Most of this can be done with Ansible. So why should I download images from a 3rd party outside of the Fedora project?

If you really want to harden an OS with a good SElinux implementation you should try enabling user roles.

Last time I tried that was maybe Fedora 20 something and it broke a lot.
For what it's worth, Android no longer supports full-device encryption, it encrypts filesystem subtrees. For a single-user phone, there's not much of a difference; your "user files" key is obtained from the hardware secret store when you type your PIN.

I understand the neatness of fly.io's distributed VMs. Can someone explain how Fly Postgres is different than a traditional managed Postgres on something like Heroku.

if fp32, 4 bytes per param. but the weights may have been quantized to lower precision (eg fp16, so 2B/p)
I like the form factor of some of the Govee string lights. I’ve thrown out their controller and hooked them to ESP32’s with WLED. Best of both worlds that way.
I keep imagining an elevated 5xx response is a 599 when it should be a 503 or a 504.
Especially the OPT models they study here were known to be undertrained. It would be interesting to compare to a more modern model like llama 2.
Did it actually go unnoticed? Obsessing over your favorite shows and talking about them online happened in the 90s too.
>I disagree. I've been a linux user for 20 years now and for the first 18 I never fixed a package. I've been a NixOS user for 2 years and suddenly I'm a participant.

That's the problem. Most people and developers don't want to be a "participant". They need something that gets the job done. Your disagreement represents a niche and if the devs cater to your disagreement then they cater to a small niche.

The best design caters to both the average more casual user and the more advanced user. Many developers want a computer that just works so they can concentrate on development, that's why most developers own macs even though linux is the most hacker friendly OS. NixOS especially forces users to "participate" in in-depth OS configuration which is not desired by the majority.

People in the linux world need to be empathetic with the more common user otherwise their part of the world will remain niche and closed source operating systems like windows will be leaps and bounds ahead of linux in terms of usability and user friendliness.

Linux has made lots of strides in the last decade, but for user friendliness? It has ALSO made big strides here. But not NixOS. NixOS is a step backwards for the average user and a step forward for someone like you or me who's willing to learn a completely new programming language to use an operating system.

I'm a functional programmer so ML style languages like Nix are trivial to me and easy to learn and easy to understand. But this ability doesn't make me blind and lose empathy for the average user and even the average developer who doesn't like haskell or ML.

More OSS people need to understand this. My comment here wasn't about what I wanted. When I used NixOS everything was just fine. I had no problems with it from the standpoint you describe as a personal OS. But I was still able to identifiy the problem with NixOS as a consumer product or even as a product used at a company for development. This isn't a trivial problem. It's a major impediment that hinders adoption.
It seems to me like a lot of what LLMs and Image-generators do is find the interpolation two points in concept-space. So that's not vector-addition but vector-averaging. It's still arithmetic.
So as we discover that the goods for life are literally everywhere what's the rub? Intelligence is the big jump? Life is everywhere but hiding for some reason?
You can just read the ROM on ESP32 (or download it, it is somewhere on the website in the SDK)

As a beacon of engineering
Have you done any time in industry?

If not, can you really understand they work and how you fit in? Consulting is less than half technical, it's more business and sales then technical details and solutions. Your proposal has to work with their current ways.

One way is to get into industry, make contacts, build a network, become someone they come to with questions on this stuff. Then you can go independent.

Another way is to go do some time at a large consultancy.
I particularly hate their initial request because it's so asymmetric in the amount of effort.

In my experience (from maybe a dozen disclosures), when they don't feel like taking action on your report, they just write a one-sentence response asking for more details. Now you have a choice:

A: Clarify the whole thing again with even more detail and different wording because apparently the words you used last time are not understood by the reader.

B: Not to waste your time, but that leaves innocent users vulnerable...

My experience with option A is that it now gets closed for being out of scope, or perhaps they ask for something silly. (One example of the latter case: the party I was disclosing to requested a demonstration, but the attack was that their closed-source servers could break the end-to-end encrypted chat session... I wasn't going to try hacking their server, and reverse engineering the protocol to create a whole new chat server based on that and then recompiling the client with my new server configured, just to record a video of the attack in action, was a bit beyond my level of caring, especially since the issue is exceedingly basic. They're vulnerable to this day.)

