N100 wasn't yet released when this was written in May (or was only just released).

Also the N100 only supports 16G RAM, and this guy has 64G. Number of pcix lanes (9 vs. 20) probably matter for their use case as well. And the i5 does seem quite a bit faster in general.

The issue is complexity - we could create some sort or 'standard tool' library that 'just works' on all platforms, but now building the tool and runtime bootstrapping the tool become more complex, and hence more likely to _break_.

Really most people want it in their path and it just to work in as many scenarios as possible. Config almost shouldn't be the responsibility of the tool at all... (Options passed to the tool via env variables, perhaps)...

In a few weeks the 570 is replaced by 7900 xtx. The RAM adds a lot of W. 3-5W per 8GB of RAM depending on the frequency is common for DDR5.

I was expecting around 50-100W for Proxmox+TrueNAS. I did not consider the power draw of the RAM when I went for 96GB.

What you posted were generalities and platitudes.

Yes, when water gets too hot, fish die. You need to be bit more specific than that. For example when the water we use to boil a fish (I prefer fried) is at a good 100ºC, that kills fish.

I have some doubts that the nuclear power plants raised the temperatures of the rivers to 100ºC.

To be relevant, you would have to have some precise figure as to what the official limits are, what the temperatures when fish (which types of fish?) actually start getting affected and how much, what temperatures the plants emit and how much those temperatures raise the temperature of the river.

And of course, all you actually have is more slander and denouncements. As usual.

I feel like an petrochem refinery with my 44 spinning rust units NAS 847E16-RJBOD, 48 port POE+ 10 GbE switch, 2 lights-out and environmental monitoring UPSes, and DECISO OPNsense router using a combined average of 1264W. ]: One UPS is at least reporting a power factor with an efficiency of 98%, while the other one isn't as great at 91%.

APM is disabled on all HDDs because it just leads to delay and wear for mythological power savings that isn't going to happen in this setup. Note that SMART rarely/never predicts failures, but one of the strongest signals of drive failures is slightly elevated temperatures (usually as a result of bearing wear).

This creates enough waste heat such that one room never needs heating, but cooling isn't strictly needed either because there's no point to reducing datacenter ambient below 27 C.
If you really need your own is prime implementation a bit of googling would have given you a much better implementation and some good discussions of pro and cons of various techniques.

> People like the author of the article and people who misuse autopilot are why we can’t have nice things.

Well - yes - exactly. The software protects us from people who will misuse the technology and hurt others.

Cars are extremely dangerous.
Hold on the writer was testing “Autosteer”, described autosteer as a function that keeps the car within the travel lane markings and then proceeded to fault the system for not slowing and stopping? Then he literally talked about Full Self Driving which does exactly what he described? This is a bad article.

I rented a current model year Audi A4 on my last trip which had the Audi equivalent of Autosteer. I could drive for minutes at a time without touching the steering wheel. And I literally just touched the steering wheel, and that was enough for the car to continue in its way. Where is Geoffrey’s outrage there?

Methinks this journalist has no idea what Autosteer is supposed to do. Maybe this highlights the larger problem of “smart cars”. Most owners have their own notion of what a feature should do which ultimately makes them oblivious to what’s actually happening.

> They restrict people to a single immutable identity

This is a good thing because this is what people have, one single immutable identity.

What you've identified are problems with assumptions about the relationship between various things and identity.

A key one is the relationship between name and identity. Two people can have the same name but aren't the same person. A person ca change their name but they haven't become a new person.

I can do anything I want to myself honestly. I can color my hair, have a sex change, lose weight, gain weight, have height augmentation surgery, get piercings grow a beard, change my name, whatever, but I'm still the same person. That is immutable. I still have the same mother and father, the same birthdate, lived in the same places, attended the same schools, studied the same things, etc.

My identity as far as the government is concerned is still tied to a single number. Yeah, they make it hard to change a lot of the other stuff related to that number (for good reason), but ultimately they are pretty good at knowing who I am based on that number.
Oh okay, I guess you've got it figured out. Now specify it in enough detail for others to implement it, get all stakeholders to agree and get everyone to implement it exactly to the spec.

