Thank you for sharing this, it all rings so true.
Love Debian and still use it.
Mostly agreed, but "sitting idle most of the time" isn't quite the right metric. The question is if it can handle the peak loads. And a pi zero can run pihole and a rain gauge.

I don't plan to upgrade my rpi4 running homeassistant, a Plex video streaming server, a tailscale VPN exit node, and a few other minor services.

Plex on the rpi4 can't keep up transcoding 4k video to 1080p, maybe the rpi5 can, but I don't personally need that. Many Plex users do need 4k transcoding though.

Also, I have tried to use the pi4 as a desktop replacement, and I just found it too slow for the modern bloated world of webapps. All the little things just added up to too much and I gave up. The pi5 might be good enough though, but with all the peripherals and pains of arm64, a used old laptop is still probably better on the price/performance ratio.
> Not only was the future of the company at stake but he also enjoyed doing it.

The business concerns were not a major factor for Carmack. He was against expanding the business and the company was making plenty of money with a lot of cash to spare. They had other projects other than Quake that were making them money. Had he really cared about the health of the business, he wouldn't have lashed out so much at other developers working on things other than Quake. He simply thought the company should basically work on one project at a time.

We put people in jail for using drugs because we put people in jail for having drugs because otherwise people could sell the drugs that they have in private, and at that point what are you even trying to make illegal? Sales from ordinary merchants subject to purity standards?
> Somewhat related, I noticed a surprising correlation between programming skills in the small, and programming skills in the large. You can solve a problem in five lines of code, or, if you try hard, in ten lines of code. If you consistently come up with concise solutions in the small, chances are large scale design will be simple as well.

Well, my anecdotal evidence doesn't support this.

I've done 500+ interviews for big tech, and often it is easy to spot people who have grinded leetcode. They excel at DSA, but fail at system design, or even low level design.

The thing is that overall I kind of agree with this article. Leetcode is great as a fun coding exercise. I also think they help the craft like katas help martial artist to practice.

The problem is when me getting the job depends on solving a coding puzzle. Sometimes I can solve a leetcode hard with ease and sometimes I get completely blocked in a medium one. Getting a job becomes more of a random toss than assessment of my skills. And yes, my company, and by extension me, are very guilty of this.
There is already a bottleneck on these trains because the staff need to bring you to the compartments. Unlike regular trains there is a lot of staff (one per carriage).

Also most stations are exit only and no new passengers can board.

That’s true of even older cars, but the cars listed above all have crumple zones as did almost all cars from the 70s on.

And older cars definitely fold in crashes just not in predetermined ways that minimize intrusion and injury like modern cars. Generally older cars have far less rigid chassis than modern vehicles.

Your benchmark is more than 6 years old, on a 2014 Macbook, with a strange choice of terminals. LWN's article on the subject is almost as old, but with a better comparison: https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/ (2018)

Perhaps "legally" was the wrong word, but the essence is still that they can't redistribute them, even if the reason is not law. The fact that the reason is it would be incompatible with other etsablished policy, and they wrote that policy themselves in the first place, doesn't change the fact of "can't".

It's not legitimate to say "no one is stopping you from rewriting all your other contracts, charters, and principles to be compatible with my new license".

And who knows, maybe they even can't "legally" if everything were fully evaluated.

Also, this sounds like an attempt to obfuscate or downplay the essential fact here of who made the breaking change. If someone cared about Terraform being included in brew, and wanted to know who to blame for their orderly world being disturbed, it is not because homebrew has decided to evict Hashicorp, it is because Hashicorp left.

One might argue that this would be no different from some artist (or AI) painting a painting in the style of Picasso. As long as you make no attempt at passing it off as an original Picasso, it may be seen as ok, unless we extend intellectual property rights to cover style....

... which we do already do, of course, if the protected item is something like an iPhone.

In both cases, though, if you falsely claim that the actor/phone IS the real thing, then it's clearly forgery.

And, I suppose, if you specifically bake too much of a similarity into it (ie a phone that looks exactly like an iphone, except the logo), one may argue that the likness effectively misleads the same way a forgery would, and that it can be illegal for that reason.

> Just as interesting is what happened when the corporate world decided to compete with the IETF for control of how the internet worked. Some people call this the protocol wars. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Wars). For a while it seemed like each month the OSI would announce a project to replace parts of the internet, like TCP, with an X.protocol. Of these efforts very few survived and thrived - like X.509.

I would not describe it as 'corporate world decided to compete with IETF', than 'governments tried to enforce its power'. IETF working groups are often full of engineers from corporate vendors trying to collaborate to ensure interoperability, while ISO is traditional top-down governments-led organization.

Show HN: Share & discover thousands of Stable Diffusion workflows
Hey HN!

I shipped a website where you can share & discover ComfyUI workflows for Stable Diffusion.

How it works:

Download & drop any image from the website into ComfyUI, and ComfyUI will load that image's entire workflow.

