Do you have a demo for PhotoStructure? Didn't see anything on the site. I'm really looking more for a Picasa replacement that respects my file structure and displays it as such.
It supports WebDAV, discusses that in the docs, and links to an app that does well enough at backing up a phone to start off. Not seamless like Google photos for sure, but not nothing. https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/webdav/

Depends on what you're doing but I find multiple monitors to be useful in only a specific set of contexts. Otherwise I'd rather have one. Even worse is when you're trying to multi-task or context switch between two screens.
Ukraine, in January 2022, had more tanks than Germany, France, and the UK combined.

They had more air defense than Germany, France, and the UK combined, though the systems were not quite as capable individually.

They had nearly as many active duty military as Germany, France, and the UK combined, and a huge number of reservists with experience fighting in the War in Donbass against Russian military and paramilitary forces with tanks and artillery, as opposed to jihadists with no real heavy weapons of any kind.

Their airforce was mostly comparable in size to any one of the above, though again not as capable qualitatively.

And they had a hell of a lot more artillery and artillery shells than Germany, France, and the UK combined. By a massive margin, although again not quite as capable individually. Nearly all of the NATO-standard artillery ammunition that has been provided to Ukraine has come from US stockpiles, because at the rate Ukraine consumes artillery ammo Germany, France, and the UK would be collectively tapped out in about 10 days. Not to mention HIMARS ammunition.

The Russians were also rather handicapped by the reckless, arrogant stupidity of their plan and extreme secrecy resulting in soldiers selling their fuel rations for alcohol, because until a day or two beforehand they thought was all a bunch of western lies because that's what the government was saying publicly. With the result that a bunch of vehicles ran out of fuel halfway to Kyiv. Had the invasion been done according to doctrine rather than as what they expected to be an immediate victory as the Ukrainians laid down their arms, awed by their superior military power, the story may still have turned out very different.

Anyway, Ukraine had, by a very significant margin, the largest military in Europe excluding Russia, and certainly the most experienced in fighting "real" wars. Take this into consideration when boasting about how easily the rest of Europe would be able to handle a Russian invasion.

You are correct, the micropython vm/interpreter + the unix target (one of the simplest) combined are ~50k lines of C.

Note that to run correctly micropython also needs its python stdlib which is about 15k lines of Python.

Does JuiceFS scale horizontally? I can’t see anything about how the servers federate/balance load or if they can at all.

You can host Photoprism[1] with Pikapods[2] and upload your pictures using PhotoSync[3] and then sync(backup) all your pictures to Hetzner using their Nextcloud hosting[4]. Pikapods is in LA and Hetzner is in Germany. This provides a good reliable setup for your invaluable pictures. This is what I use and I am very happy with, I don’t mind paying more than Icloud knowing that I am supporting open source products.

> But why the fuck would Russia do it?

Why do so many people act as if it's so unlikely that Russia did it? They had the least to lose, their relations with the west were already ruined at that point and such an incident couldn't make them any worse.

What would be their motive? Before the explosion, Russia had illegally shut down the pipeline. Now that the pipeline has exploded, they have plausible deniability and they can say it's not their fault the gas isn't flowing. Because of that, they won't have to pay additional fines when the economic relations with the west are restored.

And don't forget that one pipe of NS2 was left intact and, unlike NS1, there was no contractual obligation to pump gas through it.
I agree in general that Microsoft leaves a lot to be desired.

But Google's product track record has been abysmal lately. Based on their horrible live event today, it seems like things are not so grand behind the scenes there anymore.
Interesting, I think i dealt with this at a previous job.

How do you deal with it? Your not going to just have one shard handle one key if you want to keep scaling.

These "lightweight" algorithms aren't just low resource usage, they're tuned for small messages. CAESAR also had a "high-performance" category, for AEADs optimized for large messages and streaming data.

If you're limited to small packets on rare occasions and want to have minimal battery drain (e.g. a battery-powered LoRaWAN-style sensor) a "lightweight" algorithm like Ascon is good. For most "normal" uses a "high-performance" algorithm like AEGIS is good, as are AES-GCM, AES-OCB, AES-GCM-SIV, and ChaCha20-Poly1305. When you'd pick which cipher is rather complicated to answer.
None of that stuff really matters directly though. What matters is actual impact on the environment. Things like pollution, habitat destruction, etc. That's what should be taxed/discouraged.

