The ARM VM provided by Oracle is actually quite powerful (definitely much more so than anything free by GCP or AWS). Since I have no point of reference for that processor, I have no idea if you're getting four real cores, but it at least feels so. Compiling large C projects is faster than doing it on my machine (although the target architecture is different, so the comparison is a bit pointless).

The two x86 VMs are puny and can only be used as VPN gateways, or for static site hosting, or something like that.

Not using any of that newfangled "serverless" nonsense, and do not plan to. For work projects we rely on colocation with properly self-provisioned and fully controlled servers. It would be silly to use free tiers since you get absolutely zero uptime guarantees.

>> The buyer should make the seller aware of the problem, because it is in the buyer's interest not to end up with scrap.

How does this assume anything about the owner/seller?

It’s entirely on the buyer to make sure they’re getting what they want out of a transaction (as long as the seller is not misrepresenting the product), and activation lock has been a thing for like a decade on Apple devices, so it should be widely known. If they make major purchases without even doing the bare minimum of due diligence, they will have a bad time regardless of activation lock. I’ve seen people buy ancient MacBooks off eBay that can’t run the software they need, simply because they didn’t do the research. That isn’t the seller’s fault.

If the seller is misrepresenting the product as having the activation lock removed when it isn’t, that becomes a legal issue. On platforms like eBay, they will happily side with the buyer and refund them in cases like that. For B2B stuff, that’s why lawyers exist.

I hope something comes of this, but other than a change in administration, what's new on this in the last decade? Hasn't Google essentially controlled most of online advertising for eons? In fact, perhaps more recently Facebook/Meta has chipped into that market more than how things were 8-10 years ago.

I was part of an acquisition that Google made in the ad-tech industry back in 2011 and there was a months long DOJ investigation before approving the purchase. The conclusion was it would not harm competition. Within less than two years our product was eliminated or folded into Google's and the staff scattered to the wind (inside and outside Google), and our customers became Google's customers. They've been doing this forever, back to DoubleClick, etc.

Is this timing connected in any way with layoff announcements? Or a general push by the Biden admin generally?

Not American, so not as informed about the ins and outs, and genuinely curious.
US-made porn I'd agree with you, the unions and other associations (e.g. APAG) have a pretty good eye, and the record-keeping requirements help out as well.

Internationally however? Oh hell no. Particularly Eastern Europe has been rife with stories of exploitation for decades, and some Asian countries have an even worse problem with sexual exploitation of minors. For example, Andrew Tate, moron that he is, just made the error of publicly admitting that the police doesn't care about sexual exploitation on camera - now he forced the hands of the police to act.

What do you all use Wine for (and on which OS)?

I used to keep trying it for running various poker clients on Linux but none ever really worked properly.

I also tried DelftShip (hull designer) on MacOS but couldn't get it to work properly, while an old version of FreeShip (from which DelftShip was forked) did however work IIRC.

In short I've tried various apps throughout the years but have found nothing that's actually worked well enough to keep it running to this day. Last time I tried Wine must've been around version 5 though, maybe things have improved since?

There is really no benefit to self-hosting for an individual's basic productivity tools. Just back up your files. When your managed hoster becomes insufferable, upload your backed-up files to a new managed hoster.

I have switched email providers 3 times in 25 years. With the last one, I bought a domain and pay for custom domain hosting. I don't have to think about my e-mail again until the next time I switch in 10 years. When I switch, I'll just sign up for the new provider and sync my IMAP folder over, change MX records, and boom: done. No paying for a VPS, no maintaining software patches or server or network issues, no e-mail administration or web interface administration or dealing with spam or IP reputation or anything else. It's all taken care of.

Maybe that's good. There are glib liars on the net, and not all of them are ChatGPT. If people learn to be skeptical of fine-sounding content on the net, maybe they'll apply it to humans, too.
It is only a critically significant problem for some applications. People have already come up with a variety of potential solutions for this problem, for different classes of problems, including integration with Wolfram Alpha.

However, verifying results is and will always be important. Iterating on the prompts and alternative paths is also important.

But even as it is right now, it is very useful to a lot of people. Remember, a lot of people accepted self-driving cars that can drive themselves off roads and crash into trailers, even paid extra for it, while this is just text generation for now.

