Work into performant vector search is an active area of research. If it were such a commodity, there wouldn’t be such a wide variance in performance among existing solutions.

There are a ton of open questions. If you think about Elasticsearch as a similar domain, you have complexity at the ingest, storage, and horizontal scalability layer. If you think places are going to invest in their own distributed system that handles these components, I think you’d be as wrong as saying that people will invest in their own managed Lucene implementations.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are exactly two substantive problems with JSON for (static) configuration file use cases, which are comments and multiline strings (especially with sane handling of indentation). YAML fixes these, but it adds so much complexity in the process including such a predictable footgun of unquoted strings (the no/false problem is particularly glaring/absurd, but it's also easy to forget to quote other boolean values or numbers in a long list of other strings).
That is absolutely not the same thing. If I don't fly on a plane, the worst thing that happens is the company doesn't get my money. If I don't take a vaccine the worst thing that could happen becomes a potential loss of vital senses or even death(s).

My Thai wife was born 543 years after me, even though we were born in the same year. ("Hi, this is my wife, from the future!") Our wedding certificate contains only the Thai year.

Many apps and services now demand a phone number, sometimes lying about suspicious activity or security problems to get you to cough it up. Others wait until you've been using the service to spring it on you so they have more leverage to squeeze it out of you.

Many of these services will also block signing up with throwaway email providers, of course Apple's service would require them to block to many "legit" users so it remains a good choice. The ones taking your phone number usually block land lines and voip providers, some even block prepaid mobile plans!

Meanwhile they lose your PI and shrug their shoulders or blame the users, but if you try to protect yourself from their garbage security the decide you must be a bad actor for practicing compartmentalization to limit the blast radius of their inevitable screw ups. It isn't like there is punishment for them screwing up so there's no reason for them to not take everything they can get.
That only involves one specific mouse, so perhaps we should grant an exemption. We'll revisit it every few years, extend as necessary. I'm sure there's no problematic downstream problems that will create.
Also for historical context, United traces its name back to Boeing itself. “United Air and Transport Corporation” was a company that came out of operations founded by Mr Boeing.

Yes, you are missing a better experience. You might try out Bluetooth X201-like keyboards built by enthusiasts from China, if you can buy them. I tried to contact with no luck though.

The paper defines life as a chemical reaction, which is also a heuristic. We do not know if aspects of "life" exist outside of our present understanding of physics. It's great to claw away at the edges, but I don't think anyone can answer the question "what is life?" at this point.
I agree with the overall thrust of your argument, but I disagree with this one somewhat:

> Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter possesses some degree of consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.

An even simpler first few steps:

* We experience matter, but we aren't sure if matter exists outside of our experience of it

* Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter exists only within our consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.

I can provide somewhat unorthodox answer for 2024.

I am currently working on a solo project and EXTRA prioritizing for time to MVP. In the past I already delivered one project with React and I found it very unpleasant to debug with my backend even if surprisingly useful for handling complex dynamic behavior in UI. I decided that MVP might as well be as vanilla at it can get considering that I am building very much backend-data driven application.

Python + Flask for backend. vanilla HTML + vanilla Javascript for little of the dynamic behavior that I need now on frontend. after MVP I'll most likely transfer to React because there's a limit where it will become pointless to write JS scripts by hand.

I feel that advertisements that say “could be free” or “up to X% off”, or similar should only be legal if the statements are accurate for the overwhelming majority of customers.

E.g you could advertise “free filing” if your free filing applied to 90% off people filing on your platform, you could say up to 20% off everything if more than 90% of expected sales are in the 19-20% range (also prohibit”sale” prices that are functionally the normal price with a fake markdown)
They are fully compliant, SLAAC is part of the standard whereas DHCPv6 is an optional extra.

DHCPv6 also does not work without RA. DHCPv6 just assigns an address, a routable prefix, dns servers etc, it does not assign a subnet or any routes, you need route advertisements for that.

Doesn’t even need to be a planet killer, even a small object like the Tunguska event hitting a large city (Like NYC) would cost trillions in damage and millions of lives, the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off. The cost to build some surveillance and technology to mitigate it would be far less.

