You cannot statically compile a lot of stuff. Too many Linux libraries are GPLed, and that only works for open source applications.

And then one day the underlying libraries will have security problems. Your statically linked application has just become a gaping hole.

And finally, you don't want your statically compiled binary to be hundreds of megabytes and take forever to launch, do you? But seeing how many people here are advocating Snap/Flat/AppImage, I guess it's not a problem? But why would you need a Linux userspace or OS in the first place when all you are doing is running virtual containers? You can run them on Windows or MacOS as well.
> Have I missed something? Why is this hard?

Yes,

1. We don't set up accounts together. One just does it, and generally password sharing comes later at some inconvenient time (which is why they're asking the other person to deal with it). Until you can easily copy/send a passkey through an IM, they are less usable than passwords in important ways.

2. Passkeys don't even work on our desktop computer (Linux/Firefox), making them completely unusable.

I'm not pretending phishing doesn't exist, but for us, it creates problems while not solving any problem we have. I'm not really worried about phishing. Autofill and bookmarks already basically mitigate that for us. It's not like I'm going to click on a reddit link that takes me to "fidelity" and think "oh good idea I should check our brokerage".
This is super cool! I would love to learn more about diving into hardware hacking like this, but I feel like the learning curve is basically a hockey stick. Do you have any advice or recommendations for someone like me?
To paraphrase a wise person, "All benchmarks are wrong, but some are useful".

Benchmarking, like modelling or simulation, are one of many imperfect but useful tools researchers can reach for when trying to better understand something.

Benchmarks help us contextualize things. All benchmarks have biases, and some tell us more than others, but they certainly fall under a class of experimentation that falls under "research". Of course, it's important not to overstate findings. Performing well on any given coding benchmark does not tell us "this LLM is, broadly speaking, great at coding", but that it is great at coding as measured by a narrow testing set.

There's also another snake pit to cross I'm that validation methodology is hard (data leakage, appropriate measures and stats, etc...) but plenty of quality research over comes that with rigour and patience.
Yes. There's also libraries that do this, like libsignal.

Gnome tries to focus on UX and does a pretty good job at it. But they're yet to make a regular user oriented distro, which I think could be a better bet at realizing that 'mainstream linux' idea, because at least they'd care enough to try and figure out the things that get in the way of users having linux running.
None of these are deal breakers.

In my experience, users are spooked by 2 things:

1) Lackluster hardware support (not entirely Linux’s fault, but the distros could have a qualified vendor list, for example)

2) Incomplete UI for the OS. Not a single time in the past 20 years did I set up a Linux desktop without the need to spawn a terminal. This is completely unacceptable and user-hostile. None of the other platforms (even Android) require this.
Carlsen is never again going to go 125 classical games without a defeat.
Exactly what I am saying. Users don't need passkeys. Auditors and other guys from the checkbox compliance department on the opposite side do, for "security posture".
Very Interesting! I guess I would still expect the optimization to use the library implementation of memcpy to be invalid when interacting with memory mapped IO. In this case the issue was the size of writes being issued (byte vs word), but you can easily imagine other issues that would not matter something like memcpy. I would have thought volatile might have signaled this, even if the issue here is not related to values being cached in registers. Does zig have a version of volatile?

Soulection Radio #667: The Best of 2024
I suspect that the unspoken bit here is that hardware qualification is extremely important.

On the desktop, Linux is an afterthought for the vast majority of consumer hardware vendors. Many Linux desktop users run configurations which could generously be called “alpha”.

With MS windows, this burden is shouldered by every hardware manufacturer. It’s nonsensical to release a peripheral which doesn’t work on windows. Laptop/desktop makers then qualify common applications to make sure everything works as expected.

If any of the above doesn’t work out, then MS will get a call, or the hardware vendor.
There are different depth of field and focus point. In modern system do you want left eye or right eye focus of the subject the camera choose. Hence whilst one can have a wide angle lens that can roughly good coverage of the scene, tele even normal lens cannot act like what you fancy about if you look carefully.

And this I just have a photo by the camera for the camera with the camera is a market taken over by phone now.

