Extremal Kerr Black Holes as Amplifiers of New Physics
To quote you: “nothing could be further from the truth”

Ceph itself runs very well on K8s - see the Rook project.

Of course you can run psql on k8s. Psql doesn’t need a storage orchestration system - hell it technically doesn’t need any storage at all!
Probably most people will disagree, but I'm happy with this.

I pay for Prime exclusively for the shipping. I never wanted video in the first place.

So if Amazon needs to raise prices/revenue, I prefer that they keep Prime the same, and raise the price (now +$2.99/mo.) for people who are big watchers of Prime Video and don't want ads.

So this price segmentation makes sense to me.
So? It's still more than most families will make in a decade. How many years was that $1.5M compensation for? What other compensation did he get?
Just curious, are you opposed to land inheritance in general, or just when it comes to indigenous groups?

I mean by the logic you're using you don't have to pay ANY bill or abide by ANY contract unless someone goes to court to make you.
There is a huge difference between "Youtube without ads or with ads" and "good google searches or worse google searches". Everyone understands that with premium you can pay to remove ads. But paying for better google searches would upend the entire image of google as the premier search engine.

No historically we were too dumb. Prescribed burns were a “revolution” in fire management (1995 in the US)
If you pee on a section of ground before anyone else, it becomes intertwined from your DNA and anyone sharing above a certain percentage of your DNA has rights to that land, knows more about the land, and can dictate what other people do with that land. I think it's in the Constitution or the Bible or something.
I don't recall seeing an automatic transmission in a car or truck that doesn't have a transmission fluid cooler in front of the radiator for the 25 years I've been paying attention.
There were probably hundreds of security breaches related to Web cams. These are the devices with very shady reputation. This is why you'll see laptop users taping over them. Now every time you plug your phone into a PC you have to start worrying about your phone being used to spy on you?

Some are known to be impossible to stop. Some can be stopped. There are, unfortunately many of those. "Anti-theft" thing can be completely disabled for example. The "IT remote support" thing cannot, but can be configured to be less malicious (somewhat, not really, but still). It's not magic what they do. It's just (intentionally) poorly documented (and poorly implemented) stuff. But there are some enthusiastic people who try to discover what this stuff is actually doing.

So, it's a fight that never ends. Eventually, enthusiasts will discover more of this stuff, take Intel to court and make them undo / allow to disable this. And then Intel will produce chips with more malicious stuff but rebranded and so on.

I happen to work for another big h/w manufacturer, so... it's business as usual.
It took 13 minutes to both disassemble and reassemble.

So then you have another 20 minutes to diagnose. If you can repair 50% of boards that make it far enough that you need to dissassemble for diagnosis and then you take an additional 30 minutes to do the repair with 50% success rate, you're spending 3.6 hours per repair, which is perfectly fine if you're charging 300$. These are pessimistic assumptions too - you often don't need to dissassemble the board to diagnose it, the person disassembling the board doesn't need to be paid as much as the person doing the repair, and you'll probably have a better than 50% repair success rate.
I recently left Prime. I was disappointed to see ads introduced into Amazon Music, for music I'd paid for. I could get the same music with ads elsewhere.

To me, if I can't keep music I'd paid for, there's a strong case for piracy.
Because it’s reactionary and a bit silly, while providing no real value.

Yes, orchestration requires the orchestration tool.

No, k8s api is not unreliable or “finicky”.

This is being downvoted because it’s the equivalent of saying “delivery requires the use of a car? But engines are so unreliable, bad idea!”

Saying k8s and “reliable” don’t belong together is just flamebait - k8s runs reliably for tens of thousands of extremely large shops.
Because lay users misunderstand "Perfect forward secrecy" as "perfect security". It's actively misleading when included in marketing material targeted at a lay audience.

OTOH it's also probably read by most as meaningless hyperbole, so the actual damage from being misleading is probably minimal.
It is quite difficult for Republicans to reverse any act of Congress without another act of Congress. The assent of the House, the Senate, and (usually) the President is required.
You literally quoted the answer to your question. Do you think if I repeat it you will pay more attention reading it next time?
Ask HN: no inference on DDR – Why?
A high RAM server is (at least) an order of magnitude cheaper than a GPU compute server. Why aren't we seeing RAM servers running inference? Is it just because the RAM bandwidth isn't high enough or is there another bottleneck that makes it unsuitable despite the cost saving?
Spam teams at social networks typically shadow-ban spammers. The goal of this is to make it as difficult as possible for the spammer to determine that they've been caught (which is why I think the frustration techniques, or simply account suspension aren't widely used).

