That's Marketing Speak. They know exactly what they bought and why. Whether that adds to the bottom line remains to be decided. Big Corps go through mergers and de-mergers at one or more board's whim with some monotony.

We need to decide what that means to "us" for a given value of "us".

From my first skim read, it looks like some "with benefits" things will be lost by interested parties. The questions answered by "Siemens did not respond to this question."
Correct. Another good example here is that to my knowledge, developers don't do things like write directly to L1, L2, L3... they tune so that those caches are used effectively.

Right, I just ported our Rust DNS server (built with the equally excellent NLNet crate) to miekg/dns. It's great. But people tend to be writing "interesting" DNS servers, which is not the thing you actually need if you're trying to get rid of BIND and nsd; you need stuff that behaves exactly like BIND and nsd, just minus the memory corruption.
Sadly, the bar, and duration required for the science you describe is higher than "a little research on pubmed...on SARS". I'm a little flummoxed by the description of not rushing science as political.
Mainly it's the absurd amount of functionality that's packed into the library, in a way that interoperates in a predictable way.

Rich does a LOT of stuff, and all of the things it does work with each other - so it's easy to compose them together into sophisticated combined layouts.

It can render Markdown in a way that works on a console. It has gorgeous progress bars and spinners built in. It has a very competent table layout mechanism.

https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich/tree/master/examples is full of neat examples of what it can do - all very Pythonic in the way they work.
I tried to put it in a neutral way, and I think it’s a far from a black and white issue.

Not to go too sideways, but hostage (with humans, not data) situations are typically about other people. When you’re the target, it’s not your life on the line, but your loved/valuable ones. So you’re not defending just yourself, you actually have to care about at least someone else to have it happen to you. And some care about a lot more than just their loved ones, they’ll also think about their friends, family, sometimes the rest of the society.

Everyone is different and there is no absolute best, but let’s at least recognize it’s complex and there’s lots of ways to think about it.
Human civilization is absolutely broken.

One thing that was shocking to me when I looked this up myself is the temperature range of a car dashboard where the LCD is mounted. It can get ludicrously hot in the summer if the car is parked under the sun[1], like 80-90 C (180-200 F) hot.

Copper usually bursts if the water in it freezes. But PEX can freeze without bursting. It has just enough flex to handle the expansion of water into ice. It still might burst, but it’s much less likely than copper. At least that’s my understanding of it. It’s not freeze proof. But it is less prone to freeze damage.

>a false positive here and there

Is that the right characterization? If everyone got a test every year, then there would be 3% false positives, per the article.

Brain cancer cases are around 6-7 per 100,000 per year.

So that means simply screening everyone would produce around 99.8% false positives, wouldn't it?

Or, looking at it another way, there would be 400 - 500 false positives for every real one.

"More data" implies that you use it for something. If there is some kind of intervention, and it almost always is not needed, then it has to be that much safer, in order to not make people worse off in aggregate.

This has long been a controversy with mammograms, I think.
Messages within a partition are read in order. Partitions themselves may be read simultaneously or out of order. This is the trade-off for scalability.

You can compromise by using hashing or other logic to group related messages into the same partition. For example, hashing by user-id lets you process events for a particular user in order, while processing all events by users in parallel. If you can divide into logically consistent but globally isolated boundaries then this setup works very well.
I mean, you're a real person that wrote this, and I'm a real person replying to you. No one of this is not real. The image that I might make of you in my head and that you might make of me in your head are illusions, but so are the ones we make in "meatspace". Feel free to call the internet "siliconspace" or something like that, but it won't make it not real.
That would be a specular way to go.
For someone who is disabled and publicly outspoken about it, it sure is hard to find out what disability it is. There is a night and day difference between a physical and mental disabilities as well as a spectrum of severity between them. Her story would've been slightly more compelling had she disclosed that and why she felt that way about said disability.
Agreed. It took me a couple of years to reach that same conclusion. When I did, I deleted Twitter and LinkedIn - the only two platforms I used.

When I realized my mental health was suffering from the “infinite scroll” and the toxicity of people saying things on Twitter that they’d never say face to face,I knew it was time.

That was almost 4 years ago. As the meme goes “No ragrets”.

I'd be more open to AMD if Linux support wasn't so spotty. I haven't installed Linux on an AMD desktop in years so I'd like to hear if that's changed. While I don't mind Intel, I'd certainly prefer paying for performance at a lower price.
I have been an Aeron user since I moved to San Francisco in the late '90s and picked one up cheap after the (first) .com bubble exploded.

I highly recommend looking for a used Aeron; they are everywhere and can easily be refurbished and cleaned. My current gig offered me a brand new Aeron for $150 CAD (net) so my used one is going to get cleaned up and resold.
I think it is the desktop vs mobile web UI. If they detect you are in a mobile, they will push you to download the app. I have seen it too.
Totally agree!

