Didnt the ai have a bit of an ulterior motive in that series in that they needed ever changing/renewing humns to keep them from retreating into their own thoughts and going insane? It seemed a lot more l*ke all but a couple handfuls of humans who could still do something better than the ais were basically pets with a really nice pet ownership/care agreement...
Hang on a second. All we know is that the Tesla driver talked on the phone to someone, and the Rivian driver speculates "presumably to an unfortunate 9-1-1 operator".

Also, the Rivian guy is a jerk. He parked his car across not one but two charging stations.
That hardly seems fair.

(Microsoft was doing this to C++ well before the early part of the millennium…)

Edit: and in non-joke fairness, Microsoft has really come a long way on this regard.

There's a fourth use-case: occasionally, gaming.

I play Final Fantasy XIV, an MMORPG - apparently, supposedly, the peering connection between AT&T and FFXIV's US ISP (NTT) was particularly bad. [1]

This manifested as pretty severe connection issues for AT&T customers playing FFXIV. Except, it was a chronic issue that would only flare up when that particular connection point was stressed.

One of the easiest workarounds? Hop on a VPN.

That's one example. Anecdotally, I have a few friends that toggle VPNs on and off when they encounter "network weather" in games. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical they're truly so often mitigating problems by toggling a VPN (instead of, say, just waiting a couple minutes), but hey, they swear by it.

> Well you definitely want to use hardcode paths in some scripts. For example those that call sudo.

I can agree that there are cases for hardcoded paths to executables, but I'd argue that (aside possibly from working around the bad behavior of other tools) there's almost never a need for hardcoded paths to install folders, and that there's absolutely never a reason to use un-escaped variables in a path name.

I suspect what stops this from being a universal feature of plants is the energy required to fix nitrogen. A plant is better off not trying to do that. Especially since if nitrogen is a limit then other nutrients are probably close behind.
I'd never heard of Kate and wondered if someone could explain what Kate's differentiator is versus other popular editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs, VSCode)? Is there something in particular that sets it apart or is it just a matter of taste?

You could try using Amazon S3 Express, a low-latency alternative for S3 buckets [0]. I imagine cache invalidation would be relatively simple to implement using lifecycle policies.

If the goal is to put a security boundary within the process between libraries, there might be better ways to do it than process boundaries. One approach is to wasm sandbox library code. Firefox apparently does this - compiling some libraries to wasm, then compiling the wasm back to C and linking it. They get all the benefits of wasm but without any need to JIT compile the code.

Another approach would be to leverage a language like rust. I’d love it if rust provided a way to deny any sensitive access to part of my dependency tree. I want to pull a library but deny it the ability to run unsafe code or make any syscall (or maybe, make syscalls but I’ll whitelist what it’s allowed to call). Restrictions should be transitive to all of that library’s dependencies (optionally with further restrictions).

Both of these approaches would stop the library from doing untoward things. Way more so than you’d get running the library in a separate process.
You should use a commercial VPN.

Are there any non_commercial VPN's.

Especially if they have been independently audited.

I love VPN's.

windscribe, its not even a catchy name.

Windscribe have “no identifying logs".
Thats dodgy logging, like the ones that get stuck in the U-bend and refuse to move after multiple flushes.
afaik some free vpn providers use your own connection to offer residential ips for scrapping services or other vpn users.

I know I read a article about one where they at least routed some other traffic through the vpn app, but I can't find the article anymore.

It's definitely not the case that the whole world knows that. I have recently been told by someone that European green policies are useless and manipulative since there are 7 billion other people in the world who pollute. The notion that not everyone pollutes the same never crossed their mind.
Right. I think Redis hitting the disk would be a terrible tradeoff compared to making a new backend call. it probably wouldn't save you much time and I imagine it would lead to very strange and unpredictable behavior on the front end or trying to debug latency or data issues downstream
It's just a computer, and a fairly compact one at that.

> > any problem with the lack of hard engineering, science, math, …

> To be fair, that does exclude quite a lot of problems.

I had some trouble parsing the comment, but I eventually settled on the reading that it means what it literally says, a problem caused by the lack of engineering in computer engineering, of science in computer science, and of math in "computer math" (a phrase I have never heard), rather than a problem other than hard engineering, science, and math, which I agree with you excludes an awful lot of problems.

