Ya, and with things like oat milk, most don't even realize they're consuming a cup of processed seed oil (imagine ranch/mayo) in that carton.

> massively important staple of advanced societies for thousands of years, and continues to be in places like rural India, Turkey, Central Asia, and more.

I also find it interesting how well milk consumption correlates with increased height.[0] All the tallest countries (Montenegro, Netherlands, Sweden) have the highest milk consumption levels. Everyone using protein powder to bulk up for fitness is using milk-based whey protein. We know that malnutrition affects height. Is there any other food or activity that correlates with height as much as milk consumption?

very well written post!
They have their own implementation that is closed source (last time I checked), Photon [1], which is written with a C++ engine.

Databricks' terms prevent(ed?) publishing benchmarks, it would be interesting to see how Comet performs relative to it over time.

Photon comes at a higher cost, so one big advantage of Comet is being able to deploy it on a standard Databricks cluster that doesn't have Photon, at a lower running cost.

Ask HN: Cheaper way to do model inference?
Does anyone know of any solutions for saving GPU compute during server downtime? Is there a managed solution to turn off a pod and turn it back on when I need it? I'm currently doing model inference and most of the time I'm just paying for compute without serving any user requests.
The theory is not focus distance changes, but high angle high brightness overhead lighting (sun) and sufficient blue light.
Spotify Technology S.A. may be headquartered in Sweden, but all business in the USA is conducted via Spotify USA Inc, which is a US company headquartered in the World Trade Center in New York City.

It is completely understandable that someone like you who doesn't live or work in the USA wouldn't know how sensitive a Bank Account/Routing number is here. If you exist in a modern banking system with proper security, it is easy to assume that the rest of the world works the same way.

However, there is absolutely no excuse for the decision makers at Spotify here in the USA not to understand this.

I suspect just one more data point would be pretty easy to manage, peek in a window, or even have the dude drive around the facility and see if the location was consistently reporting.
I guess that's fine for diversifying the big corporate overlords you rely on, which I'll agree is an improvement over relying on Google for everything. But still, I wish there were open alternatives.
Nebula drives me insane. I want so much to like it, but the TV app is so terrible. You can follow creators, but it won't show you when they release a new video. Did you have to pause a video and go away for a bit? Well too bad. Unless you search the name or use their bookmark feature, you can't get back to it. There's no way to tell it that it's suggestions aren't interesting. If the thing they've put a huge banner across your screen about is a podcast and not a video, clicking it does nothing. No error, no nothing (again on the TV app.)

While I'd love to see good tooling for AppImages appear, it's just not made for it.

The fundamental problem is that AppImages are literally just an archive with a bunch of files in them, including libraries and other expected system files. These files have to be selected by the developer. It's really hard to tell which libraries can be expected to exist on every distribution, which libraries you can bundle and which ones you absolutely cannot due to dependence on some system component you can't bundle either, or things like mesa/graphics drivers. There's tools to help developers with this, "linuxdeploy" is one, but they're not perfect. Every single AppImage tutorial will tell you: Test the AppImage on every distribution you intend this to run on.

At the end of the day, this situation burdens both the developer (have I tested every distribution my users will use? both LTS and non-LTS?) as well as the user (what is this weird error? why isn't it working on my system?), and even if this all somehow works, newer versions of distributions are not guaranteed to work.

Flatpak, for all its bells and whistles, at least provides one universal guarantee: Whatever the developer tests, is exactly what the user will experience. I think this is a problem that needed solving for many people.

...it hurts a lot to say this as a longtime flatpak avoider, still always prefer distribution packaging, but I've come to accept that there's a genuine utility to flatpak, if only to cover for letting users test different versions of software easily, and similar situations that distributions just cannot facilitate no matter how fancy their package manager.
I find it extraordinarily unlikely that the average person's understanding of AI is any different from the man the article is about.

The text AI outputs resembles that of a well-spoken expert on the given subject matter speaking with full confidence and authority. There's nothing to clue the user into the unreliability of the output, so 99% of users will not think to double-check.

The chat from the article proves as much: [1]. There's no way a non-techie would doubt this well worded, reasonably sounding answer to a question about Meta from the official Meta chatbot while using the Meta app.

I do see a new opportunity for Ballista. By leveraging all of the Spark-compatible operators and expressions being built in Comet, it would be able to support a wider range of queries much more quickly.

Ballista already uses protobuf for sending plans to executors and Comet accepts protobuf plans (in a similar, but different format).

Cyber house of cards – Politicians' personal details exposed online
Moving E-mail is the easiest part on this journey. For me the biggest reason, was the risk of being locked out of my E-mail accounts and reaching no (human) support.

