Has anyone attempted to combine all of these desperate open source p2p file sharing solutions into a single app?

Like, if any time someone mained one of these systems, you could assume you had it. Even do discovery for everything at once on the receive side, and if both of you have the omni-sender thing just pick what protocol to send it over.
There's a mutual cynicism here. If Google's users think: "Google will violate my privacy no matter what, there's no point in complaining", then Google's executives will think: "Users will believe we are weak on privacy no matter what, there's no point in protecting user privacy".

To break the cycle, it helps to share concrete evidence of Google misbehaving rather than just presenting it as a fact that everyone knows. You get what you incentivize. If the feeling that Google sucks on privacy isn't linked to specific Google misbehavior whenever it is brought up, Google execs will correctly realize that users will feel the same no matter what decisions they actually make.

As a concrete point for discussion, in the zdnet article it states:

>After the news about NSA snooping first broke over the summer, Google decided it was time to start encrypting its datacenter-to-datacenter communications.

Is there an analogous security story from more recently where Google didn't try to address the problem in a similar way?

In the US lenders generally only offer a few options for the lengths of fixed rate mortgages, with 15 and 30 years probably being the most common.

There is generally no prepayment penalty here, so if you want some length that isn't one of the standard ones you can just get a longer one and then pay some extra principle each month to pay it off over the timeframe you wanted.

> whether only using load-following nuclear power plants (without hydro/gas turbines) could do the job.

It is feasible, but the problem would be the peak in winter: that would mean having more than twice as many nuclear reactors to be able to deal with a few winter nights with about 100GW of consumption. That'd be very wasteful.

> We have hydro in France, might as well use it rather than have only NPPs, and dams are great for load-following.

Depends on what kind of hydro though: mountain barrages are, but not really Run-of-the-river hydro.

The cable can't accelerate data transfers. Either it works, or it doesn't¹. If it works, it works at full speed.

The bit specific to this Apple cable is that it does TB4 at 3m. That's not possible without active electronics to regenerate the signal in the cable; the maximum length for a passive cable is 2m. Passive 2m cables can be had for about $30 (noname) to $70 (non-Apple quality brand).

Fun fact: if you integrate optical transceivers, the cable can essentially be arbitrary length. (Though at some point you run into problems due to neither hardware nor software being built to work with the built-up latency.)

[¹ - for the sake of completeness, yes, these cables can partially fail with either sporadic bit errors or breaking one of the lanes. Both of these failure modes are extremely rare.]
You are speaking like somebody from an actual community. That definitely shows you missed the drama.

You are supposed to say that we all have a right to an “exact” unpaid replica of the full RHEL distribution that we will explicitly not modify or improve in any way but instead directly commercialize and monetize.

is tempting. It's an interesting idea. Whether it's a good idea. It's hard to be completely objective when, for a brief time in the 80s, I spent one third of all my coding time maintaining elaborately baroquely indented Pascal comments. (Not my coding standard. It was fashionable at the time).

That the formatter doesn't replace tabs with space... quaintly
optimistic. A great shame, since requiring that people use

Arnold Schwarzenegger AI is a pretty smart guy
This AI from Arnold beat some new LLM models (Llama2, Gpt 3.5...)
I would do the (de)charging (or recuperation) after calculating the route. Sure, there are algorithms for energy optimal routing, but negative weights might not be that clean to handle in normal Dijkstra (or the speed up algorithms we have). So instead I would tell the algorithm to calculate an "energy optimized" route and avoid uphill, prefer downhill, avoid fast speeds (etc) and then I get one and a few alternative routes with elevation and all the other data back I need for energy calculations. This could be done within GraphHopper but I'm unsure if we should do this as this depends on the driving behaviour, car type, temperature and many more data which is probably better handled on the client side.

Now, the ideal charging stations along the route is a problem which involves yet another step similar to a vehicle routing problem (or travelling salesman) where one could use another tool we developed called jsprit. We have written a blog post a few years ago with the simpler situation of a single charging station along the route: https://www.graphhopper.com/blog/2015/05/05/solving-the-elec...

