New record: I created a 300-node Kubernetes cluster in 11 minutes
This is with the new version not yet released of my tool https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s.

It uses k3s as Kubernetes flavor and Hetzner Cloud as provider. For this test I used extremely high concurrency so the tool hung twice in the middle of the process because I was hitting the Hetzner API too hard, so I had to interrupt it and continue.

Excluding the time it paused/hung due to the API, I calculated around 11 minutes total for the cluster creation. This includes:

- creating all the resources (cloud instances, firewall, load balancer for the Kubernetes API)

- deploying k3s to the control plane (3 masters) and the 297 worker nodes

- installing the Hetzner Cloud Controller Manager, to link K8s nodes to the cloud instances as seen by the Hetzner control panel and be able to provision load balancers out of the box

- installing the Hetzner CSI driver, to be able to provision block storage volumes out of the box

- installing the Cluster Autoscaler, to allow configuring autoscaling node pools

- installing the Rancher System Upgrade Controller, to handle k3s upgrades very easily

I believe this is a world record, or at least I have never heard of a tool managed or not to create clusters that comes even close to mine in terms of speed. Am I wrong? I would be curious to hear if there is a tool even faster than mine.

Of course not many people need to create clusters with 300 nodes from the get go, but it was a fun experiment. In the version I will release in the coming few weeks (v2.0) I will likely limit concurrency to more sane levels to reduce the risk of hitting the Hetzner API too hard, although most people will create small clusters to begin with. During my testing, I was able to create a cluster without hanging etc with max 100 nodes. Beyond that it almost always hangs and there are retries to create/power on cloud instances. So yeah I am going to limit the concurrency just in case to perhaps 10 or 20 servers per time for real life use.

What do you think of this? Let me know! I am curious to hear feedback or any comments on the subject :)
I'm not very comforted by the idea that our government won't censor content from other countries as long as we aren't looking at it. If the content is legal, it should be allowed.
Sorry. I thought that was from the link .

Guess technically, since shade is cooler, then if the temperature was X and shade is (X-shade), then if wet bulb was at 95, then you could go into some shade to get cooler. Or, since wet bulb is at 95 is same in sun and shade, then if it is at 95 deg in shade you are in danger, and if you walked into the sun, you'd be in even more danger.

or to try and say another way. Temperature is Temperature, and if in Sun you are probably hotter. But wet bulb 'limit' would be same, and you'd hit the limit faster in the sun.
most likely never is the answer.
True and so sad!
I think the fear goes: today this is high-urgency spin about a bill which is demonstrably capable of affecting the behavior of hundreds of thousands. Tomorrow this is high-urgency spin about whatever TikTok wants, who can be more-or-less coerced to publish lots of things that would be detrimental to the US.
I think the issue is that China can use TikTok to run publicity campaigns to sway the voters into supporting policies or political candidates they like. They can do it more effectively with executives residing in China.

The US government won’t be able to do the same thing with the two party systems and with more checks and balances.
To the extent taking notes on a video without permission is a thing?

The outcome is not competing with the source video. Anyone's who's interested in the topic would likely still choose which video they want to delve into further.
Once again, thank you 'mitchellh for Vagrant, I'm sure you have heard this many times before but it really changed the way we worked for the better in every way.
Aha! Great - I tried it with my Wacom tablet and you are correct, that is way better. And it still had the sketch from my prior session, so that is likewise really cool.
I write about his work on this website to bring notice to his work, because I don't believe Scholze and I'm not going to read Mochizuki (If I did, it would be his original actual contribution to algebraic geometry (and I don't know why I don't read Scholze but its scary mmkay)). So I mentioned that Joshi was from the IAS for the same reason, to convince my readers to read his work.

Further edit: I guess he's at Arizona right now, but he was at IAS at some point....
Gpt4: Search the web to answer the question Which episode of Gilligan’s Island was about mind reading?

