Spend any amount of time, reading the implementation of powerfull algorithms (A* search, Bubble sort), and you will realize that the power is in the idea, not the feeble attempt at coding it in PHP, Go, JS or what ever.
I'm not sure what "agree with the Palestinians" would mean. Like they are not happy with being genocided? I think that would be most people's feeling in that situation, though that doesn't show any proximity in belief, value or principle.

The ultimate long term solution --- refuse to buy any home product that defies local control.

If a wifi password is required to make full use of the device, I will return it.

If some users want to sacrifice security and privacy for "convenience", that's on them. But if you want to sell me the product, at least provide the option to decline without loss of functionality. Otherwise, no sale.

As an example, I refuse to buy a doorbell camera that doesn't support RTSP.
My take,

Low security should use passwords. None of that fancy &@73gdb-Whb stuff. Just a regular word. Suitable for Netflix and meditation apps that want a basic login to prove that you paid.

Medium security should use magic links and a simple password that you don't need to write. If you lose your email, the password prevents hackers from taking over your app. If you lose your password, hackers can't take over your device. Suited for something like social media or MMOs, which are targeted very often.

High security might need proper 2FA with auth app, password rotation, stuff like that. Probably shouldn't be necessary unless there's constant active attempts to hack. Everyone gets attacked, especially in the era of AI, but I'm saying at least 10 attacks a day.

You can also layer on extra levels of security, but IMO that's about the level you should expect from users.
North Korea targets Irish tech sector with undercover workers
Actually it supports that, via notifications and peek. The intent is not nefarious, as I said before. I don't want the person who sent me the message think that I read their message and just tossed to a virtual bin.

I just did it yesterday. Somebody sent me a message, and I read it via notification, but they don't have the receipt yet. I'll write their answer with a fresh mind, and send the answer they deserve.

I don't think valuing the person on the other end of the line is a bad thing.
Really? That demand is rapidly dropping, for all kinds of terrifying reasons
>In a well off European country, you'd pay around 45k USD for a strong entry level developer. I can imagine 2x salaries, considering costs of living, fire at will and all that, but >4x? Not sure how to back that up.

You back that up with the fact that Google makes 500k USD profit per employee, AFTER they pay each of them 200k+ in salaries plus added taxes and other expenses. Valve makes 19 Million USD profit per employee. There are no European tech companies that make even remotely as much profit per employee, so obviously they'll never be able to pay such salaries no matter how much EU workers as for.

It's not like the US tech workers work 4x harder, or 4x faster, or are 4x smarter than the European ones, it's that their companies are 4x more profitable and that reflects in workers' compensation.
You'd expect that from an average person, but not a genius in the subject. "Genius" is almost by definition a contrarian viewpoint or technique that happens to be better than the consensus or the best-known.
Wow. That's insane if you ask me.
>Podman doesn't have a dependency on systemd

Just to be clear we're talking about QUADLETS, red hat's recommended way to orchestrate containers.

>Just to be clear, Quadlet is just an integration and you can still run podman without it.

Just to be clear, nobody was unclear about that.

It is, just to be clear, red hat's recommended way to orchestrate podman containers despite having this nasty dependency analogous to the one docker has on a root service.

Hope that helps.
I genuinely can't tell; it's a good question. If the sellers on AliExpress could ever be arsed to use recyclable packaging instead of four layers of plastic baggies and wrap it would be even more interesting.
Part of the reason bit torrent works really well is that the file is downloaded in random order. It lets everyone cooperate, while still being robust to bad peers, bad network connections, churn etc.

If you want live high quality streaming, a lot of reasons bit torrent works so well goes away.

Latency matters. In bit torrent if the peer goes away, no big deal, just try again in 5 minutes with another peer, you are downloading in random order, who cares if one piecs is delayed 5 minutes. In a live stream your app is broken if it cuts out for 5 minutes.

In bit torrent, everyone can divide the work - clients try to download the part of the file the least number of people have, quickly rare parts of the file spread everywhere. In streaming everyone needs the same piece at the same time.

Bit torrent punishes people who dont contribute by deprioritizing sending stuff to peers that freeride. It can do this on the individual level. In a p2p streaming setup, you probably have some peers getting the feed, and then sending it to other peers. The relationship isnt reciperocal so its harder to punish freeriders as you can't at the local level know if the peer you are sending data to is pushing data to the other nodes it is supposed to or not.

