Arkenfox is great, although worth noting that there are always privacy vs. security vs. usability tradeoffs. The best usability settings (in terms of sites just working at least) are generally the Firefox default and Arkenfox defaults aims for privacy mostly but they also have some of the best descriptions of available configuration available anywhere (often the only other source of any kind of information is a brief comment in the source code that assumes familiarity with Firefox code). Personally, I aim for the best security and accept that that makes me unique.

`apt install chromium-browser` installs Chromium as a snap package. If you don't have snapd installed, it'll "helpfully" install it for you.

It's become a binary choice between snap and flatpak, with flatpak being preferred by all major Ubuntu forks (Pop OS, elementary OS, Linux Mint). I won't be shocked if years from now Ubuntu decides snap is no longer worth it, like they did with Mir and Unity.
If anyone has done the job of getting Americans interested in space, it has to be SpaceX. They have a huge following of young nerds who are getting into aerospace engineering because they do such a good job publicizing their development efforts.

SLS is so embarrassingly outdated when compared to SpaceX, it has done the opposite for me, it just made me realize how antiquated and bloated government projects are. Maybe it's more a reflection on how poorly the contracts were managed, idk. But comparing SpaceX vs SLS launches, SLS is a marvelous failure by every metric.

you might be fooled by the meaning of the word „distribution“ in the kubernetes vs. linux context.

in the linux context, a distribution would be an opinionated build of user-land tools around the linux kernel which might also bring patches done to the kernel by the distributor.

in the (cloud) kubernetes context, a distribution would be an opinionated (cloud) implementation of core kubernetes binaries (EKS/AKS/etc.pp.) on top of a linux-distribution of your liking.

to my humble understanding k3s is a stripped down and optimized (IMHO opinionated) build of kubernetes binaries derived from the official source.

kubeadm is the official projects (opinionated?) idea of arriving at a vanilla cluster, leaving you with the freedom to make choices for lots of the needed components involved.

in the linux context, „linux from scratch“ would be an analogy I suppose.

more knowledgeable people should please correct me if I‘m wrong in my understanding here.
If you are only interested in disasters, I suppose, but even then: knowing that there's going to be a sports-related "riot" in local bars and venue-adjacent streets can be pretty critical information that is useful when it is timely. There are definitely cities where you need to know every time there is a local game and roughly what the mood of the crowd is, because crowd physics and mob mentalities. There are "sports-related disasters" in the weather of those cities.

> I fly an SR22, which has a yaw damper. It's not strictly necessary

The SR22 is a straight wing aircraft, not a swept wing one. "Some aircraft, such as the Boeing 727 and Vickers VC10 airliners, are fitted with multiple yaw damper systems due to their operation having been deemed critical to flight safety.[1][4]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_damper

There have been crashes due to failure of the yaw damper and the pilot being unable to control the resulting instability.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll#Accidents

> I'm sure the families of the victims will take great comfort knowing that their loved ones died efficiently.

We should get rid of jet airliners entirely. The whole point of jetliners was to reduce operating costs. People have died because of many flaws in jetliners. Should have just stuck to the DC-3.
Yes?

The original LLaMA-65B on fp16 weight is 130G. There are no NVIDIA GPU with 130G memory.

Trying to remember the specifics of the training we got when I was in the US Air Force on the rules concerning nukes. This is the gist of it:

Above all: Don't lie.

The default is "neither confirm nor deny". For example: somebody asks if there were nukes on the plane that just crashed? Can't say. Even if you know there weren't, you can neither confirm nor deny.

You MAY deny if it would benefit safety. For example: someone started a rumor there was a nuke on a plane that crashed nearby and panic/riots are starting. An official statement saying there was no nuclear material involved could help settle things down.

You MUST confirm if there is a safety concern. For example: There really was a nuke on the plane that just crashed nearby and people need to evacuate ASAP. Get that confirmation out now and get people away from the situation.

In other words, when it comes to nuclear things with the US military, "no official confirmation" means exactly nothing, other than there is/was no public safety concern.

I'm a developer who works in the energy efficiency industry; primarily at small companies, and primarily developing the advanced algorithms for control of devices such as batteries, HVACs, EV chargers, and similar things. I have mostly worked behind the meter to reduce energy use and peak loads plus working with data and external signals, such as demand response signals and weather, to optimise the schedule for those devices for the day. I integrate software with hardware, work on backend APIs, and dabble in simple front-ends for developer tools as well. I can do all the work that needs doing, except for front-ends that need to look nice for customers.

I'm interested in working on small teams to get things done with a good work-life balance and with good development practices such as documentation, 1-on-1 code reviews, testing, CI/CD, and etc. I want to work in a language/framework that is compiled and statically typed, such as Go or the like, and with an architectural design that eschews complexity for simplicity.

I attended some lessons on Thibault's Destreza [0] and it was fascinating. Thibault seems to be one of the more approachable Destreza systems.

Most of texts on Destreza are near unreadable. This had lead to a theory that some Destreza texts are cover texts for occult practices or alchemical recipes. Such claims were remarked on both during the time the texts were published and in the present day.

Seems like that's a failure to set and enforce expectations.
This is more of a philosophical musing, but your comment did make me think-- is it also a reflection of the shallowness of a lot of contemporary social events and rituals? People used to get together, do a barn raising, work together, have debutante balls, welcome boys into manhood, have community spiritual occasions and rituals, and so on. A lot of modern social events are lacking in the meaning, anticipation, and social depth as before-- some people who crave it most still go out, but maybe it just isn't meaningful enough to pull in those whose personality doesn't lean towards social butterfly-ness.
Even there the success metrics vary widely between customers. I hire a fitness trainer to increase functional strength and prevent sports injuries, not to lose weight. The whole area is so subjective that there can't be any common agreement on key metrics.

