I've been laid off for a few months, so I can start work immediately. I'm more of a back-end developer: I can put text on a web page (even with AJAX), but I can't necessarily make it look pretty. If you think my blog looks pretty, then OK, I can do that!
>Cloud computing charges you by the request/byte/cpu cycle. Servers do not have this issue.

Sure they do. Processing requests takes bandwidth, CPU, memory, disk I/O

>Also, is it simply not possible to rate limit this on a per IP basis

It's largely useless. You'll block any legitimate bits/programs, people on CGNAT, people on corporate networks & bad actors will use botnets, residential IPs, VPNs to gain access to thousands or millions of unique IPs

But that some of the money is borrowed can't mean that he can't say the things he does, especially when the lenders knew who he was to begin with.
I'm not sure how that threatens you personally? Has anyone been attacked?

Endlessly attacking people you disagree with doesn't add credibility or make any of it true.
Minor issue but you've got a little horizontal wiggle/overflow going on.

Seems to be connected to this:

<main class="flex min-h-screen flex-col">
<div class="flex-1 w-screen flex flex-col">

The interior w-screen class element is setting 100vw inside of a container that's not 100vw, leading to an overflow
While message boards and irc still exist and could be considered "echo chambers", social media began kicking off in mid-2000s with their algorhythmic echo chambers.

Also around this time period was growth in blogging, further pulling people away from homepages to "personal pages". Even in the days of Geocities, many people would hit a homepage prior to potentially visiting their own site.

And while smart phones did play a role in the trend, changes to web browsers on PC devices with their own "start pages" with news/content operating as pseudo-homepages further contributed to the shift for non-smartphone users.

For how much longer do you expect them to remain docile?

Humans aren't great at probability either. I wonder if you prompted a thousand people with this question what the distribution of first responses would be?
> The point is that the open source desktops do not even touch Windows in usability, quality, reliability and consistency.

I had a chuckle about this one. Seriously, none of MS crap comes close to a modern rolling release distro + KDE.

> Show me an open source O365 and you might have something fit for an SME or government.

Libre Office is pretty good, but its usability needs lots of work. To this day Libre Office still ships with templates that look like they were designed in 1998.

- You want a quick and dirty document or presentation that looks pretty good: MS Office is the winner.

- You want a large document with lots of figures, captions etc: Libre Office is the winner.Try to keep a larger document meticulously styled with named styles, MS Word will trip over tons of its bugs that lurks in the dark, and it will make an non-salvageable mess of figure placement, caption numbering, losing header formatting and what not.

What OSS software needs is more investment in UX. Libre Office needs a reality check here.
In this respect KDE is a great outlier, as it looks great, is responsive and has tons of pro features that are discoverable.
Isn't this way of prompting roughly equal to asking a 1000 people to pick left or right with 80% prob of left? I imagine, the result with humans will be closer to 80:20 than whatever happened with the LLM.

Your understanding of how LLMs work is overly simplistic and incomplete.

Yes, doing probabilistic next-word prediction plays a role in how LLMs generate text output, but that's not the whole story.

LLMs "understand" (to a degree): They develop complex internal representations of concepts they've been trained on. This isn't just about word association; they develop an understanding of the relationships between objects, actions, and ideas.

They can reasoning, not just mimic: LLMs can perform logical reasoning, using their internal knowledge base to solve problems or answer questions. This might involve following multi-step instructions, drawing inferences from information provided, or adapting to new prompts in a way that requires a degree of abstract thinking.

Beyond simple probabilities: Yes, LLMs do consider the probability of certain word sequences, but their output is far more sophisticated than just picking the most likely next word. They weigh context, concepts, relationships, nuance, logic, and even the unstated but inferred purpose of the user when generating responses.
If you have information that says otherwise, please share it.

FWIW, your assumptions about the protestors seem to match the preconceived notions (conveniently serving anti-progressive politics) of the neoreactionaries - before the protestors even begin, they are terrorists, etc.

