But some quick references... One approach is to avoid algorithmic surfacing of UGC outside of one's own network (or secondary connections etc), which makes discovery harder (must be compensated in other ways). Twitter may explore similar ideas with pluggable algorithms (though I don't trust them). Another approach is to constrain UGC: eg a music/audio community which has barriers to sharing new audio outside your network, but which freely allows remixing and promoting remixed audio of known good audio without as much safety control over the remixes because the operations allowed on the "good" source material make it difficult to subvert. This kind of idea is at the core of a product concept, not an additional layer to tack on later. I believe that finding these kind of cheaper ways of managing UGC and lending discovery to UGC can be a huge competitive edge.
The article mentions cases where this is not true - e.g. hospitals, where elevators are configured to stay open much longer than the minimum.

Sure, but the value of logit matching is that it allows the smaller model to access richer representations that it has sufficient capacity to express but insufficient capacity to learn. In this case, we're not trying to distill the full capabilities of the large model. We just want to mimic instruction following, and we don't have any reason to believe the smaller model has insufficient capacity. So doesn't the lesson of knowledge distillation tell us that this should work just by matching low temperature logits (in other words, matching argmax only)? I don't see how this is fundamentally different from the standard knowledge distillation setting - it's just an easier instance of it
Utterly confusing messaging from Docker once again, and this is from a prior advocate for early Docker, and part of their Captains program for several years.

The wording seems clear that they are going to delete all data and lock access unless payment is received within 30 days, whether there are public or private repos in the organisation.

I pay for a personal account, however my main concern is people taking over the official account names and publishing poison images which people are used to pulling already, and won't even think to check if the account ownership has changed.

Ask HN: Is anyone use Cloud based SQL databases anymore?
Almost all of greenfield projects that I see in my team are using nosql.
The senior developers and architects I interact with often making a case that the simplicity of no schema and the lack of complexity in designing a relation schema. Even when the tradeoff are called out (lack of complex joins and more cost).

So I am curious if that is the slowly becoming the industry norm or now?

Is anyone using nosql databases in the cloud any more ? If yes then what for what use case ?

Based on my experience, the door close button seems to work as expected at my office. Press the button, and the doors close much more quickly than they usually do.

As for crossing buttons... generally they do work in the UK. It's just that if the crossing is in the middle of a normal road (read, where there's no reason for the lights to change automatically) it's required, whereas if the crossing is at a junction, it'll merely display the signal to cross whenever the lights would be set to change anyway.

I mostly saw VCs, techies and tech bros here and many HNers and especially YC screaming at the government to save their pyramid scheme of funding for unprofitable startups who failed to read the FDIC insurance deposit limit of a failed bank.

Quite funny to see the techies here panicking all over Twitter and on HN around the collapse.
So what makes this better than Streamlit for example? Either today or in the future
So "consumers" are always said to "pay" as companies "pass through" increased costs due to goods, regulations, etc., but that doesn't apply here to all the taxpayers who use banking and are subject to increased FDIC insurance costs? And taking underwater, low-interest debt on the books at face value costs taxpayers overtime through inflation even if we get "paid back with interest". Why don't private buyers want this debt? Because they'd rather have dollars to buy better paying debt which the taxpayers currently provide. The BTFP will rapidly grow over $25B and be used to recapitalize the banks at taxpayers expense.[1]. Someones got to pay for the unrealized losses if depositors won't take a haircut. [2]

So personally, I fundamentally disagree with the statement "no losses borne by the taxpayer," believe this is used to obfuscate the issue, and am sad to see our treasury play this game. But it is standard fare these days, especially when people think they are protecting us from a banking run and the next great depression. But my concern is these measures lead to more economic inequality, populism, and eventual political turmoil.

We’re all obsessing here about the door close button while a surprisingly large number habe trouble understanding the up/down buttons.

It seems to me that your description confirms that this was mostly caused by the technical decision to use rather unusual architecture for the PS3. With the PS4->PS5 compatibility it also feels from the outside like they genuinely didn't know for certain and the internal verification process want going as planned. Very different from an anti-consumer money grab
Gitlab registry is utterly annoying with it's confusing namespacing.

You can retrieve small amounts of specific information this way. But suppose the model was asked to write code in a new programming language that it doesn't have existing knowledge of. Could it do that given unguided access to the docs?
At this point I stay far away from anything Docker Inc. Podman already has an architecture that makes way more sense on Linux. There are plenty of free alternatives for image registries, but self hosting is also super easy (I mean why not just run a registry container and be done with it).

> My understanding that at the time, and most of history war, what we think of as war crimes were a standard practice of war.

Nah. They werent - Romans were famous for being particularly brutal even in their time. Which was one of the reasons for their easier conquest against weaker targets. Much better to become a Roman province or client state than get yourself conquered a few years later, half of your population enslaved and exported and the other half sent to work in the local mines.

