>Cox's support organization was presented with a compromised device being handed to them by an infosec professional, and they couldn't handle it effectively at all.

I can't really blame them. The number of customers able to qualify that a device has actually been hacked is nearly zero. But do you know how many naive users out there that will call/visit because they think they've been hacked? It's unfortunately larger than the former. And that'll cost the business money. When 99.9% of those cases, the user is wrong. They have not been hacked. I say this as someone who supported home users in the 2000s. Home users that often think they'd been "hacked".
Aren't those sort of different things? I thought the whole point of provability was that it was distinct from truth.

> Still, imho it is somewhat cruel that society has simply decided that extroverts can and should force introverts into socializing

It's not more cruel than introverts forcing extroverts into not socializing.

> It is not the job of employees to provide extroverts the ability to "have more fun".

No, but if a company wants to retain employees who want to have fun at work they'll make decisions that lead to that.

Having fun at work is no more a right than not having fun at work is a right.
Okay, I'm struck that 90% of the comments in a post about Claude being unavailable are complaints that ChatGPT is unavailable. I guess that probably corresponds to the companies respective share of the market?

Anyway, my tale of woe and recovery re the great centralized chatbot outage was turning to use MLCChat on my phone running a Mistral 7b model and being happily surprised it could actually summarize and answer questions about (though slowly) an article I didn't want to read in its entirety. Although, I didn't quite trust it, so I read the article anyway. The summary wasn't too bad, though. Good to know.
> Well that escalated quickly!

It didn't escalate quickly, you just didn't read the comment you replied to.

> I think in that case, the artillery shell production will be last of our concerns.

We're talking about the buildup of the chinese navy, not artillery shells. Though indeed, the presence of a massive nuclear arsenal renders the relative strength of conventional forces irrelevant for total war.

> China will progressively increase their exercises. First as like now to involve 50 airplanes and 20 ships...then 100 planes and 50 ships...then 250 planes and 100 ships, getting closer and closer to the last 20 to 25 miles of Taiwan, until the day the exercise will become an incursion, that goes for directly targeting heads of government. Probably by then hundreds of soldiers disguised as business men already will be in Taiwan.

I don't think you understand what is involved in launching a naval invasion. Taiwan has 23 million people, a standing army of 180,000 and 1.7 million reservists, and defensible terrain. A successful invasion without any US support would still be an undertaking an order of magnitude larger than D-day; its preparation would take months and be clearly visible to satellite imagery. Building the ships necessary to transport the troops would take years, and be at the expense of other naval production. Ships in transit and troops at mustering stations would be vulnerable to Taiwanese missile strikes. Whatever troops China managed to land would be severely outnumbered and outgunned by an entrenched opponent.

> Even if the US decides to intervene it will arrive days to weeks too late

The US would already be there. Again, they'ed have months if not years of advanced warning. There are already numerous American bases in the area, and America would likely pre-position forces on Taiwan itself if an attack was imminent. At the very least, it would lift restrictions on arms exports to Taiwan, allowing it to even better prepare its own defenses.

> You build a very strong army, either to defend or to attack. Nobody is a threat to China or want's anything from China, so they are not creating an army to defend assets...

China faced a century of humiliation because everyone wanted something from them and they had no means to defend their assets. They have long standing feuds with nearly every nation in the region. They are jockeying for position with the world's leading power. The claim they have no concerns about defense is absurd.

According to the Cambridge English Dictionary:

> refrain, n. a short part of a song or poem that is repeated, esp. at the end of each longer part, or any phrase that is often repeated

Verbing nouns is a very common feature of the English language.
People will omit applying any amount of critical thinking if they agree with the basic premise/contents of something they read.

That's how we have Schrödinger's Russia, one that keeps fumbling every day and loses 1000+ soldiers a day, whose soldiers have run out of basic equipment and are fighting with shovels (no, I'm not joking https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64855760), all the while being absolutely crippled by sanctions. Truly a laughing stock, right?

Yet they are also somehow about to launch a full-scale invasion of entire Europe, while currently _undermining democracy_ (my favorite phrase) in the entire Western sphere.

I'd love to use local models, but seems like most of the easy to use software out there (LM Studio, Backyard AI, koboldcpp) doesn't really play all that nicely with my Intel Arc GPU and it's painfully slow on my Ryzen 5 4500. Even my M1 MacBook isn't that fast at generating text with even 7B models.

I wonder if llama.cpp with SYCL could help, will have to try it out: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/README-sy...

But even if that worked, I'd still have the problem that IDEs and whatever else I have open already eats most of the 32 GB of RAM my desktop PC has. Whereas if I ran a small code model on the MacBook and connected to it through my PC, it'd still probably be too slow for autocomplete, when compared to GitHub Copilot and less accurate than ChatGPT or Phind for most stuff.

