>The top level of the Soviet diplomatic service arranged his 1987 Moscow visit. With assistance from the KGB. It took place while Kryuchkov was seeking to improve the KGB's operational techniques in one particular and sensitive area. The spy chief wanted KGB staff abroad to recruit more Americans... https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-fir...

Which doesn't prove Trump did bad stuff but does kind of show the KGB were trying.
The only bummer here is that there's no guarantee of matching with a Waymo. You can set your ride preference to "increases chances" of getting a Waymo, but I wish there was an option to always get it if your ride starts and ends in their service area. It's a strange decision from Waymo to agree to this.
Beautiful work, loved reading about your process.

It's not Russia, the US and the Saudis, it's Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, etc. honestly Aramco and Gazprom probably have very little influence on decision making in Europe and the US compared to the local interests.

> The other aligned narrative is nuclear and I consider it to be Trojan horse to continued reliance on fossil fuels at least for the next 25-30 years whilst countries like Germany would argue with NIMBY’s and politics to try and even build just one new power station.

Nuclear is not a Trojan horse, nuclear proliferation and meltdown fears condemned Europe to energy dependence. It's too late now, the capacity should have been built 30 years ago, but the successful fearmongering meant there was virtually no construction for the last 30 years[1].

The real Trojan horse is natural gas, they greenwashed it, invested and continue to invest in natural gas projects[2].

And I have fears enthusiastic technology adopters will blindly accept these tools as god because “the computer says so”. Forcing patients to do the same without the opportunity to give informed consent.

Marginalized groups will receive worse care because they weren’t in the training set.

Lazy doctors will get lazier.

Errors will be deeply buried in a bureaucracy with no available remedy because nobody at the ground level understands the technology.

Scheduling will become less transparent. Escalations will be automatically denied.

When I was working for various local govs there was a usual remark being made. You cannot fire shitty employees. There are great ones, but some are just getting the pay check and make things worse and there is no way to fire them. It is just not practical.

Like any other “voluntary” system, this is also doomed to fail. It’s not like the cigarette companies didn’t target children for a reason.

To put it bluntly, the companies that use the “voluntary” metric that by definition restrict their reach will have less monthly active users and therefore less revenue than those who do not, so therefore nobody will. Already happened in 1998, it will definitely happen again.

There are, or were, talks in Taiwan and China about the possibility of a "one party two systems" style unification similar to Hong Kong. It was pretty fringe but growing in popularity until China cracked down on Hong Kong. I don't know if it's much of a thing anymore, but I do know a couple of old Taiwanese that still believe in it.

> Interesting, but there is a lot of "intent" in writing notes and I am not convinced it could capture the full picture without significant human supervision. [...] At least when I write, I know it's correct.

To my understanding, notes would otherwise largely be written from memory after the visit - which adds a fairly significant opportunity for omissions and errors to sneak in.

It seems plausible to me that by fixing that low-hanging fruit, this tool could potentially reach current human levels of accuracy overall even if it has shortcomings in other areas, like not being as good at non-shallow reasoning. Not to necessarily say it's currently at human-level.

This is primarily architecturally interesting in my opinion. Output songs have unusual noticeable artifacts, and I would guess they become more noticeable the more you listen.

That said, wow. An end to end FAST architecture that can infer a 4.5 minute song in 10 seconds is a compelling thing. I didn’t see if we got open weights, but my guess is that this is not crazy challenging to train, and some v2/v3 versions of this are likely to be good-to-very-good.

There's a huge reason for Taiwan to announce that: their primary opponent already has nuclear weapons!

The reason Israel is heavily encouraged to maintain nuclear strategic ambiguity is an attempt to dissuade the entire Middle East from developing nuclear weapons in response.

Bus deregulation wrecked public transport for much of the smaller places in the UK.

One of the positive things labour has done is allowed local authorities more control over this, which should help - I can also imagine them being very bad at communicating this if it does.

