> I never got the sense that [Lua] could scale much beyond one-person projects.

I had a misfortune to deal with more than 200K lines of Lua code back in time [1]. It seems that my experience doesn't necessarily match those of other big Lua users though; it does seem to work when everyone is willing to invest in self-contained environments. In the other words successful Lua users doesn't exactly use Lua, they use their own programming systems based on Lua. (I should note that such systems are not guaranteed to be successful, as evident from my case.)

<Spoiler alert: I'm one of the authors behind STUNner>

Wow, this is a perfect summary, thanks! In fact, must better than what we could ever come up with, nice!

Indeed, the idea is to reuse the STUN/TURN protocol suite (note that under the hood the TURN protocol is just an extension to STUN, hence the name STUNner) in order to ingest WebRTC traffic into Kubernetes in a browser-compliant way. ICE is not (necessarily) a concern for STUNner: ICE is just a negotiation protocol for WebRTC clients and servers to arrive to a common understanding of the addresses and ports used to exchange media, and STUNner is the dataplane that makes that communication happen.

And that's maybe the main point here: STUNner is just the dataplane and we still lack a nice control plane. STUNner is already quite usable on its own (but you may need a bit of a reading and manual configuration to make it work), just like how you can use a manually configured Envoy to implement a simpler ingress gateway but of course using it via Istio or Gloo is so much more convenient! So the next step will be to expose STUNner to the Kubernetes control plane wrapped in the Kubernetes Gateway API. We plan this for the next STUNner release, so bear with us! Or better yet, come and join us, we wan use all help!

Even if Adrian Zenz himself may be a person with a questionable character and ethics, the claims in the leak have all been independently verified by an international media coalition, including German private paper Spiegel, German public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk, the BBC and Le Monde [1].

They used a combination of OSINT (e.g. extracting metadata from files or cross-checking photos with satellite images), old-school journalism (= calling phone numbers or connecting with relatives of people abroad) and forensic science (by contracting the Fraunhofer Institute).

> I'm not sure what you mean by parts and not a whole system.
From what I see around, work with Ansible is organized via multiple playbooks i.e.
* playbooks/nginx.yaml
* playbooks/kafka.yaml
* playbooks/monitoring.yaml

each of them configuring only subpart of the whole system. Some of them may have intercrossing functions, like changing sysctls. Thus, it's enforcing state of subset of services, and if, for example after Nginx playbook you logically need to run Monitoring playbook, it can be forgotten/skipped -> configuration drift grows.

Hope it clarifies.
Apparently the official definition is when someone over-identifies with the emotions of someone else (the over identifier is experiencing toxic empathy).

I resent the scripted CS, so I'm not arguing about that part of it, but I think those are actually the opposite of empathy, sociopathically inserted in order to manipulate, emotionally aware but indifferent.
The meaning of the word "nurse" is determined by how the word "nurse" is used and understood.

Perhaps what "nurse" means isn't what "nurse" should mean, but what people mean when they say "nurse" is what "nurse" means.
Yep, I know. Still, using explosives on a mass scale to counter the actions of tractors is rather impractical. The only place it might be considered useful could be the Ukrainian war. In all other places, digging the earth to plant the explosives will do more for tilling the soil than the explosives themselves.
This article considers stresses further down, where the load has already had a chance to spread substantially over a large are.

Loosely speaking, at some depth it's the entire column of soil below that supports the weight of the machine, and piling on more weight will exceed the uncompressed strength from the column, and so it compresses to handle the load. The problem being that compacted soil is bad for plants ability to grow there.
> And even then [Swift] left me wondering why they could not tolerate a slightly more ugly syntax, in favor of readability.

Well said.

