Of course, we can trust the megacorps to keep our best interests at heart. It's a well known fact they always consider the long-term effects of their business practices and don't try to extract as much rent as possible from everyone for themselves and their shareholders.

The issue now is, due to the huge cost of training models, the forefront of AI is largely dominated by a small number of corporations with enough capital. They are already using it to extract even more capital, by selling use of these models which are trained on other people's work, largely uncompensated and without consent.

So yeah, people are rightfully miffed about that, and don't want this tech solely in the hands of and benefit of this lot.
If it were really smart it would’ve guessed the largest cities in US/UK since those are the only places it’s available.
Yeah from what I see the perf single thread is 2x lower than the Ryzen 5500 so even with 2x the cores you get more or less the same. Just that the Ryzen has 2x lower TDP.

Still, considering it is like 4-5x times cheaper and uses a mobo with two CPUs (which saves on cost cause you don't need to build 2 boxes) this might be a good idea that I'll strongly look into. Thanks!
Go has a facility for embedding build time files within the resulting binary such that they can be read as if in a runtime file system, because the Go file access routines know about this file system type.

Midgley had to be treated for lead poisoning following one of his demonstrations of how safe leaded fuel was. The fact leaded fuel was unsafe would not have come as a surprise to him or anybody else familiar with its development and risks. I don't give much of any consideration to good or evil, but I do to ethics and values. And our society's leaders, corporate and political, have been woefully absent of them for some time, in a trend that seems to be clearly rapidly worsening.

So in that regard I do agree that people of times past were, more or less, the same as today. Yet even the most cursory glance of our history, outside of what is taught in history class, is something that would emphasize that that belief is anything but nice to hold!

> maintain security? built-in firewall and DDoS protection?

I have a Hetzner dedicated server (not the Cloud offering) and I setup OpnSense as an all-in-one routing and firewall solution in a separate VM. All incoming and outgoing traffic goes through this OpnSense VM, which acts as default gateway for the host system and all other VMs/Docker containers. You either need to book a 2nd public IPv4 address (or just use IPv6 for free if that is good enough for your use case, since each server comes with a IPv6 /64 subnet), or if you want to just have 1 IPv4 address you could do some Mac spoofing on the main eth interface of the host OS and give the actual Mac address and public IP to the OpnSense's WAN interface. This is necessary because Hetzner has some Mac address filtering in place, meaning only the Mac address connected to the public IP is allowed to make traffic.
While it's a lot of money it's not out of keeping with the kind of sales they would have expected for his book. In it's first month "A Promised Land" sold 3.3M copies [1] and was the best selling book in the US for 2020! It's not clear to me what sort of "access to power" connections Penguin Random House would be getting out of this, and it's very clear that they got a lot of sales.

They’re a good value for playing around, but CPU performance has come a long way since those were released. A mid-range AMD desktop CPU could beat even a dual-socket server with two of those in most tasks, and a used 16-core AMD desktop chip will walk away from it in almost every benchmark. It will also be much quieter and consume less power while doing it.

If you’re on a shoestring budget, don’t mind hunting down and testing used parts, and power and noise aren’t an issue then those old server parts are great fun though.
If you run them 24/7 another idea will be to rent cheap dedicated servers. Hetzner has some: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver

They even have auctions: https://www.hetzner.com/sb
It would be a little weird for it to be contaminated with only uracil. Sure, if they found full RNA strands you'd start to think contamination was more likely, but what are the odds it was contaminated but with only uracil, especially considering how far they've gone to prevent contamination?

> For one, the spacecraft (or the empty capsules) could have been pre-contaminated before their launch.

I had a really interesting discussion with someone who oversaw decontamination protocols and preparations for various satellites, including the JWST. The protocols they use to prep satellites for these types of missions are beyond stringent, and the chemicals they use are exotic as all hell.

All this to say, contamination is absolutely possible, but there is so much insane behind the scenes work to control for it that it shouldn’t be thought of as something they might “just forget” or casually missed.
Without disputing anything in the article, I often see little to no value placed in consistency, simplicity, and repeatability with these kinds of analysis.

