In my experience, MS and others give you a chance to correct the issue and if you don't do so in a timely manner (which requires qualified help), or it isn't corrected, then you get blackholed thereafter, and will remain that way up to years afterwards.

There is very little interaction from them, they assume you'll be professional enough to read the published literature and act accordingly.

The literature is a way of adding cost to those that would send spam, it also adds cost in other ways.

If I had to guess without knowing more, assuming you've correctly configured yourself locally (which may not actually be the case), I'd say it could be because of your ISP.

In recent years, with the depletion and exhaustion of IPv4 address space, many ISPs have moved towards CGNAT, where multiple customers share the same IP transparently. The ISP may do this without you knowing, but you'd have to have constructive knowledge in some fine print.

Subsequently by extension, they share the same reputation characteristics for that portion as others on the same network. Residential IP blocks get heavily punished or outright blocked on both sides.

There isn't this problem with IPv6 (no CGNAT and its complications).

I've seen this a few times now; even when the business purchased the business tier service for a static IP. In the client's case there was fine print that mattered that they didn't read in their service/purchase agreement.

The telltale sign that this might be your problem usually requires discussions with your ISP, but if you can't get to a qualified person on the line (from the backend/T2 team) you can run a test.

Have your networking guys check the traffic outbound and inbound (from public facing node) with a connection/packets that uses decrementing TTLs with either ICMP or TCP packets to get a path that aggregates each hop. Tracert or equivalent.

See if it is appearing to be routed through bogon network address space before it hits the wider network.

There are reserved addressing for CGNAT, and if the traffic is being routed across those address ranges this may be a large portion of your problem. This is just one of many things someone that specializes in messaging knows a thing or two about.

Graduated vendor responses occur with messaging, when you have little sound reputation at the start, getting everything right matters. Commercial places warm their domains and IP addresses up slowly over the span of a month. If you send to a provider like gmail, you need to click open those emails as mail that never gets read affects reputation per the whitepaper (m3aawg).

If you don't follow the practices the industry publishes, they don't relay the traffic.

I should know because I've worked in this area for quite a long time. It really is not black magick, and it is a specialized niche for a reason.
at the same time, all the AI providers have some kind of web based AI agent, so let snot pretend they're crafting their services in care of other peoples websites.
Same here. I installed, and I don't remember why, and I've never once used it.
it’s called a flipped classroom and students universally hate it.
Based on other comments in this thread it sounds like this takes place in SF’s Mission neighborhood — among other things, the warmest and least foggy area in the city!

I wonder about how to do this in my own, much chillier neighborhood… guess getting started in the summer is a big key (the author hits on the broadening/deepening event split re: weather)

Your community is what you make of it. Both suburbs I have lived in were tight knit. With kids now, in my current home, I know most of the parents with kids and we have a WhatsApp group. We host occasional BBQ and play dates and when the community pool is open we schedule time to hang out and swim. That's just scratching the surface at what I see. Other suburban community Diwali, Christmas light drive through etc.

For those who have had a poor experience in the suburbs, unfortunately that is on you. The author here created stoops and you could have organized something too.
Just host your own. Now adays using a static site generator is crazy simple, and hosting is free or sub $5 on a ton of platforms.
Why would there be an NDA on atop? It's under GPL.
Haha I'm probably getting too old or something but I really cannot see what this tool does exactly and why I'd need it. I have been working on what is now a fairly large typescript/nodejs monorepo (over 1M LoC) for the past ~13 years, and we can simply build it all with tsc -b, and COPY it in the docker image as I said, it's nice and simple and works great.

You're not passing enough judgement. That bureaucracy "does things" to legitimize itself and justify it's existence to the people. The reason it's doing dumb "we know better, peasant" things is because that's what the people the author shares a jurisdiction with want.

Basically it's illegal because his neighbors are shortsighted jerks that don't respect his rights.
Can you provide a link or screenshot that directly backs this up?
Luckily I use a much better *top, btop.
Yea. Thats big. You'd think the farming lobby was on this one. Not wanting to mis-characterise them, I think a lot of farmers are bigly MAGA so you'd think defunding a program to keep them in production was a candidate for no: fund this one, right?
I don't think you can draw that conclusion. With respect to Internet trash, the only real metrics are (along the lines of): how many eyes can you captivate, and how long can you keep them captive. There is no real incentive to encourage people to think about what they are viewing, retain what they are viewing, or even apply what they are viewing. If anything, these thing are disincentivized. At the very least, you don't want people to realize they are viewing trash (otherwise many would go elsewhere, and quality content takes more effort to produe). You also run the risk of the audience not wanting to put in the effort, and shifting to something easier.

