Major channels typically would be using a YouTube brand account, not a single normal Google account. (This is so that they can e.g. delegate parts of the channel management to multiple people without sharing a single login). The email address for a brand account is totally worthless.
Besides niche scientific applications, this is mostly about extremely large constellations.

The classic LEO, roughly 500km-1000km, is already quite full, and placing a lot of new satellites there increases the risk of triggering a chain reaction of collisions with orbital debris (Kessler syndrome). At these altitudes the atmosphere is thin enough that even small pieces of debris are long-lived, thus potentially creating a long-term problem for all kinds of human and non-human spaceflight.

In the VLEO band, on the other hand, the thicker atmosphere makes maintaining orbit more difficult, but also makes debris very short-lived. Due to this, it may be reasonable to risk placing a million-satellite communications network somewhere between 200-300km, which would be utterly impossible further up. Data rates, latency, mesh size, etc. also improve of course.

indeed, exactly this. It's discouraging to see people that read hackernews, act in this way, and not look at the facts, and actual data, but rather use up all their energy on just reacting violently against Elon.
Did you actually read past the first sentence? That question is irrelevant.
If the reason of the accident was responsibility of the user and then blamed the company, then I think is fair.

Especially like people in the US where people use the auto-drive function completely unattended, just to blame the company later.

Bloodlands is more of a history of what happens after unrestrained autocrats implement blood hungry murderous societies. The linked article is an excerpt from the same author's book on his thoughts of what to do to prevent authoritarians taking control and destroying all opposition, and I have not read it except this excerpt.

IMHO it's far easier to report on the history than to get counter factual reasoning correct enough to propose preventative measures. That said it's good to have a plan, but the plan must adapt to reality and our view of reality is never perfect.
> Threat actors buy vulnerabilities that fit into existing business processes

Isn't there a market for this? For example, "Reveal who is behind this account that's criticizing our sketchy company/government, so we can neutralize them".

I'll also argue there's separate incentives, than the market value to threat actors... Although a violent stalker of an online personality might not be a lucrative market for a zero-day exploit for this "threat actor" market, the vulnerability is still a liability (and ethical) risk for the company that could negligently disclose the identity of target to violent stalker.

IMHO, if you're paying well a gazillion Leetcode performance artists, to churn out massive amounts of code with imperfect attention to security, then you should also pay well the people who help you catch and fix their gazillion mistakes, before bad things happens.
There are versions of the cables (and adapters) that work on older PSUs, although new PSUs are starting to come with the same connector that new GPUs have.

Anyway there are pros and cons to using 12V, or lower or higher, and anything except 12V would require a new PSU so it's a hard sell. But even without that detail, I have a feeling 12V is a reasonable choice anyway, not too low or high for conversion either in the PSU or in the GPU or other component.

In any case, at the end of the day sending 12V from the PSU to GPU is easy. The connector used here is bad, either by design or manufacturing quality, but surely the solution can be a better housing and/or sockets on the cable side connectors instead of a different voltage.
so actual facts don't matter? Just what people think and feel? oh boy....

If it generated full swift code that i could inspect for correctness and tweak if needed, I would have jumped on using it right away.

It's part of what separates "founder" from "executive" in my mind. Most good execs I know understand market fundamentals due to either eduction or solid experience, it's what is taught in HBS, Columbia, etc. Most founders know it from gut, they can just see change and they run at it, but it's part of the shift from founder to executive, you have to operationalize it for a business to be sustainable. Because you are competing against luck (Clay Christensen), you are inevitability foundational relying on solid vision, but because business is extremely complicated and hard to nail most businesses bleed out to find death by a 1000 paper cuts. Friend of mine has a linkedin profile you might find interesting: https://www.linkedin.com/in/agnazem/details/experience/

I'll also add, there are a lot of managers out there fancying themself in leadership, and lots of leaders who fancy themselves managers, this thinking that there is an ability to co-mingle, is generally incorrect.

I actually completely agree with you that people should have good and interesting jobs. I could use a lot of words, but... I just completely agree on that part.

Now how this ends up in an immigration debate has me slightly mystified, I do have to admit.

I'm treating the "if immigration creates [...] low quality [...] jobs" as one of a set of hypotheticals. Some others being that immigration creates high quality jobs, or indifferent jobs.

So it seems we're in at least partial agreement (hopefully).

Where would you like to take your argument from here?

I would expect more of this behavior moving forward, or just an outright disregard for the law by automakers.

We knew that when Tesla was ready to get serious about autonomy they would be doing something similar to Waymo. Waymo's general strategy is not particularly novel, it's similar to what Zoox and Cruise and a bunch of Chinese companies are/were doing. The general strategy was arrived at after a great deal of trial and error and hard earned lessons that Elon opted to ignore in favour of magic.

