Have a look at https://www.serverlessmaps.com/ which uses PMTiles to generate the tiles from OSM data. It's also possible to host the PMTiles directly on S3 and use HTTP range requests to retrieve the desired bounding boxes. Under the hood, it uses CloudFront as CDN, Lambda@Edge functions and S3 (see architecture at https://github.com/serverlessmaps/serverlessmaps/#architectu...)

It's a very cost-effective solution as CloudFront has a 1TB/Month free tier, compared to hosted solutions.
I find CNC is very much like programming:

I'm too lazy to spend an hour making something by hand, but perfectly enthusiastic to spend a day getting a machine to make it.
That wasn't my experience with No Russian. You can get through it without killing anyone. You do have to keep firing otherwise the mission ends, but you can just fire in the air.

And of course it lets you skip it altogether which was pretty nice IMO.
>Texan here. Your ad hominem attack is BS

Ad hominem means "against a specific person". He made a general argument. Might be good or bad, but in no way it was an ad hominem. Arguing how a group of people conflate or tend to misrepresent this or that, is not an ad hominem.
The industry is very entrenched in regulation that is not going to change anytime soon. I just find it difficult to imagine any room for disruption with an agency like the FAA having full control over who and what gets to pilot an airplane, but also hates to certify experimental aircraft. Autonomous aircraft are going to be a century away at least due in part to red tape because there is almost no on-ramp to enter this industry.

I am also not hopeful for battery technology as, unlike cars, where we are not weight sensitive, commercial aircraft rely on being able to land lighter than they took off due to fuel burn. In small aircraft, battery storage can work for short runs, but we’re going to need to see some sort of fuel cell system for anything commercially viable.

All things have to be atomic, individual, always. There is no society and no society level discourse allowed, using individuals as samples. Any discussion of societal level problems and solutions is heavily discouraged, by those running societies. You must focus more on the self, the small unit. Always.
Change is forbidden, and subverted through the discussion culture that reflects on it.
I would like to add two points:

1. With very low (zero) interest rates, investors are scrambling to find anything that offers non-negative real yield. So those conditions increased the amount of funds begging to be invested.

2. With 20+ years of startups, all the low hanging fruit has been picked. Startups are having to target ever more complex problems and correspondingly smaller addressable markets.

i thought i could enjoy woodworking, but i was wrong.

i attended two 1-day woodworking courses: hand tools and machine tools. i made a nice bench/stool thingy that i still enjoy daily.

however, every time i work with wood, my mind immediately goes to CAD, 3d printing and wishing i had a CNC. i look at my soft baby hands (i can’t go bouldering for shit) and walk to the keyboard, create a parametric model in a notebook (build123d is great!), slice it and send it off to one of my printers…

That's fairy tale thinking. Commie blocks in Eastern Europe won't get torn down and they have 1 parking space per 3 apartments. How is it going to work there? Some people live in houses in former "worker colonies" built in 19th century during industrialization. They don't have place to park either so they are parking wherever it is possible. So your scenario is not going to work.
Except that kids change your life in major significant ways and there's basically no going back. So it's not exactly like that.

Absolutely all chip designs get software emulated/simulated for rigorous testing before being sent to the fab for production.

It seems like the publication turned what is industry standard into a sensationalistic article.

The only thing Nvidia did different was rolling directly to tapeout with their simulated design without any intermediate prototypes which was indeed a risky move but not unheard of for cash strapped semi startups.

Part of this is that South Korea was practically closed to immigration until around 2004 outside of the "usual" workarounds (marrying a local, or significant investment), and so it's become increasingly urgent.

They've liberalised a lot since, but it'll take a long time for them to develop a reputation as somewhere people will think of as a destination to migrate to.

Ok.. and? Why would that translate to these kinds of valuations? The open source models seem pretty close behind. Close enough to wipe out a huge chunk of any potential valuation at the very least.

“My whining multi tweet rant to Sam Altman”
Oh no, you are presenting a simple problem that would take you, cryptonym, all of 30 seconds to figure out a solution to since you are obviously smart enough to think things through. In fact, you could even cheat by looking at the other responder who responded before you suggesting a public auction which is what I was alluding to by saying "anybody" as in you must allow all people (within reason) to compete to purchase, not choose a specific person.

Can you try to spend 30 seconds countering whatever problems you came up with and only then propose non-trivial problems? I promise I gave the idea more than 30 seconds of thought and did think of the obvious problems, it is just tiring to exhaustively list out and pedantically enumerate a complete proposal instantiated for this specific domain. That is also why I explicitly said it solves the central 90% and would require tuning and mechanisms to reduce abuse since I do, in fact, know the proposal is incomplete, just that the problems I am aware of with this class of solution generally appear to be quite amenable to solutions that should be at least as robust as the status quo.
I don't think it's either.

