I think what mattered to the people who designed this is not create memory pressure for foreground applications. Anyone who ever tried using a WinXP machine right after boot knows it would need a couple of minutes just to sort itself out from the many auto-starting processes waking up to big pile of new "background" work and fighting over the disk and memory, and I think that was what they were trying to repair with background mode. Windows has a long history of getting a bad reputation due to buggy 3rd party pre-installed software, so they built a rather strict performance isolation sandbox to address that.

Something that only runs once per second is not going to be able to keep up with with a process that is dirtying memory at full tilt, which is probably why they chose to enforce a hard limit by evicting the least-used pages to the standby list, from where one can usually get them back quickly without encountering a hard fault to disk (a soft fault was probably like 10,000x faster than a hard fault back when they did this work). They must have viewed thrashing as a pathological case that programmers would diagnose and repair, just like you have. After all they do provide some pretty good tools for diagnosing memory use.

You may argue that the 32MiB limits needs adjusting to follow Moore's law, but Moore's law stopped working for laptop DRAM sizes many years ago.
Sounds like I'm with Steve on this one.
McKinsey reports - does anyone take them seriously? They are just expensive word salad designs to give clueless managers something to talk about. Or, more cynically, a way to justify dumb decisions.
> 1.1.1.1 has a WebAssembly app called static_zone running on top of the main DNS logic that serves those new versions when they are available.

webassembly? what is that word even doing in a post mortem about DNSSEC failures?
Sure, the article is good, but the "assertion" based on of motivations based on what someone didn't say is hardly what you'd call a sound investigation or valid criticism. If court cases were decided in a similar fashion to the OP's comments then courts would turn into a shouting match.

A thorough, sober investigation of the facts should be done before attempting to attribute motivations, and maybe not even then. What truly matters is the outcome; was anyone hurt? were the uncertified parts found? is the system working to keep people safe?

The motivations of the airline come in a distant second to those.
All of which are regulated, also the last two clearly don't belong there. Animal trials are necessary. And regulated and monitored. What Neuralink does is ignoring any best practices and rules, causing unnecessary suffering and, topping it all off, don't even have anything to show for it. Despicable is not really doing that behavior justice.
I am not a gentoo user.
This is simply law enforcement, committing a crime by selling forged parts is mostly orthogonal to the level of regulation of said part. You can combine supply chain verification mechanisms such as certificates of authenticity with any level of formal technical regulation of the affected parts.
That sounds awesome but it's been 13 years since the last update, does it still work?
I agree.Obtaining this formula by observing is more difficult than obtaining it by proving it. Besides, it is an issue that is already needed in field work. If you have pen, paper and a good number system, it shouldn't be too difficult to find the formula with shapes.
And we also say that it's a "cooler" colour temperature than a black body only heated to 3500K.

Go figure.
Or carbon steel or cast iron, both of which can effectively become non-stick.
Haven't people been streaming live sets using https://www.shoutcast.com/ etc for ages already? Is that illegal and was this supposed to be a legal alternative or something?

I remember running my own little icecast server with some PHP back in the day when MP3s were still new to allow me and my friends at university to stream my music like a jukebox. I think that was around 1998 or so.

https://jungletrain.net/ is still streaming to this day.
Here is the problem. Every investor is going to ask what your moat is. What differentiates your Whisper -> Llama -> Midjourney Pipeline.ai from the next one? And the answer is, if you’re just making API calls, nothing. Sorry. There’s nothing stopping Jian Yang from creating newpipeline.ai in a weekend.
Here’s a couple of things which could set you apart off the top of my head.

Customers. Having customers is an advantage over the next guy who doesn’t, because now you can start customizing your product for unique needs rather than having a generic crud app.

Custom models. A custom model means some kid can’t just replicate your app easily.

Unique data. Data which is infeasible for another company to acquire or replicate.

Special people. People who will give your startup an edge in creating all of the above.

Is killing a pig to eat it worse than killing 25 of the 60 pigs in a experiment because you accidentally put in the wrong implant so the experiment is ruined and you learned nothing from killing them?

At least when somebody eats the pig somebody benefits.
I don't know why Cloudflare, like Amazon, often get a free-pass on HN for their DNS implementation bugs. Regardless of DNSSEC's merits or otherwise, this bug isn't inherent to DNSSEC.
They'll kill thousands for sure but your "if" is a very big "if" given the current trends in technology I bet they'll be displaying ads straight in your optical nerves way before they cure anything, and even when they'll cure anything you won't be able to afford ot

I think Vespa's growth and innovation were driven by Yahoo's resources and infrastructure. Now as a separate entity, it might struggle to maintain the same pace of development and innovation without the backing of a tech giant like Yahoo.
Technically they are. My comment was also meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek of course (and, hopefully, obviously).

