When I was at FastMail I did a lot of very manual work to not just block spammers and other abusers, but to make their life as difficult as possible. That included figuring out how to notify the people running the servers they used (including sometimes finding the IRC chat for the folks on that server and telling them they had an intruder). One of my favorite things was to redirect bounce messages that were targeted at innocent FastMail customers to the actual spammer's email address -- which I found stopped the spam from them very quickly, once their inbox filled up with thousands of bounce messages!

Personally, I think it's reasonable to care about such things, and to try to do something about it. If no-one cares or tries, then sucky people will just suck even more.
These aren't like-for-like comparisons, as demonstrated by how there are multiple implementations of each 'benchmark'.

Picking the fastest JS and non-JS binary trees there, for example, the JS one relies on the garbage collector, which means that in practice it can bump allocate all of its temporary objects, and the GC will never run, so they will never be freed.

The Rust one in comparison is allocating a bunch of ref-counted handles. It is automatically going to lose.

EDIT: I dug around that site more and if you pull up 'JavaScript vs Rust' for the same benchmark, JS is still faster. So I don't understand why you're even using this for a 'JS is faster than WASM' argument if it appears to be saying that JS is also faster than Rust.

> As second or third generation Americans, they aren’t quite homogenized enough to be Americans.

They are as homogenized as they choose to be. I enjoy M. Night Shyamalan‘s cameos, where there will be a random brown guy in a town full of white people and nobody will comment on it. Because that’s what life is like as an Asian in America 99% of the time.

> But as not born in China/India/etc, they are obviously soft decadent Americans.

But they are though. Which is why “Asian” American content is usually so awful to watch as an immigrant. So often it’s about rejecting Asian culture and values in favor of European ones, while complaining about people sometimes making fun of your school lunch or noticing that you look like your parents didn’t fight in the American Revolution. (I’m looking at you Mindy Kaling.)

> It’s like saying the Godfather isn’t valid art because Fellini made movies in Italy.

I’ve never met an Italian American that purports to have some special affinity for The Godfather. They don’t care whether Coppola was Italian nor do they care Brando wasn’t the least bit Italian. It would be silly for a second or third generation Italian American to hold out the distinctiveness of their identity the way you see similarly assimilated Asian Americans do.
I do the same. My blog on a 9€/mo Contabo VPS survived multiple HN/Reddit hugs.

Lateley I've been playing with more configuration options like I have two servers configured behind a load balancer but with a heavy focus on server 1. Only if the response time of server 1 is under 500ms, server two is used, which hosts an almost identical site but with ads. So under normal circumstances nobody will see ads on my blog unless I get a huge spike (more than 600 concurrent users ususall)

We need something that dictates how commercial software can be distributed, installed, and what it can automate and do without your consent.

Software increasingly adds itself to "run at startup" automatically. Nobody needs to have a bunch of startup user interface apps. It is completely unnecessary and has little purpose other than data collection.

A work VPN I have to use requires a startup background service. I'm not even using it, it does not need the service to operate at boot. Steam service does this too, as do many other applications.

Microsoft will remove my group policy that disables their useless and performance destroying antivirus. The software that is one of the big 10 in causes for why windows laptops are trash. FYI AV's are humorously easy to bypass. Adblockers and browser settings are more effective.

On MacOS I can just disable these easily. On windows, I need auto runs to ensure, and either the application breaks (steam) or it'll turn itself back on.

I tried many different diet types, keto hypetrain etc, eventually had me and my gf write down the calories of EVERYTHING I consume, used an onlinr calculator to determine my resting calorie consumption was 2500, and that if I ate 1000 calories less than this every day I would lose approximately 1kg a week. I've kept daily logs and weighed myself daily for a few months. The trend becomes quite clear ob larger time scales, results match predictions almost exactly. (short term fluctuations are misleading - daily fluctuations in weight is larger than the weekly change you wanna measure - but plot it, and you will be enlightened as I was - surprised to realise calories really matter no matter what diet you follow - but it is healthier or more sustainable to consume healthy calories - nontheless for weight loss - nr of calories cannot be overcame through any other aspect of dieting)
Openness about benchmarks are great, but for me (and I think many others) these benchmarks of mesh vpn are useless.

