> I can HERPaDERP install packages on client and server, and copypasta configs I don’t understand. Where do I go to understand?

Other commenters have a good bunch of resources on what to do, but if you're really interested in understanding the fundamentals imo there's no better way than to RTFM. Sometimes the manual will have things you don't understand, and then you'll have to google that thing.

For networking I highly recommend the RHEL docs (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...). There's a big chunk that's useless to you (infiniband, etc), but the basics of the TCP/IP stack is really good to know. It looks like ubuntu has some introductory material too at (https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/network-introduction) with links to more in-depth resources.

For the rest of linux, again I highly recommend the redhat docs here https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp.... They're very will written and comprehensive, so feel free to skip all the stuff that you don't care about (printers, SElinux, etc).
Maybe change to a company that provide an office/hybrid?
_elaborate_ being the keyword here. Taking notes is not the same thing as constructing a zettelkasten system with which to take notes.
I guess, sure? It doesn't mean that there aren't (or are, for that matter) huge perf or efficiency gains left on the table. SD is certainly intense enough that small optimizations do add up quite significantly.

Plus I'm pretty sure if I go peak at CUDA, it ain't python anyway.
A week in the life of a GreyNoise Sensor: The benign view
Yeah, the cutoff points for any rule of thumb are going to be fairly arbitrary. I don't understand why people are treating this like a profound observation.
When I do plumbing it's both creative and very stimulating; at least to the senses.

Details, anyone? What kind of current are we talking about? How long did the field last? Was anything interesting placed in the field, and did something interesting happen to it?
My receiver only has 7 channels or I would totally do 7.1.4 :) One day.
Ok in this case it did not make him more productive...
Exactly. It was this theory that allowed the West to trade with Russia regardless of her human rights abuses, but it still didn’t deter a pointlessly costly war.
How does the Russo-Ukrainian War end?
The only constant in life is change. There is no guarantee of stability or order in life, despite the human desire to carve it out where it doesn't exist. You can either embrace that change, or fight against it.

Embracing the change means learning the new tools and adapting your job around them. Fighting against it means lobbying the government to create protectionist laws for your industry to prevent new technology from disrupting you.

The former is easier if you are more flexible and open minded. The latter is easier if you have a lot of money and are well connected. Neither is inherently easy, which is why most of us just complain instead.
That has not been my experience in university, it also makes me sad that you assume my question is in bad faith

This was one argument the corrupt politicians used to justify their actions.

Ask HN: What's a good basic online REPL other than Repl.it?
I used to love repl.it for throwing together quick ideas (code "sketching" as I call it), providing example code to users, etc. But over the years they've "expanded" the platform so much that nowadays you can't even use a REPL without first signing up/logging in and then waiting ~20s for a REPL to load. The wide language support is what pulled me into repl.it, as well as support for each language's package manager.

These roadblocks knock me out of my "flow" and I've resorted just using a .sketch/ directory with various language entry points with an easy way to run each of them when needed. But I miss the shareability that repl.it had.

What's a good, simple alternative to repl.it these days?
Hyperinflation happens only when you've already got economic decay -- in fact, economic collapse. Hyperinflation is the symptom, not the cause.

Hyperinflation isn't numbers like 10% annual inflation, which are extreme events in functioning economies. Some definitions put it at more like 10,000%. That's not caused by central bank manipulation. That's caused by a complete collapse of the economy. The central bank can try to deal with that by printing almost-valueless currency as an IOU, but that's the result, not the cause.

That's often caused by war, though it's sometimes caused by massive mismanagement of resources. It's not really relevant to the kinds of situations being discussed in the article, which are functioning economies (as long as they can keep from going to war on each other).
We're getting off-topic. I never said it was a bug. What it is, it is. Regardless, some obviously lack self-control to a fault. And regardless of the feature, that doesn't give anyone a free pass on accountability.

