I'm not sure if this is possible anymore, but for a while, there was a way to copy over the compiled base system from the disk instead of compiling it all from scratch. Running your first emerge -vaDu world might end up recompiling everything anyway, depending on the age of the ISO, but you didn't have to do any compiling to get a base system deployed.

The OC has either survivor ship bias or a bad memory. I've never lived in SF but I've lived in Portland and work adjacent to mental health professionals and the stories that they have of people being victimized in the camps and shanty towns are tragic.

For everyone who learned to 'not get stabbed' (whatever that means), there are people who DO get stabbed, or sexually assaulted, or robbed of the little money they had.
> I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up

I've been starting to think this way as well. It feels like we're seeing something similar to the way that mass spam calls drastically changed the way people use the phones to the point where people don't recognize a phone number, they just don't pick up anymore. As the ratio of garbage goes up, people will just slowly stop using the medium.

My semi-crazy prediction is that AI like GPT are going to be the death of large social media sites. I don't think the internet will die, but I think we're going to return to a more local, trust-less internet like we had in the 90s and early 00s, but for a completely different reason.
Every time I have seen any form of social media/platform/forum/whatever put "free speech" and anti-censorship as their primary goals, it always ends the same way - hate speech, antisemitism, racism, sexism, etc.

Whether by design or because such sites just attract those kind of individuals, that's not good for a couple of key reasons:

1: Those kinds of interactions turn away many potential users

2: It makes advertising basically impossible (No potential advertiser wants to be associated with that kind of site)

There's a good reason that as sites like Reddit got larger, they started to clamp down on less desirable content.

And any form of social media with no advertising is always going to be very tiny and niche, and in general likely to die out quickly.
I wasn't even aware of the artificial limit (I'm in the UK), that's absurd... By "tea cup size" I meant the unrestricted 9 L tank.
Author here, happy to answer any questions! My "Introducing sqlite-vss: A SQLite Extension for Vector Search" [0] blog post has more details about the motivations behind this extensions, along with a demo. Includes a semantic search engine hosted on Datasette, build with sqlite-vss and sentence-transformers, on fly.io. Simple and cheap!

Though my favorite part about this extension (and all my other SQLite extensions[1]): you can `pip install sqlite-vss` for Python, `npm install sqlite-vss` for Node.js, or use https://deno.land/x/sqlite_vss for Deno! The underlying SQLite extension has been compiled on different platforms and uploaded to pip/npm/deno.land/x to make distribution easier. There's also pre-compiled extensions on each Github release if you just want to use it with the sqlite3 CLI.

Currently working on getting Mac M1 arm builds, hopefully by end of this week [2]

AWS is probably very stringent on user privacy on the services that they specifically enter into HIPAA BAAs covering or which are associated with other data-security-compliance-related agreements or certifications.

Amazon as a whole has quite a history of using business data of people they are selling services to for their own purposes, and I wouldn’t put it past them with any AWS services not covered by the compliance agreements/certifications.

> Purifying an (unnecessarily-) IO function into an ordinary function is a good exercise.

Agree! And I would add that you can "purify" a monadic function without having to rewrite it in non-monadic style. You can make it polymorphic over all monads and relegate the "impurity" to monadic functions that you pass as arguments/dependencies. A trivial example:

twice :: IO ()
twice = do
putStrLn "foo"
putStrLn "foo"

twice' :: forall m. m () -> m ()
twice' action = do
action
action

This is not that different to having a Spring bean that doesn't perform any effect directly—say, a direct invocation to "Instant.now()"—but instead receives a "Clock" object through dependency injection.

Haskell lets you express the idea of "program logic that only has effects through its dependencies" by being polymorphic over all monads.
I wonder if there could be a (or already is) a "teaching" Prelude designed for this purpose.

One of the reasons the standard Prelude includes partial functions and specialize versions of `map` and `filter` is to support the pedagogical use-case (as far as I understand the situation). Most production applications will use a custom Prelude of some kind in order to prevent programmers from using foot-guns like `head` or make things more general in the case of `map` and `filter`.

Turns out using linked-lists for everything isn't the best idea but a lot of Haskell applications will use them because it's in Prelude.

Bit of a balancing act supporting both use cases.

this comment completely misses the point. I did not suggest San Francisco needs to be like Zurich. With respect, I think it is idiotic to suggest that the only option for the city to be as safe as Zurich is to become literally exactly like Zurich.

I also didn't say anything about flipping a city's character in a decade. Whether it takes 1 decade, 2, 3 or 4 -- there is no reason to accept the idea that city just has to be unsafe and nothing can be done about it

Couple of points: 5.56x45 is a NATO caliber. Historically, the AK-47 used 7.62x39, and the more modern AK variants use 5.45x39. I'm sure the Ukrainians are happily taking anything that they can get at the moment, but I'd be surprised if their small arms at the start of the war were chambered for 5.56.

Second, I doubt that the private gun owners of the United States consume as much 5.56/.223 as the entirety of NATO. The cartridge is widely available, popular, and comparatively inexpensive because of the large military demand for it.

I'd be further very surprised if the combined US private consumption of all other centerfire[0] rifle cartridges adds up to the private US consumption of 5.56. The economies of scale behind 5.56 are huge. 5.56 can be had for under $1/round in bulk. Most other centerfire rifle cartridges aren't commonly sold in bulk (.308/7.62x51 being the only other one that comes to mind, which is also a NATO round). Basically anything that you might reasonably hunt deer[0] with is around $2/round.

The takeaway from all this should be that if NATO went to war, we might have to worry about the supply of 5.56. While there's a very visible part of the US gun culture that's dominated by the popularity of 5.56 and AR-pattern weapons, I don't think we can "thank" it for the abundance of 5.56 relative to the shortage of everything else that's being used in Ukraine.

