That assumes they'll do anything instead of turn a blind eye.

In my school experience they turned a blind eye unless you fought back in which case they would punish you for fighting back.
Compression libraries, OpenSSL, ICU, etc. are all common dependencies for databases.

Looking at the dependencies list (https://gist.github.com/tisonkun/06550d2dcd9cf6551887ee6305e...) I see plenty of reasonable things like:

* Base64/checksum/compression encoding libraries

* Encryption/hash libraries

* Platform-specific bindings (likely conditional dependencies)

* Bit hacking/casting/zero-copy libraries like bytemuck, zerocopy, zero-vec, etc.

* "Small"/stack allocated data structure libraries (smallvec, tinystr, etc.)

* Unicode libraries

There are certainly things that would add bloat too, but I think it's silly to pretend like everything here is something a database engine would need custom implementations of.
Sounds like tracking would help. If the re-entry is controlled, why not broadcast transponder info from the reentering parts so they appear on airplane displays? Then they can adjust course, just as they do any other aircraft in their flight path.

Zama has already hit competitors with (French) patent charges. Apple's HE implementation is in Swift and uses BFV, which is very different HE from anything Zama does and doesn't use their source.

If they were a puppet of the U.S. like you say, they wouldn't have been investing in and dependent on Russia in the first place. When Trump was President the first time and he chided them on their dependence on Russia and asked them to build a floating LNG terminal, they laughed.

The Germans are in the situation they're in because they did not take U.S. advice on the entirely predictable Russian bad behavior.

This has been my experience and it is what people are reporting from red note.

In comparison to instagram I have found it far easier to explore, for instance, black women making leftist political critiques of Harris engaged in long conversations with black women who were actively supporting Harris.

Similarly, it has been much easier to find discussions about Palestine, labor rights, indigenous US culture, and numerous other topics.

I think those conversations are probably find-able on Ig or Yt, but I have had much more difficult time with those platforms. It's been hard for me to find much engaging content that is close enough to my (admittedly anarchistic) political and cultural views that the conversation changes what I think in useful ways, so I avoid that work on things like FB. These platforms do suck for doing anything other than keeping up with pictures of my nieces.

My feeling is that in general the TT algo doesn't really care about US politics so it just shows me engaging content, whatever that might be for me.

People here can call that "addictive", but in doing so it quickly discards any agency for people who have any actual political disagreements with the radically centrist US political mainstream.

I am used to that flippant dismissal- Allen Dulles would have rather believed in mind control than believe that US military personal who encountered Koreans were swayed by genuine empathy for a legitimate political-economic position.

By contrast, my feeling is that various other governments don't really care what folks in other countries think about the world so as long as it's not objectively porn or gore they just let conversations happen.

That is, of course, quite dangerous if your power relies on maintaining narrative consistency for the population you rule- that's why China and other authoritarian folks do things like limit what can happen on social media in their countries...
This is how I learn on my own without anyone helping me. I coasted down a gentle slope, ignoring the pedals, legs out to catch myself. Eventually I realized I had learned to balance myself.
Having weak and moribund allies is not happy news for the United States.
Something forced the US off the gold standard. We can all have a sensible discussion about that without getting hung up on the wisdom of collecting pretty rocks.
This is a very first level consideration of things like this. In general it would not be particularly useful because exactly the first thing that's going to happen is that any victim of said efforts is going to go to their domestic law enforcement which would not only curtail these efforts (or even completely backfire in the case of double agent stuff), but could also blow up into a giant international controversy.

And for what? What are you going to gain from trying to blackmail an "ordinary citizen"? The risk:reward ratios are simply horribly broken in this sort of case. By contrast when your own government is doing this to you, you have nobody to turn to, and they can completely destroy your life in ways far worse than the threat of somehow revealing your taste in videos.

Many of the bullying stories on here involve either a do-nothing response by authorities or both sides being punished. I do not see how constant monitoring ensures any kind of protection or justice.
This is SUCH an interesting comment. There’s a “homeschooling” post elsewhere in HN with a comment that espoused the exact opposite view as this one: raise your kids with humility and openness to other people and families.
Why did your comment need to be so condescending?
Top of the funnel.
Thanks to the CloudAct there is no sovereignty.

Why are homegrown hallucinations worse than cloud hallucinations?
People are lazy, and the winning solution (like it or not) is apparently the one that most people default to when they are lazy.

For most people, that is arguably currently Facebook.
That's also true. Society is addicted to it. Credit doesn't just enable exponential growth, it demands it due to its compounding nature. Without it, development is too slow and economic defeat is inevitable. With it, the planet's resources are consumed unsustainably. We are damned no matter what we do.

Love the double standard here. An offhand comment about an email from the DHS is considered strong evidence that Cloudflare was "started from day one to be a government spying program" while anything Cloudflare could say to deny it is brushed off as not strong enough.

