I work as a Product Manager at Timescale. :)

The data tiering feature will be only available in the Timescale cloud offering, we do not have plans to support this feature in oss/self-hosted at the moment.

Thanks for sharing your use-case with TimescaleDB. I'm curious to understand how are you ingesting metrics today into TimescaleDB, do you manage your own schema, retention, compression and downsampling?

We at Timescale have built a product named Promscale for easy metrics and traces ingestion with automatic schema-management, compression, retention and downsampling capabilities with full SQL support. Have you tried Promscale (https://github.com/timescale/promscale) for your metrics use-case?

To learn more about Promscale join us in #promscale channel in our community slack (https://slack.timescale.com/)

Some would argue that there are indeed systemic origins and incitements in both violence against trans people and violence against black people, that there are elements within the US government (or at least political apparatus) interested in the oppression of both groups, and actively engaged in spreading fear and encouraging violence against them.

I mean, you can trace a direct line from the current moral panic about "groomers" through QAnon to Pizzagate, and it goes through one specific political party, and you can trace another line from police brutality against black people to Jim Crow and segregation to slave-catchers. The systemic links are there.

The only things people are calling genocides are things that look disturbingly like genocides. No one is arguing everything is a genocide.
There are now places in California where the only fire insurance you can buy is through the state, because private insurers bailed out.

Some of those are defunct like Hercules and S3 graphics. Some of those don't make cards either anymore like Diamond and EVGA. And most of them don't make their own video chips but assemble boards from AMD/Nvidia and I guess Intel now. So depending on how you define video card manufacturers there may only be 3.
It could be done now except cars are expected to be safe and fast.

These arguments rely on the person making them to act incredulous if you suggest that a company like Apple would do anything unsavory. There's an entire school of rhetoric dedicated to conflating "companies securing their trillion dollar bottom lines" with "end-user security", when the two are almost always orthogonal.
But you aren't building a generic product. You are building something specific.

I'm my experience the _vast_ majority of CSS never gets reused. Sure if all you are building is marketing websites or landing pages then I suppose some generic "cards" or whatever will get you pretty far, but for anything even moderately more complex... no chance

A useful test — which shows this isn't true — is to compare similar goods/services that have dissimilar amounts of regulation.

For example — healthcare is heavily regulated, but veterinary care is lightly regulated. Both have experienced similar amounts of inflation over the past decade.

Or, to give an example from the article — houses that are eligible for government guarantees (those below $750K-$1M) have appreciated similar amounts in the past decade to those that's aren't eligible.

Nah, not even. I have a mutation called CDH1 that happens to be pathogenic and predisposes me to a greater than 40% chance of stomach cancer. It's a dominant gene which means it has a 50% chance I've passed it onto my daughter as well.

That cancer is what's known as a Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer gene (HDGC). It just so happens that the E-cadherin control that suppresses those cancer cells is not processed properly. The diffuse part is what makes it particularly tricky. It's on the surface of the stomach epithelial cells and progresses from there. The only solution is a total gastrectomy (prophylactic if you do it early). No carcinogen necessary. It's found in populations all over the world and pathogenic lines don't even have to be related. The mutation can occur independently in the germline and is passed on. As long as you reproduce before it kills you nature really doesn't care.

Fun side fact. It also predisposes carriers to 70% chance of breast cancer. As a result many of those diagnosed are women who then find out they need to also have their stomachs removed.
You seem to be... weirdly emotional about this issue, so I doubt we're going to see eye-to-eye here.

Ultimately we have limited choices in the market, and we have to make compromises. I'm fine running an Intel chip (which doesn't even have SGX, as they don't ship SGX in non-server SKUs anymore), and don't run anything that uses SGX... not sure there's anything written for desktop Linux that I'd use that even tries to use it anyway.

In another post downthread you acknowledge that AMD has their own trusted execution engine (which they don't ship... but neither does Intel, at least in consumer hardware), so for some reason you seem to love AMD and hate Intel when they essentially do the same things.

