This is really the fatal flaw, 99% of people dont want to think about servers or identities, they just want to open an app and chat.
Good for them. With that kind of gumption I'm sure we'll see them running on a lot of devices, mars landers and practically the entire infrastructure of the internet in no time.
>It's clearly a hard problem to solve when no data exists.

If you read the article, Google had received reports that it was directing drivers to that collapsed bridge at least 2 years prior to this man's death, and google responded saying "they were looking into it".
I really like your approach of treating notes like a pipeline. I keep several lists and I noticed the only useful ones are those where I regularly cross item off and add new items. All other lists end up being cemeteries for ideas
Even that breaks down in different parts of Texas. Go to Austin and see what you think.

I could not disagree more. You can't "opt-in" someone else because they're not opting in at all. I think this is an important and meaningful distinction that we should call out, particularly since we're seeing more companies being deceptive on this point and trying to trick people through this confusing language.
> Someone at Cisco did the math on how much a license would cost and some snarky soul, kin to my own, said "Are we sure it wouldn't be cheaper to buy Splunk?"

That's from a friend of mine in a tech chat.
Judging from BCPL, the successor should just be Y.
In that case, airlines have sub 5% profit margins, so $10,000 / 0.05 = $200k spend on flights before the airline comes close to earning $10k in profit.
That seems kinda too fanciful. Wouldn't it make lot more sense to have the turbine separate and then maybe cover the parkin spots with roofs covered with angled solar panels?
> A CPU typically has <=12 cores and each core computes very quickly. A GPU typically has <=1024 cores and each core computes quickly (but not as quick as a CPU core).

That's not entirely accurate... Cuda "cores" are mostly analogous to a SIMD lanes, which iirc on Nvidia are about 32 registers wide, so 1024/32 = 32 actual individual compute units...

Similarly, most Intel CPUs support AVX which can be 16, or even 32 lanes wide in the case of AVX-512. Which gives you 384 lanes.

There are of course many other details that make the comparison difficult...

Of course the essence of your thinking is in the right direction, but it's just that, in some ways, CPUs and GPUs are have converged more then may be obvious at fitst glance.

I will however take issue with the point that Intel may not be well placed, due to the similarities, along with Intel's experience with GPUs, and projects like Larrabee which eventually became Xeon Phi, they certainly have the technical expertise. Now, if they are institutionally well suited for the task, we'll just have to wait and find out.
One alternative. If you live in VS Code, consider Foam which gets you Roam/Obsidian like flows alongside an LLM (Github Copilot).

I have no affiliation to Foam. It's just awesome.
At my current employer, it is quite difficult to get a new supplier approved into the system, so any time you need to acquire something for work that is not from one of the usual places it is nearly impossible.

Someone must have spotted the opportunity, because we have one particular supplier who is approved, and basically you send them a list of what you want from whatever store/supplier/etc., and they send back a quote for the item(s) which is just the retail price plus a 10% markup. You order the item(s) from this approved supplier, and they just order it from the original source and have it shipped to you. A huge portion of the things that we needed to get for day-to-day usage ended up being ordered through them (software, lab equipment, hardware debuggers, etc).

Seems like a great gig if you can pull it off. Most likely this is just a 1-person outfit where they spend 30 minutes a day placing orders and generating quotes then just take their 10% of everything. I've always wondered if this business was started by someone who formerly worked in the procurement department and added themselves as a supplier before leaving.
You say its doing the opposite, but they you set out that it appears to be doing just that.

You are hoping/wagering that the site defaults to 'no collection if there is no user interaction. Sure they are supposed to do that, but how many do?

I called it the crass version of good advice given in the worst possible way with deceptive context, which is true. I cannot recall a single instance of someone saying the original statement and not meaning some form of what I provided for context in my personal life outside of hollywood movies, where it seems to have become this toxic masculinity trope rather than a failure of explanation likely caused by a failure at heeding the actual advice themselves and reacting emotionally.
And here I thought it was just about functions (arrow type) ;p
The thing that will totally replace splunk (and elastic and snowflake and likely several other whole ecosystems) is some random thing pouring data into clickhouse.

