It looks like Japan sees 1.5 million deaths/year, so 4000 deaths in half a year is about 0.5%. So this is outlier data, and it would not be at all surprising if the overwhelming majority of them were childless. Whatever remains really cannot be enough to judge a society by.

"These days"? 25+ years ago it was pretty common to get scripts/bots checking your exposed web servers all time (I mean, it was a pretty frequent appearence in web access logs) and turning on firewall rejected access log gave you a permanent traffic of attempts for a lot of known and unknown ports.

If you will expose something (even some deep hidden web component) make sure that it is not a door to your data and infrastructure.

What had changed a bit since then is from where that traffic comes, and deciding if its right to receive/block it or not. Legal servers/services, end user side proxies, cloud providers, the amount of crawlers had increased a lot, and so on.
It makes a julia package name very recognizable and easily searchable. It's actually something I really miss when I'm trying to look up packages in other languages.
> To me, it's weird that the AGPL is any more "open source" than the Elastic License. The AGPL requires you to publish all of your source code if you make any changes to the product; the Elastic License just says, "don't use our code to make a direct competitor to Elasticsearch". I find the former to be much more restrictive in most practical ways since the majority of companies don't want to open source their code, but very few of them plan to sell hosted search.

The four freedoms of software are: the freedom to use the software for any purpose; the freedom to study and change the software; the freedom to share the software; and the freedom to share one’s changes. The AGPL permits all four; the Elastic License does not allow using the software to make a competitor; therefor the Elastic License is not a free software license.

Free software is not about the original author of code; it is about the users of that code and what they do with it. Copyleft ensures that those who build upon a software foundation grant the same freedoms to their users which they themselves received. Free software is about the users.

Ask HN: Which languages and frameworks do frontier LLMs understand best?
I'm exploring ways to maximize my productivity by leveraging the capabilities of frontier LLMs to generate most of my code. Given the rapid advancements in AI, I'm curious about which programming languages and frameworks these models currently understand and handle most effectively.

Specifically, I'm debating whether to focus on TypeScript + React or stick with Python. Are there advantages in how LLMs perform with one over the other in terms of code generation, debugging, or providing more accurate suggestions? Additionally, any insights into how certain tools or ecosystems might enhance the interaction with these models would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
Asia's Richest Man Says He Will Give Everyone 100 GB of Free Cloud Storage
There was no coup attempt. And you're right that even if there had been one I would not have minded.

The reason for that is in my world view I am already living in a dictatorship of the judiciary. So it's not that I don't value democracy, it's that Brazil is not really a democracy to begin with.

If I have to choose between a dictatorship of the military and a dictatorship of a communist judiciary, I'd rather live under the military one. An actual democracy would be nice but it doesn't seem to be one of the available choices.

I'm not sure that I'm politically aligned with the military either. It's not like its a right wing haven. Lots of communists in there too and it got even worse after Lula reached power.

I chose my words very carefully specifically because I wanted to avoid even the implication that I think the military is competent. I refer to the brazilian military as the "armed pensionists", they do literally nothing other than suck up our taxpayer money. I wish it was different. I still think they are preferrable to communists in power but that's a very low bar to begin with.

Even so, it would be unwise to underestimate what a military state is capable of. The brazilian dictatorship was responsible for major industrialization and the imports replacement policy. This contributed to the creation of the Lua programming language, for example. I sure as hell want Brazil go even further than that, and these communists aren't getting the job done.

How could that work with their architecture? They configure your device to use a DNS server running locally in their app. That resolves their device names to their internal device IP addresses. Their device names default to hostnames, just like mDNS does.

So to give an example if I enter http://geder in my browser I want that to resolve to 100.100.5.10 regardless of if I am on my home network (where geder is) or if I am on a train.

From my perspective half the reason to use tailscale is that it replaces why I'd want mDNS with less bugs.

I'd guess the answer to the question is yes (if someone is 70 with no children, it isn't a stretch to see how they might have no visitors for a month).

However industrial societies are very efficient so I don't know what you mean by "can’t pivot fast enough to handling". China could easily handle high death rates per average worker, practically speaking there isn't an upper limit to how many deaths can be handled. Corpses are generally fairly cooperative and theoretically they'll even go away by themselves if left alone. It is caring for old living people that is the hard part.
Hopefully this can be integrated (no pun intended) into SymPy.

