What is a Huberman and where is this alleged “hit piece”?

Seriously, I have no idea what y’all are talking about.
You're absolutely right. The fun thing is that I googled it and saw a couple of articles doing the comparison between both. And to be honest, that's why I used the "on-prem" shortcut most of the time.
I wish the SEC would clean house of all the congress members and senators, Democrat and Republican, around 75 to 97 at last count, who had bought or sold stock or bonds, or other financial assets related to their congressional work.

Cliff Stoll was an unwelcome demonstration that not all adults are as clueless as they appear to disaffected, smarter-than-thou teenagers.

Cliff showed that a smart adult with an outsized curiosity and more than a bit of persistence, could keep up -- and even marshal resources to reassert the dominance of order and adulthood.

This was a good lesson, at the right time, for many people!

Also, Cuckoo's Egg is an entertaining story. I read it again a few years ago, and I enjoyed it more this time than I did when it was published. :)

You can get a Bank Cheque!

I've purchased a car privately this way.

Although, very sensibly, the seller met us at his bank and paid the Cheque in to his account whilst we were there. Fake Bank Cheques are a thing.

I havent used a Cheque Book since the late 1990s. We used to order take-away food in London and then pay with a Cheque and Cheque Guarantee Card when the driver got to the door!

Which of course meant you could buy food on a Friday if you had no money and didnt get paid until Monday! LOL :-)

The original BNPL Scheme! ;-)

But yes, I dont think they issue Cheque Books here in AU anymore. And if they did, what would you even do with one!

Can you imagine trying to pay in a shop with one!
Show HN: Isolated microVM-based self-hosted GitHub runners
This project creates self-hosted (ephemeral) GitHub runners based on krunvm [1]. krunvm creates microVMs, so the project enables fully isolated runners inside your infrastruture. MicroVMs boot fast, providing an experience close to running containers. The project starts VMs based on the multi-platform OCI images that it creates -- ubuntu [2](default) or fedora [3]. The default is to create far-less capable runners than the GitHub runners, but most settings are similar to when running at GitHub: same user ID, member of the `docker` group, password-less `sudo`, etc. Since krunvm runs on MacOS, this should also run on MacOS -- although I haven't been able to test it: reports and/or PRs are welcome.

From my experience, stuff that needs serious synchronization does not care much about absolute time, and optimizes for very low relative offsets. Other stuff is OK with half-second or so in offset, and can tolerate much more.

If the students goofing off in the hall are willing to listen to the nerds who are hall monitors, then that school doesn't really have too much of an issue with delinquent students in the halls.

And in any case, the hall monitors are probably better off in class instead of being unpaid labor.

> They were a clever idea at the time, but they're hardly "lounges" these days. They're just buses, at a time when you really, really don't want to be taking a bus.

Primaries have a weird system based on delegates, not direct votes. It's really difficult to know who you're actually voting for, I couldn't find any information on which candidate the delegates on my ballot were actually for.
Yes. Writing CUDA that calls CuBLAS or CUB is still writing CUDA. Lots of kernels and functions (functors, etc) are "business requirements" moreso than math libraries. It's no different than the CPU code world, there are far more CRUD apps than BLAS libraries written, and writing a CRUD app that calls a BLAS library doesn't mean you're not "writing CPU code". Someone has to write those systems of linear equations for BLAS to solve.

The world is deeper than just assembly and BLAS tuning, and you can get extremely far in CUDA just by gluing together the primitives they give. Python is popular in the AI/ML space, but far from the only way to do that.

Genuine answer as a former New Yorker: No. You can get in and out more easily by transit than by car already. It's a luxury. Driving in Manhattan is already expensive many ways anyhow

- bridge/tunnel tolls to enter any way other than from the Bronx along slow inconvenient local streets

- parking costs a lot of money, or a lot of time and hassle (and in fact is prohibitive, like as in you won't find free parking even after circling for an hour, in much of manhattan for much of the day)

- if you're an average american driver from the suburbs or further afield, who is not used to big city driving, you will probably find it very stressful until you practice a lot

- opportunity cost: transit is already great, so there's no compelling reason usually

By convention, those three are the macronutrients. Dietary fibre is sometimes included, 100g of quorn mince has 7.5 g.

Misunderstanding about the details of how Apply Pay works
Someone who shows up frequently in my Twitter feed takes pictures of cars where they've put mud or leaves on the license plate to obscure the characters. Also they scrape paint off, put a Back the Blue sticker on one or two characters, use a reflective license plate cover, etc. Almost always there's something that identifies the driver as a city employee, often a police officer.

It would be interesting to know if they'll crack down on that behavior while fighting congestion.

This was a good read for the fundamentals, it's nicely opinionated and would get a lab of unix workstations running even today (if allowed substitutes like cvs->git.)

But what do you do if you have ~0 unix workstations? Mobile clients, BYOD, offsite IaaS/PaaS, PKI certs for an https-only world, 3rd party APIs, file share between windows/mac clients all make things more complex. Do you want your infra to retrieve packages over port 80 until you can setup the CA to get trusted 443? Do you want to keep API keys in git until you can setup the vault-server? Are there any services you should NEVER authenticate through Okta?

