tl;dr; - The US has government-owned (but contractor-operated) munitions plants, and boosting production is an actual (vs. lip-service) priority. The EU has a bunch of purely-private producers, all hog-tied with regulatory and financial constraints.

Cynical suggestion: An annual EU-wide "which country can boost production the most?" contest. Leading politicians from the losing countries are rewarded with six months in the front lines in Ukraine.
>You understand Apple spent like billions for this electric car industry that never produced anything? Why would they want to starve the AI project now?

Interest rates? I'm sure self driving cars will also shift society one day. But money isn't free anymore And in the case of R&D they can't amortize the costs of devs either. it shows how many companies really care about "changing the world".

> The point is that SO is missing out here.

Unfortunately, if comments were open to all initially the site would quickly fill with “me too” comments and other things that would fill the page with low quality content that would be effort to moderate. This already happens to an extent with answers.

My point being that the potential gain from automatically open comments may be less than the potential hassle from less useful users. Balancing these matters is difficult, many places get it even more wrong than SO and related sites do, and there is probably no perfect answer that doesn't put off some useful contributions.

Should science fiction be burdened with citations? Convincing someone doesn't have to be the goal of all prose and poetry. Some writing can exist just to evoke a feeling or offer ideas to ponder.
I love not having to think or talk about work when I go outside.

If some one asks what I do they'll say "that's neat, must be nice to work from home!" and that's the end of the conversation, we can talk about hobbies or something else instead.
That equals permission, at least (I'm sure) to them.
So they've removed the cache for all general public now? I was told recently, last couple months, they (the person) were accessing google's cache results.

[strike]I'm unsure how old that twitter comment is, I don't twitter, or social media in general. [/strike] [Edit. OK went for a quick hunt, end of January - start of this month it was reported the cache links were removed, though the cache still exists ... if Google decided to keep a cache of the result.]
They often get most of that with a garage. No sewage is needed, though runoff from parking should really be treated before being dumped into waterways.
The article goes into that.

The model provided by -the manufacturer- correction NAVAIR (thanks OP!), stated that the cable will bounce up after having been hit by the landing gear. Thus the hook design made sense. The cable jumps up and over the hook. Plane arrested.

Instead, again as the article states, the cable is actually being pressed tightly against the flight deck and the elevated hook nose makes the entire hook get thrown up in the air when drawn over the tight cable, back towards the plane and would even destroy some parts of the monitoring mechanisms, so violently did that happen.

They also provide the new design, which is basically the old design and that is also why the techs that saw the new hook for the very first time (and know about the cable I presume) instantly said "That ain't gonna work!".

It's all in there.
It's much closer to trying to be so loud they're drowned out than that weird analogy.

I'd say even "malfunction" is a stretch. DDoS isn't hacking.
Monopoly is literally the point of copyright. That's its explicit purpose.

I can't imagine any of the factions in The Expanse upholding the ban on AI while researching in secret an actually alien substance.
While you're not wrong, I believe that the effort was made with the intent of supporting everything in-house instead of relying on the community. The UI(KDE) of the Linux Caixa Mágica (Magic Box) was worked on to be user friendly and translated in portuguese as back then everything was still a bit rough around the edges, it was also pretty well documented for parents.
I think my first linux was that one, and I learned a lot with it.
Unfortunately I can't say the experience was universal, as the lack of teacher training(the education system evolves very slowly) and lack of resources that involved it lead to a complete flop in the classroom environments.
The Internet is shit now, swarmed by bots (even ones some people argue are sentient). Useful sites are less possible than before.

You are too late.
Why go through that effort when they could just lie about site usage and say you incurred a bunch of traffic? Or make fake site "hits" from localhost?

It's really the trade-off for using any cloud host. You are implicitly trusting the host, their monitoring tools, their billing system, and their customer support when things go wrong
You realise that lobbying is literally sitting down for a cup of coffee with "a friend", right?

>Do you really think people are going to pay an extra $30,000 for a car because it works with the iPhone?

Given that 30k is the difference between an entry level and mid level car, sure. The premium brands would definitely want to get Apple's branding under their wing, and those buyers are already used to paying a premium when they can buy a $30k car.
Mocks are a contentious topic as you've probably guessed. In my opinion they're a sign of coupled code, you should be able to hit very high coverage without a single mock, but if you're a dev in an org that tracks code coverage you'll probably end up writing a fair number of them since the odds are high you'll be consuming coupled code.

Most children who start to learn instruments at some point just stop doing it. Kids who actually turn into concert pianists undergo rigorous training that is effectively a full time job. How many adults at age 25 have even attempted that? Just in financial terms, how many adults have spent the resources on themselves that the parents of highly competitive kids do?

Most adults who pick up skills just don't do it in a deliberate way. When I moved to Japan for work I thought as an adult it'd take me years to acquire a new language. But the company I worked for got me professional training and I hunkered down about 2 hours per day and in ~14 months I did much better than I thought was possible.
When the game isn't be sold any more, along with the console, emulation makes sense.

But the switch emulation for at least 2 years now has been more than good enough to run games of a current gen system, and you're absolutely kidding yourself if you think any meaningful percentage own the game.

