This incident took place in December of last year, so 2-3 months after the student handbook would have been distributed and the in classroom review of the policy would have taken place. 2-3 months doesn't seem too long to expect a student to remember a policy.

if to use existing nuclear reactor tech and already existing, as tested by NASA (and drives Starlink satellites), ionic drive - about 3500 ISP - that focal point would take about 10 years to reach. I hope that SpaceX flights to Mars will, after the probably first chemical ones, be done using ionic drive with solar as it is just faster, thus getting tech developed and with adding nuclear for beyond Mars - so in 10-20 years we'll have the stuff flying. (note that "small" reactors - 100MW - we have for submarines, and with MS, ORCL, GOOG, AMZN getting into nuclear we'll have such small reactors productized into normal commercial use which will simplify space use too as commercial use require higher reliability/etc. compare to military)
Maybe that's the idea, but it deserves some polishing.

The main observation that this guy made one year ago was that airships benefit from the square-cube law. A truly gigantic airship can carry a load proportional to its volume, but experiences drag proportional to its cross-sectional area, so it ends up having very good fuel economy. But to get to this scale you need to be at least as big as the Hindenburg, preferably much larger.

But then it's difficult to see how you can deliver loads of a few hundred tons from point to point.

I think the guy would have a much better pitch if he sticks to the idea that the speed disadvantage is significantly reduced by the first and last mile overhead that impact equally both cargo jets and airships.
> Why do discussions about source-available models often turn into accusations of soliciting free labor?

Simple. Because the company literally wrote this in their press release[1] at the time they were releasing it.

Direct quote “This is an invitation to global
collaboration, where developers worldwide can contribute their expertise, ideas, and
passion to help this iconic software evolve.”

Further direct quote: “With this initiative to open the source code, Winamp is taking the next step in its history, allowing its users to contribute directly
to improving the product.”

They are literaly soliciting free labor.

This is how the press release ends: “Interested developers can now make themselves known at the following address:
about.winamp.com/free-llama” what is that if not a solicitation for free labour?

> anybody who does contribute does so under their own free will, under the terms set forth by the license

So wait. Just so I understand. Is your problem that you think they are falsely accused of soliciting free labour? Or that they are indeed fully were soliciting free labour but you would rather not want people harsh your vibes by discussing this?

I don't agree with overruling Chevron but saying "if they are going to try and override Chevron from the bench without legislation, then we have to ignore them" makes no sense because Chevron was not made by legislation in the first place. It was made by SCOTUS. It comes from the case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.
When you onboard at meta (circa 2020) the execs like to make vague references to this rare out of print book on media studies that they say presaged everything and explains a lot about how they think about their role in the media ecosystem. They liked to lift quotes from it to justify certain decisions or whatever. They encouraged you to buy the book “if you could find a copy”.

I like reading old books and philosophy so I found a copy. It was basically completely unfollow-able, and at best tangentially related to anything they were doing.

I think having some biblical text to appeal to, in order to justify what is otherwise completely self-dealing, self-serving behavior is some foundational principle of the VP lizard school in Silicon Valley.

It’s a sleight of hand. People will come up with brilliant illusions to distract you from the convenient hand that’s wrist deep into your coin purse.

Not to say there aren’t interesting or valuable intellectual ideas in these books — in Girard, or what have you. But ultimately you have to judge people objectively on the sort of behaviors they exhibit, not on the “illusions” of the intellectual or philosophical explanations they give for those behaviors.

Hi, I run the model serving team at Databricks. Usually you run regex filters, LLAMA Guard, etc on chunks at a time so you are still streaming but it's in batches of tokens rather than single tokens at a time. Hope that helps!

You could of course use us and get that out of the box if you have access to Databricks.
It's great seeing more tools in this space.

I was recently researching ways of anonymizing production data for staging, and I also found existing tools either cumbersome to setup or lacking in features.

I stumbled upon clickhouse-obfuscator[1], and really liked that it worked on standalone dump formats (CSV, Parquet, etc.) rather than any specific DBMS. I think that's a great approach for this, since it keeps things simple and generic, and it can be conveniently added as a middle step in the backup-restore pipeline. Unfortunately, the tool is quite barebones, and has issues maintaining referential integrity, so we had to abandon it.

