> On Mars you can build shelter with dirt or in caves. You would be better protected than in LEO.

Is that true? Maybe if you never ever go outside but you might as well just dig a very deep cave here on Earth if your entire is to prove that humans can live in extremely inhospitable environments.
Let's just say I hope I am interpreting something incorrectly, because if 500k is the minimum price and you match it to the minimum configuration found here:

https://oxide.computer/product/specifications

Then yeah, it's ridiculously expensive.

That said compared to competitors it's in the right ballpark, but I have no idea how companies manage to spend so much money for this stuff. I am the founder of my own tech startup and I remember when I was looking at storage solutions and building out computing clusters there were companies charging absolutely insane prices.

I literally just spent about a week of my own time studying and learning as much as I could about it on my own and ended up building out my own custom solution for about 20-25% of the price these other companies were charging. I remember hearing people trying to scare me out of it saying if I did my own solution I'd need to hire full time operations people, and I'd always have to worry about things breaking and maintenance or headaches and nightmares etc...

It's been over 10 years now and absolutely no headaches, no nightmares, and very very minimal maintenance is needed.
Agree 100%. I've always found it surprising there isn't a requirement for symmetric bandwidth charges. I think it's fine if AWS wants to have expensive bandwidth, but having free ingress + exorbitant egress seems like a transparent attempt at preventing customers from partial migrations to competitors.
I doubt that's controversial if we generalize from GPT to computer-control. Tesla has probably been banking on FSD this whole time.
I have worked with one of those freaks last year. She argued that every block had to be exactly like it was on Figma, and she once sent me a screenshot with a little ruler drawn on it, to show me a 3px gap. It was such a waste of time and energy...
It might be the worst in all of Trek, not just the original series. Which is really saying something.

Yes, even worse than the series finale of Enterprise.

It's Star Wars Holiday Special levels of torture to watch—but, mercifully, much shorter.

Cat's Paw (another TOS episode) is also in the running.
Does pip support installing that? Can you specify dependencies in `pyproject.toml` to be binaries from GitHub?

Genuinely asking.
Another soft announce of extra-terrestrial life. I predict we'll see more and more of these for the next 2-3 years, and then an announcement of ET life, probably DNA based, on Europa or Io.
I order soda water or whatever so I can participate in toasts and just be part of the group. If anyone questions me — which rarely happens because people understand that someone can have deeply private reasons — I say "I don't drink." If someone questioned me further, "I just don't drink" because my reason is not something I want to share with everyone (probably not the reason you're assuming).

My point is that it's not a big deal socially in my experience.
The site timeouts on me :/.

One guy at Reddit noticed with the nvidia nsight that apparently the cims are drawn without regard to level of detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/17gfq13/the...

Vehicles are handled properly, though.

If the analysis is correct (among some other points risen regarding shadows), then it seem rather a big oversight with fortunately some easy fixes.
This true for other hypervisors too. Enterprises are still paying hundreds of millions to VMware, who knows what's going on in there?

I wouldn't have picked Opensolaris, but it's a lot better than other vendors that are either fully closed source, or thin proprietary wrappers over Linux with spotty coverage and you're not allowed to touch the underlying OS for risk of disrupting the managed product.

I love the idea of humanity expanding out into the cosmos, it feels like space exploration is "the Future." But I can't see how SpaceX's Mars colonization plan makes economic sense in the current day. No matter what technical advances they come up with in getting people to Mars, it doesn't change the fact that it is an inhospitable planet. What unique resources are on Mars that makes it more profitable than say, colonizing the Sahara desert?
Supply chain issues definitely do cause inflation. Don't you remember what happened to car prices when the manufacturers couldn't buy enough chips for them?
Yeah it’s been proven nobody can actually see the difference in anything over -25 frames.
How does this differ from the status quo? I would assume targeted surveillance, without requiring 3rd parties sabotage the security of their products, is already a legal law enforcement procedure?
I checked the IGN review for comparison. IGN reviewer also has an RTX 4090 but plays with a lower 1440p resolution:

> I have a 13900k, 64GB of RAM, and a RTX 4090, playing on a 1440p ultrawide monitor. I got 35fps at the main menu and in game on a brand new map w/o building a single thing. Turning off motion blur and depth field increased this from 35 to 50fps. Not a single other graphics setting changed the performance at all. I turned off every single setting I could or set it to the lowest possible, and still only got 50fps.

