Masks interfered with O2-uptake and CO2-release and compromised respiratory compensation. Though evaluated wearing durations are shorter than daily/prolonged use, outcomes independently validate mask-induced exhaustion-syndrome (MIES) and down-stream physio-metabolic disfunctions. MIES can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups. So far, several mask related symptoms may have been misinterpreted as long COVID-19 symptoms.

I gotta say the (new) keycloak operator is super basic and doesn't really support changes in image tag. it always assumes a keycloak upgrade and will automatically scale down your keycloak to 1 instance to do an "upgrade". of course this will overload that one node, it will crash, and all your sessions are gone.
I'm not sure if anybody is actually using keycloak & kc-operator in production on kubernetes.

> And we guarantee that jobs won’t be picked up by more than one worker through simple read/write row-level locks. The new system is actually kind of absurdly simple when you look at it. And that’s a good thing. It’s also behaved flawlessly so far.

Wouldn't this lead to contention issue when a lot of multiple workers are involved?

> Corporations don't need to replace Richard Stallman because they already got Eric Raymond to replace his entire movement with the "apolitical" version: the Open Source Initiative.

True. Corporations have successfully coopted Free Software and GPL into OSS. And the final stab was SaaS. Now the majority of OSS projects and programming languages are corporate-driven.

It's difficult to imagine Corporations fearing Stallman.
I know NFT disgust should be an automatic reflex but chains of title are probably one of the few areas where a publicly accessible, append only, blockchain ledger is a clear win for everyone involved.
>How would one determine whether I were a non-believer?

It would be according to what is apparent from your statements, observances and symbolisms. If you wear a cross or a sockcloth for example, you are counted among the Christians until otherwise proven, a similar principle is applied to wearing a yarmulke, tefflin, kufi or hijab. These are of course not perfect metrics, but this was the standard used in the middle ages in Arabia, and it generally sufficed for demonstrating group identity in practice.

>Do the benefits outweigh the harm?

I think that it is important for humans to have some shared basis for a worldview, and the abrahamic religions encompass a significant enough portion of the world without so much variation as to be as problematic as other belief systems.

>Is it ok to be a non-practicing Jew, or is it required to be orthodox? Are Mormons acceptable? 7th Day Adventists? Jehovah Witnesses? Why or why not?

This is a question I have been exploring, and that I need to do more rigorous thinking on. I cannot provide a satisfactory answer at the moment, other than that people who take wholly symbolic positions on religions would definitely be excluded from those definitions (e.g: jungians, nontheist quakers). Other groups are a greyer area to me.

>How does one believe something when they simply and sincerely do not? Is it possible to force someone to believe something?

It's not necessary for us to go exploring your thoughts, that would be impractical and invasive. We need only concern ourselves with what's external and the impact it has on society.

Although it's not possible to force someone to believe something, practising a belief may eventually lead to you feeling an affinity towards it if you're on the fence.

>Can you cite examples of blasphemy laws which have proven to be a net positive in society?

This question actually does very well in demonstrate the conflict in worldview that becomes apparent in the assumptions we use. What is 'positive'? As far as many religious people are concerned, a lack of blasphemy and irreligiosity is itself beneficial.

>How do we deal with people having similar beliefs but exercising them wildly differently? Is that ok? Why or why not

Any given belief system necessarily has a certain tolerance for variation in beliefs, and usually a distinction is drawn between creedal differences and practical differences, with the former being a greater concern than the latter.

> Don't pick random instances, get together with friends and family on a community-owned instance.

That isn't a social media, that's a mailing list. Won't even have to be on the Internet, you can put up a physical bulletin board and the result would be the same. Might as well drive to their places with packs of cans in the back. Discord/Mattermost works too.

> Why so much FUD ? Why the hate ?

It's not FUD or hate or exaggerated non-issue when a ton of instances are blacklisting the very top second and third and some bunch of top 20 instances. I understand that getting held responsible for users' legal responsibilities is naturally never worth Gargron's time, but if everyone has to to justify blocking pawoo.net(850k users), mstdn.jp(350k) and misskey.io(150k), totaling >17% of total ActivityPub population(7900k), there is clearly a family of elephants in the room.
You're using "does nothing" to mean "doesn't automatically solve" here. Understanding how something develops gives you places to look to attempt a treatment. You don't stop sending firetrucks because some houses have burned despite firetrucks.
Super curious how you did this! Doesn’t 30B model require a hefty computer to run locally (assuming you’re tuning a non-quantized version)
By the way, I was thinking of something along the lines of a powerful FPGA with direct access to large quantities of very fast NAND flash, likely many chips in parallel, which will save having to load the model into RAM..... So it will be able to directly run from NAND flash, which opens up the possibility of using very large models???

