I love this! looked into doing a similar project, you're competing against Hudl but using the phone instead of custom hardware (always preferred). Highlight segmentation may be a challenge with SOTA cv methods, but there are lot of directions you can go in.
MarkMonitor, but if you don't like renewal prices increasing by a few dollars at other registrars, you won't like their pricing.

$100-$500/yr for a .com is what I've heard, and a minimum spend for other things, such as registry lock.
The CAP theorem is irrelevant if your acceptable response time is greater than the time it takes your partitions to sync.

At that point you get all 3: consistency,availability, partitioning.

In my opinion it should be the CAPR theorem.
Unless you use an ORM, in which case I'm used to seeing it be all SELECT * all the time. And then you get an entire generation of engineers who've never known any other way to talk to a database going around complaining about how this Miata is so slow when really it's just that nobody ever taught them how to shift out of first gear.
Some ideas were in fact already tried, but whomever does not history might suffer reliving it. For example check: https://www.familistere.com/uploads/media/5a9c4bd061fce/fami...

To quote: "the association’s economic and social model fell victim
to its users and competitors. The hierarchy of association members,
originally intended to reflect ability, led to opposition between
Associates (whose status had finished by seeming hereditary) and
other, less privileged active members. The spirit of the Familistère
co-operative colony faded with each new generation."

It is fascinating that these things were already tried more than 100 years ago. It is also interesting that they did not succeed for simple reasons (people trying to take advantage of other people). I think any proposed solution must be more structural - involve more than ownership but a set of values...

In Big Data (eg Hadoop) and LLM’s, one of the issues is moving lots of data between the CPU and RAM. That makes it slower, increases latency, and uses more energy. We’d rather move less data.

One approach to that is putting computation in RAM. Several architectures have done that. I posted an example. I’ll add a few more below. I’m curious what AI experts think about using these architectures for inference or training.

I think I'm getting it now... If I'm going to put a prefix, I could use something that gets more elimination power out of those bytes than what I'm currently using. Do I have the right understanding?

I hadn't even thought of using the prefix for substructure queries, but that is an interesting idea.

We've been using this quite effectively for building some internal simulation tooling; being able to create a view/stored procedure and instantly having an endpoint for it is pretty magical, and has let us focus more on the product and less on the database. The filtering capabilities in the URL parameters are pretty nice as well!

You want to be forced to use a centralized registry? I don’t know. URL imports also enable fully isomorphic modules. I think you would enjoy the freedom of URL imports if the ergonomics were better. For example, it should just default to https:// so you don’t have to type that. Import maps also help a lot with this, definitely use them. But they could be even better by having first-class support for templating the module version into the URL so that the version can be stored separately, alongside the module name. Popular hosts with well-known URL structures could have their URLs automatically templated so you only have to specify the host and not the rest of the URL.

In other words, the tooling could be better, but the fundamentals of URL imports are sound, IMO.

Not sure whether the original contention is untrue in the Northeast or just much more rapidly-varying in space.

Where I live (Baltimore) your second sentence is certainly true. There are boundaries across which the vacancy rate is basically discontinuous. In connected regions surrounded by such boundaries I think the original contention pretty much holds, though. There are a couple variables (nbeds, nbaths, sqft, parking space) that pretty much determine the value of the home and going HAM on any improvements they don't capture is probably negative ROI.
The tragedy of the commons applies here. Any time you have something that’s commonly owned by many people (the more people, the more the tragedy applies) you have incentives that become misaligned.
> (where the input is an array that is stored in memory)?

If the input is an array that is stored in a piece of real-world memory, then the only possible complexity is O(1). It's just how big-O works. Big-O notation is an abstraction that is much much closer to mathematics than to engineering.

> this big-O notation is pretending to have some real-world usefulness...

Big-O notation is not a person so I'm not sure whether it can pretend something. CS professors might exaggerate big-O notation's real-world usefulness so their students don't fall asleep too fast.

> fictional

Theoretical. Just like the other theoretical ideas, at best big-O notation gives some vague insights that help people solve real problems. It gives a very rough feeling about whether an algorithm is fast or not.

By the way, Turing machine is in this category as well.
That's quite the slippery slope argument you've got there.
That might be an issue with rar and 7-zip specifically. RAR at least used to be very common with warez and not very common out of it—might just be a low-effort way of discouraging it.

I'm not naive. Owners also don't pay wages out of sympathy for workers. When they give away wages, they give away profits directly. If anything, short-termist managers might prefer to give away rights to future profits, rather than profits today. Also, you're assuming that small shareholders exercise power via their voting rights - nope, most small shareholders don't vote, not surprisingly since small voting blocs would rarely change outcomes.
You actually don't need sidewalks to be pedestrian-friendly. You need some combination of vehicle control measures (slow cars down), low density (fewer cars) or high density (shorter walk times), and something to walk to (a corner store, a transit stop/station, a park). Voila, people walk.

