The goal isn't to cut access. It's to cut access for children. And again, just because they can find a way doesn't excuse businesses doing exactly nothing to avoid serving them as customers, which they know is already illegal. Most children don't have the means to buy VPN access. There are also off-the-shelf routers that block common VPN protocols (though that may mostly only exist for business tier equipment right now).

Reddit is exactly the type of site that demonstrates the need for some regulation. They have major forums targeted at children (e.g. teenagers, roblox, minecraft) with millions of members, but half their site is porn, and there is no barrier between the two. You'd need to MITM and inspect which forum someone is on to figure out if it should be allowed.

You could say "just block the whole site", but if pornhub had a porn-free comment area labeled "teenagers" (for teenagers to discuss with each other, not for inappropriate images of teenagers, though reddit infamously had that too, and made a special "pimp daddy" trophy for the moderator that ran it), people would reasonably ask why a porn site has a kids section, and demand that even if the business wants to be in both spaces, the websites must be separated.
How do you feel about using pm2 inside of a container?

At work, most of our app is docker-composed in one VPS (early B2B product with few customers). I would like to have the multiple-process benefits of PM2, but I don’t want to spin up a whole load balancer for it, or split the node service from the other services. Everything is so simple right now and I’d like to keep it that way lol.

Last time I googled this I found conflicting opinions, but if I can just stuff PM2 into my node container, I’d be a happy dev!
You would assume that…
Reuters claimed multiple sources and documents from project managers telling workers to wrap up the project and document it for "lessons learned." I tend to assume on a story of this importance Reuters is operating in good faith and the quotes from those documents aren't fabricated by the reporters. And those quotes seem pretty definitive.

This doesn't mean the reporters understood everything. Musk could easily have disputed the reporting by providing that extra context (e.g., "we changed the project name, Reuters is simply taking some isolated emails out of context") but he chose not to do that. I'm generally open to the idea that Reuters got something wrong, but the claim here isn't that: I'd have to believe that Musk is credible and Reuters is deliberately lying.
Holy smokes, that's the coolest thing I've found out about recently.

I'm trying to wrap my head around where this sits within the OS. Is it a layer "on top" of everything? Or does it sit "underneath" the higher level os functionality?

Apologies if that doesn't make any sense, it looks to be a really cool tool and I'll be investigating it regardless.
Open-source XYZ nanopositioner for precision analytical applications
I wondered about the name of that function: surely it isn't inverse square root? That would be "squared". It's "1 over square root" or something. So down the rabbit hole to see if it was always called that. Yup, in Wikipedia articles at least, but the first paper seems to be by Jim Blinn in 1997, without the term in the title. So let's read the paper... Frustratingly, although I am an IEEE member, and I did subscribe to Computer Graphics and Applications in 1997, it won't let me read the paper without paying again. So curious to hear from folks knowledgeable in the space if this was a mis-naming that stuck or I'm confused about the meaning of "inverse". In my universe we used inverse in the context of functions and their inverses, and "invert" in the context of binary values (1s compliment of x is also called x inverted). Never to describe reciprocal.

I no longer buy this argument these days. You don't need a "heavy" argument to avoid Teams, you need decision makers who can listen to teams other than the bean-counters.

Sure, it has integrations with the broader Microsoft suite and productivity ecosystems making it easier to approve if the org is a M/O365 org. However, this is not a universal state (Google Workspace, Zoho Workplace, etc), and if the decision maker actually cares about communication efficiency then Teams would never be part of the discussion. There's such a wide field for messaging and calling applications, just going with "easiest bundle that ticks boxes" is rather poor thinking (not that I'm expecting much from C-Suites these days).

I currently have to use Teams today across macOS, Linux, and Windows... personally, I would welcome switching to Google Chat (used at last gig) over this mess.
Shooting from the hip here I’d say $800 would be a good start for all new parts. You might get down to $500 with used parts.

The most expensive piece in either build is a video card. You want to be able to load the LLM file into your video card RAM.

I just got a 16gb new card for this. I can load up to 34b models on it but poorly. Anything 13b or less runs perfectly. A 12gb card would be able to run 7b models and with the right training I think 7b models can be awesome.

I like this, but it makes me sad: there would be no point to this if RSS was still widely supported by both the publications and clients. You could subscribe to the ones you want and read them with the local formatting you want. That was the case ~two decades ago and we've fallen far.

Sure, RSS readers do still exist, but they are anything other than brutalist. Janky UI/UX combined with rent-seeking subscription models, ultimately doing little or nothing that your native client couldn't have done.

Don't get me started on the fact that apps like Feedly are now trying to add AI/ML to the mix, entirely missing the point that if I'm using an RSS reader it's because I want to be the one to choose what I read and how.

