I wonder if a "minidisc"-like format if feasible, where you would insert a protected platter inside of a harddisk?

I'd be willing to use that over huge HDDs. Give me 1TB platters at 5-15€/platter (consumer HDDs come close to €18/TB for large capacity). Actually, I wouldn't mind having them more expensive than HDDs per TB, as I wouldn't have to pay €250 at a time for bulk capacity upfront.
BBC news is the closest to “just the facts, ma’am” to the extent that the app shows me (untouched, unbumped) months old news stories for categories that have had no recent updates. Their articles have a “news only with a narrative” main section and then any opinion is separated by an hr with the name of the person and their take on the news.
If Inflation Comes [pdf]
No mention of Google MediaPipe (https://mediapipe.dev/), which is a mobile/edge framework for deploying TFLite models. MediaPipe has the advantage of letting you stitch together multiple models, transformations, and heuristics into a higher level computational graph. I'm not aware of any equivalent for PyTorch, although PyTorch Live seems like baby steps in that direction.

>Of course a leader provides tens or hundreds of times the value of a follower, what an absurd question.

Why is this of course? If it weren't for the followers the leader would have nothing except hot air.

The real value is in the followers, it's just distributed over larger numbers. Maybe I'm missing something, but someone actually has to do the work and it's not normally the "leaders"...

There are a lot of small businesses getting a really hard education in this right now.
Wow, it has been a while since I play with Hypercard. I remember doing this in my 7th grade science class back in the 90s. I and my classmates have to create something out of Hypercard for the project.
Sorry, I was responding to advocating against e.g. SpaceX and Blue Origin. Strongly believe we need a carbon tax, which would reduce air travel organically.
Calling it blame implies that inflation is bad. Inflation is not intrinsically bad. It's bad to the extent it creates friction in the economy. Currently, the US economy is growing very well.

One might anticipate that inflation will eventually drag down economic growth, but that's far from certain. Japan proved that low inflation doesn't cause high growth, and many recent periods in the US had both low inflation and low growth.

In contrast, the inflation today appears to be caused by supply trouble. Alleviating supply pressure is great motivation for innovation and efficiency improvements. Much better economic activity than simply cutting costs and trying to capture market share in a low growth market.
In TF you don't have to manually calculate the number of parameters of a fully connected layer. That's kind of nice. I don't really understand why PyTorch requires me to do that. Surely this can be infered from the previous layer.
Oh whatEVER.
A strategy doesn't have to be planned to be executed.

A random mutation that causes the virus to be more mild would cause people to rationally take fewer precautions against it. Then it gets to spread more, which is evolutionarily advantageous to the virus, but it doesn't kill as many people, which is advantageous to humans.

Note that there are a ton of viruses people get infected by on a regular basis that don't even have symptoms. Those viruses "spread like the plague" but because they're not the plague, nobody cares.
Yes, and as I'm a notorious crypto skeptic, someone squat on that ENS domain (with good intentions) and I really don't care that much.

Casually, rather than e.g. legally or as a matter of trademark, I "own" patio11 across all the namespaces because I've put in the work over the years to make people associate that with me. This doesn't necessarily work in reverse; you should probably not assume patio11 DMing you in a Chinese MMORPG is actually me and will actually wire you money if you give them all your dragon eggs.

If I need to auth myself to a savvy technologist in a channel not known to be controlled by me, I don't say "Trust the display name" or "Trust that I also know my username on Twitter." I publish something somewhere where the technologist would know "Hmm compromise of that account would be a much larger problem for him than this transaction." (Bonus: invariably relies on public key cryptography; no blockchain required.)
I'd imagine they just cannot fabricate the mirrors as many as they want. The mirrors, arguably the most important parts of any telescope or optical instrument, need delicate manufacture due to the required precision. At the end of the day, this is not automobile industry.

at any moment that there is any worth in something like NFTs. Things and technologies can generate money (or be useful for somebody) even if they are bull**.
The dutch don't seem to be very into cargo bikes. They certainly do exist (bakfiets are pretty famous, and the reference), but the vast, vast majority of the parc seems to be more of the granny bike variety, possibly with panniers and child seats, rather than dedicated cargo.

