Yes, albeit it was a bit more expensive.

I was running multiple sites by myself. There was less encapsulation (unless you were working with someone on bsd), for sure, but I'd say the advantages are more visible in terms of security (hacking was much easier back then) than ease to deploy.

Doing your own ops has never been that hard (YMMV) and I don't think it improved much nowadays.
Scaling to n machines didn't change as well.
Deploy n instances, load balancers, scaling vertically then horizontally, db sharding.
You still have the same fundamentals.

One pro of today is having a single artifact to deploy (tons of cowboys deployments and FTP uploads in the past).

One big cons you have nowadays is learning all the latest crap $currentCompany is using and having to peel the layers of abstractions to see why things work so badly.
It’s not about an abstract model, there are feedback loops involved. Shutdowns and people’s behavior responds to the number of new infections. Globally across the last 6 months, new infections are close to 1:1 because you don’t exponential growth. Just look at the three waves in the US.

In effect masks buy you a more open environment where people can leave their homes and do more stuff. Further, when locations decide to shutdown that shutdown is more effective.

A comment in the original article says it best: ... Changing the rules tends to neutralize acquired knowledge ... and beginning players like this because it levels the playing field.
>No where else in the world has the massive amount of diversity that the US does at the scale of the US. It’s not even close anywhere else so it is difficult for both US residents and people of other countries to fully comprehend.

I honestly feel as though this is a lack of awareness of other regions and the differences inside of them. I don't know how you can make sweeping statements like that. A cursory look at a linguistic diversity map should immediately hint at a different reality, and that's just one metric. There are places in Africa where you have genetic lines that are distant by tends of thousands of years from surrounding villages as measured by their Y chromosomes.
If you do want something that can look inside a building and determine the positions of people and objects, look up wifi
slam [0] which was acquired by apple. It can use the wifi signals to map out the inside of a building and determine the location of objects inside. About a decade later, thanks to neural networks and other techniques, they can use wifi to determine pose information, they can create a rough skeletal model of a person that moves as you move.

Important to note that this board is basically a developer kit for adapting software or implementing drivers, not something intended for actual users. It's way too expensive/underpowered for that.

Actual end user desktop/laptop/phone SoCs are probably years away (apart from specialised cores).

I'd very much love to eventually have something like a Risc-V edition PineBook and PinePhone though.
>"For the rest of us who use laptops, we want energy efficiency without throttling the machine to death"

I am not sure about worldwide ratio of "us" vs them. Personally I have desktop and laptop. Laptop is not as powerful as desktop but it is still a little monster soon to be replaced with the big monster of laptop. Laptop is being used for going to client, general development when staying out of the main office for extended time in summer etc. I am not using it in a settings where the external power is not available so I do not really care about the efficiency. Rather I care about performance, especially during builds.
I suspect your idea of 'very realistic' is from news sources like the NYT and not from actually being to Syria.

As someone who has been to Syria multiple times, I can assure you that US news is much closer to Hollywood than reality.

> These people are possibly the most important staff in the hospital: nobody else would be able to do a thing without them

I find this viewpoint a little confusing, because that’s true of almost everyone working there. No one gets treated if there aren’t doctors and nurses even if all the equipment is sparkling. No one gets treated if the back office isn’t procuring supplies.

The only way to split things along these lines that I’ve heard that makes sense to me is “could the hospital run without these people?”, where you say “not at all even briefly” for the most important group (as opposed to “yes” or “yes for a little bit”).
From my anecdotal evidence, people are attracted to serverless because they spend way to much on aws and they hope that by turning things off they'll spend less.

Not many people have the problems solved by a serverless architecture (or they need more freedom), which is why it's not as common as just running your own long running instances.
The problem is we actually conflate two related, but not identical, concepts when we talk about "bias".

The first is statistical bias - feeding algorithms training data that is somehow unrepresentative of the "real world" (or more specifically, the actual class of data for the intended use case). As an example, applying facial recognition to Caucasian faces when the model was solely trained on Chinese faces, you're going to have a bad time. The problem was that your data was "biased", because you actually wanted a model that recognizes "human faces", but you trained on the biased subset of "Chinese faces".

The second is the ethical/political notion of "bias" against individuals; more concretely, the idea that a society is "just" when people are judged as individuals, and not prejudiced by their gender/skin colour/etc. In this respect, when we say "we should not be biased against men", we really mean that "an individual man should not be treated any differently from a woman, even though men are overwhelmingly perpetrators (and victims) homicide".

