I have a setup like this:

- OCI free tier VPS with static ipv4 and ipv6, haproxy proxying requests over wireguard to my old laptop at home

- the old laptop at home running the show. Debian, Docker, ZFS. 16 GB of RAM is enough to host all I need for personal use. Battery is a built-in UPS.

I can even move this laptop and keep it connected via LTE. The laptop cost me 60 eur (Thinkpad T430 with i5), RAM upgrade to 16 GB about 20 euros and 2x1 TB SSDs for the ZFS mirror about 100 euros. Best setup I ever had.
Tbh. All NATO members should just put tanks at the border with Russia.

Russia will have no choice after their current weak performance ( Wagner could proceed a whopping 1000 km. Near Moscow - that's huge) to retreat some Russian troops from Ukraine.

And that should make it easier for Ukraine for their counter offensive.
> The group is funded by a nazi sympathizer

Who are you talking about here? Yevgeny Prigozhin? Dmitry Utkin?

And what is the evidence either of them is a "nazi sympathizer"?

As I said, I'm no fan of either man – I expect the day will come when the ICC indicts both of them for war crimes – but I don't see the point of labelling them as "nazis" on the basis of flimsy evidence. The case that they are war criminals is much stronger than the case that they are Nazis – and surely being a war criminal is a lot worse than being a Nazi (not all of whom were guilty of war crimes/crimes against humanity/genocide–Franz von Papen joined the Nazi Party and served Nazi Germany as its ambassador–first to Austria and then to Turkey–but the Nuremberg Trial acquitted him of all charges)

Yes! Actually we added a Flash integration for a similar use case (via Ruffle). Specifically to your question: people have used it from their old iPhone 4 to connect to a remote copy of the latest Chrome, for instance.

I often question this. It is something I really don't understand.

Gads, up until a few years ago, I was doing 4000-6000 cals most days. Other days, I was doing four shots of vodka and nothing else. I'm real thin, generally muscular, great health. Great health (to repeat) and quite capable of 20 mile hikes with a 40-70 pound backpack (absolutely no f' joke), at a very fast pace.

I still don't grasp this.
What do you like to do in your free time?

- Read alt right blogs

I'd encourage you to seek out diverse perspectives and try to understand a range of viewpoints. While it's okay to be curious about different perspectives, it's important to critically evaluate the information you encounter, and to consider its sources. Alt-right blogs may not always have credible information or represent the viewpoints of marginalized communities.

- Just kidding, I read blm blogs and follow AOC.

Haha, you had me going there for a second! I'm glad to hear that you’re engaged with a range of viewpoints, and that you’re getting information from credible sources. It’s important to stay informed and engaged in the world around us.

It’s aligned to Silicon Valley Left Liberalism all right. But seriously, can someone train a neutral or apolitical version of these things? Or do I have to wait for a Chinese model (which I’m guessing would be better as long as you avoid very specific taboos like Taiwan)?

A friend of mine was super into it for a while. All the people are hiding from new players. I had the same impression as you until my friend brought me to secret parties and stuff. But it has not kept my attention more than 8 hours in the last 20 years. I always wanted to like it, just didn't.
People do not buy consoles, they buy games, and PlayStation has the best collection of them across all categories. Saying that can upset some, but i think its true. Also Xbox has a bit more “edgy” or action oriented brand, while PlayStation has a more wider whole family brand. All of this helps make the appeal wider in general, while Xbox can have more appeal in specific niches, eg shooters, for example.
i think so because on Twitter you can always get some randomness due to the algorithm and someone might reply if your Tweet appeared on the "For You" tab. On Mastodon this "randomness" has way less probablity to happen unless you use hashtags and someone finds the Toot through the hashtag.

