I set things up again on the new VM manually. I have a runbook for it, usually takes me 30 mins or less.

To not have any downtime I keep the old VM up and attach a new public IP to the new VM. I then update the DNS records and after a while when the new IP is mapped to my domain I then stop the old VM.

Costs:

Managed Mongodb cluster: $9 but I share it between multiple side projects so let's say $3

API health checks - free! I use digital ocean and fresh ping

Service Desk - free! I use Jira

DNS: Usually $0.3

DB backups: within the free tier on both cloud providers. I have it set to only keep the last x backups so this should always be free

Cron job to run the backup: I have a serverless function for this, still within the free tier

SSL cert - free because I use let's encrypt

Docker image storage costs: <$1

Total ~$9.5

I often find most people are really bad at taking a step back and thinking freely about the problem at hand — especially if they are stressed out. And they (we) are stressed out all the time, because apparently it is considered good managment to not consider what happens when you put pressure on people.

I tend to say: "You cannot afford to go fast if you are in a hurry, because this is where stuff goes wrong. And if you are in a hurry you cannot afford stuff going wrong."

If you are a manager and you want your people to deliver the most innovative, creative, best solution you have to lift stress of them and that also means freeing them of their daily duties and giving them the space to think openly about solutions. If your shop will collapse when you relive the best people of their daily duties for a week that means you shop is badly managed.
The problem is that human cognition itself could be described as a Chinese room. We don't understand what understanding is, or what thinking is, what consciousness is, etc.

So we can't adequately defend our own thought process as being any "better" than an AI except at a functional level, and AI's are quickly catching up to and even exceeding human functions, so the moat humans have drawn to defend themselves as exceptional beings is ever shrinking.
I don't know if that's right. It seems to me that this could be a critical part of a larger attack:

One attack that occurs to me is to pause a client when it is looking up a DNS name, but before it has gotten the response. With the plaintext DNS response you can get the ID field and forge a response. If you can do this during an HTTP request you might be able to redirect your victim to another server.

TLS might be much of a problem either: a lot of devices poll HTTP urls to detect "captive portals" -- many offices even use these for corporate login via wifi, so our attacker may attempt to go after this infrastructure to collect corporate credentials.

There's probably more: Applications have been assuming this wasn't possible for a long time, so there are likely a lot of vulnerable targets.
What is fascinating about that there is just absolutely nothing good there. It isn't a case of a decaying thing, or a thing that contained a scam. The entire thing is nothing, rotten, worse than any videogame. It's really quite amazing.

It would be not notable at all except, there is a huge amount of money being passed around in it in order to achieve basically nothing.

The dreams about the metaverse discussed at the beginning are also just wild and bizarre. It seems to me that a lot of tech people and investor types are just bored and letting their imaginations run wild. AI taking over the world, living fully inside the metaverse, every object in the world being inside the metaverse to the point where the metaverse is considered more accurate than reality etc. They may as well be talking about time travel or faster than light travel. In reality we have...a worse version of second life
It works now. It's a nice little tool. Would be great to have the ability to test the cost of a response as well, and optionally combine the costs of the input/output.
Fwiw, chatgpt gave an impressive sounding result that is very inline with sibling comments and would at least give more terms to search for.
But that's not really the the slow part. JavaScript with V8 is one of the fastest interpreted languages. A bare Electron app starts pretty fast. Google wants to have the fastest browser, so they invest a lot into Chromium (which Electron uses).

Even React isn't all that slow. If you look at benchmarks you may be impressed by how quickly it can do some operations. It's consistently a bit slower than other frameworks, but not that far off. There are (big) React apps that are quite fast, too.

So writing performant applications with these technologies isn't impossible.

Yet a lot of apps built with them are slow. The fast ones are rare.

I don't know what it is yet (happy to be pointed somewhere), but I'm fairly convinced that these technologies have common footguns that encourage programming things in slow ways. I can imagine it being related to React's coarse-grained and easy mismanage reactivity and wonder how much of an improvement Solid is in comparison (it is also functional, but is built to always recompute as little as possible rather than saying "whatever, it's cheap", which React does).

I would be more interested to see the reviewer comments to see how it would be possible to do peer-review with ChatGPT. I'm biased because of STEM background, which makes it nearly impossible to think of ChatGPT usage in that sense because it is very bad at Mathematics in general (even if GPT-4 improved it a lot with arithmetic and basic calculus). But it might be different for other fields, like in this case.