That said, my initial response when I read "When you are standing in front of them trying to teach, they’re vacant" was, "back in my day, we had to do that without the benefits of smartphones." The whole article struck me as the type of ramblings we have heard from educators for millenia.

The goal of US information security is not making an app more popular. It's keeping secrets safe.

In that view, Signal is the wrong app to use for US Officials.
It might be covered under an NDA with some company that she's contracting with if she/they discovered the vulnerability in the course of their work.
Toxic? Let’s review:

US withdrawal from Climate Agreement, vaccine sceptic being made secretary of health, US alienating Europe, proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza, lying about who started the Ukraine war. Cutting funds to USAID. Threatening to take Greenland by force. Threatening to annex Canada. Proclaiming himself to be King. Constantly "joking" about third term.

Does any of this seem toxic to you? Would educated people support these actions?

As someone who contributed to some of those waves in terms of core tech, got various niche recognitions for it, and collaborated+employed folks here, I don't think it died but continues to evolve. (The Graphistry team helped with GPU dataframe / viz movement, apache arrow, etc, and pay our bills with folks needing to answer tricky graph questions such as on linking events or people.)

Much of the shift IMO is about who & goal, and quite exciting: gen AI is unleashing a lot of old & new ideas.

Jupyter, then streamlit, got big. In parallel, ML and now AI. So less on bespoke viz on large data, often with superficial levels of analytics. Now more on ML & AI pipelines to both understand more, and in the generative era, do more. Amazingly, you don't need to be a js wunderkind either, almost anyone with a database can do it.

Nowadays as our team is launching Louie.ai (genAI notebooks, dashboards, & pipelines), it is in part using gen AI to make all our years of GPU/graph/ai tech easy for more of our users. But the best viz is no viz, and the second best is just an answer or a list, and with genAI, one you can ask questions to. So viz is not a goal but a means, and part of a broader process like investigation and automation. We are having to start over a LOT, and so it is not dead, but changed.

Funny enough, one of the last public talks I gave before starting Graphistry all those years ago was at Strangeloop (10 years ago?) where I was describing program synthesis as the future of visualization, and demoing prompt engineering with SAT-solver-era tools. However, that wasn't powerful enough back then for what BI users needed in practice, so the program synthesis leg of our vision just wasn't practical until gpt-3.5/gpt-4 came out 2 years ago. As soon as that happened, we resumed. Building louie.ai has been incredibly stimulating and exciting now that we can finally do it all!
there was something posted on here ages ago, a web clock whose code self-altered to change what it looked like. I wish I could find it.
"researchers" is like ignoring the whole Capitalists. We don't call them script researchers. We call them script kiddies.

There's the whole other side of these AI researchers, and thats just slop artisans.
My experience is that "the rent ends up due"

basically you "pay cognitively" up front (building an understanding from/while doing) or later (when you have to troubleshoot something in a largely LLM-generated tangle.

Basically it moves from--"oh yeah I wrote something with this schema earlier" to "I saw some DB code fly out around an hour ago; maybe it's there. Where was it? `grep models ./src` wait, was it in `db` and other silly stuff like that.

No free lunches or whatever.

I'm not an extensive LLM user for programming and remain mostly agnostic on overall uses for development (sure a brand-new React thing and you're sailing, but a huge old crusty codebase, even in a language well-represented in the training set is a LOT less promising IME)

However there's use cases where I'd straight up not do whatever until the latest minute possible that I use LLMs for now: Cloudformation, various utility bash scripts, simple AWS Lambda functions and other things I consider annoying chores. For me, these cases alone have been an unambiguous victory.
You don't think Trump commands a cult of personality? I don't know where to begin with that.
Just for fun I asked the question as a simple google search which these days of course triggers an AI answer. It made for rather sobering reading;

Query: "how many golf balls fit in a boeing 737"

Result:

Estimating, you could fit roughly 1.5 to 2 million golf balls inside a Boeing 737, depending on the specific model and how tightly they're packed.