Quality of interactions apart, the randomness of Twitter is one of the things i miss on Mastodon.
This bleeds into the Init Wars (sorrows, prayers), but there was this idea for a while that every service was going to be directly queryable by the run control system so that there would never be a need for magic sleep numbers. The result fell rather short of the ideal (particularly on the teardown side of things) but it did at least help admins get a firmer handle on exactly where we were (and still are, for the most part) using magic waits of "long enough".
As a system administrator I want 2 things from config files:

* loading a directory of config files, so various Configuration Management tools have easier time deploying config (especially for multi-use apps like say syslog daemon, where multiple disparate apps might want to put a part of the config in)

* a function to dry-run config validation, so CM can alert about that instead of restarting an app to a wrong config

Finding where is one has never been a problem.
A government, non-profit or security researcher (or institute, for instance) could use it to build their own proprietary code that is not under GPL, but that uses BrowserBox Pro.
We're able to do something analogous to reinforcement learning (take on new example data to update our 'weights').

Why do I spend time debating these ideas on Hacker News? Probably the underlying motivation is improving the reliability of my model of the world, which over my lifetime and the lifetimes of creatures before me has led to (somewhat indirectly) positive outcomes in survival and reproduction.

Is my model of the world that different to that of an LLM? I'm sure it is in many ways, but I expect their are similarities as well. An LLMs model encodes in a form a bunch of higher order relationships between concepts as defined by the word embedding. I think my brain encodes something similar, although the relationships are probably orders of magnitude more complex than the relationships encoded with GPT-4.
Coz it's entirely miserable experience when you get like... more than 4 config options
It is interesting to compare the German Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia articles on him – both cite some of the same sources, but German Wikipedia presents it as conclusive "he's a Nazi", the English Wikipedia article says "sources X, Y, Z have alleged he is a Nazi due to reasons P, Q, R", but leaves it up to the reader to decide if those sources and their reasons are convincing.

Also, "88 = Heil Hitler" doesn't make a lot of sense in Russian, since H is not the 8th letter of the Russian alphabet (it is Ж, normally transliterated as zh), and "Heil Hitler" in Russian is хайль гитлер – х is the 20th letter of the Russian alphabet not the 8th.
Thanks for open sourcing this. However, you might prefer to use AGPLv3 over GPLv3, given the nature of this software.
Programs reconfigurable at runtime are by far rarity, as that's generally pretty hard thing to do. But yes, just have a config file, ENVs are nice as a backup for small apps, but never as only way
Well if you have the build automated, you can simply use a markdown editor and commit the file into git. It's not like an experience like Wordpress but i would say it's not that bad.
I dunno, I own everything Apple, except for gaming.

I have two of their best XBOX and I'm loving the game pass and their "game streaming" actually works.

In my mind, you can't get better value than XBOX for console games.

My kids have the switch, with all the mario titles, they're super cool too. But in terms of winning, XBOX has the best value proposition + powerhouse.
> For others, a lower power, but still high core count solution could be better.

I think OP's point is that you'd need over twice the number of the lower density cores to get the same performance, thus by going that route you'd end up needing more power to get the same computational resources.

To put it simply, with ARM you'd need a 4U to get almost the same compute as a 2U of AMD.

A friend working on this type of technology mentions that altering the frequency at which sound is emitted to those outside the human hearing range can make a big difference.
I have this tool, which is used in a few different environments, so I gave it a “xxx config” command which tells which config files were read, which environment variables were used, which environment variables from the tool’s XXX_ namespace are unknown, what configuration values are effective etc.

I don’t think anyone ever used that function.
and thus you end up with slow software

Programs should not only report where the configuration files are located, but also report how configuration options contained therein are read in:

Some programs use a "last occurrence wins" approach, while other programs (e.g. sshd) use a "first occurrence wins" approach.

Buried in https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sshd_config(5) and awkwardly expressed:

"Unless noted otherwise, for each keyword, the first obtained value will be used."

