I don’t interpret those words that way. I see that as a recognition of the VSR paper, as had been recently highlighted in VSR revisited at the time of publication. I guess you would have to ask the author if VSR had actually influenced his work, it’s certainly possible, but not the inference I would make from that snippet.

The paper references Paxos something like 100 times, versus 3 for VSR. It defines itself as a more understandable alternative to Paxos, so it was certainly influenced both by the existence and relevance of Paxos, and also in opposition to its apparent difficulty.

> its supply is actually limited (unlike gold, which is near-infinite in the universe)

100% (to very many significant figures) of the gold in the universe has a sufficiently near infinite cost to deliver to the surface of the earth that it is irrelevant to any discussion of human economics; once that subset is eliminated, the available supply of gold is quite finite.

And this is the correct answer, thank you.

Transparency logs are fine except if you have a wildcard cert (or no https, obviously).

IP scans are just this: scans for live ports. If you do not provide a host header in your call you get whatever the default response was set up. This can be a default site, a 404 or anything else.
Could be a number of ways for example a default TLS cert, or a default vhost redirect.

I actually had a job once a few years ago where I was asked to hide a web service from crawlers and so I did some of these things to ensure no info leaked about the real vhost.

Except that nothing is going away. We did the same, migrate from PD to OpsGenie. As soon as they offered to use JSM instead, we tried it and it’s great. Only one mobile client for everything, all old OpsGenie integrations just keep running, you still have heartbeats. JSM is the same product, just integrated into Jira. If you have OpsGenie running, migrating to JSM is just the push of a button.
Hi zackmorris,

If I may so bold as to refer to you as "my friend" (having never met you)...

My friend, I think I understand what you mean. I am about the same age too.

I would like to propose an idea to you - and it is something I have been exploring very deeply myself lately.. maybe the thing we need to start spending our time on is exactly this meta problem now. The meta problem is something like (not perfectly stated): we as humans have to decide what we value such that we can continue to give our existence purpose in the future.

I don't think AI is going to be the be-all-end-all, but it is clearly a major shift that will keep transforming work and life.

I can't point yet at a specific job, or task - but I am spending real time on this meta problem and starting to come up with some ideas. Maybe we can be part of what gets the world, and humans, ready for the future - applying our problem solving skills to that next problem?

I mean all of the above in 100% seriousness and I am willing to chat sometime if interested to compare notes.

Yeah, I agree, the point is basically the same – I think it’s the tone that was the problem. You don’t have to be overly positive and wrap your opinion with tons of fluff, just remember it’s other people’s work you’re talking about (and not everybody is good at explaining what they do!)
I work at incident.io and we’ve had to help a number of our customers who were affected by this. While Atlassian frame it like you can migrate, there’s no official migration story and the feature lists don’t match at all.

We’ve got a good migration story (import OG schedules and escalation paths, etc) so most customers just migrate to us, but if you didn’t have that option the Atlassian migration is much more painful.

As the number of self-corrections increases, it also increases the likelihood that it will say "oh that's not right, let me try a different approach" after finding the correct solution. Then you can get into a second-guessing loop that never arrives at the correct answer.

If the self-check is more reliable than the solution-generating process, that's still an improvement, but as long as the model makes small errors when correcting itself, those errors will still accumulate. On the other hand, if you can have a reliable external system do the checking, you can actually guarantee correctness.
They really went for it with the hieroglyphs opening.
This made me also think of an LLM. But looking into their other press releases this seems to be their style if writing, also for the press releases predating LLMs.
There are Xeon-based crypto motherboards on AliExpress with ~five x8 slots, I do sometimes wonder if those would work. NVIDIA Tesla K80/P40 24GB are on eBay for minimum $15 apiece. 120GB VRAM under $500 or so. Or maybe you could theoretically do a 96GB per node cluster with one x8 link for bottleneck free interconnect.

But it's likely never going to work, too many driver, compatibility, requisite Kernel development, and power issues, to name a few. Probably cheaper in the end to just go buy 5090 and rant about CUDA.

... And? We're judging it for the merits of the technology it purports to be, not the pockets of the people that bankroll them. Probably not fair - sure, but when I pick my OCR, I want to pick SOTA. These comparisons and announcements help me find those.
And does calling a person a hypocrite make them go 'Oh gosh, you're right. Let me immediately change my opinion.'? No, even the most justified ad hominem does nothing more than encouraging self censorship, which is completely contrary to what's desired when the goal is to understand what people truly think and believe.

