We moved our servers from Centos (then 6) to Debian. Holy shit so many stuff that we had to fix or change "just worked". And upgrades works! Maybe less important in container era but still.
There are a lot of directions people try to go, making different tradeoffs in the complexity of the clustering, the loss from the quantization, the impact on performance (esp. trying to get some subset of the tables to fit in cache). Readers might be interested in [1], which gives a survey of some of the directions.

In general though PQ is a pretty good baseline. I'm glad all these vector DB companies seem to have decided that the best form of marketing is high-quality summaries/tutorials about fundamental concepts, it's a good contribution to the community.

Seems like all that bluster from mayors and certain business leaders to get people back into the office isn't working.
Eh, read up on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome... it's illogical to expect "ergonomics" to resolve a muscular impingement of the ulnar nerve.

"RSI" isn't a thing. It refers to an umbrella of conditions and therefore doesn't have a single "cure".
Thankfully we have contact law. Imagine if nobody did business with anyone else unless they had a zero trust system set up.
People who think this way haven’t written boot code.. I suppose you’re gonna link the c runtime too and it’s assumption of being a “process” under some “operating system”.. oh wait.

Compared to the rest of the task, writing a sort is pretty darn trivial.
The most interesting thing I discovered about Dandelion roots is that earth worms appear to nurse off them. Whenever I dig up a big Dandelion root, I also find a large earth worm. Earth worms also like cows milk.
TikTokers immediately sue to block Montana’s “unconstitutional” ban
This is unsurprising. A fairly reliable determinant for how the Court will rule is found using a materialist analysis. That is, the Court will generally side with corporations and capital owners when given the choice. This isn't new to this particular Supreme Court. There's a long history here.

The interesting part isn't how the Court decided but how it decided. It didn't address Section 230 at all and only made a very narrow ruling that isn't really applicable beyon dthis case.

The Court is, and always has been, political. Skepticism remains about the safe harbor provisions of Section 230 in the conservative wing of the court so it's no surprise that this ruling is narrow so as to not set precedent.
> Uber and doordash entered into markets without charging fees and look to doing fine

These companies are not profitable. They are still in the loss-making market share acquisition phase. They might be profitable at some point, but that would likely be by increasing pricing to something far less desirable to consumers, negatively impacting growth. AirBnb recently turned a profit but is now more expensive than hotels with often worse service, and they're being regulated out of some markets, so we'll see how it works out for them. Would DoorDash with a minimum $15 delivery fee survive? Uber if it's more expensive than a cab?

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy living large off of VC fund's money. But I'm not brand loyal to any of this stuff.
I did read it, I don't know what you wanted this to express but I understood it as the admission that walking to work became untenable. 2018 is not 2020, WFH then had a great income/career progression penalty.

And a whole lot of people managed to raise even more children before cars were invented or even horses were domesticated. Eg my gran-gran raised 3 children without running water and electricity (and obviously no horse or car), that does not mean she enjoyed it.

I was surprised that deciduous trees edged-out conifers. My (completely uninformed) mental image of Alaska is "Mostly pine, with other conifers sprinkled in." Can you confirm that deciduous trees are prevalent in Alaska?

It's always been weird that the US border is legally 100miles thick around the USA, for customs and immigration, but the Internet cables don't have borders.
3DFX was the first stock I ever bought. Literally the first stock. I was a young game engine programmer and I thought I was picking something that other people didn't know about.

I was so wrong. It taught me humility in investing and a respect for all the other things (outside engineering and product) that are necessary for the success of a business (like distribution and manufacturing).
At this point I assume anything ubuntu adds will either be janky or replaced within few years by something else
AKA "Best practices"
It's to create a stable target for the OS. You can target "Debian [version]" and know there's some stability & consistency to the versions of various packages.

There's:

1) System packages. Any OS with discrete releases should aim for stability, here, to create a useful deployment/support target.

2) User packages that the user plans to use directly. Your web browser, a spreadsheet program, maybe something like ripgrep. You don't need multiple versions, and the version you want is almost always "whatever's latest". This could also, potentially, include your main daemons on a server—SQL servers, web servers, that kind of thing.