If I have all hosts on 10G physical segment why would I use mesh vpn between them?

IMHO, interesting case for mesh vpn is very heterogeneous setup: fir example, 2 hosts in different DCs, 2 hosts on assymetrical ove4subscribed domestic links (ADSL/DOCSIS), 2 mobiles in different ends of the world (lte at best) and 2 laptops on cafee wifis (again, in different countries).

Then it IS mesh network.
But it's true, in fact it's an understatement: a 8gb mac makes you look way cooler than an 32gb pc.
If you use digital ocean i guarantee your cost will be less than $100k.
In my last job, We used AWS for a big website, our spending cost were $10k, switched to digitalocean first bill was close to $1500, with around same users.
our site was related to news and there was a forum too that's why the cost were high.
Nope.

Shilling for corporate might seem like a desirable thing, but unless you are on top of corporate and you only pretend to shill for corps there is really nothing in there for you.

Businesses can (and will!) fuck over customers if given the chance. And the way they are fiven the chance is by not having laws preventing behaviour like that.

Additionally, such reactions are in front of a big audience. Petty revenge might feel warranted to simple minds, but for an airline that one case is irrelevant, and the effect such things have on the resr of the audience is what counts. And judging by the reactions in this thread this move is one that damages the airline more than it helps preventing any future problems.
It's amazing what performance you can get by simply putting in as much RAM as your data needs - if plugging in a terabyte or two of RAM ensures that all your data is "in cache" on a single system (+ e.g. a mirror for redundancy) instead of having to constantly read from disk or do horizontal scaling, that's a relatively cheap way to get a simple&performant system.

> pyflakes and a few tests find a great majority (not all) of errors devs actually have.

No they don't. First of all people are really bad at writing tests. Secondly, writing tests sucks; I would much rather write static type annotations than tedious type checking tests: you know when to stop and you get the other benefits of static types like making the code easier to read and navigate.

Every piece of code I've added static typing to has revealed bugs. One we later hit in production (because the author was stupidly against static typing so I gave up trying to help him).

That bug was simply calling a method that didn't even exist. It was in a code path that wasn't tested, despite having some tests.

But I can see you're from the school of "I don't make mistakes" and convincing you otherwise is about as effective as trying to persuade Christians there isn't a god.

I bought one recently, a K8. I was also confused, I think I had to find a reddit thread explaining what the ranges were ...

IIRC Q is the full-fat, fully programmable, hot-swappable top of the range. V is like Q but a bit more budget-friendly, may have plastic cases etc. K is their 'standard' range, some have hot-swappable switches, some don't, generally not programmable. C is budget K, wired only.

But then there's various pro, max, god knows what variants. It's a ludicrously wide product range.

All I can say for sure is I really like my K8.

Google, Microsoft Will Dominate AI as Computing Costs Surge
Definitely wouldn't call it "Photopea for video", but it's free (though not FOSS) and multiplatform: DaVinci Resolve is a free NLE desktop program available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Exports are limited to 3840x2160 60fps on the free version, but that's good enough for most use cases.

Aside from increased resolution and framerate, the main differences with $300 Studio version is that it allows you to use multi-GPU setups, advanced noise reduction, lens correction, better color grading capabilities, scripting and automation with Python and LUA, along with some other things.

So Studio is definitely nice to have if you're doing professional editing, but the free version is good enough for many hobbyists.

Unlike Photopea, I don't think Resolve has any compatibility with Adobe products' files (such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.)

However, it is a tool that's been used for color grading or editing several major films and TV shows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaVinci_Resolve#Media_produced...

I've tried other free tools, and Resolve definitely seems to be the most powerful. However, it's almost certainly not the easiest to use. If you're just wanting to trim video clips, combine different clips into one video, crop and add some background music or VO, etc., there's probably easier free tools to use out there.

So many places on the internet used to be wonderful places of discussion. I remember as a teenager I would come to the internet and be in awe at this system that mankind created to allow for all humans to come together and discuss.

But I’ve noticed since 2015 every single discussion place I used to frequent online has become horrible.

I discovered hacker news only recently and this website seems like the last remaining jewel of the internet that still exists. I think the reason is because of you and the philosophy you use to moderate the website.