Power consumption would not be an issue if it's used sporadically throughout the day, it's not like it needs to run continuously?

There is still the issue of NAND flash read disturb, which I haven't fully looked into yet.

You didn't add to the conversation, except adding your own personal problems as noise. This is working as intended. Hopefully this information will be helpful to all of us, going forward.
Does "free homes for the homeless" possibly work in the US without becoming "free basic homes for everyone"? It is ludicrously easy to attack politically otherwise ("you're working two jobs to make rent for you and your family, and now they want to give these people a free home that's new and nicer than your crappy old apartment!"), and you know the American right would rip it to shreds, given they already see social security/medicare as too expensive. EDIT: there's also the issue of "they don't wanna do things that way, so we're gonna give them nicer things; meanwhile, all the rest of you should keep following the laws kthx." We need to figure out how to reintegrate people into society without giving up on the ideas of that society in the first place.

From what I've looked up, places with much more established shelter programs and capacity than SF have fewer problems than SF. It makes zero sense to refuse to even start there. Personally, I would start with shelters and with programs to try to prevent homelessness in the first place; the input funnel is the key variable here, because as you mention, everything else becomes much harder after that.
Dumb. Ford's sales are mostly their F-150. Very few people want a lightning and very few can afford them. Imagine dumping $60-$100k+ on something that's worse than it's cheaper ICE version in every way.

Also, the used EV market is going to be trash. These are throw away vehicles. The only way they keep selling is government force mandates and rebates.
Super cool, just signed up. Going to see how these first trial drafts go. Thanks!
#usernamechecksout
This section has been rewritten (changed) in the latest (internal) draft of the CRA based on feedback of various open source foundations as far as I know.

I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to share but it'll be public at some point in April I believe.
In many scenarios a DB/SQL-backed queue is far superior to the fancy queue solutions such as RabbitMQ because it gives you instantaneous granular control over 'your queue' (since it is the result set of your query to reserve the next job).

Historically people like to point out the common locking issues etc... with SQL but in modern datbases you have a good number of tools to deal with that ("select for update nowait").

If you think about it a queue is just a performance optimisation (it helps you get the 'next' item in a cheap way, that's it).

So you can get away with "just a db" for a long time and just query the DB to get the next job (with some 'reservations' to avoid duplicate processing).

At some point you may overload the DB if you have too many workers asking the DB for the next job. At that point you can add a queue to relieve that pressure.

This way you can keep a super dynamic process by periodically selecting 'next 50 things to do' and injecting those job IDs in the queue.

This gives you the best of both worlds because you can maintain granular control of the process by not having large queues (you drip feed from DB to queue in small batches) and the DB is not overly burdened.
I have the feeling that TDD-oriented people like me tend to do a lot of top-down, at least mentally. I'll frequently write the general behavior (in my case either the API or runtime params and inputs) then work my way down to make it work.

Somewhere in the middle, however, we all need to go down the layers to either store something in a database or figure out how to work on a collection of items. This turns the process bottom-up to some extend.

Then the very last phase is going back and forth until both solutions meet in the middle.
Were Prequel using RaabitMQ to stay cloud platform agnostic when spinning up new environments? Always wondered how companies that offer managed services on the customers cloud like this manage infrastructure in this regard. Do you maintain an environment on each cloud platform with a relatively standard configuration, or do you have a central cluster hosted in one cloud provider which the other deployments phone home to?
On the hand I know exactly what you mean about Greenwald and Taibbi (and so many other neoreactionary media folks), but it's also where I get great content from economists (Noah Smith, Claudia Sahm, Doomberg) and technologists (our own Simon Willison, Gergely Orosz, Molly White).

The media folks are clearly escaping scrutiny and playing to their base, but there are many excellent Substackers in other fields!
If the facial recognition software was open source, it would still be used to facially recognize people. There's no guarantee the algorithms would be better, but even if they were, that wouldn't stop them from being applied in a biased fashion. There are no technical solutions to human governance and society, we need human solutions for those.
Disagree that this is a major breakthrough :) but it is probably a marginal improvement.
They're not training on edge :)
This is impressive and super informative, thank you!

