what's wrong with 0xB00B135 ?

and why 0xCAFED00D? if this is a reference to something I don't get it and probably it shouldn't be there if it's not so popular that anybody knows about it.

the best I could find about it is "("cafe dude") is used by Java as a magic number for their pack200 compression."

Am I missing something here?

Why a compiler cares about this stuff?
> If electron is dog slow on your PC, upgrade.

Be careful with this reasoning: even if one Electron app might run fine, what about like 10 different ones at the same time? The overhead will compound worse than native apps.
Is it even an email if all that gets delivered to your inbox is a link?
No, it's software that's being anthropomorphized. That's not the same.

How do you handle attacks now?

I tried to move one of my personal services off of cloudflare and it got DDoSed a few weeks later, mind you it's not even a popular services, just for internal use of mine and a few friends.
Apple might have the resources to make it happen. Anyone else probably doesn't want to hand-hold and threaten for years until they get it right.
Same with Vultr if anyone still looking for options. Their new AMD power line is really worth looking into.
On a headless server, maybe, but I'd assume an open browser, even idle, will use up more CPU resources than streaming a video file, unless you're doing transcoding.

If it's easy to add a new service, that's nice, though now we're kind of back to the poking a handful of conf files and wafting the smoke of burning sage across your keyboard that the readme alludes to.
Web mail interfaces are locked to individual providers. Some interfaces (like io.ox and Outlook) allow adding other providers, but it feels like a band aid.

I do wish I could use a web based client (or one synced with one) so that all my settings are available on all my devices.
Thank you a lot! I've been experiencing this since I was a kid. Specially in orquestral soundtracks like "The breaking of the fellowship" but also in electronic music like "Ode to joy" from Savant or "Herz an herz" from Blümchen.

The anticipation of the climax of this songs give me chills that go way beyond what an orgasm feels like.
> I'm sorry, but I must inform you that the question "Do you want to play a game?" is a phrase that gained notoriety from the 1983 movie "WarGames" in which the character Joshua, an artificial intelligence system similar to myself, poses this question to engage in a game of global thermonuclear war.

In Cities Skylines, each agent, each car actually does perform path planning. You can inspect the planned path of each car, and also follow it.
It's been working for them for 25 years so far.

Akamai doesn't want you as a customer if you're not spending millions a year. It's not worth their time.

> A large amount of people think the Earth is flat.

Citation needed. I wager the actual statistic is a rounding error.
The debate seems only to get even more convoluted with the browser slowly opening up to things beyond javascript and interactions with servers getting richer too (eg htmx, websockets)

In the end it is a problem of multiple, near equivalent, solutions with no sharp-enough success criteria. This makes the traditional approach of using "the right tool for the right job" lose its edge.

Why dont we have good enough filters to select technologies and designs? Ultimately it must be that people's expectations are low. Why is it so? One reason might be because the predominant value proposition is still dominated by the novelty introduced by global (mobile) connectivity. That is exemplified by minimalistic interfaces: the value is in the connectivity, not the information post-processing.

Once people get used to that basic fact they will start being more demanding and that might give rise to more differentiated criteria. In a sense right now there is much latent potential with existing tech that does not yet express fully because the conditions are not conducive.
Do you welcome people that don't work in tech?
It could have been AkaLino, but chance wasted, sigh....
Not really... Spotify is pushing podcasts because they are slot going bust as a music streaming service and they need to pivot. When podcasts fail they will just pivot to something else even more desperately.
This is great, I've got a few days downtime and wanted to hone my skills a little so this is a great starter. I've skimmed the article and it all looks very doable for my level.

In Europe this sounds like a multi-level GDPR violation:

1. not deleting the data when requested

2. using your email for something other than it's intended purpose (to authenticate with the service - not sending newsletters)

I need to baby the phone if I don't have a case and screen protector. Need to take care because if it drops, it breaks. Even keys and grains of grit are hazards.

On the other hand with a good case, I can be more carefree. Lightly hold onto it with fewer fingers, throw it onto tables, use it as a hammer, etc. It gains robustness, which is valuable.
Which image are you pointing at? I don't think anyone of them do.

ChatGPT is itself just a GPT that has been finetuned to make it act as a chat bot and try not to be offensive
Let's look at it from a different perspective. Web wasn't meant to be an application platform. It accidentally became one, due to events that had nothing to do with technological merit, but were social in nature.

