Garage splis the data into chunks for deduplication, so it basically already does content addressed storage under the hood..

They probably don't expose it publicly though.
> There's a lesson here in the ability to form consistent, empirical, wrong theories given even slightly wrong inputs.

Is this really a lesson? Every single theory evolved this way, starting with an almost certainly naive hypothesis, then with incomplete evidence leading to bad conclusions, then as better data came in, adjustments to the theory until we had something that fit the evidence to a high degree (though it's almost always possible further adjustments are necessary even when it looks like we've found the perfect theory: e.g. Newton physics VS relativity).

I think you would be hard pressed to find any theory that did NOT evolve in this exact manner.

Suno AI is known for its ease of use and powerful capabilities, making it accessible to both beginners and professional musicians. It can generate high-quality music suitable for various applications, such as films, games, and advertisements, by simply inputting text prompts that specify the desired music style and atmosphere
Sorry for interview experience. It is definitely a buyer's market in US tech right now, so companies can wait as long as necessary to find their unicorn to write CRUD apps for less than 100K USD!

The real question: If the tables were turned, could the interviewers pass their own tests? Probably not.
I assume it still sounds crazy to me that people pay for porn these days...
The screen is amazing. Backlight would be nice but the screen itself is great.
I'm not sitting through 40 mins of meandering crap ("Google has an algorithm and a thing called SEO") but my guess is they like the site and are sad about it not being included in search results.

Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place!

Google's a private company and can't be compelled to bake a gay cake or display a certain search result.

Who will you appeal to? The government? That would be overreach, and overreach is bad.

Maybe go grass-roots, and boycott Google? That's cancel culture, and cancel culture's bad.

Protest? What are you, a spoilt ivy-league uni trust fund student? And you can't take a knee during the national anthem because that's un-American.

But it's fine. It's a capitalist country, not a socialist hellhole. Any moment now the free market will correct course, and a competitor will emerge with cheaper prices and put Google out of business.
I used to laugh at Dijkstra's idea that all code should be mathematically proven correct. I thought of it as a laughable idea from yet another out-of-touch mathematician.

I suppose true genius is seldom understood within someone's lifetime.
That is what you hope, but do you know how many people believed in the Q conspiracy? Chemtrails? Reptiloids? Bill Gates using the vaccination to control everyone through a microchip? It is the same ballpark.

I wish those people pushing this, were doing it just for the lulz. But mostly they are serious.

Wonder if the higher-ups who mandated this software to be installed in their hospitals were informed about that fact.
A lot of QA, especially at the system level, is just luck. That’s why it’s so important to dogfood internally imho.

And by internally I don’t just mean the development team, but anyone and everyone at the company who is allowed to have access to early builds.
Chocolate contains significant quantities of heavy metals so they’re making the world better but also making it worse.

A couple of years ago, I helped a small business with an embroidery machine that runs Windows 98. Its physical computer died, and the owner could not find the spare parts. Fortunately, it used a parallel port to control the embroidery hardware, so it was easy to move to a VM with a USB parallel port adapter.
Centralisation is really the core of the problem here.

Take ZScaler, which is a service that proxies all network connections of a computer to a central cloud proxy server, mitms it (decrypt, inspect, log, and encrypt), and then forwards it to the target server. Imagine that this is hacked, and this isn't immediately discovered. Hackers listening in and being able to tap off cookies, bearer tokens and other confidential information for weeks. That would affect so many companies. And if they would want to cause a DoS, many computers and servers would be left without an operational internet connection.
Going underground is not a solution to rising temperatures. The reason why it’s good at keeping its temperature somewhat constant is because it is a poor heat conductor.

It’s fine for a cellar or something like that but larger structures still require air conditioning. See for example the London Underground where they have issues with the deep underground lines heating up over the years.

