Great article. In long distance endurance sports especially, "suffering" is an essential of the game. Persistence pays off far more than raw talent.

You'll feel aches, pains, hunger, technical problems, weather, nagging injuries ... yet the only thing you can do is keep going. There's an obvious tension between what your body is telling you ("Hey slow down and rest. You're not running from a predator. You've got plenty of food. There's pizza and beer at home. Why are you doing this?") and your athletic goals.

Success is all about planning, preparing, pacing to avoid the obvious causes of suffering for as long as possible. Then when fatigue inevitably hits, recognizing those mental states for what they are: a distraction. Trust your preparation and continue to focus on the path ahead. It starts to sound very much like meditation.

There's a interesting theory in exercise physiology called the "Central governor" - your brain unconsciously monitors signals throughout the body and if it detects anything that could potentially damage vital systems, activity will be shut down directly _causing_ what we experience as fatigue. I find it fascinating that the limits of human endurance could based on our brain's unconscious decision making ability. I wonder if training (in the sports sense) is similar to training a neural network - feed a variety of inputs about physical conditions, continually tune predictions about which signals are safe vs unsafe for the vital organs. IOW "learning to suffer" might be a physical process by which we improve athletic performance through optimizing our fatigue calculations.
It's not the demise of x86. It's the demise of x86 as a moat.

Those are different things. We have seen a minuscule movement on the first, but we've been running towards the second since the 90's, and looks like we are close now.
Probably not. That’s why most of these books are useless for people that self-study. There isn’t an external feedback mechanism to check your work. I’d recommend hiring a tutor. You can post online too, but the answers to your questions may vary.
dunno about sk. but doesn't cn also have a contact tracing system where u have to "login" to physical buildings?

and use of cctv footage to help contact tracing?

its not just people and phone calls?
Yeah, there's a big difference between being hurt and being injured. I'd go so far as to say that most athletes will deal with both during their career.

Learning to manage it is truly an art. If you're too conservative you leave a lot on the table. Being too aggressive absolutely will get you injured.

The one consistent thing though that research shows is that if you are considtently doing workouts that you would rate as a 10/10 on your own internal uncalibrated scale, you are at much higher risk for injury.

The art of knowing how hard to push yourself isn't something that people just intuitively know. It takes experience of failing in both directions to nail the sweet spot. It's not impossible to learn, but I agree that most athletes don't even have it nailed. Thats one of the things a good coach is for.

> uncontrolled power of any kind has the right to exist in our time.

I honestly can't tell if this is satire or not anymore. Where do we not see this type of uncontrolled power?

Residents of the US live in a vast oligarchy where the elite define freedom as "the ability to change which feudal lord you work for", in a system where all lords serve the same master. Our "democratic" government is largely a spectacle which has little impact on the day to day lives of citizens despite how terrified they are of its collapse.

In the united states anyone who has too deeply radical thoughts will simply be unemployable, without a means of survival, healthcare or housing. The idea that employees of a company should have a say in the practices of the company is considered highest heresy. Even the times where some sort of worker union can emerge it's only to provided limited benefit to the workers.

The US has evolved a more sophisticated form of "uncontrolled power", one so powerful that even stating its existence is fought with controversy. At least in traditional monarchy you can find a way to life your live largely away these power structures, "heaven is high and the emperor is far away". Whereas the power structures in our own society literally mesh themselves in our flesh and minds. The best part is you cannot even question them (there's a 50/50 chance this very comment will be downvoted into oblivion).
How do u organize files?
True These American Company are like "We support BLM" but when it comes to Thailand, Hong Kong etc they are double standards and only use these things for PR stunts because they don't want government to block them. It seems we are living in century where lies and money prevails over ethics.
I live in Thailand and I know many Thai people don't love the current king. But from what I've seen the father of the current king was loved by most -if not all- Thais and I feel most Thais supported the laws in case of the previous king.

But I believe it's very important that in Thai schools there are practices, even starting at kindergarten, to teach children to kneel or bow in front of the picture of the king daily. From what I understand children also sing the Thai national anthem at the start of the school day. Every day at 2 moments (09:00 and 17:00) many people stop what they're doing and stand in attention for a second while the national anthem plays on TV, radio in cinemas, etc... So you might understand that reference for the king is a big part of the education system here.

Also, most Thais just don't have the money to travel abroad. And likely also don't see much of other countries on television. News channels on TV might spend 95% of the news on happenings inside the country (e.g. visits of royal family to villages, etc...). As such, many Thais might not be aware that some countries operate very different from the Thai system.
So one can just tell them to f--- off and go away?
Then they'd lose customers. Many people use their Open Source products because it's free (as in beer). The fact that the products are also free as in speech is merely co-incidental to them. Elastic Co. does not want to lose those customers.

On a broader note: Elastic Co. used Open Source as a marketing point for their product, but now no longer want to be held to the same standard.
Ok, well it seems you have a lot of faith in the clarity of some of those Constitutional scenarios, which I guess is good.
Agree, the amount of people who license things as MIT is terrifying. There has been a couple of posts/rants on HN about this. A large company doesn't care about you, and licensing your code as MIT doesn't mean they're going to pay you. GPL actually gives you some teeth.

