Sorry, I could have spoken more precisely here. What I'm saying is that it's very annoying that there is first-class socket support for TCP and UDP, but not for ICMP; there isn't a set of sockopts and sockaddrs you can plug in to send and receive specific patterns of ICMP, or OSPF, or DHCP. There could be, but there aren't, and so to do those things you generally bypass large chunks of the stack.

On the other hand, you might take away from this that the near universal limitation on first-class programmatic access to raw Ethernet (or even raw IP) has constrained the evolution of the protocols themselves --- if it were easier to code directly to IP rather than to UDP or TCP, we might have a greater diversity of IP protocols. And that might not be a good thing! We might have benefited from how clunky the socket interface is. :)
> Someone who understood basic economics wouldn't assert that investors are ruining the housing market for individual family buyers

So you don't think that adding demand without adding supply makes prices go up?

Or you disagree that prices going up makes it harder for a family to buy a house?

Edit: I see you added to your comment...

> so their investment helps out families on net by helping to increase the supply of housing to meet the increase in demand

And I still disagree, because this isn't what we see happening.
> NY/Chicago/London/Paris/Tokyo you can conceivably and easily nip out to a grocer's, bodega, cafe or pub within 10 minutes of where you are.

This keeps coming up on HN but it's not as absolutist as it's made to be.

There are lots and lots of suburban places in the US where you can walk to things as you describe. NY/Chicago/London/Paris/Tokyo do not have a monopoly on walkability.

I live in very suburban (approaching on rural, but still suburban) area in the outskirts of silicon valley. Within 10 minutes I can walk to two supermarkets, several cafes and two pubs. Also to movie theaters, library, two drug stores, many restaurants, child care, a department store and many other businesses.

But unlike Manhattan, within 10 minutes (ok maybe 12) I can also walk to an open space forest where I can hike, mountain bike and go camping. Unlike in Manhattan, I can road bike many tens of miles of rural low-to-no-traffic roads out of my front door. We have many open soccer fields within easy walk (kid loves soccer so this is great).

Suburbs can be very walkable and have more variety of amenities within easy reach than a dense city.
> I would be curious about any references you have for that - the optimal decisions of the past are usually worth reconsidering.

I am afraid I do not have muchon this.

> multiple IR is prone to having strong common themes.

I am optimistic that with enough fancy tricks (e.g. more type parameters) we can deduplicate.

Fundamentally, I rather be very strict and proactive about totality / modularity / formally enforcing invariant, and more lenient/reactive about duplication. Regressions of the former sort are extremely subtle and require tons of hard thinking to resolve. Regressions of the latter sort are comparatively simply to identify and think about the problem.

Seeing the commonalities in a bunch of similar things that we don't yet know how to abstract over it also a great way that practice can inform theory!
These services have already existed for decades, with government-funded interpreters. They’re known as Telecommunications Relay Services and they come in a lot of varieties for one’s specific level of disability.

There are apps now that have the same service using AI transcription instead of a live interpreter, which is nice, but it’s not world-changing.
It's funny, I have mixed feelings about my policy debate experience but the sort of tendentious criticism in the article makes me want to defend it.

(I want to call the article ill-informed but I suspect the author is actually at least generally aware of all the dynamics you describe and just relying on their audience not to be.)
For me I use it because of their ZFS send support. It's just way easier with the system I have to use that as opposed to any other option. The cost difference is worth that for my situation (a decent but not huge amount of data and limited time to spend on managing it). (There are also some potential advantages in that it is just an online file store which you can pull from and validate at any time, as opposed to having a specific process for a restore). Also the cost on their website is a starting point, you may find they can go cheaper if it matters to you (and e.g. if you are willing to use a different payment schedule).
Search for "DeleteMe". I haven't used it personally. My only barrier to entry was that you have to give the service lots of your PII so they know what to search for, but if you trust them with that, they will do a lot of the work for you. You can also DIY it, last I checked they had some guides on how to do the work yourself.
One of these I had seen had almost no hints, but it did have a church that was fairly close to a kfc and a dollar general or something. It also kind of “looked” like the southeast, so the dude did a general query on places where those three types of structures inhabited the same general area. It came back with about 7 or 8 results in the entire southeast which could then be manually checked so it seemed like being able to query the map did the big lifting there.
You're talking about time but I am talking about space.
The Semitic languages are Afroasiatic languages. I agree with your general point but ironically you yourself now try to link language to genetics (skin color).