I've also been coding for a couple of decades (mostly in C++) and I also found advanced, real-world Swift unbearably... "irritating", for the lack of a better term. Surprisingly, I do not have that problem with Rust, even though Rust can be quite complex in order to be able to express ideas that Swift cannot handle at all (lifetime, ownership, immutability of reference types, mutable reference exclusivity, dynamic trait types, etc.) Somehow my brain is happy to consume complex Rust, while it's often "irritated" about consuming complex Swift.

I think the reason why Rust is so overwhelmingly better than Swift (for me, at least) is the fact that a lot of (ingenious) effort must have been put by the Rust Gods into Rust language >>consistency<< and >>predictability<<. My proverbial "sh*t, I like Rust..." moment came after I noticed a few things: 1.) Rust did not allow me to force-implement the Copy trait for a type that was not actually simply bitwise-clonable, 2.) Rust was expecting the "await" keyword after an expression, like a function call, yet uniquely without parenthesis, and 3.) Rust closures turned out to be based on the very easily noticeable double-pipe syntax.

My plea to the Rust Gods That Be: do not ever allow Rust to lose that unique "explicitness" and "predictability". It is one of the language's greatest assets.

I know someone who's genuinely very positive, a rare inspiration; but he once said (on Facebook) that he never posts anything non-positive because he doesn't want to be seen as a downer. To me this was problematic, because I was personally coming to find his relentless positivity to be quite depressing.

Are you really trying to defend Tether by saying they are no different than the banks and that they are applying the same tactics from the fiat-system?

By your own standard, if the existing system is so broken and morally corrupt, why do you think it is right to defend Tether?

Tether started with the promise they were fully 1:1 backed with USD. They broke this promise. Later they came up with "collaterized with a basket of assets", which was also a lie and they required re-capitalization [0]

How long are you going to keep lying to yourself and trying to defend a company that is run by criminals?

(Mental entities are very many more than the hundred thousand, out of composition, cartesianity etc. So-called "protocols" (after logical positivism) are part of them, relating more entities with space and time. Also, by speaking of "circular definitions" you are, like others, confusing mental definitions with formal definitions.)

So? Draw your consequences.

Following what was said, you are stating that "a staggering large number of people are unintelligent". Well, ok, that was noted. Scolio: if unintelligent, they should refrain from expressing judgement (you are really stating their non-judgement), why all the actual expression? If unintelligent actors, they are liabilities, why this overwhelming employment in the job market?

Thing is, as unintelligent as you depict them quantitatively, the internal processing that constitutes intelligence proceeds in many even when scarce, even when choked by some counterproductive bad formation - processing is the natural functioning. And then, the right Paretian side will "do the job" that the vast remainder will not do, and process notions actively (more, "encouragingly" - the process is importantly unconscious, many low-level layers are) and proficiently.

And the very Paretian prospect will reveal, there will be a number of shallow takes, largely shared, on some idea, and other intensively more refined takes, more rare, on the same idea. That shows you a distinction between "use" and the asymptotic approximation to meanings as achieved by intellectual application.
> anti-science rethoric

As a lover of science and a scientific researcher (according to my payslips), I have a certain aversion towards this current "defense of science" furor. In my view, science needs no such defenders, and they do more harm than good.

Science is empiricism. That is it. It is the idea that a theory about how the world works must be put to the test through experimentation. And it is also the idea that all theories are forever subject to falsification. There is no space for arguments form authority, personal preferences about how nature should work nor dogma. But this is exactly how many contemporary "defenders of science" are treating science: as an authoritative source that must be trusted. This is why so many people make fun of flat earthers without actually knowing how to verify by themselves that the earth is round.

The deeper aspect of this pathology is the attempt to replace all philosophy with just science. This does a disservice not only to philosophy but also to science itself (which is both a product and an important object of study of philosophy).

For example: flat earthers, or people who promote homeopathy, or any other brand of bullshit, are certainly engaged in peseudo-science, but so are people who pretend that neural correlates provide us with any insight whatsoever into the hard problem of consciousness.

