It's not usable as a currency except in the most dire circumstances and no one is working to fix this. Transactional currency has been abandoned as a goal by every major crypto project, and it doesn't make a sensible replacement for currencies in functioning economies. If the only use case is as a currency alternative for people in a failed state, it's not a compelling technology, and it's not even doing that right now.

Dotcom companies were offering services that hundreds of millions of people could use around the world. There was a bubble and many tech valuations were stupid, but people used Webvan to solve a problem. No one is using crypto for anything other than speculation on the price of crypto.

> It can be rebuilt the same way it was built: piece by piece.

Not exactly. A huge part of what happened in China and made its industrial revolution possible was demographic: a lot of young, rural population that could (thanks to mechanisation of farming) now go off to the mega-cities and work in factories.

In contrast, the Western world does not have many young people any more and especially not many willing to work for shit wages... we could technically rebuild our supply chains domestically, but we won't have the population to staff the factories and the automation experience to automate them. Not to mention that an awful lot of what was "outsourced" were extremely dirty and polluting processes - the Silicon Valley is at the top of the Superfund sites count for a reason. Bringing these processes back home will require a lot of investment to ensure environmental compliance, or it won't be possible at all under the current environmental legislation.

We're not happy with the noisiness of filesystem and network issues, so we mark them as a bit lower priority for the moment. The specific issue is that we currently only detect when 'fs', 'net', etc. are required and not whether they're actually used and which specific functions are used.

We're working on improving our analysis and are close to shipping a big update at which point we'll increase the severity of these issues.

How Gen Z is reshaping retail product design
I literally link maps that show how some areas in the US have a harder time and would require substantially more build out. These same areas have nonhomogeneous sun distribution throughout the year too, with pretty drastic differences. If you require an extra 20-30% more panels, other options become more attractive. If you have longer winters with ever increasing snow storms, other options look better. If you are in a population dense area, something with a small footprint is attractive and with a trade-off. You don't want long power lines that would get cut and shut down your whole city. Nuclear's problem is it's price. But a few factors or trade-offs can make it competitive. Including just a $10/ton carbon tax.

Again, I'm not sure why were arguing as if it's renewables vs nuclear. You use whatever is best for your area and matches your needs. All I'm arguing is that nuclear can be advantageous in _some_ situations. (If you think nuclear for everything, or even solar for everything, your ideas about energy are very naive).
That’s not true at all though. By 1985 any kid with a Commodore 64 and a modem could run their own Blue Board BBS for the price of a monthly dedicated phone line. Total cost just a few hundred dollars and with free local calling very inexpensive.

The DMV worker that administered my mom's last test definitely fudged things so she could renew her license.

Luckily she basically never drives anyway [edit: because my dad who's still a decent driver drivers her around when she needs it because they both know she's not safe on the road, not because she can get by without a car], but I doubt that was an isolated incident. Because of how we've designed our cities, not being able to drive can represent a huge loss of freedom. In the moment, it seems some (and I'm guessing many) DMV workers take pity on the vulnerable elderly person in front of them rather than some hypothetical future victim of that driver.
Weird. I'd look into it if I were still at cruise, but alas.

Fair for me and I think a lot of people a startup is a new business that attempts (and hopefully succeeds) to take on outside investment to grow rapidly -- otherwise you're just a new small business.
Hello HN, introducing my note-taking app. Please check it out. I am proud of the "killer feature" which is the tag tree, which intersects all note tags and creates a "binary tree" type of UI experience to find notes. The design of this was fun, as it initially didn't use virtualization and debugging showed hundreds of thousands of containers being generated. Now it's virtualized and very speedy =).
Nice one! I really enjoyed the title, and also the idea to make an effort to actively support lurkers.

I was wondering if you find Lurking especially impactful in the Open Source context, or in InnerSource as well?

Also did you have either of these in mind when writing the blog posts? I wasn't clear about that from the post as it talks both about "communities" as well as "teams".

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to America, where you are an unwitting tester of many private ventures that have been signed off on by the American government on your behalf.

Remember that complaining about these tests and demanding more control means that you are communist. Unless of course you don't mind waiting around to be harmed by such tests, and are either able to sue, or told that you had no reasonable expectation of safety.

Ah yeah, the crazy logic of every abusive ex. “Don’t you dare looking at anyone else or else I snap your neck” Very persuasive.

Ukraine was nowhere close to be even considered for EU or NATO membership. So what exactly “triggered” the conflict? Other than the fact that Putin decided to send in troops to grab larger and larger pieces of Ukraine?
"They want surplus capacity. They prefer resiliency to efficiency when it comes to food crops (including fodder). If something goes wrong, they want the ability to put additional fields into play quickly."

Source?

This is not the reason I'm aware of. I believe it's all about price control on the supply side, not capacity. Just look at that old SCOTUS ruling that forbid individuals from growing more more a specific amount a wheat. They used the interstate commerce clause to say that the secondary affects of growing your own wheat jeopardizes the wheat industry due to the inability to control prices.

