Show HN: Depot – fast, remote Docker container builds
Hey HN! We’re Kyle and Jacob and we are excited to show you Depot (https://depot.dev) and get your feedback!
Depot is a hosted Docker container build service, providing fully managed remote builds from CI and from your terminal. We support both Intel and Arm builds natively.

As application and platform engineers, we have experienced the challenge of keeping Docker container build times fast. From optimizing and reoptimizing Dockerfiles, to implementing layer caching in CI, to running & maintaining custom runners for multi-platform images.

Still today, there are limitations with the available tools. CI runners are ephemeral, and saving and loading cache tarballs is slow. CI providers are resource constrained, with limited CPUs and disk space to dedicate to fast builds. And with the increasing popularity of Arm devices like M1, Graviton, etc, building multi-platform images requires slow emulation or self-hosted infrastructure.

We created Depot to directly address those limitations. Depot provides managed VMs running BuildKit, the backing build engine for Docker. Each VM includes 4 CPUs, 8GB of memory, and a persistent 50GB SSD cache disk. We launch both native Intel and native Arm machines, on Fly.io for Intel builds and AWS for Arm.

We have built a depot CLI that embeds the Docker buildx build library, implementing the same CLI flags, so developers can send their builds to Depot VMs just by replacing `docker buildx build` with `depot build`. We also have a depot/build-push-action GitHub Action that can be swapped for docker/build-push-action in CI.

The combination of native CPUs, fast networks, and persistent disks significantly lowers build time — we’ve seen speedups of 2-3x on optimized projects, and as much as a 12x speedup with some of our customers.

We believe that today we are the only hosted CI or build service offering the ability to natively build multi-platform Docker images (--platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64) without emulation.

We are still early though, and would love your feedback.

You can sign up without a credit card at https://depot.dev/sign-up to access a free project with thirty days of unlimited build minutes to try it out.
It solves something for people at the destination of those bus tickets.
Apparently, people who would be successful and housed in cheaper markets do prefer being homeless in SF over moving.
You need to look at Canada, the Netherlands, Portugal, and other American cities.

Canada never tried to mass incarceration imprison-away the problem and they're rapidly discovering that they actually need some criminal charges and some incarceration or people don't care to improve. Taking fentanyl is literally the best feeling thing in life and you expect a junkie to just stop living in a free-drug camp?

The Netherlands and Portugal though have an incarceration-based rehab program. They don't ask the junkie if they're ready, they pick up anyone drugged out in public. But their programs work because there's essentially no other choice. You can't just refuse to detox because they don't give you free Fentanyl like Vancouver and SF. You can't support a junkie by giving them poison. They wean you, in 3-9 months, with long-halflife opioid agonists and then you spend years, sober, learning to live clean.

The policies you support are killing people with kindness.
Same for me, it looked nice, but never got into Doom 3. On the other hand the new Doom games, especially Doom Eternal, go back to the roots and are one of the best FPS games out there, at least for single player that is...
One thing to notice is that “Enlightenment” would not be called “Enlightenment” until much later. Simply said, you are sharing some pretty specific ideologized historical view point without knowing it. Analyzing it critically would help.
Doom 3’s flashlight also took away one element from the original: a dark room was a place you really didn’t want to enter, but had to in order to progress.

I think it was E1M3 or something that had a large room whose lighting slowly pulsed at about half a hertz. With about 15 demons, that room was fucking unpleasant. In Doom 3, you’d just whip out your flashlight — no biggie.
I find it absolutely, utterly, and completely implausible that the intelligence community just now started to research this possibility. It's been an obvious idea for decades now, and the tech has visibly obviously been roughly up to the task for decades as well. The last couple of years may have given an incremental improvement but it is completely implausible to me that they don't have workable solutions to this already. It's not like the system is useless to them until it 100% fingers exactly one person.
I just really really really like teaching stuff :)
Apple is about long-term. Short-term, yes, accepting the hike is the cheapest. However, it opens you up for future price hikes. Yeah, they can't just switch to Samsung or acquire and uplift GloFo, join venture with Intel also won't work. Long-term, though, they can start working on this.
Equal or better quality? I suppose it depends on what you are trying to create, but that hasn't been my experience at all.

Because everyone knows that SF will tolerate behavior that other cities will not, and that attracts the most problematic homeless people from all over the country. It's practically a network effect for homeless encampments.

> in view of modern biological and neurological knowledge

How do we know that our mind is interpreting what this knowledge is in a coherent manner? The researchers themselves are already making a philosophical claim that truth is knowable to get to any meaningful conclusions about what can be learned about the mind. Note that I'm saying this assuming your premise is true, then using it to undermine your own claim so using this logic against me is not coherent.

> is not a particularly defensible position.

Defensibility is defined outside itself. For example: "Is the city defensible?" Is a reasonable question, but without defining the threat vector (comets, horsemen, etc) the statement on its own is meaningless.

So please understand that from your own vantage point this claim may seem indefensible, but you are again assuming the premise; and this is, essentially, the number one problem I see in modern thought.

