I was once on a plane to Munich, having just boarded. At some pint the stewardess asked "who is flying to Munich?".

"Welllll everyone I guess" I thought and raised my hand.

The plane was to Amsterdam and they mis-boarded three people (including me). Apparently the scanner something something and pointed us to the wrong entrance.

It's both. Their marketing copy states it as "search which is aligned with what's best for you", which they say includes both personalized search, no advertisements, and being "100% privacy-respecting". Privacy is definitely spoken of every time they talk about the product.
That's not uncommon and is even beneficial in warmer climates. It will be parasitic in winter (even if externally vented) and symbiotic in summer.
That certainly doesn't seem to be the case here.
I tried looking for some info on this but could only find the M1 Max review over at anandtech that managed to push 200 GB/s when using multiple cores on the CPU, but couldn’t really get any numbers for just the GPU that seemed realistic.

Do you have a source for the GPU only having access to half the bandwidth of the memory?

Show HN: 5 Years Ago I made the Recovery Kit, I just made the RK2
The Recovery Kit 2 is another cyberdeck that for me is part computer, part backup device, and part functional movie prop. It's been fun to build, and the HN community has been great with ideas- especially around hosting and getting me off Squarespace. I hope you all enjoy!
When I got a quote to upgrade my resistive heater to a heat pump, the added cost to get a backup resistive heater (with the same capacity as my existing one) was only $500. Seems like as long as you're wired for it, it's very cheap.
The river Nene apparently rhymes with "been" in Peterborough but "Ben" in Northampton.
At this point there is no alternative. We need their production capacity so the wheels back home can keep on spinning.
It is hard to escape the truth that much of your personal development is either helped or hampered by those crucial early years spend with your parents.

It is obvious from probing family histories of self, family and friends - seeing how the dots join between certain experiences then and certain traits now. The same patterns emerge, and you do wonder how many fewer broken people we would have if parents held themselves to a higher standard.
And the people on OPT (Optional Practical Training) have F "student" visas, which required them to prove that they needed to get education in the US in order to use it in their home country and have no intention on staying in the US after finishing the education least "building a life" there. Supported by evidence of strong ties to the home country, stated under penalty of perjury.
I just want to throw this out there to this audience. As someone that has worked in and been interested in energy efficient housing for 10+ years, I have been heartened to see the start of proliferation of heat pump units. However, as a whole, the market seems to be flooded with units of as good quality as your normal store bought air conditioner. That is to say, as soon as something goes wrong with them, they are garbage.

How come we only talk about efficiency/environmental friendliness of use and not of the unit itself (and all it's embodied energy/cost)? If I save 60% on energy for heating every year but then require all the energy needed to build a new heat pump every 5-10 what am I really doing?

I would love to see an effort to create an open source heat pump itself, based off of COTS parts and raspberry pi or something similar where you are not locked out of the software and dependent on a supplier to have replacement parts that they probably stopped stocking 5 years after releasing the product.

(Not a lawyer) I remember being told a rule of thumb that you should be a separate legal entity before "first contact" with a customer because that's generally where most of the risk of legal liability starts ramping up.
I think he's referring to all of the clicking required on Windows. For example, on Linux, I can create a project folder, files, etc. and open the project all from the terminal. On windows, I have to click into the file explorer, find the project folder, double click it to open it within the browser. So much clicking.

I admit, it's probably a skill issue. I've been using Linux distros for the last ~10 years, and am now working with .net codebases.
No-- that is a damn good/very successful game from an indie perspective.
> You really think some foreign person is key - then bid $1million/year salary to that person. You want some cheap labor, then only bid cheap and risk not getting them.

I mean this a foolish solution that will just make industries reliant on certain specialized experts not feasible.

The reality is that the majority of Americans don't even have a college degree and Americans are a shrinking, aging populace. The few left in such a field would command wages so high their output wouldn't make up the difference or make it worth hiring them. Many companies would not be viable in the US if we didn't hire foreigners in high-skilled positions.
There are visas where the foreign national can control/own/run the company he or she works for, such as the E-1/E-2, O-1, and L-1 visas. It's more complicated and tougher if you want to remain in H-1B status and work for your own company; in that situation, you have to give up some control to a cofounder or board. To be clear, it's possible to maintain your H-1B with your current employer and get a concurrent part-time H-1B through your own company (assuming the conditions above are met).
FWIW, my limited anecdotal evidence is that they're going through a rough patch. Friends with family in China report that they are very much in a recession. And every Chinese factory we know (copper wire) is building factories in other SE Asian countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia) so they can be tariff-free for American customers. Which I take as a sign that the tariffs have been painful for them.
Are you saying that systems with the death penalty are less corrupt? That's a funny take especially coming in under an article about one of the largest fraud cases worldwide where the perpetrator gets the death penalty.

What societal beacons of moral rectitude were you having in mind?
>> You understand paper and pen. It's right there.

> You think you do, but then you look into the 2000 Bush-Gore election. We'll never know who actually won because of hanging chads.

Punch cards are not "paper and pen."

