For me, it absolutely is.

I find the recent religious switch towards worship of nature somewhat disconcerting, even though I like nature in general.

But one particular short stretch of Texan shore vs. space abilities of humanity as a whole doesn't seem a balanced problem to me. Starlink saves Ukrainian lives in battle and can save other lives in distress. It can also make countless human lives more comfortable, and a lot of businesses viable or more profitable. It is not a 'cool toy', it is one of the upcoming communication backbones of the planet, and it even protects some natural lands from being dug up, because it doesn't need laying of long cables across the wild.

I just cannot see how this could be considered as important as convenience of a few sea birds, who, if they are bothered by the launches, can fly a few miles away and be content again. After all, there is abundant wildlife around Cape Canaveral after 60 years of intense space activity - it is not as if rocket launches are a horrible Holocaust of all living things around. Nature adapts to changes. It always had.
Sometimes I wonder if our whole universe is some kind of transient aberration, if you zoom out far enough
The tarrif document defines slippers and having fuzzy soles meets the definition.

Saves a bunch of money, so I'm not sure why any (imported) shoes are sold without fuzzy soles.
Can you emulate common TV IR blaster protocols without first recording them?

I used to have an LG G4 android phone with a TV remote app built in- with just the TV manufacturer information, I could change the channel / volume in all sorts of useful places (the gym, etc.). I miss this feature often.
The EU has multiple parts. One part keeps asking for chat control, and another part keeps saying no.
Some of the best people I've ever worked with. Still friends with many of them to this day.
no, it tells you more about what sort of tasks they excel at and how story points are chosen. it's important not to extrapolate beyond what your measurement supports.
Another perspective, I don't feel like these informational videos need to be exciting. For this, I feel like 'just the facts' are a breath of fresh air.
I worked on my first (and my company's first) hardware product and the HTS regulations were absolutely eye opening. I lived my entire life without knowing about it until I had to actually deal with import/export of a product. It is mind numbing dealing with it. Correctly discovering, interpreting, understanding, categorizing, and conforming with the worldwide process is its own form of career specialization (and hell). No thank you, never again.
The cost of statistics gathering on a GC implementation that avoids ineffective GC activity is less affected by the cost of telemetry (no news is good news), but it is still affected.
Yeah but this would be more widespread and harder to counter; imagine a major phone vendor is a victim of the supply-chain attack he's describing. Even if only say, a thousand people buy Android phones with bombs in them, if suddenly no one can trust anything with a battery in it, that is going to have a major impact on society.

You don't even have to be proximal to the target, you can just swap a box of batteries at the factory a thousand miles away. Genuinely frightening if you ask me.
What about this is highly available? On a single VPS?

Does this only support a single app?

Nice project but the claims (production ready? Load balance on a single server?) are a bit ridiculous.
If it's JSON it sounds more like config than code. Does it actually need to live in the GitHub repo? Could your application read it from an external location (where ever the rest of your configs live) and reload it on an API call or periodically?
No, I mean taking a turd, which was the Cloud Foundry codebase that Pivotal inherited (aka purchased), and polishing it to be something that actually worked.

It is arguable if it was ever sufficiently polished, but at least we tried our best.
I'd also suggest people to take a look at Dokku, it's a very mature project with a similar scope and was discussed here a few weeks ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41358020

I wrote up my own experiences too (https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/selfhosting-with-dokku-and...) and I can only recommend it. It is ~3 commands to set up an app, and one push to deploy after that.
What was the fallout last time this happened? Was it like pulling the triggers of guns pointed at people's heads?
I don't understand how this doesn't fix "the root cause".

The root cause of obesity is a propensity to eat too much. The root cause of alcoholism is a propensity to drink.

It follows some people are lucky and simply don't have this propensity. For those not as lucky, we can get rid of it.

The root cause of obesity IS NOT "eating too much". That's a symptom! Why do some people want to eat more than others? Are they weak? Are they stupid? Fat chance. What's wrong with their hormones and brains that this is the case? This is what Ozempic addresses. You have it backwards here: people claiming that diet and exercise are the answer are actually not looking at the root cause, people developing drugs like Ozempic are looking at the root cause.