Thinkers in our era have taken a leap of faith to defend rationality and science then proceed to deny that faith had anything to do with it, or, even worse in the case of Sam Harris, deride faith as "surely the devil's masterpiece" beating out ignorance, hatred, greed.

I find this especially rich in light of the damage that greed and hatred have done to the modern world built upon our technological societies. I'm not anti-technology, in fact I am pro-technology, but without the underpinnings that come with faith that is acknowledged and serviced, I believe we'll end up damaging the world more than we aid it over time.

> Camp sweeps are a good thing. They disincentivize drug hotspots, get the mentally ill into shelters where they can be treated, and improve safety for everyone else.

I think if it disincentivizes drug hotspots, the effect is weak. I would say it temporarily moves the same people by a very short distance. You still see the same issues in the same neighborhoods, week after week. Similarly, if this is meant to be a mechanism for helping people with mental illness get to help, it's not effective. I see the same characters over and over again.

I would also argue it doesn't improve safety for everyone else. If anything, when a sweep happens, it creates a sudden stream of agitated, physically and emotionally unsettled people, moving through the street. Normally in my neighborhood walking _past_ an encampment isn't too bad. Walking home when a sweep has just happened nearby is much less comfortable.

I think what's really happening is theater. Local officials and institutions need to appear to be active more than they need to be actually effective. So while we're not actually solving problems, we're having the most visible homelessness shepherded from block to block.

F$ Microsoft and their shady move to lock openai.
To be honest I am not interested in their offering. Yes they were fast. But there are also many true open source models available now.
I don't want Microsoft to decide what I am allowed to do with it. Also they hide usable features behind a very expensive paywall and limit the budget to something like 25$ per month LOL. So actually they are like: "Here is a glimpse of it. But build nothing with it for broader audience. We want to see what you come up with and then copy paste it into our own products."

I am talking of taxes too. We've got no proof where the tax money would go or that it would benefit the poorest if governments simply had more money. Basically, there's no commitment from any government that it would spend any surplus tax money on the poor (because it wouldn't be a surplus without alternate reality).
The first Amendment guarantees that Congress will not establish a religion. The states already had them established.

And adultery was a capital crime, read between the lines.

Internet fall down go boom
I don't like it. The spacing is such that the page seems to be awkwardly hanging in mid-air. There is less information visible without scrolling. The top bar looks as if it was borrowed from Facebook. I would be disappointed if this design was adopted, as so far Wikipedia's design has been among my favourite on the web (and on iPad). On top of the utility of Wikipedia itself, it has been pleasurable to look at. If this redesign is adopted, I'll cringe to look at it, and I'll probably take more time to find information, given how it seems it's going to require more scrolling and clicking around to uncover drop-down menus.
I would recommend that anyone who pays taxes boycott and cancel San Francisco. it will only make a dent, but it’s a start.

Everyday, there is a missed opportunity to clean up the streets: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/heatherknight/article...

[..]In what has become a five-alarm fire for many women in the city — spread on social media — several alleged victims have posted photos of the distinctive-looking Hobbs, a 6-foot-4 white man with a buzz cut and a body covered in tattoos, including the E-V-I-L tag on his fingers.

The fact that a San Francisco Superior Court judge dismissed a case against Hobbs in which he was accused of following and grabbing a 15-year-old girl — first reported in this column — is well known by now. So is the fact that he’s back on the streets despite a long arrest record in four counties, despite admitting to me in a phone interview that he follows women he finds attractive, and despite the flood of new complaints.

But it turns out city officials had another chance to intervene on Aug. 11 — and again came up short.[..]

[..]A police report states that he entered a home on Avila Street in the Marina while the owner, who left the door unlocked, was out walking his dog. When the owner returned and found Hobbs standing in his hallway, he called police and told them the intruder kept saying, “I want a house like this.”

Hobbs, according to the report, initially told officers he was “Scott Peterson,” using the name of the California man who notoriously killed his pregnant wife.[..]
A social network suppressing discussion of "social" issues reminds me of that scene in Dr Strangelove: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
> people who would be successful and housed in cheaper markets

Do you have proof that they would, in fact, be successful? Have you tried running an RCT? Maybe they would't be able to find jobs, or have childcare available from family nearby.

I am surprised OpenAI didn't adjust the price of DALL-E 2 given the rise of free/low-cost competitors.

Granted, DALL-E appears to be buckling under demand regardless so the supply/demand curve doesn't warrant a price drop yet.
For some categories like realistic people, DALL-E is better.

Maybe, maybe not. The monthly cost wouldn't be identical due to taxes, difference in down payment (if also following best practices there), insurance, and that ignores potential future repairs (more expensive houses tend to be larger and/or fancier).

Which one are you comparing against? I've tried hundreds of prompts between SD and DALL-E and get comparable results. Midjourney was lagging for a while, but the new --testp parameter is really remarkable, which, in my view, makes it superior not only to Stable Diffusion but also to DALL-E as well.

it's like you have a sales person which as an isv partner will hook you up to a small presentation which does somebody else, however technical stuff can only be talked about by another team, the final contract can also only be done by somebody else, etc. heck their sales team is probably bigger than their developer team
Rent should be < 30% of income [1]. If the cost of housing is far more than that, then homelessness is expected. Where do service workers live? Do they drive from hours away via expensive gas? It's unsustainable unless there are artificial balances such as tax-paid subsidized housing.

