I really want AVX512 on my AMD system (aka: 7xxx series) for maximum irony. So my upgrade will probably be that 7xxx series, probably 7800x3d.

This was a feature I thought would appear on mainstream Intel systems first for the longest time. But no, Intel decided to leave it on higher-end Xeons only...
It's hard to believe that the earth goes around the sun!

Yes, there is lots of destruction. Yes, that's regrettable. No, that doesn't mean Israel is carpet bombing.
> still needs some improvement for that.

"still" ? This isn't even in the purview of current technology, afaik.
If you consider the serpent from the garden to be Satan, then the Bible. It gave humans knowledge after all while God forbade it.

This story has always reminded me of the story of Prometheus. Both were punished by gods for their gifts to humanity.
The sound made my mind bounce off this. I don't know why but I found the audio caused an anxiety response.

(For me, much better on mute)
They hired 800 engineers to create the soundboard. That is basically the only notable feature in the last 4 years.
either you've never had kids, or you had the incrediblly good fortune to have found them a daycare that required little or no departure from your normal work commute. Or you had a stay-at-home nanny or similar arrangement, which I would put up there in the incredibly good fortune category.
Satan has a very strong meaning in Islam and other religions. This would not be possible in France or UK.
I don't see why such a flag is necessary when you can always use an old version of the software instead. That's your flag. Otherwise they would never drop support for anything ever, which seems less than ideal. Something simply existing in the code incurs a maintenance cost.
What makes you think that's happened to Apple yet. Their product ecosystem still feels cohesively designed to me, and the new Macbooks have been a fantastic bit of category leading work.
There are underpowered languages / tools, that can only solve a problem for which they are intended poorly. But not all limited tools are like that.

Say, eBPF is prominently not Turing-complete, which allows to guarantee that a eBPF program terminates, and even how soon. Still eBPF is hugely useful in its area.

Or, say, regular expressions are limited to regular languages; in particular, they famously [1] cannot process recursive structures, like trees. Still tools like grep / ag / rg are mightily useful.

Yes, I agree that YAML is underpowered for proper k8s configuration! But it's also too powerful for its own good in other aspects [2]. I wish Google used Dhall [3] or their own purely functional config language (FCL? I already forgot the name) instead of YAML; sadly, they did not.

Consensus viewpoint is that population stability or (modest) growth is probably ideal from a long-term economics perspective. If fertility rates were sky high, you wouldn't need to incentivize parenting as much to achieve that outcome.
So you never traveled with your EVs and used them only between places you either knew had a sure place to recharge or didn't have to because they were in range to come back home?
I didn’t say the product was separate; I merely asked whether you view everything as tainted if its supply chain has any unethical component. Sounds like you do!
If it weren't painful, then not running in a container locally would just be adding pointless differences between dev and production environments, which is always asking for trouble.
It makes no sense to you because you're seeing it from the inside as a developer.

Step outside the echo chamber and realize macro-economic trends have replaced the need to innovate with a basic instinct to just survive the coming storm caused by a decade of free money.
> I think either full on socialism or fully free market would be a huge improvement.

Demand for healthcare is about as inelastic as it gets. And inelastic goods make for inefficient markets. One doesn't need to be a full-on communist to recognize that markets are not the correct solution to every problem.

Meanwhile, the fact that healthcare is tied to employment in the US has terrible consequences for small businesses and for the efficiency of the labor market. From where I stand, socializing healthcare is the pro-business move.
I wonder where the execs got hold of those things. Did they buy it on eBay and have it shipped from a seller? Or did they go and put a dead pig in a box themselves? Messed up either way, and good that an end was put to their harassment of the bloggers.
I remember some interview (probably from YouTube) from something like the late 70s/early 80s where Prince is excoriating his contract because the album cost more than the advance.

How to Integrate Feature Flags with GitHub for Efficient Development Workflows?
I think that any claim required evidence and pumped storage is included.

We visited the "Power Vista" near Niagara falls (US side) where they have 13 turbines driven off the water that would otherwise fall over a cliff. What I did not previously know was that the facility includes pumped storage. There is a reservoir above the generator turbines that they can pump water into from the supply of water that would normally drive the turbines. I questioned the staff about this - particularly if it fit into the expansion of solar and wind. I don;t understand the answers I got.

