"persecution of billionaires whose success/failure could destabilize the government"

sounds like a very reasonable policy to me. After all, isn't the promise of triple down effects to share the prosperity to all one of the core ideas of why society as a whole accepts the existence of billionaires? At the very least, they shouldn't make things worse.
I'm trying to balance between idealism and pragmatism. Source access is pragmatic only in a situation where you feel confident to dive it. I admire projects like suckless, Alpine, or Netsurf, because they prove this kind of balance can be maintained. But I'm still posting this from Safari ;)

I don't think this is an example of Russel's teapot. In Russel's teapot, you are giving a solid explanation of what you are claiming, it just happens to be unfalsifiable.

In the example I was criticizing, the word "God" was used without any further explanation of its meaning (in a thread which hosts discussions on different definitions of the word "God" no less).

Of course, if you are a priori assuming that any definition of God is going to be unfalsifiable, you can draw the connection to Russel's teapot, but again, I don't think you can convincingly do this without knowing all the definitions.
To be even more unixy, this needs a file interface /dev/sls that you can pipe directly to.
Inside the cluster my containers are Linux only. I don't believe kata-containers supports Windows containers as I don't think rust-vmm, which is used by CloudHypervisor[0], or the kata internal execution agent support it.

If I wanted to run Windows in the cluster I'd probably have to look at KubeVirt[1]. KubeVirt is oriented towards getting traditional VM workloads (ones you'd run in QEMU, Hyper-V, etc) functioning in a Kubernetes environment. While kata-containers is oriented towards giving container runtime based workloads (images that run on docker, containerd, CRI-O) the protection of virtualization, with minimal friction.

Previously external to the cluster I had some Windows VMs hosted on QEMU/KVM + libvirt for experimentation with Linux and Active Directory integration, but they've since been deleted. The only remaining traditional VMs I have are 2 DNS servers and one OpenBSD server for serving up update images to my routers.

For network infra I have a number of VyOS[2] firewalls both at the edge and between VLANs, and Mikrotik devices for switching.

I think the difference is more that each app has to maintain its own connection (more connections, more drain). Seems like gotify could remedy that though.
Yes. And we should all stop writing code for any of those companies.

They will -always- do whatever the most profitable thing is, users be damned. They are machines that generate money.

The only internet services that ever have a chance of putting the best interests of users first are open source decentralized ones.
I'm confused.

A lot of people here coming from Windows and other Linux distros seem to appreciate how easy to use and out of the way is Pop OS.

And that's exactly how I'd describe my experience with Ubuntu proper.

Can someone who made the transition from Ubuntu to Pop OS tell us how big a difference there are between the two flavors?
Google employee here, xmanger is one of the main ML experiment tracking/orchestration tool we use internally, I'm pretty excited that it is now available for other to use!

In a nutshell, xmanager allows you to:

- define an experiment, which is a collection of one or more work units (think combination of hyperparamters)

- manage the different jobs/executable required to run this experiment (TPU workers, tensorboard job, etc.)

- collect and display measurements from work units (loss, other metrics)

- keep a reproducible artifact which allows you to re-run the same experiment at any point in the future

See e.g. https://github.com/deepmind/xmanager/blob/main/examples/ for a few concrete examples of a launcher scripts.

I wish they had included screenshots of the tool itself in the repo, I'll make that suggestion :).

Works well on external 4K monitors also. And yes, the icons do not increase in size, but they still look OK. Certainly better than fractionally scaled icons. There's no downside to trying this - it's literally a single slider that you can slide back if you don't like what it does.
In the USA this has become part of the dumb culture war, so who knows what strategies are deployed there. But in many other parts of the world we have accepted covid, but is trying to keep it it a level where the hospitals stay afloat, and can actually do other stuff than keep covid patients alive. This is definitely not "zero covid", and it is not "covid is just the flu".
Ask HN: Why do people perpetuate the bosses narrative?
The idea of people having a boss at work is so strange to me.
I worked on Google Earth for a while, some years ago. It doesn't really make sense to talk about it in the way the article (and presumably movie) does. There are lots of "algorithms" in Google Earth which are critical to its operation.

Probably the biggest unsung algorithmic hero of GE is the image processing and serving pipeline. The actual client tech itself was largely worked out by the time Keyhole was bought (hence the high age of this lawsuit), and the biggest upgrades to the client came mostly in the form of optimizations and support for new features like 3D buildings. What wasn't visible was the enormous amount of work in the infrastructure required to actually process and serve the whole globe's worth of imagery. At the time, Keyhole's processing and serving pipeline just didn't scale to the amount of imagery actually available for purchase. That's no knock on their engineering skills: imagery is expensive and given their business model there simply wasn't a need to process all the imagery that existed. But once Google bought them, they were given a blank cheque and told to quite simply acquire it all. The infrastructure of the time (MapReduce, BigTable etc) were a perfect fit for this problem and allowed a rapid drain of the imagery backlog that had by then accumulated. Over time more and more of the calculations done to the raw sensor data (like ortho-rectification) were pulled in house for cost reasons and to allow further scaling - the satellite imagery providers could easily become CPU bottlenecked themselves.

