First time encountering WolframAlpha public web interface; a combination of programming language and LLM [1], if I understand correctly!?

> The Wolfram Language natural language processing functionality is a combination of rule-based and machine learning language models, including LLMs. It builds on top of advanced text mining and string manipulation capabilities and is integrated with a large visualization suite and extensive built-in linguistic data.

Also appreciate the question/prompt/command (!?) being encoded in the url.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm annoyed that it's now a problem for people when it applies to porn. I've been avoiding services that want pictures of my passport and selfies for years now. It was never OK.
Hello from socialist Sweden. For generations we have looked to the government to solve a lot of our problems. Can't remember any mental illness epidemic when I was a teen though.

Juniper has no cohesion in their product offering, so fits well with HPE who also fail in this regard. They had all the pieces, ex/qfx/srx/128t/mist/aapstra/mx/ptx to build any network you needed, but no ability to fully integrate all of the things. Surprising that HPE acquires them considering they already competitors across half of those things procurve/silverpeak/aruba/plexxi.
Fair enough. If you ever do decide to touch it to address that, I suggest (in preference order):

- Subclassing ProcessPoolExecutor such that it spawns multiprocessing.Process objects whose runloop function wraps the stdlib "_process_worker" function in a try/finally which runs your at-shutdown logic. That'll be as reliable as any try/finally (e.g. SIGKILL and certain interpreter faults can bypass it).

- Writing custom destructors of objects in your call arguments which are aware of and can do appropriate cleanup actions for associated SharedMemory objects. This is less preferred than subclassing because of the usual issues with custom destructors: no real exception handling, and objects sneaking out into long-lived/global caches can cause destructors to run late (after the interpreter has torn down things your cleanup logic needs) or not at all.

- Atexit, as you suggest. This is least-preferred because the execution context of atexit code is .... weird, to say the least. Much like a signal handler or pthread_atfork callback, it's not a place that I'd put code that does complicated I/O or depends on the rest of the interpreter being in ordinary conditions.
Sure, but not all of them do. There are some that weren't grounded and have continued to be in use.

You can rack up a lot more track time a lot more cheaply even if you do have access to tracks. I used to, it's great.

I guess three clues:

* They were just trolling Firebase accounts for anything left open, and the first hit was a company that works with a bunch of American fast food chains. That doesn't require OP to live in the US.

* They specified "America's fast food chains"; someone living in the US probably wouldn't qualify it with "America's".

* They used a $DAY/$MONTH date format, which is uncommon in the US.
In big companies, sometimes the only way to make this happen is by making the tool mandatory.

The DMARC industry is nuts. Most services charge a lot for what amounts to retrieving emails and doing a little XML parsing. It’s mostly transient data too, so it’s not like paying for a ton of redundancy is worth it.

IMHO, they’ve taken something that should be simple and turned it into a complex system that needs a ton of infrastructure because they all want a SaaS business. Everyone pays for the cost of scaling when simple sharding would do for most users.

I’d love to have a simple, self hosted DMARC analyzer running on something like PocketBase.

> Musk has said a lot of things about companies he is involved with that later turn out to be untrue.

Funny how putting forth lots of contrarian red tape after and because someone has made all the claims and promises has a way of doing that.
5G (and 4G before it) has more spectrum allocated at higher and lower frequencies. If your carrier has licenses for low frequency and deploys it, it should help a bit with coverage.
This is a pretty neat device. I think they might be more successful if they targeted the anti-smartphone crowd, but I can see why they would want to chase the bigger market.

Lyu hit the nail on the head when he said that smartphones are mostly for entertainment/wasting time these days. I definitely know of friends who want to (or try to) go smartphone free, but the apps mentioned in the keynote make it a large inconvenience. A $200 device that offers much of the convenience of a smartphone without the distraction sounds like a good fit for that crowd.
The hubris of software engineers never ceases to amaze me. I'm not trying to scare you here, I am just gently suggesting that you might not have the capacity to provide this as a public service. Keep using it for your projects if it works for you, maybe wrap it in a docker container for other people to deploy on their own if they so want.

