When people think of circuit breakers, I think most people think of the automated things like hystrix / istio circuit breaking.

I feel like those have their place, but in practice are often overkill and they are complex enough that it's hard to keep them loaded in my brain when I rarely think about them. What I find to be more broadly useful is the ability to change things like timeout and retry on the fly. Or other more manual kill switches via dynamic configuration.

When something is on fire and my service is getting overloaded by another service that is crushing it with retries, I can then make a surgical change. Not automatic, but still a good MTTR. I think this is one of the better ways to use what we're building at Prefab.
Not saying I agree with the theory, but if D’Angelo was any but manipulative he would obviously lie and convince them using other reasons. For instance he could claim that he’s worried about alignment, safety, etc.
Thanks! (and well spotted!)

You're right, we had them as per disk instead of as a percentage of disks. The link was also to Bairavasundaram's Latent Sector Error analysis study instead of to their follow-up corruption analysis study (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/fast08/tech/full_papers...), which is what we meant.

I've also clarified whether these are for Enterprise or Nearline HDD. There are other studies also for flash, as well as filesystems, but Bairavasundaram was used here for illustration because of the large scale of the data, as well as the wide variety of faults covered (from LSEs through to corruption) all side by side.

Here's the update:

TigerBeetle recovers correctly from Latent Sector Errors
(e.g. 1.4% of Enterprise HDD disks per year on average)
detects and repairs disk corruption or misdirected I/O
where firmware reads/writes the wrong sector (e.g. 0.466%
of Nearline HDD disks per year on average), and detects
data tampering with hash-chained cryptographic checksums.

Would appreciate if you think we can make this still clearer.

makes sense.

It seems this was a coup of Microsoft together with Altman to go full force ahead with the commercial upscaling.

In the past there was already a small uprising, and all who didn't like the Altman cult ran off to anthropic. So all that's left in openai are huge fans of Altman. So it only makes sense that you piss off almost all remaining employees, its survivor bias at work.
Okay but like what, specifically?
Why they bought popular free platform when they are struggling to maintain it?

Youtube is go-to platform for video publishing because it started as free platform. When they captured this segment of web, they have overloaded it with ads.

I do not expect anyone serving me for free. But it is not bearable when everything and everyone expects you to use these walled gardens.

That might be true, but that's clearly not what OpenAI beleived.
I'm going through a special version of this hell right now at work. I'm updating old Lambdas that are on the node.js 12 runtime.

Some of them have internal dependencies that just _no longer exist_, or aren't compatible with Node past 14.

Meanwhile, all I had to do to update old Python Lambdas was just update the runtime itself.
There are governments taking action against junk food.
Her core accusation is that Sam would always read her bedtime stories (he was almost a decade older) while laying in bed with her, and that sometimes while they were in bed he would cuddle her inappropriately. And that at some point she started asking him not to get in the bed and he ignored her “no” and kept up the nightly ritual.

This seems well within the realm of possibility. She probably does have mental health issues (maybe paranoid schizophrenia), but that could be an effect of the childhood sexual trauma. I had a 40-something-year-old aunt who committed suicide due to being raped as a child. :( Early trauma like that can fuck you up in ways that make you permanently unstable.

Maintainer of tsx here.

tsx should be able to handle Playwright as of v4+, and hopefully the test coverage you're referring to.

Before, it was compiling ESM syntax to CJS as an effort to ease the ecosystem's CJS -> ESM migration, and hiccuping whenever it encountered `eval()`. Now it includes smarter checks to determine if a file needs to be compiled at all and skips processing most dependencies.

Hope it works well for you!

How is Altman a greedy asshole?

He's been at OpenAI since founding date, he's taken zero economic upside in this venture, and he's now being kicked out - what exactly makes him an asshole?
What’s sickening? Musk has provocatively pushed the envelope, again and again, and has courted hate speech. Which isn’t illegal, mind you, but thoroughly unpalatable to companies with decent reputations who cater to most Americans. X is still full of ads, from companies that cater to rightwing audiences.

And remember, this whole lawsuit is to distract from Musk’s outrageous antisemitic tweet that was the reason that many of these companies pulled out in the first place, accusing Jewish people of hating white people and precipitating The Great Replacement against them, real Nazi shit.
Using Vitest bench to track performance regressions in your CI
Even in the US, AFAIK the reason these securities regulations exist is that companies did not disclose information before they were forced through. An efficient theoretical free market requires public information, the SEC exists to enforce that.
Had to log in just to upvote this comment, brought back nostalgia from the Slashdot days of yore.
This isn't completely correct. There is going to be an increase of capacity even without resignalling from 24tph to 27tph. It's also not a low cost thing, the SSLs resignalling cost at least £1.6bn and has been horrendously delayed. While the pic line is less complex than the SSLs, there has been ridiculous cost inflation on all rail projects, so I would not be surprised if it costs a similar amount of money. In comparison the new trains cost £1.5bn so it's basically the same again to resignal the line to ATO.

