there is no solution to this. If you want to do business in EU (for example, to be available in EU's Apple Appstore), you have to comply, otherwise Apple will be forced to kick you out, and if they don't, they will be harassed by the authorities until they do. If you want to do business in Saudi Arabia or Turkey or any other country you agree or disagree with, it's the same thing. If Turkey says something is "blasphemous" you either comply or withdraw from Turkey entirely. By now every government that cares has figured out how this works, and it really doesn't matter whether you "endorse" this or not, this is how it works.
I agree it’s bad for modern aircraft, but the Concord would be over 33 crashes per 3 million trips not 1. These numbers are just really low by any objective measurement except modern airline safety standards.

Driving 25 miles in the US is in 2022 was as dangerous on average vs a random 737 Max flight over its history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in... In 2022 the average car was driven 14,500 miles or ~600 flights worth of risk, but people still really worry about it.
The McDonnell Douglas takeover is where the shift started. Profit became the priority above quality. Straightforward. Explains most of it.

I am working on a simple image-hosting service. Imagine Imgur, but you can backlink. Additionally, you can resize, crop, and optimize images on the fly. Here's a sample PNG being served as WEBP[1] reduced from 1.5MB to 75KB (no visible reduction in quality, original image [2])

Not a sexy idea, of course. However, I couldn't find any solution that fit my needs for my SSG blog. Services like Cloudinary, and Imagekit are too developer-focused, and popular image sharing websites like Imgur don't allow backlinking.

CA high speed rail has taken 16 years so far with another 15 on the horizon, and that required 0 novel technology.
They all work, and a good cross-platform project setup forces you use exactly none of those. WSL/WSL2 in particular is the absolute worst in terms of "okay now use not your OS inside your OS". Just give your team a docker image then.
I didn’t mean to imply nothing could go wrong (and a lot does go wrong; I once watched a Windows PC freeze completely exactly at the time of DST shift!), but it does reduce the number of ways things can go wrong with non-defensive programming slightly.

Not doing the shift on a weekday or the last of the month alone has probably prevented countless bank batch jobs from exploding.
Find my is really a killer feature. When AirTags were first released, there was a bunch of media on potential use by stalkers and it seems like Apple hasn’t advertised how airtags (and findmy with devices) work at all since then. Most people think they just work locally until I show them an AirTag halfway around the world that just updated its location.

I bought one for my luggage, and when boarding a train in Paris, I was informed that I left my luggage behind. Went back to grab my luggage, boarded my train and then bought more AirTags at the first opportunity. I’ve used them multiple times to prove my lost luggage is in the airport, countless times to track shipping of high-value goods and countless times to find my keys.
That’s a cool idea, thank you for sharing. Yes, I want to tie conversations to specific locations in the text, but I love the idea of being able to set discussion questions as well. Will look into that.
This project had one goal: get a high visibility project out the door in order to secure a promotion.
This is exactly how I try to approach using it.

I recognize that its still a robot and you have to give it stoic, stern guidance to keep it on point.

Also, having a good understanding for the domain youre seeking to build understanding in, but with the augmentation of an AI assist that can formulate the Output of the thought in a more complete and packaged manner than one is able to do without leveraging AI as a tool. And as someone said "And its not going to get any worse, its only going to get better" I think people are really underestimating, and under-utilizing AI tools.

But they are terrifying when you consider just that - a divide between those who have/use AI and those who are subjugated by those who do.
How do you identify posts written by grok and what is the chance you’re completely wrong?
bruh. why did we need to involve llms?

Oh I'm well aware it's underutilized, it's simply what I had on hand. I love the idea of adding variations to the speed as well, maybe a future revision. I programmed and wired this together initially in a hotel room. I didn't put much thought into the esthetic, that needs work.
beguiling denial.
The comment I responded to basically said this verbatim. The russkies don't actually have any red lines, so just hit them. Now: Stalin didn't actually start a nuclear war (though he could have). These "civilized Europeans" who are pushing for escalation are therefore more evil than Stalin.
ICQ, until recently
Can they access the full RAM? Afaik they get capped to a portion of total available RAM.

