Or Weis, CEO at Permit.io here.

For the last three years, we have all seen a huge spike in developers implementing fine-grained authorization. Whether they choose the Google Zanzibar implementation or the OPA/Cedar policy approach, it has become a fundamental security and product requirement.

While trying to provide the best developer experience of implementing FGA with Permit.io, we saw developers use our APIs to build the experiences for request access and approval flows over and over again. Hence, we decided to take it a step further and launch a new product on top of the Permit.io platform - Permit Share-If.

"Permit Share-if" is a suite of prebuilt, embeddable UI components. They provide fully functional access control and allow developers to create and embed custom interfaces such as user management, audit logs, access requests, operation approval flows, and more.

You've probably seen access-sharing components (E.g., Requesting to edit a document, viewing a widget in a dashboard, or submitting a wire transfer for approval) a million times before. Now, you can implement them with just a few lines of code, providing the best FGA experience for your users.

Give them a try! Would love to hear your thoughts on this new release!
Ask HN: What product management ideas and resources do you find useful?
Hey all, we have been building products for a long time. I'd describe the process as agile-ish, arriving it after realizing that we are always overbuilding in some areas and underbuilding in some. I say agile-ish because we do not stick rigidly with all its tenets. The context that is probably important is this is a small team where the product manager is reasonably technical and has intuitive understanding of feature difficulty and the team is fairly small. People who are/have been in similar situations, what helped move things faster, reduce slippage and blindspots. Thanks!
You think this country is like it was in 1963? Lol ok.
maybe access to libc functions can be achieved through something like <https://github.com/taviso/ctypes.sh>. Although that very specific implementation seems to require explicitly bash and is not broadly POSIX Shell compatible as Pnut wants to be.

I think all this discussion around Open-source AI is a total distraction from the elephants in the room. Let's list what you need to run/play around with something like Llama:

1. Software: this is all Pytorch/HF, so completely open-source. This is total parity between what corporates have and what the public has.

2. Model weights: Meta and a few other orgs release open models - as opposed to OpenAI's closed models. So, ok, we have something to work with.

3. Data: to actually do anything useful you need tons of data. This is beyond the reach of the ordinary man, setting aside the legality issues.

4. Hardware: GPUs, which are extremely expensive. Not just that, even if you have the top dollars, you have to go stand in a queue and wait for O(months), since mega-corporates have gotten there before you.

For Inference, you need 1,2 and 4. For training (or fine-tuning), you need all of these. With newer and larger models like the latest Llama, 4 is truly beyond the reach of ordinary entities.

This is NOTHING like open-source, where a random guy can edit/recompile/deploy software on a commodity computer. Wrt LLMs, Data/Hardware are in the equation, the playing field is complete stacked. This thread has a bunch of people discussing nuances of 1 and 2, but this bike-shedding only hides the basic point: Control of LLMs are for mega-corps, not for individuals.
- The number of ways data could be faked is frankly staggering
- Drafting is huge
- Since drafting is huge, to win you often have to just "unstick" the rider behind you from your wheel, then stay on his pace for the rest of the distance. So you only need a very short burst (10-15s of effort) where a few watts will make a great difference. That's hard to detect.
- In a climb, everybody will ride differently (different lines, levels of power) due to body shape, current objective, available draft, etc... You end up with insufficient data to reach the level of certainly that would be needed to accuse someone of motor doping

Overall, it's just simpler to just scan all the bikes.
No, it itself makes it.
My fiancée started learning it with a tutor about half a year ago for 4 hour per week and she's already making very good progress and is able to have short conversations, don't get discouraged! It's just a language like any other.

> The most infuriating thing is when they say that diabetics just die in surgeries, but forget to mention that often the reason is medical negligence.

I find that a lot of medical research literature is like this. A couple of "X is associated with increased mortality" papers that make no attempt at a causal analysis is enough to get doctors to recommend against X.

As far as I can tell, the organizations that make these recommendations don't want to run the risk that maybe the relationship is causal, and moreover don't know all the mediating/moderating factors and so can't safely recommend something that is associated with harming people even if they realize it's not necessarily causal.