Why I built this:

ComfyUI is an open source UI for building advanced stable diffusion workflows (https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI).

Interestingly, ComfyUI saves the workflow information within each image it generates (EXIF data), so you can drop any image generated with Comfy into ComfyUI, and it will re-create the image's workflow.

This makes sharing advanced Stable Diffusion workflows MUCH easier, but I couldn't find a central website where people share & discover these.

So, I built one.

Progress/vision:

Right now, it has 2K+ images, but would be super cool to soon add other modalities, like videos & audio (and any other type of content that open source tools like ComfyUI can generate).

Would love any feedback, thanks! :D
It's not hard to find at all.

Problems with the Zürich <-> Amsterdam line are constantly in the news[1]. I was not the only person on this train that had issues. I voiced mine at a later time directly with ÖBB unlike others that complained to the staff which were not at fault here. It is a systematic problem and the nigthjet in this state should not be offered if they can't keep it up to a minimum standard.

I don't have a problem with a 1970's train but then don't sell me a trip in a modern rail car with a 360 walkthough on the website when it isn't what I am getting. Working toilets (With toilet paper) is the only thing I would expect on a 9 hours trip, everything else I don't care about.

Entrenched managers at LinkedIn being forced out by RTO mandate?
Companies like LinkedIn and Google have a huge problem with entrenched middle-managers who engage in ways that harm the company bottom line and reputation. They do so in the expected ways by empire building, and trading competitive meritocracy for bureaucratic autocracy in their orgs. They do so by rewarding loyalty to themselves above all else. Many of these managers come from Google and have made their way into companies like LinkedIn and have wreaked havoc on a previously competitive workforce. They weren’t exactly exposed at Google, because revenue at Google essentially books itself. They are being exposed at the organizations that they have moved to after being ousted at Google for these same practices.

It seems like the tool that executive teams are using to rid themselves of these entrenched managers are return to office mandates.

We all know that it is very costly and extremely difficult to fire management.

Many of these managers, especially those from Google, only left Google because they were eventually squeezed out by the manager RTO initiative just over a year ago.

A RTO mandate that forces performance review implications seems like a pretty genius way to get these managers to leave on their own. The result will be more open positions for the hungrier employees who never left the metro of the company, and are still hell bent on succeeding in their career.

How long do we think it will take for the result of this action to come to fruition?
Those calls to violence don’t write themselves!
Can't websites that host user-generated content take steps (under the DMCA?) to ensure that users alone (and not the site) are liable for any copyright-infringing user-generated content?

If the users are sufficiently anonymised, or share accounts, prosecution might be difficult, but I'm not sure that makes them any less liable. I don't imagine that accounts themselves could be prosecuted, but I'm not a lawyer.
No, Wikipedia is looking like it's out of date or wrong. It’s not a definitive source, especially for highly technical topics like this.

Here is another industry source which has a table that also says 5V at 5A: https://www.graniteriverlabs.com/en-us/technical-blog/usb-po...

In fact, using Wikipedia’s sources, I found the actual specs and here is another piece of supporting evidence for these other articles:

> The Fixed PDOs Maximum Current field Shall advertise at least 3A, but May advertise up to RoundUp (PDP/Voltage) to the nearest
10mA. Requires a 5A cable if over 3A is advertised.[0]

This is a footnote attached to 5V3A, indicating to me that chargers are allowed to offer more than 3A at 5V.

At a minimum, the spec seems to be ambiguously written, but I’ve only spent a few minutes skimming it. Multiple industry sources (previously linked) believe that 5V@5A is within the spec, even without using PPS.

This is the voice of absolute delusion. Swarm is a mess. Nomad actually scales.
Sans the monetization debacle, it's an extremely good platform for authors. It also has some unique content value. It's like a twitter but for those who want to read more detailed and rigorous content in the form of answer posts.

Such platforms work best when they're left on their own to work organically with a little bit of moderation for obscenities, hate speech, etc. In general, the platform takes care of itself as the best quality answers typically command the most upvotes/views (though I've seen a great bias towards political content relative to technical and other non-political topics in this regard).

The makers absolutely ruined it though when they introduced that paywall, they should have explored other monetization options, there are plenty of them.
That’s an infrastructure plan, not operations.
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson had an on-stage robot voiced by a Morgan Freeman impersonation, a very good one. That show was created to make money and I am sure that a great many people up that late were occasionally fooled by the impersonation. Saturday night live had Tina Fay impersonate Sarah Palin. She did it so well that it even fooled the real Sarah Palin's media team into using images from SNL as images of the actual candidate. Saturday Night live created this fake for profit and, arguably, for political reasons.

The major reason I switched from iTerm to Alicritty is the config. I use cmd as my tmux key. This was really annoying to get working in iTerm and was brittle. It required all of macos overrides, iTerms overrides, Tmux config, and Karabiner Elements to get it how I liked it. With Alacritty, it's all done with a clean Alacritty config and a couple of macos-level overrides (I use cmd-q and cmd-h differently in Terminal). Also, the vim+tmux combo is noticeably faster in Alacritty. I'm very interested in Contour.

