This is so incredibly close to my own experience it's weird. I find AI incredibly useful: not world-creating or world-ending, but useful.
Consolidation and oligopoly aren’t new in the past 4 years. What is new is the trillions of cash injected into money supply.

Greed is constant. Consolidation started in the 90s and the same 4 grocery companies have owned the market for 15-20 years.

They only have ability to increase prices because consumers have more cash to spend. They would have loved to do this 5 years ago, but random $30k household income families of 4 didn’t get $16k handed out to them. (Two $2k/person stimulus rounds in 2020 and 2021)

I'm still not sure what's the point, what value does it bring, if any at all. Even the article mentions that it shows pretty much the same as the BigMac index.
What is the point of limiting the scope of discussion to a single visit per year? Am I missing some context from the article that makes this relevant to things like the expense of follow-up visits to confirm/treat complex diagnoses such as secondary hypoaldosteronism, discussed in the article?

In my case, I have multiple conditions that require expensive monthly or annual visits, which I’ve severely lapsed on.
It’s a new take on what we called a camera lucida, which was a trick with optics that let you superimpose a scene over your view of a piece of paper. You could get the proportions right and then do your magic with color and technique. Not unlike how animators work.

If you’ve seen anything on animation prior to computers you’ve seen the classic technique of putting one sheet of cello over the last thing you drew and flipping between them to copy the shared details before changing tone thing for the next frame.
My point about AF447 was:

- even with redundancy, there can be enough failures that the computer no longer has enough information to make the right decision, one thing humans seem to be good at.

- people who had been trained in stall recognition and recovery, but probably had not kept proficient at it (unlike pilot of slow airplanes like GA and glider pilots) failed to recognize it (only 1 of the 3 pilot did) and did not recover from it.

> Our team's big mistake was believing blog posts that swept laziness problems under the rug

I linked a blog post[1]. I wouldn't say it sweeps anything under the rug. In fact it takes laziness out from under the rug and shows you exactly how to deal with it. If you think that approach wouldn't have solved your problem then perhaps you could elaborate why.

I’m not super familiar with the latest AI services out there. Is abacus the cheapest way to access LLMs for personal use? Do they offer privacy and anonymity? What about their stance on censorship of answers?
Wow what were you expecting? A year per year of service?

Yes, that's how it worked before 1989. In that year the law was changed so that creators now obtain copyright automatically without any requirements for notice or registration.

If the linked article is accurate and Warhol gave a disk containing the images to an engineer without a copyright notice on the disk or in the disk's contents, and without any explicit restrictions on redistribution, those images are in the public domain as well.
> the CA design doesn't kick someone out once their access is removed, but Userify's shim actually terminates all of sessions instantly

I was a bit confused at first, I thought you were saying ssh certificates couldn't be revoked - but I see you're talking about signing the user out from existing sessions.

That is a fair point. I guess removing/locking a local user (in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow) would typically leave any console logins alone too - unless other action is taken.

Certificates can of course be revoked:

250 miles isn't nearly as much as it sounds - you need to leave plenty of buffer in case something goes wrong so cut some of that off. You also need to get to an airport and then from the other airport to where you are going. Thus most of the time for distances of that range driving is faster.

The cases where I've seen this in use are from island to island (or mainland) - where a boat is much slower and there is no bridge for a car. A useful niche, but not general purpose getting around. There are also a few people who happen to live near (often on) an airport and work near an airport who will fly, but that is also a small niche.

Though the “we just do meds” pharmacies are dying out in Canada as the margin is increasingly in the unregulated (price) over-the-counter products and you increasingly need the buying power of being a part of a chain for both meds and over-the-counter stuff.

Sure, but I do not see how that improves by focusing on the “premium” hardware. Unless the box is actually cheaper, I would expect the AI capabilities to cost more (either on cloud infrastructure or higher performance chips). Worsening their margin per unit.

People just want to watch Netflix or Disney with minimum friction. A box that is twice the price of the competition, with questionably useful AI features does not seem a winning play.
I had a lot of fun making a small hack-n-slash for the Sega Genesis. I did it in pure 68K assembly, but there is also a framework called SGDK that lets you make games in C.

Making a game from scratch in assembly was eye-opening. I used to wonder in amazement how programmers made games in assembly for the 8/16-bit systems, but now I've learned that it's....just programming. It's even pretty fun!

