Is it really that hard to install netdata? It's a single command.

It is really no different than managing VPS's, in all honesty (just less expensive and tangible). I spend less than one hour a week doing updates and routine maintenance. Drive failures happen rarely, and can usually be swapped out within a few hours (this is what RAID is for).

More time is spent dealing with k8s and it's shenanigans than dealing with the actual servers.

How did you measure CPU draw?
Is that the kind of UBI we want though? If it has a single issuer, like the government, then it has a single point of control which can be used to coerce people (i.e. by threatening to take it away).

The ideal UBI system would let you threaten to overthrow your government in a way that does not threaten the integrity of UBI. It ought to be a safety net that makes otherwise impractical growth possible.

As a crypto, CirclesUBI is a bit of a disaster (e.g. the hosted UI, and sensitivity to certain kinds of attack), but I think they got the tokenomics right: it encourages Sybil resistant behavior among the users without trying to bind an address to your body and without relying on an issuer's good behavior.
> Is there a good writeup about why people want this over other, existing formats?

All the existing JPEG files can be converted to JPEG XL while gaining 20% size and still having all the exact same data. There are, what, tens or hundreds of billions of JPEG files out there for which the "original" (RAW or anything) is long gone (or never existed) and people don't want a "photocopy of a photocopy".

You can even decompress the JPEG XL back to the original JPEG file, bit for bit.

For that alone there shouldn't be any question: it's a wonderful feature.

In addition to that Apple / Safari are going to support JPEG XL and there are huge number of applications supporting that format.

People don't want this "over" existing formats. They want this in addition to other formats.

And I think they'll get it.
Can't remember the exact quote but:

"People who use Ubuntu know Ubuntu, people who know RHEL know RHEL, but people who use Gentoo know Linux"
> it felt paradoxical that users might want a scaled down Kafka rather than using SQLite directly if the scale didn't matter.

I don't need to push very many messages (not enough to justify running Kafka), but each of the messages that I do push are both 1. very important and must be cross-AZ durable, and 2. very urgent and must not be blocked by e.g. contended writes in a regular RDBMS.

Currently, the winner of this use-case for IaaS customers is "whatever cloud-native message-queue service your IaaS offers." (And those customers would also be the extent of WarpStream's Total Addressable Market here, given that WarpStream's architecture fundamentally relies on having a highly-replicated managed object store available.)

I'm therefore curious: in what ways does WarpStream win vs. Amazon SQS / Google Cloud Pub/Sub / Azure Queue Storage?
I ended up taking a 0 on every homework assignment and had a C in the class instead of an A+. Fuck that teacher.

I'm curious why/if your parents didn't step in to correct the injustice.
Very cool. I wanted a custom frame for my hard to fit wife. The bike shop (dragonfly bike shop in Davis CA) offered a custom frame or I could build one myself for the same price.

I ended up taking the semester class that met twice a week for an evening. Had an overview of bike design, light overview of drafting, and used a 1:1 frame drawing on paper. Handy to be able to hold up the frame you are working on up to the paper. It was fun to go from a pile of bike tubes to a usable bike frame. The meeting of 4 tubes at the bottom bracket had a surprisingly complicated interface. I'm glad I sprung for the powder coating at some bike frame aware place, maybe Cycle Art?

Recommended if you get the chance.
Package managers are useless for getting the latest maven, gradle, or ant version. This in combination with there being multiple poorly-documented ways to set environment variables and there being no GUI for any of them means that setting up for Java development is massively worse than Windows the instant you step outside of your IDE.
I just got back from a family reunion a week ago. Half of the people flew out from Egypt to attend. I learned a lot about their opinions on Egyptian domestic politics. A disclaimer, they are all educated Muslims (only 1 Copt). They also strongly prefer democracy but are realists about it. They all drink, don't wear hijabs, and are very moderate.

They do not agree with the revolution. They believe the revolution was fueled by fake news. They liked Mubarak, as far as military dictators go. They strongly disliked the Muslim Brotherhood and many fled to America when it became clear the MB was going to take power.

Mubarak did not flee. He was arrested, tried, and found not guilty on all accounts. Morsi (MB) was arrested soon after taking power. He was tried, convicted, and jailed. Morsi sold national security information to Qatar and the UAE. They respect Mubarak as truly caring for Egypt but losing control of the elites in his old age.

The new guy, Sisi, is still very new and they are waiting to see how he does. Mubarak sold government contracts to his posse of businessmen. Sisi sells contracts to the military. They dislike this because it stifles domestic companies and a strong military can get out of control quickly. They're waiting to see if Sisi's infrastructure plans actually kickstart more domestic economic growth.

