Russia is a Pariah state now. I bet Putin would love if North Korea were the ones to break the Nuclear taboo so he could use nukes in Ukraine hoping for less of a reaction.

It's probably less direct than that though, as they need the North Korean ammo and want North Korea to distract the US as much as possible.

Super fun.

If you wrote the firmware on your own before, and it works on multiple operating systems, and you didn't refer to Linux to use it... I don't understand how one would think it's a "derived work". How does it "derive" from Linux?

No, you’ve got weird ideas about citizenship and civil rights if you think that’s the case.

Plenty of rights are conferred by merely being within the borders of a country, regardless of citizenship status. You can be a tourist or even an illegal immigrant in the US and have the right to habeas corpus or the right of non-self-incrimination, for example.

Talking about elevating corporations to be on par with citizens is a fascist idea, which is absolutely adjacent to corporatism.

> someone complained about NTP issues with traffic passing through TATA and they were told to make their devices stratum 0 or something

Not saying your summary of that thread is wrong, I just wanted to expand a bit to maybe clarify:

- someone posted to NANOG about issues with their (European) servers reaching 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org
- they noticed they were being routed through Tata (AS6453)
- they mentioned that their other servers (e.g. in Africa) had no issues
- they posted to NANOG to ask about this
- they thought it was a routing or FreeBSD issue (they later posted about the issue to a FreeBSD list as well)

So AFAICT, the correct response was posted about a day and a half (~42 hours) later:

- the NTP pool uses GeoDNS to map clients to servers
- the OP's server IP address was incorrectly geolocated to Mauritius
- the Mauritius zone in the pool has only one server
- so the OP would only ever get that IP as an answer

The short-term fix was to use a different pool address (e.g. europe.pool.ntp.org), and the responder also mentioned that the NTP pool folks were working to fix the problem.

Full thread here:

https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2023-August/222706.html

Now the interesting part of that thread was that shortly after (~4 hours) the OP posted about their problem, someone replied and recommended that they setup their own GPS-based NTP network.

From there, that sub-thread was mostly about NTP attacks and GPS security and mounting receivers on top of datacenter buildings and such.

Counting up the messages (if my mail client's threading capabilities are to be trusted), of the 94 or so total messages in the thread, 79 (84%) of the messages were in that GPS-related subthread, and only 15 messages responded to the OPs issue directly.

I didn't really see this as a failing of NANOG per-se, it's just a public mailing list and some folks went on a nerd sniping tangent (cf. XKCD #356).

In a manner of speaking. TikTok solves the distribution problem for short videos, but not TV shows or movies. As the time to consume goes up, you face more of a gamble on whether consuming that piece of media will be "worth it". Books are the most extreme form of the problem.

Just when you may have thought things couldn’t get any crazier: American playwright and humorist C.J. Hopkins, profiled in this space on numerous occasions, has been sent a “punishment order” by a German judge, offering him a Sophie’s Choice of 60 days in jail or 3,600 euros.

His crime? Essentially, insulting the German health minister in a tweet, and using a scarcely-visible image of a Swastika on a mask in a book critical of the global pandemic response, The Rise of the New Normal Reich. He was first accused of this “crime” in June, shortly after Roger Waters was placed under investigation for wearing his clearly satirical “Pink” costume in a stage performance in Berlin. As I wrote when C.J. was charged weeks later, authorities claim that through the use of the mask image, C.J. was “disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization.”
Prison labor is not intrinsically bad, but they should not be exempt from minimum wage laws. Ideally there should be some mechanism for forcing prisons to pay the prisoners a fair market wage; even if the prisoner doesn't deserve it, the rest of the labor market deserves to not compete with underpaid prison labor. And we need another constitutional amendment, removing the exemption for convicted criminals in the 13th.

If those issues were cleared up, then giving prisoners the opportunity to learn how to earn money legitimately would be good for rehabilitation. So prison labor is not intrinsically mistreatment.
> People dont choose to have kids based on how they like to spend their time.

I'm not sure I agree, at least universally. How do you decide for children without thinking about the changes it'll make to your daily life and whether that's something you want to be doing?

Of course there's plenty of people who have children because they feel it's expected of them, or economic necessity, or other external reasons.

