A few weeks ago I bought an used intel nuc7 with a 7th gen core i5… for 150€.

It came with a 120gb ssd, 4gb ram and a power brick.

I still don’t see the value in this SBCs used as home servers.
I wonder if the author could release his code in public domain if he wants to fix the issue. Corporate stance on GPL is not exactly unknown after all.

It shouldn't matter in theory, perimeter model is dying. Current security paradigm is to treat every device on a network as actively hostile.
It depends on your relationship and where you're coming from. If you are using it as some passive aggressive power trip, then there is no good way. If people feel you're being nitpicky then maybe ask them why? If you're going through documentation that's meant to last a long time, then everyone should welcome fixes. But going through tickets, unless it's egregious, maybe there are better ways to spend your time? If you end up in a situation arguing about the Oxford comma, then step back and think about why.
No. That is not what I'm saying. I'm saying on average queues must be empty most of the time. And if you are seeing queues that are filled most of the time, your entire system is operating on the border of failure.

This is true even when you have a big ass queue. The system must on average be more empty then it is filled.

This is not to say that your system has to never have spikes in data. Your system can often have spikes, but this cannot ever be the norm as in the amount of spikes in data production rate cannot push the average production rate to exceed the average consumption rate.
What about those who didn't want at first, then tried it after some nudging, and ended up enjoying it?
I'm just not sure the common modern people dance at all.

They go to the dance floor and do some weird random movements listening to overly loud music of grossly low quality.

Whether people a century or two ago has interpreted this as dance or as some mental conditon is an open question.

I'm all for ball dance or irish dance but not for the club variety.

Makes sense, but in such a case, why would a DE&I associate official comment about a shooting that happened at another school? Just sort of odd. If they did comment, why not someone who has the power to actually do something at Vanderbilt, and say something as simple as: "Hi students, in wake of the shooting at Michigan State, we are making any and all mental health and student support systems more available to our on-campus community. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in East Lansing, and the families of those affected by a senseless act of violence." Took me all of 27 seconds. Why does ChatGPT need to come into play to communicate to students?

Why these countries in particular? I guess it's about having oppressive/authoritarian regimes and being in Europe, but why to restrict it that way?

Edit: or perhaps it's because of the war, but Hungary doesn't seem to be involved as much. Though maybe I missed something there.

For receiving FM radio a lot of them do, definitely most of the feature phones that have a 3.5mm audio jack (the audio cable doubles as the antenna).

Some phones released around the 2010s also had FM transmitters, for example the [Nokia N8](https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8-3252.php). The use case for these was to be able to listen to the music you had in your phone via your car stereo, since AUX ports and BT sharing wasn't common back then.

Tax on the stock vesting(vesting is generous but taxed at 50%) and a disupte about the location for remote work made me look somewhere else.

I have to say the working hours are very nice if you are l4-l6, so is the compensation and all you have to do is clock in and out on the second(no joke, even too early can lead to penalties) and if you are proactive with feature improvements and not shy to do presentations, your promotion will be activelly pushed. Even if you want to change departments entirelly, there will be no hard feelings, you can announce that without hesitation.
You can go to l4 from l3, as l4 is where the vesting starts.
And no need to be the superstar as far performance goes, just dont be last. If you are last, youre still safe from a sack and a pip does not really happen, theres always someone to help, aka nesting team or something. If you dont perform, its on them.
Pick people for help as early as possible and you will be golden.

Of course there are some rather annoying people there too, some even seem to have an allergy to work, but all in all, its bright folks and a good environment.

Once you habe been there as l3, l4 or higher, due to the rather steep initial learning curve(all paid and well designed, even later on, you can chose upskilling, also all paid), you are always welcome back, believe me that, I best not go into details.

I might go back some day, I think it is the best option if you feel like working in a big corporation for a while.

I have accepted an offer from a startup paying much better for the time being, but I always keep Amazing in the back of my mind.

Keep in mind this only applies for l3 to l6, I cant speak for the rest, but once youve been there, you will see why they always welcome people back, the onboarding cost and training for the first few months are vast.
I always felt sorry if someone out of amazon would be hired for something like fba dept manager.
But yes, seen many people have a one year break without a promise of going back which just felt like they wanna be a stewardess on planes for a while.

