> it's kind of amazing that Netflix can, when it wishes to, produce "HBO Caliber" content

Netflix greenlights the projects and provides the money but it doesn't really produce the shows.
The 787 cabin pressure is equivalent 5000 ft above sea level versus 8000 ft for older planes. Essentially Denver versus Aspen.

They also created a 3D microphone array that they used to map the sound inside the airplane and spend the dampening budget in the places that will get the most impact.
I gave an answer to that animation behavior in a comment bellow https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38621273

Also, please test out the native version of ncube, I provide some pre-compiled binaries for Mac, Linux and Windows. They should perform better. The web port was a nice to have, but the native versions will always perform way better.
First of all, that's not what ablative means. Tiles potentially falling of does not make the heat shield ablative. Because tiles falling off is not a the heat transfer mechanism, rather a mechanical failure.

The Dragon Capsule for example has an Ablative Heat-Shield. But that doesn't necessarily mean it can't do multiple missions in a row. It just depends on how the shield is designed. The Dragon could potentially do many earth missions without replacing the heat shield.

Second, you are wrong in that there is anything fundamental about Starship or Shuttle heat shield not being able to fly multiple missions. If the tiles are still attached and not damaged, then all that has to happen is for the tiles to cool down. After that they are ready for another flight, meaning the tiles are not ablative.

Now experience on Shuttle has shown that if you are not careful tiles could fall of or be damaged. Damage can be reduced in various was and Starship without an external tank is already much better by design.

Additionally Shuttle had to glue tiles to a fragile aluminum frame making the installation very hard and the tiles very fragile. Starship on the other hand uses welded studs on a steel frame. So even if a tile is lots, the steel should still hold up pretty well. In on case Shuttle was saved because there just so happened to be steel under a damaged tile.

So you are right, heat shield is one of the biggest issue that could cause problems with rapid reputability. You are wrong, the tiles are not ablative cooled. But Starship tiles are totally different then Shuttles, they have made many improvements in the heat shield and its construction and in the heat shield tiles themselves.

Starship can likely survive even with a number of missing tiles if required. In some position tile lose can certainty be fatal.
> If Hamas would take up a defensive stance, there would never be any conflict. The only reason Israel attacks has been in response to terrorism.

Proof that this claim is not true is the occupation of West Bank which has submitted itself to Israeli rule without violent opposition. I am sure that you have heard the long list of grievances of its population against the Israeli occupation a million times by now, so I will spare you from going much into it here (military law for Palestinians, imprisonment of children, night raids just to show force and keep IDF soldiers trained etc).

Additionally, using the "terrorism" label is fairly meaningless when the label is assigned by one's enemy that keeps the land under occupation. An enemy that has an overwhelming technological, economical and military advantage that makes a direct confrontation impossible. While Israeli airplanes and drones are leveling residential buildings from distance, they are calling shooting of primitive rockets and guerrilla-style warfare terrorism. Every occupying power in the history of humanity, ever since the word "terrorism" has been introduced into our vocabulary, has called every resistance group terrorists. Also, the countries that you named that have publicly proclaimed Hamas a terrorist groups are all close NATO allies that mostly follow the lead of USA, which in turn strongly supports Israel's position.

We can all agree that Oct 7 attack of Hamas was horrible and that attrocities were committed during which a little under 400 soldiers and a little over 800 civillians were murdered. But if you will call that terrorism, then you have to be logically consistent and call the subsequent revenge-bombing of Gaza (in order to punish Gazans and Hamas alike for striking) what it is, given the death toll, siege conditions, genocidal rhetoric of Israel's leadership, and the devastation inflicted even just in the first few weeks, before the ground offensive even began. About 4000 children were dead before the ground invasion. Children. Children are not Hamas fighters who invaded Israel. Call Hamas whatever you want, but be consistent and just when applying labels.
Dan has a '2nd chance' thing going, things which don't hit the sweet spot for the audience sometimes get re-presented maybe?

