you can get certificates for an IP, but they're rare. How it generally works is the DNS server says Google.com is at w.x.y.z IP address, your browser talks to that, it gives you a certificate, (skipping a few cryptography steps for simplicity,) you computer checks the certificate coming from Google.com as being valid, without checking w.x.y.z, and then encrypts your connection and shows the green lock icon.

If the DNS server is bad, it'll return e.v.i.l as the IP, your browser will talk to that, but it can't give a certificate that your computer thinks is valid. so your protected from accidentally logging in to a fake bank website, but also you can't access the correct bank website, so there's still a denial of service problem.

The certificate authority (CA) that gives out the certificates has to verify you own the domain that you're asking for the certificate for. One method is to look up the IP, but as that's problematic if they get the wrong IP, they usually check that from multiple places all over the world.

It's not that much, but it's also not nothing. The input file of the challenge was very narrow, just a relatively short text column and a numeric value. It still is >13 GB uncompressed; an actual table with a few more columns with 1B rows will easily be beyond 100 GB. And chances are it's not the only table in your database, so it won't fit into RAM of most common database machines. I.e. still a non-trivial dataset in most contexts.
wasmer is a software to run a wasm binary locally like an app.

wasm is a web standard supported by browsers and lets this wasm binary run in the browser.

Garry Tan on Spotting Extreme Winners, Advice for Founders in AI
A very humane post, thank you.

I'd argue that the universal quantifier "all people are not trained" should be changed. Surely we can say that some people are trained in at least some of the tools to fight stupidity we, humanity as a whole, developed over the millennia. So a phrase like "not all people are trained" seems to be more on the mark to me.

Beyond that I have little to say of substance, but I am curious. How do you fit "stupid actions", like putting your cat into a microwave oven, racing downhill on a gravel road in a shopping cart, or not running away from a blazing fire, into this framework? Is this a failure of reasoning, and therefore lack of training? (Training understood as guided or unguided learning) Is all stupidity avoidance empirical or are there stupidities (as an ontological object, LOL) that could be avoided on first principles?

Well, we do keep building bigger and bigger antennas and antenna arrays. So while Voyager can't change, we do. And we can build more and more sensitive (i.e. noise rejecting) equipment.

X is 8–12 GHz and S is 2–4

I don't know much about the Voyager design but the beam width is related to the frequency and so the S-band transmitter will have a larger beam width and thus can point less accurately that the X-band when trying to talk to Earth. Conversely, X-band is higher frequency than S-band and it's likely they would be able to use more bandwidth. So, interesting trade offs.
> But very few people buy cars of this size in Australia. Kia is about the only manufacturer left offering them, and it's very much a niche car despite being the cheapest on the market.

This doesn't appear to be true in my experience. Accent, Corolla hatchback, Polo, Golf, Yaris - these are all cars you'll see every day in any Australian city. And whilst tradies buy utes (we don't call them "pickups"), I doubt at least in the consumer vehicle market they dominate.

All of my friends wanted my mom's recipes when they came round for my birthday. Now I realised she doesn't store anything - it's all in her head!

Then the same thing happened with my girlfriend although she writes hers down in a diary (how old school).

And then I noticed so many food influencers posting their recipes in the descriptions of their tiktok/insta posts.

And then as I started searching for recipes online, I found the websites full of ads and popups and terrible UI. I only cared about the ingredients and the method. So I created this, and have been having a lot of fun with it.

I hope to see up and coming food influencers using this as a platform directly to link with their social media posts, engaging and competing with an already interested audience.

As a configurable feature, this would be a killer option.

Personally, I'd love an 8k which could act as two 4k in the middle, and two vertical 1920x4320 sides.

I use vertical monitors for documents, documentation, and word-processing.
I had a similar experience using a 43" 4K TV as my monitor, it was an OLED so the picture was absolutely beautiful but I'd end up only using the 32" in the middle of the display. I'm now using a 32" 4K display on my desk which is about the sweet spot for me, lots of real estate, and I can see all of it.

