"External Clients" on OSX Wireguard.

[More Info]

The use case that we have is when we need access an Akami Network through a whitelisted IP during development.

Our AWS networks have a Priv Subnet w/ a static IP NAT and a Public Subnet, both prod and staging.

Since wanted our all our local machine's traffic to go through the AWS NAT we hoped for: Local -> Bastion EC2 (Public Subnet) -> EC2 (Private Subnet) -> NAT -> Internet.

So to get setup, we tested: Local -> Bastion EC2 (Public Subnet) -> Internet. When we set the Bastion EC2 to have Egress of 0.0.0.0 the Wireguard's Handshake would never complete, just hang.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide.
This is going to sound pretty damn weird, but the last couple of places where I though tape backups would have been the right plan, we had people who saw the tape industry as a bit untrustworthy. Not the tapes, but the industry.

It took me a while to find out why, but the whole tape storage size not being their actual size has left a long shadow.

It is amazing that something so small can leave such a large bad taste in people's mouths for so long.

so the question becomes whether it's harder to improve CO2 capture, or to make transporting and using hydrogen (ala, build out new or improve existing pipes, machines etc).

I would imagine that improving CO2 capture is "easier", because it requires fewer people to cooperate. Existing infrastructure replacement/improvements will need large numbers of people to agree on what, who and how. And you know how that goes...
I've considered at various points (but not with deep seriousness I admit), typescript, julia, scala, swift. You might notice all of these have a REPL in common. Elixir might be a reasonable alternative, but not one I exercised here. In areas I wanted to take risk, I had some other stuff going on.
The issue is how departments are structured. Generally, every grad student is paid by a grant or fellowship of some sorts. However, how that actually works out varies a lot by discipline.

In STEM, well, really hard science, engineering, and CS, you and your advisor are tightly coupled. PhD students do the bulk of the hard work, while the advisor acts as some combination of directing long-term research thrusts, managing the capabilities of the lab (both in terms of human and equipment), and a veteran with expertise that can chip in when they have time. How that balance shakes out depends on the advisor, field, and group members, but they often do some amount of each in order of appearance. Most PhD students I have known are thus funded through grants their advisor wrote with little to no involvement from students directly (the second most common source is those funded through a few programs like the NSF GRFP, but in the cases I know, their advisor had money lined up for them in the event they weren’t awarded the grant). The application and reward both break down funding in terms of students, equipment, discretionary funds, etc., and are often large enough to fund multiple students. Even if a professor didn’t write much of an article or do the bench work, their name goes on there for guiding the overall project and procuring the funds (and hopefully at least giving revisions on manuscript drafts).

Very big schools (e.g., some in California) have high drop out rates because they admit more students than professors can fund and the weaker ones get cut because they can’t find an advisor to take them after their first year or two. Smaller schools tend to have professors more involved up front and admit students only if at least one professor is interested in them joining their group, so the filtering happens much earlier.

In the humanities and, from what I’ve heard by friends in the social sciences the dynamic is very different. Your “advisor” and you interact very infrequently because there is no research group being run. They might give you some high level advice but that’s it unless you seek more out. Your money, then, needs to come from an external fellowship to which you applied or a departmental fellowship. I know at least one department whose students are all funded via the interest on a massive donation made decades ago for this explicit purpose (but only for students in that department, the money can’t be used elsewhere). For those students in that prestigious department, life is easy. For students at famous schools, the department often has more fellowship funding and they are more competitive when seeking external grants For students at less famous places, resources are scarce.

It's more efficient to burn hydrogen (or methane) in a combined cycle plant and use that power to drive heat pumps in homes and businesses, than it would be to burn that fuel in furnaces there. As an added bonus, you can often drive those heat pumps directly from renewable sources without the conversion cost of electrolysis (and for methane, DAC and methane synthesis.)

Methane also has the probably unavoidable problem of leaks in the distribution network. It's a strong greenhouse gas; even small leaks are very problematic.
Those Korean researchers who consistently refused to share samples now has the moral obligation to come out and explain what is really going on.

