I'm getting very strong 1998 .COM vibes from AI.

Replace Internet with AI in the following quote from the New York Times, November 11, 1996[0]:

"For many people, AI could replace the functions of a broker, whose stock in trade is information, advice and execution of transactions, all of which may be cheap and easy to find on line. AI also is prompting some business executives to wonder whether they really need a high-priced Wall Street investment bank to find backers for their companies when they may now be able to reach so many potential investors directly over the Net. And ultimately, AI's ability to bring buyers and sellers together directly may change the very nature of American financial markets."

It's a cautionary tale. Obviously, the Internet did live up to the hype. Just after it wiped out millions of retail investors...

i gave up on firefox when i couldn't stop it from connecting to Google on a network device i was working on. Removing all the links from the advanced settings made it fail to start. That's when I realized how hypocritical they are. ( arm64 firefox-esr.) Even the latest chromium on arm64 connects to Google almost daily. i use epiphany-browser for that project now. no unwanted internet traffic from epiphany.
> Assumption #1: All transactions execute as stored procedures.

This kind of surprised me. Is that really a widespread assumption?

As an application developer I'm used to starting+committing transactions myself, outside the context of a stored procedure; I've done this with SQL Server and SQLite.

Isn't the requirement for a H1-B visa that your skills can not be "easily" replaced with a local person (which doesn't mean that there aren't local people with the skill but that there are not enough "free"/"jobless" people with such skills).

In that case while 90% is still a surprising high number I would expect at least 80% or so. Especially if you consider that desperation might make take them jobs with a salary or other conditions worse then what they would normally accept.
Firefox's responses are absolutely shit, for sure.

But Firefox has all kind of promo things (the latest I saw was adverts on their overview/links page - which you can also disable), so the presence of a config item for this doesn't mean they intended for it to show up where it did.

Right. They would have nothing different to offer other than what you have already gained from here.

Yeah I was confused why there would have been a dependency on the bird.
There is also LVM2 in the picture, but I'm not pointing any fingers. My gut feeling is this smells like some cache type thing waking up to sync/flush buffers and the pointer they follow lands them in the middle of some unwanted region.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-cache

But I didn't see any evidence of caching in the BZ, so it's a potential redherring.

The data spanning the corrupted regions was an RSA key, which is fine... some folks might get their kackles up, but meh... I'm not sure why a key file would be cached, unless it's a read cache, and then the normal vfs cache would be where.

For me it's been downhill since they removed "Compact" UI density, and I'd just as soon not jump through a bunch of custom CSS hoops to have sidebar tabs when nearly all the other browsers (outside of Chrome/Safari) are building them in natively. The main thing going for Firefox is being the independent rendering engine, for customization and power user features it's nothing special anymore.
Not only that. FIO is one of the most plain and easy to understand C code-bases I've ever seen. Studying its source code will help a lot in understanding of many aspects of Linux I/O subsystem, it's many drivers, the trade-offs between different approaches as well as give a glimpse into a bizarre and completely illogical naming conventions and traditions that will often trip the uninitiated.
Certainly you've heard complaints about "terminator" seeds through? That is just one aspect of the fight against corporate GMO practices.
But if it were true that the inclusion of such information is, in fact, framed to promote a narrative beyond just the facts, how is it a political cheap shot to point out the distinction, and wouldn't "[stopping] at the first sentence" be bias by omission? I would suggest that "the editing of history curricula that states like Florida are doing" is a political cheap shot if what Florida is doing is putting up firewalls that prevent such narrative propaganda. I think it's worth having a factual discussion about.

Has an API key issuer ever leaked customer API keys
There’s been plenty of examples where API keys were leaked due to poor API key management, such as the Algolia or Mailgun report.

There are also examples where API user data was compromised due to a breached employee laptop.

However, I’m curious if an API developer / issuer ever has leaked their own customers’ API Keys, I.e. Stripe leaking Stripe API Keys.

Having a feature is not the same thing as having API compatibility with Node's implementation of the feature. I think people are worried that an exciting project that aimed to have a different approach and a different set of trade-offs from Node will end up having to support everything that Node does, possibly inheriting its trade-offs and losing the freedom to innovate that they started with.

Even if there's no technical trade-off, it does seem that most of their engineering efforts will be focused on backwards compatibility with Node, instead of the new vision that they were promising.
We need to be both celebrating wins and working harder to improve further. There’s lots to do but this is encouraging to me that it’s possible to reach better outcomes.

Oh citizens can get jobs, alright. Record low unemployment. Wage inflation through the roof. We need citizens to get off their butts and take the jobs that are out there.
This, so much this. My family often jokes about how I'm the health and fitness "freak", because I care about my wellbeing and stress levels. However, this is very normal in my social circle - and I would argue - in my class and generation. A few examples come to mind:

- The rise of social/fitness loci. Young people socialize through sports, cycling groups, climbing gyms.
- The advent of data-driven fitness. So many people have wearables, sleep trackers, follow the science behind health (Huberman podcast, Rhonda Patrick, etc.).
- More people are opting for healthier living, generally (regular bedtimes, stopping or greatly limiting drinking, removing stigma from mental health diagnoses).

