Wonder if this is more due to Bhyve being developed on FreeBSD and Illumos derives from a common ancestor BSD?

I know NetApp (stack based on FreeBSD) contributed significantly to Bhyve when they were exploring options to virtualize Data ONTAP (C mode)

Oh, definitely, of course it wasn't a good or desirable outcome.

But it was also a prototype being deliberately tested to destruction, so the context as compared to Columbia was quite different. (And it wasn't just the rocket itself that was a prototype, the pad and tower were at least a little as well).

And this has always been SpaceX's approach, rapidly iterating their design by building, testing, destroying, rinse/repeat - so it sometimes feels a little difficult to compare to a more NASA-style design process where a (usually) small number of items are produced with a significantly lower tolerance for failure.

(Edit: And how much better is it to learn these design lessons before the cargo is more fragile/delicate/squishy?)

Thanks for the response! If true, this would make the experience more like a Metcal then. Very good iron. You must have your thermistor/thermocouple very close / inside the tip itself then, no?

No doubts then on the tip quality - I've seen the rest of your stuff (good).

Apple Now Supports a Ridiculous Number of Old iPhones. Here's Why
Man, what a waste of the term "autonomous worlds." When I hear that, I think "game where the world evolves independently, with or without direct interaction from the player" which is EXACTLY the type of game that I love to play. But if you look up that term you just get a bunch of boring blockchain junk.

Sure, in the platonic ideal of that example. But in the real world, firing 40% of a division will almost always mean a higher workload for the 60% remaining, which in turn leads to lower quality of life for those people, which often leads to higher turnover and projects getting dropped / mistakes getting made / etc.
Show HN: I made a tool to find purchase-ready leads from LinkedIn, X, and Reddit
Hey everyone,

I’ve just rebuilt my SaaS, Replyhub[1], a tool to find high-potential leads from Reddit, X, and LinkedIn. The tool scans relevant posts related to your business, analyzes them, and identifies potential leads. It then alerts you so you can either reach out to them or engage with the posts directly.

Here’s the backstory: When I first launched Replyhub three months ago, it was designed to monitor relevant discussions on Reddit and automatically reply to them. The goal was to streamline engagement and surface potential leads. However, several issues quickly arose. The AI-generated auto-replies started disrupting discussions, making them less natural and less helpful. Additionally, some users exploited the tool by creating new Reddit accounts to spam discussions with automatic replies. To address these problems and maintain community standards, Reddit began shadow-banning these new accounts.

Faced with these challenges, I decided to rethink the approach. I removed the auto-reply feature entirely, shifting to a model where users can manually engage with discussions. This adjustment fosters more meaningful and respectful interactions, allowing users to contribute value to conversations and introduce their services only when it’s truly relevant.

In the latest update, I’ve expanded Replyhub to include X/Twitter and LinkedIn. It now monitors real-time discussions across all three platforms, helping you find potential leads who are ready to purchase a solution to their problem.

Any feedback or advice is welcome, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

There's no such thing as “altruism”. The reasons don't matter. A good reputation, on the other hand, does matter, and I'm afraid that they've squandered it. It's difficult to regain people's trust.
Laziness is but one mistake in Haskell. It should not prevent you from using other parts of the language that are wonderful. There's a reason Mu exists, which is to take Haskell and make it strict by default: there are plenty of good things about Haskell even if you consider laziness to be a mistake.

(Of course a small minority of people don't consider laziness as a mistake as it enables equational reasoning; let's not go there.)
While I agree that your "negative side" reasoning comes into play in some hiring managers' minds, in my experience filtering those companies out can be beneficial anyway. There's a night and day difference between the culture of companies that think "I like that my employees are inventive and have hands-on experience building things from scratch" versus companies that think "I'm threatened that my employee might start his own business and not need this job anymore."
This looks really nice! Can the base station be used like a normal powerbank (for plugging phone or laptop into it)? Also while it is in use?
I want them to make the point explicit so I can explain why they are a greedy leech. If they keep the point ambiguous by asking a rhetorical question they can move goalposts.
The title is misleading:

> we’ve made the decision to cancel the Runtime Fee for our games customers

Non-games users will still be charged the runtime fee.
> Remember the time when cloud services made things cheaper

No. When was that? Cloud made things easier and faster not cheaper. You trade money for convenience.
I work at Viam. They bill for usage-based consumption of the cloud platform features like data storage and ML model training. The pricing page says you can "remotely manage machines through Viam web UI" for free, this includes controlling your machine with the SDKs.
I am surprised by all the downvotes! Alas.
Just because it's beyond me or you doesn't mean it's beyond everyone else.

