Energy-aware computing isn't about environmentalism and saving energy. It's sometimes framed as such in the name of greenwashing but it really isn't, the consumption was negligible before the AI/crypto craze. It's about "longer-lasting battery" and "getting more stuff on the chip without melting it".
Audio is tiny compared to video (and even images), especially for podcasts, think ~1MB/minute. And they compress well if you want them to be smaller. High quality video (think 4K HDR) can quite comfortably be over 1MB per second.

I assume they don't want to become a file sharing website, but hosting a podcast is relatively easy on the bandwidth requirements.
I understand interconnecting Cloudflare’s network and hosting their servers by ISPs builds a beefier Internet and that’s great, but isn’t it potentially problematic for a small number of vendors to become a significant part of the network? What happens if they go out of business? Are we no worse off than before, or do we worry about equipment that’s in limbo unless purchased by another business? Or is it potentially bad but inevitable since investing in growing the Internet requires deep pockets so it will always be the bigger corporations owning large chunks of the network?

Infra like Internet cables under the ocean are to me more obvious things to be purchased by other businesses. ISP-collocated content servers that came to be due to discovered mutual benefits of content and service provider seem to me more complex in terms of managing them in the face of business changes.
I believe there was a bill that addressed this, but if failed shortly before the TikTok stuff.
If CF is calling you like this then I’m not sure how you’re interpreting this as a donation call. They’re basically saying you’re about to be fired as a customer.

Except now there isn’t a clear formalization on how much you were expecting to pay or how much runway or patience CF has left for you.
Wait until you see all the ASICs getting taped out by various companies right now.
The very best kind of sleep!
This ban does nothing about the mobile tick tok website. You don’t need to be a techie to use the browser on your cellphone. Yet it is a point of friction compared to an app with native notifications. And given the expectations of the average american tech user who has been coddled for the last decade into safe app store apps instead of the scary web, people are legitimately concerned.
And he will receive the ultimate penalty. A very stern talking to!

I did see an arxiv paper a while back that claimed to use category theory to do this, but my best bet was it was not secure.
>I searched their TOS, nowhere it was mentioned about "straining their network". Turns out that's just their scammy tactic to get you to pay.

You seem to be pretty cagey about what your usage actually was, and whether it was indeed "straining their network". Were you using more resources/bandwidth than a typical customer would? Most ToS contains clauses that allows the vendor to unilaterally cut customers off if they're an excessive burden, even if there aren't explicit quotas, or are explicitly "unlimited". ISPs don't let you saturate your 1Gbit connection 24 hours a day, even on "unlimited" plans, but I wouldn't call it a "scam" if they told you to upgrade to an enterprise plan.
> current best practice puts that number right around zero

In the case where the answer is "zero", then that means that one does not actually need a package manager at all, in which case the features of the package manager are not relevant to the choice of language. This would imply that the parent commenter has no need to reject Rust.
This is comically common, but because it has SpaceX in the name, it makes headlines.
I usually have the opposite intuition, that centralizing gives greater economies of scale. If a DC could be made more efficient by splitting it into N micro-DCs, then couldn't AWS just do that? That they do not seems telling. AFAICT centralization offers strictly more freedom in the solution space than if everyone rolls their own micro-DC.
Yes, that's my take of your position.
Tiktok is buggy, lacks undo in obvious places, and has seemingly random transient UI changes. Nobody cares.

Rednote could be a fad that fades, but technical problems won't be decisive.
Yes, of course. Humans do not directly eat plastic. At least nobody I know chews on plastic plates or cups.

But that does not mean that humans don't eat any plastic. Tiny pieces of plastic gets transferred to the food by contact with plastic containers. Some processes like microwave ovens, radically increase the amount transferred as well. Previously it was thought that these microplastics would just be eliminated from the body through typical waste functions, but evidence is increasingly mounting that The microplastics actually stay in the body long term and destroy cells they come in contact with. Given we have found nontrivial levels of microplastics in all of our vital organs (including testicals!), that's a scary proposition.

A crude analogy might be germs. Humans don't eat germs directly either, but by nature of their size and invisibility to us, we end up consuming plenty of them.

