Docker is cattle, LXC is pets.

Docker packages applications, and should only really have one app inside it. LXC is similar to a vm in it presents itself as a stand-alone machine but uses the host kernel, it’s not like a vm in it’s not as isolated as sharing the host kernel.

So with LXC I agree, managing it is like being a sysadmin as that’s what it’s designed to be.

I use Docker for things that are stateless, maybe throw away, or just test an app quickly. I use LXC for things I want to run multiple services inside, more statefull, typically where people plumb a bunch of Docker images together in I’ll use LXC. The advantage in Proxmox is I tell Proxmos to backup my LXC nightly as it’s treated similar to a VM.

For making LXC feel less like needing to be a sysadmin, you can use Nix to build your LXC images and import in to Proxmox. Your LXC container becomes declarative and not to dissimilar to using a Dockerfile, it’s a far more powerful Dockerfile. What I’ve done is create a bare minimal NixOS LXC with some basic config and use that as a template then edit ‘/etc/nixos/configuration.nix’ inside the LXC on first boot. However as it’s just nixos you can build push the config remotely, use NixOps etc.

It’s a really good workflow using NixOS with LXC however it took me a while to get it as the docs are a bit thin and an old+new version of docs with the new version skipping things mentioned in the old you need to do, I.e change the tty to /dev/console to get a shell inside proxmox console.
Back in the day on /. they would just say RTFA and spare everyone the loquacious verbosity.
How long does your avg heavy use 18650 last? 9 months?

18650s are the absolute perfect example of this. Great little batteries.. for a few months.
Also, they had Lemmy.
Initially I used Godot’s scene format to store Enu’s levels, so someone could learn and prototype in Enu, then load the project into Godot for things Enu didn’t support. That didn’t really pan out though and I’ve dropped the idea for now. I’d love to revisit some day.

Currently Enu is just a consumer of Godot. I’ll update the description soon. Thanks for the interest!
>look how long folks stay in less-than-ideal jobs, even if there's little keeping them there besides routine.

Logically, if it was as easy to get promoted or move to a new job as shaking a hand and talking over the bar, people would move around more often.

But because current job ads above minimum wage ones are looking for degrees and multiple calls spread over a few weeks and certain skills/portfolio/hisory, it's a big barrier even before talking about studying the interview specific skills
There definitely is an attention economy… I would go further and say people are addicted to consuming news.

But this

> A huge number of people suddenly feel a need to have a hot take opinion on cutting edge superconductor research, apparently including nature authors.

I don’t understand. People are going to share their thoughts. Most wont be experts. So what? Is someone supposed to stop this? Are no one but experts supposed to care? Or try and make sense of it?
> Definitely nothing nearby at $99/night...maybe East Palo Alto

Why fixate on $99/night as if Google won't pay for/refund $500/night hotel stays and cover rentals for employees it requested to report to Mountain View? Even if there are no hotels nearby, Im sure there are dozens of hotels within walking distance of a Google shuttle stop all across the bay.

If Google won't pay for your hotel but still expects you to HFW (H@W?), well - that's a little gross.
To turn this around, a proof of concept is the fastest way to get code into prod ;)
I only discovered Hawkwind about 10 years ago, IMO if they had had a really good vocalist they could have been up there with Yes years ago! Even so, they're one of my favorite bands.
I realize this is probably not the solution you want, but there is an official iOS Safari extension that will intercept all address bar searches and route them to Kagi. I don’t remember how much it costs, and it doesn’t seem to work super well with private browsing, but it’s better than nothing and works well for what it is. Ymmv

Yeah it's BS on Google's part.

No, this person wasn't helping the company by speeding away from Law Enforcement.

Yes, Google is responsible for the overall quality of behavior of its crew, including vetting for stable people and not driving them crazy with work.

Google's workload might be a factor in drivers goin amok, or might not.

No, we don't know if Street View drivers are statistically better or worse than other professional or personal drivers.
Next year will be worse, but after that should be much cooler.

The 90 year "Moctezuma" cycle (think dust bowl 1930's - much warmer than this year, 1840's, 1750's and conquistador records from 1660's) is combined with a peak 11 year solar cycle and an el nino, will subside.

overall warming will still increase, so 2110's will be brutal, but late 2020's should be awesome -- cooler summers and warmer winters, longer growing seasons, more snow, rain, skiing, cheaper food etc.