If you did manage FTL communication, it seems like it might let you detect the notional absolute rest frame, so you'd be breaking special relativity anyway.
I think we could have saved a lot of grief just making Pluto an honorary planet.

That's understandable. Control over standards has the immense value. Just like look at Nvidia's CUDA.
We don't know this True Detective Season 2 that you speak of. It went from the first season to the third season. We've all agreed that season 2 never happened. You must have missed the memo. It should be pinned at the top of your Slack channel. It should definitely be listed in HN's policies.

Depends on the system your work uses. Lots of them just have unencrypted strings.
"At the time" being when they turned NeXTSTEP into OS X / macOS (by way of Rhapsody / MacOS X Server).
Highly available is overrated for most use cases, especially for any side projects.
If you want to be inspired to floss more often, just smell your floss after not flossing a few days. Disgusting, and that's convincing enough for me.
Show HN: AnySkin - Plug-and-play tactile skins for robotics
Hello! Wanted to share our new work on AnySkin -- a new tactile sensor. Most recent developments in robotics continue to ignore touch: but AnySkin has the potential to change that.

Our most exciting result: Learned visuotactile policies for precise tasks like inserting USBs and credit card swiping, that work out-of-the-box when you replace skins! To the best of our knowledge, this has never been shown before with any existing tactile sensor.

Why is this important? For the first time, you could now collect data and train models on one sensor and expect them to generalize to new copies of the sensor -- opening the door to the kind of large foundation models that have revolutionized vision and language reasoning.

Would love to hear the community's questions, thoughts and comments!
The last 2 companies I’ve worked at (one massive one tiny) both didn’t use any framework. Engineers/PMs/Managers worked together to figure out what to build and the engineers built it. The only “tool” was trust and it worked out fine. We did a short daily or weekly status update to let everyone know how things were going, but that’s about it. Some engineers liked to break out work into pieces and put that into a spreadsheet, but it was completely up to the builder to decide how to organize their work. When a notable piece of work got finished the engineer would demo it to the team/company so more people could see how it was going.
Yes, but it was also a problem of relying on just one AOA sensor. That was approved across the chain of command and deemed "good enough". It's pretty clear to anyone that a critical system such as this should not rely on just one sensor, which may be faulty.

But they thought that, since the pilots would just have to do the 'runaway stabilizer procedure', it would be enough. They didn't consider how startling and different the system would feel.
30B is nothing in this space. It says it aims to create 1.25m units of housing over ten years. That’s $24000 per unit of housing. How is that even possible unless you're only building illegal shacks in BFE?

If you want to make a dent in the market you’d need to be investing closer to $300B/yr. I’m all for doing something but may as well go for something big if you’re gonna propose legislation that’ll never go anywhere anyway.
Tariff law doesn't just look at the label on the box. Otherwise there would be bigger problems.
Is it possible to emulate EMV cards? I have not had any luck with that, and most people are unwilling to talk about it as the usual use cases are pretty black hat (carding etc). I just want to use my Flipper (or some other hardware) to make a payment with my own card. I'm not trying to do any fraud. I want something that does tap to pay using any of the CCs that I own, without having to have a modern locked Android or iPhone that cooperates with the bank.
And I'd like having no taxes, but here we are.
I wouldn't hold your breath on being wrong. A device that converts heat into electricity without a gradient is a perpetual motion machine. Consider what would happen if you popped such a device on one side of a thermoelectric plate, and used its output to power a heater on the other side of the plate. The arrangement would permanently maintain a gradient across the thermoelectric plate - free electricity forever!
I did verify with an attorney that since I wasn't involved and made sure the owner knew what was what, that I had no legal obligations to disclose.

How does "R language" compare to searching for one of the popular R packages? Searching for "tidyverse", "dplyr", or "ggplot" seems to get a good chunk of hits. That being said, yeah, there does seem to be a trio of skills that often go together (R, python, SQL)
I never implied that PT invented the concept. I was just explaining the concept in relation to PT.

Doing what PT does, with index cards, would have been a nightmare on any sufficiently large project.
Slightly simpler handling for docker containers. Particularly if you run multiple copies of the same image on one box (blue-green deploys, process-per-cpu programming languages, etc)
I get what you're saying. I have the same feeling watching DIY Perks.

