> The original owner no longer possesses the commercial value of the thing.

Not exactly: the original owner still has all the commercial value, as decades of piracy has shown that commercial pieces still exist.

What the owner has lost though is monopoly over distribution and thus money exchange. It is possible to get the content from other places, and maybe, maybe not give some money back. The proliferation of exclusive content on numerous platforms only confirms that.
I’m feeling the same
Self-employed since 2005. It's been a slow road and I haven't wanted to lead a big team so it's been a mix of consulting and small projects. One of them is gaining a tiny bit of traction so I'm hopeful I can scale it up. I'd much rather build a software business than lead a consulting business.
> You mean…like both being food that humans can eat?

No, like the part where you need to slaughter and butcher a mammal with feelings and a social circle, after converting old growth forest to logs and pesticides.

Surprised I need to spell that out tbh - you wouldn't be acting disingenuous, would you?

> I don’t have any guilty feelings about the food that I eat that would lead me to be apologetic for the behavior of assholes.

That doesn't mean you aren't feeling guilty, just that you've dissociated from your natural response. Cognitive dissonance is a real thing.

And, who asked you to "be apologetic for the behavior of assholes"? Is this now about you feeling victimized somehow? Because one vegan, one time, said something to you from outside a restaurant? ... Okay, I guess. Weird though.

The average high in Kodiak Alaska is 60F.

> That's where I disagree. I think individual rights must trump collective rights.

That's an utterly insane principle to follow, though one that's often made seductively appealing by propaganda full of cherry-picking and oversimple toy models.

The only sensible position is that individual and collective rights must be balanced. If you go too far towards exclusively favoring one or another, you get terrible outcomes for most people.
If the market sees movies as being worthless (a price of 0), why would they even consider making movies? Clearly nobody wants them.
What is your point with the example? If it was outside of your control, surely the manager did the right thing by ignoring that there was nothing accomplished in the end?
but muh mask mandates!

Presumably these will be "adult only" spaces? To prevent the kinds of problems NY and other cities have had with people watching children in playgrounds and similar?

In my quite rural area, that has a cultural pride in "government dis-involvement", we can't have a pool in the yard without it has a serious fence and other "liability shield" stuff. What's the liability legalese look like for public baths today? "caught chlamydia from the cheap seats" suits incoming shortly after opening, I'd guess.

People love saying this about Black Hat and Defcon, but I can't think of an important research result disclosed at Defcon 31 that wasn't a Black Hat talk. More good research gets turned down for Black Hat (which can only accept 3-5 talks per track) than appears at Defcon. Median Defcon talk quantity is approximately that of a good regional conference.

And that makes sense. Talks aren't really the point of Defcon, and they are (besides the lobby conf) the sole point of Black Hat. Black Hat is also a vendor circlejerk, but that fact confuses people who don't actually practice in the field.
Think about unplugging from the side thats _delivering_ the power. As you pull it out, the GND (which is further in and needs to travel out as it's unplugged) will contact the live VCC.

Even from the power consumer side, there is a chance that a single female side contact (eg VCC) may touch two adjacent TRRS sections as the plug is being removed.
I agree that it's problematic, however:

> welfare/health care system is bad, taxes are not used well

There's a widespread lack of trust in the Polish government, which decreased even further during the 2015-2023 period. If the money is being funelled to the ruling politicians' families and friends, why willingly pay high taxes? I believe this is an underlying core issue, which would probably take a new generation to repair.
That was a highly-conditional offer, that I suspect the U.S. administration felt was designed to give the Taliban and bin Laden breathing room to escape/hide/whatever their next move would have been.
In those links, the Taliban wasn't offering to hand Bin Laden over to the US, they were offering to hand him over to a third country that would never hand him over to the US. We can argue about whether Bush should have agreed to that offer, but it's a far cry from "refusing to take him":

> Afghanistan's deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.

> "If the Taliban is given evidence that Osama bin Laden is involved" and the bombing campaign stopped, "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country", Mr Kabir added.

> But it would have to be a state that would never "come under pressure from the United States", he said.
That's directly contradicted by the definitions on the BLS site. If don't have a job, want a job, and tried to look for a job in the last 4 weeks, you're counted towards the U3 number. Aside from the "tried to look for a job in the past 4 weeks", how long you've been unemployed doesn't factor into it.
Our lives are already bare to data brokers.

