Surely you can understand that when certain behaviours or phrases become fashionable, they can become detached from the culture that generated them.
I've been writing code since before GUIs existed. Last year, many, probably most experienced programmers were skeptical about using LLMs to help write code. This year, there are vanishingly few who don't use an LLM every day. Words are easiest for LLMs so programming changed first. Images, audio and 3D are next. It really isn't a question whether the change is coming, it is just a matter of time. And, change is coming faster and faster. It isn't perfect, but it is getting better at an alarming rate. It is just a new interface, not a replacement. The new interface allows you to iterate in different ways to produce a result. It isn't about providing the right magic incantation and having a perfect result. Like with current tools, you iterate, taking bigger steps each time and as you learn how to better use the system.
People have voted with their wallets on YouTube that they don’t want to pay for premium, and prefer to watch ads or block them.

This is pretty much how it should be done. If the business demands more, they should have a properly manned 24x7 NOC.

You also need *ownership*. There is nothing worse than having to support somebody else's work and not being allowed (either via time or other restrictions) to do things "right" so that you're not always paged for fixable problems. Everywhere I worked where the techs had ownership (which varied from OPS people being allowed to override the backlog to fix issues or developers being given enough free reign to fix technical debt) has usually meant that oncall is barely an issue. My current gig I often forget I'm even on call at all and the main issues that do crop up are usually external.
Consider HTTP semantics. If there are cookies in the request, and those cookies change, it has to be re-requested every time. If there are no cookies, the request can remain semantically compatible, so the browser's internal caching proxy can just return the cached version.

There are other advantages: the article elaborates.
>Even things like smart lights became a stumbling block when they could not control them. The router was a virtual machine on a rack mounted server in the basement. Had to unwind a lot.

A possibly unpopular opinion is that people should think long and hard about things like smart lights so that they can have cool mood lighting or whatever. I'm needing to have a lot of electrical redone because of a kitchen fire--microwave offed itself in the middle of the night, scary--and I told my electrician "no smart stuff." Which he was totally on-board with. I honestly think it's pretty much a gimmick for most people.
There is an underlying precarity in the academy that is so deep it almost feels like a natural part of science. This is part of what makes reform so difficult. Early on, rocking the boat feels like career suicide. Later on, if you are lucky enough to become established, you are much less likely to feel like deep reform is necessary: after all, the system benefited you. And even then, the precarity doesn't go away. You still compete for grants like everyone else, and your trainees are attempting to become established. Why should they be the ones to shoulder the risk of, e.g., ignoring the glam journals and exclusively putting out preprints?

This is meant to be politically-neutral commentary: this deal doesn't happen without a Republican in office that will squash the antitrust bent that the Biden administration started.

> Because of how PostgreSQL string escaping routines handle invalid UTF-8 characters, in combination with how invalid byte sequences within the invalid UTF-8 characters are processed by psql

If you just pass it to postgres over a normal query, postgres will reject an invalid byte sequence in the query with an error, refuse to even parse the query, and thus you won't get a SQL injection. It's just that psql didn't hard-error on invalid utf-8, even though postgres did.

That's why the escape function was suitable for postgres, both the escape function and postgres's query parser assume invalid byte sequences are, you know, invalid.

> For parametrized queries, params don't go through serialization because they don't need to hit the parser, there's no "escaping" whatsoever.

You're right of course, I used imprecise language that everyone understands, and you're choosing to read critically in order to be combative.

You don't have to be so combative.
But I like hacking Apple things :3
Not the GP, but I was in a similar situation. It was a requirement to be able to get to the office if the situation required the lab to diagnose the problem.

This makes a lot of sense. I have heard from several people that we have multiple models of gravity to replace GR, for example, but we don't know which one to pick because our instruments lack the requisite energy levels. Even with the energy levels we can produce in the lab, they all agree.

This gets more difficult as we go along because any replacement of GR has to reproduce all of GR's results, demonstrate where GR is wrong - with experimental evidence, and demonstrate that its predictions get it right.

