That seems reductive. Are you a slave owner if your shirts were made in sweatshops? You certainly contribute to the problem, but i don't think your a hypocrite if you use modern features of life - nearly all negatively impact. The alternative is living in the woods off grid - and likely illegally, since you can't afford to buy the land without also being a hypocrite in most locations.

I think there's a middle ground where you acknowledge there's a problem, try in some part to mitigate your contribution and build the world you want to be.

We don't have to be all-in on sweatshops and environmental destruction just because we in some part contribute to the problem as well.

I strongly suspect that what AI will end up doing is push companies and organizations towards open source, they will eventually realize that code is already being shared via AI channels, so why not do it legally with open source?

The relevant dynamics change between an average American woman versus a top 10% American woman compared to any American versus an average woman in a poorer country.

Specifically, women's rights, financial independence, and general safety if choosing to forego having many children or even entering into a relationship.

The women in the poorest countries are having more kids due to not being able to have fewer kids.

Average American women have fewer kids than top 10% Americans due to wanting more resources per child.

For the untested in this subject you’ve got to research about Brazil’s effort to use as much open source as they can at the state level. They’ve been doing so for nearly 20 years.

Hopefully this also introduces standardized auditing of open sourced packages. Just because something is open sourced, doesn’t mean it’s altruistic and not susceptible to malicious actors submitting seemingly innocuous code that gives bad actors a back door.

The xz fiasco earlier this year should encourage every organization to conduct such audits. A code smell could and should be enough for packages to not be supported.
> In Physics, entropy is a property of a bit of matter, it is not related to the observer or their knowledge. We can measure the enthalpy change of a material sample and work out its entropy without knowing a thing about its structure.

Enthalpy is also dependent on your choice of state variables, which is in turn dictated by which observables you want to make predictions about: whether two microstates are distinguishable, and thus whether the part of the same macrostate, depends on the tools you have for distinguishing them.
Great idea, too bad the DOE and NSF were there first.

There are definitely a lot of similarities. I spent some time reviewing allocator designs to see if some ideas might carry over.

One problem I found is that a lot of allocators benefit from being able to track freelists based on some minimum sizes needed for allocations (e.g., https://github.com/sebbbi/OffsetAllocator). This problem is a bit different in that I want to know the first available block even though it might be much bigger than I need. Having multiple lists might still be useful though, but it's not as effective as how they're used in allocators - you'd usually need to search multiple freelists to know the first available instead of one.
You mentioned that the intervals are disjoint, but are they adjacent? I've had success with maintaining a "coalescing interval set" structure, where adjacent intervals are merged into a single interval. It's very, very efficient for lookups, and not terrible for insertion / removal of intervals. At the very least it might work as a view for your read-heavy processes.

You mentioned shop scheduling below as well. If your intervals represent booked time, you could also insert 'unavailable' time into the coalesced set, so that, when fully booked, the interval set is reduced to a single interval.

It has been years since I have seen a fire truck get a green light through preemption. It probably varies by jurisdiction, but around here the preemption just causes the entire intersection to go red. Then the emergency vehicle can navigate across carefully.

In addition to being basically useless as a trick these days, it is also trivially easy to detect an IR strobe being used, and the penalty can be hefty.

Fun fact: In some places, there are strobes on the signal that activate when it has been preempted, to let everyone know an emergency vehicle is coming through.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted - this is literally what two of the people I know do. They actually make more than what I make at a FAANG. The real kicker? One of their jobs is a contractual position and so they opened up a business for it and hiring family members as employees to save on taxes. So the take home pay is actually higher than me.

Doing so however carries a lot of risk and one needs to have a certain mentality to be able to actually do it (I certainly don't have that).
> without understanding their motivations

Oh they are absolutely have motivations against their own people dieing in the hundreds of thousands and they have motivations against them losing significant military assets and having massive amounts of economic damages.

Those are normal motivations they every county has.

That's why the best way to get them to change behavior is to "motivate" them with those consequences.

Current analysis is that Russia has maybe another year and a half left in their war before it ends due to these "motivational factors".

Still a ways to go, but manageable.
I don't think there are many places in tech where an employee can leave at 5 and expect to keep their job.
Searchcraft, a new search engine built in Rust
I've been working on this in stealth mode for awhile now, wanted to announce that we're officially opening up our Alpha Pilot sign-up for Searchcraft!

