Is your post written in jest? Nobles could not "literally" kill peasants on a whim. This is a preposterous claim. The nobility had a duty to protect the peasants on their land and they were bound by various general and specific moral duties toward them. Whatever the faults of the people and arrangements of that era, what you've written is a caricature, like something pulled out of the stockpile of slanderous nonsense that appeared in Enlightenment pamphlets and other rags.
They’ve convinced me to shut off the GitHub status alerts I get on slack (or at least move them to their own channel that I can ignore).
I had something similar happen to me just the other day. One of my websites was running slowly. I had run out of AWS CPU credits.

Did some investigating and finally found the root cause. I had a background backup job that downloaded some resources and then zipped them up and stored them in s3. But I had changed servers, and the final step of the job on the new server was failing. So it just kept downloading resources, failing, and a short while later attempting again.

I put in some new checks to notify me on failures.
> It is possible to amplify a model - for example ensembling a bunch of predictions, using reversible tasks like translation to check if you get back to the original, applying code execution and math verification, using a search engine or using narrow models. Basically augmented LLMs are smarter than plain LLMs.

Yes, these are great extensions. It's part of where I like thinking of these things as human as they are all good answers to "how would you do X?" I'd search for answers, I'd run code and see what the error message was, etc. I'd talk through problems, try and list things too. It's not a perfect analogy, but I think people do things like ask them to effectively whiteboard a solution then complain that some API doesn't exist - sure that's not the preferred outcome but it's not how we expect even good devs to write code. We explicitly complain about times we're forced to do that in interviews.

I'm investigating giving them access to autocomplete while they're writing code, I need to learn how to write a client for a language server though.
Boy the slope on fast food workers has turned into a cliff I guess. From Nobodies to Heros to Lazy Teens Who Don't Need A Raise to Robots in like 5 years?
What turbulence models do you have implemented? It's been ~ a decade since I played with CFD, wondering if DNS is computationally tractable these days.
Also, in non-English speaking places, there are usually long standing slang words of similar standing, e.g "flic" in French. The evolution of police novels is multi-linglua (Wahloo / Sjowall, Simenon) so reading "cop" in english is not a dead giveaway, though I understand the point having read through the discussion.
Show HN: Mineo.app – Better Python Notebooks
Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce our startup to HN: Mineo.app. Mineo.app is a production-ready SaaS Python notebook that provides a complete environment for building your data applications: Dashboards, Reports, and Data Pipelines based on Python notebooks.

Key features:

* Superpowered jupyter-compatible Python notebooks with extra goodies like: version control, commenting support, custom docker images, etc... enhanced with no code components that allow to create beautiful dashboards and reports.

* Data Pipelines: Ability to schedule and run one or more notebooks.

* Integrated file system to manage your files and projects with detailed permissions and groups.

We have a freemium licensing model, so you can start using Mineo just by registering with your Github/Google/Microsoft account for free without a credit card. And it's free for educational purposes ;-)

Diego.
Thank you; so much is easily lost in written communication, I should be clearer.
As I understand it, JavaScript's JIT isn't quite as performant as binary compiled from a low level language like C. I'm presuming that Codon's performance is closer to that than the performance of JavaScript's JIT, but maybe that isn't correct?
The option you don't mention is to resist the pressure to change laws to fix the situation, but instead to work to fix the situation within the existing laws. That should be the first resort. "We have to do something* is not a recipe for good laws.
no, just a bit of an information technology nerd with a Walden complex.

(They're dead easy to DIY build, feature instant boot and infinite battery lifetime, and therefore work really nicely for ephemeral data. An anachronistic solution for non-ephemeral is to preserve data via phone snapshot ... I maintain scribing and erasing are both far easier via wax than via app, but I have thumbs from the last century; YMMV)
Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad with Subscription Models
There was a fascinating(!) thread here https://twitter.com/ProfColinDavis/status/165555527715073229... with a longer story:

Right-wing "English Constitution Party" were going to demonstrate with rape alarms (https://twitter.com/ProfColinDavis/status/165555531421578035...) and that got 'confused' in the more rabid press as 'eco-zealots' plot' sort of stuff.