What I found the most difficult was the search engine. Although Google search has become worse, it's still far better than Duckduckgo in my opinion. I've found DDG very inaccurate for non-English queries.
I wonder if the neglect of basic efficiency practices is largely a function of cheap money and unlimited cloud budgets. Now that the new tech shine is fading from the cloud and companies are grappling with higher interest and operating costs, maybe we'll see more of an effort towards efficiency.

On the other hand, who am I kidding. Engineering and business leaders are far more likely to push the focus towards AI solutions and other shiny trends, regardless of how effective they are.

Ah—you know the sense in which it was intended but, unusually (I intend this descriptively, not pejoratively), reject its definition as self-contradictory. That, I was not expecting.

This is one of those things that's easier to respond to with more experience. When I was a more green developer just starting to work in a team, I'd probably have answered, "Yes, I could've tried making the code more open-ended and extensible for such a scenario."

Now, with decades of experience, I can answer, "No, because if we designed all of our code to be reusable for any potential use-case, we'd be adding in a ton of extra work that would often not pay out later. It's acceptable that if we go with a YAGNI principle that occasionally we'll have some code that seems to be duplicated work, but that's far better than constantly writing more code that we don't need as that will increase our design complexity, leading to longer development time and requiring additional testing."
From the article they note that some of the things they found were VERY old, sounds strange but maybe they hadn't gotten to that part / were not able to move that much stuff:

>Some were stolen as long ago as 2014

Weird situation near me, some local folks where stealing construction stuff were found not far from me and ... they found everything stolen over the course of a few years. If a generator and some tools were taken, there they were, all of them together. It appeared they straight up had no plan / active effort to sell everything.
It still costs fuel to carry the weight and slows down the boarding/un-boarding process. Especially if overhead bins fill up and bags need to be, chaotically, checked in at the gate since then you also need more gate attendants. Some passengers don't need anything more than the personal under seat bag for their trip.

So charging for carry on bags is a logical approach if you wish to minimize the operating costs of the airline which budget airlines do.

>I think if there was another "bridge" mac it would've been easier (setup LocalTalk over the serial port

But serial communication doesn't require another Mac to receive the data since it's just raw HEX/ASCII bytes over the standard serial protocol. You can pick up the data with an Arduino.

Nor does serial mandate any handshake or a master-slave sync to work. You're free to shoot those bytes on the empty wire for all it cares. If someone picks them up good, if not, just as good.
If you were a Google PM trying to drive ad revenue, wouldn’t it be strategically in your best interest to make it look like uBlock Origin Lite worked equally well until uBlock Origin standard was no longer available and only then start introducing anti-ad blocking mitigations that uBlock Origin Lite couldn’t manage due to MV3 constraints?

For starters, not orchestrating the 2014 coup, not shelling the Donbas on Feb 16 2021, not violating the Minsk agreement would have helped. The laws Ukraine passed that made Russian speaking Ukrainians second class citizens were also egregious. Keeping promises that assured Russia NATO wouldn't encroach would be useful.

I don't know if this situation can be resolved with the current administration. I think it will take new leadership to negotiate away from the brink. I'd like to see RFK in there even if he had a chance.

20€ seems almost reasonable – I think I’ve seen Ryanair charge far more than 100 at some point.
Personally, I tend to shy way from companies that have the main product as advertising. Your job becomes way more at the risk due to some political bullshit privacy campaign.

I got offers from Meta (then Facebook) and Google and Amazon, and went with Amazon because they have way more actual value than Google or Amazon that is concrete.
as someone who has been working to make nix my main system for several months now, there are some very clear areas of improvement that would make things easier:

- [any] documentation, the majority of nix modules are undocumented and so the only way to figure out what settings are available is to find and read the source code (and even then it could be using a module to convert the definitions to the target config format, in which case there’s even more guessing, but at least the official documentation of that package gives you something)

- coding standards; lots of modules have different variations of camel case, snake case, adjective-noun, noun-adjective, etc so it’s not clear what the correct format of a setting is for an arbitrary package

- flakes just need to be both an official feature and set to be the default way to interact with nix, it just has too many upsides

- Better errors, the current errors are just horrible to read and you end up picking out 1 or 2 spots in several paragraphs of irrelevant code snippets and stack traces

- up to date resources, since the official docs aren’t very beginner friendly, third party resources end up being the way people learn (vimjoyer has been a godsend), but half the time when you try to use those resources, they’re out of date and lead to broken nix configs, having solid official updated documentation to help new users get started in nix would go a long way here
The war against dynamic code is so severe (no custom filters, no updates except via published & approved versions). I understand their are dangers, but as much as the ad blocking getting less powerful scares me, the fact that extensions can't do anything dynamic is insane cruel vicious & downright scum shit evil.

