A lengthy article about the ban supposedly written on the day of the ban by Taylor Lorenz? Taylor Lorenz who doxxed people[1], lied about companies and people, was actively involved in several deplatformings and is currently being sued for defamation[2]? If anything, this makes me even more suspicious of the narrative about Kiwi Farms.

This looks more and more like a coordinated campaign. A basic search reveals a huge amount of recent articles that clearly aim to sic people on Cloud Flare[3][4][5][etc].

By amazing coincidence all these articles got published within one week of each other and within one week of Cloudflare dropping the website? Sure.

I mean there are lots of resources:

Essentially the Senate in 2011 wrote a bill that mandated NASA to build a rocket by 2016 AND that uses existing contractors. So there was literally no way other then just using exiting Shuttle components to even attempt to do that.

This reddit thread has a lot of resources about the actual design of what SLS ended up being and how the design process clearly suggest to NOT DO what they eventually did: https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceLaunchSystem/comments/kt1vlf/r...

There is a lot of upside for Kodak with this product, but not so much for the consumer, especially at the price point for the camera. Instamatic already existed and covered the same use cases. The only "problem" is that Instamatic was going off patent so anybody would be able to make the film.
Those Europeans were themselves on the receiving end of foreign disease when the Black Death was brought to Europe from somewhere in Asia. Strange how for some plagues, their foreign origin is emphasized, while for others it is ignored, despite how neither were introduced deliberately.

I have the impression that the problem of hydrogen leakage from vehicles is vastly exaggerated. A study on two commercial hydrogen cars found leakage rates of 2-6 mL/min (Table 4 in [1]). At this rate, it would take over 15 years for the tank content of a Toyota Mirai (5 kg of H2) to leak out.

It's important for people to know that at least when it comes to heating, "100% efficiency" is actually the worst possible efficiency. That's just thermodynamics. You can only get better than that.

I'd say Haskell is much more challenging that Scheme/OCaml but it's also what makes it interesting. It's very rewarding to understand all the abstractions. I'd recommend anyone interested in programming languages to learn it seriously.

Now, I wonder if it's worth using Haskell for real world projects. People have been using it for all types of things, so it's definitely possible, but the bar of entry is very high and most programmers will be more productive in different languages. Non-experts usually have a hard time maintaining existing codebases, including experienced programmers.

Besides, type safety isn't unique to Haskell. There are other languages more easily approachable which provide strong guarantees as well.

> if Apple would make a dock that I could plug into and have my apps move back into the position they were in (including correct monitor) when I unplugged the cable.

Isn't that handled by software? That Apple hasn't been able to provide for ages despite originally bosting to have the best monitor support, and now releasing "the best" external display with Studio Display?

> Currently it's just a crapshoot as to where my apps will be. Will they be on the right monitor? Will the monitors have magically juxtaposed? Will everything be only on the laptop screen? Who knows!?

Yup. It's been a pain for me since forever.
What we have works better “in general”. But when it fails in specific cases it’s a real pain to diagnose.

If they only have a gas furnace, then they may not have an outside unit currently. Piping a refrigerant line and signalling from where the furnace is to a suitable location for the outside unit may be easy or hard depending on their home.

Of course, if they have a furnace and an air conditioner, it's a lot easier to change to a heat pump and that's it (or more likely, a heat pump and just in case resistive heating)

> In my view it doesn't really matter.

One of these days, the compiler will do something surprising to one of your expressions involving signed integer overflow, like converting x < x + 1 to true. Or it'll delete a whole loop because it noticed that your code is guaranteed to trigger an out-of-bounds array read, e.g.: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=633

The future is now, things keep on improving, and it isn't even hardware.
One thing I don't see covered here - cost. Specifically, the cost of providing DDoS protection vs the cost of processing every complaint and evaluating if the complaint is legitimate.

At Cloudflare's scale, providing service to one additional site costs exactly $0. It's actually beneficial because it spreads their fixed costs (hardware, staff) over more customers. Great (for Cloudflare and the site).

But that only works if they don't have to do any marginal work for each site. Actually investigating each new website, going through potentially each page on the website, making a judgement call on if there is sufficient moderation to allow it or they shouldn't - it could take several hours or days of a skilled worker for each website. Just putting an example out there - how long would it take you to evaluate if reddit.com adheres to all the terms in Cloudflare's TOS? There's a different standard for user generated content, but it gets a pass if there's a good faith attempt to moderate the site. This stuff is actually hard.

