>> I know "fairness" is a virtue we teach to children, but honestly there is nothing fair about any part of life

My parents did not teach me that fairness was a virtue. They taught me that "life's not fair". With the unspoken addendum of "deal with it".

I guess I won the lottery in that respect.
The booster did the job and was recovered.
I'd say dihydrogen monoxide is pretty obviously a keystone chemical.
The median user definitely seems smarter on 4chan (at least that is how it felt 10-20 years ago).
So basically user error.
In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.

The back end can exert all manner of downward pressure on accounts that routinely upvote violence .. textual warnings are just the tip.
Eh, this is kinda blogspam. It's been well-covered by others in the past.
> If I'm understanding correctly, this will break whenever the IP address of your tunnel changes. You'll have to reestablish all of your connections.

The tunnel is on localhost only. The VM has a static IPv4/IPv6 with DNS.

Connecting the SSH tunnel from my home is stable as well as connecting to the VM remotely.

I do appreciate Tailscale and Wireguard. I was more responding to the fact that I don't have to trust any provider here, other than the one keeping my VM running.

Also, there's tmux for preserving sessions.
I was using BitBucket for a while, to have paid access to private Mercurial repositories. Once they decided they no longer wanted to support Mercurial, and go with Git, I decided it was best to cut my losses and move to GitHub's paid plans. Atlassian has not handled offboarding of products very well.
My point 1 very much is an argument that people meet less in person because of Tinder et al.

Yep. Strong agreement there.

Outside of some fairly fringe consensual relationships, I agree that humans are not pets.

I did. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Well, the consequences of your stated philosophy are pretty thoroughly explored in this article: <https://theonion.com/no-one-should>.
Yeah, the takeaway shouldn't be "our model is smarter," but that we were able to train weak models to as good or better than the best for this specific task. Depends on what you're doing, but sometimes that is enough.
a lot of memes have texts in them, so you potentially remove ones where context matters a lot of people abuse these to redirect traffic from what I have seen.

Which drugs? Just curious. No judgement.
Not that there's actually anything wrong with being pro-Hamas, but you also know they're going to define this as "strongly opposed to Israel" the same way they have with 'anti-Semitism.'
as an index card enthusiast, I think this is the next step for me.

So they need to get rid of that capability
This is honestly a solid solution, and one that actually feels more "connected" with your coworkers than a website without dark mode, to determine your current sprints or whatever methodology you use.

Even a 'microscopic siliceous structure', which is what they're talking about here? To be clear, I am in no position whatsoever to challenge your statement, just curious as to why it would be unlikely for something invisible to the human eye to be shifted around the planet via plate tectonics (which seems entirely plausible to the layperson that I am).

They also close with an example for Harui's show and earlier try to explain its premise too... Completely ignoring the fact that fans don't care to watch the whole show in any order, but only the "Endless 8", the 8 episodes actually stuck in a time loop.

And even making an example out of 8 episodes would be stupid, as the 8th episode in the Endless is meant to be the very final piece of the loop. It's arguable for the very first, you could in theory watch it out of order too, but it has the most setup of the bunch.

So they only cared for the superpermutation of 6.

Critically abysmal research on the article's part.
>>You're comparing ancient obsolete technology to a streamlined instant messaging client

I'd hardly call discord a 'stream lined' system. Latency (especially in voice which is supposed to be it strong suit) is bad, search is subpar compared to even simple google searches, information is silo'd, its yet another place that can potentially leak PII, and basically the network is a SPOF. SourceForge promised all you mention, and was backed by (at the time) the largest IPO in history..and lasted what 2-3 years before it started decaying? I remember projects scrambling to find hosting after SF - and I remember how fast everyone jumped on GitHub .. I was donating to GH from the beginning just to help prevent another SF scenario...

As for it 'hostile' - its a lot easier to do a google search and find all sorts of information streams about something, rather then having to figure out the discord server for a project, search the discord server, and still miss any info. from outside of discord. That seems more 'hostile' to me then less wall-garden systems.

Edit: last I knew, over 1K oss projects still maintain libera.chat channels
> Doesn't the word "lonely" give you a hint on why this is irrelevant? You aren't going to ride a push bike to pick up fuel for your tractor in the Netherlands either.

