if it's actually "reborn", we can't know, so the question is invalid.

Penrose seems to be claiming that there is falsifiable evidence that this "incarnation" is not the only one. that's totally fringe (speculative).
Yes, they make battery tenders that are specifically for this. They'll trickle charge when needed, but also not charge at all when the battery is at the right voltage.
A more optimistic interpretation of "The US Political Class is made up of Gullible people unable to do their own research because that is what the system has incentivized electing" would be that the US political class can't possibly do their own research on every topic that they have to govern and instead have to rely on external experts. Not arguing that it ends up being those with the most money being the loudest, but it makes sense that you'd want to use the research of others for your own decision making if you're not an expert and have access to experts.
DO's network performance gets... iffy under serious load. Or sometimes just has consistently-terrible throughput and/or latency to certain addresses, for unclear reasons (I have a suspicion their peering agreements and interconnects are simply awful for a lot of routes—probably as a cost-saving measure). You may not notice any of this on hobbyist or small-time commercial projects, but it's a real problem.

So that's one difference. AWS is expensive, and its performance tiers for stuff like networking can be frustratingly opaque, but when you pay enough, you do get more-or-less what you paid for. And fighting DO's networking can get expensive in a hurry, in lost business or technician hours.

As for Amplify vs. Ansible, yeah, dunno.

[EDIT] Incidentally, this isn't the first time I've seen hosting of this general sort fall apart at the networking level—I ran into very similar problems with RackSpace over a decade ago, there was simply no way to come anywhere near taxing the hardware we were paying for before the pipe got saturated, like, there was an order-of-magnitude mismatch between the two, requests timing out en masse while the hardware ("what a good bargain this price is!") was practically idle.

[EDIT EDIT] It's probably no coincidence that it's easy to list and understand hardware specs, but difficult to communicate or evaluate real-world Internet-connected network performance without trying it—so it's probably tempting as hell to scrimp on networking while selling based on bang-for-the-buck in hardware allocation.
Tigers are majestic creatures that should be preserved.

They are also efficient and dangerous ambush predators that will eat you or your children given the chance.

Reminds me of that dentist that got a tag and shot “Cecil the Lion” and the literati in NYC engaged in the requisite handwringing while the Africans who actually had to live with it were celebrating the 50 grand payday and the elimination of a dangerous menace.

Then again maybe reintroducing apex predators to the streets of San Francisco would be a net improvement. Let’s restore the grizzly to the bay area.
As an example, my 2017 Corolla runs the fuel pump for a while 5 hours after shutdown to test fuel system pressurization. I didn’t even know until I recently started parking it inside and I finally heard it running.

I agree that more people think that way than 10 years ago. However I still think it's a tiny portion of the college-age population.
In addition to what other posters have said, I think some of it is just historical.

Before we had the ability to manufacture & detect new isotopes & new elements, we really did discover them. We could go poke around, explore new conditions that we hadn't explored before, and sometimes you'd actually discover a new isotope or element.

Imagine you light something on fire, you capture the gasses and analyze them, and for the first time in human history you see sulphur. Did you manufacture the sulphur? Or discover it? Intuitively it probably feels like the sulphur was discovered but the uranium in the OP was manufactured, but really it's just a spectrum of how much work one needs to do to create the conditions that the universe requires to show you the element or isotope.

Another interesting language question (IMO) is, once you can predict the existence of elements, their behavior, etc., what do you call it when you see the physical version for the first time? Did the person who first predicted the configuration & properties discover it? Did the person who created the physical version for the first time discover it? Did anyone discover it? Does it matter how much insight was required to make the prediction?

Now that we're pretty good at predicting elements & isotopes, maybe the better way to phrase it is "discovered a process that produces xyz". Or if something unexpected happens, "discovered xyz is able to physically exist".
> I’m Bard, your creative and helpful collaborator. I have limitations and won’t always get it right, but your feedback will help me improve.

