I've managed fleets on cloud providers with over 100k instances, even with all the excellent features through APIs, managing instances can quickly get tricky.

Tbh, your comment is kind of insulting and belittles how far we've come ahead in infrastructure management.

The cloud is probably more secure than a set of janky servers that you have running in your basement. You can totally automate away 0-days, cves and get access to better security primitives.
Reminds me of the IBM Cloud slogan: "We have a cloud?!"

I think it was @quinnypig who coined it...
Sure, that's fair, but it wasn't clear which 20% of features you needed. (Not to be argumentative, but just that having details about what you need or don't need might be helpful when looking for alternatives).
I guess you word it better than I did.

As a user it feels very weird to wade into threads like this to find a solution to your problem.

The power of Otel is it being an open standard. But the practice shows the implementation of that standard / spec leads to all kinds of issues and fiefdoms
Why would you want to simulate threads instead of using something like actors instead?
I'm high enough functioning, but still get certain minor anxiety pangs around those who are more actively presenting. I feel a bit bad about it, especially when I know from personal experience that they're mostly normal and well-meaning enough.

I can't figure out how this is going to work. Who will be paying for Infowars? How will they recoup their investment without just doing the same thing which lead to the company's current predicament? Also a lot of the brand value is tied-in with Jones himself, who I cannot see staying on with the outfit post-sale.

Does anyone here have a good idea about what happens next?
What does it mean to _not_ censor a model? That is the rub: is it censoring the model to exclude adult content from the training data? Is reinforcement learning to make the model friendly censorship? These models are tools and as tools they are tuned to do particular things and to not do other ones. There is no objective way to characterize what a censored model is.
One train can move many people at once (especially for peak commute times when people would be driving single-occupancy cars just to get to an office). It suffer from similar problems, but it's much more efficient at the same task.

Show HN: Domain Public Data Collection Service Got Updated
Hello everyone! Some days ago I've published a post here about DPULSE which is domain OSINT tool. Аor those who haven't seen it I'll give Github link (https://github.com/OSINT-TECHNOLOGIES/dpulse). In general, this tool allows you to gather a lot of open-source information about domain such as WHOIS information, subdomains, mentions of the domain's owner organization in some social networks (+ organization profiles in social networks), IP addresses, public documents and many more using custom Google Dorking queries, InternetDB search results (possible vulnerabilities, open ports and so on), used web-technologies, sitemap, robots.txt files, SSL certificate info. And in v1.0.2 update I've added possibility to form results as XLSX file additionally to PDF file. Also I've added roadmap on GitHub page (projects tab), so everyone interested is able to see how development process is going on.

Will be glad to see everyone in my repository and, moreover, to hear your opinion and tips!
I spend most time working in the terminal. Low latency makes me more grounded in what I am doing, therefore easier to focus. And it just feels more satisfying.
Plus if you are able to debug it somehow, and discover the bug in your code, can you fix it right there in your debugger?

Or do you need to figure out what is the place in your original unprocessed source-code that corresponds to the code you see in the debugger, and then switch from the debugger to edit the original file and then rebuild and rerun everything and see if that fixes the problem?

I wonder if that is a solved problem in plain TypeScript either?
Just reading the docs, but it looks like it forces these errors into compile-time checks instead of runtime checks. It makes you a lot more confident that code that compiles with run correctly and without error.

Seems like it's mostly trying do similar things to what Haskell or StandardML does, but in Typescript.

Good old saying - if you work hard manually, rest by doing something mentally challenging, and vice versa. For most of us vice versa applies hard.

I don't know why you feel this is antagonistic. I'm telling you I saw your response, and I don't buy the argument.
There isn't necessarily an OAuth signing key. The OAuth tokens might not be signed. They might be random values, which act like a password, with a hash of them stored in a database so they can't even be stolen from the database.

Even if they are signed, it doesn't need to be as bad as Golden SAML, because OAuth tokens have a short expiration, so the signing key can have frequent automatic rotation, so any stolen signing key will quickly be useless. For the refresh tokens, they don't have fast expiration, so frequent rotation won't work, but you could have a hybrid system where the OAuth tokens use a frequently rotated signing key, but the refresh tokens are random values with hashes stored in a database.
Show HN: MinimalChat Is a Full-Featured and Self-Contained Chat Application
I've been building MinimalChat for a while now, and based on the feedback I've received, it's in a pretty decent place for general use. I figured I'd share it here for anyone who might be interested!

I previewed an earlier version a while ago, but this is major overhaul of the previous version that was shown.

