Generally I'd suggest combining different messaging/streaming(ex: Kafka) & FaaS/serverless (ex: OpenFaaS, Fission, OpenWhisk) layers to achieve something like Async. Where-as Async seems to be a bit of both. I think over time we'll see streaming systems expand their footprint & keep eating away at the space pure FaaS occupies.

Apache Pulsar has been around for a while as a streaming system, and it does have a fairly significant Pulsar Functions layer which might make it a decent all in one candidate. (Pulsar in general feels like a much smarter lower-latency take on Kafka, allowing much more control/flexibility of where data gets backed/replicated/read from that makes it exceedingly more useful for "log/stream is the database" styles.)
https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/3.1.x/functions-overview/

There's so many up and coming streaming things here. Apache Ballista. Netflix's Mantis. RisingWave. A million years ago there was SOA; a startup I was at used Apache Camel. Benthos. Others. Many of these will decidedly remain more streaming oriented, not encroach on FaaS space, which is fine, but I think we'll see overlap grow. Reductionist, but a function call is "run this code when a function name and parameters happen" versus maybe "run this code when an event type happens", which seems not so far apart to me.
Jack Welch died before getting outsourced after driving GE into the ground, and there are lots of folks like him still alive, empowered, and with that belief system. These are the folks controls are needed against.
> I just can't see a coherent line of discussion here. What I see is a set line of conclusions that you want to support. Few of which really directly apply to the claims of this thread.

I spelled out for you what I would consider to be the best course of action for all parties. I'm not really sure what else I can do.

> Worse, even if your stance is predicated on all actors in the area being evil, there is a certain level you have to ignore to not see the cartoonish quality of "Death to America"

I don't have any issue with someone chanting "Death to America". In some parts of the world I can understand that level of hatred for the USA. I totally think their antisemitism is abhorrent however. To quote Col. Kurtz:

"We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "f**" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

We aid Saudi Arabia dropping bombs on them from the sky, I can't be too offended when their slogan is "death to the USA".

> to equivocate them with others in the area is borderline insulting.

Qatar has a population made up of 80% slaves. Israel was founded on ethnic displacement and is an apartheid state with no human rights, and is actively doing a genocide right now. The extremist elements in Israel are actively in power. I consider them to be the Jewish equivalent of US white nationalists. I don't think I need to list out the human rights violations of every country in order to make the point that all states are immoral.

> And again, if you can't bring positive reasons to support one group, decrying "look at how evil everyone else is" is a deflection.

I don't support groups, I support moral actions (Not that my opinion matters in the great scheme of things), but the course of action should not be about supporting the team that you think is less bad, but exploiting the relationships between the immoral states to achieve the least violent and most just outcome.

> You are refusing to actually engage with the declared evil intentions of one, by forcing a discussion on implied evil intentions of others.

The evil intentions of USA and Israel are not implied, they are stated and then acted on. You can listen to Netanyahu directly state his plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza under the protection of the US. You can also hear Joe Biden verbatim say "if there was no Israel in the middle east we would have to invent one. Why? Because it is in our own naked self interest."

https://theconversation.com/biden-says-the-u-s-would-have-to...

I think genocide and the funding of a genocide are evil. I also think Islamic terrorism is evil. However there is a path forward that involves all of the players communicating with each other to minimize bloodshed and maximize justice.

My intention has not been to apply whataboutisms to the Houthis, but to make the point that you have to be realistic and approach situations as they are, not as you wish they were. In my opinion, under this framework, the US will need to negotiate with the Houthis and stop Israel's genocide if they want to solve this problem in the best way possible.

"If such individuals exist, they represent a small minority and have not been identified yet." -> You should talk to them then.

A good blind study would be a EMF isolated room (shielded mesh, etc), a assistant you don't see (no visual or accustic cue at all) and a procedure you can repeat.

You go out, the assitant sets up the experiment (which is recorded, somehow EMF free), either activates an active EMF (perhaps constant file transfer, radio antenna etc.), the person leaves the room (the source is hidden), you enter, you wait x minutes (probably more than one), you either say yes or no and leave.

If you are clearly above random and you can show this result, you would be a good candidate for proper research.

Your assumption that you proof your EMF sensibility by recording the messurement after is way to unprecise. You might hold your EMF device wrong, ignore values, might have some visual or accustic cues etc.

