This should probably done on a per port basis right? Authentication schemes for validating an endpoint for HTTPS and MQTT are pretty mature. Banning all other port connections for IoT devices and requiring the device to validate it's endpoints using a PKI mechanism seems pretty reasonable to achieve the security classification without making an unreasonable ask on businesses. Devices that would have to connect to arbitrary endpoints kind of fall outside of IoT in my opinion. Further guidelines could be put out for other ports and protocols, but those two would probably cover the vast majority of IoT use cases.

I guess the only issue is the concern that if a vulnerability is discovered, the device could be made to make requests to another endpoint. Perhaps it would make more sense for endpoints to be hard coded if you don't want to have to provide OTA updates? That could be more secure in the long run for a lot of applications than having a mechanism that allows you to remotely overwrite firmware.

Nice! And sounds better.

To be nitpicking, I'd propose "Elle a tant dit au revoir avant" (9 also), which retains the original 'before'.

Tolerance is not a moral position, so reasoning about it in moral terms is nonsense.

Couldn't help but chuckle. What mysterious technology could allow us to send an entire fully-populated UI over the web?
I believe this is no longer true. iOS devices are allowed in the DoD, for example.
Totally. Wouldn't recommend all queries have it, but there are some critical tables that should.
OK. I did. They said "no, it's not the case that networking at Google is predominately user-mode". (They also said "it depends on what you mean by most"). Do you have more you want me to relay to them? Did you work on this stuff at Google?

Per the Snap thread above: if you're building a router or a load balancer or some other bit of network infrastructure, it's not unlikely that there's userland IP involved. But if you're shipping a normal program on, like, Borg or whatever, it's kernel networking.
These codes aren't talking HTTP. They are talking POSIX to a real filesystem. The problem is that cloud-based FUSE mounts are never as reliable (they will "just hang" at random times and you need some sort of external timeout to kill the process and restart the job and possible the host) as a real filesystem (either a local POSIX one or NFS or SMB).

I've used all the main FUSE cloud FS (gcsfuse, s3-fuse, rclone, etc) and they all end up falling over in prod.

I think a better approach would be to port all the important science codes to work with file formats like parquet and use user-space access libraries linked into the application, and both the access library and the user code handle errors robustly. This is how systems like mapreduce work, and in my experience they work far more reliably than FUSE-mounts when dealing with 10s to 100s of TBs.

A few years ago I got a 53 Chevrolet pickup with a 3 speed (and a nice BW overdrive attachment). Learned how to drive a manual in that truck and will never buy an automatic again as long as I can choose. Actually operating the vehicle is extremely satisfying and fun. I’m swapping out the C-4 in my 65 mustang for a T-5 as soon as I can spare the cash/time. For me it’s definitely not a matter of practicality but a “vinyl” type of thing. My DD has a CVT but at least emulates shifting with paddles

Their initial moat was built with ChatGPT, which was launched less than a year ago and was surpassed by competitors in less than 6 months. Their current GPT4 is less than 6 months old. While your statement may be true for now, I don’t expect it will hold longer term. They have name recognition advantage, but so did AOL.

> And BOOM! 100%(!) accuracy against our test suite with just 2 prompt tries. ... OK, so I'm super happy with the accuracy and almost ready to ship it. ... Wawaweewah! ... letting me actually deploy this in production ...

This feels like extreme overconfidence in the LLM, sort of how I felt the first time I used one.

How many times did they run the test suite? How thorough is the test suite? How much does accuracy matter here, anyway? (seems like it does matter or they wouldn't advertise 100% accuracy and point out edge cases)

In my experience, LLMs will hallucinate on not only the correctness and consistency of answers but also the format of their response, whether it be JSON or "Yes/No". If LLMs didn't hallucinate JSON, there'd be no need for posts like 'Show HN: LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time' [1].

If this gave 100% correctness on all test cases always, I'd need to throw out everything I know about LLMs which says they're totally unfit for this sort of purpose, not only due to accuracy, but due to speed, cost, external API dependency, etc, mentioned in other comments.

Suggesting that problems with edge cases and text manipulation are good candidates for LLMs seems dangerous. Now your code is nondeterministic (even with temperature set to 0).

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't knock those who love driving manual. Part of why I like riding my motorcycle is that it's a manual.

But in LA traffic, I'd rather drive an automatic so I can put my brain into "autopilot" while playing an audiobook rather than have to constantly be shifting by hand. It irks me how so many manual-lovers have this superiority complex over people who just want a car that will get them from A to B. Have fun with your manuals, but don't speak as if I'm an imbecile because I don't think driving manual is fun in heavy traffic.

They want it to return a single token yes/no, which may not work so well since it doesn't have "space to think". Chain of thought is much more reliable.

But that costs more.. but they ended up anyway doing:
>The other key will be 'reason' and include a free text explanation of why you chose Yes or No.

But they did yes/no FIRST, then reason. So he ended up asking for the answer, and then asked it to _justify_ why that's the answer.
For chain of thought to be helpful, you do the opposite: First explain why these addresses match or don't match, then give a final answer.
Same amount of tokens but activated chain of thought prior to the answer, giving it "space to think".
They did primarily government contracts for a long time, but when I was there (2016-2020) it was all private contracts

Many comments are criticizing the usage of LLM for this use case but I do believe this will become more common in the future. For example, OpenAI's retrieval plugin leverages LLM to do PII detection [1] instead of using the traditional libraries [2].

I disagree. You're talking about neoliberal versus xenophobic conservative but even then, mainstream conservative politicians love free markets spoitting cheap labor and illegal immigration.

And then you have a particular left wing contingent that understands the issues with unlimited export of labor to lower income countries, which is why unions and some left-wing politicians opposed NAFTA and the trans-pacific partnership.