> It could happen with any analog system. If it's fill-in-the-bubble, how do you count underfils? Or one candidate fully filled and the opponent slightly filled? When you get 10M pen and paper samples, you'll get sampling errors, and in a close election, there won't be a clear winner.

A paper and pen system may not be perfect, but regular people can understand it fully including the failure modes and exceptions.

No so with computer systems, they can be so totally inscrutable. What if instead of hanging chads, it was a buffer overflow that corrupted 500 votes before they could be tabulated? CNN could have experts talk about it nonstop for a week, and all most people would get out of it is that computers are inscrutable and unreliable.
Hi Peter,

I have a young friend in Russia who is a computer / programming prodigy. I'm trying to help him get out of Russia by getting a tech job in any other country. He's only 18 atm though.
Can you give me any advice? I'm based in Ireland so companies I've worked for + my friends work for would mainly be Irish. I have good contacts in USA and also Germany though.

I want to know...

1. If a company realizes he would be a great hire how feasible is it to hire a Russian?

2. Can the company help with Visa and getting him out of Russia (so as to not be conscripted)

3. What countries should he be applying for jobs in?

A relative recently upgraded their 120yr old house with heat pumps, and the warmth is so much better than where I currently live (a 40 year old home with a new gas furnace). In my experience you can't generalize about heat source.
Here's a few interesting/controversial takes:

1. Food is a touch-based art. Texture is such a critical and underrated component. Do you prefer the corner or center brownies?

2. Clothing is a touch-based art. Ask anybody on the spectrum.

3. Product design is a touch-based art. Feel how well your phone fits in your hand. Feel how well your ass fits your car seat or computer chair. Ever felt the finish of a nice pair of binoculars?

4. Craftsmanship is a touch-based art. Woodworking, metalworking, pottery. The end result can obviously be touch-based, but I'd argue the process is as well. Cutting, shaping, grinding, polishing, these are all intimately physical acts! Even CNC work has a physical connection.

5. Music is a touch-based art. Ask someone deaf.
"ADSB" data isn't always ADSB, either. The big ADS-B mapping sites (adsbexchange.com, and the ones that popped up after its acquisition) also collect MLAT data from their volunteer stations to triangulate aircraft with ADS-B disabled but can otherwise be detected, if not located directly (via Mode S, mostly, I think).

What is the use case of a VPN?

To hide the IPs of the servers you are visiting from your internet provider?

With a VPN, the VPN provider sees those IPs. How is that better?

And why would I care that my internet provider sees those IPs in the first place?
Yes this looks like it is using cgroups v1 and v2 does changes things up enough that its not a great guide.
There used to be a visa specifically for nurses, the H-1C, and when that sunset, the options greatly were reduced but there still are solutions if the global organization is structured and funded properly. It's not appropriate for me to mention the names of firms here but I can give you some via email.
I think the term REST got co-opted because people just didn't want to actually use the Representational State Transfer. Its "Self Descriptive Messages" mix presentation with data in a way that strikes a lot of programmers as wrong.

They needed a name for the "right" thing, passing data around and then deciding how to present it. REST isn't correct, but the name was there -- and not really being used.

I don't entirely understand HTMX, but as far as I can tell it really does want to pass HTML around in something closer to the original REST spec. It just provide a lot of infrastructure required to make that work, unspecified in the original REST spec.
where's the chimney?
This doesn't give any reason to separate the package management and toolchain management. They very obviously should be managed by the same tool, and virtually all modern languages do it like that.

The only reason it is awkward in Python is because of Python nonsense, not because it's a bad idea.

> makes Python seem like a toy language if it can't manage its own packages.

Well, quite. But plenty of people have to use Python so I don't see why we shouldn't make good tooling for it in better languages. The same thing is happening for JavaScript.
All right, thank you. I can run it on 2x 4090 and just put the 3090s in different machine.
One of the primary responsiblities as you climb the hierarchy
is to protect your team / teams / departments from maniacs in other
places fo the hierarchy.

That means standing up and saying "No" and sticking to it.
Overtime it will show that your people perform better than others
since they have a sane person ensuring that they are not
on death marches to failure.

Or it can mean losing your job, in some instances.

What would you rather do?

Kill your team by imposing impossivle tasks, due to pressure form the top
in order to climb higher in the hierarchy or at least maintain,.

Or be straight and honest, and if nescessary take one for the team-+

IMO onshoring is mostly happening at this point because of tariffs. The supply chain crisis is over and has been for a while at this point, but everything coming from China is still 25% more expensive than it used to be.
It's hard to blame them. Running vital infrastructure on domestic tech seems a sound strategic move.
"FEARMONGERING meaning: 1. the action of intentionally trying to make people afraid of something when this is not necessary"

> "told Ukrainians in 2021 that they were going to be invaded by Russia, which would mean 100,000+ of them killed and maimed, would you also say they were "fear mongering"

Maybe, this depends if they were commenting with good evidence because they were trying to get Ukranians to fight or escape, or if they were commenting because they wanted to make Ukranians afraid. The Ukrainian government saying "imminent invasion, 100,000+ of us will die, here's what we need to be doing" might not be fearmongering, Russia saying "we're imminently invading, 100,000+ of you will die" might be fearmongering. Americans telling each other "Russia will invade Ukraine, 100,000+ people will die, the world is ending, mass slaughter!, NATO will fall, Europe is history! Russia will move onto Georgia and then Poland!" absolutely would be fearmongering.

