I saw someone mention kagi, a premium search engine, on here recently and I've been loving it. Hadn't heard of yandex, I'll give that one a try too.

Google definitely has an incentive to push content farms covered in Google ads to the top of its search engine, whereas a premium service's only incentive is to provide the best search engine possible.
No, it can't even come close to reaching orbital velocity. Fundamentally it's just a plane with a rocket motor on it that can go up and back down; something which could orbit and deorbit would be a completely different vehicle entirely.

I went ahead and compiled and installed the current version of RTMIDI, and now it fails with something else that looks like some file is not compatible with current CMake:

There might be issues even with normal linux boxes, just because of bit rot.
If these folders are user-visible (for example browsable in SharePoint) then this leads to a bad user experience. The downside of restricting channel names needs to be weighed against the downside of needing to escape the SharePoint folder names.
This is something I've been curious/interested in for a long time, so its good to see that somewhere out there (random Pacific islands aside), there's communities making it work.

Some rough numbers I did a month or two ago - Tesla offers a megapack that has 3.9 MWh at a cost of $2.4m. "In 2021, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. home was 10,632 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Or about 886 kWh per month." That's about 30 kWh per day; my community has 45 houses, so use of 1.35 MWh in total, so a megapack will provide power for 3 days for the community at a cost of ~50k per house. Probably not worth it and I'd expect 3 days to be overkill. But a community that was double our size will have a cost of about 25k per unit for 1.5 days of power - which doesn't sound too bad to me.

Another thing I've found interesting is Anker seems to be getting into the home power business - https://www.anker.com/anker-solix/home-energy-solutions?ref=... - which I'm hopeful about, since it doesn't seem like anyone except Tesla has been able to make something that feels simple/easy/attractive. Every time I've look at Powerwall alternatives I'm been unimpressed by the offerings; maybe Anker can deliver.
Thanks for linking that; seems like it's a bit of both:

on one hand he notes that "computers were expensive in those days and it took me years of nagging before I convinced my father to buy one, a TRS-80, in about 1980", but later during his adult years "wanted to go back to RISD, but I was now broke and RISD was very expensive, so I decided to get a job for a year and then return to RISD the next fall."
And let's not forget that "computer" used to be a job title, not the name of a machine.
The rumor I heard is that it came with a ton of restrictions:

- If Barstool sells, Penn gets 50%
- Barstool cannot accept gambling adds for several years (which would compete with Penn)
- Barstool cannot go into the gambling business

Since Penn is going to partner with ESPN, they had to get rid of Barstool, but that's too controversial for many players to take over.
Well, that's not one conversation, except for

Is there a good technical analysis on whether microgrids are helpful in the context of a first world country with a reliable, well-run large electricity grid?

On the face of it, larger grids seem better. I simply don't believe this claim in the NYT article: "microgrid also eases the burden on the local utility, because it can disconnect from the larger grid during a period of overload". (Either the microgrid doesn't have enough power or has too much; either way it'd be better to share its resources, no?)

As a PG&E customer I'm stretching a lot to assume "a reliable, well-run grid". I've got my own picogrid here with solar and a generator because our grid is so badly run. But I'm still a technocrat optimist and think most grids can be run at very large scale well. Am I wrong?

For a somewhat different approach, I recommend looking into a fashion/music company called Maison Kitsune. Quoting Wikipedia:

> Maison Kitsuné was founded in 2002 as a record label by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki in Paris. The founders first met in Loaëc's record shop in Paris where house music lovers, including Kuroki, Daft Punk, and others, frequented. After a trip to Japan for a music video together, they came up with the idea of launching a lifestyle brand not confined to one discipline. The result was Maison Kitsuné, which blends music and fashion as a multi-faceted Paris-meets-Tokyo brand. The pair promoted the brand by performing DJ sets, which was followed by the release of the first t-shirt, shirt, dress, and eventually a full fledged ready-to-wear collection in 2005 that represents 90 percent of its revenue today.

The lesson here is: whatever niche interest or community you are involved in, try to combine it with your record label project. This is more unique and has a better chance of success than just a generic label.
Why bother waiting!?

