I can't find the actual text either, but boy, "squatters of the broken records of ideological mantras" rubs me the wrong way.

I hear it all the time, from cranks who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. They first spew gibberish, then vitriol that people won't devote time to translating the gibberish. And they certainly won't listen, with the insuperable defense that any explanation from the scientific orthodoxy means you're part of the cabal.

Yeah, there is a hell of a lot wrong with publishing. But it's not a "Ponzi scheme" because ultimately progress does get made. There is an underlying value that a Ponzi scheme lacks by definition.

And we can't fix the real problems without a serious statement of the problem. Science is fundamentally hard. There are a lot of people doing a lot of work and nobody has time for more than a miniscule fraction. Keeping up is impossible, even when everyone is working in good faith, which not everyone is.

Don't trivialize the problem by saying "the real solution is to listen to me and ignore everyone else".

You do not need to know how `useState` works to understand how to use it to write a React application, it is fairly intuitive to understand how to apply the pattern.

If I look at your library, it seems to me like it requires a much more complex mental model to begin to use.

Of course, it is better in theory for a developer to thoroughly understand the details of their framework, but empirically, React has been very successful in allowing people to build relatively sophisticated applications while understanding very little of the underlying model.
A mis-assessment there might be far less consequential and those also do not require a medical diagnosis before making a decision where to go.
Yes. My concern is the template compilation will get really slow or the custom IDE integration will get out of date and break.

This feels like a "yes, and" thing, where the most important use of effort is to reduce production (and we're nowhere close yet), but at some point we'll need to also do capture to deal with production that is truly unavoidable, and, if we're dreaming, to achieve net negative production, for the purpose of returning to preindustrial levels.

Yeah, I agree. It's not the place of a social media platform to judge. There's no such thing as unbiased, neutral fact checkers. Readers will have to judge the truth of it for themselves.

I was trying to say that it shouldn't matter if the information came from mainstream news source, a hacker, enemy state or whoever else. My understanding is that meta blocked the dossier solely on the basis of where they believe the information originated.

We used to call them monitors [1], but a dumb TV at TV prices would be very appealing. Even more so because, with the smaller board brains, it might have more space for different inputs.

For incremental computation, Feldera is just way more powerful and general. It can evaluate arbitrarily sophisticated SQL programs incrementally (tables and deeply nested layers of views). For example, it can do rolling aggregates over joins, handle late and out-of-order arrivals, can compute over infinite streams with finite state (via automatic garbage collection), and it's strongly consistent. Clickhouse's materialized views are much simpler and restricted in comparison.

That said, we are /not/ a replacement ever for Clickhouse or any other historical warehouse. In fact, we pair best with one of them. Have data flow through or teed into Feldera to maintain sophisticated standing queries -- maintain historical data in your warhehouse.
Patients have time to shop for most healthcare services. Only a small fraction of healthcare spending is for emergencies. The highest cost stuff is mostly elective procedures. If you need a colonoscopy or hip replacement then you have time to shop around.

Socialized healthcare has its advantages and is probably more cost effective on average. But we also see affluent Canadians coming to the USA as medical tourists and paying cash for MRI scans in order to avoid the queues back home.
Also way more expensive than TVs.

Shouldn't be that hard to build a replacement board for popular sets. There are replacement electronics for analog CRT-based TVs.

Ask HN: Feedback on fractional real estate ownership for digital nomads
A couple days ago I posted a comment about fractional real estate ownership as a digital nomad. It got some traction and since this is an area I’m passionate about, I wanted to see if I can make it real.

The idea:

Since I started nomading, the biggest problem has been finding a place to stay. Airbnbs are so expensive, I have to go on facebook or local real estate websites and negotiate directly with landlords. While an airbnb will cost $2000+/m, this method lets me pay around $500 for example, in Greece. But this is such a hassle every time, and makes digital nomadding a challenge when you have to do it every time you need to move.

The real estate in many of the countries we visit is cheap and long term rents are cheap, they shouldn’t cost so much. People like me, who are “slow nomaders” spending usually 3 months in a place, are under served in terms of options.

What I want to do to address this is allow people to own fractional shares in apartments. For example, if an apartment costs $150,000, it can be divided into four pieces for $45,000. This would grant you exclusive right to the apartment for the 90 days you purchased. There would also be permanent storage chests for each owner, so you could keep some clothes and things permanently year round. There would also be a group chat with the other owners, so you could coordinate stuff, like maybe trade time.

Unlike a timeshare, which are big scams because they charge obscenely high “maintenance fees,” when you buy the property share, the contract is guaranteed that you won’t pay more than reasonable, actual costs plus a fixed profit %. The company can make a fair profit without being a scam like a timeshare.

With a service like this, you would be able to own shares in properties across the world and build a “circuit” for yourself. This is the true meaning of the word nomad: real nomadic cultures go around the same places, they aren’t always going to new places. This fills the paradoxical human need for familiarity but also variety.

