Maybe a decade ago, but there are now over a dozen buildings over 300 feet in downtown SLC[1].

I was there last week; it's not a "big" city by any means, but it's also certainly not flat by any means. Compare this to Buffalo, which is bigger, older, and still has fewer buildings over 300 feet[2].

Easy, even minors can acquire cash and send (international) envelopes, so send cash over to Mullvad together with your account number and you anonymously get access to a VPN.

Definitely true, but our leadership believes the best strategy to grow as a company is by aligning our customer's growth and success with ours.

As a consumer of SaaS, I'm very comfortable paying for a good product and paying more as my usage/realized value goes up. What I'm not happy with personally is a product that is working well for me and then all of a sudden jumps in cost far above where it was previously.

I was in a similar situation while in college, as a math major. I was asked to run a tutoring session for the "statistics for psychology majors." Explaining continuous distributions -- why they were needed and had their own formulas -- was simply prohibitive. Even the students who learned calculus could solve the exercises, but didn't grasp the basics of continuous math unless they were really paying attention.
These stories about Utah and the comments people make here on HN disappoint me. So many of them are based on prejudices and biases.

I've lived in many places in the USA, from SF to Chicago to NYC to Utah. And honestly, they're just not all that different.

People's sterotypes of the predominant LDS (Mormon) religion make them believe that Utah is unique and a theocracy.

In reality much of American law is based on very similar Christian moral standards. Most states are majority Christian, the laws reflect that. The difference in Utah is that it's mostly _one_ religion, rather than say a mix of various protestant and Catholic faiths.

Try walking around fully naked in any of the places I mentioned above, like into an office building or a university or other establishment, and I guarantee you that those more liberal places will also not tolerate that behavior. Not due to any direct harm you'd be causing, but due to moral standards encoded into culture and law.

Same with alcohol, tobacco, and all the other "vices" people believe are banned in Utah (they're not). If you drive around downtown Salt Lake City, you'll see bars, signs for cannabis cards, smoke shops, and even a some decent breweries. It feels a lot like most American cities. (Granted that elsewhere in Utah like in Provo, you see many fewer of these). Nearly every state allows, but restricts and limits all of these substances and activities in various ways, from licensing to age limits, and Utah is not really very different.

For porn specifically, there have been laws on the books in many states to restrict access to minors for a long time. In the age of magazines, do you think it was legal for a business in California to sell such materials to a minor? If not, why not? Because it was either deemed harmful or immoral, beliefs eventually rooted in religion.

Beyond that, is Utah actually different than other places most Americans would respect for being more "level-headed", like the UK (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/uk-porn-ban-digital-economy-...) or Germany (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/germany-porn-laws-age-checks)?

Now, this specific law is impractical, Utah simply does not have the market power to induce a player like Apple or Google to make device-level age verification the way that Pornhub is suggesting. So the state of Utah has put into effect a law that will result in reduced access to porn (followed by subversion through VPNs) rather than actually age verification. And in the process the state is hurting its reputation.

But the generalizations here about the state due to religious and political biases are just not helpful.

I’m a full-time software engineer who’s been working on a solo project of building an automated trading system. My idea was if I built a good enough platform, then building a profitable strategy should be easy.

One of the ideas I’ve been experimenting with is strategy generation with GPT. The idea is to take plain English and translate and translate it into strategies. For example, you can say something like:

> Create a portfolio with $100,000. Add a strategy to buy TQQQ when (QQQ’s price - 30 day SMA) / 3 day Standard Deviation is less than -0.7. Sell when TQQQ positions are up 6% or down 4%.

These strategies can be added to a portfolio, backtested, optimized, and deployed within the platform.

Has anybody experimented with a similar feature? I think this is game-changing. Ideas are no longer restricted by our ability to configure them.

What are some limitations of this? Any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Ask HN: How should I start my own home lab?
Hello, everyone.

Recently I started creating my projects, and they vary a lot. They're Kubernetes cluster, pihole, vulnerable machines to hack, web servers, home automation, cracking stations, etc.

Any tips and councils on how I should start?
Utah blocking porn is completely a religious issue. Just because the line between religious motivation and anything else isn't 100% black and white doesn't change that.

Gate for gate an FPGA consumes more power then a dedicated chip, but the power dissipation depends heavily on the programming. Careful programming can reduce power dissipation.

A potential advantage of an FPGA over a dedicated chip is that any unused functions can just be left out, saving power dissipation and logic resources. This is the (largely unrealised) promise of Reconfigurable Computing [1].

Yeah this is the easiest way to get started. You probably want a low travel keyboard and ideally a low-latency-variance one to make it easier to find the start. It can be tricky to find where the update ends too because you usually see several frames of lcd switching.

The more advanced version is putting together a microcontroller which acts as a usb keyboard pressing a key, then backspace, then the key again, and uses a light sensor aimed at the right part of the screen to detect rendering in a repeatable way (slightly different fonts/ positions might change when it triggers but that’s likely on the order of a few ms tops, much less than the variance from frame boundaries).

This is such an interesting experiment, and extremely well written.

But it feels half-finished. I agree with his friend's thoughts, rerunning the experiment again, with his newfound knowledge seems like the logical next step. The results of that could validate his hypothesis, and seems like it would be a much more personally meaningful way for him to end his experiment, versus the current conclusion.

