There were two main drivers -

- inability to back-test new real-time features. People were forced to log-and-wait to create training sets for months. Chronon reduces this to hours or days.

- the difficulty of creating the lambda system (batch pipeline, streaming pipeline, index, serving endpoint) for every feature group. In chronon, you simply set a flag on your feature definition to spin up the lambda system.
Yep, there was the South Park episode from 2002 (Asspen) that does a shot of the housing development, and the sign for it says, "A time-share community." -- even then it was a long-recognized trend of how the ski towns turned out.

I'm not sure you believe what you're saying. The dead don't have dignity? They aren't people anymore?

Treating the dead with dignity isn't solely for the sake of the dead, it's literally one of the oldest cultural norms of homo sapiens and perhaps even our homonid ancestors.

A homeless man is found dead outside city hall. He is nominally identified, but no relatives can be identified. What should the city do with him or - excuse me - his remains?
There's a ton of really good Rust content on the Zed blog. As somebody new to Rust, I've learned a lot from it. For example, how they do ownership in a GUI setting, in a language for which even writing a doubly-linked list is a challenge:

When I travel from Brussels to Berlin (similar to SF to LA), I can pass through Cologne (pop 3.3m), Frankfurt (pop 770k), Hannover (pop 500k), and Hamburg (pop 5.5m).

This is the issue. There isn't enough population between metros in the Western United States to support the financial burden of managing such a system.

Anything that can write that is intelligent.
I get your sentiment, but I think it's important for science communication to adapt to the times. Decades ago (and even as little as one decade ago), most scientists (maybe Hawking being the exception) who would dare appear in these 1hr documentaries would be belittled by the "hardcore" scientists with the same words you used "Science should not be over-simplified like that", "they are not real scientists, they just want to be on TV", etc.

> SawStop technology isn't compatible with all materials that need to be cut at a job site

You can turn the tech off to make it work as a regular table saw, but it does require pre-existing knowledge about what may false-trip the saw. Having a job site saw fail on site without cartridges and blades in supply, or a newbie on the saw could be pretty bad.

Not overly prohibitive with training though, and is something that everyone will face if this becomes mandated.

How does "dual point" compare to "multipoint" advertised in some newer (even some decent/cheap) ones?

I'm looking to "upgrade" but only because the batteries in my current pair are shot. It feels so bad to have things like this just go into a landfill when they're perfectly fine other than the battery.

Introduction to Atproto 1: What Is PDS? What Features Does It Have?
a lot of people have truly deficient social skills. technology didn't make them this way they're just bad at it, so bad that they can't even have enough social interactions to improve and practice. can't even hold a conversation with a cashier. they simply lack the skills to be part of a community.

ideally such people could build remedial social skills by practicing with a real therapist. but that's costly and difficult to make accessible, because "bad at conversation and annoying" is not a mental illness.

an LLM here could help. just to give someone a sense of how to hold simple, normal conversations and practice very basic theory of mind, to the point where they could start building real social skills.

the problem is whoever builds that system may choose to exploit the users and build dependence. but that's a choice, it doesn't have to happen.
I'm Western European so this kind of thing does not have the partisan colouring you seem to read into this, at least to me. I chose this nick because I've always liked the Intel codenames. :-)

What I'm arguing here is that we've democratically elected leaders that have put the system in place that allows citizens to bring grievances when they have no other recourse to protect their rights. You can't then turn around and say that's an abuse of democracy, I feel it's the result.

What I think you're really arguing against is the existence of 'friendly' courts. Lady Justice should be blind and so whether progressive or conservative, if a court does its job and applies the law as our democratically elected leaders have written them I honestly don't care. Even if that means it will sometimes rule in a way I disagree with.

BUt that's my point. It's integrating two extremely dense regions with multiple large cities in between. Between the Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles, all you have is Fresno and Bakersfield.

That's it.
Postgres is great, but managing a fleet of them (one in each web server) and ensuring they are all working fine would bring a lot of operational complexity.

SQLite, on the other hand, skips all of that with its simple in-process model.
Well that is the beauty of economics. The system is so complex that you can claim causation wherever you want and find some data to point to.

I honestly don't get how economics is considered a science or predictive. At the highest level its still largely driven by trying to play psychological games to "nudge" consumers and investors in a certain direction. There's no prediction there, and a science that couldn't, for example, predict that printing $4T would cause inflation isn't really very scientifically accurate with its predictions.

article mentions no plans to integrate to youtube but i bet it's added on the first update.

