> From metrics, computing AWS signatures takes up an absurdly large amount of CPU time. The actual processing of events is quite minimal and honestly well-architected, a lot of stuff is loaded into memory rather than read from disk. There's syncing that happens fairly frequently from the internet which refreshes the cache.

Oh, sounds nice! Caching in Elixir really is nice.

Okay, that makes sense. Elixir isn't fast at pure compute. It can actually be slower than Python or Ruby. However, the signatures likely are NIFs (native code). If the AWS signs are computed using NIFs then the CPUs are likely just can't keep up with them. Tokens would make sense in that scenario. But you should check the lib or code you're using for them.

> The big problem is each event computes a new signature to send back to the API. I do have to wonder if the AWS signature is 99% of the problem and once I take that burden off, the entire system will roar to life. That's what makes me so confused because I had heard Erlang / Elixir could do on the scale of significantly more per minute even with pretty puny hardware.

Yeah, crypto compute can be expensive especially on older / smaller cpus without builtin primitives. Usually I find Elixir performs better than equivalent NodeJS, Python, etc due to it's built in parallelism.

Also one thing to lookout for would be NIF C functions blocking the BEAM VM. The VM can now do "dirty nifs", but if they're not used and the code assumes the AWS signs will run fast, it could create knock on effects by blocking the Beam VM's schedulers. That's also not always easy to find with Beams built in tools.

On that note, make sure you've tried the `:observe` tooling. It's fantastic.

> One thing I am working on is batching then I am considering dropping the AWS signatures in favor of short-lived tokens since either way, it's game over if someone gets onto the system anyway since they could exploit the privilege. The systems are air-gapped anyway so the risk is minimal in my opinion.

Definitely, seems logical to me.
> Never mind that computers and internet access is ubiquitous enough these days that "using the family computer" for this sort of thing isn't really needed in the first place.

I'm just glad you're not in charge of this kind of services because although that might seem like an obvious thing to you, the reality is that the people needing that information the most are the ones who are the least likely to have easy access to a personal device with Internet access.

In particular, children and women in dysfunctional, abusive relationships are not very often provided with a smartphone and a data plan by their abusers.

I agree that the shift shortcut is unlikely to be of much use, but it's just one available method in addition to the rest.
WhatsApp is huge in the EU, we don't really text much here; I'm guessing you are from the US. Meta has full access to that.

>This is very different from the global market share, where Android has 45% more.'

This case is about US antitrust law, so what happens outside US borders isn't really that important, except as far as it affects the companies' revenues and profits. Supposedly, the actions of any antitrust action are to protect consumers/the general public, but what that really means is consumers in the US. Consumers outside the US are irrelevant. And the simple fact is that, by your own numbers, consumers in the US are mostly using iOS, not Android.

This sounds like something which you have no evidence at all for claiming.
> feels just as fake

I suspect some of the controversy is fake. I've heard one of the previous 404 articles, alleging Wordpress training AI on self-hosted Wordpress sites, is fake according a semi-trustworthy source.

Speaking based on my gut feeling, the fact that so many low-caliber Wordpress controversy articles are all arising in quick succession seems odd to me. Some allegations seem credible, but I question to what degree they are newsworthy, given all the other scummier things corporations and institutions do these days. Perhaps now that Wordpress and Tumblr are owned by the same company, Wordpress is now seen as a more valuable target to attack.
Well they are hashed and salted, I don’t think you can get a lot out of that.

The old ways would have been to buy ads on warhammer.com, or the Warhammer magazine, sponsor the annual Warhammer convention, run a tournament, and so on. The money, in that case, may largely stay within the ecosystem, rather than going to some investment fund owning shares of google.
Why are you building images at home for upload?

In my experience, it’s much easier to upload code or commits and build/push artifacts in/from the datacenter, whether manually or via CI.

It can be as simple as exporting DOCKER_HOST=“ssh://root@host”. Docker handles uploading the relevant parts of your cwd to the server.

I have a wickedly fast workstation but spot instances that are way way faster (and on 10gbps symmetric) are pennies. Added bonus: I can use them from a slow computer with no degradation.
That's cool but people need to ship products while their ideas for improvement are endlessly debated, bikeshedded and possibly rejected eventually.

At the end the standard is never what they exactly wanted. So it's kinda a futile effort, and for what? Most don't write code for 3rd party consumption, where standards shine.
> should email addresses be private?

I dunno. Should your personal phone number be private? Or your home address? Would you be okay if I knew it and shared it with a stranger? Or would you rather be asked permission to share it first?

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Yeah, there's going to be someone out there (there always is) who doesn't care, but I'd wager the majority would be pretty ticked off if you gave those pieces of information out to a rando on the street.
There is. But Matt's BS "They've done nothing for WordPress but leech and freeload and give back nothing to the community" is patently false.

Don't even start me on how "President of the WordPress Foundation, Matt Mullenweg", accepted their sponsorship check and then disinvited them from the event because they were in a conflict with "President of Automattic, Matt Mullenweg", and wouldn't even return the sponsorship check. In essence, if nothing else, that makes it a donation, because they sponsored the event, but got nothing for their sponsorship except knowing they... uhh... contributed to the community.