Nowadays AI tools can locate most images, especially if taken outdoors or in public buildings, even without metadata.
This is a poorly explored avenue. I think a lot of these more advanced APIs ought to be permitted to "installed" PWAs. Maybe it could even look like permissions menu for apps in phone OSes.

> Was it bullshit when Debian wanted to make sure that Google Compute Engine images shipped as Debian didn't include proprietary software, components

Absolutely not. But, calling it Debian on Google Compute vs Google Compute for Debian has absolutely no bearing on whether they’re doing that or not.

Like you, I’ve had similar discussions with lawyers on my side and “the opposition side” and we’ve spent hours arguing over the semantics of these things while ignoring the root problem - in this case google bundling nonfree software with Debian and calling it Debian.

> my assumption is that both elastic and amino spend much more on their products than on their attempts to comply with trademark law when namjng their products

And yet here we are unfortunately discussing how we’ve come full circle, and I’m wondering how many thousands of people hours across google, elastic and all of their users were spent on dealing with a naming dispute.
Strictly speaking, you ended up using your compiler's priority queue. The standard defines the interface and invariants, but the implementer has discretion about the implementation. There are also several knobs you can turn to tweak the performance characteristics. std::priority_queue is a container adapter that can be applied to many of the standard containers. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/priority_queue
Well, you can't use the `async` keyword version if you need the `Send` bound.

Imo, Rust should introduce some syntax like `async(dyn+Send)` that desugars to `Box<dyn Future<Output = bla> + Send>`. This solves most of the async wards if you don't care about heap allocation and perfect performance.
They aren’t talking about metadata records from a photograph. I believe they are referring to information that’s included in the image itself as a banner overlay. In the link, it’s the box at the bottom of the image with the date, scale, settings, etc. Each manufacturer likely has their own information they include, thus making it obvious which instrument was used. The name of the manufacturer is also included on the image.

One reason why metadata like this is included in a medical/research image itself is so that it can’t be stripped unless the image is obviously cropped.
Pretty much all of it is open-source, and there's a self-hosted open-source alternative available for the only closed-source cloud-hosted component[0] - and that's even actively being promoted by Tailscale![1]

>I was given 114 minutes I don't think I could have done a better job of giving a feel for the guy, his work, and the situation to an intelligent person who has a passing interest in tech (e.g. my wife) than they did in the film.

I feel like I'm fairly forgiving when it comes to glossing over some details in order to serve the greater narrative, but I feel all of the film's points of conflict were fabricated to the point of being misleading.

Turing was a genius, but he wasn't a sole genius loner - he was a much liked and integral member of the team. Much of the plot is about him supposedly single handedly and against the will of Bletchley working on the Bombe when the Polish Bombe was a tried and true solution to Enigma-sans-plugboard already. This image of him being some kind of rebel is absolutely not giving you a "feel" for his situation.

The idea that the machine wasn't working and they had no idea how it was going to work until they "suddenly had the idea of using a crib" is trying to add a peril and a Eureka moment that didn't exist. From a "let's not get waded down in the details" point of view, sure but again this really adds more of a sole genius factor on Turing specifically when he was but one genius in a factory of geniuses.

Things like having one bombe in the corner of a room quietly breaking all the Nazi's codes? Sure, why not. It's very silly and downplays the roles of hundreds of Wrens, but you can have that for the sake of storytelling.

We may have different things that we wanted from this film, but honestly rewatching it it just felt like it was muddying the waters of what I already knew rather than being a fun accessible glimpse into the life of one of History's greatest minds.
Sad to read this, but all things pass I guess. Spent a large chunk of my life posting on and reading the AT forum. Last I checked I still have a mod account. Things sort of started to go downhill for me with the sale to... meh can't even recall the purchaser it's been so long. Farewell AT, thanks for all the good advice on builds and overclocking through the years.
I'm glad to hear the website will stay up, for now.

This makes me wonder if there's a way to preserve websites indefinitely in ebook form. A small device that contains the entire history of a website, and is self-contained in the ebook. The device would obviously require power and the hardware could degrade, but this could be mitigated by making the hardware replaceable, or rather the content swappable across devices.

It seems like a middle ground between durability/portability (printed book) and usability/access (website).

