You're welcome. I will give you one more fun anecdote here: when I came to Oxide, nobody in my corner of the company was using Windows. And hubris and humility almost Just Worked: we had one build system issue that was using strings instead of the path APIs, but as soon as I fixed those, it all worked. bcantrill remarked that if you had gone back in time and told him long ago that some of his code would Just Work on Windows, he would have called you a liar, and it's one of the things that validates our decisions to go with Rust over C as the default language for development inside Oxide.

> Now i'm imagining Helios inside WSI - Windows Subsystem for illumos

That would be pretty funny, ha! IIRC something about simulated omicron doesn't work inside WSL, but since I don't work on it actively, I haven't bothered to try and patch that up. I think I tried one time, I don't remember specifically what the issue was, as I don't generally use WSL for development, so it's a bit foreign to me as well.
Looks really interesting, unfortunately your sign up page is throwing a “Email rate limit exceeded” error, and the e-mail field is painfully slow to type in (iPhone), guessing some kind of React state recursion gone wrong.
Sadly, it looks like godaddy is charging $5000 for the domain. Otherwise that would be a fun project.
> I don’t want to own movies or discs, because I never consume the same thing twice.

For real?! You don’t have movies you love and rewatch? Are you not one for watching much TV?

I’m intrigued :)
14,000 out of their total number of employees is such a drop in the bucket though. If you can get hired as a Wal-Mart trucker, from what I understand, you're the best of the best. Also, consider there are like 3.5 million truck drivers in the US - only a tiny percentage of those can get jobs at places that pay as well as Wal-Mart. And Wal-Mart has 1.6 million US employees alone, so you're talking less than 1% of total jobs when you say 14,000.
I don't have a racing bike. My bike is an aluminium city bike. And I like feeling the bumps, it makes me feel more connected with the road surface.

I also like crafting with manual hand tools over 3D-printing, and I like using kitchen knives that are not too sharp. I also tactile mechanical keyboards with my computers.
I suppose I'm just a touchy feely guy. Each to their own.
The LIDAR units used by these robot vacuums aren't powerful enough to damage cat/children's eyes. I trust that they wouldn't be on the market if they were.
>why they can’t see NC-17 movies

This is not a law, this is a voluntary regulation undertaken by the motion picture industry.
Does it matter? We are talking about fun consumerist novelties facing a shrinking population with shrinking disposable income. No one needs these "things."
You are absolutely correct. It doesn't make sense to buy that contract unless you already have the money in your PredictIt balance, you want to keep it there as "dry powder", and you really can't think of a better market to park it in (unlikely). Time value of money being what it is... contracts like that have a pretty dead market. There is no reason to hold either the longshot YES that's realistically less than 1% likely OR the tie-up-your-dollar NO.

Of course if you already have a balance on PI, you just won in another market, and say it's Nov 6th and you've got nothing better to do... you might as well buy 99c shares because the $1 payout could be in as little as a couple days and what else are you doing with the money? So the high priced shares DO eventually sell but basically anything that's months away dies out in trading volume before it reaches the 99c mark.

Personally if I still had money sitting in PI I'd probably park my dry powder in NO on "Joe Biden resign in his first term", which has been as high as 10c this month, but even assuming I could get 90c NO shares that is not worth me moving money from my bank back into PI just to skim those pennies.
Car and Driver also runs a service though they didn't have any dealers participating here in Michigan. But I did much better than the prices they offer. But if you don't want to do any of the work, avoid the dealer and buy a little below list they're not a bad option.
Where, exactly, are you getting these 3FTEs qualified to touch production OpenStack infra, for more than a year, where their aggregate cost is less than a rack of equipment?
Looks very cool, congrats on the initiative!

I think it can be great to develop prototypes, but to build a BGA alternative you will need permission from the publishers to implement / distribute their games, and given how big is BGA and that it belongs to Asmodee, that is going to be tough...

Hope I am wrong, good luck!
bro heard about Tesla and said we are the Tesla of robovacuums lol
Hoping that fundamental skills aren’t lost in the wayside eg 10 years from now… although I guess it will just be a somewhat smaller subset of peeps that have them, as someone still has to manage the infra all the way down to bare metal I’d think..
> That is not the valid question.

Well, luckily things in the US don't work this way. We don't build out unwanted infrastructure because "...most people don't have the imagination". The preferences of the ivory tower academics or 1% of non-car owners shouldn't drive transportation infrastructure decisions.

> The real question is can we as a society afford cars?