This is still an unsolved problem in our team, so I'll keep an eye on your tool. We would need support for ClickHouse as well, so it's good you're planning support for other DBMSs. Good luck!

No. Censorship is when the government kicks down your door to arrest you for your wrongthink. People getting banned from some site or project because of obnoxious behavior is not censorship, it's just normal social activity and group homeostasis. They can always seek other ways to express themselves. They can buy a domain and blog about it.

Dang rate limited my HN account because I got into too many controversial discussions. Arguments just like this one. Did I call him out for censorship? No. I asked him to keep it rate limited. Because the truth is sometimes I see things and I just have to reply.

> Are you trying to refute my point that you end up tinkering if you are using Linux as a desktop?

Yes and no. Most of my point was about if you're on a tinkering distro like Arch (which the OP is). If you're on Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, or similar you can just not tinker and be totally fine. I did add too much about how to actually problem solve on linux because a lot of people go to the wrong sources and that's one of the biggest barriers to entry (and my frustration with Google).

Use Pop_OS. You do not need to tinker. Things should work just as smoothly as Windows.

What's the realistic capcacity limit for Starlink, with these upgrades ?

In the article they mention SpaceX claim of 'gigabit-speed, truly low-latency broadband and ubiquitous mobile connectivity to all Americans and the billions of people globally", but also mention that current speeds are 25-220 megabits and 4 milions customers.

The claimed 10x throughput could get people up to the gigabit speed, but that would work if the number of customers remain stable, right ?
WITCH?
> The responsibility to follow up is also you.

You are kidding, right? They don't get back to you, at all. After multiple emails and messages.

Ghosting by VC's communicates that you are so unimportant and beneath them as a person that they cannot even bother to exhibit the common decency of at least saying "Sorry mate, we are not going to pursue this". Not even that.

You are nothing to them, and they don't have a problem showing it.

I have found a few --very few-- exceptions to this. Very few. One hand, maybe two at the most. As an example, I have been bouncing emails back and forth with someone who has been traveling all over the world to various conferences since we first made contact, some six months ago.

I have been astounded by the respect and consideration he has shown throughout this experience. Astounded, because, by comparison, everyone else looks like inconsiderate assholes. He has taken the time to email me every week or two while keeping the conversation alive and actually apologized for not having time to engage. Coincidentally, he emailed me today. We are meeting next week as he passes by Los Angeles for yet another conference. That's a person I would love to work work with.
in other news, a long distance runner recently ran for forty days straight (?) with her support team feeding here 300 calories an hour. It was along the Appalachian Trail IIR. I wonder how many studies they do that cover that?

Instinctively attracted to the Kindle scribe because I love writing on books as I read them, however I've been disappointed by every device that's taken a crack at this, and I've tried them all. Nothing beats paper, which sucks because digital formats are infinitely copy able, backup able, etc.

I always wonder how they implement write-in-books. Never found a FOSS version. I wanted to add it to an android e reader maybe so at least I could try write in books on various Android tablets or a zfold. Failed at that too!
I had to yell at Red Cross once. I was getting calls maybe 2-3x a week to go donate blood in areas almost 200 miles away. It was obscene. The caller never could seem to understand why I wouldn't rush down there.
Yes, and beyond that, you also have the Rc<T> vs Arc<T> split, so if you're not doing multi-threaded, it's not even an atomic increment/decrement.

That said, this is just my intuition here, I've never seen a good benchmark trying to do the comparison, so I don't want to over sell it either. But a lot of times, it's like, "okay I have four threads so I need the refcount to go to four" and then it's just using normal references to actually use the value inside.
Too bad Apple's fear of I/O ruled out that kind of connectivity. No card slot, no external drive capability, and no video input.

No sale.
Lol during grad school my advisor would frequently cut me off and try to jump to a conclusion, while I was explaining something technical often enough he was wrong. So I did really buy him one (off eBay or something). He wasn't pleased.

> A private key, readable by any process you execute, without you noticing, that acts as a key to the kingdom?

You're lumping together the data and access that SSH keys protect (which might be actually nothing) with the key mechanism themselves. The private key itself can be armored or stored in a Yubikey itself, or you can even use more exotic ways of protecting it.

The public keys can be easily automated while the private keys stay safe somewhere. Systems like SSH Universal Key Manager or Userify are out there (both on-prem, and Userify also has saas) to make maintaining the public keys across huge swathes of servers relatively simple (or sometimes extremely simple).

