No. At least not for security updates. There is syspatch for the base system and "pkg_add -u" now also also pulls from a package collection called "packages-stable".

The regular 6 month base system updates have been automated as well with "sysupgrade". Doesn't work for whole disk encryption if you have required networking firmware that can't be distributed (I'm looking at you Intel), For that particular case you have to copy the new ram disk kernel (bsd.rd) to the root of the disk. Regular updates are super easy now.
Amazon to roll out tools to monitor factory workers and machines
Apple was smart not to compete on the low-end for watches.

Median income in the USA is $68,703.

Why would someone spend 1/25 of 1 percent of their income on something that they wear 100% of the time? That makes no sense.

I shell out $200-$300 each year for the latest FitBit (Apple Watch is promising, but that battery life :(. The sleep tracking is gold).
Cost, lack of debugging capabilities, terrible developer tools, cryptic documentation that misses some key scenarios, I can go on. Now, I get it, you’re at AWS so you would never openly and bluntly come out and say that what you -really- want is to lock in your users, because that brings AWS money. But that’s the reality. See my earlier comment as to why it made sense for our company to move away from Lambda.
I helped build the cover song alignment pipeline for "Infinite Bad Guy" http://billie.withyoutube.com/ an interactive music video that brings together thousands of YouTube covers of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish. We just published a writeup on how we built the alignment (along with some simple tricks for estimating video similarity).

We used a bidirectional LSTM with CQT and chroma as input, and predicted the original beat for every cover beat as output. There's a bunch of existing work on this from Furkan Yesiler, Dan Ellis and others, and we're super grateful to them for advising.

Super open to feedback and critique here or in the post.
I feel like it would be great to have a demo of some sorts, the landing page doesn't really give much information about how it looks or how a sample feed could look like.
I couldn't agree more! Mix in libvirt and virt-manager (which, admittedly, are very warty in a lot of ways) and a little Spice and you get a full virtual server stack for the cost of exactly zero dollars.
Amazon EBS Gp3 Volume Lets You Provision Performance Apart from Capacity
Housing prices on an inflation adjusted dollars per square foot basis are the exact same now, on average, as they were in the 1970s across the US. [1]

A few things have changed. One is in choice few major metros, like SF, city councils abjectly refuse to allow new construction taller than existing construction to the benefit of landowners. This artificial supply constraint is pretty much solely responsible for the massive increase in pricing in these metros.

The other thing that’s changed is minimum setback rules, minimum sizing rules, and various other council ordinances - in addition to what Americans consider a suitable home for their living situation. As such new homes are on average twice as big now as they were in the 1970s.

Make no mistake though the average price per square foot for a home in the United States has tracked inflation almost precisely for the last 50 years.

This is purely supply, demand and artificial constraints - not monetary policy. Compare to Tokyo where housing downtown is a few hundred thousand dollars. I suspect if interest rates were lower you’d see smaller houses, not cheaper ones - that’s what happened there!

I've been playing with my pinephone a bit (2GB postmarketOS). Overall I think it's awesome and I love having a real linux machine in such a nice package. The build quality is much better than expected.

That said, Firefox is extremely slow and crashes a lot. Getting a fast stable browser seems like priority #1 to me. If these things are ever going to take off they need apps, and I think web apps (for better or for worse) are the quickest way to get a decent number of apps.

I'm not sure if it's simply a hardware issue (can't expect too much for 150USD), or a software optimization problem. I don't have a cheap Android phone to compare to.
I don’t know how this is related to my comment. In my case we used a slow language (although Python’s poor performance and its large bundle sizes are only indirectly related at best) and we had to spend a lot more by moving to ECS/Fargate. If we were using Go, our bundle sizes would’ve been 30x smaller (I checked) and would’ve fit in a lambda easily. Not only would it have fit easily, it would have made a lot of progress before the Python version even finished importing its dependencies. And in top of all of that, it would have out-performed the Python version by a good order of magnitude. If anything, my anecdote supports the idea that Amazon wants you to use fast languages, especially now that they offer per-ms pricing for lambdas.

