It seems like there are two ways of using Jupyter with Modal. One is adding Modal decorators to specific functions within a notebook, and for that use case, I think Modal is fantastic (if you are using GPUs on a function-by-function basis)!

On the other hand, if you are trying to run an entire notebook on a remote machine by starting a Jupyter server with Modal, then the workflow with Modal is not that different from other clouds (e.g. you can start an EC2 instance and run a Jupyter server there). For that, Moonglow still makes it easier by letting you stay in your IDE and avoid juggling Jupyter server URLs.

Also, you might need to use a specific cloud e.g. if you have cloud credits, sensitive data that needs to stay on that cloud or just expensive egress fees. One of Moonglow's strengths is that you can do your work in that cloud, rather than having to move stuff around.
In the case of historic, herb, etc., it's the other way round.
A potential side project I keep coming back is reimplementing the dedicated server for an old game like this. Even years ago when the games were popular, I often found the DS challenging to run.

It only takes a single visit to an old house built around the turn of century to realize that the artistry, craftsmanship, and all of the other skills needed to make such a thing today are incredibly rare.

Everyone seems to think and say that they want some for of AI to arrive and free us from all that grind that is beneath us.

My limited understanding is that the interstate commerce clause significantly prevents this. States cannot regulate interstate commerce.
There's also interesting projects for serverside scaling of vega plots - https://github.com/vega/vegafusion
Even with the best intentions, can a volunteer-driven project like OpenSSH truly guarantee the same level of security as a commercial solution with dedicated resources and a financial stake in preventing backdoors?
Scientific fraud or medical fraud? Are we tarring all of science because of fraud in one sub-field (medicione)? How about social science fraud, where poor economic policies can cause millions to starve?

Before I get pilloried for whataboutism, all I'm trying to illustrate is that the title is a hyberbole. Fraud in medical research is definitely a problem leading to serious consequences for patients everywhere. Let's just call it what it is.
The choice is upstream. You choose what to focus on, which gives standing orders to your brain, which eventually leads to eureka moments.

If you choose to focus entirely on baking you'll have eureka moments about that.
Congrats on launching. How does it compare to Google colab?

Does silicone not contain plasticizers?
I imagine what is impossible at Valve is keeping people working on projects that the employees have lost interest in. I suspect this is what is happening in CS2. As a player, I can feel the lack of interest in the well-being of the game, the lack of skilled talent working on the fundamentals. Even though this game has made Valve more money than any other game on its platform, they just don't support it enough probably because it just doesn't excite the employees much anymore.

I'd love to see the data on this. Usually when you increase construction costs, via additional regulation, you're going to increase the price of rent/sale.

What expert thinks increasing costs will lower prices?

(really they do one thing and it's this. They practically have a corner on the “aftermarket hotswap drive bay accessory” market, and they have more variations than anyone can imagine :V )

Honestly I would love to try the "hotswap M.2 bay" or "hotswap U.2 bay" things, but it really does drive home how uneven the NVMe future is. Consumers get maybe two NVMes on their motherboard, meanwhile you need 16 pcie lanes to drive a 4-bay hotswap thing. We live in a society where a 1-socket server might have 24 nvme bays attached to it and yet consumers can't even populate an addon bay for their gamer case. (bottom text)

really does drive home the lack of pcie lanes on consumer stuff (given how much pcie continues to be the defacto standard for high-speed expansion) and the death of the "workstation"/"HEDT" segment as being a relatively accessible thing. Nowadays there are client machines and servers, and precious little in-between. You almost might as well just buy an Epyc (ROMED8-2T looks really nice) or just buy a used server as a backend/fileserver/NAS.
Devs here often don’t even really understand JWT tokens as evidenced by the hundreds-of-comments deep arguments I’ve witnessed over them.
Trust me, we’re sick and tired of being the world police but the reality is that no one else can do it and the alternative apparently is letting every murderous autocrat and tin-pot dictator run amok.
I have done a little more reading and it appears that one fundamental difference between InstantDB and ElectricSQL is that InstantDB does not sync with standard PostgreSQL tables. ElectricSQL does.

