Looks like they use FireHydrant (https://firehydrant.com/) for their status page. But if FireHydrant is having issues, they'd need Stack Overflow. It's a terrible coincidence.
I worked at Amazon for over five years, both in AWS tech support, and as a systems engineer and SRE (well, their version of SRE). I hate the company. I actively attempt to sabotage their recruiting efforts -- I respond to people on LinkedIn telling them to take any other job offer if at all possible. I've cancelled my Prime account, and I don't order from them unless I can't get a product elsewhere. About the only Amazon product I actively and intentionally use anymore is Audible.

Seriously, fuck Amazon.

But Amazon is pretty committed to customer privacy, and in many cases it is genuinely impossible for them to obtain access to data. Obviously, I can't provide technical details here, so you'll have to to just trust me -- but I promise you, there's a good chance they're being honest about not having access to this data without a request to the customer.

I think this deserves an extra callout because even your multi-threaded Python programs are effectively single threaded and benefiting from the performance gain.
This has been happening a couple of times a month to my elderly father for years, minus the AI. My father has always insisted that "it sounds just like him."

The AI seems like a pointless novelty in this use case, like it was suggested by some middle manager saying "let's see what we can do with AI here. We don't want to get left behind!"
Schedule 1 also requires that there is no medical use for the drug, which IIRC ethanol is an effective treatment for someone who has consumed methanol.
Yeah, literally everyone is doing it. I know HN doesn't love the "What aboutism" arguments, but everyone is doing it, so I tend to look askance at articles clutching their pearls about how some particular group is doing it, because I positively guarantee you "their" side is doing it too.... because everyone is doing it.

Me, I'd like "everyone" to stop, but that's not really on the table. All a legal ban would be is a privileging of the party in power at the moment, as they would be the enforcers and they would not enforce it against themselves.
Given normalized vectors, it's also proportional to the square of the Euclidian distance. Meaning for ranking (and thus k-nearest-neighbors) it doesn't matter if you use Euclidian distance or cosine similarity, you get the same result.
This thread involves both politics and Musk/Tesla, a cross-section of categories that often invites low-quality comments. It need only add cryptocurrency to achieve the trifecta.
I got to speak with Yuliia Tkachova two months ago (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-human-right-to-pri...) and what Masthead is building is technically different and powerful: metadata logs at the center of the architecture for operational analysis of BigQuery workloads, without ever accessing data. Pretty cool.
Was assembly a "slow erosion of our responsibilities" compared to coding in octal?

Was a compiled language a "slow erosion of our responsibilities" compared to writing assembler?

Was writing in a garbage-collected language a "slow erosion of our responsibilities" compared to manual memory management?

The better tools let us do more, faster. They let us waste less time on the trivial, and spend more time on figuring out how to actually build what we were trying to build. They didn't reduce the need for programmers - far from it.

GPT will probably be the same. It's a force multiplier. You can write more in less time. That will make people want software that they couldn't dream of before, because it was too expensive to build. Net programmer employment will probably go up, not down.
Not to mention that the concept of a free market stands in contradiction with the heavy Republican appetite for social restrictions.
There used to be a very few number of car companies who held a lot of power over dealerships and used to abuse that power, which led to laws protecting dealers in ways that at least arguably made sense at the time, but don't anymore.

A unpopular view but… This is why overruling Lochner may not have been so great. We used to have “right to contract” and so the state couldn’t forbid me from purchasing an item that the seller wanted to sell me. But now it’s more like you get to participate in the economy only in the way that the legislature decides is acceptable.

> Renewables + storage can provide "synthetic baseload" at a cost that will likely be lower than nuclear in most places,

Try actually calculating this. Last I did I got around $100 billion per year needed for storage+renewable for the UK, which was triple the wholesale electricity annual revenue.

Got the numbers for hydrogen (energy conversion loss, storage costs per kwh, drain, cycle numbers, costs per kw)? The 2019 US department of energy storage costs paper I used didn't include it and I suspect this was because the numbers are atrocious. Compressed air storage seems like the best for day+ energy storage with batteries for hourly storage.

And it was always pretty minimal benefit. Depended on the exact same version of the library being cached from the same CDN... in the days of jquery hegemony, maybe jquery cache hits could be a thing, but even that was probably minimal. These days JS usage is much more diverse.

It was like an idea people had that this would be a cache benefit, but just theory not actually from real-world observation. I recall several people trying to do investigations to determine how often cache hits would happen in these cases, and finding it wasn't that often after all in real-world use. But I can't find em now, google is crowded out by people talking about what you link to above!

That happens to every server exposed to the internet.

Unless there is a targeted ddos event its usually on the level of a query or two per second AT MOST or so.

