> ...lacking athletic, artistic and intellectual pursuits... That's what current generations are... Just look at average teenager

You must be looking at very different teenagers from the ones I am.

I have literally never seen a more athletic, more artistic, or more intellectual generation than ever before.

My parents' generation played one sport, if that. Now teens play four sports and go to pre-professional sports summer camps. My parents' generation didn't know art if it hit them on the head. These days being interested in design is a totally normal thing for teens, whether it's graphic design or interior design or fashion and so forth. My parents' generation all listened to the same music, and played in some pretty bad bands. Now teens create and share insanely creative new music -- across the world, not just limited to their small town. And intellectual pursuits? The proportion of teens applying to Ivy League universities, with all the intellectual rigor that requires, has never been higher. And the academic standards for getting in to those places has never been higher.

Now does this describe all teens? Of course not. But the point isn't to compare teens to some kind of level of perfection, it's to compare them to past generations of teens. And in the areas you're describing -- athletic, artistic, intellectual -- they seem to be doing better than ever before in history. I mean, come on -- think about teens in the 1990's, the 1980's, the 1950's. Hanging out in the parking lot, drinking beers, smoking cigarettes, getting high, wasting time at the mall. I don't know what kind of artistic-intellectual athletes you seem to remember.

The area they're doing worse in is mental health. Because the pressures and expectations on them also seem to be greater than ever before.

So perhaps be a little more charitable and understanding, rather than so judgmental and critical.

Why per year? If they buy their own server, they keep the disk several years.

The money motivation to self host on bare metal at this scale is huge.
because discussion is around 'legal' and laws only apply to humans. On ethical side of the discussion, I tend to agree with you. But it is also complicated subject; 'fair' in general is complicated, all this, GPL/AGPL stuff born out of this subject. Hosting GPL code as SaaS is legal but not 'fair' for example.
Content on TV (for better or worse) is regulated, and those regulations are periodically updated to address the moral outrage of the day.

The cost per year is much higher - that's using a 5-year amortization.
Yes, the Payment Services Directive requires "dynamic linking" to a specific amount and a specific payee in article 97, and the RTS in article 5 go on to say that the payer should be "made aware of the amount of the payment transaction and of the payee".

The most elegant implementation I saw of this were card readers with a 2D (colored) barcode scan ; the 2D barcode contained transaction details that the card reader would display on its screen. This was an effective control against MITM. But even I myself always misplaced the card reader.

So now, most confirmations are done using the banking app. Even if I use a credit card by filling in its details on a US website, I get a push notification on my phone to confirm the tx on my app.

The app asks for a password or uses biometrics, so thats 1FA, and the app is enrolled at some point, so the token on your phone (I presume in some secure storage) counts as the 'thing you have' for 2FA.

Enrolling the app nowadays usually entails scanning your ID card and a 'live selfie' (blink your eyes). And of course you get notified (via e-mail) that you just installed the app on some device.

Recent thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40834061
The first article merely shows that the use of tanning beds is one way to raise vitamin D levels. The second tries to make vitamin D an issue, but to show that there is a case for raising vitamin D levels in a nontrivial part of the population, it relies on studies which show that supplementation via pills is beneficial! It is one thing to say that there is no good evidence for tanning beds increasing melanoma risk (a claim that I am in no position to either endorse or dispute), but I regard it as tendentious for the authors to raise the vitamin D issue when no evidence is presented to show that tanning beds are any better at doing this than simple supplementation - it is like saying that one of the benefits of chemically treating the water supply is that dehydration is bad for you.
It’s entertainment. We’re flooded in other options now.

