I have a murder of cats. 5.5 - 6 depending on the neediness of the previously homed feral. The semi-feral loves wet food in all forms.

The other five they are gung ho for wet food one day, meh the next. Thankfully, given there are 5 they don't cycle at the same time. But they do have preferences towards real food texture (shredded chicken for instance) over pate or similar.

I'll have to test the tuna thing out.

You're probably already aware, but SOPS¹ kinda fits the bill for integration here perfectly.

It supports local secrets as well as encryption via keys stored with all the big cloud providers, and it's already battle-tested as it is used heavily at Mozilla (it comes from there).

Additionally, like OpenTF, SOPS is maintained independently of any single corporation, written in Go, and distributed under the MPL-2.0 license. On its face, it seems like a match made in heaven.

SOPS is a great tool and could be a pretty killer starting point for this stuff!

I liked stackpath cdn as an alternative to cloudflare. Years ago I used incapsula which was bought out and the renewal rates were much higher. I looked into fastly which had no prices listed which I dislike and stackpath I could spin up on my own with the price there. I guess the writing was on the wall as live chat was discontinued with stackpath and they never were able to resolve being blocked in China which cloudflare has no issues with. I have no issues with cloudflare but have wanted a second alternative in case they are down. I still use stackpath dns and waf but their email makes it seem like they really want to focus on vps and edge cloud not cdn, waf - essentially all their purchases in the last 10 years. I am not confident the waf will be discontinued going forward.

> I suppose if you want them to eat regularly without bringing them in your home, taking them to vet to get fixed before releasing them back outside works just as well at keeping populations down.

If by "get fixed" you mean to neuter them then maybe. But most people who feed feral dogs/cats are just feeding them because... because they want, or their gut feeling says it's the right thing to do.

I'm not saying if you feed wild cats you're literally Satan. But feeding wild animals needs responsibility. Actually it takes MORE responsibility than just having a house pet, because now your actions are affecting multiple lives instead of one.
I tried that, but the Surface was a bad iPad and a bad laptop, at least for my needs.
Mine also doesn’t like tuna. All she’s interested in is Walmart brand shredded cheese and also the plastic.
Once you've learned what you can from online resources and textbooks, doing projects -- from Kaggle, etc. -- is a good way to practice applying what you've learned.
We are absolutely moving towards a more fractured world with regional centers of power. Frankly it's hard to imagine what would re-consolidate power. Probably something terrible. Last time that was the widespread destruction of the industrialized world (save the USA) and a long, protracted nuclear standoff that the United States won through economic diplomacy and security guarantees.
If you read the Wikipedia article you’d know that the earthquake didn’t cause the meltdown specifically. Not even the tsunami itself did.
Backlinks matter a lot. Say I wanted to rank first for "Court dress".

Having backlinks from NYT, Washington Post and Wikipedia for the term is 1000x more valuable than just hitting all the technical SEO metrics of fast page loading and meta tags.

Backlinks matter so much that many authoritative sites sell them. Of course, they won't admit to that for obvious reasons.
Apologies for the bluntness, but this is just extremely naive.

The bank, at its discretion or under order by government, can and will prevent the transfer of funds, so it's really just a case of Murphy's law.

I don't know why there has to be appeal to "fetish fantasies". Is it so hard for you to imagine a scenario where you or others might unjustly be the target of nefarious actions by public or private parties who would wield the bureaucracy of banking system against you? This isn't a hypothetical, one of things opposing counsel does in a lawsuit involving money is to attempt to freeze or restrict your accounts.

You may have never been in a situation where a bank prevents you from moving money, but it happens, and the worldview you are espousing doesn't survive first contact with such a situation.

But you don't have to take my word for it. There's a reason the market for gold ingots exists, and it isn't just to guard against inflation.
Retirement money has to be invested somewhere, otherwise it’s simply not available when people retire. Just because it’s someone else’s responsibility to fulfill a promise doesn’t change that intrinsic fact. You can’t just store production efficiently in a silo, or store money under your bed and expect that work out.
Of course they would. It’s called saving face.

They got lucky, choosing a niche language and a massive amount of tech debt as their primary technology stack.

But in the end, Cloudflare is one company. Who gives a what they did?
I'm fully bought into the Apple ecosystem, but one of the most useful pieces of tech I own is a device that turns my car's touch screen into an unrestricted Android tablet (ironically, using the Apple CarPlay protocol to interface)
Something which I think I in my "western ignorance" underestimated is the massive amount of soft power Japan wields through its economy and culture in East/South Asia. Possibly because Japanese culture mainly reached geeks such as myself in Europe.

