I think this blog post uses a lot of words to not say much; maybe useful as an exercise in burying the lede?

I read the whole thing and it matches what I consider to be important in observability ("Help me make a decision"), but the point is so spread out, and so diluted that I'm not even sure that it is there at all.

So, firstly, here's two easy and simple rules for technologists trying to satisfy the audience for the observability outputs:

1. If what you get out of the observability exercise/process/tools doesn't help make a decision, that's not observability, it's trivia.

2. If you're making decisions without any data or with insufficient data, then you don't have any (or have insufficient) observability.

Depending on the audience, different people make different decisions.

Secondly, here's a cheat-sheet to help: https://www.rundata.co.za/rundata/blog/chap2/content.html
> If enough intermediate steps lead to bad results and needed backtracking, but that erasure is not captured

That is a fascinating insight to me. I'm so used to the emacs undo record that I forget that others are not as lucky. I just take for granted that the entire undo history would be available.
From my experience this simplicity is something you pay the price along the way - development is harder (a good typing gives you a lot of hints about functionality and puts bounds on developers on how to use it) and more error prone (less stuff gets caught by the type checker, instead you find it out in runtime).

Of course it is good to be reasonable - some people completely fly off into the FP world and instead of actually building working stuff they think all day about some clever abstraction and types to model it.
I’m down 40%. Is it typical to purchase that far above the current price?
With an up to date AGPS database, GPS is quite usable. AGPS is also distributed as a service, though, often by companies that made the GPS receiver chips. If that were to fall away, you'd struggle to make GPS usable for phones.

You may not need Google for a GPS lock, but you certainly can't get a good fix without an external party. I've unwittingly tried this, when I saw a weird HTTP URL on my network being polled in the background; I blocked it in my Pihole and found out not much later that my phone's GPS started taking longer and longer to get a fix. Not "waving your phone 30 minutes at a clear sky" long, but definitely to the point where using Google Maps with cell/WiFi scanning disabled become very annoying.
> the rapid adoption of Apple's FindMy network (and the equivalent for Google) surely cannot have escaped your attention ? These serve to increase accuracy.

Do you mean Apple's and Google's Wi-Fi positioning databases? These are different from Find My: Find My is crowdsourced positioning of (themselves usually unconnected) trackers; the positioning databases are (at least partially) crowdsourced Wi-Fi (and maybe Bluetooth) signal to location mappings.
The one you’re commenting on will say things like they aren’t refugees, they democratically chose their current predicament, the civilian population is filled with terrotists and collaborators, they already turned down good deals for ending the conflict, and more questionable ancient oral tradition histories etc. Just useless to debate
The entire human experience is, in some sense, a delusion. You couldn't really survive without the delusion that you're a solitary, unitary entity that persists across time and not a temporary collection of vibrations in various quantum fields.
Canvas does have excellent performance, but I thought Google docs is built using some WASM stack
I've seen many clocks with either.
A significant number of bugs just end in 'stupid mistake I didn't notice' or 'weird behaviour with a fix described on SO/docs/forum post'. Current day LLMs are much better positioned to solve these issues than humans are.
Another interesting fact is that the blue whale is also the largest carnivore to ever exist-even though the animals it eats are very small.
> You may read a book (or as an LLM ingest a ton of training data) and think you understand it, or the lessons it teaches, but it's not until the rubber hits the road and you try to do it yourself, and it doesn't go to plan, that you realize there are all sorts of missing detail and ambiguity, and all the fine advice in that programming book or stack overflow discussion doesn't quite apply to your situation, or maybe it appears to apply but for subtle reasons really doesn't.

Pre-training is comparable to reading the book. RLHF, and storing all the lifetime prompts and outputs would be comparable to "learning on the job". There are also hacks like the Voyager minecraft paper.

The post-ChatGPT world has made me hypersensitive to the "AI smell" of bullet lists where each item ends with a fullstop. (Insert standard discussion points about whether it really even matters who wrote it, I only notice the obvious cases, humans have been spewing low quality content since the invention of language, ...)
Easy to write a summary that would risk being banned for ;) But that basically says it all, the user hostile and insulting behavior and his vendetta against projects he hallucinates at somehow being hostile to him - completely delusional - makes the project something that never should be on anyone's hardware, especially not something security relevant. That guy would have root.

