>As DuckDB’s manifesto “Big Data is Dead” suggests, the era of big data is over.

I have been stating this since at least 2020 if not earlier.

We are expecting DDR6 and PCI-E 7.0 Spec to be finalised by 2025. You could expect them to be on market by no later than 2027. Although I believe we have reach the SSD IOPS limits without some special SSD with Z-NAND. I assume ( I could be wrong ) this makes SSD bandwidth on Server less important. In terms of TSMC Roadmap that is about 1.4nm or 14A. Although in server sector they will likely be on 2nm. Hopefully we should have 800Gbps Ethernet by then with ConnectX Card support. ( I want to see the Netflix FreeBSD serving 1.6Tbps update )

We then have software and DB that is faster and simpler to scale. What used to be a huge cluster of computer that is mentally hard to comprehend, is now just a single computer or a few larger server doing its job.

There is 802.3dj 1.6Tbps Ethernet looking at competition on 2026. Although product coming through to market tends to take much longer compared to Memory and PCI-Express.

AMD Zen6C in ~2025 / 2026 with 256 Core per Socket, on Dual Socket System that is 512 Core or 1024 vCPU / Thread.

The future is exciting.

Well chuffed. I couldn't get ops pkg push to work at all, and instead had to manually upload a tar.gz as no matter what I did, it wouldn't find my local image (though it would find it if I did ops pkg load -l nano-web_0.0.1).

The purpose of a dead-man switch is that an action automatically happens, if a person cannot trigger that action themselves anymore. This is not required in any kind of normal captivity, where the captured still can talk to lawyers and other visitors. So, frankly, if Assange is not using the leverage (using in the sense of using it as a threat) my best explanation so far is that he does not have any (at least not anything substantial enough). But I am open to be convinced otherwise.
A quick search and yea the guy looks as slimy as he sounds.

There is important missing context from this extremely biased article that leans heavily on the opinion of an anonymous person. It has always been illegal to serve in a foreign armed force for South Africans. I forget the name of the act, but this isn't new legislation, it is enforcing existing legislation.
What's a contract? What's trust, or conspiracy? What's trade, or commerce, or a foreign nation? What does "declared" mean?

Kids, who as a category have no income, have a Hobson's Choice: eat or go hungry.

The UK also has (or recently had, I no longer follow news from there) a significant poverty rate such that lunch was some school kids' first meal of the day, and free school meals was a significant political issue.

I get a fucking SMS from Vodafone every day reminding me to complete some fucking survey. I even sent STOP back to the automated phone number they use, as it's specified if I don't wanna receive such messages anymore and I still receive them.

At least with Google you're using it for free. I'm f*ink paying for that Vodafone service and they still consider appropriate to spam me incessantly.

I could report the fuckers to https://anpc.ro/ but it's too much trouble on my side following up and they probably know it.

So, this happened somewhere I worked, and I disagreed with it too, but it happened because the time consuming processes were taking months for basic things from the wildly unreasonable and unqualified 'devops' guy who had a lock on the whole system.

What made a difference was getting people in my team to stop doing it, and making it clear when things were requested and timescales and why we were not able to do it. When deadlines started getting missed, the guy got put under a lot of pressure to change the processes, and eventually the business hired someone that ultimately diminished the original guy's role.

Ask HN: Tell me how you determine context
Most tech needs context.

People that write technical books, blogs, articles seldom share in what context something is written.

Most tech needs context.

When someone says "you can use this and that" where is the context coming from ? How does one know the context based on what someone says about their own context ?

The reason I am raising this question is because during the last 10 years I have been growing tremendously tired of the monologue of our field and the herd of people that follow monologues like it's truth-telling.

AI is great example.
Cloud was a great example.
Platform Teams is another.
Etc.

Without understanding context for circumstances what you get is at best a good guess. Nothing can be magically applied to anything and out of that same magic no good results will ever come.

How do you determine context ?
I find that uBlock origin also improves things a bit, though it won't do much more than hide the notices.