I don't know what to think. I do remember Anderson Cooper getting in front of the American people and cheering for the MB. Calling Mubarak a dictator. Mubarak was a dictator but the MB was a fundamentalist, crazy organization. My Egyptian family in the US lost their shit when American media supported the MB. Mubarak never mowed down protestors in Cairo. He didn't flee the country. Whatever your opinion, whatever the truth may be, the situation is complicated.
Oh wow. Thats very well done and also an extremely alarming looking object
No Phind links will be indexed or become easy to view for anyone else unless you share it on an indexable site (like Twitter), which implies that you're willing to make it public anyway. That said, we will add controls for this.
No, not refrigerant. I think I ruled that out pretty quickly because one of the symptoms was icing on the evaporator side - so I figured the compressor side was producing enough cool.

At the end of the day the problem was the evaporator blower motor. It was insidious because it certainly worked and moved air around, but it was something like a 3 speed motor and the 2nd speed was failing and not moving enough air around, hence the icing and not producing enough air, something like that.
Or... the source of record can publish an xml file or something when there's updates to the signed diff... rss. No slow consensus model needed.

If you aren't in an adversarial context with multiple publishers, you don't need blockchain.
Because they're not as bad as crypto.

You can find all three of those in much worse forms embedded within crypto.

There's this recurring refrain that the US is threatened by losing its reserve currency powers to bitcoin, Bitcoin can't be a reserve currency. The great depression was caused by double digit deflation, Bitcoin experiences double digit deflation and inflation every few months.
We'd be interested to hear examples or ideas of how this could be useful for you!
I really hope that locking pricing information behind a login is a bug at your end, because I'm not even going to consider a service that doesn't have up-front, clear pricing information. The very flowery MBA language you've used to side-step the question makes it seem intentional, however.

Why would users invest time going through your onboarding flow if they don't know whether they can afford the product, or what sort of value they should be expecting it to provide?
iirc you go to a place that can verify your identity through other means, and they'll update your iris scan or give you a yubikey you can use instead or something.

Their papers say they were using Common Crawl for crawling. If you didn't want your pages in Common Crawl (eg. Twitter didn't) for use in many downstream analyses or uses beyond just OA, you could already have said so in your robots.txt.
The fact that it's using devs from 'remote countries' says to me they want to pay low wages. If this project paid market wages and was for devs worldwide who met minimum qualifications, I'd think it was cool. As it stands now, it just comes across as borderline exploitation.
They still need current data or their GPT models will be stuck at september 2021 forever
I am not implying the strawman hypothetical you proposed.

I think the confusion might be that the strawman doesn't even follow logic, TBH.

Were did the Sacramento Democrats comment come in? I simply stated that the article highlighted federal decisions and blamed other governments for the consequences of those decisions. In that set of circumstances, Sacramento Democrats are equal to SF progressives, as they are both bound by a higher power (The Federal Government).

And to answer the question I think that you're asking, yes, I do believe the Federal government has a lot more power to solve homelessness than SF or California does. Do you think otherwise?

EDIT: I also think this fascination with Democrats vs. Republicans really misses the point here. This shouldn't be a competition to lay blame. That's the top symptom of broken government.

It should be a creative endeavor to solve the problems and it saddens me that so many people don't feel that way on this supposed "hacker" forum.

EDIT 2:
>Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

I disagree that a city of 800k residents has the resources to solve a problem that's plagued every society ever.

I think the largest and wealthiest government in history is much better suited for the task.

I also think that SF being in the United States 100% makes it the Federal Government's issue, not some isolated thing that most people who live in other places can ignore. Like it or not, most homeless people are American citizens who happen to choose to live in SF right now. They can leave SF, but can't leave America.
Personally, the biggest appeal of Arch is the great wiki, a large number of up to date packages without snap/ppa whatever else Ubuntu makes you do, and the AUR for anything else that isn't available in the regular package repos.

I've only used Ubuntu for work, and typically the versions of things are quite out of date. Where as Arch, for all it's warts and costs (setup, maintenance etc) gives you those things for free.

I haven't found Arch that much more difficult to work with. For 2 years I used it on a work laptop without issue. Only recently messed up something while updating firmware drivers which requires more than 5 mins/week/month to diagnose.
Notably, some pre-glass cockpit military aircraft had (and some still have, e.g. B-1B) analog "tape" displays for these values as well. Only in the civilian sector were round dial gauges the standard right up to glass cockpits.
I'm looking at doing some of that and having a hard time finding good resources. What did you use?
Very much agreed. The principle of charity is an important virtue when reading things online, and only the audience is capable of bringing that to the table.

