The author touches upon Heroku in the sense that they say they've used it, but I think it is still, to date, the best PaaS out there, and makes some (if not many) of the author's arguments void.

There's been so many apps on Heroku that I can deploy with just `git push heroku master`, and I've worked on team where we've scaled on heroku on the db and app side with very little devops work, if any.

What the author is completely right on, however, is Fly.io -- it's unfortunately a platform that has _just enough PaaS_ to seem easy, but ends up being frustratingly difficult and comes with a lot of hard edges, even for simple apps.

Provisioning a postgres db on Fly.io is a great example - just use `fly postgres create` and go through the steps! Uh oh, the provisioned db template is defaulting to `SQL_ASCII`, I need `UTF8` encoding, what's the best way to do that? Good luck -- the Fly.io docs don't talk about that at all, and if you aren't a high enough "tier" of plan you get 0 customer support, just a community forum, with people asking questions and many times getting no responses.

When companies dominate a market, even with a few competitors, collusion and price gouging often follow. Weak antitrust enforcement has enabled these practices, limiting competition, inflating prices, and stifling innovation.

This not only harms consumers but also holds back economic growth. Strengthening antitrust policies could curb monopolistic behavior, promote fair pricing, and restore market competition.

From personal experience, I think having to unlearn the trigger(s) - in this case a specific colour creates more difficulty than its worth. You're intentionally coupling then de-coupling neuronal networks, and the de-coupling is harder than the coupling.

I don't think this should legally qualify as a loop because per 4.4 Loops the loop actions must be identical and cannot contain conditionals. You're changing the order you put the cards in on the bottom for every step. The MTG Judge blog seems to not consider this though and allows infinite Petal casts to sort the library, I guess it doesn't count as a meaningful decision for the purposes of the loop.

The big problem arises because players are able to interrupt after a set number of iterations of a loop to so what does your deck look like 25k iterations into the 51271 steps required to sort a 60 (edit: 59) card library?

Some things I’d love to see in AI for CAD that would be above this are
1) Is it manufacturable - where it analyzes different mfg methods, for feasibility and estimated cost. So many engineers design impossible or expensive to manage parts. AI could help make this not the case
2) as others have said, BOM/SAP/etc.
3) make the drawing for a machine shop
Right, and that was Schmidt's point too. Its just interesting to see two Silicon Valley leaders admit it so bluntly recently.

Show HN: Anton the Search Relevance Evaluator
Hey there HN,

I'm Pablo from Objective. We're working on an AI-native Search platform. Today we're releasing Anton (https://www.objective.inc/anton) an API that you can use to evaluate relevance for any search system. We would love your feedback. Here's a quick demo by my co-founder Lance: https://youtu.be/geX8mwBGqIo

Why we created Anton: In every company we've worked, it was very slow and costly to spot check a new model, or to thoroughly evaluate a release candidate, or to compare a few competing approaches for how to improve search going forward. In each of those cases, we would absolutely have loved to have had Anton!

Today, in order to ship search that doesn't disappoint users, software engineers need to become experts in AI/ML, information retrieval, data engineering, and more. Folks in our team have worked for some of the largest companies out there (Apple, Google, Youtube, Amazon, Twitch, etc.), building products that you use every day. We've all had to build and stitch together similar components everywhere, and we're now building Objective to lift some of that burden for you. We want to make it super easy for every developer to build great search experiences into their app/site.

To build Anton, we spent a lot of time evaluating different LLMs, prompt engineering, fine-tuning and really throwing the kitchen sink at the LLM-as-a-judge problem. We've discovered many ways in which LLMs make it hard to make systematic progress, and only a few that didn't make us question our sanity. That work culminated in the creation of Anton. We hope this will provide you with a cost-effective way to get near-human quality relevance judgements, so that you can delight your users every day with search that actually understands them.

Can't wait to see what you'll build with it. And as always, would love feedback!

I wouldn't say it's that drastic. Also, SELinux can give you a false sense of security. It's best to harden the system overall instead of relying on one security feature (however good it might be).

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this thread. SELinux is so easy to set up in anything RHEL 7+. Everything from the distro works ootb, the auditor will tell you exactly what caused the error, it will give you the commands to fix it, and you can label programs you don't want to deal with with unconfined_t. There's no reason to completely disable it, you lose all the benefit of all the software Red Hat engineers have already made work with it.
Being Swamped Is Normal and Not Impressive (2022)
Indeed, disabling SELinux is like following instructions for PHP applications and running "chmod -R 777 /var/www".

I used to work at a payment provider and we had to deal with lots of monitoring and security stuff. Some of it was (obviously) busywork and needless checkbox filing, but other parts were genuinely useful. Setting up systems was tedious and difficult, but ultimately worthwhile and necessary.

Efficiency... Supersonic is even less green than air travel in general. Efficiency is quite a big issue always when flying is involved. Not that you can't use gliders, but those are not practical for general transport.
That is inaccurate. Both Rye and uv have the same goals and support virtualenvs.

uv is meant to supplant Rye eventually (it mostly already has: see also this post by the creator of Rye: <https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/8/21/harvest-season/>). But you can’t put a virtualenv into a Kubernetes, so Docker containers are still interesting if that’s something you want to do.

> but it could be argued that human intelligence is also just 'fancy autocomplete'.

But that's my point - in some ways it's obvious that humans are not just doing "fancy autocomplete" because humans generally don't make the types of hallucination errors that LLMs make. That is, the hallucination errors do make sense if you think of how an LLM is just a statistical relationship between tokens.

