What are the alternatives to these centralizing naming services?

I guess most people don't even use direct url address for anything. I often see people looking for "google" in the adress/search bar before searching the term from which they expect the link to the website they are looking for.

So given this pattern, I don't feel like the domain name is something relevant for most end users.

For a static page, or any autonomous js spaghetti, it's easy to simply save the document locally.

As soon as some updatability comes in, like a comment section, then the issue of having a way to track a distant resource really becomes relevant. IP offer no guarantees of stability of resource provider. A domain name ensures transparent IP transition as long as the domain lessee is willing and able to pay the bill. This latter point is actually a very concrete security concern, which alone should bring enough consideration to look for other approaches.
They went through "De Novo" premarket review as their medical device was distinct from any previous devices. This is a higher standard than the normal "510(k)" process. Both tracks involve a lot of evidence, a lot of documents, and a lot of scrutiny from the FDA.

They went through the harder track of FDA approval for medical devices.

I have no idea why you seem to think the primary way for the FDA to approve of new treatments is somehow... not them approving of it?

The wording is really poor. "Pre-market authorization" is their approval process. As in, you don't get to tell anybody that your device has any medical benefit unless we've assessed it.

I have a question to you. The Brilliant Labs website says:

Out of the box you have access to AI models like Perplexity, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Whisper etc. allowing you to receive answers to questions about what you’re currently looking at, experience live translation from either speech or text, and query the internet real time.

Do you feel this is all true?

I am especially interested in ‘experience live translation from either speech or text’. Do you feel that works?
does subliminal qualify as unobtrusive ? :)
Don’t let remote operation of safety critical systems at oil refineries + removal of physical emergency automatic shutdown systems at oil refineries worry you either. When one of those fails for a stupid reason or is hacked by psychopaths it’ll make Bhopal look like a walk in the park.

Don’t over-egg the Crowdstrike thing - the really poor tech choices are going to deliver between three and six orders more of death when the inevitable happens.

It’s a relatively low-impact warning. We can learn from it or not. I know what I’m expecting.
If you are actually a Boltzmann brain, then you're a gazillion times more likely to have an experience that has nothing to do with the actual state of the universe than you are to coincidentally hallucinate an argument that you're a Boltzmann brain based on rules that actually apply to nature. Therefore, there's nothing to worry about.
It's because it makes more money and is more stable than once time buy. And it's especially expensive because it's "medical": both because it is more expensive to have a medical stamps of approval (although I'm not sure here) and because people don't have many alternatives
That sort of begs the question. Do we indeed know that, or is this knowledge just a widely shared prejudice?
Yeah this. Make sure you provision lots of memcache chunk caches as well because S3 is slow as shit.
The promo where it was telling the human what it could make with visible ingredients
For your last point, there already is a long thread in the Biden post yesterday. As per them, it makes both the sides same somehow.
When I feel my anxiety gets too much space in my brain these are some things that work for me:

- Sim racing with my Moza setup
- Trail running
- Mountainbike riding on not too easy terrain

All these activities does the same thing, forces my brain to focus here and now and take time-critical micro-decisions.

Other activities that puts me in the same frame of mind would probably work too. For example climbing worked for me when I did that, and even working through a large set of pretty easy maths exercises worked while I was more focused on maths in my life.

In between the most focused parts of these activities I often gain deeper insights and feel grounded.

Good luck finding what works for you!
Stremio is a Mediacenter thingy. You can provide different video sources using Plugins.

People mainly use it for torrenting. It's nice in theory since it allows you to watch basically anything without having to download it first. It will find and download Torrents on demand and start playing them after a small buffer has been built.

But stremio users are only active on a given Torrent while watching its content. Meaning that they contribute nothing back to the network. If everyone (or a large enough percentage of users) would act like this the whole (public) BitTorrent Network would no longer work.
I think it's a misleading argument because it compares things that aren't alike.

On the one hand, we have management telling workers to use safety equipment that basically everyone agrees is necessary. That has nothing to do with bureaucracy, it's about preventing people from cutting corners.

On the other hand, we have clueless interns sending questionaires to vendors, who then tell their own clueless interns to fill them with some buzzwords, just to be filed away without anyone actually looking at the completed form, in order to check some compliance checkbox somewhere.

These two things are nothing alike.
everything is subscription based, because companies have a continuous income stream (as opposed to one time large payment). With an continuous income stream you can plan better.
It's always fascinating to me when people say "not to burst your bubble but it's really simple to use this other tool which can already do the task", and then write an essay about all the workarounds they had to apply to make the other tool work

Scalability and cost -- Loki stores the the actual log data on S3 and only keeps an index of a few fields. Log queries that can then efficiently target the (hopefully small) set of files containing the data and loki can re-parse those specific files from S3 to display the log results.
I at first thought a 486 was probably faster, but that Apollo CPU has 64 bit data path apparently. It might have been a beast. I didn't even know Apollo used anything but Motorola 68k CPUs.
It’s very unfortunate, and it causes species native to Türkiye to disappear. A lot of the salep you might find shopping is a salep mix, meant to make the drink salep, and is mostly sugar. The history of the salep drink is itself fascinating. A hot salep-based drink was for a while wifely popular in England, but then fell out of favor when it became associated with being a medicine for venereal disease https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salep
> How so? Generative AI has developed in a way that's very amenable to the bearers of accumulated privilege, it requires so much capital expenditure that it's in the hands of a few companies that can be variously negotiated with or strong armed. This is not at all like the computer and internet revolutions of the 90s.

