Sorry, when you accuse dead children of planting bombs and deny/minimize the documented crimes against medical personnel shot with explosive bullets https://youtu.be/HnZSaKYmP2s?t=3152 as "defending the border"; there is no talking while remaining diplomatic here.

Force is the only thing you will respect and is why Hamas exists. Until Israel starts treating others with a semblance of humanity, there will never be peace.

If you visit Canada, feel free to say hi. Perhaps I could introduce you to my jewish neighbor (and Israeli reservist) who hopped on the first plane to go commit war crimes. Only a few weeks vacation to commit atrocities and he will be back. Of course, no one will call him a terrorist or war criminal or hold him accountable; hell, he even gets called "Canadian" despite not hesitating to obey the orders of a foreign government.

All cool and normal.

Sounds like unions should be exposed to market competition; the effects you describe is what happens in a monopoly.
In my experience, if a piece of code is stateful and is called from several different services, then it should be its own service. Otherwise it is usually better off as a library.
Sounds like bike shedding to the rest of us. Anthropology has a lot to say about economic history, particularly when it comes to debunking some of the foundational myths like Smith's 'barter theory.' Graeber's take is legit anthropological critique, not armchair econ. His lack of an Econ PhD doesn't negate the value of his work in the least; after all, a lot of what passes for economic 'common sense' is actually historical narrative, which is exactly where anthropology excels. Cross-pollination between disciplines is how we get past stale paradigms.

As per 'direct contributions,' to what? This is vacuous. If you're looking for direct policy changes, new economic theories, or shifts in economic practice explicitly derived from that book, the evidence might be less concrete given the book's recent publication and its cross-disciplinary nature.

if contributions are broadly understood as influencing the discourse, prompting reevaluation of economic history, or enriching economic thought with anthropological insights, then Graeber's work has clearly made an impact. The book has been widely discussed and cited in various academic and non-academic circles, suggesting that it has stimulated thought and conversation, although not be immediately quantifiable in economic terms.

It's worth noting that the impact of theoretical work often becomes more apparent over time as it permeates through discussion, critique, and successive scholarship.

I'd also like to point out that economic anthropology is an academic field in it own right, for which Graber is considered a significant contributor. Graeber's work, in particular, has been pivotal in encouraging economists, historians, archeologist, etc, to think more critically about the origins and functions of debt, money, and economic systems. Economies are complex, culturally rich phenomena, not just market transactions (something Econ models often miss.)

How can anyone seriously type this? If you fuck up bigly enough, you will 100%—without fault—get sacked. Again, not even talking about long tails (bad economic conditions, layoffs, etc.).

This is under totally normal situations: if you lose the company money, you will be fired. As a bonus, you also lose unvested options or equity. These kinds of posts are exactly why engineers have garbage bonuses compared to finance even though they probably generate an order of magnitude more value.
Thank you for writing a hilarious and painfully true slice of office life.
Oh, I see. So the market is effectively local, like a neighborhood or small community, which means a single entity can more easily dominate it.
Yeah essentially this. Then have something crawl your database and find IP's that are crawling your dummy pages, and block those. Most of it is EC2/GCP instances and Azure VMs that people spin up with stolen cards, so you have to block a lot of 3rd party vendors. OVH and some others came up often. Lot's of crawling companies were using end user VPNs, so those are harder to block.

The best thing I found was dummy pages to block IPs of bad actors. Also, serving different urls with JS enabled versus disabled, but showing your page as something that works without JS.

Unfortunately, as good as CloudFlare is, their layer-7 isn't going to help you if someone is targeting you.
Madoff pulled a ponzi scheme for years, despite multiple complaints filed by third parties to the SEC. At the end the 2008 crisis brought him down, his victims lost their money and the SEC just tagged the bodies it found.

Same goes for the crypto guy, did regulations stop him from defrauding billions and hurting thousands of victims?

If you're under attack now, you should get a new public IP first. Then you can hide behind Cloudflare and drop all unproxied connections. Unless and until you get a new IP, no amount of Cloudflare wizardry can stop all the direct traffic that you're already getting.

