It's nothing to do with hating billionaires. Presumably they didn't realise how risky the whole thing was. I find it hard to believe that a father was going to put his son in so much danger, if he had realised. We are all working with the assumption that the crew believed that the trip was reasonably safe.
I believe the kids call this "finding out." Or, as Feynman once put it: "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."
Not really sure how you drew that conclusion.
The point is the extreme, rapid force involved.

Imploding or exploding, nine atmospheres is gonna suck. 400 atmospheres is... like standing under a nuclear bomb. The good news is it doesn't hurt, at all.

Someone else on the thread posted a video of a one atmosphere implosion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM). 400x the pressure here.
Hi HN,

Lior, the maker of DreamGift here.

I've always struggled with finding nice gift ideas for friends/family/wife, and often would go down a rabbit hole, trying to find something original and personalized.

Recently, I discovered how good ChatGPT is in generating gift ideas when given the right context and information.

I set out to build DreamGift, a friendly ChatGPT-alike gift advisor, powered by GPT-3.5 and Amazon's API: https://dreamgift.ai

The product is free, of course. The business model is affiliation, since I don't intend to sell any gifts directly (this would be a huge operational headache).

In the short term, my focus is further improve the gift suggestions, there's a lot of research and prompt engineering involved.

In the future, I'd like to take personalization to the next level: imagine it suggesting tailored gift ideas for your friend by browsing and learning from their Instagram profile. Still not 100% sure it's feasible, but I'd definitely like to try that.

Would love to hear your feedback, roasts, and answer any questions you may have!

This. When the shit hits the fan, and lives could be at stake, the participants in responsive operations seem to focus more intently, and the lessons learned seem to get imprinted more firmly, than when it's a drill.

(There was a reason that when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the emergency radio transmission that went out was, "Air raid Pearl Harbor X This is no drill." [0])

I suspect the psychology might be related somehow to Samuel Johnson's dictum that "When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully."

Yesterday, people involved with the Darwin awards were saying "let's wait 24 hours".

For the pilot and co-founder, yes, he deserves the award. For the passengers, I predict lawsuits. But apparently the contract included a clause about accidental death.

The guy who brought his son also probably deserves a Darwin award.
A coup that splits the nation into warring factions.
I saw a bit of video where they showed the construction- it’s a few inch wide band of carbon fibre wrapped around an inner tube like a spool of thread until it reaches 5” thickness.
This is pretty much the poster child for insurance policies. One of the first major uses of insurance was for maritime activities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd%27s_of_London
Forget safety features. Its structural design was fundamentally wrong. That's just insanely bad structural engineering.

I wouldn't even buy a used carbon fiber road bike.
Carbon fiber is notorious for sudden unexpected failures due to invisible cracking inside it after it gets loaded too much. Definitely a bad material choice. Even steel can form stress fractures under those kinds of pressures,

But kids and people die regularly due to having a barbeque thing lit in a close space and the coals consume the oxygen and make CO2.

Wouldn't that wake them up?

I also assumed that too much CO2 fast is the key not the super slow version of what those people in the sub have experienced
Wouldn't that be an example of what the comment you're replying to calls a misallocation of resources?

Yeah but the pressure equalization happens so fast you’d almost certainly feel nothing.

Relatedly, I appreciate that most Unicode math symbols are in the built-in Windows emoji IME opened with Win+. or Win+; whichever feels more comfortable. Unicode math stuff is under the Omega (Ω) tab.

The biggest shortcoming is that emoji themselves have type-to-search, but math/international symbols don't and you either get to mouse through it or arrow/tab/enter through it.

But the nice advantage is that it has been built-in for several Windows versions now and you can count on it to work nearly everywhere.
In his mind he never properly died though, it was damn near instant. He got to live his whole life and never realize the consequences of his actions through a slow, violent epiphany.
They found a debris field. That's pretty conclusively not a slow leak.
Yeah, unfortunately, it only works on old reddit. It's quite amusing to see how they treat old and new reddit as entirely different platforms.

