Never seen the HN version of the 'install gentoo' meme before, more sophisticated definitely.

> The goal of Gentoo is to have an operating system that builds all programs from source, instead of having pre-built binary packages. While this does allow for advanced speed and customizability, it means that even the most basic components such as the kernel must be compiled from source. It is known through out the Linux community as being a very complex operating system because of its daunting install process. The default Gentoo install boots straight to a command prompt, from which the user must manually partition the disk, download a package known as a "Stage 3 tarball", extract it, and build the system up by manually installing packages. New or inexperienced users will often not know what to do when they boot in to the installer to find there is no graphical display. Members of /g/ will often exaggerate the values of Gentoo, trying to trick new users in to attempting to install it.
Didn't know about Tildes, seems interesting.
They were scheduled to stay there for 8 days and had Boeing's vessel proven flight worthy, they would have returned after 8 days. The messaging beyond that was just political in nature. They could have been rescued, but were left on the station until after the election. The situation resulted in significant issues for the next crewing [1] leading to some interesting things like the first time a Russian cosmonaut was in control of an American spacecraft, let alone a rookie cosmonaut with only basic training on the Dragon.

It also led to some interesting improvisations. NASA has a requirement that there be a 'lifeboat' on the ISS for all crew in case of an emergency, but because of the Boeing crew (and the lack of a corresponding vessel), NASA approved a new 'configuration' of the Dragon where up to 3 people could strap themselves to the floor of it, where cargo would normally go, in case of the need of a mass escape from the ISS. [2]

As another fun aside, when the Starliner was returning [autonomously] to Earth it experienced two more errors, unrelated to the ones that left the astronauts stranded on the ISS in the first place. What a vessel.

ActivityPods implements ActivityPub vocabulary while using SOLID data stores. You get your identity and data, you can interact with other ActivityPub software and you do not need to rely or set up any centralized indexer.

There is no "goodwill". Bluesky's plan (from day one!) has been to create something that could have been used by Twitter to keep them as the gatekeeper of the data while removing them from any liability for custody. They know that their moat is on their expensive indexer and they will not take any measure that gives this power to end users.
oh I don't know, grueling rehab and moderate health consequences in exchange for getting to spend nine months in space seems like it'd be a deal many would take.
From the Enterprise Perspektive at least for my use cases(fine grained permissions using extra id) , elasticsearch with kibana always had a solution available.

For grafana cloud and Loki you can close to a good usability with LBAC (label based access control) but you still need have many data sources to map onto each “team view” to make it user friendly.

What is missing for me is like in elastic a single datasource for all logs which every team member across all teams can see and you scope out the visibility level with LBAC

It's not a contradiction; "just something" is not the same thing as "their job". "I need everyone to do their job" does not contradict "I don't need everyone to just do something." (Emphasis added for clarity about the differences.)
Cyber warfare and cyber defense cannot be measured in money easily.

Take a look at other Unit 8200 startups, or even Palantir. Palantir is much much much more worth than what they are on paper, especially with their Lavender AI involvements.

Cyber strategies have become so critical that it's a race between nations right now. The leading ones being Russia, Iran, China, North Korea and the US (while the US is heavily losing control, just in terms of malware and campaigns). Stuxnet forced the hands of the other nations, and they invested fully in Cyber eversince.
Here's a few more definitions of agents:

Agents are a coupling of perception, reasoning, and acting with preferences or goals. They prefer some states of the world to other states, and they act to try to achieve the states they prefer most (this book)

AI agents are rational agents. They make rational decisions based on their perceptions and data to produce optimal performance and results. An AI agent senses its environment with physical or software interfaces (AWS)

An artificial intelligence (AI) agent refers to a system or program that is capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system by designing its workflow and utilizing available tools (IBM)

Agents are like layers on top of the language models that observe and collect information, provide input to the model and together generate an action plan and communicate that to the user — or even act on their own, if permitted (Microsoft)

Assumptions:

Focus on rationality vs. goal-seeking vs. autonomy

Whether tool use is emphasized

Architectural specificity

Relationship to users

Decision-making framework (optimality vs. preference satisfaction)

What do you mean when you say that Reddit is too mainstream for you?

