How is Boeing successful with this project and not with Starliner?
I studied physics, not CS, so I can't really speak to the CS curriculum part. But I am someone who has written rust professionally for a few years so I'll describe how I got there. I think the most experience I've ever had with C was writing a fourth order Runge-Kutta routine and calling it from python for a college project. Maybe 20 lines of C? In industry for the first 5yr I wrote lots of python and java code for web APIs and "big data" systems. Simultaneously around 2015 I started getting interested in rust because it seemed interesting, and like it would probably play a big role in the next 20yr--memory safety without a garbage collector is inherently compelling if you've spent time trying to make java GC act right. Eventually I got a job which was a full time rust gig. After about 3 years of that I ended up in a golang shop. So I've written some tens of thousands of lines of rust and only a few lines of C. I read C, but it would take a while for me to get comfortable writing it. But I wouldn't, probably, because I can use rust instead.
What annoys me is it’s like $100 in Europe and it’s available in a pill form there (so you could presumably easily reduce the dose and therefore the cost by breaking the pill in half). And no US insurance will cover any of it unless you have diabetes. Put another way, if I can find someone in Europe to prescribe it to me, and pay out of pocket for 90 days worth, I could take a free vacation to Europe every 3-4 months in perpetuity.
Nice. This is the first time I read about creating a virtual monitor in X.

The lack of awareness of the Tiangong stations in the west is distinctly strange.

Anyone else notice the irony? We're talking about Open Source, right? Then, "will the west adopt chinese software", which has a xenophobic touch. But wait, a paragraph later "Can I sell this to our clients?" Well, you know, I am too long into FLOSS to not notice this corporate bullshit. Its open source, you dont have to be able to sell it, MBA.
But don't people playing Minecraft play it for the fun mods? And people playing Luanti play mods that replicate the original Minecraft? They've gone full circle in too little steps.
I think mitigation is still better than nothing.
Not in our experience; for our cases it is still a resource hog. We discussed it even less than a year ago with core devs and with a large postgres consultancy place; they said postgres doesn't fit our use case which was already our conclusion, no matter how much we want it to be. Mysql is smooth as butter. I have nothing to win from picking mysql just that it works; I rather use postgres as features / not oracle but...

Edit; also, as can be seen here in responses, and elsewhere on the web when discussing this, the fans say it's no problem, but many less religious users feel it's a massive design flaw (perfectly logical at the time, not so logical now) that sometimes will stop users from using it, which is a shame
There are biases all over, hard to avoid; but even Fanshawe's problematic African Sanctus had more breadth and depth of Africa than this chart - and where's the Australian indigenous space-age lounge trip-hop FFS .. ;)
As I understand it Tesser doesn't support ordering which makes it tricky for many types of logic. I'd like to be able to control exactly which parts of a pipeline are parallelisable without too much ceremony, but I can't say I've used Rama in anger or that it makes this ergonomic.
I keep a notebook where I write down every idea that crosses my mind, without judgement about how good the idea is. I just write it down. Every so often, I go through and curate that list. I have far more ideas than I have time in my life to implement. If you adopt a similar habit, I bet you'll get similar results.
The new name lacks context that the old one had. Imagine discussing it on a bad telephone connection:

“There’s this game similar to Minecraft; it’s called Minetest. You know like, mining and testing”

Vs

“There’s this game similar to Minecraft; it’s called Luanti — uhhh, l-u-a-n-t-i”

The new name isn’t hard, but it’s definitely not as easy.
It was the killer app that got me hooked on Emacs (which I now use as my IDE and daily driver for almost everything except web browsing).

Every time I see tools like this I think "ah, the normies are reimplementing Magit".
I love how simple this is- Barely 100 lines or C++ (ignoring comments). That's one thing that makes me prefer X11 over Wayland.
I see. Not something I'm reliant on, but I can definitely see how it's a problem if your workflow depends upon panels and you often change monitors.

Not uniquely corrupt but uniquely violent (before the Ukraine invasion one in eight violent homicides happened in Brazil... not South America, Brazil).

Besides, I don't know great movies that explain the corruption and violence on each metropolis, just this one (and The Wire for Baltimore, which is by the way great television).

I'd recommend also watching the Vice piece on how Brazilian gangs are fueling violence in Paraguay. It's quite jarring to see the slang of street criminals of Rio and SP spoken across the border in what is a war like situation.
the fact that doubleclick.net shows up in the requests is incredibly telling. the page doesnt even work for me with ublock origin and strick tracking protection in firefox. is this related to all the social media links on the page? is the page just refusing to work because ads wont load?

