Does anyone here have any experience with having an entire org of (hundreds of) devs use these lower level features rather than Docker et al? In a k8s-centric organization, is this feasible at all?
There are good JIRA installations, and bad ones. Good ones are speedy and responsive, even if you have a large amount of data you’re working with, and there are lots of tickets in the system.

I was on the team that managed one of the JIRA installations at Whole Foods, before the company got bought by Amazon. I remember what a good JIRA installation looks like.
I'm not familiar with many systems or backend software that are still actively used, multiple decades old, and not still receiving updates. If it's not even a decade old, it's not old enough to say requirements won't change.
There is no ratio gossip in torrents. I'm aware of "private trackers" which track per-user ratio, and of clients that will prioritize sending to peers they've received the most data from, and of "super seeding mode" where the client attempts to track whether each peer is spreading around the data it gets, and won't send data to peers that don't - the latter requires the super seeder to be the only seeder. There are no other mechanisms.

I conceptually equate female ports with host mode devices, but that’s always an assumption that holds true. USB is kind of a mess and I’m glad it all works as well as it does, to be honest, but it’s not without its quirks and rough edges.

I think they probably meant from the perspective of society writ large. If you you are choosing between spending $10m on PV with the primary goal of decarbonization, are you better served by spending it on subsidizing rooftop PV or on utility scale PV? Probably the latter.

> “In a base comparison, without considering subsidies, fuel prices, or carbon pricing, utility-scale solar and wind have the lowest LCOE of all sources. Utility-scale solar PV comes in anywhere from $24/MWh to $96/MWh, while onshore wind registers the lowest possible LCOE over the shortest range, from $24/MWh to $75/MWh. Offshore wind’s LCOE ranges between $72/MWh and $140/MWh. … Unsubsidized residential rooftop PV has an LCOE between $117/MWh and $282/MWh, while the LCOE of community and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar ranges between $49/MWh and $185/MWh. When factoring in federal tax subsidies under the US Inflation Reduction Act, including domestic contest provisions, rooftop PV comes in at $74/MWh to $229/MWh, and community/C&I rooftop PV at $32/MWh to $155/MWh.” [1]

You can poison all your images with Glaze and Nightshade. Then you don't have to stop them from using them - they have to stop themselves from using them or their image generator will be useless. I don't know if there's a comparable system for text. If there was, it would probably be noticeable to humans.
I totally missed the original HN post because it was flagged, seemingly in a knee-jerk manner based on the title.

The title is of course superficially provocative, but it's also a reference to the construct of "bullshit" described in philosopher Harry Frankfurt's On Bullshit [1]. Roughly, the term in this context refers to speech that is distinct from lies specifically because the speaker has no interest in its truth value, only whether it will satisfy the audience in the moment (or the immediate requirements more generally). Misleading the audience not only isn't the point; it's of no consideration at all to the speaker. In that way, the concept is arguably a cousin of "performative utterance", in which speaking ipso facto renders the proclamation true (a la "I now pronounce you husband and wife"), as well as an alternative (and very human!) lens through which to view the phenomenon of "hallucination".

This whole part sounds like BS mumbo jumbo. AI isn’t developing any system anytime soon and people surely aren’t going to design systems that cater to the current versions of LLMs.
The greatest hour of the Social democrats was when they kicked out the Bolsheviks from the party in 1917 as reaction to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. This made Social democrats a reform party that accepted the already existing parliamentary system and the monarchy ("den borgerliga demokratin"). And by doing so the Social democrats paved the road to becoming one of the most successful political parties in the West.

By marginalizing the Bolsheviks it is likely that this saved Sweden from a bloody civil war, a civil war that our dear neighbors in Finland suffered from. Our modern history could have been very different, Swedes fighting other Swedes in bloody battles, an open wound that could have been present to this day. For saving Sweden and Swedes from this horror, I’m ever grateful.

That is why I rank Hjalmar Branting as the greatest leader of Social democrats, greater than both Hansson and Erlander.

I am of course fully aware about these affairs you mention, what I’m arguing is that Bolsheviks was accepted back into the movement in 70s.