Side note, I just tested a curl command with

-d '{"key": {"$regex": ".*"}, "value": "..."}'

and it went through, updating the already existing first key in the collection, so you're not even sanitizing your inputs - there's likely some Mongo lookup code that will enumerate the existing collections, or overwrite someone else's data, or possibly read all of it, I am not going to continue with the probing (are you sanitizing the api key?). You can either assume good faith from all your users, or open the API to the internet, but definitely not both.

Most SQL RDBMS are a materialised view over a transaction log.
If we had a proper data version control, wherein the git commit hash was tied directly to the output data hash and hosted on IPFS (and the make system checked ipfs like it does local files for the cache) then it would be absolutely reproducible.

And the wonderful thing is, every person that used git clone on this repo and ran it would be serving the NN weights.

But alas, this unfortunately hasn't been done yet.
The way the dates were written should be an indication that they aren't in the US.
Please describe ‘easily unsubscribe’ - subjective terms like this don’t work when you’re dealing with the profit focused marking department of scumcorp.

I don’t want to log into your service or explain why I want to unsubscribe or chose which mailing lists I want to unsubscribe from (read: All of them) nor do I want to deal with your dark patterns such as colouring the ‘cancel my request to unsubscribe’ button green and ‘yes really unsubscribe me’ red.
One of the bigger difficulties with coming to terms with LLMs is that we are either far simpler and easy to model than we once thought, or LLMs are vastly more complex than we comprehend. I am not sure I like either.
I've seen religious zealots who are less adamant than some of the RISC-V fans. Do people really self-identify with an instruction set architecture so strongly?
What should I be using shell history for? I've never wanted to go back in my history but obviously people are getting a lot of value from it.
This conference realignment is obviously a bad outcome. The leaders of the universities and American academia are delivering very poor results: education is too expensive, academic freedom is limited by outsiders, and now this. What good do the conference realignments do for anyone? Who is happy or better off?

The Big 10, in particular, used to be both an athletic association and an academic one, sharing resources between their members, (almost) all AAU members (leading research universities). This year they had the chance to add Stanford and Cal to the academic association, and share their resources. And they turned them down, because the Bay Area college football market isn't big enough. The story I read said Fox Sports, the Big 10's main broadcast partner, made the decision. They had the chance to add Stanford and Cal to their academic association, and said no - if you restrict yourself to universities which compete in major college sports, you will never get a better opportunity.

For generations, college football avoided this absurdity. Long ago, maybe eight years ago, there was a crazy notion of people working together, cooperating for a greater good. Why do that? Because it was good, and because they could accomplish more by working together than by acting in anarchy. People now embrace law-of-the-jungle anarchy like it's a rebellious trend, instead of just well-established idiocy. The NCAA members could work together to make it better; they could arrange conferences so that they work for everyone, without students flying across the country; but what was the norm for generations is now so obviously absurd that people roll their eyes at me.

The free option can cost a lot.

From Eva’s post:

> we didnt know much about firebase at the time so we simply tried to find a tool to see if it was vulnerable to something obvious and we found firepwn, which seemed nice for a GUI tool, so we simply entered the details of chattr's firebase

Genuinely curious (I’ve no infosec experience), wouldn’t there be a risk that a tool like this could phone home and log everything you find while doing research?
I’m guessing that you grossly underestimate the academic support for athletes.

1. Most athletes take fewer and easier classes during their season, or the main part of their season. Missing credit hours can be made up for during the summer, which sometimes have easier classes.

2. Many athletes take easier majors in general.

3. Athletes have access to free tutors. Sometimes these tutors help, sometimes they help a lot, sometimes they just do the work for the athlete. I imagine that the ethics line is adhered to a bit more frequently at places like Cal and Stanford, but sometimes it’s a blurry line.

4. Athletic departments and athletes know which majors and which professors are easy to deal with for things like travel and workload. Word gets around.