But for photography taken by camera, it is specialised these days. You want a picture you choose, you frame, background blur, for the first photo left ey of the subject of the far right corner and the second is on the right eye of … etc. You choose. And that requires choice by the camera man, or person, not the camera.
where from ""...implies that the attack wasn't against the broadband providers directly, but against one of the intermediary companies that sit between the government CALEA requests and the broadband providers" comes from ? from schneier ?

just for you, I redeployed the old robots.txt (with an additional log-honeypot). I even manually submitted it to the web archive just now so you have something to look at: https://web.archive.org/web/20241231041718/https://wiki.dias...

they ingested it twice since I deployed it. they still crawl those URLs - and I'm sure they'll continue to do so - as others in that thread have confirmed exactly the same. I'll be traveling for the next couple of days, but I'll check the logs again when I'm back.

of course, I'll still see accessed from them, as most others in this thread do, too, even if they block them via robots.txt. but of course, that won't stop you from continuing to claim that "I lied". which, fine. you do you. luckily for me, there are enough responses from other people running medium-sized web stuffs with exactly the same observations, so I don't really care.

There's only so much a company or anyone else can prepare for in advance. I don't recall much hesitation in trying to deal with the spillage.

But seriously what can you expect anyone to do about such a huge disaster. It's literally an ocean-sized cleanup problem in response to a freak accident.

I can see why it may make sense for JetBrains. JetBrains IDEs have extensive support for theming every type of element, and the IDEs are also continually evolving. The actual situation for many JetBrains color schemes (albeit free) are that that you may run into situations where something is not properly styled. I thought of redoing a Nord color scheme for a fun hour-long up to weekend thing and just didn't bother when I learned more about it.
Thank you for discussing this openly, it can be a real bummer to write something, test it, have something work up to a point then fail due to situations outside your control.

You probably just saved me about 20 hours of coding.
It mentioned not penalizing/rewarding the model for thoughts only rewarding the answer after the thought. I am curious how back propagation works then.
In some sense, no - the protocol protects the contents of your messages. In another sense, yes - a compromised server is much easier to collect metadata from.

It's the opposite. Others liking you or not is irrelevant.

> There are expectations if you want others to tolerate your oddities, one of which is you don't get to impose on them.

You absolutely do get to 'impose' them. You can't cause harm to others, but their subjective distaste or apprehension or whatever is not harm. That's what freedom is about.
Even as someone who has bought many fonts for coding, including Pragmata Pro, Operator and others (i.e. not cheap ones), I was blown away that for just the Mono weights in regular and italic is nine hundred and sixty dollars.

Shame, I was curious about trying it. Operator and Pragmata go for $199.

It also irks me that I cannot buy a single user license for Sohne, but a minimum of a 5 user license.

>Reducing my body weight

~10lbs (5% of bodyweight) is the difference between GERD and no gerd for me.

Part of it I assume is increase in viceral fat pressuring stomach. After my threshold weight of 190lbs I have to move up a notch on my lifting belt.

> Avoiding food in the hours before bed

I think another factor is higher BW = more calories = more time for digestion. If I shift meals to 8 hours before bedtime vs 5 hours, GERD also goes away because I have more time to digest.

I also don't get GERD after squat and deadlift days because they reliably make me shit. As an infrequent shitter, GERD is also correlated to how backed up I am.

TLDR is to keep your stomach empty / digestion done before bedtime.

This discussion and what happens in reality shows the opposite: Being unhoused, having a drug addiction, being perceived as having mental health issues, lack of cleanliness, etc. is all treated as deserving of hate and being a target of oppression - people here are openly calling for oppression - and being treated as a criminal.

I doubt you have pure research doctors. Medicine is a field that is so dependent on treatment outcomes. There will be doctors more focused on research. However, I doubt they will stop seeing patients.

Well, you're in luck, sort of. Mozilla has vertical tabs in a new sidebar experience. It's the worst implementation of vertical tabs and a sidebar I've seen in a browser.

This quote from the article is enlightening:

>“Although it is an admirable goal, we know of no provision that is authorized in either general law or specifically granted in the State Constitution, nor has one been provided by Speak Up, which specifically provides a citizen the right to have a body of water that ‘flows, exists in its natural form, is free of pollution, and which maintains a healthy ecosystem,'” the judges wrote.

