ISPs do provide routers with firewalls, for this very reason of course. You still need to open ports to actually reach the service you're hosting, only now you don't need to figure out what your actual IP is.

DNS is more than just pretty names, it allows for a hierarchy that holds meaning. It is way more than just friendly for humans. TBH I would posit that having everything as IP literals would cause more human errors than not. You need to keep a context of all subnetting in your mind, which is not feasible in many networks.

Yup, the company I work for has the world's fastest LLM appliance, based on a hardware design co-locating memory and compute. It requires compilation innovation as well in a sort of hardware-software codesign. We don't see transformer models as being an impediment in terms of memory requirements or speed in the near future.

[I would be happy to say more but I just got a top-level comment flag killed, presumably because they though I was advertising, so I won't mention the company name.]
It depends whether you have any opportunities at the moment that are directly attributable to a singular focus on "web development". That's not a productive or healthy way to look at things imo—though it might seem like it if you're relatively knew—but if your prospects are good right now, then this won't help you necessarily keep your current job or get another one. It will help you reason about code, logic, and computers in a way you wouldn't otherwise, but you'll have a hard time if you're not enthusiastic about learning for the novelty of it, because it will eventually be quite challenging and you'll need to allocate significant amounts of time.

I say that it's not a productive way to look at it, because intensity and longevity of singular professional focus only lasts as long as your intellectual and physical infrastructure around it, which means doing things that are somewhere between a short and long distance away from your core subject; sleeping, learning fundamentals, algorithms, design, hiking etc.. (Web Dev, as with anything, can get just as intensely unstimulating as it can stimulating)

Also, learning how your language kind of gets compiled is just fascinating.
My personal list contains The Iliad. I want to finish it before I die. It should not be impossible.
What are you using instead? Hard coded IPs? Or have you built your own lookup service?

If you have decent TTLs dns doesn’t result in a shitstorm of lookups, nor does it require anything more powerful than a raspberry pi to respond to them
Your comment is somewhat unclear, and I'm not sure what part "contrarian" is referring to. We just go on the evidence we have, and so far there isn't any evidence (as far as I'm aware) that covid survives longer than a year in the gut, or that it causes non-GI symptoms in the gut.

EBV is very detectable when it reactivates. When it is dormant it doesn't cause symptoms, as far as we know. Even when it reactivates it's unclear if it causes symptoms (that happens in astronauts and students taking exams, and they don't report ME/CFS symptoms).
They said they would attack anyone they thought was headed to an Israeli port.

What's the greater leap, them assuming that silence was unacceptable and therefore likely headed to Israel, or that they're taking random, unpredictable pot shots and their actual agenda isn't related to Israel at all?

> “Some third-party reverse-engineered your service to support devices you have implicitly said through years of non-support [2] that you do not want to provide this service to, so you now have an obligation and/or requirement to support third-party interoperation.”

The gubmint overreach crowd suddenly got real quiet on HN today.
> This argument also gets to a more common trend we've had in recent decades where those with authority step on others freedoms because they believe they know better. Individuals should be able to make their own choices and be responsible for the consequences. In this case, the train operator should be aware if the service needs and risks if it is missed. If anything goes wrong they are responsible for it. Even if the triggers to disable the train were put in with the best of intentions, if I were the manufacturer I would worry that installing such a system could potentially put me entirely liable for anything that goes wrong.

This, specifically, is the piece where I think there's some moral ambiguity, and specifically I do not think one has the moral ability to completely disavow the outcomes that the use or misuse of one's product causes, especially when they affect third parties. If you know that use of your product under certain circumstances will cause a large amount of harm to people other than the owner or operator, and you know those circumstances are likely, and you don't do anything to prevent that, I think you have some moral culpability. Whether or not you care is a different story, and this certainly isn't a legal argument, but I think you're responsible for the outcomes of the use of your labor and resources, especially when those are easily foreseeable. I think specifically in the case of selling a train to a municipal train operator - if I told you that the trains in Poland were known for derailing because the national train operations service was financially underwater and never repaired them, would that change your opinion? (It's not true, as far as I know, but would you find it surprising if it were?)

And, absolutely to your first point - if the goal of what you're doing is to prevent unsafe operation of your product in a situation where you legitimately believe it can cause grievous harm to third parties, then yes, you do all the things you say in paragraph one. That's why I'm saying I don't think that's what the train operator was doing, but I don't think the argument is totally cut and dry that the manufacturer has no moral right to stop the trains, and I don't buy the argument that the moment you sell the products of your labor to someone else you fully absolve yourself of the moral liability for the outcomes of the use of that product.

(And again, I'm repeatedly using the word "moral" in here, because this isn't a legal, statutory, or contractual argument, it's purely a moral one. I also recognize the world's a complicated place, we all have to make decisions in which there's not a clear good answer, and nobody lives a truly pure and moral life, so take this in the spirit of an old fashioned debate about how one can live one's best life, and not a specific condemnation or Twitter-esque outlining of what precisely a witch is while one gathers kindling.)
Well, that sucks…
> The implication of Biden's pardon promises to have significant implications

Sort of a second-order implication, then. In any case, I hope the consequences will be consequential for all those involved.
Sure, but ... he's 16.
Actually, technology is the thing that gets us out of crises.

