Indeed. It won't be fast enough, but neither will we be fast enough stopping to emit. We have to do both.

I'm not sure it's possible to reach the goal of staying below 2°C warming anymore, but the degree to which we incur change and damage the existing ecosystems can still be limited. Seeing how little we've managed to reduce carbon emissions by, and given that there will always be some emissions, we indeed need capture methods; heck, even if it's just trees, we need something. We need some way to recapture the remaining emissions, whatever reduced amount we'll be left with in the end.

If you want to fund that sort of work today, Climeworks has a product where you can choose how many kg of CO2 you want to capture per year and pay for it. They have machines that indeed remove that actual amount for you, turning it into stone rather than something re-consumable. What they don't say is how much CO2e the building and operating of those machines emits and whether that'll be offset with said machines, but I'm happy to fund their technology either way. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way except having the subscription for about 1.5 years.)

Other than tree planting organisations (which never seem to be able to convincingly promise that the trees won't be uprooted or burned for farmland before they captured the promised amount, especially given that the offerings are usually dirt cheap), I'm not aware of any other organisation offering products for consumers, so that's also why I'm arguing for people to give Climeworks money: if there's money to be made with it, more companies will start capturing carbon.
>I would guess kWh/yr is an extension of this idea. you could use J/yr, but most people don't have an intuitive sense of how much power that is.

Just using kW for your average power usage over a year seems more intuitive to me.
Can't say whether it's "just" a hosted version of Gitea (or gitlab), but the point is, in fact, that it's hosted, doesn't track you, and can give your project a permanent URL that isn't unfamiliar to a crowd "educated" and networked to find everything on github.

Now a better solution still would be to self-host on a proper project home page.
Try ordering seeds thru Amazon? Who's looking at that?
InReach messaging was down for quite some time. It worked wed am, did not work at all after that (either sending or receiving) through mid day fri at which point sending was very spotty (messages sent to groups were not received by all group members). Appears to have improved by Friday evening but not 100% even then. Saturday 25th it seems to be working... no idea if SOS was similarly impacted but I would suspect it may have been.

I don't get why AWS refunded him, it was purely his mistake.
What Is Tor Search Engine?
how about daydreaming? does that work too?
There are better ways of fixing that than allowing nazism on Facebook
That's from Amazon's playbook. You have an item to return, you get a refund, no fuss. Sometimes they tell you to keep the item too!
I ordered some seeds off Amazon from what I thought was a local seller for a regional plant.

The seeds arrived months later, well after planting season, from Kazakhstan. The customs declaration called them plastic beads, but they were definitely seeds. I destroyed them, because I couldn't know for sure they really were what they said they were - seems unlikely a niche regional American plant would be available in Kazakhstan.

Would Australia really be able to stop these cases where they lie on the customs form?
Pure conjecture on my part: irregardless is an intensifier of dismissal. It allows the word to start with a vowel. Since (American) English requires exhortations to start with a consonant, it forces the speaker to begin the sound with a glottal stop. Initial glottal stops are markers for interjective cursing, like “‘Asshole!”
Maybe missed it, but I didn't see which plan he was using with Cloudflare, in context of his comments about their support.
I recall this being essentially the inspiration for the naming of the Wake-Sleep algorithm of Boltzmann machines.
Thanks for the details.

On the other hand, doesn't this incentivize carbon capture by making the cost of energy storage just energy?
Are folks in Siberia big fans of the 100F days and the massive wildfires they've been having this summer?
I'm not sure about the US system, but here in Norway you'd probably have a hard time getting a PhD without a masters degree - but you can get a masters degree without a bachelor degree.

I'm not sure why you'd want to try for a PhD directly - but it might be possible to get into an MSc program?
If You’re Going to Do a SaaS Startup You Have to Give It 24 Months
I would not be surprised if AWS actually allocates marketing dollars towards covering bills like this.

In the long term this is a brilliant plan because it helps prevent people from blacklisting the provider.

Imagine someone gets hit with $3k bill on their personal, feels wronged, goes to work and makes effort at their employer to move off AWS.

I don't know about most HN readers but I'd probably fall in this category and past places I've done work for were +$100k/month corporate bills with AWS.
I’ve wondered if we’d get less ire about taxes if govts allow people to directly choose how a portion of their taxes (5%?) gets allocated when they file. They could send it nonprofits for causes they care about. Given the choice of sending it into something they choose or the large centralized government black hole, more people would pick to allocate to something they care about. Carbon capture could be just one of these choices, and a lot of people care about it.
Emojis are the new <blink>.
Sorry, posting after a few drinks again...

