There's also the use of macros for internal stuff, for instance automatic api generation. Obviously this is a thing everywhere, but you can implement all of that inside the library itself rather with a secondary tool.

We prioritize both!

We actually measured latency and throughput to find the efficient frontier, the number of logical transactions per physical DBMS query, that optimizes both.

What you find is that the relation between latency and throughput looks more like a U-shaped curve.

As you process only 1 debit/credit at a time, you get worse throughput but also worse latency, because things like networking or fsync have a fixed cost component, so your system can't process incoming work fast enough and queues start to build up, impacting latency.

Whereas, as you process more debit/credits per batch, you get better throughput but also better latency, because for the same fixed costs your system is able to do more work, and so keep queueing times short.

At some point, which for TigerBeetle tends to be around 8k debit/credits per batch, you get the best of both, and thereafter latency starts increasing.

You can think of this like the Eiffel Tower. If you only let 1 person in the elevator at a time, you're not prioritizing latency, because queues are going to build up. What you want to do rather is find the sweet spot of the lift capacity, and then let that many people in at a time (or let 1 person in immediately and send them up if there's no queue, then let the queue build and batch when the lift comes back!).
Most of the citrus growers are just selling off their land for housing developments. Florida is still experiencing high growth. A lot of that growth is older populations trying to avoid state taxes on their retirement income. These people don't need to live near industrialized areas. They just want to live near other older populations.

Unrelated to the article but I'm surprised the bill and Melinda gates foundation isn't researching issues like obesity or diabetes. Both are serious conditions that while preventable, some struggle with more than others despite how much they try. Both also can impact your entire lifestyle and cause a bunch of other issues as well so finding better methods of treatment and prevention would help so many people around the world, but also alleviate the strain on the healthcare world.
The problem is location data is highly identifying (provides people’s address and work location amount others).

Maybe if it was aggregated and restricted to average number of cars at X public locations at any given time. But it sounds like the individual data is being sold here.
It was sold to the insurance industry so they could more accurately gauge the risk they face. It came to light because some particularly dangerous drivers found their insurance premiums rise to $500+/month.

The counter-example is the world where safe drivers much more heavily subsidize extremely bad drivers. If I have no accidents on my record in 10 years, and have every observable behavior that indicates low risk, why should I pay substantial amounts of money every year because the government does not want insurers to have the data to tell I'm not a high-risk driver?
This is not really correct, and assumes the state of a cloud service (let's say load balancing) is binary.

In my experience it's not. The cloud will glitch. The load balancing algo will break subtly for your workload. Your traffic will get blackholed for no apparent reason. I spent a week trying to convince a cloud provider they fucked up (the time it took for them to give us someone who could run the appropriate tcpdump) once. There was no global outage.

It's on you to determine if this is important for you or not in your case, but you will need to mitigate it above a certain SLA threshold requirement. It's far for consigning CAP to history or a curiosity, which is like saying you will never have network issues if you use "serverless" stuff.

Not talking about anyone in particular, but sometimes I feel people building and using the cloud reach hubris level of surety in their systems - I worked both sides of the fence, and I know the long tails of fuckups that impact customers though...

What a failure of our western surveillance organizations that the only spies we catch are the ones that are so bad at their jobs that they get drunk and brag about it.

How do we fail so badly to counter foreign influence, sabotage, and espionage operations?

The examples of successful foreign operations in Western countries is so long and embarrassing - high level people operating for DECADES, changing MAJOR western policies, and sending back to their foreign handlers CRITICAL data and intelligence.

If this continues, we are absolutely going to get destroyed.

Totally non-expert thought: Isn't that only true if you're total RAM cpacity is N(2), where N is the amount of RAM for the server. Due to the volatile nature of memory, without snapping, freezing, modifying, and promoting how would one envision updating a RAM-disk OS?

I noticed this as well. I find it hard to believe that car is the most common form of transportation to work in New York. I would assume Public Transit and Walking would dominate.
More like from 0.02% to 0.04%. But at 0.1% people start complaining about drowsiness and at 0.2% you get worse concentration, loss of focus, increased heart rate, etc. Even if it didn't have such bad effects on the environment we live in we should stop pressing down the accelerator.
DNA as a long-term solution to preserving digital information
Exactly. This only remains private if the data is aggregated to show total/average number of cars at any given public location.
Seems interesting. With a file limit as high as 300 gigabytes, I assume the only way they’re able to afford hosting it is because they don't have many users, so I wouldn’t expect this site to stay around for very long. I’ve seen many similar websites come and go over the years.
Which still results in a clearly weaker defense compared to not persisting data, as the data will remain available to be acquired legally or illegally even after powering the system down.
One of the worst (best?) examples I remember was the Web of Trust extension in 2016. The company claimed it was selling anonymized user data but it was actually leaking information through recorded URLs about all sorts of private things like account names, addresses, ongoing legal investigations, etc

Of course it’s convenient to define it the way it best fits your argument. I don’t blame you for that.

