Here's that Cambridge dictionary definition:

> a type of business that is controlled by government rules

And here's the comment that kicked off this sub-thread:

> Often the rules that require things of a company have penalties for non-compliance.

> [...]

> Doesn't mean it is a regulated industry which is actually a very narrow term.

So a regulated industry is a type of business that is controlled by government rules, but (per the aforementioned comment) not all businesses which are controlled by government rules are regulated industries.

So, again, I think the response of

> That’s because restaurants are, believe it or not, also a regulated industry.

is a bizarre blend of unhelpful and rude.

Perhaps you and I will just have to agree to disagree on that point.
It's satire of an actual statement from a Minister who said that there was 'no environmental damage' because it happened too far offshore.

Spectacular phone. Nothing has come close with how well the notifications on it worked.

A 30 minute video for it though, no thanks.
Home solar + storage is a competitor essentially
AMD got burned when they did it the other way around in the Kaveri (2014) era, when they bet on unified memory, transparently passing pointers between gpu/cpu with unified virtual memory etc, and hoped that software would start to utilize GPUs more with OpenCL and other vendor neutral APIs providing portability.

I mean, the C10k problem was coined in 1999[0]. A 10W raspberry pi is going to be faster than any server of that day, so it depends on what exactly you are hosting if you need the noisy box.

The Metro is about as reliable a source of scientific news as TMZ. Honestly Sports Illustrated, Vogue, and Knitting Today are more scientifically trustworthy.
Looks like it fits in a nice space between FastAPI and Django, with some batteries included and an async-first approach.
You're not wrong. There's been a lot of drama over licensing and releasing datasets, and a lot of the LLM scene are just pitchmen and promoters with no better grasp over what they're doing than "trust me, it's better".

Like with "prompt engineering", a lot of people are just hiding how much of the heavy lifting is from base models and a fluke of the merge. The past few "secret" set leaks were low/no delta diffs to common releases.

I said it a year ago, but if we want to wowed, make this a job for MLIS holders and references librarians. Without thorough, thoughtful curation, these things are just toys in the wrong hands.
> I'm not outraged, I'm just pointing out that Gemini is clearly not fit for public consumption at this point.

If it's logically sound, I see no problems.
Thanks, that was informative – albeit a bit focused on performance.
I just migrated some projects to Cloudflare Pages for the time being.
His follow-up book on Doom is also a fantastic read.
There's a reason price plans are 'pay as you go' - so that they don't take on any risk for things like this. Moral of the story: never go for pay as you go by usage plans if this scenario is not mitigated through a third party.
By no means am I trying to suggest a get out for Netlify here - more a rule of thumb for anyone worried the same could happen to them.
Im using mixtral 8x7b (q5) for my use cases, such as scripting, searching for ideas and or definitions that i allways need to factcheck.

"I did not intend to generate or refer to fictitious cases in this matter. That is clearly wrong and not something I would knowingly do," Ke wrote in her deposition.

"I never had any intention to rely upon any fictitious authorities or to mislead the court."

So beware what ChatGPT tells you. It might not be real and this can be a big problem in some situations.
I tried the first one, but currently I don't have time to verify what it generated.

But I have done many Arduino/Raspberry PI things lately for the first time in my life and I feel like ChatGPT/Copilot has given me a huge boost even if it doesn't always give 100 percent code out of the box, it will give me a strong starting point where I can keep tweaking myself.
That's probably the most ridiculous answer there is.

1. The chance that something like Bitcoin is a logical virus and being though of is.not that far fetched. All of it's tec was already here.

2. Just because people believe in Bitcoin and don't understand it doesn't make it fair.

3. People like to think about it because he is still the inventor even if his invention is responsible for a tremendous amount of CO2 and he should be very rich which makes this 'mystery' interesting

And as said in a thread yesterday: Bitcoin doesn't even solve the trust issue.

I'm convinced i think, just not initially by the simulator! I needed to reason my way separately but I think I'm happy with the sim now.
No need to be snarky, clearly monitoring end user connections is a must. But the general idea of using RSS for monitoring is new to me, thanks for sharing!
Yes, he does and, as you noted: it was removed.

