So I've got a dumb question here: what happens when you use vanilla XmR charts with J-curve shaped or sub-exponential distributions?

My current simplistic (and very dumb!) solution that I've used for power-law type distributions — like HN virality, for instance — is to count the number of days between viral events, and then subject that to process control.[1] I basically take Wheeler's approach to chunky data and use that for J-curve type data, which tells me if the behaviour of my 'HN virality process' has changed.

I'd be very interested to learn of other approaches.

>That's still somewhat true. We may criticise our society in this forum and not be arrested by thugs.

This is possible in many if not most oppressive countries too. It's simply not worthwhile to throw every critic in prison. This doesn't mean they are protecting freedom, it just means that they've made a cost/benefit trade off that left somebody who wasn't that much of a threat to begin with out of prison.

When you see how we treat dissidents who are a threat to the powers that be (Assange, Snowden, Gonzalo Lira) I don't see a huge difference in how we treat them and how our geopolitical rivals treat theirs. We're slightly better than them at not doing it, but that could just be because our elites feel less threatened.

>That should be evidence enough that for 80 years since the last world war we've maintained an alliance of ideals that were worth fighting for.

Not very well, and we get more like Russia with every passing year. Sometimes the similarities are a little too on the nose - like when we bring down a jet to try and grab one dissident and then a year or two later they do it too.

That one irks me too... When I built an auth/rbac app previously I did make Max length configurable and it would display a night if set. I set a hidden hard limit to 1k only to reduce attack surfaces that would only display and error if exceeded.

Default was a min-length of 15 as the only requirement with the default hint of "try using a short sentence"

I also had optional use of zxcvbn and haveibeenpwned checks during new passphrase creation.

I really wanted to open source the application but couldn't get approval to do so.

It was a pretty nice little simple auth application that issued RSA signed JWT to configured applications. It was interested into a few internal apps as well as for clients that didn't have something like azure ad, okta, etc. where we wrote bridge apps for auth.

If I had my configuration doc, I'd probably recreate it exactly, but with a Rust backend with HTMX instead of C#+react.

The date store used SQLite as a KV store, with simple methods for access that allowed an exception later for the values. Also wrote support for PostgreSQL and MS-SQL so they could be used where available.

Spent a lot of time on same defaults, hashing and encryption along with required configuration options for a few clients.

Aside: more devs really need to better understand public/private key generation and usage... Like not using the same keys for different environments.
Well, this is for firefox, and the other is for Chrome, so maybe that's a significant upgrade?
a stipulation that it applies to people who live or are located in the EU

if i travel to leave the EU for longer than 30 days, do i no longer live in the EU?

according to tax law, i am considered living in the EU as long as i spend at least 6 months per year there. so by that metric, the feature should be available for at least 6 months after leaving the EU.
Looks fantastic. Always wanted to switch to an alternative to postman. But as my clients all work with postman collections I never really had the chance to switch.
GMaps is usually better for the social aspect: reviews at restaurants, places, etc.

But for walking outside cities, both are really terrible. Mapy.cz (previously maps.me) is an order of magnitude better

And for driving, Waze is usually the best. Police controls will be shown, and in some countries, especially outside EU + US, Waze is better at finding a car road, while GMaps may sugges a shortcut through a river.

Your idiosyncratic opinion what "clear" means doesn't make the answers wrong. "clear" clears the terminal. If you'd asked what you meant, ie. "how to clear the terminal screen and scroll buffer on Linux" you'd might have found ALT+CTRL+L which does what you want on most terminal emulators. Or you could have read the man page https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/clear.1.html and found that the E3 property is what you want to know about.
#1 Depends on what you're competing with.

I, for example, like to use "AI" to assist me in writing NSFW short stories. Can't do that with any of the public ones without hitting the guard rails HARD. Even with extreme prompt massaging, the AI will start to moralise and editorialise the actions so much it's affecting the output.

As for #2, MacBooks are so ubiquitous it's a meme on itself. You can go into any classroom or fancy coffee place and I can bet you over 80% of the laptops there have an Apple logo and a good portion of those are new enough to have an M-series processor in it.

On the PC side you're right, even a semi-high end Intel/AMD CPU is not powerful enough to be practical for LLMs. You need a dedicated NVidia GPU for that and those are only in "gaming" laptops.
Windows has also maintained backwards compatibility to a ridiculous extent, and there have been a bunch of "year of the Windows desktop", so I don't think it is detrimental that Linux does the same.

I think maybe more that the users of this website, which is designed in a way that is intensely functional compared to other similar sites, just prefer less “useless” design features.
Even when your password is erased from the clipboard after 10 seconds, that's enough for any of the tabs open in your browser to steal it.
To be fair to OP, Wheeler never claims that for stable/in-control/predictable processes roughly half of the measurements will lie above the average. The only claim he makes is that 97% of all data points for a stable process (assuming the process draws from a J-curve or single-mound distribution) will fall between the limit lines.

He can't make this claim (about ~half falling above/below the average line), because one of the core arguments he makes is that XmR charts are usable even when you're not dealing with normal distributions. He argues that the intuition behind how they work is that they detect the presence of more than one probability distribution in the variation of a time series.

It means Apple would never have approved the Epic Sweden account if management had known, and for the past 3 weeks they were just looking for excuses to backtrack.

Which is supported by the fact that they justified the new ban with "they'd just break our terms again!" If you really believed that, Apple, you'd wait, and ban Epic Games Sweden after they broke your terms, which minimizes legal risk. They don't believe their own FUD.

That makes a lot of sense. I haven't really bothered printing PLA since moving to the Voron, it prints ABS with such ease, there's not much reason for me to print PLA.

