Anyone who is a developer is likely comfortable with Linux. I feel most non-devs could probably make do with a basic distro, but there's plenty of small gotchas that we don't even give a second thought to.

Pine is clear who their audience is: "This is limited quantity production due to a severe global electronic components shortage. Please do not order the Pinebook Pro if you’re seeking a substitute for your X86 laptop, or are just curious and you’re ordering it with an intent to file a return/refund return request. These pre-orders are meant for enthusiasts familiar with the Arm architecture and interested in the PineBook Pro for this specific reason. Thank you."

However, this does underpin the point that ARM-based computers are extremely viable.
I’ve always viewed all in one mode for Loki as a demo or very small install version. It’s meant to be run in its component architecture as a scaling ingestion and query engine.

That said:
1) I feel like Loki is languishing and not reaching its full potential. User experience needs a lot of work.

2) Grafana is a for profit company

3) Grafana sees its future in the margin rich Saas offering

4) open source is still supported, but only to a certain point and the rest is commercial. I wouldn’t expect material support if you’re not paying for it.
You’d need to wash the sensors and return their caps with protective fluids. It would be totally possible to automate, but perhaps the same overall cost as buying industrial grade sensors which can handle long term submersion.

You’d also need to ensure the caps contained enough storage solution at the right concentration. Over time the probes would introduce drops of nutrient solution (unless you rinsed them with distilled water, in which case you’d dilute the storage solution), and you’d need to replenish it.
Not speaking for anyone else, but breaks are important. I am more productive working a cycle of 50 minutes “work” then taking 10 minute breaks. I would count my walking outside to get fresh air (or decompressing with some HN) work as it’s helping me solve problems.

But then again, sleep is super important to being productive but I wouldn’t call that work either.

I am in no way suggesting that it is wrong. I do however feel this level of "built upon the work of others" is different.

> The "Free Market" does do a far better job of rapidly and semi-accurately allocating resources and labor than central planning.

I'm really curious if the IoT and AI age we're entering changes this. It doesn't seem like an immutable law of the universe - my guess is that people's self-interest and the challenges of scaling communication are the root cause. Objective analytics and AI systems to synthesize information might change the efficacy of central planning; also, the current free market implementation appears that it's being twisted as externalities become of larger focus (ie climate change)
Right, so what's the problem with gpt4free then?

> employers had a burden of showing that their tests were sufficiently related to the posted job

so why not just create a test that actually tests for the skills needed for the job? that would be the obvious way to optimize profit from a business perspective.

the fact that employers don't do that is a pretty clear sign that the purpose of degree requirements is explicitly discriminatory, the same as "IQ" tests (which are completely fraudulent).
I made a shell script that can be used to generate a diff of what data was modified in your pg database between two points in time. I use it to help me get a quick sense of what certain actions do without having to dive into the code too deeply. It's a pretty simple thing, but has been valuable to me quite a bit. https://github.com/denvaar/pgdiff
Hi! This is a big interest of mine as a CTO who spans both HW and SW. LLMs are really good at things where creation is hard but validation is easy. That's a great fit for software where unit testing is easy, but a big challenge for hardware where "validating" can take weeks for a PCB to come back from the fab.

I've been playing with GPT4 for both software and hardware and I've been impressed with how much electrical background knowledge GPT4 has, but because of the validation problem it doesn't "just work" out of the box like it does with software.

There are a lot of interesting places to add it in the hardware value chain though :) Would love to chat more about it if you're interested!
This is why Microsoft's takeover of Github (and OpenAI for that matter) is so tragic. They weren't required to take this down. It got taken down because Microsoft didn't like it. Microsoft now has their hooks in the open source community and can crush any project who does something they don't like.
(author) The Voyager is neat, though for obvious reasons I consider it a portable workstation. I still like the Solbourne S3000 most in that category of systems. The Voyager is pretty and in colour, but the S3000 has that flaring gas plasma display that can heat and light a room. :)
Yet some say Ukraine has been quite successful precisely because of their cloud strategy. Opinions vary, of course.

The original announcement (via a DeepL translation) indicates that also data of EU citizens was involved, so maybe you are on the right track [1].

Best Practices for Managing On-Call Rotations
Not just Oracle, at Cisco we got sued by California for Indian managers discriminating against other Indians on the basis of caste. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24952698 https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/01/tech/cisco-lawsuit-caste-disc...

