I don't think you need to go to higher level math to run into this sort of problem.

When we're in school solving equations, getting to the initial stages of calculus, you start running into identities like sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1, which sometimes but not often are written with three parallel lines instead of two.

What this means is that the functions on either side of the sign are equivalent, any x you pick doesn't change the graph.

At some point, you will be solving simultaneous equations, and someone will have the bright idea that you can just differentiate both sides and just solve that. This happens to be true if you have something like above, it's still valid that the derivative anywhere is the same, since they are the same function. But if you are actually just finding the crossing point of two graphs, like one normally does at that level, then the equality is only for a particular value of x, and there's no reason the derivative would be the same.

In general there's a lot of these little notation things that creep up around that stage. The big one is treating dy/dx like a fraction, which you can do in certain cases to solve differential equations, but only in certain cases. If you don't understand why, you might get very confused about what the symbols actually mean.

That’s called deliberately “running down” a service so it can be sold off on the cheap to your friends. Same thing happened with water and rail privatisation in the UK. When the railways were finally privatised there were several fatal train disasters that lead to the rail network being re-nationalised as Network Rail with the train “operators” now working under a franchise model. These usually make a huge loss that is then subsidised by the government. The franchises are sometimes owned by foreign governments and used as a way to subsidise foreign rail services. Sometimes the franchises are re-nationalised again, such as in the case of services on the East Coast Mainline, and then are suddenly profitable again under public ownership.

It all makes me wonder whether natural monopolies that provide essential public services can ever be run better by a profit making company with little to no democratic oversight.
Ask HN: What does RISC-V custom chips for under $100K mean?
In 2016, SiFive blogged about custom chips for under $100K[1]. What does this mean in practice for a business? What does a business get if they give SiFive $100K? Does the business have to give SiFive anything in addition to $100K such as a schematic? What are the steps between giving SiFive $100K and getting physical chips in your hands?

> At the workshop, people asked me what it would cost to make a chip with SiFive. The room went quiet … people expected me to dance around the topic (like all other people do). Jaws dropped when I simply said “system architects and designers can get customized chips for less than $100,000” – less than the cost of just licensing most CPUs today.

That's very cool, but a lot of effort; I just want one of those with a 3.5mm jack plug, so I can do video calls by speaking into a 70 year old bakelite earpiece, haha
Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the long response time.
I have tried to make this tool target the specific niche of freelancers to meet their needs as best as I could think of. I am currently trying to add more AI features to the tool to make the product stand out more as a lot of the responses have been asking why the software is unique.
I will make sure to show that you can scroll as this is a problem that has been highlighted by a few people.
Again thanks for the feedback, hope this helps answer your question.
HelloJSON - JSON Management Tool (Join JSONs, Write SQL, Create API)
That website is a mess. I'm in the Netherlands.

I started here:

https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organi...

Then checked Netherlands under sublevels and wound up here:

https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organi...

and that seems to have the email address bre@minbuza.nl ?

and finally I end up at https://www.netherlandsandyou.nl/web/pr-eu-brussels which has no contact info.

I'll try that email address anyway.

I guess this is who I contact? https://www.netherlandsandyou.nl/web/pr-eu-brussels

edit:

Well apparently NL is clear in opposing it but I am a citizen of Ireland (it's not really clear who my representation is in that case) so will try them...
The "EU" is not "greenlighting" that proposal this week. The Council of the EU will vote on their negotiation stance, which is merely one step in the legislative process, after which the Commission (which is pro-scanning) and the parliament (which is broadly against it) will get involved.
Dear HNautes,

Politicians in Europe generally do not appreciate mass, repetitive emailing. It might even have an adversarial effect.

If you want to be helpful, please consider more strategic alternatives such raising awareness among the general public, writing thoughtful arguments, or joining specialized non-profits or political parties.
My experience in trying to reproduce one of these rotary VoIP write-ups that make the front page is that the authors tend to leave out some critical piece of their network/general setup that would allow others to reproduce. So in the end, good, interesting write ups but your mileage may vary in trying to reproduce.
Thanks, I will make sure to fix that. I can’t believe I didn't notice. I think it’s because I invested most of my time into building the platform instead of the landing page as I am more towards the development side instead of marketing or sales.
Docker compose is another option.
The future is here in the Netherlands though. Your driver's licence is tapped to your phone so your banking app can read it via NFC, etc. - would not be surprised if other apps require the same (after all, we need to vet who is on social media - it could be kids!)
On the subject of Milk-V, the Oasis[0] can be preordered. I did that, fingers crossed.

