Thanks for confirming - basically my fear is that if ad blocking continues to grow, it’ll lead to an even bigger moat for YouTube because Google will be able to tell advertisers they have the resources to do it but self-hosting won’t. Whether or not that’s actually true, I’d expect them to find a receptive audience.

Meh, it wasn't so clearcut. You have to remember that Hussein himself deliberately encouraged the belief that he had chemical weapons (perhaps thinking it would be a deterrent) and that he did, in fact, use chemical weapons against the Kurds in previous years.

The information was bad, but it certainly wasn't clear to an 8 year old and probably wasn't even clear to Bush & Co. Given the incredible effort that the US military spent trying to hunt down WMDs after the war, it's clear the belief was genuine. That doesn't make their decisions good, but it makes them somewhat understandable.

I was 30 when the Iraq war started. I had mixed feelings then and to be honest, I still have mixed feelings. I cry not one single tear for Saddam Hussein, though the population of Iraq deserved a better outcome.

There's something weird-but-interesting (or interesting-but-weird, if you prefer!) going on here...

The following image, while not the best representation, alludes to it...

https://web.archive.org/web/20231027215551im_/https://kavi.s...

Basically, the way I conceptualize it, is as follows:

Given two simple magnets (A and C) in motion, approaching one another's proximity, but not on the same plane so as to cause impact, as might be the case inside of an electric motor -- the magnetic flux will swing in normal predictable ways...

Nothing to see there...

But given four (or more) magnets, A, B, C, D -- where A and B are close to one another and fixed in position and cannot move relative to one another, but both of them can move as a group, relative to magnets C and D (who are also similarly fixed in position near one another, and can't move relative to one another, but both C and D can move as a group, relative to the position of A and B)...

Well, given all of that, there would seem to be some magnetic arrangements of A and B (and C and D) -- where the fields generated by the combined orientation of A and B -- will swing wildly when approached (and subsequently receded by) C and D...

These magnetic arrangements, orientations, of 4 magnets or more, with sets of two being fixed in position -- could be worth exploring -- based on the wild field swings they could potentially produce...

Applications?

Well, I don't as-of-yet know! But the future, I'm sure -- might invent some!

For now however -- it might make for some interesting, purely curiosity-driven explorations!

I'm not the original poster but with default config logs are worse with docker. Running `docker exec` to check the /var/log in a container is pointless, application writes to stdout. So you do `docker logs`

And by default logs are stored in a json format in a single file per container, grepping `docker logs` feels slower than grepping a file. And the option to read logs for n last hours is incredibly slow -- I think it reads file from the beginning until it reaches the desired timestamp

I disagree. Google's entire advertising business depends on them being the best at "organising the world's information". (Apple says Google is the best, so it must be true, right? :)

If Google fails to compete in AI, they will lose search and some competitor will siphon off all their advertisig revenue.

This is all coinciding with regulators taking a closer look at all the other ways in which Google protects its search monopoly. You know, the ones that are not so much based on merit.

Google is at risk of losing both its technology leadership and its grip on distribution channels at the same time.
Their ads business is pretty minimal and is much smaller than their hardware business.

They sell ads in their App Store in the search results and some listings. They also sell regular display ads in the News app which does not have a massive following.
I think in the internet age we can do better than "according to a Gaza health ministry spokesman". Linking to original sources should be the standard. Almost everything is online. I think exceptions for things like anonymous sources is reasonable, but then explicitly saying "from an anonymous source" is best.

Agreed it probably shouldn't be governement based, there's too much of a potential conflict of interest. But since the standards can be externally validated (don't require going into the org like with health inspections), I think it can be an independent third party.

I wouldn't go so far as to say news organizations are inherently untrustworthy. I'm sure many are and there are a lot of competing motivations, but many are genuinely trying to provide good information. It's a difficult problem of balancing those motivations, and I think the new motivation of "the way we make money is by having articles that go viral so ads get more eye balls" has introduced a new dent into that balance. Having a set of standards and then "rating" news organizations should help give organisations a path to improve their services, as well as help readers evaluate how much they should trust a paper.

I agree that "rsync --archive" ought to preserve extended attributes, same with creating a tarball. But when copying a file, as opposed to creating a backup/archive, I don't think extended attributes should be included by default.

And yes I've also had to compile custom versions of rsync at one point to get a version which understood extended attributes on Mac, but I think that's mostly standardized now.

EDIT: Also most programs don't even preserve permissions/ACLs on copy, so not sure why they'd preserve attributes by default.
I know of at least one operation that happened in SW DC where some small-time Bitcoin mining hucksters managed to set up a bunch of rigs in a handful of low-income-area apartment blocks (Syphax Gardens area). not sure if the units rhemselves were low income or not but the entire building group was set up to meter electricity and cooling as a whole rather than by unit. So they paid (possibly subsidized) rent for a cheap, fire hazard "data center" space and got free electricity and cooling out of it for at least a year before people figured out what they were up to.

How on earth the neighbors ignored the maddening fan noise of those things ( there are a couple in the data center space I lease from, and you can hear the single rack that they occupy from several aisles away, far louder than all of the industrial grade servers and hardware installed all around them) I cannot imagine, but the miners probably couldn't run that many rigs given the perhaps 50A or 100A total available to each unit.