He has also suggested to me to hang back and repost 10+ days later for stories he thinks had merit. (I hasten to add this has happened precisely once over the years. I am not show pony here, I was lucky finding a thing which he thought genuinely didn't get the eyeball time it deserved)

I am unsure there is an algorithm here. I tend to believe its a heuristic, there is some formulaic weighting, but also some prodding with a stick.
In their defense, they spent 3 minutes googling the origin of the term, and don't know anything about the book.
No more a scam than SSRIs. There’s an undercurrent within some research groups (a woman at Oxford, whose name escapes me at the moment) pushing forward research into the placebo effect and its mediation via — I want to say — the peripheral nervous system, lending some credence towards sham treatments like chiropractic practice.

Along with the likes of osteopathy, homeopathy is one of the forgotten forms of medicine. Allopathy, in this day and age, is criminal. Lots of elective surgeries that do nothing more than line pockets of medical device manufacturers, fleece the elderly, and bring prestige to aristocrat wannabes (certain doctors). That is saying nothing about the endemic of overprescription of psychoactive drugs like stimulants, and the rest.

Though that’s not to say homeopathy or osteopathy is any better. Once a field with research and experimentation, now relegated to fraudulent shamanism.

There’s a lot of lost knowledge from the 19th century that hasn’t been passed down, nor digitized. Some of it remains in libraries here and there.

I always wondered how the hell jury system works and how the hell they can put matters like this, or any matter for that matter, in the hands of a jury? Jury system seems so arbitrary to me. There is no explanation - no basis - just “we felt like this”, or rather “whatever, we want to do just do this”.
They're good for at least exploring the vocabulary of a new domain you're not familiar with. You can really dig into a topic and ask systematic things while jotting down new terms to look up and verify. It can help get you past the "don't know what you don't know" stage.
It’s funny to me as a physician to see “you’re not a hospital” as an example of a system that cannot tolerate downtime. Epic, probably the biggest EHR provider in the US, has planned downtime for upgrades at least monthly, for 30-60 min each.
There seems to be soooo much background feeling that the official large companies of AI are in control of things. Or should be. Or can be.

Can they? When plenty of groups are more interesting in exploiting the advances? When plenty of hackers will first try to work around the constraints - before even using the system as-is? When it's difficult even to define what AGI might test like or look like? When it might depend on a small detail or helper?
No problem! I'm glad it cleared your doubts.

Idk. On one hand all the main characters are gay or bi (I think Collin is?). On the other it’s almost entirely a non issue. The vampires have no concept of gay culture at all. As a straight guy with no particular connection to in group lgbt culture this seems preferable. It’s often culturally alienating. What we do in the shadows is comfortably normative

If he wasn't private, this would be terminal. Since he is private, it's between him and his debt funders. I believe this is classic "owe the bank $1000 you have a problem, owe the bank $1,000,000,000 they have a problem" territory.

quite the legitimate use case for such bandwidth! :)
Putting Seinfeld and Big Bang in the same bucket hurts my soul. Not sure how either are bad for you though. People need a way to decompress and a 22min sitcom is a great way to transition from one mood to another.
You love to operate by association - "They want to preserve their race, therefore they're nazis. The nazis committed genocide, therefore they also want genocide". A nice trick, for some reason the left side of the political spectrum is immune to it, despite a higher death toll.

But that same source describes their ideology directly. That description contains no calls to genocide (and wikipedia would not omit such calls). But you're not alleging they called for genocide - you're alleging people that shopped on a website that is linked [1] to them called for genocide.

[1] Again, allegedly linked, an allegation made by a literal by-any-definition terrorist organization.
Except that there is no way to upgrade a Postgres instance on RDS with a planned 15 minute downtime. You can't control when the reboots happen, you start the process and the cutover might kick in an hour later, two hours later, three hours later - you don't know when the reboots are going to happen and you can't control it.

