As far as I can tell, multiplayer is the killer app for Durable Objects. If you want to build another Figma, Google Docs, etc, the programming model of Durable Objects is super handy.

This article goes into it more: https://digest.browsertech.com/archive/browsertech-digest-cl...

I think this old article is quite relevant too: http://ithare.com/scaling-stateful-objects/

Anyone who read the Figma multiplayer article and thought "that's kind of what I need" would be well served by Durable Objects, I think. https://www.figma.com/blog/rust-in-production-at-figma/

There are other approaches - I've worked in the past with CRDTs over WebRTC which felt absolutely space-age. But that's a much more complicated foundation compared to a websocket and a single class instance "somewhere" in the cloud.
Yes. Pakistan started the Kargil War with India in 1999 which was shortly after India had tested their first nuclear weapon.
> Yes, Elon is wildly optimistic about timelines. I have to laugh at his quote "At SpaceX we make the impossible merely late".

I think an important part of this quote is “At SpaceX”. For my part, I generally assume that “SpaceX Elon” and “other venture Elon” are different people. He has certainly burned a lot of good will with his FSD predictions, and to a smaller degree with things like hyperloop, boring company, etc.

SpaceX in contrast has always greatly exceeded expectations.
I find it weird that the big "problem" is setting cookies on the visitor's device and not that you send all your visitors' data/stats and browsing patterns to Google...
It's not merely an analogy, just the same EM waves scaled up in frequency by a few orders of magnitude.
The most expensive part is to support the risk and cost of research & development. Sure, that renders you the first place for a while, but expect others to move easier (and thus faster) after you marked the trail.
> If this is production, or for Work(TM), you need something proven.

I feel like part of Cloudflare's business model is to try to convince businesses at scale to solve problems in a non-traditional way using technology they are cooking up, no matter the cost.
I find it hard to take seriously much debate on naming things. Whatever name you choose is going to upset some people and please others; in the end, all you need is something fairly unique. You quickly forget any intrinsic meaning and it becomes transparent. ‘YouTube’ is a pretty amateurish sounding name and yet it stuck, and here we are now. When was the last time you even stopped and pondered its etymology?

The name of any successful entity quickly becomes synonymous with that entity. It’s a fallacy to think you can imbue the entity with meaning by picking its name very carefully.

If you think I’m underestimating the importance of a name, just imagine the reaction if you’d suggested naming a computer company ‘Apple’ in the 1970s.

Conclusions:

* Standard Starship is probably good enough for HLS

* Simple coatings and/or a specific orientation makes things a lot better
Users will no longer have security updates from the actual makers, and the team that specializes and has built it is not able to touch the code (unless you use theirs)
Fly in fly out. It's common in Australia for mining and oil & gas workers to live in a capital city but fly into the work site. Their roster might be a week on followed by a week off or similar.

Who gets to define ‘technology’?’

Clearly no number of pseudonymous accounts on HN can decide anything on behalf of anyone else.
Thank you for providing a reference. Sight unseen, I'm inclined to think that SpaceX is more likely right here. In particular part of the higher figure is a lower launch cadence. But SpaceX is building their technology around very rapid turnaround times. With multiple Starships, there is good reason to believe that they will not need to wait 6 days between launches.

Of course this depends on FAA permission. Whether they get FAA permission may well depend on who wins the election. Musk has gone out of his way to place a big bet on Trump, and it is clear that Trump will happily get rid of red tape for Musk in return. My read is that part of the reason why Musk placed that bet on Trump is because the Biden/Harris administration has already decided to place lots of red tape in Musk's way. At first as a reaction to Musk's hostility towards unions and COVID restrictions on manufacturing, and then as a reaction against what Musk was doing with Twitter.
> But let's instead compare the incomplete declarativeness of Prolog to a fully-imperative, zero-declarative language like Python or C#.

There's no such thing as "fully-imperative, zero-declarative language" -- at least not one as high level C# or Python -- because declarative/imperative are programming styles, which languages can make more natural but which are used with all (well, higher-level than assembly) languages.
you can kind of get an idea by looking up who owns it on your state's secretary of state website, if a personal name or an LLC with a local address is the owner it's probably local, but if it's an out of state address then you can probably google it and find out who's address that is associated with
I always assumed it was because FM station bandwidths (200kHz) are much wider than AM (10kHz). AM's 10 kHz chops off a lot of human-hearable frequencies.
I agree, but one oft neglected part of these things is the assumption that military and private companies are the same when we know they aren't.

