The best humans play at an Elo rating of 2800. “Stockfish,” the most powerful chess engine, has an estimated rating of more than 3500.

This may be the most terrifying statement I've read all year. From parity to ovewhelming dominance in two decades. And it may just be approaching the base of the S curve. I for one welcome ...

There used to be this fantasy that the best player would be a human augmented by a computer, optimally blending their respective gifts into the best moves. Ha. Nowadays it would be like a baby in a crib helping a heavyweight champ.
Thinking it's bullshit and that they will ignore it is a totally different conspiracy theory than misreading the guideline and thinking it prioritizes people of fighting age over children.

Those at highest risk are infants and children, as well as pregnant and nursing females because of the potential for KI to suppress thyroid function in the developing fetus and the newborn.
The OP was asking if it's worth spending the time and effort to understand and use Kubernetes, nothing about hiring for it. In other words, from the programmer/sysops side, it's very much worth learning. Learn Go while you're at it, if you don't already know it. Nearly everything in the k8s ecosystem is written in Go, and there are lots of conventions in the space that make more sense if you know Go conventions.
Probably most of them. You'll find out in 3 months after they are re-elected.
You are not restricted to VLANs for isolation purposes. You can consider the entire PoE switch LAN as compromised. Then firewall the NVR, which would connect to that switch to pull the cameras streams. Any software in the cameras don't need to see WAN at all.
In other words, SQLite is clear evidence that using “modern” tools, “best” practices etc. is not necessary to creating world class software.

And other projects clearly demonstrate that using “modern” tools and “best” practices often still result in really bad low quality software.

So in conclusion: “modern” tools and “best” practices are empirically proven to not be important when it comes to creating world class software.
I wouldn't take this to mean that everybody cheats, or everybody at the top cheats, as a sibling comment has stated. Wikipedia cites the number of grandmasters as "almost 2000" so even 100 GM cheaters is still a small amount (modulo the ones no longer living I guess, who likely are not playing on chess.com). Elsewhere in the report chess.com gives a figure for number of players they believe have cheated on the site from total player base of 0.14%.
I wonder if they cause car accidents. There is some on the highway here with hard to read text. But just the billboard might be distracting enough.
I'd be quite alright with banning (or at least heavily regulating) illuminated billboards. Those are indeed very distracting, and the light pollution concern is valid.

Billboards in general, though? I live in a place with lots of billboards and they're pretty easy to ignore. I don't really see the upside here to what would constitute a freedom of speech/expression infringement.

I think the more reasonable emphasis should be on regulating the light escaping from a property, not micromanaging the property itself. Limit the lumens or whatever in various protected directions (into the sky, onto roadways, etc.) and that would address the entirety of the actually-valid concerns.
> Go read around HN and tell me about a product you just heard about being praised that you don't already know about today that is not already the de facto solution or product in a space.

Easy. This morning in the "Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?" thread I saw multiple users mentioning a open source project I have never heard of but seemed very close to what i was looking for. I have it now running since 12 hours and I already recommended a friend to check it out.

I reckon about 70% of things I use are from recommendations of people (but usually not from the internet). From what command-line shell I use to what music I listen to.
> What instance decides, if some printed money does or does not have collateral?

A great question. No actual decision is made, it's just that there are more dollars floating chasing the same value, so the price in dollars gets bid up.
I'm curious, how are you running SD on podman? I'm looking to build an ML rig, preferably linux, and AMD cards looked... like a hassle compared to Nvidia in my cloud GPU instance testing.
They are not quite the same thing. Pelikan has the building blocks for an RPC server, storage, wire protocols, data structures, and whatever code that is needed to glue these together in some form to provide functionalities as a service (which is loosely defined, it can be a proxy too).

CacheLib, in terms of the role it plays, is closer to the modules under src/storage, but obviously in itself a lot more sophisticated in design to handle tiered memory/SSD storage.

We actually have been in touch with CacheLib team since before their public release. And we remain interested in integrating CacheLib into Pelikan as a storage backend as soon as their Rust bindings become functional :P
ubo handily deals with the first and third, and everything in a shopping site is trying to advertise to you anyways by definition
They use hydrofluoric acid to balance the pH, then go skinny dipping.
It would require the PR person to commit career suicide - Ring's usage of words like "security" and " protect" in their descriptions of the camera systems, coupled with the fact that neither Ring nor Nest has a hardwired network option (or, better yet, PoE), there is hardly a surprise there.
"understand any modern ML paper"

I believe 7 people read an academic paper on average. (1 of those is a mother).
I think this has more to do with our inability and unwillingness to teach calculus from a practical perspective - somehow stubbornly shying away from measuring the acceleration imposed by gravity, building trebuchets, looking at planetary orbits or doing tests with growth of bacteria in school.

