Brave Search AI Summarizer is surprisingly useful: https://brave.com/ai-summarizer/

I see myself using Brave search more and more. And it is completely free in opposition to Neeva. I claim nobody is going to pay for search. But people might switch from Google for better features and more privacy.

You are an exception, then :)
But I still stand by the claim that fragmenting your stateful workload (i.e. Redis) into bunch of processes instead of having a single endpoint per instance is an acceptable approach in 2023. When your processes are excessively tiny, their load variability overshadows their average load. This imbalance results in unpredictable pauses, latencies, and Out of Memory (OOM) issues. This primarily occurs due to the absence of resource pooling under a single process. While it's challenging to exhibit this issue via synthetic benchmarks, it's certainly present.
I’m not sure I see the point of you telling me that you have sex with your wife. We are talking about aligning value and meaning.

Edit: since I’m rate limited now and I don’t really intend to come back to this discussion later, I’ll leave my reply to you here and leave it at that:

Okay, but you could have done that without bringing your personal sex life into the discussion.

Either way, that you have sex with your wife doesn’t say anything about the alignment or misalignment of value and meaning in capitalist societies. It’s perfectly possible for you to have meaningful sex with your wife, and for that to not be encouraged by capitalism as a valuable activity. In fact, in America there’s an issue with birthrates because younger generations cannot afford families, healthcare and education, but we make sure they can get cheap loans for cars and TVs are affordable. That’s the misalignment I’m talking about.

Have a good one and please leave your personal sex life out of future comments. I’m sure you can find another relatable way to frame your point.
They have/do! And and at some point they have to remove them and they’re probably still going to encounter situations they don’t handle perfectly.

Seems to me these cars just need a way for someone outside of the car to halt the car and call for a remote driver and open up communications.
Aprico is a neat idea, but as soon as you face a website that has stupid requirements like a character limit, specific banned characters (like symbols), or other it has no way of adjusting for that and you have to start tracking exceptions. It also has a 1-1 limit of website, unless you come up with service naming heuristic as well. Regardless of these limitations (which I realize are edge cases and very much not the point of the service), it's a nice, simple idea :)
Personal story: in about 1988 (I think) I made a business trip to Lowell to visit Wang, on behalf of 3Com. I was the email guy, and Wang apparently was interested in working with 3+Mail. I don't think anything ever came of it, but memories fade...

I remember the cubicle walls were metal, not fabric. That's about the only memory that stuck with me. Other than: there were no hotels anywhere close to Boston because of DECWorld, and I had to stay in Seabrook, NH.

Oh, and I met an ex-nun who became a programmer. She said she was fascinated with "bits going down the wire." Me, too.
Yeah. Auto-typing of password-related field is a relatively new security feature that got its start in Apple iOS.

While password auto-type is also found in Android, its security model is not quite a firm Bell-LaPadula yet like those implemented in Apple iOS/MacOS.

Exposing API to monitoring keystrokes remains problematic for any OSes.
I agree that bias is unavoidable. But what we're talking about here is an organization who's entire purpose for existing is to spread conservative views. Furthermore, they blatantly misrepresented the very question asked in the poll. The poll is not about "euthanasia" or "murder", yet the piece implies otherwise.

Since it's emotionally charged and intentionally misleading, it's not really the best source to quote.

PGP is an unfortunate obsolete technology, which sadly failed to evolve with the times.

I think the main thing that crippled PGP is tooling. What we have available is GnuPG, and GnuPG is horrible for every use case but what it was made for: A command-line interactive application, made for a single person's personal usage.

GnuPG insists on a model where it manages everything: key parsing, a key database, and the entire signing/verification process. There's no proper libgnupg either, what gpgme does is calling gpg, and presenting a library interface.

The problem with this is that GnuPG is very unfriendly towards attempts to build something new from the pieces. It really wants to be a commandline application that deals with a single person's encryption/decryption activities. So if you want to say, run statistics on PGP keys, or write a keyserver, or use it to implement signatures for packages, either you do it the GnuPG way, or you very laboriously trick it into doing what you need, or you write your own crypto code.

Option 1 isn't great if you want anything weird like statistics gathering.