TL;DR - to your point, it's not that we don't have ideas, it's we have no means to verify them.

Musk said, on a 2023 earnings call, that he expected “the Tesla Cybertruck to sell between 250,000 and 500,000 units per year” [1]. It sold fewer than 40,000 in 2024 [2]. Tesla’s sales in 2024 weren’t 100+ P/E calibre, but they also didn’t yet reflect the sort of cratering we saw at the end of ‘24 in both Tesla sales and resale values [3].

Cybertruck flopped as a product before Tesla flopped as a brand. It’s why Tesla is throttling down their production [4].

I was pretty shocked to find out that wire-guided missiles were(/are?) a thing. This seems easier than that.
I totally have an angle, I consider our reputation to be our most important asset. There's a lot of devs and agencies out there. It's a whole lot harder to find good _and_ trustworthy ones. Being that is my angle. We got close to 100 % of our business from recommendations, and I like that. Wouldn't really want to spam strangers for finding gigs.

Of course, a lot of agencies do just that. And I've also seen more than one situation where an agency held their client hostage, not giving them access to their own code, hosting environment and what not.

Sure, it's not 100 % angle. It's also to a large degree professional ethics. But I can easily rationalise it into business value, and am probably not far off.
Yeah, I'm mostly posting this for folks who might not have access to ISO, but if you do, that is the best solution.
what drives me mad is that it's not even underrated! everyone knows, everyone has been talking (and complaning) about this for something like 15 years!

I personally know of 2 big GCP customers who, over the years, left GCP because of this and the impact it had in critical situations. This very feedback was given in both cases to people considerably high up on GCP's ladder and... nothing's ever changed.

I'm sure plenty other big migrations off GCP provided the same feedback, to no avail.

When Diane Greene first and then Thomas Kurian became Google Cloud CEOs people thought that finally, due to their previous experiences in very Enterprise-aggressive companies, they would improve massively on that front.

Did they improve the situation? a bit. Massively? bringing GCP finally on-par with anyone else (not better than anyone else, just... the same)? nope, not even close.

Show HN: I made a tiny app to take multiple photos, keep one, discard rest [video]
Hi, I am a developer. This is a small iOS app: you can continuously take a bunch of photos, pick one, click the heart to save it to the album, and the rest will be automatically discarded.

The motivation comes from my frequent sharing of food and scenery with friends, often taking a dozen photos from various angles, but only sending one out in the end, while the rest stay in my album, occupying a huge amount of storage space.

> the protestors are not named (it's a dragnet), not subjects of investigations, and are suspected of no crimes.

That could very well be true, though there's also the possibility that there are people there who are subjects of investigations. The article doesn't really say; it just mentions that it's a possible threat to civil liberties. And to be fair, it very well can be, particularly in the hands of the current administration.

That sounds about right. Different context but I once got on the good boy list at work by accident and it wasn’t fixed for about 6 month. On the first of every month I got a little corporate swag box in the mail thanking me for going “above and beyond”. Lots of cookies, blankets, coffee mugs and other trinkets.

Speculation drives innovation
Migrating Hugging Face off Git LFS and to a new storage system (Xet)
Our team recently migrated a subset of Hugging Face Hub repositories (~6% of total download traffic) from LFS to a chunk-based system called Xet. Xet uses chunk-level deduplication to send only the bytes that actually change between file versions.

This is a post about how we got to this point and what the day of/days after the initial migration looked like as we dove into every nook and cranny of the infrastructure.
Yeah exactly forcing it out of a "local minimum" is a neat way to describe it. In the middle of the conversation I drop this sometimes. Works wonders. You just have to tell it it's stuck in a loop and it will suddenly pretend (?) to be self aware.
True, I missed out what scaleway have done over the years, but after being literally burnt by OVH, and hearing that scaleway was operating in similar fashion, I gave up looking at their offering.
That's for the whole assembly, obviously. If you were designing for swaps, the BMS and other active components would remain in place and only smaller packs of cells would be swapped. That also addresses the equally specious "don't want to swap out a critical component that's half my car's value" argument.
Does anyone do that? The average developer likely would not think to do this because it is too computationally intensive to splice things into A/V streams on the fly.

