Learn Social Engineering
I am going to participate in online Cyber Security Competition for my placement. Social Engineering is going to maximum weightage. So I want to learn about social engineering to cover following analysis. Request to please tell me some websites and tools to do followings:-

Finding location from IP address.

Finding mobile or email from Facebook or Instagram.

Any community or group which can assist me in this.
I say this often. Code is for people, and the qualities of great code parallel those of great writing: clarity, efficiency, and a sort of profound obviousness and inevitability.

The job of software architects is the role Heidegger ascribes to man when he calls us "shepherds of Being". To understand the world as it is, and find the right abstractions to describe it. To constantly evolve those abstractions toward better ones, clearer ones, to seek out ways to represent things that make solutions seem obvious and inevitable.

A mathematics professor once said to me that as time went by, the definitions in mathematics became more complex while the theorems became simpler. "Why is that?", I asked, and he replied, "It's progress!" This is the sort of progress that the software architect seeks as well: to set up the problem so excellently that the solutions are smooth and the process is enlightening.

Great writing, and great code, are first and foremost about great ideas. About brilliant ideas that change how you view the world for the better.
Yep, that is exactly what I was going for.
> “Just don’t have an iPhone app” isn’t really viable at this point for a lot of businesses. It’s not 2008.

Interestingly, the 2008 Steve Jobs advice "Just make web apps and have people point their iP{hone's browser at your thing" is actually workable advice for an awful lot of iOS apps these days.

(I'm super pissed at Patreon caving to Apple and giving Apple 30% of every payment I send to support artists/creators just because Patreon think they need an iPhone app. )
That’s passed at compile time via template arguments and/or constexpr/consteval. Even still, there can be all sorts of reasons a compiler isn’t able to omit something as deeply integrated as floating point formatting from a generic floating point library. Rust handles this more elegantly with cargo features so that you could explicitly guarantee you’ve disabled floating point altogether in a generically reusable and intentional way (and whatever other features might take up space).

It’s also important to note that the floating point code only contributed ~44kib out of 75kib but they stopped once the library got down to ~23kib and then removed the c++ runtime completely to shave off another ~10kib.

However, it’s also equally important to remember that these shavings are interesting and completely useless:

1. In a typical codebase this would contribute 0% of overall size and not be important at all

2. A codebase where this would be important and you care about it (ie embedded) is not served well by this library eating up at least 10kib even after significant optimization as that 10kib that is intractible is still too large for this space when you’re working with a max ~128-256kib binary size (or even less sometimes).
> I can certainly see why it took awhile to build up the trust that their supply chain can create such a device safely.

We've had the devices for almost 20yrs, just not available over-the-counter.

> the whole host of problems that occur when there's too much or too little insulin in your body

Which healthy bodies regulate. This device does NOT administer insulin, and it's not a tool for insulin administration in any way. This tool is only approved for use for people who do NOT have insulin prescriptions. This is a tool for healthy people to monitor their levels.
It’s always baffled me that the default configuration of conda takes the liberty of contaminating the default shell environment. It feels incredibly bold to assume that because I install conda I want it to exist in every context in which I use my computer. It’s the terminal equivalent to an adware “toolbar” installing itself in your browser.
It’s all fun and games until you have to dodge the fent zombies walking to the office.
Ha! But the problem isn't physical incompatibility. It's that micro-HDMI is flimsy garbage that will be loose and unusable by the end of its fifth use. Yep, fifth. That's my estimate (from experience) and I think it would hold up empirically.
My understanding is that an “unskilled” job has always meant a job that doesn’t require previous experience. It has nothing to do with how hard the job is or how valuable the work is, just whether or not it requires prior training or not.
I'm really mixing two things and wasn't very clear about it.

The pico can kinda deep sleep but it requires an external wakeup trigger. It can't deep sleep from its own clock. Even so its deep sleep is pretty high power compared to most embedded chips.

The zero (w) and zero 2 w don't have the equivalent of suspend-to-ram with a low sleep current. I'm not sure if that's a limitation of the SOC or the driver or both, but rpi was fairly clear it wasn't in the cards: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1281
Right. *let whatever emerges from the chaos develop on its own" is an opportunity that strongmen have exploited over and over again.
I've driven in many states, and IMO the state doesn't matter (north/south etc), but the metro size. The bigger the city -- the worse people drive. E.g. Chicago is pretty bad, being north.

It is a special clubhouse for engineers with a positive bias towards academicians. But hey people networking is the true human currency, and if you want international exposition and collaboration it's probably hands down the best clubhouse for engineers at the moment.