I'm reminded of a short aside by Wilde:

> “He looks just like an angel,” said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their bright scarlet cloaks and their clean white pinafores.

> “How do you know?” said the Mathematical Master, “you have never seen one.”

> “Ah! but we have, in our dreams,” answered the children; and the Mathematical Master frowned and looked very severe, for he did not approve of children dreaming.

I know. I’ve been an emacs user for 30 years, but I tend to just call them buffers. In the old days when I would be using a PPP or SLIP connection into a dialup Unix, my whole screen would be Emacs in VT100 mode so it made a lot more sense to thing of them as windows back then.
It's far more likely I don't understand the law, but the discussion had turned from bundling to monopoly and antitrust questions, and I stand by my statements, as confirmed in the source I linked.
As someone whose computing career was improved by learning to touch-type in grade school (Mom had been a secretary, saw that these "personal" computers had keyboards, and bludgeoned the high school to let me in to the summer-school typing class) it's not actually the speed that matters - though that does certainly impress people - it's that it's "automatic". If you're not thinking about letters and where they are, you aren't distracted from the entire sentence (or function) you're holding in your head - it just pours out through your hands into the machine.

(Sometimes I joke about how my hands know emacs, not my brain - but if someone asks me what keys I hit for something, my fingers move and then I work backwards from that.)

(And if you're collecting correlations - I have no musical performance talent at all and have spent maybe 10 hours total poking at musical keyboards - for me, typing is all typing, I expect musical keyboarding is a related but parallel thing, not the same thing.)
That's an easy one: your product is good only for some people, who happen to have the problem you're solving. You could tell everyone about it, but you'd reach a lot of people for whom wasting time hearing about your product is a net negative, and it's entirely possible that the overall value to other people's lives of advertising in that way would be negative as well. Of course you could try more targeted advertising to mitigate the negative externalities, but that carries its own costs in terms of invasion of privacy, etc.

So yes, it's certainly possible that advertising raises the overall well-being of the recipients, but it's by no means a given.
Sure, buy it and spruce it up and then sell it on, because that's cheaper and more profitable than heading into ten years of litigation a la Google and Oracle.
It took a few days for me to put my finger on it, but lack of advertising was something that stood out to me when I visited Cuba almost a decade ago. Your visual environment has space to breathe. Although, another difference in Cuba was the presence of regime propaganda in some of that visual space.

Growing up in Chicago's suburbs, the highways are awash in billboards. I never noticed it until living elsewhere. But in the town I grew up in, public ads were much less common.

It's interesting the ways in which the commercial exploitation of the visual environment plays out differently in different societies. But I'm a fan of far less advertising in public spaces, where you can't really consent. And I think it's interesting that the ways in which the internet attention economy lays bare the commodification of attention might bring more awareness of that mm dynamic in contexts where it has been underexamined.
I'm not seeing how it's relevant whether or not the word of mouth of this particular product has reached you.

You were telling someone that he's out of touch for thinking that he can sell a product on word of mouth alone. I'm providing evidence that he can sell a product through word of mouth because I bought his product based on word of mouth.

Whether or not you've also heard of his product is irrelevant. There's a near infinite number of successful products in the world that you've never heard of, so you being unaware of a particular product does not indicate anything about whether that product is successful.
> Matter/thread is nothing like zigbee, except the MAC layer is the same.

Matter actually uses an iteration of the Zigbee device model - from an application level they are actually somewhat similar

> I don't know why you think your zigbee devices will be upgradeable to thread - that strikes me as quite unlikely

Most Zigbee radios are dual Zigbee/Thread since both protocols are build on 802.15.4. I suspect that the limitation is going to be on manufacturers rather than hardware limitations
My understanding of the Russian sub captain that I'm aware of is that he was able to explain it clearly - it appeared that only one missile had been fired, and he knew it made absolutely no sense that the US would start a nuclear war by firing a single missile.
I'm against most advertising as well, but affiliate advertising is a very known thing. Consider MLMs as a model (a disgusting one at that) but friend-marketing is a thing.

Advertising that informs can be a net positive. Advertising that does anything else is a large waste of resources, IMHO.
love to see this kind of hackery
You can use Protected Management Frames (PMF) with both WPA2 and WPA3, they are mandatory for the latter. Not sure what you mean with DFS band - remember that on any 5 GHz radar channel where an AP is communicating, stations can assume the AP has done the necessary pre clearing. Deauthing is illegal in any scenario.

