There are certain workloads that have never been really economical to run in cloud. Cloud economics is based on multi-tenancy, eg if you have a lot of hardware that is sitting idle a lot of the time, then cloud may be economical for you as the cloud provider can share it between you and others.

Cloud is also good for episodic use of expensive exotic systems like HPC and GPU fleets, if you don’t need them all the time- I call this serial multi-tenancy.

Cloud is not economical for massive storage, especially if you’re not willing to use backup solutions and reduced availability. For example, AWS S3 default keeps multiple copies of uploaded data; this is not comparable to typical on-premises RAID 1 or RAID 3. You can save money with reduced redundancy storage but then you have to take on more of the reliability burden. Likewise compute is cheap if you’re buying multi-tenant instances, but if you want dedicated instances or bare metal, then the economics aren’t nearly as attractive.

Cloud is also good for experimentation and rapid development - it’s so much faster to click a few buttons than to go through the hardware acquisition processes at many enterprises.

The companies that regret cloud due to financial concerns usually make two mistakes.

First, as noted above, they pay for premium services that are not directly comparable to on-prem, or they use workloads in cloud that are not cloud economical, or both.

Second, they don’t constrain random usage enough. It is super easy for a developer doing some testing to spin up thousands of dollars of bill. And it’s even worse if they leave it at the end of the day and go home- it’s still racking up hourly usage. And it’s downright ugly if they forget it and move on to something else. You have to be super disciplined to not spin up more than you need and turn it off as soon as you’re done with it.
I'm personally convinced that the reason the conditional operator of called "the ternary operator" it's that the ANSI C Programming Language book contains the phrase "the ternary operator, ?:", and a lot of readers didn't know what "ternary" meant and thought it was a name.
BTW a more guidelines-compliant response to what you're asking would have been:

"What leads you to believe that that's actually the case (that NATO was about to, or was likely at some point down the road to do that)?"

Given that in the 30 years since the fall of the USSR, NATO still hasn't stationed nukes in any of the newer member countries, nor would there be any strategic benefit for them to do so.
I mean; it's impossible to plan for everything, and I'd argue that if you actually did plan for everything; it would be so extraordinarily overbuilt that it couldn't be considered 'correct'.
Can’t decide if irony or surprise at the empirical naïveté is surprising me more about a HN comment advocating for blacklisting once-failed founders.
Engineers build cars and buildings for humans too. But before we worry about ergonomics and how good it makes the people feel, we focus on cars not exploding and bridges not buildings not falling down.

We haven't even gotten to that level with software, forget improving people's lives.
It's also tooling. Professional grade PCB design software can be acquired for a few kilobucks per year and OSS versions (KiCAD) are pretty useable. Professional grade IC design software is hundreds of thousands per year and open source competitors are barely usable in comparison. I do share your hopes though, democratizing IC design even a little would be a huge boon to hardware development.

There is practically zero enforcement. Criminalise hiring illegal workers while stepping up enforcement and you dramatically reduce the value of illegal migration while shutting down large sections of the economy, thereby prompting supply-side inflation.

We don’t do it because this is a politically convenient middle ground that keeps illegal labor in the system while segregating it from competing with most of us. (Put another way: we have a regulated and an unregulated labor market. We like the fruits from the latter.)
It’s hard for me to decide if I think this is exasperating the issue or simply leaning into the new reality or both.
The people who complain about illegal immigrant labor in the US also like their cheap chicken and other fruits from illegal immigrant labor.

It's a weird case where one business undercuts another by hiring cheap labor, and then the other business has to do the same thing or else risk going out of business.

Better enforcement might help, but remember, people like cheap chicken; it doesn't matter which way you vote.
There are lots of shades of random. When the three-photon photoelectric effect will happen is random, but if you can find a way to bet against it, unless the odds are ridiculously skewed, you should.

"Personally owned computers—microcomputers, in the terminology of the day—were rare and were the domain of a few
hobbyists. Most were very small and generally lacked hard drives;
bulk storage was via audio cassette tape or (for the lucky few) on
floppy disks with a capacity of about 1.5 megabytes."

1.5 megabytes? Um, no. 3.5" floppies weren't out yet in 1979, and they were 1.44MB. 5.25" double-sided high-density floppies were 1.2MB, and I'm not sure they were were out yet either. I was using 8" floppies in 1979, and IIRC they were about 250KB
In the US, there is no reliable way to verify employment eligibility. What systems do exist tend to produce many false positives and false negatives. Furthermore, you are required to accept documents the demonstrate employment eligibility at face value, even if they are likely to be fraudulent.

In industries that famously have many illegal employees, the companies have cover because the employees always have fraudulent documents. And since the company is required to accept those documents and not discriminate, the company can't be held liable for hiring them even though they are illegal.

Underlying this situation is that it is unconstitutional for the Federal government to issue mandatory ids to citizens that could be used to reliably determine employment eligibility.
On the one hand the n'th derivative operator is clearly a binary operator that you are composing with a function application operator.

