Reading the deployment information, there's an interesting tension here with applications that target self-hosting.

Deploying this requires running 5 different open source servers (databases, proxies, etc), and 5 different services that form part of this suite. If I were self-hosting this in a company I now need to be an expert in lots of different systems and potentially how to scale them, back them up, etc. The trade-offs to be made here are very different to when architecting a typical SaaS backend, where this sort of architecture might be fine.

I've been going through this myself with a hobby project. I'm designing it for self-hosting, and it's a radically different way of working to what I'm used to (operating services just for my company). I've been using SQLite and local disk storage so that there's essentially just 2 components to operate and scale – application replicas, and shared disk storage (which is easy to backup too). I'd rather be using Postgres, I'd rather be using numerous other services, background queue processors, etc, but each of those components is something that my users would need to understand, and therefore something to be minimised far more strictly than if it were just me/one team.

Huly looks like a great product, but I'm not sure I'd want to self-host.
a) Build it with native-compilation flag

b) Use https://github.com/blahgeek/emacs-lsp-booster

c) Tweak GC vars, see: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/performance/

d) Use plists for deserialization (described in the previous link)

e) Learn how to use built-in profiler and don't hesitate to launch it, sometimes simply disabling some minor-mode in specific setting is all it takes

f) Current state of Tree-sitter in Emacs is a mixed bag - for some modes you get huge improvements, for others it's the opposite. YMMV.
Wow I'm more excited to learn about Gadgetbridge than I am about this ring.
This just confirms the point I made above about naming. What's your point exactly?
See my parent level comment. These homes still exist at this price (inflation adjusted). You just have to build them yourself.
We're really good at filling in the blanks with less data. That's why even the best animated scenes may not hit as hard as a page of manga with 6-7 panels dedicated to the scene. we imagine that scene ourselves, guided by the panels. Or why a recreation of a scene in a book can fall short to your imagination.

To contrast the above comment, video games don't let you "skip" steps these days. It's unsurprising to hear the author works at Epic Games because you get a lot less room to be experimental in that 3d real-time realm compared to any other medium like movies. When interactivity is involved, fluidity and responsiveness is key to keeping a player immersed, compared to a movie that could suddenly lower its framerate to create an ironically more engaging fight scene.

This idea that not letting kids access social media is harmful is something I don't understand.

We don't allow our kids to use social media. Some of their friends do, and some of them do not.

Doesn't seem to be a problem in any way.

I'm guessing you would expect a longer life out of the offerings from 1920 than today as well. We've gotten really good at making things last just long enough to clear warranty before falling apart to save money, back in 1920 they were mostly using real lumber.

The TikTok documents: Stripping teens and boosting 'attractive' people

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41832903
The thing that bugs me is how ... intrusive the object dependencies are. Outside of the most trivial mods, you absolutely must buy into one of the major ecosystems, and quite a few things can't be changed in an external mod, only in the ecosystem's core mods, because they're all registered in a single function that's not hookable. Changing the core mods themselves of course causes problems whenever you want to update them.

That said, some of the ecosystems (frameworks?) themselves are decent as-is. The two mineclone forks (I don't pretend to know the difference) are probably the best place to start.

Mapgen sucks if you want any kind of realism though. Even the mods that pretend to care about it (half of which are in lua and thus really slow) don't operate on a "top-down" level, so always end up with things like "water flows uphill in a circle". And the grid is very obvious, especially if you're obsessed with the dimensions of your base like I am. I also suspect poor RNG control in places. And there's definitely an idempotency option - if you quit (or crash) the game while mapgen is still running, you can end up with half-generated terrain.

Even the builtin mapgens are slow to generate new terrain if you use the "fast" cheat.

(this ended up being a bit more negative than I'd like; I don't intend to stop people from trying it)

Basecamp is also the same price. SaaS pricing is all made up. If you're a high-margin SaaS company the idea of spending $40k/yr for this seems... fine. If you're a small business, or you operate on retail margins, you'd laugh them out of the room, and rightly so as there are great tools at far better prices.

The idea of every service charging $15-30 per user per month is a myth perpetuated by companies who themselves have that budget to spend out of their VC funding.

