You could reply to my comment instead of obliquely referencing it here.

>this very clear and explicit definition

This is a definition of an exchange (specifically a securities exchange), but nobody is contesting that Coinbase has an exchange product, just whether the assets for which they operate the exchange are securities or not.

Coinbase Earn is not "bringing together purchasers and sellers", because people staking their crypto are doing neither. Putting up some collateral in exchange for the privilege to validate blocks and collect a reward for doing so cannot possibly fall under a reasonable function "commonly performed by a stock exchange".
Maybe I'm missing something but weren't there plenty of people "stupid" enough to invest in junk mortgage loans? So many that it ended up causing a crisis?
Your comment only applies to the LLMs of today. Consider how much more bullshit the best natural language bot generated 10 years ago. The bullshit produced is dropping at an incredible rate. In a few short years we could very well have highly accurate expert AIs trained in virtually every field. Humans would be the ones generating bullshit and these bots would be used to spot it.
Profits, not revenue. But the point remains.
> It was very expensive and operationally complicated to self-host k8s, so they decided to build their own orchestration tooling?

You are deeply misunderstanding Kubernetes if you think it's some sort of a turnkey solution that solves all your infrastructure problems. Virtually everything of value in Kubernetes isn't Kubernetes -- you have to add it on later, and manage it yourself. Container runtime? -- that's not Kubernetes. Database to store deployment info? -- that's not Kubernetes. Network setup and management? -- that's not Kubernetes. Storage setup and management? -- still not Kubernetes.

When you start using Kubernetes for real, you will end up replacing almost every component it brings by default with something else. CoreDNS? -- sucks for big systems. Volumes? You aren't going to be using volumes from local filesystem... that's insane! You'll probably set up Ceph or something like that and add some operators to help you use it. Permission management? -- Well, you are out of luck in a major way here... you have, basically, Kyverno, but it really, really sucks (and it's still not Kubernetes!).

Real-life Kubernetes deployments end up being very poorly stitched together piles of different components. So much so that you start wishing you'd never touched that thing because a huge fraction of the stuff you now need to manage is integration with Kubernetes on top of the functionality provided by these components.

That answers my question, they can afford it if they wanted to. Obviously they don't want to. I'm in their camp when it comes to the cloud vs own hardware.

It is worth noting that the second phase costs even more per mile to build, despite the fact that pretty much all the tunnels already exist from an earlier attempt, are structurally intact, and will be reused.
Docker Swarm Still Thriving Three Years After Mirantis Acquisition (2022)
I even put a whole section with that old debate in Inventing the Future (Janet, working at Xerox, is arguing with her husband Ken, who's at Hughes Aircraft):

==============

She’d heard that the product Xerox was going to ship was aiming for 20 megabits.1 It was amazing. But, as people at Xerox explained, imagine an entire office full of knowledge workers with their own computers, sending documents and email to each other and to the printer. How much bandwidth would they need? A lot! Someone in Palo Alto had done a whiteboard exercise on the bandwidth required for teleportation, in other words, sending an entire human being through the wire. It wasn’t that they took the prospect of teleportation seriously, but still, it was fun, and she enjoyed being around people who had fun at work.

Ken scoffed and insisted that Ethernet would never work. This was a recurring argument with them that was starting to annoy her, although usually she’d just smile and change the subject. He kept hurling the word deterministic as if it were a magic talisman. On the Ethernet, you weren’t certain how long you’d have to wait to transmit your data. If the wire was busy when you wanted to talk, you had to wait.

If someone else tried to transmit exactly when you did, you both had to back off and try again. An engineer could give you the probabilities of various results, but no more. This was not real engineering, and Ken was offended by it. He was even offended by the word “ether” since any beginning physics student knows that ether was a bogus concept that was disproven ages ago.

The entire communications field that the two of them had studied at MIT was based on strict mathematical calculations and guarantees. For example, when you make a telephone connection, that circuit is yours until you’re done. No other calls interfere with yours. The telephone companies had spent decades perfecting this system, and they had a monopoly. How could any company, even one as big as Xerox, hope to change that?