Of all the things to worry about, the academic side for the athlete would be the least of my worries.
History can also contain potentially sensitive things like hostnames of non-public systems, usernames, filenames, URLs. I would not want that stuff to hang around indefinitely.
What do you have in the history that’s sensitive? Keys, passwords should not be in shell history anyways (e.g. I delete them from bash history if I enter by mistake)

right but I want a resource that will get me from 0 to 10 much faster. Like a set of 20 problems I can troubleshoot designed to help me learn quickly.

The reason why learning something likely calculus is so straight forward is because you can just do tons of problem sets and eventually you develop the instinct for it which by default comes with understanding. I want the same thing for networking. Problem sets is the key. I guess this is a start up idea.
> society has been this way from way Before the mental illness epidemic.

Definitely agree.

> Evidence points to the fact that the structure of society is not causative of a new trend we are seeing.

Trends can't exist without metrics. What's recent are the observations of the behaviors and new politics and moved goalposts, not the behaviors themselves.
I think part of the explanation is that gpt4 is much more expensive than papago
Senders will need to implement a single-click unsubscribe link within emails if they haven’t already, to allow recipients to easily opt out.

It does in the article. The industry has clear definitions for things like one click unsubscribe versus two click confirmation.
> What's different about sperm-cells is you would expect an "every man for himself"

You could expect that if each of them were an individual. Are they? One could say that all sperm-cells in a single ejaculation are part of the same single man.

Therefore the principle still holds, but it could be re-phrased as:

"Every sperm-cell for the donor-man"
When no one fixes it, "volunteers fix it" doesn't sound like a promising proposition. But sure. I suppose if someone wants to stick with it for reasons, they'll care to fix it.

To me, with the exception of maybe a few genres in electronic, music has never been so bland and boring as of the 2000’s. Decentralization has something to do with it, as people’s attention is heavily fragmented and mostly very few marketable artists are promoted enough to stick their head out of the water. Risk taking is now at a minimum-ever for recording labels.
yeah it was definitely a case of not wanting to spend a comparatively small amount of money on dev time to even look into it

it was obviously not network based as connection speed didn't seem to change the time required

No. Why would I? I was merely commenting on the "best textbook out there to learn modern networking."
IIUC, 2G and 3G both require a fairly sizable block of spectrum to operate. If you have three carriers all operating minimum width 2G service, it adds up. 5G has some sort of coexistance story with 4G so in the future when LTE is being killed, they can let it live a bit and only waste spectrum as its used.
College radio is the last bastion of reliably weird shit.

Find a station and listen at night. My local station WONC until some years ago had punk and metal shows after midnight which went through phases depending on who mainly ran those shows. The last gasp of the metal show was ~6 years of mostly European female-fronted orchestral metal occasionally taking forays into metal core, Gothenburg metal and screamo. Stuff these days you can explore to your heart's content on YouTube, but there is no assurance that what the algo turns up is any good.
I think it sucks to be a kid today. You learn too much too fast now, there’s no magic or wonder to life, no theorizing about how things work or asking someone, just google it or watch a TikTok. And sometimes what you learn is just plain wrong, but you may never truly know it.
> you can go to their office and they provide the printed form and a pen

Getting to a government office was historically a barrier. It still is in much of the world.

> there is a law mandating free access to government services

To be clear, I think this is a good thing. I just don't think it's reasonable to assume it to be true.

Was your carrier Three/EE? They were terrible.

I found in the UK most carriers 3G was horrid, and 4G actually worked. Vodafone best, second was Three, then O2. Circ early 2020s.
My parents bought me a GPS unit when I first moved away. While using it was convenient, I discovered that I did not actually learn to orient myself with respect to that city. It wasn't until my GPS unit was stolen and I had to go at it on my own that my mental map "snapped" into place.

