> Your source states that relative road damage between two vehicles is the forth power of the ratio of their weights.

I wonder if that only works for weights that are not too low and not too high?

For example a typical Eastern grey squirrel weighs around 50 times as much as a typical mouse, and a typical chicken weighs about 7 times as much as a squirrel.

Does a squirrel crossing a modern highway really cause over 6 million times as much damage as a mouse, and does a chicken crossing the road really cause 2400 times as much damage as a squirrel?
If you use the library on a server in a node.js environment, wouldn't it be useful to fetch data (e.g. Remix / NextJS)?
Besides, I'm not sure if better-sqlite3 offers the listener functionalities I care about. Skimming the docs, it seems it doesn't.
Anthropic more than the other three really tries quite hard to depersonalise and dehumanise their LLM. It must be particularly important to them.
You could say the same of literally any outlet.

Watching Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi repeatedly roast NYT, CNN and MSNBC would make that obvious to anyone paying attention.

The magnitude is different indeed, see the Russiagate hoax. The whole entire thing was made up. And it wasn't Breitbart the one perpatrating it.
What is the WEF, other than a glorified think tank? Besides, the Western world (or at least, the idea of societies based on democracy and rule of law) is in decline anyway, with Africa and even some of our own sphere's countries (Poland, Hungary, Turkey, the UK and US) drifting closer and closer towards authoritarianism (and some like China and Russia having jumped there already).

Personally, I'm more afraid of that and the consequences (e.g. the current Russian invasion of Ukraine and the looming threat of Chinese expansionism, or the very real threat of yet another pandemic, not to mention climate change) instead of a guy who's running a fancy meetup.
> Strong disagree. Yes, neural nets are blackboxes, but the generated code can be idiomatic, modular, easy to inspect with a debugger, etc.

I think you missed my point.

If I'm inspecting code from another human, I'm going to make assumptions about the kinds of errors they're gonna make. There's probably obvious dumb stuff I won't look for because a human would never typically make certain classes of mistake. They're the self-driving car equivalent of driving into the back of a stopped semi truck because it was mistaken for a billboard, an error no human of sound mind and body would make.

So if I'm inspecting code written by a computer, I'll either 1) make those same assumptions and then run the risk of missing unexpected problems in the code, or 2) I'm gonna be overly cautious (because I don't trust the machine) and will examine the code with a fine tooth comb, which will take a great deal more time.
I took a Shapeoko 4 Pro CNC, which is a belt driven machine, and redesigned it around ballscrews for the X and Y motion. I reverse engineered the stock machine and rebuilt it in CAD, and made the new parts using the existing Shapeoko. It was made out of 6061-T6 aluminum, and some 3D printed components.

I'm also pretty happy with some of the cutting boards I've made: https://www.longtailwoodcraft.com/images/cube-board.jpg
"Yes we barricaded the only paved road to the plaintiff's business, but do they have evidence this harmed them, or mere speculation?"
Hollywood accounting... I was once approached to do some work for a (Dutch) movie and they first came with that having your name on the credits was the door opener to a career that would surely make the missed income look like peanuts. When that fell on deaf ears they suggested I do this one for free, but get paid for the next. Guess how that went.
> Anything that lowers mobility is bad.

Unions do the opposite, they raise mobility. The only mobility they inhibit are shareholder's mobility.

Companies are incentivized to treat employees as poorly as possible. Cutting benefits, salaries, positions. Overworking employees. Denying raises. All of these things are in the best interests of companies because it makes their bottom line look better at the next earnings report.

Unions are how workers reclaim those benefits. Unions are how workers tell companies "You think your bottom line is bad, watch what happens when nobody is keeping the gears turning". It's a financial threat to keep employees well paid. And that's the only lingo companies speak. There's a reason big corporations spend so much money union busting. Because they know they'll spend more money on their employees if they don't.

More money and better benefits means more time and availability to improve yourself or your situation. That's upwards mobility.

> These folks are competitive with Vietnamese and Korean outlets willing to do 80% of the work for 20% of the price.

This has been a threat since forever. The problem these companies have are 2 fold. 1. the communication barrier/time barrier that makes everything more difficult. 2. The people they pass over ARE talented and these studios run the risk of seeing new indie film makers eat into their profit margins.

> but a world where everyone is unionized I don’t think will have great outcomes.

The outcome we have now is already terrible. We lived through a period where most working class individuals were unionize and that was viewed by most as "when america was great". The 40s, 50s, and 60s had some of the strongest unions and best social infrastructure. It was the point when most businesses bent towards making their workers happy first and shareholders second.

Bring on the unions, the only people that will suffer from it are the extremely wealthy, and they'll survive just like the Baron robbers of the 20s.