I am nervous about how clickhouse is going to monetize, whenever they decide to turn on the revenue spigot.
At scale it's probably cheaper to just buy the Splunk company than continue to pay their outrageous license and capacity fees.
Yes, both are preferable to the current system.
Mastodon isn't an app, it has apps, but isn't one.

In your parlance, each Mastodon instance is "an app". The real apps, however, many of them can log into multiple accounts and change which account you're posting from.
Sounds common sense until you look at history and remember the New Deal exists.

I love that we have so many choices for editors. VSCode, Vim, NeoVim (+ vim distros like astro etc), emacs (+ emacs distros), Kakoune, Helix etc.

Its awesome to have so many choices so everyone can pick the system that best fits them. It also encourages better tooling that can fit on top of any of these like the Language Server Protocol, TreeSitter etc which benefit everyone.

Thanks to everyone for working on all these projects and tooling, its truly incredible.
I don't think that's the most common cause. Deleting the production database is obviously disastrous but there are many other reasons for extended downtime, and they're usually about the distributed-ness of the underlying architecture.
I used Vector in the Beaker Studio prototype back when it was designed to deploy directly to Ubuntu virtual machines. That was a couple years ago at this point, and it worked wonderfully!
Replaced? No. For the most part native Americans were murdered. Some, quite blatantly, sometimes with literal bounties being set on their heads but more often than not just like a regular "pest" or "dangerous wildlife". Others, more indirectly, through famines brought on by destruction of their food storages or culling of their hunting grounds. And even more died from plagues. They were also repeatedly strongarmed into contracts which were then broken after they had held up their end of the bargain. And of course there were many cases (as recently as the last century) where their children were forcibly removed and placed into Christian boarding schools to "kill the savage, save the child".

I know you probably like to use all of these things as fanciful metaphors to support your argument that "natives" (white people or the Japanese) are now being "replaced" by (incidentally Black and brown) immigrants but these weren't metaphors, these were the real deal. By alluding to these things as metaphors you're masking the real scale and character of these historical atrocities.

No the point is that I'm already doing basically all of my computing (both work and non-work) via web applications. All of the AI integrations into products can happily run on backends rather than locally on my machine. There are exceptions, of course, but this is the state of the bulk of modern computing.
The joke used to be 'splunk is amazing until the first invoice comes in', it's funny because it's true. Note Datadog is very similar in that regard.
Our account didn't see any interruption. Subscriptions processed fine and new subscriptions were processed as well.
This is technically correct, in the Futurama sense of the term.

It also isn't what people actually want, though.
Because they knew they were directing drivers to a collapsed bridge for 2 years and did nothing about it. Sure enough, someone eventually went over it. There is no legal principle saying that both Google and the municipality can't be jointly liable.
It has to be insanely complicated with horrible UX too so probably did not pass.
I find this story hard to believe.
If you go to Google streetview it shows that barriers are indeed present (time stamp of May 2023) as well as significant overgrowth behind said barriers.

Address for the curious is 3844 23rd st ln NE hickory NC

You can even see the barriers on bing maps. They're not big barriers and it looks possible to drive around them.

What I think really happened was Mr Device Salesman in his "jeep gladiator" got cocky and tried to off road his vehicle because hey, it's a Jeep.

Instead the drop in the road was hidden and he drove himself essentially off of a small cliff.

The two problems here are:
1. Blindly following a GPS and not thinking critically about where you are going.
2. Trying to off road a vehicle without investigating the terrain prior to driving.

I'd say this is a potential Darwin award. It's sad but a cautionary tale about not being a thinkless lemming with GPS tools and off roading.

Host your own Mastodon server then, allows you to administrate your own account. Mastodon is federated, so where your account lives has nothing to do with what accounts you reply to and follow, nor has anything to do with who replies and follows you.