> Which GPU is capable of all that? And which do you have a write up for this?

Anything down to an RTX3090. You need 16GB VRAM to comfortably fit llama2-7b-chat with 8 bit quantization and a 2048 context length with llama.cpp. I'm getting completions (in real time) that are easily on par with ChatGPT on a VM with a single V100. People are even getting decent performance on Mac silicon with Metal.
What makes this stuff so hard? I could probably find a Python tutorial to render a spinning cube in like 5 minutes, but as soon as you want to do ML you spend an hour just getting libraries to work?

Is there ever going to be standardization, the way a WebGL shader just works everywhere?
Fox News is the same level of journalism as guardian, verge and nytimes. As well as Wapo and CNN. I guess people are choosing to be in a bubble of the trash they like. Maybe because they don't know the billionaires that own the other media they think they are decent news sources.

Other surprising trash to me is people want to see: rtings.com and goodreads.com.

I really tried hard with Goodreads and never found good book recommendations there.

>One may argue about how to interpret that with regard to, for example, terminating a business relationship as a result

I think there's been far too little focus on this, which is the crux of it. IMO (an IANAL) it seems pretty clear that even though this is not an explicit new license condition, it de facto does prevent redistribution: i.e. "you can do business with us, but only if you do not exercise one of your rights" in de facto limiting that right

I would love to see this adjudicated. Is there a company that builds statically against RHEL and resells, or modifies RHEL as a paying customer and resells that could show material injury by this move?
The short of it is stereovision using hyperspectral thermal cameras, but the long answer is a bit more interesting.

The problem with doing stereoimaging with thermal radiation is that almost all objects are glowing due to radiation emission which blurs out the 3d texture of the object. The example they give is if you have a lighbulb with some texture, you can't see it when it's on(you might experiment with this in various 3d engines). This makes it difficult to do stereoimaging because everything is so blurry.

To do this they develop a way to deconvolute the temperature, emissivity, and light reflected by the object(they call this texture). They assume that the much of the reflected light comes from a couple objects in the scene with known properties such as the sky and ground which allows them to get an estimate of surface normal and do something like inverse ray tracing to estimate the light reflected by the object.

They also estimate the emissivity by comparing the spectra to a library of spectra for different materials. I think they use this as part a second step in their inverse ray tracing to work out reflected light and temperature of objects. Much of this is detailed in the supplementary information[0].

It's interesting because they have a passive sensor for depth which works at night, but also estimates what objects are made of. It may degrade when there are fires which may break some of the assumptions they make to estimate reflection or spills of IR absorbing substances. Gasoline, CO2, methane, and other gases can strongly absorb in the infrared spectrum. Which may interfere with temperature and material estimates.

I got a Unicomp model M with a trackball at the top right corner of the case and rubber dome keycaps (so I can use it at the office without annoying all my neighbors) and it's currently the longest running keyboard I've comfortably been able to use, for more than 7 years now. I had to use a gold touch 'tented' split keyboard for half a year when I was dealing with some sport induced wrist and hand issues, but otherwise a full sized keyboard hasn't cause me to develop any injury. I do appreciate that when I use the trackball my right hand cups the corner of the case and my wrist remains in a vertical position - that does feel kind of ergonomic. I have a left handed vertical mouse on my desk from around the same time I had to use the gold touch and it's a nice backup.

I did have keyboard related wrist issues in the past but it was mostly from truly bad keyboards - e.g. spent a couple of years using an Apple 'magic' keyboard. I have no interest in using a tiny reduced layout input device.

Hold up, does this mean that under heavy load the results change? Does this explain why it sometimes feels like the output quality changes?

Given so many here complaining abuot meeting a person to begin with: Beggars can't be choosers. Figure out who you'd want to have a family with first and then get around to the whole child part.

There's also adoption, but it'd admittedly be hard to be approved as a single parent.
Ask HN: Is there a future in which password management is sane?
Password management is just terrible. Vulnerable populations stand no chance against social engineering. Password manager apps are okay but the UX is pretty awful especially for non-computer savvy folks. People who think about this a lot -- is there a sane future?

