That's an interesting way to frame the reddit debacle. Reddit could have mandated ads to be displayed as a part of their TOS of API usage, but just decided not to - for the clear reason of centralizing users to their app. It wasn't /just/ about the loss of revenue - it was also about the metrics they can collect on their platform which they could not do on others'.
It's remote within country, correct? Belgium wouldn't work, for example?

PCI:DSS Tier 1 is difficult to get and keep.

But everyone here is missing the point of it, it's not to make sure you never get breached it's to ensure forensics exist that cannot be tampered with.

Separation of concerns to keep any single party from within the company from doing anything fraudulent or for an attacker to cover any tracks.

It's not intended at all to be any kind of security by itself outside of the damage an employee can do. Bad code exists and PCI will do nothing to prevent this, because that's not the purpose of the compliance.

OT: Anyone have a more useful link to the Apache Foundation's statement?

All the links to the other statements in the article go to the sites of the organizations they are quoting, but the one for the Apache Foundation goes to something called sandbox-pad.webm.ink.

That just gives me an error dialog in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that says "sframe-boot.js must only be loaded in a nested context" then a shield with a keyhole image fads in over it along with "Loading..." text, and nothing more happens (at least in the 30 minutes I've had that tab open).

> the watchdogs in at least 3 countries (France, Italy, Germany) are extremely helpful in navigating regulations

This is a bad dependency to have. For example, for the new EU medical device regulation, IVDR, a lot of the regulatory infrastructure just isn't ready[0], and many bodies are bowing out due to the complexity. Ironically, the British Standards Institute is one of the few notified bodies to take it on!

And that's medical devices, which are a tighter form of software. Regulating software in general seems like a very difficult task.

Something people should understand about pasta is there are two types: "fresh" egg pasta and macaroni pasta. You can make the former at home but you can't really make the latter. The latter are made with special bronze dies and big industrial machines. Macaroni pasta is always dried, but you can dry "fresh" pasta too.

Fresh pasta and macaroni pasta are both good for different things. One doesn't replace the other.

Pandoc is the FFmpeg of document conversion!

While I am very fond of both tools, Pandoc's command-line interface seamlessly integrates with my understanding and intuition, unlike FFmpeg's byzantine command line options and concepts. With FFmpeg, I frequently find myself documenting specific incantations and recipes in my notes, lest I should forget how to solve certain conversion problems. Pandoc, on the other hand, has spared me from such cognitive overload.

This should not be taken as criticism of FFmpeg though. FFmpeg is solving very complex problems too. Both Pandoc and FFmpeg are excellent tools. Both tools have saved me hundreds of hours of research, experimentation, trial and error, etc.
tl;dr

I know that some people have questions about how we benefit from open sourcing the results of our research and large amounts of compute, so I thought it might be useful to lay out the strategic benefits here. The short version is that open sourcing improves our models, and because there's still significant work to turn our models into products, because there will be other open source models available anyway, we find that there are mostly advantages to being the open source leader and it doesn't remove differentiation from our products much anyway.

I think people very often don't know what they want, and at least for data science there is this weird thinking that exists that you are either a data scientist or a developer. When in reality the good data scientists also have good dev skills.

We are talking about decoding here. You meant decoder? I can certainly see the hardware decoder being busy in task manager.

The sheer fact that I can't differentiate between "Has ads, and you can pay to get rid of them" and "Has 15 different currencies that make the game no fun unless you pay a fortune" in the Play store is proof that Google don't want to promote good business practices.
How many passes it is irrelevant. You can perform any computation you like in a single pass if you have enough compute time.

Trained transformers have limited computer time per token so each query is compute limited, but this is trivially increased, by increasing tokens, or by increasing dimensions in the next training round so that each token permits more compute time.

A forward pass is not one big equation and I have no clue who you think it is. It's a series of computations, computations that depends on the query awaiting prediction. It's not even the same series of computations for each query because not all neurons are getting activated period and even when the same neurons get activated, they are not necessarily getting activated in the same way.
What type of "setup" are you talking about? Servers or home use?

I've been working with video transcoding/broadcasts a lot and software decoding was still worth it in large amount of cases - mostly because the CPUs these days (threadrippers & co) can handle significantly more concurrent encodes than the HW decoders.

