Or perhaps it's not quite as binary as "either you believe success is all luck or you're arrogant."

There's a lovely book, "The Drunkard's Walk - How Randomness Rules Our Lives" that has a good take on this.

I don't have time to find the passage right now, but the idea is essentially this: even if you work in an endeavour where success is overwhelmingly driven by luck, success still requires: taking a chance to have the opportunity to become lucky, an open mind and preparation to recognize the good luck that has occurred, and the skill to exploit the opportunity that luckiness has brought.

One must make chances for luck to occur, and one must have a prepared mind to take advantage of luck when it does occur.

I wouldn't necessarily read the replier as saying they have succeeded and luck had nothing to do with it (i.e. the binary view).

The problem with a view point of "it's all luck," IMO is this will lead you down the path of learned helplessness and even if you do get lucky you won't be in a position to capitalize because if you thought it came down to a roll of the dice, why would you bother skilling up in the first place?

What extra risks and overheads do you mean, regarding international relationships?

Enforcing a contract or collecting payment (or getting quality work) are problems with US-based relationships, generally too tedious and expensive for both parties to bother with.

You reduce risk by setting clear deliverables and expectations up front and not getting into the position of the customer owing you a lot of money. Other than the minor hassle of wire transfer and currency conversion I’m not aware of any significant overhead due to contracting from outside the US.
This is the end of an era. I doubt any monarch can truly follow her legacy.
She was just a year and a bit short of passing Louis XIV for longest reigning monarch. Almost made it...
Containers should really be viewed as an extension of packages (like RPM) with a bit of extra sauce with the layered filesystem, a chroot/jail and cgroups for some isolation between different software running on the same server.

Back in 2003 or so we tried doing this with microservices that didn't need an entire server with multiple different software teams running apps on the same physical image to try to avoid giving entire servers to teams that would be only using a few percent of the metal. This failed pretty quickly as software bugs would blow up the whole image and different software teams got really grounchy at each other. With containerization the chroot means that the software carries along all its own deps and the underlying server/metal image can be managed seperately, and the cgroups means that software groups are less likely to stomp on each other due to bugs.

This isn't a cloud model of course, it was all on-prem. I don't know how kubernetes works in the cloud where you can conceivably be running containers on metal sharing with other customers. I would tend to assume that under the covers those cloud vendors are using Containers on VMs on Metal to provide better security guarantees than just containers can offer.

Containers really shouldn't be viewed as competing with VMs in a strict XOR sense.
Open Source is great. This device does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. In most urban areas 2.4 GHz is congested and subject to interference from drones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, Bluetooth, etc. A low duty cycle 5 GHz channel is much more conducive to good call quality.
It doesn't sound like you are aware of GiveWell's work.
Side question (let's set aside for a moment the issues about the underlying data set and photoshop editing), is the generation deterministic?

I mean, given a set of prompts (text) to a specific engine, will the same set of prompts on the same engine after - say - one week produce a same image?

Or in the meantime changes on the data set or whatever will generate a different image?
>Try using Control Panel, Settings, or any of the other Windows Configuration things.

Average users don't know or care about any of that. That's a nitpicking issue for you because you know them all and are looking for flaws so you know where to look to go "A-ha, see, there's multiple ways to change settings!", but most users will not be bothered by any of that as they will always end up in the Settings panel in Windows 11 whenever you're trying to change something, and it has all the setting you need in a searchable categorized way, from screen resolution, to security, updates, internet connection, mouse acceleration to accessibility, since to find the old control panel you need to actually open it yourself manually, as it's never opened or suggested by any windows 11 setting itself, so again, this is a non-issue for average users just a nitpick from haters.

No need to break out the old control panel unless you're doing complex sys-admin things.

And what's wrong with having two ways in which to change the settings, a new and a legacy way? Even linux distros have that and it's considered a plus. That's like saying Linux is inconsistent because you can change a setting in the GUI and via the command line.

Argh, and she was so close to overtaking Louis XIV as the longest reigning monarch in history! I was really hoping we'd beat the French.

But seriously, this is a momentous day for Britain and the world. She was a titan of public life, known to billions. The world will never be the same without her. I don't know what these means for Britain but I expect it will be quite destabilising.

