The difference is that in Silicon Valley you can just promise the stars themselves and gamblers start throwing money at you. Web3 might not be a real thing, but the addiction is. It's like an MLM, the product hardly matters if you can sell it as an opportunity.
Unfortunately it's not an opportunity for most people.

Good for India for creating some actual open banking innovation here that scales both in performance and cost.

Investors have thrown trillions into the crypto shit show that still can't scale to more than a couple thousand people with transactions that cost like $15. A failure if there ever was one, but the people pushing it don't exactly care about reality.

I went to BER 1 month after opening.

My terminal looked and felt like a prefab chicken coop.
Lyme disease is spreading northward, areas that would have never thought about it 20 years ago need to exercise caution when hiking on uncleared paths (or when diagnosing patients), but the awareness isn't that huge right now.
It took years for me to be diagnosed with thalassemia when my GP found some of my blood results suspicious. Got treated for anaemia a few times before, and was refused for blood donations as well without being able to explain what was wrong. My blood tests said "anaemia", but my life experience said "all seems ok to me...?" - luckily I have a mild form, I just need to watch my diet a bit.

My dad also found out through my diagnosis why he kept getting those same signs in his tests... :) Eastern European medical system at its finest.

Oh and the other difference between this and Napkin is that this is stateful. Return something from the reducer to store a new state object
Not disagreeing but presenting a hypothetical:

If the user requests the page from Internet Archive, Common Crawl or even Google Cache, how does the ISP know what the user requested. (NB. Neither IA nor Google Cache require sending SNI,^1 so the ISP may only see IP addresses).

With IA, the IP address alone does not reveal which IA site or page the user is requesting. There is more to IA than only Wayback Machine.

With Common Crawl, the user can send the Cloudfront domain name instead of a commoncrawl.org domain. Are all ISPs going to know that this is Common Crawl. Even if they expend the effort to learn, what benefit is achieved.

With Google Cache, the IP address alone does not reveal which Google site the user is accessing. Needless to say, there are many, many domains using these IP addresses.

There is nothing that requires any web user to retrieve web pages from a given host. The page may be mirrored at a number of hosts. Some of those hosts might offer HTTPS, support TLS1.3 and not require plaintext SNI/offer encrypted ClientHello.

Even assuming an ISP can determine what domain name a customer is sending in a Host header or ClientHello packet, it would still be necessary to subpoena the archive/CDN/cache to figure out precisely what pages were being requested.

1. The same party is controlling all the server certificates. IA controls the certificates for all IA domains, Amazon (issues and) controls all the certificates for Cloudfront customers and Google controls all the certificates for Google domains. Perhaps there are web users commenting on HN who believe that ingress/egress traffic for site saved/hosted/cached at an archive/CDN/cache is somehow private as against the company running the archive/CDN/cache in a meaningful way. I am not one of them.

As for the question of an ISP modifying the contents of web pages, this is an issue that could be addressed contractually in a subscriber agreement. It stands to reason that if this was a serious issue and not merely a hypothetical one raised by nerds debating the merits of TLS then it would be addressed in such agreements.

As for the "injection of advertising" issue as a argument in favour of the way TLS^2 is being administered on the web, IMO this is a bit silly since (a) it is trivial to filter such advertising (e.g., Javascript in the examples I saw) out out of the page and/or block it from running/connecting/loading and (b) the amount of "tech" company-mediated advertising that web users endure in spite of using TLS is enormous. More likely than being seen as a threat to web users, the injection of advertising by ISPs was seen as a threat to the advertising revenue of "tech" companies. The later are responsible for facilitating the injection of advertising (by their customers, not their competitors, i.e., ISPs), not preventing it.

2. By "TLS administration" I do not mean encryption as a concept nor certificates as a concept. I mean TLS administration measures designed to support "tech" companies first and web users second, if at all. A system where the questions of "threat model" and "trust" are both decided by "tech" companies not users.
>> Or maybe I'm wrong and somebody comes up with an easy and cost effective way to store significant amounts of hydrogen

>We already do it for natural gas (LNG), we just need to build similar infrastructure for LH2.

