It does, but it is also supposed to bring up the hidden costs of buying things in their prices, so that greener products that would do less harm would be cheaper than more destructive goods.

For example, a plane ticket might be cheaper than a train one for the same trip but it costs more to the community in the long term because of global warming.
It is a nice touch tho
>Later, when I realized that inbound traffic was bypassing the firewall, I notified UC Berkeley’s Information Security Office of the potential security vulnerability, but their response was somewhat lacking in urgency. So we’ll see.

If I were on their infosec team I wouldn't ignore it, but also, infosec and network often different silos. If network was already notified, infosec can't do much but complain.

And, it seems the network was somewhat secure anyway. Any inbound scan or malicious traffic would get dropped going outbound, since there was no session on the outbound firewall.
You force the infrastructure operator to allow competitors to use their infrastructure on a fair basis. It’s what happens in Europe (including the UK). It works.
If it’s pricing meant to protect limited bandwidth and not a profit motive, I think this regulation has to make it so that neither content providers nor consumers are charged differently. The proposed regulation lets the carriers charge consumers (you and I) different prices for different packages that treat traffic differently.

We've got that, already. They're called "trains." We just need to make them faster.
One of the solution for this would be to pay them more, by example with direct aid (coming from carbon taxes). They will then be able to chose better products or higher quality ones.
Well they sort of do already — typically you pay less for water for irrigation (usually because sewerage is metered by water usage and obv if it goes on the lawn it’s not going down the drain).

In places like Florida however irrigation water is reclaimed and not treated the same was as drinking water and has totally separate plumbing and metering (and pricing).
One tip I like is to set your navigation app to "north up". This way you're aware which direction (in general) you're heading towards. If you know you're going south east and there's a detour, you know you need to find a parallel street heading south-east-ish.

If translating the arrow pointing left and the next turn is down to "turn right ahead" is confusing, on Google Maps at least the top of the screen still has arrows pointing left or right how far away you are from the turn, so this info is still there.

The tip is from Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, who does a lot of driving.

It depends on what you do with it and how much bandwidth it needs between the cards. For LLM inference with tensor parallelism (usually limited by VRAM read bandwidth, but little exchange needed) 2x 4090 will massively outperform a single A6000. For training, not so much.
As a Debian user since the 1990s, this situation has once again made me thankful that I've moved important systems I'm responsible for away from Debian and over to OpenBSD and FreeBSD whenever possible.

Even if Debian wasn't perfect before systemd was introduced, at least I knew there was a very high probability that I could trust it to function well.

That stopped being the case after systemd was introduced. I've had far too many problems caused by systemd, to the point where all trust I had in newer versions of Debian has been lost.

Initially, I thought that maybe the problem was with me. But as I investigated the issues I was having with systemd, I'd see so many other bug reports, forum postings, mailing list postings, IRC logs, blog articles, and other online communications from people who were also having many other problems with systemd.

Debian offered a much better user experience before it switched to systemd, and a much worse user experience since.
In Europe they only do this for the last mile as far as I know, and this actually also prevents innovation since again there isn’t competition that can meaningfully introduce alternatives (let’s say cable versus fiber versus whatever). But I agree that approach is still an important tool (certainly better than nothing) and the US should adopt it.
Yes I'm sure it's all due to competition and not the EU's 2015 law that explicitly requires net neutrality (Net Neutrality Regulation 2015).

> In the EU there are similar offers for "enhanced" access, but its not speeding up/slowing down apps, but giving "free" access, as in not counting to your data cap.

They do that because speeding up/slowing down apps is illegal and they are using loopholes in the law to get around that.
> Replace "calm" with "privately owned".

I wouldn't make that claim - it's about the mindset. I've seen plenty of privately owned companies where the owners heavily churn through employees extracting as much as they can from each person and spitting them out.

Their attitude is "I can't pay at or above market, so this employee will eventually leave, so why should I invest in this employee? Let me extract as much as I can while they are here"

The big difference is "type of content" vs. "brand of content".