3) Development packages. It's common to need multiple versions and to need to switch between them frequently (due to having multiple projects with the same deps at different versions, or needing to "git-bisect" or debug a branch with older deps, that kind of thing). Some overlap with 2 (especially on servers, if only because it's convenient to manage your servers' packages with the same tool you use to manage development dependencies) but they remain distinct categories.

MacOS with Homebrew gives you 1 (macOS itself) and 2 (Homebrew). Some people try to use homebrew for 3, which tends to make them unhappy and leads to them making angry posts about Homebrew because doing that is a bad idea... but it's also a bad idea on most linux distros, which will be mixing together 1-3 if you try to use the system package manager for everything. You should be using something else for #3, at least. You shouldn't be using the system Go or Python packages unless you're targeting that specific distro at that specific major version as a deployment target.

Linux distros tend to have difficulty separating 1 & 2, in large part, I think, because of how the graphics and multimedia stacks work. This is really annoying if you're used to having nice, clean separation between those, as on macOS + Homebrew.
Red herring. Public vs private ownership of the means of space travel is the topic at hand here.
Passkeys strike me as a solution to a problem that security professionals have—not users.

When I log into a site via Passkeys with Safari on macOS, it shows me a QR code that I have to scan with my phone.

This alone is a huge assumption. My dad can’t stand his phone and will not want to use the thing to login to websites.

Then there’s other problems: what happens if the phone is lost, the battery is dead, or the person doesn’t want to get up and get it? Are they denied access?

That doesn’t even get to what happens if the Passkeys are somehow lost, then I bet where back to something that looks like a username and password.

I know there’s other Passkey UX’s, but of all the implementations I’ve seen to date, they all seem to be built by people in tech for other people in tech. Consideration for non-technical users seems to be lacking.
Mostly yes yes yes but looks direly in need of a split keyboard setup!
If you have a vision, and you make something noteworthy, people will show up with different visions, and try to take your project in a different direction. This happens when you found a company. The most dangerous employee to the life of the company is employee #2. This is why YCombinator doesn't like solo founders, and wants a more stable two-person team with a shared vision for the company. The third employee you hire is much less dangerous because they can be overruled by the majority (without even threatening to fire them).

Also note that wasn't an open-source project, so there's always the threat that someone will steal your code and your hard work. Don't allow someone to see your code unless you're ready to open-source it, or you have enough money to pay for a lawyer if the person steals your code. (I know the concept of software ownership is anathema to most of the HN crowd, but hopefully this makes it through the downvoters to reach its intended lurker audience).
Something like 600 million people live below the poverty line, which with current inflation is at $2.15 per day; so for them a 38 cent per day rate means diverting almost 20% of their income just on water. For comparison, that's a much larger share than what USA residents spend on food (~13% of their income).

+1. I am not sure why you were downvoted though. Some folks are visual and some prefer reading. For me it "depends". I am somewhere in between and even based on the kind of project. For code etc I absolutely hate videos. Ikea stuff - that imagery definitely helps. For learning sport or instrument playing technique videos are a god send (imagine reading a description of how to pucker your lips when playing the French horn). Having to sit through someones monolog and "production" can be annoying (sadly I get that they are driven to doing it for the sake of engagement).

In many cases the Ubuntu package might work too, as long as you use Ubuntu that's older version than Debian
Is it the _goal_ of FIDO to get rid of passwords? If it is, I am against this industry group.

Passwords should always be kept as a valid authentication method.

The OP brings up a point about not having access to the private key... I agree with that. If I don't have access to the private key (like I currently do with ssh) then it's dead in the water to me.
Here's a similar project that was done awhile ago

Even better, we dump pesticides all over our yards to kill mosquitos, grubs, and beetles. There's signs all over town here advertising spraying for mosquitos with who knows what. There's trucks driving around advertising spraying for everything with more than four legs and even a number of less desirable things with four legs. And then we wonder why our pollinators are all dying off. Agricultural pesticides are bad enough. Covering every last inch of green near our houses with pesticides and herbicides is another nail in the coffin.
Went to Home Depot to buy a new refrigerator. They had one plugged in as a demo. Guess what: there was warm air coming out of the bottom. Can you believe it? They were literally trying to pull off a huge hoax. Sell people something that's supposed to keep things cold, and there's warm air coming out?