Quantity is of course relevant. But then again big corporations can do ANYTHING at a bigger scale than you and me.
With AI knocking at the door corporations are in a gold rush for data before humanity becomes privy to what it means.

AI is legalized intellectual theft and breaks so many laws (privacy, copyright) yet it's a magic box that randomizes who is stolen from so people accept it.

All the business-speak about data privacy is an attempt to hold the general public at bay.

I am hearing from people who are interested in going there but perceiving it is "full", that is has gotten so crowded and crazy that it is better to retire in place.
This is true, but a big advantage of the single pass method is data reuse. Instead of loading each element twice, you load each element once. Per bit, reading/writing to external memory is massively more energy intensive than any compute op. Orders of magnitude more.
Nice. I'm also in B.C. now (Vancouver) but spent most of my career so far in Calgary.

I realize the source of confusion here — I said NOI is based on NERs in my first comment when I should have said market value. NOI would indeed typically be stabilized at market face rents, and then we would apply below the line adjustments for off-market rents, abatements, leasing/capital costs, etc.
Process of elimination, contrasting and comparing, and trivial methodologies can be used when you have enough data to compare, and any sort of real world unmasked data to anchor to.

AI and data processing algorithms can do more advanced things, like stylometric comparisons, biometrics, and doing the grunt work of filtering out data associated with a particular individual. You're known and modeled with higher resolution and greater detail than any intimate partner or therapist.

No problem here! This will certainly not end poorly. There's absolutely nothing that could go wrong.
Robotic quadruped meant for wildlife hazing arrives at Fairbanks airport
Yes, and one part in ten thousand of the Earth's atmosphere is a very large volume (or mass). But you should be careful when you say things like "increased by a third" because it could confuse a stupid person, who then has to go and look it up.
Another aspect of the issue is to consider the asymmetric nature of knowledge of the API author and the API consumer.

When one authors a type in a language like C# they must predict how that type will be used and what interfaces the author promises the type can be.

The API consumer might be unfamiliar with the types in an API at first, but ultimately they will know more about how they want to use the type and what additional contracts they think the type fulfills.

As it is, this knowledge is only useful when inheriting a type. There is no facility to "vouch" for a type in C#, currently. In Go structural typing fulfills this.

I think Extension Interfaces is the best of both worlds.
Also, can ai's tell the difference between US and EU dates common practices (referring to the person that complained, true or not - and my dates are just examples, that Taylor Swift was playing 10/11, 11/11 and 12/11..."Why doesn't she just play three consecutive dates instead of travelling over three months?")
Seven of my eight great grandparents were still alive while I was in high school and two of them lived with us. We didn't make them drive. We drove them to restaurants, church events, doctors, etc.

When I drove my great grandmother to a restaurant as a teenager in Colorado, I'd park right by the restaurant in a handicapped spot, grab her walker from the back seat and help her hobble into her favorite restaurant. It was a meaningful part of her week in later years.

There's absolutely no way it would have been feasible on public transit, even if we'd had the world-class 2024 Taipei Metro I regularly use now.

> Yet the Gov of Florida is still denying Climate Change, wonder what it is like seeing an industry FL had a lot of pride about slowly dying. I feel bad for the farmers, I doubt Pongamia Trees will replace all their lost revenue.

Citrus only generates about $7k per year per acre in revenue.

From a tax perspective, you're looking at about ~$100 per acre per year. You're getting 10x that from a single small house.

Citrus farming is not a good business. It's probably for the best if those people do something more productive with their land.

Pongamia, producing more fat and protein, is probably a better option.

Farmers aren't stupid. They wouldn't be switching if it wasn't a better ooption.
Show HN: Make GLSL Shaders with natural language
You only need to show off "that" you can zoom, e.g. showing a faster than normal zoom-out to the overview and then zoom-in on a different cluster, and then a view restriction that "drops" all the files not involved the codepath(s) we're currently in for more focused (but still much larger than one canvas) workspace.
I don't see where iFixit said this caused an outage.
How so? Swapping parts can still result in people's deaths. That is what concerned you right?

Besides it's not like people have only "swapped parts". People have basically entirely rebuilt engines and many other systems in the car. You are underselling what what has commonly always been done.

So yeah, I don't really feel like you've answered my original question:

> Haven't third parties been repairing cars for all automotive history?
The article notes it was their fourth flight of the day, which means eight takeoffs or landings. And they started at 6am.

I’m not a pilot, but doing eight rounds of mentally intensive work in a day is exhausting, especially when that day begins with a 4am wake up call in a hotel.
Of course it would get something wrong. Everything is put into a probabilistic space and then get pulled out. Basically asking to draw a deterministic results from a non-delta distribution. I wonder why they manage to make OCR working well in their model but then suck at pulling links and quotes.
Seriously, a simple google search or taking a minute to follow the first link in the article would have shown you that the patch set obviously came with a benchmark [1]. It’s performance data on actual real use in the kernel which are missing. It’s someone posting a patch to the kernel mailing list, not some random kid on GitHub, there is no point assuming they are an idiot to try to shine.

