Uh, how does one source produce except through imports? A weak Pound will make it more expensive.

Even for things that can be domestically produced, like greenhouse tomatoes, they will still be more expensive even if they are now competitive with imports. And for items like rice and couscous you're not really going to be able to domestically produce them anyway.
I wish language selection in OS and Browser were easier to access... but your browser does send a language header with your request, which generally matches your browser.

Location based is and can be a pain. I live in a border state and often get spanish versions of sites... I also follow a couple prominent youtubers who post english and foreign language content, so sometimes get results in those languages, that I don't read.

That said, using the default for the browser, and allowing override isn't a bad thing... I usually look for something that looks like a flag in the upper right, for language selection. And the few times I've written multi-language sites/apps that's the UX I prefer to use. I would default to browser/header, I would respond to the change event, and if the user selects a preference, set a cookie and use that first.

Again, I do wish it were easier to switch for the browser itself.

"The nonprofit, OpenAI Inc., is the sole controlling shareholder of OpenAI LP" from Wikipedia.

Clearly Microsoft has a large stake as well. It sounds like equity was distributed to employees, but according to Fortune some was sold: "OpenAI’s other investors include Hoffman’s charitable foundation and Khosla Ventures. Last year, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global Management, Bedrock Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz reportedly purchased shares from preexisting shareholders in a sale valuing the company at around $20 billion, according to The Information."

Eh, let's not pretend existing SSL certificate validation is anything to write home about.

Even without any ephemeral servers involved, barely anybody is validating cert fingerprints on first use.

And among people using ephemeral servers, 99% of applications have either baked a certificate into their image (so that any compromised host means a compromise of the critical, impossible-to-revoke-or-rotate key) - or every new server gets a new cert and users have either been trained to ignore certificate warnings, or they've disabled strict host key checking and their known hosts file.

The existing SSL cert validation options are perfect if you're a home gamer or you're running a few dozen bare metal servers with all your SSL users within yelling distance in the same office. But we all know it's a joke beyond that.
Yes, this is well known and has been tracked in the finance and economic press. Just as an example, both grain production and transport (due to disturbances in rails and shipping) were both effected directly and indirectly which had significant impacts in Africa.

Show HN: Open-source, privacy-focused developer tools (early stages)
Hi HN!

Many developers use websites to handle menial everyday tasks like formatting json, generating uuid's, etc. The problem that we found with this is that many of these websites send our data to the server to process it. This didn't sit very well with us, considering it could contain customer's information, so we decided to build these tools internally and open source them. For most cases, this processing can be done on the client side without any need for the data to leave your browser.

In the spirit of being privacy-focused, we don't track usage levels of this and we certainly don't send any data to a backend service.

As I mentioned in the title, this project is in the early stages at the moment but we wanted to share it to get feedback and see if people find it useful. If you do have feedback, let me know in the comments here or feel free to add an issue to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/DevScreenInternal/ds-devtools.
I see the divide in my friends groups. There are no easy answers.

I think for me, one insight is that of my friends making over $100,000 lack the real awareness of what it means for my friends who make just enough to pay rent and food, while struggling to provide the life they want for their kids.

We ( I have been guilty of it) sometimes reduce the conversation to some version of "just re-tool" as if they are 10 weeks away from a different life. There are so many steps that I used to take for granted. Mindset is one of them. Different priorities is another major issue. I have a friend that could have worked on a cutting edge robotics team that stayed home and took a help desk job so he could live with his mom that is 88 years old and struggles to walk.

The hopelessness of many hard working and smart people is not very appreciated. They are not dumb or lacking discipline or some variation of that.

There is a real economic issue. Take school teachers or nurses (my wife's a nurse) that truly aren't paid adequately for their contribution.

is there fault they chose wrong at 18? That just seems too simple of an answer to me.
It's also important that we care about what kind of training. Our state requires standardized police academy training for 18 weeks but you still get pumped full of garbage like killology. My friend's husband became a cop and within a month of his training he picked up bullshit like "always sit facing the exit in public places" and literally playing with his service M4 like a damn nerf gun, sweeping their living room and "clearing" the other rooms in their apartment. Even my actual gun nut brother knows that's bad.
Edit: I have been corrected on the support time frame. Also had the bad luck of checking the CentOS wikipedia page to validate my memories - one of the Tables makes it look as if both CentOS stream 8 and 9 are already out of support.