Its something most people don't worry about because theres no way around it.

If you need ddos protection you put the server behind cloudflare or something like it.

Its totally fine to raw dog the internet without a firewall in my opinion if the server only has a single web server that you keep updated and sanitize your inputs.

Running other services on the same server without a firewall becomes horrible though youre right. lol
Your microwave oven is around the same spectrum(2.45GHz). Doesn't mean that it will be able to transmit WiFi or Bluetooth, but it might interfere with both.
Good for you? What if we had a free market approach where both options are available and we can see what happens? How is more competition not a good thing?
I agree. ChatGPT is a really good first place to start with a technical question, so long as the tech is mature enough. I’ve even given the LLM updated docs for a library that had changed since it had run its learning, and it was able to update the example to work with the new api based on the docs.
It’s not pedantry. Just because an inner product induced a metric space does it make it the same thing as that metric. The performance of similarity searches can depend very much on whether you use a dot product or a distance.

Home delivery apps do that. Although I am not sure if "pound "is a unit for weight or currency in this case.

If it's currency - in the UK, there are mandatory loss limits (esp. for new accounts). If weight thousand[s] of pounds is unrealistic gain to anyone.

> My cars have had no trouble getting service at independent mechanics.

Have you ever worked at an indy? We rely heavily on dealerships for anything from borrowing specialty tooling, local parts departments, knowledge and advise etc.

> The organization that sold you the car is responsible for the fixes, or refunding the vehicle if it can't be fixed.

Totally.

I think it's six of one half a dozen of the other. Car manufacturers generally coalesce around the efficiency of having new sales, parts departments, repair departments all in one building in many localities spread all over the place.
Workers can use VR at home, company spends zero on office space. Worker doesn't have to spend on a car, gas and saves 2 hours commute time. Toxins are not spewed on the way to work. Win-win all around.
And yet nearly everything else you buy doesn’t require a dealer. Even in the rare opportunity of buying a new construction house you can buy from the developer (though with the possibility of being forced through a particular title agency).

Any time I need to go through a dealer for a product (unique appliances or equipment), I know I’m about to pay more than I should.
I think this depends on media sources. If one consumes media that exists to let people doomscroll capitalism (or their narrow, worst case view of capitalism) then that is indeed what they will hear about. If they read the Financial Times and local business news they probably have a much more balanced viewpoint.
Right but the point is it doesn't let you make assumptions that tests aren't needed, just that you expect them to be likely to pass. The design still has to be tested as though its a new system, it's just the re-use hopefully saved some development time and the testing hopefully finds fewer issues.
I think it’s more like truck drivers panicking in 1995 they will soon be obsolete after having seen the first self-driving demo.

Truck drivers will get automated away eventually, but not today and not next year. Self-driving systems get better every year. It’s been 30 years. We’re getting close but we’re still not there yet.

I expect the LLM revolution to be somewhat similar. The models will get better but they won’t have the kind of superintelligence that makes meat humans obsolete. Someday, perhaps. But GPT 5 will be an incremental improvement, and GPT 6 moreso.

> I thought that `?` only unwrapped `Option` and `Result` and was not overloadable.

This is still true, although the experimental Try trait in nightly does provide this. `From` is applied to the Error of the returned Result, ie. Result<T, String> => Result<T, MyError>.
The ads might influence which fossil fuel supplier people will pick, but in the end they have to pick someone, because we can't even get food without burning fossil fuels somewhere.

I reply here because I can't under your message.

We train children for ~12 years before they become independent as a being, this is ~50,000 hours of training.
The Rust doc is leaving things out, though whether it’s important is a complicated question.

`?` works off off the Try trait (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Try.html), which is unstable so you can’t currently implement it in userland (except on nightly), and it is implemented on more than Option and Result, specifically ControlFlow (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/enum.ControlFlow.html).

So whether it’s important to mention depends mostly on how important you think try_fold and try_for_each are, and if you think you’ll miss the information if ever you need those given that’s clearly mentioned in the ControlFlow docs.

sed -i 's/I’m not smart enough/I have not made the effort/g' {url-in-a-file}

(Pardon my syntax, might not be 100% correct here)

Devs work in a performance business, and most of the time "smart" can be replaced with "effort". Heck, even "experience" often equates to "outcome from prior effort". If you don't care to understand something, therefore making you less "smart", we're often just talking about a choice in applied & focused effort.

Of course, there are caveats to this. Effort alone can't compensate for capability to learn (I keep this bookmarked: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0535/6917/products/incompe...) And there are times where effort requires a lot, and we might not have the room/time to simply add that capability to our repertoire.

But all this said, I have found that being "smart" enough is more often just a status of where my efforts have been applied.

