> Now, in something like texting, I understand, when you're trying to type on that teeny phone keyboard. It's harder to hit the shift key when you don't have a spare finger because you're only using one.

Mobile operating systems (or is it just iOS?) by default turn the shift on automatically when starting a new sentence and are pretty consistently fast and right. It’s more surprising to me when someone doesn’t use proper capitalisation from mobile.

Damn, I feel like you explained how I experience my existence better than I could lol.

How other people experience it, I just have to do my best to imagine it.

I mean is not like I can’t get mad. It just takes way, way more I guess. Like if someone killed my pet or something I wound certainly be angry. But something like my phone UI just seems so trivial and so minuscule and unimportant in the grand scheme of life that it doesn’t seem to warrant getting angry at.

The apparent irrationality of getting angry at something so small and honestly meaningless compared to life seems to allow me to “ignore” it.
I'm willing to bet they make $100K+ every round they send these out. Everyone has to consider at least what to do with the email (ignore? accept if it's useful again? maybe just to stop getting bugged)
This is what's called a "false dichotomy"
I’m late to this thread, but my money is against the grifters. There is much to be said of technicians who k ow their craft and have solid experience and wisdom. I don’t think those of us who are in our 40s or 50s have anything to worry about. Time will tell, though.
That they sucked at marketing. Sure, I do. Your socratic method has been illuminating.
Rumours are that the original base model was a 16-way mixture of experts over 1 TB in size. With quantisation that would fit into 8x 80GB cards = 640 GB total. That is similar in size to competitive models. There’s also a practical benefit of being able to use 100% of a common platform such as a DGX server. Splitting across multiple servers is much more complex and less efficient.

Right now You and Arc are advertising it's ideal to position posts such as "Hidden Features in Arc Search" to users but security bulletins and remediations are something that need a hidden stopgap until you've scrambled to build an alternative site to hide them away at instead.

Browser security is more than finding the best PR strategy, it's a mindset that prioritizes the user's well being over the product's image. I've deleted my account and uninstalled Arc. Not because of the issue in itself, but because it's clear what the response has been aiming to protect (not my data).

Working in the office 5 days/week to build company culture is a myth: PwC report

> If we truly want secure products, we should shutdown all Windows machines?

There should be a period where you put a question mark.
What a joke. This role deserves way better, but I understand it's only been around since 2018.
This is why I tend to use flatpack browsers. Access to download to Downloads folder is really all they need on my system (for my needs, needs may vary by users)
They are subsidizing public transit to get to the office it says, but also the private jet for the CEO a 1000 miles away. Classism internally is a great way to encourage unions. I see why they are popping up.
I don't necessarily want docker containers running locally as some hobbyist, they might be just part of the process, and if the gui helps me move through that process efficiently without having to add more commands to my memory, I'm happy about that. CLIs are great, but when nearly everything has one, those small amount of commands become quite a lot in aggregate.
No, as we're saying repeatedly at this point-- the application itself needs to tolerate multiple delivery, because if the deduplication isn't atomic with the application's actions, incorrect behavior results. Stacking on top of TCP doesn't fix this.
Pagerank worked as long as no one knew what the metric was and the old, hyperlinked web existed.

Follow-up: Just learned that so far AM5 is actually a regression compared to AM4[0]. The best they can give is exactly 16 usable lanes (4 of total 20 reserved for chipset). Zen4c models only give you 10. Between this and Pluton I'm quickly losing interest in AM5...

[0]: OK, total bandwidth is still obviously up because we have gained a PCIe generation but still I'd have expected available lane-count to not drop.
I've had this live wallpaper for years and always liked it.
I don’t get why people need Kubernetes integrations. Kind works just fine. You run it from the terminal and it starts a “cluster” as one or more containers. You can define port bindings and volume mounts via the yaml config. Job done.

Also, nice work on Container Desktop!
Given that the full AWS setup that would replace that one server would cost closer to $6000-8000 / month, they could just use that money to buy a bunch of extra hard drives, a backup server, and hire a junior dev/sysadmin whose only job is to watch over it, still coming out ahead of AWS.
I have the impression that their sales/renewal side is kind of nasty.

