I'm not sure if the examples you bring make the point you're trying to make. For most practical intents and purposes, printed press is but a small shadow of its former self. Pretty much all outlets focus on the digital and many have stopped printing altogether. Radio is the same, as a fraction of the population, the numbers are hitting record lows. Most people listen to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, podcasts, etc, not radio. I doubt I need to even mention classical TV. Point being, all of these technologies exist and people do consume them, yes, but compared to their former glory they're all practically dead.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted for an honest question.
I don't know, I'm skeptical that a politics career is less dependent on connections than finance. Not that finance isn't, but a huge portion of successful politicians come from well connected families.

The money needed to run even a lower level campaign is far more than most average folks have a way to access. Things might have even gone the other way and gotten slightly more accessible over the past couple decades. The internet has given a platform to many people to build a brand on, and made it easier to collect small dollar donations.
That was the first time I heard about that project. Someone could check it using our guide: https://docs.ferretdb.io/migration/premigration-testing/ Or we will check it ourselves later: https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB/issues/4429
Interesting section about Spotify, would love to see a journalist investigate it.
:) , I mean more like.. dictionary search, synthetizing information from different sources - there is not enough of resolution to really enhance it.. ?
ICANN has staunchly refused to even think about combatting squatting.

Have you ever participated in ICANN? My company did. ICANN's mailing-list traffic was pathetic; never accomplishing anything, as members endlessly bickered about procedure. I don't recall that we ever made a single decision on anything.
AFAIK most of modern web browser vulnerabilities come from JavaScript engines.
- Fast!
- Getting some unstable results, the head keeps moving up and down, just a few pixel, maybe it needs some stabilization
- Single frame rendering are quite good, a bit cartoony though
- No lip syncing
- Head rotation is bad, it deforms the head completely
I always felt that if you have nothing to say about your project you say it's modern. They just coded it, so it must be
It's weird to me to as a programmer to categorize space/tabs and new lines as empty or invisible.

It only makes sense if you're writing by hand on paper or designing a page, sure wherever you don't write is empty. But even then that's still visible space.

Then most language we currently use still rely on spaces in critical ways. `public function a()` and `publicfunctiona()`are not equivalent and there's no replacement character for the spaces.

Now, more power to you to like braces, same way some languages like dollar signs.
This is more telling about you. You immediately jump to a "with us or against us" attitude with nonsense like "wanting to be independent is an ideology". Good riddance to you and your ilk, i say.
I just priced a fully loaded Hellcat[1] Charger (even with stupid stuff like "real carbon fiber inserts" on the interior) on Dodges site, and it was $109 705. Unless you are proposing it costs less than $9.7k to build and transport one, how are they making six figures of margin?

1: "SRT® Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak" actually. I think the marketing department is staffed with 12 year olds.
Meh the internet was already ruined by over-commercialisation (eg Google, Facebook, tiktok, Microsoft etc). Or for a much better term, enshittification. There isn't much room left to make it worse.

AI is just pointing out the shitpile of junk it had already become and making it more noticeable because it's all glossy and new, rather than just slowly deteriorating over time like the regular Google and YouTube.

However, the bottom line of this YouTube video is not really about the internet at all. It's about artists which are being driven out of the market by skilless people using AI trained on those artists' work. This is a good point. And also, a worry. What's going to happen to the next generations of AI? Once there's no actual artists left AI will be trained on other crappy AI output and worsen as a result. This is also the case for LLMs as the sources of LLM training are being flooded with LLM output.
As far as I know, there's no technical reason. I've seen people raise trademarks as an issue, but that's a red herring. There are already trademark-dispute resolution procedures in place.
Do they distill knowledge or distill the relationship between words (that describe knowledge)

I know it seems dancing on head of pin but …
I used to use Jupyter and Jupyter Lab, but by far the most able Jupyter interface today is actually VS Code (I use this every day).

The interface is sleek, the language server and debugger are built in (so completions, variable renaming, step-by-step debugging etc. all work seamlessly) and it makes Jupyter a pleasure to use.
Exchange (on-prem) and MS Office (on your PC, not in browser) are due to get the green curtain, single shot heard treatment in a couple of years time. Outlook is already going oddly Electron flavoured.

I think you may mean king of (y)our enterprise, not in a constitutional monarchy way but the feudal form. Note how hard it is to make One Drive go away permanently on Windows. You can't, unless you nobble Windows updates and that is not too bright an idea.
Rust is great in theory. But idioms are still being teased out and it hasn’t been used on anything with more code than servo afaik.