Do you have a detailed list of rescue vehicles deployed for each event ?
In my experience when you're younger you can make a decision quickly without thinking through a lot of the edge cases and it works most of the time so it's much faster and just as good. Most of the time.
They have inertial navigation system.
It's not comparable, as the source code is mostly not theirs.
You cannot, not without hacking (speakers) Bluetooth audio is fine though, and I've not tried the headphone jack
I definitely got more dogmatic, but I also find it interesting because I scan visual stuff really fast, and typically notice things a while before people, ie while driving I'll spot a slick-top cop far ahead. So I have a lot of trust in my visual acuity. I got a score of 900 without trying the easy one.

The latter part of the test was 100% incriminating and I think I am quite dogmatic.
The comment you're replying to only mentions other people dying, not the billionaire. Second, the search and rescue effort involved a lot of government people and equipment, and the company complained that they weren't doing enough.
Probably. Ignore industry practices while bragging about doing same people space companies do (which deal with 0 to 1 atm of pressure), firing guy yelling that's unsafe, shooting potshots at veterans of industry being just not hip enough.

And then conning few other people to go into something that looked like what mythbusters built in a week (and if THEY did it it would probably not implode...)

"Mechanic on ‘record-setting’ Titan dive dismisses criticism from ‘armchair experts’"

https://news.yahoo.com/mechanic-record-setting-titan-dive-19...
Something I've learned over my life is not to automatically trust that someone has done or will do the right thing just because they stick their neck out. Sometimes they stick their neck out because they don't actually understand the risks and consequences, but they are pretending that they do. They're artificially signaling confidence.

In this case, the CEO risking his life on this third(!) voyage means 1 of 2 possibilities: 1) The CEO has done the due diligence and has a thorough understanding of the risks and the safety protocols involved to minimize those risks. 2) The CEO is naive.
I wonder if you even could, given the fact that that stuff is trying to get away from each other you'd have to get the timing right to a ridiculous degree of precision.
It's all over this thread
There is no difference to whether or not it is forced, not whether or not you support it.
Indeed. I'd be curious if there would even be a body to find. I have to imagine it'd be compressed into paste. It's very disturbing to think about, but also a preferable way to die compared to suffering through 96 hours of uncertainty before slowly asphyxiating.
If you're in a position of saying "if I had less money [...] I'd take a long term lease" you already pretty far on the "buy freedom with money" ladder compared to a lot of people. (Or underestimating the difficulty in many places of getting a long term lease without having much money or steady employment without sacrificing some of your other things like nice climate.)

You just did a different thing with your freedom. So the part of the mentality you just hate is that "once you have freedom you can provide for your family"?

As I understood it, this was for the 1/3 scale model.

That's with Windows I think. With distros like Ubuntu they're not hitting those numbers.

It is rather common. My midrange MSI laptop is made of magnesium alloy for instance.

It has similar properties to aluminum but it can be cast, making it a material of choice as a more premium alternative to plastic.
It makes sense for students that can make the logical leap that "things the robot can do" are objects too (which is only a tiny step from the nicely-recursive "code can just be an object").

... but not everybody is ready for that step.
Hi Hacker News!

The idea is that you meet IRL first, then start chatting online. Our site utilizes a physical ‘chat card’ that has a QR code link that can be used to immediately access a private chat room. So, you print cards first, keep the cards on your person, and then give them to people you want to chat with.

The idea is that if you’re in a place where it might not be the best time to chat up a stranger, you can quickly give them a chat cart that links to a private chat room where you can talk later. Our site generates a custom message for the card where you can give it your own flair too.

The site is free, ad free, simple, easy to use, and minimalist.

> By default, while I read something there's no auditory element at all.

I wouldn't characterize how I read -- which as far as I know is normal, but who can tell! -- as narrating to myself. Rather, it involves the sensation of somehow pronouncing words without necessarily hearing them. I can do this much faster than I could narrate the text explicitly.

I can also read without either narrating or pronouncing, but I find that it cuts down comprehension noticeably.
We’re in a period of unsustainably subsidized free environments being culled.

