I think what’s incredibly cruel is blocking people from building additional housing on their own private land that could help affordably house people at ZERO cost to the state.

> Imagine being a young child, already traumatized by ending up homeless, and now the pet you've been growing up with gets dragged off by the authorities to be executed.

Im sorry but pets die, it’s a part of life. It can be traumatic no matter what the circumstances. But so is living unhoused on the street, I’d imagine.

And this is exactly the attitude I mean. You, a well intentioned liberal, like to think that we can regulate society and enforce laws without causing any trauma to anyone involved.

Sometimes you have to take away a pet from a family in the name of the greater good for society as a whole, for instance if that pet is a danger to others.

And I did not say that forcing people into shelters will fix everything. There are a lot of other problems including drug addiction and mental illness. It’s incredibly sad how far we’ve allowed the situation to degrade, and the climb out of here will be difficult.
Kafka itself no longer requires zookeeper.
I am sorry, but these busy diagrams are not helpful at all.
This article seems to be spreading some FUD, in particular this comment:

> Cloud economics – by design, Kafka’s replication strategy will rack up massive inter AZ bandwidth costs.

You're no more or less forced to put Kafka replicas in different AZs than you would be with an alternative.
It says this on the Uber website:

> In these cases of very high demand, prices may increase to help ensure that those who need a ride can get one. This system is called surge pricing, and it lets the Uber app continue to be a reliable choice.

The fact that only a fraction of the fare increase goes to the driver is misleading at best.

Another option is simple vandalism. Wikipedia mentions one archeologist thinks so:

Agreed. Though the 20 story apartment building is something I don't see happening tbh. The momentum is definitely here but I don't see it reaching that ideal. As with the highspeed rail it will likely hit some sort of deadlock compromise.
Shoes. I've made plenty of clothes, bags, and other more common sewing things. But making shoes is a cut above.

It makes me so sad that it's 2023 and we haven't fixed passwords. There's no need for any of this. Your email account (+ multi-factor as desired) will always be the weak link, so just reduce everything to that. Get rid of passwords.

Create a new standard that falls back to passwords to work with legacy systems, but going forward will enable a password keepers to just authenticate you with a generated random password saved encrypted to your cookies that the user never even has to see. Then reset it as needed through your email (+ multi-factor as desired) as needed.

User-visible passwords should die. Technologists should to get un-stuck from living in the current password paradigm. I've been wanting to make this rant a blog post but haven't gotten around to it - esp because I know it's been written about a million times already.

Gnu/Hurd strikes back: How to use the legendary OS in a (somewhat) practical way
I seriously think the long term future of computing is massive scale time series correlation with analog hardware that doesn't do discrete processing with I/O and on/off transitors

I vomited my theory down years ago - though I probably need to refine it.

https://kemendo.com/research/streaminference.html

Transformers IMO are basically pointing towards time series predictions as being the root of epistemological grounding for "intelligence"

We probably need a new type of computer to realize this (nb. A previous good friend did bring up the point that digital sampling at a high enough rate could approximate biological "continuous" sampling - but I think it's flawed theory)
But it has a very real impact on the settings you have to use otherwise to get a good shot?

That is, I'm mostly inclined to agree with you. But I also trusted a ton of the other discussion I've seen on this. Which seems to be largely in agreement that film itself had to change to get good pictures of darker skinned people.

I got the impression that if you go with black and white, you dodge many of these problems, amusingly. But adding color to the mix makes things very difficult.
> found them to be incredibly efficient while idling.

Its not really that they're incredibly efficient, its that the energy needed to move you home and back again overall is massively more than what you'd use idling. Its still a very inefficient use of energy, from the perspective of the amount of energy in the gasoline being burned versus the actual useful work you got out of it in the end.

In that video the 2012 Mazda 3 used $1.53 in energy cost to do pretty much nothing at all. There was some snow on the ground but it was otherwise sunny, so I doubt it really needed to try and heat that much but I don't really know the air temp. That pickup used $4.10 in energy cost to once again also do practically nothing. The Outback used $2.95.