I have no problem with greed per se. I also have no problem with those who want to lead. But with those decisions comes responsibility and accountability. Bug? Feature? Not my concern. I'm simply not willing to give out free passes either way.
As an avid note-taker, I don't think any of this is un-true. I'll just say for myself I do it because I find note-taking genuinely enjoyable and meditative. I agree that if you're trying to optimize the professional "ROI" of note-taking you'll find the returns fade away pretty quickly. But I do it because it's fun, not because of the supposed ROI.
I removed Scala from mine.
You realize that it is fairly easy to create false ID's right? There are services that do that for you with minimal fuss.

> When everyone has 2FA, 2FA backup keys become kind of impractical in the same way it becomes impractical to remember all your passwords.

This statement makes absolutely no sense. If you can't remember your passwords (and even if you can) you should use a password manager. The same can also hold your recovery keys. I also have a printed copy of the recovery codes in a file as well.
those USA records are huge sources for local law enforcement, credit card companies, anyone in consumer credit, private detectives, insurance industry and more.. anyone with property is being tracked since the 1960s at least. You just didnt get the memo.
Energy is about to become 10× cheaper, thanks to the rapidly advancing state of PV, wind turbines, and batteries. There is no problem of waste heat with these.

Some obvious things: carbon capture and storage, synthesis of plastics from air-captured carbon, large-scale desalination.

We'll know at least some other new applications in 2070 - 2090. One possibility is direct synthesis of carbohydrates and amino acids from the air.
Any article that pretends to know what the right way of taking notes (say, "This is known as a commonplace book, and it is about how detailed your note-taking system should be unless you plan on thinking more elaborately than Leonardo da Vinci." in this article) is missing the point.

People think differently, people have different purposes and goals, people have different constraints on their time, their memory, their field. Can you procrastinate on note-taking? Sure. So can you on writing, and publishing, and building an audience, and writing papers, and doing the dishes.

Can people have a fantastic creative output by just opening a blank page and jotting down their thoughts? Sure. Can other people write great books with an elaborate notetaking system? Of course. There are plenty of people out there with terrific, obsessive note-taking and reference systems, Kubrick being one of the prime examples.

As someone with what looks from the outside to be an overarchitected note-taking system ( https://publish.obsidian.md/manuel ), it is a system that works great for me, and it is a system that makes me more creative and helps me discover ideas I would have never been able to articulate without. I used linear sketchbooks where I would write and draw whatever for years, filling hundreds of notebooks, and it came nowhere near my obsidian setup in terms of output and effectiveness.
> It is frankly challenging to come up with even a single case where you should not do it this way

One use case for human readable format: your service/whatever that output logs doesn't output TBs of output every month and you can easily handle the amount on commodity hardware. Why complicate something that doesn't need it?

Both methods have their place.
India sent out vaccines to 70 countries even as she herself was suffering in the crisis.

Millions of does were given out for free to the most vulnerable and poorest countries.

We were all witness to what was happening in the "wealthy liberal world" .....

You can label it what you want, but the world is much better off with India.
Very light response but it's something.
a11y for accessibility also (and perhaps "ally" too?), but is a bit ironic given that screen readers wouldn't be making much sense out of that one.
>But that's not what's happening. You can't "crack open" a model to find the bitmap of a piece of training data. It's not there any more than a painting you've seen is "in" your brain. A model sometimes creates things that look similar to existing pieces if it got a ton of copies of the same image, for the same reason that most people's artistic rendition of a tree is going to be more accurate than their rendition of an anteater.

In other words, a technology that has never existed before and doesn't follow any of the categories and schemas we dreamt up to organize the world. So we need to make new rules.
"Engineer" usage is quite broad. Developer, less so, but you do see it with housing, device manufacturers, social programs, etc as well, and it's not relegated only to software, despite widespread usage. But you'll never hear anyone call a software engineer or device manufacturer a "creative".

Re: cheaper vs ROI, I agree, that was basically the point I was trying to get across.

