I worked at Cloudflare, but long ago, and not on this sort of thing.

Cloudflare has extensive experience with both of these things, including employing Mike Pall for a time. That they've invested in Pingora instead is an interesting data point precisely due to that deep expertise at scale.

As they say in the link that started this subthread:

> In production, Pingora consumes about 70% less CPU and 67% less memory compared to our old service with the same traffic load. The savings come from a few factors.

>

> Our Rust code runs more efficiently compared to our old Lua code. On top of that, there are also efficiency differences from their architectures. For example, in NGINX/OpenResty, when the Lua code wants to access an HTTP header, it has to read it from the NGINX C struct, allocate a Lua string and then copy it to the Lua string. Afterwards, Lua has to garbage-collect its new string as well. In Pingora, it would just be a direct string access.

You have to be a very capable hacker to modify all the different Starlink firmware of all the chips involved. There are dozens of reasons to do that, unrelated from disabling WiFi.

And no, a GUI check box has little relation to what the hardware actually does.
It's the simplest two-dimensional surface[1] with at least one hole in it. In topology - the math branch that deals with properties of geometric objects and how they can be deformed - it's one of the two simplest objects, the other being a sphere. (There's a lot of those, too). Donuts ("tori") have the advantage that they're a bit more complex, so they're more interesting, and have interesting properties. Nobody gets much excited by spheres anymore ;) That also means they get a bit more attention.

That means you'd expect it to be very common. Not having a lot of donuts would be weird. (Now there's a maxim to live by!)

Yes, it's extremely handwavy, and there are probably explanations that are much better and more detailed. Sorry. Best I have.

[1] I lie. It's a compact orientable 2-manifold, not a 2D surface. For laymen's terms, I hope the math folks will let me get away with "surface" though.
OK, but why? What could happen, in actual practice?
All the compute happens in the cloud, you're exactly right about the websocket pushing commands.
The dirty secret of why traffic circles reduce accidents? Stoplights feel safer than they actually are, while circles feel more dangerous than they actually are. That nervousness becomes vigilance, which reduces accidents. It’s also why people intuitively hate them. They’re actually right, but also wrong.

Feeling safe is an illusion that governments try to maintain for their people. It’s one of their biggest jobs. But the illusion has dimensions and it’s hard to keep several going at once.
How to choose the right type of database
When I say DisplayPort needs these features, I don't necessarily mean they need the HDMI Consortium's specific implementation of them. I see no reason VESA couldn't implement their own alternatives to CEC, ARC, Auto Lipsync, etc. These HDMI features solve a host of problems that are unique to home theater setups, so any HDMI alternative that wants to supplant it needs to also solve them as well.

Like you point out, there's no technical reason DisplayPort cannot provide similar features. The issue is the lack of any standards for them built into the DisplayPort specification. Some of these features, like CEC, are 20 years old and could easily be improved upon in an ecosystem that doesn't have to worry about backwards compatibility.
Author here, thanks! A second article will cover this, but the bottom line is that it entirely depends on the team and the constraints e.g. is a GC an option (then Go is a good option), is security the highest priority, etc.

I’d say that most C++ developers will generally have an easy time using Rust and will get equivalent performance.

But sometimes the project did not have a good reason to be in C++ in the first place and I’ve seen successful rewrites in Java for example.

Apple is rewriting some C++ code in Swift, etc. So, the language the team/company is comfortable with is a good rule of thumb.

Kara Swisher's Reality Distortion Field
This may or may not be real, but there has certainly been a lot of discussion about results that are similar to this from real models. My sense though is that nobody really has a solid way to fix these kinds of issues. You can basically just train with different goals, or regex out certain responses, but otherwise it seems like there's no agreed-upon method that gives people what they want here while also letting them train with business goals like "safety". Is that incorrect? Is there some kind of trick that people use to make everything respond "correctly" or are older models just more unobjectionable because they've had a longer time to manually smooth over the bad responses?
Wouldn't the model need to be trained on some valid data before being used to guess/approximate output from input?
Something tells me you are wholly unaware of the damage that addiction and obesity can inflict not just on the person afflicted, but on their family, community, and society as a whole. The benefits/costs equation is so massively lopsided here that you'd be cruel to advocate that people endure years of avoidable torment to satisfy your faulty notion of free will / agency. I can't think of anything more agency-promoting than ridding someone of their addictions.

Right. I just think property tax is the wrong lever to pull here.

I think we should remove carrots (the tax advantages at the federal level) instead of trying to penalize via harsher taxes.
I don't think this tendency to fixate on arbitrary LLM outputs is very interesting, most especially those presented as screenshots obscuring any certainty regarding the model, previous prompting, loras, hyperparameter tuning etc, or even any assurance that what is presented isn't simply fabricated from whole cloth. It's meaningless.
I think TV static is like floppy icons in UIs. It's been referenced enough as a no-signal indicator, as well as a deeply rooted cultural thing, that even Gen Z will recognize it.