I do still have a stockpile though, so any time I print anything non-functional, or for my children, I use the PLA, which I have in a plethora of colours.

Klicky can certainly be a bit tricky, I've got mine pretty well configured now so that if it does ping off somewhere, everything stops so we don't get the head ramming into the bed or anything. Again, much of that advanced configuration came with the help of the amazing people in the Voron community. I've only destroyed one bed so far, and smashed one Stealthburner mount by ramming it into the endstop from the side (luckily I printed a spare).
In this case, you can build and self host on Dev mode... It's a pain but doable.

2^1024 is 10^308

Lets say there are 12 billion links per person, and 8 billion people. That's 100 billion billion, or 10^20 links.

10^20 / 10^308 is zero.

Lets say you can test 10 trillion links a second, and started when the big bang happened, you'll have tested 10^30 links so far.

The number of links you'll have found so far is zero.
I think the issue is less a technical one and more that Apple doesn't want to cede control. I'm guessing the fact they're saying this will take a year to launch is more about how little they want to do it than the actual amount of effort.
The strategy used to detect "Fully Encrypted Traffic" is indeed complex, but the protocols investigated by the paper (at least Shadowsocks, VMess. Not really sure about Obfs4) works by transforming the traffic to make it "look like nothing".

So I still believe "High Entropy" is a better description than "Fully Encrypted Traffic".

I mean, you can pack the entire data stream in Base64 after sending them through a SHA256 pipeline, and it will still be "Fully Encrypted", but the entropy (in terms of traffic classification by content scanning) is not the same compare to doing it without the Base64 step.

Very interesting to get the perspective of someone who did thisbin a non-manufacturing evironment. One interesting bit, for someone like me who knows SPC from manufacturing related processes, are the discussions around what a stable process is. Because I cannot remember a single of those discussions ever in manfucturing related fields. Intriguiging, especially since on HN sometimes discussion miss the point by turning into disputes about the exact definition of a term, something that sounds very similar to the "misunderstandings" about stuff like special-casue variation you described.

Edit: Fully agree on the Amazon style WBR, what you said is exactly what is happening at Amazon. Daily during Q4 peak for a large enough subset of metrics.
> (From a brief reading of this thread, it seems like kqr, jacques_chester, and I are the only ones who have put this to practice in non-manufacturing contexts — though correct me if I'm wrong.)

And roenxi.

> So here's my pitch: every Wednesday morning, Amazon's leaders get together to go through 400-500 metrics within one hour.

Amazon's core value proposition is they maintain a large and very physical fleet of machines that they rent out. With serious standards for up-time that they can take real pride in.

They don't sell themselves as a software house. I'm sure they have tentacles everywhere and they aren't bad at it (if anything I'd expect them to be pretty good on a given project), but they've greatly benefited from using other people's software - they don't have their own DB for example, they reuse others and have a couple of PostgreSQL forks for more at-scale use cases.

I'm sure they get huge value from SPC (anything physical generally benefits from it), and I'm sure they use SPC for software out of reflex; but it doesn't follow that it is driving productive behaviour in the software branch of the business. A fleet of ~infinite servers benefits from controlling 400 metrics. Software development does not.

> Yes obviously it can be worked around by tens of thousands of people. We weren't discussing that. This is about the default which is clearly an insane default in 2024.

But what you're advocating isn't changing the default, it's changing the purpose of reset.

If people want something to clear the scrollback buffer then a new standard, and thus tool too, should be implemented. And in fact there are other ways to clear the scrollback buffer. You're just insistent on complaining that one very specific tool which is intended for a whole other purpose also clears the scrollback buffer slightly quicker...

> Rubbish. There are obviously other options:

> * Don't upgrade their software (almost certainly the case already).

That might not be an option. Some financial systems still use older style null terminals in places.

> * Install a version of `reset` that has the delay.

Given you're strongly against having to install a version of `reset` that doesn't have the delay, you're hardly in a position to demand other people to install a version that does.

> * Add an option to `reset` to add the delay.

That's not really practical on most systems because `reset` is just a symlink to `tset`

> * Stop using a physical terminal.

That's about as unhelpful a suggestion as it comes.

> If you're ever wondering why it will never be the year of Linux on the desktop, it's because of attitudes like yours.

Please don't make personal attacks. Plus waiting a couple of seconds for a command line terminal to clear when using one specific command has absolutely naff all to do with "the year of desktop Linux".

If you bothered to do even the smallest amount of research on me, you'd realise that I'm massively in favour of modernising the command line. I've written a next generation shell that, frankly, leaves most others in the dust. And I'm not working on a terminal emulator that can in-line multimedia and other interactive GUI components. The problem here isn't my attitude, it's that the arguments in favour of changing `reset` are bullshit nonsense that both misunderstand the purpose of `reset` and also risk breaking a whole plethora of hardware because of that misunderstanding of yours.

I used to think to this too, but I'm coming around to the idea that it was a useful idea only in the period when software was special, and used by a small number of people, and not extremely ordinary, and ubiquitous.

There's a different kind of high stakes involved when your software is used by (say) scientists in the defense industry to when your software is used by hundreds of thousands of fast food workers at mcdonalds. In the latter case, proficiency is useful but modifiability is not. So then the discussion needs to move to more human factors like discoverability, optimization of the fast path through the users' most frequent operations, and speed.
Generally I think the West is more concerned about the fact that he's currently providing infrastructure for a Western ally whilst actively campaigning for them to surrender, endorsing Russia's annexation of the Crimea and questioning the existence of NATO than his enthusiasm for fecundity.