Besides, there is a difference between personal lives and the dealings of a government. The latter is supposed to work for us. Do what is the in our best interest. Why do they need to keep secrets? Even military related decisions shouldn't be a secret. If they decide to attack Iraq, I'd like to see a transcription of all related discussions prior to the attack. Surely, if the attack was in the best interest of the people, there is nothing to hide, right? I'm not talking about undercover agents that can risk lives; I'm talking about the type of the discussions that are kept secret because they _aren't_ in the best interest of the people.

Transparency works.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, understanding the right metrics to monitor can significantly impact operational efficiency, innovation, and strategic decision-making. I'm Sam Kelley, working on Cloudmate, a cloud management application designed to cater to the nuanced needs of today’s businesses and tech leaders. We're on a mission to enhance Cloudmate's functionality by diving deep into the metrics that truly matter.

From your experience:

Which cloud metrics do you prioritize for optimal performance and cost management?

How do these metrics influence your decisions in cloud architecture, security, and overall strategy?

Are there any emerging metrics or trends that you believe will become more critical in the near future?

Your insights could not only guide our development process but also enrich the broader conversation around effective cloud management practices. Whether you're deeply embedded in DevOps, a CTO navigating cloud transformation, or a startup founder leveraging cloud technologies, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I've never quite understood why TUIs on *nix systems seem so downright unfriendly compared to TUIs on ye olde MS-DOS systems. Some of them are excusable, sure. vi predates consumer TUIs, and vim clones it. Emacs at least has a menu bar, even if there's no on-screen indication that F10 activates it.

But tmux was created in 2007. I can think of no reason for it to have such an obtuse UI other than "they're just like that on *nix". Would at be so much to ask to at least by default have a "press C-b ? for help" on screen?
Probably not popular to go off on this branch but...

The Problem is not the tool. The problem isn't even the users per se. The Problem is that the "curators" (?) of the experience(s) provided by the tool have their own best interests in mind. They're not working to better us, they have their own self-serving agenda.

I recently read "Stand Out of Our Light". To paraphrase what was for me a key paragraph:

"Some of the best and brightest experts on human behavior are being generously funded by some of the most influential and wealthiest companies in the history of the world...to tilt as much as possible in their own favor (not our own). Given that reality, we don't stand a chance.'

It's not us.

It's them.

To believe other at this pount is naive.

Only c7a.48xlarge or (ideally) its c7a-48.metal equivalent instance. Otherwise you’ve got a CPU-stealing neighbor.
Yes, as long as I remember not to overspend when things are going well, to cover for future failures.
Well, yes. Isn’t that the situation the article is describing? Suction isn’t a real thing, so-

I didn't hear about yandex until last year, and it was probably from this website, and only as an option for duckduckgo to use use for image search.
I have worked for a company similar in size to Google for a long time. During covid I experienced the highest high of my 18 years here. Flexibility was suddenly rampant (it was forced, but still) in a company that had been stodgy and inflexible since its founding. They began hiring just like Google and every other company did, so jobs were plentiful. This had a 'rising tide' effect on everyone (I got a promotion without asking for it, which is basically unheard of). Suddenly, I was able to define my work pretty much universally, and I was appreciated for doing do. It created an environment where I and my colleagues all wanted to contribute more than ever before. We put in tons of extra hours, many even unpaid.

Side note: it was RTO mandates that killed this.

But I digress. It made me wonder: is this fun, experimenting, creative, flexible environment one that pops up in general when all companies first form and the business realities of non-unlimited funding haven't caught up with the leadership yet? Is it something that hits all companies for a while when the economy is on an upward trend (as I attested to in my own company)? Have people found pockets of this kind of environment, even in the worst of times?

I'm trying to figure out when and where it exists so I can find it again. I'd never experienced it until covid, and now that I have, I want it back, and for the first time, I'm willing to do something major to get it because I know now what it feels like. It feels like Star Trek Generations, where that guy is trying to do whatever he can to get back on the nexus (except I'm not trying to destroy a planet).
I've got one on my backlog that I already have the parts for, just need to set it up.