We also always requested for Google to never store the IP address and now we run our own analytics infrastructure we definitely do not store it at all.

sneak just has a grudge against Homebrew because we blocked them for going on and on about this so they resort to ranting on Hacker News instead every time Homebrew is mentioned.
This is cool! We're just starting to look into this area as we integrate pricing/billing/plan logic and entitlements at scale. Thanks for the example and reminder to read through the Zanzibar white paper.
How about the other way: email -> account ID?
I guess we need regulation for this.

It seems a very reliable fact of human nature, based on millennia of evidence. We started building 10,000 years ago and haven't stopped.

Humans are social animals; our primate ancestors also are social, living in groups of dozens. It's not an accident or good luck.
Why does most startup comes with a shitty pricing ramp nowadays?

Free plan : Because everybody does that and we don't give a crap if we are loosing money

Personal plan : More than 6x the monthly price of the personal plan of GitHub because our solution clearly worth that, trust us (also we need paying customers to sustain the free plan, that thing cost us like A LOt)

Enterprise plan : Yeah you know what that personal plan we totally get that it's too much so call us and we can arrange something. It's business after all it's not like you are a struggling indie dev or a startup hahaha.

When did it all go wrong?
I feel a class action lawsuit is incoming. Potentially with FTC support...
Maybe not converting legacy code, but starting new projects in Rust !

At my robotics company (where I lost so many hours compiling overly-templated code in C++), I was able to convince my boss to start a new small product in Rust (was an internal simulation tool) and it convinced him to let me work on another new product a few month later, also in Rust, on a much bigger scale. He had only ever worked in C++ before, and I guess he doesn't mind to loose hours compiling and fixing memory leaks. But regardless, it worked and now I can work (a bit) in Rust.
too lazy is a bit uncharitable. These terms tend to be buried 8pt font disclaimer text and esoteric metering matrixes.

meanwhile in size 72 font on the marketing page it says FREE STATIC SITE HOSTING!

that's why this thread is more or less condemning scammy business practices.

[edit] check out this forum explanation from render.com billing:

> Free Tier Services are suspended, no overage charges. Paid Tier Services are unaffected (Free Tier Services can be upgraded to a Paid Tier, this isn’t an overage because you are manually intervening.)
Exceeding allotted Bandwidth does result in automatic overage charges. $30 for additional 100 GB blocks.
Exceeding Pipeline Minutes results in deployments failing and no overage charges by default, you can configure whether you want to allow overage charges for additional blocks of Pipeline Minutes.

I still don't understand, free tiers are suspended so no overage charges, but then how can they exceed bandwidth of which we're liable? x_X
I agree that the algorithm is weird.

To start with, it feels like 30% of the videos are videos I’ve already watched.

The rest tends to be a very naive list of things related to the last ten videos I’ve watched including many that were recommended before that I didn’t watch and never will. Often I pull down to refresh and it alternates between two lists and that’s it.

I know recommendations are a complex problem but the results seem very far off from what I’d expect.
Fixing bugs is useful, but if that's all someone does, that usually means the company's development process is bad. The developer of code should be ensuring it's bug-free, along with the rest of their team (i.e. code reviews, unit testing, system testing, etc.), not committing a bunch of crap to master and then expecting others to fix all their bugs.
Hetzner will just null route your server if you’re DDoS’d.
A successful distributed denial of money is likely much more devastating to anyone except really large companies than a successful DDoS. For a personal accounts it is entirely devastating with no upside, but even for a startup it would probably be better for your site to just go down instead of having huge bills generated.
I’m sure cap n proto understands that infinity doesn’t exist in the real world
Power BI is great, and so is Tableau. (Or at least when I used them a few years ago.)

Most people just don’t to analyze data and hardly even know how to use Excel, so something like Power BI or Tableau looks like rocket science when really these tools should make you feel like you’re upgrading to power tools from basic hand tools.
It's a lie, based on what their sales teams were telling friends of mine who work in the F2P gaming industry.

And they're really not playing by the same rules as everyone else given that they own the platform that all this activity takes place on, so they get basically all iOS users data without needing any permission dialogue.

This is literally part of their ad sales pitch and ads is the fastest growing part of the services business.

So maybe they don't do all this stuff now (but they don't need to because they receive installs and conversions by the very nature of running the platform).

Like, google could make the same claim Apple make here and it would be true for Android.
I believe that's what Firebase Hosting does.

As I recall, you have to actively sign up for the paid plan (Blaze) to get pay-as-you-go billing. Otherwise, you get free quota, and if it's up, it's up.