I have a vanity domain for myself, and someone from their sales started cold-emailing me to sell me some crazy enterprise plan. After several being ignored they sent a real angry one demanding to be forwarded to someone else at my org (which, to be clear, did not exist).

Can't imagine what real companies get from them if just having a domain name was enough to get that.
Ongoing LLM 'comments bot' malfunction on YouTube
After a visit to Youtube to check out news on the Israel / Hezbollah conflict, I noticed the comment section is, at the time of this post, 50% malfunctioning LLMs spewing short messages containing random names, mainly English ones.

Presumably the actor's LLM is swapping its fake account names with its message bodies. Does make you wonder how widespread this is; if it's political, the comments are probably confined to middle-eastern conflict videos.

Vaguely interesting. To read them all does make a person entertain the Dead Internet theory.

This seems like a very pat dismissal of what upon reading further seems like a very reasonable critique of the industry. Vendors have been seriously exploiting their ability to decline responsibility for their product development decisions and that often has significant negatives for affected users.
Let me know when you can find a work from home advocate that admits it is rife with abuse.

Until then, it all sounds like game to me.
> If you are arguing that the reactionary ethos is about broader distribution of power

No, I literally exactly said the opposite, that you have to misconceptualize "liberal" vs. "conservative" as about change v. stasis rather than distribution of power to mistake "reactionary" for "liberal" and "anti-reactionary coalition" for "conservative".
Yes, I wrote the older Latacora one, which was based on thing I wrote under my own name before I founded Latacora; I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground saying Colin Percival had nothing to do with anything I wrote, since I wrote the first one as a rebuttal to Colin. (Did I misread you? Maybe we just agree.)
Everyone knows this is a way to do a silent layoff without a WARN notice or severance. Or a way to discriminate against older workers with families, who don’t live in city cores. Everything else used to justify RTO policies is a lie.
Like, people working multiple jobs at once? Doesn't that become pretty obvious?
I think it would be a fantastic idea for the government to surveil road infrastructure. We spend a crap ton of our GDP just on healthcare addressing the negative impact of traffic violence. Not to mention everyone knows someone that has been killed or affected by this. Outright saying the government shouldn’t monitor this is in bad taste.

You can argue that the solution is to stop doubling down on our bad investment, bad that is much less feasible than installing a bunch of traffic cameras.

Meta: I welcome the dog pile that will ensue.

It's essentially the same story as RAID Is Not A Backup.

Like with sync you have redundancy, but Lord Redundancy never said he was also also Count Time.
That aside, I wonder how much a coffee company's management/sales/etc truly need to be together in an office. With executives that have a certain type of personality, where the employees need to drink some of the kool-aid so to speak, a remote staff wouldn't work as well.
do you use any agentic prompting techniques?
I also had exactly the same experience. I ended up losing lots of documents.
"Office culture" has been used as an excuse for many bad decisions for a very long time.
yes, I think the tragedy of the commons is letting a few birds and deranged environmentalists get in the way of launching rocketships.

I see it the same way as if someone was holding up building a hospital because of an anthill, while children died waiting.
You’re right.

I work far more from home on average. When I worked from the office I had so many interruptions. We’d also take Wednesday and Friday afternoons to play table-top games. There was table tennis and foosball. Sometimes we’d all go out for lunch and it’d take 60-90 minutes. Now I just eat lunch at my computer, I don’t table top game or socialize. I just code and zoom all day.

The abuse is real, but since I’m not commuting it’s a great trade off of an hour wasted each way.
I used to feel the same way until Apple started dogfooding their ill-performing SwiftUI. The insane hardware packed into M1-3 chips compensates for it a bit (not always), but especially on my Intel mbp it can be jankier than most of the electron apps I interact with regularly. If VSCode was as janky as the "native" Settings app on macos I sure as hell wouldn't use it
No “research” that PwC publishes is worth the digital ink it’s printed on. It’s motivated by whoever is paying them to get the result that they want

I definitely trust PwC on matters of "culture."
Relational algebra has nothing to do with spinning disks or even for the needs of the databases of the time.

