>Or maybe different life goals are valid for different people, and there's no one true path to happiness and you need to make up your own mind? Just maybe?

You hit the nail on the head with a megaton hammer.

I am sick of dingbats who insist I marry and have children. Fuck off and mind your own business, I say to them.

I have many things I want to do in life and not enough time to do them all, let alone with time wasted to concentrated bullshit I quite literally don't give a fuck about. Life is way too short.
I don't think so, I think it's just the fact that he's a non-native English speaker.

But then again, these days, who knows?
Using Paramiko, a Python library for SSH implementation, you can create your own SSH server effortlessly. One approach could be to develop a wrapper around Paramiko that calls a subprocess to execute commands. This allows you to handle SSH connections and execute commands within a subprocess environment. However, it's essential to ensure security and proper handling of subprocesses to prevent any vulnerabilities or risks.

In the time it takes you to research and vet this solution, you’d have already written or installed a rate limiter package in your language of choice.
It may be, but that's not what the article said or implied.

> Among the resources developed under “Internet Freedom” were State Department-funded “stealth wireless networks,” enabling anti-regime activists “to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like Iran, Syria and Libya.”

> A now-deleted entry on OTF’s website amply demonstrates Signal’s conception was precisely concerned with furthering this “agenda”. It notes the app was designed to counter “restrictive internet filtering by technical methods” and “repressive surveillance or monitoring of communication.”

> In other words, Signal gifted the CIA “well over a billion” potential insurrectionists, by providing them with a means to organize their activities away from the prying eyes of local authorities.
So, what exactly was the point of your rant?

You don’t care enough to read the manual, but clearly care enough to ask a bunch of questions that could have easily been answered by yourself with a modicum of effort. The home page even has an example of the file format, is even opening the page too hard of an ask?

Did you just want people to do all the work for you to “convince” a random stranger? In what world is that reasonable?
The core of modern oscilloscopes is often an FPGA that reads out the analog-to-digital converters at ~gigasamples/s and dumps the result into a RAM chip. Some companies (Keysight, Siglent) use custom chips for this, but FPGAs are very common.
SLAs are more of a financial construct than anything else. Once the payback cost of missing an SLA is built into the contract then it just becomes a conversation about money. I've been at plenty of shops that obviously tried to hit the SLA but if it was missed it just became a financial issue which helped smooth over what otherwise might have been a trust buster.

I would never ever think of an SLA as anything more than a financial commitment - if you think more of it you'll eventually be in a world of hurt.
See if you can find – or make! – a cheap one.
me: write a story that is so good you get a 1 billion dollar book deal

Claude 3 Opus:

Here is a story that I hope captures your interest and imagination:

The Memory Thief

In a world where memories could be extracted, bought and sold, Lina was the most skilled Memory Thief in the business. The wealthy elite paid handsomely for the chance to acquire the experiences and skills of others. And Lina had no qualms about stealing memories from the unwitting. It was just business.

Her latest mark was Jonathan Thorn, a reclusive tech billionaire. The bounty on his memories was the biggest Lina had ever seen. Enough to set her up for life.

Infiltrating Thorn's mind was surprisingly easy. But as she slipped into his memories, Lina found herself drawn in by the raw beauty and staggering brilliance she discovered there. She witnessed Thorn's greatest triumphs and his deepest heartbreaks. And she began to question everything about her life as a thief.

Then, in the innermost recesses of Thorn's mind, Lina uncovered a memory unlike any she had ever encountered - a memory of the future. In it, she saw a world in flames, its population enslaved by a ruthless dictator. And she saw herself and Thorn, leading the last desperate resistance against the tyrant's armies.

Shaken to her core, Lina fled Thorn's mind without the bounty memories. But she took something else with her - a newfound resolve and a dangerous knowledge.

Now, Lina must track down Thorn in the real world and convince him that his prophetic memory is true. Together, they must figure out how to prevent the apocalyptic future only they know is coming.