But to your other point, very little of the current popular ML stack does more than CUDA and MPS. Some will do rocm but I don’t know if the AMD iGPUs are guaranteed to support it? There’s not much for Intel GPUs.
Hi，https://spotlight.thisux.com/ Bad gateway
Attacker purpose is perfectly aligned but defense may not align with tons of things like user convenience or ease of development
You're way over-estimating the "it only knows the training data" stuff to a very large degree. Ex. In the last 48 hours, Facebook also released a paper of it being excellent at RCA.

This is a well-tred argument, and it is much stronger when it holds itself to, especially in the short term, augmentation is likely, not wholesale delegation. It gets weak when it tries to couple that to asserting that "all it does" is lightly rephrasing training data. It's somewhat trivial to demonstrate this is false, even society as a whole has noticed that it's beyond a parrot, and it's worrying.
Nobody that I know of is doing this, and see no reason why it wouldn't be possible from a technical standpoint. I think the only reason I can imagine NOT to do is that the ROI probably isn't that high in reality. Now, granted, I don't watch the coin TikToks because 95% of it is clickbait, exaggerate, etc. But my actual impression is that there simply isn't that much actually-valuable material out there hiding in bank rolls (despite what TikTok says).

Most of the people I know who do bank roll hunting and doing it because it's just kinda fun and there's a thrill when you find a silver quarter from 1964 (worth about $5) hiding in a roll of otherwise-normal quarters. But so much of the good stuff has already been plucked from circulation.

Having said that, nothing should stop a good hacker from doing something just for the hell of it :)
Or maybe the people in French gov are not competent enough. They are the same people as all of us. There is zero special things about them. They just don’t like his “I’m not cooperating with governments” position.

In the West the one escalating? Yes. They defeated and humiliated their Cold War opponent, but wouldn't leave them alone.
> Why would you spend any of your finite attention here?

Because it is research. And it's an open research, unlike OpenAI or (for the most part) modern Google DeepMind or xAI.

It's completely fair game for non-researchers to ignore that, but even non-researchers benefit from a higher pace of developing understanding how to do this kind of magic.

Thank you people at Meta Research for this release!
Awesome -- thanks! Tell your son to join the Instagram coin community if he hasn't done it already - there are tons of kids & adults on there and it's a real community that meets up regularly at coin shows, etc. Send me an email and I can give you a heads-up on some starter accounts to follow and get involved.
Yes, but that purpose is accomplished by way of attacking the system. By comparison, most cyber security defense gets in the way of the purpose of the defenders. We know this, and even joke about it openly. The ultimate secure system is a computer unplugged, sealed in a lead vault, encased in concrete and buried a mile beneath the surface. It might not be useful, but it is completely secure.

Even less flippantly though, we inherently know this. How many things do we do every day that could be "more secure", but "more secure" gets in the way? Do you use memorize 256 character unique passwords for every site and system and refuse to record them even in a password manager? Do you use GPG encrypted emails and only E2E encrypted messaging services? Are all your home network devices independently fire walled, with strict in AND outbound rules ensuring they can only talk to the specific devices they should be able to talk to and only on specific well defined ports? Have you hardened your home network against data exfiltration via DNS queries? Is all network traffic fully encrypted with mutual client and server cert validations? If you've answered no to any of these questions, you have chosen to prioritize something else over better cyber security defense. And it's probably a good bet that at least some of that is because doing these things would actively get in the way of doing what you actually want to do with your electronic devices. You've knowingly chosen a weaker defensive stance to do something else instead.

Attackers on the other hand have no need to choose weaker attacks on your defenses in order to do something else instead. The attack is the point of their usage of their devices (and yours).

You might argue that the attacker might choose a lesser profile in order to remain hidden and beneath detection, but I would argue this still isn't the same choice. Given the option, no company would spend any time or money on resources for cyber defense. They would rather spend all that time and money on their actual business. But Attackers would spend time and money and resources on their attacks because those attacks directly serve their goals.
Ha! Love Shite!

> Nobody can fire the officially retired developer for doing this in 2024.

Hey! You’re right! Lovely idea.

