MMS has been exorbitantly, insanely expensive and with extremely high failure rates in much of the world until...

... actually that's still the case in varying degrees and locations. And once you've got great market penetration in an area, there's little to no reason to switch unless the competition is noticeably better, which MMS really has no claim to.
You are correct, of course, but to me HN is more similar to a bbPHP forum than Facebook or Twitter. (Forums are themselves central-platform social media sites, but to me they are quite different.)
I think the reference to Jefferson, as if modern lobbying is a foundation of US Democracy, is extraordinarily distasteful.

Here are some entire books written by people who studied this issue in great depth:

"The Business of America is Lobbying: How Corporations Became Politicized and Politics Became More Corporate" by Lee Drutman: In this book, Drutman explains how and why corporations became so invested in influencing politics, and what that means for the future of American democracy.

"Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress--and a Plan to Stop It" by Lawrence Lessig: This book by a prominent legal scholar and activist provides a comprehensive analysis of the influence of money on politics and proposes innovative solutions for reform.

"So Damn Much Money: The Triumph of Lobbying and the Corrosion of American Government" by Robert G. Kaiser: A detailed look at the rise of the lobbying industry in Washington and its impact on American democracy.

This shit is killing people, no exaggeration. The rise in inequality over the last 50 years is rotting America's heart and soul out. US style lobbying is right at the center of it.

The US would have to care to enforce it first.
> will certainly not come (...) because nobody will hear them

> Restricting free speech only to areas where it can't be heared (sic) isn't free speech.

You missed the part where I said you can invite others and use that space to organize opposition. Was that intentional?

Also, I can't believe that you are making me say it:

- There is no global/universal definition of what is Free Speech.

- You don't get to decide what is or not "Free Speech".

- Even in the US, "Protection of Free Speech" is only about avoid persecution from the Government, not about being able to say whatever crap you want without consequences.

God, even for a conservative like me, this shit is tiring...
Neat implementation of semantic cache for GPT4
This should be the reason why these sites should no longer exist. The IRS should have this as a built-in service. Or better yet, return-free filing like most other large economy countries.
too bad the choice isnt ours and we've long seen how other audiences in other media have chosen. People simply don't care about those things as a majority
> I wouldn't say Reddit is user hostile

Reddit has been _user_ hostile for over a decade. There's nothing particularly hostile about charging for API access, but that breaks Apollo, which _moderators_ love, which is why we're suddenly actually seeing a backlash.

Its on tax companies to do the due diligence on the users part to make sure they do not leak any taxpayer information. Its private information!

And meta and google analytics means there is data exchange, why do they want to do any "analytics" on people's personal data? Remove any and all analytics on tax websites.

Why are you straight up attacking the people by saying "Most people here in the comments clearly didn't read the article". They clearly did, understand and have full right to ask questions.
I'm beginning to notice that Google seems to be favoring Google products in search quite a bit.

It's kinda the Microsoft 1999 vibe
Fun fact about the 360, MS bought a bunch of PowerMac G5 towers and installed a PPC build of Windows XP on them to turn them into Xbox 360 dev kits. Makes sense because those were the most readily available and most cost effective PPC boxes at the time, but kind of funny.
Well the definition of a sale is usually the exchange of a commodity for money.

When its information that can be copied it would usually be called sharing (because both parties still have what they started with, but both have 'more' as they have shared with the other).

If you are arguing semantics, sale is probably the wrong term and 'sharing' is probably more accurate.
Employers are customers, not consumers. That word has a specific meaning in the industry and you are using it incorrectly.
Since the majority of the text I produce these days is rendered as markdown before being shown to a reader, I've taken to putting newlines after periods. It makes prose much easier to edit with a linewise-thinking code editor, and the reader doesn't notice.

After developing this habit, I now personally find it also easier to skim text with the newlines shown because I know that the beginning of the line is also the beginning of the sentence.
Sporadic thoughts:

I'm not impressed with Sony's tantrums over this, they've been throwing money around for exclusivity for years, ranging from exclusive content in major titles (Destiny and CoD have often been 'definitive' on PlayStation) to outright title exclusivity.

I'm probably not a good source of opinion on this, Acti-Blizz has become a toxic company that doesn't really make games I like anymore, and I resent them for holding Heretic and Hexen hostage even during this renaissance of throw back FPSs.. there's too much money to be made elsewhere for them to do something like that.. maybe I'm being suckered but seeing Phil in that Hexen tshirt made me hopeful. I'm also an old and bitter Warcraft RTS fan, they ignored RTS Warcraft entirely for years after WoW became their focus, and when they finally did give Warcraft III attention they completely destroyed the community and arguably made the game worse for everybody. They could have done absolutely nothing and everything would be better!

In short, unless I was a big fan of their current offerings (I am not) I don't see how Microsoft could possibly make things worse, so I'm slightly optimistic about the changes this acquisition will bring. Worst case scenario the dumpster fire gets bigger. I'm sure people who love the current offerings have very different feelings about this.
As you are no doubt aware, if you're evaluating if a thing is good or bad you have to consider its net effect, not a couple isolated examples. This is just a "smoking feels good and well I didn't get lung cancer" argument.
I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being when I was about 21 and I remember thinking it was utterly boring and pointless. I just didn't get it. Maybe I was too young?
I believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it used OAuth for that. See this line:

Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.
So they should add that mutating arguments during object construction may lead to not-so-successfully constructed (invalid) object.

