They only do on a technicality. Canada is huge and only a tiny fraction of it is inhabited. Most of Canada is government owned, which is referred to as "Crown Land" (owned by "The Crown", which is the legal entity controlled by the monarch). Note that this land is "owned" by the monarch in the same way the head of state is the monarch. Ceremonially and historically true, but in practice not at all. There are legal restrictions preventing the monarch from using the land in a way that someone who "owns" the land typically would. For instance, they can't sell it, transfer it, and revenue from renting the land (usually for natural resource extraction) goes to the entity administering that land. Which is either the provincial or federal government, who are also responsible for who deciding who gets to use the land in the first place.

So again, technicality true, but if a monarch attempted to actually use the land, they'd be thwarted by the Canadian legal system from actually doing so. In much the same way the Canadian legal system has acted to prevent our "head of state" from acting as one in practice.
The thing I personally don't understand about Apple's valuation is the China risk. Their current revenues and profit margins require global supply chains (especially between US and China) remain stable.

Not saying that's necessarily a bad bet to make, and Apple obviously have a lot of leverage with supplier countries given their size, but they're extremely exposed to geopolitical risk when compared to Google or Microsoft. I guess I just think the valuation should be adjusted down for that risk a bit.
Sure, but the failure modes of NAT is pretty good and the NAT is hard to misconfigure.

That the crappiest firewall could do the same is missing the point. People back in the day didn't have crappy firewalls, they had nothing.

NAT was and is a brilliant first step that everyone has nowadays.

UPnP tries its best to make it worse though but the existence of UPnP is alone proof that a crappy or good firewall wouldn't have been better than NAT for the common user.
I said 100% more or less as a figure of speech. I meant to say adding tests in some modules that I deem relevant. As a matter of fact, it would speed up development. Because I'm always feeling uneasy of the changes I introduce, all while learning the underlying Object-Relational Mapper. This has been the case for the past year or more in a new job position. The past developer of this code moved to new position long ago...
In the 1980s, I was the sole developer/support person for an inspection system based on MS-DOS, Turbo Pascal, Norand corporation handhelds running code in PL/N (Their variant of PL/1). I wrote a set of libraries to do field based data editing, cooperative multitasking, and all the code for it all. I supported the system in the field, and learned a ton of things about software usability.

My moment of self actualization happened when I walked up to one of the customers locations, and I realized that no matter what... they were going to be happy by the time I left.
I don't know, the easiest solution would be "run your own DNS server that you point the weird servers at". A handful of euros per month for a VPS will get you more DNS queries than you'll ever need. No need to even hit Cloudflare when you can turn on the recursive setting on your own server; this protects you against the viable but unlikely scenario that Cloudflare messes with your DNS/gets its DNS cache poisoned/goes down.

PowerDNS + DoH + DoT can be configured in an afternoon. Another if you need to read some dnsdist documentation and add a LUA script to prevent DDoS in case you're not able to authenticate clients (https://dnsdist.org/rules-actions.html and https://dnsdist.org/advanced/qpslimits.html are a nice start).

Nothing wrong with using a public DNS resolver for your own devices, but I think using public services like these for benchmarking/load testing is abusing the generosity of the people running these servers.

apparently, camera feeds are collected as well. If this is true then there is room for quite a bit of theatre, literal theatre, to be injected into the data.
it's because the people who contribute to techempower benchmarks are zealots who believe that it's far more useful and important to show their One True Language in the Best Possible Light than to give you a useful benchmark. take a look at the source code for some of them and see for yourself.
Eh, doing the math[0], it seems like you'll actually drift about 1 nanosecond every ~35 minutes if I pick a mountain near my house vs sea level. That means you'd have about 1 microsecond of difference in your clocks in about 3 weeks. For a 1 millisecond drift though, that'd take about 66 years. That's still pretty safe, but it's definitely not "you never have to worry about this˟" territory. I'm sure some others can chime in with cases where 1 microsecond clock drift (in cases expecting very accurate clocks) can cause problems.

>>> g = 9.8 c = 299_792_458
>>> h = 4392 # height of Mt. Rainier
>>> drift_per_second = (g*h)/(c**2)
>>> print(drift_per_second)
4.789023865263744e-13
>>> nanosecond = 1.0e-9
>>> seconds_to_drift_one_ns = nanosecond / drift_per_second
>>> print(seconds_to_drift_one_ns)
2088.1081993625176
>>> print(seconds_to_drift_one_ns / 60) # minutes till a 1 ns drift accumulates
34.80180332270863
>>> print((seconds_to_drift_one_ns * 1000) / 60 / 60 / 24) # days till ~1 microsecond accumulates

I would say that self-conciousness and feelings are not requirements for AGI. But reasoning certainly is.
So if you can't make out the feature... do you turn around and tell people you actually did make it out and share your imagined version if it?