But the two are the same thing. You took the fourier transform of white noise and find white noise, both real (amplitude noise) as complex (phase noise).

You can think of it like this: the noise is not about the phase changing, it is about your ability to tell what the phase is. The noisier the signal gets, the harder time you will have to tell what the amplitude is, as well as what the phase is.

Untidy Data: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Tables
This remark reminded me (when locals were king) that at one time (late 80s, early 90s?) the US Small Business Admin. created a BBS that enabled access via modem and a long-distance toll-free number on Sprint. It lasted for less than a year, but having back-and-forths getting to know people across the country was a real treat.
It did cripple them in the sense that it took forever to actually fully implement the Algol-style syntax and the necessarily much more complex macro system that such a syntax requires.

That one to two year delay absolutely destroyed any momentum Dylan could have had, and also made implementation of a Dylan-compatible language much more (needlessly) complex for a perceived benefit that never materialized.

Instead of being able to focus on implementing optimizations, tools, and frameworks, everyone trying to participate in the Dylan ecosystem had to spend that time on syntax bullshit instead, and still do. It really pains me that the other Dylan ecosystem players didn't immediately drop the Algol-style syntax for the much simpler Lisp-style one when Apple dropped Dylan, and to this day OpenDylan uses the infix syntax.
A human has to be paid for being present. A robot can be remotely activated as needed. If you need 5 minutes of labor somewhere over an 8 hour period, you can pay for 5 minutes if labor by having a person that jumps between bots.
We are, but we have incentives against it. Your career as a self-educated generalist is going to be significantly worse than as a credentialed specialist. You're going to get weeded out by HR drones for good positions and the positions that you do get an interview for, they're going to try and put you in a box like a specialist and make you a cog in a machine, so you won't get to even use your full skillset.
It's not a "solution"; you still need to solve your undesirably slow startup, but if you're having to kill and restart Emacs multiple times a day, something is wrong with your workflow. Normally, Emacs doesn't require restart - for weeks and months in some cases.

emacsclient is useful on its own. For example, I use it to edit just about any text, in any input box in any app, delegating the task to Emacs, or when I want to open some URL in Emacs, while browsing a web page in my browser, or to send some selected text to Emacs.
The distance between two uniform random points on an n-sphere clusters around the equator. The article shows a histogram of the distribution in fig. 11.

Not at all, but they don't solve this problem. They help, but just because a database is in a container doesn't mean you don't need to know how it operates. Containerised databases don't necessarily come with maintenance processes automated, or may automate them in a way that isn't suitable for your needs.

Postgres vacuuming comes to mind as an example. Pre-built docker images of it often just ignore the problem and leave it up to the defaults, but the defaults rarely work in production and need some thought. Similarly, you can tune Postgres for the type of storage it's running on, but a pre-built container is unlikely to come with that tuning process automated, or with the right tuning parameters for your underlying storage. Maybe you build these things yourself, but now you need to understand Postgres, and that's the key problem.

Containers do mostly solve running the 5 built-in services, at least at small scale, but may still need tuning to make sure each pod has the right balance of resources, has the right number of replicas, etc.

When the community manager (first assumed rogue, but later found to be aligned with Godot's founder) threw a fit and made it clear that anybody who doesn't toil very narrow ideological and political lines is not welcome in the project, there's not much left to do but fork.

Here in Japan, it would seem almost impossible. Just recently build a house. It took almost as long to just get the approval from the city vs the time to build. Additionally, AFAIK you are technically not allowed to touch anything with electricity or water without license. Forget about connecting to the city grid.
There are complex reasons behind my development of this. To be honest, I don’t think the editing functionality of this tool is particularly useful.

> if a reused Starship blows up on accent, that's not great, but it's not terrible either

You're correct. But Starship, being a multi-use spacecraft, can't capitalise on this differential.

Fuel-only launch enables high-g launch options, e.g. rail guns. It could also enable low-reliability low-cost options, but the nature of space launch hasn't opened that niche up, and--I suspect--the nature of environmental regulations ensure it never will.

