You are thinking of big ag doing stuff like corn and beans with a combine. Farming can be as big or small as you want it to be. You can be a farmer on 1 acre of land. This is not a good take.

Also anecdotally, I’ve been running 12th gen Dells (over a decade old at this point) for several years. I’ve had some RAM sticks report ECC failures (reseat them), an HBA lose its mind and cause the ZFS pool to offline (reseat the HBA and its cables), and precisely one actual failure – a PSU. They’re redundant and hot-swappable, so I bought a new one and fixed it.
>I dislike people that refuse to ship anything but PWAs

What a weird thing to get all bent out of shape over. People do things a different way than you, get over it. If someone wants to only ship PWAs, why does that bother you so much? Because they're hurting users, and you're trying to protect them?

This is a variation of famous jokes about Radio Yerevan, very popular in former soviet states.

I live in Poland and I know this version:

Is it true that they give away cars on Red Square?

Radio Yerevan answers: not cars, only bicycles, not on Red Square, but near the Warsaw station, and they don't give them away, they steal them.

If the failure is severe enough, ultimately yes. There is only so much bailing out that a capitalist free market country can provide.

No doubt the US government will bail out Boeing at least once, but I would expect that to be it. A one last chance point of no return. If Boeing ever gets to that point and still fails further, the US will have no choice but to have them fail.

On the plus side, it's not like Boeing going under is an actual national security threat. There is nothing wrong with relying on Airbus who will no doubt move into the newly vacant market spaces, we are all NATO allies aren't we? To say nothing of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman who do a better job of military aviation anyway.

>> re-organizing into worker ownership and control

> What makes you think such a system would work better than private or state ownership?

Why would private ownership where the majority of shareholders are employees be worse than other types of private ownership?

I can think of a few advantages, like the shareholders being more motivated by long term sustainable business practices instead of squeezing for quarterly profits at the expense of the health of the business, or PE schemes like selling assets and leasing them back to the company to extract temporary value while setting the business up for failure.
to go from a supernova to a black hole, it takes a couple of days. For a galaxy to be rearranged by a black hole, it take a couple of millennia. (my information is not precise nor the latest, so it could have been revised recently.)
I see this kind of comment every time someone decides to take a different path. Pessimistic sounds smart I guess. Well, you are wrong. I have done it myself, started a farm on a whim a couple years back, and did just fine! And no I don't know what hard work you're talking about, I'm much healthier than I was sitting at a desk all day long.
Curious how many in Germany since there if you torrent a MP3/movie you get a letter from some Munich law firm who bought your logs from your ISP, acting on behalf of movie studios and record labels, asking you to pay them a fine(cough protection racket cough) otherwise they threaten to take you to court on behalf of the IP owners to fully extort you.
I do a lot of farming. Lots of S3 and zmq and vision and sensors. Pretty demanding job.
there's no point in banning it. clothing is extremely well suited for a market-based solution.

if there are problems with waste and recycling then that's an argument for taxing it and using that revenue to fund waste management.
Because OSS is a thankless job and _free volunteer_ work. The more niche something is such as Windows kernel clone development, the ridiculously smaller pool of potential contributors that may even want to contribute _their personal free time_ to spend on it.

And I come from the perspective of other large niche OSS projects.

I’ve only ever seen a single dev team managing their own K8s cluster. If by deploy you mean “they merge a branch which triggers a lot of automation that causes their code to deploy,” you don’t need K8s for that.

Don’t get me wrong, I like K8s and run it at home, and I’d take it any day over ECS or the like at work, but it’s not like you can’t achieve a very similar outcome without it.

This is true but I think it's iterative, cyclic. It applies to any art and craft, really. You alternate between perceiving and projecting, receiving and creating.
> They should, it's basic insurance.

If you grow corn: It can be sold as a future, and you can have crop insurance on it.

IM not sure you grasp what a future is in the case of a farmer...

Now if your in construction, or buying fuel a future can be insurance. Or a risky bet.

None of that is like your heath or home owners or car insurance.... unless you dont have them.
> More than 13 percent of students admitted to USC, Santa Clara University and Stanford in 2022 were related to alumni, according to numbers the schools had to report under past legislation.

Obviously, there are political and legal ways for private universities to fight this proposed law.

But I suspect there's also a statistical approach, that would ~99% do the job. If you collected enough data points on each applicant, then started looking at correlations - would there be an applicant-weighting formula which obviously ignored "legacy"...but gave results close enough for the Office of Development to happily sign off on it?

