I don’t necessarily agree with this, but it is true nonetheless.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how TLS fingerprinting works. The "fingerprint" isn't from chrome sending a "fingerprint: [random uuid]" attribute in every TLS negotiation. It's derived from various properties of the TLS stack, like what ciphers it can accept. You can't make "stop sending as much of a fingerprint", without every browser agreeing on the same TLS stack. It's already minimal as it is, because there's basically no aspect of the TLS stack that users can configure, and chrome bundles its own, so you'd expect every chrome user to have the same TLS fingerprint. It's only really useful to distinguish "fake" chrome users (eg. curl with custom header set, or firefox users with user agent spoofer) from "real" chrome users.

Oil may go down. Flour? The combine to reap the wheat will go up, why would flour go down?

Poor people in the hood still wear clothes. Clothes will go up.

That car on the verge of breaking down? Car parts will go up.

Poor people still have a supply-chain footprint that has many branches outside the country. At least some of the things they need are going to get more expensive.

DeepSeek R1 has 671B parameters. If you want to run at 8 bits/parameter (the native format for DeepSeek R1, in which it was trained, so the top performance possible for the model), one would need about 32 Blackhole p150a ([1]), which is around $42k and 10kW power consumption.

So, yes, you can run DeepSeek R1 on it, but there are cheaper options (if we only talk about inference).

Good point. It still would increase costs, maybe not as much.
> I don't think any sort of "UBI" (assuming you mean direct cash payments) is a realistic solution, either. People need to "work" in some organized fashion to avoid the common negative outcomes associated with "welfare" scenarios.

That's actually the point of a UBI.

The problem with existing welfare programs is that they're a poverty trap. If you have no job or a very low paying job, you get benefits. If you make any more money at all, you lose the benefits, and simultaneously you lose the time and expenses of taking the job. If that means you e.g. have to buy a car to go to work, taking a job causes you to lose money. Sometimes you lose money even before your working expenses because overlapping benefits phase outs can consume more than 100% of marginal income.

With a UBI, the amount you get is only the amount you need to avoid starvation and homelessness, but you get that amount unconditionally. If you can find any work at all, you get the UBI and your wages, instead of getting your wages instead of welfare programs. Which allows you to work, even if you're only qualified to do low paying jobs, without being put in a worse position than you'd have been if you just stayed on welfare.
That's exactly what they meant.

Maybe the elites. State schools and small colleges are not flush with cash and many have been shuttered or severely downsized recently. Though they could still spend their limited funds better.

What is the best option for playing LAN games over the internet these days?

Hamachi appears to still be a thing, but I would prefer something open source.

Tailscale sadly doesn't support multicast, which I'm assuming most games use for LAN discovery.

ZeroTier maybe?
An "accelerating situation". Jay Forrester [0] spoke about system
dynamics and how, if you focus on rate of change (at different orders)
you see distinct linear or non-linear situations.

If systems are linear, then if they go wrong you can correct them.
When systems exhibit non-linear (accelerating) behaviours... watch
out. Tech always had a non-linear growth (Moore). I suspect tech is
entering a new non-linear phase, going south, as many accumulating
factors come into play.

Yep, durable execution-wise we're targeting a very similar use-case with a very different philosophy on whether the orchestrator (the part of the durable execution engine which invokes tasks) should run in-process or as a separate service.

There's a lot to go into here, but generally speaking, running an orchestrator as a separate service is easier from a Postgres scaling perspective: it's easier to buffer writes to the database, manage connection overhead, export aggregate metrics, and horizontally scale the different components of the orchestrator. Our original v0 engine was architected in a very similar way to an in-process task queue, where each worker polls a tasks table in Postgres. This broke down for us as we increasing volume.

Outside of durable execution, we're more of a general-purpose orchestration platform -- lots of our features target use-cases where you either want to run a single task or define your tasks as a DAG (directed acyclic graph) instead of using durable execution. Durable execution has a lot of footguns if used incorrectly, and DAGs are executed in a durable way by default, so for many use-cases it's a better option.
I'm definitely not glad about it.

They are doing it to make sure their apps still have an edge over websites.
> I think they have said somewhere that Headscale is actually revenue positive for them.

I have the same memory. But they may not feel that way forever. Many a company started by attracting developers with a generous free tier or open-source offering, then started to clamp down once the going got tough.

Heck, it happened to one of Tailscale's competitors, ZeroTier, which used to release their client software under GPLv3 but eventually switched to BSL.
> they found SO many inconsistencies between environments

This implies somebody with admin rights makes alterations in ad-hoc way without first doing it in test env.