Is it common to mention why certain codes and policies were implemented (documentation, essentially)?

I'm not sure what your standards are, but I'm not sure if this is even possible.

I drink Stumptown which I grind at home for my espresso machine -- their caffeinated Hair Bender blend in the morning, and then in the afternoon I'll often have their decaf Trapper Creek (Swiss water process) on the days I don't need an extra jolt.

It tastes perfectly great to me. Maybe my palette isn't refined enough.

But decaffeination is always going to alter/remove flavor somewhat. So if you've tried high-quality versions like Stumptown and find them lacking, I'm not sure it's even chemically possible.

(Also I'm not super clear -- have you found high-quality decaf and you just wish it were more common? What brand(s) are high-quality? Or you haven't found it, and you're complaining that they're all "just ok"?)
> worker-owned cooperatives have not taken over the market, although they are an available institutional form, because (a) they find it hard to raise capital

Isn't this just a circular argument then? The economic system based on tradable joint-stock companies is not conducive to other forms of economic organisation. Huge surprise! :)

Of course they can't raise money in an economic system where money creation is privatised, that's exactly the problem!
> So for example, a free market doesn't need zoning density restrictions. Their absence has no apparent mechanism that would lead to a monopoly. Therefore, a freer market in which the government has no power to impose zoning density restrictions is better than the current one in which that is possible and is consequently making housing unaffordable. Depriving the government of the authority to do that is a viable mechanism by which that form of corruption/inefficiency is avoided.

This is so well expressed. I take it for the future. Concise and clear. This is exactly the kind of things that come to my mind.
Show HN: Linkwarden – An open source collaborative bookmark manager
Hey there HN, a major problem we're dealing these days is content on the internet can be taken down for any reason. On the other hand, we have lots of bookmarks and links that we want to keep for future reference. That's why we've built Linkwarden, a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive your webpages and bookmarks.

One thing we're planning to do in the near future is to add a free plan to make it more accessible to everyone, especially if you’re just starting out without a commitment. This plan is also intended to bring users closer together with the goal to have a social aspect.

As of now you could either use our Cloud offering [0] to directly support this project and experience Linkwarden, or you could self-host it on your own machine [1].

Almost a year ago we introduced Linkwarden (the new version) for the first time on Hacker News [2]. We've announced tons of new features since then [3].

Feel free to ask any questions, and we’ll do our best to answer!

Of course, "xeno" implies that they are somehow alien to the area, which is particularly galling considering many black people were brought to the country against their will, and much of the country populated by hispanic people used to be part of Mexico...

Dry Arabica beans are about 1.5% caffeine by weight. Synthetic caffeine costs maybe $40 per kilogram, wholesale. A kilogram of beans could have perhaps $0.60 worth of caffeine extracted from it, unless there's a price premium for "all natural" caffeine extracted from beans.
> I want to use "macros" aggressively which might get the code size reasonable but I'm sure people would struggle to understand it.

A long time ago I wrote a macro language for the environment I was working in and had grand plans to simplify the dev process quite a bit.

While it did work from one perspective, I was able to generate code much much faster for the use cases I was targeting. But the downside was that it was too abstract to follow easily.

It required simulating the macro system in the mind when looking at code to figure out whether it was generating an apple or an orange. I realized there is a limit to the usability of extremely generalized abstraction.

EDIT: I just remembered my additional thought back then was that a person that is really an expert in the macro language and the macros created could support+maintain the macro based code generation system.

So the dev wouldn't be expected to be the maintainer of the underlying macro system, they would just be using the systems templates+macros to generate code, which would give them significant power+speed. But it's also then a one-off language that nobody else knows and that the dev can't transfer to next job.
> In the article n was set to 5. All of those arrays (except maybe 1) have exactly 5 elements. There is no variance

No, the code was:

# If there are < 5 items, just return the median
if len(l) < 5:
return nlogn_median(l)

> and even if there was, it would be tiny, there is no point in talking about limits of 5-element sequences

So your point is: not all constants are created equal. Which circles all the way back to my original point that this argument is pretty funny :)
I do appreciate their sharing that, but I hate that it requires entirely just trusting them. They've so locked the user out of the device that it's difficult or impossible to verify anything for yourself, and even if you did, they could trivially push a change at any time because they have ultimate control over the device.

On the flip side, I tend to think a company so large would have at least one whistleblower or something on the inside, and/or would be so concerned about legal fallout that they wouldn't risk it.

On the flip side of the flip side, Apple is notoriously secretive (even among insiders) and very tight-fisted around employees sharing/leaking information. They also have some of the best lawyers in the world and a near infinite ability to fund any legal action, so may feel (and in fact, be) untouchable. And should Apple go evil, there aren't really great alternatives anyway for the average person, and they're generally so invested in the walled garden that walking away would entail a major disruption to their life.

