In theory, perhaps. But you have your DMV for driver's licenses, SSNs and a birth certificate which is essentially a less efficient national ID that everyone has anyway.

The other way around: if you have none of those, you practically can't integrate in open society.
How do you run a DNS server when your address isn't technically static?

For Internet-facing DNS you don't. For your internal resolver you could create a static address within a ULA (e.g. $PREFIX::1).

How do clients discover the DNS server in a SLAAC environment?

Sadly, this no longer really applies. Programmers today do absolutely grotesque things unimaginable to Knuth of that era. One look at any modern pipeline that converts to and from JSON a dozen times, sometimes even inside the same process between modules, would make Knuth recall all of that.

Programmers now have done the impossible: written code so consistently bad that there are no hotspots, because the whole codebase is non-performant trash.
For lying, just as with coding, you just need to develop a ruleset that you can use as a framework that you can apply consistently depending on the person's role within your life/career. You need to divide your lies into a limited number of alternative realities that are easy to keep track of. Then depending on the role of the person you're communicating with, you adhere to one reality or another. This ensures that everyone in the same group operates within the same reality... So when people who exist in the same reality talk to each other, they will believe that you are logically consistent. The challenge is mostly about ensuring that people from different groups/realities you've crafted never meet or talk to each other. With social media filter bubbles nowadays, it barely requires any effort to do this; if the big guys manage to make it work with billions of people, surely you can do it with just your own network.

You could maximize your gains by having a custom-crafted reality tailored for each individual but the risks go up by an order of magnitude since it means that you have to put up and maintain more information barriers between the different participants. Also, they will never trust you fully because that requires confirmation from a third party... And you can never create that social confirmation scenario if every person who knows you has a different reality about you in their minds. It's better to forego some of the bigger potential gains of one-person-one-reality and instead go for a lower risk approach with fewer 'shared realities' with significant overlap between themselves and where the discrepancies between the different realities which you crafted is just enough to yield some benefit for you but can also provide you the social support necessary to generate a certain level of authenticity if doubts arise surrounding some of your more creative money-maker narratives.

As the saying goes, you can't put pandora back in the bag. AI art is here to stay, and it's here to dominate. The problem is the economic system within which art is created and assigned value, any attempts to solve the "problem" of AI art without addressing the underlying economic incentives are destined to fail in the same way that we have failed in preventing the use of sweatshops by clothing suppliers.

Even if we have strong, even overbearing legislation put into place to protect artists, we're just going to end up with the biggest most profitable offenders buying/using illegally trained models through middle men, and feigning ignorance when/if they are found out.

Though most of the "has this model been trained on X" conundrum is likely to be irrelevant on a years (months?) timescale as art styles are far less unique than artists would like to think. See tencent's PhotoMaker or other modified CLIP approaches. Even a model not trained on a particular face can be conditioned to generate said face using a oneshot approach because the vector representing that face can be constructed even if the face itself doesn't exist in the training data. I'm certain the same is true for artistic styles.
The Deep Visualization Toolbox from nearly 10 years ago is solid precedent for understanding deep models, albeit much smaller models than LLMs. It’s hard to say OpenAI’s “visualization” released today is nearly as effective. It could be that GPT-4 is much harder to instrument.

There are definitely easier ways to get IPv6 if you don't want to deal with the networking.

I feel like I'm doing a lot of plugging of IPv6.rs [1], but I guess that's a testament to just how much demand there is for IPv6.

RA message can specify a DNS server.

I suppose it being 79 characters rather than 80 is a little bit unexpected, but I don't think I would call it "weirdly" truncated.
I usually use visual-line-mode and visual-fill-column-mode over hard newlines. But I've always stayed away from hard newlines because I imagined that it would make exporting to another format look janky.
If you read the article rather than selectively quoting antitrust movement on standard oil started in 1880s and culminated in 1911. Likewise Netscape vs Microsoft concluded long after Netscape was very dead. The fact litigation and stuff takes a long time to unfold is not a material fact in such a case. A large part of standard oils erosion of market share was an attempt to prop up their case against breakup as well as headwinds against them due to the governments pursuit.

