Those Saturn Vs are so amazing.

Everything I think about them. As you state, just the fuel pumps (that pump fuel at cryo temperatures) are hundreds if thousands of horsepower and are amazing fears of engineering on their own. Each piece of that engine is like that.

I had the immense privilege of seeing a few F1s in person recently in DC and I was not let down.

Thank you for bringing them up.
Nop. You need to download Threads app and create an account (using your Instagram).

Of course Instagram helps, because they keep showing Threads posts on Instagram, notifications, etc, so people download and create an account, but is not automatic.
I didn’t read where the US is mining out all their coal deposits and dumping them in the ocean.

Current exploitation of coal in the US maybe be declining, but it is still an important part of a robust portfolio of energy technologies. The US is, in fact, the Saudi Arabia of coal and, to meet robustness requirements for meeting short and long term US energy demand, coal is a common sense component. Maybe eventually only in some mothballed-annual testing-fast restart sense, but it’s a very cheap insurance policy. Keeping the pilot light on for the US coal industry as well, from a National Security standpoint.

Keep improving renewables, but don’t throw away what works. There’s a beauty to a highly diverse portfolio. You sleep better at night.
aaaand this will never make it to the front page and HN is yet again guilty of misleading people by rocketing pro-left narratives to the top of the front page while letting the corresponding retractions and corrections wallow in obscurity!
So what does that actually look like in practice, lifting the piece of rubble an inch at a time? How slowly would you release a tourniquet in that situation?
I'm not sure Bluesky filters out angry content at all, as this is what I see when I don't follow anyone or have any followers [0]. I wish there was way more filtering than what I currently see as it makes me not want to even interact with Bluesky if that's what I see as a new user.

Thanks for being open - I've learned a lot in this thread.

I honestly had no idea that anyone "left of center" felt they couldn't openly share here, as I have always mentally categorized HN as a leftist echo chamber (hopefully that's not too blunt - it's just my honest perception).

I naively assumed that it was only those more right-of-center that felt their worldviews and opinions were unwelcome here, judging from the instantly dead posts I see of anything remotely right-aligned.

From your short share, I see that the echo-chamber is unwelcoming to a much broader sphere of humans than I realized. I find that super helpful to understand - so thank you for sharing.
encode it with enough filler as to reduce its "entropy" :)
Your engineer comment is unwarranted.

I’ll say though … Live streaming is a radically different tech challenge than serving static content.

And this fight was the first live streaming event Netflix has ever done.

Let’s not trash our HN friends, since many Netflix engineers are active on HN.
Wube at this point could announce they made an arsenal of thermonuclear devices and I'd trust them with it.
Using a combination of both chatgpt and claude/sonnet. Codebase is not very complex or cutting edge (e.g., data pipeline to maintain a local db, and an analytics system). These are not enterprise or even public facing applications.

For additional context I have not been a software engineer professionally for over a decade but still am in the engineering field.

Usually I will feed in a few functions (or just 1), sometimes a whole module if it small enough, and prompt it for general performance, and maintainability improvements. I just kinda iterate from there. I also restart chats often
> most VR people can't play Alyx without buying a whole new computer.

When Alyx first came out I had a PC that was the minimum recommended specs for VR from the day the Vive launched (4790K and Geforce 970). The game ran fine.

It sure as hell got better when I upgraded to a 3900X and 3070, but it plays just fine on the original minimum requirements VR PC which was a $1500 PC in 2015.

The idea that PC VR requires a massive rig is just nonsense. Computers that run VR perfectly fine are literally being forced in to retirement, they're officially obsolete.
Having participated in the notes system, it largely became another ideological battleground and was too slow to add the, by and large, accurate notes in the end. The majority of views and reactions had already happened

One of the appealing aspects of Bluesky / ATProto is that there can be multiple fact checkers that users can subscribe to, which can have differing governance models, policies, and operations. Within the app, you can decide which ones (more than one even) at an individual level. This means we can have competition, but also echo chambers. It will be interesting to see how it works out
Totally, and the controls for the motors have to be crazy now. Imagine trying to reliably switch and vary that amount of power to turn on and off, and control speed at that level of power
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/honors/soln.html

Worked example using p = 3 and q = 11.

φ(n) is the most complex part, but you can take it as shown if you don't care about the proof. For two primes, φ(p * q) = (p - 1) * (q - 1). The proof of this is more complex, and the calculation can get more involved if it's not a pair of primes, but for RSA it's that simple.

