Tradeoffs are tradeoffs.

In your k8s example, by running a k8s cluster when you don't need one, a cost you pay is the overhead.

In the Cockroach serverless case, costs that come to mind include vendor lock-in when you evolve a pattern of production traffic that is hard to migrate to other solutions, and security and compliance challenges due to the virtualized instances running on shared clusters. In many cases these tradeoffs may be worthwhile. My point is that looking at it only in the dimension of scaling up and down, doesn't tell the whole story. The OP doesn't talk about tradeoffs, so in the comment section we must.
Of course.

Regarding internal solutions: it’s impossible to overlook the significantly misaligned incentives facing integrity teams. They try to solve problems inherently created by the profit model of the company and what also pays their salary. The parallels to the internal scientist teams at Phillip Morris are uncanny.

As I said, this paradox, and the company kicking the can down the road, has been obvious for years externally and also seemed internally per the Slack (or w/e) leaks post 1/6.

So, for these teams, if they’re staying longer than a quick in and out once realities trumped ones idealism at “going where the problem is” (look, I really do get that impulse), continuing to claim the moral high ground in the way this Institute is so tone deaf. Sorry buddy - I’m on levels.FYI as well, we all know what you got paid to (increasingly ineffectually) support this product. Like there’s been leaks for years of PMs discussing Myanmar genocide inflammation via FB/WA for a few years now. Was that not enough to leave?

This is inescapably how a lot of tech is going to judge this period/company. It went on for too long to claim ignorance otherwise.

Edit:
You know what, no it's not at all about an external vs. internal balance, that very much misses the point. It's likely that a meaningful change which preserves what FB (and related) intrinsically is will have to come from an internally-driven fix. The technical abstractions are just too much of a problem for outsiders to grok, then suggest a fix for, and etc. etc. ("Senator, we sell ads...").

It's about understanding where the moral and character capital that leadership, especially transformational leadership, comes from, and understanding how the founders of this have none of it. People that have stayed at FB and profited immensely from the experience, integrity team or not, stayed silent about it, and then start coming out with this publicly now vs. years ago (see: Alex Stamos' example), don't have that capital. And it's so distasteful to see them think that they do via efforts like this. That's the problem.

It's telling that they (a) Never state how long the free access for existing customers will last, and (b) force you to agree to terms which say they can change the price within 30 days at any time they would like.

It is quite disappointing that they are trying to extract value via subscriptions for what is the functionality of a piece of hardware that they advertised.
Hey, I have an answer to this!

and its part of a successful assumption I've been able to make for new ventures.

Basically, you do explore and visit plenty of sites, but you click through to them from timelines and what your friends shared in groupchats.

My successful assumption has been this: the URL does not matter. or more specifically, the TLD does not matter. .coms do not matter. By proxy, SEO usually does not matter either.

Your client base is going to click through to your domain name from seeing it shared somewhere else.

Or, lets get even more specific or perhaps grim: if your business model relies on people randomly finding your service from a search engine, or typing in the direct url, you have failed. if "failure" is too strong, then pointing out how much time and effort is being wasted from the strategy and how much alpha is being missed from better more relevant business models is more accurate.

so back to you, you explore from the timelines and chat rooms. if thats not good enough you need more exciting communities to be a part of.

Our product roadmap will be heavily influenced by customer asks. So if there are things about CockroachDB Serverless that prevent you from using it (like requiring ingress through a public IP), we definitely want to hear about it.

Regarding a cluster limit, we currently allow up to 5 clusters per customer account. I'd like to hear what kind of use-cases you have in mind for having a lot more clusters. One I've thought about is CI runs, where you'd want dozens or hundreds of temporary clusters running at once, in order to run your testing in parallel.
There are other options.

For example, a full e2e encryption system where only the user owns the keys and nothing is scanned.

This is already possible today with any general purpose computer.

I wholeheartedly agree. But, to be frank, I really don't see any amount of contrition in the Founders' Letter here, https://integrityinstitute.org/founders-letter. Primarily, I don't see anything here that says "You know what, we're sorry, because we were part of the problem, despite working on 'the inside' trying to improve things." I'm not asking for the founders to fall on a proverbial sword, but I don't see any acknowledgement of how the entire Facebook "machine", which causes all the problems they point out in their letter, is only possible because legions of really smart people choose to work there.

You'll get better prices if you look off amazon at one of the used book metasearch engines, like used.addall.com. You're also far more likely to end up ordering from a small, local store. To save on postage, you might order from one near you (or even pick up the book.)

Well that last one will only happen in France, after this. In the US you go to Amazon for the free postage. And since so many people go to Amazon for the free postage, they can somehow charge a higher price without postage than indie booksellers including postage. It's a brand premium, not a convenience or cost premium. Too many people have the habit of checking Amazon first.

