ZFS on Linux has improved a lot in the last few years. We (prematurely) moved to using it in production for our MySQL data about 5 years ago and initially it was a nightmare due to unexplained stalling which would hang MySQL for 15-30 minutes at random times. I'm sure it shortened my life a few years trying to figure out what was wrong when everything was on fire. Fortunately, they have resolved those issues in the subsequent releases and it's been much more pleasant after that.
Got an example?
If I'm not mistaken the linux port of ZFS that later became OpenZFS started at LLNL and was a port from FreeBSD (it may have been release ~9).

I believe it was called ZFS On Linux or something like that.

Nice how things have evolved: from FreeBSD to linux and back. In my mind this has always been a very inspiring example of a public institution working for the public good.

This is where the biggest impact will be: better requirements. I see no effect on writing code because humans already know how to write code just fine, but so many of the people running the business are absolutely clueless as to what it needs.

Congratulations on your release! Great product. This will totally fill our MANY on-premise CI, Security, analytics and Video needs that CANT be moved to the cloud. Oxide will definitely be on our short list for our next hardware/software stack refresh.
"var" does not "save on typing", at least not in C#. A variable declared with var is still statically typed. Its type is just inferred from context. The compiler will assign it the most specific type possible from that context. That's the important point - this occurs at compile time, not runtime.
How is a 45 line python script that runs templates hard to debug? You’re calling something “most likely” shitty, but have you seen it? Used it? I find this post and the method they use to produce their site utterly refreshing. What is “shitty” is many dozens (being kind) of JS libraries, complex configurations, and learning multiple tools to produce the same result!
I think it's unwise to constantly associate normal temperature fluctuations with any threat to civilization. If anything, it might be a leading indicator of mass migration. But we shouldn't ignore evidence to the contrary, mass influx of population towards warm areas, like the Sun Belt. If anything, humanity has increased in its capabilities to live in hot temperatures.
The responses on this thread from january did a good job of displaying the variety of phd experiences HN users have had: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34449626

From these and my own experiences, the results of this study are not surprising but I'm happy to see some published work on it.
I'm dealing with something similar. I used to sit with my mother to talk but almost immediately she would start talking about how unfair life had been to her and about all the people that had done her wrong. It was negative that led to negative. It was hard to take.

Eventually I got tired of it and started to negatively reinforce it. Instead of consoling her, I started to tell her how hard it was to hear what she was saying and that I didn't want to hear it anymore. I asked her to focus on the positive parts of life and gave her samples of what real tragedy was like by pointing out samples in the news that she watches every night. I know it was harsh but I don't think it was harsher that her recounting the same stuff everyday to me. The negativity has slowed not stopped but at least we can have a conversation now.

This is what I did but I can't recommend it to you since your situation can be so much different. Also, her short term memory is still functioning to a point. She mostly does her daily care and she requires very little help.
Yes. Chat GPT 4!
Basically if it's a hobby you can say "fuck it, i don't feel like it today" and if it's a business... nope.
If we pretend the Supreme Court is partisan, which it is not but let's entertain that thought here, then the decision was bipartisan. Both the Left and the Right judged that the EPA was overstepping its authority.[1]

>The court voted unanimously to reverse the Ninth Circuit, but split 5–4 on the rationale. The majority opinion, by Alito, introduced a new test to define wetlands, which reversed five decades of EPA rule-making and limited the scope of the Clean Water Act's authority to regulate waters of the United States. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three liberal justices in agreeing that the CWA did not apply to the Sacketts' property, but argued that the majority's new definition was incorrect and will have significant effects on regulated waters.

The argument I have in favour of not requiring encryption is best summarised by what you have outlined. It would require a massive industry shift towards no obvious solution with no backwards compatibility that doesn't solve anything

Until I hear a convincing story of how I will do the usual lan tasks of

- connect to my router to fiddle with settings

- see the management interface on my printer

- join my parents network and do things for them without having to explicitly trust a CA

- And most importantly, see consumers who don't understand any of those things be able to do these things all out of the box

I can't see how it is a viable expectation

I totally love encryption. It's great. But seriously: what domain will I visit to fix my pppoe settings. Who's going to control that domain, and who's going to renew the certs for it. Because if the answer we will expect consumers and SMEs to trust a certificate authority created by a factory with its own crappy security practices, I'm not sure how that's an improvement

Otherwise we are breaking things to "fix" something that doesn't "fix" anything. if someone is MITMing my lan, it doesn't matter whether my router is TLS or not. it's compromised

Of those,

1) was a USAF aircraft, a 2-engine Bombardier aircraft. Despite the name, this is a small civilian jetliner. "Loud bang" and engine failure in cruise. "Because the warning signal did not immediately light up for the catastrophically damaged left engine — it took several seconds for its RPMs to drop below the point that would have triggered the signal — the crew didn’t immediately know which engine had blown. The pilots thought the right engine had experienced the emergency, leading them to shut it down instead of the left one. The shutdown meant the plane now had no engines operating, and happened relatively quickly, about 24 seconds after the fan blade broke." A restart of the wrong engine was attempted while the good engine was kept shut down.

