not really? its a question about the underlying space. but yes, consistent hashing does have an answer for this, which is if you can agree on a metric for business, and you have a a way of communicating occupancy (i.e. through a membership protocol), then you can adjust your number relative number of replicas to move some load.

within reason, if you have an object that takes up half the storage on a node, then you can end up moving it around quite a bit for getting down to hosting only the replica that has that object, and even then all the occupants of that bucket might be more than you can hold.

but CH is such a lovely notion, because it gives you those kinds of tools. like the fact that it not just provides an object-server mapping, but actually an ordered list of servers.

Actually no, historical data is the best indicator of future probability.
I think it will just emphasise different skills and empower creative fields which use art but are not art per se. If you're a movie director, you can storyboard your ideas easily, and even get some animation clips. If you're an artist with a distinct personal style, you're in a much better position too. And if you're a beginner who is just starting, you can focus on learning these skills instead of technical proficiency.
Another new (open source!) tool to check out in this space is https://dmno.dev

It's a bit different than most of the other tools listed here, in that it is designed to generally solve the papercuts of dealing with config (both sensitive and not), and is not coupled to storing your sensitive config in a specific platform (paid or otherwise).

You define a simple schema for all of your config, and you get validations, built-in documentation, full type safety, and the ability to compose config together in any way you choose. You can also easily share config across a monorepo (if you are using one).

Additionally, our drop-in integrations (node, vite, nextjs, astro, remix, more on the way) go a bit deeper and do things like help you detect and stop leaked secrets, redact secrets in logs, and deal with the footguns of boot vs build time config in hybrid rendering environments.

As for storing/syncing sensitive data, we currently have 2 plugins but more are in the works and will be guided by user demand. The first lets you store your secrets encrypted within your repo (like dotenvx, git-crypt, etc), and the second lets you sync with 1password. Personally we think the 1password plugin makes sense for a lot of teams, since they are probably already using it. You can wire up individual items to your schema, or pull from dotenv style text blobs. You can (and should!) segment items into multiple vaults, and use multiple service accounts to access them. You can even mix and match plugins to pull secrets from multiple services.

(see https://dmno.dev/docs/plugins/encrypted-vault/
+ https://dmno.dev/docs/plugins/1password/)

In the future, we'll have deeper support for things like key rotation and single-use keys, k8s, way more backends, etc. It's all open source, so come and tell us what you need (or even help us build it) and we'll make it happen!

If it's not obvious already, I am the creator :)

> uncovering potential bugs that could compromise even these hardened environments

This seems to be a sensationalized statement. Apart from "trusting a black box" they didn't actually indicate an actual weakness, stating side-channel attacks as the obvious attack vector.
Wow, you mentioned Turbo Vision, OWL etc.. what a blast from the past! had fun developing applications using them

3 of these require significant training or at least licensing and the last one is banned in the majority of western nations.

I'm with you that personal responsibility and freedom should be the norm, but active predators (Drug dealers, bookies, social media companies) should probably have limits put on what they're allowed to do.

Like is often the case with these things, it will continue being approached until it's essentially a solved problem.

On the front page right now is the 10-year-old xkcd comic about how determining if a photo is of a bird takes a team of researchers. This is now trivial.

Cars driving themselves are doing better than they were 3 years ago. Three years from now they will be better still. I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know who will get there first, but I will bet you that the people who are currently in their 50s will never have to give up driving, because by the time they are too old to drive, self-driving will be good enough for them to use.

There were tons of red flags that were completely set aside.

The largest are probably mobile betting and allowing for instant credit card deposits.

There is also the fantasy of being able to win money but the reality that if you actually win money in a consistent fashion, you will be either kicked-off or your action will be severely crippled.

I'd like to think the emerging prediction markets, like Polymarket, are much fairer systems, especially for winning players, and would be much better than sports books like DraftKings, FanDuel, etc.
Ilya may not be the only founder. Sam was coordinating it, Elon provided vital capital (and also access to Ilya).

But out of the co-founders, especially if we believe Elon's and Hinton's description of him, he may have been the one that mattered most for their scientific achievements.
My wife and I are about to have dinner. We have not invited Elon Musk. I apologise in advance.
I actually used the service in question during that time frame and did not feel deceived by their advertising. In fact, I felt good enough about the experience that I threw them a few bucks after the fact to compensate them for some of the value that they gave me.

You read an article about it and 7 years later and are convinced they are crooks.

All of that is 100% true and like you said we could choose to allocate resources in a way to certainly fix the hunger problem and the housing shortage but we actively chose not to. In my opinion it's because here in the US our politicians have been bought by capital and largely represent the interests of capital owners. If your fed and have a roof over your head you're way less desperate and ultimately less likely to have to take a job that pay scraps. A large number of Walmart employees are on welfare for example. We, the people are effectively paying for Walmart employees so the billionaires can have even more money.
I wonder how much money was in politics in 1969.

I have the cynical view that the government gives contracts not to the lowest bidder (that would be generous), but rather, whoever is going to give the greatest kickback to the re-election campaigns of the people deciding who to give a contract to.

Government isn't incompetent, it's corrupt.
It's not baffling at all. It's unprecedented and it's hugely beneficial to our species.