The complication is that reality is inherently imbalanced/biased. Society can be chopped up into a lot of sub-views that skew towards particular demographics. Some are relatively harmless. "OnlyFans content creators" aren't 50-50 men-women, and men aren't charging the same as women either. Some are not - "murderers" are mostly men, black men are overrepresented in the "criminal" group, and so on.

This raises some obvious questions:

1) Why is this the case? Is this the result of systemic discrimination? Historical oppression? Innate preference? Cultural pressure to conform?

2) If you can answer (1), how does that influence your view of what a "just" society is? For example, do you consider it to be "unjust" to be wary of men (and men only) to protect yourself from random physical violence when you're out and about?

3) Does everyone share your view on what a "just" society is?

4) How do these answers dictate what you should "do" about it? As a voter? As an ML practitioner? As a CEO?

I'm not going to delve further into these questions, because they cause a lot of contention and deserve more time/consideration than I can justify right now in a HN post.

The main reason I decided to comment is that I've seen too much debate that tries to steamroll people into accepting conclusions without considering or answering these questions. Even worse, some people are actively trying to silence others who simply want to discuss these questions, rather than swallowing their conclusions uncritically.

(This is not levelled at you, by the way, your comment just presented an opportunity to lay out my thoughts.)

I don't think anyone can meaningfully discuss the (ethical) concept of "bias" without first laying out a very comprehensive perspective of "society" that touches on all of these points.

There was a joint paper from Google, Facebook (and possibly others) about 2 years ago that I thought handled this exceptionally well. The authors addressed many of these questions honestly and objectively, and most importantly, acknowledged the potential for disagreement.
Hosting a web site (for free) with S3, CloudFront, and Cloudflare
Sometimes I code 0 hours per day, on a very productive day I code 6 yours MAX (no meetings all day). 4 hours of straight coding is plenty productive, you are unlikely to focus highly for longer than that, this is fact. Work remote, office hours come from the industrial revolution, as well as capitalism to make people more likely to spend their money on their very few free time.

A good book on this is Deep Work by Cal Newport. It is humanly impossible to achieve high focus for 8 hours....daily....

I don't understand why everyone in this thread is such a sucker for corporate that instead of answering the question on the post, they go off tangents about how "they can still work even if they can't focus that much anymore". It's stupid, it's evidence of mediocre and wasteful corporate politics. A waste of energy for everyone and everything.
It’s a victim of the Witcher 3’s success. Even the Witcher 3 wasn’t all this great at launch. CDPR didn’t become a beloved company just because they released a great game. They listened to feedback, corrected a lot of bugs and introduced quality of life improvements and they put out a couple of very high quality DLCs for free. This coupled with their work in GOG restoring classic titles is what earned them their reputation.

There have been so many buggy video game launches, that I suspect Sony removing it from the store is not as straightforward as it appears to be. CDPR must have done something silly to annoy Sony. Either way these are dark days for the company.
There is a lot marketing bullshit in the Capella articles.

For example, the Singapore image of buildings and other detections by the SAR is clearly overlaid on an optical image with trees and bushes and respective shadows. Trees and bushes are invisible to X-band (10GHz) SAR. It has to be an optical image underlaying the radar data.

Look at it. The detections by SAR are bright white. Most of the image is grey-scale showing background items.

It is not advertised as such. As an interpretable image, perhaps this is an improvement over notoriously hard-to-understand monochrome SAR imagery. BUT! It is not described as such. Hence my subjective evaluation as "bullshit".

The most impressive part to me is how the m1 compares to the 3900X. I’ve got a mere 3600X and every laptop I owned or worked on over the past year is noticeably and painfully slower than the 3600X. It’s been a relief to get home and turn on my desktop. It doesn’t matter if the laptops I’m using are very recent i7’s and i9’s, the desktop is always very noticeably faster.

I got my m1 MacBook Pro 16GB yesterday and was pretty confused to find that Rust compilation felt faster than the desktop. To go from recent Intel laptops taking two to three times longer to compile Rust than my budget desktop despite the laptops' whiny fans and extreme heat, to having my desktop be sightly outclassed by an ice cold laptop on battery (which got at least 15 hours of use, including said compiling, with no need to charge) is a world changer. I can’t remember the last time a laptop was this close to desktop performance for my everyday workflow.

