The Never-Ending Storyteller
Charitable interpretation of previous comment would be “I think it does not seem relevant to problems specified in the article”.

Iso 8601 is about date formatting, while article is about a bit orthogonal to that. (But I agree/hope that ISO 8601 is the future that is less ambiguous than current state)
The author provides this example to illustrate inconsistent handling of non-existent datetimes:

# This time doesn't exist on this date
d = datetime(2023, 3, 26, 2, 30, tzinfo=paris)

# No timestamp exists, so it just makes one up
t = d.timestamp()
datetime.fromtimestamp(t) == d # False

Criticisms:

1) The example would fail just as well for any datetime with given tzinfo. Because fromtimestamp returns native datetimes.

2) The timestamp isn't just "made up". Its behaviour is clearly documented in PEP 495, as linked by the author [0]. In this case it consistently corresponds to datetime(2023, 3, 26, 3, 30, tzinfo=paris).

[0] https://peps.python.org/pep-0495/

Finally if we disallow creating non-existent datetimes in the proposed library, how do we represent the 2am in "clock changes forwards at 2am"? Use 3am? There are tradeoffs.

Ah, thank you. There is also the "dead mans switch" monitoring option, which is probably in use at some very understaffed stations.

So this licensee's best claim is that they had some kind of major equipment failure, their dead mans switch worked and took them off-air, and someone jumped on the opportunity to take down a non-energized radiator tower and steal their equipment.

It is still unbelievable of course! The best time to find someone at a remote transmitter site is when the tower has recently gone dark. And it does not address the gap between failure and awareness/reporting.

Thanks also for the cite to the notification requirement timelines.

That's only true when you can ignore building codes on things like loft stairs and other space-stealers. ADUs in my city must be permanent structures that meet all codes and be fully inspected throughout the build. Anything under 500 sq ft / 46 sq m under north american building codes is a tough scene for livability.

There is a related conversation that our building codes have gone too far and are driving up costs due to the space and materials required to comply, and yet I also like bathrooms with grab handles and wide doorways for accessibility. Tricky problem (though we need to kill the 2 stair rule for low and mid-rise apartments asap. There are tons of modern ways to prevent and suppress fires that don't require anywhere near the expense or form-constricting compliance).

I think most of the replies, here and on stack exchange, are answering slightly the wrong question.

It is fair to ask why the likelihoods are useful if they are so small, and it's not a good answer to talk about how they could be expressed as logs, or even to talk about the properties of continuous distributions.

I think the answer is:

Yes, individual likelihoods are so small, that yes even a MLE solution is extremely unlikely to be correct.

However, the idea is that often a lot of the probability mass - an amount that is not small - will be concentrated around the maximum likelihood estimate, and so that's why it makes a good estimate, and worth using.

Much like how the average is unlikely to be the exact value of a new sample from the distribution, but it's a good way of describing what to expect. (And gets better if you augment it with some measure of dispersion, and so on). (If the distribution is very dispersed, then while the average is less useful as an idea of what to expect, it still minimises prediction error in some loss; but that's a different thing and I think less relevant here).

NFSv4 is stateful, and while it's true that the server has to support stateless reads for bad clients, most clients are ok with keeping the state ids that are returned after an open. Whether you have to step through the object byte-by-byte isn't inherent to the protocol, it depends on how you've stored the data.
Did you read the part that said, "The case was remanded back to the D.C. District Court for further proceedings on this matter, with Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly presiding." That's not a win. The case was ongoing, and likely would have gone to the Supreme Court eventually, though the court was too cowardly to take the case immediately.

There was a settlement with the DoJ. You don't settle when you win and the other side loses.
Not the person you’re replying to, but things like the Intel Management Engine and the AMD equivalent are very powerful software on pretty much any laptop, that people consider close to back doors.

However if you aren’t dealing with state secrets, any average computer is likely good enough. Just steer clear of unheard brands that sometimes have shady installers (there was a recent incident but it was an unheard brand name).

From (1) I guess most of the binsize comes from stdlib that the kernel does not use, so I guess that's two different problems.

(1) https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust
> 1. Maximize the code context where date/time is represented as a simple count of Unix epoch seconds.

