CXL 3.0 is where it gets interesting, where you can start to have switched fabric where many hosts can talk to many devices. Having that pool of ram & GPUs be on demand usable by whomever has some attractive possibilities. Also, one can just imagine having some pools of data in CXL memory that a host can just attach to & read, which seems like a cool possibility.

It does kind of upset me a bit that CXL 3.0 still seems purely host-to-switch-to-device oriented. If you have your formerly PCIe slots on your cores speaking CXL and doing directory memory over fabric, I'd really really love to be able to talk to other hosts. Maybe that happens & is possible in 3.0, but it feels like CXL isnt paving that cowpath, isn't making is obvious, and that there will be a bunch of proprietary nasty ways to bridge computers & chat over CXL that are all non-standard, & I wish CXL had been more direct about making themselves & their upcoming switched fabric viable & interesting for host-to-host.
We cancel each service as soon as we subscribe (easy through Apple subscriptions.

Most of the time we don’t even realise the month has passed and the service has cancelled until we want to watch something on the service, then it takes 15 seconds to resubscribe.
>Java is not the best for error handling by any stretch. But it's easily better than Go.

Nah. If you ever worked in a big enough company you would have:

try & catch Throwable at the main entry.

Go forces to think about every error.

C# doesn't even have checked errors, after using Java for 10 years - checked exceptions are dumb.

Go doesn't have a stack trace in the error and thats dumb.
Had to trim title to fit under 80 chars as per rules.
Basically this is markup + code (Javascript), which is a combination targeted by MDX. The last time someone mentioned this, the author said Nota is geared towards documentation, while MDX is geared towards web sites: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31349579

If that is so, I think someone needs to wrap Nota into a product for it to take off. Because while the results look great, fiddling with node.js to build a document is too much work -- it's like Latex all over again. Most people will prefer to use Notion or a word processor.
Dart takes like a month, if at that, to learn. Its mundanity makes it interchangeable.
Blender is fairly amazing as a case though. I know it has a foundation and a lot of monetary support there. But I guess it didn't always?
No seriously, when you write your title, base it on something the HN community agrees with even if it's completely irrelevant to your article.

It'll do a lot better since HN readers now just upvoted based on the title without looking at the article.

Been my observation at least as I've noticed a steady drop in HN quality and more politics BS on the front page.
> Web pages are undeniably the future of digital documents.

I strongly disagree in the general case. PDFs all the way.
They block posts about it on their subreddit, ironically enough.
> On platforms such as DigitalOcean and AWS, they can be way cheaper.

Then immediately follows with specs and prices:

> Replit.com - $6.40/month

> 2.199GHz/1GB RAM/10GB transfer

vs

> DigitalOcean.com - $6.00/month

> 2.494GHz/1GB RAM/1TB transfer

EDIT: I originally misread 10GB as 10TB - I'll still maintain that it likely doesn't matter. It's a managed VM where deployments are handled for you, for $0.40 more, and if the author is burning through 10GB of bandwidth monthly on hobby VMs I'd be surprised.
>I just wanna

However in this instance they (Discord) would have no reason to care about what you want, so saying that you want something is really no argument.
Photopea has completely replaced my Photoshop usage, and now that I have an Illustrator equivalent, that monthly creative cloud subscription isn't looking too appealing...
I think it was ethical or political. e.g. "WTF is the US doing having bases in Syria".

The answer of "WFT it wants to" isn't very enlightening, even from a realpolitik perspective.

Why is the US occupying part of Syria? Why is the US involved in the middle east at all?
Beyond the issues other commenters have pointed out with your analysis, I would add to that to not conflate the charger network quality with the connector itself.

There’s nothing significantly technically superior about Tesla’s connector. Most of what’s superior about owning a Tesla is that the chargers are better maintained and placed in more/better locations. Heck, Electrify America wouldn’t even exist if the VW dieselgate scandal didn’t happen. The problem with CCS isn’t the connector, it’s that most companies who run US charging stations are doing it halfheartedly.

I think it’s also in bad taste to have a main point that European-style regulations are inferior to the American laissez-faire system without very much commitment to the facts surrounding why those regulations are supposedly “bad.” I can’t think of many metrics where the US leads Europe in terms of transportation. It seems to me that EU regulations help do things like keep pedestrian deaths and average MPG/emissions lower than the US.

Heck, the EU has double the EV adoption rate of the US. I have to think that a universal connector helped EU customers shop with confidence.

https://www.statista.com/chart/27431/ev-unit-sales-per-capit...

