It's not weird at all, and it's the same in all languages. Some of the countries are very new, or the speakers of the language only came in contact with it recently. Then it's more likely they will use a country-related term. If on the other hand you have been in contact with the people for hundreds, or thousands of years, long before modern nation states, you will probably be using a tribal name for them, like Dane or Swede.

It is usually easy to understand if you just look into it.

Nice work on Sequencer! I really liked the Workspace CRD.

Nothing too specific on choosing Istio, but it seemed like a popular and battle-tested option to start the implementation with. Kardinal is a fairly young project (about 2 months old), and we expect it to adopt more "service mesh backends" in the future.
Almost all software outsourcing I have seen end up costing more in reputation damage, drop in quality, bug pilling up, incompetent programmers, etc. World would be a better place if MBA managers were not running it.

Anyway this is why professional engineering were created, to protect the public against those exact bad practices. If we were serious about fixing the issue, we have the solution.
We do not craft models of reality because reality and models have any kind of intrinsic connection. We craft models of reality because we value models.

That is arguably very funny.

SnapDiagram – Instantly Convert Hand-Drawn Diagrams to Digital with AI
[dupe]

More discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41325184
Hey Hacker News,

I'm excited to introduce SnapDiagram, an AI-powered web app that allows users to seamlessly transform hand-crafted diagrams into polished, digital visuals. Whether you're sketching ideas during a brainstorming session or mapping out a quick process flow on paper, SnapDiagram can help you bring those rough drafts into the digital world, instantly and effortlessly.

How it works:

- Snap a photo of your hand-drawn diagram using your phone or upload an image from your computer.
- Our AI processes the image to recognize shapes, text, and connections.
- Get a clean, editable digital version that you can export in various formats, share, or enhance further.

Checkout how it works on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2cq8B7vTXw
Not saying it isn't reasonable, but I'm guessing people might downvote because of storing secrets server-side rather than passing them on from the frontend and saving them there instead. People get worried as soon as secrets are stored anywhere :)

The tank is not the vehicle, the grill is the vehicle! People own their grills and swap the tanks.

Alright guy, I'll bite. Why do _you_ think that Boeing off-loaded manufacturing burden to 3rd party companies? Their executives have effectively gutted the company over the last 20 years. Now we're left with a bailed-out husk the government literally _cannot_ afford to let go out of business.
It blows my mind how many public services have been privatized in the UK. It just feels like they're selling off the shoes they're standing in. When their railways got privatized, the service didn't improve, the price just ballooned.

Even in the states, the USPS has resisted privatization this far. For the love of god I hope it continues to. Protect our boys n girls in blue and tell your congressman you want postal banking.
Management at Boeing killed those 346 passengers.
I think this proposal is silly but come on, no keyboard has a twitter icon either.
The shareholders choose the CEO to improve returns, not to improve safety, until safety safety impact returns (which it did for Boeing). Which is fair, we live in a capitalist world, capital is thus by definition deciding power and wanting to have more of it is a decent want.
I don't get the need for this.

Yeah it was honestly more of a marketing statement lol, but removing it for sure. Adding daily/interval exporting is one of our top priorities right now and after that and making the scraping more reliable, we'll add something similar to GraphRAG.

Yup, very obviously a problem and it's why we got CORS :) But just because it's a problem, doesn't mean we can remove it from all browsers and call it a day, it'll break huge parts of the internet.

So in true internet engineering fashion we do what we always do, pile yet another layer on top of the stack to fix some issues from the previous layer (and add some more complications for the next (future) layer).

- Which law enforcement agencies do you choose to work with?

- All of them?

- Just the US ones?

- What about employees who aren't US citizens?

- Which crimes are you happy to help enforce?

- To what extent are you happy to be used as a tool of the US criminal justice system?

- Do you want to enable the US government to have dragnet surveillance of the entire world?

Bear in mind, the US government is very keen on using it's power for economic advantage, and not just for criminal enforcement.

In some cases it's clear cut - it's clearly in Meta's interest to safeguard children on their platform.

In some cases it's clear that not co-operating is probably the right thing to do - e.g. protecting a journalist reporting on North Korea.

Library workers punched, spat on: Security incidents on rise in public libraries
Bigger companies have launch checklists where documentation updates are listed. Those checklists can be as simple has an issue tracking, e.g. JIRA, template, Trello ticket or a Google Docs document. The rest is employee discipline (or having somebody dedicated assigned) I think. A better checklist won't magically get the updates on the page. You might even end up with yet another checklist item "check new system X and cross off all open items there".
So this is the new zeitgeist. Between AI, quantum fundamentals, disinformation, and a few other less obvious trends, "reality" is going to get less and less concrete and more and more contextual and non-binary.

Can't be everything. Electrical power is like 20-35% or so of total power used in most countries. I just checked some statistics of the Umweltbundesamt, the German ~environment protection office. The electrical fraction is suprisingly low! Though it's supposed to increase because most renewable energy production is electric.

My guess is nuclear energy, more efficient cars, better insulated houses, and less heavy industry.

Tilt works as an in-place hot-reload tool for containers. However, because it performs in-place updates, it doesn't support running multiple parallel and isolated versions of your cluster side-by-side.

