At work we are using nolar/kopf for writing controllers that provisions/manages our kubernetes clusters. This also includes managing any infrastructure related apps that we deploy on them.

We were using whitebox controller at the start, which is also like metacontroller that runs your scripts on kubernetes events. That was easy to write. However not having full control on the lifecycle of the controller code gets in the way time to time.

Considering you are also writing Python did you review kopf before deciding on metacontroller?
Unfortunately this is a topic that attracts LARPers. Remember that if things get spicy, you are not going to settings nerd your way out of a bad interaction with the police.

Tech advice for legal and illegal protests is pretty much diametrically opposite, and advice for countries like the United States is much different than for somewhere like Egypt.

It's complicated!
Perfect is not the enemy of good.
pretty great. How long before deepseek charges for each api call?
>> Office 2024 Professional Plus from a key reseller for £20

Is this key authentic? Which reseller is this?
No need for the law enforcement to do anything. I suspect that a large, thick crowd where everyone carries a phone creates enough radio interference that phones lose contact with the tower very often, and try to reconnect very often, especially when people send or receive messages, auto-upload photos, etc. This keeps the phones in the active state for longer, draining the batteries.
DeepSeek does charge for the API (just 20-30x cheaper than o1), I assume OP is eating the cost.

Not yet, but if all goes according to plan, you should be able to soon!
I bought a wireless dongle for Android Auto, which was convenient for a while, but I also stopped using it in favor of plugging it in, since it drained the battery.
That's such a huge gray area though. One doesn't know why an employer or anyone else decides to fire, or not hire, someone unless the employer documents the reason.

We already have discrimination laws on the books in the US that can't reliably be enforced for this exact reason. I have heard multiple accounts of very clear discrimination taking place in org hiring practices, but they are never documented and when discussed everyone is very careful with their words.
So about the same rate as those New Year's celebrations we're constantly having.
Love the demo, the explanation of entanglement was one of the best I've seen as well
Thanks for aider! It has become an integral part of my workflow. Looking forward to try DeepSeek in architect mode with Sonnet as the driver. Curious if it will be a noticeable improvement as compared to using Sonnet by itself.
Thank you for the examples.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've never used those commands... I'd rather write `docker container ls` than an obscure short-hand alias.

Mark Thom's intention is implementing Shen. I guess it could count as a lisp and that's what you meant, but as lisps go, Shen is highly atypical.
Another way to look at these figures is that in a few years a Wayland successor is due, born out of the same motivation as Wayland ie. lack of people with a desire to maintain legacy software. My expectation is that browser frontend stacks will eat the desktop completely at that point; it's not like there weren't many new desktop apps on Linux anyway.
Redbaiting in 1950s turned out to be absolutely right thing to do, as latest unclassified documents showed. The problem is that now huge amount of us population live in the capitalism but preach socialism, even though there’s quite good choice of leftist countries where they can migrate to.
i love you this is amazing
That's only a problem if the noise of wireless is higher than the signal (measured delay difference). And we can see from the data it isn't. Unless you're claiming it can be consistently different by ~5ms between those two tests... but that's very unlikely. Like, "you should demonstrate it" unlikely.

The advantage the Macs have is that they can share RAM between GPU and CPU, and GPU-accessible RAM is everything when you want to run a decent sized LLM.

The problem is that most ML models are released for NVIDIA CUDA. Getting them to work on macOS requires translating them, usually to either GGUF (the llama.cpp format) or MLX (using Apple's own MLX array framework).

As such, as a Mac user I remain envious of people with NVIDIA/CUDA rigs with decent amounts of VRAM.

The NVIDIA "Digits" product may change things when it ships: https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/24337530/nvidia-ces-digits... - it may become the new cheapest convenient way to get 128GB of GPU-accessible RAM for running models.
Also, they can now proudly proclaim they have 100M+ subscribers to their AI stuff so it's a huge success :P

I'm glad my web-only 365 (business basic without teams, can't use the family plan because I need a personal domain) just renewed for a year so they can't mess with mine.
I think you mean,
The display server cursor (we can draw directly to the frame buffer)
vs
The Compositor Cursor (this involves and extra copy)

It's all software.
You __can__ get good information from an LLM, however you just have to backtrack every once in a while because the information turned out to be false.
Maybe they are at least trying to avoid collecting data of underage people...
I'm not the author, but there's a brief explanation on the GitHub README:

(https://github.com/zacharyreese/DualQRCode)

The generator creates two separate QR codes with high error correction (Level H) and combines them into a single image using pixel splicing. Each cell that differs between the two QR codes is split in two, creating a pattern that can be interpreted differently based on the scanning angle.
as do wayland for the majority of its users.

