For a "big data" project, people will probably use Python (though Google apparently retreats from it except in machine learning).

Why could you not use R and C++ or Java though? For example, Arrow has bindings for both, so the argument that Python is needed to shovel/scrape/steal data becomes less and less valid.
Voltage Park is a cloud provider. This is no different from renting barebone infra from AWS, GCP or Azure.

Except Voltage Park, being smaller, is probably more willing to provide some customized setup.

Stuck on my path to build a successfull product
I have a technical background and have made several attempts at building revenue-generating products. I've made various mistakes and learned from them.

1. One major mistake was getting excited about a technology without clearly identifying the problem it solves.
2. I often wasn't lean, trying to build everything perfectly without even having a first customer.
3. I lack sales experience and probably struggle with it. Selling doesn't seem to be my strength.
4. Finding a co-founder who matches well with me has been challenging.
5. I dislike most incubator programs in Europe and find the VC investment scene here too conservative. My ambitious ideas require initial funding, which is difficult to obtain in the EU.

I need advice on making progress toward creating a scalable, successful product. Do you have any suggestions for me?

The FDA was expecting that companies spend millions to ensure that the products are free of sesame to help people with allergies, but companies realize that it's easier to just add sesame into their products.

I am not sure the government could do now to help people with sesame allergies. Ban sesame outright from certain products? Mandate that certain companies produce sesame-free products?

the firewall question is interesting. I guess I understand their perspective: If nothing is listening/running then what’s the point of the firewall? The system is immutable so the security posture is a known quantity and cannot change at runtime.
You could argue that running an additional firewall service would actually be increasing the attack surface, in the sense that more code is worse than the absence of code.

Not sure I agree with their stance, but good on them for having the courage to revisit some our default assumptions. Some decisions will work out and others they’ll have to finetune.

Yes, and this is what a bakery for basic loaves of bread looks like.[1]
And here's one for "artisanal" bread, from the same manufacturer.[2]
Notice how similar the processes are. The "artisanal" plant has a few more stations, including a "decoration" station where the sesame seeds, etc. go on top. Artisanal plants tend to be more reconfigurable, the same line can produce a few different products.

Yes, it should work just fine with mokutils.
Here "metal" is used in a rather loose sense.

Elemental bismuth is not a metal, but a semi-metal.

Solid metals have 2 characteristics that distinguish them from other kinds of substances. The first is the existence of free electrons, which makes them electrically conductive and optically reflective. The second is a crystal structure where each atom has many neighbors, whose consequence is that metals are ductile and malleable.

Already in the 18th century, semi-metals have been distinguished from metals. Semi-metals have only the first property. They have free electrons, but they have a crystal structure where each atom has only few neighbors, whose consequence is that semi-metals are fragile, even when pure (most metals can be made fragile by impurities that disrupt the crystal structure, but they are not fragile when pure).

A typical example of a semi-metal is carbon as graphite. Graphite has free electrons and it is a good electric conductor, but it is easily broken by any attempt to deform it.

Elemental bismuth is similar to graphite. It has free electrons, but like graphite, its crystal structure is made of planes of atoms between which there are relatively large distances, so it is fragile like graphite.

The fact that neither bismuth nor graphite are metals, but only semi-metals, is determined by the fact that they have a much higher electro-negativity than metals. The electro-negativity of bismuth is similar to silicon, germanium and antimony (which are also not metals, Si and Ge are semiconductors, while antimony is a semi-metal), and higher than for any true metals. (Semiconductors differ from semi-metals by not having free electrons when pure and at low temperatures; free electrons are produced in semiconductors by various means, e.g. high temperatures, impurities, light, injection etc.)

So the existence of aromatic rings made of bismuth atoms is much less surprising than the existence of aromatic rings made of truly metallic atoms would be.

Despite the fact that the distinction between metals and semi-metals has already been done for almost 300 years, many modern chemistry manuals fail to distinguish them in a consistent way (or worse, some confuse semi-metals with semiconductors). This is a serious mistake, because in practical applications the distinctions between metals, semi-metals and semiconductors are very important. Many technically important materials are semi-metals, for instance many of the carbides or nitrides of the transitional metals.
there are many types of a wrong answer, and the difference is based on how the answer came to be. In case of BS/Hallucination there is no reason or logic behind the answer it is basically, in the case of LLM, just random text. There was no reasoning behind the output or it wasn't based on facts.