> …as both threatened to do what FB has done in Canada

Meta has blocked access in Canada, so I wouldn't consider it a threat anymore.

You could claim this is a negotiating tactic, but I suspect time alone will not change these policies.

Neither Google nor Facebook see significant direct value in having news links on their platform - they don't think they'll have a significant drop in user traffic from users not being able to see a few Canadian news sites.
The last time I was running a cluster it was 2014-2015 and it was not too bad to get up and running, but it felt so heavy handed for what it was. The zookeeper requirement was frustrating. The fact that consumers needed to maintain offset state was frustrating (although... understandable). For the right use case I suppose it is 100% worthwhile but more often than not I have seen it used in places where other tools would be more appropriate.
I'm done with Hanlon and his Razor. It's useless.

I now use Hanlon's Shaving Brush. Its a broad brush that I use to paint every sketchy move businesses make. "Is it malice? Or is it incompetence that merely looks like malice?". I don't care! I'll assume malice unless otherwise shown.

It's not my job to try and find out how evil shit was done accidentally. It doesn't matter if they "oopsied" into selling a firehose of my data to a "trusted partner" to analyze to death. Nobody actually gives a shit at these companies, so I need to treat them all as if they're malicious. If the underlying cause was a bit of incompetence a few years ago, that does nothing for me when I'm discovering the fuckery.
Of course, it would actually be:

Do you have a good source on the history of AT&T and the FCC?
Worse, Google makes it really difficult for government GIS admins to upload the correct data. Last time I looked, if you ever want to update the bike/ped paths (like when a new one is constructed) they want you to upload ONLY the new part. This is really time consuming to extract only the new data, especially if you have multiple paths to update at the same time which are not connected. The sensible thing would be to just upload the entire path network for a city anytime there is an update, but apparently Google does not want you to do this.

Apple Maps is even worse, I don't think they even offer a way to update incorrect data -- not that I've been able to find. And it's super frustrating to use, because Apple Maps does not have a "Bicycle" layer that you can turn on and off to find pathways. They only appear if you plan a route. Totally idiotic.
How much of Tesla do you think is Musk?
For example, if Zuck choked Musk to death in a cage fight, what do you think would happen to the stock?

Obviously the odds of this happening are close to 0 but after investing heavily in Tesla I came to the conclusion (perhaps wrongly) that a good deal of the value in tesla stock is tied to Musk. He could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

So I sold and put it all in an index fund that still holds tesla but on a more diluted basis.

Just curious about your outlook on it.
Sure, it's for eternity. But what about food & mortgage today? This is exactly how people get convinced to work for peanuts, because they're 'a part of something' or 'supporting the arts'. But in the end if the result is a for profit thing you should simply be paid.

I built a tomato dehydrator (partially dried freezer packs from our garden, estrattu from Santa Cruz dry farmed Early Girls). We haven't opened a can of tomatoes in decades. Using four stacks of consumer dehydrator trays was a nightmare so:

A full sheet pan cart, like used in bakeries. Eight full sheet pans, lined with silpat nonstick sheets. A 1500 watt wall heater, a home brewing temperature controller, and a crawl space fan controller that looks like it belongs in a stereo stack. Build a plywood box around the whole thing. I had to swap in a less sensitive thermal cutoff to keep the heater from shutting off. Now we can process 60 lbs of tomatoes at a go.

There was a lot to figure out, no equations to help guess scale. I should really document this on a web site, the plans out there are very sketchy and wouldn't accommodate our scale.
There's no AJAX call in a SPA if all I did was close a detail side-pane to get back to the listing. The AJAX call goes on in background if I saved a modification and I can continue to use the app as it runs. And when I open a detail, at least I'm not watching the whole damn app reload and reconstruct itself from scratch for the 1000th time, and need to download just the data and not the whole bloated HTML mess.
So, it's kinda like my plan: run around screaming, and then look for someone to blame?
Great point. The basic semantics are very different too. In MQs you partition/namespace/channel (whatever you want to call it) based on how data flows in your application (e.g. fanout). In Kafka you're tied more to a persistance model so you end up with fat linear topics and the "filtering"/flow management happen on the consumer's side.

You can do that with a SPA. All SPAs I made and most of the ones I use support it just fine.
Putting aside the cases of coercion and rape, is there something fundamentally degrading about sex to a woman that demands special legal protection?

Providing good sex is a skill, whether it's paid or not. There is no reason to stop a woman. or anyone, who freely chooses to sell their sexual skills from doing so. The notion that a woman needs to be protected from her own choices is patronizing.
Availability of shelter, food, water, medicine, transportation. Are they evenly available to all? No. Are they there to be available? Yes. Neither Caesar Augustus not Louis the XVIth could have travelled from Los Angeles to New York City in a quarter of a day and it takes only 1 week of labor at USD 10/hour to obtain the needed money.

