Hi,

Georg - one of the authors is here.

Indeed, we used LLMs/GPT4 for proof reading and enhancing the English language (we are not native speakers).

We were thinking about breaking up the content - but decided that one long post is a better fit.

> > We show a way how you can combine the best of both worlds

In fact, that sentence I wrote by hand : )
If it was open source, would you recommend Unifi to your family? I feel like family will either be technical enough to understand OPNSense, or not technical at all at which point even Unifi is not something they'll manage themselves.

I actually run OPNSense for myself at home, but for my parents I deployed full Unifi. This way if there's any problem, I can remotely look at the network in the cloud console and try and see what's wrong.
Had a "is this actually your local console?" Prompt from protect this morning. I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
This is great news. We can always use better treatments. I had a case of metastatic melanoma (III-A) in my early 20's and the drug of choice at that time was interferon, which was not a particularly pleasant experience. There were experimental vaccines at the time as well, so these new vaccines have been multiple decades in the making.

As some unsolicited practical advice, yes, it's always good to protect one's self from the sun using long sleeves or sunscreen. However, melanoma can and often does occur in areas that does not receive sun exposure. This could be between your toes or inside your butt cheeks. As a result, it's worthwhile to have a dermatologist conduct a skin exam once a year. Normally, this is covered under a specialist visit for insurance and for many insurance plans this is a flat fee.

Outside of a regular exam, any growth that has unusual size, shape, or color should be checked by a dermatologist, especially if it changes. My lesion was raised off the skin and red in color. It also changed and grew over time. If one can not immediately see a dermatologist, lacks insurance, or money for a visit, regular pictures of the skin blemish or growth can help track changes. If it changes, though, it really does require a dermatologist to look at it.

Lastly, dermatologists can and do make mistakes. In my case, my lesion was dismissed as a benign nevus at first visit. When I revisted the physician six months later, it was larger and was finally biopsied to discover it was melanoma. It is possible that the cancer metastasized in the interim period, but we'll never know. That said, if one is concerned about a growth and the physician defers, it is very simple to tell the dermatologist that you'd feel more comfortable if we biopsied the growth just to be sure. You don't have to be mean and I've never been refused. At that point, they take a small sample of the growth and send it to the lab. Then, you know for sure. Normally, the sample is taken by using a razor blade and skimming off some of the surface. It's fast, easy, and while not painless, it is not particularly painful. Generally, this is rolled into my specialist visit fee for insurance, but they may send an additional billing code to insurance.

Finally, dermatolgists can be difficult to schedule with. Honestly, their schedule is often filled with cosmetic procedures like skin peels and botox because it's so profitable. That said, any dermatologist can do a biopsy, so just call around to find one with an opening that takes your particular insurance.

I apologist for the side talk. I often find the whole talk to your doc discussion regarding skin lacks details, so hopefully this helps. Great to hear that the treatments are progressing.
I don't follow these things particularly closely and I don't consider myself particularly concerned with health issues, but for some reason I always had it in my head that the general rule of thumb was six months of no alcohol before trying to conceive. Weirdly this article seems to be portraying this three month rule as a shockingly strict new development.
That sound like a terrible workplace.

For your own home, if not Ubiquiti, what do you use nowadays?
Tried it myself and they don't appear to have implemented the part of the scan that would catch this, relevant snippet from the logs:

Everything's unaffordable at first. It only gets better when enough people are using it that we get economies of scale.
Those things are also bad, great point.
I suggest "Contextual examples"
It is likely being poorly received because it is phrased as if it is suggesting a dichotomy that doesn't exist. Product perception and positioning almost always has multiple dimensions, and it certainly does in the case of choosing a computer. There are many differences between Apple computers and other brands, other than the name. I'll leave enumeration of that list to the reader, but you can choose any one of them, and people may make purchasing decisions based on them.
Likewise.

The exposure to the hackers manifesto was inspiring.
I mean, imagine how much worse it would be if Poilievre was the PM ;)
It's a bundle in Ukrainian. You know, like in cartoons when a character walks away sadly with a bundle on a stick. I have a vivid childhood memory of a scene in Tom & Jerry where Tom does this. The idea of backed up files being in a digital bundle on a digital stick amused me enough to name the program like this.
The Curse Of The Gifted (2000)
Well, let's hope that repeatedly injecting people with mRNA over the course of a lifetime doesn't create other problems--I guess if the alternative is death, then there's nothing else one can do anyway
Can you list some of the "general purpose computing" tasks used by "businesses" for which Macs aren't suitable?