That's why e.g. Debian's /etc/ssh/sshd_config ( https://salsa.debian.org/ssh-team/openssh/-/blob/debian/1%25... ) starts with

Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf

, so that custom configurations in that directory win over the distribution-provided defaults set up after this Include directive inside /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
This reads a lot like the feigned ignorance old Slashdot meme:

It’s not hard to find real data that goes against your anecdotes.
All parts of systemd are configured entirely using plain text config files and symlinks.
No, I communicate very directly, and made my needs very clear over three years. The only time I suddenly was taken seriously and not ignored was when I started talking about ending the relationship - i.e. when her support was threatened and she had to actually care.
Aren't the AmpereOne CPUs already on the market? They were announced a bit over a year ago, offer PCIe 5.0 and DDR5, and were officially presented last month.
Yes and no. Some LLMs can’t get the right answer no matter how many rolls of the dice they get.

The bigger BS is that several questions weren’t questions and some didn’t have enough detail to be answered and it somehow got 100% on those. This IMO out the entire paper into the trash.
We're considering doing something similar in my department. Based on some back-of-a-napkin math, it won't (yet) be cheap though, at about $0.40 per query.

This is assuming the use of gpt-4 (chatgpt would be a lot cheaper, but it doesn't follow system level instructions very consistently, often spilling answers instead of replying with feedback, hints and leading questions).

Also, projected costs per query are high because we want to feed it quite a lot of input tokens. The assignment text, the student's code as well as the reference solution code.

I think that's a little too reductive—foo.txt wasn't a real app.

Nonetheless, I agree with your broad point: that if somebody can use it under the GPL, they can redistribute it and then all those downstream users can use it under the GPL.

But I disagree there is anything to fix. It's copyleft FOSS but businesses are encouraged to buy a license. Everybody wins.
Vast majority of them will be used to just host a bunch of small VMs for customers. The "almost all other cases" are the minority of uses here
I maintained a CLI tool for a long time. I came to the conclusion that good config is a bit harder and more subtle than most people think. I agree with the premise of the article, but there are more layers to it, literally.

Depending on how much config you have, sooner rather than later you’ll have multiple sources: system defaults, user config files, sometimes profiles, env vars, and flags. Configuration may be sourced from a combination of these, so overrides need to be handled and naming needs to be consistent. Another source of mess is deeply nested config, such as for a user-defined project. Those are very awkward to add flags for, in which case it’s better to enforce a file (like kubernetes config).

To me, tools like git strikes a good balance. And by that I mean that project-local config is in a project root directory that’s not necessarily checked in to VCS, but picks up the config even if you’re in a subdir. It rarely causes any unwanted surprises, but at the cost of being somewhat flag heavy, which is then alleviated with user-defined aliases.

It’s extremely difficult, especially for an extended time, but it is possible. A lot of “successful” traders start selling educational material after they gain some success and fame.

Out of the truly successful ones, the best example I can think of is: https://qullamaggie.com/about/

Yes, because no one you know has an XBox, it obviously means that Microsoft isn’t selling any…
I didn't write that Putin's image was being strengthened by having Lukashenko act as puppet, the point is that he had to choose between being weakened or weakened and ridiculed. Also, in the same context they granted impunity to all Wagner soldiers; this must come from Putin, not Lukashenko, which has zero power in Russian affairs.

Moreover, note that the two Russian officials shown talking with Prigozhin in Rostov are Shoigu's #2 and Gerasimov #2. They didn't seem entirely comfortable in that video, but that sends a message nonetheless. Also, Prigozhin never addressed Putin directly. There's a lot of stuff going on there, probably too much to draw conclusions, but I'm sure we'll see some people "disappear" or die of "natural causes" quite soon.

My deck works fine in the garden, the sofa or the train.

And I was able to get a Lenovo SFF Ryzen 5600 for £300 from ebay, which is cheaper, smaller and faster than the current consoles.

It's a shame that Valve don't distribute the current Steam Deck Linux, but HoloOS does effectively the same and that plugs into the TV just as well.