I call it corruption - if you claim you have the sample that is a room temp supercondutor and you want the attention of the research community, how about just get some 3rd party to access your bloody sample? what we got was excuses after excuses.

I agree it is not ironclad, but it jives with both my anecdotal experience and also most of the stats I can find.

> Not to mention that in general, STEM grad students tend to be vastly better funded in school than humanities grad students

Which is my precise point? And irrelevant to lethe familial background of PhDs

> All of your examples are situations where violence has already occurred, not preemptive.

Incorrect. One of my examples was "An officer, for example, may get end up getting into a fight with someone being arrested for conspiring to commit murder." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37145828

Is dumping poison into the town's water supply, knowing it will kill plants, animals, and people, an act of violence?

If it is violence, it's acceptable to use violence to prevent that act, correct?

If it isn't violence, suppose a staff member see someone about to do that. May that person use violence to prevent the act from happening?

May a police officer?

If not, and it's too late to try any other options, is it really logical to avoid preemptive violence in order to save lives?

Next, re-run the example with someone actually pouring poison into the town's water system, but it will take a day before the first people are affected, and a week until the toxic effects start killing people.

When is it acceptable to use violent methods to stop the poisoner? In 23 hours? In 6.9 days? Or right now?

Or is that enough that that we can should avoid violence and instead, say, install water filtering systems in everyone's sink and make everyone pay for new filters each month?

Look into the formal verification community, where PSPACE-complete is "easy" and undecidable is normal.
IIRC there are water cooled cables that can do 350kW, the charging is generally done at pretty high voltages so you "only" need like 50 amps or something totally reasonable. Obviously the power delivery to a station simultaneously charging 10 of these would be challenging, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility.
Feel free to shoot, I can do the best that I can.

W.r.t. the weight updates, ah, but it is extremely chaotic, your intuition is correct I feel! :) :D It took me a lot of years to figure that out though, so good job on that one. We've just adapted our architectures to clamp down on those extra degrees of freedom and break that chained dependency from layer to layer. For example, how residuals softly 'force' a single, defined latent space for each group of layers that adds into a residual, how batchnorm tends to re-center and scale the data to prevent a statistical explosion -- decoupling it from learned scale and bias. How label smoothing basically can be viewed as an interpolation between raw cross entropy and predicting a uniform distribution every time -- what do you think that does to the internal sensitivity of the network? It's a great, label-free way to explicitly train for stability. If you look at the expected value of the magnitudes of cross entropy for output distributions of different entropies, you'll quickly see why an entropy-regulated loss greatly slows down the popcorn-bag of changing kernels (heh) to a dull mumble. Heavy ball momentum prevents a lot of oscillation because it smooths out our gradient updates over time -- surprisingly effective! And of course LR schedules like OneCycle that do a kind of LR annealing are very effective as well.

There's many, many, many more little things that go into that, and I think it took a few decades for us to find a lot of those things! We could go back 20 years with the ideological innovations that we've found and even on the constrained compute would be leagues ahead of what was available at the time, as a result.

Another cool effect is how the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis shows that with rolling enough 'tickets', one can find weights suitably close to a decent representation from the start -- and much of the training is just tuning, and potentially suppressing the noise from more poor initializations. That still somewhat goes over my head but it is a cool hypothesis indeed.

I'm not sure if that's a good teaser response or not, but I'm happy to talk at length about certain things. :)))) <3 <3 <3 :D
book 2 (the dark forest) is probably my favorite piece of scifi of all time! stick with the series if you like it. there is also a canon 4th book written by a different author that puts a really nice bow on the series.

There is no simple lab test for CFS, and there are no miracle treatments, but it can be diagnosed, and some of the symptoms can be treated.

For diagnosis, there are clear diagnostic criteria, including the presence of post-exertional malaise, which is very easy to recognize simply by talking to the patient. (“I went grocery shopping last week, and I didn’t think I’d overdone it, because I felt okay that afternoon, and I had a full night’s sleep, but I woke up the next day feeling terrible and I could hardly get out of bed all day.”) There is a lab test that can be done for it, but it essentially consists of making the patient “crash” by exercising two days in a row and observing how much worse they are the second day. It’s not recommended for diagnosis because it’s harmful (it can take months to recover from a bad crash) and, again, not necessary.