And prevention wouldn’t require Bruce Willis to blow it up with nukes, like the DART mission all you’d need is to hit the space rock with a fast moving, small probe and alter its course by a millionth of a degree far enough out, could be the difference between hitting a city, landing in the ocean, or not hitting earth at all.

This title seems like a remnant of a different era.

For any potential employee, my concern is that this raises expectations very high, and $80 million doesn't go that far these days, meaning they either need to hit profitability quickly or grow enough to raise more at a higher valuation in a short time frame. Requiring such high growth in 12-18 months would give major pause if I was considering joining a company.
> Boeing decided they wanted to focus on maximizing profits

> The shareholders/board decided to gut the company so they can get richer with stock buybacks

Are you not saying the exact same thing, just being more explicit about the implicit "short-term" profits?

The shareholders/board (e.g. Boeing...the decision makers) decided to gut the company so they can get richer (e.g. maximize [short-term] profits, since the profits accrue to the shareholders/board) with stock buybacks.
In and out is SO overrated. Their burgers were meh and the fries were dry as hell. I would rather eat at McDonald’s any day of the week.

Just tried out his suggestions combined with some of the comments there (what I tried: put boiling water in the moka to start, pre-heat my electric stove while preparing the moka, use a full but not overly full basket, and avoid sputtering by actively controlling the applied heat with the lid open and taking the moka off the heat the moment sputtering starts) and my impression was that it makes a noticeable difference. Specifically, I had always just accepted that moka coffee is fast and easy but bitter, and this was much less bitter: I preferred it and I think I'll keep these changes.

YMMV of course!

there was some other place I can't recall also noticing that (at least my perception understands that) Python is trying to kill my code golf tendencies.

That said, it's probably just my own superstition and of course it doesn't remove my premature optimization tendencies...

Show HN: Easy DPDK-based messaging on cloud VMs with Machnet
Hi all! We've built Machnet to provide an easy way for applications to reduce their datacenter networking latency via kernel-bypass (DPDK-based) messaging. Distributed applications like databases and finance can use Machnet as the networking library to get sub-100 microsecond tail network latency at high message rates, e.g., 750,000 1KB request-reply messages per second on Azure F8s_v2 VMs with 61 microsecond P99.9 round-trip latency. Machnet supports a variety of cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) and bare-metal platforms, OSs and NICs, evaluated in https://github.com/microsoft/machnet/blob/main/docs/PERFORMA....

While there are several other DPDK-based network stacks, Machnet provides the following unique benefits: (1) Specifically designed for and tested on public cloud VM environments. (2) Multiple applications on the same machine can use Machnet. (3) No need for DPDK expertise, or compiling the application with DPDK.

Architecture: Machnet runs as a separate process on all machines where the application is deployed and mediates access to the DPDK NIC. Applications interact with Machnet over shared memory with a sockets-like API. Machnet processes in the cluster communicate with each other using DPDK.

(In the past I'd built eRPC, discussed on HN here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19418997. Machnet has an improved design that fixes several issues that we found made eRPC difficult to use in real applications.)
Well, 1.25% is quite tiny. And I'd bet you're not moving to IPv6 anyway, at least not entirely, since a good amount of people are probably accessing your services over IPv4-only connections.

Okay, but I'd say that's the definition of housing changing, not the definition of afford.

But there's a lot of places where you can't even get an affordable apartment. And it's hard to get a smaller house at a proportionally smaller price.
I didn't say it was limited to the south. A quick Google says WI is +0.4 percentage points above the national average for obesity. My home state is +3.2 percentage points vs. the national average.

But moreso, my home state is +11.8 percentage points vs. my current state, hence how much it stands out when I go home.

One more person chiming in to say that I'm really happy with my 13" AMD Framework laptop.

It wakes from sleep and reconnects wifi before I'm done opening the lid, I can charge it from either side, the screen is beautiful, it's nice and lightweight, the performance and battery life are good enough that I don't think about it.