I like the cut of your jib.
Getting old cars off the road meaningfully improved safety even if it didn’t do much for the environment.
My problem with KPIs and sales is that I've seen the people I work with actively make decisions that make the experience worse for our users because it increases the amount and/or value of sales we make, verified through A/B testing. Meanwhile ignoring or deprioritising legitimate issues because it can be very difficult to "prove" that it would increase KPIs.
The writing style. Looks like Grok normal mode. There's a big chance I am wrong. Hence the phrasing of my comment.
> assuming that it's all … implemented perfectly.

As long as this impossibility is achieved, we’re good!
Not sure why the downvotes? This is a sincere question.

did they implement the linux system call interface or come up with their own? how linux-compatible is it? it must be pretty complete if it can run firefox
>> Should people/businesses not try new things?

Well yes, in the right context, like hobby/personal programming. But things like "we built our own database" tend to be really hard to justify and mostly represent technical people playing toys when they actually have an obligation to the business that is spending the money to not play toys but to spend the money wisely and build a wise architecture, especially for business critical systems.

It's indulgent and irresponsible to do otherwise if standard technology will get you there. The other point is that there are few few applications in 2024 that would have data storage requirements that cannot be met by Postgres or some other common database and if not then perhaps the architecture should be changed to do things in a way that is compatible with existing data storage systems.

Databases in particular as the core of a business system have not only the get "put data in/get data out" requirement but hundreds of sub requirements that relate to deployment and operations and a million other things. You build a database for that core set/get requirement and before you know it you're wondering how to fulfill that vast array of other requirements.

This happens everywhere in corporate development that some CTO who has a personal like for some technology makes the business use that technology when in fact the business needs nothing more than ordinary technology, avoiding all sorts of issues such as recruiting. The CTO moves on, leaving behind the project built with the technology flavor of the month and a project that either needs to struggle to maintain it into the future, or the need to replace it with a more ordinary way of doing things. Likely even the CTO has now lost interest in their playtime technology fad that the industry toyed with and decided isn't a great idea.

So I stand by my comment - they are likely to replace this within a few years with something normal, likely Postgres.
A simple example: Prompt an LLM with a log message you don't understand and see if it helps you interpret it. In my experience, in many cases, it can.
I have been making YouTube videos about a project I built a couple of years ago. It took a while to find the time and the right approach to documenting it, but I'm finally happy with the results.

The first video is here: https://youtu.be/W0_3rzvq9Ks (the second is coming out tomorrow)

And it's on GitHub here: https://github.com/masto/LED-Marquee

I also recently left the Big Tech world after 11 years at Google, so I'm trying to figure out what comes next. (I don't think I can make professional YouTuber pay the bills). If it's not inappropriate to mention here, my resume is at https://hire.masto.me/
Oh! So the string itself is still on the heap? I assumed it was all on the stack.
I’m working on Cyphernetes [1] which is a new query language for working with the Kubernetes API with a focus on highly connected operations. It’s inspired by Neo4j’s Cypher and views Kubernetes as a connected graph of resources.

It allows querying multiple resource kinds via their relationships (i.e. replicaset owns pod, service exposes deployment…) and easily crafting custom response payloads.

Lately I’ve introduced aggregation functions and the ability to visualize query results using ascii art.

This is a daily driver for me and I’m now mostly focused around features that will make it a complete kubectl alternative.

Hey, good work. One small feedback, after logging in (from mobile) it took me to the profile section rather than listing problems. I was expecting it to redirect to the problems section. From there, it was tough to find the section. That displays problems.
God I miss adventure games. I played more hours of Sierra online than I could ever begin to count. Signed up and looking forward to updates!
Oh no, it doesn’t even run on your local machine if you don’t want it. It runs on VMs.
Underrated analogy

I don't know anyone who uses TG "secret chats". (I tried to convert one friend but then there was some buggy stuff that also lost us long chat history so we reverted)
It does seem that in retrospect, both campaigns will be seen as in effect having "marked time" -- by shifting the narratives, and forcing the respective occupiers to pause to notice (in a brutal and embarassing fashion) that the clock was ticking on their optional neocolonial projects.

Tet also had significant political impact, and forced Westmoreland to start reevaluating the cost (and manpower) needed to keep the ball rolling.

