Well the story is about men who studied at King's college, many of whom would become powerful. If you are rich and powerful the relationship can change from one of suspicion to one of deference.

The tldr of the article is basically that Turing had been brought up among powerful men for whom things are permitted that are out of reach to the commoners. The mistake he made was to assume everyone else was treated the same.

We first launched it as "Crunchy Bridge for Analytics" in April last year. At the time, it could mostly query/import/export Parquet/CSV/JSON. Our goal was to build a data warehouse, but getting early feedback was helpful and we did not want to misrepresent the offering.

In November last year we added Iceberg support and managed storage, so it became a full data warehouse experience with writes and transactions and we renamed it to Crunchy Data Warehouse.
That’s all absolutely true, but I have found that wildcard DNS zones with wildcard certificates tend to get zero un-solicited traffic as long as the client devices are not browsers.

I.e.: if the host is listening only to some specific host header but registered with a wildcard prefix, then drive-by attackers have no trivial way to guess the prefix.

I would never rely on this for security, but it does help cut down on the “spam” in the request logs so that I can focus on the real errors.

This works best for API endpoints not used by browsers or embedded into web pages.

It’s also my current preferred setup for Internet-facing non-production sites. Otherwise they get so much attack traffic that the real log entries might be less than 0.1% of the total.
If you have ConfigMap, you have Kubernetes so Ingress is solved for you. ;)

> Configuring Kestrel programmatically is really straightforward too

Sure, but Developers tend to not want to futz with it. My use case is our application lives in a container, most of time we host it but occasionally a customer demands they host it so we give them the container. Some host it on Windows (we do build a Windows container of our application :vomit:) and some on Linux. In any case, we require them to use reverse proxy because HTTPS with Kestrel was becoming too high of support so we require they provide HTTPS proxy. We recommend IIS ARR for Windows users, and CaddyServer for Linux but Linux users tend to not need our advice.

EDIT: Our hosting platform is Azure Kubernetes Service, 100% Linux Nodes.

I was in a school team where we had to create documents describing a new curriculum. One of the members thought creating these docs using a LLM was a very easy and productive way of doing it. But it absolutely wasn't. It looked alright at the start, but on closer inspection it was just a load of BS. We had to change literally every single sentence to let the text make sense. I also was in a team that created tools we could use for our students. Again one of the members used a LLM to create certain tools. At first glance they worked alright, until some change was needed. Refactoring wasn't possible - a total rewrite was the only thing that helped. I don't think LLM boosts productivity. At best it boosts the appearance of productivity of one person, and then the others have to clean up after her.

If it's not such a far away conflict then why isn't Putin looking for a way to stop? If anything the war shows how little Putin cares about his own people, even those close around him and how willing he is to spend their lives to burnish his legacy. In that case why would you think that any backing down on Ukraine leads to anything other than him or his successors wanting to swallow more?

Personally I don't see any real chance of nuclear escalation over Ukraine on both sides. The war needs to end but to do that Putin needs to be given a way to deescalate and claim a win at home. But that can only be allowed to happen if Ukraine is made safe and secure once again and if Putin is willing to swallow that. And I see no evidence of that being true.

Unlikely as Canada ultimately depends on the US as a security provider, but yes, like Vietnam, it makes sense to trade with both sides. It's also why the US doesn't like it.

China's tax on rapeseed oil is like Canadian tax on EV, as China imports very little from from Canada due to prior trade frictions. But its rapeseed imports almost exclusively depend on Canada.
This is good research, but a bad headline. As an attack vector, this requires physical access and could already be done by other means in almost all cases. So, “undocumented commands found in common Bluetooth chip” would be a better headline.
Monopolies are at their worst when they use their position to make a power play over a market (such as browsers) that isn't very profitable on it's own but can be used as a loss leader in a wider monopolistic scheme.

This is when antitrust is needed most, by design. There's a bit of understanding you need to do, but not only is it not dumb, what you said about nobody wanting to buy chrome is actually part of the proof of why google needs to be broken up and why chrome is an ideal target for doing so. The browser market needs to be made competitive again.

