Pretty good clear value proposition for sidecars, good intro:

> But why is the idea that a container can run next to another container so interesting and so deserving of a special name? Because the sidecar pattern provides something really powerful: a way of augmenting an application at runtime without requiring code changes, while running in the same operational and security context as the application itself. That statement is key to understanding the power of sidecars and, I think, the power of Kubernetes's pod model.

You don't see NFL players using oxygen masks much anymore. Some people used to believe that it accelerated recovery from hard exertion but experiments have shown that it makes no significant difference. It's a placebo effect if anything.
There's no automatic unban. That would require writing code that knows how to tell a good (for HN) site apart from a bad one, and if we could write such code, we wouldn't need to keep a list of banned sites in the first place. However, we're always happy to unban a site when we notice that it's actually fine for HN, or when someone points this out to us.

Re shadowbanning (i.e. banning a user without telling them), see the past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... and let me know if you still have questions. The short version is that when an account has an established history, we tell them we're banning them and why. We only shadowban when it's a spammer or a new account that we have reason to guess is a serial abuser.
In a sense the take home assignment without enforced time limit selects for candidates that are most committed (or, alternatively, desperate, if you will).

That may or may not be a good thing, depending on the situation. But the downside is that the company would lose out on the potential applicants who can demonstrate skill in interviews, are in high demand, and can't be bothered to spend time on take homes.
I’m pretty amazed by how good 13B models are since they’ve gotten the orca treatment. This new one released today has the best evaluation performance of all so far and is in some ways comparable or better than the original LLaMA-65b… a bit shocked by that.

Great question. There's actually two ways to look at this: what does it look like to run Rama in a unit test environment, and what does it look like to run a small-scale single-node Rama application in production?

For the former, Rama has a class called "InProcessCluster" that works identically to a real cluster. It enables Rama applications to be tested and experimented with end-to-end. There's an example of this in the post and this is what we're releasing next week.

For the latter, Rama can be run on a single node with each daemon and module being a separate process. We made it really easy to launch single-node Rama instances with just a couple commands with the "rama" script that comes with the release. That said, we haven't spent much time yet optimizing small-scale Rama deployments and there's likely things we can do to make it more efficient (e.g. combine the Conductor and Supervisor daemons into a single process).
The US has two options:

* Start from scratch with a new system.

* Keep trying to make the current mess work. When it only came into existence as a way of evading price controls in WW2. And it's hopelessly wasteful and expensive and ineffective.

But the US system is institutionally opposed to reform.

One thing I've done in the past is put comment "tours" in the code so you can follow with your IDE's search. Each comment has the name of the specific tour, a number, and the tour guide's blurb. This lets the visitor follow a nice sequence, across different files if necessary... Sort of like the inverse of literate programming
HN operates, based on a number of reasons, on numerous dynamics of friction and nudges. Mostly for the better. I've had my disagreements about things in the past, though as I watch the site and have studied it (particularly over the past few months, see: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36843900>) I mostly agree with it.

The parts that don't work especially well, most particularly discussion of difficult-but-important topics (in my view) ... have also been acknowledged by its creator pg (Paul Graham) and mods (publicly, dang, though there are a few others).

In general: if you submit a story and it doesn't go well, drop a note to the moderators: hn@ycombinator.com. They typically reply within a few hours, perhaps a day or if things are busy or for complex.

You can verify that a submission did or didn't go through by checking on the link from an unauthenticated (logged-out) session.

Yep. Occasionally used for silliness.
The most basic answer is "science doesn't know". Biological doesn't just mean "intrinsic" like genetics or other factors. The important thing is that it probably isn't "willpower", unless you expect US and Europe to have such different cultures that there would be some "willpower problem" you could point.

There are lots of easy sounding answers that other commenters have offered. There are lots of complex theories that need more scientific testing. A lot of testing hasn't been done simply because a lot of scientists stopped at the Occam's Razor of "it's just a willpower problem" and stopped questioning anything beyond that. Maybe the results of Ozempic here open up more scientists to questioning whatever is going on.

Overall, there's no "smoking gun" yet, to my knowledge. Just lots of questions.

I find the blog "Slime Mold Time Mold" an interesting read on this subject. It's definitely one to take with a huge grain of salt, and there are those that don't trust it at all, but it offers a number of investigations into potential theories (and correlations in the data worth checking for causation) involving all sorts of things from chemical contaminations and pollutants (such as PFAS and lead) and other environmental factors.

