No. The requirement is that ByteDance must sell it's position of a company. If you bother to learn about the law in question, it quite blatantly targets the ownership of the company, not the company itself.

ByteDance instead opted to shut the company down in retaliation, because it found it was desirable to just crash the whole company than to have anyone else control it, and in the process is fooling useful idiots into believing this has nothing to do with China's interference.
> Complete overkill requiring the use of a YubiKey for key storage and external RNG source - what problems does solve? For a Yubikey to act as a poor man's HSM you have to store the PIN in plaintext on the disk

You still can't exfiltrate the key material.

> If it's to protect against physical theft of the keys, they'll just put the entire Raspberry Pi in their pocket.

Just because someone has compromised your device doesn't mean they have physical access. That's the point.

> They're generating the private key on disk then importing into the YubiKey. Which defeats having an external key storage device because you have left traces of the key on disk.

The traces don't have to be left behind. Is this excessive 'overkill', or is the 'digital duct taping the windows and doors' insufficient?

> An instance of openssl or xca covers 99.9% of "homelab" use cases

The interesting thing about this article is that it adds a few 9's that are covered, and it's both easy and cheap.
> Why do you need ACME in a homelab and can't just hand issue long lived certificates?

If there is one thing I hate it is hand issuing certificates. Even for a homelab.

SSL just plain sucks and OpenSSLs incantation and especially config files make an already bad problem even worse.
Why is illegal to put false stuff on products label, like food or medicine? Where is the free speech to lie and manipulate the user? With your point of view the EACH user should somehow find the skills to analyze and review each product each time they user or trust some other persons word.

The algorithm is not a person to have free speech, my issue is with the algorithm, I am OK with the village drunk to post his faked documents but I am not O with state actors falsifing documents then same state owned actors abusing the algorithm to spread that false stuff. So no free spech for bot farms and algorithms, they are not people (yet)
And notice how Marlboro didn’t start selling cannabis everywhere? Apple and Google(and their legal teams) have to decide if not following the law on the nonbinding word of a 77yr old man’s promise. The law itself allows companies to be held liable up to 5 years after each infraction.
> Free speech is grounded in the idea that people are capable of reasoning and forming their own opinions. If we truly trust in that, the source of the influence - foreign or domestic - shouldn’t matter.

Sure, but then why is electioneering banned by polling places? Or why is voter intimidation illegal? You have the draw the line somewhere.

> are implicitly admitting that they don't trust their population to think critically.

A democracy that is NOT a direct democracy is already admitting this. This is exactly the reason we have proxies in a representative democracy.
> people are capable of reasoning and forming their own opinions

The problem is that people aren't ideal rational agents. Our collective reasoning tends to be heavily biased by the environment, and that there are actors who abuse this (by injecting ideas that indirectly help their agendas) for their personal gains. And in China's case, they want to undermine freedoms, including freedom of speech.

We can consider ourselves as "rational, critical thinkers" all we want, but we aren't as there are myriads of ways we're gullible in one way or another. Plenty of examples in our history books.

Still, I think that free speech is still more important, as it's the only way for a society to recover. With freedom of speech, an antidote (for a lack of better term) can eventually be found and injected into the public discourse, without it the future looks bleak.

The way I see it, we need to encourage improvement of education on social sciences, human psychology, game theory and so on, encourage critical thinking but forewarn of all possible fallacies, and hope that it will be enough and that the inevitable counter-reaction won't prevail and undermine the effort.
I think it's time to partition the context into L1, L2, and L3 contexts. L1 is the current context with a quadratic memory requirement. L2 is based on fancy mechanisms such as what is used by Gemini and MiniMax-01, having a sub-quadratic to linear memory requirement. L3 is based on document and chunk embeddings having a linear to logarithmic memory requirement. LLMs don't use this approach, but I think it might make sense. As for how this partitioning would work at the neural layers, that remains to be determined.

The choice is keep it is it is, or change it. Changing it would break vast amounts of existing code. Which option do you prefer?
plenty of dangers, but considering what people actually do and care about on TikTok, I wouldn't really compare this to Facebook.

Tbf, America did spend decades tearing down education to help support that conclusion.
But what about national security?? LMAO, political populism for the manipulable idiots.
I take it you don't know any trans people, gay people, or those whose lives depend on government services.