If they continue with adhoc stuff, then it means auto-generated migrations will be different in test vs prod. (I prefer to test exactly same thing that will be used in prod)

> I think there are two main reasons, the first being the sheer intellectual difficulty of crafting an informed political view leads people to tribalism out of convenience.

What's the difference between tribalism and deferring to experts on complex subjects, e.g. climate change? I have a deep skepticism of people who think they can personally reason through any complex topic from first principles. It shows a lack of humility and self-awareness. Nobody has the time to build that kind of expertise in every domain, and there is wisdom in deferring to the hard won experience of others. But the type to think they can reason through everything seems like the type to call this "tribal politics."
Idk, the models generating what are basically 1:1 copies of the training data from pretty generic descriptions feels like a severe case of overfitting to me. What use is a generational model that just regurgitates the input?

I feel like the less advanced generations, maybe even because of their limitations in terms of size, were better at coming up with something that at least feels new.

In the end, other than for copyright-washing, why wouldn't I just use the original movie still/photo in the first place?

If you're saying here that ARM is a company with a large and near-even (by headcount) presence in three countries (and much more distributed overall), then I agree with you fully.

Else, what was your point again ? You said in your first post that a majority of ARM (based on what metric?) comes off Austin, and that is not true by your own later words.

Anyway, I also agree we should be proud of the work done by companies such as (for example) ASML or ARM. Irrespective of where that happens, to be honest.
"the age of tariffs" ah yes, typical ethnocentric point of view of the US.

Does the author not know other nations have been engaged in charging tariffs for a very long time?
> to realize fundamentally different visions of the world, based on fundamentally different values

I think your use of the word "world" is telling.

Trump, the Republicans, and the global right are focused on their citizens.

The Democrats and the global left are more focused on the world and their role in it.

It's no longer just two approaches on how we can have the strongest economy. Each party has a weighting for how much to consider every issue across the world.

For example, there are people who would be happy with less growth, lower income, but more action on climate change.

The owner is whoever controls the installed keys. I think the issue is one of misuse rather than implementation.

The firmware refusing to let you change the keys is the root of the problem but it's also useful as an anti theft measure when it's not being abused by OEMs. Boot security doesn't depend on that though.

In addition to the above, as an alternative implementation I believe measured boot and a sealed secret is also sufficient to implement boot security without the need for the firmware to manage user provided keys at all.
They seem to be showing very decent performance results for diffusion transformers. Not so much for the autoregressive transformers (the "regular" ones).
Great post, I agree with all your points regarding what is politics except that a functioning democracy should rely on common people, I think it should rely on the valuable people.

Common man democracy just lowers the decision making process to majority of idiots of the country that are easily manipulated. Worse yet, in its current form, it essentially causes the flip flopping mess because of the lack of long term vision and focus, something the common man doesn't want to deal with.

One man one vote in general makes no sense either. Why should a homeless or fresh immigrant's vote have the same impact as someone that has lived and paid taxes in a country for decades? How about...you get a vote weight equal to the amount of investment/taxes you have made in that country over the course of your life. Provide more for the community, have more to lose, get more say on policy.

Give incentive to the society value providers to remain and society detractors to leave.

Add to this that the current Democracy system is fundamentally flawed, most of those systems are exploitable anyway, it makes zero sense to change things up when a great leader is doing well. Having an arbitrary rule that they must step down because they can only serve for x time makes no sense. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Same goes the other way, where bad leaders can remain in power using war mechanisms.

The core problems today with society is not the left right or whatever, it's that people are lazy, selfish, manipulative, different, it's hard to find a system that works that can make everyone happy.

Are you willing to risk personal death or decrease your value for the greater good of the nation as a leader or citizen? That's the standard that all citizens and especially politicians should be held to. There are examples of this in the past, usually when a revolution happens. One might say it's happening in the US right now.

For certain one solution would be to remove people as much as possible from the equation, remove all incentive to abuse the system. The dictatorship and laws of a country should provide negative motivation for someone to cheat and should reward people providing value to society.

It's not easy, no matter how well a system is designed, people will find a way to cheat it, Bitcoin is a great example of this, not accounting for the banking industry buying the ecosystem and shitcoins diluting the entire system.

AI is not there yet, I don't think it ever could be, it's been trained on existing flawed ideas which have been further gimped in the interest of 'security'. It has no original thought, can't even draw a full glass of wine.
We have 24 official languages, regulations/legal systems vary from county to county and we don't even have a common currency.

