A translation tool like PoEdit can mass translate a bunch of text strings using a few different services. It's the simplest demonstration of the lower quality of Google Translate vs. DeepL at least for shorter strings. GTranslate rarely knows how a native speaker would say short phrases and concepts, preferring to translate them literally.

I'm surprised you haven't run into problems with community verified translations. They're so predictably poor that I'd stop using GTranslate just to avoid that.
It's laggy on Safari on Mac too. It's moving at like 15 FPS, so it's pretty choppy.

One perk of work-from-home is that I try to structure my day around sunrise like this. I set my alarm for sunrise (usually I only adjust it once a week), with the nice perk that when DST rolls around I don't lose any sleep, I just wake up "later".

I am far enough north that at some point as summer rolls around, I transition to sunset based structure, setting my morning alarm for 9 or 10 hours after sunset.
Obviously someone who has good enough position to take semi-clear photo and who knows you so well, that has phone full of your face, will not recognize you directly, but will be convinced that you are robber after looking at photo. At this point we can go full HN and assume that you will be convinced anyway, because judge is GPT-based bot.

This "future" is present in current Pixel lineup btw. Photos are tagged as unblured, so for now you can still safely take a selfie with your friends.
You would be wrong about SATA being faster than SSD. Which is why fast SSDs use NVMe. Also, SSDs are much larger and cheaper than RAM. 1TB RAM is still expensive, 1TB SSD is $60.

RAM storage has been tried before but was done as PCIe expansion card. It didn’t catch on cause of special drivers, but it only made sense back before NVMe and SSDs were expensive.
I think the limitations are in optics and the signal processing stack, rather than the CMOS sensor. A better lens can go a long way.

I find myself sometimes wondering with things like Peleton and Juicero, what would happen if Ron Popeil was born a couple decades later so he had access to the same VC those companies did?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Popeil
$1 per GB is $1000 per TB. I just bought a 1TB SSD for about $70. With such a large price difference you'd be better off buying a new SSD every year or more often, if you're worried about it wearing out.
I find it curious that people against paid software and supposedly proponents of open source software have no problem using and supporting tools that directly copy paid software, such as that found in Octave, matplotlib, and Julia, which likely breaks licenses. For example, you will find algorithms in Julia directly copied from open source bits of MATLAB (at least that was several years ago). I make the assumption that Octave does the same, beyond the API copying. Isn't that against the supposed philosophy of GNU software?

Am I missing something? I just don't understand how to reconcile blatantly copying tools, at least the APIs are copied, with the apparent philosophy of open source software, particularly GNU software.

For example, from Octave's documentation:

https://wiki.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ&mobileactio...?

They tell you what to do with your own software, but they are embarking on basically creating a free (as in price) version of paid, proprietary software. Even if there are not direct violations of MATLAB licensing or IP claims, it feels the two approaches are in conflict.

This is an honest question, because it isn't clear to me what the resolution of this apparent conflict is. Maybe someone has some insight.

It's probably the 433mhz (and other sub-Ghz) functions connected to easy to use UX that really scare them. Brazil's aristocracy live and work in little walled compounds and 433mhz can open pretty much any of their gates or jam it so the owners can't open their gate and they get boxed in by a couple cars.
I had (still have somewhere) one of these! Installation of Windows XP took 20 seconds! I was flabbergasted.

First up, as the gp explains, the cost isn't the biggest hurdle.

Secondly, research institutes have little money. For example: you may think the world has been on HDMI since somewhere around 2010 or so. Think again. End of 2021, my research institute replaced their monitors, which meant i no longer was using VGA out on a daily basis.

(Computers typically are on a 3- or 4-year replacement cycle; monitors, projectors, keyboards, etc. aren't. )
My desktop is around 13 years old. Upgraded a few times. Still more than enough for my linux, firefox, movies, casual photogrpah.

However, I also work with machine learning and rust and both these tasks are a bit too heavy for the desktop (i.e. I can work, but it takes much longer than on my 64GB intel-top-of-the line PC at work).

In northern latitudes, the switch to daylight savings all year round means that you drive to work in complete darkness and get home just after sunset.

There is no additional hour of "after work, enjoy the still light evening".

The change to permanent daylight savings time has much more support in southern latitudes where the more light after 5pm and tourism has a larger impact on the local economies.

So essentially the police got some doctors to make up a condition called "Excited Delirium". Symptoms of Excited Delirium include "Police Noncompliance" and sweating. They have created "treatment protocols" for Excited Delirium which include the immediate administration of intravenous ketamine. Often EMS arrives after police and take their word that the symptoms of Exited Delirium were displayed since the police should be in the best position to know whether the main symptom of "Police Noncompliance" was present.

You can learn more about Excited Delirium in this whitepaper which is the basis for claiming its a real condition. https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/acep_repo...

