Yeah I know of Terraform (for me it was via AWS) but I just wonder how it's that valuable. For personal use, I never drank the koolaid on IaaS to begin with. Always found PaaS to be a nicer experience and I like that it actually simplifies DevOps, doesn't add complexity like an AWS or GCP does. I figure if I want more control over the server I can just use a Linux on-prem (no cost) or virtual server and I can fully control the machine - where IaaS like AWS/GCP just feel like expensive jargon hell with too many products. For a larger org sure, you need regional deployments, IAM, and some other stuff - but mostly stuff that is peripheral to code and its hardware requirements.

My favorite DevOps setup is my Raspberry Pi home server running Raspbian, love this thing - WiFi, touch screen so I can hold it like a mobile device or just set it down somewhere while it's serving several APIs, websites, etc. all the time including a local business in SF. Haven't stopped or restarted it in months.

I look at some of these big, old behemoths, and just don't get it. Take Oracle - when you really get into what they "do" it's like... oh... so, a database? Right now they offer clone services of the other cloud providers too, and some other things, but it's mostly just those huge consulting contracts. I just wonder how they get them (and at those rates) if not for relationships, it doesn't seem like their technology is particularly good.

Personally I run stuff like React sites on Vercel, backends on a mix of my Raspberry Pi and Heroku, and 1 thing still in GCP that I can't wait to port out of there. Still looking for a home for my LLMs. As an individual developer, I will probably embrace PaaS and convenience more and more with regards to DevOps, but yeah interesting to see where open-source Terraform goes - would be cool to see companies doing more customized infra internally instead of everyone using AWS.
Not sure what you're on about, it has nothing to do with being anti-American or not. Twitter is where everyone in Japanese creative industries posts about their work (unlike the West that didn't change when Musk bought the site), it's where the Japanese audience is, and it doesn't hurt that the global audience is there too.

But sure, if you want examples of this trend try searching Pixiv by title for stuff like "twitterまとめ" [1], " or "Xまとめ" [2], meaning a usually monthly compilation of illustrations that were posted to Twitter first. And that doesn't even get into the artists that stopped using Pixiv completely because they got bored of it or their account was banned.

It is what I have been doing for more than a year. It is not difficult but does require some familiarity with network configuration and a bit of hardware hacking if you want to use ESPHome or Tasmota or something like that. I use this to control the solar inverter and a number of appliances. I also read the power meter using a homebuilt reader (which is where the hardware hacking comes in) which I use to control the output of the inverter based on momentary power prices (we have hourly rates and can sell power at market price which also implies we show not send any power if the price happens to go negative).

In other words this is quite doable for those who have some experience in setting up networked equipment. It is not something you'll tell your grandma to do but there is nothing keeping you from setting it up for her since it is a one-time job. It is also more than worth it for the gains in privacy, the reduction in exposure to exploits and the absence of the risks of automatic updates which take away functionality you depend on.

I'm saying it worked but now it doesn't work as well as it did. I don't use the Everywhere group. The Marantz app (or the iPhone app) is absolute shit because it starts at some random volume and goes up or down huge amounts. Instead, I'll use the Tidal app because that at least doesn't fuck with the volume or end up overdriving my mains and 5 kW sub.
Do you have an actual question? Or any evidence that "most people" disagree, or "most people" don't welcome new ideas? Posts about Dropbox from 2007?

Telling readers to shut up and "make something" begs the question, why do so many "makers" post here to get comments and opinions on their handiwork?

Dr. Johnson said "You may scold a carpenter who has made you a bad table, though you cannot make a table. It is not your trade to make tables."
Very impressive demonstration but a terrible mobile experience. For the record, I am using iOS Safari.
The CCP does not care about the marketcap of bytedance, they care about the soft power that tiktok allows them to wield. The CEO of bytedance may want to sell, but the CCP won't let them.
It's a community of millions of people, but which are seen by the millions is subject to the CCP's algorithm.

Just search for "Uighur genocide" and see how many negative Tiktoks you find.

Now go on any western social media platform, search for any contentious topic, and notice what's banned. It's not stuff that's harmful to the government (eg. Gaza/Israel topics) it's stuff that advertisers think is harmful (racism, unlabeled porn, etc.).

Also, restraining from banning a platform because some people can't be arsed to also post to IG reels or other platforms is their own fault as entrepreneurs.
I don't see it that way. Most of my travel (and what I assume is true for the majority) is that they are traveling to a location because of an event, be it work or personal. If I am delayed a day, then there is no longer any reason to travel, because I've missed the meeting or event. Every time this has occurred it is quite problematic.

