The stigma isn't from the words.

Some of the contributors research child or adolescent psychology. Maybe all. And including adults would lose public support from people who think adults can look out for themselves. No one thinks children can and adults can't.
>Perhaps leadership should start to address the problems that their citizens cannot have children and do something financially to assist families in need.

The problem primarily isn't one of money or financial need. The relationship is much more complicated. Money might make some small bump, but it doesn't really compare to the bigger factors.
Failing over to another AWS region is actually pretty difficult for stateful services. Especially if you can't even access data in the primary region at all. Most teams probably don't have the bandwidth to solve this problem given the amount of outages you see in a year (1 or 2). Also, this would be a problem many teams would be solving, so most teams probably just wait and see what leaders have to say about it and well, nothing ends up getting done.
That's the story of AWS as a whole.
How is this a net negative for any one other than the Orwell estate??
It is already a known issue in the bug tracker.
He created a lambda function that spawned more lambda functions and the rest is history
The story is told by Saunders Mac Lane, quoted in the book Mathematical Apocrypha Redux:

> J. von Neumann in 1927 introduced the axiomatic description of a Hilbert space, and used it in his work on quantum mechanics. There is a story of the time he came to Göttingen in 1929 to lecture on these ideas. The lecture started "A Hilbert space is a linear vector space over the complex numbers, complete in the convergence defined by an inner product (a product <a,b> of two vectors a, b) and separable". At the end of the lecture, David Hilbert (by custom sitting in the first row of the Mathematische Gesellschaft), who was then evidently thinking about his definition and not about the axiomatic description, is said to have asked, "Dr. von Neumann, ich möchte gern wissen, was ist dann eigentlich ein Hilbertscher Raum?" [Freely translated this is "Dr. von Neuman, I would very much like to know, what after all is a Hilbert space?"]

oh, right, that.

Our EC2 instances in us-east-1 didn't actually go down. But IT engineering was completely disrupted because our SSH login mechanism relies on the API to show you the list of instances for you to select which one to start an IAM handshake with. Our support phone line was also down. Even SQS kept chugging along just fine. I'm actually glad we're not on Lambda because of this.
> If there is such a stigma with "mental health", why do people not use a different term for it, e.g., "emotional health"?

That's called ‘euphemism treadmill’: newly invented euphemisms will soon be hijacked for pejorative use. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism#Euphemism_treadmill (and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysphemism#Context_and_drift)

IMO this is a part of a more general process that many words shift meanings or are re-appropriated to describe emotional or political judgement. E.g. ‘autistic’ became trendy as an invective about ten years ago; and ‘awesome’ doesn't cut it anymore for clickbait, so different words are in vogue now—until they too become overused to death.

Anyway, science and healthcare can't and shouldn't change its vocabulary every time fourteen-year-olds on Reddit decide they are done with one pejorative term and start stigmatizing another one.
> What if the actual reality is what you experience during a trip

Aldous Huxley touched on this idea of the brain acting as a valve or filter, wherein psychedelics loosen it and let through the stream of consciousness that you're alluding to.
The one I was involved with could never jump like that. My guess is that umbilical, at a minimum, carries power. Based on what I know, I cannot imagine the robot doing what is shown on these videos while loaded with the two battery packs that are part of the design.

Please keep in mind that this is a single data point. I am sure there have been many successful builds. It's a nice design. I was not intimately involved in the original build of the robot we dealt with. I was involved in a complete tear-down and reconfiguration to make it work. As I mentioned, this led to the design of a lightweight quadruped that is fully CNC machined and uses more powerful and capable customized drone motors.
> The agreement included a pledge from Apple to help Chinese manufacturers develop "the most advanced manufacturing technologies," "support the training of high-quality Chinese talents," use more components from Chinese suppliers, sign deals with Chinese software firms, collaborate with research in Chinese universities, and directly invest in Chinese tech companies, as well as assistance with around a dozen Chinese government causes.

China's approach to trade war is so much more subtle, effective, and deniable, than something as blunt and official as tariffs.
In a closed USD ecosystem the entity with more USD can increase the amount of USD they hold simply by holding more of it.

Replace USD with BTC and it no longer holds true.