I agree with most of that. But those questionable replies? They're Rumsfeld's.

> Actually, absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

Agreed. And yet Rumsfeld says, in the linked press event transcript,

> Now what is the message there? The message is that there are no "knowns." There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

> It sounds like a riddle. It isn't a riddle. It is a very serious, important matter.

> There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way. Simply because you do not have evidence that something exists does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist. And yet almost always, when we make our threat assessments, when we look at the world, we end up basing it on the first two pieces of that puzzle, rather than all three.

[emphasis mine]

> The ridicule such as in the examples reveals epistemic immaturity.

Almost. The example replies, were Rumsfeld's, at the two events. Extracts, but I suggest fair ones. The example questions were paraphrased. Then I prefaced the alternate contexts, hoping to better illuminate the flaws in the replies.

The epistemic immaturity you observe, is a property of Rumsfeld's replies, and what I sought to illustrate, in support of GGP seeking to understand the historical ridicule. I'm sorry that ended up less than clear.
I still lean towards something along the lines of The Miller-Urey experiment[0]. There are many very interesting theories[1].

But who is to say it isn't a combination of both? The question would be, from whence did the life on comets/extra-terrestrial bodies originate?

It does seem tricky. On on hand, they want to stop AWS using "Elasticsearch" in a product name because it isn't in partnership with Elastic co., but on the other hand AWS's product really does contain Elasticsearch, which is why they are changing their license. If AWS had a product called "Elasticsearch Service" which didn't contain Elasticsearch, then it would be pretty clear cut as that would be very confusing, but a product called "Elasticsearch Service" that really does contain "Elasticsearch" seems pretty self-explanatory.
> We collaborate with cloud service providers, including Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Tencent, Clever Cloud, and others. We have shown we can find a way to do it. We even work with other parts of Amazon. We are always open to doing that; it just needs to be OK.

I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into this but it sort of feels like they don't want/expect to keep offering the proper AWS integration that their elastic.co product has now. I know at work we have something hosted by them in AWS and I assume that's inside our VPC and we'd need that feature to keep using them.

If they do still think that feature is important then saying they "work with other parts of Amazon" feels like it's really under-selling that collaboration/integration with AWS.
Politics aside, is this potentially one of the most comprehensive multi-vantage-point training video datasets available today? I cannot imagine another that contains such a multitude of 1) videos shooters, 2) positions, 3) actual humans and 4) temporal start/end times.
I’ve heard of similar frameworks that replace “creativity” with “a skill you can hone”.

Are you saying voting for the wrong person should be illegal and grounds for prosecution?

I mean for one, you wouldn't / shouldn't be able to trace who voted for who; it's called anonymity in voting and it's one of the pillars of democracy. And which party you side with is a massive part of the hostility between citizens of the US right now. It's not just a vote for many, it's a personality, a tribe, something to get entrenched in and lash out to the Other Side.
They fact that such an obvious comment such as this is immediately downvote here is the strongest evidence of the truth of this statement I can imagine.

We only question the authority of monarchy because we have moved on to a more powerful system of control. 500 years ago, when monarchs where publicly viewed as divinely ordained (a similar but less sophisticated ideology that create the idea that companies should be totalitarian) even questioning the right of a king to his thrown as seen as heretical.
> Could this potentially drive users to the Amazon fork?

If they're dumb, yes.

As stated in their blog, changes apply pretty much only if you're either embed or redistribute elasticsearch/kibana. And these are two specific use-cases btw.

If you're already a customer, nothing changes.

>The main value of open source to businesses is that support is truly commodified

No, Thats not true at all. Most open source companies survive off of support contracts. It's why companies choose rhel over centos.
Apart from the general consternation about an OSS license becoming non-OSS, can we also talk about the problem that companies are formed, invest a whole lot of resources into creating a product, open-source it, and then have Amazon eat into their profits by just installing and maintaining that product as a service?

No matter how you slice it, I think Amazon is bad for us end-users, and Elastic is good. Elastic could have released ES as closed source, but they didn't, and the OSS ecosystem is better for it. They were hoping to make money off their product, which I don't think anyone can fault them for, but instead Amazon came in and took a bunch of that money while not giving anything back.

Now Elastic is not happy, and I wouldn't be either. As an end user, I'm grateful the circumstances exist that allow companies to make a living from OSS, and I want to encourage that. AWS is the fly in the ointment there, and I don't see how blaming Elastic for not giving us stuff for free any more is anything other than entitled. We should be grateful that ES is OSS at all, and we should want an environment where companies that produce OSS can thrive, instead of blaming them for wanting to get paid for the work that they release freely into the world.

Amazon hinders that, period. I don't think Elastic is in the wrong here, I think Amazon is.

I think dream jobs are like soul mates. Yeah, you have good fits, but there's not just one perfect job for you, upon which all personal fulfillment is predicated. Not to say you can't find a job that makes you super happy...

I think more important is to not hinge your personal happiness or fulfillment on having a particular job, just like wasting your life waiting to find Mr./Mrs. Right.

