This whole situation really goes to show that both the judiciary and the legislature need to be greatly expanded -- probably by 10 fold or more. Even if you greatly reduce the size of the federal government. The executive employs approximat

Only tangential to this post, but if you need a way to share secrets with your teams (or whoever), Hashicorp Vault is pretty decent. They don't even need login access. Instead of sharing secret values directly, you wrap the secret whic

This type of comment is another thing I don't quite understand -- as if no one but AI proponents have heard of the Singularity. "There's no point in investing in anything else" is a very presumptive, fact-free idea. It&#

Right, but $500 billion in data centers alone is not likely to get you very far in the grand scheme of things. Endlessly scaling up today's technology eventually hits some kind of limit. And if you spend that money to discover some the

I really don't understand the national security argument. If you really do fear some fundamental breakthrough in AI from China, what's cheaper, $500 billion to rush to get there first, or spending a few billion (and likely much le

It's a simple answer. Businesses are amoral organizations that only care about a few things, some of them being profits and their image (which is tied to their profits). I would've been surprised if Twitch didn't suspend them

Ultimately, people who complain about what methodologies, technologies, and procedures x, y, or z states, counties, or precincts are using need to contend with the fact that the only surefire way to reliably solve these issues is with feder

For anyone that's confused, there was an event at TwitchCon where some streamers (including one Jewish person) created a tier list. The tier list ranked other streamers according to whether they should be given a "pass" to sa

Surely there's some difference between text that a human wrote with some purpose, even a nefarious one, and an AI writing text with complete amorality. To lump those two things together is missing the point entirely. When I read the wr

FWIW: The Helm chart has network policy in place: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm/blob/main/charts/argo-... If you're using a CNI that supports network policy (e.g. AWS VPC CNI on EKS, Ca

As a side note to all this: Can we please get rid of encoding policy logic in JSON or other proprietary policy languages? I just want Rego, man. While we're at it, publish these IAM engines as public, open-source projects so that we ca

CloudTrail is almost never useful on its own. So often CloudTrail will tell you something is denied and give you literally no other useful, direct information, especially as you start dealing with SCP-related denials. CloudTrail gives you a

There are hundreds and thousands of students and faculty in the U.S. I'm sorry, but a handful of examples is not really particularly convincing. The survey results are interesting, but I think contradict the point you're trying to

Let me put it to you this way. All you hear about is what is reported in your media of choice. Having lived and worked on campuses before, I can tell you that these individual incidents happen A LOT, whether it's racism, anti-semitism,

I don't understand how your claims here are relevant to anything. In the hearing, Stefanik kept asking the presidents whether a call to genocide was considered bullying and harassment according to the respective universities' code

I would love everyone to just examine the specific situations as they arise instead of immediately jumping to Platonic discussions of merit and race and gender. Otherwise you're falling into a culture war trap that's completely un

What is the evidence that the proceeds from contracts gained from this change will actually go towards the people doing the work? That's what I always wonder. After all, Red Hat also recently cut hundreds of jobs, similar to other tech

Fascism is not just "expanding the size of the state". That's just incredibly naive, bordering on denialism. Substitute "the State" with "il Duce" or "der Fuhrer" in the statement you quoted. Tha

Nationalize elections? Use electronic voting machines exclusively? Literally the only reasons it works in Brazil (and things which will literally never happen in the U.S.)

Brazilian politics aside, just because Mussolini said it doesn't make it the definition. Of course Mussolini would describe it in such a way -- it's an incredibly self-serving definition. How else is a totalitarian dictator to mas

I don't think this is right. With RDS, for instance, you can reset the 'master' password from within the RDS console. (The RDS service itself retains the real superuser, the user RDS creates for you has some privileges droppe