Every day, people overwhelmingly vote with their actions: YES, they want cars. NO, they don't want to make it harder or more expensive to own cars.

The small minority of Americans who choose to not have cars should stop trying to tell the rest of the population how to live. Most people do not wish to live in high-density urban areas. They do not wish to have their travel restricted to wherever a bus will take them.

Safety and emissions will continue to improve, but cars are (thankfully) here to stay.
Who needs all that cryptography nonsense, right?
I mean you can put regulations on anything to make it sure it is doing what it is supposed to be, right?

The spirit of the regulation is to make sure it is not emitting ozone like this ozone filter-less purifier: GreenTech GT-50.

It may be "painless" but if it costs $X per unit to certify and they make $x-.01 per unit, the company isn't going to sell that in CA.

The harm caused by the lack of a super cheap and effective air filter, especially in CA where we can get smoked out for weeks due to fires could be greater than the harm reduced by the regulation. Especially when it is obvious that this in now way could emit ozone since it is just a fan and a filter.
This is a misconception. Carbon fiber mountain bikes are not more delicate. Designed properly they are more durable. The idea that carbon fiber is innately delicate comes from road bikes designed to be as light and stiff as possible, and they can end up brittle, and weak in areas that don't normally see stresses. Not all road bikes are designed like this, even high end ones, but some early ultra light bikes were.

Bikes that need to be durable use different types of fibers that can bend more before cracking, and may include layers of kevlar or other composites with more 'toughness' in key areas. My wife has a carbon fiber mountain bike and has been racing every weekend, winning, jumping, crashing, riding every day, for 3 years now, bike is fine.
Hey this looks great. I'm working on some AI bots for board games and this might be really useful as a frontend for local testing of the bot players. I'll check it out.
Tracking Prolific Hacker News Commenters
I'm always curious about who writes all the comments on Hacker News. I am more of a lurker than a commenter.

We built this live Grafana Dashboard that uses Bytewax and Proton to pull data from the Hacker News API, process it as a stream, and then present it in a live updating dashboard.
Also, it is impossible to know which subpixel structure the user has.
They have some valid points.

But then again, they make some weird claims further down like:

I worked at a prediction market startup for a while.

Even completely rational prediction markets generally have a structural problem with events with likelihoods close to 1.0 or 0.0. This leads to cases where conspiracy type events have much higher likelihoods than they should, leading people to assume the market has lost all rationality when actually it hasn't.

For example, imagine if there's an event with a predicted likelihood of 1 in 50, but it should actually be 1 in 1000.

Assuming the market uses real money, then on paper someone should be able to make a roughly 2% return by betting that the event won't occur. However, if this market isn't closing for a while (for example for an election at the end of the year), then no-one is incentivised to take the bet and correct the market, because they'll get a much better risk free return just by putting their money in a term deposit and collecting the interesting. And so the market remains un-corrected. Basically prediction markets have an accuracy upper bound determined by the current risk free return.

For markets using "play" money a slightly different effect is at play. When it's not real money involved, generally the people are incentivised to try and top a leaderboard of some sort. In this case, a really effective strategy for people who currently aren't near the top of the leaderboard is to take long shot bets. If they loose, who cares they weren't gonna win anyways, but if the the bet plays off they have a lot to gain. Basically there's an asymmetry in returns that once again messes with probabilities.
They are tied to YouTube's, I believe.
This isn’t unique to metal. The same can be said for bodybuilders, once they go past a certain point. For females it is true for fashion, it is mostly to impress and outdo the other women, most men don’t care.
> The moat is all but guaranteed to be the scale of the GPUs required to operate these for a lot of users

for end users, yes. For small companies that want to finetune, evaluate and create derivatives, it reduces the cost by millions.

Huh what? Biontech is a German company. The German Mittelstand literally runs half of the "hidden champions" worldwide - companies that everyone else depends on, that have utter dominance in their niche market. German cars are of a hardware build quality that makes anyone else - particularly Tesla - be dead in the water (although the software side of German cars is just the other way around, I'll admit that). Germany literally created the market for cheap solar panels by massively subsidizing them during the Schröder years. MP3? A standard developed by Fraunhofer in Germany. CERN and ITER? European based. Europe as a whole has an actually working high-speed train network. The maglev train? A German invention. Brutal and effective collective worker action (aka strikes)? A French patent. Chip-and-PIN? Introduced in Europe. A ton of ISO standards? They are actually extensions or adoption of German DIN, including the paper size that almost everyone but the US uses. Metric/SI system? An European invention. MySQL? A Swedish invention. Linux? Invented by a Finn. Half of mobile communications dates back to stuff from Nokia and Ericsson.

