whats missing from the reuse picture for things like operating systems, compilers (somwhat), and databases is systems that use a 'lego' model of components that can be put together into solutions rather than deployable systems (which can clearly be built on top).

this provdies room for doing real customization without having to build all the things from ground zero, and is likely to be more robust than trying to attach functionality fully on the outside like was done here.

in the database world it would be really nice to implement caching and sharding extensions inside the transactional envelope

If these people don't know what to do with themselves next that much, they should so something useful, like learn git, instead of implementing fail2ban-style features that nobody needs or wants in the software itself.

People who want this sort of thing and already have a single solution that handles multiple services have to complicate their setup in order to integrate this. They keep their existing solution for monitoring their web and mail server logs or whatever and then have this separate config to deal with for OpenSSH.

What if you don't want to refuse connections that exhibit "undesirable behavior" but do something else, like become a black hole to that IP address, and perhaps others in the IP range?

You want the flexibility to script arbitrary actions when arbitrary events are observed.

Maaaybe. I've not seen any strong evidence for that. It's also possible that multiple groups independently came to think that smearing Columbus' detractors was a useful thing for them to do.
I’m plenty savvy and I’d like that AI thing. I’d just like it to be more discerning about what it records, and managed in a way that’s not a pinkie-swear promise to protect my privacy. MS has a track record both long and recent that shows they’re not the appropriate stewards of this data. I don’t even see MS as mustache-twirling villains in general, just incompetent at an organizational level to stand up to whatever scheme any individual mustache-twirling marketing middle manager comes up with.

The services in question are provided by the local municipality - and they don’t receive extra government funding for this. So unlike a regular citizen who registers on a real street, from whom the city typically collects taxes, a homeless citizen brings costs without bringing many “benefits” (from a purely economic perspective).

As for why they mandate the creation of these fictitious streets, it’s because Italy’s administrative system is obsessed with linking people to an address in a way that is absolutely alien to many foreigners. When you change address the police literally come round to check you

> Your browsing history is unlikely to contain [...] porn images

Of all the places on your computer that might contain porn images, that would be one of the very top candidates.
This is still the same issue. Simply saying a building is "vacant and unused" and is therefor qualified for confiscation (which is effectively what squatting is), would be a travesty.

I owned a house that was "vacant and unused" for many months before I could sell it. I moved in with my wife-to-be, and it turned out to be right at the housing market crash. Sale fell through, zero interest for months, so we took it off the market and invested in some upgrades. There were many months where there was zero activity, except for intermittently mowing the lawn or clearing the snow. Eventually, we made some upgrades, put it back on the market and sold it.

Had someone squatted in that house, especially with the typical trashing of the place, we would have lost both houses and been affected for decades.

Yet you are saying this would be OK for someone to just move in because we're having a hard time getting it sold? Seriously? (if so, my response to your lack of knowledge about how things actually work and your lack of ethics is unprintable in polite society)
The legend of “eureka” is that a fellow who had a specific problem in mind noticed something specific to his problem. Discoveries like sticky notes are not the same thing.
Sure; originally it was about having the best graphics and OpenCL drivers for my development needs, and that I've been an MSVC user since version 5. My hate for Windows pales in comparison to things like CMake / the overarching philosophy that every bit of software needs its own configuration language and cmdline arg convention, things like that.

Around the time of Windows 7 for example, to me there was just no contest whatsoever in terms of ease of use, no shaming / cargo culting (Apple can piss right off telling me that my scroll direction is "unnatural" and pushing me to use Apple-everything, users putting stickers on their cars etc), ... Windows is just the default for people coming from a gamedev and graphics background from the 90s, for better or worse. I'm painfully aware of its shortcomings, and I don't want to champion Windows, it's just what made me hate my life least on average :)
Truffle/Graal is also able to do some insanely cool things related to optimizing across FFI boundries: if you have a Java program that uses the Truffle javascript engine for scripting, Truffle is able to do JIT optimization transparently across the FFI boundry so it has 0 overhead. IIRC they even have some special API to allow a Truffle->native C library to be exposed to the runtime in a way that allows for it to optimize away a lot of FFI overhead or inline the native function into the trace. They were advertising this "Polyglot VM" functionality a lot a few years ago, although now their marketing mostly focuses on the NativeImage part (which helps a lot with the slow startup you mention).