I come from the world of Perl, at the start of my career. Perl has DBIx::Class, still one of the best ORMs IMO.

I’ve transitioned via PHP and Laravel, which also has a decent ORM.

Nowadays I’m heavy into TypeScript and have tried every ORM there is in the JS/TypeScript land.

And I’ve settled on Zapatos, which is not an ORM, but exactly what you describe. It’s a utility that helps writing type safe and hinted queries.

This approach contrasted with, let’s say, TypeORM which is full of broken magic under the hood, is a breath of fresh air and is a delight to use.

Together with that I write simple repository wrappers manually and surprisingly there aren’t that many of them.
In my experience dealing with code written by people who only know ORM:s is about as fun as dealing with code written by people who refuse to use ORM:s when they really should have. The latter like to prove they don't need an ORM by creating their own "simple" libraries full of half broken functionality that pretty soon turns into to the ORM:s from hell.

Oh, be aware that SQL is not universal. Especially not if you do anything remotely advanced like triggers, non-trivial indexes or select queries that returns complex types.

The Aeron size C is too large for me everywhere except for my legs which it fits fine.

The Aeron size B is just a tad too wide, the arm rests are too far apart but the seat depth is just a tad too short for me.

Overall, though, I just accepted that this is one of those “fighter plane cockpits can’t be average on all fronts” situations and the Aeron size B is good enough for me.

For comfort, getting my arms on the arm rests and my keyboard split far apart is the best thing.

I got my two Aerons in lab liquidations so I spent some $200 each.
Okay. So what is the “path” you’d prescribe this individual? That’s the part that never seems to get defined and seems to be something the accused must infinitely chase.

At what point should spectators be allowed to treat this individual like a human again?

> Surely it's easier to argue that we should have no people without legs rather than no people with legs

I have never heard anyone be this reductionistic and be serious. that's not at all what the conversation is about.

> Maybe there's a benefit to diversity of perspectives. In which case the question should be is society better for having 1% (or 10% or 0.001%, anything above 0%) of the population disabled?

Pretty much all the elderly are disabled. I guess you're using disabled to refer to the young ones? Not all of us have been disabled since birth, either, there's accidents and diseases.

No, I think the question isn't "are we good for society?" The question is "are we allowed to exist, and can we have rights?"

I'm disabled. I'm extremely talented, I can still work, and I've contributed a lot at work, but I might not be able to keep my job in another five years. I'm still happy to have been born.

My mom was disabled (with a different disorder than me), and my grandfather too (with multiple things.) We'd have been euthanized in Nazi Germany for sure.

Are ethicists okay with me having bio-kids, who might possibly inherit my bad genes? I don't give a shit. Come at me, try and stop me. If I have to fight an ableist world to thrive and reproduce, that just makes me stronger than the abled people who can afford to be lazy.

(HN really, really doesn't like sarcasm. But this particular story just absolutely drips with irrational hate and really deserves some. Good grief, new product has correctible flaw!)
I can understand where the author is coming from, but this is the cruel reality of the world.

> "I have sat in philosophy seminars where it was asserted that I should be left to die on a desert island if the choice was between saving me and saving an arbitrary non-disabled person"

I would compare this to situations where you are choosing a person with high IQ vs low IQ, or to choosing someone very attractive vs very ugly. The way I see it is these choices are completely rational and not a moral judgement on the people themselves.

I'm not angry because some people are more attractive, smarter or more charismatic than me and therefore have more access to opportunities. That is just the way humans work.

Interestingly, anger and bitterness is also the same reaction that men who are "incels" or who become disillusioned with women tend to have. Though they are shunned for this, whereas I doubt people will be shunning the author for their point of view. Perhaps this type of reaction is the generic reaction people have when they are rejected or shunned from society in some way.
FWIW, I have Starlink and I'm in Pahrump, NV. We hit 111F today and my dishy is in direct sunlight so easily was over 122F on surfaces. Didn't go into thermal shutdown, no disruptions in service, and I didn't have to water it either.
I spent a bit of time on Recompose’s site a couple of months back out of curiosity. One of the things that stuck out to me was that there were stipulations regarding a person’s medical records. The presence of prion diseases or hepatitis were listed as reasons one could be rejected by Recompose, among other illnesses.

I want to say they’re aware of the issue, but when I went back to look for this info today I couldn’t find it. So unfortunately you’ll have to take this with a grain of salt.

That exactly matches the philosophy of this organization:

https://www.memorysafety.org/about/

> We recognize the amount of work it will take to move significant portions of the Internet’s C and C++ software infrastructure to memory safe code, but the Internet will be around for a long time. There is time for ambitious efforts to pay off. By being smart about our initial investments, focusing on the most critical components, we can start seeing significant returns within 1-2 years.

> We encourage projects to replace libraries or modular functionality with memory safe libraries, rather than embark upon ground-up rewrites. This allows us to break up the work into manageable pieces and deliver value incrementally.