If they actually had to process every complaint, regardless of where it came from, the economics of their business might not make sense. And of course, they open themselves up to false positives. They might ban a forum that looks dodgy but ends up being a leukaemia support group, which spawns yet another #dropCloudflare. And lastly, if they're going to listen to outrage from Twitter, they don't have a leg to stand on if they receive lawful requests from sovereign governments in Turkey, Saudi Arabia etc.

They hoped to sidestep all of these issues - money, false positives and state sponsored takedown requests by saying "we don't take down anyone for any reason". Well, it didn't work out.
Recommendations:
- Linux w/ Display drivers on CPU (and just...ditch miniconda please)
- Use lower FP precision mode if available to use the tensor cores (also to double "effective" memory)
- Batch things!
- I don't know what the max resolution of the diffusion network is, you may have to just simply tile it past a certain point (with overlap please! ;P

Hope that helps somewhat. A 3090 should be more than enough for what you're doing, I'm stuck with P100s at best for me! (Cost :'( )

Best of luck! :D :)

I'm starting to think that it is all purposefully designed to confuse the consumer. There is no reason, absolutely no reason at all, that the same cable/port can sometime transport only video, sometime only audio, sometime only raw data, sometime only power and sometime all of them put together or some combination of them. We can connect to a server to other side of the world or watch movie from youtube with the same cable (Ethernet, heck with the same connection) while writing a comment in HN, but somehow connecting a monitor and usb keyboard needs N different type of cables/port.
Most deniers wouldn't stop even after dozens of successful crewed launches, just like most flat earthers keep spreading their nonsense when they could send a balloon with a camera and take shots of the Earth curvature by themselves.
Also, some of these people profit from others' stupidity, so a small percentage of them, I'd dare to say the most active, are perfectly aware that we in fact went to the Moon and the Earth isn't flat, but books, gadgets, TV appearances, YouTube ad impressions, conventions, and generally having at disposal a huge flock of gullible people, brings money, popularity and by extension, power (see politics).
This is the monitors fault though right? Because the manufacturer flashes them with the exact same identifier, so the laptop has no way to tell them apart. There was a blog post about it here recently.

This really trivializes a complex topic. It ignores the role of preferences, and frames it in absolute terms.

Yes, though I'd say: Risks of conflict and history of recent conflict are potentially just as high in North America. But those risks are broadly internal or civil rather than external. And so that's how the form the "prepper" ideology takes. Swedes fear the Russians; North Americans fear themselves or their own oppressed internal populations.

What I mean by this is: North America has a very recent (and actually still current) history of the seizure and occupation of internal "unsettled" lands by force -- from the indigenous people that lived there. And also I guess in the US from Mexico. 200 years ago this took the form of explicit physical genocide -- physical warfare and displacement of the natives. 50-100 years ago the form of explicit social genocide (residential schools, reservation system &the Indian Act in Canada, the Potlach ban, forbidding indigenous languages). These days its economic.

So the frontier settler mentality is strong and tied deeply into North American culture. The idea that this is a "land for the taking" in which the strong survive and the model of successful individuality is to carve out a piece of self-sufficiency in it.

Combine with the history of slavery in the US south and the ongoing cultural/racial war built around racial ideology there.

imho the self-sufficiency meme in North American culture has always fantasy been mostly cover for what is really a form of organized state violence and racial injustice.

(FWIW my own family on my mother's side was granted [or sold for very cheap] a section of land on the Albertan parkland by the British crown as long as they cleared and settled and farmed it. From which my grandfather had his subdivided section and a portion of the extended family still owns. The sale of my grandfather's farm directly funded at least a year of my university education (and my sibling's), and also the purchase of my first tractor here on my own hobby farm.)
I read this overview several times and I remain confused.

It seems like a rehash of plan 9/network-is-computer paradigms. I get all the reasons that is interesting now- networking is REALLY fast and lots of cache hierarchy and other assumptions in kernels just don't apply any more- but to place the emphasis on the areas of innovation on the use of tables and transactions as core distributed primitives for applications...is strange.

While maybe beneficial for system programmers, it definitely isn't a more understandable paradigm for application programmers- very few of whom who write code that saves data understand the varieties of transaction semantics.

And in terms of applications, what decades of failed "database under the filesystem with typed object storage" work has shown also that the data types and semantics applications need are always more imaginative than those exposed at lower levels. Someone used to working with graphs, when given tables, is going to walk away.

Where is the ML layer that optimizes under a "save this thing" surface that actually presents a new stable abstraction?