Then even if all of that wasn't an issue, most publications wouldn't want to make it any easier to avoid their advertising and tracking interactions.
> Having said that, Marmite is clearly vastly superior and has a deeper umami taste than the slightly fake industrial plastic taste of Vegemite.

Huh. I'd say Vegemite is clearly vastly superior as it doesn't have that artificial sweetness taste added to it.

I looked a bit deeper into your website and I am impressed with the amount of work that has gone into this language and its tools. I agree with the other commenters that eC seems like a pragmatic and ergonomic extension to the C language. It solves many of the problems that I find annoying about C: removing header files, adding access control through modules, a reasonable object system.

I'd been looking for a language like this for maybe 10-15 years, but I had never heard of eC until now. I know about Zig, D, Nim, Odin, C2, C3, and a bunch of other obscure languages aimed at C-like use cases, but not eC. I'm not sure how it can get more traction.
>The decision to put fluoride in municipal water supplies is based on its effect on dental health, not a priori reasoning about elemental weights.

Yes, and the decision to put lithium in municipal water supplies would be based on its effect on mental health, not on a priori reasoning about elemental weights.

Do you remember the comment you made? If not, I'll quote it for you:

>It should not be especially astonishing that public health programs for dental health and public immunity are substantially less controversial than putting a mood stabilizer in the water would be.

Your comment was an attempt to differentiate the two policies on the grounds that one is "for dental health" and one is "for mental health". I was replying that "what they're intended for" has no causal power (and thus shouldn't affect how controversial it is) -- the chemical mechanisms that play out don't look at policymaker intent. I don't know what you find so objectionable about that point.

As a courtesy, if you switch to a different, better argument, you shouldn't conflate it with the bad argument I was just replying to. But sure, I'll reply to the different argument.

>Despite your assertion, the effects of fluoride, including their effects beyond safe levels in water, have been extremely well studied.

Its understood now, was less so at the time. Doing it at the time seemed just as reckless as the lithium intervention, because the water supply is a system with many different touch points and many different interactions, same as with lithium and brains.
Start by building a business that isn't differentiated by how many 9s you have. Something customers want so badly that a few hours of inconvenient downtime doesn't move the needle at all.

In this situation, blowing up your system complexity to maybe get another 9 makes no sense. Then the revenue change is pretty irrelevant for modest downtime.

People under estimate single server uptime. If availability is really that important, buy a hot backup. Put it in another region. Done.
They don't need to find a charging spot. The batteries are swappable. You can charge them at home and swap when needed. Also if it gets good user base, battery swapping stations will be everywhere.

"I am dying at age 49. Here's why I have no regrets."
Security, features, and speed of development all tend to be at odds with each other. And the major problem is: security doesn't gain money. The others do. Security is pure risk management.

So it will almost always get the backburner. Hell even if there are financial consequences: those don't matter if you don't really make money in the first place.
It's interesting that people have a variety of mental capabilities (or styles of internal processing or whatever you call it) but we all seem to be able to solve the same problems.

I wonder if being good at a specific internal style (e.g. visual, verbal, etc.) translates to being good at specific types of problems, or is the core capability an abstract foundational capability and the different styles are really just a method of presentation.
Sounds like preparation for commercial "Archives" apps under respective console brands than about legalizing ROM downloads. Perhaps that Nintendo lawsuit story from while back was a bit of foreshadowing.
The problem is all those people you listed would still exist plus the 120k bill to Amazon.

They may or may not be doing other things depending on the company size and state.

You could drop the PM, engineers writing for engineers don’t need a PM.

You will likely hire similarly costed engineers to maintain the database stack anyways.

You basically hit all the talking points big cloud has brainwashed people into thinking into being true, but every day we see stories of a handful of engineers doing something we are told can’t be done and saving millions in cloud cost.

It’s so painful to watch. Software Engineering became a thing because you could hire a engineer solve your problem, and big businesses stepped in and told you that your problem was something else and gone out of its way to stifle innovation by settling industry standards on how to do things that only guarantee you use cloud services.

Any company that wants to own its destiny knows to stay away from lock-in.
Ask HN: Is meaningful ML research outside of major companies possible
One of the things that have made software unique is the ease in which one can bootstrap their "lab". Typically one just needs a single commodity machine (caveat: embedded devices). Other disciplines (e.g. chemistry, biology, mechanical) can requires many millions of dollars of investment.

And the larger costs are typically proportional to number of users etc, and so it can just scale with success.

Modern ML/deep learning/etc seems uniquely different in that it 1. Requires access to enormous datasets, and 2. Requires enormous amounts of compute to train (that second point is in contrast to the scalability point, one needs to perform that enormous upfront cost even for serving a single user).

1. Are any groups doing meaningful ML research without access to farms of H100?
2. Are freely available datasets as high quality as what might be available to larger companies?

