The only reasonable price for documentation that already exists is quite frankly zero.

Yeah, I read ... just "wow". I hoped something more affordable, or even something more flexible like "you get the full rack, but you are enabled to use only x % of the capacity for a lower entry price".

What I hate about OAuth is how slow and cumbersome it makes the process across the web. Everything requires login with google for example, but that flow is so slow that it’s what I dread the most of all auth. Especially when I see the page reloading multiple times because it wants so many other things besides just auth.

Hello,

This is a reminder to update your policies to avoid changes to your access to AWS Billing, Cost Management and Account consoles. Our records indicate that you are still using retired actions to access these consoles.

If your policies are not updated with new actions by December 11, 2023, your users’ access to the AWS billing, Cost Management, and Account consoles will be affected.

The policies that need to be updated to include the new fine-grained actions are listed in the “Affected Resources” tab of the AWS Health Dashboard in the “Policy | Policy Name | Policy ARN | Type” format.

To help you with the migration, we have published a mapping between old and new actions in our user guide [1]. If you need to update policies across multiple member accounts in your organization, we have built bulk policy migration scripts to help you update all policies quickly and securely from your management account. See the bulk policy migration scripts user guide [2] for more information. You can find a detailed guide on how and which policies you need to update on our blog [3] and definitions of new IAM actions in Cost Management [4] and Billing [5] user guides.

AWS will not be able to grant further exceptions after December 11, 2023, so we strongly recommend that you act promptly to migrate your policies to new actions.

If you have more questions or need help make updates to your policies, please contact AWS Support [6].

Sincerely,
Amazon Web Services

Not only did they send me this email, they sent me 10 copies - one for each account we have. Pages and pages of documentation, steps to follow, Cloud Formation stacks to create, Python scripts to run, etc. I'm still not completely sure what the problem was or what is supposedly improved, or if I would've actually lost access to anything, but hopefully the emails stop now.

>My main issue with VR is that I only got hooked to Beat Saber.

But that's subjective, no? I personally never got hooked on Beat Saber but instead on 'In Death Unchained'. Like I said, the main problem is marketing. There are great games and experiences out there but probably few know them because there's no hype around them the way there is for Cyberpunk, GTA, CoD and other mainstream AAA franchises that drive insane amounts of money just form preorders of buggy games.
Honestly I want it as a work experience, but the resolution wasn't high enough to be useable when I tried it, and it required too much GPU. I haven't tried the newer generation, but the Vision Pro looks pretty c

lose to what I want from VR. If it can be used with my Steam library, too, it'll be an automatic purchase. Even without, I'm interested, if only to have the nice super-portable multi-monitor display. Not sure I'm $3k interested, but I might be.

s/Swift/Rust/ and you have pretty much my first, last and only Rust experience.

But also, I remember being highly motivated to learn Go and debugged my way all the way through the runtime to memory allocation stuff in order to understand why I accidentally made an endless loop of type conversions that filled RAM.

Learning is hard. Some learning contexts (Swift today on Linux apparently) are harder than others.

I've always thought it logical to integrate RAM & cpu.

Look over the course of history: there's often a roughly-fixed ratio between cpu performance & RAM bandwidth (+ size), and cpu/memory <-> graphics interconnect speed. Any of those factors get too far out of wack, and you've got a machine with poor bang/$.

GPU integration is old now. Ok I've read there's a mismatch between silicon processes used for logic (like cpu/gpu etc) and memory? But hey, this is 2023. Chiplets? Stacked dies? Or just do the best with available tech? It's not like there are no ICs that integrate RAM & compute.

With the right architecture, the "memory wall" could be (mostly) a thing of the past. With enough cores & on-chip RAM bandwidth, maybe specialized gpu processing wouldn't even be needed anymore? For example:

Indeed, which demonstrates that an explicit link to Home in a visible place is never a bad idea. I didn't click on 0xide in the top left even if that's a common shortcut to the home and I didn't notice the link in the footer, which is where you bury the least interesting stuff. I kept clicking on the text links in the top bar.

