> People who are spending new car money are not going to settle for a product that requires planning and effort to be used outside of one's daily routine.

Maybe YOU won't, but others will.

I paid $60K for my Model 3 Performance. Yes, I chose to plan out my charging stops when I take my annual 1300 mile road trip from Portland to Santa Clara, or my recent 2,400 mile road trip from Portland to San Diego.

But I CHOSE to plan them. You don't HAVE to. The car's built-in nav will easy plan charging stops for you. I just choose to plan them out ahead of time (Using ABetterRoutePlanner.com) to min-max my charging time. IE, I can tell ABRP "This will be a stop where I expect to spend at least 30 minutes", and it will adjust the rest of the charging plan accordingly. Or I can tell it to stop at specific chargers that might have a specific place I want to eat, or whatever, but my usual workflow is to set all my destinations (actual destinations, not including chargers), hit Plan Drive, and then make some minor adjustments to the charging plan.

I suppose in some way, I'm sort of proving your point. But it's not nearly the chore you make it out to be. In fact, I actually enjoy the planning. Of course, one person's joy is another's drudgery.
Oh that makes sense, neat way of doing it. Basically adds a delay while also costing CPU resources.
I probably don't have the chops to work at cloudflare, but if I did, the lan party invites would be a huge selling point.
It's not legal to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Why is it legal to yell "Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID" on the crowded internet? Is it the immediacy of the harm? Maybe it's not necessarily legal, just untested in court?
Obviously more by a huge margin by consuming mega yachts. But that’s still pretty insignificant compared to the economic impact of the companies that they run, like Amazon, Oracle and Tesla.

Could you elaborate a bit on spending efficiency and how it relates to wealth distribution? I’m unfamiliar with that metric.

The repeating air rifle with a 20 round magazine that Lewis and Clark brought on their expedition was invented over a decade before the ratification of the US Bill of Rights. If you're worried about capacity for indiscriminate violence, there were also cannons and grenades.

It won't work. Advertising, politics, media control, spam, religious and more groups, from a country in particular and all the world in general, are more than motivated to optimize what they do in any way, including making AIs hard to discern from real humans. We already have bots and fake accounts and whatever else in social networks trying to influence people from the dark, that will only increase.

And the alternative to that could be even worse than being exposed to that influence.

I've seen a few shared Mailpit installations in companies. I think that's a quite popular pattern.
Yeah, I went into the article thinking this because I expected someone had created waypoints right on top of each other and in the process also somehow generating the same code for them.

>Any aerospace engineer could credibly comment on the avionics.

This is central to the claim about the airworthiness of the aircraft. (And FWIW, aerospace engineer is generally not the same as someone who works on, or designs, avionics. The latter are typically more aligned with electrical engineering.)

>no one aside from another military pilot could judge the totality of that military pilot's judgment on that day.

I think this is being needlessly constrained. I would take the opinion of someone familiar with the specific comm/nav avionics of the F35 than, say, a military pilot that has never flown that airframe. I may even prefer an avionics tech’s opinion over that of the pilot, depending on the pilots technical knowledge. Given what we know about human psychology and memory, I don't even know if that specific pilot can give the most accurate representation of what was going on in the cockpit. A pilot can give great insight into crossing aspects, like human factors engineering, but they are not always the best at understanding the full system. It’s like when you talk to a high-level race car driver and find out they don’t actually know much about automotive engineering; sometimes their job doesn’t actually require that to perform at a high level.

I do agree with your overall sentiment though. All it takes is coming across a HN thread about something you're actually well-versed in to understand these types of forums are saturated with comments with more confidence than sense.
I dunno, does this SEP check only happen when the device is locked? I don’t recall that being mentioned.
I completely agree that the README could do a better job explaining the implementation details and our reasoning behind key design choices. For instance, we should elaborate on why we believe using PageRank offers a more effective exploration strategy compared to other GraphRAG approaches.

I don't know of anything that is completely broken, but some functionality requiers chrome:

On Google Docs, paste as markdown, copy and paste from menus, paste without formatting, etc. only works on chrome. This functionality could be done with standard APIs, but instead google uses a hidden, pre-installed extension to implement it.

Offline mode doesn't work on firefox for either gmail or google docs.

Google doodles don't show up on Firefox Mobile, unless you spoof a chrome user agent.

