It's still going to be pretty common for at least a few years, and the now incorrect assumption that it is still broken I'm sure will persist for a decade or more among those who have been burned and thus moved on from Alpine and do not follow it.

DNS is a fun rabbit hole for interviews, for sure.

My favorite one to see on a resume is NIS. If you are listing NIS and don't have horror stories or other things to say about NIS, that's a really good indicator of the value of your resume.

I intentionally list NIS on my resume because it is such a fun conversation topic to go on about how security models changed over time, all the ways NIS is terrible, but also how simple and useful it was.
I saw this on Mastodon! Gorgeous art!!!
Looks as if OpenGL support was added to Temple OS.
This is already (effectively) the case. All satellites launched from the US need to have a plan to safely deorbit within 25 years after they’re no longer in use. I believe this was recently lowered to 5 years. For many satellites this just means natural decay and burn up on reentry. Satellite owners need to submit an orbital debris analysis as well to prove they won’t hit anything. Other countries and the EU have similar (often more strict) regulations.
And on up-to-date versions, OpenSSH client and tools are available from powershell or cmd.

It needs to be a coin so they can pocket $240m in an ICO, which is significantly easier than getting a large government contract because ICO investors are not sophisticated, largely don’t have rights, and insider trading is much easier.

I wouldn’t put it past Musk to have had it programmed in such a way to maximally cause discomfort.
Then there's people acting like 'politics' was never a meta-argument to begin with, it's just as much apart of the breakage. I remember having an assistant coach who'd debated in the 80s being befuddled that we were arguing what Republicans thought of the plan.
Bill Gates had them on a Silverlight demo website.

Yes, the only way to hire is to ask people who have jobs to come work for you. And to raise prices to keep the lights on.
I'd wait until my sore throat is gone. And if I have a disability for longer I'd have to learn to navigate the world my friend. Just like me and you have had to learn to read and write. Funny enough, we also had to learn to use a phone. Oh how dare companies expect us to know use a phone and dial a few digits!
That's (almost) exactly what khoj search provides a search-as-you-type experience but with a natural language (instead of keyword) search interface.

My workflow looks like:
1. Search with Khoj search[1]: `C-c s s` <search-query> RET
2. Use speed key to jump to relevant entry[2]: with `n n o 2`

Just tried it and worked almost immediately with the counter update! Nice.
If they allow this to work with English -> English, I bet it will be very useful for lecture videos where the speaker does the "uh uh uh um um umm" thing (since those utterances don't get added to the subtitles.) I'm looking forward to trying this.

Also, I think some people are fixating on "forget subtitles" in the headline. Youtube obviously aren't going to take subtitles away. The article doesn't suggest that people stop using subtitles. It's just a meaningless figure of speech.
Yea can get wonky, -c:v copy is the correct flag to not re-encode

SOC2 Suck – A False Sense of Security
To piss people off.
>I was asking about your experience since you indicated it happened to you. If you don't want to share thats fine

I just have written two paragraphs on my personal experience

>seem to think that verifying your membership by asking for your card is "being treated like a criminal."

not at all what I said, but I think you knew that

>I don't really know how many times you would have to shop at Costco to not know to have your card out.

Not addressing my point but again I think you knew that

>This will be the scenario you run into when your membership expires

Again, gift cards are highly regulated in my state. They don't suddenly lose all value contingent on the buyers standing at the store. You're making that up for some reason. Do you work for Costco?

>Great, then apply your personal knowledge to where you live

That's... what I've been doing this whole time, thanks
A society that views children as cost has things very backwards. They are the prize and the whole point of this game.
Very similar price, but from what I gather very different model. One important difference might be if you regularly run short-ish training runs over many GPUs. Lambdalabs might not have 256 instances to give you right now. With OP you are basically buying the right to put jobs in the job queue for their 512 GPU cluster, so running a job that needs 256 GPUs isn't an issue (though you might wait behind someone running a 512 GPU job).