I agree though, while not perfect, they are certainly much better than their competitors (not counting small players, e.g. GrapheneOS), and I'm grateful that at least they keep privacy at the forefront of conversation. If they abandoned it, there'd be nobody to pick up the mantle.
That argument worked 10 years ago, but not today that Cuba actually started to move towards capitalism and we really see that the embargo isn't such a hinderance as you argue it is.
I'm just being pedantic but "free public libraries" don't really exist though.

They are paid for by property owners via tax millages rates on their homes.

Most people support this but none are free since the public pays for em.

A use case for something like this, and not just for medians, is where you have a querying/investigation UI like Grafana or Datadog or whatever.

You write the query and the UI knows you're querying metric xyz_inflight_requests, it runs a preflight check to get the cardinality of that metric, and gives you a prompt: "xyz_inflight_requests is a high-cardinality metric, this query may take some time - consider using estimated_median instead of median".
thanks. this will be useful.
> Generally this is what is happening when a sub-division is built up; usually a certain percentage of the units have a signed purchased agreement and a deposit.

95% (every developer is different, but this is a good number for discussion) of the lots are sold by the developer to a builder. They will have a dozen builders and know what each wants and so 95% of the lots they know who will buy the lot before they can legally talk to the builder who will buy it (if the builder is on vacation that week they will wait for them to come back). The last 5% is for the few people who think they want a custom house with their own builder. The builders will sell the majority of houses on their lots as one of their designs (often all, but they will custom build on their lot if you ask - it costs only a little more), most houses are sold before they are completed, but often they are started before they have a purchase agreement.

If you read the bill you'll see that to be liable 1) it must depict an intimate scene, 2) it must be done knowingly, 3) it must be indistinguishable from a real person and 4) it must be done without their consent.

I haven’t read volume 1, but apparently half of it is about data scraping, and I expect it to be similarly detailed. So if I were you, that’s where I’d start.

Machines might not take your job. But they could make it worse
This discussion section has convinced me that high school civics courses need to teach how to read bills. We’ve got (lots of!) people assuming that legislators’ statements of their own motivations represent the law itself; that if something’s not in the text of a bill that explicitly modifies another law then it must just not exist (… try the law it’s modifying) and tons of other mistakes; and in general most of the discussion being about as silly as one might expect if the text of the law were secret rather than readily available and not even that hard to read.

Plus all the usual not understanding how the government, and especially the first amendment, works, which is a separate but also serious problem.
The CAP theorem is quantum mechanics of software with C*A = O(1) in theory, similarly to uncertainty principle, but in many use cases this value is so small that "classical" expectations of both C and A are fine.
>> "You seem to be the one not used to consequences: hit people in public and you may wind up getting shot in most free areas that care about rule of law. End of story."

Vigilantism is the opposite of rule of law. Shooting someone because you got hit for acting like you want to steal their property is also not rule of law.

This is all very much beside the point, but if we can't even agree that murder is an excessive escalation then I don't see how we could agree on the boundaries of censorship. This entire conversation is a prime example of why none of us can be trusted to decide what each other is allowed to see online.
> For example, we could disable TB's corruption detection/recovery code paths that provide storage fault-tolerance. And then you could zap "a regular database" with a cosmic ray and see what happens with a regular consensus protocol like Raft that doesn't implement UW-Madison's “Protocol-Aware Recovery for Consensus-Based Storage”, how the fault propagates through the cluster.

This would be amazing! I'd suggest that TigerBeetle should be hard mode. I can understand common failures by breaking database clusters with them, then get crushed when TigerBeetle defeats the strategy I just learned. Could be useful for the non-technical people you want to sell to.

> Yes, for sure. What would you like us specifically to explain more concretely?

More or less the explanation you gave above. In Scenario 3, I see you're zapping random beetles causing the network to automatically recover. Perhaps the sim should freeze right before the first zap, and step through the following events with annotations:

1. You're about to corrupt the storage

2. TigerBeetle will detect the data corruption

3. It won't propagate through the cluster

This would let me see what animations correspond to what events, so when it gets faster, I still understand what's going on.

There's also a lot of metrics on the screen. The simulator should highlight important metrics for the scenario I'm watching, like read/write corruption rate in Scenario 3.

Also, it'd be cool to see metrics that evaluate the system. e.g. How long does a user have to wait before they get a response? Does TigerBeetle degrade better under load than competitors?

Right now, it's hard for me to judge the performance of TigerBeetle in your scenarios beyond "it works!", even though your blog post claims large gains in speed.

Those metrics would also be an entertaining way of keeping score (maybe add a leaderboard?) Making it extremely difficult (but still possible) to score against TigerBeetle gives me an intuitive knowledge of why your database is so good.