If a network theoretically prioritized phone calls, email and registered messaging platforms, or deprioritized bulk file-sharing during congested periods, that would be reasonable.

What I see here is ISPs trying to rent-seek and get big players like Netflix or big game companies to pay for being on the premium tier, while charging customers for the privilege as well.

And from a privacy perspective, ISPs shouldn't know what kind of traffic is on its network anyway. I'm on VPN as much as possible these days.
> In the EU there are similar offers for "enhanced" access, but its not speeding up/slowing down apps, but giving "free" access, as in not counting to your data cap.

That's also in breach of EU net neutrality laws. A Dutch ISP lost a lawsuit over this for providing free Spotify traffic. I don't remember which one, I think it was T Mobile (now called Odildo or something lol)
I'm talking about practical limitations, not academic ones. You're not incorrect (and libraries like FastAPI and Pydantic make me confident that the benefits of type-safety will grow throughout the ecosystem) but I am talking about from the perspective of someone considering whether or not to adopt typing within their Python project today.

I'm not sure how much people actually read the link, but I'm talking about this "problem point" specifically relating to network congestion:

> However, there’s a huge problem: the proposed rules make it possible for mobile ISPs to start picking applications and putting them in a fast lane - where they’ll perform better generally and much better if the network gets congested.

> T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon are all testing ways to create these 5G fast lanes for apps such as video conferencing, games, and video where the ISP chooses and controls what gets boosted. They use a technical feature in 5G called network slicing, where part of their radio spectrum gets used as a special lane for the chosen app or apps, separated from the usual internet traffic.

> The FCC’s draft order opens the door to these fast lanes, so long as the app provider isn’t charged for them.

No, it became what some of us called "plug and pray". You plug it in, and it's supposed to work. You install the driver, reboot, uninstall the driver, reboot, clear some temporary files, re-install the driver, try a slightly different driver on the same disk, uninstall the driver, reboot, re-install the driver, and it suddenly works! Then you reboot it and it stops working again.
You are woefully misinformed if you think that doctors have a significant say in their day to day work.

My sister is in medicine. Her entire day, down to each 30 minute block, is prescheduled for her. Often, she is forced to see multiple patients at once to increase revenues. The services that she is allowed to provide are governed by a completely separate insurance company. Strict metrics are tracked about the outcomes of each visit, including things like "how often did you see somebody for 35 minutes because that way you could charge for a full hour but spend less of your time."

This is far worse than anything I have ever experienced in software regarding tickets coming down from PMs or tracking of the amount of code committed in a week.
Giving “free data pass” to limited set of apps is even more harmful IMO, the monopolies can afford pay the network infrastructure but small app developers will not be able to.

I've been using rke/rke2 and k3s for a few years now. I still use docker compose, but once the docker compose file reaches certain level of complexity, I would migrate it to rke2 or k3s (depending on the size of the server).
The team I work on processes 5B+ tokens a month (and growing) and I'm the EM overseeing that.

Here are my take aways

1. There are way too many premature abstractions. Langchain, as one of may examples, might be useful in the future but at the end of the day prompts are just a API call and it's easier to write standard code that treats LLM calls as a flaky API call rather than as a special thing.

2. Hallucinations are definitely a big problem. Summarizing is pretty rock solid in my testing, but reasoning is really hard. Action models, where you ask the llm to take in a user input and try to get the llm to decide what to do next, is just really hard, specifically it's hard to get the llm to understand the context and get it to say when it's not sure.

That said, it's still a gamechanger that I can do it at all.

3. I am a bit more hyped than the author that this is a game changer, but like them, I don't think it's going to be the end of the world. There are some jobs that are going to be heavily impacted and I think we are going to have a rough few years of bots astroturfing platforms. But all in all I think it's more of a force multiplier rather than a breakthrough like the internet.

IMHO it's similar to what happened to DevOps in the 2000s, you just don't need a big special team to help you deploy anymore, you hire a few specialists and mostly buy off the shelf solutions. Similarly, certain ML tasks are now easy to implement even for dumb dumb web devs like me.