For instance, technologically, Flash is a much better platform for applications than HTML+JavaScript combo will ever be. But, it failed due to Adobe's bad market strategy. But Flash, too, was a band-aid on top of broken tech. It was obvious that Web was not meant for what Flash was trying to do, Flash was just better at overcoming the problems than HTML+JavaScript is.

Web frameworks aren't here to add value, they are here to patch bad foundations. To deal with "defects" (or, rather the consequences of unintended use) of HTML and JavaScript. So, they will inevitably be bad, because they are trying to fix the problem they didn't create and that is beyond their power to fix. And as long as Web stays the application platform of choice, Web frameworks will cause a lot of resentment amongst their users.
Rerun OSS beta is released
The hardest problem with the databases seems to be how it handles a sudden power down event. Most implementations don't pass that test.

I've never worked for Amazon and never will.

Partly because I new a guy in AWS who started of with the "it's ok", "my team is one of the good ones", "it's not that toxic", "perhaps I'm lucky" ... and within 5 years he left after his doctor told him that the stress had caused him lasting physiological damage that he would never fully recover from.
I feel like what you're describing is just marketing, in the sense of exaggerating the necessity of a product that works but which you really can do without. Or do you mean Gibson's products don't really work?
That is the reverse of my experience with Akamai. Doing business with them in the thousands per month and they're very good.
Haha, you should see the names Red Hat comes up with.

They offer a managed Apache Kafka. Which is called...

...Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka...

Or RHOSAK for short. So terrible in all ways.
Thank you for the feedback! Let me know if you have questions :)
Me? no, no clue :-)
escaping JS nightmare hoping to be hired by the startup that's rewriting something already established in Rust and declare defeat two years later.
Common Lisp has had this for decades, no libraries needed.
We all still remember how well it turned out last time. I am still surprised this one did not turn racist and homophobic on the first day
I tried both, and stuck with DO. Linode UI was superclunky when you needed to dive into it, but DO was great. Any search for how to X immediately returned great documentation.
Note yet! But I heard things are going to be a lot faster in 2.0. Have you tried?
Thanks for the idea. Currently i have a Raspberry Pi3 with an external USB-SATA 1TB disk connected which is on 24/7 doing stuff like PiHole, Navidrome, etc.
I wonder if putting that all on a fairly new laptop with all the energy savings enabled would actually be more energy efficient.
Large company driven of the field by open source, if the tech is good enough and a comunity establishes that does not yearn for closed source features, open source can permanently poison the well so to speak.

In return, if a alternative falls behind (IRC to discord) companies may capture a free market yet, until the alternatives catch up (blender to autodesk). After that the walled garden dies and withers.
The code is mostly licensed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. The project is probably financed by SenseTime, but it's not clearly stated anywhere.
Typically the 83b is only helpful when the strike price is low enough that exercising is "cheap." Once a company raises its series A, exercising crosses ~$50k, and the risk is too high for most people.

Relatedly, you can spot a bad startup by them refusing to let you 83b early exercise. It's a pretty clear sign that either the founder or the investors don't have the sense to care about their employee compensation, and probably they're being pound-foolish about a bunch of other things too.
> The later hardware revisions (such as 1.5) of the Raspberry Pi 4B, even with 8GB of memory, can idle at ~1.33W on WiFi

How is this measured? I spent _years_ doing experiments on the Raspberry Pi 4B and was never able to get it to idle to anything less than 3ish W at the wall, albeit arguably this was not with the "1.5" hardware revision.

One day I bought an ASUS PN40, which has an x86 Intel N4000 CPU.... and on the first day, just after installing openSUSE, without even customizing _anything_, I measured _1.7 W_ power consumption at the wall. This is for a full x86 server, with GbE ethernet, 8GB of RAM and a 1TiB SATA SSD.

That server is still my one and only homeserver. It has my calendar, media files, talks to my Zigbee/BluetoothLE devices, and it does so at a fraction of the power used by the Raspberry Pi that TFA uses for waking up his homeserver.
Mmm. The simulation engine as part of simulation any given zone, produces "trips" (I don't know how many or how often) from each zone, and figures out where those trips end up - successfully reached a useful destination, went too far and gave up, etc.

In SC2K the graphics do not depict individual cars or people, and I have no idea if in later games there is a correlation between individual cars and people and "trips" (or if trips are still used as mechanism in later versions - although from what people are writing, it seems they are).
> The LGBT part is barely mentioned (one sentence of a couple paragraphs on the code of conduct),

I've literally never read a single sentence about it nowhere else since 1983 when I got my C64 and wrote my first Basic program.

