This is not specific to open telemetry collector but overall in terms of distributed tracing, due to the nature of things it is getting extremely complicated. Especially in the Kubernetes context.

Another remark is that blog posts and tutorials include configuration not recommended for prod usage. ( in this case grpc SSL insecure option ) These quickly become foot-guns living in production

Moreover, due to the nature of go applications' static compilation mindset each component include various plugins hence their configuration quickly becoming a large file nobody except DevOps understands or configures.

Obviously original documentation is sufficient and explains well enough but nobody reads these fully. I have came across multiple times that engineers “made it work” using external service names and whatnot. Soon enough the production may hit by increasingly high response times due to both infrastructure level and tracing level misconfigurations.

I went a bit off topic and ranting here but open telemetry is a quite large piece thus should be taken carefully while implementing on a live platform.

You just replied to a comment in which they did not reply to you. Thus, you were not heard.

Why? Why did you do this instead of talking to a friend on the phone or in a video call or text where your qualifier actually holds true?

Did you lose your mind? Or is this just an alternative form of validation for when you cannot get proper human validation from your friends?

I hope this causes some reflection. I don’t believe the absolutist views espoused in this chain are all that helpful. In both the sense of relying on AI to combat loneliness entirely, and also equating using it as a tool in your toolbox as suicide worthy.
Spin is easy as long as you avoid trying to draw a direct analogy with ordinary rotation.

It’s just the statement that the object spinning is attached to its surroundings in a smooth and continuous fashion. Less rigid object, more a patch of space-time fabric spinning.

At current exchange rate, that is a steal! Kanazawa is... Sadly not typically a place you go if you're on a brief visit of a couple weeks.

When I was studying abroad in 2001, I saw an original FM Towns tower case basically in the junk pile. I wanted it even then for how distinctive it was, but had no clue what it was. What might have been!
One thing where that analogy breaks down is that a Honda civic is more highly engineered and a more refined product than a Ferrari. The Ferrari makes all sorts of sacrifices for performance and styling, sacrifices such as manufacturability, cost, and reliability. We tend to forget or underestimate the sheer work that Honda engineers spend making a car that is fuel efficient, crashworthy, long-term reliable, and affordable. A civic certainly isn't as sexy as a Ferrari, but stepping back and thinking about the sheer amount of human effort that went into making such a good machine at such a reasonable (compared to a Ferrari) price is astounding.

I would argue that software would be improved if it was approached in the same engineering fashion as a civic or corolla, what we have now is the engineering effort of a Ferrari with all the warts that entails but released to the mass-market. Ferrari can't invest the engineering effort to release as polished of a product as Honda or Toyota, but that's fine since it's a niche vehicle and the buyers accept the tradeoffs since nobody uses one as a daily commuter anyway. But a small team of software developers can release an under-designed product to market and that software is available nearly instantly worldwide with little limits. Making 1M physical items is far more difficult than having 1M users of a program.
My switch and midrange sony tv (which just turned ten years old, and is still “good enough”) seem like decent counterexamples.
Yes and no. Their 3 cylinder engine that was supposed to be in their 4 person mega car was to be the first product engine with it. That is no longer the case because rich people didn't like the idea of a 3 cylinder engine in their hybrid mega.
As a result they are only producing a V8 hybrid version. Their v8s do not use the free valve.
This stood out to me the very first time I saw Starry Night at MoMa. The paint is so thickly layered, and you can see the individual brush strokes in stark relief.
Anyone remembers Toshiba laptops? Their build quality was top-notch and they were quite durable at the price point they came. Then around 2012-14, they started disappearing from the market, what happened to them?
Muons and positrons are used regularly in industry. Neutrinos have been used to image the inside of the Sun.
Yep, they claim it's a new blood group that was discovered, but then the body of the article seems to imply that this was known for decades. What's notable is there's a new blood test for the group.

Article feels like it was written in a hurry or partially written by AI with poor editing.
mcmaster is the most polished ui/ux you know? To each their own but this is a very hackernews comment - it's very much a site for engineers but I can't agree it's a polished UI or UX.

To me: Sense of hierarchy is off, accessibility is meh, there's an enormity of information per page, there's poor use of color and spacing... it could be worse but I can imagine this site giving my designer friends a seizure.
Shameless plug, but I just launched this a week ago: https://sparkaidating.com/

Its philosophy is different from most AI companion apps (one partner, not many + gamified relationship building instead of instant gratification).