In this case, I would prefer to manage 1 set/type of hardware for all my uses unless I really needed to deviate. If the difference is $100 in overkill for a Pi-hole, but right-sized for other use cases, I find value in the consistency.

1 form factor, 1 OS, 1 set of hardware compatibility, if a script works 1 place, it works everywhere, etc.
The lack of connection between the youth game and the pro game was always striking to me, particularly when the youth game became popular in a time when social mobility was on the decline in the U.S.

You could play Little League (baseball) and dream of being Babe Ruth but you could not play soccer and dream of being Pele because that happened in a different country and the path up just didn’t exist, just as many people were perceiving that paths up in general had disappeared.

I would say that people of my generation and particularly a bit younger have kept the love for the game and play pick-up soccer as an adult but I think the gap between the youth game and interest in the pro game is diagnostic of something.
I guess I'd expect an LLM to give answers based on text it had previously encountered. Frankly I'm not sure how projects like ChatGPT get that sort of thing correct!
I thought the market knows best was kind of a joke. As in all your best reasoning and prayers, but it can still go against you, the market knew best. Is it in the same vein as a wizard being neither early or late, he arrives precisely when he means to (nothing’s ever priced incorrectly)? Or, like a loving mother who beats you (you didn’t properly factor in jupiter)? Depends how you’re feeling, but the market always knows best.
Rear Window Timelapse (2012) [video]
Well, to me it sounds vague rather than fair. "Success" in what? In predicting new observations? Or in securing research grants? Or in letting people put the word "astonishing" in papers?

It just muddles things up to use qualitative terms in scholarly articles like that and it's standard advice to graduates to avoid it. And those who don't follow the advice have it repeated to them by reviewers. And that seems to be a good thing. Personally, I don't want to be told what is "astonishing", and, consequently, what isn't. I am perfectly capable of being astonished, or not, all on my own.

See, it's the "show, don't tell" principle. Astonish people, but don't tell them they're astonished, or they very likely won't.

You can get one in like five minutes. All the major high-yield savings accounts are at 3-4% now.

4%: https://www.sofi.com/banking/savings-account/

3.75%: https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/banking/online-savings...

None of them are fixed, they go up and down along with the Fed rate. "High-yield" was 1% a few years ago, but no one should be keeping substantial amounts in any savings account that only offers 0.01%.
Any plans for making this open source?
Even if the standards improved, it came not from the financial industry and probably despite of it. When banking is 25% of economy, it is a heavy tax on everyone. The industry produces nothing and beyond few percents of economy as it was historically it brings just burden if not the outright harm.
Way too early in the science needed to characterize as evidence for or against panspermia or much else. We need much much more work like this.

What’s the advantage of GPT parsing here, the has comp filter?
- Cases are overrated. You may not need them. Corkboard is underrated. Just make sure you keep your hardware clean from dust and debris.

- Have you found a mobo? Due to the existence of APUs (I assume), there doesn't really exist many AM4 mobos with iGPU. You have the Asrock RACK boards, which are great (I operate a few) but maybe over budget if you're on a shoestring. You may not need a GPU at all but then you prob want an APU or dGPU on hand for troubleshooting and potentially flashing (not all mobos and firmware versions boot headlessly from what I hear)

- General rule of thumb: if youre going to use something for prod, buy at least 2 of each. It's great to have an extra for experiments and you'll be grateful in case of hardware failure.

- in case you plan to run your host OS straight on the metal (as opposed to VMs): It's recommended to separate your control plane from your workers. Use Pis or similar for this; whatever you can find cheap.

- Rather than HN, I highly recommend you check out ServeTheHome (forums/blog/yt). Lots of great stuff there. The "tinyminimicro" (that would be the small dell/lenovo/HP units other commenters mention) and ali-router-board tracks can be worth considering as well. You should be able to get good ideas about switches here too, maybe even score something on the trade board if you live in US or EU.

- Screw AWS. You should be able to run the money numbers on that yourself.
These stories make me glad I don’t go through the interview nonsense.

I’ve worked in software for 40 years, had exactly one of these ridiculous interviews. Despite years of relevant experience I bombed it because I couldn’t guess something stupid like how many tennis balls fit into Chicago. Recruiter told me they hired a more qualified candidate. Then two months later I got a desperate call asking me to start tomorrow. The person who aced the interview couldn’t actually do anything. I told them to stuff it, I had already found a better gig.

