Performance benefit we will get with external device for journaling for XFS?
We have 150 storage nodes, with 25 disks per storage node, all are HDD, with 1 nvme slot. HDD are XFS. How much performance gain would we see with an external device journaling, journal written to NVME. These nodes are write heavy work load, with around 2K requests for write per/sec. Size of these files are 4MB each.
It’s funny, I get buying things that save a bunch of time (bread for example) - but it literally takes about the same amount of time to make popcorn on the stove as it does to microwave it, and the quality is much better (well really just using real butter makes it so much better), that I’m perplexed as to why anyone would bother with the microwave stuff

When I first got my driver's license in California, I had to do a test driving on the streets. The driving test also required driving on the freeway, but the examiner waived it. When I asked why, he said they waive all freeway driving because "it's too dangerous for the examiners". Sounds fair, if not legal.

I subsequently got my license.

When I moved to Oregon years later and re-applied for a license, a driving test was required but the DMV lady waived it. Why? Probably because the DMV was way out in the country and she was literally the only one working the office.

I subsequently got my license.

I had never heard of this, but I've read his Working, which was an impressive tome. I'll be checking it out.

Unusually enough, I found out about it while reading a book I had bought at City Lights Bookstore (Sabotage in the American Workplace: Anecdotes of Dissatisfaction, Mischief and Revenge), which cited it as a major inspiration.
It's so easy to understand if every step is dumbed down and visualized. Teachers who write dense math on whiteboards need to learn a thing or two about pedagogy. The math should supplement the pictures, not the other way around, unless your audience is other experts.
What good does giving the names of individuals to the NTSB do?

They can give detailed testimony, eg indicating what the process was but also things like (for example) 'I spent the first half of my shift getting the door plug in place with the help of A and B, and then broke for lunch. As I returned to work a supervisor directed me to work on [something else]. I said the door plug wasn't finished but the supervisor told me it would be taken care of.'

The thing with a spreading responsibility across the whole team is that it gets reduced to an abstraction and the disciplinary measures are ultimately up to Boeing. I think finding the faults in the chain of command requires canvassing individual workers who can share their first-hand experience on the factory floor. Otherwise the whole thing gets blamed on the 'door fitting team', but there isn't any incentive to look at whether similar corner-cutting happens on the wheel teams or the fuel tank installation teams or (fill in the blank).

From what I've read about Boeing's work culture and the 737 production line, I really doubt it was just one unit that didn't pull their weight.

I remember seeing this book on my boss' desk in the late 90s. I commented something like "There's a whole book on linkers and loaders?!". Turns out he was reading it because he was working on a side project that would eventually become his paid gig (he left about a year later).
yikes.

I was responding to them sidestepping the first commenter’s question.
I think they may be using low precision quants during peak load, which makes the output sometimes complete garbage. I'm most convinced though that the main way they destroyed gpt-4 is the extremely-long system prompt they've been using since making it all-in-one, it has made gpt-4 all but unusable for even mildly complex tasks. Those system prompt tokens are powerful tokens and they're wasted on telling the model how to prompt dall-e without offending anyone when my prompt is actually about generating a unittest. Using the "gpt classic" "gpt" it's much better, but the usage limit hits fast and all the network errors are irritating.

it seems this is in the context of "extraction" where all of the data is already present in the input text, and all that's needed is the reformatting. This is something we've been wrestling with (even today): is the role of fructose and/or our eventual formatting model to provide both intelligence + formatting (such as generating novel data, on the fly, constrained to structure), or just formatting (anything-to-json). Not sure what the answer is and not expecting one, we're just realizing the clear split between needs of users running extraction vs more generative/creative tasks.

Congress has passed laws delegating authority about certain aspects of a certain section of laws to these agencies because they can react faster.

At some point a person's body may become resistant to insulin and start to need more insulin to have normal functioning (pre-diabetes), sometimes this causes large variation in glucose levels, though not as drastic as taking a medication. Eventually your body would adapt to it when you reach the diabetes phase.

