the same sort of category as rigging up a bomb to detonate when I've tweeted a keyword. The crime isn't really about the ideas being expressed (which I believe should be protected), the crimes just happen to involve speech.

Where abusive speech gets tricky for me is when people feel that ideas being publicly expressed are harming them (ex: a twitter discussion perpetuating hateful stereotyoes of people like me). In my current position that sort of speech is some of the most important to protect because I don't like it.
The order is randomized. Hit reset and you'll get a different sequence. The sequence is also adaptive (not a binary search---it's hitting specific points of the tail of a sigmoid in a logistic regression it's building as you go along). Try it a few times and you'll see how reproducible it is for you.

It of course depends on the calibration of your monitor. One of the reasons I did this project is I wanted to see if there were systematic differences in color names and balance in the wild, for example, by device type (desktop vs. Android vs. iPhone), time of day (night mode), country (Sapir-Whorf), etc.
If you knew how to detect AI posts, why would you tell people?
The claim is that the ban request doesn't actually comply with Brazilian law. I'm no lawyer and don't know how accurate that is, but if correct that Twitter would be complying with local laws by refusing the unlawful order.
Time to roll over and let stackoverflow die, I suppose

I think it probably looks sensible to lawyers, boards and shareholders but as the article says: The decision to move forward puts HPE on a reputational tightrope. While a UK civil claim automatically ensures that the case passes to the estate of a defendant in the event of a death, the prospect of pursuing the money is likely to be deeply unpopular after the tragedy.

It's a lot of money to forgo on the basis "the great unwashed who don't own shares directly won't like it" -Their superannuation and investment funds very probably would want this money recovered, if there was a good chance of winning the case.
I'd love a last step in the test where you're presented with the gradient, but before showing the distribution and the user's score. Allow the user to select where they consider their threshold, then display the final results.

Since the first color was right between blue and green, I refused to choose one or the other. I'm not gonna play that game.
The USA is a Kleptocracy since US congress members sell-out for lobbyists and money-in-politics. $3.5 billion per year flow through lobbyists, and that is all it takes to corrupt our congress.
> Thus we've wound up in this system where, like many things in the US, everyone loses except the people who got there first

Someone has been paying close attention... Now for the next question, how does one "get there" first? Answer that, and you too can become rich.
I'm red-green colorblind but I surprisingly got a perfectly median result. I'm usually horrible at determining what is green but I think the blue/green distinction is less prone to issues with red-green colorblind people.
Twitter isn't a government and doesn't make political decisions.

The more pressing issue is governments censoring opposition
I'm deuteroanomalous, and I got 165 - greener than 94%. Turquoise is blue (well yeah, it always has been!). People often tell me things are green that clearly are not, so I'm wondering what this means. Does the "165, which is greener..." thing mean that I only say it's green when other people would say "very green"?
"For you Turquoise is green" isn't an interesting result. There is a line at which a color isn't one of two options, it is another well-defined color.

It is a neat site, but I guess I don't understand the point of this is.

Another version with vehicles could say "To you a Van is a Truck", and you would get some results on how many people classify a Van as a Car or a Truck... but the question is flawed to begin with, and thus so are the "results".
The US Gov used to put people in prison for these things. Now it is a financial law suit slap on the wrist.
Quarto! The lead dev of quarto dog fooded it to write his own book on data science in R.
Yes, you can absolutely get better at discriminating different colors, orientations, etc. though unfortunately improvements tend to be highly specific to the stimulus. There's a great book by Barbara Dosher called Perceptual Learning that extensively overviews the literature.
Nope. On RGB, they are equal parts blue/green.

Since most people are viewing this on a monitor, the question is pointless.
I went looking for this because I knew I had just come across something like it.

Give it time. I suspect step 1 is "don't worry, it's on your device." Step 2 will be "now it's in the cloud so you don't have to lose your Recall if you lose your computer."

Yeah, Win10 will be my last Windows once the curtain starts to fall. Win11 has only got more invasive since release.