Fine, we are all happy then.
If iPhone, have a case of active AirTags in the vicinity.
Interesting perspective. I appreciate that it tests the models at different "layers" of understanding.

I have always felt that LLMs would fall apart beyond the summarization. Maybe they would be able to regurgitate someone else's analysis. The author seems to think there's some level of intelligent creativity at play

I'm hopeful that the author is right. That truly creative thinking may be beyond the abilities of LLMs and be decades away.

I think the author doesn't consider the implications of broad use of LLM societally. Will people be willing to fund human historian grad students when they can get a LLM for a fraction of the price? Will prospective historians have gained the training necessary if they've used an LLM through all of school?

I believe the education system could figure it out over time.
I'm more worried that LLMs like this will be used as further justification to defund or halt humanities research. Who needs a history department when I can get 80% for the cost of a few chatGPT queries?
Incorrect on all points. Bitcoin is as private or transparent as we need it to be. Bank account transactions are done on a higher-layer payment network than the base inter-bank clearance network, and the equivalent payment system for bitcoin would be either a bank account nominated in bitcoin, or for a decentralised solution, the lightning network which is instant and can cost less than 0.1% per transaction (compare that to 3% or more for VISA/Mastercard transactions). The bitcoin base layer can transfer trillions of dollars worth of value around the world with full final clearance in less than an hour and for around $2 currently (i.e. 0.0000002% transaction fee for $1B).

As for removing control of the supply from government - that is exactly the point: https://x.com/KenOKeefe1TJP/status/1875962999195816261
I'm not sure I follow.

How is one pretending to possess a quality that is viewed by society at a given place in time as being "virtuous" related to someone suffering from a delusion that they're being persecuted and also related to someone actually experiencing persecution?

Furthermore, I am still confused how you can conclude it's tied to a particular area on the political spectrum.

To be clear, if there's evidence of someone is being persecuted then that is it likely real while in the absence of evidence it is likely that they are suffering from a delusion.
No, the argument I an countering is that since oligopoly is bad, government control would fix it. It has NEVER fixed it. Only more free market could.
This is precisely why financially literate people hold on to the amount of cash necessary to buy and sell goods, keep some excess in an account that bears interest, and the bulk of the rest goes into productive assets.
I was thinking along the lines of „the state wants to oppress the protestors and makes it illegal“, but if you just want to avoid surveillance at a legal protest, yeah, you’re right.
>Stored Procs make everything about your standard DevOps and SDLC process harder - branching, blue green deployments and rolling back deployments.

There is a naming/namespacing strategy incorporating a immutable version identifier that makes this easier, which I have described here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35648974

Note that this requires a strategy for cleaning up old procedures.

It also is possible to individually hash each procedure, which is more sophisticated, and would allow for incremental creation of new procedures.
That means in two more years it will be legal for X11 and Wayland to have a baby!

Oh look, a Hacker News refugee with a Frankenstein 1800x1169 screen—did you split that browser window just to flex your NPC-level multitasking skills in Rockville's tech equivalent of a Starbucks patio? Twelve CPU cores but still running MacOS 10.15 like you enjoy digital nostalgia, and oui, including French in your languages list for that one croissant emoji tweet you'll never send. Chrome 132? At least the RTT is zero, matching your urgency to upgrade anything.

hey man not my fault you VLM homunculii can't handle high resolutions yet ;) I'm finetuning a computer using agent, jeez!
what are you smoking, even recent DeekSeek R1 being 10x cheaper is a breakthrough improvement that would upend an industry in normal times.

You can do 10x more with AI now.

We are still in a huge growth cycle.
I think you're sort of hand-waving here.

I think the concrete question is -- do you need to learn more or fewer abstractions to use kubernetes versus say AWS?

And it looks like kubernetes is more abstractions in exchange for more customization. I can understand why somebody would roll their eyes at a system that has as much abstraction as kuberenetes does if their use-case is very concrete - they are scaling a web app based on traffic.
I'm not American but there seemed to be some strange Republican vs Democrat thing going on where the Repubs said lab and Dems said natural. Why so I'm kind of puzzled myself. In England where I live covid questions were not especially partisan.
Somewhere an SR-71 pilot is definitely rolling his eyes.

You get the performance of containers without the complexity of micro services.
this isn't some gotcha directed at you; but isn't that true if i have a public ipv4 as well? also an adversary would have to know that i am actually using the entire /48, that the ISP does PD, etc which means a skid won't. a government will, but a government isn't gunna fiddle with ipv6 when they can just subpoena the DCs my data traverses and get the same info.