If that understanding is correct, then InstantDB may be a good fit if you are starting your database from scratch or can completely get rid of your existing one.

I have more than 170GBs of data in a SQL database. I can sync parts of it to ElectricSQL using shaped queries.
You run a business without a lawyer? Ballsy!
I was thinking about doing this to multiple different servers and thought they could all share the same vpn network address for simpler configuration but now that I think about it doing that might run into constant server-key-changed warnings from SSH.
yeah it was hard to fit in my travel schedule, i totally agree it was a terrible experience losing contact and starting over with many people
Better.

Imagine a closed source company with cost pressures employing a random developer who can commit code, perhaps without any peer review, but certainly limited peer review from harried employees.

Now imagine why a nation state would want to get staff working in such a company.

Now if companies like
Microsoft or Amazon or Google want to pay people to work on these open source projects that’s a different thing, and a great thing for them to do given how much they rely on the code.
> Regarding some of 2014's largest global open source software vulnerabilities, he says, "In these cases, the eyeballs weren't really looking".

This makes a lot of sense, because for the most part, you only go looking for bugs when you've run into a problem.

Looking for bugs you haven't run into is a lot harder (especially in complex software like OpenSSL), you might get lucky and someone sees a bug while looking for something else, but mostly things go unlooked at until they cause a problem that attracts attention.

Even when you pay for a professional audit, things can be missed; but you'll likely get better results for security with organized and focused reviews than by hoping your user base finds everything.

I think the better implication is that the vast majority of apartment owners don't bother paying for pricing software.

It's worth pointing out that third-party tools like 6Sense assess RealPage's customer base as much, much lower (around 6000 paying customers).
How can a commercial solution prevent backdoors?

A sensitive product like this would have to defend against well funded, patient, well resourced threats, including but not limited to infiltrating an organzation in order to plant code that only a few people may even be able to notice.
The social sciences also have a much more limited ability to perform controlled experiments because of ethical reasons, which cannot be resolved with more money.

So much of the studies published in these fields are observational rather than controlled experiments. Physics (and chemistry, to a lesser extent biology, and medicine lesser still) has an advantage in that it's exploring the parts of the universe where controlled experiments are possible.

I don't think it's all about resources, and I think the social sciences are less resourced in part because grant-making bodies know that these fields suffer from these intrinsic limitations.
You appear to be making an incorrect assumption that price controls must be so onerous that they will result in zero new housing being built.
TL;DR:

Why prioritize “browser choice” over “full experience choice”? The answer is obvious if you're an ad company browser harvesting users to sell.

Paradoxically, forcing browser choice across the whole market will reduce choice, and Google knows it.

. . .

A handheld appliance recommendation that says this:

The user’s choice of default browser must be used for In-App Browsing (SFSafariViewController)

Currently most In-App browsing on iOS is locked to Safari which provides Apple a very significant advantage and a lot of traffic. It is critical for browser choice that if a user decides on a particular browser, that browser is then used for web browsing by default across the OS including in In-App Browsers.

... is developer hostile, security hostile, and ultimately user hostile.

A key benefit of developing native apps for iOS is that you no longer have to develop for the wild west. The lack of fragmentation (browser engines, OS flavors, UIs, hardware...) is what lets you, the developer, build once and trust that it’ll work everywhere—rip that away, and you're throwing your users into a fragmented, glitch-ridden mess. Consistency is stress-relieving for the user, and the expectation that app store apps will behave differently inside themselves doesn't fit anyone's mental model of how apps work.

Even billion-dollar banks can't (or won't) untangle the extra care needed for making Firefox or Safari work with their systems on a PC. So why on earth would we expect, or want, indie devs to battle with arbitrary web engines inside their native apps? No developer wants users yelling at them because OIDC flow, embedded maps, or any other in-app webview doesn’t work in the developer's app just because the user clicked "accept" on a browser-swap ad. Billion dollar bank, or indie dev, the easy way out will be a Get Chrome button.

