Just got the email from them explaining the changes. It goes like this.

Vercel: We’re changing our pricing. Our community has told us we’re expensive.
Also Vercel: Your bill is going up.
The problem isn't usually dollar amounts, but stuff like security, data storage, compliance.
It's very common in the US for DSL and also some fiber providers.
Isn't that just 442Hz, except about 34.3μs early?
I just don’t find this a useful comparison for nearly anyone interested in becoming a self-made person, hoping to draw inspiration. I’m sorry, but growing up in a very wealthy family, inheriting a large number of followers, and starting with a huge amount of influence… that’s not something most people will have. Beyond that, you have a massive, massive cushion to take risks, to try and fail, and to try different business models. And on top of that, you are taught directly from your successful parents how to start these lifestyle businesses. These are all crucial parts of success that most people don’t have access to.

It’s a lot more useful and interesting to draw the line earlier.
How timely. I just finished reading The Word for World is Forest last night.

Nobody likes a poo-pooer, but, holy moly, I thought it was unbelievable trash. Are her other books better? This one was "noble savages: the book". The Creechies can't even conceive of inter-species murder until Big Bad Comic Book Evil Guy (who just loves being evil) introduces it. The creechies don't know evil. They settle their disputes as all superior noble people would: through art.

I probably just got in my own way while reading. There was a lot of "wait.. they're sending _wood_ through interstellar space?". They have an ecology that can support a supply chain that produces food in excess to perform 40+ year round trips through space, but... they can't grow a tree? A tomato plant? Sure. A tree? Nah.

It might be a good kids book, if not for all the... raping.
I’m sure agile development also discourages reposting a job and making the employee re apply.
How does Lisp Flavored Erlang talk to Common Lisp? Probably with a byte stream. The VMs are different.

I've noticed Erlang/Elixir also favor interior composition! Parsing is not idiomatic there -- they're actually BAD languages for parsing text. (Though they do have good affordances for parsing bytes)

They prefer to pass around Erlang terms, which are copied inside the VM.

I get that -- it's more convenient. But it's also a reason why "the rest of the world" has more code reuse -- e.g. Go talks to JavaScript talks to Python.

Most projects have multiple languages. Monoglot projects become polyglot projects when they grow bigger.

---

So I say

- Lisp prefers its own (interior) narrow waist

- Erlang prefers its own (interior) narrow waist -- even the Lisp one is second class!

- The rest of the world uses the (exterior) byte stream narrow waist, but they complain about it a lot :)
That’s indeed a bit weird, I book quite often and haven’t had a paper tickets in 10 years even with frequent cross border (Austria / Germany) travel. Have encountered many other issues with DB of course!
I think your first instinct is the correct one. But I don't buy the argument that these jobs are somehow empowering them.

My criticism is towards the entitlement of shoppers who think self checkout is too clunky and having to interact with a cashier is too annoying but expect an army of people to work behind the scenes (be it anywhere in the world) to make it easy for them.
Thanks to the deals that have done with several CMS companies, they are now pretty much the default option when using one of those CMS, if one wants tier 1 tooling support for all their workflows.

Example, it used to be when using Sitecore, most of its extensions points would be .NET, now in their SaaS products, .NET is 2nd class, if you really want to use their tooling, without filling in the gaps yourself, the answer is Next.js.
PCIe doesn't have to do anything as complex as a general-purpose CPU. Increasing the frequency is a lot easier when you don't need to worry about things like heat, pipelining, caching, branch prediction, multithreading, etc. It's just encoding data and sending it back and forth. We've gotten very, very good at that.

It wasn't really like it was impossible before now - it's just more that it wasn't in demand. With the proliferation of SSDs transferring data over PCIe, it's become much more important - so the extra cost of better signaling hardware is worth it.

Not to dismiss it completely, it's still a hard problem. But it's far easier than doubling the frequency of a CPU.
I remember a system I was working on where I was setting up an empty financial account. Error - no currency specified. Well a) I don't have a currency, but more importantly b) how does nothing need a currency?

It's as if a farmer had a field with no animals in it and was asked what sort of animals it hasn't got in it. I think the Romans were right.

Many DSL installations use PPPoe, additionally some Fibre installs too.
There seems to be a non zero chance that AI is a transformative tech a la the internet. Then the bear case becomes is Nvidia the same as Cisco in 1999? Did Cisco have a moat like CUDA? Will the AI boom be like 1999? Do you compare p/e, forward p/e or p/s which all paint a different picture of how similar the stocks are.

I would suggest it’s not totally apparent what will happen with the Nvidia stock price, especially as the ramifications for the world could be so huge if AI is as transformative as speculated. It threatens the stability of many other markets / stocks.

Time will tell!
No. As a taxpayer, my money is already going to 1230987587123 government frivolities. I don't need to be funding infrastructure for bigcorps any more than I already am.

Well personally I'm pretty cynical, I also don't expect much benevolence from a dictator. There are examples of it in history though.