The inverse is true for positive outcomes. Y is associated with lower mortality, so we recommend Y, even though we don't understand if it's causal or not. But we do not recommend Z which is closely similar to Y and, if there is a causal connection would share a common causal pathway with the Y benefit, because we have only studied Y and not Z.

It's a weird kind of extreme causal reasoning that ironically leads to a kind of abandonment of causal reasoning.

The DoE subsidized the development of GPUs, but so did Bitcoin.

But before that, it was video games, like quake. Nvidia wouldn't be viable if not for games.

There are very big misconceptions about keto (ketoacidosis, too much protein, high fat is bad, cholesterol bad, etc) and many doctors don't mention it at all.

I'm a T1D and I mostly agree with the author. I think this simulation is very interesting.

I disagree with the author however on the following point:

"injecting insulin ~15min before you start eating would do wonders for neutralizing the BG spike, the issue is, nobody does it, because what if you then get a smaller serving at the restaurant or it gets delayed?"

My doc told me the same, which I think is insane. "Here is a hack that solves 80% of your problems but nobody does it, so don't bother." WTF?

If you get a smaller serving, order some bread or eat some of your emergency snacks you should always have. If it gets delayed, do the same. You don't need to cover the whole insulin dose, just delay the hypo a little bit.

Relax. We live in an industrial world where glucose bombs are available always and everywhere. You'll be fine.

Injecting 15mins beforehand has made my life so much easier that I would not miss it for anything.

Feel free to ask me anything.
And how again did organized crime become resurgent in Sweden? Was it not driven by scores of unemployed immigrant youth finding an outlet for their skills, coupled with a relaxed policing culture that was developed in good times?

We're not talking about closing down borders here. We're talking about strongly monitoring the kind of migrants you bring in. The UAE and Singapore are both heavily migrant driven populations, yet don't see this resurgence of crime that we see only in Europe, because they actually preselect their visitors and residents.

As it stands now, it is tougher for me as an affluent non-European to migrate to Sweden, or any other European country (except Switzerland apparently, where I'm at now) for the long term, than it is for me to settle in the UAE or Singapore. It is tougher for my highly skilled friends in tech who want to move to Europe, so they've chosen to move to Singapore instead. On the other hand, both the UAE and Singapore are making it much harder for low-skilled migrants to get in, while they find it much easier to go and settle in Europe. And they are, in hordes.

Very edgy.

I am a shareholder in dozens of companies. I have zero oversight on how things are managed. The only thing I can do is sell my paltry amount of shares if I think things are not going well there.

Shareholders would be punished in this case in the sense that crippling fines and reparations that Crowdstrike should definitely be liable to pay would decimate the stock value.

And if criminal charges were to be pressed, then the people actually in charge of the company should be on the hook. For example, if someone dies because CS was horribly negligent in their duties, then that should be a possibility.

> But the agent is probably annoyed because it takes longer for them, you, and everyone in line.

The agent has probably been trained by law enforcement in "compliance tactics": shame, cajole, embarrass, and intimidate the person who's refusing to do what you demand of them so that they do what you demand.

The agent could have done what agents in more-civilized countries consider to be their job and continued to process the returning citizen as they were entitled to be processed. He chose -instead- to delay the returning citizen and everyone else by throwing a coercive tantrum.

Fellow T1D here. Switched to a pump (tslim) 2 years ago, which is a stock/market semi-closed loop requiring no homebrew when paired with Dexcom.

Works pretty well in that it keeps things in range when not eating/exercising. Nights in particular now are chill, no more waking up in sweat.

Unfortunately the pump vibrates/alarms far too much, causing notification fatigue. I don't even look at them anymore. I wish there was more information in the vibration pattern: just morse code or something, so I can know what the pump is saying without having to do 3 taps to unlock and see whether it's just telling me something I know already. I wish the developers had to dog feed their product.
I also work on a legacy Ruby/Rails codebase, what I dislike is Ruby as a dynamic language, I'd prefer typed languages, but overall Rails didn't changed too much in the last 14 years that I know it (I didn't used too much in the past), but the concept is still the same to this day, few changes to the API/syntax, but otherwise if you know Rails, if you know Rails, it is most likely that you find very easy to work on any Rails app.
> Do you have some resources for optimizing a N_51 x N_51 x N_51 x N_51 -> R+ unknown black-box function?

