yeah but you are not the target audience. we dont a a self-managed sign up because none of our target customers have the capabilities to pay the prices with a credit card because their companies have purchasing departments that do this for them.

there are so many layers for these companies before they can buy anthing above a certain threshold its insane.

Usually I wouldn't post a Cloudflare mitigates blah blah blah blog, but I thought this one was particularly interesting because of the range of addresses, an attack that large spawning from over 30,000 IPs is a pretty well orchestrated attack. The most I've read pervious was well under half that (granted I've been out of networking for a long time).
It's most likely 3 different violent crimes according to FBI:

Definition. In the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses that involve force or threat of force.

First of all, thank you very much for your feedback.

Yes, as you said, gw and api in Lockval Engine implement stateless services, db implements ACID for front-end and back-end data, and trigger provides calling methods outside the engine.

So this is a complete closed-loop backend engine. It provides the most basic computing and data synchronization capabilities, and other functions can also be provided to upper-level scripts in the form of plug-ins

Sorry for the very lacking and messy documentation, I'll try to get them out of there as soon as I can.
I made apidemo and playground pages, I think these two pages can help you understand how Lockval Engine is used in a more intuitive way.
In addition, these two pages can be downloaded locally to build the experience yourself.

I'm also sorry that none of these pages are optimized for mobile, web development is really not my strong point.

Obviously, the question[1] had to be asked:

"What is the population of Uranus?"

> 25 residents

> Uranus has 25 residents but no formal local government and states on the entrance sign, "It's Not a Town, It's a Destination." [3]

And it is correct, up to Wikipedian facticity standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus,_Missouri

>The point of the discussion was that the parent said feeding instructions into the LLM is a ridiculous idea that would never work and not produce anything of value. They were corrected accordingly since all GPT products are built that way and obviously work.

> I've heard some people cite quantum physics to explain free will and consciousness, although these arguments always seemed completely unsupported and a form of "god of the gaps" reasoning to me.

Certainly a kind of god of the gaps reasoning, but actually quite relevant to our discussions of ai. If the world is fully deterministic, there's little room for the independent thought and free will we thinks makes our human existence special. We are then maybe just relatively sophisticated prediction engines, and even an LLM like ChatGPT isn't fundamentally dissimilar to us.

Yeah, it can help a bit with looping, but introduces other problems. I recalled from earlier that a combo of tweaking no_speech_threshold and logprob_threshold settings helped somewhat, though trying again on a random video it doesn't do much. Still hallucinates a stream of captions (albeit non-repetitive, though one run had several Touhou related lines) for what should be 4 minutes of looping background music before the first sentence. If all one needs Whisper for is transcribing English though, I still think it's pretty decent. On my test video now it will 'correctly' transcribe the music as ♪ when I ask it to just transcribe it as English.

Agreed, but the bean would probably very quickly find an obstacle over which it cannot jump. It would have to change direction then, but that's a much more complex strategy.

Another problem is that the bean probably can't keep a direction even if it "wanted". It uses random walk, quite possibly because it's the simplest to achieve acceptable results.
no the actual issue is that it would mean a demotion for Ryan

Like our tech director spending millions on Microsoft stuff. Anyone sees that it's not really the most sane investments to be making. But the only way out is to fire the guy, and that's just one step too far.

So the ryan's are untouchable because of politics, they want to keep their scope and budgets. If nobody wants to decrease their budget, no money is saved sadly
Russia has been infamous for sowing division in the West using information warfare, and its no surprise that anti-West/anti-American's end up picking up pro-Russian propaganda which has become incredibly apparent throughout this war. Propaganda is designed to build lies from a truth or misinterpreted fact so it seems believeable; its not so much that a website/forum needs to be _controlled_ or _backed_, or that bots need to be leveraged most of the time. Plus, most people think they are too smart to believe propaganda which honestly means they are more likely to fall for it.

First I've heard of this site.

What is GCS?
I discovered this technique only a few months ago, and couldn't agree more.

You could set it up so whoever initiates a transfer could get a kind of receipt that proves they initiated a transfer of X dollars to whomever.