Trump might be the only Republican leader in recent history to explicitly desire a crackdown on global supply chains.

Perhaps his views haven't changed but he's definitely broadcasting different a different set since 2020. He's not particularly right wing but he's definitely most palatable to the Conservative in the American Republican sense for a reason.

I think it's because his bread and butter content moved from socialist philosophy to rugged individualism and anti-vaxxer rhetoric.

Not that I particularly blame him, it's probably a fairly easy trade-up now in 2023. Why would he retain his smaller collectivist left wing audience, given he's managed a 2700% increase in online viewership by talking about vaccine mandates and how to circumvent them?

> I don't see how it concentrates power. There are people who do capitalism poorly, and then they whine about how it was unfair to them.

And the fact that you (and others) can't see how it inherently concentrates power is exactly what's wrong with the current views of pure free-market proponents.

Free markets are bad. Market competition is good. It's that simple and people still don't seem to be able to distinguish them.

The only way to have market competition is to soundly enforce it. Any free market left alone eliminates market competition and consolidates power - that consolidated power then eliminates any efficiency gained from capitalism.

One of the single most important roles of government is to eliminate heavily unbalanced concentrations of power un order to maintain competition.

In the marketplace that means swift eliminating monopolies, in individuals it means maintaining some tempers inequality, and in democracy it means ensuring any concentrated power cannot perform regulatory capture. But you cannot do the latter without ensuring the former two. Everyone seems to recognize regulatory capture and the imbalance of power it involves in democracy, but some how cannot see the exact same issues in the individual or the marketplace. All three require market competition to be healthy and thrive - and aid concentration of power.
Neither, really, just spell out what that means more explicitly

>For me, the word means that I can trade what I own to other people who want it and are offering me something I want in return. It means that, if I scrape and save, I'm allowed to turn around and invest those savings in another endeavor of my own and that whatever profits I make from it are mine to keep.

No offense, but your definition (as distinguishing capitalism from socialism) isn't very good either. Your first sentence is merely the definition of a market, which can still exist just fine under socialism (even the authoritarian varieties extant today feature markets).

As for the second part, that's the exact thing that proponents of socialism assert you are not free to do under capitalism. Your average worker has no hope of saving up to be able to "start an endeavor", and even well-off ones often are beholden to investors, which forces you to part with a substantial part of your profits you made to people who contributed no work to your endeavor. Likewise, if your business does become profitable, it is usually going to be as a result of work others did, not profits "you" made.

The key part of capitalism is that any profits in excess of the bare minimum go to the owners of capital, not the workers. Unless you have capital yourself, you either have no access to the means of production, or are forced to give up a substantial part of the value you produce.
I think it’s public, not private.
This is not relevant to the car industry.

The whole European car industry is suffering and worried because they have been slow to get into EV. European industry also seems to have been very slow to get into batteries and solar panels.

Meanwhile, China saw it coming and went all in as they did before, e.g. with 4G and 5G. This has allowed them to leapfrog the established players.

Oh, I live in metro boston and before that lived in the slurm of southern california, and have not at any time owned a car with an automatic transmission... The workload from gear shifting is more than zero, but not (for me) oppressively so.

Even "stop and go" traffic eventually has some average speed and sometimes it is low enough that you've got to clutch in to come to a full stop and clutch out to go faster; modern engine management's pretty good at keeping the motor from stalling. Probably I annoy people by letting the lead in front of me get to be a couple car lengths before I decide to go, but that's on them... we'll all get there eventually.

Electric cars are the best in that you're basically always in first gear, the redline is basically infinite, and the car doesn't stall when the engine's not moving, so you don't need a clutch.

CVEs don't work all that well in standalone as proof of exploitability.

It's always good to supplement with things like whether exploit tooling for said CVE exists (proof that there's some actual weakness behind the CVE) - or use data feeds like EPSS which rely on actual verified exploits to create their exploit probability score.

AI Performs Comparably to Human Readers of Mammograms
Einstein talks of a planned economy towards the end. It's easy to see how someone in 1949 might think it's a good idea, but in 2023 the idea seems antiquated. All of the major economies are largely not planned.

Now I wonder if the idea of a planned economy was just tried too early. Was it missing the quantized world we live in now, with increases in information processing and communication? Is there an AI advancement in our near future that can outperform the free economy?
Lenat was my assigned advisor when I started my Masters at Stanford. I met with him once and he gave me some advice on classes. After that he was extremely difficult to schedule a meeting with (for any student, not just me). He didn't get tenure and left to join MCC after that year. I don't think I ever talked to him again after the first meeting.

He was extremely smart, charismatic, and a bit arrogant (but a well-founded arrogance). From other comments it sounds like he was pleasant to young people at Cycorp. I think his peers found him more annoying.

His great accomplishments were having a multi-decade vision of how to build an AI and actually keeping the vision alive for so long. You have to be charismatic and convincing to do that.

In the mid-80s I took his thesis and tried to implement AM on a more modern framework, but the thesis lacked so many details about how it worked that I was unable to even get started implementing anything.

BTW, if there are any historians out there I have a copy of Lenat's thesis with some extra pages including emailed messages from his thesis advisors (Minsky, McCarthy, et al) commenting on his work. I also have a number of AI papers from the early 1980s that might not be generally available.

Tembo Stacks: Making Postgres the Everything Database
Can we stop rehashing arguments for planned economies; they are terrible because they ignore the million micro signals that drive the economic engine. Instead they over and under produce just about everything because the central planners have an impossible job. Furthermore, older socialist theories still operate under the assumption that production is the biggest economy, rather than service. You can't translate the theories since the value add of service economies are rarely bound by the "means of production"(factories) and the labor value add fluctuates wildly with skill which breaks any sense of worker solidarity.
