Genuine question: I'm curious to know why you deploy with docker-compose and not Docker swarm (eg like described at https://dockerswarm.rocks/ ). I'm deploying the same kind of apps, and ended up with Swarm which seems to fit perfectly. I also found Kubernetes much too complex for my use case. Curious to know why we ended up with different outcomes.

Btw, I also use Compose, but for local runs (of other apps).

There was a much easier bug on the ZX Spectrum.

You would set where to hyperspace to, then trigger a hyperspace jump as you are docking. You would then land in the space station of the other system.

> Just saying that there's nothing wrong with the statistics of it.

I think that an understanding of basic statistics still eludes a lot of people. Teaching it should be prioritized as much as teaching algebra. There are a lot of interesting real-life examples of how we get confused or tricked with statistics, enough to even keep the attention in class of the average high-schooler.
You're right, though tolerances allow for up 253V since 2009. I usually measure between 235V and 242V from the wall.
Mamba is also the name of a package management system, similar to Conda.

I'm curious how HN readers would solve the looming insurance problem.

Southern US states like Florida are becoming uninsurable due to climate risks raising the price above what residents can afford, which raises insurance costs for the rest of us in other states. The same thing is happening with car insurance, where the wealthy drive up prices on new vehicles to $50-100,000+, forcing the rest of us to carry higher liability coverage. And with medical insurance, where poor lifestyle choices, environmental threats like pollution/preservatives and monopoly pressures from not having universal coverage cause those of us in good health to pay $6,000/yr or more and a multi-thousand dollar deductible, which mostly defeats the point of having insurance.

My feeling is that we'll either set reasonable limits for what will be reimbursed (around the the median cost of what's being insured) or insurance will divide into a two-tier system where the wealthy are covered by gold plans while the poor pay to keep the system going and receive pennies on the dollar in coverage. Which is why I feel that tying the price of insurance to income might solve many of these problems.

But insurance used to work, so I feel like there's a deeper explanation or solution that I'm not seeing.
Nobody uses Swarm. Everyone understands compose, all projects ship with compose files.
I like them because they help me to partition my code into units that are easier to write and test. Once they're working, assembling the parts generally leads to a working project.

It also motivates me to get small pieces working and tested before I get to the finish line. Each successful test is a victory!
There are other factors but you seem to be making an emotional argument.
Yes high page sites can be like that. I think internal/external backlinks can help there. Although not an SEO expert.
But can a SaaS that just indexes help you any better?

NACS supports either one or two phases for AC charging which would be used in most home chargers. A really high power charger would use DC with the AC/DC conversion happening before (and that could be from a three-phase source)

suspected law breakers then? Fucking semantics people. Also telling.

My home, built in 1971, had 1 phase connected to it but the power company already buried the 2 extra copper wires for 3-phase hookup, requiring only a new meter for 3 phase to be installed.
"These images, which were often poor quality, were captured from CCTV or employees’ mobile phone cameras." - the article

"You don't think the technology will catch up?"

First, technology can not transcend GIGO. GIGO is fundamental.

Secondly:

"When a customer entered a store who supposedly matched an existing image on its database, employees would receive an automatic alert instructing them to take action — and the majority of the time this instruction was to “approach and identify,” meaning verifying the customer’s identity and asking them to leave." - the article

Face matching is not a hard problem for computers. Face matching is a hard problem, period. We humans seem to have dedicated hardware for it, and we are not generally a "dedicated hardware" sort of species when it comes to that sort of task. GIGO is fundamental for humans too.
Honestly I doubt it. Musk already said himself that the company hinges on getting to full self-driving eventually, so it wouldn’t be surprising if every other decision is ultimately in service of that however unlikely it now seems.

Either way, I think it’s terrific business. Would you rather have a dependable advantage that helps you stay further ahead of competitors in one industry, or have slightly less of an advantage (when you’re already in the lead) and get to dominate a whole second industry too (gas stations, for which superchargers have no peers in the EV world).
And two phases give you 2x the power for the same copper.

Unrelated to JWST, specifically, I'm curious:

Why haven't we developed a "generic" satellite that we can "mass produce" and send one to every moon and planet in our solar system?

It would be so amazing to have constant images coming from each body in our little neighborhood.

Launching stuff seems to be cheaper now. And (I would imagine) making 10 satellites that are identically is only slightly more expensive than making one. And I would think cameras and radios would be similar for each planet/moon.

What am I missing? Why is that not a thing right now?

Dumb idea to refuse to waste more money because you have other debts.

I think we all do a bit of TDD, just not the extreme kind. If you already have the code and now you're trying to extend it, thinking about how this is going to be done and writing a few tests around the usage makes sense. It also makes sense if you don't have the code but you do have a way to structure the code in your mind and you can figure out what parts you can build and test first.