But in true armchair architecture sniper fashion, I'm going to leave my confusion as is and move on. Best wishes to them.
When you write C programs, you are coding on the C abstract machine as specified by the language standard. If your code triggers signed integer overflow, then the C abstract machine says that it's undefined behavior, and the compiler and runtime can make your code behave however it wishes. It doesn't matter that the underlying concrete machine (POSIX, x86 ISA, etc.) has wraparound signed overflow, because your code has to interact with both the abstract machine and the concrete machine at the same time. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAji7PkXaKY
The basic data point for claims for near/byuu faking it are:

* He's done a disappearing act with an identity before! That's the reason for the near/byuu name split. People eventually figured out the two names were the same though.

* He never appeared on the international US citizens death list that is regularly published.

* There's been no independent confirmation of his death
otherwise

* The thread documenting him was long-inactive at the time he messaged the admin, so there wasn't anything that could have been called 'harassment' at the time.

That doesn't mean the death is impossible.

The US government bureaucracy could have failed, and the vanishing by suicide of a guy who had kept his name/face secret for quite some time is not hard to imagine either. Maybe the guy who told the dramatic story of byuu's last phone call on Twitter was telling the truth!

Judge based on evidence, such as it is. KF has enormous threads full of archived backing for everyone's statements, if you really want to kill an evening reading the back story.
You are ignoring economies of scale and the externalities of a mass market technology. Electricity is everywhere and even so, electric cars had and still have a huge barrier to overcome in providing adequate infrastructure. Once a technology takes off, it's virtually impossible for an incumbent to replace it unless it provides drastic improvements, because of the momentum the old technology has.

Well, H2 is an "also ran" at this point: it has lower energy efficiency (losing the majority of input energy in the cycle from electrolysis -> compression -> fuel cell -> electric), it requires more expensive and practically non-existent infrastructure, it's theoretical range advantages are negated by the need to have a small COPV bomb on board, forcing the longest range Hidrogen cars have less range than the equivalent electric, they are more expensive and complex, requiring expensive, platinum based catalysts, pushing the prices of H2 models into a multiple over the equivalent BEV. There is nothing that H2 can do that BEV can't do better, with the exception of fast refueling, which is becoming less and less of an issue.

For cars the race with BEV is irredeemably lost, and even for trucks the hydrogen industry needs to perform some technological miracle to stay in the game.

You also mostly can’t have consonant clusters in Hangul. It’s not a problem for Korean because they don’t have them to begin with.

This means that when Koreans adopt an English word that has multiple consonants not separated by a vowel then they need to add in some new vowels to be able to pronounce it. Thus words like Starbucks have two syllables in English but six in Korean.

First works coming to mind but there should be more... Also I probably re-read many times basic printed materials related Abrahamic religions like Torah, Quran and Bible.

For large corporations and gov organisations I can see how that could plausibly be true... for everything else, not so much. At smaller companies the hierarchy is not so rigid or deep, and people are not so siloed, they must work together more closely and feel each others pain.

I'm a dev at a such a small company, and in a position that I can make or highly influence such decisions. Oracle products will never be in our supply chain because of me - a dev.
Except in many cases they actively hid, and lobbied against, measures that would have helped. The big oil companies all had research showing what emissions would do - and they buried them, and lobbied governments for tax breaks, to gut public transit and more.

In the 10 minutes since reading your comment, I breezed through documentation, downloaded the CLI, authenticated, tweaked the code in 2 places: (1) the ENV variable key for the Postgres url and (2) the port of the app from 3000 to 8080. Ran `go build` and in theory, based on the way we structured our app, the one Go binary file is ready to go. I have confidence this might "just work", compared to the 3 hours I already sunk into GCP and who knows how much longer.

However, I'm blocked on needing credit card access / friction to proceed further due to my overseas CC. Would be great if someone from Fly.io is reading this and can provide free credits ( in exchange for user research ).

We'll see how pricing scales. Maybe GCP/AWS scales at higher scale, but the minimum requirements of GCP to run this single "serverless" container has already involved provisioning half a dozen VMs ( the VPC connector alone needs a minimum of 2. This feels like GCP's problem rather than the customers if they are promoting uploading a container and it "just works". ).
Maybe try actually _doing_ some CS, rather than just binge-reading it. Find a project, write some code, and then read up about the topic in order to apply the knowledge learned to your project.

Sounds right to me! I usually start projects/features with a test that covers the end-to-end behavior I want to see. When you have no other tests, a smoke test is the highest value test you can add because it measures the thing you care about.
