DDG has been much more aggressive about replacing my query with whatever their algorithm decides I meant. They support no advanced query operators, not even double quotes.

A search engine that ignores my query and shows me something else is not super valuable to me
For me search would be greatly improved if I could selectively exclude entire domains when I come across them. I want to be able to, with one click, remove GeeksForGeeks from all my search results — forever. And then I want to be able to continue to add to that (once called) "black list".

Never, ever show me Pinterest when I do an image search.

I imagine my search results would improve quickly in short order.

Better still, aggregate those lists from all users and you can improve search for users that have not yet built up a black list.

I don't see how this statement is useful, because if an alg is "tractable" iff it is poly-time then n^10 algorithms would be considered "tractable". I think the real reason we care about P in a CS-theoretic sense is because it's a closed group under various operations, which allows us to talk about things in an implementation-oblivious fashion.

In practice in the real world we care only about low-degree P though (usually n < 3 at most), are really interested in linear & nlogn, and care about constant factors.

There's also Quasi-Polynomial time algorithms which are interesting because they straddle the line between P and EXPTIME.

I don't think I am. The subtext of the original comment was that making opiates more widely available but more carefully regulated as to content and dosage would save lives. It pretty clearly would not do that. The high order bit of this problem is the number of people that start habitually using opiates; I think basically nothing else matters.
One small point: since the original image was 1 byte per pixel this SVD is storing the singular values and vectors in 8 byte double precision floats. Using doubles the SVD data is ~ 2.7x larger than the original image at n=60 (2*60+1 = 121 vectors stored vs. the original 360 is a factor of 1/3 then going from 1 to 8 bytes per element), so to get any compression at all you'd need to go to ~ 1-2 bytes per element.

I think for a fair comparison for any actual compression you'd need to consider the effects of quantization of the SVD output itself (in say the rows/columns of U,V alone, since you can keep the singular values at high-precision w/o appreciable cost). [I'd guess they'd be ok for 2 bytes/element, but 1 byte might be a problem].
Federation works when protocols and standards are negotiated upon, and people do coordinate implicitly wherever they apply the protocol. So I'm not sure if there's anything to explain as if we're at cross purposes.

Why couldn't a protocol and reference implementation exist for a client migration if servers have similar schemas for users and posts?
Yes, I agree. However, anecdotally again, I've never bought anything past the de minimis threshold from China that was actually labelled properly at the correct price - the likelihood of it getting flagged is low enough that it's worth just eating the loss in that case.

Given that, since it doesn't even make economic to inspect the packages even if you already knew they were mislabelled or misvalued, it's not clear to me that the taxpayer loses by increasing the de minimis threshold at least to a number where it would make sense. I'm thinking of the bureaucracy that the government incurs when they do decide to inspect and fine/confiscate, not the bureaucracy in the happy path, which as you've seen is very streamlined.

If one is tracking me, you’re right, but the probability of that is low.

If one I own is tracking someone else, either they know it, and are OK with it, or they stole my stuff. The probability of this is at least 100x higher.

The vast majority of the market are people like me, and (unless they outlaw fleet management equipment and stolen property trackers) the criminals can and will be able to buy things that are better for stalking.

Edit: By better for stalking, I mean these trackers probably have battery lives measured in months, not years, and probably aren’t rated for being magnetically attached to a wheel well or vehicle undercarriage. I doubt they even have an option for wiring into automotive 12V. On top of that, they’re not going to provide the stalker with high time resolution traces of where they’ve been for the last year.
What's the point? They have unified memory
Been homelabbing in some capacity for decades, current iteration ~5y in now.

Here are some pointers from me to you, with the assumption that you will end up with some form of personal production workloads and that extended unplanned downtime, security breaches and data-loss would be stress-inducing experiences you want to avoid.

- For any future hardware you add, get minimum 2 of everything. You never know when or why the extra will prove invaluable.