I also believe the new trains can accelerate faster so new stops are potentially possible. And in theory at least they should be a lot more reliable, even if the signals aren't.

FWIW there was a signals redesign contract for the pic singed in 2022 so I don't think it's never going to happen. Also even before covid it was phased that the new trains and signalling where fairly independent projects.
I tried to use Bun but it doesn't support some low level Node APIs properly, in my case for Playwright. Keeping an eye on it though, what I saw seeemed promising.
Your argumentation against parent is very fluffy.

> Your theory collapses in the slightest amount of scrutiny, if D’Angelo tries to destroy the company due to his own company losing value why would the other 3 board members be on board with that?

The other 3 have their own motives which have been repeated over and over here.
It came to light that there were strong tensions between Helen and Sam as he wanted her to be removed from the board.
Ilya was hurt by Sam over the competing teams fiasco.

I've definitely been looking at GSOC for next year. It looks like a great opportunity. I'll start looking around at organizations now - thanks for the advice!
The board has bylaws governing how it works. One of them says that it has to have 48 hours notice before a meeting (to, e.g. agenda, minutes, resolutions, actions ). I think a board member cannot speak officially before that. We might be an announcement today or tomorrow. Perhaps they have had to have a meeting to get legal advice before an announcement?

I think the board is just being as slow as any board is. But they didn't plan for the somewhat foreseeable response and we are impatient.

This is as charitable as I could think of.

I see (and have participated in) a lot of this "just copy this thing, trust me it works" type of content related to Node and TypeScript.

It makes me wonder why Deno [1] still seems to be such a niche choice. Most of these headaches just go away.

Does anyone here prefer Deno for new projects? And if not, why?

That would be very complex and expensive.

Technically, you could just pump out hot water and pump in some cold water, on every station.

But achieving reliable coupling between the train and any kind of piping system would be complex. Remember, there is electricity involved already and you don't want to mix leaking pipes and electricity.

When you realise you have to do something very reliably on every train stop, on every car a more passive solution like piping cold water through the rock might be cheaper long term.
Google is and has forever been evil, never lose sight of that.

How many multi-ethnic states were created by an outside power, from two or more warring ethnic groups? That was the argument put forth:

You don’t think D’Angelo has a conflict of interest?
tsx v4 was released a couple weeks ago which addressed many incompatibility issues. Hope you have a chance to give it another shot :)
Scalping is a big problem, sure. But in this case, I don't see the problem. Tesla could (and perhaps does?) limit selling 1 or 2 Cybertrucks to each person. Of course you could ask your friends to reserve one for you, but this is a lot of hassle and more involved than buying a lot of toilet paper/oil.
Not to get too conspiracy, but remember where you get your news from: HN, maybe reddit?

Guess which platforms have deep ties to Altman?
I've been curious about using Bun. Could you point to an example of something like Node backend code that's written in TS using Bun?
The story doesn't even describe the escape methods. It's just a barrage of unsunbstantial emotional appeals.
I don't agree or disagree with you; it's too broad a generalization to be useful.

Ethically, I'm worried about Chinese cultural genocide and stagnation, alongside European far-right nationalism and fascist resurgences. I don't think anybody has much of a claim to moral superiority here, much less supremacy.

I'm not worried about AI developments from either. I think AI is the only chance this planet has at actual moral governance. I have more faith in these models than human government.
> "you just cannot expect to win against a superior opponent"

That's a good point to make about AI. Despite all the mess about ChatGPT, for example, the way it writes answers is already above a lot of people. And those person can have jobs that aren't threatened by AI (by now), but in some cases we already have jobs that are in a battle against a superior opponent, without expectation of winning. It's a sad time to be below AI, and every moment we're getting below it.

Usually what happens in fast growing companies is that the high energy founders/employees drive out the low energy counterparts when the pace needs to go up. In OpenAI Sam and team did not do that and surprisingly the reverse happened.
> Sustkever is said to have offered two explanations he purportedly received from the board, according to one of the people familiar. One explanation was that Altman was said to have given two people at OpenAI the same project.

> The other was that Altman allegedly gave two board members different opinions about a member of personnel. An OpenAI spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment.

It must've been wildly infuriating to listen to these insultingly unsatisfactory explanations.
Yes, TS now fully supports ESM so the watch mode works great. I'm not used to using it when working in Node, but other people I work with use it all the time.

