It should worry you - it hurts the ecosystem. Terraform is just a tool. The providers, modules, not supported by HashiCorp, is what makes Terraform useful. Ige the ecosystem dies, Terraform becomes useless.
3 days ago, it was first seen. About a dozen observations. F***, it's not fun that these pass with so little forewarning.

ZTm0038* C2023 08 12.49542 06 32 33.23 +15 57 35.5 18.86rUNEOCPI41

Is the first entry, and asterisk-marked, on https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/#/object/ZTm0038 at the bottom, in the Observations section.

Unusual (new to me) format. Appears to me, first guess to read:

[object] [yr] [m] [day.time-decimal] [position] [elevation-angle] [observatory]

Likely oriented relative to the plane of the ecliptic, and absolute direction relative to Earth at time of observation.
Ah yes I can't wait until some LLM instructs a plane to go to a runway that doesn't exist, and the pilot can't ask for clarification because the airport fired all the humans because "we don't need them"

Not really. There are newer iterations of the chips (including RISCV and Zigbee/Thread versions) but you won't see drastic performance/power improvements. Performance limitations are par for the course for this segment of the market, it's the tradeoff you make. There are also better SoC families that can get you a better tradeoff, but there aren't many as friendly to hobbyists as the ESP32. Maybe Nordic, or going into something more like a small SBC like the Pi Zero?

That said the ESP32 is far more powerful than you need for the vast majority of home automation type devices, it's only a handful of more intensive tasks like streaming video or ML where you start to run into issues. Even then you can often still do quite a lot if you're clever.
Web dev here working with React for ~4 years now. I really don't enjoy it as much as I used to. It has made me dislike JavaScript in general, and I often find myself wishing things were simpler and more performant. I can't emphasize how relatable this part is:

> We shouldn’t need to do that—especially for a framework that so often claims it’s “just JavaScript.” If it’s just JavaScript, then it should just work with anything that’s actually just JavaScript.

And this:

I feel like every time I write a useEffect call, I spend like 15 minutes refactoring my code to be in a shape the linter likes, even when I’m 99% certain it’s actually fine and it’s not going to suck my app into an infinite abyss.
i always had this question: how realistically is to, having an standard spec and interoperable protocols, for toxic apps of big international tech companies that provides """services""", so instances of implementations can be maintained by municipalities or local tech business and talent with 100x less employees and money?
what policies should be in place to achieve that? what would be the challenges? it would be better/healthier? is someone researching such things like transition to sustainable digital services? (sustainable in terms of local labor, privacy, economy, accountability, etc...)

i mean if you think about this as public services not as a business, profit is secondary, and first is just to make the thing better and better for the users, no need for spying , no advertisement, no need for a rich piece of shit somewhere getting a piece of the money paid in your city for every taxi drive, food delivery or to give up privacy to a soulless/faceless entity just because you want to say something publicly or keep in touch with people. there is no disruption from their part, its just an old thing put on the internet, they are just in the middle of everyone's life, just sucking everything they can. is the actual state of affairs "efficient"?

there must be fed up engineers and tech people everywhere with the sad state of IT industry.

At this stage in their corporate life-cycle, where greed and complete and utter lack of care towards user happiness reigns supreme, trusting google with anything is a rather large mistake IMO.
Which would be illegal.
I feel like you are reading way too much into this. You can look up thread and see both a SpiderMonkey and V8 dev/xdev agree SunSpider is basically worthless to almost harmful to benchmark against and that V8 continues to absolutely dominate SpiderMonkey overall.
> the people who started it

what constitutes the start? DJ Kool Herc? If you asked him, he would list his influences and predecessors... do they not count ? If you try to demarcate some sort of cultural "break" where X becomes Y, how do you do that? And how do you handle subsequent cultural "breaks" that presumably, by the same logic, create something new. How do you handle parallel flows that then converge (such as electro-funk evolving under the influence of kraftwerk, and then becoming the first thing actually named "hip-hop") ?

This is all nonsense. Culture is not "owned".

Almost all the best culture in the world is mongrel culture that arose from someone who grew up in one culture(s) being exposed to other cultures and mixing them together in a way that generally reflects as much upon the individual as or more than the source cultures.

