Distributed databases are cool.

There are a couple of approaches that could involve multiple payment providers over redundant networks so switch to something else.

For inventory, since it’s likely only temporary transactions can be stored locally and then synced when back online.

Theoretically the design could be distributed all the time and just keep working the same while disconnected with some potential reorders and restocks slowed down or delayed.

Or, you know, blockchain inventory or something.
The for loop syntax was a bit of a turnoff, but the “cloak” functionality has me wanting to try this on my next small project.
> What is "infamous" about a bus?

They're considered a symbol of the class divide. Not a cause, but just a visible display of the income inequality present in the city. Poor people don't get a "workaround" for the the Bay Area's awful/nonexistent transportation system, they have to either rely on private cars or take public transit anyways.
the reason python was used is because of its portability and robustness; it can be made to work (without problems) on pretty much any platform, plus it's omnipresent and has an extensive enough standard library to write things without pulling in tons of dependencies

it's also not actually a package management tool per se (that's handled by apk-tools) but really just a build system (it creates apk repositories) similar to ports, void-packages, etc.

i'm also a Void Linux developer, and the new system is based on my experiences with xbps-src (trying to avoid its problems)
It's received wisdom on HN that the Bay Area housing crisis is caused by NIMBYs and restrictive zoning laws.

On the other hand my sense, based on anecdata, is that a large proportion of the condos constructed in the past 15-ish years in eastern SF (Embarcadero, Rincon, etc.) and SOMA/Dogpatch are owned by absentee landlords as investment property. Since these folk are mostly rich SV types (or wealthy overseas investors), they can afford the eye-watering prices. Their renters are also well-paid techies, so they can pay the hyper-inflated rents.

So I believe the housing crisis is instead a result of society deciding that no one actually has a right to a home of their own. Instead, it is in fact a good thing to engage in literally rent-seeking behavior[0] and we should all be in a race to accumulate the most wealth we can to pass down to our offspring, so that they can continue this cycle.

If my analysis is correct, then more construction will just result in more of the same. Rich people buying 2 and 3rd homes that they rent out to people who are here for the short term and can afford inflated rents.

It seems to me a good first step would instead be to slap a Vancouver-style 15% property tax on any home that is not occupied by the owner (not just foreigners). Of course, there is no way in hell Californians will actually do something that requires actual self-sacrifice, so that's never going to happen.

( I have more anecdata about SV residents buying 2 or 3 houses in the Austin area in order to capitalize on the real estate boom caused by other SV ex-residents moving there, further driving up costs in the area. But let's restrict the discussion to SF Bay Area for now).

This theory is obviously based on feels rather than data, since I don't know of any way to actually get ownership/residence data broken down this way. That would probably violate all kinds of privacy laws.

I would love to be disabused of my notions with data. Not motivated-reasoning "studies" by think-tanks who have vested interests, but actual data.

Almost every transaction at a place like this will be with a card. I'm not even sure if most Swedes have enough cash on them to deal with with.
A lot of comment mentioned about IPC, but something obvious no one has mentioned ( yet ).

For Server is it also about core count. For the same TDP AMD offer 64 Core option. On a Dual Socket System that is 128 Core. Zen 3 Milan is also socket compatible with Zen 2 Rome.

Basically for Server Intel has been stuck on 14nm for far too long. The first 14nm Broadwell Xeon was released in 2015, and as of mid 2021 Intel barely started rolling out 10nm Xeon Part based on IceLake.

That is half a decade of stagnation. But we are now finally getting 7nm server part, 5nm with Zen 4 and and SRAM Die Stacking. I am only hoping EUV + DDR5 will bring Server ECC DRAM price down as well. In a few years time we will have affordable ( relatively speaking ) Dual Socket 256 Core Server with Terabyte of RAM. Get a few of those and be done with scaling for 90% of us. ( I mean the whole StackOverflow is Served with 9 Web Server [1] on some not very powerful hardware [2] )

Well I was a kid and living outside the US at the time and I saw some newspaper which said something about an alien's body having been found in the US.

I asked my dad if it was true and he said something like "Haha no, American media always talks about UFOs to distract their citizens."

My dad implied that he had seen this trick before. Now seeing this as an adult over 20 years later, I'm getting flashbacks. That's all.

It just feels like UFO news keep coming up out of nowhere and it's so boring and distracting because you know it's fake. It's a weather baloon or it's a toy helicopter or it's a spy drone or it's a trick of the light or it's a damn bird. We're been there before. Nothing new at all. Why would the government have hidden evidence of aliens, why tell everyone now releasing all evidence at once? Clearly there is an element of timing. But why choose this particular time when there are so many more important news to discuss? Two years ago there was nothing happening at all. That would have been a great time. It doesn't make any sense. I can't believe I have to explain this. Am I a genius? It's so obvious to me.

This is apparently a common problem in India. There is even an “Association of dead people”.

