While true that it is easier for malicious actors to find this kind of thing with a tool that goes DONG! after a quick scan, its not as if the previous security through obscurity of "key hidden in megs or gigs of crashdump" was much of a blocker for a suitably motivated adversary.

There's no way bad actors will adhere to these restrictions anymore. Unless one's view of government is a very cynical one (they only care about controlling the general population vs actually fighting crime), tightly controlling cryptography is just not the effective tool anymore that it had been in the 90s.

it all depends on your lifestyle. A big piece of my reason to live is being able to get out in the woods or get to a dark sky site and sit out under the stars. People crowded places are not good for me from a mental and physical health perspective.

Living in or around city spaces raise my blood pressure to unsafe levels. It only takes living a couple weeks in a quiet place to bring my blood pressure come back down to healthy levels. It doesn't matter how much I walk or bike in a city. No amount of exercise or stress management techniques brings my blood pressure back down.

I will continue to live at edge of cities because I do need some of the medical services found in them but, living in them, well that's saying I'm ready to die.

It doesn't really tell you that, not yet. You didn't wait long enough for chronyd to decide.

All your output here shows is that all the servers are equally reachable since you started chronyd (very recently, except the NIST server) and the Facebook server had the most similar time to what is on your system.

For the aaplimg service, you'd be better off using the general hostname than a specific server that appears to be on a different continent than you.
Every time I’ve had to “wrangle typescript” it’s been converting old JS files where someone has done something that neither me nor typescript can work out what is going on.
Well that’s certainly a hot take. I’d say TypeScript is the best thing to happen to JS, but that’s just my opinion. It’s not perfect, but it makes working on a large codebase tolerable. To each their own.

Yes that's valid TypeScript, but is it good TypeScript? One should take a ternary nested that deep as a sign that refactoring is needed. You can write terrible code in any language, that doesn't make the language problematic.
> He craves the simpler times we once knew, where web/front-end development wasn't such a hot mess.

I strongly disagree. Web/front-end development was always a hot mess. It's just that when we were using Perl to write CGI.pm pages, we didn't have good tooling to tell us all the terrible things we were doing.

Modern tooling just shines a light on our mistakes. It didn't make them for us. Those simpler times only existed in the sense that we were blissfully ignorant of our sins.
I think the implicit argument here is that "capitalism" means "rule by those who own capital." Hence a lack of unemployed people, which would hurt the captains of industry, _would_ be a failure under that definition of "capitalism."

If by "capitalism" we merely mean things like a market economy with property rights, then the question would be what to call a system that has this but where workers, rather than captains of industry, have more power? Whatever we want to call _that_ system, it doesn't currently exist, and we've seen that any moves in that direction are very strongly resisted (c.f. return to office policies driven by captains of industry freaking out).
But we can hide those utility types in a deep dark util.ts hole and never look at them ever again

Hi flurie, Nixery exposes an API (in the form of an Docker registry) to dynamically build Nix-based images, but still tar & compresses Nix packages into layer tarballs. Since the image spec has a limit of 128 layers (due to overlayfs), a heuristic is used to put popular packages together. However, in practice there is still a large amount of duplication between images that share the same packages due to this heuristic based strategy. You also may deploy the same packages outside of containers but have to duplicate that same data (in a slightly different format) on a Docker Registry.

With `pkgs.nix-snapshotter.buildImage`, containerd natively understands Nix packages, so everything is pulled at package granularity without the layer limit. This means all container content is either already in your host nix store or fetched from your Nix binary cache. Think delta image pulls, which isn't possible with regular images since one bit difference will change the layer hash and thus duplicate.

That said, nothing stops Nixery from building nix-snapshotter images. Then we'll have an Docker Registry that dynamically builds native Nix images.
> Marx believed that making functioning plans was useless since progress was inevitable once unleashed.

Marx believed that planning out the detailed structure of a future utopian society, in the tradition of Owen or Fourier, was useless. And he was right. Societies are not and have never been the product of intentional design: no individual has the necessary power, no group has the necessary agency. They're the accretion, year after year, of millions of independent agents doing the best they can with the constraints the past has imposed on them. We can adjust the constraints, to some extent, and maybe aim, very imprecisely, at some desired end state, but we don't get to skip straight there.

#2 wouldn't work internationally. Of course the US can internally have whatever kind of legislation they want, including whatever requirements for having one's works covered by copyright. But non-US authors or companies (or government organizations) obviously can't be obliged to supply materials to the US Library of Congress.

