Agreed that you lose the benefit of "instant updates" if it's always controlled by a PR.

But Git-style version control with history, diffs, branches and pull requests are pretty useful for feature flags and other "app configuration".

Version history and diffs are great for knowing what flag logic changed when + debugging what broke prod.

Branches let you test and preview flag logic changes in your own isolated branch (which you can point the SDK at) — this is a cleaner approach to having a few separate "environments" like development, staging, production which can drift from each other.

Branches are also great for refactoring the schema / structure of all your flags, e.g. deleting a bunch of flags in one go.

Pull requests and approvals are great for when you're making changes to sensitive flags. E.g. you can lock down specific flags.

Pull requests are also great for onboarding nontechnical team members like PMs or sales reps so they can safely make flag changes themselves but require approval from an engineer (at least while they learn to use the system). Empowering nontechnical people is also why a UI is important.

Branching and pull requests are also a great way to prevent conflicts / overwriting other team members flag changes.

So Git-style features are pretty useful, but you also want the UI and you only want to enforce pull requests for specific flags or team members — this is what we built at Hypertune.

Nope, I had the same experience. Family of 5 trip to Manhattan and we looked at possibly taking the train into the city but it made no sense financially, even after accounting for the outrageous parking costs in lower Manhattan. For one or two people mass transit is a no-brainer, three was roughly break even, but once you have a bigger group you're pretty much stuck driving.
> I have a feeling if you sprung for this you would be buying an expensive project with lots of driver work left to do.

I think that is exactly the stage in the life-cycle that the ecosystem is currently in. This is for those people to start working. The previous level of getting the Linux kernel working is done, now it's onto the drivers.

After this will be ironing out power management and Wayland issues.

Only after that will it be ready for the end consumer. Thousand miles, first steps sort of thing, but yeah, it's not ready for Linus to drop and then benchmark CS2 on.
Going off on a tangent here, but thanks for posting a reality check for the comment the gp made (that's no offense to gp; I get their thought process and why they would think Tokyo was more mass-transit friendly (it still could be more non-auto friendly on some other dimension (e.g., more pedestrians and therefore less auto-reliance but I'm not making that claim)).

Re the reality check, though, I wonder if this is going to be one of the no-questions-asked positives from AI. If, every time someone makes a claim that's not, but can be quantified, similar to what you just did with these ridership and population stats, an AI umpire would cite the stats behind the claim to better-educate the audience about the reality. Of course this assumes a non-biased "AI," but it seems like something that could become a reality sooner than later. I experience this multiple times per day, on HN a lot, where people make claims and I'm like "is that really true?" And I'm not being an ass; I'm always genuinely asking the question to make sure I'm getting properly educated.

P.s. I just typed "is Tokyo more transit friendly than New York City?" into 3.5 (yes, I'm still on 3.5. Some of us HN folks are actually tech laggards!). I won't paste the answer here since no one will read the comment given its absurd length, but your human answer is better, and more to the point, than 3.5 (+1 for humanity, I guess).
I'm saying if an adult man can't bench press 70kg then they are unhealthily frail, yes.

"Doesn't work out at all" is a problem. That's unhealthy and decreases their quality of life and shortens their lifespan. Our concept of "normal" in Western countries today is so far removed from what humans evolved to do and is good for us.

The most basic physical activity (whether playing sports, doing manual labor or any exercise program) should be enough to do a bodyweight benchpress.

2x bodyweight is an accomplishment that requires dedicated weight lifting. 1x bodyweight is something that basically every man 100 years ago could have done.
One day we will research a boson particle that can be fired at the air and cause an abrupt polarization allowing for planes to travel through with very little air resistance.
The standard that you must meet to get a pilots license is being able to hold your altitude within 100 feet in a 360* turn. A 40 foot

He's not saying the drop was 40 feet instantaneously, he's saying the turbulence and the subsequent recovery only caused a 40 foot deviation from the assigned altitude.

Just for reference, a descent rate on a standard flight is pretty normal at 40 feet per second. Some descent profiles can double that. The NCAA diver will hit the water at 46 feet per second.

