I buy GL.iNet routers, they've been incredibly reliable.

They come with OpenWrt on them, plus the vendor's web interface. You can flash regular OpenWrt which is the first thing I do.

Make sure any model you look at is supported on the ToH. It takes a while for brand new models to appear in stable owrt releases.

There are those cases also where you want to let the trolley go one way then push it back the top of the hill, throw the switch, and let it get the other way.
Savvy risk managers don’t tend to use retail brokerages not because of the risk but because other venues suit their operating model better.

That said if they were using Schwab for a long equity position they would not be worried about their shares being used for other creditors payback because the law says it can’t. Share holders have more senior claims than other creditors. Further, even if Schwab was insolvent there is a long chain of custody on equity shares managed by a too big to fail entity (cede) to fall back on.

Other kinds of tradable assets don’t have such protections (such as fx futures or even fractional shares) so when trading these risk managers actively do look at the balance sheet of the clearing partners. In many cases that is a too big to fail entity like the CME but clearing default was a hot topic the last time I worked in the space. I don’t know the specifics of LedgerX held crypto but given it’s a cftc regulated exchange and a bankruptcy judge actually having to rule on this, my guess is those tokens do not have the same protections as a google share at Schwab.

None of this of course matters for a single btc, that’s not enough to get professional risk management involved and if the crypto space went away tomorrow you’d just move along on losing that. But! For someone wanting to put on a large short (think a Soros style bet) figuring out how to manage the counterparty risk is a big part of the trade and it would be very common to not put that trade on with an exchange or otc desk headquartered in the country whose currency you are shorting. Precisely because you’d be worried that the basis for your short thesis would cause contagion that collapsed your counterpart.

I can see how that thinking could be extended to an exchange whose business was focused on crypto. Again, I don’t know the crypto space well enough to take have a meaningful opinion.

Most of the ones that pop up on Meetup for me (and I'm referring to hiking groups, not running groups, I can't run for very long at all) seem to pick trail routes that will be at least 5-8 miles long, and you risk getting lost if you have to stop early, or they insist on a specific fast pace in the description, or it's an hour drive away just to get there, or they're in the middle of the day on a weekday, which I pretty much can't ever do.

Pretty rare I find one of these that are both around 3 miles (about my limit most days unless I'm at a park all day with breaks, my feet and sometimes lower back start getting pretty sore) and a more casual pace. I do attend those that I find, though. But that tends to be like 3 per year. Kind of defeats the purpose of making friends in these groups.

I don't think I've found any that are just 'go as far as you want and we'll meet you back at the local Starbucks' though, at least not near me.

Here's the next few upcoming, as an example:

"6 mile Hike Not a Beginner's hike" - (Tuesday midday)

"About 4.5- or 5-miles total" - (Tuesday midday)

"Walk about 2 miles" (but Tuesday midday and 45 minutes away, can't drive there, hike 2 miles, and drive back during a workday)

"We will be hiking 4.5 miles at a faster pace (3.75 mph) dependent on trail conditions." - (Evening, but fast pace and a bit too long)

"6.5 miles with shorter options" - (from the map it looks like the shorter option is "turn back around", it's one big loop. it's on a Sunday but it's also over an hour drive away from me)

No mention of meeting anywhere afterwards in any of those.
Marginalia comes up on HN every so often, and I always look at it, think "oh that's neat!", maybe add it to my bookmarks toolbar, and then forget about it. Are there a lot of people who find themselves using it daily?

I'm fortunate, in being involved in a Fellowship that forces many folks, that would otherwise, never have anything to do with each other, together.

I have made many friends. A lot of these friendships are decades old. Many of these folks are ones that have huge differences from me, in things like politics and religion; yet we've still got each others' backs, and it is always a genuine pleasure to meet.

That's why work is a great fulcrum for friendship. A shared task/values thing is way to find common ground.