Protecting the users at all cost is not a viable way to operate; if web extensions are to actually create user agency, there must be a possibility of evil. I spit up on the dog shit trashfire Google hath created by outlawing all dynamic code. This is a dark despairing turning point, a place where the browser has truly abandoned a core advantage, under pathetic sad Fear Uncertainty and Doubt pretenses & I want this decision to burn forever.

It'll be interesting to see if any of Google's promises about Declarative Net Request filtering being faster prove true. If the new uBO isn't significantly faster, these people will be majorly Emperor with No Clothes-ing themselves.

From WarpStream’s (the forker’s) communications, I can’t tell if this is a hard fork or if they intend to pull changes and keep plugin compat. Perhaps they don’t yet know themselves, which would be nonideal but understandable under the circumstances. And I think that’s the only way we could really measure “trying not to fork” here, so saying that they had tried not to fork before eventually doing so sounds confused on their part.

On the other hand, I am saying all of that because I don’t think not forking at all is really an option in this situation. When the new maintainer is willing to relicense [EDIT: parts of] a piece of FOSS whose previous maintainer they acquired, when they are further trying to impose some weird Orwellian retcon on the name of said piece of FOSS and deleting all of its older resources, this seems to me like a degree of active hostility that wouldn’t be wise to tolerate, and the correct attitude would be “fool me twice, shame on me.” So a fork it is, now we’re just haggling over the hardness.
Are you implying we shouldn’t discuss historical events that paint Israel in a bad light?
Agreed -- we had a team account at work for a while, but then they both took away a huge portion of the back catalog (something like 60% of my queue disappeared) and then immediately after wanted to increase our pricing enormously... we passed.
I lived in Howard County for a year. With the combination of county income tax and affluent property taxes, every service was exceptionally well funded.

I have previously rented my house out on AirBnB, and it's not a switch you can just flip when you feel like taking a vacation; there is a lot of work you have to do to get your house ready to rent, and you have to establish (or maintain) relationships with people who can handle turnovers and other on-site services. A month would not be long enough that I'd feel like it was worth the hassle.
Yeah, it's true. I asked my grocery checker how an LLM works, and she rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, Chipotle, they're lexical analysis systems that operates by performing vector math operations on points in a vast multidimensional space that represent tokenized subwords, everyone can immediately intuit that based on the sixty-second cheerleading news clips they saw on CBS. What do you think I am, a Hacker News reader?" Then she threw a papaya at me.

I feel this. I recently ran into a problem with a kernel update breaking Bluetooth on resume from suspend. My Logitech keyboard and mouse that I use at my desk stopped working after each resume, and I had to go to the laptop keyboard and manually stop and start Bluetooth. On each resume.

Look, I'd love to contribute to the kernel, but the amount of time I have to play around with these things is now measured in minutes per day. So no, sorry, I don't have time to rebuild my kernel from mainline, and then bisect, and then cherry pick patches, and then test out proposed updates, and then help shepherd it through my distribution's patching mechanism.

So I just gave up on Bluetooth on Linux and plugged in Logitech's proprietary Bolt dongle, and re-paired my devices with it, and haven't had trouble since. I'd prefer to use standard protocols, but this isn't the first time a kernel update broke my Bluetooth setup, so I think I'll stick with what just works.
I am sorry, but I really don't think any company would deliberately interview a "bad" candidate. It is extremely expensive to interview and hire - I don't think anyone would agree to spend time on a candidate unless there was some chance.

That said, sometimes companies may take a flyer on someone, sometimes people just bomb interviews, sometimes it's just a very bad fit. Learn from it and keep going!

The last time I filed a Linux kernel bug report, it was to report that you could plug in a Firewire cable and directly read or write memory, which is a security bug.
But only the first 4GB of memory, because the bug that allowed this was from the 32-bit days. There's are registers which set the upper and lower limits of the accessible area, and they were set for a range of 0..0xffffffff.

Loud complaints from someone who had a debugger which used that exploit. Wasn't fixed.

Filing a DIY tax return with investments is intimidating at first, but it's really not hard once you've done it the first time. Assuming you're not doing any esoteric cost basis adjustments, it's just a matter of knowing where to copy the numbers from your consolidated 1099. Interest and dividends go right onto your 1040. Realized capital gains go on Schedule D. If you hold any foreign stock, claim your foreign tax credit on Schedule 3. Investments in IRAs, HSAs, and 401(k) accounts are, of course, not reported at all.
Yes, those 3 exist, and are important. But let's not pretend they are present in every single bug. Insisting on non-existent information is how you alienate bug reporters.

Often enough "the application doesn't work" is a complete description of the problem. Even though many people would prefer the shibboleth of "the application has a fatal crash at startup".

I did have a couple months. Was still rough.

However, the market turned downward later and I think the buyer sold at a bigger loss after five years or so. So, could have been worse.