What is Searchcraft? It's a developer-focused SaaS platform for developers to quickly integrate a highly performant content search into their apps. We built it from the ground-up in Rust, so far the metrics are really promising and we're seeing far better performance for queries per second and concurrent connections than Elasticsearch, Aloglia and Typesense.

I work at a consultancy that does a lot of app builds for small companies/start-ups that need to add search quickly. The dev time to integrate the existing options like Elasticsearch take far too long. We believe developers should focus on building features that make their products great, not toiling away on building search. Search often times takes specialized knowledge to build properly and startups typically don't have the time and budget to dedicate to this. Having experience the pain of working with tools like Elasticsearch first hand, we knew we could built something with a better developer experience.

Our first version that we’ll be launching for our Alpha Pilot cohort will be a smaller subset of our features but we'll be giving away access to this for the first 1000 who sign up on the waitlist. When the beta phase launches we'll be rolling out the first of many SDK integrations. I would love to hear about what you are building and if there is a way that Searchcraft can help.
Just went through a lot of these, and can confidently say: way way more dangerous to own a company than be a part of one. Significantly less fun, however. I believe it comes down to personality type.

The type system is still in development so we haven't seen what the end result is yet, but I believe the system they're implementing is going to be sound.

This is exactly what I tell my coworkers who are getting into security. Keep your mouth shut about anything you find unless you have a reporting channel that leads to a "well lawyered" security company.

I've found vulnerabilities that I would have loved to disclose, but being a lowly IT generalist, I'm not going to stick my neck out. I can't imagine my employer would like the press.

I use one-off email addresses at my personal domain and historically warned companies that I was seeing spam to one-off addresses as possible indications of a data breach. By and large I was ignored, but occasionally I received a word of thanks. Even more occasionally I received notes of thanks that, in fact, I had uncovered a data breach.

Once, however, I received a nasty response insinuating that I'd breached their systems. The person I contacted didn't, apparently, understand what I was saying. They were confused that their company name was to the left of the "@" in my email address.

That was enough for me. I decided I was done reporting those events. Too much risk.

Podcasters are much less picky, with much more audio to process. For music or film, I would strongly agree.
Best advice in this entire comment thread. Everyone on HN makes $2M/yr, has a vacation home in Tahoe and drives three Ferraris.
Having thought a bit about it, one motivation for choosing the route I did; rather than the more idiomatic one; is that it relies on pipeline of source transformations to get to optimal code.

The initial expansion is often pretty sloppy.

I don't do many source transformations, everything is designed to emit pretty optimal byte code on the first pass.
The value of AI is in the information used to train the models, not the hardware.
Can someone ELI5 what does this mean for people using LetsEncrypt today with servers like Nginx or Caddy ? Do we need to make any changes to adjust ?
I mean… open source IS suffering insecurity issues.

A lot of the supply chain failures I can think of, were open source projects.

I’m not saying node or OSS has no place, but there is more than something to do t being a security issue.

How many years was heartbleed exploitable despite “all the eyes on it”?

The good part about OSS is all the people that can review it, the bad part is all the people that can review it. Now… which one is more incentivized today ignoring a future military use?

It only works when assets are put into hardening existing code.
Mexican immigration slowed because the economy there has improved. And the economy has improved partly because of US investment there.

First of all, privacy was one of the points of OCSP stapling.

Second, this breaks all non-http applications in the sense that they could previously work through OCSP stapling which would be communicated in-line. CRLs need to be fetched by the client, generally over HTTP.

Third, most non-browser TLS clients simply do not fetch CRLs, the implementation hurdle was too high.

… I'm left seriously befuddled by this decision by Let's Encrypt [edit: or rather the CA/B forum] :(
More to the point -- the land was plenty "prosperous" to the people who lived there. Whatever uses for that land that outsiders deem to be prosperous (for them) are completely irrelevant.
The codebase to do the training is way less valuable than the weights for the vast majority of people. Releasing the training code would be nice, but it doesn't really help anyone but Meta's direct competitors.

If you want to train on top of Llama there's absolutely nothing stopping you. Plenty of open source tools to do parameter optimization.

