Their phrasing makes it sound like they would pay more for open source.

So would I. I've used several of the standard ones for 20 years, and the closed nature universally makes it suck.

They always require some ancient java install or a license of one form or another, I have one that needs IE 6 with ActiveX! (AMI MegaRAK, standalone unit not built into a motherboard) And of course that thing only has ancient ssl and ssh and neither can be updated. Sure it's old, but there's nothing about it's job that changed or got harder requiring new hardware. I don't use it any more only because of things that are the result of it's closed nature. I actually really like the hardware. If I could replace the firmware I would still use it. Nothing about the job it does has changed, and so it doesn't matter how old the hardware is.

When I discovered PiKVM a few years ago before he was selling a product yet, I built one and it replaced a $600 Lantronix immediately.

This was a personal one not one work paid for, I already owned a spiderlinx, actually 2, one for vga & ps2, and one for dvi & usb, I already own these and I had paid the 500-600 retail for them, and a PiKVM built myself from a pi and a capture board from aliexpress and hacked into a generic aluminum box style pi case that I cut and drilled, is better. It's worth more in that it provides more functionality and flexibility.

Then I donated $500 to him, because that was still less than the cost of an equivalent, and now I get to have as many as I want for just the cost of the hardware, which I am free to scrounge up out of anything if I have to, and I'd wanted something like that for years and here it finally was. It was a real pain point for years and I was grateful and want to reward the things I want to exist.

And now that he sells a product with custom pcb, the entire kit including the pi is still about 1/2 of a spiderlinx.

You're right that it's normal that none of them disclose their firmware, or let you replace it, and it absolutely sucks all day every day every minute you have to use any of those normal ones.

For work before cloud times when we had all colo, what actually worked the best was serial consoles. You set up a little serial port server which you can ssh in to (and keep updated with current ssh) and it provides a serial connection to each machine in the rack. No java, no atvivex, no special browser, no licence manager, no software or platform requirements at all. Anything that can ssh can do a bare metal reinstall. And it works fine over a crappy cell connection.

But if you're forced to deal with a Windows box, or something else with only a screen & keyboard like a security camera console or a mac or something, or just any random non-server pc without serial console support in it's bios, if you do need a kvm, pikvm or equivalent is the only way to go.
We do however have to allow for person A intentionally hiding from person B what they are doing. Person A should check, but it is impossible to see everything so we do have to allow for person B committing fraud to hide from audits.
I think it's true from a distance. All electronic devices emit RF, though proper shielding can dramatically reduce it.
What about a crime that was in their job description to have knowledge of? Would a doctor not be liable if he didn't properly diagnose a patient? There is an assumption of minimal professional competency when you assume the responsibility of that role.

Big Telecom Eyes More Broadband Usage Caps (and a Tax on Big Tech)
The full title is

> Big Telecom Eyes More Broadband Usage Caps (And A Tax On Big Tech) As Revenues Sag
Does this work without a functioning network? I just spent the weekend debugging an issue on my router, which involved unplugging my router and setting it up in my room for the monitor, and then running a lengthy ethernet cable to the modem.

I'd much rather be able to attach something like this, have it spin up its own wifi or ethernet network (that understandably wouldn't have internet access) and then connect from my laptop. The other solution I was considering is a portable monitor (one of those hand-held tablet-sized ones) which absolutely would work without a network but the NanoKVM seems less wasteful in terms of future e-waste generated.
It doesn't matter if they are sentient or not, does it? Maybe in the future they will be or act as if they were, but the result will be the same.
At the risk of threadjacking, I'd still love to have a real conversation about how and why this Wayland thing happened (and is still arguably happening) so badly.

Specifically, how -- again, in LINUX-LAND -- a whole bunch of people decided, "nah, we're going to go ahead and break the HELL OUT OF backwards compatibility this time, even though we pretty much never do this."
Thanks, he's been working really hard at it since 3 years old! We're at Mt Hood this week so tuning is still a thing even today lol.

U16 is quite a step up, the courses get quite challenging at that level.

The log goes stderr and the output goes stdout. I think it might be convenient for those who use the pipeline.
I think this is the best case against a more abstract notion of source code. I don't think you'll ever achieve the dream of heterogeneous representations on a single team unless you somehow get an autoformatter like black to work with both.
I don't understand where your comment is coming from. My comment was in response to "Congress abdicating their power" here...

> The power grab that was done was with Congress abdicating their power into unelected bureaucracies to create and enforce rules with the force of law. What the supreme Court is saying is that Congress cannot abdicate their power into an unelected bureaucracy.

If you're talking about Congress giving power it doesn't actually have to an organization, then that's a totally different thing. It is not what I was talking about.
I can’t believe I’m reading comments from people who think leadership comes without responsibility I can only assume it’s someone being defensive
So you want to argue that it was not criminal fraud but blatant incompetence? Interesting angle of defense, but I wouldn't give it a high chance of success.
Even funnier, I have a bunch of rando computers and servers, some with friends and family with different distros...and at any given time, I'm not sure which I'm using.