So while it's not TDD in the pure sense (it's more like Test Assisted Development) it is leveraging the spirit of TDD.
Ask HN: How to gain intuition around the hardware & software relationship?
Pierre Menard, author of the Don Quixote. A masterpiece, like almost everything Borges wrote.
k8s is a kit of (very useful) parts imho. The abstractions it presents are not human-usable. It needs some layer that adapts concepts that make intuitive sense to a human to its internal model. e.g. Vercel. You can make a tool for example that will deploy compose files onto a k8s cluster, and that thing will be totally useable by someone who already understands k8s. But give them raw k8s and they will spend a month scratching their head.

You really couldn't have picked a better example to illustrate why the OPs argument was so ignorant. Pretending that reality doesn't exist doesn't make it stop existing.

No one is disagreeing that 1 per store per day is a small number. We're disagreeing with the OPs statement that there's nothing wrong with one false positive accusation of shoplifting per store per day given the obvious consequences of such an accusation in the context of the US system of policing and global blame shifting to the machine, and that given such a context essentially any false positive rate is too high.
Funny, I was sort of exploring the idea of aquaponics myself and I was trying to explain to someone what was at the root of my curiosity and I realized that it was enclosed ecosystems. I had fun giving the lettuce to people and explaining that it was grown without ever seeing natural sun or soil and showing them a timelapse video of the growth, but no one seemed all that impressed lol.

If you've never been, I can highly recommend a trip to "Biosphere 2" in Arizona which is a semi-retired monument to the whole idea, and quite worth the tour.
It kind of works, you just have to use `typing.get_annotations(func)` instead of `func.__annotations__`. Although if you aren't importing the types used in your annotations that isn't going to work... I would guess that's rare in practice.
Maybe I'm showing my age, but braking should not require software. It should be a pedal physically linked (through hydraulics or otherwise) to four sets of brake pads. Maybe an exception for ABS, but even then, ABS can obviously be implemented without software or even electronics.
Unit and integration testing are not strategies to be used exclusively.

Integration tests relying on interlocking behavior are, by their nature, complicated. Unit tests are there to test what can be tested simply, and are cheaper to write, so your test structure should be pyramid shaped, with hopefully fewer tests as complexity increases.
Do they? I have never actually seen that. Do you have examples?
I like how the images seem to go towards magical, mystical and psychedelic with more iterations. Mushrooms just start appearing out of the blue..
Kinda yes. And technically, it's still pure.

It does fit well a small set of problems and break in surreal nightmarish ways for everything else; just like the OOP's maximalist DI.

It is worse in that you are injecting an entire interpreter instead of just a few functions, but this doesn't create as many problems on practice as it looks like it should. And it's better because idiomatically the injection tends to be explicit and well defined; and if your DI doesn't have at least one of those, it will again break in surreal nightmarish ways.

(And here I have to point out that in OOP-land, web frameworks are allergic to well defined interfaces - what means that you can create one, but if you insist the framework tends to choke and die. So, if you are writing for the web in OOP, there's actually only one option.)

But well, it's not surprising that the maximalist options all break in similar ways.
Ask HN: Good book on recent break throughs in Genetics?
I have been hearing alot of high praise concerning recent breakthroughs in Genomics, Genetics et al.

An example is CRISPR/CAS9 and the falling prices of sequencing.

I was wondering if there was a great book that would give me a birds eye view on what's happening in this industry and it's potential impact.
Perceptions are not reality, or necessarily reasonable. And the flags are most likely due to the "Who here is the selfish and narcissistic one here?"-comment, which could indeed have been phrased as less of an accusation (even though it's the same insult/accusation that was used in the post I replied to). I would have flagged it for that.

I'm always open to criticism on, well, anything, but if you can't even side-ways acknowledge the flaming rant that I replied to for what it is then clearly our standards of "acceptable behaviour" are so different that we have little common ground.

Maybe no one should call anyone a narcissist or things like that? I shouldn't have either as I said, but that is the really the issue here as far as I'm concerned.
> It's interesting to me what someone on HN wouldn't be aware of computer aversion behaviours and malware related technophobia.

I'm aware of them, and I've seen them across numerous generations with lots of members of the same generations being active computer users.

What I am not aware of and no one has provided any support for is the claim that an entire generations refused computer use for the particular reasons stated upthread, the people that avoided computer use mostly did it for ither reasons, and the people with hacking concerns were mostly computer users, though they often had atypical usage patterns (sometimes reasonably related to avoiding hacking, sometimes heavily cargo culted.)
How widespread is that really? After the first deployment (where every EV youtuber east of the Mississippi converged on one tesla lot in New York :-) I haven't seen it in tech news since, and looking in the app I see 2 private ("destination") chargers in all of MA, and none in CT...
Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about
Every new manufacturer switching to the Tesla standard further incentivizes e.g. BP, Shell, etc. to offer charging though. I don't see why they'd dominate this space.
I think what you’re getting at is that societies define themselves based on external threats.

