Microsoft Teams already provides similar built-in features, along with translation, and I have to say it is one of the rare AI tools from Microsoft that makes sense and actually works -- I had good experience using it for reviewing meetings in non English language. It's not hard to imagine that this will be a standard feature of all mainstream video conference software. Wonder what is the place for these tools.

There's a lot of truth to that. Older projects often get bogged down by new security & compliance horizontals, to the point where maintenance is just no longer worth it.
I think there's a very strong case to be made for breaking up your computing needs into separate devices that specialize in their respective niche. Last year I followed the 'PCMR' advice and dropped thousands of dollars on a beefy AI/ML/Gaming machine, and it's been great, but I'd be lying to you if I didn't admit that I'd have been better served taking that money and buying a lightweight laptop, a NAS, and gaming console. I'd have enough money left over to rent whatever I needed on runpod for AI/ML stuff.

How are S3 buckets blocked from public access? I mean I know there is literally a “Block public access” feature that keeps S3 buckets from being read or written by unauthenticated users. But as far as I know without some really weird bucket ACLs you can still access S3 buckets if you have the IAM credentials.

Before anyone well actually’s me. Yes I know you can also route S3 via AWS internal network with VPC Endpoints between AWS services.
The Prophet of Parking: A eulogy for the great Donald Shoup
The most egregious limitation is the absurdly small sample size (n=16), which utterly cripples its statistical power. The authors throw around p-values without any serious correction for multiple comparisons.. Their confidence intervals (CIs) are embarrassingly wide in several places, making many of their so called significant findings borderline meaningless. For example, their pharmacokinetic (PK) values show ranges so broad (eg: Tmax varying from 0.25–5.0h, CL/F spanning 1.6–22 L/h) that any attempt at a reliable dose-response relationship collapses under basic scrutiny; their p-values dance precariously around the threshold of significance. (There are many more)

You forgot (d) which is that the people involved are often terrible people.

The issue of people on mind-altering substances being involved with "facilitators"/therapists who use that power for their own ends showed up even in the recent MAPS trial with alleged professionals.

LSD and other psychedelics like mushrooms of mescaline are best used with someone who actually cares about you in a setting you control for self-exploration and absolutely devoid of the kind of people who become psychedlic-assisted underground therapists.
Even more than just simply watermarking LLM output, it seems like this could be a neat way to package logprobs data.

Basically, include probability information about every token generated to give a bit of transparency to the generation process. It's part of the OpenAI api spec, and many other engines (such as llama.cpp) support providing this information. Normally it's attached as a separate field, but there are neat ways to visualize it (such as mikupad [0]).

Probably a bad idea, but this still tickles my brain.

I worked on compilers at Fortify which does static code analysis, and it's always surprised me SSA does not come up more in context about how to write clean, maintainable, and secure code.

SSA makes auditing code for dataflow issues much easier - both for people and programs. If you learn how to transform your code to SSA, you might find yourself choosing to write code this way so that you know, exactly, where that input to whatever sensitive string you are building came from. You can more easily trace the lifetime of that input and see what transformations it has been through already.

I feel like I am the only person in the world talking about SSA outside of compilers! It is useful for humans as well, and we all want to write readable and secure code.
I considered doing this once, a few years ago, but I couldn't figure out a way to make it work.

It's pretty frustrating that when you're shopping for a laptop, nobody can tell you it'll suspend properly under Linux. Or when you're shopping for a bike light nobody can tell you whether over the summer it'll self-discharge to the point it bricks itself due to cell imbalance. Or when you're shopping for a microsd card, nobody can tell you.... you get the picture.

But to produce honest reviews, I couldn't accept free review units, kickbacks or affiliate money. And people shopping for laptops and bike lights don't need a $$$-per-month subscription to my newsletter/channel/patreon, they just need a few yes-or-no answers.

And there's a huge amount of churn in products on sites like Amazon; you wouldn't just pay for 40 bike lights, review them all, and solve the problem forever. Different models and brands appear all the time.

And even then, just because when I reviewed that microsd card and found it had great performance, nothing stops the manufacturer substituting cheaper components later on, without changing the part number; it's not like there was a specification promising the performance I observed in my review.
> I posted exactly the same thing in a reply to you way earlier in the thread [1]. It didn't take so long to post, you just weren't paying attention.