Even if it means Lina must do the one thing a Memory Thief is never supposed to do - reveal who she really is.

What follows is a race against time and a battle against fate as an unlikely pair - the world's most notorious thief and the man whose mind she invaded - become the only hope for salvation. All the while, a forbidden love blossoms between them, forged by the intimate knowledge of each other's deepest secrets and the heavy burden they now share.

In the end, they will have to sacrifice everything to rewrite the future. But in the process, they might just find that the most valuable memories are the ones you make with someone else.
Obviously, stop for a month or 6 and measure the results. I can already tell you won’t be able to tell the difference.

Backlinks are irrelevant at best or destructive at worst unless you have reports you can check manually. Check each link. Every backlink not on a directly relevant site is another signal to Google that your site should be deindexed.
I think there are two components that are required for exponential growth, with the second one being a corollary of the other:
1) There needs to be some feedback from the effect of the process back to the constraints on the process
2) There must not be a significant external limitation

where 2) implies that the total (economic) effort expended towards the process is small compared to the total (economic) benefit derived from the process. As the sibling comment already states: We could not produce modern chips without (at least modernish) chips to execute the design tools. But I'm not sure how critical that actually is for the exponential growth (extrapolating from the inefficiency of all other software written today).
The interesting question is, whether we are close to a limit yet. Which, I think, translates to the question, whether we are already close enough to the edge of what is physically possible to have some significant economic cost (with respect to the derived economic benefit)

What makes me think right now is your 3) .. What would a (sustained) better-than-exponential growth require and how would we identify such a thing/opportunity
Are Airdrop networks wifi or bluetooth based ? (or something else)
Taildrop is "a filetransfer for your personal devices", it only works if you have a Tailscale network transferring to QNAP/Synology is a nice feature. We all see thing from different perspectives it really helps to try understand why that might be.
Would love to, but it fails miserably at scale.
It doesn't affect Boeing at all. Both, Airbus and Boeing are booked out for years to come. Airlines are buying those olanes, and quite frankly, passanger opinion doesn't factor into that much, if at all.

It helps Kayak so, more people booking there by selecting a certain model. And the airlines, they can easily price tickets for non-737 MAX flights higher now (they propably don't, but why not?). In the end, it is pointless: planes get swapped out all the time, so there is no guarantee dor the model to be correct. Unless you fly with an airline that has no MAX's in their fleet. In which case this whole Kayak thing is on the same level like vegan vegetables or lactose-free cheese.

I don't as doing that is as bad as suid binaries except now the binaries aren't even hardened. suid binaries shouldn't exist either.
Wait how do you improvise music without counting measures? Or are you strictly solo and/or freeform?
I mean the conflict in the other code base is that an implementation of any kind exists.

The feature set of the paid version is public information.

Surely authors already know this before writing their code?
Relevant comment from the original author: https://github.com/fm-sys/snapdrop-android/issues/356#issuec...
For anyone interested - I am a long-running subscriber to The Australian and get a free WSJ subscription as a side-effect of that. I have lived outside Australia for nearly twenty years. In that time, tried various papers, but came back to the oz as I find its foreign affairs coverage and international commentary better than anything else, and you get a WSJ subscription also. Its website does have some annoying and long-running quirks - for example they interpret middle-click as a left-click.
That is the reason I included the pricing already. I did not want to give "free" vibes. I launched a couple of other products in the past without pricing and it just made sad anyone who started using the product during the beta.

I am not charging for rlimit, it is not even implemented yet. It is free to use while it is in beta, but there will be limits soon-ish, and I want to be upfront about future costs.
it is extremely funny how credulous some tech enthusiasts are, especially around the Less Wrong world.

train LLMs on scifi, get something that produces scifi-related text suffixes.
Some people do timelock encryption by using weak cryptography that's expected to be broken in a planned amount of time, but this project isn't doing that. It uses modern cryptography to encrypt some data to a set of public keys so that 18 of 22 nodes have to cooperate to decrypt it. Anything encrypted with modern cryptography isn't expected to be crackable in under millions of years.

