Yeah I have no issues hearing an ICE vehicle coming from behind me when I'm on my bike. OTOH I have had many scared sudden encounters with an EV coming into my field of view.

Tyres on the road are white noise and barely noticeable. I don't know if they're louder than engines in terms of decibels as I've never measured either, but engines are definitely much more of a nuisance.
I agree but a moat is not a “stone” - or not sure how to name this.

Just like we have schools and roads and public TV we should have a blog and an email for everyone on public infrastructure. Full of spam etc, but it should exists. and it would teach people about the problems of cybersecurity.
Blogspam at scale?
You're correct, it does not account for alignment.

The reason it helps performance is because it allows the compiler to accumulate in byte sized SIMD variables instead of int sized SIMD variables. My system has AVX-512 so 64 byte wide SIMD registers. With the non-blocking version, the compiler will load 16 chars into ints in a 64 byte ZMM register, then check if it's an 's', and then increment if so. With the blocked version, with the uint8_t tmp variable, the compiler will load 64 chars into uint8_ts in a 64 byte ZMM register instead. But there's a problem; we're gonna overflow the variables. So the compiler will stop every 128 iterations, and then move the 64 byte uint8_t accumulation variable into 4 64 byte int accumlations registers and sum them all up. Then do the next 128 iterations.

I'm pretty sure a similar thing will happen with SSE or AVX2 but I didn't check.
I must be misunderstanding the pricing (talk about confusing) or the value proposition.

The way I understand it those $5 give you all the management features and $5 worth of compute.

But compute costs $10 GB/month for RAM and $20 per vCPU/month.

So in comparison to a VPS this costs $30 for a full-time 1vCPU/1GB machine, ignoring network egress.

At least as a VPS replacement this really doesn’t seem worth it. For that money I can get a 12 vCPU / 24 GB machine with my current provider, which includes 80TB traffic.

You might enjoy this conversation, which goes into why we get so many papers like this:

TLDR; the incentives are all aligned for researchers to do very narrow, marginal work.
If I write a poem and put it into Stable Diffusion, how is what is produced not a derivative work of my poem? We can argue that it's a derivative work of many other things, but that doesn't make it not a derivative work of the poem.

One way it might not be is if Stable Diffusion is seem more like a hash algorithm than a synonymiser. But I don't see why it should, because there's a meaningful correspondence between the input and the output of the system.
If you don't need to "commit" the output, you can just use nbconvert[0]:

jupyter nbconvert --clear-output --inplace my_notebook.ipynb

So you can use git as usual, like for code.

Amazon has had a print-on-demand service [1] for a while so the real question is whether major publishers have been signing deals to use it. Maybe from their perspective it's worthwhile for older books, to avoid maintaining lots of slow-moving inventory?

> That’s not up to the aggressor to determine. “Lighten up baby, you shouldn’t be afraid of me” is not how it works. Especially after NATO countries have engaged in so much belligerence in just the last 25 years (Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.)

Except thats nothing like the situation.

The situation is more like a drug addict who keeps breaking into his neighbours houses to steal there things and rape and murder their family members is now shouting about how his neighbours joining a group to protect themselves is being "an aggressor".

When was the last time NATO invaded Russia?.

Answer is never.

When was the last time Russia invaded a member of NATO?.

Theres a reason the Baltic states wanted into NATO so much, and that so many regions that were previously under "Russian influence" jumped at the opportunity.

They know the horrors that the Russian regime brings.

Ah I see you're just a Vatnik. There makes it clear, your are compelled to defend the Russian point of view and write paragraphs and paragraphs of whataboutism.

Your view of "evenhandedness" is just straight up Russian propaganda.
No, they are "famous" for having the best drivers but not open sourcing them.

NVIDIA's drivers are practically the same size as an OS anyway. Arguably they are an OS, for the GPU instead of the CPU. So it's not a huge surprise they don't give it all away for free, especially as software is a competitive advantage for them.
Show HN: FieldDay – create custom vision AI apps with your phone
Hey all! I'm Nick, co-founder at FieldDay. We are launching our app publicly today and I'm excited to show it to the HN community.

With the new wave of AR/camera devices and latest AI breakthroughs, we think now is the time to build a camera-first app platform.

We are starting by shipping a tool that allows you to train custom models from your phone. You can collect and manage data from your phone, train a model, and finally test the model and analyse your model. This quick iteration cycle lets you quickly refine your models to make them robust. Once you're happy you can export in various formats and we are also working on hooking it up to various actions.

We see ourselves as a spiritual successor to tools like Lobe.ai and Teachable Machine but we believe letting people collect, train and test from their phones will open up a lot of use cases that are hard to capture on your desktop computer or by looking for datasets online. And of course, we are excited to offer much more than classifiers in the future.

Let me know if you have a cool use-case or what we could do to make this useful for you. Also feel free to hit me up at nick@field.day if you encounter any bugs or have a question.

Thanks!
The question of whether it's more profitable not to care is easier to answer: it definitely is.