I have refused garbage personality tests by saying those violate the ADA. Think about what position that puts the company in. And I’ve had offers even after flatly refusing Myers-Brigg or similar nonsense.

This shit keeps happening because people put up with it and play along.

On this same thread, I have seen comments about Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, and Barney Frank.

>what central bankers are doing, not just by raising rates, suppressing demand, and lowering wages

I'm not a finance expert by any stretch, but I thought inflation was lowering wages, and raising the rates is done to combat inflation, i.e. reduce devaluation of wages (and savings, and other stuff)?
There are a few more things to consider:

- Do you need shared storage? If so, how fast? Read or write heavy?
- Do you need performant interconnect? (for say MPI? Used IB-cards are cheap on ebay)
- Is your software limited by memory bandwidth? (If so, aybe go with more memory lanes than 2)

I'd rent a few different configurations from Hetzner to benchmark before buying.

If you don't need more than a few nodes and you are not limited on memory bandwidth, you could consider a single, faster, node. But the sweetspot is probably consumer-grade Ryzen.

As for cloud, as long as you know you'll actually use everything you buy for a long enough time period, buying will be cheaper.
Of course. Outside of academia and some law schools, there’s no real conservatives. These guys will cry and whine for bailouts, cash the check and start crying and whining about government meddling.
Silence, volume and stability are 3 features they also have, atleast with heatsinks like these: http://move.rupy.se/file/cluster_client.png

SD cards are saturated by 2W TDP Raspberry 2, but the 4 has workload speeds for CPU intense operations.

Be Bernie Sanders, apparently.

The bar is pretty low. Don't be an obvious crook or treat yourself like you're in a different class and flout it. Don't vote party lines if it doesn't reflect your constituency, and encourage grassroots involvement and policy voting.

Identity politics drove people off the deep end, because if you disliked Clinton's track record of neoliberal politics, her flagrant corruption and disdain for the working class, and penchant for globalism, then you failed the loyalty test and could be freely ostracized as a secret bigot or false flag operator.

That should have been quashed hard by journalists, but the media lined up, and then Big Tech started putting their fingers on the scales, and we were all left worse off for it.

Trust is earned over a lifetime of accountability and consistency, but that's harder than taking payouts from special interests and voting how your party wants. As they say, eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

For prototyping, RaspberryPis will get you where you're going faster than anything else. The Linux environment gives you speed of development. The form factor let's you toss it in a parts bin. The GPIO gives you direct, easy access to the physical world.

After prototyping, redeveloping for a different platform is often not worth the cost. If you didn't use the GPIO, switch to a NUC or similar. Or don't.

Raspberry Pis are in data centers now, occupying server racks. Don't fight the signal; retransmit.

"the storage is WAY more reliable than micro-SD cards"

It's not even close to major public cloud providers, but this is my setup:

* https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... (Terraform, Kubernetes bootstrap)

* Flux for CI

* nginx-ingress + Hetzner Loadbalancer (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-mana...)

* Hetzner storage volumes (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver)

Kube-Hetzner supports Hetzner Cloud loadbalancers and volumes out of the box, though it also supports other components.
For my hobby server:

- Running dokku with Heroku Buildpacks to deploy both from source and to run Docker images behind an ngnix reverse proxy.
- Autoupgrade apt's, manually updating the OS.
- No load balancing.
- No scaling.
- Automated backups with restic/rclone to OneDrive.
- Hetzner firewall, no DDoS protection.

> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

A problem: this is a razor that is useful for approximating what one believes to be true, it is not proper, strict epistemology.

Also: it only yields belief, not truth, because it doesn't even try for truth - rather, it advises against doing that.

Would be interesting to see what Carl would say in this context, as I presume he meant it in the context of science/physics, not metaphysics.

I have arguments now and then with people on Carl Sagan videos on tiktok, and it is eye opening how many science fans are utterly incompetent when it comes to epistemology and logic. With just a tiny bit of abstraction (removing the object level specifics of the claim), they are indistinguishable from religious fundamentalists in their confident incorrectness / epistemic-unsoundness.
That’s still 3 separate motherboards, 3 separate cases, 3 separate power supplies, 3 separate sets of RAM, 3 machines idling instead of one, etc.
I still have a soft spot in my heart for ARCNet. In the 80s it was cheaper than ethernet, but more reliable than token ring. And for the few places that prioritized determinism over throughput, it was indispensable.

