That's basically the niche that companies like Analogue are exploiting. I'm sure it'll forever be a niche market, but it's nice that someone caters to it. :)

Closing the Software Understanding Gap
I would read the <500ms screen loads as follows:

When the user clicks a button, we start a server round-trip and fetch the data and do client-side parsing, layout, formatting and rendering and then less than 500ms later, the user can see the result on his/her screen.

With a worst-case ping of 200ms for a round-trip, that leaves about 200ms for DB queries and then 100ms for the GUI rendering, which is roughly what you'd expect.
>When you have to "learn about my company" in order to give me pricing info, I know you're just making the price up based on what you think I can pay.

That is how 99% of sellers do business. The upper end of the price range is what the buyer can pay, the lower end is what their competitors are asking for. Some sellers are lucky to have few competitors, so they can waste more of the buyers' time trying to narrow down exactly how much they can or are willing to pay.

It is the same argument because whatever terrorism the victims of occupation engage in, or whatever terror groups exist among a much larger population of the occupied, is not an excuse to break international law.

Russia also made a number of excuses to annex the territories, the USA also fabricated a web of lies to justify their illegal invasion into Iraq. Criminals often lie or justify their crimes in any number of ways. None of which makes their crimes right. There are no exceptions to international law for fighting terrorism.
Most rural houses in Australia are built this way. They still burn down.

I don't think anyone really understands how intense wildfires can get when fanned by wind. It will destroy almost anything.

See: Black Saturday bushfires, Australia.

> "it really made no difference whether the houses were brick or timber. In fact, with the speed of the fire front some timber houses fared better than brick as it moved too fast for the houses to catch, but the bricks exploded from the sudden change in temperature."

I've been building a site that automatically shows RSS feeds for the front page of Hacker News.

https://rss.surf

Very interested in hearing feedback!

If you click on the user icon and then login, I'll add you to the list and send you a once a day email with all the RSS feeds it found (see the sample by clicking the link inside the login dialog).

I have been collecting RSS feeds for the last few weeks using it (using self-hosted FreshRSS). Future versions I plan to offer a way to tell it to use your own feed reader, but you are welcome to create an account on my FreshRSS instance and save them there. For example, when I use my mobile phone, I wish it would send it to the Android RSS app Readrops using an Android intent. FreshRSS has a Google RSS Reader (RIP) compatible feed (?) so it works with any phone AFAIK.

I've definitely found it interesting to start my reading using RSS instead of randomly browsing. I am fascinated by who publishes RSS these days. Substack is pretty great that they offer RSS for every site.

I do see that I need an extra "introspection" to curate other articles in the feed. Often I'll subscribe and not have interest in many of the other articles, but if I subscribe it usually means there is at least one other good one. I'm sad the Hindenburg Research RSS feed is ending.

RSS is indeed a fun way to get closer to smart people and see fewer "advertising" posts.
Why would it need virtualization at all? The point of cross-compiling is that you build binaries for a different arch/platform, ex. running gcc as an x86_64 binary on an x86_64 host turning C into aarch64 binaries.
This seems to be part of a debate I'm unfamiliar with.

I am however familiar with this style of argument. The page reads like a lot of motivated reasoning, where they have a conclusion set and they're selecting data, massaging statistics, etc. to fit into their narrative.

They might be right in the points they're making, I have no idea, but the style of the article definitely makes me skeptical.
Caddy/CertMagic/ACMEz already support this in the latest commits. Should be ready in time for the production rollout!
That's the only part I don't like about the Switch OS, and, yes, it's very bad. And it always baffles me why they wouldn't improve the app that generates revenue of all things.
Over here education came first economics later, that will color my conclusions. I am pretty sure giving black people as little education as possible was a political goal in the US.

True, but mostly what I want is to see what other _articles_ are written in response, less about comments.
> they have good internal processes established

There are a good number of people that would LOL at this statement, myself included.

Maybe they have such processes now, because at one point . . . Well “mistakes were made”.
At least in this video, all the interviews and documents that they base their claims/opinions on are listed in the description, so you can easily also peruse them if you doubt the interpretation.
Amtrak is run by the dumbest people in the country. Another gem:

> Today, Amtrak schedules the Acela, which travels express between Washington and Boston, to overtake the slower, local Northeast Regional at Penn Station. The organization claims that this requires scheduled dwells of 30 minutes for Northeast Regional trains

But why would anyone competent want to work for an organization like this?

