Probably portability, it's a pretty good low (but not too low) abstraction layer over the systems preferred graphics API. I'm not a graphics programmer but my understanding is it's closer to vulkan or metal in terms of control over the hardware compared to OpenGL, which has rocky support on Mac now anyways.
I've seen a lot of criticism about giving weapons to Ukraine because of a 'current production is only X per month' thought process. It's a flawed premise because production was only supporting the needs of a peacetime force. Production in peacetime is there just to maintain capability and meet export demand. However, it is exceptionally useful to practice scaling up production to ensure that the capability to do so is there. Russia has failed the test so far--whether or not the US and allies pass the test remains to be seen.

The way some people distribute media, you'd have to outright pay me to accept it in some cases.

Conversely, getting movies via eg torrents is extremely convenient, and I don't have to worry about DRM, license retraction, or other forms of loss-of-access. I'm just sad there's there is still no easy way to pay for this kind of service for movies at least (at least not without subsidizing predatory behavior) .

Netflix and Steam sort of head in the right direction, but are (occasionally) still stymied by DRM, spyware, and loss-of-access at times.

GoG.com covers many of the bases, so GoG definitely gets money from me from time to time.
A part of me thinks that many have failed to educate themselves about the realities of life. People are dicks (generally) and if they can step on you to better themselves they will. It's why capitalism works.
It's a shame hyberfil.sys can't be moved, but as I understand it, the reason behind it is that the kernel only has an extremely rudimentary NTFS driver at the point it resumes so I don't think it'll change soon.

That said, with modern SSD prices I think the size it takes up is quite reasonable these days. For a while, when people were running 64GiB SSDs, the situation was a lot worse.
Trains really tend to struggle over open water. Very difficult for them to stay afloat.

> It costs more to convert an office building to housing than it does to tear it down and build new condos in its place, which in turn costs more than just building new condos in a different location.

Except in SF or NYC, there aren't that many desirable "different locations" left. Which is why freeing up the poorly used space in city centers can be a net positive for society rather than keeping to maintain these white elephants.

Yeah, but (1) that’s orders of magnitude less than SDI, and (2) it actually did the thing.
Many industrial processes have a high capital cost. If you build a plant that can make synthetic fuel, you don't want it sitting idle 70% of the time. If the plant is extraordinarily cheap capital-wise, then you are ok to use if for load balancing. But the usual suspects (aluminum smelting, water desalination, production of synfuels) don't qualify. Maybe making hydrogen via electrolysis qualifies, but then you have a storage and transportation problem. Still, I think hydrogen is probably the best use case for cheap but intermittent electricity.

This attitude hurts poorer working class people because it causes high-payed workers to identify themselves with the capitalist class rather than workers.
I tend to agree. Modals are just contextually different things and even if some/most of your users understand that it's extra cognative load that may not be required for what the app or web page is doing.

Such questions as "if I close this modal is that different from using the cancel button?" should not even need to be dealt with by the user.

> The thing no one tells you is that it's brutal on your body. It'll break down after a time.

I hear surprisingly often here on HN that manual labor and working in the trades ruins your body over decades due to over-exertion. But I also read that sitting in a chair staring at a screen for 8-10 hours a day ruins your body over decades due to under-exertion.

So I am left wondering who is right.

Right. They would necessarily have different orbital periods because the size of an orbit is directly proportional to the time it takes to complete one orbit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period#/media/File:Sol...

This is why objects in geostationary orbit can only exist at a particular distance from the earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit
In other words, the stock market went up when governments instituted ZIRP and the enormous multiplier effect of the bailouts kicked in.
Yes that was a first attempt at addressing this, but it's still imperfect and not universally adopted, even though both the US and Canada have required adoption since 2021.

The FCC for example still exempts "small rural phone providers" I believe? Adoption is growing though, but it's hard to say how fast and by who.

It's honestly a cost/benefit thing.. Changing fundamental infrastructure at telcos is super hard and expensive and most will not do it until they are forced to by law.
Nightmare fuel nonetheless. Thank you, HN.
Reminds me of "Behold a Pale Horse" which was suppressed domestically by the CIA, for what reason I have no idea as it is obviously outlandish. The version that was finally published is missing 37 pages from the original, I believe you can find a version with those pages on Library Genesis.
Just think of the kind of boss, and your relationship to them, you might have in that new role, and also the colleagues and customers.

Of course some of that depends on the actual company, even branch, but a surprising amount is endemic, uh, inherent to particular industries.