"One thing missing, though? Any sign of YouTube. You know, that other video service Google owns. Behr laughs when I mention it and says that there’s some tech shared between the products but that “the audience and use cases are pretty fundamentally different” between the two products. This is a work product, for workers, to use at work. “We’re trying to make sure we’re really supporting that use case, you know?”"

a lot of content for "work" ends up on youtube too.
So it's Loom, but with Google Doc integrations?

This really depends on whether you think that someone who is dead has the ability to care.

In my opinion, funerals are for the living, for those left behind. And it’s those who don’t like the thought of non-attended funerals who organize this, and it’s really for them, not for the dead, whose lives are already over and done. Dignity is for those who can experience the dignity or lack thereof.

Automattic is primarily four core businesses:

1. WordPress.com - Hosted SaaS for building websites. Very cheap to run, includes ads on free sites, and they sell users upgrades like custom domains or removing ads from their sites.

2. Jetpack - Services for self-hosted WordPress sites, like backups, social media integration, image CDN, antispam - mostly paid services, again very cheap to run.

3. WooCommerce - Open source ecommerce service. They sell add-ons like payment gateways, and have their own with a percentage fee of each transaction.

4. WPVIP - Enterprise and high-scale hosting service. Expensive ($25k/yr+) but worth it for large companies who run their business off it, like newsrooms and marketing sites.

To my knowledge, they're each independently profitable. Automattic also has a lot of additional smaller services which support these, and various Other Bets.

(I don't work at Automattic, but have many friends there.)

What? Generic-sensor API is a candidate recommendation from Devices and Sensors Working Group at the w3c, "intended to become a w3c recommendation". That's like 85% of the sensors. This seems incredibly weird to quibble over.

I'm struggling to see great difficulties in Background Fetch and Background Sync, specs from 6 years ago. WebKit's big fear in their position was that maybe a background fetch for a user who changes networks leaks more data than expected... Ok, maybe, yeah, but also an incredibly tiny corner case that'll affect like 1e-8% of uses.

FUD FUD FUD.

Go read the mailing list folks; figure out for yourself what if anything seems so onerous & terrible about what's happening. By all means, freak out & share if you have concerns. But this looks like a very useful benefit to us all, happening day by day, getting as much consensus and buy in as they can, to me.

Although I understand the sentiment of the Google’s ability to create better ad products in this area, I’m very consumer focused on the topic of privacy, and I want further restrictions and even incredible fines on ad companies that are focused on eliminating personal privacy rights.

The Beeper codebase is also in a pretty bad state.
There's a number of scaled AMD deployments, including Lamini (https://www.lamini.ai/blog/lamini-amd-paving-the-road-to-gpu...) specifically for LLM's. There's also a number of HPC configurations, including the world's largest publicly disclosed supercomputer (Frontier) and Europe's largest supercomputer (LUMI) running on MI250x. Multiple teams have trained models on those HPC setups too.

Do you have any more evidence as to why these categorically don't work?
This is pretty true. Sawstop adds more to the cost of a low end table saw than a low end table saw is worth.
Personally I go to mountain and beach towns as a place to stay while I go to the mountains (hiking or skiing) or the beach. I don't see how more development would get in the way of those activities. Especially not if it's denser development.

"He is opposed to this but expects it to pass. His best argument is that it would effectively outlaw affordable low end "contractor" portable job-site style table saws"

"job site saws" account for 18% of the market, just to put this in perspective.

It is also totally wrong. The submitted comments to the CPSC suggest an increase of $50-100 per saw, even with an 8% royalty (which will no longer exist).

That is from PTI, who is the corporate lobbying organization of the tool saw manufacturers and plays games with the numbers.

In the discovery of the numerous lawsuits around design defects in table saws, it turns out most of the manufacturers had already done the R&D and come to a cost of about $40-50 per saw.

Everything else is profit.

We already have riving knives and you name it, and injury cost is still 4x the entire tablesaw market.

It's worse if you weight it by where injuries come from.

For every dollar in job site saws sold, you cause ~$20 in injuries.

The one dollar goes to profit, the $20 is paid by society, for the most part (since they are also statistically uninsured).

Let's make it not regulation - which seems to get people up in arms.

Here's a deal i'd be happy to make (as i'm sure would the CPSC) - nobody has to include any safety technology.

Instead manufacturers are 100% responsible for their weighted share of blade injury costs (whether the user is insured or not).

If the whole thing was profitable, this would not be a problem.

Suddenly you will discover their problem isn't that there is technology being mandated, but they don't want to pay the cost of what they cause.