Psychologically speaking on a group level it is much easier to say what we are not and define ourselves based on that than it is to develop an internal definition of ourselves.

You can see this in the history of national identities coalescing around external threats such as the American identity being sidelined for state identity until the revolution.

This is a well-studied phenomenon and contributes to the post-colonial failed states with arbitrary borders. Remove the colonial power and you’ve removed the national identity and cause massive fragmentation and dysfunction.

I’m not sure there is a solution to this in a nuclear world as it is in our biology and has served us well up until the point where we developed genocidal tools and processes which justifiable scare the developed world into relenting from defining external groups as major antagonists.

As much as a strong national identity can give great cohesion and confidence it can now also teeter the world or parts of it into apocalypse which it has basically done twice now and loomed over us a third time with the Cold War. I sense we have a new Cold War now and it has been looming for almost decade. To me this is our great filter and I am forcefully optimistic we can figure something out because the alternative is utter destruction.

What has happened? Has some other news raised more interest in this project?
Is there an original paper discussion? I seem to have missed it. It's quite interesting. I didn't catch on to this part:

"We note that full results on context length 8k are missing for the RWKV and RetNet baselines, prior strong recurrent models that can also be interpreted as SSMs, due to a lack of efficient implementation leading to out-of-memory or unrealistic computation requirements."

RetNet doesn't really consume much memory, and with the chunkwise forward implementation, it restricts the VRAM usage to the chunk size. This is the part to test the context length.

Has anyone done some tests on the original Mamba model? How fast is the training on this one in comparison with RetNet in parallel forward mode?
This is a grand idea and I wish the world was capable of it, but it isn't.

With humans specifically, there is ALWAYS an asshole. Always.

There is always someone that will see a community, think those people are idiots, marks, suckers, etc. and will do whatever they can to take things from them, like their property, or their lives, because they look different, worship a different god, talk differently, etc. In other cases, it's a power thing. They will lie about whatever they need to, so assume control, then shit on everyone around them, for their own "betterment".

Humans will always be the absolute worst enemy of humans.

Again, I wish we lived in a world where your idea could work. It would be a much, much better place.
Maybe you can enlighten me how the shape plays a role here? In the end isn't this about how close the absolute vote matches the political outcome? One could easily come up with rectangular districts that skew the result, right?

At this point, rather than chasing CUDA/cuDNN compatability, it would seem more productive for AMD to be targetting high level language support. Forget CUDA compatibility, and instead support work such as Mojo and MLIR.

It seems that in an ideal world PyTorch support for AMD wouldn't rely on ROCm, but rather be based on high level code compiled to MLIR with AMD target support, with this same MLIR representation supporting Mojo and any other languages such as Julia that want optimized AMD support.

A couple of additional points on how the "low-RAM" works:

1 - https://www.lifewire.com/understanding-compressed-memory-os-... : Apple devices have support for memory compression, see https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-2050.18.24/libke...

2 - Apple devices support something called "jetsam", which basically frees up memory from unused/background apps by killing them in order to keep high priority apps running smoothly: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/identifying-...
" Arcan will use the private funding to improve client compatibility, initially with a focus on the KVM / QEMU UI / audio driver integration and then working on to enhancing integration with X.Org, Qt, Imgui, SDL/GLFW, and the Chrome Ozone layer.

The backwards compatibility has broken some - I think mostly visibly noticeable between 5.6 and 7.0. And every release there's some deprecations introduced that will eventually break in future. Many complex applications in 5.6 won't run 100% error free in 8.2, for sure. I'm working with a company to move from 5.6 to 7.4 and there's very little that doesn't work in the main code. Their earlier version of Doctrine was using a class called 'Null', and internally (unrelated to doctrine) they had a class named 'Null' - those had to be renamed. That took all of about 2 minutes. Upgrading Doctrine version got us to a version that removed the Null class name there too.

Python also broke backwards compatibility with their v3 release years ago. Unsure why breaking backward compatibility is being called out here(?).

But yeah, overall, it's struck me that PHP has introduced more and stricter typing rules with surprisingly little impact (compared to what could have been, of course).
What's next for Tor and privacy online?
Sounds like a feature, not a bug.

If you can't get a private company to insure you, the government should (and does) insure you as a last resort, usually more expensive than any commercial insurance but still at a loss. But, paying out just to rebuild in the same spot is idiotic. The program should only pay out if you use that money to relocate and/or rebuild somewhere where you can get commercial insurance. If that means you need to move, so be it.

If you can just pay out of pocket to rebuild every few years, that's fine. It's not a human right to live on a beach in a state that gets nailed by a record-setting hurricane every 3 or 4 years (and several times in between).
