> Enterprise architecture is immutable by default now, and destroying and replacing is the norm.

real life is harder. If I have a cluster of 8 H200 machines running training I can't really destroy it and redeploy. Technically I can but I need to spend time with the data scientists to make sure they configured everything to continue training from checkpoints. And if this cluster is idle for a day the amount of money wasted is around my monthly salary..

hm, maybe more enterprisey clusters are used in a such a way that any node can be replaced at any time.
There is another version of this puzzle with a third goblin who flips a coin and depending on the outcome he will lie or tell the truth. The player is allowed 3 yes/no questions and the objective is to assign the three identities unambiguously.

I can post the solution in 24h. Have fun! ^^

We have two left ( Saturn V first stages ), and nine engines, and the engines are absolutely unique. Many scientists say that they cannot be reproduced.

"Reproducing the Saturn V rocket engines, specifically the F-1 engines used on the first stage, is a highly complex task due to their immense size, powerful thrust, and intricate design, requiring advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities to accurately replicate the combustion chamber, fuel injectors, nozzle, and other critical components, making it a significant undertaking even for modern aerospace companies; essentially, recreating them would involve detailed reverse engineering of the original designs, access to specialized materials and manufacturing techniques, and extensive testing to ensure proper functionality and safety. "

In the past 6 months about 50%. That's my n=1, I have another colleague who may just have been unlucky - their number is 100%. This is all on-sites, I barely get phone screens anymore.
The first thing is to check if a social network already exists that meets your needs such as a closed group using Telegram.

The question isn't the default but rather the ability to opt out. And no, "drop XML on your ISO image" is not an acceptable bar for that.

But, more importantly, it's not a given that this will continue working onwards. As things are, there have already been three different ways to force the installer into letting you use a local account, the most recent one of which involved using the recovery terminal when booted from ISO - that's already way past most users. And yet Microsoft methodically killed each and every method every time, so I fully expect your suggested workaround to stop working. They seem to be very determined to ensure that no "non-enterprise" version of Windows lets people do that.
I wouldn't say 4chan's smarter than other social media. I'd say "stupid people not pretending".
Seconding this and offering an honest testimonial as a huge fan of JJ and Rootly’s team.

I championed and led the introduction of Rootly’s incident management product at two tech companies and counting. Rootly scales well - the Slack bot replaced chains of comms we used to have humans to handle. It’s reliable. And the attention to detail in their product feels like a love letter to SRE.

Rootly has the product chops to make a top notch incident management product. The domain modeling they’ve done for Rootly Oncall is solid - it feels like a superset of PagerDuty and Opsgenie.

Anyone moving off Opsgenie would benefit from a close look at it.

Looks like SpaceX is now 0 for 2 on Starship getting to orbit(-ish).

Edit: The 0 for 2 is on Starship Block 2.
Take that with some skepticism.. everyone can handle the complexity that they wrote yeaterday. Of those, many will want to avoid extra work on behalf of others or their future selves..
The style... the right stuff, the get it done, so many inspiring challenges, and tragic accidents. Amazing. I went to Kennedy, and spent the whole time looking up, except when I was on the bus, and the bus driver was mentioning my hat which said "Radius Rocket" on it.
People have been saying this for decades, and it's little closer to coming true. Who's saying it this year?

> The CFA Institute surveyed more than 4,000 global financial professionals... close to two-thirds expect that the dollar will lose its leading reserve-currency status in the next five- to 15 years.

Investment advisors are saying it this year.

Meanwhile, the hard numbers say that USD went from 71% of global reserves in 2000 to 58% in 2022. That's about -0.5%/year. What should we expect it to be in 5 years? 55%. 15 years? 51%.

no doubt... woman's marches were decent too back in '17... I think BLM-style protest can still prop up to protest things like police brutality etc but generally I think US public has been tamed, especially over the past decade. even our veterans, who fought for the freedoms and constitution and whatnot are sitting quietly while VA is being gutted and while they are losing jobs by the thousands (many vets went into public sector and became govies after their service)... and veterans are sitting put and letting all this shit happen you know where we are as a country...
Can the submitter, or anyone else, please explain what this is?