Check out E.F. Codd's paper in CACM from June 1970.
https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf

It starts with "Future users of large data banks must be protected from having to know how the data is organized in the machine (the internal representation)".

It goes on to say, "(The relational model) provides a means of describing data with its natural structure only - that is, without superimposing any additional structure for machine representation purposes".
Yeah, I think they were talking about distributed transactions, Redis only support transaction in a single instance, not in a cluster. You can not run Lua across machines.
LifeGPT: Topology-Agnostic GPT Model for Cellular Automata
The signage claims the _image_, i.e. the pixels, is deleted but makes no claims about embeddings, biometric measurements, etc that are generated from the image.
I also used a GPU shader-based approach (custom vulkan engine), but used a cellular-automata-first implementation for exploring and evolving through these emergent wonderlands.

Unfortunately, my writeup isn't anywhere near as coherent on the technical/engine details, and the actual code is a right mess. It's more focused on the pattern family design.

Overall, my results came out very similar to Lenia in many ways, and some discovered patterns also directly resemble reaction diffusion.

It's interesting that you have a Cassandra version. I usually think of Cassandra as a standalone database. Why would you layer one database on top of another?
What a great response.

And don‘t forget the 2 x 30 minute commute you converted to a solid hour of real work.

Yes, the abuse is real ;-)
It seems a consultancy has done some research, only to discover that the thing their customers want to be true is true. What a novel development!

I'd always understood that hybrid was the worst of both worlds. Companies still have to pay for real estate, can't recruit from neighboring cities, let alone internationally, and employees have to commute to work and live in expensive cities, just so they can work in loud offices and be micromanaged.
That’s why I’m surprised to see this. If this was bunk shouldn’t this reinforce what their clients what to hear?
Not if employees fight back.
A Thousand Plateaus: Capitolism and Schizophrenia

There's still information a.
G41,G68, S curve acceleration, and basic things for parking positions, pause, resume, single block, separate feed rate and rapid rate overrides, etc. Those would be pretty basic and important. Also, good gui driven probing routines, TLO calculators, and a sane tool library.
I have been trying to think of ways we could leverage digital signatures to prove that something isn't AI-generated, and it's really a fascinating topic to think about. It's hard to avoid making the leap from "this isn't AI generated" to "this exact person made this." Then there's the issue of ensuring that a person doesn't make ChatGPT write something, then copy and paste it somewhere else and sign it.

If anything, the hardest part of making an anti-AI proof system is ensuring people don't lie and abuse it.
> I meant "offensive" in the operational sense (as in, "going on the offensive").

The one alleged (with, AFAIK, strong evidence, and Ukraine just declined comment rather than denying it) Ukrainian use of anti-personnel land mines (others aren't banned by the treaty they are party to) was an operationally offensive use of rocket-delivered mines in and around Izium during the Summer of 2022.
worth noting that they aren't marketing them as real pandas, but as a sort of attraction (with signs labelling them as painted dogs)
Not just that - seems like it allowed running privileged JavaScript (full access to your system) on the preferences page as well.
It might be workplace specific. Most co-workers I know who went remote are 25-50% as productive as before. Only one or two did I suspect had a 2nd job. The rest were spending most of their workdays hiking, sailing, or playing with their kids.

Given the choice, I would rather lead an in office team 10/10 times.
The documentation for Django has consistently been cited in this forum as an excellent example of thoroughness and best practices.
Fire engineer arrested on suspicion of setting blazes in Northern California
I’m seeing more like $5k/mo with reservations but even at those figures … how many skilled DBAs are you getting for $72-96k? Don’t forget that rolling it yourself means you have to build and test all of the hardware, maintenance processes, backups, multi-data center HA, etc. yourself. That’s not junior trainee level work and some of it is ongoing (e.g. every OS and hardware change) or at intervals not of your choosing (say you discover a kernel or firmware issue when it’s crashing randomly - how many months of savings will be canceled out by pulling senior people off of whatever they’re working on?).

