They on occasion talk about the process to make boards that are ready
for manufacturing.

They talk about the difference between boards that will
me be made in small quantities (less than 100) or large (10,00k to 1 Million)
The rule of thumb they used was BOM (Bill of Materials) should be 30% of the
retail cost of the board. Large scale manufacturing can lower the the percentage.

Remember the cost of firmware (hours paid to develop) is not included in the BOM
cost but is divided up over the number of units made using that firmware revision.

There are also design to manufacturing issues to take into account. Designing to make the manufacturing easier is above and beyond just making a functional board that works but is hard and expensive to manufacture.
Yeah, you could do that with a hobby garden, let alone a real farm.
Where do you go for this information though? I think that's the tool that many people struggle to understand here. If you have the desire to learn more, how do you get there?

It's a variable or config that gets injected into a server at runtime. At least that's what I've heard it called in the past. I think it's interchangeable with environment variable.

Many mainlanders see shitshow of TW legislature brawls and think no thanks. They'd prefer quiet CCDI purges etc, not sarcasm. Like most of the PRC disaphora who moves abroad in advanced economies think democratic voting / political process is a joke after a few election cycles.

I don't know where this idea that CCP thinks Chinese people are unsuitable for democracy comes from except for repeating LIO autocracy vs democracy propaganda that insist so. CCP advertises itself as whole process democracy even, because it likes the idea of having democratic processes. If anything CCP already thinks itself democratic, more/better than 1 person 1 vote. CCP also doesn't give a shit what model is on TW, they once offered TW 1country2systems+ model where TW got to keep their political system AND military in exchange for on paper reuninfication and some foreign policy concessions (security). It matters little how TWnese conduct themselves, PRC wants political reuninfication foremost. It's about land, and always has been.

Not disputing it, but people don't pick Python because they need the fastest language, they pick it for friendly syntax and extensive and well-supported libraries. I loved Lisp, but none of the lisps have anything like Python's ecology. Julia, even less so.

People don't pick languages for language features, mostly. They pick them for their ecosystems -- the quality of libraries, compiler/runtime support, the network of humans you can ask questions of, etc.
No one wants the reverse, I would love if my microservices were perfectly isolated little boxes with known inputs and outputs! That would make my life easier.

Common Lisp is probably not a good point of comparison. It offers comparable (if not more) dynamism to Python and still remains fast (for most implementations). You can redefine class definitions and function definitions on the fly in a Common Lisp program and other than the obvious overhead of invoking those things the whole system remains fast.
I enjoyed the detailed explanation of how he moved from point to point. I imagine it wasn't as straightforward as is laid out in a blog post

It would be interesting to see what I imagine to be the reams of notes from one of these to show how much time and effort it takes to perform this kind of attack.
Technically a pension is a trust that is independent from the employer. Its duties are to hold the shareholders (employees) funds. The issue is that the trustees is most likely the employer. So in the event of a employer insolvency, the pension is not affected by.

I find it a little annoying that in the paper[0] they show various graphs of megabytes saved in the paper, but no actual size of the binaries that these policies are applied to, as far as I can tell.

So when they say the inline policies end up saving 20 MiB on the training data, and then only a few megabyte on a different binary not in the training data, I lack the context to really judge what that says. Is the other binary much smaller? The same size? What if it's bigger and therefore hides a much smaller relative size savings?

At the very end of the paper do they mention one binary size: namely that they save about 3 MB on the Chrome on Android binary, which is 213.32 MB after implementing the policy. A solid 1%, probably makes an enormous difference at Google Scale, especially for their main Android browser, so I hope it's obvious that I'm not trying to diminish the achievement of these people. But I find the other benchmarks kind of hard to interpret.

The data was produced using this script: https://github.com/afiodorov/imdb-sql/blob/main/notebooks/im...

