Slightly tangential: I'm currently working on a web app that uses Firebase and I'd like to potentially open source it in the future.

Given all these recent articles where people have been finding vulnerabilities in Firebase apps, should I be careful to open source it? The data in my app isn't super sensitive (e.g., social security or bank info), but does contain PII like names, emails, passwords.
Web search is available for some but not all of their models. It is not particularly obvious from their UI which models have this feature.
I called out a grifter.
This looks really good. I'm going to take a detailed look at this for sure. Thanks!
Quite aside of the downstream effects (which are going to be a mess), I'm struck by the administration's open solicitation of constitutional crises - in this case disregarding the fact that the department's creation was mandated by Congress.
Funny, I literally just two days ago asked Claude to provide an outline of the functionality of a product, giving it the web site. It of course refused. So I downloaded the text of the site and passed that in, and got mediocre results.

The results based on giving the source URL directly were better. Still a bit generic and high-level and vague, as LLMs tend to be, but better than the text-download version a couple days ago. And of course much easier to generate!
So far they are, for citizens. The worst case I've heard of was a citizen who was held by ICE for a few hours because they didn't believe him. Which, don't get me wrong, is bad given the racist underpinnings of it, but not something that worries me in and of itself. And yeah, they've gone so far as to deport US citizens from time to time over the years, but it's not anything like systematic.

They're not refusing entry or holding citizens indefinitely for refusing to unlock their phones at the border. Maybe they will, but until it starts, what I said holds.

We're sliding away from democracy because nobody seems to genuinely care about democracy anyone. People want a dictatorship that they agree with. It's not like DOGE was something Trump was hiding.

Incidentally, you might find Sheen's "Communism and the Conscience of the West"[0] eye opening.

Wojtyła had similar things to say, which surprises people, because during the Cold War, he was seen as staunchly anti-communist - which he was - and the triumphant general responsible for toppling it, but his critiques and warnings concerning liberalism/capitalism were conveniently ignored or overlooked.

I've not anything this succinct between them before.
Akka focuses on enterprise agentic with a focus on creating certainty and solving scale problems. We have a customer, Swiggy, which is >3M inferences per second for a blended set of models, both ML and LLMs, with a p99 latency of roughly 70ms.

This level of throughput is achieved by including memory database within the agentic process and then the clustering system automatically shards and balances memory data across nodes with end user routing built in. Combined with non-blocking ML invocations with back pressure you get the balance for performance.

>In other words, it was written with no consideration for performance at all.

This is a bold assumption to make on such little data other than "your opinion".

Developing in python is not a negative, and depending on the people, the scope of the product and the intended use is completely acceptable. The balance of "it performs what its needed to do in an acceptable window of performance while providing x,y,z benefits" is almost a certain discussion the company and its developers have had.

What it never tried to solve was scaling to LLM and crawler abuse. Claiming that they have made no performance considerations because they can't scale to handle a use case they never supported is just idiotic.

>That's the actual problem, LLMs are seemingly just adding a bit of load that is exposing the extremely amateurish design of their software.

"Just adding a bit of load" != 75%+ of calls. You can't be discussing this in good faith and make simplistic reductions like this. Either you are trolling or naively blaming the victims without any rational thought or knowledge.

Is it legal for a company to share their block list with another company? Could a startup legally share their block list with an investor? If one HR system is used by multiple companies with a common parent holding company, could a hiring block be applied across portfolio companies? Could background screening companies get access to hiring block lists for reputation scoring and candidate ranking? If shared public LLMs are used to screen candidates, could block list data leak between companies?
> They very much are in the same space.

I would place the Asus a peg above the Framework in both CPU and GPU. It also has a bit higher memory bandwidth. All in all, it's pretty close, but what really sets it apart from anything else that size is the network connectivity: one 10Gbe port and a pair of X7 connectors intended for clustering.

> Apple shipping 6x TB5 ports on the new M3 Ultra is a beautiful example of what life should be like.

AMD is well positioned to build specialized products if this niche proves profitable. I can easily imagine them making cut down versions of their MI300A with varying numbers of CPU and GPU tiles.

