To add to your point I think the competitiveness will increase over time with further technology innovation. Cloud providers are constantly adding features and trying to catch up with each other. New entrants are adding novel competitive dynamics as well (e.g. Cloudflare or Deno Deploy).

The cloud market is so large ($ TAM; also growing rapidly) I think there will always be a tailwind of investment and innovation that prevents monopolistic stagnation.
When it's ready to be salvaged, he can go back. Meantime, as long as they win elections, they won't see any reason to be salvaged.

This may come down to him in a few months. There is a decent chance that the November elections will be 51 Republicans to 49 Democrats. Romney will have his choice of putting Mitch McConnell in charge, or jumping parties (cf Arlen Specter).

I would put it to him that, even if he could rein in the worst abuses, it will nonetheless bolster the party's self-image as successful in elections. That will be seen at every level as affirming all of their policies.

The problem, I believe, is that it's not about the "insanity of Trump". Trump took advantage of a party that had become insane, taking advantage of fervently held opinions and a number of thumbs on the electoral scale in their favor.

It seems to me that his best hope for fixing things would be to cause them to lose elections until they beg him to return and help fix things. I, as a Democrat, would not feel the least hard feelings were he to jump ship back. And that's not just short-term-thinking of being happy to win a few elections, but the much longer-term hope of no longer having to choose between "the delusional party" and the "at least we're not the delusional party" party. And worse, the fact that this decision appears to be a toss-up at best.
Under the section "Tropical climate needs" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house#Tropical_climate...

> Passive cooling, solar air conditioning, and other solutions in passive solar building design need to be studied to adapt the Passive house concept for use in more regions of the world.

> There is a certified Passive House in the hot and humid climate of Lafayette, Louisiana, USA, which uses energy recovery ventilation and an efficient one ton air-conditioner to provide cooling and dehumidification.

Earlier, "In August 2010, there were approximately 25,000 such certified structures of all types in Europe. The vast majority of passive structures have been built in German-speaking countries and Scandinavia."
Ask HN: Why are some domains 3 figures and others are 6?
I was looking at sedo and noticed that the domain qi.co was going for “low six figures”, while the domain qi.do was just under $1k. I picked up the latter for my project, but I’m curious why the massive gap. I understand that .co is seen as premium over the DR’s domain but why I’m curious about discrepancy since consumers will likely not see it much different.

> as complete an awareness as possible of the present

Who and how defines the level of completeness of the awareness?

That’s the whole point.

If i buy into some teaching telling me that my awareness is not complete - I’m on the hook that same moment and have something to fight for.

But why can’t i buy the idea that Im already complete since it’s anyway a subjective matter by definiTion?

In such case - there is no a single objective reason for the meditation industry to exist for me or any person who didn’t buy into that original assumption.

I'm not unsympathetic to that position, but I think it's ill advised to take it as far as "Functor means functor up to Eq". I grant that showTree in particular is a debug function that will usually be called at the end of any meaningful computation, and handwaving it in particular away is probably fine. I don't think we can say the same of something like splitRoot, which instead breaks the abstraction for the sake of efficiency.

> You have to know of what you're talking.

And the language (/ecosystem) gives you no way of specifying, so we have to be somewhat conservative. I've actually been thinking (partly driven by trains of thought such as under discussion here) that it might be very interesting to have a language that let you reason explicitly about different sorts of equality (tentatively defined, in the context of the language, as indistinguishability relative to some interface).

Maybe this is true for public cloud pricing but it hasnt been true for some time when it comes to enterprises on cloud. Large enterprises come in and ask for a quote for X cpus/ram/storage over X years. They sign a multi year contract with a guaranteed minimum spend, and a discount on every line item. Then they "lift and shift" their physical data center into a cloud region, in a very static way (no autoscaling etc).