I have on a number of occasions misread a statement as its opposite (skimming over a 'not' or forgetting important context, perhaps). That might offend me to the point of making an argument, and I think it would be crazy for me to expect an apology rather than a "I didn't say that, you argumentative prick".

That's the extreme case, where the error is unquestionably my own, but there's a vast gray area where I might default to a less than charitable interpretation of someone's words and they haven't done anything wrong. For example, if someone were to describe my word choice as gross[1], I might take that as a personal insult. Putting the responsibility on the writer to account for every possible interpretation from every possible audience member is a great way to abolish good writing altogether.

[1] Using this example not to go after the author here in particular, but to avoid using a more divisive example that's not already part of the conversation
> It's a Jedi mind trick.

All compression is. :^) The additional twist is that our eyes/brains do a great job at glossing over compression artifacts that we're used to.

When you expand the image, you can change the formats on both sides for A/B testing. Comparing "JPEG - 20.7 kB" to "AVIF - 18.2 kB" is an enlightening like-vs-like size comparison.

I'd be happy to do an AVIF encode of a large uncompressed/losslessly compressed image that meets your "near visually lossless" bar. I'm assuming that JPEG must do better in comparison to AVIF at large file sizes, but I can't find good examples of this.
I have always wondered where the bridge and lake nomenclature came from at Intel and why they keep them.
I can't speak for now, but you have to apply for access. For PII it goes to a VP.

De-anonymizing a Gaia ID is about as secure as it gets.

Disclosure: this is 6 year old info. YMMV.
Yes, that's exactly why I emphasized "daily driver" like 3-4 times in my argument. If you hava a gas guzzling gaming PC that you use rarely because your daily driver is an M1 or ARM tablet, then that inefficient PC doesn't make a difference.

My point was only if these old PCs are daily driven on a daily basis as workhorse machines, then the lack of efficiency becomes an sensible issue.
My Chrysler does this. Thankfully the screen goes away on its own after some amount of time (I've never bothered to time it, but it's definitely seconds rather than minutes) if you don't click the Okay button.
This was a very long time ago, but it's what comes to mind.

In middle school we had an egg drop competition where we needed to make a device that would allow a raw egg to survive a fall from the ladder on the back of a fire truck. The device was subject to various limitations like not having a parachute or an engine.

Everyone else had these elaborate contraptions with springs and whatnot. My solution was a bunch of egg cartons bound together with twine. I made it in half an hour. It was the only one that survived the first round.

I think you could have dropped it out of a plane.

I'm starting to think Bond villains need to have a "satire" disclaimer to pre-empt future Stanford kids from thinking it's something to aspire to.
You need to look into their history of how they've dealt with traditional media. They are consistent about one thing, which is, they operate on bad faith. Their bad faith operations have had a hugely detrimental effect on real media; I am proud that my government does something rather than nothing, and I think it's fantastic that Facebook has "made the most logical business decision," because it gets them the fuck out of our business lol
Yeah that stood out to me as well.

I think the LEDs are a nice option to have. Piano bars sometimes have big mirrors suspended over the stage so you can see the player’s hands; this is a much more flexible way to achieve a similar effect.

The solenoids though…. Oof. To your point, pressing a piano key is so much more than a binary on/off. Digital keyboards are quite good, but still different. It should certainly be possible to make a version of this that works, but (1) binary solenoids ain’t it and (2) the result would be fundamentally different from a traditional piano.
I use them but I would count them as some of the worst products I'm forced to interact with.
> it just goes away without being pressed when you start driving.

Some don't, I'm afraid to say.

"If you ignore this automatic popup warning in order to focus on driving, the screen will continue to display the message indefinitely at maximum brightness to distract or blind you for your entire trip until you take your attention away from the road to turn it off."
You realize that the IRS deals with rampant fraud right? And with emerging technology, the capabilities of criminals to steal identities is only increasing. People file taxes for dead people or people whose identities have been stolen all the time. Recently, to deal with this, the IRS has outsourced their identity verification to a third party company, id.me, who gathers way WAY more information than Worldcoin does, and it's barely making a dent in the fraud.

It's very obvious that the vast majority of people hating on Worldcoin have never taken a moment to consider the actual problems being solved here, and especially the critical importance of solving them now.
I made a kind of theremin based on an Arduino and cheap distance sensors (HC-SR05). It's basically a MIDI controller that emits CC values relative to the distance of the player's hands.

Yes, someone should do it and be a legend.
i recommend offering a 6mo-1year plan. I can use my company's L&D budget on this, but if I do a monthly plan, I have to create a new expense report with a spend authorization every month which is painful (and I simply won't). Let me pay you!

