So, having removed the immutable attribute from / and run the guix-install.sh script, the first issue I have is that the script thinks the group 'kvm' exists, because 'getent group kvm' returns successfully. However, if you try to create a user and add them to the kvm group, you get an error about the group not existing. Looking at the contents of /etc/group, there are only 5 groups and none of them are 'kvm'. At the very least it seems that the Guix install script is making some assumptions about the system that Silverblue breaks, which does make me wonder a bit about using the two side by side.

Additionally, I have found some posts as far back as 2017 regarding using Guix or Nix on Fedora Atomic Linux or Fedora Container Linux (it seems the Silverblue name is more recent) and the fact that we're still puzzling it out 5 years later without much in the way of documented success does make me question the viability of the idea a bit.
Oh this is a relief to have something opensource in this field. I had using Mozilla Deepspeech for transcribing my voice notes , often with hilarious to incomprehensible results. DeepSpeech is dead ; so I will be sure to check this out.
Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be snarky - much of your comment read to me like a mockery of the hateful things CNN and MSNBC say all day, combined with many of the very things conservatives are posting about the left, with a mix of manic Fox News in between. It felt like it was intentionally hyperbolic in a sort of highbrow parody sort of way.

If you do believe all of that in your comment, then I wonder if you’re victim to hateful disinformation intentionally meant to make it ok to censor, excommunicate, and violently attack a group of people with whom you would otherwise have minor policy disagreements.

Ironically, proving the need for “the other side” to have a parallel economy in the first place.

It’s mostly too bad because, if you believe all the things you said about desiring better education, better healthcare, higher wages being good; and that sexism, racism, and acceptance of business and political elites is bad, then you have a lot more in common with people on the right than you think, and are likely not seeing some aspects of the extremism on the left. (But not your fault - a function of the disinformation).

It’s too bad, because the extremists on both sides are also far more alike than they are different, and they are empowered when we’re against each other.

Not to say there aren’t elements of truth in your comment, too.

The funny thing about having a huge industry of hyper partisan right and left wing cable news and publications pumping out hateful caricatures all day, is that at some point it becomes somewhat self-fulfilling. A feature, not a bug, to be sure.
Or you know the gravy train is over and you can get 50% before it drains down to nothing + 20% of his imputed former income drained from the 50% he has remaining + a new man with a job.
There was recently a big 'open chess tourney' (actually https://www.chess.com/article/view/chesscom-global-champions...) to be conducted online. A lot of prize money and you could get to play against the top GMs. I laughed at it because of this very reason -- although touted as 'completely open' as an amateur you would never expect to win, and if by some miracle, like playing the lottery you happened to select all the correct moves, you will still be disqualified as a cheater. There is no point have a prize money tournament where amateur can fight GM (except for the PR) because amateur simply cannot win, but even if God possessed them for one game they would not be able to get away with winning.

The troublesome part here, is the stage in the program where this show up. Before the first failed launch, NASA willingly scrapped the first full wet rehearsal. It's all that says about the management of the testing phases and what implies for other parts of the program.
Ask HN: Is it time for software engineering to be a licensed job?
In our society, any job or task in which you can be a serious threat to a person requires first obtaining a license that is easily revoked if you ever engage in shady practices. Doctors, teachers, lawyers, electricians, and even driving are notorious examples.

Most software engineers don't work in projects that could be considered dangerous to society when misused, but those who work at global tech like Meta and Google easily fall into this box.

Given how often these companies show complete disregard to society and how more powerful they're getting with every passing day, is it time to regulate the field of software engineering?
Really scary to imagine what that must be like. My heart goes out to those Russian citizens.

EDIT: In case it's not obvious, I'm referring to people who do not support invading another country and murdering innocent people, but are being drafted to do so anyways.
Ask HN: To store display results in a search index or not to
We are designing our talent database search experience (think LinkedIn people search).

The search is driven by an Algolia-like service.

At the moment, we storing both the attributes that are used to search and the attributes that are used to display data. Most of the time, they are the same.

This design is great because it made the initial rollout simple.

However, there are a few problems that we already identified:

* There is no way to display sensitive data without an additional roundtrip to the server. We cannot store it in the search index, and if we are doing the roundtrip anyway, then it defeats the argument that this way is faster.
* The entire index needs to be resynced every time a new attribute is added to the display dataset.
* Engineers need to know how to update index data in addition to knowing how to API.
* Potential for stale data in cards when queue times are long

These are a few arguments that make me want to switch to a different design, where we only store attributes used for search, and the only result we return is the search position and ID of the user, which is then used to fetch data about individual search results from the API.

I cannot see many downsides to the new approach, short of the additional roundtrip.

