The focus on the first S is good, yes, but SSH has another S and an H that needs focus as well.
I really like the way the author explained RCU!
I always use a proxy to my VPS when browsing the web since ~2013 when my ISP Comcast started (and never stopped) it's MITM attacks which inject javascript into HTTP sessions' HTML. This behavior would be illegal for most entities but Comcast is a big enough corporation they don't have to follow the law (CFAA).
“Burn” is a commonplace synonym for oxidization, that is, adding an electron. Likely the GP is “eating the books, and thus is warmed as a consequence of the Krebs cycle.

We can be glad for GP that these days it is uncommon to encounter a book with a CD or DVD attached. I’m not sure those are safe to eat.
Good point. Nothing is without risk, and it doesn't always lead to success. Every jump, impulsive or calculated, has its own set of outcomes and consequences, and it's important to consider both sides.
Friday's when we all work for the government anyway (the last 20% of the workweek). ;p
When I worked on S3, I was briefly responsible for reporting waste in the system. The basic equation was [Total Capacity of Hard Drives] - [# of bytes customers are paying for] * [Replication factor] = Waste

One week as I was preparing the report, it was clear something had gone haywire. Waste was roughly equal to total capacity. So either we'd lost all of our customers overnight, or there was a bug. Turns out the legacy billing system was using a long to count # of paid bytes and this had overflowed. So it does happen.
True, the Dharmic masters didn't have printing presses.
OpenSSH has a much smaller attack surface, is thoroughly vetted by the best brains on the planet, and is privilege separated and sandboxed. What VPN software comes even close to that?

The only software remotely in the same league is a stripped down Wireguard. There is a reason the attacker decided to attack liblzma instead of OpenSSH.

Fleabay (eBay) is the world's largest online flea market.

If you can find a way to run a large online flea market and not have as much theft, counterfeiting, and fraud as fleabay does, please let us know.

The law requires fleabay to do what they can to reduce theft, counterfeiting, and fraud.

In my experience, the cure is usually worse than the disease. The manufacturers' first and only response is usually criminal price fixing.
Like many things, looking a little more uncovers a little more.

This statement is still generally true of Brother, even if they have a few printers that might not be. I sincerely doubt all of their printers are compromised that are currently on the market.

Considering the number of years someone keeps a printer (5-10-15), finding one that is still not locked in some way is not difficult. It's just up to the buyer to be informed.

It's not new either.

I had an ancient IBM 4019 laser printer for years. Still would, if my better half had not asked if I really print black and white that often. 15,000 pages per toner cartridge which would make people blush. This was at a time where HP Laser printers were cheap, invincible and easy to refill.

The other side of this is to simply invest in an eco-tank/big inkjet tank printer. Brother has them. Epson is really worth considering.

I purchased an Epson ET-8500/ET-8550 after looking at what kin of printing I might be doing long term (more photos than I ever had), and it's been a nice.

Stop making software open source, start making it closed source and charge for licenses.

That works! Unfortunately it's bad for open source.
Well, this also discounts the whole "is a problem for the types of guys found in phd programs" thing. Yeah, a large majority of guys would like to sleep with women. It's not just a factor of, "does my wife expect me to not fuck around", and is significantly, "is there anyone in my life that i can actually have sex with". Loneliness is a big deal and for a quiet and introverted, private guy having a wife raises the potential partners from 0 to 1, an infinitely higher amount.

Yeah, if you have the body type and personality type and time and willingness to seek out and sleep with random women then go for it. But just because you don't fit that bill doesn't mean you don't need sexual comfort in your life. (I don't believe you said that, but it's a useful statement for me to make)
Actually just saw news that they’ve wrapped filming on season 2 of Silo and they’ll be airing 2025. :)

I loved Silo and while different I love Shogun so far. Great series.
Works well for pillowcases as well.

I almost never use atomic reference counters, when I use them at all. A major point of using thread-per-core software architectures is that it eliminates almost all atomics even in highly concurrent contexts that may require reference counting to manage resource lifetimes.

In these cases, your concurrency primitive is essentially a coroutine, either with or without its own stack. You may have thousands of these executing concurrently similar to as if they were multithreaded and using locks or atomics, but the execution is always on a single thread so locks are unnecessary and atomics can be elided entirely. In the rare cases where atomics are used, there are almost always at most two threads accessing them.

Basically, the only place you see atomics are the very thin and lightly accessed interfaces between threads, which are about resource control rather than true thread concurrency.

I have used these types of architectures on diverse high-scale server apps. The places I’ve had to use atomic reference counters were always extremely limited and largely outside the hot path.
Yes, correct, and that fetching operation is a non-blocking operation, once we dequantize the weights we discard it before moving to the next layer.

