I don't have an apple arm device, I was waiting until I could run x86 vms reasonably efficiently, because I need that all the time. Up to now it seemed the answer was it's too slow if you want to use an x86 basically in a normal way with a vm. This article suggests rosetta2 would let you have usable performance, can someone provide the high level view? r2 was about 2/3 the speed of native exec on that last benchmark the article.
> Then apache decides to put new people on log4j, do a backward incompatible v2 design that nevertheless is worse than slf4j. Why?

Because the original Log4j author wanted to do his own thing for a Log4j successor (slf4j/logback), and the Apache Log4j maintainers also had ideas about a next-gen framework and wanted to do that.

That’s Open Source, everyone can do their own thing if they like, and some things will get adopted more than others. Log4j2 got the most adoption because they had the Log4j “brand” and the Apache backing and more company-backed(?) maintainers.

I don’t consider java.util.logging to be braindead. It can in principle be used as a logging facade like slf4j, but not too many do that, and Log4j 1 had come first and kept that momentum.

The real mistake was for Java to not have a standard logging API earlier. (It took six years after Java 1.0.)
And capital gains taxes in particular massively distort incentives. But in that case it's intentional

For the longest time it was assumed that creativity was an almost magically human trait. The fact that somebody can, with a straight face, say "I don't get why it is impressive, I could draw these images too" is actually indicative of the wild change that has occurred over these last couple years.

I guess it is true that more than a couple demos like this have been shown, so some of the awe might have worn off, but it is still pretty shocking to lots of us that you can describe the general idea of something to a computer and it can figure out and produce "what you mean," fuzzy as that is.
I think they’re expecting some announcements from Apple
Thanks I was looking for this.
I just checked Uber from my home to the airport and it’s 17 EUR. If I call yellow cab, price would be 1.5-2x higher and if I imagine a foreigner catching one on the street without the meter - that could get even worse.

I went for 2 weeks abroad with a week vacation and other week working remotely. There was no hotel in the area to provide me with the proper accommodation. But Airbnb did that just fine.

So I don’t necessarily see those services and companies behind as pure evil. I would say the government running behind and reactively setting limitations rather than proactively thinking about the way to move forward is an issue here.
I don't think it's true. Can a non-GPL backup tool backup files with GPL code? It will certainly be copying them, that's what backup is. I think you would agree that claiming it is a GPL violation would make no sense. What if that tool also calculates hash sums of the code? Still OK? What if it also builds inverse indexes on the content of the files, for better backup retrieval? Still OK? What if more complex calculation on the content of the files is done, for more efficient storage and compression? The resulting data set would certainly have something derived from the code, but it would not be anything like the original code. What if the same data set is used to train an ML model? I still don't see the boundary there, and "you can't touch bytes in any GPL code in any way" doesn't seem to be it.

I am not talking about "enforcing ownership rights" - if I train a model on GPL code and it produces some code, I am not asking about ownership rights on that code. For all I care, that can be public domain. What I am asking is how much of the original code should be left in this product for it to be still covered under GPL and how would one find such a boundary?
Your comment is in line with the perspective that has led to the current predicament. Every bit of financialization that has claimed to make housing "more affordable" has actually done the exact opposite over the long term, by driving up abstract asset prices that are unrealizeable to actual resident homeowners but keep new buyers out of the market. While having higher interest payments seems like a bad thing, with market feedback it actually reduces the amount of the principal, making it easier to pay off a mortgage early. If this return to having interest rates actually continues (as opposed to being reversed by the Fed in favor of Wall Street), this is short term pain for long term gain.
Based on [1] this first result on Google, a truck can carry about 300,000 tomatoes. I don't think those tomatoes are going to add up very soon. A loaded truck of about 80,000 pounds (11.5 times the weight) would have 17490 times the road impact compared to the same trip driven back home. Distributed over 300,000 tomatoes, the cost wouldn't be all that much. Despite inefficient engines and truck construction, bulk transport is actually very efficient. Generally speaking: the bigger the trailer, the better, even with the weight increase.