On the other hand, OP seems to have not noticed that the ternary conditional also has this structure. That is, `f : x` could be syntactic sugar for `f(() => x)` [or perhaps `f(p => p, () => x)` if you like Church encodings] and then there are a few options for meanings of `x ? y` that have `(x ? y) : z` as a conditional.
I don't agree that this is surprising. To be "dominant" in this space means more than raw performance or value. One must also dominate the details. It has taken AMD a long time to iron out a large number of these details, including drivers, firmware, chipsets and other matters, to reach real parity with Intel.

The good news is that AMD has, finally, mostly achieved that, and in some ways they are now superior. But that has taken time: far longer than it took AMD to beat Intel at benchmarks.

I think you’re ignoring an extremely real economic reality here. If this is what you want, maybe just get a chauffeur instead.
> His strategy is to put tariffs on chip imports and foreign chip manufacturers would have to build US based plants on their own dime.

The counter-argument (FWIW):

> Tariffs are paid by the importer and not the exporter. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) claims that tariffs would not cause fabs to be built in the US, due to the cost of the factories, which can run from $18bn to $27bn.

> "No tariff amount will equal the costs of ripping apart these investments and efficient supply chains that have enabled current US industry leadership," SIA said.

> It added: "Moreover, chip tariffs will drive away manufacturing in advanced sectors that rely on semiconductor technology, such as aerospace, AI, robotics, next-generation networks, and autonomous vehicles. If the cost of key inputs like semiconductors is too high, tech manufacturers will relocate out of the US, costing jobs and further eroding US manufacturing and technological competitiveness."

Foreign chipmakers would not pay the tariff (contrary to what Trump thinks) but their US customers, and what incentive to the foreign chipmakers to make changes? They're getting the same money and it's not costing them a dime. And where else are US businesses going to go for the product?

Sure, and the contract should be terminated.

Around ~2012 we were chilling on the terrace of a fancy office in the brisk morning (after a quick server migration in the datacenter on the ground floor, which of course turned into an all-nighter) as people were coming in to work, and then suddenly the folks coming in all looked the same, greenish uniform, some had SMGs, oh well.

We worked for a small company, so we knew that they're here for the big company that does credit card transactions, but it was both surprising and ... absolutely uneventful, they didn't even talk to us. (As we were leaving we didn't even run into them - at least I don't recall any interaction.)

Later the sysadmins of the big company had amazing stories about how the tax authorities wanted copies of every hard drive. And when they told them that, sure, sure, but things are on a RAID and without the config and the card it'll be useless. They didn't care of course :)
Because they voted for statehood in a referendum.

You can assume whatever you want, but your assumptions can never outweigh the assumptions of anyone else on HN… so the last sentence doesn’t make sense?

Plus listing past examples doesn’t indicate future possibilities must conform to that… unless there is a specific argument on why that should be the case on the balance of probabilities… so are you sure you understood my previous questions?
We’re migrating over a hundred apps to Azure App Service.

One has an issue with the platform-enforced HTTP timeout maximum values.

I migrated that app back to a VM in an hour.

It turns out that the “integration” for something like App Service (or CloudRun or whatever) is mostly just best practices for any kind of hosting: parameters read from environment variables, immutable binaries with external config, stateless servers, read only web app folders, monitoring with APMs, etc…

Sure, you’ll experience lockin if you use Durable Functions or the similar Lambda features… but no worse than any other workflow or business rules platform.

You can't just take crap data and compare it to a hard outcome and claim victory if you find a correlation.

Crap data is crap, no matter what you compare it to.
But the odds are ridiculously skewed - that's how it works. They're skewed so the house always wins, which means the customers, taken together, always lose. If everyone's betting against the three-photon photoelectric effect, you will be able to multiply your money by precisely 1.0 when your bet comes true and it doesn't happen, or maybe even 0.999.

> It gets even better if you're willing to privsep the torrent program, though that could take some refactoring.

Now you're talking about modifying the code substantially which is out of scope of the thought experiment.

Pledge can't really help with the torrent program since it needs to make new network connections and write and read arbitrary files constantly. Unless as you say, you substantially modify the code.

If substantially modifying the code is off the table, can you give an example of how pledge can prevent an attacker leveraging an RCE in the torrent program? To what extent would they be restricted? You can't say, limit execution to only certain files/libraries or restrict the ability to delete or overwrite files, right?

> Note that you can trivially do a looser sandbox around unmodified processes using exec pledges and unveil, even for proprietary code. These kinds of sandboxes need to be permissive,

Yeah, I wouldn't consider that to be a sandbox. Imposing limitations on a program isn't by itself a sandbox, nor is every instance of doing so sandboxing.
Legislation is meaningless if it is not going to be enforced or if it will be used to destroy competition. As in law enforcement cannot deal with all cases, but they certainly can be nudged to deal with businesses that corrupt government doesn't want operating.
I am not suggesting it as a solution, but after I made a political donation (not to ActBlue), the onslaught only really stopped after I moved and changed my phone number. I didn't move or change my number because of this, though.

