Based on this comment 5 days ago[0], it's working? I'm not sure didn't dig in too far but based on that comment it seems fair to say that it's not fully Poetry's fault because torch removed hashes (which poetry needs to be effective) for a while only recently adding it back in.

Not sure where I would stand if I fully investigated it tho.

I mean, stealing is always easier than paying for something.
The content diaspora to other services has made Netflix tremendously less appealing; just par for the course as Netflix tries their hardest to lose me as a customer. I just had a support chat with them Friday because my kid has been in the hospital for several weeks after being hit by a car. Since they haven’t been home, Netflix has decided they’re no longer part of the household and we have to manually reauthenticate every two weeks or chip in another $8/mo for their own account. (I asked them point blank, “is it the official position of Netflix that a hospitalized patient is no longer part of a household?” and they just said “the policy applies to all devices”.) I’ve been using Netflix since it was a mail-order DVD rental service…but at this point they’ve sold me on their new most popular plan: cancelling.
Gotcha. I guess I see it more as an alternative rather than a modern evolution. I don't particularly like the direction of these SDKs, but I see an increasing demand for them.

It's not a convincing or complete explanation though. Why go so high, when other machines of the time were using 36 bits? And if they saved money by not going up to 64, why not go down to 48 for example?
The liability for making a simple honest mistake is greatly overstated. In most cases the IRS sends you a letter explaining the mistake and asks you to send the additional payment (or sends you the additional refund) and if you address it in a timely manner there’s no penalty or anything.

The meme about “oh I forgot to carry the one now I’m going to jail” is just Internet hyperbole.

You don't need one, because Ruby dependency management isn't a clusterf#!k like Python's.
+1 for your invocation of eldritch gods :)

I know what you're saying, there is undoubtedly a complexity angle too, not all of it is malice. But after a while, one starts noticing the pattern (or maybe it is just me) that Safari has a holier-than-thou attitude towards standards. Their way of standardization is - I'll just go ahead and do something my own way, and then rest will just follow suit because I have so much market share.

Which isn't, as you say, far from Chrome's actions in theory. But in practice, the feeling I've been getting recently is that more Chrome is happy to accommodate. Safari seems to (intentionally or culturally) drag its feet a lot more in picking up stuff that has been ratified.
Note that you can also accomplish the same with pip using the tilde operator in your requirements.txt (e.g. Django~=4.0), and Constraints Files [1] for the subdependencies.

A multistage build is still recommended as building your dependencies might need gcc or other tools.

No ads used to be the main selling point of cable, decades ago, which goes to show that advertising is a cancer and will thoroughly corrupt and consume every communication medium over time.
I agree. Protecting against DDoS attacks is incredibly difficult. I'm just enjoying the irony of Def Con, the premiere computer security and hacking convention, not being able to handle traffic.

To be fair, I don't think they crashed; I saw a "sorry too much traffic try later" type message. Still amuses me.
I guess that depends on habits and preferences, but I much prefer my sturdy reusable bags over the basic plastic bags.

Sure I do sometimes forget to bring my reusable bags, but even environmental reasons aside I hate plastic bags. It makes it harder to carry groceries, where you might have 10-20 bags instead of two big solid bags. They also frequently rip, so you have to pick stuff up and your groceries gets damaged. Then you have to toss all of them (or store them somewhere "in case" where you end up with 100s of them).
"And the maximum size of an IP packet is 16 bit (via the IPv4 total length / IPv6 payload length). And that is now our limiting factor: 65536 bytes for DNS overhead + payload."

While they conclude the right size, this is incorrect. They seem to overlook that TCP DNS header has its own 2 byte length field (it's a 14 byte header). That is the limiting factor, nothing to do with the lower layers. If the DNS message itself is over 65514 it will require multiple IP packets due to TCP overhead and in practice MTU sizes are almost never over 9000 and usually <1500, so it's going to be split up at much lower sizes.

"'What about jumbo frames?' That doesn't really buy us anything, either, because TCP itself is also limited to 16 bits, albeit semi-indirectly via the 16-bit urgent pointer"

This isn't correct either. The urgent pointer (it's own can of worms) is completely ignored in non URG packets.
I work with strongly typed compiled languages (well others as well but that's not the point). If I need change / compile / run iterations slow builds are a big time waster.

Maybe it's me but consider the content on these streaming platforms which seem to me as a mix of syndicated shows and romantic action films. Where exactly people find value in tv tropes and expensive camera work is something only the producers in Hollywood can answer, pirating is a means to an end and by that I mean, most of it is so shit that it's not worth the price on the label to do the reasonable thing and pay for it.

