Most of the mobility testing has been performed either in the meshnet-lab[1] or the pineconesim[2].

As the original author of that documentation, it's quite entertaining to have it quoted back to me. :-) In any case the routing "prefers" links labelled as the internet when there is a tiebreak between two peerings between the same pair of nodes, i.e. you are connected to some other device via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneously.

And while it is true that Pinecone cannot necessarily always make the best routing decision based on public keys alone, aggressive queue management attempts to provide the best QoS for all flows and it scales very well because nodes maintain only a small amount of state about their position in the spanning tree and their position in the SNEK. Importantly, shortcuts can and often are taken when Pinecone switches to tree-based routing as the geometric distance to the destination on the tree is evaluated at each hop. Routing "by the SNEK" is used primarily to find the remote node and as a fallback in case the tree routing fails.

There might not be data for the control group (the general prison population) past the first year.
> You simply choose to. It’s not easy

I choose not to, not because doing otherwise would be difficult but because doing otherwise would violate my personal code. Why should I violate my personal code, because it's cheaper for the state if I do? I'm happy with my tax dollars being used to incarcerate rapists and murderers, that's money well spent. Lock these people up so they can't hurt people anymore and throw away the key. Damn the expense, give them what they deserve.
Except, the slogan "Don't say gay" was made up by people opposed to the legislation it refers to, and the actual legislation does not contain that line nor is it in any way representative of the contents of the bill. It looks like you might be a victim of misinformation (as was I, initially). You might be happily surprised if you read the actual legislation, at least I was, as a pro-LGBT rights person who was concerned based on misleading commentary about it I had read at first.

The "Patriot Act" was mostly increases to military and spying. The "Inflation Reduction Act" was mostly about domestic manufacturing and supply chain stability. Every political thing in America gets a misleading name by its sponsors and a different misleading name by its opponents.
That's great. The claim was "the reason why such an attack happened is because the people who did the attack were the ruling government body of 2 million people for almost 2 decades". And that's transparent nonsense in service of the colonialists committing genocide right now. Do you disagree?

* I love startups

* I am a natural leader

* I am naturally self directed and motivated

Some key languages and systems I am most proficient at are Javascript (Node & browser), PHP, HTMX/Hyperscript, Python, Lua, Bash, Zig, AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, ECR, ECS and more, as well as Terraform) and more.

If you have questions, no strings attached, do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Plagiarists- which Claudine Gay is- should lose their tenure, because their tenure was predicated on them being legitimate scholars, and plagiarists are not legitimate scholars.

It was established that she has a skimpy record, and nearly every one of those contains near-duplication of text without attribution. How could you ever trust an academic after it was exposed that they did that (intentionally)?

It's hard to be an academic but not plagiarizing is rule #1 or #2.
Ukraine is (and will continue to be for decades) a fascinating case study for multiple reasons, but most impressively regarding NATO support. Although headlines detail billions upon billions in spending, the vast majority of those expenditures from the NATO side were for the notional values of stuff that was already just sitting around. This has got to be one if the cheapest conflicts--from a taxpayer perspective--they've ever supported, which is amazing considering the success Ukraine has experienced in bringing Russia's military to its metaphorical knees.

I think China would be far more aggressive with Taiwan if the West hadn't frozen Russia's central bank assets. That single move likely had the biggest impact in curtailing any expansionist dreams.
Looks great! Should we just use the "Apply" button on the listing, or...?
> A lot of "core" isn't "Stuff Bill wanted". There are loads of things in there that I never use, but I feel is necessary for a "core" library.

It's uh, esoteric is I guess the most polite term I can think of. SM3 hashes? TGA images? I found some typos for whatever that's worth: e.g. "If you the elements to remain in their order" is I think missing a word, maybe "want" or "intend")

Yes but it was an obvious trap and self-inflicted wound. Is giving the technically correct answer alone actually better considering the resulting consequences? Would have been smarter to give both the desired answer (calling for genocide is bad) AND follow it with the technical answer to make it clear she understood both what the schools rules are as well as what was happening in that hearing and why.

