The typical case is that I'm testing with client code on my desktop that expects to talk to some particular server, such as db.work.com, on some particular port, say 3306. I don't want to run the client in a VM or container.

I want to run a test version of that server on a VM or in a container, and have that client connect to it, but I do not want to modify the client.

So I want to make an /etc/hosts entry for db.work.com giving the IP address of the VM or container that I'm running the test server in.

That works great with VMWare Fusion. The VM gets an IP address on my Mac, and I use that in the /etc/hosts entry.

That would also work great if I were running Linux instead of Mac OS, because Docker containers on Linux get IP addresses that are visible. I'd just have to put the container IP on the db.work.com /etc/hosts entry.

On Mac Docker runs a Linux VM and then the containers run in that. They don't have IP addresses that are visible to the Mac. For a lot of things that is fine. With the -p argument you can arrange to have a localhost port mapped to some port on the container.

But in my case that doesn't quite cut it. The client wants to connect to port 3306. I can't just map localhost:3306 to the container and put db.work.com in /etc/hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1 because I've already got something on 127.0.0.1 that is using 3306.

Hence Wireguard so that I can have an IP address for the container that is visible on the Mac.
So somebody else can scrape a little rent off the top?

Or it might just mean less stuff gets done.

My company’s had enough turnover without adequate replacement lately that pretty much everything that isn’t high-priority maintenance now just gets backlogged.
Nope, not really. Not so long ago horse manure on the streets was a real problem. Do we remember those who decided to sit at home and never travel? Nope, we remember Henry Ford for making automobiles a mass product. Similar with bubonic plague vs. hygiene. Similar with bacterial illnesses vs. penicillin.

Every single example of a positive societal change benefited the person behind it. Martyrship, on the other hand, is the cornerstone of religious cults and third-world countries. A stable system where everyone suffers in the name of abstract greater good, while the handful of elites reaps the profits. Don't go that way, it sucks.
On Android, the last frame of the ad that played before the video became glitched and stayed on screen. I could see some of the video "behind" the video box, however, it was tall instead of wide.

Not unless you're considered a flight risk or a danger to the community. People usually sell their house, car, cancel utilities, say goodbyes, etc. It's pretty sad to be honest (not saying that most of it isn't deserved).
When it all comes together it's kind of a nightmare for an ASR model. There were plenty of times in reviewing the recordings and ASR output where I'd listen to the audio and have no idea what they said.

I'm not sure which contributes most but I know from my prior experiences with ASR for telephony even clean speech on pristine connections does much worse with models trained on 16 kHz being fed native 8 kHz audio that gets resampled.

I've done some early work with Whisper in the telephony domain (transcribing voicemails on Asterisk and Freeswitch) and the accuracy already seems to be quite a bit worse.
Background info: Ver.di is one of Germany‘s biggest most influential unions. They published this article.
I am not sure I want it to be this, but back when I worked on software for airports, there was a concept of a Target Startup Approval Time (TSAT). This is the moment an aircraft is expected to power up in preparation to roll back and taxi to the runway before taking off. I worked with some clever statisticians who were focused on optimizing this exact moment. That calculation has hopefully contributed to reducing more pollution than anything else I could conceivably do in my lifetime.

That's incredibly boring though, and I work in sport now. The most _emotionally_ impactful achievement is the first soccer player signed based on my statistical models. He helped win his club their first title in a decade, got his first international callup, and won his country their continental cup (he also made his club a lot of profit when they sold him and my sell-on percentage never materialised).
I see this argument a lot. FTX people donated almost the same amount(a bit less) to Republican politicians. Same mode of operation many big tech orgs use.

It is amazing how much you can do with code when you only have minimal knowledge and the desire to make something work, before having ideas of "how it should be done" or "how to do it right"
Doing what? Blocking those domains?
Deterrence is a long accepted part of sentencing in the US. You might not like it, clearly how punishment works.

Get a fine for speeding or littering and it will have no relation to the damage you did.

