You're still not addressing my points.

What is the big problem that serverless solves?

What does it promise and what does it actually deliver?

Infinite scalability? It only solves the easiest part of it.

Cost reduction? As you seem to admit, generally this is only true at small scale.

Security updates? Fair enough, but this has never been the real problem. If you're at a point where security updates are that important you will unlikely leave them in the hands of a third party.

My bet is that what you're attributing to the benefits of serverless are not inherent to the serverless itself and are just benefits of infrastructure built around it.
Full nodes do, sure. But the point stands. Who controls which blocks are proposed and validated? Whoever can buy the most nodes and miners.
because

- only 2 of those regions broke away in 2014 and not 4

- more than half of the population run away either in 2014 of this year

- one of those regions only 1/3 to 1/2 under control of russia but they claim sovereignty over entire regions

- 2 of those regions were captured by russia 6 months ago

- voter participation is extremely low. For example I saw numbers that in Kherson region voted 34k people out of 1m population (most probably run away)

- same happened in Zaporizhzhia. More than half of population of Zaporizhzhia region is located in Zaporizhzhia and it's suburbs that are under ukrainian control

- because there are plenty of videos showing empty ballots been counted by person that doesn't even look at them as they take them out of the box

- military personal walking around with "referendum committee" and bunch of reports that people that voted "no" had their documents taken away and those ballots thrown away.

- 97% "yes" vote, totally not suspicious
I always thought the VCs rolled a D20 to determine if an investment is worthwhile or not.
A dollar a gallon direct air capture carbon tax would make gasoline net carbon negative.

Clearly, that would lead to mass hysteria and societal collapse.

Does tumblr really hijack the browser back button? I tried to get back to HN from that link by hitting the back button, but I got redirected back to the tumblr article. I could have just closed the browser tab, but a long-press on the back-button allowed me to select this HN page from the recent history. Why does anyone still do this? Do they really think I give in and stay reading/browsing tumblr forever instead of doing what I had planned?
IMHO that's better called "premature complexity".

You shouldn't even need to profile to realise that if you're using a serial port for I/O, unless your hardware is something embedded and in the low-MHz, range, you'll spend most of your time waiting for I/O unless you massively overcomplicate your solution.
On an open sourced application, I could submit this as a bug in a bug tracker. Does Microsoft Connect still exist for everyone?
> I can't imagine a black mirror episode that starts with giving the protagonist autonomy and freedom instead of preventing it.

I was confused by how your comment related to what you were replying to, until I realized you just assumed that a child can't possibly be deserving of any autonomy at all, or even be considered a protagonist.
Is their technology impressive compared to competitors? I still don't know what "negative latency" mean, was it marketing hype?
And also accounting rules not really being well factored for the pension use case.

Can we just shut down all these grifter tech companies? They seriously all become grift overtime. There should be just a law in place that the moment your company forgoes functionality for ad revenue or other downright irritating means, your company immediately dissolves, and the CEO forfeits their shares.

Right, from what they're saying, they're pulling the key out of the claims to verify the token.

No it doesn't make sense.
Trump was kicked off of Twitter and Facebook. Does he have any trouble getting his message out?

No one stops people from going to Trump rallies.

There are plenty of ways to get your message out if people want to hear it. It’s work. But it can be done.

Hindu tradition state that it directly led to elaborate literature and rich story telling. Puranas [1] and epics like the Ramayana [2] and Mahabharata [3] were orally transmitted as well. The point being that the Vedas are pretty terse which makes it hard to understand or apply without specialized knowledge / background. The Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharata provide context via stories etc..

The laffer curve is a reasonable hypothesis but your single data point does not prove it. You're cherry-picking.

Your citation is the daily mail. You're scornful of experts, and self-satisfied. You're gammon, aren't you?
> Sure, some people can find it useful but IMHO that's not a product, at least a good one.

It's the start of a product, but it's going to keep improving. Already with inpainting and outpainting we see some new possible uses. What NovelAI (which builds on Stable Diffusion) has shown so far of their upcoming release seems impressive, though it's hard to say how much of that is cherry picking.

> Rolling the dice multiple time and using some of the outputs is not good enough for most applications.