Most of today’s new programmers weren’t even alive for the Internet Explorer hegemony, so they can’t be blamed for not grokking the decay that sets in when a single engine dominates. But when the last defense against “Chromium Everywhere” is bulldozed by those who can’t stand the thought of consumers choosing a product that just works, we're all worse off no matter our device, OS, or, yes, browser of choice.

The inevitable single choice across the entire device market and app ecosystem is no choice at all.
So you’re just insulting everyone now?
So the user could keep working on a plane, when cable, or electricity is out, etc. Wants to experiment without inflicting changes on others, like dvcs.
The user may not have “their data on your cloud” as an end goal.

There’s a paper by Kleppman et al about local-first apps that is worth a read.
The Story of Lichess
As this particular issue of DNS blocking pertains to Germany: By law (EU Commission Directive 2008/63/EC and national law TKG § 73 Abs 1) the ISP must allow the free choice of routers and has to provide all access codes. So even if an ISP provided router would be uncooperative, there is always the choice of just not using it.
Thanks!

One thing I've found while working in the ML space is that it seems like ML researchers have to deal with a lot of systems cruft. I think that in the limit, ML researchers basically only care having about a few things set up well:

- secrets and environment management

- making sure their dependencies are installed

- efficient access to their data

- quick access to their code

- using expensive compute efficiently

But to get all this set up for their research they need to wade through a ton of documentation about git, bash, docker containers, mountpoints, availability zones, cluster management and other low-level systems topics.

I think there's space for something like Replit or Vercel for ML researchers, and Moonglow is a (very early!) attempt at creating something like it.
In this case is it not faster to just code the component yourself?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of entanglement as less forming an actual binding relationship to two particles, and more as setting them up exactly the same way.

So it's not that you have two magnetic marbles and rotating one rotates the other, it's that you're rolling two dice with identical parameters and can expect that at any given slice of time they'll be doing the same thing.

Is that incorrect?
Was there ever a writeup of exactly how the XZ exploit worked? I mean exactly, I get the general overview and even quite a few of the specifics, but last time I checked no one had credibly figured out exactly how all the obfuscated components went together.
Not OP but I basically do the same thing (except the epub part) and the secret is to use XeTeX, since it allows you to use modern fonts.

Agreed. I was born in '81, and by the time I got my first computer (coincidentally, probably '89, when this test was compile), a ton of the questions on that list would have required you to have been in the industry for a couple decades already. I feel like even a hacker born in 1970 would have a trouble answering "yes" to many of those questions.
It's the other way around. Regulation around pricing forces housing providers to provide housing within a constrained cost model (land + materials + labor + cost of capital + permitting/AHJ requirements [regulation]). If they cannot meet the market (or choose not to, for whatever reason), public housing is an option, with muni bonds issued to finance construction. This removes the profit component, which a for profit enterprise needs, but public housing does not.

Similar experience: Citibank Retirement.

I had about $80,000 in IRA/CD's. I'd created & contributed to them over a period of 35 years.

Last year, it's time to retire, and Citibank won't give me half the money. It seems that some CD's are for "Cliff Stoll" and some for "Clifford Stoll".

Citibank Retirement demanded a "Marriage Certificate, Divorce Decree, or Court Order" to demonstrate that "Cliff Stoll" is the same person as "Clifford Stoll".

Took more than 8 months, dozens of emails, five visits to Citibank offices, and a letter to the Citibank president, to shake loose money that I'd deposited across three decades.
The Anatomy of an Explanation
The phrase "protect renters" is often used as a dogwhistle for price controls. For example, rent control and affordable housing mandates that require a certain % of units to be rented at below market rates. Can you elaborate on what exactly you're referring to here?
The motif also shows up in the 1001 Nights
WireGuard has apps for most devices (macOS, iOS, Android, Windows). For smart TVs it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of them do support VPN clients, and I know Tailscale works on the Apple TV now (Tailscale uses WireGuard under the hood).