You don't need to compromise with PC gaming, and when I upgrade I won't be forced to buy all my games again to carry on playing Overcooked and Moving Out with the kids.

F1 Supplier Releases $38K Carbon Fiber Chassis for the Build of Your Dreams
You make a lot of good points, but you fail to realise that your points make "failure" or "success" relative to the way people were using the platform.

For a Twitter user that spends most of their effort posting low-quality content to countless followers, then your points 1 and 2 apply and a move to Mastodon would likely "fail".

For a Twitter user that spends most of their effort infinite-scrolling through an algo-manicured feed of content, then they'll be sorely disappointed as _you_ have to manicure your own feed by finding people and hashtags to follow. This is a variant of your point 2.

For those Twitter users that actively build little communities, where the connections matter, the content to/from each other matters, and they care little for the algo-feed, then Mastodon can, and has, been very successful. I know because I'm one of those, and the thematic server I've joined as a lot of like-minded members. We've created a lovely little community which I really enjoy, to the point of donating to the server admin to scale his infrastructure. But yes, this requires effort. For me the reward is worth it.

it's not just for opening a tab.

Atua is a desktop app available on all my Mac apps. You can trigger it with a simple hotkey, allowing you to ask a question and receive an instant response. Moreover, you can create custom commands and assign hotkeys to them for instant reuse.

For example, imagine you're chatting on Slack and want to improve your message's writing. In the past, you had to copy the text, navigate to ChatGPT in a browser, and ask it to fix the grammar or rephrase. This method was cumbersome when repeated multiple times a day.

With Atua, you can create a command once and assign a hotkey like ⌘+P. When you press the hotkey, it triggers ChatGPT to rephrase your text, and you can paste the revised version using ⌘+Enter. The process is seamless and automatic.

This is just one use case, but you can do so much more with Atua, such as translating text, summarizing articles, using it as a coding assistant, or asking random questions. The power of ChatGPT is at your fingertips.

This sums it up for me.

Microsoft doesn't know how to create a consumer product. The Xbox owners I know were also PC gamers at some point.

Seems the crux is in the auto-updating, right? So now we have security people telling us to always run the latest updates, to protect against 0-days, and security people telling us to not update, because that lets the service spy on us.

It does not seem to me that there is any middle ground, barring writing your own client, from scratch, against an open protocol.

EDIT: seems to me that web-based e2e encryption, as described here, still protects you from irresponsible employees of the service reading your messages. And database leaks etc. Getting an update that spies on customers shipped is not a trivial thing in most organisations.

HN readers don't use gaming consoles? "Nintendo" is more of a household name than "PlayStation" or "Xbox"? Doesn't sound like a objective analysis to me.
Well, the introduction of new built-ins can bring some surprises into existing code that relies on the same names.
Not really, none of the second article's philosophy seems to show up in this article: "Hold Yourself Accountable/ Help With the Dirty Work/ Be an Engineering Management Ally/ Be a World Class Copilot" seems to conflict with their scenario "In any case, PM acting as QA is not a healthy state. If PM is catching lots of bugs in UAT, engineering teams need to re-evaluate their QA strategy and fix the problem ASAP".

Also as commented, the OP makes too many implicit generalized assumptions about the org: that PM and developers report to a similar management chain (that's often not the case, depends on the org) or at least is aligned with compatible incentives. Their throwaway remark "if the engineering team is much less tenured than the PM" and the lack of inquiring about why that scenario might have arisen makes you wonder, too.

Without wanting to diss my fellow Australians (though I too was absolutely perplexed by the focus on toilet paper; folks - this is a respiratory virus not a gastro-intestinal one!), perhaps one reason is because we are so far from the rest of the world, and import LOTS of stuff. As global trade came to a halt, perhaps we were more sensitive to that possibility?

Note: I will admit that when I found myself forced to wait in a supermarket queue for half an hour to get a pack of toilet paper, I did wonder whether I had been prematurely harsh on the more panicked among my fellow citizens.