It’s ok, I’m not an exception. I’m talking about baselines here. I actually care about both groups. Are you pissed? Don’t show it to the customer, come yelling at me, I’m paid for that.
The issue I have with Default is that the verbosity jump from derive(Default) to impl Default for Type is high, evej if you just want to specify a single field. The other reason I want this is because it makes defining builders almost trivial for any case where custom logic isn't needed for the fields. I would expect the impl-based builder pattern to become more niche if we had this feature. Your reason is yet another that would be nice to address as well. I like how this one change addresses multiple things at once.
The truth is we need both closed and open source, they both have their discovery path and advantages and disadvantages, there shouldn’t be a system where one is eliminated over the other. They also seem to be driving each other forward via competition.
It's intrinsic to transformers that the inner workings are largely inscrutable. This is no different, but it does not mean they cannot be built upon.

Gradient descent works on these models just like the prior ones.
> Out in meatspace, I don't wander around picking random people's locks

Sure, because the chances of getting punched out, shot, or reported to the cops is significantly higher. Given how trivial it is to quietly attack across the network, I think the analogy with meatspace makes little sense.
It's unfortunate that such propositions sell so well though. I love Hillel's conclusion here, it's so easy to say this is how the world should be and then suddenly everything would be fixed! In practice, there are no silver bullets and we can talk about how the world could be but should is a total wash.

Sadly, I have found that making such assertions get you pretty far. Perhaps people want to believe that all their problems are just a wand wave away and are willing to pay for it? I guess it's a nice premise. After all, placebos still work.
They can't release training dataset if it was illegally scrapped all over the web without permission :) (taps head)
See Satya Nadella has recently said that Microsoft will now put security above any other value at Microsoft. He specifically even singled out backwards compatibility.

https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2024/05/03/prioritizing-sec...

Microsoft is a big boat. It takes a long time to turn if the captain orders it. But the captain has ordered it. I expect the sacrosanct nature of back compat to eventually die. Windows will never turn into the moving target that macOS is, but I expect a lot of old stuff to just stop working, when security concerns dictate they should be removed.
Especially a business that will get you the same revenue as a FAANG job.
I agree with the philosophy at a high level, but opening up the power of what you can do at compile time is a very deep and nuanced trade off space. I think there’s a more general way to state what you’re getting after as well: we should be able to express arbitrary constraints that are enforced by the compiler. These constraints don’t really have to be about values themselves but could also be about how they are consumed e.g. linear types.

Unfortunately, the more powerful the type system, the harder it is to make inferences. Generality comes at a cost.
Usually the deferred bonus is paid out to you if you leave, so it's a little bit different than an RSU grant.

Thanks to Meta for their work on safety, particularly Llama Guard. Llama Guard 3 adds defamation, elections, and code interpreter abuse as detection categories.

Having run many red teams recently as I build out promptfoo's red teaming featureset [0], I've noticed the Llama models punch above their weight in terms of accuracy when it comes to safety. People hate excessive guardrails and Llama seems to thread the needle.

Very bullish on open source.

Happy to also take a swing at it, but it would take me a bit because I've never added such compatibility to a library before.

Your client does the checking of the server cert, no need for any configuration server side.

If you use certs for client auth it’s unlikely it’s used on the web and only in a company setting where you control the PCs, where you could just use something more suited for that case.
It's the client that is supposed to fetch the CRL. The server doesn't care unless it does client certificate authentication (which is incredibly rare due to poor UX.)
Do you like physical activities (or can you learn to?) Rock climbing, mountain biking, martial arts, kayaking, etc. are all great for this, grounding you in the moment and making you focus.

Otherwise... I don't think this is a really great lifestyle suggestion overall, but maybe in your specific case, only for limited doses: Video games?

Depending on where you are, you can often find gov support to start your business. (Here in Canada, this support can be grants, loans or event free experts time.)
When it's gov monetary support, you usually have to bring 50% of the total amount.

Society places a lot of care and concern about women, but when a man has a problem, they're usually told something along the lines of "Just suck it up, buttercup."

I don't know what the answer is, and I don't even know if I have a good definition of the overall problem. However, there are clearly problems that aren't being addressed, and if left untouched, they will be no good for society.