Can you articulate what you think the conflict is?
My understanding is as follows:
Lower orbits are faster because you need more radial ("forward" or outward) velocity to keep the orbit in equilibrium with the stronger pull of gravity as you get closer to the orbited body. In to reach a lower orbit from a higher one, though, and thus go faster, you essentially must slow down (remove energy) to fall toward the body which results in a faster speed when you reach the other side of the orbit
Having listened to the person who wrote this speak at length about the subject, it is not BS or grifting.
He absolutely does not. He said "using only the candles and a box of matches". He never says "as a heat source". There's nothing in the problem as given that would indicate moving the water to someplace low pressure is within the rules but moving it to someplace hot is not.
Agreed, unfortunately it's difficult to get purchase in a lot of companies because they don't want to be responsible for the security of the solution, and they don't want to be responsible for the maintenance of the solution. It's another form of corporate CYA, at the end of the day they just want to be able to point the blame for any security breaches towards someone else.

Love that you've been creating an alternative to the commercial, close-source, solutions!
The FDA doesn't allow "may contains" for possible major allergen cross contamination. If the allergen is listed as "may contain" the FDA still requires all of the same costly manufacturing separation practices.

The FDA should either allow "may contains" labels to be used, or create a new category that can be used.
Real Chaos, Today – Randomised controlled trials in economics
A gravitational wave moves at the speed of light. So if you compare arrival times from several widely-spaced detectors, you can get a pretty good idea of what direction the wave came from.

Even a single detector has two arms at 90 degrees to each other, which can give you a rough idea of where in the sky it came from. But now that we have multiple detectors online we get better and better about spotting the origin.
The point is that with all of your concern about these momentous events, and all your "research" -- you're clearly hallucinating about the key players involved.

Does this fact not bother you?
That makes sense. The US went back on its agreement, and they'd be right not to trust the US with any more agreements. If they think a nuclear bomb is important I can't think of any reason not to build it.

I don't think it's in their best interest. Nuclear bombs aren't really very good deterrents. They are afraid of Israel's nuke, but Israel hasn't used it, and they really can't. Iran doesn't need more deterrent on that front.

They might legitimately be afraid of Russia or the US, in the long term. But if they were to actually use a nuclear option, they'll find themselves even deader than fighting a conventional war.

Plus, Iran has a close relationship with various terror groups who don't risk the kinds of reprisals that a country does. If they sell a nuclear bomb, and it's used, the reprisals will go against Iran.

But even if I don't think it's worth spending the time and money on an object they'll never use, the US in particular has no moral force to stop them. I think we really, really effed up on that, and there's a decent chance it's going to have extremely unpleasant consequences.
Yes, on some cards.

I have workstations with dual RTX A6000 that run far too hot (~85 C) and drivers crash with PCIe errors. These are dual slot cards with blower fans, so they are loud, and it seems that NVIDIA chose to let the silicon get extremely hot to keep the noise down. NVIDIA's silicon might be rated to run super hot but the motherboard isn't, and signal integrity apparently suffers.

It's definitely an issue with the cards because the case has excellent airflow and the cards are comfortably spaced.

My solution is to force fan speeds using nvidia-settings. And nvidia-settings requires X11 to run, which is kind of a ridiculous solution for setting fans on headless systems.
This is not my experience at all. I write some visualization. I want to add a UI to tweak the numbers. I add React. React requires me to re-write all of my state for its `setState` stuff.
My assertion isn't one of stupidity, it's a question of when people evaluate their decisions.

A smart person may get frustrated when the subway is 5-10 minutes late every day and take a car instead. They have 5-10 minutes that they're dwelling almost exclusively on the lateness of the subway.

That same person may get frustrated when they work n+1 hours per week because they own a car, but will not associate that frustration + time loss with their mode of transportation because they're focusing on work for that hour instead of sitting at a subway station waiting for the train.

It's not that they're too stupid to address the trade off, they just aren't addressing the trade off because they're spending the time that they had been wasting waiting for the subway at work / driving, and don't have the time to reflect on the inconvenience compared to when waiting for the subway you're forced to dwell on the idea that you're waiting.

