Weird, why are they so shy about mentioning they're Russian on their website?

There are currently sanctions against Russia. They're not comprehensive, but many companies won't want to use a Russian company just because they don't want the risk that more stuff will be banned later (never mind the hassle of figuring out whether what you need to do is banned already)
Just look in your log files. Here’s my log file with the keys scrubbed, which I discovered while hunting down an unrelated issue.

Wrong, and wrong.
Sure, face-to-face without any prep is only acceptable for one-on-one talks (depending on the type of conversation, maybe a small number of people too).

I find it funny, how sending files securely still isn't a solved problem.

Record your neice blowing off the candles at her birthday party, and the next day, her mom asks you for the original (high quality) video file, so she can create a party-video... the file is shot on a phone in 4K and uses 300MB of space.

Mail? Nope, too big. Chat platforms? Too big. Cloud upload? You have to share a link, and some services (ahem, skype) actually open those links when you send them... who knows, they might even save the files there. Also, do you really wan't personal videos in the cloud? HTTP/(S)FTP servers too much of a pain to set up for a one time need. We atleast had DCC on irc, now not even that.

So a USB flash drive it is... and a car ride.
This style of inflammatory rhetoric does not belong on this site.

It’s clear they can cancel service; it’s not clear from the cloudflare TOS they can redirect you to their own content.

That doesn’t mean a judge would necessarily rule in kiwifarms favor or anything, but it seems obvious to me litigation could work sue to ambiguity.

Further, cloudflare could open itself to a lawsuit from police. If they already notified law enforcement then they are probably interfering in an investigation by letting the world know AND shutting down the source of said investigation.

Yet. This is a huge leap forward, to get more basic prompts generating things will be a much smaller leap IMO.

In recent years the Haskell ecosystem has drastically improved.

With Haskell Language Server (HLS) there's now great autocompletion and inline error reporting for e.g. VSCode and other editors.

We've recently got dot-notation, so you can type `myRecord.myField` instead of `myField myRecord`, which makes Haskell code feel more familiar when switching from other languages.

With IHP we now even have a Haskell version of Rails/Laravel. It's really a superpower to have Haskell's type system combined with the rapid development approach of Rails :) Check it out here: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ (I'm founder of IHP)

Serokell also has a great blog section on people using Haskell in the industry, e.g. recently there was an interview with the CTO of Mercury. https://serokell.io/blog/haskell-in-production

I‘m staying in a remote Italian region, mobile internet is almost nonexistent because antennas overbooking or something similar.
I bought a data-only eSIM from Airalo, that is able to connect to 3 (!!) different carriers, one of which works extremely well around here. It’s not cheap - 16€/10GB - but the convenience is top notch. There are many data-only eSIM global providers out there, you just have to search for them with the right keywords. I believe those services are mainly aimed at digital nomads.
Yup, totally free (with a Google account). It's run as a learning resource and there's an upsell to Collab+ and Collab Pro, but for running StableDiffusion it makes it very easy to get started!
I think it depends on platforms as well. On my Linux system GHCUP has been a godsend. Makes it easy to upgrade GHC + related development tools that are known to work well together with the Haskell Language Server. And with coc.vim (without any additional tweaking), the inline type errors within my editor simplified the development process a lot (no longer using ghcid since).

The last major hurdle I have with the Haskell ecosystem, is the lack of officially supported (and minimally divergent) alternative Preludes.
I had to resort to chmod 400 on the autostart file to prevent ms teams from writing to that file
Having read the whole piece, my take is a bit different. To say that denial is seductive is simply a outside view of things.

Life's a mess. We're all many things, all the time. We are the sum of all our feelings. If I've lived all my life in one place, having grown attached to it, it would be very difficult for me to decide to leave it for good.

And attaching to Freud more foreknowledge just because he happened to be Freud, the intellectual, is simply to deny him his humanity.

This whole article could perhaps be summed up thus: Freud was just like all of us, attached to the past, blind about the future, hoping for the best even at the worst of times.
We do have an energy surplus, we're just currently wasting a ridiculous amount of it for no particularly good reason.

Take the gas burned in homes for heating, burn it in power plants to generate electricity, power much more efficient heat pumps. We're already saving money and energy. Some countries figured this out in the 1970s.

Simultaneously, build out cheap renewables, to burn less gas for electricity production.