Conversely, with a hotel, if they overbooked and I cannot stay there, there are usually quite a few locations nearby where I can get a room for a night. I've had this happen a few times and it's never been more than a minor inconvenience.

Close. ATX near downtown in a slapped-together gentrification high-rise. :D

My mom lives around the corner from there though. I was sad when the geniuses at Earth Burger decided to reimagine themselves as a salad kale? burger? bowl shop. The owner has some absurd grand vision but fails to realize Texas fast food requires a giant sign visible from I-35, consistency, and listening to customers.
They do the same sort of thing soliciting volunteers to be bumped from a flight for less in vouchers than they'd be entitled to had they been involuntarily removed.
I'm using the Conestoga wagon as my size of the wagon because it's dimensions I can easily find (see https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digita... for source). It's virtually impossible to find any hard details on wagon sizes online because search for roman wagon sizes and the stupid story pops up instead.

> If those coal mine gauges came from the dynamics of draft horses

I think coal mine haulage was dominated by hand, not by people (one of the reasons they used track technology--tracks make it easier to handle the heavier loads).

> would you agree with this example showing the idea that “anachronistic technology impacts modern standards?”

Not really. As noted, the track gauge wars occurred well into the development of steam technology (so the horse dimensions played no role), and it turns out for a variety of engineering reasons that the sweet spot for railroad track gauge is around 5'. So track gauges aren't based on anachronistic technology.

And also, as I pointed out, the track gauge didn't play a role in determining the size of loading gauge or tunnel width. And no one has actually ever provided any evidence that the people who designed the booster wanted a larger rocket, but couldn't build it because they were limited by the loading gauges. So it's not even clear that any concerns about the ability to transport by rail played a role in determining the size of the booster.

The only thing you have linking anything here to the size of the booster is this statement:

> The railroad from the factory runs through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than a railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

And every single fact in that statement is false: there is a path that doesn't run through a tunnel, so the SRBs don't have to fit through "that" tunnel; and tunnels are not "slightly wider" than railroad track, and railroad track is not "about as wide as two horses' behinds."
In Young Drivers we were taught to choose positions at the intersection which offer an escape route (or to make space by leaving space), and to monitor our rear view mirrors as part of our scanning the intersection and to use the route when needed. Defensive driving isn't perfect, but can mitigate quite a few of risks posed by distracted drivers or buggy autonomous driving technology.
So it's an important commercial route but with no passenger demand? What a geographic oddity! I bet you'd be hard-pressed to find any other examples of that, anywhere.
I must be an outlier - I'm in my 40s and haven't listened to former favorites like Radiohead forever.

Darkwave, Phonk, Witchhouse, Glitch Hop, KPop, and a lot of electronic music that crosses genres are what I listen to now.
SJC is so much better. Honestly it's almost worth going to SJC and taking Caltrain despite the extra time and cost just due to how much nicer it is
yes the Field of Dreams approach to safe street infrastructure does work (if you build it they will come).
There’s a lot of nuance to the answer, but the easy way to understand is:

They don’t host videos for fun, they host videos so you will watch ads. If they can’t sell ads for US$ then they won’t host videos either.
Tiktok isn't in bed with the CCP, it is the CCP.

China is a communist country. State owned industry. The leash they give business "owners" might be long (long enough to fool westerns it's just another USA), but it is still a leash, and they are still under control of the party. No courts, no rights, no lawsuits. Party wants, party takes.
Swiss Airlines also owed me a bunch of money years ago, but I gave up chasing them. I should have used one of the services that takes 25%. 75% is better than zero!

Thank you. This is helpful information on how it works; I did a bunch of googling after your last comment (and went to Crutchfield) but not much explanation how it could work.
YES! That is the tech we should be racing towards. I dream of having a pair of glasses that can display information for me a la Google Glass but not so obvious. I also wish I could record everything I see, and have software analyze it for me later picking out things I might have missed. Creepy and unsettling to everyone else, but I would love it.
> As noted in my citations it is, in fact, 3-5x more dangerous than ground vehicles per distance

I EXACTLY stated: IN USA, aviation safety few times worse than in EU. But when you consider pure numbers, you should understand, that in EU totally different distribution of planes sizes and of airfield sizes. Sure, Frankfurt is safer than ground field somewhere in Austrian Alps, and number of small airfields in USA far exceed any other country.

