Sounds like the regular beatings haven’t improved morale.
This gets more complicated as they may go after gig economy workers first. They're a perfect target: the scalper's deal would have better reward/effort ratio than Uber, DoorDash, Deliveroo, et al.; gig workers look "normal" in ways homeless don't, and are desperate for cash to keep them from becoming homeless.

At that point, would scalper's contribution be net positive? Net better than it was? I'm not sure how to answer that.
I'm on an ship doing oceanographic survey work in the arctic. StarLink is $5000 for 5 TB. Without it, we're on iridium, which both eye-wateringly expensive and slow (1MB up and down). Low bandwidth mode would be hella appreciated right now.

Interestingly, one of the major sucks for these LEO systems does not appear to be bandwidth. It's the route. We throttled the ship down to 2 Mbps for a while (100 pax) and Google properties are actually quite snappy while everything else is dead slow to the point of timing out. Turns out Google arranged to have Starlink ground stations installed in their data centers. That takes off a lot of hops. Amazon was one of the few other things that would load.

I hate to sound like a shill for big tech, but I get the sense Google and Amazon actually give a shit about speed. When you measure your bandwidth bill in billions, you can afford to?
Sounds like theres a lot of missing legislation. The situation creates a huge conflict of interests.

Then again, scalping itself out to be illegal; it’s just a form of exploiting someone else’s work to extract money from average folk without creating any value or meaningful work.

Great :D

I read a lot more of the documentation this morning, in general I really like what I see, but the clustering bit is the key missing point for me at the moment. My current employer produces an Electron desktop application - we need to run 90% of the tests on Linux (most cost-effective), and 5% each on a Windows and macOS machine. I see the Dagger CLI runs on both macOS and Windows, but the architecture as it stands today expects that the Dagger pipeline will run all its workloads on the same VM. If I want to run pipeline tasks on other VMs, I can do it from Dagger, treating the Dagger Engine as the orchestration layer which makes some kind of an IaaS or PaaS call to schedule the workload on a separate macOS or Windows VM, outside the Dagger architecture. But... today I expect that workload scheduling to happen within the CI/CD architecture (it's trivially expressible within GitHub Actions, particularly as GitHub Actions hosts both Windows and macOS runners), and needing to hoist it outside the CI/CD architecture in order to use Dagger is a needless complication.
Mouse stutter has become more common in Windows. Every time I open a web page with Spotify embed mouse freezes for ~0.5 to 1 second and then continues moving, I haven't found any reason for it, it happens with Firefox, Google Chrome, and Edge.

It's been repeatable ever since I bought a Ryzen 7950X at the beginning of the year, that's why I tried using system profiler tools to find the reason but as I have no good experience in this it's difficult to find the root cause.

> It does look like she staged a murder scene from her books intending to frame her husband then came to her senses, doesn’t it?

That was never going to work. The husband had an alibi, and the daughter was present. Christie would have known that.

She used the mistress' name when checking into a hotel, which implicated her in the incident. If Christie intended to frame anybody for anything, it'd be her.

It looks to me like she intended to leave, considered suicide, aborted the attempt, then tried to improvise a vague story for wrecking the car. I don't believe the fugue-state part.

My point is, the new language way may well be the "harder" one, for implementers or for users. It might be explained as a knee-jerk type reaction. Although new languages can still have some additional benefits of safety. Ways have tradeoffs and agents should evaluate them reasonably. I want to see a well-founded analysis of costs/benefits for the choice between Rust and safe variant of C/C++ or similar choice.
What puzzles me at such websites is that they cannot manage to briefly describe WHAT they actually do. Without previous information about it, you have no clue to figure out what they are for (I googled it, Github says a bit more, but the website? No clue for that, even in documentation)
I cannot go to antarctica, and if I could I would only be allowed to go to the scientific/military bases. A cruise is not exploring antarctica.

OTOH, I can go to Canada - I could explore the forests there, travel up rivers, etc. Or, even try to over-winter there, if I wanted.

Whether that would be wise to try or not - I cannot even consider this for antarctica. It is out of bounds.