Allstate Is No Longer Offering New Policies in California
People can often take on more than they think. It just requires tradeoffs or sacrifices. Plenty of people that have kids, health issues, multiple jobs, still find the time to better themselves by going back to school or working out to improve health, or volunteering and or building a community program in some way. It just is rare to make that choice relative to our wealth of leisure options. It is easier (and very understandable) to just choose to find some enjoyment in your life by taking what joy you can. Which is why people that "go beyond" are celebrated in media. But it isn't unattainable in the same sense that, say, loosing weight isn't some magical thing that only the few can do. It instead is something hard, something that incentives conspire against, but nevertheless still accessible to most.

Regulatory capture is just one of the many ways crony capitalism happens.
According to Wikipedia the building was built in Pasadena a few blocks away (175 N Las Robles) and not in Temple City. It was moved in 1987. I don’t know if that removes any of the mystery.
What Is the “Servant Economy”?
The thing that demands growth is private equity investors. They demand that growth because they borrowed a ton of money and have to pay it back. No one demanded they borrow the money. No one demanded the bank lend them the money. They could have used half the leverage (and made half the profits per dollar invested if it succeeded.)

No one demanded they enter this line of business at all. It’s a risk game. It’s optional. If they had won, they’d be welcome to the cash; they didn’t, so, the banks that own the loan are welcome to ownership of the company. The real problem here is that if the bank had failed badly enough, the taxpayers might end up on the hook, which is why bailouts are bad, but that’s another matter, because the current wave of failures is more about interest rates on Treasuries than anything else. Maybe that will change. But with interest rates normalizing after 15 years, we’re liable to see less of this nonsense, not more.

How can it be surprising that a presidential candidate is campaigning during the election? I read the article and it strikes me as completely absurd. Of course a candidate is going to use his network of supporters to try to influence voters in every channel available, including YouTube. The writers try to present this as something strange, and I can't really understand why?

Brasil is a democracy. Candidates will use all legal means to try to influence people to vote for them - that is what they are supposed to do.

I remember he dropped Doom 3 on us with fully dynamic lighting and shadows in like fucking 2004 or something. I remember getting my hands on the engine leak (in 2003?) and absolutely getting my mind blown to see shadows dancing on the wall (at like 8 FPS on my athlonXP geforce4 rig) at something resembling real-time, in the same map that was used at the Apple developer demo where Steve Jobs announced mac support.

All of Carmack's engines were YEARS ahead of their time. Everyone was doing baked lighting and employing various gimmicks for dynamic-looking shadows, and this dude (and his team) comes in and destroys everyone with this fully-, actually-dynamic lighting system. I don't think anyone else even came close until Crysis in 2007.

If that isn't a top 10 programmer performance than I don't know what is.

> Any substances widely consumed by people should be regulated and tested before they are sold to the public

Even after marijuana legalization, many states still have thriving underground marijuana markets.

Many people who consume a lot of a substance over time will inevitably seek out cheaper sources. The sources complying with regulation and testing requirements, however light, will be more expensive than someone growing some plants in the back of a spare building somewhere.

The problem is exacerbated for more expensive and addictive drugs. The few people I’ve known who became addicted to opioids were spending significant amounts of money to maintain their habit and traveling to increasing dangerous situations to get better prices.

It’s optimistic to declare that everyone should have access to well tested drugs, but the reality is that it’s not a magic bullet. I also have some serious doubts about the narrative that increasing availability of drugs won’t contribute to more widespread addiction problems.
I certainly don't mean to be defending either party, but the bill received bi-partisan support. Only 2 reps voted against it in the house, and it received unanimous support in the senate (which includes 12 democrats).

I'd just like to point out, that I run a side business selling vinyls/cassettes in a very niche genre. I looked into advertising on reddit, as there were two or three communities that I was already active in with collectors of this type of music.

I thought it'd be better to advertise than self promote. However, Reddit's ad management is a complete cluster. It is confusing, frustrating to set up, and difficult to analyze.

The reason I really wanted to advertise on Reddit rather than Facebook/Instagram is that Facebook's "profiles" of people aren't specific enough for what I am selling. But with Reddit, I literally just want to target anyone who is a member of or visits these specific subreddits.

For me, it is perfect targeted advertising without any invasive tracking of users!

But Reddit wouldn't let me. Those subreddits aren't on their very limited list of approved subreddits. Instead my only choice was to be able to target a really, really big subreddit (/r/Music) which 99.99% of the people there would have no interest in my product, or to use their profiles, which are not nearly as complete as Facebook's.

So, I gave up, and decided I wasn't getting my return on advertising on Reddit.
It successfully tells me that the website is down
