Just in case any folks are thinking about switching and wondering where else to go, there have generally been 2 alternatives:
- Another PaaS - people love render, Railway, Vercel. Heroku is still best-in-class even if not free. Replit has a PaaS built in now too that is getting very real.
- Going to the raw cloud e.g. AWS or GCP. As much as folks say that terraform or pulumi or CDK has made this easy, it's just really not the same thing to get a great developer experience without a ton of work.

There's a new class of tools emerging that represents a 3rd way. withcoherence.com (I'm a cofounder) gives you the preview environments, built-in pipelines, and friendly UX that Vercel has set the standard with, while operating against your GCP or AWS account. Lock-in, uptime, service diversity, compliance, and pricing are all better on AWS/GCP than a PaaS. Coherence even adds a built-in Cloud IDE, giving you a gitpod or github codespace alternative with zero additional config or integration work.

Most of the "PaaS in your own cloud" category is a pile of kubernetes abstraction. Coherence is something different, that represents a real alternative for teams that are used to a great workflow, but who don't want to invest the time to glue together open source and IaaS, or who aren't a fit for enterprise grade CNCF-based tooling.

If anyone wants to check it out more or has any questions, happy to answer them or to help with migrations - just hit up hn@withcoherence.com!

Yeah, these balloons that can hold small car to school bus sized payloads are not like a commercially available thing. It seems like they'd require truckloads of helium, which is a hard gas to store and not always available in massive quantities (seems like it should be prioritized for keeping MRI scanners cool instead of balloons). The balloons are probably really hard to produce, not made in great numbers, and require specialized equipment and processes to launch without puncturing. Not quite an airplane's cost but this isn't the send-a-gopro-to-100,000ft type of trick that relied entirely on products available to consumers.

It's also possible whomever is running this operation doesn't care about their staff at all and they just use hydrogen.
I wonder how much is going into location technology much like ShotSpotter but for rockets and mortar and all that sort of thing. They may already know the origins of fire but maybe can't fire back at that precise location or something?
> I want a ruling as fast as possible

Dear God, no. Let the tech keep moving forward so we can show the legislators and the world the kinds of things we can build unimpeded.

Do you think anyone will be "just an artist" if we can put the entire power of Disney/Pixar in their back pocket? People will be making astonishing things by the time this decade closes out.

AI translates raw thought to material form without requiring the talent, capital, and blood/sweat resources to craft it. It'll improve our society's ability to make sense of one another.

Your average Reddit poster might have a lot that they want to say. Your average engineer might dream of stories they can never tell. That cliff of impossibly, and the opportunity cost to climb it, will no longer stand in our way.

Please let's not stop the biggest, most important series of advances in our lifetimes to squabble over dated copyright. The concept binds us to the past.

The one true equalizer will be when no one is held back by the hard choices they had to make to specialize. The penalties paid for not having time, money, or access. These developments are an evolution of our collective capabilities, an elevation of the things we can accomplish by ourselves or together, and a challenge to dream even bolder.
> That feeling when you fat fingered one resistor value on the BOM

Three short stories:

I did this board almost twenty years ago. FPGAs and a bunch of other stuff. Signals going all the way up to 1.7 GHz. I got the signal and power integrity design of the PCB as close to perfect as could be. It passed emissions testing as well. Somehow I managed to lay out the $5 DC power in connector backwards. Yup. The joke was I could be trusted with multi-giga-Hertz designs but I suck at DC.

More recently, we had a few hundred boards assembled. Due to supply chain issues some of the parts on that board are in the "unobtanium" category. The pick-and-place machine screwed-up and rotated some of these impossible-to-get components on a couple dozen boards. Somehow optical inspection did not pick up on it (I have my theory on that one). We blew the top off a couple of those chips on power-up before understanding there was a problem and re-inspecting everything. You can't buy the chips (50+ week lead times) so, a couple dozen of these $1K+ boards are on a pile waiting for new chips.

Finally, I found myself having to hand-solder 800 resistors on a bunch of boards because the interface to a device these were talking to changed without notice, requiring pull-downs. The board had no pads for pull-downs. I had to solder these 0402 resistors to existing pads shared by other SMT components. It was about twelve hours of pure agony.