The episode of "Gilligan's Island" about mind reading is titled "Seer Gilligan." It is the nineteenth episode of the second season and first aired on January 27, 1966. In this episode, Gilligan gains the ability to read minds after eating sunflower seeds found on the island.
Just because it doesn’t say “ban” doesn’t mean its not one. It is well known that China lists algorithms and AI models trained on citizen data as a non-export so tiktok will never be able to sell to anyone other than a Chinese company unless they retrain the model etc.

The CEO has mentioned that they will simply pull out of the US market.
Causing thousands of Americans to unknowingly act in the interest of the CCP is not the manipulation Congress is afraid of? In what universe?
Evaporative cooling is one of physics's great magic tricks.

Basically, when we talk about a substance's temperature, that temperature is the average temperature of the system.

Temperature is just "how quickly are the atoms/molecules here jiggling?" When the atoms/molecules collide, some of them speed up, some slow down. That means that some atoms are "hotter" than the average temperature, and some are cooler.

Liquids have a certain energy above which a molecule is ejected from the puddle. This is evaporation.

Even if the average temperature (read: energy) is below that threshold energy, some molecules are moving faster, because they have collided with other molecules in just the right way. Those fast molecules get ejected. Evaporation!

But now that the puddle lost the fast (read: hot, read: high energy) molecules, the average energy of the system is lower. The whole thing cools down!

In dry environments, it's possible for sweat to evaporte (cool) at a rate that is faster than the rate at which your body heats up from hot colliding air.

In humid environments two things happen: evaporation slows down, and you heat up faster.

So there is a combination of temperature & humidity at which, if either of those parameters is exceeded, you gain heat faster than you lose it.
Revenue down from last quarter but q4 is usually good for adtech I think. Next quarters guidance seems decent to me but I guess market was expecting more. q1 2023 was definitely a bit of a low point for meta so the yoy stats might be a bit misleading but hard for me to be upset about anything here. Ad impressions up 20% again somehow lmao
That can be argued, but they're pretty esoteric. For example, what language are they written in? Fortran, assembly, etc.? Probably nothing the majority of developers or mathematicians can't understand. And creating bindings for them is non-trivial. I don't even know where to start from the website. And on the website, all the links to the routines are broken. https://www.netlib.org/blas/
> Seattle Times: Computer Pioneer's Death Probed -- Kildall Called Possible Victim Of Homicide

> Kildall was injured at the Franklin Street Bar & Grill on July 8 but refused medical treatment. He was taken to a hospital the following day and released. But he was readmitted Sunday and died the following day.

> Kildall could have died either from a blow to the head or from hitting his head as he fell, said Sollecito.

> The first description of the incident at the bar, he said, was that Kildall had been in the bar between two to 20 minutes. Then witnesses "turned around, and he was on the floor," the sergeant said.

> But Sollecito said stories are changing. "That version isn't going to hold up," he said.

The source of that story seems to be the Monterey Police Department, but nothing came of the investigation.

Maybe even the double-integral, since the plotted variable is node-number, not length. Integrating once would give node length as a function of height along the stalk, and then integrating a second time (times wall thickness) would give weight.

> Lawfully owned and carried firearms are used defensively something like 10x more than in the commission of crimes.

That's citing the maximum of the CDC estimate; the low end of that same estimate paints a more sobering picture.

If you take the lower end of the estimate, another way of saying it would be "nearly 40% of the interactions involving this product are used illegally." We strongly regulate things that have a much smaller chance of causing harm than firearms.

> Sure, just like providing food to starving people is the best way of helping them. Unfortunately, things are rarely so simple and black-and-white, right?

Your argument here is, what - it's not "so simple and black-and-white" to provide food to the hungry? I happen to think it is that simple, and black-and-white: there is no good reason that anyone on this planet goes hungry. We have more than enough resources to go around. I find any suggestion to the contrary to be deeply morally abhorrent.

