my first job when I left school 50 years ago was as an apprentice baker

I still make sourdough today

The protein content on the label of a bag of flour indicates the gluten availability, hence I use a 12-14% protein flour to make sourdough.

Simply put by the head baker who trained me, the gluten is the glue that binds the dough

I only buy flour from Shipton mill
.
Gluten is a protein

Gluten is not a lectin. Gluten is a form of protein that is typically found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye.

Lectin is a type of protein found in a wide variety of food items, including some grains and legumes.

Gluten free baked foods are difficult to make even for me

a replacement protein for bread is Whey protein powder isolate that body builders use. this is the trick to get beautiful looking sourdough, basically replacing one protein with another protein

I make gluten free breads, cookies and pancakes with these flours

coconut flour, buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, quinoa flour, brown rice flour,white rice flour, oat flour, tapioca starch, millet flour and sorghum flour.

>there are routes that try to send traffic to those IPs through WireGuard, such as a VPN 'route all traffic through my WireGuard link' default route

if you installed WireGuard on your default internet gateway and set AllowedIPs as 0.0.0.0/0 instead of the protected subnet.

I installed wireguard on a system that is not the default gateway. And yeah. It has AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0 , because it’s assumed that anything I route through it is meant to be routed over the vpn

Then on the gateway all traffic for x.x.x.x/16 is just a static route to that secondary system.

eg my normal NAT gateway is a cable modem at 10.0.0.1 , wireguard is 10.0.0.8 . Then I just have a specific route for 172.16.0.0/16 via 10.0.0.8 set on the cable modem UI (the cable modem UI does something called Static routes - equivalent to “routes in DHCP scopes”) and I don’t have this problem.

It’s not shoving all my internet traffic through the tunnel. Although that may be desired behavior for some people: ie you have a $5 unmetered VPS and want to hide your home IP at all times (maybe you like privacy or torrenting things.) Then go ahead and put wireguard on your gateway and set AllowedIps as 0.0.0.0/0

The main reason i don’t want this is because I have a gig connection and can “””only””” do about 300Mbps encrypted through the tunnel.

There’s some sites I think are clowns with privacy , or in one case are treating my home connection as spam or suspicious though. So I have their entire class A/B/C networks static routed through wireguard as well. (Off the top of my head, Microsoft/Azure, Bluesky (who won’t let me tap firehose from my home IP), Reddit, and all Cloudflare networks also have static routes via 10.0.0.8.)

Problem is Outlook now obfuscates the shit out of links, something something safesearch or along those lines. When I hover over a link, I now have no idea where it wants to take me unless I copy and paste it and look through the 500 character link to find where it actually wants to take me.
Or you could regulate the problem at it's source by passing laws to require the release of source code and flashing instructions for any product the manufacturer is dropping support for, required by escrow to the relevant governing authority of such tools for a product release when revenue exceeds a couple million dollars.
> elite military forces make peace with death as part of their training

That seems like a narrative someone might tell, but I don't know it's true at all, or if it's part of their training. Lots of PSTD out there, even among elite soldiers. Look at the person who blew up the vehicle in Las Vegas.

I've read interviews with them saying that killing is unnatural and you never get used to it.
This is a good comment, but only in the sense it documents a model file doesn't run the model by itself.

An analogous situation is seeing a blog that purports to "show you code", and the code returns an object, and commenting "This is cool, but doesn't show you how to turn a function return value into a human readable format" More noise, than signal.

The techniques in the article are trivially understood to also apply to discovering the input tokenization format, and Netron shows you the types of inputs and outputs.

Thanks for the article OP, really fascinating.
I really like Axum. Like... a lot.

However, it feels petty weird sometimes as the extractor thing results in somewhat unusual-looking function signatures. Not a real problem and something I'm sure I would appreciate more if I understood exactly how it worked...

But it makes for really ergonomic definitions of route handlers. Even if it presently feels a little bit like weird or gross dependency injection.
frida is an amazing tool - it has empowered me to do things that would have otherwise took weeks or even months. This video is a little old, but the creator is also cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLpW1tZCblo

It's supposed to be "free-IDA" and the work put in by the developers and maintainers is truly phenomenal.

EDIT: This isn't really an attack imo. If you are going to take "secrets" and shove it into a mobile app, they can't really be considered secret. I suppose it's a tradeoff - if you want to do this kind of thing client-side - the secret sauce isn't so secret.