Yeah, there's a lot more nuance to this than I give; and I have a family, so that greatly impacts my view and perspective. I think generally the principal holds though - don't link fulfillment to some ideal event you're waiting for.

Caveat emptor, yada yada.
> And the article does not really answer that, well beyond censorship

Democracies are incompatible with censorship.

> Currently lobbies have more power in the decision process than voters (any political sciences professor will agree). So democracy is a hollow word, or worse: a facade, a lie.

I agree that lobbies have far more power than citizens, and that this is a problem. However, maybe I'm misreading you, but it seems like you might be implying that since we don't have democracy anyway, censorship is fine? Of course, that's not true; we don't want to actively invest in preventing ourselves from getting back to something we can meaningfully call "democracy" by way of legitimizing censorship. Again, probably not your intended meaning, but I wanted to address it anyway.

While we're talking about corporations having too much power, let's talk about social media companies--they can influence our society directly. They don't have to pay people to petition congress on their behalf; they can pay Twitter and Facebook for access (think "Social Dilemma"). Indeed, they have so much power that we were concerned circa 2017 that the Russians were able to indirectly use their influence over us to corrupt the 2016 POTUS election; how much more influence must Twitter and Facebook (and now Chinese-owned TikTok) have over our democracy given that they have direct access to those algorithmic levers? The super rich can now lobby and pay Twitter/Facebook/etc in order to pass their policies.
It’s funny how these arguments always go the same way. X Group is horrible because they did Y action, but if I do Y action it’s fine, because I’m with the good guys.
It’s almost as if education is a proxy for being a social conformist. But people still think school cures groupthink. It does the opposite by definition.
> Tellingly, such redefinitions are generally broader than the accepted OSI definition, so as to include whatever product someone is trying to push.

I disagree. In fact I'll present the counter example of "myself". I don't agree with the OSIs definition of open source, I think it run contrary to the plain meaning of the term, and is contrary to pre-OSI use of the term. I've argued that numerous times on this forum (and I'm going to avoid repeating these arguments in depth here, just google "gpm Open Source site:news.ycombinator.com"/"gpm Open Source site:lobste.rs" and you will be able to find the arguments).

I have never pushed a product claiming to be open source that does not meet the OSIs definition, nor do I anticipate I ever will, since that seems to be a great way to make discussions about the product devolve into arguments about licensing, which is terrible advertising.

The fact that these arguments usually only come up when there is a reason to argue, i.e. someone has used the term in a way outside of the OSIs definition, does not mean that people only think the right definition of the term is something else when it's for their own benefit.

I don't understand "pilot" as dream job. You basically take off and land once you hit commercial.

I get the learning part - the first time you learn how redundant and simple Cessna engines are, the first time you realize how light and simple it really is, how to tie it down, your first time trying to fly with instruments only, your first crosswind landing, etc. But after that? Really seems like "just a job".

Btw, not a pilot in any sense, just took some very discounted classes.
Those traits largely ignore the actual problem, which is not to have every individual optimize themselves out of "getting the crappy jobs", it actually hurts the issue by making it into a competition to avoid the crap, implying that those who do that must be forced to do it, by not being competent enough to escape. "It's their own fault they have to work there, because they weren't good enough to escape" should be worded "It's their own fault they have to work there, because they weren't so much better than everyone else that they could escape, they deserve it because they're not better than everyone else who is also trying hard".

WTF is wrong with 'muricans for thinking like that? This is not a zero-sum game, or at least, it does not have to be.

It's much more interesting to focus on not having a society where you can do important work and not be treated well for it. I'm helluva lot more grateful that someone comes around once a week in a big garbage-truck and takes away my garbage, than I am that some hipster with a macbook is making some new webgui framework that will "change the world". I can do without the webgui framework infinitely more than without the garbage-man.

We should be focusing on building a society where no job means poverty, that's not even an ambitious goal, it's the absolutely least you can expect of a decent society with decent people living in it. Sure, there can be competition for highest-paying jobs and for whatever are considered more pleasurable jobs, but nobody in any job at all, should be in a bad situation because of their job, if they have a job, if that job exists, society have decided they need them, and it's every ones duty to treat them well and with respect.

So, thanks garbage dude, your job is more important than mine, at least you live in a more civilized country where you can afford more or less the same things I can.

Or as the article writes so much better:

> “What’s the issue with giving people decent jobs that allow them to have decent lives?” This reality might sound deflating, especially for a kid thinking about what they want to be when they grow up, but looked at another way, it can also be quite enchanting. If a dream job is like any other job, then isn’t making all jobs better the dream?

To your second post:

I recently ran a project to compare AWS Elasticsearch and Elastic-hosted ES.

Surprisingly, we found that AWS did better for our use-case. Better IaC - easy to set up clusters with Terraform, and associated alerts. Better monitoring and easier setup. Better price/performance. AWS is obviously lower friction from a purchasing point too once you're already an AWS user.

This makes me curious if Elastic are shooting themselves in the foot a bit here.

The problem with status is that it’s completely relative and ultimately not in your control.
