Relatedly this came up in a recent discussion I had with someone about plastic straws. Metal straws are more dangerous (stories of impaling the rough of one's mouth, to worse "accidental lobotomies from underneath"), glass straws are inconvenient to carry without breakage and underperform in drinking situations where flexibility is handy. Plastic straws hit a very sweet spot of performance and function fit, the biggest problem of them is that their "cheap as free" ubiquity has created the mindset that they are disposable single use items. For the most part they are no less cleanable and reusable than what we are seeing of metal and glass straws, it's just the deep old psychological trick that they are cheap and disposable keeping them cheap and disposable.
That is one example, but there are lots of types of concrete building materials that have significant advantages over brick for various applications.
What can any packet inspection do over https, since that's where the majority of the important traffic is,not to mention that a lot of apps use certificate pinning, so even MITM can't help analyse the packets. And all this is before eSNI becomes mainstream.
Article is good on clarity, but a little light on solutions for the "service-wrapping" problem. Maybe that was outside of the article's scope. But it does seem like a problem we have yet to solve. Many have tried, but the ones that attempt to switch their license to stop Amazon from eating their lunch then see their popularity plummet and the major distros kick the software out of their repos.

It's a big gamble, and I imagine most product developers don't wish to alienate the FOSS community unless they feel their survival is at stake, so perhaps this is where the FOSS community needs to step in and provide better guidance.

This sounds less like “publishing a book” in the traditional sense and more like “becoming an education and training entrepreneur.” (Which is fine if you enjoy that kind of thing, but seems like the book part is only a tiny % of the work involved.)
Companies aren't altruistic, their only purpose is to provide value to shareholders. That doesn't mean this is a greasing, it could just be google wanting more people connected to the internet so more people use their products.
That quote was not quite the positive way I wanted to start my week, but wow. Very accurate.

Also curious about your experience building/selling an ML product. Because that's the dream :-)
This is really cool! The only other similar thing I know of is WASMer's extension (which only supports Rust atm I believe):

https://github.com/wasmerio/postgres-ext-wasm

One question though: If you built and compiled an extension with this, how would you deploy it on top of a Postgres Docker image?

I see instructions for installing and testing locally, via the cargo command, but couldn't find anything on this.

Does it spit out a static asset that you put in the project folder, and copy over during the build pipeline? Something like:

FROM postgres:12-alpine
COPY ./my-rust-extension /some/container/directory
RUN install-command-here

I don't know where you are, but in my country I paid the equivalent of 4 cents for DS18B20. I hook it up to my multipurpose Raspberry Pi and I use it to measure my room temperature. I bought 2 of them, for redundancy reasons when lockdown started. The other one is still in original package.
Great to hear, Samuel! Well done!
Funny, I hear so many people assert that serifs are worse for readability, and that this has been 'proven'. It seems unlikely that such a thing could be proven across the entire population, if a decent chunk of those people (including you and me) state a preference for serifs.

Ask HN: German eng'd privacy first social network – what would you expect?
It seems like there is a window of opportunity with all the hate building up around facebook and it's privacy problems.
I've been thinking about building a privacy first German engineered simple social network. Think facebook / instagram v1 without all the bells and whistles. Friend focused, no brands. Discovery via address book. Chronological timeline. No dark patterns (withholding likes etc). Verification via small ($1) initial payment (no bots).

To kick-start content I've been thinking about using human curated feeds per special interest group (like HN).

What would you expect from this, what would your concerns be?

This is a perennial quant strategy. Buy the names likely to be included into the index, short those that are likely to be dropped.

And the answer is that arbitrage has mostly wiped out the premium. The average gain (loss) on being added (removed) to the index has steadily decreased since the 1990s[1].

On Linux (not sure if other OSes have this) a more lightweight solution would be to put the VPN in a network namespace; e.g. https://github.com/slingamn/namespaced-openvpn

Also handy if you want to do work stuff on a company VPN without letting the employer see all network access.
Jokes on you, my ISP has double NAT and I'm pretty sure 1000s are sharing my IP. Good luck finding what I download.

When I say that he's not saying that "intelligence is immaterial" I mean literally that he is not saying intelligence does not arise from material processes.

Equivalently, when he says a miracle happens, it is not the same thing as saying "miraculous intervention is required to endow programs with intelligence". He is saying that current and near-term machine learning techniques are not capable of scaling exponentially self-accelerating, godlike, incomprehensible superintelligence, not that no program ever can reach intelligence.

> There is nothing miracle about something that rose multiple number of times.

It is ridiculous to imply he believes that based on his statements or even just that passage in isolation. That would ignore -and take for granted as true- the many assumptions required for a singularity-like event besides the ability to create artificial intelligence. These include:

1. That our techniques are anywhere near reaching the general intelligence of a human

2.That that intelligence can be capably run on existing hardware, which presumes cognition does not rely significantly on processes happening within neurons, only between them

3. That the intelligence of a human, given the understanding of itself and ability to modify itself, would be capable of making improvements that would compound to a significant degree; if you presume intelligence takes off exponentially then unless you're already smart its hard to add much more

4. That intelligence isn't effectively limited by single threaded performance

5. That the ability to think can unlock all the wonders of the universe, and simply being sufficiently smart will allow you to infer the tremendous amounts of hidden state and randomness that dictate life.