Because that's what the LLM does uncensored. It makes up data to fill in the gaps.

Thanks for showing why not all big boys can actually deal with this stuff.
I have it installed via flatpak (on Pop!_OS), which turns off auto-updates, and gives me full control over when updates happen
At that energy density, can't they just wrap the entire smaller battery in 2 layers of ceramic and steel or something and just side-step the entire safety discussion OP is mentioning?

Yes, I know it's probably a silly solution :-)
A 2-3m charge will get you through the day, but my point was simply that "one size fits all" design doesn't exist.
Doesn't help. Mac verifies access at this level no matter how many layers of indirection you use. Like, the permission is actually on, in linux terms, /dev/diskdevice instead of /mnt/drive.
Ask HN: Growing Users in SaaS Business
I built out a ML as a service business where users can build and deploy models in less than 10 minutes. Through my promotions I get lots of traffic but not enough traction to grow my user base. My base offering is completely free but that doesn't seem to be enough to excite people into joining. I want to help make machine learning accessible to as many people as possible. I attached a marketing use case page here. I think Marketing, Real Estate etc. would really benefit from my service but haven't been able to validate this. Any ideas on how I can better communicate my offering? Ay specific advice from growing products yourself?

Thank You!
I mean, if there's something specific that he says that's untrue in this video I'd love to discuss it, but I think it's possible to listen to what people say with a skeptical ear and an open mind. I don't have to agree with everything he says but sometimes he says some interesting things that are worth thinking about and discussing.
> plain old PG coming ahead on quite a few

I found that is common among these types of databases (e.g. Citus, Timescale, etc.) which perform well under very specific conditions, and worse for many (most?) other things, sometimes significantly worse.

That said, Hydra does take up ~17.5G for that benchmark and "PostgreSQL tuned" about 120G, the insert time is ~9 times faster, and "cold run" is quite a bit faster too. It's only "hot run" that shows a fairly small difference. I think it's fair to say Hydra "wins" that benchmark.

> Is Hydra a fork of Citus columnar storage?

Yes: "Hydra Columnar is a fork from Citus Columnar c. April, 2022".
I am pretty sure that if something can't be handled by a program because it's underlying language can't handle it still counts as "program can't handle the problem".

"just don't mangle my filenames" is a pretty basic requirement for a universal use shell.
I love the idea of a physical calculator. I mean, they seem really cool if you're a nerd, who wouldn't want an nSpire?

But math is pretty tightly tied to screens for me. I'm usually finding a resistor value I will then enter in a schematic capture app, or looking up the dimensions of something online and making something fit in CAD, or pricing out a project by looking up parts.

90% of the time, if I'm doing math, I'm on a tablet or computer anyway. I'd like a physical calculator for the other 10%, but I think I might never use it, because... It would probably be farther away than my phone and laziness and habit would take over.
Chrultrabook – Modify a Chromebook to Run Windows/Linux/macOS
Additionally, you need software to run on-prem. Rare is the application that is simply an executable running on a server and not having any dependencies on things such as databases. That software requires licensing, and there's always on ongoing annual tail that will be charged. On AWS all that licensing and support is rolled into their pricing. That turns out to be a substantial savings, along with all the other things you've mentioned.
Adding 10k to the cost of the lowest priced car is definitely a problem for both the user and the manufacturer.

I kinda get it. Rather than maintaining a supply of multiple parts which complicates your supply chain and install/repair procedures, Tesla is making cars nearly 100% identical physically and differentiating in software.
Interesting. There might be an incentive to reject overqualified candidates who the hiring manager might deem to much of a waste of time to train if they are likely to end up leaving within a short amount of time. But I was just making a tongue in cheek comment about how different roles experience different supply and demand.
Have you ever accidentally set your calculator to gradians? We were warned about it when doing trigonometry in school, the first time we had to go between degrees and radians.
But if this is the fear, why should we care? If John Doe, who is currently a bartender, wants to concede to Warner his appearance in perpetuity in exchange for $1000, that's his business.
Every car stereo I've had for at least the past decade automatically saves the position when you turn the car off.
namecheap also supports .dev. I purchased mine there years ago.
It gets a lot more ambiguous when the features being offered also come with increased risk of warrantly liability. I'm thinking of things like acceleration boost here rather than FSD and other driver assistance features.

