I built Mochi [0] from the ground up to be local first. The architecture is built around pouchdb for the local database which syncs to and from a remote couchdb database.

It's been a challenge to implement and in hindsight I wonder if it was even worth it. Unfortunately neither of these technologies are very widely used any more (if they ever were).

I am glad there is a lot of development and research in this area though. I think with the right DX and architecture local first makes a lot more sense than the status quo of continuously fetching everything from a remote database.

So I just engineer a shutdown and get 535+ _elected_ people fired? This is to be to the voters benefit?

I'd honestly go the other way, in a sense. If you can't get at least 50% voter turnout in your district, the election is forfeit, and we hold another one in two weeks.

These people aren't invested because they mostly don't need to be in any meaningful way. I agree though, making them hot for a few weeks is unlikely to change much. Also, comparing how people spent their time before urban expansion and the massive increase in farm labor efficiency is absurd. 1908 America hardly looked like it does now.

Didn't mean to give the impression that I'm worried about USB-C cables that are power only, that is indeed an imaginary problem.

It's moreso things like PD, is it 480Mbits or is it 5Gbit or is it 10 or 20 or 40. What's the voltages, does it support PD 2.0 oh wait is it 3.0 or 3.1?

To be fair, it's been a number of years since I've tried to purchase cables, so perhaps just grabbing the Anker result at the top will net you most of these features. I just remember having to dig and not getting clear answers one way or another which is the spirit of my question.
If you want to think of me in that tone, then fine, but I never caveated the medical debt. As the sibling comment to you said, medical debt in a civilized society is just wrong. So I really don't care why the medical care was needed. Helping people out of debt for medical reasons is commendable.

The thing I specifically caveated was people making bad financial decisions on their own. Sure, maybe giving an 18 year old $5k credit limit is not a smart thing on the creditor's part, but not everyone financing retail therapy sessions via credit is an 18 year old. The whole 30 thousandaire outspending their earnings for FOMO or keeping up with the Joneses or whatever does not seem like something we need to bail out.

>But if we have the capability to destroy another civilisation 120 light years away, then we also have developed far beyond the need to, and they will know that just as well as we will know that.

That is a huge leap of faith and operating under a lot of assumptions not the least of which is that a completely alien intelligence would somehow operate in a utopian Age of Enlightenment and moral way and not in a way that we can’t even imagine or even understand because they are completely alien to us.

I’m of the opinion that intelligent life is probably extremely rare (in the one place where we know life exists it took 20+ million species and a full third of the age of the universe to make the single intelligent life we have…and we do our best on a regular bases to make ourselves extinct) and that is a damn good thing because I cannot see how intelligent alien life wouldn’t be completely hostile to other alien life and not immediately skeptical of the other’s motivations.

You've touched on some good points. It makes me wonder: what kind of objection can one raise that would actually make a difference? Send a mean tweet? Call my senator? And tell them to do what?

IMO simple objections will not sway tech platforms from the status quo of free-for-all data hoarding. We must vote with our feet and move away from the data-hoarding incumbents towards user-centric alternatives. Where suitable alternatives don't exist, we'll need to create them.
patio11’s prior writing on this topic helped give me the knowledge and fortitude to successfully dispute several thousand dollars of fraudulent claims that Enterprise rental cars tried to collect from me. As he alluded to, my high-FICO self felt morally bound to settle and pay for the dented bumper, but they definitely violated the FDCPA and some CFPB rules (in writing!), which I enumerated for them. Maybe if I went “all the way” I could have paid $0 and gotten on the litigious debtor scrub list, but I worried that could somehow have been held against me in the future.
A lot of people here are assuming that NVIDIA doesn’t do 1:1s because Jensen doesn’t do them. This is wrong.
I’m Org3 (Jensen is Org1, so I’m one level below Jensen but don’t report to him). I have regular scheduled 1:1s with my Org2 manager. I have regular scheduled 1:1s with my Org4 reports and also with some of my Org5 and Org6 team members (on a reduced cadence as you would expect.) I don’t have 40 reports either - more like 15.

It’s not true that NVIDIA doesn’t value professional development. It is true that Jensen is a special leader. He founded NVIDIA 30 years ago. No one leading a big tech company has the experience Jensen has. The whole company benefits from his vision. He is not always right, but he does learn fast and he works harder than anyone I know.
> Is SQL touring complete?

SQL is Turing complete. Standard SQL may not have been before SQL:1999 (though proprietary query and procedural extensions made many concrete implementations Turing complete), but both CTEs and procedural code (SQL/PSM) were added as part of the SQL standard in SQL:1999, and either one alone would make standard SQL Turing complete.

