I agree, insofar that most of the discourse I've seen often neglects fundamental drivers of our economy such as the division of labor and has undue focus on outcomes that are less likely to come to pass, as opposed to risk oriented discussion which is key in risk management.

There was a very good video someone posted not too long ago that covers what should be covered as an overview.

Any engineer knows as soon as the rate of change exceeds the reaction time, you can't keep up and failures happen. In the case of systems, the larger the system the bigger and more damaging the failure. We're dealing with societal mechanics, so failures may have global impact.
The cheapest iPhone Apple sells is only $429 and the used market isn't too bad either for an iOS device that works well.

I think at this point some of the mid-range phone buyers might look to Apple too. Especially kids.
It is absolutely a big miss, but it's in the context of long tail events (in the magnitude of the event severity), which California by its very nature experiences more than most other large population states: relentless storms, heat waves, wildfires.

Should California utilities be better at restoring power in these situations? Absolutely, and we shouldn't cut them much slack in that regard. But that doesn't mean it's a "3rd world country" situation with respect to power reliability like the GP described. The typical power problems faced in developing countries are daily power reliability problems that are due to poor grid management in normal conditions, not exceptional conditions.
In my area it's not too hard to find 3+ year old Australian Cattle Dogs and Shepherds mixes at rescues; a great option to not have to deal with that puppy stage but still have a bright pup.

Resistive is just fine. No way I'm throwing out my 20 years old stove to save 2 minutes boiling water. Once the coil is red hot there's virtually no time difference with induction.
I built an EAP proxy that runs on my EdgeRouter 4 so that I don't have to use the router that AT&T would otherwise require me to:

It's been running for years now out-of-sight and out-of-mind.

Which reminds me... I should probably take a look at those pull requests.
There are a million wrong ways to self-host email, which are usually default, and there's a lack of standardization between all the different servers and clients. Like, it shouldn't even be possible to accidentally send unsigned email, and every server should totally reject it (Gmail still accepts it!). Any old or insecure modes should've all been banned, kinda like how web browsers force min versions of TLS and heavily discourage plain HTTP. I don't have a lot of experience self-hosting email because of how quickly I lost patience with it.

Had more experience with XMPP, which had similar problems. If you're going to make a federated protocol, it has to be strict, otherwise a big player will lay down the law instead.

No trespassing signs have legal weight with certain conditions, and it's up to the judge. I've been in a court case where simply taking pictures outside of the property and showing that the gap between each no trespassing sign was more than 100ft wide was enough for a judge to throw out the charges. I was dirt biking on the power company's property, you see. It hinges on the defendant not noticing such restrictions. In both cases, the robots.txt meant jack. Even their security measures usually meant jack. Instead, it was a legal cease and desist from a lawyer that constituted "no authorization."
Or code that is behind if(false), System.exit or null pointer dereference. Finding those kinds of things is one of the best part of modern compilers, it's nice that they've extended that to the whole ecosystem.

Exactly. Homes built now should be in their prime in the mid 2040s. At that point, we really, really, really don't want to need gas infrastructure for our homes. (If we get to that point, and a significant percentage of people are still heating their homes with gas, then how are we not screwed?)

We need to be building zero emissions homes. (Or as close to it as we can.) The heating technology already exists to replace most single family home gas heating. That begs the question: Why invest in gas infrastructure just for a gas stove? That, frankly, seems shortsighted.

This isn't just about individual choices, or even individual homes. This is about transitioning away from government supported infrastructure that brings gas to homes, which is a society-wide issues. 20 years from now, gas pipes to homes should be seen as unnecessary.
I check out Hacker News everyday but this is my first post. I had never been a person who likes computers until the COVID lockdowns began. Some day I opened a Python course advertisement, I started the course but I got no computer to code the exercises, so I installed Termux on my 80$ Android phone and bought a 7$ external keyboard in order to do the Python exercises. Since then I have read several books about Linux and programming and bought my first laptop in order to continue with my self-taugh programming journey, all thanks to Termux.

"Serverless" is a cloud-native software development paradigm. Of course there is a server - the machine, and there is a server running on the machine (that you don't control). The point is in the code you write - it allows you (the developer) to forget about servers as in software as well as servers as in machines.

A serverless program (often called a function) is invoked by a server on-demand instead of running all the time, and it doesn't listen for anything on any port. The client request is passed to it by the server (e.g. on standard input) and it's supposed to pass the response back to the server (e.g. through standard output) - and the server sends it to the client. Then the program halts.

Compare that to Django, Node.js or ASP.NET: A classic backend app exposes a HTTP server on a port and handles client connections itself - and thus it has to run all the time, it literally is a server (in the software sense).

If you know PHP, that's the original serverless. As opposed to the Python/ASP.NET/Node.js backends, your page.php is invoked by the Apache daemon only when someone opens that page, and there's no "server.listen(3000)" in page.php.

