This is something I've also wanted, but not understanding the technical challenges to implement it I really don't know if it's feasible for Spotify to take on. Similar solutions I've seen to this have been fully contained within one hardware product line. Like some bluetooth speakers of the same manufacturer can interconnect and play the same audio together, or things like amazon alexa.
It sounds like they want the same streaming music to play out of multiple devices in the same place at once. This is a very difficult synchronization problem, especially within a heterogenous device space. The user experience if they fail to really nail it would be very poor, and the potential benefit is not that big.
15+ Business Day Waits with Twilio
Hello everyone!
I recently built Byteflow out of frustration with dealing with SMS providers like Twilio, because they all require lengthy 15+ business day verification periods with human review, so instead of doing that I built Byteflow so that people can start sending messages without waiting.
The reason is because the extradition agreement didn't mention those charges, which is a technicality unfortunately. He is still be prosecuted for his financial crimes.
Regardless of their point of view, I don’t think you should ban someone for disagreeing with you, banning should have clear “why’s”, like distributing illegal content, spamming, etc., if you think that person is wrong, maybe it’s your chance to educate them, or maybe it’s ok that we have different views about things..
Thanks! You both gave me a new goal to reach.
That's an interesting idea, thank you, I'll read through the post.

EDIT: I found the post interesting but unfortunately these projects are in no way load-bearing. I'm happy to hear Filippo has made it work for himself but as he points out, the projects he works on are simply much better suited to sponsorship and retainer/consulting agreements. I wonder what he would recommend for newer or less-load-bearing projects.
Wonder how much of this is driven by the hundreds of millions of dollars of VC money put into stuff like vercel and similar.

All that complexity is not that useful imo.

If you need SSR you probably should pick the right tool for the job (not react) to begin with. If you need a simple static site you don’t need all this cruft either.

Am I wrong? I just don’t see where I’d use these tools and I’ve used them all before to try it out.

Fwiw my startup is keeping it simple with a go backend, sveltekit, and flutter iOS/android.
There's actually a PDF copy of the book linked in the readme of the GitHub repo that the post is about.

Government subsidized corn ethanol is an environmental disaster. If you hear it being brought up, you automatically assume the person is either confused or working for the corn lobby.

Cellulosic ethanol is an idea brought up as a solution to the problems of corn ethanol. Ironically, by the George W. Bush administration. Unfortunately, nothing has materialized in any meaningful quantity.

And FYI, they’d be subsidizing it heavily if any meaningful quantity of cellulosic ethanol could be produced. So bringing up that part doesn’t mean much. But cellulosic ethanol production never happened and so far there is no reason to believe it is possible.
Hadn't heard of qemu (in this context), I'll take a look, thank you!
Show HN: Turing RK1 – 32GB RAM and AI Accelerator
A year ago, we launched the Turing Pi2, a 4-node cluster computer with a unique modular and heterogeneous architecture. Despite the excitement, we faced a significant challenge: a shortage of supported Single Board Computers (SBCs), including the Raspberry Pi CM4 and NVIDIA Jetson modules.

In response, we made a promise to our community to deliver our own compute module, aiming to address the shortage and push the boundaries of what compute modules can achieve.

Today, we're thrilled to fulfill that promise with the introduction of the Turing RK1 Compute Module. The Turing RK1, a result of a year's worth of dedication and innovation, features 8 ARM CPU cores, up to 32 GB RAM, and a 6 TOPS AI accelerator. It's built on the RK3588 SoC and uses a 260-pin SODIMM form factor. Full specs here: https://docs.turingpi.com/docs/turing-rk1-specs-and-io-ports

Importantly, it's pin-compatible with NVIDIA Jetson and our Turing Pi2 cluster board.

We're also supporting Ubuntu 22.04 with the Linux kernel 5.15 LTS, providing our users with a stable, secure OS.

Our mission has always been to empower developers, makers, and creators. We're excited to see what you'll create with the Turing RK1.
Loved the reference to ‘dynamic programming’ in university. This is exactly what happened in mine and love to see the normal non-recursive version is just nicer.

Nice quip at the end as well :)
Oh I didn’t realize it was the author of the blogpost that also posted this summary. I thought someone copy pasted it because « it saves a click », as it sometimes happen!
We'll always need tiny cores, but it's worth noting that RISC-V can squeeze down to pretty small sizes and is so much nicer to use. Notably you can go smaller than a 68k or 8086.
Of course they will. Just like the discriminatory voter supression laws factor in race without ever mentioning race, under the "race-neutral" doctrine https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/06/supreme-co...
> Isn't it correct?