You also list a bunch of bad stuff Intel has done -- and yes, agreed, they were bad -- but I'm sure AMD has done just as much similar bad stuff. And if not, I'm sure it's not because they're saints, but because they hadn't had the clout of a dominant-enough market position (like Intel has had) that would allow them to get away with things like that. I have no doubt they would have done similar things if they found themselves in similar circumstances. ::shrug::

Either way, this whole "Intel vs. AMD" thing is not really a hill I care do die on... much more important stuff going on in my life.
I haven't played MTG in ages, and decided to check out their website to see what the new cards are like. Aoparently there's a new mechanic "More than meets the eye" letting you cast Optimus Prime for one less mana...? Apparently it's just, part of the Brothers' War set now. It's like those fortnite ads I see for Naruto or Goku being in the game now. Games just aren't allowed to have their own aesthetic anymore because crossover deals are apparently too profitable. Totally felt off.
6pm curfew? Did Sydney do that? Melbourne didn't. The rest seems about right.

But having seen what Italy was going through - lockdowns with COVID still spreading and hospitals overloaded with the dying. I didn't want that for us.

The "freedom of COVID movement" people were cursed many times - they kept the lockdown running for longer because they couldn't see beyond themselves. They were the cause of the curfews because they tried to use cover of darkness.

Idea wise actually S/360 run on hardware microcode and all these idea of virtual machine and hypervisor came from an unauthorised development called CP67 or later VM. IBM used it for development MVS etc. as some hardware is yet to be built for certain features.

It's anecdotal, but a friend of mine working on the frontend told me his org of 150 engineers lost 2/3 in the original layoff (leaving 50), and then about 80% of those remaining declined the hardcore ultimatum (leaving 10, a mere 6.7% of the starting strength). H1B's are the majority of those remaining.

Creating a GitHub repo with one file titled “index.md” and publishing it to GitHub Pages creates a single-page site using relatively sane defaults. There's no maintenance involved whatsoever. You can add multiple pages as well by creating new .md files and publishing them.
Other users of the road do most of the enforcement. The police often get involved only at the behest of another user or if certain levels of misconduct are breached. It sounds like this transparency allows other citizens to do the low-level enforcement: organizing against an unwanted company buying that attempting to acquire more ownership your town might be analogous to honking, tailgating, etc.
> because one person's "just a package-install away" is another's "should be bundled by default".

FWIW, it's also another's "has transitive dependencies that try to brick my computer". Claims like "just a package-install away" would be significantly more convincing if they could fix that (ie, fix (remove) the ability of packages to have transitive dependencies).

(This isn't anything specific to EMACS, to be clear; I've never seen a mainstream package system that bothered to enforce a meaningful limit on the depth of dependency graphs.)

Just read the Young Michelle lines and you can see that they are very ELIZA-ish. Most of them could have been mildly sympathic-sounding responses to any number of inputs.

Yeah, I'm torn here because without a trained therapist supervising this technique can easily trigger a spiral.

But health care costs in the US are extraordinarily steep. Mental health care is often out-of-network, if it's covered at all.

I have a hunch that market demand for AI-guided "mental health wellness exercises" will out pace regulations or ethics. Calm would be the best example of this kind of demand. I wonder if they're talking about this internally, and what line is being drawn.

Ask HN: How old is your current PC/Laptop?
Spent $200 for a new desktop PC just a couple of months ago. It came with Linux + mouse&kb. Already had my own monitor. It has the Athlon 3000G processor (released in 2019).

Before I decided on this one, I also checked the second-hand/refurbished market, which in my country is quite extensive. The cheapest refurbished PC is just $29.

Thing is, one of these companies that sells refurbished PCs has been in the market for more than 20 years. There must be people buying these.

I expect to use this PC for at least 10 years.

