I like AWS's approach of having your own personal incidents page. Still not exactly real time but better than an unchanging wall of green. And they include performance degradations as incidents which is nice.

WCH has a bunch of new ones that have come out recently, like the CH32V003 and CH32V307 [1]. I would start there, they are close enough and could probably run micropython since they have some that have reasonable amounts of SRAM.

I think they are mostly looking to replace STM32s though.

"Public Meeting on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (Official NASA Broadcast)"

How does this 2 days old video with 167k views have zero comments, yet comments are enabled? I don't get it. It seems to be legit, unless https://www.youtube.com/@NASAgovVideo/about is a decade-old long con. (It doesn't seem to be, there are plenty of references to it from nasa.gov.)

Maybe someone just enabled comments on the video.
It most certainly doesn't have to be intentionally insecure but it almost definitely is accidentally so. There should be no OS nor network stack running in the firmware, period.
If your unaware of who Terrance Tao is...

The strategy for the very highest levels of maths is; if you get stuck, see if you can interest Terrance in your problem as he probably has an idea of what to do next.
Yes, triple redundancy is nice, but then the problem becomes how to make the code that checks the code also tipple redundant and checked without creating another layer to deal with.

Most software that does this simply tries to make the test code as small and reliable as possible. But it's an interesting challenge to make the test code somehow self checking with the same properties.
Yes, my bad. This is a bit far from my expertise, so I was trying out MirrorThink to understand what was being discussed. This reply seemed constructive so I copied it over, clearly I should have verified it better.
Ask HN: Would you pay for a SaaS even if its open source and can be selfhosted?
I’m building an opensource self hosted app on GitHub and wanted to know if its worth it to setup Stripe and gain some money through cloud offering.

So lets go for a practical example: You find a task manager that does pretty much exactly what you need BUT its also open source and you can self host it, would you still pay around $5 to get the cloud version of the app?

Also SaaS owners what are your thoughts?
> Removing noise is difficult if not impossible.

Completely removing noise is difficult-to-impossible. Attenuating the noise enough to impart a new noise pattern is much easier, though (not saying it's easy, just easier).

I did this sort of thing decades ago as part of larger system used for research.
That's not correct, at least in hospitals and apartment buildings there was pretty good evidence that SARS was airborne, at least over short distances. Yes, I mean actually airborne, not ballistic droplets. I'm not thinking "yeah sure I knew that" in hindsight like people quite often do, this is from research I did in 2018. I wore P100 elastomeric respirators from the start of the pandemic, I didn't question for a second that it was airborne.

another aspect here is that we're not just talking about users. in the areas I frequent in SF the homeless population has dropped a lot in the last year - except for the cooks and the dealers. they aren't giving up their only income stream.

I used to do that when I masked because when I took the mask off, my facial hair would get activated and itchy. So if I weren't at a place where I could wash my hands, I just kept the mask on as it was easier to keep my hands off my face that way.

This is bog-standard mis-reporting of statistics, and I would encourage you to download and read the original homeless census report.

A person who had home in SF for 1 month and then lived unhoused in SF for 10 years is counted among those "long term" SF residents who became homeless. They're not really from SF, even if they technically become homeless while living in SF.

I've attained extensive experience in a variety of standards bodies, community software projects and leadership positions, and I'm keen to take on roles related to strategy and leadership in FOSS and Open Standards, for instance as part of a Open Source Program Office (OSPO). As for technologies, I'm something of a programming polyglot, regularly using everything from C and Go to Clojure and Lisp. I primarily specialise in Functional Programming and secure, reproducible software package supply chains. Also available for consulting/contracts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36170253. Always happy to chat about opportunities and to answer any questions!
Indeed, I worked with a guy who had a Ford 300 I6 in his Unimog. He had it running on Megasquirt, but it was so fiddly that he ended up going back to carb.
The idea that "we'll just seamlessly failover to another provider" is a bit otpimistic IMO. With that comes additional complexity. Some applications need this, but it's a huge cost and complexity tradeoff for almost all businesses.

I'm a fan of sticking with one provider, but going with something bigger that has a good track record. AWS, GCP, Azure aren't prone to 0 outages, but I think for almost all companies, having redundant stacks in separate regions is enough to maintain high availability.

I don't know enough about Oracle Cloud to comment on them, but my general take is these companies all inevitably hit a "showstopper" global outage, realize they aren't investing enough in separation of regional stacks enough, and put a ton of energy into making their platforms more fault tolerant.

Thinking that Johnny dev shop is going to be able to do better than a major player is, IMO, wishful thinking.