I'm sure some of these have work arounds, but they are hard problems that aren't really satisfactorily solved

Did you read what I wrote? You think it’s good that these are so hackable? Funny joke, not funny security problem.

State of the art is obviously a deep neural network trained for image generation/inpainting. Their inpainting mostly looks like a gradient smeared over the image. Current models can even create fine details and their problem, if anything, is being too detailed.
I would rather have deep research just be an enhanced RAG that thinks extra hard and uses many sources to answer my question briefly. Instead what I get is shallow summarisation and a hodgepodge wall of text glued arbitrarily in the form a "report" that does not usually answer my question in the prompt.

They absolutely do, it's personally happened to me. My review was rejected because I simply listed what items were included in the box, one of them being a card that offered a bribe for a positive review.
yeah thats what i said.

and that particular init process did way more than any init process ever should even before somebody had the bright idea to add "docker compose substitite" to its ever growing list of responsibilities.

you could put a word processor and games in their too if you really wanted. is that a good idea? ill leave that for the reader's judgment.
Bicycle tourists and Bikepackers generate massive amounts of online content, they can't seem to help themselves, so a great deal of knowledge and experience can be had long before any rubber has touched the open road.

A Founder's Curiosity on Micro PE: Notes, Royalties and Realities
I’m talking about literally the very first tab of the first example I. The link that was posted

It’s something like print(“foo)
An LLM is given a definition of the macrostate which creates the probability distribution, but a different definition of the macrostate (such as would be known to the omniscient being) would create a different distribution. According to the omniscient entity, the vast majority of long combinations of tokens would have zero probability because nobody will ever write them down in that order. The infinite monkey theorem is misleading in this regard. The odds of producing Shakespeare's works completely randomly before the heat death of the universe are practically zero, even if all the computing power in the world were dedicated to the cause.
You could utilize webtorrents, with a master seed, to in theory get really high scaling of content download, as one would scale peers at the same time of leetchers. Add a cordination server on top to sync timings and you should be there.
they'll just refuse the item and thus the import fee.
Tbh I've lived already through at least three different dogmas contradicting each other. Those are sometimes behaving like a fashion
Yeah, this gets even worse within EU, I luckily am probably less affected by that than you (thanks to country size differences), but when it hits me, it surely is bad.
Laws, content moderation, and moderation obligations had created an insurmountable barrier to entry to fix that. Though abolishing those hard and soft laws can't be a solution for various reasons.
That is a divisive issue.
Running MCPs on and with Fly.io
Peertube and web torrent aren't doing live streams as far as i know, just stream of pre-recorded video, which is still a lot harder for p2p than random order download, but not in the same ballpark as a livestream.

> Imagine YouTube using P2P technology, it would save lot of money spent on caching servers.

I think its money well spent.
On that point they mean anyone who isn't white, male, cis, straight, and currently able-bodied.
>I don’t have many medical issues but would happily use it for niggling things or a second opinion. This is as much to do with the weakness of medicine as the strength of AI.

This mirrors my experience with both medicine and LLM's. Most doctors from my experience are full of bias and God complex that it's actually a rational choice to use LLM's to diagnose myself.
Very unlikely in the first place, but second, that way lies far worse chaos.

Similarly, when Julius Caesar turned the republic into an empire, and was subsequently assassinated: it did not mean the empire reverted back to being a republic - rather that centuries of increasingly despotic emperors lay ahead.
It changes so fast that I never know if that's old or new and what the current state is.

They are great for getting up to average, but beyond that you end up fighting them.
Why would you offer some low quality shit from Temu for a birthday? 99 items out of 100 self destruct within weeks of use.

It is only useful to people compulsively buying clothing regardless of the quality and who will never wear twice the same thing. Disposable stuff/waste.

One would only do that to their worst enemy.