I think it also integrates into all of Google Cloud's billing management stuff, but I've never had to bother with that.
there is a middle ground between “I missed the spotlight because the service went down” and “this bill has ruined my life”.

they could ask the user for their budget when they are setting up their account as a basic guardrail, or they could give you a call
Right and as a CDN they HAVE to handle layer 3 & 4 DDoS themselves so it's not like they're doing you any favours. The traffic is typically routed to the customer based on SNI.
So tabloids like the new York Post and Washington Times should have been sued into oblivion too, first amendment be damned... Which means Gemini wasn't wrong after all.

First, I’m not sure why you rank the original and classic 737 so high, given the fatal rudder issues, which Boeing tried to hide in a similar way as the -max saga.

Second, the 717 is actually just a renamed DC-9, and DC-9’s (and the MD-80 series, which are also renamed DC-9’s) certainly have had hull losses and fatalities. They all share the same type certificate, so it’s a bit meaningless to slice out the accidental statistics of 717’s from the rest of the production.

A major reason the 717 had so few accidents is that relatively few of them were sold as “717”s and the design was fairly mature and thoroughly debugged by the time they were marketed as 717’s.
This is why one can't ignore the car picked cases, so the simulator is correct.

I grew up and did my education in Denmark. Here we have another sentiment on philanthropy than the anglo world has. Generally I don't like when a single person decide the destiny for many people, as in this case. It as anti democratic and concentrates power.

Stories like these are heartwarming indeed, but they also help keep status quo. In a more fair world a person should probably not be able to amass more than USD 1B by making the right bet on the stock market. That wealth is build in this way is anti-meritocratic.

Stories like this highlight an interesting paradox of the anglo world: The relationsship between democracy and large scale individual impact and the relationsship between allowing people to make their own wealth while the really rich people are merely early, passive, investors.

(It is hard to write critical comments like this when "The donor being a 93 year old doctor/alumni of that school that studied "learning disabilities and developed screening protocols"." - I hope you can forgive me.)
Yes. Max would have to have all his PRs reviewed until he contributes enough to be a maintainer and then would have to run for any/all committees or the Project Leader role in elections. He has the same chances anyone else on the internet does.
Don't you find when developing web apps that you often need to use elements that have no semantic value? I'm referring to divs that are needed as hooks/exploits/workarounds for CSS, such as redundant containers that have (or don't have) relative position, or are needed for their stacking context, or to contain overscroll, or to prevent a shadow from being clipped, etc.? These problems also grow more complex when you have to compensate for Safari's issues. I always try to abuse ::before and ::after to streamline the markup, but there's a lot these pseudo-elements can't do.
Host on a provider which bills per hour. This caps your cost. It also makes your users pissed because you will go down, but if you’re small, you can afford that. If you’re big, you already have scaling options and should have a team to handle ddos.
I want to make this happen ! Do you know of any good robotics framework in Rust, as of today ? I heard that ROS2 was slowly including Rust [1], not sure at how did it go. Ros would be a good entry door to sensor fusion, mapping and localization. Because all of the hardware integration / abstraction is already done (in C++). I'm curious to know if company are using this.

Also the new things are objectively worse for the customers than the old things were. Ring's improvement over doorbell cameras is video quality. Smart TVs may simplify the process of having to buy and plug a Chromecast, but you buy and plug a Chromecast specifically to avoid all the bullshit and planned obsolescence that Smart TVs come with. Etc.
Exactly. I think this also might be a reason why they didn't implement ddos protection on this level. So, they can grab as much as they can.
I like people with your attitude! Leaves more for people willing to work and to learn things. I upvoted your comment out of pity.

That era represented the collapse of 8 bit microcomputers. They were huge, then nothing. Silicon Valley had boomed, then gone bust. No one had much use for computers except brave financial analysts willing to use the toylike Apple ][ for primitive spreadsheets. No one took the Mac seriously until Postscript and laser printers happened.

In October 1987 Black Monday hit, causing the worst market crash since the Depression. I hit up a bunch of angel investors—a term that didn’t even exist—to raise money for a batch file compiler. A compiler! That supported me and several employees for years.

Point is that you can always make opportunities happen even in hard times.
There are known techniques, specifically reserved instances and spot instances, but your $500k savings isn't the same as someone else's $500k savings, so if you feel so inclined, you should definitely do it!
That's up to the community to ask, not me. It's not up to me what Max or Tea says on the internet, sorry.