I know that at GCP at least, they actually have monitoring setup for things like tweets, downdetector, etc. Ideally they catch every issue with their own monitoring, but they do their best to know if anyone is having an issue, whether they can detect it or not..
I think the fallacy you're making is assuming all homeless have the same problems. There are definitely some homeless or near-homeless people where having a safe place to sleep, shower, and store their belongings will allow them to hold a job long enough to get back on their feet. There are others that need serious rehab. There are others that need mental health counseling. There are others that will never be able to care for themselves and need to be put in a care home.

So really there is no one-size-fits all solution. Individual treatment is needed, and early intervention always has the best outcomes.

Obviously there's going to be some abuse of this system (by the homeless), but overall I think this is really cool, and I fail to see how this makes bank for any of the orchestraters involved.

Cities that deal with high levels of homelessness are usually places that are deemed unaffordable anyways by the common American. Also if the place is warm, has easy access to drugs, and generous help with minimal requirements of the beneficiary to receive that aid. I awknowledge there will always be individuals who would rather have awful living standards than assume any responsibilities, but for those people who actually want to forge a better life for themselves, who fell through the cracks and are homeless perhaps to poor decisions but otherwise want to stand back up, this is awesome.

The article you labelled "SF -> ??" Specifically said it was tranporting them to family or friends who know that person, ie. someone who would have individual concern for them to get them back on their feet.

> “We consider a person being removed from the street and reunited with a stable, loving family as the best possible outcome,” Hussey said. “This is not shifting the homeless problem to other cities. This is a person being removed from the street and being helped by the people who love them the most — their families.”

"NV -> CA" ironically goes against your statement, because the article is saying that Nevada stopped sending people to SF. Also they were trying to replicate what SF was doing, sending them to families, but in the worst possible way that was guaranteed to fail, because they sent them to a location without contacting any family or even seeing if any lived where they were putting them.

> Homeless patients are no longer bused to other areas and state officials want to move forward

"NY -> Hawaii" is similar to the "SF -> ??" one because despite the title, they were sending them nationwide, not just Hawaii. Their approach was the most easily abused, because they paid for a year's worth of livelihood. However, for people who have real intentions to improve their lives, this provides great hope in that dream because they get a fresh start, and in a place that is not impossibly expensive to live in and guaranteeing future impoverishment.

Regarding "WY -> UT", SLC, where they are being taken to in UT, is one of the few places where they focus on rehab rather than perpetual homelessness, and basically all homelessness programs are focused on addiction recovery, and acquisition of a job. It is illegal to beg there, or to give money to homeless, because the only possible way to be homeless there is by refusing rehabilitation. I have no proof of these comments of SLC, as this perspective is based on what I've heard from others, so it could be wrong, but I've heard nothing to the contrary. So I am again optimistic for this approach from Wyoming, although I think it'd be better if they just adopted the same system instead of overloading another states rehabs.

The last article you posted has no relevancy to the topic, as it discusses migrants and the border issue, not homelessness, so I will skip it.
It's not limited to the far right. It's the far-{insert group here} (left, socialist, capitalist, activist, whatever). It's the extremist mindset that has all that. As the centrist meme says, "I just want to grill."
A year ago, there was a study about Denver spending anywhere from 42K to 102K per homeless individual. If I remember correctly, that was only a partial amount because they couldn't get all of the financial information. I think we all need to ask how much of this money actually reaches the intended population and how much is administrative overhead. It never pays to fix a problem. If the issue is an impossible scenario, the cash spigot is always running.
It is escaped server side. Anything long enough to be a useful payload is trimmed.
How does one here manage container deployments to AWS?

I have been using AWS Copilot CLI, and it's awesome! They've just made it to so easy deploy and maintain applications online. To think of it, it's quite a complex orchestration, and yet it feels like child's play.
Fun fact, for a charity event Introversion released the source code for a collection of their old games. But they are also the opposite of big corporate.
I am not saying I am right, but my theory is:

If you are able to deliver a better result than "Person X" who is paid more than you, and if you get a chance to deliver that result, won't you demand to be paid more than the "Person X"?

And for the company who is paying, who already seems to agree to pay that much for "Person X"'s result - would likely to be happy to pay you the same or more since you are delivering more

Where am I wrong? Isn't this just capitalism? Help me understand :)

If you voluntarily say I need only half the pay of "Person X" aren't you basically being charitable or just sacrificing what you could potentially get? I am not saying that doing this is wrong (probably morally right) but this is probably rare.
But as an OpenCL programmer, you don't distribute PTX intermediate code. You distribute OpenCL kernels around and recompile every time. That's more or less the practice.