For example, there are current talks about a food crisis due to the war in Ukraine. Yet the USDA has not authorized the land enrolled in conservation programs to be utilized. Also, that land tends to be the lower producing land. Farmers get paid the same for the enrolled land, so they enroll the lower producing acres.
As a parallel, I'm not sure how Elon Musk would turn SpaceX into PayPal.
I would like to see a source on any of that. Something that is not 4chan-level…
Myths and misconceptions in the debate on Russia [pdf]
... https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/04/08/russia-blacklists-...

> Russia has blacklisted U.K. foreign affairs think tank Chatham House as an “undesirable organisation,” the country’s Prosecutor-General's Office announced Friday.

The authorities believe the organization presents "a threat to the constitutional order and security of Russia."

> “Everybody within the Chatham House Russia program that has expressed an opinion is enormously proud of this endorsement,” said Keir Giles, a Russia expert at Chatham House.

“It comes as confirmation that the program’s work is both effective and heading in the right direction. For those old enough, it is reminiscent of times under the Soviet regime, when a denunciation in Pravda would be the ultimate recognition that you had annoyed the USSR by doing the right thing", he said. “We will continue to support Ukraine, and there will be absolutely no effect on Chatham House’s work promoting peace and security in Europe."
The Real Engineering youtube link in one of the comments above mine in this thread has an example where putting it in the desert yields three times more than putting it on location in Germany. So there is a significant difference in some places. I'd imagine that makes a difference in being cost competitive.

Also in the video: A single 700MW line from from morocco to spain cost 150M. Though I suspect thats a more expensive than overhead lines.
Dynamic languages such as JS allow you to override almost anything. It’s essentially impossible to sandbox “part” of JS code, you must either sandbox the entire runtime (e.g. in browsers) or allow everything (e.g. in node.js).

Individual packages want to run arbitrary JS code to do “safe” things during installation. But it’s very hard to allow them to do anything meaningful like file access, even if it’s “safe”, without potentially allowing exploits.
Hi, first thanks for your work both in TC39 and Deno.

But that's not the heart of the problem for node. The problem with node ecosystem and is a combination of a refusal from Core to provide a meaningful standard library, a set of packages people can trust so they don't have to download random things from the internet just to parse the body of a multi-part request for instance, and the fact that NPM was badly architectured as it's going to fetch as many versions of a same package as it needs to solve dependencies. Good package managers don't do that, period. Of course that, given the dynamic nature of Javascript, anybody can monkeypatch anything. But the language itself isn't at fault, it REALLY IS both the politics of a paper thin STD lib and bad package management with stupid dependency resolution.

And frankly Node.js should stop shipping with a package manager and its infrastructure entirely controlled by Microsoft. it's so bizarre how nobody seems to mind that in the Node community... NPM servers aren't open source.
What kind of mental gymnastics are you jumping thru to think a full-scale foreign invasion is acceptable because a president that's suites your political wills gets ousted thru civil protests?

In a parallel universe where Trudeau promised closer ties to the EU and pivoted mid-term to get closer to the USA, would the USA be entitled to invade and annex us should we decide to throw him out?

$1,500 is about the entry price for a used Hasselblad 500C/M with kit lens (80mm f/2.8). If you're paying $15,000 for a Hasselblad, you can get something brand-new with two or three lenses. If you're buying straight off eBay auctions, it's easy to end up paying too much, but even then, you aren't likely to be paying more than $2,500 for a typical 500C/M kit.
This couldn't be further away from what I really wanted. Way too much friction, lots of features and noisy UI... I'm sure it has its target audience, but it isn't for me.
As a customer, it's really hard to write these kind of reviews; people may still end up expecting something slightly larger, because even with the best of efforts it's just hard to judge these things from a picture or video. This is not anyone's "fault", it's just that humans aren't really good at judging these sort of things.

So what review do you leave? 5-star because the product is "as advertised" and otherwise good? Or 4-star because it's not quite what you were looking for? I think both options are reasonable.

The Real Problem™ here is thinking you can automate these sort of things without any human judgement and expect to somehow end up with a reasonable response. There will always be outliers that any human would judge as "yeah, that's just silly" but computers don't care.
"There are some things that a slide rule is superior for -- one item I can think of is visualizing an arbitrary range of fractional values."

It was published. I removed it recently as I was about to butcher it into the other repo with the front-end and didn't want two wildly different versions.

As I haven't done that yet I can put it back up once I get back to a city (currently almost off grid in the Lake District - purposefully didn't bring a laptop with me, I can get away with this as my sites haven't been down in 8 years and I don't feel an obligation to interrupt a vacation to get it online if it did go down during a holiday... It would wait a couple of days).