If i visit some site via v6 on my desktop today and in a month from my phone, at home via v6 over wifi, what percentage of companies will pool those two devices (assuming no pooling from merely being my device, etc). Either ipv6 is a nightmare or it's the utopia we were promised i will accept no compromises.
An arrest indicates probable cause a crime happened. It also for instance voided my complaint to the medical board when I complained I was treated without consent for a fabricated medical search for drugs without a warrant. It can also be used against you in immigration processes.
Is there anything in particular you like about what Octant does? I don't see anything that actually looks at the object spec, just the status fields / etc.

It’s just a Special Connectivity Operation.
Docker didn't support nftables for years (idk if they even support it now). I moved my personal machine to Podman because of it!

Also port forwarding in Docker (and Podman!) still bypasses ufw/other firewalls, which is really annoying and surprising (though it doesn't in rootless).
Update: Added the pause menu in levels (press Esc). On touch, there is a burger icon to open it. You can restart the level or load the game from there as well now.

Still a way to go to implement proper start menu and etc. :)
> Finances are kept in poor places, such as banks and bitcoin, the stock market instead of better investment strategies like Bonds and ETFs.

Why do you list stocks in the "poor" places and bonds in the good ones? Why do you see bonds as a better investment than stocks? (Certainly that has not been true historically...)
There's an easier way, don't collect and train on the data for them.
This sounds appealing, but there are two problems.

The first is that AI tools to date are incredibly limited and rigid. MJ is fixated on some arty poses (e.g. portraits with the face tilted back, eyes closed) so a lot of output defaults to those. This wouldn't be so bad if MJ gave you fine control over poses, colour, and so on. But those elements are so entwined in latent space that if you try the same prompt with a different colour you get a completely different result.

The second is that it may not matter. Human slop had taken over the Internet long before AI happened. (Content farm SEO writing, mediocre self-published genre fiction, mediocre genre art, low-effort formulaic video/movie content from the big studios, and so on.)

What's needed is inspired curation and gatekeeping. That's still happening in art to some extent, but it's a foreign concept to most of the creative industries.

So what you get is a conservative cultural process which selects unoriginal unchallenging work, especially if it's supported by effective marketing.

AI curation would be super useful, as an antidote - not just in the arts, but elsewhere.

You can imagine trained AI agents hunting through the slop and finding the gems/stand-out creators, which would add some interesting evolutionary dynamics.

In order to get good query performance from Iceberg, we have to run compaction frequently. Compaction turns out to be very expensive. Any tip to minimize compaction while keeping queries fast?
Improved transparency is already the direction of travel, but pushing back on that is part of "Project 2025" and Trump has signalled that's an important objective.
After all the news on how NATO is deploying military ships to guard the cables Russia proves that it was all words.
I find that although docker is heavier that it integrates well with everything and is far more practical to use so I stick with it. Trying to switch gave me a lot of headaches and burned a lot of time.
Maritime law is definitely not my forte, but I think the convention was related to the tolls imposed to pass through these waters (Sweden's Gota Kanal was built to bypass this). It's also related to "innocent passage", which may not be so innocent in this case. Either way, there are probably provisions here for Denmark to close this off, as ultimately they are Danish waters.
Words like emergent, hallucinate, reason, think, infer.. they carry additional meaning. Their use as terms of art in some cases is because for the cognoscenti it helps understand intent by simile, but for the person in the street it is read to mean much more. There are of course lots of interesting emergent behaviours, the patterns in bistable chemical reactions which fascinated Turing, patterns from fractals, flocking models for particle animations from a few rules.
Amazon has its own AI, "rufas," plastered on the site.
So far I've only seen AI tools used to make things more average. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not sure the tools are up to making the artist more productive. This applies to the generative AI's only. Better editing tools certainly help and they help today, but I wouldn't call them intelligent on the level people are expecting agents to be.
There was one playing the move fast and break things playbook. SVB...
Poking around in the code, I don't see how this can be used with OpenAI or other SaaS LLMs...

Is that part still WIP?
Everything at home is OSS, I switched to OSS everywhere in 2000. I love reading these news, gives me a chuckle.

