I run into this all the time w/ engineers I work with.

I always tell them the story of the mechanic. The mechanic works tirelessly every day fixing Toyota Camrys. For years on end, he stares at broken Toyota Camrys. He knows every bolt, and every failure point across decades of Toyota Camrys.

He is utterly and thoroughly convinced that Toyota Camrys are unreliable hunks of junk. After all, he sees them broken all the time.

What he doesn't see are the 100s of thousands of Toyota Camrys loggings hundreds of thousands of miles on the road, perfectly intact with no mechanical issues. His vision is completely skewed by his day to day responsibilities.

Same thing for us in software. It's our job to see the dirty edge cases. To notice when something goes wrong for 5 minutes. etc. Our job is to automate everything - so by definition, we don't see the thousands or millions of interactions between our customers and our software that go exactly as planned, because they're completely automated away from us. Completely invisible. We have a skewed vision because of our day to day responsibilities.
Amongst other things, you have to define a system of calibration that will stand up in court. I've read about speeding tickets getting tossed for lack of same.

That said, for all these communities surviving on / leaching off of ticket revenues, I've wondered why they haven't gone after these noise rats. Or a private entity whose business is selling equipment/systems to law enforcement. Put detectors on squad cars, and sell them a calibration setup. Pass and/or enforce some local noise ordinances, and...Ka-chinge!

I've been tortured by neighborhood subwoofer dicks as well as straight pipe pricks. I'm sorry to be derogatory in tone, here, but those are the mildest words I can bring myself to use for them. A steady rush of tire noise or the like would be welcome by comparison.

I too have serious privacy concerns WRT modern technology. However, seeing as that ship has sailed, stick such systems, with license plate readers, around town, and go after the violators. Triangulation, running video, and repeat logging to confirm the specific offender.

In my county, ostensibly repeat offenders can escalate to having their vehicle impounded. Of course, in real life, nothing is done -- not even a ticket.

People should be given a bit a time to e.g. fix a damaged exhaust. But for those who choose to inflict their noise on others? Better to ruin their lives, than let them ruin ours.

(Can you tell the recent bout of warm weather had left me dealing with this in my neighborhood... :-/ Sorry for being a downer, here. But this is a real, significant stress, and one many friends share. One that is the result of another's willful, selfish choice.)
Ha, made me immediately think of one of my favorite songs!

GPU instructions sets change every year/generation.

Your software would not run next year if you directly targeted the instruction set.

NVIDIA does document their PTX instruction set (a level above what the hardware actually runs):

Whether or not Bitcoin hashing causes harm is precisely the question, and one you seem unwilling to engage with. The evidence that "hashing some data" is causing harm can be found in the linked article and elsewhere throughout the web. But you continue to purposely use specious and minimizing language that makes it seem as if we're just talking about hashing an MD5 address on your specific computer, alone.

Something tells me that even conceding the existence of the aggregate, you would still refuse to acknowledge its relevance, maintaining that the specific instance of your own hashing doesn't cause damage any more than a single snowflake is responsible for an avalanche. But that isn't an argument that Bitcoin mining isn't harmful, it's an argument that you don't care either way.
Honestly, I think it'd be better to get advice from both. Following either advice will unlikely yield the same results, but that doesn't mean either option is without something beneficial to offer.

Wait, they can do that? Assuming weights have copyright, shouldn't the finetuning be a modification of the original work and so have the same license?
You can

I would need more feedback on a specific use case. I started with forwarding development logs in mind, however during the process I quickly realized there might be more use cases when one would find useful forwarding logs to web UI, example: ops, data science, long-running scripts. I hope to get feedback from these angles as well.
I'm not evangelical about the laws of thermodynamics, phase spaces, heat equations, etc. These are just things that reliably work to model and predict the physical world we inhabit (subject to measurement and error bars).

There's nothing particularly spiritual or faith based about such dull repeatable workings.

do you know if pihole or Adguard can configured to support confirming to the router or the client that resolution took place, rather than try the secondary DNS.