I'm sure you meant w3schools but w3.org is where a lot of the official documentation for web technologies is and not affiliated with w3schools.
Gaming on linux has come a long way.

Depending on the game, there's still that classic linux hassle (aka series of hacks you can impress your friends with) that are needed to get some games working, but the number of games supported and working without the hassle is honestly surprisingly good imo. The typical ones that you can expect to cause a headache are the always on live service games with heavy handed DRM.
> Where did I shared 6 years old graph?

It's the only link of yours I quoted. Click it. The data is from 2017.

> you're wrong again.

No. You really can't do much constructive by criticizing pollution from 250 years ago by countries that no longer exist. If you actually care about the climate, you've got to look at where pollution is happening now and find a way to decrease and/or recapture those emissions.

Also, please don't "quote" my comment by taking snippets out of sentences or, worse yet, joining multiple snippets. It misrepresents what I wrote.
I take this to the extreme. Over the past 6 years I've thrown away...somewhere around 12-15 versions of my side project. Part of it is that my own requirements and opinions changed with each version, but another part of it is that I'm pathologically unhappy with my own work.

So yeah, maybe throw away the first draft, but don't do what I did.

An Instant Messenger to define the Future of Work after YC funds us
Greetings esteemed people of YC and Hacker News,

I am writing to you about a most unique offering.
I am the lead developer of Anoox.com which is the only non-profit Social network.
Recently we released a most empowering service, which is our Instant Messenger ("IM")
via which IM you can be continuously connected with your colleagues, family and friends
whether they are across California, across USA, across Europe or across the World
for instant secure communication, including Video and Voice calls - here:

https://www.anoox.com/instant_messenger_overview.php?sre=118

So 1st I would like to get your feedback about this IM.

2nd, I am going to be Applying to next YC batch based on a new company, of course regular
for-profit company, based on this IM offered as SaaS to define the Future of the Work. Think
Slack 10X better or think Hivebrite 10X better. FYI, the deal I have with Anoox non-profit Social
network is that I own 100% of the IP of all I develope and give to Anoox and Anoox can have a
perpetual use of these software, but I own the IP 100% which I can take to a new company when I want.
This is actually great arrangement for building great software since you/I can develop under Anoox
and have Anoox large user base test it to debug it and make sure it is ready for commercial release.
So the IM is good now, it is being used by 10s of 1000s, as you can see yourself by signing-up
and start using it. FYI, membership costs less than 50 cents per day.
But this IM is going to become much greater, after we get funded by YC and work on it exclusively
for 3 months at YC to its next version.

What do you all think about applying to next YC batch based on such an offering?

And last but not least, I am looking for a co-founder since currently I am the sole founder
of this company. Of course I am Techie as I am developer of this service and all
other services of Anoox. So you can also be Techie or you can be marketing company builder type.

Looking forward to your comments.
Bad example. Speeding fines are set to be low enough to not deter you, and be lower than the transaction costs of fighting them, so the government can maintain a revenue source.

> all this material wealth and “progress” and yet we’re observing increasing numbers of the unhappy, depressed and aggrieved.

I don't think anyone is denying the wealth gap increasing. both can be true when you remember that the 1% own 50% of the world's wealth.
I would agree with this assessment. I generally flag politics here, but this introspective article is actually quite illuminating and worthy of some level of discussion.

I hold my breath over the potential of the worst commenters on HN though, but hope for civility

You just don't do it according to whom? I would consider viewing the fullsize image to be core functionality for an image search, and it used to work just fine on GIS up until a few years ago.
Is there a /bestof for HN? Because this belongs there.

Comedian Phil Wang has this joke about Netflix not recommending him his eponymous show the day it was released.

Yep. Kivy was a big part of my journey to usually wanting nothing to do with any niche or obscure tech.

It took me a long time to learn that no matter how awesome the concept seems, if it's not extremely popular (aside from very simple things) there's probably an issue somewhere.

At this point I would rather just make web apps for most everything, and I wish they'd just merge android and ChromeOS so we had an easy way to make simple cross platform stuff, while keeping the Android APIs for more powerful stuff.

Right but that's not an inherent GPU determinism issue. It's a software issue.

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/3103#issueco... is correct that it's not necessary, it's a choice.