Not all of them are claiming as such, I doubt any of the big players are, see the example warning. I suspect this claim or idea comes from the pundits and hype
Pragmatically you can write your code in such a way that you can get immediate feedback in your IDE as you write the code if a static assert fails as you are implementing your function.

You could of course set up your runtime tests in a similar way, having the ide run them back to back as you are writing code, but it is more complicated, especially if the code is in an intermediate state that it is not fully compilable.

So in the end it is not a huge breakthrough, but having compile time tests is still quite a nice feature.
Their documentation is very clear about scans being expensive. Amazon isn't to blame for the poor engineering decision.
Are you talking about Africa or India or both?
The point of the article is to propose it as a fun thing to do on the side. But who solders as a hobby? I’m a millenial, and I have broken out my dad’s soldering equipment a handful of times because I wanted to try fixing something myself. (I’d hazard a guess that’s cultural more than generational, but maybe not.)

I don’t know that this article did such a good job making the case for soldering as a hobby in so much as it lays the groundwork for someone who might need to use this tool to fix something his/herself. And that should be the emphasis.

I can drive a manual car, swim, and perform CPR — supposedly the three things an adult should know, but damn it if I spend more time in my workshop hunched over molten metal. I got other things to enjoy, as I’m sure many people younger than myself do too.
If there's any mention of your/my street, it definitely isn't in the sense of owning the street or owning rights to use it. Public property belongs to the public, no one stops anyone from using the streets, the distinction is using the street and living on it. Allowing camping on the streets without any real plans for sanitation, safety etc and making moral judgements against people who don't think that's a realistic solution isn't helpful.
Homelessness is the result of multiple different problems ranging from insufficient jobs/wages, property costs, cost of living, health care, crime, addiction etc etc. Simply allowing camping on the sidewalk or converting al single family homes to 1bedroom studio apartments In an expensive neighborhood won't magically make the homelessness problem disappear.
I can come up with examples but know its ironic to try to proof treatments that are, scientifically or medically, not verified.

Theres diet, sleep, exercise. Which require no studies to know that taking better care of yourself will help you regardless of the pathology.

Then there's the somewhat strange case of orthodontist John Mew, who advocates for setting your tongue posture to the roof of your mouth in order to close the jaw properly, to prevent standard treatment of various braces, teeth alignment issues and corrective jaw surgery.

Other strange therapies that I've come across that seem unhealthy but have some backing are intentional sleep deprivation to improve depressive symptoms. prolonged fasting to reduce scar tissue. Or one I personally use alot, extremely cold showers after allergene exposure.

There are alot of silly things the human body can do that at first glance might seem irresponsible or dangerous but are about as dangerous as people in the 1900's might imagine airplanes would be.

One more thing I might add, standard care does not mean 'in your best interest' some standard practise might be too cruel to accept, like chemotherapy. Even though its proven to extend your life, it might not be proven to be in your best interest.
Wow. My German car handles being parked for 3 months just fine.
I have this problem, but it really only becomes an issue when a few days becomes a few weeks. Do that a few times and the battery will lose capacity too.
I installed a battery disconnect switch on the dashboard of my jeep. There's a spot that seems made for it. It was a $27 solution, but I don't have to pop the hood. And it solved my charge parasite problem instantly.

In most situations, a half-assed answer quickly will a beat a good answer slowly.

Most.

""Software should be reliable.""

Reliability is not usually worth the effort. Most software is not used enough, or not important enough, to make any effort worthwhile. In almost all systems, errors are created at every step and propagate through the system routinely without causing problems.
We are talking past each other: I'm saying there are lots of ways that the wealthy avoid taxes, such as borrowing against equities for expenses (https://www.wsj.com/articles/buy-borrow-die-how-rich-america...). Trump had a private jet but paid $750.00 in income tax for a couple of years. Additionally, capital gains taxes are lower than many income brackets (cf. Buffet's famous quote about being taxed more than his assistant). Finally, carried interest loophole allows private equity managers to classify services as capital gains.