> But there's a vast difference in attack surface between that, and "just give us a string, don't worry we'll sanitize it on our end."

If you have a type system that distinguishes between sanitized and unsanitized strings then it's not a very big difference in attack surface.

The main difference between the two methods is the risk that you can forget to sanitize. But that's not what happened here, so calling them dumb for having that risk is not a useful way to analyze the problem.

Parameters are not an extra layer of defense. For anything other than forgetting to sanitize, parameters are a sidegrade, not defense in depth.

A lot of people on HN whine “oh I’m not picking a side” and “I just want to get on with my life” and “I’m an island what others do doesn’t affect me” and other nonsense.

Sadly the damage these people are causing by their implicit support for the end of the modern world won’t fix the problem when America realises it’s making itself poorer, history shows countries double down.
They had a way back home if they needed to. They just didn't have a ride up for their replacements for a few months, so they asked them to stay longer to keep the ISS mission going.

Becoming a NASA astronaut is extremely hard. You have to check a ridiculous number of boxes, and you have to really want it. I think anyone who goes through this process would prefer a 6 month stay on the space station over a 2 week stay on the space station, and the 6 month stay is what they got.

NASA kept them safe and fed, I really don't think you can reasonably knock them from this perspective.

I am really not sure where agents would ever be better than workflows. Can you give me some examples?

Workflows means some organization signed off on what has to be done. Checklists, best practices, etc.

Agents on the other hand have a goal and you have no idea or what they’re going to do to achieve it. I think of an agent’s guardrails as essentially a “blacklist” of actions, while a workflow is a “whitelist”.

To me, agents are a gimmick the same way that real-time chat, or video, is a gimmick. It is good for entertainment but actually has negative value for getting actual work done.

Think of it this way… just as models have a tradeoff between explore and exploit, the agents can be considered as capable of exploration while the workflows exploit best practices. Over time and many tasks, everything is standardized into best practices, so the agents become worse than completely standardized workflows. They may be useful to tinker at the edges but not to make huge decisions. Like maybe agents can be used to set up some personalized hooks for users at the edges of some complex system.

The are both transflective (for sunlight readability) memory-in-pixel (for power efficiency) LCDs. The black & white one is the same display as was used in the Pebble 2, and the color one is most likely the display which was planned to be used in the Pebble Time 2 (mostly comparable to the Pebble Time display but larger).

I agree that a true electrophoretic display is a lot nicer to look at; unfortunately the refresh rate leaves a lot to be desired in a highly interactive watch. Hopefully someday we get a technology with the best of both worlds.

It depends on how you define success; the EU has certainly managed to achieve a great deal of standardization and compliance, at the cost of rate of progress and business model innovation. You might think this is a worthwhile trade off, but people differ in their priorities.

It's not mixed messaging if you understand the position the astronauts are in. Modern NASA has become deeply intertwined with politics. Many of the things they do are awful ideas and/or will never come to fruition. For instance Artemis is never going anywhere. Any person reasonably well informed in space, including every single astronaut, could offer countless reasons why. But in public they're required to smile, nod, and cheer its inevitable success on. If they don't - they're never going to fly again.

So astronauts will answer direct factual questions truthfully - but their opinions are not going to be given in earnest, but rather 100% political.

And there was no prepared backup for Starliner. That launch had been delayed for years and by the time it actually got off the ground (which never should have been allowed), it was probably as much a shock to NASA (and Boeing) as to everybody else. The final plan was only decided long after the fact, and caused major issues.
There has to be someone on the ISS at all times - unless you want to abandon and decommission it, that is, but nobody (except Elon Musk) is suggesting to do that at this point in time...
I (straight guy) unfortunately agree.

