Plenty more will come in short order, the past couple of years have been a real mess on supply chains - it's been hard on all of us.
"Ask HN: Sites with the quality of Hacker News, but for more general topics?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34302827) lists a couple. There's regular "what is the HN of <insert industry>" Ask HN questions, somebody would make a list.
The declaration is only a few paragraphs long and most of it is filler. The meat of the plan is let covid rip through the population, anything else misrepresents the goal of herd immunity. You can't build up natural immunity without transmission.

The biggest flaw with this plan was that you can get infected with the now large family of viruses grouped into "covid" more than once. People don't actually build up as much immunity as the declaration presumes. The second biggest flaw was that there is zero chance you could protect only the high-risk populations.

In the US the plan ended up being basically this but s/virus/vaccine/ because the vaccine gave stronger guarantees on avoiding transmission to high-risk groups but then that got weirdly political for some reason. If it was smallpox I bet those same people would have been breaking down the door for an "experimental" vaccine.
You seem to get my argument. It is about helping your child develop good "Work Ethics" which unfortunately these days is equated to being exploited if you dare to bring it up.
Specifically on Metcalfe's law, consider that just like with the internet, e-mail, the phone grid, and p2p protocols, it is possible to have a common network without centralized control.
Is there any other interesting content on IPFS? Does HN have any favorite links?
Wow I was literally reading the docs last night and didn’t notice operator[]! Good to know
"Those Pis are not coming back."

Yes, they are.

lol oh the good old days. The funniest part is, it would take screenshots of desktop periodically, but I would know when it's happening due to micro lag in mouse movement as it happened. It was so hilarious. I didn't give a crap because I worked hard anyway. Ended up staying at the place for 17 years.
I always thought it would be fun to host a Rube Goldberg competition for systems engineering. Whoever could accomplish a simple task with the most ridiculous system would win.

Something like: read the 54th line of this file hosted at xx address.

Then a submission could look like:

1. FTP a file to a server with the address.
2. the server reads the file and spins up a VM.
3. The VM polls an endpoint to download code to pull the address.
4. The code downloads the file and splits it into a single file per line.
5. A script loads all the files into an array and accesses array[53] to get the answer.

...you get the idea
I agree. I worked at a company that has this endpoint monitoring software and occasionally got emails saying "was it you that ran this command". I just said "yes" and they were like "ok carry on".

I'm not sure how much value there is in that kind of monitoring, but it isn't necessarily bad.
Maybe your loved ones don't want anything to do with funerals though.
Aren’t roads built in a similar way, just with a different surface?
It is incredibly easy to automate giving every citizen an unconditional electronic deposit. The inefficiency and overhead of social programs comes from individual assessments to figure out who to exclude.
Users don't care about the moderators. Users care about the content.

Most people hate the mods. "Mods are gay" is a common refrain on reddit. The mods are the killjoys that removed your post that didn't conform to their hyper specific subreddit rules, or locked a fun post before you got there.

Mods aren't leaders, they're hall monitors.
Due to NDAs I signed, I cannot explain much how it works but if someone installed such software onto their personal device then zero privacy is pretty much expected. A person well-versed in IT admin can block and limit the external access to the device, but the corporation or university will know and flags you for non-compliance.
If the work is not getting done, spying on people isn’t going to improve things. If you want people to work, you have to properly motivate them. That means fair wages and non-toxic management.
And then the mods can program auto moderator just remove every new post or comment.

And then reddit can remove the mods, but then who will run the community events, common threads, and do the actual moderation that many of the subreddits use heavily?
My premium went up 50% last year due to rising risk and I'm not in a fire or flood zone or high crime area... On my end at least I don't see Sacramento limiting premiums.
Do you pay same salaries to US / PK engineers?
IIRC exposure to the common cold helped with COVID immunity. Something like 15% of colds are caused by various forms of Coronavirus (forms of Rhinovirus cause the majority) so this makes some level of sense.
Yes. But.
There are certain types of speech that are not protected.
For example. You don’t have the right to incite violence.

