…this liability would not be able to reduce an individual's wealth to less than 20 million…

Why? $20 million is a LOT of money. We shouldn’t allow greedy sociopaths to accumulate even that much wealth at the expense of the rest of us.

The Sackler family is a good example. Why should they walk away with even $20 million (let alone the $11 billion they kept after negotiating a $4.5 billion settlement). It’s crazy.
Is there a better way to track D-Link EOLs? Would be nice to have this up at the endoflife.date.

I understand what a transformer is, but even without architectural changes they could probably utilize source-trustworthiness (if it was provided during training) to give better responses. During training they would learn that trusted sources help better predict factual answers where that is called for (i.e. in context of a WikiPedia page).

Personal experience would require architectural changes, not least online learning. No need to anthropomorphize - our brain is also just a machine, and we can use it as inspiration for what is missing to build more intelligent systems.

> Our economies and pensions etc. are built on the expectation of continuous growth

In countries with growing populations, yes. Look at the Japanese pensions’ expectations. They literally don’t need real growth as long as the population shrinks. The economies of scale of marginal growth aren’t worth it if you can’t consume all its fruits. On the other hand, economies of scale mean getting more with less: they are why the amount of materials and energy we require to generate one unit of GDP has broadly been falling over the years.

I have found that diagrams tend not to be worth their effort for data models and ERDs.

I spend far too much time either:

- working in a visual designer that slows me down

Or

- fighting the layout engine of a markup language and image compiler with lots of directives to try to get the diagram to lay out anywhere close to reasonably.

The most valuable information, to me, is the table schema and the collection of relationships. Toward this end, I use a markdown table of three columns, (Field, Type, Attributes) and a code block with my own shorthand per below:

Table[field] -1:N- Table2[field2]
Detail[HeaderId] -N:1- Header[Id]

All text, no generated pictures. If I need to generate from DDL, that's pretty straightforward. But I can also mock up new designs at typing speed.

Diffs are incredibly readable.

If I need to make pictures for someone else, I iterate design in a markdown file and then once it's good I will spend the time required to make a picture based off the text.

I must admit, I start to question why the pictures are necessary.
You think that if someone makes $20 million, then the money has been taken away from someone else? I see this sentiment on TikTok and Reddit alot, and it makes no sense.
You are conflating very different things. Go into any Whole Foods and there is an entire aisle of pills that are not proven to not create harm, in fact, some of them most certainly do.

Pharmaceuticals play by a different set of rules than other chemicals because humans are particularly gullible when it comes to health claims. "Snake oil salesman" is a common term for a reason. We don't let big pharma make certain claims without ample test data for a whole host of obvious reasons.

In this context we were talking about punishing people for "harming" without having proven that they've really harmed at all. This would be more like locking up all the Chinese restaurant owners for using MSG.

Your argument sounds like it is in bad logic.

Most of the comments here are highly disturbing, bring out the pitchforks. Its sad that this is on HN.
The cost of housing comes from a variety of sources. In most cases, for both new construction and existing housing, the largest line item is the cost of constructing the home itself. For new construction this is on average 80% of the cost of a home (including hard and soft costs), while for existing construction it's still in the neighborhood of 60-70%.

It’s only in dense urban areas that the cost of land begins to dominate the cost of new housing, driven by regulatory and zoning restrictions that limit how much housing can be built in a given area. Another way of looking at it is that in the areas that we need housing the most, zoning and regulatory factors are responsible for the lion’s share of housing costs.
> What is the actual evidence that justifies a complete ban, in your view?

That’s outside my circle of competence. It’s just interesting to note the predictable drumbeat of calls for jail time, even in cases where we forgot to make it illegal.
I've run in to exactly that. By putting my SearXNG on a machine that also does NAT for a busy network, this can be avoided. This is definitely one instance where IPs from a colo are a bad thing and residential IPs are a good thing ;)
True, we can and do make assumptions about quality based on our previous experience.

I don't see an equivalent approach that can be applied to LLMs.

I think that that was the implication. We should elevate the standard for new chemicals that might enter our body through the environment to a similar standard we already have for drugs (chemicals we deliberately put into our body.)

Why just $400K why not $800K? Why not $1.6M? $1.99M? Why not just a contract that you pay the college 95% of whatever you make above the median HS graduate salary every year? I mean they're letting you keep 5% of the earnings you're only getting because of them, you should be happy with that, right?