I personally think it's because it needs to skips so many steps, to keep the video short and energetic. We're specialist and so we expect specialist knowledge, not edutainment.
Forbes as a whole basically sold its soul for clicks. It used to be one of the three top business magazines depending on your preferences. After the web became dominant, at some point after Malcolm Forbes died, you ended up with a ton of blog writers--with plenty of biases and axes to grind--and essentially advertorial content.

I’m pretty sure it’s John Cale singing in the movie.

This is why memory-bound services generally use languages without mandatory GC. Tail latency is a killer.

Rust's memory management does have some issues in practice (large synchronous drops) but they're relatively minor and easily addressed compared to mandatory GC.
Stop Designing Your Web Application for Users When You Don't Even Have 100
Chunked prefill or some similar technique is also necessary for serving long context requests where there is not enough GPU memory available, regardless of concerns about latency.

For example, consider a prompt sent to Llama 3.1 405B that uses 128k input tokens.

The KV cache will be 123GB. No matter how many GPUs you shard the model across, you are not fitting that KV cache in GPU memory (a H100 has 80GB)
This article is very relevant in the context of the EU Digital Identity Wallet, and digital credentials in general, such as ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile driver licenses and other mdocs.

We may accidentially end up with non-repudiation of attribute presentation, thinking that this increases assurance for the parties involved in a transaction. The legal framework is not designed for this and insufficiently protects the credential subject for example.

Instead, the high assurance use cases should complement digital credentials (with plausible deniability of past presentations) with qualified e-signatures and e-seals. For these, the EU for example does provide a legal framework that protects both the relying party and the signer.

I’ve always been borderline obsessed with hey that’s no way to say goodbye, so long, Marianne, and later on if it be your will. There are so many other gems I was almost angry when Dylan won a Nobel and not Leonard Cohen. Another musician I enjoy in the same way would be Gainsbourg. Wonder when will the language model overlords understand all of these beauty.
This does nothing for them being able to continue with shadow profiles and inferences about you based on data they gather from others in your social network. It is well beyond "data you provide". Like waaaaay beyond.

It's not a solvable problem. Like most tech problems it's political, not technical. There is no way to balance the competing demands of privacy, security, legality, and corporate overreach.

It might be solvable with some kind of ID escrow, where an independent international agency managed ID as a not-for-profit service. Users would have a unique biometrically-tagged ID, ID confirmation would be handled by the agency, ID and user behaviour tracking would be disallowed by default and only allowed under strictly monitored conditions, and law enforcement requests would go through strict vetting.

It's not hard to see why that will never happen in today's world.
What trust do you feel was violated? Hezbollah just two months ago shot a rocket into a football field, killing 12 Israeli children.

Is children's trust that the football field is a safe place not violated now?
Israel invaded Lebanon to fight the PLO and Hezbollah was founded to fight back. They are absolutely part of the wider conflict. And if you read my comment again, you will find that I said none of the things you mentioned.

No. I'm saying once you smooth over five or ten year periods, that it is empirically false that the Overton window in North America is moving rightwards.

It may very well feel that way to people who live in strong bubbles, but it just isn't true across the general population -- which of course is how the Overton Window is defined.
Nope, the other way around.

It was in NeXTSTEP. It was taken out because of performance concerns that turned out to be entirely unfounded. Alas, when they figured out that this was the case it was too late.

A similar example is CoreFoundation. It was a C implementation of the OPENSTEP Foundation. To this day, even really smart, capable and knowledgeable engineers believe that CoreFoundation is faster than the pure Objective-C Foundation. It is not. It is significantly slower. Often several times slower.

(It is of course very slightly faster than the "new" Objective-C Foundation that was implemented on top of CoreFoundation).

Another example is Swift. People believe it to be generally faster than Objective-C. Again, this is not the case. Swift code tends to be significantly slower than comparable Objective-C code.

For me in the UK "best pet insurance" is squatted by The Telegraph and "best cbd gummies" has Forbes top and The Independent second.