People trying to monetize free things in order to continue providing free things seems to not be working all that well.

The thing you do to make money and the free thing you offer probably just need to be separate for long term stability.

The Linux kernel model of lots of institutions supporting an actually free project is probably the only real long term successful free model.
Clojure is a product design tool (2015)
I'm guessing these guys didn't even have a black box on this thing so we can't hear the last second of audio in the thing being a the CEO saying "Ohshi--" because his "you are about to die" alarm has gone off.
One second is a really long time UX-wise.
Lets put it this way.

If it was structurally compromised, the implosion would be so fast, a combustion event a la what happens in diesel engines would have occurred.

There would be no bodies. There would only be shreds of pressure hull.

The titanium hemispheres may have maintained their shape. There is a slight chance it may have been a pinhole leak, and someone had a second to go "Uh..." before the rest of the structure started giving way.

It is clear that even these "strain gauges and microphones" to detect compromise of the structure were useless, or that the issure ultimately rested on the window in the front.

The main point to keep in mind is that short of finding the two hemispheres in the next day or so, we'll likely not know the full details with regard to the course of events of the unmaking of the vehicle.

The Sea has claimed them, and she is wont to give up her dead. Hubris, met by the cold hard edge of reality, has proven to be an insufficient aegis once again.

May they rest in peace.
I think this should be getting a lot more attention because it forces us to ask what kind of society we are becoming.

What does it mean that a single, powerful, self-serving, person can silence anyone he doesn’t want to speak?

Left unchecked, we will end up in a two-tiered society- one tier where a small group of people are never accountable for anything and another tier that will bear brunt of those consequences- whether it is because of defective products, addictive painkillers, failing services, or generally corrupt govt.

As I write this, the top story is about Elon Musk and Zuckerberg planning a fight. It’s quite an apt symbol for how removed these men are from the reality of most of humanity- both their employees and the users of their products who have been hurt by them.
That suggests it was the carbon fibre shell that failed.

If it was the Plexiglas that failed (or other part of the end bell assembly), I'd expect the pressure to quickly equalise though the failure point and the carbon fibre shell to remain relatively intact and hold those end bells together.

Though, I'm not an engineer. Maybe the rapid change in loading could result in the carbon fibre shattering.
"Systemd, Gnome, and Wayland are key plays here"

GNOME and Wayland are utterly non-strategic for most of Red Hat's business. If your theory of Red Hat's long-term strategy hinges on those being strategic, then you need to go back to the drawing board. You could fairly cite systemd, I suppose, but Wayland and GNOME not so much.

On point 3 - that's not really controversial. All the Linux vendors have tried to "be" Linux in the public market. Canonical has certainly tried to be the brand-name Linux for most users.

To the extent Red Hat has tried to steer the market w/r/t its tech stack, it's done so pretty honestly and by trying to persuade others to adopt its tech stack and by doing the work in the open. This is the opposite approach of Canonical which has tried to push lots of NIH technologies to silo people to Ubuntu and continues to fail at it over and over again.
Aluminum can certainly also be cast.

>Please, dear Red Hat, just give me a DigitalOcean VM (or something comparable) that costs a few dollars more and has automatic RHEL licensing. Make deals with the VM providers, work something out.

We've tried to make deals with RH in the past, but they will only let us sell RHEL VMs with licenses if it's running on a RHEL hypervisor... which none of our platform is using at all.
Yeah, it's slower, not impossible.

Throwing back to the past, central logging is new, and twenty years ago it would've been hearsay where many people couldn't verify those claimed past conversations. I would have no issues with a two-month default expiry policy for these things.
It's carbon fiber.

It doesn't break like soda can, it breaks like eggshells or hard plastic. It would probably look like something exploded on side of it, when any small hole/crack started it would just isntantly make rest of it rip till the pressure equalizes
It wasn't when WASM was invented, though. That was the question - why make something new when existing bytecode systems would have been made to work and achieve the same goal.
> Note that the certificates were not revoked until 2023-06-19 at 18:00.