For treatment, there are a few supplements and prescription drugs that can help each of the symptoms. Many patients experience dysautonomia (it’s in the diagnostic criteria) and there are several treatment options for that (beta blockers, drugs to raise blood pressure, drugs to encourage sodium retention, and others, in addition to non-pharmaceutical options like increasing salt and water intake). The fatigue itself is harder to treat, but a few supplements have been found to help. Cognitive dysfunction is a major problem that is definitely treatable (with ADHD and dementia drugs); that alone is enough reason to get diagnosed and treated.

Again, I don't think that's clear at all from your marketing pages. It ends with "The end result of all of this is more emails and messages and a harder time discerning what's significant."

It isn't clear to me if this is targeted to the business owner or the 3rd party firm. Working at a startup, I want to make choices quickly, but this seems to further obscure the relationship and deal.

It's different now with Windows 11. Regular right click brings up a new metro-style simplified menu. Shift+Righr click brings up the classic right menu with the full menu. The new menu has maybe 7 items while the old is at 20+.

I believe the new system was an attempt to get rid of all the cruft that has accumulated into the right click menu over the years. Notably it does not show any actions added by third party programs or file extension handlers.
I specifically went with a battery model because I was not convinced that the battery in the solar models would actually last that much longer than the battery only model. While you can replace the battery in the solar models it is a proprietary part and considered watchmaker level service, while with the battery model it is normal service with a generic part. So I decided that replacing a battery every 5 years would not actually be that bad compared to trying to find a proprietary part every 10 years(A guess based on forum posts, so worthless).

All of which is a false economy. As I buy what is actually a cheap mass production watch as if it were some sort of heirloom piece that I will be passing down to my grand children. Anyhow, whats the point of being a geek if you can't overthink things sometimes?
I don't use the XDG directories (I deleted most of them, and I created many of my own directories). However, sometimes I do override HOME for some programs in some circumstances; for example, I have made up a separate home directory for configuration files for pinball games so that I can use separate configuration for pinball games in the Game Boy (and Game Boy Advance) emulator. This would also be possible with other programs, even if they do use XDG.

An example: My own "Free Hero Mesh" software can be made to find its files in the same directory as the program file, but by default it is compiled to not do that if it is in your PATH. It will first look at the HEROMESH_PREFIX environment variable; if that is not set, then HOME will be used instead. (You can still override it with command-line switches, and by doing what I mentioned above. You can also configure it at compile time.) However, the only file it creates itself automatically is one that the other file (which you must manually create) can optionally override its path, so you should not need to worry about automatically created files in your home directory. (I do not currently target multiple operating systems. Others are free to try to port it if you want to do so (and I can answer any questions), but I do not expect to do it by myself.)

In fact, I too would want it; if I want a configuration file I should just create it by myself; this is how X resource manager is working and I think that is good. Unfortunately some programs insist to do it automatically themself anyways; in those cases I change the permissions of those files so that they are read-only so that the program doesn't automatically update the configuration file in this way (for example, this is the case with xdvi).
The last impactful one on me was Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber.

Definitely disrupted my perspective on work and the monotonous, sometimes futile, insanity that some of us subject ourselves to in order to make a living.
i don't understand the point of this criticism - i swear people just post it because they don't know what the thing is and they feel they need to compulsively comment anyway.

no one stumbles on this repo by accident (jeremy didn't post it here). the only way you find it is you google "mlir tutorial" ie you know what MLIR is and you're actively explicitly looking for a tut. there is no situation where you're ambushed by this content.

like if i write a tutorial "integration by parts for beginners" but don't define integration are you gonna claim that it fails at being for beginners? does every title from now on need to explicitly have "... for beginners who know what this is and have already made the decision to start studying".
No. The bootcamp is very new. I have previously taken graduate courses on the subject and now I'm taking some online courses to avoid getting rusty, as I don't work in an ML position. I'm about to start studying, and tinkering with, LLMs.
> entirely on the infra/business process side of things

Considering most of the major incidents over the last few years fall into these categories, it makes sense.
It’s a long video but very interesting. Dolly Parton makes an appearance!
Thanks! I struggled with the same problems. Existing search tools make it difficult to discover high-quality restaurants (either via poor UI, lack of granular filters, or low quality content). I'd be curious to hear if you have a better solution to filter/gather reviews.
The book, like in almost all cases, is so much better than then the movie.