There were many signs of this, not only in the policies that was enacted but also things like the open flirtation with communist dictatorships and letting well known communists back into the movement.
People often do this calculation without considering the time value of money. If you took that same $8K you spent on your system and put it in a bank CD; you would earn about $420 each year in interest. That means your real savings for the solar system is only $580 a year, not $1000. That makes the payoff time expand from 8 years to nearly 14. Still might be worth it to you, but also might not.
There are lots of boxes in our house that do 16 amps at 120V. Some do 240V, and some do higher than that, and some of those are next to sinks or in high-humidity environments. The voltages and currents for solar panels (especially if you use 240V microinverters) don't seem like a non-starter to me.
I wholeheartedly agree on the quality of BNR books, but I’ve always found Pakt to be pretty poor. I consider Pakt books to be overpriced even when 90% off in some big bundle. If you’re getting value out of them, great, I don’t want to diminish that, but for anyone considering them, there are far better options.

I say this having been a technical reviewer on a Pakt book. It was filled with errors, surface level, poorly written and edited, and my main feedback was ignored because it would have added 10 pages, even though it would also have significantly improved the learning outcomes of the book for the specific topic it was about.
To this point, and especially for certain classes of bikes (fat tire ebikes, for example),

not selling it full-fendered is just an insult to your customer.
This is currently the case. My takeaway is that Altman and Co want take OpenAI (the profit company) away from the nonprofit entity.

According to the article:

> the company is considering changing its governance structure to a for-profit business that the firm's nonprofit board doesn't control
Enphase systems work as you describe. Each panel has its own AC inverter, and they from a mesh network and run sanity checks for shorts, etc. before exporting power.

>Why not just display the alerts for your area?

Because "Flood warning on roads" is very different than "hey there is a possible tornado/aftershocks/*" and I'd like the 2nd one to take up the entire home-assistant dashboard.

I can either code it myself, or let the model figure it out after passing it the YAML file for the dashboard.

>Why is a complex system of smaller models reporting up to a slightly larger model necessary?

because as the other poster said, cost and speed. thousands of queries every day (potentially) at 30 cents per million tokens is very different than 15 dollars per million tokens.
i feel like this is being blown way out of proportion. learning git is never the bottleneck to becoming a software engineer, and it doesn't take longer than an hour to grasp the basics.

CS majors should learn it just by messing around with projects, but I don't see why an otherwise great candidate couldn't learn it very quickly

Comments like this are why HN comments have a bad rep. I'm so sad this comment is at the top.

You could have criticized the language itself. Instead you completely dismiss the language because you didn't like an analogy the creator made. You don't even bother to link the video where the author made the supposedly bad analogy!

I would encourage readers to consider the language for what it actually is. Please don't dismiss anything because a random internet commenter claims the person made a bad analogy.

It's beyond absurd to call someone "truly clueless" when that person has in fact created a programming language that is moderately successful and in production use. That's a far bigger accomplishment that virtually everyone here, myself included, can claim! https://jangafx.com/software/embergen/

Funny enough, their prompts leaked: https://www.reddit.com/r/perplexity_ai/s/kn6i20kMLH

And I’ve built a perplexity clone in about a day - it’s not that hard: search -> scrape results -> parse results —> summarize results -> summarize aggregate results into single summary.

I’m really not sure I even see their moat.
Android restricts RCS to Google’s proprietary Messages app. That supports encryption with what appears to be a reasonably open protocol BUT they restrict it to their key servers:

https://www.gstatic.com/messages/papers/messages_e2ee.pdf

Apple could implement their own but unless Google is willing to open up their proprietary messaging system, nobody on Android would be able to use it. Oddly, they left they out of their deceptive PR campaign which tried hard to portray E2EE as an RCS feature.
In the past, I've used it as a file format for an online application. Users often wanted to download bits and bobs of data from the app, not to view it or edit it on their desktop, but more as backups or to share a particular configuration
Previously we'd used a json+zip pair, but the lack of enforced schema became a problem. Switching over to a gzipped sqlite db with a "custom" file extension worked incredibly well

