I don't agree -- process isolation is a simple, effective, and traditional mechanism. It has downsides (e.g. parsing and serializing), but they don't apply here.

Many mitigations work at the process level, like ASLR, cgroups, and more.

There's a reason that Chrome doesn't allow parsing and rendering in the same process:

https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/multi-p...

Something like the rule of 2 should apply to the sshd -> xzutils dependency -- it's inherently dangerous.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs...

Note that Firefox spent years of engineering effort to catch up with Chrome, retrofitting a multiprocess architecture.

Multiprocess architecture is demonstrably more secure, e.g. if you look at all the actual exploits from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn2Own
Sure, just like the relativistic effects of GPS clocks on Earth are predictable. But it makes clock keeping on Mars much more complicated, always making corrections. The corrections are always changing and syncing time is hard because the motions are always changing. Simplest solution is to use local atomic clocks. And then calculate Earth time when needed.

All for zero benefit because the Earth is variable number of minutes from Mars so there will always be variation. Mars day is different from Earth have to calculate Earth time anyway.
The difference is russia is ethno absorptive and israel is ethno supremacist.
It's because actions speak louder than words. The bombings Gaza has suffered is worse than Dresden during WWII. There is a famine in north Gaza. 30 000+ Palestinians have been killed. There is live footage of Palestinians waving white flags but still getting sniped by Israeli soldiers. The same soldiers that laugh while blowing up mosques and running over corpses with their bulldozers. When someone show you who they really are you should believe them.
Thank you! Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! Looking forward to your thoughts, and your contributions :)
The problem is convincing Congress to pull the plug on SLS. Even if Starship is able to unambiguously surpass SLS technically, lobbying Congress to cancel a program that spreads manufacturing work across most of the US and that involves multiple big defense contractors [1] is going to be a tough sell.

Why would they be? You don't get far with this kind of approach to valuable skilled human resources.
I think you're proving the opposite - like you said they have all the information so if they really wanted to kill all aid workers they could easily do that, so the fact that they haven't makes it pretty clear that isn't their goal.

You really think Israel coordinated with WCK for weeks now only to suddenly decide to kill a few aid workers intentionally? It makes zero sense.

And if you wanna go all conspiracy theory, why not just make it to look like Hamas killed the aid workers? It would be extremely easy for Israel to do so.
That's the irony, "if their costs go down", never happens.
Vulnerability Go-2024-2687
Yeah that’s the question I’m posing. In a fenced area they can’t escape. I presume they will default to dog behavior like in some urban parts of India (where killing dogs is considered cruel and not done). They form packs and hunt together. Is that better than killing them outright? I think so. They quickly default to killing birds and other small animals for food.
Executive comp and performance is interesting largely because it entirely depends on the counterfactual alternative, not actual outlook. There is bulletproof measure of impact, and it is subjective in the assessment of the BOD.

A CEO that oversees a loss of $1B could be doing a great job if you think the counterfactual was a loss of $2B.

A CEO that oversees a profit of $3B could be terrible if you think the counterfactual was a profit of $4B.

For the most part it is irrelevant to 3rd parties, because CEO compensation comes out of shareholder compensation, so it is their money to spend or throw away based on their assessment.
Perhaps try Matrix again? Element as a client might feel a bit sterile but the content is often anything but sterile, plus there are loads of other great clients too (Cinny, FluffyChat, Nheko, Fractal, NeoChat and more).
Precisely. I had HR literally acknowledge that my manager had objectively done NONE of the things they pledged to do, and that I had done EACH of them...

... and that they were standing by the manager's decision.

(I didn't expect any different, to be honest. I'm not that naive. But it was straight up acknowledged that the manager had been dishonest with both me, and HR, but because of their larger investment in him, that was the way they were going to go.)
It appears that XZ actually is in WUFFS!

This is really neat! I have questions:

“Needs tool usage” and “found the answer” blocks in your infra, how are these decisions made?

Looking at the demo, it takes a little time to return results, from the search, vector storage and vector db retrieval, which step takes the most time?
I wonder how unions will react to a world where a lot of essential software is developed by hobbyists.
Do you have any of the issues where ChatGPT tends to forget the first parts of it’s context window? It could have the information explicitly spelled out, but if it weren’t in the last 2K tokens or so it’d just start to hallucinate stuff for me.
Intermittent, yes. Expensive, no.

It's just not.

