The question is what's the shortest sequence that contains every permutation as a substring. If each episode after the 14th got you a new permutation, you would need 13+14!, but that's not possible. For example with 3 episodes, you could begin 12312, then any episode you choose from that position does not contribute a permutation. I think the shortest sequence goes 123121321.
But they cost money and are not as easy to access when you want a specific one. Especially ones in other languages.
>If the election really was stolen they seem pretty docile about it.

Has January 6th already slipped from your mind? Aside from that it's strange to suggest we should ignore what people said, consistently, for years.
Literally everything you do with your work supplied hardware, software and services is fair game for your employer. If you don't like what your employer does with that access, then find a new job. Personally, I'm amazed at people who treat their work laptop like their personal property. It's not.

This is settled law, so it's not changing any time soon without legislation. In other words, don't browse pornhub or work on your startup on company equipment. It's not a hard concept.
> If a television series has just three episodes, there are six possible orders in which to view them: 123, 132, 213, 231, 312 and 321. You could string these six sequences together to give a list of 18 episodes that includes every ordering, but there’s a much more efficient way to do it: 123121321.
Is this a spoof?

A person could have incredible memory and still lack knowledge.
Most likely.

But many would not need to live with the existential dread of perhaps ending up living under a bridge some day. Or skipping meals just to make rent.

Perhaps some would not need to give up on their lives and education by getting some minimum-wage job to help out their family or because of some early accident instead of going to college.

I am quite certain it could end up a net positive for society as a whole.

Reminds me of that quote:

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

And yes, it would shift the power dynamic in the workplace.
Yes but that doesn’t lead to new mathematics!

> Isn’t it standard to quote total comp as salary plus equity even if the equity takes years to vest?

This isn't how pensions or civil retirement plans work. Contributions during an individual's career result in predictable and proportional fractional payouts after retirement or leaving the civil system.

Again: the implication is that civil servants are somehow making out like bandits here, when 71k take-home is well below the average SF salary[1].

Edit: And to tie a knot around it: no tech job I'm aware of includes the "market" value of their insurance plan or matching schemes in their TC numbers. These would be closer analogues for what's happening here.

I don't think other countries don't have the same problem.
For example, people I know in Serbia who work in education complain about kids being worse every year and not being able to do anything about it. Kids hitting teachers and such. I think similar policies are in place there as well, it's very hard to put any kind of disciplinary action against kids.

I've also heard from friends in Netherlands who complained about slow decline of the education system.

Now, these are all anecdotal, so maybe it is all middle age people complaining about new generations, but I sort of doubt it.
Btw, I don't think the pandemic is a cause of it, to me it's social media. I think pandemic just accelerated how much social media is central to kids' lives.
> I predict these children will have more social issues in adulthood and thrive less well than those who had smartphones when they were younger.

From the article -

One of us (Jones) was involved in the first major field study on CMNs, published more than 25 years ago. That study found evidence of net carbon transfer between seedlings of two different species, and it posited that most of the carbon was transported through CMNs, while downplaying other possible explanations. This is what’s known as “confirmation bias,” and it is an easy trap to fall into. As hard as it is to admit, it was only due to our skepticism of the recent extraordinary claims about the wood-wide web that we looked back and saw the bias in our own work.

Over decades, these and other distortions have propagated in the academic literature on CMNs, steering the scientific discourse further and further away from reality, similar to a game of “telephone.” In our review, we found that the results of older, influential field studies of CMNs have been increasingly misrepresented by the newer papers that cite them. Among peer reviewed papers published in 2022, fewer than half the statements made about the original field studies could be considered accurate. A 2009 study that used genetic techniques to map the distribution of mycorrhizal fungi, for instance, is now frequently cited as evidence that trees transfer nutrients to one another through CMNs — even though that study did not actually investigate nutrient transfer. In addition, alternative hypotheses provided by the original authors were typically not mentioned in the newer studies.

As these biases have spilled over into the media, the narrative has caught fire. And no wonder: If scientists themselves could be seduced by potentially sensational findings, it is not surprising that the media could too.
This one is kind of hilarious:

“Why are old people so obsessed with collecting things like spoons, thimbles, and shot glasses? It's like they want to have a tiny version of every object in the world.”
They really do compute just a single token at a time, but the input to that decision is the number of tokens in the context window - so that's usually around 8,000 tokens (approximately 6000 words).

