We are actually able to handle the long tail of tracing by leveraging the amazing open source community. For languages like Java we use the automatic instrumentation created by the OpenTelemetry community which is really great and support ton of libraries, you can see a list of supported libraries here: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrum...
This also allows us to support async tracing like doing context propagation over Kafka message is also something we support (depending on the programming language)
In the early days of Covid, the web was awash with all sorts of stupid fucking designs that reimagined public space under the new normal or whatever. It was chaff that creators and readers alike knew would never be put to practical use, or even be produced in the first place. There's a good writeup about it here.

I think the same phenomenon is at play here. Everybody sharing their own silly parrot tricks: it's the least interesting topic in the world right now.
Nothing you say engages with anything I said.
That's actually exactly what they do.

If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and the TSC determines that you are on the No Fly List, DHS TRIP will send you a letter informing you of your status on the No Fly List and providing the option to submit and receive additional information.

Yep, physical devices are certainly a worst case scenario depending on the constraints. I'm purely talking about software running on servers or, at worst, at least end user computers.
> If you want evidence of this you can just hang around with showdead on for a while in any thread that even vaguely broaches a political topic, or follow moderator dang's account long enough.

Judging a community by posts that are moderated away seems like the wrong way to go about things. By this standard almost any community is horrible $bad_thing. It's just that on HN you have a bit more transparency than many other sites. If you don't want to see that stuff then don't turn showdead on.

Now, I have my own criticisms of HN, and some (but not all) align with yours. But I don't really want to go in to details about that as I feel that's moving the goalposts from the claims made in the notice: "full of sexism and racism", "hang out with white supremacists", and that "the main moderator approves of it". "Out of touch elitist silicon valley nonsense" is not the same as any of that.

> this place looks like a den of alt-right creeps and incels

But it's not. There sure are some of those people, and their posts rarely do well (i.e. they're typically downvoted, certainly not the top post).
It's still a problem that they exist and persist as much as they do. If you're transgender or gay and you know every time something you write gets posted here there's going to be a tangential diatribe about your pronouns, mental faculties and secret agenda, it doesn't make this place seem any more welcoming if that stuff has to be constantly voted down, and flagging it doesn't magically separate it from the zeitgeist of this community. It's still a part of what HN is, if it's a part that some people fight against.

It's like living in an apartment with a pest problem. It doesn't matter how much you spray, you still have a pest problem.
> I know Spotify does a lot of analysis and clever things with the music on their platform

Do they?

I have ‘melancholic’ and ‘I want to hype myself up’ playlists. Both from the tone of the music, voice, and lyrics (even the titles, I’d say) it is extremely obvious what the overarching vibe of the playlist is. Yet the radio-mode of those playlist or the recommendations below the playlist are fairly obviously just “other people who played the songs in this playlist also liked these songs”.

As far as I can tell there are no deep analysis smarts at work, or even something like EveryNoiseAtOnce.
I basically _always_ use "they". Doesn't even feel that awkward with the right sentence structures.
> Musk also promised to step down based on a majority poll

After saying he would be stepping back from Twitter in short order under oath in the Tesla shareholder lawsuit.

But a Musk promise only being delivered long after the initially-stated timeframe, if ever, is hardly abnormal.
> would like to see a follow-up with more details.

Oversimplified summary of the complaint as I understand it: HN’s moderation policy is “thoughtful debate.” Marginalized groups do not appreciate their human rights being treated as being up for debate, politely or not.
Anywhere which allows diversity is going to allow opinions you despise. Otherwise 1) it's not diversity or 2) you don't despise anything. Conclusion: Hacker News is more diverse than @arborelia. (Whether that's a good thing is up to you.)
Where's the death threat?

That paragraph is not much different from what you'll find from self-described stocastic terrorist LibsofTikTok.

And, you know, I certainly agree that this kind of speech is terrible! But just as the US first amendment has protected, for example, supplying lists of doctors providing women with healthcare, showing crosshairs over them, putting red crosses over ones who have been murdered, and so on, the US has decided over the years that you have to issue very direct threats, or very clear instructions, to be held liable for speech that could incite harm.
In addition to what has been said already, sometimes it's nice to have guard rails, so you're a little more sure that you're only touching that thing when you mean to.
The world mummy ultimately comes from Persian word mum, which means wax. In Arabic form mumiya it was used for the bituminous embalming substance.

Hey! I sent you an email about a possible collaboration. Hope to hear from you :)
1940’s was when 1984 was written, not the year being compared for Agatha Christie.

“In 1919, Ford’s Model T cost £170—around $12,000 in 2022 dollars. So a car was worth about three months of income for the Christie family—but almost five years of income for their maid!”

3 months salary was clearly an affordable if major expenses, so this was more a question of prioritization. A maid making the equivalent of 200$/month sounds incredibly low a mere 100 years ago, but would actually be a competitive salary in many cities today.
My outsider opinion is that 99% of all the insiders know that this will all end without fireworks when a certain 70 year old dictator is removed from power.
Ask HN: Help me re-find a small-scale water turbine design?
I'm pretty sure I originally found this on HN some years ago, maybe someone here can help me find it again.