It's a lot better than having to deal with each county individually but still way more overhead than US.

trump would love a government shutdown, as he has proven. I really doubt shutting down the govt would change any situation when trump is legislating by executive order, and mostly a shutdown would hurt Americans.

The answer is yes? The person doing the drawing is violating copyright. I don't know why that is even a controversial question.

You are asking the equivalent question of, if I put a pirated copy of windows on my PC that I only use privately at home am I violating copyright, or if I sell copies of music for people to only listen to in their own home.

But this is even more damning, this is a commercial service that is reproducing the copyrighted work.

Edit: Just to clarify to people who reflexively downvote. I'm making a statement of what is it not a value judgement. And yes there is fair use, but that's an exemption from the rule that it is a copyright violation.
There's nothing in the definition of inflation that says it needs to be driven by consumer demand.
> Anyone who isn't afraid of woke can see certain voters were demonstrably taken in by transparent demagoguery.

How is this different than the decision-making process of many Democrat voters? Trying to make any rational arguments on "certain issues" gets you labelled as a fascist, racist, bigot or all of this (and more) at the same time. There's nothing rational about this kind of approach.

It seems to me that the left has become lazy and often assumes that something must be rational because they believe it.

Yes - with free trade, the US is the wealthiest economy in the history of the world. Economic research says it works. What is the reasoning for throwing it away?

The way I saw the Columbia protests was that Donny's trial was downtown, and because it was not televised, producers told their crews to stop filming the doors to the courthouse. So, looking for any story at all, they took the subway uptown to the hippies camping out on the quad. Hey, at least it's better than literally staring at a door, right? Next thing you know, the student protest thing blew up. Why? Because there was literally nothing else going on for the TV news crews to film those days. Soon as graduation happened and the trial wrapped up, we never heard another thing.

Dartmouth, sure, it may have a high energy protest scene and be smart and whatever. But no-one knows about it - not because they are crafty - but because it's in freakin Hanover.
>i understand that this sentiment is going around. but i don't think it is coming from the school or the curriculum.

I do not claim I saw it in a textbook. But it was spoken by an adult, by a teacher, and there is no evidence that in my case this opinion was ever discouraged. Furthermore, it played into a form of indoctrination that is now official policy (fight climate change!), and the views are prevalent and encouraged in various colleges of education where these teachers are trained.

To claim that just because it wasn't typed out on school district letterhead and filed with the state that it's not official policy is asinine.

>it is more likely a teacher sharing their personal, misguided, opinion.

That's also bullshit. In another thread on another day, that opinion could be expressed here on Hacker News, and it would be applauded. Climate change is real, it must be tackled using every available tool, etc etc. On reddit, it wouldn't just be applauded, they'd hold a parade and invite the person who said it to the Superbowl with free box seat tickets.

It's not personal, it is a growing consensus among that sort of personality and I'm told that once us old boomers are all senile the people who hold this opinion will all be taking over.

>that doesn't change the fact that companies demand trained employees.

Yes, and China, India, and the rest of Asia are happy to provide those for the companies' overseas locations. And have been happy to do so since the early 1990s if not before.

> I've never seen a language that doesn't have bad things to say about other languages.

That's why I said "communities" and not "languages". Every programming language has a wide set of people who use it. You can always find some people who constantly say bad things about other languages. You can also find people who are interested in the different trade offs of the language. I use languages which are technically interesting, and then I engage with the parts of the community which are interested in finding the best solutions to actual problems.

And guess what? Most of the Zig and Rust community are, in my experience, way more focused on solving real problems than to push their language at all cost. Both /r/rust and /r/zig will often recommend different languages. I mean, this was the most upvoted comment around how to convince someone's boss to use Rust over Python: https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/14a7vgo/how_to_convin....

Pushing things deeper into space is tricky because you need to increase both sides of the orbit. It's more common to push things down (or increase atmospheric drag) so that even if the top of the orbit initially stays in a problematic area, the low side gets lower and lower until the object is deornited

Unfortunately respect and cultural adaptation do not alleviate the effects of gentrification via housing costs and cost of living.

It would be less of a problem only if you went to a country and location that has a similar cost of living as where you live now, but then again, that's not really on the table, is it...

The elephant in the room here: there is no money for anyone not in the top20%, it all goes into their pockets and they just sit on it, leaving only scraps for everyone else, tax the rich, anyone with more than x% of the median amount of wealth should have everything above that taken away and redistributed to everyone, possibly by means such as UBI/welfare/etc!

But we ain't gonna get any of that without revolution. And honestly it feels like Trump's getting us closer and closer to the brink of that.