Silly stuff like "I like wide-code-formatting, not vertical stacks with 4 characters on a line or something. (cultural)

"Too many moving parts" in almost every implementation of anything, (as in "modern" javascript/front-end frameworks and their build-toolchains) such that its built for a large corp to use lots of warm bodies to "divide et imperis".
(I can understand this with regards to Flutter, half of the complication of this cross-platform thing being Googles fault, of course. Android Studio needing it's own dedicated 32-core terabyte-ram compute cluster, naturally, and trying to find cross-platform layout containers etc without being verbose = good luck!)

Particular pain points? Let's go with some Flutter stuff, as it's arguably the primary use case folks will encounter Dart for, now that the Dart VM isn't going to be embedded in all the browsers suddenly, as was proposed at one point.

Arguably, I'm doing it all wrong, as someone will point out.
Elaborate (client-side) modeling that will only work if everything is completely fleshed out:

We have our classes, but OH let's make the state a separate object and let's basically have you haul 3 paragraphs of junk around to represent one thing and some related stuff that should probably be part of the same object...
Hey, who knows, maybe it'll be like CSS in some future revs in which you have to look for 20 class blocks extending the same class, but that's in Crystal etc, and it's raison-d-etre seems pretty established (extensibility) but it does make localization a PITAS.

...and then we have factory methods, and we can't really debug passing stuff through them until we get data, but it's not as simple as
if(this.readyState == 4 && this.status ==200) {boom, does it look like JSON? is it an array instead? what do we have here?} so there's this "build an elaborate model on the client side, but then you are basically only validating and attempting to JSON.parse whatever your (likely http) API spits out.

factory TextLine.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {}
Never mind that I have to finish tiling all model bits to pull something through and see what I have, although the flutter hot-reload helps speed things up a bit,
which you then end up pulling data through what pretends to be fancy/modern but is actually no better than the browsers HTTP XHR methods

//the future
Stream<List<Album>> fetchCards(int limit, int skip) async* {
http.Response response = await http
.get('https://mobile.somesite.com/albums/'+ limit.toString() + '/' + skip.toString() );
List responseJson = json.decode(response.body);
yield responseJson.map((m) => new AlbumCatalog.fromJson(m)).toList();

Syntax is generally fine, text is better than SVG, but somehow working with Dart makes me feel depressed, in a Javascript kind of way...
(lot's of tooling and attempts to not be what it really is underneath, hence my gut reaction to arrow functions and pretend-classes in Javascript, etc...)
Those are different things though. You can most likely write whatever you want to link to on Facebook, so they're not really censoring speech. They censor some off-platform links.
Your linked article specifically warns against subjecting the mask to prolonged sunlight exposure. In other words, don't set it out in the sun to dry. The reasoning is that the electrostatic charges of polypropylene are damaged by UV rays, which apparently makes the mask less effective.

Yet, UV rays kill the virus. In fact, a few minutes in the sun is enough to kill the virus in vapor, or on surfaces.

Maybe we need masks that are not vulnerable to UV, and thus could more easily sterilized.
Came here to say the same.

At least personally, it's the insight into human brain mechanics and new abilities to test hypotheses in this field that gets me most excited about deep learning developments, rather than the improvements in performance on various tasks.
Summary:

He published a 14GB file and one day there were 2700 downloads resulting in ~30 Terrabyte of traffic.

He had the file behind CloudFlare, but since CloudFlare does not cache files larger then 512MB, all the traffic went to his S3 bucket and Amazon billed him $2700 for that.
Interesting I'm used to megacorp life, where the AWS bill has to be really big for people to notice.

I can see how it would be helpful for startups though or for services that are providing a free tier to users.
>will force Mandarin into a more central position on the Internet, like it or not.

Not really, compare it to Spanish. China will also have to understand that the World is bigger then China, the rest of the World accepted English as THE technical language of "choice". Chinese have to learn English, like it or not.
It seems launch costs are the impeding factor right now. One approach to making it feasible would be to get good at asteroid mining.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power
In practice, both producers and consumers will pay, because demand for fossil fuels has some elasticity: higher prices mean lower sales. This yields an equilibrium at which consumers pay somewhat more, but also buy somewhat less, and producers eat some of the cost in terms of lower profits and lower value of their companies.
Making a big deal out of this on Twitter may have something to do with it.

I loathe the day when I'll have a similar problem but, as I am not a Twitter user, I won't have the luxury of getting my problems fixed.
It's better than switch for a lot of switch use cases, it's still not 'real' pattern matching but yeah I'm looking forwards to it.
I've heard good things about Bluespec. It is used for Cambridge's CHERI capability architecture extensions, for example - https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/
I think you fundamentally misunderstand what’s needed. It’s more of a science fiction cliche that life support needs immense amounts of power. The earths life support is based on solar power and that has worked out just fine for humanity. Ideally life support should be as passive as possible, and using solar power is a great way to achieve that.

