Roundabouts always make think about the two parts of problem optimization, determining your objective function then optimizing. Many classical failure states for real world problems seem to involve having an OF that is incorrect then prematurely optimizing. Think of the rich guy who wants “love at all costs” and then pursues women with expensive gifts and fancy restaurants. You may achieve your aim but perhaps you won’t get what you want.

I think the same is true of roundabouts. One part of the experience that seems almost never to be mentioned is the experience for a passenger when encountering a series of roundabouts. Let’s say you had some bad oysters and are resting your head in the back of the car on a pillow and praying you can make it home before you upchuck your dinner. Perhaps some road engineer decided to put 5 or so roundabouts consecutively to “optimize traffic flow” then somewhere around spin number 3 you lose your stomach on the backseat. Perhaps the trip was not “optimal” for you.

That's a game of what-a-mole, though, and when the scraped data is being used to train LLMs, then a single miss is a really huge problem. That's why I gave up on that approach and took my sites off of the open web until some effective defense becomes possible.

It's Scotch for me. I was a homebrewer for a long time and really loved beer, but over my 30s I drifted away from craft brewing/beer and fell in love with Scotch. I've got a very deep Scotch collection now and will have 2-3 pours a week, usually on the weekends. I exercise a lot and live a very active lifestyle, so I think it's mostly fine. Wine just never stuck for me. I can enjoy it, especially when it's paired well with a dinner it can be such a joy, but if I never had wine again I'm not even sure if it would register consciously.
Roundabouts should have only 1 direction you need to look at to cross. You don't have to watch 3-4 different directions like at a 4way stop.

That said, if there's a huge bias towards cars coming from one direction (or out one direction), that can be very difficult to cross. And it has impacts on the roundabout's throughput too, and means that a roundabout might not be the most ideal. Similarly to how a roundabout that gets backedup into can fail catastrophically (you have to make sure there's negative pressure!)

> Re-using devices helps us also reduce the number of new devices needed... which is what probably scares the corporate oligarchy

I agree with you. Reusing and repairing appliances flies in the face of current capitalism. We don't need new models of phones, laptops or cars every year. Sadly I'm not optimistic that we will be able to dial back greed any time soon.

Definitely agreed. I would be pretty surprised if this was burst capacity though. I have no insight as to how Hetzner implemented their object storage, but in general terms it's pretty difficult to ratelimit burst without adverse effects. Sustained is a lot easier to implement since you are typically having to have multiple load balancers coordinate to achieve such results. Attempting to do this at sub-minute time intervals is pretty tricky at scale.
Ask HN: Why don't dental chairs have a keyboard for easier communication?
In this way, you could more easily communicate with your dentist via the keyboard and a speech synthesizer.

Additionally, you could even have small talk throughout the procedure.

The other side may have a stop sign, but are they stopping?

Its sort of useless to know if you have the right of way or not when you drive defensively. Just assume you don't and only go if you actually see someone yielding/preparing to yield to you.
> Going after the LLM itself, not the output, is a lot trickier.

Exactly so, and this is why withdrawing from the open web is the only realistic solution at this time.
Hah! Nice idea! I built something with a similar mindset but instead of calling cloud AI providers my aim is to provide a self-hostable complete AI platform: https://github.com/singulatron/singulatron

I know that might sound like putting the server back to serverless. But I would say it's being your own serverless provider - once you have the platform installed on your servers you can build frontend-only AI apps on top.

Hope you don't mind the self-plug. Your approach definitely a ton of advantages when starting out (no infra to manage etc).

Python versions 3.11, 3.12 and now 3.13 have contained far fewer additions to the language than earlier 3.x versions. Instead the newest releases have been focusing on implementation improvements - and in 3.13, the new REPL, experimental JIT & GIL-free options all sound great!

The language itself is (more than) complex enough already - I hope this focus on implementation quality continues.
There is zero chance that I'd be able to effectively use a keyboard when the dentist is at work on my mouth.
I think KDE can be lighter in terms of response/lag if you turn off animations. On most desktops with dedicated graphics though it probably doesn't matter. Definitely on those older Intel 6000 type graphics and earlier though it does make a big difference.
> It's very easy to take a nihilist view that nothing matters, as it completely absolves oneself of any potential responsibility whatsoever

No! I actually do take personal responsibility by:

• Living in a small apartment in a dense city

• Never having driven a car - I never even learned to drive

• Never flying in an airplane – last flight was 10+ years ago and have no plans to fly again

• Eating a plant-based diet

• Not ever having kids

But I will concede that none of those things matter.

That is neat! People in general will not change their behavior.

Spartan 7 Tile Eases FPGA Integration – EEJouranl
This is highly dependent on the use case. Backblaze gives you 3x free egress, but after you hit that you pay for any additional egress. Wasabi has terms of use not to exceed 1x your storage, but is not in their model to pay egress. As a long-term storage user, you can restore a full system-wide backup without any concern of charges at Wasabi(typically, you're not restoring everything, just recent backups), as long as you are not consistently doing it. Backblaze will get you more egress for sharing data over the public internet, but if you need more, you will get charged.

> There are a finite number of poor countries.

This is a bit of an imaginary solution to the problem, is it not? And there will always be poor_er_ countries, which is the thrust of my point.

The economic incentive does not go away. Not least because it is clearly already cheaper to float it away on a huge boat than bury it where it is used.