I do understand your point and think it will be a long while before auto-generated content becomes mainstream, but it it's entirely possible and reasonable to expect within our near term lifetimes.
I am not an ad person, but to me they always contain a specific subject (thing, place, etc). If you are making an ad for widget XJ900, you don't want it to actually show the XK800. What's harder, trying to prompt the AI into generating content on your specific subject, or just modeling/filming the subject with current methods? Which is harder to incorporate client feedback? So far, slight tweaks in prompts can produce radically difficult results. Paint back can help, but we'll see.

I have yet to see a stable diffusion output that is high quality work. They often lack any compositional sense, and all the lines are weirdly wavy. It's like someone trying to do realism but with the motor skills and spatial awareness of a toddler. The picture that won the state fair awards looked really terrible on further inspection. Basic composition elements like the horizon line or the giant circle in the middle were all skewed, and not in an attractive way. Any elements beyond the central figures are just noise. I see that story as more about bad judging than anything else.

Stable diffusion has its own version of uncanny valley, and it may be a long time before we can cross it. The people who decree stable diffusion as the death of human art don't often to have a firm grasp on artistic or design fundamentals.

American agriculture is entirely dependent on petroleum, of which the US imports millions of barrels a day.

Inland farmers require foreign oil as an input to the caloric production you describe, which means that to survive they need the ports and pipelines of North America as well as the cooperation of oil-rich nations.
First, that isn't a claim of any kind regarding responsible use. If a child is the first one to discover a gun in the woods, that is no kind of claim that the child will use the gun responsibly. Second, Google's invention builds off of public research that was made available to them. They just choose to keep their iterations private.
pg_partman is awesome. The SQL syntax for partitioning isn't dissimilar to your example (since PG11?), but like you say, it's the automatic creation and cleanup of partitions that's it's missing. pg_partman used to have to do a lot more things, but nowadays you can just have it do the job of creating X future partitions for you at a given interval, and truncating partitions older than retention period Y.

It's a great extension. We have used it in production for a few years now, as part of a commercial on-prem observability tool (an app that keeps around 1TB of data at any one time, written at avg 15mb/sec, maybe 500ish partitions, user configurable retention strategy). It is extremely reliable. Support for Keith F working on it is one of the reasons I like Crunchy.

The AtariAge results are fairly out-of-date; I think that's even before we started doing whole-program zero-page allocation.

The only real 6502-specific C caveat left for llvm-mos is that you should strongly prefer structs of arrays to arrays of structs; and that's not even that 6502-specific. Otherwise, standard C gives fairly tight assembly.

That being said, every couple hundred lines of generated assembly for any reasonably-sized C program will contain at least one WTF, from a human point of view. Removing those WTFs one at a time is the long tail of a compiler engineer. Still, I'm not going anywhere!

I've been journalling computer ideas out in the open since 2013 using GitHub as README.md files.

I create a new GitHub repository when I get to 100-300 entries. I number the entries with markdown headings and a title that captures the thought.

The reason I create a new repository is that I try only announce my idea repositories when they're complete. I want people to come back and not miss entries I add throughout the week.

I am up to 450+ entries purely by writing whatever idea comes to mind. I do not have a process. I add to the end of the journal.

Why do I recommend this approach? The journal and notes can be modified on any device that has a web browser since you can use the GitHub web interface on Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.

GitHub has a hidden feature of a table of contents on the top left of the README.md so you can jump to different ideas. GitHub also creates named anchors for markdown headings so you can link between ideas. I do this to refer to previous ideas.

IntelliJ also has a markdown editor so I also use that.

The more you journal and write the more inspiration you shall have. The more you try the more you get. So I strongly recommend my approach, just get something on the page and stop worrying if it shall be perfect. The value comes from writing and rereading and editing your thoughts.

One benefit from using GitHub is that you don't need to learn how to create a post each time you come to write so it can become a habit.

