Hey! Leave my physique out of this...
Maybe the real problem is that there exists a system design to allow querying a person's family connections to police interactions. This isn't even just convictions, but basically any accusations or investigations. The wording is kind of vague, but I think this framing is supported by the article.

The existence of such a system just seems dystopian.

Seems entirely reasonable that issues of domestic violence should be known to schools, but this goes way beyond that.

It's only a matter of time before more public institutions manufacture reasons to use the same system. Surely the NIH should know about your police interactions before treating you.
Bike lockers are expensive and take up space. The Dutch have multilevel parking for bikes, but it is manned.

Law enforcement actually caring about bike theft and having resources to crack down on bike thieves would help, but these days they don’t have room in jails for bike thieves, and they are considered a low priority along with shoplifters and drug dealers.
thats what strictyaml does
You have to be careful with this though. The static site hosts mentioned provide "atomic deploys" which means that old assets will be removed from the live site when the next deploy happens. This means that users requesting a hashed file name after the next deployment happens will be greeted with a 404. So your choice with these providers is to pick between a stale asset or a 404. In many cases a stale asset is preferable (especially for fonts and CSS which are typically at least mostly compatible between updates). And if you aren't hashing your assets then you will want to keep the revalidation behaviour (or at least keep the cache time short).

This gets much worse if you do any sort of lazy loading such as images that get loaded as the user scrolls or client-side routing which loads the next page dynamically using a hashed script file.

I wrote a blog post about these problems a while ago: https://kevincox.ca/2021/08/24/atomic-deploys/
bridge: I wish there was decent documentation on how to configure & use Linux's vlan-aware bridge functionality ('bridge vlan' command). I understand it means that you don't have to create separate vlan interfaces but I've never found decent documentation on how to configure it.

macvlan: is VEPA mode still a thing that people use, or did it not take off (in terms of switches that support it--last time I looked I didn't find anything newer than about 10 years old that talked about VEPA but maybe I suck at searching?)

macvlan: 'bridge' sounds really convenient, if you try it you'll find that the host can't communicate with macvtap interfaces.

macvtap: does this suffer from the same limitation as macvlan in 'bridge' mode (host can't communicate with mactvap interfaces?
In the US, there are protected classes (skin color, political biases from your list, as well as others) that you cannot discriminate on. Being accused of a crime (not convicted) isn't one of those.

More importantly though, Google hasn't banned Brand, they've removed ads from his videos. Advertisers are very sensitive about where their ads show up. This is why X/Twitter has struggled so much under Musk - major companies don't want their brand next to certain kinds of content.

Not serving ads along Brand's content isn't gate keeping. It's not sending advertisers (and their dollars) to someone embroiled in a scandal. Just like how he's probably not getting lots of calls right now to host award shows, star in films, or be the face of company advertising.

Google is protecting their revenue stream, which is completely unsurprising to me.
It can go as high as 500–1500x compared to some competitors. I wonder how amazing Splunk is to be worth the price tag.
Its not free nor is it low cost. The bill is paid by the taxpayer and costs are very high hence why food delivery is correctly perceived as a luxury.

Large companies vacuuming up benefits is the rule not exception hence why its a bad idea to create blank check situations. To give an example many of you may* sympathise with, look at military contracts. Its structured as costs plus so these contractors are incentived to increase the costs to increase their profit. This would be upside down in a free market where your heavily incentived to decrease costs.

Really interesting framework for thinking about backend systems. I've been messing around with LLMs, and there's a real need to check and constrain outputs when building anything rigorous. I've only been working through static workflows, but can imagine it only gets more complex if the workflow changes dynamically based on the LLM output. I wonder if this state-machine-based back end is a good way to better manage that.
> I'm still noodling on what that ideal program could be, outside of the obvious graphics processing.

Well machine learning does its computations on GPUs much like shaders. It's basically the same thing with a different function in the kernel:

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index....

"CUDA C++ extends C++ by allowing the programmer to define C++ functions, called kernels, that, when called, are executed N times in parallel by N different CUDA threads, as opposed to only once like regular C++ functions."

I don't understand this point. It seems to me that the longer we wait for a collapse to happen, the worse it will be (as fewer resources will be left for rebuilding civilization).

What's the benefit of it happening in our children's lifetimes instead of our own, except for the fact that we get to continue unsustainable consumption a bit longer, rather than trying to change things?

You don't need to be taught again and again, you should just know it. I haven't had to install it in years but I bet I can get an usable system in 10 minutes.

I wouldn't mind a graphical installer but my point is that the install process reflects the experience of actually using it - it's a tinkerer's system, and from time to time you'll need to spend an hour reading the Wiki. If you're not willing to do it for the install, you'd probably also be miserable using the damn thing - the system is honest with what it is from the get go, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

> Schools using the TFE app receive alerts about children’s and family members’ contact with police, antisocial behaviour and domestic violence incidents. The system also gives schools access to sensitive personal details about families’ financial situations.

Financial situations? That sounds like they're monitoring what's easy to monitor, even if defending against domestic violence was the original intention.

That said, "we joined up thinking" is definitely a valid argument for much of what the UK is doing right now.

For those not following UK news: a large number of schools had to be closed this month due to people finally started paying attention to the fact that reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete lasted 30 years but had been installed 50 years ago.

