True, but there is a difference between "can be type checked" and "can be type checked in a reasonable amount of time".

I get reminded of this everything I have to work with a certain large Typescript code-base of mine that makes heavy use of union and template literal types. The Typescript Language Server has a hard time with these types. Frequently, everything slows to a crawl in VSCode, and it take 10 minutes of more for intellisense to update after every type change, ouch.

Although in this case, I suspect it is Typescript's implementation of union types that is to blame (since other languages seem to handle complex union types with ease), this experience still shows that type checking can become quite expensive.

So you're very much inclined to agree if I said "down with America" is the policy of the Democratic party.
this, I feel like a lot of people are just so abstracted away from harsh reality in the modern world that many don't take things seriously. Massive normalcy bias and enhanced bystander effect. A lot of people's first instinct is to pull out their phone and record something as well
If you need to, there are alternatives like proton or mega, or a 100 other services Im sure
I’m currently in the middle of my month-long stay in a new and unfamiliar city - and it’s been a challenge to meet new people, especially given how unapproachable we’ve all become in the past few years. Just last night, I was wishing for something like this to exist / looking to build something like it. Seems even more interesting given it’s not local, but a location-focused, less professionally oriented service would also be cool.

Kudos for building this! I’ve just signed up and seems amazing. Hope it delivers upon that expectation.
Surely, Trump wouldn't change his mind on the tax credits, just because Musk is giving so much money to his PACs at the moment

It would be immoral for Trump to offer a quid pro quo to Musk, so that couldn't be the what's happening at the moment
Meta releases its biggest open AI model yet
Like many other things in the US that we don't do any more, if you found the right people (many of whom are retired) and gave them the right amount of money (copious) and eliminated all the "pesky" bottlenecks (environmental analyses, legal challenges, etc), it would take a year to start producing weapons.

On the other hand, that's how we ended up with Hanford Site.
Even if it’s sitting in the background under a spoofed process name, it can be caught with memory dumps.

Memory dumps are obnoxiously useful for detecting stealthy malware, especially if you do the memory dumps from the hypervisor instead of from the VM itself.

The hard part is parsing :)

It typically takes much longer for people to process and make 'intelligent' decisions on novel information than we realize.

Again, typically the brain will skip these checks and go into fight or flight mode where you punch or run without knowing what you are doing. I'd like to think we break a lot of this response in the modern world by not being around a lot of spontaneous dangerous stuff, which leaves us gawking at times.
I would really love something like this that could be run locally.
I've seen people at Yellowstone pet bison and surround grizzly moms walking with their cubs for a quick photo op. I don't think a lot of these people have a real concept of nature and the unlimited ways it can kill or permanently injure you.
I guess talking about Kessler Syndrome is worth while here. A chain reaction where one collision, leads to more, which leads to more. It may be a slow motion chain reaction.

We definitely do need a way to clean things up, it is a shared resource. Unfortunately that means it suffers from tragedy of the commons.
It’s pretty rational really. You can linger in mediocrity always at risk of being replaced or you could take PEDs and either become competitive and important or get caught and be replaced, the same outcome as not using. Especially if you came from dirt.

It’s all upside if you can’t compete without.

When I see the humanoid robots, I think theirs totally potential. Looking at stuff like general dynamics robots and what university students are doing using computer vision and just a robotic hand is amazing.

I always find it curious how most don't mention the power issue.

Sure for the mechanical parts you need power but I'd think it would be more power efficient to offload some of the computing to a small 4U server. Think long term conversation storage or storing the lidar map of a building.

Solving the power limit is definatlg one of the biggest issues. Sure on a factory floor you might get away with overhead power and data wires, but thats not feasible in a home and basically teathers the robot in place.

Image a more efficient humanoid robot with human like features and better mobility. Now imagine using a standard Tesla charger you can use on any electric vehicle that has become the US standard.
That's why they were a perfect fit for Microsoft, both creepy as hell.