Brute jamming of course will affect any encryption you use.
It was in the 70s and copiers. From Wikipedia:

“Following these years of record profits, in 1975, Xerox resolved an anti-trust suit with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which at the time was under the direction of Frederic M. Scherer. The Xerox consent decree resulted in the forced licensing of the company's entire patent portfolio, mainly to Japanese competitors. Within four years of the consent decree, Xerox's share of the U.S. copier market dropped from nearly 100% to less than 14%.[31]”

> do not work with modern tools like git

That is VERY misleading and intentionally so, doesn't put a good light on the author.

Sure SQLite isn't open for contribution but their tolling (VCS, issue tracking) is in no way "less modern" then git+github, it is just focused on a different approach.

Putting a widely used open source but not open contribution project on GitHub is a nightmare. Similar if your are having no open contribution and only a small trusted team then you can use change flows not viable otherwise and their VCS is designed for such design flows for which git has quite a bunch of unnecessary overhead and food guns.

Lastly for many project choosing no open contribution is a very sane approach properly maintaining contributions for a widely used project is a lot of work basically forcing you to delegate a lot of work to people you hardly know. If you don't have time for this or don't feel good with trusting people you hardly know then open contribution can easily become a night mare. The fact that you AFIK have to be very disciplined to write C doesn't make this better.

Putting this aside another thing I found of putting in the article is that the author fails to mention that basically all of the things he wants to have in SQLit are in direct conflict with core design principles of SQLite. So they need a fork anyway independent of weather or not SQLite accepts contributions, their changes wouldn't be accepted anyway...

Through without question for their use cases a new database is needed which is similar to SQLite but also in subtle but very fundamental ways very different. Starting it with a fork doesn't seem a bad idea. But they really should not say/imply it's SQLite it's not sqlite, it's just very similar and once was forked of SQLite.
I'm sorry, but "art appreciation is way better brain exercise than calculus" is just an extremely silly assertion.

Not because the opposite is what's true, but because it's bizarre to compare them in the first place.
> Elon can probably terminate or “manage out” 80%+ of the employees without harming the underlying business meaningfully

People keep saying insane stuff like this as if the site just runs itself. That is absolutely not the case.
<template> is special, very different from display: none; and definitely has a few advantages:

- The elements in it are parsed into a different document and are inert until cloned or adopted into the main document. Images don't load, scripts don't run, styles don't apply, etc. This is very important.

- The content model validation is turned off, so a <template> can contain a <td>

- Mutation observers and events are not fired for parsed content.

- The <template> element itself can appear anywhere, including restricted content elements like <table>

- Other HTML processing libraries generally know to ignore <template>, unlike other content just hidden with CSS.

This makes parsing faster and guaranteed to have no side effects, and conveys the correct semantics to the browser and tools.
I have always found questions like "when are we going to use this" repulsive. It is the mark of an individual who sees themselves as little more than a slave, forced to learn things to stay useful.

The logical conclusion of this would be a world where everyone only knows exactly what is required of them and nothing more. Answering this question would miss the whole point. What ever happened to general knowledge? Don't you want to understand a fundamental part of how the universe in which you exist works?

If you don't know calculus I consider you illiterate and unable to understand much of world you live in, just like you are illiterate if you don't know that the earth is round (and why would you need to know that, I wonder?).
> they're pretty easy to ignore

I’m not doubting your experience but that reminds me of when people say they browse the web without adblockers. Could it just be desensitization?
I started writing Python at work again after not using it for many years and was surprised at how useful type definitions are in modern Python. The notation is slightly awkward but it works well enough to provide a lot of the maintenance benefits of static types.
of course now anyone who can be traced to a wallet that interacts with these coins is now a criminal for receiving stolen goods, or obstruction of justice or probably a dozen other things.
No surprise here. They're probably lying low, trying to figure out how to spin their cheerleading into something positive. Or, if we're lucky, they'll all just keep quiet.
"Memorizing statistical formulas made sense when computation was expensive"

Statistics is way more than formulas. It's easy enough to learn and, if you understand it, so applicable to one's life that it should be one of the principle courses in school.

Here are some basic ideas where it will help.

- helps you understand why the most dangerous part of any flight is the time you spend in a car not the plane.

- why it's useless to try to break even at a gambling establishment

- why the best way to win at the lottery is to never buy a ticket

- why birth control is good at its function but it's not absolutely secure

I can go on for hours.

