> this "assumption that his ontological conclusions exist as objective reality" is needed, and that to do away with this 'assumption' is 'irrational' and sends one down the path towards authoritarianism.

When you understand that the author is ok with authoritarianism so long as it validates his symbolic universe because it's draped in the fineries of rationalism, the sooner the piece clicks. The author is fine with authoritarianism so long as its his authoritarianism and he doesn't get to call it authoritarianism, he gets to call it reality. To him it is reality and anyone disagreeing with him is denying reality. When we talk about the most insidious delusions, it's his. It's intellectual narcissism. And that's why it's epistemologically vacuous.

Anyone who's studied epistomology knows he's arguing from within a system instead of outside it and it comes across as naive realism because it is.
Appreciate the feedback! A comparison table is a great idea and something we'll look into.

We fully anticipate having tighter integrations with Langchain in the near future. We view them as complimentary frameworks in many ways. For example, we might subclass the `BaseLLM` class such that you can interact with Vellum deployments and get all the monitoring/observability that Vellum provides, but invoke them via your Lanchain chain.
Your ISP, "mapping your network" means being able to take data that was previously an amalgam of a household and reliably split it into the individual members and devices for better targeting.
All of those "things" will be plugged into an AI and one senior technologist will be able to write a detailed functional description of a system in natural language, domain models, with data points, and an AI will write, test, integrate, and deploy production level code.

Given that the severe limitations of the current state of the art (as we've seen from from how trivial is to show that these systems are basically spouting nonsense, and certainly have no meaningful understanding of the world we actually live in); and that this 100 percent waterfall model of software creation you describe has never worked in the aforementioned actual world that we live in -

How, exactly, do you "know" that the above will come to pass?
Might be a way to keep the offices looking like a ghost town.

Learning would work at least as well IMO. One can be educated to taking educated people seriously.
This reminded me of an e300-8D I recently parted ways with. Bought new in 2017 but only had VGA out from the BMC... I gave away the VGA monitor I was using with it. Looking back I'm surprised I didn't just buy an active converter, it was such a pain to pull that monitor out :p.
If foreshadowing is one of their intention with the teaser, I'm afraid they'll push raytracing very hard. Their trailer had a lot of 'reflect in water', 'reflect in glass panes' moments.
Markdoc custom tag definitions can include arbitrary AST transforms on the child nodes, as in this example: https://markdoc.dev/docs/examples#tabs In order to do this, you need some API, so you can't just define the tags in JSON.
To be clear, I agree that there are in fact a few nuggets of insight here. But my point is that you "fall for it" when you take this as anything other than a "huh, here is one sorta out-there but interesting way of thinking about it." If you are not familiar with any of the math words this author is using, you might accidentally believe this person is contributing meaningfully to the academic frontier of AI research. This article contains completely serious headers like:

> Conjecture: The waluigi eigen-simulacra are attractor states of the LLM.

This is literally nonsense. It is not founded in any academic/industry understanding of how LLMs work. There is no mathematical formalism backing this up. It is, ironically, not unlike the output of LLMs. Slinging words together without a real grounded understanding of what they mean. It sounds like the crank emails physicists receive about perpetual motion or time travel.

> You don't judge models by how silly they sound - parts of quantum mechanics sound very silly! - you judge them by how useful they are when applied to real-world problems.

I absolutely judge models based on how silly they sound. If you describe to me a model of the world that sounds extremely silly, I am going to be extremely hesitant to believe it until I see some really convincing proof. Quantum Mechanics has really convincing proof. This article has NO PROOF! Of anything! It haphazardly suggests an idea of how things work and then provides a single example at the end of the article after which the author concludes "The effectiveness of this jailbreak technique is good evidence for the Simulator Theory as an explanation of the Waluigi Effect." Color me a skeptic but I remain unconvinced by a single screenshot.
Check out DO app platform. It’s literally exactly what you describe.
Is your argument that Workspace is a paid product and therefore won’t be shut down? If yes, let’s keep in mind that Stadia was paid-for too. My trust in the longevity of Google products has been damaged beyond repair.
The US economy is more focused on finance and fossil fuel extraction than Ireland, which easily beats the US in terms of PPP per capita.

Remove resource extraction and financial services from all economies and the list does look different, but the US’s position is still far from #1. Also, PPP comparisons between countries are rather suspect as costs for housing, food, etc vary widely across the US. There’s plenty of ways to run these numbers but the results are surprisingly arbitrary.
"The DSA will effectively outlaw shadow banning (the practice of deprioritizing content without notice), curb cyberviolence against women, and ban targeted advertising for users under 18. There will also be a lot more public data around how recommendation algorithms, advertisements, content, and account management work on the platforms, shedding new light on how the biggest tech companies operate"

Although it comes very late, better than never. I think this bill is fantastic. It brings important decisions on how platforms work from tech companies to the public, which is where they ought to belong in the first place.

