Cool to see that Supabase is adding S3 protocol! Nice to see more and more storage solutions available.

We, at Milvus, I've integrated S3, Parquet and other ones to make it possible for developers to use their data no matter what they use.

For those who have used both, how do you find the performance and ease of integration compares between Supabase and other solutions like Milvus that have had these features for some time?
That's not a dictatorship.

And FWIW, only a minority of adult citizens could vote in the US until 1920. That was bad but it was not a dictatorship.
Probably because these other manufacturers have more than 4-5 models.
I'm still confused. Who is paying Amazon? Is it

2. I buy storage from Amazon and you provide managed access to it?

There's a ton of that crap no doubt, and I'm sure this recall will produce more of it, but this news story and headline seems totally fine to me.
I have given up on the idea of a clean home dir a long time ago. I have "networked" directories (pCloud,Dropbox) in my home for everything I care for, and those are organized "perfectly".

Additionally I symlink .vimrc and .gitconfig to a git repos. Then everything else in my home dir can be total garbage, it no longer matters. The big plus is that if a machine dies I can be back in business in minutes on another one.
I follow the above advice. My personal stuff is in $HOME/$MY_FIRSTNAME.

I can organize this directory any way I want to, e.g. by project, time, purpose, whatever. It’s my stuff.

The stuff in $HOME is then more “the computer’s stuff.” (E.g., on MacOS, Photos, Desktop, Downloads - that’s where the computer dumps that stuff.) The other place is where I put things.

This turns out to work quite well. It allows me to be unconcerned when some application wants to put something in $HOME.
The closest thing I have seen to this (which isn't that close) is the UI debug viewer in Xcode. You can get an exploded-view diagram of all the UI elements that you can rotate in 3D space. No lighting or shadows though and its limited to apps you have debug access to.

I think the Amazon Fire phone also tried something similar in real time with several front facing eye tracking cameras and the gyro+accelerometer to shift the phone UI and simulate a 3D view with parallax. The old mobile Safari tab view also used to shift the tabs based on the phone's orientation.

I would love to see a "globally illuminated" UI someday, even if it's impractical. Something like all those Windows renders the Microsoft Design team put out, but in real time. Totally impractical and a poor use of electricity, but it would be cool to have path traced, soft drop-shadows.
fwd2cal – forward email, get calendar event. thats it
There are lots of cases, especially in say marketing images, where the entire screenshot is not the content. You may want to highlight a specific bit of UI while still keeping the general background context instead of cropping into a small image.

This lets you click a portion of the screenshot to bring into focus.

At the end of the day it's a fun toy web app, but I don't think the general concept is useless.
We heard a lot about Toyota bz4x lug nuts and that recall was smaller than this cybertruck recall.
I'd probably vote for compromise. It's really hard to tell people not to use their phones to read email, read a website or paper, etc. in most circumstances. You can reasonably ban laptop use (which probably also has the side effect of people not camping out for as long). I'm not sure banning a smartphone/Kindle/tablet looks all that different from banning reading entirely other than possibly resulting in a different mix of clientele.
I’ve found in general (from a few years back, not based on this submission) that the arguments of the low-carb camp are very convincing. Fat is an essential macro. carb-sugar is entirely optional.

> With all of the keto grifters on the internet, I suspect this is merely a pendulum-swing to another mistake.

You suspect. In a vacuum (without data) this pendulum-swing argument is equally convincing as both carbo-macros-are-good and fat-macros-are-good. You don’t get any extra points for seemingly taking a step back and concluding it’s-all-the-same. Exactly because it’s just “I suspect”.

The grift in keto seems entirely optional. You can eat low-carb or keto based on things you get at the supermarket.

> Industry wants to move product.

We have to eat. So I guess anything but calorie-deficit or photosynthesis can be accused of being a grift?

I ran across this in Taiwan: Contested Democracy Under Threat, which came out from Columbia University press last fall.