You can experiment with smaller LLMs on your own devices to get a better feeling for how that works.
I can't speak for crun specifically since I haven't used it personally but almost every single C application I've had to deal with had these hard to debug memory corruption bugs which required an expert (me) days/weeks to fix. And that included the Linux kernel itself btw, the difference being it was almost always fixed in the upstream by the time I found it.

> The principal issue with Go applications in my work continues to be the massive size of the executables.

That is certainly true in general case, however out of curiosity I went to see the size of containerd runtimes on my machine and:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 1001 121 46889792 Sep 22 2022 /usr/local/bin/containerd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1001 121 9699328 Sep 22 2022 /usr/local/bin/containerd-shim-runc-v2

Does not seem that bad... (note that only the shim is launched per container, containerd process is a single systemd service)
Am I the only one who only cares a little bit about range beyond 300kms and doesn't care about range at all beyond ~600 kms? My biggest problem with electric is there is a 15-20k price premium in my market right now over equivalent gas vehicles and I tend to buy vehicles and drive them into the ground over 15-20 years so if I buy electric I am 100% getting stuck with a fairly expensive battery replacement way before I usually get hit with an engine or transmission or other large problem in a gas vehicle, so life expectancy is way lower for my lower yearly kms spread over a long time period use case.

When are the sodium ion batteries (or some other tech) that is both dramatically cheaper and likely durable enough to take battery replacement off the table as a risk for 15+ years of the vehicle's life?
The only datasets that will be useful to train LLMs in the future will be the ones generated before 2022. Any content generated after this date will be analogous to steel forged after 1945, it will be inevitably contaminated by the "radioactivity" of LLMs.

The good news is that the availability of data to train more and more powerful models will soon be gone, the bad news is it will take the internet as we know it with it.

It will be a sad day when most of HN posts are AI generated, but this day will come, it's pretty much inevitable.

The article doesn't do a good job of explaining the constraint.

The sequence being generated is called a superpermutation [0].

From the Wikipedia article:

"""
...a superpermutation on n symbols is a string that contains each permutation of n symbols as a substring.
"""

In other words, construct a big long string made up of the N symbols where every permutation of the N symbols appears in it. Since there's the possibility of overlaps, you can do better than the naive method of just pasting all N! permutations together.

Note that this sounds very similar to a De Brujn sequence [1] but is different since a De Bruijn sequence ask for every possible sequence of N symbols (of length M, say), not every possible permutation. So a De Bruijn sequence would have 000, 001, 002, ... 200, 201, ... , 222 in it whereas a superpermutation would exclude (or at least not count) some of those sequences as they're not permutations (012, 021, 102, 120, 201, 210).

I recall a few years ago it took a couple weeks in USA for people to shut themselves into their homes, fear being close to their neighbors, and wear face masks at grocery stores and while driving in their own cars. Sufficient fear will cause mass obeying and hating those who don't obey. It can be done again.

This is basically true. CNN invested to build a reputation for being always on, so when something newsworthy happened, people would flip to them right away. To be fair, the reporters usually tried to report soberly and factually when that happened.

Today no TV channel can beat the Internet for being always on. No one runs to their TV and flips it on to see what’s going on; they pick up their phone… a place where CNN does not stand out at all.
> So how does the profit sharing work, numbers-wise? Proportional to salary?

In my business we split it "evenly" with weight given to how many hours each person worked on each project. You could think of it like a variable hourly wage based on the profit of the business as a whole. But that's just one model that works for us as a small firm, there are other ways to structure it. Again, I recommend reading about Mondragon's policies for another example, though I can't say I agree with everything they do, but that's up to them not me.

> And who decides each year/quarter what portion of the profits go to employers ...

I'm assuming "employers" was meant to be "workers", as there is no longer a separation between employee and employer. Everyone is equal.

Ideally this would be decided by all the employees through consensus-based meetings, with some discussion about what is necessary and what is not. That's not to say there can't be financial experts involved giving more knowledgeable opinions, but the decision must be everyone's.

People are more incentivized to let some profits stay in the company if the company is theirs. It's not much different from how the capitalist feels about "the company's money". The co-op company growing stronger is directly beneficial to each and every individual worker. If I personally work extra hard, I directly gain more money in my paycheck. That does not happen with a capitalist company, where working harder benefits one or a few shareholders who have nothing to do with the work being done.
Just goes to show, you have nothing to lose by organizing Sitdown strikes which effectively take possession of the business. You couldn't possibly run it worse than our self-appointed lords and masters.

