Good point - I was thinking that 'operators' were trusted though, potential threat is the (ab)users of the running software.

As far as I can tell, as long as there is no service/ingress on the privileged container, and a netpol blocks those that do from accessing it, it's less than ideal but 'ok' that this privileged container is running behind the scenes.
It's also an homage to a very short but non-haiku poem by William Carlos Williams:

After reading this thread, everyone convinced me there are good arguments for having different levels of metrics. I think we can better understand the problem if we introduce the word "priority".

Priority is always the customer. The focus can change given the circumstances and the context of each issue. Sometimes the focus must be high-level, sometime it requires a low-level focus, but the priority is always the customer.

What a crock of shit.

Sedentary? So you think you’re going to legislate exercise? Let me tell you what’s sedentary: helpless urban dweebs ordering dinner from Postmates, who’ve never mown a lawn or used a table saw or planted a garden. Pasty-handed yuppies who call for help at the slightest adversity instead of learning to fix things themselves.

Racial and economic segregation? HOW? By not reducing EVERYONE to a cow parking herself in a pathetic stall every night, chewing on the processed feed from the overpriced corner specialty food store?

Anti-social? I know more about the suburban neighbors I grew up with than I do about people in my urban apartment building. Don’t project your antisocial behavior on everyone else.

Materialistic lifestyle? Fuck you. I want to grow vegetables and fix my own car. Too bad if you’re threatened by that, urban dandy.
30% of a $5 app that they found through the app store? Yeah maybe

30% of a $50/month SaaS service just so a client can have a mobile front for something they mostly use on a desktop? Surely that's ridiculous
I've been running a gen 8 microserver with a 4C/8T Xeon for the past few years. The servers got cheap like <£200 and the Xeon was used from eBay for not very much, IIRC £100. Stuck in a cheap 8GB ECC stick of DDR3 to bring the total to 12GB and it currently runs NixOS.

I still haven't found anything with a comparably convenient form factor and the remote management is pretty useful too. Can still saturate my 1G LAN, more or less, with Samba. Other than the power draw, which I'm sure would improve with a more modern CPU, I haven't really felt the need to upgrade.

- Not delay improvements in fuel efficiency standards

- Continue to allow California to set more rigorous standards

- Not open up wast swaths of the coasts for oil drilling

- Not levy 30% import tariffs on foreign solar panels

FMA on BF16 uses FP32 for the accumulator for accuracy reasons, but you can have instructions for "Rm = Rm + low(Rn) * low(Rp)" and "Rm = Rm + high(Rn) * high(Rp)", and they can be faster than FP32 "Rm=Rm+Rn*Rp" because there are fewer bits in the mantissas.

Also, converting BF16 to FP32 and back is just a vector shuffle that sticks/drops 16 extra mantissa bits at the end of each FP16 value, so it's cheaper than other floating point conversions. This means that even if you occasionally have to escape to FP32, the overhead is low and you keep all of the memory bandwidth benefits.

I‘ve come to the conclusion that planting trees is probably the best strategy in the short term. While there‘s obviously limited space to continue that forever without advanced strategies such as BECCS, it’s a super safe and extremely scalable option (drones!) with lots of other benefits that would give us a massive head start for the next 10-20 years until we figure out how to scale CO2 capture.

There’s only one app store for Apple device and Apple fought tooth nails to ban jailbreking and forbidding any other app store like system.

There’s only one extensive app store for android and Google forced it down the throat of any maker that wanted Google’s service libraries which tons of apps learned to rely on.

Platform owners have been playing dirty in a lot of aspects, I think it’s game for service owners to find workarounds or get out of paying a cut to Apple or Google.

Refactoring Legacy Code (2014)
Correct, GPUs can do SGD iterations much much faster once the data is in GPU RAM. But if you have a ton of data relative to compute, you might be better off with a shallower model and/or fewer iterations. Here’s one start-up serving these sorts of projects: https://www.memverge.com/

When GPUs kickstarted deep learning research in 2012, people had already studied shallow models on mapreduce for a decade or so. Once NVME / Optane and modern CPUs get 1-10TB of useful “memory” in the hands of grad students, there should be another wave of new research. To date, my experience has been that 1TB of “memory” is only commonly available in industry.

> It is the same with deep technical debt, change only comes after major outage and enormous loss.

