In this case TFA was lame and a waste of time. Advertising by posting blogs on HN is fine, but the blogs had better be interesting.
I see you have encountered the first reality of "personal library".

Of course, the idea of selling access to your private digital collection (or a derivative model) is relatively more absurd than the idea of monopolizing the original published work... Even so, this is as good a time as any to reconsider the practicality of copyright.
If someone has overstayed you might want to note that down in case they come for another stay, right?
Yes absolutely - I'm also using satellite.js so anything with a TLE available could be visualised. I'll have a think about how I could fit that in the UI.

Liability limitation exists in order for people to take risks without losing everything. A person or persons can form a company (such as a corporation or limited liability company), invest assets in it and so long as they conduct business properly their personal assets are safe from business creditors. Part of conducting business properly is typically that counterparties know that they are dealing with a limited-liability structure (e.g. by ‘inc.’ or ‘limited’ in the name); another part is complying with the law (e.g. typically failure to pay employees can lead to claims on personal assets).

This offloads some risk from the owners of the company to its business partners, it ended up enabling a real revolution in business formation and ownership. In a lot of ways it has had a democratising effect, as many more folks can afford to invest in a company than just those who are wealthy enough to bear the risk of unlimited liability.

To be fair, though, even if the culture isn't the same as ten years ago, the perks (and pay) generally are. For people who want to work in a technical role and who may be in traditional enterprise IT, looking up to big tech (including Google) is still pretty rational.

SuperMicro stuff has gotten so expensive. I remember when they were first getting started and even years afterwards, and it's nothing like today.

Honestly, best thing you can do now is just live with a tower server or buy off-lease from eBay. We've passed the hump where the off-lease eBay specials had the energy footprint of a small factory and used turbine jet engines to power the fans and cool things down.

I did buy once buy a no-name (ATX?) 2U case/rails only from eBay, but the manufacturing, accessibility, ergonomics, design, and everything else were terrible enough that I would not do it again.

The Google Bard frontend currently does this with searches and highlights its own "mistakes" if it finds them, or presents evidence if it doesn't. I presume they'd have to show that it's effective in this case.
I tried to hit archive.is, archive.ph and archive.org yesterday. They were all down, and archive.is seems to still be down.
So do people only get 8 prompts in this a day? I don't understand how people here are making such wild guesses about it being GPT-5 or 4.5 or whatever. You've only talked to it for like ten minutes.
Fail and learn from your mistakes. Or hire developers and fail and learn together.
Yeah, I mean, if they just had an archived ISO of every PS3 game in existence sitting on hard drives in the back, I don't think that would be a problem and I doubt that would get them sued because I think that would likely fall under fair use, especially for a library (IANAL), especially if they had purchased legitimate copies of the games and/or had them donated.

In fact, I suspect that if they did some kind of controlled lending program of the PS3 games, or the ISO was available to use upon request (e.g. like the US library of congress), that likely wouldn't get them sued either, but as it stands I'm not seeing a fundamental difference between IA and ThePirateBay, sans the lack of viruses and popups from the former.

From what I understand, F1 is about "emphasizing the importance of driver talent and creating a level playing field", hence the ban of tech like traction control. As an engineer, I'd love to see what the technology could do if unleashed. However, it's probably expensive and I doubt will catch the interest of anyone but uberNerds like me.
To be clear here, your answer to "What fields or technologies are you excited about?"

Is "kids hooking up with each other?"
I agree that the premise of Communism is impossible. Or rather: it relies on no progress being made, and thus all that's left to do is share out the little that we have.

Why then are we discussing an impossible situation? Why not discuss Magicism, where we imagine a world where magic has been discovered, and try to institute political systems right now that rely on this discovery being around the corner?
> The vast majority of the Palestinians who still live [Haifa and Jaffa] and are Israeli citizens sure as hell don't want to be ruled by the Palestinian authority. You'd be shocked to know how many of them vote for the Likud party.

Tell me how many ethnic Palestinians with Israeli citizenship that identify as such live in Jaffa and Haifa and vote for the Likud party (or other hard Zionist parties). This is HN and we like to share nerdy data like that.

I don’t speak Hebrew nor am I familiar with the Israeli media landscape, so it is hard for me to find the data, but I did some internet searching. There are around 1.4 million people that live in the Tel Aviv urban area, of which 4% are Muslims or Arab Christians. This puts an upper bound of around 50000 Palestinians living in Jaffa. Another Wikipedia article has 16000 Arabs (excluding Arab Jews) living in historic Jaffa.