How old is yours and how long are you looking to get out of it?
Do you have a back-up old one that you keep around just in case?
In short, it's priced in.
I never got into it, but I could see this having some use for AR D&D, and while it enables new games, show how it could be used in existing popular games today so that people can understand it and how it could enable/change existing games in new ways.
Social code platforms are platforms that let users share and collaborate on datasets, AI models, and other coding projects (we call this content “social code”). When Congress considers changes to platform liability, lawmakers should not legislate with solely Facebook and Twitter in mind. This requires understanding what makes social code platforms different, how they underlie our digital infrastructure, their benefits and harms, and how they are affected by Section 230. Only then can we avoid the unintended consequences of legal reform that is outdated upon passage.
Government backed loans aren't the problem. The US has the 5th lowest housing price to income ratio [0].

Perceptions are just massively skewed by wealthy areas with geographical constraints and strict zoning laws which restrict local supply against demand and everyone complaining focuses on those areas.

> But Twitter is in crisis. Elon Musk bought it, fired a huge portion of the staff, changed the rules so many times that I’m not even sure what the rules are anymore, and has warned that the company will likely have to file for bankruptcy soon.

Crisis? This assessment seems like FUD vs rationality. Twitter was on the verge of mass layoffs regardless if Elon bought it. In 2021, Twitter's annual net loss amounted to $221 million, a significant decrease from the previous year of -$1.4 billion.

I don't question the growing uncertainty of quality, but to think Twitter is in crisis seems more like media bias pushing a narrative.

To me, it sounds like you are conflating AI and AGI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...

The way I and many others use the term "AI", is based on the understanding that AI is an umbrella term that includes modern deep learning as well as the broader field of machine learning, and also the other pre-machine-learning types of AI such as symbolic AI, expert systems etc.

If the stuff running on Lisp Machines was referred to as AI, I don't see why GPT-3 can't be labelled as such.
I mean, if corporate landlords legally were not allowed to own them, then supply would absolutely skyrocket as homes flood the market. Potentially to the point where they worth pennies on the dollar, as otherwise wealthy individuals would also be reaching the 2-3 home cap (with home prices so low, why not!)

Of course, this would also decimate the entire sector as a store of wealth, which, while some may consider that good (and I am partial to the view that a home is first a place to live than an investment), in the short term it would definitely have the effect of wiping out most middle class wealth, which is tied up in the primary/only home.

Then there’s also the problem you would likely see absolutely no units built in high demand areas, since the math wouldn’t pencil out until some sort of equilibrium was found.

Hopefully this lowers the amount of spam too.

These public registers are data mined and all the contact information on them. That data is then sold while compiled with other information. Ultimately you get a deluge of advertisement spam.

I always found it odd how the government enabled this spam. It's probably not a big deal, especially when it comes to larger companies, but every small business is listed there too (if it's the type of register I'm thinking about).
That’s because the state banned insurers from using up-to-date risk models: https://www.ecologylawquarterly.org/currents/californias-ban...

A bad policy, to be sure, but that doesn’t mean the homes are inherently uninsurable.
Consider a dust mite hoover (Hoover Ultra Vortex is popular). Also good to have some turnover routine for your mattress as dust usually accumulates underneath in the bed frame.

So… I was trying to figure out why freezing a Struct wasn’t a suitable solution here and the article pretty much answered it: Data is not enumerable.

That alone is enough reason to create a separate class. Struct has completely wrong ergonomics for certain things.

I’m sure there are a bunch of other reasons but I didn’t feel the need to dig further.
better yet, we could free housing from market dynamics (nearly) altogether by outlawing non-resident ownership of any residential property to force widespread adoption of cooperatively-tenant-owned CLTs, and requiring that residential construction be done by unionized co-ops. neither of us are suggesting realistic goals for legislation though
Echoing everybody else here, really neat!

Questions:

Do the cards contain any battery? I’m wondering if they have always-running CPUs in there, or if all the compute happens in the base (and then it just writes to the screen).