Modern Data Stack is a set of characteristics - cloud based, SaaS, consumption based pricing, ELT bias, open source bias, component based etc.

> I have three kids. I reckon the first cost more than $200,000 by age 5. No major medical problems

That is certainly not typical.

Most of the people having kids where I grew up don't even see that amount of money. They're having kids just fine.
Life Cycle of a Silver Bullet (2003) [pdf]
Sure. That's why it's (arguably) a bubble: it's speculation about the future.

But the pattern of history is pretty clear on this: it's not the first movers that capture the value. In this specific case the value seems to be captured quite well by open source models too.
I think the modern-day equivalent would be test-driven development; in both cases (unless I don't get it) is that you make sure you understand the problem and write verifications before you start on a solution.

Of course, this doesn't work for every problem / task.
The sea is a harsh environment, but the energy it contains, in the form of waves (basically concentrated wind) and tides is enormous (partly thanks to the density of water.)

Of course, like with all renewable, location matters. But there are lots of places with strong tides, and lots of places with reliable waves.

Harvesting this abundant energy at scale, with reasonable maintenence costs will be the next breakthrough in green energy.

For me, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is still the best management book out there for 2 reasons:

1. It clearly explains the difference between a leader and a manager, and how those are 2 different roles

2. "Stewardship management" is so powerful that another book has been written about the application of that concept: "Turn the ship around"

I always evaluate everything about management to the previous 2 concepts.
I was expecting more boring technologies. I have worked at companies +100 employees with a similar setup.

> In-home daycare offers a lower price and some better availability, but are often unlicensed.

This is the problem. You're wanting a first class experience for your kid, and this probably causes you to overlook other viable options that are less expensive.

> In my area, the wait is around 18 months for a slot in a different daycare center.

Wait lists? There's likely service available, you're just setting a quality threshold.

> And of course, switching childcare providers is way harder than switching grocery stores. Your kid has feelings, grows attached to the caregivers, and make friends.

We have de-risked our species so much that we now care about children's daycare preferences.

Some other commenter mentioned spending $200,000 on their five year old kid. This is not typical.

As a species, we used to have multiple kids because we just accepted that some of them would die. We are so far on the other end of the spectrum now that children are being treated as princes and princesses.

Kids can be as expensive as you want them to be. People are buying their dogs and cats ridiculous things like treadmills these days, so of course it figures that some parents must be doing even crazier stuff for their human children.

This is learned consumer behavior.

Children are being over-invested in to a degree that some would-be interested people just aren't even bothering to get started (one of several reasons this is happening). I'm not saying don't love your kids, but it looks like having them has become a perfectionist goal that can't be reached.

Accept imperfection and less than perfect.
dbt was a huge leap forward in this regard.

It enables source code control, modularity, testing, CI/CD, environments, documentation, git branching, local development experience.

Not a fanboy, but it's who reason for being is basically to enable "software engineering practices for data".
>The number of people who both know C++ (not C) and how to use an oscilloscope is surprisingly small.

Statements like these make my eyes roll.

The difficult part in embedded, and what makes the difference between a n00b spending 2 months finding a hardware/firmware issue and a graybeard finding it in under 2 days, is not how to use an oscilloscope or how to write "clean" c++, it's knowing where exactly to put the oscilloscope probes and what exactly to look for on the oscilloscope screen, and how to make the bug/edge case reproducible.

You don't have unlimited scope probes, trace memory and time to probe every single signal on the board and stare at blank signals not knowing what to look for, for weeks, while th clock is ticking.

Tinkering with STM32s and Raspberry Pis at home for fun, doesn't prepare you for the issues you'll encounter in debugging production devices (especially battery powered or RF) you'll need to ship on time and on budget.

Knowing how to use a scope and how to write c++ is only 10% of a successful product. The other 90% is blood, sweat and tears hunched over for hours/days over boards and breakpoints to find out your race condition comes from a cheap crystal oscillator operating out of spec and not from your software.

Especially that at small companies and start-ups you don't have the budgets and HW lab equipment that the likes of Apple or Qualcomm can afford to brute force your way to the solution, so you need to be very shrewd and clever with your debugging to make the most out of your limited resources.
> It's wild that, not too long ago, you could afford a house and a car on a single income as a mailman. That is unthinkable today.

to be fair it was unthinkable the day before yesterday too. in the history of human civilisation, that kind of setup has only been possible in a handful of countries, for a few skin colours, for a couple of decades. fueled by burning cheap fossil fuels taken from poorer countries

Ok yeah people have tried several times to unsuccessfully SWAT sitting members of Congress. Like clearly there is a list of addresses like "this address belongs to a Congress person, proceed with caution." Dispatch should add OP to this list.

However, it is the job of the officer to investigate. I doubt it is the officer's first day in life in the United States. They know how things work here.