The anti-AI stance is what is baffling to me. The path trotten is what got us here and obviously nobody could have paid people upfront for the wild experimentation that was necessary. The only alternative is not having done it.

Given the path it has put as in, people either are insanely cruel or just completely detached from reality when it comes to what is necessary to do entirely new things.
I’m the same with earbuds, they work their way out constantly. Probably an ear shape thing or something, otherwise I can’t understand why so many like them.

Here’s the set of bone conduction headphones I got, it’s the hanging kind. The brand is “BAICLUD”, just your typical Chinese brand that may or may not disappear in a month: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3LT2Q28

They are supposedly waterproof, so they may or may not do well with oil. In my case, they clean off easy and don’t seem prone to collecting grime/dust. I’ve no idea if there is a barrier under the physical buttons.

So far working well, though one thing I’ve found is that if my phone is in my back pocket and I crouch down or bend over, my body seems to interfere with the Bluetooth signal, sometimes interrupting it. No idea how normal that is with Bluetooth.

The sound will be bit different than regular headphones, but for me it’s not an important difference. I basically listen to Doom and podcasts.

So far I’d be perfectly happy buying them again.

I think an advancement to this style of headphones would be some way to adjust the length and tension of the connection band.
I think multitasking is the mental trap. People seem to do better reasoning about unitasker tools.
It's even worse than this: there is no evidence that FSD is safer on highways due to the extremely low number of bad events there.

It would take literally hundreds of millions of miles driven on highways to get statistical significance.

This is also why L3 is going to be much harder than people think.
Here is a wild idea:

Reshape the entire industry to be a decentralized/house-edge-free form, where any one player has a net 0% gain/loss outcome over time. Regulate what bets can be placed and their payouts so that winners win less amounts and losers lose less amounts (i.e. you don't get wiped out).

It will feel like gambling, but overtime is no different than coin flipping for lunch money with a coworker every day. Essentially math away the "house always wins" part.
> Maybe in the future, when more people start using the plural "octopi", it will be correct.

The future is now. "Octopi" is considered the correct plural by a significant plurality of US adults, and a plurality of all age groups.

Tools where they allow you to squash merge tend to be fairly incompatible with stack diff workflows generally.

It's tricky to review individual commits on Github and Gitlab and they don't even allow you to leave comments on the commit messages.

In areas where people do review individual commits they tend to use tools that support that workflow. Git uses email patches where each commit is sent as a separate email. Tools like Gerrit do code review directly on a commit by commit basis and the usual strategy to get it into trunk is to either "fast forward" (advance the HEAD of the trunk branch to that commit) or to cherry-pick it.
> Why named named arguments test( a:4, b:3) instead of test(.a=4, b.=3);

Why do you consider the second one better than the first (a:4, b:3)?
The state of sports gambling in the UK is now such that Sky Sports (used to be a cable/satellite TV station catering purely to sports) is now basically just a series of gambling adverts with some sport thrown in to keep the punters hooked. They even launched a Sky Bet betting company which seems to have completely overtaken the TV channels - every sport is riddled with Sky Bet adverts and sponsorship. The biggest irony is that professional sportsmen (it's always men) keep getting bans for gambling on their own sport, and yet we somehow expect extremely rich young men in a "banter" culture to ignore the fact that every week they pull on a shirt with multiple gambling sponsors on it and then play in a stadium with endless gambling ads scrolling around the LED boards before being interviewed afterwards standing in front of a wall of gambling sponsors by a man with Sky Bet written on his microphone.
I think GP is saying that you didn't need to focus on the negativity (which is in itself negativity), just say the substantive thing that you wanted to say without editorializing about negativity. Your complaint (negativity) about negativity might be over-done, and anyways not useful. We can all shake our own heads at others' possibly-unnecessary negativity without having to be calling it out all the time. Meta arguments are not always useful.

Besides, consider this negative comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41653797

is it one of the negative comments you didn't like? It seems like a possibly-useful negative comment -- "it didn't work for me because ..." is useful unless it was really a matter of undiagnosed PEBKAC. Would you rather than comment not have been posted? Surely not.

IMO it is ironic the EU has forced Meta to take leadership in educating the public on the significance of "privacy," but not in the way the EU wanted. "Privacy" means two different things: (1) censoring sensitive personal life info from the public, versus (2) limiting government power. Who will invent the words to distinguish the two, I don't know, but it will turn "privacy ethos" into "X ethos" and "Y ethos," and Apple will sort it all out.
>If you operate in the confines of the law that's all that matters.

This is uh.. Yeah. This is what I meant by having no moral or ethical qualms.

There are things that I find immoral which are not illegal. I do not do those things, even though legally I could.

These are all fairly strongly regulated. Did you choose bad examples on purpose?
Kia charges more than that IIRC and has none of those notifications, which would actually be useful (e.g. window open).
You could have actually paid attention to what she said instead of taking the MAGA approach where you only hear what you want to hear and jettison everything else. Her plan for grocery price controls was about emergency situations to prevent gouging. Every single state in the union which has political representation that YOU like already has such laws in place, they just aren't enforced unless there's political theater to be made.