My favorite part of this project was that I had to consult old scans of Sega programming manuals from the 90s in order to do drawing, scrolling, etc. Lots of fun bit operations required to communicate with the hardware back then!

Those sorts of requirements are transient. It took something like a week of heavy labor for me to jackhammer out a reinforced bank safe to make room for a pet grooming facility. The majority of the cost to the new tenant was renting the jackhammer. It's not free, but on the scale of starting a new business it's not a big deal to retrofit a space.
Show HN: Gaps – Interval training and fretboard visualization tool for guitar
Hi everyone, I wanted to show a tool I've developed for ear training on the guitar. I've always used interval training apps to practice recognizing intervals by ear, but then I had to go through the extra step of learning how to find and play those intervals on my guitar. I developed Gaps to be able to train both skills at the same time.

This isn't how Sentry works though.

1. You have a burst of errors - typically this happens first month when people dont understand their volume, or they had a runaway bug.

2. We rate limit/throttle you for your billing period. We also provide some tools that we'll eat various cost for periods of time (such as Inbound Filters and Spike Protection).

3. You never have to "contact sales", but you're certainly welcome to email support, and they almost always will forgive your volume.

It sounds like you want us to pick up the cost, which sure, sounds great as a customer, but we're trying to build a long term sustainable business. We can't just accept infinite data and not charge for it. All of that costs money, and while in some less common scenarios you can dedupe client side (we do), mostly they have to hit our servers, and that has a cost associated.

Did any of the commenters read the slideshow? Heroism is bad when it covers systemic problems.

Heroes are great -- SREs who rise to the occasion to prevent horrors are appropriately rewarded and congratulated for their work.

But when a product relies upon heroes to continue operating, you are in a dangerous situation. That's how major outages occur; the hero goes on vacation or decides to let it break this time and the cascade of failures causes huge amounts of damage, where letting the system break much earlier would have made it clear to the development team that there is a major gap in the intrinsic reliability of the system.

Ask HN: Theory of Backups
Most discussions of backups are focused on the consumerist matters.

There seems to exist, buried underneath the superficial & the common sense, theory on how to do backups well.

I've found two elements upon which better theory concerning rotatioms & other details (EG hash verification scheduling, amount of different devices) can be built.

The first is the Tower of Hanoi scheduling scheme, which we will abbreviate TOH.

The second is the Incremental-Differential-Full backups concept, which we will abbreviate IDF.

The best available resource seems to be the Acronis websites' illustrated docs: http://acronis-backup-recovery.helpmax.net/en/understanding-acronis-backup-recovery-10/tower-of-hanoi-backup-scheme/. I request that you in good faith ignore Acronis is a company selling commercial Windows software; you are free to post better links in comments were you to find better info elsewhere.

We end up with a scheme we can call IDF-TOH. In it we have three types of backups:

- Incremental, at L_0 ("Level A" in the linked resource), the most frequent level, capturing only changes made since the last backup.

- Differential, at each level that belongs to the closed interval L_0-L_n, capturing changes made since the last full backup.

- Full, at L_n, the least frequent level, capturing the whole system to be backed up.

So now, what can we do? At least the following directions could be taken in further developing a Theory of Backups:

0 (backup scheduling): The frequencies can be chosen in many ways, and I am not sure which one is most optimal. Tower of Hanoi is for every level L_a, where a belongs to closed interval 0 ... n, 2^a. Frame-Steward may or may not be of any use in this.

1 (rotations): IDF-TOH does not address the problems of rotations. IE: if you make a backup that corrupts your previous data, and then repeat the mistake, you get in trouble quick. It's ALSO noteworthy that certain mediums may better fit certain layers in IDF-TOH & the future schemes. At least, for example, adrian_b three days before this wrote:

"... Of all the optical discs that have been available commercially, those with the longest archival time were the pressed CD-ROM with gold mirrors, where the only degradation mechanism is the depolymerization of the polycarbonate, which could make them fragile, but when kept at reasonable temperatures and humidities that should require many centuries..."

Consequently these would be the best for the Full backups, while Solid State Drives may work for the Incremental ones.

2 (perfecting IDF): The IDF scheme may not be perfect either & can probably be refined more or less.