> Human creativity and the good it offers to society cannot be replicated by a machine. No matter how advanced AI systems become, it is not likely that they will ever be able to think like a person.

The story of computers since their inception has been a series of statements of this form being proven wrong.

Up until not very long ago telling a random person you worked in AI reliably produced a very skeptic response or a look of disbelief. (In my experience.)

We are naturally human centric in our thinking. But the rest of this century is going to require we face & work with reality, not against it.

Making every advance in AI as usable for as many people as possible, and in service of their own initiatives, instead of replacing and channeling people is important.

There is no reason “post-human” needs to mean the end of humans, as apposed to the future of humans.

Unless we keep settling for tech that dehumanizes us. In which case, we bifurcate and the human race suffers from a very “hard landing”.

Ethics, positive sums, transparency, on ramps, that all means more now than it ever has.
I switched to Rust full time about 6 months ago and recently had to write a somewhat long Python script for something else... it felt awfully quiet without the compiler yelling at me, but that also meant I was making the same silly mistakes over and over and over and over

That's not really accurate. HbA1c is essentially an integrator of blood glucose over time. But it doesn't tell you anything about instantaneous blood glucose which is what CGM users typically want to know. The non-diabetic CGM users are generally trying to fine tune their diets by measuring their response to different foods or feeding times (they're seldom fasting for extended periods). And there is a significant genetic variance in the hemoglobin turnover period which skews HbA1c results for some patients.

Both assays have value but they're really for different purposes

That’s one reason. The other one is that when you have a small amount of total milk, you have to make sure there’s enough for everyone. By pouring milk first you can more easily measure how much milk you pour per cup.

I'd encourage you to read the article. This is something that has been studied in depth. It's true there was an increase in visible homelessness in cities across the west coast (although, at least in SF, this has since declined) but drug overdoses have been much, much worse in Portland than in other west coast cities.
> One advantage of having 50 states with various laws is that we don’t need to just speculate about this stuff.

That's actually a disadvantage, and explains why the US will never be able to address the homelessness problem.

If you have one jurisdiction where the approach is to aggressively kick out the homeless and another where they try their best at solving the problem, the would-be solver location will inevitably fail because all the homeless will migrate there. No single city or state can solve homelessness for the entire country.

You need every jurisdiction to cooperate at solving it simultenously, but the prisioners dilemma of 50 states encourages individual states to push the problem onto others, solving nothing and guaranteeing nobody else can solve either it.
Sure, those are important too. Now that you have some application written that solves a valuable problem then how do you assess quality/value objectively? The keyword is objectivity. You have to measure something and compare those measures against something else.

This is why non-developers believe developers are generally hyper-autistic. For most developers everything must be about clear, easy, simple, safe. These are all super subjective self-serving opinions that don't do anything for the product or the labor that builds that product. Product owners will scream about this, developers will pretend to hear it, will immediately discard it, and then repeat the same insanity where they find comfort.

Step back, take a deep breath, understand that it's not about you or what you want, and finally discard the self-serving circular insanity and only focus on measuring your time to complete a task, time for the application to do things, and frequency of user engagement.

I have not yet met an AI system that can get close to what an audiobook narrator does. I assume that more audiobooks will get lower-quality narration, but narration of audiobooks is often done either (1) by the author or (2) by someone who is very good at doing a dramatic reading. The former won't be replaced because the author's own reading of their work provides emphasis and nuance that shows their intentions, and the latter is still far beyond the capabilities of current text-to-speech.

AI is very good at giving you an average-quality output. Art, by its very nature, is almost always a superlative expression of something.
Why would it be wise to skip fab investments at this point? It could easily become a major value center.

Otherwise you're pretty much imitating ARM, and poorly.
Something that drives me up the wall is just how sloppy math notation can be. Supposedly this pure discipline, but many authors use custom conventions all over the place, shorthand, skip steps, etc.

Give me some math code, where the end result has to compile. No sneaky tricks allowed.
Was your only input to ask some guy? When I play with SDXL, I can spend an hour or more on a single image, between prompting and inpainting, and playing with dozens of variables. Each final work is a collage made by generating each detail of the image separately many times. And then I would usually process that final image in some other software to get the final result I want.

Photography and cinema are art forms, even if your phone has a camera. So is painting, even if a baby can fingerpaint. You can ask ChatGPT to give you an image of a cat, but you can also use AI as a tool to express yourself in personal and unique ways.