What device do you use to messure EMF? What range? 5G has a broad spectrum, your sector antennas might send while you messure because someone is doing something close by etc.

> The American constitution says: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Does it? We may be reading different constitutions.
High seas is global commons. Any meaningful regulation / quota for potential enforcement is going to be on per capita basis (like emissions), in which case PRC significantly _underfishes_ relative to other top IUU violators. PRC would need to have distant fishing fleet of 60,000-120,000, or 20-40x times larger than current (3000-6000) to match per capita fleet of Taiwan (2000). Even if you take high end estimate of PRC DWF at 16000 that motivated actors use to bundle PRC fishing in their near shores (east/south seas, most of which are maritime militia that doesn't actually fish), they would still be "entitled" to 4x current fleet size. The reality is PRC has 20% of worlds population and limited EEZs so they're going to have to fish more in high seas / international waters for consumption and commerce. Unless one thinks PRC citizens aren't entitled to seafood or PRC fishers aren't entitled to a living.

Top fishing countries aren't going to agree to that (most of whom are US allies that media doesn't report on despite having comparable suspicious activities in same distant regions PRC operates in). The only reason PRC fishing got media play / propaganda push in the last few years is US wanted to beef up influence of pacific nations playing up PRC fishing so they can drive the issue to forward deploy coast guard and build influence. It's geopolitical lawfare, and it's unlikely to do anything substantive because any agreement by PRC on curtailing distant fishing would be on per capita basis which would first involve everyone else (JP,SKR,TW etc) to essentially kill their entire fishing industry before PRC would even need to make any cuts. Someone else pointed out the SUV analogy when it comes to global warmning which is apt.

No, it's not. For starters because it's new, and second it's not a given it'd be useful for CPUs at all. Caches are used in all kinds of places, not just CPUs. E.g. operating systems, content delivery networks, databases, reverse web caches. There's a huge number of places for different kinds of cache algorithms, and the tradeoffs that works best varies a great deal depending on workloads and requirements (e.g. whether worst case latency, average latecy, or hit rate, or any number of other factors matters most)

Is using Lambda with an external data store (like MongoDB) a solved problem?

I remember this being an issue a long time ago, where Lambda pretty much was a non starter for use cases where you're running 1000 independent tasks that each, on their own, is a small unit of work (just 1 or 2 database queries).

Long way of asking: is there a way to share a database connection between lambda functions or does each run need to re-establish / re-authenticate a new connection with the database?

Elsewhere described as low current. That's 43A per burner, and 4 of them. Just two burners running is more than my 6 bed detached house's entire grid supply is fused for.

Even if you smooth that out with massive super caps and local battery storage, I don't think my pans are going to last long doing that intensity.

Yes, Apple is supporting older devices, but has made my SE 2020 nearly unusable (slow as hell, horrible UI bugs when typing) after updating to iOS 17. Everything worked perfectly until then.

From having talked to Facebook engineers (I suspect Instagram/Threads is a very different beast for historical reasons), Facebook is only built on "PHP and MySQL" in the sense that the statement is technically correct but not helpful.

The way Facebook apparently uses MySQL is not "MySQL + k/v store" but "MySQL is the k/v store". Forget SQL, they treat it as a key-value lookup and it's good enough for that. This also explains a lot of oddities coming out of FB engineering open source that at times look like they're trying to roll their own database on top of ... well, a database.

I wouldn't go to Facebook for architecture advice unless you have both the scale of Facebook and the technological baggage of Facebook. I'm not sure how transferrable this writeup about Threads is either given that Threads is so strongly tied to Instagram (although EU legislation seems to have motivated Meta at least to no longer require users to delete their Instagram account in order to delete their Threads profile).

Armin from Sentry here. We posted an update to our blog about the terms of service change: https://blog.sentry.io/ai-privacy-and-terms-of-service-updat...

I'm posting the update here for visibility:

----

Hey everyone. We’ve gotten your feedback and heard your concerns; we were less than artful in expressing our intentions. Many of the things that people are worried about are not things that we plan to pursue, and we should have been more clear.

First off, we’re going to delay the effective date of our TOS change indefinitely until we’ve satisfied the shared concerns.

As part of these changes, we agree that we need to provide a better consent mechanism for many of our customers. When reviewing this, we quickly realized the majority of what we’re looking to accomplish (e.g. improving our fingerprinting heuristics) is being clouded by the less understood hypothetical investments we’d like to explore.