What we have right now in the United States are two major incompatible systems which is exactly what the EU avoided in the first place. Even the NACS solution isn’t a full solution because non-Tesla vehicles can’t use older generation superchargers.
Don't underestimate the value of constant foot traffic. You are nearly forcing drivers to visit locations and stay there for at least 15 minutes. The final step is just getting them to take out their wallet.
Right, I did see that. I get to pick any evening I want during the next ten weeks to do my futzing with the thing I was hoping to pay to leave alone in perpetuity.
What do you pay for electricity?

It looks like you'll pay about 1/4 for a Tesla then gas.

> This is one of the most prevalent and destructive delusions of the libertarian ideology: that the marketplace and the private sector are actually better at delivering important services to the public than the government.

Drivel.
No, but they do have requirements to receive federal funding to build chargers under the recent NEVI program, and that includes using connectors that are non-proprietary.
it shows that you have zero experience in automation, because no high value job is fully automatable.

Human augmented+automation will always be more superior/flexible/valuable and large corporations with a lot of capital will never be able to be as flexible and nimble for all customers and all their use cases, as a small player like myself can be
Hey friend, the answers to your questions are immediately accessible via the world wide web, but seeing as how I actually live in this country and have endured damn near a year of this dogwhistling quasi-rhetorical inquiry that you mistakenly believe was novel enough to chip in, I'm gonna let you find your own way to it. Or not. But this "debate", which never should've been a debate in the first place, has lost its charm. I hope one day you fix your heart.
Thanks for posting this. I wish they had a curated list for the more popular titles. Scanning through the collection is like a treasure hunt. The voices are a little bit robotic, but it is really remarkable how good the technology is getting. We are really starting to cross the uncanny valley here.
I think that soccer has a problem where the goalies are so effective that the game often comes down to attempting to shoot on the goal as many times as possible in the hope that eventually the goalie makes a mistake. Things are made worse by the fact that when the goalie gets the ball they generally throw it most of the way down the field; effectively resetting the state of the gameplay.

As a result, any given segment of the game is not particularly relevant to the outcome; what's relevant is basically the overall time of possession/goal attempts across the various segments of the game.

Compare that to something like football where the outcome of a given play depends much more overtly on the play the QB decides to run, the skills of the players, how the strengths & weaknesses of the two teams match up, etc. In addition, there's a greater degree to which the plays in a possession build upon each other in order to contribute or take away from a team's ability to score during that possession.
Disagree to disagree - employees are free to begin working for more productive companies when they're fired with no provisions for healthcare.

In spirit though, I agree. Social healthcare not tied to employer would allow for more labor mobility. These transitions should not abrupt or catastrophic ideally.
Huh, not half bad! Reporting a few bugs.
I thought I had been once, and got a very scary email that came from my own domain, claiming to have gotten into my things, and I fully assumed it was the VPS that got hacked. After calming down and raiding the shit out of everything I realized it was just plain old domain spoofing. Both disappointing and terrifying at the same time!
sure. we dont bomb people for fun and put it on pay per view.
Ever heard of ITAR? As a European I find the US's reluctance to adhere to EU law double standard.
"We are told that technology takes our jobs, reduces our wages, increases inequality, threatens our health, ruins the environment, degrades our society, corrupts our children, impairs our humanity, threatens our future, and is ever on the verge of ruining everything."

Ok, fair enough. I wouldn't pin any of these issues on "technology". I lay them at the feet of "businesses" specifically operating within a capitalist landscape. Unfortunately "technology" is tightly coupled to "businesses" in the Western world and I don't think that removing constraints on the latter will benefit anyone except, you know... rich people.

"We believe the techno-capital machine of markets and innovation never ends, but instead spirals continuously upward. Comparative advantage increases specialization and trade. Prices fall, freeing up purchasing power, creating demand. Falling prices benefit everyone who buys goods and services, which is to say everyone. Human wants and needs are endless, and entrepreneurs continuously create new goods and services to satisfy those wants and needs, deploying unlimited numbers of people and machines in the process."

Calls for further doubling down on Capitalism given the dire inequality and our inability to meet even basic needs for so many people in our already rich society strikes me as the utmost expression of societal tone deaf.
I can’t square your comment with the fact that my experience of the other big name streaming services has been just as good as my experience with Netflix. They basically all just work almost all the time.

