You've totally missed the point.

No one advocated ignoring the vulnerability. I, myself, specifically stated that monitoring should be direct. Consumers should unilaterally decide where, when and how their assets are monitored.

The material point on security is that there are many, many methods of disrupting a power grid. Even when you are looking for plausible deniability, shutting down solar panels from cloud website doesn't make a list of your top 10 options. (In fact, it won't make the list in those scenarios precisely because you are looking for plausible deniability.)

Let's imagine a power grid as modern societies know them today, except all consumers monitor their solar panels themselves, and none of those consumers outsource this monitoring function to any third party foreign or domestic. Power grids can still be materially disrupted in this scenario. Especially in the case of total war. Obviously in the case of open war. And particularly in the case of cold war.

As I said, I advocate consumers disconnecting any power generation functions from networks. But if I'm in the seat coming up with post conflict, or even simply emergency recovery, operating assumptions, I'm not counting on those panels generating power. It's just irresponsible to do so. In total war EMP will knock most of that generation off line where you're luck enough not to have it eliminated entirely. In cold or open war, disruptions to distribution can and will render that generation useless. (Just ask Ukraine.)

Consumer cloud, or even personal, monitoring of solar panels does not enhance, nor does it degrade, your adversary's ability to disrupt your power grid when your adversary is at that super power level. If you believe it does, you're either not looking at the full spectrum of what you're calling "vulnerabilities" extant in the infrastructure of modern societies. Or you're underestimating the full spectrum of capabilities of modern military powers. Both, frankly, are fatal mistakes in the types of crises we're postulating.

First off, it's generally a good idea not to port-forward your own home router outside of defaults (Even if it's just 25565; I created a nightmare scenario for the ISP guy back at my parent's house when I was around 13 doing this).

There's tons of options to host servers in the cloud with near absolute control. I used to use a SaaS company called Minehut (https://app.minehut.com/) before I got into cloud computing and using AWS EC2 (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/gametech/setting-up-a-minecraft... - like $8/month).

If they're interested in learning the nitty-gritty on cloud computing and hosting (they probably do if they're already learning Curseforge), then get them into the AWS method. If you want something one-and-done, opt for Minehut.
Since I won't get a better chance to find knowledgeable people: How exactly does iPXE work? Lets say I want to boot a random old PC from one of these images - does the bios need to have iPXE support? Or PXE? Or does it need to first boot into some local system first, which then goes out and gets the image to boot the rest of the way from?

Then there's mention of DHCP and self hosting. Do I need to have some service running within my LAN first or can this go right out to some public server and boot from images there? How does DHCP factor in? I am in so far over my head on this but it seems interesting and something fun to try out.
This is like Ventoy? I'll give it a try for when I re-do a flash drive. Can I put windows tools on here as well for removing spy/malware etc to fix PCs? With Ventoy I just make a dir and I can select them when the OS boots, but still boot every ISO image at post

All the worrying about retirement, TC, etc., tolerating abuse.in the workplace, etc., were mechanisms hiding that it was totally fine to leave.

Something that helped me a lot along the way was seeing a comment on Blind from a 50-60 year old with 2M+ TC combined with his lawyer wife in Bay Area. They were getting divorced, and his message was tl;Dr man I was dumb. The part that hit hardest was him pointing out virtually any savings can be wiped away quickly by emergencies, there's not really a safe # once you're making tech bucks.

Before modern Starbucks popularized a hostile environment, it was common to work for half a day in a coffee shop.

They tended to be a lot bigger, have more and more comfortable furniture, and were fine if you quietly worked away and bought a coffee / snack every now and then.

But Starbucks ~05 to now is basically a microcosm of the ways America went awry.

I’d expect the opposite. All companies controlling equipment that is part of the “Bulk Electric System” have to be NERC CIP compliant and are audited regularly with large fines for non-compliance. Doesn't guarantee perfect (or even good security) but it’s more likely to be a priority.

The sheer amount of companies, media, influencers, heck even government agencies, acting otherwise? With billions of dollars on the line, there are many powerful forces pushing for people to have unrealistic expectations about LLMs (or "AI" as they call it).

A lot of money is being spent on trying to improve it too. But right now the emperor has very little clothes. It remains to be seen whether they have materialized by the time people open their eyes.
Yes as someone who works in geophysics and AI I see a lot of people promising a lot of things that no neural network will be able to do no matter how much attention it has because good data is actually what people need and they typically lack it. There's a ton of use cases across geophysics for AI, I'm even organising a conference at the end of September about this. But imo there's a bigger need for better data and better software tools first.

I certainly understand your caution. I don't have intimate expertise with the implementation of musttail in the backend -- when I implemented musttail in Clang, it was piggybacking on an existing attribute from the LLVM IR: https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#call-instruction

That said, my rough understanding is that a tail call ends the lifetime of all objects in the old stack frame. It follows that it is UB to access any objects from the previous stack frame after a tail call, and that would include Gerben's first example in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/72555

Running a server just to set the user agent header to the googlebot one for some requests feels a bit heavyweight.

But perhaps it’s necessary, as it seems Firefox no longer has an about:config option to override the user agent…am I missing it somewhere?