> The treaty set aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve and established freedom of scientific investigation and environmental protection.

In yet another triumph of doublethink, it says "freedom of scientific investigation and environmental protection" which means that people are not allowed there.
Do you have any sources where I can read up on this? I've also heard of this complaint and I'm interested in diving into it for my thesis. Do you know what algorithms are suitable to make IPFS scalable?
I'm honestly not sure anymore if scalping should be delegalized. I'm increasingly convinced that it's only the problem because everyone is in on it, with artists using scalpers as "heat sinks", to get more money while pretending they're the victim, and everyone is well compensated for the role they play in the scheme. If that's the case, then the entire structure is the problem, and it starts with artists exploiting the audience looking for moral/spiritual role models.

I think its far more about how Intel has its own fabs and has far larger capacity in production. AMD is production limited and depends on TSMC and shares new nodes with Apple and others.

You're both right - I did make quite a bit copy-editing for some minor journals published by Japanese scientific societies. But I also experimented a bit last year with using ChatGPT to correct minor spelling and grammatical errors, and it did a credible job. With the right ptompts, you can even get it to do a line by line explanation of the logic behind each of its edits, so it could probably serve as a free, instant and personalized writing tutor as well. I guess its especially well-suited to highly formalized writing styles like those used in research articles.

Apparently so do artists and Ticketmaster.

Great. But that doesn't solve this particular problem. Why do you think every legit ESP makes you do domain level validation using a custom TXT record?
Why can’t the existing code just be adapted to the new requirement? Code is supposed to be mallable. But perhaps the code was designed too rigid to support changing requirements. In that case you will have exactly the same problem after the rewrite, next time requirements change again.
I would agree if I were considering unit tests, where the implementation details fall into testing scope, but I was deliberate in my word choice.

Integration tests exercise behavior at the boundary of the system under test, where it integrates with other systems, which is ultimately what you want for steering a rewrite.
That’s irrelevant. I already mentioned that the new view is slow and that’s a fine argument to make.

Arguing that they should maintain multiple views is just ignorant of the world we live in. You will be disappointed further.

Your advice only works if the "large chunk" of code isn't a large chunk of code lol. If you can safely refactor a subset of the code without the full context then of course you'd do that. But if there's a big enough chunk of code that people can't load it into their brain RAM before making a change, it'll just get bigger and bigger as more people tack on drive by changes. If you're past that point, it's time to ctrl-A delete specifically so you can apply Chesterton's Fence on future refactors.

Language Models Can Align Themselves Without Finetuning
Oh wow I only just uploaded this and it's on HN already!

I'm actually quite excited about this video because I tried my hardest to pack all the key info I could think of into a 90 minute talk -- the goal is to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey tell me everything I need to know about LLMs".

Having said that, I'm sure I missed things or there are bits that are unclear -- this is my first attempt at doing this, and I plan to expand this out into a full course at some point. So please tell me any questions you still have after watching the video, or let me know of any concepts you think I should have covered but didn't.

I'm actually heading to bed shortly (it's getting late here in Australia!) so not sure I'll be able to answer many questions until morning, sorry. But I'll definitely take a look at this page when I get up. I'll also add links to relevant papers and stuff in the YouTube description tomorrow.

(Oh I should mention -- I didn't cover any ethical or policy issues; not because they're not important, but because I decided to focus entirely on technical issues for this talk.)
Ha ha me too come to think of it. I have never used a client for personal email as I started with hotmail in 98.
I dedicated a day to evaluating feature flag software based on specific criteria:

- Must support multiple SDKs, including Java and Ruby.
- Should be self-hosted with PostgreSQL database support.
- Needs to enable remote configuration for arbitrary values (not just feature flags). I don't run two separate services for this.
- Should offer some UI functionality.
- it should cache flag values locally and, ideally, provide live data updates (though pooling is acceptable).

