Sandboxing. The new way of doing containers.

I'd think of it as plugins everywhere, like L7 proxies [1]. The code for a network filter could be reloaded in the server upon detection to a configuration change. I believe the startup mad dash is on to capture who is going to run the container runtimes, and host the plugin repositories.

So my guess is that Fermyon Technologies with Spin could be looking to follow the Vercel with NextJS model where everything will be open source and runnable from the development runtime, but there eventually will be features like Edge Functions [2] in five years that will only be available when you deploy to their hosted service. They'll likely work towards that with web services with Spin [3]
and CMS with Bartholomew [4] for starters. Instead of everything linked together in a NodeJS app directly, your code will run from a WASM library in a sandbox.

But my guess about the Vercel model could be slightly wrong after checking out their solid founding team [5] -- the bios emphasize the WASM and Kubernetes worlds. The problem if it is something like the Docker model is that the standard will just be made with the big players like OpenContainer [6] and the enterprise business sold off [7], and/or folded into one of the cloud infra players (with the data centers).

That's awful, and hackers got Microsoft recently too. What's next, Linux? Only a matter of time.
This doesn't sound like a solution at all.

It went from "pointing a gun at an item" to "concentrating a sample".

I've done analytical chemistry before and sampling accurately is not a trivial thing.

>Your whole house of cards rest on the idea that I have to agree that James Bauder was never a leader of the movement.

Does it matter if you agree or disagree with this? I provided a cbc link that listed the leaders. Bauder was not among them. Why do you think the CBC didn't even list bauder?

In fact, im just doing a search right now... there's no articles on cbc at all listing bauder as anything at all. Which is in fact impossible because I recall reading about bauder, the mou, and how they plan to overthrow the government on the cbc amongst others. It would seem the CBC quietly deleted those articles.

>When James Bauder said he was a leader of the movement.

Did you know I am the leader of BLM?

>hen many news outlet identified him as a leader of the movement. When many protesters identified him as a leader of the movement. And Tamara Lich never denounced him or any of his formal requests to the Governor General.

Why indeed has BLM never denounced me, John Smith the ecoterrorist. Is it by chance Bauder and I were just never a leader. That media smears were ignored by the real leadership?

Politically unaligned media don't get to pick the leaders of a protest.

>Reality doesn't care about your feelings about James Bauder.

I know why you cling to Bauder so much when clearly he's not a real entity. Without this tremendously weak point... you literally have nothing else to say the protest were 'overthrowing the government'. Without this tenuous at best point, how do you ever justify a national emergency.

Ultimately it doesnt even matter. They were parked outfront parliament for weeks and never quite got around to insurrection. The entire narrative that they were trying to overthrow the government is without merit. Reality is on my side.
It says nothing about feature selection.
Wouldn't being required to release hardware specs support that healthy competition though? I'm sure the market will eventually settle on the better product either way, but it will happen faster if systems are documented and interoperable enough that people can easily switch to a better competitor. Companies withholding data that would let consumers make better decisions, or deliberately making their systems incompatible, is anti-competitive and wasteful.
There are a few companies doing this. The most established one is probably Remote Year.

>Feature selection is well... selecting features. You start with your original 10 features and you pick which ones to use.

That sounds a lot like another form of dimensionality reduction to me. The part people trip up on is that dimensions have a very specific definition in the world of statistics. All of these are basically reductionist approaches to tackle representing more complex systems by shedding information, they just go about it in different ways.
> MCP (as in the Burroughs OS) stood for Master Control Program. The villain in Tron was named for the OS.

I specifically said this in the article:

Interestingly, there is this paragraph in the Wikipedia article:

> Although Bateman's principle served as a cornerstone for the study of sexual selection for many decades, it has recently been subject to criticism. Attempts to reproduce Bateman's experiments in 2012 and 2013 were unable to support his conclusions. Some scientists have criticized Bateman's experimental and statistical methods, or pointed out conflicting evidence, while others have defended the veracity of the principle and cited evidence in support of it.