So if Alice transfers 5 dollars to Bob and Bob says "What 5 dollars? What are you talking about?", then Alice could say, well here's my receipt, that's signed by my private key and the private key of the FHE bank, that shows that I sent the money to Bob and the FHE bank executed the transfer.

The level of "5 why's" depends on the level of the person doing it, going as far as its needed to reach that level where you should be driving change.

In the "car won't start" example of the original article, the motor pool mechanic needs to stop the whys at the broken alternator belt, because that is something they can and should fix; the motor pool manager needs to go on until reaching the practice/policy for how often preventive maintenance is done, and the top management (if the consequences are severe enough to warrant attention) need to go on until the "why do we have poor car maintenance" questions reach things like mid-management forcing people to ignore the maintenance schedules, or staffing policy, budget for whole departments, and/or the choice to outsource/insource that function.

But going on much further than your own level is not going to be productive - you can make an actionable suggestion to your boss if some root cause isn't fixable at your level but is fixable there, and that's about it, at least in my experience.
Stupid question: But were does a normal citizen buy redox flow batteries? I googled far and wide, and those are just not sold in my area to end consumers (germany). Has somebody else a website were you can order those? I can order normal battery packs just fine, but the chemical storage ones (https://redflow.com/) are vannishing into silence here in germany, for unknown reasons.

You can't have a perception without an external thing existing.

If you're born tabula rasa and everything you know is learnt, then everything your senses know came from an external object which exists independently of your senses.

> I don't understand why this would be called "rotting". Sure, it's old, but it's actively maintained by its original author, a Gmbh has been established around its maintenance and it retains a few developers for the purpose.

It is called rotting, because quite a few times critical vulnerabilities were found, but even former members of the GnuPG project could not convince Werner Koch to fix it before publication. Werner Koch also withholds updating the OpenPGP standard to make it up2date for current threatmodels. He's basically holding GnuPG hostage at that point and that threatens security. Sequoia tries to fix this, but Werner Koch does not want to change anything apparently.

> This is to say nothing of geopolitics. It's difficult for Europe to trust anything made in America. It was for this reason that Richard Stallman encouraged Germans to make encryption software, the import of which America allowed but the import of American encryption software in the Germany was illegal. This is why Werner Koch started gpg. Sequoia seems to be made by a foundation based in America. I doubt a significant following in Europe will pick it up.

Neither the NLlabs or the p=p foundation are set in america. Both are european efforts and in part paid by the european council. This is just FUD what you are telling here.

> Using the original gpg is a great way to show more international unity, but we all know that's a secondary reason to use software. The primary reason is that it's a quality piece of work that will be very difficult to reproduce.

Well, that is the same with sequoia which is basically made mostly by europeans which make much less money than all the consultants which produce daily cloudstuff which does not generate any value for society than taxes. to be honest, you should get your facts straight before telling FUD about seqouia.
> in the UK, governments have stepped in to spend huge amounts subsidising energy (including gas), SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY to that people don't use any less

No.

The government stepped in because poor people (and many not so poor) could not afford to heat their homes over winter.

It is (was) an emergency measure. The transition to green energy is well under way in the UK, regardless of temporary subsidies.
71M requests per second gives you about 14ns per request. WolframAlpha says that's about 4 times the latency of a L2 cache access and 0.8 times the latency of a Mutex lock / unlock: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1+second+%2F+71+million. So even if you have a massive amount of cores in that machine, you still don't really have much time to spend on a single request and a single mutex operation will exceed your budget.

For comparison: HAProxy was able to deal with 2M requests per second on a single machine in 2021: https://www.haproxy.com/de/blog/haproxy-forwards-over-2-mill... (Disclosure: I'm a HAProxy community contributor).
I've actually used apt-cacher-ng, or at least I spent two years trying. Sadly, it's a buggy pile of poop that constantly segfaults and has serious data corruption bugs. It corrupts packages. Like, all you gotta do is download a file from the internet, and it messes that up by corrupting it.

All of these bugs are super well-known, written about, and documented.

I never did find a good Deb package cache manager. I simply wrote a script that distributes common packages between my LAN systems as I update them in a serial matter. It works but I wish there was something better. Everything I've tried is either sub-Alpha bugware and incomprehensibly complicated.