How can a game even get to this point? Everyone in the development process must have noticed that it was running poorly. Even if all the developers had the most expensive consumer GPU available, they still would have seen poor performance.
To your first point, I think success at doing something that no human has done before is going to be more memorable to the masses than failure to do something that many people have done before. Hence we remember the first people to land on the moon but we don't remember the 200th astronaut that didn't make it into space cause they died. Regardless, referring back to my original point, it's not the fame of a specific individual that should be the goal in a human mission to Mars. Instead it's a combination of the scientific yields as well as the increased public enthusiasm for science that could make a human mission more valuable than robotic ones. It's very hard to measure the latter but it should not be discounted when considering the value of a human mission.

Regarding your second point, you were the one that said we should spend the same resources of a manned mission on robotic missions. So if it is going to cost $2 trillion dollars for a manned mission we should spend $2 trillion instead on robotic missions. Now it seems you are arguing that we should spend the money elsewhere. If that's your point it is a different discussion.
> That "better/worse" way of wording it places them in competition with each other, regardless of whether you say it explicitly.

Absolutely not. It says that they have tradeoffs, and one will be better in certain situations, while the other will be better in others.

If you think that means competition, you're overreading it.
I'm in the middle of a problem with an item either mid-delivered or not delivered, with unresponsive retailer.

I started a dispute with my credit card company, but yesterday they emailed to tell me that they had "concluded their investigation" and that the item had indeed been delivered.

No further information. Just "it was delivered, you owe the retailer".

Apple Card uses Goldman Sachs for the bank and the customer service. While Apple may be an experienced provider of retail services, this sort of thing is relatively new to Goldman Sachs.

I contacted customer service and they believe that a report regarding the investigation will be sent to me. They might even have a delivery address. The order was placed four months ago...

Good luck getting through a situation like this with good outcome. It depends on all the players involved.

https://www.nasa.gov/podcasts/houston-we-have-a-podcast/arti...

This podcast covers a lot of the status on international studies for artificial gravity.

"Now we did try to fly a centrifuge on station around 2009 or 2010. And again, it was the same international community and we put together an international proposal to do it on station. And it turns out after a lot of hemming and hawing and the U.S. was going to provide the crew and the integration, the Japanese were going to fly it and the Europeans were going to pay for the device and have it built, and flight certified. It turns out that the station really isn’t designed for that much vibration. So instead of just having a person laying there, we were going to have a person with a cycle ergometer that would spin and do the ergometer. And that much vibration was bad for the station and it was decided that you would have to have a very expensive vibration isolation system that the Europeans weren’t willing to pay for to be able to do it. So, we kind of lost the possibility of doing human centrifuge work on station at this time."

So it looks like this is the current issue, and there is a large amount of work going into the physiological side of research to find out exactly what amounts and methods of artificial gravity achieve desired results.
They’re supposedly working on it [1] but I don’t have any sense of whether they’re likely to succeed. In particular, the IRS is beginning to onboard to login.gov and the goal is to be fully migrated away from ID.me at some point.

Yeah, how does it work!?
I believe that for the surface line, but I mainly deal with the O365 folks.
How is there no mention of CPU?

Simulators, especially ones of this size, are usually much more CPU intensive than GPU intensive. So a lot of reviews are obsessive about how beefy their GPU card is, but I suspect a lot of people have "top-heavy" rigs.

I play a lot of simulator games. Most of them are not paragons of optimization (well, except maybe Factorio). But these are not action games so FPS is not really something I personally optimize for and I don't necessarily understand the importance of benchmarking it against, like, Cyberpunk.