In the horn of Africa they've always spoken Semitic languages as far as we know, and actually it's possible the entire language family originated in Africa, not in West Asia as I guess you assume. This hasn't been proven one way or another, both theories exist.
As far as I know it supports SQLite, MariaDB and PostgreSQL.

For MariaDB you can implement logical master-master replication between 2 servers (or a Galera cluster if you have 3 or more servers).

I have done this for my servers with MariaDB (master-master logical replication) and apart from some very rare hiccups it works very well. You can do the same for PostgreSQL.

For SQLlite there are some solutions like Litestream.

At the moment I am on MariaDB but my plan is to migrate to PostgreSQL.
You can use emacs as web client
Got three doctors in the family and two among our neighbors. All of them hate software with a burning passion. And I can't blame them, to be honest.
All the information about them is cited and backed up by evidence, the fact the website is left wing (according to you) shouldn't get in the way of the factual information contained within.
It would definitely be nice to have an updated PPA, but compared to some apps, Emacs is simple and fast to compile - just a ./configure followed by make. (The first time, you need to install a few dependencies, but that's automated too, something like apt-get build-dep emacs).
As another replay pointed out - Windows Search some times can't even see files in the very folder you're currently viewing, indexed or not.

FWIW I have DisableBackOff = 1 set so indexing happens faster than default.
I gave D a honest shot a couple of years ago and used the web framework Vibe.d.

Coming from the scripting world (Ruby) D wasn’t that hard to get started with nor was the learning curve that steep.

I usually prefer to stick with the few languages I already know, but D lang was very fun to play around and build something with, it was kinda worth it because the language was interesting to explore.

The possibilities to meta-program was endless, it’s very powerful.

Something I would like to highlight is that D lang was performant out-the-box, don’t let the GC scare you. D also felt fast to read & write once you got the hang of it.

It also has some interesting concepts like “Turtles all the way down”.

I would highly suggest giving it a try, it’s really an interesting language worth exploring and I think it has matured a lot since.
In my experience the proactive developer who is still learning rapidly learns and becomes experienced.

The experienced developer on the other hand has little motivation to become interested…
It's become just a word that means "interface endpoints". And frankly that's fine, it's what it is in the end. Whether in an OS, a website, or another platform.

Definitely this. This is the only way to make-sure people around us are protected. If enough tech people do this, we will have a better tech ecosystem for all of us.
Just because you are incapable of understanding it doesn't make it drivel. The fact you are trying to discount high school debate on the basis of it not being the Socratic Dialogues (which, to be clear, nothing you have ever done or will do will stand up to those either), just shows you're not arguing in good faith.

At this point, putting it anywhere else would make people even more confused.
I feel like we could do this with food containers as well. It used to work great with milk bottles. There is a crazy amount of single use plastic used in this space.
Don't forget the Daily Mail, the Daily Express and the Daily Star. Then, take a look at how the composition of the BBC's board changed starting under Cameron's administration. Until recently, their Chairman was Richard Sharp, who donated more than 400k to the tories, and was forced to resign for helping Boris secure a 800k loan. The Director General is Tim Davie, who ran for a seat as a Tory councillor once. Check out the others on the board, many have had positions with some relationship to the tories. Also, what about Ofcom, the regulatory body? Their chairman is Michael Grade, a Conservative life peer. And now we have GB News emerging (aka KGB news), backed by gulf money but also some major tory donors. This isn't healthy, the UK cannot afford an implicit one-party system. Democracy cannot function like this.
> School, homework, part-time job, college, study, full-time job... it never ends. For many of us, covid is the first taste of freedom we ever got. It was eye-opening and delivered some serious perspective.

No refiner, just base sdxl 1.0 + sdxl vae in automatic1111, 1024x1024, without lora, textual inversions, or embeddings, and largely 2M Karras. Vlad works well, and I'm still sussing out the character of sdxl for a comfui workflow while I wait on controlnet.

