I agree, I learned Kubernetes, we use it in our company and to be honest, we could live without it, but it was just ugly, due to lack of good standardization. Now we have GitOps and can easily use tools like Argo Workflows, Argo CD and Argo Events to execute practically any kind of reasonable activity, make it reusable and everyone can see how everything works, at least on dynamically created k3d cluster provisioned with Terraform for development/testing/learning purposes. It's also easy to show everything you create on high level and communicate it to others, because it's easily presentable with e.g. draw.io

It doesn't of course solve all kind of issue, because software development is very complex area, but it's making it easier to reason about some solution with others, so we can make what actually client wants without many dirty hacks and rediscovering the wheel.

Do we need all these tools and concepts to just build cooperatively, some secure APIs, some front-end, automatically test them and ensure that solution will be highly available under light or moderate load?
Probably no, but it would be much harder, even if our solution will be used only internally to handle up to few hundred requests per second and not millions of them.

With Kubernetes I can setup almost everything on my own, with just virtual machines or servers and some networking change requests and assuming that infrastructure is stable, solution deployed with Kubernetes will probably be also stable. There are also managed Kubernetes clusters provided in cloud, where cost might seem high for smaller companies or there might be worries about security of using cloud, but once you get it how to create proper cloud-native solutions with Kubernetes, everything becomes much simpler.
However learning curve is steep, so beginner might still have issues with efficient use of Kubernetes or other advanced setups, if there won't be good guidance on solution from documentation and/or meetings.
I do the same. But I've done it enough times now that I usually start at the 10k number, just to survive a huge press surge without trouble. Hardware and software is good enough now that this isn't usually much of an overhead.

We have had enough UFO movies to desensitize people. If this is true, I doubt anyone will be shocked.
There's one hole here where it feels like things could slip through.
- You call the send email API but your server crashes before the API returns 200.

This would be fine in the case of email servers (you just end up sending the email twice). It seems a lot less fine in the case of Stripe transactions.

I guess, the concept of idem-potency keys can solve this issue. (https://brandur.org/idempotency-keys)

What? When? Should we be holding modern organisations accountable for Napolenic wars? That's absolutely hilarious statement. So when's USA going to take the revenge against the Brits? I'd like to adjust my vacation plans accordingly.

On the other hand ... You being a marine explains a lot. Standards of US military industrial complex to what country has the right to have as legitimate interest and horrifying.

It's not about being good guys or bad guys. It's about not poking your nose in the stuff of people who live outside of your borders without a firm invitation from global community.
It's not all that unique, it's just that "daily car rentals" are pretty amorphous. Similar to how the car wash was the go-to money launder on Breaking Bad.

If you have some other eComm platform telling T-shirts or whatever, sure there could be fake orders but it wouldn't be all that hard to track down that these THINGS were never sent/made. But anything involving a service...well, it's much harder to prove that those things DIDN'T happen.
It’ll be fun to hack the protocol and send your personhood to a frozen wallet, or the technical equivalent.

Refutations of the criticisms are not that convincing. It takes a LOT of hardening to bulletproof protocols. VCs will only be on board if they can make outsize profits, maybe SA is unusual but the future behavior of any person is unknown. Certainly the other early adopters will be looking for pyramid angles just as with all other crypto.

I would not at all be surprised to find more non-human bots than humans on it after a few years. Getting governments to buy into it is dystopian. We’d like to think that dystopias just spring from fiction writers, but less-dramatic dystopias spring up on all social arenas from the interests of various participants.

What a great tool. I'll pass this info along. Thank you!
Regardless of the meritoriousness of Sam Altman's startup, I find at admirable that the admins allow these kind of discussions about Y Combinator to go on. There is so much outright censorship on the internet these days. It would be easy for YC to just have a policy of deleting any content or threads critical of YC, and it's good to see that's not what's happening.

In general the primary reason for using doubly linked lists, despite their terrible cache behaviour, is that they are the only data structure that is very easy to write in C. So I'm not sure how much that is going to be an issue in Rust where it is much easier to use other data structures that perform significantly better in practice anyway.
This is all true, but it doesn't preclude the possibility of generating DNA. Human share a lot of DNA sequences with other animals, and the genetic differences between individual humans are even smaller. You might have trouble generating a human with horns or something, but a taller one is probably mostly an engineering problem.

What GPT-3 and DALL-E shows is that you can infer a lot based on the latent structure of data, even without understanding the underlying physical process.
We are one of an infinite collection of possible states of existence. It‘s super pointless and super scary as there are infinite worlds where we are suffering infinite pain literally forever.

Why isn‘t there just nothing? We will never know I suppose, but there are probably an infinite amount of worlds where we do know.
I find it worthwhile to re-read the Declaration of Independence from time to time, even more so than the US Constitution (for some of the reasons mentioned above).

The real mindset change happened, for me, when I saw that coercion in society is THE enemy. All actions and interactions should be voluntary. It's when those lines are crossed that crimes and evil occur. Everything flows from that, in my opinion.