If someone can extract resources with no environmental cost, I would definitely NOT want to penalize them.
Whenever I read something like this about Substack I'm reminded of how our most esteemed media outlets pushed completely fabricated stories about Trump[1]. What made that most absurd is that he wasn't even a good President so there was more than enough material for legitimate criticism, and yet..

Are you saying that the world should just bend over to russian imperialism and merrily let them commit cultural genocide because global warming is bad? Cause I am at a loss what your comment is supposed to mean. If not for imperialism and lack of foresight and integrity among both the elites and the general population, we wouldn’t have either global warming nor these kind of wars. Global warming is already here, and it’s shitty enough, but if it will help bring down those imperialist monsters I certainly won’t cry over it.
Was on biz trip to Vietnam in late 2017. Went to specialist local coffee shop and the brew was fantastic. Had the kick of an angry mule and a really rich flavour. FTR I don’t like drip or perc coffee and outside of specialist coffee houses the general North American and European black water (laughingly called “americano” so I’m not sure who created this label but they were trying to insult Americans, italians and coffee drinkers all in one go) is not to my taste.

Yes Vietnam is mainstay of the global instant coffee supply but they do have some good robusta. And if you aren’t convinced go visit Sumatra where robusta also grown and have a local brew. To die for.

Going rate is about 3 cents per LLM query, so at Google scale of 100k qps, it would be ~$300MM/day. However you probably need to send only about 1/10 of current queries to LLM (as most are still not suitrable for LLM to asnwer) so that would cost only $30MM/day or about $9B/year which is peanuts for Google.
Everyone uses bing for that anyway.
A hell lot of computation inside a neuron (in fact inside any cell) is chemical in nature. Proteins interacting, channels opening and closing, membrane doing membrainy stuff.. In fact their is a AND gate which is entirely chemical in nature.

Simulating chemical reactions are slow in silicon therefore chemical side is ignored.

If you glance over the graphs in chemistry papers, most of them are sigmoids. sigmoids are the sinusoid of chemical world. Its nice and heartening to see sinusoid appearing often in AI/ML as a fundamental computation.
The syntax is reminiscent to GraphQL, but semantically it's a lot more expressive and not compatible. It's much closer to SQL in expressive power, actually: left joins, recursion, arbitrary filters, aggregation, etc. -- none of that stuff works in GraphQL but is supported in Trustfall.

This isn't a competition. They aren't in a classroom where the professor is asking a trick question. This person wants to hire someone who can spot the bug, understand it, and propose solutions.

Who cares if the candidate comes from a field where this isn't common? That's the point. You want to hire people who would know what to do if they came across it.

It's amazing the amount of hostility here towards a perfectly sensible interview question and process.
There is zero evidence that happened. They could absolutely have been sitting at the threshold to the runway for those 60 seconds and immediately took off when they turned the corner 60 seconds later
It’s fine. The other stuff I would be doing is way worse.
At some point though, that's just true of the universe.

For millenia we thought planets orbited the Earth and there were complicated and sophisticated models to predict their motion (see epicycles). But we were just hallucinating.

Then Newton hallucinated his universal law of gravitation, which worked pretty well until Einstein hallucinated relativity.

you are why windows updates are now forced.

because you will not update until forced in most situations.

you simply are not aware of every security fix or vulnerability found, and therefore can't know when you should update.

in the early 2000s there a few very large profile windows viruses that spread like crazy, despite patches being released months or years earlier. the viruses took out networks across the globe and caused considerable mayhem for days.

congress had hearings and several tech companies testified, including Microsoft. congress wanted to know why users weren't forced to update their computers, and Microsoft said that they can't control what their users do.

congress blamed Microsoft for users not patching their systems.

so this happened a few more times and Windows Update was improved continuously going forward.

now you're forced to update, because people who thought they knew all about security failed to update when they should have.

now, users blame Microsoft for forcing them to patch their systems.
> Russia had no motivation to destroy it

Russia wanted to cause panic and meltdown on EUs energy markets, but to no avail. Russia tried to sabotage gas supply by fiddling with turbines for months, but was in the end out of options, and EU gas prices were still too far from panic and collapse. Blowing up underwater gas pipes the same day that a gas pipe from Norway started to work - too good to be coincidence.