* The station used to be base loaded but no longer is. That makes no sense to me unless they have to restrict flow to maintain a minimum flow over the falls.

* They don't use the pumped storage to store energy from other renewables (including the power station itself.) They will draw it down during the summer months to maintain the minimum flow over the falls.

It was interesting to see but I wonder why they don't run base loaded or make more use of the pumped storage. NB, I'm not an expert WRT generation of distributing load and I may not have been talking to the right people.
That was true before WFH became popular with the lockdown; I'm not convinced these are related phenomena. For one thing, an employee in the office generally isn't any more valuable than one working from home.
most existing tesla chargers are 400v (I believe the cybertruck is their first to use 800v), so for other fast charging cars (like kia/hyundai GMP based ev6/ioniq 5) you only get half the speed, so as they update this will start to fall away as an issue.
I don’t see how it can be 1000x more efficient. That would mean current LEDs are, at most, converting 0,1% of power input to light, and the rest to heat. That would make LEDs excellent space heaters, and would leave very, very little room for them being more efficient than incandescent light bulbs.
I want to do hardware development in an x86_64 Linux VM on a Mac. I work with closed source vendor tools that are only available as precompiled x86 binaries (it's FPGA development, everything is closed source).

Am I going to run into problems, either with performance of x86 code in a translator like Parallels, or with USB connections to the target hardware from within a virtual machine on M2/M3?
I don't like Musk, but I am also under no illusion that CEOs of other major car companies are any better. They may just hide their opinions a little better than Musk.

The reality is that Tesla aren't very good cars from both reliability, price and range perspective. Musk has done a brilliant job hyping the car, but reality starts setting in. For example, FSD will likely remain in beta for years.
In the UK, the company I was working for laid off about half the dev team but made them work their six(!) months notice.

It’s not uncommon in finance to have ludicrously long notice periods, but conventionally you are just put on gardening leave as the purpose of it is for your knowledge to go out of date.

However, the company was in such dire straits that they couldn’t afford to just pay people to do nothing for six months and thought it would be a good idea to have them work out their notice. It wasn’t. Those people did sweet FA during their notice and were actively harmful to the company culture for obvious reasons.

I don’t think making it completely impersonal is great either, but it’s best for everyone to end things quickly rather than hanging around.
Thanks for posting @mieubrisse! I haven't posted it on HN myself in a long time but I just released ArchiveBox v0.7.2 a couple days ago, so it's great timing.

I encourage people to also check out the list of ArchiveBox alternatives we maintain if ArchiveBox doesn't quite fit your needs.

As usual, it seems like it's a good idea for the open source project (ssh in this case) to drop old tech and move on while those dependent on it should maintain it, for whatever that means.
"senior" in our field has lost any of the original age related meaning. You'll see senior engineers aged 24 in many companies.
This is what you are led to believe if you consume RT. One of the cornerstones of RT's propaganda is cynicism paired with moral relativism; the idea that everyone is the same, that all governments and peoples of the world are the same dirty pigs as Russians, which in turn means that Russians do nothing wrong when they invade a foreign country to torture children, rape women, murder innocents.

But that's not true. Despite all of their faults, NYT and Fox News are not under direct editorial control of the White House, whereas the RT (and all other media in Russia) is directly run from the Kremlin. Every morning starts with a meeting where the editorial boards receive latest talking points from the Kremlin, and their freedom is only to choose how they phrase them, if even that. RT is a government-run project to warp perceptions; NYT and Fox aren't.

And public broadcasters like PBS or DR in Europe aren't even affected by ownership and financial factors, like one could blame the corporate media.
What's a "recognized text"?
I was referring to "system broken" with respect to many PhDs with ambitions of an academic career having to leave academia because there are not enough tenure-track positions available. With respect to that problem, it would be equivalent to say that "Hollywood is broken" because many talented aspiring actors cannot find stable work in films and tv shows. It is a supply and demand mismatch problem.

I was not referring to the paper review and publication process, funding, grants, teaching etc.

