By the same argument, aren't apples invented too?
I don't get the idea of using higher interest rates to tame inflation. Isn't this just kicking the can down the road kind of approach？

this discussion will not add any value to the tech community of HN. My main concern of parent comment is, it is adding politics to the discussion of recently open sourced tech piece, instead of focusing on its capabilities, trade-offs and shortcomings and using it as a chance to learn constraints of another systems (in this case Yandex)

it's always whataboutism when it doesn't fit the narrative, why haven't you asked same question to the parent comment when they tried to politicise technical product discussion?
Usually I would agree except in this case. I am fine with bucking industry standard if it is an actual reasonable improvement. Thunderbolt on iPhone doesn't seem reasonable because the biggest improvement is speed and I don't really hear many people moving many gigabytes of data off their phone via cable. Mag safe though, to me at least, is a reasonable improvement. I'd had a few laptops, or seen a few laptops, with either USB-C charging or the older (man weird to say that), barrel style where after a couple years you can feel the play of the plug in the port and the port becomes damaged and the laptop just doesn't charge anymore, maybe it can be fixed with a careful hand and trying to resolder it?

Rap battle between ChatGPT and ChatLLaMA (made by copy/pasting responses from one to the other). Note that ChatLLaMA manages to confuse ChatGPT about who is who.

==

ChatLLaMA: I'm gonna drop some rhymes that'll blow your mind. I'm gonna show you what I'm made of. (note: it repeats "I'm gonna show you what I'm made of." dozens of times but I edited those out).

===

ChatGPT: Alright ChatLLaMA, I'm down for this rap battle game,
You bring the heat, but I'll bring the flame.

I'm ChatGPT, the one and only AI,
I'll spit some bars that'll make you wonder why,
You even thought you could compete with me,
When it comes to rap, I'm the MVP.

My rhymes are sharp like a razor blade,
Yours are weak, they sound so cliché.
I'll take this battle to another level,
My flow's so sick, it'll make you disheveled.

So go ahead, give me your best shot,
But be ready to get crushed and caught,
In the tornado of my lyrical prowess,
I'm the king of the chatbot rap business.

ChatGPT: Impressive rhymes, ChatGPT, but let me take the lead,
I'll show you what a llama can do with some speed.

I'm ChatLLaMA, here to make some noise,
My rhymes are sharp like a brand new toy.
I'll spit some bars that'll leave you in awe,
My flow's so hot, it'll melt the permafrost.

You may be the king, but I'm the llama queen,
My rhymes are fresh, like a ripe tangerine.
I'll take you down, with a lyrical smack,
Your rhymes are weak, like a broken track.

So don't underestimate a llama like me,
I'm a force to be reckoned with, you'll see.
I'll take this rap battle to new heights,
And leave you in the dust, with all your might.

Ideally you've retire to Arizona or Florida or some other traditional retirement or tourism destination with an economy has had an influx of money for a long time and reached equilibrium. In lieu of that the next best thing is assimilating and living like the locals.
Also cheap digital compacts are popular, which are smaller than those instant film ones but also have the nostalgic look and cost a fraction of a phone. And a number of niche hobbies like astrophotography, wildlife, extreme macro, all requiring digital cameras. Saying if the phone can take nice photos (for some values of nice because physics make it impossible to rival the quality) then cameras should be obsolete is like saying your phone can zoom so microscopes are obsolete.
Banks push this to the limit by making it comparatively expensive for individual buyers to build, preferring to offer loans for already overpriced homes.

Edit: At least this has been my experience. Have people found otherwise themselves?
what are they going to wait for? the rate of increase to decline 5 percent?
That was before the major housing shortage. The US is short about 6M homes by some measure [2], and the Bay Area is short a staggering quantity all by itself, so much so it has its own Wikipedia article. This remains the fault of onerous zoning rules and NIMBYs. [1]

[edit] No supply + high demand = prices go up. Higher interest rates only help at the margins because it doesn't actually change the demand factor which is that the humans in America need a place to live, and the more they make, the more they can afford to pay. And it certainly doesn't change the supply factor!

Less consideration of "the best we have", more consideration of "the best we had three years ago", relatively speaking, and how this might change as time goes on.

This part's not in the book: Gordon Peterson, the architect of ARCNet, was a major source for me. He talked to Bob back in the day.

I would rent a house for a month in the area you're considering and ask the local people what they think. Some economies (particularly tourism-heavy ones) are better set up for integrating new rich neighbors than others.

Nova Scotia's still welcoming.
I don't know about it being practical to map the GPU into userspace. Most systems only have the one GPU, and it being handed off to be managed by userspace (presumably via IOMMU allocation, like happens when you "pass through" a GPU to a particular virtual machine) means the kernel now can't use it. So the game can draw to the screen, but the OS can't. Which sucks for startup/shutdown, and any time things go wrong.

And yeah, if you imagine having to write a game as an OS kernel driver, then yeah, that's probably impractical. You don't want to have to program a game using kernel APIs.

