Close to 10 years ago, I bought a "new" hard drive on Amazon. When I got it, I happened to notice some suspicious signs of wear, like corrosion on the PCB from someone's greasy fingerprint. I dive into the SMART stats and it's completely zeroed. Not quite what I'd expect from a new drive.

So then I start scanning the drive. The partition table was deleted, but it was full of data, most of it encrypted. It was also badly fragmented, so it was likely in some type of array. What I could recover in cleartext implied that it had been spun up for thousands of hours, in a Backblaze datacenter. It wasn't conclusive enough to go to Backblaze about it, so I just returned it to Amazon. I probably did a zero pass on it first, can't remember.

Encrypted or no, if that was a backblaze drive, they were disposing of drives with customer data still on them. I'm not surprised someone tried to pass it off as new on Amazon, that scam is old hat. I was very shocked to see the data still intact though.
This is not a valid Show HN - you have to have something more than a signup list for people to try out. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

I appreciate that you have a demo of the project working on one video, but the title claims that people can try it on their own, and for that the web page seems to just be collecting signups. Most likely it would be best to do a Show HN once it's working in a form people can try directly.

(I've taken "Show HN" out of the title now.)
Thanks! Well flask, streamlit, plotly, opencv, docker, a trained object detection model (Faster RCNN or YOLO, there is not much difference). Google Cloud Run, some storage services on GCP, full python, react for front-end, and that's all.
But definitely only remove them for powers of two days, because... geek cred.
I wonder which MCEs are being taken when this is triggered?
I’ve had the same experience. Moreover, had to deal with some questionable code from colleagues which looked fine during reviews but as soon as you use it within context the control flow is totally out of whack resulting in by the weirdest debugging sessions. Not cool
The Wind Rises makes me cry every time. It resonates with me in specific personal ways, however.
See page three, table 1 of the paper. The model has 48 2D fields, on a grid, where the grid is a spherical thing wrapped around the surface of the Earth.

There is not what I would call a 3D spherical coordinate system. There’s no field f defined as f(theta, phi, r) — ther are 48 fields that are functions of theta and phi.
Yikes, after completed three steps I was asked for my email. No to your bait and switch, thanks!

>gains relative to Capital owners

I think "progress" without further qualification must be understood to mean progress in absolute terms, not progress of one arbitrary subset relative to another. A society in which everything gets 2x better for left-handed people and 20x better for right-handed people has progressed materially despite the increase in inequality. (Inequality has its own downsides, but I consider those secondary to differences in absolute quality of life -- interested in any cases you can think of where there's a strong argument to the contrary.)

>under pressure from external threats

I think it's misleading to suggest that capitalist countries do not experience such threats, or experience them to a lesser degree. If you accept that all nations are constantly under pressure from external threats, the fact that the USSR was too is not an explanation for the authoritarianism that arose there.

If it helps at all, I certainly don't consider capitalism a perfect system. The Industrial Revolution created the working class and made its members' quality of life dramatically worse in absolute terms for at least a century, but the benefits we have today are too enormous to ignore.

> Like in your wiki example, if A falls, now you don't have A B C D E F... well, the whole alphabet is gone :)

Its far more likely for random individuals of a webring to disappear in my experience.

Ex: A could be the starting point of the webring. When C disappears, then D, E, and F are inaccessible. (A -> B -> Broken page).

A wiki is a single point of failure: you make A more reliable so that everyone has the information. A webring is an infinite number of single points of failure: a single failure (broken link / 404, etc. etc.) messes the entire ring up. Its horrible.
It is nothing like Web Forms (I've built dozens of Web Forms and Blazor apps so I know), and WASM is just one delivery vehicle for it. You can also render it server side or locally in-process in a full .net runtime (no WASM needed). The debuggability for the WASM runtime has improved alot as well since .net 7.

his 'you are reading the wrong dictionary' on his blog is also good
Great idea, and worth mentioning!

Every day I talk to random people. Eat breakfast at a lunch counter and greet anybody who sits nearby. Last one was a medical student, asked if he knew my daughter-in-law, he remembered her! She's on to Residency now; he's doing some rounds or something, he wasn't clear, but it was his day off(!) and he planned to slack, take a walk, anything but be in the hospital.