OK I am exagerrating a bit and had a handful lf decent stuff from aliexpress/wish/temu. But you can typically only order for yourself as the quality testing is non existent. It is totally unsuitable for gifts. Mechanical pieces are often out of tolerance, clothing way uglier inperson than in photo, electronic stuff can last only days or years but you have no way to know for sure, finitions in general are very bad in general.
Clear and good setup. But I just use iCloud backup. That also Works.
Thank you for that link. I knew about letters to parts of the European industry but not to universities. 7. 12. 14. and 15. are mind blowing.
Certainly the sorts of salary numbers thrown around with the likes of Google are not generally true of smaller companies, east coast companies except perhaps for some finance roles, and certainly not for IT/developer roles at non-tech companies. Nor is it true for pretty much any other STEM jobs. Doesn’t seem sustainable. I’m tempted to think that a lot of people learning CS today because it’s so lucrative are going to be disappointed.
HuggingFace is using Meilisearch, in production, on their website for a year now.
Also, a few years ago I had teams in multiple countries (South East Asia, India, Easter Europe, Western Europe, East and West Coast), all well paid (but not at FAANG levels). While their capacity was roughly similar, the West Coast ones were by far the more expensive ones, but also quite stressed out to make ends meet (buying a house, having a kid, putting them through school) compared to the other teams.

Eastern Europe was a place to find hidden gems (very cheap - but not so now), and some brilliant people (but not all of them). Western Europe was consistent, solid moderate quality at moderate costs vs US. So in line with your views
Hi, I'm the author of the blog (though I didn't post it on HN).

I'd encourage you to read up on how the podcast ecosystem works.

Podcasts are distributed via RSS feeds hosted all over the internet, but mostly on specialized hosting providers like Transistor, Megaphone, Omny Studio, etc. that are designed to handle huge amounts of traffic.

All podcast apps (literally, all of them) like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Overcast, Pocket Casts, etc. constantly crawl and download RSS feeds, artwork images and mp3s from podcast hosts.

This is how podcasts are distributed since they were introduced by Apple in early 2000s. This is why podcasting still remains an open, decentralized ecosystem.
I throw these quotes by Y. Oono into the mix because they provide viewpoints which are in some tension with those who take -\sum_x p(x) log p(x) definition of entropy as fundamental.

> Boltzmann’s argument summarized in Exercise of 2.4.11 just derives Shannon’s formula and uses it. A major lesson is that before we use the Shannon formula important physics is over.

> There are folklores in statistical mechanics. For example, in many textbooks ergodic theory and the mechanical foundation of statistical mechanics are discussed even though detailed mathematical explanations may be missing. We must clearly recognize such topics are almost irrelevant to statistical mechanics. We are also brainwashed that statistical mechanics furnishes the foundation of thermodynamics, but we must clearly recognize that without thermodynamics statistical mechanics cannot be formulated. It is a naive idea that microscopic theories are always more fundamental than macroscopic phenomenology.

The biggest issue I've seen with these is the networking limitations in a browser - there might be hundreds of seeders for a video and using a normal streaming torrent video player works well, but as torrent clients in the browser need to use WebRTC / WebTorrent, there might be just 0-5 seeders supporting it. I don't see much adoption for WebTorrents before the widely used standard Bittorrent clients support the protocol.

Planning your own IoT, edge, or digital transformation event? We'd love to join as speakers!
You can set a hotkey to disable completions, it's very useful for the 'no my little AI friend, I don't think you quite get it' situations that would lead you to spending more brain cycles discarding broken suggestions than actually coding.
That is a macOS app, not a iPhone app. But it’s a good find. Thanks.
You ordered the package, so you have to pay the fees. If you gift the package to someone, that is nice of you but they do not become involved in your purchase by that.
>There is nothing wrong with going with the consensus answer.

For most things, yes. But you don't hire experts to tell you what everyone else knows. You hire experts to give you the angle.

For example, an LLM trained on all AWS documentation wouldn't be super useful (possibly less useful than traditional full-text search), because what you really want to know is the things that AWS didn't write, the writing "between the lines", all the things that DynamoDB can't do.
My mother swears by "Goo Gone": https://googone.com/

Of course, after you use it, I would recommend to wash the cutlery.
He has a couple of nifty plugins to the LLM utility [1] so I would guess its something as simple as ```llm -t fabric:some_prompt_template -f hn:1234567890``` and that applies a template (in this case from a fabric library) and then appends a 'fragment' block from HN plugin which gets the comments, strips everything but the author and text, adds an index number (1.2.3.x), and inserts it into the prompt (+ SQLite).

Aliexpress also changed a lot there. I'm not sure if it goes for all vendors, but my last purchases have been very fast. Some even shipped from Europe, but even if from China the wait time of several weeks did not happen anymore.