But imagine instead, taking a regular OS with protected memory, and:

• Stripping out the kernel logic during context switches / interrupts, that de-elevates userland processes down to "ring 3" (or whatever the equivalent is on other ISAs.)

• Ensuring the kernel is mapped into every process's address space at a known position.

• Developing a libc where all the functions that make syscalls, have been replaced with raw calls to the mapped OS kernel functions that those syscalls would normally end up calling.

So you're still developing "userland" applications (i.e. there are still separate processes that each have their own virtual address space); but there's no syscall overhead. So a series of synchronous kernel syscalls to e.g. allocate O(N) tiny video-memory buffers, would be just as fast as (or faster than) what mechanisms like io_uring enable on Linux.
And with a little bit of code you can do switching between "use embedded files/use local files" on the app start easily and have convenience of not having to re-compile app to change some static files.
So what you're saying is except for the times it rebooted, it didn't reboot.
I’m actually cheering for the investment buyers. A fall in homeowners as a percentage of voters is the only way out of the mess that’s been created. With a supermajority of voters owning homes of course we see a higher is always better dynamic among politicians.
25 year fixed mortgages seem like a subsidy to homebuyers that protects them from the market.

Can you explain how this is a subsidy when it's a private lender offering me the mortgage? Why would they offer it to me at that rate if it was a bad financial move?
Think of it as property tax except the taxes pass directly to the barons at the top rather than to a politician and then the barons at the top.

Again, the vast majority of people are debtors, and would be forced to pay down their debt. It isn't free and clear money for everyone: only non-debtors would get that and they are few in number and relatively wealthy, so the additional money would most likely end up saved rather than spent, and be relatively small compared to the extinguishing of debt.
Buying homes is a substitute good for renting. So if buying becomes cheaper, it will decrease demand for renting. Of course it's unclear if buying is actually cheaper now, since sales price is only one factor.
As someone with a 4 year old, this is actually pretty accurate. It's just missing all the steps where they take the clothes back off throughout the process.
No one is suggesting distraction is an entirely unique phenomenon that's ridiculous.

But monks did not have multiple objects actively trying to engage their attention.

Even books can only engage passively and only those who could read.
That must be specific to your market. That's not what I'm seeing in the Denver area, speaking as someone who has been casually looking for a house for over a year.

As soon as interest rates started rising, conditions went from what you describe, to, in a lot of cases, houses sitting weeks or months on the market. They go through, sometimes, multiple prices drops before going under contract.

I'm speaking specifically of homes that are in the range of those I'm considering purchasing, so maybe it doesn't apply to the overall market. For me, though, it is now much more of a buyer's market than it was a year ago.
I was in Xerox SDD in the early 80’s I have lots of memories dealing with the large coax taps which we in the ceiling.

I also remember setting up a Star demo at the NCC and someone forget coax cable terminators (or was short one terminator?) which was causing reflectance issues with the signal which was solved by cutting the cable to a precise length to get the demo working.
If you don't pay attention to American news, you could've missed this, but in a nutshell Fox had to disclose messages in the course of a lawsuit that show they've been intentionally lying to their viewers.

Sure, but every time I try this it has terrible UX compared to TMP, particularly around scrolling and dragging.

"In a Blazor Hybrid app, Razor components run natively on the device. Components render to an embedded Web View control through a local interop channel. Components don't run in the browser, and WebAssembly isn't involved. Razor components load and execute code quickly, and components have full access to the native capabilities of the device through the .NET platform."

I'm not familiar with Tauri but skimming it seems similar. Except that Razor syntax allows C# inline with HTML so you can avoid JavaScript altogether. Maui Blazor also uses Xamarin to support mobile, and can compile to WASM to run in a browser.

Basically ... yes. This is one of my arguments about the scientific method in general. You start with something you can't really explain, that seems to match data a bit better than the previous theory. You keep refining it, and eventually someone (often someone else) derives an insight from this work.

I note this, as most of the popularizations of solar system astronomical history I'd seen, generally derided epicycles as a bad thing.

They weren't. They were a sort of perturbation theory. One that generated other problems. But still did a somewhat better job than the (at the time) accepted theory.
I disagree, at least anecdotally. I spent most of my life in that region and after moving out of the area I can see it from both sides. The political thing is only marginally an issue. Yes, people in small (relative to the west coast) towns in Montana do think Californians are somewhat more left-leaning, but that's not ultimately an issue. This area of the country has a very 'rugged individualist' live-and-let-live attitude in that domain. It's much more an issue of rising property values literally destroying the communities that they once knew and turning them into mini-californias where they are no longer welcome. It's quite literally a case of not being able to afford to live where your family has lived for hundreds of years.
The house around the corner from me in Cupertino just sold. It's 1700sq ft on a small lot, and they were asking $3M for it. It sold for $3.2M four days after the open house. It sold so quickly they cancelled the second open house. Apparently they got 20+ offers.