# Quick Features Overview:

1. Mobile PWA Support: Install the site like a normal app on any device.
2. Any OpenAI formatted API support: Works with LM Studio, OpenRouter, etc.
3. Local Storage: All data is stored locally in the browser with minimal setup. Just enter a port and go in Docker.
4. Experimental Conversational Mode (GPT Models for now)
5. Basic File Upload and Storage Support: Files are stored locally in the browser.
6. Vision Support with Maintained Context
7. Regen/Edit Previous User Messages
8. Swap Models Anytime: Maintain conversational context while switching models.
9. Set/Save System Prompts: Set the system prompt. Prompts will also be saved to a list so they can be switched between easily.

The idea is to make it essentially foolproof to deploy or set up while being generally full-featured and aesthetically pleasing. No additional databases or servers are needed, everything is contained inside the web app itself.

It's another chat client in a sea of clients but it is unique in its own ways in my opinion. Enjoy! Feedback is always appreciated!

Docker instructions are in the readme.

That seems obviously true... yet, there are so many people out there that seem unable to learn it that I don't think it's a reliable prediction.
I'm not sure this is true. It seems that places just want specialists. Im struggling to keep my current job because im inconsistent (fast as some things and slow at others) but I have a diverse working experience and im a genralist. If I need to find a new job, I'm most likely going to looking at low skill/requirement positions like a trash collector.

Although I do not like those licences, I would not care so much about 2yrs until it goes FOSS. Before all this rush development RRDTool and OpenTSDB was so slow, this whole thing seems rather ideological than substantial criticism. Now going down the licence rabbit hole based to criticise the original argument seems like a classical strawman.
Find something you can bring a unique level of energy too, and bring it. One person’s generalist is another’s expert, thinking in those terms just isn’t that useful. The ability to take on hard problems and get something done and unwedge a team will always be useful.

Meet people in your org and others and make friends, develop some soft skills. I think these things really are career differentiator.

Idk I think just get passionate about things, learn about them, and be curious. Maybe you’ll find something you can specialize in, maybe you’ll find a unique constellation of skills and interests. Do some side projects here and there, it’s a way to take charge of your own skill development… yeah it’s sad that work can’t always provide this; but that’s how it goes…

Oh and to your best ability don’t let what everyone else is saying get you down, there is a lot of cynicism going around here , people are feeling pain… don’t let that pain become yours.
My point is nillable values by default is a strange choice and throws out 50 years of computing history. It has been clearly established that it leads to null pointer exceptions. The fact that a modern language lets you do it is a bit strange.
I think it's one of the few things that will stay relevant for a long time to come. We lost the skills of handcrafting compilers because of compiler generators. We will lose some skills to AI assistants. But the demand for the ability to coax output out of machines will be there in the foreseeable future.
Apple can also choose to dissolve or abandon product, rather than be forced to do something it doesn't want to do. (Like 1990's law forcing ICE car manufacturers to sell more EVs, so they destroyed the EV car.)
> This is my main gripe too. I don't understand why {traces, logs, metrics} are not just different abstractions built on top of "events" (blobs of data your application ships off to some set of central locations).

By design, they cannot be abstractions of the single concept. For example, logs have a hard requirement on preserving sequential order and session and emitting strings, whereas metrics are aggregated and sampled and dropped arbitrarily and consist of single discrete values. Logs can store open-ended data, and thus need to comply with tighter data protection regulations. Traces often track a very specific set of generic events, whereas there are whole classes of metrics that serve entirely different purposes.

Just because you can squint hard enough to only see events being emitted, that does not mean all event types can or should be treated the same.

Breathing is clearly on the table for discussion
It helped that those streams of his were nothing what a normal person from the outside would expect from him. So the audience for his financial analysis streams self-selected kinda nicely.

TLDR on those streams: it was Shkreli just opening excel spreadsheets and going super deep on analysis of corporate financials, in the most plain unemotional way possible. He even did fun exercises to show his viewers how he works things: the audience would vote for a random public company ticker that Shkreli never analyzed betore, and he would just spend the next few hours populating his excel spreadsheet from scratch and trying to make some conclusions. With the preference for picking companies that he actually knows absolutely nothing about in terms of their finances. Literally just gathering all relevant publicly available information and analyzing it, with lots of hard numbers and excel magic involved. No joking, no non-sequiters, no guests, just lazer-focused on financial analysis. Not going to lie, it blew my mind when i was first trying to follow along at the time.