You start off with a maybe interesting point (Matthew 7:3) and then instead of the obvious conclusion "all software / operating systems are full of flaws, their advocates don't notice the familiar ones and do notice other ones" you go for "windows users are dumb hurr hurr"? Isn't the point of your frame of reference story that it's not "headteacher smart, students dumb" but "headteacher attention drawn to different things than student attention"? I aggressively deal with annoyances in Windows, I run Windows 10 Pro in the UK and stay away from cloud services and Edge and Bing so maybe I don't see as many adverts as others?

Yet recently on Ubuntu Server I mistyped a Ceph command related to Rados Block Device (rbd), transposing the last two letters I wrote "rdb". Ubuntu told me:

user@server:~# rdb

Command 'rdb' not found, but there are 22 similar ones.

user@server:~#

What is anyone supposed to do with that message?? That is incomprehensible that someone would go to the effort of programming that message thinking it was in any way useful. How did that make it past code review and Canonical bundling into mainline Ubuntu server? It can go with the Ubuntu Server installer which, when there's no network connection asks if you want to continue installing without network access and when you say yes the next step prompts for a proxy server address to get to the internet and the step after tries to connect to the internet to apt update - just running through that one single time or even thinking it through is enough to show the problem there, but apparently Canonical developers ... didn't do either? Or the Ubuntu minimized install option which installs without a text editor of any kind despite being a bloaty 6.3GB and managing to include bash, dash, readline, Python3 and Perl, but 1.7MB of vim.tiny is too much; designed by Silicon Valley doofuses with gigabit internet and no idea of the value of a billion bytes?

The specks in Windows are barely noticable in comparison to these planks. Or compared to the poor functionality of macOS finder against Windows Explorer.

(see also: Zawinski's Cascade of Attention Deficit Teenager's development model[1] - they're so used to broken software replaced with broken software endlessly that they can't imagine anything else). Wait, which is the speck and which is the plank? The lesson is Linux users/developers dumb hurr hurr, was it?

Man, fighting "all or nothing" thinking is a lifelong endeavor.

There are several reasons to have a VPN, and the VPN logging connections is a detriment to some of those.

Reasons include:

* Evading geo-blocking to appear from one country or another

* Evading profiling by websites by laundering your public IP address with others

* Evading privacy invasion by ISPs that most definitely use data for ad/tracking purposes and definitely have logs for law enforcement

* Doing things that could attract interest from law enforcement

The last bullet is the only one affected by logging at the VPN. In this case, the question is which entity do you want to have your traffic? Someone with a reputation for privacy to uphold, or ATT?
I wrote my credit union a message advising them that a good feature they could add would be having a tab in their banking web interface (or their mobile app) that shows me all charges that repeat (monthly or yearly) so that I can more easily keep track of what is charging me. Additionally I think it could be useful to just show repeat vendors, regardless of regularity of payments.

I usually catch them when I scroll down my usage statements once per month, but having it in-your-face would be beneficial to quite a lot of people I think.
>If you had a database and some separate messaging like ZeroMQ, Rabbit, Kafka, you’re going to get race conditions. There’s always going to be a potential race where you have two messages - one is going to the disk and one is going to the network. If someone else is listening and sees both of them, they could potentially get them in either order. So it’s much, much simpler to just have one path. Foundation is really fast, so it works great.

Having difficulty parsing this justification. How will a client code listening to an event get two events - one from network, and one from disk in case of any of the queuing systems mentioned here? I am also curious to know how the FoundationDB act like a messaging system apart more than a message store?

Completely dismissing the content because you believe it must be biased is somewhat ironic.

Which one? If you're referring to the piece published by Destiny, what constitutes an "attack piece" if all the claims made are rigorously cited? Would being an attack piece invalidate the claims even if they're demonstrably true?

Occasionally I wonder what could have happened to front-end web application development over the past few years if Figma had open-sourced their WebGL-based GUI library.

We've had ~15 years of focus on the DOM with the progression of jQuery to Backbone to Vue, and many other libraries. At least what I've heard of the Figma approach almost sounds like the Adobe Flash/Flex runtime.

That might only make sense for applications with high levels of information density and snappy reactivity requirements like Figma or Google Docs or a web map -- not for content-focused websites. Still, it's interesting to wonder if our arguments would be more interesting these days if we were discussing those types of approaches, rather than just fighting about React vs. Svelte, or this JavaScript module loader vs. that one...

dozens of great ideas in here pedro.