2) is a well known disaster. "The aircraft was on a scheduled flight from London Heathrow Airport to Belfast International Airport when a fan blade broke in the left engine, disrupting the air conditioning and filling the cabin with smoke. The pilots believed this indicated a fault in the right engine, since earlier models of the 737 ventilated the cabin from the right, and they were unaware that the 737-400 used a different system. The pilots mistakenly shut down the functioning engine. They selected full thrust from the malfunctioning one and this increased its fuel supply, causing it to catch fire. Of the 126 people aboard, 47 died and 74 sustained serious injuries."

3) is from 1969, and is something of a period piece. This plane had three pilots; two in seats with controls, and a third one as "pilot in command" supervising but with no access to the controls. His comment, afterward, was “It is perhaps not quite correct to be ultimately responsible for the safe handling of an aircraft in an emergency unless occupying a seat from where this can be done. I feel, somehow, that had I been occupying either of the pilot’s seats I might have reacted differently; on the other hand, it is possible that had I not been present the two pilots might also have reacted differently.” That strange setup may have been a holdover from the British early WWII "aircraft commander" concept. This was borrowed from naval practice, where the officer of the deck tells the junior people who are actually driving the ship what to do. It turned out to be a terrible idea in the air, where things happened faster. But somehow British United Airways was doing it in 1969. Nobody questioned the pilot in command deciding, wrongly, which engine had failed.
This seems solvable.

Most of the phones are used with SIM cards and have non zero balance. For instance we might make a law that the last $5 from cell phone subscription plan can be spent only on emergency calls, nothing else. This will make sure that any phone in active use will have enough balance to make couple of emergency calls.

Proving identity can be as easy as scanning your fingerprint twice to unlock the phone and then confirm identity proving operation in crypto wallet.

And we can still process calls to 911 without identity or payment but only if we have enough capacity to do so.

They are useless unless the regulation lines their pockets along with it seems the Court System. The US will bring down the world with it based upon how the Supreme Court Legalized bribing.

The right model depends on the specific use-case. One should always robustly test available technology before committing to a solution.

eg summarization of scientific articles, cooking blog posts, news articles, and racing events are all completely different use-cases. A fine-tuned GPT2 may or may not meet the performance of GPT4, but I would bet the out-of-the-box GPT4 performance beats GPT2. On the other hand, one also needs to consider the cost of GPT2 vs GPT4 against the quality-sensitivity of the particular use-case.

The big deal about GPT4 is it does many novel tasks very well with a fairly cheap usage-based pricing model, zero infrastructure or fine-tuning required. Businesses like this.
Sounds already too complex for me.

I wrote my post as Gemtext (the Gemini markdown) and wrote a python script that convert it to HTML and generate an index page.

Also, I put the CSS in each page because I’ve 42 lines of CSS and I did the math to show that having 42 more lines in each file would never cost more than having a second http request.

Honestly, it was a lot simpler than expected, without using any python library or any template. The hardest part was generating the email to send to the list. I spent month analysing different frameworks, different static site generators. I spent week trying to find a good CSS.

According to the git history, it took me 2 weeks of hacking to get it done including importing 18 years of Wordpress history. And without having to learn anything because it was straight python. And the best of all is that I can easily change/correct if I’ve a bug. It’s my code.

We, computer scientists, forgot completely that we could simply code adhoc solutions instead of trying to reuse everything. We take more time to learn and adapt than to do.

I've always noticed it carefully packed and stacked on site. The epoxy coated rebar is usually formed and connected into structures that are placed/suspended in the forms or roadway. The epoxy is also very durable.
It is simple, both templating and hot-reloading are fairly common programing concepts, neither are uncommon or esoteric when it comes to web development.

The specific implementation is irrelevant, you could use any other piece of software to achieve it.
I'm using it for hobby development, which is more or less serious. Most useful cases I found:

1. API, concepts, etc docs with explanation. Much faster then googling then scrolling through tons of texts with blinking adds

2. Write simple things that I don't want to think about. Like in Python process all files in a directory, follow the links. Saves time.

3. Try things I don't know how to do. The recent was checking if user pressed a key without blocking in Python. Nontrivial, but possible. We went through several options till found the one which works on Ubuntu.

So, it's useful, no regrets about subscribing. Funny thing I'm using it working on toy GPT
If only you were so lucky, Mastodon admins are way worse.

Not only might they mod at will in the way reddit mods do, Mastodon admins take it several steps further by bothering other instance mods about their moderation. And then yet another step: whom they federate with. They'll form little secret discord channels where they gather and form cancellation pacts on entire instances, based on a whim.
Congress has been doing climate and environmental regulation since Nixon. However in 1998 the Senate killed the Kyoto protocol (even though it was signed by the Clinton administration) and in 2001 the Bush administration became increasingly hostile towards any climate regulation. This supreme court case is simply yet another governing body standing in the way of congress to write and maintain climate and environmental regulation.