(Which I suppose means that Wayland has matured a lot..finally, but still)
I've had exactly the same experience today, having been asked to complete a captcha (of a type I haven't seen before—rotating a 3D object) after every prompt. I'm logged in and a paying subscriber of more than a year. I assume it is a bug.
Ehhh, most dbs are managed by migrations in the application, so essentially is duplicated logic
> It obviously can't be true since end of the world in any reasonable understanding contains end of the internet.

No, it obviously can be true. I can imagine many ways "the end of the world" could occur. Also, maybe it's not crystal clear what "the end of the world" means to you, but for me, and likely other people, it means the collapse of human civilization, which could happen from nuclear war, climate change, etc.

Just because "the end of the world" would include "the death of the internet" doesn't imply that by imagining the end of the world you're also imagining the ways in which every aspect of the world get destroyed. When I imagine the end of the world I don't focus on what happens to say, Paris, specifically, but I do know, implicitly, that the end of the world would include the end of Paris.
This is really awesome!

I did have a question about this:

> Javascript does support an Atomics API but it uses promises which are gross. Eww sick.

With the exception of waitAsync[1], the Atomics APIs don't appear to use promises. I've used Atomics before and never needed to mess with any async/promise code. Is it using promises behind the scenes or is there something else I'm missing?

The network has specific circuits that correspond to concepts and you can see that the network uses and combines those concepts to work through problems. That is reasoning.
You do realize that a large part of the web routes through buttflare even if no buttflare domains are involved, right? Whether one of those requests retrurns the buttflare captcha instead of the requested resource is controlled by buttflare and can vary from user to user.
Niroflex – pre shaped chainmail stab protection
I’ve only had a couple of times where it would have been nice to have some kind of out of band management for my homelab. So the value of this kind of hardware was pretty low to me personally. Which is why I couldn’t justify pikvm/tinypilot $300+. But for ~$50 with shipping, I couldn’t hit order on this fast enough!
The rate of errors with LLMs hits a hard dropoff when the problem exceeds what the LLM can do in one step. This is the same for humans, if we were asked to compute multiplication without thinking about it for longer than a few milliseconds.

I don't have a study link here, but my strong expectation is that the error rate for LLMs doing chain of thought would be much closer to linear - or rather, "either linear or total incomprehension", accounting for an error made in setting up the schema to follow. Which can happen just as well for humans.

> "Not dissimilar", but nevertheless a mere approximation. It doesn't apply strict logic to the problem, but guesses what steps should be followed.

I have never in my life applied strict logic to any problem lol. Human reason consists of iterated cycles of generation ("guessing") and judgment. Both can be implemented by LLMs, albeit currently at subhuman skill.

> This looks like reason, but is not reason.

At the limit of "looking like", I do not believe such a thing can exist. Reason is a computational process. Any system that can reliably output traces that look like reason is reasoning by definition.

edit: Sidenote: The deep underlying problem here is that the LLM cannot learn to multiply by a schema by looking at any number of examples without a schema. These paths simply won't get any reinforcement. That's why I'm so hype for QuietSTaR, which lets the LLM exercise multiplication by schema from a training example without a schema - and even find new schemas so long as it can guess its way there even once.

Agreed, and for me, the main thesis of the article was that we should create things that we want to create, without concerning ourselves about how much engagement, reach, impact etc. they will have.

How to let the world be populated by people who can make free decisions about their work and their employer. Nothing to do with negative externalities, unless you think feudalism was particularly green.
You need to actually prove the board and directors contributed to the criminal act to go after them or created the environment that enabled the lower level employees to act. Which I think they would attest to.

Unfortunately, You can't just blanket make CEOw responsible for every action of their employees. That would be insane.

Think of it like charging the top brass in the mafia, RICOs are hard to prove because getting the guy at the top is difficult.
DNS is not resolving for me. Is this an HN hug of death? Anyone have a link to GitHub or similar?
Many browsers don't even show the URL anymore, so websites remain a powerful part of the Internet but domain names? Not so much, anymore.
The modules on display don't seem to be a strong showing. A wallet case? Kickstand? Lanyard? These are things you can add to any phone with a $10 Amazon purchase. Compare this to the LG G5, which had a module that added a camera grip with hardware controls and one that had a hi-fi DAC and enhanced speakers and neither of them required a screwdriver. The G5 failed.

It feels like just the choice to make a modular phone completely exhausts a company's creativity. None of them ever make bold choices with their modules. Make a module with a slide-down hardware keyboard. Make a module with Flitchio-style gaming controls on the back. Make one with big dual front-facing speakers. Either take risks or don't.
Planners vs. Searchers in Foreign Aid [pdf]
I believe how they try RICO cases would be a useful precedent.
Does the difference ever come up in a meaningful way? Is there a syntax that without the trailing semicolon is ambiguous between the two, and the difference changes the behavior?
There must be some standard calculation going into that number. US law forbids proportional fines (i.e., scaling with income).
Of course it matters. What does it meant to punish something that isn't sentient? It's like bemoaning the fact that you can't punish the car that was driven into someone.
Top lawyers aren't "workers", while they may do some amount of work they are also the owners of their own business (partners) and employ others.
Mental separation, I think. It's nice to take a break from the code editor and have a focused app for quick analysis, like a calculator.

