> that means you need to run NixOS for that to work

Does it? I'm pretty sure you're able to run Nix (the package manager) on Arch Linux for example, I'm also pretty sure you can do that on things like macOS too but that I haven't tested myself.

Or maybe something regarding this has changed recently?
Network security is a myth. NATS, firewalls, ACLs, etc don't keep you safe. Even on your Wifi LAN right now, you aren't safe from local network attacks originating from outside attackers.
No worries. I took the metaphor too far and you rightfully called me out. I'm still learning how to write well, I promise you'll see better from me in the future.

In the same vein, no one hates them unless they didn't grow up with them. If you'd have grown up with glass straws, you'd love glass straws, especially if you'd been brought up being taught about the harms of single use plastics.

99% of these things are entirely cultural and habitual.
I thought it was about LLM training but it’s actually prompt engineering.
The reason I bothered to respond is that there is a common tendency to look back at historical people and see them as extremely primitive -- with little knowledge, with little entertainment, with little going on. That they would have had nothing better to do than to look at the sky.

And that's what I'm pushing back on. No, that's just not true. Obviously some people were interested in the sky, and it was a tool for certain things, but OP literally said "There was really nothing else to do." That's a complete misunderstanding of human society in history. And it's important we don't reduce our ancestors to these primitive stereotypes.

It's also important to push back on the idea that there were no distractions. OP says "no internet, no devices, no tv..." but there was extensive village gossip, games, stories... fundamentally we had all the same kind of distractions. We're a lot more similar than OP thinks.

You're supposed to read the abstract, preferably the bottom half first to see if there are conclusions there, then proceed to the conclusions if the abstract is insufficient. Once you're through with that, you can skim the introduction and decide if the paper is worth your attention.

Reading start to finish is only worth it if you're interested in the gory details, I'm usually not.
To add: Surely not just there, tho.
Almost certainly the heat.
Are you sure about that? Because I was under the impression that these firewall rules are configured by Docker. So if you use Docker Compose with Podman emulating the Docker socket, this shouldn’t happen.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment.
I think that you missed the point and should have read until "That’s exactly how we feed codebases to AI"... ;-)

Actually, the article shows that feed an AI with "structured" source code files instead of just "flat full set" files allow the LLM to give better insights
> Do you have documentation on how you built the whole system

Or any actual "proof" (i.e. source code) that your method is useful? I have seen a hundred articles like this one and, surprise!, no one ever posts source code that would confirm the results.

Plenty of people have been buying glass over plastic exactly when possible for this reason. Those people show that it's a concious decision and are not to be waved away.
Sure, he has said this but the few times I've heard him discuss it in any length he raises concerns over how little we know given how vaccine safety studies are done. He also raises examples of individuals he has met with stories that, in his opinion, are concerning enough to raise questions for him whether there is a link between certain vaccines and autism rates.

> Vaccination has probably saved more lives and is better researched than most, if not all, aspects of healthcare.

It's worth noting that the fact checking article you linked to doesn't really include much in the way of fact checking. They don't include and then discredit specific studies or data points that RFK uses. They do include a few quotes from credentialed individuals like the one above, though it ultimately says nothing and includes fluffy words like "probably saved..."

With that said, I have no idea how much of a smoking gun there might be linking vaccines to autism. My point here isn't that RFK is right, but it is important to at least represent his arguments accurately and to discredit with proper data to show that his view isn't backed by the data.
I am am apostle for "advanced manufacturing" which is a longer term theme.

The north star is that there are some people on Mars who know that the stream of supplies from Earth will stop and that their children having a future is contingent on being able to manufacture everything from metal to plastics to microchips and pharmaceuticals with as small a population and industrial base as possible.

Closer to home and more urgent are problems such as decarbonization, relocalization, etc. If a doctor on Mars needs a synthesizer which can make mRNA, peptide and protein-based drugs for any condition, so does a doctor in Rwanda. Drexler's program in

https://www.amazon.com/Nanosystems-P-K-Eric-Drexler/dp/04715...

has definitely not progressed. Maybe we can't make a 1kg machine that can make itself and everything else, but could we shrink the manufacturing base such that a population of 1M people could be self-sufficient at a high technology level? Can we make all the things that we depend on and be carbon neutral? Can we continue the miniaturization of electronics?

