Hey all!

Here's a feature I worked on recently at Oso -- it's a little UI for building example policies combining different authorization features.

I thought folks here might like it. It feels like there's been some growing excitement around logic languages, and our language Polar is inspired by a combination of prolog, datalog, and miniKanren! The builder shows a few examples of what's possible with that approach. Happy to answer any questions.
Are gravel bikes heavy now? From what I remember (admittedly 10 years ago) "gravel" bikes were pretty much cyclocross bikes to begin with just with slick tires.

I sold my fancy lightweight cyclocross bike around this time and built myself a fully custom bike with a hodgepodge of parts - I wanted something that looked a bit vintage cool and also not as stealable so I went with the pinnacle of late 1980s touring frames (steel) which is obviously not light but not all that heavy either. Bought lightweight 29er rims + 35C quality touring tires, wide flared dirt drop bars, nice 9sp bar end shifters with a triple crank up front (9sp being my favourite in that you can still friction shift it easily if needed and the bar ends can easily switch from indexed to friction at the flick of a switch). The thing absolutely flys on gravel, pavement, dirt roads, shitty sidewalks - basically is my do everything bike for general use from groceries to exercise.
My experience is the opposite for the most part.
The real game-changer in search would be if companies would agree to publish indexes of their own sites in an open standard to a place that everyone could access. This would undercut the monopoly power that large search engines have and allow everyone to focus on innovating the best way to search that content vs. having to spend so much time and money to crawl and index it.
I think there are many better explanation for the video, most of them have to do with hiding the fact that Biden is old as fuck.
Everything Is Not for You
I recognize that it could be a helpful and rigorous experience in sales, but most car people I've gone to across dealerships have tried to guilt trip and lie to me to get me to spend more money than I have. As a student paying full in cash, I was pushed ruthlessly despite firmly saying no, and ultimately I got my car somewhere else.

It reminds me how Best Buy used to have horrible customer experience, it was all commission-based, and you would be hounded when first walking in the store. Then Apple came along with the model of "don't force someone to do anything, and the right product for them might not be in the store, and that's fine". (Notably, Best Buy seems to have gotten better since.)
Not really, no, but this is about increasing confidence, not about dealing with threats that are actually likely.
We've run a ton of different PSU's. Everything from super cheap no-name chinese stuff to refurb/tested high end HP server class. None of them are super reliable.
I have never had an update break it.
So you knew it’s not the general case, and yet you said it anyway.
The more counts the better, let a machine count first to give quick results, but use multiple machines and software solutions, kept fully airgaped. Then count by hand.

A tiny horror story from the last Norwegian election was when some results were delayed due to problems with a scanner. The news story about that machine mentioned that the machine was connected to the internet (shudder), and ran Win XP (facepalm).

The internet should only be used for reporting preliminary numbers, and the counting machines should not be talking directly to the net at all.
Nonsense. I bought an RX570 in April 2019 and it cost me €210, or about $235.
There are deep adverse performance implications for what you are suggesting. The result of trying to dynamically mix and match that much arbitrary structure would likely combine the worst of both worlds. You can essentially do this today with databases like PostgreSQL but there are good reasons no one does. (What you are describing appears to be a thin wrapper on what would conventionally be called a graph database.)

If there is an "obvious" improvement to database capabilities that seems to be mysteriously absent from all competent implementations, one should consider the hypothesis that it would make databases strictly worse across many dimensions people care about. One thing that can be said about the history of database software is that it has tended to exhaustively explore the known phase space of possible implementations. Novelty in database implementations is usually predicated on a material computer science advance at the architectural level; any rearrangement of existing parts and ideas has usually already been tried multiple times.

There are many good ideas for databases that no one implements because we don't know how to make them fast enough. People care greatly about database performance and scalability. You can implement almost any database feature you can imagine if you don't care about performance and scalability, you just won't have any users.
Free beer was always implied. There's nothing in OSS licenses that prevents people charging for OSS software. But also absolutely nothing whatsoever that encourages that or requires people to honor such a commitment. Kind of the whole point.

It's very easy to undercut 8.99. Just compile the binary once and distribute it via any of a wide variety of download services. The marginal cost of that is close to zero when amortized over lots of users. So close that it might as well be zero.