Administrators have the limited scope of only their instance.
I've seen people try and do it. It involves each service replicating copies of the data from every service it's dependent on (via CDC streams on kafka/whatever) in its own datastores and reading directly from its copy of data rather than actually calling the source-of-truth service.

There are some instances where that kind of thing is necessary, but...insane amount of clear downsides so your problem statement for doing it had better be pretty compelling.

>According to this post, the INI approach says that the code that reads the value determines what type it should be. That approach means that you never get a problem where NO is a boolean when it should have been an enum, or a version number is a float when it should have been a string

That's a simplistic view.

In practice, there soon wont be just one piece of code reading your files, or it will be shared elsewhere, and it will all depend on implicit semantics and documentation of the assumptions (if you're lucky to have it). Hilarity, chaos, and head scratching ensues.

Whereas with a format that enforces the types, every consumer with a parser for the format gets the same values (to the extended that it matters: a list doesn't suddenly become a string, but in some language it might be a vector and in another an array).
We're still waiting for our "react" moment on the backend; a fundamental shift in the abstractions we treat as the bedrock of our applications.

I think the author does a good job here showing why the state machine might just be that abstraction.
I kinda get where the author is coming from. Everyone is rushing over themselves to try and "fix" configuration file formats by adding more and more complexity so we humans can express more complex data types into configuration files.

Nowadays TOML is the new hotness, 6 years ago it was YML, 9 years ago it was JSON and before that XML was our alledged savior.

Ultimately there's no one perfect solution, but INI does have one thing going for it: it is dead simple. It has no type system and it leaves it up to the application to convert a set of key/value string pairs (grouped by a header) into something meaningful rather than attempting to guess and spitting out unexpected surprises.

Contrast to XML which has 50 ways to say the same thing depending on what tickles your fancy, YML which is probably the configuration language with the fastest footguns in the West or TOML which attempts to express fairly complicated data types into a configuration file without questioning if that's even useful for 99% of the configuration files.

The only one that is close to equal in simplicity is JSON, which only allows booleans, numbers, strings and arrays/dictionaries. Really I think the only reason why JSON failed the "human-written configuration file" contest is because spec-compliant implementations forbid comments. This being mostly because the author of the spec wanted to avoid JSON (de)serializers from putting custom logic in them.

(Although I'll note that JSON specifically tends to have the most non-spec-compliant libraries that have a looser stance on it and allow in-line comments using javascripts rules, at least in my experience and even has a bunch of dedicated offshoot specs that are basically "JSON but with comments".)
One part of me can't wait for this hype cycle to be over. But another part of me wants to make bank off all these idiots investing in AI.
Proxmox doesn't do the virtualisation, that's KVM. That's the hypervisor. I'm not sure why you find this so difficult to understand.

You told me to, "Try It". I have. Many times, I told you about them and you despite that you think I'm attaching a linked in. I'm answering the thing you told me.

Not sure what 'energy' you're going on about, if you reread this you might realise you're the one being a bit obtuse.

You're also making up stuff I might potentially say, whilst also admitting I'm probably right, which says a lot about you imho. Maybe work from the things people say, not what you think they say in your head.

I hope you find inner peace, but for reference, proxmox is a management layer using libvirt, which interacts with the hypervisor, KVM. Jeez...
I saw this YouTube video about some historical document from the middle ages (maybe the dark ages?). It was a set of journals/diaries written by a pretty normal guy who lived during the reformation. At first he was documenting the social changes that were going on but pretty soon his journal became a hodgepodge of personal anecdotes, descriptions of his fellow towns folks, gossip and rumors, etc.

One thing that was interesting to me was that he kept a list of amusing anecdotes. The guy was trying to move up in life, so he was doing his best to network with the wealthy elite of his town. He had a personal database of jokes and amusing stories that he could bring up, I guess hoping to gain favor or friendship with the right people.