The point GP made that it seems most people have missed, is that we need to recognize that we almost always lack the necessary context and expertise to understand something. One potential response to that realization is more ignorance, yes, I suppose. Another might be looking for people with the necessary expertise to understand something and get their input on it.
It seems like you have a misunderstanding of how this works. If you want or NEED to do the things that break integrity you still can do them. You just need to enable them at the command line and admit that "yes I know these things break integrity and that I may not get the best performance or may face crazy bugs from unsafe apis or non-portable code".
...isn't that a good thing? Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would I want to play a game in which my in-game assets can be arbitrarily manipulated by out-of-game actors? It doesn't even sound like a game anymore then, just another crypto market.

Or is that the point? Lol, I was drawn to EVE by the customizable ship loadouts and group combat and such. But maybe that's not really the core audience and it's finance types who really play the game as it was envisioned...? Probably why I prefered Elite Dangerous to EVE...

I lost a job because I included my startup on my resume. But before you decide if you should skip it because of that, read on.

When I was in college I created a tiny ISP for my friends in my apartment. I got a DSL (which was $350/mo in 1999, about $1200/mo in today's dollars). Then I ran ethernet cables to all the apartments, and set up the router and collected payment from everyone.

I put this on my resume as running a small ISP.

When I was interviewing at Google, everything was great, I was on the last interview, and he asked me about it. So I told him honestly about how I had 10 customers. And he said "oh, so not a real business, why would you put this on here?". And then he rejected me and I didn't get into Google pre-IPO (I had an insider tell me it was his rejection that did me in and it was the only reason he didn't like me).

So my point is, if it's there it invites questions. If you have a good story it can only be a good thing (and you honestly have a good story). Just be aware people might ask questions and be ready to answer.

Social shaming is so watered down these days. Used to, if you stepped out of line, society would shun you and nobody would patronize your business or whatever, and you'd have to move out of town. Nowadays you get some mean online comments and downvotes. Nothing in your actual life changes, because modern society is so bureaucratized (in a good way) that most social functions operate independently of your social approval rating. Yet so many people live in fear.

People need to mentally toughen up, stop being "influenced" and just make their decisions and live their lives.

Either breastmilk has health benefits or it doesn't. This shouldn't be sensitive information. We should not care whether this adds "toxic fuel" to some online idiot fest. People who can and want to breastfeed, do it. Who gives a flying fuck what facebook commenters say or how much "guilt" they are "layering" on.

If you're going to live in a modern bureaucracy and take all the shit that comes with it, at least use the advantages boldly!
you can't build a fledgling indie game dev business on broken trust. it's that simple really.
That’s the case for every family feature ever though. Family is always short term for household. You can’t add your grandparents, cousins and uncles to your Spotify family either (if they don’t live in your household). And I don’t think anyone hearing about a family feature which allows sharing subscriptions expects otherwise.
Why are they still maintaining an old version? Why didn’t developers just upgrade to 4 when it was released?
I think you'd find the article's assertion that the mark is "painless" is a bit overoptimistic. Liquid nitrogen feels about like being burned with a soldering iron (having used it before to remove warts).
I have seen no plans for a 4th launch/catch tower.. has he even hinted at more sites? Or are you referring to the historical BFR design when musk planned on landing them on the ground like falcon?
> I’m debating whether or not I should put it on my resume.

Tailor your resume for the role you're applying for.

If the role is purely engineering, then show relevant tech skills. Instead of I built a startup, you could say I built a a platform X that does this using this.

When you're applying for a job you're basically submitting an answer to a question, so you need to understand what they need from you. Putting `I made a startup with X number of users` signals that you've your own thing and would leave in a heartbeat. It only make sense if you're looking for an advisor position related to product/business.

Jokes are discouraged so let me add some context for people who don't get the joke. "Homelander" is a character in the Amazon Prime series "The Boys". It's a show about "superheroes" where most of the heroes are either seriously evil, or morally flawed.

Homelander is the leader (think weak Superman) and as a result of being raised without parents (in a lab) has a "mommy" fetish that includes drinking breast milk, sometimes directly from the source.

So weird typing that out, it's such a messed up and wonderful show!
No.

Perhaps we can use LLMs to invalidate patents. Want to check a patent? Just download the LLM model from before the issue date, then ask the LLM to produce the work. If it succeeds, you have invalidated the patent because the work was not novel.
Really? Who does appoint the governors, then?

We thought there was no legal way to do a lot of things that Trump did, yet he did them anyway. Turns out a lot of things we thought were "laws" were either regulations subject to repeal or modification by executive order, or just "guidelines" or "gentlemens' agreements" that were always open to abuse by anyone willing to cast tradition aside for the sake of expediency. It's ironic that only the conservatives are willing to do that these days.
Yes! You have two ports on the front, so you can charge your phone or laptop while you solder.