And you can read more about MPD's "treatment protocols" and read some horrifying case studies in this oversight report that audited body cameras of encounters when ketamine was administered. https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/File/1853/Pre-Hospit...
Slightly tangental, Fidelity also has the option to put your accounts in "lock down" mode to prevent funding *outflows* (even transfers between accounts). This can help secure your account in addition to 2FA. I learned about this recently after +10yrs at Fidelity. Sadly, I don't think it is enabled by default.

I wish my bank had the same sort of option to prevent someone from just randomly guessing my account number for an ACH transfer.
it hung a fair way into a reasonably deep "conversation" and then I had to start again because it did not remember previous convos, and it actually left me quite distressed

Your understanding of banks taking in deposits then lending them out hasn't been true for decades. A bank with no deposits can make loans just fine. They can just borrow at a lower rate than they loan if they actually need to hand out cash.

Your example doesn't make much since because any bank has many good loans and a capital reserve to deal with the few bad loans.

> can you explain how it is possible for a bank to have far more loans on their books than they have deposits (see: fractional reserve banking)?

Fractional reserve banking is about having more deposits (on the liability side) than reserves (on the assets side).

I won't say that it's not possible for a bank to have far more loans on their books than they have deposits (they could finance themselves differently) but I'm not sure if that actually happens. Can you give an example of a bank having far more loans on their books than they have deposits?

Read a stat only 2.7% of SVB’s deposits were under the $250k FDIC insurance threshold. Wasn’t sure if this was in $ or customer accounts terms.

If the latter, that’s a good predictor of the probability bank runs at other institutions.

When the VCs started advising their portfolio cos to pull out, it toppled the dominoes very fast. If SVB had a higher retail account mix, this probably would have been a slightly different outcome.

One report said depositors tried to pull out $45B before it went down. It would many HNI retail depositors doing a simultaneous withdrawal to trigger a failure. Not impossible, just much lower probability of that occurring.
Fidelity also offers an alternative, to its automated FDIC-insured deposit sweep, of keeping a brokerage/retirement account's cash in SPAXX, which is currently yielding 4.22%. (Both options are mostly transparent to the UX, and happen automatically -- you normally only see the dollar total, and a monthly interest/dividend transactions.)

SPAXX is riskier than FDIC-insured sweep, but I don't know how much riskier.

> Welcome Center now has a mobile-friendly layout. The content itself is still fairly desktop-focused, but this will soon change as well!

Why can the desktop have a desktop-focused look and the mobile a mobile-friendly layout? Said another way, Why does the experience for everyone must degrade the most popular common denominator?
I'm going to disagree with current comments here, I think the rationale for banning here is not far-fetched. It is analog to the guns vs knives argument in my opinion: of course you can kill people with any tool, but guns just make it too easy, and thus should be more tightly controlled. Before Brazil figures out how to contain the damage from such tools that ultimately facilitate crime, their sales can wait.
To elaborate on the sibling comment: Julia has (1) multimethods / multiple dispatch capabilities, (2) you can dynamically define new types and methods at runtime, (3) everything is aggressively devirtualized/compiled to machine code when possible. That requires the capability of discarding and recompiling code that has already been compiled and cached when a new method is defined at runtime. Worse even, just importing a new library might invalidate some of the compiled cached code. For me, capabilities 1,2,and 3 make the cost of a complicated compilation model worth it. But it also means it takes a lot of time to improve the compiler (this type of better caching was not at all a low hanging fruit).
The parent is probably talking about the section where they clipped the highlights and details where added back in by the phone.
Minor correction, people employed by companies that banked with SVB are also heavily affected here.

How has the experience been with Cloud66? Why them over using something like caprover?
It looks clear to me that given the hardware they need, and the scale they operate at, buying their own metal makes sense. Also them sticking to similar servers is a good idea imho.

What I am missing though in the monthly cost is the personnel cost. I would assume that a decently qualified system and network administrator in Singapore, capable of operating and servicing this setup, will cost upward of $10,000 per month. And only having one is probably not enough, due to SPOF and other considerations. To be honest, even for the cloud you probably need someone to administer the setup, but chances are high that there is much less to do.

Paying for, and finding qualified staff is from my experience the main driver for small and mid-size companies to go to the cloud. And for many this actually makes sense financially. Even though many create unnecessary complex setups or get trapped in vendor lock-ins.
If you code in Python, your probably should use the language as much as possible and avoid calling shell commands.

E.G:

- manipulate the file system with pathlib

- do hashes with hashlib

- zip with zipfile

- set error code with sys.exit

- use os.environ for env vars

- print to stderr with print(..., file=...)

- sometimes you'll need to install lib. Like, if you want to manipulate a git repo, instead of calling the git command, use gitpython (https://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)

But if you don't feel like installing a too many libs, or just really want to call commands because you know them well, then the "sh" lib is going to make things smoother:

https://pypi.org/project/sh/

Also, enjoy the fact Python comes with argparse to parse script arguments (or if you feel like installing stuff, use typer). It sucks to do it in bash .

