Are they the ones saying everything sucks and nothing is possible?
The video is surreal, it looks like it barely bumps the bridge and 2 seconds later the entire thing is gone. I don't know what I was expecting, the bridge just looked extremely fragile, makes me wonder what other bridges are at risk of an event like this.
Without speaking to merits, the entire point of this law is to reduce usage by minors. So being able to do less without an account is a feature through this lens.

> The fees could be near zero and they would still cover the actual costs of running the infrastructure.

I believe the infra is cheap while fraud is expensive.
"Homelessness jumped substantially" is not "Housing became cheaper and affordable". It was all state owned lol, what does affordability even mean in that context? I'm just saying they built more housing than they needed and housed everyone and that was good. The Soviet economy itself was fucked (20% of gdp on defense spending!), and after the collapse housing did obviously become more expensive (ie, not free).
If they can't use the command line they suck. period.
Well, different climates have different building requirements and materials. Plus, a cathedral isn't meant for living in.

I think you'd find that feeling walking the old market streets, covered by cloths to block most of the sun, bees buzzing around the honey vendor, people bustling by. I can't find the perfect picture, but https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M-g876LtXFs/maxresdefault.jpg isn't bad. That one's a little more tourist-focused and lacking in crowds than the exact street I'm remembering.

The problem is with steering. The rudder on a ship this big is going to be wall of steel several stories tall with gears as big as car.

Warships have several independent backup steering options reducing finally to a worm gear at the top of the shaft with a winch handle big enough to put a gang of men on it. But ships like this will have none of that. They will have a small wheel or joystick on the bridge and if power goes out the rudder will definitely stay in the last commanded position until power is restored. Even if they had auxiliary steering they would not have the crew to man those positions.

This ship would have alternate diesel power plants called "mules" (think APUs on aircraft). It's possible that when the lights came back on that was because they got a mule started.

But really if we don't want accidents like this to happen the ship should have redundancy. A 10,000 TEU container ship is one of the largest and heaviest moving structures ever created by man. Why is it acceptable that it is driven by exactly one engine powering one screw in front of one rudder?

By the way a ship this big with only one screw is very difficult to maneuver at slow speeds. They pretty much have to be going at least 14-15knots to have any rudder authority.
For the last three years, I've been working on https://onlineornot.com

It's uptime monitoring (and status pages) for software teams.

In my words, the aim is "monitoring that doesn't suck" - I've worked at companies with proactive monitoring like OnlineOrNot before, and was surprised how little the incumbents are innovating in the space. One customer once told me "f*k <vendor>, all their system ever did was alert us when we weren't down".

I'm currently working on a self-documenting (OpenAPI, rolled it myself: https://developers.onlineornot.com/) API that'll let folks use terraform (or even just the API itself) to setup their uptime checks, cron job monitoring, status pages, even their teams.

Insurers (and Robbers, Safe Companies, Employees graft, Banks)

If you had as much cash in the till as required to do business in the 90s; or took checks; or had employees that had to do regular bank runs; to insure against the loss via employees, robbers, etc it would cost a significant amount of each transaction to insure that, especially the liabilities of it.

Not really a feature.

Also it has very little implemented right now. Kind of disappointing when I clicked through hoping to find a gimp alternative.
Any chance of adding documentation for running it locally? venv / requirements.txt at the very least, or a docker image?
I agree that, in general, you don't need an engineer to manage engineers. However, management is the one that sets priorities, and I can see an argument that in order for Boeing to get back to being an organization that values solid engineering practices, having an engineer in management could be of great value.

Hey, this is a good comment. I've only toyed with ML stuff, but I've done a lot with GPUs. I hope you can find my "step back" perspective as valuable I find your up close one.

My chief mistake in the above comment was using "TPU", as that's Google's branding. I probably should've used "AI focused co-processor". I'm not talking exclusively about Google's foray into the space, especially as I haven't used TPUs.

My list of things to ditch on GPUs doesn't include cores. My point there is that there's a bunch of components that are needed for graphics programming that are entirely pointless for AI workloads, both inside the core's ALU and as larger board components. The hardware components needed for AI seem relatively well understood at this point (though that's possible to change with some other innovation).

