Ola, fellow YC founders. Surely you have seen Windmill since you refer to it in the comments below. It looks like Hatchet, being a lot more recent, has currently a subset of what Windmill offers, albeit with a focus solely on the task queue and without the self-hosted enterprise focus. So it looks more like a competitor to Inngest than of Windmill. We released workflows as code last week which was the primary differentiator with other workflow engines and us so far: https://www.windmill.dev/docs/core_concepts/workflows_as_cod...

The license is more permissive than ours MIT vs AGPLv3, and you're using Go vs Rust for us, but other than that the architecture looks extremely similar, also based mostly on Postgres with the same insights than us: it's sufficient. I'm curious where do you see the main differentiator long-term.
Attributions are about more than the code flow. You also need infrastructure to funnel exfiltrated data back to yourself.

As you can imagine, it’s harder to reuse someone else’s infrastructure. Easy to copy code patterns but you can’t exactly reuse domains, listening posts etc.
Hence my remark, as that is going to ultimately happen if things keep slowly escalating.
Finally, someone is at right path.
I of course know better than anyone the joy of making a snide rhetorical cut but in this case I was referring to the legal understanding of what the purpose of copyright is in various societies and epigrammatic wit is not enough to obscure a clearly written law.

But good try!
Is that the "postquantum" bit? i.e. not that spacetime is quantized as such, but that it's not a uniform continuous medium at all scales, that classical mechanics would assume.
What’s to stop the side that loses the virtual war just having another go in reality? Can you really imagine Putin or Saddam Hussein just accepting a loss and giving up?

Meanwhile a delay in real time while the virtual war is prepared and fought would almost alway be significantly more beneficial to one side over the other.

So many other factors, but that’s a start.
Doesnt vite already come with a dev server? Wouldn't that work for demos?
No that's why we all can naively say it isn't happening even though many of us here could do it ourselves as a fun side project.
I once wrote a system for distributed data processing (8-10 years ago). There was a base class that when inherited from would, via Interception reroute a call to any virtual method to a server with the same interface loaded (plug-in architecture). The server would then delegate the method to one of its worker clients, which had the (same) required plugin(s) loaded. It worked over TCP on a local intranet. Once the admin-server-worker plugin system was figured out, projecting a virtual method was fairly transparent. There's always going to be some boiler-plate!
Has anyone already integrated it as a vscode extension?
My country, Romania, had in fact signed a pact with the USSR after 1989, so not all Eastern European countries would have been against it.
How do you simulate attacking someone who is not expecting to fight a war with you? What do you do when the simulated loser refuses to concede?
The problem with that is simple: if one side believes they are at war, 2 sides are at war.

And Russia has explained why they believe they are at war, the insane dictator at the top explained that in the 13th century it was really unfair that some army marched from Poland to what is now Chechnya (even Tucker Carlsson frowned as hard as he could and needed about 6 seconds to collect his jaw from the floor) and therefore Ukraine isn't a "real" nation and should be part of Russia. And that, in any case, Russia has the borders it chooses, as does any large country.
>neither EU or US are interested in Russian territory.

But the west is interested in depleting and weakening Russia, which we can accomplish by prolonging this war as long as we can by supplying just enough aid to keep Ukraine from losing but not so much that Ukraine would win.

>Furthermore, I’m having a hard time understanding your reasoning regarding US aid.

You know what is worse than war? An unnecessarily protracted war. The longer a war goes on, the exponentially worse the civilians caught in the crossfire suffer.

I want Ukraine to win for reasons already stated, but I also do not want to see this war go on any longer than it has to. The west is more than opulent enough to supply enough equipment to end this war sooner, and if we go as far as to send in our own boots we can end this war overnight.

But we don't. Instead we provide just enough aid to keep Ukraine afloat. It's now over 2 years since Russia began its invasion.

As an aside, the military industrial complex is making a killing (pun intended) selling new gear to replace the ones donated to Ukraine.

What the fuck.

So no, no more aid unless enough is provided to end this war in Ukraine's favor as soon as fucking possible. I do not agree to aid that is any less and would keep prolonging this war at great cost to civilians.
I don’t know much about how these models work, but does this mean that a lot of ‘smartness’ that they show in how they articulate the answers are just them ‘parroting’ the contractors who ‘role played ai’?
I’m in a company outside of the tech industry. It feels like we are a couple years behind the current trend of coming back to sanity. Last summer the CEO announced that all open positions would have a “double diverse slate of candidates.” What does that even mean in practical terms?
> It would be like fantasy sports but you choose your representatives.

Cheeky.

I think there's something here, though. High school civics classes have Model UN, why not gamify congressional proceedings in a similar way? You'd have to simplify the rules a bit, I guess.
> there's no way for me (or for other people who think the same as me) to vote out the people that make those decisions

You can vote for your country's elections. You can also vote for the EU parliament.

And ever EU nation supports Ukraine, with the exception of Hungary. In this case the policy of the EU is very much aligned with the policy of ... pretty much the entire EU.