I honestly don't want to be rude or attack anyone's opinions, but I really think one can only believe generative images can't have artistic value due to ignorance.
Give an artist unlimited freedom and they will often produce drivel and sometimes produce masterpieces, even if with a few constraints they could have produced interesting work

Give a corporation unlimited freedom and they will inevitably create dystopia, even if with a few constraints they could be a great boon to society

Milk makes tea far less astringent.

It also binds with some other compounds making them less active too, but the astringency is an easy point to understand.

I think it is more accurate to say that AI is threatening a lot of the ways artists use their skills to create economic value. Making corporate logos, creating visuals for products, etc.

Art won’t go away, just a lot of the ways artists support themselves.

Ah, Economics theory. Where you know the thing lying on the sidewalk can't be a dropped $20 bill, so you don't even think about picking it up. And Pinkerton's goons have never done anything bad to workers demanding higher wages, and the Tulsa massacre couldn't possibly have happened, and the AMA can't be limiting the supply of MD's, and ...
imo the real economic danger is the regulatory response that institutes bureaucratic functions to create fake "jobs" in the form of mandatory human roles in companies that have nothing to do with the product or mission, stifling the whole economy with bureaucracy.

the thing about automation is that it's a proxy for regulation and governance, and the "freeside" economy will still use a lot of manual work becuase nobody will want the administrative overhead of dealing with AI.
As a knowledge worker who went from math academia to software engineering to management, it turns out the fundamentals of each job haven’t actually mattered that much for the next job.

I wonder if its partly an issue when there is a combination of :

- decriminalization of drug use

- free access to treatment centers

- lax laws regarding unauthorized camping

that would a large number of dedicated drug users to migrate from out of state to Oregon (or whichever state tries it) from across the entirety of the US.

This would easily swamp any treatment facility capacity plan.
The second any state or city or whatever non federal entity pours the enormous resources necessary to rehabilitate opioid or meth addicts (if even possible with sufficiently high probability of success), other locales will send their addicts to there and reap the rewards of lower taxes.

Putting aside the cynical jab, as a general principle, there is nothing wrong with putting prisoners to work. There is a difference between chattel slavery and indentured servitude. The latter is a perfectly legitimate punishment to pay off the debt to society that justice demands. Why you or others think this is wrong, I don't understand. That's what justice is: paying a debt. When working, at least you aren't just rotting in prison, but contributing to some social good, perhaps even learning a skill. That is one problem with our prisons, the rotting. We throw people into what is a savage factory and forget about them, letting them rot in a nexus of gangs and thugs. Because punishment has three ends, viz., retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence, work meets all three criteria to one degree or another.

I personally highly doubt that any company worth $100 million or more will have an AI-generated logo in the next 30 years.

Product visual mockups also aren't art. The product design itself is art, but I sort of suspect that a human designer will be the one driving the AI to make the visual.
It's called civilization because society agreed to live by a set of rules for the benefit of all.

So, yes, it has the right to tell people if they can't do drugs, if they vote on it.

If those people don't like it, they can go live in a different civilization, or in an uncivilized place.

I bet you could do this by the following and I would hazard a guess that they do something like the following.
1. Buy a real CPU
2. Measure where the layout of pins are, the different parts visible to the naked eye, and then rip the top off to draw up a CAD file.
3. Use a cheap desktop mill to mass produce a bunch of the top metal pieces, buy any small resistor part you might need.
4. Get a PCB design that mimicks the CPU layout with contacts on bottom that look realistic enough.
5 assemble your fake metal piece, any visable nockoff component, to the cheap PCB.
6. Do a fraud where a good CPU is purchased from a company not likely to disassemble the CPU and might write it off as a DOA chip or a damaged in shipping. Return the fake CPU in the box/system, and you just got a free CPU you could resell on the black market or sell to sanctioned parties.

This is stupid because of the effort needed to make a fake chip and your betting your life in jail no one does a decent inspection. Hell you need to laser etch the CPU to match whatever legit thing your stealing, so many ways to get caught.

Distributed energy resources eliminate a large portion of the transmission cost, leaving only the distribution grid in an idealized/future-state scenario (as I assume you’re talking about). In the summer, you lower the solar output so as not to overload the s distribution grid.

Also, batteries come in several long-term flavors. Thermal sand batteries are able to provide many months of energy storage today. A mid-term future will surely include even longer term storage as we develop improved storage technology. LiPo batteries are a bridge storage solution.
