Ask HN: Is the installation syslog acceptable to start Ubuntu?
I'm preparing a new ThinkPad E14 for programming, and installed Ubuntu-Mate 22.04.02 in dual boot with Windows 10. Upon first
dual boot bootup Ubuntu worked apparently ok, but I'm worried whether it is still installed correctly.

I examined the installation syslog a bit and searched for "error" messages (pasted below).
Ubuntu Mate was supposed to be installed on the partition #5 of /dev/nvme0n1

yes its the inverted power law thing - the same dynamics that make 1/n approach work in a VC equity portfolio seems like poison in a debt portfolio - only one company out of n survives? fine if that company pops on the equity side, that pays for all the other losers. but on the debt side, it seems like a bad idea lol.

That's not ironic, it is perfectly consistent with the phenomena of motion sickness -- sight not correlating to motion. Irony is when Ronald Reagan got a gunshot wound when the bullet bounced off the bulletproof window and hit him in the chest.
My favored hypothesis is that the videos released by the government are known by the government to be mundane, and they were publicly released because they got sick of responding to FOIA requests about it. The demand for the release and subsequent narratives around the release have been driven by true believers, who are more than a little kooky. See: "Skinwalker Ranch"
Hey, if Apple can be recognized as the inventor of the GUI...
Bot traffic could (and has) massively DDOSed the site, it’s only prudent to put Cloudflare in front of it.
I can reply. I work with Namecheap. Will reach out to the OP.
It's a little frustrating how it's the norm in the game industry for companies to toss a binary over the wall and maybe patch it for a short period after release (not a given, ports in particular are vulnerable to being forever stuck at 1.0), with significant technical updates being out of the question until it's been long enough for them to try to sell you a remaster.

Not having any experience in that industry, I wonder what the driving forces of this are. I suspect it's some combination of incredibly brittle codebases that cease to build if glanced at the wrong way and aversion to spending anything on games post-release.
That's the point - it's an end-run around the existing police institutions and unions, etc.

Both destinations - the communities that one polices in during the five year "public service" stint and the eventual destination communities with the subsidized housing - would create their own rules as to what constitutes "exemplary behavior".

There is nothing that the existing policing structures can offer that trumps subsidized home ownership in an affluent/upscale community. The officers will listen to the community and follow their rules.

Note: this is a very rough first expression of an idea I've been kicking around for a while so I will admit it's a little rough around the edges.
NDAs don't work in different countries. We've already learned what hassles there are offshoring IP to China -- who promptly stole it. Ditto for non-competes, stock grants, etc. -- these get very messy across borders. That's fine for L2 support drones or QA box checkers but no way I'm hiring anyone I care about for this purpose.

AI is coming for those roles before they end up in India or PI.

Speaking of NAFTA, that's one of the reasons we're seeing Mexico City as an offshore hub. Better timezone overlap, can usually trust that their credentials are legitimate, and it's not hard to find a (Mexican accented) Spanish speaker in much of the US.

Plus the NAFTA TN visa means if they're good you can easily bring them across the border with no H1B headaches. Cheaper flights, too.
Intelligence.

It puts them on your radar, so when you're later investigating a pipe-bomb mailing spree and come across them again, you know better than to believe the "he would never / but he's such a good boy" you always hear from the parents.
Right, this is what people are arguing about in the issue.

It’s honestly extraordinarily unintuitive and frustrating, and the team’s arguments are more philosophical than practical (along the lines of “typescript will never deviate from JavaScript language specification”). I’m not very sympathetic since the entire language is incompatible with a JS interpreter, and importing from a file that doesn’t actually exist is really poor DevX.

I really wish the TS team had not forced people to decide between ESM (the future of JS modules) or importing files that don’t actually exist everywhere in the codebase.
Did any of you catch my kid's chat title: "Funny office fart story"?
You are aware that openai explicitly says they send the prompts and answers to affiliated parties that read them and rate them to put them back into their reinforcement learning database?
At this point we could even deviate from software development and say this about any job that requires thinking and decision making around a set of rules.

Balaji made more than $1 Million on his bet.. Think about it
But it has to for the crypto bros sniffing last week's BTC bubble to not be under water and out of breath. Balaji, David Sacks, Elon, Peter Thiel and others are astroturfing, using their crypto bro audience, economic collapse because they hold enough BTC to profit from it. This is watching disaster capitalism in the act.

LLMs not existing isn't the reason we don't have UBI or free healthcare, or stipends to pursue passions. I think most people are understandably concerned that the benefits of these new tools will primarily accrue to the tiny elite who can afford to control the compute resources and therefor mediate access to the models.