Good luck. You're already off to a rough start with XDG, since that isn't what is used on Windows. And it's unclear whether it ought to be used on macOS.
When is "back in the day?" It was my understanding that techniques like brining date to the early medieval days, and inventions like brining haring were what gave the Dutch a leg up in their expansion, long after Rome had fallen.

I'm not disagreeing with you entirely, I do agree that salt was an important preservate in Rome and before that, but maybe not to the extent that 4 litres per week would be practical for most people.
These sorts of sites should really be called Content Sharing sites or something.

I care about a social networking site because my social network is on it, not because some third party goes through effort to post content. I want content from sites like hackernews because it is interesting in and of itself. I want posts of my parents’ dog because I care about my parents.

These are two totally different use cases and I don’t see what we gain from conflating them.

This is why Facebook sucks (it combines the two), while Reddit was good for a long time (of course Reddit has gone downhill in implementation, but the concept is solid).
The only good identifier is a private one. Email, usernames, etc. They should all be changeable. You don't know what laws come unto function, which events occur, does a person change gender and now need a new social security number, did a person use a business email account for all their private stuff. Usernames change as we fancy, and the whole uniqueness around usernames are a little bit silly as well.

A private id is probably just the best, whether it is a UUID, or another type of sufficiently collision resistant id, kept away from the user for the most part.

Let said person have an email or username, and let other people tag or friend them, but only use said username/email when doing the initial connection. Base said connections off of, the private id

It's better than ChatGPT in pretty much every possible way. The two that are most important and least subjective: Up to date information and cited sources.

Other more subjective things: fewer hallucinations (I have yet to encounter a factual error in Perplexity, and I do check the source on anything that seems questionable) and the follow-on question suggestions are very useful.

To be clear, by "finding information," I'm mostly referring to factual historical or current event information about the real world, i.e. not reference information for writing code. For the usecase I'm describing, I think it's frankly silly to use ChatGPT over Perplexity.
Back in the day we had admins and communities of people. You'd get to know people more and establish trust. You could have registered brackets and independent tournaments with manual administration and banning for cheaters.

It worked pretty good, but all of that was taken away.
What I really want is a modern laptop with the old style Thinkpad aesthetics and pragmatisms. i.e ports, replaceable components, magnesium alloy chassis with plastic and rubber armor (i.e tanky AF), good keyboard with real travel, hot swap batteries, 3.5mm jack, card readers, OOTB Linux support, hw kill switches for radios, webcams and mic.

Then for modernisation: 4k OLED, USB-C charging + docking, actually decent webcam and mic.

Ideally in X220 and T400-esq form-factors to choose from.

Instead I have a MBP M2 because Thinkpad just ain't Thinkpad anymore and that is sad.
I see, thought you didn't have experience with Rust, my mistake. To be honest I think most people are using Rust async just fine, with the async_trait crate, and Rust in general simply because most aren't doing anything too advanced or use workarounds where needed, via crates, syntactic desugaring, or otherwise. For example, I use Rust primarily for my backend web server via Axum, and I haven't really felt a need to stress too much about async, everything I need to work just works. Every language has its faults, people simply work around them to Get Shit Done.

The article mentions "your job is social first, technical second" but seems to focus mostly on the technical aspects. Was hoping to find more advice for the social aspects.

Created a tiny Discord for some friends and have been wondering what I can do to make it worth spending time on (specifically, how do I make it more interesting than all the other servers they could be spending time on--if I just copy what I've seen works, then I'll probably just have the same thing with less activity).

Worth mentioning my specific intention was to foster the sort of high quality discussion that is possibly unique to this website. So I guess I'm wondering if HN's recipe can be replicated, and what's the secret sauce. Strong rules and moderation? But the culture seems to play a big role too.

memfd_create's whole selling point is that it isn't backed by a filesystem; it isn't "on" one in the first place, so there is nowhere for it to inherit such restrictions from. The consequences of that can be surprising though, I agree, and are worth exploring and writing about.