Regarding polling numbers, I found one article from 2022[1] which stated some 18% of Arab Israelis preferred Netanyahu over other candidates to serve as Prime minister. I really wished to find direct polling of “who would/did you vote for” but couldn’t.

With all that said, it is a known tactic of colonizers to assimilate the colonized population. The I very much doubt that many of the Arab Muslim or Arab Christian population in Israel still identifies as Palestinian. Decades of assimilation does that.

Absolutely crazy. when it zoomed out there were still whole bunch of galaxies

Good point.

I ran a lot of gear through a decent separate PDU and the rack of datacenter gear refused to die. No burst transistors or other things that can be the norm after.

My comment was definitely based in this - providing the cleanest electricity possible, however, doesn't hurt, and can only help.
I daily drive the Keyboardio Model 100. I like it a lot, but I really would like to remap a few of the special characters. It works fantastically well for just arbitrary documents, but writing C++ is frustrating. The custom shape of all the keycaps makes it basically impossible to remap without just using clear keycaps.
Authority isn't the same, so this seems pointless.
As far as we know, the total universe may have infinite size, and thus contain infinitely many galaxies.

Great write-up. Any one who wants to dive way way deeper into keyboard layout optimization should look into the subreddit[0] as well as the Alternate Keyboard Layout Discord. It is a shame that most of the collective knowledge is stuck on a proprietary platform like Discord but there is a wealth of information there. The current more highly recommended layouts for most people (because of statistics, ease of use, comfort, etc.) is a family of layout known as nrts haei named after the homerow for these layouts.

If you want to take a peek at them I recommend these two layouts and their accompanying motivations: Graphite[1] and Gallium [2]. I especially recommend Graphite if you want to optimize your punctuation for programming as well as your alpha keys, since most layouts don't consider moving around punctuation beyond the semicolon and the comma keys. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

It's unrealistic to expect software to never have security holes, bugs, or vulnerabilities. How they're handled matters more than the fact that they were introduced to begin with.

> The problem is, their online book lending is far from the most important part of the Internet Archive,

I disagree. Archiving information for future researchers is valuable, but giving access to information to people right now is also very valuable. Most people's access to texts for research is very shallow, unless they are part of a research university. Google Books hosts many works that are out of copyright, but there is a century-long dead zone that is inaccessible.

I write a history of technology blog and the Internet Archive lending service has saved me thousands of dollars and many hours that it would have taken to track down the same research materials on eBay. Realistically, I just wouldn't have bothered, and the material I write would be of lower quality or not get written at all.

(That said I do agree that the emergency library was a strategic and legal mistake.)

Nothing in any of these comments suggests you need to deploy in any particular order, or that you need to group any particular code together in order to deploy it.

Monorepos make sharing code easier. They don’t put any requirements on deployment. You can make good or bad decisions regarding deployment when using monorepos or multiple repos.
It's pretty tough to be met with the realization that big tech companies' code education initiatives, and their support of things in the US like H-1B visas, all stem from a coldly calculated strategy to make the compensation for programmers get and stay as low as possible.
While I've not used this product, I've created somewhat similar setup using open source LLMs that runs locally. After having used it for about three months, I can say that debugging LLM prompts was far more annoying than debugging code. Ultimately, I ended up abandoning my setup and going in favor of writing code the good old fashioned way. YMMV

What I mean is that semantically there's often no such thing as a null object for a given domain. So any artificial one that can be made is indistinguishable from null in practice (i.e. all operations on it will throw etc).

Depends on the terms of the auction. If we take the California legal definition of Fair Market Value for real estate:

> The fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available.

A 7 day auction on a complex product like this may be a little short to qualify with the necessity clauses, IMHO; there's a bit too much time pressure, and not enough time for a buyer to inspect and research.
Less than 100 Liters is very difficult to manage but aim for 500-800 Liters at very minimum because you will want to make your pond bigger later. This can fit in any a little boring coin of a garden and will became the best part of the garden. Everything in a range of four to ten liters is not a pond, is a dog bowl and will became a mosquito nursery. I see those often adviced by youtubers that never tried to manage a pond seriously.

Beware. Ponds of all sizes are dangerous for toddlers and ponds must have a side with a gently slope so falling pets and animals can climb out. If you have children of less than five years, you --must-- cover the pond with a solid iron pond cover:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pond+cover&t=newext&atb=v411-1&iax...

