Yeah. Elsewhere in these comments there's a link to a support thread[0] where Netlify support essentially says you shouldn't ever need an option to suspend your site at a certain point because:

#1. If you think there's any chance of getting DDoSd, you should already be on a business plan instead of a starter tier.

#2. If you think there's any chance of your site going viral, you're going to want to pay the cost anyway to let all those people visit.

I agree that's ridiculous and that the lack of any option of capping costs would mean I'd never sign up for the service. But that's the official response, for what its worth.

Beautiful notes, well done. I’ve just discovered the utility of a notebook and pen for SWE being a long-time heavy user of markdown typed notes. Your arguments in favor of loose leaf paper are quite convincing, though the finality of a notebook can be nice for brainstorming purposes.

The Red Delicious was made not for taste, but for durability: it has exceptionally long shelf life, so it's excellent for shipping to far-away places, including overseas, and it doesn't require refrigeration.

Most likely, the ancestor doesn't keep or ship that well.

There's a reason no one who actually likes apples buys Red Delicious these days; they buy one of the better varieties like Gala or Fuji or Honeycrisp or many others. Red Delicious still sell in huge quantities in the US, though, mainly to institutions like schools and hospitals. When the person selecting your meal cares more about cost than taste, you get Red Delicious.

Also, Americans throughout much of the 20th century had very poor culinary tastes. That only started changing in the 1980s, and got much better by the 2000s. So for a long time, Americans were perfectly happy to eat the nasty Red Delicious apples.

This Wikipedia article has some more detail on the history of the cultivar:

Are you trying to make Frank's Buffalo Sauce or Frank's Hot Sauce?

Because the original Buffalo Sauce used hot sauce as an ingredient. While it's not known what original hot sauce was used when it was created, the staple hot sauce for buffalo wings has been Frank's for many decades. Buffalo sauce is essentially Frank's Hot Sauce, butter and depending some garlic powder. People can add a bit more too it, but the sauce really was hot sauce, butter and some powder.

Now if you're asking how to make Frank's Hot Sauce - yah that's a whole different thing. Which I have no idea of.
I was once in charge of reconductoring numerous high voltage transmission lines in California. we used novel conductors when they were warranted.

When I read comments on Hacker News about something I'm otherwise intimately aware of, some of the comments read like those which would be written on 9gag.

My boss never stopped me from upgrading a transmission line because there are more expensive projects to do.

Another thing I see is that so many people in tech are easily bamboozled by a slick marketing presentation and think that the people in power are hiding away the cool technology.
Freenom to exit the domain name business [pdf]
LLM summary, not verified:

1. Theoretical physicists created a new phase of matter, non-Abelian topological order, using a quantum processor.

2. They demonstrated non-Abelian anyons, which are neither bosons nor fermions but have properties of both.

3. Non-Abelian anyons are important for quantum computing as they are inherently stable and can "remember" their pasts.

4. The team used 27 trapped ions in a quantum processor and manipulated the system with measurements to create the desired particles.

5. This breakthrough connects foundational quantum mechanics to new particle ideas and could lead to better quantum computing.

Classic physics examples:

* Bosons: Photons (light particles)

* Fermions: Electrons, protons, and neutrons

* Non-Abelian anyons: Hypothetical particles with properties of both bosons and fermions.

Imagine a room full of light particles (bosons) and tiny, stable balls (non-Abelian anyons) that can remember their past positions as they move around. This is similar to the new phase of matter created by the researchers.
For each individual perhaps not, but there is a right to healthcare and out of this arises the need for physicians. And I for one would like the talent of the candidates to be the deciding factor, not their or in most cases their parents’ bank accounts. I’m a physician myself with an upper middle class background but if I lived in the U.S. I most probably wouldn’t be because of how cost prohibitive med school is over there. And this leads to all kinds of downstream effects like exorbitant physician later salaries on that render healthcare unaffordable for many and are detrimental to society.

Why assume the problem is the legal system and not the doctors? Maybe their performance is the problem.

For example, last I saw, hospital error was a leading cause of death in the US. Until recently it was hard to get doctors to wash their hands between patients, or follow checklists to ensure quality. There are stories of an omerta-like rule of silence about surgical errors.
Parent didn't say "mobile was invented", said "the mobile boom" - which indeed didn't really happen until (a few years) after the iPhone arrived. The amount of money flowing into mobile software is now an order of magnitude (or more) higher than it was in 2007. I'm your average Apple hater, but without them forcibly removing carriers from the software landscape, today we'd have a much smaller mobile market.

It's like differentiating between "the Internet boom" and the invention of networking - nobody is saying the 14k modem was the invention of networking, but there was no "internet boom" before it.

That probably has something to do with the elasticity of the power lines (also that there is always some amount of slack in them), which however does not apply to a radio mast as in the article. The odds of the propeller entangling itself with the mast in just the right way to keep the airplane hooked, without destroying the mast, and staying that way until the pilot was rescued, are probably much smaller...