Same story for vehicles, take that oil/gasoline, burn it in power plants, use it to charge much more efficient EVs.

Hydrogen then can replace fossil fuels in other areas, e.g. fertilizers. (Again, put that now unused gas into electricity plants).

And so on, a virtuous cycle that takes you all the way to net zero and beyond.

> There is also a false equivalent on your part.

The livestream (which by the way was shared by the Kiwifarms owner) was spread on Facebook by many users.

Facebook deployed a fingerprinting solution to identify this video being reposted. Not just taking it down once, but taking down all submissions.

Noone expects that from Kiwifarms because they don't need it anyways. No matter what they tell you, they don't have that big of a comment stream. It takes less than 30 seconds to find an account with some Nazist symbolism in username or profile picture and they persist for years. Tell me how that adds up please.
If I'm not mistaken, the threat of violence came from someone USING the KF platform, not KF itself. If you want to make equivalences, deplatforming Destiny means removing him FROM a platform, and thus the person making threats should have been banned from KF to result an an equivalence. Yet the action taken was to actually remove the entire platform.

Am I wrong here?

> As a layman, it still blows my mind that giant companies can operate at such a massive loss for so long, seemingly without any road to profitability.

This is the effects of quantitative easing on our economy. We wanted to hypercharge our economy and encourage investments after the 2008 crash, but now things have become too bubbly. A lot of these companies that exist today are functionally useless / wastes of money / wastes of time for everyone involved.

I feel like the rising interest-rates will fix the problem. The price of "future money" is going up. Just a "little bit of profits" (or even operating for a loss) will be much harder moving forward.
There are many similar gems in this old Usenet thread:

There's an overarching theme of, "computers used to be much, much, much more sensitive to interference."
Sure, if you get one or two...

If you get 5000 from a twitter mob, from people living all around the world, you can still report, but there's pretty much zero chance that anything will happen to any of those 5000 people, because the threats are considered as "not real" and nobody wants to deal with 5000 cases (paperwork, warrants, judical process after, etc.)
So let me see if I get this. Uber has been struggling to become profitable and this blog has gone to town many times making fun of Uber for not being really profitable. Finally, Uber does the only thing that can get it profitable: raise prices and control costs. And this blog finds a way to complain again, saying that it " Uber transferred $2.8b from its drivers to its shareholders".

Of course, any company that makes any profit could instead, in theory, give that money to its employees/contractors. But then no company would ever be profitable. In addition, the blog says that the main reason for profitability is higher consumer prices, but then calls the profits a transfer from labor.

The post itself says Uber investors have spent 32B and hasn't seen any returns. So yes, profits have to come from consumers spending more money than labor takes in. Revenue minus expenses. It's math.

Don't get me wrong, Uber is very very far from a perfect company. But taking a communist point of view on everything a company does, just to stir anger and resentment, is not helpful.

I think the Haskell ecosystem is good enough, and there is a lot you can do from native UI to web server development. My issue is just getting my head around the complex
types you can end up with.

It is hard to opt out when libraries use them. And I gave it a pretty decent shot but it seems like a big hill to climb. Doable but requires a lot of dedication or a full time job in the stack with peers who can help onboard you.

How does that improve the situation? One spark and it all goes boom. It’s not the relative size of the leaks to the volume of storage that matters, it’s the fact that even a small leak will go boom very easily.
The entire point here, though, is that the Farms vigorously dispute having done any such thing. How are you to determine who's right?

To me, it seems by far fairer to make those decisions, as a society, via the court system and the laws, rather than by leaving them up to private companies.

Uber is inefficient because you need to spend $500 in car maintenance costs / fuel to make $500 as a driver.

Taxi companies, for all of their faults, can order fleet vehicles that minimize maintenance costs. Its a lot easier to maintain 100x of the same car, with the same parts, with the same maintenance crews/training, rather than 100x individuals all spending full rate on their own car maintenance fees.

Whatever vehicle is most efficient (ie: Prius for the last decade), can serve as the low-maintenance backbone of your car network.

I think for the most part it's great for everyone, except perhaps Toyota - and perhaps not.

If hydrogen is a dead end, plenty of car makers are making battery electric cars, little loss to the future. But you never know what invention is just around the corner. It might just be a good bet.

Battery electric cars still have drawbacks that can be improved on, hydrogen is behind but it's great that alternatives are considered in earnest.

