They didn't say they are empty?

Most investors aren't keeping their properties empty. The empty places are generally owned wealthy people as a second/third home, or as means for foreigners to offshore their wealth. And this accounts for a tiny fraction of the housing supply compared to domestic/corporate real estate investors.
> That's not my goal, and you know that.

Didn't you just say that you didn't want to read about any other build system, as that would involve effort? Uh... okay.

> The reason you aren't naming one is that they obviously _aren't_ similar in ways that matter.

Or, as I said previously, I'm not interested in endorsing build tools I haven't used, because I'm not in the market for a cargo clone. They exist. Plenty of folks I know are happy with one or another. Build tools are not difficult to write. As with the article, if you don't like existing build tools, spend an afternoon writing your own. It's a little graph theory and job management.
Right; I think the correct frame is, major operating systems are utilities. They must be regulated the same way that all systemically important utilities are regulated; heavily. Monopolies are natural, and arguably desirable, with utilities; but they need to be subject to extremely strong regulation to maintain the right balance.

The DMA was always phrased from the wrong perspective (which is just classic EU, they literally cannot ever get regulation right). The correct phrasing is: once a computer operating system achieves a certain level of market adoption (say, 50M+ active installations), it is designated as a systemically critical operating system. Among other regulations, one thing systemically critical operating systems must allow is the independent and unrestricted installation and execution of applications from the internet.

Regulating the market (App Store) itself is just dumb. Apple should not be forced to have Epic Games as a customer. It destroys trust in the App Store's review process, and legitimately does from my perspective infringe on Apple's rights as a business to do business with partners as they please. There's a gulf of difference between "forcing the App Store to distribute some application" and "allowing that application to be freely distributed on the internet". Regulation should be specifically targeted toward the second situation; and leave the App Store alone.
I think there's a sense that our personal experiences are being hijacked by algorithms. This has been going on for at least a decade or two but they've been getting more and more devious and extractive as the Internet, and our attention has been heavily capitalized upon. Nothing is private. Everything is for sale. Your worth is algorithmic, and AI is the biggest and most devious algorithm there is.
I mean, "no liability" definitely is.
Those are all true, but:

>For a lot of people, if you get a positive result from a test that a doctor brushes off that's not going to go well.

This is precisely because of the rarity of testing. Suppose the cost of testing dropped 1000x and we could get tests for things each day or each month. We'd start to have systems that put these things on context.

When you have a single isolated result there really isn't that much to go on.
Well, it was a dumbed down example. In that particular case, appointments can be added, removed, or moved at any moment, so I can’t just run one job every 24 hours to tee up the next day’s work and leave it at that. Simply polling the database for messages that are due to go out gives me my just-in-time queue, but then I need to build out the work to distribute it, and we didn’t like the IO costs.

I did end up moving it Redis and basically ZADD an execution timestamp and job ID, then ZRANGEBYSCORE at my desired interval and remove those jobs as I successfully distribute them out to workers. I then set a fence time. At that time a job runs to move stuff that should have ran but didn’t (rare, thankfully) into a remediation queue, and load the next block of items that should run between now + fence. At the service level, any items with a scheduled date within the fence gets ZADDed after being inserted into the normal database. Anything outside the fence will be picked up at the appropriate time.

This worked. I was able to ramp up the polling time to get near-real time dispatch while also noticeably reducing costs. Problems were some occasional Redis issues (OOM and having to either a keep bumping up the Redis instance size or reduce the fence duration), allowing multiple pollers for redundancy and scale (I used schelock for that :/), and occasionally a bug where the poller craps out in the middle of the Redis work resulting in at least once SLA which required downstream protections to make sure I don’t send the same message multiple time to the patient.

Again, it all works but I’m interested in seeing if there are solutions that I don’t have to hand roll.

I think people mix "homelab" and "homeprod". Here there are some other comments mentioning homeprod. To me what you describe sounds more like a homeprod setup. But I like the "lab" part. When one could just relax and experiment with lots of stuff.

I do have an ECC instance for data, to be backed up to a remote S3. I could torch it. It still remains a lab. I could just buy a new hardware and restore. But it's only about the valuable data (isolated to a couple of containers), not "restore of my entire setup".
This is sure reading a lot into an unpublished letter that just says he disliked Dune without giving a reason. Maybe he hates sand, I hear some people do. Maybe he thought it was too long and should have been split into three volumes. Interesting way to discuss some related issues, but, like Dune and Tolkien's own work, highly speculative!
Regulations CAN be good. But Europe tends to have better regulations than the US lately.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_in_a_Republic

Relevant excerpt:

[
Citizenship in a Republic is the title of a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910.[1]

One notable passage from the speech is referred to as "The Man in the Arena":[2][3]

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Someone who is heavily involved in a situation that requires courage, skill, or tenacity, as opposed to someone sitting on the sidelines and watching, is often referred to as "the man in the arena".

