The difference is that it is not a "standardized" OS interface. Rather it's a complex layer on top of operating systems offering dumbed down and less performant versions of what is available all of which is interfaced by a dynamic and not so performant language.

If it was something like a modern POSIX I don't think you'd have much complaining. But it's a lot heavier than that.
Other “open source” companies are always focused on modern startup stuff. Too much fake it till you make it.

They have a unique value proposition in that they are an OS, so they are everywhere by default. It makes sense to have a .gov, banking, healthcare, etc teams who grok whatever the issues are in those verticals.
I think its more boilerplate than anything else.
Definitely varies by community. Elixir had the fastest responses in my experience. Often I would get a response within a day or two. F# and Haskell were quite a bit slower, on the order of multiple weeks.

A very relatable example for people here are gamers and professionals who shout they want AMD Radeon to become competitive to Nvidia GeForce, and then go right out and buy Nvidia GeForces once the products come out. We don't even need to talk about Intel ARC.

Capitalism is a system of voting with wallets, so voting with speech has no bearing on what results come out of capitalism as you say.

They certainly could. The CPUs are fast enough, they've plenty of memory. They could have a programming mode you could flip into and displace all the other kludges.

They could have a USB port that takes a keyboard, because typing with your thumbs is simian. They could have a video-output port, because the screen is too damn small. They could have an easy-to-use filesystem ... but they don't.

So they're unsuited to purpose, on purpose I'm sure. They're not trying to get to thinkers. If I wanted to program away from a desktop, it'd be something on Linux, something tablet-sized, a USB port for a roll-up keyboard, an analog audio-jack. Maybe with a RasPi. No phone, radio, bluetooth, GPS or spyware, no fat cluster of worthless junkware. I can wait. Until then, a laptop. And if the code can't run on a phone, oh well. They had their chance.
FWIW, in the US an airport doesn't actually have to use the TSA: the government can't actually quite mandate a single vendor like that here; there thereby exist private companies that operate to the TSA specification, and an airport can go with one of them instead. The airport in San Francisco (SFO) is the only one I have ever seen do this, using a vendor named CAS... and while the experience is mandated to suck a lot, it still sucks a lot less than the TSA as the CAS employees seem to get that they are just security technicians, not officers of the state (a distinction the TSA people don't understand, but also applies to them: the police at the airport, for example, have lots of jurisdiction over them, as far as I understand).
When you run enterprise product X on Red Hat version Y, that vendor will do less fingerpointing. They may even work with Red Hat in the backend to deal with bugs, etc.

If you go put that on Debian or whatever, they’ll make you reproduce on RHEL.

This becomes a big deal when you have RHEL, VMWare, and other vendors in the mix. If you ignore the certification, the app vendor or VMWare will just shrug at you.
It's all just data, isn't it?

Route it all through VoIP and record it there?

Maybe theres some bank-compliance phone vendor that operates its own MVNO and does the recording for you?

all of those "disruptors" just makes me cringe every time i hear it now. there have been so many bad actors. paypal still seizing accounts because some automated thing made a decision that can't be shared as to why. seems like Stripe as been in the news for similar topics. then you get the ones like Uber just flagrantly doing shady things to get that disruption.

now, when i hear someone say disrupt, i immediately assume they are cutting corners on whatever regulation that is needed to gain a leg up over the incumbent companies following the regulations.

Huh, I'm skeptical, but if a low-fat ice cream substitute really can be just as creamy as real ice cream then I guess I'm OK with people liking it. I'd love to try it one day, but I have such a good ice cream machine already and no need for a creami that I'll have to wait until someone I know gets one.

I'm a tech nerd and wouldn't know WTF that means because USB is universally meaningless.

Some people are scared of fat (or the associated calories). From the blogs/ads about the creami, it seems that's the main reason people have.
They are.

Your average tradie would rather just do a cash in hand extra job vs spending that time researching and waiting for some clone tools from China.