It's a bit more expensive in the US because, hey, protectionism, but solar panels are now by far the cheapest source of electricity on Earth if you don't care when that electricity is delivered, and cheaper again if you're happy to have it in the Sahara or northern Australia.

Solar power is now so cheap it is hard to conceive of any way nuclear power could ever compete against it where its advantages (24-hour all-year power) aren't relevant.

Terraform's secret sauce is that they are designing their equipment to be cheap so it doesn't matter that they're only utilising it maybe 30% of the time.
I'm saddened to see that Barth has passed, but I'm happy to see his work get some appreciation here. Coincidentally, I am currently reading a copy of "The Sot-Weed Factor" I picked up from a used and rare book store[0] located about 15 miles from his hometown of Cambridge, MD. It is as insightful as it is hilarious. I can't recommend it and "Giles Goat-Boy" enough.

My "yes, so?" is not that dismissing the issue, it is actually just looking at Twitter (and also Facebook) and thinking "how come using those platforms with numerous issues are not a 'policy problem?"

Twitter was hacked, the POTUS account was used to promote crypto scam, and this is not a "policy" issue?

Threads is owned by a company who has repeatedly involved in scandals about how data is handled, how is that not a "policy" issue?

I honestly don't buy this argument. If the government position was that nothing on social media should be "official" and this is why any presence gets less oversight, okay. If the position is that the presence is official as long as the participants adhere to govt guidelines, okay. But those same guidelines could be applied on a public-owned platform.

What I don't get is that they can claim that their presence is official while on the private platforms but are somehow unable to act in the same way if the platform was public.

Unless the laws of physics are fundamentally different in a way we currently do not have any experience with, then no, I cannot.

Because to cause physical damage to physical beings, you need to interact with them physically in an energetic fashion.

Even primitive people, with the right knowledge, can construct a test for the presence of a hazardous waste source (i.e. literal canaries in coal mines).

There are a number of methods available to 18th century technology which would be able to infer the existence of an energetic hazard even without fully understanding what it is, provided they were somewhat aware of the underlying principles.
They will sleep in a tent in whatever field or forest they find near sunset. They can stop at a campground or hostel every few days to shower and meet other travelers.

They will eat food bought from grocery stores and cooked on their camp stove or at the hostel.

They will speak English to most of the people they meet. Or use their phone to translate where required.

They will buy a used bike and continue on if it gets stolen.
Turmeric and Saffron are completely different.

Turmeric has an earthy taste

Saffron is mostly fragrance/smell. No idea what it tastes like. We use it in rice dishes or sometimes in my turmeric milk drink.

Edit: In other words, to figure out if something has saffron, you smell it.
It's like KYC laws.

It's both preventative, and it also becomes another easy to prove charge against people circumventing it.
> But for AI models, Optane may have an advantage: it's bit-addressable.

That's an advantage over NAND but not over DRAM. Fundamentally, DRAM is also bit-addressable, but everybody uses DRAM parts with memory cells organized into a hierarchy of groupings for reasons that mostly apply to 3D XPoint memory.
The article says 10% errors, is it possible you’ve transposed it?

10% still seems too high, but 90% would be absolutely nuts.
They grow it in Eastern Washington: https://cyrussaffron.com/about-us-1. And it is significantly cheaper than the imported stuff.
I actually don't think reading the docs like a book is efficient. I would just forget what I read, especially for those long detailed documents. I think it's better for me to locate the specific topic in the doc when I need it.
I've always used Google Play Books as my epub reader in my Android devices (since it came pre-loaded in my first device) and I thinks it's pretty sufficient. I also use Apple Books in my ipad well, because it was the default one. :D And it's enough for me too. What features do you need? Why do you think these apps are limited?
Svelte parses HTML all wrong
I don't think the US or Israel made any statements regarding the accuracy of the composition of the numbers. Only that the total ballpark numbers are more or less accurate. If you have a link to the US government statement about the breakdown accuracy of the numbers I'd be interested to look at that. Also this is extrapolating from previous rounds of violence and this one is very different.

Do you have a link to the officially published name, sex, age, ID, of all the victims so far, by date, in the conflict?

When large buildings are demolished by bombs and can't be excavated because of active violence what's the process for figuring out who potentially was or wasn't in that building? with all the refugees moving around the chaos how do you know if someone who used to live there is dead or sheltering somewhere else out of contact?