The only area where Europe lags behind is providing insane amounts of insanely dumb capital to startups.

It's a mainframe, for people who do not, actually, know what a mainframe is or does.
Right, some home ISPs that don't give a public v4 might give you a public v6 without a firewall. Cellular ISPs will probably have CGNAT even on ipv6, for example my AT&T is like that.
Makes a lot of sense - in my opinion AWS doesn't do the best job with this. We had a similar problem with EKS where even as the root user I couldn't view cluster details (https://medium.com/@elliotgraebert/comparing-the-top-eight-m....).

I agree that this would be a great feature. To be honest, our product isn't currently focused on this sort of automatic management of resource lifecycle; we're much better at data collection. But thank you for flagging this! We'll definitely keep it in mind as we add support for compute services (right now we only support S3 and there's nothing to "spin down").

Edit: The part less related to permissions (how can I kill it) and more related to discoverability (which resource is it) is more adjacent to what we've already built and is something we can take a look at soon. Perhaps we can take a crack at the permissions aspect afterwards.
I think that is fair. I was approaching this from the perspective of "my old machine was responsive, it is becoming less so." Back on the example of Doom, I understood why my machine at the time couldn't run Quake. It would be frustrating to force everyone to that paradigm.

The pi is largely undocumented and otherwise proprietary. It's owned by broadcom who are otherwise known for putting everything behind an nda. No, the pi is a lot, but it's not a platform i would bet on to be available in 50 years.
iirc when it was missing there was a lot of wild speculation and then someone (maybe it was on twitter) discretely said it was on the bottom of the ocean at some location i can't remember and nothing else. The conclusion was this person was from some three letter agency and knew exactly where it was because of all the listening devices in the various oceans hunting for submarines. They(agency) will never say where it is because it exposes their capability. I think a similar thing happened when that submarine imploded on the way to the titanic.
It's already the default on Mastodon, and I enjoy it a lot.

That is a myth. Material alone doesn't determine this, and modern road bikes are on 28mm tires at ~70psi so this isn't nearly as much of an issue as it was 20 years ago (and it wasn't a real issue then either)
The original statement was:

> "Do you also think that children should be allowed to buy cigarettes? I'll be honest, I am not certain that social media is any less deleterious than tobacco."

To which I pointed out that cigarettes kill far more people than social media. And your response was somehow that I'm implying that a less-bad thing is good? Are you sure you're following the conversation? It's really not clear that you're addressing anything I said, and it's unclear what your point is.
If you don't mind me asking what was the thing that prompted it? Tbh I was in a similar boat growing up and for me it was the internet that really first exposed me to things because I grew up in a very conservative area. I mean part of it for me is also being gay and at that time being pushed out in a way so I was also seeking that.

I consider myself very fortunate that I had gone to talk to the school guidance counselor and she was able to get me a book to help as well.

But Florida in particular is going multiple routes which is why I said what I said. Some kids will still seek it out, but some may just not be exposed to other viewpoints if they are more sheltered or live in a certain type of community.

And I know that this really isn't going to work, especially in today's age. But there is also something unique about seeing someone else's life that is different than yours (admittedly though the filtered lens of social media) vs just seeing on tv/movies or even the news.
Amazon really cutting costs now.
In the clip linked, just after the time-point linked to, Lex asks him about autonomous vehicles and LIDAR vs Cameras only. He goes on to say his robots have a harder environment to navigate than cars. Take that as you will.
I bought an Amiga 1200 (used) in the mid '90s, invested in a then expensive Blizzard 1260 and SCSI, used the system for years as my primary work computer, then rackmounted it and turned it in to NetBSD server.

Sure, it had to be recapped, and it has gone through several drives, but it has run mostly continuously since 1995. It's good hardware, and it's responsible for many of the m68k pkgsrc binary packages available today.

Just recently I recapped an Amiga 3000 and started playing with AmigaDOS 3.2.2. I could browse the web, with https, with 16 megs on a 25 MHz m68030. Because of Datatypes, I could even see webp, which my previous Mac couldn't. The OS has had recent updates. AmiSSL is based off of OpenSSL 3.x. Software and browsers are still being updated. It's amazing.