Hip-hop is no different in this respect to any other form of human expression. If there's an art form that seems "pure" to you, the most likely explanation is that you haven't gone far enough into the past to understand how it is also just another mongrel form.
I loved how I could take out my DS at lunch in highschool and connect directly to another person across the room to play Mario Kart, no network required.
Uranium that has not been in a reactor is almost nonradioactive and inert. It only gets spicy after you let it go critical for a while, and fission products accumulate.

Any reasonable nuclear-powered craft would not start up the reactor until it's already in a nice, safe, high orbit.
Limited editions of video games seem to do decent. Many runs sell out and then buying them on amazon costs 2 to 3x the price of the limited edition originally. It is extremely rare for such an item to go much above that these days, compared to some games from the past where a new copy is 10x the price or more, but it is still enough to count as collectible.
Congrats! This looks super cool.

Are there any plans for exposing a Clojure API? Given that it's implemented in Clojure, seems like it would be a natural fit. Interop with Java is nice but can be cumbersome compared to the more natural calling conventions and idioms (threading macros instead of `..` builder patterns, etc).
Kiwifarms is far worse than twitter. It's not really comparable. Twitter bans doxing, while Kiwifarms encourages it.

For those who aren't aware, kiwifarms is a website that was ostensibly something like a gossip forum, but in practice basically ended up being used for cyberstalking and harassment. They would frequently harass and doxx people. Their wikipedia page covers parts of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

Kiwifarms, now banned, official twitter page said their goal was “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. ( Source: https://archive.is/jYp5p ).

I think Kiwifarms is (borderline) criminal. Null, the admin of the site, outright said he was ok with users posting stolen financial information, such as Social Security Numbers and Credit cards. Source: https://archive.is/0fOcS . There are many examples of private financial information being posted on the site.

I would describe them as operating with a paper thin layer of "plausible" deniability. Officially you aren't allowed to harass or interact with the targets. But posting their home address, stolen passwords, phone numbers, and information about relatives is all allowed.

But even the rule against interacting with "lolcows" (called "cowtipping") is haphazardly enforced. For example, one user had sex with a "lolcow" and posted photos. The admin explicitly said they would allow the content to remain up: https://archive.is/zYnpK#35%

He shouldn’t be allowed to derail traffic to competitors because that cements Twitter’s dominant position in a anticompetitive, unfair way.

The New York Times isn’t really a competitor, so the government shouldn’t step in to stop that. Nevertheless, it’s still dumb as shit

An unsolicited PR that adds new syntax and changes the bytecode layout would 100% not be welcomed. There are stages to redesigning languages and that is the last one. But instead of having a discussion about it (stage one), people like to pretend like the current implementation is God's gift to mankind and anyone who disagrees should DIY or shut up.

Presumably bonded to something other than carbon. In particular I'm guessing it gets pushed to ionic bonds, in the form of fluoride, which is much less scary than perfluoro-crap or (god forbid) elemental fluorine.
> It's an exaggeration to say that they were "destroyed".

You could say the same about Hiroshima and Nagasaki if you want to be sufficiently particular. But if you look at pictures of Tokyo, for example, after the firebombing raids, and pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombs were dropped, they look pretty similar.

> even by the end of the war the population was still well over 3 million, 10x the size of Hiroshima

And before the war Tokyo's population was about 7 million, perhaps 20x the size of Hiroshima.

> the selection of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was entirely coherent with the claimed strategy that was focused on destroying the Japanese capability to make war, rather than to commit indiscriminate genocide as claimed

I agree that "indiscriminate genocide" was not a motivation (and no serious historian that I'm aware of claims that it was).

However, "destroying the Japanese capability to make war" is also something of a misstatement regarding the selection of atomic bomb targets. That is another aspect of the rationale given by the US government after the war that has been called into question by more recent historical scholarship. There were high officials in the Truman administration that advocated for using the bombs first on a purely military installation, like a naval base, or for a demonstration on some uninhabited island first (with Japanese observers invited). However, those officials had no real voice in the actual target selection. The main factors in the target selection were that it be a city with some military capability (and none of the cities chosen as potential targets had very much--because, as I have said, by that point in the war there wasn't much warmaking capability anywhere in Japan), such as a factory, but with significant civilian population surrounding it (such as factory workers' homes), and that the targeting point be chosen to maximize the effects of the bomb in order to make them clear to the Japanese.