Option 2 is just awkward and messy. Both 1 and 2 quickly run into limits. GPG for instance doesn't like trying to work with a database of a million keys. It has heavy startup costs. It's made for humans, not for any kind of heavy lifting.

Option 3 sucks because OpenPGP is extremely complex, and writing crypto code is very ill advised for most people.

And I think that's kinda what crippled the ecosystem. Doing anything but what gnupg wants to do has extreme startup costs, so few people ever try, and most people do it badly.

Doing what the author did here involves really going out of your way -- in a better world we'd have simple to use tooling to do this work, and PyPI would just do validation and reject bad stuff, but doing so is extremely non-trivial in PGP.

*Edit:* Case in point, I wondered how the author did this analysis. They made a tool for it, in April 2023: https://blog.yossarian.net/2023/04/14/Introducing-pgpkeydump

This is a tool that GPG should have had decades ago, and yet it didn't exist until now, when pretty much everyone has given up on PGP signing.

Edit 2: A nice blog post on how painful it is to deal with gpg if you want to actually build on top of it: https://www.mailpile.is/blog/2014-10-07_Some_Thoughts_on_Gnu...
Would you be utilizing our embed capabilities? The embeddable workflow builder makes us stand out from Formspark and others.

I'm curious to know if I set something up similar to Formspark's monetization model, at what price would you say it's expensive but still something you'd consider purchasing, AND at what price would you say it's a bargain for your money? Thanks!
> LassPass, hacked in 2022; remote storage of raw passwords

I know that it's been one dumpster fire after the other in the past few years, but did they actually go as far? The most severe one I remember hearing of was a leak of (possibly insufficiently salted, depending on the age of the account) encrypted password vaults. Still, I'll never again consider or recommend them going forward.

> In pwsafe, unbroken TwoFish algorithm is still being used instead of currently safer Argon2i

This is actually a negative point for it, in my view. AES is just as unbroken, yet has received considerably more scrutiny over the years.

The only place were non-AES symmetric algorithms still make sense these days is platforms where hardware acceleration is not available (e.g. djb's Salsa/Chacha), and even there only for high-throughput applications, which a password safe decidedly isn't.

> The recommended client-wise of PasswordSafe is still Netwrix (formerly MATESO of Germany)

I've never heard of them. Is it open source or at least properly audited?
either would work. If you pay teachers enough, they would commute several hours if needed. If you pay everyone more, either the housing gets built or people leave because you cant pay everyone enough to keep jobs filled.
David Graeber addresses precisely this in several pieces that ultimately became the book _Bullshit Jobs_. Here is a snippet from a relevant interview[1].

"What happened? Well, I think part of it is a hypertrophy of this drive to validate work as a thing in itself. It used to be that Americans mostly subscribed to a rough-and-ready version of the labor theory of value. Everything we see around us that we consider beautiful, useful, or important was made that way by people who sank their physical and mental efforts into creating and maintaining it. Work is valuable insofar as it creates these things that people like and need. Since the beginning of the 20th century, there has been an enormous effort on the part of the people running this country to turn that around: to convince everyone that value really comes from the minds and visions of entrepreneurs, and that ordinary working people are just mindless robots who bring those visions to reality.

But at the same time, they’ve had to validate work on some level, so they’ve simultaneously been telling us: work is a value in itself. It creates discipline, maturity, or some such, and anyone who doesn’t work most of the time at something they don’t enjoy is a bad person, lazy, dangerous, parasitical. So work is valuable whether or not it produces anything of value."

Some of that cost isn't really waiveable. Commercial spaces aren't residential spaces. For instance, I've heard that commercial buildings generally run the pipes only up the middle of the building, since they can centralize bathrooms and kitchens. Residential space is not generally so amenable. Residential spaces need other heating setups. Residential spaces have different load characteristics based on where the furniture goes. There's a lot of real differences between commercial and residential buildings, and just like with computer code, as you scale up the building minor differences a single-family home owner would ignore become significant differences become vast differences.