I know all the staff at the diner by name, and something about their lives. I've seen Steven's brother's wedding pictures, know about Izzy's poor puppy and his problems. Stephanie is looking for work in marketing management. Madison has been working the family restaurant business since she was four!

The grocery-store mention works for me too. I say something about whatever folks have going on. "Wow you buy healthier stuff than me!" is a good start, even if it isn't true. Or "You must be shopping for a crew!" gets a good response - everybody like to talk about their kids. Or even "Wow it's raining cats and dogs!" and suchlike.

I endorse this idea, that we're all passengers on this trip and should get to know our nearby voyagers if at all possible.

You could have made that exact argument wherever Hunter Biden would turn up. It's a cheap shot at best and given that the 'rabid right' can't let go of it it's getting more than a bit annoying. Focus on the stuff that matters, Hunter Biden isn't it.
I can (usually) manage self-checkout at a grocery store, but I find self-service kiosks for ordering fast food to be paralyzing.

There's no way to ask questions. It's not always clear what's on the ingredients list, or how big a particular menu item is, or if a side of rice/bread is included. If I want to ask them not to put something on an order, or to add something extra, I have to go through the entire workflow and then sometimes backtrack. I'm semi-regularly surprised by what I get, and they also usually don't accept cash. The instructions for how to pick up an order and what identifying information to provide are also often unclear.

Sure, I sometimes get something slightly different from what I wanted when I order from a human, but I usually get something at least close. I think I've had a serious mix-up once in my entire life, when ordering in German from someone else who spoke German as a second language. Even then, the server looked confused and double-checked, it was only my own stubbornness regarding my language proficiency that caused a problem.
Yes. I even quoted it.
I did NaNoWriMo in 2010 and it was a great experience and produced a not very good genre novel about the first sentient AI’s inability to deal with humans and how the human race survived the biotech apocalypse.

Good luck.

You're not making any sense.
Agreed, the JVM's thresholds for method compilation is higher than the test strategy seemed to account for.

Also, quoting from the site:

TruffleRuby eventually outperforms the other JITs, but it takes about two minutes to do so. It is also initially quite a bit slower than the CRuby interpreter, taking over 110 seconds to catch up to the interpreter’s speed. This would be problematic in a production context such as Shopify’s, because it can lead to much slower response times for some customers, which could translate into lost business.

There's always ways around that, for example pushing artificial traffic at a node as part of a deployment process, prior to exposing it to customers. I've known places that have opted for that approach, because it made the best sense for them. The initial latency hit of JIT warm-up wasn't a good fit for their needs, while every other aspect of using a JIT'd language was.

As ever, depends on the trade-off if it's worth the extra work to do that. e.g. if I could see after 5-10 minutes that TruffleRuby was, say, 25% faster than YJIT, then that extra engineering effort may be the right choice.

edit: Some folks throw traffic at nodes before exposing them to customers to ensure that their caches are warm, too. It's not necessarily something limited to JIT'd languages/runtimes.
Yeah, DDG in my personal experience stinks. I've tried it several times over the past couple of years, and it always gives midgrade results (at best).

Maybe I've just trained myself to phrase questions that return better results on Google than other sites, I don't know.

I do know that I have never, ever gotten a result from DDG that meets or exceeds the same Google search.
Is that really needed? You can use VBA to do all the heavy lifting. That's what we do here: https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdLambda....
Curiously I've had different experiences with automation. When Burger King started with it, they'd punch in your order (hopefully correctly) then print it and post it where the kitchen could see it. Then read it out over a loudspeaker in the kitchen.

The cooks would do whatever back there, put it in a bag and staple some random receipt to the bag. You'd get (some) bag with some receipt and probably not your order.

In a group of five or six, routinely three of us had to go back and get it fixed. It was a standing joke.

So automation has to be done right or it's just another chance to introduce noise in the signal.
I also think both eink and oled will make its way into fashion among a subculture of younger people, people who live wear, avatars.