Here are the four options that met these basic criteria and underwent detailed evaluation:

- Unleash: Impressive and powerful, but its UI is more complex than needed, and it lacks remote configuration.
- Flagsmith: Offers remote configuration but appears less polished with some features not working smoothly; Java SDK error reporting needs improvement.
- Flipt: Simple and elegant, but lacks remote configuration and local caching for Java SDK.
- FeatureHub: Offers fewer features than Unleash and Flagsmith; its Java API seems somewhat enterprisly but supports remote configuration and live data updates.

Currently, I'm leaning towards FeatureHub. If remote configuration isn't necessary, Unleash offers more features, and if simplicity is key and local caching isn't needed, Flipt is an attractive option.
Even the order of entries in the Accept-Language header, as per browser settings? That's usually the source of half the problems I have with websites suddenly defaulting to an unexpected language.

(The other half is websites suddenly displaying in Norwegian; it started after I was in Oslo for a few days and, while there, had to re-activate Skype from the website. Even a decade and two jobs later, on completely unrelated computers, some websites will suddenly display in Norwegian, for reasons completely unknown.)
I like the cold water analogy and what it suggests: embrace pain. The preparative dread is much worse than the thrill of being in cold water.

I once pulled off a scratch rewrite.

The original author had spent months writing their own custom ORM framework. The big problem was that this framework didn’t support nested transactions, or validators. This meant that when users uploaded data, some of the data would go in, then a later part would fail and you’d get an inconsistent state. Then users would spend days fixing the inconsistent state through a clunky UI.

I rewrote the whole thing with Django in 2 weeks. Each upload was in a single transaction and if something failed it would roll back the whole upload with a message that said “Upload failed with error {}. No data was added to the database. Please fix the error and retry the upload.

The users loved it.

This was a “mature” piece of software that had been critical for many years.

The original killer app for crypto was sending people money in exchange for drugs, which fits my description quite neatly.
What you are describing sounds more like a problem with leadership to empower ICs and groups to make improvements, or possibly a culture of dumping code, declaring victory, and moving on. If new hires are bailing in their first week, the problems run far deeper than the codebase. Rewriting anything is not likely to change the long term end state unless the company culture has shifted. I have yet to experience an organization where a real cultural shift has happened.
You are needlessly paranoid.

It's common to ask for the password and I don't think they'd touch your private files.

Look at companies like Cyrix for example. They made some good 86x processors in the 90s but were also constantly involved in legal battles. AMD was literally in an ongoing legal battle for 20 years straight.

In the 90s you had other companies that could have built x86 chips, if they would have been allowed two. Digital Alpha was the bases for the AMD chips that kicked Intel so hard that they resorted paying their supplier to not adopt it. Digital could have done a x86 but they would have been in a lawsuit with intel.

Intel also didn't really have an advantage on the node for most of that period.
Also, I find that named ranges seem to slow down the Excel file when the number of rows get a bit large (100k or so)
HN comments often complain about incompetent management, but in my experience these misguided rewrite-from-scratch projects are initiated by developers who want to explore some new framework or platform, or who just think green-field development is more fun. And then they convince management a rewrite is necessary.
I think that only applies to certain problem domains, like domestic skills.

Completed a full rewrite of many components of the Kraken.com backend in about 4 years.

The new system is around 1.5M loc of Rust. There was no serious alternative to rewriting, sometimes you find yourself in a corner and need to fix issues, and pay the price.

I wrote about it 3 years ago here https://blog.kraken.com/product/engineering/oxidizing-kraken...

Everything in that blog post still rings true and hindsight is that it were were right. But it was a massive grind and required extreme dedication to get it done, for a variety of reasons that work was very taxing.

We also didn't stop feature development and kept the two systems running concurrently (which explains why it took so long, also growing and training a new team 10x the size took time, so there are many factors).

I'm also against rewrites if I can help it, but reality is complex and sometimes we can't help it. Now however, since we removed the last pieces of legacy that were preventing larger DB schema changes (or required massive, unreasonable changes to the legacy systems), we've been shipping faster and easier than ever and caught-up on a lot of the accumulated backlog, including some of the more ambitious projects that were unthinkable in the legacy systems due to limitations.
