My ISP is supposed to be moving users whose contract rollover to CGNAT.

This is why IPv6 needs to be available everywhere, including on mobile.
It's a bit wordy, but it's not really asking for anything too special.

Something like "I'm a police officer with ABC department, and I need to know which drugs Mr. XYZ has purchased between [x] and [y] in regards to a criminal drug trafficking investigation I am investigating" seems to satisfy all of the requirements.

* "administrative request": the officer is asking

* "the information sought is relevant and material to a legitimate law enforcement inquiry": they are real police, and they are investigating a crime regarding this person and these drugs.

* "the request is specific and limited in scope to the extent reasonably practicable in light of the purpose for which the information is sought": It is about Mr XYZ, and it is about drugs he purchased, the crime being investigated is about the same.

* "and de-identified information could not reasonably be used": because it is specifically about Mr XYZ
I think its weird that Vercel has this limit. There is no practical reason I can think of for having such a limit on URL characters that is so small. Chrome suggests a 2MB limit[0] for example. Firefox I believe if memory serves (I can't find the source for this claim atm) is 1 MB effectively, and I don't think Safari is any lower than that either (and may well be more inline with Chrome on this, at 2 MB).

The web as a platform has no defined limits at all.

Vercel is an annoyingly happy path platform and makes too many assumptions about how things should work or be built.

An explanation for such a limit would certainly be worth disclosing.

Opposite take: I consider IPs appearing anywhere except the dhcpd configuration and the DNS zone files (or their database equivalents) to be a bug.

IPs are opaque and meaningless. Maybe you can keep in your head that “.2 is the database, .3 is the web server, .4 is the redis, .5 is the other api, .6 is the other database”, but I can’t and wouldn’t even if I could.

DNS is rarely the problem.
FYI re the video:

I agree with your colleague.

At my institution, all of the lowest quality drafts I read are made with latex. I think it's because the programs people use to write latex do not have spelling and grammar checking. Also, the people that prefer latex, are the same types of people that are more interested in technical things, than spelling and grammar.
How did you learn the prerequisite solid state physics knowledge in order to fully understand the background behind the first two chapters?

e.g. The actual mechanism by which an integrated circuit transforms input into useful output. I've never been able to find a solid explanation on how even the simplest real world integrated circuit, such as a TI SN7400, actually does that.
> The ROI is the mitigation of a third world war by a mad despot and the consequential preservation of lives that would otherwise have been lost. It's a hugely valuable investment once you look at the historical costs of appeasement.

Citation *massively* needed. There is no evidence that a 3rd world war was mitigated. There is substantial evidence that this war has gone on far longer than it would have if the west had stayed out.

> Also, to repeat the point with a bit more nuance: most of the money being "sent" doesn't even leave the US economy until it's in the hands of people e.g as wages. US military procurement rules mean that the aid money going to Ukraine for hardware procurement ultimately only goes back to US equipment manufacturers and other US companies in that supply chain.

I understand this.

What I do not understand is how making a massive wealth transfer from our children and grandchildren to shareholders of the military-industrial complex is viewed as net-positive economic activity.

Taking out a loan against the future productivity of your children isn't suddenly made okay because you spend that money with other Americans to send guns to someone in another country.

The current best-in-class performance is from transformer models so of course research is focusing on this. You're creating a false dichotomy between "work on transformers" and "work on something new and fundamentally better." All of the current work on optimizing transformer architectures is exploring and better understanding the space, and so it IS leading us to better architectures. This is the most fertile ground for new insights that will outperform the current approaches.

New technologies aren't generally just created out of whole cloth by some genius, they're build up of layers of incremental improvements, each of which is modest in its own right but which when taken together are groundbreaking.
That's fair, but I think there's a LOT of equally culturally relevant books like eg Gravity's Rainbow, War and Peace, Infinite Jest, with many more characters and a lot more complex plot.

Happy you like it :).

I get the idea of the "inverted order". I wonder if it would be enough to make it configurable so that C-Enter inserts a new block before the current one + Heynote sets the cursor at the beginning of the buffer at startup (instead of last which is the current behavior)?

I don't think Lit counts as a framework. It's much lower-level plumbing. And tagged template literals are part of the browser.
How do you expect EU lawmakers to require a standard which quite possibly hasn't even been invented yet?

I wouldn't expect any standard becoming a legal requirement until one with open specification becomes available and a significant part of the industry has switched to it.

Consider Tauri[1] as well. It uses the native WebViews on the various platforms instead of bundling Chromium.

FWIW, we also have an Electron app, in part because the integration with native APIs (which we use) is fairly full-featured with Electron. But if I was greenfield starting an app today I'd probably try Tauri. For your app it looks like you're not trying to do too much outside the WebView so might be worth checking out.

Interesting. Didn't realize people were already using it for previsit diagnosis. Fwiw, it could completely be hallucinating. I wouldn't use it for anything more than entertainment purposes.

Really? I'm not so sure.