Judge them by what they do, not all that nonsense: they have been peaceful everywhere.
That’s an orthogonal issue. There’s no interpretation of “egress” that means “stuff we do internally before leaving aws data centers”. If the tcp conn is reset only a few MB would leave aws frontend servers. Instead, it appears they’ve been basing the number off the range in the request and/or whatever internal caching/loading they’re doing within S3, which again has nothing to do with egress.

I mean, we already know egress is short for egregious. It’s an incredibly bad look to be overestimating the “fuck you” part of the bill.

I reassembled (using their original report: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/p162318supplych...) the data they used to create those numbers here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1lR3j. I'm really not convinced we're seeing anything significant.
I went through all the flagged replies, and I think if you stepped back and looked at the conversation again you might find that some of the implications you're seeing might not exist.

Even if they did exist, the /explicit/ point being made is valid: hyfetch is an expressly lgbt thing, and a lot (most?) people would prefer their vanity-specification-printer wasn't intertwined with that kind of thing.

It would be like learning the currently maintained version of grep includes random Christian iconography, if that helps the point get across -- christian or not, that's not what people go to software for, and it would thus be pretty useless to mention christGrep in a discussion about maintained alternatives to the original.
This kind of reflects the fact that a lot of working with LLMs is just organizing text, and prompts can become a real engineering problem when you are orchestrating pipelines of dozens or more files with completions at various points with context windows of 100K tokens or more.

I've not found a satisfying framework yet, generally find raw Python best. But I still spend too much time on boilerplate and tweaking formatting or samplers and chunking for context windows.

If anyone knows of a better tool for abstracting that away (LangChain is not it IMO) please let me know.

This comment is utterly inappropriate for HN.

> I could tell from the title that this was just going to be racist but I didn’t expect the racism to happen this early into the article lol.

There is, objectively, no racism here. You are intentionally introducing a politically-charged tangent in order to deflect from the points presented in the article.

> Just because a company is based in China doesn’t mean it is fully controlled by the CCP

This is objectively false. China has a law that literally compels Chinese companies to do whatever the government wants, with zero restrictions.

We shouldn't have to have ads everywhere. Ad-free societies can exist. Granted, the only one I've seen do it successfully was North Korea, and if that's what's required to get rid of ads, maybe it's not worth it... But man, videos of people just walking around in the city are crazy. Not an ad up anywhere, not a billboard on the skyline, not a logo on a building. Just that aspect of a complete lack of ads seems very peaceful.
For a cool example (deanonymization), see https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/whoami-updated/ (discussed at time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34301768). Someone has crawled public keys from GitHub (tbh I was surprised that GitHub publishes them) and set up a database.

I recall the brief storm that came up ~ 7 months ago with:

'Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted' ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37702095 )

... and thought something significant will definitely come out of this. (It didn't, so far I could tell.)

Here in AU it feels most orgs and gov agencies still assume Microsoft is the arbiter and epitome of good security practice, and their products seem to be excluded from serious scrutiny or regular review, as per almost every other vendor. (Google may be another exception, but their attack surface is obviously quite different.)
Ok can you explain how you would make an invoice PDF in Google sheets? I'd seriously consider that.
Not the OP, but I tested readability for this purpose. My use case was converting web pages of API documentation into markdown for AI coding.

Readability works pretty well on "newspaper article" or "blog post" type content. But fails badly on the more structured webpages that I was interested in like API documentation, etc.

This is not a real bug and the trick is possible with sudo if you just hijack the parent process of sudo with reptyr instead of sudo directly.

Also seems a bit absurd to try and pretend there is a security boundary between processes started by the same user. You could already do PATH trickery here, a time honoured tradition.
The intensity of the war in Gaza has declined. There is no real urgency. There is also no real solution the protesters are presenting about how we can get a ceasefire (which requires two sides to cease their fire), get the hostage situation resolved, and get Hamas ousted in Gaza. With Hamas officials stance of committing Oct 7th attacks over and over again I'm not sure where the protesters actually stand. Seemingly on the side of supporting violence against Israeli civilians while voicing concern for Palestinian civilians.