Basically, if you have enough equity, a bank will loan you the money you need, while you can leave those stocks untouched. You don't have to pay any tax, let alone the extremely preferential capital gains tax.

The Whitehouse in 2021 estimated that the 400 wealthiest families paid around an 8% income tax (https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2021/09/23/...).

US has a tax gap of perhaps $1 trillion, and much of that is wealthy Americans who are too hard to pursue: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/business/irs-tax-gap.html. That could be 50% of the bill if we were able to cut healthcare expenses by dropping insurance companies, removing pharma control of prices, etc., to try to attain similar OECD healthcare costs.

The US is in a unique situation. We have to both reduce the amount of rent-seekers within the healthcare system while increasing the taxes we levy on the wealthy. Universal care might mean an increase in taxes on the middle-class, but universal care will ultimately reduce their expenses since it's more efficient.

PS. Please don't attack people personally: it's much better to say, "This comment does not account for X," than "You seem very uniformed [sic]?"

PPS. If you need a poignant example of the failure of the US healthcare system, look no further than maternal mortality rates. What a disgrace.
As an atheist, what other measure should we use?

Like when it comes down to it we are all looking for answers that "satisfy" us. What else is there? Logic is just a complex way of verifying that the answers are convincing enough and thus satisfying.

I believe Amazon folded the Cognito SDKs into the Amplify SDK. You can use the SDK for Cognito and not use Amplify, the service, at all.
They're still addicted to marketing-first design. Imagine what users before 20110 would say if you told them every PC now comes with a splash screen that doesn't do anything that you have click past to then get to the login screen.
I'm curious what was the company doing with Cognito that required anything more than DynamoDB, perhaps storing user profile information or relationships? This is the wrong approach, you use Cognito/Amplify for session management, not data relationship.

Belief? Isn't the universe everything, by definition?

This is true but I suspect people with higher IQs tend to have more education. Probably because they are "good" at learning while someone with a lower IQ struggles more and doesn't like it because of that.

That is rather hard question. If we take that anything must have come from something. We might be for example simulation, but the place running the simulation then must have come from somewhere and so on...

Maybe cyclicality or just from nothing are only real answers. Illogical as they may seem, in the end something from absolutely nothing would probably solve the problem.

> What should AWS do -> provide Postgres or similar as a database choice

If you're interested a postgres option you could check out Supabase GraphQL[1] which is based on pg_graphql [2], a native PostgreSQL extension.

You define your schema in SQL (including any indexes you'd like) and it reflects a full GraphQL API. With that stack, the example you gave about filtering for security would use be solved using a Row Level Security [3] policy where the work all occurs on the DB.

While not a part of pg_graphql, using Supabase as a backend also handles Auth [4] & Storage [5] (both OSS) which covers most of the Amplify bases

I had three different palm phones (a Palm and two Kyoceras) and a WindowsCE based MDA before I got my first modern smartphone (A Tmobile G1). I think the final nail was simple hubris. Everyone thought their established market position and share would be enough to defend. The iPhone wasn't viewed as a PDA by most incumbents... it was a weird iPod phone targeting consumers. Android was starting at zero, and I think there was a lot of belief that Palm, RIM and Microsoft would have something way better once their touch screen options came out. A lot of that belief was fueled by the importance of enterprise groupware to corporate buyers at the time. I remember having developer reps from Palm and MS try to talk us (I owned a small dev shop at the time) out of looking at Android and iOS because the next version was going to kill them both.

It turned out easier to use, cloud services (Google apps, iCloud), maps+GPS (G1 had it, iPhone had it soon after), and much better media player features were simply more desirable than enterprise groupware. It also turned out that as cell phone usage normalized, a lot of employers stopped providing cell phones to employees... mostly driven by unlimited talk+text+internet plans... which really favored the non-enterprise-y Androids and iPhones.
Math proofs are also 'discovered'.

Another interesting thing to think about is cosmic rays are far stronger than anything we can create in a particle accelerator, but the current flow in an accelerator is a zillion times the intensity of cosmic rays, so thats why we build particle accelerators to "discover" things that already exist in cosmic rays.

