I've read many of his books and short stories over the years, and would recommend "Underground", about the 1995 Aum Shinrikyo sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.

The English translation is, I believe, much shorter than the original Japanese, but I found its intimate descriptions of everyday Tokyo life contrasting with the terror of that morning powerful reading.

Maybe you don’t know but many children, teens and adults are meeting up physically and having virtual sexual interactions and also pornography is a major way these start, not to mention the amount of teen and child pornography online that is proclaimed “over 18” because the uploader lied about their age. I already wrote in another comment about my own experience as a survivor of online sexual abuse from adults and porn addiction as a minor. Data on finding out how many

It is a real problem, and we are being harmed. Obviously in many places sending explicit pictures as a minor is a crime, and finding adult study participants willing to talk about their sexual interactions with children is tricky, but you can find a lot online about negative consequences of general sexting among minors.

How many reported CVE's would RHEL have if it had zero users?

---

I also asked GPT to elaborate:

---

I understand your curiosity about the differences between Debian and RHEL and why one might be more popular than the other. Let me provide some insights on this topic.

While it's true that Debian has more CVE entries than RHEL, it doesn't necessarily mean that RHEL is significantly more secure. The number of CVEs is just one aspect to consider when evaluating security. Other factors include the speed at which vulnerabilities are addressed, patch availability, and the overall security practices employed by the organization behind the OS.

As for RHEL not being as popular among tech startups, there are several potential reasons. Startups usually have budget constraints, and the cost of RHEL licenses and support services can be a factor for them. Additionally, some startups prefer more flexible options like Debian or Ubuntu because of the large community, easy accessibility, and a wider range of compatible software packages.

Regarding your question about FAANG companies and their primary server OS choices, it's important to note that these companies often have diverse technology stacks tailored to their unique needs. It's likely that they use a mix of operating systems, including RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, and others, based on specific requirements or preferences. Google is known to use Debian rolling releases for some of its servers, as you mentioned.

There isn't a single default choice for all tech startups or indiehackers when it comes to server operating systems. The decision depends on their specific needs, budget, compatibility requirements, and other factors. RHEL does offer robust security and enterprise-grade stability, but its cost and potential learning curve might make it less attractive to some startups.

I also asked if it was survivorship bias:

---

Your question about survivorship bias is an interesting one. While it's possible that survivorship bias plays a role in shaping perceptions about which operating systems are "better" or "more secure," many factors influence a company's choice of operating system. Ultimately, it's important for businesses to consider their unique requirements and constraints when deciding the best fit for them.
Accumulation of random social media posts is not a substitute for organized collection of information.
There has been a kerfuffle in the Australian National Library over continuance of funding for digitisation of the records.

Somebody thought it was a one-time uplift and was done. Firstly, all data digital or mechanical or physical demands maintenance, Secondly, it's never done, as more materials always arise requiring archival assessment and inclusion.
If you really care about statistics, you will look into how biased their data is.

It's intentional and very misleading. As per your own link - it's comparing apple to oranges (airbag-deployed crash vs police-reported crash). It's not accounting for different drivers or road profiles.

Check some independent reviews of the data - it paints a very different picture from what Tesla would like us to believe.
There is a positive trend of independent journalism on Youtube. Some of the my favorite stories were presented and investigated by a single person, Coffeezilla.
Because giving effective treatment is always going to be better. That way the patient gets the placebo effect plus the treatment's effect.

Journalistic integrity gets continuously eroded with stories like this. Like your source is a high level director with a few hundred reports... nope, it is a meme post on an internal tool. Just feels lazy.

A well-researched article on the benefits being cut, maybe some analysis on how much it could be saving the company or what the impact of 12,000 jobs might be worth would make this much more readable.
I don't know much about journalism, but I do know a bit about information gathering.

A primary source that is social media based?

Well

let's just say I just wouldn't stake a large force on that information, and I wouldn't advise you do so either. If it actually counts, social media is not terribly reliable these days.
I saw steve Wozniak speak at a business event less than two months ago. I was falling asleep after hours of business boring. When asked about - in regard to AI - how these technology leaders should be held accountable, he quoth Dr. Ted Kaczynski and mumbled something about execution. After a brief pause he walked it back but it sure woke me up!
The obvious implication of putting that on a pricing page is that the average internet user accurately represents the average Kagi user.