My days as a LWN subscriber are now far behind but gosh reading the comments there was a blast. I had forgotten how good proper technical discussions used to be.

They're not. If they let go of 10% of the staff the value of their shares (or number of shares) increases. This means that the next time there's a dividend they'll get more money. They're incentivized to decrease the number of workers and not hire any more until it starts hurting their returns. Same exact thing that happens when shares are owned by external shareholders.
I’ve totally given up trying to have this debate, and everyone else senior in AI in practice seems to feel the same

People want scary powerful terminator/skynet like AI cause, like dictators, they think democratized advanced technology will give them the power they always wanted to live the dream - despite what we know of history

Too much politics (optics, spin, outright gaslighting), too little governing (maintaining rule of law, securing against actual enemy action...).

The convoluted story behind `np.top_k`
If a company makes something like Meta's ray-ban smart glasses but with the one function of being an AI shopping assistant (preferably offline), it would instantly make the case for why AI is good for the world. I think it could quickly become an unicorn startup, if it can deliver.

The company would have to make a compelling case of not selling itself to brands, and I am not sure such a company exists. Maybe we need an open source project, but it will be constant battle as with ad blockers.

The base features we need are:
1) price comparison: scan all unit prices of products on the shelves, compare and covert, then use AR to superimpose the comparison charts/prices.

2) filter by feature: e.g. food restrictions (allergy, halal, etc.), flavors, etc.

3) ad block: for the real world. Block misleading prices (3 for the price of 2, etc.), to avoid being primed with biased triggers in our choices.
No, ads and toilets are separate in Berlin since 2019 [1]. Wall won the contract for the new Toilettenvertrag [2] by the city. The city says now what and where to build. Before that, toilets were only built where it was profitable for a billboard. Now the city can make the toilets even free [3] and the toilets are ad-free.

You are correct. The fifth amendment to the current Swiss federal constitution prohibits
the construction of minarets, rather than protecting anything.
A downside to having persistent storage that is not mentioned is that a server could potentially be compromised in a way that survives restarts. No amount of disk encryption will protect you from that.

If the machine has no persistent storage and boots from a medium that is provably read-only (i.e. a DVD or a netboot image), it's always going back to a known state every time it comes back up.
> If I had kept my down payment instead of buying the house, it would have grown into twice as many dollars,

Yes, but you can't live in a Vanguard account.
Part of the gap that still exists is cost. A cloud service that isn't constrained by your local resources can do more as far as password cracking or applying AI to the password protected document/container problem, but we're not at a point where they're going to apply that to every hotmail or gmail account for free.
The problem is that all this security junk is compensating for lacks of features on OSes.

Thus as OSes have improved, and created bad incentives for those products to stay in business.

Neuromyths: Why do they exist and persist?
I feel like there was a "lost in translation" issue with the way they phrased the diversion. My assumption was that they didn't have enough fuel to attempt another landing in Tampa AND THEN to divert if it failed (which, given the deteriorating conditions, seems reasonable). The diversion is the least weird part of this story to me too.

Unless they became fixated on the causeway thinking it was the runway--I live here and that runway is not heavily used for commercial flights, so it might simply have been a familiarity issue even for someone regularly flying into TPA--I cannot for the life of me figure out why they ended up where they were. Just a bizarre situation, unless the weather was so bad that they got task saturated and didn't know what was happening.

I did wonder to myself whether they were lucky to be flying a MAX8 due to the power of the engines--an older plane might have taken longer to stop the descent.

You flipped from looking for mutable to immutable and somewhat lost me.

How about we talk about the examples in the article. Stream and StreamReader? How should that be handled by making interfaces? You can extend those types but you can't apply new interfaces to the existing types.
I am not the person you were arguing with, so sure maybe I don't know what the other guys argument is lol

I was just commenting on what I was seeing in your comments - sorry that I struck a nerve..

I'm not sure what bubble you think I'm living in, given how little you know about me. But in "your bubble" it doesn't seem like there's a way to reconcile two very antithetical propositions: 1- people don't have the resources/knowledge to invest, but also 2- they can use their excess resources to diversify away from having significant investment with solely their employer. How does that work?

And just to re-iterate, no one besides you has brought up the intelligence of "most people" when it comes to the ability to invest. So...?

Not the US fifth amendment, no. (Edit: it does apply in cases where they are dealing within the US with officials at any level of US government, or when making statements to US officials who are conducting a custodial interrogation abroad.)

They are based in a country with more than five amendments to its current federal constitution, but since they are unlikely to want to construct a minaret, the prohibition on doing so in the current Swiss federal constitution’s fifth amendment doesn’t affect them in any meaningful way.
From my past experience writing about writing is where my commitments to write everyday devolved when I was just going through the motion. Most writing about writing never goes anywhere of much interest. Writing about writing is self-indulgence syrup hallucinated as discipline.

Ok, Stephen King wrote a book on writing. But he wrote a bunch of best sellers first. To a first approximation, nobody is Stephen King.
