I can share a post-mortem in a non-confrontational way and have a discussion about it. Even if it often results in an “Oh well, I guess it won’t work”, sometimes it’s a highly productive conversation on how things could have been done better, and the person or team goes off to execute some new variation to great success. And sometimes the variation fails as well, but such is life. I try to engage with people in a way where even if failure is highly likely, we go in eyes open knowing the risk is worth it. Sometime we’re wrong (or I’m wrong, it’s my fault) but such is life. Not all shiny ideas keep their shine once they’re unpacked into an attempted implementation.
I'm calling it now: if/when this really takes off, this will absolutely be used as a way to lock users into the platform (OS and/or browser). Even the vendors that have committed to being open about 3rd party integration will close that loophole. It will be done 'in the name of security', because, ostensibly, Microsoft/Apple can ensure the keys are stored 'more securely' or the sync is easier.

Having the keys in your PW manager of choice is worthless if your browser/OS won't play ball. Keeping all those logins locked inside Apple/Google/MS's garden is just too juicy of a 'sticky' platform lock-in to ignore. Besides, only nerds care about integration of other key storage platforms; 98% of users will just keep them in iCloud/Hello/Google, so maintaining the APIs to enable that integration will be on the chopping block of every Product Manager.

e.g. look at Google's Authenticator app. Once you add a TOTP secret, you can't get it back out. Only recently did they add the ability to sync, but only to other Android devices you own. Those keys are hidden forever, for your protection.

raytracing rendering moved to physics based rendering a while ago: the core idea is to approximate the physics of light as accurately as can reasonably be made fast. It's not like it's solving a wave equation directly, it's using a statistical sampling of a model of how light interacts with different interfaces between mediums. This is basically the easiest way to get photorealistic renders: the human brain is very good at noticing when your scene has non-physical lighting (not in a 'ahah, the specular highlights violate conservation of energy' way, but in a 'this looks fake' way).

(this approach was started by some researchers who basically said 'well, let's make a simple scene for real and measure everything and make our render look identical' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_box )
> Yes, it was, but that's not even relevant to the fakery issue.

This is Russian propaganda and not even true all Ukraine did was introduce a bill to make all offical communications be provided in Ukrainian.

America is not to spread out if you look only east of the Mississippi, and the Pacific coast. Alaska and the great plains lack the population for good transit, but the rest is close to European density and European solutions could work.

What doesn't work is the bad service we get. Cars are expensive, but better than what passes for transit so of course we drive.
That's amazing! Long time ago I wrote a conversion function that took longer than 10ns but had the input normalization feature you skipped in your blog post. (Say January 32nd will be automatically transformed to February 1st, and specifying the thirteenth month of a year will become January of the following year.) Those are simple to implement and I doubt it costs much.

To normalize months outside of the 1–12 range:

--month;
if (month >= 12 || month < 0) {
year += month / 12;
month %= 12;
if (month < 0) {
--year;
month += 12;
}
}
++month;

To fix incorrect days that's even easier. Most algorithms do not need any changes.
1. In a world without templates/generics, you have to manually define a different such struct for every possible return type. Can be macro'd at the function definition, but it's ugly.

2. Without first-class support, it's very difficult to assert that the error is actually being checked. Consider:

int someVal = getSomeVal(...).v;
doSomethingWith(someVal);

vs.

(int someVal, error e) = getSomeVal(...);
doSomethingWith(someVal);

Which is easier to catch at code-review time, or even at linter time?

In most languages that don't support multiple return values, both problems are solvable with templates or local equivalent - see, for instance, absl::StatusOr for C++ (https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/status).

Vapes stores run the gamut. Some of them inherited their style from the classic head shop, which was basically as tacky as possible. The head shop scene has evolved from places selling pipes, bongs, rock posters, incense, psychadelia, sometimes porn and knives to include a type of store called a glass gallery, with higher end merchandise and a much more modern and classy sense of style. Some vape stores are actually quite nice, like one I went to in Eugene which had lounge chairs, tasting bar and was decorated like a fairly nice coffee shop. One that I go to here in Denver isn't as nice, but has a reasonably classy atmosphere compared to the type of store you describe. It likely depends on the area.