Is there anything else I should consider?
Cachegrand, a fast, Redis compatible, KV store – hashtable documentation
Curious to discover how the hastable implemented in cachegrand ( https://github.com/danielealbano/cachegrand ) - my opensource Redis compatible Key-Value store - can deliver up to 112 million GET op/s and up to 85 million UPSERT op/s?

I have just pushed the new documentation!
https://github.com/danielealbano/cachegrand/blob/main/docs/a...

When tested with memtier_benchmark, using the Redis protocol, cachegrand itself, on the benchmarking hardware, thanks to the implemented hashtable can reach up to 5 million GET op/s and up to 4.5 million UPSERT op/s without batching, with it up to 60 million GET op/s and up to 26 million UPSERT op/s!
The article highlights that the easiest way for these companies to let go of staff right now is to dissolve entire teams. I've heard from friends that work at these companies that recent hiring freezes have actually made managers more hesitant to fire low performers because anyone they fire can't be replaced and they'd rather have a low performer than no one at all. The team dissolving process seems to sidestep this management hesitation to fire.
The vibe will work for a while just like the 70s trippy effects worked for a while, then their novelty will fade. I'm still waiting for the real stuff, not just a new style of glitch.
Sometimes a child will ask a series of 'why' questions - they want to know how the world works. But more than that, they want to know their place in the world, and they want to know that someone cares about them.

When people adopt conspiracy theories, they are unsatisfied with some aspect of their place in the world and they may feel no one is caring for them properly. Or they feel that the world is behaving improperly and they want it to return to the state they are used to. It is very easy to blame one group. It is very hard to realize that every human is an individual actor with their own emotions and motivations and moral history.

The world is really crazy - it takes a lot to engage with it on it's own terms.

I have some sympathy for individuals who adopt conspiracy theories. I have no sympathy for people who use conspiracy theories to enrich or empower themselves.

Seems more like a translation TO doublespeak.

You can argue with every point, but won't ever win cuz "it's just a way to communicate without being pedantic", but then you put all of this together and get a complete and utter gibberish. And this is basically how doublespeak works.
DNR/LNR were set up by Russia, so that one was a proxy war between Russia and Ukraine. It turned into a direct conflict when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014.

>A lot of gamers say that Pool & Hot Tub streams are being recommended despite only watching game streams.

Some hot tub streamers regularly get 10k+ viewers. If that viewer base overlaps with $your_favorite_streamer, then you will get hot tub streamer recommended. That said, I personally don't see problem with hot tub streamers; it seems like incredibly puritanical moral panic for some reason and I don't know why that gets so much attention in 2022.
Except this point of view doesn't make any sense, because if NATO wanted to get their missiles close to Russia they could put them in, say, Poland, or Finland, instead of Ukraine.

Russia's point of view is that Ukraine must be destroyed, because when it becomes more successful than Russia it would prove how terrible the Russian government is. Except this isn't particularly convincing, so Russia dropped in the Nazi ideology of "inferior Ukrainians", which kind of fits given their approach of leveling entire cities (cf Mariupol).

An alternate theory would assume Russia for some reason _wants_ to lose. Because, honestly, it does look like that. If Putin wanted to make sure Russia remains isolated from the West for the upcoming couple of decades, "resetting" the situation back to late eighties to force its society to choose a different route instead... Except the whole idea seems too absurd even for them.

Then again, none of this matters: we've tried appeasing Putin before, and it only provoked him to escalate. It was a logical choice to try something different this time - and it appears it worked.
No, I didn't say that. I did say that all communal ownership resources are subject to tragedy of the commons.
In developing countries foreigners are often accorded special unwritten privileges. They may be charged more for services but they are also often simply expelled for offences that locals would be severely punished for. They would not like it if they are treated the same as the locals in every way.
Most common place I saw N+1 is ActiveRecord (Ruby on Rails).

A lot of commenters here are rightly pointing out survivorship biais.

Im even more concerned with the measure of « success » employed.

It seems that the only metric reported here is monthly revenue, which by itself can tell you if a project is further than the idea on a PowerPoint stage, but cannot tell you anything about meaningful success (at a very basic level revenue is not profit, and a few months data don’t tell much).

> Clearly macro factors like rates and inflation

To quote from the latest Economist [1]:

> This logic has broader implications than most investors realise. Now imagine you will receive $100 a year, for ever. By the reasoning above, this has a finite present value, since compound interest means payments in the distant future are almost worthless. With interest rates at 1%, the payment stream is worth $10,000; at 5%, it is worth $2,000. But as well as reducing the value, the higher rate also changes the distribution of that value. With rates at 1%, less than a tenth of the stream’s value comes from payments made in the first ten years. At 5%, around two-fifths does.

and

> In other words, higher interest rates dramatically alter firms’ incentives when choosing which timeline to invest over. Sacrificing short-term profits for longer-term gains is one thing when you are trying to persuade investors that your superapp, machine-learning algorithm or gene-sequencing widget has the potential to up-end an industry. It is another when even the best-case scenario has its value so heavily skewed towards what can be done in the next decade. Startup founders are used to shaking off derision over implausible, Utopian dreams. It is more of a kick in the teeth to realise that even Utopia is not worth much unless it can be achieved in short order.