It generalizes easily. The main difference is the construction of the Laplacian matrix, which won't be symmetric in a directed graph, but you can still do spectral analysis and standard matrix derivatives, diagonalization, factorizations, etc.
Post translation modifications are another layer.

Also, since you asked, I would like to mention protein interactions with cellular components and tissues. These can be argued as just proteins interacting with each other but the extreme complexity of these higher levels and the unique phenotypes arising from them make me think they are deserved to be treated as another layer of "data decompression".
> due to `pip install --extra-index-url` apparently ignoring the user-specified registry if the package exists on PyPI

I thought this was the expected behavior of --extra-index-url

To force pip to use a user-specified registry, you would use --index-url instead of --extra-index-url

> How did Germany evolve to be so anti-nuclear? Given the alternatives nuclear seems the way to go.

Nuclear power is currently by far the most expensive way to generate electricity. And this despite the fact that the insurance sum for the power plants is capped and the remaining risk is assumed by the state and the money that was invested for final waste storage will predictably not be sufficient either. Our early attempts for final storage since the 60s have failed and since 2013 we have been planning how to recover hundreds of thousands of barrels from a salt mine from which radioactively contaminated brine is leaking. And we have yet to find a suitable repository where long-term safety can be guaranteed.
I kept thinking that Red Hat's Linux offerings are properly FOSS, and the stuff you buy is support contracts.

What are some per-CPU offers from them? (Because that's what I'd expect from Oracle, and hardly from RH.)
That’s fair, but is super opinionated and probably off putting to a lot of people (myself included). Hence the “yikes”.

Your last point seems irrelevant. This is about where the extension belongs - no one is making an app in this discussion and I would argue that a Chrome extension is much closer to an app than a Jupyter/IPython extension.

What made them strange, other than the fact you didn't know who they were?
Yes, data scrubbing (read only) is still a good idea for SSDs. If data in a marginal memory cell is starting to degrade, reading that data will cause the SSD to notice a correctable error and write a fresh copy of the data. Simply leaving the drive on the shelf would put you at more risk of degradation leading to an error that the drive was not able to correct (though a RAID layer above the individual drives may still be able to recover the data).

Many drives will do some amount of background reading on their own to scan for degraded data. But this isn't visible to the host system and not guaranteed, so it shouldn't be relied upon and doing some extra reads (eg. once a month) is harmless.

I strongly believe QLC SSDs are a great choice for NAS usage, unless it's very frequently modified data. It's still more expensive than hard drives, but the noise, power and performance benefits can be worth it.
1% of all humans below 70 is still tens of millions of affected.
So they're a pure consultancy firm, competing with those infatuated by the write-once-sell-many economics of software.
In a similar vein, the company is not a slave owner. People can vote to unionize against malpractices and force the hand of the law. It's all fair.
It's not really fair to ask someone to leverage themselves to display their conviction.
Not sure if it matters, but all chats at Google default to history off (deleted after 24hrs). Turning on history only keeps messages for 30days and you have to do this for every single group chat, private chat, etc. There is no archive or long held messages like Slack.
Where are you getting this from? Is this from the complaint? Or a personal anecdote?

I worked there in 2006. The SVP of Eng was Alan Eustace. He's a jolly guy, he chuckles a lot. I don't remember this specific exchange but I can hear his chuckle in my head. Knowing him, the chuckle would almost certainly be laughing at what an obviously terrible idea it would be to delete the emails. Alan Eustace certainly would not have instructed people, explicitly nor implicitly, to delete messages subject to legal hold.
> Yeah, Airport security is not useless

An airplane flight is practically a high-tech bus trip. Airport security probably is useless, otherwise there'd be an analogue for public transport. And as people regularly point out, the cost-benefit of airport security is probably net-negative. I bet almost nobody would choose a high-security airport over a low security airport if they had a choice.
I like typing that with strings like '(batch,r,a,s,channel,t)'. The tooling doesn't do anything special with it, but it makes the code understandable at a glance. Adopting libraries like einops and core routines like einsum in lieu of equivalent alternatives encourages the propagation of names (rather than rolling axes or whatever) anywhere it matters. Having a coding convention about the standard order of axes helps a bit as people get more familiar with that aspect of the codebase too, only deviating where necessary.
> systems without IME exist