It's probably way more complicated than that. Ever seen the cold start disaster recovery procedure for a big system with identity and encryption-at-rest and message busses involved? You might be lucky if the bring-up doesnt have any individual stages that take a week to quiesce all by themselves. I know that this system probably isn't all that big, but if I assume their server-side software is as low-quality as their embedded software, I can easily imagine it being that complex and interdependent and poorly documented.
It says it's remote though, so doesn't seem too bad?
Hello everyone, today the creatures from namecheap.com again changed the price of my sell domains: alfa dot kids, alfa dot mom and 1-dollar-vps dot com from 5 to 30 dollars, without my permission!!! A week ago I wrote here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41724279 about the domain 1usdvps dot com, only after the discussion on hacker news namecheap did not change the price and allowed me to sell the domain. If anyone knows where I can write a complaint against the company, please write to me.

I have been a client of Namechiap for 7 years and have always recommended them as a good company, now the company has turned into shit! I advise no one to deal with these freaks!

Have a nice day!

I think this is a reasonable response if it is made in response to what the Tweet author linked.

Users are confused as to whether or not paying for a license for ACF Pro (a highly popular custom forms plugin for Wordpress, published by WP Engine) constitutes as being "economically related to WP Engine" and might impact their agreements with Wordpress.org

In response to this confusion, Matt Mullenweg told those users to consult an attorney. Unfortunately for most users, consulting an attorney before agreeing to login to a website is not a financially viable option.
Computational physicists have been thinking about algorithms for simulating quantum systems essentially since computers were invented. We have decent algorithms for approximating ground states, or for systems in equilibrium (contingent on it being spin-balanced, or at half-filling, or at 0 density, ... depending on the model), or in other limited circumstances.

But lift any of those special restrictions, and simulation methods hit a sign problem [sign]. In particular, real-time evolution of quantum systems, which is what a quantum computer does by its very nature, poses in some sense the most difficult sign problem for approaches leveraging classical computing.

That's not a proof that classical algorithms can't become more capable, but it's almost certainly a question that must be answered system-by-system. The generic sign problem is NP-hard, so special-case reasoning is required.

Some providers allow you to use Alias emails (I think google redirects mail to ia+mymail@gmail.com to mymail@gmail.com), and if you use your own domain, you can just use a catchall redirect and enter a random address (ia@mydomain.com which goes to catchall@mydomain.com).
Not only is there not much evidence backing the Peter Todd theory, but there are many issues with it:

1) Why wouldn't he have used his Satoshi identity to discredit Craig Wright and save himself and fellow core developers a lot of pain and suffering?

2) Why wouldn't he have spent any of his large BTC stash?

3) Why is he fine being known as an early Bitcoin developer and adopter, but not fine being known as its creator?

4) How would he have a copy of the "20th Symposium on Information Theory in the Benelux", given that it was only distributed to attendants and university libraries in the Benelux?

5) How would he have gotten his hands on the British version of a newspaper on 03/Jan/2009?

Due to 1), I highly doubt that Satoshi remained an active member of the Bitcoin community following his departure. The fact that he stayed silent during the "block wars" and the Craig Wright shitshow shows a complete indifference towards Bitcoin or more likely, that he was dead or incapacitated.

I'm not saying Sassaman is Satoshi, but simply that Sassaman is a much better candidate. This is a picture that Sassaman took of his office in 2007: https://www.flickr.com/photos/enochsmiles/488460964/. Notice anything interesting?
Just in case someone from American Lease is reading this, I’d be willing to migrate their servers for less than a million.

Jokes aside, after reading the comments here, I doubt anyone with technical knowledge would believe this. Even with certificate pinning, you can simply dump the firmware as a raw binary, replace the certificate with your own, and upload it back to the car.

And even if the source code is lost, you can still sniff the traffic and implement an API. I did this for my previous employer, who had a collection of expensive, locked devices. It took me about a week, without any prior knowledge or experience. Imagine what someone with more experience could do...
Please note that the AGPL is not "specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community", only that downstream users have access to the source code of network services that they are using.

Also, the AGPL does not prevent commercial use and is fairly easy to comply with as a business, so it might not be the right license to use if you want to prevent other companies from competing with you.

> The reality of the world is that product holds the money and software development is seen as a cost center to be minimized towards zero.

This is only true for mediocre companies. Software development is really a force multiplier, not a cost center. A good optimization for a proprietary app saves time for everyone at the company that uses the app, or for your customers if the app is a product. Also important is that the developers can dramatically alter the cost structure both for the current set of features, as well as the future support and additional features. Product faces outward, helping prioritize features for customers. Development faces inward, minimizing tech debt and future work for the company. Both halves are needed to design and build a good product in a reasonable amount of time.
There is software which is intended to e.g. locate the GitHub profiles of people working at companies, then scrape all public repositories they've contributed to for their email address and the emails of their coworkers - to enable targeted advertising to those individuals. Very common in enterprise sales.

