The issue is that when you have a high local usage your grid loses the ability to respond to peaks since that capacity is now always in use. Essentially it raises the baseline use which means your elasticity is pretty much gone.

A grid isn't a magic battery that is always there, it is constantly fluctuating, regardless of the intent of producers and consumers. You need to be able to have enough elasticity to deal with that fact. Changing that is hard (and expensive), but it is the only way (such as the technical reality).

The solution is not to create say, 1000 extra coal-fired generating facilities since you can't really turn them on or off at will. Same goes for gas, nuclear etc. You'd need a few of them for your baseline load (combined with other sources like solar, wind, hydro, whatever) and then make sure you have your non-renewable sources have margin and redundancy and use storage for the rest. This was always the case, and it will always be the case.

But now with information technology, the degree to which you can permanently raise demand on the grid to an extreme degree is where the problem becomes much more apparent. And because it's not manufacturing (which is an extreme consumer of energy) you don't really get the "run on lower output" option. You can't have an LLM do "just a little bit of inferencing". Just like you can't have your Netflix send only half a movie to "save power".

In the past we had the luxury of nighttime lower demand which means industry could up their usage, but datacenters don't sleep at night. And they also can't wait for batch processing during the day.

Someone with practice at reading old cursive would likely be able to read a sample such as this one at least at a pace suitable for reading aloud. An expert, of course, could do it as fast as if it were their "native" script.

Here is an example of a non-expert compared to an expert reading aloud [0].

I learned cursive in school in the early 2000s, but I could never read my grandmother's handwriting. Whenever she mailed me a card, I would have to have my mom read it to me.

The analysis in this article is incomplete, due to missing some information which are relevant to its conclusions. It is an established pattern with his blog. Curious how it keeps showing up on the front page of HN.

> As everyone with an Internet-exposed SSH daemon knows, attackers are constantly attempting password guesses against various accounts. But if you're using a strong password, the odds of an attacker guessing it are extremely low.

The odds are zero if they are trying the wrong account names!

SSH password guessers are not probing the space of possible user names, only passwords. Look at your logs, man.

For instance, they assume that the superuser account is named root. If you don't call it root, your password could be "password" or even blank and they will never get in.

What OpenSSH needs is a your server configuration where you specify a list of allowed user names.

> [not accepting password authentication] stops an attacker that can steal and then crack your encrypted passwords

What? If the attacker steals your shadow file, they must already somehow have root. At that point, they don't have to care what you think about SSH authentication. They can leave ways for themselves to have repeated access.

> In practice, (OpenSSH) password authentication is a complex piece of code that interacts with things like your system's random set of PAM modules.

Does any of that code execute for user IDs not listed in the AllowUsers variable in sshd_config?

If I have this:

AllowUsers = 3CDF4497

will sshd execute all the PAM code and whatnot for a login attempt for user root?

This mechanism also solves the problem of some new software installation adding an administrative account with a known password. And maybe don't go installing random crap on the machine that serves you SSH access.

Okay sure, there can be this vanishingly improbable flow of events. Somehow a malicious actor knows the above root username. They're a fired IT employee, and the organization forgot to change that name, only the password. The employee uses their knowledge of the secret these are ID to attack a vulnerability in in the password auth stack.
The analogy I came up with when I first learned about kubernetes in its early days was: "This is like a Bally's Total Fitness gym membership. Once signed up, you're locked in."

Companies are like bodybuilders:

- Many will try to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (Mr. Universe), but few will succeed.
- A significant number of others will focus on developing certain muscle groups more than others. The resulting appearance will look disproportionate or deformed.
- The majority will just limp along, because we're paying for the membership and can't easily get out.

The key point is that it takes incredible discipline, knowledge, and resources (including money) to achieve the "nirvana" state, and then maintain it. And as a company ages, it will require even more effort to keep up that level of fitness and performance.

Just like a bodybuilder, achieving and sustaining peak condition is extremely challenging, even for the most dedicated and well-resourced companies. Most will fall short of the ideal, resulting in an unbalanced or suboptimal outcome.

Consulting companies are the real winners here. Kubernetes is their cash cow, as they can provide the expertise to help companies (try) achieve and maintain their "bodybuilder" status.