Of course I'd prefer a bunch more investment too, more train lines and go ahead with many of the previously touted tram schemes.

Overall I think the form factor of the 12” MacBook was superior to that of the 11” Air. Similar footprint, but better aspect ratio and much better pixel density.

An M-series 12” would be amazing. Or heck, with how powerful A-series SoCs are these days, even one of those would likely be sufficient and yet far more efficient and powerful than those awful Intel CPUs the original 12” was saddled with.
What a lame future.
Apple pricing strategy is a masterclass lesson.

For the iPhone, there once was a time that $600 was the cost of the highest end phone. Now Apple has created a pricing architecture (and laddering) where $600 today only gets you the entry level iPhone.

Similarly with iPad. They have been able to get consumers now to buy effectively a 2-year old components inside an iPad Air and still command a premium price ... and making it feel "new".

I'm not knocking Apple.

I'm genuinely impressed with their pricing architecture and strategy they have been able to execute on over the years.

I agree the Ukrainian defense industrial base is working miracles given the situation, but my comment was specifically about major assets that not only they but the EU as a whole are not prepared to replace at this time or in the near term. Big-ticket items, not drones, cannon shells or bullets. In some cases there is a similar capability in or perhaps available to Europe but not (yet) the capacity for mass manufacture. In other cases there is nothing else even close. It's just a very very bad situation. I am currently pinning my hopes on Trump getting a lot of pushback from the US defense industry, but this seems like a slim chance as they probably expect they'll be making a lot of money in the next several years regardless of where their products are shipped.
> So a full blown adult is different than legally considered adult.

We have to create a line somewhere and currently that line is the age of majority. Some people mature faster than others, and even you didn’t provide a specific age. How are we supposed to make decisions about what constitutes an adult without a firm cutoff?

I honestly believe this is what they have been doing for years. Nvidia is an expert at making up lies and selling them to their consumers.

I do understand the brand attachment as my first and second cards were both Nvidia. But they never live up to the marketing. Especially soft locking features behind tier paywalls or deprecating features is just painful.

But now honestly I rather feel like going for something else.

Nvidia voice and ai noise features not being available on lower end hardware of same gen which you could unlock with just using an older binary was just hilarious.

And why are these extra features and SDKs not available on Linux it's not like you can't run AI on Linux(lol)...

They honestly just give up easy wins for some reason that baffles me.
I don't think canonicalization is really important in the world of data serialization formats (ex: Protocol Buffers doesn't do it and things seem fine). If you're defining something you're--for example--gonna HMAC, canonicalization is overkill because a data serialization format is overkill. The problem w/ JWT wasn't that JSON didn't have canonicalization (I think this is true?) at the time, the problem is that it used JSON at all. There was no real reason to do this, especially when everyone uses a JWT library anyway: the underlying format could have been anything (and newer token formats have learned this lesson).
If you can't get local population to grow, you have to bring in your labor from somewhere else. And of course, like most wealthy nations, the British birth rate has been in the toilet since the 70s.

This is also a reason that Brexit happened. Arguably the reason, even. There are a lot of working-class people whose families have been in the British Isles for centuries who look at the lack of progress relative to what their ancestors saw during the Empire and postwar eras, and want someone to blame. In this case it was Brussels' migration policies, even though it was providing essential labor that the British economy needs and cannot get from "real British" people because they don't have kids at the necessary rate.
> In the long run, society goes to 100% electric transportation due to global warming. Any analysis that treats this as a simple matter of consumer choice is going to miss the biggest driver of adoption.

As @Ray20 pointed out, this is Western thinking. The only factor that will flip most poorer people is a direct economic incentive. Who cares about the weather when your children cannot eat.

> Maybe some alternate carbon-neutral fuel for combustion is possible, but all the ones we’ve tried so far have lost out to electric.

It was getting more efficient, but this stopped ever since all the governments got together and decided that by 2035 no more combustion vehicles would be sold. All incentives to produce more efficient combustion vehicles went out the window.