With ChatGPT, this can be extended to create emails that look very personal - as if someone has followed all of your work and is genuinely interested in what you are up to - with extremely low effort. And people are already doing this, I already get emails like this today.

Should emails be private? I don't know - I personally consider them to be public because I know for a fact mine will eventually be public whether I like it or not. But I am aware AI is out their slurping up every public communication I've ever had, and is likely trying to manipulate me in various ways already today.

Many providers support plus addresses like bob+servicename@example.com. Servicename can be anything and doesn’t require any setup.
and, topologically speaking, it's equivalent to a coffee cup!
You probably meant "static" or "strong", not "strictly".

Regardless, both are still not right, since Elixir is getting a gradually-typed set-theoretic type system. It's been in the works for a few years now.
There are plenty of countries where all that is public information, back in the day there even used to be a phone book with .. name, phone number, and address. And many countries have this now in digital form.
It's quite trivial.

1. Buy a domain. About $10/year for a .com

2. Buy a /24 ipv4 block with good reputation (maybe like $10k)

3. Get a rack in a nearby datacenter, rack up a BGP-capable router and your servers for redundancy to run email. Takes about $30k initial setup costs if you buy all new, and about $5k initial setup costs if you cut corners and buy used. It'll be $2k/mo after that, so less than the cost of 1 $100 avocado toast per day, quite affordable.

4. Setup your mailserver of choice, such as dovecot + postfix. Enable either a catch-all address, or use recipient_delimiters. The former means "anything@domain.com" works, and the latter means "user-anything@domain.com" works (assuming your recipiient_delimiters are '-'). I recommend using a real catchall.

5. Setup your spam setup, this is the hardest part. I have no guidance here.

6. Point your DNS over, setup SPF and DKIM records, test, and off you go! This should all take about 1 to 3 days if you know what you're doing.

7. Find out that some email will go to spam anyway because you're not using one of the big 4 email providers, but it can't be helped, and anyway no one uses email anymore.

And after that, for less than $30k/year, you have email with catchall or subadressing support. Nice and easy.

You can also pay Fastmail for email and use their "catchall" feature https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000277942-Ca...

Or Google Apps also has a catchall feature.

Then, after you do this, you can simply give internet archive the email address "internet-archive@mydomain.com", or generate a random string. If you forget the email you used, you can search your email history for the first email they sent you, and check the To field.
Backup / duplication is not an easy project for sure. But meanwhile for now IA is a single organization operating under one legal system. And one technical setup, would be relevant today. That's a major weakness.
> What does "think about your memory layout" mean?

Here are some of the typical concerns:

- How exactly fields of a record sit in memory, how much room do hey take, taking into account things like padding for aligned access?

- Are related data sit next to each other, and can stay in the CPU cache together while needed?

- Are chaotic memory accesses thrashing the cache?

- Do the data structures avoid gratuitous references / pointer chasing (at least mostly)?

- Are local variables mostly allocated on the stack?

- Does your code avoid heap allocations where possible?

- Do fields in your data structure match a binary format, such as of an IP packet, or a memory-mapped register?

- Are your sensitive data protected from paging out to disk if free RAM is exhausted?

If these questions are not even relevant for your problem domain, you likely are not doing systems programming.
Alright, so here's the deal - I'm actually a tech support guy by trade. Never really messed with development before. But man, these last couple years, AI's been blowing up so fast that even a half-baked coder like me can whip up a website with a little AI magic.

Things have been kinda tight money-wise lately, you know? So I figured I'd try my luck overseas and see if I could make a buck or two. That's how I got into this whole website building gig.

This site here? It's my 7th creation. Out of the first 6, three were WordPress jobs - barely any real coding there. The 4th one was a simple static page I cobbled together with JS, HTML, Tailwind, and threw it on the cloud. Just for practice, you know?

For number 5, I jumped on the Next.js bandwagon that everyone's been raving about. Hooked it up to some third-party API to make an auto image expansion site. It hasn't really taken off yet though. Weirdly enough, I added a ton of backlinks, but Google Search Console only picked up on the one from V2EX.

Site number 6? Just recycled the same template.

Now, here's what I've figured out from all this: You don't gotta build out all the fancy features right off the bat. Just slap together a landing page, nail the SEO, and once you're climbing up those Google rankings, then you can worry about adding all the bells and whistles.

Take my previous site (aiexpandimage.org) - I knocked out that landing page in a few hours tops. But the actual features? That took me a good week or two. Right now it's hovering around 64 in Google rankings on average. Gotta keep building those backlinks and getting the word out.

Learning from that, for my 6th site (ai-hug.org), I just focused on the landing page. Get that SEO juice flowing first, you know? Once the traffic starts rolling in, then I'll build out the core features and payment stuff. Actually, I just finished setting up payments and scored my first subscription - 5.9 bucks, baby!

So now, I'm riding this new trend with a Flux site (flux1.one). Same deal - no main features yet. Gonna get those rankings up first, then worry about the rest.

That's the scoop, dude. Pretty wild ride so far!