> "Do you have any evidence or track record to support your position?"

My position is that your comment is fearmongering. My evidence is your comment.

> "If not, I'd leave dismissals of current US Gov. understanding of the situation to the full time geo-pol pro's who do successfully predict things."

I'm not dismissing US Gov understanding of the situation, I'm criticising your fearmongering echoing of things. Do you have any track record of helping stop China invading Taiwan? If not, stop spreading fear for upvotes and leave the warfare preparations to the pros.
Trailing newlines are removed in backtick and $(..) substitution per POSIX:

> The shell shall expand the command substitution by executing command in a subshell environment (see Shell Execution Environment) and replacing the command substitution (the text of command plus the enclosing "$()" or backquotes) with the standard output of the command, removing sequences of one or more <newline> characters at the end of the substitution.

The ID checking the second time probably would have worked since that was presumably the real person. They don’t normally collect ID at boarding according to the article so they wouldn’t be able to see the previous person’s ID.
China is old [1] and broke [2]. It won't be able to afford to attack Taiwan - for reference, 1930s Japan and Germany had way more young people. Japan was also rich from its empire, while Germany transitioned away from gold standard to afford its wars. 2022 Russia thought the war would end in 3 days.

Also, as we see from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, drones and missiles are effective at taking out the world's second largest navy. Taiwan has very accurate and effective homegrown missiles [3]. China would need to amass a ton of ships which would be easily detected, staff them with only sons from families, and try to move them across a 100 mile straits while under the barrage of US/Japan/Taiwan missiles and drones.

Lastly, China is quickly transitioning to state run economy much like Soviet Union [3], which means innovations and growth will be gone forever, especially in tech industries.

Why it might be now or never for a lot of your ideas
It shouldn't be a surprise. Our economic system and even economics-related media puts individual short term gains above all else. Everything is viewed through the lens of "what makes me the most money today?" Long term positions are not valued. Positions that might benefit others are not even considered.
>With a VPN, the VPN provider sees those IPs. How is that better?

Because someone may trust the provider of the VPN more than they trust their ISP?

>And why would I care that my internet provider sees those IPs in the first place?

You might not. Other people do. It's not your place to decide what other people care about.
> surely it's better to have distributed AGI than to have AGI only in the hands of the elites

This is not a given. If your threat model includes "Runaway competition that leads to profit-seekers ignoring safety in a winner-takes-all contest", then the more companies are allowed to play with AI, the worse. Non-monopolies are especially bad.

If your threat model doesn't include that, then the same conclusions sound abhorrent and can be nearly guaranteed to lead to awful consequences.

Neither side is necessarily wrong, and chances are good that the people behind the first set of rules would agree that it'll lead to awful consequences — just not as bad as the alternative.
von Neumann was no open source advocate. He was actively trying to patent (some of) the ideas in the "First Draft" when the Army got wind of it. In a meeting early in 1947, von Neumann, Eckert, and Mauchly ALL got told that it was too late, because the "Draft" was considered public.
>> they don't share any paths for API calls, so it could literally be as simple as recursively copying various folders, and adding more route definitions to whichever service becomes the host.

Make that step 4 or 5.

Mono repo them first! Yes you will have to build some tooling to do this but it gives you a way to test the concept. The moment that you have to change 2 of them with any degree of coordination you will get a 10x pay back.

Hello Mr Roberts,

How much do you agreed with the internet sentiment that HB-1 visas are exploitive? What rights or recourse do HB-1 holders have that they are not aware of?

I am an American citizen, but I do notice quite a few jobs filled by HB-1 that could have been filled by Americans but many Americans do not stay in because of low pay or poor career advancement.

can you give an example of "self-congratulatory tone"?
is it things like, "this is still 10 times larger than dwarfs", because a statement of fact can not be insolent.

I actually only went through a significant portion of the readme (through the CromFS part) because of your comment, and i just don't see it. I see a person who wrote actually useful software that is multi-platform and gives the positives and negatives of the software they wrote compared to alternatives available today.

In every test DwarFS compared favorably, and on tests where one aspect was marginal, the DwarFS code was better in other regards: power at the wall, extract/read times, etc.

How would it be better presented by a solo developer?
Thank you - that's helpful.
It would have made more sense if you have context on the local politics in India or followed the supreme court case on this matter.

> That’s not an unsubstantiated claim, that’s literally how you deal with sensitive contacts and information in journalism.

The way it works is if the writing has a byline of a credible investigative journalist. It doesn't work for an anonymous wire service article.

> You understand that nobody is going to speak on the record about this, right? What, exactly, do you expect in terms of substantiation?

Journalism used to have standards. If you didn't have multiple confirmations you wouldn't publish it. These days they publish anything. They have more better credibility than anonymous opinion posts on random internet forums.
I'm not sure the presence of bit unpacking code in a decoder for a bit packed protocol is sufficient to call it hyper optimized. That seems like the nature of the problem.
