I mean histrionic is a pretty accurate description of Musk's own persona. You get what you give.

“Elon bad therefore my tantrum is justified” - I’ve seen that countless times and never a peep from you.

I wrongly assumed you saw it. You are right it wasn’t flagged. This happens every single Musk thread. Very hard to miss.

I’ll once again diligently report and not take bait. I take you at your word.

I’m not an Elon defender at all but these tactics don’t belong on the site and it has to stop already. Enough.
A smart compiler would have used the test (x & (x - 1)) == 0 to verify that x (assumed non-zero) is a power of two. Don't know why Clang didn't do that here.
Those tiny lifts are impressive and surprisingly stable for such small surface area.

I didnt see any infrastructure (pulley system/tractor) for quickly evacuating burning bus from the basement, a fire in such space can get very ugly.
I love the idea of floating, self replicating factories on Venus that launch comets made of dry ice to Mars to build up an atmosphere on Mars and reduce the atmosphere on Venus.
You should generally be setting attributes in the init method of your class, unless you want it to act like a class attribute - shared by all instances. The exception is some special types of classes such as dataclasses or pydantic objects, which do it automatically but require a post init method if you want to do anything more than set values passed to the constructor.

Tbh, if they were writing something for prod they should have factored out the uuid generation and passed values into a pydantic dataclass w/ validators for all the fields. Just sayin.
We'd get further faster if the strategic interest was met at some cost, but we kept trade doors open. Dumping is a statement to economic disparities. "you can make it too cheaply" only goes so far. (not all cheap goods are either inferior or founded on slave labour. Sometimes, the input and supply cost is simply better for some other nation state)

The over-reliance is a real threat. So it's sensible to have a national/regional supply path to these goods, but it flows both ways: China will tool up some competitor to ASML because being told "you can't buy our litho machines" is not a weapon which ends in "oh, oh well we'll stop at 200nm chips then" it simply encourages them to try harder.

I don't think the ban on EUV chip factory equipment is designed by the western powers to make China improve their own tooling. But it will.

Same with cars, batteries, tinned peaches, red wine, Maybe not brie. I think brie is safe for a while. They've only really been eating fancy cheeses for a decade or two, it takes longer than that to learn how to make Brie doesn't it?

To be fair, if I wasn't looking for this bug I never would have spotted it. That being said, you're entirely right that any monitoring or even the most basic manual testing should have instantly caught this.
And if you want to do the same thing on a whole-system level, bpftrace is invaluable. With tools like opensnoop/execsnoop/etc. you can see all the files and processes being run and by what. There are network-level similar bpf tools also.
I did a new Ubuntu 24 install tonight and decided to try this out. I like it a lot for the most part as a place to get started but still need to make some tweaks.

I had not used Tactile for tiling before but I like it.

Alacrity is new to me and I don’t really get the preference for it, but no big deal.

Zellij is interesting and I feel like I just need a day to get use to it.

Mise is an interesting switch from asdf and direnv, but it seems really polished.

I like what I see enough that I’m going to stick with it for a month or so to see how it grows on me. I’ve spent enough time tweaking Linux installs in the past that sensible defaults that I don’t have to maintain have some appeal.
>People already trust eg their (mechanical) cars and their hammers and saws.

People trust the people who make them, that's why brand value is so important and why "I only buy good old <country of choice> hammers" is so common. It's also why Sam Altman wanted his AI to sound like totally not Scarlett Johansson rather than give it the voice of a Dalek.

There's some things I'd love an AI powered service for - for example no one has really gotten AI powered email right yet. But I use and love a few "AI" services too. Kagi's on a good path with summarization of results and quick answers - I use that AI service everyday. Claude is pretty darn good at inventing recipes from a list of ingredients and appliances that I have available. But to be fair to the blogger, I don't care that it uses LLMs - I just like that it solves a problem for me.
did you install the proprietary nvidia driver ? I think ubuntu makes you install it once logged in. Nvidia won't be decent without the proprietary driver in the near term.
Why use a free software OS if you don’t care about free software? MacOS or Windows probably make better workstations if you are using it to run surveillanceware like VS Code and Chrome.

Why fight the uphill battle with Ubuntu at that point?
No disagreement here. I'm not fond of contract law because of teh sort of adversarial legalism it imho promotes. But that's a much bigger discussion than comfortably fits here.
Linux on Windows, to be precise.

This is a cute ideea and one I'm sure many have believed over the years, and one that Charlie Chaplin perhaps made most famous with his gibberish-spewing dictator character.

However, in my opinion, the truth is that Hitler's ideas and the way they fit German culture at the time were far more powerful than his speech-giving skills. His speeches and style did not resonate with American or British or French audiences (to the extent that they didn't - he was in fact a pretty popular politician all over Europe before he began attacking them) not because they didn't understand German, but because they weren't Germans.

His speeches preyed on German bitterness after losing World War I, they preyed on German poverty because of the reparations, they preyed on German conceptions of national pride, and, of course, they preyed on German antisemitism and xenophobia more generally.