Curious why it would take 5 seconds?

The way I'm using lambda, I compile the lambda build image beforehand which contains the python packages already installed, and the only "time" restraint is that of the lambda spinning up itself.

If you ran e.g. "pip install -r requirements.txt" inside the lambda, then yes it would take time to install the packages.
I think the wrapped BTCs, especially the decentralized approaches to it, are clever links that allow for the transfer of BTC value over to the Ethereum ecosystem.

It's a way of selling BTC for other tokens, extracting and removing its value over time, and instead investing it into DeFi and similar.
Bitcoin halvings are every four years. The third one happened in May this year.
How is Wyze churning out so many new hardware devices so rapidly?

I hadn't heard of them till this year when I saw their camera on sale, but now they have a full suite of hardware products with ~50 employees.

Are they essentially rebranding some Chinese manufacturer?
I think of it this way:

- Every system will be gamed, no exceptions.

- It is impossible for the architects of any system to imagine all the ways it will be gamed.

That's why it's not possible to create fixed laws that are just. Inevitably someone will find a hack that turns the intent of the law around while remaining true to its letter.

This seems to be what dooms both pure libertarian capitalist schemes and pure socialist command economy schemes. In the former case there is not enough structure to contain exploits and no recourse when someone finds a good scam. In the latter case it's impossible for central planners to imagine the results of their plans when they are exposed to opportunistic economic agents. The fatal flaw in both ideologies is their dogmatism. It causes them to fail to adapt when flaws and exploits in the rule system are inevitably found.
I think your integration comment is spot on but might be an apples and oranges thing. On GCP everything is an HTTP request with an id_token in the header and event in the body, almost surprisingly so. As a result services like Cloud Functions and Cloud Run containers are quite literally just generic HTTP handlers. I suspect the integration feel of Lambda, which I agree with, might be a consequence of inter-service communication on AWS being relatively proprietary, or if that's not the right word, custom? Maybe the loose feeling of GCP is because everything is an HTTP request? It's almost like all of GCP runs on a built-in HTTP API Gateway setup by default. Honestly most of the time I feel like I'm living in HTTP-Request-land anyway, so not having to context switch when working with the platform is kind of nice sometimes.

There are a lot of cameras at that price range. I got one from a competitor (some router manufacturer, forgot which one).

Excited about this; I'm looking forward to when it becomes usable as a boot volume. The volume type description suggests "boot volumes" as a use case, but you can't actually use gp3 as a boot volume yet.

All of my boot volumes tend to be 1GB (and they'd be ~128MB if EBS had smaller granularity), so gp3 will raise their performance from 100 IOPS to 3000 IOPS. And on top of that, gp3 is cheaper ($0.08/GB/month, down from $0.10/GB/month), which will make a big difference for larger volumes.
Peer Review: Implementing a “publish, then review” model of publishing
Another clarification, the display of the Bip(and Pebble, Garmin and others) is not a transreflective type but a SHARP Memory LCD where pixels only need power to change their state but need almost no power keeping their current state, like e-ink, but better, so it looks like transreflective in the sunlight.

The transreflective LCD type of the Gameboy would absolutely nuke your battery life as it needs to be actively refreshed even on stationary images.

I'm deeply saddened this type of display is not more popular among wearables vs OLED. Who doesn't want 30 day+ battery life and always-on sunlight visibility?