It would let you build real relationships with the locals in your favorite places, because they know they will see you again. Which is another problem nomads face currently.

But If you did want to change or cash out your position, we would operate a market to sell or trade your shares with others, and since it would be an internal company transfer it would be much simpler than a fullfat international real estate transaction.

If this is something you’re interested in, please fill out the form with some information I need to know about market demand for this, and if there is sufficient demand I will start this company.

Thank you!
I’ve never seen property tax on a car. What states have that? And EV’s don’t typically pay a fuel tax, which wouldn’t be a property tax anyway. Registration/tag is certainly not a property tax.

There’s a difference between taxing ownership of a property and taxing activities you use the property for. The latter includes things like fishing licenses, but nobody would say there’s a property tax on fishing rods.

That’s hyperbolic. I can think of several things that would be worse and far more impactful. For example: deleting the repo, changing the license, and going to work for Unity.

Incredible resource. The graphics modes of the ][ are so wacky and require real creativity and ingenuity to work around. I have tremendous respect for anyone who can program a working graphical interface under those constraints.
So much negativity here. It’s interesting to see new technical possibilities. Congratulations to the team that made this.
I think of efficiency as one example where naive economic thinking has poisoned common sense. Economists view inefficiency as a problem. Because a healthy economy is efficient, therefore inefficiency is unhealthy. Any inefficient market is a "market failure". Efficiency is also the primary way a manager can add value. But the problem is, efficiency assumes existence of metrics, and indeed is counter productive if your metrics are wrong.
Airline tickets are already cost sensitive, it doesn't follow that people can pay more individually just because the societal benefit is very high.
Using HTML and CSS to make web interfaces without JavaScript is like using concrete to make garden gnomes without rebar, while the rest of the adult world is more concerned with using pre-stressed concrete with rebar to make skyscrapers and superhighways. Sure it's a marginal whimsical decorative use case, but not an important or interesting one.

Most people who think turning off JavaScript is an important use case are only inflicting it upon themselves (and aggressively evangelizing that other people do it too) as performative luddites, to feed their martyr complex, so they have something to whine and complain about how the web is so unfair and out to get to them, and have exactly zero customers or products to support.

How do you read from a file like that in SQL? I know that this is in "theory" possible but I've never had a legitimate use case where I've needed to do file I/O from my ORM, lol.

This is the ChatGPT answer that I was able to derive:

> You can read from `/dev/urandom` in a PostgreSQL query using `plperlu`, which allows executing unsafe Perl code.
> Create a function to read random bytes:

CREATE EXTENSION plperlu;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_random_bytes(num_bytes int)
RETURNS bytea
LANGUAGE plperlu
AS $$
my $num_bytes = $_[0];
open my $urandom, '<', '/dev/urandom' or die "Cannot open /dev/urandom: $!";
read $urandom, my $bytes, $num_bytes;
close $urandom;
return $bytes;
$$;

SELECT get_random_bytes(16);
If you pin it, you may as well use self signed cert, with whatever expiration date you want. It has nothing to do with what browsers or popular CAs do - you may be the CA in this case. Not saying this is a good idea, just that it's the same idea as before (vide their "why now" argument and shortening rotation times).

Is pinning to certs signed by CAs you don't control, but that are public and trusted, beneficial over using self signed ones? I guess you won't (easily) land in CT log. Anything else?
I am not an expert in these things, but the discussion here reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41182917
The problem with this is he led teams that built systems that proved his point.
Shouldn't be hard to honeypot your TV into doing that - just set up a network and check if the TV connects to it, or set up sniffing at the gateway and see if there's any traffic that seems unaccounted for (as in not coming from your set-top box and suspiciously large for the periodic software update checks).

> but every token generated by a 100B model is going to take minimally 100B FLOPS

Drop the S, I think. There’s no time dimension.

And FLOP is a generalized capability meaning you can do any operation. Hardware optimizations for ML can deliver the same 100B computations faster and cheaper by not being completely generalized. Same way ray tracing acceleration works: it does not use the same amount of compute as ray tracing in general CPU’s.
Web components are lacking some basic functionality that makes using them in something complex difficult.

For example, one of the deal breakers we faced was the inability to unload and reload a web component. Once you load a web component you’re stuck with it until you refresh the browser.

You cannot have an SPA with one page loading 1 version of the web component and another loading another version without some ugly namespace mangling.

If you want his view on Actors then the conversation with Joe Armstrong is enlightening.

The main common ground they share is that CSP becomes too synchronized and particular, making it too difficult to use for systems in the large.
CMS does enforce minimum clinical quality standards on hospitals (at least those that accept Medicare). The problems in areas without meaningful competition tend to be more around shortages of qualified practitioners, high prices, and abusive billing policies.
I have a question. How does the client learn about certificate update?

I understand the "leaf" or "domain" update is done when the request is made, and that I as the end user don't need to do anything.

