If you want fast searching for some unique word or phrase across terabytes of logs (aka "needle in the haystack" type of search), then take a look at VictoriaLogs [1] (I'm the core developer). It uses bloom filters for quick skipping of data blocks, which do not contain the given word or phrase. Contrary to other open-source solutions for log storage and analysis, VictoriaLogs works efficiently with any types of logs containing any sets of fields, without the need in any configuration and tuning.

You avoid a seed phrase, but how? I thought it was "not your keys not your coin".

My understanding is someone who wants secure crypto needs to cryptographically safely generate a seed phrase. For signigicant amounts of money you will want that backed up. I guess if this is like a $50 gift card people are treating it like that and might accept if it gets lost then shrug.
I worked for a company that required security clearances. We used a SaaS to store some documents.
The SaaS gave our company a document outlining their security practices and we signed up to a system where their support is unable to access our instance unless we explicitly authorized it.
It was enough for our company.

IIUC, ChatGPT is making students dumber, as well as making them cheaters and liars.

There are some good ideas in the article, but are any of the cheaters going to be swayed, to change their cheating ways?

Maybe the intent of the article is to itemize talking points, to be amplified by others, to provide OpenAI some PR cover for the tsunami of dumb, cheating liars.

just wanna take this chance to say a huge thank you for all the amazing work you’ve done with Keras!

back in 2017, Keras was my introductory framework to deep learning. it’s simple, Pythonic interface made finetuning models so much easier back then.

also glad to see Keras continue to thrive after getting merged into TF, especially with the new multi-backend support.

wishing you all the best in your new adventure!

When I sell things, even large value things like houses/boats/cars, it's the most money with the least amount of hassle in that order that wins out. I'd love to know more deeply what I really want when selling something.

Electron beam welding requires a vacuum.[1] So that's a promising technique for space welding.

Until recently, the whole object had to be in vacuum.
A recent breakthrough is a welding head which creates a local vacuum around the welding area, rather than putting the whole object into a vacuum chamber. This allows automated welding of big, thick objects, all the way up to nuclear reactor pressure vessels.

Where's the snark though? jart's comment reads true literally.

Compile times are a big deal, and 'jart is right about individual vs. collective problems. And unlike most other critics on the Internet, 'jart actually provided a solution along with the criticism. If that kind of behavior "demotivates [some] people from maintaining popular projects", I still feel it's a net win.
It'd be more helpful if each benchmark lists whether it has Rosetta translation and if not, does it have ARM instruction optimization.

I don't know. I wish for them to succeed but as someone who's had a GOG account since before it officially launched, I have seen them claim to refocus on classics at least twice before, with meager effects. It's gotten bad enough that some games ostensibly under GOG's mission are actually better off on Steam and I don't think it's entirely on the publisher.

The examples chosen to hightlight the program on gog's own page for this initiative also do not fill with confidence. If you read between the lines it turns out that for instance it took them five years (!) to fix a crashing HoMM3 intro in a language they added, and likewise they only checked if Diablo/Hellfire even works on win 10/11 yesterday, years after they started selling it.

More power to them, if they keep at it, but I don't see anything to get excited over yet.
HyperDX looks great! Are you going to add support for other backends (aka data sources) in order to become "Grafana for logs" solution? For example, I'd be glad to see the support for VictoriaLogs in HyperDX.

If the party who chooses the service provider is not the same as the party who pays the fee then it is difficult for market forces to operate. Making the same party choose and pay can fix that.

This is a different problem than "the service provided isn't valuable".

Even that is a bit disingenuous when you consider the very minimal number of completely new lines that have been built since 1906 – basically only the Victoria line in 1968 and (depending on whether you only count real tube lines or not) the DLR in 1987.

(The Jubilee line in 1979 – which started out being manually driven – wouldn't count according to your criteria, because part of it was "made by splitting an existing line", and apart from being heavy rail, arguably Crossrail could be argued to be an extension, too, even though it does operate automatically on the new-built bits, i.e. the central section plus the Abbey Wood branch.)

Show HN: I created a tool that converts designs into responsive HTML email
Hey HN! Like many of you, I absolutely hate writing HTML emails. Nested tables everywhere, client compatibility issues, and that feeling when you need to modify something in those deeply nested elements... pure pain.

While there are plenty of drag-n-drop email builders out there, I still found myself diving into code for custom stuff. That's when I discovered MJML - it's amazing at handling all the tedious HTML email stuff and makes the code actually maintainable.

Then I thought - what if I could combine MJML with AI to just... look at a design and write the code for me? After a few months of development, I built [paste2email.com](http://paste2email.com).