Technically, you can do it for the weights as well. But that wouldn't work in many situations. For example, when training with FSDP: the quantized weights stay on the device but you can still offload the meta-data (https://www.answer.ai/posts/2024-03-06-fsdp-qlora.html)

I would like to re-iterate that larger models, which would be more interesting to run at low-bits, are much less sensitive to quantization compared to a 7B. So you could potentially use a larger group-size and just keep it on device, like what is done with 4-bit and 3-bit now using a group size of 64. We just started running some experiments with a 13B llama2 and it looks very good so far (outperforming some full-precision llama2-13B-based models), let's see how far we can push it, ideally get-rid of the reshaping all together will be great.

Even though it’s incredibly different on the surface, Severance comes to mind because it’s also a world-builder with interesting mysteries.
Reddit is such a toxic hole anyway. It's all posturing, stupid cutesy language, and victim mindset. I'm so glad the site got awful as the content - we're all better off without.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The brain's tendency to conserve energy does play a part in substance addiction, reinforcing behaviors that provide a high reward for little effort. However, this model overlooks the complexity of addiction, which involves not just the pursuit of rewards but also the avoidance of withdrawal discomfort.

The conversation around addiction would also need to consider the neurological changes that perpetuate the cycle, making it a state that's incredibly challenging to break free from.

However, I can't specifically speak on physical addiction, as it's outside my area of expertise. The intention behind my writing is to unpack my own thoughts, aiding me in my journey toward self-discovery and the pursuit of purpose.
> In docker and vagrant you do it the same way, the hash of the specific artefact.

No, in nix you pin the commit hash of nixpkgs, which gives you the exact same package set every time. But with a Docerfile, even if you add it to your project's repo then any `apt-get install something` will still give you a different something depending on when you build the image. In nix, you always get the same something.

> That is why I wrote about the specific exception for CI

I meant that you keep the dev environment the same as CI because if you develop in a different environment than the CI then whenever CI runs then you'll get new issues (because you weren't using the same environment).

I was bored and watched a few episodes. IMHO it was a sci-fi cliché. A context about my tastes in my IMDB rankings [1].

I don't watch many series but I think the sci-fi one Severance (2022) was really great. Also the Three Body Problem is very good (haven't read the books). Nowadays I am very entertained with Tokyo Vice and Shogun. I watched "The Fall of the House of Usher" completely but beyond the excellent production it is void (I am a Poe's fan). Ahhh, before I forget, I really enjoyed The Peripheral (2022). Older, but excellent: "The Main in the High Castle". The first chapters are a bit slow but you should pass them to truly appreciate the terrific acting of Rufus Sewell and the series.

Let's see their (lack of) customer service sleep that off.
And this is the kind of convoluted situation that happens when you have software that can never, ever break backwards compatibility.

It is probably entirely necessary to do it in this particular situation, but when people argue for no software ever breaking backward compatibility, they're arguing for more and more convoluted solutions like this. There's always a cost.
FWIW, -C has precedents: `make` and `tar` have the same option with the same meaning.

From the blog post:

> Very large-scale distributed systems, like ours, demand that time be well-synchronized and expect that time always moves forwards. Computers traditionally accommodate leap seconds by setting their clock backwards by one second at the very end of the day.

Not quite "always forward".
VM centric development seems so wasteful to me especially doing it on your hacker home lab. Say you have six cores, overprovision 3x, that leaves you with 18 vms each running One Thing in the vm ethos. Meanwhile, open a pc or a mac and see how many services are running on the bare metal, its probably over 100 and not even impacting you. The author wants you to run parallels to run vms on macs… its madness
I used Vagrant and VMs heavily for customer projects between 2013-2016.

Added benefit was mainly some sort of workspace isolation since you could simply “vagrant in” you different projects via WebStorm/PHPstorm in parallel.

I was given a MacBook Pro 13” with then massive 16gb exactly for this reason: to handle VMs via Vagrant.

Before that, everything was kind of tricky and fragile, mostly relying on a LAMP stack without isolation.

Vagrant was fantastic at the time for the job.
Having read the Wool trilogy a few years ago, I had no idea this was in production and happily stumbled upon it. The series is a fantastic adaptation and a fully realized world.
Hell no. "Put off living until you're 60" is the hypercrunch polar opposite of "live a balanced life at all times".

They would because the communications involve 2 parties. Your consent to someone snooping on my calls with you should not be enough, because for example, you still need my consent to record calls I have with you.

Now, Meta decides to MITM the communications that I intentionally encrypted so that it can gain a competitive advantage…well, remember when meta kicked out researchers what had obtained consent from users to perform research on its platform? That was not even illegal. This is.
It's not a big deal if other companies have your data. You're free not to value your private life, but please don't extrapolate to other people.

What data? Where I live? My phone number?

