I'm not so sure. Automobiles are the leading export for both Japan and Germany, but Japan's auto fraction is significantly larger:

> https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/exports-by-category

> https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/exports-by-category

What's more, Germany mostly "exports" to neighboring EU countries, which is a low friction and more stable proposition. Japan's exports are mostly to the US, China, and South Korea; its top export destination is China (+ Hong Kong).

Bottom line is that any scandal that hurts Japan's auto industry really hurts Japan's entire economy.

> > but its rarely gb at the same time. Thats the point. Its a dumping ground for stuff thats not used very often.

> But it has to be GB to actually make a difference. If your swap is not full of GB of data, then obviously you don't need it (or it just becomes a reserve when you are in an OOM situation - but this is where you don't want to be with swap avaible either)

I think the parent meant, that it barely needs to be read / write GBs at the same time. Not that that much swap is never being in use at the same time.

So you can use a lot of swap, but will never need to read it back in all at once.

I can't wait to see how Tenstorrent Ascalon (RISC-V microarchitecture) fares against M4, X925 and Zen5.
I agree with your general point, but it might still be cheaper to redesign your system if a rare breaking change happens to usually reliably stable external registration systems, rather than to pay the cost of a thousand paper cuts by indirection, computational cost or human confusion.

One edge case and good indicator is if your system is testable by itself without third party cooperation and the ability to, for instance, create license plate numbers.

> Why not just have the installer _ask_ me what configuration I prefer?

Because nobody bothered to actually put in some work to implement that. As I've said on the ML, if somebody does the work, I'll review it. But it's one of hundreds of different settings, and it's obviously not worth anybody's time to do this work, as it's largely inconsequential and trivial to configure via the supported config files. Complaining on social media is of course cheap enough that we get plenty of it.
I get that you could potentially hide the MDMA/placebo choice from the therapist. But how would you even design a study that hides it from the patient, given the really high doses?

The "rectilinear" or "f*tan(theta)" projection mentioned in the grandparent comment is equivalent to that pinhole camera. The former name is because the pinhole camera preserves straight lines, as noted. The latter is because if theta is the angle between the incoming ray of light and the lens's optical axis, and f is the focal length, then the pixel illuminated by that ray of light is at a distance f*tan(theta) from the center of the imager.

That rectilinear projection is indeed the most popular choice, but all projections involve tradeoffs as the FOV gets bigger, in the same way that all planar cartographic projections involve tradeoffs as the depicted region gets bigger. For example, the magnification of objects at the edges of a rectilinear projection gets extreme as the FOV approaches 180 degrees, and the projection stops existing entirely at or beyond that. That magnification is sometimes called "perspective distortion", even though it's inherent to the rectilinear projection.

Wide-angle lenses or multi-lens arrays will often deliberately choose f*theta instead, to avoid that "perspective distortion" or support FOV >= 180 degrees. Other projections (e.g. equirectangular) are also used, especially for stuff like panoramas and VR. The concept of distortion is meaningful only with respect to a desired baseline, which is often but not always rectilinear.

You always have an option to run an internal PKI, without paying anyone.

The public PKI is built on the public DNS system. If you want a cert to be trusted by default and don't want to bother with your own internal PKI then you need to leverage the existing public infrastructure, which doesn't give it away as a free beer but sells it.

> being driven by hyperscalers like Amazon and the perverse incentive caused by their pricing structures

Not really. They can and do price it otherwise e.g. with different instance types.

If we had to blame something then it's the move away from the traditional software licensing model. In the past, self-install software e.g. databases, OSes, etc would charge per core / CPU and that would be a huge chunk of the expenses added up. Now that we're free from this things are a lot different.

Having said that, the desktop side is still aiming for high-perf cores for e.g. gaming. It's not lost - just harder and harder to do.

> It can't have escaped people's notice how slow cloud VCPUs are

It's not that slow. It comes down to choosing the right instances and staying current. EPYC 4th gen single core on e.g. Amazon i.e. c7a is not the same as a 6th year old laptop CPU? It's also not hundreds of dollars per month (reserved / spot instances are the way to go).