It's definitely an excellent candidate for a 50 year computer :)
Credit where credit is due, Meta has had a fantastic commitment towards open source ML. You love to see it.
Yeah it sucks. We’re trying to play catch up game for manufacturing industry, but it’s abysmally hard to get it going. I don’t think we can easily pour down money and the talent and processes would just reappear in a couple of years either. So, my assumption is high-scale tech protectionism wars are going to start.
What a ridiculous article. Carbon is stiff and comfortable, and I love it. Its more forgiving than aluminum, stiffer than steel, and cheaper than titanium. The author just sounds bitter, or disgruntled
> There are cases, such as in school, where more restrictions are permitted to the school. But those restrictions are not based on age.

After 18 you can choose whether to be in school or not. Those restrictions are voluntary for adults but compulsory for minors (who do not get to choose whether they go to public school, private school, homeschool, or just pass the GED)
Technically Abraham, as he was the one, with whom G-d established the Covenant. Although I'm pretty sure there are lengthy disputes in Talmud arguing that it started with Adam and Hava.
i don't know. I think the lived reality of their lives is more the cause. I mean, if this study really is what it claims. You assign too much blame on people who are already unfortunate. I guess thats what sets me off.
There’s plenty of reasons people (me included) buy carbon bikes.

- they’re lighter

- the aesthetics: I like a good steel/titanium bike, but the flowing lines and zero-joins of a carbon frame are awesome

- manufacturers can control and alter the layup to control the degree and direction of flex in different regions of the frame. Plus dampening properties are helpful.

Weight savings alone are a “Good Reason”.

Edit: Wow this article is insufferable. “You’re not good enough to have a carbon bike” and “you’re too peasant to work on it properly”. If the author wants to have an inferiority complex over what I’m guessing is a failed racing career and an inability to learn basic mechanics skills, then that’s on them.
I’ve owned carbon mountain and road bikes, put thousands of K’s on them, maintained and upgraded them with zero issues.
By that logic Lambo Countach is the best car. Even if all you need is to drive to Walmart to buy a gigant^W American size amount of groceries.

If you are an acquirer, and you suspect that the company you are planning to acquire is likely to go under, it can often be cheaper to wait for that event then buy up IP, and hire as many staff as you can for continuity.

For example, see Bigelow Aerospace's inflatable space station tech and then Sierra Space's tech. I don't have any inside knowledge, but I'd imagine the path Sierra is on is likely one similar to the above strategy.
Aluminium generally is stiff, quite uncomfortable for longer rides (100km). I own one, had a lot of fun with it.

Now I have a carbon road bike, don’t care about the weight, did care about comfort. Comfortable, flexible, but still has stiffness in the right direction (torsion is way less). Longer rides are much more pleasant.

There are also nice titanium bikes and steel bikes. From what I heard titanium and steel frames tend to be a bit more flexible, no idea why.
I am mountain biking very often. The day I changed my rims to carbon fiber ones was the day I could go another 5+ miles. I replaced my entire frame with a carbon fiber one. Now I am nearly doubling my distance which is 20-30 miles with it. I can hop over things easily, climbing hills is a breeze.

Sure, it is not as strong as heavy metal ones, but I do not know if any mountain biker would return to non-carbon fiber alloys. At least for mountain bikes, the carbon fiber anything is a win. Rim or frame, any upgrade is a net upgrade.

It feels like this article was written by a person who never rode a bike. I doubt it is the fact because it comes from a reputable website.
This is, again, a conspiratorial mindset considering Michelle Obama has repeatedly said she would never run and Kamala Harris would never be replaced.
It seems like there is a lot of resistance to these kinds of markets. Both in terms of bureaucratic restrictions, but also in terms of sentiment, including here on HN.

It's not that people disagree with the market clearing price, and are motivated to take a position. It's that they don't want other people to converge on a prediction in this way, and want to ban it, or keep the stakes so small that the market doesn't attract real expertise.

It's like people are more into beliefs as decoration, rather than as something to compare and test against other people's beliefs.
> Some people who are into cycling have a lot of disposable income, and they want to buy themselves something nice. Then they feel happy for a while.

If that’s the case you contact a frame builder that will make you a bespoke lugged steel frame tailored to your measurements. The off-the-shelf carbon frame is the collectible sneaker of the bike world. The custom steel frame is the pair of bespoke Italian leather shoes.

The Marosticana[1] perhaps?

Carbon fiber bikes have two main properties that can affect performance:

1. they are a little lighter. This doesn't matter nearly as much as most cyclists think, but it does matter a bit. If you race competitively in the mountains, you might care.

2. There is more design freedom for shaping them aerodynamically. This makes a bit more difference than weight, and if you are competing you definitely want it.
