> The same way any standard network switch is (they internally keep a mapping of IP to MAC address of connected devices based of ARP packets, which incidentally blocks certain types of address spoofing, but nobody calls a network switch a firewall).

I thought standard network switches kept a mapping of MAC address to physical network ports, and didn't concern themselves with the IP layer at all (other than things like IGMP/MLD snooping)? Mapping from IP to MAC addresses is a function of hosts/gateways, not switches.
This is revisionism. It failed weeks in and was constantly failing the rest of the time it was running.
Apple was always going to fail this, and even more so going forward.

LLM are built on data, and copious amounts of it. Apple has been on a decade long marketing campaign to make data radio active. It has now permeated the culture so much so that, Apple CANNOT build a proprietary, world-class AI product without compromising on their outspoken positions.

It is a losing battle because the more apple wants to do it, the users are gonna punish them and meanwhile, other companies (ChatGPT, anthropic) are gonna extract maximum value.
Good point, We'll just have to see, I suppose. I'm really curious how far Intel will get before they fail, if they do indeed fail. Given the current demand for cutting edge chips and TSMC's risky monopoly, I know a lot of people are hoping they somehow pull through
I’ve used first@last.name for the last 10 years or so. There have been probably a half dozen web forms where a regex expected 2-3 characters and I input an old gmail account that forwards to this address. Over the phone, the first@last part is easier to communicate since customer rep generally has the name info already. The .name throws them for a moment, but I’ve had one or two even tell me “oh, that’s cool, how did you do that?” which feels nice. It wasn’t my first choice, lastname.com was taken, but I like the precision of .name, arguably the most accurate TLD for a personal email address.
Oh man. Pop under ads. Those sucked. I’d still take the old Internet with pop under ads over what we have today.

>and the likes of Burbank should shorten their runway to ensure there's sufficient buffer space at the end of it.

... you can't be serious with this? 300 more feet of unused runway is equivalent to if not better than 300 feet of buffer. You're fixated on following the "rules" without any understanding as to why they exist.
He has a valid criticism. It's not that it can't be fixed. It's that it's hard to diagnose.

The underlying problems are those of legacy software. People long gone from Linden Lab wrote this part of Second Life. The networking system predates the widespread use of middle boxes. (It also predates the invention of conflict-free replicated data types, which would have helped some higher level consistency problems.)
The internal diagnostic tools are not very helpful. The problem manifests itself as errors in the presentation of a virtual world, far from the network layer. What looked like trouble at the higher levels turned to be, at least partially, trouble at the network layer.

The developer who has to fix this wrote "This made me look into this part of the protocol design and I wish I hadn't."

More than you ever wanted to know about this: [1] That discussion involves developers of four different clients, some of which talk to two different servers.

(All this, by the way, is part of why there are very few big, seamless, high-detail metaverses. Despite all the money spent during the brief metaverse boom, nobody actually shipped a good one. There are some hard technical problems seen nowhere else. Somehow I seem to end up in areas like that.)

> how do you guys keep up to date with tech?

I don't. There really isn't much that's new that shows up. Spend your time exploring stuff people have already done, then learn whatever version of it this employer is using as needed at work. For example, at one job I needed to learn Ruby for a project. But here's an object-based, single dispatch, dynamically typed, interpreted language with some warts. You figure out what they call the inevitable things that are there in such a language and what the warts are, read some code to get a sense for the idiom, and then get on with life. If it's your first such language it feels challenging. If it's your third or fourth, it's just filling in the blanks. SQL Server has lots of warts and differences from PostgreSQL, but the stuff you expect is all there under some name. Any distributed database has to solve the same problems as any other one.

So don't worry about the new things. Worry about the old things with staying power, and the underlying designs and principles and patterns of thought that get reused again and again.

Democratizing High-End GPU Access with Options, Forwards and Futures
hey HN we're working on a project to make high-end GPUs like H100s and B200s more accessible to everyone in the AI/ML space. right now, if you want to spin up a cluster of these GPUs on-demand, you’re typically stuck with either insane hourly prices or long-term contracts.

that’s brutal for startups, indie researchers, labs, students.

basically anyone who can’t drop a ton of cash upfront.

what we’re building

we’ve created a marketplace where you can buy and sell GPU capacity in a more flexible, market-driven way—think options, forwards, and even futures on GPU compute. if you’ve ever wanted to lock in GPU time next month at a certain price, or speculate on the future price of compute, you can do that here.

our focus is on unlocking GPU resources for AI folks.

why this matters

lower costs: by using a transparent order book for GPU capacity, the hope is to drive down prices to more realistic, demand-based levels.

flexible schedules: instead of getting tied into a yearlong deal, you can grab GPU hours for exactly the window you need using 24h contracts

hedging risk: if you’re worried about GPU prices spiking (hello training runs at peak times), you can lock in usage now. If you’ve got spare capacity, you can sell it for a premium when demand is high.

we’re still in closed beta but hoping to open up soon. we’d love your thoughts on the concept, especially from folks who’ve struggled with GPU availability or run big AI/ML workloads. also interested in feedback on the financial instruments side—trading “compute futures” is kind of new territory.

thanks for checking this out, and let us know if you’ve got any questions/ideas/thoughts/access to beta

Im not biting down on straws, when putting it into your mouth you aren't holding a straw with multiple fingers like a utensil and it can tap into teeth with the entire weight of the glass and drink behind it because it is not really secured well and it moves. A plastic or paper or silicon or even a bamboo straw its not such a problem because teeth are harder and dig into or bend the material. Glass and steel don't do that and are the equivalent of tapping a tooth with a tiny hammer.