If Netflix has more valuable technical excellence it should show in the customer experience of the product.
It's not like paid services haven't done tons of rugpulls and unannounced changes over the last few years.
Using national flags as a language symbol is pretty dodgy anyway. I suppose I could get upset that there's a monarchist flag for English on most websites.

Exactly. I'll be furious if it turns into another trendchasing JS-required SPA.

By all means use the funds to pay for additional bandwidth or storage, but don't waste it on useless hostile UI changes.
There's no practical difference between 'tram", "train" and "light rail".

There are lots of autonomous trains all over the world. Many airports use them. Many city subways use them.

You probably haven't been looking hard enough. They are there. The first time you ride in one can be a little unnerving when you can look out through the front window and there's no driver blocking your view.
I agree with the general idea of the article (that MA is a silly goose), but even then it's pretty easy to see that the content of the article is not of the highest quality.
Mate, the code in question also simply propagates error up the stack. I have seen this all the time in pretty much all program. There's only a few times where exceptions are actually handled; most of the time, they are truly exceptional. What is anyone going to do when printf/malloc/read/open/close fails?

If I am using a library, I pretty much expect each and every one of its API to return a Result<T> or Option<T>. Those that don't either: do something funny to hide the bad states or simply crash and die which means I have to do some double checks on my end.
You can also quickly add tasks, notes, and bookmarks using the command bar. Simply type CMD+1 from anywhere, and the command bar will open. From there, you can select the action you want to take without interrupting your workflow.

Additionally, you can open the command bar and start typing the bookmark name, then press Enter to quickly access it. Pressing SHIFT+ENTER on the bookmark or any typed URL will automatically open it in split view.
Is v2l really that big a deal to people? The house side of the system is VERY expensive. Light loads ARE a big deal, but can be handled out of a standard outlet (like Ford's ProPowerOnboard thing)
It's retro but my local library lets people checkout 30 DVD/Blurays at a time and the selection of more recent stuff is pretty good, though popular stuff may take a while to waitlist.
Ask HN: Feeling a bit like a deer in the headlights, any advice is appreciated
Right now I am in school, I graduate in the Spring. It's a top 10 school. I'm majoring in Computer Science, but I'm feeling paralyzed because I am getting zero responses for career. I have a huge bill to pay starting next year. I feel like I made a huge mistake going back to school and getting a CS degree. I think I'm feeling paralyzed because I have no idea how the industry is going to shake out, whether there will be opportunities in the Spring. Any suggestions?

Europe seems to be doing just fine with their CCS Type 2 connectors and network. Tesla uses the CCS Type 2 connector in that market on all of their cars and chargers.

If anything their public charging network is significantly denser and more interoperable than in North America.

The US basically failed to achieve a workable public charging network, which has led to Tesla's buildout lead and the current situation where they are opening their connector to become eligible for future federal funding and to bring the other manufacturers on board with their connector and network.

I don't think the story of this being a clear cut policy win of US vs EU checks out so cleanly as the commenter above is trying to make it.
I think the author is literally a kid? Which I’d normally dismiss, but I guess kids are a ton of replit’s userbase?
Ancient people did not see animals are beings with feeling, they were seen as useful production machines.

It's only in modern times that we have the luxury of taking the animal's feeling into account at all. I'm sure you would want even more consideration for the animals, but it's much better today than it was.
> 9TB more of bandwidth per month

I think you mixed up your units. 1TB — 10GB == 990GB. In terms of transfer cost (at least according to those numbers, which I have not verified) DO is orders of magnitude less expensive per GB. Surely that deserves “way cheaper”?
GDPR only has extraterritorial jurisdiction to the processing of personal data by a controller or processor that is “established” in the EU. That means an EU based controller or processor cannot ship the data off shore and process them off shore. For a company that is not established in EU, GDPR has no jurisdiction.
Not commenting on price but have you confused 10GB with 10 TB or am I reading everything wrong
While you won't win rationale arguments with ad hominem attacks and theatrics you certainly will get lots of clicks and ad impressions. The irony being that the author would have had an incomprehensibly different life if Marc Andreessen and others like him acted the way the author would want them to act.

Society really should have a reasoned and thought through discussion on the impacts of AI specifically and technology generally. The author is not helping.
> Public money indirectly comes from the most profitable companies

(In the U.S.) Corporations only account for 6% of federal tax revenue (https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/us-tax-revenue-by...).