> the judge would need to show

That's funny. This is an unelected supreme court judge-god-king who is being actively protested for unconstitutional censorship, and he laughs at the people protesting him.

It doesn't matter what brazilian law says. He does what he wants. You don't get to appeal because there's no court above him. Even if you somehow appeal anyway, he judges the appeals to his own judgements. I've seen news of him handling accusations against himself.

If I were the US I'd sanction Brazil for illegally stealing millions from US companies via completely arbitrary and illegal "fines". US Trade Representative already sanctions us over the copyright infringement situation, and this is much worse. There's basically no limit to how many dollars this guy can steal from the american economy if the US doesn't put a stop to him. It's not even the first time, and Twitter is not the only victim. Google tried to campaign against the "fake news" laws by committing the grave crime of putting up a link on their web page. He slapped them with an arbitrary hourly fine too until the link was gone. "Abuse of economic power and market position", they called it.

USA is already making some moves. I saw some US politicians call for the cancellation of the passports of these judges, denying them entry to the USA. Today I saw news of one judge's reaction to that: basically threw a temper tantrum and called the actions of the US politicians "unacceptable" as if there was anything he could do about it. Hilarious. I can only hope it escalates further and that it leads to their downfall.
Nice book. But frankly Tikz and pgfplots are better for scientific visualization, unless your plot is too complex (in which case you have to settle for a lower quality plot).
Having seen some of their talks, I do not think they realize the underlying problem and understand its manifestation. They just see that their “fellows” churn out slow software without even understanding how to make things fast due to tradeoffs that society has made on their behalf that left their fellows with no knowledge of performance optimization. They feel a sense of wrongness that things are so different across the aisle, but can not put their finger on it precisely.

The incentives in their industry support performance. They look around confused at the rest of the world with different incentives. And they keep running into people who say: “We can make it fast if it is incentivized” and then do a amateurish job, despite seeming to be professionals, because they lack the institutional knowledge that is commonplace in the games industry. They are amateurs (in this field) due to long-term societal incentives despite having all the other trappings of competence. It is like being Chinese and seeing a regular grown adult being unable to use chopsticks; jarring and bizarre if you lack the context that they do not use chopsticks in their home country.

It also leads to what, from their perspective, are incongruous tradeoffs. They see a 10x speedup that would take a month to implement. The developers say that is a worthy tradeoff, but they do not do it, why? Well, they lack the institutional knowledge. To reinvent all of the knowledge and technologies that would make that 10x speedup take a month would take 5 years assuming they even recognized the opportunity. 5 years for a 10x speedup is not worth it, but 1 month is; it is the researched tech tree that makes the difference and allows worthy tradeoffs to be implemented efficiently. Losing tech and knowledge leads to losing the ability to even make those tradeoffs.
Not to mention I'm skeptical the majority of WPEngine sites are blogs, particularly with prices starting at $240 a year.

Rather they're company marketing sites. That's certainly what I used WPEngine for, and the service was well made, particularly their ability to test WP updates in staging.
Riddle of free speech? Doesn't a Venn diagram of free speech include information and miss-information? I never said free speech does not include miss-information.

What is Information and what is Miss-information?

Example: "Vaccines make people autistic." Is that information or miss-information? If vaccines did make people autistic then anyone who was given a vaccine would be autistic. This means all US military personal are autistic because they must be vaccinated to remain in service. Yet 100% of them are not autistic, nor are all the individuals that received a cold, flu, and COVID vaccines.

What about a politician making the statement, "I know more about the Middle East than anyone else.". Wouldn't know nuances about cultural slang and difference in regional dialects be a requirement to make that statement true? Wouldn't that persona also need to know Arabic and Hebrew with the ability to pick truthful declarations over sarcasm? With more context, that statement was made by a US politician.

Let's re-phrase that statement, "I know more about computers than anyone else.", which defines no one in the world! Even the smartest people that know a lot about computers cannot possibly know everything.

How would you decided if "Vaccines make people autistic.", that a politician is truthful when saying "I know more about the Middle East than anyone else.", and the person next to you saying "I know more about computers than anyone else." are information or miss-information?

To re-phrase my personal statement, I do not respect those that push miss-information.
> everything was so lazy and dull I'm really glad they got dismissed.