No. Intel isn't dead. They may be behind (for now) but they're definitely catching up and have in a way on the desktop.

It's not certain that Intel will die and AMD will for sure win. Competition is great.
I may be crazy, but I would love a functional language that compiles to LaTeX, BibTeX, and pgfplots--like the Elm language, but for typesetting. At least that way, once a document compiles, we could get some guarantees about its behavior, no matter what data we feed to it. Overflows would be handled however we define them, and the document would still produce something.

The reason I say this is because every document I produce in the TeX family needs to be tweaked slightly depending on the text and data I compile with it, or else it either won't compile or something will get visually screwed up. At least with strong typing I can get useful error messages and better control of the behavior throughout the whole document.
You should test yourself on your own use case (eg vector dimension, prefiltering, throughput, target latency). In my testing, using identical HNSW configs between OS and a purpose built vector DB, I saw 10x+ better performance with the vector DB, despite much smaller CPU usage for vector DB and even including internet latency for the vector DB (but not OS).

This may not matter if you are not doing high throughput / have tight latency requirements, but in my case, it did. Of course you should weigh that versus the convenience of preexisting ES/OS clusters and so on. You can also use ES/OS together with a separate vector DB. (these tradeoffs are, of course, what make a static benchmarking post like this one so hard to think about).
Wing tanks won't work for hydrogen, and wing tanks are essential for weight distribution and reducing load on the wing roots. A hydrogen cylinder in the central fuselage will require a complete rework of the aircraft design and a new type designation, it's not something that can be retrofitted into current aircraft, even if converting the engines to hydrogen would be otherwise feasible.

Aircraft will remain liquid-hydrocarbon-fueled for the foreseeable future, even if the fuel production transitions to a synthetic process vs. refined crude oil.
ebikes with throttles are not legal in NYC anyway, however its basically impossible to tell at a distance what kind of ebike someone has from a distance.

That's an impressive accomplishment, although the comments here are rightly mostly about the absurdity of student debt.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to graduate debt-free, through a combination of a) attending school in Canada, where tuition costs are less absurd than the US; b) some money my parents saved for their children's education; and c) participation in a co-op education model. Basically, alternating between one semester in school, one semester at a co-op job, and no summers off (though really, how many college students go home for the summer and take a job at Starbucks anyway?). I graduated having financed my education by myself after the first year, and with ~2 years of (relevant) work experience already under my belt. The connections from one of those jobs also ended up helping me get the job I have now.

Like I said, I feel very fortunate, and this approach won't necessarily fit all use cases. But I heartily recommend a co-op education model any chance I get. Even if it could help you avoid taking on $10k in student debt, that feels like a win.
Well, memory alone is 55%, which is probably heavily correlated with the overall smartphone market. Samsung phones themselves are 22%, and displays at 11%.

I am sure displays and memory are both not all phones, but they're probably in large part that. They provide most of the displays for Apple and other competitors. So Samsung is very heavily exposed to the mobile phone market. I guess if you have low margins and high fixed costs, which certainly could be the case for memory, a 25% decline in the overall market could lead to near 100% decline in profit!
Several designs have been proposed for adding sails, of one shape or another, to ships in addition to an active mode of propulsion in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Further, the ships take a significant amount of energy to get going, so much of that initial acceleration could be handled by strong tug boats which would then be immediately recharged.
I always kind of wonder why self packaging isnt a better supported thing in general? Like if i use macos, why not read the brewfile from the repo directly and so on. Your are already trusting the software to not mess with your system to a certain extent anyway
Correct, this particular diphthong and the substitution of "an" for "a" serve the same exact function, so having both would be redundant. If we were to look at a word that starts with u but doesn't have the diphthong, such as Ubuntu, then "an" is used.
Yeah, sure. But in my honest opinion even if you were to outlaw anonimity you would still have these problems. I would go as far as to say that things would be actually worse, because those bad actors would actually confuse and mis/disinform people even more.

In the last 15-20 years the internet became less and less anonymous, and yet those problems still exist and they're a central issue. While it's mostly a correlation and definitely not a causal factor (because internet adoption was non-existent back then compared to now, amongst others), it still begs the (rhetorical) question of why the pressure against anonimity.(See past and current abuses in this regard by governments/empires/etc). I'm semi-jokingly talking about a conspiracy here, because i've used both anonymous and 'very verified' platforms, and most of the time the misinformation happens on the latter. This is especially true since the facebook days, because the platform itself gives the vibe of credibility (alongside the user/entity posting it).

