I wouldn’t say we’ve entirely progressed, especially in regards to efficiency (which is paramount in older hardware). Python and similar easier to learn languages are fun and all but they’re not proper for efficient applications, however because it’s easy to work on, which means less human hours are spent on production, it’s shoved out the door because all we care about today is being the “first to market” and not the “best to market”.
And if there's one thing the cryptocurrency brand of cryptographers can do, it's come up with new ways to take out loans!
Unfortunately a fad that's been around since 2016/2017 or so. The largest one is probably Fortnite BR, they tend to have a few million monthly active users.. although whenever there's an event there's a lot more who just log in for the event. Typically a BR is one person (or one duo or one squad, etc) vs everyone else. No one respawns, except for specific exceptions, and the last person/squad/whatever standing wins. There's an official team deathmatch type mode as well but the children tend to scoff at it as if it's just training wheels for "the real mode" instead of realizing that it's more fun to have respawn than to not have it.
Right, by far, most of the tricks learned that improved game quality later in the life of a given console weren't based on new comp sci, but better understanding of the systems limitations (e.g. get more colors on screen by rewriting the color palettes between horizontal scan lines on the CRT) and improvements in tooling. I would say a rare exception to this is once video encoding/compression techniques came into play, in the late 90s/00s era where full motion video in games was cutting edge.
Good points, but I think there is a darker side that LLMs may be better at seduction than we are. There is a race between AI wingmen that will help you develop better relationships and AI lovers who will replace them. Market dynamics are in the favor of the second I am afraid.
Is there any advantage of Dokku over using Kubernetes (I already have a person single-node cluster).

I initially setup Dokku on K8s, but since it would just deploy to that same server it makes more sense IMO to just use K8s
I'm not sure if they can add a participant to an existing conversation, and if they did, your client would at least know. Also don't remember if the client will send message history, but I think Signal doesn't.

The simple bad scenario I have in mind is when you're initiating a new chat and the mitm it from the start. Or they could do it halfway through, which would notify you that the other end's key changed, but that message is non-threatening enough and happens enough for random other reasons that most people would probably ignore it.
This is scary. There will be inevitable hallucinations, but this time they might land innocent people in jail.
Basically – the advantages of the Silicon Valley ecosystem that companies have enjoyed over the last 50+ years continue to be advantages. Covid didn't change the landscape as much as people think.

I'm not aware of any recipes that force the lobster to gorge itself before killing it? Most lobster recipes usually involve bisecting the lobster's head with a sharp knife (killing it instantly), or dunking it into boiling water (which is probably incredibly painful for the duration, but ostensibly kills it within 10 seconds or so).
> I realized is that when you buy something like AWS, you're often paying for the platinum version, with redundant power, networking, etc, and not the bronze version, which a lot of people would settle for.

This is the difference in most cases.

Just taking availability as an example. Datadog has a 99.8% availability SLA. I suspect most companies would be fine paying for a 99% availability SLA, for example, at 1/4th the cost, but in most cases there's no way to scale down SLAs like that and launch a cheaper version.

There is a giant leap in cost (complexity, staffing, etc.) between 99% and 99.9% that most of these home grown solutions don't account for.

These nuances are lost in posts like these, and it is tiring.

Meta: for the old fogies out there, Jon Udell used to write for BYTE back in the day:

He stood up their first web site in 1995:

> One day this spring, an HTTP request popped out the back of my old Swan 386/25, rattled through our LAN, jumped across an X.25 link to BIX, negotiated its way through three major carriers and a dozen hosts, and made a final hop over a PPP link to its rendezvous with BYTE's newborn Web server, an Alpha AXP 150 located just 2 feet from the Swan.

Thank you. Well, there you have it, this is a non-regulated wild environment and except for data privacy and looking at costs basically everyone does what they need. So i am very jealous about the discipline you seem to be able to push through. :)

I see. I am not quite familiar with the legality of the licensing and stuff. I will keep this in mind for future reference.
I think the right balance is one of liability. There is a person responsible and can be creative as to how he creates the report. But if there is something wrong with the report, he would be responsible same as if he wrote the report himself.

I for one welcome new technology to reduce human error and biases.