The McMansion Hell lady introduced me to the idea of "PR-chitecture." You'll see it everywhere once you're familiar with it, including many other fields of design.
In a YouTube video about the history of OS/2, I learned that ole Microsoft back in the 1990s before their mob tactics were curtailed, used to send suited thugs to Japanese PC manufacturers to chastise them for even offering users the mere option of buying PCs with OS/2 instead of Windows..

Could such practices have stifled the innovation and growth within the Japanese PC industry?

They did have some takes of their own on the PC platform with that unique Japanese flavor, in series like the PC-8800/PC-98, FM Towns, etc.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-8800_series

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-98

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_Towns

Who knows what more they could've done if Windows 95 hadn't smothered everything under the sun? Like the ill-deserved demise of the Commodore Amiga, this seems like a failure of politics than merit.
> Man, I've been there where you wish third party software had some feature (...)

It looks to me that they were already using Traefik, and Traefik does indeed support the feature they wished to have.

Apparently they also got rid of support for healthchecks, which all by itself would be expected to require an extensive justification. But no.

I would love to hear why the people behind this decision felt that Traefik's support for dynamic route configuration wasn't suited to configure routes dynamically.

I would also love to hear the rationale behind the decision to invest their time rolling their own reverse proxy instead of just doing docker run on one of the many production-grade reverse proxies readily available.

I don't know. This has vibes of spending months in a development project to avoid spending hours reading a manual.

I don't see why using AI would get around Midler vs. Ford. If anything, there is even less of an argument to be made in your defense when you use AI to replicate a voice, instead of using another voice actor to replicate the voice.

It could be used for FTL comms if you can figure out how to choose the outcome of a measurement before performing a measurement, which isn't something that I know how to do.
As an early teen I didn't understand enough to be impressed, but I was certainly fascinated for a good few weeks.
I appreciate his pointer to precedent, but the truth is that while precedent is a start, we're going to need to do work with principles beyond precedent. When tech introduces unprecedented capabilities, we will either figure out how to draw boundaries within which it (among other features of society) works for people, not against them, or we'll let it lead us closer to a world in which the strong do what they will and the weak (or those just trying to keep a camry running) suffer what they must.

> Occasionally, it's HTMX+Go (for those who don't like "magic" and also don't like JS).

I don't know about that. HTMX is ultimately a lot of magic javascript hidden away from the devs. That's objectively worse than just knowing how to write a web page "for real".
Ok, be honest: how many hours put into this were during 9-5, and on the boss’ dime?

I hope all of them. :-)
It’s a shame YC no longer lists the top companies by valuation like they did at https://web.archive.org/web/20240305133714/http://www.ycombi.... It made research like Charlie Reese’s much easier.

There’s still a list at https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies, but it doesn’t show valuation and can only be sorted alphabetically or by batch.
> the only difference is that they sell for a fraction of the cost because you're locked in to the single carrier

I mean, that’s honestly kind of a theft deterrent. One that’s distributed on average amongst the set of all stolen phones, but anything that reduces the average expected value of a phone thief is de facto a deterrent.
We're talking about international trade, so trade barriers and foreign policies play a huge role that go beyond simple competition.

Japan had a hell of a time to deal with car exports in the US, SONY still won but the reaction to it was also extremely strong.

A Japanese company had absolutely no chance to go hit the US market and displace companies like SUN, Apple or IBM on the US soil. In particular software IP is a whole lot harder to fight for than manufacturing IP (even if it gets stolen, it's moot if it can't be physically applied. In software land reproduction is a given)

Europe wasn't much an easier target either. We saw that later with docomo failing miserably while having a clearly superior product.

In reverse the US has a long history of opening the Japanese market when they really want to, and forgoing that market isn't critical either, so there's quite an asymmetry.

The only ground Japanese company learned to properly fight has been video games so far.
It may surprise you, but some people like to program computers for reason other than money.

Makes no sense right? Weirdos, all of them!
Wonderful. I can't see how a society that stops believing in individual responsibility is going to keep believing in individual autonomy too. We've been seeing the same cultural shift in technology. SB1047 in California seeks to hold developers liable when other people misuse their AI models. There's also people who want to hold normal developers liable when people get hacked due to bugs in their code. If writing code and sharing it is a form of expression, that means no more freedom of expression. People are even being held liable for expression of beliefs too. It's a slippery slope that leads to not being allowed to do anything the state doesn't tell you to do.
I doubt this. Unlocks can be done by T4 support but legal threats will kick you to a separate system that will not respond to requests that quickly.
> In theory it should, because they do health checking to track status of the upstreams.

