<p>As someone with a long-time interest in Tim Ferriss I’d say he’ll probably go most places he’s invited out of pure curiosity. He’s also attended TED and has been in many VC spaces so it’s not surprising that someone (maybe even Thiel himself) would invite him</p>

<p>I’d like some confirmation if possible, but my gut says the general internet (and therefore the training data) probably has a lot of sloppy Python code along with a lot of sloppy writing about Python whereas Phoenix has majority good code and well-reasoned writing</p>

<p>What I mean can be shown with an example:<p>Let’s say first that we know (some) users will inevitably agree to let malware compromise their system, no matter the popup or protections<p>A compromised system that’s transparent:<p>- Has only one way an executable can be started and, being designed as a “salt flat”, it’s easy to read<p>- Exposes <i>all</i> I/O and all network requests (to admins), regardless of driver abstractions<p>In this case, even a young enthusiast can look at a system and immediately see that it’s compromised, remove it’s ability to start or do work, and likely remove it from the system entirely.<p>The inspiration for this approach is a backlash against the absolute glut of places to hide in current user-focused systems. From multiple startup options, to services, to drivers, and in to the “hidden from the admin” executables that can be compromised it’s an ever-worsening problem that erodes user’s ability to keep their own system secure</p>

<p>For a long time, I’ve believed that the actual solution is to make the system transparent enough that a compromised system is obvious. Imagine playing hide and go seek in the salt flats</p>

<p>Devs and other people who have seen behind the scenes at large companies know that most security is at best shaky and mostly hand-waved<p>It’s not even really the fault of the people who pushed for these setups, it’s a seemingly simple business decision: build it in a way that looks secure, add some black-box process, and tell the overseers that the reason there are no attacks is because it’s bulletproof, and definitely not because no one has really tried<p>Then, when someone finally turns their attention to you and walks in: fire whoever needs to be fired, patch that specific hole, maybe spend a bunch of money on a different system, assure the overseers that it’s handled, and move on with business as usual<p>It’s cheaper in the long-run, it makes stockholders happy, it relieves the bosses and their bosses, and for the most part there are “no security holes”.<p>Until now, of course</p>

<p>> It's not even quite clear what the article argues against.<p>I think it can be summed up as “average CPU utilization, which is the common and intuitive first check doesn’t tell you the real story”<p>I would also suggest that these are “outdated” measurements as common CPU metrics are really designed for moderately multi-threaded, single-foreground-application on bare metal<p>To your point, someone who deeply understands the stack already knows these are not the metrics to look at, but this is clearly aimed at people who have not (yet) had to dive deep to figure out a scheduling issue</p>

<p>Yes but<p>I think you’re underestimating “average users”. If we talk about the median, then probably you’re right, but if we talk about “the group of people clustered around the average” I think there’s a lot of untapped potential, especially in people who assumed data and programming were unknowable/impossible and have therefore been held back by “good” tools like excel</p>
