>On Ubuntu you do have this option, you just have to set it up yourself.

Which means it's not available. Technically my car can also go diving underwater, you just have to set it up yourself for that.

I expect stuff on my OS to work out of the box, not require hours of dangerous tinkering with the risk of braking, to get something basic to work.

>They don't prioritize support for it because "people who want to hibernate a laptop" is a rounding error in their customer population statistics.

I mean, it's feature that I absolutely use on Windows regularly, which means it matters a lot to me, the userbase of 1, to have it on Linux as well, I don't really care what the opinionated Ubuntu dev team think on the way I'm supped to use my own computer.
I've been using Wayland on Manjaro/Sway for the last 6 months. Zero issues beyond figuring out the new way of doing things.

As a former X11 application developer I will say that X11 should have been put out to pasture a long time ago. It's been moribund since the 00s and the quicker that distributions move to Wayland only, the quicker Wayland will improve.
Unless a company is doing a computationally expensive thing (like deep learning, or big data crunching etc) or the domain is commoditized/low value then the opex should be an inconsequential amount, and only at massive scale does it become worth optimizing (relative to the cost of engineer's time to do that optimization).

Optimizing for runtime speed can be a product advantage though, but in my experiences are usually unimportant so long as it's not absurdly inefficient.
The west censors things just as much as china does nowadays. The difference is that in china the connection to the state is much more clearer, whereas in the west the establishment at large creates pseudo-policy regarding what to be censored and not.

Essentially, china is good old fashioned censorship, whereas the west has turned it's censorship into a debate about what is misinformation, anti-democratic, or even just calling it hate.

subtitle: "Even with generous green subsidies, offshore wind projects are being called off as developers struggle to make a profit"

'Offshore wind farms should be one of the best solutions to the climate crisis but are turning out to be a lousy business. Getting the struggling industry back on its feet will require a new approach from companies and politicians alike.

The public face of the dilemma is Ørsted, a former oil and gas producer that became the world’s largest offshore wind-farm developer. The Danish company’s stock has lost more than $10 billion, or a third of its market value, since warning last week that it may take impairments of up to $2.3 billion on its U.S. projects. On Tuesday, ratings provider Moody’s downgraded the stock, a further challenge for a company that, like a property developer, needs debt to fund its plans.

Ørsted won contracts to develop wind farms off the coasts of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey in late 2018 and 2019. Since committing to sell the power from these projects at a fixed price, permitting delays, rising costs and higher interest rates have torched the returns it expected to make.'
This made me laugh pretty good, but it's been my opinion for a long time.
May I ask how much you were paying Stackpath per year, as Akamai "welcomed" you aboard and I don't think they are doing that for all customers?
I agree, all systems need some slack.
> The Grindr data is essentially a blackmail gold mine.

More than that. It's leaked before.[1] Grindr data was used to catch a senior US Catholic official:

"... an analysis of app data signals correlated to Burrill’s mobile device shows the priest also visited gay bars and private residences while using a location-based hookup app in numerous cities from 2018 to 2020, even while traveling on assignment for the U.S. bishops’ conference."

“On Monday, we became aware of impending media reports alleging possible improper behavior by Msgr. Burrill. What was shared with us did not include allegations of misconduct with minors. However, in order to avoid becoming a distraction to the operations and ongoing work of the Conference, Monsignor has resigned effective immediately,”[2]

This partnership makes me want to remove tailscale from my stack and instead use wireguard directly. Leaves a bad impression. Fighting against my instinct and telling myself I'm irrational. Tailscale is one of the first things I install on every machine. It's so good. But this partnership erodes trust, doesn't build it.
And honestly 1.3T doesn’t… seem like much? Meh. Not concerned.
Slightly off topic, but

Math.

Data.

They need to be explained. Even then, people have to understand their fundamentals to understand the explanation. You can't make a soundbite out of math.

"Chicago got suckered!!!"

There, you see. No explanations necessary. You can fit it into a 20 second political commercial. You can plaster it on Social Media. Doesn't matter whether or not it's factually correct.

You math and data guys are just doomed to lose every argument if you insist on employing only well reasoned and data backed introspection in public discourse. That's just not how the average US citizen works. (Nor even the average HN User to be honest. Look at the comments on this thread.)

