In my experience, it just worked -- I was at an org that ran 3rd party java services alongside our normal array of microservices (that all used our internal instrumentation library that wrapped OTEL) and using the OTEL autoinstrumentation for those 3rd party services was pretty trivial to get setup and running (just wrap the command to run the app with the OTEL wrapper, hand it a collector url.) Granted -- we already had invested in OTEL elsewhere and were familiar with many of the situations in which it didn't just work.
Yes ... ?
I think you just unintentionally highlighted the need for the tor project and outreach to inform people about it.
But not even 'editorializing' where that is not injecting opinion, but simply correcting a misleading headline (as in this case)? (I only used the word 'editorializing' in this broader sense that HN people do. They key part of this particular story that was lost is that Meta/IG will use AI to infer users' age, specifically to detect when they are under-18. Thus "automatically infer age" part over the "even if they're lying" part seems an objectively better fixed headline.)
I had a very similar experience with a Quarks REST API where it's supported very well out of the box, we just had to point it to the appropriate otel collector endpoint and traces are created or propagated automatically.
My impression is people are generally alarmed but without any science of what the harms are it’s hard to understand what we need to do about the situation. The science is still very immature, and there are lot of other bad things (PFAs for example) that are likewise ubiquitous and permeate everything and everywhere that we have a pretty clear notion of their dangers. Even then it’s hard to assess how severe the harms are for microplastics yet. Part of the reason is they’re clearly not overtly dangerous. The way in which they are dangerous is very poorly understood, so what policy or regulatory actions could we take today? Ban plastics globally? “Plastic” is a very broad term for a specific mechanical characteristic of a material and includes lots of monomers and polymers, some of which we know are inert enough in life we use them for implants in human bodies already. Are those micro plastics dangerous? Who knows. Should be bans everything that has the characteristic of being “plastic?” That’s absurd. So while I might agree we need to “do something,” that something will need to be super subtle and targeted out of bare necessity.

I've always thought the term "resource" was dehumanizing, but at least on its own it could be interpreted positively, but "resource actions" is just upsetting
The actual sanctions are complicated.[1]

There's a big list of allowed Internet activity between the US and Iran.[2]
It is explicitly US policy to not cut off Iran from the Internet.
The State Department wants people in Iran to get info from the outside world.
However, the US does not allow US domain registrations or web hosting "for or on behalf of the Government of Iran".

The Office of Foreign Assets Control can be queried for case by case info. That's appropriate here.

I have used Comic Mono as my coding font for the past 2 years and unironically love it. I installed it as a joke so I could take some screenshots and get funny reactions out of my friends, but found myself genuinely enjoying the readability. These days I frequently forget it's even installed except when someone new joins the team and sees my IDE setup for the first time:

"What font is that??"

"Oh, haha, yeah... It's Comic Sans, but monospaced!"

"Uh huh. Okie dokie then."

I see it a bit differently, or at least I see a different possibility. Most of the injured were pager-owning Hezbollah members who were already pissed off in a way that has religious & ideological foundations unlikely to be changed regardless of events. The general populace might go either way, angry at the attack and/or angry at the Hezbollah members for attacking a much more powerful enemy and bringing the violence into their community.
> It makes US service providers, like Google and Amazon, very unattractive for businesses that require worldwide coverage

You know what is much more unattractive to these businesses? Getting on the wrong side of the US government. And honestly, I don't see any business (except for ones in Russia, China and Iran) changing provider because they don't provide service to Iran.

> damaging to our businesses (no worldwide service)

I'm confused, are you arguing here for allowing free-tier services under the sanction regime, or for getting rid of sanctions against Iran altogether? If it's the latter, then the argument is self-consistent. But if it's the former, then you're effectively saying that an american business which currently doesn't provide any services to iranian customers would instead prefer to provide free-tier services for them without any way to get them to paid tier, and that doesn't make any sense. If you know that users from a certain region would always be at 0% conversion, you would get nothing by providing them with a free tier.

Instead of building their GPU support atop CUDA/NVIDIA [0], I’m wondering why they didn’t instead go with WebGPU [1] via something like wgpu [2]. Using wgpu, they could offer cross-platform compatibility across several graphics API’s, covering a wide range of hardware including NVIDIA GeForce and Quadro, AMD Radeon, Intel Iris and Arc, ARM Mali, and Apple’s integrated GPU’s.

They note the following [0]:

> The GPU module is under active development. APIs and semantics might change between Codon releases.

The thing is, based on the current syntax and semantics I see, it’ll almost certainly need to change to support non-NVIDIA devices, so I think it might be a better idea to just go with WebGPU compute pipelines sooner rather than later.

Just my two pennies…

"Knowledge engine" is, perhaps unintentionally, a very revealing (and funny) way to describe people's weird projections on this stuff.

Like, what is even the implication? Is knowledge the gas, or the product? What does this engine power? Is this like a totally materialist concept of knowledge?

Maybe soon we will hear of a "fate producer."

What about "language gizmo"? "Prose contraption"?

This whole issue of blocking Iranian IPs and not allowing them to download Docker containers for ‘legal’ reasons is ridiculous. Additionally, trying to detect and ban VPNs used by Iranians, which will affect the next user of that IP, is equally absurd
Yes it was. I actually wrote a kernel driver in Objective-C for an EISA board on OPENSTEP.

The runtime support that's required for Objective-C is extremely minimal. In the end you need objc_msgSend() and some runtime structures so that function works.