But it’s a bizarre misreading to say they were not a monopoly to say that by the time things hit the fan they had lost a lot of market share from their peak monopoly.

The specific issues that standard oil hit up against was their deals with railroads that solely benefited them by virtue of their scale and their ability to effectively dictate their own pricing for logistics. Likewise they would buy up all capacity on crucial lines for competitors and only partially use it purely to block market access for competitors. There is also a view that being incredibly efficient can reduce competition in markets adjacent to you. Success in business for an individual company isn’t the only goal of a capitalist state, but rather competition in markets is considered a goal of the state in itself - survival of the fittest implies there’s something to survive against, and an ever expanding monopoly growing into new markets and dominating them starts to retard innovation and competition systemically. You don’t have to agree with the thesis, but that’s the way the system works.
Yeah, this is my number one complaint with all recent open source vision models, and it seems like it is only getting worse. It's verbose to the point of parody, making it extremely difficult to evaluate what it can actually _see_, and what it's just dumbly markov-chaining based on previous text tokens.

In GPT4V, you can prompt around this if you know about it, but none of the people collecting datasets for open models appear know or care to apply that, and so we just get this default GPT4V contamination everywhere.

The only vision model I enjoy is Google Gemini, simply because it will give you a no-nonsense caption. Of course it still hallucinates things that are not there, but getting a color or object wrong is orders of magnitude less bad than having 3 sentences that have nothing to do with the image.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Your link local or ULA is static address and can be used for DNS.

DNS server is advertised when prefix is advertised.
It sounds like you're talking about running a router behind a router which you should try to avoid. If you want to run your own router you should try to put your modem/dish in passthrough mode. Once you do that Starlink works fine.
> This is why it was necessary to beat the Germans first - so the Russians could invade or at least threaten Japan.

That was the strategy that FDR and Churchill agreed to, but the primary person driving it was Stalin, because he didn't want the US and Britain to defeat Japan before he got a chance to attack them, and he knew he would not be able to attack them until Germany was defeated. (He wanted to attack them so he would have a pretext for taking over territory that Russia had lost in the Russo-Japanese war in 1904-1905.) As events proved, the US and Britain did not need any help from the USSR to defeat Japan militarily, and with different diplomatic choices they probably could have gotten Japan to surrender before the USSR attacked.

Once FDR died and Truman took office, btw, it was no longer clear that having the USSR enter the war against Japan was a US objective. Truman, unlike FDR, was not a fan of Stalin and viewed him as a geopolitical threat, not an ally. Which, historically speaking, was a sounder view.
Site local is useful to know about, even if it is technically deprecated. I explained it [1] for a test-setup that has no actual IPv6 connectivity.

Without a non-link-local IPv6 address, resolvers will often omit IPv6 addresses in their response.

Another big difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is in the localhost address scheme.

IPv4: 127.0.0.1/8 - 24 bits of free addresses
IPv6: ::1/128 - no free addresses

Many people won’t care about this but some local hacks make use the localhost address space for fun and profit.

This is nuts. like a replay of 2021 again. A lot of people expected Kitty's return would fizzle out two week ago. It looks like he has staying power. There was much critcism in 2021 that the regulators stepped in to protect hedge funds that lost money shorting GME, but then those same regulators seem content watching the exact same thing replay in 2024.

'Meme investing' change everything. In the past, activists would have to present a case to Wall St. as to why a stock was mispriced. This typically would cause a small and short-lived movement of the stock, but meme-induced gains are much bigger and last much longer as the media and retail investors fan the flames of the hype, which builds on itself until reaching a crescendo weeks later.
Thanks, you answered the question I came here to ask, i.e. why did it need a lock for a random number, what are the tradeoffs of using the non locking version. Makes sense.
I've taken to buying a .xyz that (mostly) matches the mobile phone number for each of my family.

That costs me about $10 for 5 years.. I then point it to whatever service they're like me to host for them.