Serverless is cool because it allows the cloud provider to fully utilize a machine while the developer pays only for their portion of actual usage. You don't need to reserve a specific amount of compute resources and worry about up/down-scaling or about paying for unused hardware.

Serverless GPUs are about bringing that concept to the GPU as a service space - ideally you'd have a function that uses the GPU. That function could be invoked by sending a request to the platform's server, at which point the server would load and execute it, pass the client request to it and pass the response back to the client once the function is done.
And what prevents that when it becomes known there are n+1 metrics to game? And your doing this in a large organization, so it is statistically inevitable that people will want to game the metrics, bad actor or not?
As behind-the-meter demand management technology advances, and behind the meter storage becomes more affordable, we will be able to increasingly support high power use cases without needing 200A service drops at all. This is where we will end up: sipping power through a straw and storing it for short bursts of high-power usage.
They are squeezing small size out, not efficiency. You can get more power from a small engine, but you trade long term reliability when you do.
I would expect that those binaries would be built and deployed constantly, even if they just woke up once a day to check whether it was mid-april or whenever the financial year ended. I would also expect that they would be integrated with other reporting that happened on a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.

Do you really have an entire application binary that is only deployed and run once a year?
> It wouldn't surprise me that training this ability when you're young leads to much longer-term memory than training it as an adult, the same way that training gymnastics when young leads to the ability to do a back handspring from muscle memory, or training a foreign language gives you a much better ability to speak it without an accent.

This is a function of time, not age.

Adults can (though seldom) learn languages to perfect fluency with zero accent. It's all a matter of how much time and immersion you put into it.

Adults are mostly too busy and have too many responsibilities. Children have all the time in the world.

You are naive if you don't think your tax dollars right now are going to a million things in a million different ways that don't benefit you, and that it's not intentional. In the end such decisions aren't made by convincing people like you or me they work in our favor or the American people's favor. I won't try to convince you. You didn't understand what I meant by "you already know" and you didn't respond to anything I said, just kept parroting your line of reasoning.

Rust has a perfectly nice protobuf implementation if they want one, why would it become a C dependency for a Rust rewrite?
YT-Premium is the best answer to this problem so far being completely honest. Being a direct supporter is the most beneficial to the creator (and I do appreciate it!) but does have a poor value proposition to the supporter. YT-premium is, from my experience, something like 5X compared to standard ad revenue per view and gets the user a better viewing experience. It's almost perfect, except that the more popular premium is, the more it lowers the value of ads to the advertisers reducing the other revenue source. So far that doesn't seem to be a problem based the % of YT-Premium users I see on my end though.

And personally as a creator, if you pay for YT-Premium I would absolve you of blocking ads and sponsors to just enjoy the subject material you do actually pay for. I don't do sponsors because I rely so much on direct supporters that I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with that.

As an aside, and with the note it's more the fault of the creators for making slow paced videos (which I am also guilty of), playing back at higher speeds reduces the watch time that is actually the real time spent watching which in turn reduces ad revenue. The system is full of gotchas.
Looks promising!

You are absolutely correct here for most businesses.

Howvever, there are many companies working within heavily regulated sectors that unfortunately need to be able to evidence a rapid ability to switch platforms AND exactly where data is stored and processed.

As such using very specific offerings in cloud providers is unfortunately not always an option. Something that is portable, even at expense of complexity or available dev time, becomes a non negotiable.

They were easy to modify for more power, but you trade reliability when you do that. People who ran them stock and followed the maintenance plan generally found them reliable.

A lot of these kind of skills arent always applicable or comparable to a salary position.

Many do odd contract jobs that are extremely high value; i.e. come in a fix this super big bug or add this super important feature on a COBOL system at an extremely high day rate because its hard to find people with appropriate skills.

I get what you're trying to say, but perhaps you mean the ContextManager / ServiceManager, which isn't tied to ART at all, but Binder (Android's primary IPC mechanism), instead.

I agree races to the bottom aren't always helpful - see also college admissions and how so many kids are loaded to the gills with "extracurriculars" to "stand out" - but ...

> If a company is aware that they are missing out on good applicants due to how they conduct interviews, they should improve their interview process.

if only it were that easy!

I've never worked at a company that hasn't wanted to improve their interview process.

Even that "tell people roughly what to expect" thing is a result of trying to improve the process - you can more easily tell the difference between "even with hints, they weren't able to hack it" and "they were able to figure it out, though we're not sure how much the hints had to do with it." That's a step better then "they passed the test" and "they didn't pass the test, regardless of if it's because it caught them by surprise or just that they aren't able to."

It's not perfect, but most of the common things I've seen pitched here to "just" make it a better process, like trial periods and take-home "real work sample" tasks, seem wildly impractical as at-scale replacements.