I think this kind of AI "enhancement" is where CGI was in the 90s. It might be state of the art tech, but it's still very unrefined, and in ten or twenty years these remasters will look painfully dated and bad.
This is probably my favorite field for future ML development. It both covers the areas where we are weakest (compositionality, planning), but also is feasible for training (easy to generate samples and create objective functions, vs. say IRL tasks), and is immensely valuable if we succeed.

If an ML engineering agent that is actually comparable to a human is developed, things are going to we weird. fast.
The video title is “x86 needs to die” so the HN re-word is highly editorialized.
Digital Ocean droplet and Tailscale?
If atmospheric nitrogen dropped by half, I'd imagine the effects would be pretty significant for aircraft, birds & internal combustion engines. Rocket launches would become more efficient (less drag), but reentry would be more challenging, w/ less overall drag & proportionally more oxidizing effect when aero-braking

Most engines would probably run hotter & weaker w/out as much nitrogen to use as a working fluid (maybe we'd compensate for this w/ water injection & get even better performance though?)

The speed of sound would decease slightly, while the speed needed to generate lift at a given altitude would increase. This would definitely affect airplanes, e.g. a plane that can cruise at 15k feet but not 30k feet might not be able to reach 15k feet anymore
vim and emacs are TUI; Kate is a GUI app.

VSCode is a full-fledged IDE; Kate is much simpler. Think of it as comparable to TextEdit or notepad.exe, but with more features.

It's definitely trending in the VSCode direction, but VSCode is full of surveillance and corporate API clients, and Kate is not.
Sharding doesn't help here at all. They'd still need the same amount of RAM to house all the data in redis.
> What you're missing here is that if I were to keep my own records, I would also list two accounts.

The passage you quoted is from an earlier comment, so you are responding to something way out of context.

Let's rewind:

> Unlike the bank, your account at the utility company represents how much you owe them. So the meaning of debit/credit is reversed, but so is the direction of responsibility: your account at the utility provider is money you owe them, which is an asset.

No. There is no such thing as "an asset" without further qualification. The money you owe the utility company is an asset to them, but to you it's a liability. This is true for all financial instruments, including cash. Cash is an asset to its owner, a liability to society at large. So...

> The cash itself isn't both things- it's only ever an asset.

No, cash is a liability to society at large. The bookkeeping for this happens at the central bank. See:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_frliabilit...

"The major items on the liability side of the Federal Reserve balance sheet are Federal Reserve notes (U.S. paper currency)..."

It'd be a convenient add-on for the $2 licensing (IIRC) it costs for the port, so you can use common displays. I'd expect displayport to be more likely to be added though.

Sadly, I think part of the HDMI licence means you can't put analogue outputs on a device with a HDMI port after a certain year. (2014, I think. It was before then that I read that)
> But someone who uses their desire of money as a catalyst for bringing world change via a new product, service, knowledge, is well found in their desires and implementation, as they are making the world better while achieving their goals.

For what it's worth – and I think it is a worthwhile thing to note – I do not believe that Jesus would condone this.

To Christ, the root of "well-founded" behavior is the golden rule – treat others as you would want yourself to be treated. This comes from the Sermon on the Mount.

Capturing value (a requirement to satisfy the desire for money) from exchange with your customers is not how you would want to be treated, as a customer. If you become wealthy from this exchange, you are violating the Golden Rule.

This sentiment is corroborated elsewhere, with another a famous saying of his that's often "explained away" but should probably be taken seriously.

Martin Luther (of Lutheranism) has some interesting writings/interpretations on this subject [1], if you're interested.

Edit just to make it clear in a TLDR; the severity of the "money is the root of all evil" translation is warranted. I'd interpret the "all kinds of evil" translation as "every kind of evil", rather than "many kinds of evil" (which is how we colloquially interpret 'all kinds' in contemporary english).
I appreciate the focus of the article and the explanations laid out for us. I would like to point out though that the two photos used as the "Less Polluted" and "More Polluted" examples may not fit the descriptions.

