No, those layers are not to help it scale.

Those layers are different levels of abstraction that actually sit on top of one another, but encompass the lower layers.

e.g. HTTP, SMTP, POP3, etc., all sit on top of TCP — that is to say: all of those protocols actually use TCP, they are TCP, they are all made from TCP packets/communications.

TCP sits on top of IP, that is to say: all TCP packets are in fact IP packets.

They are layers of abstraction, and each layer of abstraction is not just 'related' to the lower layer(s), or 'referencing' the lower layer(s) once in a while, each of those upper layers is in fact an instance of the lower layer.

At the bottom, it's all IP. The higher layers aren't substitutes for IP that get turned into IP when necessary, they are all IP.

If your comparison was valid, then protocols such as e.g. HTTP wouldn't actually be valid TCP packets and valid IP packets, instead HTTP would be completely separate to the lower levels it is built upon, and at some point it would be converted back and forth to the other protocols. Which is not what happens.

If your comparison was valid, then all L2 cryptotoken transactions would actually simultaneously /be/ blockchain transactions — and not just written back to it periodically.

Edit:

Here's an analogy: it's like IP protocol is letters, those letters can be grouped into words, which is the next layer up, e.g. TCP, UDP, etc., and those words can be grouped into sentences, which are like the higher level protocols, such as HTTP, SMTP, POP3, etc.

Granted, the OSI model also includes lower levels, and I'm only discussing three higher layers, but the principle is the same. The higher levels /encompass/ the lower ones, they are actually built /with/ or /from/ the lower-level components. This isn't how Lighting works. It's a separate distinct network to the main blockchain, and it then writes back to blockchain.

I'm curious why you think deploying some of these fabrics would change the pH of the ocean? There are geological processes which replenish dissolved uranium in the ocean per the article I linked. I haven't seen any particular waste or sustainability concerns. The nice thing about uranium is that it's so incredibly energy dense that you don't really need to pull out all that much. I'm not ready to be so defeatist.

I defer to the researcher.

> "We have chemically modified regular, inexpensive yarn, to convert it into an adsorbent which is selective for uranium, efficient and reusable," said Chien Wai, president of LCW Supercritical Technologies. "PNNL's capabilities in evaluating and testing the material, have been invaluable in moving this technology forward."

Fusion has been a couple of decades along for decades. It's pretty much always been 20 years away. I do think it's a bit of a pipe dream. We need it now if it's to be of any use for us. If it takes us nearly another century to get there (that's how long we've been working at it), it's far too late to be of any sort of help.
engines like Unity and Godot encourage you to organize your conceptual model of your game in their scene/node and component systems. if this is the only way you learn to make games, you will only ever think about things in these high-level, abstracted terms, instead of thinking about what the computer is really doing, thinking about what you want the computer to do, and thinking about how simple you could make things if you didn't force yourself to use such systems inherent to these engines.

I couldn't agree more with this. If one were to truly solve this problem they'd have to do several things:

1. Understand who the listener is, and what they care about. What are their reinforcers, and attractors? What are the things they want to achieve that they haven't been able to so far. What is relevant information for them? What is their state of mind? Are they tired? Do they need to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom?

2. Understand the information content of the speech. A person can say a lot in a little time or a little in a lot of time (with the dependencies being questions listed above in #1. What is a 'little' for someone might be 'a lot' for someone else depending on how much they know).

My concern with an app like this is multi-fold. Firstly, I have some very smart friends who read a lot and talk for hours but I never tire of it because they're always saying something new and interesting. Secondly, sometimes these friends are working out thoughts on the fly that they haven't before. Stopping before the thought is complete risks losing hidden gems, maxims/aphorisms, well-articulated and profound crystallizations of thought. A ticking time-bomb clock adds pressure to end this line of thought that may need time to manifest itself fully.

That being said I totally see the flip side, that it can go on for too long, but I'd point back to all the concerns in #1.
@jayd16 No, they have dropped the Mono runtime for many cases (which causes some of the problems). The language itself is simply much less pleasurable to program in than Swift, and performs worse in key areas.
> It’s good to have an open mind.

Is it? That's the very basis for error that begat this article. In fact, Turing's and Kahneman's minds were too open. They didn't express sufficient reservation by demanding more rigorous tests of those claims.

