I'm not promoting one way or the other, just pointing out why things are the way they are. Restarting a service with stateful networking is reason enough to avoid it where possible, watching entire buildings melt for 15 minutes because a single binary SEGV'd is a real outcome. For an extra helping of pain, add a herd of third party clients of random versions to a system that never needed the comms capabilities on offer and you have a problem to solve that never needed to exist in the first place
You recommend joining a company that sells shares ridiculously cheaply (the legal and accounting costs to process options and shares would easily be more than $20) and lets ignore that companies don't want more shareholders with costs of voting to the existing shareholders (and neither do companies want employees to be able to see the books or interfere with negotiations).

And choose to be an early employee at a place that somehow gets a 1000x valuation boost between Angel and Round A. $100k would be a small Angel round so round A would be $100 million (rather an outlier). 1000x boosts are simply not easy to find.

Your facts just don't line up: if you got lucky then your advice simplifies down to "get lucky".

You're more or less inside a Faraday cage. I find you'll generally get a strong lock just holding your phone near the window, though TTFF can be relatively slow compared to normal due to the lack of AGPS.
AllTrails does this too, to an extend. When you create a route it asks for a couple of questions (think checkboxes). But it then writes it out as human written text as a way to make you believe someone has actually curated a piece of text describing this hike, which actually ends up being an overgrown trail on someone's private property.

What's worse is that they have the condensed information and decide to make it harder to consume.
OpenAI Batch API is now available
They weren't misguided, they just over-focused on scaling parameters instead of appropriately scaling quality data in tandem.

A 4B has limited capacity to encode knowledge and algorithmic circuits. It's also too small to learn programs whose execution exceed the sizes of circuits it can encode. There is a hard cap on how much we can squeeze out of small models. What we need is better consumer hardware, so we don't have to hope for miracles.

Another hope is that the 1.58 bit/ternary quantization aware training of model scaling pans out. That'd be another axis of inefficiency beyond just parameter count.

Have you tried using TRAMP? Depending on the specific backend chosen (ssh, scp, ...) it has varying levels of speed, but I have found it sufficient for my needs.

Regarding Copilot, that's an interesting use case. It makes me wonder if other editors have extensions that try to recreate this experience. I wouldn't be surprised if Copilot is the killer feature of VS Code nowadays.

> Calling it "branches" does seem misleading.

Branching in Neon should be interpreted more like the branches seen in graph theory's trees rather than the featureset exposed by git: the whole history of a Neon project is a unidirected graph with a single path between any two points in the history.

> For instance, would this also work across major PG versions

As for multiple major versions: We currently can handle multiple major versions in different tenants on the same pageserver/safekeeper servers, just not for the user's PostgreSQL instance. Major version upgrades (by way of pg_upgrade) are something we're working on, but that's still quite far down the road.

> afaict, it is just not possible to merge two differently versioned postgres-es

Correct, and AFAIK we don't actually advertise anything related to merging histories. If we do, please do tell where, so we can correct that.

So, do something that provides the functionality you need. It might be useful to others but probably not.

Verilog is kind of trash by modern standards. Unfortunately we are stuck with it (well SystemVerilog) until tool vendors support something else.

It's kind of a similar situation to JavaScript actually. And in a similar way, you can compile to Verilog, but just like with JS it makes debugging much more painful.

For military use, where you are trying to blend in with civilian equipment, either the direct sampling clock, or the local oscillator frequency, could be randomly chosen in quite a wide range at bootup and still have the device work.

In todays world with everything software reconfigurable, changing the sampling rate or local oscillator frequency is very do-able.
To me it’s simply because those people have no negotiation leverage over their employers.

Take nurses, doctors or firefighters, what are they going to do if they don’t get better working conditions ? Refuse to work ? A strike ? That’s impossible because they know the consequences (or depending the country because they aren’t even allowed to).

Even in France with our culture of strikes, people working in healthcare have poor working conditions because they basically can’t stop working even if they’re unionized.

Same for teachers : for them it’s pretty different, they do strikes frequently to ask for better conditions but it’s basically never effective because governments know they’ll eventually get back to work. And ultimately the only ones to suffer from those strikes are the teachers themselves and the children they strive for.

Perhaps "limitless" refers to what they are allowed to do with the data/information they collect.

NB. Data/information can be transferred to other entities in ways that not meet the definition of "resell".1

In addition to transfer, there must be limits on _use_. Obviously a "restriction" like, "The company shall be limited to using the data to improve the service" is meaningless. Defeating privacy improves the service.

1. Years ago, when Facebook was responding to the media with the line, "We do not sell your data", they were sharing it for free. Not to mention leaking it.

And yet Unix is powering all the supercomputers, six of the seven magnificent seven, the AI revolution, nearly every single computer in all the datacenters around the world, billions of "small" devices, etc.

Can we really do that much better or is it just hubris?

At what point another approach, like the one Windows used, would be considered a failure? Once it's only powering the corporate world and not much else?

And at what point another approach would be considered a success? Once it has replaced Unix on all the supercomputers and in all the datacenters?

People like to snob Unix but the fact is: the world runs on Unix.

