Cloudflare want to be the internets backbone. And they've honestly succeeded.

Now it's almost impossible to access websites in an automated way -- the CTO posted you can just email him (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34639212) and he'll sort it. Because that scales.

edit: Mispoke about the CTO, said he would approve you, I was wrong. Apologies.

Their DNS is "privacy focused", but they provide "aggregated results" of domains. How is that privacy focused?

Cloudflare came from the approach of being a developers friend ("Look! SSL is now free!") but was given the internet on a silver platter.

That's a really funny comment, but it seems unnecessarily perjorative when there's an entire Linux distro built on this specific example of your magic pony.

Your position might be sufficiently extreme that it warrants reconsidering.
Has anyone compiled a list of those pushing forward and/or working on WEI?
> It is straightforward to show QM isnt a linear theory in anything other than an inf-dim space.

Even if this were strictly true, which it's not for any real purpose, it's completely irrelevant because reality is non-linear. This non-linearity is how we get probabilities out of QM.

Unless of course you're merely assuming a particular interpretation of QM that says otherwise, like MWI, but then I have no reason to accept this premise so your argument is still unconvincing.

> There is overwhelming evidence they are not, and no evidence they are.

In fact, the opposite is the case, and we don't even need any fancy arguments to demonstrate this: if what you say were true then a trivial proof refuting the Mathematical Universe hypothesis would have been published years ago. No such proof exists.
In my expirience people tend to ignore autogenerated messages in Slack.

The problem is non-technical people who are too lazy to read git commit messages, or PRs.

I had some Scrum PM who was bothering me with updates, so I was just copy-pasting git commit messages into Jira tickets (commit messages even mentioned the Jira ticket numbers - so it was just one hyperlink click away) ;)

Only top-level executives deserve carefullly drafted repoorts and presentations, PMs should be able to use the same tools as their teams.
All of them. You have to first accept absurd premises to start believing that it's even possible to treat livestock unethically.

Not only adblocking, but also crawling. They want to kill competition.
That’s a really interesting perspective. I hadn’t thought of it like that but it definitely resonates with my intrinsic drivers.
The browser would provide an api which returns a signed token which will be confirmed by an atestation authority.
Strong opinion: DO NOT break up your project into apps.

Make 1 app called core or common of whatever and replace models.py with models/<namespace_or_domain>.py and import those into models/__init__.py

Everyone jumps into apps with foreign keys across app boundaries and it makes a mess of things from the start that doesnt buy you anything.

1 app. 1 set of migrations. Turn models, views, etc into a package instead of the single file module.

Its the one thing I wish the docs would prescribe and demonstrate for new project advice. .
Building a Todo App with Rust and SvelteKit: Complete Tutorial [video]
Hello everyone, in this video I show how to create a todo app using Rust and SvelteKit.
To be fair they didn’t quite manage to complete it since at the end the British decide the Indian to keep most of the land the colonists expected to get.

e.g. Washington and his soldiers were promised quite a bit of land in Ohio(?) as a reward for helping fight the french. All of that land ended up being an Indian reserve the Crown decided to establish instead.
Yes, a kind of Linux like Ubuntu or Fedora that already boots with secure boot enabled with full support of TPMs and similar technologies. The kind of Linux 99% of Linux users are running today.

More secure variants like Android, leveraging SELinux and such, help with sandboxing but I don't think that SELinux is a struct requirement.
As a plant-based eater, I wouldn't shame people for their dietary choices. Culture changes super slow and we need to accept this. I'm already pretty pleased how it's commonplace now in the UK to have vegan options.
This was a lot of fun to make. Share the funniest of the generated explanations :)
Looks good! Thanks for sharing.

Shameless plug, but here in the UK we built Penny, which is an invoice factoring tool (U.K. only), i.e. You sell us your £1000 invoice that’s due in thirty days and we’ll buy it off you at a discount and pay it the next day.

We don’t have invoice templating but it’s a nice to have.

I’m still trying to crack the easiest way to reduce friction in entering enough but minimal data for us to be able to generate a usable invoice. Tough cookie to crack

Typeclasses dispatch is static. You can use a typeclass implementation as a proxy for holding a dynamically injected implementation you call through the typeclass implementation, but that's a hack, not exactly "elegant".
Yes, and I am still unable to play 4K Netflix on a PC that has been able to play 4K videos for about 7 years now.

What would that look like in reality though? Any guesses on how things would potentially play out?
Got it. I miss-read your thoughts on open standards. So don't require corps to use open standards. But have government develop their own open standards and releasing it.

Still think it is a tall order to have wide adoptions of standards without a little bit of a 'stick'. High Definitions TV's wouldn't exist if the government hadn't mandated the change to that standard. A lot of companies resisted it.