If i understand you correctly, if you have a blocking internal DNS running pihole or Adguard and an external general DNS such as google or cloudflare, unless what you described can be configured, the requests that come back "blocked" from pihole would then simply be resolved by google/cloudflare, thus negating the point of pihole.
>> because I really appreciate the level of abstraction it supplies

> which are?

When I am creating a new service/application, I just need to define in my resource what I need... listening ports, persistent storage, CPU, memory, ingress, etc... then I am free to change how those are provided without having to change the app. If a new, better, storage provider comes along, I can switch it out without changing anything on my app.

At my work, we have on premise clusters as well as cloud clusters, and I can move my workloads between them seamlessly. In the cloud, we use EBS backed volumes, but my app doesn't need to care. On the on-prem clusters, we use longhorn, but again my app doesn't care. In AWS, we use the ELB as our ingress, but my app doesn't care... on prem, I use metallb, but my app doesn't care.

I just specify that I need a cert and a URL, and each cluster is set up to update DNS and get me a cert. I don't have to worry about DNS or certs expiring. When I deploy my app to a different cluster, that all gets updated automatically.

I also get monitoring for free. Prometheus knows how to discover my services and gather metrics, no matter where I deploy. For log processing, when a new tool comes out, I can plug it in with a few lines of configuration.

The kubernetes resource model provides a standard way to define my stuff. Other services know how to read that resource model and interact with it. If I need something different, I can create my own CRD and controller.

I am able to run a database using a cluster controller with my on prem cluster without having to manage individual nodes. Anyone who has run a database cluster manually knows hardware maintenance or failure is a whole thing... with controllers and k8s nodes, I just need to use node drain and my controller will know how to move the cluster members to different nodes. I can update and upgrade the hardware without having to do anything special. Hardware patching is way easier.

The k8s model forces you to specify how your service should handle node failure, and nodes coming in or out are built into the model from the beginning. It forces you to think about horizontal scaling, failover, and maintenance from the beginning, and gives a standard way for it to work. When you do a node drain, every single app deployed to the cluster knows what to do, and the maintainer doesn't have to think about it.

>> I don't care that there are 50 ways to do it, I just like having one way.

> Seeing everything as a nail...

I don't think that is a fair comparison, because you can create CRDs if your model doesn't fit any existing resource. However, even when you create a CRD, it is still a standard resource that hooks into all of the k8s lifecycle management, and you become part of that ecosystem.
Don't use GMail. Google mines all of your communications - for advertising and other commercial activities of its partners; and also makes those communications accessible and searchable by some branches of the US federal government, and perhaps other parties.

There are less-privacy-invading alternatives - both paid and gratis - which you should consider. I'd particularly suggest trying options that are not based in the US, the UK or Canada.

(The harder part is avoiding conversing with people who use GMail, but the more of us leave it, the more that can be realized.)
> We need degrowth, and the only way that is achievable without harming standard of living is to have fewer humans

Why are you confident that having fewer humans would help with the standard of living? Doesn't most of the scarcity of what we consume come from the labor necessary to produce it, rather than the cost of physical stuff?

With food for example, for every dollar you spend on food only about 15 cents is actually buying food items from the farmer and the rest of it goes it to the work of processing, packaging, transporting, selling, servicing, etc

(https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-dollar-series/do...)

With fewer people, those things become even more scarce.
I have no idea. I’d imagine using a light shield increases the relative brightness of the displays, which could be important to Apple.

Some users cannot use the thinnest lightshield: their eyes or eyelashes touch the lens.

Apple did make them interchangeable and exchangeable (for free), so it seems like the major FOV issue is with their scanning and auto-selection (for some users).
AdGuard is a Russian company, with Russian engineers, the majority of AdGuard developers and other employees working from Moscow, registered in Cyprus. Not a great recipe. Hard pass on security grounds.
My point is general it’s better to do a deep dive into individual musicians and styles to look for findings than to take a framework of analysis developed for one style of music and use it to compare across very different styles of music.

