Sorry, it seemed to me that you didn't realize that you were comparing your phone to the same cameras used for actual film productions.

YouTube is not a shoestring operation anymore, filmed with whatever point and shoot digital camera is at hand, and for most even semi-popular creators it hasn't been like that for some time now.

I thought it would be constructive to point out that most pro or semi-pro YouTubers are now using top of line kit, with full post-production pipelines tailored to YouTube.

If you know this already and yet still expect your iPhone to match up, then ok, perhaps you're right and there isn't a constructive conversation here.
Hyping up tech based on what you think it will be able to do in the future is the misplaced overhyping that is the problem. The issues people say are easy to fix aren't easy to fix.

Expect the model to continue to perform like it does today, and then lots of dumb integrations added to it, and you will get a very accurate prediction of how most of new tech hype turns out. Dumb integrations can't add intelligence, but it can add a lot of value, so the rational hype still sees this as a very valuable and exciting thing, but it isn't a complete revolution in its current form.
How does DDoS mitigation work? When people say "I put my website behind Cloudflare to mitigate DDoSes", what does it mean exactly?

Is it only about having a large enough ingress pipe that you can weather however many Gb/s you are being bombarded with, and still having some spare capacity for legitimate traffic?
we don't, generally we love animals but foxes are a blight for many people, they will kill and eat garden-based pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and tortoises, and wildlife like hedgehogs, squirrels, mice, etc.

Their defecate is rather repellant, and they happily do it all over your property.

Lastly, they will figure out how to open your food waste and general waste and have a pinata party with it.

I actually like them and have assisted in relocating and treating them on behalf of charities.

Aren’t commercial real estate owners famous for not lowering prices? They don’t want to accept a lower rent amount as it lowers the valuation of their portfolio?
The books Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale [1] and Rhythm and Transforms [2] by Sethares have a lot of detail about the perception of higher level phenomena like pitch and rhythm. Plus he's an electrical engineer, so you get some code out of the deal. He doesn't dwell too much on the neuroscience aspect though--in both cases he's after a more functional explanation.

This is my favorite new AI argument, took me a few months to see it. Enjoyed it at first.

You start with everyone knows there's AI hype from tech bros. Then you introduce a PhD or two at institutions with good names. Then they start grumbling about anthropomorphizing and who knows what AI is anyway.

Somehow, if it's long enough, you forget that this kind of has nothing to do with anything. There is no argument. Just imagining other people must believe crazy things and working backwards from there to find something to critique.

Took me a bit to realize it's not even an argument, just parroting "it's a stochastic parrot!" Assumes other people are dunces and genuinely believe it's a minihuman. I can't believe MIT Tech Review is going for this, the only argument here is the tests are flawed if you think they're supposed to show the AI model is literally human.
No word on the origin of these attacks? This must require massive amounts of hardware, you’d imagine it to be easily traceable unless some kind of botnet.
Sure, I’ll spill the beans. Some people think it’s related to Gaza or Ukraine but it’s not. We just really don’t like Google, we are trying to shut it down so we can bring back Altavista.
There are pretty good mass transit systems in Hong Kong, London, Singapore, Taipei. Bangkok's is good but it is criminally poor in coverage and overwhelmed in peak hours (which is nearly all the time). Every major Chinese city has one. Sydney's is OK too but has poor coverage in certain areas and is aging disgracefully. Paris' metro ghetto is uniquely urine-smelling and poorly maintained. Prague's is good. Berlin's is good. New York. I mean, why would you move to Japan? I don't understand why people like the place.
Often it means automatically recognizing DDoS requests and handling them in a way that is less costly, without impacting legitimate users.

In this case, it might mean recognizing when a client rapidly resets streams, and either moving that traffic to a slow lane or filtering it entirely.
Musks takeover of Twitter is not a particularly compelling example of this model. In a year he’s cut revenue by 40% (with every month trending worse than the last), not made it cash flow positive even with massive cuts, and is burdened it with tons of debt while making it worth much less. Twitter may turn around but right now I can’t imagine corporate raiders are looking at it as a positive example.

GraphQL is well over a decade old. I'm not sure "tried and tested" is a meaningful contrast between the two approaches at this point, especially as it relates to API requests from the frontend. It's okay for people to choose REST just because they like it better, and/or aren't interested in learning something different.
One could imagine that, given the size, it could be politically or legally sensitive to announce the origin.
I think this is a great point. One flipper 7000 times is quite different than 7000 flippers one time, if the aim is to see whether there is an underlying bias.

Loading ML models into GPU memory.
Microsoft and GitHub are running a 30-day challenge on Microsoft Learn focused on GitHub, Codespaces, and GitHub Copilot.
We also shared an article about how we run these indexing jobs at scale at deepset with kubernetes, SQS, s3 and KEDA.

TL;DR: Queue upload events via SQS, upload files to s3, scale consumers based on queue length with keda and use haystack to turn files into embeddings.

This also works for arbitrary pipelines with your models, custom nodes (python code snippeds) and is pretty efficient.