The difference is that no one clan in India comprises any majority. Again, imagine a country where the french lived next to the english and the italian (like literal next door neighbors), but kept their own languages, customs, etc and only intermarried people like them. That is India. There is ample evidence for this. The differences between the cultures can be extreme.

It is relatively recently that any person in India would even claim to be 'Indian'. Most identify with the state / jati they belong to. Yes, they're 'Indian' in the same way that an Indian is 'Asian' or an Englishman is 'Eurasian', but it's not a coherent identity.

The indian gov't is certainly trying to make that a reality (this is the source of their 'Hindu nationalism' -- which is really a particular kind of North Indian hegemony), but it's been a long time coming, and there are a lot of issues with it.
What you're referring to @j2kun is named a *social reader*. See: https://indieweb.org/social_reader I'm sure there other examples of software/clients besides those portrayed on indieweb.org too.
That's the thing. We don't always know. Hence the need to reduce the attack lifetime.
I've been trying to get back into RSS recently. The problem I keep having is the dramatic weight difference between a news site and a personal blog; I'm occasionally interested in what the news site posts, but its volume is so overbearing that it's all I see in my feed. I just walk away with FOMO every time.

I'm currently thinking about trying Feedly AI as an algorithm that could surface good content for me.
I was doing mobile development on a home healthcare product during this period. The product was built around Nokia’s line of phones with NFC built in, so we had good ties with them and would always get prototypes of their next generation of NFC-capable device ahead of time to get the software ready ahead of launch.

Shortly after the launch of the iPhone, Nokia canned the prototype S60 model we were working on without announcing any alternative. I always imagined they scrapped the whole pipeline of successors they had planned. The iPhone was at least 2 generations ahead of the unreleased prototype. Ended up having to port the whole thing to a different device from Samsung.
> OpenAI et al reaching a plateau.

Yes. The latest product releases from them all, have been chain of thought tweaks to existing models, rather than a new model entirely. Several models are perceivably the same or worse than previous models (sonnet 3.5 is sometimes worse than Opus 3.0 and Opus 3.5 is nowhere in sight.)

GPT4o is sometimes worse than base GPT4 when it was available.

The newest and largest models so far are either too expensive to run, and/or not much better than the previous best models, and so this is why they have not been released yet despite rumours that these newest models were being trained.

I would love announcements/data to the contrary.
Wow! Nokia understood exactly what was happening and what needed to be done but failed to execute.
If you have time, please try again, it's still not 100% but I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
Yes, if your workflow interacts with multiple external systems and you need it to fully back out and clean up after itself after a step fails, you'll need backup steps--this is basically a saga pattern.

Where DBOS helps is in ensuring the entire workflow, including all backup steps, always run. So if your service is interrupted and that causes the Stripe call to fail, upon restart your program will automatically retry the Stripe call and if that doesn't work, back out and run the step that closes out the failed purchase.
AFAIK, Caddy is the only integrated ACME client that is tuned for short-lived certificates. All its own self-signed certs are already 24-hour certificates, so 6-day certs will be no problem.
The arms race between AI bots and bot-protection is only going to get worse, leading to increasing infra costs while negatively impacting the UX and performance (captchas, rate limiting, etc.).

What's a reasonable way forward to deal with more bots than humans on the internet?

I'm so grateful he was able to make Twin Peaks: The Return before he passed. It's one of the most brilliant and moving pieces of fiction I've ever experienced. If they had started it just a few years later it may have never been finished.
Not at NYP or DC Union Station. Also not at Philadelphia 30th street station.
I love RSS. I use RSS daily. I use link-aggregation websites like HN to find interesting authors and subscribe to any RSS feeds that they have. Highlights from my reader sync automatically into my Obsidian vault. It's great.

But I know I, and everyone else posting in this thread, are in the minority. It's clear that most people prefer algorithmic drip in a walled garden. There's a reason everyone flocks to those platforms when RSS superseded them. I don't think I need to re-hash why those platforms are bad for the health of the internet and society as a whole.

So what can be done at a structural level to fight this? What can be done to incentivize people to leave these algorithmic drip feeds to reverse this trend?