They do checks of the tower systems before using it, and have abort contingencies in case something goes wrong during final approach. I'm not sure if they intend (or have fuel budget) for last-second aborts to other towers, or if they just ditch in the ocean (remember there are no humans on the booster).

I'm curious how late in the catch sequence they can still abort.

While I agree that direct payments to maintainers are great, they almost always amount to a laughable salary / pennies for years of professional work.

I would never start a serious open source project — I contribute for fun but trying to make a living from it is painful and the community yells at you bc you bring money into OSS.
Where did I say AM and FM are close to 100% efficiency?

I was only replying to an obviously incorrect statement that by using more bandwidth you decrease SNR. If it were the case, Shannon theorem would not work.

It doesn’t matter how close to the limit your encoding is, whether it is 20% or 99% the relationship between the bandwidth, noise floor and how much data you can send stays the same - by increasing bandwidth you can usually send considerably more information even if your encoding is poor. Which in translates to either a wider useful bandwidth or lower noise floor or any combination of both.

A trivial thought experiment to illustrate this: For any analog encoding, if I double the transmission bandwidth by encoding the same signal over 2 channels instead of one, I can average the output signal coming out the receivers and get better SNR than using one channel and one receiver. That works regardless of AM, FM or whatever fancy encoding you could use.
> That's not the platform's problem. It would likely make the platform less successful if they were to follow your advice.

If you're looking to start a competitor, you need to differentiate somehow. Not using "rage and anger" to drive engagement would be pretty appealing to a user.

It's also worth noting that the context of this thread was two users who deleted the app because it showed them stuff they did not want to see. And the wider context has been TikTok has been utterly clueless handling concerns from the public and regulators, so I don't think reasoning from the assumption that whatever TikTok does is necessary is the right way to go.

And if you are right, it's just more proof that modern capitalism doesn't incentivize making things people want, rather it incentivizes making the things that exploit them most effectively. The appropriate political adjustments should be made to beat those companies until their users' morale improves.

> Your suggestion was,

Wasn't my suggestion.

I think the source of your confusing is that you wandered into a conversion between users while thinking you were a platform.
More great[1] material for the one side, but to prove out more, someone is going to have to produce material on other apps & nations to compare it to.

[1] the misinformative rhetorical nature of it is going to lose people like me, but I suspect I am an outlier in this regard, misinformation aligned with culturally conditioned subconscious bias appeals to almost everyone in my experience.
My hypothesis: this is more cultural than people want to admit. Try to skip out on too many engagements, sorry, meals and see how many connections you still have.

Some subset of them does, many do not.

Used to own a 1917-construction house, can confirm the lumber thing. It was wild. The huge framing beams visible around the foundation in the basement were damn near veneer-quality by today’s standards. The diagonally-laid underfloor boards were so flawless that most could have been hardwood floor themselves (aside from their probably being pine, I mean).

We still had good finishing wood into the 80s or so. Lots and lots of blue-collar family homes still being build with solid wood trim and doors. That dropped off over that decade and was just about gone by some time in the ‘90s, and now we put cardboard trim and fake-wood doors in $750,000 houses.
Now that's an exaggeration

Not needing to be human-rated helps quite a bit (and increases the level of acceptable risk).
I was going to say, that's absolutely nothing. They state 2.1K clusters and 16K nodes; if you divide those, assuming even distribution, you get 7.6 instances/cluster. Round down because they probably rounded up for the article, so 1 primary and 6 replicas per cluster. That's still only ~1400 QPS / cluster, which isn't much at all.

I'd be interested to hear if my assumptions were wrong, or if their schema and/or queries make this more intense than it seems.
Well, this article is to help people understand just Rama's dataflow API, as opposed to an introduction to Rama for backend development.

Rama does have a learning curve. If you think its API is "clunky", then you just haven't invested any time in learning and tinkering with it. Here are two examples of how elegant it is:

This one does atomic bank transfers with cross-partition transactions, as well as keeping track of everyone's activity:

This one does scalable time-series analytics, aggregating across multiple granularities and minimizing reads at query time by intelligently choosing buckets across multiple granularities:

There are equivalent Java examples in that repository as well.

Ironically, if you tune your TikTok feed carefully, it can offer plenty of great learning material on human psychology and cultural cognition, I highly recommend it.

The sleep tracker seems to be quite poor - e.g. misrecognizing time spent in bed as time asleep. This was the same problem I had before with a xiaomi. It was so inaccurate on all fronts I just ditched the thing.

I wasnt expecting the colmi to be accurate for this low price, but still.

For gadgetbridge I dont think there are any good sleep trackers and the only two I know of that are genuinely accurate are the apple watch and oura (theres a guy who tests them all on youtube - this is what he found).