Many of those elements were not present in, say, France (who had defeated Germany in the recent war), so even if the French had spoken German, they certainly wouldn't have been swayed with arguments about how they had humiliated Germany, or about how Germany needs more "living space". The Spanish or the Polish would not have been swayed by Hitler's notion that blond blue-eyed Germans are the chosen people who rightfully rule the world. And the Japanese would have barely even understood what he was talking about, even if they had all been native German speakers.

And conversely, Hitler had no shortage of allies before and during WWII, not because Mussolini or Hirohito or Stalin were such fine speakers of German that they were mesmerized by his carefully crafted speeches, but because they liked his actual ideas and plans for conquest, regardless of language.

For a big launch, you can have your entire team looking at issues in realtime, rather than a small number of people responding to pages in the middle of the night. I think if it's worth it to you there's a big difference.
Reading this, I remembered how many times my Econ profs in college would tell us “… and that’s why economists are never invited to parties!” Usually on the back of explaining some kind of unpopular position an economist would take due to its purely reasonable basis.

But I think the reason nobody likes economists isn’t because they have unpopular opinions. It’s because, despite being wrong almost constantly, they have no humility at all. I’ve never read anything by an economist that didn’t absolutely drip with ego and posturing and this piece is not different at all.
I was told my grandparents old house (in the US) was a factory built home, but it looked fairly normal. I just looked it up and it was built in 1956. There are also modular homes which are still common, which are built in a factory and shipped out some location.

The issue in the US, as far as I can tell, is that these homes are seen as less desirable. People don't want them, and even if someone was ok with it, they may still be unlikely to buy one because the resale market isn't good. A "normal" house in the US is going to go up in value, while a modular home is going to go down in value. From what I've seen they are $80-120k new, but older one can be bought for $5-20k. Few people want to sign up for car-like depreciation on a home. In cities, they are usually in trailer parks, which have a stigma. It also means a person is only paying for the home, not the land under it which is where the real value is. The other place they are common is on big plots of land. Someone will buy 10+ acres and get a modular home so they have some place to stay without spending a ton of money, since they invested most of their money in the land.
> As an event producer as long as you follow reasonable backwards-compatibility best practices then you should be pretty safe from breaking things downstream.

That can protect you from "downstream can't even read the message anymore" but it doesn't help you with the much more common "downstream isn't doing the right thing with the message anymore" problem. Schema evolution is kinda like schema'd RPC calls vs plain JSON: it will protect you from "oops, we sent eventId instead of event_id" type of errors, but won't prevent you from making logical errors. In a larger org, this can turn into delayed-discovery nightmares.

A synchronous API call could give you back an error response and alert your immediately to something being wrong. The system notifies you directly.

A downstream event consumer may fail in ways entirely off of your team's radar. The downstream team starts getting alerts. Whether or not those alerts make it immediately obvious to them that it's your fault... that depends on a bunch of factors.

If a car crashes into a wall, the wall feels the force of the car and the car feels the force of the wall. If the wall doesn’t move then the force acting on the car is the same as the force of the car on the wall.

If the wall is also moving towards the car then the force felt by the car is the sum of the reaction force it would have felt if the wall were stationary plus the force due to the wall trying to accelerate the car in the opposite direction.

In the author’s example is says that 2 cars crashing into each other is the equivalent of two cars crashing into a wall, and it’s false.
There are also nifty springy ones you use in bus bars in order to keep the clamping force equal through a range of temperatures, because of the differential in heat expansion between copper and steel.
If all the Venus-related activities are controlled by a single political entity, those pesky human problems probably won't be a big problem.
Ubuntu out of the box is not a great experience. I eventually switched to KUbuntu and finally to Arch as I got more comfortable.

It seems to be common to go through the experience when you "switch" to pick something less jarring and then migrate further towards the Linux spectrum.

This project seems to be tailored to people who are just making the switch

You may want to try Pop!_OS [1], it's based on Ubuntu but AFAIK includes NVIDIA's proprietary drivers out of the box, which is basically the "better out of the box experience" you're asking for.

That said, I think there are legal issues around licensing with doing such a thing, which is why most distros avoid including them in the first place.

I’m similar. I’ve just done a few things to dumb down my iPhone. No notifications etc.

I could happily avoid social media but safari is by far my biggest time wasting app. News as well as googling random interesting things all day and then ending up going down random rabbit holes on niche topics. Also not a great use of time because I end up learning a little trivia on lots of stuff, nothing particularly useful.

I want my phone so I have a good camera on photos of my kid, managing my business, maps and small daily things like being able to sign my kid into daycare. I can delete the time wasting apps… except safari is the main offender.

I have to agree it feels navie to publish this.

"We're too lazy to write our own code, or even test that it works, please give us money VCs/Users."

> Regulators work hard to ensure there is no broadband competition.

Regulators can be the tool to stifle competition. The driver though is inherent in business needs. Competition is the biggest cost to any business, so there will always be a drive to reduce the competition to as close to zero as possible. It's inherent in how businesses operate.
In compression contests you count the size of both the compressed data (DNA) and the decompressor binary (egg cell).