If you have replicas they'll upgrade in parallel and will reboot at random times for even more fun.

So unless you can afford random unavailability in a timeframe which can last several hours (depending on DB size) the logical replication approach is the only way to do upgrades on RDS.

The bigger the instance, the harder the problem.

I won’t weigh in on the underlying controversy. Setting it aside, the congressional testimony made it clear that President Gay is terrible at important aspects of her job. She was ill prepared for the hearing and did not represent Harvard well.
TableGen isn't trying to be similar to C++, it's trying to be a language that makes it easy to specify highly redundant data tables.

Now, when you're writing an LLVM backend, these tables are immediately consumed by another tool that tries to write a very complex state machine based on these tables, and the formats of the tables that said tool expects is essentially undocumented and confusing, and the error messages tend to range from confusing to, well, straight up misleading. But technically that's not the fault of TableGen, that's the fault of that TableGen-based tool.
I'd say give Breaking Bad a try. It regularly comes up in "Best TV Show of All Time" conversations.

Does it reduce it quantifiably, and usefully, long term?

I've had the discussion about running SSHd on a non-standard port with a few people over the years. I've never been convinced that saving a bit of log file space is worth the reconfiguration time, nor that the security benefits are significant (assuming a secure config otherwise of course) given that at least some sophisticated actors prove I non-standard ports for the presence of services.

Having just tried a few weeks back ... don't rely on it for PostgreSQL yet. After a few back and forths my experiment got stalled for hours before AWS UI admitted the switch over didn't take. Thankfully it failed safe. But I have no faith in being able to time the actual switch over for any GB+ dataset.
Yeah, it was Salvatore.
Well that’s certainly true. I’ve seen quite a few people mess their lives up or take an early check out because of the sauce in my time.

But my understanding was that it has been difficult to directly link cancer and alcohol consumption causatively and it’s only been recent genetic research that’s opening up just how many cases are actually related.

This study made the number go from 750k to more than 3 million globally, and as research improves I imagine that number will continue to grow.

So, perhaps we shouldn’t so readily discount the link on the basis of its number of cases since we are only starting to have the science we need and the studies based on that science to create effective studies that aren’t based on correlative evidence.

If you close all the ports you do not use and properly configure all services that listen on the ports that you do use, should you care? Should you bother with black holing, port knockers, non-standard port or even firewalls for that matter? Honest question
I have no idea where you live but you are completely disconnected from the average reality. I'm going to guess NYC or SF because you don't seem to realize that things actually haven't changed that much. You're describing the woke utopia that the left from those places seem to pine for.

I'm as liberal as they come but am from flyover country. Everyone hunts. Women do a lot of the cooking. There are lots of stay at home moms. And everyone is ok with it, shotguns and all.

I was never into insisting to only talk on the phone from the basement of my medieval castle. The view from the battlements is much better.

Like I said above, for like $8/mo you have in fact unlimited 4G at decent speeds here. Or for idk maybe $15 you can get a gpon, unlimited traffic, 30+Mbit to the house, depending on local laziness of course. And that is for a rural place in Balkans, not something in more civilized places.

John J. Mearsheimer has weighed in on characterizing what Israel is doing against the Palestinians.

"I do not believe that anything I say about what is happening in Gaza will affect Israeli or American policy in that conflict. But I want to be on record so that when historians look back on this moral calamity, they will see that some Americans were on the right side of history.

What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.”

Let me elaborate [...]"

I mean, exactly. Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this quote. It’s hilarious.
Theres tons of evidence for this. Heres an example of pg furthering conspiracy theories: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1733146138226614465 (note: Rashida Tlaib has extremist viewpoints and has even been censored by the house for those views). Here is a tweet with misinformation about Al-Shifa hospital that he retweeted: https://x.com/GhassanAbuSitt1/status/1722977553101562156?s=2... (and didnt correct the record). Here is him posting about Gaza not having fuel for hospitals (even though Hamas had copious stockpiles of it): https://x.com/Beltrew/status/1717247691455971742?s=20 Here is him reposting https://x.com/evanhill/status/1732567824160235800?s=20 which is an extremely unfair comparison (to be more fair, compare the casualties, and get better sources for the actual damage. using "high end estimate" is an obviously biased comparison). There are plenty more, but you can look at his twitter for yourself.

