It's interesting to me how you lob the words 'luddite' and 'wishing misery' at the most basic suggestion of moderation of abstinence from trips to Spain (or equivalent). I shudder at what words you must surely reserve for those that systemically privatize food, water, and shelter - things we actually need to survive.
The standard answer is cost, but I'm not sure how significant that actually is in this day and age. Maybe it's just artificial market segmentation at this point.
Factor in a proper PSU, storage, case and cooling, amd64 boxes are cheaper than Pis now. Going to replace a pi 3 server with one of those, not having to deal with ARM is a huge plus.
There's nuanced market timing, somebody reads WSJ and Barrons, watches Trade brigade and Tastylive analysts on YT and decides on overall cash/stock/bond %ages, that should have kept you out of bonds and out of the Bogleheads situation in the past year. Also last January you would have been looking at bitcoin, TSLA, NVDA and thinking these are going to have some kind of recovery, V shaped or long and grinding, but some kind...

Then there's the opposite question, how many active/day traders are consistently profitable, i think the answer is less than 5% of everyboedy that tries, the ideal is that somebody realizes they're not going to make it while replay/sim / paper trading, or people get stopped out quickly on substantial positions.

> Owning slaves is just a part of our culture regardless of whether we want it to be or not.

This was true for the confederate south.... Denying this doesn't seem to get us anywhere.

Anyway, my point was not that this can't be changed, that's what you brought to the conversation.
Correct.

I founded the Decriminalize Nature movement in NYC and established a non-profit lobby group w funds from Doctor Bronners, and found that the political apparatus is looking to get its people paid.
> Relying on technology to silence the world’s background noises can make it harder for the brain to filter them out on its own, neurologists and behavioral scientists say. People who regularly wear noise-canceling headphones might be more easily distracted by sounds of typing and chatter on days they’re not wearing buds.

Has anyone experienced this?
One of the ParadeDB authors here, hey! Thanks for pointing this out, you're completely right. That's an oversight on our end. We'll update the benchmarks and re-run them to correct this :)
That's not Russia's MO. Their goal is to continue funneling money to far-right westerners and having a funding platform lets them do that. Furries using it provides plausible deniability in the same way that anti-censorship activists using Tor provides deniability for CIA agents.
Owning handguns ain't either.

Anyway, the constitution was written to specifically enable slavery, so your point is moot.
(Sarcastically) Agreed! There’s lots of hit pieces against Newsom getting lots of air time! On Reddit there were 3-4 different ones on most news subs and then the Israel-Palestine news took over everything on Reddit.

Man I need to get off social media as it’s completely overrun with moneyed/political interests.

Blog post author and one of the pg_bm25 contributors here. Super excited to see the interest in pg_bm25!

pg_bm25 is our first step in building an Elasticsearch alternative on Postgres. We built it as a result of working on hybrid search in Postgres and becoming frustrated with Postgres' sparse feature set when it comes to full text search.

To address a few of the discussion points, today pg_bm25 can be installed on self-hosted Postgres instances. Managed Postgres providers like RDS are pretty restrictive when it comes to the Postgres extension ecosystem, which is why we're currently working on a managed Postgres database called ParadeDB which comes with pg_bm25 preinstalled. It'll be available in private beta next week and there's a waitlist on our website (https://www.paradedb.com/).
Well, they definitely missed the opportunity a while ago to make GitHub relevant for hiring, and now they are trying to catch back up I guess.
Part of the reason for the bull run is that people have 401ks. They have IRAs. They buy index funds. In either case the amount of americans who automatically devote a portion of their pay to buying equites has probably never been higher.
I had same thought as soon as I read the article, with a gin index the benchmarks would be wildly different and not sure why they didn’t compare against that. Of course a non indexed search is going to be slow.

I was looking for comparison against a gin index specifically, without it pros/cons unclear.
So a basically trivial improvement in other words.
If the default ISO already included non-free drivers, why would you have to separately enable the non-free repos to get firmware?

My Debian 12 install didn't come with proprietary Nvidia drivers, nor did it ask me if I wanted them during installation. I had to enable the non-free-firmware repo to get them.
Fossil seems superior (never used it professionally though), but i did use mercurial, and in practice it's really inferior imho. It isn't much simpler, as my git aliases are with me since 2014, and that make git as simple to use (for me) as mercurial in cli. If i need to work with VSCode, both plugin are as "easy" to learn anyway. Magit is just more efficient (thus easier) for idiots like me that had too much time at school, but i understand this is a bad argument.

But no reflogs and no rebase makes it harder to use branching locally, and branching in general in mercurial isn't as flexible as it is in git (ok, i get it, it is footgun, but an airsoft footgun imho).
Kubernetes won because of its composability. The API is the killer feature. The notion of objects, labels, pretty much an object oriented, declarative interface.

You'd have to do a lots of custom morphing if you want that kind of interface over docker swarm.