No idea how capacity at lambdalabs actually looks like though. Does anyone have insight how easy it is to spin up more than 2-3 instances up there?
XFEL is

> Wavelength 0.05 to 4.7 nanometres

which is sufficient and possibly excessive.

Not that I know anything about any of the other considerations in such things. Is 3.4 km "too big"? Is €1.22 bn "too expensive"?
The complexity exists because it creates demand for products that eventually become entrenched over time (Terraform, Kubernetes, DevOps products, SCRUM/Agile etc.). I don't think this is necessarily bad, but I don't think the complexity will ever stop existing until the incentive structure to keep it in place goes away. It's hard to reverse complexity, so I can't really see this happening.

I do think that the definition of 'growth' will change from spending money (i.e. 'growing a team' or 'growing headcount') and sheer output (we hit X goals this year) to actual long-term profitability (not just EPS like it's been for the last year or so). I don't personally benefit from this (since I am a tech worker) but from a social standpoint it's probably a good thing.
Must have been a pain porting it to machine code…lol
That's why we have timezones, so that not all humanity is asleep at the same time.
True, but like Amsterdam it is mostly flat, right?
Outside of a few niche scenarios with large authors, I don’t see the upside. And those authors have to care in the first place to keep Goodreads updated else Goodreads has a new problem of being stale since now it’s relying on author activity.

I don’t think this is as trivial as you suggest. Training users to not take “reviews” too seriously seems like a sensible trade off.
Yeah that's not a secret. I'm not sure why you thought that was relevant here but I'm not going to deny it.
Ah, we're running a medium amount of compute at zero-margin. The point is not to go sell the Fortune 500, but to make sure a grad student can spend a $50k grant.

Right now, it's pretty easy to get a few A/H100s (Lambda is great for this), but very hard to get more than 24 at a reasonable price ($~2 an hour). One often needs to put up a 6+ month commitment, even when they may only want to run their H100s for an 8 hour training run.

It's the right business decision for GPU brokers to do long term reservations and so on, and we might do so too if we were in their shoes. But we're not in their shoes and have a very different goal: arm the rebels! Let someone who isn't BigCorp train a model!
I suspect you could get the same benefit by paying some random nice person to talk with you for an hour about anything. Whether the topic is your star chart or home decorating or model railroads probably doesn't matter. There is a lot of evidence that frequent social contacts produce better mental health outcomes.
It's odd that this is the conversation when there was an extremely high top end tax and the government was taking that money and turning it into infrastructure and jobs.

We saw this dream start to disappear as we un did those things in the name of freedom.

Now, we produce more per capita than we ever did before and we get less of that pie as wages have stagnated and taxes go to corporate hand outs and entitlements (healthcare and social security), which are more or less a corporate hand out since they no longer provide pensions for people that work a life time for them.

It's unclear to me why the conversation is centering better standards of living elsewhere as if we haven't added a couple billion people/consumers to the world in that time.
I’m fairly confident this is not a first. It’s just good behavior if you have a defunct but controlable satellite in low earth orbit. A best-effort burn to deplete fuel and aim for an ocean is an obvious choice. While it’s interesting, it is not novel and I think the reporter over-sensationalized here.
Okay, so do the math. How many Starbucks coffees should I abstain from to afford a home?
Probably depends on what exactly the product is.

For example, many consulting firms do not really sell technology. They sell handholding for organizations scared/unable to figure out technology and they quite often screw up the actual technology itself without any real consequence. There are plenty of companies where whether something actually works is not a key determinant of sales/revenue.
This video discusses the work on pure gtk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPwr8WeE8jU . I found it by following this story. It talks about Emacs essentially becoming a GTK widget and possibility of nesting GTK widgets in Emacs. I'm not fully aware of what they will lead to.

Dude was already above the average cited in the article before he went under the knife. That's some tragic dysmorphia.
What's up, Python? The GIL removed, a new compiler, optparse deprecated
There's a reason guides like this are a dime a dozen - there is no way to generalize server configuration this broadly.

