I'm on some reddit tech forums and people will say "I need help storing a huge amount of data!" and people start offering replies for servers that store petabytes.

My question is always "How much data do you actually have?" Many times you they reply with 500GB or 2TB. I tell that that isn't much data when you can get 1TB micro SD card the size of a fingernail or a 24TB hard drive.

My feeling is that if you really need to store petabytes of data that you aren't going to ask how to do it on reddit. If you need to store petabytes you will have an IT team and substantial budget and vendors that can figure it out.

PS (too late for edit so I'm replying to myself): with the above Clang extension you can also define your own phat_ptr_t struct and still associate the length with the pointer. Not sure if that's also possible with the Microsoft extension, for instance this is copied from the proposal text:

typedef struct {
int *__counted_by(count) buf;

There's an ant called the bullet ant, so named because its sting feels like getting shot. Its Wikipedia page shows other similar nicknames in Spanish and in Portuguese. So, given that other bugs' stings have already been described as comparable to getting shot, I believe it when you say that they say the millipede's bite feels equally painful.

Some people can’t deal with collaborative decisions, if the group is wrong. He started xAi because OpenAI didn’t care that GPT had no logic or factual accuracy. I don’t like Musk but I actually agree with him on this one. In that sense, I think Wolfram Alpha is a better “AI” assistant than anything else that’s come along so far.
In the US as well. I have to admit however that I didn’t think of this as that much of a big deal before we bought a Tesla. The FUD about charging that’s out there is really effective. But then it turned out I can even charge it out of a common household outlet and there’s really no problem at all until you need to drive 300+ miles
Ultima Underworld is a bit different from the mainline Ultima games. Those are fairly regular RPGs (though I'd say that IV through VII are really good RPGs), but Ultima Underworld is more like an immersive sim. In fact it pretty much created the immersive sim genre. I personally kinda prefer UU2 over UU1, but they're both excellent.
Plenty of people get offended if you tell them that their data isn’t really “big data”. A few years ago I had a discussion with one of my directors about a system IT had built for us with Hadoop, API gateways, multiple developers and hundreds of thousands of yearly cost. I told him that at our scale (now and any foreseeable future) I could easily run the whole thing on a USB drive attached to his laptop and a few python scripts. He looked really annoyed and I was never involved again with this project.

I think it’s part of the BS cycle that’s prevalent in companies. You can’t admit that you are doing something simple.
Nope, you've just applied your application model of the web to the web as a whole. Most websites are not actually applications and the risk of "injected content" to people with javascript turned off is very, very low.

The risk comes from the absolutely bonkers corporate/institutional use cases of automatically executing all random unverified programs sent to you. When you remove this crazy use case suddenly all the problems (and bonkers requirements) go away.

Seeing a goatse is not the end of the world and actual MITM injection attacks like you describe are rather rare now. I miss when wifi use to be open and that issue mattered.

> filling up a gas tank in 1-2 minutes

It doesn't help the comparison to lie about the time. If you have a smaller gas tank and the pump can fill at it's maximum speed, you can fill in 1-2 minutes from the moment you put the nozzle in. As a practical matter, you're rarely getting in and out of a gas station in under 5 minutes, and only then if it's completely empty when you arrive. When I'm filling up our pickup, it takes a good bit of time -- the pump rarely runs at full speed or the vapor pressure sensor trips, the tank is pretty big, and there's usually a few cars in line in front of me. 15-20 minutes is a lot closer to realistic.

Most EVs only need a "fill up" on a road trip, and AAA puts the average road trip refueling stop at 15 minutes. The technology in place today is adequate to do the same with EVs, and it only gets better every year. Battery swapping was a cute idea for a while but kinda pointless now.

Of course, all of this talk about time completely ignores that an EV driver spends quite a lot less time every year refueling their vehicle. 10 seconds to plug in when you arrive home, full every morning. Imagine trying to sell someone on the idea of going the other direction "Hey, buy this fancy car, it's great, but you have to take it to a dedicated location periodically just to keep it fueled up."

That's great, but it's really just desiderata about you and your personal situation.

E.g., if a HN'er takes this as advice they're just as likely to be gated by some other interviewer who interprets hedging as a smell.

I believe the posters above are essentially saying: you, the interviewer, can take the 2.5 seconds to ask the follow up, "... and if we're not immediately optimizing for scalability?" Then take that data into account when doing your assessment instead of attempting to optimize based on a single gate.

> ”sipping a hot, slightly bitter infusion of caffeinated leaves from a dried gourd through a filtered metal straw, before passing the gourd to their friends to share”

Someone might correct me, but I believe it is only in Brazil south that “chimarrão” (how they call this drink) is drank like this, hot and shared.

In Argentina and Uruguay you drink it individually. You can share the recipient with the mate in it, but once you added a refill of hot water and took the first sip, you have to drink it until the end before returning.