I built some backend CRM stuff at a previous job on Zoho and was consistently amazed at how great it was. Everything "just worked" and was surprisingly well thought out. It lacks some of the polish that can make it feels fully "complete" but my experience with it was generally very positive.
Considering IBM sided with the fork, I suspect it'll be reverted for most or all of Hashicorp's projects.
Then I’m deeply sorry, as you’re disconnected from a deep well of non-rational (really ‘not ok to acknowledge socially’ but rational) protective instincts. It makes everything much harder. That’s why you’re having to compensate with relatively expensive rational analysis.

Personally, I’ve found EMDR to be helpful to reconnect, but it’s not an easy road. And it may not be applicable here either.
Correct - this sort of thing was basically over-and-done by the mid 90s.
Not unexpected, I saw a comment a ways back when they started with the BSL stuff that it had nothing to do with terraform, but was a response to IBM selling Vault.

> Is China really a foreign adversary?

Only in election years.
Meh, foreign tech companies still can't even operate in China. The only way even things like iCloud exist there is because Apple literally handed it over to be owned and operated by the Guizhou government.
The law doesn't ban them from having Chinese owners.

It bans American companies from providing services that distribute, maintain or update any sufficiently popular apps substantially owned or controlled by foreign adversaries.

TikTok could host APKs from CCP headquarters if they want to.
It'd be even nicer if they could use supercritical CO2 as a working fluid rather than water. Geothermal energy isn't of as much utility if it contributes to drought conditions.
Why not both? As it stands X platform is run by a pathological liar that has cozied up to the ADL to get the activist Pro-Israel community off his back. Many users many not prefer to use that platform because of these issues. The more options for people the better. What people seem to be forgetting is that TikTok is not the only market player. To single them out is absurd in this context.
I must be some sort of freak.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s listening to classic rock, and a lot of it I can’t even stand any more due to the incredibly small playlists that most classic rock stations use.

In my 20’s I started listening to a lot of classical and then jazz. In the 90’s a lot of grunge which’s I still love. After that was trance in the 2000’s, then ambient, techno and IDM after that. I still listen to all of these genres today depending on my mood.
> Why are you so sure that criminal liability ends with the driver?

I'm not. But it would be precedent setting. Given this case has the driver admitting to cops that he was distracted in a way Tesla's user manual presumably tells you not to be, I'm not sure I'd start here.

> pedantic point: the driver is civilly liable to the estate

You're right, I was being loose with my words.
DOS had nothing to do with graphics and sound. All that was at the application level. DOS provided the command line (your shell), the filesystem, and a few basic abstractions. Generally speaking applications didn't boot the OS out since they still used it to access files etc.
Back when I was a kid, the Australian Open in Melbourne, already in summer, was plagued by periods where they stopped play due to heat.

Filling the void and dead air time, commentators resorted to demos like "frying an egg on center court" to show just how hot it was.
And yet every one of those platforms allows China, Russia, or any others who do want to topple western powers abuse them. They know their algorithms push the most extremist divisive content it can find to drive views/engagement and they know full well that while they're stuffing their pockets with cash they're also threatening our mental health, our safety, and our democracy. US owned social media platforms might not be dead set on ending America, but they'll happily help that along if it'll increase next quarter profits and they don't have to pay more humans to moderate or fact check.
A Precheck line has to be substantially longer than the regular line to be slower. Not only is there not as much that each passenger has to do, but overwhelmingly they are frequent fliers who know the routine for screening.

Can someone explain why the previous "ban" was blocked but this wasnt? As I recall TikTok filed for an injunction and they argued it was unconstitutional (violated the 5th ammendment) and the injunction was granted. Then Biden rescinded the executive order and it ended there.
I’m not sure it’s a good business strategy, but I am glad to see ad money fueling more interesting tech than more profitable ads.
I asked you to substantiate it, not repeat exactly the same point again.
Amazing accidental perspective on how little the typical business person or journalist understands about programming and gen ai. You can see how they think the hard part of programming is writing code, which, of course, is false. The hard part is writing the correct code and maintaining it.