After seeing this comic, my v2 analogy especially after seeing the motorcycle slides is this:

If I ( === company) get a Yamaha Tenere 700 I'll be just like Pol Tarres!

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDxBGc9TD4c
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PngVqi5wT8
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DgzzjiFn7g

Guessing the individual riding the motorcycle is the IT director ... to me this depiction screams "motorcycle squid".

For the record, I am not against using Kubernetes, but I highly question the decisions made to use Kubernetes. Majority of the time I get the sense someone "drank the koolaid" vs a techincal reason. The analogy is meant to highlight the significant challenges, resources and discipline required to truly master and maintain such a complex system.
The "ties" are bots boosting up Georgescu on Kensington Communications' campaign (by adding comments to the videos and reposting it). The PR's company management were dumb enough to do a teaser campaign. Russia used this opportunity to hijack it by using bots that answeed the question describe the profile of your ideal candidate, the subject of the videos paid for by the PR company. The hijackers also used a very similar hastag. Accounts used to hijack the campaign predate Tiktok's launch worldwide. Russia bough dormant accounts and weaponized them to generate over 100M posts in a single day.

The problem is regular people do not fully understand this narrative manipulation mechanism. Not even the infuencers involved in the campaign, or the company that ran it realized who they were promoting until it was too late.

The EU should use this incident to at least fine Tiktok into oblivion, but they're obviously sleeping at the wheel. The Biden Administration, as weak as it has been, has made the correct decision yet again: ban the Chinese propaganda blowhorn.

> I remember Actyx being a rust-libp2p user, but I wasn't aware that they failed. Do you have more info? How and why? It would be great if we could learn from them.

They (we?) unfortunately never found product-market-fit. Actyx targeted the SME factory space with a p2p application platform. Turns out that developers in general don’t want to deal with the additional complexities of anything lesser than strong consistency, especially if they don’t fully drank the distribute-everything kool-aid. And SMEs don’t really bother either.

Philosophically decentralization is the right thing to do, but I’m thinking more and more that federation might actually be the compromise in the long run, at least for consumer apps. The only valid use cases for p2p edge devices with loose connectivity are in military applications.
Yeah, and you can omit the ".service" suffix, and you could use ".timer" suffix, too, if you have a timer for that service.

Your use of “you said” is you saying. Already you lie to yourself.

> How much is astroturfing and illusion can be debated forever, but any positive value is greater than zero.

That's an easy way to toss aside a very damaging attack on the public and freedom, with power unlike anything humanity has seen. I'm not sure what "any positive value is greater than zero" means, other than a mathematical tautology, but I certainly don't accept that social media is a net positive.

> Journalistic integrity and trust in institutions has been sold off for shareholder value.

Your reasoning is circular. You both conclude and use as your premise that they've been sold off.

Sadly, after generations of (mostly) not being sold off, of standing up for freedom and professional journalism, in the last couple of months many of the institutions have capitulated.

Part of the cause is you (and people like you): Serious journalism was a threat to the far right, so they did what they always do: Use a campaign of constant repitition and demonization. They do it also to immigrants, trans people, liberals, Democrats, and individuals they see as threats (including any leading Democrats). Part of that campaign is getting everyone repeating it on social media.

Now we have few reliable sources of news left.

The other source of energy is kinetic energy. It converts the potential energy of gravity mgh, into electrical energy, back into kinetic energy, 1/2*mv^2.

You only put one energy in, the other source is gravity and recycled kinetic.

People not being serious about diet and exercise doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Look at reality tv where there is calorie restriction, like Alone or “Survivor” and everyone loses weight. On the former in particular people have lost like 40 pounds in as many days before and have lost so much weight so fast that medical teams have pulled them from the show.

This is like saying most people barely use 5lb dumbbells when told to work out, so working out must not work. Like, of course major lifestyle changes take willpower!
Shucks, Flym is archived. This seems to be the pattern on mobile: the good apps die young.
Oof. I hate when people torture analogies.

There are for instance much better allegories for performance programming in the notion of an apple tree than “low hanging fruit”. Picking the low hanging fruit is just as wasteful a process in both domains.

Fast food restaurants don’t prepare food when you order it. It’s already mouldering in the back. They only make it on demand if you make a special request or they already fucked up their inventory estimates. It’s a lean process not an agile one.

