Doesn't that mean you need all the app's library dependencies installed into your alternate libdirs that you bind mount over top the "real" libdirs? Not just the ones you want to override?

I feel like for this, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is usually sufficient. Just seems like glibc is the special case.
> Many models of many GB each on a phone with only 8GB of DRAM doesn't make sense.

> there's not enough performance for large models to be useful

For iPhone, the Private LLM app offers 44 models in its easy-install menu right now (on 15 promax), with avg model size about 2.7 GB.

Total GB is ~120 GB to install and compare them all.

People could argue about what being useful means, but asking these different models the same question can give quite different (and indeed thought-provokingly different) results.

They all have either different foundations or different fine tuning or something. The same prompt gives rather different answers depending on what model you pick. It's fun that way.

So to compare their outputs, one would need 120GB free at once, then install them all, or else do some very inefficient and weird dance of uninstall-then-reinstall n times while picking and choosing which ones to try out for a given prompt.

And that's just for one offline "gen AI" app. There might be others.

This can be done offline, while on a walk, or whatever, without hitting any servers at all, in the palm of one's hand. Performance is good enough on iPhone for a bunch of tasks/prompts.

So, IDK. Does part of that not make sense? These models not being run run at once, and don't need to be in RAM at once. They're being stored on disk at once to be used when wanted. They initialize one at a time when in use. The large disk size is for storing the models. The phone can then use the models when wanted.

(Granted, it's not the "same" as hitting huge versions of the models sitting on some beefy infra, but we're talking about mobile devices here and actual current uses for having a bunch of local storage available on them.)

But I have run into issues with multi-module projects and the like, and it can be very frustrating to realize that you are trying out some corrupt version. Nonetheless, maven is also a cool and stable tool, but you are better off adding a clean step from time to time.

There has been a generation of activists and NIMBYs campaigning and protesting to artificially inflate the cost of nuclear, while having this delicious benefit of now being also able to claim about the cost of nuclear.

The ballooning of costs is not even significantly due to changing safety requirements, but often due to compliance and environmental requirements. Those are political requirements that could be removed in one fell swoop.
Very nice! Inspiring.
right, so using the heuristics libraries to determine if you were a bot you are probably already 65% bot, then if the threshold is 70% bot maybe you just need to tab really quick to an input and control-c your password and there you are.

> enough power to light up 14 LED bulbs for one hour

What kind of bulbs are those? 5 W? 10 W? 0.5 W? This comparison is pretty useless and therefore raises the suspicion that it was chosen so it can be easily exaggerated. I mean, it's Ok to have something to compare it to, but they should also include the actual Wh figure.
> Do you think that Pakistanis don't know already that their country is poorly run and that their politicians are corrupt and incompetent?

Given that the trajectory has not changed, I think they don't care to fix it. South Africans also know their government is corrupt, and they consciously vote for it. Whether this is similar in Pakistan I don't know, but clearly if they cared to change trajectory it would not get worse all the time.

What a coincidence, I spun up my first VM on DigitalOcean just yesterday for $4 a month. It felt... freeing after a few years of working with the Big Three for various things, big and small.

Still a step above schlepping your own hardware, but it was still the cheapest Debian VM I could find by about a factor of 2. (Admittedly, I didn't look too hard, let me know if you know a better one.)

Some people think that the west (and others) are doing similar things, for example: focusing on some migrants rather than tackling climate change. This too will have a catastrophic human toll in my opinion, I think people are warned, and still the focus is on basically anything else.

To be honest, I would have a different issue with "the civilized countries" (whatever east/west/etc.). They should be a role model, and while they are a bit better than some on the list, they are quite far from what they could be.

So, probably, rather than worry about how bad has it someone hundreds of miles away, try to improve something in the local vicinity.

part of Google's control of captcha also has to do with knowing who you are, so if you come to a site but google knows who you are and have a 99% surety you are not a bot even if you act very botlike on that site you probably aren't going to get any problems.
It's not like containers are always easy and always work fine and never introduce problems of their own.

If I'm debugging something, the last thing I want to do is spin up a container, make sure I've mounted the paths I need inside it, and/or ferry things in and out of it.

I'd much rather just run the binary under a different interpreter.

Granted, this is only useful if I'm already building my own glibc for some reason. If I'm debugging a problem where someone tells me my app is broken on some other version of some other distro, and I've narrowed the problem down to glibc, it is probably easier just to spin up a container image of that version of that other distro, rather than building my own glibc, using the same version as in that other distro.

Matrix.org Breaks Federation: Users Can't Decrypt Messages from Other Servers
The default and largest server for registering accounts on the Matrix network — matrix.org — has broken federation. Specifically, it has disrupted the exchange of encryption keys with all other servers.