This I don't understand:

> He said automating those reports will “ease the police’s ability to harass, surveil and inflict violence on community members. While making the cop’s job easier, it makes Black and brown people’s lives harder.”

This premise is anything that makes a police officers job easier means they can do more policing, which equates to making the lives of some people worse?
I don't know, but it seemed to be a pretty different level of thinking from the outside. When you're providing a service, you're grounded by the customer.

Depressed/anxious/whatever people don't generally want to have navel-gazing conversations about gender fluidity and the metaphysical dialectic (or whatever; I'm making up something woo-y). They want to feel better.
80s software was probably 10e5 times as efficient in terms of resources used per unit of functionality.

Most of the resources used today are for encode/decode (aka marshall/unmarshall), remote procedure calls (e.g. REST APIs), remote storage (API to DB writes), type checking and inefficient data structures and algos. In short, devs are lazy and the toolkits are sloppy .

100s of MB of code, RPCs , huge DOM manipulations , 100MB of ram just to run a basic CRUD app. It's 85% of the modern software experience.

similar crud app in the 80s/90s would take kBs of code & ram, 5ms UI latency, with deferred or no remote calls.
Ah, the good old days :-) See "the 8-bit guy's" video on just how many pages and pages full of products have been replaced by smartphones, which came in like a wrecking ball to to Radio Shack's business model, alas.
I'm not saying that it's literally impossible, I'm saying that it need not be trivial or cost effective, or that the level of the problem we see may be after such mitigation measures and not before them, or that limited resources may be being allocated elsewhere, or that there might be local incentive gradients blocking solutions - or more generally that the claims you're making don't seem to have taken these alternatives seriously.

"It doesn't seem like it should be that hard" is a fair observation, and a reasonable starting point for questions, but it isn't a proof that it isn't that hard and it isn't the end of the conversation. Two things stick out at me here: one, I don't think Inside Edition would publish a piece entitled "we put out a bait car and nothing happened", so the negative-reporting bias is still operative. And unless Breed's office is just lying (possible, of course), your own choice of quote says SF is apparently already doing what you want them to do.

My claim here isn't that there isn't a problem or that there aren't solutions to it or even that this specific approach isn't a solution to it. My claim is that this is not a good argument (in the sense of validity, not in the sense of correctness of conclusion), because it is not engaging with any alternative explanations or even investigating seriously whether this approach has already been tried. Instead, it's simply going "well I, a random blogger, thought of something that seems like a plausible solution, so the only possible reason for failure is that city governments don't care about crime".

I recently started a new company focused on personal (non-cloud) AI computing. I’m located in Denmark, living standards are perfect and all that, but I miss the vibe of building around similar minded people - the “dynamism” to paraphrase a16z. Is it worth moving to SF for, I wonder?
I honestly don't see an issue with this. This is the type of work that AI is made for: augmenting human tasks. Someone still reviews this before final submission (because court)

The article even mentions officers being more thoughtful with words during the stops so that it can be summarized easily later on.

Whilst hunting might involve the killing & taking of an animal, it 100% relies on there being a healthy population to begin with.

Not to mention, hunting is actually very difficult (contrary to a lot of belief). You end up spending a phenomenal amount of time learning about animals, their habitat, and behavior. There ends up being deep admiration.

Not all hunters of course, some are dipshits. But such is true for any group of people.
Every LLM conversation is guaranteed to contain some level of hallucination. You will never get the percentage down to zero.
I'm very pro remote work as an employee but as someone starting a company here is something I think about:

By making RTO required for my startup, am I introducing a filter that will filter out many employees I wouldn't want anyway?

There are real benefits to working side by side in office, just like for the business and employee there are real benefits to remote work. Hiring is so difficult already, having a filter that will get rid of the applicants not willing to put 100% into the startup seems like a good trade.

Ok, with that said, now is the time I am destroyed by the work life balance mob.
This is awesome, I work at AWS and might use this when the console load times get on my last nerve and I just want to check some IAM policies. The Access Denied debugger sounds like a massive timesaver too.
Tech in this context means the tech sector of the economy. Yes there are software engineers working at a bank or government office, but they aren't tech [company] employees, hence not counted in this statistic.
I've never heard this line from a real creationist, only ever as a strawman. Anyway, as far as I recall they don't (officially) have any problems with fossils like this. They'll just say the split happened during the Flood, like everything else.

