AI seems well-suited for cyberattacks, because it doesn't matter if the AI hallucinates or gives the wrong "answer" so long as any _one_ of those attempts is correct. And furthermore, you will know right away if the AI has given the "right answer", a successful breach or any other foothold.

Read the paper! It doesn't say what the internet thinks it's saying. And what it says is very flimsy and could mostly explained with for example regression to mean.

Okei, tässä on vähän liikaa Howeyn henkilökohtaista elämänfilosofiaa. On sillä jotain mielenkiintoisiakin pointteja, mutta jooh.

The Knowledge Project -podcastissä oli muuten aikoinaan mielenkiintoinen keskustelu itsejulkaisemisesta Hugh Howeyn kanssa.

Hyvää tarinointia ja aika vähän vaahtoamista (mikä on hyvä).

Kirjallisuuden puolella ei taida olla "bandcampejä" mistä voisi ostaa kirjan niin että rahat menisivät artistille suurimmalta osin ellei sitten kirjailija itse mene täysin itsekustannus/julkaisulinjalla?

I get the feeling from the AWS public post-mortems that they do fixate on finding one root cause and this (at least partly) contributes to the fixes being more introducing automation and there being the disregard to the concerns you raise in the blog post.

My favorite place in the world.

I hope the water is getting colder also. That said, I guess it's pretty chilly already, around 10-12 degrees?

Didn't know how 'iptables' was pronounced so had to use the screen reader to find out.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't post about the humanitarian catastrophes on the social media. But the social media postings are not going to end the wars and genocides. (If the goal is to just get people to donate etc, social media might be one of the better options to accomplish that.)

Yeah, Reich's amazing.

I first heard Reich at a restaurant where we were having a casual dinner, didn't even know there was music there that night. Some small student ensemble was playing Reich there. I was immediately hooked and had to find out what music they were playing.

For a reason, though. Perhaps the most revolutionary, and importantly: the best, book about psychology.

Must have been nice to get a blurp from Thomas Kuhn.