Seems like a very convincing conjecture otherwise, though.
> For each proposed change, ask whether we increase or decrease natural rights (especially to life and property).

I asked myself and answered: Requiring companies to document their hardware for right-to-repair or right-to-utilize reasons has no effect on life, and some effect on property. It would give individuals more power over their own property - more power over their old school, physical possession, basic territoriality, property. The government protecting people's right to repair and utilize their physical possessions seems like a good thing.

At this point you seem, to me, to have reversed position. Are you now okay with requiring companies to document their APIs for the benefit of consumers (in some cases at least)?

Either way, this conversation is frustrating to me, and one I wont continue here (you're, of course, welcome to respond and debate with others). I'm frustrated because the "no regulation, no government" view hides a lot of nuance and shuts down conversations. It's so easy to throw out "no government" and so hard to talk past it, and I think this is one reason libertarian views like this often cause people to just roll their eyes and ignore. I'm sympathetic to a lot of libertarian ideas, but I wish people would give more acknowledgement to why people want regulation (in this case) before a drive-by "no government please" comment.

There was a recent discussion on PCA for classification that I had walked into, however, everyone had left the building when I joined. Since I run into this conceptual misunderstanding of PCA's relevance to classification often, let me repeat what I said there.

The problem with using PCA as a preprocessing step for linear classification is that this dimensionality reduction step is being done without paying any heed to the end goal -- better linear separation of the classes. One can get lucky and get a low-d projection that separates well but that is pure luck.
Let me see if I can draw an example

++++++
++++++++++++++++
+++
---------
-----------------
-------

The '+' and '-' denote the data points of the two different classes. In this example the PCA direction will be the along the X axis, which would be the worst axis to project on to separate the classes. The best in this case would have been the Y axis.

A far better approach would be to use a dimensionality reduction technique that is aware of the end goal. One such example is Fisher discriminant analysis and its kernelized variant.
This is what I've seen. The blame culture is so those above you are shielded from failure but rewarded from success.

The point being if you're an engineer working on a project and it is done quicker than the timeline there will be nothing extra accept a thank you. If your project it late you could be fired.
It is indeed. It's trying to empower the individual so that it can fight back and help protect its community. It also helps create incentives to prevent cheating as it makes it observable by making general measurement cheap, so that the resulting system is better for everybody and not only those that can afford it.

I think I missed how the article’s initial premise is worked around by Wander. How is it avoiding competing with AirBnB unbundling itself (ie Luxe)? Isn’t that basically what the author says not to do? Is the only difference that Wander managed to acquire a large VC round?
The term "iPhone" to many people means a phone, any phone. The term Wifi seems to mean a network.

I 100% agree with you. There is strong indication we are heading towards a more volatile world, and we need to collectively discuss these questions.

I'd like to add that most posters here on HN are arguing conditional on living in a Western democracy. And most Western democracies have set different restrictions - but all do have some restrictions. E.g. it's illegal to deny the holocaust in Germany.
The lack of having been discriminated against is by definition not a "privilege". What's wrong isn't the lack of discrimination, but the idea that lack of discrimination should be called a "privledge" rather than a "norm". It attacks people for not having hardship, namely turning something that's good int o something that's bad. The use of the term "white privledge" fundamentally applies that to make things "equal" we must discriminate against white people as much as we discriminate (as a society) against non-white people. Namely, bring people doing well down to the level of someone doing badly, rather than elevating the people doing poorly up to the level of "normal".

It's a fundamentally bad phase to use.
I don't think AGI is seeking to create a machine that can love, and I think it would be even less capable of it than "mere" logical intelligence.

Thank God too, the moral questions involved are truly terrifying (humanity as a Great Demiurge, birthing monstrosities).
I'd imagine the biggest use case will be to simplify unit tests and local dev.

>If you keep playing video games or surfing the Internet for 8 hours a day, it’s almost impossible to develop a passion (or addiction) for anything else.

Stopped reading after this. I became a programmer because after playing video games for 8 hours a day, I wanted to make my own.

And it's led to an amazing career, as long as your hobbies aren't hurting anybody else, feel free to dive into them.