But best to watch the video, there are a plethora of sources.

Last time I wrote something like that here someone else from GrapheneOS accused me of being unfair, since he is out by now - now I see the old maintainer writing in the name of the foundation and that he still commits to the project.
Not saying this is totally worthless but the magic of Airdrop is that people do NOT have to be on the same network and that it does not need any network infrastructure in the first place.

(To prevent rumors, I’ve never seen them mention arm support before… maybe someday)
Sorry no. If you are going to share an opinion at least share why instead of saying “multitude of reasons”. It’s like any other low effort comment that adds nothing.
It was probably using mobile network base stations. These can sometimes span quite large physical areas underground.

Additionally I'd assume they're quite hard to automatically update: The crowdsourced updates these databases depend on only work when at least one device has both a GPS signal and can see a cell or Wi-Fi base station, which is obviously quite hard underground.
My dad has fixed old pendulum and wind up clocks for years as a hobby. He also fixes old tube radios. There are half a dozen to a dozen clocks around his house at any time. Some have IIII and some have IV. I can't say I've seen one more than another.
No, US police can continue an active pursuit into another jurisdiction (even across state lines).

You also can't outrun the radio.
Yes, but its a proof of concept. It demonstrates that this type of attack can work. Whatever the reason is for (the LLM company) blocking the ("harmful") responses, this is a potential/plausible way to circumvent that blocking.

The second example in the article is much closer to being a realistically "harmful" response, I think.
> ... it is hard to deny that we are constantly nudged into certain grooves by algorithms ...

I don't see how that could impinge on freedom. We've been nudged into certain grooves by our emotions and instincts for as long as the species has existed. The "nudging" that corporations is exactly the nudging that evolution uses on us - and a huge number of the evolutionary nudges are stupid now (do I really need a fight-or-flight response to trigger in the middle of a meeting? No I do not. And all the instincts designed to operate in societies of 200 people are ineffective too. Why do we keep promoting tall people???).

It is also just a fact that our existences are close reflections of the society around us. "Freedom" in some sense isn't about freedom to act, but freedom to influence our environment, by direct control in the case of owning land and economic action or more indirectly through free speech to influence the culture in ways powerful people might disagree with. Which is why the government is generally an anti-freedom influence. People use it to lock the world into being a certain way; that way usually turns out to be a long way short of optimal and the cost to change something once the law gets involved is high.
It’s amazing what evolutionary algorithms will produce vs what an engineering mind will believe is possible
Thank you for the clarification; I read through the paper and thought I missed something.

Definitely any interesting area of development with papers like this and tools like Devin being released. Interesting times.
I don't consume often, haven't in years, but I remember having pretty wild dreams after, so I wouldn't get a good rest. So there is a difference with regular documentation?
Ah yes, the "don't talk about politics" approach. The one fundamental/procedural union of all with all, the thing that wretches all of us out from tribal/segregated animal existence. The biggest decision tree impacting our planet and the universe at large. That thing? Yeah just ignore it, if dad thinks killing the gays should be part of the law and I don't...well ya know, let's just lobotomize ourselves psychically so we never have to broach the truths of morality, ethics, justice, and never discuss the two paths humanity and walk down. Very well. Leave it to the others, what do we know anyways, it's not like we can do anything...
Sorry I stopped being a low effort comment kind of person. You shared an opinion, it’s not up to me to google it because your perspective is different than what might be found in a google search. If you don’t have interest in sharing your opinion don’t post a low quality comment.
I recently faced a similar hurdle with Nix, particularly when trying to run a .NET 8 AOT application. What initially seemed like it would be a simple setup spiraled into a plethora of issues, ultimately forcing me to back down. I found myself having to abandon the AOT method in favor of a more straightforward solution. To give credit where it's due, .NET AOT is relatively new and, as far as I know, still has several kinks that need ironing out. Nonetheless, I agree that, at least based on my experience, you need a solid understanding of the ins and outs before you can be reasonably productive using Nix.
I suspect it's by now a crowdsourced database as well: Updates seem to happen way too frequently to make manual car-based tracking plausible.

