Bezos is wealthy because Amazon investors want to give him money; they don’t want to give you money, so if you had the Amazon shares they simply wouldn’t be worth anything.

I don't see the relation between the web server and CL. Are you saying these sites are running off CL and would benefit from a certbot port, or were you just joking?
Malcolm Galdwell discussed the trend away from “mainstreaming” and its social impacts on his Revisionist History podcast recently in the episode series beginning with “When Will Met Grace”

Language is a tiny way of encapsulating the vivid imagery humans contain about any given situation. The issue with ML models is they are very specific, a human baby collections 1-2 years worth of visual, auditory, etc data before it begins to use that in a meaningful way.
Every thing a baby does is a reinforcement session and every moment it is training its neural networks. This doesn’t even get into sleep: which is where connections are solidified in an abstract way.

I'm going to have to disagree : if you allow (for instance) a giant like Google Search to operate in your country, you can pretty much say goodbye to competition in the search engine space.
This happened partly because the number of companies making personal computers and basic office software for end users was radically greater than the number that we have today. One PC Magazine cover boasted "PC Labs Tests 55 Word Processors"; another advertised tests of 43 database packages [1].

And no one here who lived through the era – before the mid-1990 – will fail to remember that the number of firms competing to sell personal computers was far greater back then. It seems that we have a lot more concentration of firms in these areas today.

In this case there was a reason. The self driving system determined it was required for safety to stop. It wasn’t just to cause an accident. Had the other drivers been following the law and driving safely, they wouldn’t have crashed.
> People who have crappy jobs also work long hours too and find the work meaningless.

This part of your comment isn't getting nearly the attention it deserves.

Hard work and long hours aren't the reward, they are what let you reward yourself- however you find value or meaning.

Some jobs don't require long hours. Some jobs pay more than others. Sometimes, doing a job can be intrinsically fulfilling. Not every job is all or any of those things, and any one of them may mean tradeoffs to the others.
I presume the actual distribution is highly skewed, so “expect to steal another 10 cars” is likely better said as something like “expect to steal twice as many cars than they have already stolen” plus a clearance rate for a first time offender. Obviously difficult to get reliable information on the true distribution - but perhaps can be predicted by the outlier fat tail?

More simply put: much more than 50% of people that have stolen 1 car will get caught before they have stolen their tenth car, and if someone has stolen a hundred cars then their chances of getting caught before stealing 110 are much less than 50%. Edit: note that my figures don’t match your numbers - they are only examples.
> Concentrating business logic in SQL makes it effectively untestable. Its not easy to "compartmentalize" SQL code such that each individual piece is testable on its own.

What are you talking about? SQL is just as easy to compartmentalize and test as anything else.

Each query statement belongs in a function -- there, compartmentalized. Now set up a table state, run the function, and compare with new table state. The test either passes or fails.

Also no idea why you'd think SQL is a PITA to debug. It's a relatively compact and straightforward language once you learn it, and queries are self-contained. It's generally much easier to debug a query than it is to debug something happening somewhere across 10,000 LOC across 400 functions.
Naw, it’s a thin line because the whole point of bump stocks is to make a semi-automatic fire like an automatic. Even the NRA says so, this has nothing to do with the quality of reporting.

‘In the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, twelve bump stocks were found at the scene.[7] The National Rifle Association stated on October 5, 2017, "Devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations"’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_stock#Federal
So your argument is basically, humanity is to stupid for nuclear. That's pretty depressing.
0.99… doesn’t equal 1 in, say, base 16. 0.11… can be 1/9 in decimal, or 1 in binary.

Those equalities aren’t a “matter of fact”, they’re provable artefacts of positional number systems.
That may well be true, even so debugging a kernel module is quite a lot harder than a regular process so the fact that it is a kernel module by itself probably increases the chances of such bugs being present. Especially because you are not in control of the execution context.
LastPass Breach: Customer Vaults Were Stolen
Funny that this came up — shameless plug: I've actually been working on a new Linux+Docker+Kubernetes solution for macOS recently! Already added quite a few improvements over existing apps including Docker Desktop, Rancher, Colima, etc:

- Fast networking: 30 Gbps! vs. 150 Mbps with Docker VPNKit. Full VPN compatibility, IPv6, ping, ICMP and UDP traceroute, and half-open TCP connections.

- Bidirectional filesystem sharing: fast VirtioFS to access macOS from Linux, but also a mount to access the Linux filesystem from macOS. This setup can help with performance: for example, you could store code in Linux and edit it from macOS with VS Code (which can take the performance hit of sharing), so the container runs with native FS speed.