I mean, they're certainly not the price leaders, but you seem to be saying that Macs are downright unsuited to things "businesses" do.
> "environment destruction"

Wait wait wait. A single double-tracked rail line that's 50 feet wide carries more passengers an hour than a 10-lane wide highway that's pure asphalt. In what world is the train a greater destruction of our environment?

And in what world is that a greater destroyer of our natural landscapes?

I understand the convenience. I also went from taking public transit exclusively to driving a lot more - and I get the appeal. I also understand the appeal is not scalable, considerably less environmentally friendly, and contributes a ton of carbon output and environment destruction.

We don't need to bend over backwards to pretend that the things that are convenient and enjoyable for us must necessarily be virtuous. We should be fully capable of owning the dissonance that our desires do not necessarily align with public benefit.
What executive orders has Trump signed that are racist or authoritarian?

Please list the EO numbers and explain your rational of how you arrived there using the text in the EO, rather than some highfalutin opinion written by an activist.

I keep hearing this, but nobody can seemingly answer such a simple question. I can only conclude they are blatant liars and propagandists.
> [... WordPress bad ...] Xorg [...] has over 30 plugins on a normal desktop.

This isn't a great argument. Python has "plugins" and just calls them "C extensions". Every time someone uses Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas, or even just "math" - that's a plugin.

Gimp has plugins. Emacs has plugins. VLC has plugins.

> The technical debt of Xorg is almost like if Linux never supported anything but x86 and used emulators for all other hardware.

It's not like that at all.

I can believe that WordPress is a bunch of gross PHP, and I can believe that nobody wants to maintain the C in Xorg, but that's about as far as your analogy holds.

And besides, Wayland is just going to package all that stuff you hate into XWayland. It's not like anyone is cleaning up the interface and removing the notion of plugins.
It's almost like acting completely unethically in the public space has consequences or something
I also worked in AV for a time. It was like uber bro culture personofied and I didn't even work at uber. for some reason AV just draws out the worst kind of assholes. most of my co workers were from cruise and waymo. their arrogance and awfulness towards other humans was terrible.
I don't think "base clock speed" has been a well-defined quantity or officially published specification for a few generations now. It's really just the default/recommended PL1 (long term turbo power limit) value, and what clock speed that corresponds to will depend on the workload.
> If Dropbox sends all data of all users to third parties without telling anyone before the fact, that's another thing

If they've ever signed a BAA (business associate agreement) with any enterprise customers using Dropbox for documents bound by HIPAA, this would get them into a lot of trouble very quickly. The financial penalties are _high and per exposure per employee involved_. They also hit employees doing directly (if you disclose/share HIPAA info then you personally are liable).

So I'm certain that even if they did share documents with undisclosed 3rd parties without notice, it wouldn't be "all". Enterprise data is likely safe. Those contracts get heavy scrutiny before signing.
You say that like there's something wrong with disagreeing with anti semitism. Of COURSE people disagree with his politics. You'd have to be fucked in the head not to. HN isn't Stormfront, you know. His behavior changed and new facts arrived since he used to be popular, so reasonable people changed their minds about him, and unreasonable racists are now his new biggest fans. The reason people hate him is not that he's the richest man in the world, it's that he's a bigot.

I'm stunned that I need to explain that to you. Is it actually news to you? If so, welcome out from under your rock. Or are you just pretending not to know, in order to troll?
> "The bill, which is the brainchild of Senator Julie Miville-Duchêne, is not a government bill. In fact, government ministers voted against it. Instead, the bill is backed by the Conservatives, Bloc and NDP with a smattering of votes from backbench Liberal MPs."

Remember, the opposition and the Senate can get bills through in a minority parliament.
I don't think that's a good way of thinking about it. Just because programmers might have better job security doesn't mean other motivators for not wanting to get fired exist.
I have a few unifi things at home, and for the most part, they've been good, and work well together. But this sort of stuff is very concerning, and forcing the cloud account on everyone is really stupid.

But what are the alternatives. Firewalla seems to be a good alternative, but they don't do APs, leaving me with a mixed system.
Ask HN: Are you using LLM based evaluations?
Is anyone here using LLM-based evaluations heavily? What core problems does it solve for you and how difficult is it to set up? For context, I'm building an AI powered chatbot which works on internal company documents and I'm wondering what to do regarding evaluations.
Most people who buy Apple for their personal use buy it for the status.