We are actually only a handful of inventions away from pretty low emissions combustion engines. There have already been significant inventions, such as the catalytic converter, DPF, fuel additives, turbos, intercoolers, direct water injection, etc.

I suspect we were only years from seeing KERS and MGU-H during acceleration events. I think it is also quite likely there would have been more effort to push for hybrid vehicles where only small batteries are used, again for acceleration events. Improvements in manufacturing processes would allow for high tolerances, increasing internal pressures and combustion efficiency.
Both companies got lumped together, but Waymo had and continued to have issues after Cruise stopped operations. Some of those continued making headlines, like the 3am honking.

During the time they were both operating public service in SF, Waymo had slightly fewer incidents proportional to their fleet size, but almost all of them were extremely minor. Cruise had mostly minor incidents with a few catastrophic failures.

> The "PowerPC Edition" did not sell much

NT4 included all the supported architectures on the cd-rom. You didn't buy an x86 version or a PPC version or a MIPS version or an Alpha version... You just bought NT4 client or server and it was all there. Microsoft may have had analytics of use on ppc, but not specifically sales. OEM sales, sure.

More likely, no PPC oems were interested in selling NT5 (Windows 2000) bundled with their hardware, and so Microsoft gave up on that. Alpha was supported into the release candidates (and I've seen comments that builds continued but were no longer distributed outside Microsoft), but Alpha imploded during the release time frame.

> If you have tattoos its entirely possible you'll actually be more careful in the sun by applying sunscreen.... but you also might be more prone to showing your ink off and therefore exposing a greater area of skin to the sun.

Knowing multiple tattoo artists, that's exactly what they observe from their customers : some are very careful about their skin exposure while other are doing the exact opposite.

They are not healthcare professionnal so they don't study skin cancers, but they can easily tell which one is which based on how the tattoo evolve year after year.

This could probably be the easiest factor to check.

Regarding the inks, since there's little to no regulation, even in the EU, and people tend to get tattooed when away from home, it could be much, much trickier.
>Why would this be hard to do in today's age?

Because we live in an age where coffeemakers have wifi cards in them. You can get a USB wifi card for $5. Every coffee shop has free wifi. Half of 6th graders have a cell phone. You can’t control kids on the internet because they have access whenever they are around other kids.

This is painfully outdated advice that acts as if nothing has changed in 30 years.
There's not even enough parking at a lot of offices. Despite an up to 50 mile commute, some are being told "well, you could take the bus. Or uber. Or walk."

Boto3-refresh-session: refreshing temp security creds in a boto3.Session obj
Hello --

This is my first post to this site, and the above-linked project is my first contribution to the OSS community.

I am sharing this project with you all because, in my estimation, it might help someone out there, albeit in a small way.

At nearly every job where I have worked, I have written some variation of the above-linked code. In total, it probably exists in some form in ten different repositories. Instead of rewriting that code for the Nth time, I decided to finally turn it into a proper Python package -- that is, a project with linting, auto-formatting, auto-documentation, and other such things.

The problem this project solves is, admittedly, small but annoying: temporary security credentials from IAM (AWS), of course, expire, rendering boto3.session.Session objects inert. The boto3 contributors have also historically taken the position that such functionality will not be introduced to the project. To deal with that problem, engineers normally catch the resultant error and refresh temporary security credentials manually, or they employ a technique more or less identical to the above-linked code. The intention of this project is to give engineers a simple and intuitive Python package that does what they would have done anyway, but without the extra work, albeit just 10 to 20 lines of code. In other words, this project doesn't claim to be more than it is--namely, a small project that does one thing but endeavors to do that thing well.

Admittedly, I haven't lurked long enough to get a sense of self-promotion on this site -- is it acceptable? I suppose I will find out.

If you have feedback then feel free to leave a comment or open an issue on Github.

In any case, have a wonderful day.

Thanks,

Mike