It is on hosted on http://www.imdb-sql.com/imdb01-11-2024.parquet

In fact the main reason this project exists is

a) I wrote a jupyter notebook ages ago that'd join the raw data into a queryable form.

b) I committed it and forgot about it after the initial viewing of top movies/series.

c) For the Halloween I wanted to find a good-rated horror movie, a genre I don't watch much.

d) I found my notebook but it was a drag to get it running again, first pandas would keep throwing OOM errors so I had to migrate to polars. Secondly I had to find a spare working laptop since iPad is my primary off-work computing device as of late. Finally the schema is not so intuitive - I need to look up things like region/language codes.

I want something I can just leave unattended but still be able to use a few months later without going through a dev-env set-up. A static website with all the data is one potential way of avoiding maintaining it as it should keep running, just like an exe would keep running on Windows in the past.

Show HN: ExtReviewBot – Browser Extension Review Tracking and Analytics
Hey HN!

As extension developer, I always struggled to keep up with user feedback across different platforms. So, I built ExtReviewBot to solve this problem for myself and thought it might help others too.

ExtReviewBot is a simple tool that:

- Tracks reviews for your extensions across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge stores

- Sends instant notifications for new reviews (through Slack)

- Provides weekly or monthly summaries

- Analyzes sentiment and identifies trends

I'd love to get your feedback. What features would make it more useful for you? Any suggestions for improvement?

Let me know what you think!
yes, this is what happens when you dont work on the next generation
Numpy is not fast enough for actual performance sensitive scientific computing. Yes threading can help, but at the end of the day the single threaded perf isn't where it needs to be, and is held back too much by the python glue between Numpy calls. This makes interproceedural optimizations impossible.

Accellerated sub-languages like Numba, Jax, Pytorch, etc. or just whole new languages are really the only way forward here unless massive semantic changes are made to Python.
Data stored in another country: are their reciprocal prosecution agreements with that country?

Raiding AWS: call Amazon, provide subpoena, Amazon can either give access to the account or provide copies of data. This would only allow access to non-customer encrypted data.

I played with encryption schemes and obfuscation pretty heavily for a long time, but at the end of the day companies operate within the legal frameworks of the countries they reside in. If you don’t cooperate, you could end up in jail anyway.

I think the conclusion I’ve come to is that you have to play by the rules. If you don’t like them, is it really worth falling on the sword for a corporate entity?
I am of the opinion that the Free Market is a fiction which has never existed and can never exist. The belief in a fictitious "Free Market" which is just a platonic ideal, is equally as ideological as a Marxist belief in a "new man" that arises from living under Socialism, however one of these ideas is considered hocum and the other is orthodoxy that is taught in elite universities.

People who defend capitalism will point out that "well there is some market inefficiency (government interference, authoritarianism, subsidies) that actually makes this not real capitalism". In this example Saudi Arabia is a monarchist petrostate spending government money on stupid projects, so that's actually "not capitalism".

This is the same as the meme of people saying "not real communism" when someone asks how they feel about Lenin murdering a bunch of people.

Instead we should understand that capitalism is about private ownership of property, NOT a fictitious "Free Market" as Milton Friedman tried to re-center the conversation around. Understanding that capitalism is about ownership, and not markets, makes it clear that authoriatrianism and capitalism go hand-in-hand, as a strong and violent government exists to enforce the property rights of the owning class. The power structure of Saudi Arabia is fully compatible with capitalism as it exists throughout the "west" or the "free world".

I tried hosting several small-size LLM models. It requires lots of work, but it’s worth it to customize my own sick chatbot. However, hosting a large model with billions of params is super painful and expensive.

Guaranteed annuities have the same problem: who's paying workers in their old age, and what happens when that entity becomes insolvent? Nothing is truly guaranteed in finance, especially when life expectancies rise faster than the pension scheme assumed.
At some point governments will catch up and start taxing based on percentage of global revenue or even turnover.

Maybe this is the part I misunderstood, what kind of "server" are we talking about? I understood it to mean "machine".

