Amazon will, but they also gauge their discount in how many prevention and security measures from their 5 Pillars you follow in your environment.

You can do stuff like "disallow any of these instances to be used in your env", so if you never use graphics cards, disallow the whole class.

You can also set limits like "no more than 20x m5.4xlarge".

But again, AWS is the worst about no actual hard limits, cause each system generates bills. Ive also seen the hell of "hidden system AWS Billing doesnt have is still submitting billing and we dont know what it is". Again, AWS enables basically infinite liability.

Ive also discussed with C levels that "every engineer and dev with AWS logins have an unlimited credit card to of which you're on the hook for". Lets just say that 'heartburn' doesnt even begin to describe the terror on their faces.
The Jungle Book is set in India, so you would expect it to be a papaya but that doesn't really make sense either. This page talks about it: http://expatpawpaw.blogspot.com/2016/02/that-song-about-pawp...

Honestly I'm kinda shocked that an article all about explaining what a pawpaw is didn't lead with the fact that the same word can refer to two completely different fruits.
the apocalypses has just started and everyone was still living in their apartments. things are normal until they're not...

and then like 5 years later it's raiders in football pads and spikes, lol.
The problem for Amazon as well is as their QC and race to the bottom progressed, it becomes harder to justify using them. Unlike the vendors they undercut, they can't play the sympathy/"support local"/"support your favourite producer" card. So I know many people who are splitting their buying habits between niche-specific retailers for the few types of products they really care about actually getting quality out of, and Aliexpress for the rest.
Excellent work. This is a perfect demonstration of how valuable content curation can be, paired with an excellent presentation and user experience. You made it much easier to discover interesting people in the corners of the Internet, and I am grateful for that.
Awesome read! I worked on IFLOLS as a new grad software engineer during this time.

Since leaving the government to work at various software startups, I miss real world engineering like this.
How the Boeing 737 MAX Disaster Looks to a Software Developer
Then why did you write this comment on HN (an example of social media)?
To be nitpicky: I wasn't irked by the article's title, but by the framing in the lede.

To be constructively nitpicky: a box used as a wing is absolutely an "airfoil" inasmuch as the term has any meaning. It's not the shape being "special" that makes a wing work, it's the shape that the airflow around it takes, which is to first approximation just a function of its "tilt" along its major axis relative to the flow direction. The business about shape is all just optimization, not what you want to describe if you want to know how an airplane flies.
The parking spaces are still there because the city's 'density' or 'daytime population' was pumped by ecologically unsustainable commutes.

The US has never had a high level civic planning process or ability. Housing ends up built where-ever, and it's often cheapest to go built it in places with less regulation. Like wild frontiers in not even states. Or in areas outside of city limits as a tax dodge. There also aren't formal processes for renewing areas; instead informally they're allowed to decay and crime rise, and eventually reach a point where it becomes 'economically viable' for building something new.

Those lots exist because there's still enough whatever is desired in the city you live in, probably too much retail and office space. Probably not enough apartment / condo / housing space, but none of those investors want to admit their market was over-valued and de-value the present investments so they'll happily keep supply low and rents high.
Or some genes being promoted because of increased fitness.

Of course it moves its wings. That's what the runway is for.
realpage for fast food is probably coming and the execs probably don't even understand the legal implications of that.

The fact that the realpage domain name even resolves right now suggests to me that collusion won.

Maps is still good. GMail still works. Most of their big products aren't awful. It's funny that Search seems to be going down faster than the others, given that this one actually makes most of their money. I'd have thought they would put the best people on it and been very conservative about changing it.
someone got tweak we can use for puppeteer to achieve this effect?
[kinda LOL @ asking people who SCRAPE DATA for free to pay for an API, no?]
On the one hand I want to agree with this, but on the other hand, it seems like a short-sighted view. Imagine if earlier people had told themselves "computers aren't for making music", "computers aren't for connecting with friends", "computers aren't for watching movies", etc. Computers can be whatever we want them to be for, we just need to figure out how.
I can't help but feel a little conflicted about things like this in the current climate. On one hand, as a developer trying to just get some updated stuff into a spreadsheet, this looks extremely useful.

On the other hand, there are a lot of people right now that want to keep stuff accessible to humans and not have it scraped for models. I know the lid's completely off the box on that front so it's probably useless to fight it, but seeing products explicitly designed to circumvent bot prevention feels kinda bad.

Well in the case of Bluetooth, both Mozilla and Apple said they wouldn’t support the API for privacy reasons.

https://caniuse.com/web-bluetooth

And even with Chrome, much of the support is behind flags.