Youtube has repeatedly had serious performance problems on Firefox.
A lot of those checks exist solely on paper, and the people who should be enacting them can't look paat their noses in grift/short term political profit to do their jobs (be they senate majority leaders or supreme court justices or regular lawmakers). Hell, Trump refused to cede control of his businesses to a blind trust, and profited extensively (billing the state for his secret service detail having to stay at his resort while he's golfing) and used it to funnel money (various foreign entities paid obscene amounts of money to stay in his properties). Even just the last one should have been utterly disqualifying from an ethics perspective, and yet...

A coup was attempted (doesn't matter how poorly or clown-like, the intent is all that matters). Influence and favours were sold to other countries. None of this had any impact, even if the "checks" should have resulted in treason sentences.

There's not a lot of context for these notifications to work with, so it's not surprising they're bad, even though it is surprising they are this bad. (I wonder if it would be able to summarize the prior sentence!)

In some ways it reminds me of the titles that the OpenAI interface applies to our conversations. It has gotten better over time, but I still have it do weird things like provide titles in Spanish for Rust programming questions that used no language other than English.

When I wrote an AI assistant forever ago now, I kept tweaking the prompt to ask it for title summaries. At some point I had to start threatening the assistant so it would provide me the format I wanted with passive aggressive instructions like "Including semicolons or subtitles will mean you failed your task. You don't want to fail, do you?

Granted that was with GPT 3.5 so today's models should perform much better
This is correct, we encrypt data in-transit to the Regatta servers (using TLS), and we encrypt any data that the Regatta servers are storing. Of course, when Regatta communicates with S3, that's also encrypted with TLS (just like using the AWS SDK). However, we don't pass the encrypted data to S3, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read it from the bucket directly and use it in other applications!
> That might look like a "power move" by Germany but it looks absolutely weak in the eyes of Putin

Calling and talking with Putin as acting as some kind of "power broker" or "decider" (Bush junior's classic). I think that's the context there. That's after years of hand wringing, should we help, or shouldn't help, maybe help, but not too much and so on.

> Europe has been weak. The difference is Russia is weak while trying its hardest. Europe is weak because it can't bother to try

I agree, and I don't know if now it finally woke up or it hasn't yet. It's not over till it's over, as they say.

It’s involved in handling the keys but I don’t think disk is processed by the SEP. If it was the SEP could simply stop providing access.
Fun fact about Google Scholar: it’s "free", but it’s just another soulless Google product - no clear strategy, no support, and a fragile proprietary dependency in what should be an open ecosystem.

100 percent as good for 1/100 the price is where celebrity acting is headed. They will take roles for exposure and make their money on their brand, like influencer cattle. It will be the only way to compete with the human wave of extremely talented but unknown talent that currently can’t get parts, but who can absolutely wreck an audience as a human canvas upon which to render a studio owned character likeness.

Ben went and drank his own celebrity exceptionalism cool-aid.
Agreed. And most of the people with these attitudes have never written actual safety critical code where everything is written to a very detailed spec. Most likely the designers of the system thought of this edge case and required adding a runtime check and fatal assertion if it was ever encountered.

That's exactly right -- I like to think that we deliver on the promise of those open-source S3 adapters. We provide enterprise-grade performance.
In 2024, you are better off dropping the file system abstraction entirely and just embracing object storage abstractions (and ideally, immutable write-once objects).

Source: personal experience, I've done the EFS path and the S3-like path within the same system, and the latter was much easier to develop for and troubleshoot performance. It's also far cheaper to operate.

You can have local caching, rapid "read what I wrote", etc. with very little engineering cost, no one at my company is dedicated to this because the abstraction is ridiculously simple:

1. It's object storage, not a file system. Embrace immutability.

2. When you write to S3, cache locally as well.

3. When you read from S3, check the cache first. Optionally cache locally on reads from S3.

4. Set cache sizes so you don't blow out local storage.

5. Tier your caches when needed to increase sharing. (Immutability makes this trivially safe.)

All that's left is to manage 'checked out files' which is pretty easy when almost all of them are immutable anyway.

