This is a reaction to Grosch's Law, "Computing power increases as the square of the price".[1] In the early 1980s, people still believed that. Seymour Cray did. John McCarthy did when I was at Stanford around then. It didn't last into the era of microprocessors.

Amusingly, in the horse-powered era, once railroads started working, but trucks didn't work yet, there was a "last mile" problem - getting stuff from the railroad station or dock to the final destination. The 19th century solution was to develop a bigger breed of horse - the Shire Horse.[1]

Has anybody used Wirehair in a project? https://github.com/catid/wirehair

I'm curious if it's well-defined enough to base a standard around--informally if not formally--for building a large file archiving/data recovery project I've been mulling over for nearly 10 years. It's the only large block erasure code I've found that has both the ideal (or nearly ideal) algorithmic performance and API. That makes it a nice blackbox for my use case, unlike something like RaptorQ, which leaks little details all over the place, driving up the complexity and rigidness of the rest of the stack. But Wirehair isn't a spec, it's an (experimental?) implementation of an idea. It seems stable, but unless/until I try writing a second implementation, or it's seen substantial use (exposing any sharp edges in the algorithm) I worry how easily it would translate to a reliable specification or second implementation.
Right, and then they just enjoy defacto immunity in the criminal system due to their proximity to the other arms of justice (judges, prosecutors, etc).

So that hardly ever matters, even if it is technically possible.
That could be solved by proper regulation. As far as I can tell they are already making the process as miserable as possible. I don’t think it would get worse.

You’re rather underestimating the vast expanse that is the Chromium codebase, I think. That said, distributing tags files was a common thing once, and a dedicated symbol package you could just download and feed into your language server (instead of being constantly tethered to a symbol server) could make for a nice affordance today.

Apologies for the very off-topic reply, but I can't help but find it a little funny that on a thread exalting a particular tool, the top comment at the time of this writing is a link to another, newer tool. Not that there's anything wrong with sharing the link, but it does seem like here at HN we have a bit of a grass-is-greener thing going on. I would understand it more if the discussion was around how bad a tool is and someone chimed in with an alternative. And it's not like I don't want people to share these other projects but personally on a thread about a particular topic, the comments I find the most useful are those from people with experience in that topic sharing their opinions, tips, etc. In this case, the comment our community found the most valuable on the topic of Dokku seems to be a link to Dokploy, a project that judging by the commit history is new as of this past April.
This sort of stuff is very common in many states. Adding amenities, either private or leased to private orgs to run, such as swimming pools, boat rentals, concessions, and more. Land swaps are less common, usually because of the stipulations that usually come with how the land was acquired by the state if left to the state by a private individual. It's also a less popular with the public.

> The guy WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE ORGANISM THAT FAILED. You are taking for granted the opinion of a person who is deeply not impartial. Of course the CEO of EDF will blame the failure on others.

I thought you knew things about the politics of the sector. The video I linked was in the context of a commission of inquiry.
The result of the commission are available here, they show a way more nuanced statement that you. https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/opendata/RAPPANR5L16B...

Principally, they are not blaming EDF direction about this failure.

> And of course, the incredible excessive costs have nothing to do with that.

The plant was fully repaired and working when it was closed, it was still expected to generate money to reimburse itself, or at least a part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix

This plant was also needed in order to be more independant on uranium.

> No, it is due to the strategy of allocating the budget inside EDF. They made explicit choice about not renewing their expertise, they drop local partnership for no good reason. In fact, they move the expertise to other countries for budget reason, and would have done so whatever budget they had. Same with automotive industry: delocalization to cheaper working countries.

I suggest to read the report I linked in this comment, which show you are making up shit, the reason are highlighted in it.

> Again, that's so biased: if someone choose to close a nuclear plant, there is for you only one unique possible explanation: anti-nuclear.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix#Closure

It's funny how you claimed being nuanced and we are down to you claiming that closing down fully working plants, that have history of anti-nuclear activists fighting against, and making political alliance in order to close it as "not anti-nuclear".

At the risk of anecdote extrapolation, I did a 1000 deficit to lose 1kg a week and never felt hungry to do it.

There are enough fruit and vegetables like celery, carrots, cucumbers, apples, pears etc that you can eat if you feel hungry, and you'll feel physically sick well before you've eaten too many calories.

While it's a diet change, it's far less intrusive than just having to put up with being hungry.

I agree that she's right regarding how distributed systems will eventually work. My disagreement is not with the "what" nor the "why", but rather with the "how". If a "better Molecule Kit" were the solution then I think we would have built one today in VR.