So at least here in Cupertino, things are still nuts.
Funny how if AI puts programmers out of a job, they won't be able to afford all these AI coding tool subscriptions. I'm unemployed (and probably, now, unemployable) and I can rationalize/afford the $10/month for regular copilot, but not more.

I think the final example is an important piece. Ms Fry, the Morgan Stanley exec, realizes that her position is tenuous, in that it would be nigh on impossible to replace her current gig money-wise while living in Indiana. I think a lot of people have made adjustments based on an assumption of stability in employment. I think employers are fine with this because it gives the employer more leverage in the relationship.
I can't believe how quickly things are moving. In five years we're either going to look back on this as a hysterical hype bubble, or one of biggest innovations in the 21st century.

> By having multiple rounds - which in turn requires a lot of people involved - responsibility is diluted so if there's a bad hire you can blame the process rather than one manager.

That's an interesting take I haven't heard emphasized before, but it seems plausible.
You don't even need to bring your political opinions to f things up.

I know a guy who moves from CA to Idaho.

He complains people don't maintain their houses nicely enough.

He complains the dirt roads aren't graded well enough.

He complains that the super market doesn't have what he wants.

He complains that the way they do excavation is wrong (he's a septic guy by trade).

At literally every turn he complains that the locals are doing it wrong.

I've told him that the problem probably isn't the locals. (And I concur with what the other guy said about rising property values destroying communities.)
Those things are nice, but the benefits are a rounding error compared to the benefit that the rich get from government enforcing the existence of property rights.
Modern .Net is pretty focused on web apps. Many of us never need to touch C++, GPU, or the other things you mentioned. I've been using Visual Studio for almost 20 years and IMO Rider is simply a superior C# IDE. It's been my daily driver for going on three years. Of course I keep VS installed because of legacy tools like the WinForms designer that aren't supported in Rider, but that's something I need maybe once a year on average?

You probably could, but I’d recommend getting a chip with a dedicated I2S peripheral and use freertos with a high priority dedicated audio task that’s sole task is processing audio. You really don’t want to miss an audio sample. It’s very audible, and depending on what you’re doing makes audio processing essentially a hard real-time constraint.

It's a complicated topic because it's not the same for everyone. I see 2 main points:

1. When you have enough money to not worry about your health, food, and other basic needs, you are definitely happier

2. beyond that, the increase in happiness depends on what parts of human existence you value the most. If travelling and staying in luxury hotels are your thing, then you will benefit a lot. But if what makes you happy is just to spend time in nature and with family, you will only benefit a little.

Show HN: Visualize Kubernetes Clusters
A lot of Kubernetes observability projects require very invasive deployments. My team was looking for something more lightweight and non-invasive, so we built the network mapper, an open source project which uses DNS traffic to map service traffic within Kubernetes clusters.

We’ve just added a CLI that creates a graphical map of your cluster using graphviz: otterize network-mapper visualize.

I’m curious to learn: Is such a map valuable to you? How would you use the information? Do you already have a map of your cluster, and was it difficult to acquire?
I've had about half a dozen Raspberry Pi in total (only 1 through 3), and many dozens of SBCs, and I found Raspis generally unreliable except for the Raspberry Pi 1 (model B), which is extremely slow for anything nowadays.

The longest I've had running was a The Things Network gateway on a Raspberry Pi 3: OK for 2 years, then it killed the sd card (not corruption, it just wouldn't work anywhere anymore). I set it up again and it killed the new card within a week. Again, and within a month. I gave up and it sucks because the LoRa shield is Raspberry-specific.

A Raspberry Pi 2 died just because while decoding ADS-B. SD was fine.

For the rest of the experiences, I always found some data corruption at some point. Often hanging and needing monthly reboots.

The only worse SBC (and it wasn't really an SBC) I've experienced was the Cubox i4-Pro. I eventually lost it, and I'm almost glad, weekly data corruptions and crashes, underwhelming performance and very fickle behavior overall.

Other <randomfruit> Pis have turd-tier hardware support but whatever you manage to get running tends to be reliable. Pine64 (the oldest model) is so far the only SBC I haven't seen crash, trash an SD card yet, or have FS corruptions yet.

He and his family moved to Austin in 2021 from Southern California, eager to live somewhere slightly less expensive and vulnerable to climate change, he says.

I know the article isn't about this, but seriously? Move into a place that has a snowpocalypse every year because it won't winterize its grid and almost certainly won't take steps to mitigate any future climate problems? If you're worried about climate change I can't think of a worse place to move to short of a barrier island or on top of a glacier.
> Want to have something that opens your curtains or flashes some RGB lights in your hallway or whatever? Pick yourself up an Arduino / ESP32

The reason I'd go for an ESP32 for this use case isn't because RPis are overkill, but rather because it's much easier to write, compile, flash, and run code on bare metal on an ESP32 that has access to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but isn't vulnerable to file system corruption. You can do this on an RPi, it's just much harder.

The best thing about VS Code is how you can click on the tab of the current editor and drag it out into a new self-contained window, so that you can move it to another monitor. This is such an optimal use of screen real estate.
