And how will you measure that ROI? Over what timescale?

If the potential value of someting is saving/preventing future costs that thus would not occur, was that real or not?

ROI is an external viewpoint on a blackbox investment at a point in time. At best it is a speculation based on assumptions and beliefs when discussing the future.

What is the ROI of seatbelts and airbags in your car? 0 right up to the point where you get into an accident.
Ahh, thanks, I didn't know about the ramdisk. Very interesting about I/O not being the bottleneck, though.
You must understand, any argument you make will be viewed through an emotional lens, Milei is very pro-Israel (strike #1), anti-big government (strike #2) and has been vilified in American media as “Trump For Argentina”(strike #3). All discussion here and really anywhere online will be viewed through orange tinted glasses, it doesn’t matter how many logical arguments you make, he’s evil bec they’ve been told he’s evil. There is nothing intelligent or rational you can say that overcomes that programming. It’s almost not worth engaging because you’ll go in circles and those who disagree with you won’t ever make any actual logical arguments, it will always be appeals to emotion.
That game engine was over 3 decades ago! John is one of the sharpest minds I've ever seen, if he's passionate on AGI, he surely has much deeper understanding what he's doing than the AI trendies on social media.
Your car will most likely have an explosive charge inside the steering wheel that quickly inflates a cloth bag with air to cushion your head and prevent it from smacking hard against the steering wheel. They're called "airbags".
The modern car itself, and several of its safety features, act as a fairly effective "helment".

In San Francisco (and I assume many other places) the parking enforcement cops ride these little things called "interceptors"[0]. They're little more than 3-wheel motorcycles with a body around them. They don't really have much in the way of safety features, so the drivers wear bike helmets.

It's about gauging risk and determining what's likely to help. I would bet that if everyone wore helmets in cars, it wouldn't change injury/fatality stats a meaningful amount, beyond what seatbelts, airbags, etc. already do. But for bicycles (and perhaps these "interceptors", they perhaps do make a difference.

I’m envy? I’m hoping for a native GUI application for Linux.

Electron looks ugly, it doesn’t integrate, fails to handle HiDPI usually, in best case it eats a ridiculous amount of memory (factor 5x compared to native) and in worst case it has security issues due to Blink and lot of JS.

Electron is Flash for the Desktop.
I'm not Amish, but e-bikes actually make a lot more sense if you understand why the Amish rejected electricity in the first place. It's because, up until very recently, the only practical way to actually obtain and use electricity is to have your house wired up to an electrical grid that delivers on-demand power supplied elsewhere. This is a no-go for a religious community that views decentralization as the only path to holiness.

Remember: the Amish don't hate new technology because it's technology and they want to live in a fantasy world. They hate technology because it's a centralizing force.

What changed? Simple: solar. Solar is (mostly) decentralized electricity: once you buy solar panels you are dependent only on the continued existence of the sun for power. This actually fits into the Amish lifestyle extremely well for the same reason why it fits into the lifestyle of Nigerian Youtuber Africa Everyday, for entirely coincidental reasons[0].

[0] Most Nigerians would jump at the chance to have reliable centralized electrical infrastructure. The Amish are energy poor by choice.

> Which is contrasted with strict Jewish communities that take the opposite stance — the letter is what matters and there's a certain joy in finding loopholes.

I think there is still something in common with the Amish approach, in that whether a theoretically possible loophole is allowed in practice often comes down to rabbinical judgement over what the practical consequences would be.

And, just like different Amish groups have different rules, different subgroups within Orthodox Judaism differ over the set of "loopholes" permitted – e.g. some Hasidic dynasties are much stricter about certain areas of halacha than others

Ah I see, I'm working a bit further up the stack from you so the JS runtime handles making the transfer encoding of the response more or less irrelevant, for any response with any encoding you can access `response.text()` and get the entire contents when they're ready, or do something like `for await (const chunk of response.body) { ... }` to work with the pieces as they roll in.

I don't think so... I don't really want anything! Just a GUI that displays existing HTTP chunked responses as they come.

That's perhaps an exaggeration, but in general the speed and "smartness" of the model are inversely correlated.
I think it would work if that was the only code in the loop. But the loop spans several more nontrivial operations, including hashtable insertion.

> […] what the special 0-byte object refers to. It represents an empty folder.