Correct, and it could be implemented as a power law formula that makes it impossible for the super rich to avoid tax (since they are the only ones that can spend a lot). It also aligns incentives with environmentalism and reducing waste and consumption. And poorer people are automatically exempted from tax since the power law formula parameters be set to slowly ramp up.

This is also easily accomplished now that almost all payments are happening digitally, assigned to a taxpayer ID#. We can easily replace a W-2 or 1099 with total spending instead of taxing working.

Of course, this should also be paired with similarly designed land value and estate taxes to disincentivize hoarding.
The pension funds are protected, but that does not mean anything close to your promised benefit is available for you to receive. It also creates a recurring liability that the company is on the hook for. This has historically worked out to cases where employees must either get a partial payout from available funds and tank the loss, or have the company fold and everyone gets laid off.

Pensions are a better deal until they catastrophically fail.
Ha, interesting proposition. What do you think would be the alternative to DNA? I'm curious as I'm a complete layman. Intuitively, I'd think that a self replicating life form will need something to carry it's program, and this is what DNA is. Alien life might use different molecules to carry that program, but conceptually it would be the same, no?

I'd even go as far as to say that DNA arose out of the fact that carbon based chemistry is good for life (we see N=1 case at least), and once we accept carbon based chemistry, amino-acids are the next optimal step, followed by something like the DNA to program the construction of proteins for amino acids.

Again, I'm just a layman so it'd be nice to know the views of experts in this area.
> you either insist on it and say it's the only supported developer-environment-defining framework, or you will lose control over it

That's true for any architectural decision in an organization with more than 1 person.

It's really not something that should make you reconsider a decision. At the end of the day, an architecture that "people" actually want to use doesn't exist, "people" doesn't want any singular thing.
Some cool stereo effects, but not something I'd ever want to listen to. I don't see anything interesting about putting nature sounds and a Pink Floyd sample over a very repetitive electronic loop. Maybe I didn't get far enough, since it's 20 goddamn minutes long. To me, Vogue is ear candy. De gustibus!
This is slavery which is the opposite of a free market. On a free market everyone's freedom is protected.

This might be the most misunderstood aspect of what a free market means. It does not mean that you're free to violate freedom of others. It means that everyone is free to buy and sell any product or service while consenting to do so under full information symmetry. You're not allowed to violate others right to do so; using violence, lying or any form of dishonesty, which happens in this case.

I'm not saying that free markets solve everything. For example, a worker might accidentally sign a contract which turns out to be exploitative. Which means that the laws about exploiting or harming anyone must override any free market contracts.
Stage trees if I recall were the subject of a series of science fiction stories. They grew as boosters essentially, ignited at some point to launch and spread their seeds. If they grew for a long time without igniting, they might leave the planet.

Because poor people have very little recourse against bad actors. If you accidentally dusted Glendale with possibly harmful pesticides you would have hundreds of lawsuits against you.

It's obviously worse in some places than others, but world governments are generally complicit and see it as a fair price to pay for continued economic partnership and/or military alliance.
The point is that Intel, like any other organization of such size, is too big not to fail. This does not mean that failure cannot be redefined.
> By their nature, microservices require you to define what each service is responsible for. Akin to waterfall development, this means making structural choices before you’ve had a chance to observe the system. These definitions inevitably end up being incorrect, as you know the least about your domain in the beginning.

This is a terrible analog. Interfaces, versioning, and composite services address all of this.

Exactly. From the article:

> Professionalizing management, better bargaining over expenses, some degree of appeals over property tax, and better access to capital markets therefore enable institutional investors to improve their cost structure

where 'some degree of appeals over property tax' is linked here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4269561

I am not a subscriber so can't read the details, and nothing about appeals is mentioned in the abstract.

Also before you start whingeing about how it’s de facto slavery, please tell me when it wasn’t de facto slavery in Saudi Arabia?