Users with accounts on matrix.org can communicate among themselves but cannot decrypt messages from users with accounts on any other servers. The error 'unable to decrypt message' appears in Element, and 'message could not be decrypted due to missing key' in Nheko.

Meanwhile, there are no key exchange problems between users on any other servers.

In other words, matrix.org has isolated itself, forcing everyone else (those who set up their own servers or registered on small company servers, for example) to create accounts on matrix.org to avoid losing contact with the majority of people on the network.

The developers are silent as spies: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/issues/2483

Although the problem has been observed at least since the end of July.

The problem was tested on different clients (both on PC and Android), in various operating systems, with different servers, under VPN and without, with different residentional providers. The /discardsession command was tried — it's definitely not something that broke on my end personally.

I believe that amid the fight against end-to-end encryption in England, Germany, and France, authorities have simply approached them and asked to create a walled garden to prevent people from spreading across uncontrolled servers.
No, it's not. It's a product of the Pakistani people.
Nope. I tried.
You can use XMPP+OMEMO for this. E2EE and self hosted.
It's worth considering that the convenience will mean this will be done more often, so a straight comparison won't be correct. Just consider how many emails we send compared to letters sent at the peak of their use.
Visual Studio, mostly. Otherwise go for Rider.
It can theoretically be repurposed, but hydrogen is a much smaller molecule than methane and thus leaks in existing methane installations. Given that it is also much more dangerous when it leaks (it explodes much more easily than methane), that means reworking all the infrastructure around the storage site, which ain't free.

Also, producing hydrogen from electricity requires lots of investments in terms of conversion units, and the economics is already dubious even when they run 100% of the time, so using it just for absorbing excess production a fraction of the year really isn't economical. In addition, what are you going to do with the hydrogen? Burns too hot for existing gas turbines so you'd need new ones. Fuel cells? That's expensive too.

There's a reason why everyone is betting on batteries instead of hydrogen, the economics of hydrogen is just too difficult.

And you know what? Even if you want to go full hydrogen, Nuclear + hydrogen is also more efficient than Wind + hydrogen since the hydrogen production units are going to be used at capacity more often, because wind is intermittent.
How many calories do you burn if you write it by hand? And how does that translate to environmental impact? Also you still have to “hand edit” ChatGPT generated stuff, so what you’re saying is the environmental impact is even greater than the article suggests (have to account for those extra calories)
To be fair, it's not one line: before getting to use that one line, have to build a whole other glibc as well. Which is often not a particularly fun process.
The EU invested pretty heavily into making sure even very remote parts of Europe, like northern Finland, have great Internet. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was able to work from home at the in-laws'!

You do know that you shouldn't be looking at stuff it's recommending to you, right? Think of something you'd like to know more about and then look it up yourself.
You are looking for the airport pair with the highest number of minimum hops required to get between them.

Guam and Honolulu both have direct flights to Seoul so it’s not a great example.
This is a good take. For some queries you'd spend hours browsing and reading yourself, which in turn would cost probably much more power if you consider my desktop setup with a tower and big monitor as well as my own time and energy.
> That's not all, though, right? Unless you're using the dubious kernel-driven polling thread, which I gather is uncommon, you _also_ have to make a submit system call of some kind after you've finished appending stuff to your submit queue. Otherwise, how would the kernel know you'd done it?

Correct, the "check for new entries" system call is called io_uring_enter(). (0)

> Some system calls are not especially asynchronous: they perform some amount of work that isn't asynchronously submitted to some hardware in quite the same way as, say, a disk write may be. What thread is actually performing that work? Does it occur immediately during the submit system call, and is completed by the time that call returns? Is some other thread co-opted to perform the work?

A kernel thread. The submit system call can be optionally made to wait for completion, but by default it will always immediately return.

> Whose scheduling quantum is consumed by this?

That's a good question. The IO scheduler correctly sees them as belonging to the submitting thread, but if you issue a bunch of computation-heavy syscalls, I would not be surprised if they were not correctly accounted for.

The water consumed to produce a single hamburger is over 2000 liters, and the power likely well over 100 watt-hours.

That means gpt can write >1000 emails using the resources of feeding a single person lunch. The resource efficiency of these machines already is really quite astonishing.
When there are alternative that require waiting less, those alternatives eventually get more eyes.
io_uring also caused a ton of problems for our containers in Kubernetes when Node 20 had enabled it by default. They scrambled and turned it off by default in https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/686da19abb
They literally temporary induce gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying), that is why some people may vomit food they ate 2-3 days ago.

It's kinda funny because you sorta fall into the same trap you accuse the GP of.

Your "Whatever the world was like when I was 20..." quote kinda boils down to "I am fine with the tools I already know how to use and, and I don't want to learn something new".

And then you say... you already have your 100 tools and don't want to learn any others.

Same deal, really.
> They should be a role model, and while they are a bit better than some on the list, they are quite far from what they could be.