Thats not true in even the most trivial sense. But the rise of piracy correlates strongly to not cost, but availability.

As well as track and list the IP / location and time of when previous accesses occurred. Sign in and see someone not on the list? Have a link that sends to identity fraud at the FBI or whatever's the correct place.

They could also hide the exact details and just name the banks / holdings places and other things involved and you could confirm that there aren't any other details or make corrections.
Yet another database built on ByteKV. Back then when I was in ByteDance, all infrastructure were more or less using ByteKV for data and metadata storage.

Here here. I love Cliff and have my own Acme Klein bottle, a wedding present from my wife.

I read the book ages ago of course, but I just discovered the NOVA documentary last week. It's quite amazing to see the original people involved recreating events just a few years after they took place (docu was released in 1990). So... I can't believe Cliff's wife agreed to do a shower scene as part of a recreation for the documentary... Just sayin.

Well this approach (the part about not listing the shows/movies carried) worked just fine back in ~2012 when Netflix had pretty much everything.

These days... not so much.

Mechanistic interpretability studies a bunch of things though. Like, the mixtral paper where they show the routing activations is mechanistic interpretability. That sort of feature visualization stuff is good. I don't know what % of the field is spending their time on trying to interpret the models in a way that involves higher level, human can explain, approximating the following code type work though? I'm certainly not the only one who thinks it's a waste of time, I don't believe anything I've said in this thread is original in any way.

I... don't know if the people involved in that specific stuff have really grokked they are working in high dimensional space? A lot of otherwise smart people work in macroeconomics, where for decades they haven't really made any progress because it's so complex. It seems stupid to suggest a whole field of smart people don't realize what they are up against, but sheesh it kinda seems that way doesn't it? Maybe I'll be eating my words in 10 years.

A few years ago, I wasn’t surprised to hear rumors of a study of the nation’s prison population which reportedly found that the leading civilian occupation among inmates before they were put behind bars was “cook.” As most of us in the restaurant business know, there is a powerful strain of criminality in the industry, ranging from the dope-dealing busboy with beeper and cell phone to the restaurant owner who has two sets of accounting books.

I spent quite a few formative years working in food service/kitchen jobs and this is definitely something I noticed. I came up with a theory as to why, which I think is largely still true:

Preparing food is a “fast loop” activity. By this I mean that the amount of time it takes to go from putting in work to seeing a reward is fairly short, often only a few minutes. You see the efforts of your labor quickly, without needing to conceptualize the idea of receiving a reward at some unknown point in the future.

This makes it ideal for those with short attention spans, the type of people that do eat the marshmallow instead of waiting for a greater reward. [1.]

Awesome description of really fundamental issues. It takes a lot experience to come to these kind of conclusions and people who haven't dug deeply into large enough code bases will never really believe it until they see it, and even then it can take a few rounds. So the config layer complexity keeps coming back while naive but well intentioned folks are striving in earnest for simplicity. It's tricky to argue the point also because either POV can sound like best practice, and decisive action in one direction also doesn't have effects that are immediately visible. It's a pretty long game to see what works best and we never feel the pain that we manage to dodge.

Next Year's DEFCON Keynote... "How We Hacked Caesar's Booking System"
Thanks for the context. I'd recently tried reading GEB but couldn't get into it much since I already knew the formal version of the concepts it discusses about. I also have experience of an earlier time when expert knowledge was much less accessible, and where I treasured books like this that tried to compress every ambition within them, since they brought a lot of threads for further edification together in them.
I work at a large lab and probably could have made something happen. But yes, it's great that they sent this out to the HAMs. Was happy to see that some people managed to capture the signal
That is exactly what Hulu tried to be initially.

Ask HN: What's a good terminology for a universal resource specifications?
I’ve come across a concept for a unified layer of specifications that encompasses infrastructure definitions that map 1:1 to the actual resources being provisioned by the different providers (such as Kubernetes, public/private clouds, etc). It also includes operational tasks, deployment topology requirements and such. Basically it’s a generated/rendered manifest that captures all the operational intent for a given application from some sort of template. What’s a good choice of terminology to use for that concept?
My current favorites are “spec”, “provision” or “manifest”.
I can't recommend The Selfish Gene enough. I wish it was mandatory reading in school or something. Contrary to GEB it is very accessible and a phenomenal introduction to the theory of evolution. It gets a point across, school books don't.