Ok but is the argument now just because it's by Google with its media presence it's not niche? "Constraint solving" is an overly broad term that can encompass most of computer science but at least finite domain solving, interval propagation, and SAT solving as specific algorithmic approaches with very different applications. Going by your post, potential users looking for planning, scheduling, or optimization problems to solve will jump to very specific implementation techniques having won synthetic benchmarks in basically unrelated domains for showcasing "something with constraints". Classic OR is about optimizing systems of linear (in-)equations, but discrete optimization problems and most financial investment planning problems don't come in this flavor and really need very laborious encodings (like into equational systems with 1000s of artificial variables) to fit OR model formulation requirements or SAT checkers. Great, now you're prematurely solving idiosyncratic representation problems; your consultants surely will rub their hands. But I stand by my opinion that Prolog is, by far, a much better starting point for the kind of explorative programming required in this domain. Making Prolog fast/scaling on mainstream cloud hardware (like Quantum Prolog and SICStus are doing) has very much to offer to users, and is behind many or even most real-world scheduling and optimization applications.
Very cool project, I've been procrastinating for months on making something like this (overengineering everything in my brain) to replace a filesystem based, Bash solution I cooked up years ago.

This is way nicer than what I'm currently doing.

While I'm at it, forgive me for treating this like a support thread, but I set up an idle mpv window with a socket, and expected that the `--mpv-socket` option would allow me to send videos to the player instance tied to that socket, but that's not how it's working. (It opens a new window instead.) Is this as expected? Is there a way to set up what I'm trying to do some other way? Videos come in all shapes and sizes, and with Wayland not able to remember previous window positions, it's currently completely unworkable to play videos and do work at the same time.
Or they are confusing imagination of how much they would like to have sex with reality. Or they feel the social pressure, to boast themself. Sexual activity is kind of a primitive success metric. Reporting low numbers means reporting low success ..
The employees is a very important attack vector, we had multiple incidents, after they downloaded the wrong kind of stuff.
And, make sure they write unit tests for all of the tricky edge cases!
It is deeply ironic that the modern technological era provided both the means for destroying the planet and monitoring that destruction to minute detail.
I don’t really agree with the characterization. That can matter at scale and the other thing to consider is latency
There's an alternative solution: update everything, but limit your dependencies.

Example: for my (personal) projects, I only use whatever is available in the debian repositories. If it's not in there, it's not on my dependency list.

Then enable unattended upgrades, and forget about all that mess.
Don't worry. They are working on hiding the output of methane from satellites. So you can stay as careless as you want! Yay capitalism!

Almost all the Git commits of Koodo have the same message: "fix bug".
https://github.com/koodo-reader/koodo-reader/commits/master/

I'm really not confortable with projects that treat the Git history as junk, to the point I'd rather avoid that software. I daily use the e-reader Koreader, and sometimes Plato, and their source code and Git history are clear and documented (though I think Koreader's choice of Lua is poorly suited to the task). I could patch Koreader to my taste and send pull requests.
canonical has some of the most ridiculous IT job postings i’ve come across. just sounds like a bananas software shop. didn’t give me much confidence in whatever they cooking up in there
Crowdstrike (Falcon) has all possible compliance certifications (they are PCI, FedRAMP, ISO-27001, etc.), and these often include following standard practices of SDLC, such as testing, deploying, incident management, etc. And they are much more detailed than the answer from AI.

My suspicion, as someone pointed out, is that they deployed this update as a small patch, maybe bypassing some controls and cutting some corners. I really wouldn't blame it on lack of automated tests, etc. Only crowdstrike people know how this thing possibly made it to production.

Raw performance is not only factor. There is heating, battery and image post processing optimizations which are miles ahead on SD.
That's because the reviewing the checklists can then be - no offence intended - offloaded to cheap workers in 2nd and 3rd world countries who are judged by the checklists they sign off. There is no room for critical thinking or adapting to the particular situation. I see this happening daily in a large company where the enforcement of infosec is offshored to east Asia.
Installing automatic gates at crossings can fix (almost) 15~20 fatalities a year there? I've seen at least double-digit traffic deaths in my life, 4 of which I've watched happen and can vividly recollect, here in the USA. Installing infrastructure to prevent deaths seems like a no-brainer if you live in a country that supposedly cares.