GMS vs. Non-GMS for Android Devices
I use such tools when I can, and am fascinated with the concept, since it evokes Herman Hesse's _Glass Bead Game_ (from his novel _Magister Ludi) which was a book I remember fondly from my youth.

Advantages are:

- discoverability --- it seems pretty easy to arrange all elements in a hierarchy and make them accessible via clicking/revealing

- no syntax errors --- if things fit together/connect, then it should be a syntactically valid program

The problem is, it relies on a couple of concepts we don't seem to have a good solution for:

- What does an algorithm look like?

- How to deal with an algorithm which is larger than the current screen/window size? (it's all-too easy to have the same sort of problem of a not-wrapped program with lines longer than the current window size and more lines than will fit in a window, and there doesn't seem to be a 2D graphical equivalent of turning on word-wrapping)

- If programs are broken down into discrete modules, then connected together, one is back to the wall-of-text description which presumably one was trying to escape from, just wrapped up in boxes and connectors

> The confederate statues are also unambiguously white nationalist monuments.

Most southern people do not know that. They do not think confederate symbolism is any different from say the British or French flag (which may have been associated with negative periods of history, but has meaning apart from that). https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/02/politics/confederate-flag-pol.... Whatever the original intention, confederate imagery transformed into a generic cultural marker. More “fuck New York” than anything else. When I was growing up in the 1990s in northern Virginia, even in liberal circles the notion that confederate flags were “heritage, not hate” was a mainstream position.

Unlike Nazi imagery, confederate imagery was not condemned immediately, and had more than a century to develop alternate connotations. Have you seen Dukes of Hazzard? It’s a liberal show about fighting small town corruption with vaguely environmentalist sentiments. They made a movie of it in 2004 with Jessica Simpson and nobody complained about the confederate flag. That’s what a large swath of the country grew up with.

Most people around the world will not condemn their ancestors, and will put up with a great deal of cognitive dissonance in order to avoid doing so. Japan has never formally apologized for its atrocities in WWII: https://foreignpolicy.com/2015/08/14/shinzo-abe-regrets-but-.... Does that mean you can infer that present day Japanese embrace and support the motivations of their ancestors that raped and murdered women in Nanjing? No, that would be fundamentally dishonest.

The deep irony of your comment is that Trump was the grownup in the room. He was addressing an important point that you cannot treat everyone that opposes taking down confederate monuments as white supremacists. That’s what the reporter was incorrectly trying to do, and he correctly pushed back on that.
Sure. But then B should prove that A did so. And even then, if B had threatened A, even implicitly, B can still be considered responsible for the fact that A didn't inform.
You also have the issue that if you want the whole hog (or cow) you get a decent price; but if you ONLY want a specific cut, you don't care about the rest, so you pay more. Any attempt to fix that issue results in a larger operation and you're close to the big packers again.
If DockYard.com had a security incident for a free/beta service, I'm sure you'd want users to show some compassion.

(It doesn't make it right, all I'm saying is - showing compassion goes a long way with developers while they re-evaluate)

Nice clarification about the polishing once you have it setup. This is fairly quick to do too.
This has been happening for a long time. I once wrote a bypass for scraping: https://github.com/acheong08/funcaptcha

I do apologize for possibly playing a part in causing OpenAI to put up such annoying captchas even after using Cloudflare due to large scale automation of account creation & usage before an API was released…
If you're going to suggest something you think an LLM can't do I think at the very least as a show of good faith you should try it out. I've lost count of the number of times people have told me LLMs can't do shit that they very evidently can.
We either learn the fixed rules in school, at which point we simply have a very strong prior, or we have to invent them somehow. This usually takes the form of "aesthetically/intuitively guided trial and error argument generation", which is not entirely wrongly summarized as "guessing".
Always an odd argument? Sometimes software is just finished.

JPMorgan Warns Customers: Prepare to Pay for Checking Accounts
Late reply, so I doubt anyone will read this, but just in case: No, I would not say Ukraine should give up. (You seem to be doing too much "expecting" and not enough actual listening.)

> Except, I'm pretty sure this reasoning would prevent people like Ghandi or MLK from ever existing, and that's actively harmful.

That is actually a good point. Such people live in such environments, and choose to go against the environment, knowingly paying the price, in order to try to bring about social change. Such people are outside my comments - they know what they're doing, they know what's going to happen, and they do it anyway for good reason. They have my admiration, not my "you should have known better".

There's one more hole in what I said that you haven't mentioned - inconsistent rules. You can know you're in that kind of environment, say something, and get nailed anyway, because the mob or some prosecutor decides that what you said crosses the line, even though they didn't say that for the last N people who did similar things. In that situation, we're just back at "Pakistan is morally wrong" with nothing the person could do to avoid it.