For smaller setups, simplicity of docker swarm might be useful but I am curious to know from people who are running clusters of 25 to 50 nodes.
FWIW, I'm about to try integrating Elm and Tau Prolog (Prolog-in-JavaScript). I have a toy language that uses Elm for the interpreter and Prolog for the type inference and I want to make one of those nifty "try this language right in the browser" things.

The "relations" in Prolog and SQL ("relational model") are the same thing, and Prolog is arguably "nicer" than SQL?

As far as I know, inbound TCP/UDP connections are not supported on Starlink natively. You can of course use a VPN or various types of reverse port forwarding.

That said, you can often still communicate between two NATs using various traversal techniques, although that's generally less likely for carrier-grade NATs, so NAT traversal solutions usually need relays as a fallback anyway.
Yes, and: Patreon is, at its core, a professional services provider for large YouTube artists. That's the segment it's best at supporting and the segment that needs it the most. But its valuation is based on the idea that it's going to capture some percentage of the entire creator economy.

I do think there are some specific details about Patreon's history and leadership that make it unusually bad at running an engineering organization, even for a VC-backed startup. It has some deceptively hard engineering problems and has struggled to attract, retain, and use technical leadership equal to those problems.

AMD seems not interested. Intel will go the Apple way though, simpler cores and trading die area for ever larger caches, also on-die memory, downside you can't upgrade memory, upside it's faster and more power efficient.

ParadeDB author here -- correct! We plan to offer a hosted version soon and the idea behind picking AGPL is to be as permissive as possible so that people can use the product for free, but also protect ourselves from abuse in case a large company, say AWS, were to want to ship it in their own environment.

In fact, we went through much questioning wondering to go with ELv2, Apache, AGPL, etc. before settling on AGPL
"natural order" argument reminds me how Aristotle describes a natural slave as "anyone who, while being human, is by nature not his own but of someone else" and further states "he is of someone else when, while being human, he is a piece of property; and a piece of property is a tool for action separate from its owner." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_slavery

"natural" does NOT mean good or that it is worth preserving.

It’s an awful film, IMO, and I’ve watched it about six times as it’s just so terrible it’s great. It’s a cult classic so cultish and classic that it’s neither cultish nor classic.

I mean, really, it’s the epitome of a 70’s psychosexual drama, draped in a sci-fi setting.

I always like to imagine it’s a prequel to D.A.R.Y.L., which is to the 80s what Demon Seed is to the 70s.
> Spare parts are manufactured and supplied into channels. If you ban that [...]

Easier said than done. You'd need to impose BATFE-style regulations and measures. You're talking about arresting people for selling partially manufactured parts, parts which they claim are actually for other things, plans for parts paired with uncut sheet metal, etc. Is a clutch illegal to manufacture if it happens to fit on some model of two-stroke motor, even though it could also be used for other things? Have fun getting tangled up in these weeds. And the only way you'd stand a chance of enforcing this is by threatening people with many years in prison for what are non-violent crimes.

People tolerate this sort of thing in the case of the BATFE because nobody really needs a machine gun, very few people have one in the first place, there's little parts commonality with other machines and because machine guns kill people in very visceral and obvious ways. But with two-stroke motors you have a whole ton of people who use these machines to save on huge amounts of labor (you're fucking with the way they put food on their table and pay rent, not just their fun at a gun range) and the alternatives are subpar. You exempt chainsaws from this, but that merely reflects what you are personally familiar with and consider reasonable. And even if the alternatives weren't subpar, you'd still be asking people to purchase new expensive machines instead of performing cheap repairs on machines they already own. Point is, the incentive and willingness to skirt two-stroke spare part bans would be much higher than with machine guns. Your bans would fail without extremely draconian enforcement.
There's also the fact that CPUs and DRAM are socketed rather than being soldiered like on graphics cards.
In English, it would sound strange to say "Two Raspberry Pis 4", idiomatically we would probably always say "Two Raspberry Pi Fours"
They actually aren't in the constitution at all. You have a right to bear arms. You do not have a right to purchase, wield, and use a handgun (which, by the way, would be hilariously ineffective in an uprising against the government and is mostly good for killing the people in your house). We just have spineless politicians on our hands.
I suppose. I'm bitter because I worked at a company where they wanted git used a certain way, which is fine, manage the main repo however you want. The main repo should have some standards and I will follow them. (Preferably this will be automated to for consistency and to keep egos out of the process.)

However, they overstepped and gave me a hard time when they learned I was managing my own local repo how I wanted. I'm relatively good with git and would clean up my pull requests to meet the standards before submitting them to the main repo, but they still hassled me over the naming of my local branches and doing local rebases, etc.

That's right, we do support pgvector (it is pre-installed on ParadeDB) and support full HNSW. In fact, we even have another extension, called pg_search, which is the combination of searching on pgvector and pg_bm25 for better results! Topic of another blog post to come sometime soon :)
They really are amazing for 99% of the journeys people do. Home to work and weekend trips to other places and back to home. If out and back is all within the range of the car then you can charge at home cheaply over night and you never go to a charging station ever.

