This last week we would've probably all seen the photos of the gridlock on I-75 as Tampa Bay residents fled Hurricane Milton. If you followed the story you know it eventually became almost impossible to evacuate.

We should also know how much more efficient buses are on roads at moving people than individual cars are. You can fit ~60 people on a bus that takes up the space of ~2 cars.

What should happen in these emergencies is there should be dedicated bus lanes and dedicates buses to evacuate people.

But beyond that, what we should learn from this is that lack of public transit (intracity and intercity) is a public safety issue. Cars simply aren't an efficient use of resources.

You can see from the comments here people will talk about "subsidies" for rail. Why does rail need to turn a profit? Roads don't. The Post Office doesn't. The Fire Department doesn't. Yet for some reason we hold public transport infrastructure to a higher standard.

Americans, in particular, love their cars. And there has been a powerful lobbying operation to associate rail with tax increases. This is so short-sighted because nobody is confiscating your car. Fewer people on the roads will improve your driving experience and travel times.

We see in the UK that it's cheaper to fly to Spain than to take intercity train journeys. As far as I'm concerned, citywide rail (eg the Tube in London, the NYC Subway) should be free and intercity rail should have a nominal cost that is cheaper than driving.
The point of the content hash is to make it trivial to verify that the content hasn’t changed from when its hash was made. If you just make a uuid that has nothing to do with the file’s contents, you could easily forget to update the UUID when you do change its content, leading to invalid caches (or generate a new UUID even though the content hasn’t changed, leading to wasteful invalidation.)

Having the filename be a simple hash of the content guarantees that you don’t make the mistakes above, and makes it trivial to verify.

For example, if my css files are compiled from a build script, and a caching proxy sits in front of my web server, I can set content-hashed files to infinite lifetime on the caching proxy and not worry about invalidating anything. Even if I clean my build output and rebuild, if the resulting css file is identical, it will get the same hash again, automatically. If I used UUID’s and blew away my output folder and rebuilt, suddenly all files have new UUID’s even though their contents are identical, which is wasteful.
Thanks I think.
My general vibe is - we are still confounding "wow this is neat" & "this is really useful" in this space. LLMs will lead to some real use cases & products.

I think we are seeing spaghetti against the wall / LLMs as a hammer right now. A lot of what we are seeing thrown out there is a misapplication of LLMs that will slowly fade away.. It is likely other techniques / models are required for some of the applications people are throwing LLMs at.

Feels reminiscent of "blockchain".
Hundreds of thousands of people use public transit daily in America. Long headways, poor coverage, and lackluster maintenance budgets are a much more important problem than what you're describing.
The traditional lecture does have a lot of value, however, we are also quite certain that the instructional experience can be improved through the addition of visualizations and simulations. This is especially true for interactive visualizations where the learner can ask, "What if ...", experiment, and see the results of their interactions.

The lecture format is very old and would not have persisted if it didn't provide a good value. At the same time, it's age also implies that there is room for improvement.
Especially with shared key material that has an expiry in that future, that consumers aren’t aware of or wouldn’t understand if they were.
Also, one should check out Tenet, it's a pretty authoritative resource about this as well.
I think this is one reason why it is rarely expanded, people associate the stops as a way for criminals to get around; but I think usage is not great largely because it hasn't expanded...it's a self-feeding cycle.
> The reason nobody uses public transit in America is it's always packed with transients or dangerous people.

That's a lie told by people who sell fear as a product to people who always want new reasons to live in fear.
Who said rail industry should be profitable in the first place?

I would fully support if part of my taxes would subsidize rail industry and I get cheaper prices. Imo good use of tax dollars.
SHA256 has the benefit that you can generate the ETAG deterministically without needing to maintain a database (i.e. content-based hashing). That way you also don’t need to track if the content changes which reduces bugs that might creep in with UUIDs. Also, if typically you only update a subset of all files, then aside from not needing to keep track of assigned UUIDs per file, you can do a partial update. Reasons to do content-based hashing are not invalidated because of a new UUID format.