Elon committed Tesla to it's reliance on magic, and in a way it worked, because chumps paid handsomely for the privilege of living vicariously through Elon's narcissistic delusions. With the release of HW2 and HW3 I tried to warn them with long, well sourced, technically sound arguments in the Tesla forums, and as you can imagine, all they were able to hear was blasphemy.
Was the old design actively balanced? I think the current of each pin was only monitored.
I wish there was a reader app that was serious about text speech. This is not it, unfortunately. Reader apps need to focus on a text to speech experience that is identical to a music player so that you can use the app while in hands free situations. The app is also hard to use as a “read it later” tool on iOS.

I was really hoping they would fix these issues by now because it was promising. This app truly does feel like a portfolio demo app for a text to speech engine company rather than an actual reader app.

UPDATE: yes, I have actually used the app, no it does not work well. See replies for details.

You missed their point about the business model of the security researchers here: their business model is finding a large number of small value vulnerabilities. Those who are good at this are very very good at this.

My company has a bug bounty program and some of the researchers participating in it make double or more my salary off of our program, but we never pay out more than this for a single report. And it's not like we're particularly vulnerable, we just get a steady stream of very small issues and we pay accordingly.

The riots were to a large extent set off by bullshit from Twitter/Musk - they put out that three girls had been murdered by an asylum seeker so a bunch of people went to riot at the asylum centers but it turned out to be basically false as the murder was UK born.

I think we might just disagree what an immigration system looks like where immigrants compliment vs compete with the domestic workforce. I support immigration when it adds to an economic system, but not when it furthers contention or diminishes the economics of citizens.
The Innovator’s Dilemma supports your last paragraph but will likely make your first two paragraphs age poorly.

The tech will continue to improve if it finds its niche. Dynamic, low power, color informational signage displays are a big enough market by themselves to adopt and support enough product cycles to address shortcomings that advertisers have.

The potential for no mains power (e.g., small solar panel or a vibration energy harvesting power source) means virtually any flat wall could be turned into advertising inventory. Do accident lawyers need their ads to pop or just be displayed over and over again?

Another aspect of local-first I'm exploring is trying to combine it with the ability to make the backend sync server available for local self-hosting as well.

In our case we're building a local-first multiplayer "IDE for tasks and notes" [1] where the syncing or "cloud" component adds features like real-time collaboration, permission controls and so on.

Local-first ensures the principles mentioned in the article like guaranteed access to your data and no spinners. But that's just the _data_ part. To really add longevity to software, I think it would be cool if it would also be possible to guarantee the _service_ part also remains available. In our set up we'll allow users to "eject" at any time by saving a .zip of all their data and simply downloading a single executable (like "server.exe" or "server.bin"). The idea is you can then easily switch to the self-hosting backend hosted on your computer or a server if you want (or reverse the process and go back to the cloud version).

> The rust for linux project exists because Linus approved it. It's that simple. Linus thinks it a good idea to at least try Rust in the kernel.

Pepople can change their minds; after a while, they may come to think that what they once thought was a good idea wasn't actually so.

With stuff like this going on -- and I gather this is not the first time something like it has happened -- how long do you think Linus will continue to think so? Do you think stuff like this is likely to make Linus more convinced, or less convinced, that setting himself (and all the other Linux kernel maintainers) up to have to interact with Rust people on an ongoing basis really was a good idea?

My understanding is that this is about using AI responsibly and not about AGI at all. Not worrying about H-bomb but more like worrying about handling radioactive materials in the industry or healthcare to prevent exposure or maybe radium girls happening again.

IMHO, from European perspective, they are worried that someone will install a machine that has bias against let's say Catalan people and they will be disadvantaged against Spaniards and those who operate the machine will claim no fault the computer did it, leading to social unrest. They want to have a regulations saying that you are responsible of this machine and have grounds for its removal if creates issues. All the regulations around AI in EU are in that spirit, they don't actually ban anything.

I don't think AGI is considered seriously by anybody at the moment. That's completely different ball game and if it happens none of the current structures will matter.
There’s no “probably” about it. There are hundreds of thousands of doses of tuberculosis treatments that aren’t being delivered and will expire.

Monty python use to do it all the time, as did a number of other comedies. but the important distinction is that comedians aren't in power.

Airlines are subject to enshittification just as all other things are:
• Diminished airline status returns
• Increasingly large/overpriced shops/restaurants
• More discrete seat/class upgrade costs, worse experience for base fare overall.
• Higher security friction
• Explosion of travel cards that overload lounges
• Increased nationwide traffic so even the drive to the airport is worse
• Costs of food purchases on plane (in the 90's any transcontinental flight usually had a free meal).

The only things that have gotten better are wifi and entertainment to act as recompense for less leg room.
Not as impressive from seated operator position.

Say you’re a blackhat OSINTer trying to steal crypto. You have a first initial and a last name for a target (“J. Smith”) - plus you know this person is on github and discord.

You take out your handy email list and run a regex to find candidate accounts that match “J Smith”. You pipe matches into a recon script to check if github and discord accounts exist for each email. Suddenly, you’ve got a small pool of matches. You try more account-existence recon to find all the sites they’re signed up on. You look up all breached creds tied to the target emails, then run cred stuffing against any sensitive services they’ve signed up for.

Boom, you’ve gone from first initial + last name to compromising an account in thirty minutes.