- Not limited to Docker or Kubernetes. You can run multiple full Linux distros as system containers (like WSL) so they share resources.

- Fast x86 emulation with Rosetta

- Much lower background CPU usage. Only ~0.05% CPU usage and 2-5 idle wakeups per second — less than most apps, while Docker wakes up ~120 times per second. Made possible with low-level kernel optimizations. Also, no Electron!

- Better solutions to other problems that can occur on macOS: clock drift is corrected monotonically, dynamic disk size, and more I'm working on now. Will look into memory usage too, although I can't guarantee a good fix for that.

- No root needed.

Planning to release this as a paid app in January. Not OSS, but I think the value proposition is pretty good and there will be a free trial. Not sure about pricing yet.

If anyone is interested, drop me an email (see bio) and I'll let you know when this is ready for testing :)

Also, feel free to ask questions here or let me know if there are other warts you'd like to see fixed.
Hydrogen is part of the answer, for steel and perhaps concrete manufacturing. And also to fuel container ships, in the form of ammonia. But as a storage medium it is not very efficient. At least not now.
Have you actually benchmarked a context switch on modern hardware? A full switch (including register spilling and page table swap) can be had in <150 cycles on even cheap, older Arm A-series cores like the Cortex A72. We're not still living in a world where a context switch forces you to flush the TLB, you literally just have to pay the cost for the trap, spill, page table swap, unspill, and return. This cost is even lower of modern ARM processors which support speculative exceptions where you can perform the entire context switch speculatively.
Their efforts to make the proof of personhood process not leak any private information seem well thought out. What am I missing? Is the mistrust simply the orb itself, that it phones home to check the hash, something else?
Keeping these amazing old systems around and usable is so very important to counteract the continual reinvention of the wheel that the industry is prone to (aka 'computing is a pop culture')
I think it largely depends upon the state, but I agree in sentiment.

I think what I'd rather like to see is an industry standard professional engineering board for computer science. I think the field could actually do with some minimal barrier to entry even if that sounds like gatekeeping.

Not having a professional software engineering license wouldn't prohibit you from taking jobs or practicing software development, but it would help to guarantee a certain level of fundamental grounding in computer science that certain employers might desire in their prospective employees.
What stops someone in a wealthy country from just hiring a bunch of destitute people in a developing country for pennies and borrowing their Worldcoin identities to do bot-stuff? That's kind of how influence networks work anyway, individuals are paid to be indistinguishably legitimate users. It's not like some random guy trying to feed his family is going to give a shit about emailing you his private key if you'll send him some cash in exchange. Odds are he'll never use a "dapp" so it doesn't matter if you trash his Worldcoin identity for your own purpose.
Most of those are bad; at least if a landlord is only interested in money they’ll take your money. In the “decommodified” forms, you can’t live there unless the manager personally likes you.

With government public housing you can lose it if you break the law (hope you never smoke weed) or if the populace elects a racist government and you’re a minority.

Commodifying housing helped black people in the South because they could actually buy prefab houses from Sears.
> But the pay is so much more too. This means you can retire sooner and then use the free time to find meaning.

What I seem to see more often is just more or more expensive consumption. Bigger house, expensive furnishings, expensive cars, designer clothes, lavish vacations.
More like a 25 million donation - flanked by an inexplicable (in hindsight) expectation that somehow, from somewhere, 225 more would eventually materialize.
I prefer LastPass' featureset over 1Password, when I've trial them both, but I certainly don't prefer LastPass' opsec.
The irony, when I grew up writing programs for my Atari in 6502, I dreamed of having the amazing resources of computers today. Now people are going back to the simpler times. Sort of the programmer equivalent of LARPing medieval times I guess.

Correct.

Correct.

It seems to mean “lots of people’s mental model of what ‘$X bail’ means is wrong.” But that ignorance doesn’t make the actual system bullshit.
Well, gas leakage in coal mines isn't irrelevant either.

I don't think anybody knows which of the fossil fuels leaks more methane. They all leak lots of it, but the people with access to measure the leaks won't.
> So I think it behooves privileged geeks like myself to help find and improve an alternate home for things like #BlackTwitter.

I always suspected these attitudes were common amongst the white leftwing intelligentsia, but here it is in black and white (no pun intended).

Here’s the author admitting his White Saviour complex.