That blog doesn't have any strong, useful conclusion either, beyond that it probably isn't "willpower" at fault, but it offers some food for thought at what variables science may be overlooking with respect to the overweight/obesity "epidemic".

Thanks for the feedback and this is really interesting to me. What would you have liked to read about that you felt was missing?
I can highly recommend libtcc (https://github.com/TinyCC/tinycc.git) for this kind of thing. I recently ported the code developed in linux on an ARM chromebook to a generic windows box in 20 minutes.
I kind of agree, but at the same time, this line of thinking falls a bit flat IMO. There used to be certain social norms in the past, which are debatable to be helpful or not, but which used to define what is acceptable behaviour and what is not. Today, those norms are disappearing/being deconstructed (which is generally a good thing), but there is no replacement! In theory it is fine that everyone has the rights to express everything / boycott anything / not associate with anyone, but on a societal level, this doesn't work very well if not kept within bounds. This is noticeable in the level of polarisation - there are no norms to be respectful or try to listen to the other person - so people don't. Same with the right of association - it's fine that the law is that you can disassociate with/discriminate against anyone who doesn't belong to a specific protected group, but this means that if a significant part of powerful entities collude to suppress something, then that thing will be suppressed without any legal or social remedy. This has a destabilising effect on society as people are more and more drawn into their 'camp' where they preach to the choir and actively root out-group or non-conformist behaviour out.

I think this kind of reads like a rant, so I apologise for the wording and the formatting. My thoughts are not entirely clear and structured on the topic so I can't do any better right now.

You start working hard for your degree at a young age. My wife began intensive drawing lessons in 4th grade, which culminated in admission to a high tier art university (CAFA) later on (she had to pass an art exam in addition to getting a decent score on the gaokao...). I don't know if it is wrong, I definitely see advantages in pushing kids to be there best, but obviously not all of them are going to come out on top (given a limited top).
E.O. Wilson does a wonderful job in the opening of his book Consilience illustrating the philosophical tension between the Realists (Linnaeans) and Nominalists (Darwinists) that the New Yorker reviewer zeroes in on:

My intellectual world was framed by Linnaeus, the eighteenth-century Swedish naturalist who invented modern biological classification. The Linnaean system is deceptively easy. You start by separating specimens of plants and animals into species. Then you sort species resembling one another into groups, the genera. Examples of such groups are all the crows and all the oaks. Next you label each species with a two-part Latinized name, such as Corvus ossifragus for the fish crow, where Corvus stands for the genus--all the species of crows--and ossifragus for the fish crow in particular. Then on to higher classification, where similar genera are grouped into families, families into orders, and so on up to phyla and finally, at the very summit, the six kingdoms--plants, animals, fungi, protists, monerans, and archaea. It is like the army: men (plus women, nowadays) into squads, squads into platoons, platoons into companies, and in the final aggregate, the armed services headed by the joint chiefs of staff. It is, in other words, a conceptual world made for the mind of an eighteen-year-old.

I had reached the level of the Carolus Linnaeus of 1735 or, more accurately (since at that time I knew little of the Swedish master), the Roger Tory Peterson of 1934, when the great naturalist published the first edition of A Field Guide to the Birds. My Linnaean period was nonetheless a good start for a scientific career. The first step to wisdom, as the Chinese say, is getting things by their right names.

Then I discovered evolution. Suddenly--that is not too strong a word--I saw the world in a wholly new way. This epiphany I owed to my mentor Ralph Chermock, an intense, chain-smoking young assistant professor newly arrived in the provinces with a Ph.D. in entomology from Cornell University. After listening to me natter for a while about my lofty goal of classifying all the ants of Alabama, he handed me a copy of Ernst Mayr's 1942 Systematics and the Origin of Species. Read it, he said, if you want to become a real biologist.
Rama is written in Clojure :)
Technically no, pragmatically maybe…

If the information has been lost through using a lossy codec like MP3, there’s no getting it back.

But there are “AI upscaling” techniques that use models to fill in the missing pieces. It isn’t really restoring the original, more like painting over a crack in a style that is typically used by similar artists in similar contexts. Such models could produce a result conceptually similar to what a cover band might produce.

I would say it’s not very much in the US’s interest at all.

First of all, having a credible economic rival, even if they are extremely aligned with your political values and culture, is still a threat. See how much the EU is attacked by the US political and media establishment. Europe is great when it is subservient to the US leadership, but the gloves come off when the EU starts leading in its own right.