If your host's bandwidth is so completely saturated by the attack that no amount of IP switching will help, well, you should find a new host.

A lot of the problem is that the types of people who care about deterministic results care more about asymptotic runtime than wall clock runtime. The other problem is that the asymptotics of AKS are still pretty bad (log(n)^7.5 vs log(n)^2 for Miller Rabin).
How can an order that puts restrictions on the creation of powerful models somehow be twisted to claim that those restrictions are required to increase the availability of that tool?

Further, the white houses stated reason for invoking the act is to "These measures will ensure AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy before companies make them public." None of those reasons seem to align with the DFA. That doesn't make them good, or bad. It just seems like a misguided use of the law they're using to justify it. Get Congress to pass a law if you want regulations.
People are addicted to free, but they should be paying for something that they spend so much time on.

Why you're terrible at making new habits – and how to finally make them stick
I talked with some hiring managers about this a few years ago. About 5 years ago, female devs with an undergrad degree made up less than 20% of the available hiring pool. There's a preference to hire female developers, but finding them is incredibly difficult - which is partly why there's a preference. I wouldn't call that discrimination in hiring when it's simply trying to balance a dev team that's 4/5ths males.
> It doesn't lack a definition, there's lots of people talking about this. In general you'll find something like "a small service that solves one problem within a single bounded context".

How small is small? Even within this comment section there are people talking about a single developer being the sole maintainer of multiple microservices. I'm a strong advocate of (micro?)service architecture but I would never recommend doing the "all behavior is 100-line lambda functions" approach.

A horrible monolith vs horrible microservices is subjective, of course, but IMO having everything self-contained to one repository, one collection of app servers, etc. at least gives you some hope of salvation, often by building new functionality in separate services, ironically. Horrible microservices that violate data boundaries, i.e. multiple services sharing a database which is a sadly common mistake, is a much harder problem to solve. (both are bad, of course!)
Yeah, my last company had 10 microservices (the entirety of their codebase) managed by a single team when I started. Some of them had fewer than 5 API endpoints (and weren't doing anything complex to justify that).
The Ford Maverick is a smash hit. It reminds me of the Ford Escape hybrid back in the day. It is an entry level truck with a hybrid powertrain that gets compact car fuel efficiency (40 mpg!)

I am not particularly paranoid about crime but I can't understand the appeal of the pickup truck bed. My dad was a carpenter and never had anybody steal tools out of a 1970s boat car or a VW Rabbit that he took the back seats out of. I learned to drive in an underpowered F150 that struggled to make it up hills on the freeway. I thought it was hard to shift at the time and eventually discovered it was easier to drive a school bus or a pre-synchromesh tractor than to drive that truck. Multiple times he had people smash the windows on the bed cover and steal tools.

To the contrary for years the one vehicle on our farm was a Honda Fit and we never had trouble stuffing feed bags, sawdust bags and the occasional hay bale in the back.
Correct, is way worse. Proletarians don't have any capital to lose. Capitalists do. So if they lose their capital, they can just be like the rest of us. If we (proletarians) lose our job, we risk poverty and death.
Have you considered geforce now? A lot more affordable than a GPU. You get a 4080 for $20 a month, no commitment.

Compliance costs and exposure to political risk is the primary driver of going or staying private in the US. A company immediately becomes a target for governmental and NGO political pressures once it becomes public. Now it no longer can focus on designing, producing, and selling the best products and services at a good profit for its shareholders, it must devote a substantial percentage of its efforts on hiring lawyers, PR specialists, and lobbyists. More recently the SEC has morphed from an agency whose primary goal was transparency of investment risk, to a cudgel for enforcing preferred political goals. Nobody wants a target on their back if they can avoid it. A company only goes public when it has no choice when it runs out of investors or shareholders need liquidity. Pretty ironic IMO that same voices that identified public corporations as the enemy are now lamenting their demise.
"I find it odd that there is this widespread meme—on HN, not in the industry—that microservices are never justified"

I think the problem is the word "micro". At my company I see a lot of projects that are run by three devs that and have 13 microservices. They are easy to develop but the maintenance overhead is enormous. And they never get shared between projects so you have 5 services that do basically the same.
A lot of knowledge is locked up in the chemical profession. The intersection between qualified chemists and crazy people is, absolutely, a small number. If regular people start to get access to that knowledge it could be a problem.

