Oh wow. Do you really want to die on that hill? Big tech is responsible for a HUGE MOUNTAIN of absolutely hideous shit, destroyed lives and dead people—and you’re telling me that the engineers with a freely adjustable consciousness that built this machinery uphold some sort of ethics? The same guys that created algorithms optimised to glue children to screens for most of the day, driving young people into depression and suicide, and allowing the emergence of „alternative facts“?

And yes, Amazon employee #18447272. You are just as responsible for empowering Bezos to fuck over the WaPo as the rest of them. Employees of big tech corporations are the silent accomplices of the tech oligarchy we’re headed into.
I know the feeling. I made the switch a few months ago, and haven't regretted it at all.

It's funny in a way the reluctance people have to part with relatively small amounts of money like $5 or $10 a month for something so core. Given the amount of complaining online about being the product instead of the customer, you'd think more people would jump at the chance to establish the proper relationship with their primary source of information on the internet for the equivalent of the price of a cup of coffee or a fast-food meal.

Just that alone is easily worth the cost, not to mention the drastically better search results, and the ability to customize things intentionally, based on what you actually want, versus what Google thinks you should want, or more like what their actual customers, the advertisers, think you should want.
Perhaps your memory had incorrectly conflated that with his infamous "The Third Place" commercial for the PS2? I remember a fuss being made about Lynch making that at the time, but I've never heard any claim he directed the PS9 one.
It’s pretty hard for a company to do something outside their core competency.

Remember when Google launched a social network?

Remember when Facebook made a phone?

Remember when intel tried to make mobile chips?

Apple is the best in the world at making expensive computers in various sizes. From pocket size to desktop. And some peripherals. That’s their core competency. AI is not on the list.
Right, the post on “rachelbythebay” was hinting at something much worse.
I have a prompt personalization that says im a scientist / engineer. Perhaps thats why it gave me a better answer. If you consider the multitude of contexts you could ask this question it makes sense to give it a little personal background.
Node exporter is a good start, or you could look at Netdata
> Routine unix sockets are just some file in /tmp which an attacker could likewise open by racing against the daemon in the same way.

So put the socket in /run instead of /tmp?

I'm no expert, but this appears to be where they belong, and it appears to solve the problem. From https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s15.htm... : "System programs that maintain transient UNIX-domain sockets must place them in this directory or an appropriate subdirectory as outlined above." ... "/run should not be writable for unprivileged users; it is a major security problem if any user can write in this directory."
So what? Asking “What is the best evidence in favor of this” is equivalent to saying I don’t want to google this, so google this for me. Literally all researchers at all levels in all fields use google for this stuff. I was in academia for years.
Yes, they are cutting the employees, who provide services to veterans.

> I think blocking the democratically elected president from enacting the things he run on, harms your democracy.

It's not blocking, but instead following the rule of law. For example Trump can't just cut funding that was already agreed on by congress.

What he is doing is undemocratic.

Agree that this forced EU having to step up.

What point were you trying to make? I may need it explained in a simpler way.
If you think that, I'd encourage you to use one.
1. St Andrews / Warwick aren't worth the money. UK economy is in the gutter. No point paying $150K when starting salaries in the UK are like $30k.

2. Seems like a decent option.

3. Going to FSU will not win you any points anywhere. A US college outside the top 20 just doesn't command a strong reputation.

4. Don't count on being able to transfer.

5. Ditto.

6. Grinnell college in Iowa for $180K? Money poorly spent. As with FSU, people are going to look down on the brand.

I'd go with #2, run through that as quickly as you can, then move to US either for work or grad school (1-year masters to minimize cost).
> That makes no sense: shipping all dependencies (e.g. shipping a container image) gives perfect binary compatibility on Linux, which is what flatpak/snap/appimage do.

True, but sad. The way to achieve compatibility on Linux is to distribute applications in the form of what are essentially tarballs of entire Linux systems. This is the "fuck it" solution.

Of course I suppose it's not unusual for Windows stuff to be statically linked or to ship every DLL with the installer "just in case." This is also a "fuck it" solution.

You seem to be bent on have an altogether different discussion because you’re continuously missing the point. It’s exhausting, boring, and goes against HN guidelines about fostering a curious conversation.
The "How to use a Python variable in an external Javascript (Django)" examples are likely vulnerable to an XSS attack, when the variable contains user supplied content.

It's important to output-encode for the correct context. By default, Django encodes template variables for an HTML context, which can allow XSS when output inside a script tag or as a JavaScript file.

Are you sure about that? Because I remember something called ACPI that gets executed by the OS every time some configuration changes, such as power levels.

AI Overview

Elon Musk is limited to borrowing against pledged Tesla shares, with the total loan amount capped at the lesser of $3.5 billion or 25% of the value of the pledged shares. Musk's current holdings of about 411 million shares and 238.4 million pledged shares as of April 6, 2023.

Here's a breakdown:

25% Loan-to-Value Limit:
Tesla's policy caps the loan amount Musk can take out based on a percentage of the value of his pledged Tesla shares.

$3.5 Billion Dollar Cap:
Musk's borrowing is also limited to a total of $3.5 billion.