In my experience a large part of the job experience is 'other people'. The most fulfilling work can be made a hell by a bad boss, and the most mundane tasks elevated by interesting colleagues, etc.

And also, about people you work with; you will become them, in some small (or large) way.

> “human rights”

You’re right that genuine human rights trump property rights but there are no human rights at stake here. It’s not a human right to dispose of someone else’s property to exert control over someone else’s job when there is no threat to life and you can take your labor somewhere else. The situation under contention is far removed from human rights.

This doesn't conclusively demonstrate that; an intercepted missile or drone can still easily go kaboom when the pieces hit the ground. The footage has a building between the explosion and the camera.

First understand what you find about your work that is "uninspiring, pointless, and eroding". The answer may lie in the markets that you work in rather than doing something with your hands. (City-based (finance) products can seem pointless once you realise how and why it all works). You can do sales in an industry that is meaningful to you - like coffee machines.

I work in tech and am currently trying to build stuff that addresses energy efficiency in manufacturing (my small bit to help climate change). I have to go on site in safety boots and a hard hat - looking up at a massive plant that burns dead dinosaurs. It is not pointless, but it is frikkin' hard. It is also a much better use of my abilities and experience in tech to try and optimise their plant with data than dig a ditch or man the food truck outside the factory gates. No offense to those useful skills, but mine are better applied (and more valuable) elsewhere.

No, approximately nobody cares about Alpha. consume exists so that many algorithms can be implemented cheaply on ARM and POWER without requiring an expensive load-load barrier on the consumer side by relying on data dependencies. For example the Linux kernel makes use of data-dependencies to make RCU cheap on these machines.

Still, in practice because of a mixture of being hard to implement[1] and x86 dominating compiler development, most compilers gave up and just implemented consume as an acquire.

[1] to make consume work, compilers need to make sure that data dependencies are propagated everywhere they are needed and this is very hard.

edit: also in-order machines are very much capable of the kind of reordering that require memory barriers. IIRC the lack of data dependency of alpha was a quirk due to its banked cache setup, not because of pipeline reordering. In fact data-dependences is specifically the kind of reordering that an OoO engine can't do.

I thought a primary issue with DE weapons was water vapor?

My grandfather helped design several missile systems and held patents on radar interferometry, he claimed repeatedly that laser systems would never work practically because all the enemy had to do was wait for a rainy or misty day.

He claimed the power requirements for DE skyrocketed to unrealistic levels almost immediately once you had to pierce water vapor.
If it were as simple as “layoffs/cost cutting make stock go up” then CEO’s would have never had hiring surge during Covid. The CEO’s job is always to maximize long term profits.

Is mailing list the recommended way to get help on nginx?

I recently made the mistake/challenge to use nginx as a SSL reverse proxy for a bunch of non SSL services running in docker containers .

To my dismay there is no decent documentation for what I thought would be a common usage case - namely docker for everything including nginx.

* SSL was easy enough - I have a wild card certificate and nginx does have good docs on setting it up

* Docker networking was a bit of pain - but I solved it by making a separate network.

* proxy_pass is where I got really bogged down - I got to rewrite location /api and serve it at the internal network + port.

location /api/ {
rewrite ^/api(.*)$ $1 break;
# proxy_pass http://172.19.0.3; # also works
proxy_pass http://172.19.0.1:9090;
# most likely something else is needed for fix relative paths
}

So now I have the problem that proxy works for mysite/api/index.html but not for any relative paths ie static/css/style.css is not loading (but docker exec -it mycontainer curl does work)

Maybe it is Google's fault but it seems near impossible to find a good AUTHORATIVE reference on setting up reverse proxy server with nginx.

One thing I just hit is that there doesn't seem to be any way to ask from a Pod to get a TLS certificate signed by the cluster itself (that would only be valid inside the cluster, of course) that is valid for the IP(s) and DNS names associated by Kubernetes itself with the pod (and to automatically rotate etc such certs).

Since the infrastructure already knows (and controls) this information, it would be the ideal place to actually generate a signed attestation that a pod is who it says it is.

The law is meant to defuse violent labor struggles, responding to actual events that occured. In particular here, the problem of the owners hiring thugs to violently break up union meetings.
A Student-Loan Payment Pause Led Borrowers to Take on More Debt
Comprehensive doesn't mean effective. Just going by a comment below the article, some of these laws are opt-out and any recourse is held solely by the state. Private citizens have to pro-actively declare their rights and when they're violated, plea to your state AG to do something, which will probably be prioritized right to the bottom of the pile.
Sure, if you want to put in the effort to make it work. Most however don't and then their websites suck in that regard.