The pay is one issue, but the social aspects are the much bigger issue.

In bureaucracy where jobs are almost impossible to be fired from for lack of adequate performance there is always an entrenched notion that anyone performing better is making everyone else look bad, and this results in sideband bullying, silencing, and various other forms of coercion which meet a definition of torture.

This is why Academia, and Government have such a hard time finding and keeping qualified people. Structurally, those in charge are the ones promoting negative production value, they may say otherwise but people lie all the time and its only rational to take people by their actions over what words they speak.

There is no amount of money that someone will justify selling/losing their sanity in exchange for money. Money isn't worth anything if you can't spend it.

If you sieve the entry with arbitrary requirements, while also making the job intolerable... of course you aren't going to attract talent.

Its not mainly a matter of money, or for that a matter of culture. Its a matter of structure, and structural failures that incentivize these deficits, they are the same deficits found in central planning.

If you can't relieve people for doing a bad job, you only ever attract parasites which crowd out your productive members, and eventually the reputation gets around and no one even bothers to apply or go down that path if they can avoid it. Couple that with systems which are designed to propagate evils without the individuals alerting to the fact, and who would risk their soul for a job?

The wisest understand that the job you choose can warp and defines you.
If you segment and compartmentalize information you'll never know when you commit attrocities, and you'll be equally responsible regardless of that knowing.

Overall, Government job? Academic Job? nope moving on.
Sanity, and religious beliefs are valued well above anything so base as money; but there are those types too.
It’s more than that. FM is several times less spectrum efficient than AM and needs more bandwidth to transmit the same information.

It's a joke to think trump cares about taking care of his own after all the evidence to the contrary. He throws everyone under the bus the first chance the gets.

> When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless and tell me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, "drop to your knees and beg," and he would have done it,"

Update: SpaceX has set the booster back down on the launch mount and reconnected the "quick disconnect" hoses that fill it with propellant before launch. If they refilled it with propellant they'd be close to launching it again! Presumably they will be draining it instead.

Apparently the rails that catch the booster can translate in and out relative to the "chopstick" arms so the booster can be positioned and rotated to match the launch mount after landing.

Your expectations are correct - there's a strong correlation between the two.

One of Matt's complaints was that WPE disabled revisions...which JetPack (owned by Automattic) suggests to do in order to improve performance. https://jetpack.com/blog/wordpress-revisions/

I ran servers for an agency with ~1200 WordPress installs on Azure VMs, and I disabled revisions on every one of the sites. How is that different? Did I fiddle too much, despite it being in official documentation on how to do so? Even despite it being actually recommended by Automattic itself for performance improvements? Many of his complaints don't add up. The copyright and WP confusion, I get...but the rest is largely non-sense. Even his Stripe/Woocommerce complaint is largely bunk.

The best outcome is for Matt to step down, Wordpress.org/WP Foundation gets sold to multiple hosting providers (WordPress.com, WPE, 1&1, GoDaddy, etc) and they all commit x amount of money to the project (given it is a very important platform for all of them) and in exchange WPE drops its suit. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen, because some of this seems very ego driven.
One thing to note though:

An EE can do a CS Masters Or a EE Masters

But a CS can’t do an EE masters

So I guess EE gives you more opportunities than just doing CS
There is no such evidence. You're just making things up. No one has described a scientifically plausible scenario for actual danger.
Lua does mean Luna, just in a slightly different language.
>Synthetic data can never contain more information than the statistical model from which it is derived: it is simply the evaluation of a non-deterministic function on the model parameters. And the model parameters are simply a function of the training data.

The Information in the data isn't just about the output but its rate of occurrence/distribution. If what your base model has learnt is only enough to have the occasional flash of brilliance say 1 out of 40 responses and you are able to filter out these responses and generate as much as you like then you can very much 'bootstrap a better model' by training on these filtered results. You are only getting a function of the model's parameters if you train on its unfiltered, unaltered output.
It's so low traffic that you don't want to pay the minimum $35/mo for a PostgreSQL instance on AWS maybe. Or you're required by policy to have a single-tenant architecture, but a full always-on database server would be overkill.
Honestly I can tell which ones they are. I've noticed it in our area, it's like some unlabeled class problem. The websites and advertising are different, they approach everything differently. Everything is very overpriced and there's lots of bs that goes on with proposed work, and you can tell the tradesmen and techs have a very different relationship with the rest of the company.