While I don't want to live under a dictatorship, I'd argue that a dictator will only be as good as the system that put them into power. A huge issue we have today in the US is that our political system is so broken and corrupt that the only people willing to work their way to the top are ones we likely wouldn't want to have power. It may be a democracy of sorts, but if the system is broken the leadership will match regardless of how many/few are in charge.
You responded to a specific post about a specific thing with a made-up thing, that wasn't what was being discussed. That's why you are unreasonable. Here now, again, you are doing it by twisting your post to now be about everything else, except the actual post you responded to, which had a pretty specific and reasonable criticism of the 5th circuit. This most recent post by you screams of projection, where you instead just insist the 5th circuit is "reasonable" just because you don't like why people disagree with them. Apparently the irony of this is beyond you.
Institutionalization necessarily involves imprisonment, but should not be limited to just that, I don't know why you are considering this to be some rhetorical flourish. I am not misrepresenting anyone, nor am I playing word games. Homeless people are often experiencing chronic, severe mental health issues and should be put into a psych ward that helps them regain control of their lives. They will not do this on their own, so this is where the rest of society comes in, say "yes we do actually know better than you," and take them off the street.
What you're saying requires a belief that you are the official speaker of Hamas. And that they don't mean what they say, they mean whatever you say they mean.

It's a stretch. I can't say I believe you. I'll go with the documentation and official statements pending some more compelling evidence to establish your authority.
To the Polar.sh team, congrats on landing mitchellh as an advisor! Perhaps he might go on to expand his involvement with Polar, similar to how Brian Acton increased his involvement with Signal Foundation after a hefty donation? Time will tell.

It's funny because I just learned of Polar yesterday and would be curious to hear from the Polar founders how they differ significantly from Algora [1] apart from the obvious difference in take rate.

Yes, but then marketers and sales reps are mostly trying to sell to big companies. Smaller deals are usually self serve.
I feel exactly the same way. The Dispossessed was both one of the best and one of the most boring books I've ever read. There are a lot of things I appreciate about it and I'm glad I read it, but damn was it a slog to get through.

> incurable depression sufferers?

I'm just not sure that a 28 year old is really facing incurable depression.

You can be in a pretty long deep depression in your 20s and pull out of it in your 30s and 40s.
If it's publicly funded, it should be subject to standard public sector oversight.

I don't think open-source wants this.

You can't read Socrates, because he did not write. You can read Plato though.
Yes, really. So what you're showing is the Toshiba X300 8TB HDD uses about 4 watts more than SSD in idle or operating. Notably you don't seperate read vs write because SSD write actually uses more power than HDD and 20 watts of SSD write happens. You chose to characterize it by relative amount ignoring the insignificant absolute amounts. In the real world 4 extra watts of power just doesn't matter. If you have 3 8TB X300 HDD that's about $20 in power per year over the SSD. Not really something to base you entire decision around.

In comparison 3 8TB SAMSUNG 870 QVO cost $1500 total, or, ~$1000 more than the 3x $150 X300 8TB. So it will take 50 years for the $20/yr energy cost of the HDD over SSD to matter.

>Ah, yes, because everyone is only doing sequential IO to NAS, like you?

This is a mischaracterization (or misunderstanding) of my statement. I said it doesn't matter because behind a rpi ethernet link it literally doesn't. The latency of the link and rpi compuational power dominates. You could have an optane behind the rpi ethernet link and it'll be about the same as something fairly slow. SSD in rpi 1 gig ethernet NAS are like using sports cars to haul gravel with trailers. If it was connected via infiniband it might make sense.

I don't think you're making your arguments in bad faith but I do think you're a bit confused about what 4 watts is. And the physical volume thing is the same: very small things with large relative differences make for small absolute differences.

And i’ve practiced hacking in very very many disciplines my whole life, so i’m not too bad at it.

It's still not clear to me what Rust feature would prevent what specific vulnerability here. Rust has bounds-checked and non-bounds-checked array accesses depending on the developer's preference, and so does C++. If there's some point you're making with these quotes you're going to need to simplify it for me since I'm not following.
There seems to be a few python libraries out there that will spit out a subset of these sequences. I know that's pretty much the exact opposite of how you're supposed to use this data, but I still think it's neat.

Usefully, there's a "PROG" entry for many sequences on this site showing one or more ways of generating the sequence.
This is interesting but I'm curious what some of it means. For example, if I analyze the Kubernetes swagger spec [1] the tool gives it a quality score of 10% (terrible) and I'm curious why this score would matter or why spending time to improve it would matter

One can buy a good brand like Lexus/Honda/Toyota or even BMW and be able to figure out their actual cost of ownership, depreciation is part of this.

If a value of a vehicle can drop $40k over a period of a month, it is too volatile and I will never purchase such brand.

I think a quick 2-minute read on the changes around each generation gen1 -> gen4 example from 2016 will make it a bit clearer [0].

Things like packet encoding etc. Then a quick look at the signalling change of NRZ vs PAM4 in later generations.

Gen1 -> Gen5 used NRZ, PAM4 is used in PCIe6.0.

They built shitty murderGPT and they think based on vetting a sample it can be 90% effective at picking out Hamas associates. In turn they are targeting homes and residential buildings with the stated goal of killing up to 20 people to get the lowest level flunky.

