Note I'm talking "clone of the Arduino", not "Arduino-based clone of the YubiKey". My point was that if you don't need protection against key extraction, you can just get an ultra-cheap microcontroler and write code to do the crypto operations on them.

This thread talks about sub-1$ Arduinos:

https://old.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/dixa9x/awesome_sub...

I can't speak to the quality of those, but my friend got some sub-1$ Arduionos in the past (not sure which) and said they worked.
I feel that traditional media is slowly dying. I haven't watched it in ages. My kids definitely won't. I watched Trump and Fetterman on Joe Rogan. They both began their interviews talking about how their teenage sons were really pumped about them being on Joe Rogan.
You are half right, just like unicode. IIRC you can mostly translate Kanji and Hanzi characters and they are almost 1:1 but you need to know whether to use a Japanese or Chinese font, and unicode just assume you have the right font IIRC (and good luck if a span of text has both for some reason).

Like, image if coordonner (french), coordinate (English) and coördinate (variant) all were encoded.as the same bytes.
Just to be clear, that's monthly inflation, not annual. Annual is still 193%
Netflix

Where can I read about the storage drives used at Netflix?

I know there’s info on the Gbps they push, and using AMD chips, and FreeBSD.

But I haven’t read anything about their storage setup.
Right - if the pattern in the referenced blog post is used to implement lazy init, racing threads can double initialize.

But it's not possible to upgrade a read to write lock as racing threads can cause a deadlock, and upgradable RwLock variants don't hand out multiple upgradable read locks.

To maintain concurrent access, the referenced code must recheck the data once a write lock is granted, to gracefully handle TOCTOU.

(I know you were making a general point, I'm just fleshing out this specific example)
Planet Money did an episode[1] on People Express, a low-cost airline that sprung up right after deregulation in the 80s. The history of People Express as told in that episode mirrors Spirit. Once the major carriers decided to compete, it sunk the upstart's business.

I get it, I guess I just don’t see the point of trying to determine how much of the project I did myself here and now, 30 years later. It was my idea and I wrote the code, but my dad certainly helped with the physical design, and I think he suggested that I test ice water.

I will leave it to history to judge if I truly earned that blue ribbon

> They only lose the marketing edge

This is a bigger deal than it may sound. Apple isn't operating in a vacuum, sony[0] and bose are also targeting the market and they'll also probably do their marketing push as they see fit.

Apple only having a "kinda works as a hearing aid" is a sizeable disadvantage when the other brands will have posters in prominent places at sales points. Apple would still win on online sales and people who don't need that much reliability of course.

I had an interesting problem occur to the pg stats. We were migrating and had a version column, I.e key, val, version.

We were migrating from version 1 to version 2, double writing into the same table. An index on (key, val, version) was being hit by our reader process using a where clause like key=k and version=1.

When we flipped the reader to read version 2, the latency jumped from 30ms to 11s. Explain showed a sequential scan even though the index could serve the query. I was able to use MATERIALIZED and reorder CTEs to get the planner to do the right thing, but it caused an outage.

We were autovacuuming as well. I ended up deleting the old version and rebuilding the index.

My theory is that because the read load was on 50% of the data, the stats were super skewed.

It is actually really great! Works out of the box, does it with a single-page UI, and it is not slow. It's very close to a log viewer I always dreamed of. The UI is much better than Grafana.

I connected it to the system.text_log table, and it took zero time with no problems.
I was going to say "d'oh, that's locking 101", but the original article indeed does that kind of a thing with the else branch. They should have chosen a better example do demonstrate the point, but it's hard to say if the current racy behaviour is even wrong because they didn't have any real-life semantics/use-case in the example...

Good beer has always been best at room temperature. In the 1870s German industrialisation created cheaper beers that are tolerable if refrigerated.
I don't really buy that last one: successful LCCs (Ryanair, AirAsia, etc) know their niche and their audience, and don't even try to compete outside it. Luxury travel has fatter margins but also demands way more overhead in everything (cabin crew, catering, cleaning, etc), so it's not compatible with the rest of the LCC business model, which relies on fast turnaround times and minimal services.
This reminds me of the decade old Show HN for Front, but I really like that this is gonna be "Good Enough", instead of the "modern customer service platform" that Front has become (with prices to match).

I've recently started using Perplexity and find that I've started using it for finding answers to specific questions, where I'll still use traditional search to find "a few sites on which I may be able to cobble together a useful set of information about <topic>".

So, for me, "search" has fragmented into two separate use cases, one of which is served by the new not-really-a-search-engine.
Tbh, it's not that much compared to Apple sales.
There are a lot of theories for why the low-cost carriers are suddenly failing since 2020 in the US, but in my opinion the big one was inflation - of costs, of disposable income, and of expectations.