That doesn't address the "easy and cost effective" part. Current estimates say that the energy required is 30% of the energy value of the hydrogen itself.

>But whereas liquefying natural gas only requires temperatures of -160°C, to liquefy hydrogen you need refrigeration systems capable of getting down to -253°C. That is an expensive proposition. Using current technologies the energy required is 30% of that in the hydrogen being liquefied.

Thanks a ton for that feedback! I absolutely did not realise how that sounded. We definitely don’t aim to blindside early adopters with a sudden pay-us-or-you-lose-data deadline.

The plan is that anything you do right now you’ll ALWAYS have access to, and at some point (not before December 2022) we begin charging a subscription to begin saving data to new documents. New users post that deadline will have a threshold of documents that they can use the product on for free.

If free and paid tiers are what you absolutely need, please drop me a mail! Would hate to have an early user disappear because we’re still figuring out exact pricing strategies.
> Of course MAGA country is a laggard so this will probably take another 5-10 years to become adopted after it becomes the norm in the left cities->suburbs>rural.

Perfect example of an unnecessary vile comment.

Most rural people already reuse and repurpose many things, they don’t have trash pick every week if at all and like to have a clean area for their children and grandchildren. It’s in their blood to find innovative ways to use something again in a different way. Your hate is coming from somewhere gross and you should consider some introspection on why you have so much of it in your heart.

So by "Sequoia will invest $1M in the form of equity to participating companies at the start of the program." Does this mean companies will receive an investment of $1M in cash? Not sure why it would say "in the form of equity" for a standard convertible note type investment.
I once spent some time in Berlin train station waiting for a long-distance train. it seemed like the layout of the entire train station had been rearranged without changing any of the sign posts. it was like a quite mundane nightmare
> But in my working reality, testing/building is a non-linear process that is iteratively run after some certain self-determined point-in-time.

That’s not actually involved here. The actual process of coding can take place on a separate standalone project or even a whiteboard. But somehow all that code and everything associated with it needs to be packaged up for the team or it’s never making it to production. Further your process needs to minimally interrupt other team members or team efficiency tanks.

How that’s done is up to the team but it needs to happen somehow and automation avoids headaches. I briefly worked on a project where we kept passing around updates to a VM, slow and bandwidth intensive but it did actually work.

> "Production is, or should be deployable all the time,"

That’s a separate question. I am saying the code should be bundled with any needed environment configuration required to run that code. CI is a direct test of the process.

> In no setup, do I think it's ever safe to take away the developer's agency and let some other process keep my local machine in "sync." There are so many variables to account for that some daemon/service can't be aware of, to allow for automatic updating (and again automatic updating != user running `git fetch`).

Capacity is not a requirement.

For developers it’s about being able to hit a big red button and get your local environment working rather than something you automatically do day to day. Onboarding, or coming back after 3 months on another project, etc shouldn’t involve someone trying to piece together all the little environment changes that people need to apply since the last time someone updated the onboarding document.

In practice you might be reading a diff of some script and just apply that manually. But at least the sharing process is automated.
I don't know. I'd guess reach. Probably wouldn't be on HN if it were darknet only.
I'll give it another look. Thanks for your considerate reply!
I'm actively working on a startup focusing on this (while doing startup school this month). For now I'm focusing on the melody generation, as to me that seems to be the area most lacking in AI-generated music, yet what I find the most interesting to work with and explore as a composer.

That said, I don't have anything to show yet... Only got a landing page at https://tunesage.com at the moment... but here's an ancient prototype writing very generic melodies just to prove I'm trying... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cwEaiwEZfU

Regardless of my personal eventual success or failure in the endeavour, the field does seem to be ripe for innovation! Nothing out there at the moment (that I've seen at least) seems to satisfy my current desires as a composer.
Book metadata is widely available via sites like e.g. Open Library. With good metadata, full text search is not as relevant.
I love that europe is taking action, but i still have a huge concern that, according to the article, those that are giving the orders in brussels haven’t been elected in any remotely understandable way. Ursula has never ran a campaign for the position she’s in, no EU citizen knew or cared about her until the covid crisis, and we still have no idea what her political orientation is regarding a lot of socio-economical topics.