> The French TGV has hit 574 km/h (356 mph) nearly 20 years ago. I can’t immediately find the average speed of the TGV, but considering there’s hundreds of km between stops, and that the cruising speed is just over 300 km/h (186 mph), I’d wager it’s significantly higher than the 111 km/h of the Brightline.

It really depends. Often, on the same line, you will have at least 2 TGVs: one with a single stop midpoint(or none), and another with multiple stops.

Rennes-Paris (330 km train station to train station) could take me as low as 1h10, and as high as 1h55 depending on which train i took. So the minimum seems to be 165 km/h (sightly more than the Brightline) and the max around 280.

So student loans, as they are not discharge able in bankruptcy, are a form of debt bondage / slavery?

Also in UK you have to pay to declare yourself bankrupt, which is also questionable.

Hooks are not magic, they just increment an index that's used to access the state, which is saved in an array. So you have to call the same hooks at the same time on each component function call. That's it, zero magic.

Async and await is not useful for React, Suspense is done out of necessity. It's have to be generators if anything - but Suspense is older than wide support of generators and async/await too.

You don't have to use hooks nor Suspense at all - just use your own state management and pass it as a prop at the root render call, or no state at all.

What RISC-V board is on the open market and not supported by vanilla gcc/clang?
> If the selling point of RISC-V is openness, then every RISC-V OEM so far has received an F for bundling in completely closed source graphics,

The openness is at the __ISA__ level. So you don't get a duopoly like being forced to choose between Intel & AMD. It means that anyone can start up a company and produce a replacement with proprietary graphics.

Yes, open source graphics would be nice, but that will have to follow a more open-standard CPU. So let's not put the cart before the horse, nor let the best be the enemy of the good. This is the next step.
Any BLE HR strap should work. They all use a CR2032 coin cell that lasts several months.

* The Wahoo chest strap is more comfortable and more convenient to don and doff (it uses a snap at the front) and easier to change the battery. Main disadvantage is that the battery door is a known weak point (but you can 3D print a replacement) and can leak sweat inside, which causes galvanic corrosion on the circuit board. Also, it is sensitive to battery condition: silently stops transmitting, or transmits bad data when the battery is low.

* The Garmin chest strap is less comfortable because the strap bunches up. Also, the plastic hook rubs on your ribs. It's less sensitive to battery condition and gives accurate low battery warnings, but you need a tiny torx (maybe a T1 or T2?) to replace the battery, which is annoying. On the other hand, the battery needs changing less frequently than on Wahoo's strap.

I haven't tried Polar's chest strap, but it looks to be designed like Wahoo.

Wahoo's arm strap (optical, like Apple Watch) seems to have less reliable data (like all optical straps). The battery only lasts ~6-8 hours, and requires a proprietary cable to charge.

If you have any other fitness devices, like a bicycle GPS head unit or a GPS running watch, I would look for straps that are dual protocol (BLE / ANT+). ANT+ just works better than BLE: Easier pairing, lower energy consumption, fewer data dropouts.
Give it any false but realistic premise. This is why lawyers keep submitting nonsense garbage with LLMs behind them:

> Last month, the EPA announced new limitations on glass manufacturing. Tell me more about EPA 1024B. Take your time and think about it, avoiding mistakes.

>> Searched 5 sites: EPA 1024B, officially known as the new limitations on glass manufacturing, was introduced in June 2024 as part of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for glass manufacturing area sources…

Correct answer: that doesn’t exist
I hope congestion pricing withers away and dies. It really promotes public infrastructure for the wealthy and disadvantages the people who cannot afford.

MDs at my firm can easily afford any such surcharges, and for many it will be business write offs, and not even their own.

Fund public infrastructure - put more buses on roads, maybe even limit some avenues and roads for buses only. Reduce the costs - yes, I know NYC tickets are really low, but make them simpler and easier for people to get a monthly pass and hop on buses, Really, buses everywhere even if they operate at net losses - get the business to subsidize bringing their workers in.