The field of spam-prevention is fascinating because it's essentially an arms race between companies deploying tactics to detect spam and sophisticated spammers using increasingly complex methods to avoid detection.

So there's an advantage gained by companies if spammers believe they don't need to evolve their methods.
If you're a nation you can just force the CAs that are in your jurisdiction to do whatever you want, or sneak in in various ways so they won't know.

If you use the MITM judiciously, it's very likely that nobody will notice, or that those that notice can be compelled not to say anything.

> We have known this is coming for decades, we have known it will be devastating to the sustainability of human civilization as it exists. Little to nothing has been done in a timely manner.

You're right, we're growing exponentially in a finite environment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Acceleration

I wonder how long it will take for the population to accept that the the need for growth is encoded in our system's very structure, in its financial system that prioritizes accumulation, exploitation, and pollution over sustainability and equality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_overshoot

We're in overshoot. If we were sane, we would work on reducing our consumption, but instead, everybody's just trying to preserve the business-as-usual path for as long as possible, no matter how unsustainable it is.

Maybe we need to start thinking about new ways of managing things.
> The researchers say that the next step is to hunt for extremal Kerr black holes and to try to detect these curvature singularities through their effect on infalling matter.

I thought these don't occur naturally, as you would need a really odd physical setup to stuff so much charge/angular momentum into one.
There's also a huge population of people who pay even less for a car, like around $5k or less still. Go to the LA county craigslist, average car is $13k but the largest bin by far on the pricing histogram is the sub 5k bin. You set the price interval to be between $2-$5k you get about 2600 ads. You set it at 3k and you still get about 1500 ads, and these are "true" ads with that $2 start cutting off the people who don't list prices on more expensive cars.
A Man Who Trapped Us in Databases
> 80% of the gain they got was just going from client-only to server-rendered

That's what the article is about, isn't it? The gain comes from going from client-only to server-rendered. They did this using RSC. You could also do it using handlebars and jQuery if it was 2010 (with probably 100x better performance).

> if you had compared SSR vs RSC you'd see that the numbers don't actually improve so much

From the article: We saw a whopping 62% reduction in bundle size as well as as 63% improvement in Google's Speed Index. You would not get those gains by simply enabling SSR in an existing app, as the bundle size will remain the same. Unless.. you use Astro or RSC to enable SSR with partial hydration. Which is what they did.
especially when you have different languages with different rules, `MY_FEATURE_FLAG` and `kMyFeatureFlag` and `@MyFeatureFlag` might all be reasonable names for what is defined as `"my_feature_flag"` in the configuration.

Using just the string-recognizable name everywhere is...better.

Thanks for the alternator current of 100 Amperes and 1200 Watts -- I didn't have that data!

If I run the battery down, then I'll just have to wait until the electric utility restores the power! Then I'll have to recharge the battery! For that, I do have a battery charger.

Curiously, the battery charger puts out only 14 Amperes!!!

The charger and a lot on this whole subject has lots of warnings about how fast should charge a car battery -- their advice is to charge slowly or damage the battery, ..., explosions, etc.!!!

Ah, they didn't get to college like I did: Had an old Chevy, stick shift. Somehow, too often, when I tried to drive to college for the first class, the battery was dead. Hmm ....

Well, the driveway went downhill a little to the street. Sooo, with the door to the driver's side open, I stood by the steering wheel and got the car rolling rolling backwards downhill -- jumped in,
closed the door, and aimed the car in the downhill direction on the street. Again with the driver's door open, with the transmission in neutral, got the car rolling downhill, reached in, swatted the shift lever down to engage 3rd, High gear, kept pushing, and right away the engine tried to start but, with 3rd engaged, struggled. I jumped in, pushed down on the clutch, put the shift into Neutral, gave some gas, pulled the door shut, and drove to class! After about the 15 minutes of driving to class, the battery was nicely enough charged to start the engine -- the dead battery problem was solved until the next dead battery problem!

Lesson 1: If listen to the usual rules of safe operation of a car, won't get to class on time!

Lesson 2: Can give a battery a nice charge quickly, e.g., 15 minutes!

