It redirected a potentially apocalyptic cold war into the peaceful development of fundamental science and new technologies - and into a project which unified all peoples in newfound understanding of ourselves as a single species, miraculously clinging to single pale blue dot.

I came here to tell you why people use password managers. Turns out your real question is why people use remote backup password manager services.

I honestly don't know. Keepass + syncthing is really fantastic and very secure. I guess some people have bought into this "services are convenient" narrative, which I don't really think is true at all. There's nothing convenient about finding out that your password database has leaked online, verifying your new machine with SMS 2fa, doing everything in a browser in a web app. Having a file in a directory that's just always there and up to date is convenient, adding a new syncthing directory pair when you get a new machine and then being able to forget about it after that is convenient.

I took a quick look through the docs and from what I understand you can just submit docker containers to be run on a cluster. The default one is a public cluster. In some way it seems similar to Google Borg.

What I don't understand though is do you have to pay? Who provides the compute?

Maybe possible to build a vercel type service on top of the private cluster where people can just submit their code?

Yes. I was hired during COVID and the recruiters kept telling me that the job will be remote forever. They also told current employees that they can feel free to move and work remotely and to let them know if they change states for tax reasons.

The obvious reason here is jaq makes some changes to semantics, changes which would be rejected by jq.

Another likely reason is that it seems a motivation for jaq is improving the performance of jq. Any low-hanging fruit there in the jq implementation was likely handled a long time ago, so improving this in jq is likely to be hard. Writing a brand new implementation allows for trying out different ways of implementing the same functionality, and using a different language known for its performance helps too.

Using a language like Rust also helps with the goal of ensuring correctness and safety.
Ask HN: Is the smartwatch the future of AI-native devices?
Humane is betting on the AI Pin, Rewind and Tab are betting on necklaces, etc.

In my opinion, a smartwatch would be awesome as the form factor for an "AI Partner." Glasses would also be cool, but I think it's hard to make humans want to have something on their faces for extended periods of time.

I believe that in the future, everyone will have their own personal AI, similar to how everyone has their own personal computer. The question is, what form factor makes the most sense for an "AI Partner"?

What do you think? I'm curious to hear your opinions.

I agree there is some vagueness here, but the number of options isn’t mandated. The only mandate is the for people to be able to avoid tracking. FB is free to only have 1 option advertising supported without tracking, or 1 option paid without tracking.

So, you actually admit that your viewpoint is clearly corrupted by communism! No matter how much you say you hate it, it is bound to leave marks in how you think.

So now that we have determined that I was actually spot on and that it wasn't an insult at all, we can deal with your insult; ironically you accuse me of insulting you and in the same sentence call me a primitive. Then you follow with insults on spoiled westen kid, yet you have no clue how much I had to work in my youth nor have any idea of how much collectivism I had to suffer. It turns out you do not need to live in a fully declared communist country to have a similar experience but since you do not want to understand and instead let your emotions talk, you cannot make that realization.

If there is primitive behavior in this conversation, it is you unable to handle the emotions caused by the truth.

I am sorry you were hurt by my words but it doesn't seem like you are still defending communist ideals even though you are out of it. Not surprising, Stockholm syndrome and all that...
Well said, and there's certainly a dearth of hospitality today. Surely that's true of all times, I realize, but through the ebb and flow of thoughtfulness and kindness it seems the West is at something of a local minimum (depending on where you live, of course).

I agree it’s disappointing that a publication like National Geographic doesn’t highlight that the photo is manipulated, even if it is a non-digital retouching job.

As to how it happened, considering the image has obvious brush or pen strokes in many places, my bet is that’s all it is. The photo was overexposed and details were blown out in the highlights. Someone tried to add it back, resulting in these strange distorted faces. It did look like upscaling artifacts to me at first, but then you wouldn’t have crisp legible text in the same photo. Still, photo manipulation is photo manipulation, and the reasonable doubt in this discussion is a good example of why it should have been pointed out from the beginning.

Indeed, I'm not changing your mind and won't try. Whether the effects are good or bad are a matter of opinion and debatable.

The basic math of who pays or doesn't pay or can't pay is just numbers though, I'm confused why that can be seen as debatable. They are what they are. If a low-income person can't pay their property taxes because the cash flow does not exist for them, they're out of their house. You think that's good, I think that's cruel. But either way, it is a fact.

> Again, for the last time... the people "sent off" have become literal millionaires in some of the highest percentiles of net worth in the nation.

It does not matter. Uprooting old people from their lifelong homes and sending them off to some other cheap city is very traumatic. There is research on the mental health problems caused by having to move in old age. Let alone having to move forcibly due to taxes.

Note that it is only old people who would get hurt, since it takes many decades of growth under same ownership for the Prop 13 valuation to become significantly different from market valuation, so any people in that circumstance are going to be pretty old.

> Prop 13 is literally designed to help rich people... not poor people.

This is again factually false. If Prop 13 were to disappear overnight, rich people whould whine but they can absorb the increase and keep living in their house so they'll be fine.

It's only the poor people who would get displaced. This is basic math (if taxes > income --> displaced) so it's not debatable.

Not interested in EV flamery. My point was economic: clearly EVs are a very large new market segment, and Japanese brands aren't competing there at all. That's bad, if your business is to sell cars.

It's really bad if you have a sub-brand, like "Hybrids", which has been completely decimated by the (again very real, even if you don't think anyone in Edmonton should buy them) move to electric devices in the market.

Basically: 8 years ago Toyota owned the "ecologically sensitive car buyer" market. And now you might as well flush the Prius brand in the toilet, no one wants them and selling them as "green" relative to a Tesla is a joke.

> But it's mostly dictated by overarching decisions that constrain both how it runs and how it's made (AKA, outside somewhere).

While annoying, there's often a good reason behind those if you can drill down to the engineers that asked for that rule.

Just as an example, it's easy to provide a single HA solution at the infrastructure tier... provided the infra people can make a few assumptions about your app (stateless, can handle multiple copies running at once, etc). It's virtually impossible to build HA that makes no assumptions, and it's incredibly burdensome to support 85 different HA implementations with varying sets of assumptions.

It makes business sense to have infra do the HA instead of each developer team, and that means restrictions on how apps are built and run.

What you're experiencing is the platform-ization of a bunch of aspects of the app.

Making nice spaghetti usually consists of finding the rules, finding the people who made them, and then grabbing them and asking "what does it take for this app to be in prod 15 minutes after we push the last commit?". It sounds like it will be a lot of people because there's a lot of rules, but there's usually like a half-dozen teams that make all the rules.

It will likely force you to build differently than you would have, but it will also mean that you're more likely to have 0 friction and you're more likely to get help with the friction you do encounter.
Blame Simone de Beauvoir [1] who took feminism from 'equal rights for women' to 'women shall be like men' as is made clear by her statement in a 1975 interview [2] with Betty Friedan [3]:

“No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one… In my opinion, as long as the family and the myth of the family and the myth of maternity and the maternal instinct are not destroyed, women will still be oppressed.”

I'm not sure that your comment is responsive to the original post.

FSRM is fast on Intel, even with single byte strings. AMD claims to support FSRM with recent CPUs but performs poorly on small strings, so code which Just Works on Intel has a performance regression when running on AMD.

Now here you're saying `REP MOVSB` shouldn't be used on AMD with small strings. In that case, AMD CPUs shouldn't advertise FSRM. As long as they're advertising it, it shouldn't perform worse than the alternative.