That race condition has nothing to do with long polling, it's just poor design. The sender should stick the message in a queue and the client reads from that queue. Perhaps with the client specifying the last id it saw.
Intel thought the tech wasn't mature enough and decided to wait longer. They and the US were originally part of inventing it in the 90s (EUV LLC public private partnership), but sold it off with terms that allowed us to have export controls over ASML's part of it.

AWS and Azure in China are the literal opposite of white labeling. It's still the global product, branded under the global name, (mostly) operated by the global organizations.

The affiliation with Chinese companies is borderline fine print, white labeling would be if you had "tencent cloud" which happened to behave exactly like Azure.
I don't know exactly why, but this makes me happy.
A better question is, “why do you think your local network is safe?”.

Have you taken steps to validate the integrity of every single device connected to the network?

If a single device is compromised, how will detect its been compromised?

If a device is compromised, what prevents it from being used to launch an attack on other devices in your network, especially if your security model assumes that all devices on your local network are “safe”?

For a practical example of this happening, in a very impressive manner: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/11/spies-hack-wi-fi-ne...

For a more boring everyday equivalent, just search around for one of the many botnets that are assembled from compromised SoHo routers, or IoT devices, around the world.

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/01/chinese-malware-rem...

Assuming a local network is safe and secure is foolish. There’s nothing inherently secure about a local network, the only reason it offers any level of security is due to a local network being many-many orders of magnitude smaller than the entire internet. So the probability of a hostile device (whether intentional installed as hostile, or became hostile after a remote attack) being connected is smaller. But at the end of the day, is security via “being luckier than the next dude”.
I built this. The card would halt the purchase if you were over budget. You could use a different pin if you wanted to override it. It turns out that this counted as “financial advice” in the legal sense. I ran away, as did any investors. It was cool though. I live in the EU now, so maybe the laws are different.

Thank you, I need to invest more time. Still, not persuaded (the dot does a lot) but the source you mentioned seems reasonable. Maybe I need to be more open minded.
Thank you very much for your reply.

You're right, I should just start anyway. Waiting is stupid, I could've done a lot more instead of questionning myself, and eventually it will not matter much as you said.

But also, I'm kind of scared to shoot myself in the foot later in the run, if it happens to work, but if it works, I'll change it anyway!

Hey there, M33, got diagnosed adult with late 31, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I have immediately had access to both medication as well as ADHD focussed psychotherapy.

ADHD is the best treatable neurological condition of all with medication and if you can have access to where you live, it's the first route I'd try to access.

Once you have access to meds, nobody can require you to take them as prescribed to keep access, but in my experience, having access is invaluable.

I do not take meds extremely regularly, albeit my daily life as a software developer is much less rigid than it was during my school years.

I won't be needing meds on days where I know for example I have few or no meetings and can uninterruptedly work on a task I enjoy.

And I don't stress on days which I know are fuller or which require more work which I'd typically find rather boring.

That brings me to the second most important point: Finishing school, getting a degree etc. are for me personally very important still.

What I really wish I'd understood earlier is that I'd have rid myself on societal definitions of "success" and just focussed on my strengths.

For me and others I've met with ADHD, reinforcing strengths through receiving motivating rewards is THE system that works.

If it is enjoyable, ADHDers excel at given tasks far beyond what I've seen other people do. We're maximizers for that positive neurotransmitter reward.

Trying to make something unfun fun with (the threat of) discipline just leads to minimizing effort for task achieval.

In fairness, a better Google search is worth millions of dollars.

And I agree that the primary virtue of coding with current AI is that it just cuts time that is spent looking through multiple pages of junky search results. It's not necessarily better or more accurate, but it is far faster.

I'd even say that AI coding would be far less appealing if Google hadn't let its search results go to crap over the last ten years.

Résumé/CV: https://ncherel.github.io/resume.pdf

Email: nicolas.cherel@outlook.com

I am a recent PhD graduate in machine learning for image and video processing (diffusion models, GANs). I am a research engineer who writes high-quality code, implements state-of-the-art methods, and pushes the boundaries of existing knowledge when necessary. I have worked in large companies, start-ups, and research institutes.
So, why keep curly braces in Go? A thing of the past (counter example).
This paper reflects a lot of my experiences, but I think the "Why are false norms worse online than offline?" didn't make a good case.

