No, but I am currently in a startup that mainly uses DyanomoDB (similar to Mongo) with support from Elastic for more search-based queries. We've found DyanmoDB to be great and we don't feel hindered by the lack of relational-ness.

I will say in case anyone doesn't understand how this might be possible, relational querying is possible in document databases, but they essentially require just different ideas to achieve. In Dynamo, you might need to create secondary indices for example.

Personally I love Postgres and would not mind if we had gone that direction but the more I use DynamoDB the less I feel like Postgres is the "only way"
You may be arguing a different point now? Whether or not fines have been handed out would not be a reliable indicator of whether "the serious hams would report [an issue with an FM radio station] within hours".

I would expect that issues with FM stations' broadcasts would be very rare, and generally not receive a fine even if it was technically a fine-able offense. This seems like a situation where a ham would call it into the FM station and maybe into the FCC, the station would fix it, the FCC would call the station and just confirm that the station fixed it.

Obviously compiling for the target architecture is best, but for most software (things like crypto libraries excluded) 95% of the benefit of AVX2 is going to come from things like vectorized memcpy/memcmp. Building glibc using ifuncs to provide optimized implementations of these routines gives most users most of the benefit of AVX2 (or whatever other ISA extension) while still distributing binaries that work on older CPU microarchitectures.

I've analysed the backdoor myself and it's very sophisticated, not poorly made at all. The performance problem is surprising in this context, but I think next time they won't make that mistake.
Huh. That's rather surprising. Do you know how MX Linux handles systemd? Devuan does that shimming of upstream. Do they perhaps just try to leave out certain packages?

Anyway. I did not see lzma in the results on Devuan running a process check (just in case).
I did see it on a Debian.
I mean, a backdoor at this scale (particularly if it wasn't noticed for a while and got into stable distros) could be worth millions. Maybe hundreds of millions (think of the insider trading possibilities alone, not to mention espionage). 2 years doesn't seem like that much work relative to the potential pay off.

No, but famously early IBM clones had to do clean-room reverse engineering of bootloaders and other ancillary code to produce compatible designs.

Almost - In production models the engine does act like a series hybrid generator under most circumstances. At high speeds, the engine was directly connected to the drive train as it is more efficient to do that. the transaxle of the Voltec system is a marvel of engineering. It supports a dynamic switching between series and parallel hybrid mode as well as using the two separate electric motors for either power delivery or can switch one to regen and can rapidly switch between those modes, too.

While this is true, size matters and a lot of that plastic is only now entering our food chain due to degradation.

Also plastic usage has massively increased compared to the 50s and 60s. Especially things like plastic fiber fast-fashion clothing shedding microplastic particles during wear and washing. Then there is synthetic polymers as cosmetic and personal care ingredients. Plastic bottle and pipe usage increased too, I think.

Most of the things you named there are modular and can be easily disabled.

I believe it was invented by Margaret Hamilton and a research assistant during the Apollo project:

"Often in the evening or at weekends I would bring my young daughter, Lauren, into work with me. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation of a mission to the moon. She liked to imitate me – playing astronaut. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, the simulation started. Then she pressed other keys and the simulation crashed. She had selected a program which was supposed to be run prior to launch – when she was already 'on the way' to the moon. The computer had so little space, it had wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God – this could inadvertently happen in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and Nasa said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake. Midcourse on the very next mission – Apollo 8 – one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created much havoc and required the mission to be reconfigured. After that, they let me put the program change in, all right."

The foundations of ML aren't changing. The models change, the data pipelines become more sophisticated, but the core skills are still important. Imagine you're trying to predict a binary event. Do you want to predict whether a given instance will be a 0/1 or do you want to predict the probability of each instance being a 1? Why? What do all those evaluation metrics mean? Even if you're using a super advanced AutoML platform backed by LLMs or whatever, you still need to be able to understand the base concepts to build ML apps in the real world.
I don't think you can really say it is "combinatorial" because there's not a mainstream machine with AES-NI but not, say, SSSE3. In any case if there were such a machine you don't need to support it. The one guy with that box can do scratch builds.

I live near Yellowstone in Wyoming. The park is a lot more massive than Zion, usually involving multi-hour drives to get around, and there are multiple roads in the park, all of which don't necessarily see the same levels of traffic.

There also tend to not be as many people driving around slowly gawking on the roads themselves (unlike Zion or Yosemite, say), since most of the park doesn't have crazy vista views, it's mainly a high altitude, flat-ish volcanic plateau in the middle. The specific sites along the roads will have the traffic mostly.

Show HN: Flexibly Grab Videos, Playlists, or Whole Channels from YouTube
Hello Hacker News!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on. It's a tool designed to give users the flexibility to download videos in a way that's not commonly available.