You, assuming you have no knowledge of wine, can absolutely tell the difference between truck stop $2.70 wine and a well made wine from a seasoned winemaker+vineyard+grapes+region. Yeah these awards are often hot air, but the claim that no one can tell the difference between well made wine and garbage wine is a joke. It's black and white, especially when you wake up the next day.

>Only Apple can sell you a brand-new phone with last year’s chip and still convince you that you made a deal. I admit that the A16 is still at the top of the chips but you get the point.

1. You must have not realized that AMD does the same thing. They cover it up better because they rebadge it under a different sku, but it's still "last year's" microarchiecture and lithography process

2. Reusing last year's chip as a lower end model makes a lot of sense. For one, you don't have to design separate chips for mid/high end. As long as it performs well, who cares when it's from? I'd much rather have a 2 year old iphone CPU than next year's midrange snapdragon, for instance.

Ask HN: How are leading AI firms doing IT?
I'm a data-science/ML person who's never worked directly with IT before. I am now working within an IT organization and and learning all sorts of new concepts and ways to think about and do things.

Is there any insight in to how companies like DeepMind, OpenAI, Midjourney, etc, manage IT? Do they follow standards like ITIL? Are they rolling their own procedures?

> The value of portfolios is a huge discount to the face value of the debts; at the point where a lender has only worked it themselves and the debt is a few months delinquent, portfolios generally fetch about 5 cents on the dollar. That value will continue to decay over time.

I agree with his point directionally (the value of the sold debt is far below the face value of the balance) but he is off on the absolute value. You can expect more like 7-15% after working the account for 4-5 months.

> Debts are conveyed to the debt buyers as large CSV files with minimal supporting documentation.

This is funny - it is true that just big ole csv files (only ever opened in excel of course) are the way the debt is sold but how else would you suggest it be done? And in my experience you provide the debt collections agency all supporting contracts and account documents for each loan.
I don't think there's a replacement. I see it getting more powerful but there won't be a replacement anytime soon. I think it's like saying what will replace the bicycle. The answer is , there is no replacement.

The big issue is: how do you request information? Voice, is impractical. There's no direct mental link. I see minor improvements but no replacement. At least within our lifetimes.
> nothing better than someone who agrees to a service then decides later that they aren’t going to pay because now the deal is “unfair.”

I would agree for any medical transaction where the price for the service was disclosed prior to the transaction. Hell, I’d even agree if an estimate with a low and a high range were provided.

I don’t know about you, but in my lifetime the number of times this has happened rounds to 0%. And I ask for the price at a rate significantly higher than the average medical consumer.

So, since the entire industry has completely and totally failed at price transparency, then I’m completely on the side of someone who makes this decision.
> So I just engineer a shutdown and get 535+ _elected_ people fired? This is to be to the voters benefit?

It would take at least half of those congresspeople acting in concert with the president to terminate their political futures and pensions in order to make that happen. What social engineering do you believe you could do to accomplish this?

(The president would likely be the weak spot in this plan, as there's a chance they wouldn't be up for re-election anyway, which was why I added the "other lifetime benefits" clause. I think all ex-presidents would be highly motivated to keep their lifetime secret service protection.)
I use GitHub actions to automate test / build / deploy of django / Postgres / nginx docker orchestrations.

I prefer digital ocean for VPS and have found you can get pretty far on the smaller droplets.

I’ll typically have two environments, one getting auto deploys from anything on a feature branch, and production which gets deployed when there are changes to main.

For my setup, I initially learned using blog entries from the folks who blog at:

https://testdriven.io/blog/

I blended multiple entries to achieve just the setup I wanted.

I haven’t gone up to terraform though, finding it sufficient to use a pre built image of ubuntu / docker at the initialization.

My oldest projects still use .sh to handle deploys but I’d never go back to that stuff.
People talk about "the switch" as if every Democrat supported slavery and every Republican was an abolitionist. And that's not even close to the truth.

The truth is that there were plenty of Democrats who were abolitionists. And while the Republican party was originally formed as an abolitionist party, by the 1960's, there was a non-zero number of Republicans who probably would have supported slavery.

Because the true divide is North and South. Northern Democrats were often abolitionists. They were just outnumbered by Southern Democrats. If you divide the votes by region rather than party, you'll often see the vast majority of Southern votes have been against civil rights.

To get the Southern vote, you may not have to be a racist, but you have to be at least comfortable with it existing in your constituency. Because while racists may not be the majority, they comprise a large enough faction that their support can sway elections.
Random variation is random. It looks like clusters.

If there were an even spread across the decades, you'd be right to suspect selection by other than aesthetic or innovation criteria.