Yes, of course. Notion and Jasper can't change the underlying weights. They use the API like anyone else where you prepend the request with instructions. That's how it's done. Not sure what more to tell you.

>Proof by authority?
Not sure how this “proof by authority” cynicism applies here. Those events are pretty well established by now and he won a Pulitzer for breaking the story in the face of coverup… isn’t that exactly what high-quality journalism should be? And be rewarded for? There might be an unseemly bragging tone but it doesn’t make it any less true. What’s next - Einstein’s Nobels are also proof by authority?

Relevant (accurate) past recognition should be taken into account as a prior when evaluating uncertain present claims. It doesn’t mean they’re automatically right, and evidence/arguments should be evaluated on their own merit as much as possible, but in the face of opaque fog of war, are you suggesting this journalist should be taken no more seriously than some rando off the street?
Google already does this so I assume it's in line with the law. If they get the lyrics wrong, maybe that's under fair use?

Online platforms in EU must publish number of active users by 17 February 2023
> For online platforms, they must publish their number of active users by 17 February 2023. If the platform or a search engine has more than 45 million users (10% of the population in Europe), the Commission will designate the service as a very large online platform or a very large online search engine. These services will have 4 months to comply with the obligations of the DSA, which includes carrying out and providing the Commission with their first annual risk assessment. EU Member States will have to appoint Digital Services Coordinators by 17 February 2024, when also platforms with less than 45 million active users have to comply with all the DSA rules.

I would add Turkey to that list. Many many years ago I had a kind of popular podcast about computer graphics and all of my grief was coming from Turkey. After I banned all of Turkey‘s IPs my drama was over.

Exactly, thank you so much for putting the experience into words. The random errors are just so... astoundingly random.

I've had problems with a headset on USB-C (Sennheiser EPOS). Teams would connect once, and then never again. Another time it would stop responding to any click. Then it would reload whenever changing team/channel. And then it would no longer show any notifications.

I haven't seen an app with that amount of apparently completely random errors, often not reproducible either. It's like a Bethesda game.
> CPAPs

> automotive diagnostic/programming software

The regulatory evidence you need to submit, the standards you need to comply with and the quality control you need throughout the whole manufacturing process makes it near impossible to deliver community driven open-source medical devices unless it's a 'wellness' (not medical device) or maybe class I medical device.

You could argue that Manufacturers could design open hardware and let people modify code at will on their custom CPAP but it would be very difficult to navigate legal liability. If someone modifies their custom CPAP and makes a firmware change that drastically increases pressure and a patient suffers barotrauma who is liable?

The same can be said for safety critical firmware in automotive (excluding infotainment etc.). Diagnostics/Logging sure have at it, but actual firmware changes I would prefer that we let manufacturers do that. A 4 tonne vehicle at 100 Km/h can hurt a lot more people than just a tinkering driver.
I completely understand this reasoning for smaller companies, but a company like Spotify will care deeply about the dependencies in their project. Just because core-js is a dependency of a dependency simply doesn't matter and if anything, makes it even more essential. Unless they're extremely incompetent, any 3rd party code that's to be deployed to their entire user base is presumably being reviewed in detail.

And I guess I'm not even sure I buy the argument that most developers don't know about core-js. I know I'd be extremely concerned if I was hiring an experienced frontend dev who didn't know what core-js was. Anyone who's thought about browser capability before should have had to think about polyfills, and naturally their use of core-js. It also comes up a lot when trying to optimise bundle size given the size of core-js.
That their evidence says actually that renewables were trending down in price before the war rather than trying to attribute it to a war they happen to like.
It requires exceptional executives and an exceptional executive data scientist today, no doubt. Though, based on my experience it is possible given mutual due respect. Executives are domain experts, and I’m a business economist-statistician / econometrician. We work together to pool our understanding given our vantage points and differing abilities, skills and knowledge. By working together, and applying the right skills to important situations, it’s possible to avoid a lot of conformation bias it would be difficult to avoid otherwise (and the result is growth and smooth operation). ie- through analysis, it’s possible gain alignment & prevent all kinds of erroneous assumptions (resulting in increased growth).
"Deeply breath out and then breathe in" It's hard to breathe in vacuum and I doubt that current layoffs will fill it (unless we are in a long recession). Next breath in can be very expensive.