Pilot salaries and fuel costs both skyrocketed since 2020, and at the same time the US got significantly richer and people got more of a taste for luxury. Expensive, premium things have never been doing so well in the US. All of a sudden, you have a double whammy of low-cost carriers being forced to raise prices and get less competitive, while consumers are more inclined to pay for luxury.

Not to mention - American LCCs were never in that great of a position, structurally, vs the European LCCs. Ryanair thrives on quick turnarounds, cheap airports, cheap pilots, short flights and high population density. The US has none of those. The EU's population density is 112 people/km2 vs 36 in the US, even cheap US pilots are very expensive, turnarounds are slower, and there are few budget airports where the people live. The Port Authority is spending 25 billion dollars on revamping the three NYC area airports. Meanwhile Europe is full of cheap semirural airports like Frankfurt-Hahn, where the most recent renovation cost in the single digit millions. Where do you think you can land a 737 for cheaper?
Mine died a few months ago (I'm pretty sure just the onboard electronics died, not the cells) and I miss it.
Yes, but my point is you could also have any ultra-cheap device plugged into your computer that can run general-purpose crypto software and talk via USB, or your phone.

You wouldn't have to pay > 50$ for a Yubikey.
In the age of Apple Silicon, what's options are there for native Linux?
Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a new laptop for programming work.

I would prefer to use native Linux, but it seems like nothing comes close to Apple Silicon for battery life, portability and performance.

Which brings me to my question, should I suck it up and buy Apple Silicon, try Asahi Linux, or go with an x86 Dell, Thinkpad, etc.
The VCs are irrelevant. The concept of an engine is separate from Ford, Chevy, Tesla, etc, and the other companies that sell variations of it.

Edit: Also, the VCs that are just GPT wrappers deserve to die. The only people it hurts are the investors with more money than sense.
> If AI is provably worse, we should see that come up in the AI making 'bad calls' vs the human team. You would even see affects on health outcomes.

That would require medicine not be a shitshow in general. Most things where cause-effect is not immediately obvious medicine has no idea even what is a good or bad call. So any study like this would be easy to cook in both directions

I agree that using it for things like alerts though can be good
I've been using the chatGPT browser extension for a week now. It replaces Google search for me in Brave.

It was a little odd at first but now I find I won't go back. I love I can ask follow up questions, and it shows the listing results on the right just like a search engine. But it also gives my a such summary on the left, again, with the ability to ask follow up questions.

Anyone trying to build a search engine to provide a Google-like experience is going to fail, in my opinion.

chatGPT search is a game changer. I'll pay $20 month for this forever.
Docker Compose Isn't Enough
They mention that they wouldn't want people to try unproven treatments but with the success rate you see in cancer treatments, it's easy to get the idea that they are all unproven.
Spam your articles into any website that allows commenting, like forums, blogs, news sites, porn sites, etc. Start the text with a unique string that when searched throws no results currently, followed by date and time. Store the unique string in your barcode. When people search for that string in 100y they'll find any of the surviving texts, the date and time will let them know which is the order.
That was a great read. The way the author builds the exploit, brick by brick, is well done and not all all obvious or clear. Each step by itself is somewhat concerning but there's no Eureka! moment until very late.

Memory usage is not comparable across Linux and Mac. MacOS is much better at avoiding swap, uses memory compression, shared frameworks etc. At the same time it tries to use all the memory available which makes direct system-wide comparisons not accurate. A good rule of thumb is that 8GB on Mac == 16GB on Windows/Linux.

Only some of these are really Postgres specific (use "text" / "timestamptz"; make psql more useful; copy to CSV). Most of them apply to relational databases in general (learn how to normalise!; yes, NULL is weird; learn how indexes work!; locks and long-running transactions will bite you; avoid storing and querying JSON blobs of doom). Not that that detracts from the usefulness of this article - pretty much all of them are important things to know when working with Postgres.

Honestly that’s not bad at all. It works out to ~$370 for 6TB. I’ve paid about $150 for 2TB as a consumer when building my laptop so I’d imagine the cost isn’t too bad for business customers.
I don't think this is true. If you watch the videos, dosdude1 specifically says he had to order blank NANDs for this process. Then you DFU restore the system from another mac. I have no proof, but I assume part of this DFU restore process is the new NAND chips being hardware paired in some way.

Again I have no proof, but there must be reasons he claims they have to be blank NANDs

Even if we don't opt out, it's not plaintext data right? Further, I feel like it's likely to be the tokenized version right?

And as far as strategic plans, I don't think it regurgitates novel, one source information does it? Isn't the regurgitation more like boilerplate, seen many times type stuff?

Has anyone actually been able to prompt a password out of an LLM? That kind of thing should be ignored because it's high entropy and rare afaik. For example, my name is bongodongobob and my password=hunter17. Do you really think someone will be able to pull this fact out of an LLM at some point? That doesn't seem to be the way they work as I understand it.
Match has multiple branches, and some or all of them can bind variables, (borrowed from the value matched against), defined in that branch. For that to be possible, it means that the temporary lifetime of the matched value must encompass all the branches.