My EV has a 68kWh useful battery pack. Idling for two hours in extreme heat might use 10%, but I doubt that. I'll regularly precondition for 15-30 minutes when its hot outside to bring it down to temp (way more work bring it down from 100 than keeping it 70) and it normally only eats a few percent of the battery, but we'll err on the high side it'll be fine. I pay ~$0.10/kWh. 68 * 10% * $0.10 = $0.068. And even then, if it was a decent-ish day outside (sunny, not cold wind or extreme heat, probably like in the video) my EV would have used probably less than 2% keeping the stereo and DRLs on for a couple of hours.

My EV is pretty similar to that Outback. So for about the same idling that Outback would cost almost $3 while my EV would cost less than $0.10.
Right - transient homelessness caused by unexpected and temporary loss of a living situation is the most common form. A large proportion of people in homeless shelters are employed, and will quickly leave the shelter.

i.e. there's a big difference in sensible remedy for a family that's in a shelter for a few nights after fleeing domestic abuse vs. chronically unsheltered, mentally ill

Most of the negative interactions people have are with the unsheltered (i.e. someone street sleeping) rather than the homeless, and it is often unclear even how cities would/should spend money to address those people - that's what Mayor Breed is really complaining about.
We implemented some cost-saving measures in April/May, but since then we reversed course and this current product should be the best it’s ever been. Have you tried it recently? Particularly in the new default mode (not basic search)?
It's truthiness. It sounds right to the biases that people hold dear. No one wants to think "there but for the grace of whatever, go I."

A part of American capitalism uses people up and spits them out when they stumble and fall. Broken bodies and broken minds look for some sort of balm to try to numb the pain. It's just that many people don't realize that they do it too, with addictions to alcohol, games, social media, pornography, or hatred.

We're blindly rushing headlong into a massive crisis of environment, society, government, and people. Homelessness, mass murder, harmful drug use, and fascism are all symptoms of this and no one wants to think about it.
Ah, so we're turning "a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare" into actual, real thing? What a truly disruptive synergy.
A serfdom supported by taxation (theft) isn't exactly the definition of equality. We should be aiming for individual liberty. Equality is a false god.
lossless? large sizes? multi-band (> 3) data? transparency? animation? I work in software support of scientific imaging, and jpeg-xl looks to be the only format to date that supports those features in addition to excellent compression and royalty-free licenses (we currently use jpeg-2000 which has no good/fast open-source implementation, we really on an expensive proprietary license with lots of restrictions on redistribution, in fact our industry is largely moving back to TIFF now with the storage factors you mentioned, but using 10x the disk space is non-trivial).
Probably the last rally car I had, which I "unrolled" myself. It was a 6+ month project of working on it before and after work. The previous owner had rolled it after owning it for two decades. 1982 Dodge Omni.

It's interesting because rally involves a large rule set for safety, and you also have to make the car survive harsh conditions.

Had to do body work, replaced and rebuilt a couple engines, and redid a lot of the wiring. I did it in a rented RV parking lot. I would take the engine hoist out of storage, assemble it at the lot, and then tear down everything at the end of the day and do it again.

Did a lot of rallycrosses, rally sprints, and a couple stage rallies that it DNFd due to mechanical failures on the last stage on both events. Very frustrating, but that's rally :)

At one point it did a stage with the temp gauge pegged at 400F. The co-driver and I were standing around in start control for the next stage while it idled, and I looked down at the temp gauge (mounted bottom center console) and saw the reading and was concerned - do I shut it off? Will it start back up? This was 12hrs into the event, so I was super tired.

The answer was surprisingly yes, and we fixed the cooling system for the next stage, but it broke halfway and eventually the freeze plugs blew out and we stopped due to concerns of hot steam coming into the cabin.

It drove off the trailer the next day! Headgasket blew across every cylinder.

New head and we entered in HDT. It did okay, but then the rear suspension fell out (!) On the last stage of 1st day. We spent so much time on the front it never occurred to us to check the rear suspension mounts...