But ethernet kept improving speed and reliability while ARCnet retreated to shop-floor niche applications.

Alas.
And most importantly, it doesn't have an OS that provides next to no benefit for many of those tasks, and suffers from inconsistent timing.

Something like ESP32 is much more reliable at controlling hardware. It will never miss on a triggered limit switch in time because memory ran out for some reason and it started swapping.
The advance is fine. The buyers are suspect. (Though in this case, the buyers are likely largely a broad base of interested citizens. Rich Democratic Party women like buying books. )
Is that fraud though?
I have ssh enabled on all my servers, sometimes port 22 sometimes other ports. I have never had a break in. I use fail2ban but I don't know if that's really necessary. But I use it anyway to secure other services (e.g. wordpress instances) against brute-forcing. It goes without saying that password access and root login should be disabled.

If you want to go to crazy lengths to hide your ssh then do port knocking or something.
> Take the hours spent on this "innovation" and instead implement a feature that Chrome has which Firefox doesn't.

I think a better approach is to implement a feature that Chrome doesn't have. Their current approach is to make FF a clone of Chrome which just means that there are very few compelling reasons to use FF over Chrome.

If they don't have an idea for such a feature, I'd suggest implementing a feature which FF had and Chrome doesn't - bring back the ability for extensions to modify the browser's UI elements. If all they can think of to do with their UI is to make it a clone of Chrome's, why not let someone else come up with something cool? I'd love to at least get the old search box back if nothing else (what at some point was still possible by setting showOneOff to false)
Not only that, but also old gaming hardware can be maintained basically forever. Or even recreated from relatively simple components. There is no shortage of kits that you can assemble yourself. Old electronics is relatively very easy to understand, debug and fix. Well within ability of an average electronics engineering enthusiast like me.

Contrasted with new games and new gaming hardware which will become useless in couple years when Micro$oft or $ony or Nint€ndo decide it no longer makes business sense for them to maintain their online infrastructure to support those old consoles and games.
> people-centric recommendation systems that don’t misinform or undermine our well-being

X to Doubt. Recommendation systems are already people-centric, but it turns out that people will gladly misinform themselves if it Sounds Right. The solution is something companies are not willing to admit: we must deprioritize "recommendation systems". You have to let humans rank, tag, and organize content themselves. You can still have recommendations on the side for exploration, but it can't be the whole thing. It's boring, but it's the only long-term solution that doesn't eat itself.
I use Firefox more than any other application.

I don’t care about anything else Mozilla has built in the past decade, unless you count Rust.

As they continue devoting resources towards more and more things that aren’t Firefox, they only hasten the day when I’ll give up and move to Brave.
Sorry, I edited my comment to add some context. It seems very likely to me that if we could increase pay of politicians by a factor of 10 (say), we'd get much much better performance at lower effective cost than we already pay for the soft corruption of "speaking fees" and suchlike.

Unfortunately that seems to be politically infeasible (not even competent autocratic regimes can get away with paying themselves above board).
I haven't done much melée combat, but i would have thought that a stabbing spear was preferable to a club in any situation. You can have more range, you don't have to give up your guard to wind up a blow, and opponents are more likely to be discouraged by bleeding than bruises.

Given that we developed flint-tipped spears half a million years ago, would cavemen have used clubs in any but the most desperate situations?
Well, I'm for campaign finance but not money out of politics.

The president should be getting like 400M/yr instead of 400k/yr. But also paying for their own trips/security/housing/etc and if it turns out 400M/yr isn't enough for that then it should be a higher number.

The fact that the "execs" of congress get paid so little in salary but make it out from outside employment (or by having the government itself pay for it) hampers the rest of the government since it limits what they can pay for every other role in government. Using your ability to run the country efficiently should be a highly paying job so it causes people to actually want to do it.

This is a capitalistic society, you want to have somebody that can estimate a project accurately? You'll need to pay.