This works great for everyone, the hyperscalars have much lower costs than even the biggest enterprise customers so the company get a good deal. And the cloud company makes some revenue off the minimum spend (making capacity planning a lot easier) and they know once the compute and storage there it will be very likely the company starts using extra managed services.
What I see, as a web dev, is that finally Apple will have to keep Safari/iOS up-to-date with Safari/macOS, and that in turn up-to-date with all other browsers. I.e., they will no longer be able to artificially hamstring the web in order to prevent web apps from competing with their App Store.

They certainly have the money to keep pace with Chrome, and I certainly don't want to put up banners saying "works best in [anything but Safari]", which has been the case for many years now.

I would love for this to be good, but I'm afraid it's going to follow in the footsteps of "The Shannara Chronicles". I read every single one of the "Shannara" books as well as the sub-series (Word & Void, etc.) but I watched 2 episodes of Chronicles and couldn't stand it.

I don't know if it's because I had a whole look and feel for the characters in my mind's eye and the show didn't reflect that. Or maybe it was because they told a story that was similar to the books but not quite the same. Or maybe it was bad CGI and writing. Whatever it was, the show just didn't sit right with me. This LOTR series feels very similar.
> Intelligence is the ability to achieve goals

A more precise definition by François Chollet: The intelligence of a system is a measure of its skill-acquisition efficiency over a scope of tasks, with respect to priors, experience, and generalization difficulty

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.01547.pdf

So a system is more intelligent if it can solve harder tasks with fewer trials and prior knowledge. Intelligence is always defined over a scope of tasks, for example human intelligence only applies to the space of tasks and domains that fit within the human experience. Our intelligence does not have extreme generalization even though we have broad generalization (defined as adaptation to unknown unknowns across a broad category of related tasks).

> how much does it cost to run the App Store globally? Do have the numbers?

I think that anyone who thought about this for even a second would come to the conclusion of "It almost certainly doesn't cost anywhere near the amount of revenue that comes from it".

So the answer is, probably not a lot, compared to revenue.
I want to see these actually being implemented in current software ASAP (layered with traditional crypto). As-is it's possible to capture encrypted traffic out of the air, store it for however many decades are needed, and then decrypt it in future.

Even with your dishwasher you still need to load plates and unload them constantly and even though its easier than washing by hand, I doubt you look forward to that particular activity out of all the others you do in your life. If its anything like the dishwashers landlords have provided me in the past you will probably have to wash the plates by hand anyhow. Dishwashing isn't the only mundane activity you need to do in life as a human. Its part of life that we do these things, and the sooner you get over yourself to doing them the easier it is to get things done.
Agreed, but search results are manipulated by posters a lot now, totally spammed with wildly inaccurate clickbait. It's getting a lot harder to find authentic music by original creators.

Working in high-performance composites, this is fantastic work!

It never ceases to amaze me how some of the oldest technology was composites, and how much we can do with even basic materials - it doesn't have to be carbon fiber and epoxy to get great results, in this case linen and rabbit glue makes really effective and lightweight armor.

Sort of related, the Mongol's archery bows from Genghis Khan's time were also amazing pieces of engineering available materials into high-performing tools.

It's not exactly the same - the energy of solar rays is higher, but the residual momentum is a problem. Most of the available energy is needed to conserve momentum in the final product, unlike the LHC which collides two particles moving in opposite directions, leaving all kinetic energy available.
I have dealt with a large number of retail colo providers, wholesale data center providers and corporate owned data centers across the US over the last 20 years and all of them used contractors for HVAC and electrical. I'm not saying dedicated staff never happens but it is definitely not the norm.
How much is a fair amount? Who decides that and how?
Assuming you're doing dedicated machines for services. My company runs on-prem with a big cluster scheduler & maintains headroom in it; small deployments of new services and modest scale-ups of existing services don't require explicit capacity requests. Only if you're going to provision a huge number of instances do you need to wait for infra to buy machines. Which also requires advance planning with the "elastic" cloud anyway.
In his seminal paper A Relational Model of Data for
Large Shared Data Banks, Codd explicitly mentions first-order predicate calculus as a suitable formalism for the sub-language. Quoting from https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/362384.362685:

"The adoption of a relational model of data, as described above, permits the development of a universal data sub-language based on an applied predicate calculus. A first-order predicate calculus suffices if the collection of relationships is in normal form."

