The real lesson here should be that source code shouldn't be stored in a text format, but in a well-defined strict binary format that stores the parse tree directly, which completely eliminates the need for formatters.
My experience is that OpenEBS and Longhorn are cool and new and simplified, but that I would only trust my life to Rook/Ceph. If it's going into production, I'd say look at https://rook.io/ - Ceph can do both block and filesystem volumes.
I'm not blaming the victim. I am telling the OP this is hacker news, and not a support forum.
Agreed. I was thinking how, even if you somehow create something in isolation, all it can do is stand on its own. A thing created on top of decades and centuries of other creations stands taller, it has history and context.
> You may not understand their level, and may be unable to negotiate it due to vocabular barrier (people invent non-standard vocab all the time). Your oversimplifications may bear unintended consequences, etc. You must take that into account and create a plan to make it clear.

This isn't actually bad in all cases though. It's like learning about science in primary school. You're gonna get some things simplified in a way that might be considered incorrect by those who are experts, but without some base layer of understanding to bootstrap from, you won't be able to become an expert.
> One new interesting feature, though, is the support for string routines

Sounds almost like they're building a language inside a language.
You don't have to run it a entire duplicate of your current infrastructure, just plan for it to happen (depending on impact to your business). Then it means you can think about doing it after a few days of downtime, maybe earlier depending on difficulty/impact.

But, yes, you do have to plan to run it elsewhere and consider wether various features may make it harder for you to move on. vendor lock-in is a known business risk
Pi will automatically throttle before running too hot. And in any case, I doubt most people run their Pis hard at all. I bet most use cases will be completely fine even without that heatsink, with no compromise on the lifespan.
Yeah, in that case I'd say you're best served by having a mini PC at home, connected to an UPS (or just an old laptop, their UPS is their battery) and have your control plane be on it.

I sympathize with your reservations, it's just that at this stage of my life I am OK with having some loose ends in my infrastructure. To me CF is a good tradeoff (also I am pretty sure their free tier is quite generous? but maybe I am thinking different kinds of services) for the moment.

But in light of the recent French court order to main providers (CF included) to poison DNS in order to fight the anti-piracy circumventing users... maybe we should just move the entire control plane to Tor, or use the regular internet but doubly/triply encrypted, or use stuff like Freenet / NNCP etc.

I'll arrive at your conundrum soon enough though, I too want complete independence but I am slightly scared because the current internet infrastructure is constantly under attack to make it more malleable to censorship. Whatever people might think of piracy or any other scapegoat ("think of the children" seems to always be the adage) censorship is still not okay.
That is true, but I think rushing to add AI features made it a completely different situation.

We get a lot of MVP crap before, don't get me wrong. But at least it was understood crap. Sure it may have bugs in it and that is to be expected. But there was a limit in how wrong it could go. Since at the end of the day it was still limited to the code within the application and the server (if there is one).

Meanwhile when an over-reliance on an LLM goes wrong, depending on how it goes wrong could be catastrophic.

As we have seen time and time again just in the last couple months, when LLM's are shoved into something we seem to get a serious lack of testing under the guise of "beta".
I wonder if that's what the adapter supplies, and the device can actually do 12-30V or whatnot.

What I found as an interesting point is the concept that an imitator can't really tell it a different way, because to explain something from a different angle requires you to see it as a 3d object, and not as a flat painting just seeing the result, not everything that goes behind it.

Thinking up how to use that.. How to use the concept of explain something to me, and me not understanding to see how deeply they get it.

STOP with the de-humanizing methodologies.

There is no clean way to bond your life with another life. No clean way to procreate, or die or grieve.

It’s all messy and stressful. But when you turn courtship into a “lifehack” you are not increasing authenticity and control, you are alienating yourself from your own process.

An authentic way to approach “Agile dating” would be to be clear with yourself about who you are and what you want. Then act from that. Don’t accept any best practices. Apply heuristics that seem reasonable. If that happens to map to the elaborate process that this author calls agile dating, so be it.

But I’m guessing that a simpler approach would work better for most of us.

