This thread is tending towards flamewar so I'll try to dial back, but I do want to respond.

> You are being manipulative an trying to make it look that people who disagree with you are somehow pro-child abuse.

I am not doing that. You described my position as an "alien morality", to which another poster seemed to agree. I was responding to that by clarifying the actual moral point I was making. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not arguing that you are pro-child abuse.

> In saying "Does the tech industry have any alternate solutions that could functionally mitigate this abuse?" you are trying to pain a picture in which child abuse is somehow "tech industry" fault.

Yes, this is basically a correct understanding of my position. I am stating that the problem has been massively exacerbated by the adoption of E2EE by the tech industry, and that the tech industry therefore has a moral responsibility to deal with the unintended consequences of its own action.

> the truth is that personal communication was private for hundreds of years, because it was impossible for the state to listen in on everything.

The truth is that in pre-internet times, networks of pedophiles could be dismantled by the state, partly through surveillance -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedophile_Information_Exchang... for a supporting example.

I would definitely not be against such a coalition :-).

I think we already effectively have (more loosely defined than your idea) a global community that is based on various open source efforts. Open source is vitally important (and not much appreciated in the usual ossified power centers) phenomenon as it proves that in many critical nodes of information technology: desktop and mobile OS, desktop apps, browsers, social media, and all sorts of libraries etc you can perfectly well have alternatives that are more in line with societal objectives.

But we have now enough of a track record to know the open source mode cannot scale to provide the backbone that everyone deserves. What is missing is the regulatory framework that will induce (and if needed, force) commercial initiatives to be interoperable, ring fenced, small enough to fear and respect clients and users, the opposite of the too-big-to-fail conglomerates, in short: we need companies that are good digital citizens.
> I don't think there is such a thing as a silly question but consider this: it's not just 'running the code', you need to actually understand the problem and short of a career in physics you're looking at 'numbers in that make no sense to you' and 'numbers out that make no sense to you'.

ok but what if the numbers do make sense to me tho, maybe i'm a computational physicist in some other area but not that one

Hi tyingq, thank you for your comment.

Your deduction goes a bit too far - yes, the technology demo in this post is in the same space as that case study, but no - the implementation is completely different.

Many firms replace their in-database processing with in-memory-like stores but it would be very difficult to achieve similarly low latency and still provide real-time updates with the solutions that you mentioned like Redis, ElasticSearch, etc. due to a number of the internal design features of these data stores.

The most fundamental issues are:
a) inefficient memory allocation model hurting CPU cache usage,
b) implementation model based on painful data serialization/deserialization transformations wasting both CPU and memory resources.

This is why we build and share this demo which enables you to achieve a 20x lower latency than other available options.

You may find a a bit more what's behind the demo in the Technology section here:

> Right, so your Firstname is A and your Lastname is D. There's no ambiguity there.

You are offering your own unique technical solution to a cultural problem that has already been solved, and while I admire your confidence, I must explain why it is incorrect.

I don't have a "last name", I have two surnames. The notion of "last name" implicitly assumes that there is one and only one surname.

As I already hinted at, people in Spain customarily use their first surname as their "last name". That's why 90% of communications address me as A C, even while living in Canada.

It is my understanding that the same rule is used in all of Latin America, including Brazil.

It's less powerful, but not overloaded UI-wise.

Good lord it’s awful haha.

Some more unhinged stuff I noticed:

- swiping backwards exists the drop down menu for some inexplicable reason

- clicks on menu bar items take so long I genuinely thought I hadn’t tapped on it correctly.

- taps on the menu bar sometimes just don’t work. Like, at all. Oh scratch that, the menu was there after I swapped tabs to write this sentence.

- massive chunks load in at different times: the signing key page shifts as more content loads in 3.5 seconds later.
I checked, across the pond (here in NL) most kettles are up to 2200, maybe 2400 W; the 3 kW ones are the "dispense instant boiling water" type things. I suspect the UK power standards are a bit more beefy, the plugs sure are.

It's probably a wide safety margin, you should be able to run an electric oven, a hob, and a kettle at the same time on a single fuse group nowadays. Or a kitchen should have separate groups.

It will take more than a weekend. This reminds me of that old joke about X-Windows:

"X Protocol is extensible!"

"So is a bucket of molten pig-iron."

There is definitely a lot of "intentionality" required to access newsgroups, let alone do more complicated stuff like moderate a newsgroup, when the answer to how to set it up in many environments is like that other old joke about a hotel where you have to make your own bed:

Because prompts lack sufficient creative control.

Typing a search sting into Google doesn’t provide copyright over its output.
if you keep prompting an artist for edits over and over again for more changes, you don't suddenly own the copyright.

the lesson you should learn is that advanced ai autofill in photoshop may lack human authorship, but it wasn't good enough to become a serious copyright issue until those tools came into existence.
if the things you're collaging can't be copyrighted because they lack human authorship, you can only copyright the arrangement, not the things you're arranging.