And here’s a curious thing. People think that just because they have the right to free speech they can spout lies. It turns out that lies can be variously costly. “Speech is free, but the lies will cost you Mr. Jones”

And then there’s another question. What’s the difference between speaking and publishing? Does a publisher have a duty of care to ensure that the things they publish are factually correct? Probably.

So to recap, perhaps the freedom of speech is complex and nuanced.
If anyone is going to have the incentive to poke at this claim, it's going to be someone like him. I don't have any hope that there are unbiased players here, so I'm glad someone's trying to poke holes in arguments coming from the other side.
IMO the powermods are one of the main problems of reddit.

Kubernetes needs an OCI runtime to run containers with. Crun is one implementation it can use.

Docker also appears to be able to use crun for it's engine as well. https://github.com/containers/crun/issues/37
Take a car, the engine is the OCI runtime, crun, containerd, etc.. The whole car is Docker, or Podman. Kubernetes is the city where the cars run.

---

EDIT: For more details, OCI (Open Container Initiative) defines a few things:

- an image format (how to create them)
- a runtime specification (how to run them)
- ...

A container runtime is an implementation of one of those things.

Docker is a set of tools hidden under a unified CLI which gives you the ability to:

- create images
- upload/download images to/from a registry
- run images with volumes, networking configuration, environment variables, ...

But Docker is only one host.

Kubernetes is an interface to abstract a cluster of hosts. Everything is described as a "resource" which goes through the "control loop":

1. the user uses the k8s REST API to create/read/update/delete the resource
2. the k8s api server will contact admission controllers (via webhook) to authorize (and/or mutate) the action
3. the action is persisted to a distributed database (usually, etcd)
4. then, controllers are notified of the change and will run the side effects

This is the simplified version. But what is stored in the distributed database is called the "desired" state, and controllers have the duty of observing the real state (the "observed" state) and make it converge towards the "desired" state.

So a "Pod" controller's job will be to observe Docker instances, to check what containers are running, and start/stop the containers based on what "Pod" resources exists in k8s's database.

A "Deployment" controller's job will be to observe the "Pod" resources in the k8s database and create/update/delete them based on what "Deployment" resources exists in k8s's database.

etc...

In theory, Kubernetes does not need docker. You could have a "proxmox" controller which would start/stop virtual machines instead.

Kubernetes provides a lot of tooling for storage management, secret management, networking, workload management, etc... so that you can manage it all with a unified REST API.

The very nature of the "control loop" makes it very extensible, allowing you to build layers of abstraction on top of layers of abstraction on top of layers of abstraction ... A real "onion cloud" if I dare say it.
they are scared that reddit might remove them. mods seem to be a special category with pathological attachment to free labour that they see as their own instrument of power.
The government would use tax payer money for it.
“ If the former is true, the moderators aren't really "replaceable" in that way. You can fire them, but the output of your product will suffer as a result”

Sure - the cost would be higher, but is that cost actually higher than allowing insurgent moderators to retain control over very prominent subreddits and, presumably, shut them down? Doubtful. There’s no way Reddit would allow moderators to “take down” Reddit.
I am not advocating for Child Labor. Putting a 15 year old in a Meat Packing plant working night shifts is wrong. I would never advocate for that. But I wanted to highlight that we have gone in the other direction too much as a culture where kids are over protected and we no longer teach them work ethics at an early age and that creates problems when many of them get out there in the real world after 18. I have seen many in my own friends/family and I refuse to let my kids go through the same.
This is intentional, as I think OpenAI is scared of legal blowback.

Cutting edge AI models and datasets have largely been "for testing" and "for research" ever since they existed. Usage rights were extremely low on the researchers' list of concerns.

But all of the sudden OpenAI and such are trying to commercialize models that (unlike a classifier or whatever) are very capable of stepping on rightholders’ toes...

