Declarative is great if there is always one path to get to where you're going.

But I like to use the example of a Git repository where you've renamed and also changed some parts of a file. You commit the new state - was it a deletion and a brand new file, or a migration and modification of an existing resource? It's usually a non-issue because Git is smart, and files don't really care about their identity - but what if this was a database server and you need control over what happens when, and how things drain? Do you trust the system to choose the right path vs. "delete the database and make a new one?"

At some point you'll need imperative thinking to make sure your bases are covered, even if that is "we have a 3 phase rollout plan for different versions of the declarative config." And that's perfectly fine, in many cases. But it's important to never get into a cargo-cult level of "if it can't be done with one declarative change it shouldn't be done" - because then you'll either get stuck or light things on fire.
Sort of off-topic. I noticed they publish Universal, intel and arm builds for MacOS.
I’m struggling to understand why would they build all three? Why not do either universal or split arch?
With every bubble pop, exchange insolvency, token scam, crypto startup bankruptcy, we are getting closer and closer to the "real" value of bitcoin. Still ways to go I predict. However, I also do think that value is comfortably > 0.

Certainly major currencies have experienced periods of deflation (i.e. the Great Depression, the Great Recession, etc.). But deflation is a sign of weakening economy as well. There's an obsession with inflation, but the reality is that some inflation is inevitable in a growing economy as demand outpaces supply. Economists agree pretty consistently on that.
> The B round raised a billion dollars. Soon afterward came the “meme round”: $420.69 million from 69 investors.

Yikes.
Even then there are some mitigants: you could try to rent out your first home and rent or even buy a new one. Tax-wise that would work against you (usually, in most places), but it probably wouldn't bankrupt you.

I agree, of course you don't want to have bought right before a dip. But if you sketch out a few scenarios and look at the overall and your individual situation (eg, Would rental income cover credit payments, even in an adverse scenario? Do you have expenses you could claim in years when you're renting out? Do you have other uses for the property, eg within a family?), you might find that you can manage the risk (or not). It's definitely not risk-free, but there's also significant upside potential if you can make a long-term commitment.
My fiance did store tech support, and holy SHIT I cannot believe that place manages to function day to day. There was some weird system that support staff had to RDP into, but the server was set to Spanish. Instead of, I dunno, fixing the language, all the support staff were given a document with translations of everything they need to use.

There was another HR system that support staff again had to RDP into to change passwords or personnel details or something. But it was so horribly misconfigured that there was a delay of minutes between keypress on the staff's client and response from the server. This task routinely took half an hour to update a few text fields.

Also yeah, they totally fucked him on hours and pay. The real big problem was the constant verbal harassment from store employees who are angry about systemic IT issues that have gone unresolved for years. One store has their internet drop out every single weekend. There's a ticket that's been open for years with hundreds of notes because the manager calls every weekend to report it.
GDP was up last quarter. Probably this upcoming one, too. If there’s a recession coming, we aren’t in it yet.

And pods and not needing a daemon to run them among other things. Docker is still easier precisely because it has a daemon that automatically just starts up your countainers thay you've configured to run at startup, without the need to create systemd unit files.

You can't really predict the future like that.. there were lots of mp3 players, tablets, smart phones, smart watches etc. before the ones that "hit it off" and made a lot of money. I'd think the theory is Meta has the money to invest for the long term as the market is building and become a leader.
Meta has laid off 13.1% of their staff. My Silicon Valley friends were a bit high because they were guesstimating they'd lay off 15%+.
so reverting it is easier.

Only reverting the entire feature is easier. Reverting a single change (for example, because it introduced a bug but is not critical to the feature itself) becomes much harder after squash.
I made no such argument. It is counter productive and disengenous state otherwise.

I asked a question, no conclusions drawn. If I had a point, it's that the comment was off topic with regard to the comment it replied to, and warrants its own tree of discussion. It was a rant; There wasn't even an attempt at a segue or good faith effort to provide contrast.

What "gives me the right to decide how the discussion is framed" are the hn guidelines (which you violated yourself by presenting a strawman).

Hi HN! I am Eliza Wan. My team and I are building Markit AI (https://www.markit.ai/). We use AI to predict customer reactions (emotions, attention, and impressions) on ads, landing pages, and even packaging. You can basically see your ad from the eyes' of customers.

Our core feature provides:
- Predictions on customer emotions, attention, and impressions

- Clarity of the design

- AB test two similar designs

Note: We don't need any customer data input! Just a picture of your ads, posts, landing pages will do the work!

Please tell us what you think about the product. You can also share your ideas.

> The actual details hardly matter, this is a game played only by investors, and money is slowly draining.

and that's not controversial, I'm perfectly fine with that and everyone in the space should be just as objective about their risk profile. We both agree that any other sales pitch for crypto was grifter bingo.