"Better" how? I want a range the same as petrol car, with a recharging time the same as it takes me to pump gasoline into the tank. Until I have that, EVs aren't 'better' for me in any way. I drive 300 miles point to point several times a month and with an EV the journey time is an hour longer, and definitely not 'better'. That's not to say that EVs won't improve, but by 2035 will we have 700 mile range EVs that charge to 100% in 3-4 minutes?

The chassis, interior, and "technology" in combustion engine cars is largely the same for every manufacturer that produce EV + internal combustion because of economies of scale. So that's not a unique selling point.
> Privacy requires secrecy

No, it doesn't.

When I go to the urologist there is no secret about what's going to happen, but the doctor closes the door to respect my privacy.

When a woman gives birth, unauthorized people are not allowed to enter the room. Because "privacy".

When I take money from the ATM I do it in private, not in secrecy. Everyone knows I am taking money, but are required to not get too close.

Conflating the two arguments is either out of confusion or bad faith.
Thanks for the nightmare fuel. And complete absence of butts. :/
It's impossible to run a crypto exchange without halting withdrawals periodically, especially when runs are happening.

This is due to the security balance between difficult-to-access cold wallets containing the majority of funds, and easy-to-access hot wallets containing the minimum required for expected daily operations.

No idea on the coincidence with Tether minting, other than Tether mints often whether directly or indirectly as a result of market conditions, which of course may also be influencing exchange withdrawal dynamics.

This seems much more like a problem for the journal and reviewer than it does about ChatGPT. I am a reviewer at several computer science publications. This behaviour is likely against the publication's code of conduct for reviewers. If the author complains to the chair then it is likely their paper will be re-evaluated and the reviewer banned from giving further reviews for that conference. Being a reviewer for a top conference is a highly sought-after honour so the chair knows that it's (a) better for the prestige of the publication if reviewers are discouraged from this type of action; (b) replacing any reviewer is easy as there are many qualified applicants to choose from.

In the future, I anticipate that codes of conduct will more explicitly specify that while you may use automated tools to assist you, you must ultimately write your own review.

So Epic can make the argument to courts, regulators, investors etc. that they have created something ground-breaking and unique and vital to society.

So basically the privacy is removed the moment privacy is removed (the scanning bit), not when secrecy is.

You are laughing and I'm crying. I don't know what is the vim thing but if I needed a phone for a lot of typing 10 years ago, I used to have a rich choice of Qwerty communicators. If I need a phone for a lot of typing today, I use to have a choice of:

a 10+ y.o. Qwerty communicator whose software is able at least to reach my email,

a laptop,

and a touchscreen as an only way to have all the bleeding edge technologies but with stupid restrictions on an OS level.
This is exactly what people should fear about the AI future. A lazy judge, parole officer, loan reviewer, school counselor, or in this case - peer reviewer, delegating decisions that affect human lives to a black-box algorithm.
I seriously doubt that. What's your source?

I used to work for a competitor with a more flexible architecture and even our compile times were bad (significant fractions of a day in some cases). And we didn't have to do place and route!

I just googled it and it's apparently bad enough that they had to implement incremental place and route.

Heads up displays are common for most carmakers (maybe apart from cheapest ones like Dacia or chinese brands), but they are always a premium equipment for (big) extra charge.

Our bmw 5 series from 2014 has it. It is amazing tech, easily the best improvement for me in car driving in past 2 decades. Constant visual contact with road and surroundings, while being aware of my current speed to the level of single kmh, speed limit, car navigation, switching songs/volume with knob on steering wheel, perfectly readable in all conditions and never obtrusive. I just dont look inside the car anymore. The problem is when I drive car without it, it feels severely lacking and ancient (like driving long stretches on highways and a lot of speed radars without cruise control).
can we move to post-publication peer review now?

Pre-publication peer review, most of the time, marginally improves a manuscript at the cost ~6 months. Some times it's just a place for reviewers to vent off stress and punch down. The real corkers get weeded out by the editors before the paper goes out to review.
According to Wikipedia [1] there is no proven medical effect to curcumin (the yellow substance from turmeric):

Laboratory and clinical research have not confirmed any medical use for curcumin. It is difficult to study because it is both unstable and poorly bioavailable. It is unlikely to produce useful leads for drug development.

> And they're far cheaper and more available than they are in the US.

But they are still very very expensive! In Germany for example:
- Kia Niro EV, crosover/mini-suv, 47.590 € (ICE with mild-hybrid 32.590 €)
- BMW 3 wagon, ICE, starts at 46.300,00 €

So no, thank you. If I have that much money I will buy anything but expensive, lower class EV.

For people with a low budget, probably cheapest wagon option is Dacia Jogger, starting 16.900 €. Find my reasonable priced, decent sized wagon for someone who can afford max 20k loan for a car.

