> That's why customers line up to pay for it: to get their traffic flow only through private networks instead of through the wild.

I believe their point is that it doesn't flow through "the wild" in any case, it is probably routing within the Azure AS(aka Microsoft controlled networks). However, as you say, people line up to pay for it, likely for reasons having to do with their architecture/security model/compliance requirements.

That's a little unfair since those things predate Google's existence. Nobody's that fast to market.
And by that, you are telling google you liked that result (by clicking on it), even if in the end ads revenue is not increased by your visit.
Maybe Google consider less important signals coming from ad-blocking browsers, that I don't know.
Can you write alerting rules in Prometheus syntax also? And use with Prometheus alert manager?
I think OpenResty uses Lua to implement advanced features not available in Nginx core. Angie aims to implement non-core features in C without Lua.
> here is no magic to capitalism, only greed

It certainly was magical after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe to be able to visit capitalist countries and wonder at the shelves full of products and the countless affordable offers.

Starving under communism on the other hand was not magical at all. We were told incessantly that we were making the world a better place, improving the society unlike the evil capitalism that was destroying everything - but we were starving.

Funny enough the capitalist countries looked better and were less polluted too. Turns out rich societies tend to care more about the environment and invest accordingly too.
There is a hard price floor. They have to pay the Bing/Google search API costs.
I think it is probably possible, but certainly not at current scale and how "AI" is currently done.

You would probably need a _redondant_, excrutiatingly fast (I think a few orders of magnitude higher than what we have today), 3D (much less space constraint), neural net of the size of the tesla gigafactory (with probably its own redondant massive power source), with real time complex and rich input/outputs (eyes, hands, more sensors, internet, mobility?) "trained"/"interacted with" for years (you know, like a child). It will need a very different "model" from what we have today (stability will probably be a nightmare to achieve, even mimicing more closely the human brain in this area), and several interations will probably be required which each could last years. Of course, if it reaches "consciousness", switching it off will be murder.

The outcome is not predictible and could be very dangerous, because that guy may not like us, really not (ez to find reasons), kind of crazy, and be "beyond" us.

It will be built if we, the humanity, are unable to find in sciences and/or maths a "way out" when assured destruction is "near" (before big space stations and/or space ships I guess, you know, end of the world). But that will be a worldwide scale effort with the best mathematicians/scientists we will have at this time.

... or it is weaponized "in some ways" by a large military country.

SWIFT as in the Fintech/banking thing? It's amazing how fast my memory of things goes after I switch jobs, I had to ask ChatGPT to refresh my memory.

"""
SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is a global messaging network used by banks and financial institutions to securely and efficiently exchange information, particularly for international money transfers and transactions. SWIFT codes are used to identify banks and facilitate the transfer of funds between them. It plays a crucial role in international banking and financial communication.
"""

I didn't know SWIFT was involved at all in crypto stuff, at least not directly. I guess finance is the world's most interconnected network, however, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
Exactly. It's not like you suddenly have no more use for video cameras or microphones. The "king" of cheap webcams is still Logitech CX920; anything better than that starts with a separate HDMI capture card and can cost up to an order of magnitude more. Meanwhile you've had a decent camera in your phone all along.

Using a good camera for your video call is simply showing respect to the person/people you're talking with.
I keep trying to tell people, "What a friend we have in Socrates!" but they won't seem to listen. Maybe it would help if I said I could easily see myself being Meletus or Philebus.
I can only comment on german. For general stuff, like articles, blog posts, etc. it performans really well. For local stuff, like finding restaurants, opening hours, etc. it's okay-ish, but switching to google with the bang commands is easy enough to not annoy me. It is the weakest part of the product though.
Oh, but this is interesting. If some countries stand to gain more by declaring copyrighted works "fair use" for training generative models, then other countries can either fall in line or risk falling back in technological development.

It's a race to the bottom in favor of open source.
Nice, a lot of features there :)
> Dispatch queue. Android has the equivalent thing.

Must be disabled on Samsung flagships, as these are the ones I have experience with, and I wouldn't say touch response is bounded on them, not for any useful definition of "response" and "bounded".