Serious specs on the SoC there, SG2380, starting with the main CPU cores; they are P670, these are RVA22+V cores from SiFive with serious performance, faster than e.g. the Cortex-A76 in Raspberry Pi 5. And there's 16(!) of them.

The internet also connects you to your peers. It is your choice who you become reliant on.

DRM is not caused by technology, it is manufactured by laws that make it illegal to break. Operating systems that take control away from the user are not caused by technology, they are made possible by laws that make it illegal to modify them and share those modifications. Doomscrolling is not caused by technology, it is made possible by allowing corporate proaganda (aka ads) which make rage bait profitable.

We are in this dystopia not because technology is inherently evil but becaus this what our governments want.
"Only non-commercial services that are not ad-funded, such as many open source software, are out of scope"

So, what's the use of this law anyway?

I do wonder what open source means though. Is Signal opensource? The client is, the server is not... Matrix is fully open source... And Whatsapp (which my country runs on) which has open source encryption...?
Modus ponens.
Replication is one of the central issues in any empirical science. To confirm results or hypotheses by a repetition procedure is at the basis of any scientific conception. A replication experiment to demonstrate that the same findings can be obtained in any other place by any other researcher is conceived as an operationalization of objectivity. It is the proof that the experiment reflects knowledge that can be separated from the specific circumstances (such as time, place, or persons) under which it was gained.

This is exactly what we do, but with Spark instead. We develop the functions locally in a package and call necessary functions for the job notebooks, and the job notebooks are very minimalistic because of this
That's very cool, but a lot of effort; I just want one of those with a 3.5mm jack plug, so I can do video calls by speaking into a 70 year old bakelite earpiece, haha.

Does anyone know if the electronics in these old phones will allow me to just wire up a 3.5mm cable to the receiver? Or will this need some active amplification?
Depends on what you need. If you look for SSO or a turnkey solution for auth, then maybe have a look at https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel

Check out the community chat, there are many people having implemented auth for self hosted setups that can share some insights.

Space Industry Analysis: Like a Circle in a Spiral
I maintain and develop a message queue-based architecture at work (started around 2014), so here's my take:

* message queues solve some problems that are nowadays easily solved by cloud or k8s or other "smart" infrastructure, like service discovery, load balancer, authentication

* the tooling for HTTPS has gotten much better, so using something else seems less appealing

* it's much easier to get others to write a HTTPS service than one that listens on a RabbitMQ queue, for example

* testing components is easier without the message queue

* I agree with your point about databases

* the need for actual asynchronous and 1:n communication is much lower than we thought.
> Utterly revolting how the EU has become an authoritarian and socialist project expanding its power over EU citizens and countries.

Sounds word by word like a Nigel Farage speech campaigning for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.

It seems that his populist speech lingers a bit after achieving his goal, Brexit.

Nevertheless, years after such an event, there can be no doubt that he did not have the citizens' interests at heart. Of course, neither he nor the other parrots who spread that kind of discourse have faced the consequences of their vile actions.

This is so depressing. If it was publicly owned I’d love to see Royal Mail replicate Amazon Marketplace. The government could even legislate against first preference so Amazon cannot penalise sellers for offering goods for a lower price on alternative platforms. Reducing the 40-50% cut Amazon takes from each sale would go a way to reducing inflation and put money in the government coffers at the same time.

Grady does not miss the point, but repeatedly says he does not understand the social part. This calls for someone else with better expertise to do that kind of analysis.
I find it very funny that this law's entire purpose could very well be defeated by another recent-ish EU law, namely the Digital Markets act.

This law is somewhat workable if you assume that App Stores are the only way for mobile apps to be distributed. If users are allowed to sideload, as an app maker from a non-european country, you can just refuse to comply.

This isn't possible with Apple's current implementation of this law, but that implementation is extremely likely to be ruled noncompliant anyway based on what the EU authorities are saying.
There used to be battery backed ramdisks with SATA interfaces. Are they history now? These days it would be NVMe or whatever, of course.
>> There's a list of things the author did to change the "generate" side in the first two paragraphs of the article.