My argument is that when it comes to the rich getting richer its the USD that promotes that mechanism and does not need BTC at all for it to happen.

Your claim that BTC is a scheme for the rich to get richer is only true because of the existence of USD, otherwise that wouldn't be possible. What I'm saying is its your fantasy that allows rich get richer to even be possible in BTC, not the other way around.
I’m waiting for someone to make this for the Linux desktop. I would think Steam may push into it with their SteamOS project.
That's actually pretty nice though; even though people are missing out on packages at least Amazon won't leave them out in the cold for today.
Not the first pretentious nonsense I've seen on that site. Someone there thinks they're some kind of UX messiah and has unfortunately been able to secure a milk crate and a bullhorn

It's ok, time will wash this away
Whenever us-east-1 goes down you just get a really good feel for how many other companies also have pretty fragile setups. They apps I work on can deal with a few hours of downtime, so as long as I'm sure I can recover from getting totally leveled its ok. And I think it's that was for the majority of companies. Most don't want the extra effort and cost of failover.

> It’s technically true but it means that you haven’t really grasped what makes programming hard.

It’s roughly as useful as pointing out that constructing a skyscraper is really just applying forces to masses.
That's so based.
The argument breaks down for me here:

> because the experience of wet is wholly subjective.

I can't distinguish this from "wetness is a quale." In which case the analogy water : wetness :: brain : qualia reduces to water : qualia :: brain : qualia.

Also:

> the experience of having experiences

The fact that we sometimes slip up and use recursive language like this is a suggestive sign to me. We intuit that experience is somehow "already present," or fundamental, as idealism claims. If idealism is true, then you _are_ consciousness, and already know it at some level.
No, the API just changed slightly: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-g...

Edited the phrasing to make that clearer.
Someone is going to have to be brave enough to login and see if their private repositories got cloned as well.

I have no private repo. It would suck if that too got cloned.
Bummer. Thanks for clarifying that.
Perhaps this is self-delusion on my part, but I've had no trouble integrating materialism/atheism with what you're describing — that kind of psychedelic panpsychism. They don't feel like competing claims.
When I read "give us power over the platform" when that sentiment was in no way expressed in the text, my impression is “It’s important to express that I’m a contrarian because I’m so very smart”
Yeah, I noticed that too, someone's getting scammed.
Hopefully very slowly, you do not want fast development. You’re developing a safety critical system and should prioritize stability over features.
It's quite a bit more than that.

Loss of ego and a sense of interconnectedness are some of the main effects from mushrooms and MDMA... Meditation does the same.

There's a lot of evidence, if you look around, that us WEIRD people (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) are rather estranged from the base state of humanity (which psychonauts and meditators explore).

There's a lot of evidence, if you care to accept it, that psychedelics can dramatically help us to better realign with ourselves, and even with fundamental reality.

In short, these strange experiences can actually reduce our own strangeness, while increasing our well-being, in quite specific and important ways.
Something I'm not getting there. OK, one zone went down in AWS. But there supposed to be multiple ones? And if somebody knows how to use AWS so that one zone going down wouldn't knock over the whole thing, it should be Amazon? I thought the whole point of this multi-zone cloud setup would be so that even if one zone goes down, it could survive and perform as usual - maybe a little slower for a bit while backups kick in and such, but after initial short period everything should be fine? Here we're talking about the whole system going down hard. Was the problem much wider than reported - i.e. affecting all (US) zones at least, or is it that Amazon doesn't know or doesn't care to use its own infrastructure to build a robust system?
Good read.

Interesting that basically a decade or more of branch prediction improvements is worth a few percent in naive benchmarks of good-ness.

Also pay attention in these tables to how badly AMD missed the mark with their predecessor to Zen.

I guess one question I'd have is why you think your brain is "operating properly". It's definitely perceiving and constructing a narrative out of those perceptions, but that happens differently for every brain and it really doesn't seem like there's a perfect version of it that's "correct".