Don't blame this on the congress. Doing so is an ahistorical timeline.
Behlendorf's comment in that thread seems to be talking about linux integration. My point was this is an older issue, going back to the Sun days. See for instance this thread in where McVoy complains about the same issue! https://www.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2021-February/023013.htm...
It seems great across an org now. I can quickly answer the question of is anyone using something across 1000 repos.
Looks very cool, but why? Unlike many other applications of SDFs, for this particular one a traditional rasterization seems more appropriate.

The polyhedron being rendered only has 32 vertices and 60 triangles. The indexed mesh gonna take 744 bytes of VRAM with FP32 coordinates and uint16_t indices, which can be reduced to 552 bytes by using FP16 coordinates. That’s less data than the GLSL source code to compute and render the SDF. Also, if MSAA is enabled rasterization will deliver better visual quality.
There's already been "synthetic organisms" built ... Start with the DNA of a simple organism, edit the genetic code, then synthesize this new DNA and insert into a host cell who's DNA has been removed.

I think we're still a long way from designing an organism from scratch though, as opposed to "editing" an existing one.
Or Apple is much, much better at managing RAM.
Theatre rehearsals for project planning and delivery: start with script readthroughs, move on to blocking with only the required actors, bring in the technical infra as it is built (integrating tech first without actors and later with), finally doing a few complete run throughs without a (paying) audience. Opening night="ship it!", and at the end of every run, tear it all down and start again from the top...

Interesting. The readme says every new LTO-9 tape needs initialized before it is used for the first time, and that takes anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours.

I presume this tool can't decrease that time for an individual tape, but it decreases the total time with a huge degree of parallelism.

I wonder, what is that degree of parallelism? That is, how many tapes can be initialized at once? I presume it's large but I'm not familiar with 'tape libraries'.

Also, to the author: have you thought about putting an explicit license on your script?
That this is at the top of hn boggles my mind. It's a new generation I guess.
"production" at home on Debian 11, previously on FreeBSD 10-13. The weirdest gotcha has been related to sending encrypted raw snapshots to remote machines[0],[1]. These have been the first instabilities I had with ZFS in roughly 15 years around the filesystem since switching to native encryption this year. Native encryption seems to be barely stable for production use; no actual data corruption but automatic synchronization (I use znapzend) was breaking frequently. Recent kernel updates fixed my problem although some of the bug reports are still open. I only moved on from FreeBSD because of more familiarity with Linux.

A slightly annoying property of snapshots and clones is the inability to fully re-root a tree of snapshots, e.g. permanently split a clone from its original source and allow first-class send/receive from that clone. The snapshot which originated the clone needs to stick around forever[2]. This prevents a typical virtual machine imagine process of keeping a base image up to date over time that VMs can be cloned from when desired and eventually removing the storage used by the original base image after e.g. several OS upgrades.

I don't have any big performance requirements and most file storage is throughput based on spinning disks which can easily saturate the gigabit network.

I also use ZFS on my laptop's SSD under Ubuntu with about 1GB/s performance and no shortage of IOPS and the ability to send snapshots off to the backup system which is pretty nice. Ubuntu is going backwards on support for ZFS and native encryption uses a hacky intermediate key under LUKS, but it works.

This is an instance of the dangers of LLM. Because you (self-admittedly) know nothing about the language or codebase, you have no idea the semantically correct way to do things, so if GPT tells you to metaphorically jump off a cliff, you won’t know that it isn’t the right thing to do.

I've dealt with extreme boredom and dissatisfaction and changed professions (albeit from software to information security) and after years I am again facing the same issues. I feel like there may be deeper problems here. In retrospect, while a career change hasn't damaged my career prospects, (on the contrary, it seems like I am probably more employable) I certainly don't have as much experience in either field as I would have if I had just stuck to one (although, through diligence, I have kept on top of my software skills, at least in my particular set of niches). As such, I can't necessarily recommend pursuing this type of solution to your particular problem (although medicine definitely seems distinctly different to tech so maybe it WILL solve the problem).

I guess what I'm trying to say is, maybe consider other options such as trying to completely understand the root cause for your dissatisfaction and extreme boredom. Believe me, I know this isn't easy, but at this point I am at a loss for other options and feel like I must figure out exactly what causes me to feel like this in order to avoid having this happen a third time.
So what do you suggest? Be scared everyday of the impending doom that awaits us inevitably (or maybe not in the end)? Is that a good way to live life?

Seems risky and not worth it over a fluff question that is unlikely to factor into the decision to hire you or not. Lying is grounds for termination after getting the job if you’re caught. You might underestimate the ease of lying in an interview, if you aren’t prepared for followup questions or a conversation. Speaking personally, it does seem a lot more unethical than a rosy half-truth to me. I can be inspired by the mission and problems and also interested in the salary & resume filling aspects at the same time. Leaving some of them out is quite different from fabricating experiences. I somewhat doubt that lying will help you in the long term, giving a great answer for this conflict question won’t hide any technical gaps.