Except for a few utopian cases like TCP/IP, I'd be hard pressed to think of any 'standard' that grew on its own without some enforcement.
Regulation is just social pressure enforced by guns.
Is that the one that harangues you any time you load a page with non-GPL'd JavaScript on it? Because that was incredibly annoying.
I agree with your overall ideal of free access to information but I disagree that harassment is a necessary or even effective option to push against this. I think the harassment puts us in a category of ineffective, bitter malcontents and that’s not what we are.

We are capable of going to elsewhere to free and open access to information, and we would be better off spending our energy on positively influencing others to follow us in that direction. They can’t take away tcp, http, ftp, irc and all the other protocols that these megaliths have built their empires on, and we can still use those tools even if it’s a demoralizing regression to move back to the basics. Giants like google, Amazon and others depend on our unwillingness to rebuild. Let’s use our efforts and our ingenuity to show them that they’ve underestimated us.

We have the tools, we have the knowledge. Let’s be builders instead of petty complainers.
It’s far worse. If you go back to to the html and http protocols, they are extremely open and friendly. I would say extremely elegant and helped build the web we know today. But google has been iterating away from open and accessible standards in favour of controlling experiences (see amp, WEI, etc). I’m all in favour of secure boot chains with options for unlocking because of the security benefits. There’s absolutely no good user reason to apply this to web resources though.
pre-training is developing the language model's base understanding of conditional word probabilities.

SFT and RLHF is attempting to further guide the model in terms of steerability + alignment of output.

In fact, the InstructGPT authors were worried about losing the pre-trained model's underlying probability distribution, so they try a version where it penalizes the model deviating too significantly from the original distribution (using KL). I don't remember them seeing a significant difference in performance.
Is it just me or does this sound a lot like the DPOS solutions offered by many scammy ponzis under the name of a blockchain/cryptocurrency?
I've moved away from this idea over time even though it's intuitively attractive:

1. OOP is closely tied to language semantics but languages disagree on exactly what objects, methods and type signatures are, and programmers disagree on what languages they'd like to use.

2. From the end user's perspective it's often useful to separate code and data.

This isn't an anti-OOP position. I use OOP for my own programming and it serves me well. And modern operating systems are all strongly OOP albeit mostly for communication between micro-services rather than working with data.

One reason the files+apps paradigm dominates and not objects (despite several attempts at changing that) is because it allows apps and formats to compete in a loosely coupled market. I don't want to be tied to a specific image editor because I have an image object that happens to be created by some primitive thing, I want to work with the pixels using Photoshop. The concept of files, apps and file associations lets me do that even though it's not well supported at the bottom layers of the OS stack.

But OOP is fundamentally about combining code and data. So an image object, in this context, would have to be something more like a codec implementation that implements an IPixels interface. But again, even then, why would the two be combined tightly? What if I want to swap in a faster codec implementation that I found?

Follow this reasoning to its conclusion and you decide that what's needed is actually an OS that can transparently convert data into various different static formats on the fly, and which has a much deeper and more sophisticated concept of file associations. PNG<->JPEG should be automatic obviously but also, one of those formats you convert to might for instance be dynamically loadable code or a serialized object graph. For example, imagine you have an image viewer written in Kotlin or Java. You also have a complex file that nonetheless meets some common standard, maybe a new proprietary image format, and you'd like your general image viewer to be able to load it directly without conversion to some intermediate format. Then you could write a converter that "converts" the image to a Java JAR which is then automatically dynamically loaded by the OS frameworks and asked to return an object graph that conforms to some interface:

var image = ImageRenderer.load("foo.compleximage")
if (image instanceof WidgetFactory) { /* put it into a gui */ }

Java already has a framework for abstracting images of course. The trick here is that the app itself doesn't have to actually have a plugin for this new format. Nor does the OS need to be specific to Java. Instead the OS just needs a framework for format conversion, and one of the formats can be dynamically synthesized code instead of what we conventionally think of as a file format.

That's the difference between a sufficient condition and a necessary condition. It's likely a combination of factors were required that might not have been available in other places. But there were something akin to renaissances in other places before Europe, but changing environments/factors limited their impact or spread, or even outright ended them.

I always find the argument "but why didn't this happen elsewhere" bizarre, when ... it usually has happened elsewhere. Ignorance isn't a great argument. Like, other places often had sewers and other sanitation long before Europe, which implies that alcohol could have been a limiting factor for Europe while not being a limiting factor elsewhere.

>Where we disagree is in this 30% of kids killed and some high percentage eaten nonsense.

Well you disagree not with me but with the likes of Marvin Harris and Joseph Birdsell (their estimate go as high as 50%).

>That sounds about right for anyone tending crops when planting or harvesting by hand and many mothers hand tie wraps for carrying their babies ... you, ahhh, did know that I trust?