To put things in context, our small claim to fame is anyway getting some aggregate data about lost calls and attempts that is not possible to produce in Power BI directly[1]. So it's likely that they would buy or not buy it even if it was based on Power BI itself.

I’m French and here overwhelmingly the best engineering schools are free with heavily subsidised housing. Admission to those schools is very competitive and students once admitted work hard at it and definitely value being there.

Private engineering schools tend to be seen as schools for those who couldn’t get in public schools but have parents with enough money to pay the fees.

So I disagree with you, keep in mind that there’s a significant barrier of admission to get accepted.

>it shows how disconnected this is from their real bandwidth cost

It's a value added service, they don't trade bandwidth as a commodity. Therefore unfair characterisation.

Plus, if you dive deeper: Bandwidth doesn't cost anything because bandwidth is just about pulsing some light in some glass fiber and applying some minuscule voltage on some metal fiber.Okay, maybe it costs some amount of electricity but all this is just a business model for paying on capital expenditure through time share arrangements. People can have all kind of models for this, for example you can come together with others or pay it all by yourself to install the equipment and have free bandwidth for the lifetime of the equipment.

It's all just arrangements to cover the capital investment and earn something on top of it. That's not a scam. A scam would be if they didn't account correctly for the timeshare usage or induce usage to boost payments.

But then where would you run a small hobby project that you'd like to run in the cloud? I have some small stuff I'm running on Google Cloud Platform, and honestly I'm scared of the same thing happening to me because there's no easy way to set a limit. But AWS and Azure have the same policy.

(In my case, I'm looking for somewhere I can easily deploy a set of ~5 Docker containers, they don't need to scale up, and it's a hobby project so I'd like to keep costs as low as possible.)

> But the other side doesn't see it that way, specifically not the "something more" part. It's "just math" all the way down, in our brains as well. The "emergent phenomena" are not undefined in this sense - they're (obviously in LLMs) also math, it's just that we don't understand it yet due to the sheer complexity of the resulting system. But that's not at all unusual - humans build useful things that we don't fully understand all the time (just look at physics of various processes).

You might not, but you don't have to look far in these very comments to be met with woo and mysticism on the emergent phenomena side, either.

> The obvious explanation is that, between the limited amount of information that can be extracted from 2D photos that the NN is trained on, and the limit on the complexity of world modeling that NN of a particular size can fit, its model of the world is just not particularly accurate.

I think the more obvious solution is that it's not modelling the world, because... why would it be? It seems obvious to me that this is a significantly more complex way to handle their given task than every other explanation that does not require them create a model of the world.

> Pragmatically, at some point, you have to pick the most likely (usually this means the simplest) explanation to move forward.

I agree completely with this, which is why the idea that this is modelling the world is absolutely bizarre to me, particularly when our understanding of their training is that it's all weighting for pixel nearest neighbors via ranking how well it does at denoising 2D images.

It's not like de-rendering is something new, either. ShaderMap has existed since the mid 2000s and could get similar results from 2D images without any AI/ML, and we have other models that can generate it without anyone suggesting they model the world, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.02279

People like LeCun don't think that even models where the stated goal is world simulation are able to do it, e.g. sora, either - https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1758740106955952191 - so it seems even more unlikely when that isn't the goal that this has happened due to some emergent phenomenon.

What about Romania? That's a Romance language, which presumably means it's derived from Latin. I have no idea how it ended up that far east, but it being a Latin-speaking part of the Eastern Roman Empire sounds plausible to me.

When the amount hits the targeted value, Vercel will call the webhook that pauses the project.

Sorry, but the "creator economy" is a mostly-malicious delusion. Sure, it can sound great. And for a very lucky few it probably is great.

I hate Tableau with a passion. The main bugbear is that viewers can't see the SQL code the dashboards execute. I am no fan of Looker, but the "Explore here" allows other users to see the SQL and tweak it if needed. Most intermediate data stakeholders are confident enough to modify the where clause to suit their custom needs, allowing them to self-serve.

The licensing costs are prohibitive, too. It is almost unaffordable to share Tableau dashboards with your customers and, instead, have to send them static PDFs of your dashboard.

Beyond that, the Tableau infrastructure feels like something from the last century. Data is cached on the server using data extracts rather than following a more modern caching infrastructure.
After doing some math it doesn't feel like a ddos:

- $104k at ($55 / 100 GB) = 189 TB of traffic

- It means the popular ~3.5 MB media file was downloaded ~54M times

- Which sound like a lot, but if you get popular in a country with 1.4B people, it's not (~3% accessed).

What if it happens at AWS Cloudfront? At $.1/GB it sums up to ~$18k. In the light of these, Netlify's offer of ~$5k seems generous.
