It's a bit pompous to imply real life is anything like an RTS game, the latter of which removes a lot of tedious, real-world restrictions. But enjoy your smug attitude as you sit back and know better than people working in the energy field.

> I think a lot of non-tech events like D&D/running/board games/birdwatching/crafts/etc. now have left Meetup or never were there. I see a lot of these types of events promoted on Instagram and sometimes Facebook, because there's a bigger audience there. There are still some on my local Meetup, though.

Perhaps that's why I no longer see them, I've deleted most of my social media so I don't have access to FB or IG for events.

True, it definitely would count, at least more so than COD:Mobile.
You're assuming power comes with an assumed guarantee of use. OpenAI has vast amounts of power with the data they're collecting, but the likelihood of OpenAI using it against any individual is small enough that an individual could consider it to be outside their threat model (I'm speaking using security language, but I doubt most people go so far as to threat model these interactions; it's mostly intuitive at this point).

Your family has limited power in the grand scheme of things, but the likelihood that they may leverage what power you give them over you is much higher.

The IRS has vast power and is likely to use it against you, hence why tax fraud is usually a bad idea.

Hence "planar" rather than linear.

The thing that you initially said was, as I interpreted, that there’s a very large difference between no sewage and a little, since a low concentration is still dangerous. The response to you pointed out that we already have sewage in the supply, implying it may not make a huge difference to add more. I feel like you’re goalpost moving.
How to Implement Cloud Agnostic Architecture for My Business?
Hi all!

I recently came across an intriguing article about the benefits and best practices of building a cloud agnostic architecture. The article highlights the importance of developing applications that can run on any cloud platform without significant changes to their architecture or code. This seems particularly relevant in today's context, where enterprises increasingly rely on cloud technologies and need to avoid being locked into a single cloud service provider.

I have a few questions about implementing this approach into my business. Specifically, what specific steps and technologies should be used to create a cloud agnostic architecture? What are the main challenges and risks associated with moving to such an architecture, and how can they best be mitigated?

Additionally, what best practices and tools would you recommend to companies looking to implement cloud-agnostic infrastructure? Any advice or real-life examples would be greatly appreciated.

For those who are interested in details, I have attached the link

Thanks in advance for your help and ideas!

The domain knowledge embodied in JOOQ is kind of daunting. Truly huge.

Of the current SQL client API tools, mine is most like sqlc. Mine's major improvement, IMHO of course; but concept and workflow are comparable.

What do you think of paying to use such a tool for builds? eg Deployed to a CI/CD pipeline.

Free to use for sql-fiddle, personal, desktop, FOSS, etc. But once a project starts to use a tool for "real work", that's proof of value. Right?

This reminds me of my dad talking about how amazing it was when time-sharing became a thing at UWaterloo. He'd talk about how batch-processing was such a pain when you'd discover some tiny error and have to get back in line, and how with time-sharing you could show up at 3am and have an entire PDP to yourself.

I often hear on HN how Apple's lockdown of iOS is justified because grandma/grandpa need it that way. The only grandpa I've ever seen featured in an Apple product presentation is Tim Cook.
It may also have to do with the fact that the refreshed Model 3 is now available for order in the US, and the Model Y is probably not too far away. I feel like the used market is about to be flooded with those cars, tanking resale value. (which has already dropped substantially)

Resale value is a big aspect of rental car companies' profitability models.

Drive it like a rental and don't destroy it, and you get away with murder.

A lot of the "don't do this" rules on a rental are just so they can stick your insurance with the cost if you break it.

In reality, if the damage is very slight and the person checking them in doesn't want to do the paperwork, it's going to slide.

If you do drive off-road in a rental, wash it before returning it.
That’s not how HN works, individuals are slowed by IP, there is no “slow a specific conversation”, but thanks for making it clear you’ve been flagged by dang as a troll.

"no one wants nuclear" is not exactly the conclusion of the last COP.
Several countries agreed to triple the electricity produced by nuclear.