Another issue: At one point I did discover that the battery charger won't do any charging at all for a fully dead battery. So, I just got a laboratory style DC power supply and used it to give the dead battery an initial charge and then used the charger intended and finished charging.
I guess, yes, seems the best way if we don’t count centralized remote attestation.
TBH I only realized because I almost stripped it out as well!
This was how my brother played it. He was too dumb to know the difference because the box art literally looked like CS’s splash screen. CS != CZ but nevertheless, a steam account was a steam account, and technically CZ was HL so he downloaded CS off FilePlanet and was getting destroyed by me and my friends for weeks until he learned the strafe-run hack.

I feel like audit trails are under-discussed and under-rated.

Great for debugging (obviously, not as the sole debugging information, hopefully) and indispensible for covering your ass at times. If people screw up and put bad data in they frequently will blame the app and as a developer the burden of truth is often on you. Especially if the app has had bugs in the past... and what app hasn't?

Like, just creating a history of every table
seems a little wasteful to me, but you're probably
talking more nuanced than that

Yeah, doing it indiscriminately is wasteful to the extreme, no arguments! You would want to be judicious about the tables for which you employ it, the size of the data, frequency of updates, etc. In almost all cases you will surely want some kind of automated pruning ability. (Of course, this all applies at the app level as well, no difference here)

What's unique about triggers is that they have access to the "old" and "new" versions of a row. Implementation varies but generally it's something like this Postgres example - note the special `OLD` and `NEW` tables.

CREATE TRIGGER check_update
BEFORE UPDATE ON accounts
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (OLD.balance IS DISTINCT FROM NEW.balance)
EXECUTE FUNCTION check_account_update();

Now, that specific is obviously "application" or "business" logic and it can be debatable if that should go into the database. But audit trails are more of a pure data layer concern IMO.
The fact that even your personal anecdote isn't "as serious" kind of proves my point...
We actively chose to have a volunteer army instead of conscripts because professional soldiers perform better than throwing people who don’t want to be there in the first place into a fight. We should look at how to convince more people to enter the military by doing things like increasing the pay or not leaving veterans at the mercy of a complicated bureaucracy to get healthcare for their combat related illnesses before we throw our hands up and decide to just start throwing unwilling kids into the meat chipper again
Idk, one obvious reason could be that emergence is a mirage ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.15004 ). Given two concepts of roughly equivalent complexity and representation in training, where one is successfully generalized and another is not, that would seem to support (but not prove) the mirage hypothesis.

I take your point about representational differences though.

Thinking more about this, the OP is basically talking about whether models understand that equality commutes, and I suppose even an LLM that can add may not have worked out that addition commutes.
The OP was complaining it was difficult to maintain Postgres, with late nights. Expensive in human resource costs. You’re now switching to a different topic, from total cost of ownership to resource cost of ownership, not taking into account human operator costs.

EDB argues that human costs of operating an highly available cluster with hot standby etc using cnpg & the abstraction it offers is much lower than without an Kubernetes operator.

Of course a highly skilled and experienced Postgres guru with years of experience can run a highly available cluster on less compute resources. But what happens if that person is not available? On holiday leave, with pension? How many of those gurus would a company need to employ? How many of these self maintained pg clusters can a couple of these gurus maintain?
Choosing a good key derivation function has always been critical to making passwords work. I guess lastpass didn't do that.

I have not benchmarked these recently, but I fear that they had to compromise # of iterations to give "2012 low-end Android device" some chance of ever being able to unlock their vault. As a result, everyone else is vulnerable. Adding icing on the cake is leaking everyone's encrypted vault. Whoops!
You didn't assert a position because you have no expertise from which your evaluation would mean anything.

I don't think Vite is really part of the Vue ecosystem. Vue is Vue, and Vite works with e.g. React or Svelte.

The worst possible response to that problem would be to run the CVE program in a way that ratifies it going forward!
I'm missing the part on how op determines valid users for the frustration loop.

> Enter Akismet... Blocking spam on signup worked somewhat, but was easily circumventable

> some spammers found ways to parade as legitimate blogs... which I would have to manually sniff out and flag.

> This lead me to an idea: The Frustration Loop... When spam is detected... Waste their time and make them give up.

