There's specialists with different passions everywhere, and it's good that they exist. Having everyone focus on only the problems you mentioned wouldn't add to them. It would have diminishing returns. There's an evolutionary reason why different people naturally develop different passions, from maintenance to innovation to many other categories.

For example would you divert Elon Musk to start solving one of the problems you mentioned and still do that with similar passion? Would you expect that to help the situation?

And also this type of investment is diversification.

Bicycle Network Improvement Problem: Algorithms and a Case Study in Atlanta
I didn't even know there is such a "reputation" option. Today Windows configuration windows are way harder to find anything (what you don't already know is there/where) in than they used to be even in Windows 7, let alone XP (where everything was way more intuitive and easy to discover). As for submitting the files to Microsoft - I believe I have disabled that but in the today context I can't be sure it didn't get enabled on itself.

Definite solution? It's a definite non-solution, even if the plasma physics is more nailed down. The ARC reactor (fully scaled up SPARC with tritium breeding blanket) would have a power density 40x worse than a PWR primary reactor vessel, and supplying the world's primary energy demand with them would require 100x more beryllium than the USGS estimated resource (not reserve) of that element.

> If it wastes 8 hours of employee time per month, that’s another $1k a month lost… it’ll require expensive developer time (likely costing the company $1000-$1500/day per engineer all-in)

That's not universally true, of course. That money would buy you a week of developer time in most of Europe, and even a month of developer time in some developing economies.

There was no assumption that other minds work like mine in this respect.

The point I evidently failed to get across was that there are lots of ideas around and you don't need to generate them yourself. People who like generating ideas generate far more than they can hope to work on and often would love to see others carry them forward.
The point of Magnuson-Moss is that cleaning your device doesn’t void the warranty (assuming the warranty issue doesn’t arise from the cleaning).

Removing a sticker that says “warranty void if sticker removed” doesn’t void your warranty.

It really is. AWS never increases prices, let alone retroactively. They make such massive margins where they do make money they absolutely do not need to use underhanded tactics to milk their customers who are more than happy to hand out money of their own volition.

They give out hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit just so you can use their crack.

Scott Alexander's review of the book is worth reading:

> Julian Jaynes’ The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind is a brilliant book, with only two minor flaws. First, that it purports to explains the origin of consciousness. And second, that it posits a breakdown of the bicameral mind. I think it’s possible to route around these flaws while keeping the thesis otherwise intact. So I’m going to start by reviewing a slightly different book, the one Jaynes should have written. Then I’ll talk about the more dubious one he actually wrote. [1]

TBH, I am not that a big fan of microk8s. I have it deployed on VPS and it's far from stable.

The server itself, is, probably, overprovision, but I still struggle with responsiveness, logging, and ingress/service management. What's also funny, that using the Ubuntu's ufw service is not that seamless together with microk8s.

I am think of moving now to k3s. The only thing that's holding me back is that k3s doesn't use nginx for ingress so I'll need to change some configs.

Also, the local storage options are not that clear.
Also, both Haiti and the DR are frequently (~every 5 years?) hit by hurricanes, with earthquakes and flooding also mixed in.

Consequently, if there's a difference in the rate at which infrastructure is built, it's going to more heavily affect Haiti.

Or, to put it another way: a hurricane knocks out a power line that took Haiti 5 years to get in place, vs DR 3. Haiti loses 10 years of infrastructure (initial + rebuild) while the DR only loses 6. To say nothing of the lost economic activity while replacing.
I design and implement products. That is what my resume says along with the list of said products and some references. This is usually enough to land me a contract. Been on my own 20 years already and make money from some products of my own or creating those for clients. The last thing I need is a job at FAANG.

Besides if it warm the cockles of your heart so much you can always take any of my products and shove it in the container and run it under k8.

I agree; it's a tool for censorship. Also, upvote is a tool for propaganda.

If implemented honestly, downvote (and upvote) would be fine, but it's not gonna happen. The downvote functionality will be an excuse to censor content. At the end of the day, it's always about financial interests.

Views which promote the interests of the financial elite and wealth centralization are upvoted, views which promote decentralization or work against the interests of financial elites are downvoted.
In this case the man left his house with a firearm and the police did not shoot him — he had a heart attack. The harassment in this case was not just SWAT-ing, but also ordering pizzas, harassing relatives, etc.

Unfortunately, harsh sentencing and tougher enforcement/legal action against the perpetrators is probably the only way to stop the issue.
Not to mention the technical base needed to go to space, that could very well be damaged by even lesser disasters.
As I understand it, they inject two plasmoids into the central solenoid, then compress the merged plasma by increasing the magnetic field there. After a short burn, the magnetic field there is reduced, with the (now hotter) plasma pushing against it. In this last step energy can be withdraw from the magnet and recovered.
That kinda makes sense, thanks.

However, wouldn’t this kind of heuristic be extremely simple to counter by obfuscating the machine code, e.g. by inserting complex noops and using threaded subroutines which individually look innocuous? Or, are this kind of techniques looking at known syscall patterns or something like that, and ignoring the general program flow?