The Met decided they needed to be seen to act to remove the "dangerous" rape alarms, but the easiest way to do that was to arrest these poor folks (https://twitter.com/ProfColinDavis/status/165561644937587509...). The police knew they knew were around and had rape alarms because that's their job and the police gave them the alarms.

Anyhoo, the rabid press, the deeply populist government, and the disgraced met police (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-65164489) are quite a mix.
This is bad in multiple ways, as other have said every a 5min check is ludicrous, but the article focuses on losses for the developer in a complete disregard for their users. Some people still have a limited data plan or pay according to usage (people using their mobile phone as a hotspot), in any case, downloading a 250M file without user consent is an abuse.
Same. I set up DNS for an early ISP. This was roughly 1994 - 1995, so I think this was the BIND4 days.
> just died out of the blue

In what way did it die? My wifes 4a stopped reading the sim card, any sim card. Even after a factory reset. Its over two years old and I haven't bothered to try and argue for a replacement yet. She's moved to Samsung Flip as its even smaller (when folded) and not a pixel.

Really disappointing, I've never had the sim card reader just fail like that. I guess its a cheap component thats died.
Yes, the US is at the forefront of individual liberty, it is highly advanced in this respect. And it is likely the reason for its economic prosperity over the decades.

Many of the other countries in the world are collectivist. The recent shift in the Overton Window is a regression towards pre-Enlightenment values.
I sometimes wonder if this would be a net benefit in the long term. My hunch is that after a week or two of people being constantly arrested, and the accompanying collapse of society, there’d be a push to repeal laws that aren’t relevant anymore and revise those that were overly broad.
thanks! That looks really interesting.

> It's that the excuse the UK uses when it breaks international agreements? And I wonder how it works for the ones it hasn't broken (e.g. Good Friday) or stuff like debts.

Any country is free to break whatever treaties they previously signed. There's just usually consequences to doing so, which is why we still have peace in Northern Ireland.

> And things existing "for a good while" is a shitty reason for them to continue existing. The same could be applied to the monarch, or the legal system.

Oh I completely agree. It's just that if you want to re-invent the wheel, you need to be realistic about how much work and disruption will be involved, and the knock-on effects there will be.

I think people underestimate how much expertise and knowledge we have baked into our system based on these long-standing principles, and what we'd lose by throwing them away.
Interesting, thanks.

Why does the syntax suck? "ipset add blackhole 192.168.3.4" is far easier to remember than "nft add element ip filter blackhole { 192.168.3.4 }"
Are there any saas tools which help track cloud/saas usage/charges? Or do most people build something homegrown with cloud monitors, pulling billing data from other saas apps, and making data “observability” bi dashboards.

Ex:
- we used to sync 1MM contacts per month to our crm, but this month it’s 2mm
- I created an rds database for testing something, but forgot to turn it off (imaging a “library checkout” feature, where I get permission to create a resource for X time, then alerts if I don’t delete it)
If declining a meeting is a sackable offence then you should do absolutely everything you can to get yourself fired from that role. Drop a production database to save yourself from a massively toxic workplace.
And… a little async for good measure!

If the user is on a slow connection, the 250 MB update file could take hours to download. Doing the download first hides that slow process from tbe user.
People use "literally" to mean "figuratively", as well. It doesn't help discussion to allow the blurring of distinctions.

