The ports thing is what convinced me to transition to Podman. I don't need a container tool doing ports on my behalf.

Why am I running containers as a user that needs to access the Docker socket anyway?

Also, shoutout to the teams that suggest easy setup running their software in a container by adding the Docker socket into its file system.
I forced an analogy and took the metaphor too far. I promise you'll see better from me in the future!

CS 153: Infrastructure at Scale
I don't think you broke any (did not downvote). But you wrote something along the lines "Sysadmins were always the ones who focused on making things secure, and for a bunch of reasons they basically don’t exist anymore. I guess this is fine." before you edited the last bit out. I think those who downvoted you think that this is plain wrong.

I guess it's fine if you get rid of sysadmins and have dev splitting their focus across dev, QA, sec, and ops. It's also fine if you have devs focus on dev, QA, code part of the sec and sysadmins focus on ops and network part of the sec. Bottom line is - someone needs to focus on sec :) (and on QAing and DBAing)
> Where does this misconception come from?

When docker first appeared, a lot of people explaining docker to others said something along the lines "It's like a fast VM you can create with a Dockerfile", leading a bunch of people to believe it's actually not just another process + some more stuff, but instead an actual barrier between host/guest like in a proper VM.

I remember talking about this a lot when explaining docker to people in the beginning, and how they shouldn't use it for isolation, but now after more than a decade with that misconception still being popular, I've lost energy about it...
I think the argument is that their labour is being subsidised which amounts to a benefit for BigSam.

If we had a USB or negative income tax system then that benefit would be clearly spread across the whole population evenly but instead the stamp system has many rules and restrictions that allow Walmart to strategically benefit by both positioning the role at just the right amount to qualify for the benefit (but no more) and frustratingly by being the vendor honouring the stamps.
Show HN: PostalMime, Email parsing library for browsers, web workers, serverless
We have been hiring around 1-2 employees per month.

You can check our team page (https://serpapi.com/team) against its WaybackMachine (http://web.archive.org/web/20220127075144/https://serpapi.co...).

It’s less than we were targeting and are still hiring. Around 40-50 this year.

Regarding onboarding and tenure, we have virtually 0% turn over so far - which is one of the strongest if not the strongest metric for management performance - outside of us terminating people.

Regarding activity on HN, I am genuinely on HN at least 4-5 times per day. Probably too much lol. It has been good to find like-minded people, our people, and HN has been instrumental in building a very-like-minded, highly trusted, highly motivated, and super smart team.

We do reject a lot of people. And I am sorry if we had rejected you in the past.
You could argue that it was an oversight by Raspberry Pi to default to the cores without TrustZone if the configuration read from OTP was invalid. It doesn't matter that those cores are RISC-V an ARM -v6M or -v7M core would've worked too.

Kind of, Windows 10X was going to be the final reboot, also with Win32 sandboxing.

Instead they have been bringing UWP infrastructure into Win32 execution environment, but hardly anyone cares nowadays, unless there is no way to reach the same functionality with classical Win32/COM APIs.

However due to security issues like last year Crowdstrike, Win32 sandboxing is pretty much part of Windows roadmap.
Thanks! No worries, we all live and learn. :)

Probably the "we can do everything and anything right now easy peasy, for serious of just just for the heck of it" attitude needs to be dialed down. The industry promises the heavens and devilish charm while releasing not even half cooked unnecessary garbage sometimes, that has bells and whistles to distract from the poor quality and not thought through, rushed illusions, that can chop all your imaginary limbs off in a sidestep or even without complete uninterrupted attention.

Things potentially making big trouble like circular saw tables have prety elaborate protection mechanisms built in. Rails on high places, seatbelt, safety locks come to mind as well of countless unmentioned ones protecting those paying attention and those does not alike. Of course, decades of serious accidents promted these measures and mostly it is regulated now not being a courtesy of the manufacturer, other industries matured to this level. Probably IT industry needs some growing up still and less children playing adults - some kicking in the ass for making so rubishly dangerous solutions. Less magic, more down to earth reliability.

The guide is primarily written from an "offline game preservation" standpoint and assuming that you already own a copy, but I'm not naive as to who will also get value out of it, and I do include enough info that non-owners can still follow along. I'm also fairly morally-flexible when it comes to demoing games before purchase, especially considering that publishers often have zero concern whether the product they're selling me will even work on my Linux machine - hopefully that is not something I will even need to think about in a decade from now.

But yes, in general I fully agree that you should support when you can, and even from a practical standpoint it's much easier to keep games up-to-date when you own a copy.
I'm fascinated by stories like these, because I think it shows that LLM's have only shown a small amount of their potential so far.

In a way, we've solved the raw "intelligence" part -- the next token prediction. (At least in certain domains like text.)