We leave the radio on for our dog when we're not home. I have a z-wave button that triggers Home Assistant to turn on the AVR to radio and set the volume to a decent level. But on rare occasion the Shield Android TV plugged into the same AVR sees it turning on as an invitation for it to also turn on(which it should if we were actually setting the AVR to it's input source). And when it turns on, the TV also turns on.

I could detect the AVR is on the wrong source and switch it back to radio, but the TV would stay on because the AVR outputs info about the radio channel to the TV.

I don't keep my TV on the network so my plan is to setup a WiFi controlled IR blaster that will turn off the TV when I detect the AVR is on the wrong input.
Ask HN: The most recommended way to offload model training to cloud GPU in 2024?
Hello,

As in title, what in your opinion is the most best/easiest/cost effective way to offload model training to cloud GPU right now and pay only for training time?

Use case: You don't have a powerful GPU and want to train models on someone else's GPU, while running the rest of the code related to the model on your local machine
This doesn’t really help you in this case, because the patch is to generate the UUIDs in the database?
I don't know, most professionals in HK I have met are pretty open to challenging people but maybe that's just the people I choose to work with.

In any case what I find strange is that usually HK finance companies (like much of the rest of the world) will have some kind of maker-checker system which prevents individual mistakes like this.

Yes, it's called Almost Perfect. I previously followed the illustrator Luis who co-runs it, and applied back in 2022.

https://almostperfect.jp

However, the current "version" of Almost Perfect is ending in about a year, and I think they are fully booked until then:

https://www.instagram.com/almostperfecttokyo/p/C2PCMtpS_wq/

It's been a fun experience, though - I shared a house with an illustrator from LA. I spent time exploring Tokyo and working on Booklet. At the end, every resident gives a gallery - normally it's visual, such as drawings, but mine became a presentation.
I enjoyed that.

She heard this story and she shook her head and said, "Where do people find the time?" That was her question. And I just kind of snapped. And I said, "No one who works in TV gets to ask that question. You know where the time comes from. It comes from the cognitive surplus you've been masking for 50 years."
--snip--

That made me laugh.
When I got my first job, my older parents and extended family members laughed (in a friendly way) that these new tech companies were letting me work “bankers’ hours”. One older relative had serious concerns for my job because I said my boss liked to arrive at 7:30AM every day but I didn’t show up until 9. That was unthinkable to them.

When they grew into the corporate world you were expected to be there before your boss and stay until after your boss left, finishing any last minute work before the next morning. Weekend work and long travel days were common.

Going back even further, I heard stories and saw photos about my ancestors struggling to secure enough food to eat every year. Black and white photos of what was left of their dirt-floored houses. Every day was work and worry about securing basics for survival of the family farm.

So if your job is a clean 8 hours of desk work with some meetings and e-mails mixed in, I’d say it’s actually less demanding than what was expected years ago.
LSP servers are such an important part of my workflow that it just makes more sense to manage their installation myself, makes it simpler to track their configurations and version. LSP-mode does ship an ad-hoc package manager if you want that.

- Snap said it would lay off 10% of its workforce worldwide, around 500 employees, to “promote in-person collaboration.”

- The Snapchat-maker’s last major round of cuts was in 2022, when it laid off 20% of staff.
I never talked about GDP. I meant per capita. How people lived.

I can tell you because many spanish families emigrated there.

I know cases from friends whose parents are from those countries.

I am spanish and it was common knowledge that those places had higher income at that time.
Clarification not needed -- the trainings are the only sensible reason to be there.
> It would be quite unfortunate to end up with a UUID v7 in PostgreSQL that’s not quite the standardized one because the patch got merged too quickly.

As I recall, all the jobs are checked into a repo that is deployed to all the runners, which each start gearman workers for their assigned role.
We use Rails with some sprinkles of VueJS but we're a team of two and haven't had to hire in a while. Although when we did hire last (a few years ago) it wasn't really a problem finding people.

I would and do use it for new projects as well. The ecosystem is excellent, Rails itself is adding new/useful features all the time. I don't know what would happen if our app scaled to crazy huge traffic loads, I assume we would adapt. Right now we're around 70k monthly active users but a year ago that was double and we didn't really have any performance issues. We've been able to use Sidekiq and Kafka to ingest huge loads of data on the backend without needing to do anything too crazy.