If you aren’t into that type of a thing, i imagine it would be extremely boring to watch, as it was nothing like his “more known” livestreams focused on trolling and ragebaiting. It was just cold “thinking outloud and populating spreadsheets” type of content. The viewership numbers reflected that too, with the financial analysis streams having magnitudes less views (with most people not even knowing they existed, despite being posted on the same channel as his more popular and controversial streams).
One example of using dark fiber:

I help run an HPC environment that is spread across two data centers, one on-campus and one off-campus. The campus network is already spread across those two data centers, but the HPC environment also includes a couple of VLANs that are completely private.

So, our connection to the campus network is two 100 GbE campus-network ports in one data center, and I have two dark-fiber circuits (two fiber strands per circuit) from one data center to the other, which carry the private VLANs. One circuit is direct; the other goes via a third building.

The flexibility of the dark-fiber service means I can use the same 100GBASE-LR4 transceivers that I use for the connection to the campus network. I don't have to deal with weird transceivers (like single-strand single-lambda Bi-Directional 100 GbE), or custom wavelengths. UIT Facilities gives me a fusion-spliced and tested pair with an LC jack, and it Just Works™.
I dislike how you frame it as a personal failure to do what is necessary. It is a societal failure. People may have strong self-control, and want to have completely more primitive lifestyle which would likely improve their mental state, but escaping the industrial society can be simply out of reach for many people. For example if you're poor and born in a city-state you may never even have the capacity to experience camping.
I agree with most of the criticisms here, and will add on one more: while it is generally true that you can’t beat “serverless” inference pricing for LLMs, production deployments often depend on fine-tuned models, for which these providers typically charge much more to host. That’s where the cost (and security, etc.) advantage for running on dedicated hardware comes in.
whatever you choose, ai systems will be better at it than you in 5-10 years. so plan for that, or at the very least hedge against it (i'm investing in tech).

but until then: full stack ML for business intelligence.

They prompted it with "Button mushroom" as well. Asking "What mushroom is this?" elicits a much different response, but not one that would get clicks.
> I wonder how long NVIDIA can justify its current market cap once people realize just how cheap it is to run inference on these models given that LLM performance is plateauing

next wave driving demand can be actual new products developed on LLMs. There are very few usecases currently well developed besides chatbots, but potential is very large.
The first suggestion, ask the AI to ask you continual questions to help you clarify your thinking, is a great technique. I have seen this type of conversation partner very beneficial in my own writing and planning.

A fair criticism. To Effect's credit, though, their OpenTelemetry integration reports usable spans (i.e. stack trace matching the mental model, not the trampolined event loop) and associates the logs with them appropriately.
I feel like this comment will receive some visceral reactions, but I wonder whether similar technology or even LLMs could be used in emergency dispatch in the future. There could be benefits in terms of accuracy, speed, information verification, etc. Not to mention it would spare some 911 operators of PTSD.
This is confusing and vague to me, which I believe is exactly the intent. It focuses on security, reiterates that security is their top priority (and we know that this is untrue). What were the security problems? They don't even allude to the existence or detection of any specific security problems.

It sounds to me like they're figuring out a new marketing approach, or they're softening the blow by "listening to users" and then rolling out more slowly, when outrage has died down and people will just accept it.

I have personally experienced this. I went to a concert in NY while living in the midwest. I was a pretty broke grad-student at the time and hence opted not to get a hotel for the night before the return flight. The concert ended late and we reached the airport by around 3:30 AM for a 7AM flight. I think I took some naps at the gate before the flight and got very little sleep on the flights.

I barely remember anything from that night. The concert itself is mostly blank except for one or two moments. I remember some moments of driving late at night afterwards (getting lost at one point) and having a very late night dinner at an IHOP. I barely remember getting on my connecting flight.

Overall a very surreal experience.

Now I make it a point to get proper sleep on such trips. What is the point of doing these things anyway if we don't get to keep the memories?

> help but feel like recent high temperatures are getting vastly oversimplified

I could see this if it was just a regular person that you know weighing in on climate change and temperatures, but there seems to be a pretty overwhelming global concensus of experts for maybe 50 years saying this. I'm sure timelines are wrong, studies are sometimes wrong, but I'm going to put my faith in the experts that recent high temperatures are the result of humans.

I'm also going to place a bet that this is only going to rise and get worse as we're offloading our own internal energy and capabilities to things like robots and AI, everything using extra energy to connect to the internet, non-replacable batteries, locked devices, fast fashion, and junk stores like Temu and Amazon.

I can buy a speaker from 1970 and it works. I won't be able to buy a speaker from 2020 and have it work 50 years from now. New tech has much better qualities than old tech but the tradeoff is comsumption increases as nothing is repairable.