There's a somewhat solid argument that law school is of massively diminished relevance for SCOTUS than it is for, say, a fed appeals court judge. You can (and do) have very knowledgeable clerks providing appropriate factual legal guidance, but most SCOTUS decisions, by the very nature of the court, are not really tied into "what the law is".

The core problem here, which TFA outlines at some length, is that while there is nothing particularly wrong with wanting "the best people for the job", it isn't clear that Ivy+ education is the right metric/gatekeeping to use for this task.
People don’t talk about it because they don’t have the vocabulary to talk about it. We act like the descendants of English/Dutch north-easterners, who profiteered from slavery (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/04/slavery-probe...) are in the same group as German immigrants who came to the Midwest as indentured servants or Italian immigrants who came here in the 20th century. The false concept of “white people” totally obscures the fact that there are different groups, with different histories, origins, and cultures, who are very differently situated.

That's the opposite of my experience. BASSMOD (XMPlay) is, second to actually running the original replayers on the Amiga, the most accurate MOD replayer I've ever come across. Unlike e.g. Milky~ and MikMod, it already ages ago managed all of the effect commands of the "NT2" MOD standard, including the curiosities of the Amiga's audio hardware, with 100% accuracy. It has a reputation of being just as accurate for FT2, ScreamTracker and ImpulseTracker etc., though I can't confirm it personally since I never got into either of those very much.
Because it is a definition. Just like a kilogram or a meter.
The whole point of Babbage's classic anecdote is that it is possible to create garbage in the step where we encode our expectations into the commands of the machine. Even if the machine operates on its inputs properly, if we gave it inputs that did not properly encode our expectations, that's garbage, and the outcome will be garbage.
Agreed, but the current class of rich people exist only within the context of those terrible racist things happening. Generational wealth was impossible to achieve for entire races of people, redlining isn't even that old. It's related.

Relatedly, most digital accounts explicitly don't survive the user in their Terms of Service agreements. I think there are a lot of legal battles to come over digital inheritance rights for accounts like Movies Anywhere and Steam and App Store purchases.
Parsing pgSQL with tree-sitter in WASM
At Splitgraph we integrated tree-sitter [0] (in WASM) into our Console query editor [1] to introspect the pgSQL query and display the referenced tables in the sidebar for easier comprehension. We have written an article detailing how we got it done, where we evaluated a few existing pgSQL parsers, and talked about the parser features that are vital when using it in a code editor.

I was the lead engineer working on this feature and I'm here to talk more about this feature and answer any related questions you may have.

I appreciate your response. It sounds like you familiar with the topic.

You described the core of the problem as the response to a certain event (events in Crimea), meaning you answered the question of "why". Having said that, could you apply the same reasoning and explain why Russia occupied Crimea? What were the events that led to such an outcome?

Edit: as a side note, I disagree with you saying that was not a provocation. External military intervention IS a provocation. They could've tried to resolve the issue diplomatically, but they chose not to.
Unix shell scripts will break when filenames/paths have spaces if variable expansions are not quoted, resulting in word splitting and filename expansion (globbing).

I’ll see if I find some way of either compiling this one, or finding another one that does.

I got 99pct on my SAT too (1500/1600). I didnt have a chance at a top school. What do you suggest people like me do now? I went to an undergrad with a 50% acceptance rate, not exactly UIUC CS. I can't sleep most days because I don't feel like I have anything to hope for.
Interesting, multi-agent was almost my first thought when I began using ChatGPT. For complex tasks I figured you would want to chain together several LLMs, each for a dedicated domain. It would actually be really neat to be able to use a Zapier-like interface to build your own AI workflow.
that really doesn't explain why they keep having less kids, not more. Since the 80's their fertility rate dropped by some 30% but i doubt the 80's there were any less cutthroat or careerist than today.
Thanks for the question. Anirudh here. Firstly, there isn't always a need to isolate everything by default - in some cases, the testing being done may / application layer entities may already provide the isolation necessary.