I've thought about this kind of activity a lot. Not all writing is meant to be for distribution. This guy wasn't writing to compile a tell-all exposé of his tiny provincial town. He was writing entirely for his own selfish benefit.

As curious as it may sound, I can totally understand wanting to hook up an AI to this kind of personal database. Something to make my anecdotes a bit more funny. Or to connect rumors in a way to give me the best gossip.

It reminds me of how VIP type people often have some intern or research assistant who feeds them personal details of the people they are going to meet, so the VIP can warmly ask "How is your daughter Sally?" when shaking hands with someone who is actually a stranger to them.

Not all knowledge is a product. If you see knowledge as a service then these kind of tools make a bit more sense.
Avoid Exabeam. Their UEBA product is riddled with problems, and they are not concerned that it does not display timestamps for when the event occurred- they display timestamps for event ingestion which can sometimes be hours off.

They also seem to outsource much of the development, maintenance and support and appear to have high turnover.
I mean, I'm sure I will be dismissed since it's just my word and nothing else. But yes, people are buying and selling these, just not at the insane volumes as peak mania 2 years ago.

It's easy to dismiss these sales as wash trades, and I'm sure at least some of them are, but most of them are not. The NFT space has dwindled down largely to a a group of enthusiasts that like gamifying NFT mechanics, generative artists and generative collectors (no I'm not talking about monkey pics), as well as some people who managed to make a bunch of money during the bull market and not lose it all and they continue to refine their holdings expecting a future crypto bull market.

Institutions like the big auction houses and a few galleries still facilitate NFT sales as a few NFT artists and generative artists have been able to successfully bridge into the art world.

I agree though that on a long enough time line, 99% of NFTs will absolutely become worthless if they aren't already. This is true of many types of collectibles. Ultimately this is a good thing, but I'm certain that there will be a community of dedicated creators and collectors that remain as long as the government doesn't squash crypto completely.
That's his schtick. He pisses on your leg and tells you it's raining.

The theories behind newer layouts are solid I think, but I’ve avoided adopting them simply because if I don’t regularly use QWERTY, my capacity for using machines other than my own suddenly takes a steep nosedive.

My preferred layout is HHKB/Tsangan, a minor variant on QWERTY that replaces Caps Lock with Control, moves Esc to the number row, collapses F-keys into a number row layer, and moves Backspace down where backslash/pipe are and even with that standard keyboards can be frustrating (you don’t realize how hard standard Esc and Backspace positions are to reach until you’ve tried this layout). I can’t imagine what it’d be like if I were using DVORAK or something.

The data that is queried by POST through GraphQL is the same that used to have cache disabled on older web applications. You just do not want to cache that, you want to reload it every time the user asks for a reload.

This is not the problem.

The problem that the GP is pointing out is that modern frontends seem to break the data all over the place, and request each piece independently. GraphQL allows solving this problem, but on practice nobody uses it that way because it breaks the abstractions your frontend framework gives you.

Anyway, this entire discussion is on a weird tangent from the article. If you (not the parent, but you reading this) don't cache your static assets forever (with guarantees that this won't break anything), then you should really read the article.
Kokuriko-zaka Kara was really good though. Better than Miyazaki's earlier work (Sherlock Hound, Conan, Lupin). I find them very simple and mediocre compared to anything of that time or even 60's anime like 009.

I think you misunderstand the joy and pride that is an animator, which is in the nuances of the actual creation process which Stable Diffusion removes. We can also compare this to western shows like Arcane, where despite 3d modeling the shading and lighting was done by hand, to immense pride of the animators.

The problem with AI has been always that it removes from the artist the act the artist finds joy in, the work to create a beautiful final product, and leaves only the most boring and meh parts: contract negotiation, right fights, pay and attribution concerns, etc.
If a school knows that a child must be kept away from their abusive mother, for example, that is what is being lumped in with "surveillance" here. I'm saying the worst cases of surveillance are not appropriate to judge what the school is doing. We should judge what the school is doing on its own merits/demerits.