Even at today's bloated GPU prices (which won't last,) training rigs cost about the same as the servers and data pipes that serious dot-coms needed, and much less than the fabs that serious semiconductor outfits needed in ~1980, especially when adjusted for inflation. Many AI startups don't do their own primary training at all, making their costs identical to barebones dot-coms'.

> What's the difference with the status quo if the main players are Microsoft, Meta and Google?

You forgot OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple and Amazon. Of the seven, two are new, three emerged from the last revolution and two from the one before.

The incumbent companies in the 90s were the likes of IBM, DEC, HP, Unisys, SGI and Sun. Almost all of them smelled the coffee and invested heavily in various Internet plays. Only a few survived, most of them only barely. The previous revolution was even bloodier.

Today's incumbents are also smelling the coffee and have AI plays. None of them is certain they'll still be around 10 years from now.

The reason Meta opened up Llama is because they were convinced that the barriers to entry were minimal. In 2022, Altman famously claimed that if there was a Moore's Law in parameter count, it had already topped out. A large fraction of use cases can be handled with models under 10B. Training algorithms are increasing in efficiency faster than parameter counts are increasing. The only real barriers to entry are patents (and we won't know what that looks like until they break stealth) and the possibility of nefarious anticompetitive deals with the IP conglomerates that we're discussing here.

Many economists expect the disruption caused by AI to be much greater than that of PCs and the Internet. The usual parallel is electrification. The gentry from back East is in the covered wagons too.
Misguided regulations are more common than not, that's the real damaging kind.

Probably more likely with tech when regulators are more tech-illiterate than the situation requires.

All kinds of other regulations can be misguided for other reasons too, lobbyists' jobs are primarily there to do the misguiding.
Pretty amusing. They make more money when you're worse at treating your ADHD since you'll be unable to actually cancel the subscription.
You know what else would be cool, if you had a database of cocktails or at least common ingredients so you could make up what the cocktail is made out of to get the correct ABV. You could make this something that people can share back with other users of the app.

Sorry, I was imprecise. If a principal starts a new process that indiscriminately inherits the same capabilities of its parent, the security posture is no different from what we have today.
> the people making the decisions know they need computer security, but they can't tell the difference between real computer security and security theater.

Hit the nail on the head.

Also real security being something you do rather than something you can buy is a big thing, these people think you can buy your way out properly understanding and designing systems. Vendors have taught them to think this way across all software (not just security) so it's hard to blame them but it does make this very hard to fix.
> you want to create a useful ranking, your first few results need to have identified the correct intent but also be sensitive to timeliness and location.

This fundamentally misunderstands the goal of a search engine too. This part is mainly for helping to sell ads and not rank by relevance.

The correct way to rank results for a query like Rome is to return results related to a modern city, then ancient times, and keep the local pizza place at the bottom. Yelp/maps/search really don’t need to be all wrapped up in the same utility function, and honestly no one asked for this. It’s just been that way for so long that people have internalized the idea that it must be essential.

Localization/trending content etc mainly serve the needs of advertisers, trackers, marketers.. not searchers.

News and product search can/should probably be orthogonal, but instead we’re going the opposite direction and increasingly removing distinctions between maps/video/image/text search. This helps platforms to erode the distinction between user-directed organic discovery vs promoted content.
That's just Microsoft's incompetence blaming the EU. MS should start making their products not full of security holes.
Essential Eight 'maturity levels' are vague in this regard, though seems to mandate it (at least 'application control'), at varying levels.

Seems like the only way third-parties could do it 'effectively' is with kernel-level access, though I am absolutely not an expert in this field (light years from it).

https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/e...

Having been an end-user going through the adoption of one of these third-party application control and auditing systems, I won't say which, or for whom, I can definitely state it was painful. Said system broke quite a few business-as-usual processes, despite a months long 'learning phase' and often required 'super user' intervention. Occasionally this is still the case now, because almost no software vendor (commercial or open-source) digitally signs all their files capable of executing instructions (either natively or via an interpreter). That said, the third-party app control package stops everything it doesn't recognise or has an exception for. I don't know how far it embeds itself into the system though.

It seems like vendors like CrowdStrike swoop in on the 'easy to be compliant' gimmick.

One wonders how many are aware of Microsoft's own products in this space? App Locker comes to

Which makes some sense if rust is only of tangential concern...

"I build cool thing X in rust applause" sucks and is borderline spammy imo

But when discussing a language feature, a type, including the language name should be a given and not trigger any rust haters
This is undoubtedly one of the few times the Democrats collectively did the right thing and defended against an outsider from taking over their Party the way Trump took over and undermined the Republican Party.