A typical peasant family could have as little as 20 acres of land, i.e something like 80*1000m, walking that many times over daily seems far-fetched, and the wealthier they were the higher the probability that a nursing mother would be left alone. Otherwise she'd sure carry one baby around, but by the time the next one came up the previous one could be left at home. You might have also heard about them traditional gender roles, where most of the hard work in the field was a man's responsibility, women mostly tending to animal and a (rather small) vegie patch/garden, spinning, weaving, sewing, cooking, cleaning, and yes, rearing children.

Your conjecture that sedentary people had to walk as much as hunter-gatherers to feed themselves has to be a joke.

And yes, the super low food density of any untilled land means you have to walk - a lot - to feed yourself. Doesn't mean there wasn't a temporary camp for a few weeks at a time, you still have to walk a fair distance around that camp to hunt and forage.

You're getting into Bruce Pascoe territory here, with imaginary huts and grain fields.

This is a crisis of our own making. You don't want Google taking decisions for the web at large? Then don't let them own 85% of the browser market share. When that's the case they don't need W3C or anything to implement whatever they want, they effectively control the client-side internet.

Unfortunately, when it comes to online applications, there is never a reason given beyond "We appreciate your application but we have decided to go with a different applicant."

As for interviews, I did a few technical interviews last year and discovered my data structures and algorithms knowledge was a little weak. I did spend some time practicing leetcode questions to shore up my knowledge in that area.

This year, I haven't managed to make it past phone interviews where my lack of (specifically) work related technical experience was brought up every time. I was told several times that my work experience, educational background and hobby projects (like homelabbing) were impressive, but did not make up for the lack of previous software development experience.

I did manage to do _some_ programming in my current job (writing queries for parsing security logs, shell scripts for processing plain text data, etc...) and I've tried to emphasize these acomplishments on my resume. I was also recently promoted to global team lead, and I believe there will be some more oppertunities to work on technical problems so I will keep this in mind for the future!
So who is using it, and where? I saw AI mentioned. Is this for the datacenter or more for the graphics/AI workstation?

I have some experience of deploying inferencing applications using AWS lambda and step functions after training it over colab. No costly scalable solutions please as I don't have the cash. Also don't want to meddle with Sagemaker and not know what is going on.

Just a noobie here and so would like to know a better way of doing this. And about retraining models is there a better way of doing this continuously than periodically aggregating and running colab/kaggle notebooks. Just would like a good cost effective solutions so the users might see the least possible lag and not know what shitty things are happening in the background.

Here's the story behind Fuchsia told to me by a Google employee:

One day a bunch of senior engineers wanted to quit. Google asked them why and they answered "we're bored." So google asked them "what would you rather work on?" and they replied "write an OS" and so google said "here's more money. do whatever you want."

Fuschia isn't a serious project. It was busy work to keep top employees from leaving for competition. I was also told that no one inside google seems to know or care about Fuchsia. It only ever was used in the smart speaker. And reading through the API and syscall interface its clear no one is serious about writing an real OS.

We use the Django Admin A LOT. It's an amazing power. Lately, we've also added a Jupyter server connected to a read-only DB replica, with the Django models available.

It's impressive how much you can do with these two tools. There's no need for an internal management dashboard or a BI tool. Just the admin and a bunch of notebooks.

(Obligatory note: we are a bootstrapped startup)

Maybe for two short years until iTunes came out. Then there was no service problem anymore. But CD sales kept collapsing while digital sales were hardly worth noting. Which proves that people loved pirated music because it was free, not because they couldn't buy it.

> created online marketplaces for games. The music industry didn't - and instead of creating Spotify a decade earlier -

Spotify exists for quite a long while now and revenue still hasn't returned, despite the world economy growing substantially since then, which refutes your theory. Spotify is so cheap because of piracy.

OK; I think we should break up WalMart, too.

The wave of consolidations that has been basically non-stop since the Reagan administration has left us with way too few competitors in way too many markets. We in tech are just particularly blind to it because of the platform duopoly that has seemed "natural" since the first major platform war between Microsoft and Apple in the '90s—there's this feeling that of course there will be a fight between a small number of competitors, and of course we'll end up with one company holding the lion's share of everything, partly due to network effects.

In a truly healthy, competitive economy, we wouldn't even be able to list the number of prominent online or brick & mortar retail companies in the "top tier" on both our hands.

Not denying there is a headache, but it's at least 50% arguable to conclude that the source of the headache is glibc rather than musl or any other libc.

The path of least resistance is merely the path of least resistance, not necessarily the best, especially in the long term.

At one point glibc was the weird incompatible limited headache, and the only reason you can enjoy it today instead of paying $1200 to SCO or someone, is because other people did not take the path of least resistance.

Altering the daemon would've out of the question but it would solve the more immediate problem of "Netflix doesn't work" that most people would actually care about.