Officially Launching
Hello, Hacker News!

After doing YC startup school, I have some exciting news to share! Today we are offically launching Rooster Inc., a company committed to modernizing the car buying process through modern digital retailing tools.

We're currently running beta tests with a few vehicle listings on rooster-motors.com to demonstrate our concept. We would appreciate any feedback on what information you find most important in a car listing. All feedback would be incredibly helpful to us!

Please take a moment to visit our website, rooster-motors.com, and share your thoughts here or via email at enadi@rooster-motors.com!

Your support means a lot to us. Thank you!
That's a bunch of propaganda. Sure it takes longer for the initial setup, there's no "click this button to install Gentoo" menu, but once you've got it setup it's easier to maintain.
Car manufacturers get bonus points when the screen obscures the backup camera feed.

My car's crash safety rating was significantly dinged because lower trim lines don't have low beams that follow the steering.

I wish they'd deduct a star for "there is a circumstance in which the car is on, and the main console is displaying a non-time-critical-popup, or refusing to accept input".

On a related note, why do car manufacturers make you come to a complete stop on the freeway so the person in the passenger seat can type an address into the navigation system?
Yep. Jumped ship after Windows 7 due to pervasive telemetry. That was a deal breaker for me. It's funny that Windows (and its ecosystem) getting shitty is the major factor of "Linux desktop" happening.

I figured that the effort of decrapifying Windows has outgrown the effort of configuring a Linux system, and furthermore, the former becomes obsolete with every Windows update, but the latter stays with you forever.

In 2022, Linux port of Far Manager, far2l, got a fork with LuaJIT scripting support, far2m, and that was the last thing holding me on Windows.
I’d strongly disagree that the tech is solved.

We are talking about providing an 1/8th of the worlds population with electricity for the first time. That is a huge challenge.

Now add into that doing it in a way that won’t destroy the planet and the fact these people are in some of the remotest areas of the world, it’s definitely not a solved problem on the tech side.

We haven’t even figured out how to supply the current population sustainably let alone another 850 million.
> The video is supposed to be encoded in Rec 2020. The panel is what it is.

Worth noting that it is physically impossible for current flat panel displays to have full coverage of rec.2020, because the spectral width of each primary is too wide with current flat display tech (LED, LCD, etc.)

Full rec.2020 coverage requires the use of lasers, so you can get a ~spectrally pure primary.

My prediction is that the next big move in display tech after 8K will be a transition from LCD/LED to VCSELs or some other teeny laser pixel, so they can advertise full rec.2020 coverage.

After that, maybe tunable quantum dot lasers so they can get full CIE 1931 coverage, but that's probably at least 15-20 years away.
Many systems might just be using Kafka to drive async batch transaction processing (think: sending emails, charging credit cards), and therefore don't care at all about availability.
Deciding where to fix your point is also calculation specific if you want to keep up your accuracy. I'd expect the effort to be pretty proportional.
Marfa was able to draw many creatives in part because foundations (like the Lannan Foundation for writers) paid well for them to spend a season or a year there.

The cache is for reads, not writes. There is no cache for writes.

We built our own because it needed to behave in a very specific way to meet our cost/latency goals. Running a MinIO sidecar instance means that every agent would effectively have to download every file in its entirety which would not scale well and would be expensive. We also have a pretty hard and fast rule about keeping deploying WarpStream as simple as rolling out a single stateless binary.
As much as I dislike Paypal as a company, for those of us who support crypto, I do feel that it needs more rails for consumers. They have been fairly quietly supporting crypto for a long time now. Their focus on Bitcoin and ETH and not an endless stream of shitcoins, is quite nice.

The thing that annoys me most is people listing their run-from-home business on the map.

This is explicitly against Google's TOS but they don't stop people putting them on.

You can flag them, and Google do remove them. Scan your neighborhood, click any business which is clearly actually a house, click Suggest an Edit > Close or Remove > Not open to the public.

I've had a lot of success removing a whole ton of spammy junk from the map this way.
I think the lower the dimensionality, the harder it is to align pieces. For 3D material you could probably just grind your impure sample down into a powder, isolate the grains that levitate, and press them back together. That wouldn't preserve structures in 2D though, let alone 1D.
You can drop in replace Manjaro with EndeavourOS to achieve Arch on easy mode these days.
The "existing solutions" all rely on tying every single thing you do to every single other thing you do, which is a very nasty constraint.
A lot of shops have popped up recently in the city purporting to sell high-res prints of your iris. I thought it was pretty weird, in the same level as mattress stores suddenly appearing everywhere. Now I wonder if there isn't some iris-scanning crypto scam underneath.