> “Intrinsically linked” doesn’t mean anything, if you want to make an argument then make it.

Yes it does, it's refuting your idea that IPC can be considered without looking at cycle time.

And you're trying to make an argument that does not address the question I asked. As I told you in my first reply.

> Ah, so you are conflating “the amount of transistors spent on x86 decoding” with “the architectural impact that x86 has on performance”.

No. Read the conversation from the start, and read the links with comments from people who have actually worked on Apple, AMD, and Intel cores.
> As German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer emphasized in the past century, traditions are inescapable and unavoidable. It is a question not of whether you are going to work in a tradition, but which one. Even the choice of no tradition leaves people ignorantly beholden within a language they didn’t create and frameworks they don’t understand.

The above is absolutely true and I can't think of the last time I saw it mentioned. Another comment mentions Bloom and Iirc he calls it "the anxiety of influence."

We wanted to do the same thing, but still keep it in the DB as triggers. For every change we store both the DB user making the change and the application user. In postgres (and mysql) you can set variables in your transaction and then reference them from your trigger. This way we can capture when things change via the application and on the rare occasion where we need to make manual updates.
> Integrity folks across the industry work on solving these problems, not creating them.

Solving these problems is pretty trivially simple. Get rid of the news feed, or perhaps make it just friends, reverse chronological order. All of these "integrity teams" only exist because Facebook isn't content just making boatloads of money, it needs to make 10x boatloads of money by getting people to scroll infinitely.

People try to pretend this is some hard, difficult problem, when it's only a problem because Facebook is just as addicted to their users' mindless scrolling as their users are.
Big Design Up Front (the more common way of ordering the words) is related to, but is not, Waterfall. Waterfall is best considered an instance of BDUF (to borrow a programming term). V-Model and (often) Iterative & Incremental (slow-motion Scrum) each have varying degrees of BDUF as well, and there are plenty of other SDLCs out there that can be categorized as BDUF-lifecycles.

Waterfall's principle failing for large scale projects is that it does not incorporate sufficient (if any) feedback or delays the feedback until too late in the cycle, and plans too far out to be reasonable (do you kwon with any real confidence what you'll have for dinner in 3 years, 2 months and a day?) V-model generally also plans out very far, but incorporates V&V as an ongoing activity (it's name is a bit of a pun, both incorporating V&V and usually being charted out as a V, vice a waterfall for Waterfall). I&I may have a big design phase, but it's usually not as fully designed as either Waterfall or the V-model because the iterations are meant to provide checkpoints for validating the design and potentially changing direction (like I wrote, slow-motion Scrum).

While I'm sure your religious politics are fascinating they are completely irrelevant to US policy as it relates to the USS Liberty incident. The US has nothing to gain by involving ourselves in that quagmire.

As a politically exercise I am completely uninterested in such issues. US foreign policy should be blind to them.

If Jews want to advocate for the existence of Israel that is fine by me, but they must not do it under an American flag. It is not patriotic to support another country over ones one.

> Congress already appropriates itself the powers and privileges of judge, jury and executioner in the case of presidential impeachment.

This seems badly mistaken to me on two counts:

- Congress doesn't appropriate itself the powers. The Constitution assigns those powers to Congress.

- The powers and privileges of Congress, in the case of Presidential Impeachment aren't so much "judge, jury, and executioner" as much as they are "HR representative making a firing decision". Presidential Impeachment removes the President from Office, but it does not "execute" them, "put them in jail", or even attach any civil or criminal penalties to them. Less "executioner" and more "firing manager".
I'm talking straight up pragmatic realpolitik. Fundamentalism is attractive to people in poverty, because it lends a purposeful narrative to their suffering. Fundamentalism then breeds more poverty. If we don't want that cycle to take down the country with ever more regressive fundamentalism, then we need to break it. If that involves pinching our nose and tiptoeing around the hypocrisy, then so be it.

From my libertarian perspective I'd rather not use a loaded term like "subsidy" due to the larger context where the government printed massive amounts of money over the past several decades, benefitting the centralizing/urban metagamers at the expense of the distributed/rural economy. Loaded terms make it too easy to condemn specific aspects while ignoring others that are quite similar.
All of this true, but none of it is relevant.

All of the cars I listed are real street legal cars (no NEVs), available for purchase today (no concepts), that are plugin electrics (no hybrids) with a range in excess of 100 miles, with a price less than $40,000. These are viable inexpensive cars. That was the criteria. Arguing that these don't count because they're not comparable to one that costs 50% more, isn't fair.

The state with longest average commute distance is New Hampshire at 46 miles.[0] Even if that’s one way, that’s only 100 miles a day. Assuming you can only charge overnight, you’ll never use that extra range. You'll never even go below 50% if you can charge at work.