It's not just that Indian applicants get preferred, it's that Indian applicants only from specific regions, caste, and ethnic groups get preferred.
Here is a question, I mean it honestly, I'm relatively old school and have built many apps using syslog. When it comes to doing log mining, I've got a fairly old school utility belt, I poke around with less, I cat through grep (really ripgrep), I cat through grep and pipe to awk and extract things. Sometimes I fire up cut. I get a ton of milage from sort and uniq. Obviously, I fire up zcat in place of cat when needed. I also generously apply find when needed. It feels like I find what I need pretty quickly. Admittedly, I generally don't have terabytes of logs with these tools but it handles 10s of GB shockingly well.

With Splunk, ELK, Greylog, it feels insanely pokey. I know they have the parsers and such. At times I've kind of boned up on their search syntax but I've never gone "all in" with any of them, maybe because they all don't seem like a really solid long term solution. They seems to have a different kind of model than what I want, the time range is kind of nice but often times I won't have a time range until later. My model involves winnowing down the the data I want and then extracting pieces and viewing the data different ways. Am I just using all these tools the wrong way? Is my mental model off? Maybe it's a log consistency thing, it's always sort of a great day when you get "Error: abc failed because xyz and def." and that's the answer to everything. Many times I'll be spending time looking at logs and I'll notice an increase in a certain behavior happened before the outage happened and that's the give away.. Then a new grafana dashboard is created with a new metric to try and identify that before it happens again.

Loki kind of looks like it supports my method but again, I'm back to that "I haven't gone all in" with it problem. As I'm rambling, I've seen these sexy dashboards with like red/yellow/green lights and some latency graphs and cool looking stuff and then a little table of the last 20 "log messages" and maybe I'm used to looking at logs that you don't show in your dashboard or something like that.

They all feel like a square hole to my round peg. Maybe it's just me.
Neon AI and OVOS are taking over development of Mycroft Core and the Mark II: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mycroftai/comments/1212h87/neon_ai_...
Arguably the best pitch decks of all time. If you can sell turds to financial elites you're at the top of your game.
You were certainly fed a reductionist view of the Civil War. You're lucky if you avoided a frankly false view of the Civil War, that it was a noble lost cause to be celebrated.

The industrial North was very much in fear of anybody taking their jobs. That included immigrant groups as well as blacks, though immigrants were usually able to assimilate within a generation or two, while blacks were permanently discriminated against.

There was plenty of discrimination against black people in the north after the war, too. But de Tocqueville was not around for the way southern bias turned into Jim Crow laws and lynching.

I think he was misled by the way southerners felt protected from blacks by slavery. They felt no threat, economically or personally. When the slaves were freed, that same emotion became virulent.
That doesn't sound like the lazy way to me!
Wow this does so well on text! The original model struggled a lot, it's impressive to see how far they've come.
Shallow meaning.

- Ownership is also a negative, you pay for upkeep, maintenance, admin and inventory of a house. You keep the wealth AND the costs.

- When you go to someone's house for dinner, you're not being bribed, you're relating to the owner of the house. The way you relate to the owner and their friends, influences your future friendship.

- The home owner is not temporarily letting friends access his house. His friends can't rifle through his drawers and live at his house. He is inviting them in for dinner. At most, you are sharing a portion of his house and his hospitality for an evening.

- If you buy stuff for me, I'll say thank you, but honestly I don't always want what you intend to buy for me. If you're not going to relate to my meaning and values, even when you're being "generous", then what's the point of being a friend?

Money and physical goods among non-poor adults, are not a "default win" in friendships. The real generousity in buying a gift is relating to what the other person cares about and giving a small token of that.

Wealthy people have many friends. It's always true, unless the wealthy person rejects it. People elect themselves to be friends with the wealthy.

Money, gifts and generosity can't buy friendship from people who don't relate the way you do.

I get this site is mostly about programming, startups and money, but jeepers. Did we lose the middle way and common sense so quickly?
That seems very contradictory. Their specific diet increases their environmental impact: the opposite of what they want.
Your experience is valid. I'm absolutely not saying memory exploitation doesn't happen, only that it's so comparatively infrequent in the 2020s that magically eliminating it wouldn't change the economics of attacks.

