Not that I want to advocate for Kubernetes, but this is just a stepping stone for another blog post in a few years "How managed services in AWS got us fired!" detailing how when AWS changed their pricing/strategies the companies had no way out of their design choices.

The "vendor agnostic" approach was the right call to make at that point in time. Sure, every business is unique and some cases fit better for a hands-off (lets pay for the convenience of AWS taking care of managed offerings) approach. But, it is a fallacy to think there is no cost to pay for that decision.

The cost of operating your vendor agnostic infrastructure is replaced by your team now needing to learn the intricacies of AWS such as IAM, AWS's way of networking, backups etc. Those operational needs dont just go away, they just become "easier" and more defined as AWS's way of doing it.

As a consultant, one must know where to draw the line and recommend the appropriate route.

Until that tree that was just planted dies and decays back into co2. I understand that there's ways to prevent this from happening for a while, but I'm not convinced that the economics of that work well enough to offset the high quantity demand of aviation fuel. We already grow lots of trees to use in houses etc. In any case, your comments helped me understand the greater picture. I still think biofuels are a good idea for the near future. They may be an economic hack, but I think they'll work. We likely disagree on this.
It’s not a fault of their peers to be so easily addicted, rather the blame is on engineers working hard to make 2d images and text into dopamine drugs. Otherwise you’re right. People are so oversocialized that the very thought of alienation scares them. As if today’s society is the absolute pinnacle of goodness and everyone _must_ indulge in it as much as possible.

How is "I own this text" less arbitrary than "I own this forest"? You can't "own" a forest, you can only prevent other people from entering it but if the forest is large enough you can't even do so on your own, even if you live in the forest.

Heck, while you might "own" a chair, how do you "own" a million chairs? You can't use a million chairs. You can't even store a million chairs in one place. You certainly can't guard them yourself, much like the forest.

And how do you "own" a business? How do you "own" the factory when you're not even using it, nor would be able to do so yourself and instead you have to pay dozens of people to use it for you?

"Property" literally just means "exclusive claim backed up by force". That's the primary function of the state, it's why we have police.

I guess I’m confused what’s printing the output here. On other OSes typically things like this are implemented by malloc recording the addresses and whatever parses the report later doing the symbolication when displaying it. I guess kdump just dumps the report but is there no porcelain that takes the kdump data and cleans it up a bit more for human consumption?

Also, assuming you're writing from a United States perspective, part of the reason so much of our manufacturing sector was outsourced to China (and other nations) is that since 1971 the US dollar has been our primary export, as the global reserve currency among all the fiat currencies. This is starting to change, so I think we'll see more and more manufacturing returning to the USA as the dollar looses international reserve status. And I wonder to what extended Chinese copying our technologies is connected to macro monetary realities.

It will be generally good for the world, for American manufacturing, workers, businesses, and families---pretty much for all except Wall Street banks and those close to the government money spigots.
Whether you can shop around to find someone who can tell you what you want to hear is unrelated to the mixed fact and law question of whether it is a defensible position that software development salaries must be capitalized.
That is a great overview. It covers everything very succinctly.
An interface is how you connect your own code to the other code. There is a large interface design space spanning from extremely minimal and simple, to extremely detailed, flexible, giving control over performance etc.

Interfaces that are very simple tend to allow a broad range of implementations but may fail to make accessible all the capabilities of the implementation. On the other hand, interfaces that provide good control over runtime characteristics etc. tend to already give away the implementation.

If "API" were primarily about abstraction, it would be called APA.
The world is significantly larger than you think. Most of the people posting here are from the US, which makes up ~5% of the population.

If your idea is so fragile that anybody else with a similar idea can knock you out of the market, it's probably not very good.
Walter is talking about D, and he said this:

> D doesn't distinguish between a string and a string view.

In C++ std::string owns the buffer and std::string_view borrows it. If there is no difference between the two in D, then how is this difference bridged?
Not against this business model as long as there is some way for me to make sure that whatever I'm hosting there is under my control and the website doesn't go bust 12 months later.