Now that I think about it, I haven’t even tried optimising compile times on the MacBook like I usually do with Rust projects. My desktop would have been running lld at least to make its compilation significantly faster, and the MacBook more than kept up in spite of the handicap.
I emailed whatsapp about this a while back and they said it was a non-issue.

How this happens:

1. Hacker adds phone number to their own whatsapp. They do this to thousands/tens of thousands of phone numbers.

2. All of those phone numbers receive an SMS with the OTP to activate whatsapp. In that OTP, there's also a link that will activate whatsapp if you click it. "Enter code XXXXXX or click this link to activate whatsapp on your new phone"

3. Someone, somewhere eventually clicks that link.

4. Hackers take whatsapp account. Add two-factor authentication to it so that you can't take it back by reauthenticating normally.

5. Extortion.

People usually get it back by contacting whatsapp.
Yeah. I wonder if you could train an image classifier to guess the CSS framework. That’s a fun winter vacation project for someone.
The people pushing backdoors don't care about facts (just like the DRM people 20 years ago) so no, basically nothing will change their minds. They'll also say "HSMs can't be compromised by Russia/China" (which is not true but see above).

LPEG vs. PEG–they both have their strengths and weaknesses
It took me a while to realize this truth, because you might learn it only by seeing your own code after forgetting it, or spending enough time in other people's code to understand how it works through and through.

One good example of this is paths in makefiles. It's so much easier if you just make all the paths relative to the root of the project, but people have to either over-abstract or under-abstract everything or both.

$(CC) -o ../build/foo foo.o $(BARDIR)/bar.a ../bletch/bletch.o $(BAZLIB) etc..

why not just:

$(CC) -o $ROOT/build/foo foo.o $ROOT/build/bar.a $ROOT/bletch/bletch.o $ROOT/baz/baz-2.0/bazlib.a

this goes for all sorts of things. Yes, you might build a directory from somewhere else or might, might might. But why not make it clear what you are doing, not unclear depending on what you might do?
I used to have a close friend who was constantly getting into trouble (and calling me to bail her out, sometimes literally). Minor run ins with the police, car accidents, making shady deals or getting into debt to random lowlifes she just met. I always used to say that I wished she would just stay in her room and sit on the bed. Save both of us so much trouble!

This was in the days before social media, otherwise I'm sure she would have done plenty of damage from her room.

might also be because women are a more profitable audience on youtube. From these stats[1] (should be mentioned they're from 2016 but still feels right). Beauty & Cosmetics dominate by a large margin and that's the perfect category for advertising. For men gaming, entertainment, comedy and education is higher. Not sure how profitable advertisement in those categories is.

This separation of "sense of being" from thought also has been expressed in the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, Sri Ramana Maharishi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. The writings of Nisargadatta are especially helpful in shedding more light on this phenomenon.

A very very corny way I like to think about this is the separation of the init process (being) from other processes (thought, sensation etc.). I know this is a very superficial interpretation, but I find it helpful.
dunno why the downvote.. this is a good conceptualization.

Do I believe that. Not really. Frequency is around 9,7GHz which is the upper limit of ground and wall penetrating radar systems. Of course you cannot look through metal or conductive structures, but why not thin plastic tents or thin walls? For this we need to know the sensors sensitivity. Of course imaging gets a bit messier, since the imageing algorithm is based on the assumption that you only get an entry reflex (so basically it is 2D or lets call it 2,5D imaging). For full 3D you also need to scan/move orthogonal to the first satelite direction.
What I am asking for us competitiveness in the market. Apple App Store ads allow attribution tracking and pass all that data to app developer. Apple is tracking is just as pervasive as FB, click the ad button on any ad in the App Store to see what they are tracking.
The history is actually pretty simple.

Originally it was because the US government requires a second source for any components and so Intel had to license it to somebody to supply the US government.

Then later AMD's 64 bit instructions became the standard, so Intel needed the license for the 64 bit extensions and AMD needed the x86 base and so they just decided to cross-license and call it good.
"ARM is killing x86" is a cooler narrative than "Macs are now crazy-fast but they're still Macs so few people will switch".
For Python, it's basically the tool as far as I can tell.
That's a good point.

