I hope your link is not correct!

The Aug 2020 article is about real estate transactions at the close of escrow. Does that mean people are accidentally using Ethereum? Yikes!
Just curious from the sidelines, tacp, fo, or similar?
No one's really arguing that YC is technically a monopoly. That would be pretty ridiculous to assume since YC is not really a traditional business in of itself and is not selling a product to consumers (not that this is the only way for something to be classified as a monopoly). So of course the term monopoly shouldn't be applied literally.

The spirit of the post still remains true and I think we'd better off if we started a healthy conversation around it instead of forming straw man arguments.
Right exactly. I think from the perspective of devices (say your laptop) it looks pretty similar to the current system. You give it the IP address of a "DNS server", but now it's hitting an Ethereum node who is doing the DNS lookup. There is danger there that the node could lie about the state of the blockchain, so it does need to be trusted. The paranoid can always run their own node and be 100% sure.

I do think you could expose the same interface as traditional DNS but backed by the registrations in the blockchain. There are browsers that will resolve Ethereum Name Service domains today, but I'm not sure how that's implemented (probably lookups on a public ETH node).

The important improvements IMO are on the registration, transfer, renting of the names rather than the lookup side which doesn't look dramatically different except that other code running on the blockchain could do the lookups too.
Have you heard of AdonisJS[1]? A couple of years ago we had JS as a hard requirement for a new project, and coming from a Rails background, Adoins was really good.

If you know any Python at all, it's extremely easy to get into, and has a lot of "battery included" for standard problems you encounter in the CRUD-world.
I guess we’ll find out Soon(TM). Trustless computation is the plan. Maybe it’s possible to build a system that’s correct/antifragile enough, when you restrict yourself to some hundreds of lines of code tops?
That's not exactly my answer.

One of the things that I think remote work changes is that traditional power is diminished. If you are used to forcing people to have contentious discussions where you win your favored outcome, that may be the wrong framework.

After all, "design" in software is really just making a lot of small choices consistently. Arguing people into a decision is one way to get consistency, but far from the only one.
I have, several times, and you have ignored it, several times. Other readers caught on long ago. Only you continue embarrassing yourself.
I've been reading Command-Line Rust[1], and I think it's nice. Each chapter has a challenge where you build a common command-line tool, like echo, cat, head, wc, etc.

Just like you, I do prefer the "learn while you build" approach. My personal experience has been that the book is a nice addition to reference-style books, such as the one you mentioned.

> The sad thing is, all these pharmacies know about GoodRx and other discount providers. They could stop playing games and just run all scripts through these providers to get a 'cash price', but they don't.

They aren’t allowed to contractually. The PBMs and insurance companies make pharmacies sign contracts that forbid them from doing this. They also forbid pharmacies from telling customers if it would be cheaper to pay cash.

Most states have only a few major insurance companies and getting caught and losing the ability to serve a large portion of clients would put most pharmacies out of business.
Yes, this is key. This is the one genius bit that YC brought to the table and it changed everything. Suddenly you no longer have to decide which start-ups to fund, you just pick the top 'N' where N is however large your classes are. That's a much simpler problem than to solve for N individual investments given a steady drip of possibilities. Now you only have to make a relative call instead of a series of absolute ones: do I like this startup better than that startup?
It’s unsurprising that dog attacks outnumber wolf attacks after wolves have been exterminated. That doesn’t really tell us anything about the danger prevalent wolves would present.
Yes, everyone is unique and needs to find out what works for them. When my fiancee and I went to the beach this morning, she claimed she missed her swimming group class because she gets a better workout with them versus when she's by herself.

For me, I definitely get a better workout with a group that pushes me to the edge but I don't need a group to get a good workout
It's truly insightful as a 'down under' punchline
And is there a RISC-V core that is competitive with the leading Apple Arm cores?
You should read the submarine [0], a great article on why this happens that I found here on HN.

TL;DR: writing news is hard and journalists are overworked and underpaid. Media firms for companies basically write these articles for journalists, and since they aren't technically false everybody wins (except the reader) because the news agency gets a lot of "news" and the companies get exactly the spin they want.

Very refreshing to see content like this. Personally I'm VERY sick of the whole productivity hustle and the people who spout it.

They prey on insecurities, make you feel like unless you're employing some kind of productivity system, you're cheating yourself or your employer. In reality however the very systems they tout steal away more productivity to maintain the productivity system itself than any benefit for actual work derived from it. I've found this true everything from pomodoro to note taking to Anki flashcards etc etc.