However, there are cases like needing to test a schema change for example which can't be done at the application layer. For those cases, there's a DAG-based resource plugin (https://www.signadot.com/docs/resource-plugin-overview) framework that we built, that acts like a lifecycle hook associated with each sandbox - running containers when the sandbox is created & destroyed.

What the platform teams do to provide isolation is to write plugins that set up isolation for the sandbox as needed. The isolation is often logical tenants (as opposed to being at the infrastructure level) like a new schema / table / etc, and includes some of the data seeding / restoring a snapshot type of operations. We have some examples already of different plugins and are writing more.
Reading the first comment, then your reply - my impression is "The left and right tails of yet another bell curve of human behaviors...either tail of which (if less extreme) could be highly adaptive in many situations."

These articles tend to show a divide in the HN community (speaking in broad terms here, HN is incredibly diverse).

One one hand, there are people that love coding, or are not from the US, or have made themselves successful, or generally don't care about fitting into molds, etc. Think those Kevin-Kelly greybeards in the back sever rooms that know everything and don't really care about the pata-gucci. The guys that used to go to Def-Con and Burning Man when it had guns.

On the other hand, you have people that really really care about FICO scores, about planning for the future, about daycare ratings, about where to put the active cell in an excel sheet when you send it to a client, etc. These are the people in the front of the office who network like crazy and will jump to another company at a whiff of an extra 1/2 percent of bonus. They are the guys that see the eggshell white with Romani type, and think it's really something.

The world needs both types of people, full stop. We need scaffolders and detailers. But it's the second type of person that really cares about what Harvard is doing. It's okay to let those people hack away in a comments section and not have a clue as to what they are 'wasting' their time on. It's their boat, they row it like they want to.

How is that supposed to work? Blockchains are public, they don't keep secrets.

Sure can. Take the key off the public chain, put it on pastebin. Done.

Sure can. Yeah, signatures may change. But that only matters to the extent that people do. The chain has no effect.

This is going to be like hackers vs. crackers. We're going to try to fight for space to be > 100km and astronauts to be people who've been to space and we're going to fail. Especially since space in the US sometimes means > 80km and hence astronauts are people above 80km.

I think we need a word for someone who's gone orbital into space.

Cell providers seem to advertise ridiculously high bandwidth numbers (far beyond what a home user might need), but don’t say much about latency. If I want to edit code over ssh or play an online video game, I care more about the latter, and those things don’t seem like non-sane things to do, to me.
Open Enterprise Linux Association Brings Together CIQ, Oracle and SUSE
Ah the Waveform test is ours! I've been meaning to post it properly to HN since we launched it.

It's far from being a perfect bufferbloat/latency under load test, and there's lots of room to improve it, but we built it when DSL Reports seemed to be running a little unreliably.

We actually use Cloudflare and Fastly on the backend for latency/speed testing. We built and host the test for free mostly because I wanted it, but I justified the dev time as it being very-roundabout marketing for us - so if you ever need a signal booster or MIMO antenna for 5G internet, looks us up :).

Also, looking into Ramadan for weird reasons, I recently found an article about how the Coran was more scientific-friendly than the bible, with example from the new testament.

Both where cherry picked bull* but I should have kept the links, it was quite fun and I probably would have had more examples.
Do you really think the way someone thinks is just a brand? That the ability to think mathematically is... a religion? I think our worldviews are too far apart for us to make sense to each other here.

This is exactly what I'm asking about. You hit the nail on the head.
No, I’m reading the text of the article as written. It says:

“Harvard would still be an organization designed to reduce meritocracy…”

“Harvard exists to make society less meritocratic”

These are statements about Harvard’s purpose or intent, not about its effect. And I think it’s more likely that the original intent, as well and the present intent of those involved, is to foster meritocracy: admit the best students (for some, fairly clearly extremely flawed, concept of “best”), give the best ones the best grades (again, there are flaws here), and hopefully let the best ones succeed.

The article argues that it fails at this, and perhaps even that it can’t succeed, but the article states, without justification, that it was not intended to succeed.
Super cool that this shows latency under load! It's a shame ISPs seem to only market their throughput numbers, and never mention latency. So many people play multiplayer games now, you would think there would be at least some consumer demand to measure and improve latency over throughput.