As a point of comparison, 10-15 years ago exploits in general were much more prevalent. Flash was still around, people read PDFs in Acrobat instead of PDF.js, Internet Explorer hadn't been displaced by Chrome, macros were just starting to make a comeback after signing restrictions from the early 2000s were lifted, crown jewels hadn't yet moved to the cloud via SaaS, and things just weren't commoditized like they are now with pentest frameworks, LOLBins, etc. In fact the most commoditized element in those days was exploit kits targeting IE memory vulnerabilities. The landscape has changed a lot since then.

I'm vendor-side research, which gives me pretty broad visibility here.
Yah this is sort of a funny video. If they're stock vehicles I don't know if this is impressive by any measure. I think the top end twin-turbo 300zx was 300 horsepower. But, the Miata is a very light car; it and the 300zx are prime (and super fun!) targets for gearheads to tune up.
Reduce - buy jeans that last a lifetime.
Reuse - buy your jeans from a thrift store.
Recycle - this?

So it’s the last choice, but most clothes today just end up in the trash, since durability is fairly awful. Even after one wash some clothes start to lose their shape and color. What will the durability of recycled clothes look like if the recycling inputs are so poor? Will people pay any less for these clothes?

I wonder if brands will be trying to recycle clothes that have never been worn but went out of fashion?
First Republic Bank headed for FDIC receivership, says report
> Stability AI releases DeepFloyd IF, a powerful text-to-image model

Hope not. This is a worse license.
There's a few trees along a road near here that has fruits similar to this. Every fall / winter there are gigantic fruit that litter the ground to the point that it looks like it's covered in a lumpy chartreuse carpet and they continue to fall from the trees for the next month, taking about 3-4 months for the fruit to rot and lose the color.
Second paragraph in the link:

DeepFloyd IF is a state-of-the-art text-to-image model released on a non-commercial, research-permissible license that provides an opportunity for research labs to examine and experiment with advanced text-to-image generation approaches. In line with other Stability AI models, Stability AI intends to release a DeepFloyd IF model fully open source at a future date.
I personally don't think IP has a place in modern society. But I was mostly replying to the authors comment.

My concerns mostly lie with the fact it's owned largely by $MSFT rather than a more "open source" contributing to society entity. But again that's a much different topic.

> EasyDNS has a history of being decent but has had an openly right wing slant for the last few years, which could translate into how they handle complaints for domains owned by the "other side".

easyDNS spokesbot here.

We take the same attitude toward our client domains regardless of political affiliation or orientation.

In the past we were the DNS provider for both BLM and Antifa, who brought in their fair share of takedown requests and are arguably left-of-centre.

When we were added as a defendant in a defamation suit because we wouldn't take the website down ahead of a court ruling, that was a legal battle between two different factions of socialists - which we're not a fan of - we still fought the lawsuit at our own expense.

Everybody seeking to deplatform an easyDNS customer because of their political ideology gets the same answer: "GFY".
Last Doctor Standing (2013)
While looking for a local doctor in our new hometown, I came across the story of the last town "Doc", written by his son. My wife has chronic illness and while the large hospital chains provide great care for the big issues, she really wanted a personal-touch of a local doc who cared. Alas, that is becoming a rarity and this essay gives a behind-the-scenes look at how we got here as a country.
>The man was an administrator of closed groups and channels in the Telegram messenger, where he sold personal data of citizens of Ukraine and the European Union.

>Depending on the amount of data offered for sale, the man demanded from 500 to 2000 dollars.

Sounds like a small fish who downloads known leaks from the darknet and sells it on Telegram.
In what way exactly? In most countries the only requirement is to have a work contract. No higher education, no rules that employers must show that they can't find local talent for the position, no limitations on the number of immigrants per year.

I am an immigrant myself (not in the US), the only paper I needed was a work contract. After a year of working I got permanent residence with no further requirements attached, it's no longer tied to having a work contract.
C2 is such a good resource. It's a shame a simple, plain readable and most accessible website has been turned into a bloat.

If those are APIs consumed by public sites, then they are APIs the public is authorized to use by way of those sites, and Van Buren v. United States says that if you are authorized to access a system, accessing it a different “manner or circumstances” is not “unauthorized” as that term is used in the CFAA.

> Using a "non-mainstream browser" is not in fact an indicator of malicious or even "annoying" behavior. It's almost certainly not even statistically associated. In fact, if you're going to build a bot that impersonates a browser, the natural choice right now is to impersonate Chrome

This is a good point.

Bots are going to try to make their traffic look as legit as possible, which means spoofing the most common browsers with the most common setups.