Hmm, surely “show” in this context would be “play” and “tell” would be “write it down”. I think you took the phrasing a bit too literally.
Russia-Linked Malware Cut Heat to 600 Ukrainian Buildings in Deep Winter
Right, but there are situations where you will pay for something one way or another; we'd like "not paying" to be an option, but trying to take that option causes you to pay in the most expensive way.

If you have a piece of industrial machinery, you will have down time for maintenance: you can pro-actively schedule planned maintenance when it's less disruptive, or the machine itself can schedule unplanned maintenance without regard to the disruption; "not having maintenance" isn't an option, and trying to take it is actually taking the "expensive unplanned maintenance" option.

If you're the parent of a toddler and that toddler wants your attention, they will get it one way or another: you can pro-actively make time for them, or you can re-actively make time when they act out, perhaps destroying something in the process; as frustrating as it is, "not making time" is simply not an option, and trying to take it is actually taking the "expensive re-active to acting out" option.

Here in the UK several years ago they cut back severely on social services to people with low-grade emotional problems. So instead of calling the social workers, they started calling emergency services, who are required to send someone out. The result was that much more more money was spent on emergency services. One could of course jail people who falsely call 999, but then that's pretty expensive too. For better or for worse, "not paying for people for them to talk to" isn't an option; it turns into "pay expensive EMTs to talk to them".

So, maybe there are these people who are just freeloaders; they get jobs and then do the minimal amount of work possible, they get boyfriends or girlfriends or spouses who will support their freeloading lifestyle. That cost is being paid right now, but in a damaging way: they're dead weight in companies and vampires on romantic partners. It would be nice not to pay that cost at all, but that doesn't seem to be an option. Maybe if we just explicitly paid them to freeload, then at least we'd have the benefit of not having them hurt our friends and our companies.
To me it will be most interesting to see who attempts to manipulate the models by stuffing them with content, essentially adding "duplicate" content such as via tautology, in order to make it have added-misallocated weight; which I don't think an AI model will automatically be able to determine, unless it was truly intelligent, instead it would require to be trained by competent humans.

And so the models that have mechanisms for curating and preventing such misapplied weighting, and then the organizations and individuals who accurately create adjustments to the models, will in the end be the winners - where truth has been more honed for.

Alphabet to invest another $5B into Waymo
The US has a fantastic transit system, for rural areas, independent movers, and to move massive distances in short periods of time. Highways and cars, and passenger airplanes are fantastic. Just the other day the president went from Las Vegas to DC in under 4 hours, for anyone who is unaware how impressive that is that's like going from London to Cairo. If you need to be able to move around freely unscheduled, need to be able to go basically anywhere in north america, even remote places, or need to go far fast, you can't beat the US.

Unless you live in an urban or suburban area. I agree with the author particularly about densely populated areas, the US is not just lacking, it is basically undeveloped. If I were inclined to live in such a place, I would pick a foreign city over the US. The congestion is probably the number one factor for me in deciding not to, although it isn't the only factor. There is not one single good reason why, if you live in a tightly packed place, you cannot get around your immediate environment with just the shoes on your feet. Especially considering that such places are supposedly designed exclusively for human habitation. It is downright shameful.

While yes, a planned economy is inefficient, the provision of public goods is inefficient when left to private markets. Essentially, the private market is inefficient for any type of "market failures".

This article is a decent starting place to look for more detail.

If you run in a panic when normal geyser erupts, it would be embarrassing, right? Now, what is a normal geyser eruption and what is not normal? If you never tried to research this, you do not know.

So we come to an uncertainty. This seems pretty big, and probably is not normal, isn't it? Or it is? So you are not sure, should you shake off social norms of behavior (being calm, not shouting, acting like a grown adult) and to switch to a survival behavior (running away, shouting commands "run" to others, dragging people with you by their limbs, or doing whatever you think is the adequate behavior for such a situation).

Looking at the video carefully, people in a few seconds come to a conclusion that this is dangerous and start moving away, but they didn't get away from norms of everyday behavior. These two different priorities (to act normal or go to the survival mode) are still there, and they are still fighting in minds of people for a dominance.

