When you can design space telescopes to be heavier, and they don't cost as much to launch, then you can design them cheaper. If one fails then you can more easily replace it. Initial designs of the James Webb began in 1996 and it didn't launch until 2021 and cost $10 billion. If they could use more off the shelf parts and didn't have so many design constraints it would have been quicker and cheaper.
I think we’re thinking of different kinds of coffee shops here. I’m making an assumption Dunkin is like Tim’s in Canada: they use regular size coffee pots and rotate them extremely quickly to keep the coffee fresh, usually discarding it if it’s > 15 mins old even. Their machines brew a pot in something like two minutes flat, from a commercial machine that has a boiler ensuring that the water is consistently 95 degrees C when it hits the grounds. You can’t get around having the brewing temp being damn close to the serving temp when you have a traffic jam on the road from the drive-thru backlog
It seems that a lot of American traffic engineering is about increasing automobile throughput at the expense of all other factors. Safety, expense, even how economically productive the street is in terms of supporting businesses and housing.
How do you define "source", then?

By this logic any freely downloadable executable software (a.k.a. freeware) is also open source, even though they don't disclose all details on how to build it.

SpaceX said it was more a question of timing. That the water system would take too long and they were hoping to test before it was fit. The first test involved a subset of all the engines so they hoped the concrete would survive.
It's not revisionist history, the wording I chose was meant to acknowledge that there were segments of the industry that did take dependencies seriously. I'm very much aware that the Java world had a much more robust approach to dependencies before this, but "the industry as a whole" includes all the Node shops that were hit by leftpad as well as all the Python and Ruby shops that were using equally lousy dependency management techniques.

Rust chose to follow the majority of languages at the time. Again, as I noted in my previous comment, I'm not defending that decision, just pointing out that most of the widely-used languages in 2014 had a similar setup with similar weaknesses.
You're only being downvoted because of your accuracy.
Good question! There's no single thing, I think, and the things I dislike about it aren't even really technical criticism or the like. They're more... aesthetic? I find the syntax unpleasant, for instance. It's extremely opinionated and a few of those opinions are ones I disagree with.

Also, just generally, it tends to make even simple things pretty complex. I understand why and am not really objecting to that, but it does make using it a bit like running with lead shoes.

I expect that the latter part may get better as I use it more (but perhaps not -- there are other languages I'm fully competent in but dislike for similar reasons).

So why are we to believe statements that GCP is here to stay? They are, after all, statements to customers who need to hear it to make the purchase. But who knows how they actually think?

The whole reason why Google cannot be trusted here is precisely because of their tendency to be inauthentic in their public statements.
I think YRMV depending on what you're trying to do, but I think the DX & web console experience is much more pleasant on GCP.

On GCP, their services are cleanly organized and have distinct icons that tell me what it does with minimal reading. On AWS, often I'm left scratching my head (see https://awsiconquiz.com/)

The web console design on AWS is catching up (for a long time the UI just looked like an offshoot of the e-commerce site design and wasn't very clean) to GCP, but occasionally you still find elements of the old AWS console design.

Often, it seems like AWS has more leaky abstractions that require you to be more aware of all the other connecting components of their infra services.

For example, trying running managed Airflow on AWS/GCP. Both services require some VPC & storage infra setup to get your Airflow container services running. On GCP, you can spin up Cloud Composer without specifying your VPC or storage bucket details and they'll default them for you.

AWS however, you'll need to have your VPC/S3 already setup ahead and if you've not configured your private/public subnets or S3 IAM policy, you can put your Airflow environment into a non-workable state.

Overall, I think GCP has some advantages of not being saddled with legacy baggage that AWS has with making sure their services are interoperable.
When my wife and I moved to Bend, Oregon from Italy, I was really shocked to see how much the city had embraced roundabouts. I hadn't expected to see any in the US, let alone more than 20 of them throughout the city.

Not quite sure what the exact history was, but they realized a few years back that they cost less and work pretty well.
> Floating point math is deterministic.

It is deterministic in a single machine, but it unfortunately is not deterministic across machines (and specially not across architectures)

... however, if you restrict yourself to a subset of floating point, it's straightforward to provide cross-platform determinism. That's what's the Rapier physics engine does

> Scheme might be different here [...]

Yep, I meant to specify that a subset of your original claim is true for all Lisps, not that your claim was not true for certain ones like CL.

> IMO, the useful definition of homoiconicity is "the domain and codomain of eval are the same type".

I do not think that is a useful definition. Under that definition, any language can be made homoiconic by providing a library with an eval procedure that accepts an AST where nodes in the tree could be non syntax objects, and their value is just accepted as-is for evaluation.

The most useful definition of homoiconic IMO is that the internal representation of the language (the AST) is the same as the external representation of the language (the literal text you write). In that sense, CL and Scheme are equally homoiconic, but Python, C, etc. which you could provide an evaluator for with the same domain and codomain types, are not homoiconic.
In what way? I'm not really struggling much with the mechanics or logic of it...