It feels like this generation is the first to really prioritize physical wellbeing as a primary driver of overall quality of life. I sincerely hope this trend sticks, and we look back 20 years from now and are surprised that so many people for so long neglected the fundamentals of health.
The author appears motivated by some... interesting... beliefs. Hard to tell if this entire thing is a joke or not.

EDIT: the author seems to be releasing poor implementations of recent papers in an attempt to drive attention towards an AI-related death cult.
Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps were two very different places. Extermination camps killed people. Concentration camps are where people lived and were worked to death.

The extermination camps were usually next to concentration camps, where the survivors could live to work in the extermination camp. Some of the confusion is that the complexes are called "concentration camp" like Auschwitz which had 40 individual concentration and extermination camps. Probably because the concentration camps came first and exterimination camps were added on.
The article seems quite unclear about potential consequences of using su this way.

I typically use su to run some program in its own user account to ensure:

- it has its own homedir and doesn't fill mine with garbage.

- there is some level of isolation from the rest of the system for security, a basic "jail". I'm not trying to protect against targeted attacks from extremely competent threat actors here, but rather trying to stick software into its own user account so it can only access that account, with isolation of the same level as if I had manually logged in to a secondary account.

Can such programs break out of their "jail" when using su?

Or is the author of the article just angry for other reasons?
H1B visa rules require a minimum salary based on location. It’s not that they can take ‘almost any offer’. The offer also has to satisfy the Labor Condition Application.

> "ulcers aren't caused by stress, they're caused by bacteria" to "no actually ulcers might really be mainly caused by stress."

Por que no los dos? H. pylori needs to artificially buffer its micro-environment in order to survive. Anything which disrupts the production of stomach acid or digestive proteins could give it an edge.

Anecdata of 1, but I had a bout of bad chronic heartburn after eating at some sketchy food joint. I was popping omeprazole like crazy. Somehow in researching this, the topic of hydrogen forming bacteria came up. I somehow hypothesized that PPIs were actually exacerbating the problem, because the higher pH was allowing the bacteria to survive. I put myself on a high prebiotic/probiotic diet, stopped the PPIs and antacids, and it resolved completely by a few weeks later. I could easily see a similar thing happening with heliobacter.
I don't have a full picture of the various crewed systems, so I'll share what I figured out:

Starliner is the capsule. It looks a lot like a bigger version of the Apollo command module.

The rocket part is an Atlas V, which is venerable and reliable. So venerable that they're about to retire it. But they can also put it on a Falcon 9 or something called Vulcan Centaur, which I've never heard of but which is supposed to launch soon. It's apparently a bit more powerful than the Falcon 9.

If I'm understanding this correctly, it means that they're less worried about "rocket go boom" as "rocket go up with living people but comes down with dead people".
> This is largely due to global trade being flat for the past 10 years

People are consuming more international goods and more domestic goods, so trade as a percentage of trade relative to GDP has stagnated, but not volume of trade. Since 2008, maritime trade has increased by 3 billion tons or 37% [1].

> Did you know that rent is part of GDP?

It's also a component of the inflation, so it cancels out. Housing is getting more expensive, but part of it is that we are consuming more of it than we used to. Home sizes have been growing, but household sizes have been falling [2].

100% agree. Reddit is propped up by its name recognition at this point. In my local city subreddit, I wrote a comment on a political thread. My comment appeared for me -- and clearly did for other users temporarily since it was being voted on. After a few minutes, when viewing the thread not logged in, it revealed my comment was removed by a moderator. The post continued to appear like it was visible to other users when I was viewing it from my account.

It completely killed my spirit for wanting to engage with my local subreddit. This wasn't an isolated incident. I had submitted local news articles previously to the city subreddit only for it to be instantly "shadow banned" (appeared for me, not for others) due to keywords used in the article title. When messaging the moderators asking why the thread wasn't appearing, I never received a response.

No recourse. No accountability.

That sounds pretty bad but what do you mean by "browser chrome"? Isn't the claim here that they injected an ad into an actual page?
They should have thought, “wow, this system should be in the rest of our cars and it’s already developed.”

Companies can’t identify high performing small teams, because the managers that run ocean liners and tankers can’t understand how to run a small ship — and the incentives are generally reversed or at least radically different.

You can be assured it was a bean counter not an engineer or product person for sure — said with love.
Ignoring the ~2.9% of Credit Card Processing Fees ( on average it would still be higher than 2.9% ), I dont see how they charge 10% for their services is exploitive jerks.
Equating a high GDP with "better off" is problematic.