The last mobile device I used that had sane input response was a Sony Ericsson K800i feature phone. Input processing on it was fast, and most importantly, consistent. That means predictable - I could do most stuff on that phone while keeping it in my pocket, because I muscle-memorized the input sequences and how long every action took. Such a thing is impossible on smartphones.
CISA-KEV is a good list, but updates to it can be delayed by days to months.
Technically they are a for profit company, just like their competitors. They are based in the US, which is a bit hand wavy on privacy and user rights compared to e.g. the EU. And regardless of their intentions, they might transition to being a public company where the share holders run the show. In that case, all bets are off. Google started out with an intention of doing no evil. That didn't survive their IPO for very long and got replaced with sell the hell out of our user data any way we legally can and seek out the darkest areas of what is legally a bit grey. That's why they keep having to pay fines in the EU.

So, I would take these promises with a few grains of salt. For the purpose of improving their product they actually need to know how people are using it. So, they have to balance quality of their product with privacy. More privacy means their engineers are not getting all the information they need to do the best that they can. And they are competing with companies that are not holding back on that front. So, there's a bit of tension there.

Of course the fact that it's a paid product, allows them to make some stronger guarantees and build in business friendly wording into their terms of use beyond just promising that it's all fine. The flip side is that you have to sign in to use the product and prove that you paid for it. So, you can't use it anonymously.

IMHO, they should target the SAAS market and offer to make stronger guarantees to companies that are legitimately worried about their intellectual property leaking via search queries. Having people happily dump whatever in a Google query actually potentially gives Google a lot of insight into what these companies are doing. Including their direct competitors. And I'm sure they solemnly swear that they'd be doing no such thing but the temptation to tap into that is probably enormous for them. I can imagine a few companies that would pay a premium to cut off that particular flow of information. Those per seat deals that get sold by the dozens/hundreds are potentially worth a lot. B2C sales is a lot harder than B2B. And of course access to services like this is also a nice perk for employees.
Makes me wonder if rsync-style differential download would be more generally useful than "shared dictionary for shared brotli". The implementation is letting you reference a previously downloaded artifact using a hash value, which is the same starting point.
I would like to see a comparison of how this compares to Rust. In terms of interoperability it has Cxx (https://cxx.rs) to offer safe bindings to C++ but also has great support for Android, Linux and many other systems. You don't even need to hack together Windows bindings (as explained in the blog post) because Microsoft offers official bindings (https://crates.io/crates/windows). I'm not sure if I'd call it a superpower if any potential interoperability has to be written to be used (compared to it already being available). Or rather, in comparison to what is interoperability a Swift superpower? Certainly not C++ or C which can be used in a far wider set of targets.

Yes. But cars are expensive *and* for the most part they are unutilized. When you're slepping...the car sits. When you're working...the car sits.

An given society that's based on personal transportation (e.g., USA) at any given moment has a significant amount of resources sitting around doing nothing. In a world now based on not-so-infinite resources less cars (via, car on demand) is more than just a biz model. It's good for the world we live in.
1) iPhone 13 is 09/2021; Galaxy S20 FE is 09/2020. One year older device.

2) System updates do not mean the same on Android and iOS. On Android, all the apps are going to be updated still. Browser, mail, chat, maps are not hostages to system update. Conversely, security-only updates on Android are perfectly fine. Most users would not see difference between major releases anyway.
Thanks for sharing this article.

It feels like a hopeless endeavour to learn technical skills in later stages of life, reading the article helped me believe in maintaining my focus.
There's a kind of survivorship bias here! I'm sure that if Altinity (or others) weren't forced to do RFCs on GitHub like the one mentioned in this article that get low/no attention from the core team, they would be in the top committers :)
Yeah, so, if maintainers started blocking external contributions for business reasons or changed the license of the upstream repo, that would be a legitimate concern.

If this blog post raises any legitimate concerns, I missed them. All I see is entitlement to continue get work for free. If you're concerned about gaps in ClickHouse functionality, maybe pick up the slack and contribute back?

It takes a village to raise a database, as the saying goes.
Silly question, but I wonder if manufacturers have done R&D for some kind of, er... emergency anti-twisting baffle?

I'm imagining something vaguely like a giant air mattress that inflates out the back/bottom when the tail rotor fails, a supplementary vertical fin.

I suppose that the benefit might not be that big If all that does is change the fuselage spinning from "extreme" to "severe." Above a certain rate helicopter is still going to go down.