Yeah, cities hate paying out for police officers who get hurt and disabled on the job and have decided it is cheaper to pay for "bad apples" than to have a police force that shows humanity. This we have this situation where police officers shoot to preserve their own life just in case the suspect is armed (a valid assumption when getting hold of a gun is easy).

> A well written GC has the same throughout (or higher) than reference counting for most applications

Reference counting has its own problems. The true comparison should be with code that (mostly) doesn’t do reference counting.

Then, the claim still holds, IF you give your process enough memory. https://cse.buffalo.edu/~mhertz/gcmalloc-oopsla-2005.pdf:

“with five times as much memory, an Appel-style generational collector with a non- copying mature space matches the performance of reachability- based explicit memory management. With only three times as much memory, the collector runs on average 17% slower than explicit memory management. However, with only twice as much memory, garbage collection degrades performance by nearly 70%. When physical memory is scarce, paging causes garbage collection to run an order of magnitude slower than explicit memory management.”

That paper is old and garbage collectors have improved, but I think there typically still is a factor of 2 to 3.

Would love to see a comparison between modern recounting and modern GC, though. Static code analysis can avoid a lot of recount updates and creation of garbage.
I can't help thinking that this title would be improved by adding "some".
I always just use -o port=<xx> for this reason.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors to raise as much as $5 trillion to $7 trillion for AI chip manufacturing

Altman has reportedly met with a range of potential investors worldwide, including sovereign wealth funds and government entities, notably the United Arab Emirates, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and representatives from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

the prospect of substantial UAE investment in a key tech industry raises potential geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding the US government's strategic priorities in semiconductor production and AI development.

At least 2 seems unlikely in isolation to me.

almost everyone I know who is somewhat 'digitally-savvy' (and even some others) use GPT for various things. I, as a very early adopter, use llm's of various kinds for more and more things; my conservative estimate is that I do at leat two 'requests' an hour, but obviously ANY real interactive session balloons those requests to bigger and more.

So aside from the fact that LLM's are already used so much in such a short time, I fully expect that as UI's get better, even if everything else stays the same, more and more things will be (subtly) LLM-powered. Because a lot of the stuff I do regularly are super useful to non-techies, and it's just a matter of UX/acclimatization.

For what it's worth, I'm not a 'fan' of what I think is a a pandora's box of sorts, culturally especially. I unironically call mine Gepetto to remind me that I might not be as much in the driver's seat as I'd like, pulling the metaphorical car strings.

okay, sorry about this turning into a glorified blogpost :)

> and live close to your family so that you have grandparents to help with childcare.

Issue with this now is how concentrated certain industries are. Here in the UK, if I want to work in software, you need to move to a handful of expensive cities. London, Oxford, Cambridge, maybe Bristol or Manchester. Maybe some others if you're happy in a non-software job. Certainly not the rural farming town I grew up in, or anywhere within hours of driving.

So people move away. And now I'm faced with either delaying kids so I can get reasonably set-up in a city where a 500sqft flat costs £300,000 or moving away from all my friends and maybe even further from my family to afford a house.
Even if you were old enough, you probably wouldn't have witnessed it because it was only being worked on by a small number of people. There must be amazing future things which are in their early days right now but you and me aren't involved with them and nobody knows for sure what they even are until they explode.

I'm old enough to remember the early days of Bitcoin and how nobody I talked to about it had ever heard of it and was either dismissive ("That would be easy to hack" / "that can't work") or just treated it like a random chit-chat that didn't matter.
It is an interesting idea. It might be possible to improve measures by subtracting some things that can be adjusted for that are harmful. There are lots of problems though - for example, higher expenditure on health might be a result of worsening mental health (bad), or better provision of services (good).

That still does not solve the underlying problem. The aim of an economy is to maximise utility (vaguely defined as happiness, satisfaction with life) or more meaningfully defined as an individual's preferences, The problem is that we cannot meaningfully aggregate this across individuals to maximise for the whole economy.
> At the end of the day, it is a cultural “problem” that potential parents are unwilling to have children. If anything, the material costs of entertainment, food, education, etc. are magnitudes lower today than a century ago, and yet a century ago it was normal to have 3-4 children.

Curiously, the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child was from 1924.

Yeah, it's easier to have kids if you care less about their wellbeing, and if one of the ways of dealing with the expense is sending them to work in a factory.
One day I'd like to get into wood carving, making little decorative figures and the like, but the lack of space + storage is currently a major roadblock for me.

Definitely seems more feasible than a lot of crazy energy ideas! E.g. I think this makes more sense than the air versions because you don't have problems launching/landing or when the wind stops.

Probably the biggest issues I could imagine are maintenance and wildlife. They might be minor issues though. Also in most of the world (maybe not the Faroe Islands) this has to compete with solar & batteries which are getting cheaper and cheaper. If this is more than £5-10m then I think solar and batteries would be a much better option in most of the world.
It's been a SAM interface since 2017 and basically hasn't changed at all.