If LLM replaces a bunch of $DAYJOB you won't have people learning violin, you'll have widespread unemployment and the civil unrest that accompanies it.
Hard disagree. Apple Silicon is by far best in class, but the OS it ships with feels like a toy to me. Can't wait for the hardware to be liberated.
Fundamentally, VR just isn't very social unless all participants have the proper hardware already. Sure, you can have a TV output to see what the headset user is seeing, but the TV-viewing experience is still very different from the headset experience. Not to mention, it looks really jerky and jarring as a non-interactive user.

I feel like VR is a technology that has no idea where it fits into the world. It's cool, but why should anyone care about it before they've put up the money to buy into the ecosystem? It's not like a TV which is an easily shared experience.
Sounds like legitimate business model, and not surprising for a place called "Silicon Valley" Bank?

If SVB can't offer better deals for VCs then nobody can?
This is actually a pragmatic answer I am surprised I have yet to hear before - and it would make perfect sense. Put out a few questions about what these objects are (aliens? advanced tech from another country?) and get the ball rolling on more money. Sometimes the the truth ends up being rather simple.
Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but there's a lot of "buy now" or "sell now" news that seems like straight up market manipulation.
There is a simple and obvious solution, rise the age of retirement.

I was merely commenting on the apparent similarity between the phase transition in ability observed in the brain of primates and artificial neural networks, without necessarily equating the capabilities of the two.

On that note, maybe in the future we will discover some neural architectures that are able to "algorithmically think", who knows.
I think it’s pretty self evident that groups of people working towards a goal are no less a single brain/organism than an individual human doing so. There’s no argument you can make about humans being an individual that doesn’t apply at a scale higher (and this goes all the way up to include all life on Earth imo.)

Language is just another dimension of message passing between neurons. Once I realized this most religions began to make total sense to me, I had been thinking of gods etc as beings existing independent of this universe-but really the just exist on this “plain” of existence stemming from it.
And cars work so well on snow and ice? Some cities in Finland have lots of people cycling in the winter and last I heard they get lots of snow and ice. You can get snow tires for bikes just like you can for cars. You can also plow bike lanes like you can plow the roads.

Frontend seems to involve visual design, which backend obviously doesn't (usually). Other than that, I don't see the difference, as soon as you're working on things more complex than simple static pages. Both will gradually become more efficiently done through smart use of AI tech.

But replacement? ChatGPT and GPT4 can't solve real world problems without heavy time investment of an engineer to prompt-engineer a semi-usable (if lucky) solution that still needs a lot of debugging (so coding yourself is still way faster for sufficiently complex things) and adjustment to your codebase.

Will people get left behind that don't adapt? For sure. That's always the case. If productivity is significantly increased with use of such AI tools, then those that won't use it due to whatever reason, including incompetence, will be let go eventually. All others will be fine, as always. This fear-mongering is actually good for us that can adapt, makes us more valuable.

Let's talk in 2030 again. Then in 2035. Then in 2040. And so on until we have AGI that generates you a new revenue stream just by reading the thoughts of a non-technical middle-manager, by which time we will probably have completely different problems.

People afraid of AI automating things just don't know how it works. I mean, no one does really, but if you went to University and studied AI, statistics, machine learning, deep learning and some of the variations then you'd know that that shit isn't intelligent or magic.

It predicts the most likely next tokens + some randomness based on what's in the training data. It can't do more than that. That it can conjure up well known algorithms and some variations of them that help solve some specific problems that "look complex" is not a surprise, but alas, a mostly useless party trick that scares some people apparently.

Hi there - can you please reply with the ticket number? I work with Namecheap and would like to investigate this further. Thanks so much.
I would suggest doing some research on what happens when you try to raise the bar from the inside. There are countless examples of retaliation, to the point of murder, against people who question the status quo. Often times people who do as you suggest end up quitting in disgust anyway.

If you're jiggling doorknobs and one opens for you, that is generally illegal.

So if there's a URL that isn't normally accessed by the public which has no auth on it, and you stumble across it as part of scanning of the api, then accessing that information is very likely illegal.

If you try to use that information to publicly embarrass the company, you may wind up getting arrested for it.

For the information to be made public, to have a defense you probably need to show that somebody in the company deliberately pressed some kind of "make it public" button. If there's a folder with 999 other documents which the company intended to be public but one of them shouldn't have been included then you've got a lot better leg to stand on.

Your freedom may very well come down to which analogy lawyers can convince a judge to apply. Don't expect the law to act like a computer program with definitive inputs and outputs. You very well may get treated as guilty if you "act guilty". And the bigger risk here is that if you find something like a document which was errantly made public that you may get treated like someone who went jiggling doorknobs and found one that opened for you. There is no definitive line, there is only what a prosecutor can convince a judge.