Alas, no. It represents a tag, e.g. «folder/», that points to a zero byte object.

You can then upload two files, e.g. «folder/file1.txt» and «folder/file2.txt», delete the «folder/», being a tag, and still have the «folder/file1.txt» and «folder/file2.txt» file intact in the S3 bucket.

Deleting «folder/» in a traditional file system, on the other hand, will also delete «file1.txt» and «file2.txt» in it.
> The problem for them (and which I think a great many people would agree) is when technology ceases to serve us and we (society) become indentured to the technology.

This is a very good book on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technopoly.

It has three kinds of relationships a culture can have to technology:

tool-using culture: the culture is dominant, tools are used to solve problems and are sued to serve the culture, not attack it.

technocracy: tools attack and change the culture, but the culture still has some force to it.

technopoly: the tools are dominant, and all of culture and humanity must submit to them and their needs. A "totalitarian technocracy."

The Amish are a tool-using culture. General western society is a technocracy or technopoly.

Something impactful like AI shouldn't be a technology dominated by a single entity. That can only have bad outcomes. I hope OpenAI will fail, but I hope they'll fail because people wake up and realize it's not a good thing to have a limited group of people that has so much power.

And then I hope people will invest in a truly open technology that truly benefits everyone.

FFS they are not. They're an encoding of some the behavior and assumptions of a particular culture. That is almost certainly your culture, you HN commenter, but being embedded in it makes it hard to see it for what it is.
It's easy to ridicule the Amish for their lifestyle and their roundabout solutions to the restrictions ordained by their faith, similar to some orthodox Jewish traditions. But I think there is also something honest about it. No one can lead a 100% rational life; indeed it is not obvious that would even be desirable, that it makes sense or is even possible. Effective altruism is a good example on how mislead such a notion can become. Of course one can argue about what constitutes rationality, adopt a more balanced consequentialism and avoid some of the more absurd conclusions. Anyway, I find something sympathetic about just facing some impracticalities head on.

Smashing looms was their tactic, not their goal.

Their actual goal was to own the looms (to the exclusion of the factory owners). The original Parliamentary compromise regarding the introduction of looms was that skilled weavers would get first dibs on using them. A bunch of factory owners said "Fuck that" and just started using them anyway. Parliament not only didn't punish them for breaking the law, they passed even more laws to criminalize machine breaking on pain of death so that the Luddites couldn't protest anymore. Then they made up a story about them irrationally hating machines so they could paint organized labor as regressive.

The Amish reject technology that ties them into a centralized society because they think decentralized, off-the-grid living makes you closer to God. The Luddites did not reject technology, they destroyed it as a tactic to bring capital back to the negotiating table. They're closer to the artists naming-and-shaming AI art users: few if any of them are Dunepilled[0] enough to actually want, say, a ban on computer programs that create art. What they want is protection against being economically replaced.

The more I learn about how fragile our modern IT infrastructure and economy is, it seems the Amish are building a more robust society. Maybe they'll inherit the earth after our horrendously complex web of dependencies is destroyed by war or by accident.

I hope most Amish communities can avoid the following:

1. Off-grid solar systems that eventually shutdown if they lose network connectivity.

2. Tractors and other agricultural equipment connected to the internet, likely susceptible to remote security vulnerabilities that could threaten the harvest.

3. Complex supply chains that require cloud services and network connectivity to function.
> I’d lose my vouch privileges

Huh. Am I to understand there's a mechanism by which someone's ability to vouch can be removed on HN outside of egregious circumstances?

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
> The "simple" in S3 is a misnomer. S3 is not actually simple. It's deep.

Simple doesn't mean "not deep". It means having the fewest parts needed in order to accomplish your requirements.

If you require a distributed, centralized, replicated, high-availability, high-durability, high-bandwidth, low-latency, strongly-consistent, synchronous, scalable object store with HTTP REST API, you can't get much simpler than S3. Lots of features have been added to AWS S3 over the years, but the basic operation has remained the same.
Users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things. In this case the article is rather short, and is about a study that hasn't been published yet. Perhaps they felt it wasn't substantive enough? or perhaps they object to scientific studies being preceded by press releases? It does seem odd to see an article like this without a link to the paper because the paper hasn't been published yet.