You can argue if it matters how a wrong answer came about ofc but there is a difference
It's not like sesame is used only in baked products. Sesame is used in various candies and desserts, as a seasoning for meat, fish, vegetables, even in drinks. I'm not sure if you can eat healthily by excluding all categories of food where sesame might theoretically appear.
I wrote a top-level comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40816168) before I read yours, but from Tulleken’s book, my understanding is the difference basically comes down to “would you ever make this in your kitchen, or no?”

I didn’t include it in the comment, but in the book he elaborates that the proposed mechanism of action for UPFs is basically: people have innate homeostatic mechanisms to keep them from eating too much, but food scientists at major manufacturers (e.g. Kraft) have figured out how to use artificial flavors and modified starches and oils to control the flavor and texture of food with extreme precision (he gives the example of a company who made an ice cream that doesn’t melt at room temperature out of modified starches), and their goal is to sell you food, so they engineer their products to subvert your body’s feedback mechanisms and entice you to eat much more than you actually want. The presence of artificial flavors and modified starches is basically an indicator that the food you’re eating was produced via this process, and your body will probably react in the way the food’s engineers intended and crave more than is satisfying.
I second this recommendation.

I used Carnets for the Advent of Code last year.

Currently when the context limit is hit, there's a halving of the context window (or a "context shift") to allow inference to continue – this is helpful for smaller (e.g. 1-2k) context windows.

However, not all models (especially newer ones) respond well to this, which makes sense. We're working on changing the behavior in Ollama's API to be more similar to OpenAI, Anthropic and similar APIs so that when the context limit is hit, the API returns a "limit" finish/done reason. Hope this is helpful!

Not true, there are smaller companies providing closed source kernel modules as well. Check any Android image for a device with SD card slot in the era where open source exfat driver didn't exist, and you'll likely find one of the 2 proprietary exfat driver modules.

Embedded/mobile projects don't tend to use bleeding-edge kernels and stuck on one version regardless of closed source modules anyway.

The social flow on effects spread even wider.

Large numbers of low cost social housing used RAAC as a roofing solution that exists to this day. Councils that still manage low rent housing for people on assisted incomes are taking the financial hit for insurance and replacement.

Arguably worse is the situation of those people who scrimped and saved and bought their way out of povety and purchased the house they previously rented.

What was once an investment of their life savings into capital that would grow in value is now money lost in a house scheduled for demolition that has zero value with a defect no insurer will cover.
> dishwashers have to live at ground level

While less common in domestic kitchens, "raised" dishwashers are a thing. A friend of mine designed his dream kitchen and his dishwasher (just a standard domestic dishwasher) is at about hip height, next to the cabinets where dishes are stored and above the drawers that house heavier pots and pans.

I did something similar a few years back and wrote a blog series about it[0].

Ultimately, I ripped it apart and stuck to using my x86 servers and now run Talos Linux[1] which is currently my favourite way to do Kubernetes on bare metal.

With Pi4, the cluster services just used too much of the available compute and though it was a fun project, want practical for my home lab.

Now the Pi5 is available (and I have some), I might look at adding them to my existing clusters for some mixed-architecture fun.

RMarkdown really is great. I used RStudio/RMarkdown for almost all my homeworks, projects, and even papers with no code during my MS program. I now realize that it was Pandoc's Markdown mixed with LaTeX that I appreciated so much for scientific writing, but with RMarkdown you can easily call R and Julia.

I don't remember invoking Python from RMarkdowm (maybe you already could in RStudio but I never did), so this will be a welcome addition in this new Posit program.
Oh, it definitely seems like, by default, a random process should not be allowed to fork a shell, and so doing should kill the process tree...
Some women are raped by their husbands but stay married to them for years or decades, so what does that prove? (A: Nothing.)
The US has no national ID and for historical ideological reasons the pushes for a national ID fail.

That's why social security numbers are abused as a form of national ID number. The closest thing we have is the "Real ID" standard for state IDs/driver's licenses (well, ignoring passports). [1]

So right now government solutions are done individually by states (if at all), usually as some form of "wallet" / "mDL" (mobile driver's license) phone app.

All the state ID databases are supposed to be able to talk to each other, eventually, so maybe some day a big state's system will allow verifying IDs from other states but there might be political issues that block that.

I guess the other option is that a big state's system (like say California's OpenCred[2]) gets popular enough for all the other states to implement it. But I'm not hopeful.

VC...

I think, short of you being deep into ML that VC's are moot now. A small team, or a single person, can solve a problem and ship at low (real dollar) costs. And keep those costs not only reasonable but tied to revenue.