Since we're sharing anecdotes here.

Around 2012, I attended the very first coding bootcamp in SF. We had a demo day and a (white) recruiter from a local start-up came and literally only talked to every one of the white students (in a class that was half white) but none of the non-white students. Not a single one. When walking by a table with a non-white student, he would just said "excuse me" and squeezed pass. I looked up the company's website later and it was a 50-ish person start-up that was all white males, except 1 Asian girl who was a PM.

Now, I'm sure the people at this start-up would probably not think of themselves as "racist" (especially in liberal SF) even though this recruiter behaved in a racially exclusive way. But it really goes to show how subconscious these instincts are. This is why it's unfair to single out Indians/Chinese in this case as the only ones who have an in-group bias; every group has an in-group bias if we're really being honest here.

Having said that, the best tech teams I've worked in have been very diverse. They were high performant, but also had a great deal of trust in each other. I think it's because every one knows every one else is a high performer and trust each other's judgment. Nobody is just here because they "just gel with the vibes" and playing group-politics, which sometimes falls on racial lines.
Intel has such a CPU with the previous gen called the xeon AMX with up to 64gb of HBM on chip. It could use it a cache or just memory.
Sure, but you probably want some automated snapshot recovery on a node that has a quite recent replica. Restoring a complete backup might take hours or days, and in a desaster scenario you want to be back online within a few minutes. Probably even without manual intervention.

And at the same time you want so spin up a new replica to replace the lost one.

>Sometimes for real bugs you have to explain the impact with a good "look what I can do with this."

I'm not sure. Anybody that keeps up to date with security (e.g. those working in a security team) should know that ticketing systems also contains credentials sometimes. For example when Okta was breached, the main concern was that Okta support tickets contain.... session tokens, cookies, and credentials!

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/okta-says-its...

What's the point of having a security team that can't directly link external experience to their own system? Learning the same mistakes that have already been known?
It's meant to be an alternative to car drivers which are still gonna save over driving even with multiple hikes ahead.
Once you buy a game on Steam, you don't need to pay any kind of subscription to play it. The vast majority of games sold there are, in fact, one-time purchases. The games stay in your library even if the developer/publisher decides to delist them.

There are games like MMOs that do require a subscription, but that has nothing to do with Steam itself.
What subscription? And if anything it is only necessary for games with Steam DRM.
Thanks!

> Is there anything to stop it being used for video frames as well as audio?

Generally, the library is aimed at audio applications and follows the typical model of audio plugins: there is a process() function that takes an array of audio buffers and is called by the host application in the audio callback.

That being said, you could abuse the so-called "stream message" feature to embed images resp. video frames in the audio stream, but I'm not sure how practical that would be... Someone should try it :)

Check out the section "Use cases" in my article: https://www.soundingfuture.com/en/article/aoo-low-latency-pe...
For those not familiar with how this works/worked: At most universities, a similar fee was collected from all students. That was then used to finance a regional "public transport flatrate".

N.b.: mk89 is technically not quite correct, it wasn't free (nothing in life is). It's usually bundled with the tuition/enrollment fee.

Implementation details differed per University, but for us the fee (80 or 100€, can't recall) was socialized across all students and payed together with the tuition fee; opting out was not possible (with some exceptions, like disabilities). The money went from the University administration to the AStA - the "general students council" (the executive section of the elected student self-government). The AStA then negotiated with the local public transport company/companies as well as with the Deutsche Bahn (e.g. to get access to certain inter-regional train connections - we still have cooperations with 3 or 4 nearby universities, and students somehow need to get there).
Those negotiations can be a royal pita, and often the students were in a weak position.

Source: I was in the AStA (~12 people), but not involved with that task.
I used to use proportional pitch fonts for telega.el and certain document buffers, but I stopped because I find that with Jetbrains Mono (for me personally) there isn't any benefit even for longer text. I'd rather have everything be uniform.