I experience much the same things GP does and I like to take a stab at replying to some of your fears. It would have been perfectly acceptable to my circle of family and friends to say that I and my wife would not have kids. Having children is not for everyone, especially those that are afraid of losing their personal time. I definitely miss the amount of personal freedom and time I had on my hands before and kick myself for not realizing at the time how much personal time I had, not that it would have changed my behavior, but to just have appreciated what I had at the time more fully. Having said all of that nothing compares to the joy my son brings me every day, and there's no amount of crying and fighting he could do that would make me yearn for the time before his existence. For those on the fence, I would say it is better to not have children if you're uncertain. Having children should feel like a leap of faith that you're ready to take together, not one you feel you have to take despite your fear because of a biological clock or possible regret. Everything in life has a season, and you will go through many seasons. I only get 1 year with my 2 year old. Then I'll only get 1 year with my 3 year old. The seasons of life will come again (hopefully) when I have more free time and my son pursues his own passions in life. The time I spend playing with him while my partner cooks dinner, or that my partner spends with him while I clean the dishes is fleeting as is all of life. I'll blink and he'll be a grown man and I'll have all the free time in the world again. Live for today, and hope for tomorrow. If you want all of your todays and tomorrows to be yours and your partner's to enjoy with each other only, the choice to not have children easy. I chose to experience fatherhood and was privileged to make that choice without pressure either way and with my partner's support. Live life exactly how you want and be kind.

Be that as it may, there's absolutely a non-trivial amount of revenue available at the low end of the market. Apple historically never participates in that market, but that's an opportunity for other hardware providers.
We used this with Azure. We contracted a firm to write a stack for eCommerce sites we were spinning up left and right. It passed through ITIL and was approved all over the chain. After that - security was happy, ops was happy, everyone was happy. Everything was just deploying an application - be it an application making millions of dollars per instance across many brands.

It enabled the branding/marketing teams to launch sites without waiting for months of tech backlog. it was beautiful

I would check your local craiglist ads for drafting tables. The other place I found really nice drawing tables for a decent price were at Blick Art Supplies.

You might have other art supply stores locally, so I would check those as well.

Not at all. NT is a fantastic kernel. In many ways the core system of Windows is much better than Linux. Largely because you just don't have the pointless fights about systemd vs. not, or X vs. Wayland, or foo vs. bar - you have a cohesively designed, unified base platform instead. Lots of very fantastic edge-case scenarios that are so trivial & seamless, and with functional GUIs & tooling so you can discover on your own more easily. Run out of disk space? Pop in another drive and just say "extend" and your existing partition is instantly expanded across both drives - no reconfiguration, no broken fstabs, no "well since you didn't anticipate this originally you now just can't do that", etc... Hell, Window's can handle a GPU driver crashing so quickly & seamlessly that you wouldn't even realize it happened if it didn't give you a little notification saying "hey something might be wrong with your GPU since it just crashed, take a look maybe?" It won't even kick you out of a game when it happens. Similarly you typically don't need to reboot to update drivers. Heck, converting from a "bare metal" install to a hypervisor is a matter of checking a box & rebooting.

But Microsoft then throws a bunch of stupid crap on top of it like Candy Crush ads for a piece of software that costs $200 and kinda ruins it. Or with all the deep hooks for Windows Defender & friends that just cripple process launching & file creation performance.
I thought of that but couldn't figure out how to get the syscalls for my system and the assembly around it. Being on win10, kernel32 links to api-console-... and I haven't been able to find it on my system. A few online downloads had it but, they don't export `GetStdHandle` and `WriteFile`. I thought maybe there was dynamic export generation going on because they did have those names as strings.

Edit: Also I believe ntdll doesn't export `GetStdHandle` anymore.
We have a slightly outdated one, it's just not as obvious on that page as it should be. If you click the "Watch Slyde in Action!" it's actually a button. We have a pending update that embeds an updated version of that video.
I have to say that I'm happy that Ethereum does not do on-chain governance for this very reason. It more or less follows the IETF principle of "rough consensus". [0]

Paxos Trust Company | Security & Site Reliability Engineer (SSRE) | New York City | Remote or NYC area | Full Time | https://www.paxos.com/careers/role/?gh_jid=4883718002

Paxos enables enterprises to integrate cryptocurrency buying, selling, holding and sending capabilities into their own applications. We manage the underlying regulatory and technological complexity of cryptocurrency markets with a turnkey, easy to integrate API-based solution.