TL;DR: When maintainers intend to fix real issues without needing media attention as motivation, and assuming the report wasn't truly vague to begin with, "asking for more details" doesn't happen a lot.
Very nice. I've never really liked Supabase's network restrictions setup (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/network-restrictio...), and IIRC when I looked at it there was some weird issue exposing the Fly IP for your app to Supabase, and locking Supabase down to it. Having Supabase actually within the Fly network is great. Congrats to both teams.
It has a prettier cover, too.

I think it might be a literacy that can be honed. A 100 years ago a curriculum was devised to develop commercial art skills.
Part of the curriculum I went through required 6 hours of life drawing a week for 2 semesters. The likely result is a strong visualization skill that can be expressed on paper

The overall goal was to really see the way the world is perceived.
Ironically, it's regulation that made them like this. Obama-era emissions rules stipulated that trucks had to get a certain fuel economy, unless they were heavy duty trucks, which did not have the same requirements. The option was to either make all trucks less capable to meet requirements, or to start selling almost every truck as a heavy duty truck. Nobody would want to buy a truck that cost just as much or more while delivering less, so everybody got jacked up mega trucks instead.
Pythagoras strikes again.
Sounds like getting a "real investor" is not something a good ceo would want. I'd prefer a fake one.
Is fedora the best OS to be using as a baseline for security?
We wrote a blog post about this:

https://fly.io/blog/how-we-built-fly-postgres/
What about storing the data and thus, the indexes in Kafka. Would it make sense? Let's say currently, I'm storing SirixDB resources in files. However, instead of offsets into a file the index pages could be stored in Kafka optionally (or Pulsar...). Is Kafka too slow for this or only for specific row-tuples? We could make a combined storage caching the pages locally or also storing in the file system and asynchronous storing in Kafk, S3 or whatever.
Could police ever compel me to provide the passcode or even an unlocked device if I have a dissociative disorder that can't even guarantee my own knowledge of the passcode? It's entirely possible for me to lose access to it without being able to help myself and it'd be a real shame if they thought I was lying then. Fun thought experiment, though.
This seems fair. It sounds like they were essentially giving part of their hosted service away for free to self-hosted users.
>How is it bad to have job security and collective bargaining rights?

Unions provide job security for low performers, but do not protect against layoffs. You can check and see that plenty of people were laid off by the large tech companies all across the world, many of which who were in strong unions.

>All great advancements in worker rights were done by some kind of collective organized pressure from workers vs employers.

I can think of plenty of things that weren't because of unions. Stock options and RSUs have literally changed millions of engineers lives for the better, that was done because of the free market, not unions.

>You are just a disposable cog in the machine for them

And yet FAANG companies have had very generous severance packages, despite not having unions.

>yet you are trying to disband the only group of people that are incentivised to help you

No, they're only incentivized to help me when I am helping them. If I decide not to be in the union, that same group are going to work against me to get me fired or make me literally unhirable (by not being in the union).

That's what you're not understanding, there is a cost. The cost is that the union decides who is in the union, and tries to LIMIT your ability to get work if you don't go along with what they want!

That's why I'm going to do my best to ruin their chances of forming.
Indeed, humans seem to have produced a good amount of data for this task :^)
Does the LLM actually perform additional actions based on the ingested text on the initial webpage? How does that malicious text result into a so called prompt injection? Some kind of trigger or what?
A numeric code may be easier to shoulder surf. Nothing prevents you from changing a numeric code or ensures you will change an alphanumeric code however.
I think the OP and most of the commenters here are missing the point. Meta threat is not about killing AP or Mastodon. It's about mining your data and spying on you.
That AP is an open standard doesn't change anything. It's exactly like SMTP and gmail. Sure, gmail did not kill the emails, they are still here, it's still decentralized. But eh, when you're sending an email with vacations pictures to your friend, it's enough that a single one of them is using gmail for Google to have everything. The content, the addresses, build a social graph of everyone, and mine, mine, mine the data to spread more ads or share it with the governments or...
Threads is the exact same threat. If only one of my friend is using it, everything that I write will be received and processed by Meta. And I don't want that.
Until now, I was able to tell to my non tech friends, come on my mastodon server, and I knew we would have privacy. Now I will have to explain to everyone that if they don't want their data to be analyzed, they should not add a contact from Thread. The fediverse was a safe space. Now we have to constantly be on guard again, and this exhausting.
Ah, that might explain why I was seeing http 520 errors from various sites. It was the first time in a long time that I needed to lookup a http response code, only to find it's an unofficial one.
It’s Postgres running on AWS, so it should scale as well as one would expect with that combination. What issues are you referring to specifically?
Worked at IBM for some time recently and I agree with many people here about the amazing technical talent there. Really bright people with deep understanding about their fields. I also worked with some very good project managers there, that can move very complex projects ahead like a maestro.