One great advantage of using Prolog is that queries themselves are so readily amenable to analysis and reasoning with the same mechanism, and it becomes very easy to optimize them by reordering goals.
Am ScyllaDB but Marc did completely independent work.
The client vcpus don't matter that much, the experiment compares
the server side, the client shouldn't suck.
When we test ScyllaDB or other DBs, we run benchmarks for hours and days. This is just a stateless, static http daemon, so short timing is reasonable.

The whole intent is to make it a learning experience, if you wish to reproduce, try it yourself. It's aligned with past measurements of ours and also with former Linux optimizations by Marc.

2. Controllers, like views and model(s) are roles, not components. These roles can be filled by the same objects.

3. So people not agreeing where things go is perfectly compatible with MVC, and thinking that's a problem is a symptom of not understanding MVC.

I'm 100% confident that if Apple told EU they were complying with the new law, with a system where you either have to run only sideloaded apps or only official App Store apps at any given time, but could reboot from one to the other, the EU would say "very funny, here's your fine".

Does 'quantum-resistant' also imply 'P=NP' resistant?
> Is it the case that a given particle is trying to settle into a "lowest energy state" possible?

It's more accurate to think of the energy "spreading out" (remember that mass is a form of energy too, since E=mc^2). The energy can rearrange (subject to conservation laws), between being one massive particle, or several lighter ones (in fact there's a superposition of possibilities, because quantum).

In principle the probability of switching back-and-forth is equal, e.g. the probability of particle A decaying into a B+C pair, is identical to the probability of a B+C collision producing an A. However, most of the directions those light particles can take will result in them flying apart rather than colliding; that spreads out the energy, so it can no longer switch back into the massive particle configuration.

Note that this is essentially the first and second laws of thermodynamics (energy is conserved, and concentrations tend to "spread out" over time)
Especially since, in the words of many a Supreme Court candidate, "Roe is settled law."

Breaking from the News
... and did you see Nicole Kidman in Aquaman? Sometimes CGI "help" hits the uncanny valley instead.
There is a comment from the author in response to someone that I found fascinating, and I am quoting here to respond to:

> We found that even more of a threat than rain was one’s own sweat on a hot day. So, yes, it does need waterproofing, both inside and out. We did a number of experiments along those lines, and found that rubbing a block of beeswax over all sides of the armor provided nice waterproofing. It also makes the armor smell nice! When you wear it for a couple hours, your own body heat softens the glue a bit and makes it conform to your body shape, so it is much more comfortable to wear than rigid types of armor. Our reconstructions weighed about 10 pounds–about one third the weight of bronze armor that would provide the same degree of protection. Thanks for the questions!

It would explain to some degree why this armor may have found such military success during that time period, that it was more comfortably and more closely conformed to the body while offering similar protections. One of the things many people who've never had to wear armor for an extended period of time on a hot day don't realize is how horribly uncomfortable armor is, and how that discomfort can be a severe distraction under battlefield conditions.

One thing that also interested me about this is that we found that one of the strongest materials we have available to use in modern materials science is also laminated cloth, in this case carbon fiber laminates. By ensuring that the direction of the weaves are perpendicular to one another when doing a cloth layup, and using a sufficiently strong adhesive/sealant, these types of materials are incredibly strong. Carbon fiber and carbon kevlar both are exceptionally strong materials that would make great armor (and do), and it seems the linothorax is essentially an early application of some of the same ideas, with lesser source materials.
> You can still get surprised by query optimizations on relatively simple joins just changing query strategy when hitting tuning parameters.

I imagine there is a large bias about caring or not about this depending on what DBMS you are used to.

It just happens that on some DBMS you get "surprised" as "oh, shit, this problem again", and on others it usually comes as a surprise as "wait, I never thought about optimizer limits". The second set is much more prone to automating.