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn't true
A company in good financial shape with strong positive inertia? Sure, but I don't know that describes Boeing at the time of his hire. (Maybe it does, not sure)

I still don't necessarily disagree, but you left out the second part of my sentence which is rather significant:

"and will be acceptable candidates in the eyes of the board/shareholders."

Sure, Random HN User #587942 might be a decent Apple CEO. Hell, they might even make a great POTUS. Aside from having one's finger on the nuclear button, I think a POTUS is primarily a strong delegator in much the sense that a CEO is.

That doesn't mean they are going to be remotely acceptable as a candidate in the eyes of the board + shareholders. Nobody is going to stick their neck out for Random HN User #587942. They are going to pick somebody with a positive track record of leading big companies.

This isn't ideal! I'm not defending it. I'm just saying why it happens. It's the C-suite equivalent of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM."
If by "centralization" you mean giving more power to central entities that can intervene to fight local abuses and coordinate policies, I don't see a path were we can do without it.

We're in this situation in no small part because big enough companies can just buy their way when facing local entities, and the only recourse that is working is to ask a higher up regulator to intervene. Weakening the regulation entities makes it basically impossible to have anything done.
Isn't that a little naive and idealistic, though? I love FOSS software as much as the next HN user but, for the vast majority of it, it only does the most basic tasks possible and, with few, rare exceptions, gets abandoned or obsoleted when the developers decide that it's not worth their time to work on it anymore. The market can't and won't solve every issue/need/deficiency that people have and, even with your example, the number of issues that every single one of those desktop replacements had dwarfed most of the benefits that using them had. For the vast majority of people that aren't tech nerds like us, the "locked down system" is preferable because it gives an incredibly consistent, polished experience for 99% of the use cases people need it for at the expense of the ability to customize it to your heart's content.

It's the same situation as the loss of headphone jacks and removable batteries. Some of us care deeply about those things but, antithetically to the point you've made, the market has decided that those things are no longer important to the vast majority of people.
As things stand, it seems the anon insider report from 3 weeks back was legitimate and accurate, and holds answers to your question: https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installa...
I really do think that the minimum liability needs to be raised to something like $1 million at least.

There also needs to be much more strict enforcement and scanning for people driving without insurance, that's a huge issue in CO.
It's almost like raising the price of your service 5 times in like 2 years, forbidding sharing, is pissing people off and pushing them back toward "alternative" solutions.

> It's nowhere close for me since I can clearly see the individual pixels and aliasing of the Quest 3 screen.

That doesn't make it not 1080p -- which is what you were originally claiming it was less than.

I can absolutely see the individual pixels on my 1080p projector too. It's not a problem. It's inherent to 1080p content. It's just what the content is. You're not losing any detail.

And I'm happy you've got $5,000+ to drop on a 4K projector, with the space for a 150" screen. But 99+% of people aren't comparing their VR headset to that. If mean sure, I were you, I wouldn't be watching something on a VR headset either.

The online-ification of conversation is so gross. Whenever I hear someone bring up a weird niche online thing (mostly incel/femcel/rightoid/tankie shit) I get so embarrassed for both of us: mostly on me for knowing what a “pickme” or the weird dogwhistles I find out about from a Very Online lifestyle. I agree that the ability to have any good convo forum online is always screwed up by people being mean or basic so fast that it’s barely worth engaging meaningfully with people. Sad state of affairs!
Ask HN: When Should You Leave?
Hi folks,

My question is: how do you know it’s time to leave the company? What are the signs or red flags? I’m asking this because I am at a crosswords in my job. I am a software developer with 4 years of experience.

What is the analogy of leaving out all bolts from that door?

'Forgetting' to put in any of the screws holding a gas tank in place in a car?

'Missing' all welds in one of a skyscraper's lower columns?

What a hopeless shitshow is going on there behind the company gates that these kind of things can happen in succession?

