I’ve used jails since FeeeBSD 7 or 8 and love them. For me, the power of Docker is less about the OCI format (whatever it’s called) and more about Dockerfiles. If Jails could work against Dockerfiles then that would be a massive step forward.

Though to be fair I haven’t tried Pot. Used ez_jails a lot in the past, as well as rolling my own build scripts. So maybe I’m missing a trick?
I don't have any insider info here, but I've worked in companies doing a lot of marketing on Google/FB/Twitter/etc, and they have pretty robust ad marketplaces. There are layers of review, ads are fairly limited in what they can do, security is high.

However these are only a small slice of the market, there's then a very long tail of ad networks that have much less concern for the user, these are where most of the issues are. I once refused to integrate with one (still a major network) because it required allowing them to slurp up all text entered on your site (hell no). They thought it was strange that I pushed back on this. This is post GDPR, in the UK.

These are not the companies that will be implementing WEI. They might, but it's probably beyond them technically, and even if not they'll happily just fingerprint as much as they can instead.

On the flip side, if you're a content creator making money from content you publish online, it would be nice to know scraping is much harder. If you're an online banking user it would be nice to know that bots will have a much harder time automating the stealing of accounts, and so on.
Only to those without a firm grasp on the laws of thermodynamics. There are a lot of those people. They fall into two categories:

- those genuinely confused about this (most of the general public)

- those representing oil and gas lobbies that have been using hydrogen lobbying as a way to stay in the fossil fuel industry a bit longer. Because most hydrogen is made from natural gas and they love the idea of growing the market for that.

In short, there's a lot of waffle about stored energy by people who don't get (or refuse to acknowledge) that most of that 1) needs to come from somewhere (which is a lossy process) and 2) needs to be transformed into a usable form of energy (which is also a lossy process).

That's before you take into account the logistics of moving hydrogen around, which is challenging because it takes up a lot of space. You can either compress it to a few hundred bar (which takes energy) or cool it to a few degrees of kelvin (which takes energy, and keeping it there costs you more energy). And once you do that, you need to keep it contained for extended periods of time (which isn't 100% efficient, especially in liquid form), and use about 18x more trucks for hydrogen in gas form compared to methane in liquid form; or only about 3x more trucks is you actually do cool it down to liquid form.

In short, you end up loosing a lot of energy in various lossy energy transformations, compression, storage, and transport of hydrogen before you even get to extract energy from it. All these inefficiencies multiply to a very significant cost disadvantage over simple battery electric.

And even if you do all go down this path you end up charging a battery with a hydrogen fuel cell. Because fuel cells suck at producing variable output that you would need for a vehicle. Which is why most hydrogen vehicles today that use a fuel cell are fully functional battery electric vehicles that happen to have a tiny battery.

You could just rip out the hydrogen bits and replace them with a bigger battery and you end up with a vehicle that's cheaper to operate. By about 2-3x. A better vehicle in other words.

Vehicles like the ones BHP produces are huge. So, shoving a few mwh of battery in them is not going to be that big of a deal. Charging them is a logistical challenge but also a solvable one. Multi mw charger technology already exists. And of course not having to truck in lots of diesel/hydrogen trucks to the remote places where these things are used might also be a benefit. The main challenge for companies like this is access to enough battery and electricity.
Prediction markets seem blessedly free of externalities though, compared to, say, the energy market (CO2) or textiles (child labor, sweatshops.)

except for incentivizing action to tilt the odds, which is weirdly amoral. if you bet on a bad thing happening, you can cash in by making it happen yourself.

i was fascinated with the criticality accident that claimed Slotin's life when i first learned about it. in particular, the schematic estimating everyone's distance to the apparatus and how much radiation they may have been exposed to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Slotin#/media/File:Sloti...

there was a second sketch made from that drawing which i also found fascinating. it doesn't add any additional information or analytical ability, but is just a sort of interesting and slightly dark translation of a rote schematic diagram into an artistic rendering of the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Slotin#/media/File:Sloti...

I searched around for awhile trying to find the purpose and/or author of that second sketch but to no avail. however i did use it as the cover for an EP i released. please enjoy!