Hmm, is that true? I feel like most of the time art that companies want is something made far ahead of the consumer seeing it, so generating a 100 versions of something and picking the best seems fine, especially if you can then use inpainting and img2img to fine-tune it.
I don't understand the relevance of this. The claim is about what "half of Russia thinks". Why would propaganda in Africa have a strong effect on the thought of those in Russia?
It's not about right of way. It's about being safe. I realize this because I drive defensively. If you can't drive according to the rules, don't drive.

Eh, public stars and forks on OSS repos is a really valuable indicator of whether to seriously consider using a library IMO.

Not like, 3k vs 8k, but like 200 vs 0... help me understand if this is this a hobby project someone wrote and abandoned in a few days.
It should be noted that Sega released their analog controller for the Saturn before Nintendo released theirs.
The ones I use most, aside from a couple of what you mentioned above, are wallabag (for reading) and a note taking app.
The problem solved by SA is equivalently solved by a scalable multiplex IO syscall like kevent and userland scheduling. There's no particular need for the upcall if blocking information is available another way. I think it's dead.
Hold on, this is backward. They said:

> You should not use Thing X because the advantage it has over Thing Y is not an advantage. In fact both Thing X and Thing Y have the same disadvantage. Except that Thing X has a workaround and Thing Y doesn't. But that workaround adds (gasp!) complexity! Obviously, we only ever use Thing Y and you're a bad developer if you use Thing X.

It's smoke and mirrors. They never give an advantage of bearer tokens over, well, JWT barer tokens, which are a type of bearer token, the thing they said they use. They just said JWTs don't actually have one specific advantage, except when they do. That's not an argument against JWTs!

> increased attack surface due to complexity of JSON parsing/validation

People who use JWTs are already parsing JSON everywhere. It's not hard. If it's not valid JSON, clearly you don't authenticate.

> misconfiguring JWT libraries to allow no signature

You can misconfigure anything. You can misconfigure your server to not actually check the bearer token. Why is it more likely you'll forget to check the JWT signature than the bearer token? This is something you write one time and never touch; it takes an afternoon at most.

> leaking data to users because you thought JWTs were encrypted

Yes, you should not put sensitive data in a JWT, encrypted or not. This is a fair criticism.

> Technically you can just have a single long lived bearer token instead of a long lived refresh token, and a short lived access token.

Which, as they pointed out in that article, is a disadvantage of long-lived bearer tokens.
The key difference between being banned from Facebook and being hanged by the government is that in one case you die and in the other case you are mildly inconvenienced.

I got mine at the start of july, I am at 3.27tb/2.12tb for my 16GB/256GB M1 Air in 78 hours, 11 unsafe shutdowns. I use it as a browser (excessive firefox tabs) and discord client and terminal mostly, light dev stuff (fast in intellij lol) etc. Kinda whatevs, that's what the swap is there for, I'm not worrying about my SSD getting used up in only 15 years or whatever.

I keep half an eye on the task manager (put it on the dock) and if you see red (kernel time) start to really spike up it can indicate swapping and it's time to reconsider your tabs. It can be other things too but it's one thing to keep an eye on. It's 16gb, it's not infinite, and if you have 1000 tabs open then yeah you're probably going to want to close some before you start something else, but, it's reasonable for consumption or light personal dev work (especially if you have a fileserver that could run containers/DBs). It's not gonna omg burn out the SSD the first time you have 100 tabs open.

8GB would be really really tight though, I'd imagine those machines might be swapping quite a bit more, that's a very low RAM spec other than for a consumption machine or terminal. And I wouldn't say no to more at 16gb either, too bad there's such a price increment on M2 24GB or MBP 14"/16".

Someday it'd be nice to move up to a 64gb spec and just have all the RAM, but there's other things I'd rather do, the MBA is fine for around the house etc, and I wanted to build a beefy fileserver to host services/containers anyway.
I wish the world could stop obsessing over how rich the richest people are, and instead obsess at how poor the rest are increasingly becoming.
There was a great WSJ piece about this recently [1]. It's a mistake to frame it as a passive mistake by Russia — there was some truly incredible spontaneous thinking and heroism on Ukraine's part that turned it into a traffic jam / deathtrap.