The root cause can be different per type of cancer, see for example the landmark TCGA/PCAWG paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-1969-6

Figure 2 shows the different mutations present in cells in a variety of cancers carry. These genes have a variety of functions. The DNA of cancer cells from different tumor types is different, and TP53, the gene featured in OP, is never mutated in some cancer types. In the end the discussion is a little semantic (what defines a different disease), but if the prognosis, treatment, and molecular mechanisms behind different types of cancers are different, I would consider it fair to consider them different diseases.

Teach them a useful lifeskill like plumbing or HVAC, as there won’t be anyone to do it when they’re on their own.

Your preferred stack will be obsolete before they finish elementary school anyway.
Haha, had the same problem. Don't even mind the doves, would gladly build them a place to live myself. But the early morning wake up alarm they create is too much.
In my opinion, 2% is not too low, 2% is too high.

Inflation only serves to create profit for industry. The only inflation target I propose is 0%.

Just think about it, why don’t they consider a 0% inflation a stable economy? And why is 0% inflation a bad thing?
Interesting to note that a lot of the objects in those orbits are probably debris from their own launches because they have been very active launching stuff in those orbits. Also, they probably aren't the most stable orbits so that means most of the debris is recent too. Which points the finger at them as well.
How do you meter execution duration for billing?
I'm researching the best ways to collect the execution duration of containers/serverless workloads for billing and chargeback use cases. Per second granularity, like AWS CPU-Hours. I'm finding that most engineers' journeys start with listening to start/stop events and calculating the delta between those lifecycle events. But over time, they find it challenging to handle lost events or long-running processes. It's also not always fair to customers when a container takes longer to start (cold start) or stop.

So far, I have heard two primary ways: 1. Lifecycle events like start/stop, 2. Heartbeat-style pinging.
I summarized them in this blog post: https://openmeter.io/blog/how-to-meter-workload-execution-duration

I would love to iterate on the post based on your thoughts and include other ways if any.
How do you meter container/serverless execution duration for billing?
It was always pretty clear that something would have to get adjusted the day Stephane left the company, because it's a major project for Canonical and Stephane preferred to run some of the infrastructure himself. From his own comments in the forum:

"In theory Ubuntu Discourse should be more reliable in that it’s run by Canonical IS who has a 24/7 team of people looking after services unlike this forum where I’m the one running the infrastructure and dealing with outages."

Nothing is changing about how in the open LXD is developed.

Someone in Las Vegas last month lost $10,000. For the last 7 years someone has religiously purchased lottery tickets, never winning. Was gambling good for them?

"and they will think (correctly, I would say) that you care more about your social media stances than you care about their friendship."

Poor reasoning. "We should go do hard drugs together, we're friends, right?", "You should just let me have sex with you, we're friends right?".

Using friendship as a cudgel is disgusting, and quite frankly, unfriendly. The above examples are extreme, but there is a cost to everything.

Pragmatic-ism cuts both ways.
>go outside to explore the real world in the same way and get bored much faster. Why is that?

you don't have to exert any physical effort in a video game. once physical exercise comes into play, the brain calculates an "is this worth it" equation. i'm guessing most decide it's not.
Mitigation for China-Based Threat Actor Activity
“Some” O’Reilly books aside, any professionally designed book published for the last hundred years on the shelves of anyone reading this, as well as every magazine and newspaper, uses single-spaced sentences.

That HTML collapses multiple spaces is a feature, not a bug. It means you can, if you want, double-space sentences while authoring/editing your source files and the result will still come out “correct” (according to settled practice).
> And bcachefs was dramatically higher performance than ZFS

Would you care to go into some specifics?

On my middle of the road machines, the limiting factor has always been the drive. Encrypted ZFS has the same transfer speeds as unencrypted ext4, as tested with fio.

My best machine is a zen 3 u laptop, so pcie 3 with a samsung 990 nvme drive. It reads and writes at over 2 GB/s.
If the Five Whys appeals to you, you might also like the "Thinking Process Tools" of Goldratt's Theory of Constraints.

It's most likely e2e up until the moment LEO requests information on a particular user and then Meta updates your app to a trojaned version, that just APPEARS E2E.
Well, this is good news. Rate rises might slow, but I wouldn't expect them to come down all that quickly based on our last fight with inflation in the 1980s. The era of zero interest rates are probably over for good. That's probably a good thing, but VCs won't be playing nearly as fast and loose with funding as they were over the past decade.
> That being said, I think climate activists need to have their "The Day After" moment, but the problem is that they have to distort science just enough to have a movie where they show _westerners_ taking the blunt of the damage.

We've had so many already. Day after tomorrow, snow piercer, don't look up, etc and that's not including all the 'documentaries'.

