(Render CEO) Funny story. I first used Netlify in 2017 after being thwarted repeatedly by S3+Cloudfront deploy hacks. I loved the product so much I became a vocal advocate and eventually decided to build the same DX for the entire application stack. When Render first launched, it didn't have static sites because we assumed developers would just use Netlify with their Render backend; unfortunately at the time (but fortunately these days) our customers have always wanted everything under one roof, so I begrudgingly built static sites into Render in late 2018.

However, to this day, Netlify's static site product remains ahead of Render, and we haven't invested as heavily in it as other products in our portfolio. Why? Because static site hosting is now a commoditized market, and we can differentiate ourselves better elsewhere. Netlify sees this too and is changing course accordingly (based on bobfunk/Matt's comment above). I know they will be successful, and they deserve all the good things that come their way because they've materially advanced web development over the last several years (even inspiring ZEIT to pivot into Next.js+Vercel).

Jared: I think your beef might actually be with serverless compute and the restrictions that come with it, especially when vendors try to force it down developers' throats as the only way to build apps. The A in JAM can (and often should) be a long running server instead of a thin Lambda shim, but Netlify is a lot less guilty of pushing this narrative compared to their peers.
That is just reading out the equation in English. My question is, why is it so?
Interesting project. Mermaid has an experimental syntax for timelines too. You might want to look at it for ideas.

I like hydro but this is not at all what people I know working in this field believe to be true.
> If weed is illegal and the law is enforced then fewer people will use it and fewer will become addicted. That might not "solve" the problem but it helps.

Enforcing the law is not without costs, financial and social. We’ve tested this theory, and it does not help in net.

Not related to the story of scaling the tech but rather to the IP business in 2023:

I’m not affiliated with any of these services, but my goto has been ip4.me, ip6.me, and ip6only.me because they’re short and memorable and because they acknowledge the IPv4/IPv6 split. The first two domains give you your v4 and v6 IP respectively and the latter only resolves over IPv6 (useful to ensure your IPv6 is off when using a VPN). You can tack on /api to any of them to get a plaintext response.

Nuclear power plants now run more than 50 years. We are pushing some to 80 years already.

As someone whose first language was BASIC, which led me down a path that eventually culminated in a CS Ph.D, I have also not been a fan of that quote.

It implies that Dijkstra was a terrible educator who could only truly teach blank minds. For all his imagination and creativity on theoretical CS and math, he was very rigid in other ways. Imagine a history professor saying that students who have been exposed to various myths and ideologies are mentally mutilated beyond hope, or a literature professor saying that students who have been exposed to pop culture retellings of the classics are mentally mutilated beyond hope.

Remember that Dijkstra looked down on anyone who wrote using word processors, because he thought any academic should be able to work out their argument in their head and just write it down. Eventually he came to even reject the mechanical typewriter.
No it doesn’t. This is very very very settled science. Billions of people hVe been smoking the reefer for Millenia.

Withdrawing from alcohol has well documented, and extremely dangerous physical side effects (this is why it’s done in a hospital when possible). cami is does not.
You’re being voted down at the moment, but I’m not sure why.

I think we should view alcohol and cannabis very similarly. Both are potentially addictive and both can seriously harm a person’s life and family.

Both require us to address the same question: how do we handle addictive substances in society?

If made legal, then how do we navigate the normalization of a substance which can quite literally ruin a life? It prohibited, how do you manage the safety concerns and crime we know will stem from the ceaseless demand for drugs which are unregulated? How do we manage education in either case?

In this sense, alcohol and cannabis are the same thing with the same problems attached.
Even in absence of a legally binding contract signing an agreement to terms would be useful for all board members.

If the problem is that no such terms exist, well that's step 1.
I never really got stack overflow. When I look for something I know, I find all the most upvoted answers kinda bad and/or suboptimal. Sometimes look like written by experienced beginners.
Alcohol has greater cultural and historical significance than marijuana does as context, despite killing 3 million people each year.