A more clever developer could splice the ad into the video at an I frame, but then the ad needs to be a multiple of the number of frames that are both the I frame and follow the I frame. This also would mess with metadata on the length of the video that would need to be adjusted in advance. It is doable, but you give up flexibility and your HTTP sessions cease to be stateless. Then there is the need to handle splicing into audio and I do not know offhand if there is a cheap way of doing that at the server like you can do with video through I frame splicing.

It seems to me that they have lower server costs by doing things the current way.
Since when?

Currently, I back up all my TOTP generators in KeePass to avoid this.

Mind you, don't misread that as "you should act like a sheep" but in the opposite sense, that even if you're 100% certain others are wrong, you should still have the mental acumen to understand that probability isn't stacked in your favour.

People aren't burning their professional (or even hobby) time for years or decades working on tooling and languages that help in memory management just to help other's skill issues.

They find it an issue that needs better solutions, and that's it in C.
Respectfully, when you’re responding to someone who doesn't know what RL is, and you say “it’s this—already used in [another even lesser known acronym that includes the original]…” it doesn’t really help asker (like if you know what RLHF is then you know what RL is). I’ll admit I knew what RL was already but I don’t know what RLHF is and the comment just confuses me.

That's intentional.

They take the data and deal with the consequences later because there's none so far. I hope data poisoning see more traction as a possible countermeasure.

You would change the rules, but I think the result would largely remain the same. As a market participant with the fastest access to data from other markets, news, and similar sources, as well as low order entry latency, you would still be able to profit from information asymmetry.

Imagine that a company announces the approval of its new vaccine a few milliseconds before the periodic trade occurs. As an HFT firm, you have the technology to enter, cancel, or modify your orders before the periodic auction takes place, while less sophisticated players remain oblivious to what just happened. The same applies to price movements on venues trading the same instrument, its derivatives, or even correlated assets in different parts of the world.

On the other hand, you risk increasing price volatility (especially in cases where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers during the periodic auction) and making markets less liquid.

It's pretty clear that scaling is the winning method (although exactly how to make best use of scale is an open question), but many researchers find it repulsive.

"Winning" in the sense of "perhaps suitable to build practical applications that make a lot of money" - perhaps (even though I'd claim that whether this is true is still an open question).

On the other hand, "winning" in the sense of "getting a deeper understanding why the method works and having a model that can be analyzed deeply very well", then I would clearly say that scaling is not the winning method.

Scientific research is about truth-seeking, so many researchers are in particular interested in the second interpretation.

So to clarify: the important product that people will ultimately want is the model. Obviously you need to design an infra/UI around it but that's not the core product.

The really important distinction is between workflow (what everyone use in applied LLM right now) and actual agents. LLM agents can take their own decision, browse online, use tools, etc. without direct supervision as they are directly trained for the task. They internalize all the features of LLM orchestration.

>Nobody buys apple because of privacy they buy it because its a status symbol and stupidly easy to use.

I had a friend who used to joke "Linux is free if your time has no value" -- when I went off to college I settled on a Macbook because it had a CLI paired with actual hardware/software support.

I keep my phone as long as it gets security updates -- despite talk about price, I've found I can hold onto an Apple laptop for at least four years as long as I make sure to go heavy on the ram when I buy initially buy it.

Also I'm confused how you can jump from legit crits of Apple's closed source to indicating a preference for Android, an OS that will beam a great deal of telemetry to GOOG.

I tend to treat my phone as an inherent privacy risk and lock down my laptop -- it's my understanding that at the end of the day the LTE stack is gonna be closed even on a pine phone.