Ah okay, I missed that.

> Are there plans for Caddy to support ARI?

It's... complicated. Matt argues that ARI does not make sense for a variety of reasons. You can find the complex and deep discussions about it on the LE forums. Do a Ctrl+F for ARI in https://community.letsencrypt.org/c/client-dev/14 to find them, there's a lot.
> I also abhor rote memorization. Not because I don't think it's valuable, I just hate extremely repetitive tasks.

Memorization leads to a different kind of knowledge, I think. You don't know the thing, you know the steps to reproduce.

It's like my grandmother who knows several songs by heart, but if you ask about the second line in the third verse she'll sing it from the start until she reaches the line in question. For a song this is sufficient, because it is analogous to the primary use cases.

It's waste the same way insurance* is waste. The difference between something certified and something not is exactly this instance, when the uncertified thing fails unexpectedly. The rest of the time, the difference is a "waste". Insurance is a waste until the accident happens and you get value from insurance.

*the general concept insurance, not the disaster that is US health insurance.
A thousand dollars? What, do you take me for a sucker? You have discovered the next big thing in AI and you want to get away with a thousand dollar bet?

Sure, if we ignore internal memory corruption inside linear memory.

JVM might not be the ideal example of polyglot runtime, yet there are several others of the same vintage, designed with multiple languages in mind, including C and C++, e.g. CLR, TIMI,...
Something about this comment is terrifying even beyond the story itself. I'll stay a dry land lubber
Well, Portal had an E2EE implementation that was well tested and reviewed, excellent hardware security (including immutable indicators in the form of LEDs of camera activity). It was built exactly like you'd build something to be immune from this criticism.

But since Meta was/is a privacy dumpster fire, none of that mattered.

I've seen that point brought up during a conference tech talk and when asked, most of the audience raised their hands up saying they would fly on a Space Shuttle regardless.

Even before ARI, some integrated ACME/Web servers use OCSP as a way of knowing to renew if a cert was revoked. Plus if you're doing that you can pin the OCSP response while you're at it.

The largest constraint on this (in the context of the FIRST competition) is that community matters at least as much as technology.

If you're using Java (or C++ or LabVIEW, to a lesser extent), you at least have a hope of posting to a forum and going "Hey, we think our robot should be doing X and it's doing Y, here's our code, any insights?"

If you use <bespoke language X> and your own custom bindings, you're on your own.

Lenovo, and previously IBM, manufactured magnesium alloy chassis and roll cages for the Thinkpad line of laptops. I personally have a couple.

It's an interesting material, it's very stiff and light, usually with a dark gray color and a sort of chalkboard-like texture.
Well it turns out he was wrong and the "armchair experts" were right.

Though insinuating all critics were "armchair experts" is pretty disingenuous. There were plenty of real experts raising serious safety concerns, including the guy who got fired for not approving manned test dives because of them. If there was a strong consenus among real experts that this thing was safe, then they would have had no trouble getting the relevant safety certifications.
As a US citizen, I think about money all the time. What country do you think I should move to to escape this?
One of the things about energy usage is that it requires your drivers to be all really behaving and in sync. Apple has probably spent many hours optimizing and organizing everything so that the power states all behave as they expect in order for the whole thing to deliver nice perf and power usage. Switching to Linux changes everything. I'm not saying it's going to be worse, but remember that every single driver will be different.
Which wasm runtime beats the CLR?

Which wasm runtime has more deployments in production than the CLR since 2001?
You know they won't. Anyone who really needs RHEL is already paying for the real thing. I reckon the main thing this brings is people moving en masse off RHEL-based distributions and a significant reduction in market- and mind-share over the long term.

It also feels like a moment of opportunity for SUSE, but they seem quiet.
Almost as interesting as this story has been the comments online.

Everyone, everywhere just parroting and re-parroting the same comments, attitude, pretending to understand the engineering with snippets from comments they’ve read, reactive talking points, etc…

Very strange.