Evil Overdeans might also try a procedural approach. Say, Stanford started an expensive summer program for "gifted" 15-year-olds. Participants in that program might naturally weight toward children of well-to-do Stanford alumni. And doing well in such a program would be an oh-so-reasonable basis for favoring those kids a few years later...

It would be very interesting to read the text of what is actually passed into law (if anything), to see what loopholes it contains.
I think you misunderstood the parent comment. They're not talking about defining the reals by setting up a mapping where each real number corresponds to a unique natural number. They're talking about defining the reals by setting up a mapping where each real number corresponds to a unique mapping from the natural numbers to {0, 1} (i.e. a unique binary sequence). The set of all binary sequences is isomorphic to the power set of the natural numbers, which is uncountable.
>I wish designers of vehicles - particularly cars, trains and busses, would work to minimize jerk, snap and crackle.

They do.

>Turns out if you minimize those, you get a far more comfortable ride. It matters far more than acceleration.

They know that this is the case. And put a lot of effort into making sure your car has the desired feel.

Besides your comfort these considerations are extremely important for the durability analysis for the vehicle.

>Finite element models of the whole system (tyres and suspension components and flexing elements of the vehicle body and road/track) can quickly allow analysis of the jerk, snap and crackle, and allow tuning of damping and drive system control loops to make a far more comfortable ride.

Finite element simulations are undesirable, they are extremely calculation expensive for those kind of large models and somewhat unsuitable. They are used in crash tests.

For the application you described multi body systems are used, where the car is decomposed into its functional components, which can be modeled either as stiff or flexible. With that you have a reasonably accurate model of a car which you can use to test on a virtual test track.

Basically every competent car manufacturer is doing this.
No, unfortunately those factors are all very related.

Once you have GUI ETL tools, in my experience, you can't modularise because the ETL tool makes assumptions about where the boundaries are that are different from what suit the domain in question. Observability falls over because you're now limited to the ETL tool instead of the domain. Scale suffers because now the ETL data model needs to be preserved and high-performance tricks might need the entire tool to be worked around, etc, etc.

Code is the highest-performance environment we have for working with huge complex systems made of if statements and loops. Giving that up to go to a tool doesn't actually yield any advantages; there needs to be an abstraction with huge practical benifits and a DAG isn't it. Modeling a DAG in a true programming language isn't hard enough to justify moving away from an IDE.

An ETL pipeline in practice is still uncomfortably close to a big spaghetti of if-thens and loops, tooling and extra models create patterns that often block a lot of the useful properties you list. The real gains come from not writing a custom scheduler, but splitting out the valuable scheduler from the ETL tool means that you have a scheduler, not an ETL tool. Sometimes there is an ecosystem of adaptors that makes a big difference, but if that doesn't meet your engineering requirements then the tool is useless (because you don't have any real levers to pull on the scale/observability/modularity and maintainability front).

I think up to jerk is intuitive, even if the term isn't well-known. Most people have no problem figuring out how to ease-up on brakes in a car, and a hobbyist can usually figure out how to make things smoother when ramping up or down a motor.
this specific proposal had the benefit of already having had votes on it, so you could've probably found the parties' voting records there. But yeah, there's a broader issue with how european politics is approached since it is always so nationalized that these kind of votes end up as referendums on the national government, which in turn breeds ignorance of what the EU is responsible for and for what it isn't which feeds the vicious cycle of apathy

I'm mildly optimistic it'll get better since the EU and EU politicians are getting more visible. I just hope we don't overshoot and end up where the US is right now where people seem to think the president does everything at all times at all levels

Btw, I'm assuming you meant "MEP candidate" when you say "deputy candidate", in english as far as I can tell deputy lost the meaning of "legislature member" in common use, that remained common in Latin languages (italian here, we use the same term)

Just an FYI that it might confuse some people (like it did with me before I switched to thinking about it in italian) why you were asking the deputies of a candidate instead of the candidates themselves

I'm also not sure "we'll probably only bail you out once" is a great position to take in motivating Boeing and its ownership and governance to make major changes to survive as a company.
Maybe at first, but once you start building all of the IaC and tooling to make it useful and safe at scale, you might as well have just run EKS. Plus, then you can get Argo, which is IMO the single best piece of software from an SRE perspective.
The KC-46 is a 767; AF1 is a 747. Lockheed and Grumman don't compete with those sorts of aircraft; Boeing at the very least holds a monopoly on US-made large airliners.
From a farmer's point of view, futures can allow for relatively cheap insurance against the agricultural product's price moving against you. You're basically negotiating the price of the product before it's ready to sell, with a standardized product on a global marketplace.
shower thoughts:

Galaxies of stars are like people traveling through the cosmos together in one group.