There is zero information on the submitted page besides what's in the title, and this is a six-year-old GitHub repository with no activity in years.

What are we looking at? What is the significance of this repo? Did it invent this idea? Does it have any practical uses? Is there any broader context at all?

Exactly the same experience. My AP Physics teacher in high school was incredibly better than university.

UT is research focused. Depending on the department, they make the professors teach classes, which is often not aligned with their interests at all. Sometimes I think they are actively trying for bad reviews from students to incentivize the university from making them take on course load.
The high end Intel Macs supported over a TB of RAM, over 5 years ago. It's kinda crazy Apple's own high end chips didn't support more RAM. Also, the LLM use case isn't new... Though DeepSeek itself may be. RAM requirements always go up.

Your concern is that there will be... too few CAs?
I listened to Magnus and I took that quite differently.

I took that he said that others have caught up and he is just not motivated to do the type of studying to improve even further at this point.

There is a process we don't really have a name for that was best summed up by the boxer Marvin Hagler:

“It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5am when you've been sleeping in silk pajamas”

The demotivation of success. Of course, that is also going to correlate with age and be very hard to disentangle. At the same time testosterone levels will be past peak, adding another variable in the mix. Plus actual mental acuity past peak.

In other words, as someone pushing 50. Getting old kind of sucks systemically.
Wish there was a sober source of discussion around this, alas we're bombarded with "AGI is here" articles from the NYT and "it's so over for programmers" 24/7.
> Are you arguing that countries should be wary of relying on US manufacturing?

How could it be otherwise?

In international trade, what you want is a partner who lets both of you ground through comparative advantage. They make what they are good at, you make what you are good at, goods made in both countries get cheaper and so you both get stronger.

The USA has in the blink of an eye gone a champion of free trade to a tariffed island. If the USA starts dumping and you protect your local industries with tariffs, the USA will retaliate with more tariffs. The trust needed for comparative advantage to work has gone.

The only sane response to this is to walk away from the USA as a trade partner. The only reason you wouldn't do that is you think it might be a passing phase, or you're in the denial stage of grief.

It's been less than 100 days so not much has changed yet. But as you can see from this thread, people are looking around, assessing their options. Maybe Canada investing in shipping so it can trade products with Europe or India makes more sense now. Both need the raw materials Canada produces. That will mean less trade are done in the US dollar, and it's unlikely it will remain as stable as it has been for instance (it's already bouncing around a lot), so maybe it makes sense to denominate everything is another currency. Euro's perhaps?

If you think that's unlikely consider this: a long while ago Australia's major trading partners was the UK. Then the UK joined the EU, and now it does far most of it's business in the Asia pacific. These transitions do happen when they make economic sense.
Aren’t they 2 for 4?
Interesting if Lynx uses host OS widgets like RN does or renders stuff itself like Flutter.
As an application grows the features start to interact. We tend to not be paying much attention to how the old code 'fits into memory' while we are writing new code that also has to fit into memory.

Once you have an entire system written the benefits of having four interacting features that each fit into a third of memory may be bigger than you think. And I don't know how well Intel's hardware level profiling information reveals that but I know for sure that the profiling tools that ship with most commercially viable programming languages never do. They blame issues on whoever touched the system last, and if that is an epicycle or a metastable situation then the apparent guilty party may be a frame-up, while the real culprit goes unpunished.

As an example: if your workflow has a step that eventually needs to use 40% of available memory to solve a problem, then GC will almost always trigger within that step of the process, rather than in the other 60% of memory being systematically wasted by heaps of inefficient code in the leadup to this step, because the top of the memory sawtooth will almost always occur within that part of the call graph. But because the 40% is your intrinsic complexity, people's brains shut off the moment a cost is attributed to unavoidable work, instead of the avoidable work that really caused the majority of the problem.
I'm not convinced yet that it's such a company.
The insider threat: North Korean IT workers
I will say on reddit people have been so fantastically imaginative and creative with their "predictions" it's become completely intolerable, and I've left the site.