I so wished that were true. But there are - unfortunately - plenty of examples where even that does not make any difference. Improvement starts with knowing that you can do better and how to do better, upper management can be quite clueless and usually people that have some mobility will have left the company long before such a crisis hits. The people responsible tend to want to do better but do not know how, even when given the resources.

This sort of organizational dis-functionality is more common than you might think.

Given our disastrous track record with any sort of environmental engineering, I don't think this is a good pandora's box to open.

Also, any plausible form of geoengineering still requires carbon emissions to be reduced to 0 as soon as possible. Since that is known to be within our technical capacities, and known to be safe, it still seems like the first step that we must dedicate our energies to.

> So why do we bother with all that coding style stuff if we could make an IDE that edits the program itself instead of text? (I get that text is a universal format, but that doesn't mean we have to edit it directly.)

A huge benefit of text is that if you learn to read code, you already know how to edit it too. This is because of WYTIWYS: What you type is what you see.

Higher level edits and refactoring are awesome, but when you just start using the environment you can't learn all the refactorings yet, while you only want to enter something similar to the code you saw on the whiteboard in class etc. WYTIWYS makes it easy.

Historically, many attempts at structural or projectional editors didn't adhere to WYTIWYS. I believe that this is a major reason for why they haven't gained popularity.

But recently there are several projects developing projectional editors which do adhere to WYTIWYS!

One is Lamdu (http://www.lamdu.org) (btw I'm one of its developers). In Lamdu we try to create a programming language with a friendly projectional editor which does adhere to WYTIWYS and also offers awesome unique features that projectional editors enable. (for more information see our short videos - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgvPEOFglvS4_ZEHi-PEctQ )

Another projectional editor adhering to WYTIWYS is Jetbrains MPS (https://www.jetbrains.com/mps/) . This one isn't limited to a single programming language! It is a general purpose language workbench.

It’s potentially worth noting that downvoting over disagreement is considered in-line with the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17996858
> it’s strictly limited to only being able to compute x/y when |x|>|y|. Anything else, you get garbage, including in the y=x

I think it's literally just to keep the math circuit logic very simple, it'll be identical to MOD (just need to look at the remainder register) and |x| <= |y| will either require some hackery to convert it (with an appropriate test) or the machine having some idea of non-integer numbers.

For implementation of division, you could have the circuit equivalence of:

uint div(x, y){
uint t = x; //temporary (don't want to touch x)
uint c = 0; //counter
while(t >= y){
t = t - y;
c = c + 1;
}
return c; //remainder is in t
}

Not sure about the x == y case though.

Of course there would be no checking, hence the garbage out when you misuse it. Your checking would be done manually.

At first, after reading the comments and before reading the article, I thought everyone was just casually bashing because of change. But just look at this :

def fun(a, b, /, c, d, *, e, f):

or

print(f'{now=} {now=!s}')

and guess what it does before actually reading the article.

Worst, the rationales of the PEPs are weak, presenting improvement for "performances" or enforcement of API because of low level stuff as C.

Back when I was 18 years old, Python was high level, rules were simple with only one way of doing things and performances weren't a concern, because you would just use the right language for the right task. There was no enforcement and you could always hack a library to your liking. Python now is getting closer to what Perl looked to me 10 years ago, trying to optimize stuff it shouldn't
No, the point is that you have the choice of making real sacrifices, getting something that is objectively worse than what you could afford if you spent every single cent that you have and then some. (That’s true at every income level, anyway, not having a mansion in the Hamptons is “objectively” worse than having one.)

Eating chicken today and saving so you can eat chicken in the future may be a better idea that eating prime rib and starving if you lose your income.
So, nothing about the 2010 claims, but something maybe, not sure what, back in 2002? Only two remote holes in a heck of a long time!
That's actually a really good question. It does make me question the hypothesis, which is essentially, is the entropy any different to a lifeless planet just re-radiating solar energy. The answer is probably, not in the long term. You may be able to use the principle to determine what stage intelligent life is in though? If we were talking plants only, the re-emitted radiation would be expected to be reduced, as it is bound up in the growth. But our species is now expending that, so at this moment, solar re-radiation we would expect to be above lifeless levels.
Opioids: Crisis worsened in view of officials unwilling or unable to stop it
I cannot really tell you about asymmetrical speeds because in the country we leave now almost all fiber connections are symmetric.