Finding a company that grew organically and is not PE owned is noticeably different, I can tell which ones they are and they often refer to each other.
For the first part, true, probably.

For the second, I don't know anything about it

For the Uighurs, there are allegations of 25.000 murders a year for organ harvesting in the Xinjiang.

It's well known in government that if you don't spend all your budget (meaning you were successful), your budget gets cut.

It is indeed ridiculous, but true.
Yes, this is the right answer, although I would correct the numbers a bit.

If we look only at the audio bandwidth, AM stations are limited to 5 kHz of audio spectrum. The 10 kHz figure comes from the fact that AM is double sideband modulation (as opposed to single sideband as used in ham radio and other radio services). So the broadcast signal uses twice the bandwidth of the audio.

FM stations have 15 kHz of audio bandwidth, three times that of AM. They are able to do this because they transmit at a much higher frequency.

The 200 kHz figure includes other things like stereo (two channels of audio), subcarriers for RDS data and such, and the "Carson bandwidth rule" that 'basementcat' mentioned.

I am surprised that the article overlooked this simple and obvious explanation.
Somewhere, a programmer created a 4096 character buffer and sought the next '\n' only to be defeated by Tibetan.
I don’t think anyone besides a few Spanish and Italian ultranationalists are interested in claiming Columbus’s “accomplishments.” Any evidence of Columbus being Jewish is mostly interesting for anthropological and historical reasons, not chest-beating ones.

That seems to me to be a limited vision. The existing, specialized robots (dish washer, vacuum, etc) would be controlling by a master AI, which would potentially be within or also coordinating the humanoid. The humanoid robot itself would actually help with things the others can't handle, such as loading the dishwasher or carrying the vacuum up/down the stairs. And waiting humans at a party/bar/dinner for example, instead of inventing even more specialized robots for each.
If "humanity only has 4 years left", then what's the point in "getting your affairs in order"?

Listento is a fantastic service but I don't use it that often to justify a subscription and it's overkill for what I need.
I love this stuff because it's so counterintuitive until you've worked through some of it. There was an article linked to on HN a while back about high-dimensional Gaussian distributions that was similar in message, and probably mathematically related at some level. It has so many implications for much of the work in deep learning and large data, among other things.

None of this is true, for various reasons. Psilocybin and LSD are qualitatively different above very low doses. They have a lot in common, but only a person that is basically unfamiliar with one or both would call them identical. The experiences become more distinct the higher the dose.

Psilocybin/psilocin has different binding affinities than LSD, is metabolized differently etc. They are, quite simply, different drugs.

>The only thing with LSD is that it takes longer to completely clear out of your system (because it is already extracted in pure form, while shrooms have to be digested/processed by your system in a less efficient/effective way

This is borderline gibberish. The “purity” of the “extraction” (???) has nothing to do with metabolism, protein binding or excretion. The LSD expense typically lasts longer because… it is a different drug. Your body treats it differently than psilocybin because it is different from psilocybin.

And the molecules do not look that much alike, unless you think that all indoles look alike. Even if they did, molecules that look alike do not necessarily act alike (eg H2O and H2O2)

Somewhere between $30 and $150/kg. Depends a lot on how reusable Starship is and that's not something which will be known for a while.
Great read. Reminds me of "The Miracle of Mindfulness"
Ah that’s fair I guess.

Still sad cause the airframes can’t be replaced :(
Seems safer to clone the source code and build the OG locally if banking security is that important.
That's a very interesting use case. Given that your "players" aren't guaranteed to be local to the DO, doesn't using DOs only make sense in high-traffic situations again? Otherwise you might as well just serve the players from a conventional server, no?

CRDTs really do sound amazing, though.
How does a Jew discovering the Americas benefit the Spanish regime when the Spanish Catholic monarchy precisely kicked all Jews and Muslims from the peninsula with their ill-named "reconquista"? If this turns out to be true, then it'd be rather embarrassing.

Presumably this Lorente has more evidence he hasn't put on display, so it isn't completely baseless either.