So if a User-Agent is reporting that it's running Firefox, it's actually more likely that it's legit traffic, as bots wouldn't try to pretend to be an uncommon setup.
Lately, I’ve become a fan of analog chairs. No Wi-Fi, no camera, no GPU. Besides the retro appeal, I actually find myself to be more creative!

Anyone can call anything anything. Sewers are toxic and 4chan is toxic. Easy deduction.

However 4chan is more than just a sewer. It's a swamp fed by an sewer outlet which is also 4chan.

Depending how far you want to climb up the pipe, the more toxic it gets. The underbelly and secret boards of 4chan are really where the sewage gushes from.

All in all 4chan is a forum with controversial and non-controversial discussion.
> Providing a green card upon completion of your master's degree.

Seems like an interesting idea. Why do you think it's not already being done? I haven't really explored the idea very carefully, but this would amount to giving universities the power to grant citizenship to foreigners, which seems like it has a lot of potential for abuse.
I think you will find that many of these were arguably "financial elite insiders" the whole time. Worse, if you read too long, it is very easy to get sucked into the narrative that they were the stooges for the actual insiders that still made out with the bank.
> Fraud and corporate collapses were always part of business landscape, but they became more frequent and severe in the late 20th and early 21st centuries

Is this actually true? No citation is given and my gut sense was that corporate collapses used to be far more frequent. Think railroad manias, tulip bubbles, wildcat banks. If anything economic conventional wisdom has lately become that there aren't enough corporate collapses due to the flood of endless cheap money propping up zombie firms that endlessly lose money.

The Theranos deck is interesting though. Even the first slide appears to be a word salad that makes no sense.
"Our immediate goal is to become the standard for improving the efficacy and risk/benefit and safety profile of every therapy"? That's an (over-broad) mission statement, not an immediate goal. Then slide 3 "Theranos Today" they're talking about assumed future deals not the state of the company in the present, and somehow "Existing deals: $120M - $1.5Bn in revenue"!?

Then a bunch of graphs that look like they must have come from a real patient but nothing is stated about what's really happening.

Also, "Drivers for success: management and culture" lol.
I'm slightly embarrassed that in terms of building personally relevant things, my proudest (digital) work is always shell scripts I use daily. Most of my personal projects are non-technical meat-space things like building with wood and the like. Here's some that I've open-sourced:

- A git interface using fzf that works pretty nicely and is very composable. https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy

- An interactive evaluator, perfect for interactive `sed`, `grep`, `jq`, etc. If properly configured, it'll keep history per command or using whatever key you give it. I find myself using it often with `jq`. https://github.com/bigH/interactively

There are many other shell functions/scripts that are interesting from my `dotfiles`. Particularly interesting snippets for anyone who wants them:

- A recursize `which` that follows symlinks and stops at a real file. https://github.com/bigH/dotfiles/blob/3d48792b4e910d2fc82504...

- A `watch` alternative that runs in the current shell. https://github.com/bigH/dotfiles/blob/3d48792b4e910d2fc82504...
Why not? Getting a project up is a struggle anyway. And it’s a trade off between the upside and downside risk. At Google there is little downside risk and upside is reasonable. One or two experienced and passionate engineers, hammering away, amplified by a big company can compete with a startup.
Well, I'm autistic, but I'm a native speaker and I find both interpretations equally valid. In fact the latter interpretation was where my mind went first.

The key is that if this were a spoken sentence, tone and pace would disambiguate the meaning. Those are lost when writing. Ironically, that's a bit of ambiguity in the prompt which nobody has caught onto yet. The prompt implies that the sentence is spoken aloud, but it's actually being written which creates additional ambiguity. In a written context, someone might be more careful about their word choice (or might not) - which might include not writing that phrase at all because it isn't precise enough...
The reason intellectual property was invented was to encourage people to go and create new things and share them, the logic being that having a monopoly on your own work by default means you can make money from being creative and therefore people will choose to do it. The reverse is already happening, people are deciding (privately) not to publish things they have created because they rightly assume it will be stolen by an AI, monetised and used to destroy their own job. It is not merely complaining for its own sake. There is a good amount of theft and a bad amount of theft. As theft increases unchecked the amount of new output is poised to decline.
Those systems never seem to produce very many calories per acre. They're interesting as biology labs, and would probably be fine for subsistence agriculture for a small number of humans. However, we're trying to feed 8 billion people and we need the raw calorie to arable land ratio to work.