There's something distinctly unsatisfying about this sort of paper, because the number of potential solutions to the problem they're trying to solve is in principle vast, and you can arrive at any number of them if you laboriously work backwards and fit your equations to the data. Without very rigorous efforts towards empirical validation, in novel ways if required, this sort of thing is just another wholly speculative theory to add to the large and growing pile.

The interesting thing, as far as I'm concerned, is the size and shape of the answer space. How many theoretical solutions can be coaxed to fit the cosmological data? It can't be infinite, but it seems as though it's a rather large number.
I guess it's on everybodys mind due to the war in Ukraine: They sunk 1/3rd of the Russian Black Sea fleet with drones, without having a real navy of their own anymore. Is there a good overview of civilian applications so far?

Also, what chemical sensors are you talking about? I am currently building a small buoy for data logging on sweetwater lakes and would be curious what chemical sensors I could include :)
Is there really consensus that practical systems need to have lock lease timeouts?
There is a hierarchy and a single person at the peak of it who has ultimate executive power (a Chief Executive Officer, if you will) then it'll perform roughly the same as as authoritarian system except in some highly unusual circumstances. A military coup by the army would play out differently for example, but day-to-day operation would be largely the same. And most of the performance differences between democracies and non-democracies come down to democracies having more freedom not to worry as much about generals getting too powerful.

It doesn't matter where the power officially stems from, the decision making bandwidth and incentive structures govern results - and for companies that is a clear authoritarian model.
> Considering that I used lots of incandescent light bulbs throughout my house, each about 60W, 175W doesn't really seem that bad to me.

Well, your monthly power bill would be much higher than needed with either those light bulbs or a server like that.

Those light bulbs can be cheap to replace with more efficient variants. This was already true approx 30 years ago, back in the 90s.

I got solar power. Without that, I wouldn't be having a Xeon server right now.

Don't get me wrong, to each their own! That is the fun thing with homelab. You can optimize for power, price, noise, size, heat, or a combination of these. Then you can decide to have a couple of machines dedicated or have one large VM. Then you pick the OSes.

For example, right now I am settled for my homelab server. I got a cluster to play with, too. I got a 10 gbit switch (which I only put on if I need the speed, otherwise I use a second hand Brocade with 10 gbit SFP+ uplink). Loads of fun. But my router is just an Edgerouter-Lite. EdgeOS is dead, and it doesn't have failover nor does it run a VM. If I run it in bridge mode (which I do now) and I use Wireguard it doesn't saturate 1 gbit at all. So I am looking for an alternative which is a bit future proof. Ie. with SFP+ because I will get fiber instead of DSL eventually.
My go-to JavaScript book will always remain “JavaScript for impatient programmers”[1], a 639-page book written by Dr. Axel, PhD.

It's quite complete and detailed. But as if it wasn't enough the author wrote a second (smaller book) named “Deep JavaScript: Theory and techniques”[2].

Both are free to read online!

I can imagine that wobbliness comes from chaotically passing strong gravity waves of very high wavelengths coming from outside of the observable universe and from before times of Big Bang.

There's no specific reason that forces us to believe that Big Bang was the actual beginning of everything. It might have been "local" high energetic event happening in much larger structure.

For example try to imagine how the collision of two dense clusters of trillions of black holes each traveling at nearly light speed would look like from the point of view of the dust swirling in-between and around them. I can't imagine it would be very different from what we observe in our universe.
They say helium free operation, as they say you never need to deal with the helium (e.g. no refilling)

Around as many as the number of Python programs that the Catholic Church has written with Hindi comments, which was one of the first things I tried on ChatGPT.

OpenAI also didn't send nine crusades to liberate the holy lands from the Muslims. Someone probably thinks that makes them "woke" or something.

> There is no reason to believe that human intelligence is a stochastic parrot.

I think you're getting a bit lost in the debate! Let me start again:

Some people: "Hurr durr. AI is just a stochastic parrot. Humans definitely aren't stochastic parrots. Therefore AI can NEVER be sentient or truly intelligent like a human."

Me: "Woah woah that's quite a bold claim that humans definitely aren't stochastic parrots. Do you have any evidence for this very bold claim?"

Some people: "Mumble mumble creativity... emotion... philosophy. Ok fine, no."

At no point did I claim that there is any reason to believe that human intelligence is a stochastic parrot.

> “In the absence of any direct evidence for dark energy or dark matter it is natural to wonder whether they may be unnecessary scientific constructs like celestial spheres, ether, or the planet Vulcan, all of which were superseded by simpler explanations,” it states. “Gravity has a long history of being a trickster.”

Indeed (and not only gravity), so the Guardian is going too far here :

> The proposition, outlined in a new paper, raises the controversial possibility that dark matter, which has never been directly observed, is a mirage that a substantial portion of the physics community has been chasing for several decades.

This specific theory might be controversial, but the idea that we might eventually find a better explanation than dark matter - is not.

Back when I was in grad school, I TA’ed a physics course with an older grad student in our department, and although he was technically in our department (Princeton Physics) under an advisor here, he was actually living in New York and working in NYU Applied Math / CS department doing ML research. I didn’t ask about the administrative details but it was pretty weird.
That sounds very unconvincing. Afaik there are several found galaxies with more than normal amounts of dark matter, and less. How would these fit into ANY modified gravity theory?