This all may be so. I have no strong opinion on if they will or will not 'waste' their population. But it seems you and others are not addressing the subject issue of the demographic cliff. That point of the demographic cliff is that there are a surplus of old people and a deficit of young (economically productive) people to sustain those old people. Comparison to the population of Taiwan or others are irrelevant in a sense.
> You could just as well say “let’s divide the frequency range between x and 2x by 10 instead of 12”. Or we do something between x and 3x instead. We just don’t.

The reasons for this are much much more complicated than "we just don't", and include "we sometimes do". The history of tunings and the emergence and dominance of 12-TET is fascinating and rooted in both math and myth.
True, although for a minute there it looked like the Corporation was acknowledging the plagiarism ("duplicative language", I think they called it?) and standing by here. Apparently those allegations had been out in the open in her field for quite some time, even before she was selected for the position. Given how hard it is even to get tenure at a top university, it's surprising that they selected someone with these skeletons lurking.
So much fun! And well implemented. What did you use to build it?
However, I'm like 90% sure that this can be made easier using p3/p4 controllers through the famicom expansion port. In particular, Hydrantdude and I found a consistent enough setup using the single at 1489 lines (pushdown gives you a 50% chance, and I think).

This setup would even allow crude human-possible ACE. Right now we're limited to small payloads (I made a proof of concept that activates the unused two player mode), but more sophisticated setups might give us more power.
I would ask if you apply the same rules regardless of the subject (Jew, Islamic, North Korean)?

"Is calling for the murder of Osama Bin Laden against the rules of university"?
My claim was that Hamas is the ruling body in Gaza, which is a simple fact. It responded to a comment saying that Hamas was not the ruling body in Gaza. That comment was false. Your political advocacy isn't relevant to what I'm saying.
> the epitome of cool

I remember being wowed by the blue power LEDs on VA Linux servers in the early or mid 2000s! Now any stock photo of a server room is covered with blue lights.
My facts were from various Twitter posts - I don't have them on hand but you can search fairly easily. It's pretty clear that wikipedia data doesn't cover this level of detail - but using game theory - it's pretty reasonable that the Houthis have a political goal and being random or scattershot in their attacks would dilute that goal.

When the administration of the University is making political statements and engaging in political activism, I would argue that they should lose the implicit protection that University faculty (I'd be willing to grant students that protection too) have for controversial ideas that they profess in the role of an academic. Even professors or students that take administrative roles should expect to lose such protection, since they have come to represent the university as an institution.†

For an example from the other side of the aisle, I opposed Steve Hsu being fired as VP of Research at Michigan State University in 2020 for his opinions, particularly regarding the genetics of race and intelligence (https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/16/open-thread-156-25/). Yet, ultimately, that was the risk of an administrative position such as his. He still is a full professor, and he has started several startups since then, so he's doing okay.

The main objection I have to positions like yours is that you believe that university administration should not be subject to pressure from politicians who grant universities the great privilege of being untaxed nonprofits with immense endowments and great influence in all the pillars of society. On the other hand, you believe that administrators should be subject to influence and control by left-wing student and academic protestors (I'm sure you think right-wing protestors would be illegitimate). I'm arguing that pressure on administration from both sides is legitimate, and that the former should flex its muscle more.

† I would also argue that academic fields that adopt activism as policy (so, all critical theory-influenced fields) should lose protection for their ideas, since they are clearly not pursued in a commitment to the truth, but that's a bit of an aside from my point here.
> It is also difficult to see how ChatGPT is competing with NYT

If I'm interested in Dick Cheney shooting someone by accident, and previously I would have googled that and been sent to NYT reporting on the incident (and get shown some ads or sold a subscription) but instead I ask ChatGPT - that seems like a competing product to me.

And fair use is a multi-pronged test - ChatGPT's use of the data is clearly of a commercial nature, and the portion of the copyrighted work used for training is presumably 100%. So while Wikipedia can quote an NYT article (being both noncommercial and a short excerpt) the court could well consider LLM training more in the nature of music sampling, where at times it's been held that even minuscule two second excerpts, distorted and mixed in with lots of other music, still need to be licensed.
I wonder if it looks different on different platforms. My first reaction looking at the site was that it looked super grainy - a lot of the embedded screenshots and interactive snippets are almost too noisy to read. I played with the setting and found that while I do like the aesthetic, it needs to be about half as strong to my eye.
Lyft sends me junk notifications even when I have not launched the app in months. Yet when I do request a ride, I absolutely want to be notified of any status updates.