Even better would be using this as an incentive to expand and improve the quality of the much more efficient rail network (or transport over waterways, where available) to improve the entire supply chain. That would require the government to act in the interest of its people, though, so I don't think we'll see the effects of such a programme too soon if it ever makes it.

Every tax-paying citizen is already paying this heavy price! Only instead of the damage inefficient transport causes to our infrastructure being reflected in our everyday expenses, it's hidden from plain sight in taxes.

The only industry I'd expect to see killed by paying for road damage would be package delivery vans. They're driving long distances with comparatively almost no weight at all for the convenience of not needing to go to a centralized store to pick up your stuff. With the way Amazon and friends have their drivers pee in bottles, I don't see why we should subsidize those vans.

Back in the late 90s, I was working at a small web hosting company (take note). One day, a 500+ page report of a recent PCI compliancy check landed on my desk. It was nothing but "OMFG! DOMAIN1 RESPONDED TO PING! YOU WILL BE PWOWNED! OMFG! DOMAIN1 HAS DNS RECORDS! YOU WILL BE PWONED! OMFG! DOMAIN1 HAS A WEB SERVER RUNNING! YOU WILL BE PWONED!". Over and over again. For every domain we have. Complete and utter garbage report.

Better---just summarize the IPs scanned and report back which services were found running on said IPs. Then in an appendix, list why each service is (or might be) problematic. "Ping? Attackers might be able to figure out your network topology and that is bad because blah blah blah blah."

But 500 pages of this automatic breathless garbage? Utter trash.

Have you heard of the Trusted News Initiative? [1]
>Who is involved?
>Core partners in the TNI are: AP, AFP, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, The Nation Media Group, Meta, Microsoft, Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post.

So that sounds nice from a project management perspective, but it's to ensure that only the same message is being disseminated, and "incorrect" messaging to be limited or stopped. And then you see one of Pfizer's directors [2] sits on the same board as Reuters, which is part of this program.

So there is a clear financial incentive there to either suppress or to limit/police information contrary to "vaccinate or die/you're a bad person". That's why so much research about ivermectin or vitamin D has been either suppressed or outright smeared. Like that week when every NBC or CNN or MSNBC channel ran the "Joe Rogan ate horse paste!" story. Well, no, actually a doctor in Texas prescribed him a WHO essential medicine that might have helped, but was safe to try. And the decision should be between him and his doctor. And then the CDC ran all these articles about "don't take horse medicine!" as a way to smear alternative medicine-interested as idiots with a deathwish. For shame that our government-funded agencies would do this.

Never before in the US have I seen such gaslighting, smearing, lies, corruption, mind control, and deprivation of rights (via vaccine passports in my county). All the Russians I know says this all reminds them deeply of the Soviet period. But Americans are so keen to trust authority, and not to know to be suspicious of it. We knew from January 2021 that the "vaccine" doesn't prevent infection, but it's still being treated as such. It is not a traditional vaccine; it is a prophylactic medication to limit risk of death for 6 or 7 months. Even calling this a "vaccine" is a linguistic trojan horse, because it's _not_; the CDC's very definition of "vaccine" was changed [3], just so they could shoehorn this product into that category and bring record profits to Moderna and Pfizer.

The next two or three years' of lawsuits are going to be _very_ interesting.

Also, I suppose that in 10 years, there'll be virtually no unencrypted traffic above the IP level, and the outer IP level will only be used to help run various encrypted channels, overlay networks, VPNs, etc, which usually have their own, unrelated IP routing inside.
No. But the opponent will do that too. The trick is to find a move that is just slightly worse according to the engine, but that gives a complicated position that's hard to figure out behind the board. That you will then learn all the in and outs of, and memorize. And then hope you get it on the board...

They need hundreds such ideas for a match.
What does that have to do with the fact that EU produces virtually nothing relative to its size and economy in terms of tech? They wouldn't have to be constantly passing these knee-capping regulations if they had a competitive industry of their own to spread out the market share. It's downright embarrassing.