This was my thought. My municipality has been working towards laying a city-owned fiber network that ISPs compete on, and if that goes through I would have no problem with some of them running the kind of programs described in TFA. If consumers want it they'll choose those ISPs, if they don't they'll choose ones that offer flat rates for all traffic.

The problem with unregulated broadband isn't the lack of regulation in the abstract, it's the lack of regulation over a sector that has 2(±1) choices per household and no easy path for new entrants.
The real answer is "wings clipped to tubes". Load the cheap tube at your leisure, drag it by semi under the waiting "wing". Clip, clip, vroom...

There was a great concept video of a train/bus station that did something similar, divorcing the loading of people into the tube from the attaching the tube to the train.

It allowed the train to keep going nearly 100% full speed, "magically" grabbing the tube loaded with passengers, and letting them pass into the moving portion (below) without stopping the train.

The passenger pickup capsule was then dropped off at the next station for the process to repeat.

Saves kinetic energy (no stopping and starting), and time because you're not incurring +5min per each stop/station.

The GP is comparing the US to the rest of the world, and they're correct: the US (including yours) lags behind other modern countries. Singapore, for reference, offers 500/500 symmetric connections for approximately the same price as you're paying. 2gbps symmetric is less than $200/mo.

You're saying your Internet is fast enough for you, and that's fine and probably correct, but you're still getting slower speeds for higher prices than you should. You're also likely better situated than much of the rest of the country.
IMHO, local government is the one that matters most, because your vote has the most sway.

Hopefully you have a functional, if barebones, local newspaper, that reports on at least some of the happenings of city council / county board meetings / etc local boards. Combine that with candidate statements (when present, but know that candidates have to pay per word to put those in --- to pay for translation and printing costs). My criteria are 1) does this person appear to make rational decisions and learn from experience. (Are they providing effective and honest government) 2) Does this person tend to make decisions I would like. Usually, I would pick a rational person over a person who does things all over the place but often in directions I prefer --- but not if the effective agent is specifically against my interests.

I look for specificity in candiate statements, but will not vote for candidates who promise things outside the baliwick of office (ex: mayoral candidates promising to fix schools; when schools are generally controlled by a school board, not the apparatus of city government), or unreasonable things (government moves too slowly: open meeting laws require significant advance notice of proposed action - a local elected official can't (shouldn't) do things quickly and promising to do so implies significant misunderstanding of the workings).

For propositions, I read the submitted statements, and the 'non partisan' summary by the election personell, and sometimes the actual text. I try to consider the difference between the intent and the text, and if the text will be effective. In CA especially, I also consider how much of a pain it will be in 10-50 years when it's obsolete but hard to get rid of; and if this is a good idea, why couldn't it get passed as a regular law. In WA, it's less critical, because the state supreme court blocks or makes ineffective a lot of propositions if they feel it addresses something that is the proper job of the legislature.

I abstain from non-binding advisory votes, unless they're on a topic I care deeply about, because I feel they're insulting. For examlple, by WA proposition, we have to see an advisory vote on new taxes, but it's meaningless; the proposition specified the votes were binding, but the supreme court ruled that taxes are the job of legislature, and the people can't usurp it. I would vote to repeal the now useless proposition.

I have Blazor apps running on Cloudflare pages. They download fast and the performance is great. The load time is terrible though. I think it is unsolvable with .NET. I think the core issue is how everything is entangled by design in oo langs.

Also, the amount of money put into js is hard to compete with. Then to also have copy/paste as a lang feature in js is like cheating.

Third. With Blazor at least you still need js and skills in that area. I think this is my main issue.
This reads as though your objection is to the scope of systemd rather than its implementation detail, which isn’t where my objection lies.

I have nothing against the service management stack also addressing common principles like logging and on-demand starts a la inetd, but the notion that applications should link against a component of the service manager which is also used by the service manager boggles my tiny mind.