C/C++ is arguably the safer choice in terms of actually completing and maintaining a project of this magnitude.
Literally just code with long lines. You run into this particularly with monadic stuff like LINQ queries.
The person who wrote the article used the internet for all the sub-references. Had it not been for the internet, this person most likely would not have known all the things they mentioned. I don't know if they are listening, but it would be an interesting question.
Yes. You can use Jupyter notebooks with both JavaScript and TypeScript. Such support is from Deno for example [0]

I think basically any consumer buying something like this thinks of it as an expensive toy, not a permanent investment in their lifestyle. What would the Bar even be to the Astro's Foo?
Its just that every time I've seen someone state something like that they turn out the be the same kinda person. Feel free to support them (or not) its just I've never had a good experience with those kinda people.
I never really got my head around why users would trust the home version in the first place.
I’ve found that it works pretty well, at least in my home environment. The first time going to a new host, it has to include https, but subsequent visits auto-complete to the host rather than a web search.

For example, I can type “opnsense” and hit enter, which loads https://opnsense, whose FQDN is opnsense.home.my.domain. This works on all machines on my network; most are configured to use home.my.domain as the primary search domain (through DHCP), but my DNS server also properly responds to queries for just the host portion. And, I’ve configured opnsense to hijack all (standard) DNS traffic on my network, so even if a device is specifically ignoring the DHCP-provided search domain and DNS server, it should be able to query all local hosts.
Yeh, you'd think they could get registrations on '.off'
Yep, in Ireland it's coriander leaves and coriander seeds.
Attitude is an important part of talent and perhaps the easiest to sniff out rather quickly.
There is no shortage of IPv4 address space. There is a problem with the government and private entities hoarding address space they don't need.

Amazon alone is sitting on billions of IPv4 addresses. They've snarfed up /10's, /8's, and partial /8's:
https://toonk.io/aws-and-their-billions-in-ipv4-addresses/in...

Every single man woman and child in the US could get three unique IPv4 addresses each and Amazon would still have billions left over.

And then recently the DoD transferred 175M IPv4 addresses to a shell corporation in Florida nobody has ever heard of, an then that shell corp announced the largest # of IPv4 addresses in the world: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/04/penta...

The whole "IPv4 space is exhausted" is a load of shit to get people to feel guilty about having a class C and downsizing while Amazon, Google, and Microsoft snarf up more and more IPv4 space. It's exactly like "turn off your lights when you leave the room to reduce your carbon footprint" while a billionaire flies over you in his private jet in a 20 minute flight to the beach because he didn't want to sit in traffic.

All this could have been avoided if a)address space could not be sold or "leased" but had to be returned to APIC b)rules regarding a minimum percentage of your existing address space being announced/routable with actual devices at the other end...before more space will be allocated to you.
Ah, that would be Kiva.

That was a shock in the warehousing industry. Many companies make equipment for automated warehouses, and those are long-term commitments for the buyer. To have a key supplier bought out by a competitor, and external customers then cut off was a new thing.
Perhaps members of the local community could volunteer to incinerate this unwanted surplus.
And yet they persist.
And continue to evolve.
And TV, now streaming over the internet.
The way humans communicate evolves.
And so will the internet, and social media and all the rest to come.

Think of it like this...

Radio didn't die, it evolved, into streaming music.

TV didn't die, it evolved to streaming TV>

The printed medium did not die, it evolved into HTML and web pages, a fancier form of type setting.

The telegraph didn't die, it evolved into digital communications.

See, it's not that things die and go away, it is a process of improving how humans interact.

Some may find it difficult, or maybe the isolation is a problem, then there is an evolution.

It will not stop, it will evolve to the next step.

What that is, will be fun to watch.

I hope I am still here to see it.

I wait in anticipation, not negativity.
What about e.g. KLondike-5-1234?
Yeah sorry my timeline was off there... I knew someone who worked on a gTLD platform and I mistakenly thought it was while I was at a certain job but it was the job after.

Thanks for the correction!
This type of thing is bad for the internal innovator who must expend political capital to get their organization to try new things. “Hey boss, Amazon has this new thing we should try.”

Burn those people a few times and they’re gone forever.
I think that's actually worse. It's several disparate teams failing in similar ways. It makes Amazon looknfoolosh with their hiring process and "principles".
Would the JVM ecosystem almost be a working example of this? Since there are a variety of languages with editor integration that all compile down to the same byte code, it feels pretty close to what you’re describing.
Do you put dates of employment on it then? Or number of years? Or neither?
Yeah sorry I had the timeline off... I also wasn't implying any exclusivity but I remember when these were first announced/marketed that those two domains were prevalent?
But you don't store your whole photo library on a blockchain, right? The storage needs look vastly different here.

There’s credible rumors China is planning to make moves on Taiwan 2028ish.