Of course, you might not want to buy an expensive book from a university press. But a there seem to be a range of googleable resources on the web that discuss this, for example, from the Harvard University Asia Center:

"After the wreck of the U.S.S. Rover in 1867, for example, the Chinese disclaimed accountability for the slaughter of the crew on the grounds that "the Americans were not murdered in Chinese territory, or on Chinese seas, but in a region occupied by savage tribes .... The savage region does not come within
the limits of our jurisdiction. "

You genuinely believe that the United States is #1 in the world for lowest per capital w.r.t. police problems like corruption and brutality?

Where does that belief come from? Do you just default to thinking that the US is the best, or is this opinion based on some sort of life experience?

Like can you not conceive of another country where the kinds of things that go on in America with police are not routine?

Have you been to another country? Have you ever just walked down the street somewhere else? I've been to many countries, one of which is America and holy shit I can tell you that the police there are weird.

The title claims it makes calculus easy, and yet there is no category theory.

"How can this be possible?!" I hear you ask.

Well, the book was written in 1910, 50 years before category theory appeared.

But do not worry! There is a book that uses categories to develop ordinary differential and integral calculus!

What could be easier than that? I don't know! But if I find it, I'll let you know!

I am involved with software that moves data between construction ERP systems and financial systems. Typically used in mid market commercial companies.

The single most commonly synced entity is Commitment Change Order items.
I mean, I would say no one understands that system. I mean I pride myself in trying to understand these systems and consume as much information as possible in the time that I have, and I quickly I realize the amount of complexity of the modern world is far beyond what a human could ever consume.

With that said, I realize that said systems exist and attempting to handwave their complexity away with a simple "I can do that myself" simply will not work and lead to disastrous consequences.
It seems like you are implying it is incorrect or incomplete - do you have any evidence to the contrary or context to add?
> In an ICE car this is not the case

That hasn't been true for a number of years. Almost all ICE cars on sale today will cut the throttle if you hit the brake.
History shows we need regulation of medical trials.

We can and should continually improve the system of regulation we have in place.

We must not throw out the system completely, as that will likely result in a regression to previous behaviors and outcomes (which we've already determined were wrong).
No... I've been a maintenance worker.
If you needed "Engineering" to help you fix every problem you faced everyday in a production line, the Engineer would need to come to work with you every day.
If you stopped the production line until "someone higher up" came down to approve your changes, you'd better make sure you have a strong reason to do so as the company will be losing millions while you wait :).

You just solve problems all the time, every day, and it's really up to the technician to know when something requires notifying Engineering or not. Notify too much and they'll get rid of you for being annoying... notify too little and shit like this can happen, but in the very large majority of cases, it doesn't.
Putting the data concerns aside, the way China blocks countless American apps and yet at the same time basically gets free rein to compete in America with similar apps is a free trade violation and anticompetitive. It doesn’t make sense to allow from an economic standpoint.

Not gp but I prefer rust to python and I'm itching to try that "just write your build scripts and stuff in rust too"

Sure the builds are slow and Python _kinda_ has static typing, but rust just has a lot of stuff I like and it's practical to install and use natively without learning all the jargon like venvs and eggs and wheels and which package manager and package manager manager (rye?) to use this year

I tried Python years ago and never got the motivation to push through that learning curve. I've used c++ a lot but it always required me to "keep my hands inside the ride at all times". Rust feels like it actually wants to be easy to use

Sounds to me like you yourself support the killing of kids (both Israeli and Palestinian), to further the Palestinian cause.

The war could end in an instant if Hamas surrendered and returned all hostages. Not something you would like to see happen though, and not something the protesters ever call for. I wonder why?

Planning and infrastructure failed during Maui wildfires
The most complex, demanding and cutting edge computational fields - Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Real-time multi-user Gaming, High frequency Trading, Rendering/Animation, High Performance Computing, Compiler infrastructure (LLVM) - are all at the core written in C++ for the most part. There is no other option in the foreseeable future as the investment needed to rewrite (if you can find the people) is in the $100's of billions. So you will need to know C++ if we want to be the cutting edge and need extreme performance.