She tried telling him that packet-switching was a real discipline, and the Defense Department itself was backing it. It was originally designed to survive a nuclear attack that destroyed some of the military’s communications lines. With packet switching, the message was broken up into pieces, or packets, and the packets might arrive on separate paths. Ken didn’t believe it would ever have commercial applications. People in aerospace had a low opinion of commercial stuff anyway. 1 The original speed goal for the Xerox Wire was 20 megabits/sec. The first controller, for the Dolphin, had independent send and receive buffers, but could only be made to fit on the board using 10-Mbps CRC chips from Fairchild. Furthermore, in the lab, Tony found that 20-Mbps signaling caused spurious collision detects on the cable due to transceiver tap reflections.
Barebones llama is just a text completion model. You can give it a prompt like

A conversation between a human and assistant

Human: How old is the sun?
Assistant:

And it will complete it.

Alpaca/Dalai are finetuned on a dataset that's formatted as this:

### Instruction: {instruction}

### Input: {input}

### Response:

So even without pre-prompting in this format it's going to be heavily biased towards performing completions in this format anyways.

It's always helpful to finetune on a preformatted prompt depending on what your task is.

Supermarkets should not have to disclose their COST prices, because these are non public negotiations, not a public offer to buy/sell. That so many people wilfully choose not to understand this distinction frustrates useful conversation.
Consolidating lots is hard to do, because you have to be able to buy out other landowners, and they have to be willing to sell. Obtaining air rights is far easier. And the basic land plot unit in the New York grid is only 25 by 100 ft.

It’s not even a law, it’s the SEC own agency opinion that has been successfully challenged and failed multiple times. However they can easily extract fines for SEC profits by threatening expensive and time consuming court battles which they would ultimately lose. But for most people, paying the fine is cheaper than winning in court.

There needs to be a law that if the SEC loses a case, they must pay the defendant a fine equal to what they wanted the defendant to pay the SEC.
The ape brain doesn't have a separate category for 'people you see on TV' and 'people you work with', celebrities are stored in the same place as your friends except the nature of parasocial relations seems to polarize their status; such that these people are seen as very high or very low status.

This shouldn't matter as long as everything is tagged with the real colorspace; it'll get converted.

If you forget to do that you can have issues like forgetting to clip floating point values to 1.0 and then you get HDR super-white when you expected 100% white.

The reason you rarely see offices turned into housing is they don’t have enough plumbing or windows to be residences. It’s almost always cheaper to tear the buildings down and start over than try to retrofit.

Show HN: Open-source budgeting CLI in TypeScript

> Hmm her fund has gotten totally clobbered since early 2021. If she were truly privy to insider info, why would her fund do so bad?

The claim is she knew about this information based off the timing of the trade. It’s not evidence but it’s certainly suspicious.

It does not follow that she would necessarily know enough other information to perform well. That’s a much higher bar, especially when tech has been pretty deep in the red.
It will be a book.
It is. As far as I can tell, Hacker News is not designed to be addictive, the site doesn't push 10 seconds clips to keep you scrolling, if you find something interesting you stay otherwise you leave, there is no algorithm to recommend the best article for you.
There are no groups/pages to subscribe to, the threads get pushed by the users.
I believe this is infinitely better than the way Instagram or Tiktok work, sure you can find interesting people there too but you'd have to put up with an uncomfortable amount of nonsense and I don't know if you're really willing to make that sacrifice when better alternatives exist.
You missed one key detail: Canonical never depended on Microsoft's money to operate. Mozilla does depend on Google's money for everything, including the R&D resources that would be required for them to develop the use cases that you are suggesting.

Uh, the areas with the least difficulty paying the bills don't look politically all that different than those with the most difficulty. I'd guess this is more about rapidly-rising cost-of-living in urban areas and wage stagnation than national politics.
I have to imagine part of the reason they need to run so many servers is because they are running Ruby. The same application on say, Elixir, probably would require less hardware, reducing the cost of ECS or similar.
Omg, they could have literally just solved all of this by choosing Cloud Run (a thin wrapper on top of Knative) rather than running GKE directly.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Maybe Google could benefit from having you train customer service for a few days ;)

> you don’t really want to be noisy with how you’re using an exploit because then people will catch on and try to defend against it

My initial reaction was that the vulnerability was already published so why would they care, but I can also imagine how the actual payload could be something to hide as well. That said, couldn't an exploit simply turn off security updates? It sounds like this vuln has full access to everything on the phone.