"important for everyone in FOSS to charge Apple owners"

OK, thanks for making my point for me.
Probably because like most of the other features they mention they are doing extensive data collection.
More smiles and feelings! Thanks for contributing to the solution of this mornings problem :)
The garage-stored car will be a bag of shite, though. You'd be far better going for the delivery vehicle.
What have you tried? What has your experience been when applying to these types of roles? It costs little to find out. Additionally, I would steer away from considering your job title as your career track. You are capable of learning, growing, and changing so you shouldn't be confined by some arbitrary classification of your skills.

That said, if you are interested in that particular skillset, there is nothing stopping you from going down the path of learning.
well I tried it yesterday and the img2img just says "not yet". has anything changed?

Interesting!

Do you have numbers for code size and memory usage perhaps?
I think I very much understand the hate this article is getting, and perhaps it's a thing endemic to the entire concept of "investment."

People around here like "solving problems," and I'd go further to say that this is perhaps the most fulfilling thing one can do.

VC doesn't do that. VC is "just greed." This is not to say that VC's can't invest in companies that solve things. If they do, great. But what's perhaps irksome is, here we are watching money try to chase more money, and whether or not a problem is solved is irrelevant.

For those of us who have actually solved problems by means of a business -- watching this particular flavor of a mistake by wealthy (or wanna-be-wealth) people e.g. "oh, I wouldn't buy the product myself" is just annoying.

To those of us that solve problems -- we're now hearing about obviously just a complete f**ing idiot chasing money -- and worse, a space that still might give to him despite this.

I understand that this it just how it is sometimes, but I'm not surprised that this catches backlash.

In DPRK there is only one choice on the ballot that you can optionally cross out to disapprove. That doesn't happen often or at all; I suppose they'd know who does it based on the time it takes to vote.

Not to mention the fact that selecting icons from your taskbar isn't even the most efficient way of switching windows, which would be win+number or alt+tab.

Not sure that's true in the setup under discussion: win+# requires figuring out which number to press - and if the count is wrong, I mind even end up on an entirely different desktop via some apps I keep pinned on the taskbar. And at the very least subjectively, alt-tab feels rather jarring and requires some mental re-adjustment before I find the proper window to click.
Self-identified seems more fitting?

This is exciting! Not only does it give a chance to breathe new life into old games, but it's an excellent example of how communities can create value, both for the user and for the sponsor (Nvidia in this case).
Arguably this is still fine with the definition of lossy compression. The compressed image still roughly shows the idea of the original image.
1. You're using "no privacy" to mean both "overheard by the grandma in the next row" and "recorded by a centralized mass surveillance system to be analyzed and correlated with the millions of other data points it has on your and your social circle, wholly subservient to the ever-changing will of the state".

So are the courts. By some twisted logic, they concluded that because you can't expect that a random passer-by hears you, you have no reasonable expectation that everywhere in public isn't infested with microphones and cameras uploading everything to intelligence agencies or corporate headquarters.

2. We should be careful, as ever more spaces are becoming "private, open to the public". Perhaps most notably the parks in Wall Street. Soon we may have to travel out of city bounds for any meaningful privacy, if that isn't already the case.

According to: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/which-browser-invented-tabs-3-...
this is why fair competition is so important in markets (not "free"). it's literally what makes markets efficient, not omnicient capitalists, as they'd love for you to believe. the market works because mistakes become directly apparent in the catchall metric that is price (and its derivatives, revenue and profit).
Btw - I genuinely believe that there are applications of blockchains that would improve governance in the real world. Most notably, blockchains as a public ledger tracking the actual ownership of publicly traded stocks and other financial instruments would be a really good idea, as it would enable the verify part of "trust, but verify". Sadly, this is not the application that has captured mainstream attention as of yet.
To be fair (pedantic? devil's advocate?) Samsung ships all their phones with the Samsung store as well. I suspect there's a few other bit names that do similar. A great many Android users have alternative stores, some some probably use them without knowing the difference as well.

To be honest, I doubt many of them care, given all they want is apps from a trusted source, and most people probably trust Samsung if they are buying Samsung phones with specialized Android builds made by Samsung, if they even know the difference.
If this was along the lines of buying a prefab for 50k, hell yeah, amazing. I'd drop one in a large yard for my kid to have her own apartment, or rent it out for cheap given the area.