The software you’re citing for Tesla is gimmicks and cruel jokes. Why does someone need a game that only works when your car is parked and the screen faces the driver? When would someone use this? And even if you find the situation where you want to play a game in parked car, why would chose this rather than any of the games on your phone?

Tesla navigation last time I checked was Google Maps, but not Google turn-by-turn. That's odd. When I test drove a Model S, the salesman pitched some unknown streaming service as “like Pandora”. I’m sorry, but what? The car doesn’t even come with Android or Apple CarPlay.

I’ve used CarPlay, it’s heads and shoulders above any OEM infotainment system I’ve ever used. It’s so good, it’s a requirement for my next car. Assuming AndroidPlay (or whatever it's called) is just as good, why would anyone want anything else?

[0] Yes this is four years ago, and commutes have lengthened, but most articles I found expressed commute is minutes, not miles. Congestion and distance increase commute times. https://www.answerfinancial.com/insurance-center/which-state...

I'd suggest this code to follow: https://github.com/lucidrains/stylegan2-pytorch/blob/fc22408.... The standard practice is to interpolate between the source latents and target latents and feed the interpolated values into your GAN. There are various ways of doing interpolation (i.e. not always straight linear interpolation)

I can't grant you humility from the Agile community, or even necessarily from myself, but I can clarify what problems it works well for and doesn't, dangers, etc.

Agile works well when organizational leaders are willing to invest in changing the constraints of their organization, and team members are similarly willing to work to customize the philosophy—'cause that's all it is, a way of thinking about software development—to their specific situation.

Given those two things, I've yet to find a type of software development where Agile didn't work. People have used its ideas for web development, embedded systems development, back-end, front-end, Java, C++, JavaScript, etc. etc.

But those two things can be really really hard, which is why I think cargo-cult Agile is so common. And trying to be Agile without them is dangerous, in that it can easily be worse than whatever it replaced.

I talk about them more in chapters 4 and 5 of the book. You can find an excerpt of chapter 4, including a list of the investments needed, here: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/books/aoad2/invest_in_agility

No, you're missing my point - the best way to find new sites is to check the link aggregators where people post those sites from. The best way to find new content is on the sites where that content gets posted.

I mean, the fact that you only check a few sites and HN doesn't say anything about the rest of the internet. How would you even know if the rest of the internet is interesting or not if you never bother clicking a link out?

>"Malamud says that he did have to get copies of the 107 million articles referenced in the index in order to create it; he declined to say how,"

It's clearly Sci-Hub, as this 2019 article all-but-confirms:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02142-1

>"And around the same time that he heard about the Rameshwari judgment, he had come into possession (he won’t say how) of eight hard drives containing millions of journal articles from Sci-Hub [...] Malamud began to wonder whether he could legally use the Sci-Hub drives to benefit Indian students [...] Asked directly whether some of the text-mining depot’s articles come from Sci-Hub, he said he wouldn’t comment"

For what it's worth, obscure books will come from small sellers that won't rely on Amazon's warehouses.

In these cases, Amazon acts as a real marketplace where a seller just gets a storefront to access their customers: shipping will often be done manually, the customer paying the real cost etc.

As an Amazon user, I really like that arrangement, where Amazon does what it is best at (cart handling), and small independent players get to reach a wide audience.

BTW this law has almost nothing to do with that, it will mainly affect best sellers from big publishers that set regulated prices (legal max discount is 5%, under conditions). Up until now online shop were flying under the radar as it seems, but regulator are catching up.
I had a tangential WTF experience with Hydro One about a decade ago, but I’m not sure of this is typical for rural power operators.

I worked on an island on Lake of the Woods that was wired with power, phone and DSL. The next day, Hydro One was flying a branded helicopter up and down the chain of islands that were wired together to figure out where the lines were down.

The helicopter was absolutely bizarre to me and seemed like overkill, given that I only grew up in urban settings before. I though they might run a boat and walk the ROW. The helicopter seemed like an expensive toy they got to play with every so often.

So, essentially the Rupert Murdochs are reacting fairly predictably to the realization that they've already been replaced by Mark Zuckerbergs.

The Rupert Murdochs still have some of their (paid) sympathizers in government, which is the only reason the Rupert Murdochs have any appearance of potential future viability.

I, probably like most HNers, like neither the Rupert Murdochs nor the Mark Zuckerbergs, but I don't know what to do in opposition to them, other than avoid their services - which I already do.

Lobby government for greater personal privacy protections? Hahahahaha, ALL Western Governments are going in the opposite direction because Facebook opened that door to show the world that 'the people' don't care about privacy. The Rupert Murdochs are also coming (a decade late) to the private data party, and Governments already have cozy relationships with them, so they'd be shooting themselves in the foot to put up any resistance to "gathering all the datas", making any opposition to Facebook's internal decisions laughably hypocritical - but only to those who already know or care (a vast VAST minority).