I see that it is going to transform everything. No technical revolution has ever been more readily apparent. We now have an interface to talk to computers that can translate unstructured raw language into other formats. This is the real innovation that will unlock the power of more specialized, more advanced models in the near future.
Many enterprises using Splunk are already being forced to purchase products like Cribl to route some of their data to a data lake because writing it all to Splunk is just way too expensive at that scale 1-100TB+/day (7 figures $).

But a data lake shouldn't just be a dump of data right? Matano OSS helps organizations build high value data lakes in S3 and reduce their dependency on SIEM by centralizing high throughput data in object storage using Matano to power investigations. To give you an example, one company is using Matano to collect, normalize, and store VPC Flow logs from hundreds of AWS accounts which was too expensive with traditional SIEM.

Matano is also completely serverless and automates the maintenance of all resources/tables using IaC so it's perfect for smaller security teams on the cloud dealing with a large amount of data and wanting to use a modern data stack to analyze it.

"If you could have AI turn a spec into code, then the real intelligence goes into writing the spec to cover the complexity."

If that's the case, then the spec is code. And this isn't the first time something like that has happened: people who write assembly might say to someone writing Python, "How can you call that code when you don't even know which register is storing a value?"

Their PO, any officer scanning automatic plate readers, customs agents, whoever, they're all chomping at the bit to pull that person back out of society and employment.

When I'm hiring for a technical position, good LaTeX typesetting in a resume often means more than the details in the resume itself.

Love this. Many hardware oscilloscopes can (and were) configured to do this in polar plotting mode.
And many profession artists cannot draw hands either. We're talking the distinction between "sounds smart" and "is smart." People here are arguing that the AI not "smart"; it only "sounds smart."

Art is where an approximation is fine and you can fill the holes with "subjectivity", but engineering is where missing a bolt on a bridge could collapse the whole thing.

Unlike Citadel, TCI has a history of forcing the board's hand using litigation. Hardly noise.

Also, TCI's AUM is now only 28B. They've had a harsh last few months.

Another thing is that Citadel is far more leveraged, and it has a discretionary AUM of around 285B, while TCI seems to have little to no leverage. So Citadel controls around 10 times more capital than TCI

Nah, our industry values development velocity much more than correctness, performance, ergonomics, or any kind of engineering or common sense.

> It has money to pay a moderator and doesn't need to directly make money from it

Yes, that's the sweet spot that HN ended up in, kind of by historical accident, and it seems to be a local optimum.

If we had to make money from HN in any of the standard squeezy ways, it would get worse, which would degrade if not ruin the community. It would also be a miserable slog and who would want to work on that? so the quality would go down that way too. There are a lot of gradients along which the quality would go down.

Because we don't have to do that, we can focus on just trying to keep the community happy, which boils down to trying to keep HN as good as possible. It's incredibly satisfying to just have to make something good. (Not that it is good...but that's a separate question, and this is the internet and we get graded on a curve.)

Ironically, this statement is _also_ incomplete. It is missing key details that are meant to be inferred from 'free software project'.

"Accuse" illuminates the core failure on my part. Gatekeep was the wrong word choice, as it implies _intent_. I do not believe that the release note writer has intentionally left out details.

I'm pointing out that many of us rely on too much assumed knowledge in our writing.

I personally make an effort to write and speak in manner that is understandable even to someone with low domain knowledge and context. I have observed that this skill has been important to my career. Because of this, I am particularly aware of instances where a writer has left out key details in their writing, because I often fill that void for the other stakeholders.

Here [1] is a picture of the Mona Lisa. Even if one isn't really into art, you can't help but be drawn into that smile. What did it mean? What was she thinking? What did Leonardo see, and when painting it did he intend to convey what he saw? Or was it a mystery to himself as well, something unbelievably well conveyed in the painting itself?

The reasons these questions are so fun to consider is because we know the answers exist, even if we also know we shall never know them. By contrast had this image just been something output by yet another neural network generator, there would be little to no interest of the same sort, as you would know that anything you infer beyond the most surface level is exactly the same as seeing shapes in the clouds.