What I found interesting was the jump (in Lancaster County, at least) directly from push scooters to e-bikes. Like, presumably there was a reason why regular manual bicycles weren't allowed. But e-bikes came along, and then they decided they were ok.

I get that these sorts of determinations aren't a science, and they do their best to evaluate technology based on the impact to their community, culture, and values, but it surprised me to learn that some communities that are adopting e-bikes largely limited themselves to push scooters before that.

Unless I misunderstood that part of the article (or the article just got it wrong).

Directories actually exist on the filesystem, which is why you have to create them before use and they can exist and be empty. They don't exist in S3 and neither of those properties do, either. Similarly, common filesystem operations on directories (like efficiently renaming them, and thus the files under them) are not possible in S3.

Of course it can still be useful to group objects in the S3 UI, but it would probably be better to use some kind of prefix-centric UI rather than reusing the folder metaphor when it doesn't match the paradigm people are used to.
I don't think that you get how revolutionary this is. It has the potential to wholly take over all clothing production, for the sole reason that it can be fully automated.

> The moment men learned to make fire, be sure there was some guy there that put everything to the fire to see what happened.
Well, yes. How else would you deal with people who abuse the vouch system? And there’s no way to distinguish between someone egregiously abusing the vouch system vs someone whose idea of what should be vouched differs enormously from what the mods want to see.

Here’s how I’ve come to feel about it: the mods run the site. The site has to be run. It can’t be left to the community, because the community makes bad decisions, where "bad" means "drives intellectually curious people away from the site". Therefore, the way to get a lot of HN privileges is to create a lot of content that the mods want to see. The converse is also true; do things they don’t like, and you’ll swiftly find your privileges revoked.

In many ways, it’s a proof by contradiction: it proves that centralized moderation is a strong asset, which contradicts Reddit’s philosophy of "if you don’t like it, you can go elsewhere." There’s nowhere else to go. And — fortunately or unfortunately — that’s a feature which keeps this community unified, for almost two decades.

Like many things in the art world, there’s a whole lot of hot air being moved about in this story.

Like you, I don’t follow the logical leap that would force Pest Control to reveal Banksy’s real name just because they’re not authenticating a specific print of a work.

Then there’s also an out-of-left-field slam about how the valuation of some Banksy pieces has dropped tenfold in the last few years, almost hinting at the fact that it’s somehow Banksy or Pest Control’s fault? I’m sure inflation, Brexit and the pandemic had nothing to do with the devaluation of massively overpriced art in the first place.
One difference is that you are specifically creating distributed systems middleware, where your audience is going to be using your product in the implementation of a system of their own, and is more likely to understand the terminology and wish to know the exact guarantees and trade-offs being provided.

I find both those comparisons are apples to oranges:

1. Temporal does not claim, on that page, to be able to automatically make your calls idempotent. Instead, it is explaining how you - as the user - can and should write your activities to be idempotent. Take the payment code snippet: you can't just wrap `ExternalPaymentAPI.Process(paymentId, amount)` in an idempotency provider. You have to implement specific idempotency logic inside the activity. This is in line with the distributed systems theory of idempotency.

2. In these docs, Stripe describes an interface for achieving idempotency as an external caller. Since Stripe control the implementation of their own system, it is certainly possible that they have implemented their operations in a way that is truly idempotent. What your docs describe - the ability to make arbitrary operations idempotent by wrapping them - is simply not possible.

I wonder whether you're focusing on the idempotency key as the thing that is wrong here. There is nothing wrong with idempotency keys themselves - they are a great way for APIs to provide idempotency. The problem is that this guarantee can't be provided by a wrapper layer, it requires the operation itself to be written in an idempotent way. This is an example of the age old "end-to-end principle" from networks class.

I'm sure he'll be successful on lowering inflation for a while. I just think his way of stopping it is short-term and it won't be enough to pave the way for a prosperous Argentinean economy.

To me, the private sector, the health of long running companies (and of course human lives) is a more logical argument than any loose analogy about being drunk or going on a diet that depict nothing on the actual real-life impact of any economic policy.

I didn't even mention good or evil. I mentioned that messing with your domestic industry almost never fares well for your country.

And, about Trump. They both have in common that they have special persionalities and both spend a lot of time on Twitter. But that's it. Regarding economic policies, Trump is a proteccionist and Milei is an anarchocapitalist.