I'm not asking why YOU took so long to respond or finding fault in your reasoning abilities, I'm saying there's been a lot of arguing in general in this sub-topic, and few people mentioned this fact -- which is the only relevant fact for challenging vos Savant's formulation of the problem (which matters because it's what sparked all this fuss).

> It didn't take so long to post, you just weren't paying attention.

This is the most dismissive possible thing to say, especially in response to a comment of mine where I'm conceding a point. I missed ONE other particular comment of yours, hence "I wasn't paying attention"? Wow. Sorry for not following your every response to everything.

You can also choose to legally declare that your patents may only be used for defensive purposes. But no one ever does this, because they do not actually intend to use them only for defensive purposes. This is a bogus defense of software patents.

i think what's being conflated here is that there are reasonably buyers for this kind of vulnerability but there's no market in the truest sense. I think a correctly connected individual could well sell this vuln to a state actor or a contractor to one; but the ecosystem of bug sales to these parties has no aggregate appetite for them, thus, there is nothing driving the price up. People in the market for cyberweapons want point and shoot vulns that have broad usage beyond a specific server for a specific company or parts for them, and ones that will last beyond a single corporation patching something. They are willing to pay such big $$$ for this that the whole market is optimized for it. The power players here would much rather buy a gun and shoot the lock off a door than a specialised set of picks that work for that lock in that building.

> Russia has never shown hostility to EU

In some parallel reality, perhaps it's so. In this world, Russia has been remarkably hostile for a very long time, to the point where the entire 1300 km border between Finland and Russia - except for one crossing for freight trains - remains closed since 2023, because Russia ferried migrants from the Middle East and Africa to the Artic circle and forced them to cross the border into Finland to destabilize the country.[1]

This kind of hybrid attack was launched on even a larger scale against Poland, by Belarus, with Russian support once again.[2][3]

Not to mention smaller acts such as desecration of memorial sites in Latvia[4], vandalizing the car of Estonian interior minister[5], and smuggling incendiary devices on board of DHL cargo planes[6].

Greenland belongs to Denmark, and just today, Danish intelligence (FE) issued a new threat assessment[7]:

According to FE, Russia is undergoing significant military reforms aimed not only at sustaining operations in Ukraine but also at preparing for potential engagements with NATO countries. /---/ While the report does not conclude that a large-scale war in Europe is inevitable, it warns that such a scenario is increasingly plausible if NATO does not reinforce its military posture. The findings indicate that European countries must accelerate their defence efforts to prevent Russia from exploiting weaknesses in the alliance.

The argument posited was that Europeans during the "Dark Ages" were inferior economically and culturally to the Native Americans. There's virtually no point in history in which this was true.

That's just a few examples. There's no single source, it's self evident when surveying the Early Middle Ages.

There was an article a long time ago about cheeseburgers and how impossible the logistics of cheeseburgers were back in the day. A tomato in winter? Nope. Ground beef? A sesame seed bun? Cheese?

I suppose, but most people do not believe killing animals to benefit humans is wrong.
This is indeed the solution for every industry. The main issue is that really often companies get bought with assets by another company that just let them rot. So you would need a provision that in case of non maintenance it should be released. But then they would fight you in court because they use specific code or design in a newer device and that would release it to the public... So while it would be the perfect solution for the patients I doubt our society is really organized to represent their rights and needs (and we see that with insurance as well)
Really surprised at the lack of “big” names on the list. My gut reaction was “really, no PyCon?” But when I went to the PyCon channel, even the keynotes from last year barely cracked a thousand views.
I think the main drive for the modern version SSR was SEO. The workload part? the whole point of SPAs was to move compute - especially fancy UI compute down to the client so the server only had to move data... so we're just completing the circle again.

>Also the more people get used to seeing it.

This is a great idea in theory, but doesn't always hold up well. With a sufficiently large and old project, and when people move on and off either parts of the code or the entire project regularly...it doesn't hold up as well.

No one may see or touch that code again for years. By the time someone realizes there's a missed edge case or it needs expansion, it may simply be too late. The person that worked on it may be gone completely or haven't worked on that part of the code in those years.
My friend, you really don't know what you are talking about, and getting all riled up like this is not the right way to learn.

Freely licensing your patents doesn't protect you against patent trolls. I wrote out how patent fights work in another comment, but here it is again.