The Trump admin seems to be going after waste and political government spending. DEI went under attack, and they've gone after fraud and other forms of abuse through USAID and government organizations. I'm sure they'll go after engineering research funding due to DoD cuts, and hopefully high F&A costs, but I would expect the majority of engineering research will remain intact. I try to be realistic in my understanding of what's happening, not imaginative.
> Anything that could be automated but isn’t automated is because it isn’t cost effective to do so or there is insufficient capital to invest.

Is there any evidence to back up this wildly huge assertion?

Detach mentally from your job. Do the bare minimum. On the days you work from home, take a 20-30 minute nap at lunchtime.

I advise working on your own business over the weekends, at least a little bit, on something new that the world needs.

Don't consider yourself damaged. Ensure your lifestyle is clean. This means:

1. No smoking or alcohol.

2. Breathe clean air. Use air purifiers.

3. Eat well, including Organic fruits, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains. No sugar.

4. Exercise as often as possible, cardio too.

5. Take all optimal vitamins and mineral supplements.

6. Don't mix food or drink, especially if hot or acidic, with plastic or polystyrene containers.

Fire your therapist. They're not fixing anything for you.
i’ve been hearing some version of this my whole life, and i’m old. Normally, I’d say, whatevs, but now we have a regime that seems to be doing its best to wreck every functional thing as fast as possible. Deliberately weakening the economy, tax cuts for the rich, and isolating us from our allies to favor adversaries.
> didn't get anywhere at all

I know, it was a bit soul destroying. In my experience, the thing to do was not to try too hard (a bit of Zen here, perhaps). I remember being dropped at a roundabout outside Doncaster UK where there were already a couple of other guys, which is usually the kiss of death for all concerned. So I went up the road's embankment, laid down and slept for an hour or so - it was a sunny day. When I woke the other guys had got lifts and I stuck out my thumb and got one too.

The thing about hitching is that you want a little money in your pocket so that if you really do get stuck somewhere you can maybe get a bus to somewhere better, and you don't feel too powerless and miserable. Also, hitch with a pretty woman - me and my ex-wife hitched Edinburgh-Yorkshire-Wales and back, doing camping. The last bit back to Edinburgh was in a Rolls Royce!

I dont like Telegram, so far I have been testing Lemmy and we have like an instance or something working here: https://canzuck.zone/ to experiment with. Telegram kind of scares me I dont like what it has become. I use Discord nowadays, and if Discord made their chats or some of their communities visible online on Google, they would give other social networks a run for their money imho. For instance the 3d printing community on Discord is very nice when I need help with my 3d printing it would be great if they were on Google, but with all the LLM and scraping stuff going on I can see why they might not want to do that even if they had plans before.
That is def one way to evaluate velocity.
Yeah this is a surprisingly little known fact- all certs being logged means all subdomain names get logged.

Wildcard certs can hide the subdomains, but then your cert works on all subdomains. This could be an issue if the certs get compromised.

Usually there isn’t sensitive information in subdomain names, but i suspect it often accidentally leaks information about infrastructure setups. "vaultwarden.example.com" existing tells you someone is probably running a vaultwarden instance, even if it’s not publicly accessible.

The same kind of info can leak via dns records too, I think?
You can set up a Mastodon instance, choose your method to filter who can register and choose whether it will federate with other instances.
> The Appointments Clause of the constitution says that Officers of the United States must be appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Wasn't that the legal genius in how Trump structured it? DOGE is a re-branded USDS (United States Digital Service).

Given that USDS is not a federal agency, that clause of the Constitution would not apply.

That also would assume that Musk is the administrator of DOGE, which he is not. It's Amy Gleason, and she, just like every administrator of the USDS going back to Obama, was not confirmed.
Your points are well-taken, but I think that contracts are a small enough, and well represented enough in the corpus, to actually be pretty solid. This is especially true with good prompting and some sort of feedback loop.

