The actual story here is that it's slowing down because the lower tail is growing, not because the upper tail is compressing as we hit some kind of upper limit of human longevity. That is: more people are actually dying younger, which has been gradually offsetting other people living longer.

Re: the NextJS custom endpoint thing -- you're right in that I wasn't comparing to Django but referring to my parent comment about Ghost, which I'd say doesn't really "support" custom endpoints even if it's "possible" -- plus the .yaml routing config is kind of a drag.

"Drop-in" is what enterprise software calls "bug-for-bug compatible" - e.g., replacing RedHat with CentOS (RIP) should work exactly the same, even if the CentOS team found bugs - they report them upstream and do NOT fix them themselves, because code may be relying on the bugs.

This is especially true with complicated vanilla Minecraft setups and red stone machines (Java Minecraft red stone has "bugs" that "shouldn't be there" but cannot be removed now since so much depends on it).

Yeah, that kind of reasoning (abduction) tends to be included with deduction and induction as the third form of reasoning. But IMO, it's really not. It's essentially confabulation, or legalistic argument -- where you're not attempting to discover an outcome (entailment) but you're trying to convince others that a desired outcome is plausible because it's possible to get there by cherry-picking a line of reasons.

If abduction has an Achilles Heel, it's that the sequence of reasons proposed is only ONE OF MANY possible chains of reasons that could have led to the current outcome. That tells you nothing about one possible chain's correctness and little about its likelihood to be correct (since you need to understand the degrees of freedom in each scenario to do that). That makes abduction more useful as a means to express personal bias and manipulate the beliefs of others than an attempt to fair-mindedly understand how something came to be.

It's hardly surprising that LLMs employ abduction rather than deduction or induction. Abduction is really just storytelling, where you recount a similar tale that resembles the current scenario (and ends where you want it to). It doesn't require any ability to generalize similar events into precise logical rules based on instances that share the same dependencies, mechanism of action, and outcome. Only by creating such rules using induction can deductive reasoning then take place using them. But LLMs associate, they don't equate. To date, I see no path to that changing.

Then the question should be "which bank is backing this ROM", not "is app A for bank B work on this ROM".

The answer to the latter is and will continue to be an instant negative for quite a while, and it's pointless question to make other than as a really indirect nudging for big bank(lol).

Im guessing Livy too, as i heard it from a professional (English) historian at least a decade ago..

now that you mentioned it, i notice that English historians (of any day) can be a bit… sloppy in their scholarship compared to continentals

Show HN: I launched my DevOps PostgreSQL platform today
My name is Elliott. For the last three years, I’ve been building a DevOps platform on the best-in-class open source platforms (Kubernetes, Elixir, PostgreSQL, Grafana, etc.). The goal is to give engineering teams access to a modern DevOps infrastructure without needing to have a full SRE/DevOps team dedicated.

It’s also open source /fair source - all the source code is here →
https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included

I shipped a public beta today and would love to hear initial reactions, thoughts, and feedback.

Here are details of the platform:
* The platform features a user-friendly suggestion-based interface that guides users on topics like PostgreSQL cluster memory/CPU ratios, serverless web hosting, and secure secret sharing. Advanced users can quickly access complete control over their data.

* It’s an Elixir-based UI on a database-driven, self-hosted Kubernetes platform. It can automatically deploy a scalable cloud installation (currently on AWS, with more options to follow) without inflicting YAML or Terraform configurations. Alternatively, it can set up a development instance using Kind and Docker or Podman, facilitating a smooth transition from local to production environments.

* The platform supports easy AI project hosting for various workloads. Use Ollama embedding models for text embedding, eliminating OpenAI costs and data leakage risks. With PGVector and Cloud Native PG for vector databases, you can achieve near-state-of-the-art performance without exposing your data to third-party APIs. Experiment with Jupyter Notebooks, featuring optional Nvidia Plugin batteries for no DevOps-required experimentation.

* Single Sign-On is streamlined via Keycloak, Istio Ingress, and OAuth Proxy, and it is securely hosted on your machine or cloud account. We've simplified security with full mTLS, Istio, SSL generation, and automated routing with Let's Encrypt and Acme for HTTP2. Istio Ingress services are seamlessly configured down to the contents of config maps.
Grafana and Victoria Metrics can be auto-configured with just a few clicks for easy installation.

Here’s also a look at the demo of the database deploy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbvkWja3VIQ

The platform follows all the best practices learned for configuring and running a maintainable system without Kubenete's GitOps pain.

Kind of off topic, I had a dentist say “that needs to come out” for a wisdom tooth. I was of the opinion “it doesn’t hurt and it’s not even sensitive, so it stays in”, it was the only cavity I’d had in a very long time and I haven’t had any since. So we argued for 10 years over it to the point it became a joke between us. Well finally it became sensitive (not painful, but sugar and cold would set off a little pain) and I then had it pulled, my dentist was like “I told you” and I responded with “yeah for 10 years” . Is that a fairly typical situation?
How about "Can you ~~at least~~ please reformat your markdown for HN before pasting it?"