Skyhook might still be running the actual database and augmenting it with their own manual scans, though, but I strongly suspect that any Apple device with GPS is contributing its location data back to it.
So the people who lampoon "the crazies" on YouTube (for profit) are guilty of the same thing as the politicians who stoke people's stress and fear to gain a following?
Brain waves are approximately in the 1hz to 100hz range. While smartphone waves are much higher frequency. AC however is 50/60hz depending on country.

I am full aware of what some of the commentary was and have read the book myself. I don’t like SBF and I am not the fan of most of the books written by Lewis. I just expect more quality from a comment here, if you dont want to share the “multitude of reasons”, dont make the comment. Easy.
Perovskite solar cells: Vacuum process may offer short track to market
I wonder if one could combine a low-fidelity braille display (maybe with heat or vibration (piezoelectricity)) with touch sensitivity and context-sensitive tts in response to touching/reading the display.
I'd call that disillusionment with bad type systems, which are indeed unnecessarily complex. We have yet to achieve a typing "nirvana", but we're getting closer IMO.
Ok sure, but your use case doesn't necessarily imply that the "hi" message is sent without any surrounding context (ie, a previous message(s) preparing recipient for a call). My complaint was about a lone "hi", preceded by nothing, and followed by nothing (ie, putting the onus on recipient to respond to signal readiness to discuss... who knows what). It interrupts potential flowstate, creates an open loop, provides no hint as to priority, eliminates possibility of leveraging power of async comms to close a loop, and guarantees recipient comes into the future interaction unprepared. It only takes a few extra seconds to provide context ("hi, I could use help understanding X when you get a moment, ideally today"), so NOT doing that is, IMHO, either ignorant or rude.

Ehm. I thought this was going to be a review? It stopped right at the part we're the reviewing would start. It's fast and pretty, that's it? Pretty thin on details. What's the user experience? What's the use case? How much did you pay for it? I would love to read a full review, this just left me confused.
Performance per dollar has traditionally been the selling point with PCs.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Have you considered lucid dreaming or astral projection? The idea that you step into your dream and control yourself; that you can direct yourself in your dream state to explore whatever-it-is. You can go to places of your choosing, as you are not bound by the body.

If you look into these experiences, you find many people who say they learnt about parts of material reality, that they are then able to verify materially.

These ideas are highly intriguing to me. As you are someone with such a capacity for dreaming, you could certainly try these ideas out (ie explore in dreams then verify in reality), if you haven't already. If you have tried, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter.
There's a separate "WiFi scanning" setting that's enabled even when WiFi is switched off. Same with Bluetooth. This passive scanning is quite power efficient, so in practice you probably wouldn't notice that the WiFi is still powered.

I've experience this when a company I worked for switched offices. As soon as I got into range of the WiFi access points, my phone got confused. I'm pretty sure it was the WiFi access points + the IP address of the work WiFi's IP address.

It takes a while for location services to heal themselves. I run a VPN server at home, so ever since I took my phone and tablet to Amsterdam for a day, Google associated my IP address with that city, probably because my phone and tablet got so many data points there. I've seen it happen before, but that'll switch back eventually too.
There’s no evidence of any statistically significant increase of criminal activity.

They are arguing the opposite, that there isn't a statistically significant decrease, that the increase in homicides is the primary difference.
What Developers Found After Testing Devin AI
>Hardly! I know plenty of conspiracy believing nutjobs who could teach me a thing or two about cooking or even philosophy.

So they simultaneously hold delusions and reality-close beliefs/thoughts etc, as is common, but you describe them as conspiracy believing nutjobs. What I construe the article as saying is that we ascribe a negative tint to delusions, rather than giving them the benefit of the doubt that there is a meaningful reason that they have this belief and not just that they're nutjobs, it could be evolutionarily advantageous or cognitively economical or just the best explanation at hand in a short time-frame for their unique life-experience. What I mean is, since you're calling them nutjobs you're agreeing that calling beliefs delusional is not a neutral description. But I also get that you mean that they still have the capacity to produce and share knowledge, with the multidimensional example of some nonrigorous beliefs and some more reality-grounded beliefs or skills.

Vetting others beliefs is great, especially from crowds and people with authority.