Also, this was in Europe, where many employment laws have to be followed to the t.

I would give them a try anyehere in the world, learned a lot there, including how to create procedures for things which have none, theres some pretty important things you can start from scratch, be the creator. They call it taking ownership, which is always rewarded, even if it takes you a month.

> You need to build your system such that it stays out of unsustainable states as much as possible.

You assert that without justification. Typical counter-example would be system where you have predictable daily load-pattern, it can be perfectly reasonable to build the system that accumulates items during peak hours and clears queues during quiet hours.
Sending an email about a mass shooting seems to me to be a key part of the job. That's the only interpretation I have in mind.
It remains to be seen how far GPT-like models can go. If we can teach it to be consistently better at humans in doing tasks that require intelligence, and if the costs of running the AI models are smaller than hiring people to do those things, things could get out of hand pretty quickly.

One could doubt whether GPTs really can outperform humans consistently in areas that matter, but we haven't even tried yet.
What really gets me about this whole discussion is that lots of this stuff feels like yesterday to me. And yet, it's been almost 40 years. Mnemonics and register offsets for peripherals are all jumping to attention for immediate use. But don't ask me what I ate last week...
Incidentally a helpful dichotomy in this regard is laid out in Nietzsche's first major work: The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music (he was a superb classical philologist by trade and one of the youngest tenured "Classics" professors at the age of 24):

>Dancing forces you to be here and now—connecting you with your and your partner’s body. Dancing is a means of irrational communication. Dancing is a conversation between two people where the means of communication are your bodies.

Personally, I wouldn't focus on partner dance. In my experience those tend to be over-analytical and strict.

It is more approachable to immerse yourself in dancing all by yourself and/or in group dance (more akin to ritualistic dances inducing trance-like states).

[0]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_and_Dionysian
In my experience, if you tell one of the dance people that you have tried for over 10 years and still don't like it, they will very likely not even accept that.

They will believe they can show you better and make you like it, and thus will try to obnoxiously persuade you to dance with them.

It's just rude.

And the attitude of yours is also part of the problem:

Believing that somehow grown up people are incapable of learning the very basic fact "dancing can be fun" on their own and need to be told about it and nudged towards it.

No, they don't, they know it can be enjoyable, and they have tried, and it isn't for them, and they don't need to be educated any further.
I'm not seeing much of a use case tbh, in the sense that I cannot see myself going for something like this.

If it's really sensitive I wouldn't put it on an accessible page and then have to worry about password sharing, server-side security/possible spoofing, etc etc

So if I can share the password securely and/or have it somewhere safe, why don't I use that system for the content itself? because of html formatting, storage, etc? seems like a much easier problem to solve than the threat model of sensitive stuff shared on the web.

I'm trying to imagine concrete situations that I'd go for something like this and I cannot quite think of any. Silo-ing stuff behind a login is so much more versatile. Generally not putting sensitive stuff on the web works so well when you can send essentially anything point-to-point using so many widely used protocols including Signal, LINE or Whatsapp, or a simple email, which you can use to send encrypted 7z files for good measure.
Your viewpoint is one I consistently have to push against.

Computation is not necessarily experience. I can't emphasize enough how fundamental understanding this is. It seems some just can't grasp this concept.

Would you say a program that echoes to the screen the responses of a hidden human is intelligent? Viewed as a black box, it would certainly seem so. But does it have any internal experience and understanding of anything? Of course this is a trivial experiment, but the point of it is to show, in the most absurdly clear terms, that producing plausible outputs !== being intelligent, much less having a conscious experience.

This example also shows that the perceived sophistication of the input-output transformation is immaterial, unless you want to say consciousness requires a certain internal architecture for computation, in which case I would ask: what architecture is that? No matter the sophistication of an algorithm, it's computation lies on a different axis to that of consciousness. You might say human compute because they are conscious, not conscious because they compute.

Another way to understand this: Let's say you touch a very hot object. You skin, in conjunction with your brain, senses and computes the temperature of the object. But, there is no essential reason why that should lead to an experience of pain, rather than a sensation similar to color, which generally does not produce pain.
> We go about our days for weeks, months, years and even decades without even noticing that consciousness is a thing.