Not even remotely HN worthy.
If I can be automatically signed up to allow openai to process (but not train on) my data, I absolutely don't trust that the deal will not be altered the moment any counter-party to the “agreement” (besides me) desires it be altered.
Papers are for resumes and funding. Novelty is something the journal or investor could define and require, if they wanted it.
This needs to be said more, people have always fallen for these false platitudes from bosses, government and so on. Only recently has this "placation culture" really moved to companies and for whatever reason it seems our blind spot for this today is much worse than a decade ago
The model is base yaml with patches applied to it results in final yaml that get sent to the api, so the typical structure for us is to have the base yaml live with the service source, be maintained by the service owners and include all environment-agnostic properties. We then have one folder per targeted environment for that service which includes any patches and the kustomization.yaml manifest. Basically in line with what other replies have mentioned.
Discord tips off FBI to 13-year-old's synagogue mass shooting plot
Explainable AI (XAI) for mental health detection based on language behavior
20 years ago in school our English teacher had us read a science fiction short story about a robbery. I wish I could remember the name of it. The essential idea was that robbery was at some point legalised and nobody really cared because they just claimed on insurance. With more and more of our possessions being basic commodities (cars, electronics, IKEA furniture etc.) and everything of importance being digital, this seems to be coming true now.
> They have a relatively small team when compared to Waymo, at least at the research/state-of-the-art level.

Sure, but in every independent test, Tesla's smart driving capabilities get completely trounced by Subaru EyeSight. Does Subaru also have vastly more PhD researchers than Tesla?
Not to forget https://www.starrocks.io/ or https://risingwave.com/ - see also a recent blog post of a friend: https://juhache.substack.com/p/moving-from-bi-to-data-apps-p...
Yes and no. I think a periodic reminder about the guidelines for everyone that sees them, not just the person I reply to, is useful
This is what I wear for carpentry/wood working. It's almost identical to the mask I wore in the military for CBRN just different filters and far lighter. Suggestion to look for masks that have larger outter and inner seals if you have glasses or low cut facial hair/stubble respectively as they'll continue to seal.
I love this and have been using more RSS myself lately.

The one thing that drives me crazy is that there is still no way to get posts from facebook groups into any sort of rss feed. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? The rss-bridge for FB groups has been broken for years b/c the FB redesign in 2020 made scraping harder.
did you read the article? the law would be broad enough to require privacy-invading age verification systems for search engines
If a guy becomes famous almost exclusively for having a beef with someone else (and this someone else really doesn't need to beat any drum in order to be famous), then something is wrong. Basically these days this is what Schmidhuber is associated to. Which is kind of sad, really.
I love this food so much. It's the one Korean food I truly get an otherwise insatiable craving for on occasion.

Also, while I typically can't stand recipe pre-roll, this felt like something different, something kind of beautiful.
as it does for real people - especially those that are on their phones while they drive.

FSD doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be consistently better than the typical/average driver and cause or get into less accidents than real people do.

That day is coming - it may be TSLA, it might be someone else, but sooner or later you won't even be able to afford the insurance for a car that is powered by a human if FSD provably is safer in agrregate.
Yeah seems like a caching issue where the cache isn't properly segmented by user.
I assumed this is what parental controls are invented for, but all too many parents don't seem to even have the knowledge to activate those in the first place.

Maybe they should learn how they work instead of supporting a thin veil of totalitarianism.
I did falconry once and found it impressive that the captive birds had a mean life expectancy of 22 years while the wild ones had just 9. The reason was starvation. You get injured and can't hunt? You starve. You age a bit and aren't quite fast enough to catch mice anymore? You starve.

Civilization's ability to let us specialize, combined with private property, really allows humans to achieve amazing lives compared to the often romanticized other options.
Intel Launches 5th Gen Xeon Scalable "Emerald Rapids" Server Processors Review
Ah hahahaha!

So you're actually going to start sufficiently funding my Quality Assurance department instead of treating it like a cost center, right? Right?!

I won't hold my breath on that one.
Yes, FTX knows a lot about value creation from thin air.
Interesting that Discord has automatic systems for this. Is it LLM-based?
Kagi search has a feature to summarize a search result without visiting it. Basically reverses SEO bloatednes and reduces content to the main points.
Plus, has a search lens "small internet" favoring sites without ads and trackers.
Thanks for the examples.

I've used SD / Midjourney / Dalle extensively and would say this is honestly shockingly bad besides the two last ones.

Comparable to the first versions of the other services, but with better contextual understanding but still with lots of gnarly artifacts and weirdness going on.
I've briefly touched it in another blog post. It is not just trusting the institutions to not use the data for training. Optimizations you apply to making LLM inference fast might present new security landscape that we don't know much about. For example, if your LLM inference engine stores KV cache across user sessions, you can in theory do a timing attack to retrieve what's in the KV cache, potentially leaking other users' requests.
But it is enforced. Here is a list:

Best part... he keeps pumping it on X... the grift never ends.
So you made an account to leave this needlessly aggressive comment?
What does "Exhaustive search is not supported" mean? (that phrase is from your link, in the bullet-points near the top)
It's important to understand though, that most of this work is not sufficient to sustain society. There's a report from the Centraal Planbureau in the Netherlands 'Immigration and the Dutch Economy' (https://www.cpb.nl/sites/default/files/publicaties/download/...).