But you are correct, that some EU countries lost their source or natural gas (Nord stream 1 & 2 blowed up in 2022) and cannot transition on a whim and so needs gas (liquefied since all previous pipes are not working).
Ah okay I think I just imagined that cause it wouldn’t make much sense anyways. Not sure why I thought I saw that.

> no intrinsic reason why their predictions should be any good

This is where the "generaly credible" bit comes in. They're good forecasters in other domains. Part of being a good forecaster is adjusting as you make errors. So we'd need a hypothesis for why they wouldn't be making those adjustments.

As a trivial example, Hoekstra's chart shows the WEO serially predicting false plateaus between 2006 and 2018. Those plateaus are no longer the case for the IEA's solar predictions [1].

Again, not rejecting that this may be undershooting reality. But if your only evidence is past performance, that's likely oversimplistic.

The entire 'Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman' book is just an incredible read.
The USD was a 'commodity currency' up until 1971 thanks to Bretton Woods. It was convertible to gold at a fixed rate, and other currencies were, in turn, pegged to the USD. The idea was to have the stability/security of a backed currency, with the convenience of a fiat one. The security was intended to come from the fact that if the US printed too many dollars, devaluing the USD, then other countries would buy up those dollars and convert them to gold - both making profit, and punishing poor fiscal behavior.

It was a self-protecting system. The problem is it assumed the US would keep to its word. Instead we got everybody hooked on the USD, started printing a bunch of money anyhow, and then just defaulted on our obligations when other countries tried to convert it to gold, and withdrew from Bretton Woods. This led to the famous quote from Nixon's Treasury Secretary: "The dollar is our currency, but your problem."

So you're only looking from 1971 onward. This not only doesn't look especially pretty [1] in countless sociopolitical aspects, but the tremendous economic gains we have seen can also be largely attributed to a complete tech explosion that reshaped the entire world's economy, which we ended up being the natural epicenter of owing to a relatively large population, English being the defacto global language of science, and the fact that we were left entirely untouched by WW2.

The current completely free floating global fiat experiment may end up being the shortest lived economic experiment in our entire history should it turn out that we're just blowing up the mother of all bubbles. And it sure does feel that way!

centralizing would be using HTMX and authoritative servers.

local-first is more decentralized as your clients can sync directly with each other (or through a dumb proxy for NAT punching)

I see no need for servers to be anything but dumb proxies for clients. Not the opposite of making clients dumb terminals.
I can imagine soon - within the next year or so - that business emails will simply be AI talking to AI. Especially with Microsoft pushing their copilot into Office and Outlook.

You'll need to email someone so you'll fire up Outlook with its new Clippy AI and tell it the recipient and write 2 or 3 bullet points of what you want it to include. Your AI will write the email, including the greeting and all the pleasantries ("hope this email finds you well", etc) with a wordy 3 or 4 paragraphs of text, including a healthy amount of business-speak.

Your recipient will then have an email land in their inbox and probably have their AI read the email and automatically summarise those 3 or 4 paragraphs of text into 3 or 4 bullet points that the recipient then sees in their inbox.
> The idea that people who are healthy, secure, and mentally resilient don't tend to have crippling addictions is not terribly controversial

I suspect the implied cause and effect is underlying that. A belief that "healthy, secure, and mentally resilient" leads to "no crippling addictions" is hard to quantitatively show. Most likely the causation is reversed: we define someone with a crippling addiction as "unhealthy or mentally unresilient".

I certainly have multiple addicts (especially smokers and drinkers) within my own peer group of healthy, secure, and mentally resilient people.

Not to excuse the post office or the UK legal system-- but there are reasons your point has limitations.

The subpostmasters were signing statements that their accounts were accurate, their charges were mostly related to these sorts of collateral lies rather than the theft. So in a uselessly pedantic and literal sense they often had performed the wrongful act they were accused of, though this ignores that they were more or less forced into it and sometimes explicitly told by tech support to do so.