> They do, but they’ll never tell you that. You have to know.

I think this is not true
I’d guess it’s just because the algorithm is not smart enough and is just looking at the category as a whole and then playing the most played. So Glenn Miller and Count Basie are in the same category, but more Spotify people who listen to that category listen to Glenn Miller.

Maybe one day, they’ll get smaller clusters and lump you in with other listeners who favor black musicians within that category.

This is my problem with these services in that they are very generic and smooth out the outliers. So it’s good for pleasing the 80%, but people with specific tastes are out of luck. Big time regression to the mean.
That's sad. That means they had no diversity in their music.
From the article, it looks like bikes outsize cars so much that this claim is robust to different ways of tabulating comparisons: number of trips, time using vehicle, maybe even distance traveled.
As a shareholder, I was hoping this was finally the quarter where Zuckerberg gave up on the Metaverse... Its just a giant money pit.
The WTO allows China to ban American social networks - which would otherwise be required to be allowed under its general principle of parity - because of its "public morals" exception (https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/repertory_e/g4_...).

I personally don't think that exception should exist and I'm OK banning it solely on trade parity grounds.
Ya, western ethics are a bit harsh. Take the minimum wage, it doesn't just put a bottom on what employers can pay a person, but it puts a bottom on how productive a person must be to get any job at all (lest the job be eliminated as "not worth it"). Similarly so: putting a bottom on housing prevents slums and health hazards, but it deprives some people of housing because they cannot afford this bottom.

On the other hand, it forces people to become better, and most of them do. Social services help and hurt the problem: on the one hand, you won't die quickly if you become addicted to fentanyl, but on the other hand, the lack of immediate harsh consequences can make dipping into drugs appear less risky. On the other hand, in China, where bottoms are non-existent, and social services are very moralistic, if there are any at all, you know doing drugs is pretty much a death sentence. Even becoming a member of the ant tribe won't save you.
Code is simply there to achieve logic set out in the parameters of your issue required to have optimum results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiomatic_design
A perfect prompt to an AI will either result in your bias (understanding/fallical argument) being an issue or a flaw in the training data of the company. I was given lies to children arguments for letting me have an understanding of what would be simpler to get more technically proficient at the thing I requested. It was regarding error handling in early September 2023. I couldn't solve in time for the fixed no consequence deadline the next day, so I turned to a tool that provided a solution outside the realm of my understanding. Which worked. Kind of got the logic but too scared to ask because of consequences of how this went against the rules of my learning. I was just utilising a tool to finish the project. Not using agile teaching, far more waterfall in my opinion.
ChatGPT 4 is not that good for SQL prompts but I have a limited technical knowledge base regarding it.

Ask HN: 16 yo Nephew, in E. Africa, wants to train an LLM with on disk Wikipedia
Hello HN!

My 16 year old nephew lives in an East African nation where there is practically no internet access.

Last week he asked me for advise as to how to go about training an open source LLM using an on disk Wikipedia (~80 GB).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
What the algorithm decided to inform them on.
I spent the afternoon editing a document in Atlassian Confluence ... It reminded me of the old MS-DOS days when I could occasionally out-type the computer (only slower.) I hope they use this to improve their own products!
Cancelled/delayed flights can mess with visa/immigration, mess with events (imagine being the speaker to a conference/doing a tour and then not being able to show up because your flight was delayed or cancelled), and even hotel rooms (some places will void your reservation if you don't show up). Also if you get stuck in an area for an extra day it's effectively the same as having gotten the date wrong on a hotel. I've gotten screwed due to a soccer playoff in the EU once happening the same weekend I was supposed to crash at a friend's place

IDK, they both suck.
Never forget it's about VISA and MasterCard, vote with your wallet.
Hopefully copilot will compete. I mean, it's not exactly new product already and it still:

- tries to insert triple backquote in my code for some weird reason

- does not do continuous code review, highlighting likely errors and typos

- does not do any code edit or delete, only code insert

I want AI to work along with me. I feel that Copilot has huge potential, but this limited UI keeps that potential untapped.
dndkit seemed very promising, until I realized the state of development [0], and critical performance issues if you want to use it for larger lists (individual issues linked within [0]). So it's fine if you need to use it for simple scenarios and a smaller number of items, but otherwise, it's inadequate in current state, unfortunately...The fact that the post was in Aug 2023, perf. issues still remain and there's low activity on issues in general, doesn't bode well...