Wow, what a find. And save. Very well deserved reward too.

Wondering (some of it aloud), how long was the vulnerability present in the code? Is it possible to know if someone was actually using this exploit to mint OETH's? How would a disconnect of this sort show up? Regular reconciliation (hourly, daily) or perhaps there are other methods.

I second FastAPI. It's the fastest way to get a modern webapp or api up and running in Python with full support for async and it works nicely with ORMs like SQLAlchemy.
Happy Valentine's Day hacker news! It went about as well as expected for the effort put into it, but it's a quick exercise in finetuning pretrained NLP models.
I wholeheartedly concur about The Little Schemer, though well into adulthood when first exposed to it. It works so well due to combining a Q&A format with a respectful "tone" that never talks down to the student-reader. The authors' subtle sense of humor contributes too.

To be sure this article isn't in the same league at all. Great teachers are scarce no doubt because few are gifted with the requisite raw talent. It implies you're right, it's hard to produce top-quality written teaching material, after all excellent examples are uncommon, even vanishingly rare.

You are completely misinformed about this. I spent quite a long time reading about this.

What you write is what they hoped would happen. However it did NOT happen. The reason is that the more you try to vaccinate the entire population, the more cases of cvdpv2 you cause. Until you hit that magic 100% you cause more harm than you prevent.

And in the real world 100% is impossible. So yes opv2 "causes more cases than it's stopping" - there are zero cases of wild type 2, so it's stopping nothing except itself.

And in fact that people running this campaign noticed this and stopped vaccinating with opv2! (Which perhaps you did not know.)

The new version of it will hopefully help, and we can eradicate this.

But right now Polio eradication is failing, not because of Taliban, but because of cvdpv2.

I have high hopes for the new version, but it'll be years before we know.
uBlock Origin makes this pretty easy actually. You just have to enable the "I am an advanced user" checkbox in it's settings and it turns into a more user friendly NoScript, with an easy way to save settings for specific sites that require third party scripts or frames to function.

As the creator himself says, uBlock Origin is not just an ad blocker, it's a wide spectrum blocker.
The prices for these drugs is ridiculous. My kids vere prescribed Ventolin this winter due smog related illnesses. Looking at price of a Ventolin inhaler (90mcg) even on Cuban's website (https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/albuterol-90mcg-inhale...) it costs $43

The same thing costs less than $2 in Pakistan for the Glaxo Smith Kline version.

> I don't care if it will mean millions of people in the insurance, hospital administration, public and private health policies will be out of jobs. Sorry I don't.

As someone who works in this industry, though for a non-profit medical practice group, we want it gone as much as the patients. It's an absolute nightmare to do anything. We have a staff of twenty people just to deal with the paperwork side of the business, and that doesn't include answering phone calls from patients. All of those people could be put to far more productive use doing anything else; half of them are people who wanted to get into medicine but not through a full-fledged medical degree and are now toiling away shuffling forms. We would love to move them to patient care assistants or anything else but we have to have them in order to get paid.

(I know for sure we would like to have them do other things and they would like to do this because our group has a role rotation program where people can rotate in and out of groups to try other things. The insurance/paperwork group has virtually no one want to rotate in and almost the entire group is on the list to rotate out for a month or two a year to do something different.)

> Also for doctors, medical schools, state medical license issuing bodies, you are gonna allow minimum 10x increase in new doctors entering your field.

I also completely agree with this. It's frustrating to deal with the regulatory issues, too. We had to move a practice office (that is, where patient care is provided) from a place we leased to an office we bought as part of a commercial condominium a few years ago. Getting that approved took months of back and forth because the rules of the licensing body didn't fully contemplate an "office condominium" like we purchased.
Well, I'll start this with one of mine: Getting out for a bicycle ride early on a warm morning, especially on a weekend. There is something special about being out in that golden light, in control of your immediate state. A fine way to start a day.
I love taking notes but I never write about the process I use. Writing notes helps adds clarity to my thoughts. Without it, they move a zillion miles per second and when i try to recall something later it just is a blur.
> In some respects K8s is a bit of a step backwards from Heroku or AppEngine. It's complicated and requires you master its learning curves to deliver benefits.