You could deny them copyright protection for their software within the US if they don't but that wouldn't be exactly popular.

Of course you could still do it purely internally within the US for software whose copyright belongs to US organizations or individuals, and it might achieve some of what you want.
Less flammable would be Helium. It just so happens that the US is looking to sell the strategic helium reserve. So you just need to find a VC and you can get your backpacker's assistant idea off the ground. hehe

as far as helium balloon, it would have to be a balloon of such enormous size to be of any benefit. To launch a couple pounds of payload to 90k feet required a balloon 8' in diameter on the ground.

Here's a Temporal v Prefect comparison I wrote: https://community.temporal.io/t/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-o...

tldr is Temporal is more general-purpose: for reliable programming in general, vs data pipelines. It supports many languages, and combining languages, has features like querying & signaling, and can do very high scale.

CI/CD is a common use case for Temporal—used by HashiCorp, Flightcontrol, Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LliBP7YMGyA
> I question if my tolerance is moral often. To be highly moral you probably need to have good intolerances which I'm not capable of.

I don't know about that, there's this one Jewish guy who is taken to be largely morally right that summed up most morality with "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." and at another point said "Love one another". So I don't know if intolerance is really a good thing morally speaking.

Looking around the world, all the up and coming areas are mega-metro areas from Tokyo to Bangalore and from Sao Paulo to Shanghai. Or are you generalizing from a tiny handful of Americans who may be going to midwest / rockies after Covid?
I’ve been using llama.cpp to try out some large-ish models on my cpu for a while now. I’m on an amd 3600, with 32gb ram.

I can run 30B 4bit and 5bit models. It’s definitely “usable” but smaller models definitely run faster.

I don’t have a good graphics card, but it does work on cpu. With more ram I think the 65B and larger models are runnable as well

Don't fucking “incentivize” alternatives to the five-seater. Architecture it. Make more of the urban area car-free.[1] Make other modes of transportation superior except for things like emergency care.

Am I holding my breath for cheap bus fares and actual bikelanes? Not exactly. The usual fare is to keep maintaining and upgrading the road network with only automobiles in mind and then act surprised when people keep choosing the mode of transporation that the infrastructure was built around.

Cheaper EVs was a nice way to pander to the middle class. There is less of a reason to pander to people who either don't own a car or can't afford the more expensive (at least back then) EVs. That's why there is less of a chance to see cheaper bus fares.

> EVs already have escape velocity in Norway to replace ICE cars, and incentivizing more walking and cycling not only promotes more efficient modes of short distance travel, but makes the population healthier.

> Over reliance on cars kills us slowly via lifestyle degradation.

Many people who work in Oslo can't afford to live in Oslo (I'm sure many can relate). Then they get stuck in traffic for hours a day because many others, you know, live outside of the bikeable/walkable core. Commuting home from perhaps a sedentary job. Then this gets labeled as a matter of lifestyle. What the hell?

Federal expenditures as a function of GDP were ~12% or so in 1950 (ie, coming down from the war). They are 25% or so now, 20% before covid. I’d imagine the states are about the same.
Yeah, grants don't really seem to work here; my point was more that if you thought they were for innovation, that was way off-base. The grants can be helpful for upstarts, but not when the criteria exclude upstarts.

If the goal is universal service, it really needs to be mandatory, not voluntary, even with incentives (especially poorly administered incentives). But mandatory service is usually connected with a granted monopoly, which isn't really what we want either.

On the other hand, if it takes long enough to get everyone wired, wireless options will become competitive. Between LEO internet services (StarLink, maybe OneWeb and friends) and terrestrial 5G-NR, I think it's quite likely that few places without current wired broadband will ever get it.

> This still happens today, too. Look at the volume of tanks that NATO countries shipped to Iraq and Afghanistan. What tank losses occurred were predominantly from infantry, because there were simply no enemy tanks available to engage.

"Fighting the last war" has been another way I've heard it referred to. It is why, for instance, I didn't agree with the US DoD curtailing the F-22 purchase plans in favor of more counter-insurgency focused efforts.

As to tanks in Iraq/Afghanistan, lets not get tricked into thinking they were useless because there were no tanks for them to fight. They proved supremely useful as mobile pillboxes or observation posts, that could sit somewhere and use their sensor suites that were far and away better than the binoculars or nvg's a solider could put to their face.
This is the real answer. The amount of logs generated at cloud provider scale now are massive compared to what they were just a few years ago. The last time I was involved in these sorts of systems, circa 2014, logging was one of the core functions at a cloud provider that was /most/ demanding of physical hardware, everything from compute, memory, and storage, all the way to networking. A typical server in the environment in that provider in 2014 would have 2x10GigE connections set up for redundancy, log servers needed a minimum 2x40GigE connections /for throughput/.