In the context of this thread, there seems to be the implication that the new laws the UN is objecting to have something to do with the arrests of protestors. After some digging, I can't find evidence that more than a few people (6) were arrested under that law (which generally seems rather bad)? And these people weren't even all charged? It seems to centre around the claimed possession of devices to lock themselves to things in public. Arresting a handful of people you think are maybe going to chain themselves to infrastructure to disrupt an internationally important event---maybe the government didnt act the best here but this hardly seems indicative of a great threat to human rights or a rise of fascism in the UK. I would personally worry more about airport security.
I'm having a difficult time assessing the radical roots you highlight. They seem far less radical, and more a substantial support of the status quo. Almost as if his extreme green activism was some sort of phase.
This doesn't seem to account for rhythm and rests. I'm not good enough at permutations to get the right answer, buy it is a lot more than that.

The notes C-D#-G-D are a totally different melody with each note varied between 32nd and whole note, with rests between them, and using triplets.

I don't disagree with the point; independent constriction and collision are inevitable. But the math underestimates the space.
Perhaps consider a commercial glycol “beer line chiller”. Unlike your chest freezer, these are designed for 100% duty cycle. Combine one with some sort of a heat exchanger in your water bath and you may have some luck.

Or…just get an ice maker.
Sounds reasonably accurate.

And what is obviously missing from this scenario is anyone in the Google organization that has the slightest care or concern for any customer need. Also strongly correlates with their obvious zero customer support / you-re-on-your-own practices. The entire company is just "what can we foist off on them this week?".
As someone who is anti-monarch I have to admit that this seems like the logical extension of monarchy and exactly what democracy is meant to help with. Can I ask why someone wouldn't be anti-monarch in 2023?

Gallons, inches, Fahrenheit? I was willing to do some quick calculations, but irrational cultural dogma prevents me from looking up the appropriate conversions.

Deep sky astrophotography rely on very long exposure and motorized tripod in order to take into account the Earth rotation. You can probably put your instrument on a balloon (... can you ? telescopes are heavy and voluminous !), but then you'll need to track the position of the balloon so that the instrument can still point in the right direction. Wind is chaotic, so it's probably a nightmare to compensate.
Which is a nice target to have. Makes me want to learn the language.

Modern tech is so obsessed with high-turnover, sale-by-first-impression user growth toy software mindset, that it completely forgot about the idea of creating and optimizing tools for people who use those tools day in, day out.
Hey no offense intended, but this comment seems hypocritical and self-contradictory. Are you claiming?

1. Nobody has a right to judge others.
2. I judge everybody who disagrees with me to be dicks.

Either your own rulebook applies to everyone except you (hypocrisy) or your premise is false (selfcontradction). If you hold that people should not pretend they have the right to think at others, then you should stop doing so yourself. Or is it not the freedom of thinking but the freedom of speech you dislike? Of course because you yourself enjoy your right to judge others (and have done so here) it follows that your premise is false. Thus, everyone has a right to judge others. QED

The opposite claim is less wrong: nobody has a right to be free of judgement from others. To argue otherwise reduces to: I don't like shame, so I deny its validity by blaming others. Being shameless is some kind of behavior disorder predicate, not a virtue! For example here is some random guy in Arkansas who writes about these topics:

"when disturbed characters do perceive that someone is judging them in a negative manner, they easily think that it’s the other person who has the problem."

The social implications topic came up centuries ago in the Federalist v Antifederalist debate. Where IIRC there was a line of reasoning that the new USA didn't need certain organs of power (law enforcement?) because the 'coercive force of shame' within communities was sufficient to self regulate. I haven't read this stuff for decades but as I recall the counter argument went like: yeah maybe for you guys up north but that only works in your homogeneous post-puritan monoculture... down here in the south we have slave revolts to suppress, er property rights to enforce.

On a lighter note, this whole topic reminds me of:"oh you strenuously object?" from A Few Good Men:

That's why these same DoH (and VPN) proponents are not a network security expert.

They should be using a client-side-TLS-signed (and verified) DoT only at their own DNS-forward-blocking border gateway with their wireguarded remote DNS resolver unless multiple DNS views are so desired (such as QubeOS desktops) then it is down the rabbit hole for DNS experts only.