Is this a "Bookworm's book?"

Much like a "skier's mountain" or a "band's band," is this the kind of book that only appeals to a narrow audience that likes to pick apart the mechanics of a book?

Or is this a book like Harry Potter, which was panned by the critics, but otherwise is awesome popular fiction?

It's a good book that I've read a couple of times but a tiring one. Nabokov puts so many traps and misdirections in it that it becomes a cryptic crossword in a distant language. He is a very smart and clever guy and never tires of reminding the reader of it. He lampoons academia while enabling many an academic career in the process. There are professors aplenty specializing in Nabokov and some in Pale Fire itself.

For s&g I read "Nabokov's Pale Fire : The Magic of Artistic Discovery" by Brian Boyd, one of the aforementioned. It was interesting at first to see how literary criticsm and analysis work but eventually I had a Shatner moment.
With astronomy, where the data are mainly derived from observations and simulations, no one is spreading alarms that it is not science. While with RCTs - and specifically RCTs in the filed of human cognitive neuroscience and psychedelics - there is all this monkey circus regarding whether placebos or psychedelic experiences are real. In human neuroscience ~80% of data is derived as well from observations and is effectively non-reverse-engineerable, while the hype regarding pseudoscience is much higher.

You buy aspirin in a pharmacy and the drug's instruction label lists tons of adverse effects - this is obviously a seemingly high quality of knowledge resulting from hard work in RCTs. Yet, there's absolutely no information predicting which exact adverse/beneficial effects will manifest in a specific person in a specific state of consciousness - and this is the actual empirical level where RCT derived information should actually matter and where it is ~50% useless (due to lack of context in RCTs themselves).
They really are the Yin and Yang of Minecraft.

I have not yet read Pale Fire, but I loved Lolita and hope to read it soon. Nabokov's writing is so rich, the writing itself (aside from the story!) is worth lingering over and savoring. I've only found a few other writers with a similar quality - Proust, Milton, perhaps Cormac McCarthy and Toni Morrison. Does anyone know of authors with a similar property? I'm not even sure what to call it, so it's difficult to search for.
I am currently streaming my work on migrating HomelabOS from a docker-compose based implementation to a k8s (actually k3s) based implementation. With Longhorn backing it, I'm pretty excited by the possibilities. It will stay as generic as HomelabOS is, so it will be deployable on anything from a pi on up to big cloud machines.

I won't be doing any 3d printing or anything like that though, so what the author here is doing looks fun in it's own right!

That's true but in this case the noun and verb forms of refrain have distinct meanings and come into English from different sources:

I don't think so. Kana just don't have enough entropy compares to Kanji. A kanji can be compose with up to twenty strokes with high variety of stroke patterns. Those excessive complexity make it identifiable even in extreme situations. (Blurry or tainted or whatever situation). In some case, a kanji with half of its size masked still be decoded without any ambiguity. But this will never work with an voice based language.
I take this as very good news because like Andreas I am much more interested in the browser too. (I never liked the OS aesthetic they are targeting when it was current and I don't care for it now).

Though I wish they still targeted Serenity OS. I guess the expectation is for someone to fork the more general browser to Serenity at a later date. That's not a bad plan either since the incompleteness of the OS is bound to hold the browser back.

This whole thing is one of my most favorite things to happen in open source software. Andreas already succeeded in getting people to look at OS and browser development in a new way. All the best to them.

As a professional poker player, using weirdo denominations for cash games is not something anyone ever wants.

The denominations are $1, $5, $25, $100, or $5, $25, $100, $500, or $5, $25, $100, $1000.

In Vegas, the $5s are almost always red, the $25s are almost always green, and the $100s are almost always black.

Even the $10 chips in use for the 5/10 games at the Wynn and Resorts World throw off a lot of players.

Casinos frequently have $2 chips simply because it makes dropping the rake take less volume and allows them to change the boxes less frequently. You don’t need them in a home game.

This might be an interesting math problem, but let’s not pretend that it has any applications in actual poker games.

Right, of course. Rightholders make it difficult for some of these catalogs to offer EVERYTHING as a consistent DRM-free product at a reasonable price, so they play games with only offering some of their catalog here, and other parts there. (And some parts, not even at all)

It'd be awfully nice if the all the major labels offered a site where you can exchange a a reasonable amount of money for any track in their catalog, but it seems market forces make that a non-starter.

Show HN: A context-aware semantic cache for reducing LLM app latency and cost
We're Tom and Adrian, the cofounders of Canonical AI. We were building a conversational AI product and wanted to use semantic caching. We tried out a few different projects, but none of them were accurate enough. The problem with the semantic caches we tried was that they didn't have a sense of the context of the user query. That is, the same user query could mean two different things, depending on what the query is referencing.