It's worth noting the opposite direction: generally when an open-source project considers another to succeed it, it is noted on their homepage/GitHub repository. We (Homebrew) do not state Tea is a successor because, from our perspective, it is not.
Firebase Hosting is rad.
Force killing system processes is quite obviously bad for your system, although the Core Audio Daemon is a special case. However, I would never force kill almost any other system daemon, unless you want to risk data loss/corruption and potential damage to your Mac.
I was searching for 'cloudflare spending limits' based on comments here, at first glance they (like Vercel) seem to have a notify don't terminate policy.

What I didn't appreciate is static assets are completely free: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/functions/pricing/#s...

So therefore I assume static cloudflare pages are free.

Incidentally Vercel does seem to have an (annoyingly indirect) way of halting usage based on spending: https://vercel.com/docs/accounts/spend-management

We have Tableau but I've never found it particularly useful, as most of what I do is very exploratory and Tableau seems more like a place to build final presentation of things that will just go to gather dust.

Any cloud service that offers prepaid billing on a credits model would get a lot of customers.

(Prepaid is also superior from a cash flow perspective too.)
Netlify charge $55 per 100GB for overages on their starter plan. Keep in mind that they’re being billed by their provider at 95th percentile billing. That means they have ports running at say 100 gigabits per second and have a commit of say 50 gb/s and they’re billed a flat rate for that as long as they don’t go over. Because they’re billed 95th percentile they can spike their connection traffic massively for 5% of the time and not get billed more. So Netlify themselves have a safety net and don’t need real-time monitoring to immediately cut their usage. And of course any spikes from a single user are massively diluted among their entire user base. So, yeah, they’re gouging big time.

What they should have is monitoring per user and a default that 503s the site with no overages that has to be proactively disabled by the user. Instead they’re just letting it ride and trying their luck by negotiating down the overage charge to what they think the user can stomach.

This happened to me on a much smaller scale about a year back. I was never happier to have stuck to my guns, building my whole site with a single `hugo` command - it made it very easy to migrate off that platform for good.

If anyone has a solid bash one liner to stress test a website, so that I can test whether my cloud billing cap will work correctly if I accidentally try to egress 100 MB of data or something, I would seriously appreciate it. There was one on a blog post here like a year back, using apache iirc, but I forgot to bookmark it.
Haskell's FFI has `withForeignPtr :: ForeignPtr a -> (Ptr a -> IO b) -> IO b` [1].

A ForeignPtr is a GC-managed pointer with an associated finalizer.
The finalizer runs when the ForeignPtr gets GC'd.

`withForeignPtr` creates a scope (accepting a lambda) in which you can inspect the pointer `(Ptr a -> IO b)`.

This works well in practice, so I do not really understand why "among GC implementors, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a program containing finalizers must be in want of a segfault".

It would be interesting to apply the existing anti-monopoly rules designed to prevent Nestlé from buying all the water to the companies who are buying all the houses.

Knowing the deep aversion to risk the owners of these companies have I guess it would only take one successful ruling to discourage pretty much the whole market and significantly reset house prices.

Private landlords would take a bit more finagling given that renters also dream of one day owning multiple homes they can rent out but maybe one could sweeten the pot by finding ways to help folk retire more easily?

Implementing this may take winning a national election and a non-trivial amount of social engineering but it's not like it hasn't been done before in other places at other times.

I do like your ideas.
The judge believed the offending lawyer's plea of ignorant incompetence, and declined the other side's request for extra penalties for reprehensible conduct and abuse of process. But still ordered the offender to review all her previous work submitted to the court, to identify any previous submissions of fake cases...

So a complete train wreck, that could re-open a bunch of settled cases. Or the offender and the "justice" system might quietly "decide" that they don't want to work hard at making themselves look worse, and just leave a bunch of wrongly-settled cases lie.

IANAL, but it seems long past time for judges to start pretending that they actually care about the "truth and justice" stuff, and permabanning lawyers who pull this kind of crap from the practice of law.
AWS support, for example, tends to be really good about waiving charges for things that are clearly your mistake, like an unused instance that you forgot to turn off for a couple months.

This is an admission that their UX sucks and makes it hard to know what state your account is in and what you're paying for. They waive the fees because a few high profile cases of people paying thousands due to the AWS console being awful would drive a lot of customers away.
I believe the proper response should have been "Do you?"