Emacs is perfectly capable of rendering other fonts, too, though.

I was thinking `NOT (1|2)` and `NOT () 2` could make sense if the parser just has a `not_in_effect` flag that gets set to true when a `NOT` is encountered and then applies to the next integer as soon as one is parsed. So `NOT (1|2)` sets the flag, then starts parsing `(1|2)`. Once it's parsed the `1`, it notices a NOT is in effect so it applies it to the 1 as if it had just parsed `NOT 1` (which leaves 0 unchanged), then parses `| 2`, so the result is 2.

`NOT () 2` would be the same logic. `)` signifies the end of an expression and thus evaluates to the current integral result, which is 0 (for the same reason that unary - is zero), and a NOT is in effect so it's treated as `NOT 0` which is a no-op ("unset no bits"). Then the next `2` makes the result `2`. This assumes that `x y` is parsed the same as `x | y` (maybe only if a `NOT` has been parsed at any point first) or as `y` (the same stack-like "the last number that was parsed becomes the result" behavior described in other items).

This doesn't explain the `7 NOT NOT 4 NOT 2 NOT NOT 1 = 2` case though. If the parser just *sets* the `not_in_effect` flag when it encounters a `NOT` (instead of *toggling* it), then this would be `7 | NOT 4 | NOT 2 | NOT 1` which would be 0. If the parser does toggle the flag, this would be `7 | 4 | NOT 2 | 1` which would be 1 or 5. If the parser treats a `NOT` as ending the previous expression (if any), this would be `7 | NOT 0 | NOT 4 | NOT 2 | NOT 0 | NOT 1` which would be 0.

You mean the other way around.
I wish public transit served homeless people as well as a lot of folks like to imagine it does.

A lot of homeless aren't "transients." They aren't just passing through.

If we had excellent public transit to make it easier for homeless people to travel at will, maybe they would be. And maybe their lives would be overall better and they would get less open hatred for being poor and unhoused in a world making it increasingly challenging to get housing for far too many people.
Yes, to put a point on it -

How many dollars per month would someone be willing to spend for a chatbot that has a 3rd graders ability at math? Personally, $0 for me.

But what if it's a PHD Math degrees ability at math? Tons, in some applications it could be worth $100s or $1000s in an enterprise license setting.

But what if it's unpredictably, imperceptibly question to question, 95% PHD and 5% 3rd grader? Again, for me - $0. (not 95% of $1000s, but truly, $0)
It looks like both games ended up being released at the same time
> lack drive and take longer PTO and their work isn't really that adequate.

People sometimes come to realize important things when they mature. This may include insights like "there's a life happening outside work waiting to be lived". Or acquiring a better sense where it pays to spend time and energy for maximum effect and where it is wasted.

> Blaming interns or junior engineers for simple mistakes, which the senior which also should have seen.

Juniors making simple mistakes really doesn't rhyme with the rest of what you said. Are they

a) Brilliant people, able to replace seniors while being paid a pittance for working their ass off?

or

b) Actually inexperienced and still have to learn a lot until their output has the required quality?

> Not training interns or junior engineers to become senior and be given more responsibility

Any junior waiting to be taken by the hand and shown the path to greatness through careful and detailed tutoring by colleagues I can recommend only one thing: Learn to learn by yourself. Fast. Your colleagues are busy with their own work and tutoring you very often has very little bearing on their current goals, compensation or career prospects. It is thus one of these areas where they have learned not to spend much time and energy. (Though some people have strong altruistic tendencies and/or find it satisfying to mentor and teach, but that's an intrinsic motivation which is either there or it isn't. When you run into someone like that: Lucky you!)

On a more calculating note: As you have let on that you think juniors are viable replacements for senior while being cheaper, the seniors might not be very motivated to bring their replacements up to speed...

> we are all aware of the bus factor here

As an employee, that's generally not much of a concern.