Update: That is actually mentioned in the article. I had only skimmed it, and missed that somehow. Oops.
While it is true that older software is extremely snappy if you compare it with what we use today, it is not that hard to find examples where we have come a long way. Off the top of my head:

- You can mix chinese and russian characters in a document [pervasive use and support for unicode]

- Your computer won't get zombified minutes after you connect it to the internet [lots of security improvements]

- You can connect a random usb thingy with a much much lower probability of your computer getting instantly owned [driver isolation]

- You can use wifi with some reliability [more complex, stable and faster communication protocols]

- You can have a trackpad that doesn't suck [commodization of non-trivial algorithms/techniques that did not exist back then]

- Files won't get corrupted time and again at every power failure [lots of stability improvements]

Whether all of the above could be achieved with the _very performance oriented_ techniques and approaches that used to be common in older software is debatable at least. In any case, a lot of the slowness we pay for toady is in exchange of actually being able to deal with the complexities necessary to achieve those things in reasonable time/cost.
I’ve been thinking it would perhaps be a good idea to shut down the power grid a couple of days a year to get this kind of resilience exercise.
Unfortunately this seems to be how a lot of articles at the economist are produced now. Im having trouble finding any news now that the economist has also gone way down hill.

I get that downvotes are frustrating, especially when you don’t understand why you’re receiving them. I think your edit is generally not a constructive or helpful response to that.
> Talking to a machine is not an opportunity to be polite because you cannot actually be polite to a machine.

Utter nonsense.
And even when you write code the interesting bits are the minority of what you take care of. Writing tests, making sure that errors are handled correctly and CRUD take a significant portion of time and they are simply not interesting if you've been doing this for a while.
If some UAP is a physical object doing the apparent high-g maneuvers, the g-forces on the onboard electronics are the least of its problems.

The sort of apparent movements of many UAPs would cause extreme heating of the air. They'd leave trails of hot ionized gas in their wake and cause sonic booms. The trails would show up on radar and infrared. The FLIR cameras many UAPs are captured on would easily detect their wakes if they were in fact physical objects. When those wakes cooled they'd also form condensation trails.

Being that we don't ever see any of those things with UAPs it should be apparent they're sensor artifacts or detection of mundane objects from weird perspectives. No drone or alien spaceship is going to emit visible and infrared light detectable on a camera yet not physically interact with the atmosphere.

Yeah, computational capital is just a special case of capital in general, albeit one that will likely be highly important going forward.
Good question. I’d guess it’s probably a mix of several contributing factors:

- For immigrants from (non-EU) countries, it can be hard to almost impossible to obtain a work permit. If the police learns they’re dealing with such a case, they know the perpetrator is probably going to pick up the same business no matter whether they spend one night behind bars or three years. They’re probably going to go back to selling drugs either way. But that means two things: 1. Putting those people (who certainly need a way to feed their families) behind bars is not going to be worth the hassle. 2. The desire to do meaningful work can cause police officers to look away and focus on other kinds of crime (and often prevention) where they feel their work has an actual impact.

- German prisons are usually not privately owned or operated. There’s relatively little incentive to fill them, and each prisoner costs the state money.

- The German justice system is leaning more towards rehabilitating criminals than punishing them. Judges know very well what trade-offs are involved whenever they lock a person away so they tend to hand out prison terms rather conservatively.

It already is a major cause of resentment in the US. Both political parties hate Google and Facebook for becoming too influential, even though the parties disagree about whom that influence is helping.
This reminds me of the scene in altered carbon where [spoiler] someone’s real-time backup of themself gets corrupted so when they get killed they are permanently killed.

> Probably good that not everyone in the world thinks the way I do.

It's funny because HN (in contrast to the world at large) seems to be frequented by a lot of people who are gifted with the forward-looking contingency mindset. I'll bet that's why you got upvoted, and it's probably why the article was posted.

One reason why a community like this would exist online is because it's effectively a saf...err I mean friendly place for people who are concerned about future events, but in a positive, problem-solving sort of way. The rest of the world doesn't always reward this or want to hear about it.

IT, operations, and even software development need people who can think this way (particularly the opportunistic side of software dev, as it is more COTS-components oriented and thus less NIH and thus theoretically more battle-tested/hardened against future events).

Sadly one of the things I've noticed about those with this mindset is that if they are not able to act on their perceptions constructively, for example if they were raised in an environment where it was considered a crazy way to think about things (focus only on past or present), it can turn into a more subjective, fear-based practice. In those cases it seems you get more outcomes like a stance where even just going outside feels to a person more like gambling with their life. Just observationally speaking...

Article seems to suggest that SF lots aren't large enough for 4-plexes to be economically feasible. I wonder what the minimum height is for this to work. Five stories perhaps?

The SF supervisor Mandelman who was mentioned in the article has been against all of Weiner's housing bills, so he has zero credibility in my book.

That is the only reasonable thing to do IMO.

Besides some of them are verified by multiple independent sensor systems.

Does this mean I think we are visited by extraterrestrials?

No. Edit: Or rather, I don't have any strong opinion on it but I that would not be my best guess.

Only that I find some "debunking" claims as convincing as the end of a Scooby-Doo episode: The monster on chicken legs turns out to be not the prime suspect but someone else and there is no way he could have fit into that costume.