Id happily pay extra for a decent non-apple local storage only fitness tracker which integrates with OSS and doesnt upload every heartbeat to the cloud but it does not seem to exist.
One reason for the somewhat separate open source ecosystems that the author doesn't touch on is language. In my experience, the dev communities are already pretty separate simply because the languages are so different from each other. Japanese dev communities follow a similar pattern from what I know.

While I'm sure the geopolitical issues cause some division, I'd be willing to bet the main reason is much more fundamental and the two ecosystems just naturally developed separately.

Well no, you often can actually. You can have positive information about the impossibility of something, for example the prospect of winning a chess game after losing your king. You don't need to play billions of games of chess to see whether it's possible.

Zoning changes happen all the time. Tax changes happen all the time. Subsidy changes happen all the time.
The short hair example in particular is remarkably realistic. Immediately familiar to this guy who spent most of his childhood with a skin fade, and a massive improvement over the flat image texture or bump maps that are usually used.

Because many black people (especially African-Americans) have a mixture of hairtypes, I expect the results to be even better once something like this is implemented alongside existing systems.
Not as dramatic but buying Casio ai-1000 a Lisp calculator due to discussion here got me nowhere so far. Finally get a similar Casio hoping to develop serial driver so to communicate with it … this kind of project expand even the owner may have to ask. Why?
This works up to a point. Past a certain scale, running a database becomes hard(er), and you also start to need proxies, caches, load balancers, etc. to maintain performance.

I would agree, though, that many software installations never need to scale to that point. Perhaps most.
Also, I remember a friend showing me in Zoom that you can share not just one but multiple screens/windows—press the SHFT key while clicking the windows you want to share.

It would be another leg in the triad—presumably obsoleting strategic bombers for most potential scenarios.

All the legs have trade-offs, which is why you want more than one:

Silos are immobile.

Bombers are slow, limited-range and vulnerable.

Submarines have to hide and thus are difficult to keep in touch with reliably. They’re also damn complicated and may have systemic vulnerabilities we don’t fully understand.

A long-orbit, large-payload space plane brings some interesting new trade-offs to the strategic nuclear game, though who knows if that’s actually how it might be used.

Why is this not including tests with the new experimental free-threaded build mode, AKA disabling GIL?

That would have been an actual interesting comparison.
What we've released publicly on our public Maven repository is a different build of Rama which can only be used for testing/experimentation in a single process. So it can't be used to run full clusters. It's API-equivalent to the full Rama build.

This will change when we move out of private beta, when Rama will be free to use for production for small-scale applications.

Can we not add such weird patterns to websites please? I won't go as far as saying that this is user hostile but it does leave a bad taste! It is better to blank the page than redirect me to another website I never wanted to visit.

2100 clusters, 16k nodes, and data is replicated across every node "within a cluster" with nodes placed in different data centers/regions.

That doesn't sound unreasonable, on average. But I suspect the distribution is likely pretty uneven.
That sounds like regular old English to me. I could see myself saying all those things without thinking it's pushing any boundaries whatsoever. I'm starting to fear that LLMs are going to dumb down our language in the same way that people feared that calculators would remove our ability to calculate mentally.
No. I didn't forget. It has not been my experience that not having a garbage collector in rust was a problem in practice.
Learning how to do all of this is laudable for the same reason that learning LinuxFromScratch is a stupendous way to learn how Linux works and to get a job doing lower level maintenance work.

The Sad Case of the Youngest Person Ever Diagnosed with Alzheimer's
As a non radio engineer, reading this thread on HN is so fascinating because there are so many heated conflicting explanations for a common phenomenon in a well-established technology. I thought this simple question would be settled already. If such disagreement is possible even in an established "hard" science like this, then no wonder some people think everything is subjective.

Well I interpreted your comment as saying that I would accuse someone of pedantry, but it was me who accuses others of doing that (explicitly or implicitly), when someone points out technical errors in their reasoning that are beyond the culturally conditioned thresholds of acceptability.

Extreme detail and attention to correctness when discussing science or computers or software = Good.

Extreme detail and attention to correctness when discussing, say, geopolitics = Bad.

We are taught to think this way, pay attention when reading the newspaper or Internet forums, you can see it everywhere.
The technique in this paper would still be rightly described as distillation. In this case it's distillation of "internal" representations rather than the final prediction. This a reasonably common form of distillation. The interesting observation in this paper is that including an auxiliary distillation loss based on features from a non-generative model can be beneficial when training a generative model. This observation leads to interesting questions like, eg, which parts of the overall task of generating images (diffusionly) are being learned faster/better due to this auxiliary distillation loss.
Personally, I don't do "free tiers" for my commercial offerings. I do free trials instead. I think that its important not to set false expectations right from the start, and free tiers almost always set false expectations.