For example, an open source "community edition" could be treated as a freemium product and an OSS marketing could adapt a PLG playbook to help identify and nurture those who are good candidates for the "enterprise edition". Also, you have a community. They're in Slack or Discord, making pull requests, filing Github issues. You should be able to adapt the CLG playbook to help identify and nurture future customers from within the community.
> I fear the unintended side effects. Like, somebody put away on such a charge because it was easier than the more important charge. Now gonna have to be retried.

If the charge was important and also provable, it should have been charged. And in many cases, the statute of limitation would prevent charging the conduct now, anyway.
I have N3096.pdf (April Fool's 2023 draft) perpetually open; will check it.
Fair enough. I should have said not how our roads were built in the context of modern cars and population levels. I thought that assumption was a given. So, sure, we could program every car to obey the speed limit and have a 4.5 sec following distance. But do you think those tradeoffs will be palatable to society? The last portion of my comment was aimed at the oft-ignored aspect that public policy will govern the extent of AV adoption. You have to design your product in that environment, not an abstract one that's been sanitized from all those aspects. The best product in the world is still worthless if society says they don't want you selling it.

I'm pretty sure that's not chemical dependence. The "one shot and you're a junkie" myth is a myth. I think it takes a bit of determination to get addicted to nicotine.
Yeah I usually just use rsync for this. In a loop if the network is unreliable.
seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/
Cool app! Reminds me of Quiver[1], which is the note-taking app I used throughout my college degree with varying amounts of success. It is also in part what inspired me to build my own note-taking app, as it opened me up to the idea that there are still a lot of unexplored modalities in the note-taking / knowledge-management space.

The things you mention may be the problems he thinks he has, but none of them are a problem from our point of view. From our perspective, his problem is that he doesn't hide out in the server closet like a nerdy engineer should.

I think that I was being downvoted because people found what I said unpleasant. A certain fraction of people assume that the reason for saying something unpleasant is that you must support that. Which makes it easy to incorrectly jump from my saying that history is full of a specific set of attitudes, to believing that I must support that set of attitudes.

For example, consider reading a biography of a scientist who studies links between IQ and racism. If the scientist finds weak links, most people will judge the scientist not racist. If the scientist finds strong links, most people will say that the scientist is racist. I encountered this example in https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691190808/th....

HN tends to be better about this error than most communities. But it is still not immune. Come to a conclusion that people don't like, and people tend to jump on you.
this is what I usually do (to skip the blame game and get to working on the solution), but REALLY be careful about WHO you tell that you made a mistake
In years past if you knew someone it might have been easy to get a server plugged in and on the network with a public IP at a university. Maybe in an office or lab somewhere on campus. Nobody would likely know, or care to ask any questions.

Today, they are more and more locked down, everything is run by "enterprise" IT, you need to submit forms and get approvals for every new device with a public IP address, etc. Anything unknown that pops up on the network will be automatically blocked until they know what it is and who is responsible for it.
What do you mean concretely? What is the “what have we done” and unintended consequences of LLMs having some small % error under some circumstances?

When you do head to uni, maybe see if there's a nearby place which can co-locate your servers?

Stuff like this, though "near the uni" would make it easier to access if/when the hardware needs a bit of adjustment. :)

Note that co-location pricing can be all over the place (from low to incredibly high), so don't get discouraged too early.

This website might be useful too, as it seems to show data centers in various countries.

Might be useful for putting together a list of places to investigate. :)
>> Things that are considered normal in society like women not being interested in
it and engineering are self reinforcing.

I'm sorry, but I guess can't follow your logic at all. I haven't used the word normal anywhere. To me it seems you find it normal that everyone should be thrilled to become an engineer. Women themself at large find it more normal to choose other professions when they have an option.

>> I don't know of any studies that indicate they shouldn't be doing those jobs

Me neither. Still if they would exist, they would be about women as group and not about what a single woman can do.

>> This robs women of higher paying stem jobs and society of more people to do those jobs.

Believe it or not some people (men or women) care more about what they do then how much money they make doing it.
Show HN: Create and deploy multi-page web app prototypes using chat
gptengineer.app lets you prototype, deploy and iterate on web apps using plain english. Here is a video of how I use it: https://www.loom.com/share/abda1d8e33134d0e944297afd3a51664

We designed it around the principles:

1. Leverage LLMs where they work best: LLMs are faster than humans at putting together prototypes of a few hundred lines of code. By using them early on, and give high level change request commands when the project is small, and then let human devs take over, it’s a productivity boost.

2. non-technical + programmer collaboration: All changes from the app is made as git commits, so that non-technical people (via chat) and programmers are able to contribute to the same code.

LLMs are expensive, but we left it open over the christmas holidays for anyone to try it out: https://run.gptengineer.app/

Would love to hear what you think!
HN editorializes titles all the time.... :-0 In this case I did it to clarify the relevancy of the article.

I think you are conflating editing with editorializing which are not the same thing. Picking out what you think is important in the article and putting it in the title is editorializing and explicitly disallowed on HN because it puts your commentary above everyone else's. If you want to say what's important about the article, write a comment about it.

