It’s the “signing up elsewhere or using your own instance” that’s the problem. You’re joining a Mastodon server and if you want to go to another server you have to actually move things. It takes actual effort.

It seems like the Mastodon developers look at email and think “if it works for email it’ll work here” and don’t understand that people deal with email because they have to, not because they want to. I don’t want to have to change my email address when I switch providers and I don’t want to have to move all my stuff if my favorite Mastodon server decides to shut down.

That’s not a solution that’s just another problem. It’s bad user experience.

> Sometimes they will even offer you a card at the register to get you a discount (not sure why).

Because they are told to do so, to get as many customers as possible use the card. My wife automatically answers "no, we haven't got any and are not interested, thanks".

It's Pi :)
How can they validate a CPU if Intel can’t?
This is a great talk! I have to admit my first thought wasn't to the data center. Which is obviously the predominant global energy waste. But to the "local" problem of green compute for IoT / drones / autonomous systems. What's the state of the art in OS dvelopment for high efficiency embedded hardware such as Contiki, Tiny OS, RIOT, Zypher, Mbed and Brillo? And what are the major insights that are missing?
Generally, only a pretty specific mix of these will yield a beneficial result. There are inoperable tumors, there are patients that will not withstand chemotherapy, and radiotherapy of a tumor too close to a critical organ will also not suffice.

Usually these treatment options would be weighed by a board of experts from the different medical fields involved, taking into account the individual patient's constraints.

I don't really see how you come to the conclusion that there is much of a choice for a cancer patient. It's not like you can tell the tumor board "I want surgery" when that's not a clinically viable option. And it's also not like any of these options is particularly affordable - any of them will easily bankrupt someone living from paycheck to paycheck. Heck, the MRI scan alone can.

It's still pretty binary between "get reasonable treatment costing tens of thousands or die", as the other poster pointed out.
Was the culture maritime? Did the culture have their own practice or nearby examples of fermentation? Is there some specific or difficult part of the process that is unique? Does fish fermentation occur in areas with no ties to Southeast Asia or the Mediterranean? I would want to answer these questions before speculating on any possible links.

Although we have no idea how many potential crashes become near misses as a result of human intervention. For example a pilot initiating a go around in response to a runway incursion. I absolutely agree that most of those issues could be avoided with better technology. But that may require changes to all airports, all aircraft and perhaps even all airport vehicles. Suddenly every single approach is category iii, all the time without any alternative.

True, threads make things more complicated here. (In the context of this link, only wasm MVP is supported, which does not include threads.)
That's ambiguous, and unwise to be saying now in any case.

The cumulative number of deaths per million citizens is still lower than a bunch of countries in Europe, but every day the US has 10 to 100 times the number of covid deaths as one of those countries. Double or quadruple all of Europe together.

So it seems likely the US will overtake them. My (somewhat simplistic) extrapolation suggests about 4 months to match Belgium.

Brilliant! I had no idea!
We are just so bad grasping the entire chain of effects of our actions, and the environment is incredibly complex. We need massive automated testing of environmental impact; systems that surveil ground, air, biodiversity over time all around the globe and particularly near projects like dams. It's no longer possible to just shrug it off, hope the planet can tolerate it and subconsciously accept some human loss in the name of progress.

I don't know about worst tool. I would prefer to just say most expedient or accessible tool for the job. Something that you can hack together in 5 minutes that gets the spirit of the task accomplished and doesn't lock you in on something more heavy-handed.

The key with it being accessible or expedient is that you can iterate at a higher frequency. If you start with a tool that is legitimately terrible just for the sake of saving money, you may end up sacrificing more time than you otherwise would have wanted to on something slightly more expensive.

There is a balance across lots of variables here. For me, the biggest concern is turnaround time on features. In some cases, taking weeks to do it right is the best option. In others, continuing to string along the hacky approach is best. Long term vs short term concerns. It's impossible to come up with 1 rule for everything unless you want to leave a lot of productivity on the table.
Even if this is true, you still need to coordinate all of them to happen at once, so it doesn't obviate the need for an OS-level service to coordinate this at least.
And you were probably right!

Since this is HN I'd like to share something one of my friends just put together. He's used an ML module and research on the ethnic backgrounds and physical attributes of various Roman emperors as well as multiple photos of various statues to generate near-photorealistic renders of them.

They often won't show up in a timely manner in the city, either. I once called them because I had broken up a fight and one of the people involved ran back to his apartment to get a pistol and was out in the parking lot with his friends searching for me, pistol in hand.

There was a police station less than a mile away and it took them 45 minutes to arrive. No doubt they intended to let events play out however they may and then roll in and take statements, which is their only actual legal obligation.

