> pasting bits of text that was in English or another common language

If they use many (maybe three? four? or more) character sets in the same post, or different character sets in any single word, then that'd be highly suspicious?

Whilst still letting people copy paste from another language

The article does mention this a bit, and (after reading quite a bit of Gemini content) I agree:

'The links are awkwardly placed, and the "placeholder" markers
(such as numbers or brackets) to connect the text to the link below
has not gelled to a standard.'

It's like hashtags in tweets - it'll eventually become some kind of community ad-hoc standard, that will be inferior to simple inline links. I guess it makes things harder to parse, so understand why they did it - but inline links is HTML's killer feature. The rest is fluff!
Tunnel would reflect the radar signals, obfuscating the data. You would also be highly limited in the size of models you can test by the size of the tunnel.

To test in flight you'd need a functional aircraft as opposed to a cheap mockup. Further an aircraft in flight has to move quickly to stay aloft, and its exact position and orientation can't be precisely controlled. A model on a pylon stays put exactly where you want it for as long as you need it to.
We migrated from Appengine Standard to GKE. All those additional services you referenced are available as standalone APIs in GCP so we just migrated the compute to GKE and had our application code call the GCP APIs for all those services instead of the appengine library calls.
As of 3.0 you can apparently run docker-compose directly against podman in daemon mode (thought I haven't tried it).
Interesting idea!

The colors need more grading, though. Grand prix is the same color as climbing 6km, but an order of magnitude less risky.

> there's not a easy/inexpensive method for me to sign up and join the "bandwidth alliance"

Not unless you run a data center and intend to peer with other bandwidth providers to join your intranet to the internet. It's intended for large service providers like Cloudflare/Backblaze that do direct bandwidth interconnect at physical locations and don't have to involve other intermediaries (like Level 3) to move data between members.

Otherwise you "join" by hosting services/content with an Alliance member and making sure you only use other services that do the same. Even then, bandwidth isn't always free (Azure and GCP still have some costs, for example, but discounted).
But this is a problem of free markets. What was amateur in the past was free. What is amateur now is tied to some additional paid content.

I do not want to take away income from awesome people who choose to do that, but I also don't like fakes. Anyone who is producing content for money is or will eventually be scripting and producing the content. Thus, it will no longer be real, amateur. It might be low quality (and amateur in that regard), but it will not be real people enjoying real life with no other consideration at that moment.

So if everything is leading toward fake, perhaps we should just focus on building believable fake content to our ideal specifications.
Checking them in at a locker at the edge of base is probably sufficient, at least for an airbase. It's not like you can actually hide those in the days ubiquitous satellite imagery, right? For some other types of facilities, maybe check them in off-site somewhere before you transport people in (because otherwise how secret can it be if you can just follow someone's car?).

Letting people transmit GPS coordinates while walking around a military facility though? Yeah, maybe that's not a good idea.
In a tiny handful of high-profile cases yes. Realistically it's a lot less likely than e.g. getting randomly hit by a car, and so we shouldn't let it change our behaviour.
The main political tool is inconsistent application of policies. When one side gets to troll as much as they want while the others side trolls gets punished then you have a problem.

Have you ever been to a Javascript conference? It's like the biggest wokefest. Somehow, the JS ecosystem also has the most insane turnover of frameworks, bugs galore and utter lack of respect for robustness, excellence or quality. Coincidence?

> The containership industry is a good illustration of the supply chain mess: as shown in the first chart, more than 70 containerships are stacked up outside Los Angeles/Long Beach ports waiting to unload. Idle containerships are back to just 3% of the total fleet, shipping costs are surging, manufacturing delivery times are extended and rail shipments are declining sharply from their summer peak, illustrating the far reaching impact of the delays.

I'm surprised that the article doesn't take up what happens when that logjam eventually clears.

At some point those ships will clear out of LA and there will be no more pile up. All the goods will have been distributed. Meanwhile, the world's container ship capacity will have increased by some large factor (30%, 50%) to address the shortage.

Fast forward 1-2 years and we have a world that's a mirror image of today's: surplus everything. Too much oil. Too much container ship capacity. Too many semiconductors. Too many employees.