As far as universal platform - if you’re that old, you should know how much “universal platforms” for GUI apps have sucked since Java Swing.

You should also know how every mobile platform has said at one point that you can “build great apps with web technologies” - Rim, Palm, Microsoft, Android and even Apple - and they have all failed and sucked.
My possibly Luddite opinion is that using the most amazing and surprising new C++ features is not the best way to build code consumed by others. It’s good for internal APIs if you have a library team and active quality control, but if you involve third party users, more conservative is often better for everyone.

For a lot of use cases, a plain C API wrapper is still very useful because it’s so easy to call from practically any other language. It can be better for maintenance to have a very narrow C API than to expose all the bells and whistles from C++ wonderland.
Forums improve through ignoring hyperbolic language, not responding to it.
These sudden changes do indeed happen in stormy weather, as adjacent layers of air can move with different velocities relative to the ground (the technical term is “wind shear”). If an airplane climbs or descends through those it will look like your speed (relative to air) is suddenly increased or decreased by some amount and you would have to compensate. It’s also a bigger problem for large, heavy airplanes as you have more work to do to accelerate for a given amount of speed loss.

Jet stream boundary is usually not this sharp, and the airplane would fly much faster than the difference anyway.
This is AMAZING feedback and it is on brand with what I've heard from a number of builders. Thanks for sharing your experiences here.

The infra challenges are real - it has been what I have been struggling the most with in providing high quality support for early users. Most want to be able to reliably firehose 10-100s of GBs of data through a brittle multistep pipeline. This was something I struggled with when building AgentSearch [https://huggingface.co/datasets/SciPhi/AgentSearch-V1] with LOCAL data - so introducing the networking component only makes things that much harder.

I think we have a lot of work to do to robustly solve this problem, but I'm confident that there is an opportunity to build a framework that results in net positives for the developer.

FWIW, Your feedback would be invaluable as the project continues to grow.
The almighty Cia that can't even win anywhere ever. That agency putting it all on tech and constantly loosing it's recruits due to mass discovery by third world countries. Get out of here with those horrorstories grandpa..
Effectively none of the incident energy is used for photosynthesis.

Much bigger effects are reflecting energy well above things that can store heat, and acting as evaporative coolers.
Meanwhile, if you're building something smaller than Netflix, I'm writing a book just about that (https://opinionatedlaunch.com/).

It's about mobile apps, but I talk about backend at great length, especially since my background is Java. The book is called "opinionated" because I cover Quarkus (https://quarkus.io/), monolith, Fly.io, and no K8s. No fancy stuff to pad your CV, just to get things done the simplest way possible, with the least headache in maintenance (I'm lazy).
> The rest of my family has no interest in learning this stuff

What about going on strike for a day or two? Not in a petulant way, but in a loving way. Just to impress upon your family exactly how important things are, that they're currently taking for granted. Maybe you'd get a volunteer to do some modest training and succession planning.
They'll only learn their lesson if we keep applying pressure so that the European Commission takes this seriously and enforces their right to fine up to 10% of global revenues ($30bn) if Apple doesn't get in line

A first look at the changes coming to Edge's tab actions menu
It's one in a million, billion, people that have "a network of rich colleagues and friends" ready to throw money down on a fringe style of business development. So, it's a nice thought, but wildly unlikely. Hence the entire one comment here that says it all.
I don't mind them existing but I do think typed languages are generally better. Also I'm personally not interested in raw speed, I care about having the programming language letting me know if statements in my code make no sense before running them.

Just a personal opinion though, I'm always glad when people create something new and useful to them.
Probably the biggest barrier to a new creating a new commercial airline manufacturer is that there just aren't that many new planes sold each year. There aren't that many customers for commercial airplanes, and existing airplanes can last for decades when properly maintained.

Combine all that with the inherently high costs of running a commercial airline manufacturer, and there just isn't enough demand to support more companies in the space. Changing that would require huge technical breakthroughs, or fundamental changes to how passenger air travel works. Neither of those seem to be likely in the near future.
All that’s happening… make it seem trivial and of little consequence.

I may be part of that idiot group then

Edit: spelling
Well, I got sucked down the same Geometric Algebra rabbit hole, plus another "remarkably concise and intuitive way" one too, which is Clojure.

So I wrote a library that can generate any GA and do all kind of fun operations (which could be used in particular as a basis for a physics engine). Just in case any of this is of your interest too: https://cljdoc.org/d/net.clojars.jordibc/geometric-algebra/
Your comment makes it look as if you're saying you hate the Go development team, but it seems that isn't the case.

