Have I entered bizarro world here?

Did we even read the same article?

Far from being pro-Musk (Musk wasn't even mentioned), the only mention of Tesla in the article is a highly misleading mischaracterization of events.

And the non-Tesla EV makers absolutely deserve shade.

Your definition of a pro-Musk article is one that doesn't try to eviscerate or even mention him, and even slights his company? Super odd.
Firefox lagged on filter and backdrop filter, and Chrome lagged on subgrid.

And color functions don’t need displays with better color to work. They’re about better ways to describe colors, to mix colors, and to choose colors.

And Apple did nothing to prevent others from using displays with better color, nor does enhancing the web hamper the web.
I am now curious due to the streisand effect.
Obviously that doesn't generalize for opcodes with 0, 1, 3 or more input operands. As a concrete example, consider a fused multiply-add operation: `rd = fma rs1, rs2, rs3` is consistent, but how would you convert it to an infix notation?

FTA: "in some cases, the links can also be maintained for weeks at a time"

I think there is a lot of variance. The article also states about 266,141 “laser acquisitions” per day, which, if every laser link stayed up for the exact same amount of time, with 9000 lasers, means the average link remains established for a little less than an hour: 9000 (lasers) / 266141 (daily acquisitions) * 24 * 60 = 49 minutes

So some links may stay established for weeks, but some only for a few minutes?

> They did this by using one access token and three service account credentials that had been taken, and that we failed to rotate, after the Okta compromise of October 2023

On the other hand, I’ve known engineers who were harassed on their GitHub accounts because they stopped working on a project when the company transferred them internally.

This article shares key insights from a paper titled 'High-Performance Data Analysis using Object Storage on the Cloud', published by the team of Dominik Durner from the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

It primarily focuses on performing high-performance data analytics on object storage, with several conclusions providing clear direction for our engineering practices.

I'm in a band with a guy who, despite being told we want to focus on music in our limited rehearsal time, is always bringing up his conspiracy rants, including the "facts" that the vaccine is killing millions of people, that hospitals were empty except when the TV cameras were rolling, and that the spike proteins are ultra toxic and covid itself was a nothing-burger. He always refuses to give sources using the automatic response, "I'm not your google monkey!". One of his claims was specific enough that I could find the exact website where the claim came from, and it completely misrepresented the data it was based on. I emailed him the link I found, explained why it was BS, and gave him links to expert sources that explained why that original site was grossly mistaken. After a couple months I mentioned that he never responded to my email and his response: What email? I never got an email.

It is partly tribal, and partly people LOVE being in on the secret truth that all the sheep are too stupid to find.

Anyway, koqoo, please prove me wrong. If I'm wrong, I want to know about it, but simply saying claiming your beliefs are correct won't convince anyway.

These people are trying to maximize harm, and that varies somewhat. In US that means claiming a shooting or hostage situation, trying to provoke an armed police response. Elsewhere it tends to be things like bomb threats.
> they probably spend far more on content production than any other platform.

Back of the envelope:

- YouTube ads revenue $9.2B / quarter [0]

- Subsciption revenue $15B / year (this submission), let's guess 80% YT Premium -> $3B / quarter

- YouTube revshare is 55% to creators

=~ $6.5B / quarter or $26B/year paid to creators

Netflix spends between $14B-$17B/year on content, depending on if you count it on an amortization or cash flow basis[1], and expect it to go down by 25% next year[2]. Disney spent $15B / year on non-sports content in 2023[2].

So yeah, not only is what you're saying true, but it's probably not even close. It's plausible that in 2024 YouTube's content spend will be more than Disney's and Netflix's combined.

A lot of it would hinge on how much hardware you were trying to support. Router images can get nice and small because they build a kernel with the exact drivers in the target. Trying to support all the insane variety in laptop wifi, input devices, and power management is probably where a lot of the bloat comes from.