We do. We're an agency so there's probably 60 odd repos on GitHub each with a project attached, a lot of non-tech people (even clients) using the issues and boards. Nobody has complained, though every now and then I've looked around for something else, but for me the number one priority is that the code and issues are in perfect sync with each other - much harder with a 3rd party tracker.
> Hundreds of thousands of dollars in meta stock doesn’t seem like much for someone worth 1000 times that amount over a decade ago…

That fact that it was a drop in the bucket for them makes it that much more outrageous, not less. It would have cost virtually nothing for them to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and yet they didn't. And why should they? There was no consequence. They are taunting us.

If you or I trade off anything close to insider information, we'd be in jail and lose most of our (ostensibly much more limited) assets.

> It’s a restriction on my speech. Telling me where I can publish a video? Telling me what apps I can download? Telling my software vendor what software they’re allowed to let me get? Telling internet providers what servers they’re allowed to let my device access?

You are being ridiculous now. None of those are forms of speech.

And restrictions on your ability to perform certain actions is literally what being in a society is about. If you don't like it then find another society. Just like you can find another ISP, place to publish your video or platform to use apps you want to use.

what if it's a category error to compare companies that have PMF, revenue or profitability with ones that don't.

if you have PMF, remote is easy because it's pretty clear what makes things grow, and there are clear signals about whether something works. if you don't have it (as a company or dept.), then you need a way to secure your next round of either investment, funding, or budget, all while searching for market fit, and without an external feedback loop from a customer. this is a musical chairs game that requires players to attrit as a way to show progress.

I would argue RTO policies mean your firm doesn't have market fit.

A great counter-intuitive example of this is musk's twitter acqisition where he made people go back to the office, and where actually, twitter didn't have market fit anymore because it was mostly bots, served mainly state interests, and its major advertisers were only paying for brand protection from popular sentiment turning against them, and this was the business model of the safety team. It has users, but it is still looking for real, profitable market fit. All his companies have customers and huge investment, but arguably they are still in early stages looking for PMF.

This is why he needs RTO, whereas it literally doesn't matter if FAANG companies do it because they have PMF and their massive growth phase is behind them. FAANGs should do remote because all their current upside comes from solving optimization problems on their existing revenue streams, where companies with steep growth still in front of them should RTO- with a huge caveat.

The direction of causality matters, where RTO doesn't create growth, but it's what you have to do when you don't have it yet. Remote is suboptimal if you still have your massive growth in front of you, but hyper-efficient if you are in the optimization phase of a company.
Just because you share an opinion does not mean that opinion has not been shaped, directed or influenced.

Leaked memo reveals alarming German warnings over Trump
Trudeau needs to call an election now. His government doesn't have the support to take any action. Him and his Liberals are finished, and it's totally inappropriate for them to negotiate this issue.
Nah. It's a huge mistake, yes. But it's not the biggest.

The biggest is overconfidence in AI coding solutions and attempting to replace programmers, while adding a huge expensive dependency on a third party to provide access to the AI models and cloud. It'll be some small schadenfreude consolation when these companies are shaken down by the enshittification of those AI providers.
How exactly does that apply? What's the "corporate welfare" here? Almost nobody is profiting off Gitea, especially not big tech. I know using the big tech boogeyman is useful to justify open source projects rugpulling on their licenses, but it doesn't even apply here. Not that it usually makes sense[0], but in this case it's not even something that the maintainers themselves ever alluded to.

[0] projects like MongoDB, ElasticSearch or Redis only became popular because they were OSS, and probably limited competition for years simply because competing with free is hard. only to then switch on their users years further down the line. So any money that they ever got was due to them being OSS in the first place since absolutely nobody would've used MongoDB 1.0 if it was a commercial product.

Why would the US government be involved in paying tens of billions ?

Younger generations being anti-war is a tale as old as time. Unrelated to the current “TikTok-fed generation”. Meaning TikTok isn’t making them enlightened, that’s just how younger people always are.
You're constructing a straw man without being curious about the things you yourself are missing.

I think there are two aspects to this:

* The software: different open source solutions have very different requirements at a high level: language, platform or even system requirements. Say you want to take messaging off centralized platforms: you need to host something like Matrix, which is very well made and polished but takes a lot of resources to run. Alternatively, you could use Jabber, which scales like no other but is an absolute hell to setup and maintain. Same can be said about music, videos, movies and all other things

* Operations: probably simple if you ask someone on HN, but you still need to understand networking, operating systems and file systems. I started using Linux when I was 11 in the distant 2000, and even now I'm not very enthusiastic if I have to make some changes to my zfs. You also need to consider backups and security and resources. Say you wanna run openstreetmap(which we recently started doing at work). Awesome but that requires an ungodly amount of fiddling in addition to an astonishing amount of time needed to unpack, even on enterprise hardware.