Claiming it's okay to lose a hand because you couldn't stop from losing a leg has never been a very sound argument. There's better premises for keeping marijuana legal than pointing to alcohol.
Instead of proposing cross-continent distribution lines, just build more small regional renewable sources... unlike nuclear, their costs keep going down. Smaller renewable solar and wind sources with battery storage are perfectly fine, and the correlation in heat with sun works to reduce the need for storage capacity.

Capacity factor does not address reliability or emergency planning...
That reactor could last until 2100.

making it illegal also makes it less likely someone will seek treatment if they're having problems, we've made this mistake time and time again
It’s brings a lot confidence that a nuclear power was built through a legal loophole.
It didn’t work out well for marijuana, either, which isn’t surprising because alcohol has much more of the features the pro-prohibition argument relies on and yet alcohol prohibition was a disaster.
Ask HN: Legitimacy/sensibility of digital art NFTs – authorization
Usage of NFTs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token) as collectibles for digital art seems meaningful only if such NFTs are valued only when it is known that the author of the work inside the NFT has authorized the creation of this NFT.

The simple way to implement NFT authorization is to require that the NFT contains a statement signed by the author of the work that the NFT is authorized. This seems to work only when the work is well-known enough: there is a robust consensus on "who the author is", that is, the way to verify the signature; and if the work is less known, unauthorized NFTs can be created with nobody noticing.

Is there a way to certify authorization of an NFT when the work is less known and thus establishing authorship is impossible through consensus?

Also, how much commonly accepted is the described way of NFT authorization for well-known works? How much population disregards NFT authorization, and why? And I also wonder why people use NFTs at all for non-well-known works.
MJ was quite literally ruining my life. Quitting was the best thing I ever did.

I was burnt out of my job and used marijuana to cope. New job and scenery were key to this quit.
Hmm… moon circumference is 10Mm, Australia width is 4Mm, so you can lay 2½ Australias end-to-end when wrapping them around. Figuring out any 2D tessellation is left as an exercise for the reader. But the process of wrapping them… well, the biggest earthquakes on record only damaged half a dozen buildings and structures, to a few million dollars’ damage; this process might just cause rather a lot more. Like a zillion Australias divided by a Tahiti or so, that many times as much. Yeah. It’ll surely also depend on what depth you peel the Australias at.
I've wanted something like this for a very long time and made lots of half-hearted attempts.

Thank you.
I'm getting a similar impression. This seems like a classic case of blaming the tools rather than figuring out the right tool to use. I have a suspicion that their journey isn't over.
Literally a link to a dox of a bunch of people. This is obviously not OK. Very appropriate for a domain name including the word "crime" though.
> I'm not arguing that weed should be illegal, only that making something illegal reduces its use.

That sounds logical, but empirical evidence > logic.
> Nuclear power is held to too high of a standard to really be a viable source of power, especially in a democracy

Don’t tell that to France.
Nice. It reminds me of when Much Music used to do standing interviews with the camera on an angle, and rocking back and forth.

I think then it was meant to make it seem more spontaneous, but really it just seemed like the camera person was drunk.

This is a great post, showing the unintended consequences of design.

I worked in a modern art museum as security. I had someone ask me is it was art or a bench. "Just a bench". There were some random wood art in the floor of that room.

In one exhibit there was an art teeter-totter, that had a prominent sign on a post not to sit. This sign was noticed by the woman who placed her toddler on one side before I interjected with an "excuse me". She turned beet red. We all want to...

That job was boring but had its moments.
Many mega corps have a culture of bullying the vendors. That can easily spill over to a single interaction.
Dams still get built for non-power reasons, to manage water supplies, so adding turbines (and floating solar PV) to them might make sense, but yes I think we're now at the point where new hydro purely for energy production is going to struggle to make a case for itself against just deploying renewables and batteries and interconnects.

edit: to add some context re the Hoover dam:

> Upon becoming Secretary of Commerce in 1921, Hoover proposed the construction of a dam on the Colorado River. In addition to flood control and irrigation, it would provide a dependable supply of water for Los Angeles and Southern California.
I'd pay to be left alone with my thoughts.
> By your logic, it's futile to ban harmful products, which is a weird take.

