Do you reject Kafka because it runs on the JVM? This is a ludicrous position to take. You may not want to fund development of projects when you're forced to train devs to work them, but to reject using technologies based on the programming language / framework is just fundamentally flawed. Don't use Python tools because I hate python. Don't use kubernetes because it's golang don't use AWS because it has a bunch of java services. S3? I'm not entirely sure but I wouldn't be surprised if it was java edge service based as well.

Yeah, it's probably not a great idea to pay developers with the donation money. I am not sure why I thought it was acceptable, but it is obvious now why this is a terrible idea.

Prolific devs could setup a Patreon/Librepay if they'd like, but that opens up its own can of worms like false expectations/entitlement of some donators. They might prefer not to do that for that reason alone.

It doesn't cover everything, but I liked "High Performance Browser Networking" by Ilya Grigorik. It was very straightforward, and focused on what's relevant today in the browser. However, that "today" was 11 years ago already (huh, time flies) and didn't cover what's relevant in 2024, like practical issues of dealing with CDN. Also, it really was browser-focused, so there wasn't anything on how VPNs work and such.

Danes, Norwegians*, Swedes, and Finns will have the opinions that their governments tell them to have. Pretty much everywhere in the world and at any year of history, the average citizen will say that his government/president/king/warlord/chairman/pope is the best that has ever been. So "popular opinion" doesn't mean much.
But who gets to decide this? How do you prevent people from making new unapproved technology and using it?

Couldn't agree more. I always return to the following quote [1] from Marvin Minsky, who's an intellectual hero of mine:

> Most people think that accomplishments like [those of geniuses] require "talents" or "gifts" that cannot be explained… [but] I suspect that genius needs… unusually effective ways to learn. It’s not enough to learn a lot; one also has to manage what one learns. Those masters have, beneath the surface of their mastery, some special knacks of “higher-order” expertise, which help them organize and apply the things they learn. It is those hidden tricks of mental management that produce the systems that create those works of genius.

> assessed based on the value added to average persons life, vs. the overall cost to society and the planet.

Cost presupposes value. If I'm the buyer in a transaction, I am trading value in exchange for value. The 'cost' is value that I am parting with.

I'm making this pedantic argument to say "cost to society or the planet" is the same as saying that "society" and "the planet" value things, and that those values are at odds with what the individual values.

The concept of "value" presupposes the question "of value to whom and for what?" Only individual people can value things. "Society" is just an arbitrarily defined group of individuals, each with their own values. So at best, what "society" values is what the majority of the individuals within that group value. And "the planet" is a rock. It values nothing.

While I don't think it's your intent, this word game (what "society values") is often used as a sneaky way of justifying transferring value from certain individuals to other individuals. Whoever gets to "represent society" gets to place their values first and claim that it's OK to target the individuals that are "costing society."

The way to approach the issue of social media causing damage is to demonstrate that it is providing a dis-value to all individuals and that each and every individual has healthier alternatives that they can choose that present a greater net value. In some extreme cases, if there is no healthy alternative, and the majority of individuals decide that the dis-value is great enough, they may vote to pass legislation to make the "thing" in question either more expensive or illegal ... such as with the case of tobacco for example.

Hatchet – open-source workflow engine for Go applications
Hey HN - over the past few months, I’ve been working on Hatchet, which is a workflow engine for Go applications. In particular, the goal is to make it easier to build event-based systems — workflows are triggered by user-defined events (along with predefined schedules and cron jobs).

Docs: https://docs.hatchet.run

And a quickstart repo: https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet-go-quickstart

TL;DR - Hatchet lets you:

1. Schedule and run your Go methods, useful for background jobs and batch processing

2. Publish, react to, and query events using the Events API [1]

3. Replace your task queue (internally, Hatchet uses RabbitMQ, with support for a more lightweight Postgres-based task queue on the roadmap)

There's lots still to build, but would love to hear any feedback so far.

If you even have a remote chance of running in this race I recommend you go. I raced in 2006 and 2007 and it was by far the most fun you can have on four wheels, and the people are just amazing and welcoming. When you are racing a car you care very little about you experience real racing and it equates to real fun. One of the best things I have ever done.
mdns is a right pain as it uses the range for local subnet only, and has a TTL of 1, so you can't just pim route it round your network like normal multicast. You need a device which will reflect messages between all the different vlans -- avahi-daemon is popular
Did my first lemons race in 2023, it was amazing.

Some great things about lemons:

- you need a team, so instead of having to figure out all the stuff yourself (the race car, getting the car to the track, etc.) you'll have motivated people to help you

- because the goal is to still be running at the end of the 2nd day, drivers mostly look out for one another on track

- other teams are super helpful to newbs. Our neighbor in the pits welded up a spot on our cage, we ended up borrowing tools and safety equipment from 3-4 different teams, and we got lots of quality advice

- the rules and culture of the series help keep costs down as much as seems possible
All good points, especially about the risk of leaks on the material. I've also heard anecdotally that framing is the cheapest part of the house.
I know the various social media companies supposedly optimize for engagement and angry posts supposedly do best as that ...

I can't imagine an entirely neutral social media platform would be any different.

people are going to follow whoever engages them the most. the inventives, regardless of the algorithms used, are exactly the same. no manipulation by the social media companies required. all that's needed is a public voice and followers

The article is miserably unclear as to whether YouTube's "Verification" badges (on the scam videos) were asserting that the videos were verified as being posted by Steve Wozniak, or by $Shady_Scammer_Company_Name.

It isn't whataboutism to point out the propaganda-like language being used when the higher level comment this descends from is about propaganda-sounding language. There is so much endless Russian boogyman shit flying around and while yes, the Russian invasion is horrific and awful, and it's massively frustrating for people to be so overwhelmingly critical of it being Russian specific while completely ignorant of the US having done things that look almost identical for 30+ years.