Hence I suspect all the talk of trade secrets is just a front.
Yeah I think the only way you can get an alternative to a major social network site off the ground without it turning noxious in the process is if you can mobilize a sizable existing somewhat-grounded community to bootstrap it with to set the norms. This is hard to pull off though… even if you get a crowd that large through the door you've still got the uphill battle of attrition ahead of you.
Middlemen. Our economy has become increasingly more parasitic in all spheres.
>These moderators could, if they organised together, kill the site in a matter of days.

That's not quite true. Reddit has the power in this relationship. See for example what happened when /r/NoahGetTheBoat tried to rebel

https://old.reddit.com/r/NoahGetTheBoat/comments/13c9fx4/rem...

For all those reporting this, it isn’t coming down. If it makes you uncomfortable and you’re in the US, this is part of US “gun culture.” Work to change it.

Edit: Good lord people, yes I can see that the post was removed by Reddit. We can’t influence Reddit admin actions, but we’ve reached out for clarification on the removal.

Edit2: Reddit has clarified the removal, and it will not be rescinded. Not much else to see here.
That which explains everything explains nothing. Literally everything affects you in the sense implied here, so "it affects me" is quite plainly insufficient justification for intervention. Everything affects you in some sense.
It can never work, it just never has and smarter people than us have tried.

Democracy will be captured and corrupted like it already has, by an oligarchic elite. It happened to the Greeks, it happened to the Romans and it's happened to us.

And now we have such hypnotic tools like mass/social media that mass delusion can be instilled at the drop of a proverbial hat. And no, Science wont save you as it can be bought too. Even tobacco and sugar companies were able to deny the obvious by purchasing a few scientists of fortune.
Ranch owner in corner crossing case drops suit
That would force all power adapters to support a fixed maximum current, which in many cases would mean either wasted materials (consider e.g. shipping a 100W adapter with a smartphone) or unsafe conditions (with a device attempting to pull 5A from an adapter supporting only much less than that).

I'm really happy with being able to plug my laptop into my tiny 5V, 2A power adapter and slowly charging it, yet being able to fast-charge it at home at 100W using the same cable on a larger power adapter.
Used RTX cards (of any spec) are super expensive here in Australia still.
There's a bunch of nice chips with onboard ram now. This is yet another one with 64MB.

Ideally I'd love to have at least 512MB of ram. I realize that's overkill for a lot of applications, but it'd give me confidence it can run a reasonably competent Linux userland.
The average expenditure on food and staples of a Norwegian household is according to national statistics €235/month/person (not including dining out); based on the general cost difference between Norway and Sweden, this should translate into €210/month/person.

It would be the highpoint of immature unprofessionalism to reveal company strategy or policy in interview questions.

I ask a coding interview question where I tell my candidates "Assume you have to do everything in memory; there is no database - you just receive events; everything is in one host, or multi-tier architecture." That's because it's a test of their ability to reason about data structures, and implement a short (20-30 minute) algorithm.

In real life, there is no way the "feature" I ask them to implement would be done in memory, and the data would naturally be in a database. It's not a architectural design question (i have others for that), it's a coding question.

I should hope nobody comes out of it thinking "wow, the engineers at this company are under pressure not to use databases, or have durable L2 caches"

I suspect you are reading into the constraints of an interview question, and the effects on the consumer was just not relevant to the technical concepts they were trying to evaluate.
What exactly is important about it?
And now that I think about it, other than negative lifetimes, where variables reappear in code after a defined time because you might need them again, I propsoe the hidden segments feature -- with this feature, you can write code, and hide the block (something like an invisible #define) so when your coworker comes along and tries to "help" by changing your code that you told them SHOULD NOT be changed because it actually works now, when you run the code with the --no-manager flag, the code compiles the way YOU want it.
"anything stored in that pointer to memory you got back from malloc() is stored in an area of ram called "the heap", which is moderately slower to access than it is to access the stack."
Is this true, or a myth? Ignoring the allocation cost and access patterns making cache misses more likely, surely memory is just memory
Very well put, thanks for laying it out so clearly.
As a counter point to this we, Pimoroni, supported a few smaller businesses that relied on Raspberry Pi during the shortages with modest numbers in direct coordination with Raspberry Pi.