I can’t wait until prompt engineering as a profession completely dies out. Its total vapor ware and its existence promotes problematic ideas about what AI is capable of
Intel and RISC-V at odds lately.

It is also quite odd how SiFive announced a new development board using a non-Intel chip and a year later than expected, when we were previously told it'd be an Intel chip.
Yes, higher order math does not include arithmetic, that should not be confusing.

To be honest I suspect the next scientific revolution would be a refutation of Church-Turing, or maybe something more like an extension of it to phenomena we are not closely studying yet, a bit like my understanding of the relation between Newtonian mechanics, and General Relativity and Quantum mechanics. Unfortunately that won't be me bringing that revolution about, so you won't get to say you exchanged views with a scientific legend :P

For the time being of course we can agree that our brains probably do some kind of maths, as far as we understand it. I'm guessing the way we understand maths has everything to do with the way our brains understand maths because, well, that's my position in our disagreement. But, see, I can do maths by counting on my fingers, so the question is really what kind of maths we're talking about and how complex can they realistically be. My argument is that if it's not the kind of maths a standard human being can calculate very quickly without pen or paper, then that's a no-go, because that leaves plenty of time to be eaten by a sabretooth, or what have you.

Even on crappy old junk headphones, still an awesome song that I don't think I'll ever get tired of.

Granted, I don't generally let services make a playlist for me, and I don't beat the old songs to death. I like more variety than that.

I have however, rolled my eyes when listening to services that have an "80's rock" or "top 90's songs" only to have them play the exact same dozen-or-so songs that they did the last time I visited that channel. No thanks!

That's also probably one of the reasons I rarely listen using a service-generated playlist/channel. I think they are maximized for the service's profit, not for the listener's enjoyment.

> For example, how would they address it?

The same way that the government addresses most issues. They tell people not to do something, and if they refuse then they get fined, their assets frozen and confiscated, and eventually people are arrested.

Bytedance would have to withdraw all its assets and employees from anywhere in the west to escape the consequences.
Capitalism has a definition, and you don't get to change it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism

> supposedly non-capitalist countries.

They are State Capitalist. There's no supposition about it. That the governing body is captured by Communist ideologues has no bearing. Hence there are now billionaires operating in China and Russia.

> They existed in the Communist bloc.

They were re-introduced so fast it would make your head spin when Lenin's reforms were shown to be a disaster.

> Capitalism didn't create markets or a market economy.

I did not say so, and this is perhaps where your confusion lies. I said Capitalism is the right to private property and a market economy. I did not say markets are strictly endemic to Capitalism. Although you'll find no scalable one in a liberal democracy devoid of Capitalism.

> We can point to an example of people living co-operatively in, oh I don't know, the article of this submission?

A co-op is not tantamount to a society, it's an employer. The existence of a co-op in itself does not jeopardize the right to private property, or by extension Capitalism.

This is why the quiet part the zealots eventually meander to is "see, we just have to force people to..."

Why's the writer listening to james blunt still, that your beautiful song sucked when it came out too lol

I used to be really into music, writing, releasing, curating everything. But yeah around my 30s idk, i lost interest i guess like any other hobby. I listen to podcasts now when I drive. In my 20s finding music was like hard work. I went through a lot music all the time.

One thing I think is interesting is older music seems to be sticking around more. Like maybe in the 60s and on more timeless music was written? like in 2000, Idk anyone that listened to 40s or really 50s music, music that would be 50-60 years old at the time. But in the 2020s, 1960s, 70s, 80s music is still around. I think still has a lot of cultural relevancy. Or maybe the kids today don't care about the beatles or jimi hendrix? I find that hard to believe though. In 20 more years are we going to say Queen and ACDC sucked and never listen to it again?

What do rebelious kids and angsty teens listen to now? Who are the red hot chili peppers, and weezers and blink182s right now.
It's interesting that Gary was working for Intel when he created CP/M and Intel wasn't interested in it. Then IBM chose the Intel 8088 for their PC. Intel could have offered CP/M to IBM if they'd kept it.