Reciprocity is not a good idea. Why would we want to copy every bad foreign law?
do you see the difference of "government schools" in contrast to curricula elaborated by democratically elected boards? especially in a country with proportional representation, which reflects into said boards?

also the controversy is built into the curricula. "these are the positions, discuss"

and yes my top comment is exactly addressing the top point. and how it may be a good idea to think about how other cultures approach education and why.
Heavy synchronous IO from incredibly frequent fsync is a weak point. You can make it better using SLOG devices. I realize what I am about to say is not what you want to hear, but any application doing excessive fsync operations is probably doing things wrong. This is a view that you will find prevalent among all filesystem developers (i.e. the ext4 and XFS guys will have this view too). That is because all filesystems run significantly faster when fsync() is used sparingly.

In the case of APT, it should install all of the files and then call sync() once. This is equivalent of calling fsync on every file like APT currently does, but aggregates it for efficiency. The reason APT does not use sync() is probably a portability thing, because the standard does not require sync() to be blocking, but on Linux it is:

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sync.2.html

From a power loss perspective, if power is lost when installing a package into the filesystem, you need to repair the package. Thus it does not really matter for power loss protection if you are using fsync() on all files or sync() once for all files, since what must happen next to fix it is the same. However, from a performance perspective, it really does matter.

That said, slow fsync performance generally is not an issue for desktop workloads because they rarely ever use fsync. APT is the main exception. You are the first to complain about APT performance in years as far as I know (there were fixes to improve APT performance 10 years ago, when its performance was truly horrendous).

You can file bug reports against ZFS here:

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs

I suggest filing a bug report against APT. There is no reason for it to be doing fsync calls on every file it installs in the filesystem. It is inefficient.
If Vine dying taught us anything its that the content from Tiktok will outlive the platform by being reposted to others. That voice will never die unfortunately.
Countries like China, where TikTok is from, already ban US social media.

The other countries you’re presumably thinking of are our allies and typically our propaganda aligns with their (governments’) interests. China’s interests do not.

Why wouldn't Alpine.js and HTMX be modern javascript? They're both written with modern javascript.

React was created in 2013, Alpine in 2020, HTMX 2020. React is the elder of the bunch. React is the bloated tool nowadays.
Those are just shitty codebases. I maintain a React app that's over 10 years old, almost milion lines of code and we have zero components with 20 props, no issues with performance or whatnot.

I am an oponent of over-abstraction but components are very light abstraction and provide just sensible encapsulation and reusability.
That limit was reduced to $500 and then back up to $2000. It's a multifaceted thing, now, that triggers a SAR.

You're welcome here, and you're welcome to express contrarian views—that's an important part of an intellectually curious community, which is our goal with HN. However, we need you to do it while sticking to the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You've unfortunately been breaking them in various places already.

I know how hard it is to be in the minority on a contentious topic without getting provoked (and then becoming provocative oneself), but that's what we need commenters with minority views to do. Otherwise we end up having to moderate the accounts, not because we want to suppress minority views but because we have to enforce HN's rules.

I've written about this extensively because it's such a consistent phenomenon. Here's one post if you (or anyone) wants a fuller explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41948722. There are plenty more at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

It's in your interest to do this, because then you maximize the persuasive power of your comments. Conversely, if you succumb to the pressure to be indignant and/or snarky and/or flamey and so on, that ends up discrediting your views, which is particularly damaging if they happen to be true: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

Just because an argument is wrong (and in this case gp is very wrong), does not mean it is in bad faith. Arguing in bad faith requires intent. I see no evidence of intent in gp's message. Ironically, if it didn't then one could say that dismissing arguments as bad faith (without evidence) of such is itself a form of bad faith, meaning your dismissal would be in bad faith. However, I see no evidence that you intended to argue in bad faith.

That is a fine take, but the assumption that all other forms of media masses of people are exposed to aren’t also propaganda is a foolish one to make. We have an entire advertising industry in this country. Something like $300 billion in ad spend a year in the US. Ad spend is literally propaganda lest we forget.
I don't think Apple is doing this. They compute the embedding on device in the clear, and then just do the nearest-neighbor part in HE (which does lots of dot products but no neural network).

There are people doing NNs in HE, but most implementations do indeed require bootstrapping, and for that reason they usually use CKKS.
How many of those people voted? The young people who don't vote don't want this and the old people who do vote do want this. The outcome is predictable.

No, it will not. It would be helped by APT switching to using a single sync/syncfs call after installing all files, which is the performant way to do what it wants on Linux:

> if we need the big bad lever, it should at least require congressional approval

What is the big bad lever?