That said, the timing of your question is perfect since we are about to push a Tilt integration that allows you to create an isolation flow and use Tilt to hot-reload and update that flow in-place! :)

> this leads to the ability to do those kind of automated root cause analysis at scale.

I'm curious how well that works in the situation where your config change or experiment rollout results in a time bomb (e.g. triggered by task restart after software rollout), speaking as someone who just came off an oncall shift where that was one of our more notable outages.

Google also has a ledger of production events which _most_ common infra will write to, but there are so many distinct systems that I would be worried about identifying spurious correlations with completely unrelated products.

> There has been issues that are external (like ... physical connection between datacenters being severed…) but they tend to be a lot less frequent.

That's interesting to hear, because my experience at Google is that we'll see a peering metro being fully isolated from our network at least once a year; smaller fiber cuts that temporarily leave us with a SPOF or with a capacity shortfall happen much much more frequently.

(For a concrete example: a couple months ago, Hurricane Beryl temporarily took a bunch of peering infrastructure in Texas offline.)
From experience, most are very junior and use automated solutions which just don't make sense. When we do ours we really focus on core elements and very material findings... as everyone should. But competency is so rare in this field it's hard to follow.
Ironically, proving the (wrong) point
> Many users don’t want more options, they just want an opinionated and reasoned one-size-fits-all experience. Such a desire is incompatible with a fair and open market for browser software or app stores, for example.

Many users want what marketing told them they'd want, and that's not snarky, I include myself in it. Guess what, I even own an iPhone and two Macs. It's all fun and games until this create megacorporations which are more powerful than democratic states. If the price to pay to try to reduce monopolies is "forcing" normal people, which, on average, are not stupid, to use their brain for literally 3 seconds per couple years, I do think it's not that stressful.

But have no fear, they'll choose Chrome as automatically and with the same level of stress that they'd just open Safari before that. So they'll 100% abstract away the responsibility of keeping a phone secure and free of malware ... to Google.

> Allowing a user to choose any app store means the user can no longer choose not to ever be able to choose an app store

Wait what ? This sentence doesn't even make sense. And furthermore you just have to tap the App Store icon to not choose not to use the App Store (lol).

> The only way I can think of squaring this circle is for Apple to sell two different SKUs of every iPhone: one that can sideload (and allow apps such as alternate app store apps to install other apps), and one that cannot. Then users can choose their overall security model once at time of purchase.

Mmmmmh, so now you think the users can choose. But let's go deep in your theory. Let's say that Apple chose to do that. You understand that this would translate to the same object with just a software flag somewhere ? Why couldn't I, a responsible human, owner of this iPhone 13 Mini, decide to switch this theoretical flag without buying a new phone ? And they don't even sell 13 Minis anymore.

> Absent that, the DMA is choosing the “you must have more choices” choice for users, whether users prefer that or not. Many users choose iOS because the security choices are already made for them and can’t get fucked up by their own configuring.

The DMA doesn't disallow users to choose the Apple way. In fact it's still the default everywhere in the OS, the process to sideload other stores is pretty hidden and clunky. But yes, you are right, DMA forces them to click on "Safari" on a setup screen and maybe it'll be the root cause of a future PTSD epidemic.
Humans are not “generally intelligent”; our intelligence is extremely well adapted to being a hominid family animal in a tribe or clan in a savannah habitat with large predators and hostile members of our own species lurking about.

Our senses and brains are well suited to reasoning about and making decisions in environments at “human” scales. By that, I mean that humans don’t receive relativistic, atomic or quantum phenomena directly with our unaided senses, and therefore our brains never developed intuition for these phenomena.

So it’s no surprise at all that our intuition completely fails us at those scales.

Again, our intelligence is not “general”; it’s hominid.

It's a selection problem. Public companies must make number go up no matter what, so they hire CEOs that do so. The CEOs that might focus more on sustainability eventually get filtered out of the system, much like an engineer that complains a bit too much about lacking security protocols.

That's why CEOs that have a history of destroying companies and making bad decisions keep getting hired. Because what they're good at is extracting wealth in the short term which is the only thing that matters.

Eleven Labs is too expensive.

> Understanding reality makes our lives significantly better.

Of course on the whole understanding makes our lives better, but if you're asserting this for everything, it's probably some kind of a survival bias. The understandings that aren't really useful are often forgotten, while the useful ones are passed down through generations.

It's actually very easy to get caught in understanding niche topics that genuinely find very little application.
As long as you have the money in your coffers to pay for any wrongdoing you'll never get charged. These fraudulent securities in 08' were also somewhat removed from depositors so it's hard to see too many similarities to this case of a local bank.
Definitely a bad idea!
I seriously doubt this is the mistake of $9/hr workers. Those workers are unlikely to be familiar with the whole picture and would probably just have requirements delivered to them. This is not a case of badly written code, the code didn't crash. It just didn't fit the requirements, likely because those requirements weren't known, because someone I'd wager working directly at Boeing getting a industry-typical salary didn't deliver them.
Do you have an example of automated scanners?
I really do not think the programmers are the responsible in this case. I'm not sure, but for what I understood, it was not a failure in the SW, but a failure to explain the pilots the changes in the behaviour of the plane.
Here I would question the whole process. Do these developers have even any chance to stop this process or raise up issues? Is anyone listening to them? Or will they end up being removed if they raise up something?