The guy has obviously put in a lot of work into an open source project.

Markdown is easily parsed by the crowd on HN, and adds clarity even if the HN MD engine is unable to reflect the intention.

If for some reason that is hard for you to handle his markup, you can comment on it without negativity.
There's some interesting parallels here.

If you go deep enough into electronics, you'll run into physics again. The engineers working at the chip fabs (and chip design) work very hard to shield us mortals from the messy details - the idealized transistors and gates we work with in the digital world are a useful abstraction. (I hope never to need to learn about quantum tunneling!)

In the same way, if you go deep enough into software design (whether "user-facing" or for other developers, you'll run into the messy vagaries of humans and our wetbrains.

Whether you're dealing with the subcultural expectations of your audience for a drop-down vs radio-button, or writing a tutorial on how to use your library, or thinking about what features your fancy new programming language needs, we rely on the abstractions and rules-of-thumb that we've learned. But those rules come from deep places, using results from neurology, sociology, psychology, etc!

Everything is deep, in every direction and all the way down. :)
You should tell my PM and manager this.

Also, what else are standups even for? Everything I've read or seen IRL is some bullshit about using them for teams to "align" or "sync up" or "share progress" or nine other euphemisms for status updates. Let's call a spade a spade.
> The rumor mill is saying it will be cheaper... but still not cheap at ~$2000.

That same rumor mill has always said that an affordable consumer version is the long term goal.

Apple has started development on a consumer version of the tech in a glasses form factor several times over the years, only to decide the current tech still doesn't allow for what they want.

For instance, an iteration that was tethered to an iPhone that made it to test production in 2019:

We’ve discussed the downsides of having such a policy in this subthread.

I want to have the choice to do a true merge or some other strategy. It’s a downside for me personally. Not having a choice doesn’t help me since it’s a meaningful choice in my book.

As a policy. I leave this decision for others. People who prefer can squash-merge all the time if they want to.
Reminds me of trying to cheat myself in 70's by making a lead conker (painted to be right color). It got confiscated at school as being dangerous (lump of lead on a string) before I could even use it.

Conkers is half about cheating anyway - baking it to make it rock hard, or soaking in vinegar to make it rubbery and resilient.
4-7 mm of inaccuracy is irrelevant.
Probably because you have to be able to crimp that connector as simple as possible, without too much tooling OR training needed.

You literally can train anyone, as non-tech as possible, to crimp 8 wires with a $5 tool in 5-10 minutes.
Presumably you brush your teeth. The studies on floss usage do not start with a baseline of doing nothing at all.
It is possible to build reactors that are physically incapable of melting down.

So to throw out the entire nuclear industry just because seems like a weird argument IMO.

Three Mile Island was a relatively safe reactor with a (partial) meltdown, which didn't cost that much, and is going to go back into production decades later. Fukushima, too, was a relatively safe reactor that caused a (partial) meltdown, but a massive financial burden.

It's debatable how much of that cost is truly necessary.

If this would've happened in the fossil fuel world, the cleanup would've been in the low billions instead of >$100B.

I would argue deep horizon was ecological a disaster several orders of magnitude worse than Fukushima, yet it cost several orders of magnitude less in cleanup.

It's almost as if we apply different scales to different energy sectors.
>There's a lot more smokers than there are severely obese people.

Huh, I was going to argue this, but you're right (in the US). 19.5% of the population smokes, so there's about twice as many smokers as severely obese people.

I was sure it had dropped to 5-10%. I guess I'm in a bubble (of fresh air).

> there would no clean way to edit/remove/reorder downstream commits

Yes, but I consider commits immutable so reordering or editing commits is not a thing that would happen. New commits are appended (either upstream or downstream), and any conflicting changes then of course have to be merged from upstream into downstream.
My dentist was bought out by one of these operations a couple of years ago, and quit after a few months of observing their tactics. I never actually saw her when I went for two 6 months checkups. It was non-stop upsell on water piks, "preventative" procedures, cosmetics. So I switched back when I found out my original dentist had re-opened a private practice.
Stay away from venture capital dentistry operations. Same with veterinary practices -- similar issue with venture capital takeover of our long term vet.

If the operation is owned/financed by venture capital, stay away. Their priority is obviously not health and wellbeing.
I adore it. I would love the ability to add frame delay (and maybe start/end position/rotation tweening?!) to each layer of glasses.
You can also set your password to "password" but hopefully you don't. Guidelines and technical measures can't keep everybody safe all the time, if they are determined to be unsafe, but that is never an argument against them.
I hope you're not a manager, because this is horrible guidance. For starters, there are some neurodivergent people who really get thrown off by interruptions, especially if they are really focused on the task at hand. It is entirely unreasonable for you to expect that your coworkers should be available at your beck and call. And you are totally ignoring the fact the countless studies showing that workplace interruptions cost companies money.
> 5,700tWH/yr

IOW 650 GW average. Which would be 743 Sanborns. China could churn that out in a couple of years. Your math is out by a factor of 365*24.