> Which vCPU is faster, a ten year old Xeon E5-2643 v2 at 3.5GHz or a two year old Xeon Platinum 8352V at 2.1GHz? It depends on the workload.

It really does not depend on the workload, when those workloads we're talking about are by-and-large bounded to 1vCPU or less (CI jobs, serverless functions, etc). Ice Lake cores are substantially faster than Ivy Bridge; the 8352V will be faster in practically any workload we're talking about.

However, I do agree with this take, if we're talking about, say, lambda functions. The reason being that the vast majority of workloads built on lambda functions are bounded by IO, not compute; so newer core designs won't result in a meaningful improvement in function execution. Put another way: Is a function executing in 75ms instead of 80ms worth paying 30% more? (I made these numbers up, but its the illustration that matters).

CI is a different story. CI runs are only bound by IO for the smallest of projects; downloading that 800mb node:18 base docker image takes some time, but it can very easily and quickly be dwarfed by all the things that happen afterward. This is not an uncontroversial opinion; "the CI is slow" is such a meme of a problem at engineering companies nowadays that you'd think more people would have the sense to look at the common denominator (the CI hosts suck) and not blame themselves (though, often there's blame to go around). We've got a project that can build locally, M2 Pro, docker pull and push included, in something like 40 seconds; the CI takes 4 minutes. Its the crusty CPUs; its slow networking; its the "step 1 is finished, wait 10 seconds for the orchestrator to realize it and start step 2".

And I think we, the community, need to be more vocal about this when speaking on platforms that charge by the minute. They are clearly incentivized to leave it shitty. It should even surface in discussions about, for example, the markup of lambda versus EC2. A 4096mb lambda function would cost $172/mo if ran 24/7, back-to-back. A comparable c6i-large: $62/mo; a third the price. That's bad enough on the surface, and we need to be cognizant that its even worse than it initially appears because Amazon runs Lambda on whatever they have collecting dust in the closet, and people still report getting Ivy Bridge and Haswell cores sometimes, in 2023; and the better comparison is probably a t2-medium @ $33/mo; a 5-6x markup.

This isn't new information; lambda is crazy expensive; blah blah blah; but I don't hear that dimension brought up enough. Calling back to my previous point: Is a function executing in 75ms instead of 80ms worth paying 30% more? Well, we're already paying 550% more; the fact that it doesn't execute in 75ms by default is abhorrent. Put another way: if Lambda, and other serverless systems like it such as hosted CI runners, enables cloud providers to keep old hardware around far longer than performance improvements say it should be; the markup should not be 500%. We're doing Amazon a favor by using Lambda.

I dunno man. Unless I'm misremembering the show, there's a pretty good video record of Anthony Bourdain constantly being served Vodka like it's water in Russia.

The impression I got was that they just consume a lot of strong booze, which happens to be vodka due to being the cheap default, not that it's their preferred drink. Whiskey and such is aged costly stuff, isn't vodka much cheaper to bring to market?
What about cmder? Pretty sure it would be the slowest.
Yeah, I don’t really understand what the difference in latencies reported here would mean for the observed latency distribution of an actual end-to-end test. The latencies reported here are less than the difference in latency one should expect between the top and bottom of a screen (depending on vsync…). The repeatable way to measure these things is with a little embedded device which pretends to be a keyboard and uses a light sensor, but that’s a lot of work to set up even if you don’t need to take and label a bunch of videos yourself.

> other words if you move super far to the left, do you end up wrapping back around on the right wing?

> That’s how the Proud Boys were created - as a response to Antifa violence.

You quoted something talking about wrapping around. However you talked about being reactionary. Being reactionary isn’t wrapping around any more. It goes one way since the left and right wing paradigms were established in the 1700s (or since power/hierarchies first formed between people).

Reactionary is reacting to power and tradition. Which is what antifa is. However it’s not what Proud Boys are. It’s a negative thing aka reactionary create a powerful reaction or response to a leftist decentralized minor movement.

I have studied political science and helped on a paper on reactionaries so I got carried away assuming you meant reactionaries can go from far left to far right or even talking about reactionaries. Also I assumed you were talking politically in a political discussion.

> Sometimes things have a meaning that goes beyond how they would like to be perceived.

And sometimes they don’t have meaning beyond. The example you gave is correct, yes.

Also what does antifa mean beyond anti fascist and what I described above?

—

> Also perhaps I’m not as knowledgeable? How is it wrapping around if different people are reacting. Antifa is about anti fascism. It isn’t about being far left. Antifa isn’t only anarchist or communist.

You didn’t respond to any of this. I wrote 3 lines about antifa. You responded to one.

I also specifically asked:

> …How is it wrapping

My entire issue and explanation was about the way you wrote what you wrote. Too much vagueness when responding to wrapping around being the discussion.

While you didn’t respond to any questions or concerns. I have revolutionary optimistic however so I still give you the respect of a full laid out response.

> The whole point of post here is that so long as these crazy state laws reflect the views of those who live there and existing (not future) rights of protected individuals are not violated, drop the exaggeration and tolerate them as you vehemently disagree with them.