>I'm a little puzzled as you're describing a music stylist on skin colour, black vs white

You may not realize this, but in the 1930-1950 era being described in America, there was something called "Segregation" where black people were considered legally inferior to white people. As such, there was a very hard line between "black" and "white", a line that was aggressively enforced by every level of society from lawmaking, policing and justice, to radio and TV access, to education, to neighborhoods, and frankly everything else.

With that context, I think it's very easy to see how there can be "black swing" and "white swing" -- it was in a society that forcibly separated everything into "black X" and "white X".
China doesn't actually ban American social networks, not officially at least. They just don't work for some reason due to technical issues. China has never said "we ban Facebook and Google", you just wake up one day and they aren't working anymore.
crux of the problem is the SV model is completely broken and leads to these cycles. wish it were more about sustainable progression and not rapid half-baked innovation to achieve paydays for greedy founders/investors
But for that scenario you normally still get booked on a later flight plus the vouchers, as measly as the value of those might be.
It’s asking me to sign up for the paid ChatGPT subscription.

Are you willing to share the prompt directly?
Possibly to create hype.
Its functionally completely separate. Douyin content for people unter 18 its like educational material, science experiments, and pro social content. Tiktok for under 18 in the US is like bikini girls dancing, robot voices reading reddit threads while videos of people playing video games play in the background, and lefty social justice content.
I had a flight cancelled due to COVID in 2020. I was given a voucher, which sat unused. They extended the expiration on it a couple times, due to the pandemic dragging on. Eventually, out of nowhere, after 2+ years of sitting on the voucher, I was issued a refund.

I was glad to get the refund, but when talking about a multiyear timeframe, I feel like I should get my money back with interest.
Which seems fair enough to me. If someone is flexible and wants to accept the airline’s offer, it’s fine for the airline and them to reach a voluntary agreement.
Meh. I would prefer hiring a junior programmer if I have to do that much review and mentoring. At least a real person would get the benefits rather than some tech giant that wants to take away jobs and profit from the work of others.
Terminal is a tool, it is to make you reach a destination. Chrome for a lot of folks is a browser, but for some it is a job to develop and for some it is a job to use it to test !! You have to figure out what your goal is, then use the tool to get there !! So small things like opening files, try doing text manipulation like copy paste vs replace some text using terminal and you are almost golden !!
Celebrates with 1 million people protesting against the budget cuts for education system. Not quite the achievement.
In this particular case, the law targets financial interactions with the company in question. So it wouldn't actually ban the company from serving on the internet, but no US company can knowingly facilitate their services on their servers.

Ex, ByteDance couldn't go to AWS and ask for capacity, nor could they go to Hurricane Electric and ask for Peering.
I think it depends on which slice of the Japanese internet. The こどおじ who discuss politics all day match your description. Other people, not so much. The statement about not caring about US/EU is true, however. I think most of HN is unaware that many Japanese sites take one step further and block all non-Japanese traffic.
I mean it's debatable whether or not social media is good for society, and there's legitimate concerns about data privacy, but do you really want the govt to remove them?
I haven’t run into interfaces coincidentally matching in Go. Have you? It might happen more easily for primitive types, though, and Go does have a way to declare new types:

type UserId string
I listen to a lot of music, and thanks to Spotify, regularly find new material across a decent range of genres.

But at the back of mind, I hear the echoes of Steven Pinker's words: "music is auditory cheesecake". Capable only of conveying emotions, unless lyrics are involved.
Thanks for the feedback.

> This is a lot slower to use than simply copying components from a pre-built UI library and making your own changes

Correct. This is something I am aware of, and next steps would be to make it easier to search and add free (open source) components to build up the UI. In retrospect I probably should have started with that, and then AI'd it.

> You wouldn’t use Tailwind and any of its surrounding products unless you knew the syntax and what it does.

This is true, but often as a Tailwind user I am stumpted on "how to create the thing in my mind". A good example is gradient text, but where the bottom of a letter like g is not cropped.

> And the pricing is outrageous, this is more expensive than subscribing to ChatGPT, with not much benefit other than a visual preview that can be accomplished with copy/paste.

It might be. The $30/m price for an ChatGPT wrapper has to have very good fit for someone, and I am probably not there yet.
Back in those period it's still very distinct / segregated black vs white culture.