I wouldn't be surprised if Paragon's optimization fix will be just to nerf the depth-of-field.
There has been a set of buttons available for a while from a popular aftermarket vendor (https://abstractocean.com/products/s3xy-buttons) that interface through the OBD2 port. There is a good amount of reverse-engineered information out there on Tesla CAN bus messages (e.g. https://github.com/joshwardell/model3dbc).

If you have some coding and electronics experience, it'd pretty much be a matter of gluing some libraries together. Probably easier than gluing the physical buttons to the car.

Also, the puking is always fake as hell. A mouthful of some watery liquid spat out with horrible overacting. Nothing like the real life horror that's a proper five-fold stream of that foul greenish brown mess filled with what was supposed to be your lunch.

Family guy did some hilarious puking scenes back in the day by showing it as horrible as it really is. The Hollywood vomit-lite is just embarrassing at this point.
Apples to apples here -- the 2020 GT Premium was $43,315. So we're still not looking at nearly the same size of increase.

You think the average income is being computed incorrectly? Or that there is just a lot of variance so many people are worse off? It is true that wage increases have been uneven, but they are actually much larger at the low end -- this is why you see the most inflation in low-wage service-heavy categories like restaurants.
I also had the same experience, but not everyone has the same qualms about rejecting other's invitations. I know for a fact that I was considered rude for politely rejecting drinks when I decided against drinking, possibly cultural.
I'm pretty sure that we could not, I guess our opinions cancel each other out.
No, that's a bad analogy. It's more like I borrowed 8% of my annual income this year, and then bought 4% more than last year. If I hadn't borrowed all that money, I wouldn't have been able to buy that much. It's both intuitively obvious and empirically demonstrable that government deficits stimulates economic growth in the immediate term, since most government expenditure happens in the domestic economy.

>> but if I had to choose a country to get ahead in life with the most opportunities possible as an immigrant, US is still the country to be at

I don't understand, these types of comments are relative. Which countries are we comparing? Why the US over another country, for example, Canada? France? Sweden? Japan? Thailand? Have people tried these out (I know people who have!)?

The only reason I can think of Why the US over another place is is the amount of wealth and the amount of land in the US is staggering, and the appeal of that makes people feel wealthy themselves by way of association. It's a glamorous lure.

Or is it because of less government restrictions and oversight? Which has its downsides as well.

I feel, as my primary residence, that the US is a cutthroat place to live. Those that speak well of it usually have been lucky.
> Turning off motion blur and depth field increased this from 35 to 50fps

Whats more, such simple postprocessing filters should not tank FPS so dramatically, even with a severe CPU bottleneck.

That alone is not just unoptimized, its a severe bug.
Considering the game only runs adequately for you on… the best video card for gaming that money can buy…

You can see why the 99% of customers who have much less powerful hardware might consider the situation dire.
> The USA is truly the land of opportunity. More than anywhere else you alone control your own destiny. The USA has also proven time and again that it is more economically resilient than any other economy out there. There are booms and busts, but the recovery from the busts are always strong and do not stagnate for extended periods of time.

It's not limited to economic opportunity. The US also offers people the opportunity to make the US better through our democratic process.
Does teasing and judgement happen often? I live in Vegas where being inebriated is fairly accepted but I can’t think of a time where I’ve been teased or pressured. They may be silently judging but I don’t notice or care.

I think a lot of it has to do with how you turn down a drink. I usually say, “No thanks,” or “I’m good, thanks,” and it rarely goes beyond that. When I hear people respond with, “I don’t drink,” or “I’m not drinking right now/tonight/this month,” that seems to invite discussion.

Everyone’s experiences are different though and I’m painting with a broad brush.

That is a wild claim.

But how many false positives does it have?

Too bad it's not FOSS; I would pay for that is the false positive rate was not too high.
If a static analyzer is sound, which is something that can be mathematically proven (formal method), will find ALL existing issues plus some false positives if it's not complete (which is almost always the case).
Right now.

