Neither Russia's "just look at that (Mercator projection) map!" geographic dominance by Siberian tundra and subarctic land, nor Russia's current economic dependence on the West Siberian petroleum basin make it a non-European country.

No idea why it’s trending, but it is not very random. It’s probably the most popular DDNS out there right now. A lot of docker images have built in support or plugins to use it in conjunction with lets encrypt for HTTPS support.
> I'm guessing that you don't actually dive into each paper to 100% understand it

Depends on the paper's content but there's often sections that you don't need to 100% understand to get value. For example, in survey papers, there's typically a section that is basically "what queries we typed in at the library." I skip those and I think you can too =)

For practical papers, sometimes the evaluation can be skimmed. Author's benchmarks are usually designed to be the most favorable to the paper's novel approach, so I don't spend too much time thinking about them.

Similarly, Related Work sections can be skimmed. If you're well read in the field, you probably won't learn anything from it, and if you're entirely unread "its like X but different because Y" isn't helpful as you have no idea what X is, beyond the one dense sentence the paper just gave you.

If I really want to remember a paper, it goes into Anki flashcards. This is rare, personally. Usually only for tech I support in prod.
To put this into perspective, the R234 billion ($12.67 billion) coal-fired Medupi Power Station¹ generates at full capacity 4800 MW. And here, 2200 MW of generation capacity was added at the cost of R12 billion ($650 million)

> A good example is that llama.cpp is a fantastic framework to run models locally for the single-user case (batch=1). While llama.cpp supports different backends (RPi, CPU, GPU), I don't think it would be particularly fair to compare and show that MKML is better at a given perplexity, compression ratio, and speed on GPU for a multi-user case (batch >> 1), when that is not llama.cpp’s targeted use case (afaik).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding MKML. As I understood it, MKML is a compression step that then feeds into another framework like HF's Transformers or PyTorch. If that's the case, then comparing MKML to llama.cpp is apples to oranges—the correct comparison would be to GGML and the various quantization methods. The inference engine and its intended use cases aren't what's in question here.

If a model compressed with MKML outperforms a standard quantized model in a batch setting, that's useful information! It would not be at all unfair for you to cite that as a strength, and it would increase your credibility because you wouldn't seem to be dodging the question of how you compare to your substitutes.

The right way to start is with HTML and motherfucking website.

https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Really. At this point this is what websites should strive to be. Text on the screen.

Everything about HTML can be learned from the MDN documentation:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML

It can be written by hand but that's way too verbose. Pug is a great solution to that problem: it's just HTML but much less verbose. I integrated it with GitHub Pages so pug sources get compiled to HTML and published when commits are pushed. Great experience.

Ask HN: Slashdot Website Clone?
Been trying to locate a clone of the Slashdot website. I recollect it was alt something and had a similar theme visually.

Looking for the alternative, as the Slashdot site doesn't render well in the brave browser, which I've configured to render all sites in dark mode by default and have also turned on aggressive level of blocking trackers and anti-fingerprinting.

Can any HN reader recollect this website? Or was my imagination playing tricks on me?
I find this appeal to find something other than a “doom” view bizarre. It’s a catastrophe. Do people expect to find some version of this story that ends with “but we can solve this with a minimally impactful solution that doesn’t cost you or your community anything”?

Maybe you don’t care about trees and animals. Global economic degrowth is gonna happen anyway as ports flood and countries lack the resources to tackle the project of rebuilding the backbone of the current global economic system. Source: https://e360.yale.edu/features/how-climate-change-is-disrupt...

So look at this story as another alarm bell. You and your family are going to be directly impacted by global warming. Asking for a happier story doesn’t change anything. It’s time to grow up and accept we put off dealing with this and it blew up in our faces.

We can either willingly engage in economic degrowth with some say in how it happens or we have a global recession/depression and all the chaos and social upheaval that comes with it. It’s bad, lots of people are going to lose their jobs and communities are going to collapse. That’s gonna happen regardless. Pretending it’s not doesn’t do anything.

I’m probably going to lose my job in that scenario but that’s the price of humanity being selfish and putting the problem off. At least with some extreme action now we can tell future generations “we tried something after waiting too long”.

