Im not sure what I would do. But I do know that if I reacted similarly, by posting all of the private meetings and communications to the public web, where I knew a hornet's nest would be stirred up (his subreddit obviously), I can't expect much of a relationship with reddit to survive after the fact.

I can understand how he feels, but he had to know that this would happen.

> I think he has all the rights to be angry about it.

Yup, I totally agree, and I sympathize with him. Hes in a bad spot, but unfortunately, theres not much he can do anymore unless reddit changes their mind.
> We use 3 minute crons to keep a set of concurrent workers alive (pre-warming as you describe). The number of requests that hit full cold start are <0.5%.

Does this mean you have a cron job just pinging the serverless function every 3 minutes? I'm curious how much this adds on to your costs. It means that the whole "don't pay for non-usage" thing is not quite true, but maybe it's still significantly cheaper than running an EC2 instance or whatnot. I'm curious about the cost calculation here.

Another thing I'm curious about, since you have a container-based deployment, did you compare with Fargate? It's another "serverless" solution I've been looking at lately and trying to compare with the Lambda approach. As far as I can tell the downside is that it's hard to scale down to zero like with Lambda, but the idea is that it supports long-running tasks instead of having to set up complicated Rube Goldberg machines with Lambdas. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed to discover that it doesn't support GPU.
It isn't impossible - looks like someone is working on restoring m68k support in OCaml[1] which was removed earlier[2].

Can someone please elaborate on how this differs from Firebird, which also seems to be a lightweight VM that can spin up very fast
Reading one of the threads about it someone lamented that "the old relationship on Reddit is dead now". It really did feel like a unique relationship between the users and management for a long time. But that much money can corrupt the best of us.

Especially for a server GPU, looking up watts and multiplying by time per token should give you a pretty good number.
I believe the concern is everyone wants a foundation model, each one may have a comparatively tiny energy/carbon cost (vs yearly global usage and carbon output) but if there's lots of organisations training them up this all adds up. The energy data can help decide how much of a problem this is to worry about (solved through open models you can fine tune rather than always starting from scratch or maybe some regulations around model licensing that looks like the FRAND terms you see for patents and other IP.
„It’s useful, why not“ is not a good basis for regulation.

At least on paper, capitalism is not synonymous with oligarchy. All these corporate entities rely for their existence and "profitability" on a legal system, a security apparatus, on vital for their operations utilities such monetary systems, educational institutions etc. etc. that are bankrolled by the collective.

Corporate legal entities are merely granted a license to operate within defined sandboxes. If society and its politics refuses to design sandboxes that will serve it well we should not expect to see the benefits of the invisible hand or whatever positive attributes might be associated with the design.

It is not rocket science. The first and most powerful rule which is related to this discussion is simply: don't give any toddler too big a sandbox. It gets on their head and the outcome is that the entire family suffers.

Show HN: Askyoutube – Ask YouTube anything
Hi everyone, I built this recently and found myself and my friends using it for various different things so I figured I'd share it here.

It uses LLMs to answer queries from videos so you don't have to watch them yourself! Each video found is also included with a summary of its transcript for further exploration. Most importantly, it uses up-to-date videos and can answer question about real and recent things unlike ChatGPT.

It is particularly useful for:

1. Getting up to date information about the news from different sources
E.g.

- What are the features of the recently released Apple Vision Pro?

- How many people were evacuated from the recent eruption in Hawaii?

2. Product reviews
E.g.

- What's the best vegan & cruelty-free skin cream?

- What is best GPU for deep learning in 2023?

3. Learning about a specific topic
E.g.

- What are the requirements for the commercial pilot's license?

- How do I do a cartwheel?

Let me know what you tried and submit feedback in the interface, I read all of them! Also do include your email if you want a follow up for your feedback

This is the first Louis Rossmann video I'd seen. I agree with a lot of what he's saying, but I don't like this format of delivery. Speaking rapidly, barely taking a breath, constant repetition. It makes my brain tired to listen to him, and I keep expecting to be offered a timeshare.

I don't know when Heroku launched, but that's where GAE fits in the summary to me - it's 'serverless' in the 'not managing a server' sense, but there's some conflation (at least in the article, but generally too I think) with a 'function as a service' model, which is inherently a subset of serverless I suppose, and where Lambda sits.

