We can use any AI we want but only on our work laptop. The work laptop cannot install any useful dev tool so we connect to the remote machine for any code write/build/execution, and if needed copy/paste anything we find online or from an llm.

So work laptop has internet, dev machine doesn't. Dev machine has access to some nexus repository (some are proxies to the internet like pip, maven-central, nodejs, some rpm like EPEL, etc) and can actually run code (laptop doesn't, lots of windows "security" stuff activated that require signing the code for every edit).

I think they call it "security" or something like that. They pay reasonnably well and working hours window is reasonnably small so at this point I don't care anymore. At least I avoid the cloud "cool kids" crowd where everything has to be the absolutely latest tech and nobody really knows why everything is re-written every 6 months.
Yes, it's definitely a cool project! Sometimes it's hard to stop reading and listening at all there is to learn and instead code... I hope to have the itineraries with directions done by end of January.
Thanks will have a look!

Hey i love cronitor! Happy user here , it has saved me from multiple disasters. Thank you for building it.

I was taught that “green” (midori) is basically only for vegetation and things you want to say are similar to it. Even green apples are “blue” (aoi).

It's everywhere. You're simply wrong. Sort by date, sort by score, look on any broader news story and check out the comments. They're not "extreme", either. Even if their content was, which it isn't, it still wouldn't be extreme by definition at this point.
Egalitarian policies from left-leaning governments. This is the common factor (cf. west europe).

Tolerate bad behavior, scepticism towards discipline and efforts... the results are very logical.

India has over 1 billion people, and millions of engineers, that is not surprising at all because even if a small fraction applies for H-1B they would quickly surpass the quota.

And if the quota is met, that is fine. The program exists primarily to satisfy talent demand.

US employers have much to win delaying the green card process to have more leverage on the employee.
Show HN: WalledGarden – A SIM You Control (RBI/GeoAuth/VPN/NGFW/Socks/Pcap/SDX)
Hello HN, somewhat foolishly I've followed the same line of reasoning as Ray Kinsella and built it (thankfully not in a field, although maybe it could pass as a "SIM of (only my?) Dreams"?)...

walledgarden.ai's P (data SIM card) - of the fabled MVP - seeks MF for PMF; the SIM (eSIM is on the roadmap, subject to demand) features:

SIM Isolation/RBI - restrict access from the SIM to Remote Browser Isolation services (e.g. Hyperbeam[0]), limiting the number of routes for data to leave the device/phone. This can also be expanded to cover other services - allow only Hyperbeam[0]+Beeper[1]+VoIP for RBI web browsing+messaging+calls, RethinkDNS[2] & Orbot[3], WireGuard, etc.

GeoAuth - IMEI, ICCID and/or Location attestation, that can be used for network control of SIM traffic (e.g. automatic blocking of banking and/or bitcoin app connectivity when outside, or inside, of your defined geofence(s)).

VPN (VN) - "clientless VPN" tunneling. Route traffic via WireGuard or Tailscale, without requiring a VPN client/Tailscale on the device.

Firewalls - opt to route your SIM's traffic through multiple vendors' Enterprise/"Next Generation"/<insert network-security-buzzword(s) here> Firewalls, to facilitate threat-intel-based blocking.

SOCKS/Tor - enable clientless/transparent proxying of TCP traffic via SOCKS or Tor.

Pcap - enable packet capture/visibility & analysis of all traffic sent via the SIM's data connection; trust but verify your device's/phone's OS and/or app connectivity (e.g. DNS traffic can leak outside the VPN tunnel on Android[4], iOS VPN leak[5], etc).

SocialsDetox[6] - network-based blocking of Social Media (+others).

It is a data-only SIM card, so no traditional voice/VoLTE connectivity (albeit VoIP will work), offering roaming connectivity in over 90 countries.

The signup process is currently high friction (CC+ACH/BACS/SEPA, shipping a physical SIM, etc), the data rates are not intended to be cost-competitive with existing "dumb" carriers, and such an offering will not appeal to everybody.

Quite simply the product is functional and I'm now seeking patient early adopters, prepared to wait for a SIM in the mail, who can see enough value in their use case(s) to vote with their wallets and signup. Hopefully those same early adopters will be willing and active participants in the walledgarden.ai community, to provide feedback and vote for new features/use cases (all suggestions are welcome).