There are controls to increase/decrease the atmospheric density as well as sunlight and reflection intensity.

This can of course mean that this is a game changer for stationary storage, because density is not as much a concern.
Getting abused will mess you up in all sorts of ways.

And in any case, someone as rich as Sam Altman letting a close relative live in poverty like that is by itself a pretty damning inditement of his character.

Name aside (feeds, get it?), I think the idea is cool. Your feed becomes a publicly accessible page you can share with anyone or access without having to log in.

There are just two features I would need to use this as a serious feed reader, though:

1. Autodetection of RSS feeds on pages. Some websites, such as YouTube, have feeds with cryptic URLs, so it's annoying to maintain a list of those links. I instead keep a list of YouTube account URLs and let the reader find the corresponding RSS link when I paste it in.

2. Subcategories. With Vore, you would have to create a new account for each collection of feeds in order to separate them.

Did she say that? I didn't notice the bit after "and".

Of course Twitter serves ads to bots. Distinguishing tests from other bots is difficult and a site as big as Twitter will be tested by very many third-party automatic tests. Suppose you run an advertising agency that buys ads on Twitter, perhaps via an intermediary. Why wouldn't you run a regular automatic test to e.g. test how many per cent of the queries for foobar point to pages that serve your foobar campaign? If you do that, you've created a bot that needs to be served the same ads as typical humans.

Full Stack Deep Learning Course
Super Mario RPG is an endearing, perplexing relic
Keep in mind sodium ion and LFP are much safer and don't require nearly as much cooling and management systems as nickel-cobalt chemistries

So at the PACK level of energy density, which is really all that matters, sodium ion and LFP close much of the gap with nickel-cobalt.

So spitballing here, an NMC chemistry at 240 wk/kg at the CELL level will lose about 20+% ore of density per weight for cooling and safety, so that they will be effectively 160 wh/kg at the PACK level.

Most CATL literature has LFP and sodium ion at 90-95% at the pack level with "cell-to-pack" which bypasses modules and other intermediate packaging.

So if 240 wh/kg NMC chemistry is actually 160 wh/kg at PACK level, and this sodium ion is 160 wh/kg but about 150 wh/kg at PACK level, well then you see the real power of these chemistries.

If the pack level 160-180 wh/kg equates to a 400 mile car, then 140-160 wh/kg sodium ion at pack level equates to a 300+ mile car.

300 miles means a really good city car. It means you can probably do a 50-100 mile PHEV car pretty cheap. It means cheap, limit-is-number-of-factories scaling of EV battery supply.

Sodium ion is supposed to be 40$ or less bill of materials per kw-hr compared to 80-100 for NMC and about 50-70 for LFP. And it should probably drop from there in the long run.

It also means that EVs beat ICEs on drivetrain cost, possibly by a significant margin, which might translate to a 4000$ + price difference from an ICE. Combined with theoretically cheaper maintenance and "fuel" costs, this should translate to an EV cost advantage that people simply won't be able to overlook.

Personally I think there should be an overall "carbon externality charge" of $5000 on a new ICE as well, or something that scales with the carbon inefficiency of the vehicle (so a bigass suburban assault vehicle is like $10000).

Also, note that the roadmap for batteries of CATL, a lot like the roadmap for future nodes in semiconductors so take it with a grain of salt as to when they realize the goals, is for 200 wh/kg sodium ion and 240-260 wh/kg LFP. With superior cell-to-pack density, that should mean a 400 mile car for sodium ion, and a 500 mile car for LFP.

Now, hopefully in 5-10 years we get lithium-sulfur and sodium-sulfur that are AT LEAST 50% more dense with similar materials costs. Then you get to shrink the battery to make the EV even cheaper.

So the revolution is coming, in my opinion. And this isn't just a gee-whiz a faster pc for my Overwatch. This is "future survival of humanity in the balance". We NEED to decarbonize transportation, and we NEED cheap batteries for alternative energy grid storage. The development of these technologies is preservation-of-humanity level of importance, and high density sodium ion chemistries are a major major step towards that because of all the economic and practical levels/needs/requirements they meet/exceed.
Oh, so this is exactly like budgeting. It does not matter a lot how much something costs, what matters is where the money came from.

Here we improve the trains to emit less heat and immediately spend it on air conditioning.

Bitcoin mining is all about sustainability. It is a stable source of electricity demand, even during off peak times, thus bitcoin mining sustains electricity demand, encouraging those power plants that would otherwise power down during off peak times to sustain their co2 emissions.

And for a bonus, bitcoin mining supports conservation of energy: if the power plant is down, bitcoin mines will also shut down so that they do not use non-existent energy, thus bitcoin mining is doing good by following the law of conservation of energy.