This sort of article/movie seems ultimately to have some sort of ideological driver, given that its opening thesis is "for every winner, there are lots of losers; the people who blazed the trail for the others to ruthlessly make billions from their efforts". I mean, that's not true is it? This blasé statement implies the tech industry is negative-sum but it isn't even zero sum, it's positive sum: the whole reason it's successful is that it's a massive creator of wealth. The assumption that the big winners in the tech industry got there simply by aggressively stealing everything is so far from reality it surely makes the article closer to propaganda than anything else.
I agree. But I do think there is some room to look in to the details. It is possible that these search features targeted at someone other than the general audience.

And for something like EBay, or Amazon, they'd be mad as hatters to send any search traffic on their website out to Google where competitors are buying ad space. They don't really have a choice, they have to try and implement their own search even if only a small number of people use it. That is likely free money as far as they view the world.
That's true, but does not contradict any of the above.

First, because much of our energy use is currently not electric.

Second, because we're concerned with the energy consumption that is currently _not_ accounted for by nuclear power, not the portion that already is.

If I understand it right "*/" results in a function that applies "*" between its arguments. "~" takes the function f(x) on its left and the argument y on its right and turns it into f(y, y).

So the right side of the tilde evaluates to a range 1..10. I think the tilde then turns its left and right into "*/"(1..10, 1..10), resulting in 1..10 * 1..10
FWIW I've run Qubes on a few random Intel laptops years ago and it just worked on all of them. (Including on an esoteric milspec laptop which oozed hacker-street-cred at the time).
I tried multiple distros in the first couple months--without notable effect on the battery life, which I should mention for this particular machine, has been subjected to much slander on internet forums--including Ubuntu, Mint, and then Manjaro, which I eventually settled on and it has been running on there to this day.

I have known a number of people that interviewed with FAANG companies simply to get salary negotiation leverage with no intention of ever working there on ethical grounds.

Wasting the time of several unethical companies while getting valuable interview experience is a win/win.
Yes, when I'm browsing documentation, e.g. for Python, I don't want to leave the context and type "X Python", where X is what I'm looking for. Also Google searches in that case might give all kinds of irrelevant results, like StackOverflow pages (sometimes useful, but not if I want to read just the documentation), ads, and such. Typing "site:docs.python.org" is also out of the question.

I just went through the entire list of brands on that page and realised I'd been boycotting Nestle as well this last year or so, only without my knowledge. (I'm peripherally aware that they're considered "evil", but haven't given too much conscious thought w.r.t my own actions, and so haven't taken a position on whether I'm "boycotting" Nestle producsts or not.)

I'm similar to you -- make most of my own meals and don't really consume snack food and drink. Even all of the "prepared ingredient" type stuff that I buy (dried pasta, sauces) tend to be non-Nestle brands, so I really have to wonder if it's a lack of imagination that prompts people to claim that it's hard to avoid Nestle.

Of course, I'm in the UK (London) and not the USA, so maybe it's different? But I have a hard time understanding why it would be.

Edited to add: I also have a recent infant, to whom I've (again, without even trying) avoided feeding any Nestle products.

>>if you receive P particles in a time period and don’t get ill, and repeat that immediately, is the probability of getting ill in that second period the same as in the first, higher, or lower?

This is the part I was trying to figure out how to compute. I think the binomial distribution stuff deals with that.. eg how to calculate an 'overall' probability from n trials with p probability each.

But I'll have to read up more on it

This is what governments and rulers have done since Mankind started building stuff.
You're fixating in the legal tecnicalities like a law or executive order, but it has always been like that.
Governments and rulers always set the style of public buildings.

The reason for that, is left as an exercise for the reader.

Well, CPython probably won't ever get there. But Python as a language maybe could.

The GraalPython implementation of Python 3 is built on the JVM, which is a fully thread safe high performance runtime, and Graal/Truffle provide support for speculation on many things. For pure Python it provides a 5-7x speedup already and the implementation is not really mature. Although at the moment they're working on compatibility, in future it might be possible to speculatively remove GIL locks because you have support for things like forcing JITd code to a safepoint and discarding it, if you want to change the basic semantics of the language.
We have GitHub issues (works fine for bugs, not so much for discussions), GitHub discussions (no one is there), added Discord by public demand (I hate it, but it’s working well. People help each other there) and plan to add Flarum as an open discussion board soon.
I will very quickly stop using a given website if it doesn't provide a good, on-site search. If I'm looking for information that I know exists on a particular website, I see no reason to involve a third-party search engine in the equation at all.