3 (hashing): Verifying the backups matters & should be a part of a complete scheme.

---

This may not be valuable for all businesses but most invididuals already using rsync or borg would probably prefer to use the best available scheme if reduces probability of incidental data loss at minimal effort. The task of translating the best possible scheme to a config program with humane interface is an undertaking of its own.
Why can't the single player functionality continue working indefinitely?

And maybe we can also mandate that companies release detailed server specifications when they turn down a game. Everything that might be needed for someone to rewrite the server. Then someone else might step into a breach - a different company, an open source project - and continue providing the service.
Every "smart" tv is definitely spying on you. Your best defense is never setting it up or buying a dumb tv I'd you can still find them. Control your data! If you're going to surrender your data willingly to apple, google then fine that's a choice, but smart TVs like modern cars have no choice.

Being the hero once is fine -- but if the only reason we don't have outages on every update is because of an SRE who takes it upon themselves to babysit the update, then the system is super broken and there will come a time when that babysitting doesn't work and the lack of awareness of the problem will cause the cascade to be that much worse.

You are very close to solving a real business problem. The problem is not "how can I have SSH aliases on my computer" but "how can we manage, company-wide, who can access which SSH servers."

My company currently uses YubiKeys to support hardware-based individual SSH keys. These SSH keys are distributed with Ansible. It works but is cumbersome and lacks a single pane of glass.

What we would like to have: a list of servers, a list of users, user roles (via sudoers), and a WebUI to manage all of it.
And I don't know of any tool to do this. Of course, there are tools like Teleport or SSH CA instead of SSH keys, but they are for larger organizations and are overkill for my company.
You could call it a market inefficiency since the media would actually be worth the higher prices to people if they didn't have a way to pirate. So as long as piracy is technically not very hard, it'll always be relevant.

Today, you can see this with live sports. Hardest thing to pirate for technical reasons, most expensive thing to legally watch. I get that it costs more to serve, but not that much more.

> And I’m an advanced vim user who types at 155 wpm.

See, it's comments like this that make me suspect that I'm working on a completely different class of problem than the people who find value in interacting with LLMs.

I'm a very fast typer, but I've never bothered to find out how fast because the speed of my typing has never been the bottleneck for my work. The bottleneck is invariably thinking through the problem that I'm facing, trying to understand API docs, and figuring out how best to organize my work to communicate to future developers what's going on.

Copilot is great at saving me large amounts of keystrokes here and there, which is nice for avoiding RSI and occasionally (with very repetitive code like unit tests) actually a legit time saver. But try as I might I can't get useful output out of the chat models that actually speeds up my workflow.

> Ease of deployment and operation are also important, and that's an area in which rqlite excels

Amen. I've been building something appliance-like where I want to support clustering but I don't want to manage a database cluster inside the project.

Rqlite is so easy to run either stand-alone or clustered. It's a godsend.

And when people want postgres or whatever, I let them bring their own database. It's not hard to abstract a database storage layet if you plan ahead.

But if you want it to 'just work' rqlite is doing that with flying colors.
Thanks for the question, but I don't follow it -- I don't see any data staleness if you query rqlite during snapshotting. Granted the blog post doesn't go into every single detail, so this might be hard to follow.

Can you expand a bit more on your concern? What scenario do you have in mind?
The article says this is an estimate based on an "about 10%" figure:

In 2021 they praised the device as having good performance at a price point that is ~$30-40 less than what Google is launching their device at. The second gen of that Fire stick is selling for $40 right now on sale with Wi-Fi 6E. I saw some benchmarks posted of this chip and some others (with a Pixel 6 thrown in arguing that using a bunch of older Tensor chips might have also been a good idea.) And also a Shield TV which is 5 years old at this point.

Single core:

Fire Stick - 140

Shield TV - 279 (99% faster, twice as fast).

Tensor G1 (Pixel 6 Pro) - 1007 (619% faster, seven times faster)

A15 (Apple TV) - 1684 (1103% faster, 12 times as fast).

Multi-core:

Fire Stick - 491

Shield TV - 971 (98% faster, twice as fast).

Tensor G1 (Pixel 6 Pro) - 2541 (418% faster, five times faster)

A15 (Apple TV) - 4489 (814% faster, nine times as fast).