As such, I'd be more keen on paying if this would be controlled and managed by us, the payers. If it goes down and it was free, well, it's what you can reasonably expect from Free. If it goes down and I've paid for it, I'm going to be rather frustrated.

Unfortunately we can't have this discussion until we talk about the larger issue of society catering to people's made up fairy tale religions, which is the root of this puritanical anti-sex behavior.

If I said that Earth was at the center of the solar system, up is down and the sky is green you would tell me that I'm wrong and misinformed, but if I said that I believe in a magical man in the sky who can walk on water and will send everyone to Hell for eternity for looking at porn then suddenly my "faith" has to be respected and everyone else has to change their behaviors to accommodate it. It's utter nonsense.
R1102G has nominal 6W tdp, so its very comparable to GX-412 in that sense. It also has 2x2.5Gbe networking builtin so that should be a major win for something like pcengines

You can even go from R to I^d.

The problem that I'm having is in getting from R to R^d, which I still don't think is possible - look at the comment where I mention "surjections" and "bijections".
> However, Gupta expected more. “Offering pizzas is the last thing an employee wants for a milestone that is purely monetary. What about cash rewards? At least shopping coupons,” she complained, adding that the HR could have come up with a more “useful prize” for her hard work.

The entitlement is insane. Your wage is your reward for your work. That's the deal you agreed to. Arguing that bonuses aren't good enough is wild.
There are some models that can generate tileable textures, for example.
One of Java's strong points has always been the amount of care to source and binary compatibility (Java 8 classes work fine on Java 20, source code only need minor modifications).
I welcome the new restrictions since they make Java more secure and future-proof, but they have a price. There's lots of (framework) code that makes use of those loopholes and many Java projects already have issues with maintenance since it's not the 'hot stuff' anymore.
I think that depends on intend. If you train the model specifically to clone an artists artstyle or characters, maybe even use their name for marketing (in the style of <famous artist>), than that might be a copyright violation and/or trademark violation.

On the other side if you just dump tons of artist into a model to teach it how to draw, it'll be a much harder argument to make when the result doesn't really look like any artist in particular.

However a big problem with current models is that their vocabulary is still quite limited, so the only way to get some interesting art style with just a text prompt is to have a "by <artist name>" in the prompt. That's rather fishy. Meanwhile if you custom train a model, the amount of images you put into it will be drastically lower and more focused than what went into into initial training, so that's a bit fishy too.

Long term I expect art models to filter trademark terms and just get better language understanding or other means of input (e.g. sketches in ControlNet), so that the model ends up being unable to reproduce something close to an existing work out of the box. It wouldn't stop the user from using that model to perform some copyright violation, but it would require intend and effort on the users part.
Ask HN: Seeking a Vector Database for ClickHouse Users – Suggestions Appreciated
I am currently working on a project that requires me to store and efficiently query large amounts of multidimensional data, and I believe a vector database could provide the perfect solution. However, I am unsure which one would best integrate with ClickHouse.
If any of you have had experience using a vector database in conjunction with ClickHouse, I would be immensely grateful for your recommendations and insights.
I have the same keyboard. It's amazing. I was used to QWERTY on a standard keyboard, but switched to Colemak Mod-DH for the Corne. I've been using it for two years, and my posture has never been better. Neither have I lost my proficiency in QWERTY. Currently, I type at about 50wpm on a standard keyboard and >100wpm on the corne.

It took me about four months to really get used to it, and even longer to type without looking at it (about six months).

Can't agree to the article when it comes to KDE Plasma. It already offers quite wide and customizable keyboard shortcuts for doing window management and other things as well. Also the latest version actually has incorporated basic infrastructure for tilling windows. So I would say KDE Plasma is on a good path to become that tilling desktop environment. And there are already nice extensions available for KDE Plasma, like Bismuth, that already provide some advnaced tiling capabilities.
Because that's now how libel laws work. If you could always use the "well, it's just what the interviewees said" defense, then any broadcast company could easily seek out the craziest nut jobs to spew lies, give them tons of airtime, and have interviewers give lots of leading/suggestive comments (it's not lost on me that, sadly, this is how a lot of "news" organizations work these days).

