I dunno man, I've seen some uncensored LLMs come up with some pretty wild shit. This timeline is about to get a lot weirder.
The approach here is interesting and well-documented! However, this line gives me pause—

> Modern customers expect 100% availability.

This is not my preference as a customer, nor has it been my experience as a vendor. For many workloads consistency is much more important than availability. I’m often relieved when I see a vendor announce a downtime window because it suggests they’re being sensible with my data.
Oh cool! I know there were unofficial ones floating around.
if you want to just have a serious look at htmx, I recommend the book, which is free online:

I'm not sure how exactly ChatGPT uses its own responses in the context, but I've found that it can ignore the instructions you've made it repeat over and over, even though it just did it successfully in the last response. I've had better results making it produce something to paste in my next prompt.

Relatedly, when editing past prompts, I've found that it sometimes reuses things that were in the original branch of the conversation, even though they're not in the logical flow of the current conversation.
I used OTP Auth.app (https://cooperrs.de/otpauth.html) for many a while years on iOS and then on macOS too.

Now I've mostly transitioned to using the built in OTP handling in Keychain. Every so often I find one I haven't migrated across yet.

Another option is HE's NetWork Tools iOS app, which also has an OTP Authenticator in it. I believe it's a lot less integrated though (I don't think it provides a browser plugin, for example).
Models at this size are regularly quantized to 5/4bit to reduce the size. While there is some degradation, it isn’t as substantial as you would expect.

No, Israel will be forced to an actual peace settlement because those iron dome interceptors don't come cheap. It's only a matter of time before they run out, Hamas rockets actually start hitting Israel, and Israel actually legitimately comes to the negotiating table instead of trying to undermine and bomb its way to its objectives. Golan Heights will probably be returned to Syria, Lebanon will see some returned land, and we might see the 1967 borders in real life instead of just the history books.

The IRA is a good example of how to deal with terrorism. You don't compromise. You don't have Northern Ireland back to the Irish and bow to terrorism. Instead you strike hard and eventually they'll make peace.
That seems natural, and I totally sympathize with the browser. Browsers are just barely able to handle 3D. Going past that is surely wrecking their minds in the same way it does yours (at least mine).

One more I'll toss in, is The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts which feels like you're missing a lot of the story (but it is because that's one book of a series) and... well... spoilers.
I can't speak for HN, but I'm of the view that some reasonable degree of regulation is necessary for a properly functioning market. Imagine if everyone engaged in drip pricing [1]. It'd be less of a market that competed on pricing and quality of product/service, and more of a market of who can trick the buyer most effectively.

This is exactly why the whole thing is so suspicious

They have cameras everywhere, including automated guns, a 100m buffer zone, and they didn’t see what was going on?

They didn’t see the breach, the hundreds of Hamas fighters crossing over? And they didn’t react for hours? And Netanyahu says they will only answer about Israel’s intelligence failure “after the war”?
Sorry, it was an oversimplification, but the article here is pretty decent. The major takeaway is that conditions were not right and the whole election cycle was a bit ham fisted. Your break down is appreciated as it's got a lot of moving parts!

Agreed, oftentimes the truly zealous AI pundits act as if our modern day LLMs are completely, 100% equivalent to humans, which I find utterly insane as a concep. For example any discussion about copyrighted works, which is a hot topic, will inevitably end up with someone equating an LLM "learning" to a human learning, as if the two are identical.

I think human languages and psyches just aren't built to cope with the concept of AI. Many words have loose meanings, like "learning" in the case of AIs, that can easily be twisted to mean one of dozens of definitions, depending on the stance of the person talking about it. It'll be interesting as the technology becomes more prevalent and mundane how people start treating it all. I'm hoping we get to realizing that a computer isn't a human regardless of the eloquence of its "speech" or whatever words we use to describe what it does, but I guess we'll see

Thank you. These web apps work better (or only) with "Hardware acceleration" on. It should make use of the GPU. If it still persists I'd recommend the native binaries, they are always going to be faster.
One should read (again?) Hannah Arendt and the mechanics of dehumanisation and propaganda in genocides.

Beyond the dehumanisation of the victims by the perpetrators, one should not dehumanise the latter in response. There were no monsters.

She was recalling that, it was ordinary men killing ordinary men, and ordinary men being killed by ordinary men.

And one of these ordinary men could have been your neighbour, or yourself.
OP Here - that's great feedback! Our hope is to build confidence in both the reliability of our product _and_ the consistency of the workloads. Of course, presenting the illusion of consistency while being flaky is far worse than managing customer expectations and taking intentional downtime to, in the long run, have better uptime.