Monitoring that would have been sensible… but they'd have needed joined-up thinking to have noticed the problem had started happening in the 90s. (Thus making it one of the few cases where one can legitimately also spread blame to the previous Labour government even though the Conservatives have been in power for the last 13 years).

In the U.S. I think Indians have a terrible time with immigration, I think because we have quotas per country that are the same for the size of the country and India is such a large country.

It's particularly a problem because so many Indian immigrants are highly educated, speak good English and are ready to jump into high-tech jobs so from a selfish viewpoint the U.S. would benefit greatly from having more of them.

Instead many of them are struggling to get green cards, stuck in H-1B hell, etc.
Founder of reclaim.ai, can confirm major issues going on.
I don't think age-based inequality makes the sense you think it does. Only a minority of older people are wealthy, imo, and mostly out of a function of the fact earning power accrues over time. But plenty of elderly people are actually homeless or forced to go back to working at Dollar General and Walmart.

It would be more accurate to target wealth inequality, which will disproportionately target the old wealthy people by nature (and also younger people who are wealthy through wealthy prior generation).
> worst uses of surveillance in general do not apply to this case

So only the "pretty bad" uses of surveillance apply and that's ok? Not sure I understand your point.
Great point! State machines are a really nice way to orchestrate multi-step LLM invocations.

They're also a great way for LLMs to produce code. It's human-readable so you can vet that it's doing what you want it to and it's high-level enough that the remaining bits to fill in tend to be small functions that AI can easily generate.

If telemetry is so valuable these companies should give you discounts or payments for enabling it instead of sneaking in like a thief in the night to take it.

A lot of modern software seems overloaded with dark patterns to trick users into unintended actions that make the company more money. I suspect for many companies telemetry's real value is for marketing research and A/B testing the effectiveness of the latest dark pattern implementations.
It might have been a rabid wolf, which would explain the aggression. And the duration was probably exaggerated. If the fight lasted a while, like 10 minutes, then the knight could've died from exhaustion or heat stroke afterwards. If we assume "died in the fight" was also exaggerated, we could include blood loss that went untreated (everyone else was busy fleeing). If he died that night or the next day, then infections are possible killers.

This is an odd one, as it means that OFCOM are now regulating private citizens for the first time, to the best of my knowledge. Hmm, apart from Ham Radio Licenses, I guess.
That’s datacenter compute for you, and they’ll sell a bunch of them. One simple reason (of many) - a lot of enterprise licenses are tied to CPU count and those licenses can be extremely expensive. You can save money on the licenses by buying fewer, higher speed CPUs, and in many cases it can offset the increase in CPU cost.

Thanks. In the video around 2:40, he describes it as a “kindergarten for robots”, that’s an interesting way to think about it.

That way you bid on the task you want and someone who solves it gets a bounty and everyone benefits? The point is there’s a long tail of tasks and a centralized lab probably can’t do them all.

Gitness: Open-Source Code Hosting and CI/CD Pipeline Engine
I'm a bit younger than you but not much. I looked at Erlang when I learned Elixir because it's handy to be able to read the source code of some modules or understand some examples. There is usually a 1:1 transposition between the two languages. That is, they are the same language with different syntax and a very simple way to translate between them.

That said, Elixir is nicer to read but I was spoiled by Ruby. Erlang is nicer than most of the stuff of the 80s though.

However I wish the Elixir team had more courage and did without all the boilerplate of those handle casts and calls in servers. They used macros to do all sort of things, so I guess they could use them to bury that complexity into the depths of the language and let us use real function names to call servers. It would start to open a gap between Elixir and Erlang but it would be worth it.

> that effectively user privacy is secondary to child protection

i think you should have the right to protect your child from the government, given the nature of things that people abuse bureaucracy to achieve today. there are blatant infringements on freedom of religion

so the government wants to decide what is and isn't harmful to children

why do they want this? because they screwed up with immigration. the elite circles of the government assumed the immigrants would assimilate with time, but that goal has not been achieved. so it seems like they're taking the dystopian approach to fixing a problem rather than admitting they were wrong in the first place, and their dystopian solution is to decide what is "harmful to children"
This is not actually dissonant!

HN is mostly a place where technologists gather, not corporate heads of IT or other business people. This is especially true of the subset of users who actively participate rather than only reading.

And it is not unusual in the least for an enterprise product to be wildly profitable but not admired by technologists. Indeed, it's the default; Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, etc.

What is interesting is to look for examples of things that break this mold, that are both profitable and mostly admired. Frankly, I can't think of any... All the ones I can think of were out-competed and either acquired and ruined or just run out of business. Maybe RedHat is the closest example... I'm not sure though.
Spot on. I also work in a 100+ year old gigantic corporation with big money and we are also moving off Splunk due to rising costs. Enterprise customers do not just pay whatever the sales folks ask for. Splunk is dead growth wise if they don’t fix their pricing.
Purely marketing from front to back. It's a little bit similar to how AMD spent too much time on R&D for a "true quad-core" processor (which ended up being Phenom) back in the late aughts (2008 or so?). Intel kinda glued two dual-core CPUs together and beat them to market with a "quad-core" processor, securing dominance for about 15 years. I used the Phenom IIx4 for almost that entire 15 year period - it was really great! But they didn't sell that many.

Unfortunately it seems like fiscal success in 2023 mostly means jumping on the hype train of the day and beating the drum for all it's worth, and being ready to pivot to the next thing quickly. Rather than maximizing actual value in your product.