All the way down to Oceania and even the most nationalistic PRC national, every single one of them that I know have experienced Japanese manga and anime since childhood in the same way that Disney had a reach across "The West". Heck, look at today's "geek culture" in the PRC and tell me that you do not see the obvious parallels to Japan.
I'm not sure what they mean by that. But one case where terraform's model doesn't work very well, is updating a certificate on a load balancer (to be concrete, say an ACM certificate attached to an NLB in AWS) to a new cert and remove the old one. The proper way to do that, without service interruption is the following:

1. Create new certificate

2. Update the certificate attached to the load balancer

3. Delete old certificate

But it isn't actually possible to do that in that order with terraform because of how dependencies work.

By default what terraform will try to do is:

1. Delete old certificate. this will either fail, because the certificate is in use (as is the case in AWS) or destroy a resource that is still in use and cause the load balancer to enter a bad state

2. Create new certificate

3. Update the load balancer

The only ways I have found to work around this is with targeted applies (which are discouraged), or splitting the change up into multiple code changes, with separate applies for each change.
I doubt it's about COVID now. The government has really ruined China's "brand" internationally.

1. You need an onerous-to-obtain visa to visit. There is no visa exemption.

2. Banking is a total pain for a foreigner. Many places only accept Alipay or Wechat, which require a Chinese bank account. Cash doesn't work well either, because the largest denomination is tiny.

3. Many US-China flights were canceled in the pandemic and never restarted afterwards. As a result, flights to China are expensive.

4. The Western apps are commonly blocked in China, and the local apps don't have an English translation. Your smartphone is a lot less useful in China.

5. Many US employers ban their employees from bringing company equipment (laptops) into China for fear of corporate espionage.

6. Lots of reports of hostile behavior toward westerners...

The list could go on. There's a reason e.g. Japanese tourism is booming!
> The 2016 Minsk agreement included Donbas vote on their own self-sovereignty. Zelensky won't allow the vote, and is restricting religious practices there.

Minsk II failed to implement because the “separatists” (ie Russian soldiers outside uniform) did not obey the ceasefire and neither did some of the Ukrainian battalions.

We all know that Minsk II was never gonna last though.
This is always on a case-by-case basis. Just because THIS particular person can't work everything on an iPad doesn't mean EVERYONE is the same.

My mother-in-law, for instance, does everything from an iPad. She doesn't own a computer anymore. She does her emails, bills, spreadsheets, printing, reading...etc etc...from her iPad. She has a keyboard she can hook up to it to write long things, and then puts it away when she doesn't need it.

Could I work like this? No. But again, this doesn't mean everyone is like me. It all has to be taken case-by-case. I would suspect that the vast majority of readers to Hacker News can't work like this either, nor could they think of why anyone would want to...so confirmation bias kicks in big time.
'If the "things showing up on MRIs that currently require a biopsy" don't actually pass cost-benefit analysis on their own,'

So if we can't tell if it's malignant or not, you're saying we should start cancer treatment just in case? It's not a question of "tech that's stale" or "an ossified system" - it's a question of not being able to tell all malignant and benign cells apart until you look at them under a microscope.

The last thing that space needs is a bunch of uninformed tech folks going "I don't know, let the market solve it, tech is great". I really recommend getting at least a basic education on the subject.

The problem is that a measure became a target. Most companies with a significant internet presence and a "cybersecurity" division have a policy of patching all CVEs. They can't understand vulnerabilities, there are too many and it's too hard, so the policy is to buy products that scan for software versions with known CVEs, and require other teams to patch/upgrade them. This is how most of the industry works now.

So of course there is now huge motivation to get these CVE things, inflate them, never under-grade them, just in case ... so of course CVEs are becoming more noisy and useless, and many orgs (including my company) are now moving to EPSS. Just give it a few years though, this EPSS will probably degrade just like CVE as it becomes widely embedded in enterprise security processes.

Perfect list. Sums it up completely
It's important to frame this correctly.
The article is a bit misguided (it doesn't matter which university publishes an article) because there are so many ways in which a model can be altered, even excluding retraining weights. Also, even if the performance has dropped practically due to removing some resources for more shortcuts to be taken (for example changing beam search and typical sampling parameters), making implications about the outlook for the future is not really appropriate, since retraining weights, changing architecture, etc can improve capabilities immensely.