My experience with counterfeits was at average liquor stores though, not actual vape shops. 7-11 and other convenience stores also sell these disposable vape pens and from what I've gathered, most of the disposables are fraudulent. Supposedly dedicated vape stores are better about selling legitimate items, though I imagine it varies.
> There’s nothing technically clever or novel here.

Nothing technically novel. But evidently it was at least a somewhat novel stress test execution for GitHub’s live systems, otherwise surely it would have been dealt with sooner and messaged with less benefit of the doubt to the user.

Investigating the limitations of something doesn’t have to be novel to be interesting. It’s been a while (I think), but for example there’s been plenty of praise here for Netflix’s own stress tests of its live systems. The tests are often really mundane, eg just shutting some stuff off or triggering known error conditions. It’s interesting not because the nature of the fault is novel, but because systems are complex and it’s a way to learn about their failure modes.

I’m also not saying GitHub should hire them (and kinda I doubt they’d want a QA offer based on reading other blog posts on their site). Just that a hire would plausibly be similarly beneficial to a ban.
I'm a big C proponent, via C++, I've thought about this article on-and-off since it first came out. My team uses C++ to define new container types & some type-safe translation stuff. If I think about it, our containers are — at their root — fancy fat pointers.

Bezos backed company has over $100M in homes despite US housing shortage
Shortly before home prices began to surge in 2021, Amazon.com Inc. Founder Jeff Bezos made a bet on a Seattle-based startup that had a mission to make real estate investments more accessible to retail investors. That year, Arrived Homes became the first company to legally sell shares of individual rental properties to nonaccredited investors.

Bezos's investment in the real estate company's seed round appears to have been well-timed since skyrocketing home prices followed by rising mortgage rates have helped send the homeownership rate in the U.S. to its lowest level since 1970.

The billionaire tech entrepreneur is betting on the U.S. becoming a nation of renters.
Starting with Ice Lake there’s support for 5-level paging, which increases this to 128 PiB. Can’t say that I’ve ever seen this used in the wild though.
The thing with the 3. in both Spanish and Japanese is that they are unambiguously for romantic relationships*, if you wanted to say "I like/love pancakes" you'd say "me gustan/encantan las tortitas", with "encantan" being the superlative of like, you wouldn't use love*.

There is no 2.5 in Spanish/Japanese AFAIK? Like the 2 can be extended to include 2.5. I wanted to point that out, that IMHO in English "I love you" as a romantic phrase in a couple feels to be in a bit of an awkward position between 2 and 3; when you are starting/just a couple it's too early to say it, when you have found your soulmate and are totally in love it's not strong enough of a feeling.

* weeell, technically, "amo/amar" can be used as a figure of speech in some situations where it's not purely romantic; but it's kind of uncommon and a wordplay, like trying to describe that you are in love with pancakes everyone would understand it's not "real love", you just want to express how much you like them.

Oh, I was fairly offended that these stores happily sold me dangerous and fraudulent products. I certainly won't be doing that again.

Glad your problem turned out to be fairly benign, although I'm sure painful and worrisome! Who knows what they put into those products.

Customs and the FTC are the US agencies tasked with protecting consumers and the market from counterfeit products. I would imagine there are various national and local agencies for different types of products. It appears they could step up enforcement a bit.

I'd argue the boom and also the bust happened for that exact reason. And that something similar is happening now with AI.

Without OSS we might have seen a more tepid period in the late 90s (smaller boom), as only those who could licenses IBM-whatever or MS-whatever webservers and DBs could make it to market. But also a correspondingly smaller bust, because only those with $$$$ would be able to make the investment, and due to the big barrier to entry likely would've won out their categories.

The fact that capabilities were open sourced confused the heck investors who'd been used to the MS/IBM world. They didn't understand how competition would work in the space. Hence terrible investment decisions that in retrospect look hilariously stupid.