Which people you interact with, and which people you'd go to great lengths for to help them. Where you sleep, and at what time you wake up. When you're at home, and when it's safe to ransack your house. What your pressure points are for manipulation. What route your children use to go to school. What ransom money you'd be able to pay out-of-pocket.

Then what benefits does the MIT license give in that case?

That's a fair argument to make. But it's not the one that was being made upthread.
Simpler decision tree:

Choose Postgres by default. Choose MySQL only when you have a specific requirement that cannot be satisfied by Postgres. Choose document-oriented only when there is a specific requirement that cannot be satisfied with a jsonb column in Postgres. Choose column-oriented as a secondary data store that ETLs from the primary (preferably Postgres) when you have to run high volume analytics.

Can confirm Severance is phenomenal. Shogun is just as good. I'm extremely impressed with Shogun actually. I haven't seen good storytelling like this in years.
I don't think I would call that bored. It's say this project let them grow enough that they realized that what they really want is something different than what they're working on.

But to me "bored" sounds like a bad thing, so maybe I'm just arguing semantics.
Using LTS distros can shield you a bit. Slackware uses lzma (tar.xz) for it's packages I think, and beside of -current, the last stable release didn't have that issue. Also, if you want a step up on the freedom ladder, Hyperbola GNU neither had that issue.

EDIT:

Also, Slackware -current neither doesn't link sshd against xz, nor uses systemd.
Ask HN: Scam IT Consulting Firms?
I follow the classifieds in my local newspaper (Raleigh, NC in the US). There have been several IT consulting firms (in past several months) that have legit looking job postings offhand, but when I go to their websites they are quite bad. One you had to snail mail resume (and website had various levels of neglect), today one had a http website and lists a shared office space as mailing address.

Are these some type of scam? I cannot figure out the scam though exactly. All I can guess is some type of shell company (to maybe spread out H1Bs and avoid dependency status?)

Or I am just overestimating the level of competence people whom outsource IT and they have legitimate contracts. The websites smell like Nigerian scam email level bad to me, so I just have a hard time seeing that someone looks at the website and actually pays the group to do anything related to IT.
This is similar to MUD style programming, just reduced to a poor minimum:

No idea how to actually play. "You can only place tiles touching your dock or your existing tiles". When you first play, there's no other tiles to touch. Trying to place a tile next to 'my' dock... shows that error message. There's only one or two places to drop a tile, and it's preventing that. :/

EDIT:.... hrm... so the tutorial always shows 'me' at the bottom'. Apparently, I'm at the top, and my 'dock' is at the top. That's a confusing way to start something. Relying on 'color' of tiles alone is just.. this was aggravating.
Ya know, that makes sense and all. But I'd want to be careful about subtly implying that doing nothing but your research and forgoing personal relationships in favor of work is _better_ than having a life and a little worse thesis. Most of a career in research happens after the PhD anyway, is it possible those "This is my life" people do worse later on, when their potential contributions to fields would be maximizing?

Having a life is an okay thing to want, if for no other reason than the people who are really crazy for it and want nothing but math research aren't going to listen to anyone about relationships anyway. If you find yourself seriously considering turning it down a little bit to find other avenues to personal fulfillment then you might not be one of those crazies and i think that's okay, maybe even better
You could
Make them supply a test case that unlocks the escrow.

This both makes a bar that the bug creator has to pass, filtering some of the drive by time wasters, and gives a reward to the developers for fixing it.
Yeah I think this is the common case. I think we usually trust that dependency A took a look at their dependency B and C before releasing a new version of A. And even if properly reviewing our bump of A, how often do we check out changes in B and C

Edit: yes for FAANG-ish companies this is usually a bit different, for this reason. And licenses..

No matter what excuse you make, you’re still being part of the problem.

If you could do the same on HN would you? How is your action not petty and trolling?

And exactly how was Reddit suppose to be an ongoing concern without monetization? Were you going to donate to them? Provide free labor?
What an arrogant and reductive thing to think, let alone post publicly.

I have a hunch that you are very young, very single, or most probably both.
> The focus, he said, would be on how he’d missed it…

I’m glad they included this. It casts the former lab director in a good light. Of course I have no idea how he previously treated her.

I find the opposite is more typical: not acknowledging one’s own failures.

Also (related to a story a couple of days ago) don’t normally like these kids of bio stories but I liked this one.
My only complaint about Silo's adaptation is that it leaves so many things mysterious for so long, things that the books make clear in the earliest chapters. Also, the entire season is roughly half of book 1, so I'm concerned it will be canceled before it gets through the entire series.
Don’t people have partners, kids, aging parents, hell even pets that depend on them?

The authors version of being stuck seems like a luxury, an inward exploration to find out how you are holding yourself back. To even approach it from that angle you need to have no one depending on you. I can’t “shake things up” by trying a new career or taking impulsive vacations because other human beings rely on me being “stuck”.