If 5% of the time the discrediting is legitimate, then that should be enough to generate dislike for the man. If the 5% was rhetorical and it's really 0%, then you're not actually paying attention for reasons you should investigate. JBP is not a well man.

The huge cab and tiny bed seems to answer this question :)

Maybe, the non-commercial utility truck folks will start taking interest when 5-10 year old models enter the used market if they're still functional and proven to be durable. At least I will - My use case is basically hauling loads of (sometimes literal) crap around the surrounding towns where EV range is no concern, and where cosmetic body damage is unavoidable so tons of integrated sensors are bad. It is disappointing that there are no electric trucks priced accordingly to this use case as ICE sedans are better for long highway trips and I really only want a beater truck for local trips

Also would seem cool to be able to weld from the car battery but realistically would want a backup generator to avoid trouble
The surprising thing about that video is how it helped me a lot with my CAD.
This looks close to the alternative cybertruck design that was allegedly leaked months ago. It would be interesting to see if they capture more sales than Tesla.

Most of the time, rebar and concrete is placed and poured in the vertical column created by laying the block effectively turning into a vertical slab. It’s so much easier to build a wood-frame dummy wall on the inside to house utilities.
I'm doing well by mapping out my days. I have all my projects written down, with dating being one of them. And then I just plan at what day I do what.

This isn't a truck.

This is an SUV that is vaguely truck shaped.

I want a small truck with a 6 foot/ 2m bed, and regular cab so the vehicle is still a reasonable length that can fit in a parking space. 3/4 ton or 1 ton suspension like on some of the old small Toyota trucks would be ideal. I'd like to get this small truck with a few safety features like air bags that are missing from the 70's - early 90's Japanese trucks that otherwise fit the bill.

I don't understand why automakers seem incapable of building a small truck anymore. There are smaller cars that pass safety testing, so that is not it.
I really don't get why everyone is obsessed with trucks. They are wonderful at hauling stuff and having a large bed to carry items. But the maverick bed is 54 inches... Might as well just buy a SUV. You can put the seats down and carry way more then a truck can, and they are about half the price.

I run a fanless CWWK one with OPNSense and it’s been rock solid. I have i-226 and I got pretty lucky because it got added to support a couple weeks before I tried it (I probably should have checked but I naively assumed it would worked since the i-225 works). I’ve been running for almost 8 months? And I haven’t touched it besides running an update for OPNsense and NGFW. I use an omada AP and I get around 800 Mbps internet on hardwire and 4-500 on wifi 6. I have like one device for 6E so I kept that feature off to save some electricity. I also only have one 2.5G Ethernet device so I never got to test the iperf for it. But with about 30ish devices on the network, I use at most 30% cpu and 12GB of RAM but most of it is the ZFS cache. I think OPNsense with NGFW is about 6GB)
Orange Pi also has a bunch of extra features too including some standout ones like

* don't need to spend extra $$ for M.1 SSD support

* full-size HDMI so no need for $10 dongle

* 6 TOPS NPU

* better Mali G610 MP4 GPU

* 8k60 output

* USB 3.1 port (10gb/s instead of just 5gb/s)

* 4x A55 cores

* Audio jack
Show HN: Logos Shift Cloud – automatically finetune and replace expensive LLM
Great LLMs are best at general tasks.

However, once you know what you want, you should finetune and switch to your finetuned LLM.

