I found this interesting:

> Another option is to put it to beneficial use to create heat or even electricity. The Puente Hills landfill I showed earlier has a gas-to-energy facility that’s been running since 1987, and even though the landfill is now closed, it currently provides enough electricity to power around 70,000 homes.

And towards the end

> Landfills seem like an environmental blight, but really, properly designed ones play a huge role in making sure waste products don’t end up in our soil or air or water. It’s not possible to landfill waste everywhere... But my point is: landfills are a surprisingly low-impact way to manage solid waste in a lot of cases. I hope the future is a utopia where all the stuff we make maintains its beneficial value forever, but for now, I am thankful for the sanitary engineers and the other professions involved in safely and economically dealing with our trash so we don’t have to.

I love reading about landfills. I wish more environmentalists would be excited about engineering solving environmental ills and relied less on knee-jerk reactions.
I recently interviewed for a senior level role for a complex domain (payments), this is an area I have more than a decade of experience. The interviews went flawlessly because I know payments inside out, not just in US but in UK and most EU jurisdictions. The funny bit is that the role being senior, influencing, soft communication skills and managing conflict are even more important than the subject matter expertise and I nailed those areas as well (they threw an obnoxious senior manager that kept interrupting me as I calmly answered the questions, the follow up was that my performance was a masterclass in handling conflict). The final round was with a business person who fancied himself the defacto subject matter expert and kept throwing trivia questions about payments. His plan was to go through as much trivia as he could until he could find something to justify a no. His last question (he literally stopped as soon as he got his way after this question), the question was, have you got personal experience working on real-time payments? I do, in more than one countries (US introduced this very recently as part of fednow), he pushed me about the fednow and obviously this is so new that I only have read the specifications and evaluated a few vendors to decide whether to build or buy. He used this as justification to make a negative reommendation, claiming I don't have real-time payments experience.

Honestly, I don't want to work in an environment like that, it was a large US bank and where their biggest problems are not product innovation or focusing on customer but production failures! An area I have rescued several large companies in, apart from payments expertise and made sure I communicated this. But sometimes you get lucky and don't have to find out the hard way that this place is not pleasant.

IPMI has its place, but it clearly shows how none of us can trust commercial entities to properly support hardware long term. The OS that runs on IPMI is usually relatively secure when the system is new, but as soon as there's a new CPU socket, the manufacturer starts caring less and less about keeping the older systems up to date, even if the same IPMI hardware is on both old and new boards.

If we could load our own OS on to the IPMI hardware, it's be worlds more useful, because we could safely connect it straight to the Internet. As it is, we need sideband communications (VPN, port forward over ssh, separate network segment, whatever), which makes it so that we end up with lots of extra hardware and configurations just to support IPMI. For large installations, the extra cost is better aggregated, but for small installations, it's a rather large burden. Heck - for colocating a single machine, it's not even worth it.

Since it's not possible to run IPMI directly on the Internet securely, I've ended up pairing machines with Pis of some sort. Doing this makes it just as easy - heck, easier - to use a serial port. That means we're back to the standard serial port control we've had since the days of VAXen and Sun and Alpha systems, which, the more I think about it, made much more sense than a network interface that's insecure.

You're getting downvoted, but it's an interesting idea. Violating the GDPR is illegal.

You can break your home country's laws when you go abroad and it's usually OK. You can smoke cannabis when you visit the Netherlands* from Ireland, for instance, and go back home to Ireland without worry.

Violating GDPR is illegal. It's acceptable to arrest people who do things that are against the law. And if, say, I write a lambda that runs hourly and violates the GDPR from my home in California, and then take a holiday to the Netherlands while the lambda is still running, should I be immune from arrest? The offense is still ongoing in that instance.

If we truly take privacy seriously then this should be treated like a crime. If I had something that scammed people in Europe and then holidayed in Europe I'd expect to risk arrest. Or is that somehow less important than violating people's privacy?

* (It's actually technically still illegal but that's a different story). Gedoofd is weird.

Shift | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Hybrid or Remote | Full-time or Contract

WANTED: Fullstack developer that wants to save the world

At Shift, we want to make it easy for anyone to combat climate change. We are a non-profit startup.

We developed a (physical, irl) 3 month program where people reduced the CO2 emissions from their lifestyle by 25% on average, and found joy in it. Now we want to see if we can get the same results via a web app. Want to build it with us?

Ideal candidate: You have 8+ years experience. Preferred stack doesn't matter. You can show a portfolio of (personal) little projects. You have a strong moral sense. Interested in AI-assisted coding. Able to come to Amsterdam occasionally.