> In the very rare cases you see actual 0-days used

But that's the issue--it's not a 0-day. It was publicized before the patch went out for millions of users. Was the patch force-updated for everyone else? If not, that number of unpatched users is probably an order of magnitude greater.

This isn't an issue of some state-level actors sitting on a secret 0-day, it's a use-it-or-lose-it moment for anyone who's heard about it straight from Google's mouth.

Full access to SMS 2fa and email accounts seems like everything. That gives you access to most people's bank accounts. You could search emails for crypto accounts and MITM non-SMS 2fa apps if you have root access to the phone. Sending money requests to contacts using real names. I could think of a million ways to use root access. I don't know the cost of exploiting this vulnerability, but I know that sort of access is valuable to a lot of people.

Why wouldn't this have been a goldrush to exploit by unsophisticated attackers? Maybe I'm missing something?
If that were the whole definition of a security, then interest-bearing savings accounts would be considered a SEC-regulated security. But they aren’t, for a very simple reason also outlined in securities law: They have no term nor maturity. Money can be withdrawn at will. There is no obligation to keep your money deposited in order to get paid for the time it has already been deposited.

It isn’t clear to me how this is different from a savings account, which are not even in the legal jurisdiction of the SEC.

This honestly smells of the usual turf war bullshit between the CFTC and SEC, just like the one that cause forex brokerages to completely separate from securities brokerages. The SEC wanted control over forex but they couldn’t have it, so they regulated the shit out of securities brokerages in order to twist the CFTCs arms.
> The blurry thumbnails have 2 issues 1) trick person into thinking they're loaded

But is _not_ showing blurry thumbnails during image loading any better in that regard?

- an empty area would give the false impression there isn't any image at all

- a half-loaded image would give the false impression the image is supposed to be like that / cropped

- if e.g. the image element doesn't have explicit width and height attributes, and its dimensions are derived from the image's intrinsic dimensions, there will be jarring layout shifts

> 2) have a meaning that content is blocked from viewing

For you maybe. And even when so, so what? Page context, users' familiarity with the page, and the full images eventually appearing will make sure this is at most is only a temporary and short false belief.

regular (non-secure) hash functions do two things: they compress (very lossily) and they make things that are near each other in their domain (inputs) map to things that are far apart in their codomain (outputs).

On the second point, it's a good warning to never rest on your laurels.

> the government should not protect people from their own negligence or ignorance - The system relies on keeping capital in the hands of intelligent, knowledgeable people

You contradict yourself, "not protecting people" means keeping capital in the hands of fraudsters, not "intelligent, knowledgeable people".
Yes, conjecture. Nobody knows for sure what will happen (although some claim they do).

As someone else pointed out,

> Calls for extreme curtailment of fossil fuel usage for example would lower quality of life beyond what global warming will do.

is also conjecture. If you were to insist on adding a pejorative to that, I suggest "pure conjecture and climate denialism". However, continuing the discussion like this is clearly a waste of time.

You probably think your conjecture is more plausible than mine. But you haven't argued that it is or why you think that. And even if it is more plausible, a cost-benefit analysis also takes into account the cost. How unlikely does my scenario have to be to counterbalance the potential insane loss of value?

It's also not clear what you mean by "extreme". Some people still think "phasing out fossil fuels ever" is extreme. Is "net zero by 2050" extreme? I absolutely think the word is appropriate, but that a desperate situation requires extreme measures.

Been using for years, great piece of software.
We're talking about a product that has existed since 2004. They did:

* Their own data center, before Docker existed

* The non-K8s Docker way of deploying in AWS

* The GCP, and then AWS, ways of doing K8s Docker

* Docker in their own data center.

For 20 years of deployment, that doesn't look crazy to me.

The actual components of each environment are pretty standard. They wrote Capistrano, which predates Chef. Filebeat is a tiny part of ELK, which is the de facto standard logging stack. They use a smart reverse proxy, like... everybody else. It's easy to anything sound complicated if you expand the stack to as many acronyms as you can.
The problem is that the surface area for k8s is too large for one person to truly understand it. Sure, you can get up and running in a few days, but good luck when your cluster mysteriously stops working and ignores all kubectl commands.