May she rest in peace. Long live the king!
Stalwart and solemn, she lived a life submitted to one's duty. Truly an end of an era.
Rest In Peace!
A side comment:

I think you don't stand a chance to have a substantial customer base in Scandinavia. Their decision making process is by iterative consensus. You hold the meetings on the topic until there is a collective agreement for unanimous decision. If there is not, you hold another meeting in a few days.
Does anyone have a link to the web assembly component model, and is there any alternative?

Maybe there can be some kind of universal device driver plugin or something.

It's weird to me that there wasn't initially an organized effort to escape the web browser by coming up with some sort of UI system or ways to integrate other devices etc. Don't know if that has changed.
Looking forward to v7 and intro docs that only use "even more" Modern Perl.
For a bigger push, we should all volunteer on those "Do X in Y" language sites and add Perl examples. Same with Amazon Lambda and other opportunities where pick your language is available.

Also a modern OO seems nice, though not sure what is in it.
Would also like to see a default async library (maybe POE, but I never used it and find the name a bit strange for a default...but then I like Tokio...) Not my area at all, but an opinionated way of async seems nice.
Oh hey HN. This is in the Caddy 2.6 beta already: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/tag/v2.6.0-bet... - please try it out!

Thanks to Marten Seemann for maintaining the quic-go library we use. (I still haven't heard whether Go will add HTTP/3 to the standard library.)

Caddy 2.6 should be the first stable release of a general-purpose server to support and enable standardized HTTP/3 by default. HTTP versions can be toggled on or off. (Meaning you can serve only HTTP/3 exclusively if you're hard-core.)

PS. Caddy 2.6 will be our biggest release since 2.0. My draft release notes are about 23 KB. We're looking at huge performance improvements and powerful new features like events, virtual file systems, HTTP 103 Early Hints, and a lot of other enhancements I'm excited to show off on behalf of our collaborators!
RIP. As a Canadian I've always liked that we technically had the Queen as our head of state. I wonder how attitudes will change now that her 70 year reign.
The current state of Perl 5 for Python fans:

Perl 5: I'm getting better!

Internet: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.

TIOBE: I can't take 'im off like that! It's against regulations!

Perl 5: I don't want to go off the chart....

Internet: Oh, don't be such a baby.

TIOBE: I can't take 'im off....

Perl 5: I feel fine!

Internet: Well, do us a favor...

TIOBE: I can't!

Internet: Can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long...

TIOBE: No, gotta get to Reddit, they lost nine today.

Internet: Well, when's your next round?

TIOBE: Next year.

Perl 5: I think I'll go for a walk....

Internet: You're not fooling anyone, you know-- (to TIOBE) Look, isn't there something you can do...?

Perl 5: I feel happy! I feel happy!

There was a fairly mind-boggling bit in there too about the age gap of the Prime Ministers which served her.

I do not think I can accept sabotage characterization although I can see why that image would come to mind. It is a compromise of opinions at best. Still, I think you do have a point.
Dude when the sanctions end the sanctions will really really end.
Are you worried that you're trying to solve a process/people/culture problem with a technology solution?
Assuming this is what they meant by "biased", it doesn't actually say anything.

> a korean publication will clearly try their best to portray the events as they see it.

This is true of anyone, anywhere, ever.

> South korea is very anti-japan, not that I blame them, but its bad enough that I wouldn't trust news from it unless it has proved itsself to be particularly trustworthy.

So South Korea has reasons for being not too keen on Japan, which you understand, but you also wouldn't trust them to talk about that? Does anyone with any grievance deserve trust, in your eyes?

Also, your issue is that ... a South Korean newspaper exists, and publishes things?

> korean and japanese news don't act unbiased at all in relation to eachother.

First, why should they? You've just given plenty of reason for each side to be biased. Second, the hidden expectation that people ought to act "unbiased", whatever that means, is trying (and failing) to do a lot of heavy lifting here. It says "I want more ____ before I believe the claim", but you don't say what that is, and I get the impression that nothing would be enough.

All you need to do here is look at the photo.
Sooooo odds are exactly the same that the model 4 comes out "in a year"
This article completely undermines itself by arguing in the conclusion ("Measure what you value") that we can and should measure "meaningful relationships" instead.

> They’re not as easy to measure as engagement, sure, but they can be measured.

I'm afraid that a citation is sorely needed here. There are no real measurements for "meaningful relationships."

In fact, the only proxy metric we have for "meaningful relationships" is engagement!

And, yes, engagement is not a very good proxy metric for meaningful relationships, but since there's no alternative, it's all we've got, so this article is pointless.
There is no engine that will make economic sense for either the engine manufacturer or the airline operator based on the technology we have.