I don't consider this platform for investors to be perfect yet, for example I don't consider any stablecoin overcollateralized by fiat to be 'good' and I don't consider any of the stablecoins overcollateralized by crypto to be great yet, there is a lot to build and a lot of value to extract building.
Is there a way to provide feedback to Kagi that a link isn't relevant in their search? Searching "us election results" for example gives me the results from 2020.
> Are doctors, scientists destroying pieces of our human heritage or blocking roads? Nope

Yes - several have. See this example of scientists carrying out a gluing protest and committing criminal damage: https://theconversation.com/extinction-rebellion-scientists-...

They were acquitted by the courts.

So do you think this particular women should be treated as a terrorist? https://news.sky.com/video/just-stop-oil-activist-bursts-int...

And should all these protestors (including doctors) who blocked a bridge - should they also be treated as terrorists? https://news.sky.com/story/climate-protesters-sit-in-road-an...

> just because they oppose the left (from where the term originated from), they aren't "nazis"

Who was talking about Nazis? There is nothing wrong with being more on the right side of the political spectrum. I don't affiliate myself as either left or right. I support politicians who will improve things for society and protect our environment and not see politics as a career to enrich themselves or gain power.

This particular politician who said the protestors are RAF like - Mr Dobrindt - seems to be one of those politicians who are in the pockets of big car manufacturers. He called the German Green Party a bunch of "Rioters, Stone throwers and Arsonists". That's extremely unprofessional.

But it seems you're in favor of treating young protestors as terrorists rather than finding solutions to get our leaders to act to adapt and avoid the worst outcomes of the climate crisis?

Don't look up, right?

> that your commitment here is with the agenda and not with the truth.

What agenda? What truth?
This is an important concept in my work. From experience, there is a pretty simple litmus test. It is pretty well understood that the word “imperative" denotes a system where the user describes a series of steps. The system executes the steps, in the end result bringing its universe to a desired state. The user does not need to describe what that is to the system, but a proof of correctness would decide whether that has been reached. Now, a declarative system is one where the user describes the desired end state and invariants on the admissible intermediate states of the universe. The system needs to figure out the current state of the universe, find the difference and find an admissible path to eliminate the difference. The litmus test to discern the two types of systems is whether the system concerns itself with the difference as a primary concept.

To give an example familiar to this forum: imagine we’re building a package. This can be set up imperatively with a shell script, or declaratively with GNU Make. Make will figure out which output files are missing or older than their input files, constituting a difference. It will figure out (topological sorting) an admissible path through computing a new up to date file from input files that are already up to date (re their own input files). Now that’s cool and all. But the same end result can be achieved way simpler if you can skip the diffing bit. If you assume you’re doing a clean build, you can order your build steps optimally in a shell script, skipping the now useless complexity. If there has been an abandoned rub that had some successful steps, your shell script will waste their results, but still end in a correct state.
PageRank was never as important to Google as Google said it was, the idea of indexing keywords that appear in link text was much more important.

It took years for peer-reviewed papers to show any benefit from PageRank at all, part of it is that a real relevance function has to balance the keyword x document influence vs the document influence and you don’t come out ahead ranking an irrelevant document highly if it has a high page rank. (E.g. a popular document that is irrelevant is… irrelevant)

If you believe the original paper, PageRank is simulating the density of a random walk over web pages and Google has been able to sample that density directly w/ Google Analytics, Chrome browser telemetry and all their other web bugs.
I agree with this as well. Efficiency is orthogonal to desirable outcomes.

My point is that things tend towards centralization because the market rewards efficiency.

I suspect the real reason it's still a thing is that it makes users more likely to click on ads, which is after all how most of the internet makes its money.
I suspect that one important part is to get rid of other people's ideas.

For example, in this discussion, currently the most upvoted answer says that your purpose must be a source of income. Well, not really. Some people have a day job to keep their bills, and write poetry at night, and they consider the poetry to be their purpose. Of course, it is awesome if your purpose can also become a source of income (because then you can spend more time doing it), but do not put the cart before the horse. First find out what your purpose is, only then start thinking about making money from it.

Similarly, "what you are good at doing" is a nice thing, but that often comes with practice. Do not give up on trying new things.

Try different things. Afterwards, notice the emotions connected with your memories of doing those things. Explore around the things that felt good; try doing something similar but different.
The issue wasn't the bank run. FTX could just have halted withdrawals, CEX do it all the time. The issue was FTT collaterized loans or equivalent, because they gambled too hard. And I doubt their users were aware of the risks, sBF himself guaranteed on Twitter the day before.
That wouldn't increase the dynamic range, it's just preventing the overlaps from clipping. Both tracks would still have the same dynamic range, the relative overall volume might be different for the track you lowered/increased to match the other one, but I doubt the transition between the two would be considered increasing the dynamic range.

In order to increase the dynamic range of a mastered track you would have to uncompress/master it in the first place. If you are just decreasing/increasing the overall volume, you would have the same dynamic range just at a quieter or louder listening level.
Events are the bane of automation existence.

Back in Windows-heavyweight app land, it made way more sense to interpose a low overhead shim to intercept and copy events.