That's really just a formalization and documentation of the way things are named now. I don't think it precludes renaming some things in the long term.
Same is true for the US, but we don't know the limit. It could be 32T or 332T, either way when it gets hit bad things happen.
National security wise better to avoid the risk of nation wide vote hacking by having many separate systems. Yes it increases the likelihood of a successful hacking event, but it decreases expected damage.
> Seeing these quite disparate tasks being tamed under one unlikely roof, we have to ask – what other difficult problems can simply be transcribed into text and asked to an oracular software intelligence? McIlroy must be smiling somewhere.

This quote gave me pause about the entire article. It sounds like they're talking about some long gone philosopher, but according to Wikipedia, Douglas McIlroy, while old, is still kicking [0], and might be able to provide his own impression on the idea that large language models have any relation to the Unix philosophy, without anyone projecting their own beliefs onto him.

I hope they don't stop at small time companies. There should be a credible threat to any, including Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT of removal if they do not fix this problem. It's the only way to see progress.

Good point. I have recovery codes saved for my account so assumed they were also generated when using SMS. SMS as 2FA really never should have been.
It was always good enough, and evolved with the times. C# was under tight control MS for most of that time, thats why Java was widely adopted. You can't make that statement without addressing the history of the two languages
Well if we had built a warehouse full of Hubbles, then launching a duplicate would make a lot of sense, but we didn't and now the cost of making a replacement after all the custom tooling and talent has been lost is just as expensive as the first time around.

Theoretically the idea is you're supposed to elect trustworthy people with good judgment to the positions that sit on the Senate Intelligence Committee and other persons in the US government who approve the budgets of TS/SCI and similar programs....

In reality maybe this doesn't work so well.
This post is completely content-free. You make assertions that these CEOs don't know their hat from their ass, while you offer nothing to the contrary, no evidence or even conjecture or "Well, my cousin's dog told me their company is looking at stepping up hiring for Q4."
When you say "I still have access to the email address in question" - are you signed in to the account somewhere? If yes, you could turn off 2FA in myaccount.google.com as long as you remember the password (which you say you do)

Every provider should be responsible for verifying that their downstream customers are legitimate. If they deliver junk on behalf of their customers, they should get banned. That's how this problem gets solved. Your provider doesn't want to get black-holed, and now has an incentive to make sure your VOIP system is legitimate.
Honestly Webb is way overhyped for what it is. Almost 8 times the mirror area of Hubble, three decades more advanced cameras, placed so far beyond any possible interference and it makes images that are at best twice as good and roughly at the same magnification. That photo of Jupiter was pretty disappointing in comparison.

With only limited yaw control and no articulation of any kind I was frankly surprised that it was able to see DART at all.
Yup. Humans crave human contact. Even introverts do.

I suspect that's the author's point: unless you're doing detailed "real" research work, you probably don't need or even really want the myriad tools optimized for the sorts of structured notetaking and mindmapping and whatnot that such "real" research work entails.

Said point resonates with me quite a bit. It's always inspiring to see people with elaborate Org-mode setups or what have you to maintain every last detail of their lives, and being the disorganized and forgetful hot mess of ADD and possible undiagnosed depression and/or anxiety that I am, it's tempting to think "wow, if I just adopt this complex system with these cool tools then I'll be able to actually get my shit together and not be a complete fuck-up" - and every time I give into that temptation, I learn the hard way that a complex organizational system only really works for those who are already prone to self-organization, and doesn't magically turn chaos into order - and then I'm sad again.
Ahh.. so you want to only sync locally between devices.. or you want it to support your special cloud-protocol so you can run your own cloud-server... . But wouldn't the second part be cheating, not naming it cloud-based?
As programmer (20+ years of experience) with a master degree in engineering, I think I can compare programming with calculus. In general, calculus is continuous, while most of programming is discrete. I dare to say that you can be a very good programmer without knowing derivatives and integrals, which are only at the very basis of calculus. Most formulas used while programming, have already been derived by a physicist or mathematic. Most (99 per cent) of programming paradigms can be fully understood and applied without calculus. I learned about exponential functions, logarithms and for loops way before knowing calculus.