As far as I can tell IBM officially nuked CentOS long term support in the same step it killed Red Hat compatibility with 7 being the last supported version.

The replacement for CentOS seems to be Rockit Linux, which continues with tracking Red Hat packages like CentOS did in the past.

I love this and would be happy to see more of it. The novelty of a "religious idea" shouldn't be a factor as to whether it should be regarded as valid.

Not that it's perfect by far, but I can think of many far worse principles upon which to base a religion than e.g. Gnu/GPL/Stallman-esque ones.

Acting like "food" is a company is absurd, there is a ton of competition and substitution in the market, no one actor has the capacity to influence "food" prices in general. If they did, then were they just being altruistic three years ago by not raising prices?

They certainly aren't exposing those logs back to the customer. There doesn't seem to be a way to see anything other than "total cost per day" in the dashboard. I like that Helicone allows me to see each request and export them all, so that I can use that to build my fine-tuning dataset.
What a shame the article spreads some fud about roms and diminishes the community, making it seem like a futile individual effort:

"In order to play a game on an emulator, you need a copy of the original title, commonly saved as a ROM (or read-only memory) file. Depending on how the title is copied, what the condition of the cartridge or game disc is in, or the geographic region the game is locked to, you can find yourself with a buggy version of Pokémon Crystal or Super Mario Bros. 3 that can hardly run. Creating and distributing ROMs is also fraught with legal issues."

Meanwhile, people have been distributing roms for 25 years, and the strength of the community ensures you don't get burned. Every game for every region has a rom already, for each game a few roms of "analytical grade" at this point, and its not hard to be pointed in the right direction these days. Sometimes the community even fixes bugs nintendo left in. Here is a handy key for the identifiers the community often annotates for their roms:

Hm, right. Good to be corrected. Not sure why the lag is so big, though. Looks like it's 3 frames looking at slowmo capture of the screen.

I guess you can take your cursor position at the beginning of scanout of the previous frame, render the new browser layer content, tell the compositor to update both cursor layer position, and browser layer at the next scanout, and both should have matching positions on the next frame. Maybe if the compositor is updating the cursor layer position from mouse position known right at the momen of atomic commit, there may be some difference.

Well, this is Xorg I'm using, and it's not using atomic DRM API, so things are not well synchronized.

Aren't you approaching this thinking from a likely (far) wealthier perspective? There's people in very bad living conditions trying to learn computers to dramatically improve a shitty life. I'm not saying learning computer science theory isn't great, but the details of these potential students lives should be considered and are important for what their goal in trying to learn.

Would you go and tell a student this?

-------------------------

I'm sorry you have heaps of rats and cockroaches crawling in your shack my student. I'm sorry you don't have working electricity. I'm sorry your brother is sick because he can't afford extra medical treatments he needs to fix his condition.

What's that? Your main goal is to start out on an entry-level Java job so you can help your family and want to be guided on the right path for that?

Oh, no. No, no, no. That's NOT appropriate. We need to teach you computer science theory first. If your life spirals out of control in the meantime, at least you'll know it was for an appropriate cause.

The Economist ran a story the other week on the topic of food costs talking about how the tomato can be looked at as a type of energy store & how British supermarkets differ from other European supermarket chains by rationing out veg rather than increasing pricing.

I once watched an employee get hired for a full time position, but during their post-onboarding initiation, they said that they were disabled and could only work part-time. And this was in addition to being one of the most obnoxious people I ever met in the workplace.

Not sure what legal hoops had to be jumped through, but inside of two weeks we had legitimate grounds for termination without fear of retribution. Their bait-and-switch employment plan failed.

And in case anybody is wondering: I'm leaving a LOT of this story out on purpose.
I read the article. I'm not saying that OpenAI didn't start with some sort of altruistic ideals. I'm not saying they did, either -- I don't know either way. But if they did, those ideals appear to be dead and buried now.

These would also need to be very distributed and high-throughput HSMs: You'd need to talk to one for every single SSH login! This is in contrast to e.g. having a CA signing key in a HSM, but distributing keys signed with it more widely.

I suppose (Open?)SSH's PKI mode could support a model like that, but as others have noted here, this requires much more manual work on the user's side than comparing a TOFU key hash.

Maybe that model could be extended to allow TOFU for CAs, though? But I think PKI/CA mode is an OpenSSH extension to the SSH protocol as it is, and that would be a further extension to that extension...