Even after losing this much, the reported profit for the current qtr is $11 billion. Aswath Damodaran did an analysis of Meta and calculated even if the $100B invested yield 0 in downstream revenue and value it is not impacting valuation of Meta much.

I see no reason to take this bet, it may not be best executed but kind of investment I expect to see from trillion-dollar companies.
A combination of testing with ASAN and MSAN is pretty much always better than valgrind if you have source code. Though MSAN use can be somewhat challenging, as you need to have all dependencies built with MSAN, too.
Yes, that's right, an investment. Am awful investment, that's all (unless it works).
It depends on how many servers you put in a rack. It's been years now I did this kind of work but I would say that an average rack with 20-25U in computing, 5-10 in storage and 5 in networking will cost you 300k$ easily. I'm pretty sure that Oxide will be more an Apple-esque experience, also on the price side, so a "normal" rack giving the same performances will be cheaper but if you want Oxide you are looking for other features beside the pure HW.
My conspiracy theory is Amazon search is intentionally bad to make their ads more valuable.

Impressed that Apple pockets $18 Billion and still mostly protects privacy with reasonable UX choices. Nothing is perfect, but denying Google more data about me is one reason I’ll always stick with iOS over Android and why I’ll ditch my Fitbit when it forces a Google account in 2025.
This has nothing to do with what Google engineers value and everything to do with what management above them values. At Google you don't get promotions or raises for maintaining products, you get them for launching new products. That's the full story of how you get all these deprecations. Google management has been trying it's harded to kill the company for a long time.
Cynically this could be one of those laws that the big producers like Apple have a competitive advantage over smaller companies that do one-off production runs with contract manufacturers.

When you are at the scale of Apple, you could have a whole team designing your right-to-repair compliant processes, and lobbyists to ensure the law as passed is most favorable to your implementation.

It also fits in nicely with Apples general SKU-minimization philosophy (though they've been loosening up there). It is a lot easier to stock parts/manuals/tools for 3 phone SKUs per year which you continue to sell for 2 years than for 25 Samsung Galaxy somethings.
Not only do I have an Android phone, I have a Google Pixel phone and Google Fi is my provider. I don't see Google search integrated at all. Maybe it's there, but if it is, it's not obvious to me. I launch Chrome, which defaults to searching Google, and I use it a lot that way. Other than that, I don't know if it's present. I never search my actual phone via anything like MacOS's Spotlight. I don't even know if my phone has any search capability like that.

I launch apps and use them, that's about it.

You could make a very big, very rough world based on a define set of core ideas and then deliver it to real authors to make it a cohesive and fun background for a new book or movie series, for examples.

Like giving a big marble piece in the rough shape of a human so that real human sculptors can make a suitable statue out of it.

How much you care depends on your role.

As an engineer, an Oxide system works like any other cloud provider. You’re just interacting with its API and tooling like you would with Google Cloud or AWS.

To someone on the IT/Operations side, obviously there are differences but theres SIGNIFICANTLY less labor required to build-out and operate an Oxide system vs a rack full of servers. The biggest difference for these people is that there’s actual hardware vs a Cloud Provider, but also costs are fixed so there’s likely no monthly or quarterly meetings with finance arguing over the cloud bill, tying people up to try and shave a few thousand off the bill every month.

In finance/accounting, Oxide is probably the most different: now compute is CapEx rather than OpEx. Depending on your company’s stage that can be a wonderful thing for the bean counters.
I think I just felt Louis Rossmann faint.
Well, this just goes to show not all elderly are the same. My relatives would love more remotes and hate more strange non physical interfaces. Controlling lights with voice commands vs a (eventually on a remote) button, button wins 100% of the time.