Their response was "gently jog while constantly checking over your shoulder", because they decided it is dangerous and you need at least jog away, but they are feel that they may be underestimating (or overestimating) the danger, and they keep themself aware of the events to be able to change their behavior accordingly to them.

The very situation prompts for rapid change from a normal mode of existence to a survival mode, and there is no clear unambiguous signal that it is the case. The geyser erupts? Didn't we come here to watch geysers? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to run from the geyser? There are a lot of questions, and System 2 is a slow one. People are educated to keep System 1 in a check and to think things through. They are educated to know some dangerous situations and they can react to them immediately, but this is something unusual, they are not trained for it, and their minds become overwhelmed by a massive visual stimulus and by all the thoughts and ideas that may be relevant, but only System 2 could decide and to prioritize them properly.

When I was watching the video I instantly saw that it is dangerous, but I was prompted about it by the article, so I was ready to see something impressive AND dangerous. Therefore I'm not sure would I be better in that situation if I was watching it in real life without any prompting.

> they have lived such safe and sheltered lives that they cannot identify real danger.

I wrote about it above, but I want to stress it out:

1. we are conditioned to think before acting,

2. most of us have no experience with geysers and we cannot access the hazard level of a geyser at the first glance, and we know that we can't, so... goto 1.

Do you get all your opinions second-hand?
Keep in mind that the design team usually doesn't just make up work items, somebody is telling them to work on some product area. That somebody could be a product manager, or somebody higher up. Presumably there's a reason for them to be working on those things, and it's related to creating some sort of value for users and the company. If not, there just won't be a design team there for long.
Isn’t this just taking a common sense concept and adapting it to the concepts and language of Turing machines and also topology?

While yes it shows these are good tools, capable of confirming/proving these intuitions and showing exactly how these specific systems achieve that, is there ever any concern we are making too many redundant concepts? That may lead to confusion and obfuscate the search for novel ideas, which I think won’t always happen through said tools. It’s not like these kind of intuitions were on shaky grounds or could be disproven.

I wonder if anyone shares these opinions?
The camera bridge is uglier than ever :D. I mean, it's a horrible creation, hire someone who can design things. Thanks.
When I tried to do this, I was looking at an OASIS spec I think? Several hundred pages? I found it to be quite impenetrable. Mainly because of all the jargon. It was all defined of course, but just in terms of other jargon. It was a bit like trying to understand monads by reading wikipedia. In the end I spent about a month on the project, with basically nothing to show for it. If GPT had existed at the time, I probably could have gotten enough of a foothold using AI conversations to understand the spec.
> with nothing to show for it

AI and LLM features are everywhere in Google products, on top of just using Gemini itself.

I have no idea what you mean. They have tons already to show for it, and presumably this is just the start.

I'm sure it varies a lot by type of job, but in my field it is not the first or even fifth place I would look for a new job. There's a lot of noise and postings can often be stale or in some cases are missing details, maybe because they were scraped from other job boards. If you have a large network, you may hear about upcoming jobs directly from colleagues' posts, but I think the general job search features on LinkedIn are pretty useless.

That said, I did learn some time ago that you can use various search operators (Boolean, parentheses, and quotes) which make it a little easier to actually get relevant job search results.
I was curious whether this was true but it seems made up. The source is this part of his biography by Ashlee Vance. The actual quotes only support that he thought CA HSR was mediocre, which is what made him want to suggest something better. The idea that it was a tactic to delay HSR independently of a better project existing is just the biographer's speculation and isn't supported by his words.