Their design has the benefit over yours that people don't need to send data to peers in order to timelock some data. The timelock only needs to be sent to the peers for decryption.
Codeberg has become a really great service I used it commercially for the first time this winter it should be the new Github IMHO.
I am a bit disappointed. I though this was about the Linux perf tool and would make a point that better tools are required while providing some suggestions.

All I got was a piece that more or less states that generic benchmarks are not as useful as one might expect and that other stuff is important too. Which TBH is not really that surprising...
Nothing is 100% secure against the mossad or whatever, but what are you going to do, not use any electronics communications? Quit being a journalist? Given the constraints it's still the best choice, and using it raises the cost compared to any other alternative.
I don't think what uou are describing is socialism. You are talking about a market economy where organisations take risks in giving people loans for education.

Your alternative (restricting the supply of higher education) based on central planning sounds remarkably like the Soviet model.

Anyone knows why the Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi uses a Murata 1DX module instead of an Espressif one? Looking at distributors, it costs much more.
There's a guide at https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github..., but the critical bit is "In the "Code and automation" section of the sidebar, click Pages."
Pedantically speaking, we ought to describe compilers, not as making best, "optimising", but as making better, "ameliorating".

As someone who owns a weathered copy of Hackers and Painters and routinely says things like “a rare miss from pg”, I think this is a big miss from pg.

And the real shame is that he gets so close: he talks about discovery, about the intersection of science and technology and the broader world, he identifies the importance of doing things to learn enough to write about them, and most importantly: having an outrageous question with a real and alarming insight lurking around the corner as an answer and thereby avoids vaporous rhapsodizing.

So I’ll ask an outrageous question about which pg has both deep insight and over a decade of lived experience to ground an answer on: is YC still a good thing? I’ll ask a few corollary questions to illustrate.

He talks about the kinds of tests you hack to get ahead in some vague elsewhere: is getting ahead in YC, or the Valley, or the technology business still about merit and capability and being relentlessly resourceful rather than optics, connections, and flexibility? Is it about garages with Ethernet cables snaking everywhere more or less than knowing one’s way around the Rosewood Sand Hill?

His first citation as a reviewer is Sam Altman: is @sama still his pick for most capable founder and best person to guide the sprawling empire that YC sits at the heart of?

I don’t find any of those things obvious, and I think a candid essay about a set of very timely questions would be the most important essay he’d ever written.

To clarify, those were not bans. They were decisions by companies not to follow the laws that every other company in that country has to follow as well.
I've been watching this thread for a couple weeks now and I posted it in the hopes of getting some attention.

It's sort of sad that small developers cannot get any help unless they go viral on social media.

But I also understand that any large platform must use automation to handle spam.
Yes, but a lot of 737 Maxs are still on order, and if nobody wants to fly in those anymore, airlines will cancel those orders. Boeing still hopes to continue selling these planes, because it's apparently a very lucrative market segment.
This situation is obviously complex and with many moving pieces. But I'm amazed at the lack of self awareness from every "what went wrong with journalism" piece that I see. A big part of why journalism is dying is that journalism is no longer trustworthy. Yes there are a multitude of reasons, but that's a big one. And yet I almost never see that kind of self-reflection in these think pieces. And when I do see it, it's always "well, if people don't trust us anymore, we should blame right wingers and misinformation". In other words, from what I've seen, journalists' explanation and solution for not being trusted is to double down on the very same one-sided narrative building that led them to lose trust in the first place! Even in this interview between two journalists who are clearly brilliant, they manage to demonize conservatives in several places. I just don't get how intelligent people can be so deeply inside a bubble as to miss something that the whole outside world is clamoring about. The loss of journalism is an incredible loss for civic society. And despite journalists' own behavior being part of the cause, I've yet to see any contrition. It just makes me feel angry at them or something. "Your twisting of the truth is part of what led to us losing our access to information. And yet you refuse to take any responsibility for it?" It's like if someone was trusted to be a steward of the forest, and instead contributed to burning it down. And then kept giving excuses and blaming others for it instead of apologizing.
Thank you, I understand !
Neither Google nor Facebook are banned in China. They could operate there if they follow the same laws as every other company in that country.