You're mistaken about this. IBM's z-series had 5GHz CPUs well over a decade ago and they haven't gotten any slower.
This is how a lot of consumer businesses are pricing now.

Then they use the same consulting firm as their competitors to set prices.
We're primarily an enterprise b2b company, so definitely couldn't get away with the "no calls" culture. BUT the "why do calls happen" section is applicable to anyone really.

We need to hop on calls to close customers, but honestly we could probably cut 1/3 of those calls by following some of those suggestions.

i.e. better documentation, ready to go pricing proposals, pre-filled security questionnaires, etc.
My best guess is that you're thinking of the Spicediver edit, a fan edit which runs about three hours, and is highly regarded.
Yeah lol, who cares about this?
That's not fair. He also cares what twitter randos think of him (e.g. to the point of paying to boost his diablo account or whatever).
Dune or Twin Peaks are probably going to be more accessible than anything else.

For Eraserhead, I understand the metaphor of how parenting can be larger-than-life and terrifying and I see how Eraserhead was trying to embody that but I very much didn't appreciate the highly pessimistic ending. It's an early movie that would have benefited immensely from an alternate ending on its DVD.
thanks! FWIW I found it on-site by searching for

"Apple iPhone was launched" on https://nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/index.html

leading with some clicks to

This certainly depends on the station, King Street in Seattle has ticket checks at the door for travellers in either direction.

It feels like there's something of an attack vector here with cloud providers who lease IPs for hours at a time.

1. Lease IP

2. Obtain cert (verify can receive traffic to IP on port 80)

3. Give IP back

4. Cloud provider gives IP to another customer

5. Bgp attack IP with 6 days.

While I support the idea of IP certs I do wonder how thought through this is and what the future consequences for security are.

I agree with another commenter here who said this should be limited to IPs behind RPKI.

Possibly also needs a mechanism for IP owners to clamp the cert time to be below their IP re-lease policy. As an example a provider like AWS could require max certs of (say) 6 hours and ensure any returned IPs stay unleased for 6 hours before reissuing them)
Relatedly, asking LLMs what happens in a TV episode, or a series in general, I usually get very low quality and mostly flat out wrong answers. That baffles me, as I thought there are multiple well structured synopses for any TV series in the training data.
Weird that I’d say almost exactly the opposite. 1-1 speaking is one of the slowest forms of communication today.

Writing copy is 1-many and the many readers can read much faster than they can listen.

Making a demo video is also 1-many and can be sped up (who doesn’t listen to content at at least 1.2x these days?).
It's time to level up in this arms race. Let's stop delivering html documents, use animated rendering of information that is positioned in a scene so that the user has to move elements around for it to be recognizable, like a full site captcha. It doesn't need to be overly complex for the user that can intuitively navigate even a 3D world, but will take x1000 more processing for OpenAI. Feel free to come up with your creative designs to make automation more difficult.
Eraserhead is about the fear of being a new father.
Rice–Shapiro theorem.

The number of writers on a typical OS means that you can't depend on a pathological case.

I suppose you could reduce it to Rice's theorm and how threeTM is undecidable but remember it generalizes to even total functions.

Just goes back to the equivalence of two static programs requires running them, and there is too much entropy in file operations to practically cover much of the behavior.

When forced to, it can save you, but a block level copy on a live filesystem is opportunistic.

Crash consistency is obviously the best you can hope for here, so that and holes in classic NFS writes may be a more accessible lens on the non-happy path than my preferred computability one.

The guid being copied and no longer unique problem I mentioned below is where I have see people lose data the most.

The undecidable part is really a caution that it doesn't matter how smart the programmer is, there is simply no general algorithms that can remove the cost of losing the symantic meaning of those writers.

So it is not a good default strategy, only one to use when context forces it.

TL:DR it is Horses for courses
Thanks, but it was a different video.

I remember he had a lot of problems with the pinhole camera because the small size of the pinhole meant that rays had trouble going into the box, so to speak, and thus he needed an insane amount of rays.

I have this issue with TV and movies too. I have so many shows I want to finish but when I try I have no clue who anyone is or what’s going on. I either watch a recap or just give up instead of restarting.

Got any examples of a game doing recaps / control reminders? Curious to check them out
This guy and I are on the same page. Love his boldness at committing to the “No calls” bit, and I wish them nothing but success.