Cooling means warming. Got it.
Windows XP had a tool called BootVis[1] that would try to optimize the startup sequence. Supposedly newer versions of windows do this sort of thing automatically.

I suspect much of the delay comes from the nature of plug-and-play. The OS has to poll every bus and every port to find every device, then query those devices to determine what they are, then load a driver and actually configure them. It simply can't rely on the hardware being exactly the same from one boot to the next.

Yeah, it's weird, right? But people keep putting use-after-free bugs everywhere. Like, do the OpenBSD guys not know that this is a bug (and worse, a security bug)? They keep putting them everywhere. A few years ago they stuck one in OpenSMTPD.

Theo de Raadt would benefit from reading some Hacker News.
The question isn't who does the work, it's who owns (enjoys financial benefits of?) the result.
I mean, I think the word 'corruption' is being over-used here. But discussions about say tax rates or agricultural subsidies follow the normal legislative process. Do you feel like these issues are being handled optimally now? It just gives a huge attack surface for lobbyists and rent-seekers to complain and whine and get their way.

If the trade deal went through the 'normal' legislative process, every rep with a bit of leverage would hold it hostage for the pet industry or major employer in their district. "I won't sign off on this bill until we have a special carveout for Local Industry!" etc. etc.

If OpenAI promises to use your data one way — and, in fact, upsells you on that promise — and then gets caught using it another way, that’s a huge lawsuit, not to mention immediate violation of EU privacy laws. Given the size of OpenAI, the consequences they’d face would be detrimental to their operation, and the reward for the whistleblower would be well worth it to reveal what’s going on.
Another round of black PR against Musk?
It seems pretty obvious that the massive injection of sugar in the 60s and 70s into diets paved the way for pretty much everything else that followed(snacks, fast food, convenient food, etc). I guess we can all ignore that diabetes is driven by insulin resistance and the body's inability to process glucose, which is conveniently also the predominant thing in our food today, because we would rather look the other way and continue living in a fairy tale...that is until we are disease ridden in our 40s, at which point we can live out the rest of our lives on meds and in the hospital.
Yeah so many cards stacked against potential start-ups who could potentially bring some quality to the industry :/

I believe that iCloud is hosted in a number of cloud vendors, and on Apple's own servers as well. It is both a large (read: rambling as well as big) endeavor, and one they keep flexible so they have a good negotiating position to keep down vendor costs.

How does that affect you ? You're supposed to use venvs for Python (and Ruby) anyway, and for Go whatever you compile will download its own deps anyway.

The libraries in distro are for distro packages. Using them is fine but by no means required.

You'd be surprised how well ChatGPT not only gives you code samples, but also gives very good explanations of how and why that code solves the problem. Its not spitting out hallucinations because the corpus of knowledge of Golang is pretty cut and dry (how many websites do you know that have crazy incorrect Golang code).

Try asking ChatGPT about more complex stuff. Design patterns, computer theory. I think you'll be impressed at the results.

This is the strength of ChatGPT, for some (and possibly many) topics, it does a really good job. If it didn't, it would not be getting all the attention it currently commands.

I would want to know in which fingers you were experiencing the tingling/numbness/pain. Unless it was only in your pinky and ring fingers, it wasn't Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (or rather, not JUST Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - it is possible, though uncommon, to have say Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at the same time causing tingling and numbness in all five digits, however in such a case I would suspect nerve impingement in the shoulder or neck, before the ulnar and median nerves split from the brachial plexus).
I 100% disagree. If there's need for centralized state for certain pieces of data, make it so. But premature usage of global state under the guise of "I might need it in the future" is a plague that makes apps much more complex than they have to be.

There's zero need to make everything be the same. There's not even the need to keep state in one single place: you can control all the state and its transitions locally but then "copy" to state management if you need it somewhere else. This is a perfectly valid solution too.

Another problem of using global state for everything is that it reduces the possibility of using a lot of component-level or hook-level abstractions that would be otherwise very useful. You're now forced to do everything through Redux or something like that.