In a slightly different world, if a couple dozen people had been less committed to stopping the blitz, it could have ended very differently.

Thanks, I will look at it, aware it’s out, know when he was pitching it that to me there appeared to be factual inaccuracies, but after spending far amount of time trying to sort it out, gave up; specifically his meat recommendations not only didn’t appear to add up — but he also appeared to have conflicting interests via number of different investments; which in turn, lead to me questions it in sum.

I know Bill has had a lot of experience dealing with global efforts, learned a lot, and even has had number of clever ways to get people to listen. Issue to me is that at 10,000 reviews on Amazon, I figure that if there was actual new and useful information it would have already made a difference; quick look at the one-star reviews makes me wonder how to evaluate his take on what progress means.

And yes, completely agree it going to take a number of solutions, mainly mentioned $100 trillion solution since to my friend, and I guessing a lot of people, they just keep wishing there was a magic, cheap solution — but there’s not; which to me is largest problem, individuals not acknowledging billions of people need to change, this is not about just throwing money or technology at the problem.
Same thing in other faang companies, even with employees, who got the promotion and got hunting for another one. You won't get promoted for supporting an existing project.
There are some bits that just simply cannot be translated. For example, you can’t just “translate” a stdlib function from a high level language into a low level language, there’s likely no comparison in the low level language.
> Because they believe that tax cuts will ultimately stimulate the economy at a time when people are experiencing increased cost of living.

It doesn't make any sense from what I understand because we are raising interest rates to cool down the economy and lowering taxes to heat up the economy. I am not an economist but I think we should be pushing in the same general direction.
If pensions trade risk for stability, then why does this article exist?
It has its own almost-opposite problem in only counting employees who did leave.
> They didn't think "what do people want?", or even go Apple and think "what COULD people want, if we showed them why they wanted it?".

Precisely - as Steve Jobs observed, sometimes people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Stadia does seem like a solution in search of a problem. For Microsoft a relevant problem is "How can we enable smartphone (or other non-console, non-PC computing device) gamers to play (and rent/pay for) Xbox games without porting them to/shrinking them onto Android or iOS and without cannibalizing the sales of Xbox consoles or Windows PCs?" But Google doesn't exactly have that problem.

Stadia does solve the problem of "how can I play (some) PC games on my phone/smart TV/PC without a great graphics card." So it does provide some clear user benefit, but it doesn't have compelling advantages over other cloud gaming services, and it doesn't seem to align directly with Google's business interests.
that is the problem exactly with the "stigmatizing" thing

any research that finds that X is worse at Y must be wrong somehow because we know it cannot possibly be like that - so we are not publishing it at all - no discourse is allowed on the matter

one censor decides what is "stigmatizing"

All funds use margin as a liquidity mechanism. If it takes a few days to settle funds and you need cash right away, you dip into your margin
They probably had him watch a training video or two, so it's more of an embellishment.
This is actually the clearest, simplest explanation I’ve read (including Matt Levine’s).

I think this is the first time moral hazard made sense to me from an operational perspective. The fund manager who in old days would feel bad about risking retirees money, now legitimately feels okay knowing there’s no way they’ll go hungry.

Unfortunately there’s no easy way out of this.
Levering up for higher returns, possibly encouraged by absurd accounting rules.
Yes, like a war machine is impressive and fascinating in its systems and parts, while the external effects are horrifying and appalling.
The argument is clear. Bitcoin is bad because most of Hacker News missed the boat and because the environment is an easy excuse. Meanwhile, inefficient webshit such as Slack running on millions of computers or sending megabytes of traffic over the Internet for basic shit is fine, because those produce acceptable money. Also, it's much harder to estimate the energy waste from constantly surveilling people to send Turing-complete advertisements to their phones but, again, those make USD, so they're okay.
"possible homelessness"? For someone who at least met the bar for getting hired by Microsoft? On the contrary, I think that individual would easily find a job somewhere else.
There actually are a few small local cellular providers with their own infrastructure. Then they have expensive roaming if you go out of their area, at least, that's how the local one to me does it.