> The issued CA includes a name constraint so that the Cage can only issue a cert for {cage_name}.{app_uuid}.cages.evervault.com

I noticed recently that Chrome doesn't honor a name constraint on a trust root[1]. So the name constraint you mention on the intermediary certificate should be honored, but any name constraints on the Cages root CA may not be (I'm not sure of there is one).

As far as I know, there's no requirement to do so. The folks at BetterTLS have offered to track this behavior across different TLS clients, but I'm curious if you've tested any TLS client behaviors.

> The Crypto API runs on loopback, and the user process can access it on 127.0.0.1:9999.

This reminds me of the AWS Metadata API. If an attacker can trick the user process to read and leak data from that API, they can privilege escalate[2]. AWS hardened that API, which may be a good approach to follow [3].

It is bonkers how little code and need-to-now is necessary to deploy cutting edge models in an Elixir app these days.

I didn't realize until a recent side project just how much progress had been made in Nx until I started implementing parts of Nx Serving myself only to find the Nx libraries already have distributed batched serving, faiss, pg_vector support and more.

Makes me want to quit all work obligations to hit the books and build product with Nx.
I like your counter approach to everything we read lately on the topic!

I think to your point, besides the quality of the output (that we can challenge with every tool, AI or not), the problem reside in the prioritization aspect of it. Knowing you have 1000 issues is great, but knowing which one are the most critical and why, is much better if you really want to remediate them!

IMHO, AI should really help security tools when it comes to testing or providing remediation suggestions, but we should avoid using it as the engine to surface findings.
Curious how they plan to handle handles. Right now they're using full names for link text and having the URL as the unique identifier. Seems difficult to account for in the actual notes when you have multiple instances of the same name or full name (for example I'm @Zachary).
Nothing specific about this project, and don't feel obligated to respond, but I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done with Elixir and the related ecosystem. Great language, great tools, and a helpful, welcoming community. It was a perfect introduction to practical functional programming.

Haven't found a big project for it yet, but I've done a bunch of little side projects since a friend who worked at Appcues gave me the hard sell on it around 2018.
his username is literally irrational... kinda makes sense
No I mean Columbus. It's easy: Clintonville vs Linden. Communities that literally share the same street names that are cut by railroad tracks and a freeway.

I've lived in both, both are equally nice and equally nice property and neighbors. Linden is incredibly cheaper. At a glance I'm seeing around 100k price difference with similar sized homes.
You do. Most off the early levels are kanji that a first grader would know, and it very loosely stays organized by grade level, with a lot of allowances.
The best thing about using PostgreSQL for a queue is that you can benefit from transactions: only queue a job if the related data is 100% guaranteed to have been written to the database, in such a way that it's not possible for the queue entry not to be written.

Brandur wrote a great piece about a related pattern here: https://brandur.org/job-drain

He recommends using a transactional "staging" queue in your database which is then written out to your actual queue by a separate process.
They are comparable to the first ChatGPT proof of concept from say early 2022. The reason many of us are excited is because we may be a year or two away from being able to run a ChatGPT if the open source models follow a similar curve.
I thought the possibility to run these LLMs on everyday hardware would be further on the future and in the beginning more limited to big servers.

But this could be the equivalent of the Low Orbit Ion Canon for phishers and scammers
Yes, you're way off base :D But it's a welcome miss, because I found your experience interesting anyway, and relevant.

My first point was that if it were true that "technical and social leadership" indeed was compatible and even "well-aligned", then why is it we don't see that in people in leadership positions? Where are they?

Then I pre-empted the tired argument that we don't see them because they've been oppressed for so long. I suggested that culture has been so "progressive" in recent years, that there are no longer any positive male role models (the over-compensating pendulum swing, in place of actual progress), so now that that's done, let's see what effect it has had on future society in 20 years, because we won't be able to blame "the patriarchy" or whatever any more.

Now having said all that, I'm super happy to hear that you've had a positive experience in diverse workplaces :) I'm old, and remember when being openly gay wasn't fun.
If they are amazing, then ChatGPT must be God-like in your view.