Trying to combat misinformation in this way is and will remain a cat&mouse game because there will always be actual bad actors which will try to impersonate/immitate the good ones. Put it like this: you have the same people walking on 2 streets: on the first one they hear Biden/Trump/Macron/etc. saying a fake thing, spreading misinformation; on the next: a random hobo saying the same thing. Which one will have the worse impact? While I'm not sure there have been done such studies/experiments, past "anecdata" tells me the influential person successfully fools a higher percentage of those people. While you could say "but once exposed, he's recognized as a fraud" and that's entirely true: we then return to my point of people trying to impersonate/fake credibility or grift the issue by saying unquantifiable or things that just cannot be entirely fact-checked (without projecting or speculation): those actors do more damage because they appear credible.

I fully agree though that there are certain aspects that need to have a 0 tolerance policy (CP and similar things) even when anonymous. And with regards to flagging anonymous users as such: would be interesting if any social network tries to make the experiment of having semi/fully anonymous modes: because honestly that would be just one of the few actual solutions to combat polariation on social media: by encouraging more free & honest discussion (even if there's 90% chance it becomes less civil).
Only when your mouth parts move a certain way to pronouce it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6As7KhrFQ4
Well, tbf it kinda can but I get your point
At very least some free tier for NAT64 gateways, or shared DNS64/NAT64 alike https://nat64.net/public-providers for Amazon users would be nice. I'm fine with ipv6-only connectivity for a lot of hosts, but once in a while they need to download some software / updates from github.com which is still ipv4-only. Paying fixed extra cost for every subnet just for 100MB/mo download per host is meh.
Instances admins can still ban your instance too, just so you know before the hassle of setting it up to get your whole server banned after.

>Why are industries dominated by large unprofitable companies?

In general, they arent and companies that remain unprofitable dont stick around in the long term.

You also need to be aware that there are different ways to calculate profitability, so not all of the headline losses mean what you might think.
Can you explain why you continue to say things that make no sense after it has been pointed out to you multiple times by multiple people? It's a bit strange, normally you'd realize your mistake and adapt, but you seem to persist in purposefully misunderstanding what it means when people talk about 'room temperature fusion'.

Let me spell it out once more and then as far as I'm concerned we're done here. Room temperature as a qualifier for a process means that the entire process operates at room temperature. Boiling an egg does not take place at room temperature, even if it takes place in a room. Superconduction - for now - does not take place at room temperature but far below it (this may change shortly, the jury is still out on that). Plasma, aka the fourth state of matter can in very extreme cases be created at low temperatures but we're talking about a couple of nuclei worth at best ( https://www.livescience.com/64422-plasma-cooled-with-lasers.... ) but normally only does so at thousands of degrees.

This means that the term 'room temperature' simply does not apply.

> This doesn't mean that it's not possible to create a cold reactor that generates a lot of heat

You really should read that sentence again. Cancel out the double negative and see if it makes sense to you.

> The hating of Cold Fusion has cost many people their lives.

This is complete nonsense.

> It would be better to allocate a small fraction of a budget for other nuclear power plants and direct them towards CF, because the cost of CF iteration is orders of magnitude lower, and a few million dollars or euros could significantly advance science.

Science budgets are limited and tend to be directed to areas that are suspected to be fruitful. This makes it hard to get funding for what is - charitably - called crank science (or, more precisely, pathological science), which includes cold fusion. If you are a strong believer in the concept you should fund it yourself rather than to put the burden of your beliefs on others.
Paul Reubens, actor best known as Pee-wee Herman, dies at 70
Yeah, our situation isn't quite that bad. The big company is happy to write the feature usually, but that doesn't mean the feature should be bolted into the main repo with its special dependencies dropped right into setup.py install_requires.

I nearly got nailed by an e-bike the last time I was in Manhattan, going against traffic in a pedestrian lane. They seem to have proliferated in the last year or so.

The trouble seems to be that people are trying to maintain a biker's traditional laissez-faire attitude toward traffic laws on a vehicle that can do 30+ mph and accelerate with electric torque.
I was considering building this when I bumped into your project. Looked promising.

a common use case would be to self host this to check if all N microservices are up.

But i spent 10 mins trying to figure out how to add various endpoints. And didn't find it in open/closed issues,nor the readme, nor the two env examples nor on your website.
Re [1]: it's fairly concrete to simply say that matrix multiplication can be performed block-wise.
No, I paid for the (intended) Norway booking via Booking.com in full.