4o is pretty bad in my experience. They shouldn't have used the "4.0" naming for it or said its Lite or something. Instead they are trying to market it as roughly equivalent which it definitely is not.
The brexit referendum was supposed to answer the question once and for all, and stop the tory party split. Instead we have a split down the middle, and the split is far further right than it was in the Major/Redwood days of the 90s.

8 years on we're seeing the tory party massively damaged, an outside chance of FPTP meaning they're neither the second largest party in seats or in votes. There's a crazy situation where half the tory voters are literally voting for a company run by Nigel Farage. I suspect 90% of the voters would struggle to name anyone else in that company (it's not a party the way the tories or greens are).

Brexit didn't solve the problem, there's always something else to blame.

One of the most pivotal moments in UK political history was Farage surviving the 2010 plane crash. There's just nobody else as large on that side of the aisle that can operate outside of the party structure (including Johnson)

This is sort of like why plumbers hate chemical drain cleaners: you call the plumber only on the times that it doesn't work, and then pay them handsomely to clean up your mess. For all the times that Drano works, you never call the plumber in the first place, and so they never see it.

Likewise, you only hire a SRE if a.) you have the budget to hire at all, which the vast majority of startups do not and b.) reliability is shitty enough that you need to hire someone to fix it. All the Django setups that hum along fine do not need SREs; the founders continue to rake in the money and don't need to hire anyone.
Okay, now do explain your paper’s result on this specific JIT compiler optimization that allows vectorization in certain cases?

Like, I never got further than “computers can only execute and understand these few specific commands” before the layman party gave up.

It is absolutely the same with plenty of mathematical topics (like, just the field of abstract algebra is absolutely mind boggling for almost everyone), physics, engineering, etc. Sure, one might bring up Feynman, but physics does have several topics that are easy to grasp - it’s literally about the world around us, and while a layman may not understand anything about the complex calculations about, say, an internal combustion engine, they will find it accessible due to the common ground.

For me, I'm not worried about artificial beings being smarter than us being able to reason about things better.

I am far far far more worried what a corporation would do. Look at the TikTok algorithm and how good it is at hijacking our thought process. Do I need to fear it in and of itself? No. I fear the company using it to drive behaviors a certain way because it is profitable.

I think Westworld had a great version of this. They create a super intelligent computer, and they could have just as easily asked it to solve climate change as to manipulate stocks. And ultimately the machine wasn't after anything, just working on a directive. And when asked to shut down, it did. (season 3)

Thats the point here, its all about who gets to direct it, and if it is Elon Musk, I fear for our future.

> still wants Trump badly enough

IMHO it's less about "badly enough", I know very few people who are die-hard Trump supporters, but do know many centrist types who just aren't very enthusiastic with Biden and Harris in the past four years.

The Democrats should really pick someone more desirable for the majority of Americans. I know there are decent options, even if not the level of exciting as Obama was in 2008.

It's similar to 2016, and many people could not understand that much of the Trump vote was basically just not thrilled about Hillary Clinton, and was hardly a rally behind Trump.

ChatGPT is an idea generator. As a user, it's your job to validate and test its generated hypotheses. If you altogether dismiss ChatGPT by calling it bullshit, it means you are cognitively too lazy to test any hypotheses.

I mean sure... I think we should be careful to avoid thinking any system that is attempting human like intelligence to be perfect.

It's a great post. However, I don't think I've ever met someone who was _trying_ to be an "imitator".

Keep in mind that the majority of the world's population grow up in places with little access to the information one needs to be exposed to to become an "expert".

So go easy on imitators. Help guide them to enlightenment.

This is because September used to be the seventh month. March was the new year and coinsided with spring planting, the spring equinox.

I find it kind of ironic that an article about misperceiving expertise fails to mention the Dunning-Krueger effect[0], especially with passages like:

The only way it would have "benefited" would be that the web would only be developed by lisp programmers.

To the vast majority of programmers, syntax matters. C-style with brackets, or python whitespace, or Ruby do/end, these fit better the brains of the majority of programmers. Perhaps not the majority of HN readers but the majority of corporate devs.