You can beat AWS on pricing but not like this. You need to be finding areas where you have a lot of baseline demand – enough to amortize the cost of all of the lower level work – and can cut some of the things they do which you don’t need. For example, if you can afford more downtime in a disaster scenario or can rely on an external rebuild process if the database backups turn out to be unusable.
We should stop begging the for profit house building industry to make affordable housing. Just use the army core of engineers and build the mega cities from Judge dredd.

Very cool stack.
Not that I'm aware of. Google Flights has good data (such as price change data), but it feels like any other search app. Adioso felt more like Pinterest in some ways, where I could have a vague idea of how I wanted to travel, and then explore different trips based on that. Even just big photos (IIRC) of different cities gave some idea of vibes.

I've looked for other booking sites that helped me determine where I want to go, but haven't found anything else similar sadly.
But this is not wifi, this is mobile antenna, they are usually significantly more bulky. I have no idea if it's justified on the sum of all things, I'm just saying it's a viable idea.
Yeah, some will.

If managers are incapable of detecting and handling that unless people are in their eye line in the office then the company has bigger problems.

I don’t think remote work encourages bad behavior on the whole. It may make what was already happening more obvious. But I think there are few good workers who become bad when remote. And they can stay in the office.

I think it makes poor management more obvious and bad techniques like enforcing butts-in-seats as a your main way of enforcing productivity.

I’ve seen plenty of people in my career do nothing or next to nothing all day. But they were in their seat clicking on things or typing so they must be “productive”.

Instead of forcing everyone to be in office, how about getting better managers through training or hiring?
I do have to point out that cloud hosted storage creates CO2 emissions, so if you aren't actually using it, that's not ideal.

That applies to commercial drones. This one has selfmade flight control electronics. 'Selfmade' as in using common of the shelf electronic components, not something locked down like from DJI fi.

What are you calling abuse? Not showing up for “company mandated fun time o’clock”?

Also, I hate to break it to you, but the employees that are “genuinely” abusing WFH and shirking work responsibilities are doing the same thing in the office.
Letting go of 80%of intel’s employees and the company is dead in weeks other than a skeleton crew of lawyers, bean counters, and top level execs stuffing their golden parachutes with maximum parachute.
Anecdotally, knowing many people that work from home, there is definitely abuse of the system. And those people are ruining it for the rest of us! But it would be absurd to think that if everyone was really more productive at-home, companies would still be forcing everyone back in the office. I don't believe the conspiracies—most workplaces really do want collaboration and productivity. The only bit I'll buy is that some are doing it as a form of soft layoffs. But I find it hard to believe that every company doing this would act against its own interests in terms of productivity.
If people had a better work/life balance, perhaps more would have the mental bandwidth to jump through an Olympic gold winning amount of hoops like you did.

The rest would probably use the extra free time to raise their kids/be with family.

My rule of thuwb is no tech company's consumer level promise is good for more than 2 years.

Why does software require so many urgent patches?

Conspiracy theory: creating new bugs they can always fix later is a good source of continued employment.

Of course there's also the counterargument that insecurity is freedom: if it weren't for some insecurity, the population would be digitally enslaved even more by companies who prioritise their own interests. Stallman's infamous "Right to Read" is a good reminder of that dystopia. This also ties in with right-to-repair.

At this point, I have to wonder what is even the point of missives like this. There are only two things that will solve the software quality problem:

1. Economic incentives. It's all just mindless blather unless you're actually talking about ways that software vendors will be held liable for bugs in their products. If you're not talking about that, what you're saying is basically "ok pretty please" useless.

2. Reducing the complexity of making products secure in the first place. Making truly secure software products is incredibly hard in this day and age, which is one reason why demanding software product liability is so scary. Professional structural engineers, for example, are used to taking liability for their designs and buildings. But with software security the complexity is nearly infinitely higher, and making it secure is much harder to guarantee.

The other thing that people often ignore, or at least don't want to admit, is that the "move fast and break things" ethos has been phenomenally successful from a business perspective. The US software industry grew exponentially faster than anyplace else in the world, even places like India that doubled down on things like the "Software Capability Maturity Model" in the early 00s, and honestly have little to show for it.