Hamas reports everyone as civilians (or doesn't make a distinction).
Difference is someone has to fire those weapons and that someone is responsible.
Isn't sort of like pulling the battery out of your carbon monoxide detector because the constant beeping is giving you a headache and making you sleepy?
Why call it capitalism as opposed to a free market? 'Capital' stands for money but the 'market' pressure is why these dark patterns emerge.
Nazi Germany is nothing like Occupied Palestine. Nazi Germany had millions of people's blood on its hand at that point. That is why it was "widely tolerated".

And your bring this up is a case in point of intelligence failure I alluded to. People may seem to "tolerate" mandated group think but we're still mostly Human beings and have empathy and can tell the difference between Nazi Germany and Palestine. At some point the silent consensus will be quite vocal.

Germans are still paying for their crimes in WW2 ... Something to keep in mind.
It's way better under socialism, where there are no up and comers.
While it might explain why humans prospered, it doesn't seem to explain why Neanderthals went completely to zero.
Reporting from al-Habbariyeh, Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr said young men were killed in the Israeli strikes that “totally destroyed” the emergency health centre.

Khodr reported: “This is not the first time a health centre has been hit in the ongoing confrontations along the border. We’ve seen numerous attacks against health centres especially in front-line villages and we have seen paramedics killed.”

I would not have found the call for funding help if they didn't point it out here:

I don't understand why there isn't a donate / sponsor button on the README / website to support development of this and instead it's hidden somewhere.

Maintainers it is perfectly OK to ask the public to donate or ask for sponsorships.

If xz taught any anything we don't want to be in that situation again.
Not always. I've done the color test on a lot of cheap spices I get in the middle eastern stores I can go to and they've always passed the tests. Sometimes it's cheaper because you're not paying for it to be portioned into little glass jars and sold as an exotic, rare thing like it is in western european cuisine.
I once talked to Tom Christian, the ham radio operator, years in my youth.

I have friends, also hams, that have travelled there for a DXPedition: https://pitcairndx.com/.

It is seriously remote.

[edit]

More detail about the island: https://pitcairndx.com/the-island/.

Transportation was by the ship Braveheart, one that often takes hams to remote places. https://pitcairndx.com/transportation/. One fun thing that they did was EME operation, a technological challenge bouncing signals off the moon https://pitcairndx.com/eme-2/

One island that has been very difficult to operate radio from is Bouvet. Landings are difficult, and one team travelled all the way there at great expense but had to turn around as rough seas made landing impossible.
It’s disgusting that such a large portion of the tech sector is laser focused on finding new ways to exploit kids.
LLC’s a privilege granted by the public. It’s a creation of the voters’ government. It absofuckinglutely should come with a right for us to know who’s benefiting from our permitting such an arrangement to exist.

Don’t like it, don’t incorporate.
Any numbers though? I think about 260 Hezbollah fighters have been killed. how many civilians? 1000? 10000? 8?

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Hezbollah_confl...

484 fighters killed

53–63 civilians killed in Lebanon
15 Syrian civilians killed

This seems like a more than acceptable ratio between civilians and combatants in a war, no?

It's worth mentioning Hezbollah is the entity that started attacking Israel after Oct 7th and is also in violation of security council resolution 1701: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Counci...
I think it's pretty well explained above, costs grow, unexpected things can happen, things you use wear out, and the market you're in will change over time. If you don't grow at least a little inflation will drown you in rising costs. If you don't grow a little you'll be less resilient to costly shocks. If you don't grow and preferences change, you'll be stuck producing something no one wants anymore. Any of these things can kill a firm. Growth allows you to reinvest and adapt.
I heard from Apple there are actually 5 Apple App Stores. Are they all down? What a coincidence. /s
Yes this may be the deciding line.
> No it wasn't, let's not start spreading misinformation.

This website ("hacker" news) should really be renamed "confidently wrong"; just like smcin's laughable assertion. HN is a propaganda site run by billionaires who editorialize and moderate it to promote their own interests. It's infested with this type of confidently wrong know-it-all. You know what's worse than a pedant? An incorrect pedant. And this site is stuffed with them. It's a Dunning-Kruger hall of mirrors.

Thank you. Branches to explore different approaches is a really good idea, since LLMs are most powerful when they are used as a rubber duck to generate boilerplate templates and this can help get multiple perspectives. Going to test it soon.
You mean like the reply depth limit in forums like YC.

Shouldn't you stick to a depth-first branch reply limit until moving to the next fork.