That's what vendors will tell you but customers get visits from customs all the time. And in that unfortunate case you'll get charged with contraband plus everything they'll get on you on top of that. You probably won't have proper opsec and your house will be searched and electronics will be confiscated, plus there will be some surveillance prior to that. I'm not talking specifically about spores here, more about general onion shopping. Its easy to get in the mindset that nobody cares about a user but if you get unlucky your life will take quite a hit.
for a very long portion of their lives, they will be known as "the kids of the woman who defrauded investors of hundreds of millions and sold dangerously dodgy medical equipment"

so maybe that?
What bothers me about the lenient sentencing is because of my assumption of how easy it will be to get out even earlier due to “good behavior”. She’ll probably get out somewhere between 3-8 years in. This is probably also why she has had two pregnancies while awaiting sentencing. One was probably to try and get a reduced sentence, and the other is to have a reason to be let out early. I understand she is nearing 40, but I personally find it irresponsible to have kids literally right before you go to prison.
Cocaine addict may be behind long hours for medical doctors: "Fledgling residents had to suffer long, consecutive work shifts, day and night. To Halsted, sleep was a dispensable luxury that detracted from the ability to work and learn. Halsted’s mentality was difficult to argue with, since he himself practiced what he preached, being renowned for a seemingly superhuman ability to stay awake for apparently days on end without any fatigue.
Only after Halsted’s death did a secret come to light that explained
the maniacal structure of his residency program and his ability to forgo sleep. Halsted was a cocaine addict" https://medicaljustice.com/a-century-of-brutal-call-schedule...
I used to work for Twitch and built the Custom Live notifications for streamers. It was a relatively straightforward change where we just changed the payload of what the streamers wanted the iOS, Android, email notifications to show. There were some behind-the-scenes work where there is actually a language/curse word check and decisions on if we needed to translate the copy to the receivers local language.

The measurable change was a 30-60% increase in the notification CTR and resulted in hundreds of millions of incremental hours watched.
I'd insert that one quote from Billy Madison here, but your comment is not even worth the copy+paste effort.

Europe wise, probably because cars weren’t mass produced until 1910, and weren’t well developed until post WW1 - let alone comfortable, reliable, etc.

WW2 changed that. However in Europe, the industrial base was bombed out, and most of the economy was directing it’s energy towards rebuilding - and even then the density in Europe and existing buildings and housing stock (even with things bombed to smithereens) didn’t support the type of wide open projects and free space the US enjoyed then and often now.

The population in Western Europe in 1950 was 142 million. The population today is approx. 191 million, or about 35% growth, even after that terrible war.

Europe couldn’t do what the US did because it was already too dense, and at the time, too poor.

The United States population in 1950 was 151 million. The population is now 332 million.

In 1950, not only did the US have a fully intact industrial base and economy, it had essentially the only one left in the world. So it could and did pursue aggressive expansion and growth, and adopt new technologies which supported it and worked well at the time. Even with more than a doubling in population in that time, it still mostly works - if we ignore wider environmental impacts, of course.

And still outside of the few areas with dense inner cities, it really makes no sense to try to use public transit - there is no public!

As far as NZ goes, I don’t know enough about them to comment one way or another.

Yeah I was paying $100/month for transcription services and turns out Whisper with the large model was much more accurate, and I didn't like the UI, I much prefer to just use this app as opposed to the paid service, and I chose it because it was the cheapest by far ($100/30h) as opposed to most of the other paid services which were $10 an hour which to me was a bit much really. But Whisper is really a game changer I don't know how those companies stay in business really.
I think that there should be a small algorithm specific for everyone, instead of the great algorithm. Possibly with the ability of grouping your follows into channels, each channel with a small algorithm built on your previous interactions with the channel.
Speaker recognition is another piece that isn't usually as high a priority as recognizing the speech.
Less about their feature support and more on their e-mail fundamentals. While they support SPF and DKIM, it seems that MTA-STS support is quite unofficial (unlike Microsoft for example where it's fully supported https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/e...).
OK, so what about Sam Bankman-Fried, will he be sued and sentenced too? when you mess up billions of dollars can you get out untouched in the end?
Again... in many contexts, yes I appreciate the detail. I'm not saying engineer-to-manager or engineer-to-engineer communication should also be terse.