Coprime can be defined using middle/high school math: two numbers are coprime if gcd(n,m) = 1. They have no common factors other than 1, that's all it means. So 4 and 9 are coprime even though neither are prime.

----

φ(n) is Euler's totient function. It gives you the number of numbers coprime to n in the range 1 <= k <= n. So in the worked example, φ(n) = 20 means there are 20 numbers in that range that have no factors other than 1 in common with 33:

1 2 4 5 7
8 10 13 14 16
17 19 20 23 25
26 28 29 31 32

None of those have 3 or 11 as factors.

Netflix's technology is so nonsense that right now for the boxing match they are dropping the quality to 720 pixels.
>Is there vision tests similar to audio tests where they figure out one's individual responses to different wavelengths of light? Super neat.

Unlike consumer audio equipment where you can easily do a frequency sweep to test hearing, you'd need a specialist light source to do the same. Something like a tunable laser. You could probably use a prism to do a similar sweep from a white light source.

Statistical process control as a concept is a sound idea in theory. When talking about real world complex dynamic systems like operating systems and processes handling random load vs things like assembly lines, it’s less clear it’s on a solid mathematical foundation. Clearly what’s happening in that paper isn’t starting out with some principled idea but instead filtering out patterns deemed “noise” and adjusting the levels for those filters to generate “results”. I think if you read through the lines it’s clear the engineers being supported by this tool aren’t really relying on it which tells you something
In this context, it is less about viability and more about just getting things to work at even the slowest of speeds.

Nobody does swap over things like NFS or NBD unless they have to.

(Even in the Dreamcast days, common home networks were vastly slower than local disk.)
I hate to agree. For an article about metaprogramming in C++, you'd expect expert level C++ code, and not what's presented here. It's bad. And the first example with the list even has a bug.

Netflix failing to broadcast the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match
Tons of 504, gateway timed out when I try to watch it. Everyone I know cannot watch the fight at all. Billed as the most watched boxing match of all time. This could be a huge failure event if these issues are as widespread as I think they are going to be.

It was even more ludicrous in this case because a ton of the app logic was inside stored procedures.
It doesn't matter how much Musk pays, trying to sell to to the social concious that twitter is a "news app" is a fool's errand.

That said, I do agree that Twitter is a horrible social networking platform. Not even in a snarky way.

- I could never follow conversations on whatever the hell response system it sets up.

- It's focused on short form comments but tons of people use it as a blogging platform (including its new owner).

- The algorithms and filtering are just horrid. It is so bizarre how I can be logged off and not even see user feeds in any meaningful order (ignoring that it filters out NSFW stuff).

- They recently made worse with blocking changes. a social networking tool with bad user filering is failing its most basic task. meanwhile they also recently decided to privatized what people liked, so it's all sorts of backwards in its design.

But despite all that, Bluesky as a "social network" platform solves #3. For now. Wonderful,I can see tweets in reverse chronological order without being logged in (and for now, the curation is... fine). But people still want imageboards with small character limits so I'll just continue to yell at a (literal, not digital) cloud.
Don't worry, I am perfectly fine. Don't take my reply too seriously, I didn't mention the turbo-encabulator for nothing ;)

The part about a lack of space is serious though, it has always been a frustration, more than time and expenses. Not enough to warrant major changes in my life though, it is just a hobby among others.
Strictly enforcing rules with no wiggle room increases my trust in the FDA.

You don't need dispatchable baseload and batteries do scale enough. If nuclear was cost competitive, I'd support it, but it's just not. Look at how much renewables China is building vs. nuclear, if you think this opinion is somehow political in nature, it's not.

It's not. Theres been 'live reunion' for Love is Blind, and theres a chef guy that has a 'fully live' show.

I agree the engineer comment is not phrased well but the main point I think is: clearly someone(s) at NFLX screwed up.
I don't think you understand the reason for the ZIP archive file design.

Back in the late 1980s, backup media for consumers was limited to mostly floppy disks, some users had tape/another hard disk.

Say you had a variable number of files to compress and write out to a ZIP archive.

IF you write out the central directory first, followed by all the individually possibly compressed and/or encrypted files, you'd have to calculate all the files to be archived, process them (compress and/or encrypt), write them out, then go back and update the info for the actual compressed values and offsets for the ZIP local entries.

Now if you wanted to add files to the ZIP archive, the central directory will grow and push the following individual compressed/encrypted files further out and you'll have to update ALL the central directory entries since each entry includes an offset from the beginning of the disk - if the archive does not span multiple disks, this offset is from the start of the ZIP archive file.