Claiming these bad things as Russian specific is flat out wrong, harmful to the discourse, and massively lacking awareness.

You also make a claim with zero support. Here's mine:

The 90% number is a pretty accurate number for modern wars in general: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/30823/qc7809568enc.pdf (ctrl F 90%)

For Iraq specifically, the number calculated by one group is 77% civilians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio#Iraq_W...

Google for yourself, there's tons of information to corroborate this. Other US wars have much worse figures.

Your tone is frustrating especially given the appearance of hypocrisy when calling someone ignorant when there's easily verifiable evidence if you put in any effort to look. I don't see the need to be nasty to me like that especially when your bold black and white claim is so very clearly wrong.

Apparently Fujitsu could log in and change the live data on a subpostmaster's system remotely and they frequently did this to make corrections.

Capitalism (an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit) was invented prior to written history so the reformation only exists in the context of private property being a core assumption of society. That assumption is NEW in the history of humanity, the concept of "property" has only existed for about 50,000 years

The protestant reformation then was an attempt to wrest property away from the catholic organization and distribute it. The goal being to eliminate the primary economic organization and "democratize" it.

The concept of hoarding property flowed from scarcity anxieties that are only socially maintained and hoarding property is the root issue

Looking at my nephews, it’s highly unlikely to happen. From what they’ve told me, if you’re not online and at least aware of the “latest trends”, you become an outcast in school. Their way of trying to be less cringe and protesting is just being on “less mainstream apps”. Which yields the same results but with different colors. Not having any social media is also pretty awful as you’ll just be an outsider again. I wish there was some sort of a national effort where parents would unite and not let their children be on social media.
I guess I'm saying that if there are reproducibility problems without the weights, then there's still a reproducibility problem with them. A paper with weights that magically work, when training on the same data and algorithm doesn't work is a paper that isn't reproducible.

IMO, having the weights available sometimes just papers over a deeper issue.

This seems to have some parallels with durable execution engines like Temporal which have deterministic concepts of time and use event sourcing or snapshotting to ensure the past remains the past but allow you to evolve code for the future (disclaimer I work at Temporal).

Have you considered this approach to apply to more than time? There is all sorts of conditional-based divergence code may take beyond time.

That's why they call it "Buy the Rumor, Sell the News"
I think the wide gist of this point is correct, but then you're going and doing something a lot of people responding are also doing, which is ignoring the finding and pointing to specific historical factors that apply to your country.

The only real constant I can see across all countries is increasing interconnectedness, human movement, and rate of change. Kids increasingly find themselves living in a world far different from their parents and even more radically different from their grandparents. Laws, culture, school, and parenting all can't adapt quickly enough. If social media is doing anything on its own, it's the same as what regular media was doing but bigger and faster. More information is coming at you from more directions, your parents and family don't know about it, it's increasingly less trustworthy (compare viral Tweet to Nighttime News to wisdom handed down from a grandparent), the perspectives are increasingly divorced and different from what your family or culture would have presented to you.

It's a lot. None of it is necessarily bad. But it's a lot. If dealing with anything at all presents a challenge, then dealing with more of it presents more of a challenge. The threats humans face are increasingly benign, threats to beliefs and identity even as health, hunger, and survival are mostly taken care of. But there are nonetheless more of them and they come at you faster, at least if you stay connected and pay attention, and the human psyche is not equipped to deal with that. We do well with one major threat every few days that is familiar. It may be a tiger lurking in the trees that can kill us, but we know they're there and there aren't a lot of them. Four mean kids at school can't kill you, but they may torment you every single day. A social media feed full of bad events, people telling you the world is terrible, people telling you your culture is terrible, whatever it is, may be "words" rather than sticks and stones, but even if they hurt less, they do hurt, and there are so many more of them. Think of differences in experience from living on an island with a few giant predators who might attack once a month on average, mostly in a specific season, and you're good all the rest of the time, compared to being perpetually covered in mosquitoes and rats. It's breaking a leg but healing compared to chronic pain that never goes away.

Modern life, first with newspapers and cities, then with schools and office politics and rat races, then with 24 hour news cycles and political horseraces, now with social media, and trending toward the latter. The threats are individually tiny but there are so damn many of them that people feel overwhelmed if they can't step back and disconnect.

This is true everywhere and has nothing to do with unions disappearing or the breakdown of family values in the US. These are just the manifestations of modernity as they happened here, but something analogous and equally anxiety inducing happened somewhere else.

A remarkably large number of minerals (I've heard estimates as high as 2/3 of all mineral forms) are produced via microbiological activity, e.g. selective oxidation, precipitation, etc. A famous example is the natural uranium reactor Oklo from 2 billion years ago (Congo), formed most likely by microbial precipitation of uranium from seepage water. Today people are investigating the use of microbial uranium precipitation to clean up mine tailings, accident sites, waste leakage etc. from the nuclear sector:

Looking at your extension's contentScript.js, some questions come to mind:

1. Do you really send all the user's ChatGPT conversations to your `token_emissions` AWS endpoint?

2. Why not run the carbon emission's calculations on the user device? How do you even compute these?

3. How does all this this match your extensions' privacy description ("We value your privacy. It calculates the carbon footprint without storing or analyzing the content of your queries.")?

4. Why do you write "It considers factors such as [...] model type", which it clearly does not?

Also, your extension's description is 100% AI-written, so please blink twice if this is not a scam.

Yep. Rock's dominant days were numbered when MTV decided to go all-in on rap at a time that rock was still outselling it.