I do too, but I still believe there is a bubble. Reason is that I can do most of my work with self-hosted models so there’s little need to pay for a subscription. Sure, I’m a minority for now because I’m tech savvy, but with that in mind it’s hard to justify the valuations of most AI companies. We don’t know if they’re keep accumulating users and most LLMs seem to have hit a plateau of performance.

How long is Firefox going to be held to a standard that none of the other vendors are realistically held to?

They change their ToS in an unfavorable way and yes I think it’s criticism they need to hear.

However, has Chrome, Brave (I don’t look favorably on their cryptocurrency initiatives) Edge , Safari etc. been held to the same, in practice? Why isn’t Chrome barraged with negative sentiment the same way? It has far worse ToS policies (which doesn’t make Firefox “right” or “just”)

Because if that is upsetting then using Chrome should be outright enraging, yet people hardly mention it’s consistent anti user behavior as often as people jump on Mozilla and a Firefox for anything they do that is seen as unfavorable

My best guess, and I've thought about this a lot, is that chronic illness drives billions of dollars of direct economic activity.

Of course, illness has an even larger cost to society and to overall happiness, but that's much less measurable, and therefore has less effect on public policy.
> I'm in Europe. I'm busy disengaging from US based services.

It's worth pointing out that you're going to struggle with this, and it's because (as all software engineers know) Europe has never supported a strong tech/software developer friendly culture. To be clear: I am not saying there are not fantastic devs in Europe (in fact, most of the devs I respect the most are European), but the EU has always struggled to pay competitively and grow its local software community. In fact, all the amazing software engineers I know in Europe.. work for US companies, making US software products (and making US total comp).

Here's a quote of Alan Kay talking about this is in 1997

> [Dijkstra] once wrote a paper—of the kind that he liked to write a lot of—which had the title On the fact that the Atlantic has two sides. It was basically all about how different the approaches to computing science were in Europe, especially in Holland and in the United States. In the US, here, we were not mathematical enough, and gee, in Holland, if you're a full professor, you're actually appointed by the Queen, and there are many other uh important distinctions made between the two cultures. So, uhm, I wrote a rebuttal paper, just called On the fact that most of the software in the world is written on one side of the Atlantic.

The time to address this, unfortunately for Europe, is not today, but 30-40 years ago.
Absolutely correct. You can also use tools everywhere while clients have to be MCP compatible.

MCP is not all it's cracked up to be.

I got really into short sf fiction, reading years best collections and then seeing they were all from analog ect started reading them.

The collections were better, just more filtered, but the history of these pulp magazines is amazing.
It's much simpler: MCP allows tools to be added at runtime instead of design-time. That's it. And because this can happen at runtime, the user (NOT the developer) can add arbitrary functionality to the LLM application (while the application is running — hence, runtime). One could make the argument that LLM applications with MCP support are conceptually similar to browsers — both let users connect to arbitrary MCP/HTTP servers at runtime.

But the comparison with HTTP is not a very good one, because MCP is stateful and complex. MCP is actually much more similar to FTP than it is to HTTP.

Hi Chris - this is not a dupe in HN's sense of the word. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43303443 and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

On HN a repost counts as a dupe when a story has had significant attention in the last year or so. But if a story hasn't had significant attention yet, reposts are ok.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43292977 certainly didn't get significant attention, so the current submission was fine, and certainly not a [dupe].

To me normalization seems preferable over just skipping the text in all situations including math, and it's trivial to do, so I think makes for a sensible default. Certainly they could then start adding special cases, reading out symbols intended for mathematical use like T-H-I-S (though, mathematical expressions often still have words).

I'm not sure about "five unsupported characters omitted". Would probably need feedback from someone who actually uses a screen reader to be sure, but I feel that's less useful than normalization. Maybe a tone/voice alteration to indicate this? (playing with narrator, it does already change voice for control information)

You don't understand how laws work at an extremely basic level. If someone is operating in Canada as unlicensed hairdresser, they should not have to get a haircutting licence for NY (or whatever US state has the mad US regulations) if they cut the hair of someone from NY in Canada.