It's also TIGHTLY controlled, with people complaining on Twitter and elsewhere that their posts are under 48 hour review before posting. The rules are also quite strict around LGBT issues etc, and not in favor.

Most of all though it's just a very silly protest, given that the "tiktok ban bill" is really a "hostile foreign-power controlled platform divestment bill" so Xiaohongshu will just be next on the block in the unlikely event that it becomes popular.
As amusing as that would be, forfeiture is how you get judicial oversight of the process. If someone wants to claim their misplaced drugs then they have to show up at the trial and defend their right to posses them.

Consider a more nuanced, and more common, case: a shipment of batteries labeled as Apple™ products arrives in port. The shipping address indicates that they aren’t going to Apple, but to one Louis Rossmann. Clearly these must be counterfeits, right? Nobody else could possibly be allowed to own items with “Apple™” printed on them, after all. Customs seizes the shipment with the intent to destroy them. If Louis wants them he can go to court to prove that he has a right to own batteries with the word “Apple™” on them.

Clearly we want Louis to be able to clear up the misunderstanding and recover his property (genuine batteries salvaged from damaged phones), and clearly customs doesn’t want to risk storing them forever. Both parties want a definitive end state; they don’t want the disagreement to drag on forever. And certainly Louis wants the oversight of a judge who can ensure that procedure is followed correctly, and that it is the same procedure that was documented ahead of time. It might be an annoying procedure, but at least it is one that he can learn about in advance.

Show HN: Federation of robots collaboratively train an object manipulation model
This is a quickstart example using LeRobot and Flower that demonstrates how to train a diffusion model collaboratively across 10 individual nodes (each with its own dataset). This example uses the push-t dataset, where the task is to move a letter T object on top of another that is to remain static.

The example it's pretty easy to run, and can do so efficiently if you have access to a recent gaming GPU. Although the diffusion model only take 2GB of VRAM (of course you can decide to scale it up), the compute needed to train them isn't negligible. For context, running the example until convergence takes 40mins on a dual RTX 3090 setup. It takes about 30rounds of federated learning (FL) to do so although the example runs for 50 rounds by default.

The example runs each node/robot in simulation by default (i.e. each node is a Python process and there is some clever scheduling to run the jobs in a resource-aware manner). But it is straight forward to run it as a real deployment where each node is, for example, a different device (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson). If someone is interested in doing this, checkout the links added at the bottom of the example README.md

I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts!!

Rust is missing an abstraction over non-contiguous chunks of contiguous allocations of data that would make handling ropes seamless and more natural even for smaller sizes.

C# has the concept of “Sequences” which is basically a generalization of a deque with associated classes and apis such as ReadOnlySequence and SequenceReader to encourage reduced allocations, reuse of existing buffers/slices even for composition, etc

Knowing the rust community, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already an RFC for something like this.
Again, an offhand comment about an email from the DHS is given all the weight in the world while a direct statement from Cloudflare is nitpicked to death.
>This would help build up a more shared “worldview” like mediums such as radio and TV did; you chose the channel, but everybody on the same channel gets the same information.

That would be a nightmare, going back to the bad old days when people's worldviews were entirely decided by whatever flavour of government propaganda their preferred TV station happened to favour.
Very misleading to link to the legislative election results, when the KMT party only won 33% of the Presidential vote. And on top of that the KMT's actions when in power are to preserve the status quo (effectively independent, make money, avoid war), even if their long term vision is peaceful unification with a democratic China.
> Credit doesn't just enable exponential growth, it demands it due to its compounding nature

My cat demands my ham-and-cheese croissant, that doesn't mean he's getting it.

Credit grows the money supply exponentially. Defaults and taxes cause it to go down. There is nothing that makes credit incompatible with a steady-state economy; that was, after all, about the state of human civilisation for thousands of years.