PS: aTdHvAaNnKcSe for reading, it has been somewhat of a trial just to get this far with the product; oh the joys of (cellular networks|Machines|industry changes)!.
V13.2 is probably close to 1000 miles per critical intervention now. Geofence it, avoid stupidly dangerous UPLs and fix some map issues and they're already on par with Waymo. Next version has 3x the number of parameters and 3x context length. If you know anything about scaling laws you wouldn't be betting on Waymo right now.
I still prefer to own movies I like and I have many of them. (no, not SO many as YOU have, my adversary). I think that having them will allow me one day to stop paying constantly more and more expensive subscriptions.

By the way, for me, the DVD standard was very strange. I think that the engineering industry works differently than IT/CS guys. They think of "a product" which consists of the medium AND the "protocol" i.e. file format in this case, and they are inseparable in their (engineers') heads.

When new codecs were created, the DVD could have been enhanced in terms of better quality, as normal DivX would allow maximally better quality on 4.7G (instead of 7GB available to DVD publisher). But when I am watching DVDs I find the low quality disturbing, and playing the interlaced movies (Futurama for example) without a decent player makes me nauseous.

I would even think of converting them and storing on my local cloud but without decent player (like Cyberlink which was removing the interlacing) this looks like crap... Also probably today some AI upscaling would be nice... but I think I am asking for too much...

And the six-day war showed that destroying someone's air force on the ground can actually be done - twice, I think (Egypt and Syria).

Mind you, the US is big, and even ICBMs would take enough time, presumably even if they're fired from a sub just off the coast, that you could get some of your bombers and silo missiles airborne. Submarines are an extra layer of insurance on top of that.

The UK is not that big, so their backup is a letter from the prime minister in a safe inside the submarine, with instructions what to do if they find the UK has been destroyed.
I actually think robotaxis will never really catch on widely in the US outside of big cities or maybe very poor people with no other option or misc use cases like if you own a car and drop it off at the dealership or if you’re out with friends and want to go home early. Most of the US is designed for you to own a car and drive it everywhere, just because cars can drive themselves now isn’t going to make self driving taxis more convenient than driving yourself without changes to how cities are already set up. Eg if you use a taxi you have to drag all your stuff with you and it’s less convenient if you live in a place where parking is effectively guaranteed. I think it will displace the existing app based taxi market and regular taxis by offering lower prices but greed will prevent companies from pricing them low enough for them to truly get people to stop driving personal vehicles. They’re really going to do well in parts of the world where taxis are already very popular because parking is limited or expensive like Singapore, Japan, China, and Europe.

> "Minimal", maybe, "small to no", nay :D

Considering the original phrase was 'minimal or no', I am glad that you now agree.

> you linked the presenter literally says - "no JavaScript, just HTMX" - but HTMX is written in guess what? Very dishonest.

It's difficult to take this seriously. Just wait until you find out most of Python is written in C! Very dishonest!
The trick is called cherry picking. Mine the seed until you get something demo-worthy.
Thanks Ollie
When vacuum tubes were only reliable until they burned out (which they did quite often [1], and sometimes in ways that were difficult to detect directly), they probably seemed quite useless for the amount being invested in them. Calculations had to be repeated often enough to rule out circuit errors, but repeated use is also what caused them to fail. The Selectron tube hardly became mature enough to be integrated (it had to be scaled down, and its intended use case ended up going with the competing Williams-Kilburn tube). Researchers could have abandoned tube designs for delay-line memory, or even called it quits and gone back to the abacus and slide rule.

Decades before that, we had a solution for holding a few hundreds of bits (up to low thousands of bits) in drum memory [2]. This depended a lot on the quality and evenness of the ferromagnetic material, and on reads being timed correctly. Researchers could have called it impractical and gone back to pencil and paper, there weren't even really computing devices to use them yet.

Sometimes it's good to keep persisting at a problem space despite the impracticality of the current tech. I'm sure you can point to tech that continued to be impractical, but it doesn't mean that will always be so.

Did I misread the article?
Also, DVD is still a standard in medical imaging, which baffles me, because many people do not own drives anymore, but I think this is as close to "owning your own test results" as possible. I cannot imagine someone saying "sorry, you have not extended your subscription to our health-cloud and your results are gone"
Well, Kubrick and Clarke developed 2001 together, based pretty loosely on the Clarke short story The Sentinel, so I don't think it is applicable.

My friends also think Keto is unsustainable, the way I think it about it is sugar/carbs are more addictive than alcohol, pay attention to the language use "sugar rush" "sugar crash" this is how we talk about addictive drugs not food

"Win" the argument as in "stop the conversation because when someone drops that nuke they have made it clear that there's no rebuttal that will be accepted".

Luckily, once you're in the voting booth, you don't need to argue with someone to vote: all you need to do is make your marks and hand in the paper.