Indeed, having periodic maintenance windows expected up-front probably leads to more robust architectures overall: customers building in the failsafes they need to tolerate downtime leads to more resilience. Teams that can trust their customers in that way can, in turn, take the time they need to make the investments they need to build a better product.

Perhaps this will be the blog post we write after our next major version upgrade: expectation setting around downtime _is_ the way to very high uptime.
Before Netanyahu there were at least four prime ministers - Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin - who've made honest attempts at peace. Not to mention Ariel Sharon who has, despite being a hard right-winger, lead the disengagement from Gaza (at a tremendous political cost). You seem to be placing the responsibility for these failures entirely on one side.
> why do I need to type that?

You don't, but the comment you're replying to is replying to:

Agreed. Even "AI" is a bit loaded; we had half a century of Terminator, Asimov, 2001, etc. We should call them by implementation; neural networks, transformers, language models, etc. The plus side is that it's harder to generalize statements about all three---there is very little to generalize in the first place---and that asking "is a transformer conscious" at least sounds more ridiculous than asking "is AI conscious."
Even without lying, even if this article had been published by the Guardian or Atlantic this wouldn't be a quality article. It's a one sided witness statement with no information on wether Al Jazeera reached out to the IDF to obtain some sort of aknowledgement (which you'd do if you're confident in your story, just so you can say "IDF denied to comment").

I have compassion and sympathy for all victims of this war, including the kids interviewed in the article, but as of right now, the information presented is dubious at best.
Except the combo of general Egyptian/IDF defense coordination brokered by the US combined with the explicit calls for ethnic cleansing by high level Israeli government officials very well could be interpreted as explicitly assisting in ethnic cleansing.

Ask HN: Forced to install Microsoft 365 2FA auth on my device. Alternatives?
I've been using Aegis authenticator at work to do 2fa for many years.

A switch got flipped, and now apparently nothing but Microsoft Authenticator will work for 2FA on Microsoft 365.

I asked my admin what that's about, and apparently for months there have been bright red banners about "Microsoft 365 install 2FA insecure" or something like that.

My workplace doesn't provide mobile devices for employees, so it seems that as soon as my last Microsoft session runs out...

I'm faced with 2 choices:

- Not be able to sign into Microsoft Teams which just so happens to be required to do my job

- install Microsoft Authenticator on my personal device

Has anyone else faced this? Are there any workarounds?

Thanks!
> consumer protection laws we do have, and the bodies to enforce them, are relatively weak

IANL - however, in the US and in US States, many serious cases have been decided in favor of the consumer, over decades. It is the most recent waves of privacy versus ad revenue that are indeed, very weak. It is awkward to defend these regulators since their failures are sometimes glaring, however it is my impression that serious settlements against industry can have silence or "gag orders" attached, and they often do. The industry lawyers can argue that the news of the settlement alone constitutes additional commercial damage to the company, and of course they are right in a narrow sense.
Just to be clear -- I'm not alleging that the quotes in the article are falsified or manipulated, as I have no evidence of that either.

I think my most salient argument is that this selection of article is not conducive to a constructive discussion, because some (many?) Jews have a reflexive distrust of Al Jazeera. Don't take that to minimize the substance of the article.
There was evidence that some folks knew of this attack and traded against it too. The official sources for the 9/11 stuff claim that the evidence for it there was circumstantial, but I still don’t believe it.

With 9/11 the 28 pages shows that the Saudis are almost certainly the ones responsible for the attack but due to oil we simply ignore it and sweep it under the rug.

The US is institutionally unable to bring those responsible for terrorism to justice.
> And it's not a blockade as one side borders Egypt.

The fact that Israel has an agreement with Egypt governing that border crossing and preventing imports other than as approved by Israel undermines the "its not a blockade because one border touches Egypt" argument.

Their wiki page describes them as neo-Nazis in the lead sentence. You have completely lost it.

No, neo-Nazis, nor people "merely" linking to neo-Nazis, nor people "just asking questions," none of them are covered by the same social contract that makes doxxing students wrong. When people decide to break the social contract by choosing Naziism, they are no longer covered.

> Except the combo of general Egyptian/IDF defense coordination brokered by the US combined with the explicit calls for ethnic cleansing by high level Israeli government officials very well could be interpreted as explicitly assisting in ethnic cleansing.

Sure, but then it would be following the agreement with Israel restricting imports that would be assisting with the ethnic cleansing more than allowing refugees out.