Take a look at page 61 and the graph 'age profile of net contributions'. As you see, even the average non-Western immigrant, which of course includes highly productive people from places like Japan, India, etc. has a very bad curve.

A gig worker is almost certainly going to have a curve at least that bad, i.e. he has a negative net contribution to the state economy. It might well be better to try to find people something where they can make a net contribution than to have them try to offset the costs by doing what is in effect random work.
Courts can only address the issues by applying privacy laws long after your data is leaked and your business or privacy is destroyed.

Use clientside encryption. Technical measures, not legal ones.
Hmm.

This concept is something of a breakthrough for me, personally. I have fairly severe ADHD, and it took me about fifteen years in this industry to really find my place in it. My "hill chart" is more of a "valley chart".

In dealing with my own mental abilities, I've found that I've developed a toolset that has resulted in my strengths being in aggressively removing uncertainty and finding the optimal path to implementation - because implementation is the part that I struggle with.

Now I'm wondering if the very effective teams that I've been on have been comprised of people whose "charts" here overlap in a way where someone is always in their "downhill" portion while others encounter the "uphill".
>In the last 8 years SPD has become completely unmotivated to do their job despite never having their budget cut

The budget was absolutely cut.

Well local can mean your laptop. But could mean your local server. However, it can also mean a VM on your cloud provider of choice colocated to the object store.

In such a case the network transfer (for many cases) can be almost irrelevant - at least for up to medium-ish sized datasets.
The Essence of Modern C++
More broadly, non-Electron apps have been uncommon for a while. I just don't work in the webspace and I need to write code that's relatively performant b/c it involves some numbercrunching. I understand it's all possible with Electron.. but it's a bit daunting to have a client-server web stack and multiple languages with some stuff in a local backend.. It's all a bit beyond me

JavaFX was a nice solution that's crossplatform and near-native. It has a very nice react-like library in Clojure called `cljfx`

This sentiment is really playing to the "the guilty have nothing to hide" line of reasoning and that's a scary place to be.
From the article:

"These qualities have for generations been helpful in contending with the Times’s familiar problem, which is liberal bias."

The NYT lost its way when it internalized the right wing's framing of them as having the hated liberal bias. It was always an effort to work the ref, affirmative action for Republican blowhards.

As we've seen in the years since no one is more grievously wounded by that than serious and substantive people on the right, who are now an endangered species not just on the pages of the NYT but in American public life more broadly.
and destroyed ..
That's not a good comparison.

911 is paid by taxes for being 24/7 available. It is also a public service. Ubi is free (at least I don't pay for any of my Unifi consoles, besides the initial cost). It is also a private company, free (as in beer) to do as they like.
Many hours actually. BookTV is great for author interviews, and listening to politician's speeches directly has less spin then watching the CNN or Fox interpretation.
> people at companies like Dropbox will continue to treat customers like human chattel.

The key question is: Who is the actual customer?

That drives everything else. The FAANG's customer isn't the "users", but rather its advertisers, et al. Anyone who will pay for the data their "users" generate.

This is the Faustian bargain we all made when we decided that free stuff from the internet was a good idea. Someone else pays, and they get our data in exchange for that payment. The same data is likely sold as many times as they can do so, of course.
Any for-profit company would. In fact, if they are public, they are legally required to maximize profit without any other consideration.
> Facebook say they aren’t doing this. The risk to their reputation if they are caught in a lie is astronomical.

The author refers to the theory that FB is always listening as “laughable”, but this statement is even more laughable. If FB actually got caught doing this, at most there might be a few articles about it, and maybe a class action lawsuit resulting in a few pennies distributed to individual users, and then things would go right back to business as usual.

The only convincing argument that FB isn’t always listening is that it would be too expensive to be worth it. Arguments about “reputation” risk are beyond absurd. They don’t care.
My decision to not enable remote access feels vindicated now.
It's not absurd. Siri is listening for "hey siri" all the time. Folks don't really grok how that's different than Facebook spying as described. I'm frankly not sure that it's impossible, just that there's enough churn of Facebook employees that it would eventually leak if it was being done.
My measurement for this sort of thing is, "if there's none in my house tonight and I get a hankering, how willing am I to go out looking for it?"