The main thing use to be the dynamic IP assignation, which can be solved using some services like no-ip or using Cloudflare API to update a DNS periodically.
I would not stay at a company that expect me to work next to people who are sick. The only exception is if I worked at a hospital and then I would enter the job knowing the risk and also expect the extra vaccination and procedures which is involved when you work with people that are sick.

If people feel they want points for work ethics, do bookkeeping or other stay-at-home activity. Answer emails. Spreading a virus and infecting people is unethical and a company policy that demand that of employees is indeed inhumane. It is also counter-productive which is why only companies that can easily and cheaply find replacement employees can do it.
I don't look at the well-architected framework as "the AWS way is the best way of doing things" but rather "this is the best way of doing things on AWS".
Although not a popular word these days, but what about tariffs?

If First World Country A sees Emerging Market Country B as major contributor to global climate change (affecting A) it could impose tariffs on goods from B.

It could be argued, that B’s products were unfairly subsidized by B having no environmental restrictions (from energy production and worker’s health to waste disposal etc).

Of course tariffs also hurt A’s citizens - but I’d consider it a fair deal: A’s people pay a price for being convinced that climate change needs to be tackled.

At least - considering how climate policy is usually a first world issue while those same countries are only contributing small fractions to world’s share of emissions (ex. USA) - it seems odd that those First world countries usually directly punish their own citizens (that have limited impact on climate change) instead of the main polluters in emerging markets.
They probably include the value of companies like FB and Google whose primary product relies on third party data. Other than that, I doubt data brokerage is worth more than a couple of billions, at most.
Ask HN: Best way to turn design into code?
A designer has given us a PDF and PNG of the designs for a new website. Which is the best service to turn that design into code? We’ll have a developer tighten up the designs, but a service that gets the process started would be great.
Neither of those sentences is judgemental.
It's still pretty lame that you're asking for coffee on that page.
cheapest way is to sign up with a dynamic DNS service like http://freedns.afraid.org/ - choose a subdomain you like. Then run an agent on your server to monitor when/if your public IP changes - it will send the new IP to the dynamic DNS.

If you'd prefer a paid option that uses your own domain, then some providers like Digital Ocean expose DNS settings via API. Here's a google search to get you started: https://www.google.com/search?q=dynamic+dns+host+for+digital...
Record low perhaps? Yeah it isn't clear here.
Burning down the entire world's vegetation would result in less carbon emissions than we've already emitted. It's actually a pretty mind blowing fact.

http://www.futureearth.org/blog/2018-jan-31/how-much-carbon-...

> Trees and other vegetation are the planet’s carbon storage closet – absorbing and releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in an ongoing cycle. But just how big is that potential? A study from December has calculated that the world’s vegetation, from Amazonian rainforests to Eurasian grasslands, may hold about 450 billion tonnes of carbon today.

https://www.co2.earth/global-co2-emissions

> From 1870 to 2014, cumulative carbon emissions totaled about 545 GtC. Emissions were partitioned among the atmosphere (approx. 230 GtC or 42%), ocean (approx. 155 GtC or 28%) and the land (approx. 160 GtC or 29%).
So happy to see this happening in Kenya. While still not enough capacity to really move the needle on the prices [1] and really make larger-scale manufacturing possible, it's a step in the right direction

Show HN: Learnawesome.org – Discover the best learning resources on any topic
Hi HN,

Over past few months, some of us had been collecting links to learning resources (courses, interactive explorables, books, podcasts, apps, forums, livestreams etc) in a GitHub repository of markdown files. Since we also wanted to have features like advanced search ("Show me podcasts on machine learning which are entertaining and less than 40 minutes long"), we felt the need for an app. Give it a try: https://learnawesome.org

You can think of LearnAwesome.org as a GoodReads-equivalent tool generalized to links to ALL media (not just books). Some features you might like:

- Advanced search on topics, formats, length, and quality tags (interactive/visual/challenging/entertaining etc)

- A browser extension to show reviews on your current tab or quickly add it to LearnAwesome

- Automatic data extraction for links from GoodReads etc.

- Embeddable widgets so that you can show off your learning activity (such as books read) on your personal websites

- Random item (which can also be restricted to your favorite topics)

- A point system for contributors

Coming soon:

- Topic-specific chat rooms to find fellow learners

- See recommendations only from people you follow (i.e. unidirectional graph)

- Connections across items to discover whether an author of a book or a teacher of a course has also presented the same ideas in a video, or an article - saving you time.

Do expect a few rough edges here and there, but feedback is very welcome.