>Very cursory example is the price of gas, for a country with the 3rd highest reserves in the world, and the addition of a carbon tax, while inflation is at record highs, when the Canadian footprint is negligible in comparison to the amount of trees here working as a carbon sink.

1. "Addition of a carbon" tax is highly misleading because it was enacted almost half a decade ago, and while there was an increase in carbon taxes during an inflationary period, that was scheduled years before.[1]

2. Dropping carbon (or similar) taxes to fight inflation is terrible policy. It's untargeted, benefits rich people more (the more gas you use the more you benefit), and encourages more consumption by lowering prices. If you want to provide relief, targeted subsidies work far better.

3. Carbon in the atmosphere is fungible so whether there are trees or not in your country is irrelevant. If your country is pumping 20 tons (or whatever) of carbon into the air, that's still 20 tons of carbon that's heating the atmosphere, or 20 tons that a developing country can no longer emit.

4. Forests are "carbon sinks" in the sense that if you keep them around you'll keep a lot of co2 from entering the atmosphere, but mature forests don't suck much carbon out of the atmosphere (on net).

Finally some sense. There are so many senseless IPv4 shills here. IPv6 always works, never had a problem with it.

Just switch to it alrready.
How are we defining capitalism here? Because, you know, people are still getting paid for the work they are doing.
I played this game on OSX, Windows and Linux using Chrome.

The game is a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable to play on OSX. I reckon it has something to do with the input handling.
Was available on Linux, yes. Performed much worse though, AFAIK.
Rails provides a sensible and productive pattern for MVP but doesn't provide much guidance past a certain complexity level (Service Objects etc). Once the app grows past a certain size, more bespoke architecture needs to be applied and this will live or die on the competence of the team. Spaghetti code is not inevitable but can result from devs who are used to the hand-holding of less complex Rails apps.

Dunno where you are pulling docker from, that is completely orthogonal to Rails development.

Fly Machines, if I understand them correctly, feels like a step backwards. Sure they might work better than "standard" Fly apps, but one of the motivating cases for Fly is being able to effortlessly scale across the world without having a Ph.D. in CS and a fistful of certs for Cloud engineering. That vision for Fly is awesome, game changing even, ignoring their current stability issues.

Machines isn't that. From the documentation, it appears as though it's "just" a VM pinned to a single region and none of the "magic" of Fly really applies. If the server your VM is hosted on goes down, Fly won't redeploy your container. It's just downtime. Spinning up in other regions is something you have to think about and actually do. It seems closer to Heroku than it does Fly.

Maybe I am totally misunderstanding Fly Machines and their use-case, maybe they're aiming to close the gap between Machines and Fly apps. It's just a bit of a bummer to see something that looks like walking back the original "promise" of Fly and makes me question whether or not Fly is going to just become like every other PaaS (even if it's a really good one).
>Interesting how everyone was calling musk a madman for paid twitter accounts and suddenly its a trend.

I think you are taking a very interesting spin on the situation and leaving out many factors; notable blowing up advertising revenue to the tune of several hundred million dollars per year in exchange for a program that is now pulling ~30M/year.
>Why would I want publically routable addresses

Hate to break it to you but that is how the internet was intended to work for end-users. Firewalls are cheap and easy to install :)
Care to elaborate? Without context, your comment doesn’t really tell us anything useful to make a decision or verdict on.
Well the devices that support 464xlat already support IPv6 by definition. CG-NAT/464XLAT+Client NAT at the gateway is for the devices like the Rokus that don't support IPv6 at all.
I really like this, the simplicity is really refreshing.

Nothing to do with the article, but it would be nice if Slack (or IOS/Android) offered better customization of notifications. Errors and warnings are indistinguishable from regular messages on mobile, which means they often get lost in the shuffle.
If you have multiple subnets, you almost certainly have an advanced enough router that it supports mDNS forwarding. There's no reason why it can't work across a VPN either.
> if you have a gigabit connection, most home routers can barely handle the load of NAT

We are on AT&T Fiber, the router has no issues. I've never seen a router have issues with any speed for that matter, where NAT is concerned.

> That's why gamers push for IPv6.

