To be fair, if you have fewer than 250 employees and are going to stay that way for very long then you have no business worrying about automating onboarding scripts. It will take too much of your time for too little gain.
where are you quoting that from?
REAL ID is a federal standard for verifying identity and producing matching IDs. State identification cards and driver’s licenses that doesn’t conform to REAL ID only follow the standards of the state that produced it, and not the federal one (hence the pending regulation that federal orgs, including the TSA, would only accept REAL ID compatible identification, and not the state-only regulated identification cards).

Google deserves the criticism it gets, but I'm also skeptical about this.

The sentience angle is just dogmatic/philosophical and lacks any good evidence.

A service dog can be brought into a theater just fine, as it is sufficiently intelligent to be trained to behave appropriately.

There's nothing that specifically prevents animals from entering a movie theater, I'ma say they mostly just generally lack 1) any intellectual desire/intent to watch a movie, 2) appropriate social behavior to cohabit a space with humans, 3) money to pay their ticket.

I would agree that current ML/NN based models might seem like a way to more or less circumvent copyright, but don't feel like there should be a blanket ban discriminating against potential intelligent entities that might arise in the future from more sophisticated technologies.

This methods discussed in the article are how I have seen some hardware appliance vendors SSH into their devices despite the customer only allowing outbound connections to a cloud provider. I would call these out in security reviews and it would get political really fast as the team buying the device wanted this feature but the compliance team wanted the flows documented that would conflict with security policies and ultimately would cause an audit failure. It got even more interesting when one of the vendors was also a B2B customer. A firewall vendor claimed they could block anything inside that outbound HTTPS connection that was not HTTP but they could not. I will not be permitted to add specific details such as the appliance vendor or firewall vendor.

I would wager some companies don't even know that a vendor can SSH into the customer datacenter not just the device despite only allowing outbound HTTPS flows to a cloud provider.

I agree that it could maybe use some new types, but it also does kinda get to the heart of this: I’ve never used this kernel API before, but I can say “oh, this function may error out, but if it doesn’t, it gives me either a new inode or a reference (I’m assuming that’s what ARef is) to an existing one. That’s a lot of valuable information, at a glance.

>thunderbolt (usb c) is owned by Intel.

USB-C is distinct from Thunderbolt. And Thunderbolt itself got rolled into USB4 which is now an industry standard rather than one controlled by Intel.

Even so, Intel and AMD aren't so hostile to each other to avoid cross-licensing when it's mutually beneficial. A lot of the newest generation of AM5 motherboards actually include an Intel chipset for handling Thunderbolt/USB4.

Why not count the fact that humans created a tool to help themselves at unminifying towards human score?

Having a computer multiplying 1000-digit numbers instantly is an example of humans succeeding at multiplying: by creating a tool for that first. Because what else is intellectually succeeding there? It’s not like the computer has created itself.

If one draws a boundary of human intelligence at the skull bone and does not count the tools that this very intelligence is creating and using as mere steps of problem solving process, then one will also have to accept that humans are not intelligent enough to fly into space or do surgery or even cook most of the meals.

I talk to ai like a caveman mostly. Instead of over optimizing my prompt I just try to find the minimal amount of representation to get the llm to understand my problem and solve it for me and I have been very productive with this strategy. What would someone like me get out of prompt engineering? Or is it more for things like agents, bots, and assistants?
> So the question is, could you instead spend your "complexity budget" on actually optimizing the "app" layer?

You definitely could, and I know people who have ported things from e.g. PHP or Python or Java to Go, so that a service that required 100 servers then only required 1. But it's just expensive -- the time it takes, and hiring people who can do that and maintain that.

And I only know of that having been done for services that were already in an extremely stable state, and not expected to change -- API endpoints, not HTML generators.

Generally speaking, the "app" layer is just changing a lot as features get tested and added and changed and swapped out, and dev cost is the priority, not server cost. And load balancing web servers is very easy.

> And connected to SQLite: Combine the fact that databases are just files, and that you can easily run "ATTACH <file>" to connect multiple database files on the same "connection", you should in many cases be able to design your overall structure to effectively "pre-shard" data.

Distributing a database that is read-only is easy, sure. It's the writes that are hard, and when you shard it's the joins between shards that give you headaches. If you work on a site where data from one user never has to be joined to data from another, then lucky you. ;)

That makes no sense to me. Roof space is unused (essentially free), and the panels shade the house making it more livable and efficient. Land you can use that is near your house is your yard- extremely valuable and expensive. Putting it elsewhere requires buying the electricity from someone else, all of the costs and losses of a power grid, and unreliability of a power grid.

Installing a solar panel on a roof is not exactly expensive, complex, or difficult. Virtually every house in my neighborhood has them.

The Origins and Dangers of AI Hype in the Research Community
Dangerous content slipping through the cracks and the algorithms messing up is the same thing. There is no way for content to "slip through the cracks" other than via the algorithm.
It fixes the worst problem, which is the well-definedness of the interior product, since it defines the product explicitly on the standard basis rather than through a bunch of not-obviously-consistent axioms. It is too basis-dependent for my tastes (it should depend on the symmetric bilinear form, not on the basis). As for the sign conventions, I think they're ultimately matters of taste, and while I agree with you about the inner/scalar product, I disagree about the derivation-ness of a contraction (I like it to satisfy the Koszul sign rule, which allows signs to be inserted only when some factors move past each other).

