This replaces Vagrant + Virtualbox (VMs are configured via YAML files instead of Vagrant's DSL). It might be less flexible, but with my basic needs I haven't noticed. Importantly, there's no need to install Virtualbox Extension Pack, with its non-free license.
Only because most tools provide a randomize seed alongside the input, but you don't have to do that.
By "binding a session to client details like IP addresses and user agents" do you mean restricting the session so that only the original IP/UA can make use of the session token?

If so, most robust session-based authentication libraries can already store this data for you (e.g. Devise's `trackable` module). Actually locking down the session so it can't be used by different IPs/UAs would require custom code on the server, whether you're using JWTs or session tokens.

So JWTs provide zero advantage here, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

From a UK perspective, this could also be read as a critique from the left - someone who's an actual socialist, criticising pseudo-socialist progressives, but not so far left that it turns into a gobbledygook screed. I think that sort of person is rare as hen's teeth in the US now, though.
Yes, but people make mistakes, and escalating that to 100 and an RCE is not brilliant.

There really should be an option to just these stupid fopen wrappers. The entire feature is profoundly misguided, and not even that useful.

The post says "Big applications (such as Drupal or Magento) have been disabling the phar:// protocol", but I can't even figure out how to do that in a quick check, other than a configure option.
When I train a CNN the scale of errors is a very important characteristic of the training set so I empirically don’t understand this idea of “poisoning” with “a couple of dozen bad SO articles”.

Do you have any sources related to this disproportionate impact?

Show HN: Merge Folders from the CLI
Whenever moving folders with folders which have the same names I would always wince when seeing "directory not empty" or "destination already exists" and then immediately give up and use a GUI file manager.

The existing solutions all have caveats:

mv ./src/* ./dest/

oops no dotfiles ?! but also this will fail if any of the globbed subfolders have subfolder conflicts (and it will silently move globbed folders into subfolders of the same name--I can't imagine this is what most people assume it is doing)

rsync --remove-sent-files
rclone move

rsync and rclone will copy the files to move them which can be very slow when renaming is all that is needed

So I've created my own which uses BSD syntax:

pip install xklb
library merge-mv folder1 folder2/ # folder1 will go inside folder2
library merge-mv folder1/ folder2/ # folder1 will be merged with folder2

Right; I elided from one to the other to give a calculation of interest to the thread topic. (I had thought I had written it sufficiently clearly? What should I change?) The "sol" case is still at the hydrogen-bomb level—but not 9 orders of magnitude beyond it.
It's true that you can't practically block Cloudflare without impacting legitimate users, but they can absolutely be depeered if you're willing to pay a higher transit bill.
I'm not really making a policy criticism of any of it really. I'm just saying, if you're going to publicly antagonize someone about they way they do something and imply your way is the enlightened way to score political points, don't be surprised when those people find a way to call your bluff, publicly.

The difference is that China had a housing bubble. After it popped, housing prices started plummeting. In the US, housing is just expensive. Given the current supply and demand, there isn't a good reason why the price should be lower.
There is actually currently a Seattle class action lawsuit on renting because a majority of the corporate landlords use the same big data company to set rents, and the big data company says you must use their rates (and so do the landlords instructing their property managers). It turns out you may not be able to launder price fixing using an algorithm.
>Problem is the current systems can’t reason about things, math included.

Have you tried asking GPT-4 any questions that require reasoning to solve? If so, what did you ask, and what did it get wrong?
I think it is a question about the area of central locations grows much slower than the amount of people who wants to live in a central location.

Dubai is expanding like there is no tomorrow, and the price of down town and marina just keeps increasing, regardless of how many new high rise areas the emirate undertakes.

China has hundreds of literally empty cities, yet people are being priced out of living in Beijing.

The question is not about a lack of new buildings, or under utilization of current buildings but simply you cannot built _dense_ enough to follow demand.

You people are so naive. How can you store any code in the cloud at all believing that nobody is going to look at it. Or running your business of cloud based systems. Running a webshop is one thing but having your company in the cloud is a whole nother ballpark.

When it comes to IT companies and the cloud, then trust is really the wrong thing. No matter who or what it is.

AI is just making things easier for those companies to abuse that trust even more. People are sharing their code in the hopes of AI making it better, sharing their ideas in the hopes of AI helping them getting somewhere and so on.

And everyone willingly ignores that this information can be stored, analyzed and used against them later.

How naive can you be?
Surface area is squared, volume is cubed, a larger object has to get hotter to expell the same amount of heat.

Per unit of volume, your body produces more heat than the sun, exactly because it is an exponential function.
> if interest rates being high was making housing unaffordable, one would expect prices to be down.

I think you have to be careful with the definition of "unaffordable".