I don’t think that situation can last much longer, unless we’re ready to give ground to the anti-EU fantasy of the union turning into some kind of techno-fascist regime. The scale of the measures she’s been involved with those past 2 years are beyond anything acceptable for any reasonable democracy.
>This statement is kind of funny when the right you're referring to was invented (right or wrong) by a group of unelected judges, and is now open to be legislated on by the citizens you want input from.

No.

Humans (and that includes women) have agency. That includes bodily autonomy and any "law" that restricts that is unethical, misogynistic and flat wrong.

Don't like abortion? Don't have one. As far as anyone else is concerned it's none of your concern.

People have mixed up leery and wary and it has memetically become ‘weary’.

I notice it more and more too.
It's certainly worth checking B12 levels properly. It's quite hard to be B12 deficient and a common reason to be so is due to being unable to absorb it properly in the digestive system (I think this is quite common with celiac disease, for example). That's why injections are a common approach. I went with sublingual administration instead and it worked very well.

Methanol is actually one of the oldest liquid rocket fuels, dating to WW2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Stoff

I don't think it's a very good rocket fuel (it's already partly oxidized, for a start). Clark's Ignition says Nazi wartime shortages were the reason for its addition to C-Stoff -- I'll quote page 13:

- "But peroxide is not only a monopropellant, it's also a pretty good oxidizer. And Walter worked out a fuel for it that he called "C-Stoff." (The peroxide itself was called "T-Stoff.") Hydrazine hydrate, N2H4-H2O ignited spontaneously when it came in contact with peroxide (Walter was probably the first propellant man to discover such a phenomenon) and C-Stoff consisted of 30 percent hydrazine hydrate, 57 of methanol, and 13 of water, plus thirty milligrams per liter of copper as potassium cuprocyanide, to act as an ignition and combustion catalyst. The reason for the methanol and the water was the fact that hydrazine hydrate was hard to come by — so hard, in fact, that by the end of the war its percentage in C-Stoff was down to fifteen."
When I joined Google in late 2005, I had the idea of asking every famous visitor the same question, and someday editing them all together into a video on that subject. It had to be a question where they did NOT have a pat answer all focus-group-tested and ready, not a hot button or culture war question, and yet demand some real thought.

The question was "It's often said that the U.S. won the Cold War. Do you agree or disagree, and why?"

I asked it of Michael Kinsley, Strobe Talbott, and Bernard Henri-Lévy. You'll have to watch the YouTube videos to find it. I remember Kinsley immediately got all political and said that Reagan didn't deserve the credit.

For some reason, I stopped. I don't know why. It would have been fun to ask Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift, for instance.

Eventually, the guests would have gotten wise to it and had an answer ready.
Makes me wonder if there is a part of the brain thats actually responsible for reconfiguring/responding to abnormal situations.
> I’m assuming it’s somewhat justified.

in a sense, yes.
People claiming software based solutions can match performance of hardware basic ASIC's are simply not thinking about the scale and speeds of modern core routers and switches.

For instance, taken from the blog of ivan pepaljnak[0]
> It’s hard to imagine how fast switching ASICs have to work – a modern data center switching ASIC can forward billions of packets per second. For example, the throughput of Broadcom Tomahawk 31 is 12.8 Tbps, and it can switch 8 billion packets per second, or 8 packets every nanosecond.

Another thing which makes routing at large scales with large traffic flows expensive is the separation of the control and data plane. most modern datacenter routers can continue forwarding traffic inside the ASIC while its control plane encounters a failure. (usually for a few 100ms to a second, after that the forwarding table will become stale, and this cannot be refreshed without a control plane).

Having a redundant control plane isn't that expensive, but it becomes harder and harder to keep this failover fast enough if your forwarding plane is pushing more and more individual traffic flows.

Then there are still other items which one can add to a modern router to make it do more but also cost more. (think about accelerated IPsec encryption, MACsec at line rate or DWDM functionality).

Thanks for doing the numbers, it’s interesting that in 50 years people are predicting annual TW installs of global solar capacity. So maybe a technology for the future if storage and distribution gets solved.

How would the appeal of streamers and live data/content settle out in that case? Sometimes context is available in the moment that makes it easier for all parties to consume and analyze in that moment as well.

