Thanks for clarifying your inputs.

> This misses the point, what we need is something more like Terraform, which has a way to get dynamic information from resource values that are assigned by the system. One such example would be the secret that the postgres operator generates for connecting in the api server that needs access.

It is also already possible to inject values from secrets during runtime. You can for example create a Glasskube package that has a dependency on cnpg and add a `cluster.yaml` to your package and then dynamically patch the connection string (or credentials) from it to your deployment.

See the "ValueFrom" section of our configuration documentation for the exact inner workings: https://glasskube.dev/docs/design/package-config/
I'd argue that once you've profited from it, that's a bright line that it's no longer purely yours to dispose of as you see fit.
There was a brief period when the frontend dev world believed the most performant way to have everyone load, say, jquery, would be for every site to load it from the same CDN URL. From a trustworthy provider like Google, of course.

It turned out the browser domain sandboxing wasn’t as good as we thought, so this opened up side channel attacks, which led to browsers getting rid of cross-domain cache sharing; and of course it turns out that there’s really no such thing as a ‘trustworthy provider’ so the web dev community memory-holed that little side adventure and pivoted to npm.

Which is going GREAT by the way.

The advice is still out there, of course. W3schools says:

> One big advantage of using the hosted jQuery from Google:

> Many users already have downloaded jQuery from Google when visiting another site. As a result, it will be loaded from cache when they visit your site

https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_get_started.asp

Which hasn’t been true for years, but hey.

Probably both, IMHO.
It can't decide human intent flawlessly, but the point of a CRDT is that it does choose one, and all others choose the same one regardless of how they got there.

Git does not do this, so it is not a CRDT. The content-addressable-database portion of git sorta fits this though (as does any other content-addressable system).
The people critiquing Israel are almost universally singling Israel out for critique.

They're not, of course.

But labeling them as such is one of the myriad ways by which criticism of Israel gets automatically branded as you-know-what.
> I don't see any evidence to suggest the modern model that Tesla has developed for their vision system is their limiting factor in the slightest to reach L4/L5

For one, frame rate and processing rate on human eyes is way higher than cameras. Dynamic range is another. Also, Cruise and Waymo are some of the only companies that have hard internal data / ability to simulate how well their safety drivers do, and in the very same scenario what their software driver will do. Without LiDAR you can't build that simulation, and once you have that data if you continue to use HD Maps and LiDAR there's probably a good reason.

> Dogs jump into the road in front of cars all the time and get killed, and kids get endangered at school bus crossings. That's a reality of life that robotaxis do not need to solve.

Robotaxis need to avoid any accident that a human would be able to avoid.

> IR and thermal sensing are unnecessary if the bar is human level

See, you could say this if you had some data that showed that incidents per X miles (when the vehicle is driving at night) is sufficiently low, + if the software passes some contrived scenarios to gut-check its ability to see in the dark with the necessary reliability. But you don't have that data, do you? Someone has it though :) and I'd argue regulators should have it too.
> By almost any objective metric, there is something wrong with the school system,

In a free market, how do you signal that you want a higher-quality product? Buehler? Buehler?

Frankly, given the top-down constraints, and the amazingly low budget, its pretty damn amazing they are doing so well.

I'm transitioning to teaching from programming on wall street. I expect my first year's salary as a teacher to be less than half of what my annual bonus was.

You can't solve every problem by throwing money at it---but you can't solve every problem by NOT throwing money at it either :-)
> For gcc and the target architecture that is compiling that code it is UB so it is optimizing things with that information

For every C and C++ standards compliant compiler it is UB. Every single one. By definition, whether or not the compiler then takes advantage of that. It may or may not be legal on the target machine in question, but C and C++ don't target the machine in question, they target an abstract machine with certain properties. The behavior of the abstract machine is then translated to behavior on the target machine. Dereferencing the nullptr on the abstract machine can result in any behavior at all, including what you describe here, but it is not promised by the standard.

If you want to access memory at address zero, you cannot do it in a defined way from within the language. You can drop to assembly or use compiler-defined extensions, but if you don't do it like that, you are playing with UB.
IMAO, the stone gardens could have at least three reasonable uses.

It seems that they are distributed in coastal areas. It seems also that many moai were built or moved to those areas. Therefore there must be a place, somewhere in the island with a lot of accumulated rubble, but this place will not be just a lot of tuff gravel.

To cut a rock, you need something harder. Egyptians used metals, quarz sand and granite but you can't always find rhyolite in a volcanic island. I assume that there is not a source of granite on Eastern Island and that mining metals or diamonds is out of the table.

We could speculate that antique sculptors learned soon that basalt was the most convenient source of polishing moai. Can be found everywhere in a volcanic island, and is harder than tuff.

If we don't find art carved in basalt in that culture, that would suggest that the culture was restricted to carve soft rocks only, by lack of a source of tools harder than basalt in a significant amount.

Is also logical to assume that after a while the polishing material gets worn and must be discarded and replaced after shrinking to a size too small to be manageable.

