Ok, so latent side effects are long term side effects that have no immediately observable impact. As in, we aren't aware of them until later. You're arguing over semantics, but latent effects absolutely do matter as well. And are just as important to consider in the risk profile. If I eat mad cow prions, I might not have any immediate issues, but those prions are folding around in my head. Is that a latent or a long term side effect? The only difference is whether it's observed or not. So does it matter? It's still an issue.
With the mRNA vaccines, one of the only side effects that's acknowledged now in public is the cardiovascular damage they can cause. You can damage your cardiovascular system and not notice it for a long time. Likewise, the iGG4 antibody triggering for the spike proteins, this actually has an immediate side effect that can be mistaken as a beneficial side effect, less symptoms! But, now your infections are treated like common allergens by your immune system and a "mild" case of COVID causes you to die suddenly. Latent, long term... what's the difference?

Also, outright dismissal of an argument based on appeal to authority is not productive.

You've forgotten the effect of advertising. There's enormous induced demand for these things, which could be instantly reduced by a prohibition (or time limitation) of advertising, broadcast rights etc. Right now BAH are enormously incentivised to promote the hell out of these places, as are third parties that help you 'game the system'. Take the money out of the system and you limit it to organic reach - you aikido the pay to speak nature of contemporary social media.
I don't read it like that at all. Both solutions use the Amazon cloud. Only in one solution you distribute a lot of processes, just because it's possible, and easy to code. When they figured out that rampant distribution was costly, they put more thinking in keeping a lot of computation in the same place (so, "monolith", but still in the cloud). No surprise, they found great savings. If they hadn't, they wold not have written about it. But they had to put some (most likely major) effort into redesigning the application.

Thank you sharing. Sounds like a terrible company to do business with.
Raising interest rates also reduces productivity and supply. Raising taxes is more efficient so reduces productivity less than raising interest rates does.
I spent an hour looking through the GitHub repo for the Tamagotchi core and disassembler. That you accomplished all this in just seven months is very impressive, for someone like me just starting out learning Verilog on Xilinx FPGA in Vivado.

I’ve managed to make the 4 LEDs on my Digilent Arty board ping-pong back and forth like the power indicator on the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, debounce the buttons and switches and set up clock division to produce different frequencies from the hardware clock. That’s taken me a handful of days in my spare time.
Despite expressions of a lot of mimetic discontent online about how bad K&R is, the second edition (1988) remains an excellent example of technical writing. It's a good intro to (ANSI) C. It's not a good guide to e.g. build systems or other industry-standard tools, for the reasons described at the beginning of this article—but then again it doesn't pretend to be. (The name of the book is "The C Programming Language", after all.)
Sorry mate but no, the worst class of all are those facing homelessness every month and forgoing meals because they simply can't afford food.
Can you point me to where this is clearly stated in the documentation ? I only found one reference as a passing note when I went searching for it. This would be a value displayed in the pricing calculator with a link to explanation if they were being honest.

90s CPU comparison is just to demonstrate how out of place it is with what people are used to even on lowest tier hosts with shared CPU cores. Low ram compute seems to be artificially limited to make low ram lambdas useful in very narrow use cases.

For reference I have a devops team in-company that deployed and maintained several AWS projects, including some serverless, even they were surprised at the low compute available at low RAM lambdas.
If you dispense the same punishment to two individuals and one is less able to withstand that punishment, are you punishing that person more? I’m not sure that the answer is a simple “yes”.

For one, this would mean if you gave someone a 50% discount on their parking fine because they were poor, but it turned out they actually only had 25% of the assets of the rich person, you are still unfairly punishing the poor person more than the rich person. It can’t be correct that an observer has to know the financial status of every citizen to judge whether their government is being fair or not.

Are you completely ignorant? What nonsense.
Oh this looks perfect, thanks!

Here's one more thing I don't know - how do you evaluate whether or not an FPGA is sufficient for what you want to do? For example, let's say I want to talk to an image sensor which has a 3088x2076 resolution, and either capture still images or maybe video at some frame rate. Which specs do I need to hone in on and evaluate to determine which FPGAs would work, and which won't?
This can be done with DMS. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Introd...
> What I think people who work in tech fail to realise is that non-tech people are learning about these dangers and I don’t think they’re impressed or care if you have a computer to play with or robots playing soccer.

Doubtless.

