This is a very complete article that covers most of the pitfalls of self-hosting services.

As someone who self-hosts a good chunk of the services that I use, I am in total agreement of the challenges that face the poor souls that seek alternatives to big tech.

From Oracle (allegedly) randomly shutting down instances [0] to Google doing A-B testing [1] on how to further lock down Youtube videos.

It truly is a treacherous journey for the self-hosters.

That seems to describe something rather different from a type system. A type system is something that associates "types" with terms in your language, i.e. expressions have types. That's writing about some system for associating sets (not types) with values, which is a thing that you can do, but it's never going to be an adequate way of doing compile time checks; to get reliable compile time checks you end up having to implement an actual type system, and if you pretend you only have a sets-associated-with-values system then that will go badly.

The vast majority of the cost of having a tenant is the MORTGAGE you're paying.

Why does it need an "and then what"?

Personally, I prefer to know and believe things that are true rather than false, when possible.
This is a hit piece with a divisive agenda. Patients vs. the health establishment. Us vs. them. I had to stop reading. I am not convinced this is widespread behavior. Yes, if I saw myself on social media without consent, I would go straight to the college or professional association with a privacy violation complaint. But this article is just trying to fuel hatred.
Why is this surprising? These LLMs guess the next most likely token given initial input. With that in mind, it is possible to trip the model by injecting the tiniest amount of data at the right place. Even with that constraint, it produces some fantastic results, which speak a lot more about our intelligence than the machine's intelligence.
Another dimension is access to money and financial knowledge, which I find strangely missing from the context.

Assuming you have to pay for schooling, that along with the disproportionately increasing cost of rent and property factors into people being less ambitious due to the necessity of settling for a job that pays enough to support oneself. I'm curious how Paul Graham did it, given that he has multiple higher education degrees in philosophy, attended art school in Italy, and what capital he could rely on from his parents.

It would be disappointing if they both come from money yet miss this point, given the emphasis of progressive politics on socioeconomic or cultural privilege. Of course one doesn't have to agree with it, but shouldn't it at least be discussed?
I know lots of people with very active social lives who don’t live in city apartments. If anything, I’ve found city folk to be less sociable.

plus in places like South America uber is the far safer option. I know my wife and her friends hated taking taxis as they were much more likely to be sexually harassed or deal with some strange person. Uber isn’t perfect but it has significantly reduced this since the people who do it get kicked off the app.

A lot of complaints i see on HN are very first world and don’t see how much some of these companies actually help.

The Orthodox celebrate the Dormition of the Theotokos already. It is not a big leap from that to the Assumption of the Virgin, and then you’re most of the way to the Immaculate Conception, especially because it’s moot anyway if you don’t accept Augustine’s formulation of Original Sin.

If there were otherwise a will for unity between East and West (and there definitely is not), I don’t think the Immaculate Conception would be the thing to stand in the way. The bigger problems are ecclesiastical and cultural.
This is a fun one. A type system designed to maximise error diagnostics for the programmer is different to one designed to maximise information conveyed to the compiler. Most people seem to think in terms of the former, which in extreme cases leads to things like typescript where all the information gathered during typechecking is discarded before the underlying javascript takes over.
Yes and no. I'd say munich was a bit different, and better, but also quite a bit of the same BS.

> I believe it’s hard to build a business on open-source AI at this stage.

I would say it makes sense to build a business on running open-source AI models.

I’m a hacker with side-projects. The outputs of ML models are useful to my side projects. But there is a world of difference between whipping up a tiny bit of Python code, or even using a web interface to query an open source model online, than running that same model locally.

For starters, I would need to invest a few hundred bucks in hard disk alone. My 3090 is no good to run a bunch of models, so I would have to invest in a more beefy setup. And, when the hardware is home and properly installed, I would have to spend tons and tons of hours fiddling with the code and its setup.

I rather put all those resources to the direct function of my side-projects, and not to something that, say, Stability AI can offer me for cents and in seconds, at least for the volume of services that I need.