Ricoma Em-1010 Best Home Embroidery Machine
There are many embroidery machines that are suitable for commercial scale, but if you want to start your business from home, or if you have just initiated your business from a small level, then all you need is a perfect home embroidery machine.
But when you think about military camera's they need to track other planes, which are big, I think they are probably engineered to a spec that may mean smaller objects just blur out.
I know it's nice to think about the military having tons of really cool stuff, but there's a lot of cost effective engineering that's deployed.

How does computational power map to value that people experience?

For instance if you are hungry or homeless is Sheryl Sandberg going to say "Let them eat Bitcoins?"

People who are "learning A.I." are going to see the cost of training as significant, but they're usually working with data from Kaggle or other public data such that (1) they don't see the cost of labeling and curating data, and (2) they are making a product w/o commercial value (the data set isn't meant to do that)

Commercially relevant A.I. by definition has to do inference many more times than it does training and at a scale much larger than the labeling (otherwise you could just get the labeler to do the task more economically than inference.)

It's backwards to how outsiders think, but if A.I. is going to change the world the cost of inference has to drop, not the cost of training; that's what A.I. needs to deliver value at a lower cost than training.

---

One of two personal projects I have now now is about delivering the maximum value from inkjet printing; some of that is communicating that my print with a material cost of 6 cents (+4 cents for the removable 3M double-sided tape to stick it to the wall) is a public affordance and I want you to "steal" it or otherwise take it off the wall so you can enjoy both sides of it, otherwise it's a failure.

People love to talk endlessly about how $5 M NFT(s) are going to change the world but with a $25 materials budget and relentless attention to quality and cost control I can transform your little piece piece of it.

I might sound like a subartistic nerd but I see attention to the little things and continuous progress as unlocking technology, not some alternation between worshiping and fearing "Big Tech".
I, too, like selectively quoting claims while omitting the arguments behind them so I can dismiss them more easily.
>"If I am happy at home, I come into the office with tremendous energy," Bezos said. "And if I am happy at work, I come home with tremendous energy."

I know Bezos has folded a lot of boxes himself when the company started out, but somehow I get the impression he can't really relate to people who've been pulling night shifts at his warehouse for years to maybe get a few dollars of a raise because after a few of those you don't come home with tremendous energy.

Well my neighbor works in construction and would park several of his giant dump trucks in the street parking and the crew would gather outside every morning making a ruckus while leaving for the day. It was terrible and I was glad the code department put a stop to that and made every person in that neighborhood happy.

This reasoning is exactly why I stopped being a libertarian, the free market has no recourse mechanisms for actors making peoples lives worse.
Coop is the "Major Swedish supermarket hit by cyberattack" and it's not bad but they are posting alternatives because all Coop are closed due to the attack.

My Neovim 0.5 Confuguration
The root problem seems to be that most businesses treat IT security as a cost center, rather than a value center.

How do I spend the least amount to get "security"? Rather than, what risk mitigation is appropriate for my business, and how can I gain value from approaching or exceeding that?

It feels like part of the problem is not blending IT security into a peer level with the Operations org, as that's what it functionally is to most companies these days, and looking at it from a revenue risk mitigation perspective makes more sense for funding it appropriately.
Tiny FORTH from scratch in 1 week (bootloader-based Arduino UNO, 2K of RAM)
Consider that your SIMD instruction might itself take a tag mask and the ALU need only do equality on the tag field. In fact it could do that in parallel with the ALU op; on mismatch you could simply discard the current state and abort the operation. However realistically you’d want the same set of SIMD instructions as an I tagged architecture anyway.

Also I expect any compiler would assume that the contents of an array subject to SIMD computation would be homogeneous anyway, perhaps trying to enforce it elsewhere.

In any case this doesn’t seem like a big deal to me…but I could be wrong!

If your existence is an edge case no lawyer can help you. As the article said, even the justice minister of France is aware of the issue, yet not willing to act on it.

A much less severe version of this is changing your first name (or, indeed, gender marker). Systems are only now gaining the ability to even change some of these records, but often it is up to the people with limited access to these systems to "work around" them. Whenever possible I didn't even ask to change my name, just close one account and make another. Including with a bank that actually suggested I do this.
There are some people benefiting from wars, also.
You are looking at this wrong. The point here is making it easier to build larger buildings and smaller units.

Density and more building will increase land values, yes. We shouldn't strive for land values going down.

But build enough, and floor value go down. This is the efficiency of land use increasing ahead of of demand, decreasing prices.

Public housing is needed because it is quite the private sector cannot be relied upon building enough to decrease precises. Even without all he zoning bullshit, housing is still quite an inelastic marke.
I would think that in a grocery store, the registers are deeply integrated with the inventory control. That's not needed in a restaurant, registers just collect cash/card.

So, in the former, catching up is much harder - you might need to take an inventory if the outage is lengthy, which is a PITA. The requirements probably didn't include offline mode.

The Orwellian Aspect of Social Media
UMAP is typically used for embeddings that get displayed to a human, so 2 or 3 dimensions is typical.

It doesn’t really suit inference/prediction because you can’t really add new data without influencing the embedding values of the other data. It’s not like PCA where you can learn a projection once and then map new data points to the same embedding space.