These were not "the largest companies" by any metric. They were often orders of just tens or hundreds of units. It was absolutely about trying to keep commercial users who had locked into the Pi ecosystem viable during the supply chain disruption.
I dunno, 404 where the worst was 455 doesn't seem great either. I'd be curious what the "age-adjusted death rates" look like (whatever the unit of such a metric might be?)
I'm not an ops guy, but my understanding was that stdout was for ordinary program output and stderr was for logs, which in a modern application should be structured , including a level/severity field.

Walmart refuses to use AWS, for what it is worth. And no, I don't think there is a functional difference between what AWS does and what is described above.
See, that's where I disagree where a tough boss is considered "toxic" nowadays.
Hopefully he can go somewhere where he can keep doing good public work, and not have to disappear into the void.
Whenever there is a lot of dust, you should wear a mask. One good thing the pandemic taught us: how to use masks. And now the n95/ffp2 are cheap again.
Fact checking is important but a lot of use cases don't need fact checking; imagine LLM as an assistant to write fiction or poetry, or imagine even some kind of a rubber-duck debugging partner or brainstorming partner where the user supplies all pertinent facts.

I don't see LLMs replacing traditional Search, but they still have plenty of other use cases.
There are also cancers where the root cause is not a cell suddenly stopped functioning properly out of nowhere but instead the rootcause is a virus/chemical (that may or may not still be present in the body/cells).
Ah, so I made two mistakes that I guess ended up being right.

Pleroma is a fork of Mastodon, it's not the site I was thinking of though. I was thinking of Parler, which has nothing to do with Mastodon.

Truth Social, on the other hand, definitely tried to use Mastodon code. It was pretty funny drama when they had to release some of their code under the GPL.

Maybe regulate very good air quality and/or air purifiers in daycare and school buildings. Something along the lines, CO2 not allowed to go over 800 ppm, and at least 6 air changes per hour for every room.

> The main hurdle to overcome is finding the politicians you'd need to take power from property owners to give to non-owner residents

The opposite is true. We need to overturn Euclid and similar rulings that took rights away from individual property owners. Property owners should be allowed to build housing on their own land. There is no legitimate public interest in preventing it (beyond banal, ordinary preferences that are better expressed in a market) and an immense public interest in allowing it.

You get rid of the veto point by restoring property rights, not by further limiting them.
Very often, yes. But if their boss harassed them (or say tried to force RTO), they could quit and not worry about ending up on the street.
I am not a scientist, but there are technologies like taking a specific mRNA or protein and making the immune system primed against it for a specific HLA. This makes it possible peptide and mRNA vaccines personalized for a person (you can choose a protein/mRNA specific to the cancer this person has and for her HLA type.

This looks as enough close to personalized therapy for me. There are prediction tools available online.

I even coded my own peptide prediction tool a few years ago:

We had our elementary school kid wear a KN95 mask in school this year, except during meals of course, and he got sick only once or twice whereas all of his friends in class were sick every few weeks and having to miss school and miss sports. Wearing a mask is easy and works, and I never understood the fuss.
Oh man, back in my university it was the teachers themselves who provided the pirated materials. In Humanities it was the full scanned books, in STEM at least they always scanned at least the exercises so it wouldn't be necessary to get the specific edition.
I guess the Q that bothers me the most is who has access to my activity, when it was accessed and why.
No it's not like that at all. It leaves whenever you want.

I still haven’t gotten Covid yet, but if/when I do get it, it will surely come through one of my four kids in public schools.
A social networking site is not an online community. As I said, you select whom you follow. Basically you chose your own "community" out of a countless number of possible communities. There is no need for censorship, since you chose yourself whom to follow.

You know with the non-ratification of the CTBT treaty, along with a casual reading into Project Plowshare and the other nuclear test treaties leads me to believe the undertaking of non-military civilian operations utilizing nuclear detonation is still technically legal internationally. And as the detonation of conventional pyrotechnics is legal to be used in the civilian sphere for spectacle and celebration, there is also absolutely nothing legally preventing a nation from incorporating a megaton warhead, into a fireworks display.