This article makes it sound like traffic lights are more common than roundabouts in the US. In Australia, in most small to mid-sized towns I've been to, roundabouts seem to be much more common than traffic lights. Traffic lights are mostly used in densely populated areas (e.g. town/city centers) because roundabouts take up more space.

If I hand you a beer for free that’s freeware. If I hand you the recipe and instructions to brew the beer that is open source.

We muddy the waters too much lately and call “free” to use things “open source”.
Bizarre that the most accurate take here is greyed out. Absolutely correct.
What a coincidence, I was reading the GNU Mes project's doc today that's very relevant: https://www.gnu.org/software/mes/manual/mes.html
There's reasons why Google projects don't go out on the internet to get their 3rd party deps.

They're all checked into Google3 (or chromium, etc.). One version only. With internal maintainers responsible for bringing it in and multiple people vetting it, and clear ownership over its management. E.g. you don't just get to willy nilly depend on a new version -- if you want to upgrade what's there, you gotta put a ring on it. If you upgrade it, you're likely going to be upgrading it for everyone, and the build system will run through the dependent tests for them all, etc.

And the consequence is more responsible use of third party deps and less sprawling dependency trees and less complexity.

And additional less security concerns as the code is checked in, its license vetted, and build systems are hunting around on the Internet for artifacts.
"... if regulations are created based on ideals, it is regular users who are the ones who suffer."

Preventing climate change is a not an ideal, but a concrete, real, absolutely essential act. It will save far more lives than 'ideals' about automotive safety, such as making sure gas tanks don't explode on impact.

If you want to make a breaking change, yeah - you need to version it somehow. No question. It's fairly flexible in how much you can change without it being breaking, but it's not magic.

Beyond that it's arguably "versionless" because it does nothing to address the problem. Which is essentially fine, and is what most protocols do: you make a completely new API or change the endpoint (e.g. http path) to gradually make breaking changes (expose both, migrate callers whenever), because something like that is basically always an option.
Cloud Run is the only reason to use GCP for me. I haven't seen any product/service that simple to use. It even offers mapping domain names. All my projects run on Cloud Run.
Funny seeing this here. In my above post, I mentioned emailing customers and introducing myself as the founder, which was a trick I picked up from Caviar!
I am curious what kind of code you are writing? Is it very low level or very high?

>I know rust gives memory safety and how important that is, but the ergonomic is really bad. Every time I write some rust I feel limited. I always have to search libraries and how to do things. I cannot just "type the code".

You don't have to search libraries and figure out how to do things in Zig?

Gosh - I've used FreeBSD's package manager, Gentoo, MacPorts, apt-get, ad-hoc bash scripts, brew, nix, and even occasionally manual compilation for package management over the years, and brew is by far the one that's caused me the most pain.

Just in the last year of $DAYJOB I've probably had brew break my dev environment at least three times because I installed a new tool and it auto-updated the others when I did that.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but the others haven't done that to me.

Obviously that's not your experience, and I don't intend to dismiss or demean that.

It's just shocking to me how different our experiences of brew are.

FWIW nix is definitely my favorite packager manager so far. I've been using NixOS on my laptop for about a year, and nix on macOS for package management before that, and it has been shockingly robust. I do not recall a single time a tool I got installed and working via nix has broken on me.

Running a Linux desktop has been kind of disappointing in a lot of ways - while they've improved a lot in the last decade, there are tons of ways macOS and even Windows have superior overall UX.

But for robust package management, nix has been everything I ever dreamed of and then some.

> Is launch capacity the thing that holds back more space-based telescopes

Everything holds back more space-based telescopes - launch capacity, manufacturing capacity, research ideas. But the cheaper launching becomes, the more funding can be devoted to other parts (although something like Amdahl's law will apply), and may even trigger a virtuous cycle where cheaper launches mean you can get away with more standardised, less hardened hardware, which in is then lighter and can be launched more easily, and...

> are those telescopes going to have the same availability to researchers as terrestrial ones?

No, of course not, space telescopes are massively oversubscribed and difficult for even superstar researchers to get time on. That's exactly why we want to launch more of them.
The linked page completely omits that you’re not simply saving money by forgoing technical support; expert accounts are also Single Region instead of auto-replicated. You don’t find out about that detail until you visit the pricing page. Presumably that’s what actually accounts for the reduced price.
requiring signed commits is awesome
The problem with consumer reports is I only need it every once in a while, so it isn't really worth paying a continual subscription for.