Perhaps a better maxim would be, "It's good to have a mind that's open just enough to entertain the impossible."
ECS on its own doesn't always help - it's not a magic bullet for every situation: sometimes you need to use spatially-aware data structures / acceleration structures for those type of "queries", and vanilla ECS (i.e. similar to a DB in terms of queries) doesn't always help you in these type of situations.

Tape (~$6/TB) is cheaper than archival storage (~$14/TB) but I'm not sure it's worth the cost of having another "offline" system that needs robots or humans in order to access for rebuilds, maintenance, verification etc.

I'm surprised by how magnetic storage continues to decline in price as densities continue to increase. I wonder where the end actually is.

Probably makes more sense to incentivize residential batteries that can help take the strain.

The batteries can charge when there's a surplus of power on the grid, and then absorb the load when everyone turns on the heat/AC at the same time.
What do you do with your salary in the end of month? I bet you invest part of it. Why do you do that? Are you an investor? Do you think you have enough information to beat the market?

I imagine you don't. You probably invest because you don't want to lose your purchasing power. That's all. This is what fiat system makes us do.

I just want a currency that doesn't push me to have to invest my money all the time only to keep my monetary power. That's it. Simple as that.
If Slack/Discord/etc. custom emojis get used enough, do they get incorporated into Unicode? I've seen something like 40 variants of laughing emoji, and closer to 400 variants of Pepe the Frog, and I'm not even in any "alt right" or 4chan-adjacent chat rooms/guilds where I imagine there are even more. Not to mention the countless custom anime face ones.
In other words, housing prices are below market rate.

If you're looking for a job at a company that highly values writing, please send me your resume! cweber [at] thelabnyc [dot] com.

We're a digital agency based in NYC, looking to hire a Sr. level engineer either on-site or remote within the US. Over the past few years we've really gotten serious about technical writing, especially around requirements gathering/documentation. We now strive to treat documentation as just as important as code—meaning a feature's requirements get written and code-reviewed via merge request _before_ implementation work begins.

So, if you're looking for a place that asynchronous discussion and written communication, you'd fit right in.
Right, only that one proved this theory of yours — not the other 3000 competitors just like it, by your metric
imo i would add to your docs more details around what to do when you ex. update a relationship but fail to persist a zedtoken, or at least the options and what the ramifications are. these are things that people may not truly reason through and your team has the most context on how these decisions can affect user experience.
Interesting to see another project open sourced around Google Zanzibar. On a timeline for context:

- Ory came out first with Ory Keto ( https://github.com/ory/keto ) which is trying to be a close adaptation of the paper. Initially, many concepts were missing but they are making a lot of progress with the DSL and it interfaces with the rest of Ory (OAuth2, User Mangement)

- Authzed came out as a SaaS only, open sorucing the code base later on at https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

- Auth0 has been playing around with Zanzibar concepts in various forms and published a beta service at https://dashboard.fga.dev - apparently now also open source parts of it similar to what Authzed did: https://github.com/openfga

- Permify - who on a side note spammed me quite a lot with outreach because I was active in these communities - joins as well https://github.com/Permify/permify

It's exciting to see so much movement, yet also sad that so many companies are brewing their own beer instead of working collaborative on the more succesful projects. Feels like we'll just end up with one or two successful projects (looking at Ory / Auth0 here) with the rest perishing. I'm wondering if there truly is a business model for just this permission system as a saas service (looks like this is what everyone is going with). Here I'm giving Auth0 probably the biggest plus as they have an established identity service. Then again, Okta (parent of Auth0) and Auth0 themselves are not particularly known for good business practices that we usually expect from developer tooling.

What's refreshing though with Permify is that they are trying a bit of a different approach to Zanzibar!

> Gas prices are from day 1 decisions of the current president. The real fun will be when strategic reserve runs out.

That simply isn't true at all. The only thing of consequence that Biden did was prevent Albertan oil from more easily being exported to Latin America and Europe by cancelling the keystone pipeline expansion. At the same time, oil producing states were complaining that oil prices were so low that it didn't make sense to invest in production. Now that demand has picked up and Russian oil is off the table, prices are going up worldwide, not just in the USA. The USA's production hasn't changed much since the Trump administration, which hardly changed much since the Obama administration (which has been going down because oil-shale extraction costs couldn't be covered by the price of oil for much of the time).