> "Now hold up there Herman! Won't this be triggered by valid users?"... it's been running in production for the past 3 months and I've only had one user report this as an issue.

imo that would be the most interesting part of the article. It's cool that the action that's being taken is to frustrate the spammer but I wished there was more info on separating spammers from real users, figuring out false positives and false negatives and the like. I understand that giving details on detection is probably not a good idea and that the article is about The Frustration Loop, though.
> Just wanting speed and less memory bugs, then rust will fare better. If you want to have the combined power of Python and C then Cython is pretty cool.

Agreed. Sometimes it is fun (and useful) to use tools that can blow your feet off if misused.

>Or they're just not guaranteeing 2-day delivery anymore.

They haven't been, in my experience. They used to throw you a free month (or more) when you complain it took a week, now they just kind of say you could return it if you want. Very late items sometimes do get a refund, but that's rare.

Tons of articles get flagged every day. I remember a bot on FB regularly sampling popular articles. Some of the most popular ones on FB end up leading to flagged articles.

But back then, many flagged articles were around COVID. Some were sensational, some were not, but if it triggers strong discomfort, it gets flagged.

There was a quality article on advice by a female founder that was highly flagged too. Likely because it sounded sensationalist. Sometimes the system fails.

Most social media rewards unpopular opinions and hot takes, but HN is the opposite, the algorithm buries those.
Exactly this. Is this a way to pass the cost of the WGA/SAG negotiation to consumers? It sounds like it, and it might even make sense as such. The challenge is that the cost is passed while content is not generated, so as consumer the reasonable choice is to also "strike" on subscriptions for a while, until the pipeline is full again. Hopefully this strike will stick, the same way subscriptions tend to stick.

Because there's an extremely small set of cases where such a direct delivery model makes any kind of economic sense. Distributors as intermediaries are more efficient for almost all cases.

"upset" isn't perhaps the best word, "bitter" would come closer, and not for my sake necessarily but for those who are still new to this.

You and I exchanged 1:1 around 8 years ago on MatrixHQ, when this whole thing was still somewhat new but the cracks were already apparent. Then, the room was crumbling, federation wasn't reliable at all, the overall performance for basic use cases was terrible and self hosting on affordable hardware would mean not federating with matrix.org. When I brought those observations up, you (kindly and approachably) promised that a new design was in the works and weeks away (something about fanning out, or whatever). Fast forward to today, all the points above still hold true in 2023. From a distance, Matrix has had synapse, dendrite, better synapse with workers, conduit, new components added left and right (sliding sync being the latest), and I'm not even talking about the community at large, taken hostage of the uninterrupted pace of breakage. And I couldn't resist laughing out loud at fosdem when hearing this year once again that we are weeks away from what we were promised 10 years ago.

I am sorry to be blunt, but I've never seen a project of this magnitude lacking so much in structure and focus. I admit that I regressed to being a complete outsider, and from my perspective on the sidelines it looks like this has no end in sight: Matrix is getting more and more complex and hard for hobbyists to deploy at a small scale/local level, New Vector's hosted instances have a de facto quasi monopoly on the user base and on the protocol implementation. I'd be curious to know how this dissonance fits in your mental model, because this insane technical complexity was sold as the price to pay for not letting servers hold too much network power.

Anyways, I don't doubt that this message will be met with a well written and kind reply, listing a bunch of fringe projects and ongoing initiatives to tackle this or that aspect of the same old problem. See you again in 10 years, maybe :)

Wait, how do developers get squeezed? As a developer I need to know if I’m standing in quicksand.

Having access to so many gamers, at once, without me having to setup a storefront, and pci compliance, and credit card data, is actually good for me. If you live in part of the world where there isn’t a tax treaty with the United States, that’s not exactly Valves fault. Blame your government for the squeeze.
You are looking at new car price which factors in all models of vehicle. I am only considering what they defined as "car" here vs suv or trucks. From the article:

"The segment median for cars ($25,745) is $8,450 less than small SUVs, $17,325 less than small pickups and $33,925 less than EVs."

pulling in a bunch of rows and reducing them in Ruby [...]

Not only is it wasteful and slower, in my experience
it's also more error prone.

Yeah. A lot of problems happen for one of two reasons. The application developers don't wrap the whole thing in a transaction, and open themselves up to consistency problems. Or they do wrap a bunch of database round trips up in a transaction and open themselves up to contention issues, deadlocks, etc.

In both cases, those problems generally never show up in local or test environments. Only in prod... under load.
