Neon cold starts are targeted at just a few hundred milliseconds. Anything on the order of seconds would be a regression in our minds. Obviously this depends on geographical latencies, etc. We are always looking to improve cold starts.

What about crack? Even cheaper, and you could distribute it in the inner cities (or wherever it made sense) to control a target population
This problem is mostly fixed in general aviation, and fix is so successful, planes magnitudes safer than ground vehicles (statistics said, probability of accident on road is about 0.1% but on planes it is 0.0001%).

On first page of google search: probability of accident on road
"for every 1000 miles driven, your chances of getting into a crash are 1 in 366. Insurance companies report that customers file a claim once every 17.9 years"

"Approximately 1.19 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes."
"Between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability"
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffi...

For planes:
"about .01 deaths per 100,000 departures from 225 accidents between 2013 and 2021"
“The industry 2022 fatality risk of 0.11 means that on average, a person would need to take a flight every day for 25,214 years to experience a 100% fatal accident,” stated the I.A.T.A.
https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/how-common-are-commercial-pl...

To achieve reliability mostly used two approaches - more strict regulations on design and production (one cannot sale unsafe plane), and same with maintenance.

Some countries going even farther then others, for example, all Soviet helicopters required to have at least two engines and to make safe landing on only one.

Also, for aviation regulators typical to sacrifice modern hype technologies and be extremely conservative on electronics and software, so planes still achievable but reliable (yes, I don't like npm, I think planes will be hundreds times more dangerous if use npm).
Tesla at least has in the past continued manufacturing vehicles knowing that they need rework or are missing a part, and will then do that work while they are sitting in the inventory lot or at the service center before delivery.
we're constantly evolving it.

at the start, the "firebase alternative" positioning made it unclear to developers who thought we offered a NoSQL database. We always wanted to be "Postgres plus useful tools" so we started evolving the positioning over the past year

you'll still see "firebase alternative" on our site: I think the comparison is apt and the aspiration remains the same

SpaceX and Starlink are the true wins for Elon. My perception is because he is not too deeply involved and Engineers take safety, quality and reliability quite seriously.

Tesla definitely is daring and trying new things. Although the bar for quality and reliability is not the same as Rockets.

Twitter is just a joke. Little ROI for $44B. Seems like he bought it to stroke his ego.

He could have spent this on a standalone robotics company like SpaceX and would have been a better win.

But it's not my money and being a critic is a lot easier than being in the field. Elon is in the field.
The only way to solve it is to own your own domain and to make sure that you always pay for it. The catch is that you have to do this from the start.

I'm hopeful that governments will eventually realize how impactful this is, and mandate email provides to implement forwarding services after an account is closed and they have verified your identity, possibly via government ID.
"Problem"? I'd say Tesla was doing pretty awesome, compared to all the other car startups tried in the last 20-30 years?
Cars are not software, and it's ethically and morally wrong to test them in production.

Musk is playing games he doesn't understand, and wagering other people's lives to do it. He should at minimum understand that he has many, many fans who trust that he knows what he's doing, and will not expect Tesla's products to be cutting corners on safety and testing because "simpler is better" and "move fast and break things."

There are ways to find optimizations without removing a bunch of stuff and just shipping it like that to the general public: it's called engineering.

If Musk really wants to find ways to optimize the concept of a car further, he'll have to give up on point #4 and accept that it's going to take a lot of test cycles to figure out what works and what doesn't. Rushing out half-baked concepts that are likely missing key safety features because "let's see what happens" is exactly the kind of braindead approach to engineering management that is keeping me approximately 10,000 miles from anything Musk is in charge of.
Not initially. It started with 1 GB at the time the other popular services Yahoo and Hotmail provided 2-4 MB of storage.

Google later changed it to “unlimited” which increased daily by an MB or so. At some point settled at 15 GB.

I looked at a number of options when getting a new laptop earlier this year. Although I like the idea of modularized computers and support what Framework is doing, I cannot give them my money, because:

1. They are actually more expensive than something like ThinkPad X13/T14/T14s with the same specs (if you know how to find and use their "coupons"). It is definitely not as modularized (although that will also change in the next generation), but it is hard to justify spending more when you consider build quality and support.
2. There are still reliability issues, like what is mentioned in the article, and things like HDMI not working in certain conditions [0]. I knew that I need better than this.

I used to tinker with Android ROMs/root and different Linux distros a lot back as an undergrad student, but I very quickly realized that, even as a grad student, I need something that is reliable and works, and I need to focus on real productive work instead of figuring out how to fix things. Since then, I only use mainstream laptops/phones with a standard setup as my main devices, although I sometimes have spare/separate devices for trying things out.

