Ask HN: Paranoia question: ever asked to document a complete process
im not just talking a document/diagram for something small, but something that has been developed for several years and has end-user documentation already, but documentation about how it actually works at an org?

Does this kind of request give you paranoia?
Its worth mentioning that renote work is still a thing only in the US. In most other OECD countries (in Europe or Japan for example) it's all in-office with at most 1-2 days hybrid if you are lucky.
Many are switching to vaping these days, which produces far less odour, and what little there is dissipates quickly. Vapour also doesn't stick to fabrics, walls etc like smoke does - it's just superior to smoking in every way.
docker swarm also runs on many servers yet i've found its easier to deploy and manage. k8s is super complicated in comparison

You also have TIPS available, but I-bonds are better than TIPS (you can tell because I-bonds are limited per person, TIPS are not).

If you bought (or even buy) I-bonds at the right time, it can be a spectacularly good deal.
Depends where you look into, I have been pretty much Java and .NET since 2005 in what concerns Web development and backend infrastructure in distributed systems.
For now, yes, our network services are IPv4 only.
Not a novel one.
That's understandable. There is still a social stigma attached to it. Hopefully it will change over time.
Scientists scanning the seafloor discover a long-lost Stone Age 'megastructure'
Everything depends on infrastructure that releases a lot of carbon into the atmosphere: oil, cars, beef farming, etc. This is despite the fact that climate change is exacerbated by releasing carbon. No individual or company wants to be at a disadvantage by not using these things, so no one stops. It's a tragedy of the commons situation. It's only through government regulation and investment into cleaner energy that allowed the alternatives to become viable in the market.
looking at the stock market we can conclude that a taiwan invasion is deemed quite unlikely by investors.

They're only using 36% of that (so they have slack capacity). It's in-memory, which has some perf wins (though I'd question if distributed systems are worth it when you can get a PCIe splitter and just mmap some 4TB SSDs on whatever cheap desktop computer somebody has lying around).

100 bytes per file is less than you would expect to support all that data if you coded it "naturally" without an eye toward space efficiency. You'll need 16-32 bytes or so just to handle a tree structure with internal string indices to be able to support finding any given file's location quickly. Toss in created times, modified times, permissions, attributes, the fact that they have a chunking structure to support both random seek and efficient/easy allocation, .... It adds up to more than 100B if you're not pretty careful. They hit that 100B mark.

Is that impressive? I dunno. Their competitors didn't do it, and they did, so that's something.
That's a truly fantastic idea actually. I'd love to see that built into e-readers.

As well as when I pick back up reading after two weeks -- remind me everything that's happened so far? Where it gives a five-paragraph summary where the first paragraph is top-level covering the entire story so far, and the last paragraph is just about the previous few pages.

Not to mention with non-fiction -- highlight an acronym that was defined somewhere 28 pages ago and tell me what the heck it is again?!
The Gemini image fiasco as performance art
It's interesting. It suggests something about software:

- code should be obvious (and obvious about what it does), and where it lives

- tests should be obvious and should surface relevant critical work

- UI should also be 'inspectable from a distance', as in people should be able to glance at it, and grasp the gestalt of how to do what they need (within reason and up to the specific uniqueness of the application)
Yeah, but smoking indoors is forbidden in most of the Europe, so this is not an issue.
That's one of the perpetually-SciFi use cases of Augmented Reality: You're walking around with AR glasses and whenever someone comes into your field of view, your display hovers over them their name, their job, when you last talked to them, what their hobbies are, and so on. A huge privacy nightmare, but useful for people who can't recall names and details about people they've met.
How does it scale to such a large context window — is it publicly known, or is there some high-quality speculation out there that you recommend?
The lean mantra "Make work visible" is not only good at an organization level but also as professional feedback level. Although if used openly for promotions it will cease to be a good metric.
You can tell it's legit if they charge you $2 extra for a credit card instead of a bank transfer lol
I guess to be fair, I was also bearish on Nvidia when it hit $250. So probably would have been dealing with pain since I likely would have sold after those 50% gains.

