Honestly, with the terrible manufacturing quality these days, plus the fact that everything has unexpected electronics crammed everywhere, I wouldn't "hose out" any product and expect it to work again, unless the only purpose of the product was to hold water.
You don't actually need to do that. You can use Xcode to put any app you compile onto an iPhone connected to your Mac, regardless of whether you're paying. However, if you're not paying then those apps will only work for 7 days before you have to re-deploy them.

I'm not saying this is great. Just that you were wrong. :D

Someone forgot who was in charge that handed out all the cash in 2020. . . It's pretty easy to see how we have inflation given they gave out all those impossible to trace ppp loans to their friends and family.
I miss Ebert. He never cheated and was clear as to which standard he was judging a movie by.
Sure, but that's the point. The reinterpretation of the commerce clause circa the Great Depression seems (to my not-a-lawyer eyes) to imply that if these border stops are going to raise prices in Oklahoma, the Executive is within its purview to tell the Governor to give his state troopers something else to do.

My gut says that Abbott knows this, but he just needs to string the legal process out 'til election day so he doesn't care.
I think of apple as anti-software. they sell physical/digital products. but they don't do software.
I haven't tried in a while, but CaptureOne has very limited lens support compared to Lightroom. I wonder if that's changed.

An Amazon wide union would include hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers, and a much smaller number of tech workers,

The Amazon warehouse business and Amazon Web Services having the same union is … odd.
No, unfortunately I don't. I wasn't really an ICQ user, just made accounts which were then used on the AIM network when they had a partnership.
I highly recommend YouTube Comment Search[1]. I just searched for "hike" and got three Putin Price Hike quips from Psaki (yesterday's brief).

The masses are being programmed to look away from monetary policy. The last time an invasion caused oil prices to soar, we didn't get 8.5% inflation!

Neither of your links support your claims. I don't know if the OP is correct or not but you're just saying "that's obvious false - no evidence, here's the definition of owner-operator".

It depends a lot, but I'll bite.

Assuming a fairly standard CRUD app:

App frontend: Netlify + Vue.js SPA, Tailwind CSS

Backend: REST server in Go, in docker, deployed wherever the hell is easiest. Probably k8s if I don't mind spending $50/mo because I'm super familiar with it and it will scale with me.

DB: Postgres

Cloud provider: GCP

Marketing blog: Hugo + Tailwind CSS

Source control: Github

Issue tracking: Github projects + Github issues

CI/CD: Github actions

Analytics: GA4 (Only if I want to feed Google optimize or Google ads) + Mixpanel

Payments: Stripe

Mail (API and marketing): Sendgrid

I've used a ton of different tools in most of these instances and these just happen to be my favorites for the "standard" use case.
This is not surprising. Union jobs pay more and have better benefits. That makes them harder to leave when you’re miserable there.
This is only the case* when there is actually something to be gained by specializing the implementation of a data type or function for a given type. In my experience that isn't particularly common.

* Excluding Go's implementation of generics, which are frequently less performant than even vtable dispatch, let alone manually copied implementations.
Yes. People must remember that the libraries will close down sooner if politicians and bureaucrats are able prove nobody uses them anymore.
> This is not what DDG are doing though. They are explicitly inserting their bias

Well... yeah. How did you think instant answers worked in DuckDuckGo? They were coming from a list of curated sites.

A search engine is not accidentally biased, it is biased by design. The entire point is that DDG has a bias towards a set of criteria it uses to decide what does and doesn't count as a relevant search result. The whole point of a search engine is to be biased.

This is like arguing that Linux upstream repositories are biased because they curate which software goes into the Arch package list and decide for users what is and isn't malware. Yeah, of course they do that, that is literally their job -- literally the entire reason why those repositories exist is to filter out bad software. The point of curation/filtering/searching is to have someone else eliminate a bunch of irrelevant information and to rank information based on a set of rules about what is and isn't relevant/useful.

Likewise, the job of DDG is to filter results based on their opinions about what results are good and bad. You can disagree with their criteria or argue that they're filtering too aggressively, but the idea that they're not operating in good faith -- it's absurd, this is why they exist. We want a search engine that brings up accurate/useful information when we search for a topic.

It is astonishing to me that so many people on HN don't understand this, that they apparently never sat down and actually thought about what the phrase "search engine rankings" actually imply about what the search engine is doing behind the scenes.

----

> That they were even able to implement some sort explicit bias functionality so quickly is also a concern to me.

Kind of a sidenote, but this is also a good example of how bad people's instincts are about how algorithms work. People assume that an algorithm is neutral and that manually intervening is bias -- but algorithms are just the result of individual decisions about what criteria to prioritize and how to weight that criteria. A result isn't more or less biased just because it was directly created rather than indirectly created.

It's troubling that so many people on HN of all places were apparently convinced that DDG was completely neutral on political content just because they assumed that there wasn't any kind of manual curation or adjustment going on -- and the manual part is what made them feel good about it. They assumed DDG was unbiased just because the biases were automated and a computer did them.

