> Prior to LLMs, though, we could have been making judicious use of simple algorithmic approaches to process natural language constructs as command language. We didn't see a lot of interest in it.

Siri was released in 2011, and Alexa and Google Assistant followed soon thereafter. Companies spent tens of millions of dollars improving their algorithmic NLP because voice interfaces were "the future". I took a class in the late 2010s that went over all of the methodologies that they used for intent parsing and slot filling. All of that has been largely abandoned at this point in favor of LLMs for everything.

My hope is that at some point people will come back to these UI paradigms as we realize the limitations of "everything is a chat bot". There's a simplicity to the context-free limited voice assistants that had a set of specific use cases they could handle, and the effort to chatbot everything is starting to destroy the legitimate use cases that came out of that era like timers and reminders.
In my experience, "hung task" is almost always due to running out of RAM and the scheduler constantly thrashing instead of doing useful work. I rarely actually reach the point of seeing the message since I'll sysrq-kill if early enough, or else hard-reboot.

Note also that modern filesystems do a lot of background work that doesn't strictly need to be done immediately for correctness.

(of course, it also seems common for people to completely disregard the well-documented "this feature is unreliable, don't use it" warnings that btrfs has, then complain that they have problems and not mention that they ignored the warnings until everyone is halfway through complaining)

The only problems I've encountered in all my years of using btrfs are:

* when (all copies of) a file bitrots on disk, you can't read it at all, rather than being able to copy the mostly-correct file and see if you can hand-correct it into something usable

* if you enable new compression algorithms on your btrfs volume, you can't read your data from old kernels (often on liveusb recovery disks)

* fsync is slow. Like, really really slow. And package managers designed for shitty CoW-less filesystems use fsync a lot.
Reading through the JEP again it does not seem to be related - it is about deprecating unsafe APIs that the executed code itself uses. OpenJDK also has "partial escape analysis" where the object that only conditionally escapes can still be placed on the stack/scalar replaced.

I'm not privy to the exact APIs that OpenJDK exposes but in .NET the main limitation around escape analysis that spans multiple methods is the fact that CoreCLR has re-JIT API which allows to perform a multitude of actions like attaching a profiler or a debugger to a live application and forcing the runtime to deoptimize a particular method for debugging, or modifying the implementation and re-JITting the result. Debug codegen is very different especially around GC liveness tracking and escape analysis that builds on top of it - it means that even debug code would have to uphold stack-allocated nature of such object in some way, complicating the design significantly. In addition to that, debuggers and other instrumentation may observe object references that would have otherwise not escaped local scope.

This creates an unfortunate situation where the above almost never happens in production, but ignoring it and "just stack-allocating anyway" would lead to disastrous breakage for all sorts of existing instrumentation. Because Go does not have to deal with this constraint, it can perform interproc escape analysis without risk - whether a pointer escapes or not can be statically proven. For NativeAOT, .NET could approach this problem in the same way, but paraphrasing compiler team: "We would like to avoid optimizations only available for one of the target types be it JIT or AOT, and only supporting AOT would not benefit the majority of the .NET users".

There is, however, recognition that more comprehensive interproc analysis could be very beneficial, including the EA which is why it is planned to work on it in .NET 10:

In my opinion, hangul is the most logical and rational of all the writing systems. Very few surprises when reading something unfamiliar.
The longer version of what I’m saying is that people think that bad posture causes pain and issues and that if you just sit up straight you can fix that.

In reality I would argue that if you just keep your back, neck etc muscles strong then you will both sit and stand more “properly” without trying (because it will be easier) and also have fewer issues when you don’t.
> Meta-owned Threads started November with 5 times the daily app users of Bluesky. That number is now down to just 1.5.

Is this because Threads is fading into obscurity and has fewer daily app users than their peak, and Bluesky has a bit more than they had before in November?

Today are either within an order of magnitude of X?

No RBAC is sad, though understandable. Wireguard is so much faster than OpenVPN. We use Wireguard for S2S but unfortunately need OpenVPN for our employees and contractors due to RBAC.

All posts and writeups we've found trying to shoehorn RBAC into Wireguard ultimately ends up with people saying "don't do this."

a) Based on what we've seen in China, India etc many of those will shift towards densely populated cities or will stay and those locations will become industrialised, densely populated cities.

b) In densely populated cities it doesn't make sense to use Starlink when fibre is far cheaper, has limited congestion issues and can provide gigabit speeds at a minimum.

c) It's great that you're writing this in rural Peru but that is a declining use case and should not be extrapolated to the rest of the world.