"I want the 10 year support battle tested code, but without giving you any money"

The idea of Free Software is that users have a right to the sources and have the right to distribute the software (and the source code). Red Hat is using and redistributing a lot of Free Software. So to try to stop people downstream from them to keep distributing the work of Red Hat that depends on Free Software is dead against the core of the idea.

Red Hat is profitable enough, and they do have loads of paying customers. Through CentOS (formerly), Alma, Rocky Linux etc. they also have people who use their stuff for free. This only enhances their corporate and paid-for offerings. What they are trying to do now will only hurt them, and it really isn't right.
But in that example a person is selling one house to buy another (presumably a cheaper/smaller one). Market conditions will even out.

> We didn't want to believe that all these smart people really were into stupidity like turning lead into gold.

Alchemy was not stupid in the 17th century. You have the benefit of three centuries of subsequent scientific advances, to which geniuses like Isaac Newton, and those other smart people, contributed significantly.

Besides alchemy, Newton was deeply immersed in various occult studies. He was also a heretic, being a Unitarian, keeping his religious beliefs secret. Scientific research occupied only a part of his time. The seventeenth century was a time of religious and political turmoil, millenarianism and apocalyptic prophecy abounded. Newton was a man of his time.
Hmm. He might rail against /usr/ports/ but it was better than the alternatives of the time (I note pkgsrc, maybe comparable, certainly similar)

His beef is that people are lazy. If there is a perl tool to munge something you use it, even if the rest of the process uses Python. This is the reductionism of
"if you start in awk stay in awk" which is good, honest and .. hard.

Ports is better than APT. apt, has the disease of 'I made a bundle for you but the name is not indicative of whats in it' -where Ports has metaports which are explicit what they pull in to make the "thing" they meta over.

APT has the "-dev" norm now. thats ok, but sort of stupid too. How can it possibly make sense to have to pull in the -dev thing to use its shared libs standalone in another package? (I have seen this)

Ports is the bazaar but with sub-zones. Like the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, things tend to clump together. Sometimes you wonder why its in sysadmin/ and not text/ but in the end its birds-of-a-feather.

I studied Design of Experiments (DOE) in college -- it was part of the core curriculum in my major. The content feels like it ought to be very useful (it's basically techniques on how to conduct experiments efficiently and reducing the number of runs, thus reducing overall cost).... yet I've never had occasion to ever apply it.

One area where I feel it might be relevant to my work is in hyperparameter tuning, especially when function evals are expensive. Instead of doing grid search (which is a brute-force exhaustive search), fractional factorial designs can search the multidimensional space with way less function evals. Yet I don't do it because it's easier to write code to do brute force and let the computer chug away over night.

In the world of web analytics, fractional factorial lets you run multivariate experiments efficiently rather than a combinatorial combination of A/B tests. From online articles, I'm guessing people do use it there, but A/B tests still dominate.

Fractional factorial is also most effective when the covariates are orthogonal and independent, which is rarely the case. We can get around this by projecting high dimensional covariates into lower dimensional space using PCA, which guarantees orthogonality, but this also seems to not be done so much.

Just wondering if anyone is using fractional factorial designs in real life? (or optimal designs like D-optimal designs)
My reading of it was more ‘I think they shouldn’t do that’ rather than ‘we are going to try to stop them doing that’. A morality vs legality kind of thing.

I suppose this sounds useful if you've got a really complicated cloud deployment, but it's sad to me that people would need software to understand their own application deployments.

> Where people come up with that kind of cash is beyond me, but they're coming up with it one way or another.

A "cash buyer" just means that the buyer didn't open a new mortgage to close the sale. Cash buyers often bring in cash from other interest-accruing loans -- such as HELOCs or portfolio loans. Foreigners or irregular income earners are a couple examples of people who might not qualify for a conventional mortgage and would need to tap into alternative loans to buy a house and thereby become a "cash buyer". Cash offers are also considered more competitive (they close faster), so someone might make a cash offer (via other loans) just to make their offer have a higher chance of succeeding.
Yeah, it's really useful! There's this fork called PairDrop, and it's more convenient, you can pair two devices or create a room by entering a code (or scanning a QR code), and that works over the internet too. It's slightly more complicated, but worth it for the features.