Meh.

The usual practice is to keep the terraform state in an encrypted S3 bucket tucked away in a separate account (CI/CD, management or similar), with IAM policies controlling who can actually access the terraform state file in a cross-account setup. Limited access to the bucket with the terraform state can be controlled via the S3 bucket access IAM policy. Typically, there is an overarching, cross-account organisational IAM role that controls such access.

Each terraform project typically gets its own dedicated state bucket. Sharing the same S3 bucket for multiple solutions is unusual.

The encrypted S3 bucket persisting the terraform state file has to have the S3 versioning enabled. If one stores the terraform state in git, they are cooking it wrong.

Static and third party provided secrets are stored manually in the Parameter Store and are sourced via «data» blocks in terraform programmatically. Access to the secrets is controlled via the appropriate IAM roles and policies. Access to the secrets by humans is by exemption that is attached to a (typically) SSO role associated with an access group in the organisation's own IDP. This is no different from the non-AWS secret management solutions and tools.

Ephemeral or «low value»[0] secrets in the Secrets Manager can be rotated daily (e.g. every 24 hours) – to discourage the manual access to, storage of and reliance on them as well as to encourage to retrieve the secrets programmatically.

terraform is a vehicle to get from point A to point B, and is not an AI nor a substitute for the knowledge of the platform.

The terraform documentation is excellent, by the way. It is no replacement for the knowledge of AWS though.

Price-competitive NUCs are generally very old Celerons (J4105 and similar), which are CPU-competitive with the RK3588S but generally a little slower. Those NUCs also generally have glacially slow GPUs and poor hardware acceleration for stuff like video. And a lot of the mainboards of that era can't go over 4GB of RAM, whereas you can get 16GB in an Orange Pi 5; I've got three of those in my home k8s cluster alongside some older amd64 PCs.
> I'm a big believer that smaller models will take hold. The throwing paint at the wall strategy of having 100B+ models and random data won't scale.

But all these smaller models are based on those 100b+ models! Like OP on TinyStories relies on larger models twice, to generate and then evaluate. Or the recent wave of small models which are all based on extracting data from GPT-3/4 to borrow the capbilities+RLHFing for free.

You can talk about how interesting it is and how much of an overhang neural nets have in terms of being overparameterized (which is an important AI safety/capabilities issue - the first AGI will be the largest, slowest, and worst one, by a long shot), but the one thing it doesn't tell you is that smaller models can replace big models entirely. Because they are parasitic on said big models, so you still need to train the big models to begin with.

(The smaller models also seem to lose a lot of the qualitative capabilities of larger ones, like meta-learning. Their TinyStories model does only stories. I doubt you could get it to 'dax a blick'.)
Quora probably had the most beautiful mechanism of all these Web 2.0 Social apps. you ask a question, and then there's a good chance it reaches an authority in that particular subject and is subsequently answered. that's incredible.

it's not even about the monetisation part. imo it all went downhill when they started to allow incredibly low-quality content onto the site. I open my feed and it's filled with stuff like "what's your favorite food" "what scares you" "what are some common tech hacks etc. etc" it's incredibly annoying.

I'm still pretty hopeful about Quora and I think they can still turn this around as there's a sizeable population of subject experts on the website who keenly answer questions and share insights.

Quora's one of these counter-intuitive cases when a product could've been better off with a dozen or so people working on a shoestring budget instead of raising venture capital and trying to do 10 things at once as they in fact did.
Don't know. It was what we got when we entered BASIC. We didn't have the manual, but only our textbook. The timeshare was on some kind of minicomputer. I later got a summer internship at the facility that hosted this thing, and the rack of modems was as big as the computer.
While we’re on the subject of social media I feel the need to point out that you don’t need to keep saying this and it also doesn’t make much sense to bother. This isn’t a debate club meetup. People can latch on to parts of the conversation and focus on that if they want.
So you are a both a bit of an exception nowadays with no family and no debt.
You should also read Adaptive Markets by Andrew Lo. It talks about how behavior psychology affects the markets, as Homo Economicus does not really exist, people are not rational actors individually or even at scale in other domains (see, for example, loss aversion) so there is no reason to think we are rational when dealing with the markets either.
Anything can and will break. Symptomatically similar thing happened to me with K8s with (IIRC) Calico. And I’ve had issues with Swarm too, although of a different kind (it quietly refused to run a data channel for me over an IPv6-only network, while control channel worked just fine).

It was all quite a while (3-4 years) ago, so I don’t remember much details, except that Swarm was then not exactly capable of working in IPv6-only environments. It was significantly easier to navigate Docker’s codebase than Kubernetes’.

(Ultimately, my solution was that I understood that I didn’t need any kind of orchestration there, just HA/failover. But that’s another story.)