For the self hosted option, are there plans to create a Kubernetes operator? With an MIT license do you fear Amazon could create a Amazon Hatchet Service sometime in the future?
I too hope Android thrives. Even though I enjoy my iPhone for it’s design choices and it works for my use, I do understand the issue of ceding so much control to a single entity. Android’s existence as an “escape hatch” is certainly part of the value proposition of the iPhone to me.
I like it in general, but by default it also hides the play control on videos (at least, live streams) which is a problem. I had to stop the video to change the screen size, adjust volume, turn captions on/off etc.

They missed AI along with everyone else except for OpenAI and MS. But, it's hard to say they're being left behind when they have products that are the defining product of the category. Obviously there's the iPhone, but also AirPods, iPad, and Apple Watch.

And the ARM changeover in the laptops has been so seamless, people seem to ignore the huge risks with switching architectures. And now everyone is chasing them for the same power/battery life.

They've had some missteps, but we need a few more years to really know if they have been left behind. Apple was never one to be first to do something.

> But, if this is the "Cargo is the best vs all others" debate...

It isn't. It's certainly better than any C build systems, but I'm aware of a few other similar build systems (just not for C).

> ...kindly count me out. I don't care.

Only you have the power to stop posting. And if you did, it would make your claim that you don't care a lot more convincing.

> If you're using other languages or platforms, there are plenty of excellent alternatives.

True! But C isn't one of those languages.

And let's be real, that's really why you're mad. It isn't that I'm bringing up Rust that's making you mad, it's that I'm criticizing C.

C isn't perfect and it's not the best at everything. And that's fine! It's great for what it is. But what it isn't is a modern language with modern tooling. And that's a real downside to consider when choosing a language to write a project in.

That's not the only consideration, and there are a lot of reasons why I, myself, would choose C for a new project (not the least of being that I'm a lot better at C than at Rust).

> This sort of Rust proselytizing -- on an article about C of all things -- is why so many perceive the Rust community as being toxic. You might think you're helping to spread the glory of Rust, but that's not how you are coming across.

I'm not particularly concerned with how I represent the Rust community. I don't even view myself as part of the Rust community (yet). If anything, I have a lot more claim to being a member of the C community than of the Rust community, as I've written orders of magnitude more C code than Rust code.
I spend a lot of time thinking about randomness, and after running some tests on the entropy of dark images, I have started to believe that there is a lot less entropy in dark CCD images than people think, but there is still enough to get a useful entropy stream.

A substantial portion of the "noise" from a CCD is definitely not random.
Doesn't sound anything like that. It would be like if "Ask HN: Who's Hiring?" was asked why they didn't ensure that the hiring was evenly distributed among (say) races. They're just a forum, a place where people can post stuff. They can't guarantee that the people posting are of that distribution unless they themselves post it.

In this case, Uber is just a forum where people post ride availability and people look for ride availability.

It's not an outrageous argument to make, but it clearly didn't take. Presumably Uber will have to ensure there are sufficient UberWAV available in any region they offer normal services.
That's a personal step which is good to take for credibility, but the only two effective things to do are:

1. Violence against corrupt capital-owners (I'm not advocating this, for legal reasons, just saying it could be effective)

2. Organizing your fellow malcontents (that is: people who give a quarter of a fuck about human dignity), which is hard work but can really pay off systematically. Note though that you may still end up with some of the same legal risks as #1.
I wont even play it probably, but i look forward to buy that game via the Epic Banana store just to vote with my wallet.
Historically yes it is a massive part of what unions have done and continue to do. For example there have been many examples of dock workers refusing to transport South African or Israeli goods. That this is done as a collective action organised by union is what protects workers from individual retaliation.
What a bunch of clowns! Seriously, Apple? Are they so full of hubris that they could not see how their haste would backfire?

Given the compensation level of their legal team I’d expect that they could see it coming and spare the public humiliation and brand damage.

It would also make a big difference to their future demography. If a country kills off its young women then you can't birth the next generation.

Both Russia and Ukraine have abysmal demographic pyramids.
it's hard to say if that's causative though, because there are so many other confounding factors. wealth also is correlated with fewer kids, and since more working produces more wealth that's also a factor, in addition to lots of other little things.
Yeah I stopped playing it pretty quickly. There was that not-wordle game where you had to not get the word. It made me realise just how tricky failing wordle was.

I still do "where taken", which is photos of countries, tradle for oec trade commodities and guess the game for video games. They're all far more interesting than guessing some random word.

To be clear, redwoods still grow in almost all of their former range. They were logged, but they grew back. About 4% was never logged and is old-growth.

Coroutines in JavaScript for web components
Although I tend to mostly use async/await these days, I find the other JavaScript asynchronous primitives interesting. Generator functions, iterables, and async versions of the two.

The author shows a plausible way to put these primitives together to create coroutines powering rendering and lifecycles for web components. And although I'm pretty familiar with the syntax involved, I still learned some new ways to put it together from this article.

Also the author's previous intro article to coroutines in JavaScript might be helpful for learning the basic syntax and patterns: https://lorenzofox.dev/posts/coroutine/
I'm not familiar at all with these stories. I should read about them.