But as long as we're doing it anyway - the only thing that locking the root account gets you is assurance that if you ever bork the user you created in this guide (or sudo functionality as a whole) you'll have no way to recover without booting into another environment.

Perhaps one ought not take sysadmin advice from a blog post with a first sentence that reads "I’m not a sysadmin, and I don’t want to be".
How do you measure?
Failed in a sense that it was intended to replace IPv4. At current rate it's going to take additional 10+ years to replace IPv4.

Also, many don't seem eager to adopt it. If that is due to the protocol or just the lack of tooling, I don't know.
For English I only notice it miss technical words, confusing them for more common words. Regardless of accent.

For Russian, which I don't understand, the result is maybe 50% intelligible (particularly when technical jargon is probably involved). But 50% is still infinitely better than what I can do with Russian myself (0%).
I’m with you. I’ve spent a huge amount of my time working with older folks in particular, and the complaints about change have essentially shifted from $every_major_release_or_two to, we’ll, every release. My grandparents started shopping online during the pandemic and every week they had a new complaint about some change on the site. (I saw most of those changes and they certainly weren’t user-friendly!)

I’ve felt myself being able to relate more and more. I have a lot more work on my plate now that requires synthesizing previous experience and existing expertise, and that is challenging to do when entire teams at virtually every vendor seem to exist solely to implement changes for the sake of changes. Software moves fast these days and that can be fine, but it doesn’t seem like all that velocity is really genuine in the UX space.

My experience isn’t everyone’s experience of course, but requiring that _everyone_ learn new ways of interacting with essentially every product regularly, makes me feel like it’s just busy work to keep up with the proverbial software UX Joneses. (And everything looks the same now, so I’m not sure that’s the hottest take around…)
This. A mailing-list-driven workflow is not as difficult as it appears, and Magit makes everything a breeze. However, I cannot complete the copyright assignment process, and consequently I am unable to contribute to the Emacs proper beyond a few lines of trivial changes.

It is so discouraging that I stopped working on the Emacs core [1] altogether: your contributions won't be acknowledged at all, even if someone volunteers to rewrite your code from scratch.

[1] I've been hacking some GUI-related features, but I'm not motivated enough to complete them. I also tried to write patches for my bug reports, but alas, my "CA-free" quota is already used up.
There's a value to compartmentalization, and this solution does not capture it. If you have to make one small change and it cascades through individual modules of your code, it may be true that more work is required, but you going through the work of implementing it "three times" comes with some advantages. For example, if there's a business need to change the database system, you have already taken care of most of the work to do that. Meanwhile, the proposed solutions sound like they would require a huge commitment to move all of your codebase to an obscure framework, with the presumed upside that you can sort of rely on them to properly abstract the other work for you.

My question too. At $2/hr for H100 that seems more flexible? But I haven’t tried to get 10k GPU-hours on any of these services, maybe that is where the bottleneck is.

I agree idioms aren't going away. I will mention that even ChatGPT-3.5 can help to understand comments like the one at the top of this thread[0], which seems like a boon for non-native English speakers. ChatGPT-4 is obviously even better. (As a native English speaker who knows a decent amount of Spanish, I have also been impressed at how well the various LLMs can do with translation... honestly, substantially better than Google Translate in a lot of cases, in my opinion.)

Obviously it’s different for everyone. Count yourself lucky I guess!
The point of gpt4all is that you can change the model with minimal breaking. You should be able to change this line https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/blob/master/src/khoj/process... to the model you want. You'll need to build your own local image with docker-compose but should be relatively straight forward.
I'm skeptical of that. Why do you say so?
You're expecting WAAAY too much if you think this right-wing rage-bait piece is going to get their facts right.

What a beautiful quip.

What if I'm building driving theory testing software? That's a very on the nose example. What about ticketing systems? Reminder app? TODO app? Wishlist functionality?
077 is a bit too restrictive for a lot of workloads. 027 is recommended by CIS for servers and 022 for desktop.