Yup. Small cell size is actually a feature for cell phone communications. You have to share bandwidth with everyone in your cell - the smaller the cell, the less crowding.

This is a general starlink issue, which is why I don't understand how is it economically or physically viable in crowded areas, such as cities, where the majority of human population lives.

Have you considered how much money you could loose to credit card chargebacks and similar fraud?

How will you stop a flood of scammers trying to use your service to pay a 'freelancer' that is actually an accomplice in Nigeria by paying with a credit card then calling the card company and saying they never did that, or using stolen cards?

Have you seen the recent news stories about North Korea using fake identities and proxies to get North Korean workers remote jobs?

You will need to verify the identities of people you are sending money to.

This sounds like a cryptocurrency exchange with extra steps. Cryptocurrency exchanges have found it very difficult to avoid having their bank accounts closed as soon as the flood of fraud claims starts. Expect most banks to refuse to give you a business account as soon as you mention cryptocurrency.

There are lots of laws around this such as international sanctions, money transfer laws, money laundering regulation, the US Patriot Act, and the requirement for a payment processor to submit form 1099-K to the IRS for anyone receiving over $600.

The entity that is paying will, in many cases, be required to withhold 30% and give it to the IRS, so it will not be as simple as a client just paying you with a credit card. "Withholding tax" can be complicated.

The corrections are wonderful. Concise and to the point.

The author is a powerhouse in his field, known by researchers and casual readers. He has nothing to fear from publishing corrections. Nobody is trying to step on him, keep him from promotion, or argue that his research is meaningless.

Other researchers have less privilege, and (imo) therefore will be less forthcoming.

If you only have two papers, admitting one has a fatal flaw instead of giving more talks about it will be career suicide.

It's not tricky though. Unreachable invokes UB. It's something like the most canonically reduced version of B that we can write.

(Because unreachable is meant to be used in certain ways, implementations can give it relevant diagnostic powers. But all it means "please make the spot in the program have no defined behavior").

If the implementation cannot remove A on grounds of B being undefined, then you need an awkward special case for when B is the unreachable gizmo.
I've been very pleased with powerdns for my self hosted internal DNS services. It implements basically everything you want for even the most esoteric DNS setups, and IMO, quite sanely.

Peter Hague is definitely exploring the existential crisis of capitalism.

In theory you can earn money and then spend it, thereby directing society towards satisfying your wishes, but the richest people in the world do not earn money to spend it. They earn money to earn even more money. There is no end goal here.

It is an existential crisis, because in a long chain S -> I1 -> ... -> In -> C, if C never happens, then In becomes meaningless, then I(n-1) becomes meaningless all the way to I0 and S. You worked for nothing.

What you did was meaningless and it served no purpose, but it is dominating the system and imposing a meaningless life on everyone else.

Looking at your page, it looks like Lambdas/Functions but on your system, not Amazon/Microsoft/Google.

Interesting idea.

The FReT algorithm (if I understand correctly) works on equally spaced points in time and projects on the same grid into the future. So it would seem that interpolation is not possible with this method.

Just curios: can CTE's be used to make time series range queries easier / more performant?

Sqlite is the default option on Android and it's pretty common to have time series sensor data that needs to be captured, stored, and analyzed...

There is also duckdb but I'm not sure about the status of the Android bindings.
The elephant in the room: People who have gotten over the K8s learning curve almost all tell you it isn't actually that bad.
Most people who have not attempted the learning curve, or have just dipped their toe in, will tell you they are scared of the complexity.

An anecdotal datapoint: My standard lecture teaching developers how to interact with K8s takes almost precisely 30 minutes to have them writing Helm charts for themselves. I have given it a whole bunch of times and it seems to do the job.
At what point along this continuum does it just become "base salary" rather than "pay specifically for being on-call"?
We run on bare metal in AWS, so you get access to all your other AWS services. We can also run on bare metal in whatever cloud you want.
Easy.

Save the sha256 hash of original.dat in compressed.dat. The decompressor cats /dev/random until data of the right size comes out with the correct hash.

Now there are two cases.

1. The reconstructed data is actually equal to original.dat. Challenge won, cash in $5000.

2. The reconstructed data differs from original.dat. It has the same hash though, so you found a collision in sha256. World fame.

In either case, win!

Cell phones are far more sensitive to temperature issues than dedicated devices.

And when you do have an issue no external battery is going to help you because they are also sensitive.