TruffleRuby even had the extremely big brain idea of running a Truffle interpreter for C for native extensions instead of actually compiling them to native code, just so that Truffle can optimize transparently across FFI boundaries. https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/cext/
I’m claiming a direct causality between how terrible the nukes were and how peaceful the subsequent decades have been.

The cold war was cold because of M.A.D.

And I will compare any periods I want. The nukes fell in 1945, so I compare all of human history before that and after that. There’s a clear and massive decline even if you only look at pre-1914 rates.
Proof? So you're telling me you don't understand what a "principle" is basically. I define autonomy exactly how I said it. Adults should be able to do with their own bodies as they see fit, including consenting to any and every act done with another consenting adult. I say adults here because I do believe carving out some small exceptions for people who aren't fully able to take care of themselves is necessary, but I also think minors should have way more rights than most governments give them, just not all of those we afford adults

The entire concept of "human rights" is premised on the idea that there are some principles that should override "the will of the people", which without any kind of protections of rights amounts to simple mob rule. I don't think you should get to lynch someone because the whole village doesn't like them, and I don't think the government should get to tell you what to do in the bedroom or what drugs you can take, regardless of what you can get a howling mob to think. I swear they don't teach people basic ethics these days. Or maybe it's just tech people? No wonder this industry's a garbage fire right now

I'm a little more optimistic. Cortana was mandatory at first. Not easy for the average user to disable. Then Cortana was optional. Easy to turn off and uninstall. Then Cortana was just gone. Floated off to the big orbital in the sky.

This reminds me of Zed Shaw's Utu protocol from back in the day:

I am not a crypto guy, but my understanding is that users can downvote each other, and the more downvotes a user gets the harder the proof-of-work problem they had to solve before they post. If you received enough hate, your CPU would spike for a couple of minutes each time you tried to post, thus disincentivizing bad behavior.

I see on github the project is officially dead now:

> Of course it is slander to say that somebody's reputation is damaged.

Of course it is not. Reputations are, by definition, opinions. And opinions are subjective.

> because he sold his own business?

If you’re not going to engage in good faith and will just keep repeating the exact same argument after its inaccuracy has been pointed out to you, I don’t see the point in continuing the conversation.

Engage with the words, not the strawman in your head.

> you should calm down

I am calm. Again, you’re projecting what you want to see, not the reality.
> I don’t think we want AGI for most tasks unless the intent is to produce suffering in sentient beings.

Each letter of "AGI" means different things to different people, and some use the combination to mean something not present in any of the initials.

The definition OpenAI uses is for economic impact, so for them, they do want what they call AGI for most tasks.

I have the opposite problem with the definition, as for me, InstructGPT met my long-standing definition of "artificial intelligence" while suddenly demonstrating generality in that it could perform arbitrary tasks rather than just next-token prediction… but nobody else seems to like that, and I'm a linguistic descriptivist, so I have to accept words aren't being used the way I expected and adapt rather than huff.
> With IPv6 on the other hand, it is trivially easy to get a new IP

OpenSSH already seems to take that into account by allowing you to penalize not just a single IP, but also an entire subnet. Enable that to penalize an entire /64 for IPv6, and you're in pretty much the same scenario as "single IPv4 address".

I think there's some limited value in it. It could be a neat alternative to allowlisting your own IP which doesn't completely block you from accessing it from other locations. Block larger subnets at once if you don't care about access from residential connections, and it would act as a very basic filter to make annoying attacks stop. Not providing any real security, but at least you're not spending any CPU cycles on them.

On the other hand, I can definitely see CGNAT resulting in accidental or intentional lockouts for the real owner. Enabling it by default on all installations probably isn't the best choice.

I think about it the other way. Businesses with high $/revenue per employee, high margin, etc. tend to be fundamentally better managed and more robust.

