So it's just straight up a normal middle class income. Except wage suppression and expectation-lowering propaganda has been so effective it now feels like a lot.

Propaganda, I will point out, like exactly like this headline. "170k!" you are encouraged to think. "I don't even make that much, and I deserve it. This affects me negatively somehow" you are expected to believe.

Good propaganda is as true as possible, ideally unimpeachably so.
The new feature (and underlying HAL) both explicitly allow the radio to ignore restrictions on network types when making emergency calls, so this is not the distinction being drawn.

There is also nothing the OS can do to shut down 2G in most cases; the best it can do is ask nicely that the baseband does not use it. So the "shut it all down" theory is also not correct.

Heard of them, and you're right about subscriptions to a degree and you're right about corporate ownership to a degree.

I say to a degree vecause there are some distinct differences. At least in my neck of the woods, major newspapers were owned at a national level. Some of the stories came from international corporations (e.g. AP), but what was published tended to be local editorial decisions. You also got the same news as everyone else who subscribed to or purchased single copies of the paper.

Contrast that to online news through social media sites. Chances are the editorial decisions are made in a different country, and there may not even be direct human intervention in choosing what you (as an individual) sees.

> humans generally can't see a small dog directly in front of the car

Sure, but they have extensive hardware and data for social cognition. So they could well see a person with a leash running after an out-of-sight dog and infer the dog. They could see a person waving at them to stop because a of a dog. They could hear the dog barking. They could have seen the dog 30 seconds ago and said, "Hey, where did that dog get to?" They could see the dogs in the park and slow down to keep a closer eye out. They could do all manner of things that are well beyond the reach of modern technology.

And I'll note you conveniently skipped over the case where car companies just skipped over worrying about the dog at all because it allowed them to "increase shareholder value".

I'm assuming you threw this together very quickly in order to see if there was interest, which is great.

However, it's a landing page builder, and your own landing page isn't exactly compelling.

It is so easy to build a simple landing page on squarespace, wix, canva (I think), etc.

Note that half of those submissions were flagged to death. I don't doubt that there are some legitimate stories here, but one of those is a repeated repost with verbatim content from months earlier, and others are very vague about what sort of business they were running. It's become common knowledge that making a big stink on HN can get a lot of attention and sometimes resolve your problems, so even people who were shut down for clear violations of policy or law will try to use HN to get a mob going.

Not that there aren't legitimate problems with Stripe, but the extent of those problems is blown out of proportion if you take all of these complaints at face value.

Awesome stuff, I really hope others follow suit.
Gatun lake is man made. There was no lake as such prior to the building of the canal. There also weren’t a lot of people living in the area of what is now Gatun lake. Between Colon and Panama City was very sparsely populated.

Systemd is part of it, I flat out just don't use systemd unless I'm forced to, but there are other reasons.

At best Arch is something like "Gentoo with training wheels", but I see it more like "Ubuntu Minimal but different". I mean its whole marketing thing is "OMG Arch is super duper customizable, make your own choices!!!", but it falls short of Gentoo in that regard.

To me it seems like it's made specifically for the r/unixporn crowd; people who just want to customize the look of the OS and specific programs without much regard for the underlying things.

>To prevent ad fraud either you need to increase the fingerprintablity of users on the web, violating people's privacy, or implemented a form of remote attestation, which protects people's privacy.

>If EFF cares no much about privacy on the web they should be in favor of this proposal.

Privacy on the web by implementing remote attestation across the web will inevitably in practice reduce digital rights and user control/freedom. The EFF also cares a lot about this, so it makes sense that they would be against the proposal. Both of these goals could be achieved by websites providing the same behavior regardless of the client browser/software that is requesting pages. The reason we have to lie is because user-hostile businesses/sites don't want to adhere to this (advertising, DRM). (ignoring useful things like providing a mobile version of a site)

To note, fingerprinting is always going to be technically possible (especially given the larger and larger feature scope that businesses have wanted to impose upon the web since its inception), WEI is just an attempt to stop ad-driven sites from trying to do it.
This is my intuition as well.

Hopefully the controversy doesn't cloud researcher's judgement and cause us to miss out on the technology just because it was way more nuanced than first appeared.

It might also be that everyone loses interest and the original team get the extra time they needed to work in peace and make a comeback.