- Get a managed L2 PoE switch with more ports than you think you need. Used Brocade/Ruckus gear can be found on eBay, for example. Until you do, at your current scale you can get away with several cheaper smaller unmanaged switches. But I'd be considering getting more serious gear when start growing out of 10-12 Ethernet ports if you aren't already sick of cables and wall-warts at that point.

- The STH forum is an amazing resource. Identify and scourge megathreads relevant to you.

- Segregate your networks. Don't run your servers on the same network where you have your WiFi AP and user clients. Ideally, your servers won't even have a default gateway and be firewalled to only allow internal traffic even for the outgoing. You will set up not only reverse proxies for the incoming (Caddy will be the easiest to get started with if it's all the same to you) but also for the outgoing (squid still seems to be the sane default for HTTP?). You can still proxy HTTPS via an HTTP CONNECT proxy without having to care about TLS, certs, or MitMing.

- One piece to the above would be setting up a "bastion host" - the gateway and firewall between your labnet and the world. You want something with minimum 2 NICs. My personal experience with USB NICs has not been great. I strongly advice you to consider this use-case for the next piece of hardware you get alongside the switch. A cheap SBC (get minimum 2!) should be fine.

- Wireguard

- Use configuration management and resist the urge to manually configure stuff by SSHing and editing files. You want to be able to reproduce it and keep track of changes you made. Ansible is popular but there are many others - pick whatever feels smoother for you.

- Backups: do them. Learn about the 3-2-1 rule and apply it. You could let one of your Rpis with an HDD be a dedicated backup-sink.

- Virtualization: I'd say you shouldn't bother with this at all for now, unless learning virtualization is a goal in itself. Hypervisors like Proxmox make a lot of sense if you have 1 or 2 huge hosts. You have a larger number of smaller hosts already. Makes more sense to scale horizontally and use containers (Docker/LXC) to separate workloads within one host. If you get something more beefy than the Mac Mini down the line, it can start making sense to look into, though.

- Just Do It. You don't need any of the above to start iterating and prototyping today. Configuration management will make it easier to fearlessly set up and tear down your setup.
Depending on where you live that might no longer be an option, AAWireless is fighting a copyright infringements claim and have halted sales to North America. I hear some people complain the updates bricking their device - has that affected you in anyway?

When "SEO" first became a trendy buzzword decades ago, I immediately thought "these are fraudulent efforts to artificially appear more relevant than you actually are to the search algo" - and then it became a multi billion dollar industry.
So, at his site, 10+ years ago, his wind produced more frequent power than PV would have, at 3x the cost of a commercial solution.

Even then, PV would have been more cost-efficient. Now with storage probably even more so.

Small wind is a mug's game except in very specific circumstances.

> Or would the customer (who are taxpayers) be better served by having to pay CBP fees for their $20 shipment from china?

Sorry, this libertarian logic falls short because there are taxpayers who are not customers of bottom-of-the-barrel Chinese doodads, and thus are being hurt by this laxness. Why should I subsidize someone else’s “seen on social media” gadget addiction?
As well as a city in Michigan and Minnesota, which doesn't seem to have a connection to the corporation.
I've addressed this by adding a custom instruction to only search when necessary, when it can't give a good answer otherwise. Pretty much cuts the searching down to when I explicitly ask it to do so.
How did you find your current customers, and couldn't you do more marketing via that method to grow more? Does Tradier also offer an options screener that you're just wrapping, or what's the competitive advantage? How were you able to sign an agreement with Tradier, was there some competitive advantage that allowed you to sign with them that your competitors could not also sign with Tradier or a similar company? Just some thoughts I had.

We live forward in time, not backward.

Also, people know about IP rights. Either it's the law of the land or a treaty obligation. Clearly documented, as are the available remedies in case of dispute. Available to everybody, in theory.

This "DRM" was unilateral. Surreptitious. Why do this if not to remove agency from the client at some later date? Why bypass the legal system? Silently?

Altruism? Maybe, but that's just as bad, idealists and coercion go hand in hand throughout human history.

Pragmatism? Seems more likely. The trains can be fixed, except they get turned off from the mothership whenever they seem to be in the shop. They don't fix them for free, presumably.