While the explanation is relevant to this recent election, it doesn't apply to the earlier referendums which have all been denounced as illegitimate by Kyiv and the West. The first (but not only) referendums for independence from Kyiv were in 1991 in Crimea and 2014 in Donbas.
I know this is a very late reply, but I'm curious. How often does it align that the functional argument that you want to specify is in the correct position of the argument list that you get to make use of this feature? The times that I need to partially apply are slim, and I don't believe it's consistent that they're on the same side all the time.

The lambda keyword is long which makes it a pain, but currying really is equivalent to specialised partial application right? People seem to love currying so much I feel like I don't understand something here.

For context I work a lot with java, R, and Python which all have anonymous functions and higher order functions, but are all decidedly _not_ "functional languages".
Also now Wine+Proton works well thanks to Valve. Even if Microsoft dropped compatibility support in the future, some games can be run on Linux.
Sounds like a pretty reasonable test. I've heard from multiple people who worked in the nuclear weapons industry that said that the random, way out of their league women stopped hitting on them once their clearances expired.
The pure volume of projects spurred on by the release of Stable Diffusion source code is staggering
The custom LCD is ~1$ in bulk, PCB maybe $1-2, Microswitches can be had for like $1-2 usd per 100, probably another $2 in bits and bobs (passives, battery holder).

CPU is just a cortex M3 IIRC, probably some ADC/DAC, so maybe $5-7 for the "brain" of the thing ?

Then shipping, handling, rest of manufacturing (arguably very simple, no case, just board with components).

So there is probably still a healthy margin left, not anywhere near "absurdly low", just at that price the volume helps a lot.

> (why is OP-1 so absurdly high?!).

Coz they know people will buy it. They hold that price used too.
Humanity’s ability to adapt is extremely limited as it relates to global climate changes — and odds of humanity existing in the billions or more anywhere else is also unlikely too.

If you have an reasonable explanation of why either of my statements are flawed, happy to listen.
Harbor is amazing - use it a ton for imgs and charts. It just works, is lightweight, and airgap friendly.
The echo.

I'm sorry.

In my defense, I said it was a horrible idea at the time, we'd have to stream everyone's audio to the cloud to get the keyword spotting to work...

Also, Lab126 did not create e-ink! E-ink came out of the Media Lab long before the first kindle.

I'm glad that they're finally making one with a stylus, when I was there (more then a decade ago) there was a prototype tablet you could write on that had a brilliant new sort of user interface.

I tried it with Erlang. Their "Sample Code 2" does not generate working code (lowercase variable assignments), and their "Sample Code 3" does not even generate valid syntax, flat out leaving bits of typescript untranslated.
The “big hosting companies” are only a tiny slice of how people run servers.

There is no “monopoly” on running servers and connecting them to the internet.
What on earth? I didn't say anything remotely interpretable as the first straw man thing you tried to make me say.

Governments aren't exerting control over private companies to deplatform fascists. Thankfully, the private companies are doing that themselves, as is their well-proven, well-supported first amendment right. Google "compelled speech" if you need a primer on this.

I understand that fascists would love it if they were heard all the time, incessantly, everywhere, and that anything less makes them burst out into tears of victimization. I guess Fox News being a bona fide propaganda platform now directly supporting Putin and Orban isn't enough for you guys. What a shame, it must be so distressing.

i am sorry but we (i make music in my spare time) need to worry.

to echo what the comment above is saying. not because this AI generated music is good. but because it is good enough for the vast majority! and this concerns other fields as well. the consumption economy has set the bar for music and entertainment in general very low. most people don't know (or think) that the bar is low. because they have not experienced anything better and probably never will.

what's gonna happen next will be sad.

Kudos to the author for being honest with their struggles being a parent and a full-time employee. I've encountered similar struggles, especially during hard times (major health issues with my wife, specifically) that ended with me being forced out of a position and company I had been with for 10+ years.

It was a difficult, dark time, that's still resolving itself. Having gone through that experience, you question whether you still have the ability to focus as you once did. That, plus the obvious changes that come as you get older, has been difficult to grapple with.

Thankfully, I am now at a company with decent work/life balance and very understanding team. I still suffer from a sort of PTSD, though, where I am always doubting whether the kind words I receive from co-workers and managers are just window dressing and wondering when the other shoe will drop.

If OP is here, just know that you aren't alone. I hope you find peace and enjoy this time with your kids.