My ideal approach is along the lines of Chevalley's "The Algebraic Theory of Spinors and Clifford Algebras", Chapter III, but he doesn't get to much geometric algebra.

> Regarding analytics, I believe browsers should take user's side and do not cooperate with marketing companies

Browsers were supposed to act as agents working for the user. User-agents. These days it's getting harder and harder to find a browser that doesn't work for an ad company at the expense of the user.

Chrome's entire reason for existing is data collection. Firefox can, for now at least, be hardened to work for the user (and prevent a lot of fingerprinting), but Mozilla is an ad-tech company too now. They've made their lack of respect for Firefox users clear by making Firefox spy on users by default so that Mozilla can sell that data to marketers.

Currently, you can disable that spying in about:config by setting dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled to false
(see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41311479 and also https://web.archive.org/web/20240827185708/https://make-fire...). No idea how long that will continue to be an option or how often you'll have to go back and reset that back to false following updates though.

We really need a new browser that actually works in the interest of the users.

> you need more like 3200W

> The market isn't going to bear the cost of massive solar installations as standard equipment.

so doing some math...

Larger class A RVs seem to cost $300k and up, and retirees seem to happily pay for all conveniences. For "normal" people, who haven't cashed in their retirement, the good thing is that they depreciate like a car instead of appreciating like a house.

if you used all of a 40ft RV roof (40'x8') you could get ~ 5000 watts

If you had fold-out solar awnings, I don't know what you could get... 10k? 15k?

With a large tesla battery pack, you could get 100kwh of batteries.

I remember when tesla first came out with their cars. The batteries seemed unnecessarily large and expensive compared to 24 kwh batteries in other cars. But they survived the test of time/longevity being both practical and not charged and discharged 100% every day.

I think it will happen, I just wonder when.

I think the logic goes something like:

1) Amazon is powerful, thus bad

2) we’re discussing Amazon

3) find something potentially bad

4) use confusing and negative language to throw shade to discredit my target because #1

It’s really frustrating to experience these types of conversation. People explicitly choose to donate their work to the world under an open source license. Complaining they someone uses without contributing is so stupid it defies belief. It’s like complaining because Amazon only pays $5 for a Big Mac when that is the posted price.
Those are the same reasons for why I avoid AGPL (and GPL frankly, because I dont want to make my frontend code fully open source either). I always thought that when a project is AGPL then I might as well consider it off limits for myself because if any of my code is touching it and then that code indirectly eventually reaches users via the network then wouldn't that also mean that I have to open source everything? I mean otherwise you could just put any AGPL software behind a proxy and you'd be instantly fine which I don't think that's how it works. In an ideal world we would have a license where you're required to open source only the changes you make to the 3rd party code, not everything that surrounds it and without restrictions on linking or network. But I guess that is too hard to enforce.
Actually worse than that. By joining you agree to allow the lawyers to collect from you in the event of a loss.

> These aren't things that a computer has trouble with

They are irrelevant for executing the code, but they're probably pretty relevant for an LLM that is ingesting the code and text and inferring its function based on other examples it has seen. It's definitely more impressive that an LLM can succeed at this without the context of (correct) variable names than with them.
I frequently don't even install a GUI on most of my Pi projects, and barely use the capability that the hardware offers for my embedded applications. Why would I want to pay more money for capability and capacity that I will not use? That is stupid, and wasteful, and inefficent, and against my personal engineering philosophy.

So, the use-case is being tight wadded, skinflinted miserly old bastard who would prefer to put his extra cash toward yet another dumb old guitar, than DRAM that will be DEADBEEF for it's entire life?

...if you know how to decode it. That example looks like one of those C++ SFINAE hacks, e.g. trying to bend the template/generics syntax beyond what it was designed for.

If Rust APIs want to go that way (of overly expressive strong typing) then Rust really should offer a better syntax for describing such types. But it's not even clear to me if such strongly typed APIs are even a good idea. From my experience in C++ and (especially) Typescript with similar APIs, it's a PITA to work with in real world projects, and on both sides of the API.

38,118,782 as of right now. It was a massive undertaking on the ops side of things. Imo, the most impressive bit is that we eventually made our ingest fast enough to ingest the entire dataset in <24hrs. In February, it took two weeks.

This is also quite dependent on the microclimate: there's a number of places in the south of BC that get radically different levels of solar radiation. Kelowna for instance would be far better than North Vancouver for a solar setup.

By and large most of BC wasn't economic enough to justify solar as a replacement for grid power, but I haven't checked those numbers in a while. We do have relatively cheap hydro power, so there's not a hugely strong incentive either. There's other reasons that might justify an install however, especially for off-grid folks.
I found the pink picture underwhelming. So many possibilities, yet a missed opportunity.
For anyone making claims about what the authors of Section 230 intended or the extent to which Section 230 applies to targeted recommendations by algorithms, the authors of Section 230 (Ron Wyden and Chris Cox) wrote an amicus brief [1] for Google v. Gonzalez (2023). Here is an excerpt from the corresponding press release [2] by Wyden:

> “Section 230 protects targeted recommendations to the same extent that it protects other forms of content presentation,” the members wrote. “That interpretation enables Section 230 to fulfill Congress’s purpose of encouraging innovation in content presentation and moderation. The real-time transmission of user-generated content that Section 230 fosters has become a backbone of online activity, relied upon by innumerable Internet users and platforms alike. Section 230’s protection remains as essential today as it was when the provision was enacted.”