So no. If prices of EVs don't drop by 20%, and range (real, not on the paper) doesn't increase to at least 450 km in light winter conditions then I don't want to see an EV, although it's cool to drive.

Also I live in a pretty new building, 5 years old in a really big city. We don't have chargers in the underground garage, although there is close to 200 apartments here.
Also curious before I use.

This completes the cycle.

Researchers use GPT to write papers and submit them (can be fully automated)

Journals review using GPT and (potentially) publish (can be fully automated)

GPT will create a borked summary and create fake citations for the next cycle of research. (again, can be fully automated)

Then, left on its own, we will have a bunch of robots worrying for us about impact factor and grant applications and we can get back to doing actual research again. Problem solved.
Fucked up considering the current tendency for GTP3 to be confidently / plausibly incorrect.
It was mainly a CS thesis on multi-objective optimization algorithms, and wheels were my chosen application. So me not being a mechanical engineer I didn't exactly push that side of the science any forward.

But my algorithm did end up "inventing" the 3x pattern perfectly, which I think was cool. Both as a confirmation that it's really a good versatile pattern being pareto optimal in multiple objectives, and the algorithm finding it also verified that my approach did have some merit.

> When I go to the urologist there is no secret about what's going to happen,

Yes there is.

What happens there is a secret, protected by medical secrecy. There are assumptions on what can happen, but it is still protected

And whatever you're assuming to happen might not necessarily happen there

Having exceptions where the information gets out "by itself" (in the case of pregnancy) do not make the acts that happen there any less secret.

I'm amazed at how much nay-saying there is on HN about LLMs. This community has bought into so many fads, like crypto, yet when presented with what's clearly going to be the most disruptive technology of your life, you act like it's no big deal. Is this just nervous denial? Are you suddenly incapable of linear (not exponential) extrapolation? Imagine what ChatGPT, Midjourney, or whatever Apple and Google are cooking up will be capable of if they only improve linearly, at say 1% per year?

People ought to be preparing themselves for this as if it were a COVID-like black swan event, except much, much worse. And do not bank on Sam Altman and his fellow tech bro billionaires holding the reins of these job-annihilating machines delivering with their promise of UBI.

There is the socket problem with desktops, if the next gen requires a different socket, you need to replace the motherboard.

There is the chipset problem with desktops, if you are wanting a feature of a newer cpu, you might need to replace the motherboard again even if the sockets match.

I don't really hear about people upgrading just their CPU, its always either more ram or more video : so to consider the cpu and motherboard as one unit, I do not think it is different than how build-your-own desktop computers are now.

(also noting that you can change the ram and add a videocard to current framework laptops).

The US dollar is backed by the monopoly of force the United States government maintains primarily within its own borders and without as well.

The government requires you pay taxes in USD and will lock you in a cage by force if you do not. It requires that you accept USD as valid for commerce and again will lock you in a cage by force if you do not. If you attempt to counterfeit the currency, again locked in a cage by force.

The USD is as strong as the government's monopoly on force.

Crypto currency is backed by either nothing ("people faith" waves hands in a rainbow gesture) or some dude named Dan in Ohio or whatever.

I moved to Asia and suddenly found it nearly impossible to get full strength Aspirin. Kind of frustrating as it seems to be the somewhat less harmful NSAID.

Some research later, I found that it possibly interacts with certain bacteria that cause stomach ulcers and that these bacteria are more likely to be in poorly stored food. So, street food basically. This is a risk factor that would be much lower back home in Europe.

I wasn't able to get a definitive answer on this, but it's the best one I found so far as to why Aspirin is common in Europe and almost totally absent in Asia.

> Experiences are what sell new entertainment technologies and Disney owns the IP to some pretty compelling experiences.

This is the refrain of Disney's theme park marketing, but I disagree. It's the fact that people want to say they were there. It's 100% the brand and nothing more. Marketing doesn't have to be, and often isn't, rational.

This is at the absolute core of why theme park experiences sell but VR does not. Nobody cares if you "experienced" something in the comfort of your own home. Until the price of VR comes down to absolute rock bottom prices, there will not be acceptance of "VR experiences" and even so it's still a gamble whether anyone cares enough to buy that to experience on a whim frequently vs plan a vacation around it... I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

I agree that it's wrong when peer reviewers abuse their position (and they certainly do), but pre-publication review keeps the number of publications down, which once was necessary: a journal has a limited number of pages. You could argue that is a thing of the past, but imagine every article being published. We're already drowning in a sea of mostly wrong articles.