If you're willing to accept that you can't really rank or judge modes of mental experience quantitatively on some kind of non-relative scale (which would require access to a "reality" outside yourself), then it shouldn't be too much of a leap to say messing with how it functions within tolerable bounds could be more of an optimization (or equal but just different) to your experience.
HN is a very pro-Amazon place. Regardless of what Amazon does, at least one of the top 3 comments is always justifying Amazon's actions.
I am confident it's worse than the original. Stop and go away
No, in fact Mozilla’s hostility to embeddability makes the world’s largest megacorp look positively selfless as a contributor to the FLOSS community: the WebKit devs actually give 2¢ about it and webkit2gtk, and it enables a whole range of cross platform (GNU/* and *BSD) browsers from GNOME Web to suckless surf to luakit.

Isaiah's Job – Mises Institute
My hypothesis is that bitcoin was invented by a contractor at the CIA/NSA/etc.

Tons of security/crypto nerds who are strongly discouraged from doing outside projects, and often too much spare time.

Also explains why the $55 billion in bitcoins is sitting there: their contracts forbid them from outside projects, and their employers are allowed to keep any proceeds from illicit projects.

I’m sure B. Allen would love $55bil in bitcoin.

I mean if you look at the skill set necessary to the create bitcoin, and who possesss that skill set, the US intelligence establishment seems like a good candidate.

It makes for an "awesome" gotcha moment but thats about it. All it would really do is trash your newspaper's reputation while making tesla look like the victim. Asking for comment is a courtesy that professional journalists give to subjects. It's not some sort of reciprocal agreement.
A detailed look at our star
cooling

I was wondering about that. The big innovation from Schaft was that they liquid-cooled their motors.
That allowed them to build a full size humanoid without going hydraulic.

What happened that made electric motors so much better since the 90’s? It’s not like we made groundbreaking discoveries about magnetism, right?

Neodymium-cobalt magnets and 3-phase drive in small packages. Also, a big market for high-power low-weight drone motors brought the price down.

http://moticont.com/direct-drive-linear-motors.htm

That's a nice little device. Those might make good finger actuators.

Linear motors have long been a tiny niche. I'd looked at Aura linear motors, which was the leading brand back in the 1990s, but Aura got themselves into serious legal trouble. They're back now, but mostly as an aerospace supplier. Power to weight ratio in small linear motors has seldom been good. It's not clear whether this is fundamental or just lack of engineering effort due to small demand.
Because 'coding' is just slang for 'programming'.
What I want to know is if they'll start sending what I type into Notepad as "telemetry".

We apparently don't teach advanced problem-solving like this in school anymore.
Thanks for the positive message. As I've grown older and matured, I've learned to be content and even amusedly appreciative of both the beauty and many flaws of the world. I've also developed a better relationship with myself through writing more and giving myself the time and space to think about and appreciate who I am and how far I've come.

Hope you have beautiful day and a beautiful life ahead.
Why is SpaceX any different than the other companies, and why will they be any different?
-2 Fahrenheit? Certainly not anytime recently[1]. Lowest recorded at Heathrow since 1948 was 8.2 °F.

I'm seeing claims that it got that low once back in 1795.

In North Dakota they get some days that cold practically every year[2].

It's unclear to me that the app being discussed started the car?

In sufficiently cold conditions, you need to warm the engine up before starting the car, with an electric heating element. If this was controlling one of those heating elements, the problem was presumably that the car wasn't able to start at all, not that the car couldn't be started remotely.

Yes. AAR process in the army was good at this up to the field grade level, but got hairy on G/J level staffs. I preferred being S-6 to G-6 for that reason.
I'm a bit out of the loop, but the vibe for years was "It isn't broke, so we're not going to rewrite it to run on something else."

Actually, it's a bit more than that. Some half-decade ago, Google Cloud got stung by a coordinated attack over the holidays where attackers used stolen credit cards to build a net of GCE instances and do an attack on Tor via endpoint control. Cited by SRE in the postmortem was the relative immaturity of the cloud monitoring, logging, and "break glass" tools that SREs were accustom to in Borg... Essentially, Cloud didn't have the maturity of framework that Borg did and they felt the extra layer of abstraction complicated understanding and stopping the abuse of the service.

This report had a chilling effect internally. Whereas management had previously been encouraging people to migrate to Cloud as quickly as possible, after this incident software engineering teams and the SREs that supported them were able to push back with "Can we trust it to be as maintainable as what we already have?" and put cloud on the defensive to prove that hypothesis.
Snap, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, [...] execs scrambling to lock or destroy their mental health research programs.