If what you need is more build oriented, like something to replace "make", then I would instead recommend "doit":

https://pydoit.org/

It's the only task runner that I haven't run away from yet.

Remember to always to everything in a venv. But you can have a giant venv for all the scripts, and just she-bang the venv python executable so that it's transparent. Things don't have to be difficult.

Finally, sometimes it's just easier to do things in ipython directly. Indeed, with a good PYTHONSTARTUP script, you don't have to import everything, you get superb completion+help, and you can call any bash command by just doing "!cmd". In fact, the result can be store in a python variable. Also you can set autocall so that you don't have to write parenthesis in simple function calls.
Consul has been around for close to 9 years now, and people have in fact tried to use Consul in the very same way Fly did, in many different business and industries, with similarly failing outcomes. Hashicorp knows this and almost certainly would have counseled against it if asked.

SVB Fallout Spreads Around the World as UK Firms Plead for Help
I'm going to associate SVB with the worst thing to happen to Twitter, which people have been crowing for for years, long posts. Just awful.
There are no libertarians in a bank run.
If I had a personal account from my wage earnings and handful of profitable trades at Wells Fargo, my modest account would be reasonably protected through mandatory insurance and I would know that because of the FDIC sticker on every fricking window and website.

On the other hand, if I managed a large liquid asset portfolio and I considered having Wells Fargo provide banking services, I would know that my deposits would not be implicitly insured and that any substantial deposits were more like a loan to the bank, subject to their own illiquidity and insolvency. Because that's how banks work, except for the specific carve-out for small accounts. Thus, I would practice risk management suitable to my needs by vetting my bank(s) practices, diversifying my holdings, buying private insurance, or just hiring a professional who I could entrust to manage those things for me. Thankfully, because I have a large liquid asset portfolio available, I can afford to do that.

So at the end of the day, any large deposit I make with Wells Fargo is actually a risk-laden investment that I've made a calculation to play, just like that equity share that you bought on the stock market.
The changes the AI makes are perceptually noticeable though when compared to source.

No one complains about image or video compression either if the quality is good enough - because it’s not perceptually noticeable vs uncompressed; people can do A/B testing to be sure.
Firms will often handle a range of issues, for example estate, trust, and real estate law (along with other things), which would be the people with the connections you're looking for. It also helps if you have a legal problem that needs dealing with. Go in for setting up a will or a trust and ask for some help finding somebody you can trust to help you manage that stuff (CPA, accountant, bank, broker, etc).

Be prepared to leave a good impression though. Nobody wants to share connections if you make them look bad.

"Dusts all their equity on a dumb bet"??? They bought mostly agency-backed mortgage based securities! Those are high quality assets. All major banks have the same problem of sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars of unrealized losses in total [1] caused by fallen fixed income security prices. Yet you didn't have other businesses panicking and pulling their deposits.

Sorry, what do you mean we know very little about how the body works and processes food? That sounds to me like fields like medicine or physical therapy or nutrition should be impossible, and yet they exist.

And correct me if I’m wrong but it doesn’t sound like you know the scope of sports science? It’s a combination of the fields that I made an example of above plus physics, too, and many more (such as business and psychology), but oriented specifically for the purposes of sport and recreation.
As package developers we need to optimize our packages for 1.9. It's quite a task but I am excited what's ahead in Julia. Matlab(is not open-source, R is slow and not really a general purpose language, Python is great but same issue 2-lang problem...why should I implement CUDA in C++ or Numpy in C.

Running K8S is itself a giant tax. The complexity is absurd and the components are not as reliable as having a literal team of people who are responsible for ops and making a service feature complete.

> The last time I worked for a company that was invested in AWS, their AWS budget corresponded to five full-time senior developers in running costs.

This means nothing to me -- what is the TCO of the AWS deployment vs. the TCO of the non AWS deployment? How flexible are the different systems for the future? What are the reliability/uptime requirements and the marginal cost of outage? How replaceable are the dev ops engineers who are running your K8s/managed infra?

People moving to cloud isn't irrational. There's a reason that it's pervasive.

right!

Most services are probably well served by AWS/Heroku and others and simply saving the engineering time on developing the product, or optimizing when it becomes a problem

AWS can be 2x as expensive as DO for a simple VM, which you can easily work around by acquiring Reserve Instances or using "spot" instances

but, the "AWS premium" becomes a problem:
- 10x when dealing with bandwidth which you cannot do much
except a very big enterprise package and getting some discount that even then it will be multiple times higher than the alternatives

The way I see it, AWS is great but you need to consider your 1) key infra requirements
2) consider cost effectiveness of different solutions/services
3) consider alternatives i.e.

- Cloudfront is fine, but if you doing 100 tb/month probably Cloudflare would be best!
- Lambda is fine but if you doing 100M requests/month EC2/ECS would probably work better (or more cost effective)

Consider
1) what you need to get started and ship
2) what you need to scale up
3) what's the most cost effective solution long term

The requirements will change over time, be ready to adapt!
