In a few fields of rust we are starting to see a convergence of lower level libraries that then can be shared amongst the higher level crates. For example, wgpu is seeing broad use across a bunch of libraries from game engines to UI libraries. This then allows the shared libraries to be made more robust, with more shared resources going into them.

Does anyone know how much of this is happening in the matrix/array space in rust? There are several libraries that have overlapping goals: ndarray, nalgebra, etc. How much do they share in terms of underlying code? Do they share data structures, or is anything like that on the horizon?

This is why I said Tailwind reminds me of an ORM. If you properly know the underlying technology, it just gets in the way.

Quiet in the terms of DC grade switching, I'm not sure you could get away with such a switch in a home environment. The 100G optics need plenty of airflow to keep cool so it's not just a case of swapping the fans for something smaller
This is really, really cool and I didn't know the platform was open to the extent that you could install your own upstream Linux and just get going.

I am curious though what configuration option prevents this from ending up with software switching. I understand the mellanox kernel module was compiled and loaded, but certainly that doesn't mean that anything you do in the network stack gets converted to switch fabric code and uses hardware packet switching. How do you make sure that you don't errantly wind up with poor latency and capped throughput?

But also, short of making and selling your own networked device for whatever reason, what are the real benefits of going this approach? I can see crazy use cases for where you have full control of the network stack (but again, see my point above — how do you guarantee you are not doing this in software?) but for most purposes, especially with qsfp and fiber, how much are you really gaining by doing it on-device? What is the killer use case here?

EDIT

Upon rereading, it seems the switch is hard-coded to be hardware-switched and cannot end up in a situation where you are accidentally using software packet switching in the first place (i.e. it does not just optimize to a hardware packet switching state). But that limits what you can do considerably, to the point that an off-the-rack Juniper or CSCO or whatever probably has more features than you can do here without writing your own code to hook into the mellanox sdk?

With the economy slowing and a lot of families feeling the inflation crunch I think traditional US and German automakers are going to be in huge trouble when facing Chinese made EVs in the open market. How could BMW sell a 3 series for $30,000-50,000 when you can buy a BYD HAN for half the cost, while it's arguably more luxurious? At least Tesla can fall back on long term subscription revenue from FSD, the rest of the legacy manufacturers are going to be annihilated.
Cars require hundreds to thousands of microchips these days. Airbags require sensors and circuits. Emission systems require expensive sensors, and engines require complex electronic and mechanical real-time tuning systems to constantly monitor and adjust fuel usage to limit emissions and meet minimum mpg requirements. Automatic transmissions are now extremely complex, including 8 to 10 gears or using CVT to achieve the best fuel efficiency. Backup cameras need a monitor, and it costs more than $200. And now that you must put a monitor in the car, you can't just have it be useless except for a backup camera, so now you have to add a bunch of software features. Meeting emissions requirements means making cars much lighter. This means more expensive composites and materials. This means increased manufacturing and engineering costs to meet structural requirements while designing cars with the least amount of material.

I don't think you realize how simple cars used to be. Engines were extremely simple and purely mechanical, essentially 50 year old technology. Transmissions were simpler, either manual transmissions or ATS with only a handful of gears. Engines and cars were made entirely of cheap steel. You had no expensive screens, no expensive sensors or electronics. You had no expensive research on structural design and materials science. You had no expensive emissions systems. You could fix nearly everything in the car with hand tools.
Socialism (communism?) is usually framed as "workers earning their full worth" but the dirty truth is that it is more "workers earning their preset cut of the pie, which is independent of the work they put in".

So while the shelf-stocker might be earning $24/hr, their actual hard economic output is much less than this - $19/hr. The difference is made up by the salesperson making $26/hr, instead of $31/hr.

Many sales people might be fine with this sacrifice, but even more likely will not, and will tire of being the ones who need to sacrifice.
ParlayANN, Parallel ANN without the use of Locks
As you are graduating from ideas to engineering, one of the key concepts to be aware of is Parallel Computing and Concurrency.

I am SUPER excited to share our 94th Weaviate podcast with Magdalen Dobson Manohar! Magdalen is one of the most impressive scientists I have ever met, having completed her undergraduate studies at MIT before joining Carnegie Mellon University to study Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search and develop ParlayANN. ParlayANN is one of the most enlightening works I have come across that studies how to build ANN indexes in parallel without the use of locking.

In my opinion, this is the most insightful podcast we have ever produced into Vector Search, the core technology behind Vector Databases. The podcast begins with Magdalen’s journey into ANN science, the issue of Lock Contention in HNSW, further detailing HNSW vs. DiskANN vs. HCNNG and pyNNDescent, ParlayIVF, how Parallel Index Construction is achieved, conclusions from experimentation, Filtered Vector Search, Out of Distribution Vector Search, and exciting directions for the future!