But now we have to figure out how to structure that raw intelligence into actual useful thinking patterns. How to take a problem, analyze it, figure out ways of breaking it down, try those ways until you run into roadblocks, then start figuring out some solution ideas, thinking about them more to see if they stand up to scrutiny, etc.

I think there's going to be a lot of really interesting work around that in the next few years. A kind of "engineering of practical thinking". This blog post is a great example of one first step.
My kids and I have watched tons of documentaries over the years. One they (and I) enjoyed very much was "World's Toughest Fixes", which was hosted by a rigger named Sean Riley. In episode (s1e6) he helps a crack team of guys replace the top broadcast pole (name?) at the top of a 2000ft antennae. It's really extraordinary how they are working above the top of the actual tower to replace the old pole with the new one.

His entire series was excellent, but the episode mentioned is here:

Maybe, but if there is a diversity of AI implementations plus real humans using the system, it may not be practical to fool everyone.

Dark patterns work because human psychology is fairly homogeneous. It’s possible that AI will be similar, but I suspect that won’t be the case.

The difference is that Biden did not run on a fascist platform that promised to throw tens of millions into camps and imprison his political enemies.

He was also not a twice-impeached felon who started a violent insurrection and tried to steal an election.

Trump is a far-right criminal and not in any way a normal president. He would be rotting in a prison cell (if not strapped to the electric chair) were it not for the blatant corruption of the judiciary. Instead, he’s sitting on his golden throne and soliciting bribes from groveling and pathetic tech CEOs.
People aren't complaining that Apple Photos is installed by default. They're complaining that it's sending data up to Apple by default. You have to explicitly opt in to Google Photos backing up your photos to the cloud. That setting is not on by default.
After eating up all of the data on the internet, the obvious next step is recording all human interactions with the computer in order to make you obsolete. You're going to train the AI model that's going to replace you while all the profits go to a small number of companies.

We already gave away tons of our personal information for free to social networks, hopefully we've learned our lesson and we don't let AI companies get away with doing the same thing.
„Early days“ is until 1990 in that case, which is surprisingly late. Some nations got around the ban by employing the athletes as soldiers and allowing them to prepare almost full time though.

I don't think this is how it works.

The technique is for when you have X fps content and Y fps capable monitor, where Y > X. In games, you'll still render at your old FPS cap, but this shader is for relatively cheaply generating extra frames that will make the content look smoother / sharper.
It's Moravac's paradox: Many of the things that are easy for humans (like doing dishes) are still very hard for computers/robots. That is why so far no one has been able to build a robot that can do the things people want help with at home: dishes, laundry, taking out the trash, cleaning. And by cleaning I mean cleaning everything, incl. toilets, window shades, and the shower not just vacuuming and mopping the floor. It's hard enough to build a robot that can do one thing really, really well and 99.9% autonomously, which is why we still see innovation in things like robot vacuuming (see Matic).

Another question that comes to mind now: would this sort of technique run afoul of some wiretapping laws among various states? One is not listing to a wake word to provide a direct response but rather to... idk. just a random thought.
What is the economic output? Entertainment as far as I can tell. For a few days every four years. That's not a good return on the time invested.

If it's a hobby then there's no expected return, so it feels closer to that.

I don't begrudge them, and would be in favour of a sensible fixed amount of federal funding, but it ain't a job.
Sports is entertainment. It inspires people and brings joy. It brings people together. It sets positive examples of the rewards that can come from consistent effort and teamwork. Athletes are people making the most of the gifts they’ve been given. This is all laudable.
I went deep sea fishing in Mexico a few years back, and the number of water bottles floating out in the ocean was very alarming. That’s not fishing industry waste, it’s definitely consumer plastics, and it was the only visible waste.

The N64 was also the most powerful console in its generation, so really it’s the next most powerful before the Dreamcast.

It only looked like crap in its era because carts were expensive compared to CDs. Which is less of an issue now.

Also the hardware antialiasing and overuse of fog didn’t help its case. Thankfully the former can be fixed either via hardware mods or emulation.

I’d be still be interested to see if those demos you saw were full games or not. I’ve seen a lot of cool effects in games get abandoned because they didn’t scale well to a fully fleshed out game.

There's a telling anecdote in the book about one of the first parties where there were two coolers of Kool-Aid, one plain and one with LSD in it. The organizers weren't malicious, they put them out and made an announcement like "this one is for lions and tigers, this other one is for kittens" hint hint right? No one could hear it over the music and the whole thing became a shit show. Definitely their hearts were in the right place but they were also a bunch of amateurs

We would already be much better if folks actually bother to learn a bit about data structures, algorithms, and not shipping Electron garbage.