Less Polluted shows a point in a city after a rain shower. The passage of a storm front tends to leave the air behind it more clean that it was before it arrived. That example makes the most sense.

More Polluted does not make sense when you look at the photo since it obviously shows a storm front making it's way across a city, maybe the same one in the "Less Polluted" example. That storm is cleaning the air as it passes and the buildings in the foreground look like the storm has already passed. To me that means that the air from the photographer's vantage point should be clean already. It isn't possible to know whether you are looking east at dawn or west at sunset but either way that storm has passed, bringing clearer air to the city.

A better example would be a photo of that same city on a cloudless summer day when the air is choked with smog and those who care are wishing for a nice storm like the one pictured to sweep through and clean it all up.
I’m in Canada. If there were enough doctors that doctor unemployment was 2%+, like a normal job, doctors here would get paid less. Also doctors might not burn themselves out working crazy hours.

Instead, we have a dire shortage of doctors and people in government employed full time trying to recruit the limited supply.

Doctors can’t move to the next hospital for more pay, but they can move to the next province, or to the US.
This could be useful for bootstrapping a shared-nothing cluster or a disaster recovery node. A comparable amount of space in a storage array might occupy a 2-4U chassis, which would be somewhat less convenient to transport.

This thing isn't going to be cheap, so you'd probably want a more frequent transfer to justify it. Maybe sneaker net database journals or backups every week?
Exactly. Is there anyone whose primary use case for a personal VPN is not "Geofence bypass for region-locked content"??

Whenever a state in the US passes a new "we need your ID to watch porn" law, sales of personal VPNs must predictably skyrocket in that state.
Yeah, it's explained in the code[1]

SQLite only allows one writer at a time, so concurrent writes will fail with a "database is locked" (SQLITE_BUSY) error.

There are two ways to enforce the single writer rule:

1. Use a mutex for write operations.

2. Set the maximum number of DB connections to 1.

Intuitively, the mutex approach seems better, because it does not limit the number of concurrent read operations. The benchmarks show the following results:

- GET: 2% better rps and 25% better p50 response time with mutex

- SET: 2% better rps and 60% worse p50 response time with mutex

Due to the significant p50 response time mutex penalty for SET, I've decided to use the max connections approach for now.

Furthermore, they use their VPN clients as proxies and sell access to their network to scrapers and botnetters. Usually the rule of thumb is that if you're not paying, you're the product, but in this case they manage to double dip. That's where the real funding comes from.

You're trying to get redis to be what it isn't. Use a thing that has the properties you want: a document or relational database.

Hey, (clerk founder) why do you think Clerk's pricing is predatory? Our goal is to continually lower prices and be as affordable as possible. Outside the free plan, it starts at $25 for the first 10k MAUs. Eventually we want auth to be as close to free as possible, while selling addt. services built on top of auth/users.

Also, the clerk service has layered integrations, powered by an http layer. We have customers using each part of the layer for varied integration types. That being said, the SDKs for the spa frameworks are the easiest to use.

How about having two pools, one for writes only, and the other one for reads? SQLite allows you to open the DB more than in one thread per application, so you can have a read pool and a write pool with SetMaxConnections(1) for better performance. This of course also means that reads should be handled separately from writes in the API layer too.
Why would it cost that much? A 30TB nvme costs about $3k. You need 12 of those, so that’s like 36k. Add another $4k for the rest of the hardware and the case. Plus a little overhead since it’s a branded item, it shouldn’t be more than $50k.

Throw specifications do not change function call binding behavior.

Move constructor and move operator will bind to an R-value reference if the move constructor or move operators are available. Conversely, if those functions which declare to not throw anything do end up throwing something then the result is std::terminate.

The only things that determine whether to use a move or copy is whether the reference is an R-value and whether the source or destination is const.

You can declare a {const R-value move operator (not a constructor) for the left-hand} and/or {const R-value move operator or constructor for the right-hand side} of the argument. But you won't be able to modify anything not marked mutable. You shouldn't do that though: that's a sure way to summon nasal demons. That said, I see it fairly often from less experience engineers, particularly when copy-pasting a copy operator intending to modify it for a move operator.