Solely what Julius Caesar did in Gaul would give shivers to even his contemporaries. That's why he so slyly wrote the history of his own Gallic conquest himself - to shape the narrative.

There were other societies in history that employed brutal 'conqueror's rights' formats, like Assyrians, and after Assyrians this became kind of standard practice in Near East. But even Assyrians were not as brutal as Romans, who even discarded their unwanted babies into a trash pile outside their cities.

> It seems strange to me to tag the end of an article about a large scale war and saying "hey this one group committed war crimes" and just leave it at that if you're not talking about specific events.

For any other society or period, you might need to do that. But the atrocious behavior in Roman practices was so widespread that there would be no end to it if you started detailing the acts individually. Granted, what you described is something that is obvious to students of history, but its not so obvious to the general public.

I have (had?) a lot of friends there, some of whom have emigrated permanently, some have moved here to Kazakhstan when Putin declared his "partial mobilization", and have returned when it was declared over (although it isn't over legally…) If you haven't spoken up publicly against the war or did anything else that might endanger you personally, it has been quite safe to return to the country for the past few months. Of course, this could change in a moment — when rumors of upcoming mobilization started, my friends had less than a day to leave the country safely before the border service started selectively checking documents against mobilization lists.

yes, cert pinning, DNS over https, and encrypted DNS can make it much harder to see what the software on your network is doing. even just verifying ssl certificates client side is enough in most instances.

Seriously!

If the content of your email could have been generated using an AI trained on publicly available information, it necessarily must not include anything private.

Which means you are spam messaging your new hires with messages that contain zero actual information!

Noise is a word that does not even properly capture the uselessness of such communications. I swear, many humans seem to just want filler text to put places, and they just keep shoving it there.

Anyone read blindsight by Peter Watts? Spoiler alert: an entire science fiction book written around the fact that sending useless information to hyperintelligent beings could be interpreted as an intentional distraction and therefore a threat.
Because our society operates on money. The brilliant startup founder working on the next revolution in computing still needs to pay for breakfast, still needs to pay for drinks, still needs to make rent. Even if they don't pay out of their own pocket, there's money moving around somewhere. So when the money side has problems, thanks to the modern miracle of the Internet, you're gonna hear about the money side's problems. That doesn't mean the startup world's devolved, it just means that theres a big of problem on the money side of things. There was never a world where money wasn't involved in some way, even way back in the day when Apple started. They needed money to buy the parts to build the original Apple I and the money for that came from investors like Mike Markkula who was at Intel before he was at Apple. There is some cognitive dissonance that occurs when you realize your VC has investments in other companies that are very similar to yours, and that the money people are in it for the money, but that's nothing new.

The worst thing about this is how many comments I read saying that startups shouldn't have kept their payroll money in a bank in excess of $250k. When your startup is a handful of people, who's really got time to focus on that, unless what you're really focusing on is financial movements and shenanigans, to the detriment of technological innovation.

It's really unclear but from this paragraph in the email it sounds like the whole organization will be "subject to deletion":

> If you don’t upgrade to a paid subscription, Docker will retain your organization data for 30 days, after which it will be subject to deletion. During that time, you will maintain access to any images in your public repositories, though rate limitations will apply. At any point during the 30-day period, you can restore access to your organization account if you upgrade to a paid subscription.

I think this is really good intuition on what the Fed effectively does. When it's really easy to teleport money from the future, all that money competes in the present for a limited supply of good. This causes inflation and reduces margins and can cause profitable endeavors to become non-profitable "hobbies."*

Increased interest rates suck up this money because now there is something better to do with that money. Why "Do Stuff" when the returns on doing stuff is less than the ultra high savings yield you are now being offered.

It's virtuous when the stuff being done actually is destructive due to easy access to capital (e.g. 100 Ramen shops driving each other into further and further debt) but it's also a ham-fisted solution. It disrupts long term planning, even relatively conservative ones like "buy government bonds", and also just punts the problem b/c it's reducing demand by... promising more money in the future.
And that’s why Zuck is wrong. The reality we exist in is not constrained by human constructs.

How often do you run into this? I just don't really. I remember in my earlier days I did a bit because of some pinned package versions prevalent in macOS but when I switched to using Nix this went away, so I haven't run into any OS issues since... I think Catalina.

> Apple doesn't seem to care even remotely about users like me, and that's perfectly within their rights. The logical thing for me was to use something else.

That's totally fair. I love my MacBook, but I also have not run into the same struggles. I think my experience has been the complete opposite - once I configured it properly, it not only "just works", but I've yet to find a laptop that connects other aspects so seamlessly (AirPods, FaceTime, iMessage, Notes are all killer features in my day-to-day). Additionally, since switching to the M1, I have yet to find a laptop comparable in battery life (speed is generally matched when considering prices).