If they have human authorship, its the original human artist's work you're collaging and now you're creating an unauthorized derivative work violating many copyrights.
Nobody who is just learning docker knows or cares what Bazel or Crane are.

A pedant might similarly go the other way and say "C isn't just a compiled language, because personally I use the Ch C interpreter".

I don't think it's a good enough reason to avoid reasonable simplifications in technical writing because "Well actually, advanced users have an edge case where that assumption doesn't strictly hold....". The only way for anyone to get a reasonable understanding of anything complex is by starting with small simplifications and generalizations.
Can't you just shoot them down?

It would because the argument I made is that you want to prevent financial privacy and control other people’s money, not about how good crypto is at preventing those things.

“Scams occur so ban crypto” are the patriot act talking points and redistribution of consequences that I was referring to. Someone else being scammed is irrelevant to whether or not my participation is voluntary, and you need to prove my participation isn’t voluntary to justify banning crypto for everyone and not just scammers.

Nobody is ignoring any of your points, each one was addressed in my comment. You’re just throwing a tantrum now that you’re losing and repeating my words back to me regardless of how inapplicable they are.

This is a question I’ve been grappling with for a while.

The biggest challenge for me is what a coworker once called the “golden handcuff”, it’s pretty hard to find similar salaries and if one has grown to need a tech salary to keep afloat, well, it would require major life changes to get out of there.

With that said here are a few of the things that I’ve seen

1. Medical Coding (has nothing to do with code as in programming)
This is an interesting one because it seems that one can get in with a few months of training and a $200 certification exam. The initial salary is not horrendous but it can grow quite a bit.

2. Federal jobs (USA based) (usajobs.gov)
I was surprised to find such reasonable salaries for such a big variety of roles! Things like administering programs or approving grants or mathematics statistics for the IRS easily and routinely make it to the 6 figures.

3. Completely different career:

I came across a fascinating masters degree in Coursera which allows me to earn a masters in a field I have no professional experience although I’m quite interested in. There was no requirement for a bachelor’s degree in that field nor the general tedious process of admission to a graduate degree. It simply required that you’d be able to keep up with the course work, like complementing knowledge you don’t have from a bachelor in that area by yourself.
This is certainly a longer term commitment but for me sounds fantastic to get to a place where I could match software salaries without ever looking at a software company again!
Come on. You know who the "shareholders" are that the parent commenter talks about. They are board members and people with a huge amount of shares, not "normal" people who hold 5 shares in their retirement portfolio.

The main interest of a shareholder is return on investment. And that's fine. The problem is that if you don't have enough competing entities in a market, these shareholders of the few companies that still exist hold disproportionate power that can and will be misused to make any attempt at new, reasonable competition infeasible.

It's really not that hard to understand.
So they say 1 crash every 60k miles (or about 5 years worth of driving). I really doubt humans have one crash every 5 years on average.

Then they say 1 fatal crash every 100 million miles.... And then make it sound like we have to have self driven cars drive 100 million miles before we can tell if they are safer.

That article is all over the place.

Unfortunately I had very negative experience with it. I have a laptop with an Nvidia secondary, GPU and had the repeat terrible experience of my computer locking up right on boot due to the broken Nouveau driver that shipped with the kernel. It'd have been fine to not even initialize the GPU, as I wasn't actually using it, which is what I ended up doing, disabling nouveau right from the Grub menu.
Yes, you are right. I agree. Open source is a HUGE benefit and an excellent way to counteract corporations from holding all the resources. In my own professional workflow I use a lot of it, and I also try to give back by contributing tutorials to using it and recommending it as well. I think the world would be a lot worse off without the open-source world.
The elevation profile is great, for sure, but I meant more like...difficulty, rather than grade? I don't know the exact word to use, but sometimes you have well used, well marked trails and other times you have a "trail" that maybe gets used a few times a year and is more like a choose your own adventure with a rock cairn or two every couple hundred meters if you are lucky.
I recently upgraded to the latest Debian stable, which gave me wayland-based KDE. I thought to give it a try, but running old dosbox or wine based games in full screen doesn't seem to work: They appear in the top left corner, but don't change the resolution. I reverted to X for now. I might give it another try later. Am I just unlucky, or are the wayland edges still this rough?
Furthermore, I just recently learn that after Franco's death, the entire country decided that it was best to not investigate and prosecute any of the wrongdoers from before the pact in order to make the transition to democracy "more smooth" after the dictatorship fell apart. Imagine the same happening after Nazi Germany fell, hard to imagine people willingly just forgetting what happened...