That's why I say I must be demented. I like hardware, and I can hate it just as much.
Cannons are very short range. The fighter would have to approach the balloon at a high closure rate, creating some risk of a mid-air collision.

With a missile, the pilot can shoot from several miles out and never has to fly directly at the target. So, it's much safer.

> It does not explain why these were observed on radar as well.

The lens flare was caused by the camera looking at the ass end of another jet. The radar saw the other jet.

For even one of these videos to have a mundane explanation that should have been obvious to the Navy upon investigation, I think that discredits the lot. Either the Navy couldn't figure it out themselves (which seems highly improbable), or for some reason the Navy is deliberately misleading the public, or at the very least allowing some of their personnel to mislead the public and playing coy about it. I think this is what's happening.

88% of US households already have heat pumps, and 66% of households have centralised heat pump systems - otherwise known as air conditioning.

If you can afford to have them just for cooling, you can afford to have them for heating as well; in fact, the capital cost may well be lower if people just used their air conditioning systems to heat as well.

The same goes for reliability - we manage to make air conditioning acceptably reliable and the tech is basically the same.
It's also a great way to test and hone one's missile shield with live unscheduled "drills" that may not be drills.

I wasn't trying to make it about me.. I am not in embedded software, though I've dabbled in it and that would have been a nice path to take instead.

But we all specialize in something and I don't really think I've gone down a path where any of those big companies would really ever be a good place for me now. I think whatever path you go down in terms of specialization would certainly influence your interactions with their recruiting.

I have been working/interviewing since the late 90s.. when I interviewed with various companies is over a 25 year period at this point, so they were not the same companies they are today. I interviewed at Apple in the late 90s when they were a mess, and I thought they were a mess. I didn't own a Mac, they were too expensive for me as a student, so I'm sure that didn't help. I turned down a job at MS out of college because they put a delay in the process and I'd gone elsewhere by the time they contacted me. MS would have been a better place for me to go to start. Google & Amazon I interviewed at > 10 years ago when public/industry opinion of them was much higher. By the time FB/Meta really got going I declined.. I have not had a strong opinion of them. However, of all my friends who have worked at the FAANG companies the ones who work at Meta seem the happiest, with the ones who worked Amazon having had the most unhappy experience and Google seemingly in the middle.
That’s definitely not their limit since they can shoot down satellites at the altitude of the International Space Station. And that’s the stuff we’re allowed to know about.
It’s interesting to me that dang overrode community moderation of this story [1] yesterday. Without having first even read it. A story that was based on an unverified anonymous source, by a discredited journalist, and which as we see now contained provably made up parts.

Because dang overrode moderation, that literal fake news (fake as in actually made up) was allowed to hover on the front page for a long time and given a legitimacy it didn’t deserve. It was able to be seen by a very large audience over a very long time.

Sadly an article that counters to that fake news makes it to the front page for a brief moment and after 3 hours is no on the 5th page.

So many of those people that saw the first will never see the second and get the wrong idea. It’s the old story about a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes. Sadly to me that it was Hacker News that decided to actively help spread the lie.

I really don't like such comments that like any nuance.

I know multiple companies that use Elm and many people depend on them for their livelihood.

I would not recommend it due because it has never been a really open source project and only the core maintainers were allowed to write libraries that interfaced with JS apis without the need of ports.

Still, it baffles me how many people would chime in and feel compelled to comment regardless of the fact that hundreds of projects out there make money with Elm.

Um, Mac sales skyrocketed during the pandemic. Anyway, Apple makes other products that use internet services too, like iPad, and... have you heard of iPhone? ;-)

App Store downloads also increased a lot during the pandemic.
I think it's that sites initially provide valuable services for free, at a loss. Users love them, and so they grow. But loving something and being willing to pay for it are very different.

The site expects, eventually, to stop losing money and even maybe earn a little profit. So after they've become popular and everybody seems to love them, they start trying to charge a little money here and there, or otherwise find some way to monetize.