Poker is my favorite turn-based strategy game and I play it very often. That said, it’s extremely time-consuming, and, while it can be profitable, not extremely so unless you are 99th percentile. For most profitable players, it’s nice money usually but never anything lifechanging. Part of the problem is that it takes huge amounts of time to accomplish anything; most of poker is waiting (and knowing when more waiting is warranted).

It’s much, much better as a hobby than a job.

Software is a much better gig, with much higher returns in your late-stage career (as the author notes well in TFA). If you are really good at software (but still well below 99th percentile good) you can still earn lifechanging money.

Corps have a dev environment sitting right in Excel that doesn't need special (management, management's management, adding to a registrar of projects, budgeting or project manager assigned, etc) approval for non-stock software.

From that end-user direction, solutions emerge. And they're in VBA.

Every measurement has inherent errors in it - and those errors are large if the task is to measure the location and velocity of every molecule in the atmosphere.

You also need to measure the exact amount of solar radiation before it hits these molecules (which is impossible, so we assume this is constant depending on latitude and time)

These errors compound (the butterfly effect) which is why we can't get perfect predictions.

This is a limit inherent in physical systems because of physics, not really a data problem.

If you click on that kind of shit, of course youtube is going to show you more. I don't know how people think youtube works but it seems like it should be obvious. If you click on nonsense "ironically" just to laugh at it, youtube doesn't know that and is going to show you more. Even if you dislike and "don't recommend" the video/channel, youtube doesn't know why you disliked it. Maybe you disliked it because the video said the aliens are from Venus but you know they're actually from Alpha Centauri. Youtube doesn't know why you disliked it, all they know is that you clicked on it in the first place, so they'll try to find more to show you.

All I click on is videos about ships, airplanes and trains. That's all youtube recommends to me. No wacky shit in my recommendations because I never click on anything even remotely wacky, not even just to laugh at it. Youtube is a mirror that reflects your viewing habits back at you.

I’ve been using Linux since a version of Slackware I installed off floppy disks. I remember trying apt for the first time and thinking it was an absolute revolution. The best thing since sliced bread. I haven’t tried arch but for what it’s worth, gentoo gets the source thing right. You can see the source of anything on your system with 1 command. And better yet, it all builds. There’s no stupid -dev version of packages like there is in apt (that drives me nuts). I’ve still never submitted a package to any package manager - and maybe you’re right. Maybe I should.

I’m upset by all of this because I want apt and arch and all the rest to be better. But as far as I can tell, apt hasn’t improved in decades. And now docker (which I hate even more) has come along and solved a bunch of apt’s problems for it by making something even uglier on top. What I want is a package manager with these features:

- Reproducible, hermetic environments (nix)

- Local dependency installation (nix, docker, cargo, npm)

- Cross-platform packages (docker, cargo, npm. Nix is trying but not there yet)

- Cross language packages (nix, apt, docker)

- Feature flags (cargo)

- Support for the same package to be depended on at multiple different versions in the dependency tree (cargo, npm)

- Semver API compatibility checks (nobody does this, but Cargo is working on it.)

- Simple, cross platform publishing. None of this “here’s how you install it on a few Linux flavours we got working manually”. I don’t want to have to play a guessing game of which distributions package which dependencies and what they call them. (Cargo and docker do a good job of this)

- Support for binaries and libraries (apt, cargo, npm, nix. Basically everything but docker.)

- I can just take a random project on github and run it reliably without spending hours pissfarting around first. (Cargo, npm. Apt gets negative points because software packaged with apt breaks so often on newer Ubuntu / Debian distributions.)

I can’t speak for arch but apt doesn’t cut the mustard any more. I wish it did. But it doesn’t. And no amount of “just work around it by manually submitting more packages to this one distribution specific package manager” will satisfy me. I change computer and Linux distribution all the time. I want something that works reliably everywhere. The other day I ran some rust code I wrote on FreeBSD. There are about 100 transitive dependencies, and I bet almost none of them test on FreeBSD. But it doesn’t matter. Once I had rust installed, I checked out the project and ran cargo test. Everything built and worked perfectly. That is how good life is with cargo. Or docker or npm. Or even Python once you get your head around conda or venv.

It’s 2023 and that’s table stakes for a package manager. Distribution specific package managers need to keep up because they don’t pass muster any more.