Eg: she doesn’t travel alone. Think about what that does to the plot.
From what I remember:

NP: Finding the solution takes more than polynomial time, but you can verify the answer is correct in polynomial time.

NP-Hard: Finding the solution takes more than polynomial time, and it also takes more than polynomial time to verify that the solution is correct.

NP-Complete: NP-Hard, but it can be transformed into any other NP-Complete problem in polynomial time. This is special because it means if you find a solution for any NP-Complete problem, you have found a solution for all of them. Finding an NP-Complete solution always seemed rather rather optimistic to me, but computer science professors obsessed over these problems.

Caveat: It has been more than 20 years since I was quizzed on this stuff, so it might be wrong.
I think it's a bit of a grey area, you can't patent abstract things like rules of a game, but a game engine makes that a little less abstract and turns it into an implementation.

For example, Magic: The Gathering has a patent here on the gameplay process: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5662332A/en
People are still randomly hiding USB drives after a decade!
So glad to hear that! After building the V1, I was similarly surprised by how many new restaurants I was able to instantly discover. Even found a few spots which I'm tempted to travel for.

So is breaking into someone's house, but that doesn't seem to he an issue for the courts.

When the court system fails you, I believe you have a right to take matters into your own hands. The court system is created so that we don't start feuds, harm people above and beyond what's reasonable response to their action, prevent abuses. It's here to protect us so that we don't have to violently protect ourselves. When it fails to do so, what choice do you have? The court is an institution of civilization, when it fails we go back to the natural way.
>what LMG is doing with their Labs setup is pretty cool

buying expensive measurement hardware and then saying he cant, and I quote directly, "spending another $100, $200, $300, or even $500 of several employees” time' to do proper testing? yeah that sounds pretty cool

>The one thing that really jumped out for me is how they mentioned that every mistake results in improved process to help prevent it from happening again.

funny, because just yesterday Linus posted that they _wont change a thing_. What you watched today was pure C level PR damage control. Also those errors arent from few recent videos, they have been doing it for years but you somehow buy "every mistake results in improved process" line because video was well produced?
Or The Opoponax Invasion.

This is one of my favourite sci-fi books.
I have an Oculus/Meta Quest, I don't use it much though but I used the app mentioned "Supernatural", which right off the bat sounds better than the app the journalist used (protecting a crystal).

Supernatural at least has a few different types of workouts, locations, instructors, etc.

But even that aside, having a Quest headset means so many other fitness games like Thrill of the Fight.

This just doesn't seem like the right application of VR. Having to go in physically is almost a spit-take for a VR gym. I wish them the best though.

These are great books for removing mental fog, confusion, about the nature of our existence. They have great healing value, allowing us to integrate the world around and within us. They can also help in dealing with practical challenges in how we run organisations, develop teams, and in general help people cooperate together. It is a kind of "red pill" to enter the matrix :)

Not really. I got a ticket from a red light camera because I stopped literally inches past a thick white line that marks the end of the intersection. But this was at least three feet from the crosswalk. There was zero chance anyone could have been hurt my behavior.

The camera is not discerning in the slightest.

Fortunately the judge agreed and tossed my ticket, but I doubt many people go through the effort to contest them.
I really like seeing articles or papers that describe the current advances and open challenges in a sub-field (such as [0]). They're underappreciated, but good practice or reading for folks wanting to get in the field. They're also worthwhile and humbling to look back at every few years: did we get the challenges right? How well did we understand the problem at the time?

Probably because we set the baseline at alcohol—if alcohol is legal, then society is willing to tolerate the harms that come from it (along with the inertia of it being such a widely-consumed drug for thousands of years). If we can tolerate the harms from alcohol, why can't we tolerate the (much lower) harms from cannabis?