The simple fact of the matter is that vendors will sell their product anyway. It takes time to bring product to the market and most food is highly perishable. To the extent that the US subsidizes agriculture, there's absolutely no excuse for gouging during emergencies.
I have friends who are extremely smart, but they find gambling addictive and lose control of themselves in a Casio.

You can't have a correct vision of Italian music (staying only on that subsubsubcategory) of the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s like that, at very best you'd end up ignoring significant artists and whole genres.

I had a coworker who wanted a BMW more than anything. Typical young Indian male aspiration of that era (everyone had a BMW as their wallpaper).

He got the money together to buy one. Or thought he did. Forgot about insurance, being a young male and little driving history. Doubled his payments.

Also he was a terrible driver. The expensive thing about BMWs is not the car it’s repairs. Which is also why the insurance is so high. He wrecked that thing three times. He probably could have gotten his family into a better house for the amount of money he burned on that car. So foolish.

Customers live out this sort of drama all the time. They need a good used car but they want something that’ll bankrupt them because they have an image in their head. Either a dream or a status symbol.

Gordon Ramsay did a whole TV series about restaurateurs with the same mental block. They want to be successful but they don’t want to pay their dues and pretend instead.

I totally agree. The comics is right - it's Munroe after all, but it's the analysis of the blog author that I am divergent with.

My theory is eventually every ticket tracking system converges to the same bloated thing which is a completely customizable slow mess because every company and every team within every company wants something slightly different. The developer adds all these features and then the team running the product at each company customizes it to meet all their internal feature requests.

ServiceNow, Jira, you name it. Under the hood they are just a database but the customizable monstrosity of fields and forms rules and reports and workflows on top makes them all eventually suck. Heck, this is probably why SAP and PeopleSoft suck too.
I hold the FTC in higher regard than I do your personal experience when it comes to this matter.
Any reporting on the impact this is having on lower level employees? My understanding is they are all sticking around for their shares to vest (or RSU's I guess).

Obesity is a lifestyle issue bc people have to work multiple jobs and don't have time to cook. They have long commutes and don't have time to cook. Both parents have to work and don't have energy after work to cook. The grab and go food you can get on the road or even at restaurants in trash. In France if bread is machine made rather than by hand it has to be marked as such. There has to be some regulations we could put in place here to better the situation but I agree that as individuals we can't do much but why do you have to act alone? Wouldn't that just make the first problem to solve getting a group together before you can solve subsequent problems?
The ship is sinking, and we're swimming towards the iceberg.
It's a risk/reward issue. By analogy, I am perfectly capable of filling out an IRS 1040 form, so why pay a CPA? Because the CPA knows what things can be classified as business expenses. They have first-hand knowledge of which items have passed audits and which the IRS dismissed as farfetched. You're paying for someone who has the insider knowledge to navigate a minefield of non-obvious questions.

Or for a technical analogy, I'm capable of learning any programming language you can throw at me. However, a business who wants to hire someone is going to prefer someone with experience in that language's entire ecosystem. It's not enough to know the syntax. That's the easy part. The harder part is knowing which parts to reference at a given time, which modules experienced devs would choose to solve a specific problem, etc.

Well, same here. I'm wholly capable of reading and understanding the words of a contract or a summons or a lawsuit. What I don't know is the significance of specific phrases in those things, or what I'm allowed to use as evidence on my own behalf, or which issues I might raise that a judge would dismiss as something learned in the first semester of law school. And that's why I'd pay a lawyer to address legal issues for me.
I don't understand why there couldn't have been a middle ground where we legalized it but restricted the advertising so that it wouldn't be shoved down our throats so aggressively at all times whiched has ruined sports altogether.

Isn't it exactly the opposite of how you describe it?

> That's really why "miles" is a poor measure. It implies going faster is safer.

A mile is a mile no matter how fast you drive. It means that in a 13mi trip statistically you will have to intervene once regardless of the speed.

> It would be better to list intervention per hour

And this means that if you have a 13mi trip you'll just floor it to reduce the time, and thus the number of interventions per time (hour).

I agree with mentioning road type and other conditions, like weather. You want to know if the system is significantly worse in snow or fog.
> It's unprecedented and it's hugely beneficial to our species.

"Hugely beneficial" is a stretch at this point. It has the potential to be hugely beneficial, sure, but it also has the potential to be ruinous.

We're already seeing GenAI being used to create disinformation at scale. That alone makes the potential for this being a net-negative very high.

Perhaps the biggest “needs citation” statement of our time.
The site only requests read access to your email, as the login flow message _actually_ shows.

The "act on your behalf" statement is GitHub's standard message for all GitHub apps, regardless of whether they actually ask to be granted any permissions that would let them perform such actions. There's a "learn more" link right at that statement, that would've explained pretty much exactly this. I find it curious that you bothered to venture into docs and link them, but did not bother to click _that_ one to understand what's actually going on.

It says, i.a.: "The GitHub App can only do things that both you and the app have permission to do.". Since the site only asks for read access to your email address, it cannot actually do anything else. As simple as that.
so how can we put pressure on the people running this country to start fixing root problems?