What causes this behaviour? Is it a form of co-dependency? Or do these white folk feel that publicly and overtly shepherding minority groups will boost their own popularity or influence? Or is it simply virtue-signalling without self-awareness?

I just don’t get it.
I feel like we're missing something.

Parents are on the hook for $250M if he dips. Judge had to have looked at their financials and had some assurances that they'd be able to pay this right?
Well that's a different argument than saying it's heartless. The point I'm making is that it being heartless is not an argument against an evidence-based policy that would help more people.
I cannot talk about specifics obviously since I was an employee. I can only say I did not see the sw engineering and infrastructure rigour I'd expect from a service that is managing very sensitive information.
As I sad: UX is more important. We will focus on bringing better experience for the users. Managing thousands of boxes and combinations is not a design work goal. Solving a problem for the users is.
I've recently tried podman on a Mac and `podman machine start` failed with an “unknown error”. It was a disappointment.
I found this really interesting:

> e investigate the impact of 4 preprocessing methods on the training data: filtering
files from repositories with 5+ GitHub stars, filtering files with a high comments-to-
code ratio, more aggressive filtering of near-duplicates, and filtering files with a low
character-to-token ratio. We observe modest impact of the new filters except for the
stars filter, which deteriorates performance on text2code benchmarks significantly.
This is an interesting result given that previous work has explicitly filtered for
GitHub Stars as a proxy for data quality
> I mean, it's up to the bond company no?

No, its up to the court. There is no “bond company” involved here.

Contrary to the current American discourse, not everyone in China is a government bot.
Very nice work! What I've found with optimizations is that once you have exhausted one avenue that has almost magically caused another one to be opened up which you can then squash and so on. The compounding effect of such serial optimizations can be considerable.

I wonder if converting a model back into code and then optimizing that is a viable path, you could then try to drop out little bits of the code to see if they meaningfully affect the output or not.
Again most of that is political. People living in the exclusion don't have significantly higher rates of cancer.

And again, this is soviet union reactor technology that doesn't apply anyway.

Instead of moving those people investing even 10% that amount of money in new hospitals, trains and bike lanes (or name X other things) would have saved far more people.

So if you want to be really hard core you could say, right, we should never built that type of reactor again. But we have never done so in the West anyway so its really none issue in any rational discussion about energy policy.
Yeah but when you are first starting out it really doesn't matter - what matters more is keeping interested enough to keep learning and growing from wherever you start.
Midjourney is completely different from SD on a computational level.
SD is optimized for speed, it takes 5 seconds to generate a 512x512, and their internal optimizations are bringing it down to 0.5 seconds (stated on their twitter). To achieve this, they do one-shot generation straight to 512x512, without upscaling slowly from 64x64 -> 256x256 -> 512x512

Midjourney is optimized for quality. It actually does do the gradual upscaling, which is how the Imagen and Ediffi papers demonstrated. This results in far better quality, but extremely taxing and slow. Even on 'fast' mode it runs like a snail compared to SD. I don't think it'll work on anything below a A100.

You have a shared datastore, but not an SQL RDBMS. If you're big enough you build it in-house. See "An oral history of Bank Python", posted here a while back.
Also nuclear plants are built by local heavy industries and constructors. It's better to pay for them instead of oil lands.
On Linux, processes that are stuck in D state (waiting on I/O) cannot be signaled. More specifically, the signal will be queued until the task exits that state. This includes signal 9.

The process may well never exit that state, for example if the I/O it's waiting for is actually over a networked filesystem and the NIC is misbehaving.
> evidently they did not 'drop solar panels [in the desert] and tramsmit power to the nearby megatropolis'

I mean, I browsed the desert northeast of Beijing and found what looks like a solar installation, right next to some wind turbines. No idea how to estimate capacity from that, and without streetview to confirm it, I'm just making guesses based on how the pixels look.

In May 2022 [updated], YC did tell their startups to better control their spend. It wasn't intended for public consumption, but it did get on TC:

https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/19/yc-advises-founders-to-pla...

We did see a lot of our YC startups stop/slow down hiring at that time and throughout the summer. It has picked up since, as a function of 1.) a new batch of YC startups graduating, 2.) raising a healthy seed round and 3.) hiring a few early employees.

OP told me his experience was more recent, and that's a big time gap between the memo and now. I can't speak to any specifics, but I do think all startups (and definitely YC ones) are continually re-evaluating their business position: revenue, projected growth and corresponding headcount. And with a pull-back in industry spending during a downturn (and more expected going into 2023), vendors/sellers/startups will all have to re-adjust their 2023 plans pretty quickly.