We can simulate much more than that, even at the quantum scale. What we cannot do is calculate things analytically, so we only have approximations, but for simulation that’s more than enough.
Not gonna happen. Once the AI shit is out there, people will have consumed it by the time a real actor can create (and edit) the audiobook.
Because good candidates for normal staff positions are not independently wealthy. Good candidates for executive positions tend strongly to be, having proven their value by bringing up some other startup. Hiring away someone with a net worth of $100M with a salary that is merely 10x or whatever of your employee compensation doesn't work. You need to cut a bigger check.
>There is no such thing as proving something "safe". Go back and re-read the parent comment. The important point you are missing is that basically anything can be "linked" to cancer, and if you adopt the argument you are making, there would be nothing left.

Really? You have some studies linking wheat and whole grains to cancer? And I don't mean wheat crops sprayed with glyphosate, just straight up wheat? Raspberries? Strawberries?

The reality is, very little of the actual natural food in our food chain is directly linked to cancer. All the additives we pile on top, on the other hand, are.

I would argue if we can't show a direct benefit to the consumer, it shouldn't be in the food chain. So, what is the direct benefit to a human consuming red-5? "It looks better on store shelves" isn't a direct benefit.

A shelf stabilizer? Sure, plenty of instances that makes a lot of sense. Food coloring that happens to be cheaper than natural alternatives? Just... no.
It's pretty common for a big event's effects only to show a bit later.

I don't think it's only the gold standard though, no.
I’m not sure I follow. Every clustering algorithm that’s not an LLM prompt has a well-known, specified mathematical/computational functioning; no matter how complex, there's a perfectly concrete structure behind it, and whether you agree or not with its results doesn’t change anything about them.

The results of an LLM are an arbitrary approximation of what a human would expect to see as the results of a query. In other words, it correlates very well with human expectations and is very good at fooling you into believing it. But can it provide you with results that you disagree with?

And more importantly, can you trust these results scientifically?

Thanks for linking to old. reddit; the new page noticeably increases power consumption.

Anyway, I think 'software engineering' makes less sense than 'software design'. Everything that made has a design, whether it was created intentionally or not, but only an intentionally planned design is engineered, so all software has a design but not all software is engineered.
Haven't really been following the latest in TTS ML, but I expected this to be better or at least as good-bad as the stuff you hear on YouTube. Somehow it sounds worse. It really is jarring to listen to any of these ML voices and can't really stand it. Nope out of every video that uses them and can't tell if YouTube never recommends them to me for that reason, or just because the recommendations around what I watch are just so rarely going to be from some low reputation channel.

Take a moment here for a second though and think about it. Even if these voices got to be really good, indistinguishable almost... would I want to listen to it even then? If it was an NPC's generated voice and generated dialogue in a game to help enrich the world building, maybe in that context. On YouTube or with newscasters? Probably not. Audio books? Think I would still rather have it be a real person, because it's like they're reading a story to me and it feels better if it's coming from someone. There's also the unknown factor, where if it's ML generated it's so sterile that the unknowns are kind of gone.

Think about it like this, in the movie industry we had practical effects that were charming in a way. You could think about the physical things that had to occur to make that happen. Movie magic. Now, everything is so CG it's like the magic is gone. Even though you know people put serious hard work into it, there's a kind of inauthenticity and just lack of relevance to the real world that takes something away from it.

It's like a real magician has interesting tricks, while an artificial magician is most likely just a liar.

Still, I grant that it makes some cool things possible and there is potential if things are done right. Some positive mixture of real humans and machine generated stuff so it isn't devoid of anything connected to real life effort.

Something like the Texas sharpshooter fallacy? (The idea being that the Texas sharpshooter proves he's good by shooting at the barn a couple of times, and then paints the target only after he knows where he hit).
Last sentence is just…so inaccurate
Unfortunately, popular opinion - at least of the far left - has always been united against Israel. In fact, many of those authors called it a genocide before this war. You can find plenty of such accusations on Twitter from prior to 10/10, when Israel started responding to the attack. You have many groups blaming Israel for all sorts of absurd things - like the fires in California. I wish I was joking. If not for Israel and the Jews, we'd have world peace - at least that's what you'd think if you listened to these groups.