Time consuming & tedious & error-prone != difficult.
I've sold various "AI" consulting projects, I tell people that all the AI hard- tech is open source and that there's nothing that differentiates it. What is different is implementation experience and industry customization. For example everyone has datasets scraped from the internet, but there are not deep application specific datasets publicly available. Likewise experience with the workflows in an industry.

It's just software, there's little "secret sauce" in the engineering, it's the knowledge of the customer problem that's the differentiator.
Are you aware that the gzip paper fudged their accuracy numbers by assuming an oracle could correctly pick from the nearest 2 neighbors with 100% accuracy?

In other words, they published top-1 accuracy from top-2 accuracy calculations.

I would not over-index on that paper. However, I would err in favor of simpler methods.
To prevent farm price collapses, the government tries to regulate the amount of certain products that are made. For example, if the USA can eat one million pounds of soybeans a year, and this year less than one million were grown, the price will skyrocket. So next year all the farmers grow soybeans, because it was a huge money maker, and three million pounds is the result - but that floods the market and the price of soybeans drops to nothing, and all the farmers go bankrupt.

To prevent that, the government tries to convince farmers NOT to grow whatever crop they think there will be too much of, and pays them to fallow fields.

It's memed as "paid not to farm" but it's much more complicated than that, and it's not a guaranteed money-maker (seen by the absolute demise of the small farm over the last 50 years).
Following industry protocols is important, especially when you are part of a team and are expected to be consistent. Your colleagues need to make sense of your work without wrecking their brains.
Except in many cases it's simply not available.

I'm fed up with Airbnb tbh. From pricing, to booking places in shitty neighborhoods, to finding out a place doesn't have a/c, it's always something... I still love the concept and idea, but it's just too expensive to get rugged in some way, shape, or form every time you book an Airbnb.
There's nothing super-special about the host. The accelerators are the special part (and, as described elsewhere, they are orders of magnitude more powerful than the Edge TPU). However, if you're an academic/independent researcher, being able to access a system with that much system memory/CPU cores for free through TPU Research Cloud is potentially appealing even without the accelerators.
Modern capitalism is about figuring out exactly how much you can enshittify something, and how much money you can charge for those enshittified products.

The old ideal of "make really good, quality products and you'll prosper" has given way to "make really shitty products that people will pay for anyway, and you'll prosper more"

Doesn't play nicely with aligned material.

Parallel definitions lined up for readability.

Similarly in structure definitions where there are line comments:

Alignment in parallel definitions.

struct netent {
char *n_name; // Official name of network.
char **n_aliases; // Alias list.
int n_addrtype; // Net address type.
uint32_t n_net; // Network number.
};

No, tabs will not fix this issue, unless everyone agrees on exactly the same font, and the same tab stops, in the same editor. What looks vertically aligned in your editor looks staggered in someone else's.

This kind of thing is not unheard of:m

struct netent {
char *n_name; // Official name of network.
char **n_aliases; // Alias list.
int n_addrtype; // Net address type.
uint32_t n_net; // Network number.
};

We have the identifiers of the declarators vertically lined up, but the pointer derivators hang to the left. Tabs will just not do this.

Proportional font coders are in the lunatic fringe.

All else being equal, do not hire.

How to Create a Product Roadmap
Not all of us live in cities with fiber connexions. This is a very first-world, urban take. That's just another idea to exclude rural kids, and I shouldn't downvote for this, but I sometimes am tired of how much we are treated as second class citizens. I'm now in a big city (70kcapita) but I still have most family and friends in much smaller country villages and they already feel they are ignored. Once again HN prove them right.

Also I did set up VNCs (w/o clipboards) for datasec when I worked at a PAAS. Low refresh rates and low res (it was basically spyder/Hadoop web page, and terminal commands to import data), it was unusable when I worked from my parents house or when I visited friends in deep Brittany.
Uhhh, BHP is like one of the largest coal miners on the planet.
Though, it's just one of their operating units (mainly iron and copper).
> Luckily Louis Vuitton is a publicly traded company, so we can see that its average profit margin is actually only 12%.

It's not 12%, it's 18% as a whole company. 12% is 20 year average.