That incident really drove home for me exactly what I'm not getting for my tax dollars.
Indeed. I'm happy to support placebo enablement.
And so are their friends.
I don't know what your definition of light is, but it just doesn't match mine, and I also actually contest the idea that it is necessarily "less light" than Android UI. They're pretty different beasts, and there's multiple dimensions to "lightweightness." What I do know is that GTK pulls in quite a lot including a CSS engine. You can certainly do UI libraries that use a lot less cycles and RAM.
Sounds interesting. Do you have a link?
I was under the impression that multiple "towing and recovery" companies drive around all the strip malls every day with lprs and give each other access to the data in order to help each other find cars to steal back for the lien holders..
In some cases the malls themselves allowed stationary cams to be setup at the entrances and used for these purposes - I think an article (in wired?) about a year ago shed light on one in california that maybe changed the cam feed relationship after pointing to a 'terms were posted' defense.

I try to remind people I see that are okay with this tech being deployed at the airport and other places - that the state spending a bunch of money 'to keep an eye out for stolen cars' is just an excuse to grab data that can later be looked at - and is sometimes given to repo men so they can take cars from people who are late on payments.
That’s a quote worthy of bash.org

tvOS and watchOS require bitcode, but yes I agree that's not major advantage compared to work required to support it.
This is amazing content marketing, similar to Backblaze hard drive stats.

It was well-written and very informative. I enjoyed reading it and learned something new and potentially useful. And it brought attention to a potential pain point (trying to train and infer models on multiple platforms) and suggested their product to help(roboflow). It got the marketing message across without being irritating or obtrusive. A win-win situation for both reader and company.

Again, great writeup. I wish more content marketing would be this engaging and useful.
The underlying problem here might as well be considered a fundamental shortcoming of pure/fundamental capitalism. I make no claims about the value of alternatives, or even if there are any (better ones, that is).

Anything that is (no longer) of commercial value will be "phased out" and dismantled/destroyed. One might still stretch it a bit, by arguing that the commercial value of something can include its future potential value. But I personally know not a single commercial companies that ever choose that over short term cost reductions and "profit optimizations".

Luckily, there are governments who acknowledge this shortcoming and build structures to compensate for it. But when governments decide to leave (almost) everything to commercial markets, then the importance of anything and everything can and will only be measured by it's commercial (contemporary) value/profitability.

People have every right to vote for and support such a system. But then don't complain, when all that you will get is only what such system supports/provides.
It's possible, but the markup is very, very messy. I made a proof-of-concept by hand a couple months ago [1], but it would require quite a bit more work to automate it. It's probably best to just wait for browsers to implement CSS Text Module Level 4, which includes a property for enabling use of better line breaking algorithms.

> Picture a few large cities with contractors running around every roof tending to solar panels and compare to a few experts at a single nuclear power plant. For the contractors-on-roofs, the slip & falls add up even though they'll never get an HBO mini-series.

Most solar power will not be distributed power, but large-scale solar power plants. All large-scale solar power plants I've read about are on the ground, which makes sense since, unlike with wind power, increasing the height of the panels on a solar power plant gains nothing.
Add me as well. Even just an automated list of commits would be better than nothing

That isn't even the major electrical cost of supporting those people. The fertilizer needed to feed them, metal refining/recycling, chemical reagent production, shipping fuel, all dwarf the usage by individuals in their homes.

Personally I don't think solar is ever feasible for industrial scale work, covering like 1/3 of your landmass is a ridiculously large project and needed to fuel industrial operations that currently use fossil fuels to fuel them including fertilizer production. Even if you can shrink that down a bit, how much of it is competing for farmland? Or replacing natural forests or plains or other wildlife housing.
> I think that the radius of a Silicon atom is about 0.1 nm. ~1 nm may be the limit of what's possible. The next nodes after 3 nm are likely going to be 2 nm and 1.4 nm.

the node names do not represent any actual measurement of the chip anymore, and have not for at least a decade. There is no measurement of a "5nm" chip that measures 5nm, and scaling is in fact largely dominated by how close you can place the transistors, not the actual transistors themselves.

With a growing number of teams using Prometheus-based observability solutions, we've seen more and more integrating Kubecost with their existing Prometheus. The majority still use our bundled offering, which is typically a little easier to setup, but many likely the flexibility to switch if desired.