I think there's a fairly clear delineation between a terrorist and a freedom fighter. A terrorist's goal is to sow terror among the target entity. It does so by random indiscriminate violence (and barbarism). The more random the target is and the more barbaric the attack is the better. 9/11 is a good example. A terrorist has no moral qualms. The goal justifies anything. It's almost certain that the terrorist is losing in any measurable objective. E.g. the Chechen attacks in Moscow leading to Russia essentially levelling Chechnia, or the Sri Lankans destroying the Tamils. It's kind of a lost cause made worse by violence.

A freedom fighter, to contrast, will weigh the morality of their actions vs. what they can accomplish and other non-violent alternatives. They will weigh the violence they use, their targets, against specific "freedom" goals. They will not sacrifice their own humanity to pursue their goal. They have some reasonable chance of achieving some real "freedom" goals out of the targeted acts of violence. WW-II Partisans come to mind.

Show HN: Sambaverse – Run Open Source Models Side-by-Side
Hi HN! I'm very excited to share Sambaverse with you all! This is a project we've been working on for a while inside SambaNova that lets you compare open source models side-by-side and instantly hot-swap models, all while running on SambaNova's custom hardware. We've been having a lot of fun comparing these models internally and I hope you all enjoy, too!

The official press release for the product can be found here: https://sambanova.ai/press/sambaverse-empowering-developers-...
Over what time period did you get 57 sales? If it was in a month or two, that's still excellent growth starting from zero.

Do you have any insights about the type of people who paid money for it? I would start from that image of your customers, and then think about where you can find more of them.

If you're generating marketing strategy for non-english speakers, I would figure out a particular vertical that you know exactly where to find those customers, and blast the crap out of it.
There are a slew of images built on Fedora Silverblue and a lot of them are very interesting. The ability to rebase in and out of base images safely and atomically is really powerful and liberating.

It's a system level feature and uses the system provided web engine.

Microsoft doesn't let you swap out EdgeHTML or Trident for applications that use the native OS web frame.

But apps shouldn't be forced to use that web frame is the issue the commission had and the DMA attempts to resolve.
It's partially medical professionals! My partner is better paid than she would be in, say, Canada. US medical worker pay absolutely contributes to our costs - I just meant to point out it's not the only factor and that those jobs, though well paid, can be taxing for the people in them on a day-by-day basis.
Maybe they've finally realized that the $38 billion fine for failing to comply was in fact not a joke.

I guess I'm really lucky, my doctor sends me emails and responds to emails, as does his nurses. During Covid my doctor gave me his cell phone number to text him if things got worse. If your doctor charges money for emails, find another doctor or pay the fee. There's plenty of doctors.

I don't think so. That honestly just sounds like a baseless appeal to cynicism.

And as for "low political risk," didn't they just get their phone lines jammed with complaints?

> and won't change the status quo (Congress won't be successful in their stated goals)

What goals are those? It seems like their big goal is to remove a popular social network from the control of an adversary nation, and this bill would do that.

IIRC, CIFUS successful forced the Chinese to divest Grindr. I don't see why this divestment would be out of reach.

Honest question, can you provide a single example of a company that came to dominate an industry only to then go out of business purely because people chose to stop buying and interacting with them?

I honestly can't think of a single example of a monopoly, cartel, or industry leading company which has ever crumbled due to everyone collectively deciding not to do business with them. (without some sort of government regulation or technological advancement facilitating the change)

Show HN: GPU Price list inspired by diskprices.com
Like others, I was inspired by the article on diskprices.com, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 and I thought GPUs would be a good product for this style of site (but I have been beaten to the punch for the GPUprices.com domain).

How it's done: I have used the Amazon product API (PAAPI v5), as I had access due to having at least 3 sales with the amazon affiliate program. Using the API and some python code I'm able to curate searches somewhat, removing things like water blocks, laptops and full systems that show up when sorting by price. I have used a static page per region that gets updated every few hours (6hr at the moment). A small amount of Javascript is on each page to filter the list based on checkboxes. Checkbox selections are updated in the URL, enabling the user to link directly to the products they are interested in. Python scripts run on a $5 a month VPS to search using the amazon api and to generate the html files. Cron job to run the scripts and to do a git push to github of the html files, which is picked up by a netlify builder for free static hosting.

The latest challenge is that after 30 days, the API limits access based on revenue: "your account will earn a usage limit of one TPD for every five cents or one TPS (up to a maximum of ten TPS) for every $4320 of shipped item revenue generated via the use of Product Advertising API 5.0 for shipments in the previous 30-day period.". So its easier to run into limits when testing.

For fun I added A100 and H100 products as well: https://gpuquicklist.com/pro?models=H100%2080GB,A100%2080GB . Although I doubt someone is going to spend $20k to $30k through amazon, it's interesting to see that a small amount are available on there.
So it's not about PWAs at all then, it's just a handy complaint?