And in Paraguay they drink the “tereré” with cold water.
> This is exactly why I dread the future when people say "oh you will be able to tell the AI what to do, in normal language, and it will do it for you"

If it ever comes to that, it should be close to pair programming with AI and it should allow a mix of AI generated and human written code.

Like unsafe in Rust, we should be able to say "I know what I'm doing here, stay out of my way". Then let AI verify human written parts for correctness by means of tests or any other methods.

I think we sort of do this already, but it is the humans who verify the AI generated code and I believe we are a long way from swapping the roles.

> Some governments around the world did incentivise and even footed the bill for building public housing

I am not referring to building public housing. I am saying the government should build housing as if it were a for-profit company. Take those profits, and re-invest into building even _more_ housing. Don't try to sell to those in need, sell to those who are speculating on real estate and increase supply at the same time.
The problem with these studies is that it is exceedingly difficult to correctly account for all the additional differences between people who do get tattoos and those who don't.

Plus, if you don't find an effect, there is no paper to publish.

So, the proper correction factor is not just to account for the data in this study; scientists would also need to implicitly correct for all the other (unpublished) attempts by other scientists that found no effect.

It's a tricky business for sure and not one with a reasonable solution.

Hence I would not read too much into this study ...

My concern is the number of charger stations required between LA and Phoenix in the remote sections of I-10. Replacing all the cars with EVs that need to charge at a minimum of twice and you need two parking garages the size of the mall of America’s parking lot - each spot with its own supercharger. The power consumption is equal to a nuclear power plant for each garage. And this is only required for the peak Thanksgiving traffic. The rest of the time, 90% of the chargers would be idle. Oh, and this would in Quartzsite, a town of 2500. There aren’t power lines capable of this power. All the infrastructure would need to be built.

Antidepressants have the same odds of making someone better than making them worse.

Trauma, especially childhood trauma related to primary attachment figures can absolutely cause depression.

Not being loved by a primary attachment figure doesn't just make people sad. It causes a great deal of emotional distress.

Hallucinating is a hard problem to solve and likely impossible with the current paradigms and models. Making a bigger GPT is not expected to change this. More complex (CoT, RAG, agents) systems help, but still has issues and takes longer to respond. There is another dimension of complexity and optimization that gets introduced when you adopt these systems.

There was a post on HN yesterday about research into how the brain is different when handling human vs programming language. What we have today is good at human language. We probably need to rethink and find new models for programming / engineering tasks.

> You'll just tell and AI what to great and it'll model it and plug it all in.

That's the same as writing a book. Anyone can patch random amounts of text together and call it a book. Will it be good enough for people to read? Only if the person doing it is good enough to create an appealing story. The same is still valid for AI: some people know how to use it better and will get better results while 99% will be trash and ignored. This won't ever change, imo.

Isn't MS Rewind/Recall supposed to be encrypted and offline, on-device only? I don't see how it could be anything else and pass any data-protection regulation (in the EU, at least).

It's a hazard and its usefulness needs to be balanced with other needs, but on a work machine that belongs to me, it could be useful.
Now, if my boss has unfettered access to this data, or any of it is online, then obviously it's a no no.

Understanding the implications of tools like this is necessary. I'm not too optimistic that the general user will fully understand these implications though. That's one of the main danger with these technologies: promises are made, people don't think twice and overshare, and the data is used against their interests.

However, I want it to exist, MS or Open Source, preferrably, but only if I get 100% control over it, and it is never accessible to anyone else.

Having said that, I'm very much aware that most implementation of these tools will become a security and surveillance nightmare.

The next few years are going to be interesting, and probably frightening.

> "you can't learn what it is like to see colors from any physics book."

Why is it an argument against materialism?

To know what it is like to see colors you need to put your brain in a state in which other people's brain gets when they see colors. Physics book simply does not do that by itself.

But if you use learned physics, to electrically stimulate the right neurons in your brain, you can learn what it is like to see colors without ever seeing colors or having eyes.

You know, there's a car train between the northern US and further south. Your car goes on one train car, you get to relax in the train. And I know the UK/france tunnel is like this too.

Seems like an optimal solution in some respects, if optimized. For example, millions of Canadians travel to Florida each year for the winter, a lot by car. If such a train ran once a day, it would help many with range anxiety for such cases.

But imagine if major cities had such trains between them daily? These can still carry commuters without cars, too! And of course, we don't need everyone to be covered by this solution today, because the goal is to keep the transition to electric happening. This would help.

Some comments here are framing CSS as getting too complex. Some folks are recommending the utility-class approach (e.g. Tailwind).

I don't want to argue for Tailwind, but as someone who's used it for ~4 years now, it strikes me that I've forgotten what it's like to have to think about sets of CSS rules and how they collide.

Utility class systems completely remove the need to even consider conflicting rules.

That doesn't mean CSS shouldn't continue to grow though, and I welcome these new features.