I hope he runs, at the very least to keep LGBT people visible in all types of politics, but doesn't get past the primary. As much as I hate hate hate hate this, the Democratic party needs to find a charismatic straight white man, preferably one who has served in the military, probably in his late 40s or 50s. Not someone boring (hence the "charismatic" bit), but someone who "fits the mold", has clear policy proposals on things that average voters actually care about, and doesn't present as radical or "different" in any way.

This unfortunately means someone who won't push social/racial justice issues too hard (alienates white/religious/older people), won't be too science-focused (alienates voters without college degrees) and who will mainly focus on the economy and health care (what people actually claim to care about when making voting decisions), and at least make the right kinds of noises about crime and immigration (even though their impact on those things is somewhat limited as president).

Maybe someone like Mark Kelly would fit the bill, I dunno.

Thank you for starting this subthread, and writing clearly about this. I too find it resonates strongly with my situation.

> in some sessions, I felt ancient grief/pain bubbling up in ways that were overwhelming, but always felt way better afterwards.

For me, the major reason I might have excessively compartmentalized things[0] was that whenever I let myself feel the grief/pain/uncertainty - and early on, I was trying to process them instead of avoiding them - it would be overwhelming, excruciating, and never made anything better. After a year or two of what felt like inexhaustible supply of the same painful emotions, of nothing really changing or looking like it was about to, I finally took the opposite course, and ended up more-less where you and 'munificent are.

Took almost a decade to get to that point, and it's what you and others describe in this subthread. Some kind of emotional detachment. The emotions are there, but mostly weak, and most of the time I feel like I'm just observing them, and occasionally fighting them when they get too strong, too close to me. "Severed connection" seems like a very good analogy. I'm still afraid of revisiting the past, because I can't afford becoming non-functional for a year or two, like it happened the first time around. There's this part of me, that source of motivation, somewhere - but it feels like it's on life support, in a coma, waking up every other year for a few moments.

Meanwhile, when someone asks me what I like, or what I'd like to do, I draw a blank. It's not anhedonia, but something else - something that shuts down my brain whenever this question gets asked (or I ask it myself).

[0] - And developed what I feel is like instinctive fight-or-flight response around negative emotions: solve the problem or run away, but get rid of the emotion and do it NOW NOW NOW!
I really don't think any of that matters. "He can pass for straight" is not going to sway much of anyone who is uncomfortable with the idea of a gay president. Sure, some voters would be more comfortable with Buttigieg than with, say, a flamboyantly gay man, but overall I don't see the electorate going for him.
> “Look what you made me do” is what you’re saying, but Israel could stop attacking Gaza today and not suffer a single material attack from Gaza for a long time.

No, "Look at what you made the Arabs do" is what Westerners say to Jews to excuse kidnapping and murdering babies and elderly. Nobody here says that. Gaza could have stopped attacking Israel any time between 2005 and October 6, 2023 and not suffered a single attack from Israel. And from October 7, 2023 they could have returned our children and our parents and our sisters, and the war would have ended immediately.

> Way, way more Palestinians have died since October than Jews.

So your argument is that the side with more casualties is in the right? Or that not enough Jews have died?

Where you advocating for the Jews on October 8th, while the body count from the current conflict was still more Jews than Arabs?

> Israel has no need to keep on its current course. It has made its point and is now making a completely different point—that it is a cruel nation incapable of self restraint.

Israel has not "made its point" because the hostages are not yet home. Israel is cruel? The Gazans freely sacrifice their own children _and_ our children in the name of a religious war, and we're the cruel side? I believe that you know very little of Gazan or Muslim culture, and probably less of Israeli or Jewish culture.

> Nobody can force you to self reflect. Nobody can spare you the consequences if you refuse.

Reflect on what? Wanting our children back home? What consequences do you think could possibly be worse than having our children captive?