Then the site realizes that all those users that love them so much, don't really love them enough to pay or to tolerate other irritating forms of monetization.

So then the site has a choice:
A. Continue losing money forever
B. Keep up the monetization efforts, despite knowingly irritating and losing your customers, partners, content producers, etc.

And most reasonably choose option B, even though they know it's the death knell.
I wondered about this too. But even balloons are maneuverable in some sense, by changing their altitude. So maybe the meaning is more like "didn't maneuver in response to our presence".

"I generally support their goals, but what those activists are doing is a bit too weird and extreme" is a common pattern in political opinions. It's also an attitude competent activists try to cultivate. If activists don't push hard enough to make their supporters uncomfortable, they are not ambitious enough to be effective.

Bear in mind that serving Wikipedia pages (static text documents) is much simpler that AirBnB listings (dynamic image heavy content).

It is possible to create a faster AirBnB by changing some of the underlying constrained imposed on the system (eg by accepting to serve cached, stale, listings; or by lowering the amount of telemetry) but apparently Airbnb management does not think the tradeoff is worth it.

Of course you are entitled to think that these decision from Airbnb are wrong and that they are hurting their sales. But you know the saying: « The least you know about a problem, the more convinced you are that you have the right answer »

I don’t think that’s really such a good bet. The first one was supposedly the size of multiple buses. That is a bunch of computer hardware held up by a balloon rather than “just a balloon”. The price of such a thing could easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware, let alone any associated R&D costs.

That’s all before bringing up that the person I quoted claimed off-hand that it’s an order of magnitude difference. They’re probably rather similar in cost.
> With the recent trend of designers submitting their meticulously labeled designs to Figma

Oh god. I must have had this thought many times, but the way you structured this sentence finally made it click loud and clear for me: the AI revolution feeds on the previous era of user-generated content.

We've all spent the last ~two decades "submitting our meticulously labeled" content to all kinds of platforms. While it quickly became an open secret that those platforms are taking on the hosting and delivery costs in exchange for exposing us to ads (and profiling us to get a better deal on those ads), I'm not sure if anyone predicted that the user-generated content itself will become pure gold. Right now, every platform that owns a large amount of user-generated content is sitting on a mother lode: a corpus of labeled examples of a type of content, ready to be fed into ML models for training.

Random examples off the top of my head: Facebook could train a ChatGPT on its own corpus of posts and comments, but could also make a model that generates plausibly looking digital records of populations, complete with personality quirks, relationships, photos, etc. Hell, if they get their VR fairy land off the ground, they could actually populate it with such virtual people - solving the problem of NPCs in games being obviously scripted and boring (and also solving the "chicken and egg" problem of a social network by using AI as ultimate astroturfing/sockpuppeting tool).

Makes me wonder if we'll see more and more barriers popping up on those platforms, to make it difficult for competition to just scrap the content at scale.
I appreciate the reply and suggest just stating that it is Chinatown-International District with no additional adjectives other than expensive (or not) like you did with the other neighborhoods listed.

I have a connection with the C-ID and it is a neighborhood like any other and is in my opinion one of the more vibrant neighborhoods food-wise in Seattle despite (or due to it?) being working class.
quick comment - if you have to note in the readme that it's pronounced "diesel cad" you should just rename it "dieselcad" and be done with that stumbling block.
I'd imagine you're asking like, how did they _physically_ do it? That is an interesting question, I'd love to see pictures.

But from an infrastructural standpoint I'd imagine that just putting a bespoke Linux distro on each of the phones and connecting them to the same network would enable the same kinds of orchestration you'd do in a "regular cloud."
I feel your pain, it also is annoying that the Mac laptop keyboard is nonstandard/has that Fn key to further mess up muscle memory. Luckily I tend to adapt to whatever I’m using before too long, but my docking station and full keyboard is my “default”
Well, of course, how many of the east coast minicomputer companies are still around? That said, I agree in general, there's probably a general difference in approach between east coast and west coast. (And the mix of companies--and government--is generally different and reflects that.)
I remember seeing a few medium posts on Hacker News a few years ago. They all had good tone management; but when read with a critical eye, they were factually incorrect or had poor comprehension of the subject matter.