LLMs are an excellent text processing tool. But it doesn't matter what tools you used, you're responsible for whatever you wrote.
There are a couple of buried pieces in here.

The first two examples are founders who moved from Europe to San Francisco. Given the entrepreneurial ecosystem in most mid-to-large U.S. cities and more favorable ways of working, I would imagine that you could get a win by moving to any U.S. geography with >1M people versus being a software entrepreneur in a EU regulatory environment. San Francisco is one of the examples... but Chicago probably is, too.

And if you're a founder, there are all sorts of things you need for your business beyond software engineers. You need access to capital, and most VCs are based in the Bay Area and would prefer you be there too. You need access to talented advisors, and later on, experienced hires. Those are also often in SF. It's not impossible to do elsewhere, just more challenging.

Neither of those examples make the case that it's better to hire your engineering team in SF, or that your rank-and-file employees should be there. Yet the article jumps to imply that's the case.
They are all selling the same gas from the same refinery. They might have slightly different additives but otherwise it all comes from the same place. you can't afford shipping costs to get gass from a different refinery (unless you are on a territory border)

the only question is how much profit to put on top and even then they have to be careful as if they go too low their competetors won't follow and then they have to pay extra for an unscheuled delivery just to fill their tank.

i'm reasonable certian that small stations are illegally colluding in some cases.
I am working on https://budgetflow.cc

It is a budgeting tool that allows you to create budgets and visualize them as interactive Sankey diagrams. You can configure smart "pockets", which can automatically send excess cash or take missing cash from other pockets. It also allows you to invite other users to shared budgets, so you can use it to plan budgets with roommates or your partner. Currently I am thinking about ways to make it into a viable business, but it is still not quite there yet where it needs to be for that.
Unless I'm missing something ... an full-size example or two would've been nice.
I have a heroku app that I'd love to try migrating. It's a pretty simple express.js single page app running on heroku's lowest level, uses firebase and has no database or other backend dependencies. The domain is on godaddy and it uses Cloudflare for DNS. Heroku's "Automated Certificate Management" takes care of the SSL cert.

The main issue is that it's for playing a game, and the game is held in-memory, and once a day heroku restarts their servers, so everyone gets kicked out of the game they're in when it restarts with cleared process memory. I need to fix this by migrating and I don't have time.

If anyone feels like this migration would be something that they have relevant experience for and which they could do confidently, please get in touch. Email in profile.
People emulate mice and keyboards from raspberry pis. I do not see why a KVM could not do the same. Or pretend it is a usbc docking station. Generic input devices do not have security keys.
Thanks! Hard to make a comparison to Cleric since their site doesn't really have any features or a demo. Onegrep is a fellow YC company, and we love what they're building! They seem to be more focused on workflows and pulling together context (also a very important problem in the space), we we've put more of a focus on root causing infra issues specifically. Resolve seems to come from the same category as Temporal, which are more traditional automation platforms. These end up being somewhat rigid tools in that you have to very explicitly define each step and they require a certain level of CI/CD or monitoring sophistication to be useful. Using LLMs allows us to relax these requirements and follow workflows like an actual engineer would.

I haven't heard of Beeps and can't find it, could you share the URL?
I always feel hardware upgrades that aren’t realistic to the time are in a way “cheating” when working on older machines. Definitely cool, but far cooler to fit in your features in using the original limitations.

DOOM, the Roguelike
Other than Virtua Racer, I don't think any Sega cartridges of that era had extra processing circuitry.

There were some with extra control-pad ports, and I think one with a modem. Of course, you could count the 32X & MegaCD as a large cartridge - but that's stretching it!
This is what you said, among others:

Why single out France or foie gras? When you look at factory farms across the globe, force feeding ducks is just one of many ways we torture the animals we eat.

Whoever forced it to use binary only blobs, like those employed by every wireless network card, can instruct it to exfiltrate users data to be sent anywhere, be it the manufacturers' or whichever entity they're controlled by. Closed chipsets not using blobs aren't immune either as malicious firmware can be implemented in iron only.
Sadly, we can't completely trust any system without total software and hardware openness, at least in all subsystems that deal with sensitive data.
One side is theory and the other practice. In theory, there is a clear difference. In practice, it’s a bit fuzzier.