Logos Shift Cloud handles this automatically

All you need is to add this to your call:

```
@logos_shift(dataset="story")
def get_story(model, messages):
"""Generates a story"""
completion = expensiveLLM.create(model=model, messages=messages)
story_d = {'story': completion['choices'][0]['message']}
return story_d
```

This will automatically log all inputs and outputs to this function unobtrusively.
Once your model is ready, it will automatically A/B rollout your finetuned LLM.

No code changes necessary.
Enjoy faster and cheaper results.

No proxies so you don't add one more dependency.
The client code is open sourced at https://github.com/virevolai/logos-shift-client/ which includes the instrumentation, router for switching, and exactly how this works.

It's only 530 lines of code. No complex libraries.

If you do not want to use the Cloud solution, you can always just use Logos Shift for saving to local host and finetune yourself.

```
logos_shift = LogosShift(api_key=None, filename="api_calls.log")
```

Let us know how we can make this experience better.
Show HN: BucketArchiver – A Lean Solution for S3 Bucket to Tarball Workflows
Hi HN,

We're the BucketArchiver team and both of us have been working in the field of cloud infra consultancy. Customers frequently asked us to build something that allows them to easily get data out of S3 and so've built something that does exactly that: BucketArchiver.

It's basically a workflow along the lines of: (EventBridge scheduler ->) StepFunctions exec -> creates EC2 instance -> reads input bucket -> streams tarball to output bucket -> destroys EC2 instance -> publishes to SNS.

Here's why you should consider using it:
- makes it simple to maintain archival copies for copying to on-prem or other external to AWS places

- does _not_ have any always on EC2 infrastructure that you have to pay for as EC2 instances are spun up/down on demand.

- runs within your AWS account and instances have only streaming access to the data on S3 with no local storage.

- integrate into existing AWS workflows using StepFunctions and SNS.

- Comes with ops tooling such as CloudWatch dashboards and metrics.

- Same charge independent of EC2 instance type.

- use pigz to compress in parallel to speed things up.

- is a AWS marketplace solution delivered as CloudFormation templates.

Check it out at https://www.bucketarchiver.com. We have a 14 day trial to check things out first.

We're pretty flexible on adding things to BucketArchiver and eager to hear from users. We'd love to hear your thoughts and we're happy to answer any questions you may have.

Money has been a proxy for violence for a long time. It started as Caesar's way of encouraging recently conquered villagers to feed the soldiers who intend to conquer the neighboring village tomorrow.

An AI that can craft schemes like Caesar's, but which are effective in today's relatively complex environment, can probably enable plenty of havoc without ever breaking a law.

Those companies are only at risk of insolvency if their debt is variable rate or has a balloon payment due soon. I imagine most PE firms are smart enough to avoid those risks. Banks are also incentivized to negotiate with debtors in those situations since the asset is worth more as a going concern than it would be in bankruptcy and banks don't want to operate a business (they have no expertise there).

Most PE deals would work (with lower returns) without any debt. The debt allows them to diversify into more deals (since they put less equity into any given deal).
>One of the things I've noticed with a number of recent strikes (not all, but a bunch) is how many are not over pay but primarily over working conditions. E.g. there was a big strike by nurses in Austin whose primary concern was woefully short staffing that was leaving nurses burnt out and making it difficult to provide adequate care.

Actualized pay is often more the issue here, however we look at or segment it (working conditions, net pay, etc). It's about the net transaction of your time for labor vs compensation. Magnitude of compensation is important because people need enough money and free time to make it worth working, but there are many ways to squeeze this, just as your example points out. Understaffing, pushing increased productivity requirements, tucking in new responsibilities, reducing benefits in some way, slacking on safety or security, etc. It's difficult to quantify all of this for most people so we often just look at pay. We'll, getting paid more than enough to live comfortably.. sure, but maybe you're working long hours to get that and stressed out of your mind. Maybe you're losing sleep. Maybe you're sacrificing your health to focus on improved business outputs.

It's an in/out situation, are you getting enough out for what you put in and that's often the issue. Any business paying market rates will be quick to point at salary and ignore everything else because it's very easy to discuss, compare, and argue about.