Speaking as an introverted engineer myself, the number one turn-off on any given product is a lack of transparent pricing info or locking any sort of demonstration behind a mandatory contact harvester for a call or email chain. I don’t want to commit to a bunch of social “dances” when I’m trying to solve a technical problem, nor do I want to deal with overly pushy salespeople who either don’t understand my problem or immediately want to upsell to meet their own goals or quotas.

If your tool solves my problem, I will pay you money. That’s the transaction. Everything else - the swag, the sales calls, the free lunches, the conference tickets, the sportsball box seats - is extraneous to my core goal, which is solving the problem.
No I'm not saying that.

Also: "tech stories": lol.
Today, no movies…
Palestinian Arabs within pre-1967 Israel are treated relatively well because Israel already dispelled enough of them in the Naqba to ensure that they will be demographically dominated by Jewish Israelis for the foreseeable future. The point is to ensure Jewish supremacy, which in a democracy requires Jewish plurality. The persecution of Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza is a deliberate process aimed at slowly enlarging the territory Israel can claim without losing a Jewish plurality.

This also explains why Israel has pursued genocide in Gaza. The Israeli project, in so far as it is a project to invert the population inequality between Jews and non-Jews in Palestine, is almost genocidal by definition. Once you maximize Jewish birth rates and incentivize Jewish immigration with birthright and similar policies, all that remains is to suppress Palestinian Arab birth rates and incentivize Palestinian Arab emmigration and yes, kill Palestinian Arabs--all that remains is genocide.
I'm not a git user, but stuff like this really drives home the idea that "git commit" is meaningless, the only thing that matters is when your commits are pushed or merged.

Lynch's ability to make the most unnerving scenes I've ever seen was incredible. And he ostensibly wasn't even making horror movies. Something about this scene (and so many others): triggers something deep in my soul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZowK0NAvig

I was curious how the video creators were able to generate so many videos in such a short timeframe. It looks like it might be automated with this tech: https://rivervalley.io/products/research-integrity
The most salient thing in the document is that it put export controls on releasing the weights of models trained with 10^26 operations. While there may be some errors in my math, I think that corresponds to training a model with over 70,000 H100s for a month.

I personally think the regulation is misguided, as it assumes we won't identify better algorithms/architectures. There is no reason to assume that the level of compute leads to these problems.

Moreover, given the emphasis on test-time compute nowadays and that it seems like a lot of companies have hit a wall with performance gains with trying to scale LLMs at train-time, I especially think this regulation isn't especially meaningful.
You said:

> The right answer they were looking for was 3, not 3.0. Adding that .0 implies a precision which is not correct.

In contemporary mathematics, 3 is 3.0 . Both 3 and 3.0 belong to the set of integers. There is no additional precision being demonstrated by adding a 0 at the end of the 3. This is simple notation, not refering to a new concept.
Honestly after having had children I was surprised that nature vs nurture was even a debate. Genetics is very obviously the biggest factor in their behaviour.
I literarily wrote this e-mail yesterday, when an enterprise customer asked to discuss, I hate calls:

"...
I usually prefer discussing async, via email, so I can provide more comprehensive answers and solutions, especially that we are talking about specific technical requirements.

Via email, we also have everything written down, if we ever need to recall/search for some specific detail. Does this work for you, or do you have other suggestion?"
That was my question as well. This seems blatantly illegal.

I didn't read a word about flash in the comment you replied to. They commented on the mention of wallpapers in your comment about flash, but they didn't mention flash at all. What they said is that you believed things that Apple said, that weren't true, about why they wouldn't allow wallpapers. They characterized this as a nitpick.

What modern OS doesn't have the equivalent of mmap? Just som #ifdefs. I didn't know I'd ever hear "use malloc, because it's portable".

Sounds like a benefit for the site owner. lol. It accomplished what they wanted.
Xen (and XenServer and XCP and the Citrix banded stuff) have been able to live migrate VMs for a really long time. Definitely not something special to VMWare.

Realistically, all the legacy workloads (those that are singletons and can't be load-balanced, need an active GUI session etc) are going to to be problems forever, even if you keep VMWare around.
Why would that matter? Replacing the cert and sighup'ing nginx or whatever isn't functionally different from doing it in-process.
Taking over the west bank is not at all an acceptable response to something happening in Egypt's domain. Keeping the west bank is also not reasonable. Not sure why you would bring that up.
