> ChromeOS is the only Linux-based OS known to have enabled the fix

Once again ChromeOS is showing it cares about security more than seemingly any other end user OS. I think it's really underestimated as a platform.
> Red Book CD audio ripping is an entirely different subject

> difficulty of directly streaming Red Book Audio

Actually, it's what I was alluding to this whole time. Sorry for not saying so out of the gate. Red Book audio was my life for a while. I recall writing cue sheets [0] for CDRWIN by hand! Ripping groups would brag that a given release was created with EAC at no more than 2.4x or something like that...

I believe data CDs (whichever color book that was) had more robust error correction (given that computer files can't just have glitches interpolated like audio can to some extent) which is why if you completely filled a CD with Red Book audio (74/80 minutes), ripped it to an uncompressed format like WAV/AIFF, and tried to put all of it on a data format CD as files, it wouldn't fit; it was a decent amount larger than 640/700MB and not just due to metadata.

The pace that ML seems to be advancing right now is amazing. I don’t believe in the singularity but it’s changing software and then society in ways no one can predict.
Our European allies did a fine job of handicapping their own tech sector. They obviously don't consider it a strategic priority and aren't trying very hard.

The US strategic pivot towards Asia is well underway. Now that we're effectively energy independent there's no longer an existential need to wreak havoc in the Middle East. Instead I expect the UK and France to resume wreaking havoc there as they did prior to Pax Americana. They don't really have another option to maintain critical fossil fuel supplies.
No. Fly Volumes are attached NVME storage; they're anchored to the physical host they're created on.

Under the hood, we can migrate a volume from one physical to another (the way we do this is pretty interesting and we'd write it up, except that to date the process has played an outsized role in the work sample testing we use for all of our technical roles). I don't think we've surfaced that, much, yet, but we will this year.

We back Fly Volumes up to off-network block storage at regular intervals (more announcements coming shortly here too).

But a really basic thing to understand about Fly Volumes is that they're not SAN storage, and they're not intrinsically reliable the way, say, S3 is. They appear in Fly Machines as simple ext4 filesystems, and if you need reliability/durability/replication, you need to provide it at the application layer. That's how Fly Postgres works: clusters of read replicas, all of which can take over and assume write leader role if they need to. This makes sense because with Fly Postgres the only purpose to which the underlying volume is put is running a Postgres database, which already provides durability/replication.

This is, for instance, why we print a big red warning on the console if you ask us to create a single-node Postgres cluster.

I think we're going to roll out stuff in the next couple quarters that will offer new options on the reliability/perf spectrum. But I don't think they'll involve us running SAN drives --- servers that just expose block devices over iSCSI or whatever.
This entire claim of it being anti-semetic in nature rests on the false notion that Israel is "the jews". It's not. Jewish people from all around the world condemn Israels genocidal actions against the people who actually have a valid claim on the land. The fascist puppet that was created by The Empire less than 100 years ago could end all this in a heartbeat if they really wanted to, but that's not their goal. Hamas itself started as a response to the evil stuff Israel was already doing.

This is similar to how it's always the victim who gets in trouble for defending themselves in schools that follow zero-tolerance policies for bullying. The bully gets away scott-free for years, but when the victim finally has had enough and lashes back at them, everyone acts like it's the worst thing in the world and calls the victim a "bully".

Not saying Hamas and its members aren't anti-semetic. But the root cause of all this is not anti-semetism.

It works handily with Google photos where you can break out an itinerary of an old trip. As with most things, it's for nostalgia so if you're not wired that way, it's not really useful to you. I love reminiscing over old trips and having these details.
I dunno what to tell you. Market regulations are not murder.

Incentives that make home ownership more accessible than being a landlord are not class warfare.
The magic words are "I am using my right to remain silent" followed by silence.
Beautiful idea but I think it only applies to big, onshore players who can be sued or bullied.

There are tons of little data brokers buying locations from cell companies and unscrupulous ad networks driving all those apps on your phone collecting locations for no benefit to you; these brokers are behind Delaware shell corps or offshore.

Data is still gold to them.
Honestly, I'm not surprised. Bluetooth is an unsecured microcontroller that does not run an open source firmware (and yes, I'm aware, the CVE is partially enabled by the software stack as well). By definition, that is a security nightmare.

I don't generally use Bluetooth devices in my house. Between the security nightmare aspect and the fact that it's always a worse end user experience than just going wired (no dropped packets, no failure to pair after being paired fine for months, no batteries slowly dying and then becoming spicy pillows; just 100% pure glorious wire).
Or trespassing people who are no longer welcome.

The idea that code of conduct can’t exist is nonsense. The idea that it violates free speech is also nonsense, as it has been well settled that you don’t have free speech on private land.

Corporate HR, based on actual thinking unlike the Twitter author who seems based on ego. The reason for this is there's a lot embedded about what 'A', 'C', 'E' mean, and that's different for different people. Using specific terminology (somewhat) mitigates this.