If you're suggesting the Congress directly regulate monetary policy, one, Argentina. Two, do you remember the second-largest bank failure in the history of our republic two years ago [1]? What about the third and fourth? Would you prefer a depression every time some twat at Silicon Valley Bank forgets numbers can go down?

> a NEARLY closed timelike curve, which arrives from the past, coils around itself one or more times - like a coil, indeed - allowing causal interaction between the different spires (i.e. one can interact with its future self/selves and with its past self/selves), and finally the last spire leaves toward the future.

The classic sci-fi story describing this is Heinlein's By His Bootstraps. Note, though, that even in this version, the causal interactions are fixed: the same person experiences the events multiple times from different viewpoints, but the events have to be the same each time. They can't change. In Heinlein's story, the main character tries to do something different at one of these interactions and finds that he can't.
Caltech's Cannon-Launched Squid Drone Doubles in Size, Goes Autonomous
They have the nickname "Crimeflare" for a reason and there is a reason so many threat actors, phishers, and malware people use CF on their landing pages and c2s.

When you file an abuse ticket with CF, CF takes the route of "oh we are only routing the data and content, not hosting it" and will refuse to terminate the CF accounts of someone being malicious. Threat actors know this which is why so many use em.
Pew has it at 32–28 in support of the ban[0]. I think that's pretty low for a bipartisan effort where the opposition hasn't really had a chance to air it's case.

Side-loading APKs are still needed for new Android users, not too much difference right? Exactly like the workarounds you need to find when you want to install "Risky applications" on a Chinese Xiaomi phone.

As a Chinese hated CCP for the internet censorship and decided to be an expat, what's going on these days is changing my world view.
Also lets not forget dude! Buffalo create wallows which adds such an amazing diversity to the landscape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_wallow . Get this!

Well, we might be winning when it comes to food dyes but I don't think it's a clear victory overall.
National security risk to which nation? The kids on TikTok seem to understand pretty well why it all the sudden was wrongthink.
Personally, I think it’s both. Yes, the strategy is important but it’s nothing without the ability to execute. And we’ve all worked with the god-tier engineer who creates never-ending boondoggles because they can. And, yes, the larger the org the harder it is to get both strategy and execution aligned at once.
This is a weak argument. The US has a patchy K-12 system whose quality varies from abysmal to world-beating, depending on many factors. It has, indisputably, one of the world's best universities. Lots of people who have gone through the former but are also products of the latter. They can be very well educated, and do better than credentialed teachers (let's face it, the only difference is that; also a known fact that brighter, higher-IQ people do not gravitate toward K-12 teaching).
Why do you imply that the fun, constructive environment for homeschooling a long shot, but the weird religious or abusive environment is more of the norm?
The Warestack manifesto – Enforce DevOps best practices
Hi HN,

“It’s deployment day, and last-minute surprises disrupt your team. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.”

Today's development tools often operate in silos. Skipped reviews, deployment failures, and overlooked issues can still result in Jira tickets being marked as "Done", leading to unpredictable production errors.

We believe the solution isn’t about complex tools but rooted in standardization.

The Warestack manifesto is our vision to transform chaotic DevOps lifecycles into predictable and reliable workflows by creating an operational loop that adheres to the team's standards across toolchains, revoking operations when rules are violated.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on how does teams tackle these challenges today?
I suspect that the algorithm is taking in inputs that maybe we don’t consider. Not just swipes or likes, but maybe even how still the phone is while you watch it or if you blink less, signs you’re more focused on the video. Maybe they don’t have access to that telemetry but I think that’s kind of the vein of how they measure attention more than just touchscreen actions
Any country is free to do this.
Show HN: Turn any ComfyUI workflow into a web app or API
I’ve been playing around with ComfyUI for a while now and built my fair share of apps using it as an API, both for my own projects and others.

To simplify this process, one of my crazy friends and I just launched a cloud solution to deploy any ComfyUI workflow on scalable infrastructure. It works with any node and model.
You just have to upload your workflow and the system detects all the custom nodes and will install them automatically. It will also download all the models that it recognizes. If it can't find a model, because you are using a custom LoRA for example, it will ask for a download link and add it to the deployment.

We have 7 different GPUs available to cover all use cases:
- T4 (16GB VRAM)
- L4 (24GB VRAM)
- A10G (24GB VRAM)
- A100 (40GB VRAM)
- A100-80GB (40GB VRAM)
- L40S (48GB VRAM)
- H100 (80GB VRAM)

We’ve optimized this solution to work with the open-source app builder for Comfy workflows we released a few months ago: https://github.com/ViewComfy/ViewComfy. The idea is that you can turn a workflow into a web app running in the cloud in just a few minutes.

To make this new project as usual as possible, the deployments can also be accessed via APIs that can easily be integrated into existing apps.
You can get started right away: https://app.viewcomfy.com/ =)