Yes, I heard it was also in part because the road was often muddy so it allowed pedestrians to stay out of the mud.
Curious why you are careful to never mention the handle of the HN user in text, only in images. What is the perceived threat model of stating clearly (in this comment, or in your blog post) the name of the HN user who copied you etc?
Road width is tricky. If you make it too narrow, the road is hard to use. If you make it feel like there is a lot of room to get by pedestrians and cyclists, drivers will go fast. The trick is to make it feel like there isn't enough room to easily get by, while actually having enough room to do it safely.

But it's also important to position yourself on the road properly. When driving on narrow roads, I drive over the middle, so opposing drivers will slow, and then get back to my side, so we can squeeze by carefully. When cycling or walking on narrow roads, I position myself where a car's tire would tend to be, not at the edge of the road; this helps a driver see that they need to avoid me, although I'll make room as they get near (yes, somewhat out of self preservation).

I always felt bad for Rumsfeld (not Cheney) being the target of so much mockery for that comment. I disliked him style and decisions as Secretary of Defense, but that was one of the smartest and most realistic things he said. It's amazing to me how many people derided it as meaningless garbage when it self-evidently true and provided a worthwhile insight into the complexities of strategic decision-making.

I think there is something to the nature of your addition example that is counter to your point. Addition being an "abstraction" doesn't make it destroy information it's just an algebraic property of addition. If you instead took multiplication of prime numbers as your "abstraction", no less abstract than addition, then every product would have a unique factorization in the primes. Whether either of these operations makes sense for your problem and thus whether their limitations apply doesn't have anything to do with what "abstraction" you choose. They are either isomorphic to some aspect of your problem or they aren't.
I think part of it is the current situation lends itself to more pro-gaza headlines.

For starters the situation is evolving more on that front. Every new action is a potential headline for palestine. On the other hand Israel's position is much more static: They want to prevent the slaughter on oct 7 from happening again, and are using force to do so. That hasn't changed. You can't make new headlines out of it.

Its probably also inherent to the fact that Israel is currently on the offensive, outside of its territory in an asymetrical urban conflict. The optics on that are always going to be bad for the state in Israel's position regardless of how justified it is. Urban conflict is always a bloody mess, same with asymetric conflicts.

When israel bombs a hospital that makes a great headline. Its easy to understand and verify - hospital used to be there, now it is not. Its emotional - everyone knows in normal circumstances hospitals are supposed to be off limits. The Israeli side is hard to fit into a headline - hospital bombed after it became a military target due to use by militants, in accordance with international law and the principles of porportionality and distinction. For starters that is a mouthful to be a headline. It lacks emotional punch because now we are talking about legalese not deaths of innocets. Its hard to understand - most non experts do not know what the doctrine of porportionality& distinction is. Even if they do, we do not know in the fog of war what israel knew when targeting it and if it was reasonable at the time. Even if we did, where precisely the line is can be controversially grey. Its not like there is a huge amount of case law on this. Determing if it was legal would probably require hundreds of pages of legal argumentation. Even then, there is a whole other question of if the line international law draws is the correct one morally, which you could write a book on. Its just very hard to put all that in a news article.

So i don't think it is HN's fault that most of these articles lean more anti-israel. Its just much easier to write about things from that perspective. It is much more black and white and requires much less nuance and context.

> In Greek mythology, Cerberus... often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving.

Greed isn't the problem here, stupidity is. A smart greedy person adds value for the long haul, enjoying both the greater financial rewards and social prestige of being an all-round good guy.

A dumb greedy person sucks a national treasure dry for a quick bump of profit ($BA has lost a ton of money for years now) and then slinks away to the sound of jeers and booing.

A smart non-greedy person isn't motivated enough to do either, so at least they're not bad.

This is just frothing at the mouth. I also think Rumsfeld was a war criminal, but that has nothing to do with the epistemology of this remark. I doesn't become less true just because someone you dislike says it, that's a genetic fallacy.
However, I do not expect the average congressperson to have the level of expertise in multiple disciplines (like biochemistry, oncology, endocrinology, etc.) required to make decisions about these sorts of things. I'm also not inclined to think that the average congressperson would do the right thing in regards to regulating business when large donations to their campaigns from those industries are involved.
I have plan that I haven’t implemented yet, but I want to route all my outbound internet traffic through a Squid reverse proxy, which will in turn add every visited URL to YaCy (except for domains I choose to exempt).