Just because $2M > $400K doesn't mean it's objectively worth that amount of money.
"We argue that exclusion relates to racialized images of masculinity and femininity"

... And yet they offer no data whatsoever to back this claim.
LLMs sample each next token from a probability distribution. So there's an inherent random process at work. As long as your LLM's "next Turing machine step" output token has anything less than 100.000% odds of being the correct one, you'll get mistakes and unreliability.

You could change your sampling to top-token-only. But (and maybe this is hand-wavey) I still suspect the incorrect token will be sometimes predicted on top.

> I'm not sure what the path to equatorial Africa is for example, but I can imagine it being bad and not direct at all

I realized that I didn't actually know, either.

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Te...

I don't know how credible this map is, but it appears to match all the others I was able to find in a quick image search. I picked this one because it's larger and shows more detail than some of the others.

It looks like equatorial Africa is reasonably well connected to the Americas and Europe.

I'm sure connectivity is crap once you get out of the large coastal cities, but on the other hand it's pretty crap in Alaska and the Canadian interior, too (at least before Starlink came along).
I fully agree. Stylometry is surprinsingly accurate (as proven on this very forum corpus) and would be quite involved to hide from.

> 2. Unidirectional end-to-end latency only applies to streaming data.

Agreed that his "across the world" example is a bit silly. Because he doesn't take into account the connection construction.

His primary point is still reasonable. How many services need world wide reach? Did you build it for multiple languages also?

If you're in the US. Or you're in the EU. A nice centralized server will have <=30 ms of latency to the entire region you are serving.

Edge is over valued unless you do have true global needs and then you have to also manage global database (s).

The post from 84codes clearly states a different motivation. If they want to focus their efforts elsewhere, that’s their decision. One doesn’t need to be “the provider” to count as success. It’s the whole point of staying small to mid-sized.

pm2 gets past involving containers

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here tbh. Nobody is arguing that wealthy and connected individuals in part maintain those wealth and connections by going to elite schools. Legacy admissions all but guarantee that once you're a couple generations deep you'll be able to at least maintain your family's status.

The question is whether a college charging $400K for what is probably closer to $70-80K of services is right.

Large enterprise firewalls generally do not allow true end-to-end HTTPS. The firewall masquerades as the destination sites using custom certificates, issued on-the-fly under a custom root CA controlled by the firewall, which is pre-installed on every device approved for use in the enterprise. Certain sites (e.g. banks) and certain users (e.g. C-suite) may be exempt from this by policy, but the default policy is to MITM all connections.
> no amount of incentives changes the fact that having a kid is a sacrifice

My thought here is that the types of incentive(s) matter more than the amount.

> I'd argue as nationalism rises in the rich European countries this study profiled, so too do you see birth rates slightly rise

This to me simply describes another type of incentive (albeit an incredibly challenging one to implement intentionally or well). It may be more abstract/fuzzy/undefinable but that's still what it is.

This example brings to mind concepts of culture, community, a stronger sense of social trust, and an expectation of support/assistance more aligned with the parents' values in raising a child. Now, all we have to do is come up with a form of 'nationalism' which works nearly anywhere but has fewer downsides... which is, of course, a difficult and unsolved problem.
The caching support is mostly the same. Both Earthly and Dockerfile are BuildKit frontends. BuildKit provides the caching mechanisms.

A possible exception is the "auto skip" feature for Earthly Cloud, since I do not know how that is implemented.
I'm not arguing that more tech advances create more jobs. I'm arguing that what we're trying to automate would be insufficient to obsolete many of the jobs people fear it could, even if successful. And I think that's a very big if.

Vehicles were quite unique in that they were capable of entirely replacing their predecessor for simple transportation tasks. But in e.g. software, the programming tasks LLMs may one day be able to carry out are but one aspect of the job. Getting back to janitors for instance, you're not going to replace a janitor with a roomba.
Setting the home directory to a special device node file "/dev/null" sounds like a good way to shoot yourself in the foot, and I've never heard of this practice before. On Debian, at least, it seems like setting the home directory to "/nonexistent" is more common.

For example, running "deluser" later could end up performing a "remove home" cleanup operation, and you certainly don't want to remove the /dev/null file.

SearXNG is great, with a few caveats:

Running it on a machine that also does NAT for many other machines helps to prevent getting blocked by upstream search engines like DuckDuckGo. It'd be good if access to certain upstream search engines could be sent through, say, a proxy set up elsewhere to prevent this very, very common problem, if you can't run it from an IP used for other things.