If we don't have work, one of my most common suggestions, is to get involved in nonprofit/volunteer work.
GL.inet has openwrt from factory with a nice ui. I tried one of their cheap ones.
No politician is immune to criticism. Nupur Sharma made incendiary comments on live television and Mohammad Zubair has the right to quote and criticize those comments. Zubair's quotes were not "misinformation" since his video compiled Sharma's comments verbatim. If Sharma did not want to anger the public, she should not have made provocative statements in a public setting.

Sharma's comments did result in violence. The Supreme Court blamed Sharma for inciting a beheading that was carried out by extremist perpetrators:

> The Supreme Court Friday slammed suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma, for her controversial remarks on the Prophet. While hearing the plea filed by Sharma seeking transfer of the FIRs against her to Delhi, the Supreme Court accused the leader of “igniting emotions across the country” with her “disturbing” remarks.

> “She has threat or she has become a security threat? The way she has ignited emotions across the country. This lady is single handedly responsible for what is happening in the country.” “She and her loose tongue have set the entire country on fire.”

> The Supreme Court said her outburst is responsible for the unfortunate incident at Udaipur, where a tailor was murdered.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/nupur-sharma-supreme...

As for Kajal Hindustani, it looks like her situation is being handled appropriately:

> Police have registered a first information report (FIR) against a woman activist for her alleged hate speech and detained more than 50 people on the charge of rioting following a communal clash at Una town in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath that left two persons injured, an official said on Sunday, PTI reported.

> “We have registered two FIRs. One is against Kajal Hindustani for hate speech, and another against the mob for rioting," Superintendent of Police Sripal Sheshma told reporters.

This will largely depend on how much (read: bandwidth) you want to route. I used to be a big fan of the PCEngines ALIX boxes (https://openwrt.org/toh/pcengines/apu) because you could run pretty much anything on them, but with big gigabit connections nowadays, they're less well suited.

If you're looking to route the lower end of things, you're likely to be fine with an SBC like the above. If you're looking for more, then something with Hardware offload is worth looking out for. With OpenWRT, you're likely to be looking at either a fairly meaty X86 for gigabit, or an off-the-shelf for which it supports HW offload.
The front page was changed to state this is not affiliated with other popular internet based gpt's in first few sentences. I get why people are cynical but the project really is trying to do the right thing.
More specific in my case: are there any APs that would be good replacements for Unifi AP AC models or above? Looking to replace my unifi setup with something simpler (don’t need to provision APs centrally as I just have one, but want the rock solid reliability and speed).
The thought I had while reading, which you also touched on towards the end, was:
You might indeed not need a model powerful enough to compute PARITY in 'one shot', if what you are aiming for is 'only' modeling human thought. Humans would be terrible at a task like computing PARITY for a long binary sequence if you asked them to do it _instantly_, without taking notes and without going through the sequence iteratively. But that's essentially what we are asking the LLMs to do at the moment.

Interestingly, the LLM trained on human language doesn't _know_ that it has this limitation, whereas the humans it is trying to imitate did not, so it is trying its best to one-shot everything (just like the examples it has seen seem to do), though 'talking to itself' about the problem might make it a lot easier.

So, perhaps similar to the 'show your work' approach and to your UT approach, if we could offer some 'internal scratch space' to the LLMs and train them to use it in order to reach an answer, they might get a lot better at all the kinds of tasks that a human might prefer to reason through first as well -- though training and inference would become a lot more expensive, I suppose.

People have repeatedly shown that they are not willing to pay for the content they consume. They might pay 10€ a month for Spotify or Netflix, but small independent creators are lucky to get an occasional donation.

Affiliate marketing is a deal with the devil, but it's still a deal worth making. They let me work full time on building a useful resource and offering it for free. I can work with dignity, without having to beg for money, and still without selling out.

They similarly finance many people whose content saved me time, money and stress.

They also finance lazy people, some of which steal my content. However killing their income stream kills mine, and it still leaves you with far more prevalent first-party blogspam.