I then got a fraud charge a couple days later. I never gave my credit card info directly to the Norway property (not sure if Booking shares it with them?) but I'm more inclined to suspect someone at Booking who had access to their saved credit card database OR superuser access to book some other resort using my saved payment info.
This is not the true Scotsman fallacy. Biofuels are an environmental disaster, full stop. Anyone who promotes biofuels is aggressively undermining environmental policy.

Hi Facundo! Glad to hear :) we need more people thinking about this.

1. Yup! I love stackaid.us but donations mostly pray on social dynamics – eg. if i see you have a lot, i won't donate, if i see you don't get a lot, i might donate.

2. Initially we don't host sources themselves, so people can continue using Github to develop their software. For many licenses, the sources need to be available anyways.

So instead, it'd be package registries that we host. Think of it like doing `npm install express` – you most likely hit the npmjs.org package registry to download a specific published version of express.

This also means that usage for users stays almost the same – just need to configure your package manager to point to our registry.

3. I'd love to consider other subscription models. For ex. free for working on more OSS, or even free for non-commercial purposes. The main idea is to put the burden of paying upfront on the Companies.

To be honest, we should probably go harder on companies with pay-per-use models or revenue-tied fees, like they do in the gaming industry. But we'll have to iterate here.

4. As i mentioned before, we'd act only as a distribution network for packages, so your sources would live in Github or Gitlab or wherever they already are. We're not making the situation better, but at least its not made worse either.

5. Let's do some napkin math under the assumption that 90% of the revenue is split equally by package installs on a single programming ecosystem. (the final heuristic we'll use will be more complex than this).

Take Koa (js web framework) with ~6M installs/mo. It's depended on by 6,870 other npm packages, and used by 338,000 github repos. It's made 3,241 USD since 2016 in OpenCollective. That's not a lot of money for a rather impactful package!

If 1 company paid 2,000 USD / yr, and all that yearly installs would've gone to Koa, Koa would get 1,800 USD that year. Assuming 90% revshare.

If you throw another package into the mix, like Zod (with ~20M installs/mo), then the revshare for both goes like:

Total Rev: 2,000 USD

Shareable Rev: 1,800 USD

Total Installs: 312M

Koa share: 72M install -> ~23% -> 414 USD / yr

Zod share: 240M install -> ~77% -> 1386 USD / yr

If you grow to 10 companies, then the numbers grow 10x:

Koa share: 4140 USD / yr.

Zod share: 13860 USD / yr.

In practice given npm has 1M packages, and the dep graphs are deep, it won't be as easy as "10x in 10x out!" but it should give you an intuition of what we're trying to do here.

ByteCommons only makes money when everyone else makes money.
Roku does the same. At this point I would be surprised if any box or TV isn't taking 30%.
Only send alerts from the end user perspective. In your case the end user would most likely go into the backups and list them. So I would have a job that lists the backups every day and if something is missing it alerts.

See the difference here is that you don't monitor the systemd backup job, you monitor the backup backend instead. Because systemd can be configured to retry a job, the end result is in the backend.

And in other cases I do have monitoring for individual services, but I only send alerts if the end user experiences an issue. So a web server process/systemd unit is being monitored, but the alert is on a different monitor that checks if the website returns 200, or if it contains a keyword indicating it works.

It can't embed PDFs and there doesn't seem to be a solution in sight, because they want to keep their software stack working in the browser. It supports embedding SVGs, but converting PDF to SVG never works well, so the only reliable option is to render the PDF to high-DPI PNG.

The font subsetting seems to be suboptimal. I had small documents that were a megabyte when they should have been a few kilobytes. This however can be fixed with PDF tools.
HTML is evidence that having to do a closing tag is an amusing non-starter for authored pages. Such that I don't see that flying too well.
MBP once again have HDMI ports and good keyboards. I wouldn't mind a single USB-A port but I don't particularly miss it, and 3 USB-Cs is plenty for my uses.

I haven't needed an ethernet port on a laptop since the mid 2000s troubleshooting why my newly installed stack of Cisco switches weren't working, and that sort of use cases is rare enough that having a dongle seems fine.

Conversely, about 80% of the people I know use Apple laptops for work.
What are the top embedded usage chips and what is their typical niche?
I'm building a tool for transcriptions where your brand, product or any other technical jargon or heck even your own name does not need a fine-tuned model all the time. Both as a free native Mac app & a SaaS tool for those who need to process in bulk. Hit me up at nebo@minusgreed.com to check it out, will launch as FortuneSpeech.com once out of beta.

Thanks to this post, I kind of have another idea for a 'corrections to transcript' feature that Llama2-7B even on CPU can help with.