Yup. Contrary to popular belief, large or dominant businesses like regulation, as long as it favors them. Beyond regulatory capture to explicitly write regulations favorably specifically to the capturing companies (as Musk is doing), just the presence of a large burden of bureaucratic paperwork regulations favors large established players; they have the scale and excess capacity to handle the overhead, where another few percent of nonsense overhead burdens can crush a marginal but growing competitor.
We are looking at launching in Azure Cloud with support for Azure Blob Storage as the backend within the next 6 months. If there's a specific use case that you have, it would be helpful to share it with me at hleath [at] regattastorage.com so we can appropriately prioritize Azure against other cloud vendors and regions.
I would not expect it to show up as a storage device, no; the point of SDIO is that the SD slot is generic like a USB port. You would need software that can use the device you've plugged in just like if you plugged in a separate FPGA programmer.
QUIC and Homa are not remotely similar and have completely different design constraints. I have no idea why people keep bringing up QUIC in this thread other than "It's another thing that isn't TCP." Yes, many things are not-TCP. The details are what matter.

Yes, art is a product, particularly in the context of this conversation about AI.

Very little is the unique expression of a singular consciousness.

Art being "good" is subjective and the audience is the source of that valuation.

> I'm not in the industry and I can tell he's failing to conceive many possibilities.

It's also possible that because you're not in the industry, you don't understand the problem domain well enough.

Tech bros love to think they're just so much smarter than everyone in other industries, but it rarely ends up being true. We saw this with Blockchain; this distributed consensus protocol was supposed to solve all the problems with money transfers, settlements, and securities across the world and uh... did none of that. But tech bros sure did love to talk about how the blockchain doubters just didn't understand the technology, without considering that maybe they didn't understand the problem space.
Windows 2000 was the sweet spot for that, for sure. A volume license version of Windows XP will activate without any "mothership" to talk to, as well.
I'd go to the card catalog (index), turn my question into a bag of words (tokenize), fetch all the cards matching each token (posting lists), drop cards which didn't include enough of the tokens (posting list intersection), ordering the cards by the number of tokens they matched (keyword match ranking), filter at some cutoff, and then reorder based on the h-index of the author (page rank). Then I would read each paper in order, following citations in a breadth-first manner.

(the above is a joke comparing old school library work to search engines circa 2000; I didn't actually do all those steps. I'd usually just find the most recent review article and read the papers it cited).

I run mail servers for myself, a couple of side projects, and some friends and family. A double-digit percentage of all spam caught by my filters is from Google's mail servers, not just forged @gmail.com addresses.

Of the "too big to block outright" spam senders, behind Twilio Sendgrid and Weebly, Google is currently #3. Amazon is a close #4. None of the top four currently have useful abuse reporting mechanisms... Sendgrid used to be OK, but they no longer seem to take any action. Google doesn't even accept abuse reports, which is ironic because "does not accept or act upon abuse reports" is criteria for being blocked by Google.

Most spam from Google is fake invoices and 419 scams. This is trivially filtered on my end, which makes it perplexing Google doesn't choose to do so. I can guarantee that exactly 0% of Gmail users sending out renewal invoices for "N0rton Anti-Virus" are legitimate.

Not always. Most† interlaced video is indeed upper/top-field-first, but some is lower/bottom-field-first! DV, for example, is usually BFF.

It gets even more complicated with modern GOP codecs that can also be PAFF or MBAFF.

Here in Colorado, it was interesting to see one of the few things the D and R parties could agree on is that FPTP was the best possible system. I'm pretty confident because without it, more parties would show up if people could actually vote for who they most align with instead of voting for (who they most align with who they believe will have a chance to win the election).

You can’t just reject or correct the flight plan, you’re a consumer of the data. The flight plan was valid, it was the interpretation applied by the UK system which was incorrect and led to the failure.

There are a bunch of ways FPRSA-R can already interpret data like this correctly, but there were a combination of 6 specific criteria that hadn’t been foreseen (e.g. the duplicate waypoints, the waypoints both being outside UK airspace, the exit from UK airspace being implicit on the plan as filed, etc).

I totally agree that we're continuing to see a trend of applications which are designed to work directly on S3.

However, like the S3 protocol, I think that the file protocol is cemented in time as something that we will be using 100 years from now. For example, most AI applications do still download data sets to local file system devices to actually load and use, this is why you see a lot of HPC workloads use things like Lustre. Postgres, SQLite, etc all use file system semantics to operate the database.

I totally respect folks who rewrite their applications to work directly with S3, but as you point out, it comes with a different set of challenges (around caching and chunking).