HW decoders are built to play video on your PC so you can watch a movie and usually don't supoprt all that many concurrent streams and aren't all that fast (they "just" need to be realtime, after all). That's amazing on playback devices (pretty much mandatory for H.265/AV1), but for "2U racks at Amazon" that's not very useful and large cored CPUs are still kings. Especially since software encdoders are still massively winning on visual quality per second per MB of video.

(Why am I talking about servers? Because this thread has started with AWS 2U video racks, not Apple TV boxes.)
Systems (or vendor) apps also have to predefine permissions in their manifest, so not every system app can do everything.
But the list of permissions accessible by those apps is so broad they can effectively have root, as long as you define enough of them as developer
Ritualistic hazing of newcomers is a large part of american "frat" culture.

What the parent is likely referring to is: Things like "Wearing the noogler hat" or the hoops you jump through in interview (that have nothing to do with the job) are similar in spirit to some university fraternities admission processes, or are depicted as such in media.
Perception, yes. Being on top of the CPI tells nothing about how well the country is doing. It merely highlights how bad the situation is even for the runner-up.
Homemade pasta tastes better than the 99 cents per pound stuff you see at the super market. I don't know what "artisan" brands are, but as a baseline, check out pasta di gragnano (IGP). With minimal effort, ingredients (flour + water and/or eggs) and no special equipment, you can match the quality of this at home, for sure. Although, it's worth noting that fresh and dried pasta taste different. I think most people would prefer fresh pasta, but it is way more expensive to buy, if you can even find it at your super market.

After that, you can get into special flours, paying super close attention to hydration, simple or complex tools that make shapes easier, dehydrators to dry and store your pasta, and really hone the craft.

>It’s definitely more delicious but at 4x-8x the time cost.

Fresh pasta freezes pretty well, you can easily do a month at a time.

But sure, if time is of the essence, can't compete with opening a box. However, I'm not even sure they should be considered the same food; fresh pasta can be (should be?) eaten hardly cooked, with a bit of seasoning and oil.
That could be selection bias. Not something that the telcos did.

Many of these scams are run out of India and Nigeria. They teach English as a second language fairly young. That lets them cheaply target English speaking countries. I am not saying it is because of that but if I was running a scam center (I am already looking for 'the easy way') I am not targeting something where the pool of people I draw from need to know another language. One scambaiting call I watched they had gave the person running the scam had a laptop from about 10 years ago with 4GB of RAM and a very low spec processor. In other words cheap and easy to get. Low monetary risk with high monetary reward.

The core issue is the system allows spoofing and poor verification of who is getting blocks of numbers. Also low enforcement of laws in originating countries. The laws actually force the telcos to sort of do this too. As they in many cases must route. But the reality is we have bad actors that we do not want to route. But that same tool to not route could be used for reasons like what many tech companies currently use to get rid of people they do not like for whatever reason.
Organized crime happens in all countries my friend. From Italy to the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Australia, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, everyone has some organized crime. If you deny your country has organized crime, they have gotten really good at bribing and hiding it.

You do make a fair point that makes me reconsider this more.

However I think drugging someone is where you edge away from the concept of motivation into something else. But then it’s like is giving me a sulfonylurea motivating my pancreas to release a bit more insulin? Kind of, I think?

Maybe if you’re doing something that produces an involuntary and uncontrollable physical reaction, you can’t describe that as motivation? I’m not set on that though.
I'd use leanpub markdown. They generate those formats plus you get a page for the book, can charge for it, and advertise it. (Some of those tasks cost money).

Tell HN: If the universe can be simulated, it doesn't have to be
Imagine the universe and everything in it—including stars, planets, and every event that happens—can be described by mathematical equations. Now, if it's possible to input all the universe's rules into a giant cosmic computer and run a simulation, then everything that can happen in the universe, from the beginning of time to the end, could be predicted by the computer.

But here's the twist: if we can simulate the universe this way, it means that all possible outcomes and events are already defined by these mathematical rules. They exist in the realm of mathematics, whether or not we actually run the simulation. In other words, running the simulation doesn't "create" these events; it merely reveals what's already predetermined by the mathematical structure of the universe.