Another example of this is Erlang and Elixir. Elixir adds a couple of features over Erlang, macros and protocols, but Erlang does everything else. What made Elixir take off where Erlang didn't, after decades, is that Elixir has a syntax that people are comfortable with. Erlang has a syntax that will summon Cthulu.
> I’ve never done that before but how hard could it be

Funny, the founders of a lot of successful startups usually tell an anecdote similar to this. They will often undertake a challenge, naively thinking that it’s easy only to find out how colossal actually is. Then this becomes their moat or differentiator.
Ironically Rust binaries link to libc.

I think the surprising thing would be if the logic goes high frequency -> spiky waveform -> spiky shape, because that would imply that that particular representation of the sound is being used as part of the intuition. Which would be unusual, as it's not generally how people experience sound (for sure the opposite doesn't really occur: even someone very used to looking at waveforms will struggled to actually understand a sound by looking at the waveform to anywhere near the detail of listening to it). Even with synesthesia it tends to be associated with colors/feelings/smells etc in a way that doesn't tend to match with technical representation of sound.
Whether it's worth reading isn't a question others can answer for you, but "a ton of experience programming" definitely doesn't imply it isn't worth reading as it's perfectly possible to get through an entire programming career without encountering the ideas and ways of thinking that you'll find in it.

Japanese e would only ever be [ɛ]. The constructs to produce an [e] sound would be transliterated as "ei" (the quoted are just letters, not meant to be IPA).

So, while I disagree that they sound "exactly the same", I do agree that in most cases the differences between [e] and [ɛ] wouldn't be enough to cause confusion between speakers of either language.
The article says it also works in some languages without a writing system.
Thanks for the playlist! I've already been going through the later videos.
it's somewhat true, though; python is vulnerable to concurrency errors that rust isn't (rust's concept of safety isn't just memory safety), and while python can detect type errors reliably at run time, that only makes the program fail in a way that is easy to debug and probably won't corrupt your data. for many purposes that is not an adequate substitute for detecting the problem at compile time so that it cannot fail at run time

on the other hand, python is more productive than rust, so if you're time-constrained, sometimes using python will get you a higher-quality product, for example because it's better tested or has a less error-prone or more forgiving user interface. both python and rust fail only at run time when they detect index errors, and users can make dangerous errors with any potentially dangerous program

on the gripping hand, rust runs enormously faster than python, and sometimes optimization trades off against testing time and ui iteration time in the same way that writing more code does, and while writing python is faster, reading it often isn't, so there may be some size of program above which python has no advantages

so i think it's better to say that the question is based on an oversimplification rather than an error. to explain this to a layman i would probably tell some stories of programmers working late nights and delivering unusable guis

I build a platform which hosts a few thousand services and tens of thousands of nodes. Currently, those services need to each internally manage replicating data and need to be aware of failure domains (host, rack, data center).

What I would like to do is develop a system where applications just need to request replicated volumes which span a specific failure domain and push that logic down to the platform.

> "The core of the matter lays in establishing a reference point for our measurement, where light remains unaffected by Earth's rotational effect. Given our inability to halt Earth's from spinning, we devised a workaround: splitting the optical fiber into two equal-length coils and connecting them via an optical switch," explains lead author Raffaele Silvestri.

>Doesn't at all feel right statistically

Why not? Many unrelated languages steer towards the open syllable rule. It's basically the only similarity between Japanese and African languages. Open syllables without complex consonant clusters are easier to pronounce.

Say, Proto-Slavic phonetics mostly allowed only open syllables, although its ancestor and descendants allow more complex clusters. For example, Proto-Indoeuropean domos "house" became Proto-Slavic domu, and mater "mother" became mati.

Let's list some Proto-Slavic words: noga "foot", ronka "hand", nosu "nose", oko "eye", podushiwa "foot sole", noguti "nail" etc.

You can cherrypick many languages like that (Finnish, Maori, Basque, even French to some extent)

It would be much more surprising if they found 2 unrelated languages and they both had same complex clusters a la Georgian (mtsvrtneli "trainer").