(Yes, I know the original saying is that “in theory there is no difference, but in practice there is”… but this worked better in the context, which I guess, in some ways, also makes the same point).
Sorry to hear that happen to you. I agree. I don't plan to escalate it. My current plan is to reach out to them and maybe report it to GitHub if ignored.

Personal or development use are excluded. Basically if you're selling your own crypto (or a tool with your own crypto) you have to license it. I have to look, but i'm pretty sure openssl is licensed (If you have ISO/IEC 9797 or something you're good)

The animals on Australia's coat of arms: Emu and Kangaroo, are both able to be eaten. The Emu is our national bird.

I don't know if they're technically game meats but I can buy them both commercially. Kangaroo meat is in most supermarkets, and Emu in speciality butchers.
Amazing. The most expensive currently available iPhone is $1600 and thousands of times more powerful/capable. It would take pages and pages of products from the Radioshack catalog to even approximate what a modern phone can do.
~2019 I led a team of highly qualified security R&D folks inside Cisco (we were part of an acquisition), these folks were effectively highly specialized SWEs. But because the title was something like "security researcher" it was compared against the closet Radform ladder which was closer to to compliance officer.

This meant the specialists were on a ladder with often lower pay than a standard SWE, and I couldn't shift the bureaucracy enough to change that. People left for all sorts of reasons but a big part was being able to get 2x-4x the total compensation at other companies.
> They would lower their price to match the competition, otherwise they'd lose sales and make less money.

- they could also see their competitor raise their price to from $4.00 to $4.15 (for whatever reason) and decide that they can raise their price as well without losing customers.

Don't you need to run everything in bare metal to effectively leverage microVMs? AFAIK, unlike containers, you can't efficiently run microVMs on cloud VM instances.
> And if the driver of higher housing prices was college administrators, you'd have a point.

I don't follow. If college administrators were driving the price of housing, my point would fall apart immediately. That was in response to someone who thought colleges burn money, not the greater topic at hand.

> you're not going to convince many of us

Okay...? Why would I want to convince anyone of anything? That doesn't make any sense.
O, got you, definitely, could be something like an astable multi vibrator which is a fun discrete circuit to build, or a simple 555 timer in such a mode.

U.S. citizens are arrested and convicted for breaking laws in other countries all the time. It's rare that they get out of it because they are a foreigner. It doesn't matter if the laws and punishments are different - whether that be a caning for spitting, a prison sentence for besmirching the king, or even the death penalty for drug dealing. People are obligated to obey local laws, even if they disagree with them, or suffer the consequences.

Not saying there can't be an international uproar, but if laws were broken the local justice system is legally entitled to punish the perp, even a foreigner.

People loose their minds for all kinds of reasons, I can't speak to that ;-)
yea. We're definitely concerned about hallucinations and are using a variety of techniques to try and mitigate it (there's some existing discussion here, but using committees and sub-agents responsible for smaller tasks has helped).

What's helped the most, though, is using cluster information to back up decision making. That way we know the data it's considering isn't garbage, and the outputs are backed up by actual data.
> I for one welcome new technology to reduce human error and biases.

That assumes the technology does not contain those very biases, which we know is exactly what happens with LLMs. Maybe Axon have fair and unbiased datasets but unless they are forced to reveal that in court, no one will ever know.
This case -like the Sackler case- I hope they burn the company down with malice to make an example.

I have similar feelings about Airbnb. I think they caused a good deal of harm, but I'm more kind to the argument they are allowing market forces to act. People are priced out by mid-level wealth holders in nice locations who rent out to tourists; homes young families could have enjoyed. Airbnb could be a net harm on society ~30 years from now. Still too early to tell imo
Always see what's out there first. And don't get cold feed because someone else made something similar, or identical, such as Oink [0] made by Milk [1]. This example shows that all these can be true: app is useful, app has some users, app fails, somehow make $15 mil off of it. \_(ツ)_/¯

Build and use stuff for fun. No room for ego with software hobbying. I use Foursquare/Swarm and now none of my friends do but I have a blast with it.