This type of theory seems to only handle the common case, but the universe is full of edge cases...
Nobody in this thread is saying that but you, atm. I was just wondering if you were speculating or had any evidence. Id even be interested to hear more about your logic because "its possible and has been done before by other actors" isnt enough to convince me
My country, Romania, has no effective say in this matter at the EU level. As for the European Parliament and its democratic legitimacy, the lesser said the better. We also used to have “elected” representatives under Ceausescu’s Romania, with the same effective results.
Creative flow as optimized processing: Brain oscillations in jazz improvisations
> Attributions are about more than the code flow. You also need infrastructure to funnel exfiltrated data back to yourself.

How is that even possible and how does it help? A computer is like a state machine where a minuscule amount of states are logged. When the state is gone the trace is gone. And you don't control the other involved computers anyway. And what good does accessing "exfiltrated data" do?
Don't you think that we would be able to observe some anisotropy in the data if that were the case? (Note: I have no clue, but it seems unlikely...)
Remember that the EU Commission has not said a word about the new fee that Apple added, but that fee looks against the spirit of the DMA, so it is likely that Apple will be forced to give up that fee considering they already charge an annual membership for the developer account.

Apple overplayed their anti-competitive card, so now they'll be permanently scrutinized.
The Deposit Myth: How a linguistic glitch confuses the hell out of economists

Researchers are human and as such tend to say weird things due to various psychological biases or issues. We should be careful not to take all their statements seriously. The most reasonable comment is quoted in the article:

Noah Giansiracusa, Bentley University math professor and frequent AI pundit, tweeted, "Omg are we seriously doing the whole Blake Lemoine Google LaMDA thing again, now with Anthropic's Claude?"
So you just are wildly speculating and assume this one technique you know about completely defeats teams of specialists with the budget of the richest country in the world

It's one thing to point out issues with attribution. It's another to just say since we can't say with 100% certainty let's just make up attributions.

Especially with no knowledge of the attributions certainty, they could be 99.9% sure

That response would then come from downstream from Darkly.

Afaik on Android exactly this happens, consumers can download Whatsapp from google play or if they want, they may sideload it.
Epic was not allowed to publish games on app store after avoiding 30% tax, so consumers were not able to install it from app store anyway so again, with this law, consumers in eu that may want to sideload instead of doing nothing at all, will be able to
So just as I said, consumer takes decisions what apps to install and how to install them instead of apple. If you don't want to use sideloading - don't use it
I sure hope it would be.
When I got mine a year or so ago I was frequently getting speed tests like 17mbps down/5up, which was still much better than I had before. But just now I got 135/25, and while that's unusually fast, I'm consistently seeing >100mbps download rates. But the download latency this time was 156ms, 7x their 20ms target. That's the usual and I haven't seen many lower measurements.
I haven't talked to him in years.
Under 65ms is pretty darn good considering everything that's happening, the distances involved, and all the hops. That's good enough for most people's gaming needs.
Woof, yea that sounds really, really dangerous.
Because people that use TikTok also move to new devices, so if you compare trends for downloads you gain information about relative popularity
That's a very much backwards incompatible change: password that used to work no longer does.

Sure, just put your 500M users through a forced-password reset.

Theoretically, it might also lead to weaker passwords depending on the hash size (that's how you support unlimited lengths by transforming a larger space into finite one) or any issues with the hashing algorithm uncovered in the future.

One thing to keep in mind is that the hash actually becomes the password, so I can imagine plenty of buggy implementations where a developer does not do what you advise ("proper password hashing"): "hey, it's already hashed, I can just store it as-is".

Do they not have fairly high turnover? It does not seem like it would matter for the employees if there were fewer jobs over time. It would just mean less hiring.
Take this wildly simplified example. You are the attacker. You already have access to internal systems at Microsoft.

Now you need to send the large amounts of data back to yourself, preferably without giving away your own location in the process. That’s the exfiltration phase of the cyber kill chain.

In order to do that, you’ve already established a set of listening posts and command/control sites across the internet. That’s your infrastructure. Setting that up in a pseudo anonymous way is hard, so you don’t do it often and may need to reuse it for multiple targets.

It’s that infrastructure that is hard to replicate if you’re trying to “look like” another threat actor on the Internet.

This is incorrect way to think about it. Because optics matter more than whatever skill may be involved.

Macbook Air M2, all over again. Best goddamn laptop I've ever owned.

I had a MacBook Pro Retina from 2012, which was replaced by a 2017 model through a warranty hack (though it worked flawlessly). The 2017 started losing keys on its 3rd keyboard replacement, but was really speedy still.

Then I got a 2017 Macbook 12" which was perfect for backpacking. I didn't like syncing two laptops so I gave the 15" MBP to a friend.

Eventually it struggled with playing YouTube Music while working, so I gave it to another friend.

...so I got the M2. Holy smokes is that thing good. It fixed everything wrong with the 2017 model AND improved things I didn't ask for.

I'm not a diehard Apple fan, but I'm a diehard MacBook convert.