Pledged Shares:
Musk currently has 238.4 million shares pledged as collateral for his loans.

Overall:

Musk is borrowing against a portion of his Tesla stock holding, subject to the limits set by the company policy.

It's more unfortunate a proper RPC library is not being used. People rolling their own buggy parsers in C is an endless source of bugs.
nope. Fab models are extremely accurate for mature nodes (like anything down to 3nm now). They keep updating after qualification runs, but you see they converge within 1-2 years. Even failure modes and probabilities are modelled extremely accurately

This is if you run full electrical circuit simulation. For complex digital chips you can't do that due to insane compute requirements. There comes in modeling and yield estimation wizardry in. But if you want to simulate the hell out of a reasonably small circuit (< 100M nodes), you can do that extremely accurately.

If you want to get handy with matrix calculus, the real prerequisite is being comfortable with Taylor expansions and linear algebra.

In a graduate numerical optimization class I took over a decade ago, the professor spent 10 minutes on the first day deriving some matrix calculus identity by working out the expressions for partial derivatives using simple calculus rules and a lot of manual labor. Then, as the class was winding up, he joked and said "just kidding, don't do that... here's how we can do this with a Taylor expansion", and proceeded to derive the same identity in what felt like 30 seconds.

Also, don't forget the Jacobian and gradient aren't the same thing!
I wouldn't worry. Retracting ZIRP policies gave governments 2 choices: reduce spending by ~10% on average (in Europe), or cheat and scheme to bring them back, on a 2 year timer.

Interest rates raised, but came back down before the 2 years were even up (rate rise started 27 Jul 2022, Started coming back down 12 Jun 2024), governments have been caught cheating, and the number of central bankers replaced has gone up dramatically. Oh, and none of the governments have reduced spending. Literally not a single one. In fact, Germany has agreed to an unprecedented increase in debt financing of their government.

In other words, ZIRP, even negative rates, are coming back, and a lot sooner than most people think. Your next house, despite everything that's happened, will be more expensive. But I doubt this will save either OpenAI or Tesler.
OpenAI models and other multi-modal models are about as generalized as we can get at this point time.

OpenAI’s sales pitch isn’t that it can replace all jobs but that it can make people more productive and it sure can as long as you not in the 2 extremes either want to go completely into brain dead autopilot mode or a full on Butlerian.
Turnabout is fair play to the comment OP.
I see no mention of "userns" in debian's apparmor.d, which means Debian is unaffected because it does not implement such protection at all.

An analogy: Ubuntu has installed a lock on a window which turned out to be easily broken. Debian was unaffected because it just kept that window unlocked - no lock, no vulnerability.
> shipping all dependencies (e.g. shipping a container image) gives perfect binary compatibility on Linux

That doesn’t work for GUI programs which use a hardware 3D GPU. Linux doesn’t have a universally available GPU API: some systems have GL, some have GLES, some have Vulkan, all 3 come in multiple versions of limited compatibility, and optional features many of them are vendor specific.

In contrast, it’s impossible to run modern Windows without working Direct3D 11.0 because dwm.exe desktop compositor requires it. If a software consumes Direct3D 11.0 and doesn’t require any optional features (for example, FP64 math support in shaders is an optional feature, but sticking to the required set of features is not very limiting in practice unless you need to support very old GPUs which don’t implement feature level 11.0), will run on any modern Windows. Surprisingly, it will also run on Linux systems which support Wine: without Vulkan-capable GPU will be slow but should still work due to Lavapipe, which is a Linux equivalent of microsoft’s WARP they use on Windows computers without hardware 3D GPU.
In practice it rarely uses ChatGPT. And even when it does, it doesn’t work properly.

Eg. The other day I had a birthday invitation for a kids party sent to me as a jpg. I figure, I’ll ask Siri to add it to my calendar. After a lot of persuasion I manage to get it to send it to ChatGPT to process it (which makes no sense since even the photos app can read text in an image).

But anyway, it sends it to ChatGPT. Which replies by reading out the contents of the image including all the day and time and location. And that’s it. No action from Siri.

So I follow up with ‘so can you add it to my calendar now?’ Siri replies “what would you like to me add to your calendar?”

That was 5 minutes of my life I won’t get back…
I find this both interesting and very wrong. On the one had there seem to be some potential edge cases where this framing could be useful. On the other hand I think “But LLMs are not deterministic” is really code for “I find limited utility in a tool that regularly acts aggressively contrary to my goals”

Just want to chime in on indie open source: I'm seeing many projects from chinese coders on Github since ~2022, I've come across some useful tools, mostly in the LLM space like OpenManus or Cherry Studio, but also documents like Siyuan, Univer. They seem pretty popular, even though many insist on inflating the stars at the beginning, for the initial boost on popularity.

Then there are the corporate-backed efforts from Bytedance, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei which are sometimes published here and make the news, several frameworks and engines.

Some projects only have a read-only mirror on Github, because all the work is done on their local alternatives like Gitee, or scattered around other places.