In the UK… “The Environmental Services Association, the trade body, said that only 14 per cent of the country's 91,300 waste sector workers were female.” So 2x dall-e searches should produce 1.2 women.

Road tax needs to be morphed into road-usage tax, based on time of day, location, axle weight, and distance.

It should be prohibitively expensive to use congested freeways and city streets during peak hours, but free at all other times.

Road expansion is justified based on peaks of usage - so by smoothing out these peaks, we can save significantly on the need to build more roads. Trip length can also scale non-linearly based on congestion: 10-20% more cars than capacity can result in 50% longer trips.

If someone works an on-call rotation and was told about it during the interview process then I see no issue with it. It's baked into the agreed-upon compensation already.

I don't see how you can declare what an employer/employee are allowed to agree to. Working an on-call is completely reasonable for a salaried employee. If the terms changed after you were hired and you're bound by a contract (and cannot leave without penalty for a certain timeframe) then things would be very different. But the majority of the HN audience is in the U.S. where employment is generally at will.

Lost Connections is a great book on this.

Most people used to be apart of some form of community. You made friends, made dinner together, found love , etc. In this community.

Now their's none of that. Everyone is a disposable interchangeable part. Instead of getting a stable job, and having a foundation, now we're all gig workers. Or short-term contractors. Back in the day, you'd work the same job most of your life, and that's one of the ways you made friends.

Back when I lived in LA, I was lucky enough to be a part of a fantastic apartment community. We cooked, and watched sports together. While I had to leave for other reasons, I definitely miss these guys.

The internet's a poor substitute, even at a bar my behavior is restricted by social norms. In real life I've never had anyone call me a slur, or personally attack me.

Online it's absolutely relentless, I don't use social media or online dating for this reason.

My desktop machine is not in my living room but I like to watch shows on my large TV while gaming from the couch.

Only bad thing I can say is that they got bought by Unity last year and Unity is now merging with IronSource :/

Right, but you need a LOT of money for these.

Example: Each unit is paying $200 a month in HOA fees. $100-$150 covers the normal stuff - garbage, electricy, etc. A little bit gets saved each month.

Every 20 years like.. the entire roof needs replaced, or maybe the elevator. This could be a 20-100k hit that there is no way you have saved up for. So you need a special assessment. And a special assessment needs a vote.

There are many members that plan to move/die in the next 1-5 years. They think if they can just say "we dont need a new roof YET, lets just slap some more patch up there", they can delay the assessment until after they are gone.

The only way this condo things work, is a high assessment where you bank a lot of money. But with a high assessment, home values are down, so no one will vote for a high assessment.

It is all kind of a mess, and IMO a good reason to avoid condos.

Without the subsidies, companies have no reason to locate manufacturing where politicians want it located.

> Didn't Intel just commit to $35B to start factories in Europe? Why can't they do that here?

Intel got billions in exchange for doing that. So the reason they are setting up where they are in Europe is because the governments there paid Intel to locate there.
Why does grandpa get to live in a two bedroom apartment in the LES during retirement when so many other people can't afford it despite working for a living?

If he owns, you'd think that he could sell the two bedroom and downgrade to a one bedroom to keep the monthly cost down. Or even a studio. But at some point it's an incredibly desirable, expensive neighborhood and I'm not sure anyone deserves the privilege to live where they want as long as they want.

Most likely this was something forced by their marketing team or their office of diversity. Given the explanation of the implementation (arbitrarily adding "black" and "female" qualifiers), it's clear it was just an afterthought.
The funny thing is - Polish pronunciation is objectively easier than English.
> The only "social contract" in force is, "Obey and be protected. Defy us and die."

That same contract is also in force in the absence of a government monopoly on violence, with the difference that the "and die" part gets implemented far more frequently.