It's important not to suggest that GPT systems in general are on the way outside.ply due to some small alterations in parameters that make a system slightly less performant (which seems to be a popular perspective).

A BSL-based product would have to be very important to me to make it worth for me to dedicate time to it.

In reality, the usefulness of the product and friendliness towards developers is much more important.
>also the plastic.

I never got cats and plastic love relationship (maybe OP study should be about this), previous cat we had, it enjoyed chewing on any wires, electric ones or not, but his best ones were the headphones wires, damaged so many ones after it chewed on it, you can’t hide them either since you are using it daily. The other cat loves eating plastic wraps too, any kind, as long as it’s plastic, it’s fantastic.

After trying the iPad for this, I discovered a 12" Macbook is a real option to consider either as a secondary or mobile laptop. It allowed much quicker on/off usage, and for longer sessions it was really serviceable. The 2017 model in particular is one of interest.

Instant on, a full and normal keyboard. An i7 with 16 gb of ram is still serviceable for cloud type work (or some local). Perfect for travel, planes, cars, trains, hotels. Easy to remote into a Mac Studio if needed too.

The new iPad keyboard is nice, but there's still a lot more disney magical gesturing than a keyboard alone allows. Touch is slower, and the iPad keyboard is slower to type on than a laptop keyboard. The horsepower the iPad has is great, though. An iPad makes a great second monitor off the 12" Macbook, too.

My assumption as an ignorant person who happens to live with cats is this: tuna contains a lot of the good things cats evolved eating but in a different form. Humans have this same issue. Tuna became something cats like because they were already wired to like the nutrients in the tuna from other sources.
I'm not an economist, but it seems like the multi-trillion Trump stimulus had the exact effect (high inflation) that people were afraid of in 2008-2010.

I'm even inclined to agree with you: inflation is better and healthier than the financial gimmickry we did in 2008-2010. But the pushback to that seems to be much broader than "Republicans." Biden's approval rating on the economy is at 36%, and it's just 52% among Democrats 18-44. Americans seem to really hate inflation.
I’m not defending searches, but it’s certainly stopped people entering the US to work illegally.

I had my "single device for everything" experience with the original Galaxy Note. I would plug in a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and use it as a computer (it required a special OTG USB to HDMI adapter). It connected to my car. It had a big enough screen to be a mobile Tv. It was fun for sketching with the included pressure sensitive pencil. I had a game-controller that it could click into, making it into a handheld game machine. And it had a graphics chip that gave it more graphics ability than comparable mobile computing devices of the time. It even had a cool thing where it could emulate and magnetic credit card swipe, making it compatible with credit card readers that didn't yet support tap-to-pay! Truly a miracle device.

Yet for all that, I replaced it with a Moto X just 2 years later, and it's the Moto X that I really miss, with its superior voice control and its preference to remain in my pocket, and the little dimple in its wooden back.
Screen Mirroring is possible, but it has to be a little creative.

For me the use case is asking a local LLM questions about an invention I'm working on, as with ChatGPT I can't be confident the ideas don't make their way into the model. I'm able to run some 13B 5Q models, in my opinion the utility and complexity is somewhere between GPT3 and GPT3.5, which doesn't quite cut it for this purpose. That's not to say anything of the lacking coding abilities. I'm on the fence of getting a 3090. If I do so I think I'll set up a server on the PC so I can query the LLM from my phone just like one can use ChatGPT.
I've come around to the view that the randomness of enforcement (of any law or norm) can itself be a quite effective force multiplier at causing people to be on better behavior.

I traveled to Shanghai in 2018 for business. Attitudes were mixed, but mostly impressed by the pace of development. Flights were cheap for the amount of fuel required ($1200). The (Japanese) OEM I was subcontracting for wanted to install and train the operators using the same equipment in their US final assembly plants as in the Chinese factories where the subassemblies were made. I studied the FSI Mandarin course enough to catch a few basic phrases and read a little pinyin, and I set up Alipay on arrival with a small amount of help from my host. The only shortcoming from a travel perspective was that I ran out of my (TSA-approved) travel-size deodorant and could not find Western deodorant in any of the shops.

On the one hand, it's staggering to me how rapid the pace of change against China has been. On the other hand, it was also staggering how rapidly they were modernizing and building in 2018.