Here's a breakdown of the estimation:
Boeing 737 Dimensions: A Boeing 737 has a cabin volume of approximately 3,000 cubic meters.
Golf Ball Volume: A golf ball has a volume of about 0.000004 cubic meters.
Calculation: Dividing the cabin volume by the golf ball volume (3,000 / 0.000004) yields an estimated 750,000 golf balls. However, this calculation assumes the balls are packed perfectly, which is unlikely.
Practical Considerations: In reality, you'd need to account for the space taken up by the plane's structure, seats, aisles, and other equipment, which reduces the usable space for golf balls.
Final Estimate: Therefore, a more realistic estimate would be around 1.5 to 2 million golf balls, which accounts for the inefficiencies of packing and the space taken up by the plane's interior.

Commentary:
There are so many problems with this.

A) The actual diameter of a golf ball is 4.3 cm, so its volume is 4/3 * pi * (4.3/2)^3 = 42 cm^3. There's definitely one million cubic centimetres in a cubic metre because it's (100cm)x(100cm)x(100cm). Dividing 42 by one million gives, 0.000042 cubic metres unless I'm going crazy. So approximately 0.00004 cubic metres not 0.000004 cubic metres, out by one order of magnitude.

B) Cabin volume is 3000 cubic metres. Really? Since it's about 4m wide by 2m high, it would have to be nearly 400 metres long for that to be true! Actual length 40 metres approx, actual volume 320 cubic metres approx. Out by one order of magnitude (again).

C) 3000 / 0.000004 = 750,000,000 not 750,000! This time the AI is just doing basic arithmetic and is out by three orders of magnitude. The actual calculation should be 300 / 0.00004 = 7,500,000. The various order of magnitude errors at each stage partially cancel each other, leaving us just one order of magnitude out.

D) Finally the various practical considerations it quite correctly raises means we should reduce the number of golf balls we estimate, but the AI goes the wrong way, increasing it by a factor of 3 or so from less that a million to 1.5 to 2 million.

Conclusion: It's a hallucination raised to the fourth power.
I'm guessing its the rise of the AI agents that just go out and download "research" and not necessarily building LLMs.
> It's still not too late to impeach that entire shack of clowns.

The problem is that the people in control of the power to impeach are also picked for being yes men/women. It's yes-men all the way down by design.
For starters, this completely blocks generation of anything remotely related to copy-protected IPs, which may actually be a saving grace for some creatives. There's a lot of demand for fanart of existing characters, so until this type of model can be run locally, the legal blocks in place actually give artists some space to play in where they don't have to compete with this. At least for a short while.
And this is what they got:

NIH cuts, US withdrawal from Climate Agreement, vaccine sceptic being made secretary of health, US alienating Europe, proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza, lying about who started the Ukraine war. Cutting funds to USAID. Threatening to take Greenland by force. Threatening to annex Canada. Proclaiming himself to be King. Constantly "joking" about third term.

In retrospect is this what you voted for?
Honestly it's hard to tell how much more value the LLM people are going to get out of another copy of the internet.

It feels a lot like they're stuck for improvements but management doesn't want to hear it.

pretty good. some people in my team don’t like svelte magic and wish we were using react but others say, and i quote, “damn this is clean” or “almost effortless it just works” and i’ve seen again and again engineers ramp up pretty fast compared to my Knockout, Angular, or React times…

Pretty happy! Just wished they didn’t change their “magic” so often, but it’s the price to pay for innovation—if we can even call frontend development that, which I think we should but many frontend haters around here

Yeah, that's a good point. I was trying to be respectful of the author's wishes around pseudonymity, as it seemed intentional that when he lost anonymity, he switched domains, so I didn't want to "out" the author, but it's kind of silly since it's very public now.

I think you're right that it makes sense to identify him by his pseudonym rather than just "Anonymous" so I've updated it:

Show HN: Fretboard.el – guitar fretboard visualization tool for Emacs
Hi Hacker News!

My name is Skye. Long time listener, first time caller.

Have you ever sat down to get ready for a gig, looked at your guitar and thought to yourself: "Why am I not using the worlds most extensible text editor to work on my guitar fretboard fluency?"

Well I have just the thing: fretboard.el, the guitar fretboard visualization tool for Emacs!

fretboard.el lets you see the notes of the guitar in pure text. Immediately upon evaluation of the function `(fretboard)`, you'll be able to recognize where the root note is positioned in relation to the key or chord shape.

