The point of the guideline is that accusing people of commenting in bad faith --- another guideline here --- makes for bad, boring conversation. What's worse, the comment you responded to made a bad argument that I think is easy to knock down on its merits, and by writing like this you weakened those rebuttals. Don't write like this here.

I think the time taken has less to do with the size of the rewrite and more to do with highlighting Microsoft's level of interest (from a business perspective, not an ideological one) in working on the control panel. E.g. in the same time period Microsoft has migrated and rewritten their enterprise chat platform multiple times across different architectures, frontends, and backends. That's not a point that large rewrites always only take a couple of years, it's a point that they were really interested in evolving their enterprise chat offering.
Ask HN: Linux-Compat Hardware for Self-Hosted AI Models & gen advice
Hello,
I'm trying to enter the realm of self-hosted AI (maybe, eg llama3.1-8B) and would appreciate suggestions on both recommended 'budget minimum' hardware and specific Linux distros if any. For hardware, I'm assuming at least 16-32 GB ram, but years ago when I first entered Linux, there were lots of issues with non-intel cpu/gpus, so I want to make the best decision here, and avoid unnecessary upgrades too.

Considerations:

I will not be generating or working with images. If this changes, I'll use an remote service.

I will eventually want to train a model or optimize/tailor it towards my needs, which are not yet set, but have been mostly research and code generation.

I'm about as ignorant on the general subject as your average grandma and my python is withered and was feeble at its best. Also, while not necessarily a big deal, the necessity of using pip is slightly awkward in Debian, requiring the use of venv. Is this standard, or are there distros optimized for easier integration of repos and Python?

My aim here is not development, as that is legitimately beyond my potential. Rather, I hope to eventually become reasonably surface-knowledgeable on the subject and formidable as a user. Recommended resources for proceeding from the very beginning, as a grandma, would be helpful. My comfort level in Linux is pretty high, but I gave up on understanding the inner workings when systemd was introduced and have become a bit of a thug, just bullying my way around and making things work often without any deep understanding. That's basically where I am. For anyone that does reply, feel free to mention anything you think relevant, eg misconceptions exhibited by my text here, or whatever.

Thanks, if applicable.

Interesting idea. I'm not very well-versed in training models or LLMs or even Jupyter Notebooks, but the comment about port forwarding SSH caught my eye since I work on a free, open source zero-trust overlay network (OpenZiti). I tried to find some information about moonglow under the hood / how it worked but didn't succeed.

If you're interested, you might find embedding OpenZiti into Moonglow a pretty compelling alternative to port forwarding and it might open even crazier ideas once your connectivitiy is embedded into the app. You can find the cheapest compute for people and just connect them to that cheapest compute using your extension... Might be interesting? Anyway, I'd be happy to discuss some time if that sounds neat... Until then, good luck with your launch!
This is the root of the problem.

Take the whole "saturated fat is unhealthy" thing.

Here's what happened:

Study finds that unsaturated fat is healthier than saturated fat, but all fat is associated with lower mortality vs carbs.

Repeated as "unsaturated fat is healther than saturated fat".

Repeated as "saturated fat is unhealthy".

This conclusion isn't supported by any research compared to carbs(!).

Same-calorie diet of high fat is healthier than one based on carbs. But we are often taught otherwise.

The saturated fat is bad (wrong) consensus is reached like a game of telephone.
It’s a problem when every town/municipality thinks like this, and then larger state- wide governments are faced with the dilemma of an angry voting population tired of high housing costs.

You can either get ahead of a state-wide solution and implement something where you have some control that works for your community, or you can do nothing and wait for the state government to begin to remove zoning from local control.

You don’t enjoy the modern white space heavy configuration to be split almost multiple pages? Win10, I have to scroll to see the entire sound options on a single non-exhaustive page given the comically low information density.

The new pages seem designed by someone who only knew how to build a vertical layout and just stacked all controls without a care for the user. I am also amused how the modern window takes a good second plus to paint.
yeah I am pretty sure no cloud provider thinks people who can willing to spend small money. but guess what? if one of my projects start earning money, then I will continue to what I know best :) I think that's why every cloud provider still has configs for couple of $
Does that run with your GPU in the way this service offers?
Thanks for the feedback and pointing out ostiary. Fixing replay attacks is on my todo list, maybe I can learn some things from how ostiary does it.

Kind advice from my PoV:

Your comment could be read as "your project is shit, there is ostiary which has replay protection and yours doesn't".

I'm sure you didn't intend for you comment to not come across that way, and I also did not read it that way, but others could have.

Also keep in mind that ruroco is a very young project and is by no means finished. I was thinking about using one-time-pads or other encryption algorithms as well. I also posted this here to get feedback to improve my project.

So hopefully when I release version 1.0.0 all the issues that this project has atpit are resolved ;)
IANAL, but I am not sure that RealPage is actually violating the first two sections of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. It definitely seems RealPage may be assisting in organizing price-fixing, and the word 'contract' in section one may get them in trouble, but they do not seem to be doing it "in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations", as rent is local, and I'm not sure that their contract with clients actually forces the clients to accept 'recommended rents'.