But some people struggle to collect their thoughts clearly, and struggle to articulate simple answers to even the simplest of questions. I have seen this, and seen how detrimental it is to their effectiveness as engineers and teammates. My approach is to actively coach people on my team that I see with poor communication.

And it's a valuable skill that I'm advocating. When an engineer is invited to a VP presentation, and the VP asks "Has this feature launched?", you better believe they don't want a 3-minute ramble of the challenges they faced, or what they'd do differently, or whatever. They want to know: "Has. This. Feature. Shipped?"
For most consumers, 8% of the dollars in your pocket are gone. It means you have less money now than you did a year ago.

Most consumers are currently hurting from inflation.
A better question is whether he's going to listen to those people anymore so than he listened to the engineers.
Besides COTS and CRS contracts, Griffin connected Elon with his early employees (incl Tom Mueller) and gave the reusable rocket idea.

Dwarfing all that in the long term is the missile defense system (Space Development Agency project) that Griffin started in 2019.

What was the performance, resource usage, etc of doing this with large? What's the speed like?

I'm still getting spun up on this but base delivers a pretty impressive 5-20x realtime on my RTX 3090. I haven't gotten around to trying the larger models and with only 24GB of VRAM I'm not sure what kind of success I'll have anyway...

In my case the goal was to actually generate tweets based on XYZ. As I've already said there were serious technical challenges so I abandoned the project but I was also a little concerned about the privacy, safety, etc issues of realtime or near-realtime reporting on public safety activity. I also streamed to broadcastify and it really seems like they insert artificial delay because of these concerns.
I agree you don't want to stretch the cultural too far, or you will end up essentializing people. There is obviously a lot of diversity within each culture. You don't want to treat people just based on their culture: it would be morally repugnant. But in my experience at least, ignoring the culture will cause a lot of issues as well.
I love the feel of going straight from 2-4 on a car with a really tight shifting pattern. Used to drive my dad’s MGB a lot and boy was that car technically a mess, but the shift from 2-4 on an open country road was magic. As long as you didn’t think too much about the missing 5th gear, the useless seatbelts, or the reverse lights that only came on when they felt like it.
I architected and led the team that delivered the Covid vaccine system for a US state government. Hitting that perpetual moving target and deadline was the hardest thing I’ve done so far. It had a lot of technical impact on that state’s department of health, lots of kudos from healthcare professionals and regular people plus won awards from the governor and secretary of health.
It's not the stick I want, it's the clutch. My car can be put from automatic to a manual mode, it's a gimmick.

Unfortunately it will take a lot more than Waymo to solve the problems you mentioned.

It will take enforcing laws, arresting criminals, and offering drug/mental health treatment as an alternative to jail, while at the same time providing housing conditional on employment and good behavior. Nothing short of this will solve our crime, addiction, and homelessness problems in a humane way.
It seems odd to me that they decision was to not solve it this way, but not how it will be solved going forward. Like, doesn't that effectively make everything more complicated/difficult?
Thanks! I wrote it for myself over a weekend and have really enjoyed it ever since I'm glad others were able to get something out of it! It seems to run pretty well but I have some improvements planned, first is I will take the whisper output and feed it to you when you're in the queue so you can see them progressing. Will be pretty trivial to implement but I am feeling bored in the queue at the site atm so that is the next killer feature lol

Any motivated, highly skilled engineers that's worked on long running global software systems will tell you that maintaining systems is hard, and coldbooting a system is even harder.

What was your app build with if you dont mind me asking
Well this headline is equally comforting and terrifying.
This is a brilliant idea, and terrifying experiment, in finding out what people were harbouring to their deaths, and how they wanted to project back into the future some material change. Most of it will be to cause harm, and some of it will be so beautiful as to make tolerating the human smallness of the rest of it worthwhile, or so I'd venture.
Because the former Twitter engineers who literally built it have said so. And I've personally worked on a few "web-scale" apps before and I believe them.