It's not like COVID increased overall world demand relative to 2019. Rather, it created a log jam getting everything back to normal.

The current action in Washington DC around the budget sets the stage for rollback of the massive government transfers and deficit spending of the last 18 months. Eventually, those evictions will happen. Eventually.

It's worth noting that at these speeds a "long" period need only be ~1 hour to reach a target from launch. A flight from Hawaii to Taipei would be 1.3 hours at Mach 5, and 54 minutes at Mach 7.

You could probably build a lot on their infra and maybe small b2b startups could get by on their offering, but you can easily outgrow their current offering. Azure/GCP/AWS have significantly more tools that solve expensive problems (like ML hosting, events, SQL database, search, etc.).

I hope your model wins in the end but let’s face it - the internet makes available a global market for nearly no marginal cost per user. Networks effects and all that on top of that premise.

There are some fairly realistic animated porn scenes. I think these are done by semi-professional artists (and probably involving a great deal of effort). But they tend to be... rather fantastical. So there's no mistaking that it is unreal.

Right now we can generate static images which will fool most people. And the wizards behind such magic could conceivably model physical bodies. In fact, this is done in movies quite often now, but not sexually (as far as I'm aware).
Three cheers for dead road pirates.

> And according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, state governments issue more than 450,000 new commercial driver's licenses every year. A large fraction of those drivers enter the long-haul trucking industry.

> "It's just simple math," Spencer says. "If every year there are an excess of over 400,000 brand-new drivers created, how could there possibly be a shortage?"

> In a 2019 study published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, economists Stephen V. Burks and Kristen Monaco investigated claims by industry leaders that the trucking labor market was somehow "broken" enough to create a decades-long shortage. Standard economics says if you don't have enough workers, you raise wages and within a reasonable amount of time, presto, no more shortage. Is trucking somehow different? A thorough investigation led them to conclude that the trucking labor market is not different. It is not broken. Yes, they say, the trucking labor market is "tight" — meaning that companies are competing to fill open jobs — but it functions in the same way as any other labor market.
Virtual memory is not exactly free. To work fast, modern CPUs require quite a lot of data to be available in the on-chip caches. TLB cache is one of these pieces of data. When you reserve many GB of address space for stacks of many threads, the code running on these threads is less likely to hit that TLB cache.

I've heard that huge pages might help, unfortunately they're somewhat harder to use.
Yah, just looking at the signal edges should tell you a couple of those maps are "fictional". The tmobile map at least looks like a signal propagation map in areas that are flat, where they have a tower the map is roughly a circle, and in cities/mountain areas there are dark spots where there is a hole despite being entirely surrounded by signal.

The other two maps look like BS to me, considering a couple years ago I was carrying two phones from differing carriers and driving around in unpopulated areas in the midwest and there were plenty of holes despite the advertised maps at the time showing perfect coverage in the areas in question.

The surprising thing is that the fcc is buying some of that crap and republishing it rather than asking for raw tower data (location/freq/antenna directions/power/etc) and doing the modeling themselves. Even if the modeling is pretty poor the results are likely better than the best case crap they are getting from att.

Clean renewables were only really viable in the last 10, maybe 20, years. We could have been building nuclear plants for the last 50.
HN’s lack of inline links is one of its worst features, and comments with large numbers of links are unbearable. Fortunately, longform HN comments are rare. Gemini also sounds more limited than even HN comments, because here you can put a URL like http://example.com inline and it works fine, you just can’t replace the URL with a custom label. In Gemini, it’s more literal than that - a link must be on its own line, not in the middle of a paragraph.
Coverage maps like these are no longer useful. I have "4 Bars" with extremely slow data rates constantly. My average speeds are about 1/10th what they were 7ish years ago (1.5 Mbps down vs 15 when networks were less loaded, "LTE" networks) as device density and usage has gone up.

We need data throughput maps, maybe even by time of day.

Having "coverage" doesn't mean you can actually do anything with it.

If you can twist the wording into a fraud, I can twist my words too.