I'd like to figure out how to have a mode where my search is 100% literal - where every word I type must be in the search results exactly as I type them. Perhaps that's the equivalent of putting a "+" in front of each word, and putting each word in quotes? It's annoying that my words are constantly getting changed for me because there aren't many results, which I expressly don't want.

Like mentioned elsewhere, I want to be able to explicitly exclude certain domains. I get that SearXNG wants to be stateless, but I could either configure a separate URL for it or simply configure it for all searches. For instance, if I search for a PDF manual for something, I never, ever, ever want to see anything from "manualslib.com" and sites like it.

Other than these things which'd be nice to address, I'd say running SearXNG and encouraging people to use it instead of Google has worked quite well :)

That is sad since I used ElephantSQL in the very early days. A part of my developer projects is ElephantSQL. The closing down could be the failure to monetize cloud database model and to mitigate any risk from security point of view.
They provide Actions _runners_ because GitHub runners are quite expensive (per CPU and GB of memory) compared to the underlying cost of a Kubernetes node on most cloud providers or bare metal. Of course, that assumes you’ve already paid the cost to setup a cluster, which is not free.

Surely you're not implying that every person with a PhD in something is an excellent practitioner of that thing. Most aren't. They shouldn't be - their job is primarily research on that thing, and teaching that thing.

Not every finance professor can manage a multi-billion dollar budget, not every Political Science professor can manage a campaign or run for office, not every Comp Sci professor can maintain a university network, etc. Not to mention the fact that not every college will even have a professor for every discipline that you could theoretically use to replace an administrator.
Hamilton has introduced what he has called the "Principal Function S", which is used in his variational principle on which the Lagrangian formulation is based.

Nowadays this function is frequently called "Hamilton's action", though this is not a good idea because it causes confusions with what Hamilton, like all his predecessors, called "action", which is the integral of the kinetic energy.

The "Principal Function S", which is a scalar value, i.e. a relativistic invariant quantity, is the line integral of the Lagrangian over the trajectory in space-time, i.e. it is the line integral of the energy-momentum 4-vector over the trajectory in space-time.

Like any line integral of a vector, the line integral of the energy-momentum 4-vector is equal to the line integral over the trajectory of its projection on that trajectory.

This is why the Lagrangian is the projection of the energy-momentum 4-vector. Hamilton has found the correct form of this line integral in relativistic theory, even if that was about 3 quarters of century before the concept of 4-vectors became understood.

The "Principal Function S", i.e. the integral of the energy-momentum, can be considered as a more fundamental quantity than the Lagrangian, which is its derivative (the energy-momentum vector is its gradient). In quantum mechanics the "Principal Function S" is the phase of the wave function, so it is even more obvious that it must be an invariant quantity.

I wish Apple hadn’t dropped out of the router business. The only good replacements all seem to be considerably more involved, e.g. a full Ubiquiti setup or one of the more mainstream routers with third party firmware. AirPorts were excellent for shoving into a corner and not having to think about aside from the odd firmware update every few years.
So in essence, you want to use cloud providers UNTIL you need to scale? Isn’t that the opposite way round? Doesn’t it make it sound ridiculous, seeing as though the cloud providers were meant to help you scale?
Tomatoe, tomato. The E at the end of the word generally reflects hardening/lengthening the preceding morpheme (rid, ride; cloth, clothe).

This is a good example of how language evolves because tomahto has not ever been a correct spelling of tomato, and tomatoe is an incorrect spelling derived from making tomato plural into tomatoes and then (incorrectly) dropping just the s to make tomatoes singular again. A mistake based off of a mistake. So while intelligible if incorrect, who's to say if it's wrong?
I think "real" in the common sense is just too vague to really apply to things as abstract as numbers. 'Real' numbers seem real in a common sense because counting is a universal human experience. Adding in the imaginary plane allows for "counting" systems which have 2 interconnected components like waves, which also turn out to occur very often when you look at nature a bit more closely. Thus why you can derive all of trigonometry from Euler's formula. It just isn't a universal human experience to look at nature that closely yet.
I always imagine there is some sort of threshold for conscious impressions, which varies between people, but also during the day in a single individual. Like islands sticking out of the sea. The more engaged/synchronized the brain processes something, the more "mass" gets build up forming these landscapes. If you lower the water level the islands become wider, if the sea is turbulent the edges become less defined.