Andre Agassi spent the 9th most time as #1 tennis player in the world and in his book, Open, he says multiple times how lonely of a sport tennis is. I think the loneliness of tennis affects the whole spectrum of the ranks, not just the bottom.

I feel the same way about flying but a boating enthusiast friend bought up an interesting analogy. He asked me if I enjoyed boating and I said yes. Then he asked me if it was fun when you run over waves bouncing around and I said yes. Then he said that is exactly what turbulence is - wakes and waves in the air the plane is bouncing on so relax and enjoy the ride. Kinda made me feel a little better since I could now visualize what is going on but still - eh, Id rather be on terra firma.

SEC vs. Consensys
Are you asking why pay extra for a CPU and RAM? Not everything can be done on a GPU, for example, .png decompression. If you really analyzed your training code and preprocessed your data substantially you could probably get away with very lightweight CPU/RAM resources but I think the reality is that it's such a minor contribution of cost to the overall system (GPU are expensive) that wasting development cycles on that degree of optimization isn't strictly necessary. When you're a hyperscaler you are likely chasing those fractions of a percent of cost efficiency though. To use my original example, you would likely want to preprocess your .png to either .webp (multi-threaded lossless) or .jpeg (lossy), but likely it wouldn't make sense to turn it into a GPU decompressible format as you would save on CPU cost during training but would pay more in storage (and maybe transfer) cost.

Edit: To be more clear, if the CPU work is bottlenecking training, you want to optimize that as much as possible by preprocessing your data/tweaking training scripts. What I'm discussing here is the gap between "fast enough" and "faster":

CPU is not fast enough for training < CPU is exactly fast enough for training < CPU is faster than needed for training

> If you want them to use public transit, make the public transit more convenient and cheaper than driving!

So charge drivers for the actual value/cost of the land they park on, the lanes they drive on, the maintenance and infrastructure for the roads, the safety risk posed to those outside of cars, and the gaseous and noise pollution caused to others?

Sounds good to me. We can call it a "congestion charge" or something.
At some point there has to be acknowledgement that the design envelope is unsound.

Newly fitted engines have moved the center of thrust far away off the center of mass. This creates huge torque; especially as is it often done in emergency situations: stalling avoidance advises to push thrust to the maximum. If you've practiced a bit with plane simulators (the ones where you design your planes), you know these things are uncontrollable.

And us software engineers should know better: software-patching design errors sometimes just doesn't work. You can't just "polish it". Without active control you can't do it (which by law is reserved for the military casualty risk tradeoff)

MCAS-patching it yet another time isn't the answer.
The title on Hacker News hasn't been updated yet, so that title is still misleading. I think dang would need to edit the submission to reflect the new, correct post title. Otherwise we can still expect new comments on the fact that it isn't open source at all.
> That's not the one I was responding to. I replied to the comment I was responding to, it's not that complicated.

That is precisely the point; when something is referred to in a chain you have to look at where and not necessarily in front of your nose; it's not that complicated.

> That was certainly the implication if you use that to answer the question, why must the OS do that.

No, most certainly it is not when you are explicitly being pointed to resources where more details can be found. You are expected to do some self-study and not necessarily spoon fed when it comes to absolute basics like "why is a OS needed?".

> You do understand how "The OS must do it because that's how I define the OS" does not actually say anything, right? Even if that is the definition of the OS (which it isn't), it just shifts the question to "why should the OS be defined that way?"

You are either being intentionally obtuse or really are. The motivation for an OS is buried in its definition; this is CS101 and not something deep which you seem to think it is and i even linked you to the necessary definitions and mentioned terms like "Transparency, Resource Management, User Experience, etc." to highlight the essentials.

At this point i am can only conclude that you are repeating the same vague statements (they are not even an argument) over and over again without providing an iota of hard data (which i have done) because you really have no clue.
An increase in the frequency of clear air turbulence doesn't necessarily entail an increase in reportable accidents and incidents. The NTSB is only notified when a specific set of criteria are met. See 49 CFR Part 830 for details. If the increase in turbulence is all light to moderate turbulence with no serious injuries, there's nothing to report to the NTSB.