Your audience is someone with a PhD in the biological sciences, with more than 10 years of postdoc experience (before leaving for greener pastures a few years ago, after having realized that I was not interested in tenure-track positions anymore and in any case no position had been offered to me) in Europe and in the US, who won grants, awards, competitive scholarships, and have dozens of first-author papers published in some of the most prestigious disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals.
I literally just got an email from some Biotech company in Maryland that is hiring Python Engineers. Learn Python. Apply to some Biotech companies as a Python Engineer. I'm almost certain your biotech experience would make up for your lack of actual engineering experience if you could do a leetcode interview or whatever.
Primary difference is that fueling up with gas is very quick. Charging is not (and is very variable depending on which chargers are available)
There are a lot of reasons, many of them bureaucratic.

If you own your own home in an urban locale with a garage and drive more than 12k miles a year an EV is probably perfect for you. If you live in a condo good luck dealing with the condo board to install a charger. If you park on the street tough luck charging. If you don't drive enough gas is cheaper. If you drive too much you will spend too much time charging.

The problem is that the number of people that fit in this category isn't that big. The market may be saturating.

The other issue is modern cars generally. The average age of a car on the road is going up because modern cars are too complicated and too expensive.

A large reason for this is IP laws. I can still buy parts for my 90's car because the aftermarket still supports it. Modern car parts are full of computers and the aftermarket will never support them because they can't ship copyrighted code. After 10 years they will be scrapped because there will be no parts available. We will end up with a bimodal car market. 90's cars and cars <10 years old with nothing in between.

Everything in a car used to be covered by patents but they mostly expired in the 70's. Now it's copyright which will outlive us all.

Google has no ability to execute. So instead of making leadership changes, they are just tightening their belt. They are going to be like IBM and just milk their legacy revenue. Waiting for them to sell off Google Cloud to Oracle or Salesforce.
Thw median developer makes something like $115k, so this might not be the best choice. Getting into management might be your best bet to get to $170k. Very little technical knowledge needed in management too.
If I'm not mistaken, Paradise Lost is the original source for much of it, and more recent popular culture embellishment is much of the reset. Essentially the line "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" is split in half, and the focus is put on "than to serve in Heaven" as a rallying cry for independence, and the "better to reign in hell" part is ignored. The Satanic Temple doesn't worship (or believe in) Satan, so leaving off the other half is inconsequential as he's just a symbol anyway.

I want someone to do this for a fluid dynamics problem.

I suspect lots of things in everyday life could be made substantially better/cheaper/more efficient if entire system optimization like this could be done to their design.
The last time I ran into a similar thing I solved this race condition by not erroring out on an invalid lookup until a reasonable number of seconds to allow the backend to catch up.

Eh, I don't have skills either. So it's believable others might not too.
Milking their existing old node fab contracts until they are no longer useful.
I think you should update your question with what are the specs of your computer setup, how fast your internet is and how much bandwidth you get etc
I mean it's not even about innovation per se—we've run out of new frontiers to exploit. First it was a literal frontier, then it was an economic frontier, and finally a computer and internet frontier. Maybe VR is the next thing, but I think we may have hit peak technological usefulness (to consumers) and it's all enshittification from here on out.

Yeah plenty of client cards have AP mode firmware, I don't recommend it though unless you want a particularly low end AP (outside of the use case of a fully open firmware AP, in which case fully open firmware older cards are generally the only way).
What sort of earth has no sun or wind but bags of coal, which has to be dug up, transported and burned?

Sun and wind are different to coal and oil as power generation sources, however oil n that are finite and diminishing. OK so they probably won't run out in your or my lifetime but that is hardly "never".
I’m betting we will see GCP added to the list of killed by Google in 2025.
> A tax break only helps people who are paying enough in taxes for it to matter

No, tax deductions help higher rate taxpayers more, but "tax breaks" is a more broad/relaxed term that includes tax credits. Tax credits benefit everyone who files taxes and meets the criteria for the credit.