Well it is called artificial intelligence. But in all seriousness, they no doubt have brilliant people working there. I don’t however consider them to be a tech company, at least in the traditional sense. Scientific? Absolutely, but their nonprofit roots are really showing through.
Can you succinctly describe what that interest is?
I tried to get chatgpt4 to generate a basic react app that had a public page and a private page. you get access to the private page by authenticating with a google auth popup. gpt valiantly generated code and instructions for google auth. the code was impressive but buggy (outdated api version), but successively pasting errors into chatgpt went most of the way toward fixing it.

the instructions for configuring google auth were off. I tried a number of different ways to get gpt to give me the right instructions, but to no avail.

so it was back to the old way, of spending a few hours reading google's documentation (which I'm doing today) to figure it out.

once I'm there, I feel confident I could better coach chatgpt to instruct me. though I wouldn't necessarily need the help at that point.

on the code side, staring at the google auth api code it had generated, I was faced with a hard truth. I didn't understand this code. to iterate with it, essentially to develop it, I would continue to be dependent on GPT. Even if there was a one liner needed, I wouldn't be able to come up with it on my own. I'd always have to rely on this outside "brain". How can that be more efficient than a tight REPL loop conducted by me, an evolving master of this API?

And how will we humans even maintain knowledge of these API surfaces if we are not putting in our hours and hours of repetitive usage of them? We become ignorant of the evolving capabilities of the computing platform. And chatgpt becomes useless without humans who understand what's out there, what's needed.
I'm confused, wouldn't server side webAssembly just be, well, assembly?
This is a pretty compelling argument to me that the weights shouldn't be able to be copyrighted. In essence, aren't they a list of numbers you can search through to get a result?

Would it makes sense to say a "give me a rowboat on the water" prompt (search) is the same as a "give me the phone number of company XYZ" search in a phonebook?

What exactly is a prompt anyway? Can you copyright the assembly that a compiler spits out? Is an AI prompt the same as source code and its output is the assembly a compiler would generate? Does that mean the model is a compiler? I assume a compiler can be copyrighted, so then maybe the weights can be copyrighted? Or would it make more sense that the combination of (weights + prompt + seed + output) is copyrightable?

I don't have answers to any of these or know if they're reasonable questions but I'm starting to find this all very fascinating.
Avoiding group think is a particular brand of herd mentality. We're social animals all the way down.

This isn't how the market works in the UK, or anywhere close to it (because distribution is heavily consolidated).

The main change has been energy prices (it is complex because supermarkets stopped selling some products, so the price recorded is not what consumers experienced because the product largely wasn't available).

Also, just generally, that isn't how demand for food works either. It isn't elastic, there are substitutes for every product. The main factor driving differences between countries is usually the structure of the food supply chain and exposure to trade.
Awk is actually amazing as long as you operate within its limitations and core problems that it solves well—it is definitely not limited to one-liners, but it has other limitations.

It is just so damn good at the things it is good at, but nobody learns to use it, because learning Awk is inefficient in the grand scheme of things. There are better things you can learn.

There is one place where Awk has undeniable superiority—and that is its use in environments where bureaucratic rules prohibit the distribution of programs / code (Perl, Python), but where Awk is permitted.
It looks as though, to make the framework taller to support keys with travel, you'd need an entirely different case -- but so long as the mountpoints for everything were otherwise the same it seems like it wouldn't be a radical rework of the product.

One can imagine a double thickness framework with either somewhat bigger battery and mechanical keys or super huge battery and the smaller keys; and of course more (or at least larger) expansion cards.

But of course the idea for something is worthless - it's the execution that matters. I hope they succeed enough to be able to expand their portfolio to more niche markets.

> The masses don't tend to act to project their interests until it's too late.

The masses are already showing signs of restlessness, and the only real problem right now is wealth inequality. Actual unemployment rates remain low. Forward in time a little, let's say 20% unemployment due to AI. The only way anybody is going to maintain their monopoly on use of force is if they hire every one of those 20% to be police. Right now the ratio of police to citizens is really low, and the ratio of weapons to civilians really high. I don't think the masses will wait all that long.

I love the headline, as if retiring with 1M or more is common. News flash, that's the reality of 80% of America. Hell, where I grew up, people mostly just relied on social security. Retirement wasn't lavish, but they still enjoyed it.

I get the feeling that financial advisors push high savings / low spending for retirement so hard because they get a 1%+ cut of assets under management, and there's nobody complaining when their client dies with a pile of money. It's one thing to be responsible, but it's easy to over do it.