Do we? I feel like I'm constantly reflecting on it and trying to make sense of it, and that I'm certainly not alone. I'd like to think that it's part of being human to turn the lens back on itself and wonder "what am I?" But I suppose some people could care less for navel gazing.
The fundamental flaw with this entire branch is the premise that consciousness is mathematical. Math is a tool of reason, not the cause. And once you adopt this premise, it makes all progress toward understanding reason impossible especially how concepts work, the key differentiator between humans and other animals without conceptual faculties.
Yeah what folks do nowadays is more like, I don't know, what people did for a million years before courtly Renaissance pedants started codifying it so somebody could be cooler than another person.

You could do this for cheaper (and with more ram) using a raspberry pi 4 with a usb nvme ssd, it’s got gigabit ethernet and is arm64. Sure you have two less cores than this solution but it’s
more likely to be supported over time and once you get the SD card out of the mix the I/O is solid. I’ve been surprised by how much the SD card throughput was limiting the experience.

I run arch Linux arm on mine and it’s a fantastic little device. I wonder if these boards are way faster or just more of the same. I guess the pcie expansion makes this more extensible.
Ideally we'd ban both, but mining is way worse for children.

Even in the global north, it's common for it to be legal for your children to be allowed to work on your farm. I struggle to think of a situation there where your children are mining at an economically viable scale that doesn't result in the state taking your children away for abuse.
This is a common view, but it is based on humans thinking they are special. “My own thoughts are so amazing”, “my own subjective reality is so real to me”, thus surely this is unexplainable.

When really, humans give themselves (their own thoughts) way too much credit and most are barely aware of their own thoughts, barely self-aware at all.

It is easy to say something is ‘un-explainable’ and thus ‘must be in some otherworldly realm that is beyond comprehension’, if one is not able to observer the problem. Most humans aren’t self-aware enough to know their own thoughts or examine where those thoughts come from.

Just a few decades ago simple voice recognition was deemed ‘a totally human ability that the computer will never accomplish’, now it is ordinary.

It comes down to humans internal subjective reality is both amazing and ‘unknowable to the outside’, ’un-observable’, thus un-testable. But then we make this giant leap that nothing we will ever build will also have some ‘internal subjective reality’.

It keeps coming up that GPT is a glorified auto-complete, but then never explain how a human isn’t also just an ‘auto-complete’ machine, just going through the day twitching at stimuli. Why do we think a human doing copy/paste, and regurgitating something they heard, is special, but if a computer does then suddenly it is completely invalid to think they could ever be conscious.
Yes, I 100% agree. I was too brief in my comment here.
My understanding is any Android phone with a Qualcomm LTE modem and a physical headphone jack can tap into FM radio. The headphones are used as the antenna.
A little nudging seems okay, but it often crosses the line with dancing, to the point where people get physically dragged to the dance floor.

A little gentle nudging followed by respecting the other person's choice is the way to go. But some people can't seem to compute the fact that there are legitimate reasons some people don't enjoy dancing, and take it as an almost personal affront.

If I'm playing Smash Brothers at a party, I'll totally try to get people involved, even if they don't look interested. But some people don't enjoy video games, and some people just don't like fighting games, so I don't physically force the controller into their hands, claiming "you'll have fun if you just loosen up!"

This post makes some wild assumptions, like the fact that B2B PMs only interview customers, and not end users. Also, that they mostly build what people are saying they want to have.

Ironically, avoiding assumptions is the basis of product management.

At the end of the day, someone has to do the product role on the team. If the founder can scale that, great, and if the engineers can do it, even better! Unfortunately both options are extremely rare to find.

There are a lot of shitty PMs out there, just as there are a lot of shitty engineers or any other job function.. We would do better, I think, to discuss and promote better patterns, than trying to discredit a whole profession by clumsily reverse engineering a handful of gross assumptions and, probably, bad personal experiences.
Tough gig on hacker news with this one. Unless it's logical thinking to prove superiority, you've lost!
I saw almost no "raging" though? Yeah obviously concerned about the future of her profession and some difficult questions asked about IP theft and copyright, but that's about it?

Edit: There is some raging in the replies but it's twitter and everyone is raging on there.

