Ruckus offers one time PSK and PSK per vlan. Very easy. I started seperating my home devices on a different vlan.

Mikrotik, you can associte PSK with mac address. it's not easy to setup but basically, PSK & mac address need to match in order to access the network. I think it also puts user in the configured vlan.

With the sheer brokenness of Python packaging I wish that the Python 2->3 transition had been between two completely different languages, such that the entire thing could have been thrown away. Yet because there was breakage, but not enough breakage to amount to moving towards a better rewrite, nobody's ever going to attempt a true Python 4. They blew their chance.

Now we have a never ending train of hotshot developers that think they can "solve" Python packaging with another tool, without realizing that you can't design a tool to fix a broken 15-year-old system. It's not just a "there are now X competing standards" issue, it's also the fact that anyone who makes an earnest attempt is doomed. They will never be able to get it past the point of universally good enough.

I lament the fact that I'm dragged back into the Python ecosystem every time I need to do something with a PyTorch-based tool someone spent years of effort building. I would never recommend the language to a newcomer. Ruby pollutes the global namespace, and Gemfiles execute arbitrary code, but at least with Ruby there's Gem, and then there's Bundler, and nobody complains.

Will we forever be beholden to the mistaken decisions of the original developers in the early 90's, just because Python is simply too widespread? Because even people like me who detest the packaging experience are forced to go back there because nobody's going to rewrite the hottest ML project in Elixir or something? Even the simple mistakes like putting venv files in Scripts/ instead of bin/ forcing one to work around it in cross-platform CI make no sense in hindsight. Nobody remembers why it was made that way after so long. Now it just floats over you like a spectre.
Would love the new age types to get onto the idea that water screams.
There seem to be some extra notes from the implied counterpoint, which I think pretty much every Bach interpreter make of their own, but it made me think it would be nice if Apple would credit arrangements as well.

From the moral point of view it is strong to assert than the gains to the winners involve the society at large. At least it sounds like you are predicting the future but the future is not here yet to check.
Does anyone know if preactivation normalization is a thing?

Instead of doing batch normalization and forcing the preactivations to be a normal distribution, what if we added a penalty to the loss to merely incentivize the preactivations to be normal?
> The technology hasn't changing anything.

I think this is completely wrong. It's now at massive scale, and you are much more likely to be exposed to convincing lies in a world where it's harder to understand what's actually going on. It's possible to live your entire life lying and get away with it because of improvements in living standards and the society we live in.

I know quite a few people who are now living in a parallel reality as they've been exposed to specious nonsense and are indeed immersed in falsehoods. And they point to the volume of it as one of the reasons why these things must be true.

No. Video and photos (in their original forms) do not show untrue things. They show the "first-hand fact" in a particular time and space.

What can happen is people misinterpret these "first-hand facts" with assumptions and priors that generates "second-hand untrue facts" based on them. If you have all the necessary information to trace back from second-hand untrue facts, you can always discover where the assumptions and fallacies were made.

Now what we have is "first-hand untrue facts" from the source, and there is no way to trace back and find such loopholes. It's similar to not having ground truth / have wrong ground truth when doing supervised learning.

`antiscope` – an irrealis programming library [pdf]
Have you ever wanted to combine the best features of functional programming and Zen koans? `antiscope` is a Python-language library that provides structures for irrealis programming. "Irrealis" is a linguistic term for grammatical constructions related to unreal or potential situations. Similarly, irrealis programming permits evaluation of code in which some objects are undefined or incompletely defined. The program will run as if those objects were well-defined.

`antiscope` contains both abstract structures for creating irrealis-mood objects and (for now), a single implementation of these structures. This implementation works by manipulating text produced by OpenAI’s GPT family of large language models (LLMs).

> Now, there is a word “Kari” in several South Indian languages but it’s used to mean spicy sauce or “kadipoda” which means spice mix, both derived from “black” in reference to the use of black peppercorns.

Is this the same word as "kara", black, in Turkic languages?

Apparently, speculatively, yes: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Japonic/...

Also Japanese "kuro".

Looks like the media has chosen Sam Altman as the next Elon Musk.

This makes sense. He perfectly fits their cliche of a socially-awkward technologist, and he's trusting (foolish?) enough to make complex nuanced statements in public, which they can easily mine for out-of-context clickbait and vilification fodder.
Wouldn’t the depreciation be higher in a higher (US) interest environment? The gap between US interest rates and Indian interest rates is what determines depreciation and the RBI (effectively, the Indian Govt as the RBI has no real independence) has not been as aggressive in increasing rates. So, I see faster INR depreciation for the near future.
Actually this is very clear to me as I was there a few times and talked to my friends on both "sides" - that is, from both Eastern and Western Ukraine. They had very different views.