People like to imagine that the Parties are these kind of quasi-public entities that exist to serve the American people. They’re not. They’re private entities that are vehicles for the acquisition of power across local, State and Federal offices that are in a perpetual term-based competition with each other. We tolerate their campaigns because their battlefield is the ballot box instead of actual fields, but nominee selection still happens at conventions run by the parties themselves.

The Primary system you are familiar with is one that the Republicans and Democrats chose for themselves to inform their overall decisions on who to put forward as the candidate flying under their banner and has only been around since 1972.
Yeah, or there could simply be a `days()` free function (and equivalents of the other methods too). No need for struct constructors to be associated functions.
Automated CI/CD - many of us already do this hundreds of times a day. If you’re an emergency call centre, join a consortium of similar orgs and standardise tech and do it properly.

Defer updates. Most things can wait 8-12 hours. Even more can wait 3 weeks (did this for all but security-critical npm package updates in one place).

Demand legal changes to ensure fair liability for failure to undertake basic measures by service providers for paid software and services. Demand proper liability for C-suites not ensuring that actual risk management is in place instead of stupid box-ticking.

Design better software. Seriously, the kinds of half-baked stuff that costs so much is incredible. It doesn’t take longer, and it doesn’t cost more to do things right, the only change is that management needs to be engaged with outcomes and have skin in the game. Execs should run the risk of going to jail for egregious failures.
Not surprising at all. My work issued MacBook top CPU time has been always `com.crowdstrike.falcon.Agent`, before Apple M1 released my Intel 2019 MacBook Pro can barely do any everyday task with that Agent running in the background. It crashed video calls, crashed the entire OS, I couldn't even smoothly type in an IDE back then.

Asking for a friend, if you are a Stremio user, how would you easily contribute back to the network ?
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-in...

How is $70,000 not much? OK sure, companies can be expected to deal with a bit higher number than the median revenues of citizens. However concurrent businesses won't flourish if there is an entry paying wall which by far exceed individual capacities.
The missing syntax highlighting (or the absence of any highlighting) makes it really hard to read.

>But stremio users are only active on a given Torrent while watching its content. Meaning that they contribute nothing back to the network.

That's why private trackers are the best. As a member you're mandated to seed what you download for a minimum amount of time or data, which IMHO should be mandatory for P-2-P networks, otherwise the whole concept falls apart if everyone is selfish and only does hit-and-runs.

Show HN: I made an app that turns YouTube videos and articles into a course
Hey everyone! I'm a solo developer and I made this app during my free time after graduating high school.

studymap.ai uses AI to create structured courses from start to finish, with lessons, project ideas, and links to useful internet resources. You can either describe what you want to learn or just give it the link to any YouTube video or article and it will create organized chapters.

I had this idea after struggling to learn new skills online, like Linux, new programming languages, etc. I found myself browsing for hours just to find the perfect resources to get started with actually learning. Once I realized I could use the power of GPT-4 and web-searching APIs to create a course for me, I had to make it into an app.

If you visit my website there are some free courses I generated for you to try out. Let me know what you think!
The idea is that, in a a test environment, we should not actually deliver the mails to the recipient, instead making them available on a web page (or through an API).
The thing that still puzzles me is how we determine which workload gets which capabilities.

On Plan 9, I took a lot of glee in rfork()ing my way into a tightly curated namespace that disallowed subsequent use of mount and bind, but that was a deliberate decision under the philosophy of the principle of least privilege. Is that the other half of what you're after?
And at 98 did your Grandfather lead a country? How about a company? Manage a store? A team of employees?

All these anecdotal superhuman tales fail the smell test.

There is this hyped longitudinal study, but it doesn't say what roles these "superagers" were in, only that they had slightly better cognitive outcomes than their peers.

No one has cognitive capacity or neuronal volume of a 35 year old at 65, not to speak of 95.

It is delusional to think anyone can escape the effects of aging at this point in time.

> If IP theft is okay for the country, it should be okay for its citizens too.

Hold up--by that logic, if a country has a military it should also be okay for its citizens to privately kill one another.

Or: "The government is allowed to print bills and mint coins that look just like the real thing, so why can't I?"
I guess Microsoft testing lacks fuzzing, then—as does Crowdstrike's.

This could change the world. Ultimately books and films do not ‘need’ translation. No more learning foreign languages. Travel to foreign countries and understand everything, talk with everybody.
right, and not doing that is about 70% of what object-capability security is all about. the other 30% is avoiding confused-deputy attacks

I learned a great deal by working through a bunch of haskell coding puzzles on codewars after only reading the first six chapters.

This helped a bunch with getting good at higher order functions and recursion.

I took a detour to lisp after and never looked back, but that's due to my type system preferences, you'll benefit from puzzles either way.

I'm building webpages since 1994, when I was 14 years old. Today, I'm a professional front-end dev of 20 years experience. I've grown bitter and resentful of all the modern garbage I have to deal with that has been invented by so called "experts". I officially request that instead all the web pages must now be designed by 7 year old girls who like animals.
Also, just because someone is famous/important/etc doesn't mean they're always right. In fact, one of the dangerous things about being famous is the people stop being willing to disagree with you and that can lead to becoming detached and warped as a person.