And probably the most profitable companies are the ones that are the best at skirting corporate tax law...
I didn’t read the article but your numbers seem to compare 1GB with 10TB.
In a scenario where Rivian fails and AWS buys it out of bankruptcy it would presumably cost a lot less than 17 billion. That it's currently burning a billion per year is exactly why it might be worth bringing in house, where they can presumably cut that by a lot.
He has founded three successful companies Netscape, Opsware and A16Z so it’s not luck only.
Your own quote says 10GB from replit vs 1,000GB from digital ocean.

So, assuming your own quote is correct, DO is indeed way cheaper for anything that is more than a toy.
> a broader movement that seeks to take all the guardrails off of technological development and push forward with “progress,” whatever the cost may be.

The manifesto starts with this as a defining motif. Growth is life, no-growth is death. Homeostasis be damned!
You must not change history. You can use a new name, but that should be considered a new and separate identity.
We should all do this.
Because it's 10GB not 10TB?
I love photopea, will be looking into this one!
A true domino effect has occurred in the market, and in less than one year. Stellantis, VW, and Lucid are now looking at each other to see who will have the absolute worst bargaining position with Tesla.
Oh I’m not saying that paid services are perfect by any means. But relying on a free service in prod is unquestionably more risky than using an established service in a paid context.

HBO's app is a dumpster fire, but disney+ is quite nice.
If people actually follow the rules they claim they do then yes. In practice once you ask them to put their money where their mouth is people make an exception. Again see the Ethereum DAO incident.
Do you seriously think that Andreesen would advocate for technological progress regardless of an arbitrarily high cost to human welfare?
Are you just mad that the Montreal Protocol worked?
Disney is also a huge tech company, and has been one for a while. They didn't buy a system for managing theme parks off the shelf.

Learning how linux operates, ops is done, networks are configured, firewalls are hardened, processes are monitored, resources are allocated, disks are backed up, ips are assigned, routing tables work, symlinks work, and code is deployed is never going to be an obsolete skill.

Pick whatever amazing heroku, fly, render, replit, next, k8s, nomad, docker, whatever platform you think has abstracted things away to make those skills obsolete and you'll find an entire cohort of our industry dedicated to using those skills to keep those services online, improving how they operate, and writing the literal software that powers them. Do you think docker or k8s could exist without Ops knowledge or systems programmers?
I'd be willing to amend my assertion to just US justice systems.

Herb Sutter has a talk where he makes a pretty convincing argument that making a backwards incompatible change in your language costs you about 10 years in adoption
I use the Fire service as an example. This is something that always works massively better as a tax-funded government service rather than a market-driven service. The thought of 3 different fire trucks turning up to your burning house and then pitching for your business, or refusing to save your burning house because you didn't pay for some optional add-on, or only saving your burning house but not rescuing your pets because of some contract clause, is horrifying [0].

And obviously, if there are some things that are better delivered as tax-funded government-provided services, there are others. Where you draw that line is arguable. But it's definitely not at "markets are universally better for everything". Because Fire Service.

[0] and outside the USA, we think like this about healthcare too, but it's less obviously simple and straightforward.
The reasons we're not going to live in a technological utopia in the future are the reasons we aren't living in one now: money goes up, not down. When you create a robot to do the job of five men you haven't given five men a life of leisure, you've given them a pink slip and their boss a higher profit margin. We're not happier than we used to be. We're not healthier than we used to be. We are lonelier yet more crowded, sicker despite medical advancement, and miserable, so what the fuck are we doing this all for?
nah we hand the bombs to israel and let them do it.
I kind of dislike XKCD strips like that because they seem to encourage people not to think. In actuality the issue may be much more nuanced:

- Perhaps different things do have a greater or lesser degree to which they lend themselves to deep analysis & enjoyment

- Perhaps engaging in meditative analysis of some interest such as wine is valuable in itself even if it is mostly arbitrary what people choose to analyze.

- Perhaps the decision that wine is worth studying was mostly just an accident of history, but now that it's become part of culture failing to engage with it represents a failure to engage with valuable cultural traditions.

Any of those ideas and others might be worth agreeing or disagreeing with. However, it sometimes feels like people just read the XKCD comic and don't think beyond "wine snobs dumb".

Edit: To be clear, I'm not trying to say that the parent post is doing that. Just that I'm not a fan of how XKCD engages (or more specifically doesn't engage) with some issues.

On one hand, I agree. On the other, we do have examples of nation states killing journalists and other people with the use of security bugs in applications.