We will not push customers to agree now to use cases that are not well-defined or understood. Rather, we commit to offering a consent mechanism for those future hypothetical use cases when we can clearly define them so customers have the opportunity to evaluate whether the feature is valuable enough to them to contribute their data. That could include, for example, a system which might use customer data to train a large language model. Additionally, we’re exploring an opt-out mechanism for other uses of data, such as training a heuristic model to better group errors together. While the implications of these two applications are very different, we understand customers’ desire for more control in how their data is used.

We need some time to explore what these changes would look like and how we would implement them in a way that stays true to protecting our customers.

Thanks for bearing with us.

States invent a legal framework that they can use to differentiate their civilian casualties from the civilian casualties of other groups they refuse to acknowledge.

That is what I mean by the state monopoly on violence. You can't legally beat your neighbor. A cop can. You can't shoot protestors, a national guardsmen may be able to.

The state devises a legal framework to justify its violence. Operating within this framework is designated as "peacekeeping action" or "law enforcement". Operating outside of it becomes "violence". Even though the actions are the exact same. It's all just kind of arbitrary is my point.
I still maintain that the Mario Maker series could be absolutely brilliant if Nintendo would invest in better discovery algorithms and searchability. The pool is going to be flooded with garbage, and rightfully so given that kids love to play and make things too. There's nothing wrong with that, but in the end it means you've fallen into a tough situation where the internal discovery tools don't work, and the only way for a level to be "discovered" is for an influencer to find it.

I doubt you can ever build a perfect fix for this, but it could be a lot better than it is right now. Unfortunately it's just an abandoned project at this point, and the inevitable Mario Maker 3 will likely just have the same issues.

I believe there are many specialized insurance opportunities. Things that are not insured today, but we found customers willing to pay or switch from the current offer, which was terrible.

For example, pet insurance in some markets is very underpenetrated. Similar to expensive hobby items.

Currently it’s fairly common that a lot of flight data is logged during the flight, and transmitted to a server via 4G when on ground.

It doesn’t help when the aircraft gets destroyed, but it does create fairly big databases for analysis and preventive maintenance.
What's always strange about WiFi certification is that to get a certification you have to drop old protocols.

After they deprecated WEP and TKIP you couldn't earn certification if you supported them, which left a whole generation of equipment SOL. I think we just enabled WEP and TKIP anyway, because bad security > no security.

Just like every door doesn't need an ANSI grade 1 lock, not all communications need super secure encryption.

I set my clocks to 24 hours whenever possible. I started doing this because it is easier for me at work and that just carried over.

I don’t think anyone is resisting the idea of a 24 hour clock. It’s more likely they are just sticking with what they know and have bigger problems than thinking about how they keep time.
oh ffs, the fact that it's only 2 hours remains stupid: these same aircraft are sold in the eu that apparently requires more than that, it's clearly not some hard engineering problem, presumably someone doesn't want to pay $50 more per aircraft.

But add to that the requirement that pilots have to remember to pull the CVR fuse to stop it overwriting, and then the malicious case where pilots have seemingly intentionally pulled the CVR fuse prior to illegal actions in order to disguise those actions, this is clearly a beyond brain dead system.

The local recording should be more than two hours, but these days there's no justification for it not also being continuously uploaded.
Is it a noise issue? If you take a newer open-air style card and lower the power limit it should be fairly quiet and still much faster than what you've got. You can also tinker with limiting the clock speed and maybe get even lower, enough that you could take the fans off.
AI is merely exposing how insane copyright law is.

Using public facing data for training is exactly as legal as looking at that data yourself. An AI regurgitating information is exactly as legal as a human doing it. If you are allowed to - in a public square - recite from memory an article you read on the internet... if that is legal: then an AI doing the equivalent must also legal.

This is a truth: because (to reiterate a basic fact) the training data (the text) simply does not exist in the LLM. What does exist is a set of weights and biases that are a representation of that data (a model). To say a model even is reciting data is inaccurate...

With that said - big companies are not your friend - open source development of AI is the only way to go. Transparency is key to healthy development.
Medicine as a career offers immense personal fulfillment, variety, human interaction, and prestige at the expense of dealing with difficult outcomes and ranges of personal sacrifice -- neurosurgery as a specialty just takes all of these to their extremes.