There may well be security issues at openAI, but I am confident this is not an example of one.

So much this.

I'd hesitate to even call them adjacent.

Compliance is nothing more than a set of checkboxes. It won't stop your developers from writing `sql.query("select * from users where username = '" + username + "'`.
I dabble in this space (hardware reverse-engineering) and write software for a living and in my opinion the gaps are huge.

I should disclose have been paid by a chip-maker for a blog post that I wrote which "disclosed" an optimization which could be uses for a side channel attack (though I did not even suggest that aspect) and which was subsequently patched away via a microcode update. The whole process was very surprising to me in that there must have been several people inside the chip-maker who knew about the optimization I described in much deeper detail ... after all they conceived and implemented it.

So by what path does a blog post mentioning it get treated as the disclosure that results it it being removed when they knew about it all along?

> that's not how these attacks work it's by some oversight in memory handling not that different from software.

I think it is very different. Assembly is merely a somewhat less convenient form of the original semantics that embeds all the relevant semantics related to the attack surface since the original source has been "erased". Many analysis tools such as fuzzers operate directly on assembly with little loss in functionality.

These attacks are against completely unspecified aspects of the instruction execution and lean heavily on the actual hardware implementation (almost at the level of "how the transistors are laid out") such as what hidden buffers are used, when they are filled, how they are shared with sibling threads, etc.

In my experience there are very few people interested in these details outside of the vendors themselves and these folks and the ones creating the exploits would fit in a modestly sized lecture hall. The scope has increased a bit lately (see Tavis's fuzzer work) but it was originally a small group with little or no funding.

This would only work if using "content" for training is not fair use, or if updating model weights through exposure to content is governed by copyright. For something published on the internet, there's no indication either of those is true.

Sent the Monty Hall one verbatim to OpenOrca for the lulz and man these are some olympic gold winning mental gymnastics:

> You initially choose door number one, because you want the car and can see it behind that door.

> Monty Hall opens door number two (which has a goat) and shows that there are no more goats left. Since you already saw what was behind door number one, this doesn't change anything about your initial choice of doors.

> The fact that door number two is opened does not affect the probability of the car being behind either door number one or three (since both have been hidden from Monty Hall). However, it does give you new information: since there are no more goats left to be found and only one door can hide a car, the other remaining door must contain the car.

> Therefore, with this new information, your best option is to switch doors and choose door number three, as that's where the car must now be located given what you know about Monty Hall's choices.

> It is important to remember that the car cannot magically move between doors after being seen or hidden; it always remains in its original position behind one of the doors. The information provided by Monty Hall simply helps you make a more informed decision based on your initial choice.

I love these open source models, they're an endless source of hilarity. Not much use for anything else though :P
You don't need 3 control planes. If your control plane will be down for some time, your cluster will be OK. Even if your control plane will be down for prolonged time, your small cluster likely will survive. 3 control planes is good, but if you can't afford it, it's not necessary. Just make sure to backup etcd and keys for your control plane and learn how to recover it in case of hardware failure.

Kubernetes does not require storage cluster. If you need it, you can run it. But it's not required.

Please think about your arguments when comparing kubernetes with any other solution. If you don't need storage cluster with any other solution, then you don't need it with kubernetes.

Kubernetes at its minimum is 3GB RAM and 0.5 CPU for one control plane. That's all you need. Everything extra is not necessary.

People often try to build some kind of super-resilient cluster with kubernetes, which is suitable for huge company with hundreds of servers, while comparing it with one host docker compose. If your task is simple, don't make it more complex than necessary. Kubernetes can be simple or it can be complex, it depends on you.

What you do need for kubernetes is knowledge and experience. I spent several months tinkering with cluster before I dared to deploy something valuable there. Although I used kubeadm, with cloud offering few things are simpler.
Perhaps the solution is as simple as invest in more electric generating capacity in Panama. At 8 degrees off the equator, solar is plentiful. One could use lake Gatun for pumped hydro storage as well.

Basically, HTTP is the envelope.

Ethernet > IP > TCP > HTTP > My application

HTTP is a hyper text transfer protocol, designed as such. My application is a RPC front-end for a series of data stores, AI models, etc.

Using HTTP codes for your application's protocol is a mismatch. There are some fairly general-purpose HTTP error codes that can meet many application's use cases, but the overlap is not perfect. You can get greater granularity by ignoring it entirely.