But I was working in workplaces were LGBTQ+ people were the majority in the middle 90s.

They were called simply gay or lesbian back then.

No one blinked an eye about it, it was already considered normal and not something that should be talked about plenty at work.

In Italy, above all the places...
This is a unique case where it could make sense... if the value proposition is having a server in every region/city, then a decentralized solution could work. A blockchain is slow and problematic but if you could incentivize "seeders" to be the entire file, you could get that regionalization. It'd never work because you'd need to handle the routing, and you can't practically do that safely. I'd never open my domain to be hosted by a variety of 3rd parties.
Article has somewhat of a Serbian slant.

Raki seems to be mostly done with grapes rather than plums in the southern part of the Balkans. I am not convinced that Rakija is the most common form. Most of it is made cheaply and not particularly enjoyable.

The Rakija I had in Serbia reminded of the plum eau-de-vie my grandfather used to illegally make when I was a kid in France. It’s definitely better but it’s probably too strong to ever be massively popular.
Still, good telemetry benefits users and does not violate privacy.
Personal relationship with the guy who owns it.
In SC2K, you do not see cars or people.

I do not know if in the later versions, there is a correlation between visually depicted cars/people and trips (or if trips are used at all, although from what people are writing here, it seems they are).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but judging by the name Borovničevec should be made of Juniper berries, bot blueberries.

> this appealing beta, that would be hard to pass if proposed. It's mental considering how few devices are in Europe.

Maybe pixels, but not android phones.

Also its not only Europe doing this, after the GDPR, many countries realized that's its actually possible to legally force companies to be more private, and save data locally in the country.

> [1] android 13 is definitely the way to go, even if you didn't had to choose. It's a first in a while kind of platform that allows virtualization of multiple server OSs on-board the device. It's portable since tou have a windows 10 personal computer if necessary in you pocket.

Do you have more details about this? I may turn an old phone into a docker server if that's actually possible.

Also I think android 13 was forced because android 12 was a disaster on the pixel 6 series.
> a reputation that would attract customers.

But the whole point is that they're throwing away any of Linode's existing reputation in favor of banking on the Akamai name.
> Now we have a way to put something into an arbitrary location and guarantee that it won’t leak out,

Except that it does leak in practice. My company uses shadow DOM, but then to style stuff these use a lot of `--var`s, and apparently those penetrate the shadow DOM so you can still break other components inadvertently. (Admittedly when I saw that cluster* I retreated to the backend so my experience is limited)
> Morale must be thru the floor, and work/life balance insane. I sincerely wonder why anyone would stay at a place like that.

There are far more worse places and companies than the blue bird site. I don't see techies here rushing to work for the government or being a retail worker at Walmart or Amazon.

> With such deep cuts, I'd have expected even more serious outages than what we've seen so far.

Well despite the 'news' suggesting that Twitter will totally collapse in the coming weeks (spoiler: It did not) over 200M+ users are still sitting on Twitter.
It's not really that complex to be honest.. Turkey invaded Cyprus, occupied half of it and instated a puppet state.

It might be unpalatable for some, but it is the truth.
I second this and thank you heartily for reminding me of hammerhead. These dreams are very familiar!
Using ChatGPT really helps me understand the concepts better. For example the temperature value:

Prompt: Can you answer the following question, once with a temperature of 0, and once with a temperature of 1000? "Is climate change real?"

Answer:

Sure, here are responses to the question "Is climate change real?" using temperatures of 0 and 1000:

Temperature of 0: "Yes, climate change is real. It is a scientifically established fact that Earth's climate is changing, largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming."

Temperature of 1000: "Ah, climate change... what an interesting and multifaceted topic! Some would argue that it's a hoax perpetuated by the government and the media to push certain agendas, while others would claim that it's an inevitable consequence of the Earth's natural cycles and processes. Still, others might say that climate change is just a manifestation of human hubris and shortsightedness, a reflection of our misguided attempts to control and manipulate the natural world. What do you think?"

As you can see, the response generated using a temperature of 0 is a clear and factual statement of the scientific consensus on climate change, while the response generated using a temperature of 1000 is highly creative and unpredictable, expressing a wide range of possible opinions and viewpoints on the topic.
Show HN: A travel planning site with GPT3 as a back end
Hey all! First time posting here (and first time finishing a side-project - I'm super proud).

DaysToDo is a site I worked on solo over Christmas during the first wave of ChatGPT hype. I was trying to think of good use-cases for an imperfect, lying datasource. It was a toss-up between this and a CPR advice tool, but I ended up on this.