I'm not claiming that applies to Nvidia either way specifically, but it's a good sign in the generic:

1. They're efficient.

2. They've avoided the curse of overhiring (hi, Google!)

3. They can stay afloat even if business drops a lot.
3) schools, and 4) parents.
Been on Slackware for over a decade, other linuxen for decades since 2000. Did end up getting a Windows laptop for power usage of Excel, which it's the only thing that'll run, but otherwise don't know why anyone puts up with all the BS that comes with it as a primary system. I'm far too lazy for all that.
TSMC can charge as much as the market will bear. Nvidia already moved their production once to Samsung for the 3000 series GPUs just to call TSMCs bluff.

TSMC are the best in town, but they're also not the only game in town. Pretty sure Intel and Samsung are constantly tempting Nvidia with good offers, which Nvidia can use as leverage in negotiations to keep TSMC prices in check.

Employer IT departments already have access to and can install any number of tracking and screen-watching products to monitor their employess on work-issued computers. It's perfectly legal though in my view pretty scummy behavior.
Today, our industries abuse our planet's resources for the short term benefit of all of us. Abolishing landfills is a confirmation that we are past such a myopic technological level. We no longer need them.

> Drive outside a major city sometime.

Growing up in the suburbs, I understand this quite well. But this land is not ours just because it is there and unused. We need to return a majority of the earth back to the ecology. Monkeys are falling out of trees in Mexico, 50% of bugs and birds are dead due to the ecocide, I could go on.

Just referencing 'unused land' as if it is ours to use by default is a gross misunderstanding and human-centric approach to ecology. There is more than us here.
People overly focus on the M and completely forget about the V in MVP.
This is a modern reinterpretation of the concept, not the tool. No reason an option can't go at the end unless you're determined to copy limits from the past. If so, maybe just use find and save yourself the trouble.

Interspersed/intermixed options have been around for quite a while, though not certain they made their way to golang. If not, the program could handle argument processing itself.
RTA, Microsoft announced changes to the security model to prevent that.
Seems like a very juicy target.

These extensions should not store any data without a master password that you input every time.

What if someone stole the signing key, and submitted an update to Chrome store, even for a little? Oh wait that is only for Chrome Apps. For extensions, they can literally update themselves anytime. Someone would just have to steal the certificate.

If an extension that reads all data uses a CDN (like CloudFlare) that CDN can execute a MITM attack against it and download new code, that would he catastrophic even if it was caught 1 day later.
Gamers will believe anything a company they like tells them. The fact that these companies can attract arguably the most insufferably delusional audience of frothing bootlickers to ever walk the earth to defend them doesn't justify their decisions on a technical or an ethical level

If the explanation for why a company needs a rootkit is "they don't want to spend effort on a better solution" that means that solving cheating isn't a priority for them, and if we care about that we shouldn't buy their game. It especially doesn't mean you should accept a rootkit to buy their game
The tweeter is an application that is used to download YouTube videos. They got a “confirm you’re not a bot” challenge which is very different from the headline “blocking logged out access”.

Do we have this from a source that is perhaps more reliable?
Yes it does. Moral progress is a real thing. Standards rise over time. Alexander the Great would be a war criminal today, and yet he was considered a relatively easygoing ruler at the time.
This tweet is speculation, there is no evidence presented in the thread that it is A/B testing.

The message says "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot." Given that this message is being presented to Cobalt, an automated downloader tool, it seems likely that YouTube has detected bot activity and is throwing up barriers to stop botting.

That is very different than the implication that YouTube is testing out the idea of blocking human users from watching while logged out.
"However, reports and allegations regarding the treatment of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities in the region have led to calls for more transparency and ethical considerations in the supply chain."

“Blue Origin's New Glenn landing barge is named Landing Platform Vessel 1.” I’m quite amused by the light hearted creativity of Big Aerospace.
Unfortunately "pin to quick access" doesn't do anything for this "all tasks" folder.
Yeah, a few times. Got burned very early on installing Slackware from about 10 billion stiffie disks, and have kept up reasonable effort to be a responsible nerd and keep trying it, but every time there's some roadblock; when I was younger gaming was one example, being an MSVC dev has been a constant throughout, and yeah the ordeal with drivers is also more or less a constant.