The biggest hurdle seems to be discoverability. A physical remote makes sense, and doesn't change. Buttons have a singular function and context doesn't matter. Apps are different beasts, navigate up/down/forward/backward (thus context (what did you do before, now doing x does y, but otherwise z)) is just met with glazy eyes. Going back and front just makes no sense, why sometimes you need to go to a menu and other times it's a shortcut button, makes no sense, especially when summoning the menu needs special navigation. To add insult to injury, every now and then apps get an overhaul, and suddenly navigation and buttons changed/looked different.

Now when i say apps, i do mean apps on phones/tvs. The windows UI works for them because the basics are the same for all programs, using word or outlook, menu items have text like "send" "save" and while it takes time, functionality is discoverable. But for tv apps the logic is "click up or down until the icon you want has a different hue, then press a button on the remote to do stuff, but only when the screen shows x,not when it shows z". It's too much functionality condensed in too little UI. I'm constantly baffled by design choices for apps that are supposed to be used by everyone, I'm sure it looks nice to designers and devs, but have they even tried showing their brand new TV interface (these are the worst offenders) to an elderly and gave them simple tasks?
Mostly to mimic the data structures allowed in languages where objects are held by reference. In Python, I could write a tree structure as `namedtuple(“node”, [“lhs”, “rhs”])`. If I tried to write a similar structure in Rust as `enum Node{Leaf, Branch(Node, Node)}`, the compiler rightfully complains that it would have an infinite size. But the indirection introduced by Box would let it be stored as `enum Node{Leaf, Branch(Box<Node>, Box<Node>)}`.
Changing the glass on the top of the screen of an iPhone SE (currently trading at 170€ on back market) costs between 90 and 110€ here in France, even if the screen itself is not broken.

I hope we'll gradually see decent alternate compatible parts, with a better self-fixability.

As I understand it, Viagra works by making your blood vessels more sensitive to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels. You can also eat a diet high in nitrates like spinach and beets, to boost nitric oxide levels.
I got downvoted for this very short reaction, so, at the risk of having another downvote(s), I want to make a statement:

With my very laconic reply I wanted in fact to convey my congratulations the Lugg creator for their perservance during the hard beginnings of their startup; plus, I strongly believe that the human level of the aspiring enterpreteneur's life is much more HNish in spirit, than endless discsussions circling around running LLM in the basement (or basement-as-a-service) without apparent customers, and somehow strangely the latter seems to be dominating HN comment space. Thanks for listening.
>Even with a digital dial, I doubt I would take the time to input 12 seconds - I'd just whack the +30 second start and stare at it for 12 seconds.

...which is far easier and more consistent than trying to counting seconds in my head.

It's also more repeatable and transferrable when someone else is cooking the same thing and asks me how long I heated it for.
Yet they never buy pants with pockets and many other kind of practical clothing that would make their life easier. You can't just listen blindly; you need to look at what they do.
Now if you look at the younger generations, you will find some girls wearing that kind of clothing.
But if you look at an elevated level on how things work in society, women derive a lot of their power from how they look, how beautiful they appear to be. As the girls become adult whether conscientiously or not, they internalise this and start to dress in a way that maximise their power.

If they really wanted there is nothing preventing them to wear men pants that are gender neutral. But they don't because they would lose much more than a few pockets. They do not really need them anyway because even the most rugged women will have some sort of handbag.
Because it is one more fashion accessory to show off, because you can carry even more stuff than any pocket would allow and because this way, they don't have to choose between looking beautiful and being able to carry stuff. If anything, women carry around way more stuff than any man could in his pockets.
On the other hand, men handbags are not a thing and not just because of fashion or social pressure, but because they are very likely to be asked to do things that require them to have mostly free movement (like carry stuff, hold doors, fix broken things, etc...). A friend once joked to me that he mostly wore strong jeans because he is highly likely to be asked to go down on his knees to fix whatever his wife (and other women) point at him.

