For some perspective, bone evidence of pre-Columbian Indians showed that they regularly suffered from famine. There was also the constant threat of warfare from neighboring tribes.

The American colonists didn't fare much better, their bone evidence was one of extreme overwork and malnutrition.
Indeed, but the neural engine does this faster and using heavier models. For example, on-device Siri was not possible until the introduction of the neural engine in 2017.

3. publishes that research as PDF as well.

Receipt scanning is a multiple orders of magnitude more valuable business. Mistral at this point is looking for a commercial niche (like how Claude is aiming at software development)
Congrats to the Mistral team for launching! A general-purpose OCR model is useful, of course. However, more purpose-built solutions are a must to convert business documents reliably. AI models pre-trained on specific document types perform better and are more accurate. Coming soon from the ABBYY team, we're shipping a new OCR API designed to be consistent, reliable, and hallucination-free.

Since you are eyeing DEs, I would suggest not to spend too much time on Calculus.

I have two resources in mind: Calculus Made Easy (available freely on Project Gutenberg) by Thompson, and simply Khan Academy.

Intel x86 cores have had Last Branch Records (LBRs) and Branch Trace Store (BTS) since at least Merom in 2006 [1][2]. Nowadays, there's Processor Trace (PT) or Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) which can provide even more information. PT in particular is almost purpose-built to enable this kind of trace reconstruction.

>What used to take them ~45min by hand using prebuilt AMIs, now takes ~500 lines of Terraform "code" and several hours of troubleshooting every time

This is just operational immaturity. No one should be building anything "by hand," everything should be automated. 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: https://dev.to/bennyfmo_237/deploying-basic-infrastructure-o...

If you're not operationally mature enough, the problem isn't the tool, it's you. This is basic Terraform usage.

>because Enterprise architecture is mutable by default and cannot simply be torn down and replaced.

This is no longer correct/true. 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.

I still carry a "Hipster PDA"[1] around, binder clip and all. Said binder clip came out of a box from the 1970s.

It's immensely useful in a pinch, it's free form, and I can place it flat on a surface and write on it.

And, if I write sensitive information on a card, unlike a regular pocket notebook, I can store it or take a secure photo of it and physically pitch that index card.

Thanks, Merlin Mann[2].

Hey @idlefeature

Member of the OpenFGA team here.

TLDR: OpenFGA supports recursive nesting - you can find many examples (e.g. GDrive) of that in the sample stores repo [1] and the documentation.

For your case:

> "User C manages User B, who owns Object A."

In the model, that is represented by:

```

model

schema 1.1

type user

relations

define manager: [user]

type folder

relations

define owner: [user]

```

So:

- Object A is owned by User B.

- User B is managed by User C.

- User C is managed by User D.

These can all be expressed as tuples:

```

- user: user:D, relation: manager, object: user:C

- user: user:C, relation: manager, object: user:B

- user: user:B, relation: owner, object: folder:A

```

> "User D should be able to view Object A, because User D manages User C, who manages User B, who owns Object A."

The model would become

```
model

schema 1.1

type user

relations

define manager: [user]

define managed_by: manager or managed_by from manager

type folder

relations

define owner: [user]

define can_view: owner or managed_by from owner

```

Notice how on the folder, you cannot say `manager from manager from owner`, but you can model your way around it by adding the `managed_by` relation on the user.

You can play with this sample on the FGA Playground here [2] (give it any name to continue, note that this is publicly viewable/editable). Your use-case is similar to the expenses sample [3]

Another option the docs is warning you of is that in order to use a relation as the base of a `from`, it MUST be just a directly assigned type, for example the below is not allowed as owner has redirects (or manager from owner), so cannot be used as the base of a recursive from

```

type folder

relations

define owner: [user] or manager from owner

define can_view: owner or manager from owner

```

but as you saw above, you can work around it with modeling slightly differently to reach the desired solution

In case it is easier for you, feel free to ask on our Discussions page or CNCF channel [4] as they render markdown a bit better than here on hn.

As for other AuthZ frameworks that support recursion, most of the Zanzibar[5][6] inspired ones (like what OpenFGA is) do, in fact it's one of the strong suits of a Zanzibar inspired approach to AuthZ.

Agreed, though in this case, they are going for general-purpose OCR. That's fine in some cases, but purpose-built models trained on receipts, invoices, tax documents, etc., definitely perform better. We've got a similar API solution coming out soon (https://digital.abbyy.com/code-extract-automate-your-new-mus...) that should work better for businesses automating their docs at scale.