Housing, at this moment, is unaffordable in the sense that the cost of housing squeezes many people's discretionary budget, savings, and even sometimes the budget for necessities. It is not unaffordable in the sense that (most) people do have enough money that they can pay for it, even though paying for it might cause them hardship elsewhere.

Housing is an inelastic good - particularly for demographics who have limited access to transportation and therefore need to live very close to where the jobs are. The price increases until it consumes all the money available to pay for it.
If you're talking about the study that everyone was talking about last week, that definition of "spare bedroom" includes a family of four with three bedrooms who gives each child their own bedroom when they could just have them sleep in the same room.

This is muchhhhh different from how tokenization works today. Adding tokens to the vocabulary is free, everything outside that (i.e. string -> tokens) is going to be a major pain in the ass. Doable but annoying and error prone
Not all of those explode eventually, rather it's a small amount. Only the most massive stars explode into a supernova. The majority of stars are smaller, and will have different lifetimes. For example, the sun, an unusually bright star (brighter than about 95% of stars) will eventually turn into a red giant, slough off material then collapse to a white dwarf. It's estimated that the majority of stars are brown dwarf (very small, some not too-too much larger than Jupiter), and less than 1% of stars are massive enough to go supernova. The problem is that only the big stars go super nova, and the big stars also have the short lifetimes because they're burning fuel so quickly.
Why is the vacancy rate so low in desirable neighborhoods?

Is it that there isn’t enough housing period, in the entire country. Or is it is people and investments abandoning rural areas in favor of a handful of city neighborhoods?

I’m also curious if those vacancy rates can be / have incentive to be gamed by the homeowners, or otherwise don’t paint a very accurate picture. I lived in a wealthy part of NYC for a while, and my apartment faced a courtyard on the interior of the block. As a result, I could see into the windows of 100s of apartments of 3 adjacent buildings. Only maybe like 5 out of 100s of apartments consistently had someone living in them. This reflects my feeling on the street: the streets were empty, especially given the relative density of the apartment buildings.

I know this is anecdotal evidence, but everyone I know that lives in NYC has the same observation.

I wish scientists and experts would take these concerns seriously and research by this gap in perception and the reported vacancy rate is so different.
US White House announces plans to revamp data routing security by year-end
Worth pointing out that there's now a second bus in systemd, varlink. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/varl... https://varlink.org/

Varlink is a bit simpler, I'd say. It's more about individual services opening their own listening sockets, although there is an optional broker too. This somewhat simplifies the addressing model, a little. Messages are in JSON.

More and more of the systemd internals are being written or rewritten to rely on varlink for IPC, and the scuttlebutt is that eventually there's a goal to be able to run dbus free.
I've been using a custom domain for a long time - I have forwarding via improvmx.com that I'm very satisfied with.

I've had no problems. It's good knowing that if I do have any issue with the underlying mail host that I can just point it elsewhere with minimal fuss.

I don't think it adds a lot of value beyond that. Perhaps an iota of geek cred?
That kinda skirts the main reason EVs are being pushed which is that ICEs absorb energy very quickly and then spew massive amounts of byproduct out the back and into the air. EVs are less efficient at storing energy, but vastly more efficient at emissions. And the cost of ICEs are foisted on the entire world and not paid by drivers.
Indeed. "Forensic science" doesn't care about false positives; they only eliminate false negatives. It is not really science. Juries should know better than to rely on it.
I meant IPv4 - one IP might represent thousands of users.

There's nothing efficient about big cities. Hours of commuting by millions of people every day. Tons of excess and waste. You become disconnected from the source of your food which has to be shipped in.

I have not heard of this replication before so I would be glad to see some examples of this! I mean I'm fairly convinced Jesus did exist, I'm just not convinced that they had any of their spiritual powers.

I have definitely not seen our civilization start to collapse though. I'm not even sure what that would look like (maybe a transition to a low-trust society or something)?

Of course, I do not believe everything can be tested by science, but my belief that religion specifically can be tested is because religion describes the most powerful forces in the universe. And not only that, humans can interact with these forces! So we should be able to detect these forces by observing how humans behave when they interact with these forces.
still no chance. Just think of five blind persons and one one-eyed talking about a movie they saw yesterday. While it may make up perfect sense the guys talking about, its still not possible to find what the one-eyed said.

So you take each one's answer and take parts out it synthesize/aligning them all to a perfect sensed prompt. Fed again back into the LLMs, you'll maaaayyyy find whats the proper answer, by finding contradictions in the returns.

Just assume, 5 blind & 1 1-eyed' tell you about the movie. You'll get 6 different answers. Now you take them, mix them and feed them back into LLM. What will happen?

- may be the 1-eyed will correct you / correct the false parts. So you might know "ok, that one is obviously been in the movie. Because he correct me and the others don't"

- may be all of the blinds will correct you and the one-eyed (lets call him cotton' eye joe) dont do it. How you find out which one is correct?