Who knows if you're rational by saying those with least agency are those who care more about truth than clout, but I found this article inspiring because of the hopeful message of influencing reality, for example with the optimism-bias example, and so to try it out, maybe try challenging your belief that crowds are unconvinced by articles and that truth pursuers have less agency. Good journalism, if you can find it, does exist and meets these beliefs head-on. I admit that it could go the other way, your life experience could give you excellent reasons to have these beliefs and they could serve you well, but I don't have the lens to see it immediately.

I've had my fair share of delusions that turned out to be long term positive, because the world is complex and our minds small, if we push far enough we will discover more elaborate reasonings for good hunches that epistemologically initially were on unsure foundation.
I just became an AVX2 programmer for fun. You can too, if you go to the highload.fun group chat then I or someone else will suggest blazing fast ideas for every problem that happen to be about half as fast as our own approaches.
I decided to participate in your challenge and cleaned up your Nix code a little bit. It seems like the main task of the challenge is building a really small JRE.

I've switched to using a headless OpenJDK build from Nixpkgs as a baseline instead of Zulu, to remove all the unnecessary dependencies on GUI libraries. Then I've used pkgs.jre_minimal to produce a custom minimal JRE with jlink.

The image size now comes out to 161MB, which is slightly larger than the demo_jlink image. This is because it actually includes all the modules required to run the application, resulting in a ~90MB JRE. The jdeps invocation in Dockerfile_jlink fails to detect all the modules, so that JRE is only built with java.base. Building my minimal JRE with only java.base brings the JRE size down to about 50MB, the resulting (broken) container image is 117MB according to Podman.

I've also removed the erroneous copyToRoot from your call to dockerTools.buildImage, which resulted in copying the app into the image a second time while the use of string context in config.Cmd would have already sufficed.

I've also switched to dockerTools.buildLayeredImage, which puts each individual store path into its own image layer, which is great for space scalability due to dependency sharing between multiple container images, but won't have an impact for this single-image experiment.

This is mostly a JRE size optimization challenge. The full list of dependencies and their respective size is as follows:

/nix/store/b1fhkmscb0vff63xl8ypp4nsc7sd96np-openjdk-headless-minimal-jre-21+35 91.4M

There's not much else that can be done here. glibc is the next largest dependency at ~30MB. This large size seems to be because Nixpkgs configures glibc to be built with support for many locales and character encodings. I don't know if it would be possible or practical to split these files out into separate derivations or outputs and make them optional that way. If you're using multiple images built by dockerTools.buildLayeredImage, glibc (and everything else) will be shared across all of them anyway (given you're using roughly the same Nixpkgs commit).

This is like squashing ants and then the ants form a borg collective and turn you into larva food.
I think you need to go down the conditionals in order anyway, if cond* it’s like cond in that it evaluates the conditions top to bottom. So keeping track of “all the bindings so far” makes intuitive sense to me.

I also see a parallel to if/else if/else cascades. You can “break” and else if leg into … else { zzz; if (…) … } and then you can declare new variables at the zzz spot that are then available for the rest of the cascade.

I don’t know much about pcase and cond* so I can’t speak to the more general point. I just wanted to mention one specific aspect.

I miss emacs but as a Java developer what can you do…

I mean...............yes, you're right. But at the end of the day if the CPU is faster at the same energy used(I assume it is), then the end user won't care whether the CPU is 1, 8 or 128 cores(and why should they).

It's like people saying that Apple products are inferior because they usually have less ram than competition - and yes, that's technically true, but in practice it literally doesn't matter, they are still usually just as fast if not faster than competition with more ram - so why should the end user care.

I'm not sure what you're responding to here. Of course I wasn't suggesting making a system that is hard to read by touch. And it doesn't matter if the creator can see or not if it is better than the alternatives.
Honestly, I like that advice. Crime is a symptom of societal dysfunction, something law enforcement has no real way to combat. The conventional belief that the police can enforce laws makes no sense, you would need an officer for each person who might do crime which would be totally infeasible. It’s like applying 1000 bandaids for ebola. Until our governments take responsibility for their failed citizens nothing will change and in the mean time I would rather crime done to me be as safe as possible, which might mean leaving my keys out