90% is actually quite healthy. If all housing was always full, there is no slack in the system. We should always have some overcapacity in the housing market, just like we do for hospital beds, food, water, etc. If you're always buying the last loaf of bread at the grocery store, that means others don't get bread when they want to buy it.
I promise, you are not the first person to have thought of this, and, believe it or not, there are reasons other than malice and avarice that cloud providers don't terminate service based on billing caps. Terminating service is a big deal.

We agree completely about surprise billing.
Yes the people setting guidelines based on non-reproducible or unreproduced studies should be held accountable. But they are part of the same power structure that makes laws, so don't hold your breath.

Literally anybody can write bullshit and anybody with some cash or connections can get it published, deciding to make it a medical guideline because the text and it's metadata looks a certain way is basically as competent as just using ChatGPT.
I agree with you on this one case. But this was after years of him letting criminals go. This case was in the run up to the recall in which he was removed from office by SF voters for being too soft on crime.

Landlord is about luck of the tenants. A bad tenant will destroy your property costing you a lot of money. A bad tenant will not pay thus forcing you to have your property earning nothing for months until you can legally evict them. If you don't have enough tenants you lose money because you still have to pay your costs (the bank for your loan, maintenance...).

You can make a lot of money but it isn't easy money. (particularly in the early years, once you have the property paid for it is much easier)
Or buy an old pc and go with it haha
"residential proxy"

providing such a service (-network) is a popular monetization option for all kinds of useless crapware. this is very useful, but even more shady than regular vpn providers.
The problem with these is that bugdoors require you to target way more valuable stuff compared to backdoors. With a backdoor you can target practically any library or binary that is being run with root privileges, while with a bugdoor you can only really target code that is directly interacting with a network connection.

Direct network facing code is much more likely to have stringent testing and code review for all changes, so as of now it seems a bit easier to target codebases with very little support and maintenance compared to an attack that would target higher value code like OpenSSH or zlib.
Feedback on this 1-credit React course I'm teaching this semester?
I'm a final-semester computer science major in the USA. I'd love your feedback and advice on this 1-credit class that I'm teaching on React JS.

https://imgur.com/a/intro-to-react-1-credit-course-syllabus-fall-2024-KT98p0V

I'm teaching and managing this course all by myself. I'm doing it primarily for the resume boost (to get a job and failing that get into a decent cs master's program). Secondarily for the intrinsic benefits of teaching.

It meets once a week for 50 minutes until December and it's just 1 credit so it can't be too intensive either.

After college I would like to get a SWE job, so I'm trying to show companies that I know React really well (job applications), and I'm trying to make myself employable and in-demand.

If I can't get a good enough job, I'm planning on going for master's. Then this course should show that I can teach technical material (master's degree applications).

I'm also doing this course to force myself to properly learn React well enough to teach it.

- Any advice on the syllabus, especially the content and how I can improve it to reflect current industry practices?

- Advice on specific things I should do before, during, and after the semester to make this experience worthwhile from a resume and job, masters' application point of view?

I would appreciate any and all advice you could give me. Thank you.
> that the crimes of the parents are not the crimes of the child

Yeah, this is some more idealistic nonsense. Children should obviously not be criminally persecuted for being the child of evil people but being the child of and raised by terrorists (and other evil people) should automatically disqualify you from certain jobs.

Given Chesa Boudin's actual track record and the fact he was recalled I think history proves my point.

> I think it's kinda funny that you'd make that claim in a thread about policing actual crime.

Why do you think it's funny? Chesa Boudin is directly responsible for the lack of policing due to his refusal to enforce the law as DA. Do you not know why he was recalled?
This seems especially peculiar given Windows has a 64K mapping granularity.

It assumes you know which one was first, the chicken or the egg.

One option is that the author found/got a referral deal with an alternative provider, so thought they could write this article complaining about a competitor.

Or... They were so pissed with Chase due to this nightmare they had to go through, they looked for alternatives, found something, so they mentioned it in the post.

Disregarding is fine as you don't know if they are honest, at the same time I wouldn't attribute evil intentions either.

It's like when a native iOS developer says the best apps are truly native. It could be that they tell you that so that you hire them and their niche stays strong... or they really believe it and that's why they are iOS developers.

It removes the bank from the equation. The point here being that you keep some of your funds in Bitcoin so that, in the event you have to deal with something like this, you can still find a means to get people paid.

Long-term, if everyone does larger transactions in Bitcoin (e.g., payroll, invoice payments, etc), then problems like this never occur.
Could they upstream that or would that require a fork?

Chase really has the worst phone customer service. I foolishly used one of their 0% interest promos to buy some hardware and when I was charged interest anyway due to their screwup in how my payment was applied he told me:

> “since you have enough money in your account to pay this off I don’t know why you are using this plan at all. These are intended for low income customers”

and did nothing to solve the problem.
Start by putting a heavy-duty "Roadkill Tax" on those vehicles where the driver couldn't possibly see a pedestrian 'till his body showed up in the rear view mirror. It shouldn't be too hard to pack a few congressional committee meetings with families of their victims, to help get that passed.
The trend was to begin to use distributed software in computing clusters that allowed lower cost with commodity machines with lower individual reliability.

