As a percentage, the poor will have more money. It's pretty obvious that if there are 2 people, 1 with no money and the other with $5000, taxing everyone 20% of their wealth and redistributing it evenly makes the first person better off.

Landlords set their rent at what the local market will bear. That is not just a trait of "shitty landlords": I have friends who inherited a flat or two and rent it out, but are bohemian types and not too concerned about making lots of money in real estate, and still their guide for how much to charge tenants is what the market in their town bears. Without targeted legislation, everyone getting some extra money absolutely will result in rent increases even from many chill landlords.
Things are arguably worse in the USA. 35 states have laws on the books preventing personal boycott of Israeli products. In some states employees can and are fired for choosing not buy products in their personal life.

It is really disgusting. Imagine laws requiring the firing teachers because they choose not buy Israeli shampoo or whatever at home.

It's optionally anonymous. People don't have to publicize their names on AoC. With Github (and I assume the other identity providers) you get an option of: anonymous #some number, your name (from Github), your username (from Github). IIRC, the anonymous option is the default.
That's not remotely true, and case studies have shown this over and over again.

Poverty doesn't have to exist in the US and Canada. It's a choice to leave people trapped in these cycles, much as it's a choice to spend trillions on needless war.

Companies are making new feature phones today that will connect with cell networks. And are you really required to have a smartphone to register a birth? Was there not a workaround for feature phones? State governments have to be able to let indigent people register births, so there must be a workaround.
> With that said, if they do tank, it can seriously be replaced by someone in a weekend, maybe 2

It can't. The classic HN mistake here is to think the difficulty in replacement is engineering / building it. That's pretty much never the actual case. Engineering it [0] is the easiest part of building a replacement.

[0] this part: "Direct upload mastered files to s3 from the artists, activejob to convert to various formats and throw back to s3 via activestorage, subdomain model scoping for artist pages, stripe integration for payments."
On iOS, Tor used to recommend using the Onion browser (they probably still do, I haven't checked). Some time ago, the onion browser changed how it connects to the Tor network to use Orbot instead of connecting directly.

I can not help but see this as a malicious change.

Orbot directs all traffic from my phone through the Tor network. If an iPhone is secretly pinging some backend server for telemetry / looking for automatic updates / etc, then all those pings will now happen from the Tor exit node, effectively completely deanonymizing the user.

It's a trivial matter for an adversarial agent to ask apple for lists of all hits from a specifc tor exit node and identifying information from that user, and cross check that against whatever traffic they are trying to deanonymize.

I might be misinformed here, but I would love to be corrected about why anyone should trust Tor enough to access it from an iPhone anymore.

So what you are saying is that the IoC / Decorator approach is the way to avoid spaghetti code? That's an interesting assertion.

> You are setting yourself up for some bad tech debt in the future

You mean like being saddled with a product that depends on a large framework that fewer and fewer people want to deal with?

The way to avoid tech debt is to retain plasticity, keep more options open and not paint yourself into a corner where your choice of framework dictates how you structure entire systems.

And, of course, to hire people based on talent and ability rather than a line on their CV that promises experience with a given framework.

> I feel like employee happiness and job satisfaction is harder to manage remotely. Or it just might be that this employee wouldn't have worked out anyway. Who knows.

It is, but there are mitigations. The big one is that you have to ask. You can't bump into an employee and have a chat on the way to lunch or in an elevator and get a candid take on X or Y. You gotta ask directly, and often take the temperature a few times.

Experienced employees will vent or direct complaints -- squeaky wheels, grease, etc. -- but the noobs may not know how to complain, or if they should feel invalidated, dumb, etc. Hard to know what condition your condition is in.
How would that be different if you did all steps 1-2 with a foreign corporate entity while being personally tax resident in Germany? Step 4 would be the same except if you were hiding the existence of the foreign corporate entity from the German tax authorities - but my understanding is that reporting steps 1 and 2 to the German tax authorities is legally mandatory for any German tax resident.
Tech is being hit harder to the extent it depends more on capital financing for employee compensation. Going from 0 to 5.5% fed funds rate has enormous implications for the cost of capital and growth models. Corporate debt financing yield went from 2% to 6% (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BAMLC0A0CMEY). (Before the pandemic it was 3% for a decade, except for a small blip when the fed tried to raise the rates and the market sneezed.)