I feel bad for the Taiwanese, similar to how I felt about Hong Kong. I was hoping we’d offer Hong Kong citizens aslyum (you’d make great US citizens!) but I realize we’d probably also get a few… dissidents caught in our net with that program. I even debated marrying a Hong Kong girl for citizenship but couldn’t find any online, also what a weird offer to make, no one took me up on it (couldn’t find where Hong Kong people posted to advertise even).

Anyhow, I do support strengthening our military. I was younger and thought our military budget was silly but after more reading and more nuance in my worldview, I realize our military is source of consistency - a necessary evil that’s helped to avoid larger wars. Still wish we had better healthcare though.
You sound very prejudiced.
I'm a so called "scientific" programmer, meaning that I use programming as a tool for solving problems, not for writing software that others will use. Many of my programs run only once, or a few times with changes each time.

I've switched virtually all of my work to Jupyter, including some lab automation, but also data analysis, modeling, visualization, and so forth. I use it as an interactive lab notebook that can "do" things.

Of all the tools I've used in 40+ years, my Jupyter notebooks are the best thing I've experienced for being able to go back and understand things I've done, weeks or years later.

When I use other editing software such as word processing, I quickly reach a point where I say to myself: "I wish I could just pop a code cell in here."

As a fairly mature technology, Jupyter has a lot of known quirks and shortcomings (I'm talking about you, out-of-order execution and hidden state), but I'm putting up with them because the benefits are huge.
Yeah I find S&S very odd. You'd think Amazon would know how to do this properly with their logistical and pricing prowess, but the price swings all over the place (sometimes to ludicrous levels) and items are often out of stock/backordered for weeks.

It reminds me of Uber's prebook a taxi, which (may have changed), doesn't prebook anything and if there aren't any ubers when you booked you are out of luck.
Thanks. I'll take a look. But it being in Rust makes me a bit hesitant. A lot of these projects in Rust seem to fizzle out as soon as people get bored with them once they become hard.

Do you know of anything major that's using it?
Well, step one to increase aerodynamics would be to switch to recumbent bikes, but they’re banned, because they’re too aerodynamic. :P
Germany has been the biggest exporter of electricity in the world in 8 of the last 10 years. Germany also has one of the most reliable grids in the world in terms of system interruptions - as measured by SAIDI - with less than 15 minutes of interruption per customer year - significantly more reliable than France for example. They've managed to keep the lights on after going completely cold turkey on Russian gas in the space of less than a year - a remarkable feat which has been given no credit by most German energy policy critics who have been confidently predicting energy Armageddon in such a scenario.

Not to say that there are no grounds for criticizing German policy but most of the criticism seems to be politically motivated rather than based on specific failures of the policy.

Secondly, why hydrogen? It's a potent greenhouse gas - GWP100 of 12 or 13 times that of CO2. Yes it's less potent than methane but it's far "leakier" and more difficult to contain than methane as well as being more dangerous and difficult to handle. It cannot be combusted in air (most are suggesting mixing it with methane) in a domestic setting because of the 10 times as much NOx caused by the higher burning temperature. While all the infrastructure for methane/natural gas already exists including long term (seasonal) storage facilities, I see no compelling reason to spend 100s of billions to build all this new infrastructure to use a different warming gas for energy storage and transport.

To be honest it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things - keeping natural gas around to cover the last 10% of electricity generation is no big deal as the world rushes to electrify the other activities which currently release large amounts of CO2. The focus should be on getting to that 80-90% carbon-free electricity and the electrification of as much as is possible of pollution sources like domestic heating/cooking, transport and heavy industry.

Working backwards, customer centricity, etc. etc. from their principles and they couldn’t figure out this was going to be a dud?

Maybe it’s cost prohibitive to produce something like this robot at tiny scale, but it seems like the best way to develop would be to identify a few partner businesses, super serve them well and then sell to general public.

Stripe is famous for developing products that way. E.g. stripe subscriptions were built in concert with Atlasian and other companies, then released to everybody [1].

To be fair, maybe that’s what they are doing with their home product. And to be doubly fair, building a subscription billing product is far more straightforward than introducing a new category.

Why should my tax dollars pay for your special interest group to have free meetups? How would we distribute access to this newly created resource equitably?

I don't disagree with the concept, but it gets hairy in the particulars. The problem is that of course we rarely ever get to vote on issues such as "should we build a community meeting space?" so we never really get to understand how the electorate truly feels.
If someone sends me one of these dead units I'd be happy to work on creating OSS software to run it ... And perhaps it would be a great challenge for our FIRST robotics team during the off-season!
If you actually go give it a try, it's working fine. Not sure what all the hate is about.
I might be mixing that up with Strongbox. Either way, solid app and worth paying for.
Bad for innovative product engineers at companies like Amazon, too. Pretty demoralising to have your product canned on a whim after years of effort to bring it to release. Maybe it’s better to just work on boring things, don’t stick your neck out…
> The answer to the synchronization problem for Gubernator was to remove the need for a lock by using a S3-FIFO cache. We did attempt to shard, but the overhead of calculating the hash to shard with, and the increased number of queues and threads needed (thus increased context switching) made this a unviable solution for our use case.