On the other hand, if you don't need these "hard-core" features then any language will do. In fact, most of these have Python or other language interfaces so you don't need to know much C++.
> You have written this as if this doesn't routinely happen to every auto manufacturer. Why?

I bought a porridge with sugar in it for my 2yo once by accident.

It was really annoying to make him eat ordinary porridge afterwards, so I guess the sugar is much about fooling the parents into believing the kid does not like the non-sugar product.

If you don't read the ingridients list you wont realize there is sugar.

A nurse once made him stop crying when he was to take a vaccine by sticking her finger in his mouth. I was flabbergasted by such a simple trick working so great, until she said she had sugar on the finger.

Sugar is a cheat code for parenting.

The infrastructure and technology is certainly not here now and the infrastructure won't be widely used for 10 years at least. I will let you all be the beta testers.

I'm not particularly pro-China, but countries have rules for companies who want to operate in their territory, like it or not.

Every time a country that is not the US enforces rules – be it the EU, Brazil, China or whomever else – HackerNews gets fired up for basically no reason. It's the price of doing cross-border business. Companies always have the option to pull out of the country if that's too much compromise.
Having sat on a board of a 501(c)(3) organization before, it does indeed sound like a collapse of funding for their operating model, which is unfortunate for such a worthy mission. I've always wondered how well US-based donation-funded organizations placed in such a situation would fare with the following pitch to their donors, and would like others who have sat on more such boards for most of their lives to help me understand why funding models are so aggressively donation-driven year-to-year such that it exposes them so much to economic headline risk: everyone is cognizant of the economic precarity facing us all, how about we ask for one last donation until the Federal Reserve declares we're out of the (next) recession, we'll go into hibernation if necessary (only filing paperwork to keep the organization alive on paper, with a static web presence, and responding to inquiries with unpaid volunteers), but we'll dollar cost average the donation funds into a broad market index fund as we go into this economic slowdown on a timetable you agree to, only perform a 2% Safe Withdrawal Rate, we'll survive through this together, and once we're officially out of the recession and a year past that, only then we'll go around shaking the tin can for donations again.

Much of what I've cited (would you like links?) could be a maximalist position. Oct 7th was fishy, this is reported in Israeli media as well. The point is annexation. It would be built atop the blood of children and some will celebrate this.

I just tried variations and weirdly it fails many of them like:

"bob has 7 sisters, each sister has 4 brothers. How many brothers does bob have?"

-----------------

Llama 70b instruct (wrong)

A classic lateral thinking puzzle!

At first glance, it seems like a straightforward math problem, but wait...

If each of Bob's 7 sisters has 4 brothers, that would mean each sister has Bob and 3 other brothers, right? But that's not possible, because Bob is the only brother!

So, the correct answer is: Bob has no brothers. He has 7 sisters, and each of them has him as their only brother.

Did I get it right?

-----------------

GPT-4 (correct)

To solve this, let's consider the family structure:

Bob has 7 sisters.
Each of these sisters has 4 brothers.
Since all the sisters have the same number of brothers, and these brothers include Bob, this implies Bob has 3 other brothers. Therefore, including Bob, there are 4 brothers in total. Hence, Bob has 3 brothers.
> That's the SOP for ICE cars if accelerator is stuck.

That is totally wrong. Most/all cars won't even go into neutral if the throttle is pinned. Your best option, always, is to mash the brake pedal as hard as you possibly can. It will win every time, even if the car doesn't have throttle cutoff.
I doubt you can learn much out of tweened flat cutouts beyond fitting polynomials to data points. The difficulty with full animation is rotation & deformation you can't do at all with cutouts. (Puppet warp/DUIK cutouts are much less rigid than Flash but the above still applies)

Is "Irresponsibility" I feel -- without any true blame / shame though.

Complex work is hard.

Self-management is a big, under-appreciated part of that.

So Irresponsibility maybe not on the individual Worker's shoulders, but on all of us for under-appreciating the risky challenges of being a motivated worker in a complex job.

yeah IDK if the Worker is to blame, seems like an obvious design flaw, e.g. they should not rely on 'soap' to keep a flat pedal cover attached to another flat pedal.