Statistics needs to be part of any educational reform. It's so useful
Haha, that reminds me of what my hang gliding instructor told me right before I took my first solo flight. I was very anxious despite good preparation and kept asking him edge case questions, and he cut me off and said "listen, what you need to do is get up in the air, and then... don't suck."
I agree that on or in public transport is fair for advertising- but I strongly dislike billboards that block interesting views of buildings, poke their brightly coloured cheeks into the skyline or glare brightly into lofts and apartments.
One of the differences is that advertisers on public transport are often highly censored- where as the car-yard or similar can go for the cheapest artist, horrid paint, off-colour humour. Some advertising- like some tv, is actually quite good, as a form of art. For examples of this, - and some general roasting of the advertising industry, check out episodes of "the gruen transfer" by Australian national broadcaster ABC.
By that definition Amazon RDS is an off-brand MySQL (and PostgreSQL too). We're perfectly happy to be in their company.
No kidding. We are finally done with “the unreasonable effectiveness of…” and “what we talk about when we talk about…”, and now we have the spread of “quiet…”
San Francisco is actually central California (Eureka is northern CA). Same premise.
Because you'd have to carry an axe, and be a smart enough burglar to even think to do,this, when you can just pick a home without an alarm?
The Chess.com anti cheat system, as described by the report, is set up to handle blitz and bullet. This makes sense, both because it's most of what is played on the site, and because it's so much easier to detect cheating in that environment: A whole lot of engine recommendations would be bananas if a human played them in blitz, and finding major mistakes is very challenging under such time pressure. Evaluating when to play a secondary or tertiary line under pressure, instead of what the engine says, is also challenging. Along with the metadata of thinking time, or whether someone tabbed out of the screen, it's unsurprising that cheating is pretty detectable.

On the other hand, in OTB classical chess the difficulty is in bypassing the security controls. Players are much closer to engines, and far fewer moves appear to be completely inhuman. Furthermore, with an accomplice that is also quite good at chess, those lines could just be discarded. This makes it much easier to both play very good moves that are not all that suspicious, and take enough time to "sell" the thinking time.

This doesn't mean Hans cheated over the board, just that without very good physical security, any unscrupulous GM could gain 300-400 points virtually undetected, other than from the fact that they are playing much better than they used to. If security is a top priority, at the very least we need to do what the Sinquefield cup did in the last few rounds: No spectators and a 15 minute delay, so that all communication with computers/co-conspirators has to include the player relaying all the moves out before they can get any help.
The site is working normally for me.
Most of us are subjected to computers everyday too.
Is this similar to https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists ?
One reason is because large companies just started freezing hiring and firing people... there's a bunch of other reasons though... did you look at the debt? how much money they are printing, etc... etc... etc..
I think you should clarify that by a much smaller country you mean largest country in Europe.

You also seem to be purposefully misinterpreting the OP's point about what is being considered "casual". Whether you think Putin is irrational or not has no bearing on the fact that most of our leaders seem to be treating a potential nuclear war after decades of shuttle diplomacy indeed very casually.
This is not true. I suspect it is a myth, I've heard it for decades now.

My position is that visual pollution is not such a great concern that we should restrict how someone paints their building.

Because other democracies tend to have functioning police oversight and populations that are not openly hostile to the police. QI is actually rooted in English common law, so similar concepts exist in other countries that also adopted the system.

I would recommend reading the blog post; I think there is context you have missed.

I'm describing interactions here I am having with my peers, not people I'm in a service relationships with. We are practicing a highly-skilled trade, and acknowledging the times our skill pays off isn't a "continuous din", or even "positive reinforcement". It is just refusing to be dour sourpusses who have to pretend our work isn't super cool.

Code reviews are most closely akin to a Writing Workshop. When someone in a writing workshop says, "that description evoked Oregon in spring" or whatever, it isn't banal positivity: it is specific feedback on how the craft is functioning.
> is a form of advertising

In modern parlance, word of mouth is a form of marketing. Advertising is “an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea” [1]. (Also, word of mouth has strong incumbency bias. The printing press was revolutionary for a reason.)

Is it just me, or does it look like some of the rooms have body-parts in them?
Throughput is often where an RDBMS falls over here. Unless you have partitions/isolation around your high throughput workloads (or throw tons of horsepower/$$$ at it) you can’t achieve the same ops/sec as a dedicated queueing mechanism.

But you do have a lot of valid points, particularly about failure recovery. My approach tends to involve a hybrid of the two if high speed is a necessary component somewhere. The system can restore its runtime state from a db, but the active mechanics of it are running on message passing of some kind.