Either your values will be different from UNIX timestamp (and you need to write your own conversion functions), or they are not simple count of seconds and will have ambiguities. Neither is not great situation.
Most size issues come from not using release builds, using too many dependencies, or overuse of generics. The rust std lib being linked in statically also contributes.The kernel shouldn't suffer from any of these problems. Plenty of embedded use is able to use rust in highly constrained environments without size issues compared to C.
> # The local system timezone
> LocalDateTime,

Here’s my feedback: one should essentially never use “local” time. I would even argue that the existence of systemwide local time is a historical mistake.

Why would you ever want to use the “local” timezone of the system on which you are running? If the user is literally sitting in front of a monitor plugged in to the machine, it might be appropriate (but it should be a per-user setting). But if the user is using X forwarding or ssh or a remote desktop, you have no idea what timezone the user is in. (And this was common in the mainframe era!) If you’re servicing a request over the network, you don’t want local time.

The only sort of legitimate use for “local” time I can think of is compatibility with libc and it’s horrible time API.

You can’t even tell what local time means without getenv, which is a footgun.

So maybe LocalDateTime should be called LibcCompatLocalDateTime.
accusations by Trump of getting the election stolen from him.

Personally, I think there were shenanigans going on and we should be investigating them but I also feel like the hanging chads was a far bigger issue than the shenanigans that happened in 2020.

I don't believe the election was stolen but I also don't believe it's everyone's imagination that some shady shit was going on in places. I suspect that kind of crap happens every election.
I don't have a problem with very small probabilities as long as they stay within math and kind of "cancel out".

What I do have a problem with is lack of conceptual framework for dealing with small probabilities of real life events.

For example, what amount of effort is appropriate to prevent a one time event which kills you with say 1 in ten thousand times?

See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_plutonium

The main reason people believe a nuclear waste dump needs to last a stupendously long time is because of the long lifetime of Plutonium 239 and some related actinides.

Reactors with a fast neutron spectrum could consume those actinides, the remaining waste becomes less radioactive than the original uranium in 1000 years which is within the time that we've had buildings last, social structures last, etc. In that scenario you have little fear that carefully buried waste incorporated in glass will leach out.

If you are looking 100,000 years down the road like you are with Yucca Mountain it is likely the facility has long been flooded and soluble Uranium will migrate in the direction of Death Valley whereas the Plutonium will not migrate because it is insoluble in water. I think it is sublime that the Pu239 decay chain goes through U235 which retains the nuclear fuel value.

In the "once-through" fuel cycle almost all of the waste buried is unburned U and Pu fuel, the fast reactor cycle could consume all of that starting with the waste that is cooling out now.

Google has had a very visible tool internally for this for years. It lists every single person that leaves on a given day. It even has a system set up where the person leaving can email it, and the note would be attached to their leaving notice. You can also search the system and see anybody that's left at any point. So I could look for people that left 15 years ago.

The layoffs the last 2 years have been interesting in that the people aren't officially gone when they are laid off, as Google continues to pay them for 60 or 90 days. So a bunch of people who appear on this list all at once 60 days after they let go.

Ask HN: How to determine company's long term dependability? (Ello, Astral)
Hey HN!

In July 2023, Ello shut down its services, with no warning. The service initially pitched impressive features such as "never selling user data to advertisers or third parties, never showing advertisements". After the dust settled many realized that Ello took significant funds from venture capitals and that's how it was able to support itself while having little to no income from users. The line of thinking goes that the venture capital investment could have harmed the social network if not outright forced its demise from the start. [1] Anecdotally, to me it seems to be a common sentiment on HN that venture capital = bad news for users.

I really like uv [2], an "extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust." It seems to be something Python's ecosystem really needs. I really love the mission of Astral and what they do, as I concretely believe that Python's tools should not be written in Python, to avoid depending on themselves during runtime.

But then I checked out "Company" section of Astral and they are venture capital backed [3]. That's a red flag, as far as I am concerned. They have collected 4M$ in funding from various venture capitals [4]. They allegedly want to provide (are providing?) B2B solutions, which is expected for a company in this business. But the venture capital will want to cash out at some point and I am unsure that Astral can survive that, without e.g. adding "premium" features or outright selling the business to a competitor, which would most certainly mean at least disruptions for uv. Considering that, in production, uv would be a central tool nearly impossible to replace, I am concerned about that.

What do you think?

EDIT: Note that the Astral - Ello link is purely chronological, these two don't have remotely similar business model, I just wanted to start with something recent.