However if an intermediate certificate is updated, do I now need to update the app or client (OS/browser etc)?

Because I can sure see it in Google's interest to ensure clients only use the latest browsers, OS'. I suppose it becomes another "control" point.

If your client cannot resolve a domain (outdated hardware/software) you're out of luck.

If Google pushes changes to, for example, data collection within Chrome, they're going to want all users to update ASAP (e.g manifest V3, break older versions of chrome by rotating certificates).
Cool in theory, but I can’t imagine describing anything other than the most basic CAD designs verbally. Text is not a good medium for designs beyond the most basic shapes and modifications.

Thanks for the response and clarifications!

I think this scenario would illustrate it.

Make a table with one column, x, and insert into it rows with values 1-5, and then 8-20.

Then query it using more or less `SELECT x FROM (SELECT x FROM xs LIMIT 15 ORDER BY x) LIMIT 10`, and then insert 6 into the table. Output should be 1-6, 8-11. Of course as long as the limits aren't merged together during optimisation, that would make the test-case moot.

Good luck with your product!
What’s interesting to me is that it loses 4% efficiency when bent. Like, I get why there’s some loss because of parasitic capacitance/inductance etc but 4% seems like… not very much?
Yeah, I’ve hit those OOM issues with vitest before too. Mitata’s time budget + sample approach sounds like a solid way to keep things simple while avoiding those long GC pauses. Excited to give it a try on my own benchmarks!
> The research team found Flex-RV could run as fast as 60 kilohertz while consuming less than 6 milliwatts of power.

They don’t give all details, but I think it’s safe to say there’s work to do w.r.t. performance/Watt, probably more so given that the CPU seems to be bit serial (https://github.com/olofk/serv), which I think means an addition takes 32 cycles.
I looked at your docs:

- renders very weird on my iPhone iPhone 15 Pro Max in Safari 18.0. Consider responsive design for smaller screen sizes to restyle the sidebar and set a body max-width instead of a width. You might not expect your users to develop on phones, but you might have a hard time with adoption if the docs are mobile hostile.

- the “explore components” button at the bottom of the home page seems to link to nowhere

- site claims “Learn from well-structured, accessible component implementations” as an advantage but I didn’t find any links to the implementation from the docs

- site claims “No dependencies to manage or update” but isn’t astra-ui a dependency? It has a changelog (https://www.astra-ui.com/changes/). Likewise “Full control over the code and styling” I don’t understand how I can both have full control but also be taking a dependency on implementations provided by a library.

I’m curious why you’ve decided to release this library? I’ve come to view open-sourcing internal software as useful to the company for a few specific reasons but to generally be a time-sink without much return unless it’s accomplishing a goal. Component libraries need to fight for general ecosystem adoption or there’s no audience and you might as well not publish at all.
I've dealt with cert pinning in the past, and the most frustrating part was invisible pins - any client can pin your certificate in their code, without ever having told you about it. If you run a large enough API over TLS, always assume that some random client will have pinned your certificate at their end. The only way to deal with it is to setup fast rotating certs, so these enterprise clients just give up, but that might not always be possible

We ended up doing slow brown-outs over a long time period to deal with it.

The fact that it has better write speed than read speed doesn't mean that it has bad read speed. It just happens to have even better write speed.

"Norway’s Maritime Authority told the BBC the vessel was inspected by DNV Group to ensure it met safety and environmental standards.

The group found damage to its hull, propeller and rudder, but the Ruby was still deemed “seaworthy”.

As a precaution, DNV Group, and the Maltese flag registry, insisted that a tug escort the vessel for the remainder of its journey.

The ship was bound for Klaipeda, in Lithuania, according to ship tracking firm MarineTraffic.

But despite being deemed seaworthy, the ship was denied entry to Klaipeda. Algis Latakas, the port authority's chief executive, told the BBC that this was "because of its cargo"." [0]

This looks promising! I agree with the need for more practical examples in the README. Authentication can be tricky, and clear code samples would definitely help to highlight how this library stands out. I’ll keep an eye on this—always looking for better TypeScript solutions.
Interesting concept. How did you arrive at this idea?
This 100%. Web components get praised for this isolation - and it’s like the exact thing I do not want if I’m building an application. Like try to have a global CSS theme, or use bootstrap, etc. (Please don’t suggest I embed a link to global CSS in every component.)

Like I get it if you’re sharing a component on different sites, like an embedded component or ad banner, etc. But it just gets in the way if you’re trying to do normal things that the majority of web apps need.
98% of the total time it takes me to design something, usually involves deleting entire designs because they get a point where something is unfeasible, invalid geometry, or against all manufacturers' guidelines (will this shape work with a draft angle? etc.)

this is usually before i start adding intricacies such as shells, fillets, and other features, which do take a lot of effort, but making those by hand is more of the 'art' side of the process anyway

anything that gets me through the first 98% is welcome :)