Software reflects our understanding of the problems and concepts at hand. Good software implies developers who understand what they are doing and why they're doing it. The reality though is that good software is almost always not actually necessary. Corporations are perfectly happy pushing out minimum viable products as fast as possible.
They’re legit - most of the times. Most of the times it’s cheaper to print on-demand if you don’t know how many copies you’re going to sell. For instance, OpenStax usually prints its books through Amazon.

I’m surprised hearing about big publishers such as Penguin using the on-demand service though. Maybe they use it to provide books which are out-of-print or which don’t sell a lot.

Given Amazon scale, I’d not be surprised if some of them are being sold by non copyright owners though.

The US is not in the list of countries with equivalent protections, in fact most of the world isn't in that list. Which means in effect it should be in EU. Another nearby location that's permitted is UK, but they have no data center there at all.

Yeah and most didn’t have this capability generally considering both the costs and the little amount of use you'd have for it.

You'd expect something more federal like the NSA, CIA or the FBI to have this kind of capability which is why its kinda a big deal when normal cops get it.
Linux Kernel Security Done Right (2021)
My parents were immigrants, and my expectations are because I saw them work 24/7 to barely scrape together a life for my younger sister and I. I was specifically told to be careful while playing, because a doctor or hospital visit would set the family back.

If I did not have kids, my comfort level would be a lot lower. But I feel like I decided to bring them into the world, and so I owe it to them to bed financially secure enough to provide them healthcare and my time.
This conspicuously missing detail tells me that this is the main reason, and they know it too.
This all seems to be missing the point. What does using DNS for your identity do for your actual data? Your data is still going to be on whichever platform you log on to, and otherwise wouldn't we want to be able to make a unique ID for each service?

Really, if you want a consistent, permanent ID, we might as well use our government IDs everywhere...
>But with crypto/blockchain showing up and things like interest bearing CBDCs emerging (BoE is running pilots) we are reaching an age where you don't need to put your Deposit in a bank to beat inflation.

So, at TCP level routing should allow ssh client to reach server. The session is secure (encrypted, authenticated) and logically allows multiple data pipes to be multiplexed of over the connection.

By default, one pipe is used to connect client terminal to a remote shell at the server, but it's possible to do something useful with the other pipes. For instance, user local forwarding, as port or IP address only locally visible to the server can be tunneled through a pipe and mapped to a port on the client machine.

So, in case of RDP: never expose port 3389 on a public IP. Instead use an SSH tunnel to route the RDP traffic through a tunnel over port 22 (or some random SSH port) and have it egress on the client's machine. Your RDP client can then transparently use the local port.
A big part of the problem isn’t actually chat bots even though it may well seem to be.

It’s that you can’t pop some system atop a teetering ziggurat of shitty data from mutually incompatible systems and think the fundamental problems are going to just disappear.

Example: I am currently executor of my dad’s estate and trying to get various policies and pensions and whatnot transferred into my mother’s name. One company seemed especially clueless when I emailed them so I called. Part of the voice prompt on the phone system was something like “if the statement we send you comes from city A, press 1, if it comes from city B press 2”. Well that’s a weird red flag right there also a teeny problem: my statement comes from city C. I eventually speak to a human but try as they might they can’t find anything about my dad.

Eventually I write to the company at city C and they’re super helpful. Basically this company is formed from the corpses of various pension funds which just get welded together. There is no underlying integration at all between the systems. They are separate companies in all but name.

You could have an agi chatbot and its still going to be lobotomised by this level of disfunction. In my experience the data landscape at many enterprises is like this.
Thanks! I saw the posts and have been making a move to newsblur recently, this will help a lot with content!
Hi! This looks like a useful product at a good price point. Are you based in Germany? How come you only ship to Australia, Canada, China, India, UK and USA?

Also, you should look through your privacy policy. Its straight up copy/pasted from Shopifys template now with all the "ADD CASES THAT APPLY FOR YOUR STORE", "REMOVE THIS TEXT IF THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOUR STORE" text remaining. And apparently you sell your customers information to display targeted ads?

I like the vision our chatbot team at work has there. They want their bot to have 2, maybe three tasks. First, it's supposed to be a neater way of presenting that initial phone choice of "Press 1 if you have an internet issue. Press 2 if you have a telephone issue". It's easier for some people to say "My phone is dead and has no free tone when picked up" and have the system recognize this as a phone issue. And second, it's supposed to make the collection of necessary data about the call smoother - since when does the issue occur, which phone number is affected, what's your account number. Once it has those (or it gives up after 1-2 tries without progress) it hands over to an actual agent.

The value proposition there is that you save a few human employee minutes per support case.

Yes; my point is that 1% of the people who see this while browsing the App Store understand enough about the HealthKit data access requirements to interpret the language that Apple chooses correctly. And Apple does choose the language here, it’s selected by Meta from a list of Apple-created options.
Yes, good question.