I don't 'change' user agent. There is no mandated default value. I 'set' it to a value that the service accepts. I don't set it to avoid blocking, I set it to be served a response.

You seem to imply that some act of 'changing' a value results in a fraud. Nonsense. There is nothing like an open standard of authentication or identity without the service authenticating explicitly = there is no fraud.

The only grey territory is if the requester denies service to others. There is a higher chance of that happening using a script or a bot, but it can equally happen if one hires a grandma to keep clicking all day. Or 1000 grandmas at a time.

This horrified me. Medicine is the only place biological sex really maters. It’s our current understanding of the biological mechanisms of human sexual characteristics that enables the very treatments transgender individuals have today!

I’m supportive of all the inclusive language stuff, we actually need more of this assertive “that is not appropriate” attitude out in the world beyond university campuses to push back against socially accepted sexism and racism. However the phrase “biological sex” must be defended, the fact we have two primary (I’m aware there are more) chromosomal types XX and XY and these drive huge swaths of human biology both sexual and otherwise is critically important. Medicine is rooted in our fundamental biology, including countless aspects affected by our genetics and basic sexual development, and denial of any of these things brings only ignorance and lower quality healthcare.

I’m still struggling to understand how this has gotten as far as the stories that article is telling. I just I don’t know how to express how furious and saddened the notion of people acting this way makes me.

I'm the first to point out the absurd levels of gross bureaucracy in any large institution, but my first instinct is to question whether "Diversity Officer" is a distinct job title or just an additional committee that something like a professor can be a member of, since it sounds more like the latter, despite the quote implying the former.
Sure. I was a little less clear in this thread than I was in the other. I'm more making a case for a more sane policy on what apps people can run, or even devices they can have, to make it so this is not a problem that's normally possible. Whether the info is shared with China or the U.K. isn't really a distinction worth making if it never should have been shared with either, period (and let's not act like the U.K. wouldn't want to know just as much, we do with out own allies as shown through some of our exposed wiretapping programs).
Some people are advocating burkhas in Bay Area. They even added an Emoji in the iPhone. That's how much they value inclusivity that they'd feature a symbol of oppression by choice.

At this rate, we have a massive group of people that will forgive serial murderers for rehabilitation, but won't let go of someone who forgot to put pronouns in their email signature. They'll destroy their career and life if they can.

I've always been a contrarian. Any time anyone is intolerant of difference of opinion, I am compelled even more to not conform. The recent progressive agenda just doesn't make any rational sense to me. It is everything against fairness, equality and rationality. I've voted for democrats my whole life, but it will change this year.
Yeah I’m a computer scientist… My point is hearing “scientists” by it self is silly in most contexts right?
They're not free. They're certainly not "free" as in they respect my freedoms, nor the freedoms of any child or parent that has to dirty themselves with it.

As schools attach themselves to these incredibly abusive products, I sincerely hope the publics' opinion of schools drops with exponential relation.

When I was a broke college student I lived in an apartment next to a vacant building. Once the vacant was bought all the mice that had been living there decided to come to our apartment. We tried some mice traps but didn't have much success and couldn't really afford to buy different types.

After some research I discovered the toilet paper roll to to trash method. You setup stairs using boxes to a toilet paper roll with peanut butter on the end. The mouse goes to the end to get the peanut butter, the roll tips over before the mouse can back out and falls into the trash can

What they don't say and was surprised by was that mice can jump nearly two feet into the air and was scared when one escaped.

To solve the problem you fill the trash with enough water so the mouse can't jump not climb over the lip of the trash can.

Most of the mice were trapped when I was at class but once when I was doing homework I found out mice can swim for about thirty minutes at full speed before they give up.

I think objectively it’s bad for everyone when free inquiry is hobbled by dogma.

I think people should have the right to be wrong in academia. I can think of no safer place to be wrong - there are real consequences when you are wrong in practice (e.g. as a politician) compared to being wrong in theory (e.g. as a professor not really in charge of anything)
I would add that if manufacturing moves back to the US in any meaningful way, prices across the board will go up and consumption will go down. A lot of those thin margins will get crushed anyway, especially because - as you pointed out, much of the demand is elastic.