I think it's better at specifying intent, similarly to how you would use "for" and "while" in a programming language even though they are literally the same thing and more often than not they compile to, respectively, identical query plans and identical asm/bytecode.

Also if you work a lot with databases you often need to do outer joins, a full cartesian product is almost never what you want. The join syntax is more practical if you need to change what type of join you are performing, especially in big queries.
It feels like the Samsung tactic which consist of flawding their competitor with order requests to prevent them from developing their product only to stop commands afterward and put them in financial difficulties.

That needs further elaboration, also in which way they would be better or best? While they might be fundamentally different (JVM will use only conservative GC, while Lisp runtime support allows and might favor precise GC), I for one would be very surprised if collectors with the highest throughput or least latency are found in a runtime support system for a programming language used by academia thirty years ago, rather than in one used by profit-oriented organizations for large data systems or games.

And while, e.g. SBCL is used commercially (google flights comes to mind), its GC isn't its forte.

It's like worrying about moving bits on a hard drive, or writing nice machine code. Eventually you just won't care. AI / LLMs interacting with code bases in future won't care about structure, clearness, conciseness etc. They'll tokenize it all the same.
Will OpenAI only use the chips internally? Are they usable by other models like Llama or Claude?

Also worth bearing in mind that EVs of an external size similar to an ICE car are often a class above in terms of internal space due to the packaging of the motors getting pushed out to the extremes of the vehicle.

I didn't knew much about Scientism; the wikipedia page already contains quite a few heavy critics. Its very definition feels inconsistent:

> Scientism is the belief that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality.

While it may be true locally in time, science may transcend itself over time. Furthermore, some aspects of the scientific development are poorly studied/understood/taken into account in how we do science, such as all those discoveries stemming from dreams & cie[0]. Einstein in particular was well-known to have had many valuable insights while being in a half-asleep state.

That's to say, objectively, the evolution of science is shaped by chaotic events, which AFAIK isn't embraced by contemporary institutionalized science. Perhaps because it's too close to the content of religions of old.

I just answered the same questions on Twitter [1], so just quoting that:

Neon is a lot more feature-rich right now (since PPG just came out) and has awesome stuff like branching.

On the long-run, we expect to have a similar feature set. Additionally, our underlying tech has the benefits of avoiding cold starts and likely being more cost-effective.

That being said, I see it as a major benefit that with Prisma you not only get a DB but an entire data layer (incl global caching and real-time DB events) thanks to the first-class integration of our other products like Accelerate and Pulse [2].

If you're visiting Shinjuku, nearby there's a narrow street called Omoide Yokocho. Just take in the vibe and choose a yakitori spot to grab a bite and drink your poison of choice (tea/beer/sake). I would recommend going at night/dinner time.

Speaking of Shinjuku and videogames, if you've ever played any yakuza/like a dragon game, you owe it to yourself to go to Kabukicho and its big red gate.

In any case, whatever you choose to visit in Tokyo, it will be really nice, and a lot of it will still be waiting when you eventually come back.

Cheers!
But just because jaywalking isn’t a crime doesn’t mean pedestrians have right of way. Is that the case anywhere? I thought that was the proposal, which is much different than allowing people to cross everywhere, after looking out that there’s no car coming.

The average cost changes over time, and if it has to trade at above the current average cost it already would be.

And there are real reasons it could sustainably trade below cost to mine, e.g., if mining is concentrated in actors with exogenous interest in the ecosystem, such as sellers of goods whose sale is facilitated by bitcoin rather than fiat being the medium of exchange.
> I've created new apps from scratch with it.

I don't think that "creating new apps from scratch" should be the benchmark. Unless you're doing something very novel, creating a new app/service is rather formulaic. Many frameworks even have templates / generators for that sort of thing. LLMs are maybe just better generators - which is not useless, but it's not where the real complexity of software development lies.