One way to do authorization is to sign each operation/message and then verify the signature to match a public key in an access control list. This also enables CRDTs to work in a peer to peer context.

The utility is distributing the money – if you don't see it, then you are alright with the bank system, having a credit card and a bank account. You are probably lucky enough to be born in a country which is not hated by the whole world, so it is integrated in the global economics. So as national of such well-regulated and established country, for you letting money to flow free always sounds like fraud and grift, but to some it is a matter of buying food and clothes, and it is an only mean of international money transfer left because well they are in a different situation and the current world can not provide you with even basic economic rights without discriminating

When you refinance, it’s just a new mortgage. You can do it purely for rate, or you can do a cash out refi (refinance at market rate for your house, pocket the equity you’ve built up as cash, but now your loan is bigger). The loan terms are like a regular mortgage, because they basically are. The originator of the mortgage often sells it on the secondary market.

Ask HN: What's the best phone you ever had?
Some weeks ago I broke my Pixel 4a screen. Unfortunately it was already out of the guarantee period, so to repair it I had to pay. However I didn't hesitate to pay for the reparations since this phone is the best I've had from far. It's small enough that can be used comfortably, the camera is good, it's fast, and it was cheap.

Which is the best phone you've ever had? I mean the phone you would pay a big chunk of money to be able to use it again.
I think your tester would actually break that active Apple cable (because an active cable essentially behaves as a "device" since it has active circuitry on the high-speed lines.)
That would make it a bit harder to link to you, but definitely not impossible. It would definitely have been better to not do it at all.
I like the idea of "package manager" for servers. Could that not be docker / nix plus another layer?

I think the issue is that for almost everyone tens of servers is the sweet spot. Most teams and even most companies don't need to manage more than tens of servers (how many teams even in large companies actually use or even touch more than 100 servers in prod?)

I recently bought a 5 bay 10Gbps USB-C hard disk enclosure. Most of the reviews were very good, a few mentioned that they had slow speeds, weird disconnects, data corruption.

Plugged the thing in with two 16TB disks on a Linux machine, and proceeded to test the disks / enclosure to make sure disks were fine before moving any serious data on those - sometimes you get duds or they get damaged during transport - and that the setup was stable and performant enough for my needs.

Well, after a few TBs written it looked like one of the two disks was having write timeouts, operations hanged SMART counters were going up like crazy. It really looked like one of the disks had damage from transport. Tried it again just to be sure and now it was the second disk, with the first one being perfectly fine! More tests showed that the failure was fairly random.

So, buggy enclosure? Well, out of a link I tried the other cable (USB-C <-> USB-A) that came with the enclosure. That was slower, but writing was all fine.

Tried the original C-C and errors came up again. I had other C-C cables around of various but not spectacular quality, all of them were showing various issues, some even failing right on USB enumeration. Ultimately I decided to not cheap out and find a good cable, and I had an Apple TB3 cable - which does support USB 3.2 2x2 - for some reason that I didn't try as I wanted to keep it for something else. It's been rock solid and plenty fast.

My guess is that root cause was interference with other cables unable to cope at higher speeds.

That's the nice thing about subscribing via RSS. You can seamlessly follow different creators no matter what platform they are on. This greatly reduces platform lock-in and over time makes it feasible for creators to move off of YouTube.

Maybe not for American/western content. I think they have some of the best anime and their Korean dramas are totally a guilty pleasure of mine.

But more to my point, many of my friends from places like Thailand or Philipines swear to Netflix exactly because it has high(ish) quality local programming and American and Korean shows. They also have a lot of Bollywood outside western markets (so does Amazon) and these are things that seem completely overlooked on HBO/Disney/Apple.

So yes, if you’re into American content, Netflix is a so-so contender, but internationally it just seems way stronger to me than any other (unless you mainly consume local content)
From what I see on HN, many people (mostly, I guess, in AI industry) justify Microsoft/ClosedAI ignoring copyright when training LLMs because we don’t prevent humans from learning on copyrighted material and using it to create artworks.

Therefore, by their logic, LLMs are “like human” enough that they should have this basic right as well.

An understanding that “thinking” or “training” in case of an LLM is not at all like thinking in case of a human would go a long way to realizing this take doesn’t hold water.