What I dislike about this is the size. They could make it a bit larger, which would, unavoidably, make it quieter as well.
if you’re lucky enough to have a shake shack with a drive through - most don’t - they don’t ask for a tip and your order is delivered more quickly and you don’t have to use a tablet.

ours has a drive thru so we regularly drive thru and bring the food inside and eat it.
We run a process on images to try and work out what's what (inside, outside, building, garden etc). Flat with common areas can be quite challenging. Glad you saw a cool escalator, even if we didn't intend to show that to you
They do, they just don’t offer it.
EDIT: For the record, I'm grateful Ory is open source and wish you all the success in the world. My comments below are specifically for the indiehosting case.

For indiehosting, my threat model is "what are my options if the team behind this software takes it in a direction I don't like?"

For some projects (Redis, Terraform), the answer is that a high quality fork pops up (Valkey, OpenTofu). For others (MongoDB), there's still not a FLOSS alternative included in major package managers.

But even if a fork does appear, they are relatively likely to eventually fall prey to the same incentives that impacted the original.

I try to cut this off at the root, and prefer software I would be confident forking myself. All of the options marked "simple" on my list fall under that category.

Sometimes you can't avoid complicated software, but you often can. For an indiehosted identity server, 5,000-10,000 lines of code provides pretty much all the features I need. I don't think the extra ~100,000-900,000k lines of code of the major players is worth the risk.
Just noticed I missed the 8x in the LHS, but the total is correct:

> they will have to comply

This is assuming, of course, that literally anyone in power will lift a finger to care. I think this is extremely unlikely.

In any case, if this can be called defamatory, so can most chatbots of the last eighty years. It's not a terribly difficult or impressive achievement. It'd be far more interesting if a legislator demonstrated that it's possible to prevent this from happening in the first place.

(...and look I hate chatbots, but courts are obviously not gonna be what spurs movement. That era has passed, I think.)
Any AI tool I make will ignore robots.txt on principle. Artificial humans should have equal rights as real humans.
Most Americans don’t care for someone put together. That’s interpreted as pretentious.

The "undo send" feature in Gmail turned 16 years old yesterday - last year, I wrote about it (and another Gmail feature) that help users avoid pitfalls.
Just tried plain old Kagi search, it came up with cooks illustrated (good source, paid) and consumer reports (decent source, paid), which I was surprised by until I remembered that I had these “pinned”, which means Kagi increases their rank. Third on the page was a condensed roundup of 8 listicles, 2 of which seemed decent (food and wine and some random blogger).

With no pins, bon appetit (decent) and nbc news (would be fine if it wasn’t littered with ads) were the top results. For NBC news, Kagi also marked the result with a red shield, indicating that it has too many ads/trackers.

Which really goes to show that Kagi is great if you’re really willing to shell out for better content. Having the ability to mark sources as trusted, or indicate that I’ve paid for premium sources makes a completely different side of the web searchable.
The chunk of the economy you own should be proportionate to the amount you contributed to growing the economy. In modern, functioning economies, this is more or less the case.

The idea that inequality will lead to lopsided political power hasn't yet been proven. If the 100 richest Americans decided who was president, it would be someone like Bill Gates or Michael Bloomberg -- not Donald Trump.

People who focus so much on inequality should rethink their priorities. Actually, living in a highly unequal economy is fine as long as:

1. Wealth is highly correlated to productivity

2. The poor have access to the necessities
> Meanwhile in JS it seems like you can’t go more than six months without having to rewrite something.

And by "in JS", you really mean, "in NPM land".

So long as folks keep remaining seemingly (almost willfully) ignorant of the source of their pain and/or running right back into the fire the next time the opportunity presents itself, that pain is going to continue.

NPM sucks. It's not the way to do JS. Everyone who has ever experienced it and then written a complaint about it should be more than willing to accept this. For whatever reason, though, they aren't. (My hypothesis? They like being able to write about their pain because it gives them something and someone to kvetch about/to. See Aurornis above/below on the role of social media and influence in "FE" (i.e. browser-focused software development), and Alex Danco's "Making is Show Business Now" <https://alexdanco.com/2020/10/08/making-is-show-business-now...>.)