I'm an OpenCL guy, not even using CUDA, and have had a decent enough experience with AMD's drivers, but that wasn't enough. I still think MSVC, again with all its flaws, is the best C++ IDE (I've similarly tried them all, repeatedly over decades).
> I'm not sure who at the org is pushing for this as it would essentially hand the PC games market to SteamOS.

PC games can already be played on a remote server, using services like Stadia, so it would not necessarily hand the PC games market to local Linux-based devices running SteamOS (like the Steam Deck).
Even the startup I worked at in my last job didn't let people just spin up whatever resources they felt like in AWS. Changes had to go through architecture/security review, and I might have been the only SDE who was allowed to log into AWS at all. We were subject to SOC 2, but I imagine it's relatively common for SaaS companies to have some kind of compliance framework assuming they want F500s as customers?
Interestingly enough, this does not track with experiences of most of my network - employers are usually happy (and sometimes mandate, which is not that good) to pay for Resharper, which carries over to Rider without issue.
Yes you can, you just have to be willing to accept that the answer might be "oh yeah it is literally where my sword scarred the earth when I sent the Devil back to Hell, and by hearing this directly from my mouth you are now eligible to be enlisted in the secret society that makes sure it never opens again; go to theswordofstmichaels.org and apply for an account if you want to know more about the perks, responsibilities, and dangers of joining."
Starship separation from booster could be the launch abort system. There is no landing abort system.

My concern is that the flip maneuver is just too risky for landing with people on board even if Starship manages to do 200 perfect landings in a row (that would be a better record than the Shuttle).
Ok -

The most substantial claims for LLMs today come from 2 general areas - code copilots (github published, google published), and reduction in time to proficiency for new hires. That said, it may unlock additional capabilities.

Additionally, language processing has a massive gap when it comes to languages that most of humanity speaks. (Gabriel Nichols, CDT paper)

It appears that LLM capability growth is likely to plateau, although this is to be confirmed. https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.04125

Furthermore, having seen GenAI deployments in workplaces, they also suffer from those issues that plague all ML and AI projects.

As initially stated, Cargo containers work across cultures, are standardized across humanity, and underpin all our goods transport.

Given an infinite timeline, it is well likely that cargo containers will outperform LLMs, because the market for pure information will always be at the mercy of physical goods required to generate that information.

So even if LLMs magically improve and become all pervasive gods, they will still need to transfer goods using cargo containers.

Given that this is a HN comment, and not a dissertation, within that social context, I submit that the original postulate, was correct and sufficient.
What the heck is potential?

I mean, I’m roughly familiar with the physical notion, but it doesn’t seem very suitable as an ontological bedrock.
This seems like a bad fix to the problem of insisting that ssh continue to only use TCP.

Wireguard only responds to a complete useful key from incoming UDP (as I understand). Probe resistant.

Except in this case, what is less profitable is investing in land/infrastructure that could serve as housing but leaving it vacant.
That is not investment in housing, simply speculation on land and buildings.

Investment in housing (ie actively rented places) are unaffected, so there is no reason there woukd be less investing on that front
Maybe I’m under thinking it, but this problem seems relatively simple to solve. Just make raising kids free. You get free childcare, and get paid a wage to raise your kids.
I've wondered this for awhile.

Theres a very recent comment from the CEO stating something similar... But historically it's seemed they've allowed their customers to take most of the margin.

They should have a lot of leverage being on the most advanced node, but doesn't seem they use it.

Likely a cultural thing, but if somebody has more insight would be curious
I had a bad experience with Conda:

- If they're so good at dependency management, why is Conda installed through a magical shell script?

- It's slow as molasses.

- Choosing between Anaconda/Miniconda...

When forced to use Python, I prefer Poetry, or just pip with freezing the dependencies.

The Python people probably can't even imagine how great dependency management is in all the other languages...