That’s not to say there wouldn’t be scenarios where the financial equation goes the other way, but for me at least that hasn’t been the case so far.
S3 stops being cool when you get the cloud providers bill.
As a capacity planner I tried to argue in favor of tools like Hystrix being built into our middleware services because when we had large IPPV events cascading failures was the biggest risk to our availability and it happened because 99% of the time our services could process any queues before downstream timeouts occured but during high volume events the queues would grow due to nearly instant demand occurring (normally within 5 minutes of the PPV event start time) and causing the queues to go deeper than our timeouts. Combine that with the queues not being durable if a process restart was needed and things got real ugly real fast under extreme load. Automatic retries + deep queues + short timeouts = service issues that take hours to unwind often requiring a coordinated cold restart of the entire middleware pipeline and millions in lost revenue.

To compensate we had to scale our systems for the absolute instantaneous peak demand because being legacy systems (pre containers) with a lot of rigid plumbing in them we couldn't just scale on demand. Things did not degrade gracefully once you hit the timeout limits in the composite API calls.

AIUI you need to open your terminal in raw mode if you want to get the full keypress/keydown events. But you'll have to parse the scancodes yourself. Very doable and kind of necessary if you want to do a terminal app here =D There's probably a library that can help you. Good luck!

> His dad can work at anytime, anywhere and doesn't have a boss to mandate when he clocks in.

That's not exactly true if we consider the environment that allows companies to operate like this, insomuch as his dad will eventually starve or be homeless if he doesn't eventually clock in. Hence the indentured servitude. The "worker's choice" of "just do gigs for a different gig company" doesn't really work if all gig companies stand together at the other side of the homelessness cannon.
This nomenclature is so cringey to me. Building "stories" out of "atoms". It's like a mishmash of random childlike words appropriated together.
I can get a legit 55 mpg from my non-plug-in hybrid, and gas is nearly $4 where I am, so that's 7.3 cents / mile.

The Model Y is said to go 3.8-3.9 miles / kWh and would've cost something like $22,000 more (both new, mine was discounted in late 2020).

Sources for Model Y efficiency:

https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/
https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-range-and-cons...

Gas is near $4 where I live, so a mile is about 7.3 cents.

A kWh for me costs 19.6 cents - off my most recent electric bill, not including the price of basic service to be a fair comparison. 19.6 cents/kWh divided by 3.85 mi/kWh is 5.1 cents per mile.

So the obvious savings is around 2.2 cents a mile. $22,000 divided by 2.2 cents is a nice round million miles.

I swear I didn't rig this to come out to exactly 1 million...

But the other thing is that I only drive my hybrid about 8,000 miles a year. That's why I'm a good candidate for an EV in theory, since I wouldn't be relying on public chargers.

A million miles divided by 8,000, though, is 125 years.

Another perspective is that an EV that gets < 2.7 miles per kWh would likely be more expensive to "fill up" than my gas-powered car. There are EVs like that on the market! Apparently they are mainly BMW, Mercedes, or Audi models, so admittedly Teslas (and the Nissan Leaf) seem to be better.

You could argue TCO, but how much do you think maintenance on a new Honda or Toyota hybrid costs? A Tesla could need a million times less, but a million times less than an insignificant amount still only saves an insignificant amount. And you start tens of thousands in the hole.
Great, can I run this in docker?
Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but look up Tom Murphy and Dan Burke (of Capital Cities/ABC).

They had a peculiar frugal no-nonsense no-BS style of doing business.

Actually, I read the book "The Ride of a Lifetime" by Robert Iger, who is/was the CEO of Disney (he had originally retired, but apparently they made him CEO again).

While Igers seems like a cool person (as per his own book) I found his descriptions of Tom and Dan even more interesting. It was from this book that I first heard about them.

> Common Lisp is strongly typed, it's just that types follow values rather than bindings.

Then they're not types. Types go on terms, i.e. expressions, not on values.

> This presents some code generation challenges, but it will warn on correctness just fine.

Warn on correctness it may, but it's simply impossible for a setup like that to reliably error on incorrectness at compile time; a Turing-complete language like Common Lisp cannot determine any nontrivial property of expressions (in a way that works in all cases) without evaluating them. If your types go with your values then you can't check your types without evaluating your values, at which point compile time is long gone.