Ah, i wondered what it was sensing.
It mentions Internet Archive:

> The Internet Archive hosts millions of digital videos, audio recordings, images, books and old software programs, and LibriVox hosts public domain audiobooks.

But if you want a reading focused experience, with to-read lists and integrations with Librivox and Standard Ebooks, then you might want to check out their sister project Open Library rather than go direct to the Archive.

As a counter-counter point, I hear your sentiment a lot, I work for 22 years in the profession now -- and I am a fairly average programmer so I don't claim any credentials or anything.

...And I've never seen your sentiment work. Nobody is really learning anything, people just want to tinker with stuff and never read history or even best practices. All I see are people going in circles forever.

Maybe there's a smaller percentage of much clever programmers out there. I wouldn't know because I never (so far) attempted to do anything beyond web apps (though I do regret that a lot and might yet change it). And maybe these people are truly evolving the art. I mean we have Golang, Rust, WASM, and others so I know these people exist.

But somehow that almost never penetrates the broader programming community. Maybe Rust is the only true example because people started wanting to have sum types in their day-job languages -- which I view as a good thing. Such sentiments have the potential to gain enough critical mass to have language designers reconsider their initial choices (f.ex. Elixir is working on an optional type checker, one that's stricter and more descriptive and correct than the one coming with Erlang).

So I don't know. I wish you are correct but after 22 years in the sidelines the only true improvements I've seen are Elixir / Golang (in terms of transparent parallelism where Elixir wins over Golang but Golang is still much better than almost everything else out there as well) and Rust (for the aforementioned compile-time guarantees and other ones like memory safety).

Outside of that though? Nope. "Hey let's have one more JS framework, we didn't have a new one this month" is something I've seen a lot of, not to mention the eternally growing list LISP interpreters because apparently that's the peak of our collective intelligence and ambition. :(

I just get sad. HN is a place where a supposed intellectual elite gathers but they don't seem to be interested in anything beyond their pet language that will never have even 1% of the goodness that a much-derided language like Golang has. And I view that as a waste of energy and time, and as a very sad thing in general.

You are implying that JavaScript runtimes would be the users of WinterJS. That has me even more confused.
I don't think of myself as a techo optimist, but mostly because I'm a politico pessimist. And some technologies are very problematic in the hands of bastards.

But I do think the issue of energy is mostly solved technically. And likely doesn't have the same problematic geopolitical issues oil and gas does. It's a big task to roll it out, but the momentum is there.

Also we basically solved the issue with exponential population growth via urbanization, birth control and reducing childhood mortality. That last two turned out to be exceptionally cheap. Snide comment, who knew women didn't want to be pregnant, breast feeding, and changing diapers for 20 years straight.

That leaves a lot of other things,

Legacy geopolitical stuff. Problems with authoritarian leaders. That 1/3 of humanity isn't particularly sane. These aren't tech problems.

Problems with sustainable agriculture and that we are using up resources over a few generations that took geologic time to collect.

I think it's important to not dismiss the issues we face. And equally important not to be despondent and give up. Because that's the worst thing we can do.
Thanks, James for your insights.

Your library looks nice.

You are right some computer vision systems do have real-time requirements and do need to be run on the edge. It is in the current roadmap of Datasaurus. I would like to capture logs of API calls and foundational model responses so that they can be later used as training data for smaller models.

This is how I learn mathematics – mostly because I'm empirically incapable of doing otherwise. I will achieve a lower grade than I “could”, and miss out on many opportunities as a result.
I suspect they’re covered under fair use (for now) but also nobody cares because the larger models are the ones that get used by people who would care enough to be upset about it.

It's a lot easier to see if you imagine i to be a symbol R that rotates vectors in the plane, since e^(i ɸ) = cos ɸ + i sin ɸ doesn't use the additive property of i at all.

(Well... I guess it does in a sense, because all it means to be additive is that it's linear, so you can add up all the complex-valued terms in e^(i ɸ) and give their coefficients the name sin().)

Figuring out what e^(iɸ) means requires figuring out "What `i` is" and "What e^x means on non-numbers" at the same time. That is, it requires you to perform two intellectual jumps at once instead of one at a time. No wonder it is so confusing.

If these concepts are made sufficiently simple, I imagine that we could live in a world where we also teach e^(a d/dx) f(x) = f(x + a) in high school.
Or maybe it would just be decommercialized? People did stuff online for fun and wrote things before it was all about money. I wouldn't mind going back to those times.
I mean that people over-fixate on syntax or language quirks, but when you start writing for (and deploying for) production then it turns out that many others things are much more important. And I wish people were more practical in our area and they are often not, they are like kids who only want to play even.

And even though I am eating down votes I will keep saying it: fangirling over LISP I view as a collective drag and to the detriment of the entire programming area.

Obviously I am not a world dictator saying what should people spend their time on. I am saying that if you want to truly move the art forward, well, we have 5000 other problems that are at least 100x more important than "oh look I can code a basic LISP interpreter".

My opinion, obviously, but it's also one that I would not be easily dissuaded from.