If you're using the Ruroco client to proxy requests to the server, then you could do the same with WireGuard. You could have HAProxy (or something similar) proxy requests from your local network to the WireGuard interface.
Right, and a big enough crowd of people behaves like a fluid.
Strong recommend on using meow.com. You can get interest on your primary checking account, and easy access to high yield treasury management services.

I’ve been following the Evolve Bank fallout on the FinTech Weekly newsletter, and the whole situation scares me about Mercury. I used to bank with them, but the sanctions by the Federal Reserve and the continued disclosures about lacking KYC and money laundering controls has me worried there are other problems.

I’ve always been a little curious about how well the TSA detects tannerite (a binary explosive typically used for target shooting at ranges where you can’t see holes in paper).

I don’t think it’s particularly potent, but a pound of it will blow a hole in the dirt and a bucket of it will demolish a car (thanks for that tidbit, Moonshiners and FPSRussia).

No idea how much it takes to be problematic on a plane, and I don’t intend to Google it lol.

I was curious because it’s pedestrian as far as explosives go. Bass Pro Shops and Cabellas both sell it, and are happy to sell it in fairly large quantities. I think I bought 10 pounds last time I was there (20 explosive targets iirc) and no one batted an eye.
While technically possible, such a thing would never be allowed in a civilized country.

This is quite the straw man you've constructed.

Some larger retail stores in Germany ask you for your postcode during checkout, presumably to learn a bit about their customer base. I don't mind telling them mine, there are about 16K people with the same postcode. But I'm pretty sure I would not tell them if I was one of the two forest rangers in Reinhardswald. (And yes, I do pay cash whenever I can.)
My experience tells me the opposite, it's an incredibly thoughtful and useful evolution IMO.
While this is nice, I don't think the dangers are discussed enough. A user has no guarantee their key isn't just being sent to some malicious third party. Normalizing this seems dangerous because it only takes a couple bad actors.

Sure you could try to get people to issue / delete keys every time they use an online app but it seems unlikely most users will do that.

...vs "providing" housing like developed nations in cramped shelters, in cars and on the street? FYI: multigenerational households are a cultural artifact, not an economic one. As one might assume, hovels without water or electricity don't break the bank, they aren't "provided" by anyone either. Yours is a false dichotomy, and is easily disproved by examples in other developed countries where shelter is considered a right.
Not uncommon
This seems somewhat contentious, but having some assets outside of the banks is a pretty reasonable derisking mechanism. Bitcoin, and some stablecoins seem like a wise choice.
"Bait and Switch" still has its original meaning.
Thanks! When I was doing ML research, every moment that my GPU setup was top of mind was a point of frustration, so hopefully we're moving the dial a bit towards making compute an abstraction you don't have to worry about.

It isn’t an improved version of autocomplete though, it allows you to submit a design / image and output code. Narrowing the gap between designer and developer.

Thanks for trying it out. It’s been a while but I’m sure the test checks for a 404 so if those pages gave a 404 they won’t be recognized as a false positive. I tried leaving some text about possible false positives because some people told me it can make others panic if they don’t really understand web dev well.
The Blue Book is a great example because the number is so often discarded in almost all sales.

Another example would be stock trading apps, especially ones that give you forecasts and estimates as to when to buy and sell.
Yeah wait how is it the BAN's fault that you don't have unit numbers, that's like complaining that you never receive your letters "just because" your house just fully doesn't have any street address and the post office needs to figure it out better without any involvement on your part.
Is there a bank you recommend? Mostly I use online banks but every now and then you just need to go to a physical bank. I am a bit nomadic so one with branches all over the country would be good, although I know those are the most likely to be terrible
JWTs are orthogonal to OAuth2. Tokens in OAuth2 are opaque to the client applications. JWTs are one way to do it, though with significant tradeoffs.
When snapping a photo, couldn't a phone produce a hash with date/time/location included? I understand it's not bullet-proof, but at least it would make it possible to verify the original to some degree.