I'm a gamer, I know a lot of gamers, no one is pushing for IPv6 that I'm aware of.
Wow, that's brutal. Not much more can be said.
But the syntax is precisely the only thing a language can give you that a library cannot.

This might be true on a similar level to all Turing-complete languages being equivalent, but I’m not sure how useful it is beyond that level. For example, the features that a language provides as directly supported building blocks and the guarantees a language makes about how certain entities will or won’t behave and relate to each other profoundly affects the developer’s experience. That remains true even if some of those features could eventually have been recreated with a library modulo syntax and even if a perfect programmer would always use them properly and never rely on the language to prevent a mistake.

1 happens every fucking day, hell wasn't there an article today about people who have older equipment that depend on floppy disks and how hard it is to find reliable disks these days? The article discussed an older embroidery machine, the only way to supply it with patterns to embroider was 3.5 inch floppy. His are starting to fail. But this is also true of older samplers, drum machines, synthesizers, etc.

Sometimes someone manages to spin up new manufacturing of retro components or things to replace the retro components (there are a few pcbs running around that can replace floppy drives that conform to certain interfaces with usb sticks or sd cards or even a network): Vacuum tubes, parts for vintage cars, parts for vintage watches, vinyl records, etc. but often before that happens the entire known supply needs to be scavenged.

So I can imagine a world where we manage to start doing the things we are doing with some new technology that is not digital silicon based computers that run on electricity. But there will be edges where the new technology is not compatible with some system, and in that edge lives this kind of speculation.
It may be time to recognize that the one China policy which the US has supported has essentially doomed Taiwan. Sure we had some laughs and a lot of people made many billions of dollars off the backs of Chinese slaves, but there is no resisting the PRC’s power and might - power and might that the United States, or more accurately a clique of business people and government functionaries here, have nurtured.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. It can surprising why a business actually exists. It can be counterintuitive(i.e. the mcdonald's is actually a real estate company conundrum). Even the "Product Engineer" guy who can probably talk up a storm about the financials of what he is doing, but in a Fortune 500 business does he really understand how that rolls up to the company's strategy? Is it a side line, is the landscape in transition and this is a existential hail mary? At one point facebook made no money, then they made all their money from placement ads, last I checked they made it from video interstitials. Of their 50,000 employees how many really know the revenue breakdown and how it has changed over time
It is concerning that they feel notifying a problem on the status page hurts their ego. It is under no circumstances something personal, and ideally it should even be automated.
That was actually one of the announcements made! Seems to be a Sims clone, in the early stages of development. I'm honestly looking forwards to it, rather than spending 1,000$ on Sims 4 on Steam.
The real risk with renting to a person is if they refuse to pay and refuse to leave. Most places you still have to let them live there for several months while you go through the eviction process. And in retaliation they can destroy your house.
Can anyone explain how this improves on a relational database?

The concepts (nodes, edges, etc...) can all be represented in a traditional relational database using tables and foreign keys.

What is the advantage of a graph database?
NAT64 doesn't work if the connection is made to a hardcoded IP(v4) address rather than DNS entry, and that's way more common than you'd think! Thus why 464XLAT and similar exist.
Speaking for myself, but my main barrier to IPv6 adoption is my ISP (Wave/Astound, Seattle eastside) still being IPv4-only, despite having DOCSIS3.1 service.

I didn’t think it was even possible to have DOCSUS3.1 without IPv6 :S
If you're primarily targeting Python as an application layer, you may also want to check out my msgspec library[1]. All the perf benefits of e.g. yyjson, but with schema validation like pydantic. It regularly benchmarks[2] as the fastest JSON library for Python. Much of the overhead of decoding JSON -> Python comes from the python layer, and msgspec employs every trick I know to minimize that overhead. </sales pitch>

Probably a completely idiotic suggestion, but why can't the US secretly provide Taiwan with a few nukes if things really heat up as a very last measure to deter China.
Ah I see. Then yeah, that's a little rough to be doing in both JS and Rust.

I agree; I like simpler approaches first. Then - if needs grow - one can grow/evolve to more complxity, but only if even needed.

Also, I used to use emails as notifications for many, many years...but lately have been using my own little matrix cli app/script[1]. I'm such a fan of matrix nowadays. Also, I stopped sending a full log file, and merely send only a snippet...Often, its enough for me to get the gist of what is happening. And, if certain thresholds exceed beyond crazy levels, then the messages become more urgent from my machines. :-)

I remember, back in the days when slashdot was the sole filler of the role now dominated by Hacker News, people would sarcastically respond to ideas for how to "solve spam" with a long list of things, checking whichever options applied this time.