Edit: The about:config option general.useragent.override can be created and will be used for all requests (I just tested). I was confused because that config key doesn’t exist in a fresh install of Firefox. The user agent header string from this repo is: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/W.X.Y.Z Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

Not sure how this interview contradicts what I was saying. All good ol' monarchist Scruton is doing is using politically correct language to explain that he likes the traditional balance of power and that he wants to maintain it. (and funny, isn't it, that those people who are according to you not at all for maintaining the traditional balance of power where the bosses get the big slice of cake happens to often be pro-monarchy, the caricatural system that comes to mind when someone needs to think of a traditional balance of power where the bosses get the big slice of cake)

But also, there is a logical flaw. You are saying that some people are building their own definition because it is convenient for them, by 1) lying to themselves about the real reason of their choice (the left-wing person will pretend they act like that because it's "fair and good" instead of admitting it's because they like to think they are better than the others), 2) finding stuffs to paint people they don't like in a bad way.

If such people exist in the left, than such people exist in the right. But the question is: who are they, in the right? In his interview, Scruton mentions several times the left-wing people, always to explain how wrong they are, and explains how virtuous it is to be conservative.

Don't get me wrong, it does not mean that my understanding of conservatism is correct. But if you want to convince me, please provide someone who is not obviously so biased. Someone who, for example, does not do swooping generalization to put all of the left-wing people in the same negative bag. For example, someone who see the good and the bad in both left-wing and right-wing, not someone who his experience of the most censorious and oppressive society was Californian hippies while at the exact same time there were so much oppression with racism, strike repression, anti-gay, ... (don't get me wrong, the Californian hippies were bad, but, come on, a neutral person that would have been talking about oppressive society would have mentioned that the Californian hippies were maybe not as bad in the grand scheme of things as all the other oppression that existed at the time)
A system that can perfectly predict the most likely next word in any document would need to be intelligent. In order to predict what follows 'sqrt(n) =' for any n, you must either have an infinitely (aleph-one I think) large memory or a method of calculating sqrt(), for example. For any given intelligent operation, I'd expect there to be an associated word prediction task that can only be solved with infinite memory or the ability to perform the operation, though I'm open to counterexamples.

Of course, ChatGPT can't compute sqrt(). My point is that perfect word prediction does require intelligence and therefore being a word predictor does not, on its own, rule out being intelligent.

- fd: an improved find
Depends on what you need to do, at least without constructing a pipeline like it's 1990 (modern..), probably on your age, and how much you suck at typing. I have it installed as well, but most of the time still use find and not just in scripts which hopefully is a no-brainer. Some rather weird decisions went into that iteration, or call it taste if you prefer. Even the name is a joke honestly. But what in and out of Rust isn't. Re-inventing the wheel, ok. But then why not, err, also improve on it?

- hexyl: a better xxd
Like what?!

- ripgrep: a cornerstone of my workflow, an improved grep
No, it's a by default recursive grep which grep emphatically isn't, wasn't and never aimed to be. It has many, many more features, is bigger, newer, shinier and (yes) a bit slower. But that's ok, I use it too where it makes sense, as usual. An improved silversearcher, maybe that!

I'm barely using anything of the mentioned. But then I hate colors, and when I want to see nice pictures I'm off to the movies. At least your definition of modern is actually funny.

Ask HN: What VPN Are You Using and Why?
I'm in the market for a VPN, but the options out there are overwhelming! There are so many choices with various features, and I’m curious to know what VPNs this community trusts. What are you using, and why do you think it's the best? I'm looking for some real-world recommendations to help me make an informed decision. Thanks!
There are a bunch of different options to "bootstrap" iPXE in the first place. Least invasive is probably to boot it from a USB drive. You can also set up a traditional PXE boot process using DHCP/TFTP on your network to "chain-load" iPXE (if your client's network card supports PXE), or you can even flash iPXE into the boot ROM on certain network cards.

However you do it, once iPXE starts running, it will take control of the NIC and fetch the actual OS images that it needs from the internet over HTTP.
I'm going to throw out a guess of less than 0.01% GDP.
You can use netboot.xyz from a flash drive to boot various operating systems and utilities. Alternatively, PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) has been around for a while and works by allowing a network-capable device to boot from its network interface. A PXE-compatible network card requests a DHCP lease during the boot process, which provides the IP address of a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server and the file that needs to be loaded from the server.

Typically, the network card contains a basic PXE kernel. To enhance this environment, you can chainload iPXE, which offers a broader range of features. iPXE allows for more advanced booting options, such as loading scripts or initiating an unattended installation directly from the network.
But I don't especially want to switch text editor every 5 years!

Besides, the clock starts ticking from day 1, so if you want the full lifespan then you'll need to start using it while it's still half-baked and buggy and has no ecosystem to speak of. And that means you'll spend a lot of time using it when the goal of "better than what's currently available" remains firmly unrealized (for all that it may have some key item of interest that's caught your attention). Or you could start using it later, once things are properly going, and then I'd expect your experience would be a bit more like mine, before I finally bit the bullet in 2006 or whenever it was and sat down to teach myself how to actually use this Emacs thing, and you'll be finding yourself having to switch after more like 2-3 years.

Still, this is no immutable law of nature, as Visual Studio Code (9 years old) shows. And of course, Emacs and vim themselves - along with a number of other less famous FOSS options - would never have got this far if every editor automatically died off after year 5.

Nevertheless, my bet stands.