The relevance isn't that it is lonely, the relevance is that it is not unique west of the Mississippi. But I welcome you to point me to a country the size of the United States that has solved this problem. I think you'll find they come in two varieties, either they're as spread out as the United States or the entire population is almost entirely against a coast/border wit much of the rest of the country remaining mostly empty.

> It's the USA's sprawling suburbs that weld you to your car's, not your cities or your rural expanses. It's true that's hard to change now. But there is no reason it had to be that way. Your suburbs could have been as compact as those in the Netherlands. The Netherlands made a conscious choice not to do it that way (they built free ways, decided they didn't like them, and turned them into canals ). I'm not sure how the USA arrived at their current arrangement but it wasn't because you "had to".

Western expansion in the United States was a deadly affair prior to railroads and highways. The Netherlands was largely already a developed country when they did all of what you describe. Much of the United States today lives and dies by what little transportation options they have. There is a reason there are over 3,000 ghost towns scattered across the United States west of the Mississippi and it is not because of the sprawling suburbs. When you have one major highway in or out, city planning kind of takes a backseat.
In general, privatizing critical public infrastructure is a terrible idea. Their purpose is supporting lives. As such, the priority should never be about turning profits. On the contrary, many of them have to operate at a loss. Imagine food, supplies, and information not reaching remote places because providing the means to do so is "unprofitable." That can easily upend the lives of tens of millions of people.
How does it compare to qwen32b-r1-distill? Which is probably the most directly comparable model.
On an old team that did this, we joked that the cleaning staff had as much control of the roadmap as the product managers.
The cheap offbrand sticky notes didn't stick very well, so after one or two status changes, or just being on the wall for a while, they tended to fall to the floor. If we were lucky they'd get stuck somewhere at random, and not just thrown out.
As others have said, likely cert transparency logs. Use a wildcard cert to avoid this. They are free using LetsEncrypt and possibly a couple other ACME providers. I have loads of wildcard certs. Bots will try guessing names but like you I do not use easily guessable names and the bots never find them. I log all DNS answers. I assume cloudflare supports strict-SNI but no idea if they have their own automation around wildcard certs. Sometimes I renew wildcard certs I am not even using just to give the bots something to do.

My experience is that discords that arent properly moderated go through a boom/bust cycle.

And that whether in the ascendency or the fall, the moderators trying to maintain complete opaque control will fight to the death to keep it that way.

And where moderation is done more by feel than by rules people start self censoring and then disengage entirely.

But then you go to a discord that has moderation figured out, and its just... a nice place to be?
> Deploying instances from prebuilt AMIs takes a dozen or so lines of Terraform code. Terraform can spin up dozens of instances in less than 5 minutes with a dozen lines of code

That's ignoring everything that goes into even deciding the "nitty-gritty" around the deployment, which is where the bulk of the code comes from. What security keys does the customer use? Do we use ASGs or one-offs? Is the underlying application fault tolerant or not? Does the customer require backups? What subnet does it go in? What security groups need to be added? What are the tags? Is it region-specific? Does it belong in a higher security zone? Does it need specific failover criteria?

500 lines later, you can deploy one VM with everything needed to meet the customer and organizational demands. That's not efficient, but that's how enterprise technology ultimately works.

> Maybe for laggards it's true, but modern enterprises with modern ops teams using modern tooling are deploying most of everything with immutability in mind. Enterprise architecture is immutable by default now, and destroying and replacing is the norm.

So throwing insults isn't exactly helping here, because I'm literally coming from said modern ops teams, using said modern tooling, from a large enterprise. You can apply a universal standard to "all enterprise" all you want, but the cruel reality is that most Enterprise technology does not work in the way you are describing. ERP servers remain mutable, database clusters are mutable, Physical Security appliances are mutable, hypervisor ops appliances are mutable, VPN concentrators are - you guessed it - mutable. We have built the tooling to support immutable architecture, we have demonstrated its capabilities to the Enterprise, we are ready for Kubernetes and Containers both on-prem and in the cloud, but our customers and applications flatly do not use or support it.