Add repetitive stress injury to that list. Professional pianist here - woodshedding is a necessity under tight deadlines but always involves repetition- and not of the easiest parts of the work being learned. Repetition and difficulty-induced tension are injury-producers.

He was calling 1995 text editors which used 4 MB of RAM incredibly bloated compared to the lean software of his youth which ran in 32 KB.

We will soon enter the next annual agriculture disaster in this region, when all the crops and trees start to bloom due to warm weather, shortly before temperatures are dropping below zero again, killing all the produce...

I can already predict the Solution:

1.) Pay additional subsidies for farmers to compensate for the loss / subsidize heating the crops/trees to bridge through the freezing temps

2.) Import goods from further away, increasing the carbon footprint of the produce and increasing overall margin for importers

3.) "Let's hope for better next year"

4.) (optional) Farmers go on strike for more funding, are played against climate protesters
I guess I forgot to repeat the part about "extremely large" there. But I mean like "all economies of scale beyond a certain point".

In any case, I'm not sure I agree that economies of scale are the thing keeping food on the table. Like, yes, we want nails to be made in some efficient way, but that's not what I mean by "economies of scale". What I'm talking about is the size of the companies involved. If there are 10 factories making nails, I'd rather have them be run by 10 different companies than one. And you might be able to convince me that 9 or 8 or even 5 companies is reasonable, but not one or two.

The process that the companies use can involve something that you might call an "economy of scale" in the sense that you need to be making X number of nails before it becomes feasible to shift from artisans to factories. But you have to make sure that the economies of scale are facilitating the making of nails rather than the making of money for the nail companies.

Thanks for this. You're definitely spot on about the huge market opportunity in the US for localized manufacturing, and healthcare is one of those spaces with a really strong moat.

Lazyvim actually has documentation, this has none, just a flash website and a gmail address.

Not so much compared to the Southern Europe, which we basically are Romans 2.0 considering most of the architecture, customs and laws.
Not to defend the netmaker article too much (its pretty crappy), but the noise of shared cloud infra is not unmanageable, it just needs to be factored in in the plan and analysis. Just repeating the tests couple of times, preferably in different regions should give pretty meaningful results. Also recognizing the scale of things, noisy neighbors are extremely unlikely to cause order of magnitude difference, especially when operating at < 1gbps scale. Lastly, just using good instance types helps a lot here too, the T types netmaker used were pretty much the worst possible option. The table in the docs provides guidance:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/general-...

Note how some types have "up to X Gigabit", some are just "X Gigabit", and for t2.micro that netmaker used the docs say just "low to moderate" :D

But all that being said, I think it is valuable to benchmark things in noisy real-world conditions too and not only in pristine lab conditions. It definitely requires bit more effort in the analysis side to understand whats going on. And benchmarking without good analysis is pretty bad regardless if it was done in public cloud or some dedicated lab.
Less sunny parts, yes. But inside?
At a Winco there was a box fan full of tools and parts parked at the end of the parking lot with a hundred or so carts in front of it. It was a repairman going through every cart, took several days as he made his way through all the carts at the store. Had never seen that before.

Show HN: Sora Videos – Generated by the Sora AI model, currently with 107
一、Website Features
The website has compiled basically all the videos currently generated by Sora (some videos are not fully displayed because they are just regenerated by changing some parameters, and there are many similar parts). Currently, there are 107+ videos, and newly generated videos will be updated in time.

1、Timely updates: New videos generated using Sora will be updated on the website in a timely manner, currently it should be the most up-to-date and comprehensive;

2、Video categorization: Videos are categorized according to the way they are generated: text-generated videos, image-generated videos, video-to-video stitching parts, and parts where there are some defects in the currently generated videos. This allows for a more convenient experience of its different capabilities;

3、Includes prompt words: Videos with prompt words also display the corresponding prompt words under the video, and you can try using the same prompt words in other video generation software;

4、Source display: The source of each video is displayed. Most of the early videos were released by the official openAI, so the source and time are the first time Sora was released; subsequent videos were released by the main creators on Twitter;

5、Display release time: Each video has a corresponding release time, sorted in reverse chronological order, so you can see the latest videos every time you come in;

Everyone is welcome to experience online: https://soravideos.media

If you have any ideas or suggestions, you are also very welcome to leave a message.