Compared to that, if let - else has only two branches: one where matching (and possible variable binding) happens, and one where it doesn't. You couldn't have anything borrowed from the matched value in the else branch, so the lifetime extending to encompass the else branch is not strictly necessary.
There's an old saying about how difficult it is to convince someone differently when their paycheck depends on it...

Bingo. These systems are not packaged goods, but come with services that depend on getting a lot of the data to improve the system, and it's hard to control how they share. An air defense system is part of a network.
I think luxury is the wrong word. I have a hierarchy of US airlines in my head that guides my domestic airfare purchase decisions and Spirit is at the bottom. American and United are near the bottom too. I never fly first class or business class, so I'm always looking for the least miserable coach ticket. For me, that's Delta, JetBlue and Alaska. I imagine a lot of fliers think the same way and though their own rankings may vary, Spirit is at the top of nobody's list.

And what's the difference is cost anyway? Maybe $40.
I'd heard the Micron 7450 Pro 15 TB u.3 is comparable to an Optane 905p 1.5TB u.2 when it comes to random 4K IO; spec sheet states, "Latency, READ (TYP): 80μs, WRITE (TYP): 15μs" and 500k iops. Whereas a typical Optane 905p has 10μs writes up to 500 kiops. (ref: https://www.micron.com/content/dam/micron/global/public/docu... vs https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16636/rr-rate-905p-1500.pn...)

Over that range they're comparable it's ~10 microseconds vs ~15 microseconds. Really impressive stuff for a charge trap SSD. Size for size, and cost for cost, I'd rather have optane though.

I'm talking about memory bandwidth - maybe your workloads don't take advantage of that but most do and that's why apple designed their new chips to take advantage of it.

Expanding on this, ("monthly rate" Vs "month by month projected annual rate" figures)

"When he was elected" (December 2023) he came in on the November 2023 annual inflation rate of 160.9%.

At the end of December 2023 the annual inflation rate was 211.4%

From the AP News link:

On an annual basis, inflation in October (2024) was 193% compared to 209% reported in September (2024).

As a chart, see: https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/inflation-cpi

and select time frame of interest, 1YR is tight, 3YR shows the rise and fall.

The inflation rate is headed toward the 'low' of November 2023 but hasn't quite yet descended there yet.
The low cost carriers I've flown in Western Europe and Asia were way better than the the regular US carriers (United, Delta, Southwest, etc.) They had much better seating, planes, restrooms, policies, etc.

By contrast the US has the worst airlines out of anywhere I fly. Even the regular non budget ones are bad. Frontier and Spirit are the only airlines on my "never ever again" list, no matter how much cheaper they are. I've never felt as dehumanized, like cattle to the slaughter, as when flying on them...
Thanks! When using full open-source HyperDX (beyond the Kibana part), inclusive of your choices of ingestion and controlling Clickhouse, does it set up the recommended indexes automatically?

That is, is it a full drop-in for a typical Grafana + Loki deployment?

For context, I'm currently following the approach described in https://xeiaso.net/blog/prometheus-grafana-loki-nixos-2020-1... where with ~40 lines of NixOS config it pushes my entire server cluster's systemd journald logs into Grafana.

Roughly how much effort would one have to put in to achieve the same with HyperDX? If it's not too hard, I might get around to package it as a NixOS service.

I got in love with Zammad for this kind of things. It's a modern alternative to OTRS, but it's so light and easy to use that you can push it to any kind of business or personal project.

If you read the fine print you'll see that there's disclaimers on that two-day shipping. I live in the country where Amazon hands off to the USPS for most deliveries and still things usually arrive in 2-3 days.

That first board is just a list of departure times by hour, with express trains highlighted. For weekdays and weekends. Not exactly a huge amount of information.

I'm more impressed by their maps of where each station exit leads to, or where on the platform to wait based on your seat number. Those can be tricky to figure out as there are multiple wait points based on the train route and number of carriages. Shinkansen even take into account what end of the carriage you're closest to.

In English, "filing for bankruptcy" can be read in two ways: the one is the literal interpretation of filling out the forms. But the other is simply stating the inevitable destiny and which is worth highlighting since it has many implications (for employees, airports, debt holders, shareholders, etc.).

So I don't think the article title is intended to mislead.
Yeah, this is it. Frontier is great if you're flying from something like Las Vegas to Phoenix by yourself and have nothing to carry besides a water bottle and a protein bar in your pocket. Anything else the experience gets wildly unreasonable.

What I love about this is that it has a defined mission and an expiration date. Everything should have this. Instead once they accomplish their original mission their only goal is to survive and the best way to do that is to grow and manage more things unrelated to the original goal.

I’m not sure DOGE is successful but the concept of creating a program where the goal is to delete itself by accomplishing a specific mission by a specific time is great.