PS: Orbital solar is an issue due to launch costs, and the fact most electricity is used in the daytime. Solar + battery is also getting very cheap.
Go for a midlevel dev position at a non-tech company. Manh of them will not require leetcode. You will probably need a pay cut though.
Go and Rust are two of my favorite examples. Go has a focus on minimalism and concurrency that makes backend engineering enjoyable. Rust is C without the memory problems and a decent package manager. Cool stuff for sure.
I've recently built a Go-in-the-browser course for those who want to dip their toes in https://qvault.io/go-mastery/
This assumes that there aren’t other life forms in space/planets.
But with the blunt instrument of a billing quota, how do you distinguish between traffic going 100x because you're #1 on Hacker News and everybody wants to buy your product, vs somebody pwning your VMs and using them for a DDoS botnet?
There was apparently also a bug that caused partial http requests to be counted as complete file downloads.
Making it “way too expensive and therefore uncompetitive” is exactly the thing that makes it “much easier to just stop shitting.”
Hi, right now I'm learning Go (to write an access control system for our makerspace). For me this is a pretty new language but currently at the point where I see quite large community and available libraries (wait, it is called a module, isn't it?).

Why? I love C language (static typing, you can shoot yourself in a leg == you can do almost anything, etc..), but C is not suited to write this kind of application. I also like PHP - large community, libraries, large OS systems written in it... But I miss some C features and getting bored by having dozens of dependencies for a simple project. Python - is slow (yes, can be tuned somehow, but brings more work to do) and I do not like the syntax and I miss brackets. For me, Go seems like a way to go from now on.

So, to sum it up - for me a new language is a way to solve some set of problems much easier (and sometimes more efficient and/or secure) than with an existing language. I wouldn't be happy if I had to write anything larger than hello world in assembly :)
I posted elsewhere in the thread answering my theory.

TL;DR Individual feels wronged, pushes things off AWS at their employer, AWS loses much more than $3k refund.
In the book "Why we sleep?", Matthew Walker suggests something similar. That dream sleep is fundamental in making associations. In this case, generalizing and getting rid of overfitting. He talks a bit about problem solving when sleeping and how this leads to "a-ha" moments when waking up.

This means that the idea in this paper is already "out there", contrary to what the abstract states. But it's exciting to have a framework to talk about it quantitatively.
Seems like a testable hypothesis: Prepare a "training" deck of cards with an A side and B side. Each side has a simple symbol on it. Create a second "test" deck of cards which is identical, expect each A symbol is slightly shifted in meaning (e.g. horse -> donkey). The task is to predict side B from side A.

If less dreaming leads to overfitting, we would expect REM sleep deprived probands to do better on the "training" set after learning with them and do worse on the "test" set, compared to probands without sleep deprivation.
That's a whole lot of text for "I had a 14 GiB VM image publicly linked and people discovered it", and none of it has much to do with AWS or Cloudflare.

Presumably the author would do much better with a VM or something from OVH, they'll just shut you off or limit you before it becomes a problem (not that they would care about 30 TiB).
Alternatively set the option available on S3 that pushes billing for any request and bandwidth to the requesting account: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RequesterPay...
Have you ever bought a house here? You go through a 1-2 month (minimum) process of providing financial documents from the past six months or more to mortgage originators, and no one can tell you how much to bring to closing until 24 hours before. It’s insane.
Factule, perhaps, from the unattested but regular diminutive factulum.
I am interested. Thank you very much. Out of curiosity, why LÖVE? For thr added features?
Wait, Cloudflare doesn't cache files bigger than 5GB even for Enterprise customers with custom plans? Isn't that pretty small for a CDN?

Is it possible to pay them more to increase the limit?
Sure it is! All of my network traffic is going over a VPN. Not the case with email.
It seems likely that what's happening here is some combination of:

1) Spammers using one domain and multiple sub-domains

2) A poorly calibrated ML model for spam.

It is worth noting that FB get probably the world's largest amount of spammers, fraudsters and general bad people due to the fact that they have an absurd amount of users.

Honestly, though, if this stays on HN it will get fixed, but it's deeply concerning that if this is happening a bunch of times (and it probably is) but those sites don't appear on HN, then this will not get fixed.

It's also possible that someone has weaponised the FB spam system against dreamwidth (which seems less likely to be me, to be fair).
Can anyone put numbers on the graphics? That is, assume the two people in the graphic are sitting across a dining table (1m apart) and conversing in a normal tone for an hour. What is the numerical risk of infection for the uninfected party in each case: "High", "Low", and "Very Low"? How do we know these numbers, and how confident in them are we? And how do the "High" risks cases compare to the case not shown where neither party is wearing a mask?
Warmer planet does not imply just warmer weather.