I think the phrase he quoted was from the case filing. What would it mean if you took that literally? It would probably mean that a Floridian has a right for all of Florida's waterways to be untouched by human activity of any kind, as anything we do can potentially pollute or disturb ecosystems (even if to an insignificant degree). It would also mean that people whose property is under water or bounded by water would be severely restricted as to what can be done with their property.

Part of a judge's job is to not waste everyone's time. If he does not think he has the authority to issue a legitimate ruling on the matter, it is his obligation to defer the issue to someone who can handle it properly, such as the legislature or a higher court.
Japan has private insurance companies and private hospitals, many of them, and does just fine.
Web slowness has much more to do with sites than with browsers. Where sites have accumulated Everest-sized balls of JavaScript mud, web engines have only become more optimized. If you visit “old web” style pages (Macintosh Garden for example) on old machines with modern browsers there’s no speed problem at all.

In the face of all that JS, there’s only so far a spiffy new browser can improve the situation, aside from maybe drop large chunks of legacy web standards but then you’re breaking large chunks of the web.
I thought this, too, but the AGPL isn't bulletproof. Notably, Amazon has a hosted Grafana service, which is under the AGPL, yet they can still compete Grafana.

The idea that a FOSS company can sell services around its code runs into the problem that Amazon can sell many of those same services better, while not bearing the development costs.
Looks like you run the job, the service hits your webhook when the queue is up.

> All I want is for the laws on the books to be enforced.

That's an old rationalization of oppression. The reality is that we don't want all the laws enforced on themselves or their friends, and the laws are never enforced in toto on anyone, except the politically vulnerable.

These changes were a part of the 2024 edition of the Player's Handbook (PHB) and Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG), both now published, with more of it to come in other updated books.

Telcos need a way to comply with court orders. That's it.
There was no reason to call it something it's not ("chain of cont. thought" ≠ coconut).
They look the other way for lots of people doing lots of things. Let's start enforcing laws at the top, where the actions are far more consequential, rather than on the vulnerable people at the bottom.
This is great, I've been looking for a service that does exactly this for a while now. Any thoughts on a hobbyist plan between free and indie? The jump from 100 to 500k feels like a lot.
Ask HN: Centralizing spring boot logs(using almost anything)?
I work at big tech here in Bangladesh and I have a good prospect under my belt. The company yet doesn't has logs centralization. So, I was thinking of applying logs centralization.

Here is the current architecture:

- The application is hosted on kubernetes cluster.

- The logs by application(not of kubernetes) are emitted to a volume mount that the pod is currently running on.

- For example, there are 2 different nodes. Microservice A is emitting logs to node1 when it's running on node1. Similarly, vice-versa.

- Now, I want to keep those logs at one place.

- ELK stack caught my attention.

- I googled a lot but having a tough time to find anything useful information.

What I want?

A Curated guide that:

- gives me a sample java app that emits logs

- and helps to centralize it as shown in scenario above.

I prefer manual installations over command line than docker containers but anything is fine for me.

There is so much wrong with this letter that it's hard to know where to start.

Let's start with the idea that they've invested a lot (13 billion+) or that they're depending a lot (undisclosed).
Maybe this is a lot for you and me, but MS has 80 billion lying around in cash, after the investment.

Thats not the capital they have access to - its the bit of the capital they haven't got around to investing yet.

Secondly there's this perpetual idea that everything in tech is a bubble. Sure some is. Maybe you're old enough to remember the dot-com bubble? You know, when that internet-fad thing went away? Or the iPhone bubble? Or the Facebook bubble?

The bubble isn't investing in the primary tech - it's investing in the millions of startups test appear to first exploit that tech.

To the letter author - here's Satya's real letter;

I think this is a good analogue. A smart card is a challenge-response system where sure you could extract the inner key, but doing so would take time and require destroying the card, which would alert the user— we all learned years ago about skimming and now the payment terminal comes to our table rather than the card being carried off elsewhere.

TPM is one piece of a larger puzzle and provides a middle ground where among other things you can get full disk encryption without needing to input a memorized key on every boot.