For a lot of people the only time they will use a charging station is when they are driving far in excess of their normal day and it will force a 30 minute break after 3 hours of solid driving. People also expect that they will be full charging rapidly but where you are going likely has cheaper trickle overnight charging than the rapid charger so you fill up as little as you need only. The other possibility is you avoid the charge all together by using slower roads which avoids the waiting at the charger and uses less power per mile and often is a similar time for something that is nearly within range.

Once people get used to this its got a lot of benefits most of the time and people love their EVs because they do free them from petrol station trips on a regular basis.
For me it was a few weeks ago when Cory Doctorow posted a review of Varoufakis' book.
It's also nice that they tripled the overall performance, but it would've been cool if there was a non-sketchy way to power the thing.
For the oxygen supply there's a techology, already widely used, that runs 24/7 with no marginal maintenance cost. It takes O2 from the environment and outputs waste as a gas back into the environment, has a distribution system that can reach the entire body, and even its own pump that is self-repairing and typically lasts 70-100 years.

Seriously, why not extract O2 from the bloodstream? Is it that difficult? I don't doubt they considered this option; I just wonder what the issues are.
> My point was never specifically about the US but you keep insisting on it and have a bone to grind.

You said: "I don't live in the US, but if I did I would grind all the leetcode (as insulting as I find them) for one single reason: I don't want to work forever." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37809983

My first reply to you was to that comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37810176

The HN thread history doesn't lie. Your point that I replied to was specifically about the US.

It's downright condescending and is not earning you any readers.
Great to hear, a benchmark against trigram searching with gin index would also be great. There are multiple ways to do full text search with postgres and they’re all insanely fast and memory efficient. Benchmarking various methods for comparison would be helpful.

Great video again by Sebastian Lague.
In Beijing when flying to the US they confiscated water that I had bought post-security. There were people on the actual boarding ramp confiscating liquids. Wasn't good for me because my body needs to frequently drink water, I get dehydrated easily.

It didn't happen when flying to domestic destinations in China, so it makes me think the US requested that to happen.
> Read the article. It's about people that will retire.

Yes, and the point that everyone is trying to explain to you, which you refuse to acknowledge, is that in general, software developers in the US are doing fine. They don't need to "grind all the leetcode" and work for a BigCo. It's a choice not a financial mandate. Software developers, even outside of BigCos, are in the upper income brackets in the US.

I'm not saying that everyone in the US is doing fine as far as retirement is concerned, but the idea that software developers have to work for BigCos is absurd. I've never worked for a BigCo, and I'm doing fine.
Just as long as they don't get rid of winget, I don't care. Since they are converting the OS to an advertisement platform, they may be thinking of getting rid of winget, since that's how to avoid ads.
There certainly were defects in the deploy process, and we have since moved to a much better method. This was our docs tree, so it didn't break the code, just the, well, public documentation.

It just was annoying that you can use a submodule but git will happily ignore it not existing. It just made the whole thing super janky.
It's very rare that software is able to use all the memory bandwidth on a CPU. Something well written with multiple cores is where you will see it happen and that's why higher core counts can often have more memory lanes.

We are not an oligarchy and that term has a specific meaning you seem to not understand.

Ash HN: Best Micropayment Processor?
I want to work on a project that allows for easily sharing paywalled links for the price of $1. It seems Stripe will take 30 cents (plus transaction fees) on every dollar processed, and PayPal will take 49 cents, for credit card payments. Are there any cheaper alternatives out there?

I considered a workaround to use the Venmo API because it seems they only charge 3% for credit card processing. But are there any significant cons I should be aware of before building a SaaS on top of Venmo to facilitate high volumes of $1 payments?
You're asking me to compare an actual speech pattern of actual people with actors portraying a stereotype...

Either way, it sounds like you hate a particular attitude which may be meant to convey a certain kind of ironic detachment, just like you would hate people rolling their eyes. You don't actually hate vocal fry, you just hate it when people use it to convey annoyance/boredom at you.

Unfortunately, you may end up associating vocal fry in general, which is simply a speech pattern, to that particular use of it. And this is a problem, since lots of people use vocal fry as a normal part of their speech, no different from their automatic choice of pronouncing certain vowels as short or long.

This has been made impossible by using heuristics.

There is a model somewhere that basically judges you. It has a significant amount of inputs, and an output that is a risk score.

Websites like Amazon use this to determine whether your account is safe for example.

- IP history

- Activity (whatever that means)

I see the problem but have a hard time squaring it with history. Decades ago I had an old professor who spoke about how he was tasked, as a student decades prior yet, to write a report on what people will do with all their free time due to automation.

And yet, here we are with people still working many hours on average and many jobs going unfulfilled. I personally think it’s a problem with our relationship to work, rather than limited opportunity for work. Humans seem to have an insatiable apple for more, which requires continued amounts of work to be done. I think the bigger problem is getting people to have the skills to do the jobs that will still need to be done.