I guess color eInk would probably be cost-prohibitive, huh?
> For example — healthcare is heavily regulated, but veterinary care is lightly regulated. Both have experienced similar amounts of inflation over the past decade.

You forget indirect regulation. Veterinary drugs, veterinary education, and similar are quite regulated and expensive. So much so, that the average cost of vet school for in-state residents is over $200,000. Out-of-state, make it closer to $300K. The average cost of acquiring FDA approval of a new animal drug is $100 million and takes seven years.

If you call that "lightly regulated" I don't know what "heavy regulation" is. So, to be honest, I don't believe your comparison is accurate.

EDIT: This does depend on the estimate used (my first one was from https://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/efficacy-vs-cost/). Others say it is closer to $30 million for livestock and 9 years, but costs crossed $62 million in some cases (https://ahi.org/approval-and-regulation-of-animal-medicines/). It seems to depend on how broadly "animal" is defined and the type of drug in question, but it's all under FDA purview. Regardless of how it is defined, it doesn't fall in my view as being nearly as "lightly regulated" as implied.
TEE isn't implemented by smartphone vendors but implemented by SoC vendors, isn't it? You mean MediaTek is crappy?
I think you're committing a yet-unnamed logical fallacy that I see a lot on HN. I'm going to call this "the logical fallacy of uncharitable interpretation." The basic premise is this:

Take an assertion like X implies Y. Unfortunately, due to the imprecision of language, X may have multiple definitions, e.g. D1 and D2, such that D1 implies Y but D2 does not. The fallacy of uncharitable interpretation is to take a definition for X such that the stated premise does not hold, even though there exists another definition where the premise would hold.

In this case, large ML algorithms are commonly called AI. Even the company that made GPT-3 is called OpenAI. Even you, yourself referred to them as "AI researchers." What do "AI researchers" produce if not AI? Finally, "talk" can colloquially mean to use words in an prompt-response pattern.
These places have had hurricanes for centuries at least. If humans didn’t exist at all. It would still be getting hurricanes.

I'm trying to target $80 for a "starter set" of the base and 3 cards. I think this is doable at real scale.
In reality there is a lot of overlap between structs and classes that the intent seems to be a bit lost on modern devs.

They were intended (going back at least to C++) to convey different things. A struct is a light abstraction of related things. So instead of having int x, int y everywhere you have Struct Point.

A class has responsibilities, implies state, implies interfaces.

Given the signaling that structs send they should be value objects and as such the original Ruby struct is a bad implementation. The Data object is basically a concession of this with an understanding that changing struct would break "all the things" that already use struct.
The answer to that is pretty clear, there's never been a single research paper which manage to demonstrate a monetary loss.
It would be nice, but the fundamentals for every game engine I've seen have changed far more quickly than Rust fundamentals. Keep in mind... game engines aren't just programming language frameworks-- they're often inextricably tied to incredibly complex GUI applications and dozens of underlying systems that deal with things like lighting, animation, rendering efficiency, etc. etc. etc. Projects generally are assumed to remain in whatever engine version they're started in so version compatibility isn't a huge concern. The tutorial layer one half step above "Hello World" is generally unusable after whole number updates, and point releases bring changes that are fundamental enough to break "my first game" type projects. As someone who happily learned to code from paper books, I assure you that game engines bring different usage requirements.

You could probably learn GDScript from a book (or really, just learn Python and read up on the differences,) but with engines these days, you're going to be going along for quite some time before coding becomes the primary barrier to achieving your goals.
Veterinary spending has increased (as a result of higher disposable incomes leading to higher consumption), but it's not true that the cost of veterinary healthcare has increased.

This sounds interesting! What are your thoughts on (for lack of a better term) the marketing of each single page? Is the idea that each page should live on an island, that writers will promote through their own separate channels, or is the idea to eventually have a sort of front page/recommended links? I jumped to this question because it seems like the urge to promote tends to undermine the privacy impetus. It’s not a black and white thing, though.