Anyone who is chronically homeless should be offered jobs and paid housing. If that doesn't work, then they become a ward of the state and treated as a child.

You should flesh out your your own docs before showing it off. For the people that are buying documentation products they are comparing your product to many others including open source tools which come with substantially more evolved demonstrations of what they do.

Throwing stuff over the fence works for some markets and is generally encouraged by HN, but it doesn't for a lot of markets which have substantially more money to spend on these kinds of solutions. In return for more money, you need to withstand basic scrutiny.

Taking a druggie to live with you will destroy your home and your life. It's not voluntary.

Once they get detoxed though they're going to be looking for a room to rent and a friend and now your offer of help is both wanted and sustainable.
If the drug addicted were capable of operating their own cities, they already would be. They obviously need a non drug addicted population to support them.

Primary cause of homelessness in SF, according to a 2019 survey conducted by Applied Survey Research for the City of San Francisco:

Lost Job 26%
Alcohol or Drug Use 18%
Eviction 13%
Argument with Family or Friend Who Asked You to Leave 12%
Mental Health Issues 8%
Divorce/Separation/Breakup 5%

> Proposed solutions that don't involve incarceration should be ignored as unserious and unrealistic.

Incarceration has been our primary approach for dealing with drug addiction and mental illness over the last 42 years. It is extremely expensive, with cost-per-inmate figures ranging from $15K-64K depending on the state, with California being the most expensive. I don't know of any public policy experts, regardless of their political leanings who consider this an effective approach.

I think people fail to recognize that part of the push to "decriminalize" drugs and homelessness isn't necessarily bleeding-heart progressivism but calculated austerity: Prisons are full. We want murders, rapists and violent criminals locked up in them. We cannot do that if they are clogged up with people whose primary offenses were being mentally ill and/or drugs.

I understand that California in particular has been more lax the rest of the country, but coming from the midwest our hard-ass drug laws didn't prevent meth and then heroin from ravaging both urban and rural communities.

So if you do want to simply lock these people away, I think you also need the political will to do two very important things:

1) Provide evidence that spending $15,000-$65,000 to incarcerate a homeless drug addict will produce a better outcome than spending those same public tax dollars on something else that could also benefit society and/or the individuals in question.

2) Raise and invest tax money into prison infrastructure to house these people. This will likely mean hiking taxes and/or cutting them from things like education.
> What is unexpected is that the default value assigned to a non-provided argument is not consistent. In my example I show that the parameter "visited" has a default value of [] if no argument is passed in.

No you don’t. And calling a mutable value “not consistent” because it’s not immutable is just changing the words used after your mistake of immutable vs mutable. You haven’t done what you think you’ve done because you don’t understand that [] is not “a new empty list every time it is referenced”, but is just a single mutable list. So you’ve provided a default mutable value, which initially is [], but by the nature of being mutable might change in the future. And that is what gets used if there is no value provided. It’s exactly the same behavior as if you define a named variable with an initially empty list, and pass that list to the default. If you want it to be initiated to [] every time no argument is passed, then you need to initiate a new mutable list as the argument on each call. Just like you wouldn’t be able to define a named list once as empty, and expect every call of .append() to give you a new list with only one element.
You’ve passed a single list as the default, not a list imitator, or some crazy “spawns new empty lists on references” object.

And yes, you could have default arguments only support immutable values, then you would not be able to pass in a whole range of objects in defaults.
You're saying mentally ill, drug addicted people are capable of making rational decisions such as this. But in another thread, you also claimed that regular people who "would be successful and housed" in cheaper places don't make the seemingly rational decision to move away. How?
It gets odd in this distribution of potential customers because once your scale gets large enough again you're more than capable in theory of provisioning your own datacenters. MS, Google, and Amazon all have major public clouds while Apple and Facebook / Meta are deploying their own bare metal for their core infrastructure and some trace usage of the others most likely for compatibility reasons. Only Netflix is basically zero-DC in the new school infrastructure sense and even they used to have bare metal for old infrastructure like Oracle servers and Big Iron for I think accounting until so long ago.

The real target customer IMO for these big public clouds are non-technical corporations whose primary revenue and personnel competencies aren't derived from mastery of software but primarily around other verticals like agriculture, manufacturing, etc. Insert Werner Vogels' criticism of the HBR article emphasizing focusing upon core competencies and outsourcing non-core competencies like IT (read: because technology is so important to every business at scale now).
The way I put it is my son is a slice of bread away from hospital at any point during the day.

If he has bread and no insulin he will go dangerously high and if left untreated he will need to go to hospital.
If he has the insulin and doesn’t eat the bread he will go low have seizures then maybe death.

I am trying to understand what you are saying. Are you saying I should just give him a sandwich.
