> And I think it's unlikely we'll even see as many products with "source available" licenses because, how is it worth the hassle to release source when the community has shown more good will to projects that are entirely proprietary?

This, thousand times. Looks like FOSS advocates feel so threatened by "source available" licenses that they will do everything possible to keep them from gaining momentum (see Commons Clause).

It's a shame really. It would be nice to have a standard and well known license that would both allow users to use software freely (for using and adapting) and still protect makers from their competitors (AWS comes to mind) undercutting them with their own product. Oh well.

EDIT: ...and here comes the first (anonymous) downvote. Proves my point about FOSS sentiment, I guess? Come on, it's a discussion, you can do better than that.

Actually for GPON the 802.1x is enforced on the ONT, so if you use an ONT SFP stick you do not need 802.1x. I already had pulled mine years ago and they’re good until 2038 or something so I haven’t bothered bypassing the ATT ONT.
It was even dumber than that. AOC is a federal representative that gave her personal opinion. She has no say on local laws, she can oppose 100% of the laws Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul sign, it doesn't mean they get cancelled, it just means she has a right to her opinion.

The local board that rejected Amazon had a separate set of members that decided to vote however they voted. They are also up for election completely independently, so they would have paid the price if locals disagreed with them (maybe they did, I didnt check)
You'd have to ask our host; these were all rental dedicated servers, none of us ever got to see them at all. Pictures of their racks never included coffins though. I don't think we pissed anybody off enough for them to get out the cosmic ray gun, but I'm also thinking the people we did piss off didn't have cosmic ray guns anyway. ;)

In terms of diagnostics, we pretty much just asked for ram replacement, if that didn't work, cpu replacement, if that didn't work, motherboard replacement. If that didn't work, the chassis / rack position is clearly cursed, don't give us anything there again, please. :D I don't know what they did with the hardware we didn't like, maybe send it to the manufacturer, maybe give it to customers they don't like, maybe surplus it.
If anyone is in the mood for getting nerd-sniped: I'm curious if it would be possible to see such a light from earth (or earth orbit) using any actually existing telescope, and if so how bright would the light have to be.

> It is really important that people understand that inflation isn't "falling" in the sense that things are getting cheaper

"Inflation falling" does not mean "things are getting cheaper" in exactly the same way that "driving backwards" does not mean "reducing speed".

Where did this meme even come from, that this is confusing? Did they stop teaching what the definition of the word "inflation" is? Or did they stop teaching about the relationship between measuring values over time and measuring rates of change in those values?

Inflation isn't a confusing concept! Are people really confused by it, or is there just a lot of noise about this?

> Unless we see actual negative inflation, the damage of high inflation rates has already basically been done.

"Negative inflation" is called deflation. That's what happens during a depression. Deflation would be a very bad thing, you do not want deflation.

> Salaries have not kept up and will likely just continue to fall further behind

This one is just simply not supported by economic data. If you're just talking about the tech industry, then, yeah, maybe. But it's not true of the workforce as a whole.
Most of the GrapheneOS information you might be interested in is in a few different places (Reddit, Twitter, Discord) but quite predictably they have become unworkable for searching especially if you don't have an account on those platforms. GrapheneOS also has their forum for that purpose but it is quite young compared to the project.

>I was also disappointed to see that there is no way to prevent the warning message on each boot

That bit is part of Android https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/avb/+/mas... and would be the same on any device following the same implementation model (most of the Android world although some don't do it properly). They have been looking into a hardware company partnership though, which could potentially mean a device that boots GrapheneOS without such a warning.

>All your complaints sound legit though and I too would like to know the answers, because you bring up very valid points.

Some of the points raised might be argued by community members but that does not mean they are representative of the GrapheneOS project's positions. I would stick to the official GrapheneOS accounts on social media if you want the project opinion. The founder is also a fully public development member of the team so you can look to their posts for official positions as well.

>in reality adding random Git repos to Obtanium or whatever is just as insecure.

Yep, I believe this also isn't officially recommended by GrapheneOS either anyway. GrapheneOS had always been clear that one of the big benefits to basing on AOSP is the massive ecosystem of open source Android apps. They also integrated F-Droid and collaborated with the project in the past. Their requirements for app stores have developed in line with their project goals over the years so there is a lot they are looking for now in an app repo that F-Droid does not provide.
Low-cost arm to make Indian chai
Hi HNers,
I have for a long time tried to build a different type of devices to be able to make india chai. After lots of unsuccessful attempts, I am going to lean towards trying it one more time using low-cost robotic arm. Do you have any recommendations ?
Lol plain old VMs have been shipping your machine since well before Docker was around.

Yeah sure .. if they had 1 million downloads already, pay 50 cents per install yearly, teach the users to toggle it in the settings, still notarize the app by Apple and they have a 2+ year old delopper account (am I missing anything else?)