I assume they made a similar change.
Anything that has skin contact like rings, clothing, toys, etc. I wouldn't but form Temu/AliExpress. That's where I draw the line.
Project T0 Stardust – The First 3D-Printed Tennis Racket
What’s non deterministic there?

That “probability distribution” is just a mathematical function assigning numbers to tokens, defined using a model that the person creating the model and the omniscent entity know, applying a set of deterministic mathematical functions to a sequence of observed inputs that the person creating the model and the omniscent entity also know.
> the security aspect

It’s not a systemd-specific thing, but systemd makes it relatively easy to drop privileges (like network in this case), whilst also allowing socket-activated services to be configured easily. You can probably achieve the same thing with inetd + network namespaces (I think this is what systemd uses under the hood)
It’s random dice throw. On average Trump has shot US in both feet unnecessarily.
Another protocol... Fuck me.
In comp sci it’s been deterministic, but in other science disciplines (eg medicine) it’s not. Also in lots of science it looks non-deterministic until it’s not (eg medicine is theoretically deterministic, but you have to reason about it experimentally and with probabilities - doesn’t mean novel drugs aren’t technological advancements).

And while the kind of errors hasn’t changed, the quantity and severity of the errors has dropped dramatically in a relatively short span of time.
I tried vibe-coding some non-trivial code. It failed successfully.

The resulting code had a memory leak (from good old Promise.race) that would have caused the app to continuously grow the RAM usage.

I decided to let the AI code, and then asked it to fix the problems, describing the issue (steadily growing RAM usage). It was not able to find the issue.

That's what I'm afraid of. We'll get megabytes of code that just fails sometimes, for unfathomable reasons.
>I just find it very easy to distinguish between a case where someone followed reasonable rules and got an outcome they didn't like, versus a case where someone found absurd rules - clearly not intended by anyone - and exploited them for an undeserved gain

I think you overestimate how easy it is to distinguish between these two. A reasonable common example is people like Bernard Marantelli exploiting lotteries. The lottery does not intend for people to play as Marantelli does. You can (and people do) argue that he's stealing money, but should he go to jail for playing the lottery in a way "not intended by anyone"? I don't think so.

It's the same with card counters at a casino. The casino can throw card counters out because they can decide who plays at their establishment, but it would be unreasonable to jail card counters for playing blackjack in a way casinos don't intend.

>If you see a case where someone exploits a badly-coded computer program to take a hundred million dollars from someone

This phrasing removes relevant context to the point where it no longer represents what actually happened.

>refuses to return any of it (...)

I did not comment on any of this at all.

>I don't see how to actually reason with you

This is dismissive and denies my ability to be convinced by reasonable arguments. It is insulting, even if it's not intended that way.
I use python for serving my local static site development with this custom little bash wrapper script I wrote:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e; [[ $TRACE ]] && set -x

port=8080
dir="."

if [[ "$1" == "-h" || "$1" == "--help" ]]; then
echo "usage: http-server [PORT] [DIRECTORY]"
echo " PORT Port to listen on (default: 8080)"
echo " DIRECTORY Directory to serve (default: .)"
exit 0
fi

if [ -n "$1" ]; then
port=$1
fi

if [[ -n "$2" ]]; then
dir=$2
fi

python3 -m http.server --directory "$dir" --protocol HTTP/1.1 "$port"
it has, webRTC did this.
The resistors to your local store have to go through logistics as well. And doing the last mile yourself is a lot more inefficient than a post service doing it.

Transport is also quite small fraction of most products' environmental costs.
When I saw the name, I immediately thought of https://omnomchocolate.com/
One of the things I think is amazing is that people will say “here’s a way to make the world better” and others will react with “it’s so sad that you propose making the world better instead of making it perfect”. I think it’s great.
What jumps out at me is the paragraph: "Governance and leadership reforms." in the original letter sent by the government to the university.

The other stuff is hard to make sense of, but this part is crystal clear: The authoritarian government is asking the university to restructure itself along more authoritarian lines. ...essentially Trump wants continuity of reporting lines ultimately leading up to him, and going down to the individual faculty member, student, and foreign collaborating partner. That sort of thing could come in handy for all kinds of things in the future, not just the silly demands of the present.