Elliptical galaxies have a direction of travel, that is why they are elliptical.

A galaxy gets it first massive supernova, and a black hole is formed, and it becomes a spiral galaxy, kind of like when a seismic social event happens and everyone gets in line.
I'm not sure there's that much military aid to first world countries. Where there is like with Israel I think generally the US thinks it's strategically advantageous.
I'll take my 5+ weeks off per year (with strict 40 hour maximum weeks and strong work life balance) and you can have your self-employed 2 days per 30 years = 0.06 days off per year. That's 32 minutes of personal time off per year.

it is not a weird term, and is absolutely a thing. a big deal in 2024, really.

back in the day it was just "reading the newspapers and talking to the local cab drivers", but on 2024 you're scanning forums and social media, on top of news sites.

go to a military-related subreddit and start asking questions about stuff, and you'll eventually get an expert to chime in. Make wrong & stupid claims and then have them slap you down and spill some details -- that's how they got dudes to release classified tank info in Warthunder.

dudes in Palestine and in Ukraine are getting killed because they post selfies and tweets that have GPS coordinates in the metadata. Not hidden behind any top secret firewall, easy to find if you're checking VK or Instagram, but very real implications for dropping bombs.

OSINT is also absolutely a thing in Cyber, where you can get a lot of details about a target by reading their press releases -- "Corp X signs big new deal with Oracle" -- which can give you a new attack surface. Phishing, on a long, broad timeline, has a very high success rate, so go onto Linkedin and start connecting to people. Figure out their tech stack, create a Sales Guy account, and start reaching out to Architects and Managers, and then map out the teams that might have elevated access...
I should think proper sandboxing of the rest of the OS should contain the mayhem to the process/container though.

I think most of us on HN understand that "safety" is something you just have to accept is never 100%.

As an example a team responsible for security can test the standard image libraries (libjpeg, etc.) using file-fuzzing to find any bugs around buffer overflows, etc. It's good they do this but we all know that this is still a statistical shot in the dark that may still leave a vector somewhere in the framework.
Exactly like that. Thank you.

> Btw even Nazi radio broadcasting was not blocked during WW2 in GB.

No, they just executed their announcer for treason just for what he said on radio and accepting German citizenship (and it was not even clear he was legally a British subject to begin with...). Also jamming it back then wouldn't have been that easy and worthwhile also the Nazis occasionally allowed POWs to send messages to their families back home.

Btw the scale of censorship and other measures restricting the freedom of speech in Allied states during WW2 (or WW1 for that matter) were was extreme by modern standards.

IANAL and not easy to generalize, but it seems they do not like to cooperate. They have an IP and tell you they act on that info, but that info is not necessarily enough i.e. you're not the only user of that network. You can probably flip a coin what the court's opinion is on that, but I would not sign their documents anyway. And they do not necessarily go to court.
why would they buy logs from your ISP when they can see your IP address when you're seeding? they just have someone watching the seeders lists and pick out german IPs (or maybe it's even automatic!) and then they ask the ISP who owns the IP

Buying internet logs might also be highly illegal in the EU, but IANAL

Normal LLMs are number predictors, yes. But Google Gemini is not a normal LLM: is a lobotomized model of unknown training dataset for supposedly moral-educational filters, from which information about poisonous substances has been cut out.

I don't know how common this is in row crops, but it's exceptionally common in cattle ranching. The majority of cattle producers ("cow-calf" operations, the ones who raise cattle from birth to about half-grown) are smaller operations. They're absolutely jacks-of-all-trades.

Speaking personally, being that most of my work is "virtual", I take up as much physical work as I can, and even create some out of curiosity.

I miss the physical world and being able to touch and understand mechanical objects. In time I have become a decent bike mechanic and I can do some plumbing and electrical work.

watching the german law subreddit, they have started taking people to court now, as too many have caught on to the scheme. In court, like you said, the odds really are as good as tossing a coin.