In theory you could go all Mad Max and give them permissions to just start throwing up walls, creating spaces with communal bathrooms, and just dealing with it, but the amount of regulatory work to do that is pretty substantial. Even if you could get the agencies to agree to it in principle, a massively uphill battle since you're basically asking them "Hey, will you agree that you and your mission are worthless and irrelevant inside my building and pretty please promise to not worry about whether other people will start asking questions about what exactly it is you do (including the legislative bodies that provide your budget) and why it is they have to conform but I don't?", they'd immediately start putting their fingers back in the pie anyhow.
It's really large (and on two stories IIRC). Not sure if there are buildings with that kind of free surface ready to host all that.
Customizing Web Search with LLMs
I tried Transmission for a while, but it seemed to stall arbitrarily (maybe requiring restarting?) and I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I know it's a popular option, it just didn't work for me, in the time I wanted to spend on setting it up.
The is great news, thank you for your work on this.
We all know that the definition has expanded in recent years to include low-effort or bot-generated content being flogged on social media (eg: one of Reddit's report options is "spam") and in search results.

Either way, if you want to keep a positive image going, don't take internet comments personally. Just incorporate the feedback and make changes if you feel it's warranted.
> "eat mostly legumes, whole grains, leafy green vegetables and other vegetables". It probably even tells you to cut down on beef and pork.

Yes, as I wrote we tend to eat too much meat in the west. But cutting down on meat consumption and eating mostly vegetables doesn't mean avoiding eating meat at all.
I'm tempted to give in to the claim that a problem that is fundamentally a liability concern, and therefore needs legal fallback, is unlikely to have a technical solution.

Closest you can get is probably the Apple model?
fwiw, the company I work for has used keydb (multiple clusters) in production for years, under non-trivial load (e.g. millions of req per second). It did serve as a replacement to actual redis clusters, there were major improvements seen by the switch. I can't remember the actual gains as it was so long ago. I do remember it was an actual drop in replacement, as simple as replacing the redis binary and restarting the service. So if you can afford to, maybe try replacing a redis instance or two and see how it goes.
theoretically possible is far away from practical. That's my point. It would take quite a bit of work to do even subset of what most other solutions come out of the box, at most likely much lower performance (the reason to use cache in first place).

You can put a fucking text files on the disk as cache and `find -atime X -delete` to clear it, doesn't mean you should use it.
And you think government which use matrix now didn't check that?
Also its a spec, you can reimplement everything if you don't like it
Thanks. Considered myself informed given that I stay away from Edge.
There's definitely a "what are the benefits of" or "what are the reasons for" format that ChatGPT falls into pretty easily. It's usually not really wrong and would probably serve as a passable high school essay. (And I've probably seen worse marketing copy.)

But it's not very good and, at a minimum, lacks nuance and supporting evidence.
A) key-value is MUCH simpler to implement than an RDBMS, code wise. It’s arguably more boring and less theoretical than indices on PG or foreign key constraints

B) there’s a lot of tricky stuff with indices on PG and you generally need a DB admin from day 1

C) your comment is probably more appropriate for either layered databases or new fangled stuff like time series or graph db’s etc
Sometimes. Guard pages are not always used, depending on your OS or C compiler for example, and on how large your address space might be. Especially 32bit applications are quite limited in that regard. Embedded always lags behind a few decades. Commercial applications are often used long beyond their due-by-date, and vendors never seem to care about that stuff anyways.

If there is only one or a few guard pages, you can sometimes still get your exploit to work by "jumping over" the guard page with a sufficiently large stack allocation that isn't used. But that is admittedly rare.

Clinical validation of a blood-pressure sensor for continuous health monitoring
I dunno - people operate with their own internal models and make fairly regular and distinctive mistake patterns. Until you can fine tune a model with your personal undo histories on prior work (which since I can articulate a solution it can/will be done) it’ll be obvious. But there’s also a crypto point (not to be confused with obfuscation or currencies) I am making is that as LLMs are calculators for language, maybe the goal needs to be to up level the objective. It’s no longer about distinguishing between people with natural facility with written language any more than in the age of calculators is it so damn relevant to be a human computer. Instead novelty of thought and argument is perhaps the more crucial skill, and simply “write an essay about XYZ” is an in class exercise. Am at home exercise should be one that even with a LLM assisting requires primary thought and guidance sufficient to make a body of work that’s an order of magnitude better than if students had to labor against their dyslexia to be understood or bask in their ableism. Maybe the LLM levels the field for language facility and we instead focus on the thoughts of the human, exploring their facility of reasoning, and just accepting LLMs exist.

