Yep in Netflix case they pack bare-metal instances with a very large amount of containers and oversubscribe them (similar to what Borg reports: hundreds of containers per VM is common), so there are always more runnable threads than CPUs and your runqueues fill up.

> The difference is that an app can detect if it has been sideloaded, and the app developer can decide how to respond to that.

I don't want the app developer to have that power. The developer does not get to subvert my control. If I want to make the app believe it's running on a stock phone, that's what it should believe, and that's what it will believe.

It's my machine. What the developer wants or doesn't want is completely irrelevant to me. Only what I want matters. They should count themselves lucky if I trust them enough to allow their software to run without poking at its innards to see what it's really doing.

> The decision to use that is on the developer

Every developer making apps for a proprietary app store will make the decision to use remote attestation. It's a power struggle. They want to own our computers.

> Not having the outputs tied into the code is actually preferable if the ultimate goal is reproducible science.

What a strange thing to assert, especially as a general overarching truth.

The best reports I have ever seen have matched code and output in the same file. There's never a question of what code generated a plot or a table with a notebook.

With .py files and separate outputs there's far more change for unreproducibke science, it's far messier, and for someone who doesn't appear to respect the organizational capabilities of academic labs, you are condemning them to far more poorly organized outputs.

> Having multiple copies of code

That doesn't have anything to do with notebooks. It's as silly as saying that a Python package is a poor idea because you say somebody repeat code across multiple places.

> non-version controlled files

Notebooks are no less version controllable than .py files.

> outputs with timestamps and run information

Jupyter notebooks are perfect for this, far superior to a directory of cryptically named outputs that need to be strung together in some order

> documentation dispersed with questionable organization

Using separate Python files rather than a notebook means that documentation can never be where it needs to be: next to the output. This is one of the ways that Python files are strictly inferior for generating results.

There are roughly two modes for notebooks: exploration with a REPL, and well-documented reports. The best scientific reports I have ever seen are notebooks (or R Markdown output) that are the full report text plus code plus figures.

It seems the cops can get metadata from an ISP without a warrant, but need a warrant to access "stored communications" such as emails.

I assume they'd usually be following backwards from an IP address, e.g., in some investigation they've raided some server logs and found a connection from an IP address, and they'd then go to the ISP to get the name/address of the subscriber. They seem to do this quite frequently.

The Arabic-Indic numerals are especially neat because you can see how they evolved as they spread:

https://persianlanguageonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07...

Years ago I worked on a site which was translated into Arabic. Some of the early partners were adamant that we needed to use the Indic numerals everywhere, so I had localized all of our UI, including some JavaScript widgets and worked with a third-party to localize their embed. A few years later, they had a larger conference with a wider swath of the Arabic-fluent world represented and pretty much everyone said we should use what the English-speaking world calls Arabic numerals because most people were more familiar with them than the Indic numeral variants they didn’t use, and computers were making that even more pronounced.

This brought back a great memory from my childhood. When I was a boy, in fourth or fifth grade, my dad showed me how to give my friends an electrical shock with a transformer and a 9-volt battery.

I made the design my own by mounting the transformer to a 4x4 piece of scrap plywood, and then cutting out two square 'finger pads' from a tin can, and screwing those into the plywood also.

Add in some wire, a switch, a battery, and a little patter, "place your two fingers on the shiny pads and this will make music....using your mouth as the speaker" and your parents get a call from the principal.

Honestly, I always thought I was the only one who did this. My dad was a practical joker with a sense of humor that only he understood.

My dad died last February. This was a wonderful memory that made me smile. Thanks Hacker News for two memories in a weeks time!

I don't think this result reflects all antibiotic treatments:

"RESULTS Oral antibiotic treatment disrupts the colonic mucus barrier"

Intraveinous administration may or may not cause the same effect, or a similar effect. Maybe oral antibiotics is generally a bad idea because it disrupts the microbiome, but in other forms it's generally fine.
You should flag it then. If enough people agree - it will disappear. Otherwise, either it will fall off the front page or a healthy discussion will ensue. HN democracy at work.

I think the author raises a good point about how much human time/energy/effort go into creating content for systems that are at best closed loops when it comes to search-ability/discovery methods, and prone to disappear completely if one company loses funding or has a policy change at worst.

Both of those seem antithetical to the free exchange of information that was the ethos of the early internet.

I also recognize the profound economic incentives that work against that free exchange of information, and I'm not offering a solution, so grain of salt and all that.

It's dead simple to do dead simple, and then it quickly gets hard to impossible to do the complex things you need, is my experience with Django ORM.

My favourite model personally is a very lightweight mapping into a model in the querying language, like Diesel or less. Django unnecessarily changes established terminology and introduces abstractions that are ultimately limiting.

Not at all. I reject any and all notions of "intellectual property". Especially when their implementation requires the sacrifice of free computing as we know it, the destruction of everything the word "hacker" ever stood for. I'd very much prefer that creators have zero say over anything, if that is the cost of computers remaining free.
Lovely CSS and nice content chunking, but perhaps overly biased towards finding utility with LLMs as there is too little information about cautions to take.

Most egregiously, on the AI is stateless page[0], it shows relying on an llm reponse to call a program via sudo. I can't think of a system where a professional programmer could justify such a risk.

I think after "AI predicts text" it makes less sense to say "AI is just another API" than something like "AI makes APIs fuzzy" because the stochasticity makes an AI API anything but "just another API." Most people think of APIs as deterministic in function, AFAIK.

Two distinct classes of antibiotics (neomycin and vancomycin) seem to induce ER stress in colonic cells which decreases mucus production and increases risk of bacterial inflammation etc. The point is that there appears to be a direct effect on the host mouse physiology. There are other classes of antibiotics that do not have this effect, phage would likely be one of them (there is a theory that phage provided a persistent immunity by dwelling in the mucus).
So how do other States handle this? I get a text message when my ballot is marked as received and counted, and the ballot comes with tear-off receipts that I retain until the ballot is counted. Never had an issue with my ballot not being counted though.

Reminds me of the (now removed) article on encrypting saved games in the Godot game engine:

> Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist
oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the
gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for
video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor
souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget
the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief
free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or
services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing
on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with
tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on
them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is
through in-app purchases and virtual currency.

> But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and
assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible,
because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore
run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have
nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing
their own irrelevance would again take over their life.

> No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to

I have exactly the same experience here. You can see that the software has tremendous potential with a lot of work put into it, but the UX still sucks balls. Using the mouse to select the element you want is finicky the best. It takes me 5x the time to do the same thing vs fusion or solidworks.

Then there are smaller frustrations like this confusion between "Part workbench" and "Part design workbench" and unhelpful python errors when you try to do something. But I am sure these will be fixed sooner or later. I think once the UX gets an overhaul it will be 90% there!
I like the point you are making in this post. It makes me think about the Backblaze blog posts where they discuss the likelihood of enough drive failures to lose user data. Then, they decided the calculation result hardly matters, because people are more likely to forget to pay due to an expired credit card or email spam filtering (missed renewal reminders!).

How do mega corps remember to pay their domain bills? Do they pay an (overpriced) registrar for "infinity" years of renewals? This seems like a genuinely hard business operations problem.
I guess it's a reasonable enough financing decision for a fast growing pre-IPO company which cannot issue public debt. Gives them optionality and access to short-term debt at likely favorable terms, as I imagine banks are trying to please them however they can to win future mandates