Humans are not consistent. We hold conflicting views, and in a decade we'll think a good chunk of what we believe today is idiotic. It's all fine and normal.

I would also add that in many cases claims of hypocrisy are themselves somewhat disingenuous, because scarce (and perhaps even undesirable) is the human that holds any given view as absolute dogma. We all hold views and values on a spectrum. For instance utilitarianism and taking the 'intuitive' solution to the trolley problem are not mutually exclusive, because one's adoption of utilitarianism is often of the nature of simply generally preferring utilitarian solutions, rather treating it as the be all, end all, of decision making.
It’s an alerting/incident response incumbents thing. Ask anyone how much PagerDuty/Opsgenie have improved in the last decade and you’ll have the answer!

There’s a first wave of incident startups that responded to the market having stagnated about 4 years ago (incident.io, FireHydrant, Rootly) then a slew of extremely recent (<1 year) companies leaning into AI incident response.

It’s weird that Opsgenie is just quitting that race but realistically they weren’t really competing in terms of pace of development. Felt more like Opsgenie was bought under the assumption IR was a ‘solved’ problem that Atlassian could just add to their stack and be done with it, while today it’s increasingly apparently that just paging someone is the smallest part.

Beware the man whose handwriting sways like a reed in the wind
That's the euphemism treadmill though, isn't it? "Retard" literally means late or delayed (hence French: en retard). Back when it was originally introduced to refer to a handicap, it was chosen for that reason to be a kind, polite, and indirect phrasing. That will also be the fate of any new terms that we choose. Hence for example in physics the term retarded potential (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential) was chosen to refer to the delaying effect of the speed of light on electromagnetic fields, before the word had any association with mental disability.

Words don't need to retain intrinsic hurtfulness; their hurtfulness comes from their usage, and the hurtful intent with which they are spoken. We don't need to yield those words to make them the property of 1990s schoolyard bullies in perpetual ownership.

To that extent I'd still say this article's usage is not great.

I remember watching the YouTuber Northernlion play this game and you could immediately tell that Balatro was special. The mechanics, the logic, the graphics, everything just worked.

Balatro is an absolute indie darling and one of the greatest games of this decade. I still think it not getting the GOTY was a miss, this should be a wake-up moment for the industry. Gameplay talks. Not micro transactions, not ultra realistic graphic, gameplay. If your game is fun, people will play it.

Hope many more games like this will come out in the upcoming years, if the industry learned anything.

This is a very good answer.

The last part is probe to discussion, though. You need to make the lock weaker, yes, but maybe just a little bit and you maybe need 4.5 days to open it vs. the 5 days when there is no master key. It is a matter of math (mechanics in that case) and risk assessment.

Each to their own - I personally find the ornate decoration, richly coloured walls, large pictures etc quite unpleasant, almost eerie. It is mentally too noisy and overwhelming - I much prefer a simpler approach - not necessarily "minimalist", but simple, light and plain are best for me. Calming, relaxing, peaceful, quiet.

More important than decoration though for me is the quality of the architecture, the quality of the space it self - light, human-scale, how you move through the spaces, outlook and views etc

Parquet tuning has always been like that, ever since it first came out in 2013.

I worry with Iceberg that people think it's just a case of "use an Iceberg table in Snowflake" and boom, amazingly fast querying of data in S3!
Collapse and failure are terms that imply an outcome that would not reflect reality if we did nothing to change the system. Reduction of benefits by about 15% is the insolvency we’re expecting. That is an important distinction that could easily be remedied by a couple policy tweaks or an uptick in immigration. And the collapse even has been predicted to occur for decades, with the tipping point as far back as the 80’s.

Right now I'm searching for the optimal solution to host containers in a small but cool way. Thinking about just using a plain Linux host, configured via ansible and compose.

Warewulf sounds fun to try :D all of my profiles would probably only have one node. Does Warewulf make a fraction of sense when having a tiny, quasi-local environment?

To add to this, EU's 2021 eIDAS (the one with mandatory trustlist) was a response to similar lack of availability. Contrary to what most HNers instincively thought it wasn't about interception: EC was annoyed that none of root programs is based in EU, and that causes 100% of trust decisions to be made on the other side of the Big Water. EC felt a need to do something about in, having in regard the fact that TLS certificates are needed for modern business, healthcare, finance etc., they have seen it as economy sovereignity issue.

My point is, lack of options, aka availability, is (or may be perceived as) dangerous on multiple layers of of WebPKI.