> Since many projects will end up using the same memory safe libraries, this approach also allows us to invest and build confidence in a particular set of libraries. Investments in a library for one project will add value across multiple projects. For example - the curl project will use the Hyper and Rustls libraries. The work we do to build excellent C API wrappers and improve the integration experience will help with many projects that will use the libraries in the future.
I always enjoy reading Vitalik's posts.

I remember many years ago back when Bitcoin was fun. I traded it back and forth with friends for pizza and such. I even used it once at a hip restaurant in town. Some Bitcoin forum (the name of which escapes me atm) had a bitcoin drip, which would give you a free Bitcoin every once in a while. But then Bitcoin's value exploded, it's not very useful anymore since transaction fees are so high and its value is so volatile, no one can mine it on their home machines, and its ecological disaster. But it used to be just a cool, kind of hacker niche, and was fun to think about the underlying technology and possibilities.

Vitalik's explorations with Ethereum have kind of a similar vibe to me. It's neat to think about the tech and how it works, and to try to come up with attacks and such. And if it ever moves to Proof of Stake, I won't have that guilty conscience playing with it. Of course, all of this on top of a $100 billion valuation is kind of frightening and weird. I hate to say it, but I'm not sure I'd mind a crazy crypto crash, just to explore this technology some more without the crazy monetary incentives.
My recollection is somewhat different. Here in the US, the advice was not that masks were useless, but that they were in such short supply (especially N95 masks) that it was best to reserve them for medical professionals who were at the greatest risk.

A cottage industry developed quickly of people making masks at home and giving/selling to their neighbors. I remember buying several from a high school graduate in the neighborhood, very early in the pandemic.
Thank you Kazakhstan for the apple. I think a bunch of Roman's brought it over to what would become the UK eventually.

I overall agree with the sentiment on delivery and needing to deal with a variety of issues, but one nit:

If it were my business or my team I would want an ML Engineer to relentlessly knock down any barriers to getting models into production.

My favorite is when they knock down the question of whether a certain project even needs ML to focus on getting ML into production.

Many teams fail at ML because there was an essential task that nobody wanted to do that didn't get done.

Many teams fail at ML because there was a task that didn't need ML (or at least anything more than a linear model) that is made opaque to anyone but an ML engineer after they implement it.
Those full stack roles are still relatively common (though decreasingly so, as you pointed out) at companies with small data science orgs, on the order of 10 people. But they're still usually called "data scientist," while I think of more specialized roles like MLE, ML ops, data engineer, data ops, etc. as cropping up in bigger and/or more mature data science teams. Calling it MLE instead of data scientist could be a screening technique though.

Right, but your point seems to be getting at Starlink owing you a functioning dish in your climate, which is just kind of an odd take. There are dozens of products that are a bad fit for where I live.

If it makes economic sense, I'm sure they'll fix it or someone else will do it better eventually. If not, maybe the municipal governments can subsidize something that works there?
Yes? If you advertise a flaw, it remains a flaw.
I have Starlink and I'm in Pahrump, NV. We hit 111F today and my dishy is in direct sunlight on the ground so it was easily over 120F. Hell, my direct sunlight thermometer showed over 130F! Didn't go into thermal shutdown, no disruptions in service, and I didn't have to water it either.
That’s right. You can’t get at causation by passively looking at data. You need an intervention. One stage of a clinical trial looks at safety by giving some people the vaccine and other people a placebo. You then look for excess deaths in the vaccinated people. The author is ignoring crucial clinical trial interventions and instead using shoddy correlations to passively imply causations that do not exist.

The people that volunteered for the clinical trials took the real risk and this article is a disservice to their altruism

> Newman's beatification was still dragging on fitfully when Pope Benedict fast-tracked him two years ago. On a wet October day in 2008, an assortment of priests and grave-diggers arrived at the cemetery in Rednal, armed with shovels and a mechanical digger. They planned to transfer Newman's remains to a tomb back at his church in Birmingham. Nothing was found except the brass name-plate and a few bits of rotten wood. A solution to the mystery was discovered in the archives of the Birmingham Post. A journalist at the burial reported that, on Newman’s orders, the grave was filled with compost to hasten decomposition. His corpse (someone described him in great age as toothless and shrivelled like "a shrimp") had apparently dissolved into the soil. He had cheated the relic hunters.

You can absolutely do that but it will make the speaker sound like crap.
Facebook became popular because it was possibly to just observe and not be forced to participate. Everything before Facebook told you when and who viewed your content, Facebook didn't and explicitly banned any sort of apps tat could log who saw your stuff.

So forcing participation sounds good in theory but in practice people love to lurk and hates being seen, even those who produce content. And since Facebook every new social media phenomena like Twitter or Instagram also doesn't show you who looked around at your stuff, so allowing non participation is a must in any social media today for it to become popular.