A potentially easier thing to do would be create a bookmarklet that adds the current page to YaCy.

> It is possible (and IMO very likely) that this aircraft is fundamentally unsound, by design

"Fundamentally unsound" seems like a subjective judgement in an area that clearly requires numbers.

Wikipedia tells me there are 1445 of these planes in the air each flying, what, 3000 miles a day on average? The existing accident statistics would argue strongly that this plane is "safe" in an absolute context, even if it's clearly "more dangerous" than other models. The big reason people are so upset about this is that it's a safety outlier in an industry that has been extremely safe, and getting inexorably more so, over the last half century.
Bikes need a network, not just lanes. Also many bike lanes just randomly end, aren't protected/separated properly, etc.
Sure. If you’re going through the trouble of containerizing your program and then compiling it into an executable, then you might as well just compile your program to an executable directly to begin with. Also, a system-specific executable is literally the antithesis of containerization. I know that over the years the programming landscape has evolved to the point that Docker has become yet another commonplace tool that newer devs don’t think much about and just see as a means of distributing code, and to be fair not a lot of people really groked it in the early days either, but this is truly unnecessary.
I am an engineer at LinkedIn and have been here for a long time. Haven't worked with CK and work on areas unrelated to Finger Gun project. But I agree with the general sentiment of feeling frustrated. Everything is now happening top-down. Execs want AI thrown everywhere even where things don't make sense. Engineers don't have the room to give feedback that they used to. Leaders want everything delivered asap. We are creating lot of tech debt every day and not maintaining any balance between speed and quality. Features are being implemented with missing edge cases and they say we will fix it later but no one has time or motivation to fix it. The execs only know we launched a feature, nobody tells them that the feature is too broken to actually be usable. There's a lot of fear of being managed out for performance so people are sucking it up and implementing what is asked with urgency. No one has time or motivation to fix bugs or clean up the code.
Yes, but generally this seems to be close to the cause of why this became a problem (that is, bad documentation may be why the bolts were not replaced to begin with). The anonymous, ostensibly internal whistleblowycomplainers said this was a process-documentation problem a while ago, before the NTSB looked into this exact problem.
This makes no sense.

AI is much better suited to writing tests and all the other busywork around preparing software for release.

And let's say something doesn't work correctly - who's going to go in and wade through AI's code to find and fix the problem? Another AI could assist no doubt, but you really need someone who can grasp software innards.
> Are you offended that Photoshop won't let you edit images of money too?

You bet. It's my computer. If I tell it to edit a picture of money, that's exactly what I expect it to do. I couldn't care less what the creators think or what the governments allow. The goddamn audacity of these people to tell me what I can or can't do with my computer. I'm actually quite prone to reverse engineering such programs just to take my control back.
No, they'd still be sociopathic. They'd do the absolute minimum they have to do under the law, and no more than that - exactly as a sociopath would if watched by someone with the ability to hurt them.

Conscience is fundamentally a trait that requires some kind of physical personhood - an actual self-identity with empathy attached to it. Corporations, being pure legal fiction, have neither.

This is why it is imperative to keep them as small and toothless as we possibly can as a society, even beyond issues with monopolies.

amortized push: a fundamental data structure, the vector, is a growable array of elements. The standard name for the function that appends an element at the end of the array is "push". You push to the array.

A vector points to an allocated portion of memory. When full, a new one; usually double the size; is allocated, everything copied over, and the original allocation is discarded.

Therefore the cost of memory allocation and copy is amortized over many pushs.

It's not even that, if I was Apple I wouldn't want to have them as a customer simply to deny them standing for their constant lawsuits. If the two companies have absolutely no business relationship at all, ties completely severed then it's a lot harder to demonstrate harm. All you could really sue about is that they won't do business with you.

I'm actually surprised it's not SOP to stop doing business with people who sue you after the lawsuit ends. I mean you took the nuclear option.