The offer is being slow on the uptake atm, but I am in the middle of migrating from google photos to immich and that has garnered some interest
This reminds me of the fact that Go 1.20 added a clever optimization: If you call `rand.Seed` to seed the global RNG, it's assumed that you want it to produce a single deterministic sequence across all threads/goroutines, which requires locking. But if you never explicitly seed it, you get a different implementation that uses thread-local RNG state without locking.

(In practice, there is no way for a program to distinguish this from a single RNG that was initialized with a truly random seed that you can't recover, so it doesn't break backwards compatibility.)

Unfortunately, the C standard prescribes that failing to call `srand` must be equivalent to calling `srand(1)`, so I don't think glibc can get away with this trick.

Personally I think it's kind of silly that we've normalized the idea of PRNGs-as-global-state. I'm not asking everyone to go Full Monad, but please just consider giving each Thing that needs access to randomness its own independent PRNG.
I haven't read most of your comment, but you're entirely and embarrassingly wrong at every conceivable level. The guidelines don't say anything about complaining, only that you shouldn't comment on whether or not someone read the article.
I don’t think there’s any advantage to that. Also, how do you deal with immigrants who weren’t even born in any state? Or are you relying that state records track people as they move? That seems unwise given how bad states are at maintaining those records / people tend to often not update the state about moving. Or do you have a national registry for immigrants and a statewide for those those born within the US? Oh and how do you deal with children of soldiers who aren’t actually necessarily living in a state?

It’s much simpler to eat the cost of a national registry and avoid all sorts of logistical challenges of coordinating across 50 States’ and 5 territories IT systems and disparate standards on record keeping.
> 20 years later, as an adult, I'm living a genuinely happy life, because I'm not forced to live according to a neurotypical schedule anymore.

Perhaps you can appreciate that 20 years is a long time and therapy/medicine has changed a lot since then.

I'm really sorry that therapy was terrible for you. That sucks. However, you do need to realize that not all therapy is ABA and that ABA itself has changed substantially in the last 20 years. A lot of the therapy that my kid gets has built in breaks for the kid to make sure they aren't overwhelmed, there are certainly days when the session is basically "we couldn't do anything today because your child seems overwhelmed".

School is also different. My kid's school has a dedicated room for kids to volunarily go to when they are feeling overstimulated. Most IEPs (US) provision that for kids primarily in general education they get pull outs as needed if they are feeling (or appear to be) overstimulated. My kid wears headphones most of the day because noise bothers them.

The goals of my kid's therapies are life skills, Communication and personal care. We aren't trying to make them not autistic, we are trying to make sure they can brush their teeth and dress themselves. Do you really think those sorts of therapy goals should be abandoned?
Getting it human rated is likely much harder than reusing the upper stage a couple of times. The difficulty is that Starship has 1) no launch abort system, and 2) the belly flop landing is much more dangerous than conventional and proven capsule based landing. To get the system human rated, they may have to fly tens or even hundreds of flawless cargo missions first.

What is the distinction between a state registry and a national registry? Besides the ever popular fallback to a founding document, is there any real difference in implementation if it's done either way?

I'd say a big difference would be some system where there is no central registry at all vs. a system where one does exist. But a pseudo-central vs. central system hardly seems like a different solution.

Perhaps one benefit of a segmented or partitioned system is that it can be 'disconnected', but that would also mean that if you need to interact with anything non-local that is now also not possible. And the other way around it would do the same thing (i.e. "depeering" a partition) where you wouldn't be able to verify any identity within that partition.
The generator state should either be part of the API or be thread local, but there are probably complex implications regarding the long legacy of libc.

It is, until you're an adult and they want a tic-tac-toe rendition for a fintech. Ok, sure kid. A more serious fintech had a CoderPad that wouldn't compile a line of Swift; we laughed, switched to Xcode, and enjoyed our time together making actual software related to their SDK. The whole point is to understand how people think... so let them think with the tooling they think with.
Yeah, I looked into prizes and grants, too, and the amount awarded there is usually quite measly. Patents don't work either because for geoengineering to not be circumvented you'd need a global patent (which don't exist yet) or patent in literally every jurisdiction which, of course, would cost a ton of money. The problem is also: If someone infringes on my patent with the intention to eventually file for bankruptcy after I sue then I'll be never made whole. So why even bother?