The philosophy behind MKL is that each CPU vendor provides an MKL for their CPU. If you expect to mix and match MKLs and CPUs, you don’t understand the goals of MKL.
I refuse to do those and have fallen victim to it as a founder, so not in my case.
It certainly is still relevant. Please read the article (and the 2020 update below) before commenting on it.
The problem is that the creator isn’t very responsive to requests for clarification.

Without writing down what our natural rights are in a way that is understandable, you’re stuck trying to reconcile religious beliefs. How do you deal with an individual who believes that people of African descent we designated by the creator as less than human?

We deal with this today in other contexts. Ambiguity and conviction don’t mix well.
Well, that's a good question, isn't it? None of the characters, including the witch, are without their flaws and problems in their worldview. You might be interested in watching the musical to find out more.
I doubt that.

Ignoring confounding algorithmic factors, the very rough consensus for human brain appears to be 10^16 FLOPS. A modern RTX3090 GPU has 10^13 FLOPS. I doubt your laptop has 1000x the compute of a high-end desktop GPU.
What do you think of the third to last image of the Girl With A Pearl Earring that DALL-E 2 created? I find it more compelling than the original with how her face is deeply cast in shadow. There's still that original 'essence' of the glint in her eye. But her earring is a bell. As if the AI is sending a message that what if the bell were to ring?
No one said anything like that. I'm not sure what you're on about.

I believe the plan is that the person filming can send the footage/evidence to the police and then the driver/owner would be fined.
It's more complicated than that. Victorian morality was also about (for example) discouraging child prostitution, of which Victorian society had quite a lot. Middle-class moralizers eventually morphed into social reformers when they discovered it was hard to be a good person in tough social conditions. And so on. The good and bad are not very easy to disentangle.
The tweet wasn't particularly informative. Under what "action" did they justify unionizing? Students? Researchers? Teachers? some combination of these? Back in ancient times, I was a student and researcher being paid (most semesters) by being a teacher (TA). If one's boss had money or you were really good, you didn't need the support and so didn't teach.
Andreessen Horowitz declined to comment on this story. Khosla Ventures did not respond to a request for comment.

Just not good enough.
My haphazard guess from zero evidence: they may have ran some A/B testing on their platform that compared showing full price vs hiding the fees, and have come away with the conclusion that their conversion rate is x% higher when deploying the dark pattern. What such studies fail to measure is the cost of eroding brand trust, but this is just one possible scenario.
In a recent Airbnb thread employees [1] were justifying their work by discussing how each individual patch looks minuscule, but via employing a bandit with sufficient arms the changes aggregate to yield fantastic returns for investors. This is that.

Thanks! This was a good article. I guess there's a question of what to do if the API does not have idem-potency keys, (maybe it's possible to wrap it?)
Except that there are legitimate and non fraudulent "real" companies.

Consider percentages and probabilities rather than anecdotes.
I had to smile while reading the post as I experienced this many times. It’s a shame. The question remains: How can this be improved? Especially critically when public money is spent on large scale multi million projects. As a citizen, I would like to see a “fair” bidding process where the “best” supplier wins.
> Stray away from this model (e.g., relaxed atomics)

Relaxed atomics are still data-race free, did you mean non-atomic accesses?
As everyone already knows, a large percentage of "major brand" hotels are owned and operated independently (like a franchised restaurant, for example).

If you ever get a Marriott that tries to add fees that you didn't expect, call up corporate Marriott and complain about a violation of their legal settlement regarding hidden fees. They will absolutely lay the hammer down on the hotel and you'll end up with credits far in excess of the attempted hidden fee ;)
Last time this came up on Hacker News I discovered SolidWorks 2021 was using an older MKL library that supports the MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE=5 environment variable. I'm on an AMD cpu and measured a small solidworks fps and rebuild time improvement with the flag enabled
Presuming we agree with the post I was replying to, this "shallow advantage" is only relevant if the outcome we want is upvotes and shallow engagement. Sometimes, that's exactly right, for example if we're promoting a new crypto coin, maybe it is beneficial to begin a post with "Crypto-Luddites will hate this, but WhyseeCoin..."

However, what I am also saying above is that there's another motivation for a post in a forum like HN, which is good-faith debate amongst people with open minds. I stand by my assertion that such openings detract from the post when we're seeking good-faith exploration of ideas.

I believe these two stances can coëxist happily.

As the inventor on twenty-something patents, I think you're understating how much input engineers have. Yes, the bulk of the work is done by patent attorneys, mostly translating from pure technical jargon into that weird mixture of jargon and legalese that patents are written in ("...of the one or several..." and "...such as but not limited to..." and all that rot). However, for a patent of any complexity this often involves multiple rounds of back-and-forth with engineers to clarify and ensure correctness. In fact, I'd argue that any engineer who isn't involved in the writing process is failing to be sufficiently diligent or act in good faith when they sign the part about the patent accurately reflecting the invention.
A lovely comment from an account created 1 hour ago.
Hello fellow Aspie technologist! The best advice I can give you is pretty simple...