what, exactly, do you think kubernetes is? what is the central design philosohy of it? how does it work? can you name anything about kubernetes that makes it better or different than Heroku or AppEngine? nothing you've said gives me confidenc you can identify the most basic strengths or competencies here, that you can identify how kubernetes is different from the more prosaic & narrow platforms which came before it &nehat that meams. kis is a different take than just an app delivery platform, but i dont see that recognizance here.

to me, you are propoing we should all switch from planes to bicycles because bicycles are simpler & all folks need. this reductionism is a misservice to real debate over what & where we should go.

endless consumerization of computing, treating all computing workloads as services for petty end-users, who need dumb simple integrated ways to continue shipping legacy software platforms, bundled into fancier containers, is a dead end shithole future. by themselves, simplicity & composability buy us nothing but low-ended-ness. they reduce our ability to think & integrate & fins better cloud patterns to make software with.

thankfully i see little potential threat out there from this proposal that we make ourselves more naive. tbis beleif that we can just somehow snap our fingers & simplify & the complexity goes away doesnt seem to ne enough. what i do have faith in are better management tools & practices taht emerge atop & integrating with existing full-blooded clous platforma like kunernetes. folks like ArgoCD or Flux provide a pretty reasonable seveloper experience somewhere reasonably between Herokus bramch-based deployment model & the modern open source cloud platform.

last, but definitely not least: what specifically does your comment have to do with this link that was shared? i dont see any direct connection to the link. it seems like you just wanted to dump a generic opinion on us, to neg kubernetes broadly. how if at all have you engaged the material in thia video in your negging?

edit: very quickly to -2. im not playing kind but i think silicon deserved heavily to be challenged. if you disagree, i think words are appropriate.
Those companies, especially Amazon; Google; and Apple, are only evil MNCs on HN/Reddit and media (mainstream or otherwise). In the real world, these are America’s most trusted and beloved brands. Brand loyalty is high for all three and if they announce they’re going to make anything, the country as a whole is excited to see what comes of it. Irrespective of whether they listen to Fox or CNN, people know from their lived experience that their search engine is fantastic, their phones are fantastic, their shopping experience is fantastic.

To make it even better, the folks on the street who hear you work there think you are übersmart superstar solving the world’s problems.

There are probably tens of millions of people hoping they do something like what you’re asking for.

Of course, I don’t think it fits in their wheelhouse. We’ll see.
That's precisely my take away since I saw what ETH's instruction set looks like and what sort of languages these smart contracts are made of. It's a giant pile of flimsy garbage propped up by a frenetic gold rush.

To think that any of this would then be used to build a trustworthy ecosystem for non-developers to use, seems delusional to me. And building a VTOL taxi airline on top of it seems like it puts the cart 3 miles uphill from the horses.
There are MMOs like this but they come once or a twice every decade and fail miserably, full loot PVP MMO are built for a specific mindset of players and there comes a time where the “sheep” are all gone and only wolves remains. This situation creates a dwindling effect on the population and you end up playing with a few hundred players at best in a matter of a year.

In “recent” years I played Darkfall Online and Mortal Online which are very rooted in the early days of persistant virtual world ala UO but sadly they both failed to keep an healthy population.

Have you tried Mortal Online 2? the game just came out and is a true successor to UO in many ways, sadly they had massive problems scaling the game so they had to mirror the main persistent world and added 4 instances of the main world to cope with the demand. The vision is to have a one big persistent world with no instance/loading screen and keep adding more and more continents to spread out the population.

If you liked playing UO I recommend you check it out, its a unique gaming experience which may sadly go extinct in the future!
> Apple has had access to all Arm’s IP - eg for example on big.LITTLE. Isn’t it right that Apple (market cap around $3tn) actually pays for that IP if they want to use it on another ISA?

Yes, this is my point: there’s little reason to change if you’d just have to keep paying the same.

> Also maybe Apple has decided that Aarch64 is a better choice…

Remember that Apple has a full architecture license and their microarchitecture is their own. Their parts don’t really look like anybody else’s except having mostly the same instruction set. I really don’t think the ISA itself would be anything they would spend any time thinking about either way — other factors dominate.

In Spain there is like a 3% of cattle affected by canine (wolf+dog) attacks, and those loses are covered by the government. We talk about animals that are basically left alone in the nature without protection for weeks and months. In many cases we talk about foals or old and sick cattle and often in a reduced group of farmers that claim to lose 600 animals year after year, but don't even buy a dog, that is a little suspicious if we think about it.