What irks me so hard is that my invention does not just have the potential to avert damages, but also to open doors to investment opportunities that probably number in the trillions -- of which I wouldn't see a single effin' dime simply because the legal system ignores the causality.
lol, if you don’t like your power grid, in Texas you can choose amongst 30 other power companies to provide your electricity. In other states you’re at the whims and high prices of a local monopoly.

•If one isn’t reliable; pick a different one.

•If one jacked up prices; pick a different one.

•If you want to sell solar, wind, or stored battery electricity back to the grid, pick one that will let you. Battery is sometimes the most benefit/cost with a tiered pricing option.

tl;dr: Berkeley researchers trained models on a possibly-accidentally-leaked Chinese dataset -- images of US naval ships, suspiciously labeled with bounding boxes around their radar systems.

They're making the point that training models like this can give some intelligence towards another country's ML capabilities (here, China). In my opinion, a cool work that has way more "contribution" than your average AI conference paper.

I'm curious how you read that as an endorsement for that sort of behavior?

Your 'but indigenous peoples' reeks of point scoring behavior. If you wanted to explore that topic you'd be more specific. If you were engaging in good faith you might assume that I'm generally opposed to genocide. Taking an abstract point about theft and property laws to accuse me of endorsing genocide ('immoral barbarism') is not good behavior.

US gets all this ‘hatred’ because it has outsized influence on the world, either though it’s corporate or very active foreign policy. So when US is up to something dumb it spills over.

No one is hating on Mongolia because their problems don’t affect anyone else.

Natural consequence of exercising influence from the top is that you have a target on your back.

Most products that make money had a very long journey to get there, AirTable being a good example.

SaaS is a product for a person in a role that does a job.

Even no code tools like AirTable are mostly sold to internal ops team members and consultants.

If your product enables someone to get a promotion or solve a problem with less friction, you’ve got a shot.

Flatfile is a good example of “search > solve” pipeline products. If you can own top listing for a common challenge for knowledge workers, you can create a brand and then become the tool everyone mentions when solving a problem.

Don’t be too discouraged. Often there are 1,000s of products built to solve a problem but only one becomes “the” product for that problem.

Products are just packages for meeting the needs of a market you can connect with. If you need ideas on products to build, start by offering a service. If people will pay for the service, you’ve got a great chance there’s a market to pay for a product.

Another approach is to crawl web forums for popular products and build a niche solution for a user that complains without response. I’ve been stunned to see that the same startups are launched all the time (like digital notary) and grow very quickly to $10M even though there are well-know products in that space already. Loops is another great example.

> no, because if the 35% included interest payments, then if hypothetically there were no interest payments, my tax burden would be 30% now (no 5% taxes to interest)

No. To illustrate one element of the complexity, imagine we just defaulted on our debt and ignore the credit (but not asset) consequences. No more government debt. Let's now assume that no new spending is allowed, and the surplus must be returned in the form of tax cuts.

You would expect the surplus to vastly exceed the amount of interest being paid. Because now we're talking about principal, too. You'd also expect tax receipts to fall as everyone who expected those interest payments pulls back spending. That money paid to Americans supports the economy--and through it, taxation--in a complicatedly circular way.

(You're also conflating personal income and GDP, but we'll let that slip and count any taxes you incur directly or indirectly, as taxes you pay.)

> effectively whether by monetary inflation or taxes, taxpayers still pays the same amount, just a matter of when and in what way

No, that's the point. Inflation is heterogenous in a way taxation is not. You could erode the purchasing power of a Treasury by $1 without causing a commensurate amount of inflation. It might be more or less depending on a number of factors.

Your mental model works for a small country with a pegged currency, e.g. Panama. It doesn't when we consider monetary effects.