The people from Donbas were very poor. Actually Ukrainiansin general were poor but e.g. in Donyetsk there were whole districts where people stopped paying for electricity etc. They had the idea it would be better to live under the Russian rule. Same in Crimea: there were mostly Russians or people speaking Russian everywhere. They thought that if Crimea was Russian they would be better off as more rich Russians would come there.

Western Ukraine was very different. I asked someone on the street in Russian and he kindly answered this is not Russia, they have another language etc. I was surprised as I didn't mean to start a debate, I just wanted to know my way to the train station.

Back to your question. It's very clear why the war started and Putin explained it in very simple terms in the victory piece that was published by RIA and quickly retracted[0]. In short, he felt like Peter the Great and wanted to take over the whole Ukraine to be remembered in history books as someone who gathered both Belorussians and Ukrainians under single Moscovian rule.

You may need to re-read the comment you are replying to.

I have underlying medical conditions, so like the parent poster I have decided against any startups because I need to tie myself to a corporate overlord so that they can pay my insurance premiums. Last time I checked Healthcare.gov I would have $26,000+ in medical bills each year. That’s a paywall for my health and well-being that would make an early startup so much harder. Taking a shock like the startup folding becomes truly traumatic. So I don’t. I sit in my cubicle so that I can stay healthy.

The parent poster was talking about this. In the US, failing a venture isn’t just “running out of money”. It can be really dangerous and difficult to navigate. Not that anyone should hand them money to fund a startup.
We had din sized standards for years. Every display now is still some sort of rectangle. There's no reason we can't come up with another din-like standard for displays. Put some fucking 10 cents RCA connectors on it so I can hook up some amps and speakers that don't suck. Put a CAN bus interface so that may head unit can read all that data from your car and display it. Then you can buy whatever infortainment system you want and keep your car from becoming a dated turd inside.

> Also, most Indian Restaurants in India, if not owned, are pretty much run (cooks, etc.) by Nepalese. And most "Chinese" restaurants by Bengalis. Of course, the "Chinese" food in India are, well, very very Indian-ised.

A great many Indian restaurants in the US are also owned by Bengalis. I visited a Bangladeshi restaurant in Atlanta that was advertised as such. The owner mentioned that most of the Indian restaurants in the city were owned by Bengalis, so he decided to be open about it when he started his own.
I think you are right, at least from what I've read; I have to admit to no actual experience with actual, modern hardware construction.

Maybe some day I'll try tinkering with a hardware project again. I was in college when 555 timers, 741 op amps, and 7400 logic gates were the basic building blocks for simple projects. Electronics, even at the hobby level, is quite different now.

I never really lost interest in hardware after my EE college work, I just got more and more interested in software and did all of my graduate and professional work on the CS side.
Handy field reference guide:

- Is it possible Indian restaurants like other cuisine were packaged for a non-Indian audience as much as an Indian audience?

- Too many people faint at the sight of having to read and pronounce an Indian name, how might it go with something that isn’t short like naan, cha? Even with naan (which means bread), bread is added on to hear people say bread bread. Cha/chai is tea, and Indians live to hear people say tea tea.

- In this way curry might be a common word added to dishes.

- Next time, at an Indian restaurant, see if you can over hear any Indian guests who exclude the word curry from their sentence when ordering.

- Maybe it’s worth asking Indian mothers if the word curry was used by them.

- The etymology of curry is readily available. At most it’s a style of cooking (like bbq).

- There’s actually over 500 languages in India, but they might have been all the same to the British, so let’s just call it all a curry.

The only dish I can think is kadhi which is made with cooked yogurt. It’s not spelled or pronounced like curry.

I hope that helps with the offence :)
New York of the 1970s [1] is a better analogy than 9/11.

San Francisco is going broke. Not because of terrorism, but due to its own devices. It will need to be bailed out. When that happens, the state will take over and face the realities its voters choose to ignore.

Using the tools at hand is often the best approach. That said, I've spent most of the last 13 years of my career automating browsers. For years, I used Selenium with a variety of libraries. After switching to Puppeteer/Playwright, I have zero interest in going back lol. Playwright actually has first party Python support. (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)

> The solution is to build and index denormalized n-th order relationship tables.

Can you elaborate on this?

Does an n-th order relationship table contain all the nodes reachable from some node going through n edges?

And you'd have one such table for each integer in the range 2..n?
I always opt out from these stand-ups, complete waste of time especially in engineering (not just software) and in small companies/startups where every single member in those stand-ups barely has any shared task with the others. I just update the chat/email if any, probably twice or even once a week.
Yes and we also feed dogs that have no labor input. And we harp on about social justice which is not totally related to labor. We have many nice things because we currently live in a human society and humans need to have nice things in order to be healthy and productive. Throwing old people into a giant blender as soon as they were no longer useful would not be advantageous.