Everybody was talking about starvation and lack of food. However, the green revolution in agriculture ended up being able to produce massive amounts of food.

People have been talking about the population explosion. However, reliable birth control emerged as a technology that has pretty much solved the problem as more and more women have access to it.

If we mitigate climate change, it won’t be from people decided to conserve and use less, but due to the masssive scaling of mostly solar energy that can produce carbon free energy cheaply.

I would argue that technology is the driver and not social factors. Human nature probably hasn’t changed very much. Human environment, due to technology has changed massively.

I’ve looked at “the evidence presented” in great detail when it made the news cycle in tech circles, I’m also pretty familiar with Apple’s calibration process and have gone through what information is publicly available via websites that document more intricate details like The Apple Wiki (they’re surprisingly accurate by the way).

I’ve touched upon some of the details on calibration 4 months ago here on HN when it was a trending topic[0].

Nah, the implication is that many human drivers speed, tailgate, don't pay attention, etc. There's a reason rear end collision blame is usually applied to the car behind by default.

> In the United States, the shapes of typefaces are not eligible for copyright but may be protected by design patent.

In the US only the font files themselves are copyrightable. It would be a difficult case to make that the model weights, or output bears any copyright-violating relation to the font files.
Calling Democrats the party of "division and hate" (not suggesting they are perfect), encouraging people to vote Republican, moving out of state to dodge regulations, defending Scott Adams, opposing unions (sometimes using illegal tactics), allowing Alex Jones to return to Twitter, agreeing with antisemitisic tweets, advocating for absolute free speech (except where people criticize him / his interests).
No I'm saying parcel maps and data sheets are not an approachable high level description of how these challenges are getting resolved. It's possible it has been. I'm not disputing that. But I don't have the necessary technical background to read the data sheets and make that determination & go from low level technical info to high level description of how these problems are getting tackled.

That being said, the biggest hurdle is with the HSR is not technical but the political disfunction within the US that cripples large projects:

> “There were so many things that went wrong,” Mr. McNamara said. “SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional. They went to Morocco and helped them build a rail system.” Morocco’s bullet train started service in 2018.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/us/california-high-speed-...

The original route that was supposed to service SF <-> LA now has detours that have added substantially to the costs and slowed down the rail (no longer a straight line). Similarly, they started building it out in the easiest possible point (in the middle of the country in the flat lands) rather than in places where they could start operating it and providing value (Bay Area/LA). It was clearly hijacked as a way to steal funds earmarked for transit and now is such a large project that has begun, that funding will probably continue indefinitely to help save face.

The problems you'll face developing product onboarding in-house
People often argue that the real-world success/failure of an idea is evidence for its correctness or lack thereof. For example, many argue that the failure of the Soviet Union is evidence that communism is wrong; similarly, many view the decline of religion in the mainstream contemporary West as yet more evidence that religion is erroneous.

This is another instance of that type of argument: if, in the long-run, collectivist cultures grow and individualist cultures shrink, that would be evidence that collectivism is more correct than individualism.

Of course, an individual need not care about such arguments. An individual might be happy to be communist, non-communist, religious, non-religious, individualist, non-individualist, whatever, even if that was in some objective sense wrong. They might just not care if it was.

Discovery is the original sin of the modern age

I think the speed isn’t where the focus matters. Obviously speed is a factor in severity and a driver who is bombing down the highway is probably more dangerous than your average bear, but safe follow distance is the thing people just overwhelmingly do not practice or care about. If you’re able to react in time if something happens in front of you, that’s what is going to keep you out of (preventable) trouble more than if you’re sticking to 60 instead of 70 on the highway.

The unfortunate thing is people take your propensity to maintain a safe follow distance as an invitation to cut aggressively in front of you, potentially across multiple lanes.

It sucks all around, but I don’t think AVs are the solution and I definitely don’t trust any company producing AVs is delivering a product that does what it claims. Waymo doesn’t acknowledge in this about the part where their vehicles have human operators take control when the car doesn’t know what to do. I assume they’re not including that data. That’s going to skew the result. Even if the car is super safe in most driving conditions, ignoring what is arguably the least safe conditions the car can be in in your data analysis is fucked and intentionally dishonest.
I don't know if there is a rule about science papers links, but I think using the journal paper link [1] is more suitable. The paper is open access, so no need for research gate.

Nowadays most top schools would provide a financial aid package to someone from a family in that situation ("tough to pay for brand name cereal") that requires no family contribution and probably doesn't require loans.

Stanford for example does not charge tuition if your family income is under $150k/year and family assets are typical for that income level. Under $100k/year and they don't charge for room and board.
Got it. Yeah flawed. I'm not really prepared to comment beyond that.