How it works:

1. Paste your email design image (or just describe what you want in plain text)

2. The latest Claude-3.5-Sonnet(2024-10-22) model generates MJML code for you

3. Use the built-in variable system to easily swap content

4. See live preview(mobile & desktop) as MJML compiles to HTML

5. Export everything with Handlebars support - just plug in your variables and you're done

6. Connect it to your email service (like nodemailer) and ship it!

\To get you started, you’ll get 10 free credits. That’s enough to generate 3 emails and tweak one of them, or go for 2 emails with 4 rounds of refinements.

---

I built this specifically for developers who, like me, hate the tedious parts of HTML email development but need more control than drag-n-drop builders offer.

Would love to hear your feedback! You can try logging in with email to check out an actual email I created using this tool.
Hi Francois, congrats on leaving Google!

ARC and On the Measure of Intelligence have both had a phenomenal impact on my thinking and understanding of the overall field.

Do you think that working on ARC is one of the most high leverage ways an individual can hope to have impact on the broad scientific goal of AGI?
I encountered similar situation twice and AWS did not issue a refund both times. I'm avoiding AWS like plague now. Not going to rely on goodwill of support person handling my ticket today.
TB of S3 storage is surprisingly inexpensive though. Especially compared to everything else AWS.
My first line of research when I have to use something new is: Can I get a fixed bill every month? What happens if I use more than that, can I limit surprises? If not, I will find something else. We are also very careful with building us into "free" google services after the map surprise a few years ago. That cost us a lot of money in the end.

Assuming that this or something substantially identical does land for C++ 26 I think we should start betting on when SG23 (the committee's Study Group for "Safety and Security") is replaced by some hypothetical SG24 "Safety and Security No But Really".

We already know that because C++ Undefined Behaviour can cause what are called "Time Travel" defects and this paper doesn't do anything to prevent it, adding contracts in C++ can make your software less safe and induce more surprise behaviour. We also already know that C++ programmers tend to write erroneous UB tests when trying to grapple with edge cases that might induce Undefined Behaviour, setting off the very calamity they fear. So this new feature, rather than being (as its proponents claim) a way to improve the safety of C++ software, or neutrally becoming a dead letter as the UB "passes" contracts that in fact are not met, might instead become another footgun for the language.

A functioning SG23 should have caused this proposal to stall out until it can explain how it will prevent this problem, rather than merely re-stating the problem (in 3.6.4) and saying well that's unfortunate but maybe somebody else will fix it. That stance might be extremely unpopular with some C++ programmers, who believe they don't make mistakes, but as it stands this work will instead cause all the people who do make mistakes (which is in practice everybody) to regret using contracts. If SG23 isn't interested in preventing C++ from becoming even more unsafe, what's the point in the group existing?

Hey,I really liked your little book of deep learning, even though I didn't understand everything in it yet. Thanks for writing it!
Yes, this is one of the approaches mentioned in the article and is indeed a valid approach. One thing to keep in mind is that we are already operating the TimeSeries service for a lot of other high ROI use cases within Netflix. There already exists a lot of automation to self-provision, configure, deploy and scale TimeSeries. There already exists automation to move data from Cassandra to S3/Iceberg. We somewhat get all that for free. The Counter service is really just the Rollup layer on top of it. The Rollup operational nuances are just to give it that extra edge when it comes to accuracy and reliability.

Hello HN! Lead dev of WebVM and CTO of Leaning Technologies here.

Happy to answer any question.
I feel this way about pretty much every aspect of AWS I have touched in my career. Overly bloated, overly complex or weird home brew implementation for no clear gain.
The current version of Java is 23.

If version 8 is still a relevant target, there's a problem.
That doesn't matter when it comes to concepts/ideas which are useful overall. In this context DbC is a general idea/technique (derived from the Floyd/Hoare/Dijkstra school of "Program Correctness") useful for "large scale" Software Engineering.

> successful than 99.9% of companies out there

Depends on how you define that, I’d bet that 99.9% of all companies aren’t losing billions of $ every quarter while their revenue is declining even more. Also while simultaneously failing in pretty much every market segment they operate in..
After handling so many of these cases I decided to build a solution that helps with cost monitoring and optimization. It's a single click integration with AWS and Azure.
We're currently working on a solution for these specific cases as well, would love to hear some feedback.

We were billed about $5000 per month by Google even though we had asked what the billing change would mean for us and they said you will be inside the free limits. Turns out we weren't.
I know it’s minor in comparison, but I will never use AWS again after running up a $100 bill trying to get an app deployed to ECS. There was an error (on my side) preventing the service from starting up, but cloud waatch only had logs about 20% of the time, so I had to redeploy five times just to get some logs, make changes, redeploy five more times, etc. They charged me for every single failed deploy.