So that's one reason for why the ZIP central directory is placed at the end of the ZIP archive file. If you're streaming the output from a ZIP program, then placing the ZIP central dir at the start of the file is a non-starter since you can't rewind a stream to update the ZIP central directory entries.

Why do some programs ignore the ZIP central directory as the ONE source of truth?

Before SSDs and their minimal seek latency, coders discovered that scanning the ZIP local entries to be a faster way to build up the ZIP archive entries, otherwise you're forced to seek all the way to the end of a ZIP archive and work backwards to locate the central directory and proceed accordingly.

If the central directory in the ZIP archive is corrupted or missing, the user could still recover the data for the individual files (if all the ZIP local entries are intact). In this case, ignoring the ZIP central dir and scanning sequentially for ZIP local entries is REQUIRED.

The fault here is the security scanners. There's never been any guarantee that the ONLY data in the ZIP archive was only valid ZIP local file entries followed by the ZIP central directory. Between ZIP local file entries, one can place any data. Unzip programs don't care.
Why use `xargs` instead of `-exec`? And if you do need `xargs` (for example, for parallel processing with `-P`), it is recommended to use `-print0` with `find` and `-0` with `xargs` to avoid issues due to filenames.
If you're maintaining a part of the code by yourself, some devs might not want anything to do with it, they won't read it or think about it or even learn to use it if they don't have to.

Especially if they're busy, it's very easy to wind up as the lone maintainer of some fairly isolated part of the system that nobody else touches because you seem to be doing just fine.
it's very hypocritical to say nothing interesting is on a platform or that it's all soo loud and then proceed to perpetuate that by using a hyperbolic turn of phrase in your own comment that no body asked for.
Both the comment and TFA clearly indicate it's measured in terms of fatal accidents, not fatalities.

When Musk himself is making the experience more hostile for users and advertisers, I think this is the few times "we're not X" is applicable.

I always say that the only thing that can kill these conglomerates is themselves. Musk has done a wonderful job of that these past two years. This wasn't a spur of the moment thing with some explicit breaking point like most other migrations.
As discussed elsewhere in this thread, butterflies retain some memories formed as caterpillars after every cell in their body changes drastically. They never die but they change immensely and still retain memories, so I'm not sure we know enough to say what good and bad assumptions are here.

Also this should be relatively trivial to test.
It was made up in 1994 and is therefore a new word, especially relative to the words it is trying to forcibly replace. And its popular usage was a part of the “current culture wars”.
The audience here skews towards those the truth.

Most of the offered cryptographic primitives (encrypt-data[1], decrypt-data[2], derive-key[3]) are not easy to use correctly.

The encrypt/decrypt data interface uses AES-256-CBC with (seemingly) no authentication, and the key derivation uses PBKDF2 with default iterations of 1000 and vague instructions on which value to choose. No interface to a memory-hard KDF is available.

This, along with the notion of memory safety from untested C code doesn't really instill a sense of confidence in me...

I would suggest throwing away all the cryptographic primitives you currently have and instead interface with libsodium, which is a library designed for the rest of us non-cryptographers.

From what I've read the flat structure goes in the bin when they've decided to go to the finish line on an idea
Imagine putting all that effort into 'decentralization' and then building literally, the most Orwellian, cucked version of the Internet possible. See the thing with free speech is that a lot of views that might be concerned 'offensive' are in fact defined by society at that point in time. It was once considered offensive to state basic facts about astronomy to the church. It's been that way throughout history that one person's 'offensive' is another's truth. Sometimes objective truth. But usually always an ever-changing target.

Now lets say for the sake of argument that a person's speech is just trolling hateful shit. Contributing literally nothing. I argue that quite often you even want to allow this kind of speech because when almost always when you have 'content moderation' it becomes over-moderation. It's a 'slippery slope' where people are unable to keep their own biases out of moderation. Which brings me back to Bluesky. A deranged, leftist hellscape, designed to enforce the largest possible book of unwritten woke social regulations across the site. Literally stacking the deck against Wrong Think. Or an orwellian nightmare. This is what happens to the internet when you let fucktards moderate it.

Edit: ty for the downvote soyboy. On downvote sites like this if someone doesn't like your post they downvote it and it becomes a popularity competition even if you're right (which is what you're signalling is a good idea btw.) Bluesky is exactly the same. As is reddit. As is every top 100 website at the moment.
