See 6.2.1 of RFC8881, where NFSv4 ACLs are described. They are quite similar to Windows ACLs.

Here is kernel dev telling they are against adding NFSv4 ACL implementation. The relevant RichAcls patch never got merged: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/15/52

Maybe someonw can explain me, but I never understood the appeal of GPIB for modern instruments (legacy instruments are of course "excused"). Electrically is a terrible interface that introduces ground loops with the control computer. Speed are laughable and it requires exensive and exotic adapters with complex sw stack (I wish this projects good success, it's needed!). Ethernet in comparison tick all my boxes. It's electrically decoupled by default (just use UTP cables), crazy cheap, very fast and with sane sw stack thanks to vxi-11. You can even bypass visa if you wish and open a plain TCP socket, no need for any library. What am I missing?

The Wartime Prohibition Act was passed during the drawdown from World War I and the basis for upholding it was the wartime powers of Congress on the basis of a scarcity of grain from the war.

The last Congressionally declared war was World War II, so if that was supposed to be the constitutional basis for the Controlled Substances Act, there would seem to be the obvious problem that the war was generations ago and nobody is diverting wheat from the food markets to make MDMA.

Yo HN! I’m Souhail. I made this tool called Kolors. How is it different from Coolors? Kolors let you map primitive and semantic colors, which means they are customizable to match any design system.

This tool is live on PH, so it would be great if you could upvote it: https://www.producthunt.com/products/kolors-2?launch=kolors-...

No one seems sufficiently outraged that human drivers kill 40,000 people a year in the US.

It's approximately one 9/11 a month. And that's just the deaths.

Worldwide, 1.2m people die from vehicle accidents every year; car/motorcycle crashes are the leading cause of death for people aged 5-29 worldwide.

I would describe this as giving up on any serious agency, and retreating into a game of time killing tactics oriented around other people's confused reactions.

A way to offload the challenging search for purpose, to a shallow controllable process, consistent with the described disillusionment.

But people are idiosyncratic. Maybe for someone, a life of inscrutable eccentric rebellion against the Gods of practical reality, might actually be deeply meaningful to them - even if they don't admit it.

There are people who are genuinely happy doing the same thing every day. Every day. That is just as strange to me!

A famous case where this came into play was one of the Infowars defamation suits. Alex Jones’s lawyer accidentally sent the families’ lawyer the full contents of a phone backup. They notified Jones’s lawyer, and gave him some time to reply. After that time elapsed, the whole dump was considered fair game.

This is the moment when that mistake was revealed in court: https://youtu.be/pgxZSBfGXUM and this is the hearing for the emergency motion to suppress that data: https://youtu.be/dKbAmNwbiMk

>It is not that different from German in this matter.

Russian inflection changes the stress. In German it's fixed. Inflectional forms are much more varied in Russian. Colloquial German is much more analytical (past tense is almost always "ich habe" + participle). German has devolved to basically 3 cases at this point (with genitive dying out), compared to Russian's 6. But conceptually, they're very similar indeed.

If you just want to be understood, Russian is not very hard. I think it's true for any language. To master it, however...

It's an attempt to escape the control of the system but it's a reactionary approach, which at the end of the day, is just letting the system dictate how your life unfolds in a different way.

To live well and accomplish OP's goal in the modern era you have to understand that the attention economy has won, completely and totally. You can choose to live your life in a proactive manner: motivating force arises internally, through contemplation, meditation, deliberate study, and intention.

Or you can choose to live it reactively: you look at what just popped up in your feed and you write a blog post about it.

We're living more reactively than ever now. It's stifling creativity and individuality, it's creating depression and anxiety. The answer is to unplug and let the motive force for your actions start coming from your internal world again. It's okay to be influenced by the outside but we're more possessed now by derivative slop (see how all brand logos have essentially become the same) than we probably ever have been. It's time to unplug from the hive mind and wait in the resulting stillness for the next step.