At 400k... Man that's a lot. Can't justify it for any reason unless I have cash to burn.

> Maybe things have changed but when I graduated undergrad CS in 2017 the extent of frontend being taught in my school by professors was "hand write some HTML, maybe some PHP if you're lucky"

Here's a secret nobody told you: You don't need to learn frontend specifics. All the same lessons from business software engineering apply.

I not-graduated comp sci in 2012 and have been building webapps since before jQuery was cool. It's nothing special. The biggest problems are always the same: data and domain modeling, managing complexity, teamwork, and state consistency.

If your comp sci degree didn't teach you how to apply solutions to those problems in any context – frontend, backend, iOS, firmware, desktop app, Android, or data pipeline – then it was a worthless degree and you should get your money back. The point of comp sci is to learn about the ideas behind the scenes, not about specific frameworks.
Took us about a quarter heads down to do the conversion which involved quite a bit of rewriting. We had been prepping and planning for the work pretty much since they first teased MV3 in 2018.

Now we are figuring out the right way to flip the switch. You get stuck in the long review queue every time you flip manifest versions, cuz your permissions list has likely changed.

Google's rollout has been the absolute worst; but hey, as you say, everyone who can't eat a bowl of shit and keep on smiling will simply disappear from the competitive landscape.
Sure. I have no doubt DriveSavers can get data from a drive that has suffered a head crash. I don't believe anyone can recover data from a drive that has been shredded. But I wonder where a drive that has been drilled fits on that spectrum.

Seems very cool. Honestly, the biggest selling point for me would be the historic data.
Having a place to check in and to look at from time to time would be great. It would allow to evaluate progress, direction, etc.
Looking for something like this for some time!
Again the innuendo. You are agreeing that they are behaving in a sustainable, future-oriented, sustainable, humane way, but presenting this as if it’s not actually true.

The fact that China hasn’t improved on human rights the way everyone expected them to do over the last two decades is indeed a problem for Apple, and everyone else who does business there, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are in fact making their phones more repairable, which is beneficial to the environment and consumers in reality, and not just in appearance.
The fall of the government in Kabul. I'm not saying this is the single causal event, but lower than 10% voting definitely contributed to a lack of legitimacy of the central govt leading to its fall.

We use ScaNN for a large scale/performant neural search. Otherwise this all feels bloated.
What if an attacker creates altered data and publishes it the same way by hashing it 50 times. Now you have two documents claiming to be the original and they each have 50 hashes guaranteeing the integrity of the data. What if the attacker did that with 1,000 fake documents.

I think your best bet is just to publish it and also launch a copy into space with a 500 year orbit. If someone in the future tries to launch a similar data-comet with a shorter orbit, it will be visible in the trajectory. There's always the danger of them sending out a robotic space probe to mess with your data "in flight".
not true - the "nervous" feel is because people also tend to ride cyclocross bikes that are shorter (top tube length). There is no reason a cyclocross bike cannot be designed with the higher bottom bracket AND a longer top tube - I never understood why the frames were designed like this in the first place (maybe for weight savings?)

WDDM is the best GPU driver model by far. Aero snap is the best implementation of window snapping. DWM is a good compositor. Those are really the only things I can name that I prefer over Linux these days.
Thanks for the feedback! Curious to hear your thoughts after trying it out
AFAICT, these range from $84-$170/sq ft for exterior materials only, no labor, no insulation, no foundation. If you're looking to DIY something and want an easy start, these and many other options may be a good choice for you, but this is very expensive for some markets, given you just have materials for the shell.

Generally speaking, it's best to think in "heated + cooled sq feet" for comparison, and also consider the foundation type. These are post-frame, so in the market where I had built, $120/sqft for post-frame is "cheap/budget", and $300/sqft is "high-end". We paid $180/sq ft, and that included electrical work, plumbing, appliances, A/C, full custom cabinets, custom windows, etc. As you can see, these aren't a great deal in that regard, but your local market conditions may vary.
Much better efficiency - sure, if you don't believe in ghost cities and ignore the real estate hyper-bubble (which is certain to come crashing down).
So what happens when your ID gets hacked and reused for fraudulent activity?

Would you have to submit a dispute with the internet credit agencies? Maybe join a class action suit against the entity that leaked your ID so that they're forced to give you a year of free internet identity monitoring?
I assume the poster meant aerodynamic optimisation of the bike itself (eg. aero wheels, aero saddle post, etc).