Yes, sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to point out the tune everyone is dancing to out of inertia. If it happens often that people point out this issue then i’d take it a hint and reflect on it. Maybe there is an opportunity for creating something better, radically different not just an iteration, and maybe now is the time for it. We in tech have the personality and culture to re-invent when times are hard.

You don't need a purpose. Find something you enjoy doing and then keep doing that.
LTCM actually was doing a lot of the risk management people later said they should do. Their problem was the trades they were doing were more crowded than the realized and they couldn't unwind them cheaply because everyone else was doing the same thing. Plus once people realized they were struggling other market participants started betting against them. There have been other similar situations since then. In August 2007 most of the big quant funds lost double digit percentages in a few days when someone had to unwind a portfolio and statarb strategies stopped working.

It's an easier sell than $20/month, for example, especially since the idea of paying for search is already a hard sell for most people. Even if Kagi eventually fails, it'll be an interesting experiment and finally gives all the people who repeat "if you're not paying for it, you're the product" an opportunity to put their ideology into action.

In my opinion, ZSA have absolutely nailed it with the “Platform” for the Moonlander. It is absolutely perfect for tenting, adjustable to whatever angle you want and rock solid on the table. It can also pack down flat and still fit in the case. It’s still a pretty hefty set up though, I wouldn’t mind seeing them make some kind of mini version for out and about whilst either still keeping the same amount of keys or dropping the num row and the third button on the thumb pad which is too far to comfortably reach.

I am so happy with the set up that I am currently weighing up buying a second one despite the price and storing it away in case it all kicks off in Taiwan in the next couple of years and my Moonlander breaks. Sad that we have to consider such things now but possibly prudent.

For anyone interested:

Fusion on earth (that people talk about) is about generating electricity. Fusion on spacecraft is about shooting out exhaust gas as quickly as possible and storing energy at high density. The rocket equation relates the exhaust rate to the propelent mass requirements, which determines the feasibility of the spacecraft. It's a completely different optimization problem, and one that has historically favored nuclear energy sources in general.
You can? I sync multiple nextcloud accounts with Thunderbird. Calendars and contacts with caldav and carddav.
I don't entirely follow, though; the idea is that you want the people who pay you to be satisfied with what they're paying for so that they continue to do so, convince others to do so, and are willing to increase their spending. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be a conflict of interest for advertisers in the first place.

There's reasons that the incentive to keep the users satisfied may not be followed, but it's mostly tangential, and relates more to other forces than it does where the money comes from.
Hot take. As long as ads are clearly indicated, and non-promoted results are easily accessible and usable, I don't have a problem with Google relying on ad funding for their main development efforts. The amount of behavior they have made accessible to anyone for free has produced an immense amount of qualitative societal value. IMO this far outweighs the annoyance of ads present on various search results.
PageRank is gameable but harder to game than some of the competing algorithms (such as a straight link count.)

The real consequence PageRank had was that it got web pages to stop linking to each other…. Google gaslighted people into removing the competition they could have had navigating from one page to another through links. (e.g. web directories)
Considering the not so great outlook for the Tories at the next election (although there’s probably two years to go to the next election and a lot can happen etc etc), they might consider writing off the North to focus on a “blue wall” in the South to minimise losses, which might not bode well for Northern investment.
There are tons of vendors I actively use that accept crypto. Not as much as I'd like, but hardly no one.

Don't underestimate the significance of Ukrainians being white Europeans. I'm not saying it's right, but being what they are helps Ukrainians capture the attention of the Western world a lot more effectively than victims of wars in the Middle East. Absent any propaganda, I think this war would still get more attention from Western nations for this reason.

And besides the ethnic/race angle, it's also happening right on the doorstep of NATO, and is being perpetrated by the main adversary NATO exists to counter.

>You just repeated the same things.

Yes, I will repeat the evidence as long as you keep ignoring it, makes sense doesn't it?

>That's does not make Israel a terrorist state.

Doing acts of terrorism for 70+ years doesn't make Israel a terrorist state!?
Then what does?

>But the US has done some pretty horrible things too. That doesn't make it a terrorist state either.

Whataboutism + Non sequitur.

>Now Hamas is a literal terrorist state. Curious you don't mention that. It might have something to do with your preconceived notions.

I never claimed that they weren't, but you are still engaging in whataboutism. Curiously tho, you label them as terrorists without giving any evidence, while I have given you enough evidence that Israel itself is guilty of similar and much worse crimes, yet you label one as terrorist and refuse the label for the other, little dishonest aren't you?!
And hamas is as much or less a terrorist organization as the ukrainian azov are. Most people have the education to recognize that people have an internationally recognized right to defend their lands. That's why Palestinians have the right to resist israeli colonization, because it's self defense, while israel is fighting a war of aggression based on colonialist ambitions, the evidence has been given and I will continue to repeat the evidence as long as you keep ignoring it.

It's clear by now that you have no interest whatsoever in making arguments based on evidence, but you rather follow a fixed narrative which you have chosen based on anything but evidence. This is clear to any objective follower and reader of the discussion.
I would think people with tidy writing get better grades all else being equal