No. Because whilst those companies are slower to respond (due to the volume of content their users generate) they are quite active at removing hateful and harassing content.

When CEOs make those choices for you voting with your wallet isn't going to cut it. At least with the state we have the ability to collectively decide what the limits of their power will be and hold them accountable when they overstep.

That other post has a Hacker News post on it already, with a big discussion thread.
Some things about the tooling have improved over the years. Stack and Stackage did not exist twenty years ago, and I find them indispensable. Libraries like text and optparse-applicative are stable. GHC has advanced to the point where new releases aren’t exciting to me anymore. The base libraries have settled down after things like the applicative-monad fix.

Other things have not changed much. Editor tooling consists of things that appear for awhile and then fall into unmaintenance. I tried using Emacs but its Haskell mode has improved little in years so now I just use Vim. People say the new Cabal-install is better but the UI and docs are littered with indicators that it’s still beta, and some old functionality has been dropped, so I’m afraid to use it. Meanwhile Stack now appears to be in maintenance mode. People rave about Nix but all it makes me do is scratch my head and wonder how it could possibly do anything that’s worth wading through heaps of conflicting docs and blog posts.

Overall though Haskell does what I need it to do. It kind of reminds me of Unix shells: strange in many ways that haven’t been fixed for decades, but still the best at what they do. Rust gets hype now but it doesn’t seem to be a better high-level language. It’s a better systems-programming language.

Haskell will chug along quietly but with some things backsliding while others improve, I don’t expect much net forward progress.

Free speech purists think that bullying people into suicide is categorically different to direct incitement to violence, despite that both of these cause the same outcome. This false dichotomy allows them to cling to their ideology.
> It's obviously a gamble, and one that can pay off.

It pays off better when loans are at 0.25% rather than at 3%.

This crap wouldn't fly in the 1980s economy of 15%+ interest rates. No one would fund your company when you can just make 15% on US Treasuries instead.
If they did and kept doing that, there wouldn't have been a basis for a suit.
You are still liable.
As far as I understand, protecting from DDoS attacks is a big enough part of Cloudflare business. Doesn't it create the conflict of interest here? I can imagine how it makes sense for Cloudflare to facilitate DDoS attacks by sheer ignorance with plausible deniability, to sell more DDoS protection to the targets.

Using their own analogy, the real fire departments actively prevent fires by enforcing safety policies, not merely fighting existing ones. If fire department is paid only for the fires extinguished, they are strongly disincentivised to enforce safety policies.
Perhaps it could be expanded upon with: Don't estimate, solve the problem.

Solving the problem may involve estimating, but blindly being asked "How long will this take?" without exploring the entire solution space, often without even being aware of what problem needs to be solved with that information, is when you get failed results. A time estimate may not even be the right tool to solve the particular problem.

If you are the one asking "How long will this take?" you have already recognized that you don't have a satisfactory solution yourself and need to defer to the experts, so why obscure useful context from those you are deferring to? While there may be some sense of pride in being the one to come up with the solution, such emotions aren't suitable for the workplace. It's okay to give someone else the 'glory' if they have the solution and you don't.
> Nothing has changed

Exactly. Proving that this isn't really a problem at all.

Cloudflare has exercised their right to drop this user. And KiwiFarms has moved to someone else.
That's really annoying, even though I hadn't noticed it until now. I can confirm this is an issue.

But the situation seems to be the same on the CompVis derived repos, right?

So this is no worse off, but with better engineered and faster code.
That's the 80s though, there wasn't much of the iron curtain left by that time.

That is not how I read it at all; I didn't read a strong conclusion in the article one way or the other, but if anything I would say it's "if you kicked off KiwiFarms, then why not all the DDoS services?"

But most of all, I think it's a nice example on how "being neutral" is actually quite tricky around the edges.
It's still a very dangerous precedent... not even the first... but different groups of people might notice the problem with deplatforming now.
Others may have reduced the batch size (n_samples) to reduce the memory load. A lower batch size will significantly help with the memory consumption.

Hardware memory faults are still possible right? And must be seen at AWS scale with enough equipment.
So they are lying when they say "targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life"?

How is that remotely possibly correct? As far as I know, Uber has had a single, highly publicized, fatal accident in its self-driving program and surely that car alone had driven more than a quarter of a mile on the day of the accident…