> Russia controls the pipeline, and could choose to turn it off

No, Russia cannot just turn off the gas without a force majeure cause (and even declaring the war to Ukraine, which will never be an option, is not a force majeure enough). Otherwise there are contractual obligations to fulfill, and enormous penalties in case of breaching contract.

> I suspect countries are going to want answers. The U.S. saying “this is not true” probably isn’t going to cut it for the countries involved.

After seeing how Germany handled the USA spying on Merkel (phone saga), I do not expect them countries involved asking further questions or taking appropriate actions.

Welp, maybe taking no action IS the appropriate action. The west must stay united and trade must flow.

I appreciate this comment and generally agree. I have observed that teens themselves seem not to understand each other to a greater degree: perhaps the effect is not limited teenagers. Increased inability to relate in ways that allow ideas to be shared, and importantly -- challenged in real settings.
>If we want a healthier society, we need to take a step back and give teenagers a chance to actually live life.

We need something like Rumspringa[1], a period in life when I young person is given a bit of slack, and is expected to eventually voluntarily take upon themselves the duties and responsibilities of an adult, or leave the community.

I can't find it now[2], but I remember either Joseph Campbell, or some other such person in a TV interview describing how in earlier societies, the children once of sufficient age would be set outside of society, and allowed to sleep in the ashes around the camp fires, until they resolved to join society as an adult, with all the privileges and responsibilities.

Backwards indeed! <g>

>Why would you assume space comes before matter?

Why would you -- assume Hydrogen exists before the Universe does?

?

>Because you have it backwards, and ultimately the correct question to ask is: how do you create space from empty matter?

OK, so what's the answer to that question?

And how does it get us any closer to understanding how Hydrogen might be created by humanity -- in the vaccuum of space?

How do you create space from empty matter -- since you bring up that question?

And how would this knowledge help us create Hydrogen in a lab?

Such that humanity could one day create Hydrogen on the surface of Mars?

Such that humanity could one day create Water on the surface of Mars?

Without bringing water or other Hydrogen-containing chemical compounds with us to Mars?

?

Obviously actually helping right on the spot can be seen as more valuable, yes. In a perfect world.

In the world we live in, that's just not possible. Can you right every wrong you've ever witnessed?

Some of us see systemic and bigger problems and point those out. In your example it's fair to conclude "writing mission-critical code in C is an unjustified risk". Case in point, in a world where Heartbleed actually happened, that should've led to maintainers admitting that their language of choice isn't the right tool for the job.

As engineers we must be pragmatic. Yet many act like you're attacking their kids if you say "your programming language of choice is ill-suited for writing safe code".

This surprises me to this day, though I guess it really shouldn't. Like you, I imagine a perfect world.
Alexey Guzey first came across my radar when his blog post on the institutions of Life Science[0] was posted here on HN. I was a neuroscience postdoc at the time. I found it partly true, with some experiences different from my own.

Then or soon after I saw he was working on New Science [1], an attempt at an alternative funding system for science outside of academia (my perspective, not his words). Having left academia myself, I found that intriguing and have always kept an eye on that space.

As for Guzey himself, who I've spoken with briefly on 1 occasion, I think he tries really hard to genuinely understand lots of things analytically and empirically, which is admirable. But anyone who does this will inevitably have blind spots that experts (or those with more life experience) spot immediately.

My hot take after meeting him was that he's very curious. He seemed like he's not afraid to be wrong, perhaps to a fault, and would rather just say what he thinks and have you tell him where he's wrong, than tiptoe with uncertainty.

I just tried to bend my CMOS sensor around a film spool, and can confirm. Film is more flexible...

More seriously it does depend on your definition of flexible. Being able to switch speeds (ASA numbers) without having to replace the film or carry multiple cameras is a huge flexibility win for digital all on its own.