Another factor that needs to be considered when talking about removing Japan's warmaking capability is that, by the end of 1944, the US Navy had Japan completely blockaded; no ships could get in or out. The Japanese Navy was destroyed and Japan had no prospect of getting any additional resources from anywhere (and Japan itself has very few natural resources at all--that's why the Japanese were so insistent upon expanding their control of Asia prior to WW II). That fact alone meant that erosion of the Japanese warmaking capability was only a matter of time. Factories are pointless without raw materials, and guns and tanks and planes are pointless without fuel and ammunition. Indeed, at least one internal US military study found that the blockade all by itself might have caused the Japanese to surrender eventually, without either any atomic bombs or any invasion.

Have an AI Project You'd Like to Exit? Investors Awaiting at Aiquare
I've been pondering over a trend I've observed: countless promising AI projects that just fade into the background, not due to lack of innovation, but mainly due to limited resources, be it time, money, or mentorship. I've seen founders who've poured their heart into developing something exceptional, but when it comes to scaling, marketing, or even navigating the maze of fundraising, they hit a wall. Sound familiar to any of you?

On the flip side, there are seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, hungry for the next disruptive idea, who have the resources and the network to elevate these projects to the next level. It’s like a puzzle piece waiting to fit.

We're building a platform aiming to bridge this exact gap. We have a pool of investors and serial entrepreneurs that are ready to review and acquire innovative solutions, giving them the wings they truly deserve.

I'm curious - have any of you been in a position where you felt your startup had massive potential but lacked the means to propel it forward? Or maybe you're someone always on the lookout for the next big idea to invest in or scale?

I'd love to hear your experiences, thoughts, and any feedback on this concept!

Don't Try and Outsmart the Linter
Even if you don't mind abiding by the terms of the BSL, the licensing change is a signal that Hashicorp is in dire straits and doesn't know how to operate as a sustainable business. They're flailing about trying to increase revenue, and in so doing they're removing one of the core components (the open source licensing) that made their tools ubiquitous to begin with. And what will their next cash grab be?

Here's the kicker though... before the change to BSL, the future of Hashicorp didn't really matter as much, since somebody could fork their projects and keep them going. But with this licensing change, if Hashicorp shuts down one day, nobody could create a fork for several years.

So to me, whether or not I can use the software as currently licensed isn't the biggest issue. I want the ability to have an "escape hatch" should Hashicorp continue its downward trajectory or shut down completely.
Yes. Depot appends by default don't return success until colocated streaming topologies have completed processing the data. So this is one way to coordinate the frontend with changes on the backend.

Within an ETL, when the computations you do on PStates are colocated with them, you always read your own writes.
It's accurate and it could have been a pretty big deal but for now it isn't, unless there are very low magnitude companions to it that hit unexpectedly because they have not been observed at all. There is some precedent for that sort of thing.
The better question to ask is, how much energy would that transfer to the atmosphere on its way to dumping the rest into the planet proper?
This can be said about anything. It also appears that they were good specifically at competitive math problem solving. Which one can say even more narrow area of math. Nevertheless, it does correlate with general intelligence and they were a able sell a snake oil to a bunch of investors, so some level of competence they did poses. However, just taking customers’ moneys directly and wiring it straight to execs’ bank accounts is just… too simplistic. Good old donation to a little soccer league where a politician’s spouse sits on the board has more logistics to it.
First, the title is very misleading. A candidate which proposes dollarization has won, unexpectedly, the primary elections (not even the main elections yet). He will have to win again in October and the numbers are very close between the 3 main parties, however it is for sure a possibility that he (Milei) wins.

Even if he wins, he doesn't have a lot of support from the senate or congress to pass laws since he's a more "independent" candidate separate from the two main parties, he also has no governors on his side. So, it will be very difficult for him to actually accomplish anything, let alone something so significant.

Even if he can, I believe he actually said it's a 35-year plan to sort of bring Argentina back into tracks, so he might not even actually dollarize.