If DDG was able to tweak their algorithms to get rid of misinformation, that apparently wouldn't have counted as curation? That this attitude is so prevalent even on a technical site makes me feel pessimistic about the future of AI/algorithms in our everyday life, because it shows that people have a fundamental misunderstanding about what algorithms are.

You need your own backups even if you're running EC2. If for no other reason than the vendor disappears, and you want to recreate the system elsewhere.

It's the same problem if you run your own server or on someone else's systems. You need a backup and restore plan either way.

I had everyone in my household start shoving savings into i bonds a year ago. Now that money can be withdrawn (albeit with a small penalty). Those are now our emergency funds and will continue to keep up with costs!
My gut feel is that using IMDB users isn't a good stand in for the general audience. I would think they're a lot more "into" movies than most people, and this analysis is closer to comparing professional vs "non-professional" critics.

There's an old video that videogamedunkey where he talks about the relationship between a critic and reader. Critics (particularly of art/media) shouldn't be looked at as some objective judge of whatever it is their critiquing (even if that's what they're trying to be). Instead you need to build a "relationship" by reading/viewing their stuff to get an idea of their own likes/dislikes/biases.

For me I've gravitated to a few critics whose stuff I read pretty frequently. Even when I've already seen a movie I'll go and read their review afterwards to hear their thoughts on it. Whether I agree with it or not I think it enriches the movie going experience.
So are AWS SRE’s going to strike? Even in the ones who operate the “TOP SECRET” region for the federal government?
Agreed with everything you said. It's a pity everything today has centre consoles splitting the car in 2. I like the idea of a 3 seat bench in the front but i think practicality is getting lost in the name of safety regs and excessive over styling, brand distinction and design detailing. The good news is electric cars can do away with tunnels and petrol tanks.
>that being open source doesn't mean that much, when there is only _one_ party deciding, what goes into the code base.

Being open source doesn't mean I have to maintain your code contributions.
I'd like a command line tool that could transform `history` into a list of alternate tool recommendations. Bonus if it could also generate recommended aliases and functions according to your habits.
Good, clear docs, but as a SRE I want to know a bunch about how it fails.

Is there any indication on the replicas that they are read-only? Can you query the webserver for whether it's read-only or read write?

Is there and plan for failover/promotion? Do I need to do anything besides update the config file? Can I start a server in the mode "Make sure you're up-to-date with what's remote, then switch to RW mode?"

What happens if I accidentally write to a read-only replica? Will the error be detectable immediately, or will I need to do some sort of exercise to discover it? Is it even possible by SQLite semantics, or will I get locking timeouts if I try to write while the process is running? Can I use permissions to help?
It's not an age thing.

People born today aren't going to see the leaps in technology that you saw because we're approaching the physical limits of transistor size.
A revolution is an understatement. Presenting differently is nice for now but projecting just slightly more into the future the whole concept of presenting might be over and done with.

For example: My gf spends hours dolling herself up, making poses, sometimes traveling to interesting places to get good instagram photos. The desire is to present herself as a cool and attractive person.

This all becomes meaningless with Dall E.
The article has links for "power lines" (twice!), "wind" turbines, and "birds".

Despite mentioning the vulnerability maps, it does not link to such a map. It does not even link to the study or paper. I imagine many people would be interested in those significant details.
Kurzweil was too conservative. This is the last decade of humanity, as we understand it today.
That they can strike, and scab labor is not a viable option. My daughter did a stint at an Amazon warehouse. She was basically productive “enough” on day 1.

If you have a large enough willing labor pool, and a job that can be trained in one day…strikes basically are just bad PR. Amazon can weather bad PR.

I wonder how far in advance of the actual seizure do they get these graphics ready. Or, perhaps they JIT them and delay the seizure until the final graphic is finished and signed off?
It took me a while to pick up on that. I first thought I was choosing where to go next. I then wasted a bunch of time on it. Fun.
At my work we have such a system for our monorepo. Basically for each compilation unit (basically subdirectories), it takes the compilation inputs and flags etc and checks them against a remote cache. If it matches, it just pulls the results (binaries but also compiler warnings) from the remote instead of compiling anything. A new clean build is made every few commits to the main branch to populate the cache.

In practice it means that if I clone the repo and build it doesn't ever invoke the compiler, so that it takes only a few minutes instead of an hour.

Bazel has a similar system but I haven't used it myself,

The existence of a person may have a potential affect of some degree on interstate commerce, and therefore can be regulated in entirety under the commerce Claude.

That is the reasoning behind the affordable health care act on existing without government mandated levels of health insurance e. Your existence as a human affects commerce, and therefore is penalizable.

And the stupid 16th amendment. That's caused just as many problems as the commerce clause.
Even if the goods are ultimately destined for California they still will likely enter the US through Texas. It just doesn’t make sense for a truck coming from Laredo or Reynosa to snake it’s way accross northern Mexico.

Well, this will definitely serve an unchanging static website. But unchanging static websites are just archives. Most static websites have new .html and other files added on whim regularly.
I’ve only tried Plex TV and I only use it for my own content collection (to me, the new additions are no-op). I like it and recommend it. It’s free if you don’t want to do hardware transcoding and a few other things. I bought it for $75 lifetime at some point.