In my opinion, the solution lies in better content curation tools. None of this would be a problem if search engines surfaced quality content once in a while.
China absolutely will take Taiwan by force. Xi recently stated it as an objective at the start of his 3rd term.

At least it still beats the experience of taxis in Brisbane. Before Uber were allowed at the airport, I had multiple trips where drivers assumed I was a visitor and tried to take me on circuitous routes to increase their fares, and the experience after nights out was no better.

Since the infinite funding stopped artificially holding prices low, I still found Uber cheaper generally speaking, and with a better experience. (I will say that my experience living in the UK does not hold the same; taxis here are generally better.)
You're right! You can nvlink 32 systems with 8 h100s! That's 20 terabytes of VRAM total!
For me there are two parts at play: consumerism and capitalism, without one, neither the other.

If consumers don't purchase the products produced by the capitalist factories then the system would come to a standstill.

(I am thinking of the companies running/ordering from the factories not necessarily the factories themselves, i.e. Chinese factory.)

This means that as a consumer, I can influence the system by not purchasing certain products. The larger consumer group, the larger the change.
You can't deny that residential communities here in NL are quite different to those even in other European countries, let alone the main Anglosphere countries (US/UK/Canada/AU/NZ). The bikes help a lot sure, but there's more things here than the bikes that contribute to the sense of community, and it does work. (It's obviously not perfect)

The article is based on a fundamentally stupid premise

> So it won’t be possible to assign all AI income to their human or corporate owners, as in many cases there won’t be any.

It’s not possible for something to be owned without a legal entity being the owner. Whether that’s a real person or a corporate one. For an autonomous agent to come into possession of an income in the absence of an owner, some type of fraud must have occurred, which would invalidate the basis of any “property rights” the author is supposing it might have. The authors idea of laundering your labour through an autonomous agent is even more fantasy based. Honestly who approves this sort of thing for publication?… seems like it’s just playing into peoples fear of AI
So you are complaining about the lack of traffic signals, not the roundabout.
Windows 10/11 would look great with an interface close to Zukitre for GTK2/3 from BSD/Linux world. Boring, gray neutral, yes; but it has clear buttons and widgets. Put a dark mode based on that and the problem it's solved.

Idk, there are many cities outside the US where I wouldn't want to stay more than absolutely necessary, let alone raise children.
> A design like libpq, ODBC, etc where the sql syntax needs to be parsed at runtime rather than compile time is considered "dynamic sql" by the standard, and the standard acts like it is less likely to be provided than this interface. Obviously that is hogwash.

Yet the “static” variant sounds like a match made in heaven for optimizations that need to know the specific queries you are going to be making ahead of time, like Noria (Materialize.io, etc.). So maybe not so dumb after all, whatever its actual popularity.
I get no results at all for this seemingly simple https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=how+to+draw+a+3d+b..., presume it's been HN hugged to death?
A similar thing I'm familiar with and like is sqlc.dev, it forces writing SQL in another file, which is a win if you need multiple languages or want to lint the SQL separately.

SQLc is a compiler that translates your SQL statements into little RPC like functions with all the types translated for you. It has the added benefit of making sure you don't typo a table or column name, so you don't have to worry about that exploding at runtime.

GL.inet are not using openwrt from factory. You can see in many forum threads. It's a custom one, sometimes derived from vendor SDK, like qsdk. I have one very nice small router from them, which can run mainline openwrt, but this is not always the case

Oh I agree. The US tried it at Yucca Mountain. This is where point number 2 about NIMBY attitudes comes in.
The other side of this is that it is brutally hard to obtain a post as a professor at a university (way more supply than demand), and professors having no protections at all might find themselves moving all over the country for whatever posts they can find when they get fired by some well-connected student who didn't like them saying the word "gay" or something.

My pet peeve is COM, the idea in abstract is quite good, the tooling besides VB 6 and C++/CX, not so much.