Yes, Hamas not wearing uniform or insignia, a crass war crime, is indeed premeditated. It is the utmost responsibility of every party to a war to clearly distinguish themselves from civilians.

Great training set to check the results of other factors, then use those to infer.

A thorough, and thoroughly depressing, analysis of Netanyahu and his thinking:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/21/the-netanyahu-...

Of particular note, and to your point:

> Netanyahu is not a conventional ideologue. His opposition to a two-state solution does not derive from any messianic conviction or biblical inspiration. While many of his supporters are religious traditionalists, he is staunchly secular and doesn’t even keep kosher. Instead, his worldview is shaped by deep pessimism. “I’m asked if we will for ever live by the sword – yes,” he told a group of Knesset members in 2015. He had absorbed this view as a child. His father, Benzion Netanyahu, was a dyspeptic historian of the Spanish Inquisition who died in 2012, at the age of 102. “Jewish history is in large measure a history of holocausts,” Netanyahu Sr once told the New Yorker’s David Remnick. For Netanyahu the son, that catastrophic vision of history has meant that nearly all matters of defence appear refracted through the lens of existential threat. According to such calculus, any Palestinian state would almost certainly devolve into an Islamist terror state threatening Israel’s existence; therefore indefinite Israeli control over the occupied territories is an absolute necessity for Jewish survival.
Qualcomm owns patents on an international standard.

They sued Apple and arguably won, although they settled out of court.

Apple had bought Intel's LTE unit and the patents that came with it, and Qualcomm and Intel both licensed patents into a common pool (and as such, any member of that pool did not owe any other member royalties); Apple inherited Intel's position in the pool and continued licensing patents to the pool with no change. Apple stopped paying Qualcomm the LTE blood money.

_Qualcomm still sued and made money_.

If Apple can't secure a win against Qualcomm, how the hell can Google?

Also, Qualcomm will _never_ license patents (under FRAND or otherwise) to competing vendors; the only way to be allowed to make LTE modems for the west is to be part of that pool.

Oh, and btw? Apple was making their (Intel-based) modem in-house for like two generations while that whole thing happened. They're back to buying Qualcomm modems again.
At that time there was nothing hypothetical about them anymore. They were known to be feasible and practical, not even requiring a test for the Uranium version.

> The only problem with Allwinner and Rockchip is they are both Chinese companies that may be tampered with by the Chinese government.

I do not believe this is a likely problem. And even if it was, "not for me": I already have a few eink android Chinese devices so I'd be toast anyway, so it shouldn't influence my decision.

> Qualcomm and Mediatek just have a record, today, of security flaw after security flaw.

I see that and I find it concerning, so I'd rather take my chances with something I can explore, see the flaws and limit them, than something that doesn't let me do that.

BTW I love how they are more flexible that US devices, letting me root and change their mtd content! Check the boox and bigme devices if you are interested in linux on baremetal color eink, yet with full control.

"IANAL but that's not true? You can take Apache2 and relicense it under AGPL? You can take "less copyleft" license and make it "more copyleft"."

No you can't. That's also not really what is happening here in the link you list.

This gets complicated very quick (and 90% of HN comments in this thread are already sort of wrong), but the short version is:

When you aggregate existing works into a larger work, you can license the larger work in any way that is compatible with the existing works.

Apache2 is compatible in that sense - i can include an apache work in a larger aggregate work licensed a different way.

However, that does not relicense the original works that you are aggegating. For the Apache2 portion of that work - even when part of a larger work, I can still exercise whatever rights Apache2 gives me for the Apache2 version of that work.

The aggregate work itself would also have very little copyright protection, even if you AGPLv3 it.

The only copyright you newly get in the aggregate work is selection, arrangement, etc.

Which means the degree to which you are licensing anything at all is ... quite small.

The easy way to think about it is: even if you release a larger AGPLv3 work containining Apache2 pieces, you could not sue people for taking the Apache2 piece of it, and using it under Apache2.
Even if they explicitly use your copy of it, etc.

More than that, people could take all of your aggregate work pieces and use them under their licenses, and you could not stop them.

This already happens - RHEL et al.

Wow, that’s a cumulative 47,990 years.
Yeah its been nice to leverage this while working on some of our larger multi TB non-partitioned clusters. We have seen snapshots restore in under 10 minutes across AWS Accounts (same region) as long as you already have one snapshot shipped with the same KMS keys. We have been upgrading DBs to lift out of RDS into Aurora Serverless.

If anyone here knows how to get LSN numbers after an upgrade/cluster replacement. I would love to hear about it since its always painful to get Debezium reconnected when a cluster dies.