Their goal would allow them to kill 200 people to get 9 Hamas. 21 v 1

In fact

- Hamas is the local government many people who fulfill only civilian roles arent lawful targets.

- A dearth of smart bombs led to using dumb bombs which are less accurate and more likely to create collateral damage.

- There arent infinite lawful targets as the supply of lawful targets is smaller in relation to the pool of victims it is expected to get less accurate.

murderGPT is probably worse than specified.

Why would pipelining, caching, branch prediction make increasing the frequency difficult? Why would heat be less of a problem for a pcie controller than for a cpu?
That’s not quite true. It only depends on what level of abstraction are you willing to do — you can write a runtime with GC entirely in safe rust (or a managed language).

Are any of these people required to open a credit card? If you're poor and low FICO, then you shouldn't have a credit card in the first place, just a debit card. And if you're poor and high FICO, then a credit card will provide you benefits.

It seems like the proposal is to take away rewards for everyone because there's a group of people that can't help themselves. Why not just be more strict about who gets a credit card.
I have never seen such a story from a respected source. Please provide some examples.
There's an old IBM presentation going around, from 1979, that says "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a Management Decision." We know that humans make monstrous decisions in war; many of us remember seeing the Collateral Murder video, and everyone has at least heard of the Nuremberg trials. When humans make monstrous decisions, at least some of them, sometimes, hang for it. The computer here serves mainly to diffuse responsibility for decisions that would be made in any case. Who will hang?
Same ahahah
Some more details on the photograph experiment from https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2007/09/how-lucky-people-...

----
[Experimenter]: They'd go through, and after about three pages, there'd be a massive half-page advert saying, STOP COUNTING. THERE ARE 43 PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS NEWSPAPER. It was next to a photo, so we knew they were looking at that area. A few pages later, there was another massive advert -- I mean, we're talking big -- that said, STOP COUNTING. TELL THE EXPERIMENTER YOU'VE SEEN THIS AND WIN 150 POUNDS [about $235].

For the most part, the unlucky would just flip past these things. Lucky people would flip through and laugh and say, "There are 43 photos. That's what it says. Do you want me to bother counting?" We'd say, "Yeah, carry on." They'd flip some more and say, "Do I get my 150 pounds?" Most of the unlucky people didn't notice.

> This is true of every tool used for art. Markers lead to people commonly using the same colors. Paint brushes lead to details appearing to be brushes on. The printing press lead to standardization of typography for textual art. Where is the line between good tools that enable human creativity by making it easier to express things, and bad tools that make it too easy to express things?

AI has already crossed that line. Where's the line between consciousness and not when a human zygote grows? Perhaps the line is blurred like that.
True. Almost all non-western music also has functional harmony though. The notable exceptions are things like Indian classical music and things like gamelan (which have static modal harmony).

>Also, her therapist claiming that "There’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better" sounds like an enormous red flag for me. Some authority should take a long hard look at a professional therapist speaking like that

That is not a quote from her doctors or her therapists. It appears to be an uncorroborated quote from the patient, though even that is not clear from the article.
A 3 hour charge is pretty far out of the norm in the modern world. Most EVs will go from 20-80% in 20 minutes or so if you're at a reasonably modern fast charger.

I think a big part of the problem is that Hertz did a terrible job of instructing people new to EVs about the quirks of the platform. Charging to 100% is almost never necessary or even a good idea. It takes so much time that you're better off just making one more charging stop instead. The built-in computer in the cars is excellent at figuring out where to charge and even does stuff like pre-warm the batteries right before you arrive to make the charging go as smoothly as possible. But of course if Hertz doesn't tell you this you instead have a panic attack as you suddenly realize you have no idea how to find a charger in your area. It doesn't help that there are two competing standards currently so you have to know which kind of plug your car has and where the available chargers are. Of course the on-board computer has all of that information, assuming you know to ask.

Given how many stories there are of people wandering around looking for chargers, it is clear that Hertz did a terrible job of informing customers of how their cars worked.
We already said that one :D
It takes about a full microsecond for a signal to go from one edge of the "wafer" to the other, so that constrains your cycle time considerably.
> Above is the final DDR3 routing on all the PCB layers. Layers 2 and 6 are ground, 5 is supply voltage, and others are reserved for signals. Two grounds are needed for correct impedances on the top, middle, and bottom traces of the PCB. With only one ground plane, the distance from the signal to ground would be too large on either the top or bottom layer.

Is the textual description in the article correct? To me the images make it look like signals are on 1 (red), 3 (orange) and 6 (blue), with ground on 2 (green) and 5 (pink) and supply voltage on 4 (teal). If you match some vias, you will find that 2 and 5 are definitely connected.

Surely cars are rented far, far more often for travel reasons than car repair reasons.

I think I've only ever rented a car for car repair [mechanical or body] reasons once, at that was a mechanical breakdown while I was about 350 miles from home, so I had to leave it at a shop and rent a car to continue the trip. Meanwhile, I've rented cars almost once a month for business or personal travel reasons.