It got the point where, if I saw "medium.com" next to a link I'd think, "oh, that's a medium post" and not open it. If I accidentally opened a Medium post, I'd close it immediately without reading it.

"Medium.com" is a stamp of mediocracy, IMO. I just won't read them.
Well, they can start free, get 1M users, and then try to monetize.

Or they can charge up front, get zero users, and then find something else to do with their time.
Can't find anything remotely recent on a list of shoot-down incidents on Wikipedia (aside from these balloons), but I'd not be surprised if a few smuggling-related drones have been shot down in the last couple decades, depending on what we're counting.

This was my experience as well. Elm is/was damn solid.
It may be an unpopular opinion but every one is celebrating too early. It depends a lot on the economy in next 6 months. I hope this will put a pressure on Apple and they won't resort to layoffs.
Counter-battery radar that can track artillery shells or ballistic rockets back to their point of origin have been around for many years now; the Israelis surely know exactly where the rockets are being fired from. I think they (usually) avoid firing back because they know there would be civilian casualties and want to avoid some of that bad PR.

One such system operated by Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EL/M-2084
Yes, and that's why we should oppose more tax increases and more government spending, and focus instead on how to make government more efficient and get more value for the money we do spend.
Not really. It could just as easily be interpreted as referring to two separate beings of equal power and status than one being in two persons.

John 10:30 mentioned above seems more clear, but just prior to that you have "My Father who has given them to Me", which makes no sense if they are literally the same being. Neither does Christ on the cross asking why God has forsaken him.

The problem is the Biblical canon manifested out of what were countless differing philosophies and schools of thought in early Christianity, and John seems to be one of the more mystical books to make it in. But Christianity couldn't even agree on the nature of Jesus' divinity at first, and went to war against itself for centuries over details like this.
While I appreciate the problems that you're describing, I'm dubious that it violates the 4th amendment. In particular look at the Private Search Exemption. Which says that the 4th amendment does NOT apply to searches done by private parties. And if a private party has voluntarily done the search and reported it to the government, the government may redo the search without a warrant, but can't exceed what the private party said.

This applies here because both KYC and AML procedures are set up and carried out by private banks. Which makes it a private search, that fits squarely in the exemption.

In turn this begs the question of whether the government can encourage through intentionally vague regulation behavior that they cannot directly ask for. But given the courts we have, I suspect they will avoid answering this question.

Furthermore it is hardly the worst violation of the 4th that is common. I'm personally most incensed about civil forfeiture. Through the workaround of suing your stuff instead of you, all Constitutional protections are voided. The result is essentially legalized robbery by the government, carried out by the very law enforcement departments that directly profit from the proceeds. Given that the courts have repeatedly OKed this, why would you expect them to object to KYC and AML?
Show HN: Feedgrid.io- RSS reader with a grid UI for serious infotainment junkies
What:

Feedgrid is a news aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds.

It lets you organize your feeds into related topics and view feed items in 2-dimensional grids, rather than a single infinite scroll column.

The goal is to have a highly configurable tool to organize diverse feeds in a visual way, and then easily check for new content with a bird's eye view.

Why:

- there’s a lot of stuff on the web, but you want it in 1 place, organized by categories that make sense to you

- RSS is nice in principle but most readers feel like an overloaded email inbox (i.e. kinda stressful—you already have other inboxes to deal with..)

- you like breadth-first search rather than depth-first search when you’re on the john and looking for some infotainment, but TikTok is frenetic and unsettling to you because you still like reading

How:

- we’re running a Django app with some minimal js in the frontend, and serve grid pages as a modest-sized html blob with enough content for one sitting, and offer old-school pagination to get more content

- the backend web scraping is entirely separate from the server, and uses scrapy. Scrapers are deployed on VMs, launching scrapy crawler instances dynamically based on feed SLA data in the db; there is no “scheduler”, but rather long-running parent coordinators launching child subprocesses as needed, so SLAs (and other attributes) can be modified by site admins without touching spiders