It's funny because they'll recognize it as a cultural artifact. Used for artistic effect. Whereas, for me, it meant something more practical. Meant I was up too early or too late for anything to be on the telly. Or it meant something was wrong with the reception and I'd have rearrange the rabbit ears. Later on, it meant my Atari 800's connector had gotten loose and I'd have to go back behind the massive TV to tighten it up.

The hardware designers were involved on the standardization process. I don't have citations at hand, I think most of the mailing lists were the discussion re the c++ MO happened have been lost, but (as a lurker trying to learn this stuff) I was following the process closely.

The question was, given PO, whether it was at all possible to recover sequential consistently on intel either with mfence or a lock xchg, given the possibility of IRIW. Intel then updated their MO to exclude IRIW, de facto standardizing on TSO.

This was early 2000s. I think both ARM and IBM published revisions to their architecture clarifying details around the same time.

This spawned a set of academic papers that proved the correctness of the agreed mapping of the C++ memory model to those architecture s.
The order will be Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo..it's the same order the OEMs decided to make a deal. Elon won't let anyone get ahead of anyone else, because money is not the objective.
In Sweden this is a pain at super charger locations that allow non-Tesla vehicle charging. The almost randomized charge port locations makes lots of non-Tesla vehicles park in the wrong place and take up two spots.

Not really sure what can be done about it except just hoping for more charge infrastructure to be built fast... If Tesla would go back to only offering charging for Tesla vehicles that would be nice when driving Tesla but a step back for the overall electrification so I'm actually ok with some minor annoyance on this.

Sweet! Would love to host this myself and get rid of my Strava subscription.

I wrote a Python script that iterates through all of my activities there and downloads the `.gpx` for each - I could share the code if interested! Not sure how you'd integrate it into your app - maybe a "import from Strava" page could handle the Strava API auth?

I also love this idea of self-hosting some web apps (especially if they're containerized). I setup a `util.` subdomain and have started putting a few things there at different root directories. It's fun!

The issue is in a capitalist society that saving of cost is not going towards a more efficient production method, or even being passed on to the consumer, its going in the pockets of the board and shareholders.

> The funds, typically used to finance rail infrastructure, could now be tapped to help developers of office-to-residential conversions sited near transit facilities.

The problem here is that they tacked this onto a program designed for rail infrastructure financing instead of creating a new program. The rules and restrictions were designed for rail infrastructure projects and probably make sense in that context, but make no sense when applied to building projects.

I agree but it's still worth watching. Apparently there's supposed to be 6 seasons in total.
A big part of the problem is that the used market is controlled by new car buyers (from the past) - if nobody is buying new compact/cheap cars (for whatever reason) then they're not available for used buyers.

And you can get what has happened multiple times - when gas prices rise substantially, low-mpg vehicles get dumped on the used market, so you have poor people and kids driving massive boats (the hotrodding scene from the 70s is a direct result of this).

Human brains use multiple systems for judgement. Maybe we should stop trying to model alien intelligences and concentrate more on the ones we sort of understand.

One process takes the questions at face value and reflexively answers, and two other systems look at the intent of both actors and stop the process if they don’t like what’s going on.

I get asked all the time to answer questions that could be interpreted as signing my team up for stress and overtime. My natural suspiciousness kicks in and I start answering questions with questions. Why do you need to know how long this will take? We already told you. So what are you fishing for?

If someone asked me how to hypothetically kill a lot of people “efficiently”, I very much need to know if this is just two nerds over alcohol, or a homicidal maniac. Me especially. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve said, “It’s a good thing I have sworn to use my powers only for Good.” Some of the things I can think up are terrifyingly plausible, which is how I ended up in security for a time.

This is only slightly related but I noticed in Dune (2021) that the Sardaukar spoken language seems dubbed over the actor's voice. I've wondered if it the language's inclusion was a late production choice. It looks like they're saying the English subtitles but we hear dubbed audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWK3nkJhneE.
You'd hope, but a lot of models are still distributed as .pt files, which are Pickle — which means they can contain and execute arbitrary code on load.

Some popular applications (Automatic1111 etc.) take measures against that, but the real fix is to ignore anything that isn't safetensors.
Is there a way to push data into it, rather than have it pull data from data sources? I have some use cases where users want <3s latency from source data updates to the display being refreshed. For reference, I managed to get to ~10s using Google Sheets' API.

"National security data risk" is a funny way of saying "risk to the profits of the domestic car companies." If it was about spying it'd broadly apply to all vehicles and not just those imported.

There is 1 stall on a single set of superchargers which can be charged by a F-150 without blocking 2 stalls, that is if there is an adjacent spot on the right side/end of the chargers, which is not always the case.

This is a post about Ford's getting access to Superchargers, so I don't think it's making a "big deal" about anything to simply describe the configuration of the trucks and how that impacts their ability to use the superchargers. It just is what it is.
Can you say how, specifically with regards to "receivers seeing it as white noise without knowing the timing"?

As I understand it, the same is true for e.g. DSSS (for receivers not knowing the spreading code), and the primary advantage of UWB is its precise ranging capability (due to its ability to reject multipath propagation errors and the generally high bandwidth, yielding better spatial resolution).