There's no need to rush for an "absolute" solution with all that overhead as if it was a golden bullet. It's not.
However FreeBSD qsort(), in both libc and libkern, is quicksort, falling back to insertion sort when there are fewer than 7 items.
I read that last one, on "Telautomatics". He mentions his attempt to interest auto manufacturers in a self-driving car. But he also describes some kind of odd flying machine that doesn't use wings or propellers etc, relying purely on "reactions". What could he have been talking about? Inertial propulsion? Some kind of reaction against electromagnetic fields? There is a great illustration of this thing. Weird. (Incidentally, you could draw a straight line from all those magazine ads to today's YouTube versions)
The pillar box war

A “pillar box” is a British mailbox. It usually has the monogram (“cypher”) of the reigning monarch at the time it was built. At right are two examples. The one to the right has the monogram of Queen Elizabeth II, also depicted below.

https://pic.blog.plover.com/history/pillar-box-war/egbox.jpg

https://pic.blog.plover.com/history/pillar-box-war/E2R.png

(“EⅡR” is short for “Elizabeth II Regina”). The pillar box to the left has the monogram of her father, George VI.

When Elizabeth was crowned in 1953, there was a dispute in Scotland over what she should be called. “Elizabeth II of Scotland” was a bit of an oddity because Scotland had never before had a queen named Elizabeth: England's Elizabeth I had never been queen of Scotland, which at the time was a separate kingdom. Compare the so-called James VI and I who was King James VI of Scotland but King James I of England. (He was the son of Elizabeth's cousin Mary. James I–V had been the kings of Scotland from 1406–1542.)

Post boxes in Scotland with Elizabeth's “EⅡR” monogram were repeatedly vandalized and in some cases exploded. A lawsuit was filed in Scotland, asserting that the proclamation of Elizabeth II was a violation of the 1707 Act of union between England and Scotland. The court disagreed: “The [Act of Union] did not contain any provision as to the style and titles to be adopted by the monarch of the new [United] kingdom.” The plaintiff was required to pay the respondent's legal expenses.

The two nations found an acceptable compromise: after 1953 pillar boxes erected in Scotland omitted Elizabeth's monogram entirely, and included only a heraldic representation of the crown of Scotland.

The issue doesn't come up with Charles III, who is the third monarch of that name in both England and Scotland.
They can explain at you, but at the end of the day, it's all politics.

I find it a much more sensible position to criticize both together, along with the rest of proprietary digital socialization platforms.
Pause AI? O reilly?
Is there any company actually providing anything resembling emergency access for Passkeys? A critical feature of password vaults for me is the ability of my heirs to get access to my passwords when I am incapacitated or dead. I can't print out my passkeys and store them in a safe, nor does there appear to be any system for allowing someone access to my passkeys.

Features like this seem like table-stakes to me:

Even after you add the Firefox repository, installing Firefox from APT is not as simple as "sudo apt install firefox". That command would still install the Snap version of Firefox. You have to figure out how to force APT to pick the "firefox" package from the new repository rather than from the default Ubuntu repositories.
Uber's moat is the inertia of its massive customer and not-employee base making it difficult to enforce the regulations it has historically flaunted. In that way, it's similar to why Mastodon can't kill Facebook.
It's not trivial hiding information by slightly biasing the distribution of a generative model. The information hidden is added in a semantic meaningful way. This was not true with previous methods that ignored the semantics of the content in which they tried to hide information.

Access to your icloud account will ask again your password to change things like subscription, credit cards and so on.

So it's not root access per se. But very high.
Most likely a key management/distribution scheme is used and that is what's been cracked. They obtain the key and then are able to decrypt the traffic as normal, no actual encryption is being cracked.

There is a good NYT article on it - old buildings are easier to convert but modern office buildings are huge and you have to literally punch a hole in it.

But it could certainly be designed to be easier to convert, as the older one was easier. The problem you may run into is that the people who want office buildings won't want the easily convertible building; so you might have to legislate that it be convertible.

I made using generative AI a requirement in my classes. It led to some inventive work, though most students are still figuring it out. I didn't make it central to the class, but will in the future.
That being said, I don't assign an essay-type assignments but even if I did, I wouldn't use an AI checker like those mentioned in the article.
At the start of the semester in January, I was shocked at how few students had actively used any AI tools (maybe 10%). At the end of the semester in May, I was shocked at how few of my colleagues had (25%).