It's apparently not a no-brainer here -- two of the lethal accidents I've witnessed [one involving ripping the door off a car with the help of some kind stangers, to get someone out of a literally flaming wreck] would have been entirely avoided by a simple traffic circle. The most grizzly one I remember could likely (it seems to me; I'm not a traffic...engineer?) have been avoided by not having a low-traffic on-ramp connect directly to a major highway, when there was a clearly-denoted on-ramp a quarter-mile away. Seeing another human with their head 20ft away leaves a bit of an impression on a child.
Show HN: Two joint small web projects
simple CMS without frameworks, and hosting that is based on this CMS.

https://github.com/turboblack/HamsterCMS

The great thing about CMS is that it has multi-templates, you can assign each page its own design (template)

http://web1.0hosting.net/

hosting is a home for geeks, like geocities 30 years ago, but with one interesting change - you can run a blog, you can install a chat, use ready-made templates (there are already more than 70 of them), and administer your site even from under DOS (and many templates work in Internet Explorer 5 from 1999)

Since March, we have seriously expanded the functionality, and now it is a rather interesting platform with a social component, in addition, if you bring friends, you always receive an additional 500 MB for files, and so on every time, if there is a recommendation from you.

official website of the CMS

http://old.net.eu.org/

but since then it has undergone many changes, additions, improvements, but just in case, I left the very first version so that you can compare where it all began
Why not? It's unlikely it was the last null byte in the data file that killed the driver.
No, they are getting worse. But it has changed progressively so there is not really a point in time when it went significantly worse rapidly (except if you’re collateral damage in the cat-and-mouse game with ad blockers).

But comparing across several years it is hard to ignore.
I have an OpenAI endpoint named “electricmonk”. It is oddly fitting.
Whats the motivation behind project like this one?

We got ceph, minio, seaweedfs ... and a dozen of others. I am genuinly curious what is the goal here?
What is the billable rate? 1000 per hour?
Very interesting. I can imagine this map would benefit from a different kind of visualization. Maybe a heatmap would better accentuate problematic areas.
Corruption has traditionally been difficult to quantify. There is the Corruption Perceptions Index, which uses perception as a (clever but tricky) proxy for actual corruption.

To tie this into your conversation:

Nigeria would rank 145th,
the US would be ranked 24th,
and the lowest-ranking EU country, if I'm not mistaken, would be Hungary at 76th.

I’ve been building LLM-driven systems for customers for quite some time. We got tired of hallucinations from vector-based and hybrid RAGs last year, eventually arriving to the approach similar to yours.

It is even called Knowledge Mapping [1]. It works really well, and customers can understand it.

Probably the only difference with your approach is that we use different architectural patterns to map domain knowledge into bits of knowledge that LLMs will use to reason (Router, Knowledge Base, Search Scope, Workflows, Assistant etc)

My contacts are in the profile, if you want to bounce ideas!

It is just as annoying for the employees purchasing from the vendor. Constantly needing to apologise for the invoices not being paid on time, constantly needing to ping accounts payable to check what the status is (otherwise it is just a black hole you forward the invoice to).
How are you able to do this and not get your IP banned by youtube, using a proxy will require lots of bandwidth. I assume you're using yt-dlp
No, I find the vendor deliberately self-destructing the firmware to be more user-hostile than having to set up altstore once.

It is something that shouldn’t even be required in the first place, the android support model is incredibly user-hostile at the best of times. So if you punish me for trying to keep my device up to date after your shitty 2 year support window expires then I’m not going to buy it. And I know a few brands have adopted longer lifespans but most android phones sold are not from those brands.

Moreover, I think this is a perfect example of the way the anti-apple crowd has glommed onto all the terminology and appropriated it as solely meaning the things that favor their brand. There’s more to right to repair than component-level replacement for example - oem parts availability and OS support lifespans are key factors in waste generation too.

You don’t get to tell me what I find user-hostile or not, and user-hostility certainly isn’t a phenomenon that is only restricted to brands that whatever group of fanboys like or not. There are many user-hostile aspects of the whole android package and distribution model despite the fact you can sideload or install a rom (maybe, if the vendor doesn’t delete the firmware while you do it).

Even in the narrowest possible sense of “treating the user as an attacker”, I’d feel pretty damn attacked if my phone deleted its camera firmware because it thought I unlocked the bootloader! But that doesn’t count of course, because user-hostility is narrowly defined to only happen on platforms that android people don’t like. It’s all just very tedious, and when I hear endlessly about the battery throttle (that you can turn off!) but not the android phones that delete their own firmware when the user wants to unlock the bootloader it’s hard to view the whole “user-hostility” thing and right-to-repair more generally as being anything other than a bad-faith ploy. There are actually important issues there that get lost in the sea of brand warriorism and financially-interested parties.