And well, anywhere you go a lot of software is disposable; integrations, widgets, things tailored to the local market, and so on... so that's probably why we don't see as much. I mean, it pales in comparison to the amount of culturally impactful software made back in the 80s and 90s, both in Europe and the US. But all things considered, I think they are catching up, and the traditional language barrier is breaking down, as in, I'm seeing more collaboration out in the open.
What are your plans for language and in-language library compatibility?
In the French revolution it was decided by the ones with Guillotines :)
That is solved by containerization (cgroups and namespaces), which is initially popularized by docker, which appeared about 12 years ago. And newer things like flatpak and snap are just bells and whistles over this.
> > I don't think it can ever be understated how dangerous this is.

It's not hysteria. Humans haven been trained, for better or worse, that computers are effectively infallible. Computed answers are going from near-100% correct to not-even-80% correct in an extremely short time.

It's not hysteria to say this is a dangerous combination.

> in your country does the entire criminal justice process take place in the course of the same day of the arrest? Interesting

No, in my country--America--when an officer goes out to arrest someone for crimes, they typically need a warrant. I am unaware of a single one of these recent ICE arrests having even met that threshold.

Like, we've got plainsclothes officers wearing masks conducting illegal arrests and then a separate cadre of Stadtpolizei moving said warantlessly detained across state and national borders in a blatant attempt to outrun court orders. Each of these people is wilfully and knowingly breaking serious laws. They won't be punished under this administration. But we need to absolutely make an example out of them in the future.
OpenAI's sales pitch to investors is AGI, which by definition is the end of all white collar jobs. That's the line they have held onto for years and still push forward today.

And regardless, even if it were "marginal improvements to productivity" as you say, it would be "marginal improvements to productivity packaged in a form that people will definitely buy from us", not "we'll pioneer the tech and then be one of a half dozen vendors of a commodity that's racing to the bottom on price".
L4 and L5 are more stable. L2 isn't super stable, hence the need for fuel for station keeping. More polite to vacate on purpose rather than just erratically bounce around a nearby orbit after fuel runs out.

For the record, I'm downvoting specifically because of the way your wording implies that someone can't be pro-democracy and also reference twitter.

But also it's really reductive to act like someone referencing twitter is "ignoring some world issues"

But really the reason you most deserve a downvote is because the article works perfectly fine if you skip the intro paragraph. If you decline to read the article, that's not an anti-twitter stance, it's just foolishness.

Also, my dude, the tweet was posted in 2020 and the article wasn't much later. You're going to retroactively snub the author for that?
The article's main premise isn't bad, but it's full of weird technical inaccuracies.

At certain points he talks about syscalls, libc (I'm assuming glibc), PE vs. ELF, and an 'ABI'. Those are all different things, and IIUC all are fairly stable on Linux, what isn't stable is userspace libraries such as GTK and QT. So, what are we talking about?

There's also statements like this, which, I'm not a kernel developer but they sound a little to good to be true:

> A small modification to the "exec" family of system calls to dispatch on executble type would allow any Linux application to fork an exec a Windows application with no effort.

He goes on to talk about Gatekeeper (which you can disable), Recall (which is disabled by default), and signing in with a Microsoft account (which can be easily bypassed, though he linked an article saying they might remove it). He also talks about "scanning your computer for illegal files", I don't know what this is referring to, but the only thing I could find on Google was Apple's iCloud CSAM scanning thing. That's not on your computer, and it got so much backlash that it was cancelled.

There's plenty of stuff to criticize about these companies and their services without being dramatic, and the idea of Linux having more compatibility with Win32 via Wine isn't bad.

“ but that doesn't mean we can't build external feedback loops—tests, validation layers, human oversight—to steer them toward reliable, useful outcomes”

To what end though, I almost can’t tell if you’re suggesting the difference is, “here’s a recent phd grad without much experience who we can shape into a useful employee” and “this is the bosses son, he’s an incompetent alcoholic, and we can’t fire him, but with enough checks and balances we should be able to keep him from doing to much damage. ( I know you’re saying the first, but culturally it seems like we’re somewhat saying the second. We’re spending billion of dollars on LLMs so you better build the future out of them, useful or not)

And I’m being a bit severe here, but I have regularly had LLM’s suggest they should overwrite my guard rails, like the code comments, even when the comments say “keep this the same.”

So again, great autocomplete that gives me a 30-50% productivity on my work? Yes, will I be writing no code and vibe coding / accept all without reading within the year?

It's interesting you bring up the Abrahamic God, because the old testament specifically describes Him as, among other things,

- Jealous

- "Full of wrath"

- Vengeful

- Willing to harden hearts (make people resistant to obedience)

- demanding and severe

- prone to tempting or testing people

These are not my pejorative statements, but the literal language used, at least in the English translations. It seems the idea that the Abrahamic God is just trying to make everyone's life better all the time is a more modern western invention. I don't think it was common even 150 years ago.

In Finland any shop that sells small batteries must also offer to recycle them for free.

There is similar rule for bottles/cans with deposits (similar to CRV though values are quite a bit higher, 0.10-0.40€ depending on size/material). If you sell something for which customer needs to pay the deposit for you also need to accept them & pay back the deposit.