Put another way, my point is this: Historically, the high end GPU market was mostly limited to scientific computing, enthusiast gaming, and some varied professional workloads. Nvidia has long been king here, but with relatively little attempt by others at competition. ML was added to that list in the last decade, but with some few exceptions (Google's TPU), the people who could move into the space haven't. Then chatGPT happened, investment in AI has gone crazy, and suddenly Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies in the world.

However, The list of companies who have proven they can make all the essential components (in my list in the grandparent) isn't large, but it's also not just Nvidia. Basically every computing device with a screen has some measure of GPU components, and now everyone is paying attention to AI. So I think within a few years Nvidia's market leadership will be challenged, and they certainly won't be the only supplier of top of the line AI co-processors by the end of the decade. Whether first mover advantage will keep them in first place, time will tell.

The constitution does not actually give you any right to the pursuit of happiness.

The declaration of independence was a breakup letter, not a legal document.

If you wanted to murder someone in the "pursuit of happiness", that would be still be a crime. Driving is a privilege and you have zero inherent right to it.

ML doesn't just work on GPUs. It's not uncommon to have architectures where GPUs don't really work, we just tend not to use those :)

A QR code is nothing more than an encoded string of text.

I would expect that if there was a "scan this QR code to pay" system, that the app you're using to pay would show you the amount about to be charged and that you would have to approve it.

I don't see anything wrong with it.
The laptops with ECC memory are expensive and they are available for now only with Intel CPUs (while it should be possible to use mobile AMD CPUs I have never seen any such product). They are sold as "mobile workstations" by Dell, Lenovo and HP. I have a Dell Precision mobile workstation laptop with ECC memory bought in 2016 and it still works fine. However I had to pay for it EUR 3000 in 2016 and now something similar would be even more expensive (it had an NVIDIA Quadro GPU and 32 GB of ECC memory).

For desktops it is much easier to choose ECC memory, because the additional cost (the cost of the memory modules is 50% higher for DDR5-4800) remains a small fraction of the cost of an entire computer.

What is needed is to buy a motherboard with ECC support.

An example of a good motherboard with ECC support is ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI (for AMD Ryzen). I have been using a similar ASUS motherboard with ECC memory from the previous X570 generation for the last 5 years and it still works fine.

There are several other such MBs, mainly at ASUS and ASRock.

For Intel Raptor Lake there are fewer and more expensive such motherboards, but they can be found at ASUS (Pro WS W680M-ACE SE) and at Supermicro, as "workstation motherboards".
> We're discarding quality in pursuit of scale.

Actually, we have been discarding non-free for free. We only look for free; quality is not a target.
The two piano examples where the second one has the phase randomized is also an excellent example of why allpass filters, which change the phase but not amplitude of all frequencies, are a building block for digital reverbs. The second piano example with the randomized phases sounds more blurred out and almost reverb-y.

> it's slower or more expensive or both compared to the equivalent-capacity non-ECC memory

How much of that is it being actually slower and how much is it just ECC memory not being sold at pre-overclocked speeds?
It's still a shame that Excel's JSON support is so good, but no business user trusts it because "you can't double click the files" and CSV remains the worst best thing you can double click.

I don't want Excel to take over the file association for .json but I do sometimes wish Excel would just invent a file extension like .xljson that loads JSON so that at least you could trivially rename a JSON file to .xljson and get working double-click for your business users but a file format (with optional schema support even) that's a more modern and saner de facto standard than CSV.

I think that one dumb trick would improve everyone's productivity a great deal.

Heh! OK, so I'm wrong about being able to sail a container ship under the Iron Bridge.

It didn't take motor traffic, because when it was built, there was no motor traffic. But the claim I replied to was about all bridges. But it used to take vehicle traffic: the WP article says "In 1934 it was designated a scheduled monument and closed to vehicular traffic."
You are free to attempt to enforce a price-of-admission to comment.

I attempt to use the up/down vote to filter rather than reproach. I feel it's more in the spirit of HN.

If he's being truthful about his own net worth, and it is 5.8 million dollars plus, it's statistically highly unlikely that even one of his friends from the ghetto also has a net worth of 5.8 million dollars plus. These are difficult things to do. So the idea that an entire group of impoverished kids, all from the same ghetto neighborhood, each, independently, amassed that net worth? Yeah, that would require the evidence and data being presented for me to believe.