Makes me wonder what the reality is with kids nowadays that are right there under their parents nose noodling around on their phone. Are they getting into less trouble, or more trouble?
> I find people who argue scarcity more often than not don't have actual numbers to back it up. Amongst human beings biggest necessities, what are actually scarce?

Scarcity in the economic sense just means there are material limits to the things people want. It's not a synonym for "rarity."

> Food? Not at all, tons and tons are thrown out daily.

The places that are throwing out food also have charities and food banks so that few people actually starve to death. People who starve to death are in parts of the world with poorly functioning distribution systems. The people in those parts of the world who have food don't throw it out, they lock it up so they can give it to their friends.

> Housing? Well there's enough of that for everyone we just don't know how, and don't want to, distribute it.

This is a good point and there are homeless people in cities with vacant housing.

> Clothing? Even though people burn through clothing almost as quickly as food, it is produced in surplus so much that we invented fashion.

Crucially, there are very few naked people but the things people want to wear are still of limited supply.

> Classical economics has no explanation for this modern surplus of production.

Its literally called "capitalism"; People with means of production make profit by producing commodities and this incentivizes other people to invest their surplus in additional capital and compete to produce more commodities. This expansion of production drives the marginal rate of profit down which causes people to invest in producing other things; the capital and products are thereby multiplied over and over and the result is a system that makes these basic things extremely plentiful and low cost.

> What necessity exactly is scarce in 2020?

Human labor, time, space, raw materials, and products that are the output of specific processes that cannot be commodified in this way (art, haute couture, and antiques are examples)
No idea if this will help, but I had some instability on my macbook last year after getting my screen replaced. I ran memtest86 on the machine (using a UEFI USB image) and after a few hours it reported memory errors. I took it back to the genius bar and explained the situation. After reproducing the problem using their own internal tool they replaced the motherboard for free of charge and I haven't had any problems since then.

Your RAM might be working fine, but with crashes and lockups I think its always worth checking. Life is too short to put up with faulty hardware.
It's even delisting a lot of content from existing sites. For example, I've got previous HN comments that I used to reference using `akiselev site:ycombinator.com [some key words]` that are nowhere to be found now. I started noticing this a few years ago.
It could also be smokescreen and mirrors. If you find the truth uncomfortable just hide it beneath technical mumble jumble.

It's actually depressing / infuriating that someone this dumb who makes videos and hucks mid-level apts in Seattle as a noob "realtor" actually makes that much money - more than most average software engineers (definitely more than classical engineers, mechanical, civil etc).

Part of me wants to make more money to prove a point. But I'm also proud to not be a "content creator" or a realtor - those jobs seem like a really shitty way to spend your time.

The gist is that it's the value of your content that really matters. MeetKevin (one of those spammy real-estate channels) was making $50k a month with less than 250k subscribers.
Yes, she has been tested for active Covid about a half-dozen times with both the fast (15 min) and slower tests. We wanted to make extremely sure she wasn't an asymptomatic carrier who could give it to her elderly parents.

She didn't get tested for antibodies as the health system has far more important things to deal with right now in the US, unfortunately.
> Yes, you can[1]. It will even sync automatically with whatever git repo you store the settings in.

No you cannot. Note I was being very precise in my wording. While you can now export your Jetbrains IDE's config as a git repo (or zip file) of text files, you still cannot configure the IDE through text files (like in SublimeText) because 1) the text files' format is not documented anywhere and likely to change in the future without further warning and 2) Jetbrains also writes changes to the git repo automatically. I want to be in control of my config, though. (Sure, I could roll back any changes but I think that's very sub-optimal solution.)

> This is a problem with relying on the IDE host to also be the host of your applications. Your repo should contain build settings, not your IDE.

Well, yes, we do have all our build scripts etc. in our repo but that doesn't keep people (myself included) from running and debugging things from within their IDE because it's a lot more comfortable.
I'm glad someone finally started comparing state of the art vs state of art.

Most comparisons have been M1 vs the frankly dated Intel offerings with the previous Mac product line.

So things to remember would be that power/performance is not linear and so 5800 like CPU could be scaled back in power consumption without sacrificing the same proportion of it's performance. Also, 5800X is on TSMC 7nm process where as M1 is on the 5nm; this difference will have a measurable impact on performance and power consumption.
I think buying a NAS with all the built in software you need is a more sensible approach for the average enthusiast. But nextcloud is cool too.