This advice massively reduces the largest risk, but “problems all go away” is wildly wrong

There are a ton of remote access and update functionality in these things that make them fully exploitable even with no internet exposure.

Theyll do crazy things like VPN back to home servers, where every single device is on a flat /8 with no additional security. So anyone who dumps the VPN keys from one is basically on your eth.

Or update unsigned firmware from domains that end up abandoned and left hanging

Etc etc
Yeah that’s my thought as well: this is something GitHub is supposed to do. Keep it simple on the users and leave the hard stuff to the creators/runners of the tool

Well, 21CFR (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfr...) is the law, so not following it has consequences for the business, not the individual developer.
Yes. In theory, any pure function can be turned into a lookup table. And any lookup table that isn't just random numbers can be turned into a more compact algorithm that spends compute to save space.

Such tables may be infeasible, though. While a int8 -> int8 table only needs 256 bytes, an int32 -> int32 needs 16 gigabytes.

So, the gist of the paper seems to be:

1. Put all terms of the momentum and mass conservation equations of Navier Stokes on the right hand side. These should be normally identically 0.

2. Define an error term ('residual') R for each equation, this is basically the value of the RHS from step 1. The error term is 0 when pressure and velocities satisfy N-S.

3. Define the Lagrangian as the sum of residuals squared

4. Apply the Legendre transformation to the Lagrangian to get the Hamiltonian and the conjugate momenta
It is clear that that poster does not understand what currying is, as defined in the first line of the article and easily found online; also, downthread [1], nor do you. Currying is when you turn a function of multiple parameters into nested functions of single parameters. Partially applying a curried function is not called currying.

Though if enough people share the confusion, I guess it becomes an alternative definition. Language evolves.

Also, in any case, a constructed object is nothing like a partially applied function, so the parallel drawn is not useful. It seems entirely reasonable in this case to assume that the poster does not have sufficient experience or knowledge.

Which ones?

There aren't that many software companies of that size. I worked for one of them (Google) until a couple years ago, and I never knew of any ICs, at least up to the "Staff" level, who skipped the interview gauntlet on the back of an internal referral. It was a good way to get an interview though (which was already a big advantage). Maybe it was different for managers though.

Is this different at Meta/Amazon/Microsoft? That has not been my impression, but I don't have personal experience with those companies.

>Well what are you advocating? It seems like you are suggesting that device security isn't important because it is hard to do and a firewall will solve most problems.

I'm advocating firewall with no inbound traffic + VPN for remote access. It mitigates most of the risk of devices on your network having security vulnerabilities.

My original comment in this thread was that it's more important to firewall + VPN your network than it is to pick a network appliance with a good security record.

I agree that there certainly are additional precautions you can take, but I think firewall + VPN defends against most practical attacks the average HN user would encounter.

Firewall + VPN is something a large proportion of HN (40%?) is capable of doing with about an hour of effort. I think it's a pretty small segment of HN that's even capable of the precautions you're talking about (separate VLANs, custom certificates, hardening every host), and it would take person-days of effort to replicate.

>But I don't think saying "it is hard and a firewall solves many issues" is a good reason to forgive these vendors for shit security.

I don't forgive vendors for shit security. I agree with you that we should hold vendors accountable. RCE on an unauthenticated GET request is absurdly incompetent and irresponsible, and D-Link deserves punishment. That said, I'm not in a position to influence D-Link, but I am in a position to help users protect themselves if appliances on their network have mistakes like this.
This.

Everything we are teaching people to do is centered around solving the problems with already built services, preferably from one of the big 3 cloud vendors.

We are churning out “qualified” engineers who don’t know how anything works and we pay them to configure a few AWS services.

This is so weird to see. Just this morning I was checking thru my public authoritative NS query logs, and noticed the random capitalization. I had also noticed this in a similar work environment roughly end of 2023, but attributed it to people just doing DNS wordlist bruteforcing to find stuff (couldn't explain the case, but figured it was some evasion).

Rapid charging takes time, and time is money. Swapping a battery is very quick and easy, it can be done anywhere. In this regards it becomes even more convenient than a gas station since such charging/swapping station doesn't require permits and much space.

More range will decrease efficiency and won't be needed for the main purpose of the vehicle. And it's possible to take more than one or two batteries. Just swap
them at the next stop.
If you want to see an organization of mathematical ideas, I'd recommend digging into https://us.metamath.org/. Great intro to formal systems, though many more layers of definitions than the OSI model.

I'd assume that every consumer NAS device is insecure these days. I had a Terramaster NAS and was hit with a ransomware attack because of the poor security of their OS through a feature I had turned off. It caused me to look into it more and realized that all of the consumer NAS devices have had similar security issues.

You are far better off getting cheap hardware and running TrueNAS or Unraid on it as they actually get regular software updates and don't have a history of major security issues.
Emulators are legal.