And the sort of dogma libertarians subscribe to is that especially unhealthy dogma where waves hand “the market” will just handle it, never mind the details. It’s basically a religion (I used the word “dogma” very deliberately).

Show HN: A simple open-source tool to help you blink more often
I built this simple tool to nudge me to blink more often because my eye-sight deteriorated fast soon after I started learning to code.

Help needed:

currently I'm only using color change to nudge users to blink more. I don't have any biology background but there should be more effective ways. Love to brainstorm together.

Repo is here: https://github.com/GoodluckH/blink-more
IMO way sooner. Some low hanging fruit tests would catch this before it’d even hit git.
Yes, but the previous paragraphs confirms that “The weekly PFAS intake through the consumption of home-produced eggs exceeds the health-based guidance value (i.e. the maximum safe intake). This means that the weekly PFAS intake due to the consumption of these eggs over a longer period of time can lead to health risks. Consumption of eggs from the supermarket (commercial eggs) does not lead to excessive PFAS intake and can therefore be eaten safely”.

This is the question that was being asked.
Saying Zuck et al knew what they were doing is misleading, and gives them too much credit. They are no experts in how dopamine works.

Tech makes it easy to build things quick. Some things gets popular more by accident than design. Zuck didn't build insta, or whatsapp or tiktok. The reasons for popularity and what is working is generally discovered post facto.

Popularity attracted funding. Things scale up (scale is the only thing tech brings to the table). That attracts financial engineers of Wall St. They take over and control how firms are managed. Cuz most creatives, engineers and scientists have no training in finance or business. And that sets up where the story goes.

The financial engineers aren't programmed to design goods or improve quality of life. They are programmed to capture market, as quickly as possible and collect rent from as much of the market as possible, getting the cheapest rates on interest/labor/forex/tax etc.

Market capture tactics increasing rely not on product, or quality of product, but on arbitrage capability, taking out competition AND outspending the competition in Marketing/Advertising/PR (ie Demand Engineering). Demand engineering works cause people have finite Attention bandwidth. As long you get your signalling and messaging into that finite bandwidth you win over the people who cant.

The technologist, the financial engineer, the demand engineer are all furiously optimizing what they are individually good at.

When they come together we end up with a very efficient corporate machine. When a whole herd of these machines, all copying each others behavior, run around the individual human being has less and less control over their own environment.

The machine herd will capture your kids in some other way if you get them off smartphones and social media. The only solution is to change the behavior of the machine and the herd.
Yes, those are very similar. I occasionally use the term otherkin for myself, as a non-specific term for "one who identifies differently from the body", but I do tend to get along well with therians. (And queer people in general, I suppose.)
> Ubuntu out of the box is not a great experience.

Just as with every linux flavor, it depends. I've been on Ubuntu for close to 20 years, and I went from a very customized setup to mostly just the defaults. I have a simple setup script to install my favorite apps. Yeah, and mapping the CapsLock key. I always stick to LTS versions.

If you're part of a long tradition and yet still can't provide rational arguments for its continued existence then it only exists because of feelings, which will inevitably, fade.

Learning incrementally is not the same as following an unjustifiable tradition, nor is it in opposition to wanting to provide arguments based on what we know now. A tradition is in opposition to learning incrementally, because when it is wrong there will be unjustifiable resistance to correction.
I believe most articles about smartphone addiction are missing the more important half of the issue: the addictive substance is the internet, rather than the enabling device. Certainly the phone allows more opportunities, but the actual substance is the internet. Most people will do fine for a month with a dumbphone and an internet connected laptop. Now try to live a month with any fancy phone and laptop, but without any internet connection whatsoever. The smartphone without internet is barely more addictive as a dumbphone.
I haven't run into weird Kafka data loss issues like you describe - although, I will note, a lot of applications don't actually have much testing to notice something like 1 in 10k messages being dropped if it was happening.[0]

But when I've done that testing, Kafka hasn't been the problem.

The problem I've run into most is that ordering is a giant fucking pain in the ass if you actually want consistent replayability and don't have trivial partitioning needs. Some consumers want things in order by customer ID, other consumers want things in order by sold product ID, others by invoice ID? Uh oh. If you're thinking you could easily replay to debug, the size and scope of the data you have to process for some of those cases just exploded. Or you wrote N times, once for each of those, and then hopefully your multi-write transaction implementation was perfect!

[0] in fairness, a lot of applications also don't guarantee that they never drop requests at all, obviously. 500 and retry and hope that you don't run out of retries very often; if you do, it's just dropped on the ground and it's considered acceptable loss to have some of that for most companies/applications.
I wonder what exactly sets the Mac trackpad apart from the rest: is it hardware or software? I wonder if there's a way to improve it on other laptops.
Kinetic energy is relative to the frame of reference, but Changes in kinetic energy is never relative to fixed reference frame.

I think people dont realize they are changing their reference frames, and getting insane results like the amount of kinnetic energy release in the collision depend on what frame you pick.