Same thing with BTC. I tried to buy 20,000 in 2010. Was too much hassle back then so I gave up. But even if I went through with it. I would have sold the moment I turned $20 in $200. Much less hold past $500 or $1000.
Rationality is binary.

the very occurrence of speculative bubbles, (to be pedantic; where asset prices soar well beyond their intrinsic values and eventually crash) is a strong argument against market efficiency.
We recently upgraded to a whole house surge protector installed at the panel. They're not that expensive ($100-$200 around me, depending) and with the reduced quality of power we're seeing lately here and the damage it has done to our circuit breakers, it's become a necessity.
Yeah when I was a shipping clerk, we had a pile of usernames and passwords for the Census Bureau's Automated Export System on sticky notes next to the shared computer because the password rotation and complexity requirements made it impossible to remember our passwords.
The bsky.app web app is a JavaScript app that runs in a browser. It talks to an AppView (API server) which talks to a Relay which talks to all PDS hosts on the network.

Evidence that the fentanyl problem is driven by pot legalization?

Is there less opioid problems where they didn't legalize?

Yeah, there are a million pot stores, and many closing but that's just a bubble for you.
Yes. Being depressed is SO boring. So is being in a psychiatric hospital because of deep depression (I've done that twice, in 1977 after a near-miss suicide attempt (pills) and in 1991 when I became anxiously non-functional and frightened).

Though I've never been in jail or prison, I suspect boredom is a dominant condition there too.
Parent post didn't cite it in an argument.

They shared a story.
It takes a lot to produce weapons grade plutonium, you need to run a reactor for some time and do quite a bit of complicated and dangerous post processing. While it's not something with a traditional price tag, estimates are that weapons grade plutonium costs about $4000 per gram to produce in the US. Further, if anyone notices you starting up the reactor to do so, that could be a massive diplomatic problem - something you especially don't want when the middle east is currently in a highly tumultuous state.

Presumably the Yakuza got access to the plutonium by illicit means that were substantially cheaper than producing it themselves, meaning they can sell it for what would otherwise be a loss and still make a nice profit. It's quite reasonable that if Iran wanted to say conduct some nuclear weapons research while appearing to comply with IAEA requirements that buying some plutonium off the black market would be the most economical option.

As far as I know the Netherlands only legalized consumption and sale, but not production? Which just lead to higher demand for products what were still largely supplied by criminal groups.

What do you mean? It's specifically for $(cat …) / $(< …): the latter is a faster equivalent of the former. Other than that, see my comment about $READNULLCMD.

> That thin glass cracks under thermal stress should be no great surprise.

Actually, the thinner the glass is, the less likely it is to crack due to thermal gradients. It is thicker glass which experiences greater stress. The equation for thermal stress is:

thermal_stress = (coefficient of thermal expansion) ∙ Young’s modulus ∙ ∆T

which for glass, works out to about 0.63 MPa per 1 degC temperature difference between the centre and edge of the glass. Thinner glass has less temperature difference, so lower stress. Furthermore, surface roughness and type of imperfections lower the amount of stress needed to cause a failure, so Apple's obsessive polishing makes the glass withstand higher stress than usual.
Yeah I don’t think openAI can get away with a “just add more explosions and lens flare” strategy :p
Re password reset workflow issues: I had an account at a bank where password reset always failed. I had to go through a VERY convoluted process with customer website support to get it fixed. It turned out that the problem was that my registered email address was just two characters (my initials) to the left of the "@", e.g., ab@mydomain.com. They allowed me to enter and use it throughout the system without any error flagging whatsoever, but it completely broke the password system. They claim to have raised it as a bug, but never fixed in 3 years+ (moving away from them now).
These kind of problems are not problems of the lack of information.

Therefore no advice per se can really help.
Well, let me bore you with one of mine then!

Can anyone recommend a good modern UPS? It seems like Lithium Ion would have the best power density, but perhaps lead-acid is actually better for this application? Good surge protection would also be great. It would be nice if there existed a UPS brand that is like Anker for USB cables and power adapters or Brother for printers.
I really miss how Vanguard used to allow writing checks from its brokerage account;[1] it combined the best of savings and checking accounts (complete with a six transactions-per-month limit, back when that was a thing). Is there something like it elsewhere? I have accounts at Vanguard and Schwab; I think I've heard that there is something like it at Fidelity but don't know anything about it.

The pro series literally still has this exact connector today, with the same behavior.
Want emergencies can you think of which would require such fast access to cash? For example if you need to replace a big ticket item (car, house...) which has been destroyed it will take longer than that to find a replacement. Most short term emergencies requiring something like rent car, rent living space, flying somewhere can be handled by putting the cost on a credit card.
The archive owner wants takedown requests to be forced to be cross-border, so he wants to know where the request is coming from so he can serve from a server in a different country.