I want to respect your beliefs. =)
Yes, if you think about actions rather than labels it makes sense. Otherwise every office worker in Israel would be a legitimate target too.
> Satozuki Limited B.V., Studs Entertainment Ltd., and RBLXWild Entertainment LLC are additional defendants in the lawsuit

What surprises me is that sites whose entire business model is blatantly unlawful feel so immune to legal consequence that they go as far as establishing legal business entities

All of these sites are breaking both gambling laws and Roblox's own TOS, but feel so immune to consequences that they'll happily trade in the open like any legitimate business would
I have a Greek friend who's family goes into the mountains and picks it. There is no market infrastructure in the villages, similar to how venison is expensive at a restaurant, yet poor rural hunters kill and eat it all the time.
I think anyone that works in the AI field is going to really need to have their head on straight to even be able to just emotionally deal with things like this and who knows what else to come.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to just like the idea of AI, study, get a job writing some Python, then one day wake up and learn you have quite a lot of blood (indirectly) on your hands.

Like either you need to become the kind of person that doesn't care, or one that learns to live with a lot of ambient guilt hanging around. Not sure which is worse.

Honestly feel so much for the ten thousand bright eyed, intelligent nerds eager for technology and the future. I know they will be compensated well, but that won't ever balance out what will happen to their minds one way or another.

But this is an old story at this point I guess.
Geez. Simply the trajectory changing twice in flight rules out rockets and makes is pretty clear it was a directed Interceptor. But the fog of war is thick so we'll probably never really know. So sad.
The permitting fees and time to open a restaurant in SF are astronomical. There is also a finite amount of space in SF, so the owner can collude or otherwise engage in price fixing using his existing market position. also, the owner can drop prices and sell at a loss or near loss and force you out of the market if you somehow manage to get the permits.
Roblox in particular has a ... storied history of exploiting children [1, 2] for both direct and indirect profit.

Unless you game, Linux is very good. I’ve been using it for 4 years and it’s much more stable than others make it out to be. You do need to be careful not to mess things up though. Accidentally broke kernel modules yesterday and had to spend a few hours debugging without internet
Since when has war ever been tit-for-tat. Since the beginning of time, if a nation where to attack and make war with another nation, they had to measure carefully the consequences if they were to lose... because losing meant losing everything. This is no different. Russia attacking Ukraine is no different. No one is tracing and counting every bullet Russia fires and certainly no world court is saying anything at all to Russia… or to Turkey, or Iran, or Syria, or anyone else… except for Israel. Gaza attacked Israel and like any nation that goes to war, they will either win or lose. Consider carefully before declaring war against your enemy…. Everything is at stake.
What aspects of his personality would you suspect?
I think you first need to define "volume" as a bunch of simplices put together, or the (-1)^{...} term is unmotivated.
It also doesn’t require the government granting the privilege of incorporation.
I agree with you, it makes good business sense. No doubt. I'm merely positing that Intel executives are not used to doing business as integrators. Their core business has always been that of a supplier.
I haven't seen LLMs do anything more useful than generating a wedding speech in the style of H.P. Lovecraft and there are people out there earnestly predicting this technology will increase efficiency 10% across entire economies. I genuinely feel like I'm living in a different world to you all.
Thanks :)

Die LLM makes these decisions on its own. If it writes a message which contains a tool call (Action: Web search Action Input: weight of a llama) the matching function will be executed and the response returned to the LLM. It's basically chatting with the tool.

You can toggle the log viewer on the top right, to get more detail on what it's doing and what is taking time. Timing depends on multiple things:
- the size of the top n articles (generating embeddings for them takes some time)
- the amount of matching vector DB responses (reading them takes some time)
that was the whole reason this was caught this early, because Andres Freund was runnig Debian Testing (or Unstable)

That makes sense, but is a bit misleading (on the part of the article) if true -- you'd have to be pretty lucky to have your water consumption needs exactly match the heat capacity of the system.
Does that change anything though?

Yes, unfortunately in the python case the standard library's json parser has no way to configure a reasonable limit. It'll just consume stack frames until it hits the interpeter's recursion limit. And, as has been mentioned elsewhere, python stack frames are expensive for a variety of reasons.

I've run into similar issues with recursive code in java. The story gets better in C or rust, but there wre still sharp edges. I guess there are sharp edges everywhere though...
Given their system is in the decision tree for operations any war crime committed during the course of said operations should apply. Did you want an abridged list of likely candidates? Because I just finished spending an hour poring over ICC Article 8 and the Geneva Conventions and I have copypasta on hand ready to go.