E.g. in BicycleDutch's station area video, while it was not 4 uninterrupted minutes of bike traffic around utrecht's station I only noticed 3 cargo bikes.
not an expert here but this is not entirely accurate -- a USA Federal system of single currency was initiated around that time, but there were multiple other currencies then. Is it accurate to say that every currency in use on the continental North America was gold-backed in the year 1899? doesn't seem right.. info welcome
If you're actually hyperscale, say 100 EB of tape, then you'll have dedicated teams just for tape archives. The heterogeneity doesn't seem like much of a problem when you have 200 engineers x 300k USD per engineer to spend on managing the system.

If anything, we're seeing hyperscalers becoming more heterogeneous with CPUs. Google has training and inference TPUs, custom silicon for encoding media, and many more custom CPUs. It makes sense for storage if the benefit is there.
Yeah, it's pretty funny how reluctantly some people use TF because they have too, lol.

The fact that PyTorch is pythonic and easier to debug makes it better for a ton of users, but TensorFlow keeps the entire DL process in mind more, not just modeling.
It’s “just” Darwin’s theory, ie “survival of the fittest” at work. The virus isn’t conscious and isn’t choosing a strategy.

Why can't tape be self-contained like HDDs?

Aside from the fact that most people using tape for archival storage don't want to pay extra for the read/write heads, SATA interface, etc., there is no reason why you couldn't package all these things into a self-contained tape unit with a small flash disk acting as a small cache and directory listing.

You could definitely package such a thing for consumers, for example, but most workloads there aren't a great fit for the medium. Basically the only thing that makes sense is using it for archival and backups.
This article says that Google and DeepMind research use TF - but they don't. DeepMind use JAX almost exclusively, and many brain researchers use JAX too.

No, it's not "no true Scotsman," because when you look at commonly held progressive values, little of them line up with how San Fran actually is. Again: massive wealth inequality, the housing crisis, gentrification, concentration of capital in VCs who gamble by funding unethical and scantily regulated tech companies. None of that is progressive!

The only thing about it that's progressive is its social culture, in some ways, such as how it's a very LGBT-friendly city. That's all that comes to mind.
I'm curious about nocturnal cerebral edema and its potential relation to Alzheimer's and dementia. IIRC, some of the brain's cells may change size to accommodate what could be considered a "flushing" routine to remove detritus but tangles of tau and/or ABeta don't want to go. Perhaps exercise and/or spaceflight could dislodge them.

Part of my first impression of your product is the fact that you have something to hide. I want to trust the products I use.

Hi,

With all due respect, and not taking anything away from your painful experience, I don't think a "better example" needs to be found. Why? The incubator analogy works precisely because it is so relatable—even to those who do not have kids. We should not rob people of such powerful analogies.

People shouldn't feel like they have to carefully walk on eggshells to use such analogies, all in the fear of offending someone. I hope you don't parse me wrong.

'Why would getting infected with COVID have benefits?'

Why do you think you get a choice? Without extreme measures of staying locked up, most everyone will encounter the virus. Why not help your body deal with it by going for a walk today to get some exercise? Life is to live, not eat ourselves to overweight deaths.

That last paragraph…TI sells a part for set top boxes (TPS65235). It’s been sold out for months, but it’s possible to receive a notification email when they suddenly decide to run their own productions for the part (their website says 50 weeks). I always receive the notifications in the middle of the night, so by the time I order in the morning, all of the inventory is sold out. One time I happened to be awake during a notification and was unable to purchase just six minutes after receiving the notification.

Just for the sake of geeking out, here are some definitions from other dictionaries I could find:

Macmillan [1]: someone who believes that vaccinations are harmful to human health and so refuses to vaccinate their children against childhood diseases

Lexico (Oxford) [2]: A person who is opposed to vaccination.

Cambridge [3]: someone who does not agree with vaccinating people (= giving them injections to prevent disease) and spreads and encourages opinions against vaccines

Wikitionary [4]: A person who opposes vaccination, as for its purported dangerous effects.

Dictionary.com [5]: a person who distrusts or is against vaccination, especially a parent who refuses to have a young child vaccinated.

American Heritage [6] and Longman [7]: It seems that they do not have an entry. Collins also doesn't have an entry, but apparently there was a suggestion for adding it in 2015. [8]

> That’s not different from the situation with Windows.

Yes. And that is also part of the problem. They also don't patch reported vulnerabilities nor provide a clear path for the community to fix themselves.

> What is different is that Apple is less clear in support periods and often more aggressively leave older hardware behind.

Yes, that amplifies the problem a lot. Many of the abandoned machines are 10-year old but still very suited for daily use. They have 64-bit Core i processors with decent amounts of RAM (such as 8 GB).