Getting just part of the way to those goal could pay rich dividends.
> We didn't make the guides better

That sucks, because that means anything built not to that standard (which I guess is a US one?) could lead the person to hurt themselves/the house.

One doesn't exclude the other, and most likely both are needed if you're aiming to actually eliminate the problem as well as you can.
I have been trying to figure out how to publish evals or benchmarks for this.

But where can I get high quality data of codebases, prompts, and expected results? How do I benchmark one codebase output vs another?

Would love any tips from the HN community

The RISC-V cores are innocent accomplices. Having a mix of cores with and without secure boot gives attackers more tool to play with. The exploit works because if both sets of cores are "permanently" disabled the hardware state machine instead of bricking the chip starts the RISC-V cores. Just defaulting to the ARM cores would've prevented this exploit from working.

It also looks like the chip designers didn't know about the read-persistence between the validation pattern reads and the actual configuration reads achievable by glitching only the OTP memory block (the USB peripheral isn't enabled at this stage). Without access to the documentation for the OTP memory block we can only guess who deserves the most of the blame for this oversight.
It’s hard to say because as far as I know this stuff hasn’t been definitively tested on any courts that I know of. Europe not America.

AI models are generally regarded as a company’s asset (like a customer database would also be), and rightly so given the cost required to generate one. But that’s a different matter entirely to copyright.

This is actually one of defined and quite successful current management models.
If we're being pedantic, then I'd say "old stud finders" are still being sold (second hand for example), so "every stud finder for sale these days" isn't correct either.

Best to just say "most" or "some" to cover all corner cases :)
I assure you this motivation does not exist in a vacuum, and many will quite rightly find achievement more important than generating capital for someone else.
No it wasn't. That is Space Exploration, and it's wildly different.
Sure, though that doesn't really say anything about what others did. If we want to use what Trump says and does as the bar for everyone else, people would be doing very little wrong.
To me, this post really just highlights how important the human element will remain. Without achieving the same level of contextual understanding of the code base, I have no clue as to whether or not the AI warning makes any sense.

At a superficial level, I have no idea what "shared patterns" means or why it logically follows that sharing them would cause a race condition. It also starts out talking about authentication changes, but then cites a PR that modified "retry logic"—without that shared context, it's not clear to me that an auth change has anything to do with retry logic unless the retry is related to retries on authentication failures.
Hey everyone. Original author here, glad you're enjoying the guide. I don't know how you even found it, but grats on that too. Happy to answer any questions here (for the next day or so) or on the discussions tab of the repo.
Hmm if it was $20 per year I'd do it. Just saying. I'm not interested in the product for the price. It's just not $60 per year important to me.

What was this primary process you are referring to? They didn't allow debates, Biden didn't take part, and we ended up with a candidate selected by committee rather than by primary vote.
But there's no such thing as a fish!
What should it have said about time zones?
I used to do this and, for me, the time it took was entirely dependent on the gear I was provided and whether the climb was enjoyable. The gear isn’t exactly what you think of when you think climbing gear and, frankly, it’s infuriating. It might be manufactured by Petzl but the weight and utility are terrible relative to their alpine and mountaineering products. Hell, I was expected to wear work boots that were extremely heavy and climbed poorly. As far as scenery, everyone, myself included, would treat these climbs as climbs and would enjoy ourselves if the views were scenic. The work itself wasn’t hard relative to the trips we were guiding during the climbing season.
It's not unreasonable to argue for socialized healthcare based on treatment denials in private healthcare, since there are impactful differences in the incentives driving denials and rationing in private vs socialized healthcare. I agree that the argument should be more nuanced than just "denials happen".