Odin uses ^ because pointers are pointy.
Cloudflare, and other companies, can detect that requests are DDoS and either drop, throttle, or verify the traffic, instead of forwarding it your server.

You configure your server to drop all traffic which wasn't set by cloudflare, which is efficient.
The fact that large cloud providers can handle huge DDoS attacks I think in the long run leads to a worse internet. It forces botnets to up their game and for websites the only solutions available are to pay Google, Amazon or Cloudflare a protection tax.

I honestly don't see any other options, but I'd really wish for them to come through some community coordinated list of botnet infected IPs or something.
> there's always a comment that says something along the lines of "ah did you test it on GPT-4"?

Perhaps because whenever there's "a news or article noting the limits of current LLM tech", it's a bit like someone tried to play a modern game on a machine they found in their parents' basement, and the only appropriate response to this is, "have you tried running it on something other than a potato"? This has been happening so often over the past few months that it's the first red flag you check for.

GPT-4 is still qualitatively ahead of all other LLMs, so outside of articles addressing specialized aspects of different model families, the claims are invalid unless they were tested on GPT-4.

(Half the time the problem is that the author used ChatGPT web app and did not even realize there are two models and they've been using the toy one.)

It makes me a functional adult though I feel it does stifle my creativity in a way. But off my medication, that creative drive may meander about yielding very little.

Lately I have felt I rely on the medication more to be productive when I know best practice is skills before pills.
Yes, though that has two obvious issues:

- It might detect the sandbox and refuse to run the game

- If more seriously malicious, it might quietly escape the sandbox at first opportunity - say, a sandbox-escape exploit which the game provider obtains before the user can/does install the security patch
Investor Database for Startups and Entrepreneurs
I am sharing the investor database that I've personally built while doing fundraising for Stack Browser. This database encompasses 107 investors—including top VCs, Angels, and Accelerators—each of whom I've personally interacted with during our fundraising cycles.

This is not just a random list of VCs you can find on Gumroad. As I mentioned, I've personally met every single one of them. The investors can be categorized by Size, Country, Stage, and Direct Contact Role with more than 70 general/managing partners.

Share it with your friends who are actively raising or planning to raise funds soon. I'm sharing this for *FREE* with the hope it helps fellow founders in their fundraising journeys. However, I would appreciate a follow on Twitter [https://twitter.com/dachigubadze]

I don't mean it as a commentary or opinion on Nvidia, but hearing Cathy Woods talking about Nvidia is as if she's just doubling down on her bad decision based on her initial gut feeling which she is too stubborn to admit that was wrong.

To me it just seems like she happens to pick some stocks based on gut feeling because of some random detail she liked about it and then will say whatever to justify her positions afterwards.

"I'm aware of how the acquisition took place."

Are you? Because your comments don't reflect that. "We all" don't "know" that, actually. Maybe they were, but as I understand it IBM's bid was unsolicited.

Do you have a citation for the claim Jim "pocketed the most money" from the sale? I am sure he made plenty, but so did the other execs, so did the shareholders -- the sale price was quite a premium on the share price.

Red Hat was a public company. Too many people have magical thinking about how Red Hat's execs should've run the company according to their ideals when the reality is if Jim ran the company the way you'd have liked it would've probably triggered an investor lawsuit.

If you want ideological purity to the satisfaction of your FOSS standards, then working for a public company is a path to unhappiness every time.

I didn't agree with every choice made by Jim and the rest of Red Hat's leadership at the time -- but he was a decent CEO within the parameters allowed for public company CEOs.
Any clue who was the target?

Can such an attack be performed with botnets?

> The ability to detect (and possibly correct) physical memory errors.

This is a great example of theoretical benefits (note I'm not saying that those theoretical benefits are real, I'm asking how they practically benefit me).

> The "that I'm aware of" part is the key issue.

Ok so tell me what it looks like. _That's_ what I want to know.

> into the health of the physical memory that you otherwise wouldn't have.

And does what, on my windows workstation or my linux workstation?

> Side-band ECC (which is what you'd use on desktops/workstations/servers) doesn't have a performance hit, as the overhead of ECC is fully neutralized by the additional bandwidth and capacity of an ECC DIMM.