Many furniture stores have a section with old timey stuff, I guess targeted at the 60+ market: ruffles and pleats and doily type shit. You can't expect anyone younger than a mummy to be enthused about buying that stuff new, whether or not it is better quality, and it's probably all the same cheap crap under the ruffles.
Most people probably clicked this because the thought "Context...must be AI". Bogus!
> For a photographer in question an "expensive court battle" is an obstacle just the same and I have nothing against a lawyer who makes a living out of cases like this.

That this is an obstacle for the photographer is exactly the issue. The scale is required in order for it to become a "practice area" (as opposed to e.g. a pro bono case taken on the side), and the shady practices come with the scale.

I gave up on these garbage fast-food chains after the 2022 inflation skyrocket. A decent burger at McDs or BK in Europe today is now about 9 Euros, closer to gourmet burger prices at fancy local burger joints with red brick walls where the waiters have lumberjack shirts, beards and man-buns.

But 9 Euros for McDs/BK is taking the mickey considering it's just some sorry-ass excuse for a burger, thrown together in a pinch from the cheapest possible ingredients, into a paper bag, in a loud, crowded, dirty joint, employing lowly paid migrants from the job center. It was convenient in the days when it was still cheap, but now it's just overpriced slop.

If I want cheap fast food I get a Döner Kebab for 4 Euros, and this way I'm also supporting a local business not the fat margins of off-shore shareholders.
Could you though? Once you have a good image if it isn't copyrighted it sounds like any licencing agreement is void. You could just distribute not under terms of the license, but as a public domain images.
I experimented a little with NanoVMs. I wanted to deploy them in AWS ARM64 instances to test if it was possible. It took a bit of effort, but I think it's worth it.

There is something nice about them as your mental map is reduced to the minimum amount of components, your app - amalgamated with the unikernel - and the virtualization platform of your choice.

I need to test support for volumes, and if there is interest I might do a write-up about it.
Quite interesting what can be achieved by combining a bit of engineering with nature, vs just manufacturing drugs.

oh nice, I was actually wondering what was the quickest way to build a meteor.js app (which is mostly a single threaded process).

My 2 cents: I had to scroll down all the way to find out where the "CPU speed" comes from... And I'd still like to know about the "avg" part, so you may want have a more detailed "Method" section (before the results) ;)
Actually, the most important and essential tools in open source EDA are fundamentally being developed in Europe (e.g. klayout (Munich), yosys (Vienna), nextpnr (Vienna/Heidelberg), ngspice (Duisburg)). Without them openroad wouldn't even exist. When it comes to open source PDK, one of the few existing ones is being developed since almost two years at the IHP in Germany. An ongoing funding call that you might not be aware of (https://www.bmbf.de/bmbf/shareddocs/bekanntmachungen/de/2023...) will host a number of additional projects that will start in May this year. Good projects are constantly being developed also within https://nlnet.nl/ for example.

I'd say the classic divide here is not a lack of development or funding but a lack of advertisement and swag on the European side -- as always.
The wonders of mass centralisation of systems. yay ;P
Think this comment is a bit too naive on the western side.

There are some high profile cases were the west (or the deep state) very clearly went "full Russian" on some figures to send a "don't mess with us" message.

David Kelly and Epstein come to mind. As also noted in this thread Assange is arguably being given a fate worse than death, rotting in a dungeon an example to terrify whistleblowers around the world.

More agreement! Ikea 20 years was twice the material you get today. Products could be taken apart and put back together multiple times. Not so today. Put together once, modify it if you want it to stay like that and if you really have to move it cross your fingers!
There's another "easy" answer: friends and family of the deceased make up these claims, because they want to ensure a thorough investigation of any potential homicide to put their suspicions to rest and so make it look as suspicious and scandalous as possible in the public eye.

Not saying that's what happened here, of course.
thanks for reminding me.

