I really like I2P as a project, and I think it gets a lot of things right. For example having every network participant relay some internal traffic, instead of relying on altruism from relay operators, makes it much harder for a single entity to control enough hops to deanonymize users.

Sadly, outside of torrenting I2P doesn't seem to have much traction, losing out to the better funded tor project

I find it worse than a waste of time; I find it distracts from the plot.

I'm no prude, and I have no problem with porn. But for the most part, I find the mandatory sex scene is a huge distraction from the plot. Why not hint at it, like they used to?

I re-watched Don't Look Back the other night; the sex scene in that movie is fine, because it really is part of the plot. But chucking in a long, sweaty sex scene just because you've cast a pretty actress is stupid. I treat it like an ad-break - I either fast-forward, or I go to make a cup of tea.

MAME is absolutely amazing when doing reverse engineering stuff. For example I'm trying to do it with an old keyboard from the 90s (the Roland D70) and I built an emulator for it in just a day with MAME. Just had to dial in the CPU type, the memory map and the OS rom dump. And boom, the UI of the synth magically appeared in the emulator.

I mean, that's par for the course when talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It almost invariably devolves into extreme rhetoric. I have a feeling this post will be taken down because of this. Hopefully not, since this story isn't about the conflict, it's about Cancel Culture, IMHO.

People should be allowed to have personal lives that are separate from their work lives. If you were CEO of a large company, does that mean everything you say and do is now an official statement or action of that company? I really hope not.
And yet interracial relationships were a major plot point of both All In The Family and its spinoff The Jeffersons way back in the 1970s. And the topic was treated with some level of seriousness, unlike what you would see today.

My own experiences in a mixed family looks a lot closer to how the topic was discussed back then then it's portrayed on TV now.

It's true that there are not a lot of datasets for benchmarking RAG. RAG applications are so tailored to the specific data being used as well as the use case, that a benchmark dataset is not useful across different RAG applications. The data used for a RAG application could be slack messages, technical documentation, insurance policies, internal company microsoft word documents, or a combination of these. For each of these different data source examples, the benchmark dataset would need to be very different.

We recommend that when building a RAG application, the developers build a benchmark dataset specifically tailored to the data being used for the RAG application, and the use case of the RAG application.

I was trying to start working out at the gym and to fight boredom I brought my tablet with me to watch an old show (Northern Exposure). I was on the elliptical watching an episode and up pops a sex scene, and I could see one guy maybe giving me a weird look, but I was uncomfortable watching it because if someone looked at the wrong time it may appear that I was watching porn, and could get me kicked out of the gym (for watching a 30 year old network TV show!)

There's also Cave Story, which came out in 2004. I find it really impressive that the creator made the art, music, music editor, sound effect editor, music format, game engine, and stage editor, with only C++ and the Win32 interface, all while keeping a full time job (although he deliberately picked a low-key job at a printer company so he could work on Cave Story in his free time more). And halfway through, he got married and had kids, which slowed development.

Black locust is basically as good as ipe--competitive in characteristics like hardness and rot resistance, and I think slighly lower in price. It has been used for years for fence posts and now a lumber industry for it seems to be maturing. Apparently it grows like a weed and is even considered invasive in some places.

I used black locust for a large porch and am very pleased with it.

Vanguard's website has always been a mess, to be honest. It's really hard to figure out how to do some basic stuff like transfer money.

> This is unfortunately completely naive. Of course model checkers miss things.

Perhaps you're thinking of a static analyzer which is something different.

The ENTIRE POINT of a model checker is that it translates the program into a constraint solver. Can it miss things? Yes, if there is a bug in the translation. It can't be trusted for things that it can't detect, but a model check is equivalent to a constructive proof. It just doesn't have some tools like induction that make constructive proofs necessary in cases where model checking fails.

There is no such thing as a magic tool. The scenarios under model check must be properly built, just like any formal proof. But, a constructive proof assistant and a SMT solver are both forms of proof engines. A model checker uses an SMT solver.

