Inbound IPs use anycast - the IP we give you routes to the nearest fly region and then hits a wireguard tunnel to get to the correct region.

Outbound IPs are tied to the individual host your machine is running on (which is located in a single region). These are tied to a single region, and in some cases, these were resolving to the wrong region in a few of the GeoIP databases. We hopefully fixed this part.
> It is likely that the future of biocomputing hardware and software will likely include a combination of all three technologies [19]: live cell, enzyme-free, and enzymatic logic gates.

This prediction has a bunch of fun implications for security:

* Viruses and malware for such computers will also have a physical virus stage

* Tradeoffs between DNA and traditional methods for data storage

* A possible arms race between obfuscating and detecting unusual retrotranscriptases
This is great! I can't really endorse most of the web "innovations" that have happened since the Dot Bomb. There was a time before FAANG when people with low technical knowhow could build something on the web and start earning enough residual income to pay their rent. Like the eBay store on The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Or the Mutiny BBS before that in Halt and Catch Fire. I did it with my business partner via shareware in the early 2000s. Even though the writing was on the wall even then that this was all going corporate.

I think that things started going wrong when the anti-intellectual/anti-education movement gained prominence after 9/11 in the push towards privatization and outsourcing. Before that, we could rely on publicly-funded academia to deliver techniques designed from first principles to decrease our workload.

But since then, we seem to get leftovers like endless Javascript build pipelines handed down to us from the private sector. It's almost like best practices today are designed to mire a startup in endless red tape. While multinational corporations just throw money at it to create a billion dollar pair of scissors that we can't afford.

The way to undo all of that is to do the opposite. Realize that our freedom and prosperity start with our tools and techniques. Find the underemployed exhausted people and give them any resources at all to design better stuff and then leave them alone. Start funding bottom-up and middle-out policies instead of waiting around for trickle-down economics to toss us more scraps. Don't let any one person become a cult of personality preaching how things should be. And stop worshipping capital and focus on getting actual resources (the most important being time) to the middle class through automation and recycling to avoid war. This stuff is so obvious and evident in history that the main challenge is to unlearn one's own programming to be able to perceive alternatives.

Edit: we're talking about HTML not macroeconomic policy. But after spending my entire career having to do things the "easy" way because there's never any time or budget to do things the simple way, I view the complexities of the modern web and the barriers standing in the way of our self-actualization as one and the same.

Edit 2: think scholarships, grants and UBI - not loans, investments and contests.
> I'm considering a Nebula subscription (if Curiosity Stream's sign up flow doesn't persuade me not to again)

Nebula and Curiosity Stream are in a bit of a "breakup period". Curiosity Stream will no longer bundle Nebula at all starting next month (next year).

If you want Nebula, sign up directly with Nebula at this point. Or find a referral code from a channel that you like because they still get paid slightly more for direct referrals. I believe for a few more weeks they are still selling lifetime memberships, as an interesting way to amortize your spread for the next few years (and basically get a long term $/hr deal for a bigger short term investment), if that is something that interests you.

I’m often amazed at the giant steel structures and vehicles that sit decaying along the side of highways for decades.

Whether it’s a case of nobody knows who owns them, regulatory hurdles, economics of breaking it down, or some other reason, I’ve often wondered why something like entire trains can just sit collecting graffiti after a railroad shuts down.

Does anyone have any insight? Is there not an abundance of material that’s recoverable low hanging fruit compared to creating new? Or is the metal recovered not as useful for chemical/physical reasons?

You mean that enterprises would prefer on-prem, right?
But if I'm an engineer working on a large enterprise, what's the difference between a SaaS providing an on-prem option, and an OSS? It's not like I can just git clone a repo and run it on my large enterprise cloud environment.
The node would be a virtual-kubelet. You can check out the virtual-kubelet GitHub repo for more info.

Interestingly, there are already multiple providers of virtual-kubelet. For example, Azure AKS has virtual nodes where pods are Azure Container Instances. There’s even a Nomad provider.

> So that’s what we do. When you create a cluster, we run K3s and the Virtual Kubelet on a single Fly Machine.

So probably a cluster per region. You could theoretically spin up multiple virtual-kubelets though and configure each one as a specific region.

> Because of kine, K3s can manage multiple servers, but also gracefully runs on a single server, without distributed state.

This would mean the control-plane would be on a single-server without high-availability? Although, I suppose there really isn’t any state stored since they are just proxying requests to the Fly Machine API. But still, if the machine went down your kubectl commands wouldn’t work.

Almost none of those philosophers accuse proponents of the hard problem of consciousness with dabbling in mysticism.

You equated people that find consciousness hard with people being scared of the conclusions. You are essentially saying that those people are not intellectually strong as you.

You're allowed to be a cheerleader for your company.

You're allowed to bring a business combination to the market and let people make up their mind if they want to be a part of it or get their money back from the SPAC.

You're allowed to sell your shares when your lock up ends

You're allowed to do this multiple times if people will continue to fund you.

His SPAC companes are a whose who of failed companies.

- OpenDoor Technologies

- Clover Health

and one failed SPAC Social Capital Hedosophia IV

Agreed.

In addition, I feel like Americans give out more of an "A for effort" vibe in response, whereas Europeans are more like "nice try n00b".
Carolina, in this case, refers to the name of the institution. This is likely based on its history. UNC-Chapel Hill used to be the only public institution of higher education in the southeastern US. Over time, UNC evolved to become the name of the system of schools that includes UNC-CH, NCSU, and 15 other campuses.