Because su was there in Unix before sudo, IIRC. And sudo means "su do", meaning do (something) as su, which in turn meant "super user" or "substitute user" according to Wikipedia, since it can also be used to login as other users than root , e.g.:

I think the funnier part is this hits every single crypto cliché:

1) "exchange" doing shit that would put you directly in jail in any professional finance context

2) people with ~$0 money participating in the most speculative investment schemes

3) "exchange" having minimal handle on what they're doing, reverse scalping as part of 1) and not realizing this costs money (see Knight Capital)

4) "exchange" just ghosting with the 2) money when faced with negative pnl

Future of finance, amirite?

Just to summarise what's going on here, because it took me a little bit of clicking to get the gist of it:

> The goal of the LOLBAS project is to document every binary, script, and library that can be used for Living Off The Land techniques.

> The phrase "Living off the land" was coined by Christopher Campbell (@obscuresec) & Matt Graeber (@mattifestation) at DerbyCon 3.

> The term LOLBins came from a Twitter discussion on what to call binaries that can be used by an attacker to perform actions beyond their original purpose.

So it seems like a catalogue of (possible?) exploits in commonly-available executables, libraries and scripts that may already be present on a target machine.
A github action updating a static file is, well, webscale. And cheap/free to host.
Starting to get interesting. Not sure whether fixing the code, MacGyvering or brute strength will win the day.

No. Just….no.

There are any number of reasons why this is a terrible thought.

Boomers and Gen Xers were brought up in a world without the Internet and we all survived just fine.

Being told by someone who does something that we should all do the same thing, is a sign of emotional insecurity and narcissism.

Free choice is great. I used to have a blog, however I no longer had time for it. Which is also totally fine.

The older I get, the less I desire for my “public” me to do anything with Social media, leaving my various aliases (all different) to have that minimal outlet.

I think tunnelling is pretty common on networks divided into zones. It allows you to cross a zone but requires authentication. Effectively the same as a VPN but you don't need 1 VPN per zone.

A zone is basically just a logical boundary like "DMZ" for systems directly exposed to the internet, semi-trusted for machines accessible from the internet by other machines (like through a proxy or load balancer), and trusted/private for machines not accessible from the internet.

There's newer stuff like Tailscale that makes some of these obsolete and can introduce software routing rules so you could access arbitrary things through a single connection regardless of where they live from a network perspective.

Very clearly Twitter has not been able to run fine since firing so much of their workforce. The confusion here is because of 2 things:

1. Many people who were commenting on how this would adversely affect Twitter were doing it solely because they didn’t like Musk, as opposed to an understanding of how software development works. So these people were basically predicting that Twitter would stop working entirely in 2 weeks. But that’s not how software is developed. If it was, engineers would never be able to take a vacation and major web apps would all start failing on Jan 1.

Those who understood how software development worked recognized that what we would see instead is a slow decay in software quality where things would consistently become slightly worse. Also, we’d see a complete inability to change major functionality without causing problems. Finally, there might be a few big bang failures (eg the domain name expires, but no one with access to the domain is still hired by Twitter anymore) but those would be few and far in between and would take time to uncover (although it does appear Twitter has faced at least one such situation).

Twitter is indeed facing these situations.

2. The real threat to Twitter was always competition. In a competitive environment staying still is a death trap since your competitors will outpace you. There are a few reasons why Twitter has largely escaped this so far. (a) Twitter’s business is a fundamentally bad business model with a lot of hassles most businesses simply don’t want to deal with. (b) a misconception by many competitors that there was something fundamentally wrong with Twitter that needed to be addressed.

(b) is why Bluesky and Threads have been the most successful Twitter alternatives. They’ve basically been Twitter clones and are not trying to fundamentally change the model. Of course, Bluesky is now basically getting crushed by Meta’s resources and existing user base, but they were fundamentally ok the right track and could have been competitive if they were able to reach technical parity earlier.

Almost the same as my SWAR version - which is what you're doing.

But aren't you reading off the end of the buffer in your memcpy(&w...)? Say with an empty input string whose start address is aligned to sizeof(size_t) bytes?

I just passed in the string length since the caller had that info, otherwise you'd scan the whole string again looking for the zero terminator.
Correlation with other factors can also hide interesting science and understanding. There may well be mechanisms at play that we don't understand.

Sheesh, relax, dude. Python is a perfectly good language.
I think this is right. Some book stores in the US even have print-on-demand machines inside the shop. See https://www.ondemandbooks.com/ for more info about the printers.

Most publishers make good money on their backlists, with a slow trickle of sales across a huge number of titles. Amazon and other stores don't always want to stock these titles because they take up a lot of shelf space.

Publishers may not want to put them into book stores because they may be returned if unsold, and the return process is costly. So print-on-demand (POD) makes sense for both parties.

Amazon has been running a pretty big POD operation for years for its Kindle Direct Publishing arm, so they have the infrastructure to print books for others as well. And yes, depending on the machine, the covers may not look quite as nice as the covers from offset printers.
As I read the parent's point, I think he is advocating for kids seeing their parents work more often. As it is, kids in US don't experience the reality often. More than that, parents shield them from the reality as long as it is possible, because the reality mostly sucks.

I would think of it as 'take your kids to work', but more often. I am not a big fan. I was coming to my dad's car shop after school and I can't honestly say that I learned anything useful ( I could have, but did not ).