> Last time I checked, the Mac that shipped in 1984 didn't have a CD drive, and the original Mac OS that shipped with the system was a ROM, so no CD was shipped with it...

Right. No python. No C. No Perl. No Pascal. No Ruby. No C++. No Basic. Even the Apple IIc with it's puny 64k of ram had a decent Basic in it for the time. Talk about a feat of engineering from Microsoft!

One thing I was able to do with my AppleIIc was control the serial port through Basic (1984 ish). Hypertalk released support for doing that in 1992 -- a full 8 years (!) after the original mac was released.

Have you tried mermaidjs? It's probably related to mermaidchart.com -- I don't know. The first sequence diagram in the article boils down to this:

sequenceDiagram
Customer->>Bank: Login request
Bank-->>Customer: Login approval

with a fancier image for the customer than a box. Try it out at https://mermaid.live (linked from https://mermaid.js.org/)

Or this one, from a service I worked on a couple of years ago:

sequenceDiagram
Title: Service Signup
autonumber
User ->> App: User enters email address and password
App ->> Server: Makes API call to register the user
alt is not registered or already registered
Server ->> App: Sends a token for authenticated API calls
App ->> App: Generates unique ID
App ->> Server: Makes API call to link user's account with unique ID
else some other error
Server ->> App: Returns [TODO: add error cases here] error
App ->> User: Display error
end

I hated drawing diagrams with a mouse, but when I found mermaid, I started using sequence diagrams everywhere.

> Diagrams are low value window dressing.

It's about communication, as the article said. The people who needs the diagrams the most are often not tech-savvy.
Blazor computes the DOM deltas in webassembly/.NET code in the browser and then sends those deltas to the translation layer which then performs the changes to the DOM. This process would get a considerable performance boost if webassembly were allowed to access the DOM directly.

Silverlight required a plug-in. That's a barrier to adoption that they never overcame. When plugins were outlawed it was impossible to continue Silverlight. Microsoft had seen the writing on the wall and had effectively abandoned Silverligt as a strategic product long before that. Blazor Webassembly is not in the same situation. Webassembly is not going to be pulled. Webassembly is objectively better than Javascript for the task of running code in the browser, so my prediction is that Javascript will be deprecated before Webassembly.
There was the old adage for Excel that:

Why don't you answer my question? Can you point to a country that uses electrolysis and hydrogen at scale currently? Because if we are going by estimates and projections, I can also talk about fusion and other pipe dreams on the nuclear side. Not to mention a lot of electrolysis is currently done with fossil fuels.
Thanks a lot! Look forward to try that out!!
Absolutely so. Zoning rules prohibit construction of more units per plot exactly because this is what customers want to buy and developers want to build and what makes the most money to everyone - everyone except the incumbents who own other places because that would increase housing supply in their area and lower valuations of their existing properties. If developers wanted to build a smaller number of bigger houses and customers wanted to buy those, zoning rules won't exist, they won't be necessary.
No unified way to do it. Popular sites and publishers run their own subscription service so they aren't sharing revenue. Apple News+ and Amazon have some publications available for subscription through their services.

I think a lot of people who want to read a paywalled article linked from HN use archive.is to look for an archived snapshot, you can try that.
>Now that we're in 2023, and pretty much everyone is either multiply-vaccinated or has had COVID

I'm a facilitator for a men's mental health talking group in my county. Sample size is small and not indicative, but there are a few people who are anti-vaccination, have continued to eschew popular science in favour of their trusted researchers, and are now assigning blame to almost any other person's illnesses as caused by "the vaccine".

Edit: I'm getting downvoted, so I should clarify -- I'm not agreeing with this person at all, I'm vaccinated and boosted.

Aside: one of the (anti-vaccination, anti-establishment) attendees has said that his (anti-vaccination, anti-establishment) trusted expert told him "the banks will collapse" on June 27th (he mentioned Santander specifically). So, now you know.
Read carefully this is only for the unvaccinated.
Thanks for the detailed reply.

Other than being able to maintain your own list of users, are there downsides to using Oauth?
What mostly worked for me was two simple things: splitting the big tasks and constantly evaluating evaluations. With more smaller evaluations negative and positive errors anihilate each other. With adjusting the evaluations you can reach the a point where you don't have errors on only one side.

> This is isn't a problem with PHP.

I'd argue it is, since PHP's common runtimes expect you to cross user boundaries all the time:

- as Apache2 module, PHP runs as the same user as the web server, so the web server needs to have write access across all tenants.