TBF working a full time job has sucked the soul out of me. The last thing I want to be doing on my free time is be on more computers. I used to be a kid eager about technology but now I am actually a boomer. I have a hard time using smart TV's now a days.
I've starting using rclone over rsync for this application. Rclone can do segmented transfers and handles large numbers of files better, at least in my experience.
Yeah I was thinking similar. And/or a separate shortcut key that opens a new block at the very top of the page (regardless of where the current cursor is positioned).
Exactly. They don't need to sell at cost, they just need to slightly underbid the competition. Which they've executed perfectly.
EU has no flying rockets right now and Ariane6 is basically DOA if it ever gets over the finish line.
ULA has launched only 3 rockets this year.

SpaceX has eaten the entire western launch market by simply pricing their launches slightly below legacy prices. And at the same time they give themselves (starlink) the at-cost price so no one can compete with them there either.

Maybe Jeffery Bezos and his deep pocket book will eventually present some competition, but Blue will be fighting headwinds the entire way down to the bottom price. SpaceX has this down pat and BO will be learning on the go. Any price improvement BO makes for years to come can be matched effortlessly by SpX.

The only other plausible challenger is China, but those launches are not really available to the west.
Definitely recommend Turing Complete. I've been playing it off and on over the last few weeks, just finished the first working CPU. It includes small hints and solutions for most levels, so if you get stuck, you'll always have a way forward. The interesting thing is, for a lot of levels, you can just google the component you're trying to build and use actual logic diagrams as guidance.

The game makes the whole topic a bit easier to grok with its visuals and the ability to step through your circuits when they're running. So, great fun. But beware, if you've been bitten by Factorio addiction, you might be in danger of missing a lot of sleep :)

Also, as some other comments mentioned, I highly recommend the Zachtronics games. Exapunks is amazing. But they're quite different, they're more like puzzle games about programming.
Theoretically transformers are fundamentally more powerful than stuff like Mamba and RWKV because they don't "forget"; the newest token can attend perfectly to the oldest token if it wants. Mamba and RWKV on the other hand compress the old state, based on information available at the time of compression. If it turns out the new token wants some information from the old token that during the compression was excluded due to the compression thinking it wouldn't be needed, the new token has no way to access it.

Basically any HTML document from 20-30 years ago (can't go any further because it didn't exist 50 years ago) will be completely readable and usable. The only issue is people creating content (not styling) in formats besides HTML.

As far as annotations, you can use the native <ruby>[1] tag, or strikethough, but if you mean "literally drawing on the text" then, yeah, you're looking for an image format at that point (which is fundamentally what PDF is), but we shouldn't default to storing text in image formats just because of one specific use case. (Also, as I said above, the only reason tools exist to easily do that in PDFs exist is because everyone insists on using a format that's hard to edit. )

Also, note that the context I was responding to was US legal documents, not something more presentation-heavy.

Holograms and Replicants: Joi and K's Relationship in Blade Runner 2049
I had to submit an essay to my father, at 16, about why I should be allowed to use a computer more than an hour per day.

The essay won, but my father began talking about me while I was at the computer, saying I was a zombie who wasn't part of the family anymore.

I was learning to code. I built a bunch of websites, and some projects and schemes that earned me fairly serious money in high school. I learned VB6, html, a little perl, and php, on my own, with no mentor, and an active booing.

I'm not sure my dad has ever seen or visited a website I've built (dozens, maybe over 100). I even have bespoke code deployed right now, serving him, that he does not know exists.

I still don't know why he tried to stand in my way all the time. I often think about where I'd be if I had an active supporter, like many kids have.
At least state side resisting arrest can be stopping an officers fist with your head, or putting your hands up to block being hit. The bar is so low and the penalties can be absurdly high, including felony charges in many states. It’s basically a way of enhancing charges or creating charges where there’s not enough evidence to produce other charges, and almost always used as a plea bargain cudgel.

The course explicitly states that it’s not a physics, or even really an electronics, course. It doesn’t go into the gritty details of how all this stuff works in the real world, just how once it does work you can string it all together to build a computer and then a virtual machine to run on it.

The Class Politics of Race
Except that's not what happened.

Typically people just compare the relative rates of men and women in STEM, but years ago I saw some graphs that used absolute numbers instead of relative numbers. It tells a very different story than the typical one: Up until the 80s (give or take a decade, I don't remember exactly when the inflection happened), men and women were graduating in STEM fields at around the same rate, and both increasing. After the inflection point, women graduates kept increasing at the exact same rate as before, but men skyrocketed.

Women aren't being pushed out, men flocked to these fields.
> I don't use that particular drug, have never used it and have no desire to use it but I'm fine with it being legal as long as there are some restrictions on where people can use it in public. I don't want to have to smell that unpleasant plant on the streets or public transit or other public places. There are appropriate and inappropriate places to smoke tobacco and something similar should be done for marijuana. Also, minors should not be allowed to use it just as they aren't allowed to use tobacco or alcohol.

I'm fairly certain that basically all places that have decriminalized/legalized marijuana have such regulations in place.