I'm obviously not the only person saying this, and I don't want to brush Facebook and Instagram issues under the rug, but I fear the series of articles that arose from this whistle-blowing has created all sorts of twisted incentives for every player whose digital product can be abused. What's the upside of making such research looking into negative effects if, when leaked, (1) only the negatives is headlined and presented, (2) the positives are ignored and (3) no acknowledgment of the research existing in the first place is made? I'm conflicted myself writing this, especially #3 as it may (I'm not informed enough to have a strong opinion) be akin to historic examples of tobacco and petroleum industries ignoring their R&D, but #1 and #2 seem pretty clear.

Why are these researchers not addressing the industry at large, if only as a bullet point/segment? It seems like scapegoating while these issues are widespread and no company/executive will position itself to be the next scapegoat in line to be ousted. Research on FB-Insta could be useful to expand to the rest of the industry, but why would they be inclined to respond to this piece where they are made out to be as the nefarious actor when it comes children's health?

Well, let's see: Everyone says the world is gonna end, and you can't do anything about it, but it's Your Fault. All the adults and institutions around you are either palpably insane or ludicrously corrupt and self serving. "Question Authority" became "Trust the Science or Else"

The TV preachers of 30 years ago at least knew when they were lying. The people we're holding up as "leaders" today can no longer see a difference between reality and their justifications for whichever notion they've decided will give them the most gain, today. They may know they're lying but they don't believe there is any Truth so what's the difference?
A good follow on after this would be looking at the source code for bocker. It's a clone of large parts of docker, but in about 100 lines of bash.

You'll see references to nsenter, cgcreate, cgdelete, cgexec, and so on. It's helpful to see how docker is mostly a veneer over things that are already in Linux. Not discounting docker, but a lot of the actual value is in things like Docker Hub and Docker Desktop versus the runtime itself.

One thing that bothered me a lot when I tried to use vscode (with the best vi bindings I could find) was that the vi bindings only actually worked within specific text areas

if I want to do something like filter things in the problems pane, I need to focus an entirely separate thing with no vi bindings so I'm forced to reach for the mouse to use that or even to just get back to a pane that supports vi bindings.

also ctrl+w closes tabs instead of being a prefix for focusing different panes
OTOH I'm extremely willing to believe that surpassing the average driver is possible.
Apparently based on another comment the app fails silently. Which is wonderful design.
Don't do that, it's obviously a phishing site
Yeah, but are they reliable? Cost effective? Easy to deploy?

In short, can they compete with traditional heating? Radiators, in floor heating, heat pumps, etc. I doubt it.
I work at pretty much all levels of the pie, but my passion is with what the user interacts with, which is why I tend to gravitate towards the front-end.

Being "good" has nothing to do with being a back-end programmer, imho. One could even argue that the front-end of today is far more complex than most back-ends!

Uhm, isn't it too simple for $5/month per user?
Yeah... go out and start it, for whatever value of "start" you need. I frequently walk out to our Volt and start it to let it warm up the cabin on shore power, though I can also do it through a window with the key fob. Or I'll even go start a motorcycle to let it run for five minutes before I head out in the winter.

I'm really not sure what I'm going to do with cars in the future. The Volt is the last wave of not-always-connected-software-OTA-big-data-analysis cars, and even it had Onstar, it just tries to talk to towers that no longer exist. But there's a difference between that sort of system and what newer cars have. I suppose you can always disable the cell modem and let them have occasional wifi access to update, but... ugh.
You've got it backwards. Reality does not change due to hallucination, only my perception of it.

I've tripped many times and none of what I saw was real, and everything I saw when I wasn't tripping was real. It's good as therapy, and reveals a lot about perception and thoughts, but nothing else.
One voice detector to rule them all
We have just updated our public voice detector, now it boasts features like:

- Epic metrics (best in class as far as we know);
- Much shorter and flexible chunk size (30, 60, 100 ms);
- Radically faster inference, i.e. model forward pass takes ~1ms for a 30 - 100ms chunk;
- Radical simplification - there is literally just one model for everything now;