'Average' is also 'Effective'. If the organisation's hiring most people at the right level, that's the way it should be, right?

[An organisational pat on the back that its employees are effective. And then whole business lines get cut, because they're not effective. But the employees are, correct? Blinkered into effectively obeying. That's different from the OP.]

Consistently getting 'exceptional' or 'outstanding' is a problem for your manager because it means they've hired you at the wrong level. Whether this is a problem for you depends on your manager.

It's not all in a name, it's how you think about it. That the author of the post deflates 'Effective' to 'C', which means overall able but lacking in in some areas, identifies something's off. Enough to make me run a mile from any association with this company.

Further, something wrong with the employee conversation. Given a job specification and reasonable leadership communication, having someone surprised means they've been working with the wrong goals, and that's leadership's problem. It happens, I've been there, and then you reverse it, however Tweeting it as a bragging point is lost on me as leadership communication.

I haven’t looked at AdGuard. I was happily using uBlock Origin until Apple switched to only allowing downloaded block lists instead of a real programmatic ad block. At that point, ABP seemed the most reasonable choice as there’s no longer much differentiation.
I worked for a startup that sold to IBM. My impression is that IBM has been in the business of responding to market needs by attempting to build the best possible technical solution that also drives customers to stay in the IBM sphere.

However, what IBM forgot is that the market is big, and the market drives towards commoditization wherever it can. Any technical advancement that makes technology faster/cheaper is where the market will go -- even if it means compromising in other areas like up-time. IBM is, naturally, allergic to becoming a commodity and tries to drive to higher margin business. e.g. Mainframes, consultant heavy engagements, AI, etc.

But the revolution that happened since the PC revolution, that commodity hardware and open source software (free in beer and freedom) could power companies both the size of IBM and in the same competitive space seems to be a lesson IBM has perpetually never quite gotten into their DNA. There's no "fixing" IBM. It will linger on momentum for a while until somebody else eventually just buys it for whatever IP they can squeeze out of it, dismembers the corpse, and spins out single purpose core businesses all in one excrement pile. It might take another decade or so, but it's coming.
Not sure what the letter grade means in this context. “C’s get degrees.” So… “C level work”(sic) should mean the employee is fine, will remain, is performing adequately or is on average well average.

If it means the person is at risk of being let go that’s an intense work environment and they should just modify the job description to mention that one should be “innovating within the framework” or whatever management bs he was pushing.
I agree, but I think the headline is misleading. The data can still be backed up in the cloud. However, it will be end-to-end encrypted. It seems to me like the real issue is the inability of web apps to process end-to-end encrypted data. Are there any web standards efforts to solve this?
Oh wow, yikes.

HN rules suggest "assuming good intent." I tried my best with your comment but saw absolutely none, so figured I'd double check to see if i was missing something. Guess not.
As in literally “uttering” something on the lines of “as per the 5th amendment..blah. silence.. blah..”?

And or course on a recorded interview/questioning, right? Because if there was no recording then it’s my word against police’s, right?

(I am not from US).
I agree with you about this but have an even darker take in that I see the exact same lack of vision in every single large tech company out there today. I mean, IBM does actually sell hardware and software ...that's a lot more than you can say about some of the other big names out there.

I have a theory that the death of the traditional computer company and it's buisness model, in the sense a company like an Oxide or IBM or Sun would understand the term "computer company", as well as the transition to the cloud for all new infrastructure, fundamentally changed the landscape in tech in a very negative way culturally speaking.

The hyperspecialization of the industry and consolidation of hardware into a single dominant platform for most serious buisness computing needs, obviated the need for traditional engineering cultures. It's hardly any wonder that this same transition also was a transition towards Agile development methods (or rather a cheap imitation of them, if it was ever even intended to be some paradigm shift at all).

The industry and the vibes I got were radically different and better even during ostensibly difficult times like right after dotcom.

Bricks Can Absorb Traffic Noise – Thesis on Helmholtz Resonators
I think you misunderstood OPs anecdote and took it a little personally?

They were simply saying that much as you can love one platform there are many valid reasons why your deployment on another makes it hard to shift that and recapture that configuration. Nowhere did they intimate it was a fault of the current platforms capabilities...
The original question was “why would they use an LLM here”. Whether candidates are an entire program or just a portion of the program is immaterial to that question. In fact, it is an example of a situation where random decoding is especially poorly matched against an autoregressive model, since there’s already context to use.

Anyways, you can see there is a cold start issue in the ablation study since the random strategy didn’t even begin to register until about halfway through the test.
> fully programmable Tensor Processor Cores

Some of those statements are inaccurate. Being an infra/HPC dev, I have yet to see anyone programming custom kernels for Intel Gaudi. Even if they exist, Tensor Cores on either platform are far from "fully programmable". Even on CUDA:

- It's only for tiled matrix multiplication...
- Of dense matrices (structured sparsity doesn't count)...
- Using only addition and multiplication,
- For very few numeric types.