Let's say upfront that nobody will use that and that's the point.
Is there ready made low-cost arm that is available ?
Lidl Announces Increase in Plant-Based Food Sales
I'm still in that niche, and I hope I'm not being Debbie Downer, but no, the software is still horrible.

The only movement that's happening today is where individual ERP/PDM/ILS solutions are beginning to just incorporate the tech writing tools wholly into their ecosystem, rolling them up into SAP/Epicor/TeamCenter/Aras/etc. Or even into the CAD system[1]. Doing S1000D in Program X? Whelp, better get TeamCenter spooled up so you can do the writing and publishing.

What does that do for interoperability? Nothing good! But it doesn't matter - S1000D instances weren't interoperable to begin with. The one good thing from this, is that it might - and I do want to underline might - give the pubs team a somewhat better chance of optimizing their data flows from other business systems. Yeah. Might.

All this crap makes me think of Daniel Dennett's famous essay on Chmess. How "chmess" sucked in a whole generation of chess scholarship, with no one stopping the train for one hot second to ponder that they're blowing their entire careers optimizing something that never happens.

[1] Oh yeah, CAD for maintenance manuals. The engineering design system, that's a great place for parts lists.
It seems weird to describe this technique as a market.

The quality of most (nearly all) media is (embarrassingly) poor though. You often find more serious reporting on YouTube than in the press!! For example, the YouTuber CoffeeZilla gave a far more earnest coverage of SBF than any newspaper I came across.

Similarly, I think I would rather read a blog written by an expert on their area of expertise (for free) than read a newspaper's (sloppy) filtering of that.

And, if I care deeply enough about a topic, I would rather read a book about it. What service do these newspapers think they serve?

To corrupt an adage, I honestly think the best reporting is generally free (e.g. coffeezilla, e.g., excellent in-depth podcasts, e.g. many excellent articles and essays linked via HackerNews, etc...) and the second best is more expensive than most newspapers can afford to be (e.g., a book).
The Feature Store for Machine Learning
As someone who read enough of the article before it became a full-blown ad for their services: neat.

They do have a point with regards to Bloomberg's analysis.

Bloomberg's analysis have white women being selected more often than all other groups for software developers, with the exception of hispanic women.

That's a little weird. More often than not, when something is sexist or racist, it's going to favor white men. But then you also see that the differences are all less than 2% from the expectation. Nothing super major and well within the bounds of "sufficiently random".

Now, I also wouldn't make the claim that ChatGPT isn't racist based on this either. It's fair to say that ChatGPT did not exhibit a racial preference in this task.

The best you can say is that the study says nothing.

What they should do is basically poison the well. Go in with predetermined answers. Give it 7 horrible resumes and 1 acceptable. It should favor the acceptable resume. You can also reverse it with 7 acceptable resumes and 1 horrible resume. It should hardly ever pick the loser. That way you can test if ChatGPT is even attempting to evaluate the resumes or is just picking one out of the group at random.
Data transfer for training. It goes directly to the GPUs via RoCE. That said, we also stack the boxes with a bunch of NVMe as well, so you can cache there first, if you want so that you don't have to worry about network bandwidth as much. We're flexible on customers needs.

When 800G nic's come out next year (along with PCIe6), we will start buying those as well so that it is 800G everywhere. Let's see how long that lasts before it is considered slow... heh.
> should be a way to pay for a single article

It fundamentally doesn’t work due to journalism, particularly investigative journalism, having high fixed and sporadic costs. Consider the trivial example of defending ones’ journalists against a lawsuit. You can’t easily borrow against clickstream revenue.

Caveat: it could work, but at effectively a a few months’ subscription price per article.
But we can be sure the training data isn't racist.

The Descent series was my gateway to the Internet, and really paralleled my coming of age.

I played D1 dialing up my friends when I was 10, which was amazing. I swapped numbers with some folks on the local BBS and played 1-on-1 deathmatches. My brother installed DEVIL, and I learned how to launch things from DOS, interact with a CLI and filesystem, and of course make my own levels.

We got Internet service and then D2 multiplayer, facilitated by Kali/Kahn for match-making completely blew my mind. I think I was 12 or 13, and discovering things like IRC and webpages describing advanced techniques like chording were hugely eye-opening for how big the world was. Making friends on ICQ, and discovering warez was like living in a sci-if novel. I also got into building and upgrading PCs to be able to play at higher resolutions and frame rates.

Descent 3 was a huge step forward graphically, and brought about sniping with the mass driver. It had worldwide rankings, and making the top 100 leaderboard as a 16 year old still ranks as one of my most mind-blowing moments. It was the first time I had high speed internet, and really ushered in the modern era of gaming for me.

Thank you for this. I’ve since moved on in my life (obviously), but it is amazing to have spent some moments today reflecting on all this. I doubt I would be a child of the internet or a software engineer today without Descent.
This article does the same stat 101 mistakes that the Bloomberg article does with p-values.