It goes back to neutral in some cars? That sounds like a "shift by wire" thing, as usually the shift stick directly changes gears, and thus stays where it is. I've never seen it go back.
Not to me. Sounds like hope as a strategy to me.
On the other hand I bought the current sofa some 20 years ago for about 600 Euro and it is still performing like day one. Probably a design failure. ;)

It's the first solid thing our kid ate, and he loved them. I guess it also depends on when they are exposed to that. If they are 5 years old, it's probably too late.
Yeah, that was me. Thought HN wouldn't have heard of it and would find it interesting.
Stamper signs and automatically publishes hashes of its history. It is a "block chain" in that sense: If Richardson decided to use the keys to backdate something to two years ago, he would have to fake two years of history, and risk being exposed if even one person came forward with a hash he'd signed contradicting his new fake history.

That is presumably one of the reasons that hasn't happened in the roughly 30 years the service has been ticking along.
I can't read Romanian, but many years ago I reported a pizza restaurant to the British equivalent for a similar problem — I was being sent texts every day, and STOP and replying hadn't stopped the messages.

They wrote to the restaurant, the texts stopped, and I had a follow-up email from the data protection agency.

Considering South Africa is strutting about in the ICJ, a body with no enforcement power whatsoever, claiming Israel is committing genocide, and yet has imposed no financial or even diplomatic sanctions on Israel, yes. Yes it is.

It’s the ANC whose corruption lately has been bleeding the country dry (quite literally…clean public water is fast becoming a scarce commodity in South Africa) and is leading to significant loss of support, trying to remind the public of the good old days when they fought actual apartheid.

"Formal equivalence" does not have any causal significance.

> They don't have the same macroscopic properties

Exactly... see the above...

Whenever you taalk about "formal" equivalece you mean: ignoring the causal semantics for the formula describing the system.

"2 + 2 = 4" is eqv. to "2 + 2 = 4" even when talking about wars, people, cars, animals, ... sand, cells, brains, bodies...

NO, obvious not. This isnt hard, this is obvious.

It requires some extraordinary magical thinking to suppose that field configurations of sand are equivalent to arbitary systems... this is obvious nonesense

>Moral grandstanding won't change the fact that civilization is rather thinly veiling the violent ape in most of us

I don’t think civilization is a panacea here.

To my mind, civilization is not exactly a strict synonym of peaceful generous enlightened humanism. Of course as a phenomenon it can encompass this kind of behavior, but just as well as it can help foster genocides, war and torture.

Holocaust didn’t happen despite civilized minds, it happened specifically through a civilizational scheme.
It's naive to suggest limiting the number of permits given per year. On one hand it's a major source of income to both the Nepali government and the local economy. On the other hand, the folks with the most money will still get the permits and the mountaineers will not, thereby increasing the chance of accidents.
> Still, why, you might ask, do I think the Chinese government actually controls TikTok? Well for one thing, the Chinese government says it will not allow a divestment of the American branch of TikTok. And that doesn’t make sense unless the Chinese government exercises some level of control over the video sharing service. So I think we have to assume it does. There’s also a really easy test of whether there’s bad intent vis-a-vis TikTok. Just pass this bill. If the Chinese government is willing to torch hundreds of billions of dollars to thwart a divestment of TikTok, then clearly it wants to control TikTok for non-monetary reasons.

You may as well argue that Grindr is "actually controlled" by the USG because CFIUS stepped in to block its sale post-closing.

And having leverage over an company is not the same as controlling it. Else we'd have to conclude that ASML is "actually controlled" by the USG because USG can use its leverage over ASML to dictate whom it can sell its products to.

A big yes for Terry Pratchett!

It can easily be read as funny little books following the sagas of recuring (anti)heroes. But the light-hearted stories belie a sharp-eyed critique of society, with the most well known example probably being Vimes' Boot theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Often, the subtility is hidden in a word or a choice of words that can easily go unnoticed, but are all small hints of the vast pluridisciplinary depth of knowledge of the author. The esoteric, historical, literary and physical sciences references (to name just them), are delightful small winks to the reader sprinkled throughout the books.
This is terrific. Thanks so much.