In specific cases the financially disabled and often unrepresented subpostmasters made legal errors. For example, instead of defending themselves by responding that the Horizon figures were inaccurate they defended themselves by saying they could prove they didn't take the funds from their own books. Essentially allowing the burden of proof to be reversed.

I started using OpenSSH in OpenBSD 2.6, released in 1999, and I don't believe I've ever even used a DSA key. Here's a quote from the release notes of OpenSSH 1.2.3, released March 6, 2000:

"Any user can create any number of user authentication RSA keys for his/her own use. Each user has a file which lists the RSA public keys for which proof of possession of the corresponding private key is accepted as authentication. User authentication keys are typically 1024 bits."

ECDSA key authentication was added in OpenSSH 5.7, released in January 2011:

https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.7

Ed25519 key authentication was added in OpenSSH 6.5, released in January 2014:

https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5

And RSA support has been around since the beginning.

I think the overlap between "must use DSA keys" and "uses modern OpenSSH" is practically zero, and the level of pushback in this thread doesn't correspond to reality.
No, the acceleration phase is only for a few minutes. (I agree with you that if it requires 100 GW of power for years, his criticism would be accurate.) After a few minutes, the probe is already so far away from Earth that you can't focus the lasers effectively on it.
"How much do you cook for yourself instead of eating out when you live alone? Now multiply it by 4 and ask if you still want to do it."

I've basically always cooked for myself. You're not really multiplying it by 4. You might be multiplying the recipe by 4, but that's generally trivial. And, yes I still do it.

"Doing laundry takes also 4x more time and children make a lot of mess."

Sure, but it's not that much time to start with when the machines do the majority of the work. Then it's just folding and putting away. This is typically a chore that older children should be doing for themselves, and the younger ones have smaller clothes sizes, so it's not really 4x, but maybe 3x since they take up less of a load. There are also differences in how people choose to deal with the mess. Most kids do not need multiple changes every day except for the vanity of the parent wanting them to look really clean. They will get some food or dirt stains, and that should be expected for little kids. This is also the part where we need to acknowledge that the responsibility for the kids is also half of the doers responsibility anyways. So their added responsibility isn't that high.

"But we are discussing about historical differences here where families were even larger and there were no household appliances."

I completely understand that from a historical perspective, just as it was historically the man's sole responsibility to provide financially. I'm saying it shouldn't be a major factor today as long as one person isn't a complete freeloader. I'm also pointing out the differences of opinion, such as quadrupling a recipe vs cooking actually being 4x as long.

The point is that you are not a reliable judge of what is evil and thus not a reliable judge of what should not be tolerated.

Since apparently it still isn't clear to you what they're saying, Nazis, like many other authoritarian regimes, punished criticism of them. That has the exact same logic as yours, they think they're doing the right thing, thus criticizing them is promoting evil and thus should be shut down (another very visible example of this would be the various forms of "hurt sentiments" related issues in various Asian countries). This is why "intolerance of intolerance" is a fallacy. It presumes that those being accused of intolerance are doing it in bad faith rather than out of a genuine belief that they are doing the right thing.
Rolex mostly makes good typeface decisions (largely sticking with what has worked for decades), but modern Explorer numeral indices are awful. Explorer ref 1016 from the 60s is a design icon and nearly perfect, which just makes the current poor choices stand out all the more.

Seems like a good case for using wind or wave power which would presumably provide max power during a storm when solar provides less power. Of course, I suppose a bad storm could also damage these forms of energy generation as well.
Hardly surprising. Ever since the barrier to production/publication/distribution was dropped to very low (15ish? years ago) the SNR on available books has been terrible. LLMs are making the 1st part even lower effort, at least for trash, so the noise is going to increase by an order of magnitude at least.

Current discoverability outside people-you-actually know seems to be in a nosedive, so it's hard to see this getting better any time soon.