Even now, years later, I still get the occasional spam related to it, but it's little enough to just be background noise.

Yes, state-issued IDs, the infallible line keeping underage drinkers out of bars.

For some reason the way Swift handles syntax I find less memorable or composable.
Given the broader state of the Python ecosystem, that is a red flag for me. Why would you add an OSS license but withhold the sourcecode?

The only reason I can think of is to "trick" people into downloading and betting that no-one actually checks the source, then hiding something in the .so files that are shipped as wheels. Tread carefully.

I thought about doing this as well but ended up viewing it personally as a "lose-lose" for myself rather than a "win-win". I wonder if that says anything about my risk-aversion.
I think that’s kinda the point that is being made.

Technolgy-wise, it is clearly feasible to aggregate the data to train an LLM and to release a product on that.

It seems that some would argue that was never legally a feasible thing to do, based on the training data being impossible to use legally. So, it is the existence of many of these LLMs that is (legally) untenable.

Whether valid or not the point may be mute because, like Uber, if the laws actually do forbid this use, they will change as necessary to accommodate the new technology. Too many “average voters” like using things such as ChatGPT and it’s not a hill politicians will be willing to die on.
if you believe in the wisdom of crowds, they are prediction markets. If you discount the wisdom of crowds, they are pure gambling.

I think they started being called prediction markets around the idea a few years back that we should allow "gambling" on events to predict events: if you allow betting on the date of the next terror attack, the terrorists will not be able to restrain themselves from insider trading, and bingo, you know when there will be a terror attack. The idea was that it was such a good idea, the FBI/CIA would run these things. But the public hated the idea so it got squelched.

This is all from my memory, which I wouldn't bet on.
Show HN: Im Building LimeJourney-Yet Another Open Source Customer.io Alternative
Hello HN - I’m Tobi and I am building LimeJourney. LimeJourney is an open source customer engagement platform, a Customer.io /braze etc alternative.

- For the past few weeks I have been hacking on LimeJourney during my free time and I’m inviting you to check it out and give your feedback. You can try out the demo with email and password demo@limejourney.com/demo@limejourney.com

- My Grand thesis for building LimeJourney is that the channels through which we currently receive notifications will not be changing anytime soon but with the increase in data - now more than ever - businesses that will catch the attention of customers are the ones who in some shape or form are intelligently sending notifications(possibly with AI).

- LimeJourney in its current form is very far off from what I hope for it to be but still solves a couple of issues I experienced when working on another project. LimeJourney is relatively cheap($50) - single base plan compared to the other big guys in the market(>$100). It is also open source and I’lld love to see folks who are able to, adopt and self host limeJourney. LimeJourney aims to play real nice with whatever you current email sending stack is and we already have integrations with Resend, AWS and are building more.

The codebase is on Github => https://github.com/LimeJourney/limeJourney

Thank you for checking this out. You can reach me at tobi@limejourney.com
"This is an idea that’s been around for a hundred years already,"

It's kind of funny to me that "a hundred years ago" has finally gotten to the point that we're still talking technology/industrial age and doesn't seem so old now. When I was a kid, a hundred years ago was still cart & buggy and other low tech things as the most common which made it feel like a really long time ago.
Even if the exporters are not directly paying the tariffs, their chips will cost consumers more, reducing the demand. So no; they’re not getting the same money.

X Elite is faster, but not enough to offset the software incompatibility or dealing with the GPU absolutely sucking.

Unfortunately for Intel, X Elite was a bad CPU that has been fixed with Snapdragon 8 Elite's update. The core uses a tiny fraction of the power of X Elite (way less than the N3 node shrink would offer). The core also got a bigger frontend and a few other changes which seem to have updated IPC.

Qualcomm said they are leading in performance per area and I believe it is true. Lunar Lake's P-core is over 2x as large (2.2mm2 vs 4.5mm2) and Zen5 is nearly 2x as large too at 4.2mm2 (Even Zen5c is massively bigger at 3.1mm2).

X Elite 2 will either be launching with 8 Elite's core or an even better variant and it'll be launching quite a while before Panther Lake.
As I mentioned, this is more than they would receive in Canada (and, because they are paid for overtime, weekends, etc., their actual salary would be significantly higher).

Their father is a GP and worked in the U.S. for about a decade. He was happy to return to Canada and not have to deal with HMOs and all the other crap. His clinic here has a single office worker handling billing for 5 or 6 doctors; in Indiana, they had at least one per doctor.

He actually said that his salary in Canada ended up being higher because of the lower administration costs, lower malpractice insurance, insurance companies refusing to pay the full invoices, etc.
Doesn't have to be targeted for it to be shitty behavior.