> The Pact of Forgetting (Spanish: Pacto del Olvido) is the political decision by both leftist and rightist parties of Spain to avoid confronting directly the legacy of Francoism after the death of Francisco Franco in 1975.[1] The Pact of Forgetting was an attempt to move on from the Civil War and subsequent repression and to concentrate on the future of Spain.[2] In making a smooth transition from autocracy and totalitarianism to democracy, the Pact ensured that there were no prosecutions for persons responsible for human rights violations or similar crimes committed during the Francoist period. On the other hand, Francoist public memorials, such as the mausoleum of the Valley of the Fallen, fell into disuse for official occasions.[3] Also, the celebration of "Day of Victory" during the Franco era was changed to "Armed Forces Day" so respect was paid to both Nationalist and Republican parties of the Civil War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pact_of_Forgetting

No wonder Spain still experiences a lot of issues related to fascism, Francoists, Carlists and more, you cannot just pretend like something didn't happen.
It wasn’t terribly difficult once we got a feel for the underlying API. GP surrogates work out of the box, but you can plug in other kinds as well. Same goes for acquisition functions.

As far as the objective, usually we’re calling an external physics-based solver (e.g. finite elements) and post-processing the solution to get the quantity we’re trying to optimize. There’s almost never any gradient information, so Bayesian optimization winds up being the method of choice.
Why does it need the D runtime to set a variable once? This seems very complicated.

Interesting it's only 3x as fast on GPU as MKL on CPU I wonder how it compares to OpenBLAS.

Oh but it's 2011 before GPU had really popped off, especially for larger precision. Probably in 2023 there is bigger GPU benefit vs. CPU.
1. lots of established law and case law (at least in the US), this is already a well-settled problem and folks have the tools and proper venue to bring infringement claims.

I've used organicmaps for a while. but it needs a way to sync bookmarks. I bookmark places like a good restaurant, parking places, fuel stations, stores, roadside attractions to places I've been to. But without a cloud sync(preferably self-hosted nextcloud), I always fear I'm going to lose my bookmarks. There was another open-source maps.me fork before Organic maps and it lost maps/bookmarks with certain updates and became abandoned.[1]

With file access limitation with recent android versions, I can't just use foldersync or syncthing on the bookmarks.

Stopping cars from parking all over bike lanes is definitely important. However, broken glass on bike lanes is common as debris tends to migrate or be swept to the side of the road which is usually where the bike lanes are. Also, wet, decomposing leaves can be a major slip hazard for cyclists.

Snow and ice are another reason to sweep bike lanes and it's interesting that in some active-travel friendly countries in the EU, they prioritise clearing the bike lanes first - presumably the theory is that bike lanes can transport a far greater number of people and cars don't usually have a problem with falling over when the road is slippery.
I tried sway and foot (as replacement for i3 and xterm) and found the input latency to be really bad. Is this a Wayland problem or was i having bad luck with foot?
your mouse doesnt make decisions for you. ML based art does, which is why it lacks human authorship and you shouldn't be able to copyright it.

If you hand painted something in photoshop 100% you can copyright it. It has human authorship. If its mostly AI based fill, those elements can't be copyrighted. if Its 100% an ai result, its public domain.
Show HN: DIY Disposable Email Service Using Cloudflare
I recently discovered Cloudflare Email Routing. It's a super sweet feature within Cloudflare for creating disposable emails.

Basically, if you have a domain connected to Cloudflare - you can create email addresses like "something@yourdomain.com" that can forward emails to your primary inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.).

This is great since you'll never need to share your real email address when signing up for new online services again. It will help you keep your primary inbox free from spam and promotional junk!

However, managing my disposable emails using Cloudflare's UI is not optimal. It's slow and bulky.

So I built this minimalistic UI for managing disposable emails. This client-side app communicates directly with the Cloudflare API.

Privacy is the #1 focus with this project. Feel free to contribute or let me know if you have ideas for improvement.

Use the hosted app, x2.email (easy-to-remember domain!), or host it yourself wherever you like.

Give the repo a star if you find it useful!
I confirm that I could reproduce the bug. I use YouTube France

This brings up a question I've had about OpenAI's fine-tuning APIs.

The training format is a series of question/answer pairs: i.e, what we might think of as "supervised" learning. It can be challenging to build good data sets for this scenario.

But transformer-based models actually don't require supervised learning: the bulk training of the GPT family is to just throw masses of text at it and have it do next-token prediction.

What's going on with the difference? When I "fine-tune" GPT-3.5 turbo, am I actually training the transformer, or the RLHF model that sits on top? Or both?

More to the point, is there any way to fine-tune OpenAIs models in a n "unsupervised" fashion? I.e, if I want to teach a model SQL, do I need to get a curated data set of question/answer pairs, or I can I just dump in a bunch of schema and SQL queries that will in theory make the model "better at SQL" in a generic way?
We had "RH" - but it's not in the AT&T list that the article points to, and it has no obvious georeferent. RHode island was the wrong state, RHodesia was suboptimal, and RHombus was non-geographical and too esoteric. RHinovirus perhaps.