That said, when it comes to AI risk, normal people have no reason to know the boundaries between reality and sci-fi for the same reason that I, as a non-lawyer, have no reason to know the boundaries between law and Hollywood tropes.

By extension, this means that I expect the general public to be aware of countless fictional examples of AI takeover scenarios, some where the AI was given a goal and blind logic made it bad for everyone (Days of Future Past, Colossus the Forbin Project), some where the AI is actually evil (Terminator, the character Lore in TNG/PIC), and some where the AI is a tool used by malevolent humans (many Dark Mirror episodes, some TOS), and some where it mixes several of the above (Westworld TV series).

Then you need to give all the poor people enough money to outbid all the rich people - otherwise no individual poor person can win the auction. Sounds a lot more expensive than letting people self select and assigning tickets based on some method other than money.
Microservices are just an architectural pattern, and like all patterns there are places where they are highly appropriate, and others where they are inappropriate.

Same for cloud, same for <pattern>

If everything is a hammer you'll hurt your thumb/hand/arm.

At least now (for some time) the pattern is named, so broadly when talking about this sort of thing, the name conjures up the same/similar image in everyones heads.

There are all sorts of inputs to the choice of architectural patterns, including budget, scalability (up and down), criticality, security, secrecy, team skills and knowledge, preference, organisational layout, organisation size, vendor landscape, existing contracts, legal jurisdiction ....
Excuse me? How so?
If you want to punish someone equally with fines, you need to fine rich people a higher proportion of their wealth and income, not even just the same percent.

I'm not swimming in money but I earn well above average, and because I do my disposable income is a higher multiple of the average persons disposable income than my income is. To be fined even, say, a few days income for me is at most a minor nuisance. Maybe I'll feel bad enough to eat out at restaurants less that month. Maybe. To be fined 1 days income for someone low paid might mean they'll struggle to cover their bills or eat.

There's nothing equal about even a fixed proportion of income for that reasn. But it's significantly better than a fixed amount that doesn't take income into account at all.

If you truly want to punish people financially the same in the sense of making it hurt the same for the same transgression, you'd have to fine people earning above average not just a higher amount, but a significantly higher percentage of their earnings and wealth.

EDIT: I'm reminded of Marx discussion in Critique of the Gotha Program of the first proposed program for what became the German SPD of the use of the term "equal rights" which, after tearing the term aparts ends with "To avoid all these defects, right, instead of being equal, would have to be unequal." That is, if you want equal outcomes, you can't treat people the same, because their situations are not the same.
That's not how capitalism works. If you don't like something about the company, just don't buy the stock. Simple.

Car dependence imposes a huge cost on the poor. With good public transportation and bicycle infrastructure, poor people wouldn't need a car.

Reducing car dependence is a good thing for the poor.
I do. This now means that double-click can treat my google.com cookies as first party cookies whwther I as a user want them to or not. I know that's the intention, and I'm not ok with that.
This does not solve anything. Poor would then mean "people with shorter life spans (older, sick)", and rich would mean "people with longer life spans (young, healthy)". That would mean that a morbidly obese, smoking guy would need to spend less days doing labour than some middle class guy who isn't even close to his retirement and puts priority on his health. So we would effectively punish the healthy.

People should just stop thinking about global policies, because it's a road to hell.

This. And I think people tend not to understand how little actual hardware they are paying for when using AWS et al.

A really cheap server leasing deal will cost you yearly about as much as the purchase price of the server. With opaque AWS services it is probably more like a month of subscription to pay for the hardware that you are indirectly using.
Email is the most annoying one. There's an old API that some apps use that always uses Mail.app, regardless of what my "default email client" is set to. SUPER annoying as I only have my work email in Mail.app and it's usually for things like bug reports or news article feedback, you know, things I do on my free time which have nothing to do with work.

The bug report ones is especially annoying as those emails are often pre-populated with a bunch of data that isn't so easy to just copy into a new email in a different mail client, like support attachments, etc.
There are only very few people that own social platforms.

By contrast, a lot more people own US, Russia, China... based businesses on the Internet, and those have been effectively banned in the EU since 2015 for similar reasons, do we have any examples 8 years later of EU law enforcement abusively intimidating business owners from these "rogue" countries ?