IMO the fundamental problem is that visualizing complex systems fails because the result is either too cumbersome to be useful or too simplified. UML tried to solve that issue (in 2D) by allowing you to go into more/less detail as you need it, and yet its adoption in modern software development is uneven at best. And there's a reason why we use flowcharts mostly for beginner's problems.

The actual solution, I believe, was getting away from visualizations by making robust software (well...) with clear interfaces to abstract the complexity away. Reaching this conclusion took a lot of work by plenty of brilliant minds, so I'm not faulting her for not being that accurate in that particular prediction.
In spite of our human tendency to divide ourselves into smaller groups, we all share one planet, and particularly relevant, one atmosphere. Perhaps developing countries can leapfrog to renewables, but if they have easily accessible fossil fuels, it seems likely that they will be exploited; they are irresistible if you ignore the negative externalities.

Almost all of these cases are being cleared because DNA got shoved into a large enough private database that practically everybody now coughs up a correlation.

A couple of things you describe would raise anti-trust issues or at least historically did in Microsoft's case.

Not sure why I need another integrated browser and certainly don't need Microsoft Office integrated with MacOS. A better clipboard manager and management of downloads might be nice but is pretty far down the list of things I care about. There have been various projects to have better UIs, e.g. Sun's 3D one, but nothing has ever gone anywhere.

Some of it I'm sure is just that I'm fairly set in my ways and largely live in a browser other than a few multimedia programs but I just don't have any deficiencies at the OS level that jump out at me.

I've often felt Apple's stinginess in the RAM department would bite them at some point. I'm not happy to be proven wrong, but I do feel vindicated.

Sometimes people will reply to this saying it's not a problem, because Apple is more than happy to take your upgrade money. They are, yes, but that's not to say there aren't also problems: not every customer will upgrade, and even those who do upgrade might badmouth the company, which might make friends and family less likely to buy an Apple product. I'm also not convinced Apple likes to disrupt their customers' usual purchase cycle, as that introduces uncertainty in their financial projections to shareholders.

There is no shame in building something that doesn't sell. You'll likely build tons of apps which don't work before making money.

It's a nice idea, simple to execute an MVP on tech side - but you need a truckload of money to reach customers and sell it.

Unless you get significant adoption you are unlikely to be profitable.

Do you like marketing and sales? Are you good at it?
This will be the bulk of the work that makes or break the product.

If you are not ready to do that, you need to decide if you want to build it for the pleasure of building or for getting into the rhythm of shipping - both are valuable goals.

I think I was respectful enough to word the original comment I made to the difference between Dokploy & Dokku, not just saying one is better than the other. I've used both successfully and think both are great products - just wanted to share my experience. There seems to be an umbrella recently of self-hosting tools like Coolify/Dokku/Dokploy etc. so wanted to contribute to the discussion in that way. Dokploy is also an open-source project so thought the exposure might be positive on a high ranking HN post.
>So we agree it doesn’t scale. You can’t have 1,000 people each digging their own septic system around an apartment complex. What you’re proposing is adding cost and complexity to sewage in order to ensure you only pay for your shit.

The asinine approach of using a rural septic system on a Manhattan apartment doesn't scale. Metering water consumed in most cases is pretty good at finding sewage use, and water metering exists in most apartments or at least every one I've lived in.

>...complexity...

On the contrary, your system is a complicated one that instead of metered sewage or water one has an army of tax collectors who meter our earnings & property & spending, who in practice toss people in a cage when they don't pay up rather than just stop the service.

>Indeed, but literally all of the infrastructure up and down the supply chain that makes a $5k septic system available to you is.

Sure but under my proposal everyone pays for services consumed, if you think rural people are stealing your infrastructure taxes to build septic systems by all means that's an argument to 'tax' at point of consumption, since we're cheating you apparently. (Now we know you really are against paying taxes for others poop!)

>Ah, so you’d rather the poor pay interest on the ability to shit? Surreal.

Well in practice they pay interest either way, privately or via inflation and public debt gov uses to expand their scope.

>Yes, and I don’t think those people ought to be unable to shit in dignity. The libertarian dream is a nightmare

Mentally ill and the poor shit in public largely because housing is unaffordable and it isn't convenient to have to hike a long way to take a shit.

It depends? This is really early research long before viability in a production capacity.

If when it's scaled up it can be lower power for the same size that's a good thing of course but modern high end compute (desktop & server) are pushing towards 3D transistors because the main bottleneck (other than heat dissipation) is the length of the critical paths. The hope is that while 3D transistors would make heat dissipation harder, they have the potential to significantly reduce the length that electricity has to flow between one register and the next (which must all happen in a single clock cycle).
That depends entirely on the font used.