The defense of "but they had crappy security, I'm just doing a public service letting the public know how bad they are" never flies, and there's a constant trickle of "security researchers" who get charged with hacking crimes for stuff like this.
They're behind Cloudflare, which is very aggressive with its bot filtering. There have been some HN threads about it.
a third option is that balaji already owns tons of bitcoin, and plans on manipulating the btc value just enough to largely compensate for the 1 million $, thus making money.

Just buying 37 BTC anonymously won't have the same effect on the btc price.

Site isn't working.

That said, it seems the core of the issue was that SVB wasn't properly hedged against interest rate hikes.

My question is: why not? I understand that they were without a Chief Risk Officer for the last 10-11 months, but that's not really a problem if you think about it on a more macro-scale - as we've had a near-zero-interest-rate environment for a lot longer than that, so wouldn't the most basic plan of action when rates first hit that low for some officer of the bank to say "gee, these rates are dangerously low...and one day before these 10-year bonds fully mature, rates will probably go up, so shouldn't we take the obvious step to ensure we don't get absolutely fucked if rates go higher again?". I mean, these are bankers we're talking about...their whole job is to identify and manage risks.

EDIT: I am aware there are financial instruments and vehicles that banks' trading desks can't trade, so buying specific ETFs or stocks as a hedge is off the table - but that begs the question - why not go and buy some shorter-dated vehicles such as Treasury Notes that mature a lot faster and are much more liquid?
It should be noted that the original use here is actually wrong. The recent increase in interest rates isn’t really secular. The long run downward trend in rates is a secular trend.
Giving anyone qualified immunity is a bad idea, giving it to cops is just a part of it.
I would bet that emacs has a better chance than vscode of getting the latest features and adopting to trends in 10 years.

For a recent example of adopting to trends, see the amount of time it took for lsp integration to 1) exist in external plugins and then 2) be put into emacs itself after lsp proved to be something that will likely stick around for a bit.

That’s fair, but I’d still argue it’s not a fast blur on a telescope. They had 11 days to collect data so I’d have to be very charitable to call that “fast” at least in the context of comparing it to aircraft sensors.
It seems like it is typical and you need to screen for Database Systems, Concurrent Programming and Network Programming.

I've seen postings even require you have authored OSS and you provide a repo link. I guess you end up with fewer candidates or none.
I was finding it difficult to stick to cycling.

Hearing my plight, an avid cyclist friend of mine suggested me to try a trick:-

Get a 3 way folding cycle such as the Brompton. Now, play around with hybrid modes of transport.

My programmer's brain loves building abstractions neatly on top of each other. Folding my cycle and carrying it onto another form of transport brings a smile to my face every time.

The biggest tower of babel I have achieved so far is this:-

A barge carried my car accross a river. I was sitting in the car with my Brompton next to me.
For larger lots you generally wont be looking at city centers unless you are rich, but almost all bay area cities have larger lots on the outskirts or adjacent areas.

It is all a matter of tradeoffs and the level of urbanization you want. I cant walk to a bar or music venue, but I can still walk to a grocery store and a smaller number of restraints.

Interest rates are up, but property prices are down quite a bit (my house is down about 15%). While last year may have been better, I think is a still a decent market if you have a few 100k saved from a 150k salary, better if you saved more.

Everyone is subject to the whims of society. Traditional societies were never about the goal of "oppressing women", but people fighting for survival. Of course women have the responsibility of bearing children, just as men have responsibilities of providing and going to war etc.

If women have gained more "agency" to reject their responsibilities to society, but men still have many traditional responsibilities, what does that say about the morals and ethics of your society? It's not positive, and you should examine it as a possible cause of this low fertility rate.
You seem to be knowledgeable about the Android situation - what’s the current deal? From what I gathered, android uses a hybrid runtime that has many parts of the code AOT compiled and cached, but can JIT compile as well to suit for a particular device, is my understanding correct?

But yeah, I agree with you, they really should have gone with possibly a simpler JIT compiler and an alternative GC implementation that is more conservative in memory usage.
There is a simple and obvious solution, rise the age of retirement.

When pension schemes were invented (or instiutionalised) at the end of the 19th century, the delta between retirement age (65) and expected age of death was small. This is different now, since people tend to retire before 65 and live to their mid to late 80s on average.
At a societal level, money & taxes are a measure of capacity. If you don't have enough nurses to care for the elderly, it doesn't matter how much taxes and funding you have. Money is a worthless piece of paper if you can't buy what you need with it.

This framing is important. People think we need austerity because social programs are running out of money. But austerity makes the problem worse. A big pile of money is useless if it can't buy what it needs. In the long run the best way to balance the books is to borrow money and spend it on childcare and child tax credits to encourage having children, spending it on nurse training, et cetera.