Since transient, ethereal meme culture is also basically emergent culture now, it's difficult not to also foresee a greater cultural divide in such a case. This is saying nothing of live data tools as well, even weather data...

Without any proof, all you're saying means nothing. Fuchsia is, at this moment, nearer extinction than mass adoption.
Idk. Data point of me: I’ve kept up with other review apps that don’t have the streak counter longer. But obviously there’s a lot of confounding factors.
Except none of that matters, Solar Irradiance has very little to do with actual photosynthesis. You are measuring Watt's as a pure energy source, that's useless in this case. Photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD's) are what's important, that's the amount of light wavelengths that the plant needs to absorb to power photosynthesis. Here is a definition from another source, I'll post the link at the bottom:

PPFD is a measure of photosynthetic active radiation, PAR for short. PAR is not a measure of anything itself but is more of a description. PAR light is all the visible wavelengths of light which cause photosynthesis, found within the 400-700 nanometer range. PPFD is a ‘spot’ measurement that tells you how many photons from the PAR range hit a specific area of your canopy over time. It is expressed as micro moles per square meter per second (μmol/m2/s). For this reason, PPFD is the most accurate measure of light power. First, unlike other measures, it considers the entire spectrum of light that plants see. PPFD also takes into account the amount of light that will actually reach the plant instead of focusing only on the point of origin. A light source can be very bright and powerful, but if it is too away from the plant, or obstructed in some way, the plant won’t be getting all the light it needs for photosynthesis. PPFD controls for this kind of inaccuracy.

With LED's you can place the plants much closer to the light source and control the color spectrum along with the obstructions 24/7. It allows you to grow indoors at an extremely efficient rate. Your formula has almost nothing to do with indoor farming.

Quick summary: PPFD measures the amount of light wavelengths that the plant captures that kicks off the chemical reaction of Chlorophyll. Red and Blue lights are the vast majority of wavelengths that interact with Chlorophyll. That's a major reason why the solar irradiance measure of pure Wattage is irrelevant.
Its the language itself. Easy to understand and use, and does a great job at manipulating browser elements and web centric data formats such as json. Anyone can pick up js and write a library, and to an extent thats what happens - everyone and their cat writes a js library that does what an existing library already does but marginally different. Or they fork an existing repo, throw in a new name, change a few files here and there and call it an “alternative”. Js is easy once you get it right.

how are you going to keep this counter? Do you identify the bytes that are processed in individual flows? Which system will keep track of this? the control plane of the router maybe? great... you just added additional complexity instead of just pushing packets through a forwarding plane.
This gets repeated in every thread about front-end tech, and every time people have to repeat the same explanation. SSR is not PHP. SSR allows you to run the same code on client and server. You get to use client-side frameworks, but the page is rendered before it even reaches the client.

If people could try to understand SSR before diminishing it, we could have much more productive discussions. But as of now the frequency of these uninformed comments makes me feel like people who are ignorant about front-end, are somehow proud of their ignorance.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. There are so many basic fundamental things wrong there...

A UI framework should at least get some of the very basic things correct with out of the box defaults. Bootstrap, for example, largely gets this right. You can slap something together and it at least looks vaguely cohesive. The screenshot you posted, should have taken somebody a lot of effort to demonstrate how a UI should NOT look. It's a visual version of a new HTML form framework where the labels aren't clickable...
I think too that the name shouldn't be used.
What's the CO2 output by the concrete used to build the building that houses the farm?
No, this is neither common nor acceptable.
What prevents you having a direct real experience of God (call it what you will) is the crap that goes on in your mind. An analogy is to think of God as pure silence and the incessant mind chatter as constant noise. You need to remove the noise to hear the silence. The problem is doing that ain't easy.

The purpose of the external world is for you to do your karma. You can only be born if you have karma to fulfill. From that you gain experience and grow. But it is a meaningless distraction. The path of the return to God is about mastering what happens between your ears. The external world doesn't actually matter, it is an imposed regimen.
Are you able to achieve a 10000x efficiency improvement vs natural photosynthesis by using those technologies? If not, the idea is still completely unfeasible.