> And given that Coal is US$1-1.50/kg, heavy industry will continue to use that because it is cheap and available.

I think your numbers must be off, because that's crazy expensive. It takes over a pound of coal to generate a kWh of electricity, so that's over 50 cents per kWh, 100X as expensive as solar.
Nah, they know who you are and aren’t actually confused about it.

They’ll be friendly, may even invite you to things, but they aren’t confused about who is who.
I went in for a checkup and my doctor actually retested me after a few minutes because the first reading was unnaturally high. Hurrying into the office and the general anxiety of being in a hospital certainly raises it by a bit.
> We demand a color palette for glass colour.

You can choose different styles of glasses. But, yeah, they're all black-ish. Definitely open to different colors/styles! I've created a new issue with some possible solutions and will look into it: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/33 (but PRs are welcome too!)
That anxiety is more present in the first of the readings than the last, so you get an indication if that’s affecting the reading too. You don’t have to be able to filter it out entirely to know if the reading has diagnostic value.
Why is that? Ultimately someone has to work on the tooling for any project. If you're working in a group in particular, you can have different people working on different parts of the project. If you need a type system, you can have one programmer write it and maintain it, or be the product owner whatever the terminology is these days, then everyone else can use the type system and not have to worry about it any more.

To be clear, there are only some tools, or let's say abstractions, that you need to implement on your own. The good thing about Prolog is that it has a very mature ecosystem of libraries and packages that you can pick off the shelf and work with immediately. Although that is mostly true for SWI-Prolog, where most of those libraries are found. You normally have to write some translation layer to port them over to a different Prolog- and that is totally a PITA. But there's no reason not to use SWI-Prolog, which is free as in speech and as in beer.

For example, SWI-Prolog has http libraries that have everything you need to set up a web app, using Prolog itself as the database and the back-end language both- it's like a LAMP stack except the stack is LP: Prolog running on Linux:

https://us.swi-prolog.org/FAQ/PrologLAMP.md

I reckon the only reason this is not widely used in the industry is because web devs, like everyone else, don't have the time and energy to learn a whole new language, especially one so scary as Prolog. Quoting from the link above:

Our final problem is the lack of masses of Prolog programmers one can easily hire.

Your assumption is that the floss is removing something that brushing does not. Ask your dentist why you should floss and the answer is not removing occasional lodged pieces of food from between your teeth, but cleaning under the gum line. There is no evidence to suggest it works that way, this is what the long term studies have determined.
The ones used for conkers are horse chestnuts (typically round in shape), not the same as the ones that are eaten which are spanish chestnuts and normally have flat sides.

This is not about education, it is about morality. So maybe they do need an education, but let that be in empathy and moralilty.

And why can't we have education AND universal healthcare? I want a government agnecy (the people) to control the morality of corporations and private equity. Like we have laws against fraud already that protects us from "unnecessary work done on their car to boost dealership profits".

Adding still, why would anyone be against universal healthcare? I mean it is the biggest insurance pool you can create and that immediately lowers costs.
> What is that going to look like as the country develops further? Will low carbon continue to grow, or will they be forced to reach for easier alternatives to scale quickly?

Renewables are getting a MASSIVE push from the Indian government as it's dual use and helps upskill Indian manufacturing, and more critically a lot of capital (foreign and domestic) is being reallocated towards renewable capacity building.

That said, coal consumption will continue to expand for the foreseeable future.

There's a good overview by Bloomberg (their Investment team, not the loss leading news team) into this [0]

Show HN: I made an app that lets me build my SaaS landing page in minutes, no AI
Hey HN!

Building the landing page for my SaaS apps, was one of my least favorite parts of building SaaS. I didn't want to spend hours designing and building a landing page. I also didn't want to spend a monthly fee for a website builder. That is when the idea of a landing page builder for the Tailwind CSS and Daisy UI library came to mind.

I spent the next two weeks building it, and used it to build the landing page for the landing page builder.

Now I don't need to spend hours designing and building the landing page. I just go straight to the landing page builder, and I have most of the website done in minutes. Plus, it is already responsive, and it will work on any size screen.

I sort of agree. But I think it is part of the puzzle.

The Apple headset thing is $5000 and much bigger than a pair of sunglasses. I just don’t think the tech is here yet to make something that most people actually want. So nobody has the problem that Apple can solve yet: good enough hardware in search of useful apps.

No VR device has even gotten close to having to answer a question like “how is this useful” because the current janky hardware is only appealing to those of us who are happy to just play games, haha.