Cloudflare Workers KV | Senior software engineer | Remote US | Remote UK | Remote Portugal

Cloudflare in general provides website security and a CDN with locations all over the world.

Cloudlare Workers and related technologies (R2, KV, DO, D1) are part of the Emerging Technology and Incubation group (ETI) which focuses on edge developer technologies.

These roles specifically are for Workers KV where we are building one of the world’s fastest programmable caches at a very large scale - we’re currently in the middle of work to provide a ~10-100x latency reduction and a 60x reduction in write consistency (reading values globally within seconds of a write). Bring your distributed systems experience but also welcoming smart people capable of picking it up.

Your role will be in speccing out new features and performance improvements, engaging with the Discord community, collaborating with the runtime team, expanding the team more, and working with the EM and PM to set overall technical and product direction for the team once I transition my responsibilities to you after you are ramped up.

There’s also plenty of other roles within ETI and the rest of the company (I just happen to work on Workers KV currently). The team, org and company culture overall I find to be fantastic.

Mentra | Full Stack Engineer (Node/TypeScript/Next.js/React) | Charlotte, NC, USA | Hybrid (In-Person, ONSITE) | $100k-$140k, competitive equity and benefits

Mentra is building a neuroinclusive job network. 1 in 7 people worldwide are neurodivergent - people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, epilepsy, and other things that describe how people think and experience the world differently. However, 80% of these people are either unemployed or underemployed. We're building a platform that reimagines how talent get connected with employers, starting with looking at what matters. What factors will contribute to a candidate's success in a role? What do they need to be supported during the interview and post-hire process? How neuroinclusive is an employer in supporting the professional and skills-based development of their employees? Mentra considers all these factors in matching jobseekers with gainful employment.

https://mentra.me

We raised our pre-seed round from Sam Altman (OpenAI/YC), Scott Belsky (Adobe), and recently raised our seed round from leading VC firms in the US.

Mentra is seeking a Full Stack Engineer to support our rapid growth and trajectory in several business-critical areas. This is a unique opportunity join an early-stage startup as one of the first members of our engineering team. We're looking for a strong technical leader to work collaboratively with leadership & product teams and independently to drive value for our jobseekers, employers, and advocate partners.

Our tech stack includes TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Azure Cloud. This role would report directly into the Chief Technology Officer, with a wide amount of latitude and ownership on our overall product strategy, design, and development.

I actually did to rewrite parts of django's auth, caching in go in order to be compatible with a grpc-based mobile app. The django source code is well documented and easy enough to understand, so it wasn't a probablem signing sessions, creating users etc in go and then using them in django.

For django itself, once I slapped a database caching layer on top and tuned gunicorn/uvicorn, there were no performance issues. Go is faster, but django is fast enough.

Yes the long S [1]. Not used at the end of a word. It's the origin of the German ẞ, which is visually a long S with a short s after. Increasingly often just written as ss, with some German dialects officially doing away with ß. Words like "possess" in English used to be written pretty much (visually) like poßeß or poſſeſs.

> It would only break if your old dev env can no longer be built, for example if it depended on some external resource which is no longer available on the internet.

That's what I was getting at. Version controlling a config doesn't make a build deterministic when it depends on transient resources that aren't in version control.

There's nothing repeatable about a container style build. They can change between runs that are 5 seconds apart. I see a lot of Docker builds where the author claims they're repeatable because they're version controlled and then they start with 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'.

At least you don't claim yours repeatable, but I'd much rather build my dev environment on the first Monday of every month, check it in to an artifact repository, and use that for a full month. The re-build would be similar to (using Docker as an example):

FROM mygroup/myproject:2023.04
RUN git checkout ...

That way when I go back to a commit that's a year old I re-use the exact environment that was in use at the time, If I want an updated dev environment I create a branch and update the version of the dev environment.

From the perspective of being the developer, I'd rather specify a release cadence and have the matching dev environment used. Ex: monthly, weekly, daily, ci. IMO container like systems that are used as part of the dev / build chain should be promoted and reused, not comitted and rebuilt. The only person using a CI based build environment should be the person responsible for maintaining it. Everyone else should be on a slower cadence.

It's seems so weird to me to come to HN and see people livid about Windows auto-updates and then having no problem with their dev and build tools (potentially) change 50 times a day.

To put it another way, would you auto-update VS Code, your runtime, and your dependencies every time you commit to Git? If not, why build the auto-magical dev environment so it works like that? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what it does. Admittedly, I didn't try it out yet.

> It's crazy how dependent a community can become on a piece of software and at the same time no one takes measures on preservation or open sourcing that software.

It's almost always because it's a labor of love and isn't worth the money.

Richard Douglass created Ballroom Dancing competition judging software because, as a competitor, he was wasting vast amounts of time with crappy judging and software (especially because a lot of software wouldn't deal well with garbage network connections).
https://www.douglassassociates.com/

It has roughly 300 uses per year. It charges roughly $1000 per use. That's about $300K per year for taking the support calls, managing the credit card bridge, and updating any features due to the OS makers breaking shit.

They have a plan to release the code when he passes. However, that probably isn't enough. It's likely nobody has the programming AND ballroom dance competition experience necessary to keep it going.
I'm just pointing out, in my anecdotal experience, that the smartest people I know don't have interest in AI because of the way AI clashes with the things they find the most intellectual stimulation from. None of what you said really addresses any of that, and I really have no interest in debating the subjectivity of AI art on the internet, as there's nothing about it that hasn't already been said.