If any of those extremely reasonable things fail, the singularity takes millions of years or is simply impossible. Expecting the singularity within the next millenia isn't just faith in all the above, it's faith that all the above is so true that the process happens in less than a decade. It is fanatical.

It's astonishing to me that people believe that Steve Jobs was unlikeable or that Elon Musk is unlikeable.

These are people who have consistently been able to recruit, hire, and retain a lot of very high-performing people... the kind of people who can choose where to work. And as leaders, they have been liked and admired by the vast majority of their staff, and millions of customers and fans.

Furthermore these are people for whom being popular is incredibly important, and they have spent a tremendous amount of energy on it. Steve Jobs was famous for how much personal time he put into marketing, press relations, and his own personal brand. Same with Elon Musk, which is why he is so active on Twitter, for example.

Were they nice to every single person they ever met? No, and sure, that's good advice: don't feel like you need to suck up to everyone. But IMO that's very different from the idea that one should strive to be unlikeable.

PLENTY of people are unlikeable already, with not much to show for it. What made Steve Jobs and Elon Musk remarkable was that they were right so often, about complicated and important things. So: maybe we should instead strive to be more right about things that matter.
Does Rust give you compile-time guarantees around not crashing? I thought any function could panic without so much as a peep from the compiler.
>Changing one’s license is in general not a great idea. When somebody uses your software, they need to be able to trust they can use it in the future under the same terms.

IANAL, but I think this is wrong. Unless the license stipulates that the terms can be changed by the licensor, then the licensee only has to abide by the terms from when they agreed. The GPL goes out of its way to make it possible to use licenses from before what's currently available:

>If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

I don't literally see my deps compile. It's just that compile time gets slower. (I wonder if it's related to the linker?) Is that still a bug? Would be happy to report it if so.
I am not an architect, and I've dreamed of building a new city for most of my life (I'm 43 now).

I tried to build a startup to address this desire in 2017. We ended up building something different, hopefully useful but far away from my initial dream. [0]

I recently decided to give it another try [1], and applied to the "Apollo Projects" program [2] just a few days ago. Hope to hear from them soon :)

Edit: forgot to add one comment: tall (20+ stories) buildings are actually NOT the best way to have good density and "livability" of a city center.

It's a long discussion, but just look at the monsters that Le Corbusier (Radiant City [3]) and others tried to build in the past. Almost unanimously, architects and engineers agree today that these are not the right paradigm to build a city.

Great additional reads if you're curious: "Pattern Language" by Christopher Alexander, and "The Death and Life of great american cities" by Jane Jacobs.

> "It would also help if it were much easier to bring and win private antitrust suits, so that we don’t have to rely on inept government enforcers."

the examples enumeration is good information, but to me, this quoted bit would have been a better jumping off point for an article.

what are the precedents and barriers to private antitrust suits?

monopolies are a scourge and a bane to free markets.
Lack of adoption of AVX-512 would be Intel's own issue. If they wanted it to succeed, they would try to put it on more chips than just the few lines you mentioned. As it currently stands, Intel is setting up AVX-512 to fail by only putting it in so few products.
I didn’t see that. That’s worrying. Any idea if they’re related to Brave, by any chance?

Nope, not related to Brave, but there maybe conversations soon to add Runnaroo as one of the default search options in Brave.

Zero days also aren't malware necessarily. Zero days are usually bought and sold by those that use them to create malware they don't sell (to keep the 0day secret).

Paid malware isn't all necessarily low quality, but most of it out there is. If you want something high quality I'd imagine you wouldn't see the listing for a particular malware that is high quality, but for someone who can write something high quality. Something custom developed will always be less detected than something being traded around.
Not sure why you got downvoted. I think Tesla is a great company, but these valuations suggest they're going dominate transportation in a way no car manufacturer ever has.

Even if that is possible, which I'm not sure it is, the future is uncertain and the stock should have significant discount to reflect that.
I remember getting an abuse warning from Hetzner as one of our employees was seeding (legal) files via a p2p file sharing framework (IPFS I think?) and the client on his machine sent out broadcast and port scanning requests over the VPN into our Hetzner infrastructure. Hetzner is quite nice in that they dont' immediately block your servers, other providers are less lenient though and such stuff can quickly get your infrastructure to be taken down, especially if you're not an "important" customer of your hoster. I think after you reach a certain scale you can't stop this from happening easily, so it's good to either block such stuff via the firewall or have good audit logs.

I tried to use clang to compile some NDK code on Android and the resulting binary segfaulted. I tracked it down to what appeared to be a bug with register spilling. The fix was to use gcc and hope the clang bug was eventually fixed.

Counter-counter argument.

Fire can be produced by nearly anyone with a bare minimum level of competence and coordination required (flint and steel, two sticks and a string, various other methods). A car or college education cannot be provided by a person to themselves. They are reliant both on the thing to participate in society, and on society in order to obtain the thing.