Apart of this the "deeper" the pond the more animals will fit for the same price. More than 1 meter is normally unnecessary in a small garden
yes, the concerns around limiting access to the newcomers are valid, but there's the other side to the deal:

>that they share this universe and communicate in it. Why shouldn't this also be possible on millions of other earth-like planets out there?

one trivial but powerful observation that von Neumann made was that our galaxy say, is actually pretty small. It's about 100k light years big, which means that any civilization spreading at only a tiny fraction of the speed of light could expand through the entire milky way in only a million years. We could very well spread through the entire galaxy in the near future if we manage to get to like, 1% of light speed in the next few hundred years.

So our galaxy, which contains a few hundred billion stars almost certainly has no other intelligent life in it for the simple reason that it'd be everywhere. That doesn't mean there's no microbial life or maybe technological life billions of light years out there but the fact that we're so alone in our neighborhood is a pretty strong indicator in the direction that advanced life might be much more rare than some people assume.
We use IF NOT EXISTS to bring non prod environments in sync with prod. The size of prod requires some migrations to be done separately over course of days, in separate transactions. The IF NOT EXISTS clause then brings dev and non prod envs in sync.
"tailing" is a pretty cool mechanism. An MQ is possibly too general.

For "tailing" you need to be able to resume, and that requires that you have a stable "offset" identifier, which in HTTP-speak would be: {URI, weak ETag, byte-range offset}, and then you can use conditional requests and local-part naming conventions to deal with things like:

- detection of rollover (which is where you can move older content to tiered storage),

- recovery from that (resumption), and

- detection of lost content (e.g., you resumed a tail a month later and [surprise!] you can't catch up and you need to recover in some other way.

In fact, I've written an HTTP server I call tailfhttpd that supports all of that and, if you GET w/ `Range: bytes=${offset}-` (for some offset) then the GET doesn't complete until the file is unlinked or renamed away. Poor-person's-Kafka. This is generally quite useful since you can use it to tail both structured and unstructured log files, as long as you only ever append to them.

Wars are never waged as responses to attacks or insults, they are waged when the rulers have determined that they will be profitable. Until then, all attacks or atrocities will be ignored.

When it's time for war, the rulers will make up any kind of excuse, order the media to whip up the population to a war frenzy and mothers will cry tears of joy when their sons get sent away to die in agony in some forest or desert with their guts spilled all over the ground.

While I agree, how does this mesh with standard operating procedure on Windows/Mac being to download binary executables and run them? Is the analogous advice "inspect any exe files with Ghidra and fully understand them before running"? Or "only run executables from official distribution channels of open source projects the code of which you've read and understand"? Where, generally, should we place our trust in terms of what code we run on our computers?

If you really think its over, pivot into business. As someone who is all in on AI assistance, there's simply too much curation for me to do to think it's replacing people any time soon, and that's just with coding which is maybe 20% of my job these days. I will say CoPilot/ChatGPT helped reduce my 30% into 20% pretty quickly when I first started using it. Now I largely take suggestions instead of actually typing it out. When I do have to type it out it's always nice to have years of experience.

Said it before will say it again, it's a multiplier, that's it.
I've heard both, and the "-esseez" plural just seems less ambiguous on poor videoconferencing lines and recordings. "-esses" is a mouthful to pronounce.
I'm not sure why "too much" solder paste is needed to make this work. I've done something similar on quite a few occasions, but using regular solder. Just put a slightly generous amount on each pad, but not enough to create any shorts. Add flux (ideally, something rosin-based that will last longer in the heat of the next step). Heat up the whole footprint with the hot air gun, and gently place the IC on top.

This method saves blasting the IC with hot air while heating up the whole lot.
She'll is complicated enough that I suspect it would be quite easy to trick anyone who does a cursory glance over the script, unless they are an absolute shell master.
I think you've forgotten what 2020 was like. Libraries were closed. Schools were closed. Book stores were closed. Shipping was majorly slowed. Basically all public services were inaccessible to most people. Now imagine you're the kind of person who who founds and runs The Internet Archive for 25 years, not just another HN commenter bored at work. You're sitting in front of the button to help millions of people regain access to something the pandemic took away from them. Do you push the button, or do you cower away because some rich prick might sue you later?

I don't think the IA exists without the kind of person who pushes that button.