Now, the thing that makes it hard to prove defamation against a news organization is the "actual malice" standard (the legal term is actually a bit different from what those words normally mean). That is, if the Fox interviewees came on and spewed their lies, and there was no evidence that Fox itself disbelieved them or were highly skeptical, Fox would be fine. But the thing that was so damaging to Fox is that they were publishing lies while at the same time commenting in private messages that they knew it was all BS. That is why Fox had so much legal jeopardy.

The thing about Meditations is that it's advice from a Roman Emperor, and, at first blush, more important than the advice of a 30 y.o. tech bro.

But only a few years later Altman has more influence and power than even Aurelius in his time.

We should all read Montaigne instead, the reflections of a man 1400 years later, isolated, considering his influence and how he lives/lived in the world.
I loved the old menu screens. I remember one on the C64 that had a little spaceship in the left screen border. It could be moved up and down with the cursor keys, the space bar made it shoot at the menu entries. If you hit one, you had it selected successfully, if you missed, the projectile was reflected from the right screen border. If you were not quick enough to move the ship out of the way you'd shoot yourself down. A tiny and very upset space creature emerged from the damaged vehicle and dragged it off the screen.

I still believe being able to portray an upset alien in like seven or eight pixels is true art.

Reminds me of a thread I perused once re Orbital Ring Space elevator concept, and how it seems not only possible, but almost disgustingly cheap (in terms of the gains) with current technology. Not only would such an endeavor restore some aspect of pride to humanity, but the benefits are quite numerous.

To name a few low-hanging fruit:

The research done to make it possible, would definitely advance several fields.

The ability to access photons from outside of the atmosphere should vastly improve how much energy we could capture from the sun. Pair this with transparent solar tech designed to pass through the wavelengths that are useful to plants, and we can factory farm crops in space using fully automated systems. This could also lead to exploration of engineered crops that can withstand (and potentially absorb radiation), that may serve as a biological wall for the humans.

Obviously, it would be a given that asteroid mining would become vastly more simplified, and autonomous robotic space construction and perhaps even asteroid mining would become a fantastic way to profit from it (or/and dilute the value of existing rare earth minerals/metals).

Obviously, this would also make intra-solar travel orders of magnitudes cheaper.

Maintaining and cleaning up space debris would become substantially simpler.

Building planetary defense mechanisms (against extinction level events) would become more feasible if we have this in place.

There are obviously an enormous number of things that could go wrong with a project like this, but given a CERN or Manhattan Project level of funding and cooperation, I think we could build this in a couple decades.

This is the kind of future I would want to be a part of.
The cost estimate I think was somewhere in the trillions, but even so, the potential benefits are so vast that it just doesn't make sense not to do it, right?

It is a sort of automatic reflex when encountering stuff like $x^x$ in such contexts like here in mathematics to take logarithms. Working with logarithms is usually much simpler and easier to understand when having variables in both the exponent and the base, both for technical reasons (the logarithms will not be avoided anyway, as the other commenter said) and for intuition-gaining reasons. Multiplication of two functions is more intuitively understood (as one can work stuff such as signs, monotonicity etc easily) than exponentiation involving one function in the base and one in the exponent.
To me, it was not obvious until I read the article in full. When I saw the 75% number I thought they only meant the original copy because surely there must exist some form of a copy in some archive somewhere, but I was wrong. There are no copies in existence whatsoever for these 75%, which is a mind-blowingly high number for me. If someone would have asked me I would have said maybe 1%.

I do agree that it's related and that it will likely lead to a similar outcome where new things get lost permanently.

There is no need to exhibit bijections, if you have an injection X -> Y and an injection Y -> X, then X and Y have the same cardinality. This is the statement of the Cantor-Schroeder-Bernstein theorem.

If you assume the axiom of choice it's enough to have surjections both way.
Seeing as we're in the integer world, I'm not sure logs need to show up ever, there's probably a proof path around unique prime factorisations. E.g. it's more or less immediately obvious that n and m would need to share the same prime factors in the same ratios.