And if you don’t think real restaurants sprint, maybe you should watch The Bear.
Will people always think vroom vroom sounds cool? As far as I'm concerned, we can't get rid of it soon enough. When I rent an ICE car, I'm always annoyed by the engine revving sounds.
I systematically flag “diet” studies here. (And most medicine related, specially if not the study itself, but a random article with yellow title)

Some dietary studies are little better, some worse, but even the best, are very weak.

It’s known (from other studies, yes the irony) that people have no idea what they eat. Forget, don’t pay attention… so is difficult to draw conclusions. Also diet habits correlate to so many other habits, that is difficult to know what helps and what doesn’t.

Often is posted just a journalist view of it, not even the study (like this case) that is another red flag. Means that the article title is probably not so interesting.

Last but not least, being a forum of mainly CS nerds, you have to really weed through the comments. When speaking about law many start with “not a lawyer but” but seldom I see “not a doctor, but”. I’ve just seen too often people very opinionated about medicine topics of which they have no idea. Luckily is relatively easy to detect, but can be very misleading. The less the people know about something, the more sure they are they know it all. I need to state the obvious: never ever take medical advice at face value from HN.

Dear Founders
If you have to classify user input as they’re inputting it to provide a response — so it can’t be batched - 2 seconds could potentially be really slow.

Though LLMs sure have made creating training data to train old school models for those cases a lot easier.
Last week we learned a basic overview of Type Confusion vulnerabilities and exploited one against the Windows 7 Kernel. This week we will be exploiting the same vulnerability against a more modern build of Windows - Windows 11 (x64)!

Out of all the vulnerabilities you can learn from HEVD this one took me by far the longest amount of time. It’s one of those moments you recognize you’re standing on the shoulders of giants. This exploit took me about a month to fully understand and from my understanding I am not alone. Would it not had been for the work of researchers like Alexa Souza (@w4fz5uck5) and Martin Mielke (@xct_de) this would have taken me months to accomplish.

Please go and support them on Twitter and their respective blogs as well.
Anecdotally, I can say that you absolutely can get quite fat on a diet of abundant "quality", minimally-processed food. It's just a little more expensive. I don't know how the food supply arguments about obesity can land anywhere other than "we should make calories more expensive" or "we should make it illegal to make food taste good", neither of which are remotely politically viable or morally justifiable.
Having played with one for 60 seconds, I assume the author meant weight. It is definitely a bit hefty for something on which you might want to do long form reading.

It is easier if you couple this with exercise. Many people successfully lose weight with exercise and managed diet. You have to want to do it to a certain extent.

Also I kind of assumed copying the game exactly wouldn't be super fair or even legal so I planned on keeping it private.

Eh, I was talking about OCR'ing modern English cursive handwriting, not translating medieval script written in a dead language. It seems reasonable to expect specialized models to be used for this type of work.

Still, here's the first one, via Gemini 2.0 experimental:

How does the response look? Did it correctly identify the language as Old French, at least? Even if 100% made up, which I have a feeling it is, it's a more credible (not to mention creative) attempt than most non-specialists would come up with.

o1-pro, on the other hand, completely shat the bed: https://i.imgur.com/mivdjkA.png I haven't seen it fail like that in a LONG time, so good job, I guess. :) I resubmitted it by uploading the .jpg directly, and it mumbled something about a "Problem generating the response."

Co-ops, employee owned businesses, and credit unions are antithetical to American ruthless capitalist exploitation. They are economically "inefficient" since they don't maximize the exploitation of their customers.

Also, what good products do any of these groups make (besides credit unions which are superior to traditional banks)? Sure I can go to winco for cheap groceries, but REI isn't exactly the bastion of quality that its buyers pretend it is (their stuff is cheap crap).

The sad reality is that if you, the customer, want a good product, you want the company who makes it to exploit its workers. This is also the real reason why unions died in America. All the US car companies are unionized and that famously caused US company workers circa the late 70s and 80s to be literally drunk/high on the job all the time (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont_Assembly) Meanwhile most Japanese car factories aren't unionized, and you get literally the most reliable and best fit/finish in the industry from doing it.