Sorry for the long quotes, it was the best I could do, I highly recommend that article in its entirety.

Pravin Lal's speech stuck with me even more, it seemed prescient and relevant for how the mid/late-2000s and early 2010s played out.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constructing its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
It's an application design choice. It's perfectly reasonable to consider those two options when designing a system. The constraints of the system determine which is better for the application.

I'd pick a centralized network-reachable database with a strong relational schema for write-heavy applications, and a lighter in-process system for something that is mostly reads and where latency matters. It's not a false dichotomy — but more like a continuum that certainly includes both extremes on it.
It also runs well on a CPU and seems to have proper memory management. Wonderful timing because I was using DeepSpeech for some audio recordings and it required me to script up a splitter to make the files into .wav and then do snippets of 10 seconds each. Everything about this just works out of the box. On a core i5 I'm getting about 30 seconds every minute. Transcriptionist jobs just turned into editor jobs. I love how it drops the inflections in the audio as well, because it was trained on transcription work, and that is one of the first things you learn to do (drop the uhs and ums and huhs etc, unless it is a strictly verbose transcription).
My experience with the APIs is Google is excellent and Microsoft is slightly better. And the offline model I've been using that's nearly as good as both is facebook's wav2vec2-large-960h-lv60-self.

Don't believe what's on marketing pages, they rarely transfer to the real world. Will have to make time to try it and see. In theory, given task diversity and sheer number of hours, it should be a lot more robust but will wait on evidence before believing any claims on SoTA.

Ah, great points! The person may have said it was an exam to keep the explanation simple for others.

Perhaps they didn’t match (entirely didn’t match or couldn’t match where they needed to be for family/some obligation), burnt out, etc.

There’s tons of reasons one may not make it all the way through, though it is quite rare if you grind hard enough and are adequately flexible RE residency location and stuff. The system wants you to finish once you’re in med school, since med schools and residencies are measured by completion rates and similar success metics.

Medicine is a really tough thing to get in to, and I don’t think people fully grasp that as they apply for med school. It looks prestigious from the outside, but is financially draining for a long time and is extremely inflexible (find out where you match and move with only ~3 months notice?! Who thinks that’s acceptable in the modern world of two working spouses?).

A column of ants 2M high would be about 1000 ants (assuming 2mm height for an ant). According to [1], ants range from 1mg to 150mg(!) but most commonly 5-10mg - call it 8mg as an average and your bottom ant would be supporting about 8 grams over an area of (I assumed in another comment) 9x4mm or 36mm^2 to give about (if I'm operating [2] correctly) about 0.3psi. [3] suggests that ants can lift about 5000x their own weight which should mean the bottom ant would not only be fine but could probably carry the 2M column around without any trouble...

Doesn't GAAP have some obviously stupid rules about crypto? I don't mean to excuse scam accounting but I don't consider GAAP automatically optimal either. (Putting aside that Tether shouldn't be backed by crypto.)
You need two things to run a piece of code:

1) Code and execution environment
2) Compute infrastructure to run (1) on

Serverless, to me, means that (2) is abstracted away from you. You submit (1) to the serverless service (AWS Lambda for example) and the service figures out how to run it. Serverless does not mean there are not any servers. It is just something you do not need to ideally worry about. Abstractions are leaky though, and they can leak in very mysterious ways the higher up the abstraction tree you go.
In the model I would support, I would pay creators for their content. If the content creator would like to use youtube as their distribution platform, that's fine, but then it's up to the creator to pay Youtube as their distributor. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons "why that would never work", but don't chastise others for not paying Youtube.

So it's not "content creators need a slice". Content creators need to get paid, and distributors need a slice.
I think a good way is to check out CoinMarketCap's Market Cap tracker. Let me elaborate.

I think Market Cap = (value per asset) * (total # of assets in the market). So the Market Cap of USDT SHOULD BE roughly equal to the number of Tethers on the market (assuming the price of a single Tether is stable, which isn't a bad assumption right now).

Since "every Tether is backed 1:1 by USD" and Tether is (more-or-less) pegged 1:1 to USD, if you see the market cap drop by a significant margin, it's likely that the drop was an outflow to currency. If we check the Luna crash event (~early May - ~early June 2022), we can see that USDT lost ~18B in market cap over that period. So (I think) we can assume that there was (roughly) 18B of dollar outflow over that period.

If any of my statements here are incorrect, please correct me. I'm a software engineer, not a finance artist or an MBA, and the last business class I took was summer school in High School in like 2006.