So, if the universe can be simulated, you don't actually need to run the simulation to make the universe real. Everything that happens is just the unfolding of mathematical possibilities that already "exist" in a way, independent of any simulation. This suggests that asking whether we are living in a simulation or not is irrelevant because our experiences and the universe's existence don't depend on the simulation being actively run by someone or something.

If you live in the EU it is hard to move. You have to find a country that will let you in. Most countries restrict immigration and so you are likely to only file a country that is dangerous to live in. You also leave your friends and extended family behind, which is difficult.

That assumes it is your company to move in the first place. Which is unlikely. So add find a new job to the list of things you need to do.
Ubuntu 18.04 isn't supported anymore. When I first wrote this I thought there was another couple of months, but then I saw 2023. We're in 2024.

Not sure of the uproar if that is the case.
Couple issues. 1) The figures are only mentions in a relatively limited comparison mode, so a percent is only "vaguely" valid. 2) The percent implies "sidedness," yet I really was looking at this from both lists, where the ratio's important no matter which side you're on. Need workers, skill alignment in resumes you get is an issue. Need a job, skill alignment in the people asking's an issue.
Nice. Next, if they could show off better aesthetics and cool animations, it would add much more.

It looks like this team gave us everything we need to reproduce their models, the actual artifacts needed to reproduce it. As far as I can tell, they share the data and every step along the way to final model...not just describing what they did.
Eh, calling an embedded web-view a 'screet google browser' smells a bit clickbait'ish.

In situations where it bypasses things like parental control its fair to bring it up as an issue, but it's not exactly a 'vulnerability' in the way a vulnerability is commonly understood

Everything takes a long time when you have no experience. Once you have a recipe and process, making pasta is actually pretty easy. Not something you're going to do after a long day of work, necessarily, but certainly not hours of work.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:

• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)

• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)

• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, data viz, multimedia/video)

My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or technical leadership.

For small to medium applications — such as an MVP for a startup, a UI for a hardware product, or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.

I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more technical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.
Thanks!I really couldn't recognise it was this construction here!

Beyond Software Best Practices: Why I Prefer "Leading Practices"
When my band toured and we could afford two hotel rooms, the singer would get one room and the rest of us would take the other. He was by far the loudest snorer of the 5 of us.
Obviously just a funny anecdote but definitely not always the case that singers are the quiet sleepers. Or maybe he just needed more singing lessons.

The "that's another internal team" reply was presumably more about bounty than vulnerability itself. Still, my contrarian take: support - whether external customers or internal stakeholders - is a game of hot potato: first person that fails to forward it to someone else will get burned.

It would be great if everyone was happy to drop whatever they're doing and lead resolution of customer's complaint, regardless of who the actual empowered/responsible person/team is. Alas, we live in the world where most people subscribe to Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics. In this world, even forwarding a request to those responsible is dangerous. Anything more than that entangles you with the problem, meaning you'll be held responsible for it, no matter your actual connection to it.

We can call it "principal-agent problem", or just "survival in the world where requesters are hunting for anyone willing to engage with their requests".

(Source: I used to be the one willing to handle any internal request even tangentially related to my work, until my line manager told me to ask requesters for project ID or billing code before giving any help that requires more than 1 minute, because otherwise I'll end up doing none of the work we're actually being paid for.)

The path to diagnosis was around 30 years ago when they started having seizures. It took approx 3 years or so to identify it and again, only by luck given our proximity to a major cardiac centre. I wonder whether something like the Apple Watch EKG could identify it today such that it could alert people that they should go for confirmation by a cardiologist?

I don’t think you need a hot climate for that. Most surfaces absorb a lot more energy from sunlight than air does, making them hotter than air temperature.

yes, locally.

THinking about it, if you're going to make this - then make it do a summarization of the chat thread at the end, then dump the summary with then a link to searching the thread - so if you look up a topic, it will first give you the summary of the thread's content.

Then, you can ask it "tell me the gist of the chats I have had, and have it give a high level summary of the topics of each thread's summary's topics...

So it would reply like:

You've talked about X, y and Z in the past week, mostly related to [topic] you seemed to grasp the most about [topicX] and had the most questions about [topicY]

which thread to revisit?

Create a new thread merging the topics together, etc so you can merge bodies of learning that you have in your chats and keep the original threads/chats.