This is something I have had to explain time and again to the Powers that Be (TM), that Enterprise Technology and Product Technology needs/pipelines/customers are vastly different, with different paces, needs, and operational goals. No amount of Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Puppet, or other pipeline add-ons are going to speed up Enterprise Technology, because the software providers do not care to do so. If your Enterprise application selection enables immutable architecture across the board, you are exceedingly lucky to have leaders who allow that to be the case, because in my experience - from small MSPs, to major publishers, to giant tech conglomerates, and everywhere in between - Enterprise Technology is mostly mutable infrastructure with old-but-custom software that will never, ever be modernized, and often with SLAs far superior than anything public customers are allowed to have.
That's exactly the attitude they're trying to engineer by providing a new feedback mechanism.

Receiving warnings will help users who mean to be positive participants understand when their votes might have had a different effect, and will provide citable evidence for users who are being stubbornly negative/anti-community.

There's are fair critiques to be made about on how this might supress freedom of expression or how it anxious people who will panic on receipt of a warning, but it otherwise sounds like a practical idea for what it intends to acheive.
I'm personally happy to see effort in this space simply because I think it's an interesting set of tradeoffs (compute ∝ accuracy) - a departure from the fixed next token compute budget required now.

It brings up interesting questions, like what's the equivalency between smaller diffusion models which consume more compute because they have a greater number of diffusion steps compared to larger traditional LLMs which essentially have a single step. How effective is decoupling the context window size to the diffusion window size? Is there an optimum ratio?
Can not find the HN post about challenge of finding if on a closed path within a given plane, there exists at least one rotatable square(?). 2 parallel lines have been proven.

There's a simple mechanical device that provies a simplified representation of wave propigation from a given normal to point on path from which to start/generate search for '4 square points'. aka radar 180 wave propigation with two points returning from same time interval would generate canidate points to check for corresponding normal triangle arc points on the other 180 degrees from normal. aka physics wave tank & wave generate from physical sheet movement (in this case just up/down oscillation of path point normal). -- way more simple to capture via math than describe, but some pretty heavy math theory to understand/interpret equations. problem with math is generating/capturing a time interval that links the 'pond ripples" from path point normal in order to derive the 4 equi-distant points at 90 degree arc intervals from a canidate 'ping' point.

aka moving the normal to path point up/down in 'wave tank' and using ripples out from normal path point to simulated changes in normal to path point length to find a point that lies along the closed path to see if 3 other derivable square points exist on the closed path. max propigation to look at is the minimal 45 degree angle square that can contain the full closed path.

It's a variation on the question of can two or more base terms be used in give context. (classical vs. quantum instance)

a & b are two back to back radars. parallel line of 180 radar a, with parallel line of 180 b. at time index a, if results of a - b cancel out, then there's a square along closed path.

time t of 4 points has to correspond to normal of point on path. Maximum propigation distance is the size of the square box that can completely contain the closed path.

On a ligher note: It's the practical application of enclosing oneself inside of a box, with a board & saw. In order to get out, you cut the board in half and then put the two halves back together to get a whole/hole. The whole/hole in this instance being the normal/rope which provides a singularity link to both the square box with 4 points on the closed path and the associated normal to point on closed path line. Which kinda makes it sound like all one really needs is a naked singularity within proximity to schrodinger's cat to figure things out.

So, if one used water transport device upon which one moves up and down to stay afloat & move along the 'close path" of interst; should be able to find the 'squares' of the path by tracing back circular water ripple intersections on path points via video analysis. 4 ripple radii == 1 point on path == 1 square.

ANN should be able to work out the likely hood of the line path proximity density to ripple density relative to bounding box enclosing the closed path in order to get the likely hood of number of square boxes that exist with 4 points on the closed path.
No they haven't. BitBucket I'm guessing is their number 3 product?

I know Mercurial isn't overly popular but I thought it was wise to have a point of difference to the other offerings.
That's true, but over a relatively short timeframe, those archives have proven to be extremely ephemeral. I can recall multiple instances of feature rich, good quality searchable archive sites existing, improving, then one day vanishing with a huge amount of data, sometimes permanently. There's usually low redundancy and a reliance on an individual or two, who can cease keeping the data at a whim. Such archives don't monetise well, if at all. So it's a hobby project for someone. Over the last fifteen years a screenshot has proven incredibly more reliable than an archive link.
I used to have an e36 m4 and a e39 540i.

Those cars were fantastic when new, but absolute shit boxes after 70-80K miles, then they fall apart as if on purpose.