The endless stream of illegal aliens put the lie to this claim.
I'm aware of the severity but I don't have a secure way of being contacted at the moment. I don't know when I'll have it up and running.

Most of my devices have been repeatedly compromised on a fairly consistent and continuing basis (bricked at the firmware level; routers, modems, phones). HFC-head end services appears compromised on the ISP side, reports have been made; tickets opened; and closed 30 days later with no correction, and no record on future calls so its all BS.

I have been bogged down in the process of recovering from backups. Its slagged enough hardware that I now keep SPI firmware and parallel memory chip backup images for my important systems prior to connecting them to a network, and its a real chore accessing the hardware to revert to known working good images for quite a lot of these component interfaces; often they are buried destructively under pads/thermal heat sinks.

I don't have an ETA, its minute detailed work, and working directly with hardware really isn't my forte.

> you might be extremely worried.

That's been fairly consistent since this came to my attention a few years ago, not for myself but for family and friends that might survive this.

In fairness, I think its likely I'll be dead from vaccine injury by the time this rolls around. Nerve-function and muscle loss are progressive and worsening, and its stumped every expert, and worsening symptoms after reintroduction of booster, and infection later (from the grocery store, C19) so odds aren't good.

I've done what I can, and dwelling on the things you can't control doesn't do anything but create misery.

I'm aware there are a number of things that can accelerate the timetable where it would happen sooner, some outlier things as early as late 2025, but those aren't likely to happen.

2029 is the point at which the economic system fails to socialism/communism with no action needed from anyone; just business as usual. From there, its a steady death march to full collapse and most don't have a clue.
They are not dead. The reason why WP took web by storm and Joomla and Drupal became less visible is that WP did a lot of work in instant usability - their 2 minutes’ installation changed the game imho.

Do you use your phone while it's plugged in? That's the number one killer of both cables and ports in my experience, especially since all phones now have the charging port at the bottom.
A 2200VA/1320W UPS will run a macmini on full load (50watts) for 2 hours. So it's safe to say 12-20 hours under normal load.

Show HN: I developed a mobile app to have digital candles at parties and events
Hi, I would like to show a mobile app I developed with a friend and hear your opinion for improvements.

A few months a friend of mine hosted a birthday party for his kid and when the time came to blow the candles of the cake, they realized they had forgotten to buy them. The day after he was explaining to me how he tried to find some "mobile app replacement" for such a use case but he could not really find anything that resembled the exciting action of blowing the candles. He and I are software developers, so we decided to try to make a mobile app for it. This could help anyone who either forgot to buy the candles for an event or they are simply not allowed to lit a fire on the premises because of any policy regulations.

As we were creating the concept in our minds we realized that the candles didn't need to look exactly like real ones. They needed to resemble them by having a flame, but the rest could be completely up to us, since we had the power of the digital world. This helped us create the eight candles that are currently available in the catalogue. We even paid a designer to make their animations :)

The Blo! app not only lets you get plenty of digital candles, but friends or family can receive them from you and whenever you want you can press a button to blow all of them at the same time (which displays the animation of how it happens simultaneously).

The first version of the Blo! app was supposed to offer the candles at a very low price. But after several months on Google Play and on Apple Store, the amount of people who actually paid a few cents in exchange for a digital candle experience was zero. We decided it was time to change it for something the users could experience for free, perhaps using ads to pay for the maintenance of the servers.

It's been a while now with this second version and we wonder if people will not ever use it at all. Maybe our design is fundamentally flawed or there is simply no interest to enjoy getting and blowing digital candles in a group at all.

We would love to ask you for your opinion and see if you would change how the app works or you think it could be improved.

You can find the app download links on this website: https://blo.cool/

Thanks a lot!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts :)
But the point is you can’t see these posts from a particular account. It makes interaction between the two accounts a bit more difficult and so a bit less likely.
> the much-heralded low recidivism rates in Scandinavia are substantially a reporting artifact rather than a meaningful difference in outcomes

First he says he knows recidivism in scandinavia is not low.

> Headline recidivism rates aren't really comparable across jurisdictions, because there are so many variables - what kind of offences lead to imprisonment, what counts as "reoffending", how long you follow up for, how likely people are to be arrested, charged and convicted etc. One study found that recidivism rates could vary from 9% to 53% based on the same underlying data, simply by changing the definitions. The more you try to standardise the methods, the smaller the difference in apparent recidivism rates.

Then when pushed his proof is that we cannot know that recidivism in scandinavia is not low.

Grade A bullshitter right there.
I tried, but then the look completely changes.
But interaction between accounts is still not possible?

Sounds entirely reasonable. You post something in public it is public. Blocking direct interaction is fine, but any expectation that other party cannot see your stuff is just insane. Only absolutely clueless or stupid should have believed that.

If you don't want someone to point out your stupid takes don't make them in public.