What is actually needed is a stress-maker, a "cortex"-LLM and a few of other ML-types for the domain expertise (like math, physics, ...). The cortex is the main LLM that will be prompted. Cortex utilizes domain experts for answering. Stress-maker always keep the cortex busy in the times, when its not used by a prompter, by synthesizing "questions" that has been seen but answered incorrectly before.

That will simulate our brain, where we have an stress-maker that keep our brain always in thinking. And the other experts like tasting, sensing, hearing, seeing.. etc. But I don't know this is a good approach to solve the problem right now.

Whats needed now is an LLM that can utilize the other LLMs. A multi-translator that understands the syntax and the data of other models. If that is put into existence, than its also possible to build a multi-modal-agent that can fuzz its way into different knowledge-bases and file-formats and what ever. This would be incredible.
Yes, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction is agreed to be 66 mya with some surprisingly tight error bars of about 50k years.

But for the purpose of discussion 100 mya is close enough in terms of orders of magnitude so there's not a need to be pedantic.
I meant 32 bits, of course.
> I mean they could ship rootless docker by default, like podman defaults to rootless (or other by now possible more secure non default setups).

Upstream doesn’t support that configuration as default and it will likely break all the docker tutorials online that assume a rootful daemon. (A quick example: google “Jenkins docker integration” and it will likely tell you to pass through the docker socket)

Hence package maintainers don’t want to take the burden of maintaining that.

Honest question, why do you care about downvotes on an anonymous internet forum?
No, LLMs are deterministic. What you are describing is a randomized seed, which is another input to the LLM. Some interfaces expose this input, and some do not.

Toyota was never a top car manufacturer in terms of safety and efficiency, and especially in the 90s. The Prius came out in the 2000's. The Hilux and Land Cruiser got terrible fuel economy. Their vehicles weren't terribly unsafe, but they didn't invent seat belts, or air bags, or abs, or stability control. They were a top manufacturer in terms of reliability and ease of repair.

What LLMs do and what Evolution does are not the same thing.

Evolution is a process where small changes over a long time create new, more complex organisms. LLMs are not that. LLMs are not evolving themselves, giving themselves new abilities. Just adding more variables to a long list of variables is not the same thing.
It's likely just a selection process similar to politics. Are you willing to lie, mislead, deceive, and sell yourself to the highest bidder? No, well then good luck beating your opponent who is doing all that, going to have more funding, more widespread appeal, and never a single inconvenient position because his positions on everything are whatever polling tells him the voter wants to hear.

Newspapers (and employers in general) can now do similar filtering, if they want to, thanks to social media. If you're not committed to pushing a desired narrative, and willing to spin anything to fit it, then you're not getting hired. And given the state of society today, it's unclear if a newspaper with objective or diverse reporting would be able to compete against the current batch of confirmation bias delivery services.

UK has massively high house prices - at least in "desirable" areas, and some not so desirable ones where it's possible to commute to work in a desirable area.

That doesn't necessarily reflect a shortage, it also reflects availability of money - and therefore the market bearing higher prices. It also reflects the unevenness of the UK economy: the expensive and unaffordable housing is mostly in and around London (where ~all the economic activity is), and in the most scenic of rural areas which is retirees, second-home owners and AirBnB investors. There's plenty of the UK which has affordable housing, but it's too far from anywhere with decent jobs.

The boom in house prices began when it became the norm for educated women to have lifelong progessional careers. All of a sudden there was a huge amount more discretionary income in the educated class. If you consider that, circa 1970, perhaps 20-30% of one male earner's income went on housing and the rest on life's essentials, all of a sudden the potential amount of cash to spend on housing goes from 30% of one income to 130%, a more than 4x increase. It took a while to filter through, sure, but in the end, it has - to the point where most families are now obligated to have two full-time earners.

Housing is a positional good (think about an auction where demand of the most desirable items will always exceed supply), the prices bear almost no relation to rational economic utility and every relation to how much cost people are able to bear. Which is one reason they're so responsive to interest rates i.e. debt affordability.

A 1.49 birth rate and 685k net migration isn't a desirable situation for any country, but the other issue here is the health and productivity of our own population, we're using migrants to prop it up and provide much of the labour needed by the NHS, childcare and elderly care. Our government is massively anti-immigration, and yet immigration remains high, the country can't and won't go cold-turkey on that: it's not practical to do so without further increasing the retirement age, cutting pensions and increasing "sin taxes" to keep a greater proportion of the population healthy enough to work til 70. And that'd be even less popular, politically, than mass immigration.

The reforms the UK needs are to get the economy functioning better in the regions, and to make it much easier to build higher density housing close to where the jobs are. The current system where they can't build apartment blocks on train-station car parks because a bunch of pensioners complain that it spoils their view is massively counterproductive.
Narrowing things down to “this group of people who live together” would be pretty useful forensically, I don’t really see a problem there.
