It's not just Africa. There were discussions about withholding community support from China and Pakistan as well. It's really just a question about what part of the mission statement is the most important. Do you promote the Python language in places that don't meet your diversity objectives? That is a reasonable question.

However, one side's failure to engage means that the other viewpoint has won and is now driving everyone else out. Nothing new, just a classic purge of heretics.

Back to my original point: It is bad advice to not engage in the discussions. Unbalanced outcomes end up tearing a community apart.

"The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers."
Ah yes, stumbled over that recently, but the error message is very helpful and it's a quick change.
I did. I cannot recommend this approach - you often gain little for a lot of pain for editing Yaml. Better just use DSL in your backend language and generate the spec.
It's not nonsense, though. It's just a generalization.

Here's another generalization: A car typically weighs between 1 and 3 tons, and typically travels on the highway between at speeds between 50 and 80MPH.

This generalization misses (many!) rather common outliers, and that's OK since it not meant to be particularly precise. That's the way of generalizations: They're generalized.

We are a generally a generation ahead of sheets and excel. You might be able to do some of the things in the older software but it won't be a button press. The ability for you to run data queries (and let the AI do it for you) next to the traditional A1 notation we invented.
That is literally exactly the case. I'm not going to pull fake percentages out of my ass here but it's in the medical literature that a person with ADHD who is medicated and treated correctly has less likelihood by a significant factor of drug abuse.

It's not hypocritical. You seem to have a line of thought you couldn't escape from when writing these replies where the bad guy in this scenario is microdosing and tech Bros.
It's even worse when using points. Amex now uses Expedia on the back end for hotel booking. I made a res for a hotel in Italy and I tried to change it. Amex says call Expedia. Expedia says call the hotel. The hotel says call Expedia. Soooo frustrating. I think Amex travel is going to poop, and that used to be their thing.
Now, let me tell you about microservices... (:

What do you think happened, they refabricated the chips on a smaller process to make room for explosives? How do you make extra room on the component level?
You mean why not implement these things directly in node instead of a separate runtime? There's significant differences between runtimes. Node uses V8 while Bun uses JavascriptCore. Node uses C++ and Bun uses Zig. I'd guess it would be very difficult to land these changes in Node.

But Node now will have some catch up to do. It is already adding support for running Typescript without transpiling it to js first and that's because Bun and Deno provided it first and people saw it was a good idea. Maybe Node will add these things in the future.

I'm not making a deterministic leap I'm leaving out vast amounts of information from my story that are way way more personal. Of course there are more things that I know that don't make this a deterministic leap but I don't care to share them.
Not sure how this is any more "memory-based" than regular RAG, but it seems interesting.

I can't remember where I read this joke, but as a self-proclaimed Cognitive Engineer I think about it every day: "An AI startup's financial evaluation is directly proportional to how many times they can cram 'mind' into their pitch deck!"

There are multiple axes to these things. US liberals are still progressive in that they want to push law and culture into new territory, and republicans are still conservative in that they resist change or want to go backwards.

However, it is pretty clear to me that liberals are currently the dominant force in setting and policing culture and behavior. I think this is the the change you are thinking of between the later 1900's and 2000 onwards.
In terms of single-incident, I believe hydro takes the lead due to the Banqiao Dam failure (floods over 12,000 square kilometers killing ~30k directly then ~100k more from water contamination and famine). But even that's still dwarfed by the more gradual impact of climate change on the planet from fossil fuels.
You are not wrong, but this is far from obvious for most people. Most companies have strong PR maintaining appearances for people without a lot of experience. So while this is an independent claim I think it’s still to remind that.
Apropos of nothing in particular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've found Simon Willison's site / blog super valuable and helpful in learning - everything from lots of hacks to factoids, to technical tidbits about bleeding edge tech (like llm), and more.

Thank you, Sir
Nuclear plants often operate at 90%+ capacity factors, while solar can range from 10-25% depending on location. So you might need 4-9 times more solar capacity to match total energy output.
So depending on the region, you might need 4-9 gigawatts of solar capacity with a higher amount of battery storage to match 1 GW nuclear output. This is because you need to account for winter vs summer, for bad weather etc. Maybe it will take a lot more space and cost more to build than restarting a nuclear plant for 1.6 billion.

Show HN: Inngest 1.0 – Open-source durable workflows on every platform
Hi HN! I’m Tony, one of the co-founders of Inngest (https://inngest.com/)

Inngest is an open-source durable workflow platform that works on any cloud. Durable workflows are stateful, long running step functions written in code, which automatically retry on failure. It abstracts everything about queues, event streams and state for you, letting you focus on code. Some examples of uses: managing stateful AI chained step functions; managing search/rag indexes and data pipelines; integrations and webhooks; billing and payment flows.