No system I've ever seen is 100% automated. Especially for occasional tasks eg. hot patching emergency security fixes or refreshing expired internal certificates.
Link is to a a Stossel TV segment which right out of the gate misrepresents the problem. They cite some staggering numbers about how many batteries you'd need to match "the energy Europe has in storage right now" failing to note that those are petroleum reserves stored for geopolitical insurance, not to buffer instantaneous shortfalls in electricity generation. Those reserves are designed to be many months of use; no one thinks you need that for grid buffering, where a few days is plenty.

And in any case that oil is going to be used for vehicle fuel, where the linked article is talking about electrical grid generation. No one thinks we're going to be off of fossil fueled vehicles in a decade, though it's definitely possible to reduce the net usage by a ton.

Sorry, that's just a terribly spun video segment. What the linked article claims is absolutely doable.
>> You conveniently redefined what most anyone would consider not a hard drug as a hard drug to make your point.

That's because alcohol use has been normalized for a very long time.

There's no redefinition happening, you are just comparing a 'normalized' view of alcohol to one that is more realistic about it.

Alcohol positively destroys some people and most of them lost the ability to have any self control over it at some point.
I'd use shell scripts... Bash is the only way to ensure stability and backwards compatibly so that aliens can see the "public (yet commercially private) town square".
Read the book Bad Blood and watch the series The Dropout for a fairly complete picture of the whole saga.

The Dropout https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10166622/

After that, 10 mins of Alex Gibney's doco The Inventor will likely be enough, just to see and hear the creepy reality.

> Was this even in the realm of possibility?

Apparently not even in the realm of possibility. It seems she had a vision of herself as a genius who changed the world, and lived in that bubble. Still does, it seems.

Even after reading Bad Blood, the series really shows you how it looked, how such a thing was even possible, and went on for so many years. It's such a crazy story. I do feel sorry for Sonny though.

"SpaceX also designs and launches custom military satellites for the Space Development Agency as part of a new missile defense system in low Earth orbit. The constellation would give the United States new capabilities to sense, target and potentially intercept nuclear missiles and hypersonic weapons launched from anywhere on Earth. Both China and Russia brought concerns to the United Nations about the program, and various organizations warn it could be destabilizing and trigger an arms race in space."

Ability? 5M/day for "what's my ip" is not much, and I'd wager most of us on this site would be able to keep it up and alive just fine. As for incentive... in addition to the Mozilla Foundation, orgs like Calyx, NLNet, Quad9 come to mind.
Please tell me you're legally allowed to talk more about Megaupload and the work you did - sounds like an absolutely amazing blog post, would love to hear as much as you're able to discuss.

Also, I have a project in production at work where a device needs to grab its public IP address. My code has a list of sites that provide that info and I have ip4.me as a fallback in that list, so thank you for building it!
Maybe in the USA in 2022 this is weird, but in many cultures, taking care of your parents after they took care of you is just normal, commonplace, expected, assumed. Like, the natural circle of life.
I'm careful about formulating an opinion on the topic, because I still don't understand what "deboosted" will mean in practice, but I don't think your evaluation of the situation is fair. I'm pretty close to an "antifan" of Musk, but I don't really think he is a fool, and I don't think it is news to him. Maybe the public believed he meant "an absolute freedom of speech" (did they? lol), but I don't think he was really meaning it at any point.

After all, he knows that revenue comes from ads, and those who pay for ads have some power to influence the rules. It's not like Twitter is totalitarian just because Dorsey is a totalitarian guy by nature. It even seems that he kinda isn't. It's just the fact, that there are other powers that at certain level start being far more influential, than the CEOs opinion. And these powers tend to be quite totalitarian.

Musk it just a populist. Not living up to his promises isn't a sign of short-sightedness. In fact, it seems to be working great for him so far. Not sure if it will with Twitter, but it did, and still does with Tesla, FWIW.