As far as personal experience, I find breathing exercises should be slow and deep, generally with breath retention that is extended over time, as opposed to just deep breathing in and out at a 'regular' speed. Traditional yoga usually emphasizes this (as opposed to the new-age westernized yoga). I think many people who find no results just breathe deep but dont slow it down. You should feel like your breath has been 'stretched' by the time you're done. Id also find a good teacher if you're serious because you can definitely overdo it/do it wrong.
Agree the fish sauce itself is clearly different, but I'm less confident about the flavor profile as a whole. Maybe that's just because of the tamarind though.
> We eat too much because there is so much available to us and it's engineered (by trial and error) to be as delicious as possible.

People's reasons for consuming more calories than they expend are orders of magnitude more complex than that.
It seems like there's a fundamental distinction between systems where you control data entry (it's manually entered and you can refuse to accept data if it doesn't follow the rules, until the error is corrected) and systems where you are recording whatever you got.

In the latter case, it's often better to keep data for debugging purposes than drop it on the floor. The raw data may not conform to any particular schema, but perhaps you transform it or only use a subset of it for more advanced queries, and do something else with the rejects.

In older systems, this may be the difference between the paper form you got in the mail and what gets entered in the computer.

Refusing to accept input has implications for power relations. Who loses when data is rejected? Who gets a chance to fix it, and how hard do they try? What error messages are there and long does it take to retry?

Case study: vote by mail.
It depends on the factory, the discs and the storage. I don't often hear of audio CDs rotting but equally I don't often hear of people still using audio CDs in any large quantities. However I do hear of people buying retro games for old CD systems like the Sega Saturn and how many of those games are suffering from rot.

I'm lucky that I've not suffered any rot yet but it's only a matter of time for me because I don't store them properly either.

ITER and Commonwealth can (and in my opinion should) be seen as complimentary endeavors.

ITER has been designed with relatively conservative magnet technology and will very likely provide the physics results that need to be understood in order for fusion power to become a reality. This includes experimental tests of the physics of plasmas where the heating is dominated by high energy alpha particles rather than external heating. This is a regime that's not yet been studied in a laboratory and there is important research to be done there.

Commonwealth is pushing the envelope of high temperature superconductor magnet technology and is relatively high risk compared to ITER's magnets (and this is a good thing). Lots of ITER technology will be useful to Commonwealth even before ITER turns on. For example decisions about which low activation steels and the huge amount of physics work that's already gone into planning for ITER.

I think the most likely outcome is that both accomplish their goals and contribute to making commercially viable fusion energy a reality in the future.
I guess this explains why every time I have a cold, my nostrils alternate being blocked and unblocked.
The whole language is already a romanization. If the diacritics didn't contain useful information, they wouldn't exist. I can understand writing without diacritics when writing informally - even Vietnamese people do that - but in something published I would hope they'd go through the effort of committing to the English or the Vietnamese name. Nuoc mam is neither, it's a placeholder that says "we don't want to sound low-market by saying 'Vietnamese fish sauce', but we also don't care about being correct". It's not like Chinese characters, where it needs to be romanized for English speakers to recognise it: if we see nước mắm in sequential sentences, we'll know it's talking about the same thing even if we don't remember the diacritics.

These will be things from SMCP's style guide and will be shared by many other publications, because it's the way most of us treat other languages. There's a similar treatement of name order. I think the style shows disregard for the languages and cultures, so I don't like it.
Patents are only valid for at most 20 years. On historic timescales, that's nothing.

The thing with evaluating these services is that business people or product managers don’t understand that accuracy on benchmarks doesn’t map well to accuracy on your problem. If you have a wacky data distribution (hint: you do), say like a collection of photos all taken inside the same building, you can’t generalize to consider benchmark stats.

On top of this, these services charge you for usage, not for accurate usage. This is a major issue that so many people overlook.

What does it matter if it’s cheap per request? That only helps you if accuracy per request is very high. Otherwise you’re paying for cheap garbage, or in some use cases you must grow requests much larger to overcome errors per request, like if you’re trying to get a bulk of labeled data via these services.

Most use cases are still better off hiring ML engineers who understand how to evaluate accuracy for the unique business use case, fine tune or train a model, and do it in house (or at least give you deep assurances of the rare cases when the big cloud services actually are cost effective to use).

For most use cases, you’re wasting your money trying for ML-as-a-service like this.
A few times. I go in with the assumption that they're completely valueless, and figure that if they ever amount to anything it's basically "found money."

So far, that position has been borne out. Promised options have either:

a. Never actually materialized

or

b. Were never worth enough to bother exercising
When I record to DVDs, I always add error correction using dvdisaster.[1]

In addition, I sometimes have par2 files[2] on the DVD as well, though it's probably better to just have additional dvdisaster ECC instead.

It's a good idea to periodically go through all your old backups and transfer them to new media, or at least make sure the old media still works and start recovery on them right away if they don't.