Some more about FM at http://www.theradiohistorian.org/fm/fm.html — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41471355

« FM signals were much more immune to interference than AM due to its “capture effect” – an interfering signal needed to be more than 50% the strength of the desired signal to cause audible interference, compared to 5% or less with AM. This characteristic would considerably reduce the required separation between stations occupying the same channel and allow more channel re-use, which compensated for its greater occupied bandwidth. And most importantly, because all natural and man-made static is amplitude modulated, FM proved to be amazingly noise-free. Armstrong improved its resistance to noise still further by incorporating a new receiver component – a limiter that stripped off the amplitude variations in the received signal before it reached the detector. He had finally solved the problem of static interference that had confounded radio experts since the beginnings of the art. »
For the purposes of the argument it is: these are the interface between the unseen "real world" and the LLMs. So information coming from these forums, even if regurgitated from "real life" or "education" or "experience"... the writer or someone else's, is a "creation" to the LLM.

And just to point out another factual error in the OP's post, those women were also getting married in their mid-to-late 20s back then:

Apart from a few decades in the early 1800s, the only time since 1550 that the average age of first marriage for women fell below age 24 was during the baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s.

This looks interesting - is there a comparable ring that also has a temperature sensor? It would be interesting to be able to determine if you're sick a day or two ahead like an Oura ring or Apple's new Vitals app for Apple Watch using an open source app.

Alternatively, does anyone know if it's possible with the sensors just in this ring?
Let's switch the analogy to sound. Amplitude is loudness. Frequency is pitch. You are trying to discern two sources of sound. One is a constant pitch but variable volume. The other can always blast at max volume with variable pitch.
To be in the top 1% you would likely need to depend on search on a daily basis for your livelihood. As a reminder the Starter plan is USD $5/month with 300 searches included.

Isn’t a Renaissance man someone skilled in multiple fields and pretty much a generalist at anything to throw at him?
Depends on the laws in your local area. But many places where I live allow you to build your own home as long as you follow the building codes.

But nothing's stopping you from buying one of these and hiring a professional to do the build. Would still be much cheaper than buying a property with a home on it already.
Depends on the local building codes. Some rural places have little or no codes, so build whatever you want however you want it.

well we had an entire article explaining parts of that. You can skimp out on some areas and fool a human, but human proportions and environmental weight is hard. Then you get to motion and it's extremely hard to fool the human eye.

One end of art is spending millions of man hours to polish this effect to fool the eye. the other side simplifies the environment and focuses more on making this new environment cohesive, which relaxes our expectations. Take your favorite 90's/early 00's 3d game and compare it to Mass Effect: Andromeda to get a feel of this.

AI is promising to do the former with the costs of the latter. And so far it's maybe halfway to Andromeda in its infancy of videos.
I remember bumping into a Lisp Machine in the 90's. It was at my university, SFU. A door to a storage room at the rear of the computing science lab was left ajar and I took a look inside. Imagine my delight when I saw a Lisp Machine that towered over me! We had NeXT machines and SUN workstations in the lab so I imagine the Lisp Machine was mothballed.

> Imagine someone being a brain surgeon also interested in the heart, kidneys and urinary tract, nose-throat-ears, ... that's a Renaissance Doc.

Do you mean that such a Renaissance doc this is not a good thing? I think this is exactly the sort of doctors we need.

Right now, my father has diabetes t2, high bp, a slightly enlarged prostrate gland, a series of UTIs, hernia, skin rashes and probably a few other things. He's fairly rigorous in researching & learning about his conditions. But no doc he consults takes an overall picture of his health. You have nephrologist, urologist, cardiologist and so on. They tend to miss things among themselves until he reminds them.

Yes medicine has advanced greatly but a renaissance doc would be transformative for people like him.
This. The moment I saw Musk being given as an example of a Renaissance figure, the value of the post dropped close to zero. Musk is a pure snake-oil salesperson. A sham.

Yes. Something falling into a web of cables. I'd say it may be simpler than optimally controlling that last SnakeX maneuver to be hugged by a short-armed T-Rex.

That's why I wasn't talking about arms, but cables, as explained by most of the reply.
If you’re talking about industrial tasks then you want efficiency and precision. If you’re talking about mundane variety of tasks then you want generalizeability.