(In other, like say cars, you will find the yearly profit well outweighs the yearly cost of injuries)
When switches first arrived, most of them were unmanaged, or only had basic snmp counters, but they solved the collision problem.

I remember my first Internet company, where after getting an ARN for free. Coordinated with uunet over IRC to get them to pull routes from me, turning up our second T1.

The second traffic started to flow the collision light on the 24 port 3com fast Ethernet hub went solid.

I thought I had routed the Internet over my link.... but no, two T1s through an Alta Vista firewall running on a DecStation was enough to do it with a basic three their web app while backups were running.

I had lots of experience with 10base2/5 with more traffic, but the stocastic nature of web traffic was problematic.

If you lived through the growth of the Cisco chassis switches, the ASIC improvements that allowed for management was quite obvious.

I remember fighting with packet engine engineers, advocating for jumbo frames as default. They wanted to support gig-e hubs, which would have never been useful due to collisions.

History proved me right there, nothing simpler than a store and forward bridge made it to mass market for Gig-e
I hate to defend kludges, but here we go. The customer paid for fixing the out of bounds issue, the urgent one. So while you seem to be applying good methodology in eliminating magic numbers and named registers, you risked the project beginning a rabbit hole. Timing dependent FPGA code can be fragile and risky to mess with. It's unlikely the customer intended to pay for that.

I'm comparing these to my galaxy buds plus, which I bough because of theoretically replaceable batteries:

- pro: 10 EUR for a pair of replacement batteries for the earbuds vs ~20 EUR for a pair of VARTA batteries with shipping from Germany

- pro: 13 EUR for a new battery for the case. I need to go to aliexpress to find a replacement battery for the galaxy buds plus case

- pro: replacement process seems to be way easier because it was designed to be replaceable unlike galaxy buds plus

- pro: lighter than the buds: ~5g vs 6.3g

- pro: ANC

- con: more expensive. I paid half the price for the buds. But that was in 2020 money.

- con: they are bigger: 28.7 x 24.6 x 21mm vs 17.5 x 22.5 x 19.2mm

The website talks only about affiliation.

"Potential" is one of those funny words which can be stretched to mean anything. As such, its not worth arguing about. So your personal view of what is a potential conflict isn't something we can get into here. But what would be interesting is if you actually had evidence of bias in the article. That is definitely something we can discuss - regardless of who said it.
I think you're right on the price, but just to give some false hope. I think newish hbm (and this is hbm2e which is a little older) is around $15/gb so for 128 gb thats $1920. There are some other cogs, but in theory they could sell this for like $3-4k and make some gross profit while getting some hobbyist mindshare/research code written for it.
I doubt they will though, it might eat too much into profits from the non pcie variants.
Ah—like how if you glanced at caster-equipped fridge drawers, you might think they add $1,000 to the price of a fridge, because only higher-end ones have them, but if they were (for some reason) legally mandated they’d only add like $5-$10 to low-end refrigerators. But, without the mandate, no option for a $400 fridge with nice drawers.

Maybe not that extreme, but similar dynamic.
> They're effectively just mathematical functions (albeit extremely complicated ones), which simply take inputs and return outputs without any intervening subjective experience.

So are human brains, which are subject to the laws of physics, and which work just as mechanistically as any computer.

Unless you hold a dualist view that the brain accesses a spiritual realm outside of the physical world, then the fact that a computer operates mechanistically does not mean that it lacks consciousness.
CityNerd identifies 56 train segments that should be built, using data and reasonable, precedented criteria:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE5G1kTndI4

His video description: "Nothing that exists in North America fits the definition of true high-speed rail. If we actually ever started building a network, where would we start? And how would we know when we were done? This video details a methodology for answering all those questions, then counts up 56 city pairs we really should've had high-speed rail service between long, long ago."
I think that is fine, it's good to honor the dead but it's also worth asking why we always don't do that for the living.

Ask HN: GraphQL Performance Issues, Am I the Only One?
We've recently made the leap to GraphQL for our APIs, attracted by its promise of more efficient and flexible data retrieval. The initial transition was smooth, and the benefits were immediately apparent. But, we've since hit a bit of a snag concerning performance.

We already implemented some of the recommended practices, like data loaders and simple expiration-based caching, but we're still in search of that significant breakthrough in optimization. The improvements, while beneficial, haven't been the game-changer we hoped for.

Does anyone talk about the elephant in the room? our app performance sucks, we need help.

Any insight? advice?