It's funny how "Blackbody" and "blacklist" can be seen as a problem, without ever questioning the application of black and white to people, who are normally neither black nor white. I suppose "coloured" was intended to remedy this, but it's fallen out of favour.

FYI - blackness has always had negative connotations in the same way darkness has: it's associated with the night, and not being able to see. I'm sure these sentiments are universal, and existed in the west before the influence of race.
You can make use of a lot more than 32 registers, but not with existing RISC or x86 instructions. If I remember correctly EPIC had global registers like your normal RISC, local registers like SPARC and support for batch renaming registers to implement software pipelines. Software pipelining can make use of a lot of registers and exploit the high IPC EPIC was supposed to provide. Still an ISA that avoids the pipeline prologue and epilogue could make software pipelining useful for a lot more algorithms ... in theory.
I love Tesla, SpaceX and Elon (as a visionary) but don't understand the valuation. I remember when we (most of us) all laughed at this $420/share buyout valuation, because it was so far from reality...and now it's trading nearly 4x that, in less than a year...on really no real news outside of hitting production numbers. The fact that Tesla is now bigger than Toyota is absolutely bonkers to me. Toyota isn't that far behind the curve.
Before I get downvoted to oblivion - a lot of good people worked on that feature because it was their job, presumably some women, and I'm sure they brought passion and creativity to the endeavor, even if it was a dumb management decision. I guess HN approves of telling those people that their work should die a painful death.

Don't they have a complex, coded level system?
I'm not sure I'd say the SSG is the only difference. Squarespace et al target non-technical users directly, so most of the code is abstracted away (which makes anything outside of the rails virtually impossible to edit). primo is first and foremost about enabling developers to build a static site without having to do the Tailwind/PostCSS/etc. setup while also getting a CMS so they can hand it off to a non-technical user.
Could you explain what Bezmenov is right about? It's not clear from your comment. What was the subtle way the USSR would weaken the US?
I find it amusing, er, ironic, er, amusing -- that after this article, on the same web page, there's a link/blurb which reads:

"Nvidia is worth more than Intel for the first time in history. Nvidia is now worth more than Intel, according to the NASDAQ. The GPU company has finally topped the CPU company's market cap (the total value of its outstanding shares) by $251bn..."

Well no surprise there.

On the one hand, Intel (especially early Intel employees) should be thanked, profusely, for giving us PC history as we know it today.

On the other hand, we should seek to honestly recognize what Intel has become today.

A mega-corporation, driven by corporate mentality, which always seeks to maximize profits for their shareholders at the expense of all other virtues.

Keep in mind I am not criticizing Intel's employees -- only the marching orders that come from the top down.

But, as far as I can tell, Intel, as we know it, will not be around in another 30 years.

The future of semiconductors is in the following areas:

1) Simple, non-proprietary instruction sets (RISC-V and others)

2) Transparent (or as transparent as possible) and publicly auditable engineering and manufacturing processes

3) Conscientous companies that place virtue first, and are not driven by maximimizing profits for shareholders

So on the one hand, Intel is to be thanked, lauded, praised for its role, especially its early role in the beginning of the PC revolution, but on the other hand, I don't see Intel existing as company more than 30 years from now...

Although, at that point in time, Intel's past role will always remain important and relevant -- to future students of early computer history...

Great question; index funds rarely carry the entire portfolio of 500 securities - it's very expensive to manage that much stock at scale and rebalance each one.

What they do instead is hold a limited portfolio of 10, 50, 100 stocks from the S&P500 that best "represent" the index.

Technically Tesla is already in the S&P500; the real question is whether index fund managers are going to decide to start using it in their representation of the index.

The other commenter is also correct. There are many ways to hedge in favor of or against a stock issue becoming indexed by S&p500 funds in a way to dampen the impact of people trying to 'front-run' (although it's not actually frontrunning in the legal sense)
Completely agree, Tesla's stock has a bus factor of 1. I do believe it's made a big enough push already to spark the change to clean energy, and that's what really matters here.
How does it support itself financially?
> If all groups of k people had the same age, then everyone in G except P would have had the same age. That is a true proposition ('false => true' is true)

The logical formula is right but the premise is wrong. But 7 is considering both.

It's like saying "Person P had 1Mi dollars and got 10% interest last year then now Person P has 1100k dollars". But Person P didn't. The interest calculation is correct, but the premise is wrong.

> The greater point of the excersise is to show a failure mode of an inductive proof.

I see that, but the fact that the other steps are not contributing to the solution makes it harder to argue that the mistake is there. Because that statement needs a qualifier, but it is "not wrong" per se (it's not even affirming anything, it's just saying "pick the person you haven't picked (from a group that might not have anyone else to pick, fair enough)

But everything derived from a false premise can be false. That's how we get the proofs by contradiction, right? We keep going down the wrong path until it obviously blows up

Or we could just prove this whole problem false with a set of two people in Canada with different ages (counterexample to Step 5). Case closed.