This is bad advice. Ollama may be “just a wrapper”, but it’s a wrapper that makes running local LLMs accessible to normal people outside the typical HN crowd that don’t have the first clue what a Makefile is or what cuBlas compiler settings they need.
So ship an implementation with the browser.

did you do your roof at the same time? theres a big cost of taking the solar off and putting it back on when doing roof work which can kill cost efficiency if not lined up with the lifecycle of your roof.
Who cares? What's amazing is it's short-term effects on brains!
Good. The world can’t afford to be run by gerontocracy…
This is so weird, because you could also just not elect them.
Over a decade ago, a ton of tech companies (including Google) coordinated a “blackout the Internet” day of protest against U.S. legislation that would have required them to alter DNS to fight piracy. Interesting that now that France actually does it, they say they will comply.

I remember irssi. I haven’t used irc in many, many years, though.
81 is still too high. Should make it a max of 60.
Do you also find the two term limit for presidents weird then?
To follow onto this:

If what Perplexity is doing is illegal, is it illegal to run an open-source LLM on your own machine, and have it do the same thing? If so, how are ad blockers or Reader Modes or screen readers legal?

And if it's legal to run an open-source LLM on your own machine, is it legal to run an open-source LLM on a rented server (e.g. because you need more GPUs)? And if that's legal, why is it illegal to run a closed-source LLM on servers? Could Perplexity simply release the model weights and keep doing what they're doing?
It is, a little.
Total non-sense - just pushes people to use VPN or their own custom DNS which tunnels back to 1.1.1.1 or whatever.
The title on the website is “Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention”.

Curious why Cloudflare has been singled out in the submission title?
Once that is said, does OSS move forward? Not an inch, good luck getting any change upstream
My favorite quote was in the preface “how to learn” of one of their Obj-C/Cocoa books.

TLDR: You are not stupid. This stuff is hard.

—-
While learning something new, many students will think, "Damn, this is hard for me. I wonder it am stupid." Because stupidity is such an unthinkably terrible thing in our culture, the students will then spend hours constructing arguments that explain why they are intelligent yet are having difficulties. The moment you start down this path, you have lost your focus.

Aaron used to have a boss named Rock. Rock had earned a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech and had never had a job that used his knowledge of the heavens.

He was once asked if he regretted getting the degree. "Actually, my degree in astrophysics has proved to be very valuable," he said. "Some things in this world are just hard. When I am struggling with something, I sometimes think Damn, this is hard for me. I wonder if I am stupid,' and then I remember that I have a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech; I must not be stupid."

Before going any further, assure yourself that you are not stupid and that some things are just hard. Armed with this silly affirmation and a well-rested mind, you are ready to conquer Cocoa.
Not a completely fair comparison IMO because the first term is an advantage when running for the second.
People can't really be trusted to make good decisions, so the current idea of democracy seems to be to at least remove some bad decisions.

This is the nuance that people aren't able to understand anymore - something happened when the Internet came out, and we've never been the same.

The OP was just surprised that people don't know git, and indicated that he wouldn't hire a junior engineer who didn't know git, but, there's very likely nuance to this, and I don't think that one person's personal preference necessarily needs to be discussed and debated extensively on Twitter, HackerNews, etc.

In my opinion, git is a very popular tool, and lots, and lots of people use it - and it only takes 15-30 minutes to learn the basics - for this reason, I think that it is fair to be surprised that someone doesn't know it.
Like I said, taxes are essentially an abstraction over mandatory service. Currently, 3 months out of each year, my work belongs to the government. They also don't care whether I have the "profit" to pay them; if I can't pay my living expenses after paying my taxes, that's my problem to figure out. The taxes are due regardless. That aside, I don't know why you'd characterize it as "unsustainable". There are countries with mandatory military service today and they're doing fine. Slavery is perfectly sustainable; it existed across the globe for thousands of years. There are reasons it's not great, but sustainability isn't one.
i find it ironic one of the most gatekeepy, closed, walled garden companies in the history of the planet, Bloomberg, is a sponsor of one of the most free most open piece of software ever.