> A word processor can save it's state at an arbitrary point...

As ENTIRE STATE. Video codecs operate on essentially full frame + stream of differences. You might say it's similar to git and you'd be incorrect again, because while with git you can take current state and "go back" using diffs, that is not the case for video, it alwasy go forward from the keyframe and resets on next frame.

It's fundamentally order of magnitude more complex problem to handle

Along with the recent results on HRM/TRM, it seems like you can squeeze a lot more juice out of LLMs just by having some sort of iterative refinement?

I can buy that it works, but seems like the agent harness needs to be specific to the task at hand. It's hard to find more info on Poetiq but based on their site

>Our approach allows us to find effective task-specific reasoning strategies using much less data (hundreds of data points, rather than millions), while being compatible with the LLMs you’re already using.

I'm guessing it's something like automatic prompt-engineering + automatic agent topology exploration.

AI accellerates my learning. It helps me understand, do more experiments and lured me into reading more code. I think AI also helps me be more productive, but I‘m less focussed and sooner exhausted. I also fear its addictive potential which is why I force myself to take breaks more often and try to not use it every day.

AI fundamentally changed the programming experience for me in a positive way, but I‘m glad that it’s not my full time job. I think it can also have bad effects which can not be easily avoided in fulltime roles under market conditions.

When the west negotiated with Gorbachev the Warshaw Pact was still existing. Everybody had big problems on their hand and nobody thought about NATO membership of nations that still were part of the Pact.

It is not about agreeing/disagreeing. If you publicly cancel a claim you no longer have it.

But just listen to what local Russian politicians/media tell their people and what Russians think. They are very comfortable with their imperial/colonial agenda and all these discussions/arguments we are having are primarily for western consumption. Read the propagandist narratives that Russia put out for the winter war or Hitler with the Sudeten Germans. You could just change the names and many pamphlets would fit right in current Russian propaganda.

Russia will always say everything and let people in the west sift through it to find things that fit the various agendas. In the end Russia will have more than it did before like in Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Donbas and the invasion they are running right now.

I don't think that's right - although of course we are speculating about what's happening inside the head of Musk.

Musk strikes me as an juvenile and naive man, precisely the kind of man that would take a hatchet to a complex system while believing he is competently reforming. His experience with taking over Twitter probably reinforced his belief that you can move fast and break organisations and, despite all the moaning from liberals, nothing bad will happen in the end.

So Musk is exactly the man to honestly believe in what he was doing, and he was immersed in a right wing echo chamber, which for 50 years has been talking about government waste.

Don't ascribe to malevolence what can be explained by incompetence.

You wouldn't say Thinkpad is a US laptop anymore.

Milwaukee tools? Chinese.

You wouldn't say that many of the skyscrapers in China designed by international artists and architects weren't Chinese.

It doesn't matter who is designing the Chinese cars. They're Chinese owned and operated. That's where the buck stops.

What's to stop the Swedish portion from being downsized in the future? That call would be made in China.

They can't, if the variations are subtle enough. For example, many people are oblivious to the fact that one can extract audio from objects captured on mute video, due to tiny vibrations.

Analog is the worse option here. Simple screenshot of 100% black bar would be what a smart lazy person would do.

Apple makes a choice here, they don’t degrade anything they just choose to be difficult and to have to be forced to do the right thing by “whomever has enough money to sue us”.

If you’re a user of Apple devices, I don’t know why you’re defending them because noting this corporation does is meant for you once they double dip on you buying their hardware and then signing up for their services.

Romance languages have more verb tenses. I actually learned that Russan's past tense is the same compound past as in them, German and English, only learning that. Also, Old Russian dropped participles, but re-borrowed them from Church Slavonic (southern Slavic), so we know these things, and learn them at school. (Ukrainian has participle 2, but not 1, as far as I understand.)