There was some raging about Netflix using "AI" to generate backgrounds for a cartoon, but ultimately everyone will lose, including Netflix if this really is very automated, Almost anyone will soon be able to create a Netflix so I'll just cancel my subscription and watch free generated content uploaded to Youtube I guess?
That big release upgrades provide more hassle than benifits was also observed by Google, hence they switched to rolling release. The reason Debian breaks more at release changes though is probably more due to them patching and modifying software, which they have sometimes have to change/drop with a new SW release. Or you have a hard time deploying a newer SW version on top of the old binaries. Arch follows upstream very close, which maybe increases the times things could/have to be reconfigured, but it still mostly means running vimdiff against config.conf and config.conf.pac{new,save}. Sure Debian is more reliable if you want do want to really change deployed systems, but if your company strategy is to keep up with upstream, Arch may work better than it's reputation.

And if you'd need stability once, you could just set Archive on a specific day as package mirror on your cache server.
The Lenovo "Tiny" machines are also cheap on eBay, even one with a Ryzen 5 and 8Gb RAM for ~$140USD.

Though there are reasons to specifically want an ARM64 machine for builds, etc.
Capitalism works because it can find an alternative to the resource that is running out. Something centrally planned systems struggle with. And a big reason why centrally planned systems fail is because they are usually ruled by conservative men who cannot imagine a world without said resource. Meanwhile, a capitalist system will “creatively destroy” the old way of doing things and replace it with a new one. Ironically, people who cheer on capitalism often struggle with accepting the new way.
Blacksmithing for architectural preservation is being taught at the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston SC. The school was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo when it was discovered that there were few artisans in the US able to do the level of work needed to repair all the historic buildings that were damaged.

They offer a 4-year Bachelor of Arts degree with concentrations in blacksmithing, carpentry/timber framing, plastering, stone carving, and classical architecture. Many of them go on to start their own firms after graduation and gaining work experience.

Or use load shedding, in which case you want your queue nonempty to take advantage of negative spikes.
I've had success with the basics you mention, but I found very important to have a good holder for the PCB and a magnifier with light. You need to see the details while you're soldering. You need decent bent needle tweezers to manipulate and hold the part. Also a stronger magnifier (hand-held) for inspecting my work is useful, as well as an ohmmeter. And finally to fix mistakes I found desoldering wick to be the easiest.
Distributism, mutualism, anarcho-socialism, etc. are less capitalized models but retail decentralization.
> If the queue is not empty, it means that whatever job is consuming from the queue is not keeping up with messages coming into it.

You could conceivably have a non-zero queue size that asymptotically reaches some stable size over time. In such a case you are keeping up with messages but with some approximately static amount of added latency.

I don’t think I’ve seen this happen in practice but I think some systems can be engineered to be approximately stable (grows and shrinks but within predictable bounds)
> I disagree. Team sports (playing basketball) are just as much about choreography and also the connection between dance and all other activities you mentioned. The feeling of being part of a "well-oiled machine" is the sense that the choreography is successful. This feels good because most of the time a group of people wouldn't care for doing what you expect. It's affirmation.

I've done team sports and all I can say is: it's not the same[1]. When I'm on a team, we're all trying to achieve the same goal, but we aren't one body. There's no sense that everyone is acting as a single being. Beyond that, I guess, I can't really give much of a logical argument - it's just something that I've experienced. And others may disagree, which is fine too.

My own personal theory is that there is no innate way the body can tell what is self and what is other. And synchronized movement is a sort of hack that tricks people into partially accepting other people as self. But that's just a wild theory I have and has no real backing that I know of.

1. I suspect that high level military drill probably would engender the same feelings, but I suspect that that's not what you meant when you mentioned "team sports".
Modelling your frontend as a bunch of reusable components is a big benefit of frameworks. I think it's hard to go half and half with frontend component and backend templating though.

Managing any (Literally any) client-side state is also easier with a framework. I'd rather use Preact than write vanilla JS for basic state management.
The "e" in Emacs stands for "editor", if anything. The name "emacs" originates from "editor macros". Your point still stands. Emacs embodies extensibility.
In the era of huge ML models, wouldn't it make more sense to do the opposite, i.e. use main RAM or SSD as swap voor VRAM? So that we can run e.g. ChatGPT on consumer hardware.