This theory is wrong, because there is no magenta light on the real light spectrum. The colour spectrum is perceived as a wheel/circle in our minds, but it is a straight line in physical reality. Thus, these opposites are imaginary and not real.

the US hasn't had a left-leaning government in 50 years. probably longer even, if ever
On the other hand, the rise of longform independent games and film journalism/criticism on YouTube has filled the gap pretty well.

Citation on the non Indian workers doing less work?

Also the workers on a visa make can be deported if they lose their job. That makes them dependent on their employer to stay in the US. That makes the visa holders less likely to ask for wages at the going rate or to vote with their feet to go to another company that would treat and pay them better. How is that not discrimination?
Dynamic linking on iOS is complex, and Android also brings some toolchain complexities. It would be possible to do a native build and link it, and that is a route we are also exploring, but a single C file that can be linked with any existing toolchain would simplify things for users.

It also allows us to implement a VFS layer underneath PGlite in a native mode. So things like the in-memory VFS, or a custom VFS, would be possible.

We have not committed to one route or the other yet.

Such news always remind me of the great filter hypothesis [1].

Meteorite dials are quite common. Meteorite cases are rarer because they are not overly practical. They rust, unless treated, and even then the coating isn't impervious. Still its nice to see a "rolex midas" style watch back on the market. The big watch people (omega, rolex, and the other brands owned by LVMH) are a bit conservative in styles, so its nice to see something different, if brutalist.

It's Australian and more specifically focused on Victoria, a state with some of the longest global lockdown periods, while more generally comparing to other global educational research on the pandemic effect.

How many, outside a few vocal voices, actually cares about the licensing? My company would choose Redis 100/100 times, because it's the known and trusted brand, and not some fork they've never even heard of. And the license change doesn't affect us in any way.

Additionally, I think it's a bit entitled to be so up in arms about a product everyone is using for free. There is a big issue with how open source is unmaintainable to do in our industry, and I applaud Redis' attempt at trying to fix it.
Hey! My son used your site! So, thanks for that. This was a couple of years ago that a music teacher recommended it to him to help boost his progress. I think you continue to sell because your prices are very good for what you are offering, and the site is designed in a way that allows anyone to pick up on things fairly quickly.
I built a Home Inventory software back in 2006 called Attic Manager:

https://guacosoft.com/attic/

In the first few years it only sold a couple of copies per quarter, but then Intuit decided to discontinue support for their Quicken Home Inventory programs and users got stuck. I added the ability to import that data and then the sales started doing well. It has tapered off in the past three years but I still get some months over $500 during the year. I haven't really done any marketing, as it's just a Home Inventory program I made for myself, to keep track of stuff when we were moving to a new home.

As far as I know, Attic Manager is still the only program which can load QHI data.
Isn’t this a year old news?

It was called LCM/Turbo in SD and it generated absolute crap most of the times, just like this one. Which is likely yet another “ground-breaking” finetune of SD.
Yes, but there is still much to be optimistic about.

Quite curious, I have been scraping some websites for my girlfriend with nodejs/puppeteer and put the content on an .epub file (she likes to read on her e-reader) and it can be quite annoying to bypass some anti-scraping techniques.
The frustrating thing about all of this is that Cognizant didn't really get in trouble for blatantly abusing the H1B program, but for discriminating against non-Indians.

If they'd just keep their non-Indian workers happy, they could've, in all likelihood, continued abusing the H1B program forever.

It is perfectly sensible to consider data and medium to be single product when you cannot update the software running on products that read it. It was not great sell to tell people to go get new player each time new codec was released. Or tell that these new movies do not work anymore.

I have a favourite test for LLMs that is also still surprisingly not passed by many:

You walk up to a glass door. It has 'push' written on it in mirror writing. What should you do and why.

Very few can get it right, even fewer can get it right and explain the right reason. They’ll start going on about how mirror writing is secret writing and push written backwards is code for pull, rather than just that it’s a message for the person on the other side.

> the big benefit is parallel computing at a massive scale

The problem with this line of reasoning is that, even though a quantum system might have many possible states, we only observe a single one of those states at the time of measurement. If you could somehow prepare a quantum system such that it encoded the N equally-likely solutions to your classical problem, you would still need to rerun that experiment (on average) N times to get the correct answer.

Broadly speaking, quantum computing exploits the fact that states are entangled (and therefore correlated). By tweaking the circuit, you can make it so that incorrect solutions interfere destructively while the correct solution interferes constructively, making it more likely that you will measure the correct answer. (Of course this is all probabilistic, hence the need for quantum error correction.) But developing quantum algorithms is easier said than done, and there's no reason to think a priori that all classical problems can be recast in this manner.