I can't see where that is. All I can see the author saying they did is prompting and filtering of returned answers, none of which is going anywhere near the weights of the language model (that's where I'm claiming the "generator" is residing).

>> I'm actually busy training an alphazero for the arc problems, which I plan to try and hook up to a language model for reward generation, so we'll see how that fares!

That sounds exciting. Good luck with your effort!
> Germans by-and-large even refuse to use debit cards (pin&chip)

I’d call that a minority, especially since Covid.

> not being able to pay with my card in a restaurant for example

An even smaller minority, especially for restaurants, slightly larger for non-chain fast food places that probably also cheat on taxes.

I don’t carry cash with me and pay almost everything with my MC debit or AMEX credit card, even in cases I can’t do that, I’d be able to pay with girocard (non-MC/Visa debit card, a widespread local system) if I had one.

I mentioned 2 months for the reasons that you said but seeing it from that point of view has made me realize it does seem like a short amount of time.
I am working on adding a demo which showcases the kanban board and the project brief section of the page with the time tracking. I am also going to add limited AI features to the demo(as AI is expensive) to showcase some of the unique features with the possibility of an assistant for you to ask questions.
The demo doesn’t require an account and will be available soon. I will submit another show when I have the demo finished for you all to check out.
This feels like one of those things where you're saying something that is maybe technically correct, so you can feel smart, but has no bearing on reality.

A store near me sells capers in a short-and-fat glass jar (which even a large spoon can fit in easily).

I've been able to leave those in the fridge just fine for 6 months with no noticeable change in quality... just like the tall-and-narrow glass jars.

Based on my personal experience of these two jar shapes, any difference in spoilage-rate is imperceptible.

What are you basing your "spoil faster" on?
Excuse my ignorance, updated the title. Seeing the discussion here, it did attract the wrong audience...

No, Germans quite like the EU. Same as in France, it's that popular and Brexit was so much of a disaster, that the far-right parties stopped talking about leaving the EU and moved to just vague stuff about reforming it.
I’d cold mail the people who have a contribution history on the area of the project already.

Much more likely to be a quick buck for someone already familiar with the code base
>Has anyone in power thought through the scale of this?

Why would they? People in power and judges are always exempt from warrantless mass surveillance. They get actual privacy.
Privatise the profits, socialise the losses.

It's the Tory way. Though one not opposed by nu-Labour when in power during the 2000's.
There is this in the table:

"All services normally provided for remuneration (including ad-funded services) are in scope, without no threshold in size, number of users etc."

"Only non-commercial services that are not ad-funded, such as many open source software, are out of scope"

Weird right? But it would be weirder if they would outlaw the application of mathematical operations on your own messages... oh wait that's what they are proposing... Try and stop me. Are they going to put me in jail because I don't want them to read messages between me and my friends or my wife?
The Erica unit has power supply, an oscillator, an amplifier, a gate, a headphone amplifier wired to a jack, the full gamut of eurorack voltages, pots and switches wired and ready to go.

The product you're comparing it to is lovely and cheap and probably what I would buy, but the Erica device is much better for an electronics beginner-- it has a much lower barrier to get from tinkering to making the beeps and the boops.
Technically yes, but whether the implementations will work in perpetuity is another matter. Think how much resources are needed to keep legacy infrastructure running in the present day. Will these costs go down significantly once the next round of even more complicated bureaucratic management software comes into effect?

The heavy surveillance states of today will prove an interesting case study of software/data upkeep.
The folks over at Tuta interviewed Patrick Breyer about this yesterday and his explanation of Chat Control is downright sinister. Link here: https://youtu.be/wSEI-dg3Hpo

Someone will oversell this. There is too much greed.
That's actually true. While, LLVM/Clang is better compiler, I definitely would expect some example here.
Others already replied about what ETL is.

Wikipedia:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract,_transform,_load

I'll just add:

It is a common term and practice among enterprise software users, i.e. generally medium or large companies that use packaged plus custom software for their business needs.