It could be backed by products that nobody wants (wars and such) or it could be at the expense of other quality of life metrics such that the juice is not worth the squeeze.

It's like lifting weights to get huge instead of to get strong or healthy, you can end up some undesirable results.
You imply reddit is sane. :)
Obviously in hindsight it was a very good idea to award the contract to two teams to develop commercial crew, but Dragon/Falcon has a good service history now.

Also, the ISS is will probably be retired in 8 years or less, so NASA could simply buy Dragon flights to cover them through that time.

It's not clear what the purpose of either vehicle will be once the ISS is retired, especially considering that Starship will very likely be flying, which completely changes the economics and practical possibilities of spaceflight.

Even in the context of the partially reusable Falcon 9, Vulcan makes very questionable sense, but in the context of the fully reusable Starship, Vulcan seems incredibly wasteful to continue flying.
I doubt it was injected into pages. The screenshots shows the top chrome dimmed. I suppose people conflated not being randomly selected to get the ad with an ad blocker blocking the ad.
These are important questions.

So many wild goose chases come from never asking "Who actually want this, and why do they think they need it?"

Sorry, I have to point out: Tensorflow is not comparable to CUDA. Tensorflow is a (arguably) high level library that links against CUDA to run on NVIDIA GPUs, as does PyTorch (the main competitor).

Comparatively few people have “deep” experience with CUDA (basically Tensorflow/Pytorch maintainers, some of whom are NVIDIA employees, and some working in HPC/supercomputing).

CUDA is indeed sticky, but the reason is probably because CUDA is supported on basically every NVIDIA GPU, whereas AMD’s ROCm was until recently limited to CDNA (datacenter) cards, so you couldn’t run it on your local AMD card. Intel is trying the same strategy with oneAPI, but since no one has managed to see a Habana Gaudi card (let alone a Gaudi2), they’re totally out of the running for now.

Separately, CUDA comes with many necessary extensions like cuSparse, cuDNN, etc. Those exist in other frameworks but there’s no comparison readily available, so no one is going to buy an AMD CDNA card.

AMD and Intel need to publish a public accounting of their incompatibilities with PyTorch (no one cares about Tensorflow anymore), even if the benchmarks show that their cards are worse. If you don’t measure in the public no one will believe your vague claims about how much you’re investing into the AI boom. Certainly I would like to buy an Intel Arc A770 with 16GB of VRAM for $350, but I won’t, because no one will tell me that it works with llama.

The idea would be not to store those data on server only process it and keep anonymous data or even only aggregated.
Some processing maybe could be done also on the client or payslip user name masked after verifying it matches passport holder locally before sending to server. Other option using blockchain with open source repo.

I know a lot of HN users are in theory very distrustful about anything new but in practise still:

- using VPNs (even paid one don't guarantee your data is safe)

- tor

- open source password managers (w/o reading source code)

- Dropbox etc

- compiling random open source code first without reading

- having no issue telling hour rate or daily rate recruiter on linkedin when asked and attaching resume.

So what's so very sensitive in payslip if you already providing this kind of information to any recruiter?

> EBV research has been a backwater in medicine

Truth. I moderate a forum for people suffering from Mononucleosis and the overwhelming feeling is abandonment and fear. Granted there's some inverse survivorship bias -- people who feel well supported and educated by the medical system usually don't post in support groups -- but it's so hard seeing so many people suffering for so long (SO LONG -- years of fatigue and malaise, in many cases) for something that has basically no first-line therapy.
I was tempted to downvote for the lack of empathy for people who are threatened with being kicked out of the country if they don’t immediately find new work, often after spending years or decades building a life here.
Saying there are cases where full scan is better than an index is really just describing an edge case where the default index implementation is non-optimal.

There are edge cases where default implementation of an index will not result in good performance in some use cases. For example, write heavy loads where the updated tuple values are frequently changing position in the index constantly. However, the solution is rarely "no index".

A solution is to throttle the index update by an acceptable delta through a non-default implementation.

A solution is to develop your own application-side index.

A solution is a custom PSQL function that interacts with an index in a more complicated way.

Maybe a non-default implementation is not priority right now, e.g. if scale is low. But it is always good to think ahead and to have a plan and to log the tech debt and track it responsibly so there are no surprises later. Don't build on shifty foundations.
In reality the bar to clear this requirement is quite low. E.g. "We put an ad in the (physical) local newspaper one time for this job, with every single esoteric skill this individual has, listed as hard-requirements..." is typically sufficient to check the box and say "We've tried, nobody applied!".
It's not inconceivable that Elon Musk could pack up his toys and move his business elsewhere. He has amply demonstrated his mercurial nature and his willingness to throw a pile of money/infrastructure/relationships onto a bonfire just to watch the fire dance.