What am I missing here? How do you mess this up? Like you redirect to the OAuth provider with a url that has your client_id and ask for a postback and you get it with a code, you use that code plus your app's client_id/secret to get user-creds and then query some API to figure out who just authed. The code is
tied to your client_id/secret. You have to implicitly verify the code you got just to figure out who logged in.
Radio telescopes often are much larger than JWST and/or are interferometric arrays, which in either case remain impractical to deploy to orbit.
Isn't it "pg"? (PG is PostgreSQL).
There's a balance: If you have enough defense to give you first-strike capability (i.e., you could nuke the other side and could destroy their reponse), then it's destabilizing. Other nuclear powers will be very alarmed thinking that you could destroy them at any time.

But you also want to be able to destroy a few rogue missiles, such as from North Korea. If NK nukes Los Angeles, the argument that 'we must adhere 100% to the principle of no missile defense' would be unconvincing.

“The most useful definition of homoiconic IMO is that the internal representation of the language (the AST) is the same as the external representation of the language”

Except this is never true, unless your AST is a string. And Racket’s internal representation (syntax objects) is much more complicated than what is apparent from the text. So, in my opinion, defining homoiconicity in terms of the textual syntax is basically impossible. (And I’m sympathetic to Shriram Krishnamurthi’s claim that homoiconicity doesn’t mean anything).

The interesting property, in my opinion, is that languages like Common Lisp are not specified in terms of the textual syntax and so the textual representation is irrelevant to the semantics of the program: a visual tool that produces lisp forms is as valid a “syntax” of Common Lisp as the standardized textual representation produced by READ.
I live for those moments. I use them to try to hone the skill. It’s almost like a moment of clarity, or saying a word too many times and forget the meaning.
Interesting. I don’t know enough to judge the veracity of this, but it will lead me to learn more, so thanks.

And geology is fascinating, so that’s another reason to learn more.
I've been using three AirTags and two of the cheaper clones mentioned above.
I can activate both about 100m away in the forest, if there is a line of sight.

On the other hand, i can walk an entire day through the forest (with some other people around every now and then) without a single position update from the tag.
What was the model/brand you went with?
What you're basically saying is "the model as trained can't do well at this task, so let's use our own cognitive skills to help it."

That's a problem for comparative benchmarking, right? You're no longer testing the model; you're testing the model in tandem with the prompt engineer. This raises several big questions:

1) How do you know that the engineer's knowledge of the "correct" answer isn't being subtly encoded in the prompt? Essentially the Clever Hans phenomenon.

2) If you want this to be a fair game, how do you give precisely the same kind of advantage to whatever you're benchmarking the LLM against?

3) Last but not least, if you're not going to throw in your prompt engineer for free with the product, will your results be reproducible by your customers?

To be clear, I don't think there's some cosmically objective way of doing this. If you're using prompts written for humans, you're already putting the computer at a disadvantage. But at the very least, you're measuring something meaningful: how will the model behave in the real world.
oh thank god I first read Jira...
Ask HN: Why isn't there a database of ontologies?
A bank statement, a sales order an invoice and numerous other entities can be pretty much distilled into some sort of ontology.

I have bumped into some attempts but they seem pretty much abandoned.

Why hasn't something like this come to fruition?
Yeah we’ve had one too. Actually no two. Wait three. Actually I’ve lost count. In the 6 years I’ve been using GCP we’ve had a new rep practically every quarter. It’s ridiculous.

Peculiar as to why this is pitched at farmers. Maybe there could be a question of ulterior motives.
I don't think they should optimize based solely on table access. What the function does matters as well. Now the optimizer either does not know what the function does(it could be modifying rows, who knows?) or, in the specific case of random() it is intentionally different every single call. The only sane thing to do in this case is avoid moving it around trying to optimize it.

Now if you could mark a function as "pure", that is, it's outputs are strictly dependent on it's inputs, the optimizer would be free to, well, optimize it's location.

I think this is what postgres is trying to do with it's function volatility syntax(volatile, stable, immutable) one of the examples in the article, cockroachdb, has inherited this syntax. but they either drew a different conclusion as to what it means, or they ignore it.
There's a good chance that the China-pessimists will be proven wrong, just as they have been every time they've predicted their collapse. It's baseless rumors, no different from people predicting that there's always a recession around the corner in the US.

You just conflated homemade booby traps with stealing data, my guy. I am under zero obligation to ensure that my works are compatible with your models. They have the obligation to ask. I don't have the obligation to seek them out to give consent.

But I'll humor you. Let's assume that they sue me. Know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to sue them for the value of their entire corporation for stealing my work.
I wouldn't believe anything they say. Just look at the numbers. They aren't going to walk away from a business doing about $35 billion per year run rate, growing at 20%+. It isn't in their interest to do so.
"Next.js is eating React" and "Independence" are definitely two sections where I massively agree. I don't like Vercel, they seem... subtlely villainous. Hearing how much of a pain it was to maintain Next support for Netlify, and personal experience trying to work with Next on Cloudflare is kinda shitty, yet it works perfectly on Vercel.

Kinda scared what that means for Astro, having Vercel as their primary hosting partner, hope they don't get bribed into poor choices.