Glass and steel straws sound nice on paper, but using them is a whole different ball game.

Yeah, unfortunately not everything is fully open source, but a lot of it is (sometimes with less-standard repos or just a source download), and all of it is at least community-created/maintained. If you're set on only using open source tools, the DRMs that you're most likely to run into are happily the ones that also have open source tooling. Hopefully more of the other protections will be broken by open-source tools in the future (some of which already are, but the tooling is inferior to the community tools at the moment), or developers open source their existing tools. In the meantime, I recommend blocking network access and running games sandboxed anyway; I trust closed-source proprietary games far less than the closed-source tools.

The cs.rin community seems to be slowly moving towards game preservation as an inevitable conclusion when collaborating on and developing these tools, because if we're being honest it takes zero effort to just grab the 0day scene release of a game if all you want to do is get something for free. The point of making universal tools that work for everything is to fully preserve every game regardless of DRM. It's interesting how thin the line is between game preservation and piracy, as there are several tools nearly the same as those used in the guide that are hosted and promoted by legitimate sites like PCGamingWiki.

Although I've watched the tide shift a bit since the Steam Deck has released, the cs.rin community still has a noticeable blindspot on Linux and open source, with several extremely intelligent developers unwilling to even give Linux a shot, sticking to Windows and keeping their tools closed-source because that's just how things have always been done.

And yes, you can definitely airgap pretty much any Steam game without any issues using this guide unless it uses Denuvo, and I'd recommend doing so a few times just to see how easy it is. It's fun tech to play with, and as a Linux fanboy it warms my heart to exert as much power as possible over the software on my computer.

That 30-300 dollars is just the range of virtual machines you are connecting to-- I can't imagine it is very surprising that a personal VM starts at around 30 dollars per month and GPU-enabled machines would be substantially more expensive.

I genuinely don't understand "symbolic cost cutting" where they just artificially make it shittier to work there. It just makes people quit— and if you're thinking, "well that's why" they're desperately trying to get people to stay and will do anything as long as it's nothing.

> new major airports for example Qatar Doha, US Denver and SA Upington has runaway length close to 5 km.

These are by no means average "new major airports".

Denver airport (from 1989) is the west's largest airport (by land area), and at 5000 ft+ elevation (necessitating longer runways).

Upington in the far North-West of South Africa was built in 1968 to accommodate a full Boeing 747 flying to Europe non-stop during the apartheid regime when sanctions meant that overflight or stops in the rest of Africa were not feasible. It has one of the longest runways in the world due to the use case and hot & high environment at 2800 ft (and was intended as an emergency runway for Space Shuttles, if memory serves correctly). It is hardly used anymore with less than 20 aircraft movements a day.

There is no recent trend for longer runways. The issue is extremely well known and well understood, by and large.

agree entirely that both techniques are useful and should be learned by programmers

one thing I think the "just do print debugging" folks miss is what a good teaching tool a visual debugger is: you can learn about what a call stack really is, step through conditionals, iterations, closures, etc and get a feel for how they really work

at some level being a good programmer means you can emulate the code in your head, and a good visual developer can really help new programmers develop that skill, especially if they aren't naturals

i emphasize the debugger in all the classes i teach for this reason

> the proliferation of handguns creates charged situations that don't need to exist.

This is an excellent point. If there isn't the political will to end sovereign/qualified immunity, then we should reduce the immediate damage that it does by ending this proliferation of guns to municipal police. When the rare situation does end up escalating into armed resistance, the local police can call in a special state police unit. That state police unit will have better training on respect for firearms, containment, and deescalation. And a second chain of command will serve as an additional check on the situation.

LLMs are awesome but I haven't felt significant improvement since the original GP4 (only in speed).

The reasoning models (o1 pro) don't have good reasoning capability when I'm asking things from them, so I don't expect o3 to be significantly better in practice even if they look good on the benchmarks.

Still, I think ARC-AGI benchmark is awesome, and the fact that they are targeting resoning is a good direction (I just think they need to research more techniques / theories).

Denver needs a longer runway because of its altitude. Doha because of the temperatures. It makes no sense to compare their length with locations at more favorable locations.
And for the details of the Muan Murder Wall itself.

Here's Google Maps view of the area south of Muan airport:

<https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9731352,126.3829389,1299m/da...>

From a road directly outside the airport, looking toward the ILS structure, we see that had the wall itself not been there the plane would have struck a cinderblock wall as it continued on. This would have damaged the aircraft, but less so than a solid concrete wall:

<https://maps.app.goo.gl/mMGqBC9PX6sEF85B9>

Switching directions we can look to the south along the path the aircraft would likely have followed. The terrain is flat and clear, save for further navigation light structures which would likely have given way readily to the aircraft:

<https://maps.app.goo.gl/Retvh9MH48ta5xPS8>

Note a hill in the distance. This could have helped slow the aircraft further, gently:

<https://maps.app.goo.gl/m1D3WrMG5QYz6cvE8> (above image zoomed in).

Vegetation is low trees and shrubs, which again could have provided a fairly gentle stopping force against the airframe:

<https://maps.app.goo.gl/aCBtY9at1Q1oCZXz6>

Approximately 300m or so from the end of the runway are a few rather unwisely-located pensions and hotels. Those would likely contribute to ground casualties if impacted.

Another few metres past those, mudlands and bay waters, which would be more emenable to a survivable overrun.