Don't get me wrong: I much prefer the OSS world. But it's an instructive historical example. Today in AI, any old huckster with a naive nephew who knows how to finetuning things can come to market with something that looks magical to the folks holding the money bags, who likely can't differentiate between trivial hacks on top of open models and a deeper tech moat.
> As an analyst, though, I tend to prefer Hume’s empiricism over Decartes - I can only analyse what we can know. We don’t have AGI, and without that, we have only another wave of automation, and we don’t seem to have any a priori reason why this must be more or less painful than all the others.

A more apt analogy, if we didn’t already know the general range where a given single comment thread degrades that thread (analogue to a local repo) and HN overall (analogue to the GH service), writing a bot to answer that specific question.

Programming languages had array and slice types since the 60's. It wasn't like C developers didn't know their value. As a matter of fact, C's relaxed behavior with pointers and arrays when it came out was PRAISED to no end in the 80's like it provided developers great flexibility to do whatever they wanted, and the compiler would get out of the way. It was thought of as a feature at the time. It wasn't an omission but a deliberate choice to do it that way. People only relatively recently started to care about security and maintenance cost of these features.

Anatomy of a Firework (2002)
I thought that Tegmark made a really good point about the advantage that governments and militaries[1] with AI have over ones without. That's usually how technology becomes embedded in society because the people and cultures that utilize it get an advantage over ones that don't. In that sense AI does have risks because the more decisions that are delegated to AI the more likely it is that societies with AI keep ratcheting the existential risks for themselves and others, very much like nuclear weapons and their proliferation.

In the video, Derek says the sun provides "a more useful form of energy than earth gives back because it is more concentrated". I would argue this is not technically true. What makes the energy from the sun useful is that it emits blackbody radiation, and this has photons that are more energetic than heat (IR) radiated back into space. Light with wavelengths between 400-700 nm are used by plants for photosynthesis. Heat radiated back into the atmosphere is mostly in the IR spectrum. This is both quantitatively and qualitatively important due to the quantized properties of electrons orbiting nuclii (IR wavelengths cannot readily to elevate electrons into a greater energy state).

yes, space exploration (which is a different mod entirely), aims to introduce new automation challenges instead of simply extending the same kind of challenges as in the base game (though it also does a little of that: it'll probably take you a bit longer to launch a rocket than in vanilla and that's more or less the start of SE, but it's nowhere near as slow as seablock). It basically requires use of the circuit network, for example (though the required use is relatively simple, it benefits from more advanced usage).
Um yes.

They're great if you have a recent (<10 years old, starting with the Radeon HD 7000 series, released in 2012.) video card which are supported by the AMDGPU drivers. Rock stable and good performance.

If you have a 10-15 GPU, which are supported by the older, but still open source, radeon drivers they're meh. They're stable but the performance is very poor. (they also lack vulkan support and I think you're limited to opengl 3.x but that's as much because of the hardware as the lack of driver support) (when I say the "performance is poor" I don't just mean that it's 10+ year old hardware and Moore's law has passed it by. I mean the drivers were poorly optimized, and the chipset itself spent a lot of time idle/doing redundant work, even when the graphics card was the bottleneck. The same card playing the same game in Windows would get higher framerates because the Windows drivers were better optimized.)

If you have a 15+year old GPU supported by the fglrx drivers they are (were) bad. Extremely flakey, crashed all the time. AFAIK AMD has long since abandoned them, and if you have a driver that requires the fglrx drivers, you're probably out of luck. For all intents and purposes these cards are expensive, power hungry VESA cards.

I know this is a rhetorical question but with a compatible backend like this, could an app like Apollo pay the API fees to Reddit for historical posts, seeding content for the platform, and write subsequent posts to this new alternative database? That way you avoid the cold start problem, and the API fees to Reddit should fade over time as the content becomes stale -- the posts can even be sunsetted once native content is enough to sustain a network. Would that violate any terms?

What Is WAN Data Redundancy Elimination
You don't need more than single-writer concurrency if your write txns are fast enough.

Our experience with OpenLDAP was that multi-writer concurrency cost too much overhead. Even though you may be writing primary records to independent regions of the DB, if you're indexing any of that data (which all real DBs do, for query perf) you wind up getting a lot of contention in the indices. That leads to row locking conflicts, txn rollbacks, and retries. With a single writer txn model, you never get conflicts, never need rollbacks.