So, maybe is not the bloodbath that many people assume
Just an FYI, NoScript is made largely redundant with uBlock Origin since if you enable the "I am an advanced user" checkbox in it's settings, it will allow you to selectively block or allow third party scripts and frames.
Very insightful piece, I think. The answer to the question in the title is that whenever we tried, people came by to shout us down and call us ugly names. Which of course she addresses, talking about how people would heckle her when she went out for runs.
> but stories like this make me think that crypto can never become mainstream.

We had illegal p2p sharing where you could download a virus from bad people and then Jobs came along and made iTunes which set the standard for streaming. I am sure someone will come along in the crypto space and make crypto easy for the rest of us.
Okay. In what "literal" sense of the word is Bitcoin secured by electricity? The need for electricity seems to be Bitcoin's greatest practical liability, since the entire network depends on it.
You seem to be arguing against yourself here though. Kubernetes is successful, and it doesn't precisely fit the mold of the 12 factor app. It fits an overlapping but distinct, google style, development model. They successfully achieved that shift.

I think you're arguing that that's a bad thing. But it's a thing that very much did happen, because kubernetes is successful.
Hey I'm really happy that you've provided an option for people to upgrade their OG arduboys with the new FX chip, but it seems I'm being charged $15 USD (same as the cost of the chip) to have it shipped to me, is there any chance to revisit the price to send the modchip to AU? :D
Rails. Use the default Rails 7 stack (Importmaps, Hotwire).

You also can't get away from knowing at least a couple programming 'languages', it's hard to get away from writing at least some HTML/CSS unless you go with all pre-built solutions, at which point you may as well use a website builder...
What's "totally programmatic"? Is that where programmers never make mistakes, protocols never have bugs, users always remember their secret keys, read and understand the code they're running, on the computer they wholly own and trust, with perfectly functioning hardware? And somehow resistant against the $5 wrench attack and state-level seizure?
Yeah. It seems the difference here is (supposedly) this sentiment:

I’ve always found it amusing that when I was in school/grad school, I was reading a lot of material that I didn’t usually find interesting, so it would have been valuable to know how to take good notes. I never even heard of a course in the subject of note-taking so I never learned any of these methods you hear about. Nowadays I only read or otherwise consume stuff that I find interesting for its own sake so my retention is vastly better, and I have no real need for such systems anyway.
It sounds like you're saying

CCIP demands access to servers -> companys silo to protect data from CCP

But then claim siloing has "zero to do with CCP's demands". Having trouble understanding this logic.
Just imagine accidentally reflecting every origin as a wildcard because you misconfigured your dynamic acal response headers to reflect whatever the current origin is.
> In particular, any hypothesis that tends towards magick, for example suggesting that a change in quantities (data, compute, training time) yields qualitative improvements (prediction transmogrifying into understanding, overfitting transforming into generalisation), should be discarded with extreme prejudice.

It does not tend towards magic. It does happen and people can replicate it. Melanie Mitchell recently brought back the point by Drew McDermott that AI people tend to use wishful mnemonic. Words like understanding or generalisation can easily be just a wishful mnemonic. I fully agree with that.

But the fact remains. A model that has ~100% training accuracy and ~0% validation accuracy on simple but non-trivial dataset is able to reach ~100% training and ~100% validation accuracy.

> This hints to the fact that the effect depends on the structure of the dataset and so it's unlikely to, well, generalise to data that cannot be strictly controlled.

Indeed, but it is still interesting. It may be that it manifests itself because there is a very simple rule underlying the dataset and the dataset is finite. But it also seems to work under some degree of noise and that's encouraging.

For example, the fact that it may help study connection of wide, flat local-minima and generalization is encouraging.

> You are impressed by the fact that one particular, counter-intuitive result was obtained

I'm impressed by double descent phenomenon as well. And this one shows up all over the place.

> There is a well-known paper by John Ioannidis on cognitive biases in medical research: Why most published research findings are false

I know about John Ioannidis. I was writing and thinking a lot about replication crisis in science in general. BTW - it's quite a pity that Ioannidis himself started selecting data towards his thesis with regard to COVID-19.

> It's not about machine learning per sé, but its observations can be applied to any field where empirical studies are common, like machine learning.

Unfortunately, it applies to theoretical findings too. For example, universal approximation theorem, no free lunch theorem or incompleteness theorems, are widely misunderstood. There are also countless less known theoretical results that are similarly misunderstood.