Also, possessive pronouns are exactly like in English, concording in gender with the owner, not the object. Some people can't wrap their head around that it can be the other way around, e.g. Italian "sua madre/suo padre" can mean both his and her mother/father. In German, they must concord with both, sein Vater, seine Mutter, ihrer Vater, ihre Mutter. But Russian regional dialects do have the same feature, and if your teacher isn't a mad purist, they can easily give examples: евойная, еёйный.

Otherwise, indeed, there are less features. And in Indo-European, they're all the same: compound past tense, participles, compound past and future.

To give an example of another system: Turkic languages. 4 modal verbs (to run, to walk, to stand, to lay down), that must be applied to everything except the verb "to be", they indicate how much hurry you have doing what you're doing. It's a bit similar to Russian aspect (complete/incomplete), but way more complex. Plus you have noun cases, and everything is a suffix, and the verb is always the last. So, "I don't do X" will be something like "I <verb+ing> <stand>+me+not" (like those German prefixes that fall down in the end of the sentence.) My colleague, a Kazakh born in Russia, learns it as a foreign language, and he says it's hard.

The most important point is that even if AI capabilities do not improve much past the current state of the art, the consequences of this technology will still take years to play out, both in tech and in society as a whole.

We are already seeing diminishing returns on state of the art models as training becomes more expensive for smaller relative improvements. For AI companies, attempting the next generational leap becomes an increasingly risky bet, but missing the next generational leap would mean bankruptcy.

In the rest of the tech world, attention and investment will continue to move towards tools build on top of AI models, probably with coding agents as the initial and main focus. AI is a foundational technology, but we are still figuring out what we will build on that foundation.

The only reason to use the web is because it reaches everywhere. you then hoble it by making it not work in 2/3rds of the world you might as well have just shipped a native app.

Also, I think you're under estimating the amount of work required. No one wants your custom solutions. They want the OS solution. They want their OS IME that they use in every app, not the one you built from scratch for your "blat pixels to the page" app. They want their passkeys from their OS, which are only available via web features and are not available from "blat pixels to the page" apps. They want their auto correct to use all the words in their local OS dictionary but that's not available to "blat pixels to the page" apps. I could list several more issues like this

Hi,
I would concur to some of the comments.
A key frame in H264 is already encoded in a similar way as JPEG. Major differences are the "defaults": the flexibility of JPEG in terms of colors depth, color map, but that can be also addressed with a video codec, too.
Then when using a video codec like H264, it will also contain differential frames which will only send differences. It depends on the content but these frames can be significantly smaller than a key frame, like 10x.

So the math is that H264 can nearly only be better than JPEG, assuming proper parameters for the type of content, the targeted transmission challenges, the transmission type.

Using JPEG is close to using only key frames from a compression stand point (not to say, it is exactly like that), which is close to older protocols like MPEG-1 (DVD), or close to intra-frames only codec (like used as intermediate formats, for editing or preservation). And the difference in size is a no-brainer, eventually this is the amount of data that needs to be sent to every user.

In my opinion, the first consequence of using JPEG only is the cost per device, the number of concurrent streams from a server and what not.

If the perception of quality is low with H264 compared to JPEG, some parameters need to be adjusted.
And ultimately, H264 is already an old codec anyway, not the one I would recommend, newer ones can address visual perception and bandwidth in a much better way. the VP-8/9/AV1 family will reduce the "macro block" effect of the H.26x codecs.
Using HDR will dramatically improve the quality and will crush any benefit from JPEG, benefits related to the number of bits per pixels and the poor 8bits color maps, with a much higher efficiency.

Should the volume of users and the cost per user be of any consideration, a lossy video codec will prevail.

Video projects are challenging in the details: wish you the best.

I think "Mein Kampf" is the equivalent of celebrity gossip: you are very superficially interested because why not. The depth of the book is similar to the depth of this gossip's interest.

I had a look at the book a few years ago. After a few pages (somewhere in the middle of the book), you can see the writing style (not very good, overexcited, and that would appeal to people who look for it), but it would take longer to get a grasp on the content.