I remember a video of a very small hydro power demo, about a meter across, something along the lines of a gravitational water vortex power plant[0], but instead of the usual turbine they had a pretty big, uh, piece ("runner"?) in the middle of the chamber with the vortex, taking up most of the space. I believe the idea was to extract energy from very low flows. I seem to recall the people presenting it were Swiss, or something else vaguely germanic, but I'm not really sure.

Anyway, I've thought about this thing for years, decided to try to find it again, and mostly failed in my google-fu. I don't remember anything of the specific language used to describe it, just the visual. If anyone knows good search terms for this, I'm happy to hear those as well.

Thanks!

I think the question is used to weed out those people who do not want the job. It is a synonym for “so you want this job?” What mental fences do you have that prevented you from interpreting the question correctly, or that encourage you to self-sabotage (assuming you needed the job; if you knew you didn’t want the job, the question provides an easy out)? Or not, I dunno you nor what the test designer intended.
One thing to consider, there is considerable asymmetry between the high training costs and the lower (relatively) operating costs.

> Perhaps ChatGPT is run with massive operating losses and its all VC subsidized.

I'm not in the know either, but the current access is providing both marketing awareness, and significant human training/feedback to be used for improvements on future commercial projects. It could certainly be the case that that benefits outweigh costs compared to the classic, dumber "get eyeballs now, monetize later" strategy.
I have come to the conclusion that you accidentally described all the reasons why, and how you actually never did see the big picture and how to busy oneself enough to stop looking for one.
It shouldn't have to forbid that. The editor and privileged files shouldn't be in the same string. It should just be appending the list of temporary files to the editor command, and running that unprivileged.

I was setting up something on my daughter's laptop last weekend when I made a startling discovery. For context, she will graduate this year with a degree in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. When I added a URL to the Bookmarks in her browser, I noticed that it was the only thing in her Bookmarks. When I asked her why she didn't have any sites Bookmarked she said she keeps tabs open for everything she uses regularly (Gmail, Blackboard, and a few other things). I didn't know how to process this information. I guess she uses phone apps for just about everything and on the rare occasion that she needs to use a web site for something she finds it with Google.

I don't know if she is typical for people her age, but for her the answer to your question would be "none".
I mean, even just going from n2 to n1.5 is huge.

Those are pretty standard ACARS messages. It's the only time I've seen SOH/STX/ETX used, probably because originally in the 70s they were designed to be typed used with Telex machines.
Squaring the circle here: I love and accept myself right now, with all the flaws I know I have. I'm trying to improve, but who knows what I will and won't ultimately fix. Maybe this old lump of coal never will be a diamond. But I'm not going to wait til I've climbed the asymptote to start loving myself, I can just love the self I'm stuck with here and now.
Similar things are happening in galaxy formation too; numerical models here cost tens of thousands - tens of millions of cpu hours to run, and have maybe 8-10 free parameters. We use emulators based upon a training set of maybe 100-200 real simulations to calibrate out those free parameters to scaling relations (e.g. sizes of galaxies v.s. their mass).

Odd that they did not mention these when discussing sub-grid modelling, as afaik these Astronomy simulations (along with planetary impacts) are probably some of the first to have used them…
Funny story, I found a game I wrote in Turbo Pascal from 1988 so I decided to run it a couple of years ago in a DOSBox. whenever I ran it, it just ended immediately so I assumed it was broke, I eventually tried it in a VM running DOS at about a hundredth the normal CPU speed speed and I saw the system draw the screen, play the demo game, time out and end all in about five seconds.
Or you know they just got old and it hits harder
There are many different types of inefficiencies that may arise in the short-term, and there are plenty of funds that very skillfully capture them. But they're all constrained by how much of their capital they can trade before they're the ones moving the price.

Jim Simons makes 80% a year from his fund but he still has to find boring ways to invest that extra money because it can't go back into the fund.

The beauty of diversified buy and hold is that it allows investors to stay invested to reap the benefits of compound growth. Over a long period of time EMH does hold up pretty well.
"He also said the military alliance and other Western defence leaders [...] should consider the risks of their policy."

Its deliberate to dissuade you from keeping anything on your device. Upload it to the cloud and let google, apple, microsoft, and the government search it for you.

However yes i/o is time consuming and you can see that when programs update their indexes.
Yeah, I just tried it out and it looks pretty good! (If I resize my window to be 1/3 the width of my monitor, that is.)

I totally agree with you: I like to use my browser at ~50% of screen width on a 27" screen, so it looks terrible there because of all the wasted space. If they made it work at 50% width like it does at 30% width, I'd have no complaints.
English book, not many cars in UK in 1949, plus Orwell wrote to warn about freedom of movement, speech and just about everything else being in jeopardy.