Congratz on finding the life you want!

For me the revelation after trying some of those things has been really odd. Turns out that deep down I love the grind. Any time I go on an extended optimize-for-life-lived journey (1 month +), I come back and think ”Well shit, that was an entire month I got nothing done towards everything I want to achieve in life”

That is to say, it’s important to try these things but don’t get too hung up on not having them. Maybe deep down you just don’t wanna.

But you gotta try to find out. That part is true.
There are many resources to discover mindful meditation. A trite blog article stuffed with ads, email plugs, and reseller links is not the place to start.
> but is going to be a business-ending error for any serious account

That is simply not true for every use case. We were using it for various backup jobs, until a misconfigured one racked up a big bill. This particular job was a second backup. I have no problem at all with that failing! Now I am scared to let the various engineers and consultants that make up my team use it, because I can't afford the time to check personally what they are doing.
I always used and use PHP because it gets the s$$$ done.

But truth be told, the hate is deserved. It never was a particularly efficient language, which might not matter that much, but it was riddled with gotchas, warts and horrible solutions to many technical and social problems.

Today PHP is faster than many alternatives, many of its warts got fixed, but I cannot brush off the fact that it's still based on a poorly-designed base and runtime library.

I'm still using PHP when it makes sense, in the same way I'm still using perl where it makes sense.
With today's technology, there's really no excuse for keeping governmental/political decision power away from people.

Most budget/spending and political decisions by the government should be subject to approval by the people. Everybody should have a government login and could vote through a website or app. I wouldn't mind voting once or twice per day or even more, as it would be more productive and fulfilling than social media.
Because AWS honestly cares more about having a happy loyal customer for the long term than making a few bucks in the short term. That’s why. It’s a rare mindset among large companies these days.
> The ideals of the Internet are free exchange of ideas and information, no country-specific walled gardens.

Your argument reduces to "freedom of speech" == "freedom to take and distribute personal information" (They are not equal).

Your walled gardens cherry on top only highlights the deficiencies that some countries have to protect personal information - Saying this is making the internet into walled gardens is like promoting tax evasion by using Ireland (in this case the US == Ireland, because it is deficient)
We could fix that..
InReach messaging did NOT work for quite some time. wed mid day through late Friday no send or receive at all on ours. Fri evening it was sporadic send/receive - not all messages were going through to all parties. Saturday 25th it seems to be working correctly.
It's good customer service and leads to more profit in the long-run.

If they didn't refund him, maybe he'd jump to a different provider, maybe people would see this and not sign up for AWS in the first place, etc. By refunding him, they likely keep a customer, don't scare away other potential customers, etc.
For context, the person you replied to is the author of the D language.
The tax being referred to in the case of churches is usually property taxes, which are based on property value, not profit or operations.
I suppose the word political could encompass this, but it should also be pointed out it is political in the sense of having an intended purpose for societal change. That goes beyond what most people consider politics. It could be religious, ethnocentric, ideological, philosophical, etc. Even the actions of the luddites could fall under terrorism.
If your fuel tank catches on fire you have similar problems, so I don't think these problems with hydrogen are insurmountable.

Considering that receiving "unsolicited" seeds from just about anywhere else has exactly the same risk and is entirely legal, this seems to me to be little more than anti-China fearmongering. I've been asking my local state reps to stop the sale of Callery Pear trees (which are invasive and damaging) but they have ignored me for years because the nursereys make a lot of money from them and lobby to keep them legal. Perhaps if I started pointing out that the trees are Chinese/Vietnamese in origin I might get somewhere now.
Can you point to some European hosting services that have an upfront cost regardless of usage?
This seems pretty standard to me. Could you produce an example of a language which doesn't have this behavior?

EDIT:

I think I understand your confusion. You've gotten confused because you're expecting `y = 5; let x = y` be able to hold a reference to `y` the number in the same way that `y = {}; let x = y` holds a reference to y the object. But that's honestly the behavior of practically every language I could name - numbers and other small values that can fit in a register are always copied.

You can see the referential behavior if you change your `i` to an object:

let result = []

for (let obj = {}; Object.keys(obj).length < 3; obj[Math.random()] = "hello") {
result.push(obj);
}

console.log(result); // notice all 3 entries in the array are the same

But yeah - JavaScript does nothing special in either of these cases. Similar code will get you similar results across any language I could name. The only way to get around it would be to manually mark your numeric i as a reference in a language that has them, like C/C++/Rust.