Or, mount two soldering irons with different tips. The wheel controls the temperature, and the blue action button toggles between which one you're controlling. Two soldering irons can be hot at once.
Are companies interested on running LLM inference locally?
I have been thinking about this recently. Many projects are focused on running LLMs and SLMs locally. However, is that just for playing around? Or do you actually want to run the inference locally in your companies?

I feel like there could be 2 major advantages: costs at scale and privacy.

1. When talking about the cost, GPT-4o-mini is inexpensive and if we continue in that path, the cost for inference will become negligible soon. Unless your company makes huge use of the model (or uses huge contexts), like those running thousands of autonomous agents, investing in the hardware, does not seem like the best alternative.

2. Privacy. I would say this is more relevant for some industries that work with highly sensitive data. However, I can see how big companies simply engage in private cloud contracts with Azure or other cloud providers. They provide that peace of mind and scalability and at the same time, depending on the contract, some guarantees.

So my big question is, do you know use cases or companies deploying LLMs on their data centers, or looking to do it or is this just for hobbyists?
This is awesome! I was just today building a new wsl distro, and I didn’t want it tied to just a version of Linux but rather a project. I had to download a rootfs of Ubuntu and import it, and then spent time installing everything. Ofc I could use a bash script to automate the second part.

So this would have solved my prob: have a dockerfile or image and up an wsl env for it. Given how great wsl is these days (i used to have Linux and Mac as daily drivers, now wsl) I guess this sort of thing will become more and more relevant
Why is it so hard to buy things that work well? (2022)
This is true, I find LLMs to be the best mental lubricant ever created. Cures writers block and gets me out of creative and technical jams all the time.

Overall a great idea, though not a fan that you can’t directly change the temperature on the soldering iron without the power station.
I was gonna point out the same thing as the parent about the tips but figured that what you said must be true. Those existing tips were meant for specific power and whatnot… y’all needed to do your own thing to meet your higher, different specifications.

What are the eyebrow raising connotations you have?
The 100w and heat resistant storage caps are nice, but that battery pack pricing and the lack of on-device controls makes this not an option for me.

$110 cad for the soldering iron is semi-reasonable, if a bit high compared to their competitors. $342 for the iron + battery means that's a $230 battery pack, which is absolutely insane.

Requiring the battery pack to be able to easily change controls means anyone doing more than super basic work, needs the $342 combo.
How is a more fragile device that costs 3x as much and (presumably) runs android supposed to "steal the spotlight" from a boring incremental upgrade to an iPhone. They're not even related other than being "phones".
> It would be interesting to know if some of the suburban street numbering schemes for the roads that cross municipal boundaries are still using the old system and that is why the street numbers seem to reset once you exit the city.

I was wondering about that, particularly for the named roads. I believe Pulaski/Crawford was always Crawford first until Chicago renamed their portion to Pulaski and Skokie kept the Crawford name. I recall my dad telling me that when he was a kid in the 50s Pulaski was Crawford all the way down. I think that might have been the case with Western/Asbury as well, but I’m not too sure on that one. I’m sure there are many other examples.

And here’s an unrelated yet interesting Chicago street fact for anyone still reading: Elston starts and ends at Milwaukee Ave., so there are two Elston/Milwaukee intersections.

Just terminology. Whenever a new higher-privileged entity is created, it is sometimes described as a negative ring.

There was a time when people thought if we could put the secure code in a lower ring, then with it we could protect the rest of the system. With virtualization, the hypervisor is in ring -1, which is technically not a ring, but rather a mode called VMX root operation, post-VMXON. This enables things like the blue pill attack, where the hypervisor is itself presented with a false image of the underlying physical hardware, by a malicious layer. You can find the same pattern in ARM TrustZone, where the secure code is repeatedly broken.

the best intro to writing Haskell for me was writing Elm. The best intro to writing Elm was writing pointfree Codewars kata solutions in JS using

with(require("ramda")) fn = pipe(…)

And yep, you end up with a lot of folds (well, reduces) where that ellipsis is. Or related functions that are really folds.

For those wondering `with` in JS is a bit like `extract` in PHP except it creates a new context right after itself rather than modify the context it finds itself in. It's super deprecated because it's inscrutable and silly except in this case and/or when you need to solve Codewars katas in a limited number of characters.

Strengthening postconditions and relaxing preconditions is harmless in theory, so it should be harmless in practice.

Haskell gets in the way by facilitating clashes of incompatible types: there are reasons to make breaking changes to type signatures that in more deliberately designed languages might remain unaltered or compatible, without breaking call sites.