Even if it were true, I'd bet dollars to donuts that there was something different about the public school to which those kids were assigned. That's just way too high of a statistical variance to be, "Oh they just thought positively."
Advertising is a significant participant in modern Western culture, it (mostly) works, and the majority of people are susceptible to it with both good and bad outcomes. (I don't think this is a controversial statement, but I frequently see HNers making "well, I never look at ads" arguments to universally invalidate the effectiveness of advertising).
I'm working on https://quickchart.io/, a web API for generating chart images. I've expanded it to a WYSIWYG chart editor at https://quickchart.io/chart-maker/, which lets you create an endpoint that you can use to generate variations of custom charts. This is useful for creating charts quickly, or using them in places that don't support dynamic charting (email, SMS, various app plugins, etc).

I messed around with some AI features, mostly just for fun and to see if they could help users onboard. But the core product is decidedly not AI.
Wow, great information

Apparently (this is just via someone on Reddit who supposedly heard/read it somewhere) the ship mayday'd on losing power hoping the bridge could be cleared.

But why not (or did it?) also just blast its horn repeatedly, drawing attention so people on or near the bridge would notice it and realise something was wrong and perhaps even where it was headed?

I'm sure it's not allowed generally and not the protocol and whatever ... But it does seem like a common sense & do whatever you can sort of situation to me?
I'm working on Rolepad (https://rolepad.com), a tool that brings together candidates (job application management) and hiring managers / recruiters (better candidate experience). The candidate side is pretty decent at this point, working on the employer side now. The first capability this will unlock is keeping the status of the application in sync between the two, for greater transparency and hopefully reduced ghosting. I'm sure I'll eventually start sprinkling some AI in the app, but for now it's much more important to get basic functionality, user experience, and market fit right.
> Immigrants are often more educated than the native US born population

... and are usually unable to do anything with that education because most American employers (outside the very unusual field of software engineering) discount or ignore non-American degrees. An immigrant with an engineering or medical degree making a living by driving an Uber in America is a stereotype very much based in reality. I personally know people who fit that stereotype.
It's annoying, but at least there are free options. Here's one I've used many times:

Last I recall, 1% INCOME is about 700K per year household income (this maybe out of date by now) - a couple of professionals in their 40s in NYX (my peer group) who has some investments, pulls that in pretty consistently.

I'll make this point again. If in the 90s your parents made you take the hard math classes, try for the AP courses, try for the magnet school, try for a good college/major/scholarship, you're on track to earn 350K at baseline.

If this really bothers you, fine - let's talk top 10%. Going from broke-ass to top 10% is an impressive feat. top-10% is under 170K.
(Render CEO) As an engineer myself, I understand your frustration. Updating the status page automatically is a hard problem when the systems in question are distributed and complex. Perhaps we could post a generic 'something is wrong' message using the automated checks we have in place, and go from there.
If it’s a direct dependency, vendoring and then deleting everything you don’t use seems pretty reasonable? This is “a little copying is better than a little dependency.”

Make enough changes and it’s not vendoring anymore; you made the code your own.
Tugs to navigate would have prevented this incident.

This container ship ran out of power twice and lost navigational control, which resulted in loss of life and billions in civilian infrastructure.

Seems one cannot rely on container ships alone to navigate narrow passages safely.
I'm personally working on a specialized system monitor software to address deficiencies with a popular enterprise IWMS. It is aimed at companies that do not want to splurge for Splunk and require some specific system admin controls and metrics. There is a forwarder and backend API which will be completely self-hosted. I'm using this project to build some expertise in Go :)

The queen can move so many spaces because old castles had escape tunnels for the queen and her maides so they wouldnt get raped when the castle was stormed!

>flawed hydraulic analogies

I want to say that’s cool, avoid common pitfalls in explanations, but I want to to point out that all analogies fall short, otherwise they would be the same thing, and not an analogy.

That is, if the hydraulic analogy were perfect, then that would mean that electronics would just behave as a fluid and we could teach it an a part of fluid dynamics.

But instead it is an analogy, electronics is not a part of fluid dynamics, there’s just a few similarities that can be used for teaching.

It’s not unusual to teach an imperfect simplistic model at first that you intend to supplement later with more details that break the analogy.
