I'm not sold on Fuchsia. The UI harks back a little too much to Java native look-alike widgets which always fell in the uncanny valley for me.
How about just stopping the pregnancy ads? Why does it suddenly have to be serving ads about stillbirth?! Maybe just go back to serving pre-pregnancy ads, or ads about something else....or maybe just no ads at all, for a welcome respite?
Who is the author of Master Algorithm? There is a few similar looking books on Goodreads.

Although the majority of Fuchsia was written in C++, some of it does include Rust[0].

So this is something like mtail [1], with the ability to also drill down into the raw logs, and integrated into Grafana? Sounds great!

We're heavy users of Grafana, Graphite, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch, and while the latter started in a BI role it's expanded to take on pretty much anything we can throw at it. However, there's still tons of system and service logs we're not gathering yet, because the effort to get them to Elasticsearch and store/maintain them is not worth it, especially since the value is not always clear until well after the pipeline is set up.

I'm definitely excited to see what loki can do for us, and just upgraded one of our test Grafanas to nightly to start playing with Explore, looks great!

In the UK, insider trading as a crime is understood to be trading on non public information no matter who you are. IMO it’s a law which only penalizes UK domiciled investors. A foreign hedge fund can make an inside trade on the UK market, in the US say, by dealing off-exchange with a bank-counterparty in the UK and abroad. The bank-counterparty can just unload the other side of the trade with a UK client. The bank-counterparty, with no knowledge of the motivation of the trade, has done nothing wrong. The foreign hedge fund has done nothing wrong. The UK investor is the patsy, fooled into a sense of confidence by a law that can’t be enforced. But all this is moot for currencies because I think they are completely unregulated. FX is where the big sharks hunt.
> The savvy prediction of events exogenous to a company’s operations is very much not insider trading.

So asking a representative subset of Tesla’s employees what their numbers are going to be prior to reveal is not insider trading? If that’s the case then I need to start gathering fundes enough to pay them for the info and make a huge bet.
3 GiBs of virtual space can get exhausted pretty quick, particularly when working with large files or a lot of mmaps fragmenting the virtual space. Just because a process doesn't need more than 3 GiBs of physical RAM doesn't mean it's happy with only having 3 GiBs of virtual address space.
Grover Norquist's own words:

"That’s the real reason the Left and the government class supports IRS-prepared tax returns: they want the government to be bigger, and that requires higher tax revenues. The fact that IRS tax preparation is understood by everyone to result in higher tax revenues exposes the conflict of interest that would be caused by IRS-prepared tax returns."

I like DDG, and use it, but it's mostly a pretty front end on a now-deprecated Bing API. If Bing shut down, DDG wouldn't be far behind.

I've never seen a DDG crawler in any of my logs, though I've seen plenty of Google and Bing (and others). DDG does some nice instant answer and bang stuff, but the actual deep search results are all Bing (and maybe Yandex?)

It takes a while, but it's not too bad. Even my old Atom netbook managed the build in, if memory serves, under an hour - launched the build before lunch, was done afterwards - more than what I expected for sure, but even elinks takes its sweet time.

And I believe that they might just be referring to NetSurf's memory footprint instead than its code size. It's much heavier than Dillo, but it's currently using only 118 MB with 10 open tabs.
On an emotional level, this deeply troubles me—but to address the problem analytically:

It strikes me that an ad algorithm that forces grieving people to opt out of social media at a time when their friends and family are most interested in checking in on their well-being may encourage a broader pattern of falling back on non-ad-supported communication channels in the weeks or months to come.

It seems like there's a strong case to be made here that some ad-supported communication channels should consider either an ad-free grief mode when users are in distress, or at least sell a giftable ability to use the site without ads, in which case friends of the grieving could chip in to avoid this kind of distress.

Fair play - added a correction, that statement came from discussions with our DevOps facility rather than first hand contact with Amazon, so there could be something else going on.
The correct response is not to try to advertise targeting the traumatic event, but to pivot and avoid it and related subjects entirely. I doubt people will complain if ads about babies and parenting were to disappear after a still birth or miscarriage.

Serverless is a misnomer; what’s important is that it’s provisionless.

That means you won’t have to preallocate (and pay for) resources that will go unused during non-peak load. It enables automatic scaling.

There are plenty of “serverless” offerings for computation, but very few for databases. Without the later, I don’t think it has much value.

Exactly! In fact, we're moving to use some of mtails libraries and functionality [0]. The main difference is we do centralise, scalable persistence of the logs themselves, wheres IIUC mtail just processes them and exports metrics.

I might have replied to the wrong comment by mistake because yes, we're essentially saying the same thing :)
I think it's things like this that will ultimately bring the downfall of the tech giants - the fact that even with "machine learning", the quality if the experience is still so low. They built an addictive product in the beginning, but now all of them are starting to make us feel nauseous, which is one of the fastest ways to break an addiction.

It's true here for social media (in spades), but it's true with Amazon (sorting through all the junky products, never knowing if something is genuine), Netflix (all the junky content, barely curated), and many of the others as well.

I think ultimately we will (re) learn that constant naive appeals to the lowest common denominator, while a fast way to make a buck, might not be the best long-term strategy.

This is probably off-topic, but AFAIK “the uncanny valley” refers specifically to artificial representations of humans looking “too much but not quite enough” like real humans. I’m not sure how UI elements (which don’t typically depict humans) would fall into it.

https://www.economist.com/international/2016/07/16/shedding-... which pretty much reflects my own impression. I've been curiously following this stuff since early on and the first markets were even primarly focused on stuff like psychodelics and weed.

It surely had an impact but putting it like you did sounds like stretch as well.