> All the while where some really smart interns or junior engineers come out of prestigious institutions

I suggest you attempt to hire them. I wish you the best of luck!

> I am a senior engineering manager looking to take on interns.

Do it. It's going to be a valuable learning opportunity for everyone involved. Including you.

Hey! I was responsible for developing this.

Not speaking for OpenAI here, only myself — but this is not an official SDK — only a reference implementation. The included relay is only intended as an example. The issues here will certainly be tackled for the production release of the API :).

I’d love to build something more full-featured here and may approach it as a side project. Feel free to ping me directly if you have ideas. @keithwhor on GitHub / X dot com.
I don't consider any of that to be credible proof.
Counter-Strike's Dust II runs purely within a neural network on an RTX 3090
except it was completely non-specific about what those flaws might be, simply saying "sample is too small" when the sample is not a priori too small for a properly designed study of something that has "noticeable" effect. For example, "does alcohol get people drunk" is not hard to show on a sample of 10 people.
I thought this was a cool idea, so I looked around for existing implementations and found https://github.com/barre/privaxy

Businesses want businesslike documents, and mere PDF already has enough security issues. What you're describing sounds far too much like Adobe Flash.
The reason is the same reason these issues come up in Motorsports. In reality, technology matters. And sponsors (Nike, Pirelli, etc) are attracted to the sport in part for that reason. Sports don’t exist at the level they do without sponsors. So it’s a synergistic thing. The governing body has to come up with rules, and try to enforce them.

Why don’t they use recumbent bikes at the Tour? They are way faster, way more aerodynamic. But the rules prohibit it because bike companies think (almost certainly correctly) that they won’t sell like normal bikes due to the myriad issues with them.

People may think that something as simple as running is “pure” but they are just uninformed. Aerodynamic skin suits are useful in running (and have been used to win gold at the Olympics).

The worst part about this sad status quo is as games are removed from sale they will probably never be able to be lawfully obtained again because the IP ownership fragments and gets lost through descendants and bankruptcies and acquisitions. Meanwhile the people who bought them are told they only have “licenses” that can’t be transferred or bequeathed.

It will all just disappear forever within a few decades.
> Although the researcher did initially submit the vulnerability through our established process, they violated key ethical principles by directly contacting third parties about their report prior to remediation. This was in violation of bug bounty terms of service, which are industry standard and intended to protect the white hat community while also supporting responsible disclosure. This breach of trust resulted in the forfeiture of their reward, as we maintain strict standards for responsible disclosure.

Wow... there was no indication that they even intended on fixing the issue, what was Daniel hackermondev supposed to do? Disclosing this to the affected users probably was the most ethical thing to do. I don't think he posted the vulnerability publicly until after the fix. "Forfeiture of their award" -- they said multiple times that it didn't qualify, they had no intention of ever giving a reward.
Remember that it cost a small rent to get this subscription until the 9€ experiment. Flat fee national transport, I don't remember the exact price but it's multiple hundreds a month in both the Netherlands (NS altijd/trein vrij) and Germany (Bahnkarte 100). Even my local subscription to go ~10km between two cities in Germany (NRW) cost 90€ a month until that experiment

A nationwide subscription for 60 euros is a steal, even when the long distance trains are excluded
You're giving him too much credit.
>It's still in a class of pure "guessing" because just because something looks "correct" early on is meaningless two steps into the future.

It's true that a "good" decision now might turn out to be "bad" later, but whether it's effective in improving a solution depends on the fraction of times that happens, which is almost certainly not 50%. Hill-climbing methods like this are used everywhere in optimisation when you want a decent solution quickly and don't require optimality.

It seems the problem might be that pricing is judged independent from externalities. Same with cars and roads.

Not really, if the game is DRM-free (which is the case for all games on GOG and even some on Steam, plus the Steamworks DRM that most games use is very easy to bypass if there's nothing else in addition to it), you effectively do own it.