I had generous doctoral funding in the humanities with a very light teaching load and left to be a stable-hand, mucking stalls and throwing breakfast and lunchbhay to the horses. (So this kinda sorta counts, since I was still in school, and the labor job was always going to be temporary. Having said that I loved it and still miss it). In the end I worked at the stable for about a year.

It paid almost nothing. I rented a room and was broke. But the work was cathartic and interesting and completely altered my world— or dropped the world I’d known away, leaving this really interesting (again temporary) moment of peace in its place. Status wise, when you do something like
that, you meet new people. There are different ways of comparing status— and of not even caring at all about it.

It took me a while to adjust away from academic thinking, which manifested largely as an extreme lack of confidence if I wasn’t quoting someone else’s argument or surrounded by piles of books.
The stable was a great place to sort some of that and to like regain a sense of self (and people in the world, more broadly than in the university) in a really tangible way.

I wound up doing a bunch of different work over time. A mix seems to me ideal at this point. Ha still trying to figure it out.
I work as a lawyer for a business that has lots of lawyers. Compliance with differing state laws is indeed very expensive. I would personally like to see a federal privacy statute that preempted these various and sometimes inconsistent state and local privacy laws.
Unless you have your own niche (say you are a climate scientist [https://fediscience.org, https://climatejustice.rocks], a radical anarchist [https://kolektiva.social], a union organizer [https://union.place], a train nerd [https://rail.chat], or a bot [https://botsin.space]) and there just so happens to be a server around your niche, or if you are otherwise a member of a small localized community (say you live in Hessen [https://hessen.social] or Iceland [https://lodfill.is]) then it doesn’t really matter which server you choose. By far the majority of the people you interact with are in your follower list, your local server mostly functions for discoverability (unless you are on the smaller more niche servers).

Last year I moved onto a street that had a ton of litter. I lived with it for about a month before I realized how easy it would be to walk a loop and pick it all up. For the first six weeks or so, I would fill two 20L garbage bags and by the next weekend, there would be another 40L of garbage waiting for me. Then something great happened: the amount of litter began decreasing. Soon I only needed to take one bag with me and recently I've been coming home with it only half full. Keeping the street clean has actually led to fewer people littering in the first place. It's a really great feeling to see such an improvement for so little effort and I would encourage anyone who enjoys walking outside to give it a try.
Given that the largest model configurations are only on the order of ~1-2B parameters, I think you could probably run inference on a 3090. Training might be possible too (it's something I plan to try) but will be very slow on most consumer hardware.

> Further - users (and I mean normal paying users, not HN commentators) rarely ever give a shit about URLs.

Tell that to my non-techy spouse and her +1400 bookmarks. You know what her most recent rant was about? That she cannot bookmark certain timetables at a booking platform she uses. Why? Because guess what: The timetable shows in a modal.

> The modal is about not losing the current place for the user.

Resources opening in tabs also don't lose the place of the user. But you know what modals do usually lose the user? The ability to interact with anything but the model while it's open. A usual gem is a form which opens a modal, where I would then really really like to copypaste some info I already entered in another part of the form, but can't, because the effing modal is in the way. So I have to close it, and that usually wipes all the info in it.

> "Dont open a modal" in cases where the user is likely going to get lost in a detour otherwise is bad advice.

If a web design can cause the user to get lost in the first place, then the problem isn't that there is no modal, and adding one will likely not fix it.
You're right that Merkle trees are useful here, but adding proof of work to, e.g. run the code to produce some lfs data (database, NN weights, physical parameters, etc), which is checked by a checksum, could be a fantastic addition for ensuring reproducibility in science.
IPFS could be great for reproducibility if the commit hash was linked directly to the data checksum. Blockchain may not be necessary, but it could be an easier implementation of this feature.
I just found out the gym I go to is closing. The email said it was a lease dispute but there is no way it is just that.

Not yet but this has come up a lot so thinking about it. We probably don't want to build our own human ticketing system so the clearest path would be to have an entrypoint to kick the user over to something like intercom and maybe provide the context of the AI conversation as history in that interface. Not ideal to have two chat interfaces tho :/

Ideally we could be the UI layer for intercom, zendesk, etc. We already do that for docs search / exploration.
> The police can't circumvent legislation by just paying a PI to stalk you instead.

Why would they need to? Stalking you doesn't require a warrant. Breaking into your house, for example, would require a warrant, but a PI can't do that any more legally than the police can.