P.S: I wrote "Unix" with an 'i' and not a star because I have no clue how to write a star in HN's powerful text editor ; )

ECDSA strikes again. Bad nonce generation (here: generating a 521 bit nonce by calculating a 512 bit number and then taking that modulo 2^521, which means the top bits of the nonce are always zero) leading to private key compromise. Classic.

I think the worst accident was the 1955 Le Mans Accident that killed 85 spectators.[1]

It looks like the years (between 1952-1980) of 1956, 1963, 1965, 1972, 1976 and 1979 are noteworthy because those are the 6 of 28 years when a driver wasn't killed[2]...

The legal system doesn't forget about you. The issue is more that if you google a potential business partner you might treat them differently if you find old articles about their conviction for embezzlement. Which is both good and bad.

There is a tension between protecting the innocent and the reformed from their past on one side, and protecting potential victims on the other.
I'm not saying anything one way or the other what we "should" do, just answering the question "what would make private parties adopt renewable energy". My answer ("money"), in fact, agrees with you: whether it is artificially cheaper or naturally cheaper doesn't matter.

However, I think renewables would be cheaper even without government subsidies. Texas had large wind farms over even 15 years ago. I don't have any information about subsidies on solar panels, but given that the cost trend is halving the price every <n years>, that's pretty powerful. I think you could remove the subsidy and solar panels would still be competitive, and even if not now, than in one more halving period.
I wish this announcement included the backstory of how someone discovered this vulnerability.

Public keys are enough of a pain in the ass with PuTTY / KiTTY that I stick with password auth for my windows SSH'ing needs.

KiTTY even let's you save the passwords so you don't have to type it in, a horrible security practice no doubt, but so convenient... Perhaps more secure than the putty-gen'd ECDSA P521 keys? A tad bit ironic.
Good MQ libraries know how to do backoff and retry transparently, so if you aren't provisioned for peak load (which is what melting implies) you can just reject connections for a while until everyone is back.

The alternative with polling rapidly turns into being melted all the time - it's literally handling constant reconnection load - especially as you don't control the polling code and as the user is expected to write it themselves you can safely bet it will be MVP. Retries if they occur at all will be in a tight loop.

I worked on Gmail for a few years and we had a ton of clients permanently connected for IMAP, web long polling and Talk. Those clients tended to be well written and it wasn't the big problem people seem to think it is, especially as some could do client side LB which reduced resource requirements server side. I also experienced (luckily from a distance) fully HTTP polling based systems where backoff/retry wasn't implemented properly and caused services to go hard down because they couldn't handle being hit with all the polling simultaneously, and the clients just broke or did something stupid like immediately retry if they got server errors.

Fundamentally, state is fundamental and can't be removed, so it's going to be sitting somewhere. If state isn't in the protocol stack then it's in your database or session cache instead. Sometimes that's better, sometimes it's worse.

... but maybe healthy organizations should figure out how to let people doing challenging or prestigious projects have work-life balance and "leisure time" (or dependent care responsibilities, etc), and be appropriately compensated? It doesn't have to be one or the other.

It's also possible to enjoy working for a while at an unsustainable pace, but a good manager should often tamp back on this b/c:

(a) an IC that burns themselves out and has a long recovery period of lower engagement may be less effective than an IC with sustained productivity and

(b) the swing between high and low productivity can cause issues for the team overall, esp if peers at first try to compete on pace and then have to shift to share the weight after someone burns out
Still, I will stand by the contents. I'm surprised to have gotten so much pushback about the concept of public awareness being related to safety and lower crime, but it's been good to think about it some more. Stay safe.

What you're really getting at is that sometimes the regulation of a sector is captured by the largest players in a different sector, e.g. fossil fuel energy companies want regulation of nuclear power to make it cost prohibitive.

The EPA is a similar story. It justifies itself by banning leaded gas etc., but then doesn't do only that, and soon certain domestic industries are wiped out by environmental impact studies and other administrative overhead. The companies in those industries don't care because they just move their facilities offshore. The ones who are already foreign companies or were going to do that anyway may even prefer it, because then the rules eliminate competition from domestic operations in the US. And similar to the case of nuclear, environmental rules are often abused by NIMBYs to inhibit construction rather than merely ensure that it isn't harming the environment.

Yeah! I think breakthroughs are also sometimes ... more boring than people expect?

Like, there isn't really an "invention of the transformer" singular breakthrough moment for lithium ion batteries. But there absolutely is a breakthrough-level difference in battery technology between, say, the 90s and today.

Maybe battery nerds would say there were breakthrough moments like that, but when I read The Powerhouse (Steve Levine), which is about some of these developments, I came away surprised and impressed by how incremental but consistent the progress was.

Same thing with solar panels. We figured out how to do PV in the middle of the 20th century, but it didn't really work until recently, after tons of "boring" incremental progress on it.

I am not a natural language professional so I don't fully understand how outlines are used by authors. If I map that to software, I might think of asking an LLM to generate pseudocode for something. Of course I could do this myself (assuming I understand the problem domain), but why not ask an LLM to help me? I will just use whatever it generates as a starting point and edit it to fit my goals and specific objectives. Maybe outline tools are used to do something similar?