Let's say the protesters get their way and their university "divests" from Israel. This is not going to help Palestinian civilians in any way. There's even a chance it results in more Palestinian suffering and death. The protesters aren't looking for a solution, they're looking to punish Israeli civilians for the war Israel started in Gaza after being attacked. That makes zero sense. If their argument is that civilians shouldn't pay the price for actions of their government then why are they so intent of exacting a price from Israeli civilians while at the same time doing zero to actually help Palestinian civilians? Not only is there no solution offered but some of the messaging calls for the destruction of Israel (i.e. the killing of Israelis which is deemed "ok").

Given it makes no sense, and given there is an overflow of hate, I think there's reasonable grounds to be worried about the hate having real world impact (and it certainly has).

I think of my local grocery store (HEB - a Texas regional chain that I have a lot of respect for) as essentially that. Just grab a sandwich or salad and take it to a self checkout. Certainly it’s helped keep my cost of lunch down and been healthier than fast food by far.
> but what’s a scenario that you run a SUID/GUID binary from a network or a container?

A lot of publicly available container images require elevated permissions to simply function, not for anything extraordinary. So, the user in container needs to be a superuser. It's often even not to perform the program's main function, but because various ordinary things in Linux require elevated permissions.

> container built correctly

That's a spherical horse in vacuum. If you write code s.t. there aren't any errors, you don't need to do error handling, right? You don't get to choose how containers are built. You need to deal with all possibilities of how containers can be built.

Network filesystem? -- /usr/shared, /usr/opt and /usr/local? That's by design... very typical for cluster management software to mount these from NAS. It's also very not typical to keep these as "only text files". Pretty sure a lot of Google's stuff installs automatically into /usr/shared. I think even Go compiler and other infra at some point was being installed there by default.

Finally: the same argument as with containers. You, for some reason, are trying to fantasize the world where problems don't exist because you chose the world w/o problems. But this isn't the real world. It's a fantasy. In real world, with or without reason, programmers and other computer users will do what's possible, not what you want them to do.
> The reason those orgs use O365 is that there isn't a better option with the same ROI and staffing requirements. It because a defacto standard because no one offered anything better.

As you pointed out once the goal posts shifted, the reason they use Microsoft is because Microsoft is notoriously incompatible with anyone but Microsoft, but also ubiquitous.

Personally I'd just pick whatever Linux distro suits your fancy for other reasons, and then the official PyTorch docker image as a distrobox. The combination of Nvidia drivers, CUDA/CUDNN/etc libraries, and Python libraries is extremely fragile and sensitive to version bumps and stuff so I'd want it in an isolated consistent official box. This I'd what I do on ublue.
In all seriousness, you’re absolutely right. I can name 10+ apps, it is not a new idea.

But I have found existing apps have been abandoned, lack data or a system to keep data accurate over time. That’s partly my motivation for doing this today.

And people seem to value it already! I had gotten a ton of positive feedback.
This is a generic problem across a vast range of technologies: how to handle scale out replication with delays and have a consistent “streaming” experience.

The main issue is that most query languages like SQL predate HTTP and haven’t been updated with the same concepts such as ETag headers and cookies.

Every database request should include a transaction consistency header that contains a vector clock of logical replication status. Every response should include cache control headers and an updated vector clock. This should then be encrypted and bubbled up through the HTTP pipeline to the end clients.

E.g.: a client should able to request a “snapshot no older then T minutes” for a report run and be able to return a cookie that ensures that subsequent queries remain consistent with that. Most databases can do this… for a single TCP socket connection only. They’ll lose track of the context if the socket is closed or if multiple servers connect from a web farm.

With an approach like this, any cache or any replica could be utilised for any query in a safe and consistent manner.

Essentially, this would be fixing an impedance mismatch between a stateful connection-oriented system and a stateless request-response system.