To this day, however, UNC-CH is still often referred to as Carolina, UNC, Chapel Hill, or - for athletics - the Tar Heels.
It is not our war (I’m not Ukranian, nor Russian). I understand that it is bad and unacceptable that Putin does this and I also want to stop it, but not at all costs. To me enough lives were already lost and I don’t see how can we win.
Maybe this is unacceptable to many people, but I prefer the interest of my own country, my family and friends. I’m open to help, but again, not at all costs. I don’t see how is it in our interest to be at war with Russia (I’m from Europe).
> any potential employee falls under the same laws and companies have to get things done

The externalities are the killer here; companies slow down their hiring by default, economic velocity decreases, and escape velocity becomes unattainable.

> Your argument could equally be applied to a university degree, or to prior experience - both mean you expect higher pay and so by your logic companies are less likely to even interview you

That higher pay is not a given because it's not mandated. You might expect higher pay but then be sadly disappointed when you find out that the market doesn't value your additional experience or university degree the way that you do, even though you owe $100k for the piece of paper. (Of course, the opposite can also be true and hopefully often is, but the point is that the market decides based on what's most efficient for the company and will help them generate more money fastest.)

Free markets are essentially self-optimizing.
Necessary doesn't mean sufficient. If you don't have the compute, the storage, the data fusion, etc. that Waymo has, you're not going to perform as well.

Anyone trying to cost-optimize before a product like this reaches a pretty high level of maturity is piling a gratuitous risk on top of the inherent risks.
It serves the authors content ad-free. You can choose to subscribe to authors that do not place ads or sponsored content in their videos.

When I dropped cable I started subscribing to dozens of channels and now have a pretty solid subscription list.

Many creators I follow have dabbled in different forms of monetization, and I've preferred to stick with the ones that offer patterns or other methods of supporting them.

I don't think it's fair to criticize googles product offering for the content creators choices
I make the difference between canonical and bootstrapping.

When I said canonical, I meant the reference one which will actually be used to compile "normal" rust code.

SPACs as a concept may be legal but there's a very large gray area around how individual ones were implemented/sold. There are already dozens of SPAC lawsuits making their way through various courts, and I don't think a larger federal-level investigation by the SEC or DoJ can just be written off as "SPACs are legal". IPOs are legal as well, but if a single investment bank was promising companies that it would use every trick in the book to pump and dump their worthless shares on retail investors, and did so hundreds of times, you can be pretty sure the feds would come down on them hard.

> it's extremely difficult (if even possible) to assign "scores" to the outcomes of all technologies

On the contrary, it's quite easy to judge the outcome of technological development for our species: it's about 4 billion years after first microorganisms emerged on our planet and we are having this conversation while thousands of miles apart, in the comfort of our homes, with our bellies full, well clothed, sheltered and without anybody trying to eat us. Nature left us naked in the freezing rain in a eat-or-be-eaten world. Everything else comes from technology. In a word: amazing.

> we haven't wiped out our species

We also understood the laws of the Universe and used them build rockets and supercomputers.

> My personal cosmology is that death is natural, normal, and good.

It's every individual's right to embrace a death cult. But as a civilization we can't. We have to evolve and grow beyond the tiny pocket of the Universe where we emerged, before some cosmic cataclysm (or ourselves) wipes us out. We owe it to our ancestors and our children.

We already have a better mechanism for publishing and peer review.. it's called the internet. Literally the comments section of Reddit would work better. Reviews would be tied to a pseudonymous account instead of anonymous, allowing people to judge the quality of reviewers as well. Hacker News would work just as well too. It's also nearly free to setup a forum and frictionless to use compared to paying academic journals $100k for them to sell your own labour back to you. Cost and ease of use also mean more broadly accessible and hence more widely reviewed.
Lived this as well. Even more painful when you actually try to explain it to them.
It works but you have to keep it at least "semi-active". Some shops have CI services setup to cross compile etc. already. Mainly I've seen this not as a tool to maintain a "backup" but as a way to shake out bugs and keep non-portable stuff from creeping into the codebase.

You could probably do most of it with conservative linting and some in-house knowledge of portability issues, non-standard compiler extensions, etc.

It's typically a lot easier to do this for different compiler, same target, than different targets.
I was referring not to just valley tech startups but investing in new small businesses overall. Per the U.S. Gov Small Business Administration:

Tangentially, this has been great for Apple to get metrics on Android demand for iMessage. Sure, one can assume every Android user would want access, but instances like this show people are willing to pay for access as well.

Having changed a lot of my media habits post-2020 reading a newspaper (including digital versions[1]) has become my favorite way to consume news for a few fairly-obvious sounding reasons when said aloud in the current landscape.

- Newspapers end. Any news site, or social media peddling news in disguise, will never stop showing you content. Even if that content is something you won't like, and they know you won't like it, but they must retain you at all costs. They simply let you scroll forever. When I'm done with the paper I move on with my day.

- Newspapers are never written 'for you'. The paper clearly writes for an audience but not me as an individual. Not everything I see will be because an Algorithm or someone in product believes this will drive N% more clicks or revenue from me. I can better understand my own biases.

- Ads are obvious, clearly labeled, distinctly different from content, and often includes who paid for them. Ads are also not animated or obtrusive (if sometimes large), which if you turn off ad-block and go to any site these days is a jarring experience. Even sometimes with ad-block on.