These days I wouldn't be surprised if they are running 100GigE or 400GigE networks just for managing logs throughput at aggregation points.

Neat. A simple enhancement could be letting the server to cache the content for a short period of time, and push the cached webpage in the static rendering. This way:

* non js enabled clients can see the page, think robots, SEO, etc.

* js enabled clients can help to perpetuate the content

* if the last js enable client had a network glitch, the content is still available.
Honestly they were just there in the Wikipedia text I copied. I've seen them in more modern texts to help with pronunciations and translation (if I recall correctly some words have different meanings depending on the length of the final vowel but that can normally be determined from context). Romans sometimes used the apex to denote long vowels which would have otherwise been ambiguous but I think it wasn't as commonplace as in textbooks today.

> This kind of shallow dismissal of my shallow dismissal of a frankly idiotic idea that doesn't deserve a deeper dismissal

The labor theory of value was accepted wisdom prior to the late 19th century: it originates with Adam Smith and David Ricardo. It's wrong (or more accurately, not a good conceptual framework) but it's not obviously wrong, let alone "idiotic".
For workloads with many small files, it usually is better to store many files in a single object. Filesystems with regular POSIX semantics, such as atomic directory renames etc, also makes it easier to integrate with existing software. We have seen a lot of scientific computing usage of our filesystem (https://objectivefs.com) and as you mentioned localized caching of the working set is key to great performance.

> The collective meltdown, bullying, pile-on and emotional responses over a team's decision to drop a layer of tooling is strange.

It should seem strange - that's not what's happening.

People are upset about the decision to drop a layer of tooling, yes. People are also upset about a rush job of ripping out that layer, losing information and deleting documentation. People are also upset about a total disregard of feedback and extremely quick decision merging. These are all very normal things to be upset about.
An ensemble is basically a mix of models for different tasks. One model could be an LLM, another image understanding model etc. Different tasks could be passed to different models or every task could be passed to all models and a result collated etc.

MoE is...well basically a way to have a large model without computing all the parameters at once. So you take several smaller language models and you train them all on subsets of the same dataset. Then you train them to make predictions together. You could train for switching experts at the token level i.e one expert picks one token and another picks the next etc

The "experts" are not clearly delineated or known. One "expert" could be a capital letter expert etc.

People see GPT-4 being MoE and they go "Oh so questions about medicine are being passed to a separate model than questions about say Mathematics etc" but that's a misconception.

Except that most code actually isn't passing around random unnamed objects of unknown type or contents. Their meaning and type are implied clearly enough in many if not most cases by their name and usage.

Hence, the downside is doing a lot of work to describe things we already know whilst making code less readable (or at least longer).

I'm still largely in favor of Typescript, I'm just suggesting to not misrepresent the situation of not having Typescript.

I think worth noting 5% unemployment doesn't necessarily mean an "army of the unemployed", by which I take you to mean a sliver of downtrodden persistently unemployed people.

It's a metric taken by sampling the population and asking if they're looking for a job at that moment. It could equally be every worker looking for a job 2.5 weeks out of the year.

It's obviously somewhere in between those extremes but picks up a lot of the latter as seasonal workers shifting to where there's demand.
> But, I don't know that it's ever truly helped me move faster

It's incredibly helpful to move fast on large projects.

It's not about missing null checks and other simple things. If you change code in one place, that happens to affect code in some far off other place, it won't compile. In JavaScript you would end up with a runtime error and be wondering what is going on. With TypeScript the compiler will tell you right away what the issue is.

I found it incredibly helpful today when we had to completely refactor an Angular service method. I wanted to remove a parameter. It was called in various places, and all I had to do was run the compiler and get back "can't do it, go check XyzComponent.ts line 51" and give me a link to it. I'd click, go right to it, change the call site and repeat. After a few minutes it was compiling again and it was clean.

Sure, you can change function signatures in JavaScript and go and manually find all the places that function is called, but what if you miss one? A really good IDE can probably figure it out, much like they can sort of handle intellisense for raw JavaScript code. But with the compiler you are ensured that you got them all and everything checks out.

That's just one simple example.