This attempt to apply national laws globally is an essential part of why the foreign policy of Western nations has been so bad. America First is an essential component of this as well, it is all the same thing.

No, I don't veer off. As I explain, the issue is that people complain very specifically about campaign finance as a problem in itself and ignore the issues with elected prosecutors and politically-appointed judges which is also very unique to the US, and causes the same outcomes as campaign finance. I helpfully explained for you in my original comment that when people are unable to see the connection between these things, it is because they have their own political motivation.

There is a defence for SBF, it is very easy: he did something that usually isn't prosecuted, the usual action would be a careful wind down that wouldn't destroy value (for the reasons here, billions of dollars was wasted because of the political context...again, people are very clear about SBF stealing money but only lawyers and consultants got FTX money), and a 30-year sentence makes absolutely no sense.

I have no idea why you are saying lawyers defend them...lawyers brought this case, there are tens of lawyers who deposited millions into their bank account last year from this case, the problem is lawyers (specifically: politically-motivated prosecutors, politically-motivated regulators, and a bankruptcy system that is designed to maximise fee income for lawyers). You are the one saying that the income of lawyers need protection.
Oh I see so we’re just interpreting what he says ridiculously again. I figured after this many years we would be past that.

Isn't a screen reader's job to audibly convey information on the screen as it would be interpreted by a sighted person?

The original intent of the characters as mathematical symbols is obviously irrelevant in the examples. No person reading the posts with their eyes is thinking "oh hmm I wonder what is the mathematical meaning behind this bolded character".

This seems like an example of a technical implementation that misses the point of the value that needs to be delivered to humans using the system.

1) Ok, so you are reinventing SOAP or WSDL or whatever... did that ever go well? How and why is this different from every prior attempt to create the one true API layer?

2) Is this meaningfully different from just having every API provide a JavaScript SDK to access it, and then having the model write code? That's how humans solve this stuff.

3) If the AI is actually as smart at doing tasks like writing clients for APIs as people like to claim, why does it need this to be made machine readable in the first place?

> The safety and needs of a prisoner are not the only concerns.

The only ethical stance I've ever heard for torturing someone is the "ticking time bomb" scenario popularized during George W. Bush's administration. (I disagree with that ethical stance, but that's beside the point.)

In your scenario the bomb isn't ticking. Nor is there even a bomb-- only a breach of security with an undefined relationship to safety and needs of people who aren't in any immediate danger.

Read the Senate Report on Torture for an in-depth analysis of the problems with that ethical stance.

I believe that the issue is that the culture about Redis usage didn't evolve as much as its popularity. To use it memcached alike has many legitimate use cases but it's a very reductive way to use it. For instance sorted set ranking is something that totally changes the dynamics of what you can and can't do with traditional databases. Similarly large bitmaps that allow to retain very fast real time one bit information to do analytics otherwise very hard to do is another example. Basically, Redis helps a lot more as the company culture around it increases, more patterns are learned, and so forth. But in this regard a failure on the Redis (and my) side is that there isn't a patterns collection book: interviewing folks that handled important use cases (think at Twitter) to understand the wins and the exact usage details and data structure usages. Even just learning the writable cache pattern totally changes the dynamics of your Redis experience.

> Personally, I don't think it's a big risk for educational/DIY topics because your brain gets saturated with "too much information" and hits a stopping point where you don't want to learn any more.

This may also be an artifact of the fact that you are the sort of person who seeks out educational content. I.e. you have a high need for intellectual stimulation. That makes you an outlier among all people who use social media.

Personally I think technical people underestimate the negative impacts of the models that drive the algorithms. We are basically training humans via a reward function that maximizes watch time. We are also heavily correlating errors in knowledge because popular stuff gets boosted so much. Correlated errors are bad for rubustness.