Cloudflare blocks the extension to DNS that allows that. If you don't care, you can set your DNS to bypass Cloudflare for those domains only.
If you want Airtable, but with unlimited rows in the DB, that's Visual DB: https://visualdb.com You can use query parameters to specify which subset of records to bring to the frontend.
Most people could memorize enough to count as a copyright violation if they did reproduce it; as you said, actors preparing for a role certainly do so. And people with excellent memories could remember much more.

And yes, there would be a violation if someone then made another copy by reproducing it from memory. But the copy in the mind is overlooked, or forgiven. That's a copy too, just as the copy stored somewhere in the weights of an LLM is a copy.

We may not understand exactly how it's stored in either case, but it's in there somewhere. And it's worth saying again: the copy in an LLM may not be overlooked by the law.

I am doing some work on this anonymous proxy space as it's related to AI data collection. There are three big players and apparently NetNut is one of them. Has anyone used this one or one of the others which I think are BrightData and "Oxy" but don't know that name?
Why do you care what other people do with their private time?
> from established dealers, often people with a lot of knowledge in growing/processing

I don't know where you live but where I grew up in Germany this was, and still is, decidedly not the status quo. Folks I know literally "import" from hundreds of kilometers away because that's the next place where they could find someone who fits your description. The rest of the market is exactly as sketchy as I'd expect.
You're not even reading your own arguments, near as I can tell?

Of course a dirty bomb isn't militarily useful to the US gov't. They have literal nuclear weapons. Hijacking a civilian airliner and using it to attack a target in a suicide attack ALSO isn't militarily useful to the US government. They have cruise missiles.

They also wouldn't stoop to these kinds of tactics, and have overpowering force in other areas, so what else is the enemy going to use (eventually)?

A tiny group (equivalent to a US Army Company in size) being able to attack one of the most prominent financial centers of the United States successfully (and, notably, the Pentagon as well!) on live TV, instilling fear and terror in the populace, and even getting away with it for a decade is of course an existential threat to the United States.

Near as I can tell, no country in the world could pull that off successfully, not even Russia or China.

And how do you propose the gov't was going to 'just arrest' Osama Bin Laden? Or any other terrorist group?

The whole point is that they hide among civilians and go deep underground when hunted, using what we won't do to be successful.

It took a decade to even FIND OBL. And if they put him on trial, it would just give him an audience to push buttons and get his message out even wider and stir up more shit. Look at what is going on with Israel and Palestine/Hamas.

And how would you propose that the gov't not have the populace scared when something like 9/11 happens.

Should the news just not report on someone plowing nearly fully occupied airliners into the iconic and fully occupied World Trade Center towers in downtown Manhattan, or the Pentagon - in broad daylight during a workday, no less.

Towers that were common tourist hotspots and were plainly visible literally from some of the busiest streets in one of the most prominent cities in the entire world?

With no warning, and no effective countermeasures or prevention at the time?

Or that the entire US picks up deep meditation practice to understand the futility of 'holding on' to such things and how they get used against oneself?

Neither of those are realistic, or even a good idea near as I can tell in this situation.

Honestly, this type of attitude is exactly what leads up to these kinds of situations happening. It's sticking one's head in the sand.

And the world isn't slowing down. Check out this 3D printed surface to air missile project on Youtube.

A 90/10 stocks/bonds portfolio will outperform a 100/0 portfolio over the long term.

During a market downturn money flees to safety, bonds appreciate, stocks fall, and when you rebalance back to 90/10 you'll effectively be buying stocks at a discount.

The 100/0 guy has no such option and misses out entirely.
Yes, we have an "AutoMod" system and other protections in place. But it is a cat-and-mouse game, so we expect it to be one of the challenges. But because the network is completely open, it's also something anyone who is interested can help with.

Thanks, I'm going to give that a go too. The good news is the very latest Ollama update (0.1.27) has resolved things (though I also had to redownload the quant model for 7B).
It is ridiculous, but devil's advocate: let's say the board told you that you needed to make very unpopular decisions and will be hated by millions of people for the favor.

How much would you ask for?
Clickbait.