I was glad to see Go get generics. Not because it was super-important but rather so we didn't have to hear about it anymore.

I think exceptions are a false economy so I have no real issue with Go's error handling. It could be cleaner. Rust's match expressions are better. Multiple returns are a bit awkward. Something like a result or error union type would be better and could fit in with the type system. Standard errors might allow more automatic (or at least less boilerplate on) propagating errors.

Go's dependency management is the real weak point. Putting domain names in import statements is a massive mistake. Java's Maven repos are simply better. Just ignore the XML for declaring dependencies). Thing slike being able to specify version is what you want. Having someone be able to verify dependencies is what you want. The latter may be necessary in a corporate environment where it may be too much of a security risk to allow open imports.

It is an interesting idea - you definitely have hit on a problem area. I don't think you have the correct solution. But that isn't a bad thing -- I think the process of launching this, and listening to feedback will allow you to find the correct solution. As long as you adapt to the feedback and don't come into it with ego, it should be an interesting journey.

The total cost to ship it where? From Korea to the end user in the US? Or from New Jersey to New York? Much more of the cost of goods is transport than you might realise, and you pay per TEU, not per kg - so a container mostly filled with air is an expensive proposition.

You also assume that the technical cost will be constant - it rarely is, and I see these products as a tooling step towards making thin film displays that can be packed with vastly improved density.

Not commenting on the article itself, but in general Joong-ang Ilbo is right in the center of conservative, pro-chaebol, pro-trade political section. It's owned by members of Samsung's royal family.

Even things like semiconductors benefitted massively from government research and funding. They’ve certainly taken off from there, though.

I’m trying to think of what industries this might not be the case for. Research thin industries like entertainment and media? Has the development of things like OLED mostly been by private companies? I guess finance? Seemingly if it involves engineering the government at least made the seed investment.

One example is that we seem to need to send clients a significantly complicated form they can use if the IRS ask to confirm that we’re paying tax on earnings here in the UK so they aren’t required to deduct anything at source.

This is a good move. Psychedelics (read: naturally occuring or semi-synthetic substances which bind to the 5-HT2A receptor) are generally safer than most other recreational drugs (such as alcohol, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, tobacco) and tend to have the lowest addiction potential. In addition they have some noted medical effects (treating alcoholism and depression in particular, with potential for treating opiate addiction as well).

The best way to approach psychedelics is with the 'less is more' mentality, although this does fly in the face of consumer capitalism and the profit motive.
Arguably the largest change in humanity in a ~100 year span? Especially if we go back to 1922. Mass communication, mass travel, etc. were all non existent.

Yeah, I firmly believe that those purist voices have been over-represented. From 2019, they seems to change the keyword aggregation methodology in Go Dev Survey and the portion of generic just skyrocketed (https://go.dev/blog/survey2019-results) to 79%. And even before that generic had been always one of the top complaints.
Honestly I couldn't give a shit if there were horrible effects. Kidnapping someone off the street and throwing them in a padded room with a doctor over watching to make sure they're medically OK is perfectly safe, but ought to be illegal. Buying rat poison and eating it is completely unsafe, but if that's someone's thing then they're free to have at it.

Of course, if I buy rat poison, I have a pretty pure product and I can look up the ld50 and make a scientific estimate on how much I can take before I die. Not so with some random shit off the street.

My native plant friend has a rant I've heard twice and I gather he's given countless times.

The logistics of a wetland restoration are that you get a lump of money to get a group to go out and stick plants in the ground, but the problem is that in an intact habitat plants compliment each other. Some won't grow next to tall plants, others will only grow next to tall plants. So a restoration should ideally be a series of planting events over three or four years, but that's either not 'sexy' enough for the financial and public policy people, or doesn't have the sense of closure they're chasing.

Mass tree plantings aren't fundamentally different, and doing mass anything means disturbing the soil. The current wisdom is that there's a point of no return with soil compaction, where if you cross it, there are only two solutions: One is to raise the surface area of the soil to increase the distance, the other is is to wait for the next ice age to scrape it all up and precipitate it back out. Those compaction layers also affect the flow of groundwater, so building upward only solves part of your problem. And it's heavy work, so you're again tromping the ecosystem you're trying to save.

The moral of the story is that if you disturb an area and end up with 90% dead trees, you may have done more harm than good.