Personally i dont think that drugs alone backed Bitcoin. From a outside perspective there seems to be a lot more money in speculation than drugs. In fact its likely that "drug bitcoin" rather fast got turned into $ again, so bringing the actual bitcoins back to investors/platforms/the next buyer/whatever.

Plus a lot of bigger drug trade these days is professional on a level where Bitcoin isnt even necessary. I mean you basically can order all you need for XTC from Alibaba and pay with your credit card, cheap, clean & legal pre-processor products.

Hey, local news on HN! I'm glad to see Whip City Fiber is spreading so far up north. They started in Westfield (40k people), and then moved to building out local towns that are basically similar kind of "hilltowns" places that have been neglected by Comcast et al for years.

Westfield Gas and Electric has been Westfield's municipal power company for as long as I can remember, and I've heard few complaints about their management. This is not their first time providing Internet service, as they used to run a dialup ISP back in the day.

The concern about future upgrades is kind of ridiculous in context - the Verizon infrastructure here is still at the bare minimum, with no hope of ever being upgraded. I have no doubt that when the gigabit infrastructure is finally looking outdated and slow, Verizon will be sitting there offering the same "high speed" 3Mbit. That is, if they haven't convinced the feds to allow them to sell the copper for scrap.

The service itself is a lone single mode fiber, with a GPON terminal. Installation planning was done by a WG&E employee who even showed up in a bucket truck. Installation was in two parts - one entire contractor to direct bury a flexible conduit with the length of fiber, and a second contractor to complete installation on both sides of the burial. My speed tests show basically full gigabit up/down.

> I would go further and argue for direct integration of numpy into the language to achieve faster performance.

What do you mean by "direct integration" exactly and why do you think it would improve performance? I initially thought you meant for it to be part of the standard library, but I don't see why that would bring any performance benefits.
I've been really interested in a 'digital agent' model for a while now. Some profile, and/or grand set of settings that apply to all my interactions online. I interface with way too many platforms online to keep track of, this can lead to unwanted and annoying targeting similar to (but obviously on a much lesser scale) to this mother.

I recently bought a shaving kit for my future brother-in-law for Christmas, I looked up some reviews on Google and Youtube and now every Youtube video and ad is regarding this particular shaving product. This product is now following me on the web, if I were able to simply tell my 'digital agent' "hey, I'm not interested in shaving products anymore" and have my agent then broadcast this message to Youtube, Instagram, etc. I think that'd be helpful.

It’s rarely corruption as such. In a genuinely small town, you have town officials maybe making $30K per year and decisions like the one discussed here being voted on by the 10% who care enough to show up at a town meeting. Most probably hadn’t heard what was going on if there’s no town newspaper.

I don’t mean to sound bleak. I live in a small town. In general public works does a fine job. I’m not sure I’d trust them to make the right decision on and rollout broadband.
I ran a firm like this, and we had vendor badges. We weren't a "shell company", but even if we had been, the underlying idea would be the same: we W2'd our employees and invoiced our clients. We were on the hook for paying for employee downtime.

I'm responding to the claim above, about "that never being a thing they've seen", which seems silly to me because it's the basic way every staff-aug firm works.

The book had a whole bunch of additional plotting at the beginning which initially drew me in. Unfortunately, it never really went anywhere interesting - it was all mostly just dropped - so I think the movie was justified in cutting it out.

But the much bigger issue is that the story relies heavily on a kind of tense suspense/action, plus the wonder and terror of the basic premise: bringing dinosaurs back to life. But Crichton isn't particularly adept at descriptive literature, so that I thought the suspense/wonder/terror worked much better in a visual medium. This is not a case where there is something rather ambiguous best left to the shadowy imagination of the mind's eye. Maybe a different author could have pulled it off.

Actually, you can get a lot less than that once libraries are loaded and such like. I've found on some 32 bit linuxes you can't mmap a single file bigger than around 500mb, which means I couldn't check out a git repository containing 650mb cd images on a 32 bit Linux.

Boy, talk about memories. My fondest one is when we finally got a Western Telematic console server I could dial into from home to troubleshoot a down server. This instead of having to get up when the pager wouldn't stop beeping at 3am, drive half an hour to the datacenter (I use that term loosely--it was an office in a run-down office building), unplug and then plug back in the server, check that yep it's back up and running, and then drive the half hour back home.

I don't recall the details but it seems like that WTI console server used Hayes commands somehow.

> I think ultimately we will (re) learn that constant naive appeals to the lowest common denominator, while a fast way to make a buck, might not be the best long-term strategy.

That's the best case. The worst case is we've broken our attention spans and ability to interact without heavily optimized feel-good hits and get to keep both pieces. At least in politics we seem to have gone quite far down that path and I don't yet see a way out of re-learning proper discussion methods. Bright ideas are definitely needed here.
>Q: In the demo of FOVEROS, the chip combined both big x86 cores built on the Core microarchitecture and the small x86 cores built on the Atom microarchitecture. Can we look forward to a future where the big and little cores have the same ISA?

>R: We are working on that. Do they have to have the same ISA? Ronak and the team are looking at that. However I think our goal here is to keep the software as simple as possible for developers and customers. It's a challenge that our architects have taken up to ensure products like this enter the market smoothly. We’ll also have a packaging discussion next year on products like this. The chip you see today, while it was designed primarily for a particular customer to begin with, it’s not a custom product, and in that sense will be available to other OEMs.

This seems like a big issue to me going foward. The Intel fuses off various ISA features on various architectures for market segmentation reasons or just doesn't put them in in the case of Atom means that they'll have a harder time of it if they want to pursue big.LITTLE.
Also yes my boss likes me! He/she always mention the luck of having me around making the vision possible! And sometimes even complain with me about this other employee (to a point that there was a will to cut him/her loose if some issues weren't addressed asap).
In a world of machine learning and massive breaches, "security by obscurity" is ever further from appropriate in any case at all.