All this article can say it is that it cannot reject the null hypothesis (chatgpt does not produce statistical discrepancies).

It certainly cannot state that chatgpt is definitively not racist. The article moves the discussion in the right direction though.

Also, I didn't look too closely, but their table under "Where the Bloomberg study went wrong" has unreasonable expected frequencies. But then I noticed it was because it was measuring "name-based discrimination." This is a terrible proxy to determine racism in the resume review process, but that is what Bloomberg decided on so wtv lol. Not faulting the article for this, but this discussion seems to be focused on the wrong metric.

If you are going to argue people over stats, then don't make the same mistakes...
A-Z computer science study plan to become a software engineer
They put it correctly in the article tho:

> Using Bloomberg’s numbers, ChatGPT does NOT appear to have a racial bias when it comes to judging software engineers’ resumes.2 The results appear to be more noise than signal.

Which in most contexts means the same as "does appear to not have a racial bias", but not in statistics. One of the reasons why communicating results in research accurately is incredably hard.
Maybe but you can't teach a Labrador algebra no matter how many treats you feed it. These are aggregate effects of low IQ genetic traits as they play out over generations in our capitalist society. The trauma is a consequence of poverty and bad parenting which is because of low IQ. And don't call me racist. Ask why there was no IQ test line up amongst all that visualized data

I think it depends where you are online because it's true in some spaces but in real life I've known a lot of use these terms to point out very legitimate issues. In general I think these issues are much more prevalent than a lot of people think and there's a lot of subtle prejudices that people themselves don't know they have. I live in Chicago and I've had a few people in real life say things like "I'm just prejudiced against poor/uneducated/[insert other similar group]" and ignore the fact that they are much more likely to assume that black people are members of that group (and that's ignoring how that comment it's somewhat problematic on its face already). There's also stuff like how having women more likely to do non engineering work like taking notes or setting up team events seems to be depressingly common in the industry.

“Bloomberg didn’t show that ChatGPT is racist” is probably the best you can do for the headline. (They didn’t do that either.)
I'm on team "the economy is really good right now, actually!", but, relevant to this thread, I think it's pretty clear that it's hard for people to feel good about things when interest rates are way higher than they were in very recent memory, because it makes the housing market more expensive (and also way more static), and makes things like car payments higher.

I think a good lesson to learn from this period is "people are very sensitive to gas prices and the rates on mortgages and car loans".
Exactly the same for me. When you hear someone accusing another person or thing of being racist, sexist, transphobe, LGBT Agenda, or whatever, it’s more likely to be culture war hullabaloo from a politically obsessed person than anything serious.
I care to know what a reasonable upper limit is. It is the height of western arrogance to say "it's currently 400ppm, we already got ours, and so it cannot go /any/ higher, which means everyone else has to pay for out past extravagance."

If we're truly that concerned about it, then we need to get to work on carbon capture and conversion, and do our part to be carbon negative so that non industrialized areas of the world have an opportunity to catch up.

And this isn't just about industrialization, it's about quality of life, it's about longevity, it's about wealth. Pretending that CO2 is the only concern leaves everything else on the floor. And without any diplomacy, this is the kind of policy that starts wars.

Up to you if you actually want to solve the problem in the long term or not. So, again, what's an acceptable upper limit?

Astronomers have not discovered the Milky Way's biggest stellar black hole. They have found the largest stellar black hole of all the galactic stellar black holes they've found so far. Since the Milky Way likely has 100 million stellar black holes, finding the largest is going to be quite a task.

Bart: this is the biggest stellar black hole.

Homer: this is the biggest stellar black hole so far.
I basically had the same comment. The issue is that they are responding to bloomberg's flawed analysis. The article focuses on the already-determined metrics correctly, but this discussion already started on the faulty premise that name-based discrimination is the primary metric for determining racial bias in chatgpt.
They also said "that there was, in fact, no racial bias", which is a bit stronger than "no evidence of racial bias". In a context where words like "significant" are overloaded, it makes sense to me to be extra careful with phrasing.
I think that is a fork before the actual repo was made private.

Not here. Would much prefer something like evolved bookmarks, yet still very much separate from a bookmark I specifically chose. Evolved would be more like the browser just hangs onto History longer if you go there more.

Tabs, I donno, I'm not the target audience for Tabs. I'm on somewhat limited resource hardware, so keeping 100 tabs open is simply not feasible. All browsers run like slugs with 100 tabs open from personal experience.

The tabs are Not impressive. HN (2,text), WP (text), Gmail (text). Adding only Redfin and Facebook jumps me up 500 further MB in resident memory. Two tabs, no actions. How do the landing pages for two major companies eat 500 MB of resident memory statically?...

Do you pay for any journalism? Or are you comparing the ad-supported cruft to YouTube?

YouTube has great information. But BloombergLaw, for example, remains a far more decisive source than CoffeeZilla. I say this as someone who participated in the FTX estate’s bankruptcy process as an asset purchaser.