I think considering RSS as the solution ignores the upsides that algorithms do have, that of analyzing behavior, it's almost interactive.

The problem of course is what the algorithms are generally tuned towards. Imagine instead a sort of open source algorithm where you're in control of how you want to tune your goals.

I often dream of this, the highest technology with in depth behavior analysis, but in service of each individual user instead of the tech overlords and its army of advertisers.
Digits/MNIST is a very, very bad dataset for CV demos because it's too easy and like done here, you can do a logistic regression on raw pixel values and get sufficiently good results. That's also the reason why Fashion MNIST was created, to give ML demos some difficulty: https://github.com/zalandoresearch/fashion-mnist

For more typical image classification problems, you can get >90% of the way for image classification on any arbitrary image dataset and with much less code by using CLIPVision image embeddings as a model input to your classification algorithm of choice.

Hi. I like the concept but could not figure out what this app does before I read your comment. I am familiar with the concept of a "drop" in modern music but didn't immediately associate it with the feature. An example or a more detailed description could be helpful.
The difference I'm referring to is "requires" vs "ships with".

As to whether a requirement is typical or not, I am frustrated by local maximum thinking. If your tooling cannot build an ambitious project, then you're not going to build an ambitious project.

I actively try to spend my finite time on ambitious projects in general. You don't need LiveView or StimulusReflex to build a landing page, that's true. But if you're building an ambitious real-time web app, the range of complexity where it makes sense to use HTMX instead of a full-stack solution gets smaller very quickly.
Valve inventing a portable game runtime that just works on all Linux distros without game studios needing an entire department to handle the dependency hell of Linux NIHisn would solve that issue.
> In comparison wouldn't electrical computers then also be able to simulate all electrical effects in O(1) Time?

Yes and OpAmps / analog electrical circuits were way faster than digital computers for decades because of this.

When you know that the current of a diode is related to the exponent of the diode's voltage, you can do silly things like calculate logarithms using OpAmps and diodes in a mere nanosecond or so.

Most 1980s synths used OpAmps as the basis of the math / calculations for signal processing, because digital computers just weren't fast enough to compete yet. Those circuits still work today.

Alas, digital computers are too cheap, accurate, and fast these days so nearly everything is digital now.

----------

I guess your point though is that maybe a quantum computer (or OpAmp / electrical computer) can only physically simulate the effects that the hardware contains.

Ex: an electrical computer cannot simulate BJTs unless it has a BJT somewhere. So it would still come down to the computers physical load out.

Similarly, a Quantum simulation on a quantum simulation computer would only have some subset of primitives implemented.

Should just abandon the fully automated self driving venture, especially in crowded urban areas.

Waymo cars have a shit ton of sensors, cameras, audio sensors, dedicated battery, cpu, cooling systems. Yet even that system is not perfect. Requires a human behind the wheel.

Let’s not forget the Cruise debacle. Tesla system is just a straight up disaster. That system is not worth the price tag.

Stop investing in cars. Let’s reinvest in the urban core, rollback the terrible car infrastructure that has invaded this country, and put significant federal/state/local dollars into public infrastructure and redesign of cities.

I traveled to NYC recently and using the public transportation system was amazing. No need to rent a car. Every destination was accessible by train/subway, ferry, or can rent an e-bike or walk there.

The only thing terrible about NYC was… the cars. Taxis and ride share drivers frequently running lights, blocking the intersections, or blocking the streets for emergency vehicles or commercial drivers. The noise pollution was mostly from drivers honking (whoever invented ANC, thanks bro).

Cars contributed heavily to the poor air quality as well. Tail pipe pollution. Noise pollution. Tire wear pollutants. Brake dust pollution. It was worse than the human contributed aspects.

End the trillions of dollars (indirectly and directly) given to building suburbs.