I have no idea if that's true or not, but if it isn't, then there isn't really a way to "word it differently" - including the information at all is misleading.
Dang it; good points!
The goal is to reduce the world's primary energy from 80% fossil and renewable biofuel down to zero as fast as possible. Sounds like you're making the error where you think it has to be either wind/solar/hydro or nuclear. This is not a zero sum game.
I have been using Kagi with good results too, but some things it completely shits the bed with. I wanted to find the AWS portal, so I searched for "AWS". First result, American Welding Society. Fine. Second is a medium article about AWS. The third is a reddit post about AWS. On down and down, the AWS website doesn't show up on the first page. So I searched "AWS Portal". Again, the AWS website does not show up. This is still happening for me. Just checked, I haven't blocked their domain. It's honestly such an outlier, I wonder if they intentionally blocked results from the AWS domain from showing up.
This law is religiously motivated because Utah politics usually represent the will of the Brighamites, the Mormon adherents to the corporation that owns the entity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Or what has the More Good Foundation and other similar orgs been pushing for for the last 15 years?

> Where's the line between religious motivation and morality?

Religions are subcommunity groups, morality is interally driven.
At least in most of the US a minor must have a parent sign for their account and it is a linked account of the parent meaning they can review transactions and set spend limits but there is probably a way around this. Part of this is banking regulation as explained to me by a bank and part of this is that a minor can not legally enter into a binding contract though many companies would have kids think otherwise.
I believe Michael Moorcock has an enduring discussion with women writers on this problem space, perhaps from a different perspective but I believe it forms part of their mutual discourse around the nature of feminism and pornography in new-age writing.

The only possible upside to the proliferation of tipping culture is that maybe this will finally result in legislation that bans it altogether? And then with it banished from the sit-down restaurant industry, it can be relegated to the very few niches where it belongs (either as a true gratuity paid under extraordinary circumstances or a low-stakes bribe paid to a person occupying some sort of gatekeeper role in the hospitality industry).

The second. The term passkeys is meant to describe "like what I get with passwords, but easier/more secure'.

It's lowercase "p" - it isn't a Google or Apple brand.

Developers can use terms like "multi-device discoverable user-verifying FIDO/WebAuthn credentials" which have very precise technical meanings with demonstrated interoperability.
> Your first point seems to be something that our local leaders still are not taking seriously enough. If I have to listen to or read warnings all around me to "keep my eyes up and my phone down", I am not going to get a strong vibe of "I am safe and this is a nice time I am having".

This is a difference between perception and objective reality. Public officials began this campaign of "educating" people about the "dangers" of public transit years ago, coincidentally right when crime was at its all-time historical low. The perception that the subway is unsafe was not actually grounded in any objective facts, but rather a response to the feedback loop generated between the media and public officials.

(Kagi founder here)

You are correct in saying that almost all current Kagi users are in the other 1% category (tech savvy professionals who search a lot).

But this plan is not meant for then. This plan is literally made for the 99% of all users who search the web 2-3 times a day, as the statistics show. We would like Kagi to have much broader adoption outside the HN crowd, and a low price plan is essential.

How would you change the wording to make this clearer in a way that does not strike you as dishonest?

> What prompted the pay rise? I thought he wasn’t doing a good job over the last few years

If the board / shareholders thought that, they would vote/advocate for his ouster.

In 2015, when he became CEO, Google's annual revenue was just over $74B. In 2022, it was just shy of $280B. https://www.statista.com/statistics/266206/googles-annual-gl...

You can look at other metrics too to understand why shareholders, the board, and Larry & Sergey think he's the best person to lead Google.
> It just seemed like with everything else sort of 'overkill' - 128bit address space - it would've been sort of an arbitrary amount.

It is kind of bizarre how they overkilled / went bleeding-edge in some areas but held back in others. It makes for a strange, retrofuturistic system
Restarting is not the accurate word. The word we should be using is continuing. It's been continuing since 2008. There has been no financial reorganisation since then, it's been a matter of 'kicking the can down the road'. Unfortunately, it seems we have 'run out of road'.

To protect the economy, there is inflationary QE. Unfortunately, to fix that inflation we have to have much higher interest rates. Just the increase of 2% in the interest rate means that the interest rate increase alone on that 32 trillion dollars of debt is 640 billion dollars, almost as much as the Defense Budget.

So it comes down to, very soon, do we 'choose between guns or butter'? Because the US can not afford both.

You are advocating for government control of housing, which has been a failure in this country and in other places. Nobody wants government housing and there is no evidence that they can do a good job. All you have is "evil landlords!". Your glorious idea of rent control is a failure - do know of the cheap city that is called San Francisco? They have the most strict rent control in the country. Do your research.

Again, look up the term "luxury belief". It's not what you think it is.

Again, you clearly have never built anything or risked anything. Building and operating housing isn't some easy job that requires no risk, investment, or effort. To suggest such exposes how little you understand about businesses. Yet, you keep asserting that you know everything about what a business is. Odd. The massive profits being generated in the housing market are mostly owners of gentrified houses, not those evil developers. This takes 5 minutes of research to confirm. The rest are due to government policies that limit housing production. Again, do your research.