One problem is land cost: it's extremely difficult to safely build new houses on top of landfill. But that doesn't explain everything, does it? After all the USA has plenty of room to bury all its consumer waste. Why is it exporting it?

> And this stuff all started out in heavy metals deposits, it is already present underground somewhere.

It does not start out all in one place, though. It starts out in small, dispersed concentrations of heavy metals, and ends up all in a few giant landfills in poorer countries. It's not clear what the risk is, but the lack of clarity doesn't mean there's no risk.

If you mean can I use a keyboard without looking at it, then yes (once I have my hands positioned properly).

But I don't think that would help much. The keyboard would have to be positioned in an awkward place, which would throw off my hand position and I expect ruin my keyboarding skills.

But, more importantly, I'm far, far too distracted to have the mental cycles left over for keyboarding. For a similar reason, I can't stand listening to music during dental procedures.

But others may take to this better. There's nothing wrong with having a keyboard as an option, of course. I seriously doubt it would benefit me any, though.

Update: Now that I've thought about it, I'd find a simpler variation useful: two big buttons, one under each hand, one meaning "Yes" and the other meaning "No". My dentists have generally instituted a similar, but non-technical solution: raise one hand for "yes", the other for "no"/"stop"/"I'm in distress".
I don't think constructors are the challenging part. It's about lexically scoped destruction. Certainly there are languages that have that and permit garbage collection, however those constructed values are necessarily second-class citizens and behave somewhat differently than ordinary values. There's probably some reasonable middle-ground, like constructors returning an owned reference that explicitly can be turned into an unowned reference, thus opting out of deterministic destruction.
I don’t know about _rarely_, but I think it is like rich people, most of the had to dish out a lot of pain and misery to get where they are.

I've unfortunately met a number of "full stack" devs recently that are clearly 95% frontend as well, and have a very similar attitude as that person toward backend tech in general. We of course should not take such a small sample size and draw any sort of conclusions, but it's definitely a trend I'm looking out for now whenever someone claims to be "full stack." If the only backend stuff you've done is Firebase, or just a handful of serverless functions that don't do much, or if the "backend" you have in mind is just SSR-ing templates into HTML, then you really should qualify any claims about backend.

Where I live some of the locals treat a newly-built roundabout like the Daytona Speedway.

Refurbish and repairing viable electronics does not help keep Apple's, Google's or any manufacturer's stock high. Stock spikes high when the news organizations can talk about all the latest hardware and how sales doing well. Why would those companies CEOs want to hurt their golden package before exiting the industry?

One way to start penetrating right-to-repair would be to force device unlocking after ownership, device payed off, and end-of-life classification by the manufacture.

Next step would be for the manufacturers to require publishing open documents for 3rd party support without having to sign a NDA.

Both of those require reverse engineering. With camera technology being so complex, this is the feature that limits alternative OS usage with continual security updates after the manufactures give up.

Maybe rephrasing right-to-repair as "consumer protection" could help push it through better with less tech savvy consumers.
> It's a weird trend that seems almost entirely motivated by people wanting open source projects in their resume

Developer here. I can't speak to what you see as the weird trend, but I can speak about sq's history:

- I created the first version of sq circa 2013 as my own personal dev tool to address some pain points (amongst other things: getting JSON out of various DBs from the command line in a consistent manner, and wanting an easy way to inspect DB schemas, i.e. "sq inspect")

- It was starting to be a minor PITA dealing with colleagues asking for the latest revision of the tool, so I open-sourced it. In 2016 or so I think?

- sq is FL/OSS and will remain so, no funding is sought, not even one of those "buy me a coffee" thingies

- I didn't create this HN post about sq, nor do I know the person who did. But thanks for sq's 15 mins of fame, kind stranger
What’s logic with three truth values? Are you thinking of trinary and not ternary? I think of a ternary expression as one of the form “(a < b) ? 5 : 2” and that seems like the most common usage from a C++, JavaScript, and Python perspective. https://www.programiz.com/cpp-programming/ternary-operator

OTOH, it doesn’t matter what assumptions we make, right? Words and phrases often have multiple meanings. The word ternary means composed of three parts, and that fits here.
>People should understand that proper clean electronic waste recycling does exist. [..] This is more a portrayal of extreme poverty than anything.

That like saying "people should understand that eating cake is also an option, you don't have to eat dirt".

Because then answer me why most e-waste dumping gets shipped off to those impoverished countries instead of being processed locally using the "cheap and clean" ways you mention, directly in the rich western nations who are buying all those electronics in the first place.

Throwing the blame back on the poor countries getting exploited by corporate interest of rich western countries doing greenwashing, feels like gaslighting.

I was with linode for a loooong time for my personal VM-in-cloud (like 15 years). But I got an itch to check around to see if there was a cheaper option earlier this year and found that Hetzner would give me literally twice the machine for about two thirds the cost. ($6/mo vs €4~/mo, 1gb nanode vs. CX22 so 1vcpu/1gb to 2vcpu/4gb and 25gb disk to 40gb)

So far I'm happy with the service. Linode wasn't bad per se, Hetzner just offered more for less. Their admin console is a bit more spartan in comparison to Linode's, but that's not a place I spend much time anyway. If Russia glasses Finland and Germany I'd have to find another provider but I'm pretty sure I'd have bigger problems at that point than where to park my wordpress blahg and irc session, lol.