I get a little of what you're saying, I wouldn't say I hate anyone, but I strongly dislike how a lot of projects are organized. I think a lot stems from https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout , which pretended to be standard and was so (ab)used one of the creators opened an issue about it. If you look at the actual Go src, it's much, much cleaner.
Boeing review finds 'disconnect' on safety
I think a lot of people don't understand how cheap bandwidth is and is decreasing in cost practically every day. Amazon and Google have a lot of people fooled. Go ask someone operating in China and East Asia (and Japan) how much they're paying for local solutions.

> It really shows that asking a computer for something is fundamentally a bad idea

No, that is not what it shows at all. Everything you do on a computer is "asking a computer for something." Do you think computers are computing things that no one asked for?
You mean making the software proprietary. The definition of open source itself is neutral on whether it's a commercial effort or not, or whether it's a community effort or not, or whether it's both community and a commercial effort.
Spiritual Successor to the Google Nexus 7
I think the culture shifted out from under Google and expectations around DEI have changed -- Google's culture is stuck in 2020.
Mistakes are the problem, as they will always happen.

The point is to build a culture where you value teamwork and adjust and learn from failures.

This isn't an individual team problem, this is an organization problem.

It is impossible to hire infallible, all knowing employees.

But it is quite possible to enable communication and to learn from pas mistakes.

When you silence employees due to a fear of retribution bad things happen.

People need to feel safe with calling out the systemic problems that led to a failure. If that ends up being the wrong mixture of skills on a team or bad communication within a team that is different.

Everything in this report was a mistake, and not due to gross incompetence from a single person.

The E door bolts as an example was directly attributed to metrics that punished people if they didn't bypass review. The delivery timelines and defect rates were what management placed value on over quality and safety.

Consider the prisoner delema, which is resolved by communication, not choosing a better partner.
Late Capitalism as Told Through Panera Bread
I know C, python, Go and Rust reasonably well and Go is usually my default choice for a new projects.

Well unless it's just a quick script, in which case Python will do just fine.

Tried Scala while learning Chisel and hate it from the bottom of my heart. It's like Kotlin on bad drugs.

My point is, people are different.
Warner Bros. Discovery halts merger talks with Paramount Global, sources say
I don’t think you could do anything with just that knowledge.

A proof of the existence of algorithm for solving NP problems in polynomial time would be better. It gets you a Ph. D., a million dollars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems) and possibly tenure.

An actual algorithm for solving NP problems in polynomial time would do a bit more, IF its constants would be decent.
maybe. or maybe you turn them over to the authorities because the 2nd time their lazy and reckless disregard killed several people.
Lack of support for operator overloading is a bit sad. As a result, Go can't get used in numerical applications, unless you like writing `matrix_plus(A, B)` instead of `A + B`.

Is there a programming language that has a "simple" design like Go but which supports some operator overloading?
the only time we've found pgvector to be preferable to qdrant is when the per-category embeddings are very few. E.g. in cases where filtering is expected to reduce the dataset greatly for each query (>99.9%).

This is when the relational nature of postgres really shines - you can even do in-mem calculations for distance.
> Performance is good enough, it's not the intellectual masturbation of Scala or Rust.

As we know, any technology that would require experienced programmers to learn something is a crime against engineering.
All of this was done as a work up to a carrier deployment. In software terms, trying the arrestments on land is deploying to test, doing them on a carrier is production. There were three separate developmental test deployments to carriers for the F-35C. Each deployment sought to expand the understood envelope and and handling procedures. The hook redesign happened before the first deployment. The hard landing story in the post happened during the work up to the third and final deployment.
The difference is the companies billing you will attempt to contact you - hopefully including something that will get to your heirs (snail mail is good for this!). They will also help you understand what the service is for and if you need it.

BTW, if you work for a hosting company, do your processes actually to the above for a non-technical, grieving heir?
I love blazer. At our scaleup “making a blazer” has become a phrase among the non technical colleagues.

I’ve created a feature where you can share CSVs from a clip and import the data into Google sheets. There is a PR for this on the repo.

I’ve also created cron job monitoring with it. You can read up about that here: https://abuisman.com/posts/developer-tools/cron-monitoring-w...

Andrew Kane’s gems are a gold mine. Ahoy is another great one and he also created pgvector. Humbling amount of work.
Google needs to stop allowing themselves to be bullied by brainrotted culture warriors on both sides. Someone screams at them for not being woke enough and they panic and overcompensate. Someone else screams at them for being too woke and again they start running around like headless chickens trying onto appease the last person that yelled at them. None of this matters at all in the real world.
Its kind of like when I predicted what would happen when $20/hour min wage wouldn't go well - everyone in CA is suffering now, including the ones making $20/hour (actually especially them).
> Well unless it's just a quick script, in which case Python will do just fine.