Your line of reasoning appears to be "GPUs are inherently non-deterministic don't be quick to judge someone's code" which as far as I can tell is dead wrong.

Admittedly there are some cases and instructions that may result in non-determinism but they are inherently necessary. The author should thinking carefully before introducing non-determinism. There are many scenarios where it is irrelevant, but ultimately the issue we are discussing here isn't the GPU's fault.
I've never had a problem yet and I gave up on two factor authetication. If I told people what I do:

1. They would not believe it works
2. They would steal my clear text file containing all my secrets.
Mathematically, computation is deterministic. The author dismisses or ignores the many ways that the physical apparatus driving the computation can force the result of a software application to be a function of time.

Calling GetTimeOfDay() could do it.

Clock frequency drift between multiple processors could it.

> The Jeff Bezos-owned site can be an ugly place to be.

Jeff Bezos doesn't own Goodreads. Sorry to be pedantic, but this has come up a couple times recently, so it's becoming a pet peeve. He stepped down as CEO two years ago, and does not own a majority of Amazon stock. He is executive chairman of the board, but there is no factual sense in which you can say that he owns (or even exerts direct control over) Goodreads or any other Amazon company.
It's accurate. Stellar winds are the primary driver of mass loss for stars near the end of their lives. Asymptotic red giants have extremely voluminous and sparse atmospheres very loosely bound by gravity; any excess radiation pressure would create an instability and blow away portions of the outer envelope. Eventually this exposes a dense, glowing carbon/oxygen/neon core surrounded by a fraction of the original atmosphere (exact composition varies), which we call a white dwarf.

Every time Kagi comes up, a lot of folks say it is too expensive. That it should be unlimited. That if it was just $x per month, then it would be worth it. That they feel uncomfortable about the limits.

I will simply say that I cannot imagine going back to being a “user” of a “search provider” over being a paying Kagi customer. It is the single most critical service I worry about losing.

If they octupled the price tomorrow, I would murmur an expletive under my breath, then thank god that they didn’t choose to go down the path of fucking me over by materially changing the business model to adtech, and continue paying them.

I am actually not sure what at what price point I’d drop the service. I’d probably start looking at canceling less used subscriptions first. Another shitty Gal Gadot Netflix movie has negative marginal value for me.

If you haven’t tried it for an extended time and used its core features, then you don’t get it and no one can explain it to you. “Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.”

Edit to add: this is search we are talking about. It is literally your entry point to the world’s entire body of knowledge and ultimately affects your decisions and actions both daily and over the long term. And nearly everyone is perfectly happy to let it be run by companies that make more money when they lead you astray to click bait, hot take, content farm, and AI generated sites. Garbage in, garbage out, both in software and the knowledge you depend on to live a thriving life.
I can't argue with Crimson's "Red" as an introduction to the joys and excesses of Prog Rock, though I think "Discipline" is a better one.

I feel like this author really does not like prog rock though. Or is working very hard to convince his readers that he is, actually, too cool for this discredited genre of popular music. I am not too cool for it; I am past fifty and I quit caring if my musical choices made me cool somewhere in my twenties. I just like listening to music nerds who have spent decades learning to play incredibly intricate music and make it seem effortless.

That was half of it—the other half was some businesses would prefer to not have a credit card processor party to their sale. It could be for a number of reasons that that are perfectly valid and legal.

Ah, integration with other tools is currently what I didn't think about too much, but I completely agree with the need. People usually have their own way to manage references.

Basically all of the states of Reason (i.e., the paperbase) is a single YAML file that looks like this: https://github.com/jaywonchung/reason/blob/master/examples/m...
Pretty much every command is reading from or writing to this file, or both.
So, if you can find a way to convert that to the Reason YAML format, you'll be able to use Reason at least as a paper browser, opener, and note taker.

Is there anything more that you envision in integrating Reason with your Zotero workflow?
Brother rejected my 3rd party toner on the MFC-L3750CDW after an automatic firmware update. Fuck them, I said at the time.

Then I bought a far cheaper second-hand Brother printer, turned off firmware updates, and have continued using 3rd party toner. So only kind-of fuck them, I guess, because their printers do the job pretty well.

But I am glad I switched to mono, because the colour MFC would have cost AUD$550+ on genuine toner (3 colour + 1 black). Too much for casual usage once a month.