Not if you're buying Intel, they don't. The IME reads the HAP bit during boot, and if that's set will set its state to disabled, but it's still there and you're still relying on the software to actually behave as it's supposed to. The same applies to the hardware disable mechanism which involves doing fucky stuff with some of the HDA pins.
Are you sure the weights themselves aren't a derivative work?
So what -- you are just asserting this has something to do with its role as a reserve currency. Again, how does it help?

> Being the reserve currency allows the US to borrow at much cheaper rates than would otherwise be possible

26 countries borrow for less than the US, and from your list those 26 include Japan (the cheapest!), Singapore and Portugal. The US is indeed in the top 1/3, but that hardly supports your claim.

In the end it's simply no big deal either way. Ego-stroking for some, infuriating to others, but at the end of the day just a snooze.

No- it's primarily CAFE driven.

(I'll address a small area of CAFE besides what a commenter said about CAFE below, which appears to be entirely correct and on-the-nose to me re footprint.)

People for the most part didn't want larger trucks. They want the old smaller full size trucks. They are no longer an option.

CAFE targets (among other reasons) have forced the market to switch to Aluminum from Steel, because you can achieve near equal performance, with lower mass and higher mpg.

The cost is that aluminum is not as strong as steel, so you need more volume for equivalent strength. Plus the literal cost $.

But the cheat code is that moment-arm is proportional to force, but also length-squared. M=P*L^2 and similar.

So you can make some design elements lighter by switching steel to aluminum and making it bigger. Boxier.

Bonus is the then new-ish popular idea of crush zone is practically baked in with the larger, lighter, less dense designs.

Add in some addl (Steel to Al) complexity due to serviceability, flexure, and fatigue, (which require addl bumps in mass and/or length/ volume to meet design requirements), and extrapolate over the whole vehicle, and you get the size changes from roughly 2008 (cough, cough) to now.
Some computations work well with large-chunk parallelism, but not fine-grain parallelism.

At some point, greater distribution of computing, especially across a large distributed network (the Internet!), and for smaller individual computing systems, means the time cost of combining or synchronizing intermediate calculations is far greater, than any benefit of adding another computing node.
In a 100-person company full of T-shirt wearers, ~4 random men walking around the trading floor in the middle of the day (a big no-no for any sort of guest) in suits is strange.

Yes, that is the definition of “strange”.

> with TPM, you can put your own keys, and use the TPM to refuse payloads not signed with your keys (ex: a Windows install thumbdrive)

No, that's UEFI Secure Boot, which doesn't use the TPM - it's entirely handled on-CPU. Most of the keys on a TPM are under user control (but aren't involved in the boot process) other than the EK, which is generated at manufacture time and will be consistent for the lifetime of the TPM.

> Emacs is not a modal editor and isn't intended to increase your typing or code editing speed anymore than any other text editor.

This is true by default, but many people do use Spacemacs or Emacs with doom mode enabled which does allow vi keybindings, so I think some people associate it with modal editing.
Tech thinks it is "disruption" when they are breaking laws they don't like / they deem outdated / they deem "unfair" / that prevent them from making more money more quickly.

Tech wanted people to think this was different from Wall St somehow, but I think the average American no longer sees the difference.
Generalizing the forest while ignoring large swathes of what it consists of is a bad idea, not every metro area has the same building makeup and composition as NYC.

NYC already has seen many extreme building conversions, for example turning large apartments into micro-apartments. Many other cities have not had the economic pressure for conversions to occur.