[0] The .22 S/L/LR variants and the .17 derivatives are rimfire, which are entirely different from a manufacturing standpoint.

[1] I'm not going to get into the debate of whether 5.56 is suitable as a deer cartridge. I don't know. 5.56 is in broadly the same class of cartridges as the classic deer cartridges, at least from a manufacturing standpoint.
> If your application needs to call a 3rd party service like openAI, the only solution to safely not leak your API key is to have your app only communicate with a backend you own and call the openAI from there.

I've also seen vendors do things like issue client-side keys for AWS IAM users that can access their backend (in AWS) with a super locked-down role. This would be more interesting as a solution if IAM stuff was interoperable between cloud providers (CSP), since this dependency means you can't move to another CSP without bothering your customers. It also doesn't help in the OpenAI case because there isn't a way to mint limited-permission tokens.
I know you are joking but it’s actually not the worst thing in the world.

> But why $20k?

One side note, is that it appears to be $20k per maintainer vs per project.

From the post:

> GitHub Accelerator is a 10-week program where open source maintainers receive an initial sponsorship of $20K to work on their project ...

> The 2023 cohort has 20 projects, with 32 participants ...

As others have noted, it's not a lot of runway, but maybe enough to not have to freelance on the side and that full-time focus for 3 months could be enough to snowball into a full-time "ramen-profitable" business (maybe). It'll be interesting to see how the first cohort plays out.
Keeping creds safe is basic security practice, and we have the eternal September of programmers - which now applies to inexperienced people using AI to cobble together software. So there’s going to be a lot of these mistakes made and learned as they acclimate.
Good thing there are other groceries and farmer's markets and Prime delivery to fill the gap left by the one WF closing then. Living in the Sunset, yes it's true if I want to go to a Whole Foods I'd have to either drive, or bike or take public transit to the one over by the Haight, the one down at Stonestown mall or the one on Upper Market. But I don't usually because the Safeway is within walking distance and that's good enough for me most of the time and if not there's Other Avenues, Sunset Super, 22nd and Irving, and Gus's all relatively close by just to name a few off the top of my head.
The actual city of SF is not that large. Something like 800k people. Not very big of a footprint either. 8 is no small number.

Austin TX has 964K, is where Whole Foods was founded, and has 5 according to the locator on their website.

Los Angeles has almost 4M people and has 7. (As well as ones in various other cities that are intertwined with the weird geographic footprint, but also 4 times as many people in the "official" city limits for those 7.)
> there is no reason that SF has to be a lot less safe than Zurich.

Lack of Nazi gold to prop up a social net, which can later be defended tooth and nail with strong anti immigration policies while newer streams of illegal money such as mexican cartels are adquiered.

Maybe SF does not want money laundering for some of the worst people on the planet, to be its identity. But hey I guess the rolex watches and chocolate are pretty good.
The rise and fall of Argentina’s celebrity crypto pastor
The OpenPGP SKS keyservers are broken because they are append only. So script kiddies can do stuff like signing a particular key zillions of times or swamping the servers with zillions of bogus OpenPGP identities. Afterwards there is no way to fix things.

The system discussed in the article (Parakeet) is also append only. So it would be vulnerable to the same sort of attacks. The difference is that it can eventually expire old entries in a reasonable way to free up resources. So no help against signature attacks but possibly of help against the resource usage of bogus identities. The bogus identities would still exist though.

I think there might be merit to the overall idea of having a semi-trusted entity in charge of the system and then making it so that others can judge that what that entity is doing is reasonable. Still a problem if the entity goes rogue and you have to replace it. I suppose that is a problem in the Whatsapp case as well.
When the worry changes from too many people in the world to too few you have to wonder what the issue is. If the underlying systems rely on growth, they are nothing but Ponzi schemes, and our forefathers set us up to fail. If the population tops out at 10 billion I think we can call it enough.

> Internet is core part of today’s society

Processing is _the_ core part of all society. The internet has enabled compartmentalized access to specific types of information. Eventually humanity will realize that the information in their technology is fundamentally the _same_ as the information they deal with day to day. Instead of being subjected to the emotional magnet of these technologies they will be incorporated _into_ our daily processes to enhance them.

Neither the project Invidious nor the software Invidious does any kind of curation - it's just the usual YouTube recommendations, but as if all of the users of each Invidious instance were one person. It's interesting to see how the recommendations differ between instances, reflecting the interests of the average user on that instance.

I find that I enjoy YouTube a lot more with that kind of semi-personalised experience, in the same way that Hacker News has a collective but remarkably distinctive feeling compared to other forums/link aggregators.

> people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up

Regrettably this doesn't seem to be the case pre-AI - just look at the scare stories about 15 minute cities being "stealth lockdown zones" where people will be allocated to an area and forbidden to leave. Media literacy is dire and always has been: in the 19th century it was normal for actors playing baddies (Brutus, for instance) to get mobbed on the street, so stage doors were invented. In the 1960s, the BBC did a parody of Panorama and convinced people spaghetti grew on trees. Ghostwatch in the 90s remains a cult programme taken as evidence of the existence of ghosts by some.

The difficulty epistemically speaking is that in order to know something, _anything_ about the world, there must be trustworthy sources and people able to discern who they are. In the darkest timeline, fake news foreshadows the flood of misinformation by AI and renders all knowledge so difficult to trust that we enter a new dark age.

The last dark age was our illiteracy and superstitution, the next will be our own creations bewildering us so utterly that we have no idea what to believe anymore.

It quite obviously does use copyrighted material, but it's a dirty secret of these industries that so do their people. GPT and Dall-e will probably hide it better, but it's something the industry already has playbooks around.