If you are sure you can use 077 without stuff breaking, awesome, but that's not always the case. Typically on systems using 077 you will find yourself using chmod a lot.
Seconded. The auto generated subtitles were basically useless until literally a matter of weeks ago, but there has clearly been some kind of massive advance.

The auto-generated subtitles still struggle with very strong regional accents, very poor sound quality or people talking over each other, but they're good enough for the vast majority of content. It doesn't seem to make dumb errors any more, just the kind of understandable errors you'd expect from a human stenographer.
Yeah, on macOS it works well, because the Ctrl-based shortcuts don't get in the way of the regular keybindings.
Wow, I sure hope no one who manages anyone agrees with this person.
Thanks, I was pretty sure the details weren't 100% right.

Another overlooked point is that it wasn't immediately obvious that the Hittite ḫ was related to Saussure/Möller's laryngeals, because the theory wasn't fully accepted at the time, and not everyone understood it. Even after the ḫ was identified in Hittite, it took a while for people to make the connection.

Do you know what Saussure's initial evidence for h2 and h3 was?

LLM's need to be trained on something, and the more the 'market' for text is flooded with ChatGPT output, the more relatively scarce human-written text will be. However, if in the long-term, LLM's hinder peoples' ability to string together sentences or otherwise affect the quality of their writing, then (modern) human-written text might not be so valuable. In this case, the value of past human-written text will skyrocket (Twitter, Reddit, etc. will make a killing).
Rutkowski looks like a clone of Boris Vallejo. It's not that unique a style. Heavy Metal magazine used to be full of that stuff.
Both of these regulations you mentioned are indeed valuable when doing medical software development in EU (mdd/mdr).

Show HN: FFmpeg and Replit for C Programmers
Hey guys,
I made an online course teaching FFMPEG C API. We turn FFMPEG command line text into actual C code.
A finding I had when I took a management role was that it's really hard actually getting anyone to do a good job of something. This is utterly frustrating. So many people actually don't give a fuck if what they do works or is of merchantable quality as long as it's perceived they are working for the hours required. I've found that the teams usually divide into functional elites that do the work unattended and I'm dealing with micromanaging the rest and trying to educate them.

I've spoken to managers in other sectors and it's the same for them too.
> ... then your libMagick might be too old

I did check: I'm running the latest Debian stable, Bookworm, which basically just came out and it ships ImageMagick 6.9.11 but apparently JPEG XL support was only added in 7.0.10.

Oh the joy of running Debian! (I'll see if I bump ImageMagick to a more recent version or not).
The "above-average lifestyle enjoyed at that specific point in history" came in the US because Europe was destroyed in WWII, and they got to easily be the world's producer and exporter and dictator of terms for decades. That plus strong unions and growing economy. And the tide also lifted black people with it, that's the era when the civil rights progress was made, for example.

Oh, and Europe also ended up enjoying a similar stability and uplifting economy a few decades later, as the economy recovered there too, without having those other groups to exploit, and even for countries which lost their colonies the decades prior.

The economic rise since the 60s though (in productivity, GDP etc) hasn't translated to similar stability, because the unions were left to die, and neoliberal politics and attitudes became the norm, while the banks and capitalists got a free pass to anything they wanted.

>Less frequently, they already know this and simply don't care, and it's always useful to give this group an opportunity to be explicit about their priorities.

I think it's more that people making your argument are with the side of capitalists, and you want to make a bogus argument as if livable wages and job prospects are racist and only feasible when combined with exploitation, to absolve the current neoliberal order as "the best possible world". So they weaselly mark anybody pointing to those things as pinning for the rasist aspects of 1950s/60s too.
Ah yeah, that's normal! Was from my old CRDT company, and works as a good emergency email while we debug our DNS.
Being a manager happens organically to some of us because the challenge of getting a system of people to work is an organic next step from getting a system of circuits to work. People create such interesting, unique, and unpredictable problems compared to systems that have become quite predictable after a number of years of experience. Really nailing a people problem gives me that same high a successful compile used to.