The success stories I am looking for are things like "I migrated a Java 6 codebase with a legacy app server to Java 21", "I ripped out this unsupported library across the project and replaced it with a better one" or "I refactored the codebase so that the database access is in its own layer". If LLMs can do those tasks reliably, then I'll have another look.
At scale you can do this in a bunch of interesting ways. For example, you could measure "amount of time between opening a crash log and writing the first character of a new change" across 10,000s of engineers. Yes, each individual data point is highly messy. Alice might start coding as a means of investigation. Bob might like to think about the crash over dinner. Carol might get a really hard bug while David gets a really easy one. But at scale you can see how changes in the tools change this metric.

None of this works to evaluate individuals or even teams. But it can be effective at evaluating tools.

Aren’t utes and pickups different (albeit similar) types of vehicle?

Edit: Since someone downvoted me, I went to find the first source I could. I’d be more than happy to be challenged constructively if this isn’t true:

> Utes are classified as a tub-back commercial vehicle based off a passenger car variant.

> For the Americans reading this, yes the Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino are therefore utes and not pick-up trucks.

> With no passenger car variant diesel 4x4s like the Ford Ranger, VW Amarok and Toyota Hilux are classified as pick-ups. These vehicles use separate chassis/body construction, commonly use leaf-sprung solid-axle rear-ends and have higher towing capacities than most passenger car-based utes.

UTC is generally a good idea for storing, but there are still some ways to have that bite you. If a user enters a local date time for a future event in a particular time zone, converting that to UTC could result in incorrect behavior if the timezone definition changes. It depends on if the user meant that UTC time or if they meant the local time.
I also found that passing all the codebase in a single file in the context works really well. I've tried Cursor et al, but I found that it not having the full context of the codebase (and having to do some back and forth for it to requests files) was slower and didn't really yield any better results. Granted I work on projects where the codebase fit in 100-200kb text files, but I'm still only at 20% of the context limit in Claude.

Also I found the UX of Claude to be better for this, especially their Projects feature. I can just put the codebase in the Project's context, and start a new conversation to ask different questions/solve different problems.

The only pain point I have is that it seems to be pretty optimized to only show changes in existing files, not rewriting them in full, which is a bit of a pain to copy-paste into my IDE. I'll see if I can write out a system prompt to force it to generate diff or a similar format that could more easily be applied automatically to my code.
What is singularity anyway? I thought it was just some hypothetical point in time where making accurate predictions about the future becomes infeasible.
> They arrayed three antennas together.

No, they didn’t. The three antennas are in California, Spain, an Australia; they can’t all point at the same point in the sky at once, and even if two could do so, they’re not designed to work as an interferometric array.

I'm torn. The rise of python did massively increase the accessibility of programming, but it simultaneously tied much of the industry to one of the most poorly designed languages still in use. Simultaneously, the low barrier has created an ecosystem of poorly designed, yet de-facto packages. I'm not convinced it sped up long term progress, even if there's a lot more "code" out there.

I worry AI will do the same. Even less thoughtful programmers will beat the community to this or that package, quickly get taken up, leaving ever more tenacious code tumors.
Seems to be a rather subjective thing. Going from 4k to 1080p literally causes me headaches, going from 240Hz to 60Hz feels normal after a minute or two. Yes, it feels nicer, but that's it for the most part. Not something that makes me want to update the screen right now.
You don't even have to go back in time or use a comparatively rare language pair such as English/Russian.

Google Reviews insists on auto translating reviews to your native language (thankfully, the original review can be recovered by clicking a link). Even for English->German (probably one of the most common language pairs), the translations are usually so poor that you can't always tell what the review is trying to say. To be fair, I think that state of the art machine translation is better than whatever the hell Google is using here (google translate probably), but apparently product people at Google don't care enough to make translations better (or better, allow you to turn off this feature).