Platforms like Mastodon, which do not have algorithms, are just as or are even more distorted than algorithmic platforms like X. How can this paper blame it on algorithms, then, if a platform without one ends up the same way? (Possible counterpoint: Mastodon is more extreme because it could represent a platform that people banned from other platforms move to, though the differences between mainstream Mastodon opinions and mainstream offline opinions are so large that I don't think this is the real reason either.)

The paper says "Platforms then sell ad space to companies based on indices of attention. As such, there is a strong incentive for users to create content that maximizes engagement–rather than content that reflects reality." This does not follow. Users don't usually make money from ads. I do think users do want to create content that maximizes engagement, but this is simply for ego and impact, not due to monetary incentives.

The paper later says that "This is compounded due to the fact that there is often little motivation for someone to post a nuanced or moderate opinion on social media." I think this is the real reason, but either way, I think the paper is not convincing at establishing any kind of causality for "online social media" being worse than "offline social media".

Figure 3 is also confusing. What does "moral" and "immoral" mean?

You're trying to piece this together axiomatically, but you can just read the history of the Cisco PIX firewall to see that the story is not as simple as you want it to be. One of the first and clearly the most popular NAT middlebox products of the 1990s was a firewall, and Cisco made a whole big deal about how powerful NAT was as a security feature.

>China never has and never will offer a level playing field for non-Chinese companies.

Foreign companies in China have to play by Chinese rules, which are more restrictive than the US but so do Chinese companies. When it comes to doing business abroad China imposes very few rules or conditions. Meanwhile the US has been waging a straight up trade war on China with the not just implicit but stated goal of strangling China's technological progress. If anyone should level the playing field it's the US.

This is how this is perceived in the world outside the Anglosphere, it's astonishing how out of touch the American centric commentary on this is. China's open to do business with the world, the US and Western countries are politicizing trade.
I wish they extracted the magic functions into a separate library. There is no reason for dependency injection to be tied to HTTP servers.
Just so. That’s kind of my point. In order for them to be the revolution the tech industry wants us to believe they are, they need to be able to handle necessary but laborious tasks like tests for us. I don’t think it’s possible with the current approaches however
Not because they isolated the applications though! Because they were shit, and that's not a requirement.

There are a family of techniques, often called something like “distillation”. There are also various synthetic training data strategies, it’s a very active area of research.

As for the copyright treatment? As far as I know it’s a bit up in the air at the moment. I suspect that the major frontier vendors would mostly contend that training data is fair use but weights are copyrighted. But that’s because they’re bad people.
I guess we've dropped the whole "Global fair trade leads to a more free, peaceful and democratic world" argument that used to be so popular?

Sadly, yes. It took Russia invading Ukraine and threatening the E.U. for it to sink in. Now it's pretty much accepted that the experiment failed.

Reading your entire comment, but especially this sentence makes my blood boil.

None of this is backed up by science and you provide no sources.

This is the equivalent to flat earthers explaining how the universe works or anti-vaxxers how thoughts cure disease.

The OPPOSITE is true: Medication, especially given during age when neuroplasticity is still high can have the best long term effects on neurological development and avoid many adverse life effects normally associated with untreated ADHD such as substance abuse and risky behavior.

I've enjoyed what I've done with Axum thus far. I ultimately opted to use Leptos on top of it, so I don't really use it directly at this point. But it's neat.

For a long time, I used PHP and JS/TS for web projects. Now I'm using Rust with Axum/Tokio/Tower/Hyper (web server), Leptos (SSR using "Islands" flag, which also allows WASM generation for front end; JSX-like syntax), and Diesel (ORM and query builder that expects you define your schema using raw SQL). (I also leapt from DB2, MySQL and MariaDB to PostgreSQL)

It's heaven.
It's more a physical limitation. Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO) are closer to the atmosphere and have some friction with it, slowing it down and then gravity does its job.

To stay longer you would need less heavier satellites, with more fuel to correct their trajectory. Or fly higher and have more latency.

5 years is just a good compromise.
Thanks for the reference, I’ll have a look.

I 100% about the benefits of (sometime) punishments, but also perhaps a bit less liberty to make space for other values might have benefits. I’m not sure where to place the slider on that scale, as too much honor and dignity can be quite restrictive.