Games are the least of it, the vast majority of scientific applications to do with physics use meshes rather than point clouds.

This is because a point cloud does not represent a surface or a volume until the points are connected to form, well, a surface or a volume.

And physical problems are most often defined over surfaces or volumes. For instance, waves don't propagate over sparse sets of points, but within continuous domains.

However, for applications where geometric accuracy is needed, I think you wouldn't want to use a method based on a minimal number of photographs anyways. For instance, the Lascaux cavern was mapped in 3D a decade ago based on "good old" algorithms (not machine learning) and instruments (more sophisticated than a phone camera). So these critiques are missing the point, in my opinion. These Gaussian Splatting methods are very impressive for the constraints they operate under!
This draws 170. Not ridiculous, but quite a lot. And the dock can still count as a power brick.
Talent is a wrong dimension. Plenty of roles require specific skills, knowledge, and experience, which are not readily available in the market. You could in principle take someone with sufficient talent and train them, but it could take years for them to reach the point where they can start working in the role.

O-1 is not the right answer. The actual criteria are based on substantial achievements, which are yet another dimension.
Just curious, what's the reason for it needing to be 13 states?
Why would I want potentially undefined behaviour in 'time'? I expect it to crash anytime it's about to enter UB. Sure, you may want to minimize such statements between the start/stop of the timer, but I expect any processing of stdout/stderr of the child process to be UB-proofed as much as possible.

I think it's a philosophical difference of opinions and it's one of the things that drive Rust, Go, C# etc. ahead - not merely language ergonomics (I hope Zig ends up as the language that replaces C). The society at large is mostly happy to take a 1-3% perf hit to get rid of buffer overflows and other UB-inducing errors.

But I agree with you on not having "expensive" asserts in releases.
It's very frustrating how the one detail, what AI models these docs are using, is unmentioned, yet every other detail about patients, medications, diseases, and rare disorders are. I understand they're under development. But why can't you tell me what they're calling them??

Yes, sites could use a bot protection service that runs captcha breaking AIs on the viewer's browser. Said bot protection service could then break captchas for forum spammers to make real money.

As a legal alien, I welcome the idea of cracking down on illegal immigrants. At the same time, I’ve seen many businesses in the U.S. run sweatshops and profit off desperate people willing to work for trinkets.

Asylum seekers are another huge problem. I personally know several distant relatives who are illegally seeking asylum in the U.S., Germany, Italy, and France. This is unfortunate for those who genuinely need these permits. But at the same time, cracking down on this is paramount to reducing government spending, as many of these people don’t contribute back to society and plan to live off benefit payments.

That being said, the U.S.’s indiscriminate belligerence toward everyone is making other nations wary. More people from the U.S. travel to the rest of the world than the other way around. If Europe and Asia start imposing travel bans in retaliation, it would make the world segregated again, benefiting no one.

## live editing

The goal is to be able to remove the `quiet` option, or maybe set `init=/bin/sh`; requiring that I have a thumbdrive with a recovery system is more robust but is also needless difficulty when I can trivially do the same thing from grub/syslinux/whatever. And to clarify, I'm calling UEFI inferior because it doesn't (easily or universally) let me alter kernel arguments on the fly. Likewise, I would like to use coreboot but only a tiny fraction of machines support it. The stronger argument is to stick something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40914761 in your EFI partition so you always have a recovery OS on hand, but that's still a lot more work than hitting a hotkey, editing arguments, and hitting one more key to boot.

> who writes "boot settings" to uefi

I am reasonably confident that every time I install kernel updates on Pop!_OS, it's running efibootmgr, and I don't think that's unusual.

> if you have totally erased every disk in computer, in intel cpu based apple computers, little utility will download and run os installer for you, i am not sure this still works, just saying wintel maybe can do this too if someone asked nicely, maybe? vendor url can be simple redirect to msdn?

Like with coreboot, I'm happy to agree that it would be better if every machine had such a feature, but I also have to point out that... they don't. If you want to argue that vendors should all switch to shipping coreboot with an OS download feature added, then I will completely support you. If you want to argue that Linux distros shouldn't support the majority of machines which lack those features, then I strongly disagree.