I think that any clearance-requiring sector would be prone to this sort of problem. Like the defense industry. Does the whole clearance process weed out people who are non-conformist in the wrong ways? Sure, some of those "wrong ways" are genuine problems, but a lot of them aren't. It's just easier to clear entirely bland, dedicated churchgoers who have not had any spark of an idea to try different things. The Secret Service is said to like to hire guys who played football in high school or college because of their presidential defense doctrines. That weeds out a lot of other sports types.
From the video, Intel's 13th and 14th Gen CPUs have generated much higher error rates compared to AMD CPUs. Error logs from Oodle game telemetry data showed 1,431 decompression errors from Intel CPUS and only 4 from AMD CPUs. More than 70% of Intel's CPUs were prone to errors compared to 30% of AMD.
Show HN: New Programmer's Handbook (free e-book to learn/teach programming)
I've seen tons of people struggle with learning programming, and giving up because it always seems much more complicated than it has to be. I started writing a short article about the fundamentals and did a couple of teaching sessions with non-technical colleagues, which then eventually turned into multiple chapters.

Observable is one of the easiest platforms to get started with. JS is not the language I'd pick, but it's what runs in the browser so there we go.

I've tried to simplify things a lot for beginners, which comes with some technical inaccuracies, but there are probably some that need to be ironed out as well.

Still needs editing from a native speaker, but would love to hear feedback, suggestions for more topics, and any general experience about teaching programming to total beginners.
I have been telling people personal library ( that includes dvds and blurarys ) is what they are needing now -- either physical or in media server form. But those that want/need it, have it or have plans for it. I know I started buying more dvds/blurays lately.
It's pretty easy to skip the blatant advertisements tbh. And HN doesn't somehow conjure more articles out of thin air when I'm done with the front page, as opposed to the likes of "social networking" somehow finding 10000 more cat photos for me if i scroll down.

I could move that the definition of "social networking" is that it's not social. You get "content" crammed down your throat instead of interacting with people.

While the main attraction of HN has always been the comments.
Click house does have it, but it's experimental.
This position has always confused me. IME logs search tools (ELK and their SaaS ilk) are always far too restrictive and uncomfortable compared to Hadoop/Spark. I'd much rather have unfettered access to the data and have to wait a couple seconds for my query to return than be pigeonholed into some horrible DSL built around an indexing scheme. I couldn't care less about my logs queries returning in sub-second time, it's just not a requirement. The fact that people index logs is baffling.

I'd note that I didn't blame Trump for the nation's ails, but vice-versa.
If this is the case, then the phrasing "without permission" is meaningless and so is the clause attached to it. We have to assume that Google thinks we've "given permission".
The fact that Israel is saying something doesn't mean it's a lie and neither does the fact that Al Jazeera said it. Notice I specifically did not say Israel was innocent in that, so it's very much not the Israeli "talking point". Some things are just bad and don't have any good or convenient solution.

You're repeating a false narrative of picking a side in a problematic situation where two zero sum players are trying to engage and escalate. I'm a liberal Israeli. I have friends in Gaza too. I don't want them hurt and I'm sure they don't want to hurt me. Unfortunately, we're both stuck in a situation where people frame this as a Palestinian vs. Israeli conflict. That's wrong. It's a conflict between two zero sum players who have been pumping each other up for 30 years and sabotaging repeated attempts for peace.

Al Jazeera is run by Qatar who also host Hamas. They are a very bad actor in many cases and in line with a zero sum player in this narrative.

Too easy:

Van Gogh painted it in an asylum (social safety net) run by Franciscans (repeal of anti-Church laws during the Third Republic) because he had self-admitted after cutting off his own ear (treatment of physical violence as a medical problem) because he owed money to Gaugin (private property). It includes an imaginary house and was painted from memory because he wasn't allowed to paint in his room (medical treatment in a total institution), but he was allowed to use a spare room in the half-full asylum which was normally for the wealthy (obvious). That said, he considered it a painting from nature, rather than an "abstraction", a form which was preferred by Gaugin in order to indicate harmony between man and nature (a fin de siècle concern which also directly lead to the rejections of liberal democracy and bourgeois society in the early 20th Century). On his own account, the subject matter of stars connotes a spiritual hope — and you can make what you will of the more specific religous and astronomical interpratations that came later.

In a narrow sense, there's no political art except electoral propaganda, in a broad sense anything made by humans is political.