When you are playing with language and narrowly defining things to mean only the things that don’t happen on your platform, you aren’t being serious, you’re being a fanboy.

Ah, that's a good way to store these concepts in memory: an organisms levels of identity acquiring resources and/or being "otherwise more impactful".
Don't you think they will be sued now too?
This is a limit of an LLM's architecture. It is based on statistics and can only answer statistical questions. If you want it to provide non-probable answers, an LLM won't work.
understanding the short term implications is already hard enough.

for example assuming they are granted to own the land they live on, we could not just let them sell the right to logging and let others destroy their land. so we need to be careful which the choices we allow them to make. eg, if they want to move into the city, fine, but then we need to make sure they can reverse that decision and go back, or at least continue some of their lifestyle. iaw: the problem is irreversible decisions that are difficult to understand.

but also problems caused by learning about alcohol, depending on government support, education that doesn't respect their culture and knowledge, etc.

so my approach would be to teach them knowledge they can use to improve their lives, introduce them to the idea that others live in other ways, but also that it takes an effort to change their lifestyle. like they will have to learn new trades in order to get jobs and earn an income if they want to do that.
They’re a self-described “non-profit experimental hosting group”. It’s used to host their website, chat server data, etc.

It’s great they made it (I use personally!) but that’s more akin to a home-lab than commercial vendor.
This is _not_ an alternative to CUDA nor to OpenCL. It has some high-level and opinionated API [1], which covers a part (rather small part) of the API of each of those.

It may, _in principle_, have been developed - with much more work than has gone into it - into such an alternative; but I am actually not sure of that since I have poor command of Vulcan. I got suspicious being someone who maintains C++ API wrappers for CUDA myself [2], and know that just doing that is a lot more code and a lot more work.

[1] - I assume it is opinionated to cater to CNN simulation for large language models, and basically not much more.

Rust is the language I am the most proficient at this point, so it was a natural choice for me.

Tuxguitar is written in Java and works perfectly fine TBH, even if Rust has clear advantages for high performance software it does not matter that much in this context.
Can I a real question? How do personally deal with the trauma of responding to an accident with death(s)? I don't have the guts to do a job like that.
I do not agree. As an analogue, consider "files". Files are good. But do not put each letter in a file of its own. I've seen projects that experimentally used one method definition per file which was also not very workable. But don't put all of your data into a single file, either.

People will want to have local representation, which means local elections and boundaries for the reach of local government. When it comes to state-wide and national elections, either re-use these existing boundaries or determine districts using a fair algorithm. The way that politicians get to gerrymander their own seats is an ongoing scandal.

With approval voting replacing first-past-the-post, districts in presidential elections would be reduced to a mere organizational function. No redrawing of arbitrary borders should influence the outcome. It will still be important to ensure open and fair procedures; nobody should be forced to drive a car to reach a single distant mail ballot box or voting station only to have then to queue up for hours. This and other measures have been used in the past to defraud voters.
What Is Temu's Business Model and How Does Its Marketing Strategy Win in 2024
Its easier and cheaper (and a lil safer) to run wires to the up\down control lever and have those actuate a valve somewhere, than it is to run hydraulic hoses to a lever like in lifts of old, for example.

That said it could also be run by whatever the equivalent of "PLC on an 8bit Microcontroller" is, and not some full embedded Windows system with live online virus protection so yeah, what the hell.
But that's a complete failure of the people doing traffic management: Other countries manage to make car accessible shops by minimizing the number of ingress and egress points in the road that is supposed to be fast, and moving the stores to a side street that has all those points, but is slower, narrower, and possibly usable by a pedestrian.

The sin of the stroad is to give us a 6 lane road that is ultimately risky and slow-ish due to those ingress points, instead of separating the fast traffic and the slow one. Most of the time we'd not even need a larger right of way: Just treating major roads as places where every intersection is a serious hazard to minimize.
Yes, I fully agree.

Unfortunately, we have decades of first Haskell pseudo-fans, a sidequest of generic "static typing (don't look at how weak the type system is)" pseudo-fans, and now Rust afficionados that do act like it's all-or-nothing and types will magically fix things including category and logic errors.

At some point tiredness and reactivity steeps in.
Do you still have railroad crossings without automated gates? If yes, why? Cultural resistance?