Louis Vuitton owns many companies, I'm specifically talking about bags but you also have things like:

> LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton Société Européenne's operated at median gross profit margin of 66.6% from fiscal years ending December 2018 to 2022. Looking back at the last 5 years, LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton Société Européenne's gross profit margin peaked in June 2023 at 68.7%.

68.7%...

> LVMH doesn't break out individual brands' financial results, but analysts say Vuitton's profit margin came in at around 50% last year[1]

It depends a lot on the language. For Spanish and English it's good, but they make up a large portion of the internet.
If you fine the companies, the behavior would stop very quickly.
As much as I like pg_vector, I think right now what we need the most is a pre-packaged version of sqlite-vss and a Pythonic wrapper for bootstrapping projects. This would lower barriers to entry even more for those using LLMs solely via APIs, and save people the trouble of setting up a database server or risking getting locked in to yet another prickly SaaS while iterating on a concept.

Scaling can come later, after the solution has proven its worth.
> Having good legible predictions of impactful events such as LK-99 replication is extremely useful for society - it would be an invaluable input for a savvy policy maker for instance.

How?

Would it not be better for the "savvy" policy maker to JUST WAIT until this discovery is confirmed, definitively, by multiple legit research institutions? And even better, wait until it shows some promise of practical application? Policy, as we know it, almost never reacts within hours to anything, let alone a scientific discovery. What exactly can a policy maker even do with faster than hot-off-the-press knowledge about this stuff?

Prediction markets are really just for people that hustle in markets or who are looking for a news scoop. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with that, though some might argue it contributes to needless volatility.

It's really important to benchmark this stuff, because depending on the workload, a cheap VPS is the way to go (you're almost always idle, say) or getting some of the latest and greatest hardware under your desk can quickly pay for itself.

Based on what? I would never buy an Apple laptop and no one I know has one either. The Windows "gaming laptop" I got a few years ago for game dev is perfectly adequate and has features missing from Macbooks:

- ethernet port

- hdmi port

- multiple usb A and C ports

- solid keyboard

Same for my work laptop, again Windows/x86 and no one I know with a work laptop is supplied a Mac either.
I've been trying to move to FreeBSD for quite some time, but I play games on Linux heavily, the last time I tried playing on FreeBSD I had some driver issues with Nvidia; of course, Nvidia not being the best when it comes to open source.

How is the gaming experience in FreeBSD these days? Has anyone tried it?

Funny, a long time ago I was in the hurdle of switching between Windows and Linux to play games, now with Proton, it is "FreeBSD vs Linux".
That's not so much a comparison, as it is a collection of bland facts about each solution. Those facts may not even be a good basis for making a choice and it doesn't give any guidance on why each of them may be important.

It also looses out on qualitative attributes that distinguish some of them from the others. E.g. Weaviate has a lot better DX (in my opinion) than any of the others as, as it handles integration of different vectorizers etc. a lot better, which makes it stand out.
Has anyone attempted to utilize the vector storage capability in Redis? What was your experience with it?
Some more:

* The politics and alliance building required to get anything done is both absurd and exhausting.

* You get it from both sides: leadership is pissed off because of X, individual contributors are pissed off because of Y. In both cases they are pissed off at you, or at least pissed off at something and using you as a pin cushion.

* You have to pretend to care about things. A good individual contributor can get away with an attitude of "I'll work on whatever you want me to work on, but this is just a job to me", whereas a manager is expected to be a loyal and excited booster of whatever stupid shit the company is up to.

* Generally I worked harder as a manager than as an IC, and the work was more stressful. The pay bump was not as significant as the stress bump. I've also worked at places (like my current job) where ICs make more than PMs. I am an IC here, and have no idea why anyone would ever take a PM job here. Sure enough, we can't keep them around.

* Do you like to consider all options and really think through a decision before you make it? Well, get used to being asked for definitive, snap judgments all day, every day.
I have intrisic motivation, I just like what I work with and like to do a good job. I often have high standards for my work.

What changed? It's very tiresome to swim against the current. You can only care about so many things that your team doesn't until you get tired of barking at the tree.

At my new job it's the same, as usual, but I'm not forcing things and just getting with the flow. If I can, I'll suggest some ocasional improvements but if it falls on deaf ears, I'll let it go.
Right now I'm trying to brush up my skills for:

>Users love PayPal.