> What's the end goal of the belief

So you will "believe" something is true... based on whether it gets you something that you want?

I really don't think that's how it's supposed to work. In fact in many cases it's called "lying."

You ought to be believing something because it seems to fit the evidence that exists without involving stuff that's absent. Not because it advances your goal or agenda.

> and then what?

And then what... what? Exactly what are you saying ought to be next? In fact, why does anything need to be next?

Suppose you've convinced yourself that you're being pulled down by "gravity", a completely impersonal effect driven by the nature of bulk raw materials... "And then what?"

Is the theory of "Gravity" inferior to the theory of "Earth Is Hugging You From Love", simply because the latter leaves you with residual good feelings or the promise of affection?

Start thinking about how you can make the product better from the perspective of the users and focus on that. Treat your work and product like an art and refine it. Manager direction or feedback isn’t everything nor does it feel very rewarding in the long run. Take more initiative. I doubt they want to micromanage you anyways.

If you don’t know what to do, think about what the users would want you to improve. Or if you don’t know maybe create more relationships with them.

Of course you can always switch jobs but it’s the same type of thing anywhere you go, just different people/products.

It's incredibly useful if you have many threads that produce a variable number of outputs. Imagine you're implementing some filtering operation on the GPU, many threads will take on a fixed workload and then produce some number of outcomes. Unless we take some precautions, we have a huge synchronization problem when all threads try to append their results to the output. Note that GPUs didn't have atomics for the first couple of generations that supported CUDA, so you couldn't just getAndIncrement an index and append to an array. We could store those outputs in a dense structure, allocating a fixed number of output slots per thread, but that would leave many blanks in between the results. Now once we know the number of outputs per thread we can use a prefix sum to let every thread know where they can write their results in the array.

The outcome of a prefix sum exactly corresponds with the "row starts" part of the CSR sparse matrix notation. So they are also essential when creating sparse matrices.
If the best the current system can offer is "either debase yourself like a peasant into multiple gig jobs that regularly screw you, or, be homeless, and sorry there's just nothing we can do about that" eventually people are going to start considering other systems.

Social unrest is bad for business. I'm not sure why companies keep turning the screws when profits are at record highs.
well if what we enter are inputs, then nonsensical inputs producing unpredictable or even nonsensical outputs lines up a bit imo.

> Which is to say, Unicode was broken by default in MySQL until just over five years ago.

No, stock MySQL has never used a default character set of utf8 (utf8mb3). Prior to MySQL 8, the default character set was latin1, not utf8 (utf8m3).

"utf8" being utf8mb3 is indeed a huge foot-gun, but it isn't correct to say that "Unicode was broken by default in MySQL". utf8mb4 has been available for use since 2010 (MySQL 5.5).

As for silent truncation, that bad default was fixed in 2015 (MySQL 5.7), but the option has been available since like 2004 or 2005.

That all said, some Linux distros may apply some non-standard defaults (like changing the default charset), and ditto for cloud DBaaS products (e.g. RDS disables strict sql_mode even today in all versions).
I think this comment is an artifact of its time, kind of like Knuth's "premature optimization" or Spolky's "never, ever rewrite from scratch". They are mostly valid under the circumstances the author uttered them, but by no means universally applicable, and certainly not to be turned into religious commandments.

P.S. any engineer who counters my request to take perf into consideration with "premature optimization is the root of all evil" is immediately asked to complete the remainder of the quote. Failing to do so usually results in me ejecting the person from the meeting!
> The lisp type systems are usually completely solid at runtime - you get errors on misuse of values, not data corruption

That's memory safety, a valuable property but nothing to do with types. If you have a sound type system then you can use that as part of your language's memory safety strategy, but that's not the only way to accomplish that.

> The soundness question is different to the checking ahead of time question but the two are usually conflated under the name "type system".

Misusing "type system" to talk about something that checks some runtime property of values is sadly common, but hopefully HN can rise about such muddled thinking.