Way too much time is given to judging the personal habits of others, I literally couldn't bother to finish the article after reading that.
> why I should have any right to dictate the standards of the goods you may knowingly and willingly purchase, and particularly when the consequences of your substandard purchase are born by you?

They are not born by me, as I personally have a very low influence on the market. Market is dictated by the masses, and masses are manipulated (nudged) by media, which is again controlled by the corporations.

Your argument of blaming individuals for bad choices masses make is deeply flawed and skewed in favor of corporations.

I've never had a good Airbnb experience. There is simply no incentive for hosts to provide good accomodations. On the flip side, hotels that cost as much as typical Airbnbs provide a drastically better experience. After paying a fortune for yet another lousy Airbnb a couple weeks ago my wife and I agreed we'd never use Airbnb again.
Numbers aren't emergent behavior. Numbers are a metaphysical category. Categories are metaphysical. There's no empirical evidence for order vs. randomness. The concept of "order" doesn't make sense empirically. There has to be a separate, metaphysical value structure that determines whether the data aligns to the value structure or not. Just because you haven't been clear in your thinking doesn't mean metaphysics aren't real or essential to dealing with the physical world.
I recommended Hetzner to a client as I always heard good things on HN about it, but the experience was pretty bad, their (managed) platform is outdated, they are slow to respond to support tickets and respond like they didn't even read it and they are pretty strict and not willing to enable specific features on your dedicated machine.

I still think their performance/pricing is good, but sales/customer experience was really poor.

> How can one turn the sinking, horrified feeling when one loses a love into a function? Or describe in terms of a function, the blissful wonder of being in the arms of a lover?

Evocative questions but I have to challenge the premise. First, that things like emotions and qualia are design ends in themselves for a successful AGI rather than potential emergent properties of same.

For that matter, are they really necessary to the brief?

> An issue I have is the that there seem to be profound limitations to language, explored in the philosophy of language, that fail to capture much, if not most, of the world.

And how much of the world does a human mind capture?

The piece already accounts for this claim. The theory is that all language has to do is describe a sophisticated enough network. After that it's black boxes all the way down.

> Language is the only tool we have for programming a mind

And a darn good one. Formal languages can express a great deal when you find the right abstractions.
Ask HN: Why don't PCs have better entropy sources?
After reading the thread "Problems emerge for a unified /dev/*random" (1) I was wondering why PCs don't have a bunch of sensors available to draw entropy from.

Is this assumption correct, that adding a magnetometer, accelerometer, simple GPS, etc to a motherboard would improve its entropy gathering? Or is there a mathematical/cryptographical rule that makes the addition of such sensors useless?

Do smartphones have better entropy gathering abilities? It seems like phones would be able to seed a RNG based on input from a variety of sensors that would all be very different between even phones in the same room. Looking at a GPS Android app like Satstat (2) it feels like there's a huge amount of variability to draw from.

If such sensors would add better entropy, would it really cost that much to add them to PC motherboards?

Without query translation you won't be able to do much date querying since date formatting and getting now() are very different in postgres and sqlite.

Also, sqlite doesn't support INTERVAL which I personally use heavily in postgres.

Curious how the author plans to deal with this since they mentioned they're interested in supporting BI tools that presumably wouldn't issue sqlite queries if they think they're talking to postgres.

You might have heard about this or tried it, but if not: There's some very promising studies from last year regarding treatment of CLBP that doesn't seem to have a physiological cause[1]. This type of "treatment" helped me turn around my backpain (both upper and lower) which had been getting worse and worse over ~6 months (not very long, I know), and after a few months I was virtually pain free.

This type of therapy is not new, but it's only very recently that proper big and reputable studies have been done. Most people don't even need to see a professional, reading online and doing it on your own is enough for the majority (including me).

You can run your own workloads really cheaply on a self-hosted Kubernetes cluster on a cheap provider like Hetzner or similar. Cloud being expensive is really just because AWS, Google, and Microsoft are milking the enterprise market. If you're a price sensitive cloud customer go somewhere else.