Going HTTP 200-only means any non-200 is now definitively from 3rd party middleware, a router, proxy, etc. The boolean check of "did I hit my application code?" is easy and useful.

> superfluid DM proposed

Justin Khoury's version is a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of axion-like particles. The BEC forms a halo and is fluid, like a gas, in most of the halo. In the halo's central regions the BEC undergoes a phase change and becomes superfluid, and in that region interactions with baryons are produced which bubble up to the thin nonsuperfluid phase, where they interact with baryons again as a "fifth force" where one would want to understand that as viscosity. Viscosity vanishes in a superfluid. Here the idea is that the superfluid phase does not interact much with baryons except to generate vortex-like ring-perturbations which rise (and I think magnify) from the core, where the sticky-viscosity of the non-superfluid phase deposits energy into baryons, with a bias driven by galaxy's bulk angular momentum (the kicks being more in the direction of rotation and radially outward, generating the flat velocity curve). It's very much a particle dark matter theory, and a somewhat complicated one. It shows that a more than one particle dark matter theory can reproduce empirical results from MOND. And yes, as with any field theory, one would want to take a Hamiltonian approach and consider the dynamic canonical variables (x, p) [position, momentum], so you will need to specify all (x, p) at some time t, and because that's intractable, one coarse-grains.

Axions have yet to be directly detected in astronomical or laboratory settings, and nobody knows how they behave at ultracold temperatures and ultrasparse densities. Do they even BEC?

However, if they did exist and have the properties to form a Bose gas etc etc, and their cosmological participation isn't forbidden by higher-energy completions of the standard model, then there is a nice property here: it's just relativistic quantum fields on curved spacetime. Relativity (specifically in the sense that we can relate physical coincidences in arbitrary systems of coordinates) is baked in from the start. And you would get the empirical MOND relation in galaxy dynamics. But it's certianly not a MONDian theory in spirit. There is no modified gravity to be seen here.
Cancer colonies self-sustain and self-replicate, causing local success, then kill the host without escaping it, causing colony failure and do not successfully become a new species of independent pathogen. Local optimization causes disaster at a larger scale, causing the system to collapse.

Nothing intelligent is happening. Zero-foresight self-amplifying systems that will inevitably crash out will simply amplify themselves to that point, then cease. Applications to areas outside of oncology are an exercise for the reader.
hmm, as a person of low technical savvy, do you expect there will be a point at which I can upload a large text file and have you do all the work to let me chat with it? I'd pay for that today if it exists, but can't put a ton of effort into building/implementing something myself.
Were there really a sufficient number of lessons learned during the course of construction that there’s any reason to think that a new AP1000 or unit of similar scale will be constructed anywhere else in the United States? I cannot imagine the industrial base or institutional knowledge is better in 2023 than, say, 10 years ago was when at least Vogtle, Summer and Watts Bar were all under construction.

Maybe there’s a future for modular reactors or some other design, but Vogtle seems like a dead end.

Completely accurate, particularly around the "don't tell them it's an 8051" clones.

I have a friend that used to reverse engineers all sorts of embedded black box products and he's said "when there's no markings or other clues, assume it's some kind of 8051 and see where you get". That might not be as true these days with ubiquitous ARMs and sub 10 cent Chinese/Taiwanese microcontrollers (many apparently PIC12 knockoffs[1]), but it apparently worked for a long time.

Right, but we were talking about the energy embodied in manufacturing a processor. It should be obvious that the price of the processor includes the cost of the energy needed to manufacture it, and therefore there is a clear cap on how much extra energy a processor can consume before it would be obviously better to get a more modern and efficient processor.
It sounds like you're being expected to, so yes.

Prior to the handover of the Canal there weren’t any issues with water during rainy season. But Panama City has ballooned in population and the ships going through the canal now are bigger on average. We Americans kept people out of the drainage system for Gatun Lake. We left the jungle alone. I don’t know if there has been a destruction of the jungle around Gatun Lake.

It’s not just cultural and it’s hinted at in the second part of your comment. Lack of regulation in employment means you’re penalised financially for staying in one job. Most employees have little say in their pay and conditions.

Employees wages are rarely commensurate with the value they provide to a firm.