I got my FW 13 late Sept 2022 when pre-orders were available in Australia. I needed it for work.

Look the modularity and repairability is nice, and I like how it addresses e-waste. However regarding modularity, I would rather have more fixed ports than a choice of changeable ones.

My biggest gripe is battery life, in Linux I can only seem to get 4 hours of usage and that's if I'm lucky. More like 2.5 to 3 hours, and that's usually minimal usage.

My second biggest gripe is the hinges in the laptop. WHen I pick up the laptop with the screen erect at the 90 degree position, it usually falls flat 180 degrees. How this even got past QA annoys me, and the fix is to buy a new hinge kit, but that costs $30 AUD plus $40 AUD shipping, so basically a ripoff.

The keyboard is actually quite decent, but I would've preferred Macbook layout with the fn on the left and half-size inverted T arrow keys. I was hoping a 3rd party would make the keyboard, but the reality is not many 3rd parties are making FW stuff.

The modular ports can be erratic when powering on the laptop, sometimes a usb port doesn't register and I have to eject and reinsert the modular ports, which is annoying.

The display is fine, except mine developed a thin grey line that's noticeable when the pixels aren't lit up. I take care of my laptop carefully, but I feel like this display is weaker than most. Thankfully it's not noticeable when the screen is bright. I also find the screen overly glossy that I had to buy a matte screen protector and apply it, but I believe in newer models you can get a matte display.

The webcam is fine. The speakers are trash. The mic is okay. The trackpad is okayish (for what you can get out of Linux anyways).

Just feels mediocre all around.
If you are right and Europe has so many enemies, the solution is to buy more weapons to defend against Russia and the "demonic" country that "mocks and humiliates" yours. Deal?
> Yes it’s more critical staff. And it’s more a cultural thing.

Ah yup, that 100% makes sense and I don't know why I didnt consider it. I should no more than anyone the value of more "key staff" as it were, and the impact a shock to those kind of staff can have.

> You don’t actually need as much money to survive in the UK as the US for example. So there isn’t the motivator to retain high level salaries other than luxury.

I did not know this, I am over in AU and don't know that much about the UK to be honest. I've only heard things in passing about London really and even then all ive heard is "VERY EXPENSIVE, RENT BAD" so thats super interesting.

> It would be “no thanks” and take a 30% cut to go and work somewhere else.

Yes, good for them too. I have taken (including recently) such pay cuts because I have strong opinions of where I will work, or who I will work with.

Thanks for coming back to answer my questions, I found it super informative. I didnt intend to sound aggressive in my first response so i'm glad you did!

This might be a contrarian take: the improvement against gpt-4o and gemini-1.5 flash, both of which are general purpose multi-modal models, seem to be underwhelming.

I'm sensing another bitter lesson coming, where domain optimized AI will hold a short term advantage but will be outdated quickly as the frontier model advances.
This is ridiculous, I changed like 3 words. While I did originally mention 512GB, the context (“on-chip”) made it clear I was referring to the speed, not the size.
You can't. Your best bet is to joint the fediverse so you can interoperate with existing networks, like Mastodon.

> too much moderation

> rampant bot abuse

You can't solve the bot problem without thorough, labor-intensive moderation. These two of your goals are at odds with each other.

I will also say that almost 100% of the value of reddit is the moderation. After Musk eviscerated Twitter's moderation, it became more of a cesspit and people have been leaving for better-moderated networks.

> I want to make sure all political content is restricted or super duper limited

How are you going to do this without moderation?

What's your definition is political? Is discussing climate change political? What about health care?

If filtering certain topics or moderating a social network were a simple problem, bigger companies (like Meta) would've solved it without armies of human moderators.

Which also begs the question: how would you keep CSAM off your network?

Yes. It would add another potential point of failure to the process of publishing content on the Web, if such a scenario came to pass. (Of course, the best-case scenario is that we retain a healthy number of CAs who can act independently, but also maintain compliance indefinitely.)