FWIW for #1 if you had paid the fraudulent $1k bill, after your "insurance" paid you could have likely spent more time on the phone with the provider and gotten them to refund you. Of course if you had paid the fraudulent bill promptly they might not have even bothered billing your "insurance", meaning even more time/rounds on the phone in order to get them to do that.
It's not really practical to move to the US on an EB-2/EB-3 green card since even at best its an 18 month process if you're not from one of the countries that reached its per country limit, so you're unlikely to find an employer to sponsor you to start a job so far in the future.

So usually what happens is you move over on an H-1B but those are subject to an annual cap for which you only have a 1/4 chance of being selected unless you work for a cap-exempt non-profit employer.

Employers will usually sponsor a green card after you start working for them.

I really hope something ergonomic replaces smartphones. The size means everything is modal, and also implies an unusably tiny li'l fucking horrible keyboard. Also text input is often too small to contain context for what you're writing. In the sun, the screen is unreadable. They're expensive, yet fragile, a bad combo.

Somebody replace these pieces of wet garbage, I beg of you.
Wine tasting is a great example of how stats can mislead people. People hear that sommeliers can't tell the difference between cheap wine and expensive wine, and come to the conclusion that sommeliers don't know what they're talking about. They aren't trying to guess the price, though, they're trying to explain and appraise the flavour. A better view of wine tasting is that high quality wines can be purchased at very good prices.
Some apps are not available, or reduced functionality on desktop/laptop/web, though.

For instance, I'm forced to use CapCut on mobile device because the grown-up version is missing half the features.

I work in Linux kernel related stuff, and from a brief inspection it doesn't seem like the items are terribly inaccurate, but they're not perfect. For example, kmem_cache_alloc() is listed under memory mapping, but it has nothing to do with mapping memory. It's just an API for the slab allocator which is very widespread, and also underpins kmalloc().

The bigger concern is that it doesn't seem like the map is even close to complete. For example, the VFS (virtual file system) is made up of files (open file descriptions), inodes (representing files on disk), and dentries (representing the file system tree/DAG). Probably others things I'm missing too. The area of this page describing vfs only seems to mention files and inodes, and it strangely mentions fsnotify, which is definitely an important subsystem, but not a fundamental data structure like a dentry.

I would imagine people wrote articles about topics, and they got categorized into this very cool visualization. But it's not as if it represents everything, just the things the contributors of the site were working on. It's still very cool, but don't expect that this is a comprehensive overview of the kernel, or that all the major parts of a particular area are listed here.

Edit: but that said, resources from 2010 or earlier can be quite useful. I have a cherished hard copy of Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager[1] which was released in 2007 about Linux 2.4, and I regularly rely on it and its concepts. I have another beloved copy of Linux Kernel Development 3rd Ed. (2010) [2] which is how I learned a ton of fundamentals. Ultimately, it's not about the age of the resource but the concepts behind it :)

No contract means there is no legitimate basis to bill for anything more than reimbursement of costs that have been actually incurred.
Governing in a democracy is about compromise, and the shutdowns are a result of misaligned incentives leading to a failure to compromise. In a shutdown, everyone in the legislative and executive branch is essentially committing a mass act of "they can't arrest us all!" malfeasance in office, there are no bystanders.
There are always a lot of comments about ergonomics when the Magic Mouse is mentioned, but never a single citation. Been using one for 12+ years. The utility and ergonomics are great for me. The idea that something has to be shaped for a body part to be 'ergonomic' is pervasive, but I suspect it belongs with pseudoscientific claims such as using 10% of the brain.

I don't think the statistics about journey times on public transit anywhere are true. Or they are fundamentally dishonest, in the sense that they should be measured relative to cars, biking and walking.

Whether I was a suburban commuter in Chicago or cross-town commuter in Boston, public transit was so crazy slow. In San Francisco it is insanely slow. In New York it was so utterly baffling how long it took to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan on the subway. Like 3-4x a bike, 1-2x a car.

Bike consistently beat out everything in any locale they work in. You don't need any stats to understand why: (1) you never have to wait for one, (2) you very rarely need to walk further to your destination than a car, and (3) you never have to waste time parking it.

But here we are, still arguing about bike infrastructure, even San Francisco can't help itself and would, rather than a nice bike lane 7 days a week, it wants to give some mega church free parking 1 day a week. It loves little nurt nurt trains shlepping 0 passengers most of the day. Those red bus lanes...

Does it make sense to subject anyone to the misery of living in New Jersey to work in New York? Those suckers pay taxes higher than the French to live like a budget suburb in Los Angeles. It's just so stupid. Maybe work from home is the only reprieve for millions of Americans.