Yep, it is a bit too big walled garden at the moment. Since it is E2EE almost completely, it is harder to make alternative clients. But still they should offer some specification.

Ask HN: I want to create IMDB for open source projects
I am interested in developing a web application that bears resemblance to IMDb but for open-source projects. The primary goal of this application will be to serve as a directory for discovering open-source projects.

While GitHub is an exceptional platform, it does not provide all the functionality I need. Therefore, I plan to add a search function that enables users to filter projects.

2. However, I am uncertain about how to plan the product. Can you assist me with this?

Back up a step. Is there any evidence that specific conferences help science?
Yeah, I agree with you. I'm sorry, but whether it was unlimited or only 1GB, it felt unlimited to me at that time and that WAS revolutionary. At the time, GMail seemed vastly superior to the main alternative, Yahoo Mail.
M1 Max 16” 64GB here, love it. I don’t feel much need to upgrade and doubt the urge will start to creep in until maybe M5 or M6. It chews through everything.

Even better, I got it at a steep discount because I bought it after the M3 came out and M3 Pro/Max was on the horizon.

I like it even more than I did my old 2015 15” pre-touchbar, which is saying something.
Congrats on the launch!

Here's our experience with Supabase at https://automark.io (Next.js + Supabase).

- First of all, Supabase let us launch fast which was amazing. Super powerful Postgres features without the pain of self-hosting (or so we thought).

- We started out using their hosted product for both our DB, storage, auth, and functions.

- Functions have a critical bug that prevent us from using in development so we decided to move to our own API servers: https://github.com/supabase/edge-runtime/issues/212

- Now, the connection between our API servers and the database was slow (a few hundred ms per query), so we moved to self-hosting Postgres which was pretty painful. We tried to use https://github.com/supabase/postgres, but the documentation was very lacking and we had to make a bunch of modifications to get it to work. After we got it working, it was pretty smooth though - pretty easy to implement backups, etc.

- Our latest issue has been around auth where the cookie name options change. We've spent hours debugging random cookie issues deep in the auth framework (they finally released `@supabase/ssr` which is pretty decent, but we're still thinking about moving to handling auth on our side so we know and can debug the logic).

One thing to mention: although our requirements didn't quite fit Supabase and we ran into these issues, we weren't locked into their hosting. We were able to completely move off of it over the course of a few weeks, but continue using the self-hosted version. This is a huge benefit over something like Firebase or Amplify. We're pretty satisfied with Supabase as an open source project, but not as satisfied with Supabase hosting.
It has a lot of things already encoded regarding the solar system, but it cannot really access it, it cannot - as far as I know - run functions on its own internal encoded data, right? If it does something like that, it's because it learned that higher-level pattern based on training data.

The problem with NN arrangements in general is that we don't know if it's actually pulling out some exact training data (or a useful so-far-unseen pattern from the data!) or it's some distorted confabulation. (Clever Hans all again. If I ask ChatGPT to code me a nodeJS IMAP backup program it does, but the package it gleeful imports/require()s is made up.

And while the typical artsy arts have loose rules, where making up new shit based on what people wish for is basically the only one, in other contexts that's a hard no-no.
Number 4 is grossly misinterpreted by the OP, and you inherited it. It doesn't mean "assemble it faster" at all, it means "make more prototypes".
> Postgres continues to hold its position as one of the most popular developer databases ever created.

Not bashing Postgres, however that statement is an overstatement. Postgres was a "it exists" database back in the early 2000's.

Unfortunately, this is true. By the time the average person debugs why the car is rushing full speed ahead, it's too late. Hopefully the brakes are strong enough to stop the engine torque, though.
I really, really want flying cars tho. However, lame rebranding of helicopters and planes doesn't qualify. Until we got some scifi antigravity levitation stuff, let's do the solar punk aesthetics and not waste energy punching air.
Just to make a counter point - you're suggesting a completely modernist tabula rasa view of aesthetics, which doesn't seem to gel with observed human aesthetic preferences, whether in fine art or architecture. Our reactions to aesthetics are obviously culturally mediated, but that doesn't mean that they are exclusively culturally derived (culture too of course springing from shared evolution). Cross culturally to pick an uncontroversial example, we show a high expressed preference for windows, higher ceilings, less cramped rooms etc. This extends also to proportionality, symmetry, ornamentation etc. The very recent historic move away from aesthetically pleasing buildings has much more to do with economics and the priorities of industrial and post industrial society, than the choices of the citizens who have to live in frequently grim and alienating environments.