And not just authentication, but authorization, too (usually through something like sudo or doas). Or you can just roll your own with Ansible or LDAP (not nearly as flexible when dealing with two axis of variations - users and servers, but still doable). SSH keys being easy to manage is extremely important, because when things are hard to manage, people open security holes, either through ignorance or to save time.

So, like all keys, yes, SSH keys can be a massive security liability if not properly secured, but they're not so (intrinsically), or even by default.

Fwiw, I have two phones (work and personal), two tablets (ipad and Android), 4 laptops (primary employer, client, personal, music productions), one main desktop for gaming, 4 intel nuc for various TV's and whatnot around the house and two Intel nuc for experimenting. Plus my wifes stuff.

Everything but employer stuff was cheap on Facebook marketplace. I am a bit on the tail end of my friends and coworkers but not by much. It's always been supremely convenient to be able to choose the form and location of my computing device. The cheap devices are largely disposable - I have several layers of backups. It is this perspective that makes passkeys seem strange, a Cartesian joint of many-to-many between my devices and providers that quickly gets... insane.

Actual article title: Benchmarking Qualcomm's NPU on the Microsoft Surface Tablet

Because this isn't about NPUs. It's about a specific NPU, on a specific benchmark, with a specific set of libraries and frameworks. So basically, this proves nothing.
DRF's serializers make it really easy to generate N+1 queries and it's a very opinionated framework that doesn't share many opinions with other frameworks. There is also no plan to bring async support to DRF, even though it's already present in Django itself.

If you want to make a Django API these days I'd lean towards django-ninja which essentially bolts Pydantic onto Django, in a similar fashion to how FastAPI leverages Pydantic ontop of an async flask-like framework.

I personally would just use FastAPI but I understand lots of folks have invested heavily in (or prefer) Django's ORM to raw SQL or Alchemy.

Didn't exist back then. Likewise SICP first edition was 1996.

I did have a copy of "LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" by Touretzky in 1986. It wasn't really that much better than any of the articles. It never explained why using Lisp would be so much easier than anything else even for simple programming tasks.

Had some of the Lisp hackers deigned to do stuff on the piddly little micros and write it up, things would look a whole lot different today.

Maybe there was a magazine somewhere doing cool stuff with Lisp on micros in the 1980-1988 time frame, but I never found it.
I agree, just thought I would mention. :)

>Stepping back from enforcing post-WW2 world order means letting China, Russia, Iran to freely install their satellite and unfriendly-to-the-US regimes around the world, by force if needed.

The US isn't going anywhere. In fact China has serious structural problems that may make all this conversation pointless. But there needs to be some sort of pathway for the global south to move forward. If that involves having China rise up and then countries accepting that all they can do is play the US and China off of each other to get the best deals out of them then thats still a step forward. If climate change comes to pass it may not even matter. The US and the West is the cause for the majority of the historical pollution yet its the unprepared global south that will bear the worst brunt of climate change. So the best I am advocating for is that the global south take one step forward and hope they don't end up five steps backwards in the long run.

>The GP says that they don't want to prop up foreign lifestyles because the middle class in the US is struggling but isolationism in the 21st century will not make things better for the US middle class. Nor for middle class of any other country really, although the GP doesn't care about those.

As to improving the middle class, we need to understand the structural reasons why they are sinking. Decades of erosion to US institutions has led to a situation that can only change if things get really bad and the citizens really demand change..or the US elite are challenged with some real competition. I dont see how it can happen naturally in the US anymore. Every time people get fed up, there is a "release valve" or a distraction in the form of crumbs offered to people so that enough settle down or fixate on something else. We saw it after the "Occupy Wall Street Protests" with the beginning of the culture wars as well as the passing of Obamacare which eliminated the most barbaric provisions of health care in the US. It is not meaningful change but it calmed people down. This method will lead to decades of the elite retaining their leverage. I dont want to see my life pass before my eyes and no real reform ends up happening.

In terms of the second method of having the elite being challenged, We saw in the cold war how the US system had to prove itself and that led to a strong taxation on the wealthy, good institutions, positive movement for the middle class, all to show the Russians that the US led system is the best. There currently is no forcing function to return to that situation at this time.