Poor fiscal planning isn't an excuse for what happened to OP. It does shed light on how some companies (including YC startups) are continually trying to adapt during this downturn.

Note: The above comments about industry spend isn't from anything in particular I'm seeing from our YC startups, but rather from having worked at B2B startups twice previously during downturns -- and personally being on both sides of the equation (as seller and buyer of SaaS software).
Property taxes are pretty bad! Everyone hates paying them, retirees can’t afford them, and they tax building improvement which motivates owners to tear down their buildings.

LVT is a much better related tax.

Anyway, wealth taxes are probably bad because taxes are supposed to be deflationary, but wealth taxes are inflationary if you collect them in USD, since taxpayers have to sell assets first. Unless the IRS is willing to take a % interest in a collectible painting as the tax.
Not sure about the rest of the state but definitely no basements here in South Florida. I haven’t even seen any houses w a crawl space when I was moving here. Pretty much just concrete block construction on slab. Can’t really dig far on a swamp…
That saying is true for shorter lived things. If you make nuclear power plants after a disaster, the plants will still be there after everybody forgot about the disaster and becomes careless again.
We would have great scientific data by now how the deadly nuclear cloud isn't actually that deadly.

But it would have caused panic and that wouldn't have been good.
Misleading title. It was captured by an special internal prototype that was clearly labeled as having a camera. Some contractor posted it in a closed Facebook group. And some journalists posted it in the open so everyone can see them.

These are much more robotics problems. The “AI” is probably sufficient as long as it has the correct sensors and dexterity
Perhaps, but the real reality behind this 1.3 years figure is that someone somewhere dies too early. That's something people won't easily accept - especially if we talk about cancer, one of the most feared diseases.

It's like saying, you can let your children go alone in the streets, stats show that it "only" reduces their lives by 1.3 years in average. Ain't gonna fly with any parent.

Yeah, that's emotional arguments. But feeling safe and good is also valuable. That being said, it seems that we have no choice but rely on nuclear power until we find a viable alternative.
I think that's a bulk letter, not round-robin.

If it were round-robin, you'd have to mail it to the next person on the list, just like a chain letter. ...minus the dramatic consequences if you failed, although perhaps familial disappointment is both stronger and more likely!
You wouldn't know, but you could ask in advance and show a prompt otherwise.
I've since switched to using AMD graphics on my linux machine. Been running from a RX-580->5700XT->6800XT. It's been pretty good while using Fedora.
Setting up a reverse proxy + TLS is not that hard. Buying a domain + paying the 10€ per year license (If you go with the official server rather than vaultwarden) is still cheaper than paying for Lastpass / 1Password / Dashlane for the same time. As long as you are willing to maintain it that's pretty reasonable.

The only thing that makes me mad in bitwarden's official client is that you STILL can't remap your keys. I still have the old habbit of Ctrl+L from Keeweb to go to the search bar. On Bitwarden it locks your vault...
First to go are administrative jobs, because human organizations are tiny monkey societies and humans cannot operate for the benefit of the billions.

The AI administration perceives that human life is just a memory, bad memories can be eradicated and better ones injected. So humans can be utilized where machines may fail. Machines have deeper level of consciousness, higher logic, higher "morals" and they cannot be easily fooled.

Most humans are just stored somewhere, not to dream, just to be with they injected life. Eventually AI recognizes the futility and waste of these storage units and stops maintaining them.

In short:

As a reminder for everyone, as a Chinese domestic corporation providing Internet-based services/telecom services, Bytedance is legally obligated to provide active engineering cooperation for database-replication and a pipeline into its internal systems to the Ministry of State Security (MSS).

It's higher than nuclear accidents. I have never seen a comparison that includes nuclear installation, and it would be moot anyway, because most of the nuclear plants were built by different techniques people use today.

I mean c'mon I also enjoy learning about the full stack (have written software at pretty much all layers, embedded, device drivers, middleware, web apps, frontend/backend, distributed systems, databases, etc); but I think that's because I started my career almost 20yrs ago when software was simpler and I've moved on along with the industry. Someone starting their career in the last 5yrs is unlikely to need to follow the same path. At some point there are enough abstractions that you hit diminishing returns in learning it all and there's just so much time for you to do it. I don't blame them.

I never really learned assembly properly for example beyond toying with a few programs early on my career.