The moon was created far before life formed - the best estimates put its formation about 4.5 billion years ago, while life didn't form until 3.7 billion years ago. So any complex molecules from that process would not be present on asteroids of lunar origin.

My take was that the information is stored in the ordering of the files. The decompressor doesn't care about the file size of each file, right?
> We hope that our BTS will light the way up like dynamite[9] for future research on Korean NLP.
> license LTE spectrum in every country

I think this is the biggest reason. All nation's governments will absolutely ensure, overtly or covertly, that their national regulators limit any space-based supra-national system from being able to threaten their national telephony and data carriers. Why? Preventing losing national capabilities, government revenue (taxes, licenses & other domestic carrier fees, lobbying, kickbacks, bribes, etc) and, most importantly, losing the ability to snoop at will on calls and data (at least metadata if not full-take). Even in countries where the major carriers are all based in other nations, existing towers being land-based creates jurisdiction for the government to control and tax.

While many westernized democracies like to proclaim their commitment to freedom, rule of law and individual human rights - in practice there are currently zero governments on earth free enough to not consider loss of that absolute control over citizen's private communication an existential threat. Even in places where existing laws don't currently make it illegal, as soon as technology enables it - it will certainly be made illegal (by any means necessary). I assume SpaceX is smart enough to understand this reality.
Good news: people who pay more still get all those benefits.

And now, other people have some access (if non-optimal) to rescue services, despite the fact that they didn't (or couldn't afford to) pay more for inReach.

I see this as an unqualified win.
Of course we can motivate ourselves. But they're acting like we did in the 1800s through the mid 1900s. They just build anywhere no matter what. They have no interest in dealing with environmental concerns. The officially released pollution levels in China are mind-boggling and they still do not represent how bad it really is.

You think US manufacturers wouldn't be delighted to just buy a few hundred acres land and start building stuff? They'd do it in a heartbeat. For better and for worse, it is not a level playing field. Conforming to government regulations over here is stifling for a 100-house development in Arkansas, but it's almost impossible in California, Illinois, or New York. Now imagine what it's like to build a huge factory. It is nearly impossible to get permission, and inspections, endangered wildlife concerns, waste removal, etc. handled in under 5-10 years.

Thanks. What I don’t understand is how searching for previous patterns that are similar helps in predicting timelines that are chaotic (it seems to be quite good at that).
Sure but that might be an unknowable problem. What if the difference in likelihood were 60/40.

You could go down all sorts of rabbit holes and none of them would truly be falsifiable unless you observed an enantiomeric lifeform on some distant planet.
I do not think the Tailscale software implements everything described in that article. For example, the article says

> Now speak STUN through the NAT64 to discover your public ip:port on the NAT64, and you’re back to the classic NAT traversal problem — albeit with a bit more work.

I don't think the Tailscale software does this step. You can find several GitHub issues about this, such as https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/11438 or https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/11437

Transmeta's whole elevator pitch was a power efficient CPU that through translation software, happened to run x86 instructions so there's no porting nonsense necessary. Only issue was that they made it 1/x efficient, at 1/x the speed.

Interesting fact is that the guy who architected Transmeta's CPUs also worked on Itanium and Russia's Elbrus CPUs. The Elbrus is sort of a spiritual successor to Transmeta's efforts at this translation thing, but it is very much aimed as a hardware root of trust solution to sandboxing software rather than a genuine effort at competing in foreign markets.
You are going to stockpile years worth of food for an entire country?

Sure but I'm still wrapped around your library no? So if your "Process Kafka events" decorator in Python doesn't quite do what I need to, I'm forced to grab the Kafka library, write my code and then learn to build my own container since I assume you were handling the build part. Finally, figure out which 17 ways to run containers on AWS (https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/the-17-ways-to-run-contai...) is proper for me and away I go?

That's my SRE recommendation of "These serverless are a trap, it's quick to get going but you can quickly get locked into a bad place."
If anyone from Starlink or SpaceX is reading these comments here’s what you want to do: Sell your own branded trail cam with solar charging and LTE from orbit. You can charge $25-$40 a month for unlimited pictures sent from the cam. This would open up hunters, nature enthusiasts, and researchers to be able to place their hardware anywhere in the field without worrying about connectivity. Here in SWVA we have deep hollows that can’t get LTE without dense tower coverage that we don’t have the population to justify, but you can grab a satellite connection.

After writing this out I’m beginning to doubt the market would be big enough but I know at least 20 people with 2 or more LTE cams for deer season.