Frankly as a teacher I might find it more interesting to read the specific deepest thoughts of my students rather than wading through their struggles in basic articulation.
My thought is: what would it take to produce a hardware with the following features:

1. Should be able to make and receive phones

2. Should be able to send/receive SMS

3. Should be able connect to the data plan (4G)

4. Wifi Support

5. Should be able to function as a hotspot so that you can use a laptop for more complex work

6. Should have a basic colour touch screen - need not be very high resolution, but sufficient for a basic UI.

7. Hardware or software keyboard

8. Support for SD cards

9. Headphone jack

10. Micro USB port or USB type c port for charging and data

11. Optional: A camera module for photos/videos if possible

12. Optional: Bluetooth LE

13. Software:
13.1 - Ability to install applications using a root/admin login (similar to any desktop os). The application may be downloaded off the web or obtained from an SD card etc. May be installed into a specific directory which can be backed up or restored. Example: "/usr/apps"
13.2 - Directory for contacts to be stored. Example: "/usr/contacts" with open format for contacts which can be read by apps
13.3 - Directory for photos and videos to be stored. Example: "/usr/media/photos", "/usr/media/videos"
13.4 - Ability to save / load contacts from disk or network
13.5 - Ability to run network servers - example: Samba server or even a basic HTTP server for sharing and receiving files.
Imo, insects are the only creatures with societies rivaling the size and complexity of ours. Ants cultivate plants, maintain nurseries, execute emergency response protocols when disasters hit, conduct expeditions to find new food sources, cooperate to complete tasks etc.
As long as they are on an equal footing with everyone else, then either more housing is built or there is a generic housing crisis unrelated to being a teacher status, and the problem we should be talking about is something else.
Nowhere in this comment do you mention Apple Music, Apple TV+ or the App Store -- these are the areas Apple is trying to drive traffic to with their hardware. I don't expect them to even bother to give lip service to the kinds of use cases you're describing.
Going by the StrongTowns archives, what will happen when these properties go underwater is the rent will be held the same and the building will be vacant. Writ across the entire office space of San Francisco, the result will be a disappearance of foot traffic and empty districts.

Reason being the property financing is a function of market rent. Short term balloon mortgages are commonly used. If the rent for the space falls, when it comes time to refinance, you won’t be able to get a loan to cover your previous balloon payment, making you insolvent. Solution: never lower the rent, even if it means leaving the building vacant. Slowly bleeding is better than instantaneous bankruptcy.
I assume so; without any actual knowledge, and a meagre GCSE grade B in chemistry, my imagination says illegal labs aren't going to have high quality safety audits.
No this isn't the problem. There is huge demand for skilled teachers as in teachers that are extremely good at their job. Huge demand. There's also too little supply. It Could be a lucrative career if the system were setup better.

Think about it. When you were in school how many good teachers were there? Very very very few.

Now think further... Any school you went to.. did you have the opportunity to choose the school based on how good the teachers are?

And therein lies the mismatch. Top schools aren't associated with good teachers. It's basically a crap shoot... you select the school based off of some prestige factor that's independent of teacher skill. Then within the school you have limited selection based off of informal "ratemyprofessor.com" reviews.

There needs to be official records and ways to measure teacher skill and hiring must be made off of these records. This will increase teacher pay. Until then teachers will be paid shit.

Imagine a university that did specifically this. You'd have a school where every teacher was freaking phenomenal. I, personally, went to a uni with a pretty high prestige factor on the west coast of the US and of course, ironically, the higher the prestige the shittier the teachers. I would drop all of that to attend the aforementioned hypothetical school.

And of course to stay in line with the topic because this hypothetical school would be more in demand the school would pay more. Teachers all over the industry would being to raise their own skill level and hiring would only be based on actual really good teachers rather then anybody who can speak English.

For RPM for sure, although I'm not really fan of the noise.
A "mature and competitive field" is going to already have all low-hanging fruit taken and implemented. The moat is operational efficiency. The barrier to entry is the high costs of investment and general lack of access to know-how.

Not every industry is like software/tech. And the tech industry is already moving towards a "mature and competitive field" model. Otherwise why is Google and Meta cutting all their unnecessary spending and touting efficiency over growth? (besides AI tech, I suppose) Why all the layoffs?