> What It Enables to Do

- Selectively Download Videos: Choose specific videos you want from any channel or playlist without needing to download all items.
- Download Entire YouTube Channels: In a matter of a click, you can download all videos from a YouTube channel.
- Grab Videos from Playlists: Easily download all or select videos from any YouTube playlist.
- Individual Video Downloads: Just paste a video link, and download it directly.

> Why I Built It

Like many of you, I found myself often wanting to download only certain videos from a YouTube channel or playlist and realized there wasn't a straightforward tool that allowed for selective downloading, or that provided the flexibility to download entire channels or playlists as easily as I'd like. YT Channel Downloader was born out of this need.

> Features

- User-friendly Interface: Designed with ease of use in mind.
- High-Quality Downloads: Supports downloading videos in chosen quality.
- Cross-Platform: Available for Windows (with an installer in the releases), MacOS, and Linux.

> Looking for Feedback

I'm sharing YT Channel Downloader here because I believe this community can provide invaluable feedback. Whether it's a feature request, a bug you've encountered, or any other form of feedback, I'm all ears.

- Download: You can find the source code and the Windows installer, and more information at https://github.com/hyperfield/yt-channel-downloader/.

- Contribute: The project is open-source, and I'm keen on collaborating with anyone interested in making the app even better.

Thank you for checking out my app. I'm looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

Compiled _on_ and compiled _for_ are not the same. There must be a way to go to the target machine, get some complete dump of CPU features, copy that to the compile-box, do the build, and copy the resulting binaries back.

I got one of these way back as well. The design is not good. It performs it's main function well, but everything else it does it does stupidly.

For instance, the lid didn't have enough threading, and as a result would spill coffee. I don't know if they've fixed that, but it was clear just from looking at it that it needed more threads.

Travel mugs are just far more unpleasant to drink out of, and when coffee is about 140 degrees, I don't find myself spending hours sipping at it. It takes me about 5-10 minutes to go through.

A heavy mug already perform this task alright without the clever phase transition, but I drink enough coffee for it to be worth $100 to slightly improve the situation with a mug with the wax tech in it.

The number of people who've read LTG and think the world3 ressource usage predictions are accurate is crazy. The authors themselves say it's not accurate and overly simplistic.

By very far the threat to humanity is global warming, not resource depletion.

A lot of degrowthers want resource depletion to be very important because that's the only way what they call "green capitalism" doesn't work, but that's not fact-based.

Sadly for them basic pigouvian taxes + subsidies to innovation + reasonable behavioral changes (due to taxation) will mitigate most of the problem.
That's completely compatible with what they despise as "green growth".
I don't dislike US-Americans. Very far from it.

> Perhaps counterintuitively, the hardest people to teach Common Lisp to in my experience have been "senior software engineers" who transition into the project, who are so dead-set on their preferred languages and tools

That's essentially my experience. There is something about developers... they learn a new language but most people never really learn a new way of thinking.

I worked with one guy who tried to learn Common Lisp and even after a year on the project his code was essentially Java written in Lisp.

But this isn't really a problem with Lisp, specifically. I had the same problem with pretty much every programming language. Just recently I had fun debating the usefulness of Kotlin as a programming language. In my experience, for all the features Kotlin has, every single Kotlin program I have ever seen looks like a Java program translated line by line to Kotlin. Which is to say none of the Kotlin features are actually used to solve any important problems like reducing complexity of the application.

> Common Lisp doesn't have too many particularly odd language features;

I would say for most developers I worked with the biggest challenge was always getting the idea of macros. There is technically no reason to use macros. But if you do not use macros you are not really programming Lisp.

The point of macros is the reversal of the programming process. In a regular programming language, you get a bunch of tools and then you learn the tools and then you figure out how to write program using the tools.

In Lisp, you figure out how you want your program to be written, and then make tools that make it possible. It is quite a big shift in thinking that many people have trouble with.

Once I got this, I am now using similar technique in other programming languages. I am looking at my problem and extracting the core complexity and try to figure out what would be the best way to write that complexity down as code. Then I figure out all the machinery to make it happen. It not as elegant as in lisp but it still leads to way better and more readable code at least where it matters.

> Just because macs don't use systemd, doesn't mean the backdoor won't work.

Practically speaking it can't - For one the script injected into the build process tests that you're running on x86-64 linux, for another, the injected code is elf code, which wouldn't link on a mac. It also needs to manipulate dynamic linker datastructures, which would also not work the same on a mac.

> This could perhaps affect more than just sshd on x86-64 linux?

This however is true - /usr/sbin/sshd was the only argv[0] value that I found to "work", but it's possible there are others. "/usr/sbin/sshd" isn't a string directly visible in the injected code, so it's hard to tell.