They claim they can't work any more, unless they get this one piece of crucial information from you. And your boss must ensure that you reply to them, when they need to. Ultimately, if done cleverly enough, you will look like a bad employee long term, unless you give in.

The people who say "you'll get fat again once you stop taking it" also baffle me.

The most difficult part of losing weight for me personally is changing my routine and habits. Setting myself up with a kitchen that's ready to cook. Figuring out what kind of meals I'm happy to have on a weeknight that don't require a lot of cooking. Preparing parts of meals over an hour or two on the weekend to complete some of the more time consuming parts when I'm not so constrained on time. Learning to deal with the urge I (used to) have to "eat my feelings".

All of those things don't just magically go away when you stop taking a GLP-1 agonist. Losing a lot of weight isn't just about self-control like if you're just trying to lose five pounds to make your pants more comfortable for going to your 20th high school reunion; you have to rewire your habits and mind and make a life long commitment to those changes.

Rewiring your habits and rewiring your brain are things that persist if your intention going into the weight loss was to change your habits instead of just moving the number on the scale. If you are looking to do it only temporarily and are unwilling to lock in those behavioral changes then you're likely going to fail, and that has much more to do with mindset than medication.

Fair enough. I also think London doesn't really have a culture of driving into it. I could drive into London but with the sprawl; likely inability to find suitable parking; traffic and congestion charge, I never would. It's quicker for me to get the train (living about 50mi West of London). Though trains are becoming more expensive and less reliable by the day.

Not surprising. YC founders are blessed creatures who are (or will be) indoctrinated into the Thiel Zero to One philosophy of building a monopoly. If the monopoly doesn't exist, why should they care ;)

OK all jokes aside, honestly two things at play:
(1) Impossible to keep tabs on the whole space all the time. No matter how hard you search, you always miss things.
(2) Some amount of (proper) competitive research is really good (for obvious reasons), but at the end of the day--you gotta get on with doing your user research/building/testing testing.

How the Big Bang got its name
Yeah, I was talking more in general as to what parent said suggesting good, battle-tested migration tools like Flyway. Declarative/imperative wasn't the focus.
In 2002 I wrote a Lisp program called Meta-CVS. It uses CVS to store files in a certain format, which allows versioning of the directory structure, symbolic links and permissions. As well, it has a "mcvs grab" command for importing snapshots of external code such that renames are identified. Plus it has merge automation with tracking. Plus interactive workflow when creating a repo, for identifying binary files and whatnot.

The support for renaming in Meta-CVS blows git out of the water (since that basically doesn't have any).

People continuing with CVS crazy not to be at least using Meta-CVS to make their lives easier.

I used Meta-CVS once to clean up a mess. In the company I was working on, my friend, a configuration manager, came to me with a problem: merging some large amount of Java cruft from a branch where the developers did various renames. Not just A to B renames, but cyclic renames A.java renamed to B.java, while B.java renamed to C.java, while C.java again renamed to A! (Would you believe it.) This had to be merged to the trunk.

I whipped out Meta-CVS for the task. "mcvs grab" easily identified the rotating renames and merged the content, which we were then able to check into the VC actually being used (might have been SVN).

I’m shocked by the amount of taxpayer money gone to waste. So many unsuccessful projects, the infamous incompetence of Big Tech looks like nothing compared to US military industrial complex’s.

So this was where all the surplus of Western civilization was going to for the last 3/4 of a century. Now the surplus is no more, and soon to turn negative as the critical resources and energy sources run out, I hope the US loses its global dominance as soon as possible. I’m sorry, but at no point in time have they been just rulers over planet Earth. Entire countries of mine have been demolished and entire populations have been killed/forced to migrate, so that you can buy the new Xbox to your child, and your neighbor can buy a new yacht.

> This is actually very easy. You can identity proof someone through Stripe Identity [1] for ~$2/transaction.

"Pay someone else to do it" is easy in the sense that doing the hard thing is now somebody else's problem, not in the sense that doing it is not hard. That also seems like a compliance service -- you are required to KYC, service provides box-checking for the regulatory requirement -- not something that can actually determine if someone is using a fraudulent ID, e.g. because they breached some DMV or some other company's servers and now have access to their customers' IDs.

> This is government's problem luckily, not that of private companies who would need to offer account identity bootstrapping.

But it's actually the user's problem if it means the government's system has poor security and allows someone else to gain access to their account.

> Based on the amount of crypto fraud that has occurred (~$72B and counting [2]), government identity web of trust is much more robust than "not your keys, not your crypto" and similar digital only primitives.

The vast majority of these are from custodial services, i.e. the things that don't keep the important keys in the hands of the users. Notably this number (which is global) is less than the losses from identity theft in the US alone.

The general problem also stems from "crypto transactions are irreversible" rather than "crypto transactions are secured by secrets". Systems with irreversible transactions are suitable for storing and transferring moderate amounts of value, as for example the amount of ordinary cash a person might keep in their wallet. People storing a hundred million dollars in a crypto wallet and not physically securing the keys like they're a hundred million dollars in gold bars are the fools from the saying about fools and their money.