Not sure if the english connotation of the word differs from the German one, but in the German meaning it stands for you having to do a specific move _because_ the other person made a move.

A common example would be you having to drink a schnaps because all other people at the table drink one too.

So it is not about the fact that you have to do a turn, but that you have to do a specific turn, which you may or may not have done if the Zugzwang had not existed.
From my experience with deep learning I can eyeball it: one or two orders of magnitude. The fine details may be different on this particular problem.

In DL in general, if you have sort of equivalent CPU/GPUs (think a 5600 vs GeForce 3070) you'll find yourself in the range of 10 to 30x faster training with GPU. If you have substantially different platforms, you can start looking at 100x speedups or more.

For example, my mobile 4600H CPU trains about 100x slower than a desktop GeForce 2060. And close to 300x faster than the old Intel 7200u I use as a "slow system" to test things. Which also has a GeForce 940MX, that trains about 30x slower than the 2060 (if you manage to make your model small enough to fit in 2GB of VRAM).
Is this true? We aren't seeing this even as we are facing a potential food crisis due to the war in Ukraine. SCOTUS seems to think it's about price control when looking at the Roscoe Filburn case.
Hi, I'm João, one of the co-authors of this post!

Regarding mediasoup, their Rust effort so far has focused mostly on the server side of things, whereas for this particular project we would be looking more towards the client side.

That would definitely be something we are considering contributing to, as it would, as you say, drop quite a significant amount of C++ (with additional benefits on the web side, too).
You might need to install all the language servers and extensions on the remote host too. Typically VS code realizes they're missing and prompts to install them. But if there's an issue you might need to dig around and see why it can't install the LSP services there (perhaps you don't have permission or access to get them).
Not true. What stops this is the creation of another service that comes in to take that space...until they go public again

But more importantly this post really doesn't describe issues of scale.

Sure it has the stages of recommendation, that might or might not be correct, but it doesn't describe how all of those processes are scheduled, coordinated and communicate.

Stuff at scale is normally a result of tradeoffs, sure you can use a ML model to increase a retention metric by 5% but it costs an extra 350ms to generate and will quadruple the load on the backend during certain events.

What about the message passing, like is that one monolith making the recommendation (cuts down on latency kids!) or micro services, what happens if the message doesn't arrive, do you have a retry? what have you done to stop retry storms?

did you bound your queue properly?

none of this is covered, and my friends, that is 90% of the "architecture at scale" that matters.

Normally stuff at scale is "no clever shit" followed by "fine you can have that clever shit, just document it clearly, oh you've left" which descends into "god this is scary and exotic" finally leading to "lets spend half a billion making a new one with all the same mistakes."
How FAANG actually builds their recommendation systems:

Millions of cores of compute, exabyte scale custom data stores. Good recommendations are expensive. If you try to build a similar system on AWS, you will spend a fortune.

Most recommender models just use co-occurrence as a seed, this can actually work pretty well on it’s own. If you want to get fancy then build up a vectorized form of the document with something like an an autoencoder, then use some approximate nearest neighbors to find documents close by. 95% of the compute and storage is just spent on calculating co-occurrence though.
I have often wondered how close the fees that 'marketplace' companies charge are to the value they provide; of course, in a perfectly competitive world, they would be very close. However, it seems that in practice, the marketplace uses VC money to obtain a near-monopoly (probably aided by the network effects of marketplaces in general), and then extracts what amounts to an economic rent thereafter.

It's interesting to see a strike organized against the marketplace. Perhaps this will be an ultimately more successful way to apply downward pressure on the fees? I wonder if consumers will read this and also participate, ramping up the bad PR for Etsy and putting more pressure on lowering fees. One challenge is that, unlike a labor union, I don't think there are really any legal protections for a 'seller strike'.
People have started turning to webrtc for broadcast streaming (1->many) instead of hls/dash because of the lower glass-to-glass latency. But it has scalability problems which makes it enormously expensive comparatively. There are low-latency variants of HLS and DASH emerging now though

>But if Finland joins NATO, Sweden either must yield to RU or join NATO itself.

Why? Russia has made no mention of any issues with Sweden. And in this scenario, the only reason Finland would find themselves in conflict is if they joined NATO. Not saying that is a valid reason for Russia to go on the offensive, but it is a well known and documented policy.
It's another study typical of social scientists who don't understand statistics trying to pass off their political views as science. If you look at the graphs presented the 95% confidence intervals range from no correlation to positive to negative correlation, sometimes in the same graph. And R^2 is sub 0.3 which means even the correlative effect is incredibly weak. Yet somehow the authors come to the conclusion that there is a "strong positive association [between commercial labor and total work time]". Did they look at the same graphs we're looking at?

edit: on top of that, they assume a linear relationship between commercial work and total work when half their graphs display extremely nonlinear behavior and the data clearly does not support a normally distributed regression coefficient. This is really bad science.