The emulator also requires Nintendo data they're not actually allowed to ship (there's a number of resources to download it though), but they specifically coded to support it.

Imo switch 2 is coming and it'll likely be almost the same system just beefier, so going after the emulators makes sense for them.
AFAIK Psystar lost because they bundled macOS with their product.
Fine article, though I wish it had been longer. Some of the strongest treatments of the issue come up in serial form eg Hunter x Hunter which starts out as a light-feeling kids' adventure quest and over several seasons transforms into moral horrors.
Hey, can I ask what makes it FIRE-y? Like do you do income validation? Or is more a matter of your profile questions (as seen on https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V_10Y8OtQt7b73-GwVoq_edrjsW...)?

Always loved this film. I made a zoomable timeline that scales to all of time, that was partly inspired by it:

https://www.timepasses.net/
So, this is just my own view, but here's how I see it:

Structured logs are ... well, logs that are structured (probably json) and machines read 'em to offer nice analysis capabilities. We've largely as an industry decided that these are great, and we should use them instead of unstructured logs if we can.

But just because a log is structured it doesn't mean it has what you need to effectively debug an issue! You usually need app-specific data added as key-value pairs to that log so that you can correlate stuff like "stuff is slow on this endpoint" with "and these are the device versions and user_agent strings that correlate the most with that".

And a lot of developers are used to dumping some of that data into random logs, but without making that data a part of a "wider" structured log, it can be really hard to correlate the behavior you don't like with other data that aids with debugging.

Hence, a desire to call them "wide events".

Anyways, I'm not particularly sold on that term either. But I do think there's some need to describe not only structured logs, but structured logs that contain all the rich info you need to debug most stuff in production with general ease.
Let's refactor it then:

The government simply takes ownership of UHC and they get a new charter to run it like the Postal Service.
I've seen some really nice UI query systems that have plenty of expressive power for 99.9% of queries but also include an escape hatch to allow you to use a query language. Mixpanel has one that I really like and I've seen non-techy business types go to town on it no problem.

The other option I've seen is a guided query language with helpful UI affordances as you type. I've seen it on Datadog as well as Jira's advanced search.

Show HN: I made an app to use local AI as daily driver
Hi Hackers,

Excited to share a macOS app I've been working on: https://recurse.chat/ for chatting with local AI. While it's amazing that you can run AI models locally quite easily these days (through llama.cpp / llamafile / ollama / llm CLI etc.), I missed feature complete chat interfaces. Tools like LMStudio are super powerful, but there's a learning curve to it. I'd like to hit a middleground of simplicity and customizability for advanced users.

Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps:

- UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver. Zero config setup, supports multi-modal chat, chat with multiple models in the same session, link your own gguf file.

- Import ChatGPT history. This is probably my favorite feature. Import your hundreds of messages, search them and even continuing previous chats using local AI offline.

- Full text search. Search for hundreds of messages and see results instantly.

- Private and capable of working completely offline.

Thanks to the amazing work of @ggerganov on llama.cpp which made this possible. If there is anything that you wish to exist in an ideal local AI app, I'd love to hear about it.
Apples strategy is to wait and see they are rarely first to put money into something where they can't learn from mistakes of others. iPhone wasn't the first mass produced smartphone and I'd argue Apple is a software company first and foremost, the hardware part is just the means to lock you in.
That's silly. Desktop Office is a '90s product and O365 is there smart rebuild for the 2010s and beyond, fully embracing the web and SAAS and finally shedding cardboard boxes with CDs inside.

Car engineers working on computer vision and sensors or autonomous driving should be able to slide into Apple hardware and software spaces without too much effort if they're wedded to Apple or Apple makes it lucrative for them to park there while they figure out how to better utilize the talent.

It's almost like you've never been involved in any of this kind of thing but nevertheless needed to participate and be heard. I appreciate that. it happens. But your reply was actually mindless.
At this point I’m open to new and exciting problems, whatever they may be.

Hell, I’d be ok with leeches making a comeback if it meant I didn’t have to pay a copay on top of a premium.
Between COVID and the millennial cohort in SF, that's not going to be true very much longer, if it is at all today.

It was because they were breaking the law, got found guilty, and settled with the DOJ agreeing to that decade of dealing with regulators enforcing a Microsoft authored consent decree.

And thank god their hands were tied for decade so others could come up and we weren't all stuck with MS for another decade or longer.

Can we do that to Google and Apple now?
> Mathematica user since 1988: i think it, in retrospect, might be great that it’s proprietary, in that it dampens its likelihood of trend-driven over commitment and resulting irrelevance.

I think that's not really true. It's not that Mathematica isn't trend-driven, just that it's responsive to trends more or less to the extent that Wolfram (company or person) is, rather than to the extent that the entire developer community is. Depending on how you use it, you may or may not like its embrace of new trends; while I've occasionally been glad it can do $CoolThing, I have also wondered sometimes why my Mathematica install needed to grow from, at some point in the single-digit versions where it was perfectly useful, a few hundred megabytes to now nearly 9 GB.
I was intrigued to see that they have PyPI packages for a ton of different things - like https://pypi.org/project/testcontainers-postgres

That wheel file is only 2.9KB, so I grabbed a copy to see how it works. I've put the contents in a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/c53f80a525d573533a730f5f28858...