So I don't find the game of definitions is not particularly interesting. It's not even that interesting whether the political content of art is intentional or self-concious on the part of the author or whether it's imposed by others. The process which I think is worth thinking about is the very second-order process we're engaging in now: who wants to make a claim about the politics (or lack thereof) of art, and why are they interested in doing that?

It's still possible to train a network that's aware of the physics and then transfer that to physical devices. One approach to this from the neuromorphic community (that's been working on this for a long time) is called the Neuromorphic Intermediate Representation (NIR) and already lets you transfer models to several hardware platforms [1]. This is pretty cool because we can use the same model across systems, similar to a digital instruction set. Ofc, this doesn't fix the problem of sensitivity. But biology fixed that with plasticity, so we can probably learn to circumvent that.

Is there any financial system, regime, or product that depends upon leap seconds? I have never heard of any. If so, it is safe to ignore them.

When storing date/time stamps, I prefer to persist into two separate fields: (a) date/time using UTC time zone and (b) original time zone offset, e.g., UTC+8. When debugging, it is useful to know the original time zone offset. And when querying and processing data, it is easier to use UTC time zone.

The threat to majority. Very very few people own a computer than a phone. And those people are much more tech savvy.
It's too bad VSCode doesn't "hydrate" features on an as-needed basis or on demand. Imagine it opens by default with just text editing and syntax highlighting, and you can opt in to all the bells and whistles as you have the need with a keystroke or click.
> For the question "which of the 5 is correct?"

There is a discontinuity as the parameter 'c' crosses a location that lies on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set, where the corresponding Juila set goes from a thick ring of disconnected points (Cantor-set like) to suddenly connected and the ring is completely filled in. One candidate machine will draw a filled in Julia set, and another candidate machine will draw the ring.

For each Turing Machine one can construct a complex value c, that is just barely outside the Mandlebrot set if the machine halts, but is on the inside (specifically on the boundary) of the Mandelbrot set if the Machine does not halt.

Thus being able to correctly draw the Julia set all of these points amounts to solving the halting problem. Though any individual point may or may not be solvable.

Of course there is at least one Turing Machine that searches for an inconsistency in ZFC. If ZFC is consistent then this machine never halts, but ZFC cannot prove this fact.
Financial institutions have to log a lot just to comply with regulations, including every user activity and every money flow. On an exchange that does billions of operation per seconds, often with bots, that's a lot.
When I hear stories of programmers who put a moat around their jobs with incomprehensible code, I usually assume it's exaggerated, but in your case I wonder if that's exactly what happened.

Which, IMO, is one of the reasons why I think speed-limit based speed limiters are a poor idea now. (I didn't mention much in my other post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40919908)

Personally, I think this (speed-limit aware speed limiters) are going to trigger Congress to either fast-track legislation to disable them. Specifically, once the general public is aware of what's going on, they will stop buying new cars and car manufacturers will push on Congress.

I also think the legislation was written by someone who is very naive about engineering. What I remember is they tolerate a 10% error rate. If 10% of the cars are going too slow during rush hour, it's just going to create a major traffic jam.

In this article, Reda explains the current copyright laws in the EU, not a hypothetical policy of the Pirate Party. They're not a member of the PP any more AFAIK.

I expect that people professionally dedicated to a copyright reform are very familiar with it, regardless of which way they want to reform it.

The copyright laws were written before generative AI existed, so they may not be adequate or fair in the new reality, but that's the current state anyway. As Reda notes, the law is not specific enough to draw the difference between collecting and processing data for search engines (that may be using ML for retrieval) and using the same data with LLMs.
> If you are on call then you get paid x% more during that tile and it cannot be more than y hours per month

This is required by law? Yeah we definitely don't have something like that in the US (except for life-endangering roles like doctors, truckers, airplane pilots, etc). It's up to each individual to negotiate their acceptable amount of on-call time and compensation.