To me, regex doesn’t seem applicable to static analysis of machine code, but what do I know :)
> upvote downvoted comments that I think are perfectly fine

I can't speak for what you are specifically upvoting that gets so many downvotes, BUT it's entirely plausible that what you think is fine is against the guidelines, and hence an interpretation for "being controversial".

Good example (that you may or may have not done, again, I don't know):

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

Let's say you see several anonymous "green" posts that get downvoted into oblivion but find those posts beneficial to the discussion (which is very plausible btw). Well, as per the guidelines, just creating these anonymous users is a big no-no. Hence, I would deem someone who continually upvoted those as trying to spark controversy - even though their upvotes were probably very innocent.

I've been on HN for a very long time - it's hard to follow the guidelines btw.
As an American expat who has lives on Hispaniola for more than a decade, I have a pretty strong opinion on this.

I can’t be sure how much of this is casual and how much is symptomatic, but I I strongly believe that the main driver of the -current outlook- is culture.

Both Haiti and the Dominican Republic are majority slave- descendants.

Spanish were inclusive with their culture, tending to extend it to slaves, and Dominicans largely see themselves as descendants of Spanish colonists. They idolize the Spanish royalty, and fully embrace Spanish culture and language.

In contrast, the French were exclusive. As a result, harían culture is not particularly French, is much less cohesive, and shows deep cracks from the shattering of culture that was the circumstances of most of its early people.

Hatian farming practices tend towards being consumptive and destructive, lacking the benefit of science and long term thinking.

Often, land farmed by Haitian immigrants where I live is utterly barren within 5 years from extensive herbicide and pesticide use, local water sources contaminated and irrigation systems filled with mud from soil erosion.

Land tended by Dominicans, under the advice of agronimos, flourishes alongside, with less chemical intervention.

Clearly this is a matter of education, but also a result of a cultural resistance to education.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have tried to caution hatian workers dripping with pesticides that they need to be careful, that those chemicals will harm them, only to be told that “Haitians are immune to pesticides” or that they are not dangerous because they do not feel sick, and the advice is utterly ignored. Same for soil conservation techniques, even though they can clearly see that the technique is working for a farm 50 meters from where they are standing.

Harinas tend to see themselves as descendants of slaves rather than colonists, and deeply distrust any information not from “traditional” sources (ie magic, religion, their parents)

Obviously these sweeping generalizations and are far from universal, but nonetheless there is enough of this that it is hard to imagine a prosperous future for Haiti. The hope I do have comes from the very bright Haitians I have met that are on the complete opposite side of the fence, educated, progressive, and mostly utterly without hope for their country.
What reasoning? The GP's post is completely devoid of any reasoning, for as far as I can see.
it's simply a hypothesis formed by experts. you're doing a disservice to yourself and the general purpose of acience by denigrating the concept this way.

Here in Hungary I filed my taxes with the government provided Java application, on my Linux computer. No problems whatsoever.
> This is kind of ignoring the elephant in the room, which is that Haiti was born from a successful slave revolt and and one of the first things it did as an independent country was to expel or kill virtually all the whites, expropriate their property and destroy all the institutions associated with them. Both culturally and genetically (95.5% per Wikipedia), Haiti thus has a lot in common with sub-Saharan Africa,

So they were a society of uneducated ex-slaves with no institutions. That's likely enough to explain the difference by itself?

A flood may well be the best explanation for the Atlantis myth, a flood may also be the best explanation for the Noah/Utnapishtim myth. However since we know of many prehistoric floods, it's pure speculation to arbitrarily link them both to the same flood event.
I'm not sure how they can make it easier than what it currently is, no need for any unofficial channels. If you follow the guide at https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started to install Clojure, you'll end up with `clj` in your `$PATH`, and then it is as easy as it is with Python, unless I misunderstand what you mean.

The definition of algorithm is wider than you think. As your parent poster noted, "greedy algorithms" exist (as do many other algorithms which provide suboptimal answers). You can easily verify this by googling.
"failed public services"? Are we talking about the systems that were all privatized to make them more "efficient"?

Not in London of course, the one area you say is actually vaguely working, and is run as some kind of centrally planned, joined up transport system. So its not "failed public services" is it, its "intentionally sabotaged for ideological reasons private services that are currently being re-nationalized in many cases because it was such an unmitigated disaster and now have to recover from decades of intentional neglect and underfunding".

But as you say, why would anyone with enough money care about having an efficent, effective transport sytem for the country. It's not like the economy relies on it as a basic piece of infrastructure to move workers and products around in addition to general improvements in quality of life of citizens.
Confirm. Tried the Bose against a lot of others last week, and the Bose was by far the best. But €300 is a lot.
He has created million or more times more value than an average human being.

To make it simple.

Would you live in a village where you have 1000 people with 1 apple to eat, or 999 people with 3 apples to eat and one guy with 1000 apples, because he was able to find a way to grow many more apples per day?