On the down side, the touchpad is a notable downgrade from the macbook I use for work, and the speakers are down-ish-firing and fairly weak. Also, twice in the ~1.5 months I've had it, it has completely frozen for about 30 seconds (even the mouse cursor didn't respond) before hitting a windows bluescreen and then rebooting. No idea what's causing that, but there is some suggestion on the forum that it's the AMD graphics drivers. However, I also have a GPD Win Mini with a similar APU and it's never once frozen like that on me.

I'm probably going to switch it to Ubuntu in the near future, so that might sidestep the freezing issue, although I expect it to eventually be sorted out either way.

But, again, overall I'm very happy with it.
I just turned 30. If I can’t afford a house in the next 10 years I’m going to be a lifelong renter.

Why get a 30 year mortgage at 40, to only pay it off at 70 and then die in two decades? It feels like the wrong thing to do but…I really don’t know how else to look at it.

Sure. I could afford a house today where I grew up. But I’d have to surround myself with the highly undesirable culture (in my opinion) in those places. To put it nicely.

That is super cool. I wrote to SGS-Thomson when I was in highschool and they sent me what felt like a refrigerator box of manuals for the 400 through the 9000. Huge transputer fan. The simplicity was striking, and that you could construct a system that could handle huge numbers of threads communicating across the network with almost no "system software" in the way was mind blowing.

Most famously, Gene Amdahl started https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilogy_Systems in the 80s to explore this idea.

The calculus changes when you don't have to dice the wafer, packaging, etc. I'd say that we clock things now at the highest speed that we can safely remove heat, so these wafer scale chips, we trade frequency for area and need/should clock them much slower.

At large production runs, the wafer in a Cerebras is 20k each for a system costing millions and the primary engineering feat is still cooling. I'd love to see a WSI system utilizing NTV (near threshold voltage) logic.

Another interesting design pattern that has arisen is that Cerebras, Esperanto, Tenstorrent, and InspireSemi are all mesh networks using message passing.

This suggests to me that there's a perhaps even better application for an eco-friendly high-speed water transport: intra-island transport!

Love it. I'm excited to upgrade the mainboard and to put the old board in a new shell or the cooler master case. We'll see what the kiddo wants to do.

Maybe she'll become a gamer and we'll get a 16.

Anyway, you've got my total support and $. I get that we're a niche market though. It would be great to see my non-techie friends sporting the Framework Gear -- I think they'd love the pre-built machine, but the messaging steers them to thinking it's only for DIY-ers. E.g. -- My sister would love the FW13 because she doesn't have special performance needs and cares about sustainability, but she got very intimidated buying an MBA, so guiding her through buying a Framework will be some work on my end (...messaging that would land for her would be that Framework solves all your basic problems (browsing, video-chatting, and netflix) and when you need more power you can upgrade for only the cost of the components).
I've heard Spirit has had a lot of problems, but likewise Boeing itself is not immune to this. A few years back the Boeing South Carolina plant was having a very consistent problem with foreign objects (wrenches, parts, etc) being left behind in assembled planes, to rattle around and damage who knows what.

My understanding as well is that while Spirit makes the fuselage of the 737MAX, final assembly is at Boeing in Renton Washington, and the plug door would have been removed for final assembly and then reinstalled in Renton, so Boeing itself would be responsible, assuming, as appears likely, that the plane left the factory without the door bolts installed.
Dot com boom and 2008, moreso 2008, that 30% slid up to around 50%. People justified it to themselves because, as mentioned elsewhere, "Real estate always goes up!"
It is "easy" because it fits perfectly with all the publicly accessible information that we have about the relationship between Boeing and Spirit Aerosystems. We know it was spun off out of Boeing in order to cut costs. We're also a forum full of engineers who have been inside companies that have done those kinds of things before in other industries and seen how it turns into a shit show. Yeah, this article is filling in the details that we fully expect to see around how the sausage is actually being made, to that extent it fits our preconceived biases.

Biases can be entirely accurate.

And even if this is a work of fiction around this particular incident, the reality may not be far enough off to matter.

There's enough smoke that all the biased people rushing to assume there's a fire are likely more correct than the skeptics demanding to see the flames enveloping the building before rushing to any judgement.