Democrats are blamed when oil is too cheap (because red states depend on oil production jobs), they are also blamed when the price of oil is too high. I'm just going to buy an EV and ignore the whole issue, it isn't worth my time to worry about the price of gas when we don't really have to anymore.
I hate to detract from the Show HN post, but frankly, you have my attention. I'm taking a look at SpiceDB.
There is heat generated by the system, and heat generated by the power generation used to power the system. It’s definitely not a neutral system - that’d be thermodynamically impossible ( increasing entropy without external energy)
That's true, assuming I changed the temperature setting prior to the event, and I likely won't time it perfectly (nor would I want to).

Funnily enough, I've been writing my own Lisp in C recently. Interesting to see how it is done by someone skilled. The boxing of expression pointers into a single float is really cool.
You make some great points, thanks (side note: I love HN for conversations exactly like this one). You've won me over somewhat. As long as the support vendor isn't misrepresenting what they offer and how it differs from Red Hat, it doesn't seem nearly as unethical as it felt initially. I've only had experience with a handful of vendors, but all of them marketed themselves as "same support as Red Hat, 1/4 to 1/2 the price." I find that gross, but if it were "we'll help you setup and configure your machine" rather than "use us instead of Red Hat" I don't really have an issue with that.
personally I believe the most rational approach is to believe realistically and act optimistically. I believe whatever I think is most likely to be true, not what I want to be true. However in certain cases I may act as if what I wish were true is in fact true, just because it makes life better (doesn't apply to all scenarios though)
With room occupancy detection, it should start modeling likely HVAC needs - able to predict accordingly, and adjust power use & timing jitter accordingly.
It's a "leadership thing" because most good leaders have learned that it's useful to invite others to share their opinion before you do so yourself. Especially in more authority-style cultures, because you'll get better input that way. Then people aren't trying to just agree with whatever the person in a leadership role said.
Well personally I wasn't questioning the preference itself, I was curious about the purpose of the preference since I've seen people avoid JS/TS both because they don't like it and because it struggles to accomplish certain things. I was simply curious which it was (if either).

In Poland people have a neat life hack for that problem. They have other names for non-polish folk to use. Eg pawek, tomek, bartek rather than have people mangle their real name.

I too would love pledge() in Linux. But as I pretty much implied in this comment thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32097649) the project here won't get us there, and it does need to be part of the kernel.

Of course the problem is that it needs some cooperation between libc and the kernel. That's why it's easier for OpenBSD to provide it.

IMO if you're working on any non-trivial backend project, then you're already a "distributed systems engineer". Distributed systems problems are everywhere in the software world if you need to manage state and consistency across more than a single machine.

If you're asking how to work on interesting distributed systems, then I'd recommend trying to work at a tech company that is either large in and of itself (i.e. FAANG), or one that makes it's money solving distributed systems problems for others (i.e. Hashicorp, Snowflake, ...).

Either way, you can get a lot of value reading famous distributed systems papers, and building your own software projects that replicate the building blocks of these systems. For example: DNS, Gossip Failure Detector, Consensus (e.g. Raft), SQL Database, etc...
For our species. Fuck that.
The closest I came to this was using a PC AT clone to develop some software for a teacher at my school when I was in high school. (Unless you count using a PC today to develop for Arduino)

I thought the teacher had a PC clone so I wrote the first draft of the software in Turbo BASIC, but then I found out she had a CP/M machine but I wasn't fazed very much because there was a good Z80 emulator that ran on my machine so I was able to port the code to run under (I think) MBASIC or CBASIC in CP/M.

In this case I was using an emulator to run the same dev tools I would have used in CP/M, I just didn't have a CP/M machine. It ran considerably faster than any real Z-80 machine thanks to the power of a 12Mhz 286 with zero wait states.
> He isn't saying stuff them full of microtransactions and addictive behaviors.

I mean, he is talking about the importance of tuning "compulsion loops", whatever those are supposed to be.

Sounds to me, he isn't advocating addictive behaviours because he's already taking that point for granted.
For home computers, there's now "Windows S".[1] This is totally locked down.