No, actually it does not work that way. You have it backwards, first of all: IPv6 AAAA record is queried first, then the connection is attempted, and then a fallback may happen to an A record and an IPv4 connection attempted.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5220.txt

I'm not sure why you specified "if a host has no route to the address", because that's a very specific and transient failure. Furthermore, the dual-stack handling necessarily happens in the application, so this is not an OS or kernel-level decision, it will be subject to each individual app's behavior: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SERF-190

As you can see from RFC5220, IPv6 is preferred over IPv4, unless an option is set to swap those around. Of course, certain configurations can confound this preference order, such as ULA IPv6.

"No route to host", as should be obvious, is only one of many errors that could prevent an app from establishing an IPv6 connection. It would seem that they should handle most failures as an occasion to fall back to IPv4, unless configured not to.

Please reconsider this notion that it's rare for women to have fulfillment in life without children. It's really hurtful to women who have trouble conceiving or have had miscarriages (miscarriages are shockingly common) to have the added societal pressure.

Ask HN: Challenges with Creating Open-Source Clones of Commercial Software?
Is there a way to check patents related to a particular piece of commercial software?

Are free and open-source (FOSS) clones susceptible to legal action in the same way that "commercial clones" are?

Some projects copy UX and GUI's extremely closely to the commercial version, is this actually legal?

If you clone it from scratch (without using License restricted libraries), does that protect the project?

Apologies if these are dumb questions... I'm interested in making a clone of a useful piece of CAD software, and am interested in possible implications of copying something.

I think that a companys ability to do full remote heavily depends on its culturenas the article also points out. I worked for Red Hat for ~2.5 years as an engineer and not once have I been to an office or even met anyone else from the company. However, my manager for most of the time was an old school RHer and really treated work as work and had his social life outside the company. We got a ton of work done in that time with a minimal amount of meetings.

I've also been in teams/departments that were heavily concentrated in certain offices, had a tendency to hire from that area, or needed frequent offsites. The people in those departments were much more pf the sociable kind, spent much more time in meetings, even when doing so remotely. They also tended to do much less in writing. Working remotely and in a documentation-first fashion was a lot more difficult here, but given their line of work (closer to the customer) this is not exactly surprising.

It doesn't work for everyone, if you want a remote company you, you have to hire and organize accordingly. YMMV.
"Planned obsolesence"... I get the desire to bash Microsoft at every possible opportunity here, but one thing Microsoft did better than most companies was backward compatibility and the ability to run legacy programs / maintain API compatibility going back years. Windows 3.x -> 95/98 legacy (even 16bit) apps continued to work. There are APIs even in Win10/etc that support old apps. I don't think Microsoft can be one of those "orchestrating planned obsolesence". This comment is particularly inaccurate.

There are things that are valid for complaining about Microsoft, but "planned obsolesence"? No.

Dockless scooter and board companies usually need a license from the municipality, because they are using city property for storage space. Dallas regulations [1]. Seattle regulations [2]. Spin was licensed as Seattle's fourth dockless scooter service in 2021.

That's what Spin didn't like - competition.[3] "Open permit markets are places where multiple scooter companies can run businesses, with no caps on fleet sizes. Bear (Spin CEO) said they "create an uncertain operating environment" with "race to the bottom pricing." Apparently, Spin gets double the revenue in (non-competitive markets) compared to locations with a free-for-all market.

Er, that's how capitalism is supposed to work. They can't handle a free market.

I think anyone who has experienced burnout of any severity sees the WHO definition as scoped from the employers point of view only and as a productivity issue. As a human though it extends to all aspects of life. I disagree with the assessment of the article too.

I’ve gone through burnout and mentored a few dozen people going through it. It’s nothing to do with relaxing, or is confined to work. It’s all encompassing, has strong parallels and likely includes depression and an anxiety disorder. It has more of a sense of the inability to initiate anything rather than the inability to do nothing. Everything feels too hard, you feel too old, you see no prosperous future, and you yearn to end everything - not suicide, but to quit work, quit life, and disappear. These sounds like the appropriate mental response to unrelenting and uneasing stress to which you see no way out of. Most people suffering burn out spend an awful lot of time simply doing nothing.

However myself and the folks I’ve worked with as a mentor at work on burnout share the trait we lose the ability to identify things we enjoy - video games, music, travel, etc, lose their redeeming value and they can’t identify what music they like any more or a game they want to play. When they relax, it’s spent ruminating. To that extent maybe the articles point is true.