If you look at one subset of men who derive power from looking beautiful/successful like salesmen, they also dress in a way that is not very practical for most daily activities. A suit has pockets, but mostly in name, they are very weak and shallow and leave disgracious bulges from whatever you are carrying that is not a small item like a simple key, forget about putting a modern smartphone in those pockets, it will not last long (in fact I have been scolded by women about how the stuff I was carrying in my suit pockets made me look bad and how I was ruining the suit). They do it, because just like women, they derive a good amount of power from dressing this way. The major difference is that this power exists only during their work so they very rarely dress this way outside of work, the little power advantage they would get in day-to-day life is not worth the trouble (and added cost). Women on the other hand benefit from this power throughout daily life even in their own home in some cases.

It is tiring to always hear about how women are victims of many choices they make themselves; precisely because they are capable of rationality just as well as men (the difference is mostly in usage), and those choices are generally about maximizing their profits.
Funny story: The way my compiler ( https://github.com/neat-lang/neat ) used to build is, three years ago there was an initial minimal compiler that was written in D. And every time you checked out the Neat repo on a new system, it had a file with a list of breaking commits, and it would:

- git clone itself in a subfolder

- git checkout and build the initial D compiler

- install it in a temporary prefix

- git checkout the first breaking commit and build it with the initial compiler

- install it over the previous compiler

- git checkout ...

and so on. In normal operation all these stages would be cached, so before I abandoned this approach, I think I was up to a hundred or so intermediate versions.

Eventually I started doing git releases, which needed a better solution. So since I have an optional C backend, I just build the compiler with the C backend, then zip up all the C files to make the release. Then to bootstrap from it, I just do (effectively) gcc *.c -o build/neat_bootstrap.

edit: Ah, here it is: https://github.com/Neat-Lang/neat/blob/v0.1.6/bootstrap.sh
Sure: SpaceX projects are putting up more space-based telescope capacity than they’re removing from terrestrial capacity, with either no variation or a good variation in the types of capacity (i.e. wavelengths).

It’s actually super straightforward.

The response seems “opposite” what was said because if you read between the lines, the whole comment was about hypothetical future improvements to the cost dynamics.
for an otherwise fairly intelligent forum, there is a lot of dumb on display on this thread. Taxing assets is an extremely bad idea and it doesn't solve the actual dead weight loss to society caused by the oligopolistic corporations the super wealthy own as their primary assets and it primarily harms the up and coming billionaires who are actually doing a great job at inventing and/or capital allocating to grow their wealth (think the elons of the world giving us wonderful new technology like starlink) and won't do very much against the old money families where the people smart enough to grow the fortune are long gone and all that is left is their mostly incompetent offspring living off the oligpolies their ancestors created.

The much better strategy is to go after all the oligopolies and break them up similar to what the USA did pre Rehnquist supreme court (although not quite to the same level, those guys were breaking up small regional gas station chains, for example). This will cause a flourishing of new companies, with new and often better business practices/technology and make us all better off. Taxing assets just makes people invest in less easily tracked assets held in less easily tracked locations if they can (read if they are already billionaires aka mostly incompetent offspring of people that made the fortune) and harms the next round of up and coming (and competent) challengers.
When was the iPhone SE you are using released?

How much does it cost to replace a similar part on an Android phone released the same year?
I think the incentives are very high, so I have no doubt it is possible if the right amount of investment is put to it.
In my case, for apps that only need to authenticate users with AzureAD, I've added the required information to the tokens and called it a day.

I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but I seem to remember that by default, the mozilla-oidc implementation for Django was expecting an userinfo-like endpoint. And I remember wasting an unbelievable amount of time trying to figure how to add information to that endpoint. I've never found anything, I just patched the lib to retrieve the relevant fields from the tokens.
No, and neither does Typescript. One of the biggest weaknesses in Typescript is that it can't validate data across the wire. Which is a major use case for the language.

There are various tools for it already, but the JS ecosystem has always been up for yet another framework.
Seems more objective to me in that the quest has shitty software beyond one or two games. One or two games wont carry a platform very long regardless of marketing. Shitty software hurts the hardware most.