So, I can recommend Plex over null. For me, having it automatically lookup meta data and cover art is useful, but it’s by no means unique there.

There are good apps for FireTV and a basic web player. I have an iOS app as well, but I can’t recall ever using it except to browse the library.
Being liberal and not wanting unions at your own place are two very different things.

A local non-profit, partisan, progressive newspaper fought its staff on unionizing just as hard as it’s for profit peers. This is a paper that exists to promote progressivism.

iMovie is impossible to figure out (it was easy many years ago then they ruined it). How about a simple app to let me trim and splice video and add audio? And a simple way to export, but not so simple that the choices are youtube and something else. Just export at whatever resolution I choose. And don't put stupid intros, outros, and transitions unless I ask for them.

No, people on the playlists are artists /created by spotify/. It's insidious because you expect these to be curated playlists containing real artists that you might like. But really spotify is redirecting all the royalty money to... themselves.
Does anyone know how a modern-day tribal member would have acquired the [edit]techique to go along with the knowledge?[end edit] It seems that so much time has passed since the practice was allowed that no modern-day Native American would have learned it via actual practice.

It's interesting because for me it's the opposite. I feel DALL-E 2 is the clear evidence that we're headed for the next AI-Winter soon.

Don't get me wrong, DALL-E is remarkable. But it's remarkable in almost the exact same way ELIZA was remarkable in 1966, and Markov Chain generative models were in the 1990s. All of these, given the context computational powers at the time, were both miracles and parlor tricks at the same time.

The trouble is that these demos are impressive, but not much has changed in how the world works. I work in AI/ML and every places I've seen the practical applications of these techniques has ranged the equivalent to adding sprinkles on a cake, to completely useless engineering nightmares that would ultimately create more value with their removal.

Yea, a 3.5 billion parameter model is neat, but we know that in 1970 when we couldn't imagine training such a thing. The problem is that we've made essentially no progresses other than showing when you pour incredible human and physical resources into a pot the result looks cool.

But when you do the accounting, and ask yourself "what has really changed with all these fantastic innovations in machine learning" the answer is surprisingly little.

Dall-E 2 is the type of cool that will be figure 12-3 in a undergrad textbook in 20 years. Students will go "oh that's cool" and turn the page.

Drunk as a Skunk
I don't think you can say Lightning only exists to make Apple money. They did come out with it a decent length of time before USB-C was finalized (2012 vs 2014), and (I think) Lightning is clearly superior to pre-C USB options for a phone.

Then when USB-C was available, Apple had only just switched connectors, and there were enough angry people when they switched away from the 30-pin connector (which had been in use for ~9 years) that switching connectors again after only a few years would have been a massive source of drama. They do seem to be slowly working towards a switch now, with USB-C showing up in iPads over the last few years, but I sincerely think that it'd have been overall bad for their PR to try to switch iPhones away anytime earlier than the last year or two.

The longer they linger now, admittedly, the more money-grubbing it'll seem.

Tell HN: HN is not immune to manipulation
It started innocently. There was (is) a submission from phys.org about birds and windmills which caught my attention. Ironically, it was the odd article which didn't provide links to the actual research or paper it mentioned which caught my eye.

Then in the comments, I saw a strange post from an HN reader (who was also the submitter) which merely pasted an intro paragraph from the phys.org page. The comment and quote added nothing other than a visible "1 comment" to the post.

Looking at the submissions from this user, I saw dozens of submissions each day for the last several days. Many had a particular slant related to a particular ongoing war.

Moderator dang is one person. Is there any way we can keep HN from becoming drowned in garbage?
100% agree. It's such a versatile tool -- for example I have the following:

git config --local core.hooksPath $PWD/.githooks
export DOCKER_CONFIG=$(realpath secrets/docker)

Combine that with git-crypt[0] (obviously, don't commit secrets in plaintext to your repo!) for example and you have some really nice ergonomics.

Is that so? It kind of sounds like there's cases to consider where there's actually a performance gain, but in certain use cases in languages with implementations of this feature in a different way... From the article I linked:

"Historically, monomorphization has been the design of choice for implementing Generics in systems languages such as C++, D, or Rust. There are many reasons for this, but it all boils down to trading longer compile times for significant performance gains in the resulting code. When you replace the type placeholders in generic code with their final types before the compiler has performed any optimization passes, you create an exciting universe of optimizations that are essentially impossible when using boxed types. At the very least, you get to de-virtualize function calls and get rid of virtual tables; in the best case scenario, you get to inline code, which in turn enables further optimizations. Inlining code is great. Monomorphization is a total win for systems programming languages: it is, essentially, the only form of polymorphism that has zero runtime overhead, and often it has negative performance overhead. It makes generic code faster.

So, as somebody who works on performance for large Go applications, I admit I was not particularly excited about Generics in Go, really. I was excited about monomorphization, and about the potential for the Go compiler to perform optimizations that it simply can’t do when it’s dealing with interfaces. Cue my disappointment: The Generics implementation in Go 1.18 does not use monomorphization… at least, not quite."