In some ways the last 60 years of freedom of motorized personal travel in the western world have been a brief anomaly. The aggressive elites actions to control everyone and everything by electrification only plus digital centralized controls is greatly helped by people experiencing climate change anxiety urging every faster restriction, ironically highly Orwellian.

As a mathematician who’s only recently started to get into computation and programming, I think the difference between my thought patterns when switching hats is so fascinating.

I was so accustomed to hearing that mathematics is nothing if not rigorous, but the more I reflect, mathematics is much more dependent on social convention and agreement amongst a community. While an outsider might think that proofs rigorously establish theorems, the purpose of a proof might be better seen as having enough detail to convince a substantial portion of the prominent mathematicians in a field that the proof is correct. In fact, there are theorems (e.g. the ABC conjecture) where a “proof” has been proposed, but not enough mathematicians have expertise with the techniques used to prove it in order to agree whether the proof is sufficient or not (though I’ve heard that the general opinion is that the proof does not suffice). William Thurston wrote one of my favorite essays related to this topic: https://www.math.toronto.edu/mccann/199/thurston.pdf

Reflecting on my own experience in mathematics, a better way to think of proofs is as being composed of “thought patterns” which many mathematicians agree are likely to be correct - when I scan a proof, I don’t look through every detail to verify that it is correct, but rather run it through a series of high level tests to see if it fails in any way, then if it passes all of those I look more closely at the argument and analyze the structure and mathematical power of each statement (e.g. one is unlikely to establish a hard analytic result through purely algebraic means, so where is the magic going on?) and so on until I’ve convinced myself that the argument is probably true. Other times, the result may be “visually apparent” (e.g. in geometry) at which point it might be sufficient for me to just to connect certain canonical arguments with the pictures as I read through the proof. For an excellent overview of this process, read Terry Tao’s blog on identifying errors in proofs : https://terrytao.wordpress.com/advice-on-writing-papers/on-l....

I don’t feel as confident commenting on the programming/computational perspective, as I’ve probably developed a very idiosyncratic way of thinking from approaching the topic so late in my education, but my feeling is that they are much different, and that the types of things a mathematician wants to convey to another mathematician rely much more on “trust” rather than the kind of rigor that might be needed by a computer.

I think this would be an interesting topic to explore in longer form.
As you mention, these days we use computers to filter; lacking those is what made it old school, as I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that they were manually reviewing paper records.
I'm looking through the Wiki, and calling Ultibo "bare metal" seems like a misnomer.

I see threads, filesystems, networking (Ethernet) and even graphics drivers here. I dare say that Ultibo is more feature complete than an OS like FreeRTOS.

Its a weird marketing choice. Maybe Ultibo's developers aren't very familiar with the language of embedded programs, but I'd call Ultibo a Pascal oriented Operating System for the Raspberry Pi. Just my personal opinion on this matter.

So, would you evacuate everyone when facing an enemy attack? Would you have any room to evacuate your people to if you never try to fight back? (Hint: pacifism works only if you have very strong non-pacifist allies.)

And if you need to resist an invasion, you want to save lives of your fighting forces as much as possible, even if you sadly can't save everyone.

> Why does Twitter need to be involved on the client side with consumption of the API?

Twitter is an advertising company. Alternative clients do not show Twitter's ads nor return to Twitter user data, so Twitter makes no money when alternative clients get used but still incurs bandwidth costs. There is no profit, only cost, in providing an exchange for short text messages; the profit all comes in the advertising, and that requires control of the client UI.
I removed all Christmas songs after Christmas! That's probably the issue. The majority of problems people are seeing can be fixed by expanding the dataset.

When should an app do a wait list? Almost never. I get so annoyed at wait lists I never bother to participate or come back. Clubhouse infamously had this gated access thing on its launch and I don't think they had opened it up before Twitter launched Spaces.

How can you expect to build a presence in a world with infinite options if you make people wait some indeterminate time to use your app?

Sorry. Might as well not launch until you're ready to take the load. And if moderation is the concern, it's better to build a reputation system that unlocks features over time rather than block it out altogether.

Show HN: Music Audio Search Engine Using OpenAI's Embeddings on GPT Descriptions
I am excited to announce a new tool for music producers and audio enthusiasts - a music audio search engine. With just a simple description of the groove you're looking for, our semantic search engine will output the most similar audio in seconds.

I used the Freesound.org API to upload over 3,000 grooves to MongoDB, and combined all the relevant data such as tags, title, description, BPM, etc. into OpenAI's Text-Davinci to generate a unique description of each sound. I then embedded these descriptions using the Ada Embeddings Model and inserted them into Pinecone DB vector database, making it easier to find the perfect sound for your next project.

This search engine is designed to save you time and make your music production process more efficient. Give it a try and see the difference it makes in your workflow. I would also appreciate any feedback on how I can improve the website and make it even more user-friendly.

EDIT:
- Google Sign In removed
- 25 total sounds now (only 5 before)