Technically there are some atoms of this "stuff" in a lump of uranium ore, well, a big enough one, anyway, but it would take much fancier instruments to detect and manipulate it, its easier to make lots in close proximity to a detector.
The articles are based on peer reviewed studies.

The problem with the post is that Bengal Tiger != Indian Tigers. Bengal Tigers are a subspecies of tigers and not many of them are even in India.

The issues faced by Indian tigers was loss of habitat due to human encroachment (which will be worsened due to human migration due to climate change), whereas the major future threat to Bengal tigers, which live primarily in the low lying Sunderban areas of Bangladesh, is climate change.

So both things are true because we are talking about completely different groups of animals.

Just wanted to commend you for sharing your experience. It's not something that's popular on HN and, as expected, was immediately followed with "you probably have a brain tumor for doing it" comments. So wanted to counter-balance that and let you know that not everyone is as hostile and mean-spirited.
Wait, what? Private keys were stored in unprotected plaintext files regularly opened by multiple people at the company? WTF?

That crosses the line and goes deep into "willful negligence" territory, in my view.

The physical equivalent would be stacking customer assets like dollar bills and gold bars in big piles inside a heavily trafficked room that has no lock.

The term "irresponsible" doesn't quite do justice to it.

Unbelievable.
> It's just odd to me that I had to make this change in the first place. I wonder how many millions of dollars AWS is raking in just because devs are unaware of things like that.

AWS documentation very clearly outlines the behavior of a query and a scan. The internet is full of guides [1][2] on how to model your data so you utilize queries vs. scans.

If the developers at your company misuse a product, and aren't aware of these features when does personal responsibility come in? How is AWS as a platform suppose to discern that the trade-off with a GSI is what you want, and how is this scenario not generalized to every product? People misuse SQL databases all the time, for example.

The title of the label is a different discussion in which I agree with your last sentence.
I think religion is great for a large majority of people that don't want to put in the painful existential work necessary to arrive at some more profound understanding of life. It feels like a shortcut, and you can certainly find your own spiritual beliefs without the aid of the Catholic Church.
This is a pretty good write up on the actual implementation problems of the solution vs. just a rant. The company I'm at now built their own custom graph database years ago and is plagued by problems that would be cousins of some of those listed here, so I see the pain the author is dealing with because I'm hearing about similar problems from some team or customer support at least 1x/month.
Do pseudorandom distributions have chopped tails? Wouldn't that go against the definition of pseudorandom?
The equivalent in a relational database would be writing a query without a where statement, and then implementing the where in application code. AWS has a lot of unimpressive bits, but DynamoDB is not one of them, you just have to know how to use it properly (like any database!), and design your schema for the database (which isn't always easy). In general, using scan means you aren't using Dynamo correctly.

Caveat: I used to work at Amazon (not in AWS), but don't anymore.
My issue with poolers has always been routing. This solution works in a vanilla cluster but not in a multi-node one.

Can Supavisor route Reads across multiple nodes and Writes to just the Primary like pgpool does? If so, how, is it documented, share a link?

Thanks in advance.
> The pie is not fixed.

Nor is it infinite.

It is true it can grow and shrink.

It is not true that the growing and shrinking are always non-zero sum.

It is also not true that the growing can go on forever unbounded.

It is also not true that the growing should be the most important priority.

It is also not true that the benefits of the growing or the deficits of shrinking are always distributed equally.

Protecting the vulnerable from the above is one of the core responsibilities of the state and is the exact purpose of progressive taxation.
You can drive a car from the 90s before they started shipping alarms and keyfobs in every vehicle. My 1995 Miata draws just enough power to maintain the clock in the radio, and it starts just fine after sitting for 6 months (it's not a winter car).

I can't answer that concretely, but there is an active secondary market for corporate loans, so I have always understood divestment to mean selling the loans to third parties (eg, credit funds and CLOs), as you mention.