Meaning that there are almost no applications outside of reimplementing BLAS.
I’m sort of assuming the Magic Keyboard has to be present, but we don’t know that based on the write up. It’s a great question though. All desktop Macs come pre-paired with a Magic Keyboard even if you never use it. so if the keyboard doesn’t have to be actively connected at the time that would make them all vulnerable unless someone had unpaired them.

The other thing that wasn’t clear to me is if the vulnerability exists if a Magic Keyboard isn’t in the mix. If I have never paired one to my laptop and instead I am use a different brand of Bluetooth keyboard is it still a problem?

In other words is this Magic Keyboard specific? I’m assuming the author had other Bluetooth keyboards. Of course even if it is that doesn’t mean there aren’t other vulnerabilities lurking in iOS/macOS in this area.
Agreed.

> lying while reporting a crime

Seems to me like there ought to be some kind of 14th Amendment “equal protection” cases presented to the court about the failure of police forces to dismiss false police reports.

If I filed a police report saying “X threatened me on my property” and it wasn’t true, I’d be prosecuted for a false report. Yet there are hundreds of instances of state and federal employees filing the same kind of false reports, yet nothing is done about it.
For some reason Bluetooth has to be enabled for Android Auto to work, even though it's wired, so I leave it enabled. But there should be a way to just disable keyboards categorically, for phones.
May be you should ask Romania, Poland, Sweden or Finland how they feel about having NATO’s protection/presence against Russia’s aggression. “Team America World Police” as you mocked.
Webp is encoded using limited ycbcr values as opposed to jpeg which uses full range ycbcr values. When converting jpeg to webp, there will be banding. Grayscale limited ycbcr when converted to full rgb during display ill also have banding.

Webp really doesnt have a banding issue unless you convert jpeg or display purely grayscale content.
yes, agreed.... but we're talking about being owed an explanation - i think you missed that part of this thread.

As an ex-landlord my instinctive reaction is the same as yours - it would take a lot of increase to cover months of standing empty.

On the other hand I'm not in New York and I've no idea what regulations are in play there, so I'm happy to accept the statement at face value.

I'd also suggest that Airbnb has a role to play - sometimes short term rents can deliver more return than long term. Holding back stock for this can be significant (it is in Barcelona).

Now if the city invited residents to rat out their landlord for this reason, that might have less sympathy than framing it as "public health of other residents". This ostensibly puts the focus on "my health", and if some unpermitted short-term rentals get caught up by accident, well, happy days.

Personally I've nothing against Airbnb - provided that it's done within what local bylaws require. "Illegal hotels" though are not really in anyone's interest.

Of course all regulations reglate someone. Whether you like regulations or not depends on whether you are being regulated for or against. The sweetspot is a balance , which I agree can be hard to find.
It's likely a troll account. Check the history
There are many landlords leaving units empty precisely because they’re sane and rational. In some cases becauee of a lack of regulation whereas in others because of over regulation.

I personally know a landlord who will almost never rent out the commercial space in their property. Right now not renting it out saves then tax due to the “loss” they declare. But the price at which they’d have to rent the commercial unit to exceed that tax benefit would be high enough to cause a reappraisal of the entire building which would increase the property tax for all the residential units they pay as well, which would mean they’re losing money, or at least making less money, on each unit until they can increase the rent to level which may not be sustained by the market.

Another well known non government reason to leave units vacant is if the market value has dropped, leading it out at the lower market value can trigger all sorts of problems for the property owner with the banks who have lent money to them for the property, including the ability for them to recall the money early, change rates, etc since it may trigger clauses regd the appraised value dropping below a certain threshold. These are purely private contracts that provide a very strong incentive for landlords to keep spaces empty rather than lease them out at market value. This tends to be the most common reason for us city storefronts being empty.
Laser Crystallization of Silicon Thin Films for 3D Integrated Circuits (2012)
JXL has Guetzli lossless JPEG compressor integrated into the standard so it produces reversible and completely standard compliant JXL images that are 15-20% smaller size.
Reversible in sense that you can still convert the image back the original JPEG, that is bit exact file as the input JPEG was (it takes care of all the metadata also - it has to).

Also if you decide to forgo the reversibility you can get a bit more out of it as JXL is actually a superset of JPEG, so it can read the JPEG stream and convert it to JXL without complete recompression - it will just use more efficient structure of JXL and much more efficient (ANS vs. Huffman) entropy encoding. The additional savings compared to the reversible mode aren't big however.

> Exactly. When you look back 2000 years to Greek and Roman societies they shied away from any nude depictions of the human form. Nudity as we see it in society nowadays has only been around since the invention of Playboy in the 1950s

Right. When I stated that puritan morality existed 2000 years ago, that totally means that there were no displays of nudity at all back then. Everything has to be 100% one way or the other after all. The idea that different kinds of morality could exist among different groups of people, even across individuals, in the world in the same time period is just absurd isn't it?