Plastic cooling system parts. Rear shock tower mounts creaking and cracking. Almost "money shifting" 2nd to 3rd, twice. Steering shimmy that never goes away. Timing chain wear + brokerages. Intake gaskets always needing replacement. Check engine light, always. Budgeting $2K a year just for maintenance.

Yup, I am planning to use thiserror and error-stack for this in the future updates. But, anyhow provides an insanely easy interface for the person using this library, and keeps their mind off the error handling and rather in managing the domain stuff.
Book Review: Developing Digital RF Memories and Tranceiver Technologies for EW
This comes alongside lots of people posting (elsewhere) screenshots of information about plans for explicitly non-violent, organized protests that they posted on Reddit, and the ban notice they got for those posts because they were “inciting violence” (apparently those notices include the “offending” post, idk, I’ve never been banned on Reddit probably because I barely use it)

They could be lying, photoshopping the screenshots or whatever, but there are a lot of them with similar stories.

So FYI you may get warned for upvoting posts about upcoming protests that are planning to follow the ACLU’s guide for legal peaceful protests, complete with that fact being stated in the post itself, if these are true.
There's such thing, at least in prototype stage. Like cryptDB, which, afaik is homomorphic with a nice property of preserving the order of encrypted keys. It leaks some information, but you can apply predicates different than equality, like `where a between 100 and 200`. In that case, the query passed to server will look like `where a between encrypted(100) and encrypted(200)` and server will be able to apply it, without knowing real values of the range limits or data stored in `a` column. With encryption function which don't preserve order, the data would need to be filtered client-side, so whole projection would be dumped to client and it would be the client who first decrypts the data, and then filters-out unnecessary rows.
If you did not change the context length, it is certain that it is not 2k or so. In "/show info" there is a field "context length" which is about the model in general, while "num_ctx" under "parameters" is the context length for the specific chat.

I use modelfiles because I only use ollama because it has easy integration with other stuff eg with zed, so this way I can easily choose models with a set context size directly.

Here nothing fancy, just

FROM qwq
PARAMETER num_ctx 100000

You save this somewhere as a text file, you run

ollama create qwq-100k -f path/to/that/modelfile

and you now have "qwq-100k" in your list of models.
It's a natural term to use for it. Since about the time of the Romans.

As a Northern European who's been living in USA for a while now, one harsh lesson was that a lot of things are cheap here, but they are often cheap because they're both manufactured cheaply, and horribly designed. Everything here encourages buying crap, using it for at most a year, and then throwing it away.

Average-house fixtures in Europe are probably higher quality than average-house fixtures in the US.

> Additionally, marketing materials produced by the manufacturers of cell-site simulators indicate that they can be configured to [...] edit messages, and even spoof the identity of a caller in text messages and calls on a 2G/GSM network.

From a policing perspective... wouldn't that be uncomfortably close to evidence tampering, if they created false messages attributed to a defendant? Are there currently legal standards around situations where the police impersonate the defendant?

Ask HN: What Problem Would You Solve with Unlimited Time and Money? [Mar 2025]
I love the innovative ideas and unexpected insights from HN citizens. Let’s go deep—what challenge would you tackle? Why? What's stopping you?
Screen time tracking has been broken for a while. The tracker will count powered down device time as use. There are multiple apple support and reddit threads noting that it’s indeed broken, and apple controls the mechanisms to track screen time natively, so there isn’t a suitable 3rd party option either.
And this gets into another complication of ET that doesn't happen with PT: with Product Tech, the onus is on the customers to modernize around a new update, whereas with ET, it's our responsibility to work around the customers, on their schedule, and their timeline, unless we want to be fired for "bad customer service".

We cannot simply rip and tear like Product can, placing trust in your orchestrators to rebuild from configs with brand new instances. We can't spool up Chaos Monkey and test-tank the ERP system, because the ERP team has no interest (or political benefit) in modernizing their infrastructure to support Configuration Management tools or pipelines.
You can not just discard the oldest data of a long-running execution trace when doing replay-based time-travel debugging.

You can not replay execution without a known state followed by all non-determinism after that state which is most easily done by starting from the initial state. To discard data, you need to manifest a state snapshot corresponding to that time to enable forward reconstruction from that state.