Please mail your github or portfolio to welcomeonboard@shift.world
Even if they capture video, who would actually watch it? I'm certainly interested in the preventative or reactive security steps to address this sort of thing. But I just don't see myself caring about somebody seeing me do something that basically everyone does.
> I certainly don't believe I can beat the market

I was with you until this step. That markets are not close to efficient (in the sense of EMH) seems right to me. BUT it does not follow that because of that anyone should be able to beat the market.

There is a huge gap between EMH being far from reality (or simply not close) - and that gap being exploitable. (Or more generally, non-EMH doesn't say much as to whether or how things should be exploitable.)

For one thing we humans are humans, report to humans, get our news from humans, share this market with humans, etc, and the ones of us who pay attention know how hard it is to account for that.

So to conceptualize the difference between fields with and without restoring forces, I imagine that, for a field that doesn't have a restoring force, the medium itself can move permanently. For example if you have just a bunch of ball bearings lying on the surface of a table, you can cause a wave to go through the balls by hitting one. One bumps into the next, which bumps into the next, etc. There's no restoring force, so the wave is moving through the balls, and the balls are actually moving into a new position and they stay there.

Compare that to a water wave, where gravity is trying to restore the particles to a "flat" position in space. If you cause a wave in water, the medium will return to the space it occupied before through the restoring force, even as the wave travels through it.

Is this really how it works, so that e.g. the EM field itself can move in space, whereas e.g. the electron field cannot move in space, it's "pinned" in some sense by the Higgs field?

As a lay person, I found that a clear and understandable explanation, which in my experience suggests it is a wild wild over simplification - but enjoyable nonetheless

A question for the more expert amongst you. Is the Higgs field unique in its interaction with other fields, or are there other similar fields which similarly change the way that other fields (and associated particles) behave?
About Official Console Ports
the Modern principle prescribe that one should never use software that's older than yourself. Some cults even prescribe that that one should not use a framework longer than you would wear a pair of socks.
How does this idea mesh with the other model given to laymen that the Higgs field causes charged particles to flip helicity extremely rapidly?
That’s Linux only. Wouldn’t even work on macOS, which would likely be a significant number of your users.
Also, you want your scam to not be too sophisticated as that would make your live harder. A less sophisticated scam will auto-filter those with critical thinking skills upfront, so you don't even have to try to convince them. Which gives you more time to focus on those you can convince.
In most of the variants of exec*() there are separate arguments for the thing to be executed and the *argv[] list. Argv[0] being the executable is just a convention. In perl $ARGV[0] is the first positional parameter. In

$ARGV[0] is "a".
From the actual article:

>[Clearview Chief Legal Officer] Mulcaire said in his statement that Clearview doesn't fall under EU data protection regulations.

>"Clearview AI does not have a place of business in the Netherlands or the EU, it does not have any customers in the Netherlands or the EU, and does not undertake any activities that would otherwise mean it is subject to the GDPR," he said.

-------------

>The Dutch agency said that building the database and insufficiently informing people whose images appear in the database amounted to serious breaches of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR.

> "Facial recognition is a highly intrusive technology, that you cannot simply unleash on anyone in the world," DPA chairman Aleid Wolfsen said in a statement.

> "If there is a photo of you on the Internet — and doesn't that apply to all of us? — then you can end up in the database of Clearview and be tracked. This is not a doom scenario from a scary film. Nor is it something that could only be done in China," he said.

-----------------

If you're pulling data from European Citizens from all over the internet, I'd imagine that the EU does get a say (since it's literally data processing of EU citizen data). I'd also expect that the EU could just make one of the other upstream suppliers of Clearview data responsible for enforcement.

Missed that, but still think commentary on the origin of the 5% rule for p values is of interest.
I've tried this and found it doesn't make much difference. The idea was to somehow preserve the document structure while reducing the token count, so you do things like strip all styles, etc. until you have something like a structure of divs, then reduce that. But I found no performance gain in terms of output. It seems whatever structure of the document is left over after doing the reduction has little semantic meaning that can't be conveyed by spaces or newlines. Even when using something like html2markdown, it doesn't perform much better. So in a sense the LLM is "too good", and all you really need to worry about is reducing the token count.

Assuming you're a decent outlier, does it make sense to you that someone with a hand that could be half the size of yours uses the same sized phone as you?

RE: Cars, I tend to think fair enough when kids are involved (although I think they could still be a lot more compact without actually losing much space inside, Japan seems to manage with much smaller vehicles) but it feels like virtually everyone of my parents generation has bought by far the largest car they ever had now that they're retired.

Yes. Bernanke was a keen student of the Great Depression of the 1930s. He argued that a big part of that problem was the lack of money supply. So he did QE (a term coined by Prof Richard Werner, by the way). The only problem was too much of that money ended up in purchasing assets rather than being invested in productive capacities. Hence the asset price inflation we have today.