EDIT: my personal favorite is when the candidate has a system they've worked on in the past that they can explain in detail and describe challenges and solutions for... but... the pool of people who can do that has been even smaller than the pool of people who can at-least-pseudocode their way through some mild live problem solving and design questions.
The problem is that the "cobol language job" is really a mainframe job which means an operating system that is from a completely alien parallell reality that diverged from the rest of the timeline 60 years ago. So it's not a cobol job, it's a relearn computing from the ground up again job. I'm exaggerating but it's a complete nervous system shock until one acclimates to the zOS paradigm.
Ok I gotta know... what's the art?
Effectively "revenge porn"/deep fakes of actual children. That's gross and humiliating because there's a real victim to point to. There are monsters in the world, no doubt.

Although, I'm apprehensive at the thought for the potential of this sort of underground taboo material to include generative AI creating fully synthetic biographies, videos, social media trails, chat bots, video conferences and such that appear real enough to pass Turing tests. In realpolitik terms, it may be a relief in disguise if it meant less targeting of real human beings.

I'm also wondering if the 4chan types, terrorists, and violent sociopaths will use generative technologies to simulate scenes and events they wish to transpire. If so, then where does one draw the line between that and say shoot 'em up games? Do their so-called fictional plans and expressions become crimes?

(Sigh. It's confusing, uneasy, and brain-breaking.)
One thing, we were taught in my math degree that knowing how to explain something many different ways reflected deep understanding. Knowing how to explain something once reflected some base understanding. Two different ways is much better. Three, and you’re starting to see some real understanding. Works for how to solve problems and various things, too. Vanilla repetition works, too, of course. Oral communication involves a lot of repetition in person and is sometimes missed.

I’d suggest YTers consider avoiding fluff and looking into “repetition”. Many videos are just poor at communicating. Some will talk so fast I have to play them at 1/2 speed. Things like that.

Might be time for some YTers to reconnect with the basics of communication and presenting information. It’s not solely graphics that matter.

Edit-key facts like names/places/times etc are prime examples. It kills me when people say someone’s name then forever after use pronouns. It’s easy to forget or just gloss over significance with vagaries.

This is hyper dangerous. People are prone to accepting robot CLs and even a small error rate of deleting important code will be a big problem. GWP is also only able to instrument a very small number of requests.
Absolutely.

Whats more is that basically all things in the solar system exert influence on one another. For some things its not a huge influence but even if you are orbiting the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter have an influence on that orbit.

Overall its mind blowing to me that at some point, not too long ago, we had people able to figure out things like the mass of some body they could barely see and deduce how it affects other bodies in the system.

even today with something like Planet Nine/Persephone[1]. We cant see it, its 10x the mass of earth, but based on the mass and trajectories of what we CAN see and how they are being influenced, we know something(s) more are still out there.

This is something even KSP doesnt do well. And its one of those deeply humbling facts for me that I am not that smart. No way i could ever figure out things like the mass of a celestial body, even with the tools I have right now in front of me 2]

If we want to go back to the moon, or better, to Mars, I think after I turn 70, I would absolutely volunteer to take a high risk test mission off planet, and potentially to Mars.

About half the content on Mastodon is usually complaining about Twitter yet this week the attention turned to Bluesky. What a depressed cynical bunch they are.

Several have found the TOS, screenshot it, and wildly proclaim that "Bluesky will own all your content!", all commenters gullible enough to accept this proclamation. Whilst the TOS is just the standard legalese needed to run a user-generated content site. These people are incompetent or misinformation agents, or both.

They zoom in on a missing feature and declare the product DOA. Whilst it is very obviously a beta.

They found "nazi content". It was actually a user replying to some progressive post expressing their dislike for the BLM movement. A raw opinion, not one I personally agree with, but not even close to "nazi". But even if you do think it's out of line, it's a bloody social network.

They go on to bash the moderation options of Bluesky, which I honestly find refreshing (if they actually work, that is). The idea is that the user can pick per controversial category to hide, warn, or allow. But the fact that you can chose "allow" is a problem, according to them. Except for porn of course, because the anarchist furry sex worker should most definitely not be censored.

Oh, and also, Musk is a nazi and so is Dorsey. None commenting seem to have a clue how these two characters relate to Bluesky, but better be safe than sorry.

It's just one bad take after the other, expressed by sour miserable people without investing a second in what they're so confidently judging.

I don't have any stake in Bluesky, but I feel for teams releasing amidst such hostility. If they can pull of nomadic identity, "chose your algorithm", functional federation, moderation without tyranny, we're looking at something quite exciting.

I understand the argument from creators. Blocking ads and sponsors prevents them from doing what they love. But the argument from users is equally compelling, since advertisements prevent them from enjoying what they love. Everybody is acting rationally and I'm not sure I/we/society owes anyone the ability to make a living as a YouTube video producer. I would not be sad to see a return to amateur folks making and uploading stuff just for fun, in their spare time.