As to whether Kursk '24 will portend something similar for the Russian side - time will tell.
I'm pretty sure it is a Linux distro, if slightly unusual userspace.
Not at all. The attack is directly inline with the goal of getting to whatever is at the other end of the attack. By contrast, nothing about SSL certificates, forward secrecy, encryption at rest or authentication and access controls is inline with the goals of say Facebook to deliver as many cat pictures and political memes to you as possible, and as many eyeballs to advertisers as possible.

Or put another way, in a world with 0 cyber security attackers, there would be no money or time spent on cyber security defense. But in a world with 0 cyber security defenders, there would still be people attacking resources and taking things the owners would rather they not have.

With UBI and simstim soaps we can have people plug themselves into the Matrix voluntarily, no scary robotic creepers required!

And yes, addicts exist today, but we keep inventing better and better drugs. What would be available to a peasant? Crappy beer? Now a denizen of the SF underbelly can be permanently in an alternate universe thanks to fentanyl.

Have you noticed another trend? We keep making real experiences, real food, real exercise harder to obtain and more expensive while pushing cheap imitations on the masses. VR is not going to be a happy thing that will help disabled people. It will mostly be a source of worsening inequality and a lot of suffering. The "have-nots" will be able to vicariously live the lives of the "haves", but only a fake version.
I am working on a new type of NFTs.

I found a way to add code to NFTs. The simplest way to understand it is that it is similar to Adobe flash.

I know that NFTs are down, but I have invented a way to add actual utility. I call them xNFTS - executable non fungible tokens. Imagine the famous Ape or Penguin NFTs - by adding my technology, the NFTs can change images, play music, or play games without installing anything.

I got a patent on the process and they work on any blockchain- or even off. the market is down, but I am very excited about tying web2 with web3.

If anyone wants to join or learn more, let me know
Even more strange, Facebook a few years ago discontinued face tagging and deleted their database.
I set up both stable diffusion and LLMs on my desktop without Nvidia GPU. Everything goes well. Stable diffusion can run on onnx backend on my AMD GPU, and LLMs run through gguf format through ollama on CPU, model scale and speed are limited though.
I'm not aware of any Orwell short stories
It sounds like you want SQL to be more like a "real programming language", but I feel like there's a real chasm. SQL itself seems to be oriented towards "non-programmers" which is why it has declarative English syntax. But so many systems that interface with SQL databases are software systems written by programmers.

Why are our programming languages, which have rich ADTs, Boolean logic, etc. serialising queries into an English syntax written for ad-hoc business intelligence tasks? Why not have a binary query interface to the database that provides a programmatic, rather than human-readable, API?

The first time I got a "too many bind variables" error I was flabbergasted. All I wanted to do was insert a ton of rows into a table. But the database expects me to construct an English sentence containing a placeholder for each value of each row?
Where do I begin......Put the TI-84 (which looks like it came out in 1984) next to an iPhone. That's all that needs to be said.

It is deliberately neutered in so many ways. No querty keyboard, so typing on it is a non-stop horror. It's so hard to program on, to discourage you from cheating by programming it that you can't program on it. Without wanting to stab your eyes out so you don't have to look at it.

A calculator in 2024 should be magical door. A portal to the platonic paradise which is math. It should be AMAZEBALLS. Learning how it works should be like exploring a magical kingdom.

And it should grow with you and go with you. It should be a tool you can use in your professional career--holding all of your knowledge, codified in programs, every bit of math you've worked so hard to master--made instantly available to tackle any problem you face.

But NooooOOOOooooo. We just can't have nice things.
Telegram has an amazingly fresh UI/UX and interesting channels unlike the ad-ridden, antiquated, repulsive, greedy Facebook or Instagram that hammer you with "recommended posts" and ads until you turn blue in the face. But, ultimately it's just a form of entertainment, so it's ok for it to go. There are other messengers and will be other content platforms. Pavel is smart but somehow completely failed to realize that if your life and your multi-billion-dollar business depends on Europe, you need to shut up and do what they tell you, because you have a lot to lose.

It depends on the API used, whether the data is in the region considered "GPU memory" or whether it's shared with the compute API from the app's memory space. Support is somewhat in flux and I haven't been following closely but if you're curious this is my bookmarked jumping of point (a PyTorch ticket about this):