Now, on a more general note, his win was very unexpected, he was sort of regarded as a joke not too long ago but apparently amassed a good number of followers, some of which are libertarian but most I believe are just fed up with inflation and insecurity.

Personally, I believe he is really not fit for presidency, moreover, he claims to be "libertarian" however he's very conservative on social issues, already claimed he's going to hold a plebiscite to prohibit abortions, he's against sex education in schools because he claims it's "perverse", he's a climate change denier and his vice-president is a denier of the 70s Argentinian dictatorship as well. I believe him to be a potentially dangerous candidate were him to reach power. I know many people in HN will disagree because most Argentinians in this website sympathize with him.
Sounds like you are invoking Sturgeon's rule.
The first is I'm now trying to profit from someone else's copyrighted work. That's always going to be an issue.

For the later, read the judges ruling. The EL was not the issue, but what came out is that the CDL was never what they claimed. By being so cavalier they ruined what could have been a great test case.
> it is an equivalent of a civil war.

Why. It is open source. A fork should be no big deal, and definitely not a “civil war”. I think the community should be quicker to fork open source projects that are not serving the needs of the community.

The corporations are trying to have the benefits of open source without the responsibility. Forking is a normal, acceptable part of open source and we should normalize it.
I'm pleased to talk with you given that you're familiar with the topic.

> The state space of the free EM field simply is the photon Fock space.

but I'm not sure what your point in mentioning this is. When people hear things like "particles exist between their emission and measurement", they might get the idea that there could be said to be any reality to the existence of particles in transit. They simply aren't particles the way people think of them - they are probability waves. A great example we could discuss is the HBT experiment in which photon bunching was seen. If the bunched photons were really "particles" by any sense of the word, they wouldn't bunch in time of detection merely by the fact they are entangled with each other. That would be like saying entanglement affects the flight of a particle which is simply not able to be said.

But is it? I remember clearly that back in the day, Amazon had grandiose plans of taking over everyday shopping for supplies and same day deliveries for groceries. That was their play into Whole Foods, the Amazon Go store, and the interesting Amazon Dash buttons. In that kind of an Amazon dominated e-commerce space, Alexa perfectly fits in.

Except now Amazon is under regulatory threat, and Jassy is not an Amazon Retail guy, so this vision was defenestrated. Now they're digging into the cloud space, their bread and butter, but ironically that may put the regulatory bullseye smack on the back of their head.
I probably spent about $100 total on sports cards as a kid. I never bought an individual card, just a random pack of cards every once in a while.

I had a friend with thousands of cards. His dad was a doctor and he would buy multiple boxes of Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck, and more. He would open one and categorize everything in 3 ring binders. Then he would have unopened complete sets.

He also had a hundred or more individual cards in plastic cases. I know he had a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. That one is probably still worth a lot.

It was cool to look at and that kid is a successful lawyer now but I haven't seen him in 15 years. I wonder if he still has all those card. They took up multiple book shelves in the guest room they had.
> Ukraine was on average richer per capita

I'm not sure that was ever the case since at least 1990. In fact the complete opposite, Russian GDP per capita was always at least 2x larger than Ukraine's. It was even almost 4x higher just before Russia started the war in 2014. Of course Russian GDP is/was heavily inflated by fossil fuel and raw material exports but still.. Ukraine was and is a very poor country by European standards (basically in the 90s and 2000s they had all the corruption etc. Russia had if not worse just without the oil/gas revenue).

> world's grain production has value

Yes, but but being able to sell gas and oil to Europe economically has much more value. And well, I'm not saying that people don't have "economic value" but people who hate you and don't want to be part of your country can possibly have negative value.

I just don't see how could this war could've ever been economically/financially "rational" unless putin was utterly delusional and certain that they could decapitate the government in Kiev in a week and install a puppet regime without any western sanctions.
free speech absolutist here, but I think that the rules protecting a bar for refusing service to a rowdy drunkard should NOT be used by a monstruous corporate conglomerate, which in the future could encompass google, amazon, apple, facebook and twitter and more together, to refuse service to some technological pariah that suddenly cannot shop online anymore because they made a comment on a social network.