After about two days of struggling and a $100 bill, I said fuck it, deleted my account and deployed to DigitalOcean’s app platform instead, where it also failed to deploy (the error was with my app), but I had logs, every time. I fixed it in and had it running in under ten minutes, total bill was a few cents.

I swore that day that I would never again use AWS for anything when given a choice, and would never recommend it.
International, though admittedly it was regional.
why not? Having the specs and benchmark results for both CPUs in a table gives a good overview.

What advantage would it bring to manually write such comparison tables?

e.g. for me. I never dared to get my foot wet with AWS, despite interest. Better safe with a cheap, flat-rate VPS than sorry.

I don’t know that I completely agree. Yes, many elements are similar, but a carbon road bike with disc brakes, electronic shifting, deep wheels, radar, a computer and tubeless 28mm or 30mm tyres is an actual wonder to ride.

IMO just get ISO 27001 to demonstrate that you are managing the sensitive information properly, and you will also improve your client confidence.

I work as ISO 27001 auditor, and help companies get ISO 27001 certified in no time (1-2 months), with a budget from 5k - 8k in total (external support and certification included). The goal it to keep it simple, save costs, and in the end get the company certified.

> It's actually not a Gboard bug, but rather a side effect caused by a design choice of Gboard…

It’s definitely a bug, because the design choice they made breaks invariants and causes buggy behaviour in otherwise functioning code.

Otherwise it would be like saying “segfaulting randomly is actually not a bug, but rather a side effect caused by a design choice we made to have sloppy code and terrible memory management”.
Not crashing, just the intros don't get played. Considering the intros and how stilted they are, it was probably thought to be a feature.

Honestly? All the better. There are obviously use cases where AWS is the right tool for the job but it's extremely rare. It's coasting on hype and somehow attaining "no one was ever fired for buying IBM" status.
I don't care enough about Musk to know what his views on short selling are but him betting against Kamala is not remotely similar to short selling.

Betting "against" outcome A is absolutely no different than betting "for" outcome B when there are only 2 possible outcomes of the election, its entirely semantics.

And there is no unlimited downside to the bet like there (theoretically) is with short selling.
It would be interesting to test adults with the same tests that students were given. Plus some more esoteric knowledge. What they learned at school could then be compared to see new information that they learned after school... as well as information, skills that they didn't use after school. It may help focus learning on useful skills knowledge that people have learned... as well as information that they didn't learn in school that would be useful for them!
It's not just AWS. I think there are only two types of cloud providers: The ones like AWS and DigitalOcean that shift the risk to the customer and the ones that offer shady "unlimited" and "unmetered" plans.

Neither is what I want. I wish there was a provider with clear and documented limits to allow proper capacity planning while at the same time shifting all the availability risk to the customer but taking on the financial risk. I'd be willing to pay a higher fixed price for that, as long as it is not excessive.
Ask HN: What are the risks of NFC-scanning your passport on LinkedIn?
Microsoft LinkedIn is asking you to NFC-scan your passport to get a "Verified" badge (not sure what being verified does, perhaps nothing, but they sure want you to get it). They use a third-party startup called Persona to implement the NFC-scan; https://withpersona.com/solutions/persona-marketplace seems like they mainly focus on KYC, AML, fraud detection and such. What are the potential risks of uploading NFC passport data to a startup which shares data with LinkedIn? Can the holder of this NFC data then use it to impersonate me on other sites that require passport verification?

Is It Time to Step Away from Coding After 10 Years?
After more than a decade of daily coding, I'm questioning whether to step back. When I take coding breaks, my energy and focus improve, but returning to coding brings back procrastination and fatigue. While I still enjoy the intellectual challenge, the industry’s saturation with AI tools has made coding feel less fulfilling and original. Financially, coding has been my best source of leverage aside from investing. For those who’ve stepped away, how did you find the courage to make the change and replace that leverage (and fun)?
Young Japanese computer hobbyists created a number of small games companies in the 1980s and 90s and many of them went on to become large world wide successes. Most people would be aware of the big dogs like Sega and Nintendo, but companies like HAL, Game Freak, Square, and Koei were all tiny startups at one point.

It seems implied in this article that Japan has struggled in consumer or business software of the sort that startups in SV make. It would be interesting to discuss why that is while they became quite successful in games software.
Sounds like cool tech, but why would I want to run Linux in my browser? What use cases does this enable?