So yeah I don't really understand why Rails has to prove itself over and over again - it works, it keeps improving still after all this time. Its great.

Many of those highly talented individuals will likely end up channeling their skills into areas that one could view as equally negative societally

Or they could go the other way. Just like after previous bubbles.

When the real estate bubble burst and took a good chunk of the financial industry with it, plenty of people went into healthcare, or the arts, or started their own small businesses without the goal of taking over the world.

People aren't boolean. They aren't rats trained to only go after the biggest piece of cheese. The vast majority have human-scale goals and families and desires. Very few people, even in the tech sector, are comic book villains.
Wonder what happened to Jetbrains. They have a CZ entity but the largest part of the workforce was in Russia.
> We're using Rust/Actix

This looks like a web service framework, rather than a web application framework like Rails/Django. Like it's closer to Sinatra/Express than Rails -

The speed of Rails comes with rapid development & strong conventions leaving the important stuff (like business logic and building something) to you.

Once you get to a size where scale is an issue with Rails, you'll have a startup that's working - it's a better problem to have than a startup that has perfect fast code but no customers.
If we’re ignoring the second sentence of my reply, Anchorage would probably be the winner.
Trying to explain is dodgy - it never works for jokes, either. But I think they represent a bundle of interesting contrasts that hits a sweet spot for a lot of us. Most people have made a Mobius strip out of ephemeral paper and thrown it away after fiddling with it; these are hard-wrought, complex artisinal craftings from the same family of ideas. The idea of "Klein bottle art" at first sounds rigid and limited, but the variation shows lovely creativity and artistic sense. They riff off the low humor of a dribble glass by mixing it with the sophistication of advanced math. The artist stays down-to-earth and accessible, even though he's clearly walked quite a way down a particular road of practice and experimentation that the rest of us are only going to admire from afar.
This isn't a hot take. It's just wrong.

Black Hat is peer reviewed and accepts a tiny fraction of submissions (tracks will accept 3-5 talks out of a typical pool of 20-50). Reviewers --- all of them vulnerability researchers --- barely have time to read outlines and look for any possible excuse to DQ a submission and move on to the next one, and the single most common DQ is "the presenter has a commercial interest in this topic, vendor talk, 1.0 rating".

There is also a giant vendor expo that runs alongside Black Hat, and vendors do whatever they can to stage events that look like Black Hat talks but are not. I submit that you have probably confused those for actual talks. Or: you watched the keynote? I don't understand what the keynote is for.

Here are the actual 2023 talks:

Insurers don't want to pay for unnecessary treatments, including equipment. Maybe your provider could have done a better job selecting the right mask or settings for the CPAP? Maybe they could have trained you in their office?

I'm not saying the surveillance and payment-held-hostage model is the best, but it does at least attempt to provide some useful incentives.
Ah yes, the old “percent growth” joke. All of these are growth by one unit:

0 t0 1: infinite % growth

1 to 2: 100% growth

10 to 11: 10%

100 to 101: 1%

“Fastest growing” often means “smallest starting number.”

Can anyone compare Zellij with Byobu? Seems like it was the previous "new hotness".
Pick your horse to bet on. They both have great teams behind them. Bun (written in Zig) claims higher performance. It looks promising but independent tests have yet to validate these claims.

They also kinda have different goals. Bun seeks to be more of a drop-in replacement from Node whereas Deno, being spearheaded by the same person who made Node, seeks to move the industry forward and fix mistakes Deno made. However Deno, out of necessity, has also highly valued backwards compatibility with the Node ecosystem

If we look at the tech giants, almost none of them has retained the original founders at the helm, and I guess for the same reason that leading a huge corporation requires a very specific life style and compromises, than tech founders are used to.

I believe Arkady Volozh could continue to lead Yandex but he would have to turn into Herman Gref, in terms of loyalties, how he spends his time and the people who he will have to interact with. He choose not to, and that was perhaps a decade ago.
Advice for Learning Statistics
There is a huge difference between “learning how to code” and “learning how to pass coding interviews”. What you actually do at any job - BigTech or not - is completely different from what you learn “grinding leetCode”.

If there is more of a prerequisite than “learning how to pass coding interviews” to get into Google, how do juniors with no real world experience get in?