The seL4 team uses model checking as well, in the generated code. They trust model checking in these cases because it's thorough. If it missed things, it would be pointless to use.
Indeed. It's hilarious to see some Americans claiming things are so much better in "Europe" when their entire experience consists of a few weeks as a tourist or business traveler in first-tier EU cities. Try living for a while in the places where outsiders rarely go and then tell me how great it is.

It's mostly not true that you still pay for resource usage on top of the Outpost unit. That's only true, AFAIK, for EBS local snapshots and Route 53 Resolver endpoints. The big boys--EC2 instances, S3 storage, and EBS volumes--are all "free" on Outposts. That is, included in the cost of the unit and not double-charged.

Charging for EBS local snapshots on your own Outpost S3 storage and Route 53 Resolvers on your own compute is a weird one. I don't know how they defend that. To me, it seems indefensible.

Are you claiming that most 21-year-old L.A. residents would be destroyed by $1000/month? I've lived in L.A. for more than 20 years, so I somewhat know the culture. My guess is the overwhelming majority would use the $1000 for a car payment and insurance. And I'd bet serious money on it.

I still visit /., I just avoid the comments because its 4chan-y in there. My first /. account was created in 1997.

What I like about /. interface is that there is a summary under each article, and there are only ~10 articles on the main page, and I find the topics more focused on what I'm interested in.

HN is just a flood of random stuff and I'm usually only interested in ~10% of what's on the front page, compared to 80% of /. front page. HN needs channels.
I have been following oxide for a bit, and really don't have to add to the tech conversation, but do want to say:

Congrats to the team on reaching this big milestone and (in my eyes at least) just as much congratulations on doing it in a way that has been unique and sticking to values that seems to drive a strong positive culture (at least from the outside looking in).

Shipping products is hard, and only getting harder. IMHO, one of the big drivers of that is just how complex every market has became. Building and selling software alone is so much more multi-disciplinary than it was 10 years ago and adding hardware to the mix is upping that by a huge factor. As I look around, I see so many companies struggle to build teams that can handle the huge range of required tasks. To see a company like Oxide that (once again, from the outside a least) seems to have things together on so many fronts, especially while doing it while sticking strongly to some core values, is pretty inspiring.

Not to get overly cynical, but I don't think it is an extreme opinion to say that current start-up culture feels like you have to make big compromises in what you believe in order to be successful. Whether that be open-source, how you value and pay employees, or even just rushing things to deliver that aren't ready.

While I acknowledge Oxide has some well-connected, experienced founders that I am certain enabled them to get the resources and trust to do things their way, I really hope they kill it so that other founders and builders can learn that you still can build not just financially successful products, but great organizations that truly care about their values.

> As a driver merging into a roundabout I find I have far less cognitive load.

What I've seen first hand in Ontario/Canada is that there's a huge increase in cognitive load simply because the roundabouts are still fairly new. Most drivers were never taught about them. They've just appeared. And they aren't completely intuitive for many drivers -- so their entry/exit isn't always ideal/safe.
> This honestly looks simple enough that a developer/DevOps team could manage it. With the other 'hyperconverged' infrastructure offerings you will still need a dedicated team of trained ops professionals to manage it.

That seems like the best explanation of the value here I've heard so far! I could definitely see a number of SMBs whose use cases are expensive in AWS/etc and would be a good fit for a few racks in a datacenter, but who don't want the cost of a team to manage them. If this significantly lowers the skill threshold necessary to run servers in a datacenter, I could see that being a huge value prop.

I was never big on Sonic Youth but I met Thurston Moore at a poetry reading when he was touring around for his book. I went because a friend suggested. I was in awe at his ease with fans and his general excitement for "the scene". I wish that was how most musicians treated their local following. Great music is fostered by local communities and he knew that and emphasized it. I admire that as much as I admire his talent.
I'd also recommend Blankman to fans of the MCU (Man Cinematic Universe).
Do they raise those sorts of numbers in series A, though? Other comments in this thread seem to suggest they've raised a surprisingly large amount of money for such an early stage of the typical fundraising process. If it is atypically high it would make sense to me—it's hardware which requires more up-front capital, and it's a rockstar team so I understand why investors would have confidence in them—but from what little I know about fundraising it does seem remarkable to me.