It's pretty neat - it depends on testcontainers-core, sqlalchemy and psycopg2-binary and then defines a PostgresContainer class which fires up a "postgres:latest" container and provides a helper function for getting the right connection URL.
To me, it looks edgy for edginess' sake. In comparison, the Canoo vehicles look like they were actually designed with purpose.

Columnar storage stores data very efficiently, too - because it compresses data of a similar nature (columns).
Check e.g. ClickHouse on this matter: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/about-us/distinctive-features, https://clickhouse.com/blog/working-with-time-series-data-an...

So I wouldn't say that events are "expensive" while metrics are "cheap" - both depend on the actual implementation, and events can be cheap too.

And so of course if you have to optimise things, you would need to drop some information you pass to the events, but you would need to do the same for metrics (reduce the number of metrics emitted, reduce the prometheus labels,...).
You can actually load MS-DOS and PC-DOS high on an XT, if you have a memory card that populates UMBs, but you need DOSMAX and a utility like USE!UMBS. It doesn't seem to work with FreeDOS though. I've been able to get like 605k conventional RAM with PC-DOS 2000 and still have big partitions.

Practically speaking, even a 60Mb partition is slow to rattle though.
Testcontainers don't typically add more than a few seconds to a suite though. They are very fast.
Love ClickHouse and Kafka? Let Timeplus Proton take it to the next level.

Proton is an open-source streaming processor, written in C++. We’re thrilled to introduce a major upgrade of Proton, which you can now read or write ClickHouse with streaming SQL. You can use Proton as a lightweight streaming processor to get live data from Kafka/Redpanda, apply simple or complex processing logic, then send data to your ClickHouse, no matter in local or in the cloud. You can also JOIN Kafka data with dimensional data in ClickHouse, without moving them to Proton.

I wrote this tutorial to share how to get started using Proton and ClickHouse together. Demo video included. Happy to discuss here.

For point (2), you can derive accurate counts from sampled data if the sampling rate is captured as metadata on every sampled event. Some tools do support this (I work for Honeycomb, and our sampling proxy + backend work like this, can't speak for others).

The issue is there are still limits to that, though. I can still get a count of events, or a AVG(duration_ms). But if I have a custom tag I can't get accurate counts of that. And if I want to get distinct counts of values, I'm out of luck. Estimating that is an active machine learning research problem.
When gas prices rise, all gas stations immediately raise their prices as well, and then they slowly lower prices pennies at a time while competition slow incentivizes them to do so. Their customers are often more interested in convenience than in pinching the maximum amount of pennies which is what keeps customer choice and market forces from immediately driving all gas stations to the lowest possible price.

It's the same with groceries. The company gets an excuse, immediately raise grocery prices, and then slowly, oh so slowly, lowers prices, but only if the market demands it, only if people are willing to drive across town to another grocery store.

We'll either need regulation, or we'll need a way for customers to utilize the same ruthless optimization algorithms. Perhaps as online shopping continues to grow it will become more common to tell an algorithm (or an AI!) that you're getting low on canned beans and the algorithm will ruthlessly monitor prices and find the best deal within a given time frame.

Stores may not want it to be easy for customers to optimize this way, and they might make it difficult for algorithms to buy and sell on behalf of the customer. One would hope that competition would reward a company that makes it easy for customers, but competition between companies is half-assed these days and there is very little ability for new companies to enter the market and stir things up.
It depends on the metric. Some metrics represent discrete events, such as "number of HTTP requests received". It is absolutely possible to record that metrics at every point in time, without sampling.

(There are metrics that are continuous, such as CPU usage. Those, yes, you're always sampling.)
> This works well for a while. But eventually you get big, and have little to no idea of what is in your downstream. Then every single format change in any event you write must be treated like open heart surgery, because tracing your data dependencies is unreliable.

Yeah, I'd always use protobuf or similar rather than JSON for that reason, and if you need a truly breaking change I'd emit a new version of the events to a new topic rather than trying to migrate the existing one in place. It's not actually so costly to keep writing events to an old topic (and if you really want you can move that part into a separate adapter process that reads your new topic and writes to your old one). Or you can do the whole avro/schema-registry stuff if you prefer.

> Making data available to other people is not any less scary in kafka than it was back in the days where applications shared a giant database

It should be significantly less scary: it's impossible to mutate data in-place, foreign key issues are something you go back and fix and reprocess rather than something that takes down your OLTP system, schema changes are better-understood and less big-bang, event streams that are generated by transforming another event stream are completely indistinguishable from "original" event streams as opposed to views being sort-of-like-tables but having all sorts of caveats and gotchas.

> As for kafka being easy, It's not quite as hard as some people say, but it's both a pub sub system and a distributed database. When your clusters get large, it definitely isn't easy.

There are hard parts but also parts that are easier than a traditional database. There's no query planner, no MVCC, no locks, no deadlocks, no isolation levels, indices are not magic, ...