Maybe Bayesian optimization? That's often how hyperparameter optimization is done in machine learning, but that has the additional constraint that each computation of the loss function is very expensive.

In general the term "black-box optimization" is the right search term, or "derivative-free optimization" which is what Wikipedia calls it.
That's an interesting angle, but the usual concern about this is lobbying/pork barrel/corruption and of course, regulatory capture, especially for SpaceX.

In an ideal world, what you're saying makes sense, but at least to give an example, for an Android phone, you have to persuade 500 million people to buy it. For SpaceX to get a multi billion dollar contract with the government you only have to persuade 10 people.
CrowdStrike is one of the products that no one wants or choses. It's a product that's forced down the throat of a business because of compliance. Hence the company has zero incentive to invest into actual security.
I think the problem with DR in this case is you will need to account for every eventuality of every line of code in every sw product you use. Because say, how do you handle the case that your fleet BSODd? Usually you'd rebuild them using your bitlocker keys.

But this incident was so deep, that the SPOF here was using Windows. So now, your DR plan needs to account for some mandatory percentage of your OSs not being Windows, and your IT staff being maybe Linux experts. Cool.

But can you predict that you need to store your bitlocker keys in both platforms? And can you even do that or is it one of those things where bitlocker storage has to be on windows bc of lockin?

I love things like these because they shake our perception of normal loose. And who said our perception of normal doesn't deserve a good shake?

A C to shell compiler might seem impractical, but you know what is even more impractical? Having a separate language for a build system. And yet, here we are. Using Shell, Make or CMake to build a C program is only acceptable because is has always been so. It's a "perceived normality" in the C world.

There is no good reason, however, CMake isn't a C library. With build system being a library, we could write, read, and, most importantly, debug build scripts just like any other part of the buildable. We already have includeOS, why not includeMake?

Linux had a few different containerisation technologies before Docker blew up. But even they felt like a step backwards from Jails and Zones.

Personally I think its more fair to say that Linux was behind the times because containerisation and virtualisation were common concepts in UNIXes long before they became Linux staples.

You can think about it for the past 10 years but since your thinking is reactionary to the incumbent government (who had a propensity for random decisions!), you might as well have the most basic of plans until you've got a chance to sit down and ponder without interference.
They don't pretend they understand everything though, just as we do not "understand" everything about LLMs even though we know they run on electronic computer systems; some properties are simply emergent via structure, and the same properties can emerge via biological computers too, but again, to notice that fact does not mean we "pretend to understand."

Singapore hasn't managed it, even in a ridiculously small land area with extremely aggressive laws against drugs they are seeing an increase in usage by youth.

It simply does not work to fight it aggressively. Junkies on the street can be managed but probably not eradicated in the next few decades, the issues the USA sees with drugs are extreme, and the root cause is usually much deeper than the drugs themselves. A lot of other developed countries have managed to help their drug addicted homeless population, the USA seems to be on a downward spiral on that front for decades...

Attacking the surface of the problem is a game of whack-a-mole, a Sisyphean task that won't ever come close to solving the actual problem.
Not first hand, though I've used tools of similar intent and found the quick heuristics, while usually very good, not 100% reliable, and for storage I want to be sure not almost certain.

Note that I was warning about quick tests, I'll have to try “f3probe --destructive” on something next time I have some playtime to see whether I'd consider that quick! Of course, it could be much quicker than the full capacity write some tools use to find a defective or deceptive drive¹² but quicker and quick aren't the same.

If a quick test says the drive is fake then it is, and many fakes can be detected these ways, but it takes more to convincingly state a drive isn't fake.

[1] Only a little over true capacity should be needed for that, in the case where writes to anywhere up to capacity will work (which is common as creating a filesystem more complex than FAT/exFat often requires activity similar to what quick write/read heuristics do).

Indeed, insulin sensitivity varies so based on amount of movement during day, stress, hormones, allergies, slight cold, etc that the rigid algorithmic approach they teach patients doesn't work in practice. I.e. you can follow what you're taught by diabetic nurse and you'll have bad control nonetheless.

What's the model she uses? My guess would be tslim+Dexcom? It does reduce stress a lot.