All of this, I'd be ok with saying may be coming from an entirely sympathetic perspective and trying to find a way back to peace...but where is the sympathy for the other side? There is certainly much to criticize when it comes to the actions of the israeli government, but where is the sympathy for its people? Where are the calls to return the israeli hostages? Where are the tweets denouncing Hamas for the murder and rape of civilians? Non-existant. This was a man I had deeply respected. I bought all his books, read all of his articles, been to startup school multiple times to hear him talk, but this incredibly unfair bias made me lose SO much respect for him. I really want to be wrong about this and would welcome another perspective, but at this point I've literally gone through all his tweets back to Oct 7 and there isnt a single one sympathetic to the israeli people. Please prove me wrong.
Is this list only self-produced programs then? The Netflix announcement makes it sound like it included everything on Netflix.
> beyond question that many Palestinians were expelled at gunpoint from homes

You'd surprised how many out right reject this ever happened, including some prominent "Zionists" in tech. There's some alternate reality that some of us were simply not part of, but yet find ourselves with them in this shared reality.
If you've got planned maintenance that requires downtime then you are always scheduling it at the times when your traffic is at its lowest. How much you avoid hard downtime is a function of how much money you're willing to spend on the maintenance.

LGPLv3 is more restrictive than Apache 2. The point as that every source file will be under LGPLv3, because it will be Apache 2 code mixed with LGPLv3 code.

The Apache 2 code will remain Apache 2 code, but in a pointless way.
There is a better way than fully copying table content one by one which is very I/O heavy and will not work if you have very large tables.

You can create a replication slot, take a snapshot, restore the snapshot to a new instance, advance the LSN and replicate from there - boom, you have a logical replica with all the data. Then you upgrade your logical replica.

This article from Instacart shows how to do it: https://archive.ph/K5ZuJ

If I remember correctly the article has some small errors but I haven't done this in a while and I don't exactly remember what was wrong. But in general the process works, I have done it like this several times upgrading TB-sized instances.

Why is that funny? If you treat Youtube as a social network, which it pretty much is, then it would actually be funny if Netflix is not on it.
Sure, but the show displays toxic masculinity as a dorky thing that "nerds" just do.

Overall, I believe the show is a terrible role model for how men who are in STEM fields should behave to others who do not fit the stereotype.

Standard business model. Buy a company, lay off everyone, do no new development, move to a subscription model, keep shifting the decimal point every year or two, and by the time you're down to two customers, who cares because you're raking in a million dollars a minute.

A big hearty fuck you to all the regulators that allowed this to go through. You are derelict and negligent in your obligations to protect the public.
That the Israelian public is devided on the current Israelian government and its policies was reported on in Germany when it was about the judicative reforms.

Reporting this devide between religious hardliners and more liberal people stopped with the Hamas and Gaza attacks. Since then, it basically comes down to equating Israel as a nation (ignoring the fact that policy is made governments) with all Israelians (ignoring opposition to the current Israelian government) with all jews everywhere else. Ehy am I saying this? Because every critique of Israel as nation, and the policies of the current government, have been almost immediately been called out as being anti-semitic.

I think that does a disservice to everyone: jews, because it makes ever jew kind of a target for people oposing Israel (after all Israel is representative for each and every jew, if you believe certain articles). It makes it harder for Israelian opposition forces to get traction and it squarely devides Arabs / Muslims from jews, making dialogue extremely hard.

One can critizie Israel as a nation without being an anti-semite. One can also be supportive of Gazan civilians without supporting Hamas. By preventing this discourse, nobody is gaining anything.