Weirdly Go has made me enjoy Python even less and compilation is so fast it's turned into my go-to for quick "scripts."
Microsoft earlier this month announced four more previously "Xbox Exclusive" games, including Sea of Thieves often considered an Xbox flagship, were going to launch on PS5 soon (and the multiplayer titles will include PC/Xbox/PS5/Steam cross-play). Microsoft may be hinting that they see the console "war" coming to a close in the near future and software/services again more important than controlling the hardware. Or Microsoft may just be trying to prove to the courts that letting them eat up Activision Blizzard King was a good idea given most of the debates in the courts were about console exclusive windows and multiplatform launches. Time will tell which side of that fence Microsoft is actually on.
Say you have 3 hosts, each with a capacity of 10 VMs. At some point you have 28 running VMs - 10 on host1, 10 on host2, 8 on host3. Someone then closes down 2 of the VMs on host1, and 7 of the VMs on host3.

Now you have 19 VMs running, but need to keep all 3 hosts powered. If you don't have live VM moving, you are now forced to keep Host3 running only because 1 VM is running on it, even if that VM is idle. So, this one idle VM is responsible for all the energy consumption of host3, and will continue to be so until at least 3 more VMs get started (since you have room for 2 more VMs on host1).

If you did have live VM migration, or if the idle VM were powered down instead of running idle, you could close host3 completely, moving the VM to host 1, and only re-open host3 if needed for new VMs.

This is equivalent to the problem of memory fragmentation. Even though overall usage is low, if host usage is highly fragmented and you aren't allowed to move used memory around (compacting), you can end up consuming far more than actually needed.
I didn't say anything about the effectiveness of said governance.

I'm not exactly sure what you're arguing. Do you think that prohibiting the government from collecting data about utilities will help them regulate them more effectively? I don't really think that's the case.

The reason that some want to limit the data that is collected is exactly the regulatory capture problem you're referring to. Private industry doesn't want data being captured which sheds light on any issues they're causing. No news is good news for those who have attained regulatory capture.
The Navy developmental test community does carrier suitability testing of every new airframe, and there's a whole program of nominal and off-nominal arrestments they have to test in order to prove the jet can recover in all expected scenarios.
Interesting article! I didn't realize the choke hold Meta has on hiring at the moment. Sounds like they are really abusing it...
Thanks, I use a "small" EC2 instance for my personal stuff (about $35 a month), with the Cloudflare free version, but I honestly don't know and what would happen if something went viral or a DOS. Would the bill be double? Triple? Would the site simply crash. What does Cloudflare do? I honestly have no idea.
Restoring Arctic sea ice by pumping water to the surface
Chapter 2: Upsun and the decades of the open web
No, you really need to smarten it up, and start off by making sure that your checklist is correct. Is it the correct checklist for the airplane model that you are building? Are all the right items on the checklist? Are they being done in the correct order? Do you have the correct validation/verification steps in your checklist? Does your checklist include all the parts that will need to be replaced? If the mechanic finds a quality issue while working the checklist and a job needs to be re-done, which checklists then need to be re-done? What other jobs are impacted by the rework?

All indications here (from the NTSB prelim and the widely reported whistleblower account) are that during rework for a minor manufacturing discrepancy, the mechanics on the shop floor followed bad manufacturing planning / engineering instructions to-the-letter, then the ball was dropped in error handling when the engineering instructions did not match the airplane configuration, because Boeing was using two different systems of record for error handling that did not communicate with each other except though manual coordination.

That's not the fault of the front-line assembly worker not following a checklist.
>Meta vs. other FAANGs, and that lets us guess (pretty accurately) how much hiring is actually happening at these companies.

What is the data to support this?
awesome! Please take a look and let me know what you think.
This is why we still use services on VM's and open source containers. We can move our services anywhere, including selfhosting. AWS and Google offer some amazing solutions, but lock in ain't worth it if you can manage your own stack via serverless/vm solutions.
Agreed, the power laws of online content consumption means that the top 10% of creators will accumulate most of the paying suscribers.

"Creator Economy" is a term akin to "Gold Rush", in the sense that it's pushed by VCs looking to sell shovels in the form of a Patreon or Substack.
Well in this case target means I guess people who pay as 100k+ people use it all day long, they just refuse to pay.