I’m sorry but not even the actors in the promo video in this announcement can sell the idea that video editing on a touch device is a good idea. No professional video editor will use Final Cut on the iPad. It’s horribly ineffcient.

It feels like Apple has no idea what to do with the iPad Pro. The product hasn’t evolved at all since 2018.
You are imagining a world where people live in caves but we still have global shipping routes and large construction projects and nuclear reactors?
And that is clearly defined by writing down the notes. The length and the space between. That is the reason why we have the 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, … notes. On how those notes are connected and so on.
Edit: if you have a personal course, I’m more than willing to give it a shot for free / review it! Just an idea. I can even document my progress. I’d like to start a tech channel on YouTube and even already have branding but just haven’t gone past that yet (it’s been within the last 2 weeks). I think it would be good for both of us.

"We have to do something" is often just the reflection of reality. Whether it leads to good laws is secondary.

By the way, working "to fix the situation within the existing laws" fits the definition of "doing something", too. But complaining that a law is bad and the instead we should have done "something" does not look like a constructive criticism to me.
> If you are mentally capable of doing something then you should be mentally capable of hearing that doing that is wrong - it'd be great if we could all agree that's a good thing, also.

Would you be okay if, for the rest of your life, protesters stood in front of your home and shouted "die for breathing, die for breathing"? Presumably not, right? Although you're mentally capable of breathing, which should mean you're mentally capable of hearing that doing that is wrong?

> Using the term "vulnerable young women" is trying to remove the agency from them, which is despicable.

Can you explain why? I don't see how any agency is removed from them. Pregnancy itself makes women more vulnerable, and someone going through a very hard decision will be impacted even more. Whose agency did I just try to remove?

Or could it be that you're just projecting?
Ooo thank you! I’ve never heard of that one yet! I’ll check it out. Thank you!
In the past if there was an update for software I use I was excited and was curious about all the improvements it would bring. Now when I see some app has an update I have a feeling of dread as I am sure it will be slower, the UI more clumsy and the power features I like will surely be removed.
I think it's interesting how different the reaction would have been to a fun tool like this 15 years ago.

My guess would be, even more "do not want". 15 years ago, "cloud" was not even really a thing, and many were understandably very averse to it when it was introduced. If anything, the megacorps have only convinced us to give up more of our privacy since then.

This is really interesting to me because whenever I see anyone decline a meeting I assume it's because they have too much to do and don't have time to spare. If anything, declining meetings should make your job more secure because everyone will think you're swamped with work.
Thankfully, the OP isn't one of those long New Yorker pieces that go on and on and on. It's a short review of an autobiography of Tony Hsieh that focuses less on business-building details than on the psychological/personal evolution of a young Asian American man -- who, despite his growing success and adulation by the media, found himself deeply unsatisfied and dependent on booze and drugs. The review ends with this tidbit, which I found insightful:

> Hsieh, in the end, was a rich guy who, early in his career, used his Harvard connections and some seed money to buy a series of lotto tickets in the tech boom, and then used his expanding wealth and influence to spread a bunch of marketing, in the form of pseudo-psychology, into the world. He slept with his employees and terrorized his closest friends. His descent into addiction and his untimely death were certainly tragic, but I couldn’t find much to admire about Hsieh in “Wonder Boy,” nor did I understand why I was reading dozens of meticulously reported, almost snuff-film-like pages about his journey into ketamine addiction and mania. None of this means that “Wonder Boy” is a bad or dull book—on the contrary, it should be mandatory reading for anyone who is interested in big tech. But it did not give much of an answer to the question of how and why so much of the press and the public got suckered in by Hsieh’s generation of tech evangelists.

They didn't prevent "disruptions" they prevented peaceful protests (non-disruptive).

I've seen messages online heralding how great it is that everyone loves the king, their evidence being the BBC had no news of any dissent, and there was no evidence of dissent on the ground.

The reality is police arrested people for planning peaceful protests, and the BBC provided their usual biased reporting.

This is not good.