IBM problem today is:

1) The bureaucracy and general organizational sluggishness created by years and years of policy over policy to avoid 1%, 2% risks that in the end impact 100% of the company.

2) the leadership, which mostly come from the commercial part of the firm and are "number cookers", who now how to play the forementioned bureaucracy and controls, moving around air to look like their are beating their targets.

This makes the company extremely slow, unwilling to take risks, letting Google and Microsoft pass them repeatedly. Personal Computers, the Internet, Cloud Computing and now AI. IBM was at the right place on all of those opportunities, but its internal problems made it unable to take the right action to fetch them.
Very excited for this. Aside from general reliability concerns (esp. around deploys - not helped by cryptic failure messages). Lack of managed Postgres has been the main thing keeping me off fly (I use it for a couple of side projects, but nothing big yet). And blob storage would probably be next on my list (basically stateful things are the things I want managed) so also excited to see that's being worked on.

Do you have any details on pricing (for this new postgres offering) yet?
Some of these are really nice:

- Tired of having to use "random forest"? Why not "irregular woods" to confuse every single one of your colleagues. "Random woodland" also sometimes comes up apparently.

- When writing a neural network, some layers are usually hidden. But why not mix it up and use "concealed layer" instead?

- Artificial Intelligenge an overused term? Why not "man-made intelligence"?

- Denial of Service attacks are so 2022. The modern thing is "disavowal of administration assaults".

- Tired of using Fast Fourier Transforms? Want to be seen as doing Quantum Fourier Transforms? Why not rename the former to "Quick Fourier Transform" to easily get the abbreviation you want!

- My personal favorite: switching out "big data" for "huge information".
It'd be simpler to have a separate Under Duress password that behaves differently. Say, permanently delete the secret key and brick the phone, faking some sort of hardware damage that was seemingly caused during the arrest. Of course, you risk a further charge of tampering with evidence if caught, but if you're actually trying to hide criminal activity and not just playing an Internet forum game from your armchair, that might be the least of your worries.
This construct in the article is kind of fascinating:

I always used crates, which are like buffers. This might not be as fast to load the train, but works more like unbuffered "streaming copper", which seems more just-in-time.
I think we're talking at cross purposes. I don't want to learn more acronyms. I want people to use less of them. (or rather use them more selectively). I'm trying to improve people's writing rather than improve my reading comprehension.
While I don’t think lack of nudity can “hold a society back”, somewhere around 99% of the male population in the United States is addicted to porn (which is a type of nudity). Clearly there is no lack of nudity.
I can't read the whole article but from the first couple of paragraphs it sounds like ByteDance are using ChatGPT output to improve their own models. So the verge is upset that ByteDance are scraping a resource available on the internet to improve their models... the same thing OpenAI did to get their own training data? They call out that they're breaking the ToS but if OpenAI or Microsoft didn't ban their account yet then so what? Are the verge the ToS police now? Seems like a nothing story.

Wow never heard of this. The announcement of a free self-hosted manageable postgres option is pretty cool. But even cooler is finding out a team is working on a better version of OpenStack that's not a nightmare to deploy.
Removal of Offensive Image from Thorium Browser
That's kind of stingy IMO. The push notification service can't be too expensive to run. Plus, notifications are a big part of messaging services.