When these buildings default and their property taxes go unpaid, the locality will have to do something with these properties, and often the financing available to municipalities is much better than what the general market can get.
In a basic theoretical model excluding things like individual holders, short term speculators and stocks outside of the index, if you add up all the active funds, then the holdings should indeed match the passive funds (since the passive funds are just holding a percentage of the total, the remainder must hold the remaining percentage).

So in this toy scenario obviously active funds would underperform after fees. But there's more reason for investors to pick stocks than just beat the market (risk preferences - for a lot of people the benchmark is not the S&P but bond yields). The majority of active management is not hedge funds and are not in the business of providing outsized returns (especially not to small retail clients). To beat the market, one must take risks that the other active managers or index committees deem to be unacceptable.
Which video did you watch? Tegmark certainly is afraid that the first smarter-than-human AI will kill everyone: he dicsusses how that might happen at 2:08:40
Security is a pretty broad topic and it's not really my speciality I'm afraid.

That being said, I used to be very interested in capability-based security because it promised solutions to so many security problems but nobody seemed to know about the ideas, and the people who had heard the term often had significant misunderstandings of what was possible with capabilities.

It's been about 20 years but I mostly had it right ;)

The problem with removing regulation for corps so they can work a “free” “market” is that they will exploit. It’s what they’ve always done. It’s what they will always trend toward. See also: kids in auto plans, meat facilities, etc.

The issue is that the labor has no ability to correct the market - in the same fashion. (Ie: labor cannot exploit and downright _murder_ capital owners - like the owners can and have done. There are laws preventing that.)

If humans are not treated with a higher priority than roi or profit, the business is inherently evil. (Hint; they all are.)

If we have laws for some and not for all - that is to say privatization of all corps with no regulation - that is deplorable and will not end well.

A solution, imho, is for all services required for life, health, education, and safety to be public owned and not corporations.

All other services are owned equally by those that operate them, co-op like.

Free markets can still exist like this.

But hey. That’s not really what capitalists claim to want when they say “free market”; that phrase is a dog whistle for “legal exploitation of the labor pool.”
Ask HN: Hard Drive Recovery
I just came across an old HD that I am curious to play with data recovery on. Years ago I thought it had corrupted or died and ran standard linux repair utilities on it, but it turned out that the USB cable I was using was likely the actual culprit and I fixed the drive with the faulty cable which screwed up the drive that was not actually faulty (I think). I did some searches for HD recovery but I just keep getting the generic help of run fsck and if that does not work hire it out, which is not very useful, I am not concerned about the data just want to play with trying to recover some or all of it, I don't even remember much of what is on the drive. So looking for any good resources on the topic.

From what I remember, it is an XFS filesystem, when it supposedly failed I attempted to repair it with xfs.fsck which made things worse and I strongly suspect it was actually the cable at fault which I did confirm was bad. Hindsight is great like that.

I also would be interested in ways to confirm the drives health, confirm that it was the cable that caused the issue, the drive was just a backup drive and had very low read/writes and I would not be bothered by giving up on recovering it and just formatting and bringing it back into use for backup.
Wonderful news if true, what is their secret?
I recently went through 35 years worth of cassette tapes to pull off old songs I had written as a teenager and songs I played with bands I was in over the years. I’m so glad I saved it all to digitize. (And glad I finally got around to it.) I found one song of a band practice from before our band had a drummer or bass player. It was just me on keys, the guitarist and the singer. The guitarist is now dead. We never performed that song live anywhere as we ended up cutting it from our set because it was just a little outside of our style. I was able to bring it into Logic, clean up the tape noise and add a drum track, just to see what it would have sounded like. It let’s me relive a moment of my life in a way that just a simple memory couldn’t. I also found recordings of shows we played. So glad I didn’t throw any of it out. (And yes, some of it was terrible. I didn’t digitize those parts.)
The 'commissioning' notion is how you wish to reduce the equation. I on the other hand consider AI as tool a reasonable proposition for the reasons noted. And from a purely practical point of view, getting worked up over this is tilting at windmills. Change is the constant.