I wouldn't use a score like IQ to define a treshold of "intelligence" in absolute terms. By definition, if you can score somewhere on the IQ scale, you have some intelligence. Otherwise your IQ would probably be N/A? (not sure, never looked that deeply into IQ tests=.
That is clearly an issue with my viewpoint. I think it could be more heated than practically impactful (just like "kill tor because pedophiles"). Nuanced issues are not easy to regulate, but then, how about using monkeys instead?

FWIW since we are discussing suffering, it's worth noting that for humans we are maximizing longevity over minimizing suffering.
Authentic parts are appropriately tested, have known tested failure modes and well understood lifespans that are built into maintenance schedules.
If a fake part fails outside of the known failure scenarios there is a cost in investigating that issue and resolving it even if the failure is not catastrophic.
My problem with literally every wireless charger I ever used is awful coil whine or ticking noise, really disturbing if you have the charger next to your bed. I've tried official Apple one, Samsung one, Anker, Auckley, few other random chinese brands, and they are all so loud when charging(Samsung's is probably the worst for it, as it has a fan inside - yes it charges my S23 pretty quickly but I wouldn't use it anywhere other than a loud office environment). I don't know if this is a problem of insulation or is it just inevitable given the technology used.
I can see smaller charging stations becoming a thing. Traditional "Gas Stations" are on the way out; they will be around for a long time but the clock is ticking. But that doesn't mean that people won't need those services, just that it won't be tied to filling up with petrol. I can see a future where almost everywhere you go a small charging station will be installed. Grocery store? Get a quick top-up while you grab some milk and bread. Hitting the gym for a late afternoon workout? Plug in and charge while you sweat! The corner gas station will probably go away, but it will be replaced by chargers everywhere.

The idea of using a smaller, self contained, charging station makes even more sense when you think about cars with less range. Imagine 1 or 2 spots in a state park or a local pizza joint. Suddenly, you're 100 mile range isn't so limiting!
It's for this reason that Russian commercial airliner aircraft are now effectively worth 0 as the chain of certification of the planes and their parts are now broken. This may be a problem in the future as unscrupulous traders try to cert wash them back into the system in the future.
Good thing you aren’t German where this would now probably be illegal because we have politicians that are scared of thinking (possession of CSAM leaves no more way for a judge or a prosecutor to not prosecute or stopping, no matter the reason, even if the reason is to bring it to the police, a proud tradition in Germany, making the removal of CSAM harder, that Ursula von der Leyen started).

A German legal discussion about this is here [0] where a teacher who wanted to help is now being prosecuted (simpler summary here [1]), and apparently those idiots now finally plan to change the law after exactly those issues were explained to them when they started implementing this law.

> I’ve come to use Milan as an example of a city made almost entirely of rock and stone, with virtually zero green anywhere to be seen.

This is way more ignorant than it sounds.

Milan is full of parks, some incredibly vast (eg: parco lambro, bosco in città, parco trotter).

And a lot of roads are literally filled with trees (eg: via pacini and via lomellina).

Please grow up and stop relaying this ignorance.
I guess the problem is that the term "intelligent" is ambiguous and overloaded.

So in one usage someone who is kinda dumb would still be intelligent, just less intelligent than others.

In another usage, we use the term to describe someone of above average intelligence (which is technically not really correct and actually not very intelligent).

Ask HN: What do you use on your backends?
Hi everyone,

When you start a new project and get to a point when you need to write a backend, what do you use to make it quicker?

Do you have any language that helps you start faster?

Do you use any SaaS apps to save time on some infra, especially like metrics, logs, and auth?

How do you handle APIs? (like do you use OpenAPI, or go with gRPC or smth else)

What's your go-to place for hosting services?

It'd be really interesting to hear your thoughts on this in the comments!
I am sad about unnecessary suffering of the animals I eat as well. You should notice the key word "unnecessary" here.

Sad isn't the right word so, I am rather pissed at the people and companies causing this unnecessary suffering because they cannot be bothered with even trace amounts of ethical behavior in the pursuit of a single dime. Even worse are the people findokg excuses fornthis kind of behavior, at least the perpetrators have some monetary motivation, while the appologists are somewhere between edgy and and morally bankrupt.
No, Curve448 is as good as can be per the public knowledge, see https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/. What one could expect given Rambus history is undisclosed patents, possibly the most efficient hardware implementation. They have been known to get their tech standardized (not disclosing IP claims) and come back at adopters with patent violation suits.