There are many measures of wealth for a nation though, and they aren't the same as measurea of wealth for individual people. What measures do you usually employ?
Socialism or collapse/anarchy --- take your pick.

You don't have to be psychic to see that concentrating ever more wealth in fewer and fewer hands is ultimately not a "good thing" for anyone --- even the wealthy.

If death is only the proof they will accept, so be it. It may well reach that point.

> the git commands map so cleanly to the states

I disagree. "checkout" does literally 2 unrelated things, one of them destructive with no safety checks. "reset" kind of moves HEAD around, but does a bunch of other stuff in the process. "Rebase" has a lot of magical (albeit useful) behavior involved in determining what exactly gets rebased. Etc.

> there are so many terrible GUI interfaces that try and coddle the developer, really hiding the intent

I agree. The CLI is confusing and occasionally obfuscates the data model, so adding yet another confusing obfuscating layer isn't going to really help. That said, a really good GUI that doesn't try to hide what's going on, would be a useful learning aid.

It doesn’t replace it, humans can always do art for self enrichment and fulfillment, just like the vast majority of artists were doing before image AI hit the scene, including the vast majority that thought they could exchange time for food and shelter this way and did not.

A 3-D chess board. No, not one of those lame ones that you can put on your desk with 3 boards. And no, not like the one on Star Trek either.

It was a full cube (8 x 8 x 8). Major pieces on boards 1 and 8, pawns on 2 and 7. The moves for the pieces project to three dimensions in a fairly straight-forward manner. Pawns can only queen on the farthest board from their start, on the farthest row.

The whole thing stood five feet tall, and you were constantly squatting to see what was going on across the boards.

If you accidentally delete the comments you can usually look the file up online, sometimes even just googling the name of the file will do the trick. Sometimes there's a default or template sitting right next to the file in its folder.

And I don't think you're going to find any arguments against your experience with Netbeans, at last recently. It's old software. New software doesn't just magically spring into being, it has to be written. And there's plenty of good replacements for NetBeans (I like IntelliJ) so I don't know what the issue is there. It's like calling Windows 3.1's Program Manager 'dated'... its like, well duh, of course its dated. It's old!

> The more people use your help files, the more you know your program sucks.

I really hate it when programs make important decisions for me. Having optionality kind of requires documentation, so one can understand the change they are trying to make. One man's intuitive is another man's pain in the ass. To say nothing of differences between culture, time period, training, or upbringing, that might change those assumptions.

If you want mindless information appliances, you are very likely holding one in your hand right now. Mobile is fantastic for that form of braindead design.

There's a massive difference in how I use a forum and how I use a company management system. MPA is fine for a forum, not for a company management system. This is the web indeed, and the company management app is just using the web browser as an app platform. No reason to conflate the two.
This could invite a pretty philosophical angle re. whether one is obliged to contribute to humanity, but I just tend to think you're totally entitled to pack up and leave at any point.

> Federal government's historical role to serves as a social safety net

This is not true. Medicare, section 8 housing and social security are (relatively) new inventions, and Medicaid is run by individual states, with some funding from the federal government.

By volume, most social programs are either state or county run, from job training to mental health and food assistance and so on.

As for what SF can do, it can designate emergency shelter space sufficient to get out from under the federal regulations preventing them from breaking up permanent camps. They can make cash payments contingent on going through some service which pushes people towards getting mental health care, addiction treatment, housing / job assistance, etc.

So long as they are paying people to be homeless, and managing themselves into a corner where they can't stop illegal camping, some people will choose to stay that way for one reason or another, and they will choose to do so in SF.
You're completely correct, I just wanted to provide some context on why many people choose to work in entertainment.

IMHO it's high time labor law enforcement starts cracking down hard on entertainment. Shit pay is one thing, but at least everyone knows what they're dealing with signing the contract - for me the worse issue is the blatant ignorance of working hour limits, break requirements and (at least in location shooting) ignorance of workplace safety rules, that routinely gets people injured and sometimes even killed.

Replying here instead of below because we hit depth limit. WarpStream definitely isn’t magical, it makes a very real trade off around latency.

On the read side, the architecture is such that you’ll have to pay for 1 GET request for every 4 MiB of data produced for each availability zone you run in. If you do the math on this, it is much cheaper than manually replicating data across zones and paying for interzone networking.

RE:deletes. Deleting files in S3 is free, it can just be a bit annoying to do but the WarpStream agents manage that automatically. It’s creating files that is expensive, but the WarpStream storage engine is designed to minimize this.

I will do a future blog post on how we keep S3 GET costs minimal, it’s difficult to explain in a HN comment on mobile. Feel free to shoot us an email at founders@warpstreamlabs.com or join our slack if you care for a more in depth explanation later!