At work, everything is Microsoft, Copilot 365 and everything. Gives me a headache using it. And a chuckle seeing IT struggle with disgruntled users…
Very cute :) It might be worth adding to the context that Chrome on macOS reports as OS X 10.15.7 (Catalina) no matter what future version you're actually running. It seemed very confused to my other specs but running such an old OS.
Docker is very "less is more" and it shows.
A better deterrence would be Russia's cables being cut too.
It's honestly disappointing and somewhat strange that they didn't go this route. IP barriers?
Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are not producing any product, collecting any interest, etc, with which to buyback or pay dividends. As such, investment in Bitcoin is a zero sum game: in order for you to make money off Bitcoin, someone else has to lose money on Bitcoin. As such, if you don't have a solid understanding of cryptocurrencies, and perhaps more importantly, market principles, you probably shouldn't buy cryptocurrencies because the odds are against you given you're playing this game against some very large, powerful, expert players.

It's actually worse than that because it's being diluted (albeit slowly). The only way around this is for more and more money to be invested in Bitcoin, forever, which obviously isn't sustainable, at least not at historical rates of growth. If world GDP continues to grow, Bitcoin can continue to grow by sucking up that growing value, but that's limited, ultimately by GDP. And there's a limit to how much of GDP people will be willing to put into Bitcoin: for example, 100% of corn farmers aren't going to take their profits from farming corn, and stop putting them into the next year's corn crop to buy Bitcoin instead, because the more corn farmers did this, the higher the price of corn would go, so at some point it would become obviously more profitable to farm corn than buy Bitcoin.

It is quite possible that we will continue to see new all-time highs for Bitcoin in the next few decades--there's still lots of wiggle room between global GDP and Bitcoin market cap. But Bitcoin growth will slow to less than GDP growth at some point. It's simply impossible for that not to happen.
AI is like hiring jr developers, have they any evidence this has worked prior? Why would they expect an equivalent to work?

How did they come to this belief in the 10x AI developer? Get them to question their base assumptions, ask them to justify their expectations
I doubt you can prevent it with warships. But perhaps you can deter it by making the cost greater than the benefit.

What else are you going to do? Stop each and every commercial ship going over any bit of cable? It's not practical.
Curious why using controller for these aspects versus generating the K8s objects as part of your deployment pipeline that you just apply? The latter gives you versioned artifacts you can roll forward and back and independent deployment of these supporting pieces with each app.

Is there runtime dynamism that you need the control loop to handle beyond what the built-in primitives can handle?
For many people yea, but I’ve also had many conversations where very left friends and acquaintances will argue that we shouldn’t density because:

- more dense housing makes housing more expensive (and trying to explain why this isn’t true to them is usually met with some form of “nuh uh, capitalist simp”

- if housing is built by developers and not the government then new housing will be such bad quality that you might as well die instead of have a home

- anything short of the proletariat revolution and the end of history isn’t good enough, so we should oppose density so that the market fails even more and capitalism can finally collapse.

(This is all in Seattle, I’m sure the cocktail party conversations vary around the country)
Since these cables are repaired within days or up to 2 weeks it seems, it can’t cost a fortune. A reasonably sized ship sounds like it would pay for it easily.

Especially as authorities seem to have trouble finding those responsible. Tracing the owner of the ship leads to some hotel in Dubai or similar (previous incident). Just keep the ship until the owners call. If there seems to be no owner interested in taking responsibility, sell it.

And we should start enforcing the requirement for insurance and environmental compliance for any passing the danish straits to/from Russian ports. Any ship that isn’t up to standard can turn back to the Atlantic.
Big part of the reason of Docker's existence is that it's more lightweight than running a VM. That's like on the first page of a Docker tutorial.

It's ok to struggle to learn Docker, I'll admit took me a while to understand the benefits.

Also no need for the font to be bold, we can read normal font.
One cable cut, one russian ship sunked.
Claude works incredibly well for me with asking for code changes to projects filling up 80% of context (160K tokens). It's way expensive with the API though but reasonable through the web interface with pro.
Yes but for instance you can be imprisoned without arrest. CBP has done it to me and I verified no record of arrest with an FBI record search.
Windows Me?
I'm currently building on Render and I concur with the third point. Render is great right now but I know I'm going to need a more sophisticated backend data environment and analytics workloads in the future.
People should stop using(or get used by rather) these crappy platforms. No access to the source code, hence no accountability.
In author’s defence, I think you didn’t understand:

> If your VM is slower, why are you emulating?!

Which I think refers to this part of the article:

> They’re slower to set up, and start up a little slower too
I'd love to read way more stuff like this. There are plenty of people writing about LLMs from a computer science point of view, but I'm much more interested in hearing from people in fields like this one (academic history) who are vigorously exploring applications of these tools.