- FPM recommends running as a TCP socket, letting tenants freely access other tenants' PHP processes. Unix sockets can solve that issue with carefully permissions, but the documentation barely mentions that use case.

Containers are the minimum security boundary.
That they did that and that their community followed is super cool ! It shows that the decentralized web isn’t dead and is a viable solution.

> A "mær" (as Maer - imagine an a umlaut) does exist still but the word is so antiquated that I don't expect kids these days to know it.

The word [die] Mär/die Märe [the lore, myth] (in modern German one would rather use "die Kunde" (not to be confused with "der Kunde" [the customer])) is used regularly in modern German in the diminutive form: "das Märchen" (the fairly tale). So, a Märchen [fairy tale] is a small lore.

> "wunders"

die Wunder [the wonders].

> "geseit"

In modern German, you would say "gesagt", which is actually rather similar, but you might indeed have some difficulties finding this relationship on your own.

> lobebæren

You can immediately see the relationship to the noun "[das] Lob". So you can guess that in modern German you would use "gelobt" (I agree that using "gelobt" sounds a little bit stilted in modern German, but this shall not matter here).

> sure that's "grosser Arbeit" but when I look at the "translation to German" (from the middle high German the original apparently is written in) it says it's "groesse Muehsahl".

Your guess is perfectly correct: the meaning of "Arbeit" has shifted over time, so in modern German, you would rather use the word "Mühsal".

> "hôchgezîten": Hochzeiten? Like weddings?

A wedding is actually a "high time" (Hoch-Zeit). This relationship is slightly obscured in modern German in that if you mean "wedding" the initial "o" in Hochzeit is pronounced differently when meaning "wedding". If you pronounce "Hochzeit" as "Hoch-Zeit", the meaning becomes very clear ("Hochzeit" as in "Hochphase" ["high phase" -> heyday]).

> "recken" very old word.

The word "der Recke" [valiant] is a (slightly old-fashioned) word that does exist in modern German.

> "strîten" means streiten

In this case: [die] Streite (plural of [der] Streit) in the today less commonly used (but perfectly understandable) meaning "die Kämpfe" [the combats]. If you are used to the lyrics of the Lohengrin opera

> http://www.wagneroperas.com/indexlohengrinlibretto.html

"streiten"/[der] Streit/[der] Streiter is used all the time in this older meaning, for example:

Friedrich:
[...]
Hier steh' ich, hier mein Schwert! Wer wagt von euch,
zu streiten wider meiner Ehre Preis!

Die Brabanter:
Keiner von uns! Wir streiten nur für dich!

or

Der König
[...]
Heil deinem Kommen, teurer Held!
Die du so treulich riefst ins Feld,
die harren dein in Streites Lust,
von dir geführt, des Siegs bewußt.

Die Männer
Wir harren dein in Streites Lust,
von dir geführt, des Siegs bewußt.

Lohengrin
Mein Herr und König, laß dir melden:
Die ich berief, die kühnen Helden,
zum Streit sie führen darf ich nicht!

"Клоп" is a Russian word for bedbugs and heteropteras in general.
[old person rant]

There is nothing wrong with developing software and selling it.
It used to be the norm and it is still quite common.

These days "open source" is virtue signaling and expected "to be cool".
That people then grump about not being paid shows that they
are not particularly interested in the concept of open source.

However, the term open source has been used for so many different things
that is has lost most shared coherent meaning.
I guess that is why "Libre Software" is now being used by some.

What is plain hypocrisy to me are the people who developed "for profit"
open source projects, and are angry when they dont get paid enough,
when the projects they have created rely on GNU tools, the Linux kernel
(Perhaps Debian), a libre software database on so on.

Their product is built on the shoulders and sacrifice of other open-source folks that often is not getting paid or not paid enough.

For profit open source should have clause of donating X% of profits
downstream to the open-source projects they rely on.
(Since they would have no product without them)

There are some core and vital open-source projects that have enormous
importance for millions.
I think supporting them should be a priority.

A lot of modern software is "open source" until it become inconvenient
and they introduce "Pro", or "see source", or shift license entirely.

A lot of companies should just be "for profit".
There is nothing wrong with it
and nothing wrong with making money,
or making money off of open source.
I do nitpick on people who see open source as a way to get
paid and they are angry if they dont get it.