That's why anarchists (of any stripe - left or right) shouldn't be trusted, since what they are really aiming for is to destroy democratic institutions and replace them with an authoritarianism that enforces only their preferences.
I used to be an SRE manager for an on-prem cloud at a previous job. What they don't tell you is that even though your team of SREs that you manage has an on-call rotation, whenever there's an incident, they call the on-call and then call their manager and get everyone on a bridge call until the incident is resolved. Which meant I was on-call 24x7x365. I barely lasted a year before I bailed. I am a single parent 50% of the time (shared custody of kids) and it's hard to be on an incident bridge until 3am and then have to get up at 6am to get your kids ready for school.

I'll never accept another job in my lifetime that requires on-call rotation (if I can help it).
Glad they cut this stuff off before it got too big. Cryptocurrency grifts have been taking over Minecraft Java Edition in the past year or so.
Belief dictates reality. This is the fundamental driver behind the common effectiveness of placebo. Which leads to the question, does depression exist as a flaw in the brain? A malfunction? Or is it like a mind virus, that it becomes an inescapable suffering because we are told we are broken and powerless to fight these feelings?

If a person is feeling sad, often, and without reason, and you tell them "Sorry, your brain is broken, you have depression, we will give you these pills to fix your brain chemistry." You have taken that person's autonomy away. They are now the victim of a disease.

I think the reality is that our society and civilization leads to a certain despair and sadness in many people, one that can be fixed by changing one's lifestyle, mindset, or overcoming challenges. This is not a disease, not a mental illness, not some health problem you cure with a pill. It's a spiritual dilemma that must be faced individually and overcome with effort and belief that one can change.

Essentially, I believe that by diagnosing people with "clinical depression" we are creating a self fulfilling prophecy and condemning them to a victim status that perpetuates their suffering.

I tried the first whimsical, benign thing I could think of: "indiana jones eating spaghetti." The results are clearly recognizable as that. But they are also a kaleidoscope of body horror; a Indiana Jones monster melted into Cthulu forms inhaling plates that are slightly not spaghetti.
No one ever says "why don't we charge pedestrians fees for sidewalks," for good reason. Bike infrastructure should be thought of as the same way. A paved bike path is going to be like a sidewalk: it will last as long as the elements permit it no matter the amount of usage it sees. Versus a road used for vehicular traffic that is heavy enough to degrade the road, that sort of usage makes a lot more sense to tax.
I have a couple friends with them and ordered mine about a month ago, should be delivered any day. I've only heard good things about this device, I really don't think it's spam.
Not really. In the past, the wealthy owned the field.

In the present, there is plenty of cheap land if you want to live off the grid and grow beans. That's not what people want anymore. They want cars and modern appliances. You can't get those without an advanced manufacturing society, and thus, people work for other people.

But you don't extract your living from wealthy neighbors. You provide a service that you get paid for. What you get paid depends on what you can provide.

I think this will be better as a Web App than mobile App given that people don’t expect to be moving that often. Why download an App that will be used only for maybe a month?

Making it a web App also increases the chance that people will use it. E.g. I might not be thinking of moving now but based on your show HN, I could try it and if I like it, will bookmark for future use. Being a mobile App, people will probably not install it just to try it out if they don’t have an immediate use for it.
They need to know who the players are so they can look for sponsors willing to put up the prize money and organising costs. The events are often sponsored by companies from the home country of one of the players. Doing it before the challenger is known makes the pool of potential sponsors too small.

My point is that a lot of (and maybe most) 90 year olds are not really capable of moving. Moves are a pretty big pain in the ass in your 20s and 30s, but doing the process of finding a new apartment and physically moving are much harder at that age. And then you move to somewhere cheaper because the whole point is you can't afford the city anymore, but now you need to find all new doctors (many 90 year olds have multiple doctors they see regularly), figure out how to see family (perhaps you remained in your old place because your family lived nearby), get to the grocery store (you're 90... you likely can't drive). It's not practical.
Code might be useful way after original constraints / platforms / compilers / requirements / reasons / etc are long gone.

If you have a tradeoff between something today and clarity you might thank yourself later that you didn't went for it and kept code amenable to change.
Or as with any tradeoff you can be right going for that cleverness.

I have learned that I want to err on clarity side not on cleverness side but ymmv.