I think the PR that pushes this kamal-proxy project explicitly removes supports for healthchecks? So it's unclear.

In theory, a reverse proxy like Traefik supports this feature.

In practice it does too.

So I don't know. It seems there's some rationale that's definitely missing from the whole story. I doubt people haphazardly decide to roll out a custom reverse proxy developed in-house. The reasons laid out in the doc definitely don't seem to be it.
It is like becoming meme famous: is up to you how to monetize it, nobody owes you nothing.

Show HN: Pinnit – Pin notes and notifications in Android notification panel
Pinnit is a freemium app (no ads, one-time payment with a 14-day trial) that allows you to keep a log of your notifications, and pin them or schedule them to act as reminders on Android. It features a beautiful Material 3 design with smooth transitions and motion between screens and states. It also has a customisable color palette for generating Material 3 dynamic themes.

Features

- Create and pin your own notifications
- Manage your notifications with a history log, search & filtering options
- Schedule notifications and add reminders
- Add notes to third-party notifications

Privacy is an important thing when dealing with notifications, so here is the app privacy policy (https://sasikanth.dev/privacy-policy-pinnit/).

TLDR: All notifications are local to the device and nothing ever syncs with any backend or third-party service other than crash reports and billing.

We have more things planned for the app to build, so looking forward to that. Give Pinnit a try and let us know what you think. Thank you :D
My memory is fuzzy, but I recall that some models had very limited hardware acceleration support in the driver stack for things like video codecs, OpenCL, and Vulcan, unless you used the official kernel with the Broadcom blob. I never liked running that due to bloat and the age of the kernel/Debian they ship. All that combined with the performance of the SOC compared to its peers from Rockchip/Mediatek/Samsung and lack of eMMC support pretty much drove me away from Raspberry Pi devices in favor of Radxa and ODROID boards.
Lula rolled out the red carpet for the venezuelan dictator months into his mandate, welcomed him onto our soil with full military honors. Everybody knows he's a friend of Maduro and many other communist dictators. Despite this, the judge involved in the Twitter case used to censor any speech associating him with dictators as "fake news".

If he hasn't recognized the results by now, it's because the situation there must be so bad the political repercussions of doing so will be too great even for him. Notably, he hasn't condemned his dictator buddy either. He's not saying much of anything and letting it play out. His silence on the matter also speaks volumes.
That is easy, got his YouTube channel and listen to any of his vids.

The incentive structure doesn’t encourage it. Nobody gets a promotion for going back and fixing issues; it’s all about new initiatives and boosting metrics with new ideas.
Probably implementation hell. The big idea theoretically works, but when you get into the details the compromises for implementation steal away the gains.

I'm always reminded of the rotary internal combustion engine: in theory there's a whole suite of benefits, in practice they're "interesting" but not that great once practically built.

My argument wasn’t that the well-funded entities were optimizing to reduce training costs, but the opposite: they need creative ways to spend $1B that provide some tangible advantage. But they need operating costs to be low or they lose money and try to somehow make it up on volume.

I would roll data acquisition/cleaning processes into training costs for purposes of this because what else is the data for if not training?

If 4o wasn’t an optimization for model operation costs what was it?

> “The Commission fails to point to specific statutory authorization for an unlocking mandate and would have profound economic consequences, thus raising a major question that would require clear statutory authority from Congress.”

Surely they're right? Seems like a stretch for them to be claiming the authority to make rules about this.
But they should owe you for stealing your likeliness without your awareness to promote their products. This isn’t for satire purposes.
idk, i have a pretty powerful laptop with 16GB VRAM and a 3080ti. when i've played with quantized llama2 and llama3 (with llamacpp), it was kinda underwhelming. inference was slow, the laptop would heat up and the results weren't as good. (is llama3.1 better?)

this was with 4bit quantization and offload of as many layers as possible to the gpu.
Considering place and routing of even synchronous digital logic is at the edge of what we can do computationally I really don't see this happening anytime soon.