Cases are absolutely relevant: they have been a lagging indicator for deaths the entire time. It will take another 2-3 weeks to see how the current spike in cases plays out in deaths. Hopefully Omicron actually is less lethal, but we'll see soon enough.

As for your experience, it is not predictive or representative given the ~800,000 US deaths. Especially because you live in an admittedly very cautious area.

> This is identity politics in America.

No. Identity politics is (for instance) being incredibly pedantic about the usage of a word because you take (glaringly obvious, btw) personal offense to its usage. We have all gathered you are some form of right-leaning conservative at this point. No one else would be as defensive as you have been about this topic. Whether you feel it was an insurrection or not, can we at least agree that it was an attack on democracy? These protestors may not have been armed, but they were threatening and intimidating as they chanted things like "hang mike Pence" and "where are you Nancy?".

The overall context of course was that many of these people believed themselves that they were there to prevent the electoral college votes from being counted by the joint assembly.

Ask HN: Text Editor Solo Project by Japanese Dev
Hi HN,

I remember a cool text editor project - it was a solo dev project with a free trial and a small subscription after that.

I can't remember the name of it though (ink something?) and the keywords I can remember make it impossible to search for. It had a really nice design.

I recall it being on HN a while back.

Not sure if that's enough to go on, but does anyone know what I'm talking about?
"You can build this trivially" is a fair criticism once you build your own products and realize how rampant IP theft is. Aside from that, the infamous dropbox comment you linked doesn't at all say "you can build this trivially".
Are there any advantages of a cargo bike, compared to a ordinary bycicle and a trailer?

Because I see none. My e-bike is a normal bike all the time and if I make a tour with the kids or shop a bit more, I just attach the trailer and seem to have the best of both worlds.
Don't worry. A patch is right around the corner, plus a planned patch every 6 months for every new keyword variant that is found that triggers the same behavior. (QA time might be sacrificed to meet deadlines, but it's probably fine)

So if we had:

* variant "D" that kills 1% of the 20% of the population that isn't seropositive

* variant "O" that kills 1% of the 20% of the population that isn't seropositive and 0.2% of the 80% of the population that is seropositive

The takeaway is "good news everyone, variant O is less severe!"

Ask HN: Local cloud hosting/ managed services provider in Sweden
I am looking for recommendations for a local cloud hosting provider in Sweden which has AWS AZ like data center setup, provides managed kubernetes clusters, has 99.95+ SLA.
Managed database and managed message queue solution would be very nice addition. 64vCPU/128GB RAM (or higher specs) VM or host would be needed too.

Common searches return Bahnhof, Binero, Glesys, City Cloud, ElastX, Basefarm, Cygate. Do you have any experience with solutions from any of these companies? Would you recommend any one of them? Are there any hidden gems in Swedish market?

We don't need all 100+ service what AWS provides. Managed kubernetes, managed MySQL/ MariaDB, managed Rabbit MQ/ Artemis would be good enough.
https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/391#issuecomme...
Arguing that there are simply too many people on Earth is never a popular comment on HN, but it's just simply the truth.

There is no path forward that allows for continued improvement in quality of life for the developing world and also prevents climate and environmental disaster.

The only paths forward are: 1. fewer people or 2. lower quality of life.

Thankfully people are having fewer babies, so it seems like #1 may actually win out. However, the change in birth rate isn't happening nearly fast enough to avert disaster.
This has been exactly my path. Can write data security guidelines and also read PCAP files fluently. However, you will not find very many of me.

Sysadmin/ops has too many offramps that drain talent before year 10. If you can integrate software/systems well, manage projects or do advanced troubleshooting; you will likely be pulled out of ops. Conversely there are an ocean of security certifications being issued to people who have very little operational/technical experience.

Data security in practice is being reduced to a policy and procedure checklist. It is frustrating for an engineering group to receive non-specific or contradictory policy guidelines written by non-technical people, but I have yet to see that change hiring or decision making. Businesses want someone who will agree to check the box. If that someone doesn't know all the details, that makes checking the box easier.

The future of cybersecurity is not skilled coordinator/PM but instead yet another non-technical management arm handing down mandates that are blind to technical reality. There isn't another option. There aren't enough people to fulfill demand, and the compensation for cybersecurity positions are often less than a senior infrastructure role. How many sysadmins really understand networking, programming, databases, etc; While also having the people skills to not alienate both management and highly technical development and operations teams? We will never have enough people at the intersection of that many skills.