Also this is nothing new. I remember the days of companies running their own VMWare data centers and those server Xeons were a lot slower. There are just heat and density concerns even if you had to do it yourself.
> Flora Dutra, a Brazilian activist who works with indigenous tribes

This made it almost sound like the effort was led by an NGO but she's the co-founder of an investment company that claims to support "conservation efforts" in the rainforest and "connect indigenous communities". After digging a bit further into their website, this is what they say about ROI:

> We are committed to returning capital and giving 100% returns within 1 decade. With long-term returns of up to 300% within 25 years, for those who are seeking portfolio options. We are open to exclusivity agreements and long-term contracts linked to all project commodities (Offsets, ESG certified products, farming outputs, etc.)

So in other words they are less about "empowering indigenous communities" and more about opening up investment opportunities by privatizing indigenous land and resources.

In this light it's clear why Flora sees only positives in connecting Amazon tribes to the Internet: because it's a necessity for doing business with them.

That said, the article does bury the lede that the tribe was previously extremely prudish to the point of frowning on kissing in public. Not to defend pornography nor promote liberalism as a panacea but I wonder what role sexual repression plays in this story and to what degree it might lead to the social harm being overstated.
Depends on what is your SLA. If it's an offline data processing and you can survive 1-2h outage (during machine restart) why not?

I had a chance to see how such system works and it was great. 1 powerful machines, few services that process the data. Even it fails (which happened ~2 in 5 years) you just wait until it restarts.

Also, most of the work happened during the night, few hours of lag was okay 'cause before 6AM everything was ready to be served for the upcoming working hours.

Licence plate numbers are an interesting one, since what those mean varies from country to country. Here (Ireland), they are assigned to the car itself via VIN, are never meant to change once assigned, and are backdated based on information about the vehicle itself (e.g. year of first registration even if first registered in another country, following an older format if applicable), but in other countries they can be reassigned to other vehicles.

e.g. 06-LK-12345 might be your car's plate if you move your foreign 2006 car here and register it while living in Limerick, but buying a new car might give you a plate like 242-L-12345 since the format of the first two fields changed since. If you leave and later return with that car, re-registering it gives you the exact same number.

> how will the surrogate key protect you? It will not.

Yes it will. Your changes will be confined to only the table(s) where the natural key is present, not spread across every table where there's a foreign key.

Of course you will still have to deal with the reality that the natural key is now not unique, and model reality, but your implementation work in doing so is far simpler.

In more years than I care to count I've regretted someone using natural keys as a primary key for a table many times, and surrogates never.

Nonsense, it does.

"Initially, the internet was heralded as a positive for the remote tribe who were able to quickly contact authorities for help with emergencies, including potentially deadly snake bites. “It’s already saved lives,” Enoque Marubo, 40, stated. Members are also able to share educational resources with other Amazonian tribes and connect with friends and family who now live elsewhere. It has also opened up a world of possibilities for young Marubo, some of whom have been unable to conceptualize what lays beyond their immediate surrounds."
Do you have a Macbook with that center gap in the screen? Because I notice different behavior on my 2023 Macbook Pro vs my iPhone 13 Mini.

On the iPhone if you observe closely, it is drawing a green circle on the screen area where you normally see portions of your OS or app. It starts with a tiny circle and grows until it becomes a certain size. When you close the camera app, the circle turns orange and shrinks until it disappears.

On the Macbook, it is a bright green circle that just turns on like an LED and is located in the cut off portion of the screen that has nothing software related in it. When the camera using app is close the circle just disappears like an LED turning off.
This reminded me to turn off "privacy settings" to "keep your vehicle in good condition and observe the vehicle's health" on my Volvo XC40 after the mechanics asked me to turn it on yesterday during the yearly maintenance.