Most recently, we built the engine behind Paypal's cryptocurrency wallet features[0].

We're hiring a "Security & Site Reliability Engineer"[1], a relatively new role forged out of lessons from the most recent Google SRE book, "Building Secure & Reliable Systems"[2]. We're looking for SREs who know how TLS works, can design and roll out BeyondCorp/Zero-Trust networks, appreciate the purpose of multi-party authorization, and can operate cryptographic key management systems like Hashicorp Vault.

If you're interested, apply to the job posting or (if you think SSRE might be a good fit) drop us a line at hn//paxos.com

We're hiring for a bunch of other positions as well - take a look at [3] for the list.

The Bip S is great (or the Bip S lite without gps if you don't need it). It has all the necessary basics (gps, step counter, always on color display, heart rate sensor, notifications, weather forecast, time, alarms) and real 40-45 days between battery charging. I couldn't stand charging each day or a few times per week.

Edit: and it can be operated in a real un"cloud"ed mode if you use the 3rd party gadgetbridge app (born of pebble user needs and extended to support more watches since). That was the dealmaker for me.
Reason 1: because they were afraid of it failing catastrophically just like what happened this morning. One person was on site (director of telescope operations Angel), but imagine what would have happened if a work crew was up in the structure working on cables during such a failure.

Reason 2: They are not going to build a new one. NSF has tried to get rid of AO for a long time now.
Maybe an odd comparison, but watching different social networks launch and failing reminds me of the MMO's that were produced after World of Warcraft's massive success. Most of them touted as the "WoW killer"

Don't get me wrong, I would really like to see a new social network take off - one focused on privacy and data ownership.
I almost bought an $80 pdf application (pdf expert) only to find out it phones home with my device details...

> I was ever so slightly disappointed to see how manual the packaging is, with every .c file listed in each lua script. It looks quite maintenance-intensive.

I was worried about this, too, but it turns out most of the cost in just the initial packaging. Packages do not tend to change their build system very much in between releases, so updating is usually just `git diff` between the version tags, sometimes adding/removing a couple source files to `gen.lua`, and regenerating `config.h`.

I'm just one person, but I've been able to keep these 100 or so packages up-to-date fairly easily, while still spending most of my time developing my own projects.

> I was almost hoping for some kind of meta-build system which could parse automake etc. files and hoist the dependency graph into the main system build.

This would be amazing, but I think it is too difficult a problem to solve, especially with the huge variety of build systems (which are sometimes used pretty creatively). For some packages I get part of the way there with scripts or command snippets to extract source lists from the upstream build system. Here's an example:
https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis/blob/master/pkg/mpv/gens...

One of the main motivations for the oasis build system is that it is often very difficult to get the upstream build system to do what you want. It is very common for projects to ignore your CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, ignore special include/lib directories for dependencies, or have automagic dependencies (to borrow a term from gentoo) that can't be enabled/disabled explicitly with a configure switch. Also, most build systems don't work very well for building things statically. libtool will intercept your -static flag, hiding it from the compiler, and libraries which are dependencies of other libraries get left out from the linking command.

It's incredible that with the increases in processing power and storage technology, and the continuous performance enhancements of postgres in particular the last years, any "scalable by design" solution of 10 or even 5 years ago can easily be implemented in postgres these days. I guess the 80/20 rule applies more than ever in these cases.

I am far from a database expert, but the fact that I have been able to implement without much effort efficient systems that have high bandwidth and reliability requirements, balancing and low latency speaks eons of the current state of affairs.

I mean yeah, AWS is a 10-100x markup over running your own stuff.

I run a file hosting site that serves >500TB of data to about 2 million monthly users on a bunch of dedicated servers that cost me about $500 a month.

If I ran this on AWS it would cost me more than $20,000 every month.

I could hire four system administrators to do nothing but look after each of my four dedicated servers for that money.

It's completely ridiculous.