The incentive for private health insurers is to raise prices and increase denial rate until people are unwilling or unable to pay. People will pay until they can't, since they don't want to die, so this can be pushed pretty far. The incentive for socialized healthcare, at least in principle, is to provide people with as much treatment as is feasible for the amount of incoming funds. In one case rationing is driven by a need to remain solvent and in the other case it's driven by profit maximization. The different incentives lead to significant differences in how people are impacted by the denials/rationing that necessarily exist in both systems.
I’ll also acknowledge, by elaboration, that there never was a substantiated argument to begin with.
This is so true.

Sandstorm has been part of my selfhosted stack since it was a start-up, and it has worked for a decade with virtually zero attention, and no exploits I am aware of.

If there are other hosted apps that want a really easy on-ramp for new users: packaging for sandstorm is an easy way to create one.

Oh, yep, I’ve no doubt that if they can ever actually get planning through for the damn thing, they’ll be able to build it. In Ireland it’s generally the planning that’s the problem.

What I’m curious about, though, is what, if anything, changed to make this single-bore approach suddenly popular. A lot of new metro lines seem to be built that way, but old (and not, like, 19th century, even most 20th century stuff) always seem to be double-bore.

It is true. Why do you believe the US does not export much?

Without knowing exactly how createNewGroup and addFileToGroup are implemented it is hard to tell, but it looks like the code snippet has a bug where the last group created is never pushed to groups variable.

> For crypto miners, it’s pretty easy to tell if your servers are in your house. Even if they aren’t, if you have any kind of metrics collection, you’ll notice the CPU spike.

Sure, but if you already know since before that this specific cryptominer has been found together with rootkits, and you know rootkits aren't as easy to detect, what's your approach to validate if you're infected or not?

Maybe I'm lucky that I can tear down/up my infrastructure relatively easily (thanks NixOS), but I wouldn't take my chances when it's so close to private data.
The change makes me question the authenticity of the text. I mean, did the author actually read files from top to bottom, or did he just write that because it suited his narrative?

That’s a trivial change to make for a line that did not receive the feedback that the author wanted. If that’s the case, maybe the text was more about saying what people wanted to hear than honestly portraying how to make AI read code better.
> recycling plastics is not cost effective

This is a specious claim with an unjustified goal. Municipal waste management is not expected to be “cost effective”. We don’t need to recycle because it’s profitable, we need to recycle to reduce plastic production and plastic waste.

Of course we need to reduce demand, you’re right. We need to avoid plastics in the first place, and that should be higher priority than recycling.

But there’s nothing wrong with the idea of recycling. Yes, today’s recycling is not happening as advertised. But that’s not because recycling doesn’t work, it’s because people aren’t doing it. It’s a social problem we have, not a process problem.
Oh, I was confused, thanks a lot.

And, indeed, reading every file from top to bottom is very alien to me as a junior.

I would just try to get to the file I thought the change I needed was made and start trying and error. Definitely not checking the core files, much less creating a mental model of the architecture (the very concept of architecture would be alien to me then).

I would do get lost in irrelevant details (because I thought they were relevant), while completely missing the details that did matter.
As I understand it, self-radicalization (via social media) happens when a person succumbs to the algorithm. Some kind of feedback loop. A susceptable person innocently watchs some right leaning video (Joe Rogan) and they're quickly drawn into QAnon, crisis actors, and ancient civilizations.

Have you read Potkin's Stalin diary? His theory is the October Revolution succeeded, where all prior attempts had failed, because Emperial Russia's elites couldn't be bothered to bolster the ruling regime, yet again. Potkin further says this is how all successful revolutions play out.

Are you referring to something like that?

Potkin completely changed my view of the "reactionary centrists", like the NY Times. The Village, the Beltway, whatever our elites are called. For whatever reason, they no longer give a shit about democracy, neoliberalism (much less all social progress since woman's suffrage), and the "maritime order" of the post-WWII America hegomony.

So much so, the reactionaries (Heritage, Federalist Society, etc) are orchestrating another Constitutional Convention. The goal is to lock-in their world view.

For better or worse. And now we'll find out.