Drinking helped me when I was a shy teenager. I also thought drinking occasionally was keeping my mind healthy and helped me socialize (I.E find a random girl at a random bar). When I started a diet, I cut alcohol before anything else (highest glycemic index of what I was eating at the time). After a year, i was certain I would never drink again, bar some occasion (close family funerals). It improved my mental health by a lot, I can still socialize, except now I can actually care about the people I met and they're not random to me, and overall it's a better experience (except on sport nights).
Following the analogy further personally I find a controlled house burn preferable to self-combusting hazard curtains.
"Cyclone proof" standards in the Pilbara (Western Australia) would require solid frames on the panels solidly connected directly (through roofing material) to steel roof trusses with multiple strong connections to steel frame wall panels which themselves are deep bolted into a thick concrete slab.

Hospitals are built surrounded by ramped up packed earth bunkers that roof objects (evaporative coolers, venting stacks, solar panels) barely poke above .. that way the wind tends to lift over the entire (one or two stoey) hospital and flying objects (ripped off tin roofs, fencing wire, tree branches) don't directly hit the main building.

The building code there appears to magnitudes above the 'typical' ripped apart buildings seen in USofA Hurricane Alley damage shots (which typically seem to be tinfoil trailer type buildings and light construction) .. to be fair the US does have buildings that look to be built to withstand hurricanes, the difference seems to be that not all buildings are required to have that as a minimum code.
Aaah, `Cow`, the unloved child ...
The examination reflects the curriculum, and the preparatory schools taught to the examination.

Henry Adams on the Harvard of his day (he entered in 1854):

"disappointment apart, Harvard College was probably less hurtful than any other university then in existence. It taught little, and that little ill, but it left the mind open, free from bias, ignorant of facts, but docile. The graduate had few strong prejudices. He knew little, but his mind remained supple, ready to receive knowledge."

"In the one branch he most needed--mathematics--barring the few first scholars, failure was so nearly universal that no attempt at grading could have had value, and whether he stood fortieth or ninetieth must have been an accident or the personal favor of the professor. Here his education failed lamentably. At best he could never have been a mathematician; at worst he would never have cared to be one; but he needed to read mathematics, like any other universal language, and he never reached the alphabet."

But a) perhaps the mathematical curriculum had improved over the fifteen years between his entrance and that exam, and b) a large proportion of those who write about their schooling speak so poorly of it that one ends by suspecting exaggeration.

There may be nothing novel here for you given you're already working in the problem area, but as established a CVE measure is completely hypothetical on its own; if your customers insist on looking at one variable (CVE), you could always make the case that CVE is incomplete on it's own and should always be supplemented with data such as:

a) is it actually exploitable

b) is someone exploiting it in the wild

c) accessibility of component/asset/application/whatever that carries the CVE (e.g. is it internet-facing or a non-networked subcomponent hidden under 15 layers of defense)

d) other exploitability scoring methods, like EPSS

e) etc...

(sometimes I like to use the analogue of trying to gauge your body's health based on one variable, like your body temperature - it can be high temporarily [in case of a flu] but it doesn't tell you anything about your overall health [as we all get sick occasionally])

The VaR approach is sensible but has to start from much further down in the root of the problem by first creating a value-based catalogue of all your assets, after which you should simulate all prospective attack paths towards all assets (maybe above a certain value threshold to simplify the model a bit), then overlay with attack / exploit probability data (simple example would be a CVE dataset + EPSS scoring) and finally you have something resemblant of an actual data-based risk model you can quantify impacts on. It's quite a large task and I don't think there's a single player doing all areas, you'd have to patchwork together multiple different datasets.

Still, it's probably where the industry will end up in the next 10-15 year timespan.

(I'm somewhat involved in the area too but just as a threat data provider for larger models.)
Not really. Another issue I have with ownership (or leasing) is usage. While I'm sleeping...the car sits. I'm at work...the car sits. In fact, a whole lot of resources and effort goes into something that spends most of its life under utilized.

Car on demand would mean less cars per person. Perhaps the UAW sees this coming?

I maintain a web layout library that is designed to be integrated into other software:

https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy

It needs to be combined with a text layout engine (such as https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text), and it doesn't support everything yet (notable features that are currently missing: "float", "display: inline-block", "box-sizing: content-box", "position: static"). But we have Block, Flexbox and CSS Grid support with more on the way.
You shouldn't have to write this response on 'hacker' news, but good for you. Work on what you want. Some people do wood working, fix cars, or play video games. Others like coding. I have tons of partial projects I've started for various reasons, and enjoyed them all. Good luck and have fun. And, maybe your project does turn into something bigger.
I thought it was about Taylor Swift and how she crashed Ticketmaster and it’s interoperability systems
All objects and some questions (an universe in a single image)
That only started in 1979, with limited enforcement throughout, and gp’s talking about families with only one child for generations (probably >=3 in the context but at least 2) circa 2000 which is only one generation removed, so that’s only a small factor. Especially considering China’s population doubled from 1949 to 1979.