I also want to give a huge thanks to Etienne Dilocker, John Trengrove, Abdel Rodriguez, Asdine El Hrychy, and Zain Hasan. There is no way I would be able to keep up with conversations like this without their leadership and collaboration.

I hope you find the podcast interesting and useful!

> Could you imagine EU doing to TikTok what US did?

Since they seem to have no qualms picking fights with big US tech when they run afoul of their regulations...yes. Yes I can absolutely imagine that.

Plus, establishing a homegrown market is not "protectionist politics". It's allowing for, and enabling, competition, which, according to every proponent of capitalism, is a good thing (which is funny, because capitalisms systems actively enable and encourage to stifle competition as muc as possible, because it threatens the bottom line of established players. But I digress).

What is China going to be (officially) angry about? That the EU takes their own money to fund startups and alternatives, in, and for, their own home market?
> The Amish in question are entrepreneurial for sure but that's not capitalism. The Amish keep their surplus labor value. It saddens me to see how fundamentally people misunderstand what capitalism actually is.

wish more people understood the historical roots of the word "entrepreneur". americans conflate business/enterprise/entrepreneurship with capitalism. i think most people would be more open to these ideas if it weren't from the misinformation dating back to the red scare.

Devices are installed where shootings are frequently reported by civilians.

The shootings are usually gang related, not at the police, so I don't see how your theory of heightened policing causes a loop.

The best way to protect the innocent civilians in the area is to increase surveillance and police presence.

Removing police presence is a disservice to the people who are victims of the gang violence in the area. Those people are the ones who call the police and want them there.

Only if you remove the police in areas do you get a feedback loop (no protection, so you join a gang for protection, which leads to more gang violence)

There is a significant cost difference here,

The overall point of the post is that the "packaged solution" is not viable when most switch vendors have what I can describe as "crap" software quality and/or support.

So if you are in the land of simple L2 switching and L3 routing, this switch is amazing because you can escape the crap vendor software.

> If startups are beating you at your game with a tiny fraction of the employees, funding and resource

If you're a huge corporation like Google, you're not even playing the same game as any startup in the first place, and trying to compete with them as if you were is likely to end in tears.

The same is true the other way around. If you're a small company, you're unlikely to beat a major corporation by playing the game that major corporations play.

Being a small company gives strengths and weaknesses that large companies don't have -- and vice versa. Smart companies of any size play to their own strengths rather than trying to play to the competition's strengths.

Not really, but technically yes. "Employee-owned" is being used in a specific way here; it's a specific form of ownership governance. Most often the shares are owned by employees via a trust, which the business funds. None (or mostly none!) of the stock options available to Amazon or Google staff are useful in terms of controlling the business. When someone is using the term "employee-owned business," they are generally referring to a business in which employees have actual control, not just a profit-sharing certificate.

Of course, any publicly-traded company can be 'employee-owned' to whatever degree the employees buy shares. But this term usually indicates something else.

An operating system provides those things, but it's not the only way they could be provided.

Disk drivers could be provided by BIOS/UEFI (and they are) or through some library, or through standard hardware interfaces (AHCI and similar). Same deal for graphics.

Does that need to be bundled with a kernel and a bunch of other stuff? Not strictly. All that other stuff is valuable too, most of the time. Otoh, if you're using the whole computer for one thing, the OS can get in the way, and often isn't providing much you couldn't get as libraries.
Most people working for Amazon don't get stock options, most of Amazon's employees are doing stock management in warehouses, delivery, etc.

Beyond that, stock _options_ aren't stock, and stock _grants_ to employees are often in restricted classes... they're not meaningful employee ownership because they're structured to ensure that they don't represent any kind of employee control over the company.
Ask HN: Recommendations for reducing copyright liability on hosted website
Ok, I know it sounds bad, but hear me out. A friend of mine has a business that keeps getting copyright takedown notices from certain companies on some content. These notices are over-eager and frivolous, but fighting them all is not sustainable.

I’m looking for recommendations on what it would take to host content in a way that these notices could be ignored. E.g. what sort of legal structures, trail covering, domains, registrars, etc. would ignore takedown requests from e.g. US based companies. Specifically I’m thinking how does Pirate Bay or sci- hub manage to stay online, and what would it take do enable that.

I know this sounds like a request to commit illegal activity, and it’s not. This is really a request for advice on how to maintain anonymity of ownership for a website in a way that will provide some shelter against weaponized use of the DMCA.

> if there's a less progressive transportation modality I can't imagine what it would be

Genuinely curious what is meant by this since if I was asked what the most progressive ideal city layout was I'd respond with extensive, highly connected, frequent metro lines with islands of density around the stations that included plenty of non-market rate housing options within easy walk of each station. When more housing is needed extend the lines and start a whole new island of density. Make sure plenty of public green space is accessible from the metros just beyond the density islands.

Inter-city connections would be broadly similar, just zoomed out. Each city an island of density connected by fast and frequent rail.
