There's a big difference though Coca Cola makes its money from customers out its brands, OpenAI doesn't and it's not clear at all that there is monetization potential in that direction.

Their business case was about being the provider of artificial intelligence to other businesses, not to monetize ChatGPT. There my be an opportunity for a pivot, that would include getting rid of the goal of having the most performant model, cutting training cost to the minimum, and be profitable from there, but I'm not sure it would be enough to justify their $157 Billion valuation.
Oh this is lcamtuf, i was wondering why i liked the prose. On topic: they make uv lasers, i imagine these can be pulsed and have a fast off time. Peanut butter does glow after being hit with strong UV (like a UV flashlight with a COB UV LED in it, as opposed to these little thru-hole LEDs.)

I was curious why not use a darlington transistor right on the back of the photodiode? what's the adc say if you read the photodiode while the UV lights are on?

Well, they won't read this, probably. So i guess i'll have to rig up something similar and see for myself.
This is a good five years after Jobs left...
That's what I've been seeing in the industry as well, and it's honestly pretty disgusting.

We were evaluating this one particular I*M product for infrastructure management, which needed to be installed on top of this other I*M platform, which specifically required to be run on top of a particular version of RHEL and a particular version of OpenShift (no other k8s flavor would do), and they wanted it as dedicated instance on a dedicated physical server (so we couldn't use our existing OCP instance).

The overal system requirements to run the damn thing (which was ultimately just a Ruby app) was enormous, and the bill quoted was astronomical. Customising, upgrading and maintaining it would've been a massive PITA too.

Thankfully our C-suits had a rare lightbulb moment and the whole project was canned. But man, what a massive waste of time and effort it was, we spent hundreds of hours doing the discovery, design and coding for it. Heck, I even ended up having to learn Ruby just so we could customise the app, because I*M were incapable of delivering a decent product.

We then decided to go for another white labeled product from a competing vendor - which was admittedly a lot better than that I*M crap, but during our consultation with them it was decided that we'd need to port all our existing code and tooling to their proprietary platform - a lengthy process that would take several hundreds of hours of effort, with a migration plan set over the course of an year.

Personally, none of this makes any sense to me. I can understand why we wanted to go for a commercial solution, but with the amount of time, money, effort we'd be putting in, we could've just continued to develop our in-house product which leveraged existing opensource solutions like Ansible. The whole insurance for "getting hit by a bus" scenario and "vendor support" is so blown out of proportion these days.

I just want to go back to the good ol' days where being a sysadmin meant you were the one in control.
Not intentionally! But actually I think the concern is unwarranted because looking again it seems they don't include the hash for release versions, so if someone did force push master/main the artifact repository should reject it.

What, Apple advertises sleep and then decides "you know what, even though it works fine, and is heavily used, and is essential for enabling laptops to be portable, which is the only advantage they have over desktops - we should just stop that from working"?

Or is this more of a "Who's going to notice that the functionality they use every day has been disabled?" kind of idea?

The only feature here is that you're no longer allowed to do something that was an important part of how the computer worked. That's the headline of the press release, and the goal of the software.

The problem is, you can't live like that. Not in an advanced society. There simply is not time and effort enough available for everyone to check everything. You can't do your own medical trials and your own long-term toxicity studies.

> Doctors want the best outcomes for themselves. If they’ve found an effective treatment that others are overlooking then they’ll seek to publish

However often the work required to prove something is effective is beyond a capacity of a single Doctor. Also in terms of wanting the best outcome for themselves - sometimes that involves not putting their career at risk by trying unproven treatments on patients ( you are focussing on the outcome when it works, not the more likely outcome and consequence of it not working ).

So sure 'miracle' cures are unlikely to lay undiscovered - but most improvements in medicine are incremental, rather than miraculous.

the COB uv leds are much cleaner UV, in a normally lit room you can barely see the light blob where you aim them until you hit something that fluoresces. Also the lasers are pretty pure, from what i've seen personally.

But anything in the portion of UV that makes ozone doesn't get anywhere near that small - the smallest is about the same volume as a AA battery, just more squat (larger radius), and they require AC voltage, and none of the ones i got lasted very long, i imagine my AC supply didn't have enough current. they use ~18V iirc? maybe 10V, i don't remember. it's low voltage, though.

Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices
Just received by email:

We are writing to inform you about important changes to the tariff structure of our Cloud servers (CCX and CPX lines) and our Load balancers at our US locations in Ashburn and Hillsboro.

What will change?

Starting on 1 December 2024, 01:00 am CET, we will begin charging new prices for newly-created Cloud servers and introduce new amounts for included traffic for Cloud Servers and Load balancers at the US locations in Ashburn (ASH) and Hillsboro (HIL). This also applies to existing Cloud servers and Load balancers that are switched to a different tariff using the “Rescale” function. For any existing Cloud servers and Load balancers you have at these locations, the new prices and the new amounts for included traffic will apply later, starting on 1 February 2025, 01:00 am CET. The price for traffic overage will remain unchanged in the new price structure.

What are the new prices and amounts of included traffic?

Below, you can see a list of the old and new prices and the included traffic.

Product Old price New price Old included traffic New included traffic

CPX11 € 3.85 € 4.49 20 TB 1 TB

CPX21 € 7.05 € 8.99 20 TB 2 TB

LB31 € 32.90 unchanged 20 TB 3 TB

All monthly prices are excl. VAT and excl. IPv4 addresses.
Why are we making these changes?

With the new tariff structure, we want to make conditions for our customers around the world as fair as possible. To do that, we will calculate our prices based on local conditions in Europe, Singapore, and the USA. Until this change, customers who have used fewer resources have covered the costs, in a way, for other customers who have used much more resources. We want to make things more balanced. The new prices will give our customers the best possible price for the resources they use.