For FSD, part of the payment is for ongoing maintenance. It is likely that the countermeasure would be subscriptions, and they already seem to be progressing in that direction.
Hmm, I agree it's odd, but 'shady' seems to attribute malice to what could just be stupidity?
What Does IQ Measure? [video]
Human brains are wired for kinship relationships. There are studies that find that just assigning people to random groups activates in-group/out-group dynamics. There's no wonder corporate HR wants to plug into this wiring and use it to improve group cohesion and morale.
Quebec Ministry of Cybersecurity and Digital Technology employee data leaked
I can see two different ways of looking at this

If you enabled a seat heater, enabling hardware that the car already has installed, or hot-rodding the engine, I don't think it is that big a deal.

But if you downloaded and installed software from tesla that didn't come with the car, or did something like enabling free supercharging, that would be more like theft of services.

I expect if this becomes a thing, features will have to be downloaded after purchase.
that is literally clojure development
I can't imagine what use case requires dozens of devices, hooked up to potentially untrusted random public wifi networks, making many DNS requests all at the same instant. For your very odd use case I'd suggest hosting your own recursive resolver someplace like AWS and pointing to that, but I suspect if you checked your priors you probably can change something about the first 3 conditions.
An open source maintainer is a person volunteering their time and resources to offer something usually free of charge. As such, they decide what usecases they want to support and for how long. You can't expect someone to do work for free to support you.
Pastured. As in, raised in a pasture.
Which will obviously be on top.
Ah Borders, that was a magic time.

Christopher Nolan refused to use CGI to add soldiers to the beach for Dunkirk. The end result looks like more of a beach outing than 100k+ soldiers desperate to evacuate.
It's also useful to note that much of what people loved about the IE box model got immortalized into the standards as box-sizing: border-box. That bit of "required" boilerplate in almost every "Reset CSS" and CSS framework is a forever ode to IE had an easier box model to design with, and now it's the "opt-in standard" that most wild CSS opts in to.

> high manufacturing cost and the necessity for long hospital follow-up

The lead researcher behind the treatment claims the treatment cost under $20k to administer though, and I've never heard of mass production/adoption causing the cost of a product to go up in price (edit: excepting certain luxury goods that go up because they're a status symbol or something), certainly not >20x more... I know nothing about the medical field so I'm open to having my mind changed but that completely defies intuition. After seeing $450 bags of saline on a medical bill I had last year I'm much more inclined to believe they're just price gouging.

> Novartis is also not the only manufacturer providing CAR-T drugs at a high price.

I guess more than one company can do something despicable?

> offer alternative payment programmes

The "alternative payment programme" mentioned is "requiring payment only if the CAR T therapy induces a complete remission by a certain time point after treatment." I'd much rather pay $20k whether it succeeds or fails than $475k if it succeeds and $0 if it fails, if it fails I'm probably dead and don't care very much...
> I guess that’s just the natural envy in every human being.

The resentment toward the very wealthy isn't generally because of envy at all. It's what happens when people use their wealth and power in a way that harms others.
India has been enacting regulation enshrining SMS as 2FA for their entire Digital payments infrastructure. They even require storing all biometrics (FaceID etc.) on gov servers and not on-device. We are in for a decade+ of this at minimum.
I'll second that. I work in the renewable energy space where we get all manner of atmospheric and power data in a wide variety of units depending on the data source, so Pint is incredibly useful in normalizing them as well as making it clear in the code what and how unit conversion is happening. The fact that it integrates fairly nicely with Pandas and Numpy is great, too.
>That innkeeper would have used the signal of how the visitor looks

Not like that ever backfired.

>inkeeper would be able to tell

assuming that he have photographic memory and visitor did not change his looks by any way (shaving, getting scar etc.).

if you have to refer to 'looks' you have IP - it has exactly same power as signal as looks.

>Also your metaphor is not great because WEI can only happen after the first page load since it requires the site to use javascript to use the api.

for user that is irrelevant point. As people do not care about how you run server - only if they can use the page.

To put simple - I run My browser of choice on my OS of choice with my stack as I wish (otherwise I wouldn't run Linux). The idea that server owner should get any say about this is simply intrusive.
That's exactly the use case we want. We also let you specify the file path (ex: "main.py").

We noticed that Sweep's search works way better if there are comments, because the comments match up really well with the search queries (language <-> language is easier than language <-> code)
Rail company that launched first H2 line opts for all-electric future
I would love to use Polars today (I have a lot of thoughts about good dataframe API design, and Polars gets a lot of the big ones right - including removing indexes).