Now the focus is on cost-efficient machines in clusters, which is why we have the specialization.
Thanks, this makes sense, TS type narrowing only works with information known at compile-time (even when using runtime constructs for type narrowing).

So I will go on to imagine duck-typing as the classic JS way where functions started with often pretty extensive runtime checks of their parameter values.

I guess this also means that duck-typing is inherently tied to checking primitive types and/or object structures, return values etc at runtime.

A browser addon that takes one's password manager export & deletes every account, possibly after scraping the data, would be amazing. No one has done it and it can be done such that the system will eventually safely delete every account of every site (e.g using developers tools, accessability options, being intended to only be used in fresh browser install, sourcing information from volunteers). You'd have a sheet tracking the process, e.g. verification pending, manual intervention pending, deleted, waiting states. Many humans have hundreds of accounts they no longer use and this sort of tool could thus be a good Y-combinator or hobby project.
I want to suggest to OWA adding a new recommendation that is to lets users set an 'Always ask' setting when opening links.

For Windows, I use this "browser" app as my default browser. Its main function is to show a list of installed browsers (including customizable options) whenever a link is opened from another app, allowing you to choose which browser to use. It's great!

> You _can_ export books in epub format from InDesign but the process for getting a clean ebook is difficult to say the least since InDesign was primarily designed for print publications.

I wonder if that's why so many, and even relatively new, ePubs feel a lot like poorly OCRed PDFs?

It generally seems like most publishers and I have opposite goals when it comes to ePubs: They want them to look and feel as much like the physical book as possible (by including custom fonts, applying custom margins/padding etc.), while I want absolutely none of that.

It's frustrating having to fight the publisher to get something readable on a small display or non-Kindle ePub reader, and I don't even want to get started on dark mode...
UUIDv7: The Time-Sortable Identifier for Modern Databases
Every company knows this, the problem is that you can’t fit the compute you need for AR/VR + AI into a form factor like this, at least not right now.
For me it boils down to the reduction of jobs, pay and displacement of workers. Industry is already over saturated and the evolution of automation has sped up greatly. This type of automation goes hand in hand with displacement. I don’t foresee some great enlightenment at the end of the tunnel here, I see the end of development as it looks today. And I don’t think it will have any resemblance of the past.
They should first fix their search. The new settings are overwhelming and I end up having so many clicks when I need something like adding Hyper-V or add a Bluetooth device.

Then, there’s the Windows search. If you ever tried using Settings and search. Most of the time you end up getting Edge opened with an outdated link or unhelpful Bing search.

I just hope they won’t axe it until figuring out how they make decent settings.
I think what rmholt means is that ruroco does not improve security in the sense, that it has stronger and safer encryption/algorithms/... but that it merely "hides" existing services.

I would argue that it does improve security in the way that it reduces the attack surface of potential vulnerable services, because they are simply not accessible for adversaries.

On the other hand, having another tool running increases the attack surface, but imho that's very small.
> it's only good for the python versions themselves

Versioning Python isn't hard. pyenv, asdf, mise, now uv... I honestly don't see what Nix brings to the Python ecosystem. I can see using it to version Python if you already use it, but that's it.
Has Windows gotten really slow in the last year or something?

I'm using a 2018 Asus with an i5 and Intel graphics, and it handles everything except heavy gaming (It's perfectly fine for indie and retro).

I would try to find hard data on reliability. Which brands and models are reliable seems to change every year, so I can't actually recommend anything.

I think I would probably also try to find something with some ability to run existing ready to go AI models, since so many are NVIDIA only. Local LLM performance is probably going to be a big help for coding.

I would probably also look for USB-C power even at the expense of performance, now that so many power banks can run laptops.
The only thing in cloud that's worse than a surprise bill is a surprise outage.
Solana is centralized. The network should never go offline/have outages or be vulnerable to bad actors. At best, Bitcoin has the 51% attack problem which would require insane resources and convincing node operators to follow a fork of the network.
We think all the time about people starting small projects here. I think a really good line to draw, if you want to understand how we think about this stuff, is between people who would be OK with us terminating their service because they mispredicted what their cap should be, and people who need their stuff to stay up and running and will just talk to support if they're concerned about billing. A shorter way to say this is that we making product pricing decisions for people who are doing this work professionally.
and it is in their hn profile
That's fair. The wording of your comment (heavily, honestly) implies setting SF's policies nationwide, but rereading I can see how it can be read the other way.

You're correct, "Set a consistent set of price controls across the entire nation" is a much better wording.

> But... don't the control panel windows have more functionality (and usability) in practice?

Not only that but many pieces of the Fisher Price Settings interface still redirect to the Control Panel to get you whatever setting you're after that isn't supported.

Hopefully this means they actually completed porting it all over, rather than just destroying huge swathes of functionality. Given Microsoft's track record... 60/40.
That defeats the purpose of port knocking. If you know which IP connections comes from and you trust it - just allow connections in firewall. Port knocking is for temporary allowing certain incoming IPs.