And... holding up Stalin as an example. I... just can't. You must be a parody account, right? Right? Please be so, because otherwise.... jesus christ.

I know people who were laid off from there. Very generous severance. Layoff had a target date many months away, and from that date onwards 3 months. $86/share -> $105/share? 22% gain in that wealth with that severance is a good outcome considering the company needed to downsize.

I agree, many of my interventions are because:

1. It hangs at an intersection too long that the person behind honks at me

2. It refuses to lane change out of fear leading me to miss highway exits or turns (sometimes but rarer, it tries a turn from the wrong lane)

3. It just gets bumpy some rides with a lot of phantom breaking that can be dangerous at times (I’ve seen the phantom breaking reduce in V11 though)

I don’t think the standard fear of if I didn’t intervene I would hit so and so obstacle is something I ever experienced in my FSD, though I did start using FSD in the much later versions of FSD 10+ where a lot of kinks were ironed out
Key caps have lower tolerances than the rest of the board, and the slot for the stems is a very small (the whole cross is 4.1mm wide with the "arms" of it being 1.17mm [1]) negative space, which 3d printing isn't great at. It's certainly possible and I know Zach Freedman [2] did this using his publicly available/free mx keycap model [3], but honestly unless you're more committed to having a board totally made by you than having one that sounds/looks good (which is totally reasonable, making one just to be able to build one from scratch yourself is something I want to do too), I'd say buy some.

Windows Hello can supply single-device passkeys at the platform level. Browsers and native apps will leverage Hello in the background (a la WebAuthn.DLL).

A passkey is a user facing term. Platforms have been working on technology to support that idea for years now.

There may be a difference in terms of how Windows Hello dictates the user experience vs what browsers show on other platforms - I haven't tried it recently.
> It's a pretty well accepted fact now that bigger LLM = moar better without exceptions.

That's not true, the amount of training is a MAJOR factor.

See the Chinchilla paper - https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.15556

tl;dr - a "fully" trained small model can outperform a "undertrained" larger model. If you have a fixed amount of compute (budget), then you need to optimize for the largest model that you can fully train, and not simply up the parameter count.

EDIT: Also you can't necessarily compare the parameter count across model architectures*

This thing seems to outperform the finetuned 30B llama models I've seen.
I agree, but I specifically meant in the context of local news, people are accessible in a way most weren't pre-broadband. Even the largest news organizations and presentations have started using zoom call recordings in segments. I agree with you that social media is terrible at meaningful filtering and aggregation. Verifying a source will always be a necessary part of journalism, regardless of medium.
Great! I also agree. One phrase always stuck with me, when talking about the leader of the cult, Murakami said, paraphrasing, "imagine the bloodbath of internal conflicts that must need to happen to give rise to someone like that". For some reason, I've always remembered it. "Bloodbath of internal conflicts" was a line that always stuck with me. :P ;) xx ;p

Also, I recommend getting hands on the very early (and short) English translations of, "Hear the Wind Sing", and "Pinball 1973" -- just really strange, bizarre and cool.

I lived near a cluster of apartments (not very big, probably a half a dozen of 5-15 units buildings in my block) and even though each had dedicated parking and I parked in my driveway myself, the visitors of the apartment-dwellers used the street to park and would not mind parking across my driveway regularly (either because all the spots were already taken or to save a couple feet of walk, I have no idea).

Lambda is good for bursty, typically low activity applications, where it just wouldn't make sense to have EC2 instances running 24x7. There about some line-of-business app that gets a couple of requests every minute or so. Maybe once a quarter there will be a spike in usage. Lambda scales up and just handles it. If requests execute in 50ms (unlikely!) or 500ms, it just doesn't matter.
Eh. Historians live for this random shit. A huge amount of interesting stuff in the archive is just stuff. It wasn't created to be historical or documentarian.

Um, no. `gcc` is a driver that runs cc1 (a C compiler from the GNU compiler collection), cc1plus (a C++ compiler from the GNU compiler collection), (g)as (an assembler from GNU binutils) and ld (a static linker from GNU binutils) and sometimes other front-ends for other languages, and sometimes other back-ends for other reasons, and sometimes some special middle-ends.

All `gcc` does is parse come command-line options and then invoke other programs to do the actual job of preprocessing, compiling, assembling, and linking.

That is literally the top metric CEOs are judged on. And Google has outperformed S&P 500 (aka the competition) by ~300% in his tenure.
I really don't understand the outrageous compensation. Seems to me like a lot of CEOs just play the game of "don't fuck things up" and collect a massive paycheck because the board and shareholders are too scared of hiring someone shit.

They'll accept a mediocre leader, and pay ludicrous amounts of money for some imagined assurance of reduced downside.