Best to try to find someway to put the analysis into a soundbite. I don't claim to know what that would look like, but it would work better in public discourse. Summarize all of what you just said, and then add in the cost of the city running the program fully on its own. (Seventy five years worth of utilities, maintenance, salaries, pensions, sick leave etc.) That way people compare cost to opportunity cost right away, and see the point you're making.
Steam downloads are always very CPU intensive for me, it seems to need about 1 core per 100 megabit/s. I'm guessing they're using somewhat slow compression, perhaps LZMA. Likewise, game file validation is CPU limited (it only uses a single thread) at around 500 MB/s for me. Probably an outdated algorithm choice as well.
Think both of those actions are open camera app?
The alternative would pretty much be an end to startup innovation, since a large company with a team of lawyers could just claim that any new product that threatens them is a copy in some way and destroy the startup with legal bills regardless of whether there's any merit to the claims.

Being copied sucks, and I agree that it should be looked down upon culturally, but I think "just execute better" really is the right answer. It's better for consumers and ultimately better for entrepreneurs too.
It makes sense to prioritize tackling low hanging fruit with solutions that we know to work rather than ones that inconvenience us and make us feel like we're doing something, but don't actually do anything. The only benefit the LA Times article mentions is that there are fewer plastic bags found on beaches, but since "reusable" grocery bags are significantly heavier than the old disposable ones, I'm not convinced it's actually any better in that aspect as well.
Did you miss this bit above?:

> As a female founder, having my app rejected by YC with this product, it just makes me angry.
I don't want to open my home network to just anybody, so I have a "jumpbox" that is the lowest-end shared VM at Hetzner. It runs nginx, dnsmasq, and Wireguard; my home servers connect to it, I add other peers as I need to, and dnsmasq resolves the hostnames using Zeroguard IPs for the home network.

I have 3 sets of DNS entries for the home lab servers:

1. "internal"/home network addresses (e.g. your 192.168.x.x)
2. Wireguard addresses (e.g. 10.0.x.x)
3. public DNS entries that all resolve to the jumpbox

The purpose of #3 is to support simple Letsencrypt setup: nginx on jumpbox forwards Letsencrypt requests to the internal servers over the Wireguard connection.

Internally, I use a https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy setup, so that any time I want a new service running inside the home lab I just have to:

1. Pick a hostname and add it to public DNS
2. Configure its Docker container to add the environment variables that nginx-proxy looks for
3. Add the hostname to the jumpbox /etc/hosts
4. Add the hostname to internal LAN DNS

It's a little much but I like how it works. It's not so bad to get setup.
I don't know about that. I work in security, as a service to customers, but we have a running gag about "the real security people" who give you a phone call if you accidentally step off the path on your work machine.
I completely forgot it was written in Zig. Thanks for the heads up. I completely agree, I don't see how this can be labeled 1.0 release.
> For a decade, people in wafer fab hoped there would be some other way to do this. Small synchrotrons. X-ray lasers. E-beam machines. But those approaches all fizzled out. So what ought to be a physics experiment run occasionally was hammered into being a production technology.

Now I'm imaging some retro-50s (ala Fallout) setting where the fancy chipmaking machines use bomb-pumped x-ray lasers. Swords into ploughshares taken too far? Maybe, but who cares!
The way it does this isn't by paying workers more than competitors do for the same work. It's by charging customers less than competitors do, which actually selfishly benefits them by increasing their market share, but also distributes more wealth to workers because you can buy more for the same dollar (or the same amount of stuff and add to your savings or pay down debt).

What prevents this is uncompetitive markets, which are occasionally found as a result of natural monopolies, and more commonly found as a result of regulatory capture.
AutoCAD is a great example of something that gives both options.

New users tend to get really involved with the buttons, but gradually shift to full text control over years.

Obviously in CAD sometimes you cannot enter coordinates and must grab the mouse... but it's still faster if you minimize use of the mouse.
It states clearly in the article the goal was to acquire debug symbols for Ms, Citrix, and others with the goal of reverse engineering. If you have been following Citrix, their Netscaler product has been the subject of multiple high severity vulnerabilities, and they sit in mission critical networks. From here the most likely move is their most common, ransomware, the proceeds from which they use to fund parts of their military.
> The top shows that single-core performance is the bottleneck, and all CPU is consumed by ksoftirqd.

Trying out VPP instead of Linux kernel networking might make some sense: https://fd.io

It will likely reach the target performance, although the NIC requirements need to be rechecked.

But... well, this software is not for the faint of heart ;)
> If you fully disabled password authentication

It is not fully disabled, my dads account has a password for sftp.

Its covered more in part 1 (linked at the start of the blog post) but the repeated attempts at ssh'ing into my server actually killed sshd (which is how I found out about it).

The other problem is that this "server" is hosted on a residential connection in my computer room. This is just something I don't want to deal with and using a VPN fixes that since I do not need to deal with it, and its easy enough for my dad to use
10Mbps is barely enough to send the ACKs on a 250Mbps download. Maybe it's fine as a dedicated connection, but you might not want to be hosting anything on your home connection.
> At that point, why not just increase the level of social security?