One thing to emphasize, I'm not saying the "understanding" that humans seem to possess isn't just some lower level statistical process - I'm not "invoking a soul". But I am saying it appears to be fundamentally different, and in many cases more useful, than what an LLM can do.

It's a good generalization of several techniques. The main thing I want to know is this: how does it look with actual HDR exposures, not the synthetic ones made by "increasing exposure and colorfulness significantly"? We shouldn't choose a method based on how natural the result is, when there is a "stretching" step like this that is not at all natural.
It's way too crowded these days, nobody comes here anymore.

Serious answer: Almost everyone who owns a PC or laptop. Almost everyone who does work on a computer.
Having read the article I could not find any example of what is impossible in AppArmor, just a statement repeated in various ways that SELinux is easier to provide a secure-by-default environment with the closest thing to justification being that SELinux models things with types whereas app armor deals with restrictions on specific applications. I’m sure this all makes sense to someone already well-versed in the space, but I’m left with the same question as OP.
I'm trying to think about service oriented architectures (or microservices - choose your term). Based on this..

- looking at the larger system, you are preventing scale by creating interconnects between these services

- looking at the services themselves, it makes the logical boundary smaller, thus giving opportunity to find monotonicity more easily

How do others think of this?
That should be valid. Though if your opponent knows the real number you need to hit and can interrupt your cycle they could choose a lower number in which case I guess you'd be best off just shuffling your library to 'resolve' the number of loops cast.

I'd do it for 98 cards though so you could apply the number in (c)EDH where you're likely to actually see this combo happen though. It would still be valid because if you can sort your library to an arbitrary state S in N moves you can sort it to a state S' that could result in S in any number of moves greater than N as well.
I will do that, thank you for playing!

> Kubernetes allows you to mount block storage volumes for storing files. But each volume can only be mounted to a single server instance (pod). So if you want multiple pods to access your volume, you need to configure and deploy an NFS service. In which world is this simple, convenient, or straightforward?

While I am far from a microservice evangelist, when you adopt a framework you have to adjust your architecture to that platform to be as successful as possible.

Microservices are intended to be _bounded contexts_ and if you violate that concept you retain the complexity and lose the benefits of the tradeoff analysis that should have been done to decide on your chosen framework.

Adding crosscutting concerns like a NFS server violates the context boundary and leads you down the path of building a brittle distributed monolith.

The concept of independent deployability in microservices is a guide to help avoid architectural erosion.

The real answer to this problem is to quit making random golf course architecture decisions and make pragmatic choices.

Architecture is about finding the least worst option and is context specific with lots of nuance.

If you simply quit focusing on silver bullet myths and focus on what you needs are and adapt how you build your systems to work with the frameworks you have chosen things will work better.

Good Architecture is hard, but not nearly as hard as repeatedly building balls of mud and blaming the tools that you have chosen due to hype, habits, resume building and/or complacency.
I think the fragmentation problem extends well beyond "golly, which does my little head ever pick - they're all so perfectly usable I just don't know how to pick one!" and more to "well this one has Q, G, and Y... but that one has M, G, and Y but I can get Q if I tweak... and this one has M, G, Y, A, Q, Z but switching to that means I have to take its unrelated opinions on B, O, J, and N which I don't like" kind of scenario. There are plenty of flavors which can be acceptable but the premise is finding a flavor you want to use more. Without extreme ideological grounds on the level "Microsoft did ${thing} so I'm never touching them again" that becomes difficult to weigh.

I generally get away with a lot of use cases at work just saying "It's the front facing LTS of Ubuntu" and a lot of use cases at home just saying "Since it's just for me I'll customize Arch to what I need" but there are still plenty of scenarios, in each, just going with Windows makes a lot more sense (or sometimes is the only viable option, e.g. home HDR or work vendor application support).
US Job Openings Decline to Lowest Level Since January 2021
Is the question about Linux in general or about Pop_OS specifically? I've used it--the differences are going to increase once their new desktop environment releases, but right now it's comparable to Ubuntu except with some nice-to-haves (proprietary NVIDIA drivers are installed automatically, no software is delivered via Canonical's 'snaps' which are almost universally hated). I enjoyed it, but in my opinion, popular distros are more similar than they are different.

If you mean just replacing Windows with Linux in general: it's great, unless you need to run, say, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Excel, or Fortnite.

> On some level mathematics is a description of reality that we can use to compute things in reality.

This is contested by nominalists. They'd say you have it backwards. Mathematics is just an abstraction/language that can be used as a tool. The reason we're able to understand the world through mathematics says more about the power of mathematics than it does about the world. If the physical world were different, math would still work.
no shit. liars.
I always saw this as a mistake. We are basically all use containers (well, here; in the real world I almost never encounter devs even knowing what they are, let alone having ever worked with them) and a lot of these containers are made by vendors and maintainers; why can't containers have this rigidity and so must be by default secure? Solve both distribution and security at the same time. It would be easier to actually set rules for containers as they have restricted functionality so at least you know that if you fire up application Bla, it is rock solid by default instead of having to assume security wise they are worthless. As most on Dockerhub for instance is commercial, wouldn't this be a pretty basic demand to have?
Dolphin Progress Release 2407 and 2409
Are you using any sort of 3rd-party macOS app that changes scroll behavior (like UnnaturalScrollWheels) or anything like that?

I was able to consistently replicate it with a wheeled mouse with that app enabled (which I use to invert scrolling and disable macOS scroll acceleration on wheeled mice). Once I turned off the app, it no longer happened.

I also tried it with a Magic Mouse (which uses touch scrolling instead of a wheel) and the issue did not occur, even with the app running.