(Just to be clear, "being on-call" doesn't mean you are actively working, just that you agree to be responsive if someone reaches out to you about a problem. That could take 15 minutes or 4 hours to resolve, but if no one calls then you are not actually working during the on-call time.)
I don't use BART a lot--mostly from SFO into the city--but I don't schedule my arrival. Pretty much walk up. Contrast that with actual commuter rail in my city which is pretty much useless for an evening event as I think there are two trains scheduled after around 8pm.

Do you know any specific case studies for unstructured logs on clickhouse?

I think achieving sub-second read latency of adhoc text searching over ~150B rows of unstructured data is going to be quite challenging without a high cost. Clickhouse’s inverted indices are still experimental.

If the data can be organized in a way that is conducive to the searching itself, or structured it into columns, that’s definitely possible. Otherwise I suppose a large number of CPUs (150-300) to split the job and just brute force each search?
And that goes back to the question I asked above: are you talking about "what is real" from a philosophical "realism" point of view, or from a philosophical "nominalism" point of view?

Realism posits that objects have intrinsic meaning that we apprehend through attention.

Nominalism posits that we cannot apprehend reality directly, but only through our minds and through language. That we only have a second-order experience of reality. Therefore, all language only has meaning because of consensus, so if we change the consensus of meaning around language, we are actually changing reality because reality is mediated through language.

These are obviously very compressed definitions of these views, but the question remains.

This conversation about AI "hallucinations" seem to point at this question. "We want AI to say true things." True to what? True to reality? Or true to language? When we ask AI a question, AI only knows how to answer the question using grammar that is probabilistically the most likely. That has no tie to "reality", but as soon as you start asking "well then what is reality that we want to map AI to?" the question gets quite slippery.

My contention is that AI, as its responses are curated by people, will only reflect the idiosyncratic worldviews of those doing the pruning.
The book (<https://typesetinthefuture.com/2018/12/11/book/>) is a fun read, too! I think it was David Plotz who said "read more books with pictures." Interviews, gorgeous looking, and does a good job showing the whole world you can miss by just watching a movie once (or even twice) without really seeing everything. It gives a good sense, too, of how movies first create the standards for "future" and then proceed to subvert or reference those standards.
A word of caution here: This is very impressive, but almost entirely wrong for your organisation.

Most log messages are useless 99.99% of the time. Best likely outcome is that its turned into a metric. The once in the blue moon outcome is that it tells you what went wrong when something crashed.

Before you get to shipping _petabytes_ of logs, you really need to start thinking in metrics. Yes, you should log errors, you should also make sure they are stored centrally and are searchable.

But logs shouldn't be your primary source of data, metrics should be.

things like connection time, upstream service count, memory usage, transactions a second, failed transactions, upsteam/downstream end point health should all be metrics emitted by your app(or hosting layer), directly. Don't try and derive it from structured logs. Its fragile, slow and fucking expensive.

comparing, cutting and slicing metrics across processes or even services is simple, with logs its not.
Were you even paying attention? The 2008 crisis was caused by trying to continue growth by looking for more and more people to lend to even those that didn't have the credit history to be worthy of it.

Adobe gating new camera RAW formats behind paying for an upgrade was a real problem. You buy the latest Nikon DSLR and Adobe makes you buy PS CS5 for literally no reason other than that.

But bugfixes was a real problem. So a colleague of mine had an old iPhone or iPod Touch. I forget which. He used it for testing. He kept it on iOS 7 (this was years ago) because later upgrades just slowed the phone down. This ultimately became a problem when heartbleed [1] came out. Of course, Apple pushed a fix but that fix required upgrading iOS. If you didn't want to upgrade iOS or couldn't because your device wasn't supported, well you were SOL.

So this isn't exactly the same as paid software but you can in some ways view the phone as buying hardware and the software. And there defeinitely have been cases where bugfixes (including serious vulnerabilities) were only fixed on later versions.

When upgrades are paid, people stick to old versions. This can be bad for everyone. There's an awful lot of botnets, for example, that rely on old versions of Windows and other software that's never upgraded. I suspect this is why Microsoft abandoned paid Windows upgrades because it ultimately hurt them and it was untenable to fix every bug in every version of Windows.