I think the way the Celestial Reference Frame Department does things might be old-fashioned.

With new tech like blockchain for decentralized coordination, or machine learning algorithms that can process astronomical data more accurately and quickly, there might be better and easier ways to do celestial referencing. It might be time for a change to keep up with these new advancements.

Blaming interest rates is for losers with blocks, chains, tokens and metas in their name.

Interest rates were high in the "dot com" era and that didnt stop them. If you raise 100mil now you can make your payroll and your AWS bill from the interest alone.
We didn't even learn much, and nothing that couldn't have been learned by other means.
It does feel quite strange. Altera spent the last 7 years getting rid of and merging all their HR/IT/Marketing/Sales/Legal and so on with Intel. All they had that was independent was engineering and planning, and even that wasmt entitely so. They need to start that all from scratch again. The inefficiency of it all astounds me.
Yeah but then it's about what you value your life at. Wouldn't you risk a 1% chance of a fiery death if it meant a $2 SAVINGS?
This is not what money laundering means. The origin of money that was deposited to FTX and Luna was not criminal original. There was nothing to launder here, as the source of funds was clean and proper.

That's the same story, it's just "bigger" news now that some of those parts have been traced to a major US airline.
Our society has already accepted many such evils and you are the beneficiary. We breed/rear sentient animals in very poor living conditions with explicit intent to kill them and eat them. We conduct experiments (clinical trials) on humans. These experiments have significant risk of harm. We also sell for profit, medical treatments and commercial products with significant risks of harm. We make them life-long-dependent or addictive so that our profit flow doesn't stop. We sell weapons/machinery of mass destructions for profit and we foment conflict to ensure we have proving grounds and strong market for those weapons. We externalize costs from our own society to faraway poorer societies for our own selfish interests. Point is, a few elites make moral decisions for all the masses and many times in history we see how these elite decision makers had no skin in the game. So, stop being judgmental. And make scientific arguments backed by data and context if you want to truly improve things.
Very long article but well worth the read. Scary stuff:

"...a former drug trafficker from Colombia told South Florida detectives that she had switched to trafficking aircraft parts instead. After all, the money was almost as good — by some estimates, during the early 1990s, unapproved parts represented a $2 billion industry."
They just change the input data of the LLM and/or the reward model.

Or better they shift the distribution by finetuning the model on curated data.

But no, no one change the parameters manually, it's just too complex, an artificial brain.

This is super-cool!

It's incorrect to say that living things are "machines", because machines are what humans make with their hands and tools[^1]. But we damn well function like machines. No immortal soul by default, no divine preference, but yet, there is a lot of legroom for improvement and fixes[^2].

[^1]: I guess that if whales or AI would autonomously make things with moving parts, we would need new words for those too.

[^2]: Barring any cynicism, that is.

If there's one thing I've learned from playing single player games, then trying out online PVP in those same games, it's that teaming with (and competing against) other people is essential in improving your own performance past a certain level.
Except that in the case of the Sun, it has all to do with temperature: its surface temperature indeed matches the emitted light temperature.

Yes I find myself wishing that "AI" wasn't the term chosen for generative text and image tools, as this term has been pushed by culture/movies/games for the last half-century to mean something specific, not just (still very impressive) tools to generate images and text.

Of course, this could have never happened, as the temptation of "AI" for marketing products is irresistible and the confusion between "real AI" and "new generative LLM tools" is actually beneficial for companies.

I don't know what will happen to the term "AI" after this hype cycle dies down.
It's interesting that Pythagoras gets credit for a theorem he may not have discovered, especially when there's proof that Babylonians knew it 1000 years earlier.

In their conversation, they bring up mobile as a recent platform shift that caused a lot of disruption. But I think it's interesting to remember how slow that took. The iPhone was released in 2007, but the real winners of mobile were launched years later -- Uber (2010), Snapchat (2011), and TikTok (2016) -- and those winners took several more years to even start to gain true traction in the market.

I don't think a lot of people back in 2007 could have predicted that the biggest thing to come from mobile would be an app that let teens remix music videos and share with their friends.

This is why I think it is a little pointless to try and create mental models for what products and features to build to capitalize on AI (though it can be fun). It's so early that we're not capable of understanding what's possible yet. If anything, we're probably at the viral "fart app" stage that mobile was in for its first few years.
It’s related because peer reviewers have the power to sink or float a paper based on its ability to reproduce, but they don’t currently. Thus there are not many incentives to try to make a paper reproducible.