Riding position obviously makes a huge difference.
Just realized, what if the market is illegal ADUs - you can quietly build a foundation perhaps, and then get this dropped in in a day and that's much less likely to be noticed by nosy passers-by and city officials than a whole construction site for months on end.
There is one issue with your argument here, an increasingly relevant one in contemporary times. You are implying that since one choice can be shown to be provably bad, it must therefore be the case that another is better by default.

But this assumes that there are good choices, and that there are bad choices. Reality, unfortunately, is often not so kind, and instead leaves us to choose only between bad choices and horrible ones. And so emphasizing the flaws of one choice, says very little about the desirability of an alternative.

In some ways I think game theory is most appropriate for chaotic systems. The goal is not to pick the system that works the best, under some ideal set of criteria, but the one that works the least-worst under the most hostile set of criteria.
I've seen 30-60 seconds for M1 / M1 Pro. Is that what you mean by a few seconds?
Not NVidia, Intel. Intel has been unable to do a die shrink for years because they own their own fabs instead of using TSMC, GlobalFoundries, or Samsung to actually produce their chips. The new 4090s are supposed to be about 2x performance of a 3090 with the same power draw because of the smaller process (5nm TSMC vs 8nm Samsung).
While it seemingly can do wonders for the textures/assets, there is still the problem with the wooden animations of older games. I know at least one person that can't overlook them, he would be finde with less fidelity in total, but wooden animation breaks the game for him.
Build out the overview with some case studies. If I am a first time cloud builder at the 'what should I use...' stage - which seems to be a target market for you - then I don't know what I don't know.

Right now your marketing speaks to people who have already implemented something across multiple different platforms - but having learned all that they're probably more willing to accept the marginal cost of maintenance than to abandon the time and effort already invested in setting it all up.

Building from scratch is a much easier and more pleasant decision than migrating. So you'll gain more users from people who want an accessible infrastructure experience that can grow with their (presently unknown) needs than with grizzled veterans - who might prefer just demanding a larger budget or more hires for infrastructure on a future project than learning a new technology that will render their previous knowledge obsolete.

Your short intro video kind of addresses this, but shows your example developer deploying her app and then 5 different infrastructure platforms with zero effort - she doesn't care about the problem until it comes to the boring maintenance stage. A lot of people would take away that the market leading technologies are super-easy to deploy and that they can just hire someone to do the maintenance while they focus on product or the business side. (Also, the music doesn't match the visual story at all and feels cringey - again, not the emotional impression you want to create.)

In general, people will go with whatever the default tool is because it's socially proven and there will be a big community of prior users who can help them through the teething problems. And there's a sense that the right tool for the right job is usually better than a do-everything tool. So you need to show where the pain points are early in the process of cloud deployment - when your target user is figuring out what infrastructure they need, and why.
Does it work as well as in Win10 with multiple monitors in different orientations? My expectation is since it's not supported there will be weird quirks and bugs.
I think he's including fat bikes in that ranking, actually competitive gravel bikes are not heavy at all. I know the Allied Able and Echo have won some races and although it comes with slightly heavier tires it's not too far off from a road bike https://alliedcycleworks.com/collections/able https://alliedcycleworks.com/collections/echo

> In my access logs, they attempted to download all user records at once. This caused an error and no output was returned. I shut everything off soon after. If they scraped information through some other mechanism, I cannot say with any confidence either way.

Anyone with a large phpbb/vbulletin/xenforo install can tell you that the built-in GUI tools fail with even modest userbases. They just run mysql queries in a php request and hit the php.ini timeout, so you have to use CLI tools.

If all the attacker had access to was the forum front-end (rather than the machine) and they weren't particularly prepared, it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't achieve anything.
The budget goes up linearly by person but the cost behaves differently because you don't have to add the same amount of gear for each person.
Another upvote for ScaNN. Used on Teclis.com search engine in production (replaced previously used Faiss, which was excellent). ScaNN is almost double the performance and with same 5 lines of code to implement locally.

At this point vector search is almost 'solved', the challenge remains the quality of vectors fed into the index. Producing accurate text/image/... vector representations (aka embeddings) is where lot more progress needs to be made.