Your argument is that humans don’t need electricity. You could also add that humans are self replicating or self assembling. These are advantages in cost and efficiency. Humans won’t be the cheapest or the most efficient for very long after AGI. And we certainly won’t be the best fit economically even if we were slightly better in some ways. You’re in complete denial. Why is it so hard to admit the plain and obvious fact that the machines won’t be good for human society?
I guess the somewhat cynical question-answer to that question is: As a business, is their mission to be productive and make great products, or to make employees happy to the detriment of the company’s productivity?

I think there are some interesting questions:

- Sam does not have equity in OpenAI. Does this mean he can potentially be removed at any point in time?

- OpenAI's profit arm will funnel excess profit to its non-profit wing. If this is the case, who determines excess profit?

- OpenAI's founding charter commits the company to abandoning research efforts if another project nears AGI development. If this happens, what happens to the profit arm?
Statistically, you think that regulating AI is pointless because another country will just push forward. So that’s not true? You think AGI should be prevented?
I guess there’s 2 types of managers - those concerned with day to day managerial things (resource allocation, roadmap planning, 1-on1’s, reviews, etc) and higher level managers concerned with strategy, leadership, managing managers, etc.

California’s beleaguered bullet train faces another hurdle: flooding from snow
There's a lot I disagree with here:

1. Non-union shops aren't meritocracies. The most "meritous" employees are also the kinds of employees that will work for table scraps and the "privilege" of doing what they do. Those folk make up the lower half of any org's tree. That's just good economics, try to argue otherwise to your shareholders and you'll get laughed out pretty quickly.

It's the folk whose main motivation is their paycheck and/or the power trip they get from pushing around folk who make up the upper half. There are just far too many obstacles and disinsentives to climb that ladder barring those motivations.

2. Everyone wants a meritocracy until they get one. Meritocracies make for terrible work environments for 90% of people in the org. It becomes a tyranny of those willing to perform metrics-hacking or win the "sleeping-at-work" olympics.

I'm not saying unions don't have their problems, but the idea that they are bad because they eliminate some intrinsically good meritocray that inevitably forms in their absence is among the worst arguments you can make imho.

Now, think of acquaintances of acquaintances and so on.

Checkmate
Salesforce has spent an insane amount of money on real estate. I think the return to the office has nothing to do with productivity or even management style and everything to do with the big towers with SalesForce on top.

The irony in this is that Salesforce literally set sales free from the office back in the late 90s and early 00s. When 9/11 hit, I didn't miss a beat: I did presentations with WebEx (we did the voice part with a conference call) and logged everything in my through-the-browser CRM at blazing ISDN speeds. But it worked well enough that at least enterprise software sales evolved to a have-laptop-will-travel culture.

Slack was a huge part of the work from home revolution of 2020.

the entry of the USSR into the war against Japan that ended the war

It is impossible to disentangle the events. The Soviets declared war on Aug 8, Nagasaki was Aug 9, surrender was proposed by Japan on Aug 10. It was the totality of events that finally caused Japan to surrender. The Japanese Supreme Council was split on surrender even after Nagasaki and USSR invading Manchuria.

Here is a quotation from Seal Kido, who was a leader in the peace faction in Japan.

On the eve of the atomic attacks, the peace faction’s influence was becoming strong enough to constitute a counterweight against the war faction; and the atomic bombs drastically reduced the sway of the war faction, and the peace faction gained momentum. In addition, the Soviet declaration of war further reduced the dominance of the war faction and gave the peace faction the upper hand. Therefore, I think that the atomic bombs alone could have allowed us to terminate the war. However, the Soviet Union’s entry into the war certainly made it easier [for us]. It is difficult to tell which event contributed more to the termination of the war: the atomic bombs or the Soviet Union’s declaration of war.

This is in fact one part of the post that was based on an unironic kernel of truth. I've wrestled with this more than most people. In particular I tried to fit cargo into the Fuchsia build system, with only partial success. That approach has been abandoned and Fuchsia now translates Cargo manifests into GN build rules, which seems to be the prevailing approach for polyglot builds, especially with Bazel.

However, the experience when doing pure Rust is night and day compared with stuff like CMake. And even in a polyglot build, the Cargo manifest is a reasonably good starting point, as argued recently by matklad[1].

Obviously, build systems and package managers at large scale are very challenging to get right, otherwise we'd have a good solution by now. I personally think Bazel is a pretty good step in the right direction, but it's very clunky and awkward for smaller projects. I found Neil Mitchell's classification[2] useful. Cargo is best-in-class for the "small" and arguably "medium" cases, but starts showing its limitations beyond that. Bazel is the reverse, one of the few really workable choices for "huge" but not a great experience otherwise.