Sounds like SUV driver was on their phone at the junction, then continued to mess about with it as the cars pulled away.

I imagine the collision speed was quite low since they just left the junction. There's a reason things like following distance and looking in front of you while driving™ exist.

> Need more power? The new Macs are absolutely great. I'm eyeing Asahi Linux too. It seems it can't do USB-C video yet, which is how I've so far avoided having a KVM switch.

Unless something changed very recently, Asahi can’t do any external video on the Mac Books (only HDMI on the Mac Mini, and maybe not all variants thereof).

External video on Asahi Linux is the only thing keeping me from considering a Mac Book Pro purchase. I simply can’t stomach working without a 27” 4K monitor.
Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
Hi HN,

I'm looking to build something to transfer files between two devices on a network (one client and one server, both of which are under my control).

Obviously I could write something bespoke with raw TCP sockets, but rather than reinventing the wheel I'm curious about what existing options people recommend. I assume there are some better technologies than FTP nowadays?

Ideally some kind of built-in fault tolerance would be great, because my plan is to use this on a phone/in an environment where the connection could be interrupted.

Edit: just to clarify - this is something I want to build into an application I am writing, ideally with support across iOS (client), Windows, and mac (server).

One way transfer is all I need, and I mostly plan on photos/videos (so multiple files ~3-20MB in size).

Thanks!
That's the point of the risk part of the comment. Because we've evolved to have a theory-of-mind with other humans, we can at least know or intuit some of that risk. That's different than accepting a black-box risk. The whole point of the trust part of the comment is that, in order to build trust, we need to have risk-informed decisions.
I would add:

- Gravity's Rainbow (which I did enjoy, but so many people raged against)

- Infinite Jest

- Finnegan's Wake

- War and Peace

- Divine Comedy

- Remembrance of Things Past

Didn't feel the same way about Catch-22. Really solid humor mixed with absolute tragedy.

Not really? No need to mess with destination ports, no need to visit whatismyipaddress.com, no need to risk exposing your entire home network through SIP ALGs, and your Xbox/PlayStation doesn't tell you that you have a bad "NAT type". Plus, when you forward port 1024-65535 to your Nintendo Switch, as Nintendo says you need to do in its documentation, the rest of your devices don't have their P2P network traffic impeded.

Why do people flag this?

Both my parents were only children, their parents only had siblings for two out of 4. One of my Mom's second cousin was a retired NYPD cop from Ireland who took the time tracing the family tree. He went from a letter of condolence from my grandfather to his mom and tracked down my Mom. But those two branches being large we didn't click with any of them but him. Cool for my mom and fun to meet distant relatives. Thanks for jogging my memory, I should contact him and see who has kids around my kid's age (15) just to see. My wife, an only child too, is close with her second cousins and that is the extended family for us.
Really cool! As a 16 year old I also had servers in my room. I still have them. They're towers, but they have ECC RAM, Xeon processors, and lots of drives. Arch Linux is the base operating system, managed by Ansible. Everything is connected together with a mesh network. I have Nomad and Consul running on each server, and self-hosting has been great fun.
It's true that Amazon built their empire on the strategy of considering fulfillment speed their primary distinction metric, but they are long past the point where cost could be ignored. Where I live (Germany), most web shops are at least on par with Amazon in terms of fulfillment, and that's before considering "Amazon, but without Prime subscription".

> There is huge demand for hourly package delivery

The market is huge, because what little demands there is, it's very inelastic. You either need super low latency delivery and are willing to pay almost any price (pizza gets cold, deliverator to the rescue!), or you don't. If someone could magically offer the service at lower cost they could own that market, but that market would hardly grow.
I don't see why that matters since they already have a fleet of some 20 or so falcon 9s. They launched almost 2 times a week all this year.

I think if we had built 10-20 shuttle orbiters turnaround wouldn't have been an issue either. (not really, shuttles were eyewateringly expensive).

The Schrödinger equation emerges from classical mechanics most closely (well ok that's a bit subjective) from the Hamilton Jacobi frame work, and it was indeed here that Schrödinger saw, in hindsight, because in the beginning he pretty much guessed it, the biggest connection to classical dynamics. This is also related to the optic-mechanical relation that abstracts mechanics to the point it becomes comparable to optics.

There should be some sort of trigger whereby over a certain threshold of problems the devs have to perform the support role. It's unacceptable to deliver a shitty system and rely on support to avert disaster or user revolt, there has to be some sort of incentive to counter this.
There’s hacks and workarounds because billions of dollars have been poured into transformers by the biggest tech companies in the world.

Your assumption that the same effort could be given to MAMBA or RWKV isn’t necessarily true. I’m sure there’s research arms looking to see if they scale to the level OpenAI or Google have their transformers at now, but they’re still very much in their infancy.

This all ignores the risk of them not panning out and the lost time not focusing some energy on transformers.