Solve the smallest problem you can. Finish a product. Figure out how to run it cheap. Figure out how to sell it. Grow all those other skills, and start something else at the same time (none of these are large). Think about having 6 small startups in the next year not one big one.

Every one of those will generate questions, problems and targeted discovery and solutions. If they all break even, or buy you a dinner a month each then you did a good job.

What your missing is experience and there is more than one way to get it!
Ask HN: Is AWS Console Team High?
Recreational cannabis is legal in Seattle.

When I log into the AWS console I'm getting all sorts of weird errors I normally only see when I access AWS services through the API. Most recently I received "Signature expired: 20240628T073515Z is now earlier than 20240628T073755Z (20240628T074255Z - 5 min.)" which makes me think the code running the AWS console is requesting a JWT or ephemeral X.509 cert for mutual TLS, but there's a time skew and the back-end is barfing.

So my question is... is the team that manages the AWS Console currently high?
Ask HN: What bothers you most about Scrum and how could it be fixed?
Most of struggle with Scrum (or what is called "Scrum") in practice. What bothers you and how could it be fixed?
In many cases employers don't pay up simply because they think they can. Even having plenty of money. Lean startup lmao. Talk to the Labor Commissioner and of course, start looking for new job because while they will most certainly pay up being pressured by authorities, there's no way it ever gets truly fixed.
They don't. The best way to visualize that, that I've seen is the DHAT tool of Valgrind, that basically builds a trie from the roots based on how much allocations happens in them (the tool measures allocations, but the visualization could just as well be used for time spent).

What other comments are missing is that git-cliff is based on the conventional commits [1] spec.

If you follow this properly the commits will already have important metadata for presentation in a changelog.

Also keep in mind that the auto-generated changelog should always be augmented and filtered manually before the final release.

But the combination of git-cliff and conventional commits can save a lot of time for the initial draft.

It does require discipline in using conventional commits properly.

> as density grows mass transit becomes essential since it can far surpass the maximum throughput capacity of even the largest roadways.

Once again this idiocy! Planners love so much to talk about throughput, and then they are surprised when people "do not understand". People do understand: people know that the only important metric is door-to-door time!

Nobody could care less about how many people can get to the station! Everybody just wants to minimize the time wasted within transportation, because the 24 hours in a day are not expandable.

I've never been to New York, please don't take this as a critic specific to this city. It's just that I'm tired of planners trying to "evangelize" the people while ignoring their actual concern.
That's a common professional setup, steel bench top with dishwasher with two side doors that both lift upwards at the same time.

Washers coarse sluice dishes and stack them in a circular rack on the bench, then use horizontal handle at front of washer to lift both the door on the left and the one on the right, the internal circular rack of freshly cleaned dishes is pulled out along the bench on one side, the just filled rack of dirty dishes is slid in on other side to replace, doors down, washer on, unstack clean dishes and move the empty rack back to the sink to start sluicing and stacking just arrived dirty dishes.

Repeat for three hours, then clean down kitchen and go home.
> it is not possible for an average consumer to understand all safety implications of vehicle design

and that is why there is and must be independent regulation. The consumer doesn't need to understand vehicle design, they just need to understand safety _ratings_ that must be assessed via third parties (typically, a gov't institution).

So why did the FDA fail to assess the drug properly?
I don't disagree in general, but I think "because it's frequently full of things that are inconsequential for users" should not be a good reason.

The idea behind auto-generating the changelog with a tool like git-cliff is to use it in conjunction with conventions on your commit messages like Conventional Commits [1]. This gives you fine grained control about what will appear in the changelog.

What you do, is to move the decision whether some information ought to appear in the changelog from the time of release to the time of the commit. You also shift the responsibility from the release manager to the individual developers. The big advantage of this process is that it is much harder to forget to include things.

If that is a good idea depends on your project and team. For open source projects, where everything is public anyways, the generated changelog could act as a pretty-printed, filtered and limited view of the git history.

For proprietary software I believe the commit messages should be a space where the developers can express themselves without having to worry about that anything they write could end up at the customer (which I presume is the ultimate consumer of the changelog).

I also think there is a difference between a changelog and release notes with the former not being a replacement for the latter. For a good example how in my opinion useful release notes could look like see [2].

Apart from all of that git-cliff is an excellent implementation.

Candidly what every org is missing: accounting. IN a very literal sense. How much time did we spend on a feature, what was the cost. How much does it cost to run the feature? How much do people use the feature? Are we gaining or loosing clients because of it? Stuff someone from accounting into every dev team and make them live and die by the numbers.