Technical details: unlike other solutions, we put lots of effort into designing our SDK’s step.run APIs to make them extremely easy to use — developer experience is the most important thing for us.

We had to design and build our own queueing system to work with multi-tenancy, batching, and debouncing, and we’re iterating on this as we move to FoundationDB. It’s largely all Go in the backend, with a bunch of caching, clickhouse, event streams, and coordination on our behalf. Workers are shared nothing, and run based off of the queue and execution state.

We did a post last year as we iterated on our TS SDK. The product has changed a lot since then and wanted to show the community what’s changed as we reach 1.0:

* Golang, Java, and Python SDKs with cross-language function invocation (across clouds, too)

* Multi-tenant aware flow control (concurrency, throttling, debounce)

* Batching, grouping many events into a single function call

* Much improved dashboard, with tracing and metrics built in

* Advanced recovery tools like function replay, temporary pausing, bulk cancellation (with optional expressions). No more dead letter queues!

* Branch deploys built in, with staging env support out of the box

* Full local testing with production parity

There's a ton on the roadmap, with more launching next week. We’re hiring systems & infra engineers, too — it’s a fun job with lots of challenges!

Wanted to say thank you to the HN community for feedback so far! Happy Friday :)
The fact that clients write directly into the database and that it's widely encouraged.

There are security rules in Firebase to prevent this, but bolt-on security models that the user has to explicitly enable haven't shown to work.
No, that's not what I wrote. In theory it's possible to build a power plant on site as part of a larger industrial facility as long as there's a reliable energy source (i.e. something that still works when the sun isn't shining). But that usually won't be cost effective compared to pulling power from a stable grid.
"She did not dumb things down but broke them down, creating entry points for American cooks in their home kitchens"

This is an important lesson for educators, communicators, and colleagues.

Too many people think that "accessible" and "approachable" or "simple" is "dumb" or "stupid", and that things have to be hard and complex to be good or smart.
Makes sense. Given what I have seen of geohot's personality, I would bet dollars to donuts that he'd post a link to it in such an outcome
best way to compromise the world is to become a linux maintainer. May take a couple of years but if you are state-sponsored, you (with the help of your team) can contribute so many great patches you'll become respected within a year, take control of a subsystem in a few.
My reactive thought is usually 'warning: power trips ahead'
Linux huge advantage: It gives you huge flexiblity and very sharp knifes.

Linux drawback: Well, see above.

It takes getting used to if. As I keep joking - nuking your first production system is a bit of a rite of passage as a linux admin. My first was a "mv $WORKSPACE/* $WORKSPACE/bin". I also once caused a ridiculous mess by screwing up NTP. It doesn't count 100% imo, but one of our juniors recently wanted to reset a DB on a newly installed system and did a "rm -rf /var /lib/foobar" to delete the system state. Another pretty green colleague wanted to cleanup a bunch of db dumps and ran "rm -rf /var/lib/barqux/*". It certainly removed the database dumps, and the database too.

Both are now educated in the arts of either `find -delete`, `xargs -p`, as well as generating scripts full of individual `rm` or other calls for review. Some simple "for f in bla*; do echo 'mv $f ${f##blub#blob}' >> script; done" is a powerful technique. And I don't think they will forget this anytime soon, without anyone getting angry or anything.

I'm mostly this chill about it because we have enough redundancy, automation and backups to let them run free and wild like this so they can learn quickly. Oh and yeah, they also learned how to reinit and/or rebuild database nodes, hah.
I personally could tolerate it if Microsoft’s “Ai” is down for a few hours or days per year. Give clippy a break.
Well, Russia isn't a party to the Ottawa Treaty. Ukraine hasn't formally withdrawn yet, but has hinted that they consider adherence impractical.

Stepping back though, there are literally millions of mines hidden in Ukraine, creating a vastly greater danger for civilians. Legal or not, for the most part noone cares.

Why are we here scrutinizing Israel for a form of booby-trapping which is vastly smaller in scale, much easier to clean up (figuring out which devices are compromised vs demining 174,000 km^2), and more targeted?
AMD has some tools for debugging performance related issues called Radeon GPU Profiler/Analyzer and gfxreconstruct (mainly just a replay tool, but can help when comparing across cards), but for debugging shaders running incorrectly on our hardware we use and support both render doc and Microsoft PIX.
The GitHub security alert digest[1] is a real thing. It's a feature of GitHub where they report security vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies. For example, if you use python and you have specified requests library in your requirements.txt, GitHub will send you emails about disclosed vulnerabilities in that library, urging you to upgrade to a higher version where it's fixed.

Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here for the Food: Food + Heat = Cooking" is a fun intro too.
I have long wanted to build an engine that let's you book a vacation on points. You connect all the points programs you have and it shows you how to leverage them to get the best deals on flights and hotels. The trick here is that you can transfer points from credit cards to some airlines and hotels, and sometimes the points are worth more when transferred. But, integrating with all these systems is the problem, and it's a big problem. Especially since there is no way any of the players want this to happen. Maybe it could be built as a browser plugin?
I prefer to look at the world in more colours than black and white though. This weird obsession with side A or side B is very boring, actually pretty tiring.

The Rs are not counter-culture, they are the exactly same as conservatives always have been: people who deeply believe there's a natural hierarchy to the world, where straying outside of your expected spot in the natural order of things is wrong.

Old Republicans now support the Democratic party because the Republicans ceased to be, the party has the same name but has slid further into the belief of a natural order, a party where representatives use violent rhetoric to repulse change instead of policies.

I fully believe you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, and I'm not even American...
I'm sure it was marked up still, but the best and last pillow I've ever bought is buckwheat hulls. Basically a fancy sack of grain, but I'd guess procurement was more costly than filler plastic fabrics/foams. It was an immediate cure for neck pain from side sleeping and it's quite cool, too. For me, anything stuffed with fabric is going to be a waste of money anymore.

An excellent slashvertisement for Virus Total. Wrapped in an important cautionary tale about how GitHub issues can be manipulated to try to spread malware.
Well, not coal plants but emissions. I guess those nymbis would also be against having all that pollution concentrated in their back yard.

My point is that it is not insane. Maybe selfish. Not willing to have risks with potential catastrophic results near your home is the most normal thing.

And with nuclear, the probability is very low, as with planes. Yet it happens. All the time. Our generation went through three once in a lifetime crisis in the last two decades.
At the end of the day you're either excluding people who feel uncomfortable attending due to legal risk, or locals who maybe can't easily travel long distances.

The only hole in this theory is that solar currently doesn’t help with car and automobile usage.
When I was around 20, I lived exclusively on takeout. And not because I couldn't cook, I am and was a solid cook, it's that cooking for one is not that economical (specifically time-wise) and I could just eat places that would allow me to eat a days worth of food in one sitting, think lots of Indian buffets, which made feeding myself on takeout pretty cost effective.

Before that, I lived on takeout because I worked in a restaurant and it was free to take home the food that was going in the trash at the end of the night.

As a maintainer of CuPy and also as a user of several GPU-powered Python libraries, I empathize with the frustrations and difficulties here. Indeed, one thing CuPy values is to make the installation step as easy and universal as possible. We strive to keep the binary package footprint small (currently less than 100 MiB), keep dependencies to a minimum, support wide variety of platforms including Windows and aarch64, and do not require a specific CUDA Toolkit version.

If anyone reading this message has encountered a roadblock while installing CuPy, please reach out. I'd be glad to help you.

Oh yeah that's way beyond me! I might do a mini to micro mod first, that seems relatively quite easy

The common headphone jack issue is that one of the pins comes loose very easily but that's a very simple fix of adding some extra solder. Beyond that the audio port gradually gets looser to the point headphones will very easily fall out; I think if you just never remove the headphones this will be much less likely to happen.

The main failures I've seen on eBay are:
- dead battery (these are often in amazing condition otherwise because they were bought and hardly used)
- loose audio jack (simple solder fix but may have the looseness issues)
- broken membrane buttons (probably not very fixable?)
- faded screen (probably has lots of other issues but generally usable)

This is exactly what DKIM means, and this is why it has wide adoption, while S/MIME and PGP-signed mail remain relegated to niche uses.

The entire purpose of DKIM is not to prove that the individual behind john.smith@gmail.com sent the message, but that a legitimate server owned and operated by the entity behind gmail.com sent the message. It's mostly there to reduce spam and phishing, not to ensure end-to-end communication integrity.

This has nothing to do with the particular companies involved nor their particular trustworthiness.
I was going to disagree with you, because most kiwis have no idea how to write the special o (myself included), so they’d end up typing toreo.nz instead.

During COVID when nobody was flying fares dropped.

But today fares are the lowest they've been in the history of aviation, except for during COVID which should never be factored into trends.

Inflation-adjusted averages for fares, both overall and on specific routes, for the last 30 years are here: https://www.bts.gov/air-fares

Even with fees and taxes airfare is the lowest it's ever been.

Internationally the difference is even greater than the halving of US domestic ticket prices over the last 30 years.

The tricks no longer work because the bottom has been reached and there are no more pennies to pinch.

If one buys a ticket today, right now, for next month one can fly from DC to LA for $98-- round trip. Then they will complain about paying $30 for a bag....

I can fly first class from New York to Frankfurt for less than what an economy class ticket cost when I was visiting my Oma in the 80s and 90s and that's NOT adjusted for inflation.