Given the details provided, altdataseller's is advice is pretty sound, but given the listed hardware specs and workload description ('data analysis project'), there may be some features in ClickHouse Cloud that could help bring your costs down to a more reasonable level:

• Idling - your cluster will scale to zero during periods of inactivity. If this is a relatively ad-hoc data analysis project, you'll benefit from the usage-based model (ie - if you're only actively running queries 10% of the time, you won't pay for the other 90%)

• Autoscaling — similar to above, if your workload is fairly bursty, your cluster will scale up and down based on resource demand

• 'Development' tier clusters — given the OVH specs listed, likely this isn't a good fit, but depending on your workload, the 2x8GiB setup can be a very cost-effective option

Happy to chat further about your workload and potential cost optimizations that can be made in ClickHouse Cloud if you're interested — email in my profile.

I'm not sure if you're passing judgement on Musk or the person you're replying to, but just for context, both Musk and Trump often use "woke" as a derogatory word.
Your comment sure is catchy. Making it read like half of Tesla's income came from tax credits. When in reality 'regulatory credits' revenue isn't significant.

>You see corruption, stupidity, self-shooting in the foot, greed, everybody thinking about themselves and screw others, mafia, and everybody knows it, knows who is bad guy, yet nothing is done.

Westerners who move there as tourists or with their remote jobs will never see this so for them it's only upsides, especially if they come from that country full of gun crime and homeless people, it's like some miracle place.
One thing that I don't think people realize is that group beliefs and identification go together. In that if you see yourself as part of a group, or want to be part of a group, generally you will need to adopt many of the same beliefs. Or at least outwardly appear to.

And a lot of this is subconscious.

It's not rational.

If you feel that certain web pages, communities, or apps are not meant for your group or you identify them with another group that you don't want to be associated with, then you will not enter them. You will see a different feed of information and social activity or opinions. That feed will largely subconsciously determine your own framing for the world.

It fills me with delight that apparently my lasting contribution to computer science is a piece of writing that also contains the phase "Spidermouth the Night Clown".
>How is it possible that someone sends out an update affecting the behavior of kernel mode code, all at once, simultaneously, to millions and millions of systems around the whole globe at once!?

>I've participated in many roll outs, and never would I allow a big-bang roll out like this. CrowdStrike should be charged with negligence for having this type of process. It's just plain irresponsible.

Agree with all of this. Related to deployment process or lack of one, the hour of the deployment has always struck me from the beginning. The largest impact was in the United States yet an update was pushed very early hours US time.

Presumably the off-hours deployment wasn't because of lowering the potential impact as they sent it to everyone.
Yeah I actually haven’t used the pattern much myself, so I started to doubt the relevance. Once you start having multiple separate monostates implementing the same interface, and also limit their creation/instantiation in the sense that the code that uses the monostate objects is separate from the code that creates them, the difference to regular objects/classes becomes a bit murky.

Show HN: Track live mentions of any keyword on any forum + Twitter
Hey HN! My name's Josh and I'm the sole founder of ForumScout.

I had the idea for this project about 3 months ago, and I've been building it ever since.

ForumScout notifies you whenever your chosen keyword(s) are mentioned on ANY forum or Twitter thread.

For example, let's say you own a SaaS that generates AI headshots. You could get notified when someone mentions "AI headshot", and offer them a free trial of your service.

There are many ways I believe a tool like this can be useful, but a few of the obvious ones are:

- Respond to mentions of your brand/website in real time.

- Find people who mention keywords related to your niche, and engage with potential customers.

- Monitor mentions of your competition, and pick the right moments to offer your alternative.

- Get creative. You can track live mentions of literally anything, anywhere on the internet.

When new posts are found, they will be added to the feed in your dashboard. Email notifications are optional, but will help you engage much faster.

Data is pulled from various different real-time Forum APIs, as well as a few native platform APIs, like Reddit.

I also built a free search engine so you can search for past mentions if you don't need live ones: https://forumscout.app/search

The search engine works differently from the live service, so it might miss quite a few posts - the live service doesn't miss any.

Right now, there's a 2 week free trial that lets you setup 5 of these automations for free.

If you'd like a longer trial period, please email me at josh@forumscout.app and I'd be more than happy to extend it for you in return for your feedback:)

If it sounds like something you're interested in, I'd be extremely grateful to hear your thoughts. I'm considering adding new features and looking for direction.