The hurdle rate went up accordingly. A lot of business models that worked over the past decade are on borrowed time right now. Every company and employee's situation is different and talent is still rewarded, but many pre-revenue companies are facing a very different financial reality and can sustain a much smaller workforce.

Apparently staffers are trying to unionize.

Assuming they want to run it maintenance mode and have it not burn a hole in their pocket, they probably want people not pushing for raising wages, benefits, etc. in the future or now -- they'll likely sell off what remains to private equity or maybe try to get AI to run the show.
How does changing the numbers in people’s bank accounts change whether or not they can put food on the table? We still have the same number of potatoes, same number of mouths to feed, and same pressures in place which will cause the same real economic outcome - I.e. I’ll swap 500 potatoes for a car, nothing less, money is just the medium of exchange. All that will change is that potatoes now cost $80 each

> too often are these kinds of statements thrown about without any qualification, as if they are self-evident truths

It's because different people think in different levels of abstraction. One admin might be thinking about a handful of servers and another an entire fleet of VMs. The way you manage each is very different. Clickops can work well for a small number of servers and a full orchestration setup can be over engineering.

But your real issue is that blanket statements never work in such scenarios. However, I think it's pretty well established that reproducible server state is a best-practice. How you get there is up to you.

But as an argument against backup/restore -- you can't use backup/restore to generate new servers from an existing template without some kind of extra scripting (if for no other reason to avoid address/naming conflicts). And if you're already scripting that...
"A Python signal handler does not get executed inside the low-level (C) signal handler. Instead, the low-level signal handler sets a flag which tells the virtual machine to execute the corresponding Python signal handler at a later point(for example at the next bytecode instruction)"

The low-level C handler set the flag then returns. Only some time later does the Python run-time call the associated Python handler that you see in the Examples section.

Looks amazing! So many potential applications.

Does it use PX4, Ardupilot, a customized version of these, or custom firmware? What sort of MCUs and ground station? Are you using an all-in-one electronics sort of unit, or distributed systems (eg CAN nodes, LRUs or w/e) How are you solving the RF communications, ie what sort of range are you getting, and what frequency/transmitters/power level? What sort of range do you expect? It seems like it would be unlimited, other than the RF comms.
Distribution upgrades have never been an unobtrusive thing. Despite this, everything will continue working exactly as configured before the upgrade, which applies new configuration recommendations by the vendor. What is wrong with that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_two-step_bankruptcy

> A Texas two-step bankruptcy is a two-step bankruptcy strategy under US bankruptcy law in which a solvent parent company spins off liabilities into a new company, and then has that new company declare bankruptcy.[1] In the first step, the parent company undergoes a Texas divisive merger, which allows companies to split off their liabilities from their assets. In the second step, the newly created spin-off declares a chapter 11 bankruptcy, usually in North Carolina, where bankruptcy courts are perceived to be more open to this scheme. The Texas two-step allows solvent companies to shield their assets from litigants using protections that are normally reserved for bankrupt companies.[1] The goal of a Texas two-step is for the parent company to gain a third-party release of all liabilities it assigned to its spinoff, thus preventing litigants from pursuing those claims against the parent.

Show HN: Quepid now works with vector search
Hi HN!

I lead product for Vectara (https://vectara.com) and we recently worked with OpenSource connections to both evaluate our new home-grown embedding model (Boomerang) as well as to help users start more quantitatively evaluating these systems on their own data/with their own queries.

OSC maintains a fantastic open source tool, Quepid, and we worked with them to integrate Vectara (and to use it to quantitatively evaluate Boomerang). We're hoping this allows more vector/hybrid players to be more transparent about the quality of their systems and any models they use instead of everyone relying on and gaming a benchmark like BIER.

More details on OSC's eval can be found at https://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2023/10/11/learning-t...
That's not what the data from all the studies out there suggest. The whole of the /r/BasicIncome FAQ is worth reading, but I'll draw your attention specifically to https://pay.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/wiki/index?v=b4ba38f6-e...