If you are in the tech world, https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted is a great place to start. But if you want to make it simpler... Idk... A lot of people would need to put in a lot of effort, as in build a linux distro around this idea, along with "recommended hardware", one click install(a very dumbed down equivalent of portainer), and some backup and alerting mechanisms built into the system. It's a tough question and frankly I don't have the answer.
I had this happen to my one and only Reddit account of 13+ years.

Shadowbanned one morning, and everything I ever wrote is gone. Appealed, appeal granted, but nothing changed except I can't appeal anymore because it claims my account is normal. I dug up an old resume feedback throw away, and it was killed the same way.

The injustice still hurts, frankly. It was my primary social-media anything for a long time, including the depths of the pandemic.

On the other hand, it's made me want to resurrect my old blog... But still, how to get anybody to talk to if the big stupid gatekeeping system has a vendetta against you?
By choosing not to sideload (where unlocking sideloading is buried so non-technical users don't do it by accident, or even password protected and they can choose to entrust that password to someone else for safe keeping, including the phone manufacturer), or using a reputable alternative repository.

Reddit is a lost cause. They totally got the election wrong and the day afterwards they broke their mind trying to justify the loss with whatever conspiracy theory they could come up with. Combine that with overzealous mods and you'll eventually end up in a situation where the majority of people left are just bots. Bots talking to other bots.
you're implying that these elections are on equal grounds with truthful candidates. I think that's a small part why America has become decreaingly distrustgul of politicians but still vote. Many people on both sides of the aisle have admitted 2024 felt like choosing the least bad candidate.

Pretty sure Oracle had to turn off the servers. I feel like Oracle is now not complying with the law. Apple and Google appear to be as of writing this.

Yes. This is well known since Antiquity when the Athenian Democracy voted to condemn Plato to death.

Read more about the period and you will see that the Democratic cities of yore, Athens first and foremost, often swinged towards taking bad decisions, and that a whole corporation of "sophists" manipulated public opinion without shame (read e.g. Gorgias).

The great progress that enabled the restoration, extention and stabilisation of Democracy in the modern era has been indirect, representative democracy and base, written bill of rights/constitutions that aren't asily modified, requiring majorities of 2/3rds or more and constraint what can be voted on.

Great point – I should definitely have mentioned Julia as your best bet for playing around with multi-methods. I think it's basically the only language with any eco-system to speak of that has them. Julia also happens to be the only extant language I'm aware of that has a well designed shell interpolation syntax. For resumable exceptions, however, playing around with Dylan or CL remains your best bet, as far as I'm aware of (and Common Lisp at least also integrates them into the interactive development experience).

HN and internet forums in general have a contagion of critique, where we mercilessly point out flaws and attempt to show our superiority. It best to ignore them.

> I ask the LLM to build it. That way, by definition, the LLM has a built in understanding of how the system should work, because the LLM itself invented it.

I share the same belief, and as a rebuttal against EagnaIonat's comment, when you ask the LLM to create something, it is finding the centroid of the latent space of your request in its high dimensional space. The output is congruent with what it knows and believes. So yes, the output would be statistical, but is also embedded in its subspace. For code you have written independent of the LLM, that isn't necessarily true.

I think there are many ways we could test this, even in smaller models through constructed tests and reprojection of output programs.

It is like if I asked an OO programmer to come up with a purely functional solution, it would be hard. And then if I asked to take an existing PFP program and refactor and extend it, it would be broken.

Solutions have to exist in the natural space, this is true for everyone.
The downside is mostly in terms of PR. But I agree that Americans and American media would still probably call any foreign ban on Facebook or youtube "censorship". Or would say that Chinese style bans on foreign social media is wrong - except when they do it. So I guess I agree, there's no big downside for Americans.

This is grotesque. Israel is massively influencing US foreign and domestic policy via AIPAC and other lobby groups. AIPAC pays US politicians significant amounts of money, practically buys them. And they are not even registered as foreign entities, something JFK wanted to enforce before he was assassinated.

So who is really manipulating US policy.

And this is the exact group that put pressure on US universities to suppress free speech and on US policy makers to sent Israel weapons worth billions to kill thousands of Palestinian civilians.