This is great. I love using DuckDB to do initial analytics on new datasets we get at work. The issue I run into a lot is that our sources can give us data that has non UTF-8 characters in it which DuckDB won't read so I spend a bit of time just trying to find the few non UTF-8 characters in a multi-GB file.

SQLite does not seem to care about the bogus characters so I would be really interested in using Stanchion and SQLite to see if it speeds up my exploration.

Also, I do not know how I have never known about SQLite extensions before now. I feel like I just found out that Narwhals are actually real.

And the NBA, with the strictest cap, has had eight different champions this century.
I agree with this.

I think a lot of the criticism of string theory ignores the fact that a lot of ideas have merit simply because they make you see things from a different angle. Even if they don't replace other models, these sorts of ideas are often worth something. You don't need to "believe" that the universe is literally made up of "the stuff" to appreciate that it could be a valid / self-consistent way of interpreting the world.
It's astonishing how much Sundar has managed to tarnish Google's brand over the past few years with decisions like this that optimize for short-term gains at the expense of long-term reputational damage and customer goodwill.

I wish I was more fitted for the job. I find your company/product fascinating. Best of luck with your search!
You say that it's simple, but it's not like electricity where you can just measure it and see if it's the right voltage and frequency throughout the day.

How many and which upstreams to connect to makes a big difference. What technology is used for the last mile access network makes a big difference. Who to peer with and who to let run CDN appliances in the network makes a big difference. Oversubscription ratios in various parts of the network make a big difference. Address policies make a big difference.

Now, if the municipality wants to run last mile and hand it off to whatever ISPs want to take it in some central locations? That makes the municipal job simpler: they just need to measure quality on their network, and anything that happens after the handoff to the ISP is not their problem. But that's a more complex product for users than a single provider to blame for everything.
Thermal management is also a tremendous problem in space. All power generated must be radiated away, and satellites effectively sit inside a vacuum insulator.

I'd be interested in what the sustained power/thermal budget of the satellites is.
While swatting itself is terrible, I can see a weird benefit to it being mainstream: it may encourage more caution by SWAT and other armed police responses. To some extent, that is probably good given the number of times police have shown up to the wrong house and shit the homeowner and/or their dog.
Albert, you continue to engage in unnecessary personal attacks and straw man arguments. Why make a conversation a personal attack?

Please stop.

You have no place acting like this on Hacker News. Read the rules.

Critique of the arguments vs criticism of the person, please.

Also, if you want to have a constructive conversation with someone, insulting them as a lead isn’t… great.

I’m sorry for the typo. It happens. Doesn’t make me an idiot. When I find people making typos, I don’t feel a need to demonstrate my questionable bias towards non-native speakers with a superior complex either: how do you think that would genuinely make a non-native speaker feel? Not great.

People make typos in casual communication (have you typed on a phone recently, it only works because of spell check!). It doesn’t make them lower on the totem pole or worth “going after” personally. What it does is it makes me someone who made a typo (the horror).

I wish you the best, but please stop making it unnecessarily personal.

This isn’t Usenet in 1993, and I’m allowed to dislike the arguments of public intellectuals as long as my arguments and criticisms are cogent. I’m not making jokes about the man’s mother, sir.

I don’t need to be personally bullied or called ‘a poor’ for not being as successful as the person I’m providing a critique about. That’s an overly personal attack that doesn’t have anything to do with the criticisms I’m levying toward him.

I would normally ignore such behavior, but this is a small community and you’re a public person, so I feel compelled to say something. Please don’t do this to others. Be well, HN friend.

I’m going to try to engage more in this forum, but obit if you think I belong. Maybe I should practice my English a bit moar.
I only knew this from “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”, I didn’t realize there was this much behind it.
I don't really know what you think I don't understand. I'm not arguing from the point of view of an A/B test, I'm arguing from the point of a Netflix user.

I don't care how others ruin their lives. There's a million and one ways to do so and if you try to remove one they'll fine another. If you choose to binge Netflix all day that's on you. If you choose to overindulge in drugs or food or whatever, that's on you.