How is that weird? Maybe try ban cigarette and alcohol first see if it works?

I personally don't take any substances except coffee. Really wondering all those ppl who r advocating for banning weed smoke or drink alcohol personally?
>But quitting is really hard. I'd successfully exhaust my supply, but there's always bowl- and grinder-scrapings. After a night or two of smoking tar and dust, "fuck it", I'd find some more.

I've found my attempts to quit go better when I actually have a large supply of it that I'm consciously choosing not to indulge in. When your supply is exhausted your brain goes into a bit of a panic mode about it and you can't think rationally about how/why you're quitting.
no sense in building out the functional part of the business if the demo proves the business doesn't work.
I’ve started using “defect” instead of bug for these reasons. The “bug” euphemism implies the software was once correct, but then problems crawled in from somewhere external to infest the otherwise good software.

That’s really not how 99% of software problems happen. They are defects because the software was defective from the moment it was conceptualized or typed in.

“Bug” tries to soften/downplay the developer’s role in producing a defective program.
They are and they aren’t. They get the get job done but you are definitely not getting full-spectrum terpenes.
If this can be valuable to anybody else, here is an improved version of OP's prompt that will perform better than the one in the original article (it fixes every mistake plus punctuation and capitalization), with chatgpt-3.5-turbo-16k at a temperature of 0.7.

I find that using the wording in the OP's article seems to create fewer sycophantic corrections than my previous approach, so that's a win. However the structure of my prompt seems to work better. So here's a combined result.

System prompt:

```

The following English transcription is the output of a poor speech recognition system. Please correct its errors and reply with the corrected version without any preamble.

Some of the uncommon words that the speech recognition system probably misspelled are:
["U2F", "CTAP", "FIDO", "CTAP2", "JSON", "FIDO2", "Web Authn", "bearer token", "hash", "phishing", "RP ID", "passkey", "caBLE"]
If those words are present and misspelled, please fix their spelling.

Please fix the spelling, grammar, any inconsistencies and transcription errors in each sentence.

```

Note: to improve performance, I also recommend:

- providing the model with a before-and-after example, by using the USER and ASSISTANT roles to roleplay the whole thing (not putting the example in SYSTEM!)

- providing the source text as a CSV or JSON, and asking the model to provide JSON as the output.

- prefixing the Assistant response with an Assistant reminder of the instruction, like this:

ASSISTANT

```

Return a corrected version with correct English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Correction (as JSON):

This is how "drug education" has failed us.

The status quo is "drugs are bad, m'kay?" and "drinking is fine, everybody does it, just don't drive when drunk".

The way forward should be understanding the following:

* Let's use the word "drug" for any compound that alters your state of mind for recreational purposes.
* Some of these drugs have medical value, but in this context it is about recreational use.
* Everybody is different in how they respond to a drug
* Most drugs are dangerous when consumed to excess
* Most drugs can impair your thinking and should not be used in unsafe conditions
* Some drugs can be dangerous due to adulterants (e.g., fentanyl)
* One should be mindful in how they consume drugs (not under peer pressure, not appropriate time/place, etc)
* If you are going to use a drug, treat it as dessert rather than a meal

* Addiction is possible/likely when one consumes a drug frequently in a short amount of time, or by consistent use of it
* Addiction can be overcome but it requires serious effort and can be *very* discomforting
* The first high is often the "best", and trying to capture that again can lead to addiction
* If you think you have a problem with drugs, you probably do, and should seek help in addressing your problem
* If you are an addict and you break your addiction you cannot return even once to using again

I'm sure there's room for improvement there, but it's a start.

Edit: tweaked a tad based on input
Minecraft Java Edition usually runs at user permissions without sandboxing. These permissions carry forward into Java mods - modloaders generally do not attempt to further lock down mods they load, because that's contrary to the spirit of game modification. So if you get pwned by this, it's game over. All your personal information is compromised and the attacker will be able to remain persistent in all sorts of very banal ways.

Most Minecraft servers run in virtual machines. If the server only handles Minecraft then the worst the attacker can do is use the server to run further attacks elsewhere. That will get you a nasty call from your host's abuse desk[0] but that damage can be contained by rebuilding the server from known-good backups[1] and updated versions of the mods you're running.

Ironically the one environment that wouldn't be immediately pwnable with this would be Pojav Launcher, which is specifically designed to load Java Edition onto iPads using developer debugging permissions. At worst it'd be a beachhead for further attempts to jailbreak your iPad without your knowledge. But that's generally a little too high risk for "turning kids playing Minceraft into a botnet".

[0] If you're lucky, it's the EC2 abuse desk. If you're unlucky, it's the GCP abuse desk.

[1] If you don't have backups you MIIIIGHT be able to get away with copying the world file as long as you only ever load it on a patched Minecraft server and there isn't some kind of persistence vuln in the NBT handling code of Minecraft.
Actually I wasn't, but if this can be useful to GP I shared my actual prompt in a follow-up comment.

I would be interested to see if LLama2 can perform a similar task.
The problem is that you are comparing a hypothetical with a proven system. Nuclear works, and works in large scale in a lot of places - heavy users include France, Lithuania, Sweden and Belgium.

One can argue about costs, but costs are at least low enough to be viable, otherwise these countries couldn't exist as they do. You can say that the costs are being externalized to taxes or some other place, but these societies are being able to absorb these costs in aggregate. Nuclear might not be cheaper than gas and oil, but it's possible to build a modern industrial society with nuclear.

Now contrast with green hydrogen generation and battery storage, for instance. These approaches aren't working in country-level scales anywhere. We compare hypotheticals with systems that, despite problems, costs and limitations, are known to work.
but there's a lot of data to counter this as well (the age gap being quite small in the US for example), for much of human history older men have preferred younger women... and young women didn't typically have much say in the matter

What common applications commonly support SRV? I can't load a HTTPS in a modern web browser on a non-443 port without explicitly specifying it for example.
You don't understand the thermodynamics of the situation. Fuel cells/electrolyzers are electrochemical systems with theoretically the same efficiency as batteries. If the alternative is just battery, then both have the same fundamental limitations. You are spending more energy than you are get back. At best, you are saying that for now, there is a more efficient way of doing it. But in the long run, that advantage will disappear.

But the real point is that you can power things with wind or solar energy without depending on fossil fuels. While you can do this with both batteries and hydrogen, you avoid the heavy weight and the resource requirements if you go with the latter. You need only just wind, solar and water in order to create an an energy storage system. That puts the cost at potentially very close to zero. In the long-run, it likely will approach zero, just like how wind and solar power itself plunged in cost once they scaled up. As a result, it is likely going to be the dominant solution for most transportation needs.
The risks with pot and psychedelics are less easily quantifiable than with opiates, meth, etc. There are no bodies, which of course is good. But, leaving aside the acute or chronic psychosis cases, people who overuse these substances often end up depleted in characteristic ways.
Texas spot prices recently peaked at 9,000$/MWh briefly that’s in no way what I am talking about.

4c/KWh is the minimum additional cost across 50 years ignoring interest not the total cost of this power. In other words if inflation adjusted electricity would have been X$/kWh in 2070 it’s now at least X + 4c / kWh whatever the baseline would have been. Europes average electricity prices for the year aren’t that far above average, across 50 years it’s a tiny blip by comparison.
It’s true, though.
The never ending random walk of front end / back stack configurations suggests there might be some missing constraint. This allows a whole family of near equivalent approaches (at least superficially) but it fails to select the proverbial "right tool for the job" and let us move on to other challenges.

Use cases have not changed dramatically in the past decade yet there is constant churn. Some of it may be self-excited and basically just self-reinforcing fads, manias and other such noise which create its their own reality.

But some of it maybe due to some sort of degeneracy (seeking an optimum around a flat region). Maybe people ignore or poorly evaluate an important dimension (e.g complexity, long term mantainance costs etc) that if taken properly into account would reduce the ambiguity.

In any case this never ending debate needs to get a bit deeper to avoid going around in endless circles. It does not reflect well on the ability of the entire community to allocate resources in some thoughtful manner.