Company A comes to Company B and says, "Hey! You are infringing on one of my patents!"

Company B says, "oh really? Well let me look through my collection of patents and see if you are infringing on any of mine."

Company A says, "oh, um, nevermind, I think I was mistaken."

Company B says, "yes, that's what I thought"

Now, imagine if Company B had already freely licensed all their patents. That defense wouldn't work.

I agree with you that it's a crappy system, but simply standing with your arms folded and saying, "I'm not playing," isn't going to work.

What do you mean by "foundational"?

I love Calculus Made Easy, but in my opinion the reason it's so good is that it doesn't try to be foundational. It relies on quick and dirty tricks -- especially, treating dy/dx as a fraction when it can't be formally defined as such, but where doing so makes the subject much more intuitive and easy. It's not really a good foundation for further study, you need something that doesn't cut corners for that, but it's fantastic for what it is!

My favorite foundational book is Linear Algebra by Jim Hefferon:

https://hefferon.net/linearalgebra/

It is free, and I've seen the author on HN occasionally. It's foundational in the sense that it builds up the subject brick by brick, assuming the minimum realistic prerequisites needed, and it does an outstanding job of this.

But it's a slow read, essentially by design. If you want something quicker, you might try Interactive Linear Algebra by Margalit and Rabinoff:

https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu/ila/

Again free, with lots of widgets to play with.

Some other textbooks I really like:

Epp's Discrete Mathematics is fantastic. The newest edition is astronomically expensive, so go looking for used copies of previous editions.

Carter's Visual Group Theory is tremendous fun. Once again not foundational per se, but if you want to learn what group theory is all about without slogging through lots of formalities, that's a great choice. I'd say that roughly it's in the spirit of Calculus Made Easy.

Also, if you enjoy poker, check out Dan Harrington's books on the subject. In the course of explaining hold'em strategy, they will teach you lots about probability, counting, expected value, and game theory in an applied setting. They're fantastically written.
WASM has select uses. Cold startups for functions is one of them and glad Cloudflare was able to use it.

I however don't have that problem. Every environment I've been in has banished Lambdas for most things because writing ourselves into knots to keep the lambdas going wasn't worth just having a small container listening to SQS/Kafka was easier and if we needed to scale, we could.
I don't get this argument. It is clear that if it wasn't for DetSys making a better installer, we wouldn't have one, period.

And now there is some movement from NixOS to bring the new installer as a replacement of the old one: https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer. It doesn't seem that Eelco or anyone in CppNix is actively trying to sabotage the improvement in the installer, but they simple don't care enough to improve the situation (that is fair enough, I assume most in the core team use NixOS).

Disturbing to see, unprecedented for someone to behave so cavalier in the Oval Office in front of the media. Speaking (poorly) at length and overshadowing the President while he sits there, with Elon greasy looking and wearing a dirty T-shirt and black baseball cap, the whole circusesque scene is wow beyond belief, bad vibes all around.

Piling on the above, Musk's verbal diarrhea makes it even worse. He downplays the role of DOGE, saying he's stopping 150 year old Social Security collectors, when in reality he's shutting down critical government functions on the daily ("XX agency: R.I.P.").

"We post our activity on X! And the DOGE website." Because now X is totally a valid outlet for government activity.. 
, gross.

It's all one big lie, and the rest of the government has apparently been capitulated, resistance is futile. What does the ending look like in this case?

It is exactly what I am talking about. Rendering the component on the server, takes up resources, as opposed to just sending that data to the client, and the client rendering it.

In Nextjs, "use client" is used to force the rendering to take place in the client, because many components cannot me rendered in the server. For example maps. In this case, it's unnecessary to use an SSR framework.
There are a few projects for Rust only OSes. Redox aims at the desktop, Hubris aims at microcontrollers, to name two I'm aware of.

But there's a huge difference between "let's make it easier for driver writers to write correct drivers by using Rust in the OS we all already use" and "let's create a whole OS and convince driver writers to write drivers for it and then users to use it".
Every single person who winds up in that situation has said or thought exactly that about someone else. There’s a reason all this advice is a cliche, and there’s a reason we have to keep giving it, and just consider yourself lucky that you still don’t understand why that is. It’s harder to be human than it seems.