The methods themselves are just C functions with slightly funky names.
That's beside the point, though. Imagine you are in some non-aligned/involved country with no real stake in MENA politics, idk Thailand or Peru. Corporate/national security is your job. Absent some specific need that can't be supplied by anyone else, would you want to do business with them?
Isn't EU basically abusing every tech company for money every month? Why would Apple be inclined in investing anything in EU.

Plus, if US has skill shortage, can't imagine how bad it would be in EU.
Some EU supermarkets used to have a circular glass system where products were brought in bulk, and only canned in glass inside the shop, sometimes by the customer. Bottles were then returned after use, washed locally and reused many times. This looked fairly efficient.

Restaurants and bars still have the same system here for e.g. Coca-Cola drinks, which come inside a glass bottle that has been reused several times. I'm not sure plastic is more efficient than reusing a glass bottle. Lots of yogurts are packaged in glass containers, and price seems average. I have also heard that plastic is rarely recycled, so it also sounds unsustainable from that perspective.

Because Ukraine was fighting on it's own territory, not the territory of the enemy. Just today, Ukrainians have blown up the Russian arms silo the size of a small town, and I don't doubt that a lot of Russian civilians have died. There's also been a lot of casualties around Kursk. There's been a lot of civilian casualties in different attacks on Crimea too. Quite a few people died when Ukrainians attacked the Crimea bridge.

And, of course, Ukranians are within their rights and do not break any laws of war. Just as Israelis.
No? Any modern disk encryption system with a strong passphrase (basically, anything but default-BitLocker) is very effective against "they have your physical machine and it's off" for any known, current adversary. And, the basic cryptography in use is common, robust, and proven enough that this is probably true even if your tinfoil hat is balled quite tightly.

Where modern research effort goes is into protecting against "they HAD your physical machine and they gave it back to you" or "they got your machine while it was on/running" - these are much more difficult problems to solve, and are where TEE, TPM, Secure Boot, memory encryption, DMA hardening, etc. come into play.
Yeah, it is, unless you can make the case that IBM doesn't need all those leaders any more.

Saving a buck, being a traitor, and sacrificing quality all at the same time. Workers should both unionize and boycott any company that behaves that way.
There's a ton of variety out there in the real world such that you'll always find a few businesses that match almost any scenario you can imagine. So, yes, for some business doing a process a certain way is a competitive differentiator or advantage ... or even a necessity for their particular industry. For these businesses banging the SAP square peg into their special BP round hole is worth attempting. Even better might be just building their own custom round peg. I'm suggesting that many (not all) businesses are doing a BP a certain way for no compelling reason whatsoever other than that's the way they (almost randomly) picked to do it decades ago and could easily change to a standard practice without loss of competitiveness (maybe even gain by focusing on what does).

This risk is so low it is ultra targeted. Once again, the usual ratio of civilian casualties to combatant casualties in a modern war, per UN, is 9:1. In Gaza war, this ratio is 1-2:1, so even there, Israel is already producing 5-10 times less civilian casualties.

In this case, it's thousands of enemy combatants and (at the most, according to journalists in Lebanon and therefore under Hezbolla power) a couple of dozens of civilians. Can you calculate the ratio here? Where else have you seen a military operation of this scope and with this kind of civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio?
That's literally true, and I don't mean that in a snarky way. Everyone who ever had a history class should know this.

My wife's 2022 Mercedes has a mechanical lock on at least the driver's door.

I discovered the process when I was driving around with our dog and needed to run in to a store briefly. The car has some quirks; if you take the key fob out when it's running, the car starts a chime inside that is annoying. It can be turned off, though. So I left the car running, put the window down, got out, turned the chime off, locked the doors (WHICH CANNOT BE DONE WITH THE FOB WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING!), and used the auto-full-close feature of the window.

Then I discovered that the car also stops responding to the fob in this situation! I had left my phone in the car, so I ended up calling my family on my Apple Watch (which was doable but annoying because... the car is still on, which means it keeps defaulting to Bluetooth connection) and getting them to look up the Mercedes help line and text it to me so I could call it.

Dog was fine, if a little freaked out because she could see me but not get to me.

Anyway, yeah, investigate your car's method for accessing and using the physical key well before you need it. Even if it's not your car. I don't think my wife would have figured out my convoluted method for getting the car into that state, but I know she would have been confused as hell at the results. And then called me to ask how to fix the problem.

When doing inference for an LLM, there are two stages.

The first phase is referred to as "prefill", where the input is processed to create the KV Cache.

After that phase, the "decode" phase is called auto-regressively. Each decode yields one new token.

This post on [Inference Memory Requirements](https://huggingface.co/blog/llama31#inference-memory-require...) is quite good.

These two phases have pretty different performance characteristics - prefill can really maximize GPU memory. For long contexts, its can be nigh impossible to do it all in a single pass - frameworks like vLLM use a technique called "chunked prefill".

The decode phase is compute intensive, but tends not to maximize GPU memory.

If you are serving these models, you really want to be able to have larger batch sizes during inference, which can only really come with scale - for a smaller app, you won't want to make the user wait that long.

So, long contexts only have to be processed _once_ per inference, which is basically a scheduling problem.

But the number of decode passes scales linearly with the output length. If it was unlimited, you could get some requests just _always_ present in an inference batch, reducing throughput for everyone.

I wish the US had been involved, but I seriously doubt it, if only because the opsec requirements are so high. If anyone in Hezbollah had even a whiff of concern that this could happen, the whole operation would have been a bust.