> Yet Rice and one other CMS staffer said they did recall reminding the executives that even without the chart review rule, the company was obligated to make a good-faith effort to bill only for verified codes — or face possible penalties under the False Claims Act. And CMS officials reinforced that view in follow-up emails, according to court filings.

Sounds like the "what" is already properly illegal without needing to dictate the "how".

They've got their own version of Windows and licensing. They're not running Windows 10 Home lol. They've got their own LTSC type thing. DoD works directly with Microsoft. None of this applies to them.
I went there for undergrad and trust me it’s the hunger games. I remember for one class, DSP we would have labs before they would actually teach the material and as a student you were how the Fck can I achieve whatever the lab is asking with the knowledge we learned so far… you couldn’t and it would take a couple of labs to realize that material req was from next class.

Yes. The majority of my larger customers are billed yearly via bank transfer using Stripe. Some smaller customers too.
Huh, they significantly sanitized their website following all the media attention. Now it does say it's all about medical supplies. However, one can't sanitize the entire Internet. Here's a page that mentions that Razom funds drones: https://dobro.ua/member/operator/bf-razom-dlia-ukrayiny/

But in any case, my question stands. Let's say a US citizen donated to a fund that supplied drones to Russia. Said drones do not carry a military payload, but can be used for recon and artillery targeting. What would you think about this person?
Sounds like psychometrics is unsuitable for modeling this problem, according to what you're saying. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
The only way to sign in is via a Google account? Thanks, but I'll pass.
There's a few 'kinds' of red-green colorblind as I understand it. It has to do with whether you're missing a type of cone, or whether the frequency response of a cone type is shifted. I knew someone who had never experienced what others call "green" - all things supposed to be green are brown. I on the other hand see some green things, but a lot of things other people call green are brown, maroon or even purple. Pastels are the worst.
I just read it as a nod toward electronics hacking.
The article is a bit of rage-bait. You can already disable
it via Group Policy and users can turn it off. They're trying to get clicks because they're trying to make it seems like uninstalling it is some meaningful difference. If you don't trust that the settings on your computer work what in gods name are you using windows for.
Running something more self-contained, like a Rust or Go binary, is way easier. But even a C++ binary with a bunch of libraries is already trickier.
I agree. It would be better if people understood the costs and benefits of virtual environments and used costs and benefits to guide decisions about how and when to use them.

The general observation I would add is that these change with the level of experience of the person writing the code. I found it helpful and harmless to avoid them when I was experimenting. Now, I use them automatically.

I know that it made people angry, but I think it was reasonable to say that if someone does not know how to edit a file and is not comfortable using the terminal, they are not ready for virtual environments.

Re separation, another option is the one I recommend in the
"Environment as Code" post: Right now, I'd suggest installing

- Python3.12

- Python3.11

- Python3.10

Then use edits to `.zprofile` to specify which will be used in any terminal session. It does require the use of an editor to make changes to `.zprofile`, which is where the official versions put the lines that add things to the user PATH. I think it is very helpful to get people familiar with how profiles set PATH for any terminal session and how easy it is to control by commenting out or commenting back in lines in `.zprofile`.

Later, one can introduce them to `.zshrc`.

And this is perfectly fine. The thinking that we all need to be CEOs makes no sense. Firstly the grass is always greener - in reality dealing with clients and ensuring your staff get paid is a huge obligation. Secondly, being an employee negates a lot of risk and stress.
The less cynical answer is that the insurers would simply stop offering Medicare advantage plans at all, and the people who run the programs don't want to be responsible for the mess.

Passing the buck is basically in the job description for a lot of government work, especially but not limited to elected positions.
I'm sure there will be GPOs and registry keys to disable it. We're actually not worried about it at all, at least no one I know is. Corporate Windows deployments are not the same as Windows Home. We manage it very differently.

I used to do a lot of web scraping. Cloudflare is an issue, as are a few Cloudflare competitors, but scraping can still be useful. We had contracts with companies we scraped that allowed us to scrape their sites, specifically so that they didn't need to do any integration work to partner with us. The most anyone had to do on the company side was allowlist us with Cloudflare.

Would recommend web scraping as a "growth hack" in that way, we got a lot of partnerships that we wouldn't otherwise have got.