I've had to deal with electrical installations from people who "knew what they were doing so didn't need a license or permit."

And "sneaking around local restrictions" can create quite the fun surprise for unsuspecting workers who need to open up walls, dig trenches, etc.

I hope you decide to play by the rules.
In terms of installations, sure.

In terms of total data, probably not.

In terms of important data, 100% not. Important data needs guarantees, and its privacy is second to its longevity.

Server side and centralized beats client side decentralized for all but sensitive consumer data.
Zeroing on allocation is much more sensible though because that way you preload the memory into your caches as opposed to on deallocation where you bring memory into cache that you know you no longer care about. Also if you do the zero on allocation, the compiler can delete it if it can prove that you write to the memory before reading to it.
Appreciate your offering possible solutions in a context of lack of agency many of us feel.

What are some possible venues for proposing such legislation locally - and what are some examples of success?
We have age minimums for just about everything it doesn't seem crazy to have age maximum for things for mainly the same reasons.

Isn't the minimum age for presidential candidates 35? That actually seems weirder to me than an age maximum of 80.
If it is what public DNS providers do, then they should get a bad reputation and then people should not use them. People can make their own, and/or to just use IP addresses directly (or other methods) if they know what they are from other sources. You can also use the hosts file.
Fun fact, the developer behind this game also made another technical marvel of a game called Noita. A game best described by the fact most players don't realise they've only played the tutorial.
Piracy is simply Terrible, it's chopping the dear copyright holders off at the knees, they are frequently having to go on food stamps, and it's unclear how they'll continue on.

/s

Fighting online piracy: First world, or even zeroth world problem.

It's not loke the pirates are saying "hmm, should I pay exorbitant rates for this or should I pirate it?"

The real competition is alternatives: "should I bother pirating this or just go do some other activity."

Bottom line: In most cases it's actually free marketing, and has a net positive effect for the copyright holders. The continual attempts to aggressively clamp down really says a lot about the mentality of the Big Market Forces, *iaa, *aa, and now MS and Elgoog. Even when it's good fertilizer for their perpetual evergreen money tree, they still flip out.
It has nothing to do with safety. It's pure protectionism. The point is to keep small gas stations competitive by imposing labor costs on larger gas stations.
Bloomberg sells pacakaged public information, they rely on commonwealth and transparent regulation disclosures, they are agents of such transparency.

They gatekeep their product sure, but you need to do that if you want to sell it.

It's still OSS, you're allowed to fork and maintain Sqlite if you don't like the upstream merge requirements.

Who is reinventing PyPi? Ollama isn't even written in Python.

I think that's part of the point, PyPi and Python and Conda is an absolute shitshow of an ecosystem right now. 3 packages depend on 3 different versions of Pytorch. System installs CUDA 12.3 with the NVIDIA driver but but Xformers wants CUDA 12.1, and the NVIDIA driver that would provide 12.1 doesn't compile on Ubuntu 24.04. Pytorch provides its own CUDA that's different from the system version, and that makes another package unhappy. One package installs opencv, another package overwrites it with opencv-headless, pip install apex doesn't work with gcc-12, ...
all, if not nearly all, of the old people that this is aimed at would be career politicians for which many of the same rules apply.

About 2 trillion trees per year, just to break even on current rates of CO2 emissions. More to reduce it further.

SQLite solves a lot of problems well enough that you can focus on other things.

I'm not sure I buy the "important data" one: my Lightroom catalog, to me, constitutes incredibly important data. Losing it and just having the base files would destroy over a decade of work.

It also happens to be a SQLlite3 database. And the same is true for a slew of other applications that (quite rightly) use SQLite databases as their file format.

You might be thinking of things like financial transactions, or medical records, but that's not the only kind of important data there is.
The issue is not electing people... it's re-election advantage. Incumbent candidates rarely lose, especially in Congress... and power is addicting. This leads to the current situation where U.S. Congress median age is pretty far on the cognitive decline curve - https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-get... . I think there were multiple issues that took down USSR, but aging leadership with inflexible thinking that was not capable of keeping up with times was probably complicit in most of them.