ETL is not common among startups, because they have a different focus, infrastructure and scale.
>>It's not worth it (or rather: extremely high financial risk) for companies or individuals to do it

The problem is that it's hard to reliably capture value from research. A good example is LLM's. If OpenAI, Google, Meta and AWS had been able to build a wall round GTP3.5 Turbo and above models then I expect that they could have captured all the value of the research effort.. as it is I don't think that is/will be the case - it's almost too easy to replicate as Mistral have shown. Note: I'm not saying it's trivial or something, but if you spend a few $million on it you can get close enough, and then spending a few $million more will get you all the way. Also, I am not talking about building a frontier model today (which requires $100millon or so and some difficult skills/organisation) but rather a model in say 3 years time with the frontier performance of todays models.
More likely, users want something that works, is a good experience, and don't care about apps _per se_ at all.

If Apple wasn't hamstringing PWAs, they might be viable for more categories of software.

Exactly. I've long held the sentiment, that pure functional programming is easier than imperative programming. The only hard part, is switching from an imperative mindset.
I'm going to be the controversial one here and just claim that more harm is currently done by unrestricted social media than any privacy invasions. Predators have free reign to do whatever they wish anonymously and get away with it.

I don't want a dystopian big brother watching over my back, but that's where we are going if somebody doesn't come up with alternatives to control the abuse.

I would personally vote for government issued public/private key cryptography. Sign with your key to verify that you are a citizen of such and such state, gaining a trusted unique identifier without subjecting yourself to a privacy invasion outside a court order. Or a similar system. I'm not an expert on the matter.

Free spaces are still allowed, but as you don't have an pseudonymous identifier, nobody will trust you and should not. Also legislation around this should be built.
You'll know when human-to-human transmission starts the same way we knew at the end of 2019 when a "novel respiratory virus" started spreading: random comments on Hacker News.

Then 3 months later the media will start commenting on it.

And 3 months after that the CDC or whoever will acknowledge that it is not a silly fear/hoax.
When you ask it to do arithmetic operations, its approximation performance is surprisingly good. The expectation is that its responses are good approximations of the query, but not necessarily perfectly accurate. The problem though is that good approximations in the English text domain might care more about good presentation than accurate information content.
There is a value in living in a society that is culturally rich, not just GDP rich.

The last era where we had this kind of society, was probably the 70s and we are still recycling the cultural artefacts of that time.
I agree. If I order an SBC, I expect to be buying a minimum of exactly one bare PCB.

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll add a power supply and a housing to that order -- and maybe a keyboard, a mouse, a display, and/or some storage or other accessories. But it's still rooted as a singular PCB, and that Single Board Computer can be made to do useful work with a minimum of help.

This is profoundly distinct from when I order a laptop, wherein: I'm absolutely not buying a bare PCB. My laptop is, at minimum, absolutely going to include a screen, a keyboard, a pointer, a battery, a power supply, and a housing to tie it all together.

---

If a laptop is an SBC, then a Playstation 5 is an SBC. A pocket supercomputer and an iPad are both SBCs. ONVIF camera? VoIP desk phone? SBC. Asus router? SBC. Wifi-connected light bulb? SBC!

That's madness.

If I'm buying a laptop, then I'm buying a laptop. This laptop may or may not contain an SBC, but it's primarily a laptop. We have a term for these things: It is "laptop."

If I'm buying a light bulb, then I'm buying a light bulb. This light bulb may or may not contain an SBC, but it's primarily a light bulb.

And if I'm buying an SBC, then I'm not implicitly buying anything more than a single-board computer. It is primarily an SBC. (We have a term for these things, too: It is "SBC.")

This kind of excessive and deliberate ambiguation is as dumb as the term "loosing" was ten years ago, and it needs to stop.
That's very useful.

Sounds like an ideal fit for on-prem/co-located systems. The big problem with on-prem is the egress costs from wherever all your data resides.

With on-prem, doubling your hardware doesn't double your ops expenses, so it makes sense, if you already have a server-room, to fill it to capacity.
Maybe add /s ;). It may decline number of hot headed responses
Oh, you can play in “draw 3 by 3” mode too: https://FreeSolitaire.win/turn-three ;-)

(You can also choose the mode in the New Game dialog.)

And yes, it’s indeed harder. The solving algorithm has a winning rate of 52% in “turn one” mode, but only 18% in “turn three”.
You talk a lot about what customers want, but they want apps only because Apple makes PWAs so unpleasant. There are some tech limitations (games might be tougher), but most of what makes PWAs suck is Apple.

In another timeline, Apple chose to double-down on PWAs instead of the App Store after the iphone 1, and PWAs are the majority of non-performance-sensitive smartphone applications.