The seed seems to matter differently with sdxl, producing stronger but more consistent stylistic variations that the prompt can work with. For example, a recent one produced everything as aqueous media over line art on what looked like cotton rag. I didn't bother to record seeds before, but I'm starting a small list as I come across interesting ones.
Hotz is known for hacking the iPhone and PS3. But you should look deeper into that before giving him any credit.

His post is mostly hot air. AMD driver development is very open, excepting only ROCm. Not knowing where things are discussed or how the various driver systems, excluding Nvidia, interact on Linux is not an excuse to rant.

The corporate amd kernel development starts amd-staging-drm-next, with internal AMD pull requests available on the mailing list or here: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/amd-xorg-ddx/serie..., before going through airlied, the maintainer of drm in the main kernel, then to Linus.

Everything user-space regarding OpenGL/Vulkan and some rusty OpenCL, aside from the proprietary amdgpu-pro driver which should almost never be used, is in Mesa.

ROCm is the only thing with huge code dumps, obviously because it's a new effort, and it's said outright that it's unsupported for consumer GPUs. Yes, it's a buggy mess. Did his issue warrant the corporate response he got? No.

What is this small group of people you refer to?
Well that's certainly one hell of a claim. It's one I feel like I should know about considering I've worked with European researchers on human presence in the arctic in the LGM, but I've never heard of this "consensus". Can you provide some more info?

As an aside, the white sands footprints aren't "proof". They're interesting and highly suggestive, but significant concerns remain about the quality of the dating, let alone transbering crossings in the LGM without implicating things like the sketchy refugia hypothesis. It'll be a few years before all that shakes out and we have anything approaching consensus on the matter.
Some people were just made to do some things, and not made to do some things
You’re missing at least an order of magnitude of complexity here.

For starters the data generated by a single hospital EHR is something like 10-20 TB/year.

The data is stored (essentially indefinitely) in multiple databases of varying availability, formats and interfaces. It is generally on prem, with multiple failover systems as well as long term backup and a read-only failover usually in the cloud.

Somewhere in this process the data is stored in a non-clinical use data warehouse which has strict physical and digital access restrictions and detailed logs.

Backups are obviously automated. Logs cannot disclose protected health information.

IT accessing individual records would always be flagged to the CIO and CPO offices and audited.

A % of providers are randomly audited by the same offices and certain accesses automatically trigger an audit (for example if I open my own chart, or if I open the chart of a patient who has restricted access - this is audited even if I’m part of their care team and state so in the prompt that comes up when I open the chart).

Physical access by infra providers is disclosed and audited as well.

It’s actually quite secure largely because the fines for failing to do so are quite hefty for the hospital.
Didn't skilled workers become that way by being proactive about their knowledge? Managers need to manage and lead, period. In the startup world I see time and time again management defering their job to the engineers. These managers only serve as a distraction since the team can do just fine without them.

The ideal answer is you hire the skilled worker and you manage and lead them to success. You dont micro-manage. You dont delegate responsibility. You are there to remove any blockers and any unnecessary cognitive load. You are there to help them, help you, reach the business goals. You work for them. So hire the best most skilled people, and if you manage and lead properly, you challenge them and utilize them, you wont have a bunch of skilled workers uninterested in doing your job for you.
The tool is banned.

Bad actors continue to use the software on their own hardware anyways.
The UK doubled per capita GDP in six years (2001-2007)? That seems implausible. That’s got to be a function of exchange rates, or an artifact of PPP (is that chart PPP adjusted?), or - as you said - somehow related to financialization.

If the data is good and illustrative, then so be it - that’s an incredible increase of economic output in a developed economy (and the UK should go back to whatever they were doing during that decade). But that metric just seems disconnected from any actual improvement in the standard of living.

Interesting data point though!
I think “top income earners” might be misleading? For the people in the article who donate say 40mil to their foundation and write off that 40mil from their income… if they earned 30mil that year, would they still be counted as a top 1% earner for the year in your metrics?

I think you’re right overall about top 50% and top 1%, but I think as you consider ultra wealthy people it might not be as simple (or at least i wonder about more edge cases; maybe I’m wrong)

I nodded along when I first read this, but ten years later I have two, more complex, reactions.