Kiss of death for Gitlab? A temporary bump in profits while being technically assimilated by Google due to a significant portion of profits being directly dependent on Google? Now people who don't want to contribute to Microsoft training data sets on Github and escaped to Gitlab will be forced to contribute to Google's training data or forced to migrate elsewhere.
Gitlab has large overlap with bitbucket / jira. Likely more useful for Atlassian to buy Gitlab.
> but there's a kind of irony it's come from an internal Amazon team

Not at all. My time working with AWS reps, they never pushed a particular way of doing things. Rather, they tried to make what we wanted to do easier. And the caveat was always to test and make decisions on what was important to us. This isn't an anti-AWS article. Rather, it's exactly the type of thing I'd expect from them. Use the right tool for the right job.
That article is a joke.

>if you actually measure time from keypress to event

Nobody measures keyboard latency this way because when you do the keyboards with less key-travel (Apple Magic) end up with lower "latency"; clearly an absurd result and not at all what you are actually trying to measure. It does not line up with anyone's definition of keyboard latency.

I'm an investor. To make that work, I'm not a historian, but a current-ian.

I avoid news like the plague - all narrative, all emotion, all written by English majors, not subject-matter experts. If a current-ian has to avoid the news, what hope will a historian have in a hundred years in understanding the truth of our time, given only a storm of past-due emotional clickbait?

Future historians can learn more from dispassionate recording of facts, not local news. They would be better served by databases that have lists of facts about current times in simple data formats. Stats, voting records, laws, commodity prices, demographics, weather data, boring (but low-key fascinating) things like that.

Ask HN: Would you replace your SDRs with AI at 10% of the cost
Hey everyone! My name is Yuri. I am a Ukrainian and a YC founder (AXDRAFT, W19).

I want to ask for your feedback and critical thoughts on an idea that I can’t stop thinking about for few weeks now – AI SDR.

Many of us know what SDRs do and the end goal is to automate all of SDR’s functions, but to narrow it down, I see it as an AI tool to: (1) craft and send email campaigns and (2) correspond and handle objections via email on your behalf with a goal to book a meeting for your sales rep and using only your (1) ideal customer profile; (2) product overview and (3) objections playbook as inputs. The underlying AI technology is mostly GPT-4 API, potentially with some fine tuning.

With the boom of generative AI, this idea seems obvious and there are already few companies getting started in this space, including Lavender.ai, Aristotle, as well as Sail, Rift and Coldreach , backed by YC during S23.

Nevertheless, I think that the market opportunity is huge and can support more than one company and execution (UX+sales funnel build-up approach) will determine, who gets the biggest share.

Here are some questions, I would be grateful if you could answer:

1. When and why did you decide to hire your first SDR? Did it work? 2. If you have an SDR team – how many people and are you satisfied with the output/results/return on investment? 3. Would you buy an AI solution instead of hiring a full-time SDR? (yes/no, why?) 4. Would you fire any number of your SDRs to replace them with an AI solution (yes/no, why?)

Please respond in comments or email me directly at yz@aisdr.com

I would also be very grateful for any critical feedback or thoughts in respect of the above idea, especially in terms of potential bottlenecks and risks that you see.

If you want to learn more about how I see it working and receive updates on my progress, you can check out a landing page here: https://aisdr.com.

Thank you all so much in advance!

Yuri

I quite like the idea of viewing run cost as architecture fitness function https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/run-cost-as-ar....

If your architecture has a high cost to develop, test and run when a cheaper architecture meets your needs, it's a sign that you have overengineered. In my experience there is an order-of-magnitude increase in complexity by adopting microservices that only starts to pay off when your org and user base are huge.
I've come to the conclusion that Airbnb simply isn't worth the hastle. Just give me a hotel that does things professionally. There's always something.

From experience I say that the operational overhead to host on Amazon isn't trivial at all.

I like AWS and I would still recommend it. It saves some work but also creates new stuff to do. Especially if you also want the costs be manageable. Automatic updates, configuring a firewall + reverse proxy with automatic certificate renewals and you favorite deployment mechanism isn't more complicated or labor intensive than managing a small application with AWS. You need to interface it just like software you run on your server.

One of the services I host needed to be authenticated by IP. Happens. You easily get a static IP on AWS for incoming traffic. No problem and cheap too. Now try to get one for the other direction... Possible too, but maintenance just became at least as labor intensive as hosting your own machine. AWS just has to fit your scenario and I think many people overestimate how comparatively easier it has become to host a server with feasible security today. Chances are your databases would be less public than if you skip the AWS documentation.