By all means, help people who need it. I'm a strong supporter of all kinds of social safety nets. Free healthcare, free rehab, free counseling, free education, bring it on. It's the best possible investment a society can make, any society that ignores these obvious improvements is shooting itself in the foot. If someone needs and wants help, help them.

All I'm saying is Netflix (and similar) is great the way it is. It's a much much much better experience than tv used to be.

So when I see people seemingly hold them responsible for the behavior of their users, it honestly makes me angry. They're doing what we want. We should celebrate them for that, not criticize them. It's not their fault people can't control themselves.

And I fail to see what you think the motivation is. You seem to think Netflix is secretly scheming to make their viewers binge more - why? That would be like a gym trying to make their support members come in to the gym. Fact is if everyone went to the gym on a weekly basis they wouldn't have space for half of their members and they would go bankrupt. I don't know the details of Netflix's server costs but I'm betting that if everyone on there were to start binging everything they would go under as well. I don't see any reason why Netflix would want people to binge more. Not one. It would increase server costs, maybe also licensing costs, bring in zero extra money, and once people were done watching everything interesting they would unsubscribe. It seems much more favorable for them if people watched one episode per week and kept paying for years while hardly using Netflix servers.

But we don't want one episode per week, we want to decide our own pace. We don't want to have to choose to play the next episode, we can pause the show whenever we want to. We don't want to watch the same intro for each episode.

That's why we pay for the service - it's what we want. That's their incentive. Not making degenerates spend more in server costs per week than they pay per month. That's not good business for Netflix.
The principle seems reasonable, and is easily applicable for single data elements, but I feel it is a little naive and will break down with collections of data, which is where the real problems usually are anyway.
I don't know, you don't have to be a participant in everything you see. It's OK to just watch.

I often quipped that hardest part of installing Windows was that you needed to know to switch 214 to programmer layout.
That's a valid idea for RISC-V, but not always applicable. For example x86 `ADD` only accepts two operands, so `add rax, rbx` would add `rbx` to `rax` in place. `rax = add rax, rbx` would be a "faithful" translation, but `rax = add rbx, rcx` would be invalid (AFAIK there is still no three-operand version of scalar `ADD` in x86). `rax = add rbx` would be less redundant but way more confusing.

Another alternative is to mark the output in the operand position. Say, `add rd!, rs1, rs2`. I relate this to x86 `LEA` which is effectively an arithmetic operation but encoded like a load operation, hence a weird syntax `lea rax, [rbx + 42]` even though no memory access happens. Maybe that might be useful in the other way around.
There must also be something to having just a small roster in the NBA, that makes some of the best incredibly more impactful - such as Lebron or Curry. In the NFL the QB position has such an effect on the game (Brady, Mahomes). Mike Trout is one of the best players we will ever see in the MLB and they struggle to make the playoffs each year. Just spitballin'.
I mean, did we already forget about Ed Snowden and "SSL added and removed here :-)"?

> as with many other vaccines, they do not produce sterilizing immunity

I wonder if the authors emphasized that as a pre-buttal to a certain political bloc. I recall a few waves of conspiratorial talking-points going around, along the lines of: "Real vaccines protect you perfectly with one dose forever, this one doesn't, wake up sheeple", etc.

Of course it's ahistorical nonsense: By that logic, most/all vaccines ever made over 200+ years were all wrongly labeled.

> The long-term consequence of this tolerance could be the establishment of a permissive state of the host leading to chronic infection and other unintended consequences induced by mRNA vaccination in susceptible individuals.

Alternately, the long-term consequence could be that the disease is still killed in a timely manner while the human is less-likely to suffer from an overreaction, like hyperinflammatory cytokine storms.

It gets a mention later in the discussion section:

> The increase in IgG4 levels [...] could reflect a tolerance mechanism that could prevent immune over-reactivity (cytokine storm) and progression to a critical stage. However, this exacerbated immune reaction does not occur in young and healthy people, and it has been documented only in older patients with genetic susceptibility and those with comorbidities.