Either way, that is some snake ass shit, since it's undocumented. Poor.
Sad that he lost access to his marker space, and the equipment he used to make this project. I feel like hacker spaces, especially with industrial and metal working equipment, are on the decline. Am I over fitting on the tragedy of TechShop in the SF Bay area, or are folks observing this in other places too?

I had a database that was in a boot-crash loop because it had a corrupted innodb_history_list for a given table.

Everything would be ok if we could just delete the table, but that would involve opening a session and that wouldn’t be possible because of the immediate crashing.

On a whim I thought, “well what if I just have a really short amount of time to connect before it reboots?” So I opened up 5 terminal windows and executed “while true; do mysql -e ‘drop table xyz;’ done” in all of them

After about 10 minutes one of the hundreds of thousands of attempts to connect to this constantly rebooting database succeeded and I was able to go home at a reasonable time.
This will have virtually zero effect.

Oh it will have a huge effect politically. Biden can talk about how he is compassionate and fighting the injustice of federal marijuana crimes.

It's perfectly politically. Zero cost, and lots of benefit.

At my company we used AWS workspaces for training classes. Whenever we'd have a class, we'd create 1 or 2 spare workspaces. If someone couldn't connect to their workspace, we'd give them the connection information for one of the spares.

I was so happy when we reworked our classes to no longer use AWS workspaces.
This is exactly what happened to our son (10yo) as he went through the chapters. He would start seeing everything around him (and, particularly, in his Minecraft environment) in if-else statements, etc. It was quite fun to observe.
My corporate VPN wouldn't connect to same public IP after 24 hours (I work from home). So I wrote a very crude bash script on Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (which also runs local DNS server), which would telnet into the router 5 minutes before my login time, and reboot the router
And as a nice bonus you get chaos monkey for free:)
Of the people your suggesting to no layoff, how many of them are going to make that transition to working for a not-a-business? Doesn't seem like a smart move.

I'm also not sure how much experience you have with creating content for some form of broadcast or how much experience you have running the broadcast side of things. Some one has to schedule the content to avoid dead air. Someone has to set up the ad breaks so that you can hopefully monetize it. Someone has to put the content in the correct format for the streaming system to use. Someone has to wrangle/manage all of that wonderful metadata about that content so someone wonder WTF this channel is about can have a clue. What backend are you using to do the streaming? Who's going to maintain that when some intern at the cloud provider you're using runs an update to a core router?

yeah, i might be to close to this as i've been around linear channels for streaming and back to bouncing the feed to a satellite for distribution. it is irksome to read someone's "just do it for free" like it's no big deal

Yeah custom TLs have a lot of promise and might be the most interesting feature among all the clones. It's a big ask to (new) users to curate our experience and having turnkey options could really make it easy to get the specific type of value we want right away. I hope they lean into it a lot more in the design.

Monte Carlo might be ok to OTC derivatives, however for automatic market making of exchange traded option, which are mostly American, it would be too slow.

The talent itself isn’t, but the fact that they have the strongest signal for talent: they pay more, give more tools and talent-complements (data, training sets), and have more open business model helps them attract more talent for now.

It’s not a strong moat, but it is an advantage.

This is also an interesting one...

Thought 1 - is this a result of the limitations of assembly coding? Is it more efficient (either computationally or memory-wise) to store 29 constants rather than doing it computationally? This would make "29 levels" a conscious assumption and I'm assuming there must be some kind of technical hardware limitation that makes it 29.

Thought 2 - is this a result of game coding logic?

Game code runs on a game loop. So there is a "minimum" logical number of frames that things could possibly happen i.e. 1 frame. So, the "max speed" is set at 1 frame. You can't go any faster than that. So if they just made (e.g.) 1 frame less per next level, they just decided that 29 frames was a nice starting speed.