Milton Friedman's essay on making a pencil:

"Look at this lead pencil. There’s not a single person in the world who could make this pencil. Remarkable statement? Not at all. The wood from which it is made, for all I know, comes from a tree that was cut down in the state of Washington. To cut down that tree, it took a saw. To make the saw, it took steel. To make steel, it took iron ore. This black center—we call it lead but it’s really graphite, compressed graphite—I’m not sure where it comes from, but I think it comes from some mines in South America. This red top up here, this eraser, a bit of rubber, probably comes from Malaya, where the rubber tree isn’t even native! It was imported from South America by some businessmen with the help of the British government. This brass ferrule? [Self-effacing laughter.] I haven’t the slightest idea where it came from. Or the yellow paint! Or the paint that made the black lines. Or the glue that holds it together. Literally thousands of people co-operated to make this pencil. People who don’t speak the same language, who practice different religions, who might hate one another if they ever met! When you go down to the store and buy this pencil, you are in effect trading a few minutes of your time for a few seconds of the time of all those thousands of people. What brought them together and induced them to cooperate to make this pencil? There was no commissar sending … out orders from some central office. It was the magic of the price system: the impersonal operation of prices that brought them together and got them to cooperate, to make this pencil, so you could have it for a trifling sum.

That is why the operation of the free market is so essential. Not only to promote productive efficiency, but even more to foster harmony and peace among the peoples of the world."

Reading the comparison with PD [1] and having been a Pagerduty customer...even if it's promo material for a competitor, it resonates a LOT with my experience with PD (and boy, I do have experience with it).
The web UI and the limitations around overrides, paging groups, escalation policies etc are all real and makes me wonder: how is it possible that a behemoth in the space like PD is stagnating like that? I understand, big enterprises as clients which are notoriously slow, being the incumbent and being a big corporation yourself, but still, I don't get it.

Yes, that's great. This part:

"Intuitively, a succinct data structure is one whose space usage equals the space needed to write out the data, plus something that grows more slowly than that. If you're familiar with little-o notation, a succinct data structure is one whose space usage is X + o(X), where X is the number of bits needed to write out the data itself."

Brings to mind COBS encoding, which does this for streams bytes containing arbitrary length "packets" or similar.

This was a much needed change; because it was insane having a dementia patient as a president.

The democratic party needs to explain why his mental condition was swept under the rug at the expense of the American people.
I live in Europe / UK and I'm not aware of being in a subordinate periphery. We have cooperated with the US in opposing Russia / the USSR but I'm not aware of being in part of the US empire and you may note that now the White House has been occupied by the Kremlin and is telling Ukraine to surrender to Russia, we are telling them to sod off with that. Is the UK part of the US empire or is the US still partly part of the British Empire and how can I tell?

Also re Australia, it's a long standing military ally of the US but it still a constitutional monarchy under the British crown - I think they still have Liz on some of the bank notes. I guess military cooperation trumps head of state? It all gets confusing.
> How is that better than just funding it from the general fund as a welfare wealth transfer?

Its a wealth transfer regardless of how what you name the pockets the funds pass through on the way to effecting it, another rotation of the names is irrelevant to the function of the solution. The issue is where you get the money (through additional revenue, reduced other spending, or additional debt) to pay for the stabilization, and I think additional revenue in roughly this manner is one of the better ways to do this (I'm actually fine with stopping calling it a separate tax and fund, rolling this tax into income tax, and also making the income tax apply to all income, including capital gains, gifts, and inheritances, equally, and also allowing both voluntary recognition of income for tax purposes in advance of earning/realization and allowing certain taxable events -- especially isolated capital gains windfalls and inheritances -- to be recognized for tax purposes over a period of several years after they occur, but that's getting farther and farther off the immediate topic of funding of Social Security, though the whole set of ideas is interconnected though they aren't all strictly dependent on each other.)

Yes. Please. Stop. AI summaries are often terrible and miss anything resembling a subtle point. Generating long form from a summary is just literally packing the summary with obvious information and made up bullshit.

I went to a somewhat highly regarded (not MIT or CalTech tier) tech school, and then to a state university.

The tech school considered it a boast that it had more graduate students than undergrad. It was clear where the professors' emphasis was. I recognize the lecture halls where you couldn't ask questions, and the barely-anglophone instructors. (Everyone in the EE department, in particular, seemed to come "fresh off the boat" from China bringing precious little English knowledge with them. The prof for my introductory EE course mumbled on top of it.)

Then I went to state school. Ho-lee shit. Complete difference. The bad profs were incompetent chucklefucks who couldn't cut it in real academia. The good profs actually cared about teaching undergrads.

I learned a lot about choosing a college -- a few years and a few tens of thousands of dollars too late.