They bought 1000 licenses to develop code. It does not affect users. At least as it's stated in the clickbait article.

You can certainly over-engineer your solution, but just watch the world and see how "you would have fared" in situations that affect others.

For example, everything goes to shit if Rogers goes down so hard that no electronic payments of anything works; so maybe some percentage of an emergency fund should be literal cash on hand.
Kinda telling that she also named Google as a defendant despite the company not being involved whatsoever, and telling her that up front. Just a classic case of fishing for a settlement, which she will get just to avoid the press attention.
I have a BR700G it works flawlessly with apcupsd, minimal to no configuration... the cheap units of APC is for really really desperate consumers, the battery didn't last more than a year from my experience like the BR* ones that usually last 3 years, these lines is the better of the both worlds cheap and sophisticated enough to work "smart" but as expensive as the SMT/SMC units.

Also like everyone say... remember to look for pure sine wave output if you are going to "protect" servers, for network equipment you could use the pwm based ones.
They had to "constrain" it so that it would have hallucinated in this specific way. Natural behavior does not require anything like that.

Then if markets are always non-efficient, but they "work", I'd argue that they aren't irrational, they are simply quite rational in doing their overall job over time.
Why does it for you?
the only other options I can think of (in the USA) are USPS and a company that I haven't seen in so long that I wondered if they were still in business, DHL. DHL's website is still up and running, but I guess they aren't doing great if I never see their delivery trucks anymore. Maybe they have a stronger presence in areas away from where I live...

Focussing on vector length is an error. You should care about throughput and number of different instructions you can retire.

If I have a core with four 128-bit neon vector units, I have the same throughput as an x86 with two AVX2 units or one AVX512 unit. However that 4x128-bit core is actually more flexible than the other two as I can do 4 different things at once, or 4 scalar operations per cycle. (Of course the downside is you spend more frontend resources on decode).

Given that most code isn't vector code, the multiple short vector length approach is actually superior on many common real-world workloads that aren't machine-learning (and CPU is unit-of-last-resort for large ML workloads anyway).
While I haven't been in the dating pool for a while, I still get a huge number of dating related ads.

One of the trends that I notice is that there are many more 'AI dating coach' services that seem geared at helping people continue interesting conversations or appear funnier or more intelligent than they are.

I see the appeal, as my wife will be the first to tell you I do not do well over text, but I can't help but see these as totally immoral tools.

I think the end result will be that people will get a sense for when an AI is talking to them, in the same way we have a sense for fake accounts. But as these tools get better, that might not be the case.

Also, I look forward to seeing people on dates that were arranged by their respective agents lol.
> I think it's the knot application and not the culture driving the requirements.

Bingo! From article:

"Knots are still used in this high-tech arena because cable lacing has long been the preferred cable management technique in aerospace applications. That it remains so to this day is a testament to the effectiveness of properly chosen knots tied by skilled craftspeople."

If there's a better way (not saying there isn't!), prove it. Knots 'just work', use a minimal amount of material (weight), and are reliable low-tech proven over ages.

Of course, effectiveness / reliability depends heavily on "properly chosen knots" (+materials) and "tied by people who know what they're doing". I'd think NASA has that covered.
Good lord. My first read of this I was convinced it was satire.

> The dating giant says it long term plan is to squeeze artificial intelligence into “literally everything” in its apps.

> The company celebrated its new partnership with a press release written by ChatGPT... It includes quotes supposedly penned by the AI itself, as though it has its own feelings about corporate strategy. “I’m thrilled that Match Group matched with me,” ChatGPT said. “Together, we’re not just breaking the ice; we’re melting it, and reshaping the way work gets done.”
"We've also conducted novel research on safety risks and developed red-teaming techniques to test for a range of potential harms. "

The Cyberpower series sold at Costco is unironically good. No frills or cool stuff, UI from 1995 but supports USB monitoring out of the box and just… works. I was about to make the brother comparison but after reading your entire comment realize you already did it.
Great idea, especially with huge books with hundreds of characters (looking at you "Gravity's Rainbow" and your ~400 characters with wacky names).
surely you mean that the FS should calculate the hash on file creation/update, not take some random value from the user. but I agree that a FS that maintains file-content hash should allow clients to query it.
Since SD cards and USB sticks are both just computers you plug in to a network port on your computer, they could definitely make write-once SD card controllers.