That statement doesn't hold water. If it takes extra bandwidth and capacity to provide ECC, I can use the extra bandwidth as memory instead of error correction, no? (Or I could if the non-ecc DIMM utilised that range). Either way, it's an extra x bits for ECC that _could_ be used for storage.
In Minecraft, Survival Mode is the main thing. While you can still build, of course, and you likely will to create a base, I would not say building is actually a major part of the game anymore. Comparing to legos feels a bit off. I played a lot of Minecraft, thousands of hours, a fair bit of that was with mods. A run just tended to peter out after a few weeks. I'm not saying you'd stop at the Ender Dragon either, but once you've done "all the stuff", it's often more fun to either start over or play a different game for a while. I know when hosting servers for a dozen or so active players, most people didn't stick around more than a few weeks, and often they'd ask for a "reset" at some point because the early-game progression was more fun than having a bunch of endgame stuff and not much left to do.
Terraria has a much larger focus on combat than Minecraft and many more bosses and clear progression, but I still think of them similarly here. I don't have some 15 year old Minecraft map/server, I have many distinct memories of playing through the game for a while with different people at different times, starting over is just part of it. That goes for Terraria as well, it's borderline taboo to bring a character with progress into a new world if your friend is starting a new character, and if you both had endgame characters it just wouldn't be that interesting.
While a speedrunner might skip a lot of the game's content to get to beating the Ender Dragon, a more typical player would probably just get a good mine, good farm, good stockpile of crafting materials, maybe upgrade/rebuild their base once or twice, and eventually not have much left to do. I know there are people building computers in both of these games, but as far as real world cases, almost no one I know even touches Redstone beyond the minimum. I see these more as adventure/sandbox games than building games, even if you can build. I do more terraforming and spelunking than building things just for the sake of it. Expanding your base is often to fit more chests or in the case of Terraria, because you need more places for NPCs to move in so you can access new shops.
If building things was a major goal of yours, then it certainly gets easier once you have upgraded movement and mining speed and so on, I just find that I/we usually stop playing around then.

All the more reason why everyone should be forced to do quarterly estimated taxes (like 1099 or non W2 workers do) instead of having the amount automatically withheld every paycheck by the payroll system.

I imagine the marketing staff costs alone would massively exceed that.
New headline suggestion: Unnamed group creates larges DDoS attack to date.
Sorry, I had posted a partial reply before finishing writing the complete one.

As I have written above, a language with implicit dereferencing needs additional syntactic means for denoting the cases when the values of the pointers are needed, e.g. for doing pointer arithmetic, which is frequent in C.

If dereferencing would have been made implicit, that would have required a large number of changes in the language. C++ has introduced pointers with implicit dereferencing, i.e. what C++ calls references, but due to the fact that the other syntax changes that are needed have not been made, because they would break compatibility, the C++ references can replace C pointers only in a subset of their uses.
Pascal uses this syntax.

Also "pointer to integer" is written as "^integer" which is better than "int".

Syntax also doesn't allow confusing stuff like like "int a, b;".
yes I agree,
reverse engineering is part of the endeavor (to understand the protocol, and the content of the messages).

almost all game have bots and bot developers go through this step, so you can save some time if you find the right forums/communities for your game where they share this kind of info among each other.

this simple inspection can at least help you weed out simpler attempts. but can't guarantee that the game is clean.

as sibling comments pointed out, these days with anti-cheat mechanism being so intrusive that they have kernel level access to your computer with some even having the kernel driver running even when the game is not running. I think that was the case for genshin impact and valorant. genshin's anti-cheat apparently was even hacked to be used by ransomware at some point in the past.

games with kernel access can do so much more than just being a keylogger, they can own your computer, listen to the traffic on you network.

it's best to treat all of them as compromised super-viruses you willingly decided to install on your computer.
buy a separate computer that act as a console, isolated from the rest of your network and do nothing but gaming in it. or just don't play them.
i appreciate your concern. the above is my sincere opinion, however I will refrain from posting political comments if that offends you.

Not only sunken costs, but building an engine is no easy task. It’s easier to write a game than to write an engine (most of the time).

I do think this is the right approach. This is the approach I took. I was dependent on an engine for a long time until I realized it was just a facade and that I already possessed the knowledge to do it myself. So when XNA died, and MonoGame wasn’t mature yet, I had no choice but to write my own. Some of that effort went into MonoGame’s early days, most of it didn’t (I respect keeping the API the same but we, devs, could have done better to improve it).

Unity made it easy to build games without having to know the underlying proponents that do what they do. Instead, it’s presented through a massively opaque interface called a MonoBehavior. Because of this opaque abstraction, it’s almost impossible for a Unity game developer to know exactly what’s going on under the hood.

My first game engine took me 3 years to get to a point where I could ship something. My second was 1 year. My latest was 3 months.

Eventually, it becomes just adding another interface to your GPU abstraction to support wgpu or DX14, or Vulkan2, or Metal, any graphics api becomes just a Buffer, a Queue, and a sync lock.
There's millions of downloads every week for mui and bootstrap. Anyone using them is using something like theme-ui.
When the ddos attack is volumetric, the only way to mitigate it is to have a fat enough network to handle the traffic while you work with ISPs to start blocking the traffic upstream.

Not all ddos attacks are based on volume though, some are exploiting native features of a protocol, like the slow loris attack

This excludes most AAA multiplayer games with anti-cheat. I'm not disagreeing with you, only pointing out that it's an unfortunate mainstream trend.
There’s easy solutions to that if it ever becomes a problem (the easiest is a vacancy tax) but it’s not currently a problem in the US as can be seen from the fact that places which have built more housing in the past decade or so have much lower rents than similar places that haven’t built as much housing.