I'm writing this from my car as I wait to have my state safety inspection done. My car has a traction control system which is enabled. Just pushed the TCS button. It was enabled and now it is disabled. Just pushed the button again. It was disabled and now it is enabled. I can switch freely between each state and in neither case does the description of the state require quotes around it.
It depends on where they are pointed.
Capital gains taxes are not treated preferentially, or at least the lower rate does not reflect that, this is a common misunderstanding. Ideally, you want the tax rates on all sources of income to be roughly the same net of risk and inflation so that you don't bias investors into any particular type of activity when chasing rates of return.

For wage income, inflation losses are negligible in most countries. Similar for short-term capital gains, which is why those are commonly taxed at wage income rates. Unlike wage income, capital has substantial risk (i.e. you can't deduct most losses). For long-term capital gains, the drag of inflation becomes a large percentage of the total nominal return. If you taxed long-term capital at the same rate as income, no one would make long-term high-risk investments because the expected rate of return on investment, net of taxes, would be lower than short-term rent-seeking type investments!

If you want people in your country to invest in high-risk tech ventures at least as much as e.g. buying rental apartments, you have to make the expected investment returns net of taxes, inflation, and risk to be similar.

You could make capital gains the same as income tax if inflation and risk was deductible against income. In practice, this would create enormous headaches for governments (massive increase in revenue volatility), so instead they tax it at a lower rate that loosely approximates what the tax rate might look like on average if you were allowed to deduct inflation and risk.
I’ll bite: Anyone doing fun stuff on the personal-music-collection front with these datasets?

I’m a big fan of Picard (via beets), and the ListenBrainz dataset seems like a fun resource for finding new music… but despite being intrigued by the rest of the datasets, I have no clue what I’d ever do with them from a practical standpoint.
It is multi causal.

Part of it is the routine stuff around activist-abolitionist DAs, lack of housing, NIMBY-ism, weather, decriminalization of drugs, etc. The review Shellenberger's comprehensive book on west-coast homelessness is nice level-headed take [3]

But one major cause is the rise of potent p2p meth & fentanyl in the populace. [1][2]

So not only are the homeless un-shelter-able (shelters require residents to be clean), but the nature of drugs lead to irreversible mental health issues and irreversible (ie. chronic) homelessness.

To the extent it wasn't intentional to allow it, you would think it would have been easily rectified as soon as it started being exploited, if not for corruption. Imagine if you went to the gas station and said you wanted to buy specifically the second, fourth, and sixth gallons out of the pump, and the first, third, and fifth would "coincidentally" need to go into your tank too, but you shouldn't have to pay for them. They would tell you to F off out of there because that's stupid. Yet apparently the federal government was happy to sell the land in this pattern. This is a problem even Ticketmaster solved trivially simply by not allowing you to orphan one seat in the middle.

Also, while AMD's OpenCL implementation has more features on paper, the runtime is frequently broken where NVIDIA's claimed features actually all work. Everything I've heard from people who've used it is that they ended up with so much vendor-specific code to patch around AMD's bugs and deficiencies that they might as well have just written CUDA in the first place.

This is an old article but the old "vendor B" stuff still rings incredibly true with at least AMD's OpenCL stack as well.

https://richg42.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-truth-on-opengl-dri...

Thus NVIDIA actually has even less of a lock-in than people think. If you want to write a better OneAPI ecosystem and run it on OpenCL runtime... go hog wild! NVIDIA is best at that too! You just don't get the benefit of NVIDIA's engineers writing libraries for you.
It’s a bit indirect. The private land is worth a lot more if they can connect contiguous lots, expressly or implicitly.

It would cause a huge uproar if the fed sold the land, but this allows them to defacto ‘capture’ it as long as no one asserts the right laws.

By stopped the public from
accessing the intervening public land, it defacto gives them ‘ownership’ (as in they can do what they want with it) on the federal public land, but without having to pay for it, pay taxes on it, etc.

These rural areas are typically pretty poor, and the private land owners usually have no issues influencing county and state level politics. The county this is happening in (Carbon County) has a hair under 15k people in it, and a median income of $62k. Wyoming overall has a population of $
570k and most of them live in 1-2 cities.

Dropping $1m in Washington DC will barely make a dent lobbying wise. Spreading the same over the Wyoming and Carbon County gov’t would be… quite powerful.
Not every lazy reporting is hiding a large conspiracy. Sometimes it is just the lazy picking of the most likely cause to get cotent out.
This is about $147,000 per homeless person (assuming recent number of 115,000 of them in the state).

> Conservatives are going to be against giving out living space

To play the devil's advocate to my sibling commentators: if you equate "conservative" politics and NIMBY politics, this claim could certainly hold some substance. (The argument: NIMBY = conservative in the sense that they oppose change.)

Also, just off the cuff I'm going to bet the overhead/fraud rate is more
like 50% than 10%. Basis: think of the overhead regular companies budget, about 30% of salary.