I always enjoyed their weekly Bandcamp radio show. It was a great way to discover new artists, often from genres I would not necessarily listen to.

Not sure why they stopped it some years ago. Real pitty.

Sounds like a good argument for apprenticeship-style training. The trades do it fairly well, and I reckon you could probably skill up a number of IT folks and jr coders with a similar approach.
about the "cons", another con is that granting access to your unified account from your work or business perspective is "tricky". Github Business accounts can grant specific access only for people identifying with your company's identity provider, like okta or similar. So that can potentially reduce that risk as well, so that your employer can revoke access to okta, and thus revoke access to work repositories, for example. Without that you need to be very strict and do some manual work to grant and revoke accesses.
Heh, I've been working on...a good portion of the basics that this project / paper have tested out for the past few months as an idea (as I work more on other more material problems for my side project).

I have a whole document of my thoughts on this topic, and as I was reading through the paper just piece after piece of the concepts that I had documented kept coming up.

Glad I am not the only one thinking in this direction.
Agreed. I’ve seen a lot of complaining about how bandcamp’s UI is “stale” or “outdated” and as far as I can tell, what that means is it still works and does all the stuff it needs to do, but it would look different if it was built today and that bothers people. I don’t really get it, but then again, I still use Craigslist and old.reddit.

Edit: although, full disclosure, I haven’t looked at Reddit in months so if they shut down the old interface as part of the recent fit of user-hostility, I haven’t noticed.
How irresponsible to give actual names in an ongoing investigation. This is NYT journalism at it’s best?
Yeah same. I didn't read the articles often, but the ones I did I usually walked away with at least one new artist I enjoyed.
I'm mostly a python programmer, but I find a lot of the ML frameworks are overkill for what they actually do, especially for inference. Fortran is pretty close to numpy - it handles arrays natively including slicing and matmul instinsics, you don't have to worry about memory etc. But it compiles into something fast and lightweight much more easily than python. It's nothing you couldn't do in C but I think Fortran is better suited for linear algebra.

See also https://github.com/rbitr/llama2.f90 which is basically the same thing but for running llama models and has 16-bit and 4-bit options and a lot more optimization.
I can concur. My four year old brother MFC works like a charm. Every part is easily accessible and it works on the network without any issues
Or don’t move out because you operate a business out of Germany and none of this is relevant. How many businesses do you think ever reach a phase where this is a problem, let alone actually reach it *and* want to move elsewhere.
The paper talks about how C is designed for a PDP architecture and that's the problem. Is there any language that is not that way and can handle parallelism and all the things mentioned in the paper?

Yes, I do see Erlang mentioned but I don't think it was considered a solution.

You haven't really understood the value Bandcamp offers and you're criticising them for not being something they never claimed to be.

While bootstrapping, you do not know whether you would ever want to go full GmbH. So biting the bullet is a little bit like betting on the future. You have considerably higher cost and hassle from day one on and would need a tax consultant for doing your yearly balances. Of course all the cool kids have GmbHs but do you really need it? Its main advantage is that you can sell it at once or in pieces if you need financing, but even that is manageable with an Einzelunternehmen.

With regard to risk, the CEO of a GmbH is still personally liable for a lot of risks and liabilities including the social insurance payments of employees.

Also, all risks you can get insurance for you should get insurance for regardless of the form of the enterprise.

Agree that the UG is the worst choice since you are basically announcing you have zero savings behind and can generally not be trusted.

If you want to get more serious with your Einzelunternehmen, you could also consider becoming an „e.K.“ (eingetragener Kaufmann). Same tax rules but full HGB (Handelsgesetzbuch, special law that governs interactions between companies) applies.

I have no reason to believe that Netflix paid $1 million for a recommend algorithm and then threw it away.

Many DARPA projects from the 1990s were "cancelled" and then mysteriously showed up fifteen years later.

Either Netflix is lying about throwing it away, or we are supposed to believe a company that is fanatical about making money, to the degree of churning out 'sastificing' films and guiding users to them, is somehow also mr. butterfingers when it come to letting research grants slip through it's fingers and discarding the sucessful results..

Oh wow that's interesting, thanks for sharing! I thought that the value in today's LLMs comes from the wealth of "free" crowd-sourced answers online.