When I entered that event I asked the co-driver what he thought and then tried to close his door, but it would not latch. Had to rebuild the mechanism before tech that morning. Foreshadowing at its best.

I think I'll stick to cars made in this century.

(WarpStream founder here) Not currently. One of the things we're looking to do next is make it so any topic can be "automatically" turned into a standard format in S3, something like Parquet/Iceberg/Deltalake so its easier to consume for application that don't particularly care about the Kafka protocol.
Boatbuilding is fantastic. I've done a couple small ones (canoe, kayak), and am preparing to do a sailing dinghy. All stitch-and-glue. I'd really like to do an old-school one of Pete Culler's designs with plank on frame.

In a world full of beeping and booping, working with wood, even plywood, is a welcome relief.
Well, one thing's for sure. Running Kafka on discrete VMs on a cloud provider "by the book" is ludicrously expensive.

I remember having a very simple discussion with quite a few customers about both Kafka and Hadoop that boiled down to this: Why replicate data at the VM/disk level when those disks are already provided as a fully redundant system? (in this case it was Azure storage, which provides locally, redundant, AZ-redundant or globally redundant storage, most of which are available to run managed disks upon).

This is why properly designed Hadoop/Kafka cloud managed services employ storage adapters to leverage the provider's baked in redundancy. And why some cloud providers have Kafka-compatible event brokers.

The rest of what WarpStream does is just icing on the cake (although I'm curious as to the internals and how they avoid inter-AZ charges).

(full disclosure: I work at Microsoft, but built Hadoop/Spark/Kafka clusters before joining nearly a decade ago.)

The Ultimate-Rare story: 40 years of brilliant British games
Kenya is a reasonable choice to launch a project like this. Among African nations, Kenya is very connected to USA and UBI. Altman already had OpenAI work in Kenya. It has both a stable government/economy and also high poverty and rural population. It has ~5% of Africa's population, so if you just picked a random place with a lot of people to operate, it's unsurprising to land in Kenya.

(WarpStream Founder) That's fair, but we think people shouldn't have to choose between multiple AZs and costs. All cloud providers recommend that critical workloads running in cloud environments should run in more than one AZ.

>Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

Every internet writer I've talked to, or heard speak publicly, had their own rationalization that amounts to admitting to the desire to entice with headlines that don't convey an idea of what's on the other side of the link, but disclaim malice sufficient enough to earn the label "clickbait".

>Sometimes people have some fun with the headlines – that's not "clickbait".

It doesn't make sense to have shelters in SF. It is the most expensive (or close to it) real estate in the US. You can get the homeless a private room in some places for the cost of a single shelter.

Now if someone has a job, you can't move them, that much is clear, but if you move out the rest, you will have more shelter space for the rest.

And while you are at it, nobody wants to be in an unsafe or unclean shelter - a shelter is not an appropriate place for a mentally ill person, who is not properly medicated.

Of course none of this matters, because nobody is listening to a bunch of people on a messaging board, even though we are smarter than they are.

Why Thread is Matter’s biggest problem
It takes me days to make Windows usable for myself by hosing all the garbage off it. And it's still a miserable experience. On the other hand, if I just install a batteries included Linux distro I get something I'm not necessarily thrilled about, but I can go pretty much straight to work. And if I spend a few days, I can set up a system that's exactly tailored the way I want it to be, eats an order of magnitude less RAM than Windows, and doesn't regularly break itself by forcing updates on me, changing settings from under me, etc.

MacOS is somewhat better than Windows(less garbage to hose off), but it's not worth the money of buying the overpriced unrepairable and unupgradeable hardware it runs on.

another thread where 'more housing', 'we must do more', 'politicians aren't doing enough' is the proposed solution. Lol. The simplest explanation is the love for drugs, and the lax laws against crime, and the removal of ability of people to defend themselves (ban on open carry). Whether HN likes it or not, it is progressive politics (voted in by the residents) which led to this. Which makes it really an SF problem and no one elses.