That is one reason why I'm hesitant to use LLMs to the extent that so many have. If we don't use certain skills, we lose them. I learned this the hard way with French. In my teens, I was conversant in the language thanks to years of high school French and immersion. But, I didn't touch French again until my late thirties, and I forgot most of it. It hasn't been until recently that my French has surpassed the level I was at with it in my teens.
Social media is like that because a dopamine slot machine is about the best way to get people wired up ton stare at their phones all day, which it turns out is profitable for the people making the slot machine.
As someone who has 4 cousins and one brother that just went throught their teenage years:

Social media is definitely a factor. I was still in the generation where we had social media, but phones had no or very shitty cameras and mobile internet was too expensive for us teens. Some people didn't have phones, period.

But those kids have a constant comparison to ideals, especially the girls, be it their peers or celebrities. And if there is mobbing it is way, way worse than in my generation, because it is easier to have a true all against you situation (with many passive bystanders) and because it doesn't end when you are at home.
ARM is legacy because it predates the open ISA standard.

I am interested in this, even if it is based on legacy ISA ARM, as I would rather a hacker-friendly router designed for OpenWRT.

This is relative to some consumer device off the shelf which is hostile to OpenWRT, needing trickery to just install. That is what I had in my previous location, and I would prefer this instead.
As an IBM product, OS/2 was part of some very long support contracts with companies like banks that also had z/OS mainframes.

There was OS/2 in some ATMs well into the 2000s, but I don’t know when those might have been replaced.
The things you personally already know aren't more worthy of learning just by virtue that you personally happen to have learnt them already.

You're just sticking with what you know, calling out the others for not wanting to learn.

Not a nice attitude from where I'm at.
My feedback: keep the same style :)
The problem with HN folks is they think it's all about the gains.

Many hold ethereum and bitcoin because of the utility. It's a permissionless and portable store of value that you can 100% be in control of and not have to worry about your account being locked, funds being frozen, asset seizure, operational hours, etc.

This fact is not disputed by anyone. You can read the US reports on the resettlement here [1]. Wiki being Wiki sites a YouTube video from the Navy, but concludes the same [2]:

---

"The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, with the fall of Saigon to the People's Army of Vietnam and the subsequent evacuation of more than 130,000 Vietnamese closely associated with the United States or the former government of South Vietnam...

After the Saigon evacuation, the number of Vietnamese leaving their country remained relatively small until mid-1978. A number of factors contributed to the refugee crisis, including economic hardship and wars in Vietnam, China, and Cambodia. In addition, up to 300,000 people, especially those associated with the former government and military of South Vietnam, were sent to re-education camps, where many endured torture, starvation, and disease while being forced to perform hard labor."

I think the fact that this is true and well known(amongst those that could abuse it) is evidence that infosec, by and large, is overemphasized.
Yep I am talking about maybe a decade ago; google have fixed the issues I knew about but lots of systems still only limit v4 effectively.
Is Scandinavia poor and miserable?
It's mind blowing to me, as someone who's built a SAAS and then talked to customers and ultimately their CTOs and CDOs that KFC and co ended up using such a service, either they would isolate the level of data exposed to the service and trust them on their contract - and then ruin them in court, or they would require some kind of compliance like SOC2 which should at least mean the solution was pen tested, and any pen tester worth anything will immediately find firebase is part of the solution and immediately test access rules..

The fact that the company/CEO/cto seems to just get away with this is depressing, because why should anyone else? it's not good business sense to invest in security if there's no serious repercussions
Here are some of my often use cases: Long kunernetes commands, or ssh into an ip you don’t have remembered, curl commands when testing an api. Anything on the CLI that is long and either hard to remember or just annoying to type.

Actually Michael Jackson's every dose was prescribed, overseen and administered by a professional physician in good standing. Was it Michael Jackson's fault that the good doctor actually didn't care about his well-being?
Built something similar (though I've yet to get astound to the frontend for it--vaguely intend to borrow one).

I neither love nor hate it as a sync mechanism, but I ended up satisficing with storing the history in my dotfile repo, treating the sqlite db itself as an install-specific cache, and using sqlite exports with collision-resistant names for avoiding git conflicts.