However, Richard Dawkins has become a very detestable person, cringeworthy culture warrior, rage beneficiary. So, make what you want with that info. Maybe consider a library or pirate the audio book.
Burn onto CD-R and then print a logo with a URL [or QR code, pointing to URL of CD contents]?

No, you don't understand how Gore-Tex is made.

Gore-Tex is a PTFE membrane laminated one side of a fabric.

The other side of the fabric is coated with a DWR (durable water repellent) coating.

The DWR finish prevents the outer fabric from being saturated with water.

The DWR is not made from PTFE and historical has contained PFAS compounds.

It is not a permanent finish, so it definitely ends up in the environment.
Of course, a robust and easily-scaled infrastructure is pretty easy to rent these days...

... if you're willing to trust another company with your data.
I'm sure you yourself can come up with counter-examples for that.
> It's not an assumption, it's a requirement.

Where is this requirement? A DNS server responding over a TCP socket has no idea of the underlying IP datagram size. In a typical Ethernet, the TCP MSS will be 1460 bytes so the IP packets will all be under 1500 bytes. You certainly can get regular TCP DNS responses bigger than 1460 bytes.
See elsewhere in this thread, "legacy" RFC1035 DNS over TCP has a 16-bit message prefix which limits the total DNS message to 64kiB.
A valid maximum DNS TCP response can exceed (the almost entirely theoretical) max IP packet size by 22 bytes, FWIW.
>"Every streaming service will converge to what cable TV is like: paid channels, maximum amount of ads, additional premium content, attempts at lock-in, exclusive licensing of content, etc."

I am more than willing to pay for content subscription assuming they have everything under one roof and no ads. Pay for cable like service - fuck it. I'd rather watch the paint dry.
Yes. I feel like people often solely focus on CO2 emissions as the only metric. Especially some detractors of ecological pushes and regulations. Like "it doesn't really decrease CO2 output, so what the point", or "it's such a tiny fraction compared to X industry of Y country, and such an inconvenience so what's the point". I just don't understand how producing less stuff whose sole objective is to end up, in the best case, directly in landfill, is bad
I'm surprised any hacker of any standing would want to give the corrupt state of Nevada any tax money whatsoever.
Wacky Wheels was 94. Tomb Raider was DOS, but it's sequel was Windows-only. Red Alert was enhanced on Windows (4x resolution, DOS was stuck on 320x200). Duke3D and the rest of the Build engine pack got left behind on DOS but they also ran acceptably well under Windows in spite of that. Carmageddon had both DOS and Windows executables, Carmageddon 2 was Windows-only.

It simply became impractical to drop to DOS by the late 90s. Once I got broadband in 2000, DOS was a memory.
> why pay for 8 different services and have to waste your time figuring out whats on what

Both my streaming boxes (Amazon Fire Stick and Xfinity Flex) handle that for me. I press the mic button on the remote, say what I'm looking for, and they tell me my options. Typically that means they tell me which paid services it is on (Netflix, Max, Peacock, etc) and offer to launch the app for that service, which free with ads services it is on (such as Pluto or Freevee), and show my options to buy or rent it.
I totally agree but haven’t figured out how to crack this yet.

>I’ve stopped looking for product opportunities. Now I look for distribution.

Can you elaborate?
I made up a list of favorite pieces (that also happen to be piano pieces, or have piano reductions) and just made a subset of the ones in the more relaxing vein. You will probably enjoy the orchestral versions.

YMMV, of course, and some composers wrote so much that I haven’t gone through their works yet. I’ll make a new paste when I update it, now that I made the first version. Pieces that get a bit loud in places are called out.

I've been doing some extensive searching for a particular topic for months using primarily Google, and I just found a bunch of sites that I had not previously found just running one query on this.

I think that as with ChatGPT vs Bard, the result space is so huge, there are going to be many strength/weakness tradeoffs for any given query.
There was a time we solved that problem by... Not having taxes be considered sensitive information.

At the inception of the federal tax, the federal government didn't have enough agents to enforce it. So they actually made the filings public so that people could police each other... You'd be able to see your neighbor claiming poverty when you knew they owned twenty acres and sic the fuzz on them.

Something to be said for not letting people do their finances in the dark...
> for some reason

To avoid any legal liability. Stating a specific reason would open them to possible "breach of contract" depending on whether the act(s) were significant enough or justifiable, based on the contract terms. Just say nothing, part amicably, everyone moves on without drama.

With that said, they probably weren't lying. Most likely, months after ponying up $10 million to a sophisticated international hacking group, Caesars Entertainment probably doesn't want to invite some of the world's best hackers to stay and meet at its flagship resort.