It's certainly sketchy and not very scientific, though, per the same criticism outlined in the article.

I also don't understand why people get a boner with Columbus. It is since the Greeks that people knew the world was not flat, and the vikings (presumably Leif Erikson) landed in Canada much earlier after a quick hop from Greeland. The only questions left at that point were: how big is that land over there, and can you get to India traveling West? It's all good and stuff, but not mind-blowing to me.
No. I don’t plan for the future in any case because I can’t predict what might happen. And I certainly don’t make decisions because of what someone else predicts. Do you think people should alter their life plans because of predictions around climate change? The second coming of Jesus?

I prefer to deal with the reality of now, not worry much about what could happen, and keep myself adaptable.
I think it would have been more polite if they all converted to Judaism is cultural unity was the goal.
better weather forecasting (launching and replacing the existing old satellites) seems useful. starlink has already been a game changer in communities experiencing natural disasters and is now coming to commercial airplanes.

so there’s something at least. :)
That is a good observation, and I agree.
Thanks, added that to my post.
Also the audio frequency bandwidth is narrower on AM, so fewer treble frequencies.

TBH I think music from up to the late '60s (especially if originally released in mono) sounds really good, or at least more "era-appropriate" on AM radio. I remember my grandparents tuning in to easy-listening AM stations as I grew up in the '70s and '80s, to my ear Tennessee Ernie Ford's "16 Tons" or a classic Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" production sounds more "right" coming through the AM bands.

And, in the age of cellphone speakers and compressed MP3/Bluetooth codecs - I'm not sure how much people actually care about audio quality.
You forgot to mention the fact that retired members can be recalled, that would dramatically factor into the calculations.

As well as the fact that many roles are tied to holding an active clearance, and while some things would be available in those amounts, debt generally is not one of them (a big opportunity cost).
Buddhism explores these ideas too.

When I read the title and the first sentence I immediately thought of partial writes, one of those things that a lot of people seem to ignore until things stop working, often intermittently. I don't work with Node.js, but I've had to fix plenty of network code that had the same bug of not handling partial writes correctly.

I thought gpt-4o and o1-preview would be able to do this pretty easily, but surprisingly not.

You're surprised that AI doesn't work? I'm not.

Is it just due to numbers? Middle East conflict has Muslims all over the world engaging and amplifying the issue. But there are few Tibetans and no allies of theirs to really speak of in the same way (as with the international Muslim community).
New features requires work. Donations require charity, which doesn't exist in the mind of someone who does that
I almost have the opposite view:

When starting out you can get away with using a simple Postgres database. Postgres is fine for low-traffic projects with minimal latency constraints, and you probably want to spend your innovation tokens elsewhere.

But in very high-traffic Production cases with tight latency requirements, you will start to see all kinds of weird and wacky traffic patterns, that barebones Postgres won't be able to handle. It's usually in these cases where you'd need to start exploring alternatives to Postgres. It's also in these cases where you can afford to hire people to manage your special database needs.
Far easier to have activity monitoring and logging, alerting and pausing on anything suspicious. The rogue operator will then be investigated and terminated, or even arrested, if need be.
What I’ve never understood is how the FM receiver can lock on to the signal if its frequency is always changing. Doesn’t the receiver need to lock on to something? If the answer is “it locks on to the amplitude, which doesn’t change,” well AM is bad because the amplitude is subject to interference, so wouldn’t FM have the same problem?
Adding a font is just `#set text(font: "besley")` or you can use a list for fallback like `#set text(font: ("jost", "noto sans")`. Then you can select weight, italic/bold, opentype features, ligatures, etc. as options on `text` with the same syntax.

You can see all the options for `text` here: https://typst.app/docs/reference/text/text
It will likely need some reorganization in time, but is quite functional.

The command line comes with a few defaults such as the open source Libertinus for text or New CMM for math, but may fall back to your System fonts for characters like emoji (and there are flags to disable system fonts). You can also set a specific path to look up font files.

And then the web app has plenty of fonts in an extensive dropdown, and supports dropping in custom font files that will be automatically recognized.

I believe one current limitation is bitmap fonts not working properly, but that is being actively developed by a contributor.

I'm optimistic that Typst won't run into the issues you mention. I see it as doing well at incorporating the knowledge of the past into simpler, better interfaces.