> The main feature allows specific code chunks to be referenced and edited/removed/appended to.

Do you know if it works to just include in the system message something like "When editing a function, don't rewrite the whole thing, be sure to edit modules piecemeal e.g. Foo.NestedFooClass.bar_method = ..."?

> imports could be auto-added when missing and unambiguous

GREAT idea. You're write, tons of low hanging fruit here. A preprocess.py file should probably be added to Open Interpreter with all these ideas— what do LLMs tend to fail at that we can programmatically correct in each code block? Then just run that on each block it writes before asking the user for approval to run it.

> logit warping to boost tokens corresponding to names/keywords valid in the current scope

WOAH. Have you heard of outlines? (https://normal-computing.github.io/outlines/) Lets you put in any Regex you want, then as the LLM is generating, logit bias is used to conform the output to that Regex. Works for local models. I can totally imagine pairing some linting function with outlines to get models to write automatically linted code on the first pass.

For my thing, I abandoned IPython since I wanted a more uniform approach to multiple programming languages. Open Interpreter keeps a single subprocess open with `python -i` to get a live Python interpreter that displays a real-time output. It's acts the same as IPython, but I can just swap out that command (for example, with `node -i`) to get different languages. I think this also gets around the issues with cell magic, which as you've said, might confuse it— instead we just ask the model to tell us what language it wants to use + the code it wants to run in a single function call.

Have thought a lot about letting the user edit code. The next version of Open Interpreter = an electron app with a UI so you can edit code before it runs, better copy/paste, convo history, etc.

> with a broken backspace key

By the way, have you heard of this idea of training models to use a backspace key? Powerful stuff. We could think about implementing this in preprocess.py — another pass by GPT-4 or whatever to edit things it thinks isn't going to work. To the user it would just look like GPT-4 has a working backspace key.

Would love to see your github on these if you're willing to share! Open Interpreter is MIT license so ideally I could make it attractive enough / similar enough to your project to simply join up / contribute some of these ideas.
Since this is about Google, where I worked:

> The Google spokesperson said that caste discrimination has “no place in our workplace and it’s prohibited in our policies.”

I can testify that Ads was very heavily Indian, much more than the general employee percentages would predict. I don't know if it still is. Sridhar Ramaswamy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sridhar_Ramaswamy) probably had something to do with that. From informal observation, IIT was a very common alma mater for them.

Yet, within the SmartASS team in Ads, a huge percentage of the engineers were Canadian. I worked in the office right next door to them for a while.

What does this tell you? People tend to refer their friends and give good recommendations to people they know. A Canadian is more likely to know other Canadians. So is that "discrimination?"
In one of my shortest HR screening interviews ever, I was asked if I'm interested in remaining remote, to which I responded "I'd be potentially open to a hybrid option leaning towards remote". The interviewer said "For full transparency, we do have a mandated 3 days a week in-office policy, would that work for you?" and I said (really trying to be optimistic and giving them the benefit of the doubt) "Well, I suppose it would depend on why that policy exists, is there specific necessity for it?" to which she rattled off the standard nonsense that most companies do, amounting to approximately "It's just the way we work for collaboration purposes, we have a beautiful office here in town, and we're a startup that's been going since 2021" (strange time to start a RTO company) etc...

Trying to find even the slightest bit of positivity in that, I responded with "In that case, I'd have further questions, such as what is the physical office space like? If it just the entire company in a giant open-office with everyone chatting away and so on, I have zero interest in moving forward with that." and she said "Yes, that's pretty much exactly what it's like, so in that respect we can probably stop here", and I agreed and wished her well in her journey. Quite comical.

I'm not going to drive myself into another depression and burnout cycle while trying to do technical work in a physical space there's really no reason to be, while trying to ignore the stupid distractions and mouth sounds of sales people and managers around me.
I think rapid iteration + kanban style documentation is indispensable towards good productivity for most dev teams. I think having quick dev cycles + good documentation benefits everyone: devs, managers, and the accounting team too. Where I think Scrum goes wrong is that turns documentation+rapid iteration into a cudgel to use against devs and pressure them.

"Why didn't you finish this story? You committed to us you'd finish in two weeks!!" Perhaps well documented rapid iteration processes naturally tends towards dev mistreatment, but I genuinely hope not.

My dream world is where devs can aim high, fail, and try again as many times as is needed without being judged/penalized.