If this size is the same of the gravel found in the stone gardens, we have a theory here about the origin of this rubble accumulations, even if they were recycled later for culturing sweet potato wines.
I used KeePassXC with syncthing over my laptop/server/phone and frequently get sync conflicts. Unlike with some files though these are very easy to resolve by hand as there's an option to merge in another file, after which you can delete it.
Waymo is in a better position because:

1. Robotaxi is a better target than general self-driving because the human baseline is much lower for robotaxis (most people dislike their experience with uber, while most people think that they are a better-than-average driver)

2. Google took the high road on safety. The move-slow-and-dont-break-things DNA of Google (that hurts them in so many domains) is a golden asset in self-driving.
No. It means it’s only a matter of time before this technology breaks the law and kills someone.
I've had a bent toward entrepreneurship since I was a child (probably because I grew up in a very poor family and if I wanted/needed any money I had to figure out a way to make it myself), but I started my first really serious business because of a bit of a crisis:

The company I worked for folded, I had a very young child, and the job market was disastrous in my area at the time.

That put me squarely in a "nothing to lose" place, which took the risk out of starting a business. So I did, teaming up with the president of the company that closed. That business was a modest success: it didn't make me wealthy, but it did eventually provide enough income to support my family and to allow me to bankroll my next business. It was off to the races after that.
It is not, but (for reasons unknown to me) it doesn't quote parameters in the default mode. Consider:

touch "a b"
ls | xargs rm # this won't work, rm gets two parameters
ls | xargs -i,, rm ,, # this will work
As a potential customer, Waymo's careful approach seems much more appealing to me. I don't want to ride in a move fast and break things robotaxi when it's snowing in Chicago.

It’s also interesting that Thorp met a young Ken Griffin and gave him some advice/materials in starting out.

> We need some type of off-ramp

Now, we're talking. Often, there will be handwringing about low-wage jobs from people who wouldn't dream of working low-wage jobs and who benefit from the existence of low-wage jobs. Often, that will be invoked as a rebuke to automation. But, automation in general isn't a threat to workers or well-being. In fact it's productivity gain which benefits well-being by lowering costs and raising living standards. If a portion of those productivity gains aren't used to help the people they displace, that's a matter of policy not of technology.
That’s not an argument to not tax the rich
NYU Tandon Online Masters Students Advertise They've Got a Regular Master's
Basically I heard from a person doing an Online Master's at the NYU Tandon School that they've been told by the faculty they can advertise their masters as a regular in person one and that the certificate doesn't state anywhere that it's an online one. On top of that, they are paying only a fraction of the cost of what an onsite master would cost there.

Not only do I find that infuriating and deceitful, I also believe that it paints NYU in such a bad light and that it's no longer what it used to be. Like, they don't even require IELTS or TOEFL, just a random Duolingo test that's whatever. The person who told me about it doesn't even speak English on a C1 Level.

My question is twofold:
1. Isn't that unfair to those doing and paying for an onsite masters?
2. Isn't that deceitful in the job market? If you were hiring, would you now pay as much attention to a degree from NYU? What if the degree holder tried to fool you about how they received it?
Why are you so upset that people derive a lot of value from Windows? Enough that they want to keep using it, and defend it because they don't agree with the "everything is broken" meme.
Just tried it, love the component search and comparison functionality! Much better than digikey and mousers tools. Will try it in some upcoming projects, this is the only EE focused LLM tool I have seen so far. Great job!
Ask HN: AI chat that puts third-party characterizations in conversation?
When reading a piece of non-fiction, it would be nice to highlight a paragraph and request an alternative point of view.

I bet one problem with supporting repos is that the 200K context can fill up quick. Need to be selective with what files are in the context. If the repo was integrated, and you could select which files are in the current context, that could be good.
Hopefully it is native application rather than another Webview or Electron-based. There are already good ones.
There is no dilemma! We need a harsh societal reminder that you are not responsible for the actions of other people. It’s a moral fallacy to say that JA would be responsible for getting informants killed (if any were actually killed—they weren’t) by exercising fundamental inalienable freedoms. If somebody kills an informant, that is on them. This mindset of culpability for consequences of exposing evil is literally how evil festers and wins. Don’t fall victim to evil’s rhetorical agenda.
I use OpenAI and Anthropic tools for brainstorming/rubber ducking/sanity checks.

I know that the LLM provided specifics are almost never good enough for a final answer. However, LLMs can get me to think out of my own personal box.

Basically, this has replaced what I once used to get out of being surrounded by human peers. However, I was reticent to bother humans, and I have no such reservations about asking a chatbot a dumb question.
Had that thought too. Unfortunately, almost every history story lately has started to have that suspicion filter for something that was suddenly "discovered."
>They’ll probably just file chargebacks and let you argue with their credit card company.

aka. "we do a little wire fraud"

More seriously, if the merchant has a clearly documented "no refunds" policy they'll probably prevail in chargeback. Also, if you're the type of person who's going to chargeback a $10 umbrella, you're probably not going to have a credit card to do chargebacks with for long.

>The specific actions aren’t really the point, the point is that it rapidly becomes an antagonistic relationship, which is bad for the market in aggregate.