Everyone has their quirks and challenges, and IT is ripe with a ton of undiagnosed Autistic people among tons of other mental health challenges. Unless your autism impacts your ability to function at a basic level, there's really no reason to disclose it at the application/interview stage. When you're being screened/interviewed be sure to be clear about the working environment you're looking for and try to be mindful over time of your capacity and be sure you're communicating about your workloads and statuses regularly.
Maybe my anecdotal experience of taking mushrooms and feeling like I can communicate with plants is not completely far fetched nonsense.
Certainly food for thought.

Say I'm looking for photography of real events and places, like a royal weeding or a volcano erupting does this help me? Of specific places and architectural features? Of a protest?

You're suggesting clipart on steroids:
https://thispersondoesnotexist.com

I think if I was istockphoto.com I'd be a little worried, but that is microstock photography. I'm not sure that is worth billions. In fact I know it isn't.

Besides once this tech is wildly available if anything it devalues this sort of thing further closer to $0.

It would probably augment existing processes rather than replace them completely.

If you are doing a photoshoot for a banana stand with a human model with characteristics x,y,z you're still going to get a human from an agency or craigslist to pose. If suddenly the client informs you that they needed human a,b,c instead maybe one of these forthcoming tools will let you swap that out faster. You'd upload your photoshoot and an example or two of the type of human model you wished you had retroactively and it would fix it up faster than an intern.

Cool.
I think this would work well with the model as described in the article, since for every list operation you're assumed to be starting from an actual pointer to some list element, which you can use to endow the recomputed addresses with the right provenance component.
Apple had a head start with M1 but they’re falling behind in Single Core perf
Apple turned the industry upside down with the M1 at the end of 2020 but we’re almost halfway through 2022 and the new M1 Ultra has the same single core performance as the M1 from 2020.

The flagship Intel Alder Lake is already +20% faster than the M1 Ultra in single core. The M2 comes out at the end of this year at the earliest and it will be based on the A15 architecture from iPhone 13, which was 10% faster in single core over the A14, which the M1 is based on.

Do you guys think Apple is in trouble when Intel gets their stuff together and makes their chips more efficient?
Could we be underestimating the ability of very simple systems to result in consciousness?
> The arabic domination of the muslim world was ended by the mongols.

Islam was never exclusive to the Arabs. One of the main tenants of Islam is that there is no difference between Arab and non-Arab, black and white, etc.

> But the arabs wiped out local cultures and religions

No they did not. Even Christian and Jewish academics and historians admit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc6yXYR01Vg&t=5s

You can also see how cultures who converted to Islam preserved their traditions quite well (e.g. in the sub-Indian peninsula, far East Asia, etc.).
I see the appeal of this, but don't understand how anything like Worldcoin would be able to achieve that. People already have wealth accumulated in the real world, and there's no reason giving everyone an equal amount of a cryptocurrency would suddenly place everyone in an equal starting position.
Referring to BF1942, I mean tactical in the sense that you had to cooperate on tactics with your team, for example you might spend 10 minutes traversing a hill to flank the enemy. In the modern games, flanking is redundant as you respawn just a few meters from wherever you died.

Crypto only really makes sense when it's tied to sovereignty. Using passports ties it to nation state sovereignty.

It's worth keeping in mind Timothy May's email signature from the cypherpunks mailing list, which gave birth to all of this:

Beth has dirty money. Bob, a friend of Beth’s, “rents” her car. (There is no car. Maybe Bob pays Beth over Turo and then Beth gives Bob the dirty cash.) Beth now has the appearance of legitimate income.
At the firmware / driver level, fully open specifications for high performance hardware is an impossible dream.

At best, detailed documentation is a lower priority item below "make it work" and "increase performance".

At worst, it requires exposing trade secrets.

Edit: It'd probably be more productive for everyone if we set incentives and work such that the goal we want (compilers that produce code that runs optimally on Intel, AMD, and other architectures) isn't contingent on Intel writing them for non-Intel architectures. (Said somewhat curmudgeonly, because everyone complains about things like this, but also doesn't really how insanely hard and frustratingly edge-case-ridden compiler work is)

Is a lazy way to ensure one wallet per person. Just look at how real world does this. There are layers and layers of checks throughout a persons life that verify they exist individually, sign off from nurses and docs at birth etc. Taking photos of a government id is one of them. Even that, it can still be faked if you go enough lengths, let alone a one time iris scanner.

There are 2020 updates around MKL (But you may be correct that that content is about 2019 MKL optimizations).

I think the problem is generally legal, not administrative. Development in germany would typically be held up by people suing the developers to stop it from going ahead, so the city or state itself wouldn't be in a position to speed things along in a majority of cases.

> the principle that the use of renewable energies is of overriding public interest and will be given priority over other concerns until greenhouse gas neutrality is achieved.