Second of all, unlike the EU, China is very misaligned with the US in a huge number of areas. And if China becomes the clear economic leader of the world and vastly outclasses the US and EU, we will find ourselves living under a hegemonic China where the best policy for every country is the policy China wants you to have and the best government is a government modeled after China.

The US has had 80 years in this dominant role, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But if China takes on the crown, personal freedom will surely suffer globally.

Meh. They have also found the solar cycle less surprising for some time.
I'm all for using comments, but you have to be on a team that's on board with them. I've joined more than one team that adopted the "the code should be its own documentation bruh" attitude, as if comments get in the way such that your IDE can't just collapse them all if you don't want to see them. In that case, I'm usually forced to give up. Lesson learned – always ask for the engineering team's stance on comments when interviewing!
It’s not a small detail. It’s one of the headline claims!
It's actually a really complex answer. Yes, he did great work advertising for them, but there's a big difference between "Some guy over there advertising your product" and "Your employee advertising the product". The problem Penn had was that when they talk to regulators they can't say "We don't know that guy", so they constantly got in trouble with regulators and faced a lot more scrutiny because of the reputation of Dave. So it wasn't a match made in heaven, but also the ESPN deal is just such a big fish that no matter what given the opportunity Penn probably would've moved heaven and earth for ESPN.

Having said that, Sports betting is by far the biggest advertiser in the sports-media segment, so Penn have handed the company back to Dave and said "Oh, btw, you're not allowed your biggest source of revenue". It is undoubtedly going to be tough for Portnoy to make the economics work on a sports-media business without gambling advertising as a key revenue stream. Having said that, that's not necessarily what he cares about. He's rich, he's got his company back, he can say what he likes. If Barstool collapsed tomorrow I don't think he'd be happy, but he'd be producing new content within minutes.
> "from start to finish"

I think perhaps this is not even a valid concept...

The simple case of a program with a main maybe has a "start"? (Although due to program loading, there is quite a lot of code that executes before main, often not your code but sometimes static initialization, e.g.).

In the case of async programming (queues, services, interrupt handlers, etc.), a "start" is pretty arbitrary, and needs to be defined some other way (start of a data scenario e.g.)...

And in all sceanrios except pure batch processing, a "finish" doesn't exist, except in the sense of a "quit" or termination scenario, but not in relation to rest of the code base...
iojs comes to mind. This is the beauty of open source in action.

Long living forks and fragmentation sucks, but now HashiCorp has to react to this and provide compelling benefits if they don't want to loose the whole project alltogether.
Whether or not its "better" to host your own, the positive effects from the open source community at trimming down the parts of state-of-the-art LLM that matter and improving efficiency will be good for the community.
With this initial release there will be some benefits but maybe not full benefits from using loom. That is to say it's easy enough to swap a lot of what's being done for kotlin coroutines or cats with just launching a virtual thread.

Where things will get interesting is when the continuation API finalizes. That will allow those APIs REALLY deep integration with the JVM.

Going by their claims, they are showing off their generalizable platform, Rama, by building an application on top of it. The application is an example, not the product. For example, someone implements a Todo app on their hot new javascript framework in 10 mins, your objection would be, "But it took you 2 years to make the framework, so actually it took you 2 years plus 10 mins". Why stop there? It also took many years to build the underlying language, networking layers, infrastructure, processors, materials etc etc. You have to draw the line at the point where the application specific code starts and the generalizable platform ends, no?
I don't have an answer for mining specifically, but having worked in robotics in the past, I'd probably guess it's just fundamentally cheaper to pay very poor people to do it vs developing and maintaining new technologies. Unfortunately, because I could see the benefit to robotic mining technologies, heck maybe if we ever figure out how to feasibly mine asteroids or something they will get some funding.
About as valuable as autoregressive engineers who wrote code like 'const summaries = ["' into prompts in the days before instruct/RLHF based models like ChatGPT, a skill now not needed.

That it to say, in medium time, no meaningful benefit.
So does a community that allows a mining operation to "exploit" it have any say in the matter? Is it possible that the operating brings new jobs to the community that wouldn't have existed otherwise?
The nature of ball milling makes it a very inefficient flywheel:

The energy of the wheel is going into repeatedly lifting the material. That energy is lost: it's not transferring that energy back into the rotational energy of the wheel every time it falls, but into breaking up the material against the bottom of the wheel, more or less perpendicularly to the direction of the wheel's travel at that point.
It's also pretty expensive. $30 for 6 months, I believe. At least a year would be a somewhat more attractive value proposition. But they must be doing fine with that pricing, it's been around forever. So good for them!