Philosophy does not contribute to the economy. It is not particularly useful in creating new gadgets. There are no philosophy startups, nor philosophy tech giants. But discarding philosophy is short-sighted, and it leads to the hell that we can all quite see coming from the corner of our eyes.

The article points at the fact that many "defenders of science" make the ontological commitment of materialism, assuming that this is implied by science, when it most definitely is not. But again, this realization requires education (or self-education) in topics that are currently discarded because they do not help you pay the mortgage.

former, son of family of farmers...

It is more than that

When you over produce crops you tend to plant them in narrow rows which overloads the soil hence the need to use fertilizer. Note, it's been this way since the 1940s in USA and Europe.

Or in short words we are not being effective in feeding the world and are wasting efforts on capitalistic goofs rather then using more effective solutions.

Native American Indians used a technique borrowed from South American Indians where they refused to do monoculture, instead they grew 3 to 4 crops in the same field.

If we want the future world to starve we will stay on Monoculture.

If we want to save the planet then we need to move away from Monoculture.

The comparison comes because they're trying to draw conclusions about the effects of large sauropods on the prehistoric environment from modern experience with mechanized agriculture.

"As the total weight of modern harvesters is now approaching that of the largest animals that walked Earth, the sauropods, a paradox emerges of potential prehistoric subsoil compaction. We hypothesize that unconstrained roaming of sauropods would have had similar adverse effects on land productivity as modern farm vehicles, suggesting that ecological strategies for reducing subsoil compaction, including fixed foraging trails, must have guided these prehistoric giants."

> We tried with a very low-price plan and got a lot of interest & signups. The moment we raised the prices a bit to cover hosting costs, the interest went away.

I have to correct my partner here as his memory is a bit fuzzy. :) We tried a low tier price ($15/m vs regular $49/m) but it did not make any significant difference in signups.

We targeted the high-end of the WordPress market where we competed against Kinsta, WP Engine, Flywheel etc. And the problem there was they were "good enough" (and in some ways muhc better) as I mention in the blog post.

At the same time, the lowend SiteGround had prices below $5/m so we couldn't compete against them in that segment as we were paying more than that to Google Cloud.
> he kickstarted (in the minds of consumers) at least three industries

In reality he didn't.
As I understand it (and I don't understand it, I'm not source of authority here) the tractors don't need to work day and night, they need to work during the important planting and harvesting seasons. That happens to be the same time that your neighbour wants to do it. Efficiency is key here so that one harvester can work several farms 24/7, for a limited period of time.

As you outlined, uptime is critical during these periods. I spent a lot of my time in remote locations, and reliability trumps everything. The cost of a hotshot is significant - however I was far more remote than the farms where.

Paying a person to drive the tractor doesn't seem like it's the large cost. It's the machinery you need 1x per year, at the same time everyone else does.

Ask HN: Is there a mountain pick view concept in Reinforcement Learning?
When I am in the wild forest I climb to a mountain to have a better view of the landscape to choose the best path. I wonder if there is a similar concept in RL.

Intuitively, a mountain pick view in RL should be a parameter point in which one iteration of the algorithm produces a result similar to several steps of the algorithm in points (parameter space) at greater distance from the foot of the pick. So the mountain view depends of the algorithm and encoding used. The height of the mountain should be a quotient between velocity of convergence of the algorithm at the pick (parameter space) and in points (parameter space) at distance d. So that velocity of convergence to goal increases when the distance tends to zero. That is the mountain pick projection in the parameter space is a stable (not thin) source of knowlege. One could say that this is similar to finding a dominating strategy or using a branching cutting algorithm.

Some ideas:

The resistance of soil to compaction is totally different in a forest with mighty trees and roots, where these beasts presumably roamed, and a barren field of dirt.

And secondly, 'sustainable' to a heart of wild beasts does not mean harvest every year - maybe the heard comes back in 20 years when soil has recovered.

Lastly, maybe they wheren't sustainable, after all they are extinct.