However we have a huge amount (and growing) of Pandas code - is there an easy way to convert that in small pieces to Polars code?
In video games, we've been using digitized people for ages, often not based off of a person at all. Nobody but a 3d modeller and a voice actor involved, plus some detailed texturing work, an animator, often from mocap

Newer tools are making the modelling part way easier, Eg, epics human making kit. Libraries like mega scans are enough for many projects too, and mixamo has replaced a lot of animator hours alone

Weird contrast, considering recent events
The video being sped up makes it feel dishonest. Would have been nice to have a regular recording.
On the other hand the term "global boiling" has recently popped up, so...

So among the remaining pool of actors, the main qualification is no longer "be attractive", but "be skinny enough to not obstruct the background."
I'd assume if it's done seriously, about 85% chance that person is a douche.
I can assure you that as someone that has done a couple Gov-related public-sites, some developers do think about it, and use suitable tools to ensure there's no issues.

Before the last-and-stolen-passports site went live (that I spent most of 2014 getting live - not writing - but mostly trying to get deployed), we did have a conversation, and easily proved that people called Mr or Mrs Null and/or O'Brien would have no problems. That conversation was also somewhat prompted by the Dartford Crossing site that went live a little before us - which had 'some issues'.
>Yes, but full of product placement and other marketing messages.

So like a regular show.
Almost every service or website uses DNS.

DNS load balancing is problematic and anycast is a much better solution for services that need that level of traffic management, but that's not DNS' fault. DNS is meant to be "computer A asks computer B what the IP address of google.com is", not "five million computers on five continents all need to be grouped into ten different groups based on nearest subnet and directed to a randomly organised list of servers", even if it does technically work.
Brave is a Chrome fork. It's not countering the Blink hegemony like Safari or Firefox.
Americans don't buy cars anymore, though; not really. They buy ludicrous gigantic heavy pickups and SUVs. So what we're really talking about is getting decent range into oversized pickups that their owners want to accelerate like sports cars and still have a nice air-conditioned interior even when it's 150 degrees on the pavement due to climate change.
This is awesome.

Show HN: Zep – pgvector-based memory store for LLM apps
Hey HN - we launched Zep's document vector DB today. Zep is an open source memory store for LLM apps, and this builds on existing chat history memory persistence, embedding, and enrichment capabilities.

Zep uses Postgres and pgvector for database operations and vector search. Vector search can be complicated on Postgres, with careful configuration required at both index creation and query time. We've focused on significantly improving this developer experience.

Zep automatically selects index and query parameters for developers based on best practices and known heuristics. Vector database operations are exposed via a simple Python (and LangChain) API for working with document collections, documents, and search results.

While we focus on LLM App use cases, you can turn any Postgres instance with pgvector into a vector database with great DX.

Our launch announcement: https://blog.getzep.com/introducing-the-zep-document-vector-...

I imagine that a lot of the Australian farms are going to be in the outback, where the quality of the land and feed for the cattle is marginal, and you have to farm extensively (ie. range cows on large tracts of land). They are not going to be irrigating and fertilizing millions of acres, so the feed is going to be relatively poor as compared to lush, green farmland you might be familiar with.
My family raises beef cattle on the side, mostly in the past it was just to help keep the property grazed down (it'll go fallow pretty quick if nothing is on it) and provide local higher quality, cheaper beef for folks in the extended family. At some point, my parents decided they wanted to try expanding the farm and actually selling the beef. They were shocked to learn that two guys control the local cattle markets and pay essentially "what they want" for anything and everything. Pretty much no one got more than $1/LB on the hoof for grass fed healthy cows.

They gave up and went back to a property maintenance sized herd after 10 or so years of that.
Is that what he's talking about? I thought he was talking about some pattern using first class classes rather than ever programmatically touching source?

The extras are not misreading the situation at all. Every single action taken is up to the individual, if a director wants to suddenly use the actors image in any way or something they'd disagree with, well they waved their rights so.

To say that fears are baseless because corporate will not take advantage of new methods and technology in spite of the workers is beyond ignorant. It's quite suspect, especially from a forum about the automation business.
I wrote a Clojure library that implemented version comparison for all of the package versioning algorithms I could find[1], and by faaar the Python version comparison algorithm was the weirdest, most annoying one to implement (PEP 440[2], the current standard at the time). So many exceptions to the rules that attempt to be helpful but didn't really help.

In my opinion, the best version comparison algorithm is that of the Debian package manager. Super simple, and very flexible. The description of the algorithm fits in just three paragraphs[3]. Most other algorithms implemented in the aforementioned library were actually implemented in terms of it. Prereleases, fourth version numbers, etc. anything you want basically fits nicely in that box.

PEP 440 was the only version comparison algorithm that couldn't be neatly implemented in terms of that of Debian's, beating out semver, maven, and rubygems for complexity.