I was mostly thinking in the context of state governments in creating their existing multi-employer DB plans making that policy choice, but, yes, the Feds could also expand SS contribution and benefits to make it a universal first-line pension instead of a near-universal safety net pension.
> third-world living conditions [...]

I know that the phrase has gained an orthogonal meaning since the cold war, but if we use the original one it's funny to call what's arguably the only remaining second-world country "third-world".
Putting experience and expertise about a matter of taste on a pedestal is nonsense.

I don't share many values with movie critics. Here's an spicy example that will mark me as a philistine forever.

I think Princess Mononoke was an awful film with a navel gazing director who gets treated far too kindly because of a childish desire for "whimsy". Everytime I see a Ghibli pusher here, I laugh.

No movie critic will engage with such a perspective (because it is "wrong", the movie is "powerful", the art is "beautiful" and the characters are "strong" — every one of which is literally a matter of interpretation). Depending on critics is depending on people who have to satisfy their local equivalent of the Reddit front page. Why would you trust them except to know the current rightthink?

It's not the same as a scientist describing climate change or an engineer explaining the loads on a bridge.
If we can't limit GHGs from burning fossil fuels for energy, we aren't going to magic our way out of this situation by producing more junk.

How are we going to get it out of the ground, transport it to petroleum processing facilities to convert it into useful forms, transfer it to manufacturing facilities (usually halfway across the world) for product creation, transport it (back across the world) to regional and then local distribution hubs, transport it from store to consumer's home, and then collect it all in order to transport it and process it further still to get it buried like you suggest?

By burning fossil fuels for energy at every link in that chain, and probably half a dozen more I couldn't think of off the top of my head.

There is also a notion that in a measly 1,500 years, humanity would probably have incredible uses for plastics and other petroleum materials beyond our wildest dreams, and have the technology and institutional wisdom to make use of them without bludgeoning our atmosphere and various biomes to death in the process. But if we are too far gone on our path of burning our planet to a crisp, and we've already pulled all the oil out the ground in the process, well, that's going to really kind of suck. I get it, from a highly idealized and abstract perspective your proposal makes some sense.

But the practical reality is that ramping up wasteful activities, even if we do so very cleverly and strategically, is not going to get us anywhere but where we already are.
When I was living in a country that was putting up credible threats of large fines for ISPs reselling my data, I never really saw the need for a VPN.
Moral reasoning displays characteristic patterns in the brain
The article discusses how agonizing it must be for a guesser when they have to say no to something. But something I have been dealing with recently is actually the reverse—the resentment a guesser feels when told “no”. Because in their mind, they have done the math and think they have correctly deduced they should receive a “yes”. Forthwrmore, since they don’t like saying “no”, they project this on their rejector and take it personally.

As a diehard “asker” I can’t help but see “guessing” as narcissistic. Why would you presume you know what I want? Of course from the other side “asking” can be seen as self centered—why can’t they read the room?
> do you remember how happy and fun life was when you were teens?

What an absolutely insane question. Tell me you were popular in high school without telling me you were popular in high school.
The US has built lots of transportation infrastructure over the last 50 years, including astounding amounts of highways.

I think the bigger issues here are (1) a regulatory environment that heavily disfavors mass transit, and (2) a suburban (and, increasingly, urban) culture that prefers isolation to the risk of "undesirables" brought into their neighborhoods by mass transit.

As a small example of this: DC's metro was conceived a little over 50 years ago, and opened its first line about 47 years ago[1]. It's still expanding, and yet many of its stations are inconveniently placed because the communities it served didn't want DC's plurality black population entering their segregated suburbs[2].

Dsvpn (Dead Simple VPN)
I'm very open minded, and have some pretty crazy ideas about reality (just look at my comment history), and in fact practice nondual meditation, which is grounded in the idea that everything is mind, and there is no separation between objective and subjective reality. Pretty magical stuff.

But topics have scope. I still find value in science. I recognize that science is just the map and not the territory, and is not a final answer about any truth. Within the confines of science itself though, there are an internal set of rules that keep it consistent. Intermingling two systems only confuses the issue. I don't use dzogchen nondual meditation to analyze chemical reactions, and I don't use science to analyze the qualia of my personal experience.

That being said, there is room for going up a level and seeing where the two systems might synergize or interact, but it requires a lot of thought and effort. It's not just something you come up with off the cuff. Magic in the Harry Potter sense may exist but until there is some mechanism for measuring it and understanding it, there's no room for it within scientific methods.