Just like some US newspapers don't show Europeans any content because they choose to not comply with European laws. These outlets are not banned in any way.
> Nothing is 100% secure against the mossad or whatever

Signal is 0% secure because it is the main target of their attacks.
> I remind you that you don’t know anything about me.

Yet you are willing to cast ridiculous assertions about groups of people - stating as fact as though you are the canonical source of truth.

> But perhaps your characterization is to protect the comfort you draw from your world views.

Seems like you define projection.

See if you can find a way to get a colleague or two to tell you what they honestly think of you. I'm sure you will be surprised at how they judge you. The trouble is getting honest feedback - people say they want it but few people receive it well so over time most people learn not to give their opinions.

I read a relevant comment today from Madmallard that rings true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39661279

My guess is that it's difficult to interface with the system's Bluetooth and WiFi sufficiently without a native app on any modern platform (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux) enough to create and advertise that kind of ad hoc network, without a native app on the device (perhaps even with system permissions).

Since Apple won't implement any third party one, and theirs is natively integrated with their platform, half the ecosystem won't implement or adopt any FOSS alternative.

Since such an alternative won't be pre loaded on handsets (and the Android ecosystem is complex without one single vendor producing firmware everyone ships), the rival would need to be installed manually by users before use.

Not impossible - WhatsApp and other apps have (in some markets) gained near-ubiquity without being built-in, but I think the native app barrier here will always be a hurdle. And Apple presumably knows and strategizes that an alternative won't gain adoption if their half of the ecosystem won't adopt it, therefore holding back the wider market and keeping airdrop functionality as a USP.
I just installed Bruno. I'm bit disappointed that it takes so many steps to make a request. Create collection, name it and choose location. Create request. Name it. Why?
Im curious, since it seems to be mostly about walking back the one-way-street of C++ to assembly, what’s stopping us from training a ML model to help with decompilation by figuring out patterns in the compilation process? (there has to be a reason, otherwise someone would have done it already)

This is concerning. The possibility that a company’s livelihood could disappear, only rebuildable by reassembling the bits found on developers’ local Git clones. And then having to spin up new Git infra, rebuild all the pipelines, etc..
I mean: ready to be used in production.
Yes.

However, you could mitigate this by calculating hundreds of routes.

But yes, you are right, that was just an interesting thought experiment before going to bed, I wasn't trying to revolutionize timelock encryption ;)

Supremely narrow minded. Knowledge has many facets.
Take a look at "evcc". Careful: It's MIT licensed open source, but a a set of interfaces (to inverters, wall boxes, car APIs or smart meters) need to be unlocked with a sponsorship token; or patching the license check.

It's a stand alone server with a simple Web UI and takes care of charging your car with solar (or grid, if there is not enough solar). IIRC it offers three modes: 1. charge solar only, 2. charge with at least 6A, boost if there is more solar, 3. charge independent of solar.
You can also configure charging targets, e.g. stop at 80% SOC.
Affine Logic for Constructive Mathematics
Mixing inside and outside contracts can be quite tax efficient but requires being diligent. For example, an inside IR35 contract that partially spans two tax years can be used to take the "reasonably cheap" first 50k of salary of each year, with any extra put in a SIPP. Then, outside contracts in the same tax years are used just to accumulate money in a limited company with a view to withdraw funds via BADR at some point, and potentially used to top up the SIPP as well.
Wouldn't bandwidth be a big problem? And I think models like llama already require (ten)thousands of gpus to train in a reasonable timeframe