EV mandates are a scam. Powering them off coal and natural gas does nothing for carbon. We would need hundreds of new nuclear power plants in the US alone to go net zero. We need like 50% more electricity production to just go all-electric, not counting the excess needed to handle spikes in demand.

Creating investment opportunities. Also green-washing.

From the "activist"'s company's website:

> We are committed to returning capital and giving 100% returns within 1 decade. With long-term returns of up to 300% within 25 years, for those who are seeking portfolio options. We are open to exclusivity agreements and long-term contracts linked to all project commodities (Offsets, ESG certified products, farming outputs, etc.)

Note "farming outputs". A big problem with the Amazon has been rainforest being burned down to make room for farmland and pasture used for exports, so having the indigenous groups do it instead of standing in the way makes it more palatable, especially when you can also point to "conservation efforts" like turning their existing sustainable forestry into carbon offset processes and scaling up their subsistence farming for export.

So in short, they're sustainable subsistence farmers living comfortably on a GDP of zero while caring for their environment and we need to change that because a GDP of zero means you can't make money off of them. Give it twenty years and their land will be fully privatized and sold off to some external corporation and they'll all be impoverished because they can't use their land anymore and are now "unemployed" and own nothing.

Show HN: I made a landing page randomizer
Hey HN!

I’m still solopreneur, and after building various projects, I found myself spending too much time on projects that didn’t gain traction. To address this, I decided to create shorter projects that solve real pain points quickly.

That's why I developed Make-Landing, a tool to create landing pages effortlessly.

With Make-Landing, you can generate over a lot of variations of landing pages in just a few clicks. Customize pre-made components and export your design in Svelte or React. This way, you save a lot of time and effort.

I know it has that "developper" vibe. But the point is to have the landing page quickly imo.

Would love your feedback on this!

maybe being memory bandwidth starved is intentional? Cores are relatively cheap these days (not much silicon area, power proportional to instructions processed).

Whereas cache uses a lot of silicon area (expensive), and memory bandwidth/data transfer costs power. Speculative memory reads trade lots of memory bus capacity and power for performance.

Therefore, for maximum compute per watt and compute per dollar, you probably want excess cores and to make sure you fully utilize any cache and memory bandwidth. You don't do much speculative read-ahead and you accept lower per-core performance to get more throughput per dollar.
On a positive other hand though, I think some of that (engagement with the low-effort joke or whatever) only comes because of respect earnt with the higher effort content.

For example, I read the Money Stuff newsletter and follow its author Matt Leavine on Twitter as a result; I'd be much more likely to 'engage' on Twitter if he posted some joke (for other readers: a cartoon of him leaning forward into an email client after a holiday, say) than I would to reply by email with a well thought-out and in-depth response with additional information/correction on some technical detail say, even if I worked in the industry to have that information. But I'm only following him on Twitter because of the newsletter.

What I've found with some cursory googling is mostly place names, which I agree often have major differences between spelling and pronunciation. Even there, many of the examples on the Wikipedia page are still plausible spellings for the pronunciation, especially given how ambiguous English spelling is in the first place. Others seem more like nicknames that have essentially replaced the original full name of the place, while the full name is conserved in the spelling.
Official registration numbers, such as Swedish personal identification number, or "personnummer" (date of birth + serial + checksum [Luhn], where even serials are used for females and odd for males):

- It can take a few days before a newborn is assigned a number

- Non-citizens don't have one, but they can get a coordination number on the same format but with the date part incremented by 60 days.

- Citizens can have both a coordination number and a personal identification number in certain cases.

- They can be changed if the wrong birth date or gender registered at birth or during immigration, for protected identities, or for gender transitions.

I'm a bit confused. I've never programmed databases, though i have a lot of programming experience.

The student made a structure that can be seen as a unit or table in a database. Is the database not clever enough to synthesize a unique id? Why does the programmer need to care about keys?

It is clear that the end user will not know anything about a key, it might be a byte offset in a file or a memory pointer. Why does the programmer need a key?