It is an extension of populist antisemitism. I encourage you to think about this on your own: why is Israel condemned for 45k deaths in a war they didn't start, where half of the killed are militants, where Israel is literally providing aid to their enemy, while the Houthis, responsible for 300k dead in the past decade, including many children via starvation, who have brought back slavery in Yemen, are lauded for attacking western shipping and have fanboys of one of their murderous pirates? Where is the criticism for Muslims planning terror attacks against the west, and against individual Jews globally? Why do leftists love the idea of jihad and intifada, but not a nation defending itself?

Meanwhile, most "genocide" decriers seem to have ignored the tens of thousands of rockets, missiles, and drones launched at Israeli civilians from Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen. They ignore the videos of Gazans chearing in the streets and spitting on corpses. The open calls for exterminating the Jews from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, Iran, and more. There is one side calling for the extermination of the other and taking actions to make it so - the Muslims trying to destroy Israel and calling for and taking actions to kill Jews globally.

All modern HE schemes rely on post-quantum crypto. For example, the ring-LWE problem used by BFV is the same as Kyber (ML-KEM) but with different parameters.

The twist in FHE is that the server also has an encryption of the user's secret key, which adds an assumption called "circular security", and that's needed to do some homomorphic operations like key switching.

Already true in Brazil where I live.

It's just the financial arm of global warrantless mass surveillance. I highly recommend not allowing them to do this to you.

Brazilian central bank developed a digital centralized money transfer system called pix. You already know where this is going, right? At first it was great: instant, zero fees, no taxes. Right now the entire nation is angry about the fact our IRS equivalent will start using the pix transaction data to cross reference and audit citizens. If you move more than ~800 USD your financial data gets sent to the government automatically.

I like to believe that Brazil is some kind of test bed for dystopian nonsense like this.

Historically I would agree, but we are in a new world. RFK Jr is the face of increased FDA regulation and banning of potentially toxic materials, and he is coming under the Trump administration. For the vast majority of his life, he was a Democrat Fighting frequently Republican administrations purposes of environment and health, but he is now very much rejected by The Democratic party. The Republican party seems to be welcoming him fairly warmly, although it will be interesting to see how long that persists as soon as he has some disagreement with Trump or starts making a real impact.

Personally I really hope many Democrats can put The health of our people ahead of other things and work together to make meaningful changes, because something really needs to be done. Chronic health issues have exploded and it may already be too late for multiple generations who will suffer from chronic disease their entire life as a result of this. If those of us alive and aware of these problems now don't do something to correct this course, we will be guilty of criminal negligence to our descendants in my opinion.

The solution here is for Spacex to tighten up their planned reentry corridors. At this point they should have more than enough experience in their ops to narrow down the likely debris field to a narrow strip that can be easily flown around instead of the huge swath of Indian Ocean they'd been allowing for.

SCOTUS is out of touch with reality. And I'm not reacting to Trump-era decisions - even under Obama, the justices were watering down the Bill of Rights in cases like Salinas v. Texas (2013).

Previously, if you refused to talk to the police, that was considered invoking your fifth amendment right against self incrimination, hence the standard advice from attorneys to keep your mouth shut until they were present. Now, you must explicitly invoke it every time the police question you or your silence can be used against you, even if that silence was in response to informal questioning on the street with no intention of arrest.

It all makes sense when you consider how privileged the modern Court is: few of the justices in 2013 or today have actually worked as criminal defense attorneys, and only one has ever worked as a public defender (Ketanji Jackson, for two years; I will give Ginsburg credit for her work at the ACLU, but that is still a notable step above being a public defender). We haven't even had a justice whose read the law (became a lawyer without getting a law degree from a law school) since the death of Robert Jackson in 1954. (Robert Jackson is also the man behind the famous quote "any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect, in no uncertain terms, to make no statement to the police under any circumstances.")

Now, almost all have come from privileged backgrounds, went to Ivy League institutions, live in gated communities, are completely detached from the reality of what the average American knows about the law, and certainly aren't going to be taken advantage of by the cops. It's no surprise we've seen such an assault on our constitutional rights: they don't understand what life is like outside the ivory tower.