I also discussed the indirect/cultural factor where one should learn about this. There are two complementary factors here: if the young woman was rural there was practically no way she never encountered a family with multiple children; if she was urban it was more likely she was educated and thus should at least learn about it from school and/or through literature.
Of course, I was implying that such possibility would have been properly excluded.
You'll reconsider when your only alternative is food that's cooked perfectly, but also bacteriologically contaminated.
According to their documentation they still relied on Google for search, mixed in with results for other source, like Wikipedia, Marginalia and others (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm...).

It seems a little weird that there would be searches where users fallback on a Google search, when Kagi fails... Shouldn't Kagi get those same results?

There's also some double standards at play. On every article on DuckDuckGo you'll have people comment: "It's just Bing". Well, if that's the case, then Kagi is just Google. Basically the two search engines do the same thing, but with different business models, and with different levels of success.

Personally I feel like Google and Bing are on par. Bing has improved a lot, and Google simply hasn't.
Nope! Servo is no longer a Mozilla project. Development has been taken over by Igalia.

Thanks for this. My approach to speeding up an autodiff system like this was to write it in terms of nd-arrays rather than scalars, using numpy/cupy [1]. But it's still slower than deep learning frameworks that compile / fuse operations. Wondering how it compares to the approach in this post. (I might try to benchmark.)

A market does not require a “shitload”. I am certain that I am not the only person who would buy a MacBook Pro with the connectivity of a Dell.
I recently installed docker, podman, Colima, and Orbstack. Orbstack was the only one that overwrote the docker socket instead of connecting to the docker socket. The containerization on my Mac is locked into using Orbstack because no other container engine can bind to that, now overridden, socket.
Is there really a shortage of this kind of analysis today?

Using those legal mechanisms requires money and often public support. The LLM can’t conjure either.

The world is already full of smart people and good ideas about policy. The reason they’re not getting implemented probably has little to do with things that AI can solve today. For starters, a lot of voters actively dislike policy suggestions from experts and choose politicians who proudly go against expert opinion. Giving AI tools to the experts won’t change that.

> buying a sewing machine and making your own clothing

But why stop there?! Cultivate your own cotton, make your own cloth. Mine and smelt your own iron. Cut the woods and build your tools, then build your sewing needles from scratch.

Funny enough during communism here it was close to impossible to find modern sewing machines - they were the product of the evil capitalist countries, of course. So the old foot-operated Singers were selling at quite the premium.

And yes, we did walk quite a lot - car production and gas distribution in a planned economy meant tens of years on waiting lists.
Show HN: Sankei, one of the largest Japanese newspapers, uses a pixelized font
Across the whole site, but only for paragraphs as opposed to titles. This is so odd, does someone have an explanation for that? To me it seems to negatively influence readability.
It doesn't seem to contain much info about the infection technique/ deployment. Everyone can write a backdoor but getting the backdoor in is the real challenge and the interesting part.
I am unsure of the distinction you are making. In the case I described, I was trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 11 Pro via WiFi. After I wrote the above comment, I tried a couple more times and it eventually connected.
Honestly google probably doesnt make any money at all on searches like "how do call rust from python?". They make money on searches with buy intent where people search for "buy gps for car"

FYI, we discussed it in this thread https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44767.
For the moment, the only way to get the new features is to use the cloud version (which is likely to be a no-go for most companies managing their own clickhouse infrastructure).
As another person who had no clue about how "real" browsers work but still
decided to write a browser[1] (with a custom layout engine and whatnot):
go for it. It is a very rewarding experience to see websites rendered by
your code, no matter how awful that code (or output) may be.

I'm about two and a half years in, now my project can render HN and simple
blogs reasonably well. Is it objectively better than w3m (that I was going to
replace)? Not exactly, so I still return to w3m for some tasks. But I've
found use of it for tasks that I didn't even think it would be useful for,
learned a lot about programming in the process, and find it cool that it
works at all.