It's a metaphysical issue to intertwine the two ideas, not a physical one.
‘Occupied by the US’: wildfires renew Native Hawaiian call for sovereignty
>As disaster capitalists descend on Lahaina, Indigenous Hawaiians fight for self-governance
The U.S. is capable of building transit infra. We are incapable of overcoming multiple nesting, competing, and ensnared layers of local, regional, state, and federal bureaucracies to actually get them built, even when there is a taxpayer desire/mandate for such projects.
It outputs both - { isLikelySpam: boolean, reason: string }

Then we have an inbox app (also made in Retool) that our support team uses to manually review any submissions that are isLikelySpam = true. The <reason> helps to understand why it was flagged.

Our use case is for a form builder (https://fillout.com) but I imagine this type of use case is pretty common for any app that has user-generated content
Yeah, it's pretty normal that software companies, perhaps with the exception of those with large datacenter footprints but probably even them, have people as their largest cost.
Privacy.com does it too, like Blur.

And Capital One has it too, less configurable though.

BofA used to have it. I remembers that it was a Flash popup window. But it's gone now, guess it was cheaper to sunset than to rewrite in Javascript.
This does not always work. For example: Knock Down The House started off with an excellent audience score and stayed that way for about a year...until Tucker Carlson mentioned it on his show and then it plummeted to its current score. So how can you infer whether the quality is good?
Well another way to think about it is that onboarding new folks is the only way to really check if your following a sane software development practice.

If it takes folks more than a few months to onboard, you probably have too many rules, standards or other processes that are pointless. There a multiple exceptions but if you can’t onboard folks fast your management team is either incompetent or they don’t pay developers enough to care who learns.
I haven’t been attacked by a deer, but I’ve had a scary encounter. Came around a corner on my mountain bike and a very large male deer, in season, with a huge rack was aggressively staring me down from 30 yards.

Also had encounters with yaks that were scarier than that (and I know of incidents with cows/bulls).

It seems people think of deer as giant harmless bunny rabbits. But you can get into situations where the big animal with horns feels trapped and threatened and shows you their horns. Bluff charges are a real thing, they show you what’s up.

Fortunately I’ve never actually been charged by an animal, and I’ve seen bears, mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, yaks, deer, etc at close range in the wild. 99.9% of the time they are just as surprised to see you and book it. Except big cats—they just walk off like bosses.
Careful, AI has been known to lie.
I'll admit it was news to me that Cycorp is still around! There's an interesting thread here that provides some insight from former/current employees into what they are actually doing nowadays.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21781597

There's also a lengthy Lex Fridman interview with Doug Lenat, from just a year ago, here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wMKoSRbGVs

It seems as if the "common sense expert system" foundation of CYC (the mostly unstated common knowledge behind all human communication) was basically completed, but what has failed to materialize is any higher level comprehensive knowledge base and reasoning system (i.e some form of AGI) based on top of this.

It's not clear from the outside whether anyone working at Cycorp still really believes there is a CYC-based path to AGI, but regardless it seems not to be something that's really being funded and worked on, and 40 years on probably fair to say it's not going to happen. It seems that Cycorp stays alive by selling the hype and winning contracts to develop domain-specific expert systems, based on the CYC methodology and toolset, that really have little reliance on the "common sense" foundations they are nominally built on top of.
You sound like someone who hasnt worked very long in the industry. Being realistic anout failure allows one to build better products. Simplicity and maintainability and most important replacability. Allows a software to fail and not the business
I don't think that has much bearing on my question of ranking server costs with other costs (which I don't know the answer to, I'm just saying it's a cost among all the others cited). Further, I think their app is pretty popular so it does require some of that optimized engineering on the server side.
I see. You don't think taxes should go to anything you don't directly use. A libertarian.
The price of 25GbaseT (rj45) is still very high. 10GbaseT (rj45) is coming down very nicely though and some motherboards, routers and high end access points have 10g ports onboard. I think it's actually cheaper to go 40gbps QSFP and run MPO cables (4 pairs internally) than it is to go 25g fiber. This is pretty much the case in datacenter right now for anything that doesn't need to go over 300M.
What if specialized smaller models is the best way ahead for community. I don't care if I am interacting with one big model which can do everything or I have to go to different websites to access specific models. All model sizes will be useful. Smaller models will be frequently used. Bigger less so.
I agree, I feel like it's being used similar to "woke" and "anti-woke".
Yeah, I mean, its a pretty basic application of the general recommender-system concept, there's probably lots of places where there is an approximation of it for movies.
It's actually the technical term that is used in this context.

It's used when you don't know the scale.

You can estimate all the geometry 'up to' but not including a scale term.

> and know how high something is or just know some depth or distances

There you go: you just added in some extra information to constrain the scale estimate as I described.