Al least you can race the athletes against each other to find out who is the best. Much hard to do that with artists.

We could say we'll fund the fastest people but in all liklihood those will turn out to be people who have dedicated the most time to their sport, which is a pretty good proxy for being rich, because most people can't afford that level of time investment.

More like you shouldn't use a backhoe and charge passing people for its fuel and put your backhoe in the middle of the walkway. It brings negative value to the end user. If you don't care for your end user - fine, but then you can't expect them care for you or your product either.

This is a pseudonymous system, not anonymous. The "anonymity" is entirely dependent on the salt. Unless you literally have no way of complying with a court order to hand over a user's IP, making any claims of anonymity is just flat out irresponsible. I hope no whistleblowers attempt to use this platform without a lot more consideration and countermeasures taken.

Sorry for the rant, I just really hate how much of a buzzword anonymity has become when nearly every claim of it falls on its face.

That's the problem with people who use AI. You think too much and fail to deliver. I'm not asking for benchmarks or complicated stuff, I want source code, actual proof that I can diff myself. Also that's why the SWE is doomed because of AI, but that's another story.

Um that's pretty ... naïve?

Closing even your VPN port goes a little far. Wireguard for example doesn't even reply on the port if no acceptable signature is presented. Assuming the VPN software is recent, that's as close as you can come to having everything closed.

The other day someone mentioned how AI crawling bots crawled every link, including edit history links, on their sites. It made me realize they really only can learn from what they can access digitally.

While we as humans can go out in the world, use our senses to see, hear, smell and feel, and move around and interact with the physical world.

But my next thought was - for how long will only we be able to do that? Will we soon see AI drones roaming our skies to ingest the physical world? Or will the surveillance cameras and microphones see and hear anything, and contribute to their training? I assume it has already started...
Inner monologue is next after that huh.
I had to fill in like 5 fields (who, what, bank account) in a 2-page form to start a basic business in Germany of all places - and was legally allowed to start operating the moment I submitted that. It cost nothing and I received a tax ID a short time later. Wasn't an LLC, but you don't need that for every little temporary thing you set up.

Setting up an LLC is not a big deal either, even if the process could be quicker. People who think that too complicated aren't competent to run a lasting business anyways. If that is hard, how are you not gonna fuck up accounting and your other legal obligations?
For those who didn't get the reference, it's from the movie “American Psycho”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Psycho
I think they're not smart about it. Numerous times they released products without doing due diligence about trademarks and then had to rename things, particularly with products they see as strategic such as SkyDrive that they needed to rename to OneDrive because some Germany company already made SkyDrive.

Corporations that are good at business do trademark searches to avoid that but they either don't do that or they'd rather pay lawyers $100M to fight a lawsuit instead of paying them $10k to do a trademark search.

Look also at the naming of their game consoles. Sony has the "Playstation", "Playstation 2" and so forth. Your mom can tell if a PS4 is better than a PS3.

It is "Xbox", "Xbox 360", "Xbox One", "Xbox One S", "Xbox One X", "Xbox Series S", and "Xbox Series X". I made it easy for you by putting them in order but can you expect a Nintendo enthusiast, never mind your Mom, to put them in order? (Nintendo's names are opaque two but they don't have the deliberately confusing elements such as calling the third device "one")

You'd think if they had a lottery and picked a rando, paid them $100M and treated their advice about naming like the words of a god they'd do better than they do.

===

I'm annoyed at hell that they're going to rename the mobile Remote Desktop app for Mobile the "Windows" App. It's a great app, my cheap android tablet used as a terminal makes macbooks and gaming laptops look clunky, but I don't need them moving my cheese just because they want to move my cheese.
That's why they said updated. It means to change the laws.
Also, the wealthy can always just hire a person to cook and clean for them, and that will probably always be cheaper.

>If we had a USB or negative income tax system then that benefit would be clearly spread across the whole population evenly

But we do? The EITC is basically a negative income tax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_income_tax_credit

>I think the argument is that their labour is being subsidised which amounts to a benefit for BigSam.

Ironically negative income taxes are closer to a labor "subsidy", than food stamps, because they're contingent on income (ie. labor), unlike food stamps which don't give you more money if you make more.
the thing is, this is not really an alternative model. it's rather actually bothering to do the hard math based on existing principles (GR) and existing observations, dropping the fairly convincingly invalidated assumption of large scale uniformity in the mass distribution of the universe.

if anything the standard model of cosmology should at this point be considered alternative as it introduces extra parameters that might be unnecessary.

so yeah it's one calculation. but give it time. the math is harder.
No, you're deliberately being a contrarian. Dismissing the official story, witnesses, and other experts, because you feel like you're smarter.