> …will need to raise taxes for… I’d rather spend it on…

Politicians love to present initiatives like this as a zero sum game, and they rarely are. You’re assuming future crimes and reincarnation have no cost, and having fewer criminals in our communities doesn’t benefit children. It’s so much more complex than a line item on a balance sheet.
Is it open-source? I'm assuming not as I don't see a repository URL on the Play store or here, but thought I'd ask.
> The authors main criticism seem to be that you might lock yourself out of your own server one day.

I wonder if the author has ever used KVM, iDrac, IPMI, etc., or the log-in consoles on cloud platforms.

This was the first and only time I asked it. But as you say, LLMs are inherently using a bit of randomness. So other people using the same prompt will get different variations in the responses.

Grafana Labs | Backend / Systems Engineers | Security Director | Eng Director | REMOTE only

Grafana, we make Grafana (visualisation), Loki (for logs), Mimir (for metrics), Tempo (for traces), Pyroscope (for profiles), OnCall, Application Observability and a lot more. Most of our work is open source as AGPL or Apache2. Most work is Go, JavaScript, but there's also eBPF, C, Python, and Java in some areas.

We are looking for backend engineers to work on the distributed databases Mimir and Loki. The Mimir role is within the Americas time zone as the on-call hours align to daylight hours, so we are global remote but hire to make on-call healthy and balanced. The Loki role is within EMEA timezones. Those are the roles in my area, and I'm writing the post :D but there are more roles open.

The Eng Director role is within EMEA timezones.

The Security Director role is US timezones, and for this specific role you must be a US citizen.

You can find more information about these and other roles on our website https://grafana.com/about/careers/open-positions/
Fake Surgeries Are Securities Fraud
When they say the prison cells would ideally be eliminated, they're not talking about a magical society in which rape and murderer no longer happen. They're talking about releasing rapists and murderers without locking them up. That's the ideal they're striving for.
I don't think it's a coincidence that this came a day after a pretty scathing op-ed from two students in The Crimson. They laid out the specific argument, one that I find hard to dismiss, that the president of Harvard needs to meet or exceed the standards students at Harvard are held to.

Her presidency was simply untenable.
Show HN: Better Seater – Wedding seating chart optimizer
Is anyone having a big wedding reception/event with assigned seating soon? Or know anyone who will?

I've been working on a tool to optimize seating charts for assigned seat events, such as weddings. I'm hoping this site will save people enough time and stress, to charge for the service for larger events.

At the moment, there's no login required, and the service saves no data.

Why?
* Save time, rearranging people automatically
* Help with politics of large gatherings
* Try moving people and quickly seeing how everything shakes out

Currently, it will try to optimize for:
* Keeping groups together as much as possible
* Use fewer total tables
* Keep people either together or apart, as indicated

Current Capabilities:
* Import guest list/table capacity information from Excel file (there's a template)
* Generate fake guest list to play around
* Dragging people to different tables and reoptimize
* Selecting sets of people who you want to keep together or apart
* Locking people to certain tables
* Edit history

On roadmap:
* Prioritizing people to seat at "better tables" (VIPs, close family, etc)
* Rearranging tables visually

What do you all think? Is this valuable? How's the UX?

I haven't come up with a great name for it yet, so naming it "Better Seater" for now.

All feedback and suggestions welcome and appreciated! Let me know what would be useful for you!

Hi! I'm a motivated software engineer with 2 years of experience. I've been a contractor at a major pharma company, building up tooling around our internal scientific database and doing some data analysis on the science side while I was there. Later, I was with a smaller fintech company and built out the VS Code language support for an internal scripting/templating language—this was all done in OCaml.

I'd love to work on software whose target audience is other developers. I'm very interested in programming languages, compilers, OS/systems programming, databases, and back-end work in general, but happy to stretch to front-end or (if a position calls for it) software eng/data analysis that's closer to the natural sciences.