> It would generally be better for the government to provide daycare

Eh, that is kind of a wholly different argument. In some ways the credit is obviously better (maybe it frees up one partner who wants to to stay-at-home parent), and it can be used more flexibly than a government-provided care program, even if you assume arguendo that the government program would be good and/or good value.
> They are also probably unaccustomed to the car's behavior when you lift the gas pedal completely

It's been at least 4 years since I drove an EV so I don't remember what they do. I expect the car to slow down and eventually come to a halt. I remember that I wasn't surprised by anything in particular so it's probably what it did. What do Teslas do?
Postgres Incremental Backup
It's a pretty socially deranged situation. The whole dynamic is weird, half the time your manager is telling you who just gave you a great performance review a week ago, but now has cut off emotions to deliver a list of bad news they probably got that morning, and everyone has survivors guilt for a few weeks before convincing themselves maybe it's ok because now they're safe only to be caught in another round a few months later.
The announcement explains the rationale. If you don't like it, volunteer to pay for ongoing maintenance.

What system do you still need to access where your user has a DSA key?

Why can't you generate an RSA-2048 key, like you should've done over a decade ago?

The server might've generated a DSA host key, along with an RSA host key, but that won't prevent you from connecting, it'll just use the RSA one if your client only supports RSA (of {RSA, DSA}). If you purposely disabled RSA host keys so that it only has a DSA host key, it's time to generate an RSA host key and configure its use, just like an RSA key for the account you need to continue to access.

If you don't know of any such systems but you're worried you might run into one in the future, nothing is stopping you from using an old distro livecd to access such an old and insecure ssh server.
I think that primarily comes from Milton's Paradise Lost.

Biblical content about Satan is extremely sparse so about 99% of what people think they know about Satan comes from fiction.
Ok, suppose the myth is destroyed and companies change their ways. Then a small group of activist investors demands a return to "shareholder value", the company refuses, and the investors orchestrate a takeover with other people who have not yet learned the myth was dispelled. What next?
That's (yet) another reason why I don't buy the insurance that covers incidents of my own fault for my beater. A crushed bumper will deem it salvage and the insurer will take it away but I could still drive it (and from a relative's experience, at much lower cost than the insurer would pay).

But on a newer vehicle, it takes a lot of damage to get branded salvage.

Also makes sense for Hertz to do it in-house as they'll have a somewhat standardized fleet. Can "borrow" a rear bumper from a vehicle in for more serious heavier-duty front-end repair to get at least 1 back in the fleet.
It's an understandable mistake, as I'm sure Kauai and other parts of Hawaii are kawaii.

Back when people used to say "there's no such thing as bad publicity" the internet hadn't been invented and there was little notion of the yet-unnamed Streisand Effect.

Even in the most generous interpretations of the saying, this is a uniquely extraordinary exception to it.
SingleFile is amazing. I also recommend ArchiveWeb.page / browsertrix. Both projects truly do more to solve the hard problems of internet archiving than ArchiveBox (which is just a wrapper + admin UI for a collection of tools).

ArchiveBox actually uses SingleFile internally as one our methods to save every page (among others), and we try to send a portion of our donations periodically to @gildas-lormeau to support his awesome work on it!
Ah so what you’re saying is a - should represent moving the score toward the start of the alphabet (the 1st letter) and a + should represent moving toward the end of the alphabet (the 26th letter)
because the .1%ers of tech workers no longer get child day care for free?
To their credit, that quoted statement rejects the claim that they're a religiously motivated club. They outright state that the worship of Satan is not what they do (because they are non-theistic) and encouraging that would probably have you removed. Either way, moral apathy exists with or without religion, so I'd argue it's pointless to blame it on an optional extracurricular club (for teenagers).

So far, the only instigators of conflict here seem to be religiously-involved adults. So long as individual self-expression is respected, I see no reason why Satan Club should be treated different from a religious fellowship or book club.
You know this saying that all money in the world is worth less than your own time? On-prem daycare gives you more of your time back(and ultimately - more time with your kids). Being paid even some crazy salary does not make up for the fact that with almost any other childcare option you have to walk/drive the kids there before work and then pick them up later.

It's not a matter of affording daycare is my point.
Serious question, why don't Googlers unionize? They bring in far, far, far more revenue than they cost in salary. You'd be foolish not to leverage this collectively....
