Just because you asked "vote" and not "vouch":

I expected to somewhere find at least a reference to the "fallacies of distributed computing" [1]. Looked into topic "how systems fail - what could go wrong".

Was surprised by the unstructured approach of a) (in the video) rambling down a list of personally encountered errors and b) (on the slides) presenting a messy picture containing the items of said list.

Together with the fact that the slides seem to have had no real update since 2016, i consider myself not part of the target audience and would not recommend this online class.

I while back i came across SystemC [1]. Have a look, even if C++ might be perceived as a joke in a thread about formally verified RISC-V.

> Former CIA Director John Brennan thinks there may be life on other planets too.

Found this in the article. This is close enough to "aliens!" if added to an article about airline incidents.

> So if Google can still track me at the same level, but others can no longer track me, that IS an improvement in privacy.

This is only true if Google does not sell the gathered information to others. If they sell the data, the net privacy gain is nil.

Are there ideas out there which "explain away" the problems arising from planetary/stellar movement?

My naive understanding of time travelling back a single day would put me in a spot where earth will be a day later.

Not taking side on the topic here, just a quick note on the dicatorship classification.

While some folks think a dictatorship requires a single person or small group in charge, it is widespread opinion in Germany, that the GDR was is in fact seen as a "dicatorship by one party", the SED. Mostly (to my understanding) this is based on the lack of separation of powers found in the GDR.

The "dictatorship" question is regulary a topic of more or less philosophical but most certainly emotional debates with each side being sure they are right. I cannot tell the percentage of "dictatorship"/"non-dicatorship" proponents.

(I am no history nerd.)

edit: pls replace "that the GDR was is in fact seen" with "that the GDR is in fact seen" in your mind

Optimistic guess: This information can be found in the paywall'ed article at [1]

> Dissecting our recurrent neural network model revealed strong inhibitory-to-inhibitory connections underlying a disinhibitory microcircuit as a critical component for long neuronal timescales and WM maintenance

If the article is worth the money, i would expect it to go into detail on it.

It might be out of scope, but:

Can you boot from the m.2 SSD? Do you have benchmarks for m.2 SSD?

This would make my day, as all i know of is some USB-dongled SSD that (back then) could not be booted from. Sry, if this is already standard today, i am a bit out of the loop.

For persons unfamiliar with 3D-printing advances of the last years, it would be nice to prominently state the used materials. At least for stuff like heatsinks.

I found nothing on the cnx-software website.

The INUX3D website just provides a generic statement about "special cases and materials".

edit: found "We use top quality PLA and PETG filaments for our products." on the INUX3D website

And this is why all the "they got into our left pocket but could not access the right pocket" statements can be ignored for now. It would be better to assume that every network/system in smelling range of a Solarwinds sticker is compromised.

I read it as f* up.

Thx for the info, i was unaware of this.

Question: Does inserting themselves as a henchman to enforce claims made by one party of a contract between third parties result in a legal risk for google (in your jurisdiction)?

Does google have to verify the claim triggering the feature reduction?

With 'car as a platform' and automotive corps at least toying with the idea of subscription based features (think: chip tuning and such) it seems tempting to expand this scheme to cars.

> There's nothing publicly known that would cause this.

I cannot tell if [1] meets the requirements for being a reasonable cause in your (or anybody else's) opinion. Decide for yourself.

Just to be fair: You are combining microservice characteristics and "using a single database" in your argument.

Please also consider that especially for smallish teams, microservices are not required to be the same as big corp microservices.

I have encountered a trend towards calling surprisingly many things non-monolithic a microservice. So what kind of microservice are you all referring to in your minds?

> What information is this pushing or hiding? This is trying to better understand how YouTube is making these recommendations, so it is a known factor when you talk to your kids and peers.

Well, I personally doubt that this project aims at purely understanding the recommendation logic and then doing nothing. But i might be mistaken. Time will tell.

I do not feel comfortable about this.

From my point of view the proper way to solve this is to educate people and build up "media competence".

Who defines what a harmful video is? Such classification is always influenced by current trends, social norms and so on. What might be harmful to a child might be not even worth a shrug to an adult. What is fact today, might be laughable tomorrow and heresy the day after. Have fun navigating this.

If you think that youtube guides people on downward spirals towards extremism and is not willing to acknowledge or change it - talk to your kids and peers about it. Repeat this until they are able to decide for themselves.

But pushing some information (sort of propaganda) and hiding some information (sort of censorship) both lead down a dangerous path.

I can't put my finger right on the spot, but it seems like nuking a hurricane.

Funny detail: Magic the gathering hits very close to home by accident.

One of the (back then) dominating bitcoin exchanges used the domain mtgox.com which was an acronym for "magic the gathering online exchange".

I do not think that the actions of a 3rd party should be influencing our decisions regarding the standards we apply to ourselves.

> So oil spills in unprotected areas are less serious because

I do not think this is the point the author tried to make. I read this more like "despite the minor amount of oil spilled compared to other spills, this one will hurt like a big one".

You are clearly right on the topic of intentionally addictive click bait.

> that long-sought serenity

But i don't think changing your input is related to gaining that long-sought serenity - in a sense of being immune to those inputs if required.

I my opinion it boils down to being human and being to some degree a puppet of your brain chemistry, meaning we can search for said serenity but are propably doomed to never find it.

Maybe this is because of the visibility.

If your security legislation is often declared partly illegal by the Verfassungsgericht (latest [1]), you leave the impression of reaching too far by default.

If your courts do not declare (too far reaching) laws illegal, you leave the impression to have been right in your demands.

I get your point, and you may be right and it might take off.

But is a latency of 2ms up to 50ms really attractive? I am in no way near audio engineering, but i can remember the MIDI-folks swearing about their 2ms latency.

I once made the shocking discovery, that most ISO and IEEE documents can be found on chinese PDF dump sites. Since this is obviously against all copyright laws, i would recommend to explicitly exclude such domains from your google search. Just to be safe.

This sounds like fun tech.

But isn't this dead before it really lifts off? Intel 1588 is not supported by every customer-NIC, and far from supported by most switches and such.

So if i have to build a "special" hardware environment anyway, why use AES67 and not some other proprietary solution without IP which may (? or may not) deliver better latency and jitter?

Last time i checked (which is a while back), the same support-argument would apply to multicast.

Am i missing the point here? Please enlighten me. Thank you!

To my understanding, the ability to perform browser-to-browser communication with WebTransport API is not touched by the document. Is my reading right?