I mean, if you're all going to get laid off or furloughed and the CEO's are charlatans. May as well give it a shot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitdown_strike
To be fair, CNN’s heyday was mostly centered around the major international crises between the end of the Cold War (“the end of history”) and major uptake of the internet. Similar events would be treated as a “slow news day” today, because the audience only cares about international news when it suits them. Their major domestic coverage of the LA riots would set better precedent for a US audience, except everyone is either inured to the exaggeration of non-news to that proportion or acutely aware that news of that proportion like mass violence is barely reported at all.
> Well, if our arguments are going to devolve into trite cliche then I might trot out: primum non nocere -- First, do no harm.

Oh get over yourself. I used a “trite cliche” as a way to give a general sense of the point I was trying to make before going into it more detail. Had I responded with only that, sure, that would be devolving the argument, but I didn’t.

> It is not clear to me that this approach is free from potential harm. On the contrary, limiting people's access to participation seems like the kind of tool a wealthy elite would gladly wield against the poor and disenfranchised. I strongly doubt that it would primarily be used to protect the weak.

That’s a strong argument and one that I’m inclined to agree with.

So the premise of the problem is the need to egress traffic to the internet from a private VPC, without using an expensive NAT gateway. The solution is to do NAT manually by having an EC2 instance in a public VPC, and tunneling traffic from the private VPC through that instance.

The meat of the article is how to create that tunnel using S3 for data transfer instead of using a more traditional VPN service.
I’m curious what skills these pre-teens would miss out on by not having smartphones. They can still use computers, tablets, and dumbphones. And once they’re 14 their parents can decide to let them have a smartphone, so it’s not like they’ll go off to college never having touched a smartphone.
Counterpoint, I grew up without any screens, and am more tech savvy than both of my kids put together. When the technology arrived, I learned programming, word processing, the web, google, and collaboration, with no effort at all. Likewise my siblings and my mom. That stuff just isn't all that hard. It doesn't require an entire childhood spent learning it.

Apart from the not-at-all-paranoid answer of "money", it's probably just easier for them to program - if you're going to have (honestly, required for 99% of users) integrations with cloud services like alexa, google, homekit, HA etc. where you need to provide an end-point, it's just easier to make your own app talk to the same end-point. Which is money too, I suppose.

I did a whois on the IPs I was given and found they were owned by one ISP and were all in a similar range so there's that. A lot of ISPs (especially T-Mobile) lease IP space out like this too: https://rasbora.dev/blog/detecting-residential-proxy-network.... I would probably be paying a lot less if they were unethically sourced.

In general, if a provider advertises a 5-figure-IP-sized "pool" of IPs with a guaranteed number of "ports" (simultaneous connections), then the operator is almost certainly someone looking to monetize a botnet. Usually the cheapest plan would be something like pool of 20000 IPs - 500 connections, with the number of connections maxing out at 1/4-1/2 of the total IPs due to diurnal dynamics (people in major botnet victim countries like India/China often turn off their routers every night). Also advertising really specific geotargeting is often a sign that they are marketing to carders. The Krebs articles about awmproxy/TDSS are pretty good if you enjoy reading about this kind of thing :)

I think they mean if say there were episodes a, b and c the orders to watch would be abc, bac, cba, acb, cab, bca. Now if you watched abcba you'd experience both orders abc and cba but only watch 5 episodes in a row instead of 6. So what is the minimum number of episodes to watch in a row to experience all six different orders?
At a certain point, I can redefine your entire response as agreeing with me, hence obviating the need for a detailed reply.

Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest
As you may be aware, there is an upcoming protest[0] on June 12-14 where many subreddits[1] are going private for 48 hours in protest of reddit's API fee increase[2][3], which many expect will lead to the end of all third party apps.

I moderate a few subreddits for a niche hobby, and decided to join the protest. We're fairly small, if non-negligible potatos: altogether, maybe 10k-15k active users on a busy day, but still want to show support.

So, I commented to add the subs to the list[1] and made announcement posts based on the template[4] linked from r/modcoord.

Several minutes later, the site logged me out. I received an email from reddit that said my account had been locked for "suspicious activity" and I would need to reset my password.

The timing seemed curious, but as I was logged in over an Airbnb's wifi, I figured it could be legitimate.

When I logged back in, I saw that all of the posts and comments I've made from this account had been deleted. The password reset requirement is understandable; the fact that the posts and comments were not restored, less so.

Looks like it's finally time to encourage my community to move to another site.