I've been underwhelmed by Alpaca and Alpaca-LORA and LLaMA all at 13B but I have not tried higher params.
Nope, not in my experience. They will happily ram themselves at full speed into your solid-block-of-steel workpiece if you tell them you (thereby probably causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage).
A couple of things there.

1. A Verbal Contract Isn’t Worth the Paper It’s Written On -- attributed to Samuel Goldwyn, the G of MGM. I don't agree with all the advice to work 2 jobs simultaneously but definitely wait for a written offer. No sensible HR person is going to have an issue with that.

2. In the case of acquisitions/mergers/etc. make it crystal clear that you're not trying to claim a school/employer with maybe more cachet/recognition but where you actually went to/worked at is part of someone else now (or defunct) so if they want to confirm past attendance/employment that's where they need to go.

I'm not going to say I worked for Dell even though a string of 2 past employers are "Dell" now via a string of acquisitions. (I might say, these employers, now part of Dell Technologies though the companies are well enough known that I could probably skip the Dell reference which is irrelevant other than they'll pay me a pension someday.)
Which LLM can run on apple's neural cores / GPU cores? I can only run on plain ol' CPU cores (llama), and it runs fine on my Ryzen CPU for less than half the price of that system. That being said I'm switching from Ubuntu to Arch cause I'm sick of all my packages being way out of date!
Ease of use is what is going to change everything. Using natural language to ask something and getting an answer is different from what we had before. I knew I could automate a lot of my paperwork with scripts but as I am not a programer I never gave it more than a cursory look. Last Dec while playing around with ChatGPT I was able to get it to write some python scripts that resulted in my spending less than 20-25 min on tasks that I was spending 20-25 hours on. Now could I have written the scripts myself probably but it would have taken me months whereas with chat gpt it took me 2-3 hours to get a working scripts and another 1-2 hours to optimise them.

If there were no such thing as cryonics I would travel to Brazil and go to the Amazon River and build a raft on it and live aboard it and fish and pick fruit and stare up in the sky and ponder The mystery of Life until it all ends.. why bother with this rat race and children and the worries of life when it's really just nothing ...has no meaning etc
This will no longer be needed with the next release, awaiting app review approval.
I am not saying going back to the same job, I am saying working with the same people at a new job. All of my former bosses have tried to recruit me to any new company they move to, and that is partly because I am always professional if I leave a company.

I have zero loyalty to a company, but I have loyalty to my coworkers.
The federal mandated EV push is clearly in the works. Takes the edge off “bet the company” when you can ask POTUS to manufacture demand.
I can tell when there is a pattern of someone repeating the same falsehoods despite correction. I cannot know what their motivation truly is but I can apply Occam's razor for a shrewd guess.
The argument they continually make saying OpenSea is better for users than services like YouTube, Steam and Spotify because of the take-rate is so absurd to me.
That gives a limitation of knowledge, and says nothing about whether there is a fundamental difference.
Never heard of.
Sure but that's never mentioned... this is always talked about as common sense "this is how you make sure your battery doesn't die." It seems as though problems with parasitic drain are so common that this has become standard advice?
Agreed !

If prefetch was the issue; they could have even used AMQP's basic.get - https://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-quickref.html#basic.get
We've inadvertently "load tested" our distributed locking / queue impl on postgres in production, and so I know that it can handle hundreds of thousands of "what should I run / try to take lock on task" queries per minute, with a schema designed to avoid bloat/vacuuming, tuned indices, and reasonably beefy hardware.

Canonical/Red Hat.

The changes have largely been the two of them warring for control of key projects, such that other distros are forced to fall in line and become second-class to theirs (why risk the knock-off when you can go straight to the source?). Red Hat's won every one of these battles so far.
Yes! `supabase init` and `supabase start` gets most of the way there! Customizing the ports in `supabase/config.toml` makes having multiple supabase instances running easy. This works great for all the Postgres, auth, and storage things, as well as real-time functionality. My engineers have a single package.json script to get everything up and running.

I work at an agency, and the dev teams run supabase locally. We use Prisma for migrations and maintaining our SQL functions and storage configurations. `supabase stop --backup` is our friend.

Not being able to run multiple edge functions at a time kept us leaning into Cloud Run and Cloudflare. I'm excited about today's announcement.
They will instead crash because of an uncaught exception or a panic handler - end result is the same.