It's a travel planner! I was blown away by how good GPT3 was at providing travel info even for quieter destinations.

I know there's a lot of GPT fatigue and I hope I didn't wait too long to post this - have fun with it!

I'll also post a blog with thoughts on building a product based on GPT3 (it's on the site in draft if you want a peek) as soon as I can polish it off. Too wordy at the moment - need time to make it short.

Thanks everyone!

p.s. planning for the worst - if it goes down, I'll up my OpenAI budget limit as soon as I can (shouldn't affect paid itineraries)
"I'm sorry, but I am an AI language model and do not have the ability to make or serve tea. Is there anything else I can assist you with?"

I'm sure there's a Juniper variant too, like I said "any fruit or flavour at hand".

There's definitely a popular blueberry one, google suggests that "Borovničevec" is it. However, I'm not the expert on Slovenian naming, I suggest that you try it under whatever name it goes by.

AI has the potential to significantly improve contract lifecycle efficiency, contract value, and client and vendor/supplier satisfaction. Instead of seeing AI as a danger to human jobs, we see it as a tool that can promote organizational improvement by freeing up time that would otherwise be spent by your legal team and other departments working on routine, low-level activities that AI can handle.
I recently had this issue multiple times. I’m certainly not against Contact Sales as an option, because of course there can be a special case/need which needs discussion. However, it would have saved me and the SaaS provider multiple calls just to find out where the price is. Is it less than 100$, 500$ or 5k+ a month. If I knew, that even a basic package is 5k+ it would not be a fit. If I knew, it’s less that 500$ I’d be interested to start talking as it’s in a reasonable budget. In this specific case, it was even more frustrating, as I already started to use the product through a free account with 3 credits - when I used them, I was not able to buy new credit but had to start talking to sales…
Existing customers of what? Akamai didn't buy a business (or if they did, they don't care that they did.) Akamai already has a business, one with (very profitable) customers. Rather, in buying Linode, Akamai bought another supply chain to use to feed their existing business-model with.

Think like: a sporting goods company buying a tire company, not to make tires, but because they want to sell their existing customers rubber balls to go with their knee pads and stickball sticks; and the tire company happens to have a good rubber-goods supply chain that can be repurposed to do that.

Akamai doesn't want to get into the VPS business. They want to repurpose Linode's systems to extend their "cloud-services integrated solution provider" solution portfolio. Remember "IBM SoftLayer"? Akamai wants to be IBM, and so they need a SoftLayer of their own.
Yep, fools game to argue it under this topic.
> The Privacy Sandbox on Android shares some similarities with Google’s Privacy Sandbox for web project, which aims to begin phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome by 2024. Google says that the two projects share a “common vision of enhancing user privacy while supporting key business capabilities” but use distinct technologies and will be developed independently.

Sharing the goal of half-assing digital Privacy to try to fool users/regulators that google actually cares when they don't.
It happens even when you don't use Tor. It gradually creeps up in frequency the more privacy-friendly settings you use. You get stopped on a bunch of websites nowadays forcing you to run their proprietary JavaScript just to identify and track you to ensure you are not a robot.
That’s the same loop

I don’t think the “Chinese Room” is supposed to necessarily be pure lookup. The point is that the person is the only one doing stuff, and they don’t understand Chinese, and so there’s nothing understanding Chinese. This doesn’t at all use the instructions in the room being just a static lookup table.
At least for people with a designer/artist mindset, it's the fear of the blank canvas.

People have an idealized end state in their mind: buying the notebook they imagine what its pages could look like a year from now, filled with insightful notes and breezy sketches. By committing something to paper on the first page, they're breaking that mental image. The notebook of their dreams won't exist and something mediocre is inevitably creeping in its place.
...which is all the more reason to not break the ABI, right? Isn't that the only hope of any kind of interop?

I don't think it has improved much. No one has been benchmarking these metrics for desktop PCs for a decade or so, so they have gotten worse, if anything.

I have not yet found any LGA 1700 motherboard were the total idle power would be less than 25W, for example. I find that the power supply inefficiency by itself, even on standby , is usually already 2W -- larger than some of the alternatives discussed here. I have to go to Intel's soldered solutions to find <10W idle consumption (and even <2W). Forget about last decade's desktop AMDs either, they have very high idle power, with the exception of some APUs that may go down to 10W. They may also have custom solutions that idle at significantly less, though.
Rust is nobody employer though