Even with .NET we need a whole book on COM interop to actually understand how they go together, and now CsWinRT has rendered most of it outdated.

I love the idea of what cafes were supposed to be a century ago. But nowadays HN or some subreddits plays the same role. Now I can live in bum-fuck-nowhere and interact with other people from wherever. While saving on exorbitant rent just to be close to meeting points.

On other other hand, this kills the romanticised idea of the cities. But are we after „city life“ as a cargo cult? Or exchange of ideas? Internet enables later from even most remote points of the world. While former feels more like roleplaying nowadays.

Community building is slightly different from cafe culture though. Cafes culture is similar to social media bubbles. Community that connects people physically living in the same people allowing to solve practical problems of the day is needed one way or another.
Legal perspective? The only way you can enforce legality is with force. And whose is going to do that? The UN?

Countries gain sovereignty either when the country they split off of allows it or they have the means to occupy and defend the land they claim is soverign.
What I did was to look for good value second hand routers nearby to me on Kijiji (Canadian classified market similar to Craigslist) then narrow them down by OpenWrt support.

Using this method, I bought 3 wireless routers 2.5-3 years ago for a total of about 50 CAD. They have been running as dumb wireless APs (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap) ever since, to great effect.
Nintendo Will Punish Hacker Gary Bowser for Rest of His Life
Just a warning, this point release has a breaking change for a bunch of devices (ipq40xx: MR8300, EA8300, EA6350, and maybe more).

The result is a soft brick of the router if you try to upgrade.

The fix has been released in master and branch 22.x but there is NO official stable firmware with the fix currently.

The faulty firmwares are still up (4 days currently)

IMHO, the handling of this is pretty bad as the bug was known beforehand, there was a fix or a rollback fix but none was taken into account.

I think they made lots of the SPARC processors for Sun? They were definitely big news in the 90s.

They also made very impressive HDs in the 80s, they are definitely one of the great tech companies that maybe don't get the recognition they deserve.

But if your hypothetical spouse has friends, you have to move near those friends as well. And if their hypothetical spouses also friends, those also have to be nearby. And let's not get into hypothetical children, their friends and the parents of those friends.

I've tried but it's just impossible to make this sort of idea work unless you're terminally solipsistic or everyone you care about already comes from a very small social circle. The second-order effects kill it.

In my view this illustrates one of the great advantages of pair bonding: You only have to coordinate your decisions with one person.
> There's this phenomenon called homohysteria, which is the fear of being perceived as gay that I think really, really is destructive for men's friendships

This is so true, some people even speak that out, something like "They're so close they're so gay," but the truth is this makes people afraid to connect with a dude.
it is not like gays are bad, but when you're not gay, you wouldn't want others to assume that you are.
I don't even use it daily. It's not a Google replacement, and it's not trying to be either. It's more of an on-ramp for the obscure web at this point.

Well yes and no, in not purchasing something I am also making a statement.

Manipulation has to do with education and sources of information. But as long as the notion that happiness can only be found in purchasing products, then not much will change.

Perhaps poverty can be a good thing.
The router I see being recommended for openWRT lately is the Belkin RT3200 (also called Linksys E8450, they're the same device) because it's a cheap router you can get at Walmart and has 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) support out of the box with openWRT.
Broadcom's driver model is annoying. Definitely why Merlin shines here.

Some people get lucky.
Thank for the link but that seems misleading or just wrong. “A per se A” means

“a” (per se = by itself = as a letter) [spells the word] “a”

Nobody would recite the alphabet as

a per se a, bee, …, aitch, i per se i, jay, …

and ending with

… zee and per se and

means

… zee and “&”

It was not, at claimed there,

Y, Z, and & per se &

In that case the modern name would be _andampersand_!

I’ve used it and met some relatively normal (and straight) dudes. You’re right, the majority of the men using it are gay, and often fairly predatory with their intentions, but if you’re discerning you’re able to find folks there to hang out, not hook up.