This makes "29 levels" less of an assumption, and more a consequence of other decisions.
You’re forgetting about replication and erasure coding overhead. 10 exabytes seems very low tbh. I’d put it closer to 50-100EB at this point.
It may do what I did in that one shrine in Breath of the Wild after I got impatient trying to solve it the “right” way, and just yeet the ball into the hole by making it jump the walls. :)
If you charge at home like many EV owners, the NACS change isn't that big of an event. Otherwise it'll just mean getting an adapter, and it's unlikely that stations like Electrify America, EVGo, etc, are going to be ripping out all of their CCS2 plugs overnight.

The bigger issue will be the gnashing of teeth by Tesla owners when Superchargers are taken up Kias and Fords.
I created the most popular Turkish social platform, Eksi Sozluk, using a single plaintext file as its content database back in 1999. It had taken me only three hours to get it up and running without any web frameworks or anything. It was just an EXE written in Delphi. The platform's still up albeit running on .NET/MySQL now and getting banned by Erdogan government for baseless or false reasons (like "national security"). Despite being banned, it was the seventh most popular web site in Turkey two weeks ago, and the second most popular Turkish web site in the same list: https://x.com/ocalozyavuz/status/1735084095821000710?s=20

You can find its ancient source code from 1999 here: https://github.com/ssg/sozluk-cgi

The platform is currently at https://eksisozluk1999.com because its canonincal domain (https://eksisozluk.com) got banned. Any visitors from outside Turkey should get redirected anyway.

Since it's still a legal business entity in Turkey, it keeps paying taxes to Turkish government, and even honors content removal requests despite being banned. Its appeals for the bans are in the hands of The Consitutional Court to be reviewed for almost a year now.

A newspiece from when it was banned the first time this year: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/01/eksi-sozluk-wh...

How you could have enough control over the machine to reroute the error log to (what I assume was) a Pastebin api, while also lacking access to any of the files on the machine? In my mind you'd be required to ssh into the machine to upload, and if you're ssh'd in, why not just cat the log?
But if the quality of the response is poor, it's irrelevant that it was generated quickly. If it was using different data to generate higher quality responses, would that not slow it down?
Very clever game. I still haven't gotten too far in it yet.

I heard about this game from Jonathan Blow. This game helped convince him to hire Jack for their current game, and Jack ended up doing a lot of level design on the game.

And then Jack passed away a few months ago, at the young age of 25. Jonathan Blow talks about it in this clip[1].

When you're estimating a ratio between two outcomes, the rule of thumb is that you want at least 10-100 samples of each outcome, depending on how much precision you want.

They got 10,000 samples of hits, and a huge number of samples of misses. Their result should be very accurate. (32,000 was a different number)
Congrats Lee. I saw it in my local library as well and was pleasantly surprised. Wanted to check it out and realized I had my copy from Nostarch directly as I had pre-ordered several months back :-). Someone else can now enjoy learning Julia for the first time.
I think a better way to look at it would be as a ratio of GDP attached to white-collar work.

I’m happy to consider 20 $/m * 12 m/y * 300M = 7.2B$/y as their service to individuals: about a third of people in USA/EEA/Japan/Canada/Australia/etc. with a fairly high margin over computing costs. That alone could justify a valuation between 20-50B$. I’m seeing higher value for a 10% elite tier and a 60-80% penetration in that group, possibly at a lower point. They could have a billion paying users in India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc. at a lower price point.

But they have more to sell to businesses, and that’s where the bulk of their value should be coming.
Worked at a public university. Windows server guru ran a script which had a bug that triggered the wipe of thousands of Windows desktops and some servers on campus.

Being an electronics nerd first, I went around grabbing the hdds (ultimately collected 600+). Took them, a bunch of ATX supplies, and USB adapters to a computer lab. Used some sufficiently thick wire to jump the pins on the PSUs so they’d power up when plugged in.

Plugged in hard drives to lab PCs with USB, into these external power supplies, booted the lab PCs to live USB Linux, ran data recovery over a week, swapping disks as I went. Copied users data to their network drives which was campus policy all along but a lot of people don’t care.

So if your power switch ever breaks on your desktop, use wire to jump pins on the PSU