Why would the sharding hash computation be expensive? MD5 would be suitable here; it's blazing fast even when used for 10s of thousands of operations per second on large keys.. it will work fine.

I wish the author had given firmer details on why they abandoned approaches that are proven to work across a wide variety of use-cases.
Your comment led me to searching "Walkie Talkie Mesh" and it turns out it is a thing. Apparently 20 mile radius, 100+ devices, but at an eye-watering price. Getting one for you and your 4 closest friends will run you the price of a Mitsubishi Mirage.

For 10 years. $10 a year. The important thing is to find people committed to building great sites for the long run. If you're not willing to put in a little bit of money, then it's not for you.
Taiwan is just 150 miles / 250km from the Chinese mainland. You can just use a regular airfield. When talking about the island chains around Taiwan you get a bit further out, but nothing you can't handle with one midair refueling.

On the other hand if China were to prepare for a war in the South China Sea aircraft carriers would be very useful. They have a couple airstrips there, but they are vulnerable and not as flexible as bringing a couple carriers to the coast of your enemy. It's also a good deterrent as a pure show of force.

Keeping the Malacca Straight open might also be a big part of it.
Every time I see anything negative about AI posted on HN, I expect someone to show up and say “no big deal, everything that’s becoming garbage was already garbage on the internet and in the real world, AI just xyz, and scale is irrelevant, nothing to see here”. I almost want to collect these replies and look at them years later LOL

Yes yes, before AI every site was flooded with weird copies of a photo and song, and not labeled as AI. I remember all those years where every single site with user generated content was a garbage dump with 95% fake accounts.
This is not something they should have to care about. And once you leave the tech savvy community then can not take care of it via content-blockers... You should do the correct thing by default, which is not supporting adtechs' psychological warfare agains the population imho.
Rebooting (something like) early Triplebyte
We have recently had a few “navy scandals” here in Denmark because our navy has been ridiculously underfunded. They’ve done stuff like lending the cannons capable of fire to the ships that might need them and then pretended the others had working systems… Anyway, one of our destroyers (or whatever we have) which was near Israel at the beginning of the Gaza nightmare was targeted by some of those missile and drone attacks from that Iran proxy group that was shooting at ships. I’m sorry I’m not more informed on this anecdote by the way. To get to the point, our ship had 3 out of 5 defense systems fail completely, and, it still managed to shoot down or jam everything coming at it.

If our basically defunct navy can deal with Iran drones and missiles, then I’m fairly certain an aircraft carrier can.
its called running and editing notebooks with vscode...
I've looked at the code in a debugger. Wine has futexes three deep in "malloc". The innermost one is a pure spinlock. The problem with "realloc" is that, when it can't grow an array in place, it has to copy the contents. The Wine implementation does that with the main lock on allocation still held. So, if you have Rust code with a lot of multithreaded vector "push" operations, and more threads than CPUs, you get futex congestion. It's possible to write applications that don't hit this bug, but it's Wine-only, not Windows, so not worth it.

What's "quirky" is trying to use all the CPUs with lower priority threads.
The alternative to those X Windows terminals on the computer lab, were even older green or âmbar phosphor terminals, or even worse, terminal application from Windows 3.11 for Workgroups.

It took another two years for something better, when we got new computer labs with a mix of Windows 95 and Red-Hat PCs.

Finally we could use proper Web.
Merkel ruined the land.
On other side something like aircraft carrier is decent solution to launch those drones. And to repair, rearm, refuel them. In the end they are platforms to project air power.
As one saying goes "bears sound smart, bulls make money".

While I'm very bearish (ie, smart !) on the current state of the US stock market, I wouldn't recommend shorting to anyone - it's just too risky and frustrating.

The next decades will be very interesting though - there are very significant changes in demographics dynamics. I'm wondering how much of past stock performance is due to simply populations of Western countries growing and markets expanding ? What happens when that stops ?

If real estate in small villages of Japan / Italy is an indicator, there is a decent chance that future profit growth won't look anything like the past one.

Real estate in China is probably even more interesting - Chineese economy was fuelled for a long time by a real estate boom. As of today, they have build so many homes / appartments, that they can home 2-3 billion people according to estimates. But... as everybody knows, Chinas population is set to shrink from 1.4B to less than 1B by 2100, and given the size of the country relative to world's population, they can't simply 'import immigrants' like smaller nations could.

So what happens next ? I don't think the world has ever faced such a crazy situation.