With just a keystroke, you can cycle through scale signatures, chord tonalities and guitar tunings!

fretboard.el is free and open-source. Documentation can be found on the repo at https://github.com/skyefreeman/fretboard.el.

Happy practicing!
You certainly don't have to be a Christian apologist to acknowledge the unique contributions Christianity has made to the development of the west.
This is my latest and most advanced comment yet.
It was easy to fix though, I just said "all the way full" and it got it on the next try. Which makes sense, a full pour is actually "overfull" given normal standards.
Saaay, what happened to that assistant US attorney who prosecuted Aaron Swartz for doing exactly this? Oh wait, Aaron didn't have billions in VC backing. That's the difference.

It does have fairly low adherence to the edit format, compared to the other frontier models. But it is much better than any previous Gemini model in this regard.

Aider automatically asks models to retry malformed edits, so it recovers. And goes on to produce a SOTA score.
I tried a few of the prompts and the results I see are far worse than the examples provided. Seems like there will be some room for artists yet in this brave new world.
There were several prime opportunities during his last term when those elusive "deeply concerned" (remember that meme?) Republicans could have chosen to act. We could have nipped this all in the bud, convicted him during his impeachment, and moved on from all of this. But those Republicans failed to act. Now even more congressional Republicans have been primaried and replaced by MAGA sycophants. I am, regrettably, past the point of having faith that the Republicans will do the right thing "this time"
I remember watching hours of TV as a child in the 80s. I remember my cousins, born in the 90s staring like zombies at Cartoon Network when they were toddlers. We're all reasonably functional adults (most high achievers academically, and holding down well-paid jobs, with families). We also had huge amounts of screen time playing games, mostly on PCs.

If screens per-se are the problem, we'd have seen the same issues manifesting decades ago.

I think phones are the issue, rather than screens, specifically social media and notifications in particular. Someone suggested turning notifications off for social media, and it was a big change in my life, and something I've urged my own children to do as well.
Probably, can you?
Imagine the resources the Chinese and Russian governments devote to accessing these phones. The value to them could be trillions of dollars and/or existential differences in national security outcomes. The owners have to assume they are hacked, and that China and Russia know where they are going to dinner (which itself is a problem - they know who is meeting with who and when).

"somewhere along the line it seems like NASA had the ability taken away to advertise properly." This is literally true. JPL had its science communication, education, and outreach teams gutted last year. For that small investment in people and programs, the public gets to better understand where their tax dollars are going, more people are aware of and can use the products, and kids can learn and be inspired.

the rabbit hole goes pretty deep...
Thank you for the accurate correction. My whining was a bit unmerited. The link goes to a page that largely provides exactly what I asked for. It just starts out with an invitation to try it yourself. That invitation leads you to an app that requires a login. It was unfair of me to be triggered by that invitation.

After that invitation there are several examples that boil down to: "Hey look. Our AI can generate deep fakes." Impressive examples.
Not quite tiny - a basic armored (rats !) 12 strands cable may be around 10-15 millimeters, whereas similarly specced cables in the 500 strands range might reach 20-30 mm. In crowded Paris downtown, it adds up fast. On the countryside, that is a lot more weight to hang on poles.
... I decided to give people a choice, so I've updated the script to produce TWO atom feeds now, one of which is just the most recent 20 items:

https://simonw.github.io/ollama-models-atom-feed/atom-recent...
You're talking about this document:

https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-12/guidance-mo...

Which says:

Organizations may already have these best practices in place, such as secure communication platforms1 and multifactor authentication (MFA) policies. In cases where organizations do not, apply the following best practices to your mobile devices.

And goes on to say:

Adopt a free messaging application for secure communications that guarantees end-to-end encryption, such as Signal or similar apps.

But concludes:

Any reference to specific commercial entities, products, processes, or services by service mark, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not constitute or imply endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by CISA.

So they mention signal as an example of an app that they are talking about, but they explicitly state that by mentioning it they are not implying to endorse or recommend or even favor it.

Moreover, the advice doesn't apply to organizations that have their own best practices in place, which the organizations in question certainly do. So the question isn't what CISA recommends it's what the CIA, DoD, Department of State, etc. recommend.