I assume all media companies that have a "trusted domain" and are already involved in aggressive SEO are using this as a revenue generator.

The sites that turned exclusively into link farms like about.com could be whacked by Google eventually and everyone was happy. But if they try that with well known media brands there will be cries of censorship--whether it is collateral damage to some genuine journalistic content, or Google "taking away" a revenue stream.

Affirm: Scaling Our Database for Peak Season
In my experience, they're always just used as some abstraction over amounts of time, which doesn't seem particularly useful but also isn't objectionable. What's weird to me is how specific the patterns are sometimes; I've worked on more than one team that insists on only using Fibonacci numbers for story points, but also that anything as large as 8 should be broken up into separate tasks, which effectively means that they used the range 1-5 but forbid usage of 4. On one of those teams, during one planning meeting someone mused that they wished there were something they could use to represent "less than 1", and I suggested we try putting 0.5 story points into JIRA, which to everyone's surprised actually worked, so 0.5 became the only other allowed value.
These are exactly my questions. If I never, ever know about those pictures and never, ever have my life affected by those pictures, what is the actual harm to me?

If the answer to them ends up being "Well, it's illegal to take non-consensual nudie pictures.", then my follow-up question is "So, why isn't the failure to protect my personal information also illegal?".

To be perfectly clear, I do believe that the scenario kibwen describes SHOULD be illegal. But I ALSO believe that it should be SUPER illegal for a company to fail to secure data that it has on me. Regardless of whether they are retaining that information because there is literally no way they could provide me with the service I'm paying them for without it, or if they're only retaining that information in the hopes of making a few pennies off of it by selling it to data brokers or whoever, they should have a VERY SERIOUS legal obligation to keep that information safe and secure.
Israel has done many terrible things, no more than any other country who has engaged in war, nothing like crossing all lines, but pain was inflicted on innocent people, for sure. So what? October 7th isn't an inevitable or just counteraction. Jews have been mascaraed repeatedly for hundreds of years, including by Palestinians and other Arabs. Can you give an example where Jews retaliated by mass raping, butchering and burning alive their oppressors?
I think we could all agree that we shouldn't be sending billions of dollars to a country that uses the same tactics or worse than a militia.

Of course, unless you think state-sponsored terrorism is a good thing, or that it actually works to "fight fire with fire" (hint: fighting fire with water is far more effective).

I do not understand how this works. I thought the default PS policy on all versions of Windows was not to run "unsigned" PS scripts by default (precisely for this reason). Or at least I've personally seen that a myriad times.

So, are these malware scripts signed, has MS relaxed the default PS policy, do users relax it, or has this malware found another way around it?
CUDA success has much to thank Intel and AMD for never providing anything with OpenCL that could be a proper alternative in developer experience, graphical debugging, libraries and stable drivers.

Even OpenCL 2.x C++ standard was largely ignored or badly supported by their toolchains.
The problem isn't society or profit motivation. It's people. Humanity itself is corrupt. There aren't "good people" and "bad people". There's only "bad people." We're all bad people, just some of us are more comfortable with our corruption being visible to others to a higher degree.

If you search specific packages on LinkedIn the number of jobs is usually very small

E.g. tidyverse or dplyr is like 20-40 jobs. ggplot is 88. There's definitely way more than 100+ companies looking for R-heavy users.
Not so. IPv4->6 removes all existing v4 address blocks and redoes the addressing scheme. Those changes weren't necessary for expanding the address space. This implies that day 1 of using ipv6, all your addresses are different (and way longer), all your routes change, DNS DHCP etc all need to be swapped out, and bans/reputation are all reset with no clear replacement. And there were a bunch of smaller changes / new features.

Whatever you do to get more addresses, it will look similar in the end, but the steps could've been very different.
The old Ford transponder keys don't do rolling codes.
> Unfortunately, a lot of unforeseen problems show up during the implementation phase, and people blame the waterfall model for not being flexible (agile) enough to address these.

my experience is that people spend half the time bikeshedding the obvious problems that waterfall would have identified in much less time, and then still hit the unforeseeable problems after implementation anyway. if they could have been foreseen, they would have been rolled into waterfall.