Data driven is not the silver bullet you think it is
As far as I've read there are opinions to the contrary; most LLMs start out as that, learning which word best comes next and that's it. But instruct tuned models get fine-tuned into something that's in between.

I imagine it ends up with extra logic behind selecting the next word in instruct compared to base model.

The argument is very reductionist though, since if I ask "What is a kind of fruit?" to a human...they really are just providing the most likely word based on their corpus of knowledge. Difference atm is that humans have ulterior motives, making them think "why are they asking me this? When's lunch? Damn this annoying person stopped me to ask me dumb questions, I really gotta get home to play games".

Once models start getting ulterior motives then I think the space for logic will improve; atm even during fine tuning there's not much imperative to it learning any decent logic because it has no motivations beyond "which response answers this query" - a human built like that would work exactly the same, and you see the same kind of thoughtless regurgitative behaviours once people have learned a simple job too well and are on autopilot.
This is not just Japan. I've seen two stories in Romania of a village with a single inhabitant: a 70+ year old man. One of them has three dogs. When he dies there might not even be remains to be found.
The entire notion of standard passports and border checking (other than "travel permits" within kingdoms) arose after the Constitution of the United States was ratified .. and that specific document isn't the be all to all reference for citizen | government contracts, even the US founders recognised it was "adequate for (their) present" and would require constant attention and fine tuning.

I once updated my graphics driver in the middle of a CS match. There was a second of black screen, a few seconds of lower frame rate, then everything was back to normal. I was amazed.

A lot of applications don’t handle the DEVICE_RESET event, though, so you’re likely to see them crash if the driver resets. Firefox used to have a bug where video playback stopped working after a driver reset, but that’s been fixed.
Guess it will become much worse in South Korea, with their 0.7 fertility rate. Many people going single childless today will become lonely elders 30 years from now.

> When I was in a band, one of the most valuable things my songwriting friends and I did for each other was tell each other when our work sounded like something that was already out there.

I'm a big advocate for originality, but its worth noting that most bands will have covered at least one song.

> If you make a new piece of software and offer it to a friend to use, it's not unreasonable for them to ask how it's different from something that's out there already.

If you're comparing baking to software then I'd argue that the software equivalent of a recipe is going to be frameworks and the programming language. And people do very much flock towards common frameworks that are known to work well. Just like how a lot of people prefer to use recipes that are known to work rather than chancing on something unknown.
Extremely sad. There basically is nothing like Anandtech; the depth, the ability to explain, the lack of sensationalism, and the integrity in benchmarking (I still vividly remember when they noticed an issue with HPET in Windows affecting their benchmarks, and promptly pulled all of them offline until they could reassess). Chips and Cheese is great but only covers a certain segment of it.

In the end, I would assume it just boiled down to lack of money. There were people among us who would gladly pay for this kind of coverage, but Anandtech said at some point they had considered it and couldn't find a good model. (As an aside, I pay for LWN, and I would pay for something that covered similar areas to Phoronix but actually was good.)

From previous threads, my understanding is Elastic is a pretty arduous enterprise sales process which turned a lot of small/mid customers away.

High vendor management overhead is a huge pain for smaller companies that don't have robust IT to manage those relationships.

The smaller/mid size startups I've worked at almost never acquire "enterprise" software and always leverage pay-by-credit-card type SaaS

Besides operational overhead there's also a much longer acquisition time (no one wants to spend 3-6 months working with a sales team to sign a contract on a project with 2-3 month timeline)

If you think of the variable being derived/integrated over as time, then conceptually the derivative at a time only represents information from that one time plus or minus some tiny delta, while an antiderivative repesents information from all of time.

Formally, I'm not sure how to show that's related to the relative difficilties of the two operarions, or if it actually is related in the first place, but intuitively the explanation is appealing.
It's definitely not rare. Many people have negative relationships with their parents. Sometimes, however, it's not even a poor relationship but being unable/unwilling to deal with the stress of exposing yourself to their mental and physical degradation.

"LLMs do not participate in social interaction, and having no basis for shared experience, they also have nothing at stake," the paper says. "There is no set of processes of self-production that are at risk, and which their behavior continually stabilizes, or at least moves them away from instability and dissolution. A model does not experience a sense of satisfaction, pleasure, guilt, responsibility, or accountability for what it produces. Instead, LLMs are complex tools, and within any activity their roles is that of a tool."