For me the way out was vipassana meditation and Buddhism. It taught me to master my rumination, detach myself from the stress, and discover the value of simply being rather than being someone or something. I recommend it to most people but only one or two have actually tried it.
Seconded. A debugger is a very efficient way to print out values in the middle of a computation. Example: in a test case.

That’s fair. I don’t generally think of Russia when people say Europe, but historically it is (at least the parts that are in control politically). If someone in the US says “I’m taking a vacation in Europe” and I ask “oh which cities are you visiting” and they say “Moscow”, I would be pretty surprised, but that doesn’t make it not Europe.

I’d also be curious if you have a less trivial example, since it sounded like you had multiple in mind with the generalization and I’m not sure which countries I should be avoiding (I didn’t know about any).

On a side note it blows my mind that the Russians weren’t brought into the fold after the USSR collapsed. Incredible missed opportunity for peace.

Agree the Chinese here may be doing the rational thing. I think people in the west have an exaggerated view of how bad China is for Chinese. Culturally we are offended by a lot of the government practices, but not everyone has the same culture (of course).
This is an exciting and commendable collaboration between IBM and Hugging Face, together with NASA's involvement, to democratize access to AI technology and further climate and Earth science research. The announcement of the open-source availability of IBM's watsonx.ai geospatial foundation model, built from NASA's satellite data, on Hugging Face is a significant step forward in advancing AI applications for climate science.

The fact that this model is trained on Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 satellite data and fine-tuned on labeled data for flood and burn scar mapping, resulting in a 15 percent improvement over state-of-the-art techniques using half as much labeled data, is impressive. This model has immense potential to aid in various environmental tasks, such as tracking deforestation, predicting crop yields, and monitoring greenhouse gases, making it a valuable tool for addressing pressing environmental challenges.

Moreover, the commitment to open-source principles and information sharing demonstrated by IBM, Hugging Face, and NASA is laudable. By open-sourcing the model and datasets, they are enabling researchers and scientists worldwide to access and utilize this valuable resource, fostering collaboration and accelerating progress in the field of AI.

Additionally, it's great to see IBM's dedication to creating flexible and reusable AI systems, as well as their focus on developing models that can be adapted for different tasks and scenarios. The commercial availability of the geospatial model through the IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite later this year further underscores IBM's commitment to advancing AI technologies for practical applications.

In summary, this collaboration represents a significant step forward in utilizing AI for the betterment of our planet and addressing climate and Earth science challenges. It's heartening to see leading organizations coming together to harness technology for positive global impact and promoting the open sharing of knowledge to foster innovation and progress.
Cloud PC is so wonderful, as people give Microsoft perpetual access to all their data and any secrets (mi casa es tu casa), at a much higher yearly cost. Brilliant!

The encryption protocols available haven't been the weak link for some time, no one cracks the messages in transit; you just go for the endpoint. If you can hack the OS and exfiltrate screenshots it doesn't matter how secure your app or network channel is.

The only approach that's given me hope has been Tin Foil Chat, isolating the keychain from the network. Me and some fellow noisebridgers built a kind of cyberdeck prototype implementing this but couldn't find much interest in commercializing it. Since the input stage is isolated from output, you can't copy paste any public keys but have to enter them manually (448bits as 56 characters) and messages/attachments can't be forwarded. Juice wasn't worth the squeeze overall. We'll see if there's a milder approach here but I don't see anyway to get around the endpoint security.

Well when the Democrats were in their darkest hour, democracy in the US was on the brink, Congress was on the verge of falling to raging mobs, etc, etc and they faced their greatest political bogyman in the last few decades ... they put forward Joseph Biden as their best hope of defeating Trump.

With benefit of hindsight now that we have a few years of opinion polling, we might suspect that he isn't actually the best that the party could come up with, and that there are a number of much better candidates who are choosing not to run. He is wildly unpopular and would basically only beat the previous generally-unliked president Trump.

I don't think that is normal. We've had 2 electoral cycles now where only unelectable candidates stood up. As recently as 2007 we had the likes of Obama, and before that Clinton (who say what you will, had approval polling that trended in the right direction) out of the Democrats. And Bush was popular until the chickens came home to roost on the horrific foreign policy blunders.

So we can detect that something has gone wrong in the last few electoral cycles where either the quality of the candidates has declined or the visibility into what the government is actually doing has improved. I argue both, but today I'm focusing on the former.