You just can't be obsessed with the world "Ultra".

My understanding is for batteries lithium is the less tricky one because it doesn't change size during redox reactions. Sodium does and that damages the anode or cathode (can't remember which, don't care).

Yeah and the low production of lithium is due minimal demand historically. It's not like other metals with a large historic demand. Like copper.
How does this offering (and other serverless postgres) do when there is a ton of data and read/write happening? In my case the most data I've dealt with had a few tens of billions of records.

I haven't really worked on small-ish scale things until starting to work on my startup.

I've always depended on managed postgres, and I use Go for all my services. I don't really have any experience using things like Vercel that combine UI + some kind of backend.

Are these technologies meant for use on "large" platforms or are they mainly targeted towards small / hobby SaaS? Would love to know more!
> People who read HN are not the vast majority (thankfully).

I meant the reddit thread I linked. In all such threads I've seen people think that their phone is recording everything they say to show ads, no jokes about it.

Here on HN people know that the phone doesn't do that, since we have people who looked at what code is activated on the phone and what it sends. But regular people doesn't know that, they think they are constantly being monitored and there is nothing to do about it, so all they can do is either stop caring or fall into despair, and most just choose to stop caring.

Smart assistants were a great trick to get people used to the idea that they are constantly being monitored. Makes them less likely to put up a fight when you start monitoring everything for real.
Stripe Will Steal Your Money Beawre
I just want warn everyone, like so many have before about Stripe. They will really and openly steal your money! So we have a legitimate bussniess where we sell products, we signed up with Stripe (BIG MISSATKE) Orders started coming in and we shipped all order with tracking numbers, key word here is tracking numbers. Which shows all order recived, signed and delivered to all customers. First few payout from stripe worked fine, then when it came to 3 big payout from Stripe, they never arrived. They kept saying we should talk to our bank. We talked to our bank who said no money arrived and they cant trace any funds. It should be the sender bank who can trace it. We informed this to stripe, who kept replying we will get back to you as soon as possible to all of our emails. For weeks, while we had no funds or payment. Then when they replied, same story.. they replied talk to your bank! Finally i had enough and asked my bank for statement letter which says no funds recived and that they cannot trace any funds. As soon as i send this letter to them and inform them if they not pay out i will report them. Then all of sudden they say that the payment was failed and returned and i should see this in my stripe account again and i can request payout again. So i did, i requested payout of the "Failed" payment again. And as soon as i did that, they send me email saying that they are closing my account because unauthorized payment and they will refund customer from my funds! I asked which order was unauthorized because we have delivered all order and we have proof. They did not answer us on this one. Only kept replying to all emails, after reviewing your accounts we decided to refund customer from your funds. I asked again and again which order is unauthorized as all order delivered with proof. They did not answer us. So now they have our funds and will not return to us as they will use the funds to refund some imaginary unauthorized order in which they cannot inform me about. So today i have contacted my lawyer and we have filed a complaint with European financial services. DO NOT USE STRIPE!!!

Oh, they noticed. They complained. They said "we need to fix this".

They're trying to say it's not going to be required, and also they don't like it.

Most barcodes today only encode a ~sku (and not a serial number).

I was surprised to see AWS projects at the top of the list. In my experience contributing to anything maintained by them isn't a great time for first timers.
Pick an industry, and do cold email reachout to regular people working in that industry. Offer to pay them 50-100 an hour. Have 100 conversations like that. Then build whatever product you think solves a painpoint

But almost nobody wants that middle ground. That's a tiny, tiny, tiny minority.

I, and everyone I know, wants something that always works, all the time, no matter where they are, that they never have to think about.

Not something that they "have to share in ensuring", not something they need to "set an automation". For almost everyone, external hosting services are a feature rather than a dependency, because homes are subject to fires and natural disasters. And nobody wants to deal with finding a friend across town who will host your backup NAS that you'll set up and periodically maintain.

There's just no market for it from any major consumer company.