"Nobody want's to rewrite our Constitution! That's absurd!"

I know I sound "shrill" and alarmist and nutty. Simply restating outloud what reactionaries themselves claim are their end goals makes one sound insane.

Thanks for reading. Also, I'm keen to hear other people's hot takes.
Yeah it's a story. So what ?
If you'd have liked evals or implementation details then you can just say so.

People can and are free to tell stories if they want. It's not some failing. You don't have to engage with it anymore than that.

I'm pretty sure I head that phrase sometime in the 90s, maybe early 2000s. It's been around a while.
There was not such a tool when I learned how to do this. Quadlet is relatively new (podman 5) so lots of podman/systemd documentation refers to podman commands that generate systemd unit files. I agree there is a gap.
The problem is that this isn't an attack against a single chips unique code signing key, but against all RP2350 ever produced with this hardware revision. The problem can't be fixed in software. Now the attack doesn't require anything fancier than a hot air gun, and an interposer board to isolate the USB_OTP_VDD pin for glitching, and a pair of steady hands.
> AI models are intellectual property

If companies train on data they don't own and expect to own their model weights, that's hypocritical.

Model weights shouldn't be copyrightable if the training data was pilfered.

But this hasn't been tested because models are locked away in data centers as trade secrets. There's no opportunity to observe or copy them outside of using their outputs as synthetic data.

On that subject, training on model outputs should be fair use, and an area we should use legislation to defend access to (similar to web scraping provisions).
How old are these browsers and why should I let them online? Must be decades old.
Amazing. I just don't know what to say, except that anyone who doesn't know how to open a firewall port has no business running Docker, or trying to understand containerization.

As someone says in that PR, "there are many beginners who are not aware that Docker punches the firewall for them. I know no other software you can install on Ubuntu that does this."

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge can install Docker on Ubuntu -- you don't need to know a thing about ufw or iptables, and you may not even know what they are. I wonder how many machines now have ports exposed to the Internet or some random IoT device as a result of this terrible decision?
Totally understood and not under debate. I could have been more clear.

"3N" is blatant infringement, or at least would be understood as such in the US. China simply doesn't enforce trademark infringement in the same way. I am not opining on whether China should.
>I'm not going to risk my life or that of my kids, I'll wait until I can do a safe overtaking.

What I hear when you say that is:

"I will follow you for several miles ignoring whaat other people would consider fine passing opportunities (and me waving my arm out the window at you trying to get you to go around) until a bunch of pissed off traffic stacks up until some guy with a Dodge Charger (or whatever, you get the stereotype) comes along and decides to pass us all at once in a sketchy way, to everyone's detriment"

And from there it goes one of two ways. Either you get the message and pass me at the next decent (to the average person, not you) opportunity or you squander that opportunity and the second guy in line passes you both of us at a reasonable time and that repeats.

Now, obviously when someone who gives off those sorts of vibes shows up I'll pull over at the first available opportunity to force them to pass but when you're talking a 2-lane with no shoulder and ditches and a combination too long to use a driveway as a pull off it could be awhile.

Listen, I get it, not everyone can pass, some people have higher standards than others for . There's people towing trailers, there's heavy trucks, student drivers, old people, shitboxes running on three cylinders, etc, etc. But that doesn't make the situation safer and for a normal person in a normal car in normal conditions to subject themselves to that is just, ugh.... misguided

interesting to read this and thank you for writing it.. I suspect that many are missing the deeper roots of "folk" that contributed to the whole thing.. Media was evolving at that time, so certain media figures tend to represent the whole thing in the perception of many, but media products were not the only effects. Some aspects of the cultural emergence have roots more than two thousand years IMHO

The responsibility angle on the problem of competence is to remind people that the critical difference between an incompetent human and incompetent machine is that a human can be held accountable for his actions, whereas “accountability” has no meaning for a machine.

A plane crashed in South Korea, recently. The pilots died in the crash. This is as it should be: the people directly responsible for safety put their own lives on the line. There may be other responsible people, and they must be found and prosecuted.