Yes, the client is open source, but the user would need to submit their own version of the client apps to Google/iOS, while embedding their FCM API info into the app, in order to access push notifications again.
Not sure what you did with it, but I found that some of this SmartTrash does a hard reset when you do some magic sequence such as quickly turning if off/on 5 times in a row.
The funny/not-at-all-funny part is that excess deaths likely underestimates as lockdowns reduce all cause mortality in a lot of other areas. But arguing with these anti-science folks is about as useful as slamming my head into the wall, so I'm out.
Is Thorium Browser Dead?
If I'm understanding correctly, Fly Postgres isn't too different from something like Postgres on Heroku? It's a single instance/cluster in a single location.
Generally the people that care about tail calls write code that relies on them. It isn't just an optimisation. The code is broken (will cause a stack overflow) if TCO isn't applied. So you need to guarantee it.
They will be if one of the fediblock proponents decides to report you. This is not an automated process at this time. It's decided by a cabal on a private Discord, really.

When I would use an Immutable Linux I would not be able to run Virtualbox right? Because that needs kernel modules loaded and changes to the core system that is immutable or do I get this wrong?
That'd be a tough argument. Intel and AMD aren't responding to CUDA by pumping resources into OpenCL, they're building completely new libraries. That suggests NVidia was frustrated by its partners in the OpenCL design process and just built their own system that worked.
Most of this can be done with Ansible.

All of this can be done in several ways. Ansible, manually, a script, etc. Building it into an image just makes it more convenient.

So why should I download images from a 3rd party outside of the Fedora project?

All of the CICD is completely open and transparent. You can read through the github actions logs and build config to verify everything for yourself if you want.

If you really want to harden an OS with a good SElinux implementation you should try enabling user roles.

Agreed, that would be a massive improvement. There's a SIG upstream working on it.
The pricing being the same for Zulip Cloud and just the notification service, this seems a bit unfair.
In large parts of the US, suburban distances and very bad biking weather make e-bikes cover relatively few use cases: When a shopping trip is a 15 minute car drive, and a typical commute to work is 40 minutes, the e-bike doesn't win at all. Perfect lanes don't cut bad distances, 100F summers or -10F winters. And often yes, what we see in US bike infrastructure is unsafe, leading to basically no cyclist using it.

Bikes are great when your development pattern is Netherlands-like: Not dense enough for serious public transport to the home, or to do everything on foot, yet not so light that many trips go past 10 miles. I bet there's a few large metro areas that could support this, but in a lot of the country, it's not about unsafe lanes.
It's pretty good, they're fairly aggressive with C build tool chain security stuff.
[Because linking to cool zsh features seems to be a hobby of mine…]

If you're using zsh for this you can access terminfo directly¹, instead of hardcoding escapes(for example, "echoti cup $snowflakes[$i] $i"²) or shelling out to tput. You can also use zselect to replace sleep. Extra points for "echoti smcup" to use the secondary screen when available, instead of wiping the screen.

Turn off the wifi.
I think it's real. When I sign into my account, kernels don't run. Noteable is one of a couple of realtime collaborative Jupyter notebook environments, including Deepnote and Cocalc (my site). I know from chatting with Kyle Kelley earlier this year that they were investing strongly in ChatGPT integration, but evidently this didn't fully ship, since their "Upgrade to Pro" dialog says "COMING SOON: NoteableAI!" in bold. Kyle regularly posted a lot of exciting work they were doing on AI integration on Twitter (e.g., [1]).

Wonder if they were really cutting it close with funding, were in talks to raise another round, and then the conversations all fell through.
what do you mean, "what if?"? Its already there. There's plenty of examples. For instance, the FBI is involved in background checks for gun purchases in the US. They are legally required to destroy any results of said check. They have not (to my knowledge) ever passed an audit.
Swedish fertility rate could also be driven by immigration numbers. And considering a significant fraction of Swedish immigrants don't even know the language, that's definitely going to be a skewed number.
So, we should “use the standard assisted driving scores from official government tests, such as the Euro NCAP” when you thought “Teslas score by far the highest”, but now you say the test sucks and has lots of methodology problems.

Reading, by very very large margin. Videos are difficult for me to learn from in part because they have a very low information density, in part because it's much harder to "back up" and review specific things or to "look ahead" to preview what's coming, and in part because I have a terrible time absorbing factual information verbally.

When I'm looking for instruction, I ignore video versions of it and only go to those if I can't find written ones.