Isn't it amazing how mankind is always forced into a state of existential angst by the people in power. Nuclear winter to globalcooling to ozone to hiv to global terrorism to global warming. Will an asteroid end life on earth? Who cares? Life goes on.
The standard way is manually until there's enough experience to automate some of it away. Understanding the actual problem first is a direct step toward a robust solution to the actual problem.
Building a non-trivial process is a process. Good luck.
crypto/blockchain people are pitching about second brain with LLM lately. It is either second brain, copilot, companion or works at a speed of thoughts.
There a couple of communities I miss (mostly small ones) like my city/state subs and a few games but yeah, I'm surprised at how quickly I flipped off that switch. I've played with Lemmy some but there just isn't much content there (that I care about). I followed the "memes" "subreddit" (literally no idea what they are called) to see more content and then very quickly remembered why I had purged my Reddit subs of stuff like that a long time ago.

> In practice being a true extent-based filesystem with compression and snapshotting is one of bcachefs's distinguishing features (snapshotting is rather obvious in a block-based system by comparison). Other systems work similarly at a high level but the details are of course quite different in practice.

How do bcachefs' extents differ from ZFS's logical blocks (whose size are controlled by the dataset's recordsize property) and how do bcachefs' blocks differ from ZFS's physical blocks (whose size granularity are controlled by the ZFS pool's ashift property)?
But is there really a good reason? The only difference is that one tries to make you buy something and the other tries to make you do something. It works in the same way, an entity trying to propagate their agenda.
The horrible contrast ratio on that site doesn't bode well for the accessibility of the typeface.

Nobody likes change. As time goes by the opportunities for astronomy will grow larger than what is lost. I'd be surprised if there isn't a backdoor plan within SpaceX to use the backside of their fleet as a giant outward facing array.
as far as i can tell very few people want cryptocurrency to be illegal. what people do advocate for is KYC practices at crypto exchanges to protect customers from fraud.
Yes. And keywords!

It's like when people complain about "greedflation" and point to grocery stores gouging food prices, but then you look at the books for grocery stores and realize that they are basically running a charity the margins suck so bad.
Strange comment, Panic doesn't do a ton of products but what they make (or publish) is always high quality.
Huh, didn't consider that until now. I thought all the characters liked jazz and drank Cutty Sark because he thought it was cool.
I remember seeing an isochrone map of the time it would take to reach different parts of the world in 1900, with London as a start point. I can't remember the actual times but it took weeks to get to Australia, and then additional weeks to get into the interior (few road and railways at then).

It emphasized that travel to a foreign country, let alone emigrating, was massively more complex than today.
I'm sad to see Stephane leaving, but it's lost in me how his departure towards doing whatever else he wants to do suddenly transforms into LXD not being open?
- Why isn't Truth.social/Gab open for federation?

- Why doesn't Jordan Peterson (which I bought the book, watched the videos and love to rewatch destroying Cathy Newman) take his thinkspot.com platform and make a Mastodon version out of it?

I personally think it's the only bit that makes this article worth reading.

Instead of fantasizing a creative, insightful and genius solution, it shows a glimpse of how the real business world works.
People don't call out government competency nearly enough. Remember the Silicon Valley/First Republic catastrophe a few months ago? Contagion was fully contained, confidence restored, inflation is nearly on target with employment remaining rock solid. I wouldn't put it as pat "Biden did it", but Biden did everything in his power correctly, the Fed was fully vindicated, the bureaucrats at the FDIC did everything right, Congress did, uh, nothing wrong? It's a banner year for good government.
I've hosted embedding models on AWS Lambda (fair that this is a vendor, but 1 vs. 3), if you try an LLM with 1B+ parameters you will struggle, but if the difference between a light-weight BERT-like transformer and an LLM is only a few % of loss, why bother getting your credit card out?

Edit: another thought, skip lambda entirely and run the embedding job on the server as a background process, and use an on-disk vector store (lancedb)
And NVidia stock is up 3%. Must keep nvidia even higher to bring inflation down even lower
> Starlink satellites are making thousands of avoidance maneuvers as low Earth orbit becomes more crowded, feeding worries that a catastrophic impact is inevitable.

By "catastrophic", do they mean the loss of 1-2 satellites, or are they alluding to the well-known debris chain reaction scenario?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

Rather than say, the article switches to talking vaguely about some other concerns, and then wraps up with the final word being a PR statement that some concern is being taken care of in some unspecified way.

I suspect that the reader is left with the muddle-headed idea that there are some unclear and fairly innocuous concerns involving something about satellites, and a particular company is being very responsible in addressing these, in cooperation with experts who raised some issue, but other entrants to the market/space could be more a problem.

Also, the article doesn't say whose "a press release" is the one that the article uses to tell the reader what to think.
To save a click: this parody video presents a sequence of posts on fictional social media sites, in which the poster describes futilely switching to new sites in succession to avoid whatever issue the prior site presents. A narrator reads the contents of the posts.
"If you valued me as a friend, you wouldn't force me to use a communicator app.

IMO the best way to use it is for professional networking. Add the people you work with at your current job. If one of them (or you) leaves, you have a reasonable avenue to get in contact with them again, either for jobs or just catching up.