Genuinely surprised to hear all the love for PayPal, recently. I don't use it much these days (did, years ago but found the experience fairly neutral) but remember a period of everyone seemingly hating PayPal because... I actually don't know? Maybe something about niche cases where it was harder to get them sorted out via PayPal vs other services (which I can imagine to be annoying)?
I run FreeBSD as my host and pass data into linux VMs with bhyve 9p protocol support. This way I can have my docker data on my FreeBSD host's ZFS. Just pointing out another option, but it also depends on what type of stuff you are doing.

> All major ISPs have had native ipv6 for customers in the US for at least 5 years. Not some funky bastardized implementation but native full ipv6.

CenturyLink (or Lumen or whatever they want to call themselves today) only has 6rd, at least in my neck of the PNW. And it's best if you don't use it, as their CPE tends to do bad things if you do; my initial CPE would reboot if a fragmented 6rd packet came in over the WAN interface. The current CPE doesn't reboot, but v6 packets sometimes take about 1 second to transit the CPE, so I gave in and run the CPE as a bridge and do PPPoE on my own equipment.
Debian already had its own share of dramas as well.
There seems to be a lot of lobbying going on around hydrogen and unfortunately politicians seem to think:

Hydrogen is a gas - therefore everywhere you use gas you can use hydrogen instead.

I’m not sure it’s quite so simple.
The contribution follows mostly the usual "thanks, but no thanks" struggle.

Until you realize ... OMG. Red Hat's trajectory is making things complicated.
Because you have to worry about cycle times. Central AC is sized to cool the entire house and is only used when its hot outside. Tying a fridge to the central AC would give frequent and very short cycle times because it doesn't require the removal of as many BTUs. The AC system's life expectancy would then be shortened.
This might work out to be a good enough solution instead of opening an sshd during boot to prompt for the passphrase. The need for physical presence isn't completely eliminated, but this should suffice for most situations.
I already ordered product from DASUNG before, it was technically working, just useless because of the Windows-specific drivers that were needed and the poor refresh-rate (it was the B&W 13"-ish version of the monitor).

However, the team in China was cool to interact with and seemed reliable.
I'm assuming you'd have had to at least plant the crop to get paid to not harvest it, right?

Why would we do that instead of buy the soybeans at market rates and then send them to countries as aid?
I recently found my old HTC phone and it had a "fastboot" feature. The boot time is just 4 seconds.

I hope old tech gets a comeback. I hope it creates more local jobs for phone repairs and software customizations. But it's probably just me being stupid.
What’s interesting is that all of science rests ultimately on intuition.

The laws of logic and reasoning rest on axioms which basically rely on the intuition that they are true.

I assume it’s a one time fee for AWS and pay forever for all of us that can’t afford to buy a block.

I thought it was closer to $40 per IP last time I looked. AWS charging $3.60 per month looks pretty lucrative either way since the payback is only 1-1.5 years.
Write a letter detailing what happened to the NYC attorney general, the California attorney general and your state attorney general if you live in a different state.

My fridge came with a 3rd drawer in the middle for veggies or fruit. It has pouches that absorb ethylene gas and works very well. You have to replace them every few months but they aren’t too expensive on Amazon. You can buy a plastic stick on piece and install it in on an older fridge.

The drawer is in the middle above the freezer in a French style fridge. You can set the temp to things like fruit, meat, or cheese but we prefer a dedicated produce area.
In my experience, if you know what you're looking for, and FreeBSD meets your needs, and you prefer a more classic unix-y setup, then it's great. If you want the cutting edge of everything, it may still work for you, but it's worth investigating to be sure. FreeBSD doesn't always do bleeding-edge stuff without a bit of hand-holding.

With ZFS and boot environments, it's great for upgrades, if you're okay with some downtime. You can certainly do high-availability, but again, there's some hand-holding.

I much prefer FreeBSD for everything I can use it for. But I don't use Docker, or Kubernetes. I use it as a server OS where the only interface is ssh.
you should add some metadata to your site. specifically a description at the minimum. "Free, interactive guide to learning Python."