I wonder how such forms would be filled out these days, in response to ideas like these?

You buy a cheap house far away from where you work, and rent it to someone. Let them pay your mortgage and before you know it, you've got enough equity to put towards another house. Rinse and repeat.

What I don't get is that to invade Taiwan, China needs a large amount of ships and cargo planes, both of which seem very vulnerable to modern missiles (as the Russian army found out in Ukraine). Do the chinese have a solution for that?
"Applications without a cover letter will not be considered"
Should let people know that your application will go straight into the bin even you have a cover letter. Why even make people go through that hassle?
Ah yes, especially that.
To "jump forward" you can just stand: once you reach 24:39:00 the seconds arm stops over zero, waiting for another 35.2 seconds; at 21 seconds before midnight the minutes arm gets picked up by the seconds gear and advances one display minute per second of time, until midnight is reached (thus readable as a "seconds to midnight" movement in settings such as New Years). I have seen more complex motions implemented in wrist-watches so it seems doable.

I'm not yet entirely sold on the moving dial principle, I've placed my wristwatch upside down on my hand and trying to read it gave me a headache. The angle the hands make with the line of sight is indeed not very relevant, but their relative position to the fixed known elements of the dial feels essential.
> All they need to do is look at what happened in Hong Kong.

Maybe I am diving too much into the weeds here, but my understanding with HK is when the UK left and setup autonomous region with China in 1984, China/UK agree to leave the gov unchanged for 50 years after 1997 [0]. This interim government that was setup is controlled by CCP members.

My understanding is the Taiwan gov has always been completely separate from HK's.

whether or not housing should be an investment, it is. legislation and culture have grown around this idea for decades. sometimes the only way to win is actually to play the game.

the nice part of housing being and investment is that you can live in it.

you wouldn’t treat your index funds like a pet, so don’t treat your house like one either.

buy houses that are newish to avoid maintenance. take out a heloc immediately just in case you need cash later. sell as soon as you max out the tax free profit on a home sale.

if you work remote, be open to moving around. compare new housing in dallas vs austin as an example. it’s like that everywhere. look in the town over, the state over, and in random locations too.
It’s not just that ipv6 is publicly routable but rather the mistrust of ipv6 itself. There have been a multitude of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities with ipv6 many in embedded devices that are not getting patched.

Turn on ipv6 and all of these vulnerabilities are instantly exploitable. It’s not a matter of filtering as some of these vulnerabilities are in parts of the icmpv6 required for configuration. For an alarming example check out some of the rtos vulns back in 2020.
Also you can prepare a meal in a crockpot and let it cook all day.

You can prepare and freeze meals.
Agree. Kurt's mentioned on the forums that autoscale is coming to Fly Machines. They haven't implemented it just yet.

Even without autoscale, spinning up Machine clones in any of the 30+ Fly regions is as easy an instant scale-out you'll likely come across on any of the NewCloud platforms.
How that urban area came to be is highly political. How it evolves is as well.
That graph also shows another interesting bit: it seems that IPv6 usage is higher on weekends — i.e. home internet connections. So it's even worse that Roku of all people doesn't support IPv6, considering IPv6 is ahead in homes.
Rust has different rules. 0.x.y isn't compatible x-wise, but it is supposed to be compatible y-wise.
I guess I’m just default cynical these days seeing how much money’s still floating around and the scale of the cloud big 3. Apologies, it wasn’t personal. I admire your vision and hope it can work, money always seems to talk eventually though. We need more companies that have the nerve to hold on and develop on their own.
The rest of their "Haha, you bought one of our devices, all your data is ours!" policy doesn't give me much cause to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

At least some people [0] have reported their Roku device scanning their network, which is explicitly allowed in that policy. Though you can probably do a lot of it passively without leaving those annoying traces.

Once they've granted themselves permissions to do it, why wouldn't you? Knowing a house is an Apple household with a lot of devices probably means they've got money, or at least a willingness to take on debt. You can get a sense of when devices come and go to help identify activity, and if you're particularly annoying, you could snoop wireless signal strength of other devices on the LAN to get an idea of who's in the room with you.

If it's only got a few Androids and Chromebooks, well, probably lower income. If you can't find a thing on the LAN, you're probably in the house of a computer security researcher and should behave. Etc.

If they meant to say "We watch for UPNP announcements to identify other content sources on your LAN," they could have said that. But they didn't. They left the door wide open to do whatever home LAN analysis they think they can get away with.

I mean, this is a company whose response to the "Do Not Track" bit is to ignore you [1]. No standards? It's literally in the name.