I strongly suspect that this does not meet the strict timing requirements that GPIB has. Putting this on your bus is likely to violate both the T1 hard timing requirements and the impedance requirements.

Use of the "standard" set of 74-series buffers that everybody uses would meet impedance requirements and would also allow the usage of a much faster MCU which likely could be made to adhere to the strict T1 timing requirements (with the caveat that most microcontroller USB stacks are piles of garbage that demand that they get interrupt priority even when you tell them otherwise).

> But anyone can visually examine this.

Can they? In principle it could be the difference between RGB 0.0,0.0,0.0 and RGB 0.004,0.0,0.0, that could be very difficult to visually see, but an algorithm could unmask the data with some correlation.

If you do it digitally and then map the material to black-and-white bitmap, then that you can actually virtually examine.

> Contrast that with a digital redation. You have to trust the tool works.

While true, I think the key problem is that the tools used were not made for digital redaction. If they were I would be quite a bit more confident that they would also work properly.

Seems like there could be a product for this domain.. And after some googling, it appears there is.

It’s kind of amazing that after nearly 20 years of “cloud”, the worst case so far still hasn’t been all that bad. Outages are the mildest type of incident. A true cloud disaster would be something like a major S3 data loss event, or a compromise of the IAM control plane. That’s what it would take for people to take multi-region/multi-cloud seriously.

I’m using a GLinet GL-XE3000 for that and it’s great. Initial setup of the 5G eSIM on a physical SIM took a little searching but it’s been rock solid and having consistent access on the road and hotels has been great for family travel.

I bought that adapter, because I wanted to keep using my good old, high quality, corded earphones. It technically works, but it's not a nice experience. The adapter looks and feels out of place. It's the only white part in the setup (can't buy it in black), the cable is thin as a hair and feels like it might break soon, and I now have the additional plug and socket on that cable, which makes it awkward to put the phone in my pocket.

Can anybody explain what Tailscale is, does, or why everybody seems to have it?

Looking at their website, it’s just a huge wall of business jargon. Really! Read it. It’s nothing but a list of enterprise terminology. There’s a “how it works “ page full of more (different) jargon, acronyms and buzzwords, but no simple explanation of why everybody on this thread seems to be paying money for this thing?

Any help? Should I just pay them my $6/month and hope I figure it out at some point?
Shooter game but real money is on the line. Would you play?
by MikeyLi | 2025-12-24 08:21:33+00:00
Everybody puts in the same amount of money to enter the game, e.g. $1.

Third person shooter game (similar to Fortnite and Shell Shockers), but probably minimal features to keep the game less complicated and easy to learn. Keep the game environment decently small to there is intense action. map design will try to avoid camping spots and hiding spots.

If I kill a player i get all of their money. Open server ffa. maybe $1, $5, $10 servers. Have a protective shield for players

Cash out by standing still for 3 seconds

You get slight stat boosts (health and damage buffs) the more money you collect to incentivise big jackpots to still play and not cash out because of advantage.

And then the house takes a small fee of people's winning to keep servers running and getting more people to play

Probably uses cryptocurrency to play with

Would you play?

also considerations I need help with:
- how do I deal with lag in such a high stake game
- how to prevent cheats and bugs
- Legal stuff

Not grandparent, but I'm in the same boat. I've been dreaming for almost 10 years of building a sort of digital bullet journal. I had some feeble attempts to start, but never got to the point where I could actually use it. Last year I started again, heavily LLM assisted. After 1-2 weeks (this was before agents), I had something usable, from which I could benefit, which wanted to make me improve it more, which made me want to use it more.

By now it's grown to 100k lines of code. I've not read all of them, but I do have a high level overview of the app, I've done several refactorings to keep it maintainable.

This would not have happened without AI agents. I don't have the time, period. With AI agents, I can kickoff a task while I'm going to the park with my kids. Instead of scrolling HN, I look every now and then to what the agent is doing.