Reaction #1: Whoa, that's a lot of assumption that serious professionals operate within incorporated businesses, anybody else is frivolous.

Here's an alternative framing. Incorporated businesses don't prevent catastrophe, they just make sure there's nobody to blame when things go catastrophically wrong (e.g. https://prospect.org/health/2023-07-29-shock-treatment-emerg...). They also go off on strategic misadventures, destabilizing the product for existing customers while chasing more lucrative ones.

A caricature, yes. But a more accurate caricature I think than the one in OP.

---

Reaction #2: the Opticon page he glowingly links to no longer works. They probably switched hosting providers at some point, and that didn't affect their ability to do business even if it caused them to forget some of their past.

Backups as "ability to continue to operate in the present" are a very different thing from backups as "providing the future access to the past." It's absolutely true that any company will see more profit in the former over the latter. That seems like a weakness of capitalism more than one of Tarsnap.
> The lovely, welcoming residents of Chicago catcalled her using wheelchair-related phrases, one guy on the train pointed at her and told her to kill herself, and someone kicked her cast in a crowd.

This is so utterly farcical and disguisting that people will swear until they are black and blue that you are making this up.

Of course, some of the people making that argument would, with the shield of being a face in a crowd, without a shred of irony and self-awareness, behave in that exact same way.

It's really, really bloody sad.
Yes, I and Renfew know that but he still disagreed with her as do many other anthropoligists.

I just read a book by a feminist, Karin Bojs, who concludes basically* what you just said but I don't think she'd appreciate your overheneralized jab at feminists.

* Her thesis is that those societies valued women's work which included pottery and textiles in addition to maternity while the later IE societies were overtly patriarchical. Personally I don't think there's enough evidence for anyone's position on this and I'm fine not knowing for now.
It is convenient but AWS does employ another common tactic: the easily accessible prices are the highest ones. If you're a customer of any significant size you are being screwed if you are not negotiating a discount (IMO cloud is extremely expensive anyway, so if you have very high duty cycle usage you would be better off using something other than cloud).
The original law capped rent increases to 5%. Guess how that turned out for us? Instead, lobbying got it put up to double-digit percentage increases.

If what you consider “polite”, several people call out as aggressive, then maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of the word.

Your comment does not read polite. At best, passive aggressive.

Asking questions fosters discussion. For a site centered around discussion, that seems warranted. Telling people to just look it up is pretty much the antithesis of discussion.
Or other people don't believe it to be a deontological style duty.

So I spent what amounts to almost an hour today being amazed and entertained by the perceiced absurdity of this.

Now, after a good dinner, reading the FAQ again, I'm starting to roughly feel like this might actually make sense, in another world, or maybe it might even make sense in reality when better fleshed-out?

And also I start to remember what this reminds me of (plenty of other entertaining references already here in the comments):

Oh, but tons of people totally believe in the war on drugs and voted for politicians who directly support that crap. So it's "kinda" consented to, in fact explicitly sought. Just like all the "tough on crime" crap we get to hear about, so many of us think it's utterly ridiculous and the absolute wrong approach, but many are also all about that philosophy and absolutely want the government enacting such policies.
Honestly, why isn't there a general indignation against the concept of tax breaks for any charitable contribution?

I'm generally not aligned with the libertarians, but let's just lower taxes and simply let people give wherever they want.

Maybe a minority opinion here, but I find the idea of trying to see what it's like to live with a disability first hand
without taking a minimum effort to understand the nature of the disability or how people with that disability typically deal with it is at best an exercise of very limited worth and and worst moderately offensive.

The author quotes a statistic that 10% of the UK have speech difficulties. Does he believe that 1 out of 10 Brits is completely unable to hold a phone conversation? If not, then why is this the way he chooses to explore the disability? Assuming that he specifically wants to explore aphasia/dysarthria, did he ask an aphasic or dysarthric person how they approach having to make a phone call? If his goal is to truly understand the experience of living with their disability, how can he do that without approaching things the same way they do? Did he do the research to see that aphasia and dysarthria are disabilities that rarely occur in isolation? Because I don't see any discussion of that, and again, how can you understand the experience of an aphasic or dysarthric person without understanding the other disabilities that the average aphasic person also deals with?