Andries Kerpestien has a good series on some universal expressed aesthetic preferences in relation to architecture - https://casualrealism.substack.com/p/architecture-and-evolut...

My 2017 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't have a hill start button (nor does it just do it, afaik, which I've had with some rentals), so I'm not so sure it's standard on ICE cars for some time.

My 2014 PHEV does have a button, but I don't use it, because when I'm in the situation that needs it, there's usually cars behind me, and that's not a good time to test and see how it works.
I built a Win10 binary with Nuitka just the other day, and was surprised to find the pyinstaller binary had higher performance at runtime. Pyinstaller also had several other advantages, such as producing smaller binaries, and building faster, and Win7 support.

I think the term “distribution ray tracing” was a bit of a mid-point on the timeline of evolution from Whitted ray tracing to today’s path tracing? IIRC distribution ray tracing came from one of Rob Cook’s Siggraph papers. It’s probably worth moving toward path tracing as a more general and unified concept, and also because when googling & researching, it’ll be easier to find tips & tricks.

Yes when combining spectral rendering with refraction, you’ll need to pick a frequency by sampling the distribution. This can get tricky in general, good to build it in incremental steps. True of reflections as well, but up to you whether you want to have frequency-dependent materials in both cases. There are still reasons to use spectral even if you choose to use simplified materials.
2. seems literal, but I've heard him use it more generally as a statement toward leaning out a delivery process. Don't add complexity unless the complexity is worth the dysfunction it addresses.
The implementation you use is your own choice, not a law of nature or part of either protocol.

This is a classic responsibility-evasion cycle:

Users: We can't get equipment that supports this (or supports it well, or makes it easy), so we won't deploy it.

Vendors: Users aren't demanding it, so we won't support it.

The result is a suboptimal local equilibrium and an obvious market failure, but you invariably get loudmouths on message boards saying "Look, the Market (Peace Be Upon It) has spoken!". Gets a bit old.

The right answer in this case is probably coercive government regulation of the form "No IPv4 packet shall cross a property line", but I'm not holding my breath.

“A lot of telemetry doesn’t need to be stored for very long” is the attitude I take. Keeps costs down but gives good visibility.
> we can also add local storage of telemetry data in an efficient circular buffer. Typically, local storage is cheap and underutilized, allowing for “free” storage of a finite amount of historical data, that wraps automatically. Local storage provides the ability to “time travel” when a particular event is hit.

I think that this is a good idea when storage is concern for high-volume logs / production. Persisting the buffer when high error rates / unusual system behavior is observed would be a cool idea.
What it tells me is that the government doesn't care what political faction it supports as long as the goals of that faction expand it's power, and that at least some contingent of the liberal movement of that time (which I supported and still would support on principled grounds) had the goal of demoralization and not the goal of free expression.

Not a huge personality, but I am a partner/affiliate and it's always hilarious to me despite serving who knows how many hundreds of hours of ads (that my viewers constantly complain about) that I can't really do anything about. and how little I actually get from it is a joke. I also get a pathetic share off of subscriptions and always encourage my viewers to save their money and donate to me off-platform if they so desire (but I don't encourage it, because I think my day job makes me way more than most of my viewers make).

I've been looking for another platform, considered youtube but it has much of the same issues. Maybe I'll go to tiktok.
In Studio you'd need to click on a query to get the recommendations but the most important queries to optimize are on several metrics like "Most time consuming", "Most frequent", "Slowest execution" are sorted worst-to-best in tab views.

But if you do want to scan all of your queries at once for possible indexes you can do it in SQL with

```sql

create extension index_advisor cascade schema extensions;

select ia., pss.query

from pg_stat_statements pss, lateral( select from extensions.index_advisor(pss.query)) ia

order by (total_cost_after::numeric - total_cost_before::numeric)

limit 100;

But if it's more like 192.168.0.1, I'm probably not going to bother with speaking any delimiters in conversation with another person who has at least reasonable familiarity with common IP networking layouts.

Bringing it back to the topic: UUIDs should not ever follow familiar content patterns (if they do, then that's an issue in and of itself), so I'm always going to speak the delimiters of a UUID -- whatever they consist of.

(If nothing else, doing so breaks up the pattern into human-digestible chunks -- which is probably the sole reason we have those delimiters in UUIDs to begin with.)

If the "economically sustainable" path results in the destruction of the economy, then it's no longer sustainable.