So we changed course and started working on a semantic cache that understands the context of the user query. We've developed a number of different methods to make the cache more aware of the context. These methods include multi-tenancy (i.e., user-defined cache scopes), multi-turn cache keys, metadata tagging, etc.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

This is hilarious. I bought the book after watching Blade Runner 2049. There's a scene where some of book was being recited as part of the protagonist's anti-empathy test and I figured it had to have a deeper importance to the writers so I grabbed it on a whim. It's been sitting on my shelf. Now I'll have to move it up the list after seeing this.

I've done the same thing with Pi 3Bs/4s basically for the same reasons. I definitely ran into the limitations of the SDCards and set up USB drives and NAS storage class for better performance. I ended up running my own docker registry on my NAS and running all of the images through that before deploying to the k3s cluster. I also hooked up container scanning and automated it the deployments through ansible.

Things I would do differently are using NixOS or bootable containers (CentOS) (side note, bootable NixOS container would be a killer app) and writing my own helm charts instead of fully customizing my manifests and doing the deployments from ansible, and would recommend against Raspberry Pis for the compute as the 3's and 4's don't support limits, e.g. cpu or ram limits, and I wasn't able to set up firecracker containers correctly on the Pis.

I'm also exploring hyperconvergence infrastructure (HCI) as that seems more like my ultimate goal for homelab stuff.
This a great move.

I will instantly uninstall Instagram the first time this happens to me and not come back like I did with YouTube. I'll get more useful stuff done and have higher quality down time.
Ugh, good luck.

I tried doing a homelab with six Nvidia Jetson Nanos using K8S, maintained it for about a year, and I have no desire to ever do that again. I ended up just buying a single rack mount server and using that for two years, and now I bought a mini gaming computer which I use as a single server. Maintaining the k8s cluster was becoming a second job that actually costs me money, that I enjoyed less and less every day, and it made me dread actually using any aspect of my server, meaning that when something broke it would take me a long time to actually muster up the strength to fix anything. My home server runs a Transmission server, Jellyfin, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Cassandra, and RabbitMQ, with 32 gigs of RAM, and it works fine.

Distributed systems are cool and they're fun to play with, but the combinatorial explosion of maintenance shouldn't be underestimated. If you're making something that needs to serve 10,000+ users, then it's probably worth it, but homelabs generally aren't that. Generally a homelab situation has like a Plex/Emby/Jellyfin server, a torrent server, a reverse proxy, maybe some kind of message queuing solution, and it generally only has like four concurrent users.

Obviously if your goal is to learn K8s, then doing it with a bunch of Raspberry Pis isn't a bad idea at all, and try to have fun doing it. However, I would warn anyone thinking that they're going to make their NAS a k8s cluster, you're likely going to regret it. I recommend buying a slightly beefier computer and just installing NixOS or something.
The 'hook' of Pale Fire is this: ostensibly you're reading a long-form poem with a foreword and footnotes and editing by a friend of the poet (a poet of some eminence), but it soon becomes apparent that the editor is trying to jam his own life story into those footnotes.

Another example illustrating how ads are like an invasive, malignant cancer that spreads relentlessly. You can try to remove it from one platform, but it always seems to return.

In music, a refrain is a passage that we return to rather than continuing to progress the song. When we hear refrain as a verb, the metaphor tends to focus on the "abstaining from something else" aspect, but here she's focusing on the "repeated passage" aspect. It's not a common use but it basically works.

Shade's diminished excitement for evidence of the afterlife after meeting "Mrs.Z" was a surprisingly funny moment in the poem (even before he discovered the misprint of mountain to fountain). So much so that I wasn't sure if I was misinterpreting the poems content.

Intent matters.

A doctor prescribing you drug X because they think it's the best treatment for you is different than a doctor prescribing drug X because they get a kickback for doing so or have a lot of stock in the company.

A car crash because a driver made an honest mistake is different from a road raging driver intentionally ramming another car.

The difference between first degree murder, 2nd degree, manslaughter etc mostly comes down to intent and planning.

A person writing about a stock for Bloomberg because Bloomberg pays their salary to do stock analysis is different from a person buying call options and then pumping the stock so they can profit from the buying behavior of the people they manipulated.

And of course, all of these are full of subjective assessments. Most people looking at the "meme stocks" and corresponding subreddits, discords, tweets etc are going to come to the conclusion that there is intentional manipulation happening. But maybe somebody with autism or who speaks English as as second language or comes from a very different cultural context wouldn't be able to differentiate, and would come to a different subjective understanding.

Just one example, but I was failed on a technical I took recently. It had a runtime, so not a whiteboard. But the editor I had to use provided no checking and I only found out after minutes of work that debugger breakpoints were not supported (the interviewer had not used them before)