Granted, a lot of sites out there that provide a search function do not necessarily need one, and would instead benefit from an organized, hierarchial index. With these types of websites, using the search function only adds unnecessary friction.
I never understand the hate operator overloading gets. Why is it collectively decided that date.plus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS) is 100% fine and dandy, but date + ChronoUnit.day(1) would be like introducing longjmp.

They sometimes release multiple versions in the same day, based on feedback.

They recently modified the byte adder to accept and produce the carry bit and replaced the flip-flop with SR-latch.
I think this very much depends on what kind of service your site provides, but in many cases I think we can argue that the Google fallback is good UX. It means the user doesn't need to figure out and navigate a new/different search system for each service.

If the GP's right and people really do just drop out and use Google every time (even though the target site has a search function), then I think it's hard to argue that it's bad UX. Unless you want to argue that the specific sites' search functions are poorly made.
Modern architecture and urban planning, especially in the US, really has failed, and defending the ugly, unsustainable, car-dependent human-deserted urban hells it has produced in the name of progressivism is really, really strange.

Examples of architecture and urban planning that actually aligns much better with progressivism would be the Netherlands and other places in Europe that have banned cars and appreciate the value of quiet, walkable neighbourhoods that are at a human scale, conducive to public life and align with and satisfy the aesthetic tastes of the public.

Of course, architects and urban planners really, really hate that last part. They still suffer from megalomaniacal delusions like those of Le Corbusier. They want to make statements, and if that means torturing the public so be it. (they're totally progressives though!)

Meanwhile, most people just want to exist in spaces that aren't hostile to human life and joy.

Hi Guys, OP here.

> Why not Unity or UE5? Why Zig?

I'm building relatively small game, I don't really need full game engine.
I try to write simple code that does only what I really need.
I want to push Zig forward, I want to promote it.
I was working with UE5 and Unity at AMD - those engines are really huge, bloated and they are changing very fast. I want to keep control over my code. Again, I don't need 90% of their features.
I like low-level stuff and I want to master my skill.

> Why zig-gamedev project?

I want to help others learning Zig. I want to create demos, audio-visual experiments and even some art stuff. I'm interested in intersection of art and science.
I want to prototype and experiment with ideas that potentially will be used in game (tech, algorithms, etc.).

> Why Windows and DX12?

DX12 is really well supported by Microsoft. They have great tools. They have interop with Direct2D and DirectWrite. They have DirectML (built on top of DX12). Windows itself has builtin decoders for most video formats (I will need this and I don't want to include entire ffmpeg).

I'm most familiar with DX12. DX12 is a bit less verbose than Vulkan.

I don't have a bandwidth to care about other platforms. Focusing only on Windows lets me write simpler and often more optimized code.

Also, drivers are really mature and stable.

> Why to take risk?

I was working for big corporations for ~12 years now. Money is good but you don't really realize your ideas there. You don't own what you build. Now, I want to create my own stuff, my way, using my ideas. Money will come later.
I've used them both pretty extensively as well as Red Hat based distros. For me there's a few minor, but important enough to make me stay on pop, differences:

1. It uses systemd-boot as the boot loader. I like not having a grub menu, just turn on my computer and I'm basically on the login screen. It's seamless.

2. Flathub enabled out of the box. I find Flatpaks the best experience for lots of common apps like Slack, Teams, etc. It's a nice feature.

3. Nvidia support in the ISO/out of the box. Nice experience for Nvidia GPU users.

The rest of their stuff, like the windowing features etc, I don't really get much value out of. I like Gnome so I disable most of their stuff.
PR can be nice to read nonetheless. I don't think HN has a rule against PR.
How to Create an Ethereum Token with Python (ERC20)
High performance JIT compiling VMs don't use a GIL, they use a different trick called safe points.

The compiled code polls a global or per-thread variable as it runs (but in a very optimized way). When one thread tries to change something that might break another thread, the other threads are brought to a clean halt at specific points in the program where the full state of the abstract interpreter can be reconstructed from the stack and register state. Then the thread stacks are rewritten to force the thread back into the interpreter and the compiled code is deallocated.

The result is that if you need to change something that is in practice only changed very rarely, instead of constantly locking/unlocking a global lock (very, very slow) you replace it with a polling operation (can be very fast as the CPU will execute it speculatively).

However, this requires a lot of very sophisticated low level virtual machinery. The JVM has it. V8 has it. CLR has a limited form of it. Maybe PyPy does, I'm not sure? Most other runtimes do not. For the Python community, very likely the best way to upgrade performance would be to start treating CPython as stable/legacy, then support and encourage efforts like GraalPython. That way the community can re-use all the effort put into the JVM.
Ironically I use hackernews's search engine a lot

Also Google search is very "fluid". Sometimes, for example for searching documentation, you need something more advanced.