Conclusion:
Jeff Bezos has added enormous amounts of value to the world.

I guess you will probably say something like, "but I would like to live in a world where this person must give away most of those apples, until he maybe has only 6 apples per day and others have 4". Would this person have still been as motivated to take a risk - which entrepreneurism is all about? Especially knowing that maybe 5% of the start ups will succeed.

In such world, no one will take risks and everyone stays with 1 or 2 apples per day. There's a reason US has so many successful unicorn start ups.

It takes skill, talent, passion, resources and massive amount of luck to pull of what Jeff Bezos did. In a more socialized version of this system, it would have not happened.

The more you tax potential returns and reward, the less risk or resources would people be willing to put in to create something new.
Human Perception of Audio Deepfakes
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.09667.pdf

"...To compare the ability of humans and machines in detecting audio deepfakes, we conducted an online gamified experiment in which we asked users to discern bonda-fide audio samples from spoofed audio, generated with a variety of algorithms. 200 users competed for 8976 game rounds with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm trained for audio deepfake detection. With the collected data we found that the machine generally outperforms the humans in detecting audio deepfakes, but that the converse holds for a certain attack type, for which humans are still more accurate..."

I got my first computer in the early 90's, so for the very same reason vintage computers fascinate me. I started with C64 as it's cheap and got amazing community around. To this day, couple of brand new games are released every year. Mine got wifi card and SD card reader. I actually got already 3 different commodore64 models, as I couldn't decide which one I like the most. Amigas are great, but they also are getting expensive. I bought my c64 for 50 Euro with the cables etc.
climate change is having wide and radically accelerating impacts. I'm certain the scientists have good insights into why it might be a factor in this event. much more concerning is the knee-jerk ignorance about climate change among lay audiences who are repeatedly putting their hands over their eyes and ears.

But I think the parent comment's point is just that if you start with low-level, you can always build on top of it, but the other way around you have to wait for the API vendor to give you the low level access you need.

I hear that you are saying Metal does a better job of being a convenient graphics API than Vulkan. I am just having trouble parsing why this would be an objective problem with Vulkan, rather than you just not being the target audience of this API.
And anywhere with a good IT department would say "bye". From my experience, people with reasonable technical skills are the most likely people to defy IT policies, even without admin rights.
I am not sure if you can answer the question. It depends on the bug of course. If data sets of a production system are affected, it can indeed mean a lot of work

For some other bugs there might not be a difference. There cannot be a general answer to this question, there are too many factors involved.

Modern development makes some things easier than it was in the past. Then again there will also be new problems.
"containers" are just a combination of multiple kernel features, one of which does precisely that (user namespaces).

Given Google's history I couldn't think of a worse platform on which to build a business that is responsible for putting food on your table.

When they start rate limiting and banning your users they'll be the ones demanding refunds from you.

On top of that users would need to commit their data to Google's ownership and if they're using the free versions of Sheets good luck if their account gets locked because the algorithm demands it to be so.
We have both Nomad (Consul + Vault + Nomad) and Kubernetes (hosted and on prem) running, both excel at different things.

I love Nomad's flexibility and ease of use, a simple hcl file and I (and all the devs) can debug and understand what is going with the deployment without wasting a whole sprint, debugging and understanding the systems is trivial. However I agree parts of the documentation should be fixed and can confuse people who want to start up and it's also relatively "new" insofar that there is a small but growing community around it.
I love Kubernetes because of the community, if there's a Helm chart for a service, it's going to work in 80% of the cases. If however there are bugs in the helm chart, or something is quite not on the beaten path, then good luck. Most of the time wasted on Kubernetes was the inexperience of the operators and also the esoteric bugs that can happen now and then. Building on top of things that have been done before is a great way to win time and flexibility but it shouldn't be an excuse to not understand them (helm charts as an example).

In both cases, you always need an ops team to take care of the clusters. For Nomad, 2/3 people are enough. For Kubernetes you will need 5+ people depending on the size and locality of the cluster, if you want to do things right, that is. If your dev team is managing them it's already game over and just a question of time until you made yourself more real problems than you initially had.

What bugs me the most however is the cargo culting around the tools serving as a "beating around the bush" technique to not do actual work. They're just that, tools, if you have to deploy a rails or django app with an sqlite database just do it on metal with a two liner "ci/cd" and grow from there. If it gets bigger, sure, go for Kubernetes to manage the deployments and auto scale, but be damn sure that you can debug anything that goes wrong within minutes/hours. If things go wrong and there's no hit on your googled error code you essentially fall from your highest level of abstraction and are at the mercy of consultants that will both waste your time in writing requirements and waste your money by taking too much time than was initially planned and agreed upon (my experience, sample size N=6).

A very simplistic take. Human beings lived in cooperative communities for millennia. To a certain extent it wouldn't be unfair to say that our natural state is one of cooperation within a community. It's large scale civilization we haven't figured out how to deal with.