Having a "no refunds" policy is an "antagonistic relationship" now?
Should they have to un-bundle Windows Explorer, Notepad, Photo Viewer, Control Panel, and all the other utilities as well, under the same logic? If not, why?

I fully agree that appeals to authority should be ignored. My profile has nothing to do with how right or wrong I might be.

Ad hominem arguments, however, should also be ignored. Saying that I'm unqualified doesn't prove anything and adds nothing to the discussion.

If you have specific criticisms of my reasoning, I'm more than happy to listen. If all you have are personal insults, however, well, enjoy the rest of your day.

IMO the bar is well above human-level if you actually want to attain the level of trust necessary to remove the steering wheel from a car.

> humans rely on two eyes in the driver seat

Eyes which are orders of magnitude capable than the best cameras, and Teslas come with mediocre cameras, not the best. Eyes which are connected to a brain, and ML is a looooong ways from rivaling that.

Robotaxis do not need to account for things jumping out unexpectedly in front of them?
I'm not sure it was "pointers" but it was some very low cost way to change ownership of memory between the CPU and GPU.

They had some fancy marketing name for it at the time. But it wasn't on all chips, it should have been. Even if it was dog slow between PCIe GPU and CPU the unified interface would have been the right way to go. Also, amenable to automated scheduling.

The point still stand though, I want entirely unified GPU and CPU memory.
America has a set of very specific circumstances out of which capitalism is only one big factor and most of the others can't really be reproduced elsewhere.

Huge access to two oceans (basically can't ever be blockaded - not reproducible by say, Germany), massive amount of raw resources (probably only outdone by Russia - not reproducible by, for example, Japan), huge population (#3 in the world - not reproducible by, for example, Switzerland).

The US has a large well educated middle class, which is probably it's greatest independent achievement, but let's not forget that other countries just couldn't do what the US did, due to factors outside their control.

Germany could become hyper capitalistic tomorrow and it still couldn't frack its way to oil and gas independence. Or produce food for 300 million people if it integrated that many immigrants.

I wouldn't just pat myself on the back as an American. Not everything is a factor of what Americans themselves did.

On top of that, to put it in neutral terms, not everything given by the US is a net plus. The US invented the transistor but it also invented spam and selling private data.
I went to public school for high school - sending my kid to public school.

One thing that is interesting to me. If you look at per pupil funding, and the number of kids in a classroom with ONE teacher - where is the money going?

We did preschool with a fraction of the cost and the teacher ratio was between 1:4 and 1:6. The the public school (with more per pupil funding per student by a huge margin) is 1:25-1:35!

Quick math:

An SFUSD fifth grade class might have 32 students. SFUSD does $24K per student lets say. Let's say indirect county / state / federal costs are another 15% so total system spend is $27K. That get's us to $860,000 in funding per year per class. Let's say a teacher is 123K per year. That would be 7 teachers. The question then is how much overhead is reasonable?
Ask HN: What libraries allow resilient distributed computing/network/storage?
What technology/github libraries do you use to build a distributed network of nodes (individual clients) which can perform computing, network calls to the internet, store data for distribution by other nodes?

GUN.eco seems interesting but I don't understand the underlying tech?

Bitorrent based library seems to provide the distribution but no way to direct and control computing/network on peers.

> I always prefer to self-host my dependencies

Ime this has always been standard practice for production code at all the companies I've worked at and with as a SWE or PM - store dependencies within your own internal Artifactory, have it checked by a vuln scanner, and then called and deployed.

That said, I came out of the Enterprise SaaS and Infra space so maybe workflows are different in B2C, but I didn't a difference in the customer calls I've been on.

I guess my question is why your employer or any other org would not follow the model above?
Copy and paste retaining style is one of the most annoying things in normie computing. Just why? And on teams it basically infects any other text you right afterwards.
And often their core responsibility will be security, governance, vendor management, digital transformation etc. Not the actual operations of the business or the comfort and productivity of staff.
Or, much shorter reply than my other one: when I was a kid my mother took me to the public library which was a bit away so we took the streetcar. Passengers entered and bought tickets from the tram driver, so I asked my mom, can the driver keep the money he's getting? I found it highly unjustified and unjust he has to turn over the money when his work is done. After all, Labor is entitled to all it produces.
At the height of Covid I know a bunch of companies that started using Teams to effectively monitor their employee idle time at PCs. Teams had a much more robust admin/usage reporting system. That's when those little mouse jigglers started showing up all over Amazon to keep your machine from appearing idle.

I'm in a decent amount of engineering social channels and while I never heard someone leave specifically for that i could see it. I absolutely saw people not take jobs because of it.

Which, considering all of the layoffs and how the markets going now, I miss having that power.
Could have used etsy's help back in 2013:

“Seeing more items faster is presumed to be a better experience”, McKinley said. But the A/B tests showed various negative effects of the feature, including fewer clicks on the results and fewer items “favorited” from the infinite results page. And curiously, while users didn’t buy fewer items overall, “they just stopped using search to find these items.”