That line stood out to me, because it implies that no proper "manufacturing document" was used for the work. If that's true, that's very bad; unapproved maintenance procedures have been the cause of multiple crashes.
China doesn’t allow non-residents to buy property at all. You have to be working in the city you want to buy in for a few years with documentation if you don’t have hukou there.

Maybe the USA and Canada could do something similar? I find it ironic that it’s primarily Chinese investors who want us to keep our property markets open.
You might want to cite your source on this, which I'm guessing is the purported insider speaking about same?

From the portions of the report that hint at corroboration,

> Documents and photos show that to perform the replacement of the damaged rivets, access to the rivets required opening the left MED plug (see figure 15). To open the MED plug, the two vertical movement arrestor bolts and two upper guide track bolts had to be removed.

I just want an authentication / identity service that lets me select the recovery difficulty (anything from showing my government issued ID or fingerprint verification to actual rapid DNA testing, all for an appropriate fee), along with specifying account beneficiaries in the event of death / incapacitation.

It’s absurd that for ultimate identity, currently services tend to rely on email, google account, or SMS, all of which are some combination of insecure, at risk of banning you on a whim, hard to recover, or prone to spam since they don’t verify real life identity.
Once your team has upgrades down, everything is pretty rote. This submission (Urbit, lol) seemed particularly incompetent at managing cert rotation.

The other capital lesson here? Have backups. The team couldnt restore a bunch of their services effectively, cause they didn't have the manifests. Sure, a managed provider may have less disruptions/avoid some fuckups, but the whole point of Kubernetes is Promise Theory, is Desired State Mamagememt. If you can re-state your asks, put the manifests back, most shit should just work again, easy as that. The team had seemingly no operational system so their whole cluster was a vast special pet. They fucked up. Don't do that.
Any concerns about prior-work / intellectual property rights?

Dear god this! And the fact that if you don't use some special app or special magic combination of a device type and app, you won't get the 4k streams your f*cking paying extra for!

I discovered after 2 years of paying for netflix premium whatever its called the most expensive that i was only getting 1080p on most of my devices because of the app i was using or browser i was using or god knows what other reason.
Mmm that's fair. Well just try your best to meditate when you can. Any amount is better than nothing!

It seems too reductive to say that good engineering strategy is boring, but bad strategy can certainly come from chasing new and exciting. Strategy doesn’t have to be clever, or a unique take on some existing process, or even exceptionally innovative. It can just work, and that’s ok.

I can relate to wanting something simpler to use than a static site generator or a full fledged CMS!

For me to use a personal website application I want it to be open source in case the provider ever disappears. I took this approach with my take on a personal blogging app, PostOwl (https://github.com/PostOwl/postowl). It has a similar in-place editing feel to Pika. Now I just need to offer a hosted version so people don't have to install it themselves!
...But literally the exact same is the case for CPUs and yet we do have public and constant instruction set for decades now?

Altough ofcourse CPU's instruction are also just a frontend api that behind the scenes is implemented using microcode, which probably is much less stable.

But the point is, if we could move one level 'closer' on gpus, just like we have it on cpus, it would stop the big buisness gate-keeping that exsists when it comes to current day GPU apis/libraries
My understanding is that Z mainframes have a number of unique features to support those use cases. Stuff like hot swapping CPUs, and hundreds of IO coprocessors to avoid the main cores from getting blocked. Don't think they're just rebranded x86 machines, but not an expert.
You do realise that Chinese company SOPHGO is selling a 64 bit 2.0 GHz RISC-V chip with 64 OoO cores with dual 128 bit vector pipelines (per core) and 64 MB L3 cache? Chinese company Milk-V is selling these in workstations with 128 GB RAM. Customer deliveries started last month and I know several people whose machines have arrived.
If you're trying to prove the model has reasoning abilities, ask it the question in a language other than English, even better give it multiple sentences in different languages and tell it to answer the question without first translating the sentences.