What's special about the book? It's the cost, proof of work if you will. If costs nothing to write or read an internet post, so bots, cheap workforce and gullible people can be employed. Only selected few buy books, because it costs money, so it's their vote that counts for the author, the publishers and for fellow readers.
> Yup it's wild to me how much anxiety there is about cameras while no mind is given to microphones. Conversations are much more privileged than potentially seeing me in my underwear.

It depends on the person, I don't think you could gain much from me? I don't say credit card numbers out loud, I don't talk about hypothetical crimes out loud. I don't say my wallet seed phrases out loud. I also don't type in my passwords. Yes you could probably find out what restaurant I'm ordering delivery for, but other than that I suppose my conversations are really boring.
Secret money is hard at a certain scale. Money is property rights and people have to believe your rights exist for them to actually exist. Elon Musk is not physically strong but simply the beneficiary of forces that have convinced the world’s mindless executors of one arbitrary thing in his favor, but could have just as easily convinced them of any arbitrary thing out of his favor.

It’s better to have $5 million than to be broke. That absolutely true. But there is a level of wealth and position where you absolutely must participate in the most evil parts of society to stay where you are. The level of money that you can quietly have is not one that rich people are impressed by. There is a higher level, which you cannot have without the support of society, and the support of society is something you do not get unless you are actively participating in terrible things, either as a willful actor or, more likely in this case, a patsy who usually has no idea what’s going on.

I do wish this article had been more concrete about what those terrible things were, though. And I have no sense of where the man was truly a criminal or just way out of his depth. When people in the arts and sciences get caught up in these things, it tends to be the latter.
Exactly. Most of the author's complaints can be answered with: "Use decent software. And make copies."

And I found it disappointing that the author did no attempt to recognize that digital #reading is what enables himself to reach people at all? Where is the accounting for accessibility and reach?
I am not sure this is the case. I work with a mix of younger and mature students and there is a distinct inability for the younger students to compose complex abstract processes.

When people do well as a cohort they are usually normalised against their peers. It requires a little more academic comparison across age groups.
"Elite" has so many meanings, it is near worthless without some tight context.

Most people who are really good at something, and became successful for it, primarily became good by doing. Some of those people read and developed complex thought, and likely and rightly give great credit to that. But many others? Not so much.

On the other hand, I think the quality (or the direction of quality) of a society as a whole has a very strong correlation with the percentage of people who read deeply and widely.

I am not only surprised by how simplistic many people's views and reasoning are, but how unaware they are of the world. And how unaware they are that there are people around them that know so much more.

They are not just myopic, they don't have a map, and are unaware other people have them and expand them.

I had a desktop wallpaper of a visualization of a large part of the universe, the beautiful webbing and voids, where galaxies are pixels or less. An aquaintance asked what it was. When I told her, she stared at it like her brain had just crashed. She couldn't process, couldn't believe, the picture, the concept.

People unfamiliar with that artifact is no big deal. But people not having anything to mentally connect it to when they encounter it is scary.
Yeah, apparently Camp Century is under an additional 100ft (!) of snow/ice since it was abandoned.

That is a lot of snow shoveling.
Exactly.

I work in this field. Doing phase 3 clinical trials costs between $5,000 to $20,000 per patient per year.

This particular drug did a phase 3 with 423 patients for 2 years, so you're looking at a cost of $4M to $16M just for this one trial alone. Then add on top all the CMC (manufacturing) research that needs to happen, the regulatory filing work, etc, etc.

Unless someone has a few hundreds of millions sitting around, you aren't bringing a novel drug to market without external funding.

availableToPoll() is the method that blocks, because it can return 0 on an empty ring. When that happens you have to block, by for example busy spinning around availableToPoll() until it returns something to poll.

You are never supposed to call poll() without first calling availableToPoll(). How can you poll something if you don't know if there is something available to poll? This is very different than a ConcurrentLinkedQueue where you can call poll() on an empty queue and get a null to indicate that the queue is empty. Also because the ring is a circular queue, you have to know what you can safely poll before polling. That's all done through availableToPoll().

A couple of references to the Nazis, but no reference to the Nazi book burnings, an incredibly symbolic physical manifestation of knowledge and information destruction, which I'd have thought would be very relevant in this context, i.e. in the praise of physical books? Perhaps it wasn't mentioned because it doesn't quite fit in with the narrative of digital being all bad, given digital knowlege can be more resistant to suppression and physical destruction.

Also some great quotes from 30 years ago, e.g. Carl Sagan's "when awesome technological powers are in the hands of the very few" the nation would “slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness". But did it actually have to end up this way? And is it still possible (with enough collective will power) to push Big Tech profiteering back enough to deliver some of the society enhancing changes originally envisioned in the mid-1990s? Just as it took decades for the full positive implications of the invention of the printing press to come to fruition, perhaps we still need more time before we decry the internet as a net negative?

If you can get a suid root binary into the chroot, then you can control its configuration files to bypass security restrictions.

$ ln /usr/bin/sudo ./my-chroot
$ echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" > ./my-chroot/etc/sudoers.d/01-oops
$ chroot ./my-chroot
$ sudo bash

modern Linux distributions prevent creation of hard links to suid binaries, but the restrictions on chroot came years before that.

Remember when films used to be a tight 90 minutes of snappy editing. Now everything is getting close to 3 hours, it's not because the stories are better or more complex it's people not being ruthless in their editing.

I remember struggling to read dense texts at university. As I've aged and read more, I'm pretty comfortable in the belief that most of the stuff i had to read wasn't that good and was just a boring slog purely because the author liked writing words.

Writers like writing, Readers like reading, and sometimes what they both would benefit from is a ruthless editor to focus their effort.
